@rheaeaseandflow asked: “You’re not alone, baby. You never have been.” (Poseidon)
like the rising waters of a hurricane, swelling and growing until they crested the rocky bank of a shoreline, flooding the streets behind -- emotion surged inside of poseidon until it burst. it exploded forward with the unbridled power of the ocean. tears welled in sea green eyes, spilling down weather worn cheeks.
betrayed by his own body, poseidon pressed the heel of his palms against his eyes, cursing under his breath. no, no, this was not how he was supposed to react. he could not allow himself to lose composure over something so small. something so meaningless.
but oh, poseidon… it’s not meaningless, is it?
because she was wrong. he was alone. he had always been alone. he was the one scorned by his mother, the mother who could never be bothered to save him, the one who never really cared, never wanted him, never loved him.
he was supposed to hate her, and she was supposed to hate him, and that was how it had always been.
but it wasn’t. he knew, somewhere deep and dark and scary inside himself that she had never proven his anger right. she had never said those words he put in her mouth. she had always tried - and failed, sometimes - to comfort him. to convince him he was wrong.
“stupid, stupid, i’m so fucking stupid.” poseidon wept, smacking his hands against his cheeks to stop the torrent of tears. it wasn’t working. “i just - i just needed my mom. i needed you, and you didn’t want me.”
no. correction. “it didn’t feel like you wanted me. i needed you and i couldn’t say it, and i’m so… i’m so stupid.”

Prompt:
It’s turning out to be a bad day when Jason finds himself stabbed during a drug bust.
It’s turning out to be a very bad day when he starts to feel woozy (seriously, what the hell? It was just a little stabbing) and promptly collapses.
It’s turning out to be a monumentally bad day when the batfamily drop in on his drug bust.
And then the night takes a hard nose dive into catastrophically bad, because whatever toxin that blade was laced with? It’s making his heartbeat slow down into near flatline, paralyzing Jason in the process.
And now he’s stuck listening to his family lose it completely upon finding his “dead” body.
… shit.

Okay but why is no one talking about the disability/accessibility scene in Sex Education 4x7? This is just a snippet of what myself and so many of us face on a daily basis.
We get left behind and discouraged both by our friends and the system DAILY. Yeah, we get a bit of support, sometimes the system will give us a little pat on the back and our friends will stand by us - but do you all see how hard daily life actually is?
When you see us as normal and coping, ask yourself - what do we have to do to support ourselves to make you feel like we fit in with your version of “normal”?

VERY VERY RANDOM BUT i don't think i've seen a lot of ppl talk abt lizzie and pearl yet. and that's crazy bc there's actually some similarities FOR SURE
one defining feature i noticed is that both sl lizzie and dl pearl were, well— alone.
nobody came (except joel) to lizzie's slumber party, and she died first while attempting to seek revenge. and even then, she was still forgotten. both in life and death. on the other hand, pearl was abandoned by her soulmate (along with everyone else) and was left to her own devices. yet she eventually came out victorious, feared by many people on the server.
both were lone wolves. both were angry at the crumbling world that they lived in. both wanted to instil fear to those who wronged them. one succeed, one didn't.
both, funnily enough, also had dogs as their allies. iykyk
and even w/o talking abt dl, sl lizzie and sl pearl still have amazing interactions that should be talked abt more!! with pearl winning lizzie's heart and vowing to protect her, to lizzie asking her to burn etho alive because of pearl's traitor task... and if lizzie didn't die that early on, we could've maybe even seen them create some sort of alliance too :O
AUGGHHHHHH I AM SO NORMAL ABT THEM. THEY BETTER INTERACT NEXT SEASON TOO.... i love shadowmoon sm........
(SHOUT OUT TO THIS FIC FOR BEING THE REASON WHY I MADE THIS POST. THANK YOU OP)
