“Hush now, baby, don't you cry.
Your little tears I'll always dry.
A branch of myrrh and Bolla root
To strengthen you in all you do
With silver and gold, and a strand of rose
And plenty of magic to keep them close.
Hush now, baby, I'm right here
To chase away your every fear
With a drop of mint and a sprig of yew
And three little precious drops of blue.
You'll grow straight and swift and true
And I will always be with you.”
― The Blood Spell

“God, what I wouldn’t give to live in a fairytale, sometimes. Or even just a romantic comedy. In them, this wouldn’t fly. Like, imagine if Prince Charming had picked up the glass slipper and decided the city was too big to scour it for someone who fit the damn thing? Or if Prince Phillip saw Maleficent blowing fire all over the forest and went nope, fuck that, too risky? Or if Prince Eric was all like, “Hmm, I could fight the giant octopus sea witch from my nightmares, but then I could also sail home and return to eating fish I now know are sentient, safe in denial and cognitive goddamn dissonance!”? But they wouldn’t, they wouldn’t have done any of that, because in stories guys fight. They fight for the person they care about, and they don't give up, ever.”
