@charmedslugs liked for a starter !
There were certain things about herself that Mary Beth knew without question. The fact she wasn't an early riser was one of them, the only girl to sleep in later than her being Karen, who had the excuse of guard duty. Mary Beth didn't have that excuse, but she did have a new restlessness at night that made it hard to get a full night's sleep. All it took was the sound of foot steps coming and going for her to jolt awake, and one of the steps to the second floor creaked, which was as sure to wake her as a gun shot.
Eyes snapping open, Mary Beth took note of the footsteps. Not lumbering, so not someone drunk. Originating from upstairs, which narrowed it down even further, and the pace of the step as good as confirmed it was Abigail before Mary Beth ever straightened up on the little sofa that she called her bed.
"Abigail?" She called softly as soon as she detected movement in the dark, rubbing at bare arms as she slid from her bed. "Is Jack alright?"

he was sitting down at the table, finger tapping as he held onto the bottle in his hand. maybe he had too much to drink, but john had many thoughts that raced in his head as he went through various scenarios.
when @charmedslugs entered the house, eyes dart to her -- but he wonders what her life would have been if...
❝ hey darlin', i -- do you mind if we talk ? ❞ he asks, though his tone is unsure. still, free ha nd motions towards the chair across from him. ❝ how've you been ? ❞

the camp has finally come together as one; tents all set up, pearson grumbling over a lack of sustenance, and even dear, old miss grimshaw has all but a few orders left to bark out. the sun has barely risen in the sky as eliza makes her way through the soft grass beneath them - toeing over to where abigail sits on her bedroll.
“i think that it’s pretty damn hard not t’feel at-home somewhere called ‘the heartlands’,” eliza quips, smile emerging confidently upon her features as she nudges abigail, sitting beside her & presenting her with a fresh mug of coffee. “then again … after that winter, i’m happy t’be anywhere that the ground isn’t white.”
STARTER CALL, still accepting / set in horseshoe overlook - @charmedslugs 🤍

Quotes on Pinterest -Accepting!! @charmedslugs
Moving amongst the crowd like a shadow, the wolf-kissed made their way to Abigail - ignoring what the consequences might be showing up even after they killed one of the bastards that were hunting after her with being affiliated with the group she's in. Perhaps they should keep their nose out of this business - but they know that if she is hunted, then their clan would eventually be as well. They cannot have that.
We won't forget each other, right? Those words caught a pang in their chest, light azure gaze shifting towards the woman. Quietly they shake their head, gently tugging her away from the crowd to a more quiet area so they could speak to her without the chaos. They remove their hood, before reaching into their pocket and gathering the money they had stolen from the bastard.
❝No. We won't, but you must run far away from here as possible, ya' hear? Please, be safe min venn.❞

"In many ways, unwise love is the truest love."
μ::|| meme: FANTASY MAGIC & ROMANCE SENTENCE QUOTES. | accepting [ Ξ ]
θ::|| @charmedslugs
At Kassandra's age, with her duties, any love was unwise love. And yet, couldn't help the rare times when she fell for someone. She took a drink of her beer before regarding the other woman. "Strange anecdote, but I don't disagree."

𝐺𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑈𝐼𝑇𝑂𝑈𝑆𝐿𝑌 𝐷𝐸𝑇𝐴𝐼𝐿𝐸𝐷 𝐷𝐼𝑆𝐿𝐼𝐾𝐸𝑆.
muse name. Rebecca Albright.
least favorite nickname. Witch, Moodypie, but most likely, Beck. Her bullies used to call her that way as a "friendly" approach.
least favorite season. Her hair suffers in the cold weather, and she is not very fond of the lower tempetures so winter. She loves the snowy scenarios though.
least favorite ⸻ hot or cold? It heavily depends on the season. But what she dislikes is having her hands cold.
least favorite holiday. Mother's Day.
least favorite food. Spicy and sea food.
least favorite flavor. The taste of shellfish. Becky could easily add to the table the other extreme, too-sugary flavors.
least favorite drink. Beer, even the smell of it.
least favorite scent. The usual hospital scent. Becky spent a lot of time there and it reminds her of her condition.
least favorite sound. Balloons rubbing.
least favorite tv shows. Soap operas.
least favorite area of the school. The corridors. They were always open, leading to a classroom or the exit doors. It is not easy to avoid the eye of the people when you walk through them.
least favorite aspect of their job. The socializing aspect. Talking with other people is something she struggles with.
least favorite trait in others. Dishonesty, hiding things for "the common good." She would preffer to hear a crude truth than a lie wrapped in sweet words.
least favorite place. Her high school.
least favorite thing to talk about. Talking about people who hurt her is always a bitter feeling. She prefers to bury the name of them rather than talk about them. They are not part of her present, and she prefers it that way.
least favorite thing about themselves. Her body shape. Becky got bullied by her look, but primarily due to her condition.
least favorite daily chore. Cleaning the floor of her apartment always leaves pain in her lower back.
least favorite type of clothing. Too tight clothing.
least favorite superpower. In storytelling, being invincible.
least favorite thing about falling in love. The uncertainty, the doubt if your feelings are reciprocated or not.
least favorite thing about death. How egoist it is with loved ones but, at the same time, how merciful it seems to be to pain.

