“ too much darkness for a rainbow . ” ― @crownslip, rebekah.
a finely manicured brow curves into an arch, letting a moment go by as she watches the original's countenance with a sharp -- albeit partially bemused, partially deadpan -- gaze. finally, with a lazy shift that braces her boots on the lip of the table and sinks her torso lower into her seat, she muses, ❝ if that was your attempt at edgar allan poe, it was dismal. ❞ she brings a cuticle to blunted fang, lowers it after a moment with furrowing brows. ❝ alright, out with it. what's got you in such a funk, hm? i was never a cheerful gal. ❞

" Marry me. " While those two words had made themselves at home in the depths of Alex's subconscious for days, had inhabited every uncertain, self - doubting crevice of her imagination until the wanton destruction left by the Daxamites — and Kara's loss, still striking and raw amongst the rubble — had vastly overshadowed it, to finally breathe them out loud almost felt akin to standing on the edge of the building's roof in readiness to leap.
" Seriously? Marry me. Please. "

slowly the fire captain steps up beside her, watching the patient be wheeled in by the actual doctors. he’d stood back by the truck, listening to the medical staff give her a serious berating for doing what she had done on the ride over. now bobby knows the reality of the situation, that if shay hadn’t performed the beginnings of surgery they would be rolling a body to the morgue instead of the surgery floor. it’s why he hadn’t said anything to her. well, until now.
❝ they have a point, what you did was incredibly risky. ❞ as the captain, he has to play both sides. he can’t completely ignore the risks his team takes, but he also can’t dismiss the lives saved because of those risks. ❝ however… i think you got enough of an earful about why it was dangerous. i think now you deserve to hear that despite all of that, you saved that mans life. without that, he wouldn’t be alive right now. so try to focus on that for now, and let’s head back to the station for dinner. i’m making my famous mac and cheese. ❞

@crownslip said: "i'll follow you to the bitter end; as i always have." ( leslie shay )
her presence alone is enough to compensate for the lack of warmth that currently occupies his hollow chest. the liquor isn't doing a very good job at filling that void, but he can always count on her to remedy that all on her own. kelly isn't a natural - born pouter; he much prefers working, pushing himself through the shit times so hard that he'll be completely blind to his problems when he haphazardly emerges on the other side. but even he has his days.
lips curl, toothy grin forming on a tired face. a chuckle slips past his lips, and he finally dares to lift his head from where it's been hanging over their island counter top for the last hour. "that shakespeare or somethin'?" he questions playfully, turning his head to lock gazes with her. he finds home within her eyes, comfort and familiarity that few other people have ever provided him with.
"shay - speare," he blurts out after a moment, draping an arm around the blonde's shoulders to draw her in closer. sides bump, lopsided smile growing. "that was good, wasn't it? just came up with that." he boasts, thumb running across the fabric of her shirt absentmindedly. a brief pause, smile fading in favor of a more genuine expression not masked by his usual charisma. "i really appreciate you, y'know that?" he asks quietly. "dunno what i'd do without you."

unheald asked:
it's my problem if i wanna pack up and run away. - for abe from sasha
crownslip answered:
❛ damn right it is, ❜ abraham nodded. ❛ but if i might offer you a little piece of advice? ❜ he doesn't even wait for sasha to speak or give the okay that she wants to hear it. he just spits it out anyways. ❛ you can run 'til your little heart gives out but that avalanche of horse shit you're runnin' from? it'll bury you eventually. no amount of runnin' is gonna change that. you've got people who care, who'll help you shovel yourself out from said shit - myself included in that. so you either pick up a shovel and face it, or you let it suffocate you. ❜ he shrugged softly.
he certainly had a way with words, didn't he? though the thought came from the fact that what he said wasn't exactly... eloquently put - there was something about it that sasha liked. but that was abraham through and through, wasn't it? straight to the point. no bullshit... no bullshit was something she could get on board with. it always had been. and perhaps there was part of her that wanted to ignore what he'd said, because she'd already lost so much, had already felt as though she was drowning and clawing her way back to the surface felt pointless... but something told her that abraham wouldn't say what he had if he didn't mean it. " almost sounds like you don't want me to run away, there. "

