THIS BLOG IS 4 YEARS OLD WHAT THE FUCK 🔥

#happy anniversary to the revamp blog #robin came into existence in 2018 tho

[specterseen]

once the call cuts off she's heading up. shaking off the adrenaline in the elevator of getting into a scuff.

robin meets julian's eyes as his door opens. through the side-view mirror of a car on the walk here she determined that it didn't look bad. a scratch or two, a bloody lip and bruising starting to form on her cheek. but then again it's pretty dark out. "it's not as bad as it looks, i promise." she says, walking past him to kick off her shoes.

he'd known what the answer was going to be. how could he not? but, julian has drunkenly broken into robin's place one too many times to even think of turning her away, phone still on the kitchen counter when he rips back one of the blackout curtains and spots a small figure in the dim glow of the streetlamp.

jesus h. christ . . .

snapping the curtain shut, julian concludes the call and buzzes robin up to the penthouse, mentally preparing himself for whatever damage he's about to witness.

she snorts. robin knew who to call once her night turned a bit sour. she lets a moment go by, "maybe you should look out the window?" eyes look up at the building and honestly can't remember nor pinpoint the exact apartment window is julian's.

"its a little chilly, can i come up?"

❝ i'd ask who the fuck i have to kill. hope this helps, ❞ he tacks on, tone syrupy sweet though there's an underlying hostility to it.

julian's general apathy and flakiness unfortunately do not extend to those very few he chooses to be loyal to, the thought of anyone hurting robin making him scowl at his phone as he puts it down on the kitchen counter and takes a wild stab at its speaker function.

❝ is this really a hypothetical question, or should i look out the fucking window? ❞

robin holds her phone up to her ear, speaking to the voice on the other side. "so uh, hypothetically what would you do if i was outside your place with some..... slight injuries?" she kicks a rock as she paces under a street light.

i think i'm just gonna keep robin on low activity

i'm able to pop in and reply to things here and there... i do feel random bouts of muse on here and on my multi but i don't think i can be super consistent atm! in all honesty, i am feeling a little depressed/stuck with my life lmao. i'm thinking about moving cities / getting a new job elsewhere. it's just been heavy on my mind and my current routine is driving me a little nuts so... i am around! just lurking and stuff :^)

and if any mutuals wanna be mutuals on insta, here is mine: koifishluvr__

#ahhh the scaries of life hitting me lately! #cant believe i'll be 25 this year and i've been fartin around on this site since i was 12... n e way... #edit: i love tumblr rp i will never fully leave it i think. i'm just not fully here atm

[ crowd ] in a busy, noisy crowd, sender leans in to receiver to speak to them

the local music scene is usually cool around here. but tonight is kinda lame. but she'll give the band playing the benefit of the doubt. everyone has their off days. she lifts the beer bottle to her mouth before she notices dustin lean in to her. robin leans in too with the assumption that he's going to say something to her. or maybe he already did. she can't really tell. eyes look up to him with a questioning look, "what? can't hear you!" she points over to the door and mouths, 'talk outside?'

PROMPTS FROM LOVE ACTUALLY *  assorted dialogue from the 2003 film, adjust as necessary

it’s the saddest part of my day, leaving you.

if you look for it, i’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.

i could just have him murdered.

thank you, i’ll think about it.

ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away.

to me, you are perfect.

can you give me any clues at all?

well the truth is… actually… i’m in love.

i really want to know.

there’s nothing i can do about it.

i thought it would be something worse.

tell her that you love her.

okay, that sounds fine. bit boring, but fine.

that sounds so bizarre.

that is genuinely bad timing.

american girls would seriously dig me with my cute british accent.

they've done it. it's official.

this is shit, isn't it?

i was hoping you'd win.

christmas is for people with someone they love in their lives.

so... what's this big news then?

it was always going to be a total shit time.

oh, don't be disgusting. get out of my house.

look at the sign on the door.

you’ll always regret it if you don’t.

well, this is a surprise.

has it been a good visit?

we got what we came for.

you never talk to me. you don’t like me.

you can just show yourself out, can’t you?

do you think everybody knows?

tell me, if you were in my position, what would you do?

would you wait around to find out?

oh god, i am so in the wrong.

you’ve also made a fool out of me.

ask me anything you like. i’ll tell you the truth.

god, i wish you hadn’t turned that down.

shit, i can’t believe i just said that.

basically, you’re fucked, aren’t you?

this is shit, isn’t it?

where the fuck is my fucking coat?

thank you very much, but no.

actually, i was being serious.

it would be great if we could be friends.

it’s a terrible, terrible mistake.

you’re not who i think you are, are you?

who do you have to screw around here to get a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit?

i will miss you. and your very slow typing. and your very bad driving.

i’ll give you anything you ask for, as long as it’s not something i don’t want to give.

i’m very busy and important. how can i help you?

oh, shut your face.

actually, i don’t have to go.

true love lasts a lifetime.

so what’s this big news, then?

life is full of interruptions and complications.

oh no. that is so inconvenient.

i very much like the look of you.

send an embarrassingly big car and i’ll be there!

i never asked you how your love life is going.

the thing about romance is… people only get together right at the very end.

look at the sign on the door!

loitering around the jewelry section, i see!

a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

i think you’re not surprised.

oh my god, i’ve got a terrible stomach ache.

how will you be celebrating?

all i want for christmas is you.

you would have broken my heart if you’d said yes.

the nurses are trying to kill me.

are you sure you don’t mind me going without you?

i love you even when you’re sick and look disgusting.

did i mention that i love you?

i look quite pretty.

no one’s ever going to shag you if you cry all the time.

hello. i heard you were gorgeous.

i’ll just be hanging around the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed.

