Ship bias + James flint

ship bias meme / @shadowcovcn

okay so like full disclosure here but if you want to ship with this man, please reconsider lmao. chiefly because i think shipping with this man is almost impossible ( it's also honestly not what i'm interested in when it comes to writing him ) but also because, in the unlikely event that it is possible, he will never prioritise you over the Cause, he will drag you down into his own pit of chaos and darkness and you will become an inevitable part of the Captain Flint PsychodramaTM

james & thomas - the only true ship on this list lmao, and even then i think i'm in the minority where the dynamic itself doesn't hugely interest me ? obviously i love it and i love them, but while i think there are aspects i would be interested in exploring, particularly post s4, thomas functions so much as a catalyst for james becoming captain flint and the show as a whole that the before isn't nearly as interesting to me?

james & miranda - i have a lot to say about them and i'm not gonna turn this into a meta on their dynamic but they are super complex and genuinely very interesting to me. a lot of people don't classify this dynamic as a ship but i do and i have Opinions about it because flint's bi erasure is very real and james + miranda + thomas was an ot3, it wasn't just an otp lmao.

#shadowcovcn #* / be yourself. everyone else is taken ( ooc. ) #i think i would only ship with flint if the dynamic makes sense + if i know you really really well #not least because any ship would be super toxic but also because i'm honestly just not that interested in it ? lmao #i know everyone finds flint Hot but i truly think he's a VERY hard character to ship and to say otherwise is a disservice to his character

@shadowcovcn sent: "Get in the car and run him over." Baron @ robin

       “ What? ” One of the more mundane things Robin had needed to get used to during this shoot was staying up all night, every night, but that remark had jolted her awake more keenly than the strongest cup of coffee ever could. She stared across the bar at Baron Afanas, horrified ( it was his fault in the first place that they were all here partying it up at 4am while she and Jeremy had to watch on and remain sober ). “ No! ” Her eyes strayed from Baron to the guy in question — it wasn't unusual for her to get attention like that in a bar like this, but it was usually easy enough to bat away. She'd never felt like she'd had to resort to murder in order to resolve the issue. “ It is one thing for you guys to kill somebody — that is a grey legal area that I'm still not sure my contract for this TV show protects me from — but I can't just... run a guy over because he was being a prick. That's not how being a human works. ”

@shadowcovcn sent: So, to what do I owe this pleasure. - baron

       There had been a considerable minute or two of hesitation before he knocked the door, Jack wanted that firmly on the record — however he hadn't even realised that Baron Afanas was still alive until he'd shown up at Nandor's bizarre excuse for a wedding and become... un-crisped before their very eyes. The sight of his grandsire restored to his eerie splendour, almost unchanged from the old cult days, had stirred something in him very difficult to ignore, though they'd only traded looks and a few scant words at the reception. Hence why he was here now. He was also bored beyond belief.

       “ Well... ” Jack wasted no time at all as the door was opened and he was invited inside, meandering over to sit down on Baron's couch and put his feet up on the coffee table. “ I realised I'd yet to pay my favourite ancient cult leader a visit since arriving on Staten Island. ” Confidence was everything, after all, even centuries later. While Baron's manner — hold on, was that the Sire? — may have disconcerted him once, he'd had far more experience of their kind since then — and perhaps it had rose-tinted his view of the elder vampire a little. “ And, you know, now that Laszlo and Nadja are over the initial excitement of having me here and showing me around, their habit of not leaving the house at all night after night is starting to grate on me. I was hoping things weren't quite so routine and monotonous here. ”

you came back for me? - rowena — suspicious circumstances ( accepting ) / @shadowcovcn

CROWLEY SCOWLS, and — for any other dynamic, for any other person, that question wouldn't be so strange. But for their dynamic, it makes him stiffen and get defensive.

" Don't flatter yourself, " he says, a touch haughty — put-upon, like he does when he's trying to avoid drifting too close to the truth. " Left my keys. You just happened to be here. " Does he even have keys...

His brows draw down, and he steps over the couple of bodies in the way — demons all, ones who had declared their allegiance for another. It's not often he flexes his power; he barely broke a sweat. " Now. Let's get out of here before more of these bastards decide it would be fun to test my patience even more. "

indie canon & oc multimuse,  containing muses from a variety of different universes.  selective and low activity. est. 06/16,  written by lottie ( she / her ),  gmt,  25+​

                          FULL MUSE PAGE  +  MEME TAG  +  PINTEREST

my worldbuilding is heavily affiliated with the following writers : villainmade + musecraft + mysfated + imbricare + shadowcovcn + polarnoid

                         please read the rules below the cut before interacting !

