🪞 - to catch my muse trying to compose themselves in front of a mirror .

Marie had always been fully aware of what she was capable of. She did not strive to be more powerful; she had a very distinct purpose and that purpose was fulfilling in and of itself. But there were times when elements out of her control interfered with her work.

Today, she had received news of the worst sort. In the form of a thank you card, one Mr. Gregory Thatch had informed her that his wife had been struck by an impaired driver on her morning commute a few days prior. She had not survived, nor had their baby. He went on to thank Marie for everything she had done for them, for giving them the chance to make a family, and that though he would never meet his daughter, ‘at least he had been able to feel her kicks’.

Her patients did not die frequently, but Marie was a soft, empathetic goddess and her heart broke for lives she couldn’t save. It was a small comfort that mother and child were together and that she knew what awaited them after death. They were in good hands.

She was gasping over the sink in her office’s powder room when she caught Genesis’ reflection in the mirror and she waved her fingers in front of her eyes, cleaning up the mascara that only smudged at her lash line

“I’m sorry,” she breathed, knuckles white as she gripped the brass sink, head lowered, desperate to find her composure. She had a client in ten minutes.

Had he seen the contents of the card on her desk? Did he grieve for mortals as well or would he be like so many of the others, hardened and superior?

“I’ve always been a crybaby,” she told him, breathing deeply and focusing on fixing her makeup again. Maybe if she made light of herself, he wouldn’t scold her for getting attached.

[utlarmgsuna]

Midoriya Izuku is, and I say this with all the parental love I have for him, a true crycon.

[fwips]

matching crycons for u n the love of ur life who ended up being a clone and the only reason u found out was bcuz he started to love u back and u were so used to your unrequited love u knew instantly it meant he wasn’t actually the man u loved but this version of him loves you back and you wanted to feel what it was like to have him to yourself for just a little while longer so you kept it a secret so he could also feel what it was like to be cared about bcuz its not his fault he’s a clone it wouldn’t have been fair to cast him out as a villain when all he did was exist believing he was himself, but now he loves you and you love the man you thought he was and want to pretend its the real thing bcuz its the closest you’ve convinced yourself you’ll ever get but he’s a clone of the man u loved so of course the minute he finds out he’s a clone created by the enemy he volunteers to leave to protect everyone and so now he’s leaving you again and every single part of you knows why but it hurts worse this time because this time you know he’s still leaving despite loving you

So I'm going to be traveling a lot over the next month or two. And rather than live my days in boredom in my hotel room, I thought I'd be social.

Eyes, Lamps, Selfies, Shoes...

We're getting so personal with each other! I love it!

But seriously, a lot of us have shown our faces, whats next? A big meet-up somewhere?

(By that, I mean Crycon, yes)

Recently, I've been rattling around my MarsFic in my head again, called the Cryto Conspiracy (#crycon). So, as a little treat, take some concepts for the Domes

The Martian Domes are Earth's big attempt to colonize the red planet. After small-scale attempts at colonization by various companies, the Marages Cosmos Construction Firm began construction, starting with the Alpha Dome. During the time of Cryto Conspiracy, 300+ earthen years later, the Tau Dome has just been completed.

The beginning of the Cryto Conspiracy takes place in the Gamma Dome, one of the smallest and the third-oldest of the domes. Compared to the large, 10 million or more person domes, the Gamma Dome only hosts a maximum of 75,000 people. It's settled into a large crater near the Echus Chasma and is west of the Lambda Dome. It's very much got this dynamic of the societal elite living higher up, literally, with the non-citizen Extraneous living on the actual Martian surface. There's this interesting societal quirk where the red Martian soil is seen as dirty or cheap, while if you can afford to create Earth-like gardens with rich, dark soil, you're richer than rich.

Generally, the society is pretty high tech, with towering building. The tallest, not just in the Gamma Dome but in all of the Domes, is The Spire. It supports the center of the dome, and is the home of the central government of each Dome.
