You don’t look up when you hear the thud.

It’s followed by a sharp metallic creak on the fire escape and a muffled ow, which means Jeon Jungkook has once again flung himself into your life — bruised, dramatic, and ten seconds from bleeding out on your floor like it’s part of his nightly routine.

You flip a page in your book.

“I’m dying,” comes his voice through the window screen. He sounds like a Victorian ghost. It’s kind of impressive.

“You said that last week,” you call back, still not looking.

“This time it’s for real,” he groans. “I think I got shot. Or stabbed. Possibly both.”

You sigh and slide open the window. Jungkook slumps through it with the grace of a wounded cat, mask pushed up, suit half-ripped, curls wild, and an actual trail of blood following him like glitter.

“My carpet,” you say flatly.

“Hi to you too.” He grins, teeth and all. There's a cut on his lip. He looks like trouble. He always looks like trouble. And God does it make you feel something.

“Let me guess,” you say, grabbing the first-aid kit. “Drug bust gone wrong? Gang of mutant pigeons? You finally picked a fight with someone taller than you?”

“Bold of you to assume anyone is taller than me when I’m upside down,” he mutters, flopping onto your bed without asking.

You ignore the chaos, kneel next to him, and dab at the gash on his temple.

“Stop moving. I don’t want your blood on my comforter. It’s expensive.”

“I’m expensive,” he mumbles. “Limited edition. Real collector’s item.”

“More like ‘slightly used with minor damage.’”

He laughs — a warm, boyish sound that makes your hand freeze for half a second. You pretend it didn’t happen.

“You know,” Jungkook says, eyes flicking up to yours, “most people would be flattered Spider-Man keeps showing up at their window.”

“You’re not Spider-Man,” you say. “You’re Jungkook in spandex who can’t stay upright for more than fifteen minutes.”

“I got pushed, thank you very much.”

You snort. “By what? A toddler?”

“I’ll have you know she was twelve and vicious.”

You press a bandage to his forehead a little harder than necessary.

He hisses. “Ow. I’m telling your mom you abuse superheroes.”

“She already thinks you’re my boyfriend.”

Jungkook blinks. “Wait, what?”

You shrug. “You come over injured. You sleep here sometimes. You call me at 2 a.m. like we’re in a situationship.”

“That’s slander,” he says, looking far too smug for someone who might be concussed. “I only call you after midnight if I’m emotionally stable.”

“That has never happened.”

“Okay, true.”

You roll your eyes, dropping the bloody gauze in the trash. “Why do you even come here? Don’t you have, like, a nurse sidekick or a secret spider cave or something?”

“I have all that,” he says, hand flapping mid-hair like he's all that. “but none of them smell like your vanilla shampoo.”

You blink. “You are literally injured and flirting with me.”

“Multitasking. I’m gifted.”

“You’re gonna bleed out.”

“Then kiss me before I go.”

You stare at him.

He stares back, shameless, like this is normal behavior. Like he didn’t just crawl through your window half-dead and immediately start being a menace.

God, he’s cute. Unfortunately.

“Not tonight, web boy.”

“So you’re saying there will be a night?”

You pause. Blink. Your brain reboots.

“No. Nope. Totally not what I said.” But your speech is a little too fast. It's giving it away, and Jungkook saw it a million miles back.

“You paused. That was a pause.”

You shove the ice pack into his hand. “Shut up and hold this.”

He grins and does what he’s told.

You lean back against your desk chair, arms crossed, trying not to look at the way his jaw flexes or how his shirt is riding up slightly, revealing the tiniest sliver of abs. You’re not looking. You’re definitely not looking.

“Thanks for patching me up,” he says after a beat.

You glance at him. He’s watching you again — but this time it’s not loud or teasing. Just kind of soft. The kind of soft that makes your stomach do something it shouldn’t.

You flick your eyes away.

“Yeah, well. Don’t die. I’d have to clean up your body and that sounds annoying.”

He smiles like that was the most romantic thing he’s ever heard.

He ends up staying.

Which, of course, he always does.

You sit cross-legged on the floor beside your bed, sipping from a lukewarm energy drink and pretending not to care that Jeon Jungkook is currently stretched across your pillows like he pays rent here. He doesn’t. But you’re pretty sure he has a toothbrush in your bathroom.

He’s in his undersuit now — black and sleeveless and clinging in ways you absolutely do not think about. His arm’s bandaged, his curls are still damp from the wet cloth you made him use, and there’s a tiny smudge of blood drying at the corner of his mouth. He looks like a mess.

An unfairly hot mess.

“So,” you say, gaze fixed on a chipped spot of polish on your thumbnail, “what happened out there?”

Jungkook lets out a breath and stares up at the ceiling like it personally offended him. “Some idiot tried to rob a tech truck three blocks from Oscorp. Had, like, actual alien weapons. Not even subtle.”

Your eyes flick to him despite yourself. “Alien-alien or just suspiciously shiny?”

