My Favorite... DBH!!!
Tysm for tagging me, @peskellence!!! :D
This was sooo so fun! I actually had to think pretty hard about a couple of these, super fun food for thought!!!
✦ Favorite Girl: Chloe!!! I love her, she's so sweet and adorable. I love her!!!! Did I mention that I love her?
✦ Favorite Boy: Connor is my babygirl (if we're talking canon exclusively), but in fanon, Nines RK900 has my entire heart
✦ Least favorite character: Zlatko, irredeemable piece of shit. Burn in hell 💕
✦ Favorite ship: Reed900 all day every day!!! I adore those idiots so so much. They have me in a chokehold
✦ Least favorite ship: RK1700. It's just not for me, esp bcs I headcanon Connor and Nines as brothers. No shade to those who like it tho, ship and let ship!
✦ Favorite side character: Gavin Reed! Whenever he comes on screen he's got me giggling and kicking my feet!!! Nasty bitch, I love him sm <3 <3
✦ Favorite theme/soundtrack: Connor’s theme in The Hostage SOLOS. I confess, I often catch myself humming it to myself as I do little menial chores/tasks to feel a little more fun and important while doing them lmaoo
✦ Favorite chapter: The Nest! Mostly just bcs I love birds and related rlly heavily to Rupert. Yk if I were a deviant you'd catch me bcs of my love of animals lmaooo :3
✦ Favorite platonic relationship: RK brothers!!! Connor, Sixty (RK800-60) and Nines (RK900) all interacting and being cute adorable family. I'm losing my mind I love themmmmm 🥺
✦ Favorite design: I REALLY like Nines' design. His blue/grey eyes..... omg. His white jacket is sooo pretty and striking, and I honestly love his dorky-ass high collar. He can pull it off!!!
✦ Least favorite design: probably the default clothes for more domestic androids like PL600s and AX400s. I'm just not rlly a fan of whatever aesthetic they've got going on there.
Most of the other designs I LOVEEE tho. This game has SUCH good character design it's insane
✦ Favorite scene: in Cyberlife tower where you have to prove that you're the "real Connor" to Hank and you see Hank's softness for you and Connor’s softness for Hank.... hrrrngggg...
✦ Least favorite scene: Zlatko wiping Kara's memory.... don't do this to me... I WILL cry
Not sure who to tag here as idk who has been tagged already or done this yet, but if you're a moot who wants to jump in, feel absolutely free to!!! :D

Guys… You know what I’m here for, right? Yeah, to talk about my current hyper fixation, Prison Break.
As always, spoilers for season 4 under the cut
I’m in the S04E23, and I have a hell of a lot to talk about it.
Firstly, Christina Scofield, I hate you like I never hated another character in my life, I hate you more than I hate Esther Mikaelson, and I never thought that would be possible. How can you think so low of Lincoln?!? Like, I get that you don’t feel maternal love for him, but why do you hate him so much?!? The guy used to go everyday to see you in the hospital, you ungrateful bitch.
Also, loved how Michael was totally ready to first drown and then shoot his own mother for Lincoln and the crew, but I kinda wished he had actually killed someone, maybe Christina herself, but I think that the General would be the perfect choice.
Secondly, WHEN IS MY BABYGIRL SARA GOING TO HAVE MORE THAN AN HOUR OF PEACE AND HAPINNESS?!? Just let her be happy, this woman already suffered so much.
Now, let’s talk about Mahone. Like, I love Mahone so freaking much, he’s my second favorite character, right after T-Bag, but we’ll get on that subject later on. Anyways, Mahone was perfect almost the entire season, but he fucked up now betraying Michael to have his job back, but considering that in the 4 years time-skip he was there with everyone, I imagine he redeemed himself, so I’m gonna wait and see.
Another thing, why in seven hells didn’t they showed us when Michael and Sara finally had sex?!? Me and my sis were waiting for that moment, and they just don’t show us?!? I’m outraged.
Ohh, and C-Note’s and Kellerman’s returns? I FUCKING SCREAMED in my living room. Loved it, and loved to have them back, together with my favorite boy Sucre
And lastly, for the moment everyone knew was coming, let’s discuss my dear T-Bag.
