#they're not expendable

[hislittleraincloud]

I see what u gdamn did to our Nightshades...bloating the cast with (and using the budget on) a bunch of Big Names isn't going to change that for me.

You: "We're going to have more monsters in S2!"

Also you: *gets rid of half of them (and the only named/established vampire)*

ETA: You had one job, unless it's nominal

"what radicalized you?" being told "that's just the way the world is." because daring to believe that change could happen was brushed off so easily. i think the passive mindset people have about everything upset me the most. it didn't just apply to friends who refused to take sides or have opinions when you wete upset with someone, or people always playing devil's advocate when you were upset and invalidating why YOU are upset. it applied to people who saw that we were killing people under the guise of religion when it was always about wanting the land, the money, the benefits of somebody's death. it applied to the fact that the world is dying and we have every opportunity to start making changes but everyone says "that's just the way the world is." and it's not. it's the way YOU are. you have refused to change and grow and take a stance and you will drag everyone down with you

If there's one thing I've respectively noticed from Zionists and defenders of Israeli war crimes, it's that every source, argument and potential avenue to explore each explanation is riddled with cherry picking, moving the goalposts and mental gymnastics to explain why their conclusions, which typically are barely even related to the sources they use, somehow overshadow literal reality and what we see with our own eyes.

While scrolling, one example I came across was the repetitive misrepresentation of BLM, antifa and quotes from Martin Luther King Jr, as well as statistics, scholarly journal articles and government website information. These are all good sources, yet every single time they're mangled completely until the only possible "interpretation" of any of them is "well Israel is right to defend itself after shorting rockets beforehand because the retaliation was brutal and all Arabs are bad by default therefore". As if any of these sources are even about individual exceptions of Israel versus hatred towards Arabs.

I think what I find most absurd, as someone in the middle of their own studies, is how every bit of critical thinking and logic goes out the window as they do every single thing possible to do what professors worldwide say NOT to do when evaluating sources. It's like watching a race to see who can tangle and misconstrue scientific information to fit their world view the fastest. Then said people say "um actually I studied at university before so it's actually not wrong that I'm doing this exact this everyone is warned not to do because I have a permit". Ignorance I can forgive, but willful and arrogant manipulation? That's another thing entirely.

Enid: A werewolf in pining.

(TW: The taking of one's own life is mentioned but does not happen)

Enid, alone in their dorm, Wednesday has neglected their relationship again, in her single minded pursuit of the Stalker, Enid has been left to dither and wallow, her heart reaching out, pining for the one she would call Mate. The one who she would give up everything for, if she but asked, she would gladly give.

Enid, lies on her bed listening to Chances by Athlete on repeat, her silent tears begging the Universe for Wednesday to choose her.

Enid, hopelessly in love with the girl, that shines like the sun in an Eclipse, the girl that Enid looks to for strength, the girl who holds her soul in black polished fingernails.

Enid begs the Universe and the Universe, that of which is usually uncaring, decides to give her that chance.

Wednesday comes stumbling through the door to their dorm, hand pressed to her side, where blood gushes out.

Enid springs to her feet, Wednesday remarks that getting stabbed the second time around wasn't as fun as she hoped, just as the first time wasn't. Enid rushes to get the first air kit, and helps Wednesday clean, stich and bandage the wound, hands both gentle and caring, soft in touch but firm in purpose. Wednesday watches her, eyes wide, like she is truly seeing Enid for the first time.

"Goddamn it, Wednesday" Enid mutters as she wraps the bandage round her waist. "From now on, no more running off on your own, no more of this one girl crusade" Enid says, eyes fierce. "You take me with you or you don't go at all" She says, securing the bandage to her side, keeping it tight.

"No" Wednesday mutters, her eyes flicker down.

"Then i won't let you go" Enid says, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"I have to find the stalker and i am but one step closer to solving this mystery" Wednesday says raising her head to meet her gaze

Enid fights the urge to scream, this conversation going the same way as it did last Semester.

"Then i'm not letting you go alone!" Enid growls out.

"No" Wednesday replies, her voice firmer, her eyes glittering dangerously.

Enid scoffs and laughs bitterly "Sure but you'll let Xavier help you! Tall, dark and broody just can't wait to..." She trails off, unable to say the words, she swallows, shoving down the explosion of emotion that threatens to erupt from Mt. Enid. she turns away, unable to look at the cold burn of Wednesday's eyes.

Wednesday narrows her eyes.

"I let him help me because i don't care about what happens to him, his well-being means nothing to me"

Enid pauses. A hopeful tug at her heart.

"Do you think i care for you so little that i would put you in harm's way again? do you think i would put the most precious of all gems out in the open just to be snatched away? No, i found that out the hard way last semester, and i refuse to let it happen again, i refuse to let it happen to you"

Enid feels her heart stop, before exploding thunderously with elation, set alight. she turns to see Wednesday looking at her softly and her eyes glistening, through sheer force of will, Wednesday would not let the tears fall unbidden.

"If he dies, then he dies" Wednesday said, her callousness would shock other people, but not Enid, not in this moment. "But you? if you died at the alter of my bloody hubris, i would throw myself off the top of our dorm balcony, if only to be with you again, i would not hesitate"

Enid stops breathing, such a declaration is something she can only have dreamt about it makes her heart soar, her skin tingle, and her body shiver.

