👀 timkon “If you killed me, my last words would be ‘I love you.’”

"...Does it bother you?"

Tim's voice is steady, but he knows Kon knows him better than to fall for it. Kon's posture is casual, relaxed, even indolent; his eyes haven't left the computer screen, however, and Tim knows him well enough to know it's because he doesn't want to meet Tim's gaze.

Talking to Kon isn't supposed to feel like a game of chess. A stone of dread sinks in Tim's stomach. This conversation was a gamble, but god, he was really hoping it wouldn't be like this.

"Pfff, nah, man." Kon finally tears his gaze away from the list on Tim's laptop, looks over at him. "Just 'cuz it psyched me out when we were kids doesn't mean I don't get it now. I mean, I'm in good company. You got Kal, Cassie, Bart, Cass... I'd be insulted if I wasn't on here!"

His laugh is forced. Now the dread is a knife, twisting in Tim's gut.

But then Kon's gaze drops again, and he sighs, his broad shoulders slumping. His fingers skim the edge of the laptop's casing before they fall back to his side. When he speaks, this time, his voice is genuine.

"Plus, it's... a good thing. I don't wanna know your plans, I don't wanna have any opportunity to even think about how I'd get around 'em—if you ever think I need to go down, I trust your judgment. Just look at last time."

Alarm bells begin to ring in Tim's mind. That hollow, somber note in Kon's voice. Tim hasn't heard it in over a year, maybe more; he thought Kon was doing better, that he finally realized that the mind control wasn't his fault. He thought being honest about still having backup contingencies would be good for them both. He thought—

And then Kon says it.

"I'd probably be grateful, if things went down so that you had to whip that bad boy out. Hell, if you killed me, my last words would be 'I love you', I bet."

If you killed me. The words ring like a death knell.

Tim whirls on him, furious.

"How could you say that?" he demands, hands clenched into fists in the sleeves of his sweater. His heart pounds a wild, panicked beat. "How could you fucking say that, Conner?"

Kon backpedals instantly, holding both hands up in surrender. "Whoa—hey, sorry, shit, okay, I didn't mean to upset you—"

"I could never!"

He needs to understand. Tim needs him to understand, a frenzied desperation clawing its way up his chest and licking like tongues of flame into his throat. Kon needs to know, he needs to understand, he needs to know—

"I could never kill you," Tim swears. His legs move on their own, closing the distance from the window seat to his desk, and he grabs a fistful of Kon's shirt. "I could never, ever, ever fucking kill you, how could you say—I couldn't, I couldn't—"

"Tim!"

Kon's hands catch his elbows, a gentle thread of TTK running up his arms to his shoulders. Kon's eyes are wide, his lips slightly parted; this close to him, Tim can smell his lip balm (strawberry-scented, lightly glossy, sheer and pink). He wants to kiss him. Knows from experience that that lip balm tastes ever-so-slightly sweet against his mouth when he does. Kon always has a tube in his pocket. He's always trying to get Tim to use it, too, complaining about his lips being chapped from the night wind.

How could he think Tim would ever—how could Tim have ever let him think he'd ever—

"Hey, I'm sorry, okay? You're right, I shouldn't have said that, I was just being stupid like usual." Kon gives his arms a gentle squeeze. His eyes are so cyan-blue, luminous in the afternoon sun, they're nearly painful to look at.

"Do you think I would?" Tim has to know. The answer might break his heart, but he knows with a dull certainty that he has to know. "Do you think I ever could?"

Kon closes his eyes and lets out a long, slow exhale. His eyelashes are thick and dark against his golden-brown cheeks. "...No," Kon finally says, and something loosens in Tim's chest. "And I hope I never fuck up bad enough to put you in that spot."

"You won't." Tim bows his head, heart pounding with relief. His brow rests against Kon's collarbone, and he tucks his face into him, hiding against his chest. "That's why I plan ahead, that's why I think about all the possibilities—I won't ever let anything get to that point. I won't. It's—I have to protect you, don't you get it?"

Kon sucks in a breath.

"Tim," he says; he sounds like someone just sucker-punched the breath from his lungs. "Sunshine."

"I'm not losing you again." Tim's fingers curl into his shirt again, holding on fiercely. "So—so don't go thinking shit like that. This isn't—it has nothing to do with me not trusting you."

