*Sniper nods as he listens carefully.*

Right...

*He takes a deep breath.*

Takin' a risk is part of the job, you're right. But what I'm talkin' about ain't work.

*His eyes are lowered, he can't look Spy in the eye, it feels like he already knows his thoughts. Spy's incredibly beautiful irises are too much to handle, especially for what Sniper is about to say.*

I ain't a coward and I should just own what I think, what I feel too.

*Sniper loses the hat and the glasses. He raises his eyes to Spy's. Now he needs to maintain that eye contact and it takes every bit of strength in his body to do so.*

Would you believe me if I told you that I stare at you sometimes, because I can't help it? There's somethin' in me and somethin' in you that just pulls my eyes to you all the time. When you're around, I wanna find an excuse to just... get closer to you, spend some time next to you.

Spy, I...

*Sniper chokes on his own spit even if his throat is dry.*

I'm not good at any of this, but I wanna try my best, with you, for you.

*He cannot say it plainly but Sniper means that he is not good at flirting, romance, courtship, whatever people name it. But his attraction to Spy makes him want to take that leap of faith, he strives to become someone that is worthy of Spy's company, and hopefully worthy of his affection too.*

I was jokin' about the weight comment. You're perfect as you are... *Sniper blushes and looks away before finding his way out of this compliment that might backfire on him*...even with yer twig legs...

Anyway, let's hop on the front of the van. Anywhere in particular you wanna go or d'you wanna trust your old Bushman?

*Sniper quips, playfully.*

Hm, you’re hilarious sometimes, did you know that? Perhaps save those compliments for a nice woman, hm?

*Spy has a small smile as he watches sniper. Never taking his eyes off him. He knows his words are not relevant for sniper, he just wants to see his reaction to such a comment.*

You’re the driver, mon ami. I trust you are actually good at driving.

*that was a dumb joke and spy tries to laugh it off quietly*

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

this post was the catalyst for this comic, and i was also thinking of a desi song lyric (tere dil ke sheher mein ghar mera ho gaya / in the city of your heart, my home is made) and just... hmmm.... leaving your mark.... making a house into a home..... when the marks a child inevitably leaves behind (messes, scribbles, and in this case stickers) eventually fade away as they grow older and you're left with the memories stored in what hasn't been erased....

im not verbalizing it very well but catch my drift?