RULES :

• This blog is selective & low activity, meaning that I only write with mutuals for my own state of mind. I work and have a busy life outside of tumblr which takes priority, so I cannot write with everyone. I also do sometimes practice exclusivity, although I tend to be very picky about this: any portrayal to which I am mains or exclusive is listed on that particular muse’s page.

• I have several multi affiliates / mains listed above, who are my go-to blogs when it comes to muses. Their blogs are not total exclusives per se, but I will play favourites with these writers, especially as we have a number of ongoing dynamics and pairings that we write together.

• In addition to the muses listed below, I also have certain private/request muses that I do not actively feature on my official muse list below, but can be found on my more comprehensive muse page linked above. These are generally on the blog for specific writing partners, but I am still more than willing to write them with others if requested ( providing, of course, that I am not exclusive to another portrayal ). This also includes my OCs!

• This blog also acts as the main for my two Stranger Things sideblogs. You MUST be following this blog in order to interact with my Scoops Troop kids or El!

• Be aware that inspiration, not obligation, directs my muse to write, so do not expect me to be fast to write everyone on the blog. There will be some muses who are neglected in favour of others depending on where my mood or enthusiasm strikes.

• I do not care to see call out posts or any other kind of drama. I will unfollow and potentially block if I see it on my dash: I am here to write, not to engage in tumblr politics.

• I ship based on chemistry and, for the most part, I am open to them ( dependent on particular muse of course! ), however I do not automatically ship ‘canon’ pairings – chemistry must still be there first. Smut is only ever likely to be written with partners that I am comfortable with on an out of character level.

• I have no triggers, and I will endeavour to tag anything appearing on this blog that could come under that label, but be aware that due to the variety of muses featured on this blog, dark topics may crop up from time to time.

• Usual Tumblr etiquette applies. Please don’t godmod, don’t rush me on replies as I am very slow, please make sure meme replies are transferred over to a new post etc etc. Icons were made, although not capped by me, so please do not take them.

• If we are mutuals, I absolutely want to write with you! Hitting up my IMs for plotting is likely the easiest way to get something going with me, but sending a meme or liking a starter/interaction call absolutely works too!

• I’m Lottie, she/hers, 25+, GMT timezone. I’ve been writing on tumblr since 2014 and I can also be found on my other blog, trickstercaptain, if not here. Mutuals are welcome to ask me for my discord!

@shadowcovcn ; 🎲 17. An upside-down "Spider-Man" kiss ( x )

HE  LIKES  TO  HEAR  HIMSELF  TALK ; doesn’t  take  genius  intellect  to  figure  that  one  out , especially  not  after  sharing  a  cell  with  the  guy  for  a  couple  of  months . it’s  not  just  the  talking  though  -  Axel , he’s  figured  by  now , primarily  opens  his  mouth  to  get  a  rise  out  of  people . a  little  prodding  and  poking  where  it’s  the  most  uncomfortable , coupled  with  some  random  provocations  thrown  in  for  good  measure . a  part  of  Tommy  is  impressed , that  Axel  doesn’t  get  beat  up  on  a  daily  basis . a  part  of  Tommy  is  also  impressed  with  himself  because  occasionally  he’s  the  one  who  wants  to  beat  him  up . other  people  probably  would  need  a  new  set  of  teeth  by  now , but  there’s  something  about  Axel  that  keeps  Tommy  from  going  all  out . maybe  it’s  the  fact  that  what  he  says  is  actually  pretty  entertaining . or  maybe  it’s  the  fear  of  being  alone  in  a  cell  again , stuck  in  there  twenty – four – seven  with  nothing  but  one’s  own  thoughts  for  company . that , frankly , still  scares  the  shit  out  of  him .