So, after like ten episodes of Teddy being the nice guy, he suddenly remembered that he’s a psycho and went three whole seasons back to how he was in Fox River, even doing the pocket thing? Like, I really don’t get. The writers took three seasons trying to redeem an irredeemable character, by stopping showing scenes of him trying to assault a child, and never again talking about the whole pet thing he used to do in prison, only to now throw all that in the trash by making him be that disgusting with Sara. And, of course, I have to mention what Sara said about T-Bag’s apparent neurologic ED, because I have a lot of questions. He can’t get it up if not by causing pain in someone? He can’t get it up at all? But then, he never had sex with Susan Hollander? And what about the mail woman? She seemed rather satisfied after having sex with him. And, I got a few spoilers, and don’t T-Bag has a son, or something like that? How can he have a son if he can’t get it up? Maybe he can do it, but it’s just hard, or doesn’t last long? So how was that woman so satisfied? Did he learned a few other tricks? Like I said, a lot of questions, and no answers.
I see now that I already wrote way too much, so here I say my goodbyes for now. Tomorrow when I finish the season and watch the movie, I obviously will have a lot to say.
Good night everyone, and kisses from Brazil

Awful Characters Round 1 Part 4 (1/8)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut!
BELOS
So, he is a horrible person, I will not deny it, he willing went into a realm of demons, ignored any possible chance that his upbringing as a witch hunter could be wrong (different from his brother Caleb), and had a years-long plan to commit genocide to every witch, palisman and living being in the Boiling Isles. I'm not going to say he's a "misunderstood poor babygirl". But the fandom just completely HATES anyone who ever sees Belos as anything other than an irredeemable monster! I personally really like his character, he's a really compelling villain, who (despite the haters saying otherwise) has a nuanced underdeveloped backstory of how he was raised on the witch-hunt era, and the betrayal he felt when he saw his brother abandoning everything they stood for as witch-hunters for Evelyn, the witch Caleb fell in love with. He clearly regrets killing Caleb since he makes MULTIPLE grimwalkers of him to try to keep Caleb with him, he's haunted by Caleb's ghost, the moment he saw Hunter (his most recent grimwalker) with Willow, his first reaction is screaming Caleb's name, he is way more than just "evil incarnate" (which is one of the problems I see in the finale of the series, but that's another story). Does this means I think he should be redeemed? No, of course not. But I don't blame the people who do, it could be an interesting plotline outside of canon, and I have seen some good ideas for how this could work! BUT HERE COMES THE FANDOM… I don't know specifically about Twitter users (deleted my account years ago, Goddess bless), but people hate Belos so passionately on Tumblr and Reddit and in YouTube videos that I would be surprised if Twitter of all places was more open to people loving Belos. I decided to search and check some places and I found people on the anti belos tag here on Tumblr that were calling people who wanted a Belos redemption or made Belos Redemption AUs literally ABUSE APOLOGISTS, I wish I was kidding! There's posts of people just liking Belos in general filled to the brim with hate in the notes. Again, I get people not liking Belos, he is a genocidal tyrant (not fascist because not every totalitarian character is fascist), but nothing excuse this amount of hate because of a FICTIONAL WITCH-HUNTER!
he is the worst guy one could ever imagine honestly like he’s literally a fascist so uh he really doesn’t have any redeeming qualities as a person. but as a character? oh boy. he’s soooooo interesting like. he makes you wonder what’s going on inside his head AFTER the episode where you see what’s going on inside his head. and the caleb ghost scene. oh my GOD the caleb ghost scene
NANAMI
Literally killed a kitten and yet is so iconic you can’t not love her

Bad hot takes? Oooof man you know the fandom would be so torn on Emily fr. Half of them would be convinced that she's this babygirl character and utterly wash away all her villainy just because she's pretty, and the other half would swing SO hard the other way and turn her into a complete irredeemable villain... and they'd still call her a girlboss for it. They'd probably also claim that Keira was somehow emotionally abused or manipulated (or TikTok's favorite term, gaslit) for taking the Goblin serum alongside Norman, instead of it being her choice and her passion project too.
