lucky for me i have a natural screen time deterrent because everytime someone mentions an insane ED dieting trend on tiktok, which these days has been within less than 5 minutes from opening the app, im compelled to calmly set my phone down, walk outside barefoot until i reach the nearest body of water, stand in it, and then scream until my throat is so hoarse it wins the kentucky derby and eventually has to be shot after breaking its leg

explicitly not to get parasocial please do not make it like that, but tumblr fame is kind of like having a friend who you've known forever and you never ever talk but if you ever did it'd just be picking up wherever you left off. Like this website is full of people who are willing to just go "oh sweet the post is back" or something without questions. Site without expiration dates.

any fun updates in the bangs saga after like a month?

ooh look at me I have a thing for emotionally devastated catboys AND confirmation that the eyepatch works with the bangs

Happy New Year!!!

There are now officially only 12 days left to enjoy "Pacific Rim" as a movie portraying "futuristic events"!!!

Important dates to add to your calendar!!!

Between January 1 and January 8, 2025:

Striker Eureka is decommissioned from active combat.

Category IV Kaiju, Mutavore, breaks through Anti-Kaiju Wall and is killed by Striker Eureka, thus proving the Anti-Kaiju Wall ineffective.

Stacker Pentecost recruits Raleigh Becket for breach assault.

Raleigh Becket arrives at the Hong Kong Shatterdome.

Pilot tryouts with Raleigh Becket begin proper.

Raleigh and Mako nearly destroy the Shatterdome during their first attempt at drifting together in Gipsy Danger, prompting Stacker Pentecost to ground her, and inform Raleigh that he would be paired with another co-pilot.

January 8, 2025:

Double Event.

Newton Geiszler drifts with a Kaiju brain.

Category IV Kaijus, Leatherback and Otachi, emerge from the breach and attack Hong Kong.

Crimson Typhoon, Cherno Alpha, and Striker Eureka are deployed.

Crimson Typhoon is destroyed and the Wei Tang brothers are killed by Otachi.

Cherno Alpha is destroyed and the Kaidanovskys are killed by Leatherback.

Striker Eureka is incapacitated by Leatherback's EMP, and Herc Hansen's arm is broken.

Since Gipsy Danger is analog and the only Jaeger able to withstand the EMP (don't ask! I didn't quite get that part!), Stacker finally agrees to let Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori co-pilot her in the field.

Stranded with an unresponsive Jaeger, Herc and Chuck Hansen decide they should do something really, really stupid climb on the top of the head of Striker Eureka and shoot at it with flare guns. For the record that was Herc's dumbass idea!

To absolutely no one's surprise, the flare guns do absolutely no damage to the Kaiju whatsoever, and they only manage to piss Leatherback off but still look badass doing it!

Gipsy Danger is deployed and saves Herc and Chuck Hansen 's sorry asses.

Chuck Hansen is revealed as a secret Gipsy Danger fanboy.

Leatherback and Otachi are killed by Gipsy Danger.

Otachi's baby Kaiju is born and dies via strangulation by umbilical cord during pursuit of Newton Geiszler.

January 12, 2025:

Triple Event.

Category IV Kaiju, Scunner and Raiju emerge from the Breach.

Since Herc Hansen is unable to co-pilot Striker Eureka with his son, Stacker Pentecost decides to take his place in the conn-pod.

Stacker Pentecost launches "Operation Pitfall", an assault involving Gipsy Danger and Striker Eureka on the Breach.

Category 5 Kaiju, Slattern, emerges from the Breach.

Raiju is killed by Gipsy Danger.

Striker Eureka self detonates thermonuclear bomb near the Breach, killing Scunner and a bunch of fishes and badly wounding Slattern.

Slattern is killed by Gipsy Danger.

Gipsy Danger uses Slattern's dead body as a "bar code" to grant them access to the Anteverse through the Breach.

Raleigh Becket sends Mako Mori to safety in her escape pod after she loses consciousness upon entering the Anteverse.

Raleigh Becket arms Gipsy's nuclear reactor to self-destruct, destroys the Breach, and narrowly manages to escape the Anteverse through his own escape pod before the Breach collapses.

Herc Hansen stops the War Clock!

