Tag Game

Rules: Share 10 facts about yourself and tag 10 other blogs! I want to get to know my mutuals, and the people I follow a little bit :) The facts can be about anything!

I tag @sillyliterature, @spectralhero, @kirschewine, @shadowbroker, @earthenterran, @gaysjureido, @ladyotakukiut, @kittyparr, @danifart, @swerveable

My 10 facts about myself:

1. When I was younger I was super scared to sleep alone in the dark, because I had a fear of the paranormal. As I got older however that fear diminished gradually.

2. Lara Croft was my first videogame icon, and I still love her.

3. Also, I’ve wanted to be like Lara Croft when I was a kid and whenever I was on a playground I’d pretend to be her.

4. Speaking of Lara Croft, Angelina Jolie was probably my gay awakening.

5. My current favorite movies are Waking Life and Before Sunset.

6. I am afraid of deep water, so I never swim in water that is so deep it goes above my neck.

7. The book that made me cry the hardest was The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I absolutely fell in love with the world the way it was written in the book.

8. I actually wrote my first fanfic at age 10, though I don’t think I was aware that such a story was called fanfiction.

9. I’ve loved videogames since I was little. I think I played my first games around age 4. 😂

10. As a kid I’d buy a new Bravo Girl magazine every month for years, and I still regret not keeping that collection for nostalgia reasons 😭

“Is there a place for me in your heart?”

NOTE: Another little spoiler of a work I'm drafting...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The flick of the lighter echoed through the salty air and then the fizzing of the cigarette's burning tip shone warmly against the dark blue landscape of the traffic city below her. She took a puff with her eyes closed, waiting for him to fall in his step and coming close. Next to where her elbows stood on the cold rail, Iwaizumi put a glass of water. Crystal clear, it looked like a diamond under the moonlight rays.

"Do you want me to put it out?" she asked while shifting the cigarette away from him, so it couldn't disturb him too much with its smoke.

"Do what you want, I know it's your choice to make," he replied politely, "But I have to tell you that I don't like you to smoke because it's bad for your health," there couldn't help but lecture her gently, "This doesn't mean you're disappointing me, you're not a disappointment."

"Mmh... Seems like the psychology lessons you had were pretty good," she hummed, smiling slightly behind another puff. 

"They were, but I must admit I had also a good observing friend who liked psychology at high school," he shared the little knowing smile. 

"Yeah?" she chuckled softly, "So you're not here to scold me like a child, are you, Hajime?"

He sighed and leaned on the rail too, glancing over the LA skyscrapers and orange-colored lights of its streets, he thought how to ask properly and she let him do that smoking quietly beside him. 

"You see it too, don't you?" he hated hitting around the bush but he couldn't middle in his friends' affaires at the same time, so it was the only way out.

"I'll lie if I say I don't see everything I can," she nodded and he was grateful that instead she liked the metaphors way too much. 

"Then I don't understand why," he confessed and turned to her, "Why didn't you say anything and why don't you now?"

She let some ashes fall down by tapping on the butt of the cigarette, she took a puff and watched the little flame burning for a bunch of seconds.

"I wasn't ready back then and he wasn't too, it wasn't fair for none of us," she explained calmly, "Now... Now we're being both stupid and we'll probably snap at the wrong time," she laughed in a silly way.

"Oh okay then, I was right from the start," he noted sarcastically, "You fucking dumbasses are meant to torture me 'till death!"

At those words she couldn't restrain herself anymore and laughed so hard that the cigarette slipped through her fingers and fell down over the balcony. 

"Oh shit!" she cursed still chuckling, "Hope nobody's gonna burn their hair!" she caught a tear under her eye with her pointing finger. 

"No seriously," he didn't pity at all the still half cigarette to smoke, "That was just a joke, right? You don't really mean it, right!?" 

The scene must have been funny because she kept a dopey smile on her lips, while she gladly accepted the glass of water he brought. Iwaizumi looked like a mad man, the vein on his forehead was so close to pop out because of the tension.