In general I feel like your characters would fall into that "girlboss" trench in the fandom, where they only trait people focus on is their badassery and completely omit all of their deeper character traits and motives.
You're absolutely right is the thing. I spend a lot of time in my head wondering what Emily's fandom impact would be if she was a canon character (typically imagining what her AO3 stats would look like) and I believe both sides of the debate would be prolific. People would be at each other's throats over who is the worse influence, her or Henry, and both sides would be wrong. Saying Henry's the manipulative one washes away how truly shitty of a person she is, and saying she's the manipulative one washes away her nuance.
I also feel like her sexuality would be hotly debated, whether's she's straight, closeted lesbian, bisexual (the correct answer), and then of course the debates over if she's bad representation since she's another "queer coded villain."
Tumblr media
I have a really honestly concerning level of thoughts and ideas about her hypothetical fandom influence.
Keira's also an interesting case since theoretically Spider-Man came out in 2002, which is over 20 years ago, so people's media consumption and literacy was different. I feel like she'd be that character that was written off for years before a fandom resurgence takes a second look at her and, as you said, realizes how "abused" and "gaslit" she was, and "oh look how women used to be portrayed in the early 2000s"
Which, yeah, the Raimi Spider-Man movies aren't exactly known for their complex women, Mary Jane being the priiiiiiime example (something I made an effort to fix in my fic). There's a certain internalized fandom misogyny that I think Keira would really serve to highlight. "Women can't be villains or be morally gray" kind of shit, and I feel like Emily would suffer the same treatment.

my thoughts on crime and punishment characters!!
Raskolnikov: he’s so babygirl, he’s just like me fr. Minus the killing people part and the ubermensch complex he has. I’d argue he’s schizotypal but that’s likely not true. So I headcanon him as such. (If it’s unclear, I am schizotypal myself)
Razumikhin: Undisputed best bisexual representation in literature, my GOAT, love him to death, XOXO. No further comments. Perfect character.
Dunia: [to Svidrigailov] GET A JOB. STAY AWAY FROM HER (I wrote this in the book pages where it was relevant). She’s as smart as Rodia from what I read, though she wasn’t developed a lot as a character I think? I still need to re-read the book later. She should’ve shot the revolver at the guy’s head. Probably didn’t want to end up like her brother, though. Unlikely she’d come out winning from killing a man with connections, as evil as he was.
Pulkeria: Didn’t really find her too interesting, but I think that’s because she wasn’t focused on a lot. Remarkably patient towards Rodia, it was infuriating when Rodia just fucked off and didn’t speak to them (Dunia and Pulkeria) for days. His ungrateful ass. I get this habit, though, since I have it myself. Sometimes people are upsetting to be around, for no reason, might I add.
Svidrigailov: Exceedingly, unabashedly, shamelessly despicable. Hate him with my heart. He seems like a parallel to Rodia, and the book seems to focus on this from Rodia’s own observations. Parallel not in a good way, I’ll clarify, but in a “What if he was completely evil” way. I’ve got 40 pages left to read in this book and I’d like it if within the next 20 he ****** himself. Irredeemable but really interesting at the psychological level. He’s insane, it seems. Or maybe also schizotypal. Either way words cannot describe how much I hate this man.
Porfiry: Not much to say here, he ate Raskolnikov up both times they talked though, gagged him 😭 #embarrassing
Lujin/Luzhin (not sure on how it’s spelt): He’s so laughable. Gets insulted once, subsequently sends word of how it hurt his feewings to get clocked at the psychological level by the brother of the woman he’s going to marry, at his historic age like FOH ☠️. And I was livid when he tried to incriminate Sonia/Sofya (I prefer Sonia tbh) like bro really tried that shit 😂😂😂. He got owned by Rodion every single time he tried to fight back it was so fucking funny. Pathetic ass man. Glad he called off the marriage. Asshole.
