@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."

it's too dangerous out there.
† ―――― 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.
AS SHE WAS PACKING A BAG FULL OF WEAPONS AND OTHER USEFUL TOOLS FOR HER POTENTIALLY FATAL ADVENTURE, SHE WAS INTERRUPTED AND IT WASN'T INVITED. dawn wanted to sneak out quietly and do this on her own. she knew buffy wouldn't be happy to find this out but she had to show everyone, prove to them, that she was just as strong as big sister. she was a vampire slayer now. she was going to have to do this sooner or later. she was almost successful in her sneaky attempt to leave the house unnoticed but, of course, @duquete had caught her in the act. she groaned to herself, spinning around and facing the other, “ i'll be fine, i can take care of myself. vampire slayer now, remember ? i received the 1-800-CHOSEN hot line call and i accepted the charges. i can do this, you have to let me do this ” she insisted, never breaking the intense eye contact with the other, pursing her lips. she shakes her bag full of vampire dusting goodies, “ i'm going prepared, see ? i'm bringing the cookies to grandma's house. come on, it's only one vampire, how hard could it be ? i've been training, i know what i'm doing [ .... ] ”
#i set this in my vampire slayer verse for dawn post season 7 so they can be anywhere you'd like i'm not picky!!!#i hope this is ok btw :))#duquete: dawn summers#duquete#dawn summers ( answered meme. )#ic ( answered meme. )

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?
🧟 ―――― 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?
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.

you look like shit, man.
† ―――― GILES DIDN'T USUALLY GO ON PATROL BY HIMSELF BUT, WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAD BEEN GOING IN WITHIN THE SCOOBY GANG, HE FELT LIKE IT WOULD DO HIM SOME GOOD TO BE ON HIS OWN. he was still dealing with the death of joyce, buffy's mother, and the impacts it has made on not only the group or his slayer but himself as well. he'd never say it out loud, especially not to buffy, but he had deep, intimate feelings for joyce. he knew his feelings would've made buffy uncomfortable, given the fact that he's been her watcher and stand in father figure for quite some time, so he always kept it quiet and on the down low which meant he had to suffer in silence. he stewed in his apartment for days, reminiscing about her and the little memories they shared one on one, wondering what he could've done to save her even though he knew deep inside that he couldn't have done anything. her death was inevitable and that's what broke his heart the most.
SO, GILES HAD FIGURED, SOME ROUGHING UP THE VAMPIRES OF SUNNYDALE WOULD HELP HIM DUEL OUT HIS FEELINGS. what he didn't count on was running into @duquete tonight; in the cemetery nonetheless. he had just gotten finished in combat with a vampire that almost bested him. he had it under control, of course, the vampire meeting its demise with a big pile of dust in the end but it was close. he was alive and that's what matters. giles had blood dripping slightly from the corner of his mouth and his glasses were crooked as they rested atop his nose. he laughed at the other man's words, “ yes, well, that's one way to put it ” he replied jokingly. he dusted off his clothing and proceeded to stand straight where he stood. he sighs softly, glancing around the graveyard, “ what are you doing out this late unaccompanied ? ” he asked, regaining his breath from his previous battle moments before. “ is there trouble ? ”

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?
"please tell me you know it's called tiktok."
@duquete
@taughtpain sent : " is that seriously your password? "
" YES, THAT IS SERIOUSLY MY PASSWORD. ― should it seriously not be? " teasing grin flashes in robby’s direction, apparently 𝐮𝐧𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 by the fact the other had just spotted him type 𝟷𝟸𝟹𝟺 into his phone to unlock it. denny should, realistically, know better. he investigated for a living, but there was a vast difference ( in his mind ) in possible arson & his own 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚍𝚊𝚝𝚊. enough that he hasn’t bothered to secure the latter. " i doubt anybody is gonna want to steal this piece of crap anytime soon and if they did? they won’t find anything interesting. it’s mostly just funny tic tacs my niece sent me and photos of my own hand because i never realise it’s covering the lens. " as if to prove his point, he clicks into camera roll to reveal a rather impressive collection of mostly ruined photographs, half a thumb or finger hooking over places it didn’t need to be. " turns out the term 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 depends entirely on the owner. ― what can i say, kiddo? i’m getting old & i’ve had a lot of surgery over the years. i need something that’s easy to remember. "

@duquete sent from dennison duquette jr to katherine pierce : "i thought you promised to behave."
⚰️ ―――― 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.
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.
" I’M STARTING TO GET THE FEELING YOU DON’T LIKE ME VERY MUCH. " it sounds more like an observation than a question. and admittedly? — denny is half - aware he’s pushing buttons, but a man’s gotta make his own entertainment when he’s bed bound in hospital. besides, something tells him the dude that took a defibrillator to his chest while conscious can take it. " mostly because you are 𝗻𝗼𝘁 doing a great job at hiding it. you ever consider you might need to work on your 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚜𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚛 given the line of work you’ve chosen? " head tilts to one side in an almost curious manner before he continues. " hell, i get it, man. i’d be pissed too if this super handsome man just walked right into my hospital, especially when he’s got that whole . . . 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝 soon vibe working for him. that’s a real hit with the ladies. " fine, now he’s joking, attempting to make light of an awkward situation because if there’s one person he doesn’t wanna 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚕𝚢 piss off, it’s probably a doctor. they were kinda vital to his survival these days.
@mecwmellc : liked for a starter. ( alex karev )
#he is such an asshole i'm gonna scream#duquete#also pretend this isn't months later <3#this has just been sitting in my drafts#he likes izzy but no way in hell he's gonna tell denny that

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