two  things  about  this  still  aren’t  appreciated  though . one , the  fact  that  some  of  those  dialogues  happen  in  the  middle  of  the  night , when  all  that  illuminates  their  little  corner  of  this  shitty – ass  hellhole  is  the  emergency  exit  sign  glowing  at  the  other  end  of  the  hallway , through  the  tiny  window  in  the  metal  door . two , the  current  topic  of  conversation  being  Tommy’s  alleged  repressed  sexuality . Axel  has  apparently  decided  to  go  full  Freud  on  his  ass , theorizing  about  the  tough – guy – shtick  being  a  front  to  hide  insecurity  (  duh  )  and  throwing  out  the  idea  that  there’s  nothing  wrong  with  being  gay  (  Tommy  isn’t , but  he’s , frankly , too  tired  to  argue  ) and  that  it  might  be  freeing  to  just  live  it . while  Axel  paces  the  cell  like  a  trapped  tiger with  a  stupid  haircut , Tommy  is  sprawled  on  the  top  bunk  bed , head  hanging  upside  down  from  the  edge , eyes  on  half – mast  from  sleep  deprivation , rubbing  his  temples . he  briefly  wonders  if  they  guy’s  managed  to  find  himself  some  speed  in  here .  .  . and  if  so , whether  he’d  be  willing  to  share .

“ Axel - ”  dumbass  name  for  a  dumbass , but  incarceration  somehow  makes  it  more  difficult  to  judge  people . ‘ free  love , pretty  boy . ’ for  someone  who  allegedly  isn’t  gay , he  sure  likes  to  compliment  men  a  lot . “ Axel ! ”  ‘ not  for  me , but  I  hear  it’s  pretty  cool . ’  he  sees  him  wave  a  finger  around  from  the  corner  of  his  eye . “ yo , Mohawk ! ” he  pauses . finally . “ get  your  ass  over  here . ” he  figures  he’d  be  too  curious  to  resist , and  as  expected , Axel  traipses  over ; not  one  bit  afraid  of  him , not  even  for  a  second  since  the  moment  they’d  met . a  fact  that  Tommy  still  finds  insulting  occasionally . he  studies  the  other  boy’s  face  from  his  upside  down  position  for  a  moment , then  reaches  out  to  cup  his  cheeks  without  warning  and  pull  him  in . the  kiss  is  planted  firmly  on  Axel’s  lips , no  hesitation , no  nothing . in  the  back  of  his  mind , Tommy  registers  that  those  lips  are  way  softer  than  he  had  anticipated  and  that  it  doesn’t  feel  as  weird  as  it  should . it  also  clicks  that , should  Axel  decide  to  tell  anybody  about  this , his  reputation  would  be  shot  to  shits  and  he  might  end  up  in  the  hospital  wing , forever  labelled  queer , but  Tommy  hasn’t  slept , can  barely  scrape  up  enough  energy  to  breathe , and  frankly  doesn’t  give  a  shit  anymore .

the  kiss  lasts  for  four  or  five  seconds  tops , and  when  he  pulls  back  again , his  hands  are  still warm  on  Axel’s  cheeks . green  eyes  curiously  glimpse  towards  the  solid  metal  door . “ huh . shit . and  I  was  thinking  this  is  gonna  open  now . with  queer  stuff  being  so  freeing  and  all . ” the  fact  that  his  lips  still  tingle  a  little  and  that  this  very  brief , very  basic  human  touch  is  almost  a  balm  to  his  soul  right  now , is  something  he  absolutely  will  not  admit .

@shadowcovcn ; “it didn’t work the first three times, what made you think it would work the fourth?” - jeremy ( x )

HE’S  ABOUT  TO  KILL  A  BITCH ; bitch , in  this  case , being  synonymous  with  Jeremy . again . frankly , Tommy  isn’t  sure  whether  he  wants  to  unleash  that  rage  bubbling  barely  below  a  very , very  thin  surface  towards  the  kid  next  to  him , or  towards  the  fucking  car  he’s  been  trying  to  hotwire  for  the  past  fifteen  minutes , but  something’s  gotta  give  and  soon , before  he  pops  an  artery . he  actually  knows  what  he’s  doing . for  once  in  his  life , he  fucking  knows  and  it’s  still  not  fucking  working . especially  not  now , when  Jeremy  is  watching , and  they  really  need  a  damned  car  to  leave  this  creepy  ass  trailer  behind  before  something  else  decides  to  come  through  that  portal  in  Munson’s  ceiling . Tommy  is  still  working  underneath  the  steering  wheel , chuntering  about  wanting  weeks  of  his  life  back  since  part  of  the  time  he’s  done  was  for  vehicular  theft  and  he  apparently  can’t  steal  shit  so  why  the  conviction , when  Jeremy  chooses  to  pipe  up  in  the  least  opportune  moment .