Sonia: She’s Rodion’s love interest, it seems. I don’t get why she’s going to go to Siberia with him, though. Her family’s taken care of (by SVIDRIGAILOV of all people) and she hasn’t committed any crimes. Is it just something to do with misogyny or something related to it? She told Rodia to confess to his crime to atone, but in a *catholic* way. It’s crazy she got burdened with the knowledge of Rodia’s crimes and still said “Oh how you suffer! Atone for your sin willingly, it’s your only way to get rid of the guilt!” Her abnegate character showed a bit here, methinks. Still, why the fuck would she go to Siberia? Just because she *loves* Rodia? They both seem like they fell in love with each other for some odd reason, or maybe none at all so yeah. She’s also a favorite because of the way they describe her, the blue eyes seem like something I’d like to draw, when I get to it. Though, it’s curious that it’s Svidrigailov in love with Dunia and Raskolnikov in love with Sonia. Dunia and Sonia get stuck with the two murderous morons. (Well, not Dunia, because she managed to get Svidrigailov to not assault her. Again, DESPICABLE man, that one. Hope he dies :D) 
 Anastasia/Anastasya: I love her so much, I wish we’d gotten to see her interact with Razumikhin more because their dynamic was funny to me. She also laughed with a snort if I recall and that is so real of her. She also helped Rodia with food, basically kept his stupid ass alive for free before Razumikhin came back.
Zamiotov: Not much to say about him, really. Funny when Rodia explained in detail how he ‘would have’ gone about murdering Alyona, though. Fucking hilarious to read that shit. Most obvious criminal of all time.
Marmeladov: God knows how many pages he went on telling Rodia his entire life story. Perfect character. No notes.
Catarina/Sonia’s mother: Very tragic. Her death made me feel sad. But the parts before that when she was just DRAGGING Amelia Lippewechsel, she was so real for that.
I think I might be missing a few characters. No worries! I won’t update this lol. I hope those who read, if any do, find this funny.

your current ones for the blorbo/babygirl: ankh and asakura
Oh this is a good one! 👀
Tumblr media
This got a bit long, I love to gush about my blorbos/babygirls at any given chance! So I'm putting my reasonings under a cut:
For Ankh: He is definitely in majority of the kind of unethical, kind of a bastard camp. Ankh is very selfish and self serving. Focusing on his desires above all else and often not really caring what other people want.
Having done many things, and willing to do anything to get his core medals. He is not afraid to betray, and take what he feels is so rightfully his– Regardless of the method and the ethics behind it. Or more accurately, the lack thereof.
Ankh has: Thrown Eiji off a building, attempted murder, stated his (at one point) very real intent to kill Eiji once he feels he's gotten his way, the entire betrayal in the third act. Unethcial actions are not foreign to Ankh, far from it.
However Ankh is capable of not being a entire bastard and doing good. Such as risking himself and throwing himself in front of Eiji going berserk to prevent him from killing Kitamura as one prime example. Because Ankh knows if Eiji did actually kill him he'd be distraught. Earlier on in the show Ankh would have never done something like this, let alone entertain the concept.
So it's why I don't put him entirely in that square.
And his arc where he gradually becomes more human, a bit less selfish, and realizing he actually does care about those he's come to met in his life (even though it's now too late and he's going to die) is just one of the reasons he is still my favorite Kamen Rider character full stop. The Birblo (Bird Blorbo) of all time.
Now for Asakura: This man is irredeemable, and I love him dearly. He loves to kill and commit senseless violence on a whim. He doesn't even have much of a wish for the rider war, except to make the battle go on forever so he can continue to enjoy the thrill of the kill and the battle that the rider war gives him.
The thing about Asakura that makes me so obsessed about him is not so much that he is a unapologetically a villain, with no deep reason for why he does what he does. (Though don't get me wrong here, I enjoy unapologetic bastard as much as the next guy!)
It's the fact he knows he has no tragic backstory. That nothing that happened to him during his life that made him how he is. There is no "good reason", or even any reason Asakura is how he is and does what he does. More than once it's brought up that "there must be a reason for this".
Reiko asking him about why he has such hatred. She just cannot believe there is just this guy who is murdering people just because he's pissed off. There has to be a reason! And Asakura just saying how everyone wants to give a reason to things to make themselves feel better.
