#YOU CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

Okay but wouldn't it be hilarious if Callie went to intern!Lena about being gay. Like "sooooooo.... how did you know you liked girls? Like. In a gay way."

And Lena kinda looks at her with a cocked eyebrow, clearly bemused. "I wanted to make my girlfriend come so hard she saw stars. Never had a single shred of desire to do the same for a man."

Lena snaps the chart in her hands shut, and turns more fully towards Callie. "I don't suppose this has anything to do with Dr Hahn?"

"What?!" Callie exclaims, scoffing dramatically. "No. Why would you think that?"

"Oh please," Lena drawls. "You two have been flirting around each other for months."

"What-- no we haven't! Wait... two? You mean... Erica's gay?"

Lena rolls her eyes.

"How do you know?"

"Support group," Lena drawls laconically.

Callie blinks. "You all have a support group?"

"Oh, yeah," Lena croons, "we meet every full moon for a monthly orgy."

Callie flushes. "I didn't mean..."

"I know what you meant," Lena says, softening a little. She steps a little bit closer, lowering her voice. "Look. You two like each other. As friends, at the very least. That's a good place to start. Just... tell her how you feel, and see if she wants to try things out."

Uncertainty steals over Callie at the thought. "But..."

Lena tilts her head. "But what? What's the worst that could happen?"

"She thinks I'm insane. Or a creep trying to take advantage of our friendship--"

"Don't do that," Lena says sharply. "Don't do Hahn the disservice of assuming that will be her default reaction. You know her better than that. She knows *you* better than that."

Callie looks at her. "You think?"

"Would you be attracted to her if you didn't?"

Finally, Callie's anxiety eases. She sighs, and some of the tension bleeds away. "No."

"Give yourselves both the benefit of being honest," Lena says, taking a step back. She shrugs. "Who knows... you might just find some happiness at the end of the rainbow."

Callie watches Lena depart, and catches the way Lexie joins her with a bump of the shoulder. When they turn the next corner, Callie spots Erica in the corridor beyond, talking to Bailey.

The nerves return swiftly, only to spike even further when Hahn's gaze lifts and meets Callie's. The smile Callie offers is thin and hesitant, but Erica's answering grin of acknowledgement is bright.

When Bailey takes her leave, Erica makes her way to Callie. "Joe's tonight?" she asks.

Callie almost declines, but the echo of Lena's rarely soft voice changes her mind at the last second. "Sure."

"Want me to see if Sloan wants to join?"

"No," Callie blurts sharply. "No. There's, uh.... There's actually something I wanted to talk to you about, later. After shift."

Erica nods. "Okay. I look forward to it. See you then."

And then she moves on, leaving Callie feeling like a deer in the headlights. What the hell is she doing? But then she sees Lena and Lexie in her minds eye, and where before she had seen something cute, adorable like watching two kids marry on the playground, she sees something she suddenly wants for herself.

There's only one question that niggles at Callie as the day descends into evening, and the chaos of the OR turns into a raucous evening at Joe's. While waiting for Erica, Callie flags Lena's attention on her way to the bar.

"So, did you?" Callie asks.

Lena shoots her a wry glance. "Did I what?"

"Make her see stars?"

It takes a moment for the reference to click, and when it does Lena's lips twist into the smuggest of smirks.

"Every single time."

Rook, holding Lucanis' face, forcing him to look her in the eyes when he loses himself and cums inside of her...

Lucanis, so overwhelmed by how much he loves Rook, unable to resist himself when he's deep inside of her, falling deeper in love with her when all he sees is her eyes when he lets go of himself...

Everytime I read fics where Soukoku do something utterly idiotic things, even if I love those, my brain always goes - C'mon, they're not that bad 😅

But then i read the latest Chapter and I'm like - Okay, they are totally nutcase

Because, wtf is this 🤣🤣🤣

They both maybe genius, shrewd, master manipulators and what not.

But when they are together, they lose alll their brain cells...

I think the bros are both equally protective of each other but in different ways

Like Martin is the "use my body as a shield" kind of protective while Chris is a "punch first questions later" type of protective yk?

Not surprised with the lack of melanin coming from hoyo with the new natlan characters lol

Now tell me why Simeon, who is a freaking angel (spoilers: well not anymore) from Obey Me, which is originally a dating sim has an actual dark brown skin tone compared to the majority of the genshin cast where it's supposedly inspired by cultures or cities with a lot of dark or tan skinned people. Skin Representation IS IMPORTANT 🤗 cause look at this:

I have a beef with solmare especially with how many dumbass decisions they've made but I'll give them credit where credit's due

Guess I've glazed twst a lot when it comes to character designs but damn at least they TRY to be somewhat accurate and at least HAVE more than 1 characters with REAL MELANIN (I think they should give these characters even darker skin tone ngl but it's better than whatever genshin was trying to do with their playable characters ig) 😭 I know it's not a perfect game as it has problems and flaws (Whoever approved of Leona's whitewashed liongarb groovy card I will haunt you, especially since the cloud calling festival event is happening in english server) but you can see the creators actually try to properly portray representation in-game unlike SOME COMPANY

Exhibit A:

Anyway twst >>> hyv game designs
