A Chance to Start Over | Chapter 01
Tumblr media
Pairing: Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) x Female OC (Mary)
Chapter Warnings: Minors DNI 18+ Only Smut.
Length: 859
Read on AO3 | Read on FFN | Next Chapter
Success comes in various ways and different levels, depending on where you are in life.
And if you ask Mark Calaway, the man known publicly as the Undertaker, what success is at this point in his life, it is watching his beautiful wife of nearly a year, Mary, coming into the kitchen from their backyard carrying in a basket full of fresh eggs on one hand and another full of vegetables on the other from their garden out back. 
Had it been ten or fifteen years earlier, he would easily say it’s his career achievements, probably his wealth, and the love of any woman (and sometimes, several women at the same time) who’d give him their generous time to pleasure him. Now all that mattered was this gorgeous woman in front of him. 
Mary smiled at her husband who’s sitting on a stool by the kitchen island, enjoying his morning coffee. She smirked at the look on his face and the growing tent in his dark gray sweatpants, the only clothing he has on him. ‘God, he’s beautiful.’ she thought to herself. 
“Good morning.” She greeted him saccharinely instead as she placed the baskets by the sink. The towering man stood up and walked over his wife to kiss her passionately.
“Have I told you I love you today?” He whispered, his hand already under her shirt, traveling slowly up to her breasts, squeezing one as he nipped lightly on her earlobe, causing her to squirm a bit under him and let out a soft moan. 
“As a matter of fact you did, twice before we left our bed this morning.” She replied, almost breathless as he began rolling her nipple between his thumb and index finger. 
“Well, you might have forgotten darlin’. Let me remind you again.” He whispered and guided his wife to face the island counter, caressing her hips as she leant forward to rest her upper body on the marble top. He let out a gruff moan that made Mary bit her lip to suppress a smile, she knew what’s about to transpire and she’s almost antsy. He wrapped his arms around her waist and bent down to kiss the back of her neck, trailing down her spine. 
Her breath hitched when Mark hooked a finger on the waistband of her sleep shorts and swiftly pulled it down, his other hand frantically pulling down his sweatpants just enough to free his hard and throbbing cock, leaking with pre-cum. He reached around her waist to run a finger through her slit and felt her already wet center. He groaned again as he collected her wetness to drag it back up her nub, circling it with a gentle pressure that had her gasping and moaning in pleasure. 
“Mark.” She whimpered, “I need you inside me, please.” She begged and Mark let out a soft chuckle, kissing her temple as he did. 
“So impatient.” He whispered but pulled back anyway to pump his cock a few times before aligning it to her warm entrance dripping with arousal and slowly pushed his way in, whimpering as he did. Mary closed her eyes; her brows knitted as her husband stretched her deliciously, her mouth falling into a small ‘o’ and whimpered as she felt him bottom out to the hilt, hitting that sweet spot inside of her. 
Mark gripped her hips, sinking his fingers on her tanned skin a little too hard but Mary didn’t mind. Especially when he began to move in slow but hard thrusts, slowly picking up pace, and continued hitting that special place inside her that had her a whining mess in no time.
“Right there, right there!” She almost screamed. “Don’t stop, baby please.” 
“I love it when ya beg.” Mark responded with less spunk as he wanted to as he, too, was almost lost in the sensation of her cunt swallowing his thick and long cock as if it were made to fit and live in there. 
Mark gritted his teeth as he felt himself growing closer, letting out a slightly higher pitched moan than his usual baritone grunts. “I need ya to come for me, baby.” He told her, reaching back around her front to press gentle circles in her nub, helping her tip over to the edge. 
“Fuck…” Mary whined as her back arched and her cunt clamped down on Mark’s cock, causing the huge man to let out a loud grunt, almost a growl, “Jesus…” He whimpered, “Come on, baby.” He urged her as he continued his ministrations to her nub and not long after she was clamping down even harder as she came really hard screaming his name. 