"I never said it did," Kon says, his voice soft. One of his hands settles tenderly over the nape of Tim's neck; he caresses a lock of Tim's hair between his thumb and forefinger, and Tim's heart stutters with helpless, poignant fondness.

He lifts his head, looks up at those blue eyes again. Kon quirks his lips in a slight, genuine smile, and the last of the dread in Tim's stomach melts away like snow in the afternoon sun.

"I love you too, though," he says.

We're okay, right?, he doesn't say, but Kon hears anyway, because he smiles and leans in to lean their foreheads together, and their noses brush. The smattering of little freckles across his cheeks is beyond endearing.

Yeah, we're okay, that smile says. Tim tips his face up and kisses him, soft and slow; when he draws back, the faintest hint of familiar berry-flavored sweetness lingers on his lips.

if I had the opportunity to go back in time to beat up any one historical figure, it would be henry ford.

at first thought, I figured it would be henry kissinger because you know. it’s henry kissinger. but I quickly decided against it, because in this hypothetical, everybody is being given this opportunity and any good leftist hates henry kissinger so the line to get a shot at him would be so fucking long and at that point why bother.

so I swung back too far and considered rob ford briefly, he’s less well-known and would have a much shorter line, but the scale of his damage is limited to the ripple effects of the what he did to toronto and I figure there’s enough people in toronto to deal with him. I’m not even from toronto. (similarly, new yorkers can take care of robert moses)

the happy medium is ultimately henry ford. there would probably still be a line but much more manageable than henry kissinger, and much more satisfying than rob ford.

#rein rambles #do any of you even know who rob ford is #henry ford #he’s my arch enemy. not that he knows or cares but he is.#he may be long dead but in a just world i would get to fist fight him

Girl you're calling that a sex scene? That was the ART OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. You are the best at what you do and I'm sorry I know I'm shameless but your fic got me thinking, understanding the boys as good as you do, how do you think Yo Han would react if he got some indications or evidence that Ga On is cheating on him? Not that I'll ever believe Ga On to be capable of it, but I'm just wondering if some signs pointed that way, what do you think Yo Han would do or think?

I have to say, this ask nearly gave me a heart attack x'D Because the notification only said: "Girl you're calling that a sex scene? That was" before it cut off, so I definitely had time to start panicking, wondering just how terrible that sex scene must have been. A part of me didn't even want to open the ask x'D

It was fine once I did, obviously, but man, I was scared there for a second.

ANYWAY. I think Yo Han's reaction depends on how long they've been together. And also what kind of hints and evidence he's seeing, of course, but his actions depend mostly on how long they've been together and how secure he feels in their relationship.

Like, I think that after a couple of years, once they've gotten settled, gotten better at communicating, and Yo Han has learned that no, he won't actually end up devouring Ga On because Ga On has enough darkness of his own to withstand whatever Yo Han can throw at him, he'll calm down significantly. He'll realise that Ga On doesn't want someone else and, even if Ga On did, he's bold enough to just flat-out say that. He wouldn't go behind Yo Han's back and cheat — he'd tell Yo Han to his face that he's found someone else and wants to separate.

Not that Ga On ever would, but he's too honest and righteous to sneak around and lie, basically.

So, like, after a certain point, even if they ended up in the cliché, dramatic scenario where Ga On comes home with lipstick on his shirt collar, Yo Han's first thought wouldn't be: "Are you cheating on me?" but rather: "Did someone try to assault you?"

Quickly followed by: "Who is she?" and "Where does she live?"

Yo Han, NO.

And when Ga On explains that he was just trying to help a drunk woman get a taxi home and she collapsed against him as they were waiting and must have smudged lipstick on his collar as she did so, Yo Han would just go: "Yeah, that checks out. That's definitely something Ga On would do — and much more reasonable than him cheating on me."

(Partly also because Yo Han kind of expects that if Ga On truly was cheating on him, despite all odds, he would be much better at hiding the evidence. He trained his sugar baby better than that, okay?)

But if it's earlier in their relationship? When Yo Han still thinks that he's going to suffocate or scare Ga On away? And Ga On hasn't learned to open up yet? So he won't tell Yo Han what he's feeling and thinking? Then things might develop differently — and can turn quite ugly, unfortunately.

