LEE HEESEUNG

The slow rocking of the train gently woke you out of your sleep. With your eyes still closed, you shifted in the uncomfortable padding of your seat. You furrowed your eyebrows and snuggled farther into what, for some reason, you decided to identify as a pillow.

Your hands came up and wrapped around the cozy object, trying to make yourself as warm as possible in the cool train. And then suddenly you felt slight shaking underneath your cheek, and after sleepily concluding that pillows, in fact, do not shake on their own, you opened your eyes and looked up only to meet your eyes with another pair of dark ones, crinkled adorably as the boy tried to hold in his laughter.

You jolted in your seat, straightening your back and moving away from the stranger's arm that you've been clutching onto for such a long time.

"Oh, no, you don't have to," he said, not being able to hold back on his chuckle anymore. "Please, don't let me interrupt you."

You rubbed your eyes to wake yourself up quicker, needing your right senses back as quickly as possible.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that," you said, clearing your throat as your voice came out a little raspy. You blushed in embarrassment and placed your cool hands on your burning cheeks to tame them a little bit.

"It's okay, seriously. Don't worry about that," he reassured you and smiled at you gently.

You felt your lips stretching in a small smile too and you nodded your head at him. "Well, thank you for that. What's your name?"

"It's Heeseung," he said and you smiled again, finding his name just as pretty as him.

You looked outside the window and realized that your stop was coming in about four minutes. "Thanks again, Heeseung. I hope you didn't miss your stop because of me."

He laughed at your words and his hand came up to scratch his neck slightly. "I missed two actually but you looked like you needed some rest, so it's okay. I'm glad I could help."

PARK JAY

You groaned as the zipper got stuck again and you struggled to close the dress for three minutes now. After you finally got the fabric out and zipped the dress back up, you turned around and looked in the mirror. You tilted your head to the side, not sure if it was the right fit for you. It seemed a little too short but at the same time it highlighted all of your best features, so you sighed with confusion.

"Does it look okay?" You asked your friend who was standing behind the curtain. Well, your friend who was supposed to be standing behind the curtain. You turned around while trying to look for her, but your eyes met with a pair of dark irises instead.

The boy sitting on the bench in front of another fitting room raised his head up from his phone and looked at you slightly startled at the sudden question. After quickly scanning the area and noticing that there was no one else present to answer you, he cleared his throat.

"Do you want me to tell you?" He asked and you blushed slightly but nonetheless nodded your head.

"Yeah, sure. I'd really appreciate that. My friend disappeared on me somehow," you said with a quiet chuckle.

"Sure, no problem."

You turned around to face him completely, running your hands over the fabric, trying to smooth out any creases. He looked at the dress for a moment before averting his eyes up, not wanting to make you uncomfortable, and he smiled at you.

"Well, I think it looks great," he stated the verdict and you found yourself smiling as well.

You turned around to look at the mirror again. "You really think so? I don't know, something about the shape didn't seem right for me," you said and then turned your face to him again.

He hummed. "You shouldn't worry about that. You look beautiful."

SIM JAKE

You fixed the newly bought flowers in your vase, smiling at the finishing touch in your new apartment. It was your first day in here after you had to leave your previous place because the prices rose too high. You didn't mind it that much though. The apartment was a bit smaller than the one before but it was okay considering you were living alone now. It was placed much closer to your uni too.

You grabbed the empty boxes and went towards the door to carry them to the garbage can outside. You balanced the pile in your one hand and quickly pushed the door open with the unoccupied one. You frowned when the door stuttered on something and not even a second later you heard a whine coming from the other side of it.

With a yelp you dropped the boxes to the floor and carefully tried to open the door again, peaking your head through it with dread. Your eyes immediately landed on a boy standing before your door, hand covering his beat up nose.

You gasped and rushed over to him. "Shit, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were there, I'm sorry!" You apologized with a wince, stretching your neck to analyse the damage you've done as he dropped his hand back to his side. For your luck, his nose was only slightly reddened and he sniffled, trying to get rid of the itchy feeling.

"It's okay, don't worry," he said and you let out a relieved sigh at the fact that he wasn't mad.

A wide smile stretched his lips before he let out a chuckle, finding the entire situation hilarious. You felt your heart stutter at the sight of his smile but you decided to ignore the feeling temporarily and you laughed softly as well.

"Do you want me to get you some ice for it?" You asked.

"No, no, it's fine," he said and shook his head. "So you're our new neighbour then?"

You looked at him in surprise. "You live in here too?"

"Yeah, right there." He pointed to the door exactly on the opposite side of yours. "I rent the place with my friends."

"Oh," you raised your eyebrows. "Do all of you even fit in there? It's so small."

"One of them is taking the couch," he said and you giggled. "Actually, before you assaulted me with your door, I wanted to ask if you had any milk by a chance? Living with two other guys empties the fridge pretty quickly."

You smiled at his words and nodded your head before opening your door again. "Yeah, sure. Come on in."

PARK SUNGHOON

Your eyes scanned the crowded group of small boys, looking for the little menace of your brother. As soon as you spotted him, you raised your hand and waved at him to grab his attention.

Since your dad was too busy to pick him up from his hockey practice today, you volunteered to do it instead. Your classes have already ended and you really wanted to spend some time together, since you didn't get to see him as much ever since you moved to college. The moment that his eyes landed on you, his face lit up with a wide smile and made you giggle.

You waited patiently for his practice to end, not too bothered about the coolness inside the rink as you were too occupied with ogling the boys' handsome coach. He was simply mesmerizing. Your eyes seemed almost unable to leave his graceful silhouette. His smooth movements and amazing way with children entertained you so much that you barely noticed when he blew in his whistle, announcing the end of today's practice.

You watched as the boys glided off to the exit and left to the changing room. Not even a minute later you heard a sharp sound of blades cutting though the ice and before you could even blink properly, you were facing the boy that you've been stuck upon just a while ago. You straightened your back and removed your hands from the fence, taken aback by his sudden appearance.

"Hi," you said, embarrassingly finding yourself slightly breathless.

"Hi," he greeted back with a smile, leaning over the fence. "Are you (y/b/n)'s mum?"

You shook your head and giggled. "No, no. I'm his sister. Dad was too busy to pick him up today."

He grinned at your words, visibly pleased with the answer. "That makes me a little too relieved to hear than I'd like to admit," he laughed and you felt butterflies tickling your stomach. "I'm Sunghoon. Can I know your name?"

"It's (Y/N)."

"How come I've never seen you in here before?" He asked, propping his chin on his hand.

"Oh, I'm just a little busy with college, so I never really had the chance to pick (y/b/n) up before," you said and he nodded in understanding. "I can try to come more often, though?"

Sunghoon smiled and nodded again. "Yeah, please do. I'd love that," he assured before slapping his hands on the fence gently and slowly gliding away to find his boys. "Well, I hope to see you again soon, (Y/N)!"

KIM SUNOO

As soon as you planted your eyes on the tram stop, you rushed over there in an attempt to hide from the pouring rain. It was dark outside but the stop was packed with people, so you stood right next to it, holding your umbrella securely in your hand so it didn't get blown away with the wind.

You checked the hour and realized that you still had over seven minutes to your tram. You changed the song playing in your earphones to something a little more cheerful, trying to find a good contrast to the gloomy weather.

Suddenly, a boy around your age came rushing to the tram stop, most likely wanting to find a shelter as well. You could hear his small sigh from your unplugged ear and you gently turned your face ro the side to take a better look at him. You immediately started feeling bad when you noticed how drenched his clothes were, all hair wet from the rain as well.

Without much thinking, you took two steps closer to him and held up your umbrella higher to shield his head from the downpour. He turned to you and his slightly confused face instantly lit up with a pretty smile.

"Thank you so much," he said and attempted to wipe his face with his wet hands. You giggled at him and quickly reached to your jacket pocket to pull out a packet of tissues. You handed them to the boy and he accepted it with a thankful smile. "You're so sweet."

You felt a hot blush spreading all over your cheeks and you looked to the side quickly, clearing your throat. "It's no problem, really. You needed them more than me."

He nodded his head and wiped his face as dry as he could. "What's your name?"

"Me? Oh- I'm (Y/N)," you stumbled out, shying away from his intense gaze. "And you?"

"Sunoo," he introduced himself and reached his hand up to hold the umbrella along with you, noticing you struggling with keeping it still as the wind increased in its strength.

Your heart skipped a beat and you decided to peak at him again, only to blush again when you noticed his eyes still planted on you.

"I know that you're probably heading home but would you like to maybe grab some coffee right now?"

YANG JUNGWON

You plopped down on Riki's couch with a sigh. You curled up on is comfortably and played a random reality show for some background nosie and you scrolled through your phone. You waited for your best friend to finish showering and join you, so you could finally watch the new episode of the show you two watched together.

You stretched your hands above your head and groaned with anticipation when you finally heard the door opening.

"Oh my god and you have the guts to say that your roommate takes long show-"

You halted your words when an unfamiliar boy entered the living room, taking off his jacket.

"Oh, hi," he greeted you and you straightened your back. For all the time that Riki's lived with his roommate, you never got the chance to meet him since he was never there. "Uhm- Is that my hoodie?"

You quickly looked down at the pointed clothing. You'd snatched it from a chair and thinking that it belonged to your friend you just put it on without giving it any second thought.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I thought it was Riki's," you apologized and tugged on the hoodie to take it off and give it back to him.

"No, no, you don't have to take it off," he quickly assured you with a smile. "I was just asking. You can keep it if you want, it's cold in here anyway."

You smiled at his words and eased up in the warm fabric again. "Thanks."

"You must be the infamous (Y/N) Riki always complains about," he joked.

"That little rascal," you gasped dramatically, making him laugh. "But you must be Jungwon then," you said and nodded his head. "Do you maybe wanna sit with us? We're watching Euphoria."

"Sure, I'd love to."

NISHIMURA RIKI

"I hate you guys so much," you sulked as you stuffed another fist of popcorn in your mouth.

You've despised horror movies ever since you could remember. So that fact made you question why you ever thought that going on a horror movie maraton was a good idea. You raised your hand over your eyes to somehow block the view, only peaking through the gaps of your fingers from time to time to keep up with the plot.

You groaned internally as you heard the music coming to a stop when the character walked through the empty house, knowing that a jump-scare was about to scare the living shit out of you in a matter of seconds. But nothing happened for a really long time as the girl only walked and walked, and you finally pried your hand off of your face.