Even out of the game, some ties never break.

Tucker Foley had long since traded late-night ghost hunts for late-night diaper changes. He had a home, a wife, two kids, and a job that didn’t involve ecto-blasters or portal breaches. Sam Manson, meanwhile, was the very picture of high society—on the surface. Draped in tailored silk and smothered by parental expectations, she was the darling daughter of the Manson family, made to smile, nod, and play her part.

But beneath it all? They were still Danny’s people.

So when whispers reached them—rumors that the Lost Hunter had gone silent, that Danny had been taken—they didn’t hesitate. No hesitation. No discussion. They dusted off what was left of their old lives.

The location was an abandoned observatory, still humming faintly with spectral residue. Pointdexter was there—older, jittery, and still the kind of ghost who tried to play both sides if it meant survival. He hadn’t expected the ambush. Certainly not from them.

The moment he phased through the wall, he was met with a clang as Sam cracked a muffin pan across his face, knocking his glasses askew. She stood over him in a black designer coat, still wearing her family’s pristine image like a costume she couldn’t take off.

“Talk,” she said coolly, adjusting her gloves like this was just another afternoon tea.

Tucker stood a few paces back, clean-shaven, collared shirt partially unbuttoned, a toothpick hanging from the side of his mouth. He looked tired, like the years had finally caught up to him, but there was still that fire in his eyes. Still the man who once helped hack a thermonuclear ghost device with a broken tablet and a hot pocket.

Pointdexter stammered as he hovered midair. “I-I don’t know anything. I swear—!”

Tucker rolled his eyes. Took the toothpick out. Clicked off the safety of his old ecto-gun.

“You know, I gave this up for warm milk and bedtime stories,” he said. “But if you don’t start talking? I’m not afraid to remind myself how it feels.”

That got Pointdexter sweating spectral bullets.

“Okay, okay! I heard something—one of Vlad’s labs, the one beneath the old Axion tower in Neo-Gotham. Danny went dark after going in. That’s all I know—I swear!”

Tucker sighed, reholstering the gun. “See? That wasn’t so hard.”

Sam leaned in close, her voice ice. “If you’re lying, we’ll be back. And next time? I bring the cookie sheet.”

As they left, Tucker looked at her, smirking. “Muffin pan?”

She shrugged. “It was nonstick.”

They may not have been the heroes of this story anymore.

But they still had Danny’s back.

Hiii can you write a Ivan x reader fic where reader has vision impairment?

Ivan loves stars, so he takes reader to stargaze with him. He yaps about the stars and what they mean (he read a lot of books about them) all night long. Reader doesn't really see anything in the sky, so they don't know what he's talking about but they love hearing him talk. They listen to the things Ivan says about the stars and imagine them themself.

When the nights end, they write down everything in a diary, drawing the stars according to what they think they'd look like. Ivan doesn't know about Reader's vision impairment. So, when Reader gave him their diary for him to read, he saw all the things he said written down with multiple wrong pictures drawn above.

LOVE YOUR WRITING BTWWW!!!

✧╰┈➤ ❝Youre my star!❞ Ivan x Reader *ੈ✩‧₊˚

!! - Fluff, gn reader, ivan and reader are adults already so Alien Stage starts soon!! Reader has vision impairment (i had to do a little research so i hope its writted correctly D:), reader is kinda shy. -> I put a small answer at the endd <3

A star.

A star is a concept you heard many times since childhood, but yet you were never able to see it. A star is always described to you as something gorgeous in the sky, but your eyes arent able to see it— Ah, you feel envy for missing things that are small for others.

Such a foreign concept was explained many times since years ago to you by Ivan, a guy who got into the same season of Alien Stage as you and, luckily, became close one random day —without even asking for permission to follow you around— thanks to ANAKT GARDEN. It didnt feel that bad, the lessons you received there, thanks to Ivan being by your side.

It became a tradition that atleast one night of the week, you two would go to the garden part of ANAKT to look at the sky while he ranted your ear off about the visible stars— something he admired a lot and loved how you heared everything he had to say. Everytime he learned something new, he was excited to find you since you would actually hear him, but he kept them for those special nights at the end.