Tommy  resurfaces  with  a  pointed , deep  exhale , closing  the  green  eyes  for  a  moment . “ I  don’t  know , maybe  it’s  fucking  desperation , Jeremy  - ! ”

the  glare  he  offers  the  kid  would  have  bigger  guys  running  for  the  hills , but  naturally  not  Captain  Oblivious  over  here . he  huffs  like  an  angry  bull , and  eventually  decides  to  get  out  of  the  car , slam  the  door  shut , kick  a  tire , fish  for  his  cigarettes , light  one , and  pace  a  few  feet , only  to  return  and  heartily  kick  the  damn  thing  again . “ y’know , ” he  leans  down  to  the  open  window  on  the  driver’s  side , casually  blowing  smoke  inside  the  car  and , incidentally , Jeremy’s  face . “ why  don’t  you  try’n  be  a little  more  helpful  here , Ms  Passenger  Princess ? huh ? maybe  your  brain’s  working  better  than  mine  since , I  don’t  know , you  didn’t  just  lose  a  fucking  pint  of  blood ? ”

@shadowcovcn ; “ are you gonna keep looking at me like that or are you actually gonna kiss me? ” - axel ( x )

THINGS  NOBODY  ANTICIPATES  AFTER  BEING  RELEASED  FROM  PRISON : freedom  apparently  feels  like  punching  a  bitch  in  the  face . said  bitch , naturally , being  Axel , standing  maybe  eight  feet  away , a  bottle  of  vodka  clutched  in  his  hand  with  the  door to  the  shabby  ass  motel  room  they’ve  rented  for  the  night  already  ajar  behind  him . just  looking  at  him  with  arched  brows , while  Tommy  tries  to  sort  through  the  mess  that  is  currently  coursing  through  his  inebriated  head . he  hadn’t  expected  Axel  to  be  the  one  to  come  pick  him  up . frankly , Tommy  had  believed  that  after  Axel’s  release  a  month  prior  to  his  own , the  guy  would  be  out  of  his  life  and  gone  forever  (  and  truth  be  told , he  wouldn’t  have  blamed  him  for  it  ) and  yet  he’d  been  the  one  standing  on  the  parking  lot . leaning  against  Tommy’s  Alfa , that  he  apparently  had  stolen  right  out  of  his  parents’  garage  after  Tommy , drunk  on  hooch  most  likely , had  told  him  his  address  at  some  point  in  the  past .

freedom  celebrations  had  happened  in  some  bar  just  outside  of  town  -  with  Axel  being  pretty  much  homeless  and  Tommy  having  decided  that  home  is  the  last  place  he  wants  to  be  at  right  now  -  and  after  fuck  knows  how  many  bottles  of  lager  and  whiskey  chasers , they  had  stolen  said  bottle  of  vodka  from  behind  the  bar  and  disappeared  into  the  night . he  has  cash  in  his  pocket , along  with  his  dad’s  credit  card , and  no  plans  or  expectations  tied  to  him  anymore . it  could  be  the  start  to  complete  and  utter  bliss  and  perfection  -  and  then  Axel  decides  to  open  his  mouth  and  blurt  out  that  stupid  as  fuck  question , that  entirely  derails  Tommy  and  simply  has  him  standing  there , dumbfounded , the  trail  of  thought  that  previously  had  revolved  around  why  the  fuck  has  he  picked  me�� up ? lost  completely .

they  kind  of  hate  each  other . that  much  has  been  previously  established , and  judging  from  the  fact  that  he  really  does  feel  like  punching  Axel’s  lights  out , it  still  stands . they  also  have  kissed  before . not  once , not  twice , but  whenever  it  had  been  convenient  to  blame  it  on  pressure  rising  and  fuck  knows  what  other  bullshit  excuses  they  had  cooked  up . there  is  no  excuse  now , is  there ? I’m  drunk ; well , so  fucking  what , he’s  free . he  could  have  talked  up  any  girl  at  that  joint  and  she  probably  would  have  been  happy  to  join  him  for  a  night  of  post – prison  fun . same  cure  would  be  there  for  the  pressure , so  what  excuse  does  he  have  now ?