You reached for the popcorn and turned to your friend to whine when your hand touched the empty bottom of the box, only to jump in your seat as a loud screech pierced the cinema. You flinched at the jump-scare, hand immediately gripping on the first better thing you could find. You did that almost unintentionally, so you gasped in surprise when a bunch of unfamiliar long fingers squeezed your hand playfully.

You quickly looked down and noticed that in the rush of panic you must had grabbed the hand of the boy sitting right next to you. Your eyes shot wide open and you let go of his hand in a hurry.

"Oh my- I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," you apologized messily, feeling your cheeks literally inflame.

But the boy only shook his head with a laugh, trying to put your mind at ease. "Don't worry about it, really. I didn't mind it that much," he said, chuckling when he noticed your flustered self. "If it makes you feel better, you can hold on my hand for as long as you want."

You looked at him hesitantly, not wanting to come off as a fool if you grabbed his hand for real and it turned out to be just a joke.

"Are you sure?" You asked quietly, trying not to disturb the rest of the cinema.

He nodded his head with a smile. "Yeah, go ahead. I'm Riki by the way."

HELLO IT IS ME DOUBLE LIFE ANON BACK AFTER LIKE A WEEK OF DISSAPPEARANCE. I AM SORRY FOR BEING GONE FOR SO LONG BUT I COME BEARING HEADCANONS.

also, sorry for getting third life and last life mixed around! AND for forgetting about the boogeyman in L.L. that's like one of the coolest/most important things about it and i just straight up forgot lol :,). shoutouts to that one person in the notes section of my first ask for correcting me!!

ANYWAYS, onto some ideas i had for the soulbound au (im kinda smushing together Third Life, Last Life, and Double Life for a super fun funky experience) im only really gonna be talking about nya & zane, kai & pixal, and lloyd & morro bc those the only soulbounds of which you are 100% sure of

edit: quick interjection as im like 40 mins into writing this to say idrk how far you are in the show, but theres some s8 spoilers in the latter half of the kai and pixal section, so please be careful of that!!

• i think that whenever you're in the presence of your soul bound, just know somethings up. its like a weird feeling you have. and whenever you see them or they see you, you both realize 'oh hey were bound arent we? cool!'

• ^ or not cool depending on your opinion of your sb (looks at morro and lloyd)

anyways, nya and zane!!

• i think these two had a really funny first meeting. the ninja obviously first met nya when they were rescuing her, and i cant help but laugh at the idea of nya brushing right past her brother and the guy who obviously wants to hit on her to go talk to the quiet guy whos just looking at her, amazed.

• they obviously told the others what was happening like 5 seconds later, but those were a VERY confusing 5 seconds. especially for kai

• they are (to me, at least) the perfect definition of a platonic soulbound. i feel like interviewers would go up to nya and be like

• "so we've heard that you're soulbound to one of the other ninja! just between you and me, is it jay or cole? or is it a familial bond with kai?" and NO ONE believes her when she says its zane. IF she even tells them. she might not even answer those kinda questions tbh

• whenever zane dies every other season, she knows he's not REALLY dead. wouldn't she be dead then, too?

• i feel like that adds a whole other layer to Zanes season 3 sacrifice, cause he'd know he'd be taking nya down with him, yet i am FAR too mentally unstable over the thought of that to get into it <3<3

okay, kai and pix time!!

• start-of-season-3-kai, who just finished reprimanding a 6 year old for shoving gum up their nose, seeing this techy nindroid walk out and suddenly Getting It: O h

• instead of zane being pixals sentience-awakening, i believe her seeing kai for the first time would shake her.

• Pixal, upon realizing her soulbound is the elemental master of fire: THAT'S WHY I OVERHEAT ALL THE TIME???

• as for their dynamic. c'mon. we saw how they were in the car scene. kai is unhinged and pixal has him on a child leash

• HOWEVER Kai has proven to be very smart multiple times in the show, and pix would 100% go to him to ask questions she doesn't under the solution to. most of the time he doesn't know either, but be occasionally does!

• their dynamic (again, to me personally) could either be platonic or romantic? kai is the typa guy to just casually flirt with his friends, and as we saw from that one s8 scene with Pixal and lloyd, pix sometimes does that, too!

• overall i think these two would be very healthy and kai would be ECSTATIC when pix gets her body back as samuri x. 100% would hug the life out of her

okay. fluff over. now onto the disaster that is lloyd and morro as soulbounds

• when lloyd first walked into the muesuem and saw the (possessed) nightguard, he knew something was.. off.

• he didn't get that floaty feeling that the others described when they found their soulbound, but he did feel. something.

• morro felt the exact same thing, but he refused to acknowledge it. why would he? the thought of him and Lloyd, the Green Ninja, being soulbound is so preposterous that it's almost funny

• then, whenever morro jumps out of the nightguards body, there's a horrifying moment where he realizes what's going on

• lloyd, not knowing the extent of Morro's villainy, is super excited!! he found him, his soulbound! the person that'll be by his side through it all!! yeah, he's a ghost, so that's a little weird, but who cares? he found him!!

• then possession happens. then the the rest of the season happens.

• a remorseful and tentatively redeemed morro, knowing that if he lets himself drown he'll kill lloyd in the process, ruefully takes his masters hand

• he's around. he's not really a part of the group. he's just there to make sure he's not why lloyd suddenly dies

• morro'd 100% protect lloyd if he was ever in a life or death situation. he'd say he did it to protect himself, but that's a lie

• after Lloyd processed everything that morro put him through, he might try to reach out? like it or not, and trust me; they both HATE IT, they're soulbound

• would take a long, painstaking, heartwrenching journey, but they might be able to be proper soulbounds. after a long, long time

• maybe.

• ...they're 1000% a power duo tho. working together, they could kick your ass blindfolded while bound and gagged to a chair

OKAY THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. well. this is all im putting down for now. ive been writing this 4 like an hour and am terrified of tumblr crashing mid-submisson, but i have more (general) headcanons if you'd like to hear them :)

Don't worry about spoilers I know everything, well except crystalized I don't want to be spoiled for that. And also HI! I missed you anon!

yeah like first you see them and it's just like sparkles all around and then eye contact and you rush at each other and just start chatting! Like for Nya and Zane nya just jumps off the Dragon while Kai's about to explain his plan and she just goes to the and they both yell 'YOU!' with so much excitement that it just confuses Kai. Jay's just heart broken she likes Zane??? like he loves zane and all but zane?? really. and then they're just like this is my soul bound!! and Kai's super happy for his sis but he's like 'sis gtg save wu common have fun soon' and Jay's happy he's still got a chance! plus Zane's helping him.

yeah Nya doesn't give the interviewers much ground just like 'yeah the rumors are true but like I"m telling you who' and just leaves it at that.

Yeah Every time Zane dies she just like no he's still here, I have a few sketch Ideas I'll get to soon. and season 4 is different cause they know he's alive so while they hold a memorial for the people but they also promise to find him.

So the beginning of season 4 lloyd's still gonna get them all but they're all looking for Zane and Kai's looking for both Zane and Pixal cause he know's something happened to her but hasn't gotten to telling the others yet, been busy looking for them.

So lloyd gets everyone cause he got a lead, Chen's invitation. And he shows them told to only tell the other elemental masters. Garmadon still figures out though.

And the rest of the season is mostly the same but when they find Zane Kai's like 'pix??" Cause he can feel her even though she's not quite there, no body and all.

Nya ATTACKS Zane when they see each other during the fight, and freaks when he goes missing not long later, 'I just got that idiot back!" Kai's also worried about PIxal but less cause 'she's smart she knows her limits... I hope'

And I just realized both Smith's are gonna be with Zane a lot since pix is in him so they are just a trio (quartet) you see together a lot.

Right! like Kai even right after zane's staring at her cause he got stuck in the door lol just pushes him and like zane and Nya just kinda yells "You!?" and pix stares back in shock like I'm a robot I dont' get a soul bound right???

And they chat for a bit and then they split cause she's busy and Kai has to go see borg, they promise to talk when they get back.

Zane's probably a bit jealous at this.

And when she's evil kai doesn't like it and Jay and cole have to drag BOTH Kai and Zane.

Not sure if I want Zane to be outside with the technoblades or kai. ughs decisions decisions.

And when Pixal is out fighting the ninjdroid army it's both Kai and Zane out there, It takes them longer to figure out how to break the glass cause kai's smart and the others aren't. as smart or good on their feet. Jay and Cole aren't gonna figure it out. rip them.

They still get the power off though

xD Zane has to deal with pix being hot a lot but it's ok cause he's ice still bothersome though.

OH! But with Zane and Pix sharing a heart the Smith sibs are also connected now!! And when she's in him, it's faint but the two(smiths) defiantly feel it.

Yeah I don't know if I want Pixane or Hotwire in this au. ugh hard choices.

Yup hug zane hug Kai<3

Yeah I just imagine Morro throws the Realm crystal and grabs at Wu's hand. Not gonna die today!

Yeah I was thinking Morro went to the monastery and saw it burned down, he's upset I mean that was his home. so he starts to rebuild it, somewhat not too sure how to do that.

But then Lloyd's the leader and doesn't know what to do he's trying but he's still a kids. So morro tentatively offers advice sometimes the two being on better grounds since morro helped cole and the two are both human now. Cole and morro are working on the waterphobia. so bonding with lloyd's brothers

Morro helping with his knowledge on ghosts during day of the departed helped him get more into the group (he doesn't like this though and prefers to stay back when they go on missions. but he's around got to make sure lloyd doesn't die.)

And Morro really wants to find his dad. he's with Nya and Lloyd.

And then lloyd has a crush. oh but I need to rewatch that season before I talk about it cause I forgot a lot of stuff. so I'll get to that later.

Yeah! I'd love to hear more headcanon! I love making this little au with you! you're sparking lots of Ideas in me<3

And I was also trying to pair up the other's and thought what about Echo and Jay? and it hasn't left so do with that what you will.