But still, there were unspoken things between you two, even if those nights were completely honesty for both. The definition of "lie" doesnt enter in this concept, or atleast thats what you two think, since there was never the need to mention that you didnt see the stars as Ivan did— or that he never mentioned that the sky of the garden in ANAKT was artificial and just a recreation of the outside.

Night had fallen, and Ivan came to your room to guide you to the garden, where you lay on the grass to watch the stars together— even if you werent able to. Ivan laughs slightly and started talking as always, but an idea came to your mind. Maybe if you paid more attention than usual, listening to him intently, you could try to draw a star from his descriptions and finally see if you truly knew what a star was.

"You know, the other day i read on a book that for at least part of its life, a star shines due to the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in the core of it, which releases energy. This energy travels through the star's interior and is then radiated into outer space!" - Ivan started ranting and you blinked confused

You got frozen for a moment— thermonuclear fusion? helium? The hell is that!? and was he really allowed to read those books? You didnt have an idea what he was talking about right now since it seems today's talk goes more to the scientific side than the 'stars are pretty' side...

Still, you tried your best to hear his explanation, trying to imagine what a star would look like...energy? So its like a ball? a white ball...? You usually didnt interrupt Ivan, letting him make the flow of the conversation, but since today you were curious, you asked him small questions about some words you didnt know the meaning of or tried to figure out the shape of a star

After letting Ivan rant you of the stars a couple of hours, he guided you to your room again since tomorrow the lessons with the guardians start pretty early, he didnt want you to be tired. He smiles teasingly at you while walking.

"You know, youre like my star! Youre just as bright at them!"

You couldnt help but blush slightly, touched by his compliment. Even if you had never seen one, you trusted him— trusted that they were utterly gorgeous, and thats why he talked about them so much to you. Your smile made Ivan's heart ache for warmth. Couldnt he keep talking about stars in your bedroom? Would that be wrong?

"Really...? Then, youre my star too Ivan!" - The smile you gived him spoke volumes between you two, but Ivan rarely decided to not push it. Patting your head and going away so you can rest.

But as you entered your solitary room, you knew pretty well you werent gonna rest today. You focused your energy on making several notes in a small journal you had, filling it with lots of informations, several question marks and certain information marked with exclamations— other totally scratched because you dont remember if Ivan said it or you didnt understand it.

Once you thought that the information was done by now, you started to try sketching it, but it was hard— how could something that produces light be spiky but also different when you see it on the sky? It was a hard concept to draw, more since the only part you remember from how stars look are small fragments of Ivan's rants and the cientific explanation of today— it was making your drawings looks like you were falling into madness, you kinda were though...

Being in a room with four walls, no windows, and no clock made it difficult to know what time it was— but you knew you had been on this for a while. The way your head hurt from trying to understand what the heck thermonuclear fusion meant told you pretty much everything about the time!

In the end, after endless pages of failed attempts, you decided to summarize the most important information on a final page, where you also added three clean sketches of what you thought stars looked like. Did you get it right? You hope so.

For now, you're going to sleep and recharge your energy before meeting Ivan again.

...

The morning started with the usual breakfast, and then you had to go to your vocal class. It seemed that today, Ivan had a different schedule than yours, so, gathering a lot of courage, you yanked him into a secluded hall to talk. Your heart beat fast as you saw his surprised blinks at you— this could get you in trouble! But the journal on your back, held so tightly that you could swear you were about to fold it, calmed you a little.

Ivan got excited! Even if it could be dangerous for you two to miss classes, he grinned from ear to ear and tilted his head - "Aww! Missing me already?? We could had meet later, but if youre that desesperate i guess i can—"

You made him shut up a moment by putting your hand over his mouth, huffing and grumbling for him to shut up a second since you had something to show him, and how could he say no to that? He quickly shaked his head excitedly up and down, what could you want to show him?

As you shyly showed him the page with your idea of a star, he blinked confused, then decided to take the journal from your hands without thinking too much. You knew very well that if he was curious, he wouldnt let you take it back anytime soon, so you felt the need to quickly explain yourself— tripping slightly over your words, as guilt crept in for never mentioning your little problem to him before.