It didn’t take Mark longer than a few more thrusts before he was burying himself deeper inside her, flooding her walls with thick spurts of his cum with a jolt. "Jesus Christ." He hisses, closing his eyes and resting his head on Mary's shoulder. “That’s a good way to start the week,” He grinned, cupping her face to turn her towards his, kissing her passionately. 
“I love you, woman.” He panted against her lips and she smiled, “I love you, too, cowboy.”

bloody hands, hospital kisses
z.david
Tumblr media
summary: ziva gets hurt on a case.
warnings: bullet wound, smooching, so much uncanoness smfh, blood, passing out, violence, shy ziva omg, LONG ASS ONESHOT, angst to fluff ur welcome 🤧❤
reader's pronouns: she/her
"you take left, i got right." y/n murmured, panting as she quickly reloaded her gun. ziva nodded, slowly moving to a position that would make it easier for her to weave past the insane amount of crate between her and their perp.
pivoting her head, ziva made eye contact with y/n and when they both nodded, the bolted away from each other in the direction of the murderer of petty officer Kayleigh James. bullets quickly followed in the agents' trail, but the two were fast.
now safely sheltered roughly ten and a half feet away from the killer and her 'goons,' as tony likes to call them, the killer, Avon Presley, started to talk.
"i think we all know how this will end up," she started. "you are both severely outnumbered and outgunned. it would be wise to simply give up."
in the moment of silence that followed, ziva foumd y/n eyes already on her. silently communicating through the facial expressions, there was a silent agreement about what would happen next. gibbs and mcgee went dark just before the two entered the warehouse, and there was no sign of tony anywhere.
Avon sighed, the sound resonating. "i really dont want to kill you. you both would be great additions to my little... team." the end word was puncuated with the sound of pride, a disgusting sound.
ziva, still looking at y/n, started the countdown with the nodding of her head, and the raise of her finger.
five.
"if you're waiting for me to explain why I killed that petty officer, i'll tell you."
team gibbs already had Avon's motive.
four.
"she owed me. Kayleigh James owed me money.  she was so in debt-"
three.
"that no matter how much money she made in her life, it wouldn't be enough to pay me back."
two.
"so i arranged for her to be executed, as you already know, and we knew that outcome for tha-"
one.
ziva and y/n stood up and immediately took down bodies left and right, dodging between stacks of crates. in her peripherals, y/n saw Avon yank a gun from one of her goons and flee.
two minutes and many body thuds later, y/n and ziva reload and make their way cautiously to find Avon.
opening the steel door, the agents slink out, looking around. there are no more hiding places.
Avon, in all her glory, is standing with ger gun poised in her hands, ready to shoot if necessary.
"put the gun down, Presley!" y/n calls over the rushing wind.
"let me go!" she responds, desperation seeping into her voice.
ziva squints at her target, head low, ready to take the shot beside y/n. "you know that we cannot do that."
Avon's eyes gleam. "then i'll make you."
before the last word reaches the air, Avon pulled the trigger twice.
then ziva hits the ground, hard.
Avon starts to make a run for it, but y/n shoot her in the upper body, most likely hitting the heart, knowing her aim.
throwing herself to the ground beside ziva, y/n gasps. blood bloomed from ziva's thigh and stomach, somehow puncturing the bulletproof vests gibbs was adamant about wearing.
ripping ziva' jacket and vest off, she pulled the short up just enough to see the wound.
"gibbs," ziva wheezes.
"i know, zee, i know," y/n says, frantically pressing into ziva's stomach wound, turning to tend to her thigh.
with her bloody hand, ziva struggles for her phone. with little grip, she presses it into y/n's hand.
pressing gibbs's number, she presses the phone into her ear with her shoulder and takes her pocket knife to cut into ziva' pants in the area around the gunshot
gibbs doesn't answer. cussing quietly, y/n looks for mcgee's number.
he luckily picks up on the first ring.
"where are you?" he asks immediately.
"We're still by the warehouse, ziva's shot, get here. now."
"okay. stay on the line, we're tracking you and sending tony. he'll be there in-" mcgoo continues.
