@duquete sent "i think it took a lot of guts for you to do what you did back there. [ for miguel diaz! ]"
this wasn't supposed to happen. miguel was feeling a lot better, he had been working hard with the physical therapist and sensei lawrence. it felt like his body betrayed him. why did his leg give up on him? miguel wasn't surprised to see sensei duquette in the room, he was open about his own medical struggles and how he spent a long time in and out of hospitals waiting for a new heart. miguel rolled his eyes at the declaration. "guts? that wasn't guts! that was my stupid leg turning on me," he said, looking at the leg that was now resting on a pillow to keep it elevated. "now what do i do?" he asked. "there's no transplant for a new leg."

†  ――――    DAWN'S  WHOLE  LIFE  SHE'S  ONLY  BEEN  TREATED  AS  A  LITTLE  GIRL  THAT  DIDN'T  KNOW  HOW  TO  HANDLE  HERSELF.  dawn  hated  being  treated  this  way.  she  grew  up  with  a  big  sister  that  was  a  vampire  slayer,  always  being  trusted  into  dangerous  situations,  and  she  was  a  damn  supernatural  key  that  opened  up  hell  dimensions!!  why  did  everyone  think  she  couldn't  handle  herself?  that  she  couldn't  protect  herself?  it  was  getting  tiresome  and  now  all  dawn  has  set  out  to  do  was  prove  to  everyone  that  they  were  wrong.  one  of  her  friends  was  in  danger,  some  vampires   kidnapping  her  and  trying  to  entice  the  slayer  to  come  out  and  save  her;  lame,  like  she  hasn't  seen  this  one  play  out  before.  buffy  was  out,  though,  patrolling,  and  there  was  no  time  for  dawn  to  wait  around  and  see  if  her  friend  would  be  kept  alive  and  unharmed.  she  could  do  this  herself,  she  had  to;  this  was  her  chance.

if there was one thing that mabel was able to do, it was try to make a little lighter of the sorts of situations that she managed to get herself in. shrugging her shoulders, she was quick to offer her own insight to the choices that she made. "i take in clowns like a one-woman circus."

@duquete liked for a starter
the older kids hang out at mister duquette's bar and grill sometimes. well, all the time. don't worry, though, it's not like this is one of those 'ooooh i want to be like the cool kids' things if only because she, decidedly, doesn't have the energy for that.
quite frankly, lia finds she doesn't have energy for much these days.
(though lia has always had a healthy dose of admiration and appreciation for yasmine, moon, sam and aisha).
when the owner finds her, squirreled away in a booth at the back, because of course he does, she shakes her head and presses a finger against her lips, whispering: "please pretend i'm not here. i'm hiding."

@duquete sent from dennison duquette jr to rebekah mikaelson : i'm pretty sure you said that to me last time.

⚰️  ――――         REBEKAH  THOUGHT  HE  WAS  SO  HANDSOME,  SHE  COULDN'T  STOP  STARING  INTO  HIS  EYES.  she  knew  she  wasn't  the  most  trustworthy  person  on  the  planet,  but  when  she  had  feelings  for  someone,  she  became  ride  or  die.  and  she  began  to  feel  her  heart  swell  for  the  man.  she  was  hopeless  when  it  came  to  romance,  but  she  swears  it's  different  this  time.  she  moved  over  to  sit  on  his  lap,  arms  wrapped  around  his  neck  as  she  smiled  sweetly  at  dennison,        ❛      oh  come  on,  don't  be  like  that,  luv,  don't  you  trust  me    ?      ❜      she  replied  to  him,  nuzzling  her  face  into  his  neck  and  began  to  plant  soft  kisses  across  his  neck,  feeling  his  heart  pulsating  against  her  lips.  she  brought  her  face  back  up  to  look  into  those  eyes  she  seemed  to  grow  weak  for,        ❛      i  swear  it.  once  we  find  the  cure,  i'll  be  all  yours.  we  can  finally  be  together,  isn't  that  what  you've  been  wanting      ?      ❜     she  asked  him,  crawling  off  his  lap  to  stand  in  front  of  him.  she  bends  down  to  become  eye  level  with  dennison,  staring  into  his  eyes.  the  desire  to  compel  him  to  trust  her  was  strong,  but  she  wanted  their  relationship  to  be  pure,  not  manipulated.  it  would  make  things  easier  in  the  long  run   [   .  .  .  .   ]   she  fought  the  urge,  nonetheless.  her  hand  caresses  his  cheek,         ❛      it's  simple,  my  luv,  i  know  that  dreadful  elena  is  connected  to  it  somehow  and  m'  sure  the  salvatore  brothers  are  helping  her  hide  it.  we  find  them,  we  find  the  cure.      ❜

hanging around hospital emergency rooms wasn't her favourite past time –– though, it was becoming an increasingly important part of her job. cleaning up loose ends, getting stories straight. it was all a part of being the right hand woman to some of the most dangerous people in the city. "you know how long the wait is in here?" she asked, head turning to the other. she'd been sat for an hour already, and still the individual she was there to babysit hadn't been seen by anyone.

