#jemma’s thoughts

[sailforvalinor]

Okay so one of my favorite things about Fitzsimmons in AOS is that Fitz, the man of science, is absolutely, explicitly convinced that he and Simmons are doomed by the narrative. The universe doesn’t want us together. We’re cursed. And though she doesn’t believe him at first, things keep happening and they get pulled apart over and over again, and in time logical, analytical Simmons can’t help but agree. We’re cursed.

But then we get these moments in S4, 5, and 6, when Simmons is at her lowest, at her most hopeless and nihilistic, where Daisy takes her by the shoulders and reminds her of the truth—you and Fitz were meant to be together. It says so much that Daisy, who is associated with so much relational instability, is the one who recognizes their relationship as a constant and grounds her in this, and illustrates so plainly that Fitzsimmons are the backbone of the entire team. The health of their relationship is the glue that holds the team together.

And that’s when they realize—it’s not important that the universe keeps tearing them apart, it’s that they always find their way back to each other again. And that’s when you see this steady determination come over the both of them. No more destiny, no more doom—only their faith in their commitment that they will always find each other in the dark. They are Orpheus and Eurydice, thrown over and over again into the darkness and forced to blindly lead each other out—but they always make it out.

They go to war with the narrative and they win. Insane

i hate spy’s goodbye because Bobbi is all “I know I love these people. I will never forget them. I hate to leave but I am so glad I’ve known them.” whereas Hunter is “I didn’t realise I loved these people. I just found people I care about. Why do I have to leave a place I finally belong?” and it hurts. a lot.

(when hunter first realises and goes ‘oh, it’s Jemma’ in this soft voice like he never expected these people to care about him and for him to care so much in return)

I imagined this in my head and giggled to myself like a weirdo, so obviously I had to draw it.

You’re not alone

Reader is depressed and relapsing (WandaNat x Reader)

TW: suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt, self-harm

You are sitting in the middle of the bathroom, copious tears are falling from your cheeks. The knife is held in your hand as you watch the blood dripping onto the floor.

Civilians died today and it was your fault alone. You're not Steve Rogers and that shield doesn't make you the same as him. You know it but others expect you to become Captain America, a female Steve Rogers.

If Wanda and Nat had discovered that you had started again, that for more than two months now, you have continued to go deeper and deeper ...

You squeeze the knife, the blood is still flowing from your arm but you don't notice it. You just want to go deeper ... press harder and let it all end.

"Y / n?" Wanda knocks on the door and tries to open it, discovering that it is closed.

"Y / n, are you okay?"

There is concern in her voice, you hear it clearly. You wake up from the trance you fell into, looking at the pool of blood on the floor.

“Hey, Wands. I'm fine, give me a moment and I'll open the door "

You take the first towel you find and you open the sink, throw some water on the floor and start scrubbing the floor, after less than two minutes it's back to almost normal and you get up. You pull down the sleeve of your sweatshirt, unfortunately yellow, and pray it won't get dirty as you throw the towel into the laundry basket.

You open the door and Wanda enters in less than a second. She looks you in the eye and looks around the bathroom.

You bite your lip nervously, feeling the blood trickle down your arm.

You look at your arm quickly, noticing that the red begins to widen and stand out on the yellow color.

Damn.

"Y / n ..." Wanda's voice trembles as she says your name. You look up and see that she too is looking in the same direction as you.

"Wanda, I ... it's not like-"

Wanda takes your arm and lifts your sleeve before you can say anything.

She lets out a gasp when she notices the depth of the wounds.

"W-how long?" Wanda whispers, tears now running down her cheeks.

"Wanda I ... please don't cry"

You reach out her hand by pulling down her right sleeve and caress her cheek, wiping away her tears.

"Y / n, how long have you started again"

Her tone is harder now and she pulls away from your touch.

"Two months," she whispers, looking down. You know there will be action, especially after Nat finds out.

"They're very deep y / n ... really deep." Wanda runs her hand over your sleeve, her fingers glowing red.

You pull her arm away, you don't want her to heal you.

Wanda looks at you in surprise before taking your other arm and pulling up her sleeve. You look away when some tears fall from her eyes.

"You've never done it on this arm," Wanda whispers and you can't help but swallow.