"timmy i need to talk to gibbs." y/n commands when she sees ziva start to writhe on the ground after pressing on her thigh.
"y/n what the status?" gibbs.
"status is, boss, if tony doesn't pull up quickly, ill beat his ass. david's bleeding out, and i'm not sure i can dig out this bullet." y/n snaps.
"get- get it out." ziva gasps, bloody hand grasping y/n's arm.
"hold on ziver. y/n has ya." gibbs says in the most sympathetic tone the team has ever heard. 
"y/n, put the phone down and get those bullets."
"copy that." in a rush, y/n puts the phone down next to ziva, and looks straight into her eyes.
"this is gonna hurt like a bitch, darlin'. bite this." y/n slips the arm of ziva's discarded jacket into her mouth. "i'm gonna get the bullet in your thigh."
slipping her pointer finger and thumb into the bullet hole, ziva let out a muffled scream. closing her eyes and screaming again, she claws at the ground while y/n closes her fingers around the bullet and slowly pulls it out of ziva's body. gagging at the amount of blood pooling on the ground, y/n tosses the bullet on the ground.
"hey hey hey, breathe. you're doing great. breathe, ziva." y/n soothes as best she can.
y/n almost thinks she hears a car screech, but it's too faint to tell for sure.
"l/n." y/n hears from the phone.
bringing it up to her ear, y/n hears mcgee telling her tony should be there soon, if not now.
"tony!" y/n screams, ziva below her was probably delirious with the amount of blood she was loosing, from her stomach and her thigh. "tony please hurry up!" y/n called again. y/n did not like ziva looking like this; pale and bloody and falling unconscious.
all at once, y/n felt tears in her eyes, and she cursed herself for crying when ziva was in more physical pain than y/n was.
left hand pressed against ziva's bloody thigh, she grabbed ziva's hand. "c'mon darlin', you gotta stay awake for me, okay? gotta wait for the ambulance timmy called." or rather the ambulance she hope tim called.
the sound of footsteps broke her out of her train of thought. tony, gibbs, and mcgee all rushed up with a flurry of questions, statements, and arguments.
gibbs eased y/n away from ziva's lower body and led her away, though her eyes were still trained on ziva.
"y/n."
she looked up. "i didn't- boss i-"
"tim saw the footage," gibbs explained, pointing to the security camera, positioned in just the right angle to see everything that went down withing the past ten minutes. "ambulance is on it's way. you did good l/n." gibbs praised, scanning y/n. she had turned to look back at limp-bodied ziva.
gibbs pulled her side into him, and she finally cried. her bloody hands wrapped around gibbs as the reality of what happened hit her. "you did good." he repeated into her ear. "but you really need to tell ziva you're in love with her."
y/n pulled away and looked at her annoyingly red hands. "i dont know what-"
"yes you do." gibbs said with a side eye and a smirk. "lets go." he led y/n to the frint of the warehouse, into the ambulance that arrived, and to the hospital.
ziva was in surgery for hours. after hour one ticked by, y/n was taken home by gibbs to get cleaned up, fed, and then drove her back to the hospital.
"gibbs what do you mean that i'm in love with ziva?" y/n asked quietly.
"you know what that means."
"no i don't." y/n answered.
"i mean, l/n, that she likes you, and you like her." gibbs stated, like everyone knew.
y/n's brows furrowed. "she... likes me? really? are you sure, boss?"
gibbs chuckled, a sound only a select few heard. "yeah, y/n, i'm sure. it physically hurts us to watch you guys frolick around each other. so if i dont see any undying love confessions i'm going to fire you both."
y/n gaped at her boss. "i've never heard you talk that much." gibbs looked at her with a glare as he pulled into the parking lot. "but," she continued, "what do you mean 'us'?"
gibbs stopped the truck, and blinked. "abs, mcgee, dinozzo, ducky, hell even leon said something to me. point is, make a move."
y/n turned the words over in her mind as they entered the building. settling back down in the chair beside ducky and abby, y/n rested her head on abby's shoulder and closed her eyes.
two hours later y/n was woken by ducky. "she's awake my dear."
walking through the hallway to ziva's room was one of the longest hallways y/n ever walked through.
the team crowded into the room, completely disregarding the stares of others.
ziva turned jer head and made eye contact with y/n and she smiled weakly. y/n quickly took the chair right beside ziva.
when everyone got their affections over with, y/n was watching ziva talk to ducky about tips on healing.