10 Women Who Are Always Mentioned In Hip Hop

Central Cee made a song titled, “Doja”, mentioning the rapper and Doja has responded. Women have been one of the core topics in hip hop since the genre began. Rappers rap about women in most of their songs. Whether it is to glorify, berate, thank, or hate, rappers love talking about women. I don’t blame them. Men and women encounter each other every day, so why not talk about it. Specifically, though, there are women who get brought up more than others. Most of the times, it is an attention grabber or just a shoutout. Let’s look at some of the most famous women mentioned in hip hop lyrics. 10. Oprah Winfrey Oprah is rich! And rappers know it and love it. She is also more famous than most of them, which makes it better. Rappers have thrown Oprah’s name in their songs left and right. Whether they wanted to date her or wanted her to be their sugar momma. Oprah is a wanted woman. There are artists who would love to take Steadman’s place. https://twitter.com/bighomieshouse/status/1237217332642144267?s=21&t=M5JV5xLPIgvsR3t5Gtenpg 9. Kim Kardashian It’s too easy to mention Kim Kardashian in a song. Since she has hung out with Paris Hilton, she has been around numerous athletes, rappers, and tycoons. It’s a small world in Hollywood and word gets around quick. Rappers have either had ties to her, knows someone who had ties to her, or anticipate having ties to her. https://twitter.com/maccaoz18/status/289303441145212928?s=21&t=M5JV5xLPIgvsR3t5Gtenpg 8. Nicki Minaj The Queen of rap has been turning heads for over a decade. When she first came in, all the attention went to her ass. As we haven’t seen a woman in rap with all that junk! It’s easy for rappers to put her name in a lyric as she is in the same league as them. She still gets the adoration as she gets better with age. https://twitter.com/teejay_ke/status/401533567253348352?s=21&t=M5JV5xLPIgvsR3t5Gtenpg 7. Nia Long Nia Long is a favorite amongst rappers. Rappers have adored Long since the 90s. And still to this day, she is a wanted woman. Too bad Boston Celtics Head Coach Ime Udoka took her off the market. https://twitter.com/teamdaveeast/status/339838020377276416?s=21&t=M5JV5xLPIgvsR3t5Gtenpg 6. Lori Harvey Lori Harvey’s name just started being brought up in songs. She has been seen with artists like Bow Wow, Meek Mill, & Future. Word on the street, she is pretty cold hearted after calling it quits with Michael B. Jordan. Don’t let the fact that she’s Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter fool you. https://twitter.com/celebrity_mafia/status/1261399801704222720?s=21&t=M5JV5xLPIgvsR3t5Gtenpg 5. Beyonce Just like Rihanna, everyone loves Queen Bey. Even though she is married to Jay-Z, rappers still don’t hesitate to put her name in their lyrics. And out of respect for Hov, the artists are never disrespectful or derogatory. Well then there’s Kevin Gates who said in his latest freestyle he would let Beyonce piss on him. I’m not sure how Hov felt about that one https://twitter.com/bxyrxh1/status/1338489036609101825?s=21&t=M5JV5xLPIgvsR3t5Gtenp 4. Karrine Stephans Nicknamed “Superhead”, Karrine Stephans was known all over the industry. She was known for being with many rappers, most notably Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes. It was easy to put Superhead in a song with a name like that. She became so famous she even wrote a book about her experience in the industry. https://twitter.com/quitefrank/status/23141462094905345?s=21&t=9JfIvelrmoUqrU6nwPWp5g 3. Halle Berry In the 1990s and early 2000s, many rappers mentioned Halle Berry in their songs. Whether it was to point out her beauty, her acting, or how they would treat her, Halle was a wanted woman. https://twitter.com/halleberry/status/1402640818729594882?s=21&t=9JfIvelrmoUqrU6nwPWp5g She was hot on the Hollywood scene as she was always in the media. 2. Rihanna You can hear Rihanna’s name mentioned a lot by rappers. Everyone loves Rihanna and wants to be with her. Now, that she is with ASAP Rocky, no one has a chance. Rappers have been mesmerized by Rihanna’s beauty, talent, and Barbadian accent since she started. Not too many people have gotten the chance to woo the Fenty founder, so why not get her attention by putting her in a song. https://twitter.com/teejuug/status/456182192021176320?s=21&t=9JfIvelrmoUqrU6nwPWp5g 1. Monica Lewinsky Monica Lewinsky has been mentioned in numerous hip hop songs. From 2 Chainz to Jeezy to Beyonce, Lewinsky’s name can be heard by many. Her infamous moment with President Bill Clinton will never be forgotten. It has been written in books and said many times on record. After Beyonce named dropped her on Renaissance, Lewinsky has called for her to remove her name from the song “Partition”. https://twitter.com/1realblossom/status/1554641027545325569?s=21&t=9JfIvelrmoUqrU6nwPWp5g Written by: Brandon Simmons Read the full article

PRLS FINAL

Living in the United States being Latina is not as easy as it seems. Don’t get me wrong we get the best of both worlds but we are always for some reason being judged. My parents migrated from Mexico to the United States for a better future and I appreciate it a lot. I am proud of them as well for what they sacrifice, I know leaving their home land and coming to a different country is not easy at all. Having to learn new things and work with complete strangers must of been hard for them to adjust to a lot. I also know the language barrier they have is a lot to take on. Like I have stated in my first or second journal it’s hard to adjust to certain things.

I was born in the Bronx but raised in Brooklyn and currently still living in Brooklyn. It’s also hard when you don’t even know what to identify yourself with anymore. I once met a girl at work when I worked at the YMCA and she told me

Girl: Where are you from?

Me: I am Mexican why?

Girl: Because you don’t look like you’re Mexican..”

Me: Oh I always get that but what exactly does a Mexican look like?

It’s not what I want to hear at all, the girl may have not meant that in any way but comments like those are just annoying. It’s like every race is suppose to look like “something” Because I am Mexican I must look like a Taco? or my complexion has to be brown? I just think society is full of so many stereotype's and it just needs to stop. Ignorance is all over the world and we need to change it and how people view things especially about different cultures and people who are just different from one another. What the girl told me always stuck to me because I really wonder how people think and if they think about what they say.

I take pride of being Mexican American. I am a proud Latina who is not afraid of showing off my roots. Growing up in a Mexican household I was always talking Spanish only because my parents don’t know English and most of my family members don’t know either. When I started school I was pulled out for ESL because my first language was Spanish. I had a friend who was advanced in English during Kindergarten and he would help me talk to my teacher and ask to go to the bathroom or ask what I needed. I was thankful for him because I was so young I was only 5 years old and felt like I was the only one who was struggling in class and it wasn’t a good feeling because I was very shy and scared. I felt like I was going to get in trouble for not knowing any English. Thankfully as I went through each grade I started knowing English properly by like second grade.

Fast Forward to middle school being Latina felt more normal and like I fit in. My middle school was full of people who spoke Spanish and came from parents who are Latinos. I still remember that my transition from Elementary school and middle school were way different and a little hard for me because I always felt like I was a very shy young girl, never liked to speak to anyone. The lack of being able to socialize and make friends because I felt alone and scared of bullies and other children because believe it or not children at that young age can be very harsh to one another with what they say. I met friends during middle school I remember being happy because the feeling of alone wasn’t a thing for me anymore. I had my own group of friends and remember it being great three years of my life.

Moving to high school was different in a good way. I went to a school that had 3 other schools in that same building we each had our own floor. Each school consisted of 100 students so it was a small amount. My school was (John Jay) located in Park Slope 7th ave by the Barnes & Nobles. My school consisted of a few Hispanics and African Americans and very few white people. My school was not very diverse but I loved who I was surrounded by. As a Mexican American I was always told by my parent’s don’t “cut” school (meaning like leave in the middle of school day) or like not to be a high school drop out because back then a lot of high schoolers were drop outs especially the Hispanic community unfortunately. I felt like I was always labeled like I wouldn’t succeed which was never my case. I always wanted to make sure I achieved all my goals and I am glad I made it through high school, graded with my associates and currently in the process of getting my bachelors. Anything and everything is possible no matter where you come from.

My Goodbye:

Big shoutout to our professor for being so great and thank you to all my classmates this class overall was great and wish I could retake it again. I struggled this semester to keep up with work and felt overwhelmed majority of the time. I hope everyone had a great semester and did great and until next time!!! Enjoy your summer everyone.

