I want to add one more

- you meet a woman who was your wife in a previous life. You actually have more in common now than you did when you were married. Your culture has a taboo that you’re not supposed to reassociate with people from previous lives or you might be exiled and your belly worms will die with you. It’s just so easy to fall in love in again but so hard to say goodbye again. She leaves, but you still love her, and part of you always will.

STAR TREK WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO MY HEART

"Are you admiring the view or lost in thought?"

At the Pier

Dax had arrived first before his fellow triplets. He stared out over the water with a little contented sigh. Quiet was not something easily associated with in his family. So he enjoyed it.

It's taken 30 years and 4 different shows, but Star Trek has finally created a canon couple that I'm actively shipping.

"It still needs a bit of workshopping though," Brynne admitted. "I can't quite pin down the last verse."

"That is lovely..." He told her from his spot on the grass. "Just lovely."

I love DS9 so much. In just one episode you get:

A Plot: Benjamin Sisko has a harrowing experience

B Plot: Kira Nerys and Jadzia Dax have a titillating lesbian moment, communicated through a series of wry sideways looks

C Plot: Julian Bashir gets really into Dry Herb Vaping

10 years of just a few!!! 1 drawing from each year for each character FOR THE PAST DECADE!!!

[inkshadow]

god, she really is the most insufferable person he's ever had the 'pleasure' of knowing. of his own volition, dax practically crawled his way over, only for her to not only berate him but now wants to take advantage of him sitting there practically limp everywhere but his dick? hell, maybe she's onto something. if she's willing and it'll distract from the pain ( and apparently whatever plagued her psyche for the time being ) who was he to say no? "you're super fucking horny," dax corrects, though something tells him that the two are somewhat synonymous most days. a grunt resounds from his lips, sighing in relief now that he's no longer restricted by clothes below the waist. fuck — great. he was hard. that was the last thing he needed her to see right now, how his body has betrayed him yet again. "no. i'm not. suck my dick, i know you miss it, whore."

despite her two year stint as a fairly advanced pre-med student, tessa is by no means a medical expert. she isn't entirely sure if giving a potentially concussed person a blowjob is a good idea or not. (though, common sense would most likely point to no.) but she does know that his continued sounds of reluctant pleasure, when combined with the way he reaches out to touch her like he just can't help himself, equals a pulsing in her legs that's too delicious to ignore. she gets a twisted sort of satisfaction out of coaxing pleasure out of dax during... inappropriate moments. even when that definition includes a major injury. "i'm trying to distract you from the pain, obviously. because i'm super fucking benevolent." it takes some effort to pull both his pants and boxers down and off in one move, but she manages. "so... sorry, just to be clear, you're rejecting my offer to suck you off a second time?"

I got the full We Are Robin series for chirstmas! So here are some random silly things I noticed

Though I don't have any of the Robin War crossover or tie-in issues, which is a bummer but still.

Duke is like a self certified adrenaline junkie & says as much within like the first few pages

So yeah I get it. Mortality. It's about survival. Spent so much time surviving lately I feel like I've gotten addicted to it. To the Rush. I mean, I know why. It's all endorphins and adrenaline. I shouldn't trust it I shouldn't love it this much in all it's chemical falseness. But I'm a junkie now. worse stuff to be hooked on I guess. Issue #1, Page 4

Riko like definitely had a crush on Duke at some point and the angst is only further fueling my mind

Not crazy about the alternative cover to Issue #9B[right], it's cute but it feels like it belongs to another plot idea, #9A[left] looks more inline and it's just genuinely one of the coolest covers for this series

I really liked how it felt like all the Robin kids where pretty equal in page time & relevance to the story, I would have like some more of Riko in the later Issues but she did get a whole one to herself with a completely different artist

Focusing on that, Issue #4 is fucking gorgeous, like Jorge Corona's style is so much fun and comicy but the combined work of James Harvey, Diana Egea & Alex Jaffe brings to life a completely different type of very comic/graph novel style. Along with the fact the busyness of it reflects off of Riko's own personality & mentality. The two page spreads, the lack of barely any panel lines b/c each panel just looks that different from each other, the colors & pattern overlays, it's gorgeous and I could go off on a separate post about it another time. It's a shame I don't have all the covers with their style!

Though having Babs specifically be Riko's batgirl doesn't make much sense in a real world timeline but this is comic time soooo, i still would have like Steph to be her batgirl!