“um? holy shit?” is the first thing that comes out of her mouth. now she know’s paranormal and spooky on her end but… flames coming out from rain’s hand? nope. robin launches forward but not close enough to get touch the flame, concern in her eyes. “doesn’t that hurt?!”

OPEN.

“oh did i…” she glances down to her hand, which is currently covered in flames. “did i not tell you about this?”

#LMAO i had to #hidefire

[specterseen]

sleepy eyes blink open. wow, she really did doze off without a problem. she shifts to check the time on her phone, still a little in shock that she managed to fall asleep so well. robin is feeling a little laid bare as they'd been up talking about anything and everything until the early morning orange of the sunrise peeked through the nearby window. it was.. nice and kind of needed.

"ooo- yes. i could eat."

she sits up and begins tugging at the sleeve of the knit sweater that she's still wearing from yesterday. robin looks to dustin, she's still working on eye contact.

"hey um.. thanks for uh.. not calling me crazy or anything like that. y'know about.. my situation."

OPEN - based on this.

"d'you want me to make us some breakfast? i'm sure i've got stuff in the kitchen."

it had been a while since dustin had shared a bed with anyone, and even longer since he'd woken up next to them. nothing had happened between the two of them, or at least, what most would consider nothing. he had basically told them everything the night before. they knew him inside and out, now.

he's the first up, still dressed in clothes from the night before. somehow, he'd managed to fall asleep in jeans. they had really been talking.

"i make a pretty mean fried egg."

#tremblesigh #robin telling him about her ability ? ??

[specterseen]

thinking about robin finally being so sick of her hometown that she moves to a bigger city. gets a job as a barista and is the resident grumpy girl at her job and eventually does film work/photography on the side. all while dealing with the horrors but whatever we ball. and maybe her dad, by chance, meets someone for the first time since robin's mom :')

PROMPTS FOR BEST FRIENDS WHO DON'T REALIZE THEY'RE TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

what do you mean? i've always been okay with you dating other people. for some reason, this time just feels different.

do you think you could ever see us as more than friends?

i compare anyone i ever date to you. is that weird?

did they actually think we were dating? that's a little strange.

do you get asked a lot if we're a couple?

you're my best friend. i would never want to risk our friendship.

our friendship matters more to me than anything. i don't ever want you to leave my life.

i'll admit. i've started looking at you differently... in a good way.

guess i never realized how beautiful you are.

would you consider this a date?

seeing you with them... it made me so mad. i can't explain the feeling.

i'm afraid i'll lose you. i can't risk it.

you're not just my best friend, you're my... nevermind. forget i said anything.

sooner or later you'll probably realize you've been in love with me this whole time.

i don't want to ruin our friendship. that's the main issue i have.

but what if you're the one for me?

do you believe in soulmates?

no one else compares with you.

of course i care about you. you're my best friend. you always will be.

wow. you look... absolutely breathtaking.

i know i'm not supposed to have feelings for you, but i do.

they said we'd make a cute couple, you know.

if no one asks you, and no one asks me... maybe we could go to the dance together. as friends.

i'm always going to be by your side. that's what best friends do.

i won't let anything happen to you. i promise.

you have no idea the lengths i would go through to keep you safe.

you don't treat anyone else like this. just me.

how long have you had feelings for me?

whatever happens, we can't let this get in the way of our friendship.

what's a kiss between friends?

best friends cuddle. this is normal. this doesn't have to be romantic.

i've always viewed you differently than other people.

you're so special to me, and you don't even realize it.

i've never cared about anyone like i care about you.

i just don't want them to get in the way of our friendship.

when were you going to tell me you were seeing someone? i thought i was the first person you told about that stuff.

don't you get it? they're not you.

i'm not in love with them. i have feelings for someone else, someone i can't have.

would it make things weird between us if i kissed you right now?

no, i'm not staring at your lips. what are you talking about?

my parents keep insisting that we'd make a great couple.

you've always been my first priority.

you said something earlier about the people you love.

could you ever see yourself loving me?

and what about me? do you love me?

maybe we could go on a date sometime. an actual date where i plan nice things and bring you flowers.

i've been in love with you since the day we met. there. i said it. happy now?

"peel's fine." robin has always ate them with the peel, it doesn't bother her. she's already sneaking in beside him to take a piece. "yum."

OPEN.

"peel? or no peel?" he's cutting up apples for the both of them to share. he personally has no preference, but it's always nice to check.