"Uhm, i tried...drawing a star, i uhm— actually never saw them, so i tried to recreate them from what you said to me! Since you admire them so much and all..."

Ivan was in shock, deciding to see through the other pages where you had written down information and sketched other discarded ideas. Even if you felt embarrassed, he didnt notice— too focused on examining them. All the concepts you had sketched were wrong. He wasnt mad, though; he understood pretty well that if someone who had never seen a star tried to draw one based only on a scientific or creative explanation, it wouldnt be easy.

Still, he left a small smile— a genuine one that reflected the deep warmth you made him feel. Even if this was the only way you acknowledged him, who else would want to listen to him rant about stars all night? Only you.

Ivan closed the journal only with one hand and turned to see you, when he saw your nervous gaze, he wondered why couldnt you see the stars, he had a little idea— but you know what? it didnt matter now. He had plenty of time to ask you later. - "They're all wrong."

He simply said and your heart sinked into sadness, he was mad right? after all, you kept that secret from him and...he patted your head? you felt your hair being ruffled, and when you looked up you finded him still with a big smile that showed his fang.

"Heeyy!! You didnt let me finish, dummy... It was my fault though, i gived you too difficult ideas, didnt i? My bad. Lets meet tonight and i'll show you what a true star looks like, how people draw them and why they're so gorgeous...just like you! Anyways, lets meet on the night, i dont want to cause you trouble now, bye lovely!"

He said, pushing you back toward the hall where your vocal class was. He gave you a kiss on the head, and you felt your cheeks grow warmer as you hugged the journal to your chest. He didnt even question you or blame you for anything. No matter what you did, Ivan wouldnt get mad at you… Hearing him talk endlessly about stars is the least you can do for him, after all.

You may have gotten every concept wrong, but hey! That just means tonight's talk will be even longer, you'll have more time with Ivan!

Ivan was truly your light, your star, just as you were his one. It wont take long until you two collide into each other creating a more vibrant light in this space of darkness.

!! - HII ANONNN sorry i took pretty long with this, but i hope you liked it if youre still around!! i hope i did it correctly and keeping the idea you had, i couldnt help but get a little emotionalll, such a pretty request, i loved it :( <3

[mamawasatesttube]

one take i see semiregularly that is just so... i'm sorry it is just So Stupid to me. is the idea that superman, being invulnerable, must not have much experience with pain and therefore must have a shit-tier pain tolerance. it's just so...???? fellas you don't even have to have picked up a superman comic to know this one's ridiculous. the entire superhero comic genre is based around action scenes and punch fights ??? like the guy gets zapped by megalightning beams or exploded by thermonuclear bombs or whammoed by magic cannons every goddamn issue. that's the GENRE. of course superman knows pain!! because he is a superhero comic character!!! and he gets thrown through buildings and blown up and strangled and whatnot literally every issue!!!! because of how comic books are based on action and fight scenes!!! there would be no story if there were no stakes, and the stakes include superman getting beaten up!!! what are you TALKING about?????

[problemnyatic]

dunmeshi post moment but it drives me up a goddamn WALL how people are so loud and upfront about their fav's flaws and shortcomings and how it makes them interesting, and then drop the notion like a stone the moment it comes to how others treat laios.

Like there's all this discussion about how the characters will respond in interesting ways to different situations because they're rich, multifaceted people with different strengths and flaws, but somehow everyone's behavior toward and in response to laios is just taken at face value as "probably reasonable."

No!!! No it fucking isn't!!! He isn't a "menace" and he isn't stupid and he isn't unreasonable, he's autistic, plaintext blatantly autistic and a solid half if not more of the situations he "blunders" into would have been resolved if not prevented if not nonexistent if the people around him had shown any respect for his intelligence and willingness to adapt to new information.

Everyone around him is constantly infantalizing him and acting like there's no reasoning with him, opting to straight up use force over just telling him what the expectations are in a situation he's liable to misnavigate, and it's unnecessary! Yeah he gets a little blinded by excitement about monsters, but it's more common for others to project their own discomfort onto him than for his interest to actually be leading somewhere genuinely bad, and when people actually take the time to explain to him that a situation needs more focus, he listens! Every time!

