"oh, you're pretty fucking delicate." pronounced with an air of don't lie --- and a little bit of wickedness, if only in laura's word choice. "i've seen you go into hysterics over a cigarette." / @readbetween

❛  i used to believe in forever but forever’s too good to be true.  ❜ [ have some more angst kekeke ] @humanremained​​
winnie the pooh sentence starters. // accepting
Elvóthien heaved a sigh as she settled more into the couch in Adam’s office. It certainly wasn’t uncommon for them to take their lunch together, but it had become even more frequent following his amicable split with Megan. She didn’t mind, especially if it meant she could provide any sort of comfort or support for her friend. He would have done the same were their roles reversed.
Their conversation had been idle, pinballing from one random topic to another; from work, to weekend plans, to Kubrick, and anything and everything in between. Elvóthien had observed that he seemed broodier than usual, but she didn’t think much of it and attributed it to his current situation. The cards he had been dealt were certainly less than ideal.
Slender arms crossed over her chest as Adam spoke. Of course that was on his mind. She didn’t blame him. The poor man had quite enough to sort through, that was for sure.
Tumblr media
❝ Now, you know that’s not true.❞ Jade hues lifted to those of blue, and ever so did her head tilt to one side, curls cascading down one shoulder with the movement. ❝ You’re going through a lot right now, and... I know it’s hard. It’s going to be for quite some time, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not light at the end of the tunnel.❞
Shoulders animated in a light shrug. ❝ Besides, who’s not to say that you won’t patch things up down the road? Maybe a brief break was the best thing for the both of you right now. I know that you’re both under tremendous stress -- Megan especially with Mr. Sarif’s high expectations, and I know it hasn’t been easy for you with Pritchard breathing down your neck every second you’re here.❞ She didn’t have the heart to say it, but maybe the breakup was a good thing. He deserved better.
❝ What I mean to say is... Things won’t always be so bad, Adam. Keep your head up, keep doing good work. Things will get better.❞

satoru won’t lie : part of his gift would’ve only been possible thanks to nanami’s cooperation, somewhat surprised he’d entertain the more… spontaneous sort of ideas, even though a surprise party wasn’t all that unheard of for a child yūji’s age. still, it’d have to wait until evening ⸻ among the inevitable abundance of toys & sweets already prepared for him, six-eyes decides to offer him his own present in the meantime.
it’s far from extravagant or conventional, its value hardly likely to be properly grasped by the boy that’s still too young [ … ] but he’s quick to catch up on his knowledge of curses even outside of an environment that swarms with them. a talisman from one of his trips overseas, the most potent one in his arsenal to boot, tinkered with by none other than gojō himself to further strengthen its ability to keep even the most harmless of curses at bay. for the rare occasions he may not be around. sitting the boy down on one of his thighs, satoru makes quick work of tying it around the kid’s wrist & gives his hair a ruffle. “ ice cream & a movie of your choice? ...dad’s treat, of course ! ”
the  boy  had  been  brimming  with  excitement  all  week , eagerly  anticipating  the  20th  of  march — his  birthday. it  was  a  day  he  looked  forward  to  every  year , much  like  any  other  kid. while  gifts  held  little  allure  compared  to  the  cherished  moments  spent  with  his  dad  and  the  indulgence  in  sweets , he  relished  the  simple  joys  of  being  surrounded  by  loved  ones. despite  having  almost  everything  he  wanted , nothing  compared  to  having  his  father  by  his  side. he  was  a  modest  child , content  with  little , despite  his  abundance.
as  he  glanced  at  his  wrist , a  wide  smile  painted  across  his  face , his  eyes  sparkled  with  excitement. "  thanks , dad !  "  small  arms  wrapped  tightly  around  his  guardian's  neck , holding  on  with  a grip  stronger  than  intended , as  if  unwilling  to  let  go. yuji  believed  that  this  embrace  was  the  best  gift  he  could  receive  on  his  birthday. at  the  end  of  the  day , yuji  deemed  this  simple  moment  as  the  pinnacle  of  his  birthday  celebrations. with  boundless  energy , he  leaped  up , unable  to  contain  his  excitement , tugging  on  satoru's  sleeve. "  ice  cream  and  a  movie ?  "  he  practically  squealed , already  poised  to  dart  out  the  door  before  even  changing  into  something  new. "  this  is  already  the  best  birthday  ever !  " without a doubt this was something he said each and every year.

