#nina the woman that you are

“Women like me don’t sleep. We know that the night is no friend of us. Night does things, brings people, swallows you up. Night never makes you forget but it enters dreams to make you remember. Night is a game where I wait, I count off until I see the little pink streak cut through our window and I go outside to see the sun rise over the sea. And congratulate myself for making it, because I swear, every night. Every night.”

- Nina Burgess from ‘A Brief History of Seven Killings’, by Marlon James

Listen to me

I will never not be grateful for the women depicted in Old Gods of Appalachia

ESPECIALLY having less feminine women without making them feel any less attractive. The way that Glory Ann Boggs is described as being tall and broad, a clear working woman even in her twilight years? Heavenly. Every moment spent on Marcie Walker and her large, protective body juxtaposed to her smaller and more cutting sister Ellie? Glorious. Hell, even just mentioning Nina Jennings in a smart, pinstripe suit that matches her car. POETRY!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!

"what is a woman" a person who says they are a woman next question. "what is a man" a person who says they are a man next question. "so you just believe anything people tell you?" well yeah I mean I assume most people are speaking in good faith in most circumstances don't you? obviously depending on the situation and tone in which the speaker is speaking I may re-evaluate my good-faith belief in the words coming out of their mouth, but outside of any genuine evidence that someone is fucking with me, if someone tells me what gender and pronouns they use I will simply believe them and move on with my life. if they were fucking with me that's their problem now, because I will use the pronouns they told me until they tell me to stop and change pronouns, and whether this is out of genuine self-discovery or out of walking back on a dumb fucking transphobic prank out of shame I will continue to use whatever pronouns and name they most recently told me they go by, because it's really not that hard, and first and foremost I want to be a good trans ally and secondly if I can embarrass a transphobe in front of other people by making them confront the fact that their joke isn't funny I enjoy that also. next question?

I've seen people speculate about whether nancy reid was maybe intended to survive and come back as a vampire in s4 because the last time we see her she's not actually dead, and personally I think she was very close to that fate, she probably would have been able to swing it if only she'd paused before going to arrest mitchell to dye her hair brown and freed herself from the being human blonde woman vamp victim curse

*God -- or a brunette version thereof -- steps into the shop. If you've never seen the face of God in your dreams, she just looks like a weathered but handsome brunette in a black polka-dot dress.*

*Her gaze lands on the backpacker, the tea nerd, and the longhaired redhead weirdo. She gives them the Nod before she steps up to the counter *

She smiles sincerely but with effort and leans forward on the counter a little. Not like the other American, who seemed like he was asking you for some kind of secret favor, but like an old friend who's come into the shop to wait for you until you're off.*

Hi there, honey. How's it going?

*It's an American accent, flat like Iowa, creaky like an old barn door, husky like a blues player crying.*

Love the name of the shop. It's true, caffeine is life. I wouldn't be surprised if the perfect cup of coffee could wake the dead.

It's my first meal back here in a while. Just got off the plane, and I'm a little jet-lagged. What would you suggest?

*She tips you a wink that could either mean "Please sell me the most chocolatey pastry you have and as much caffeine as you are legally allowed, and do you have any cocaine btw, I'm fucking dying and trying so hard to keep it together" or "I'm ravingly horny and I think you're cute, do you want my hotel key and very expensive room service" depending on, well, what vibes you're capable of picking up. It could also easily be both.*

I-hmrmhmmm.

*in an absolutely flustered tone* itsgoingfine

*whispers under her breath* okay nina collect yourself you messy gay bitch

We've got a triple chocolate brownie (it's the sweetest thing we can sell. any more sugar and its a cardiac arrest guaranteed.) and I can make you a French press coffee with a meagre 10 shots of expresso in it.

If you experience any heart palpitations don't pin the blame on me.

"I can’t look," Jesper is making a fuss, one of the blades nicked his jacket in the riot, but you are relatively sure it didn't even break skin, but that doesn't stop him being... loud about it. "Tell me honestly," he grabs a hold of Wylan's arm, glaring him down like he could be the culprit, "how bad is it?" Wylan moves to open his mouth, but before he gets the chance to say anything, Jesper clasps a hand over Wylan's mouth. "No wait, don’t tell me, I have changed my mind."

"You're not even bleeding," Nina tells him.

"Not me," Jesper says, "the coat." You stifle a laugh and Jesper eyes you. "It's my best coat."

"Then let me," Wylan says, tugging the coat off. You tune out Jesper asking Wylan where he got a degree in coat mending, and Wylan trying to ignore him and his worried buzzing as he locates a needle and thread.

"You'd think he was losing a limb," you say. Inej shrugs.

"Jesper is... Jesper," Inej says, "he can be like that."

You look around and Nina is gently walking rounds of the room, while Kaz watches the chaos outside through a small slatted window.

"This all feels very unnecessary," you point out. Nina grins and crosses her arms, eagerly awaiting Kaz's response.

"Inej, how do I get revenge on my enemies?" Kaz asks. Inej looks up from where she was cleaning her knife.

"The best revenge in life is letting go and living well," Inej says, which is what he knew she would say and gets the expected hand gesture of dismissal for the statement.

"Wylan, how do I-,"

"Bomb," Wylan says, keeping his eyes on the stitching.

"So you claim this mess, is your strategy for revenge?" You ask Kaz. A smirk curls up in the corner of his lips and then the sound hits, the shaking of the building follows immediately after, and you nearly lose your footing. "Fuck."

"Bomb," Wylan says again, looking up. Jesper grabs the coat the moment Wylan's eyes are off it.

"You’ve done quite enough stitching," Jesper says, smoothing the fabric down. "Quite enough."

"You are welcome," Wylan says, pointing the needle at him.

"We are brushing over the literal bomb that just went off?" You ask. In turn everyone except Kaz shrugs. "Was I the only one not clued in?"

"I had no idea," Nina says, "but you kind of expect that from him."

You move towards the door and Kaz looks like he is about to give you an order but Nina's glare fixes his mouth shut, even if he wouldn't admit it. Nina follows you out, a gentle breather in the hallway, but you look at her and you forget how to breathe. Even the chaos couldn't make you forget Nina, make you any less enamoured by her. She didn't ask you to be here, she didn't have to, she never has to, there is nothing that could get between you and helping Nina and her strange little eclectic band of thieves she has come to call family.

"Ready to run for it?" Nina asks, giving you the space to move around and exercise out your stress.

"Are you?" You ask. She just sighs. "I am not going anywhere."

"You've got no skin in this... fight," she points out.

"I've got you," you remind her. Her cheeks are already pink enough that the blush is nearly unnoticeable, but you miss nothing when it comes to Nina. "I mean I don't... I haven't got you, you know what I mean."

She leans in closer, letting her arm rest against yours. "I don't know, I guess you could say you've got me," she says, "for what it's worth."

"Hey Nina," you say, letting your head rest in her hand as she cups your cheek, "I think I might be sort of in love with you."

"Sort of?" Nina asks.

"Is that okay?"

"Yeah, I think that is okay."
