"You see blundering. I see progress. There is beauty to behold in the in-between."

"Sometimes, you have to commit to an action and just do it."

"Drink tea. Read books. Bake. Rest."

"Their dreams are often our nightmares."

"What is time? It is but an infinity loop where the past, present, and future all collide. This moment had already been, has yet to occur, and is happening now."

"I suppose that is what every man must tell himself in war." His voice rasps and he sucks again on the water tube. "That there will be an end, and when it is done, enough if himself will remain. Enough to be a father. A brother. A lover. But we know it isn't true. Don't we, Darrow? War eats the victors last."

"He tasted like my favorite mistake."

"Sinner certainly, never a saint. Villain, antihero, nothing quite suited him."

"They planted us in stones, watered us in pain, and now marvel we have thorns."

"Love knows no bound for mortals and had no end for faeries."

Snapping gators. Read the room, dragon slut magic.

In the meantime, I guess I'm actually going on a road trip with a dragon.
To see a unicorn.

"What happened to the terrified human that was too scared to leave her farm?"

"She fucked a dragon and helped kill a god,"
Cinnamon shrugged. "It changes a gal."

"Friends are just voyeurs at the zoo, waiting to poke at the monster."

"Hell is a mirror."

"You, my child, were created in a hurricane, leaving destruction in your wake. You, as they say, are a storm with skin. Death and rebirth will follow you everywhere. How can one man who knows nothing of the weight of blood tame you? For wherever you go, there you are."

"Life's not just a matter of breathing, it's a matter of being."