@smertzimy asked: ❛ why can't you just act like a normal person? ❜
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was that some sort of a 𝑻𝑹𝑰𝑪𝑲 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵? It had to be...He of 𝑨𝑳𝑳 𝑷𝑬𝑶𝑷𝑳𝑬 should know just how 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑵𝑶𝑹𝑴𝑨𝑳 she really was. She hadn't been normal a day in her life. It was more likely that he was just 𝑩𝑬𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝒀𝑭𝑼𝑳, which was what earned him the smirk as she turned to look at him with a faked 𝑰𝑵𝑪𝑹𝑬𝑫𝑼𝑳𝑶𝑼𝑺 look. "I'm sorry...have you met me? Who are you? And what have you done with Bucky?" She smirked, before winking and getting up to walk into the kitchen for another coffee. "Don't think you'd like me as much if I were normal."

──── @ungest said ❛ sorry to put you through that . i guess i owe you one now . ❜ *
avoiding  eye  contact  ,  fingers  play  with  the  flower  in  her  fingers  ,  absently  picking  at  petals.  ❛❛  i  think  i’m  the  one  who  owes  you  something.  ❜❜  the  scar  remained  etched  upon  her , a  constant  reminder.  the  memory of  kuroi’s  unblinking  eyes  ,  flashed  in  riko’s  mind.  she  jolts  suddenly  ,  opting  to  take  a  seat  on  the  bench  nearest  to  her.  it  was  a  new  feeling  to  be  on  her  own.  the  newfound  solitude  felt  unfamiliar , with  the  woman  who  raised  her  now gone , leaving  only  the  two  sorcerers  who  had  saved  her.  
❛❛  if  it  wasn’t  for  you  and  gojo-san  .  .  .  i  wouldn’t  be  alive.  ❜❜  her  voice  trailed  off , laden  with  a  sense  of  helplessness. she  feels  the  weight  of  their  near - loss , a  burden  she   couldn’t  shake , yet  knew  she  had  no  control  over  the  circumstances. her  young  shoulders  bore  an  unwarranted  guilt , a  heavy  burden  she  shouldn’t  carry.  before  the  gun  had  been  fired  she  thought  she’d  made  the  right  choice. ( no  matter  what  decision  you  make  ,  satoru  and  i  will  guarantee  your  future ).  those  words  echoed , a  promise  she  clung  to  despite  doubts  about  the  worth  of  her  own  life  in  the  balance. 
Tumblr media
finally  discarding  the  now  picked  apart  flower  she  finally  met  his  gaze , tears  glistening , struggling  to  be  contained.  such  a  gentle  smile  ,  a   calming  presence   —  a  pillar  of  support  despite  the  turmoil  she’d  caused.  they  were  her  only  remaining  constants.  ❛❛  i  don’t  think  i’ll  ever  be  able  to  pay  you  back  for  what  you’ve  done.  for  what  you’ve  given  me. ❜❜  a  second  chance  at  life.

@triickst: ❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜ (from midge!) an assortment of dialogue , accepting .
Tumblr media
❝ OW! EASY! ❞ despite the dramatic declaration of pain, his easy smile proves he’s quite relaxed, eyes following along the familiar words of a book while midge works a comb through his hair. gale normally fusses over his appearance so much that he could give a lecture on proper hair care, but it was one of those mornings where he overslept and didn’t have time to meticulously pull back each strand—so he’d slathered a generous amount of product in it to keep it out of his face. of course this just happened to be the day midge decided to run her fingers through it—and the look of pure horror on her face was even greater than when she’d stepped into the wicked hag’s lair.
and so, the wise wizard does as she says, sitting in front of her by the campfire while she desperately tries to restore his hair’s usual silkiness. though he has the feeling she accomplished her goal quite a while ago, having rinsed and dried it three times over, he makes no move to wriggle free from her careful fingertips.

@grandgrief from here!
“You’re telling me I should’ve left ‘em all alone? I was just doing what was right.”
Tony, or Knockout, as her vigilantism made her dub herself, furrows her brows. Tension melted into confusion at the sound of her own voice echoing back at her, even if it was one word, it was enough to have her stomach drop. "My deal? What's YOUR deal?!" She's defensive, fists clenching. "I'm getting criminals that nobody else seems to touch. You working with them or something?"
Eyes narrow as he stares him down. "I'm not sure I wanna tell you who I am. Not when you can use my voice like that. What the hell is this?"

