#WOUNDS BUT MINE’S STILL BLACK AND BRUISED

[everythingseasoning]

Crying (oh god)

(Also, Conan’s lyrics and the way his music hits the knife right thru the heart—)

Mid-November, and I'm sippin' on a half-cold coffee

[hauntedkeys]

You know the breakup is going bad when whenever you think of them too hard The Exit by Conan Gray starts playing in your mind

[autisticlenaluthor]

rip lena luthor, you would've loved screaming the bridge to The Exit by Conan Gray after the fight with kara in the fortress

[soup-scope]

the exit by conan gray gives such strong fred and bright eyes vibes

[idontliketomatoesleavemealone]

hmmm it is Tigris+Coryo Thoughts Hour

[killjoygem]

I think the doctor is happy in some ways to know the truth about her history and feels that it coming up was the right thing to happen— and I think the master wishes more than anything that he had never found this information in the first place. I think if given the chance to go back and just never know he would take it

And I think the fact that the doctor embraced her history made the master hate her even more. How dare she be so okay with this when it literally ruined him.

I've already answered question 24 here :)

25. you can spend one day with a character of your choosing. who are they and what are you doing together? (does not necessarily need to be your #1 fave)

hmm maybe someone like Magnus? I feel like a day hanging out with him is guaranteed to be fun & memorable, doesn't really matter what we do. plus he's friends with so many people it probably wouldn't be just us so 👀 the more the merrier yeah?

19. tell me about your favourite sibling set and what you love about them.

Gideon and Gabriel Lightwood :) I love them both separately and their dynamic together. I think it's a lot more complicated than many siblings relationships just due to their upbringing & very different relationships they have with their father (& and mother in a way). They do love each other and care but that gets lost in the mess that is their family. Its just so interesting & there's a lot of storytelling potential there, especially with Tatiana in the mix (I'll always be a little bitter how none of it was really touched on in tlh tbh)

feel free to send me more

[doomedbythe-narrative]

The exit is so shinichi shio core but like platonically you know

[the-littlest-laney]

feels like we had matching wounds but mine’s still still black and bruised and yours is perfectly fine

i am so normal about lucy frostblade and kristen and how they were like ships in the night from each other and by the time kristen got to know her it was too late. IM SO NORMAL

[navysealt4t]

i relate to this song in such an explicitly transgender way. btw.

@shreysheep

"Feels like we have matching wounds, but mine's still black and bruised, and yours is perfectly fine now..."

[witherby]

do you think that the batfam has different ways of explaining their bruises/injuries they get from crimefighting to an observant mouse? 👼👼👼

--🎆

Fantastic question! I think growing up in Wayne Manor would make it exceptionally difficult to hide the vigilantism from you. They could 100% do it, but it would take about a thousand times more effort concealing it from you than the general public, so I don't think they would.

You're very young when you start really piecing it together, though, so they're gonna have to tell you what happened in child-friendly ways.

The Littlest Wayne: Post-Battle Injuries

1. Bruce

"Wha' happen, daddy?"

This man is not a good liar, but he dodges the truth like it's an Olympic sport. Like any public figure worth their salt, he's gonna answer the question without answering the question.

"Well, when Daddy has to go be Batman, sometimes he gets hurt. The boo-boos will go away after a while, and everything is going to be fine. You'll have to hug gently for a few days."

What he doesn't say is that he took a toyota corolla pushing 70 to the ribs and can feel the broken bones shifting and rubbing together like wet chopsticks under his skin, it's fucking nauseating, and he needs to go pass out as soon as he puts you down for a nap.

2. Dick

"Uh-oh, Dinky hurty?"

If Bruce is admired for keeping his cool in the wake of grievous injury, then Dick wrote the fucking book on it. His picture shows up when you google "gaslight gatekeep girlboss." He could lose a limb and convince you it's always been like that with a straight face. You'll never catch his ass lacking.

"Dinky fell down," he says easily, scooping you into his arms, "but he's fine! See? All okay!" His face doesn't even twitch from all his wounds getting aggravated. There is shrapnel embedded in his back from being thrown through a window and tumbling down the roof. The broken-off blade of a knife is jammed up in his thigh. His right hand has lost all feeling in it from blocking a pipe getting swung at him. There are black spots in his vision. He's lost so much blood it's nothing short of divine intervention keeping him conscious.

You'd bet your ass if you need him to go sprint a 10k right now, though, he's lacing up his tennis shoes.

3. Tim

"Timmy, what wrong?"

He's gonna tell you the truth, and he's the only one that'll tell you the truth. He'll just omit the gorey bits because they're not beneficial to you.

"Oh, this? Bad guy got me good with his knife. It hurts a lot so don't touch it... I just said don't touch it...okay fine, go wash your hands first before you touch it."

He didn't like being kept out of the loop as a child, especially a child that had to raise himself, so he tells you about anything and everything you ask. He'll tell you what medical supplies he's grabbing and why. He'll tell you his estimated recovery time. He'll tell you what wounds the others have, if any. He'll let you touch the safe tools, like gauze and bandages and antibiotic ointment. He'll show you how to apply them, too, and then quickly take you to the sink to wash the blood from your hands.

4. Jason

"Jay-Jay ouchies?"

He's the most unintentionally awkward about it. I think being brought back to life in the Lazarus Pit really fucked up his ability to feel pain. The major injuries still sting — gunshots, stabs, broken bones — but bruises and black eyes and sprains fly under the radar very often.

"Uh, no," he shrugs, looking at the myriad of colorful bruising you just pointed out on his arm. "No ouchies." He's not exactly lying, it doesn't hurt, but it is very clearly an injury. This confuses and upsets you often.

5. Damian

"Dami got a booboo?"

He's lying every single time. He's your older brother. He's a dangerous killing machine. His skill and combat prowess are unmatched. He needs you to think he's incredible and amazing and cool.

"Those half-wit simpletons could never dream of landing a hit on me. Any blood on my clothes is simply not mine."

One of the goons actually clipped his side with a bullet and it really, really hurts. His hands are flexing and he's got sweat running down his neck from the pain. He would actually rather die than let you know that, though.

(this part of The Exit by Conan Grey fit Jon/Tim so well)
