Today is a good day, surprisingly. Usually, snow means nightmares and not eating enough, and worrying Joel into an early grave. But not today, today is a good day. Because today, Joel is off rotation, and school is canceled because the snow drifted and they can't get the doors open. That means spending the whole day with Joel, just the two of them.

Which lead them to where they are now. Be a shame to waste it, Joel tells her, helping her pull her hat onto her head. They march outside, bundled up against the nip in the air. Ellie starts the snowball fight, purely because she can. Nails him directly in the face too, she's pretty proud of it. She silently thanks Tommy, for showing her how to make one.

She takes cover behind the shed in the backyard, when she sees Joel making a snowball, no doubt to retaliate. Joel takes cover behind the big cottonwood. They spend who knows how long hucking snowballs at each other and laughing harder than Ellie thinks they ever have. Turns out Ellie has excellent aim when it comes to throwing snowballs. Joel, they discover, does not. A fact that Ellie spends a good ten minutes cackling about, bent over at the waist and face red.

Joel takes the opportunity to shove a handful of snow down the back of her shirt, and she will deny the shriek she lets out until the day she dies.

She tackles him, and he lets her. Falls to the side like she took him down when they both know she couldn't knock him over at all if he didn't allow it. She grabs handfuls of snow, pelts him with them, giggling the whole time. He retaliates, flips her to the side so she lands with a huff.

They stay like that, both laying on their sides and throwing handfuls of snow at one another. Joel laughs so hard no sound comes out and she knows he'd be clapping, if his hands weren't occupied. His seal laugh, as she calls it, is one of her favorite things in the whole world.

They stop after a while, stay on the ground panting to catch their breath and giggling together. They both roll onto their backs, snickering under their breath. She looks up at the sky, points out a cloud that looks like a butterfly. Looks like Sarah wanted to be involved, she tells him, just to see the way his eyes go soft and fond. He shifts in place, brings his arms up. Swooshes his arms and legs back and forth, eyes on the sky.

"Making a snow angel," he answers, when she asks him what the fuck he's doing.

He sighs when she tilts her head in confusion. Stands and pulls her to her feet, mumbles something about FEDRA doesn't teach shit do they under his breath. Introduces her to the fine art of making a snow angel. Shows her how by example, moves to a fresh area to start. She flops down next to his when it's done. Makes her own.

"What do you think, Kiddo?" Joel asks as he helps her dust the snow off her back, once she stands up again.

She turns to look at them. His is way better than hers is, she can admit that. But she doesn't think that hers is bad, just that Joel's is better. Which makes sense, given he's like a hundred and has been doing this for far longer than her.

It does something to her, though. Seeing them side by side like that. Makes something warm and gooey and soft spread through her chest, seeing his much larger angel next to her smaller one. Smiles when she notices that the "wings" of their angels are crossed over each other. She likes it, like they're holding hands or something. Like they're family.

"I think they're perfect," she tells him.

"So do I, Kiddo, so do I."

Ellie beams at him, and he grins back. She wants to tell him, how much this means to her. How much he means to her but isn't sure how to do it. How to get the words out. Because how could she ever put anything Joel means to her into words. Joel is her best friend, he's the best thing that ever happened to her. How can she possibly put that into words? There aren't any words big enough, to encapsulate everything Joel is to her, everything he does for her.

Settles for asking, "Cocoa?" with a lopsided smile, the one she knows is his favorite.

"Cocoa," he agrees, looping an arm over her shoulder to lead her back inside.

Her jacket is soaked through, and she’s absolutely freezing, but her heart feels warm because Joel is with her.

And, right now, that's all that matters. Joel is with her.

There's something about being alone that disturbs me. Sometimes the past gives this crushing feeling that creeps up on me on the few times I'm alone......

It feels very real, even though I know it isn't. Like all my scars have re-opened, feeling deeper that they have felt before.

I fall back into the desperation I felt. The overwhelming feeling of loss.

The pain of sacrifice. It's more intense than the last time I felt it. Why does it feel so much. Worse.

Sucking me deeper into the depths of depression. Making me wonder why I still choose to feel......

I silently become overwhelmed. Hoping that it would all just stop, but I'm too scared to say out loud. It is..... It.......Is.......

Forced out by familiar sounds....familiar touch....It slowly fades away. And I come back to the present.....

I was so excited to take this history of black cinema course and learn about all the things the other film courses ignore or leave out regarding film history because it focuses on black people and their very significant impact on Hollywood and film in general, but so far all we've had is white speaker after white speaker talking about how smart and great they are for knowing that black people were involved in film too, talking about their podcasts and the books they're writing on the subject, and I'm wondering how is it that I'm paying so much money for schooling and these speakers and professors are the best they could afford.

acK ACK ACK ACK― WHY DOES EVERYONE THROW THINGS AT ME?

[amber-tortoiseshell]

what's your color headcanon for Shadowsight? I personally imagine him as a black smoke with ghost tabby

Thanks for the ask! 😸 However I have to start with this: right now i'm only at the last book of A Vision of Shadows. So for me Shadowsight is just a kit with some concerning visions, and i don't know much about him or his siblings. This means my opinions on the family can and probably will change when i get to know them better.

I wrote Shadowkit into my family tree as blue blotched tabby. Blue can get very dark, so i think it passes the "dark grey" description, and I like that he isn't a perfect copy of the tigers but a "diluted" one.

However I have to admit i like yours too! Dovewing is silver for me, so black smoke is perfectly within the possibilities of her and Tigerheart's litter, and it looks cool. I'd keep the blotched ghost pattern.