"I got the impression you don't really want me to answer that..." she whispered behind the glass right before taking a few tips and he called her name out sternly, "Alright alright," she surrendered rising her free hand, "I mean... Do you think I should?"

"Definitely!" he pleaded exhausted by the antics of those two idiots he had choose as friends, "Please, put me out of this misery and go for it! I'll pay all the cost of the honeymoon if you want, but please just fucking tell him!" 

"A good payed honeymoon doesn't sound bad, after all..." she feigned interested in being persuaded like that, "It's just that... For real, do you think I can, Hajime?"

The humour left completely the banter to change in a heart-felt conversation. She stood up on her feet and looked up at him with so much honesty and fear and care in her eyes that he switched his mood to match hers immediately. 

"What scares you?" he genuinely asked, "Is it the distance?"

"No it's not that... Or at least I think it's something I could manage but..." she sighed and lowered her gaze into the glass of water still filled, "What I fear is that he would say yes, but then after some time that would just turn in a kinda of gatekeeping thing and he would end hating me for all of that," she spoke the darkest part of her heart, "I swear, Hajime, if the risk would only be a break up, I could deal with the pain of its aftermath... I'm so fucking used to love people who has left me behind," she smiled sadly while running a digit around the rim of the glass, "But if he ends up hating me? I don't think I could bear that idea." 

Another tear run down her cheeks and Iwaizumi's heart clenched at the thought that this time it wasn't caused by a laugh... 

He called her name softly to meet again her eyes, "Listen, I really think you should tell him all of this, you need to feel your emotions! Especially the good ones, because you're always so careful with the bad ones that you tend to forget those sometimes," he put a comforting hand on her shoulder, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but he loves you so much that I think he fear the same about you."

"Okay," she murmured.

"You deserve to be happy and loved, both of you do," he reassured her.

"Okay," she repeated, "Thanks Hajime," she found a little bit of courage about what to do, "We might be the ones to pay you a honeymoon..."

"Yeah, I fucking deserve that after all of these years with you two dumbasses in love!!" he laughed openly and she followed him shyly, "Now let's go inside, it's starting to get cool," he side-hugged her to lead her back to the living room before she could remember to not have completely smoked her fallen cigarette.

So this is extremely cool, and if you want a fantasy series where this idea is used, you want Victoria Goddard’s Lays of the Hearth-Fire. Start with The Hands of the Emperor.

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

«Patetico» borbottò il moro al suo fianco, affogando nella birra la bile che a quella scena gli inacidiva nello stomaco. «Come, scusa?» lo guardò interdetto, incapace di intuire il motivo di quel commento. Iwaizumi lo fulminò sul posto, si morse la lingua per evitare si sputare solo insulti al suo stupido amico e sbuffò rumorosamente cercando le parole giuste da rivolgergli; «Perché non vai direttamente a parlarle o a chiederle di ballare?» domandò estenuato da quel déjavù che si ritrovava a vivere. Oikawa impallidì come preso alla sprovvista, strinse le dita attorno il bicchiere temendo di perdere l'equilibrio e cadere da quello scomodissimo sgabello su cui si era appollaiato. Perché non vai direttamente a parlarle? Fu un attimo fugace, il gioco di ombre e luci del locale in un battito di ciglia, che ricompose la propria maschera. «Sai bene che non le piace affatto ballare» ghignò saccente e fuggì dal suo sguardo incontrando invece quello del barista per ordinare un refill. Era cosciente di non ingannare Iwaizumi, ma non aveva proprio voglia di parlarne e sperò con tutto se stesso che gli mostrasse un briciolo di empatia. Sfortunatamente per lui però anche il moro si trovava ai ferri corti e quindi non ci pensò due volte a metterlo con le spalle al muro. «Shittykawa, sei tutto tranne che un codardo» lo riprese, immediatamente stroncò la sua messa in scena continuando «Nello specifico sei un petulante rompipalle bastardo che non conosce i limiti della pazienza altrui, quindi rispondi sinceramente alla domanda: perché diavolo non le parli?»
