🌈 : @vandbaerer continued from here

“yes, wheeler. i wouldn’t lie to you.” what would she gain from that? if nancy sucked at driving robin would most likely - and very bluntly - tell her. “you didn’t see me gripping on to anything or screaming for my life. we made it here safely. i would say that is a sign of a good driver.” robin grinned. “and since i’ve witnessed your driving with my own eyes, i think i could learn well from you.” there was also the fact that robin was very clumsy. mishaps could and probably would happen when she got behind the wheel. she was also extremely dyslexic. nancy would find all that out when she began teaching her, robin saw no reason to tell her ahead of time and risk her friend changing her mind. “i’ve driven rat bastard.” that was what her father called the car that had once been bought for her mother before she died. “but only in emergencies.” it was debatable if those things were really emergencies when they pertained to her drunk father. but when he was threatening her and telling her to drive him to the liquor store robin knew better than to disobey. “but i could still use actual teaching.” most of it was for an excuse to hang out with nancy even more. when she asked her if the milkshake was good, robin blinked. “i’m poor. i don’t have any money. i’ve heard they have good milkshakes. steve says so. i haven’t actually had one. maybe we could share one and find out.” it was a very painfully honest answer. robin was lucky she had ramen noodles to eat at home. food in the buckley home was scarce because of her father drinking all his money and a lot of hers away.

🌈 : @araneorum

robin definitely thinks that her word vomiting is a flaw. a humongous flaw. she’s been made fun of more than enough for it over the years but it’s still something that is just uniquely her own. she couldn’t quit even if she tried. and she had tried and failed miserably. at this point, robin has accepted that she is just destined to be a rambler for life. but, hey a gorgeous older woman found it charming so she wasn’t going to complain too much. that was something that would improve with time or age. it wouldn’t improve at all - at least not on it’s own - robin was going to have to slowly work at believing she was actually worth something before any kind of self-love could happen. years of damage had been done by her father and the others around her. that damage would have to be worked through a little at a time and undone. robin blushed as her compliments were fed right back to her. this was something she wasn’t used to and at first, she stammered not knowing how to respond. “i…uh…um thanks.” although the smile on her face showed just how much she appreciated what her woman was trying to do. she stepped closer and placed her hands on andromeda’s hips to pull her closer. “super smoking bonkers hot is acceptable.” she started as she looked down into those beautiful eyes. “but i prefer handsome instead of pretty and beautiful.” she tested the waters. “is that okay?”

@wontgodowninhistory .

THIS IS JUST ONE of the many things that andromeda loves about robin : her awkward word vomit rambling . it’s just so very charming to her , even if robin herself thinks it’s a flaw . she wishes that her much younger girlfriend loved herself a lot more than she does , but she supposes that could be something that is improved upon as she gets older . she’s got a little soft smile on her face [ … ] one could almost describe it as dazed . or , perhaps dazzled would be a better description . either way , she’s definitely quite fond of robin and isn’t afraid in the slightest of showing that plainly , ❛ you’re super , smoking , bonkers hot . and pretty … and beautiful . ❜ andromeda reiterates , effectively throwing robin’s compliment diversions right back in her face with nothing but truthfulness && adoration lacing both her tone and her facial expressions . hell , even her emerald green hues are perfectly displaying those things . no shame , no strings , no rug to rip out from beneath her . robin needs to learn that she can be loved , and andromeda is going to show her .

