Tangerine

For anyone who’s reading The Art of Redemption and wants to know what she looks like…

Her Royal Highness Tangerine Pavlenko, Queen of Everything

Tangerine: Never fear, citizens. I will keep the neighbourhood safe from dogs, mice and annoying delivery people.

Tangerine: I demand you pick me up, loyal human. I must go wherever you go so that we can shower each other with affection at all times.

A happy man and his cat

Tangerine: This is my human, and no one is entitled to his attention but me. Go find your own!

Tangerine: Look how smart he is. I taught him this secret handshake. Good boy! Who’s a good human? You are!

its very fun to have a name you only use around other trans people u can be weird with it and other weird people will think youre cool. the other night at machine girl show i introduced myself as apricot and this cute girl said that ofc because i was a fruit it was very silly. downsides of this of course are that the normie trans name u chose circa 2015 that ur worksona uses becomes as weird to hear in casual context as ur birthname. actually weirder

Was no one gonna tell me Yakuza slaps or did have to find this out myself

[fruityinnit]

@lemontart asked: ❛ why the hell are you out here by yourself? ❜ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

tangerine had not asked for the necklace back.

he had not thought to change clothes, or wash away the blood. he had not done terribly more than pick the glass from his knuckles. and he had not bothered to argue— had not bothered with half a word to lemon, as they trudged back to their rented room, stinking of burnt metal and antiseptic. it was all fine, 'course it was. he ought to be fucking grateful.

❝ fuck off! ❞

the swift kick he delivers to the vending machine satisfies, somewhat. after the monumental shitshow this job turned out to be — it's the fucking fish crackers, of course — stuck in the vending machine spring. tangerine worries at the cig stub burning his fingers, pacing the sidewalk in front of the motel. the taste is cheap, acrid, stale — stuck to his teeth with the blood.

❛ why the hell are you out here by yourself? ❜ comes lemon's voice, almost too quiet to hear— against the ringing. all the fucking ringing— the shoddy stitching in his neck itches, the inside of his head burns, rings, fumes. but the machine? well, the machine chirps a perky little jingle, doesn’t it?

it should be easier, the shutting it all off— it should be easier, to look without seeing the tangle of bodies piled in the bathroom—

❝ … machine pilfered my fucking biscuits, ❞ tangerine sniffs, swipes at the dry blood under his nose; ❝ — pissed away my last ten-thousand yen, thanks to the dickhead in the paddington hat. cosmic fuckin' laugh, that is. 'f i see him again, lemon, i'm ripping out his fucking teeth. ❞ hope he thoroughly enjoyed his fucking fizzy water. christsake, when any of it, the briefcase, keeping all their fingers and arms, anything, mattered.

tangerine hunches over with a scowl; ❝ i’m meditatin’, if you must know. you're interrupting my quiet fuckin' contemplation. ❞ nothing quiet to it; his eyes sting, he feels like punctured paper, like something flimsy and utterly fallible.

❝ — that shrink you set me up with. miss brenda, innit? ❞ — belinda, or bernadette, or bridget? surely. ❝ —fuck’s sake, what’s the nice lady's name, lemon? ❞ he motions vaguely, like the thought is coming to him. bang, the abused machine shakes on its hinges again. ❝ — she said i ought to practice some 'mindful thinking' in this kind of situation. i don’t know what the fuck that’s supposed to help. ❞ 

he turns to lemon, and tangerine suddenly thinks, if he stops talking, he might be sick. he might find himself in that traincar again. ( the blood on his hands, it wasn't lemon's. lemon doesn't bleed. ) he ought to be grateful. he ought to be fucking grateful, but—

just like that. worse than bolivia. worse than fucking anything. like having his guts strewn out for everyone to see. just where was he meant to put all of it? was he meant to box it up, tie it in a pretty bow? there would be another god awful job to do tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. fine, it was all fucking fine. nothing else fucking mattered, and it was all absolutely fine.

tangerine sniffs, then barks a sort of bizarre, hysterical laugh; ❝ what the fuck, ❞ he echoes, ❝ —is mindful, ❞ heel slams the machine again, sends it tipping off-balance momentarily. ❝ fucking, ❞  bang! ❝ —thinking! fuck! ❞ crack. the glass splinters against his bare fist, the neon light flickers, and the sound distorts for but a moment. fingers, bloodied anew come up to curl and dig at his skull.

finally, tangerine goes quiet, loses sight of it, maybe. the rage, the white-hot touch of grief. ❝ … did you even fucking think — what the fuck was i meant to do without you? ❞

The Tangerine Machine @ Heavy NFLD Fest 2024 (The Rockhouse) - 07/19/2024

[tangerine22]

the time machine by h.g. wells but what he doesn't realize is that's just london that's Like That in the future. the rest of the world is normal.

[inklore]

if it's one thing your girl is great at it's making a million different google docs full of lists full of resources, ideas, etc that will help future me when it comes to posting fics.

fic titles are literally one of the biggest lists i have and not even in a perfect world where i write ten fics a day would i ever be able to use all of these, and i don't like to see things go to waste, and i know there's people out there that struggle with titles as much as i do. so i hope this list comes in handy for someone!

i don't think i need to say this but just in case: no one owns fic titles, anyone can use these, a dozen people or one or none. these are literally just words and letters. no one owns them. sharing is caring, enjoy lovies!
