it's sooooo cute when she's younger & then slowly she loses the accent it's like an angel has lost her wings 😔🪽🕯️

one of my favorite portrayal notes is that the younger hope is in a particular verse/thread the more pronounced her tennessee accent is bc she loses it more & more the longer she lives in new york

ACTION PROMPTS.

[ KNEE ]:          sender gently rests a hand on the receiver’s knee to stop them from shaking it.

[ MOUTH ]:          sender notices the receiver’s distress from across a crowded room, and silently mouths “are you okay?” to them.

[ JOIN ]:          sender follows the emotionally unsettled receiver out of a crowded party and into a secluded space to check on their well-being.

[ BREATHE ]:          sender begins to take slow, deliberately even breaths, encouraging the receiver to copy their motions until their own breathing is back to normal.

[ SPOON ]:          sender lies beside the receiver and becomes the big spoon to comfort them.

[ GLANCE ]:          sender glances at the receiver while in a public setting to assure them they aren’t alone, and ground them in doing so.

[ SHIELD ]:          sender deliberately stands in front of the receiver to protect them from a targeted attack (verbal or physical).

[ AROUND ]:          while sitting together, the sender quietly wraps an arm around the receiver’s shoulders as a support.

[ SHOULDER ]:          sender reaches out and places a hand on the receiver’s shoulder, both to catch their attention and silently ask if they’re okay.

[ JACKET ]:          sender notices the receiver beginning to shake after an immensely distressing incident, and removes their own jacket to wrap it around the receiver’s shoulders.

[ CATCH ]:          sender, noticing the receiver’s legs beginning to give out beneath them, rushes over to them and catches them before they collapse to the ground.

sometimes i slowburn so hard they don't even get together

ok but on the other hand savoring the rare times she is able to sleep in : ' )

the way i'm just realizing that hope pretty much always leaves bed first in the morning bc she has to get up at like 5 am to do bakery prep alksdjhfd i do think she would always give her partner a kiss first ( even if they don't stir & bonus points if they stir a lil & say something cute before passing back out ) & recover them if the blankets fell off the bed & make sure the curtains are closed so they can sleep in without the sun waking them & make sure there's coffee for them when they wake up . . . it becomes like a domestic ritual , first thing of the day is take care of her baby time <3 & then she feeds pumpkin immediately after

@agentharkness said : ❝ do you always get close ? ❞

her  initial  response  is  nothing  more  than  a  soft  shake  of  her  head  ,  lips  pulled  into  a  small  𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒆  -  as  if  she  knows  that  her  avoidance  is  unhealthy  ,  but  still  can't  seem  to  stop  pushing  people  away  .  ❝  no  ,  not  really  .  .  .  ❞

it  is  not  as  if  she  doesn't  crave  closeness  ,  she  does  .  more  than  anything  ,  &  yet  she  struggles  to  do  more  than  reach  aimlessly  toward  it  .  .  .  never  quite  able  to  touch  ,  always  just  out  of  reach  .  the  worst  part  is  that  hope  knows  that  she  is  the  only  person  holding  herself  back  ,  because  despite  her  overwhelming  desire  to  open  up  to  another  person  &  allow  them  into  her  inner  world  -  to  be  understood  ,  𝑺𝑬𝑬𝑵  .

in  actual  practice  ,  every  time  she  has  tried  ,  she  has  only  ended  up  a  crumpled  broken  thing  left  alone  to  pick  up  the  pieces  .  fear  of  being  hurt  again  ,  terrified  that  love  may only  end  in  𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒅𝒚  for  her  .  it  keeps  her  at  a  distance  ,  frozen  in  place  &  unable  to  move  forward  .  she  hasn't  quite  figured  out  how  to  overcome  her  instinctive  response  to  isolate  herself  ,  preferring  the  aching  cold  of  loneliness  to  the  prospect  of  getting  herself  hurt  once  again  .