🌈 : @irrcdeemable continued from here

“someone…” she started out before clamming shut. it was an off day for robin. no one else was supposed to hear that! sometimes robin talked to herself and didn’t realize that she’d said it outloud. this had to be one of those times. she normally kept personal things like this to herself and just accepted them for what they were. things that were out of her immediate control. but sometimes the pressure was almost unbearable and she found herself cracking and blurting things out from the frustration of it all. “crap…just…forget i said that, okay. it’s been a long day.” and it would just get longer when she had to go home to deal with her father. “sorry.” she felt like a fool. out of all the people she could have the start of a breakdown in front of it had to be billy fucking hargrove. and what the hell was wrong with him? he was standing there trying to be nice to her. he probably just wanted to get his movies and go home. she doubted that he wanted to stand around family video listening to her problems. “are you ready to check out?” blue eyes diverted to the tapes sitting on the counter in front of him. not one single title interested robin but they weren’t surprising selections for someone like billy. ““i’m sorry, these are on me okay?” it was the least she could do for making a fool out of herself in front of him. there was also the fact that she couldn’t really use the perk of free rentals - no vcr or even a decent working television - so why not pass it on to someone else?

🌈 : @araneorum asked:⑁ / kat ! // still accepting this meme

the squeak that kat let out as she leaped onto robin’s lap was endearing. everything about the other girl was adorable and she was completely enamored with her. the notes for her history exam were pushed aside and forgotten as both arms went securely around the other girl. yes she was there to study but she wasn’t going to reject some attention. “what's wrong? is ancient greek history boring you?” robin never got bored with anything that was providing her knowledge. she was especially fond of history and learning how past idiocy shaped the modern idiocy of the world. “you know we are supposed to be studying. that’s why i came over.” robin didn’t really need to study, she already had most of the material memorized. just like her ears, her mind was also a little genius. she absorbed knowledge like a sponge, even if it was something she’d never really need out in the real world. “would you rather do something else?” robin’s heart raced at the thought of cuddling with kat. her parents didn’t know that they liked each other and it probably was best to keep that to themselves. she doubted they would get violent like her father would but they might stop her from coming to their home or at least being alone with kat while she was there. they’d known her since she was just a little girl and kat’s mom would babysit her whenever robin’s grandmother just needed her out of the house for a while. robin didn’t want to tarnish their belief that she wasn’t like her father. she needed them to like her since most parents didn’t. “i could probably use a little break. i swear i’ll dream in greek tonight.” she chuckled as her blue eyes diverted from kat’s and she blushed.

🌈 : @alwaysanangcl asked: “your laugh is so…i missed it // still accepting this meme

”“you did?” the shock was evident. robin couldn’t believe anyone could miss anything about her. at least this was the first time anyone had told her such a thing. she’d been told that her presence had been missed at work by a flustered keith a time or two - but that was mainly due to her impeccable work ethic. this was personal and it meant so much to her. the confession was rewarded with a soft chuckle. it had been so long since robin had been able to laugh. life was stressful between work and her miserable home life, she was really struggling to keep herself sane most days. “i’m sorry i haven’t had much to smile about lately. but it’s not you. it’s definitely me.” she felt bad - almost as if she was making excuses - but jessica knew her well enough to know that was not the case. “everything has just been so overwhelming.” a complete overload that left her completely exhausted. ‘if it means anything, i missed smiling for you.” did that sound lame? probably but robin didn’t care. it was true.

🌈 : @chaoticrebels asked: “well maybe i like my edge. thanks” (kairi) // still accepting this meme

“i never asked you to de-edge yourself.” was that even a word? it would be today robin decided. she didn’t care either way. “edgey can be good.” as long as you weren’t trying too hard. kairi seemed to be trying just the right amount and she didn’t have a problem with that. it was more her attitude that she needed to work on. robin was undecided if she liked her or not. that didn't matter all that much either. she had to work with her and she would. giving her to dingus to train would just make a second dingus and no one wanted that. that was why keith gave all the new hires to her. he knew they would actually learn and do things right. “i’m just saying that the customers might not enjoy your edge.” she put into words she was sure the new employee would understand. god, she hated having to do the whole authoritative thing when she wasn't even the manager. it made her look and feel like such an asshole. “look, i hate them all too. they mostly suck but unfortunately, them coming to the store to rent movies is the reason we have a job.” sometimes they had to grin and bear their stupidity for the good of collecting a paycheck and surviving. at least she did. robin wasn’t wealthy by any means and she needed every cent on her paycheck.

