it’s over.
the deed is done.
their power evaporates,
stardust scattered in the wind,
and time slows down.
they turn, smiling as they tip sideways
their eyes still so bright so kind so full of love
their hair swept up by gravity
“everything’s okay”
their elegant attire fanning around them
“it’s all going to be just fine”
graceful, even as they crumble
“they can’t hurt you anymore”
their weapon slides bloody from their hand.
“it’s over now”
you reach but oh they’re so far away
“you’re safe now”
too far away, and you won’t make it in time
“hush now love please don’t you cry”
crash crash burn.
they fall a glittering diamond
your knight fallen to slay the beast you couldn’t
like the tears streaming down your face
down down down where you can’t follow
and pool upon the ground unmoving
you scream you scream no no no
to lay there still
forever more.
they have a name, a name you shriek
a name I could have branded
into these words with the hiss
oh the sting the howl of anguish,
but I don’t have to, do I?
no,
not when you saw them
ablaze in sunlight
oh how you love them
you knew their name the moment I spoke.
It’s just Akilah and the brain damage she is incurring from huffing gas in that cave against the world
What is it with this show???? (I’m writing Mari Shauna hate sex at her wedding with Jackie haunting the narrative as she should.) What is it doing to me????
My missing friend is no longer missing, my iud cramps (my back feeling like it’s being broken) are gone, and I have a fridge full of energy drinks. Maybe I’ll actually update my fics tonight
“She thinks about it like a bundle of string, overlapping and crossing and knotting, everything tied together. John B to Sarah and Sarah to her and her to Pope and Pope to JJ and JJ to Kie and Kie to Sarah. Over and over again the string connects and tangles and loops around, a perfect mess of a family.”
Saw the ending to obx4, first of all wtf??
Second of all, wtf??????????
Time to go write a poly, found family fic where everyone actually communicates and is happy, and somehow Rafe gets a semi-redemption and saves JJ bc a fucking stab wound?? After everything???

Irulan is such a petty bitch but I'm pettier. She was like "I'm playing the long game," well I'm not. Paul won't fuck me because he's with Chani exclusively? Fine, well I'll fuck Chani. You and I are sister-wives now Paul!
The IOF opened fire on starving civilians trying to collect food aid murdering dozens and injuring an estimated hundreds or more they then crushed some of the injured by running over them with tanks. This was their “reason.”
