[isolctions]

Showers have always been one of her only safe spaces. When she steps into it tonight, for the first time Izi doesn't carry the overwhelming weight of grief, guilt, disgust or shame with her; no compulsion to scrub her skin raw in scalding hot water to rid her body of the ghosts of unkind hands & unwanted touches. For once, Izidora felt lighter than ever, warmth filling her chest & stomach as she's suddenly hit by a strange feeling of giddiness over the anticipation of what was to come. Pressing a shaky hand to her mouth while her body briefly remained hidden from Keith by the shower door, Izidora's mind runs through the memories of the short time they've spent together, finally allowing herself to come to terms with the knowledge that she's loved him through each & every moment, even the tense & angry ones, including the conversation held just moments ago. She felt like she could be herself with him, entirely safe with a person that really cared about her — and now, she's about to become his wife. Completely overcome by the sudden onset of a multitude of emotions, Izi grins through the running water & tears hitting her face, moving her hands to cheeks in sheer disbelief before remembering he was still waiting on her. Halfway through washing herself, she notices Keith slip into the shower beside her and subtly keeps her hand shielded against her bare cheek, consciously standing at an angle as she silently took it upon herself to assist with cleaning off together. It was another first, but an oddly intimate one given their closeness in proximity. "Shit, baby, your back — ," Izi whispers suddenly, scrunching her face up in slight embarrassment once she fully sees the damage her nails dealt to his skin. "Hol' on, it's gon' stop stingin' in a sec," Reaching past him for the bottle she just placed aside, Izidora pours a small amount of the healing mixture she normally used for herself before gently massaging it into his back, sneaking a tiny kiss at the middle of his spine. Once they were both clean, fully dressed & satisfied, Izidora took no time at all in getting straight to the point with him. It was nerve wracking, and she still wasn't entirely sure of why Keith — or anyone, really — would ever want to marry somebody like her. "Yea'...she got like, some fuckin' license from the state or whatever. Unless you wanna wait instead? We jus' met, so..." In a way, she was giving him an out as she anxiously rambled on — until he agreed. She blinks, stunned for a second, before visibly lighting up as she leans into his hold & caressed his face gently with soft, yet passionate kiss in return. However, it falters for just a moment once they pull away, Izidora flinching minutely at Keith's sudden question about her face. "We shoul' go, 'fore she start blowin' my phone up waitin'." She avoids the question entirely, not quite ready to reveal to him the disfiguration covering the entirety of her right cheek. At least not now, literal minutes before their wedding. Only a half hour later, the shit was real. Izidora was standing in the middle of her close friend Lakeyah's living room: a bouquet of fake roses in one hand & Keith's in the other, and a (ridiculous) veiled tiara placed on top of her head. Once the overly-excitable woman managed to stop fussing at her long enough to take her seriously, they were now here — making up vows completely on a whim. She nearly goes weak in the knees at being coaxed gently into vulnerability. She's quiet, flustered by the intensity of Keith's stare as she anxiously tries to find the right words. "I got this...really fuckin' annoyin' ass crush on you. An' I'on know how none of this shit works, 'cause I never been wit' anybody in my whole life before. You real life the first boyfriend I ever had an' we only really been together for like, five hours — shut the fuck up, 'Keyah — but...I meant it when I said I'm in love wit' you. Only a lil' bit, 'cause you be pissin' me the fuck off. I still wanna be wit' you though, so...lemme be ya' wife, or whatever."

"Okay!" Keith exclaimed, loosening his hold on her body, "You so fuckin' ghetto...why would you say it like that?" The grimace that contorted his face was quickly replaced by a lustful sort of joy at watching Izidora walk away from him. Keith couldn't resist the urge that stirred within, striking his palm against her supple flesh. Knowing firsthand the strength behind her reflexes, he hung back for a moment. He didn't mind (maniacally enjoyed) the physicality of their relationship, but it always helped to be prepared for Izi's wrath.