Duke has watched the Hobbit, and he thinks of himself as himself as more of the sword guy but he also like Legolas b/c he thinks he's cool & honestly that says alot about Duke's personality

Always thought of myself as more swarthy sword-weilding badass with the five-o'clock shadow. Or at least that elf dude. Yeah... that elf dude had style. Issue #1 Page 3

I've already read these volumes a couple months ago, so coming back to them was refreshing and I'm glad to have them physically, makes them alot easier to read and understand when I have 'em there physically

Also made me learn more about Troy, I thought he was a bit full of himself at first but he was genuinely just a good kid trying to do good, and his failure to do so resulted in his death and it's one of two things that breaks down our group of Robins [the other being Gordon's robo-batman denouncing the We Are Robin movement as a whole]

Troy Walker...Above average student with interests in political activism, history, and philosophy. Issue #4 Back Page 2

I'm pretty sure Duke is the youngest of our group of Robins, like the character summaries at the back of Issue #4, Duke-16, Riko-16, Dax-17, Izzy-17, Troy-17, Dre-17, which I think is one of best realizations I had about this story

No Duke isn't really the leader of WaR I'd say but the end of the series he's more just a working member of the most active group of Robins

By #12 they're very much a "We" "Us" "All" sort of group and saying they have a distinct leader would do them a disservice, though if I remember correctly there was some sort of hierarchy mentioned in the Robin War crossover issues, but we're gonna work around those for a second, at least until I get me hands on them/reread them again

I'd say the leaders are who ever is most determined to be a Robin within the moment, which Duke isn't at the beginning but is later on [round #6 #11 & #12] and even then he's often sharing that drive to be Robin with another Robin [usually Riko honestly]

And I'd say the Robin with the biggest & consistent want are Riko, Shug & Dax, in that order but mainly cause Dax had an era of doubt after Troy died & Robo-Batman denounced them

Riko hallucinates Batgirl and I need that to be talked about, like the hallucination isn't all that strong, purely visual, but it's high-def and it moves like a person and reacts to what she says to it [in the middle of class while a teacher is trying to get her attention mind you] I think the spread where it happens is the 2nd one I put up top

Izzy is actually a very emotional person, and I think she's the first character to cry in the series, [they are literally disarming a highly dangerous explosive and I think that's so valid for her] and honestly non of her emotions are like unwarrented, she's constantly on her last fucking leg, between late nights at her family resturant, combined with homework till 3 and chronically late to school to the point it might get her held back or expelled she's pretty tired with it all

I think my favorite moment for her was when her brother Hector [who she despises but also that's her brother so like] died to that weird Owl-Man Talon thing [which like I'm pretty sure died in Robin War], and when Talon-Man was about to kill Duke & Riko, like her black mascara/eyeshadow tears as she held that thing at gun point where devastating, not to mention it's goading her on & Duke & Riko are trying to get her to drop the gun aswell

Talon: Yes! this one understands the true nature[kill or be killed] of things! Izzy:...Gonna...gonna bury this creep. Tryin' to sell us the future Duke: C'mon, drop the gun! Talon: Pull the trigger, my beautiful killer. Take your first step towards a new world. Izzy: I'll so it...come any closer an I'll-- Issue #6 Page 7

This Issue also cements our Robins and their relationship to batman some more

Riko, Duke & Dax are the leaders in this Issue, more so the 1st two cause Dax doesn't have much page time, but still the sentiment of them not being wannabes/worshipers Batman's like everyone thinks and instead their own group is important here

Talon: Your code...the Bat's code...it is folly...He won't help you. Issue #6 page 5 Riko: Robins don't kill Izzy. You know this. Remember who we are. Talon: Young fool! Your false idol will be your undoing. Riko: Not trying to be like Batman. Trying to be better. Issue #6 page 10

I like Dre he's actually a really interesting guy, and you have to look past all the walls he pulls up [which are interesting in'n'off themselves] and see a kid who wants to be a vigilante, he's one of the leaders for Issues #9 & #10, being his own vigilante & operative after the Robin Laws are passed, he doesn't back down one bit & stays steadfast in his want to help people, going against Smiley in his Joker era as the first Robin to do so

He's just honestly cool, and I like the way he starts as a pessimist to the idea of Nest, but that doesn't fully stop him from wanting to help people, he gets back into it the moment he pulls himself together

I don't think I've brought up Dax properly yet but he's definitely one of the connectors of the group, [the others being Shug & Riko], once he gets out of his early bought of pessimism after Robo-Bat disavows them he is a consistent leader within the group and pushes the others to fucking do something, but his connecting work is mainly done for Izzy & Dre, Izzy when she's in her slump later on, & when Dre when he's running solo without the others, he pulls the wayward birds closer to the rest of the flock