"Did-did you want to kill yourself y / n?" Wanda's voice trembles as she says these words.

You shake your head hard as you hurry to pull down your sleeve and take her hands in yours.

"No ... I went fast, it's true, but I didn't intend to do anything extreme Wands"

You let her control your mind and after a few minutes you see her relax her shoulders.

"You have to tell Nat," she says and you nod, you're aware of it.

"Did you tell anyone? Maria, Bobbi, Daisy, Jemma ... "

Those girls are your family, three continuous years of missions led to creating what you believe to be your family, along with the Avengers.

“No, I didn't say anything; Jemma, Bobbi and Daisy are in a relationship now and Maria has been full of meetings lately… I didn't want to disturb them »you whisper the last part and Wanda lifts your chin with her index finger.

"You are their family y / n, you are not a nuisance to them"

She bites the inside of her cheek, nodding.

You both hear a knock on the door before Natasha enters the bathroom.

"Hey, it was taking a while and I was worrying." Nat turns and her smile disappears as her gaze falls on your bare arm.

"Damn ..." she whispers, moving closer and pulling you into a hug.

You feel they have a mental conversation, probably Wanda is showing her memories of her, saving you from having to explain everything to her.

Nat breaks away from her embrace and looks you in her eyes.

«Two months and you didn't tell us anything ... you made a promise y / n» Natasha sighs, shaking her head and leaning with her back against the wall.

You promised you'd tell him if you did it again ... god, you feel so guilty now.

“Wanda, honey, call Jemma and ask her to come to our Manhattan apartment with Daisy and Bobbi; I'll call Maria ... she had a meeting with Tony today, she'll be here shortly »says Natasha and you shake your head, you don't want to disappoint your family; they'll be so pissed at you ...

Natasha and Wanda look at you, seeing the terror in your eyes.

"We want you to be safe and with the work we do we are a long time away and we want someone to give you a hand in case of need," Natasha whispers, stroking your cheek with her hand.

"We love you too much to see you hurt yourself"

Wanda lets a few tears flow before sweeping them away quickly.

"I love you too" you pull them into a hug, burying your head in the middle of their breasts, making you overwhelmed by their scent.

You nervously twist the ring around her finger, biting your lip.

Maria, Jemma, Bobbi and Daisy were sitting on the sofa in your apartment (the huge penthouse that Tony had taken for you, Wanda and Nat in Manhattan), waiting for me to open my mouth.

"So ... are we staying here in this awkward silence or do you want to tell us why your two amazing girls, and two of the hottest avengers of all the Avengers, called us and gave us a heart attack?" says Daisy and you can't help but smile, like the other girls. Hell, you missed them.

A phone rings and Maria rummages in her pocket before taking a small black Nokia, looking at who's calling, and rejecting the call, throwing it back in her pocket.

"To hell with Fury, this is more important," she smiles at your direction.

"Did you just close to our boss?" Jemma almost screams, her eyes widening.

Maria rolls her eyes and Bobbi chuckles, along with Daisy.

After a few minutes, once everyone has calmed down, Bobbi speaks.

"Nat said we would be angry about this thing you're having so much trouble telling us ..." she looks at you: "is it serious?"

You sigh, rummaging in your pocket before pulling out a makeup remover wipe. True, Wanda and Nat had seen them but you had time to cover most of them, the deepest ones.

You shorten your sleeves, showing the cuts on your arms to your family.

"Fuck" Maria whispers and looks away, tears threatening to come out.

Jemma lets out a gasp before quickly grabbing her bag and kneeling next to the chair where you're sitting.

Daisy runs a hand through her hair, eyes glistening as Bobbi lets the tears flow, quickly slamming her foot up and down.

"How long have you started again?" whispers Maria.

"Two months"

As you say it, you look away, you know you have let them down. That's the second promise you break.

Jemma gently takes her arms, watching the cuts closely.

You take out a towel, to discover the other cuts too, but Jemma, who already understood this, takes it from you and begins to do it on her own.

"I don't want you to hurt yourself," she whispers and you can't help but nod.

"It's a little late for that," Daisy says coldly and hearing the tone of their girlfriend and friend, the other three start and so do you.

"I know you're angry but-" you try to justify yourself, to no avail.

"I'm more than angry, I-"

Daisy starts but stops when Jemma lets out a sob.