Like, it can start with something as simple as Ga On being tired. Perhaps work is being difficult — forcing him to stay late a lot — and maybe it's getting close to the anniversary of Soo Hyun's death and Ga On is closing himself off more than usual. But Ga On doesn't want to bother Yo Han with something as silly as him being tired, or reawaken the jealousy Yo Han feels towards Soo Hyun, so he just doesn't say anything. And tells white lies when Yo Han asks if something is wrong. But Yo Han would notice that Ga On starts brushing him off, is home less often, and probably isn't as physically affectionate as he usually would be.

And once the thought that Ga On might be cheating on him appears, it'd be difficult for Yo Han to let it go. He'd probably push it aside at first, with the very reasonable explanation that, no, Ga On is too honest and good for something like that. But it would resurface the next time Ga On brushes him off, and get even worse when Ga On seems tense and a little awkward when he hugs Yo Han — as if he's feeling uncomfortable.

Or guilty.

And Ga On is feeling guilty, because he's missing Soo Hyun and he knows that Yo Han wouldn't like that if he knew. And so Ga On clams up even more, refusing to talk about it. But Yo Han would assume it's because of something else — something even worse.

And, sadly, once the suspicion gains hold, I think Ga On would be guilty until proven innocent in Yo Han's mind. Because Yo Han is never wrong, right? So, clearly, it's just a matter of finding the evidence. And so he'd try to find said proof by invading Ga On's privacy, having him followed and investigated — all that unacceptable shit Yo Han does. Because now Yo Han has something to prove and he'd lose sight of the fact that, in doing so, he might just be causing an even bigger problem that will, sooner or later, blow up in his face. He'd lose himself to the hunt.

Because it's not like there will ever come a time when he goes: "Okay, I've had Ga On followed for three weeks now and he hasn't done anything, that probably means he's not cheating on me." It'd be: "He just hasn't slipped up yet."

On pure habit, he'd start treating Ga On like a target — like someone he has to expose.

And since Yo Han can't exactly talk to Ga On about this — who is now one of the few people who'd try to hold Yo Han back when he crosses the line (R.I.P. K, we miss you) — there's literally nothing stopping him. And so it just becomes a question of what happens first: Ga On figuring out that Yo Han is having him followed for some reason, Ga On catching Yo Han invading his privacy, or Ga On getting unsettled enough by Yo Han's behaviour to ask what the hell is going on.

Because Yo Han wouldn't be able to just keep behaving normally. He's a good actor, yes, but Ga On knows the difference between Yo Han's genuine affection and when he's trying to fake it. And Yo Han has to start faking it after a while, once his doubts grow strong enough. Because it's difficult to keep giving it your all when you think your partner is cheating on you.

And Ga On would be able to tell when Yo Han starts acting weird. But there's also a danger that he might assume that it's because Yo Han has figured out what's going on with Ga On. As in, Ga On thinks that the displeasure he's picking up on is lingering jealousy over Soo Hyun, not this new threat that Yo Han has conjured up in his mind. Because the day Soo Hyun died is a date both of them know, and all that. So, maybe, Ga On wouldn't actually say anything at first, afraid that would just make Yo Han more agitated.

Meanwhile, Yo Han would be so goddamn confused because he really didn't think Ga On was this good of an actor. Because despite a bit of awkwardness, Ga On is still mostly himself, not showing nearly as much guilt as Yo Han had expected. Yo Han is surprised that Ga On can act that well.

(It's because he's not acting, you pickled cucumber)

So, most likely, I'd say that it all comes to a head when Yo Han gets caught snooping. Either because Ga On figures out that, yes, he truly is being followed, or catches Yo Han looking through his phone or something. And the resulting argument would, uh, not be pretty.

Because even if some part of Ga On could probably see that Yo Han's actions are mostly founded in insecurities — Yo Han thinking he doesn't deserve Ga On, being sure he'll scare him away eventually, thinking Ga On can easily find someone better, etc. — it's also incredibly painful to hear that Yo Han thought he'd do something like that. Like, I think Ga On could forgive the invasion of privacy and light stalking relatively easily, but the fact that Yo Han genuinely thought he'd cheat on him? That his trust in Ga On and Ga On's devotion to him is apparently that weak?

That hurts.

And, sure, Yo Han's doubts are understandable to some degree but, as per usual, it's the way he chooses to act on them that's the biggest problem. Instead of having Ga On followed like a criminal, he should have just asked to have an adult conversation about it.