I'm not going to say he's done nothing wrong, he's as flawed as anyone else in the cast. But I routinely see folks mischaracterizing him as exactly the bumbling idiot the story is screaming that he isn't, and I can't help but see this thermonuclear media literacy moment as a massive fucking tell of folks' ableism.

So in case you needed it in plain english: Autistic men aren't inherently more dangerous or unreasonable than neurotypical folks. In fact, they're far more likely to be victims of violence. Y'all're just ableist as hell.

[gsot]

I hate playing ICBM with disarmamentcels. what do you mean this man phoned my actual real life phone to suggest a mutual agreement to limit numbers of SSBNs. Motherfucker go send out an ASW patrol before you start having these ideas, I have 30 SSBNs parked off your Arctic coast as we speak. Who do you think I am? Robert L. Holmes? I’m going for maximum credible deterrence here, outta my way.

Thermonuclear bomb

Bored rn and don’t know what to post so just take some doodles I’ve done of objectified OC

[fiddles-ifs]

look behind you! haha there's nothing there April fools!

in honor of the greatest holiday in the world, how do the guys from your games celebrate? who's the pranker (is it trace. it's trace right) and who's the prankee? who goes way too far? who will actually kill you if you even think about doing anything? who is normal about it?who doesn't believe anyone about anything the entire day? so many wonderful options.

HU WAH???

Trace is a prank nightmare and Devin is a straight-faced liar. This is their favorite holiday. Everyone else is suffering terribly.

Sibir’s autism means they take everything at face value if they trust you enough, so today is a nightmare for them. They’d prefer pranks because then they can just walk through them brick wall style, but April Fool’s jokes are going to go right over their head. Lisandro likes this holiday because he can be silly. :) Idali and Teslas are both Machiavellian plotters anyway so — Idali sees April Fools as childish, Teslas is curled up in a paranoia ball in the corner.

Lane and Mattie are engaged in some kind of thermonuclear prank war that goes waaaay too far and results in at least one serious injury and a lot of hurt feelings.

Tsar Bomba*

Johnny Soap MacTavish x Reader

A/N: This is just angst. I wrote it quite some time ago, but I guess it's time I post it. I'm not sure if I really like it, but at least it has a cool name lol. It may or may not have a part 2. The ending I have in mind is not happy, either way. Other than that, I guess the only TWs are mention of past trauma, mentions of a narcissistic father, past narcissistic abuse, and just Johnny fucking up. If I missed anything, please let me know and I'll add it.

*Tsar Bomba: Soviet thermonuclear bomb that was detonated in a test over Novaya Zemlya island in the Arctic Ocean on October 30, 1961. The largest nuclear weapon ever set off, it produced the most powerful human-made explosion ever recorded. (Amy Tikkanen, Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2024)

Soap is an asshole. A complete and utter idiot, with zero regards for other people and their feelings. A stupid pile of scottish-

“Aren’t you gonna go after’er?”

When Ghost is giving you relationship advice, you know it’s bad. Not like Johnny didn’t know that before Simon asked one of the most useless questions he’s heard. Which is to say something, because even he's asking himself that same question.

Am I not gonna run after her?

Of course, the question doesn’t come alone. It implies many others, each of them a punch to the guts.

Should I? Does she want me to? Would it change anything? Do I deserve to drag this any longer? Why would she want me to be with her? Is she even capable of forgiving me? Am I? How could I do it? Why am I so stubborn? Why couldn’t I just do as she said just this once?

Truth be told, most of the questions are accusations. Guilt. Johnny doesn’t fight them. On the contrary, he sides with the feeling in an absurd display of a split personality. One part of him punches, kicks and bites (sadly, in his head he doesn’t carry any guns… Which is, now that he thinks about it, okay, because he deserves a very long suffering); and the other bares the weakest parts of him: neck, belly, the way he’s always known he doesn’t deserve the love he needs… Both versions of him have red cheeks and wet eyelashes.

For the first time since he’s met you- but not the first in his life- Soap thinks he should die. The same way he knows any object he lets go of will fall to the ground, he should die. It’s the next logical step: he let go of you- more like threw your heart to the floor, the thought makes him flinch-, so now it comes the end. You ran out the door, and now…

Now you’re coming right back.