"Jem ..." Daisy frowns, worried about her girlfriend, as does Bobbi.

Jemma looks up at your face and you lower yours to look at her.

You see that she has cleaned all of your cuts, showing the deeper ones, right above the veins in the forearm.

"You p-tried to commit suicide," Jemma says and you look down.

"You promised you wouldn't do it again." Maria sobs, letting the tears flow.

Daisy remains silent, crying as Bobbi's body shakes with sobs.

“Two weeks ago civilians were killed on a mission, I had to choose between saving a bus full of children and a group of innocent men and women… 18 people died that day and it was my fault. Wanda and Nat were on a mission in Germany and as soon as I got back to the tower I did, I locked myself in the bathroom and just let it go. " pause: «J.A.R.V.I.S called Dr. Strange as soon as I passed out, he was the one who saved me; he told me that he wouldn't say anything because according to fate he wasn't his job and then he left. I haven't seen him again "

Silence reigns in the room as Jemma carefully bandages your cuts.

"Are you going to try again?" Bobbi whispers and you swallow.

"I ... I don't know"

Jemma shakes your hand as she starts crying too.

"I'm calling Fury, we're all taking a nice vacation and overcoming this obstacle together" Maria smiles sweetly at you: "we'll spend the next three months together, like in the old days but there are rules:

-you must be checked by at least one of us, possibly Jemma, every day;

-you have to give us all the things you usually get hurt with ... y / n, all things;

-you have to swear that you will never do such a thing again, you know what I mean "

Maria stops talking and you nod, it will be really hard.

"Ah and Nat and Wanda must know"

She opens her eyes wide and shakes her head.

“No, I can't do this to them. It would destroy them "

"Finding you dead would have been better in your opinion?" Jemma snaps and you gasp before you nod, you would have told her that night.

When Natasha and Wanda enter your apartment, they are all sweaty and with a smile on their face.

"Printessa, we're home," Natasha yells.

Exit the kitchen, going to meet them and hugging them.

"Hey, I miss you," she whispers, leaving a kiss on both lips.

"You too," says Nat

"You don't know how boring it is to train without you." Wanda smiles, winking at you. You let out a laugh that stops immediately when you remember what you were about to reveal.

"I have to tell you something but you mustn't freak out" both take a worried look. They both look at you, waiting for you to continue the conversation.

You guide them to the bed and lie down between them, looking at the ceiling. Feel their looks burn on your cheeks.

"I tried to kill myself two weeks ago"

Their breaths stop and Natasha sits up, looking at you.

"W-what?"

"After the mission in Bahrain ... Strange saved me"

Wanda looks into your head and sees all your memories before passing them on to Nat too.

Wanda leans against the wall and Nat's legs are shaking.

She uncovered her wrists, showing them the deep cuts you had diligently hidden earlier.

Wanda covers her mouth with her hand, letting out the tears and a sob as she looks at your wrists with the pain imprinted on her face. Nat is frozen, his gaze fixed on your wrists as her tears roll down her cheeks.

You sigh as you run a hand over her face.

«Um ... the girls will come and stay with us for a while» you play with the elastic on your wrist: «I'm sorry, I ... I didn't really want to; I didn't give it had gotten so big, too, so much and- »the girls rush towards you and hold you in a strong hug.

«We love you, we cannot live without you; the only thought that you might not be here now ... "

You interrupt Wanda by kissing her and pulling Nat of her harder than her into her embrace.

“I'm here, we're fine; I'm not going anywhere "

A week had passed since that day and you no longer remembered what it meant to be alone. You didn't even have the bathroom to be alone, they had removed every key in the apartment and every object you could have hurt yourself with.

Jemma checked you every day, as did Nat and Wanda.

Get out of bed, extricating yourself from the grip of the Sokoviana noticing that the Russian side is cold.

You sigh shaking your head, if she doesn't train every day that girl goes into abstinence.

You go into the kitchen and go to the utensil drawer to get a spoon for the cereals; you shouldn't be there, cooking is off-limits to you but you're hungry and no one will find out ... right?

You open the drawer and your gaze lingers on the knives, your fingers touch the blade of the closest one and you bite your lip; you quickly slip one into your pocket before stopping to look at the others, I needed so badly that-

"What are you doing?" Maria's voice makes you jump and you quickly pull out a spoon. You turn to her and smile.