❝  when  i  do  ,  it's  usually  on  𝑨𝑪𝑪𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑵𝑻  ,❞  she  admits  with  a  wry  smile  .

in other news - i love that hope , when pushed to her limits , can be legit scary . like esp in her marvel verses ? ? ? bc she goes through insane trauma constantly & also just by necessity of needing to be more intimidating & make up for being 5'6" with eyes like a doe stuck in oncoming traffic . just imagine seeing glowing blue eyes in the dark , unable to perceive anything else before you get simultaneously flash-banged & knocked off your feet in one go . plus she can do like . . . insane shit with her powers , there's so much stuff she has no idea she's even capable of bc hope baxter would never dream of half of it naturally . anyway like . . . imagine meeting her in vigilante mode ( v serious & trying to retain some mystery/aura farming ) vs regular hope cute little baker in a cute little dress like 'hi welcome in' 😊

@wnterslder said : 🤠 a … western au kiss even ? ?

when  their  lips  collide  she  surrenders  to  him  near  instantly  ,  melting  into  his  touch  &  reveling  in  the  way  he  holds  her  steady  against  him  while  her  knees  feel  as  if  they  might  buckle  any  second  .  it  has  been  far  too  long  since  she  last  saw  him  ,  it's  always  like  this  -  their  meetings  too  few  &  far  between  .  when  they  are  together  though  ,  she  𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑨𝑹𝑺  it's  like  no  time  has  passed  at  all  .

hope  would  never  admit  it  ,  but  she  lives  for  these  moments  ,  getting  to  experience  the  sudden  elated  rush  of  him  coming  back  to  her  once  more  .  she  pulls  james  ever  𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒓  ,  draping  her  arms  over  his  shoulders  &  crossing  her  wrists  behind  his  head  -  seemingly  worried  that  should  she  loosen  her  grip  he  might  disappear  again  .

she  silently  hopes  that  he  can  𝑺𝑻𝑨𝒀  this  time  ,  at  least  for  a  little  while  .

despite  how  light-headed  she's  beginning  to  feel  ,  which  honestly  is  just  her  typical  response  to  being  so  near  to  him  ,  she's  not  quite  ready  to  pull  away  .  her  lungs  ,  however  ,  beg  for  𝒐𝒙𝒚𝒈𝒆𝒏  &  she  is  forced  to  come  up  for  air  -  looking  up  at  him  with  a  half-lidded  gaze  &  dazed  smile  .

❝  it's  good  to  see  you  too  ,  ❞  she  teases  breathlessly  ,  tipping  his  hat  up  just  𝑺𝑳𝑰𝑮𝑯𝑻𝑳𝒀  so  she  can  better  catch  the  blue  of  his  gaze  .  ❝  was  almost  worried  you  weren't  comin'  back  .  .  .  ❞

Intimidation Meme

Sometimes it’s difficult for people to seek contact with each other because they can feel intimidated by others. Using this meme, you can send the symbols to my askbox that represent to you how intimidating I am to you. This way, it could be more clear to both sides how things are based on these feelings.

😗 - YOU ARE THE SOFTEST BEING. 😀 - I’m not afraid of reaching out to you. 😃 - To me, you are easy to approach. 😊 - I think you are a really friendly person. 😶 - I’m not sure if I can reach out to you. 😐 - You seem a little distant from others. 😓 - I feel like you would not really like me. 😲 - I’m afraid of reaching out to you. 😟 - I wish I had the courage to start talking to you. 😥 - I am very intimidated by you. I wish it wasn’t that way, because you seem cool. 😫 - I admire you from the sidelines because you seem cool and I’m just a dork. 😧 - Senpai, notice me???? 😦 - I feel really insecure when I want to reach out to you. 😨 - You intimidate me….a whole damn lot. 😭 - I wish I could be your friend but to me, you are so hard to reach out to. 😱 - I am so incredibly intimidated by you, it even makes me a little anxious sometimes. 💀 - OH MY GOD DON’T EAT ME PLEASE