what the fuck happened to you?
Tumblr media
🧟 ―――― DARYL WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT HE WAS DEFINITELY ALONE IN THIS DESERTED TOWN. he hasn't seen another living soul in weeks, maybe even months, and has only had unfortunate encounters with the living dead. he had gotten quite used to it over the course of time. he had been separated from rick and the rest of the group for longer than he'd like but it's been a hard guessing game of trying to find them. there had been no signs of their living existence and he was close to giving up; throwing in the towel for humanity itself. what was the point anymore when you lost your whole family, the only family you had left in this sorry world?
Tumblr media
DARYL HAD SPUN AROUND WHEN HE HEARD A STRANGER'S VOICE SPEAK FROM BEHIND HIM. he certainly didn't expect to see @duquete there, let alone someone alive at all. he was covered in dirt and dried blood, his hair slicked back with his sweat and his clothes torn enough that you could seen the flesh they were meant to hide. daryl dragged his hand across his forehead and looked at the other man up and down, surveying if he posed a threat, all the while using his other hand to keep hold of his gun that was safely tucked in his back pocket. “ life. what the hell else you think happen ? ” he responded with sarcasm dripping from his tone. he was all about no nonsense right now. since being secluded from the living for so long, it's caused daryl to be extra wary of any strangers he could potentially run into. “ where the hell you come from, anyway ? ” he asked. he asked because he hadn't heard any kind of warning sign of life before he showed up but then again, daryl had let his guard down. comes with being alone for so long.

with a tray in hands, the redhead turned into denny's hospital room with a bright smile on her face. "maple syrup, coffee ––" decaf and regular, because she was nothing if not fully prepared, "–– pancakes for two." april confirmed, carefully placing the assortment of goodies carefully on the nearby table.

long gone were the days at tech town where he'd make people feel good about themselves by pretending his password was as bad as theirs while convincing himself that they practically wanted their stuff to get stolen or hacked with a password like that. he could be himself with denny and that person was judgemental.
if he wanted to robby could easily take it when the guy wasn't looking and pawn it off on some idiot with a couple of fifties just like he used to, maybe even a couple of hundreds this time provided he played his cards right, he wouldn't even need trey or cruz, he could start his old plays up all on his own. denny doesn't even seem to care if it was stolen. what was the worst thing that could happen? he could betray his carer's trust and become a person who he hates- wait. tic tacs?

@duquete sent from dennison duquette jr to katherine pierce : "i thought you promised to behave."
Tumblr media
⚰️   ――――        KATHERINE  NEVER  PLAYED  BY  THE  RULES,  SHE  WASN'T  A  FAN  OF  BEING  TIED  DOWN  TO  SUCH  SIMPLE  TASKS.  what  was  the  fun  of  life  if  it  wasn't  for  the  surprises  and  unexpecting  twists?  of  course,  she  had  promised  denny  that  she'd  behave  for  him  but  she  was  growing  bored  at  this  party.  it  was  full  of  dull,  old  people  who  wanted  to  talk  about  stocks  and  their  daughter  making  the  honor  roll;  shit  that  doesn't  matter  in  the  grand  scheme  of  things.  they  don't  know  what  the  truth  of  life  was  and  that  was  to  take  it  by  its  balls  and  run  with  it.  katherine,  in  all  katherine  fashion,  had  taken  it  upon  herself  to  liven  up  the  party  purely  for  her  own  entertainment. 
Tumblr media
KATHERINE  HAD  BEEN  STUCK  IN  A  DREADFUL  CONVERSATION  WITH  A  MUNDANE  WOMAN.  she  was  going  on  and  on  about  the  expensive  things  she  had  in  her  little  mansion  and  it  was  beginning  to  grow  tiresome.  she  sighed  deeply  in  frustration  before  grabbing  the  woman's  hand  and  staring  deeply  into  her  eyes,        ❛      why  don't  you  go  be  interesting  for  once  in  your  boring  life  and  find  someone  that  isn't  your  old  husband  and  make  out  with  them     ?     cause  a  scene,  make  this  night  something  people  wouldn't  rather  kill  themselves  instead  of  getting  through  it      ❜     she  compelled,  her  eyes  dilating  as  she  did  so  and  the  woman  didn't  waste  another  moment  in  getting  up  and  proceeding  with  katherine's  wishes.  a  giddy  grin  stretches  her  lips  but  it  quickly  fades  when  she  hears  denny's  voice  from  behind  her,  scolding  her,      ❛      oh  come  on,  i  was  bored       ❜     she  groaned,  spinning  in  her  stool  and  looking  up  at  him  with  innocent  doe  eyes.  she  reaches  up  to  grab  the  collar  of  his  shirt,  bringing  him  down  to  her  level  so  their  lips  almost  meet,        ❛       what  did  you  expect  when  you  brought  me  to  this  party,  denny     ?     this  is  no  fun.  besides,  you  always  liked  it  when  i  misbehave   —   gives  you  a  chance  to  scold  me       ❜     she  slyly  smirks,  biting  down  on  her  bottom  lip.

