not knowing what else to do, nolan sat in the sand. they scooped some into the bucket, methodically making sure it was wet enough that it would stand tall once he flipped it over. the cigarette he had lit rested between his lips as he worked. the movements were so easy, something he'd done a thousand times as a child, that he needn't think at all about it and yet, it still kept his mind from all that had been troubling him. once he turned it over and pulled the bucket off, however, the sand slipped down, so what was left was just a simple mound of wet sand rather than a castle. "fuck." he took a deep drag from the cigarette and blew it out as he allowed himself to fall back to lay flat on the beach. when he opened his eyes, he noticed a figure in his peripheral. he turned his head to look at them. "welcome to my kingdom," he said flatly as he sat up. // OPEN

since his injury, it's been difficult for micah not to compare his physical abilities to the control and precision he once he had. at least when he first starts any sort of physical activity, but then he eventually reaches a flow state. a state of mind that is cleared of any pain and stiffness and uses every muscle to achieve something, even if it was completing a simple run. of course, it was always more fun with a friend, so he was happy that elliot had time to come with him. and even more fun was winning the race he had been running against elliot in his mind, so as they began closing in on the agreed upon end point, micah picked up his pace. his leg stretched out wide with each step, micah sprinted as fast as he could, catching elliot's eye and giving him a cocky smirk that revealed ex-pro athete's competitive edge.

wednesday what’s in my bag

[bnolan]

“i’m glad y’all are around,” nolan tells adrian in regards to him and his brother also staying in palmview. if you asked them, nolan wouldn’t be able to say if it was sincere. maybe it was and it wasn’t. i can be complex, he thinks to himself.

on one hand, it was nice to have an old friend nearby. someone to be himself with. someone who was good at looking away from the ugly side of things. nolan didn’t want to think about los angeles, but it was getting hard to suppress the violent flashbacks of his last day there…

on the other hand, they aren’t the biggest fan of adrian. in fact, on a good day and if he wasn’t in sight, nolan would not call adrian a friend. but their mothers are friends, plus adrian’s known to make generous donations to the fundraisers nolan takes part in organizing, so keeping up appearances with the shephards has its importance.

getting the last of his things, nolan is finally ready. “okay, let’s get into some trouble,” he says with a smile, tossing a nip of adrian’s choice of spirit to him, then he twists the cap to his open. nolan holds up the mini alcohol bottle, taking a moment to think of what to toast to. “to boy’s night,” he says once he realizes he won’t be able to come up with anything better. // @adrivns

Vulture showed Rachel Weisz that Reductress piece

[odettist]

having woken up in a creative slump, odette dedicated the day to pampering herself. she took her time getting ready. after a long, hot shower that left her fresh and perfumed, she took the time to style her hair and do her makeup. she felt marvelous and beautiful as she flicked the mascara wand over her eyelashes. the more put together she became, the less long eternity existed in her mind. a day was a day was a day; there was no replacing it. this was a truth she had learned and accepted, yet it was her most forgotten truth, so it was also something she has continuously remind herself of.

even if she didn’t age, odette could still make her own small, simple changes to her appearance. after applying a new lip combo, she studied herself in the vanity mirror. she was past being surprised by her own beauty; now it was one of her few comforts. something that may have raised her self-confidence too high as she now expected strangers on the street to see her. this expectation allowed her the privilege of never really paying too much attention to others, so the collision bruised her ego more than anything else. “no, you didn’t see,” she replied sharply, studying the other person once she collected herself. she caught sight of the image on the camera’s screen. she looked up at the building in question, then peered back at them. “what’s even so special about this place?” the curiosity spilled out naturally, if not a little cuttingly since her nerves were still tingling some.

frustration paints her features as another person walks directly through her shot, body stiffening in an attempt to keep her mouth shut. they're all apologetic which she appreciates but wished she could be a bit more assertive — like she used to be. it was meant to be a simple photo highlighting a local business in town, but the flow of it's residents in this more populated area was heavy. and as yet another person passes by, riley lays her chin atop her camera and offers a friendly smile in passing as a response to their neighbourly wave. maybe they thought it was a video and were reaching for their five seconds of portum times fame, in which case riley would look silly more than anything, assuming the kindness was directed toward her over the camera she had perched on a tripod. with one last attempt, they capture the business and detach their camera, beginning to turn for their bag, eyes glued to the screen to ensure it was an exemplary shot. nearly colliding into another body after stepping without looking, riley gasps quietly. “ fuck ... ” they say in a startled whisper, fingers lifting immediately afterward to press over their lips for the cuss word. “ sorry, you just spooked me is all. i didn't see... ” riley rushes to find an appropriate response, a light pink hue burning their cheeks. scrambling to conceal her very mild embarrassment, riley quickly glances down at the camera screen again and lets out a disappointed sigh, the cascading light from the setting sun creating an image that was difficult to see. “ i hope you've had better luck than me today. ”

Noshir during the first 2/3 of Downfall: Playing low INT character for laughs, but also uses his habit of repeating others' words in meaningful ways, both bringing lightheartedness to the group and accidentally (?) highlighting and reminding us of recurrent themes in the work as a whole