"Good morning to you; in my defense, I was just taking a spoon »you smile at Maria, trying to convince her. She nods and relaxes her shoulders.

"How did you sleep?" you ask, sticking the spoon into the bowl of milk.

"Certainly better than you"

You poke her tongue out as you bring the spoon into your mouth.

You think back to the knife, its weight in the pocket is like a boulder but you feel the need to use it, you feel it so much ...

Natasha walks in through the front door, taking off her headphones and throwing a smile at you, before coming up to you and leaving you a kiss on her lips.

"Good morning," you smile, kissing her back and stroking her sweaty hair.

"Is Wanda still in bed?"

You don't have time to reply that you hear the drawer you left open slam behind you and close as a red trail hovered in the air.

"Hey Wands what-" Natasha frowns, as does Maria.

You look down, suddenly finding the bowl really interesting.

"Y / n ..." Wanda whispers and her magic forces you to look into her eyes, you see pain and disappointment and it hurts: "take it out please"

She bites her lip, aware of the presence of all the girls, awakened by the sound of the drawer.

You reach into your pocket and squeeze the knife one last time before dropping it onto the kitchen counter. The silence that follows is deafening.

«Maria, put a padlock on the drawer; Jemma please check that nothing has been done »is Natasha speaking as you avoid her cold gaze.

"I didn't do anything," you whisper faintly.

"You didn't make it in time, you mean." Daisy taunts and you don't argue, you all know that's the only reason you didn't.

Jemma controls you anyway, changing your old bandages and, while she does, the other girls talk in the living room.

"Well, I did," Jemma says you nod, thanking her.

You look absently at the shield leaning against the wall and wonder, once again, why Steve gave it to you.

"He valued you very much you know, he always talked about how good you were and he was so proud ..." Bobbi whispers, she knew Steve personally and many years ago they had had an affair. You approach what she is now like a sister as she holds you in her arms.

Together you enter the living room and immediately the eyes of the other girls are on you.

"New rule: you don't go anywhere alone anymore"

You open your mouth to protest but Nat and Wanda's stares make you desist from doing so.

In less than ten minutes the other girls were back in their rooms and only the three of you were left.

"I'm sorry," you whisper, looking into her eyes.

"You're sorry you got caught," Wanda says and looks down.

"We love you too much, you understand that, don't you?" Natasha whispers and you nod as they both hold you in a hug.

Their phones ring and from their looks you know they can't refuse that call.

Kiss both of their heads before standing up and taking the bowl of cereal back onto the table, looking outside for a second.

Ironic how they hadn't thought of closing the windows that gave onto the balcony, after all you were on the 15th floor of a building. You look around and, seeing no one, you step out of the balcony and lean against the railing, eating your cereal and looking down.

A flight from that height was certainly a good flight. A flashback of those fifteen people you killed almost makes you drop your bowl, their screams, their pleas as they saw you abandon them and the pain and disappointment in their eyes ...

You look down again and think how much you deserve it, crushed on the asphalt like the insignificant person you are.

Put the bowl on the ground, before you easily climb over the railing and find yourself on the other side.

One more step and it all ends.

"Hey rockstar, guess who-" Bobbi freezes seeing you on the wrong side of the balcony.

"Rockstar ..." Bobbi whispers as she takes another step and you free yourself from your thoughts.

"Don't come near," you say, and your cold tone makes Bobbi tremble with worry. He quickly texts his girls about him, praying that they read it quickly.

“Love, you can't understand what just happened to us; Fury- »Wanda freezes and is forced to lean on her Nat, right behind her, when she sees what's going on.

"Honey, hey, it's us, we're here for you." Wanda takes a step but immediately takes her hand off the railing and their hearts skip a beat.

"Don't come near," she whispers, the same tone as before. It's like you are detached from your body and jumping off is the only thing you can think of. Your girls notice this and become even more worried.

"Y / n, do you think this will fix things?" Maria appears next to Bobbi and looks at your back.

"You already did it, you took a whole pack of pills and we stood by your side while we forced you to vomit them all up" Maria's voice trembles: "Were you better then?"

