O Icarus of the fearless flight
For the greatest tragedy of all
Is never to feel the burning light.”

Icarus hates when people are prejudiced about things they don’t understand. This mostly happens when he goes or works at contemporary art museums and a bunch of kids are like ‘ha ha thats looks like my garbage everyone can do that’. It pisses him off because when you take things out of context and don’t even make an effort to understand what it means, then everything is meaningless. These art pieces are invaluable, are about some people’s struggles && about the era they lived in, and then a bunch of snobs or kids come and start dissing them. It makes him see red. He knows he shouldn’t give much attention to it but since the actual artists aren’t there to defend the pieces themselves, he sure as hell will.

Icarus does most of the stuff he regrets on a whim. He tried joining a band as a drummer && going on tour one summer — ended horribly because apparently, they sucked. He tried fencing once ( because sports, hell yeah ), and that ended up in scars, he has a permanent one on back of his forearm ( he is still planning to find a cool story for that ). When he first got a microscope kit as a Christmas present, he took samples of anything && everything before he realized they looked just like, you know, dots. The only thing that ‘stuck’ was what he did all along, art. So considering, he’s pretty confident in what he does right now. He still fears sometimes because of the whole stereotypical ‘starving artist’ thing, but at least he’s doing something he loves.

He raised an eyebrow, debating for a second
whether his curiosity was worth being an
accomplice if it was a crime being spoken
of. It sounded far from completely innocent,
really, so the painter decided to answer with
a question instead.

“Do I want to know
what you’ve been up
to?”

( fall out boy lyric meme — && — ask )

“It does have its perks,
I’m not gonna lie.”
Icarus replied with a huge grin
and a wink as he leaned on the
counter, trying to figure out
what the other actually meant.
After a couple of seconds, he
raised an eyebrow, curiosity
taking the humor’s place.
“However, I’m inclined
to ask… Why?”

There’s always

“Then you gotta work
harder — Or fail harder.
Your choice, really.”

we talking?”
