Bunny calls Carmy pretty boy and he gets flustered 🥰
it rolls off her tongue so easily, bunny doesn't even notice.
"hi, pretty boy," she grins, winking at carmen as she passes him on her way to the kitchen. the man lets his greeting tumble into a quiet nothing, his ears and face going hot all at once.
he blinks at an obvious bunny, who now has her head poked in the fridge.
"what should we do for dinner today? we could just make something here, but i also really wanna try that ramen place syd was telling us about. maybe we can even invite her if she's not busy–hey. bear? you good?"
the veil drops and carmen's back.
"sorry, what?"
bunny shuts the fridge, brow creasing in a frown.
"i was just talking about dinner, but never mind. are you okay, carmen?" she questions him, shuffling over to cup his face in her hands. "you look like something's wrong."
a shake of the head from carmen. he raises his hands to sit against hers, thumbs rubbing at the back of her palms.
"no, no," bear stammers, "i mean, yeah. yeah, i'm all good, i just–you called me, uh... you called me pretty boy."
bunny's shoulders deflate a little. "oh. sorry, i won't say it again if you don't like it..."
"shit, no. that's not what i meant. i, uh... sorry," carmen interrupts himself. "my heart just started beatin' real fast."
stomach dropping, a flash of panic fills bunny's gaze. she stands with carmen, ready to guide him to the nearest seat or take a step back. whatever her needs.
"okay," bunny nods, voice lowering into a calm softness. "okay, you wanna do the couch? or do you need me to back up a little?"
carmen shakes his head once more, grasping at bunny's arms.
"no, sweet girl. i'm sorry, i-it's good. like a good fast heartbeat, cause of the nickname. i liked it. really fuckin' love it actually, that's why my heart started beating like a motherfucker, okay? i'm all good. didn't mean to worry you, bunny, i'm sorry."
carmen pairs his words with a tight hug. his sturdy arms wrap around the woman as he closes his eyes, and tucks his face into the crook of her neck. bunny lets out the nervous breath she's holding, her hands rubbing up and down his back.
"okay," she exhales again. "okay."
the couple remains in the embrace–in the space allying their kitchen and living room–for a few moments longer. bunny just barely catches the sound of carmen's voice, as it rumbles into her skin with a fuzz-inducing warmth.
"say it again, please?"
bunny smiles widely to herself, a small laugh huffing from her nose.
"hi, pretty boy."

I was watching the episode where Lloyd ages up and guys-
guys the ninja were devastated.
excuse the bad quality i cant screenshot netflix
Like. This is probably the only kids show that I have seen that teaches about how maturing too early can lead to severe mental health consequences. How missing out on your childhood is devastating.
But the fact that the ninja were more upset about it than Wu was…it must have hit especially hard to them since with their parental situations they probably had to grow up too early too. They didnt want their baby brother to have to go through what they did.
Brb while i cry.

i just love moments in books where a character forgets who they are and someone goes ahead and tells them little details about themselves in a straightforward manner, because they know the person in such a way that the words will flow as natural as breathing.
"You're a painter. You're a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces."
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay
"You’re a swimmer. You’re a baker. You’re a cook. You’re a reader. You have a beautiful voice, though you never sing anymore. You’re an excellent pianist. You’re an art collector. You write me lovely messages when I’m away. You’re patient. You’re generous. You’re the best listener I know. You’re the smartest person I know, in every way. You’re the bravest person I know, in every way... You were treated horribly. You came out on the other end. You were always you."
― Yanagihara, A Little Life

bears in trees just simultaneously swallowed me whole, gripped my soul and squeezed it raw, spat me out covered in blood and guts and tears, and embraced me all at once. we don't talk anymore is raw and i feel raw and exposed, we are flesh and bones but we are also people and we do not talk anymore and i miss you like the ocean but i am scared of jumping in the puddle. anyways thank you bears in trees for making songs that are honest and real and that do not shirk away from the scary uncomfortable feelings that are so much easier to simply avoid but instead say, this. this is what i feel, and i am human
