Because I know the resulting snippet will probably keep me up at unreasonable hours of the morning going 'oh my gosh' here's a three word prompt from your list - Comfort, Pain, and Tear.

Special connection

Summary: Exploring the unique connection between Skye and Cameron, the way they lie and reveal their ugliest and most vulnerable pieces to each other. 1.3k. It’s without context of the unwritten chapters, so let me know what your impressions are without showing their first meeting!

Author's note: This was supposed to be a drabble, I swear. I dreamed this up yesterday and couldn't not write it. This needs like 3 unwritten scenes for context lol. But I'm so nervous about those scenes for planning them for so long, they are difficult. This was just inevitable. Thank you for sending the words and setting the flood off :D

From this tiny scene prompt list

“So how did you like the mission with Zephyr?” Skye asked Cameron.

They walked by the snow white beach of the sea of stars, the cobalt blue waves disappearing into the darkening sky. As if the horizon was melting into the empty air. The scenery still took her breath away, no matter how often she walked by.

Cam drew a hand through his curly brown hair, long and intentionally messy in some kind of modern “cool” way. He also wore that black leather jacket and blue shirt that highlighted his eyes. Someone knew how to dress. She didn’t like thinking about it, but it was pleasant for the eyes, she had to admit that.

She hoped the question didn’t reveal how important his answer was, how insecure and giddy she felt all day, when they went away.

He hesitated. Looked to the side. “I think you would be surprised by all the things he isn’t telling you.”

She put a hand in the air between them, as if shielding herself from his words. “Don’t tell me. If you know something he doesn’t want me to know, then don’t.”

“You are not surprised?” Cam’s tone definitely was. “You know I would tell you.”

“Because you feel more loyalty to me? After one meeting?” She smiled. Her lips were hurting from stretching them that way. Always did that when she was upset. It wasn’t a conscious decision by any means. Just a reflex that occasionally got her into trouble.

“You know there is something special between us.” Cam put a hand on her elbow and made her stop, look at him. His blue eyes, the baby blue eyes she was sure he used to charm girls, were glittering and earnest.

“There is nothing special between us. Don’t talk like that. You just happened to be an outsider I don’t care about, who I told my worries to one day.” She paused, a flash of realisation hitting her behind the eyes. “And that’s what happened with Zephyr too, didn’t it.”

“Ouch,” he said and smiled. The pained smile. Her smile. Yes, he understood. Even now she was testing him, even now she was looking for the borders of their sudden connection.

Cause there was a connection, one she couldn’t explain, reason or analyse. She just went ahead and said what she wanted to say, her worries, her frustration with Zephyr, her anger with herself, for feeling like had to restrain herself all the time, cause what was inside her was ugly, not sociable, not acceptable enough. She let her worst secrets, her worst side shine, something she didn’t dare to do with any of her friends, not even and especially not with Zephyr. Nobody knew aside from her family, and they only knew, because they understood. Cause her mother taught her how to be different, how to hide this from people. She never dreamed of someone else knowing and understanding this outside of them, outside of the protection her parents, her home, have given her.

But now she left home, found work, even moved in with her boyfriend and it all felt like there was no way back. That she was an adult, supposed to stand on her own feet and want it. Handle it.

And then Cameron was there, nodding and laughing and agreeing…and the relief was so overwhelming she wanted to cry.

It was also deeply uncomfortable, knowing there was a person who could see her as she was and it wasn’t her friend. Or her boyfriend.

Suddenly she felt really bad for saying it wasn’t true. It was what she wanted to say though. Something about Cameron always made her say things she wanted to say, without thinking of his feelings first.

It was terrible of her.

“It’s fine, don’t worry about it,” he said as if he read her mind and sniffed. “I’m used to bringing out the worst in people. It’s nothing personal.”

A lie he wanted to tell for a change. She thought not being able to say the truth was the worst, so how come there were lies she yearned to say instead?

His pain hit her, mixed with hers, and suddenly she was throwing her arms around him, pulling him close. His spicy cologne clogged her nose.

“It usually doesn’t hurt you though. But it does, coming from me. How come?” Skye wrapped her arms around his back, buried her face in his shoulder and held him close.

“What we have is special. You just don’t like it.” He was tense in her arms.

“I have a boyfriend,” she protested.

“I know,” he nodded and then leaned his head against her.

“I love him.”

“There are more ways to love someone, you know?” His arms circled her back as he returned her embrace.