James & Ava

James: [okay so we all know the mood is that he sees whatever she's posted and literally goes there immediately with no thought of who else could also be cos he NEEDS to check that she's alright. The drama of it all] Ava: [but luckily no one is there and she'd be so shocked but also grateful 'cos no one wants to be alone and feeling unwell, esp. not in hospital] James: [when he'd have to say he was her brother so he can take her #awkward] Ava: [lollol finding that more amusing than you would otherwise 'cos concussion breaking your awks] James: [oh she'd be so cute I can't] Ava: [just hugging him so hard] James: [we all need that moment but sadly it cannot last forever because he'd have some driver doing circles endlessly cos there's nowhere to park at hospitals ever] Ava: [seriously, and it's so expensive] James: [when you were so desperate to get in there you didn't think about how long it could have taken like she could've been admitted and that driver is just lowkey out there for the rest of time] Ava: [lmao i wonder how long he'd wait for that bag before getting bored, luckily they'd low-key be ready to get rid 'cos too busy and overcrowded] James: [practically pushing her out the door as soon as they saw someone show up for her so he doesn't even have time to give her a feelsy speech lol] James: [just help her out to the car boy, you've had a lot of practice with drunk girls in heels and it'd be the same vibe] Ava: [just saying thank you over and over] James: [meanwhile he's asking her if she's okay over and over like every step they trying to take here] Ava: ['Oh God, you must think I'm so stupid, I swear, they came out of nowhere'] James: ['We both know you're not stupid, Ava' shout out to that text cleverness 5ever tbh 'I'm just glad you weren't seriously hurt'] Ava: ['How have you been, I've been so worried' shoutout to this concussion giving me shameless freedom lol] James: [when you can only shake your head because 1. you ain't been good 2. you don't wanna tell her any of it and 3. you don't think you deserve her worry/ want her to worry about you] Ava: [sad face] James: [stopping to stroke said face, don't fall over girl, he's got you] Ava: ['James-' and then just looking 'cos what can you say] James: [looking back at her cos likewise but then you gotta drop them eyes cos so sad] Ava: ['you look tired' and making more of an actual effort to get into this car] James: ['I am tired' but helping her in and doing her seatbelt for her because not gonna see her struggle ever, telling the driver her address because there's nowhere else you can take her but home even though you have no idea if as soon as you get there someone is gonna show up for her and you obviously don't want that] Ava: [patting your shoulder like 'you can come sleep' like no no one can babe] James: ['no' but a little smile cos she's cute af 'I'm supposed to keep you awake'] Ava: [when you make a face like 😏] James: ['by which, of course, I mean, you've got a 8 hour date with Edward Cullen ahead of you'] Ava: [grinning like a fool but then being like, wait 'you'll stay though, can you?'] James: ['I'm not going to leave you alone' oh the heavy unspoken implication that she might not be if the friends or fam descend 💔] Ava: [resting your head on him as a silent thank you but then lifting it like 'so awake, promise'[ James: [stroking her hair and keeping an eye like] Ava: [being like let me tell YOU a story and honestly God knows but it'd be cute and she'd be trying to match his storyteller energy] James: [when that's lowkey the moment he falls in love with her bye] Ava: [asking the driver to play the new moon soundtrack] James: [loling and honestly when was the last time he did that, we all know it was when they were together] Ava: [live the emo life and love it babes] James: [he's GOTTA dance in his seat to keep her awake, no other reason #notanerd lol] Ava: [just clapping and cheering him on like nothing to see here driver God bless] James: [so not what that man was expecting to 👀 or 👂] Ava: [freaking out drivers is low-key a fave] James: [the one time you're happy about London traffic tbh] Ava: [even though we ain't gonna interrupt, you don't know that boy] James: [speaking of, probably send a text or something to check on the kids because you just ran like assumedly they at their grandparents but] Ava: [never leaving 'em with Chlo we all know] James: [lord her and Jay would kill each other] Ava: [I'd genuinely be worried for her safety so don't blame you remotely boy, least her parents are invested] James: [literally though & you can have those grandparents forever babs we ain't taking them away from you] Ava: [awkward that your mum never shows but that's just that on that] James: [lbr that's for the best stick with your dads kiddos] Ava: [we all know it, even if Matty might not end up remembering much] James: [Ava lowkey her mum now oops] Ava: [and Jay's actual auntie...lol what a tangled web we weave boo] James: [at least they can all stay connected] Ava: [true facts] James: [makes my heart happy even if it's weird] Ava: [lean in to how weird this family is James] James: [they weird af but they're better than the one he's got #noshadetoTeddythough] Ava: [all the shade to you Chlo, sort it out] James: [her poor future children & husband] Ava: [honestly, good luck] James: [he'd have to be about everything she is or else what the fuck] James: [anyway we've been sidetracked get to Baze's house you two] Ava: [movie marathon awaits, what else do we vibe or shall we just try and see what comes out, like] James: [let's just run with it and see what happens because we extra and anything could be said and done tbh] James: [imagine how awkward it'd be when they get there because he'd have to send her in first and just be shitting himself in the car like is anyone there or no] Ava: [at least you know full well no one is there 'cos business trips forever so you're just at the door shaking your head and doing the 'come on' gesture] James: [he'd just help her to the sofa like immediately & get her blankets and pillows and painkillers (even though it wouldn't touch a concussion headache) and a phone charger and everything else she could possibly need cos Chloe's got him trained like a dog] Ava: [low-key pulling at him, gently, like boy sit down] James: [when you are then looking at her like what did I forget/ do wrong before you realise] Ava: [squeezing his hand because you can only say thank you so many times, putting the film on but then pausing and gasping so dramatically 'coffee, I promised you coffee' and going to get up like can you be careful please] James: [thinking she's in pain or something because of that gasp so being at her side like 0-1000 and slowing her down cos they can do it together thank you] Ava: [making a face at herself like ffs when she catches on 'I'm not trying to age you' and touching his non-grey hair and wrinkles like totally necessary yep] James: ['but you're offering me coffee, what's next red meat or red wine?' but no actual shade cos we both know he doesn't care and none of that is what's aging him anyway, taking her hand from his face and gently kissing said hand before handholding to lead her to her own kitchen like let's do this] Ava: ['I don't know where my cigarettes are' shrugs and smiles like sorry not sorry, smiles even harder but lowkey stops breathing when, kissing ontop of where he just kissed her hand, then getting to this all-singing all-dancing coffee machine 'you have to pick the most daring option, one you've never, ever tried before, okay?' and waggling her finger like so serious about this] James: [takes his own cigarettes out of his pocket and slides the pack over to her 'okay' and does pick, really concentrating on the decision even though there'd be so much shit he hasn't tried and we all know he could just pick option 1 and be done] Ava: [takes one out and puts it behind her ear for later 'cos no need to light up in your parents home, just watching him 'cos so cute and then nodding like yes, good choice and picks the same, setting up this machine 'cos they're always more confusing and/or time-consuming than they need to be I swear] James: [where's the lie you gotta have the knack I swear, his turn to watch her now though because she's beautiful doing anything ever and he missed her so bad] Ava: [ahh coffee goodtimes forever] James: [he needs it cos he is tired af so thanks Ava you babe] Ava: ['do we talk about what happened, or do we write it off?' when you just saying this casually whilst waiting for your coffees] James: ['I don't know' because he is genuinely torn between wanting to and also not] Ava: ['Wait and see how we feel' 'cos no rush or pressure here 'you better carry these though' 'cos we don't need burns as well ty] James: ['wait here a minute for me' because carries the drinks through and then comes back for her because why not carry her though as well obvs] Ava: [does and loves it 'I've missed you, you know'] James: ['I know now' just giving her 😍 casually 'I've missed you too'] Ava: [😍 right back 'Ask anyone' when you're talking about your mood but you realize that sounds like you been telling the world lol 'I mean, I've been a delight' 🙄] James: [when you shake your head like no it's okay 'I overreacted about your cousin, I'm sorry' takes a deep breath remembering that whole sad ending moment 'And I'm sorry for fucking up the start of your summer' because she loves it and he knows] Ava: ['I understand why, understood, whatever. And I am still sorry, I was just too excited and-' sighs like, you know, squeezing his hand again 'I promise, that's all sorted now though' 'cos clearly told her it's over by now, 'cos thought it was anyway; she nods like thanks but shrugs like it's okay too, don't worry 'Sure even I can't be grumpy in the Seychelles, like'] James: [blatantly almost kissing her because he understands the whole being too highkey thing because he was (*cough* is) too but doesn't because she's going away 'when are you going?'] Ava: [sad face like you didn't just say you aren't gonna be grumpy 'when my parents get back, couple of days'] James: [strokes her face again like he did earlier 'you'll feel better by then' because someone's meant to watch you for 48 hours actually NHS website says] Ava: [😈 me 😇 her looking at him 'how did you even- why- I-' continuously cutting herself off 'cos you know he was checking in on you now and you know he came without hesitating so it doesn't need to be said 'Oh, James'] James: ['Ava' saying her name with SO MUCH feeling that I cannot 'I had to' when you mean so many things by that like you had to go but you have to stay now and you had to make sure she was okay today but also you had to keep checking on her the whole time] Ava: [definitely gonna go in to kiss him can't stop that soz] James: [we all know it was only a matter of time and that this is gonna turn into a not at all casual make out session] Ava: [you honestly deserve it lads] James: [that coffee gonna be cold and they won't even notice] Ava: [the movies are also not being watched lmao but no one cares rn] James: [on pause forever sorry not sorry] James: [but eventually like after AN AGE one of them should lean on the remote or whatever so it starts playing and they're like wtf] Ava: [when you shit yourself like who is here but then loving 'cos hi Edward] James: [we all shitting ourselves and all loling] Ava: ['he's very possessive' no lie] James: [looking at Edward and then kissing her again like when you're trying to make someone jealous] Ava: [when you're loling too hard into his mouth like 'scuse me] James: [kissing her neck instead so she can have her adorable lol] Ava: [reacting to that in a v different way] James: [we back at it again at krispy kreme soz twilight saga] Ava: [i swear to god the ily curse is so real] James: [this always happens to us, don't talk for a bit lads, wink wonk] Ava: [its because we give them such high-pressure situations but yes, you should fully hook up 'cos haven't yet] James: [I wonder if the orgasm headache thing would work for a concussion one or not] Ava: [my boo says #experiment] James: [imma google it but I don't expect an answer] James: [nobody is telling me but if it can help a migraine I don't see why it wouldn't] Ava: [you'll be fine bitch, just a shameless excuse that he needs to hang around longer] James: [we should totally also do the shameless thing when he falls asleep and then wakes up immediately but is like oh no how long was I asleep because not only worried about her we know] Ava: [for sure, just there chilling like 🥰 'not long, but you looked peaceful'] James: ['I was' and more 😍 'I am' just snuggling happily because deserved af] Ava: [kissing the top of his head 'good' then lying down and snuggling harder 'I'm so glad you're here, that you're okay'] James: ['I'm glad that I'm here & that you're okay' kissing her forehead and holding her so tightly because he was so worried that something much worse had happened to her] Ava: ['It was kinda scary how much I missed you- like