“Alien-alien. Chitauri plasma rifles. The one with the glowy blue veins? You know the type.”

You hum, casually. As if you don’t know. As if you haven’t watched every Avengers briefing leaked online.

“They really let just anyone steal those now, huh?”

“Apparently,” he mutters. “Anyway, I swing in — like, mid-getaway — and try to web the tires. But these guys had shields. And a drone. A full drone, MJ. Like, Stark-level AI.”

“That explains the new hole in your suit.”

He groans. “Do not remind me. This one was limited edition.”

You rest your chin on your knees, quietly watching him. He talks with his hands a lot when he gets going, all excited energy and half-formed gestures. It’s like he forgets how tired he is. Or how much he’s bleeding. Or that it’s 2:37 in the morning and you’re literally just some girl he keeps crashing into.

Still. You could listen to him forever.

“You should call for help more,” you mutter. “You’re not invincible.”

He glances at you. And for a moment, something flickers behind his eyes. He grins lazily. “You worried about me, MJ?”

“I just don’t want alien blood staining my sheets,” you shoot back. “We both have standards.”

Before he can respond with something equally stupid and flirty, his watch makes a sharp beep. He groans again — louder, more dramatic.

“Ugh, nooo. Not now.”

“What is it?”

He presses the face of the watch and a pixelated message glows to life:

DISTRESS CALLAVENGERS TOWER — LEVEL 4 SECURITY THREAT

Your breath hitches. “Avengers?”

“Yeah. I, uh... I help out sometimes.”

You blink up at him. “You never said you worked with them.”

Jungkook shrugs like it’s no big deal. Like Tony Stark didn’t probably give him that suit. “It’s casual. I swing by. Save a cat. Fight a god. Eat snacks.”

You scoff, but your stomach flips a little. He’s joking — but not really. He’s one of them. You’ve always known he was more than the “neighborhood” part of Spider-Man, but still. Hearing it out loud makes something sharp and weird twist behind your ribs.

Jungkook slides off your bed and stands, tugging his top layer back on. His movements are quick now, practiced, but he’s still limping slightly.

You stay seated on the floor, staring up at him. You don’t say it, but your jaw tenses.

He glances at you, then smiles — that annoying, infuriatingly charming smile that makes your heart stutter when you’re not careful.

“Hey,” he says lightly. “Don’t I even get a good luck kiss?”

You blink.

“Excuse me?”

He leans down a little, eyes glinting. “What if I don’t make it back? This could be our last moment. Don’t you want to make it cinematic?”

You raise an eyebrow. “You’re gonna guilt-trip me into kissing you before fighting an alien or whatever?”

He pouts. “You’re literally my emotional support girl. This is part of the job.”

“Then you should’ve unionized.”

He laughs — full-on, head-thrown-back giggle — and it does something catastrophic to your insides.

You roll your eyes and stand, slowly. “Fine.”

“Wait, really?”

“Yeah. Close your eyes.”

Jungkook lights up, immediately obedient.

You lean in close.

...and flick his forehead.

“Ow!” he yelps, stumbling back. “Rude!”

You smirk. “That’s for bleeding on my floor.”

He presses a hand to his chest like he’s wounded. “Cold. So cold.”

You cross your arms and shrug, even as your heart thrums traitorously. “Now go save the world or whatever. I’ve got a chem test tomorrow.”

Jungkook backs toward the window, already lifting his mask into place. His curls are wild again, his eyes bright with adrenaline.

But before he climbs out, he pauses — just long enough to glance back at you, one hand resting on the sill.

“You know,” he says, voice muffled through the fabric, “I’m gonna get that kiss one day.”

You roll your eyes. “You keep saying that.”

“And you keep letting me in.”

With that, he winks — actually winks — and dives out the window like gravity is just a suggestion.

You stand there for a second too long.

Then you sigh, turn off the light, and climb into your bed, pulling the blankets over the spot where he left his warmth behind.

i've not written poetry in years (i'm more of a novelist) but i allowed myself some cassandra thoughts (as a treat). i actually had a lot of fun with this and i'm desperate to do more with the idea in the future so we will see.

inspired obviously by my own muses, @two-bees-poetry for the brilliant contrapuntal poems about greek myth, and anne carson, specifically when she talks about cassandra's speech being split in two and her bridging of past and future!

more of my logic in the tags because i'm annoying!