(  he  was  there  to  pick  me  up . him . he  had  cared . nobody  else . only  that  ridiculous  motherfucking , mohawk – wearing  son  of  a  bitch . fuck .  )

he  crosses  the  distance  between  them  in  two  easy  steps , one  hand  curled  into  the  fabric  of  Axel’s  shirt  just  on  his  chest , and  his  lips  almost  violently  collide  with  the  other  boy’s , forcing  him  into  a  step  back , right  against  the  doorframe . I’m  drunk  is  a  pretty  good  excuse . pressure  is  decent , too . who  the  fuck  cares  also  makes  it’s  way  up  there , but  the  loudest  of  them  unfortunately  is  he  cares . and  Tommy  hates  his  fucking  guts  for  it . along  with  his  own , when  his  free  hand  comes  up  to  cup  Axel’s  cheek , keep  him  place , body  pressed  almost  flush  against  his , effectively  pinning  him  against  that  doorframe  -  and  the  kiss  turns  into  something  a  little  softer , a  little  more  desperate ;  a peace  offering , almost .

when  he  eventually  takes  a  half – step  back  for  some  air , Tommy  still  glares  at  him  in  the  semi – dark  of  the  hallway . “ this  doesn’t  change  anything  and  I  still  fucking  hate  you . ” just  to  be  clear .

@shadowcovcn ; ❛ If you want me busting kneecaps, it’s gonna cost extra. ❜ Jeremy, but he's joking. ( x )

IS  IT  MEDICALLY  POSSIBLE  TO  PULL  A  MUSCLE  FROM ROLLING  ONE’S  EYES  TOO  HARD ? he  can  semi – ignore  the  occasional  little  ‘ hee – yaa ’s  coming  from  Jeremy’s  general  direction , usually  followed  by  miniscule  karate  chops , that  even  he  knows  are  ridiculous , but  what  is  it  with  shrimp – looking  little  dudes  suddenly  talking  like  they’re  Rocky  Balboa  after  getting  through  one  minor  fight ? Tommy  is  smart  enough  to  know  the  shrimp  is  taking  the  piss . he’s  also  too  sluggish  and  hurting  to  give  a  shit . the  burning  pain  in  his  side  has  subsided  to  a  mild  throbbing  sensation , but  it’s  still  far  from  comfortable . the  fear  that  the  stitches  might  burst  open  again  isn’t  exactly  helping  either . it  perhaps  is  that  concern , more  than  anything  else , that  keeps  Tommy  seated  on  his  ass , content  to  do  some mending  work  to  the  makeshift  arsenal  they’ve  created , via  the  excessive  use  of  duct  tape . on  a  positive  note , he’s  confident  he  could  still  grab  Jeremy  and  tape  his  ass  to  the  wall  if  necessary .

“ the  only  kneecaps  you’re  gonna  bust  are  yours , probably  by  tripping  over  your  own  feet . ” the  cigarette  dangling  from  his  lips  miraculously  makes  him  sound  even  less  impressed  than  he  already  is . he  still  doesn’t  know  what  he’s  done  to  deserve  being  the  babysitter  to  a  bunch  of  infant  bullies  (  he  does , actually , and  it’s  a  whole  fucking  list  )  but  every  jab  directed  at  one  of  those  morons  is  half – assed .  .  . and  occasionally  laced  with  some  degree  of  concern . blame  Harrington  and  his  new – found  Mother  Fucking  Theresa  attitude  that  he’s  got  going . “ sit  your  ass  down  before  you  hurt  yourself . or  before  I  do  it . ” empty  words , no  more , no  less . and  Jeremy , unfortunately , has  already  figured  that  out.

