ANGST! because i like causing problems on purpose.
based on THIS post !
this isn’t canon to alice’s tvd/legacies verse it’s more like a secondary verse to that verse that now unfortunately lives in my head rent free. i literally just thrive off of chaos and pain for my muses. happy halloween, what’s scarier than traumatizing one muse? traumatizing two!

she knit her fingers together rubbing her thumb along her palm. "i don't know," alice liked the sound of proving them wrong, but she didn't know how. it wasn't like she was a particularly good student or person. she was just there and she'd made dumb decisions she'd have to live with.
Tumblr media
"i just don't know how to make people change their minds about me. not everyone's as nice as you." maybe he saw the good in her other people didn't, that she herself struggled to see, but that was just it. she wasn't entirely sure what was good about her. the way she saw it, she needed a whole personality overhaul. "god, i sound so exhausting."
Tumblr media
" then is it really what you're good at, or do you just think that because of what somebody else says? they want it to get to you, so don't let it. better yet — prove them wrong. " if he could do it, even halfway, anyone can. making everything worse had felt like a special talent, for a long time ; sometimes it still does. sometimes the best intentions still turn sour, and doing everything still isn't enough, and the boulder keeps rolling down the hill. but there has to be a reason to keep pushing it back up.
Tumblr media
" you don't have to be anything that you don't want to. you're better than that. and maybe you don't believe it right now, but you will. trust me. "

@khozmoh sent those were good times we shared. i think about them a lot.
Tumblr media
neither of them were particularly skilled in the art of sleeping. that meant, when they were in the same city they could often be found together when they couldn't sleep. when they weren't alice called, cosmo usually answered. while she was in college, her sleep schedule got even worse which cemented their late night calls as part of the routine. then, alice left school, and started playing with a band she'd been apart of in college full time. she had other people to spend her late nights with, but that didn't mean she didn't miss cosmo. calls with cosmo were home for her, and she'd been the one to stop calling. so, of course she'd invited him to a show in some dingy club in san francisco when they played there. they'd had a bigger turn out then expected, but in alice's mind she was playing just for him. it was an 'i'm sorry for getting too caught up in life to call, i hope you get why' show. she was still riding the adrenaline high when she pulled her friend from the crowd and into the bar area afterwards. "i do too. i really didn't mean to ghost you like that. i miss our talks a lot."

@implsvly sent ❛ yeah, i can make you an omelet. ❜
Tumblr media
normally, she wouldn't accept eggs as a food. she usually smothered them in salt, pepper, chili flakes and hot sauce. she didn't exactly het to be picky when she'd fallen asleep on his couch after their work out session and hadn't woken up until slater wanting to be fed woke her up. by then it was early morning. she'd already accidentally stayed over, so she tried to go back to sleep, but that didn't last long. alice had wandered into the kitchen when travis was making himself breakfast, rubbing sleep out of her eyes. she appreciated that he was willing to make a second omelet for her despite the imposition. "thanks, travis," she smiled over at him from across the kitchen. "sorry for crashing on your couch, it was a long day yesterday."

alice didn't know what her mom would think of her. she wanted to think she'd be proud that she made it to the other side, but god, did the other side keep throwing things at her too. she'd done shit she wasn't proud of, that her mom wouldn't be proud of her for, but at least she'd lived through them. so far.
Tumblr media
"i do make things worse, it's just what i'm good at." whether or not her dad was right about anything else, he was right about that. she wasn't good when the going got tough and she was shitty at dealing with it. "i just- i don't wanna be a fuck up forever, and it's really nice that you don't think i am, but everyone else does." her teachers, most of the other people at school. it was all a hole she didn't know how to dig herself out of.
Tumblr media
that's where he might be considered lucky, and the weight of that feeling on his chest is a lot like guilt. his dad was never much of a dad, but he always had his mom. he still has his mom. scott can't imagine what his life would look like without her ; can't wrap his mind around that kind of loss, and it doesn't seem right that alice has to. all i do is make things worse. that isn't a small thing to sit with, even if it isn't true.
Tumblr media
" — i don't believe that. and it doesn't sound like your mom would, either. " and there's a good chance that just saying it won't change anything, but he means it without pity. he means it. " and ... look, whatever your dad thought you were, or weren't — that's on him. none of it was your fault, okay? none of it. "

@moonyrising sent ❛ maybe i'm just not built for this. ❜
"no, no, remus," she reached up and cupped his face with one hand. with the other, she pulled him closer to her and intertwined their fingers. "listen to me, that's not true at all." she knew how easy it was to fall into that trap of thinking badly about yourself. she needed him to know that no matter what, she didn't ever think that way about him and no one they knew did. "you're more than built for this. you're a good person, a kind and smart person."