"dude, what the fuck?" angela had never been one to mince her words, and when she was startled it was all the worse. her hand plunged deep into a pocket, fingertips brushing against her weapon of choice for both comfort and ease of access. she was nothing if not prepared for anything. "are you a stalker or some shit? you're messing with the wrong person."

Follow up on Justice Alito’s dissent.
         In my brief weekend note, I described Justice Alito’s dissent in the US Supreme Court’s mifepristone order as part of “his descent into terminal crankiness” that “belittles the medical necessity of mifepristone and women’s rights to healthcare.” With the benefit of reflection, others have pointed out the alarming attack by Alito on the federal government. In his opinion, Alito said that
the Government has not dispelled legitimate doubts that it would even obey an unfavorable order in these cases, much less that it would choose to take enforcement actions to which it has strong objections.
         In other words, Alito posits that the federal government would simply ignore an order by the Supreme Court revoking the approval of mifepristone. Alito cites no authority for those “doubts” nor does he describe why those suspicions about the government’s response have the aura of “legitimacy””
         Alito has wandered into the territory of conspiracy theories being traded on the internet. As Jennifer Rubin writes in her op-ed, The Supreme Court delivers a sigh of relief — and an outrageous dissent,
The opinion is so lacking in judicial reason and tone that Supreme Court advocates and constitutional experts with whom I spoke were practically slack-jawed.
         Someone needs to do a wellness check on Justice Alito—for his own good and that of the Court and the nation. If only Chief Justice John Roberts viewed his role as something more than a ceremonial title, he would be person to take the lead. But there is little hope that he will act in this matter—given that he has punted on the investigation into Justice Thomas.
Justice Roberts declines to act on Justice Thomas.
         Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin wrote to Chief Justice Roberts asking him to investigate Justice Clarence Thomas’s failure to report financial relationships with Harlan Crow. In response to his letter, Senator Durbin received a letter from the US Judicial Conference, stating,
I write in response to the letter of April 10, 2023, from you and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to the Chief Justice of the United States, which has been referred to me.
         In other words, Chief Justice Roberts merely forwarded Durbin’s letter to the US Judicial Conference for response to Durbin. That would be the same Chief Justice Roberts who spent over $1 million investigating a leak of the Dobbs opinion and who cannot be bothered to investigate what appear to be clear violations of criminal law by Justice Thomas. Coward.

okay so it was a little weird seeing izzy get so attached to a patient. yeah, denny was good-looking but what about her coworkers? the people who weren't bound to hospital beds and waiting for a heart transplant that they really needed a while ago and probably weren't going to get. alex almost rolled his eyes when bailey assigned him to denny this morning, but izzy was right there and he didn't want to make her upset. "my bedside manner is just fine, thanks. i'm not gonna take advice from a guy with a bad heart," alex said. if izzy was here then that definitely would've gotten a side eye at the least. "hey if you think i don't like you very much then i can just go and get izzy for you. i saw you guys playing a board game the other day. what's up with that?" he asked.

miguel visiting his mom in the hospital takes him back to hearing stories from sensei sane and he can kinda tell that he was pushing his family away as opposed to miguel whose dad immediately gets them plane tickets to la and they're sure they're gonna stay there until miguel's mom tells them to go back and it's such a crazy contrast and yeah