I said I WAS extra but I think, no, I still am, I can't lie to you'[ James: [when you are just falling so hard for her rn smiling like look at this perfect 😇 'you don't have to miss me any longer, minus however long you're spending in the Seychelles, of course'] Ava: ['Yeah?' trying but failing not to sound so hopeful 'And two weeks, so not as long as it has been, not that I was definitely counting or anything'] James: ['I was afraid, no, I am afraid but very few things have ever scared me as much as when I saw you were in hospital & I thought-'] Ava: [just holding him back even tighter like you could not be closer 'I'm so sorry I scared you, I won't ever do it again, even if I get hit by something more substantial than a 90lbs mum on a lightweight bike' and shaking her head with a lil lol 'cos it is funny even though it can be as bad as a car crash actual sometimes] James: ['You scare me in the best ways, you don't have to stop, I don't want you to' because think of the new things he's already done and the new things he's already felt, it makes me emosh goodbye] Ava: [when that's the hottest thing you've ever heard like 'scuse me round two] James: [you've actually got all night for once so make the most of it lads] Ava: [like literally no one needs it more than him so I'm allowing it, there's enough shit happened, happening and still to come] James: [amen to that] Ava: [happy bubble forever] James: [if only like, he is NOT gonna wanna leave in the morning but maybe we could say that like Jay has a playdate with friends or something cos soz babe you can't keep a secret so he just gets the baby and comes back] Ava: [that would be a moment] James: [just casually meet each other how cute] Ava: [have a normal, happy day like you're meant to oh] James: [you all deserve it truly] Ava: [meet your potential future stepchild babe] James: [do we wanna have them go out or stay in?] Ava: [🤔 obvs really want them to go to Kensington Park 'cos Peter Pan and like obvs I doubt anyone who would be bothered to report to Chloe is gonna be there but it is risky so maybe save it idk] James: [we will bookmark that for the future because MUST but they could take Frank on a walk somewhere cos we ain't referenced that sweet sir even if it's just through the streets like] Ava: [that's a good shout, you better be a good boy lol] James: [and don't cockblock them rn please] James: [they'd look like a little fam, I am FINE] Ava: [and lowkey behave more like one in one day like the bar is so low tah Chlo] James: [the scolding tea] James: how are you feeling? Ava: 😊 So happy Ava: Only a bit tired from the whole staying awake thing and you keeping me awake, like 😏 Ava: oh, and Frank said you've redeemed yourself so well done there too Ava: how're you and the girls? James: I'm happy to hear all of that James: has your dizziness gone? James: we're fine, but tired too Ava: Yeah Ava: barely a headache Ava: and my parents get in early AM so I should be all set to go when they do get here James: how much packing is there left to do? Ava: All of it but deciding which 14 bikinis I wanna take shouldn't take too long James: are you sure? I think it would take me a really long time to decide Ava: I'll put some stories up Ava: You can help me Ava: I reckon I need your clearly more considered opinion James: of course you do James: you wouldn't want to spend the entirety of your holiday wishing you'd chosen differently Ava: so true Ava: especially as I'm not allowed to pack my pout James: everyone is well aware of how important the pursuit of a tan is to you, darling, anything that jeopardises that, well, it's bound to be very pout inducing James: you'll be forgiven Ava: I don't know if my family is as forgiving as you Ava: perhaps they don't like my pout as much Ava: they definitely aren't as supportive in bikini related decision making James: I'll dedicate paragraphs to both James: multiple lengthy ones Ava: It'll seem gratuitous in the movie but nothing is too much for the book James: as long as it remains included in the director's cut James: or else I will be devastated Ava: I'll demand it in my contract Ava: I think it'll be a first in favour of taking your clothes off instead of keeping 'em on James: thank you James: you do deserve a multitude of firsts, honestly Ava: you deserve so much Ava: much more than I'm allowed to give you Ava: that reminds me Ava: as I can't give you anything as a thank you, I've had to get creative James: so much of what I deserve is negative & there is nothing you owe to me in any capacity, thanks included James: but I'd never want to discourage creativity Ava: Shh sh Ava: in the spirit of firsts and trying new things Ava: when you're all less worn out, go to [a sassy but kid-friendly cafe/restaurant that's a bit out there and exotic and definitely nowhere Chloe has ever made you take her] and tell 'em you're eating on me, yeah Ava: then when I get back and you're free, you're coming over and I'm cooking James: Ava Ava: It's already arranged, I go there all the time, it's the 2nd best Brazilian food I've had James: you've been to Brazil for the 1st, haven't you? I can tell Ava: Actually no, mores the pity Ava: but my Uncle is Brazilian and a chef, my cousin too Ava: having a big weird family has unexpected perks Ava: if you like it, I already have a recipe lined up that's meant to be 🔥 but even a novice like me can master it James: you'll have to wait patiently for my review because I regrettably can't send you a picture of my face after the 1st mouthful to serve as one, but okay Ava: I'll do my best Ava: though having any patience when it comes to you doesn't seem to be my strong suit Ava: arguably not a virtue I'm known for, ever, but especially now James: I'll do my best not to miss you so hard that it's physically painful but that doesn't appear to be my strong suit either & as previously agreed, I won't make any promises I'm forced to immediately break Ava: Oh Ava: Knowing it wasn't just me finding out that painful cliche is painfully real is somehow a comfort, to know you'll want to avoid the feeling as much as I do from now on but it also hurts me even more, the idea of you having to feel it at all in the first place Ava: but there is no conflict in just how hard I'm looking forward to seeing you again after this ill-timed holiday James: I don't ever want you to be in pain because of me, I have to insist on only the good cliches going forward James: devastatingly a postcard can't be included in that Ava: Hmm, got any long-lost great aunties I can pretend to be? 🤔😂 James: If I do my wife is bound to be aware of them, their current financial situation & any possible health concerns they are facing Ava: Valid Ava: Don't need to give her any more reason to 💀💀💀 me Ava: At least no holiday is complete without the obligatory narcissistic poolside shoot James: suffice to say I've never had a complete holiday, in that case Ava: I bet you've had to be cameraman plenty though Ava: so rude when you're so nice to look at James: & yet I've never been trusted to pick a filter Ava: 🙄 Ava: does she not know that you're an artiste James: no, it's our secret Ava: 😊 I like that James: I like you Ava: I like that more James: I wish I could see you again before you go Ava: Me too Ava: I kinda wish I weren't going James: how early are your parents getting back exactly? Ava: like 4am kinda early James: I won't make you stay awake again James: I know how tired you must be Ava: 🥺 James: I'm so relieved that I can't see that look on your actual face Ava: It's 💔 Ava: but I'll survive Ava: about James: you're a very strong person Ava: You James: I'm not Ava: You are though Ava: you put up with so much shit James: is that strength or is it weakness? Ava: I think it's strength Ava: You can't necessarily stop shit happening or get shit out of your life Ava: no matter how strong Ava: and you manage to do all the shit you have to regardless James: I'd like to think you're right Ava: Then you should Ava: I encourage it Ava: 🤓 me James: you are undeniably clever Ava: Try to be Ava: when I'm not standing in the middle of cycle paths, obviously James: I heard you say that bike came out of nowhere Ava: Yeah Ava: I miss you already Ava: Frank is not as good a nurse, like at all James: if you can fall asleep now, I'd feel less guilty about the prospect of asking you not to later James: should I hypothetically be able to get away Ava: 🛌🏃 Ava: Promise James: I can't give you a promise back Ava: I know Ava: but this way, I either stay asleep and that's that Ava: or I get the best surprise to wake me up James: what did I do to deserve you? Ava: This is the part where I say something very bad but Ava: you don't seem capable Ava: you're just James: whatever it was, I need to know so I can keep doing it Ava: just be you Ava: another cliche you've proven to be true and real James: this fortnight without you is going to be really cliche James: there's no chance of it existing beyond the 1st draft Ava: not even for my eyes only? James: well James: maybe Ava: Please please please James: okay James: you are my fairest critic & you do have beautiful eyes Ava: Yours are better Ava: but I won't be too jealous if I get to look at them more James: I definitely can't promise not to be envious of everyone in the Seychelles who will get to look at you more than I can Ava: Do you ever get a decent lunchbreak? Ava: we could facetime James: I'll figure something out James: because my dad takes the longest lunch breaks, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's the 80s Ava: 😏 we love a throwback 🙄 James: I'll take Matty to work with me, she'll distract whoever I need her to Ava: She is very cute Ava: I see it James: I won't be saying anything the like of that if she won't sleep tonight though Ava: 🤞 for you and her Ava: shame she's not yet at the walking stage Ava: Frank is so 💤 James: I can't keep her in any kind of routine, it's frustrating for both of us Ava: That's hard James: it's harder for her than it is for me, she never knows what's happening Ava: She'll get there Ava: I was the worst baby Ava: hopefully before you totally lose your mind, 'course James: I find it impossible to believe you weren't 😇 Ava: I was pretty premmie so my poor parents were confined to perpetual bright light for ages when I got home James: both the girls were so late James: that was an entirely different struggle Ava: I can imagine how delightful Ava: usually excusable but when you set the bar low to begin with 😬 James: the last thing I want to do is badmouth her to you, but as we know, sometimes things write themselves Ava: I feel you Ava: not a cliche I particularly wanna be either James: of course not Ava: but you can vent, you know Ava: I don't even have to reply, just if you need to put it somewhere James: no, I can't Ava: okay, just a suggestion James: so much of this is already not fair to you, Ava Ava: I don't think it is Ava: you've never lied about any of it, you're always realistic about what you can and can't give me Ava: and I'd like to help, in any tiny way I'm able James: you don't know what she's like & I'd rather you didn't have to know James: let's keep it at you don't do sympathy Ava: I know very little but that's not positive so it doesn't take your author level of imagination if I wanna go there without your guidance Ava: and it isn't sympathy but okay Ava: I won't mention her and you don't have to either James: I just can't have you seeing me differently because Ava: I'd never see you differently because of what she's like as a person James: it's too big of a risk for me to take, that you'll end up thinking less of me than you do now Ava: You can trust me Ava: but you don't have to Ava: I won't push anything, I don't need to Ava: as much as I want to take things fast in so many respects, I'm never going to take it where you don't want it James: it isn't you I don't trust James: I'm not a reliable narrator, she's made sure I'm not Ava: However...intertwined and diluted you feel your story got, because of her, because of whatever Ava: it's always gonna be your story to tell, if you want it Ava: and I'll always listen to how you tell it James: Ava Ava: James James: if it was a story I was in control of I'd come to the airport & tell you not to go James: cliche or not Ava: and I'd stay Ava: but that's far too much like a happy ending and we've only just begun James: you're right again Ava: don't sound so surprised 😉 James: I was actually trying to decide where it falls on the scale of ideas & habits, good, bad or somewhere in between James: that you always seem to be Ava: Have you drawn a conclusion yet? James: I couldn't possibly tell you James: you're supposed to be asleep Ava: damn Ava: you'll tell me in the morning? James: yes Ava: Okay, I'll go, as long as you know it is so reluctantly it's practically under protest James: & I won't stay here hoping you don't, as long as you know it's under identical conditions Ava: Noted Ava: Goodnight and sweet dreams for whenever that happens for you then, love James: thank you