Put your second hand back on the railing, Jemma and Daisy are right behind you. Jemma with a sedative in her hands.

She starts sobbing and tears obscure your sight.

"I'm sorry you have to see it ... I love you," you whisper and close your eyes, letting yourself fall forward.

You hear the screams of the girls and close your eyes ready for impact but you feel yourself pulling and then you find yourself plated on the ground by Maria, Daisy, Bobbi and Nat as the red magic dissolves and Wanda catches her breath, her cheeks splashed with tears.

"What the fuck did you think you were doing?" Maria throws you to the ground in anger, the pain badly concealed.

"You're an idiot." Daisy sits up running a hand through her hair as she and Bobbi squeeze a sobbing Jemma.

Natasha and Wanda are motionless, in each other's arms, as tears roll down their cheeks.

Under the watchful eyes of Maria and Bobbi you sit up and approach your girls.

"Nat, Wanda ..." you whisper and you are shocked when Wanda slaps you so hard it makes your face turn.

"How could you ?! Do you know how many people we have lost, how do you think we would go on without you? !! " Wanda slams your hands on her chest and you let her vent, squeezing her in an embrace in which she immediately squeezes. You look at Nat and you see that she tries to be strong, you wave to her and in a moment, she is in your arms too.

"I saw my life jump off that balcony with you" at Natasha's words you lose a beat: "don't think you can do it again"

You slowly nod your head and kiss her on the head.

5B thoughts pt.3

5x20 - 5x22

5x20: The One Who Will Save Us All

“We're gonna show 'em who's in charge.” / “I feel like we're seeing this adventure a little differently.” last Coulson-Talbot duo run. goodbye, chaotic pair, i’m going to miss you

“It takes most people years to get a handle on their powers. You skipped the tutorial, went straight to big boss level.” oh look this is where Nathaniel Malick took notes

“Any idea why this one is more rabid than the rest?” / “Probably has something to do with [the Odium].” turns out Coulson will bring the pieces together

“Seems there's been a development with your Destroyer of Worlds project. Turns out, it's a go.” / “Daisy Johnson went into the machine?” i’m not even sure how Hale thinks infusing Daisy with gravitonium is ever a stellar option. she can already control vibrations, you want her to have a whole ‘nother power set?

“To protect the Earth from being attacked. / “In exchange for what?” /“Resources... Inhumans, and... gravitonium above all.” yikes.

“Couldn't you just find a fun game on your phone instead?” FOR REAL 😭😭😭

“Deke, thank God you're there.” yeah he's alright in here because the only other person in control is Fitz and i’m not about to let the writers shove 5x14 under the rug. also did this made him think she reciprocated his feelings? he is so dense if that were the case

“Coulson's missing because of you! After all your finger-wagging, the same rules don't apply to you?” / “You are the last person who should be giving a lecture right now.” okay, sure, mutiny, but Daisy wasn’t going to pretend getting poisoned just to prove that the world’s doomed. i see Yo-yo and Daisy are doing the same thing, just on opposing sides. (sides that shouldn't even EXIST at least for the two of them come on).

“What's in the bag? Is that what you abandoned us for?” to be fair, the Remorath came in unprovoked. she couldn’t have known (+future!Elena's warning, she doesn’t know the warning yet iirc). and i think it's not really abandoning if it gets them a shot to take down Talbot for good? they genuinely consider it in like two episodes.

“It's none of your business.” held my breath as Yo-yo looked in the bag. it’s a big decision for Daisy to dig up Jiaying. and yes, it is none of anyone's business because Daisy is Jiaying's daughter. and at this juncture, no one knows it’s Jiaying yet. (Yo-yo doesn't know it's her mom! she doesn't have grounds to say, "What's wrong with you?" when she doesn't even have context yet.) and i'm just saying, there are layers here, Daisy is still her daughter.

“We needed you. People died!” / “Don't put that on me!” CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT OMG DON’T TAKE SHIT LIKE THAT

“Also, some creep put a bunch of lemons on my bed as some weird sort of... prank.” / “Sounds like classic Fitz.” …no lol

this season is literally daisy not taking anyone blaming the shit on her and i respect that so much

“Everyone who gets close to me ends up dying.” / “Me too. And that's why I feel like we have so much in common-“ she just tells you her mom’s in the bag and still thinks it’s the perfect time to confess your crush. sure. okay. 100% foolproof.