"Wends..." Enid begins, her voice quivers, Mt. Enid struggles to keep the bubbling viscosity of her love for Wednesday, bubbling below the surface. But Wednesday hold's up her hand, clearly not finished.

"This stalker, threatens me on a daily basis and evidently backs up those threats" Wednesday says, gesturing to her bandaged wound. "by extension he threatens you by mere association and i cannot allow that to be, i cannot allow that bastard to roam free with his limbs intact, i will find him, and i will rip him to pieces, if only to keep you, my most precious gem, safe."

Enid's eyes are wide, full of love, her body aflame with affection.

"And that is why you must stay here, so you cannot see the darkest pieces of I, Lest I tarnish you with my love of the horrific, of the macabre, of the Sadist, because i will enjoy their pain."

And Enid, hears none of it, she made peace with the fact that she would love Wednesday forever, no matter how much pain she inflicts, no matter if she became a murderer, no matter if she became the monster she claimed she was always destined to be.

She would love her forever. Unconditionally. She made peace with that an eternity ago.

"Wends... are you saying...." Enid gulps, putting every ounce of courage she has ever gathered up to this point forward "...that you love me?" Enid finishes, her voice quiet, small, but so very much Enid.

Wednesday doesn't even blink nor hesitate

"If my so many words didn't enlighten you than i shall use far less, then Yes, i do" Wednesday said, lowering her face slightly.

Enid thinks her heart stops because blood starts rushing to her head but she persists, she will not faint, she won't. This had become too important to screw up, she moved forwards, carefully, slowly, not wanting to startle "the wounded fawn" as Wednesday once called herself. She reached out a hand and cupped Wednesday's face, who did not shy away from it but pressed her face into Enid's palm.

"Wednesday" she says softly "Look at me..." Wednesday opens her eyes and Enid sees the love there, its subtle but its there.

"Do you think i love you so little that i would let you face this alone?" Enid said, echoing the girls words back at her. "Do you think if you died, that i love you so little, i wouldn't follow you there?" Enid says, her face "I made peace with the fact that i would love you for the rest of my life, and that i would follow you, no matter where you go" Enid says, inching closer to the Raven.

Their lips meet, a thunderous rejoicing in the heavens sounds as lightning flashes above Nevermore, lighting up their world, their first kiss under a naturally violent act of nature. Enid presses deeper, her need, her heartache evaporating as she claims Wednesday as hers, the kiss chaste but needy and so very overdue.

Wednesday places her hand on Enid's waist, and pushes deeper into the kiss, desperate to feel. desperate for touch, desperate for her to burst aflame, Enid, being the only one, who could achieve such a feat.

They slowly pull apart, lungs screaming for air. Enid rubes her nose on the shorter girl's nose, unable to stop herself.

Nothing is left that needs to be said, nothing left to be done.

Until Wednesday tugged Enid towards her bed, the two smitten teens laying down beside each other, with Wednesday being careful of her wound, and they spent the night, in each other's arms, Wednesday, letting the exhaustion of her hunt finally overtake her.

and Enid, holds the smaller teen in her arms, remarking at just how soft Wednesday was once the rough edges vanished behind the lull of sleep, she stays awake however, worshipping Wednesday with her eyes and softest touches with the pads of her fingers.

Her heart in ache before, could feel nothing now but Peace.

the fact that the rest of the careers in 75th only had to stay alive for three more days is actually so sad to me even if i understand why no one could tell them about the rebel plan

Characters with super speed often use it to do tremendous tasks in fractions of a second. Say a task should talk 5 hours to complete, but they do it in 5 seconds, what type of toll does that take on the body? Clark complains that because she is there, he can't do the work in seconds like he normally could, but the amount of work is the same. Which begs the question:

Different writers and eras might depict it different, and it can change depending on the character. As a generalization of the power of superspeed, what do you think?

Dogma: Babe you’re literally breaking my heart by saying that—

Arachne: But I’m expendable.

Dogma: 🥺 💔

Arachne please stop & give Dogma some cuddles you’re literally breaking his heart

Poor Dogma, he loves her so much.

Arachne snuggles close to Dogma, a happy hum leaving her as he tightly wraps his arms around her, "How long do I have to stay here?" She asks. "Until the healer releases you." Dogma replies immediately, "You don't play with electrical injuries." "It wasn't even that much electricity," She says with a pout, before she shifts in the bed so she's straddling him as best as she can and she folds her arms on his chest and beams up at him. "Babe-" His voice is slightly hoarse, "Master Vokara will kill me if she sees us sitting like this." Arachne grins at him, and twists to shoot some web at the door, making it impossible to open, "There. Better?" "Great, now she's going to kill the both of us." Dogma says with a sigh, though he doesn't sound upset, and his hands lazily drag down Arachne's back. "She's a healer, no she won't." Arachne counters. Leaning up to brush her lips against his, "Besides, don't you wanna spend time with me?" "You're going to get us in trouble," He warns, before he catches her lips in a proper kiss. "You don't really seem all that bothered about it," She replies against his lips. "I'm a simple man, how am I suppose to say no to you?" And then he catches her lips in a proper kiss.
