There is something so intimate about the idea of life series Pearl having this urge to want to believe in Gem despite knowing how the outcome will be, despite knowing what will happen when they face their swords against each other on burning wood.
The way the grass singes to ash on their feet, the way their eyes flash that dangerous color..but they both understand what's at stake here, Gem knows now what her life has become. Pearl has seen this outcome too many times to want to wish for a miracle. She's not unhinged this time, she's not alone, but for some reason, this may be the loneliest she has ever felt.
But still, Pearl protects Gem. She holds her close at night, rough, scarred hands meet soft petal fingers, fingers that soon will look like Pearl's. She leaves a kiss on their intertwined hands and feels the soft breath of Gem's lungs rising up and down while she sleeps blissfully.
Their time is at its end, but their rosy cheeks and twinkling laughter is something they keep locked safe, in a butterfly box.
Im so weird for the Jason and Dick's bonding. (as bro for me) (no judgment ship who you must lmao)
Like them being so different, having such a complicated history, omg that's everything to me.
I'm genuinely obsessed with the idea of them laughing together at a joke no one else understood during family dinner. Just them chocking on their food while everyone's just like 'didn't they hate each other three minutes ago' like they're so precious.
Jason being the oldest of Dick's younger siblings, makes talking to him about his problems easier, and Dick never giving up on Jason make him understand that his big BRO truly cares.
Do not test me, I will shut down my entire game to add one singular table that I need for one singular shot that might not even make it into the final product, I swear to God.