so i did watch broken rules but there’s no post on it because tumblr freaked out, and first just borked my post, an then when i decided to write it in notepad instead, it was being a butt with formatting

so we’re skipping to road to 19th anni [dresden]

LOL THEY HADN’T TRANSLATED THE FUCK YOU THAT TIM SAID

so casually

bless

the music they chose for this is odd but ok

kinda eighties, isn’t it?

speaking of, i miss the music htey used for ambition

i like andy jackson’s blazer. very nice burgundy color

i like that animation they have for the shotgun belt

i don’t think they should use the full history intro unless it’s a big title match though - this is just a random 3 way

BRING JAY FK ON THE AWAY SHOWS

oh god did francis dye his hair blond?

wtf andy there’s aren’t dqs in a three way

rammstein and wrestling are the real reasons i can count to ten in german

‘franCIS???’

veit offended by that crossbody attempt

jay sweetie....you shoulda known that wouldn’t work on avalanche

i don’t mind hearing tommy talk but it’s a bit odd to have him explaining the plot instead of having a video package

oh here one is? the one from before?

‘why does cheating make us the bad guys?’

man maggott is so hot

wxw has a lot of dramatic phone calls

i already know the plot point in this match so...

pretty bastards more like pretty trashcans, amrite?????

ohhhh juju this is a bad idea but i respect it

OHHH that double final lap was sickkkk

this ref looks like a balding version of this one ref who works (worked? idk) in evolve

no people stop chanting nxt

has he even been on the show yet?

i knew the betrayal was gonna happen so i’m not SHOCKED

that finishing combo is great though

oliver really needs to like, fill in that africa tattoo cause it looks like he just drew on his chest

i mean, its not a good tattoo placement but we can’t change that

lol pete saying lucky is al internet hype when ‘pete bouncer is a hottie’ is a long running twitter meme

ok now that they’ve been doing work on ivan’s motivations for betraying lucky, i actualyl buy it

oh wow ivan’s new portrait is so creeper

~i want to see my little boy~

tommy: here he comes

~i want to see my little boy~

god those purple tights are so good

and i actually don’t mean that in a thirst way, there’s some nice detail and the color looks good on ivan

also purple is my favorite color

aw lucky didn’t quite hit the ‘try a chop but hit the pole’ spot

? according to andy jackson, ivan used to play basketball? interesting note i guess

as much as i love lucky, i hope ivan wins this so purge club actually look effective for once

is it just me or has it been a whiel since we saw that pele kick?

so is this feud going to have real drama or what

lol jurn has no friends because he’s...jurn

but rotation u are a child

jurn this is why you don’t have any friends

axel tischer’s smile is so pure

ur gonna die :)

aw dammit i was really looking forward to ilja vs wolfe

yay wxw remembered women can be in teams!

shoutouts to deutsche orange cassidy

(i don’t remember what ‘orange’ is in german)

ohhhh that jacket is sickkkkk i love it

another thing i love: the dresden crowd

i would say skye for next champ, but that would mean a heel vs heel championship match

kelly is long overdue to have the belt again but putting the belt on anyone signed to wwe seems like a bit of a foolish choice

i wish amale had done that thing where she rubs her boot in someone’s face so hard they’re falling out the ring after those two kicks in the corner cause those were rad

i miss melanie

what the fuck was roxy trying to do there against amale during the pin attempt? it was like she was gonna do a spear and then decided last moment to just bend over instead

good match tho....but where’s the plot for the women?

wait tim vs bobby isn’t the main? i mean, i guess cause the match was originally hometown boi vs hometown boi..but still

wait andy jackson just said rotation was in the hospital because of tyler colton? (in kayfabe, of course) i feel like we should have had a video segment about that

ugh AJ this outfit is so bad

so does rotation mean to always be wobbling on the top rope? because it looks sloppy but he does it so often i wonder if it’s intentional?

i know rotation is a nice boy but i am sometimes ambivalent about his wrestling

it is kinda hard to take him seriously against big bois

also he takes like five minutes to do a dive

PEC FLEX FIGHT

WHO IS THE MANLIER MAN

GRGRERGGWEGRAS

YELL

MANLY

um no crowd, levaniel is the princess. aj doesn’t have the hair for it

i hate tyler colton’s little rat tail

is it really long enough to even be called that thought? it’s more like just a rabbit tail

ok that was a fantastic hot tag

i gotta admit seeing jurn toss around aj is fun

ahh it’s been a while since we’ve seen the massive kick

who is legal in this match

andy jackson called that kiss a ‘judas kiss’ and that is perfect

ROTATION JUST FUCKING DO THE FLIPPY ALREADY

this match is going on a lot longer than i thought?

or maybe not actually longer,but has a lot of false finishes?

tyler colton is kinda boring maybe?

jurn why are you pacing just kill aj already

i hope jurn starts using the massive kick as a finisher again

oh DAMN rotation going HAM

good for him, really

i could be into hardcore boy rotation

aww jurn is proud

THIS HAMBURG MATCH BETTER BE A STREET FIGHT

ohhh here we go timo gonna beat up bobby again

aw they didn’t sub the ‘fuck you’ again

dresden pls boo bobby ok?

>:(

ok there are some boos, and not a ton of cheers, to be fair

lol there’s literally one dude chanting GUNNS BOBBY GUNNS

oh there are the boos! people were just grooving to the music

i love tim so much his thumbs up is so dorky but it works

ohhh look at him glaring at bobby

did he just do the same thing from that master ken video

damn tim looking to straight up murder today

oh FUCK that finger bullshit

um guys you may wanna activate the lights on the stage

i mean i guess watching wrestling in silhouettes is very avant garde

ok i’m ready for them to get back in the ring now

oh damn that was shorter than i thought!

that finishing sequence was great, honestly; good crafty wrestleshit

oliver, andy jackson is Disappointed in You

very disappointed

oh man i’ve never ever seen him enter with the ringkampf theme before

oh that logo with the axes is sick

was axel tischer ever wrestling as part of the ringkampf stable with tim et al? he left before english shotgun started so i have no idea

hell the only other time besides carat i’ve seen him in person was nxt live

what does heimspiel mean

oh! he’s wearing trunks!

honestly i know next to nothing about axel tischer

STOP CHANTING NXT

yes chanting for the local promotion is better

oh duhhhh i just remembered that is also the imperium theme so it makes sense for him to come out to it now

it’s pretty fucking shameless how wwe just makes low rent versions of stables that were already popular

i think this is the most non-flips i’ve seen out of oliver carter and i like it

or maybe i just don’t remember a ton of oliver carter matches...

OH SHIT

HE WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE ROPES

FUKKKKKKK

lol no protection for the fans

i noticed that in the tim/bobby match too - there’s no people shooing people out of the way

boo these awful pretty boys!

TIM ASSIST!

VEIT!

oh ok maybe he does not need assist

no he does

oh it’s juju!

oh juju....

oh here that motherfucker is!

i guess i should have expected ilja to show up in his hometown despite being injured

goddammit ilja’s butt even looks good in jeans

it’s not ok

yes crowd, we know nxt is in orlando, can we move on

ummmmm are we please not doing a karsten x amale angle?

NO MORE 3 WAY DANCES

COME ON

yeah bobby you can’t talk about losing when tim fucked you up

YESSS PLEASE BREAK BOBBY’S STREAK

hahaha he barely remembers bobby’s name

now i just want axel to call bobby ‘robert schilds’ and make fun of his hairdo back then

About The Writer Tag

It’s sharing personal information time! (happy music)

Okay, so I was tagged on this one by both @worldbvilding and @thelimeonade, so I’m doing this for both of y’all because I’m PRETTY sure the questions were the same xDD

The rules for this game are simple: answer the questiones about myself and then tag other people. Simples!

LETSA GO

Nickname: Don’t really have one, to be honest! I mostly just go by Harold. Though demented souls insist on calling me “Hozza” LMAO

Zodiac: Taurus

Height: Last time I checked, I was 5’7-ish

Time: uuuh 7:43 PM, Spanish time (I’m currently in a house in the middle of nowhere, about three hours away from Madrid. Nice and isolated xDD)

Favourite band(s)/artist(s): By default I guess I’m a fan of Imagine Dragons because I have a bunch of their songs on my Itouch :P. Artist-wise, I lean into a lot of soundtracks for my music; my favourite composer is John Powell (How to Train Your Dragon 1-3, Ice Age 2-4, Chicken Run), but I also like Jay Vincent (Ninjago) and Ramin Djwadi (Game of Thrones, Iron Man)

Song stuck in my head: it’s not actually stuck in my head but I’m currently listening to “The Night King” from the Game of Thrones season 8 OST (say what you will about how that final season turned out, the music was just as good as it’s ever been if not better)

Last movie I saw: You know what? It’s actually been too long since I just sat down and watched a movie, so I can’t say for sure xDD That being said, Into the Spiderverse is kind of always on my mind, so. I’m just gonna give that as my answer.

Last thing I googled: The logo for Marvel’s new “Loki” series? I wanted to show it to some friends, I think

Other blogs: My main!! You can find it at @haroldosaur. I used to have an art blog and an incorrect quotes blog, but when I lost my account they both went and I’m holding back on remaking them for the time being

Do I get asks? As a general rule… no, not really. Though sometimes my friends will shoot me something (specifically shoutout to @dawnuchiha)

Why this username? Well, I want the focus of my writeblr to be a specific series – namely, the Power of Ages series. It all kinda follows from there LMAO

Following: 45 blogs in total (and maybe that’s not that many but I’m STILL not writing them all down here)

Average amount of sleep: Like, 7 hours? Maybe? It depends, because my sleeping and waking hours are generally inconsistent but I sleep like an absolute rock

Lucky number: 7. I know it’s a lot of people’s lucky numbers but IDK, I just like it :3

What am I wearing? Pants. Literally just pants. It is sweltering here

Dream job: On the one hand, writing professionally would be absolutely fantastic, but on the other, I’m not sure if I’d want to make a career of it, because that might make it less fun. Guess I’ll have to see how that plays out as I get older.

Dream trip: I’m just coming off the back of three weeks of interrailing across Europe, so right now I can’t imagine being happy going anywhere other than back to my room and hibernating for a couple of months xDD

Favourite food: mmm I like me some chocolat biscits

Instruments I play: Drums, mainly! Also I have a kazoo, I’m working on learning the Swanee Whistle (which isn’t as impressive as it sounds, let me tell you), and I sing in the shower pretty consistently

Eye colour: Blue.

Hair colour: Dark brown.

Aesthetic: Standing in the rain, a blinking power button, a discarded pair of glasses, stacks of empty hot chocolate mugs, a box of Lego, coloured pens and empty notebooks, a thunderstorm at sunset, a windswept bridge, an ancient temple, a cup of fresh orange juice, an idle word document

Language I speak: English, mainly, though I am working on learning Spanish! (Duolingo please stop emailing me challenge)

Most iconic song: “Fight as one” by Bad City

Random fact: If the biolizard gives Shadow fifteen apples, and then Amy gives Shadow another sixteen, and Tails takes away three, the total mass of the sun is 3. (as verified by Obama)

(also ASLKDFJALSDF I’m sorry if this sounds like absolute fucking nonsense, it’s a reference)

Okay! A fun one. I’m gonna tag @ragethewriter and @raevenlywrites!

Lana: Isle vs Auradon

a/n yes it is I, Bianca, aka @darlingsteveharrington , back from the dead and ready to write for Descendants again. So I posted these a while back and I have since revamped them and I am so much happier with these. My babies have been reborn!!!! I’m so happy to be writing for them again I missed them so much anywho (also requests anyone?)

also shoutout to @askhaylieooc I saw your ask and I have no clue what happened but it’s not there anymore :( I did see it though and thank you 1000 times over for showing interest in my OC's and inadvertently helping me start writing for them again <3

Lana on the Isle

All through her childhood Lana never once stepped foot on the Isle. She was raised in the Underworld by her father. The closest she ever got to it was her father’s restaurant and even that place was nothing compared to what was outside its walls. Her mother died on the Isle of the Lost and, despite what most people thought about him, Hades was almost overprotective of Lana.