“But how can I…how can I feel so close and accepted with you, with the man who isn’t my boyfriend?” She felt the tears now, spilling on her cheeks, dripping on his jacket. She wanted to hold him and now she was being held. “Aren’t you afraid I will fall in love with you?”

“I know you won’t.” He squeezed her tightly. “Because you love Zephyr and I know why.”

“Why?”

“Because you respect and admire him as a person. Because he can keep up with you, and so few people can do that. Because he gives you peace, but you can also sense part of what I witnessed at our mission together. You want to help him, save him, to be the one to comfort him. You want him to need you.”

There was nothing about that she could dispute. It hurt being exposed like that, like he ripped her ribcage open to have a look at her heart. She snuggled deeper into his arms in response.

“I miss this. I miss being able to just hug and touch and not having to worry, if it means something. If it’s not too much or not enough or if he wants something different from me.”

“You can have it. You can do whatever you want with me.”

“It’s going to mean something for me too. It already does. I lied. You are already important to me.”

“I know. You don’t have to lie to me. You never have to lie to me.”

“You know everything anyway. How? How? I’m the mind mage. I know what everyone thinks. I have people sharing my mind. Hal. Zeph. Why is it so easy for you? How do you see what they don’t?”

“Cause we are similar? Cause we think the same way? I don’t know, S. I don’t know. I just don’t wanna lose it.”

“That must have been difficult to say.”

“But you get it out of me anyway. I had a veil on my edges for years. A veil against the world, so I felt nothing, and I could only feel when I was causing pain. You have pierced through it, and now those edges hurt and hurt, but I can only hold on closer for comfort. I can’t stop feeling it anymore.”

“Zephyr offered you to stay,” she guessed. That was a solution. She didn’t want to let go of him either.

“He is a good person. Like he has a radar on people in need and feels obligated to save them.” He shifted, turning his head slightly against her neck. “And you decided to save a person like that. Difficult endeavour indeed.”

They stayed like that for a long time, locked in an embrace that didn’t make sense. But being held felt right. His arms, his scent, the feel of leather under her arms, the heartbeat she felt against her. He was filling a void she was afraid to cross with Zephyr. She couldn’t imagine just coming and throwing her hands around him like this. There were too many hidden meanings, stresses, questions of power and reaction to mule over.

She had made love complicated for herself and she hated it. Shouldn’t it have been the other way around? Shouldn’t they have been comfortable touching, before they got together?

She fell for his brain, felt attracted to his personality, but the physical barriers were still there.

But at least now she knew, as she held on to what she so dearly missed.

Losing my mind at seeing Twitter Discourse where a girl talks about being a waitress and how sometimes people don't acknowledge her or reply to her at all when she speaks to them and how it feels dehumanising and all the people in the replies are like UM. SOME OF US HAVE /SOCIAL ANXIETY/ You're literally an evil person for wishing people would treat you with bare minimum decency :/ like idk how to tell you this but if a waitress asks how your evening is while she's taking you to your seat in a restaurant and you're gonna pretend saying "Fine, thank you" is a horrific arduous task like. Maybe you're just a massive cunt? Maybe you're just an insufferable fuckwit?

#i loveeeeee when people use social anxiety as an excuse to be rude like lmao #i get anxious sometimes and i can be awkward as fuck #but a two word 'Good. Thanks.' really is not that fucking difficult good god #especially since she stated theres been times when multiple customers will totally ignore any greeting and bark orders at her like.#youre just rude bro thats all that is

To me, the best embodiment of modern capitalism is in the phrase "please hold, we are experiencing higher than usual call volume". I know it's a lie. You know it's a lie. But you still hear that line every time you call, regardless of the day or time, because it shifts the blame. It tries to prompt you to blame the other callers instead of asking, "Hey, why are they deliberately understaffing their call centers and making it so difficult to get help?" It takes a failing caused by a deliberate, profit-focused management choice, and turns it into a problem with the people using the system, rather than one with the system itself. And that pattern, to me, is the epitome of the modern corporate system.

#today in reliabledragon complains about call centers #I know this isn't that deep or anything #but like #this wording is a choice #and this pattern just shows up in so many places #it's infuriating #to see how effectively systems can shift the blame for their failures onto the actions of the people participating in them #anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk #my posts

The Way to Bahr Ezadir

"It's a great river, you know, that only glimpses the sun once before it cascades into the sea. A long time ago, the prince named the river for his knight, and the river passed its name to the city. Now no one will forget Ezadir, who fell protecting his love."