it's a good day to love love ! just like any other day, really, but today it's especially socially acceptable for her to wear the heart antennae headband & go nuts with the pink & red frostings. even more so since she actually has someone to spend the day with. she'd spent the morning baking, making sure the cupcakes are done by the time nick decides to roll out of bed just so she can surprise him. granted, she knows that her boyfriend is not a big fan of yet another commercialized holiday, but he is a fan of her baked goods – she can't go wrong with cupcakes. & if she takes the time to get extra cute with them, no one can stop her.
" you bet'cha ! there were more, but the guys grabbed one each on their way out. " definitely a tax for letting them have the place all to themselves. she laughs a little at his reassurance, adjusting her headband in place before she finds herself in his arms, stealing one more kiss than given. " any time, you goober. i love you, too. " her heart flutters no matter how many times she hears him say it. this is all the type of behavior she often dreams their future selves will turn into a habit long after the honeymoon phase is over. soft gasp & wide eyes follow his request. " you made plans ! " oh, he's good. " nick miller, are you ending your feud with valentine's day for me ? "

@crownslip + karen: closer starter.
they were supposed to get married. keith was supposed to adopt lucas as his son and they were finally going to be a family. except they weren't. not after jimmy edwards had killed keith. karen's entire world had been ripped out from underneath her and there wasn't anything she could do. and now she had just been informed by dan scott that lucas, her son, the boy she had raised to be better than this had decided to save dan, the person who had abandoned them both and saved him from the fire. she stormed into lucas' room and at that very second demanded answers. ❝ did you save dan from the fire? ❞ karen had already been through enough, the last thing that she needed was her son getting killed not only by a fire but by a gun. she had lost keith already. what would her life be without her son? how was she able to survive and go on with her life without the two most important people in her life? did neither one of them care for her at all?

❝ hey, you said you wanted to expand our cultural horizons, right? i thought 10 things i hate about you was a good place to start: blonde chick who loves to hate on the bad, but admittedly cool guy, piles of chemistry burning up them, epic romance ― it's pretty neat when art imitates life. the nachos aren't bad, either. ❞ logan wittingly remarks, corn triangle crunching inside his mouth, as a mischievous smirk tugs on his lips. ❝ now, i'm gonna proceed to stare at my beautiful girlfriend watch a chick flick, so, give me a nudge whenever one of them takes their shirt off, okay? ❞

@crownslip cont. from here.
the situation was not ideal, not to carol anyway. it had been a ruse, the two of them going beyond the gates. to supposedly help her learn to shoot. obviously ( but unknown to the rest of alexandria ) she needed no help, in fact she might even be a better shot than most of their group. carol didn’t need to train, but she had needed to get out of those walls. playing the housewife role could be a daunting task, all that socializing and pretending to be sweet. she’d been sick of it that day, hence the fake scenario created.
of course, simple outings are never really that simple, are they? of course they got into trouble, a wrong turn leading them straight to a large herd. maybe they could run, actually they probably should, but they couldn’t leave this number of walkers out and about. what if they came across alexandria? as much as she doesn’t trust that place, it is home now. they can’t have their home overrun again. ❝ stealth would only work for a few. they’d notice us anyway. we might as well just go for it. ❞ and pray to whoever they don’t die in the process.

∗ o1﹕ sender tucks hair out of receiver’s face . ― @crownslip, hayley.
cerulean gaze peers up through her lashes, the glum lines upon her visage softening as a tender hand sweeps auburn locks from her sight. a tepid smile is offered, reaching to close her fingers lightly around the hybrid's wrist and pull it down from where it has habitually started combing through her hair. ❝ i'm fine, mom. ❞ maybe not very easy to convince her when sleepless circles bruise under her eyes and her shoulders slump in her desk chair, but she still tries.
her mother's gaze has always been too discerning, and hope averts her own to the sketch she hasn't touched for over an hour as a canine sinks into her lower lip. ❝ i always am. ❞