Not at all helped by the fact that Yo Han would, of course, get defensive when Ga On points this out, and insist that he had very good reasons because Ga On was behaving so weirdly. Which of course means that Ga On has to explain why that is, and then Yo Han does end up feeling jealous over the whole Soo Hyun thing again, but also kind of terrible because Ga On has been suffering for weeks and he didn't notice. Like, jealousy and all that aside, Yo Han still loves Ga On with every fibre of his being and wants to protect him from everything that can hurt him — including the lingering grief after Soo Hyun's death. Ga On shouldn't suffer, period.

And it's not until after he's had that thought that Yo Han suddenly realises just how badly he's fucked up. Because Ga On would definitely be crying by then, in between the angry yelling. Like, Yo Han only has to look at him and see how devastated Ga On is, and then he'd realise that's all on him. It's Yo Han's fault.

He did that.

And, in that moment, Yo Han would also realise that he isn't immune to the concept of self-fulfilling prophecies. Since, in all the time he and Ga On has been together, this is definitely the closest he's actually come to scaring Ga On away. Because Ga On would, at the very least, move out of their shared bedroom for a while after that. If he still has his apartment, he might even go so far as to return there, too hurt and humiliated to stay at the house.

(Let's hope Elijah is somewhere else — exploring the world or something — because, otherwise, she would smack the everloving shit out of Yo Han)

And so they would both be miserable for a while and, not so surprisingly, Yo Han would feel terrible. Like, that man would spiral, probably faster than he ever has in his entire life. Because, understandable trauma and insecurities aside, this is his fault. The situation got out of hand because of his choices. And Yo Han can't say for sure if Ga On will be able to forgive him.

Meanwhile, Ga On has the dubious benefit of being the wronged party. Which, in theory, means you'll be hurt and angry, but don't have to take the blame onto yourself quite as much. Or at least it would — unless you're Kim Ga On. Whose abandonment issues run so deep he's rivalling the Mariana Trench. He'd of course begin to wonder if, just maybe, it's his fault. Maybe this happened because of something he did. He must have done something to make Yo Han doubt him that much.

And, tragically, that's probably what will eventually make him reach out to Yo Han again. Because Yo Han certainly won't try to approach Ga On but, for once, it'd be more out of guilt than pride.

And he'd be wary — then horrified — when Ga On comes to him and instead of being angry, Ga On is just sad and subdued and asks what he did wrong. What did he do to lose Yo Han's trust? Should he have been kinder? Less abrasive? Less angry? What can he do to earn it back?

Had he made Yo Han feel unloved? Neglected? Unappreciated?

Or was the love Ga On had to give simply not enough?

Should he give Yo Han more? Try harder? Be less of a burden?

And Yo Han would shatter.

Because there is not a single part of Yo Han that sees Ga On as a burden. And of course Ga On's love is enough. It's literally impossible for Ga On to give more than he already is.

It would break Yo Han's heart, especially since he can tell how desperate Ga On is. That if Yo Han told him that, yes, he has to try harder, Ga On would. Ga On would do whatever it took to try and fix this problem he now thinks he's the cause of. And, what's worse, Yo Han knows he could use that to push the blame away from himself. If Yo Han wants to spare his own pride and come out the victor, all he has to do is let Ga On believe it's his fault. And it would be so easy, since Ga On is already halfway there, all on his own. Ga On wouldn't even argue.

Suddenly, Yo Han has to make a choice between his own pride — his own kneejerk reaction to never admit to a fault, never appear weak, and never surrender — and Ga On's well-being.

And the only thing Yo Han has to guide him is his own sense of morals.

Which, as we all know, are not only questionable but, a lot of the time, entirely optional.

He'll obviously pick Ga On's well-being in the end — he loves him too much not to — but Yo Han hates himself for even considering the other option. Never mind that it's based on childhood trauma and years of abuse, Yo Han hates that his first instinct is to save himself, at Ga On's expense. That realisation, more so than admitting he's done wrong, makes him feel weak.

(... many of these answers are just (unintentionally) turning into various ways to make Yo Han break for some reason?)

And, to be entirely honest with you, I can't say exactly what Yo Han's reaction and actions would be without writing it in detail and following his thoughts more closely. Mainly because there are a couple of options and which one it ends up being will depend on literally the smallest shift in his and Ga On's expressions and mannerisms.

