an unthinkable fate, indeed part two

“A Miss Edwina Sharma for you, my lord,” Jeffries announces before stepping aside to reveal Anthony’s intended. She is not wearing her usual pink, instead opting for a deep blue gown that’s reminiscent of her sister more than anything. “Shall I bring refreshments?”

“I will not be here long enough,” Edwina says before Anthony has the chance to say anything. He offers a short nod to Jeffries before guiding Edwina to one of the softer chairs in his study. “Thank you, my lord.”

“To what do I owe the pleasure?” Anthony asks, taking the chair opposite her. “I hope all is well.”

There’s a fire blazing, trying to stave off some of the wet chill caused by the day’s thunderstorms, that makes Edwina’s face seem to glow. Not for the first time, he’s struck by how beautiful she truly is. And not for the first time, he feels absolutely nothing in response to that knowledge.

“All is not well,” Edwina says slowly. Her fingers fiddle with each other in her lap but it does not hide the way her hands shake. He almost reaches out to take them in his own, to try to soothe some of her worry. Edwina flinches when he moves to just that and he drops his hand back to his lap, his stomach dropping. He is unused to women flinching back from him. “I have thought on what we discussed the last time we were together. About your expectations for our marriage.”

“Is there something you wish to add?” Anthony asks, unconsciously leaning towards her. He prays that she trusts his sincerity as he continues. “I value whatever insight you can offer, Miss Edwina.”

“There is something I wish to clarify,” she says, voice still hesitant. Her eyes scan his face, gauging his mild reaction to her. “You claim that love will have no place in our marriage, correct?”

“That is what I said, yes.”

“Yet, I am sure that my sister made it quite clear that what I wanted, above all else,” Edwina says, voice gaining confidence as she speaks. There’s a spark of anger in her eyes that makes him think of Kate. “Was a love match.”

“She mentioned as much,” Anthony mutters before clearing his throat. He tries to push away whatever thoughts of Kate that the mere mention of her brought to mind - her eyes, her lips, the curve of her cheek. It’s an impossible task that he is incapable of accomplishing but it does not stop him from trying. “More than once.”

“And knowing that you were not interested in a love match,” Edwina continues in the same sharp tone. Her genteel voice slowly giving way to a deeper tone, a sharper tone with the same clipped off accent as her sister. “You still chose to pursue me.”

It is not a question.

“The night of the poetry reading,” Anthony offers. “I said that I could not give you the passion you deserve but my promise to be a good husband still stands. I will do my duty in regards to you and the role you fulfill in my life.”

“There is that word again,” Edwina says with a slight chuckle, shaking her head.

“Pardon?”

“Roles,” Edwina says through her teeth. She inhales sharply, shaking her head gently before pinning him with her piercing gaze. Were he a younger man, a weaker man, he might have flinched back from such a gaze. “Duty. I should have listened better, I suppose.”

“Wh-what is it - what was it you came here to say, Miss Edwina?” Anthony asks, tugging at his cravat slightly. He finds it hard to breathe, his chest tightening the same way it had in the garden that morning.

“Nothing,” she says softly, looking down at her fiddling fingers. Her shoulders deflate and some of the anger melts from her face. “There is nothing that I have to say, my lord. As I said, I only seek clarification.”

“Clarification,” he repeats.

“What was it about me, Edwina Sharma, that first attracted you?” Edwina asks. She still will not meet his eye but there’s no hesitation in her voice. “Was it something about me or was it simply the role the Queen assigned me?”

Anthony flounders for a brief moment before replying, “Being named Diamond is what first drew me to you. I will not deny that but I was earnest when I said that speaking with you was refreshing, that your comportment and grace outshone every other debutante on the market. The Queen named you Diamond but, Miss Edwina, you are the one who fully embodied the title.”

“Are we not more than our titles?” Edwina asks, looking up at him with pained eyes.”Can we not just be Anthony and Edwina? Must it be that all we are is the future Viscount and Viscountess?”

Anthony’s frowning silence becomes an answer on it’s own.

“If you’ll excuse me, my lord,” Edwina says before standing up and looking anywhere other than at him. “I believe that is all I care to hear for today. Thank you for answering my questions. I have much to think on.”

“Yes, of course,” Anthony replies, standing as well. “As always my door is open should you need anything.”

“A small comfort,” Edwina mutters, low enough that Anthony is sure that she did not intend for him to hear her. Much like she had the other day, Edwina does not wait for his leave to offer a short bob of a curtsy before sweeping out of his study in a blur of blue silk.

#edwina sharma #anthony bridgerton #bridgerton #linette writes #unthinkable indeed #somehow this has turned into the edwant fic i told myself i would not write #that's not to say that this is a shipping edwant fic #cause it's not #it's more along the lines of edwina having her eyes opened a bit earlier than the actual wedding #and i dunno i dunno #i have ideas.....#no beta we die like edmund #ba dum tissssss

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.

everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -

enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.

and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends

#debated making the cause of death in the happy country also MALNUTRITION. MALNUTRITION. might have been a better specific image but these #better illustrate my point #the frog speaks #writing

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

"free palestine," he shouted until his last breath. aaron bushnell, we will never forget you.

as much as bushnell's actions has moved us all, please seek other ways to take actionable measures against the injustices we face in the world. none of us wanted him gone, and the least we can do is prevent another such tragedy by supporting each other in our efforts to enact lasting change.

#aaron bushnell #the boy with his heart on fire #this is in no way intended to glorify his actions #i do not condone self immolation as an act of protest but i cannot deny that it is something that causes an impact #and it has struck a chord within us all #we must not let his death be in vain #free palestine #my art #original

make a cohost account, make a blue skies account, make a pillow fort account, make a artfol account, share your discord, make a back-up account, make another account, make another account, make another account-

#shitpost #pot dog #pot dot #doodles #sites just remain normal challenge impossible #i can barely manage having a tumblr and a twitter account to both post to #the prospect of making more accounts more places just because shit may go down in flames or threaten to do so is exhausting #i will remain here until the ship is at the very bottom of the ocean cause i'm so tired of extending myself for social media efficiency

If you use arab.org like I do please consider taking the extra 30-60 seconds to click on ALL of their causes. Palestine is important but so are the environment, refugees, children, women, and the impoverished across the middle east and it doesn't take away from Palestine to click for multiple causes. The arab world faces a lot of problems and they only get worsened by how western nations have oppressed and attacked them. Clicking is small but it generates something and overtime it does benefit the greater good. It takes all of us clicking as often as possible but we can do it! It's really easy and safe and they have proofs on their site on how they do make an impact and are donating your click money

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

#ask #nature #tornado #sorry if this reply is late #hope the image of walking tornadoes chills you to the bone as much as they do for me #usually i find tornadoes strangely awe inspiring #what with the shear power and destruction they can cause in such a short amount of time #but walking tornadoes are another class all their own #also i made a typo in fujita scale and it’s too late to fix it now