You’re stomping in his direction. You’re blushing, dark red cheeks and nose that he usually finds beautiful, but that right now look awful. Because it’s rage red, hurt red, indignation red;and it’s all directed to him. All provoked by him. Stupid, idiotic him. Asshole him.

Maybe it’ll help you, to yell exactly that at Soap. Even better, you’ll do it in front of Simon. His closest friend, his coworker, his superior… He deserves the humiliation. You deserve to inflict it. You deserve everything.

You stop where it’ll be clear you’re yelling at him, but not close enough for him to touch you- he wouldn’t dare, either way. Except you don’t yell. You just take a deep breath and clench your fists.

“I fucking told you, Soap.”, your voice is shaking, and so are you. And him, now that you didn’t call him Johnny, “I told you to not do that. I told you why I… Why he… I told you!”

You had told him. Twice. He even had asked about it the second time. “I don’t have a relationship with him. I haven’t spoken to him since I was in high school. I moved away as soon as I could, and I’m happy I did. He’s not in my life anymore”. You were so proud when you said that, that there wasn’t a place in your life for your father.

You give Simon a quick glance, and the man stares back at you. He’s not going to pretend he hasn’t been present for the whole interaction. He’s not going to pretend he isn’t listening to you. It clearly makes you uncomfortable, but Johnny is willing to let you know that Ghost will probably kick his ass after this- maybe it’ll help a little with the awkwardness.

Your voice sounds more like a growl when you keep talking.

“I said I never want to see him again! Why would you do that?! Why did you…! He knows where I live! He went to my fucking job, MacTavish!”

Your lips trembles. You’re breaking a little, and he doesn’t know what it is. Pain? Fury? Frustration? Betrayal? Fear? Whatever it is, you make it disappear with another deep breath.

Johnny is terrified. One deep breath and your whole face relaxed. Your eyes don’t look like they’re about to flood your cheeks anymore. It’s a mask that says nothing. You’ve closed off.

It’s a stab to his spine. He knows you used to do this. You used to cry in the bathroom, quietly, and come out like nothing happened. You used to not be able to let him know how you felt. It took you years to cry in front of him for the first time. To trust him. To learn that he was safe.

And he violated your trust.

“This is over. We are over. I warned you! You knew not to do this, the only thing I… I don’t… If you wanted to do it you should have said so, that way I wouldn’t have wasted… You had no fucking right, Soap! I fucking told you I hate him. He went to my apartment! He was there! Why would you…? You had no right!”

He opens his mouth. Doesn’t know what to say, though. Or, actually, he doesn’t know what he can say. Sorry? Not nearly enough. Not even a fraction of what he feels, and even less than a portion of what you deserve. Soap knows the only thing that would fix this, he can’t do: not having done it in the first place. Not tracking your father down. Not asking him to meet up. Not thinking he wasn’t that bad. Not telling him how good you’re doing, despite how proud Johnny was of you. He should have never asked him for his blessing to marry you.

But you don’t want to hear his silence any longer.

“Don’t! I don’t want to see you ever again. I hope you’re happy. You know him now, congratulations! Now you know everything. I bet he was so fucking nice with you. I bet he said he was so proud of me, even if I never treated him right, didn’t he?”

No, Soap is every opposite of happy. Yes, he said that. Yes, at the time he thought your father was nice. He wants to stab himself in the heart for thinking that. He knows that man was an awful parent to you- hell, he wasn’t even a parent.

But that was his mistake, wasn’t it? For Johnny MacTavish, family is the most important thing. Without family, nothing else is worth it. And seeing you celebrate birthdays and holidays only with friends, knowing your family was out there, far from you… He didn’t want that to happen in your wedding, too.

Key words: he and wedding. First mistake: it wasn’t about him. Fucking selfish asshole. Second mistake (this one was more of an idiotic fantasy that he didn’t deserve): wedding. Yes, maybe his father had asked his mother’s dad for her hand before proposing. And? Those were Johnny’s parents. Why in hell would you want him to ask someone else if it was okay for you to marry him?

