"Why is your wrist in a brace?" Well, Chris, I punched a living statue and jammed the fuck out of it. Nearly broke a couple fingers. She bought me a milkshake afterwards and grilled me on my relationship status. How'd you spend your Saturday night?

[sunshine-knight]

the fact that i have to be in the “right headspace” to do even the simplest tasks. absolutely humiliating

You know the friendship's gonna be a solid one when you spend twenty minutes wailing on one another, get split up by the medics, and then go out for milkshakes

knights can be created by other knights like vampires except instead of biting them they wack them on the shoulders with swords

Me, a week ago: hey Nelle I need you to work your costuming magic and this is the vibe and I need it by this date

Nelle, eyes glowing purple, voice dropping an octave: It will cost you, Mortal

Me: ... Yeah I was gonna pay your standard commission rate plus half again and bake you one of those dark chocolate raspberry cakes you like as an apology for the deadline

Nelle, normal again: fuck yeah deal

[[ooc: cackling over the people pushing for Bailey to ask Vee or Dick out. It's cute that you think you can get this out of the slow-cooker and into the skillet :3c]]

"I was lost in the fog, and he was the lighthouse that led me to shore."

Please just ask Dick out already, this is getting painful

I COULD NOT MORE CLEARLY HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT VEE AND NOT DICK GO TAKE A READING COMPREHENSION CLASS THEY ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT MEN

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to lead your gift horse across that burnt bridge but you can’t make a watched horse eat all your cans of worms in one basket

Okay... I've taken up half a cubicle wall with this diagram and I can hear the interns laughing but it's finally starting to make sense. In a completely nonsense way.

See, I've joked about the fact that I moved directly into a soap opera but actually I think I'm just genre savvy

Looking through old files at the museum and taking notes and. Golly. I thought my family history was complicated...

Really? Vee asks you for help, and you agree right away, no questions asked. You're acting like an eager puppy. It's depressing. How much do you actually know about this man?

Wow, fuck off. Vee hasn't truly steered me wrong yet. No, I don't know his actual name or much about his personal life, but I know enough. He can be abrasive and rude, he lashes out when he's having a rough time, but he's as goddamn human as the rest of us. Moreso, maybe.

He's still the guy that made me laugh and pulled me out of a bad spiral the night we met. He's the one who heard me out when nobody else would, and actually listened until the end. He's the guy that gave me a chance and a path to set my feet on when I had no direction. He's the one who believed I could make it, even when I didn't. I was lost in the fog, and he was the lighthouse that led me to shore.

I've literally jumped off a building because he said "go." I know everything I need to know.

"Hey, I need your help with this project," Vee says. And what do I say? "Yes, sure, whatever you need." Like an idiot.

Turns out I'm not the only one helping with this project. Some warning that That Asshat was also involved would have been nice. >:(

What got you interested in exocultural studies in the first place? It's a pretty niche area of study

Ooh! It is, I have to admit, but it's been something I've been passionate about for basically my whole life.

I don't know anyone who didn't have an Atlantis Phase as a kid. Mine was, well, a little more intense than most -- I can't swim, and any water I can't stand up in is... Well, let's just say I'm never going near the ocean. So the whole concept of an entire kingdom down there... It fascinated me.

Looking into Atlantis led to me looking into various other places like that -- Themiscyra, Krypton, Thanagar... You name it, I found books on it. Anywhere that wasn't... Here.

I dunno. I guess I've always been amazed by just... How vast and... Unknowable the world is? There's so much to learn about, so much to see, so much to do and experience. It's so much more than we can ever hold in one lifetime. But... That's the challenge, I guess. How much can I fit into my limited years? How much of the universe can I reach out to? How much of it, if any, will reach back?

idk man i like space

[[TUMBLR WOULDN'T LET ME POST THAT UNTIL I REFERRED TO DICK BY A PRONOUN INSTEAD OF HIS NAME. WHAT THE FUCK]]

[sunshine-knight]

Trust me, we are in absolutely zero danger of me dating anyone, let alone him. Ew. I have some degree of taste, come on

...also kind of relieved you didn't think i was hitting on starry i swear that was platonic i'm just dramatic
