It's so interesting hearing people complain about driving and distance and travel. I know I have an uncommon experience, but still.
Hearing people call 30 mins-1 hour to far away to work or do things is weird. Because that's my minimum travel time anywhere. Depending in traffic it could take me 2 hours to get to my college.
Nothing is close to me, I have diners that don't serve dinner and a pizza place that are within 15 mins of me. I have a singular convenience store, and it's a brand Known for taking advantage of people living so far from other stores.
Distance is normal.

The Mouth: pleading, begging, screaming, cracked and bleeding lips, a shaky smile, a thin line or forced open, unwelcome tastes and textures
The Eyes: tears, red rimms, blindfolded, bloodshot and tired, dull, losing or gaining back their spark, furrowed brows, frenzied and panicked, closed to shut out terrible sights
The Nose: broken and bloody, horrible inescapable smells, drugged rags pressed against it, held close to deprave of oxygen
Ears: ringing, deaf, screams too loud to ignore, blood slowly trickling out, overstimulating sounds, a friendly voice or cruel snarls
The Hands: white knuckles, bloody knuckles, cut off fingers sent back home, clasped in prayer, scrambling, searching in darkness, hard hits and punches, holding onto the last thing they have

I've got an idea as to who to give BvsTMNT! Mikey!!
Ok so, in the little spider family there's: Peter, Miles, Ben and Kaine.
(616) Peter has IDW Mikey
Miles has Rise Mikey
And Ben has 07! Mikey.
Kaine is the only one without. So, why not give him the last remaining Mikey? (Looking through his wiki, his unique feature is a tattoo on his left arm, which I think is cool)
Also, while searching for this, I found out that Ben Reily is also in the 2012 show, so there's that.
OK OK OK I LIKE THE IDEA. BUT ALSO
CONSIDER PAVITR PRABHAKAR
IVE ONLY KNOWN PAVITR'S PERSONALITY FOR 5 MINUTES BUT I LOVE HIM ALREADY

What are your hands covered in?
Stars.
They burn, don’t they? And yet you still hold on. The flesh on your palms peels back, your fingers burning down to bone. Your tissues char and break away, your blood boiling inside your hands. The heat rushes up to kiss your face and chest, a sunburn in the dark and yet–yet you hold on, because they are beautiful. It hurts, but you see only the beauty of the moment, none of the pain. All of that suffering is worth a few moments of brilliance, isn’t it?

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄'𝐒 𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓
genevieve lives in a two bedroom flat near campus. paid for by her parents, her apartment takes up the top floor of a small but stunning building. the building is old, built as the university was growing, and while the historic beauty of it has been preserved the space has been infused with modern luxury. the entryway features italian marble floors and a stunning staircase, and two floors up ( by stairs or by small elevator ) sits genevieve’s apartment . . .
full pinterest
though the stunning historical architecture of the apartment has been kept painstakingly intact, the space has been treated to many renewals and lots of upkeep over the years. it was already a high end space geared towards the wealthy students of meraviglia before genevieve ever stepped foot in it, but the most recent work on it was done by her team. the design of the apartment highlights its historic charm while keeping a clean, modern feel. think large windows and wood floors with high end fixtures, white linen, and crisp lines. while genevieve didn’t pick out a single piece of furniture or design anything herself, everything has been perfectly tailored to her style, simple, elegant, and expensive.
the upkeep of her apartment is also something gen doesn’t play a big role in. while she does generally keep her space meticulously tidy, she isn’t someone that’s ever done her own laundry or taken out the trash. the apartment is always serenely beautiful and impeccably neat, exactly what you would expect her space to be. it generally smells of wood sage and sea salt from her favourite jo malone candle mixed with a floral scent from the flowers that are regularly refreshed (again, taken care of by someone else, genevieve not at all nurturing enough to change the water in a vase).
her kitchen doesn’t get used very much, but it’s stunning nonetheless. her fridge is primarily stocked with meals from a chef on the island and bottles of expensive wine. her gorgeous, gas, unbelievably expensive stove goes almost untouched, as she prefers to simply order in meals rather than to cook — because really, how could she spare the time for that. what she will take the time to make is a cocktail ( she’s never been the kind of girl to go for a vodka cranberry ), everything needed to make the perfect martini is available at a moment’s notice. she will often use her kitchen to study, the marble countertop of the island perfect for spreading out her papers and books when her desk feels too small. it’s perfect, given that she really prefers studying at home to studying in public where anybody can see how hard she works ( and interrupt her ). she tends to alternate between her bed, her desk, her counter, and on occasion a bubble bath for studying, schoolwork, and planning.
the apartment has one and a half baths. the powder room off of the main entry way is stunning enough, beautiful floral wallpaper and expensive fixtures ( and perfect lighting for moody mirror selfies when gen is ever hosting ), but the en suite is truly gorgeous. featuring an enormous tub, bubble baths a favourite of gen’s, and a large shower, of course with a rainfall showerhead and a steam setting. essentially, it’s an on demand spa in her humble abode.
the living room rarely looks lived in, but it’s furnishings are plush and inviting. incredibly expensive couches upholstered in white fabric that brings a brightness to the space and contrast the dark wood of the coffee table. there always seems to be a new selection of coffee table books waiting to be picked through by any guest, always featuring some form of incredibly interesting and cool subject matter, fashion and architecture and art infused into her space in the most unobtrusive way. the space also features a gorgeous, original fireplace with a large mirror resting above it. gen, not one to watch tv often, instead has a projector hidden away somewhere. the living room also opens up to a small terrace which adjoins to her bedroom, featuring a cafe set for breakfasts in the warm italian sun.
the second bedroom in the apartment has been converted into a space that is so specific to genevieve it’s almost sickening: a combination walk in closet and office. perhaps it seems odd, but the pairing never gave her pause. to genevieve the way she presents herself to the world is another piece of her work. half of the room is lined with bookshelves, the other half with clothing, shoes, and handbags. if you’re lucky enough perhaps you’ll even see the jewelry collection that’s tucked away, filled with vintage diamonds and pearls that have been passed down to her.
her bedroom is, in a word, luxurious. in the center of the room sits a plush king sized bed, topped with silk sheets and a down duvet. on her bed side table you may find the latest issue of vogue ( which she happily reads for the fashion AND the articles, a girl shouldn’t have to choose ) or a dense, unflinchingly complex text on international law or political theory. one wall features large windows and of course the entry to the balcony, diaphanous curtains separating her from the world while greedily allowing the light into the space. her vanity also resides in her bedroom, gen preferring to do her makeup and hair there rather than anywhere else. the closet in the bedroom is heartbreakingly small, owing to the old architecture of the building, in it mostly nightwear resides, silky nightgowns and pajamas as well as warm cashmere for when she feels cold. while her bedroom is gorgeous, it perhaps has more in common with a luxury hotel than someone’s home. gen keeps little of anything sentimental in the space, a firm believer that attachments only slow one down. of course, there’s also the fact that the only person she’s ever truly been sentimental about is her brother, and reminders of him burn more than they soothe.