She has on occasion visited Mount Olympus though. It was always when there was a meeting of the Gods. Her father, being the God of the Underworld, was invited to them (albeit a little reluctantly). The Gods were different than the people down on Auradon. Staging a failed coup wasn’t the worst thing one of them had done and so they always greeted Lana with open arms. It was during one of those visits when she met Kellan wandering around the gardens.

That was the first time Lana had had a living friend. A few days later Yen Sid delivered a letter to the restaurant. Kellan had sent it to her from Auradon. They exchanged letters back and forth and Yen Sid soon became her designated messenger, not that he minded much.

Hades was quite possibly the only parent on the Isle who genuinely cared about his kid. He had a temper, for sure. More times than one he banished people’s souls but still, that was tame compared to some of the more…spirited villains. It was part of the reason why Hades had avoided sending her to both Dragon Hall and Serpent Prep. Instead, he sent her to Elysium three times a week to be taught by some of the better ancient philosophers. “C’mon Lana, who doesn’t want to be taught by some dead guy who everyone thinks is so great”

Hades actually tried to talk Lana out of finally heading up to the Isle. “Lana, those people are crazy. Trust me, you don’t want to be around them” “Can’t be any crazier than the ones down here” After a lot of arguing Lana finally convinced him to let her see the Isle. They compromised and he armed her with a dagger that was said to be able to rip the soul straight out of your body.

Lana was a bit of an urban legend around the Isle so there was a lot of talk when she finally left the Underworld. Mal and Jay were the first ones to approach her. “It’d be in your best interest to fall in line with us. I’ll even teach you everything you have to know about his place personally” “Sorry, I don’t fall in line very well”

That day she went to Yen Sid to pick up her letter and that was when she was approached again. “Your Hades’ kid?” “Who’s asking?” “He came to the Chip Shop a few days ago and told us you’d be heading up soon. Recommended we take you under our wing” “Did he? And who might you be?” “Uma”

Uma and her pirate crew adopted Lana almost immediately. They called her ‘the purest thing on the Isle’. Lana hadn’t been exposed to enough of the chaos to become as corrupted as the rest of them and it had made her more than a little naive. She was trained to defend herself by Uma’s best, Harry and Gil.

It wasn’t long before she ran into Evie in the markets. Lana caught her trying to take some fabric from one of the little shops. “You really should get better at that, you know” They talked for hours and eventually somehow ended up in Evie’s castle looking at all her designs. They exchange some scraps they had gotten ahold of and at the end of the night they’ve successfully made each other a new outfit. Lana becomes almost as close with Evie as she was with Uma and the crew.

Lana told Evie about her single encounter with Mal and she laughed. Ultimately she did convince Lana to talk to her one more time to try and fix things. Reluctantly, Lana followed Evie to Mal’s loft and although she didn’t think she was the best, at least they were on speaking terms. Jay she thinks is pretty okay. Besides Evie, Carlos is her favorite.

She watches him tinker with whatever objects he can find. Eventually, she develops a habit of stealing items from the pile of things that had been confiscated from the new souls. She takes whatever she thinks Carlos will like and gives them to him. They have a lot of surprisingly meaningful talks late at night as he’s messing with whatever object she’s brought him.

The more time Lana spent up on the Isle, the more she realized why everybody, didn’t matter where they were from, looked towards Auradon with longing. It was just out of arms reach, taunting them every single day and she too grew tired of it quickly.

Two guards, each with the symbol of the palace, found Lana one day and handed her two letters. She recognized the one from Kellan and opened it immediately. You’re going to love it here, Lana. I convinced Ben to let you come along and I’m already making a list of everything you have to see first. Lana protested going to Auradon all the way back to the Chip Shop.

“There’s no way I’m going off to Auradon while all of you stay here” “You’re going Lana” “No I’m not. Good luck making me” “You can’t just turn down the prince of Auradon” “I can and I will” “No you won’t” “I’m not leaving you all behind. You’re all more deserving of that place than I am” “Then go and you can help get us there next”

It took hours of convincing before Lana agreed to consider going. She went back to the Underworld to talk to her dad about it. She was more than a little surprised by his answer. “Take the chance to leave while they’re giving it to you” “But what about you?” “I’m gonna be fine, Lana. Besides I got Cerberus to keep me company”

Lana watched the Isle disappear from the back window, almost melancholy.

Lana in Auradon

Lana’s foul mood disappeared quickly once she saw Auradon up close for the first time. She stepped out of the limo that was sent to pick them up and immediately more whispers started. Everybody had a good feeling about who she was for two reasons. One, she was obviously not completely human: the children of the Gods were always exceptionally radiant in a way no one could quite put their finger on. Two, Kellan hadn’t stopped talking about her.

Kellan wasted no time in rushing through everybody, running past Ben and Audrey (almost knocking over Fairy Godmother in the process) and practically tackling Lana as he shouted her name repeatedly. The two of them talk animatedly back and forth for a few minutes, not paying any attention at all to what Ben is saying. It’s not until he clears his throat, telling them he’s about to start the tour that they pay him any attention. Kellan literally begs Ben to let him take Lana. “Come on, babe! I promise I’ll bring her to you in one piece later. (Ben agrees, mostly because he is almost incapable of saying no to him)

Lana takes to Auradon immediately. By the end of the day, she’s caught on to plenty of things and talking to dozens of people. She even talked to Chad for a while, whether it was completely civil is up for debate. As promised, Kellan takes Lana to Ben and needless to say she had a lot of things to say to him. Ben had never been so intrigued by somebody the way he was with Lana at that moment.

It doesn’t take very long for Fairy Godmother to realize that Lana is way ahead of the others academically. “Please, the schools on the Isle are a joke. Maybe if you spent more time trying to educate people other than the royal kids we would have genuinely reformed villains kids” Her constant remarks are what land her in Remedial Goodness 101 with Evie, Carlos, Jay, and Mal.

Lana spends a lot of time learning the politics of everything and what the best way to get her friends off the Isle would be. She asks Ben a lot of questions, after all, who better to ask than the future king? More than a few times she’s been found sitting where ever faces the Isle, a guilt-ridden look on her face.

Lana quickly becomes a huge fan of tourney. Kellan drags her to practice one day and she gets probably way too into it. After one practice Kellan offers to show her the ropes and she quickly finds out she’s terrible at it. Nonetheless, she still enjoys watching and a couple Friday nights later she starts getting way too into the games.

After Jay, Carlos, Evie, and Mal get a call with their parents Lana gets one with her dad. They spend a good hour or two talking and only stop when Kellan joins them. “Oh hey Uncle Hades” “Kid, I’m not your uncle” “You kind of are though”

The longer she spends in Auradon, the better Lana gets at hiding how mischievous she really is. She’s able to talk her way out of whatever trouble she gets into. Usually anyway. Ben is the only one she just can’t seem to convince and it drives her insane.

Speaking of, she hates the fact that Mal opted to use a love potion on him. True love is a big concept on Auradon and although Lana didn’t quite believe in it herself it wasn’t fair to be manipulating it. It causes a huge rift in her already rocky friendship with Mal. “Oh come on, your dad is a villain just like our parents. Don’t act like you don’t want what we do” “Of course I do but manipulating somebody into thinking they love you just to use them to do your bidding is terrible on a whole other level!”

She may not agree with Mal’s method but she still takes her side after the whole incident on family day. Lana was easily the one who had fit in on Auradon the fastest and easiest. Her father had been declared a villain and so that made her a villain’s kid, despite people’s opinions that she ‘didn’t count’.

Later that day is the first time Lana’s hair turns to flames. Some snide comments from more than a few people set her off. She starts screaming profanities, her eyes go dark, and her hair turns to blue flames. She ends up being dragged away from the scene by Jay. It takes close to four hours for the flames to die down.

She has to be carefully guarded until everything dies down. It means Kellan gets into a lot of fights that week. At one point it’s the about the twelfth time he’s late to class and Lana has had enough. “What do you think you’re doing?” “I’m defending you” “I can handle myself, thank you very much” “Yeah well it’s been proven that you’re scary when you’re angry so trust me, getting punched by me is the better option”

Evie requests Lana’s help in getting their coronation outfits ready and the two of them have the time of their lives. One conversation leads to another and somehow they decide to create their own label if all goes well.

Lana’s thrown off by the entire coronation. She quickly comes to the realization that she doesn’t like the spotlight. A lot of her time is spent beside her family who all came down just for Ben’s coronation. She spends it mainly with Persephone, who reminds her of a lot of home and her father.

She’s a little bit surprised after the whole fiasco that happened at the coronation. But she can’t deny that the second Maleficent shows up she begins plotting how to get her friends off of the Isle. Her attention is taken, however, by Mal insisting that she wants to change. If she’s honest, she had no idea that was going to happen. But still, she helps defeat Maleficent and watches as everybody comes to again. “What was that?” “That was me taking into account what you said. Turns out you were right, Lana”

Lana and Evie offer to make Adelaide and Eva outfits for some event they both have to go to and they love them. Soon the two of them are getting commissions from most of the girls in school. They send Kellan and Jay on runs to get more materials for them and they quickly establish a system that works near perfectly.

Two months after the coronation Lana starts spending a suspicious amount of time with Ben. Suspicious in the sense that he always seems to be around, whether it’s while she’s hiding in Kellan’s room or running into him in the most random of places.

It works to her advantage eventually. Even as time passes she doesn’t forget about trying to get her friends off of the Isle of the Lost. She has her fair share of arguments with Ben about laws and proclamations and such. “It’s not as simple as you make it seem” “Isn’t it though? I’ve been through countless pages of documents and there’s not much standing in your way. You’re the King of Auradon, Ben!” “You are insufferable you know that?” “Likewise”

There is so much tension between the two of them and everybody starts noticing it. It isn’t until a conversation Lana has with Mal one day that she realizes it herself though. “You know even while under that love spell, which is one of the most powerful, mind you, Ben always found a way to bring you up” “No he didn’t” “Oh I can assure you, he did”

Lana is the most stubborn person and so the next day she very begrudgingly asks Ben if he wants to go to some postseason party Kellan is throwing with her because “everyone says we have tension and I kind of think they’re right so here I am embarrassing myself and I get-” “It took you long enough” They’re officially dating the next morning.

Lana finally draws up a proposal that both Ben and his committee agree on and not even a week later Uma, Harry, Gil, and the rest of the crew are on Auradon. She is so excited and literally will not leave them alone. It’s then that she understands Kellan’s enthusiasm when she first arrived. “Lana that’s the fourth bathroom you’ve shown us, I think we’re okay for now”

Exactly a day later she’s causing trouble with them again and it’s like she never left them. Lana also may or may not have gotten a little emotional. “You said you’d get us here and you did” “How could I possibly leave you guys behind?”