@crownslip asked: "it’s the things we love most that destroy us." / mags :3
There was no arguing with that school of thought. On the contrary, so many facets of Alex's life — and so many in it — had proven it true.
There'd been Vicky, in high school: the last real friend she'd had outside of Kara, and her first and only taste of teenaged heartbreak. Then there'd been Dad, a sturdy, steadfast constant until he'd walked out in the middle of the night, leaving the daughter he'd raised and the other he'd favoured for some notion of short - sighted and selfish martyrdom.
Even Mom, in some ways, despite her unconditional love and her best intentions, had chipped away at her over the years, her expectations weighty and unbending no matter how many miles out of Midvale Alex saw it fit to settle down. Though she was still the glue holding home together, her presence had always had the propensity to unearth too many shivering echoes of her buried, adolescent self doubt — too many slivers of every impulse she'd picked up over time to strive for a level of perfection that constantly remained too far out of reach, and always would.
" That may be true, " she yielded, the conviction bolstering that statement as thin as the blankets she’d awoken underneath on Kara's couch that morning, rather than the plush of her king size duvet, just to ensure her sister slept soundly through the night. If anything had the proclivity to hurt, it was her pain. " But — I should have been with her. "

GET TO KNOW THE MUN.
what made you pick up the muse you have? you mean muses lmao. honestly i pick ones that i personally enjoy or resonate with in some way. for the most part i have to actually like them in order to write them, so any character i have on my muse list i like at the very least.
is there anything you don’t like to write? not particularly? i find it difficult sometimes to do action based replies, but it doesn't mean i don't like to write it. just is a little more difficult.
is there anything you really enjoy writing? threads that are fluffy with a hint of angst are a fave.
how do you come up with your headcanons? i just do i guess? i don't really have a process, it usually comes up either while writing or when watching something i'm like "actually my muse would feel like this instead" kind of thing if that makes sense?
do you write in silence or do you play music? i have to write in silence, music is so distracting to me when writing.
do you plan your replies or wing them? i don't really plan all that much? usually just go with the flow, whatever comes naturally to the muse in question.
do you enjoy shipping? i absolutely fuckin love it, ship with me you cowards.
what’s your alias/name? stephanie! but i also go by steph or stephy. my nieces and nephews call me stephy, that all started when my first niece couldn't pronounce my name properly and called me "snephy" and then i wanted to replicate that when my second niece came along, but she was able to pronounce the "t" so stephy became a staple in my life.
age? 26, i can't believe how old i am.
birthday? october 7th!
favorite color? i really do love yellow, like bright neon yellow. highlighter yellow.
favorite song? lately i've really loved listening to confetti by charlotte cardin.
last movie you watched? alvin and the chipmunks lmao.
last show you watched? it was riverdale season 1. its so hard for me to want to continue even though i love the characters. its kind of like glee, where i could never get past the 2nd season.
last song you listened to? i can't actually remember, it was on the radio in the car. i think it was you spin me round by dead or alive?
favorite food? chicken. just anything chicken i am so game.
favorite season? i like spring, the spring where the bugs haven't come out yet and the weather is getting warmer.
do you have a tumblr best friend? obviously i have a few! naturally @unheald is, i forced her onto this hellsite years ago. also @strnza and @crownslip and just so many others i can't @ everyone sadly
tagged by : i stole it from @sheldoney
tagging : anyone who wants to talk about themselves

@crownslip [ sookie ] | cont.
oh, she has no business here. not because she doesn't want to help, but because her best friend is & always has been painfully aware that lorelai's good intentions count for absolutely nothing in the kitchen. she only ended up here because sookie's kitchen smells insane & the aromas lured her from the living room. if someone were to draw the scene, she'd have looked like some cartoon cat floating in the direction of the expertly animated delicious smell. it was out of her hands, really.
" what are you talking about, who's eating ?? i'm not eating, i am tasting. as the self appointed chocolate expert in town, i have to make sure the quality of this is top-notch. " thankfully, she keeps a straight face gesturing to the huge missing chunk of chocolate currently still getting chewed. " pregnancy messes with your taste buds, i'm being helpful here ! " barely. sookie hasn't asked her to help & she's not sure if it's because of the control thing or just the trust issues currently being reinforced. " unbelievable... this is cruel & unusual punishment, lady ! " amused smile begins to take shape as she takes a step back from the chocolate, slumping into one of the chairs. " i'm not above using my feminine wiles to get my plate back from luke, you know. "
