i'm unwell

It’s like a full-blown addiction, but instead of drugs or booze, it’s this fictional guy who’s got her wrapped around his finger. She knows it’s fucked up—knows she’s out here daydreaming about someone who’s not even real—but who cares? This guy? He’s everything. He’s charming in the worst ways, flawed in every possible sense, but there’s just something about him that has her hooked. He doesn’t even know she exists, but she’s ready to fight anyone who says a word against him. Seriously, she’ll defend his honor like it’s a fucking life-or-death mission.

He’s a goddamn trainwreck, but he’s her trainwreck. She’ll put up with all his baggage, his emotional scars, his dark sides, because somehow, that brokenness makes him feel more real to her than any real guy could. He’s messed up, but she’ll fix him in her head every single time. Maybe it’s that thrill of knowing he’s dangerous and untouchable that makes him even more irresistible. He might break her heart in a hundred ways, but it’s the kind of heartbreak that makes her feel alive, even if it hurts like hell.

And it’s never gonna happen, right? She knows that. He’s not gonna waltz into her life and sweep her off her feet. But it doesn’t matter. Because she gets to have him on her terms—no messy reality, no awkward first dates, no risking her heart for real. He’s always there when she needs him, in that perfect little bubble of fantasy she’s built for herself. And maybe she’s a little crazy for it, but at least with him, she’s never disappointed. Every time she replays his scenes, reads the fanfics, imagines their future together—it's like a high she can never quite shake. She knows it's all just a mindfuck, but she’s never felt more alive.

darlinglore: and more backstory and more backstory. my girl blue cannot catch a break. but we're returning to the present next episode (jj centered of course bc he needs more screen time) ! i hope everything makes sense so far (backstory for blue takes place mostly freshman year and they're in junior year in the present) if you want to be added to the taglist just let me know <333

[darlingchronicles]

blue's backstory really helps with her character in the future especially with jj (bc i strictly kept her mom, career, future, plans, etc out of conversation since one of her characteristics is being secretive) so we only know stuff about her from backstory. for walmart, she mostly got school supplies she couldn't bring on the plan (shampoo, toothpaste, some clothes, etc) and for medical co-pay...well...i'll keep that a secret for now

and i did slip in a little thing about jj in there but yall wont know for a bit 🤭
