STOP i am CRYING now WHY would you DO THIS

Somehow, the pit in Jack’s stomach got deeper. All consuming. He’d always hated himself, hated this city, had always felt a bone deep aching loneliness settling down heavy on his shoulders, but this was worse.

The one thing, the only thing that mattered now was getting to Santa fe. Fuck how Racetrack looked at him. Fuck how Davey stormed off, how Les had…ran from him.

He swallowed. And if the backs of his eyes stung with tears, then he was practised at blinking them back.

The alley at the back of the theatre was empty when he finally stumbled outside, inhaling deep, throat aching, fists clenching and unclenching at his sides. A restless energy, a bad one, thrumming through him.

He could go now. up and leave and no one would miss him and it would be for the best, he barely even had anything to get, nothing he couldn’t shove in a bag. That picture maybe, of his folks, of- he cut that thought short. That nice pencil he picked up from a supply shop. Nothing important. Nothing that he’d need.

He only looked up from the cobblestone street when the sound of stone grinding against stone came from the bottom of the alley.

A figure was leant against the rough brick, next to the remains of an old torn poster, one Jack had painted months back now, the wind and the rain had all but destroyed it; Medda was barely visible on it anymore, the colours washed out and dirty and grey.

Jack could only tell it was Oscar by the set of his jaw and the glowing red end of his cigarette.

“Hell of a show in there.” He said, breathing out a mouthful of smoke, southern accent drawling.

When Jack stepped closer he could make out the easy smile on Oscar’s face. Casual and amused, teeth showing.

“What do you want, Oscar.” he intended to sound angry, but instead it came out exhausted, caught in the back of his throat.

“Was asked to make sure you were holdin’ up your end of the deal.” He paused while his brought his cigarette back to his lips, inhaled slowly, “brutal though, yeah?”

Jack thought about it. Thought about throwing the punch Oscar was angling for and the brawl that would come of it. The grounding pain of brass knuckles against his gut and his jaw and Oscar’s nose cracking under his knuckles and the burning end of a cigarette pressed into his skin because Oscar fought dirty.

Instead he scowled, and rolled his shoulder.

“So you gonna go crawling back to Pulitzer now?” It came out rough, “can tell him I did my bit.”

“Yeah you sure as hell did.” Oscar finally pushed himself away from the wall, twisting slightly to stub out his cigarette on the brick behind him, he let the silence settle for a moment, movements slow and intentional and arrogance in his stance and the set of his shoulders.

Jack waited, jaw tense.

Oscar dropped the cigarette and ground it under his foot.

“wonder what Michael would say.”

Remember when sarah jacobs punched morris in the face

[kid-blinks-eyepatch]

I agree every time I work up the courage to look at politics I immediately get this creature in my chest that is mad eout of pure feat and it starts to just destroy my ribcage

ik "if you're trans you have to live" and "there'll still be queer people out there no matter what" but right now, death genuinely seems like the best option.

my mental health has been absolute shit for a while and i know i shouldn't be ideating every time i get overwhelmed but that's my reality right now. i don't know where to go, what to do, how i'm going to find community irl. i'd rather die than live in this world.

“I’m telling my crush I like them” “I’m telling my parents ___ wish me luck”

Ok but I’m telling those in power who are safe in their power we will not obey? Behold the brave battalion that stands side by side, too few in number and too proud to hide??