🌈 : araneorum asked: “are you okay?” / jamie ! // still accepting this meme

was she okay? that was up to interpretation. “yes, i’m fine.” robin sniffled and wiped at her eyes.. she was anything but fine, she had been caught crying and it was embarrassing. her hands shook as she tried to open her locker. she couldn’t seem to get the combination right no matter what she did. finally, she gave up. her stupid books could just stay in there for all she cared. robin didn’t want to go to english class anyway. not after she’d been tripped purposefully and humiliated by tommy in front of other students that might be in class to laugh at her. robin didn’t feel like being the object of any more jokes that day. “did you see it too?” she muttered. it would make it less humiliating if jamie hadn’t been around to witness her falling and scraping her already bruised knees. “i hate them! i hate those shitbirds!” robin finally cried out. “i don’t want to go to class.” she never skipped class unlike jamie who did it all the time. “let’s get out of here. let’s go somewhere.” she was distressed enough that she didn’t care if she got in trouble. she’d worry about that later.

🌈 : @notthedyingtype asked: "i think i’m falling in love with you. " - maddie // still accepting this meme

robin’s eyes widened and her heart pounded in her chest. maddie had just said the words she’d been too scared to say. she’d saved her the awkwardness of saying it herself. it was almost a guarantee that if it had been left up to her she would have made a mess of the confession. it was still going to be a graceless response coming from her lips. “wow…i mean really?” she floundered. “no, i mean wow.” her jaw was still dropped as though she’d forgotten how to close it. “you love me? like seriously?” robin grinned as she realized that she should return the sentiment and let maddie know that she felt exactly the same. “i love you too.” she couldn’t just leave it at that. when it came to robin nothing could be short and sweet, she had to ramble on. “i’ve loved you for so long. like almost since i first saw you…no maybe not that quick. since i first saw you in that blue dress that you were wearing…” she prattled onward. “the day you came into the store when it was really hot and you just wanted to soak up the air conditioning until i got off work…” and she continued on. “you know the one with the white buttons down the front?” stop. just stop. “sorry. i just wanted to be precise. that was definitely the moment i knew i loved you. i thought you should know.”

🌈 : @talesfromahs asked: i’m not good at caring about people’s shit on purpose. ” (xavier) // still accepting this meme

“that’s part of the problem for me. i care too much about other people’s problems.” to the point of it being a fault. “and it never turns out well. it just gets me burned and leaves me hurting.” robin was just an empathetic person and she couldn’t shut that part of herself off no matter how much she sometimes wished she could. “you are probably better off that way. don’t get yourself sucked into the void of worrying if everyone else is okay. you just lose yourself in the process and it doesn’t get you anywhere.” look where it got her. living in squalor with a father that didn’t care if she lived or died and working too many hours just to have him take everything she made to buy booze. “the last thing i’d want to do is make my problems anyone else’s even if i let everyone make theirs mine.” she liked xavier. she knew he cared about her even if he had a subtle way of showing it sometimes. robin felt lucky to have that connection with someone.

🌈 : @untilthcyrot asked : “I don’t know. Just needed some air.” ( violet ) // still accepting this meme

"you were starting to look a little..." robin had to carefully think about the color. sometimes she would overthink things. sometimes she would just blurt something out and ramble. it all just depended on what mood of buckley you got at any given time. "gray...like you know when the clouds first come out on a dreary day...you were like that color, vi." and it seemed violet would get a garden mix of it all. overthinking and rambling. "I thought i'd better get you outside before you passed out and died in there." she now hovered around the other girl just looking her over with concern and making sure she was okay without realizing that this too was probably annoying. "oh yeah, i brought you some water." she handed over the bottle and then continued to circle around. robin was anxious about being at a party where people were drinking and from violet not feeling well.