(An original illustration project of mine, with my OCs)

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

#DPxDC #dcxdp #Danny makes a card game to save the world.#Technically he worded the ritual so that they had to ‘beat’ him as those are the most powerful barriers and most reliable.#keys can just get lost or stolen (like the one to Pariah’s Coffin)#A riddle would be useless once someone figured out the answer. Like how no one takes the sphynx seriously anymore.#(Sorry Tuck. But it’s true).#And there is NO WAY Danny is just leaving a hole open for anyone to pass through. No thank you!#So…beating him. But it’s not like Danny wanted to fight so…he edited the ritual a TINY bit. Card games are good. Much less painful too.#Danny Tucker and Sam made the most complicated card game they could imagine.#It’s based on their strategies for fighting ghosts. Capturing them in thermoses. And MUCH based on a on field battle strategy.#It often requires spontaneous thinking on the spot. So Danny? In his ELEMNT. It doubles as practice for his actual ghost battles too.#They had SO much fun making this.#Sam added an entire series of plant cards that act as traps and healing ointments and duds that just take up the field.#Tucker added legitimate hyroglyphics combined with Latin as well as English and ghost speak.#Yes. You actually have to speak that language to play. With proper pronunciation. (Amity Parker’s think the three are talking gibberish.)#I headcanon Sam and Tucker are fluent in Ghost.#Constantine WILL figure this game out SO HELP HIM!#Some of the cards also have combinations related to constellations either in name or placement on the board.#By the way the board is based on a Hexagonal summoning circle with Rhunes along the edges #And the placement of the cards on the board and on what rhune MATTERS.#Also the cards move disintegrate and have certain abilities. Think of Harry Potter Wizard Chess.#But they are normal when Danny plays at school. This is just for ✨effect✨ Against invaders.#Danny faces multiple opponents. He also halts alien invasions.#While Danny COULD stop crime on earth he’s not sure how to fight a normal human and hold back so he sticks to ghosts.#The Justice league are going crazy trying to figure out who this entity is and after deep research are convinced this is some sort of #Ancient being who has protected earth for millenia. They have paintings on ruins and everything.#Danny is not aware they think this.#Raven starts praying to Danny as if he is a god and wrangles the other Teen Titans into doing so as well. Danny is still unaware of this.#Danny is not a King or an ancient. Just a very VERY strong ghost.

no thoughts just mean!bf remus mocking your cries n whimpers as he fucks into you n tells you how desperate you are for him

i genuinely needed to sit down and stare at my phone for a good two minutes to process this i am going crazy.

he would be so, so, so mean. the gag is that he’s the one who initiates everything and is, in fact, equally if not more desperate. but, mean ! remus loves ignoring this and instead, mocks you for your every cry and whine.

remus’ cock is so big, both in length and width. every time he’s inside you, it feels like the first time all over again because his size is just so overwhelming. remus sometimes feels bad for doing this, but his cock throbs at the sight of you struggling to take him and he often loses self-control and meanly laughs in your face when you cry out at the feeling of him suddenly pushing into you. every time you would tell him to slow down, he’d only go faster, laughing breathlessly at your whines and the tears on your cheeks.

‘telling me to stop but i’m sure you like this, don’t you, baby? cunt’s so fuckin’ wet.’

‘does it hurt, dove? thought you said you could take me?’

just imagine remus calling you his fussy little baby; every time you paw at his thighs, attempting to tell him that you need him while he’s studying, he’d just sigh in annoyance and bend you over his desk to fuck you stupid :( i don’t know if remus would slap you or not, but he would definitely tug your hair to force you to look up at him every time he takes you from behind !

‘is that what you needed, hm? all you fuckin’ think about is getting filled up—is this what my baby needed? such a fuckin’ brat, no patience at all.’

he genuinely has to control himself from busting inside you at the sight of your wobbly lips and furrowed eyebrows, paired with your teary eyes and the quiet mewls coming out from your mouth. you just look so fucked out and cute, he has to resist leaning down and peppering kisses all over your face.

i know this is a little unhinged but all i’ve been thinking about is remus fucking you in your childhood bedroom and calling you gross and disgusting for enjoying it when he ruins you as your parents are downstairs.

‘fuck—imagine what they’d say when they see their little girl slutting herself out like this. i’ve completely ruined you, haven’t i? no longer their innocent baby, are you, honey?’ BRRRRR i need psychiatric help.