And then going on to talk about eating dirt.
Or after Asakura kills his brother, Shinji goes "a person like you can't exist" and he just says "and yet I do." and then just moving on without a care and asking if Shinji wants to go at it and fight.
Or even in the brave let's survive special, which while just a special I feel it showcases the nature of his character very well. Where one of Hiiro's nurses asks why he's attacking her, and he just says "Would giving you a reason make you feel better?"
There isn't a reason why he does what he does. Why he loves to fight, to hit, to kill. Asakura just is like this. And he revels in that. Using it as a salt to rub into the wounds of others. Multiple times too.
So off into the deeply unethical square he goes!!

Even deciding my top 3 is hard, but I’d have to say Ianthe, Harrowhark and Gideon
I think Ianthe is my very special favorite just because she’s so so funny. My awful and irredeemable babygirl <3
Harrowhark cause she is jsut constantly on the verge of death, a mental breakdown, or both. I also love the fact that a cheeto would kill her.
And Gideon because I’m in love with her, obvs. Her and Kiriona are the same to me, like she’s the same person but she’s just been dressed up by Jod.
Favourite Locked Tomb character? (Or top 3 if ur like me and can’t decide)
omg thank you so much for asking!!
definitely can't just choose one, top 3 is probably camilla, pyrrha and nona but that might just be recency bias since i finished nona not that long ago
i find it difficult to sort out my feelings about gideon and harrow because they change so much? like for me there's such a disconnect between harrow in gideon and harrow in harrow, and i still don't really understand kiriona tbh. i need a reread!
what about you???

Mind Controlled – The Series.
Part 4 – There’s no forgiveness.
Supercorp, Kara Danvers x Daughter!Reader, Lena Luthor x Daughter!Reader.
Word count: 2190.
Warning: Injuries, pain, angst.
Previously on the series - part 1, part 2, part 3
Kara lands in the backyard when the first ray of the sun hits the sky. You’re still glued to her, covered in blood, sweat and tears. Your throat hurts like you’ve been screaming for hours straight. Your mind feels lazy, like for some reason you’ve lost part of your brain function. There’s blood coming out of several parts of your body, and you don’t know how any of those bruises ended up on you.
“Water, please.” You beg, when Kara goes inside the house and she takes you to the kitchen, still carrying your floppy body everywhere. You look at the kitchen wall. Bricks exposed, dust and broken parts on the floor and you gasp at the image imprinted on the wall. “I hurt you.”
“No, baby.” Kara sits you on the stool. She grabs water and pours cereal into a bowl for you. You don’t move. You can’t take your eyes from the wall. “You know I have super strength. You didn’t hurt me.”
“But I tried to.” You drink the water, so your mind gets occupied with something. What have you done? “Where’s mom? Did I hurt her too?”
“Baby.” Kara goes to you, and holds your face, gently. “I know you don’t remember anything, but you have to believe me. You didn’t hurt a single soul, ok?” You want to agree, but it’s hard because you really don’t remember if it’s true. “Eat something. You really need to shower this blood off, and you need some sleep.”
“But-” You try to argue, but Kara doesn’t want to talk anymore. So you look to the floor, finding impossible to stare at the wall and the proof you’ve acted like a monster. “Oh my God.”
“What, baby?” Kara follows your eyes to the floor.
“Mom’s vase. I broke mom’s vase.” You get up from the stool, stumbling your way to the vase. You fall on the floor, collecting one of the pieces. “She loved this.”
“My love, it’s just a vase.” Kara makes her way to where you are, crouching next to you.
“But you brought as a gift from that time you went to Japan, and she… SHE LOVES THIS!” You cry, trying to collect every piece, bleeding on the porcelain. “She will never forgive me.”
“Baby, no, no.” Kara takes the broken pieces from your hands, and picks you up. “That’s enough of self-loathing, come on.” She sits on the stool again. “Eat, please.”
You do as she told you to. It doesn’t take long until you’re clean and wrapped up in blankets and Kara’s arms, and you fall into a turbulent, but still needed sleep.