#lana has so much potential #i'm excited to get to write more!#also i need to revamp my tags lmao #lana #lana elsie #daughter of hades #my ocs #my oc #lana headcanons

Dating Drama - Part 3: The Fight

By: SassyShoulderAngel319

Fandom/Character(s): DC, BatFam, SuperFam - Jason Todd/Red Hood, Conner Kent/Superboy

Rating: PG-11 (for a big verbal fight)

Original Idea: Part 2 got too long so I made it a Part 3, and @batboys-and-other-messes had a lot to say that helped me make this! HUGE shoutout to her for helping so much, and even writing several lines of dialogue that kept the fight going!

Notes: (Masterlist)(By Character)(About Me) I’m so sorry Jason for hurting you like this I’ll make it up to you soon I promise. This one has a shouting argument so read with caution if you don’t like verbal fights. Side note: I legit actually teared up a little while writing this. @welovegroot

Part 1, Part 2, Part 4

^^^^^

“Conner? Seriously? Conner?” Jason demanded. I rolled my eyes. “You barely wake up to someone else’s hand on your face and your first instinct is it’s that abomination and not your f*%$ing soulmate?”

“Jay, chill,” I snapped. “And don’t call him an abomination.”

“That’s what Kon means, doesn’t it? In Kryptonian?” Jason retorted.

I sighed. “Yes, but he’s a good man.” I pushed some of my hair out of my face while Jason fumed. “Bear in mind, Jay, that in total, you and I have been together for all of one year—including before you died. Conner and I were together for three-and-a-half. He was always the one holding on to me when I woke up from illnesses or getting knocked unconscious. It’s a force of habit.”

That didn’t seem to calm him down any. I rubbed my temples but didn’t bother to continue defending my actions. I’d made my point.

“It’s not just that, Starbeam,” he said, ready to explode any moment. “It’s… everything!” He gestured wildly with his hands.

“What do you mean?”

“Do you think I don’t see the way you look at him? I know that you still love him, but do you even try to change that? Do you even try to hide it?”

“What do you want me to do?! Pretend that those last three-and-a-half years never happened?!”

“Of course not. I just want you to love me the way you used to!”

“We were teenagers, Jason! Were we even in love?”

He took a step back as though I’d slapped him. There was hurt in his eyes.

I backtracked. “Sorry. That was taking it a little far. It’s just… you grow up and look back and wonder if it was true or just hormones,” I said. “I know we’re soulmates, Jason. I can see the thread between us. Tying me to you and you to me.”

“Then why don’t you act like it?” Jason snapped.

Okay, ouch. It was my turn to take a step away from him. “Explain,” I said, being sharp to hide the pain.

“Your affection is forced—like you’re doing it out of obligation rather than actual affection. You think I can’t feel how hesitant you are when you kiss me? How you try not to flinch away from me every time I touch you?”

“I’m not used to you anymore, Jay! Your touch is different from Conner’s! You just feel different and it takes me a moment to remember it’s you!”

“How is mine different?”

“Conner’s always really gentle because of his super strength. He’s afraid he’s going to crush me so he’s extra careful not to!”

“Are you saying I’m not gentle with you?”

“I’m saying you’re not overly gentle,” I said, trying really hard to balance on the line between honesty and not hurting his feelings any more than I already had. “You know your own strength. You know that no matter how hard you hug me you’re not going to break my spine. Conner doesn’t. He barely touches me at first. It’s like I’m feeling a ghost on my shoulders until he adds a little extra pressure. You just sling your arm around me and I’m not used to that feeling.”

“So, you want me to do that?” Jason asked sharply.

“I want you to show affection how you show affection,” I said.

Jason paused. “And how do you show affection? It’s been so long since you initiated anything that I don’t remember.”

“Don’t do that,” I warned, fighting to keep my eyes from watering. “I’m trying, Jason.”

“Trying to do what? To fall in love with me again?” he snarled.

“Yes. And I already feel like I am, but part of me will always be Conner’s.”

Jason closed the distance between us and grabbed my upper arms. I stiffened, freaked for a moment that he’d hurt me. “That’s the problem! It’s not supposed to be like this! It’s supposed to be just you and me!” His voice was a low, almost guttural growl of anger.

“I’m not the one who upped and left for Qurac without telling anyone!” I snapped, shoving his arms off of me. “I’m not the one who got himself killed!”

“Don’t. You. Dare,” Jason snarled. “I got murdered and you’re blaming me?!”

“No, but you didn’t even tell me you were leaving! Bruce I can understand. But me? I felt you die, Jason! When the string between us burned black it actually burned. Woke me up from a dead sleep! I cried myself to sleep after your funeral!”

“How long after I died did you start dating that clone? Hmm? Bruce replaced me. You replaced me. The one person I thought wouldn’t—”

“What did you expect me to do? Stay hung up on you forever? Or move on and find another chance at happiness?!” I interrupted.

“I would have hoped that you would have waited a little longer to play the rebound game.”

“YOU STAYED AWAY FOR THREE YEARS!” I shouted.

“I HAD NO MEMORY FOR MOST OF THOSE! I WAS IN A COMA FOR ONE OF THEM!” Jason yelled.

“Hey Jay? Bruce was wondering—never mind,” Tim said, entering the room, turning pink, and immediately leaving.

“You know what?” I snapped the second Tim shut the door behind him. “You should be grateful to Conner. If not for him, you’d still be dead!”

“AND THEN WE’D ALL BE HAPPY!” Jason exploded. “I’d be dead and you’d still be with your precious Superboy! Maybe you’d even be married by now!”

My heart cramped. I elected not to tell Jason that the conversation of marriage had been touched on when Kon and I were together. I just felt like we were too young and I wasn’t ready just yet, back then. And not long after, before the subject could come up again, Jason returned to Gotham.

“I came back but… you’re still gone.”

“Jay…”

“Don’t,” he snapped, but it was a quiet snap—which was almost worse. “I know you don’t love me as much as I love you. I know you love that abomination more than you love me.” He snorted out his nose and looked to the ceiling, trying to hide that his eyes were watering. “Dying took everything away from me. Including YOU!”

“Well it’s your fault!” I spat, knowing I was crossing the line but so far past angry that I couldn’t even rein it in. Jason’s death wasn’t his fault—it was the Joker’s—but I couldn’t claim to be thinking clearly. “You left without telling me you were leaving—you left without saying goodbye! You put me in this situation! You put us in this situation because you didn’t want anyone to know where you’d gone! You died! And I was heartbroken! Conner was there for me when you left me! Why do you think I ran so quickly to him? I was lost and alone confused and devastated and looking for comfort—and there he was, offering comfort and compassion and company and solace to me freely.”

Tears spilled out of Jason’s eyes, prompting me to rub my own—and realize my cheeks were wet too. I wasn’t sure when mine had fallen, but it was recent enough that they hadn’t dried.

Jason glared at me. His eyes, piercing blue and flashing with the gunmetal tint of violence and darkness they’d always had, bored right into my soul. There was also a plea in them, though. Begging me not to say the words that were bubbling in my brain like an unwatched pot of water on a stove turned up too high.

But I was on a roll now.

“And that’s not even the worst part,” I continued.

“No?” he challenged, an angry set to his eyebrows. “What can possibly be worse than losing your soulmate?”

“The reason you’re losing me now,” I answered. “You lose something when you die. Your mind. Your soul. Something. You came back to this world different from when you left it, Jason. And the worst part is I’m furious with myself that I can’t force myself to love you!”

Jason didn’t just take a step back away from me. He stumbled backwards until his back hit the wall like his legs could no longer support him and I’d shoved him in the chest. But I hadn’t touched him. Another pair of tears slid down his face and splashed on his jacket, dripping down the leather with ease.

The gold string tying us together flared with a fiery flash and died down. Usually when we were in the same room it shone with a pleasant luster, but now it was the dullest, almost rusty gold I had ever seen it.

Jason recovered quickly, replacing whatever he felt at my words with more anger. “Fine then! Don’t love me! Don’t even be in the same room as me if you’re just going to pine for him every second you’re with me!” he spat bitterly.

^^^^^

Conner winced and nearly fell out of the sky, listening in to Starbeam’s fight with Red Hood from three miles away, his heart breaking for her with every word they threw at each other like the knives and shuriken that they both kept in their personal armories. He knew he shouldn’t have been listening, but he was. He’d heard Jason say his name and tuned in—just to make sure Jason wouldn’t hurt Starbeam, Conner promised. Her heart rate had spiked at one point, and it had taken all of his self-control not to go bursting in and taking her away.

When her voice shook with the tears that fell down her face, Conner found himself fighting back his own tears. They were from several strong emotions churning in his head. Empathy. Sorrow. Worry. But most of all, surprise. She… didn’t love Jason? Really? She… still loved… him?

He shook his head to knock the thoughts out of it and swept his bangs out of his eyes. That wasn’t important right now. She was hurting and everything else had to wait.

He couldn’t bring himself to leave just yet—though he should have left hours ago once he knew Starbeam wasn’t going to die of the infection she’d contracted.

^^^^^

I took a step back with one leg, just so I wouldn’t fall over as my balance swayed. “What are you saying, Jason?”

“I’m saying I’m not going to force you to be my girlfriend. Our souls may be tied together but your heart is elsewhere. You and me? We’re done. Unless you sort yourself out. I love you. You’ll always be my lucky star. But I love you enough to let you go.”

Before I could say anything, he stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him with a frightening sense of finality and yelling for Tim to ask what Bruce wanted.

I stood, rooted to the spot and frozen, eyes wide with surprise and tear tracks down my face. My soulmate just broke up with me. Was that even allowed? My eyebrows scrunched together, and I stared at the shut door.

Everything was just falling apart at the seams. Why had I taken that mission with Kon instead of letting Tim take it? Why did I think I could handle it without everything I knew and counted on crumbling around me? I knew I wasn’t over Conner yet and I did it anyway. What kind of idiot was I?

I bent forward, closing my hands over my face and breaking down in tears. I let myself sob for a few moments before looking around. Wayne Manor was full of all sorts of memories—most of them benign but several of them painful. I couldn’t be here right now. I had to get out.

I ran to the bedroom that had always been mine. My clothes were in the drawers and my backpack was on the bed.

I threw what I needed into the bag and bolted out the front door. My pack was thrown carelessly into the back seat before I got into the driver’s seat and tore off down the long drive. I had no idea where I was going. The only word in my mind was away.