re: yellowjackets au.
there's already a lot in yj that's influenced by tp / just laura herself! for the most part, it's not very deep --- so this isn't that kind of post --- but i do want to point some of it out for people who haven't seen peaks, because i think it goes a ways to show how easy it is to just throw her in there.
so.
character tribute 1: laura [palmer; sheryl] lee. christian but not in That Way. the episode about laura lee's flight/sacrifice was originally titled 'fire walk with me' after the 1992 film about laura's, so i know for SURE that those parallels were not accidental.
character tribute 2: van. this one's really kind of just 'she's gay and they have the same surname, and every time a girl in horror has the name palmer it's for the same reason' but they'd get along really well. so she gets a mention, anyway.
lottie's powers, if you believe they're powers, are pretty much the same as laura's. the thing is, though, that laura's are tied to a specific group of Beings that i don't especially care to drag into this (even though they live in the pnw, which funnily Is Where They Are). i imagine she'd be able to be useful in surprising ways, though, she's bad to have dreams / premonitions about her own situations. if she tells you you should look over there for food, etc., you should probably do it.
(she is more likely to just go after it herself, though. she definitely isn't going to broadcast That Shit.)
the mall/mirror universe (ft. misty's dreamscape) is all From Peaks. misty's dreamscape is an actual set from peaks --- it's the black lodge/red room/basically the spirit house (where laura 'lives' after she dies, and one of the places she visits in her dreams beforehand). there's a lot of interesting stuff to get in here in the sci-fi of it all, BUT i don't know how much farther they'll take the concept of tulpas/doppelgangers, so i will not. do that.
about actually throwing her in there:
she actually knows a lot about #survival and i would imagine that's true even if she's been stranded in jersey for some ungodly reason, though she might not have so much hands-on experience. i always say laura was a boy scout and i kind of really mean it.
if there's something that may or may not need doing, and half the group is like "hell, no, i don't have a death wish", laura will be in the other half. every time. i'd say she'd be king of the other half, but that spot is already taken. so thanks for taking that off our hands, tai.
they're kids here so it's not like she's running around with EMT certification or whatever, but she will be at least as knowledgable as misty and has probably had more practice, as she is pretty used to being responsible for children. and i hope. misty is not.
i don't really have thoughts about her surviving or not; i kind of assume that if this takes off and i'm doing a lot of development with other survivors, she will, and if not, it's anybody's guess. but i just really am amused by the Very Real Thought that she at least wouldn't be one of the first to die. which is, like, nice for her. once.
and it's kind of... well. obviously not a vacation. but she would be at all times very aware that she dodged a bullet by not being home / from her abusers assuming she's dead. so i think she'd be able to be present in a way she usually isn't, especially when she's [gestures vaguely] that age.
she has tarot cards. sorry to all of you.

you are beautiful, truly. sometimes we're silent, sometimes we're not. independence is the theme of what we have. i'll cook for you if you tell me the concept of art therapy. it works. i think of you as a breeze - cool, calming, and the remnants of it are felt on the skin. i'd never try to contain you.
✨ anonymous. meme. still accepting!

❝You promise? I don't think you'd want to hear about what I have prepared for a keynote I'm presenting in two weeks… Like the newest trends in art therapy and navigating the field in the digital age. It's a lot of notes and stuff,❞ Virote mused—now, he felt borderline insecure about being boring. Was he boring? He was probably overthinking it. ❝Thank you for respecting me. And… If you want to talk to me about something, I'm listening. If you want me to help you find the chili pepper paste, I'll do it. Tell me about your day! And, gossip about the stupid co-worker two floors down from you.❞

on this rare day off , a welcomed respite from the usual whirlwind of chaos , he found himself bothering his fellow first year instead of engaging in his typical activities like visiting shops or diving into manga. boredom had taken over his mind — the worst thing imaginable for someone who couldn't sit still. shoulders slump forward as he dares to reach out and poke megumi's cheek.
❛ whatever you’re going to ask, the answer is no. ❜ / @diaboelic
Tumblr media
❛❛   fushigurooo. don't be like that. ❜❜ he anticipated retaliation for his impish behavior but persisted nonetheless , a question lingering at the edge of his tongue. settling beside his fellow student , he briefly considered stepping away ( a fleeting thought , really ). he felt fortunate not to have been chased off already.
❛❛   I was going to ask if you could summon the dogs. ❜❜ the grin he flashed carried a persuasive edge. his motives were a mix of seeking a challenge — testing his ability to outrun them — or perhaps just a genuine curiosity to witness the shikigami in action. ❛❛   don't say no yet just think about it. ❜❜