@shadowcovcn ; "What's that smug look for, you think you can do any better?" - axel ( x )

HE  HADN’T  MEANT  TO  LOOK ; curiosity  kills  the  cat  and  all , especially , he’s  figured , in  juvie . it  could  be  a  sigh , a  gesture , a  certain  facial  expression , or  a  single  look , apparently , that  sets  some  of  the  kids  in  here  off  -  and  for  once  in  his  life , Tommy  had  promised  himself  to  keep  his  head  down . do  his  time , get  out  of  here , and  then .  .  . get  stuck  without  knowing  what  to  do . finish  school , his  mother  had  said , and  the  thought  alone  made  his  toenails  curl , but  he'd  run  out  of  wriggling  room  with  his  parents  the  day  police  had  picked  him  up  and  led  him  out  of  the  house  in  handcuffs . so  much  for  unconditional  parental  support .

settled  in  the  back  of  the  canteen , he  had  given  the  whole  head  down  shtick  a  shot ( even  grabbed  a  book ; something  that  he’d  have  never  done  out  there ) but  soon  had  found  an  interesting  pastime  in  watching  some  of  the  boys  shoot  at  empty  cans  with  what  looks  like  a  homemade  pellet – gun . scraps  and  rubber  bands , mainly , but  it  seems  to  work  just  fine .  .  . and  sure  as  shit  is  more  interesting  than  the  book . the  boy  aiming  and  missing  for  the  past  three  minutes  is  no  older  than  fifteen , and  too  nervous  to  hit  properly . Tommy  doesn’t  notice  his  expression  shifting  apparently , and  seems  genuinely  surprised  when  someone  else  calls  his  ass  for  it . tall  boy . the  one  with  the  dumbass mohawk  he’d  seen  running  around  before . frankly , he’s  hard  to  miss  with  that  ridiculous  hair .

Tommy  exhales  a  barely  visible  little  sigh  and  heaves  himself  up  from  his  seat . no  trouble . the  words  are  a  mantra  in  his  head  but  mantras  ultimately  become  boring  after  a  while , so  -  fuck  it . new  mantra  established ; tadaaa . at  the  other  table , he  holds  his  hand  out  and  the  kid  hesitantly  hands  the  gun  over . air  pressure  sucking  up  fucking  dried  peas  into  the  barrel .  .  . it’s   genius  but  Tommy  has  never been  particularly  generous  with  compliments . he  aims , pulls  the  trigger once , twice , three , four  times  and  four  cans  go  flying  off  another  table  a  short  distance  away . a  silent  thanks  to  dad  for  dragging  him  to  the  gun  range  every  other  weekend .

he  hands  the  gun  back , pleased  but  for  once  not  overly  cocky . baby  steps . those  guys  aren’t  friends . “ it’s pretty  cool . ” there  it  is , the  rare  compliment . he  looks  at  rooster  boy  with  his  dumbass  haircut . “ did  you  build  that ? ”

@shadowcovcn ; ❛ have you been standing out in the cold this whole time? ❜ - carol ( x )

ICE  SITS  IN  HIS  BONES ;  THE  SOLES  OF  HIS  SHOES  FROZEN  TO  THE  GROUND  or  it  at  least  feels  this  way  and  Tommy  is  quite  sure  that  none  of  it  is  due  to  the  weather  or  the  cold  of  the  night . his  fingertips  have  gone  numb  a  while  ago  and  something  close  to  a  nervous  tick  has  his  index  mindlessly  tapping  against  his  thigh . he  had  mulled  the  thought  of  coming  here  at  all  over  in  his  head  for  the  majority  of  the  past  two  hours ; too  nervous , too  on  edge  to  sleep , eat , even  to  touch  a  glass  of  anything  usually  comforting , and  had  eventually  decided  that  staying  in  bed , staring  at  his  ceiling  wouldn’t  do  him  any  good  either . his  life  feels  wrong . everything  about  it , down  to  the  core . it  feels  like  a  parody , and  a  pretty  bad  one  at  that , of  some  bizarre  counter  universe  and  he  utterly  fails  to  wrap  his  head  around  it . there’s  a  small  voice  in  the  back  of  his  mind  ( some  call  that  reason , but  Tommy  doesn’t  know  the  concept )  telling  him  that  her  decision’s  perfectly  understandable . that  she’d  been  right  about  everything  she  had  told  him  prior  to  the  line  we  shouldn’t  see  each  other  anymore , which  still  echoes  in  his  head  like  the  cruel  voice  from  the  speakers  at  a  fun  fair . yes , he  had  been  drinking  too  much . yes , he  had  neglected  almost  anything  else  in  his  life . yes , the  crowd  he  had  gathered  around  himself  in  the  past  couple  of  months  is  shady  as  shit . and  still , despite  it  all  sounding  reasonable , he  fails  to  truly  put  two  and  two  together .

the  drive  to  her  home  is  as  natural  to  him  as  navigating  to  his  own  house  is . a  refuge  from  the  shitshow  that  is  reality . a  place  where  he  gets  the  chance  to  be  a  person  he’s  still  largely  unfamiliar  with , but  has  the  potential  to  become  one  day . Carol  is  his  golden  ticket , isn’t  she ? warmth , comfort , love , devotion , honesty , home . how  can  he  be  expected  to  just  cope  with  the  idea  that .  .  . nope .