what does your heart look like ? answer : iced over , out of the sun . your heart is very lonely isn't it ? is your fortress of ice self - made ? are others afraid of you , or are you afraid of them ? are you afraid of hurting them , or of being hurt ? vulnerability and connection can be frightening . but that's no reason to shy away from their light , to tuck yourself small into corners , to build up frigid walls to keep yourself from feeling . you will heal when you allow yourself to draw closer to the flames and thaw .

which aesthetic color are you ?
forest green. You're in your own world, spinning fictions and building realities and finding the poetry in ordinary things. The people around you can tell there's something special to you, and you're well-loved by some very good people. But even to your closest friends, you're a bit of a mystery. This always surprises you to hear, because you don't mean to put walls up-- you just get so caught up in things nobody else sees that you forget to let yourself be seen. You're complicated, and sometimes you get tangled in it. Don't worry, though, it's not off-putting; despite your accidental air of mystery, your warmth can be seen like a campfire through distant trees.

@charmedslugs asked: drive , just drive fast !
Going out for an ordinary supply run shouldn't have been any big thing. They had the list of supplies that the camp needed, a couple of requests from the men, and a sturdy wagon that just had a wheel repaired, so it should have just been a shade more exciting than working on keeping her stitches neat while Miss Grimshaw breathed down her neck about getting her work done. Mary Beth was grateful to get out of camp, don't get her wrong, but sitting with the horses and making sure everything got loaded up wasn't much in the way of excitement when the shophands seemed to have lives about as interesting as straw.
She didn't get any good stories out of them, didn't get any good tips to bring back to the boys, but she did buy a bag of candies to share with Abigail on the way back, an idea that fell apart when the bag fell during Mary Beth's rush to grab the reins. "What happened?"
Mary Beth wasn't worried (yet) since she didn't hear shooting, and the horses were agreeable enough to take off once Abigail was on. She didn't know what caused Abigail's hurry, but a glance back soon gave her an idea.
"Is that one of the O'Driscolls?"

john was sitting at the table, stew in front of him as he stared at the dish. @charmedslugs was, by no means, a cook... but she was trying. still, it didn't stop his stomach churning as he prepared to bite. he remembers the horrible meals he's eaten throughout his life -- and he's eaten horrible things. way worse than anything his darling wife had concocted.
abigail was trying. she was trying so hard. john was, as well, as much as she would disagree. they may not have as many intense arguments, but they still occurred. the mother felt like she was alone. that the father of her son was gone too much. was too reckless. the father would agree, though he wishes that weren't the case.
❝ i'm sorry, darlin', ❞ he adds, voice low as takes a spoonful of stew into his mouth. this whole thing -- this new life needed getting used to. being home and having a family needed getting used to. john is going to get used to loving his wife's stew.

❝ i feel like we haven’t spoken for days. ❞ / prob after blackwater.
in truth, eliza doesn’t know what day it is anymore. she’s lost all sense of time, purpose, focus - it’d all happened so damn fast, it’s hard to bring herself back to the present. she can’t move past what the people she trusts most won’t tell her: what exactly happened on that goddamn boat?
there’s too much of her heart caught in the past as everything hurtles into a world of indifference; killing women, putting each other at risk? it’s a jagged shard tossed into the glass house of everything they stand for, everything she’s been taught - she’s had abigail at her side for years, now, and she certainly isn’t the one to be pushing away. (for all intents & purposes, eliza is the truest believer, the devout follower; she can’t allow fear & confusion to poison her devotion, now.)
“i - … i’m sorry, honey,” the words are honest, though it takes another moment of swallowing back her emotion before withstanding the ability to actually turn & look at abigail, “it’s … it’s this snow, losin’ jenny … my head an’ heart are hurtin’.”

* what color is your aura ?
answer for sadie : hickory . felled oak , brass , sunken ships , olive pits , graphic shirts , splinters , dark rooms . your essence is hickory : your intensity brews beneath your sensitive and melancholy exterior . you lose yourself in the ideal of how things should be rather than how they are . reality seems to disappoint you . you craft together your identity out of pieces of others' that have inspired you . you are the cobbler . you are the shaper . you find kinship in like - minded individuals of chiffon , ashen , umber , and noir . who share your aspirations of a better future . you are also drawn to the vibrant amethyst and bronze , who will help you grow and learn to appreciate your own happiness . however , you may struggle to get along with the aggressive personalities of indigo and garnet who are stubborn about their own perspectives .

archetypes quiz.
50% rebel
the Rebel is comfortable throwing caution to the wind, and bucking the system, if that means getting their point across.
25% creative
the creative appreciates all beautiful things, in art and daily life. the creative act is essential to who they are.
25% visionary
leave it to others to live by the status quo. the visionary is interested in new ways of seeing, solutions not yet imagined, products not yet built.