“sounds like you were really in love with this guy.” / “Kind of still am." you can hear my heart splintering in a billion pieces

“That makes so much sense. You and Fitz are so…” what were you about to say? self-centered? egotistic? psychopaths? submerged in daddy issues? “you're such special people.” nice save.

“I was worried that it was gonna make things weird between us.” / “Wait, why would it make things weird?” HAH i’d say he deserved it

“This is like a room full of Democrats." i can't believe this is how I find out tha Talbot is a republican. I hate it here

“When does killing become the only way? We're S.H.I.E.L.D. Aren't we supposed to be better than that?" / "There are lots of instances in history where... where it was necessary to sacrifice the few, in order to save the lives of many." oh my God, he did not just say that

"Ruby was dangerous, and it got complicated and that is just the way it was. So, I'm sorry, if that doesn't fit... whatever narrative that you've built for yourself." okay, Ruby was dangerous and it did get complicated but Mack didn't make up a narrative. i think Fitz meant to say they have different perspectives but choosing the word 'narrative' is... he's implying that he thinks it was made up from crap. geniuses aren't humans if they don't make mistakes. they're–you're–not a saint, Fitz.

"You need to look inside yourself and figure out what kind of man you want to be. 'Cause lately, what you've been? It needs fixing." idk how much i owe Mack this season but he is the Man.

"We might be able to save Coulson, by combining [the Centipede serum] with my... mom's DNA." / "Oh, Daisy... this feels like we may be crossing a line." okay, Simmons, you did not just tell Jiaying's daughter that. she's her sole heir and next of kin, if this were in a court room, as far as I know, Daisy has actual legal grounds to make this decision. She's the only one who could make that decision. she was also born out of Hydra's meddling; Hydra kidnapping Jiaying in '89 literally changed the trajectory of Daisy's life and changed Jiaying into someone Daisy had to fight, someone Cal had to kill to protect their daughter (the fact that her daughter even needed that kind of protection from her...). again there are layers to this and i don't think this is lost on Daisy

"There are moral implications." also we threw out moral implications out the window like four seasons earlier let's be serious

"Thanos and his forces have begun an assault on your world, even as we speak." damn this early?

all in all, even though we lost the plot, this season makes for an interesting one, still. this time around, the progression felt natural except for Daisy and Yo-yo's fight, Fitz/the Doctor and Simmons almost drinking lethal acid. nevertheless it was interesting. still wayy better than season 6 for me

Every time I watch this series or come upon stills or anything, I wonder how she survived that degree of corseting. And still made world class television. Well done, ma gurl, well done!

[lonelystarbuckslover13]

Ok, hot take, but I think some people in this fandom need to learn how to have nuanced discussions and not immediately get defensive when it comes to Taylor. Fatphobia is not a clear-cut issue, it’s layered and complex and nuanced. Taylor’s struggle with her body image and eating disorder is VALID, and I do believe she has every right to share her journey with that through her art. That being said, plus sized people or others who also struggle with body image/eating disorders who found the ‘fat’ scale triggering in the anti-hero music video are also valid in their feelings. Both of these things can be true. Taylor is capable of hearing constructive criticism and deciding whether to take it or leave it. Had she felt that the ‘fat’ scale was an important aspect of the video for her she did not have to cut it. As much as there was criticism over this part of the video, there was also a lot of people defending it, so I don’t think this was an instance in which there was overwhelming pressure on her to cut it out. This is further proven by the fact that she’s not released any kind of statement about this part of the video, nor has she been expected to do so. It just seems as though she’s taken on the feedback and decided that cutting that portion of the video was the best call and we should respect that decision and appreciate that she makes an effort to be mindful with her platform and is open to constructive criticism. I personally think the edited version is great - removing the ‘fat’ part and just having the ‘bad’ Taylor look down at the scale and shake her head gets the message across without using language that could be very triggering for many people who see the video. I know defending Taylor in this situation comes from a place of empathy for her experience with body image and ED, but please extend that empathy to all people who struggle with body image and ED and remember that many of those people are going to be watching this music video. Also be respectful of how Taylor herself chooses to take on feedback and what she chooses to do with her art.