Tommy  doesn’t  dare  ring  the  doorbell  but  instead  just  -  lingers . the  car  parked  on  the  curb , lights  off ; he’s  not  sure  how  much  time’s  passed  since  he’d  arrived , but  it’s  been  enough  for  him  to  shift  from  inside  the  car  to  outside  on  the  sidewalk  more  than  once . he  had  wasted  time  balancing  on  the  curb , had  kicked  rocks  into  the  gutter , and  -  accidentally  -  scared  a  cat , but  had  not  even  once  considered  knocking . I’m  not  her  problem  anymore ; a  mantra  repeating  in  his  head . as  usual , it  is  Carol  who  decides  to  make  him  her  problem  again . he  turns  when  he  hears  her  voice  behind  him , the  nervous  tapping  fading  in  an  instant , and  his  heart  skips  a  beat  before  it  speed – starts  into  a  manic  frenzy  just  for  the  heck  of  it. “ I  -  no ? what ? no . ” his  lips  curve  up  into  an  almost  nervous  smile . not  typical  for  him  at  all . “ I  -  uh  -  I  also  .  .  .  sat  in  the  car  for  a  while, look , I’ll  just  go . ” Tommy  nods  to  himself , lips  pressed  to  a  thin  line  now . “ and  you  should  go  back  inside . wouldn’t  want  you  to  get  frostbite  again . ”

@shadowcovcn ; ‘ how can I possibly trust you? after all you’ve done. ’ – max ( x )

TOMMY  BLINKS  ;  PAUSES  MID – LIGHTING  A  CIGARETTE  BRIEFLY  JUST  TO  LET  THE  QUESTION  REGISTER  PROPERLY . he  half – turns  even  to  look  back  over  his  shoulder  -  either  to  check  if  there’s  someone  standing  behind  him  who  might  be  the  actual  recipient  of  this  new – found  kind  of  lunacy , or  to  see  if  there  are  hidden  cameras  anywhere .  .  . frankly , he’s  not  sure  either . all  he  knows  is  that  Ginger  Brat  over  here  is  talking  to  him  and  he  has  no  fucking  clue  why .

the  initial  purpose  of  stepping  outside  had  been  to  have  a  smoke  in  peace  and  some  fresh  air  to  take  in  before  the  nerd – stench  of  the  Wheeler  basement  could  clog  up  his  sinuses  for  good . something  down  there  feels  contagious ; like  a  rash  that  already  has  his  skin  itch  and  crawl , and  neither  Steve  nor  Carol  had  managed  to  convince  him  that  he  is  not , in  fact , infested  with  something . geek  spores . judgmental  ones . whatever . he  hadn’t  expected  the  baby  he’s  supposed  to  be  sitting  to  follow  him  outside ( wait , is  she  allowed  to  be  outside ? ) , nor  for  her  to  actually  talk  to  him . frankly , he’s  not  even  sure  what  it  is  he’s  done  allegedly , that  would  cause  this  confusing  little  accusation .  not  to  her  at  least . there  is  nothing , absolutely  nothing , they  have  in  common . the  sole  connection  they  had , seemingly  half  a  lifetime  ago , is  dead  and  buried . and  Tommy  skilled  as  ever , perfectly  ignores  the  fact  that  it  may  be  grief  that  they  share . true , profound , gut – wrenching  grief .

“ okay . ” he  eventually  manages  to  light  the  cigarette ; takes  a  deep  drag  and  blows  the  smoke  nonchalantly  into  Max’s  face . from  what  he’s  gathered , she  might  be  dead  soon  anyways . what’s  a  little  second – hand  nicotine  gonna  do ? at  least  the  cruel  sarcasm  keeps  him  from  overthinking  on  the  fact  that  the  life  of  a  little  girl  is  on  the  line  and  that  that , even  for  him , is  too  fucked  up  to  fully  comprehend . “ then  don’t ? ” and  there’s  that .  .  .