When you wake up, it’s the middle of the afternoon. You make your way to the kitchen, feeling equally shitty on the outside, but at least you can stand up now. On the inside you feel worse, like you have done things so horrible your brain is refusing to let you remember them. It sits heavy on your stomach and on your heart. You hope to Rao you haven’t done something irredeemable.
You walk in the kitchen and look around. Kara already cleaned the vase, and even though the wall is still broken, she somehow managed to make it look less like her body-shape. There’s so much food waiting for you, it looks like Kara is trying to feed a Kryptonian army.
“Hey, baby. Got some rest?” Kara comes closer, and she grabs your hands, studying them for the marks there. She looks at the marks on your wrists, and even lifts your shirt to look at the raw flesh of your ribcage, to make sure your injuries are better. They are not. “You need sunlight.”
“Momma, I’m not a sunflower.” You huff, while Kara picks you up again, taking you to the backyard, to the table there.
“Yes, you are.” She jokes and you look up to her while pouting.
“You are a sunflower.” You cross your arms, making Kara laugh.
She comes back into the house to pick up the food, and a few seconds later most of the food is in front of you.
“Where’s mom?” You ask, looking around, and since you don’t have your glasses, you can use your x-ray vision. “You said I didn’t hurt her, so why isn’t she home yet?”
“You didn’t hurt anyone, but you broke some stuff.” Kara grabs one slice of pizza, and sits next to you. Your eyes grow bigger.
“Besides her vase?” You still can’t forgive yourself for that. Kara nods. “What else?”
“Your training center.” She sighs, and your eyes are filled with tears right away. “You burnt it, actually.”
“I’m so sorry!” You cover your face with your hands, feeling embarrassed and sad. You loved going there and practicing with aunt Alex and your momma. Why the hell did you do that for?
“It wasn’t you.” Kara pulls you into a hug, and kisses your forehead. “You didn’t want to do or say any of those things. We know, baby.”
“But-” You tried to argue, still not understanding.
“Baby, you were mind controlled.” Kara breathes out her answer. “You did things you didn’t mean to. Someone else was pulling the strings. None of that was inside of you, none of that was what you once thought or wanted to do, ok?”
“Is that why I don’t remember a thing about it?” You ask, confused. Kara agrees with her head, and you look down trying to think. That’s a good thing. To know none of that was inside of you, and to know you didn’t mean to do any of that. But still, somebody used your body and your memories to hurt the ones you loved and the places you love, so that is terrifying. You look up to her again. “Someone, who?”
“Lex.” Kara lets out and you agree with your head, not wanting to hear anything else.
Ok, so you didn’t physically hurt anyone, but you know Lex (or at least his reputation), so you know that he probably found other ways to hurt people. And Lena, poor Lena, was probably his first choice for that, because he genuinely hates her.
You really want to apologize, so you can’t wait until Lena to get home for you to do so. But she doesn’t come. You wait and wait, but Lena never arrives. You probably screwed up with her big time.
Kara keeps reassuring you that you didn’t, that none of it it’s your fault, but it can’t be true. So, one day Lex mind controls you to beat up your momma, destroy important places to you, and you’re supposed to believe this has nothing to do with Lena not coming home to you?
You wake up before Kara does, and you go to the kitchen to make her breakfast, so you can somehow apologize for whatever it is that happened on the day and night before. You make her all of her favorites, and leave a note under a flower on the counter for when she wakes up.
You are the sunflower.
You don’t wait for her to wake up, though. Your heart has been desperate for hours wanting to see your mom and have her forgiveness and feel her comfort. There’s nothing more comforting in the world than Lena’s hands on your hair while you place your head on her lap.
You listen to her heartbeat, and you go to her. You land on Lena’s balcony at L Corp, looking inside to where she is sitting on the couch. You also notice other things: Her overnight bag pushed to the side, untouched food in front of her, her red eyes and puffy cheeks. It breaks your heart all the more.
“Mom.” You go to her, kneeling on the floor in front of her and placing your head on her lap. “Please, forgive me. Please.”
“Come on, baby, stand up.” Lena tries to hold your hand, but you settle on her lap, weeping mercifully.