But what I can say is that it would be a struggle for him, both to find his words and keep his emotions in check.

And he would cry.

In that way we've seen him do in the drama, where his emotions overwhelm him to the point where not even he can stop them from spilling over. So not violently or anything — he'd try to talk through it, pretending it's not happening — but he would cry. Because he'd feel so wretched over how far he's accidentally pushed Ga On. Like, forcing Ga On to the point where he'd go: "Should I be less angry? Should I give you more? Will you love me then?" is exactly what Yo Han has always criticised Soo Hyun and Professor Min for. And now he's done it himself.

But, thankfully, that also means he's going to be pretty damn motivated to fix this. Sure, some part of him might feel that, maybe, he should just let Ga On go if this is what happens when Yo Han is left to his own devices, but he's a little too selfish for that. And, deep down, he knows that Ga On wouldn't actually want Yo Han to let go.

So they would Talk.

And it would be awkward and kind of stilted for them both, but, in the long run, they both love each other too much not to. And sure, the pain and doubts wouldn't magically go away, but they'll keep working on it. And, if nothing else, the whole disaster will teach them just how important it is to communicate — even if the issue might seem small at first glance.

Like, yes, Yo Han shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and gone to the lengths that he did, but if Ga On had been a bit more open, maybe Yo Han wouldn't have. That's not to say it was Ga On's fault — Yo Han was the one to blame — but it could have been avoided if Ga On hadn't tried to keep his suffering to himself.

Communication is key, and all that.

SO YEAH.

Something like that.

There is also a middle option that would probably happen when they are, unsurprisingly, somewhere in between these two scenarios. As in, they've been together for a while so Yo Han feels a bit more secure (and his Abyss tendencies have softened a bit), but not secure enough to just brush it off. Then I think he would be tempted to have Ga On followed and that whole shebang but, after some thinking, he'd realise how much Ga On would hate that. And, eventually, he decides to just ask Ga On instead.

And Ga On will look at him and go: "I'm sorry, what? And give you a reason to start planning another unhinged, ten-year-long revenge plot?"

Which, Yo Han can admit — fair point.

And then they'd actually talk it through, too, and Yo Han can (grumpily) explain why he's feeling insecure and Ga On can (patiently) explain why he doesn't have to. And smother Yo Han with little kissies until he stops being such an idiot.

... at this point, I'm basically writing fics in these answers, aren't I? x'D

AH WELL. Thank you so much for your kind words (even if they gave me a scare) and thank you for the interesting question! Clearly, I had a lot to say on this subject.

Take care! 💜

What does Bruce think of Edward smoking?

Really dislikes it bc he worries about his health. However, Edward does not take well to criticism or what he perceives to be attempts at control. This pairs badly with Bruce's attitude: he is used to being in charge and can be pretty blunt about it, I mean we all saw Batman openly telling people what to do in that gruff authoritative voice. That is Bruce's reflexive response to seeing Edward smoke (after they already get together), and it does NOT work well with Edward. Eddie may even escalate a Problematic Behavior when he notices it bothers someone and that there are attempts to forbid it (this quality did not make reformation easy xD). So at some point, Bruce figured out that telling him to stop is not going to work. Their whole relationship is a huge exercise in compromise and in two strong stubborn personalities attempting to learn to live with each other in a somewhat healthy manner.

So after the initial bullheaded "Stop that right now." "Like hell I will, I'm not your sidekick to boss around!" power plays were over, they managed to hammer out an agreement. Edward smokes a lot less now than he used to. When he does smoke, Bruce doesn't comment on it and does not make The Face (he knows which). Neither of them is perfectly happy with this, but isn't that a definition of a compromise? XD

I may sometimes draw Bruce giving Edward a light bc of The Aesthetic (tm), but in reality, I am not sure he would do that, at least not happily. I guess he may be persuaded to do it, but he will definitely make The Face then.

In short: it's similar to the Edward vs Alfred conflict over smoking, though for Alfred it was more about whether Eddie smokes in the Manor and a need to hammer out a compromise around that, while for Bruce is more about how much Eddie smokes. If it's not super often, he will tolerate it, so Edward goes from being a chain smoker during his Riddler days to being an occasional smoker. But yeah, before they got there, there was conflict.

