“lipstick” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 280 words
“You lying, cheating bastard!” Regulus yells from down the hall.
“What did you do?” Remus asks.
“Probably nothing.” James shrugs as Regulus storms into the kitchen.
“Probably nothing!?” Regulus yells. “Care to explain what this is?” He throws a shirt at James.
“The shirt I wore last night.” James says casually.
“Right. And why are there lipstick marks and mascara streaks on the collar?” Still yelling as he rips the shirt back out of James’ hands.
James points behind Regulus to a hungover Sirius who’s passed out at the kitchen table with smeared lipstick and mascara on his face.
“Right. That makes sense. Thank you.” He says sternly and stomps back out of the kitchen muttering something about ‘oil based’ and ‘a bitch to clean.’
“What was that?” Remus asks with wide eyes.
“Healthy communication.” James says with another shrug.
“That was healthy?”
“Oh yeah, normally he shuts down, won’t talk to me for days and often locks me out of the bedroom without telling me what’s wrong.” James starts telling him as Regulus walks back into the kitchen looking for something under the sink. “Plus, he knows I’d never actually cheat, probably just needed a bit of reassurance and this way he can ask without feeling too vulnerable.” He finishes as Regulus stands up.
“And you like it when I’m a little mean to you.” He tells James and kisses him on the cheek.
“And that.” James says as Regulus gives Remus a pointed ‘so there’ look and saunters out of the kitchen again.
“God, he’s dramatic.” Remus mumbles.
“Mooooonnnnyyyy!! My head huuuurrrts!!!” Sirius whines from the table and James raises an eyebrow at Remus.
“What? I didn’t say mine wasn’t dramatic.”

The parallel between these two scenes is heart breaking to me but oh so so loud in their meaning.
In the first one we have Colin fully dressed waiting patiently fuming as Penelope is not dressed yet. She’s vulnerable and he has his shield up. He has the upper hand. He leaves her. She stays behind hurt.
In the second one the roles are reversed. She’s fully dressed, ready for the day. He’s in what looks like his yesterday’s clothes. She is in action while he’s paralysed and not moving. She leaves him this time around.
But really it’s more than that. It’s the fact that by the second scene she is on her way to become her fully actualised self. She’s more self assured, less scared. She is moving ahead, physically and figuratively. He’s still rooted in one place, in his anger, his hurt and his trauma.
These two scenes mirror each other, but they’re also so different in the relationship dynamic. The first one is anger and hurt and Colin sees LW. The second one is a crossroad. Colin either stays rooted in place and looses Pen or he moves and have to come to the acceptance that the person he vowed to destroy is in fact the person he vowed to protect and there is no separation between the two.

Y'all ever get emotional when you think about Eddie having a breakdown and telling Buck he's afraid he'll never feel normal again but he's made so much progress that in season 7 so far we've seen him laughing, cracking jokes, making silly faces, dancing and simply GLOWING with happiness??? Because I do 😭😭😭😭

Bakely’s cheeks puff and her eyes grow big. Her palm closes into a gentle fist, cradling Sun’s message close to her pulse. “So, it was okay?”
Sun makes a show of looking around for anyone overhearing, then leans in close and makes a pinching motion with his thumb and index finger. “A little.”

Let’s be delusional for a sec.
When Azula re-enters the temple the first "person" to appear is Ty Lee then they fight blah blah blah... but then the spirit reappears and says, "I’m trying to find out what you want". The next attempt is Ursa telling her she’s proud of her.
What I mean is that the first thing the spirit tries to do to make Azula happy is to bring Ty Lee.
(Plus Azula not wanting to kill her should count as something)

Karai: Aw man, I could kill for some ramen
Raph: As I hate to admit it, I’d also could go for some right now
Titan: *pops out of nowhere* The only thing that you will be killing will be my patience. Stay away from my brothers
Karai: Ah Titan, I didn’t see you there. How’s my favorite twin brother doing?
Titan: Oh sweet mother of pizza— *hurls*
Karai: *pats his back* Love you too, bro
——————————————
April: So you see, I have this boy problem
Titan & Karai: (insync) Have tried murder?
Titan & Karai: *look at each other in surprise*
Titan: Oh you GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
Karai: Twin telepathy—
Titan: Die
——————————
Karai: So this is my girlfriend Shini
Titan: Oh thank mother of pizza, you’re gay.
Karai: That…you know what that’s not the weridest reaction I’ve had today so I’ll take it.
——————————-
If there's one thing Titan likes about this Karai, it's that there will be no Hiroto.

Pac knows that hes hopelessly in love with Fit. He even talks about it with people he trusts the most. And he knows that Fit is flirting with him. But he also had crippling low self esteem and horrible self worth issues so he cant believe that Fit really means the flirting. Because why would someone like Fit like him like that? It has to be just a joke to Fit right? But sometimes he allows himself to hope even though he knows that it will just hurt him in the end. And maybe there is a tiny chance he actually feels the same? But Pac is also scared. Scared of being hurt, scared of scaring Fit off and scared of losing Fit like he loses everyone else.
Fit also knows deep down that he is absolutely and irrevocably in love with Pac. But he is not ready to even fully admit it to himself yet. And maybe deep down he knows that Pac feels the same but if he totally lets that thought in he might have a panic attack. He doesnt know how to do this. Any of this. He is still struggeling with trusting people with basic things. And there are so many reasons why he cant do this. He has a mission, he needs to protect his son and he could not live with himself if he got Pac into his mess and was the reason Pac got hurt. He is so scared of fucking things up in one was or another. And then there is also the internalized homophobia part of course.