Soon after, Keith returned to a more playful version of himself, immediately cracking jokes when he followed her into the bathroom. "Shut up. You wanna marry me." He had a feeling that would be his response to insult she lobbed his way. At this point, Keith was untouchable, having won Izidora's affections against all odds. He allowed her a few minutes in the shower by herself as he put his own hair up. Sliding in as she was rinsing, Keith couldn't help but notice the hand that never left her face. Much more focused on getting himself clean, he didn't harp on it too much. Every woman had their own way of bathing...but outside of the shower? That was a separate dilemma entirely. Even back in the bedroom, she kept it covered, but the speed at which she navigated between rooms distracted him momentarily. And finally, he received some clarity about this phone call. "Do what? Marry us?" Keith didn't know whether to be excited or scared. She was just as impulsive as he was, but she had drive. Slipping the clean designer tee over his head, he met her with a smile. "Shit, let's go then," he shrugged like they just agreed to a late night fast food run. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. It was strange how he wasn't nervous at all, how ready he was to spend the rest of his life with someone's he's only known for a short amount of time.

Overthinking wasn't something that Keith was capable of doing; he rarely tried to explain things way or make a rational argument. He did as he pleased and said what he wanted, no matter how silly it was or insensitive it could come off. Pulling back a bit, he pressed his lips into hers sweetly, minding the stitches. He tried to move some of her hair out of her face. And immediately, the motion reminded him of her repeated efforts to conceal the right side of it. "Why you keep covering yo' face like I ain't seen you already?" Maybe it was the makeup she'd already applied, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary to him. She was still so beautiful, but he was curious. What the fuck was that about?

Forced my boy to watch the watchmen movie with me (so he could get what I was yelling about on my private instagram story, I was mansplaining the whole time and we watched the directors cut), so here are my thoughts:

It was relatively faithful (not that that's a measure of how good something is), and overall criticisms I can think of have already been made (fight choreography, Zack kinda missing the point) and for a goofy little time its pretty enjoyable :3

((More in depth below))

I think that they messed up Dan's character, he was made too confident... (I love his extremely passive/gentle demeanor and speech patterns so much so much and they took that away from him... growls...) and also how his relationship with Laurie was handled

I really didn't like how they had Dan immediately come onto her in the dinner scene (like im looking at the book rn and I'm failing to see romantic subtext there, though I am like really bad at seeing that kinda stuff so it could be user error?) they just feel really underbaked in the movie, kinda gives me "oh they're boy and girl they kiss now" energy, where in the book they have a lot more time to develop (also like Dan also knew her since she was 16 iirc so having her take most of the initiative makes it feel way less predatory... and I wanna clarify I think Laurie and Dan are great for each other and he treats her so well after they're established)

Not to mention the pool scene! That scene was so fucking deep and tender etc. I CRODE and there was really nothing comparable in the movie (ALSO WHY DID THEY HAVE JON KISS HER OH MY GOD)

I also personally fucking HATED how the Roche scene was handled but I guess burning a dude alive was too much /opinionated because I can see how it kinda makes sense like killing him the same way he killed his dogs or whatever and its a relatively easy way to go...

But god in the comic where he's just standing and waiting is so powerful, also like really fucked up because the guy didn't even outright confess (which its like were certain its him but theres that <1% chance it was wrong guy wrong place wrong time to be thought about) also being burnt to death is accepted to be one of the most painful ways to die and to put salt in the wound giving him the saw even though both of them knew he wouldn't get out... it just makes him feel super Fucked Up And Evil which makes sense! That scene is one of the very rare cases in fiction where I get the same gut response as I get when hearing about real fucked up murders

those were my main issues tbh I really liked how they did Rorschach's mask also his waist being so snatched under the trench coat was driving me crazy... loved his casting esp because im also a short freak, there needs to be more of us

Good things about Dan though he still is sweet and gentle despite not being as much as I wished he was... like when he fixed Rorschach's collar and just little things like that... and despite my grievances with how his relationship was handled with Laurie it wasn't fucked up TOO bad...

Uhh lets see, casting JDM as Edward actual genius

Refuse to comment on blue peanits...

Anyways here's what the boyfriend had to say about it:

So true babe <<<3