Having read this series & reminiscing on "Batman & The Signal" & "The Outsiders" I don't like the way they portray Duke much at all

Lee Bermejo gets Duke in a way I don't think the other writes really do, this Duke, WaR!Duke, would not have become The Signal, he would have been Lark, and I mourn the lose of what he could of been had he not been pushed into become The Signal, it would have been interesting to see Damian & Tim share Robin with a kid they had to actually deal with, it might have actually forced Tim to move on completely from Robin, it might have gotten Damian more friends, it would have given Duke a more interesting story in my opinion

Okay I'm tired now, so i'm just put my fav covers of the ones I have from this series in left to right descending order of favorite-to-least favorite.

Goodnight! & Happy Holidays everyone!!!!

"w-well... yeah, i mean...." how is he supposed to answer that when it comes down like a ton of bricks on his shoulders? it takes everything in his power not to look away from her when she asks, when he answers, but there's a reason — several reasons — why they haven't gotten back together. their jobs are an integral part of their lives and they had bills to pay. unless some miracle falls from the sky, neither of them are going to budge... right? "i could say the same thing about you takin' your clothes off in front of people." and god, he wished that he could express his feelings better than to belabor that point because it's not her job that irks him to most. the root cause of it all suggests that he's just jealous, that he can't get past that mental roadblock that keeps him up late at night when he knows she's at work. he wants her and only her and to ask her to do anything else would feel like a disservice to everything she's worked hard for. "all this talk about wantin' a future with you and you go straight to my brother..." he's joking, of course, mustering a weak laugh as he wraps strong arms around her head. wants to give her some privacy, at the very least, and maybe a shirt to cry on, wipe her tears with. "what a fuckin' dream to be able to just exist with you... god, can you imagine? and we'd have ducks? damn, didn't think we'd be rich enough to have a backyard, let alone ducks..." the image in his head fills his chest with a fondness that he just can't ignore though, and it's so easy to picture when it's willow at his side. when she peers up at him, his expression softens into something somber, dax's head nodding in acknowledgement. "it's only painful because we care, huh?"

what she wants is to be in his life. never did want things to change between them to begin with. might be delusional of her to consider a possibility where they can overlook the differences between them, but she doesn't care. has to have those moments where she can just escape and hope that everything between them will be okay again. " do you, though ? miss me and . . . want me back ? " because it might not be the healthy thing for either of them, but she doesn't think staying away is either. she's tethered to him, always feeling emptiest when he's not around. and now, awkwardness aside, she feels nothing but warmth radiating through her body because he's here and so is she. " i know. and maybe we never will, but there is more to you than the boxing matches. " is it any different in his eyes, though ? willow will still be flaunting her body for strangers, still serving the worst kinds of men. maybe that'll always be the first thing he thinks of when he looks at her. but then he's talking again, saying the kinds of things that just make her heart break. can feel it in her eyes, way her vision blurs over with tears. " we'd be able to pay for your brother's education and, like, just exist. " shrugs weakly, lowering her head to hide the influx of tears rolling down her cheeks. " and we'd have all the groceries in the world. we still wouldn't let my bread crusts go to waste 'cause we'd feed them to our little ducks out back. " smiles through her tears, finally looking up at him. " that would be nice. " and she isn't sad because it's a far - fetched thought. she's sad because dax probably punishes himself for not being able to provide those things. " but so is being here with you. "

nome: zale havelok. pronomes e idade: ele/dele, 24 anos. data de nascimento: 24 de dezembro de 2000. distrito de origem: 4. status na colheita: voluntário. familiar vitorioso: o tataravô, dax havelok (20ª edição). habilidade principal: manuseio de alabarda. orientação sexual: heterossexual. traços positivos: astuto, agil e corajoso. traços negativos: sarcástico, instável emocionalmente e desconfiado. inspo: finnick odair e johanna mason (hunger games), daryl dixon (twd) e lorenzo st. john (tvd).