“I don’t know what I said, or did, but I know I’ve hurt you. Please, please, forgive me.” You ask between the tears and the cracks in your voice. Lena’s hands go to your head. “I’m so sorry for everything.”
“It wasn’t you.” Lena strokes your hair, gently. “It was Lex mind controlling you. Babygirl, I’m not angry. Everything is ok.”
You lift your head so you can look at her. Lena gives you a sad little smile, while cleaning the tears on your face.
“But-but you’re here.” You look around. “You’re not home, because you can’t be around me anymore.”
“What? Baby, no!” Lena holds your arms gently, making you stand and sit next to her. She gives you a comforting hug, that feels too nice to be fake. And cups your face, right after. “This has nothing to do with you. Do you hear me?”
“I don’t understand.” You furrow your brows, looking scared and lost. “You’re sleeping in your office at L Corp right after I was turned into a monster. How can this have nothing to do with me?”
“Babygirl, do you trust me?” Lena asks. Her eyes flicker, anxiously, studying your face, like she’s afraid of your answer.
“More than myself.” It’s your most truthful sentence. She gives you a soft smile.
“Then believe me when I tell you, I’m not mad at you, and I’m not here because I can’t be around you.” She strokes your cheeks with her thumbs. “I love you more than anything, and I’m very, extremely, deeply happy that my baby is back.”
“I am.” You repeat, agreeing with your head. “Then, please come back home.”
“I can’t.” She kisses your forehead, and then lets go of your face. “Not now, anyways.”
“Mom.” You try, but she shakes her head like she’s telling you to stop this conversation.
“Please, have breakfast with me?” She asks turning to the food before you, and even though you already ate, you refuse to say no and let her eat alone.
When you’re finished eating, and you see that Lena actually ate something, you decide to pick the subject back again.
“Mom, I know I was mind controlled, but, um, I need to make sure I didn’t physically hurt you or said anything too painful.” She looks at you, pointing at herself, like she’s saying that she’s not hurt. “Right. And the second part?”
“Baby, I told you. The things you said? All Lex.” She kisses your forehead again. “Stop worrying.” You wish it was that simple. That you could just simply stop worrying, but you look at her face, you see the sadness in her eyes, and you know you would do anything to make her happy again.
Your phone starts ringing and she looks at it, reading the name in it.
“Answer it, so Kara doesn’t worry about you.” She says, and you furrow your brows.
Kara. Heart beating fast. Breath stuck in her lungs.
“Hey, momma.”
“Kid, where are you? You made all this breakfast and left me here to eat alone?”
“Came to check upon mom.”
“Oh, um, right. How-How is Lena?”
Lena. Choking on her words. Dear Rao. This isn’t about you at all.
“Sleeping at her office, so not great.”
Lena raises an eyebrow at you, and you hear Kara sucking on air.
“You guys want to tell me something?” You ask on the phone while looking at Lena.
“We’ll talk when you get home.” You hear Kara’s voice, and then the dial tone. You lower your phone and keep waiting for Lena’s response.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Lena says, holding your hands, and stroking your bruises lightly. “This is between me and your momma only, ok?”
“Mom, please, come home. Whatever it is, you two need to talk.” You ask, and she shakes her head in denial.
“Please baby. Let’s not talk about it.” Even though she added the ‘please’ you know it’s not a request. You know your mom, and you can see it on her face that you better drop the subject right now, or you will make things worse.
So, it seems that none of your moms are mad at you, or sad about the things you’ve said and done. It looks like it has nothing to do with you, and it’s a fight between them.
Alex also doesn’t seem to care, when you see her in the middle of the week, she just smiles and waves at you. She doesn’t even want to listen to your apology, she just cuts you off with a “kiddo, save that apology for a time you do this with your worst intentions. This wasn’t your fault, so I don’t need no apology.”
And you wish that could go into your brain and make you forgive yourself for the things that you know, now, you’ve done. But there’s still exposed bricks on your kitchen wall, there’s still no place for you to practice, and there’s still no Lena in your house. And as the week goes on and on, and you don’t know if she’ll ever come back, there’s no forgiveness you can give to yourself.