“He does that! I’m not crazy... He’s- he's nice to other people! He’s manipulating you. And I’m not going to have that narcissistic bastard in my life. You and him can stay the fuck away from me! Even if you didn’t love me, there was no need to do it.”

Don’t love you? Soap wants to cry- his body is just frozen in place. He is a miserable person. All he does is love you. How did he manage to make you think otherwise? To make you feel otherwise? How did he dare do the only thing- the worst thing…?

Your head snaps violently in Simon’s direction, and Soap can almost see him bracing himself for what’s about to come. Which is an unnaturally calm and controlled voice.

“I’m sorry you had to see this, Simon. And I’m so sorry you have a friend who doesn’t understand boundaries or respect, at the very fucking least. I’ll put his stuff in a bag, and I’ll leave it with the doorman, in case you want to go get it for him. I’m sorry you got involved in this, I… I’m so sorry.”

There you are, apologizing again. Johnny was working on that with you. He had been for the past couple of years. But you’re doing it again, even though it is not your fault. It never is, and you’re always sorry, and he wishes he was dirt so at least you could step on him without feeling guilty. And he wants to rip his own heart out and hand it to you. He wants to use his stupid nails to scratch his stupid chest open, his stupid hands to break his fucking ribs and any other bone he can find in the way. He wants to crack his head open against the wall. He wants… It doesn’t matter what he wants.

Because you’re leaving.

You’re leaving, and you’re not crying. You’re so hurt that all the effort you did to open up, all these years working on learning how to be vulnerable, just disappeared. You’re back to the place you were when he met you. Except it’s worse now.

He made a mess. Johnny fucked you up.

For the millionth time today, he wants to die.

Fictober Day 7: "follow me if you want to live"

Lena/Kara (Supercorp)

For @fictober-event Day 7 prompt!

Type: Fanfiction | Fandom: Supergirl (TV) | Ship: Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor | Warning & Triggers: Implied Threats of Outsider Violence

---

Okay, okay, okay...

Kara closes off the distraction of emergency sirens, and of people screaming to flee, and of Lena. Lena taking charge. Lena barking orders into a phone for receptionists and staff workers to evacuate from L-Corp. Lena doing her absolute best to keep everyone safe.

She has no choice... she ditches Lena, hurrying up a stairwell and kicking off her heels. Kara's neutral-hose covered feet flying.

According to the thermonuclear readings, the bomb planted by Lena's competitor should be in this ninth story wall-panel... and a blast of her heat-vision should terminate the detonation sequence...

Kara squats, examining it with X-ray vision first. One of these cords attached she has to burn. Which one? The red cord or the blue cord?

Before her communicator cut out... Winn said something about the Matrix movie from 1999... ugh, Rao help her.... Kara only saw it once.

Behind her, Lena's footsteps. Lena's heartbeat pounds in Kara's ears.

"Follow me if you want to live! NOW!" Lena hollers to a ground of women huddled in another office-room. "Kara! Kara, you too--"

When Lena's hand grasps onto Kara's shoulder, Kara turns her head and stammers, "wh--wait, wait--!" and resists against being pulled.

"This building is about to go, Kara! Do not make me drag you!"

"It's just--uh--"

Kara fumbles for a reason for her to stay, and for Lena to go, looking away for the emptied stairwell entrance before she's noticed a blank-faced Lena goes to a knee in front of her. Their eyes meet intensely.

Both of Lena's hands gently grasp this time, against Kara's cheeks, and she presses in. Lena's mouth presses, too. On Kara's... lips. Huh.

Kara blinks, dreamy-eyed and confused, when Lena backs up.

"Very romantic," Lena says with a hint of a grin, "and I want to return your feelings, but it's the WORST time possible right now--I swear to you, Kara, I'll hear what you gotta say when we're out of the danger."

Huh...

Oh, oh! Red pill! The red cord!

Before Lena manages to get Kara on her feet, Kara secretly lowers her glasses and pinpoint heat-blasts the bomb. It whirs off unnoticed.

They take hands, and Kara feels her own heart pounding like Lena's.

Okay, okay, OKAY... Kara's best friend thinks Kara is IN LOVE with her and... wants to be with in love with her... BACK?

Kara swallow down an absurdly high laugh.

Sounds nice.