Thank you for the ask! Cheers :D

#batman #edward nygma #riddler #edward nigma #batriddler #riddlebat #myart #reine-du-sourire #sorry for the overly long rant! x.x everytime I go back to shorten it it somehow gets longer....#tw smoking

Thinking of an immortal Amos but with Yae vibes. She's bored. She's disconnected. Her lover doesn't get her. She loves him. She wanders the tower while he's locks himself away occupied, and when she sees him he gives gifts upon gifts but never reacts to her thoughts and wants.

She's been alive for too long. Everyone she knows and loves growing up is dead. New people born and die. No one knows her. She's the human lover of the tyrant who does nothing against the tyrant. When's the last time she held her bow?

She's bored. She doesn't bother getting to know these new humans. They look at her the same. They're fun while they're alive. They all regard her with the same suspision, one who betrayed humanity for the riches of a god. Why not toy with those assumptions. No one believes she too longs for the seas and skies

A bard walks in and he has a dream. His determined eyes says he'll cast the tyrant down. How funny, from such a young boy. He'll see her as the enemy, as they all do. He'll try and he'll fail and he'll believe she helped strike his rebellion down. Maybe she will. She's bored, she's been alive with the tyrant for too long, no one will accept her, she may as well have some fun with this wanna-be rebel

He sings of skies and flight and she's amused. Only the young can dream like that, she's old and weary. She's bored, but she's still the lover of the tyrant and that gives her some power. So she has the guards look the other way when he sings, and echos his words to the nobles to watch how they yearn.

The little guy's fearless, maybe even overconfident. She picks up and draws her bow on him once or twice for show (never to hurt him, she doesn't want to lose this toy yet) to see how he'll react. She can see how he hates her. He doesn't know she's keeping him and his tunes of dissent safe. She laughs in approval at his refusal to back down and he takes it as mockery

He sings of skies and seas and she's reminded. Reminded of how she too misses a life beyond the barrier, the tower, where she's also free. Her lover is busy banning another tune. She hums it as she walks through the halls. She braids her hair as the rebels do, feathers hanging off that strand. Her lover's too busy and full of assumptions to know what it means. That bard still hates her, thinks she's making a mockery of his cause.

It's been so long and this is the most fun she's had in centuries. She finds herself dreaming again of the world beyond. Instead, she sneaks out of the tower and follows her heart, winding down a back alley where the bard quietly sings to a small creature hiding in his scarf from the bitter winds (she's never been affected by the winds from her lover, the role comes with its occational benefits).

She sings with this boy hundreds of years younger than her. She hums one of the banned tunes he wrote, and adds a clumsy verse about the seas and forests to compliment his skies. Eloquent and clever, he makes known unsaid in no uncertain terms that she will never be trusted. She can see in his eyes that he believes he'll be executed in hours (though will fight to the bitter end), caught by the one closest to the tyrant himself, and she can't help one more jab at him — who does he think is behind the guards never looking his way, always leaving him a route for escape? What, did he truly think dozens of his tunes were banned under the tyrannt's gaze but he was always so lucky to get away at the last moment? Interesting little thing, to believe he did it unhelped

The next time she sees him is months later. More songs are banned, some words are banned, unrest is brewing and this time he seeked her out. She is bored and disillusioned and no longer believes her lover to be capable of love. So she follows him whereever he takes her, and leaks vital information about the security of the tower. He asks her what her lover is like and she tells him all she knows and feels. She can tell in these months apart he's given her too a lot more thought, drew his own conclusions between the stories about her and her own words and dreams.

And offers her a part in their rebellion

#genshin amos #genshin talk #i think being alive for so long with a lover that doesn't love her as she loves him would screw with her perception of other humans #not to mention. how does. the rebellion trust someone who for all intents and purposes looks like she's on the side against them #she's kinda like eula in a way. why not lean into that image of someone who'll execute the rebellion without a second thought #eh she's bored and doesn't view these humans who come and go as anything important why not give them some hope they'll succeed #(she's caught feelings now no she hasn't yes she has)#anyway i like the idea of amos as a bit of a mischevious trickster type when she's not around deca #bc god damn what else does she do after being alive for centuries #in a position of power (but second to another who isn't keeping tight reins on her) and no one she really cares for