The Friendship of Edward VI and Barnaby Fitzpatrick

The friendship between these two young boys is quite an interesting one on the account that it can appear to be an unexpected one. Edward was the heir to the English throne, later King in his own right, while Barnaby was the eldest son of an Irish Baron, send over to England as a show of loyalty from his father. One would imagine that two boys from such differing backgrounds and sets of expectations would hardly gravitated towards each other, yet they did. One has to wonder what brought them together.

psa — pls use neurodivergent / dyslexia friendly fonts and high contrast text vs background color choices for low-vision fans interacting with your fanworks!

aka: making your podfic cover art and / or gifsets & text post memes more widely accessible and viewer friendly

-continues below the cut-

okay, hey, hi! thanks-in-advance for reading this long post (lol or skipping to the tldr) ₍^. .^₎Ⳋ ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

so, first of all! i made a canva poster regarding which fonts i consider to be neurodivergent & dyslexia friendly *in my personal opinion* -- it also has examples of text (foreground) vs immediately surrounding background color choices with luminosity contrast ratios that meet minimum WCAG standards for low-vision web users -- btw there's a plain text list of the fonts included and colors used on the poster near the bottom of this post

-----

-----

so! what do i think makes a font family neurodivergent / dyslexia friendly and / or accessible to low-vision persons?

i think a font is visually accessible if it passes the tests of:

no-exact-mirror-letters [ b d p q ]

distinguishable-vertical-bar-characters [ 1 I l i ]

and also very very importantly: i find it at least aesthetically tolerable 😅😉

which btw @staff the default tumblr True Blue color scheme uses a font that fails both of these tests — UPDATE: test failure for every color scheme's default font when using the ios app (side note: we need a dark mode for the queer pride color scheme)

UPDATE: i just tested all color schemes on my chromebook -- Vampire theme has a default font (combined with a tolerable-to-my-eyes low-light compatible color scheme) that passes these readability tests in the chrome browser but i don't know about any of the other browsers *shruggie*

-----

and here's a color palette representation of the color choices i made on the poster with their associated hex codes

-----

some context:

so while i was working on research (motivated by @flamingwell 's post) about ways to make my podfics accessible for hearing-impaired fandom friends, i got to thinking about how i often struggle to read lovingly made podfic covers and painstakingly created fandom-themed gifsets and text post memes here on our beloved hellsite. and so i was inspired to try and raise awareness amongst the podficcers making cover arts and the magicians making gifsets & memes! about webdesign standards regarding visual accessibility

btw! if you're tracking this, my research and experimentation with how i personally can make my podfics more accessible to those with biomechanical and/or neurological hearing challenges is still in progress, but you can read more about what i've learned so far here!

okay so! if you don't want to interact with the poster just now, or if you would like to be able to c&p an exact font name or color for your own use! here's a plain text list of all the fonts referenced as being low-vision / neurodivergent / dyslexia friendly in my opinion & based on my lived experiences on my poster, as well as the colors i chose to use as examples of high-contrast fonts vs bkgd

the grey bkgd for the text example boxes #373f51 aka ~charcoal~ and the pale pink font #ebddd7 aka ~champagne pink~

the yellow used on the example of how ugly the open dyslexic font is to me #ffd230 aka ~jonquil~

subtitles example: light blue font (usually called cyan in subtitle menus btw) #05e0e9 aka ~robin egg blue~ and black bkgd #000000

the honorable mentions box: blue #0033a0 aka ~egyptian blue~ and the white font #ffffff

the green-ish box #33443c aka ~dark slate gray~ using the pale pink font #ebddd7 aka ~champagne pink~ with the pale yellow link #e0f19c aka ~mindaro~

the purple box #5b3256 aka ~japanese violet~ using the pale pink font #ebddd7 aka ~champagne pink~ with the pale blue link #dcecf5 aka ~alice blue~

-----

a final consideration re font choices: don't be afraid to use Big Font Sizes and Use Up Some Space in your text overlay visual arts! especially for the most important information; WCAG standards recommend 18 point font size for easier readability (or a 14pt bolded font)

-----

TLDR--what i am asking for people to do when designing podfic covers and gifsets (well. really any artwork with a text overlay on an image) is to choose the font color and immediately surrounding background color to have a high contrast ratio (3:1 min for headers and 4.5:1 min for smaller fonts) AND to use dyslexia friendly fonts. pretty pretty please!

and in conclusion: OPEN DYSLEXIC IS AN UGLY FONT AND A DIRTY LIE AND I HATE IT SO MUCH PLS DON'T USE IT I BEG YOU orz orz orz YOU HAVE BETTER OPTIONS — SO. MANY. BETTER. OPTIONS

way to motivate yourself to do anatomy practice: draw your specialest little guy

[carpe-noctem-bitchess]

golden threads like spools of glazed time, rippling over skin reflected upon or emboldened in time? slivers of voices trapped in the warm rays touching and painting your hair, wisps of unwound paths waiting to be caught. so many red strings, fluttering like our erratic beating, yet I'm left weaving tapestries from bare scraps of discarded lint. furious stitching, from the timed ripples dying, words of a melody barely coaxed by red and blemished fingers. the same golden threads, now remain unspooled, what a mess, caged like a broken Wallace. soft goodbyes left unsaid, braids woven for ultimate indifference. what knot did we miss for the tapestry to burn and not shine? the yellow so dull like jaundiced eyes but the red so stark like first drawn blood.
