@sidestreetmuses​ asked: “What is better? To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?” (gray)

“neither.” a sigh. “to try and call any act of good better than another is pointless. you shouldn’t be trying to quantify good or assess the purity of it. everyone in this world is capable of great good and great evil, but… everyone is so busy arguing over it and what good is better than another good that they lose sight of the fact they all should just be good people regardless.”

“no one in this world is born good or naturally evil. people are just people that want simple answers for complex questions. it’s best not to dwell on something like that when what matters is that you are doing good things. and one act of good can change the world, regardless of background.”

“and what if our base urges are to hurt people?” not that grey wants to, he never wanted to. but stale bloodbags are hard to stick to after so many years when the constant pulse of blood is around him. “to sink our teeth into them and feed off them until they’re completely dry. isn’t that evil?”

that’s all that’s really kept him grounded, outside his sister. overcoming his evil day in and day out, to stop from doing to someone else what was done to him despite how good the blood smelled. he could take it if he chose to. he knew that much. “what if we need the idea of being evil to keep us good?”

“Who says that I’m not going to go into therapy on my own first? We all need it. Uncle Donald is on board. Still gonna talk to Aunt Darcie and Uncle Chad first though.”

“Of course dying young on an adventure always could be a possibility too. Though I would bet more on Dewey for that but.” A shrug. 

“Dewey’s too dumb to die. Affectionately. And mom would never suggest therapy because it would mean she’d probably have to go too. I think she’d rather take another long vacation to Spain before she did that.”

A grin in response. “Bet you five bucks that dad tries to get you to a therapist before you can manage to get there yourself, with how Uncle Scrooge keeps us all busy.”

      ❝ gizmoduck may be cool on an engineering level… ❞ and cam knows all about the suit and how it works…  ❝ and though he MAY BE GOOD with the public and a good hero that people like, you can’t say that darkwing’s DETERMINATION and overall dark aesthetic does put him at an even playing field with gizmo. ❞

“yeah, but gizmoduck was doing the hero thing first.” even though he knows gyro’s absolutely still annoyed with the whole thing. maybe that’s part of the appeal - seeing something so little get under his friends feathers is amusing in it’s own right. “and darkwing’s fine, but he’s jumping off an established ip. where’s the originality?”

“Darkwing Duck is what we all aspire to be - the dashing hero that’s obviously a massive nerd, but still confident enough to run around in cosplay doing the vigilante thing. So yeah, I’m a fan. Even if Gizmoduck is better.” Tyler shrugged. “Don’t get mad about facts.”

“Let me take your pain.” Macario says, holding a hand out. There’s no fear or trepidation on the boy’s face, for all he knows what he’s offering. Emotional pain is different from physical. It isn’t something his mama can heal with an arepa. But he’s been doing this for a long time now, he knows he can handle it. He has to. For his family and his town. “Let yourself be happy.”

“ can't we just... make out, or something? “ 

@scnrisa

“How convenient, that’s one of my favorite hobbies!“ Tyler’s already reaching for Cam and abandoning the work he’d been considering (finally) doing. There were other thoughts about things they could be off doing, but making out definitely sounded more fun.

❛ i was born for politics. i have great hair and i love lying. ❜

“You figure out a slogan yet? Because ‘great hair and love lying’ won’t get you votes, kiddo. Most people don’t want to be reminded they’re being lied to.” Darcie asked, grinning to her nephew.

“See, Louie, this is why someday dad’s gonna shove you guys into therapy.” Caspian shook his head, raising an eyebrow to his cousin. “Assuming Uncle Scrooge doesn’t get us all killed first.”

「 ☆ 」 Mitch Mallory. The name strikes a familiar chord and Dalisay’s eyes widen with recognition, a soft ‘oh’ slipping through a smile that’s far more excited than someone who elicits such a faint memory should bring. But a memory is still a memory and Mitch is the closest thing she’s interacted with to her old life since striking out on her own. Aside from the messages from her parents’ assistant telling her to cease and desist her letters and postcards. Mitch’s familiarity is refreshing— even if his name is blurred amongst a myriad of examples of people her parents wished she would emulate more —and Dalisay latches onto it as much as she does his politeness.

Who would have guessed that she’d run into an old friend— technically, more or less —after the horrible day she had? Brushing off Mitch’s concern with a good-natured wave, she averts her gaze and softly says, ❝ Thank you for the kind offer… but there’s no one who would be interested in hearing about this. ❞ No one who would do anything aside from judge her and add yet another mistake to her record. Unless she openly went to her family herself and decided to follow whatever it is they wanted of her, she doesn’t expect anything but cold silence. ❝ Still, it’s nice to meet up with an old family friend. ❞

If someone she might have met at a party or something years ago counts as an old family friend.

She knows how to play the game, he can already see that. That’s fine. If she knows she needs to be doted on, then she’s already better than most of the girls he’s dated. He carefully closes the car door on her side before getting in the driver’s seat himself. For all their connection was tangential, it was something and he could already only see the end of their story being a happy one. Her beauty was something obvious, even under the dirty and torn appearance.

That no one of importance had already gotten her on their arm was a tragedy and to his advantage. Mitch drove onward to where he knew the higher end stores were in town. “It’s really no trouble. I can afford to treat you and it’s clear you deserve to be treated to a good evening. Pretty women like you always deserve the best.” He glances over with a wry grin. “Guess it’s good I was around to make sure you got it. Do you want to go to a salon first or the dress shop?”

Just as much as she didn’t want to be seen with him in this state, it wouldn’t do for him to go to dinner with a woman so clearly in distress. It would be better for them both that he took care of this expense. There was also the thought of making sure she was properly settled in somewhere respectable after dinner, but he’d leave that for then. There were enough options that he wasn’t worried.

Laurel rushes in and immediately notices that the woman behind the counter is already working on something. Thank goodness it’s Aurelian, she’s been so helpful and accommodating the few times they’ve met.

“Hi! I’m so sorry if I’m interrupting anything, your pastries are always the best and I don’t have time to bake but my son’s birthday is coming up so–”

Breathe. It’s okay. Aurelian isn’t Kurt or your boss, she’s not going to get mad.

“Sorry. I ran over here on my lunch break; I’m a little overwhelmed. My son is turning fourteen and I wanted to place an advance order for a cake. Is that something you can do?”

The customer service smile immediately dissolves into a much more genuine smile. Laurel’s been in a few times, enough for her to know the other woman by name.

“Hey, no need to apologize at all. I can absolutely take an advance order for a cake and I’d be honored to help you with your son’s birthday.”

She starts working on Laurel’s usual drink even as they talk - Aurelian can see how flustered she is.

“What sort of cake do you want and when will you need it by?”