@ghostbloomed sent ❝ i’ll go with you, if you don’t want to be alone. ❞ / camden
she was perfectly capable of doing this by herself, but she didn't have to. she didn't have to do every big life milestone by herself anymore. her family had shattered and piece by piece she'd put it back together, some parts of the old one remained: camden, isaac and nicole, but the rest she'd fixed with new faces. it was nice to have people who cared enough to ask whether she wanted someone to come with her for something like going to get her first passport. "of course i want you to come with me. government people are scary." it'd be nice to have someone in the waiting room with her so she didn't psych herself out.

@contradictivs sent " where the hell did you go ? "
"you didn't need me. we won the game." alice had needed to take herself out of the game and she knew just how to do it. she'd told coach she was on her period and that it was bad. she'd started going into intense detail, but he'd told her just to go deal with it. he dodn't want to hear more. it wasn't her proudest moment, but she got off the field before she hurt anyone. she generally had control over the shift, but playing games and oncoming full moons didn't mix well. she'd had to get off the field. "don't worry about it."

@moonyrising sent ❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜
"i know, i can hear it too," alice told him, a hot blush rising in her cheeks. she really couldn't help the way her heart beat around him. they were so close their legs and knees were touching, squished facing each other in the back seats of her car. "i just- it's silly-" alice leaned forward and whispered, "i just realized how easy it would be to kiss you right now. i mean, when you're not towering over me."

obsessed with the fact that we now have TWO data points for people's trust in alice being the lowest stat this is the only valid answer, 100% trust in her is not good

@ghostbloomed sent " can you hear my voice ? " / from isaac
"i can hear you," alice called out, trying to focus on him instead of the feeling of darkness closing in around her. she knew she had at least an arm's length on all sides of her, but she'd already begun to shrink down to the floor of the closet. making herself smaller in the space did nothing really, it didn't make her less trapped, but it made her feel like she had more space around her than she did. "get me out of here. isaac, please," she whimpered, resting her forehead on her knees and wrapping her arms around herself.

@kindofuneven sent "the only people who keep insisting they're not terrible parents are terrible parents."
Tumblr media
alice nodded, every single word scott said, she knew to be true but it didn't fix anything. it didn't erase the past or make it easier to swallow. her dad had insisted he was a good dad, that the pressure he put on them was because he wanted the best for them. really he wanted them to be the best, and if they weren't the best in his eyes, they were the worst. it was hard to shake that. words and actions echoed in her mind at every mistake and misstep. "my mom wasn't like that...i miss her so much." she'd always been enough for her mom, then she was never enough for her dad. "i just don't- don't know what to do when i'm not good enough. all i do is make things worse."

@cosmicjest sent "since when have i had the power to stop you from doing anything?"
Tumblr media
"never," alice listened to jack, she trusted his opinion and obviously she loved him. still, when she got something in her head she wasn't going to be talked out of it. the best chance he had was for her to be talked into doing it a different, and or safer way (when the circumstances called for it.) "okay, maybe once. there has to have been one time, right?" that didn't mean it would change anything, but it might make him feel better.

@implsvly sent ❛ did you just throw a fork at me? ❜
Tumblr media
"no," alice brought a stack of dishes over to the sink and set it on the counter. "i gently tossed you a fork with the knowledge that you would catch it, and the assurance you wouldn't actually get hurt if i did a shitty job tossing it." she began rinsing the dishes she'd brought over, nudging him gently with her elbow. "you're fine, trav. don't get your ego bruised just because you forgot a couple forks out there." she was teasing of course, it was just something stupid to keep prodding him about.