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ❪  pinterest + visage + musing + connections  ❫ 

personalidade: utilizando uma persona criada para proteger a si mesmo, zale pode ser descrito como naturalmente carismático e magnético, do tipo que transforma qualquer frase em uma provocação bem humorada ou até mesmo esboça um senso de humor um pouco zombeteiro e cínico, conforme o necessário em cada momento calculado de sua vida desde a perda da irmã. esse trauma se resume no verdadeiro zale: alguém que se sente quebrado e capaz de guardar um extremo ódio e ressentimento pelo capitol, embora não transpareça. porém, devido a sua claustrofobia e pesadelos frequentes, em momentos-gatilho, seu autocontrole se desfaz, revelando uma impulsividade e violência exacerbada.

habilidades: sua especialização é o manejo da alabarda. apesar de ter familiaridade com arpões e armas de haste num geral que favorecem o ataque a longa distância, foi o manuseio de uma alabarda — herdada pelo seu tataravô, dax havelok, o primeiro e único vitorioso entre seus familiares — que o tornou reconhecido no centro de carreiristas. zale é naturalmente veloz na água e capaz de uma apneia longa, o que facilita em mergulhos profundos, além de possuir uma aptidão na criação de armadilhas marítimas, manejo de cordas, redes e criações de nós, também consegue rastrear pegadas na areia e reconhecer o comportamento da fauna marítima. inabilidades: é menos ágil em terrenos altos, áridos ou de baixa umidade, condições geográficas e climáticas que causam sintomas de ar rarefeito em seu corpo. não possui muito conhecimento quanto a fauna e flora que não sejam costeiras, nem tem uma boa resistência ao calor.

background: nascido e criado no coração do distrito 4, zale cresceu não somente entre redes de pescas, mas também entre histórias sussurradas pelos velhos pacificadores que haviam perdido mais do que conseguiam contar, por culpa das negligências do capitol ao longo dos anos. desde jovem acompanhava, juntamente da irmã 8 anos mais nova, o pai que ao invés de se tornar um pacificador após passar da idade das colheitas, fora designado para trabalhar em embarcações. foi assim que aprendeu a ler as marés, manusear arpões, e lanças, caçar e, principalmente, sobreviver com base nos conhecimentos repassados pelo distrito. além da sua grande conexão com o mar, sua maior ligação era com a pequena irmã, elira, de quem era protetor, melhor amigo e confidente. porém, no ano em que zale completara 16 anos, ele e a garota embarcaram num navio de transporte antigo e sem manutenção, requisitado urgentemente por um oficial do capitol. a embarcação não resistiu ao mar revolto e afundou durante a tempestade, prendendo os irmãos num convés superior. à medida que o casco se enchia lentamente de água, zale tentou, por horas, libertá-los. exausto, conseguiu escapar, mas a garota de apenas 12 anos, ferida e não tão resistente quanto o irmão, não sobrevivera. o som da água subindo e das madeiras quebrando, o cheiro de sangue e ferrugem, e os gritos abafados da irmã o assombram por meio da culpa que ele carrega por sobreviver e pelos pesadelos frequentes. após o naufrágio, zale mudou. ele que era principalmente alguém reservado e polido, desenvolveu uma persona carismática, persuasiva e manipuladora, no intuito de alcançar oficiais importantes de panem. essa máscara já permanece por anos, e, apesar de enganar quase perfeitamente a maioria das pessoas, a culpa de não ter conseguido salvar sua irmã e a raiva de ver os jovens dos distritos morrerem cada vez mais brutalmente nos jogos devido aos últimos acontecimentos em panem o desestabiliza emocionalmente com frequência. zale esconde algo que julga ser uma grande fraqueza: sofre de claustrofobia severa. túneis, esconderijos subterrâneos, cavernas marítimas ou qualquer espaço estreito evocam lembranças traumáticas do acidente com elira. nestes momentos, seu autocontrole desaparece — ele pode agir de forma instável, impulsiva ou até violenta. sob estresse extremo, essa fachada carismática se quebra e revela alguém dilacerado pela perda e pelo ressentimento criado em sua família.  embora odiasse o capitol, focou-se totalmente no seu treinamento de carreirista. além do manuseio da alabarda, desenvolveu talentos como mergulho em profundidade, construção de armadilhas aquáticas e escalada em pedras deslizantes, típicos do cotidiano de um sobrevivente costeiro.  ele não lutaria pelo governo opressivo. a colheita não o escolheu, não foi por acaso, foi ele quem decidiu. é ele quem faz a própria sorte. assim que se oferecera como tributo, seu coração vazio se focou não somente na sua sobrevivência, mas em provar que não será destruído pelos caprichos do capitol, como elira e sua família foram. para ele, os jogos são a encarnação da tirania que ceifou a vida da garota e, se sair vivo, não será por si só, mas também por ela e para levar adiante algo que ainda não tem nome — mas que começa a parecer com vingança.