"lunch, anyone?" tony asked abruptly. catching gibbs' eye, he motions with his head to y/n who was still all heart eyes over ziva. one by one, the entire team minus y/n left to go pick up food.
ziva looked at y/n and smiled a real smile. "hi."
y/n picked up ziva's hand and kissed her knuckles and laced their fingers. "hi ziva." she replied.
ziva looked into y/n's eyes like she was searching for something, anything. an answer maybe, an apology. an apology for scaring the shit out of y/n, and thanking her for saving her life.
"ziva." y/n asked, suddenly looking away.
the mossad agent exhaled. "yes?"
y/n bit her lip. "look, i know that you almsot died in front of me and whatever, but apparently vance thinks we're dating and gibbs said something so i was, y'know, wondering if, at some point, you'd want to go on a date or something?" it all rushed out in an uncalculated ramble that y/n was not proud of.
"i'd love to date you, y/n. i'd absolutely love to." ziva replied instantly.
y/n's heart genuinely felt like it was flying. "really?"
"yes, really."
y/n beamed and stood up and spun around. "holy shit you just made me so happy!" she laughed, making ziva laugh along with her.
when y/n sat down again, smile still on her face, ziva murmured, "my lips hurt... can you kiss them and make them feel better?" she asked shyly.
"don't have to ask darling." y/n ehispered against the beautiful woman as y/n pressed her lips against ziva's. ziva brought her hands up to tangle her fingers in y/n's hair. y/n pressed her hands into the spaces between ziva's head so she didn't topple onto the woman and hurt her.
at some point though, the team came back.
"finally!" tony shouted, causing y/n to fall into ziva's chest, making him laugh.
pecking ziva' neck y/n stood up and smoothed her hair, guiltily with a large smile. ziva turned her back on her team and bit her swollen lips. looking up at y/n, she smiled gently.
"i think we agreed on twenty dollars, tim." ducky said, cheerful as ever, collecting his bet money.
"i personally am not surprised they bet on us." ziva said to y/n.
"neither am i, honestly." y/n replied.
y/n looked over at gibbs. he smiled at her and shook his head.
"well, now that i have my money, i shall go see to making my favorite agents some food." ducky explained with a wink at ziva and y/n both.
"ducky's my ride. bye ziva! i'll be back tomorrow!" abby said excitedly.
"i guess i'll head home too... use protection.'' tony warned, wagging his finger at y/n.
"tony, ziva's in a hospital bed." she laughed, flipping him the bird.
"alright then, lets go tim. we'llbe outside y/n." gibbs said, ushering the crowd out the door.
turning to ziva with a smile, y/n leaned over to press a kiss to her head, but ziva pulled her collar down to kiss her on the lips.
"i'm going to be doing that so much." ziva sighs, eyes fluttering shut.
"i'll be back soon, darling."
"i'll miss you." ziva teased.
rolling her eyes, y/n walked out of the hospital with a wide smile on her face, despite having to sit in the back.

nice detail that women are now allowed to be captains. Turnabout Intruder established that women were not permitted to be starship captains (which I still think is fucking insane considering how progressive TOS is with feminism specifically) but seeing as we have Saavik taking the Kobayashi Maru, that's clearly been changed

Hearing a trump supporting proud republican “everyone is so triggered all the time” woman lament about how ridiculous it is that men who do not have female reproductive systems are even allowed to make decisions on women’s right to choose and our health was not a thing I expected to hear today but alas here we are.

I’m not reblogging much on this URL anymore - especially regarding social issues - but I just want to get this out there in case any one of my 1k followers is wondering...
I’m pro-choice.
I believe abortion is a necessary procedure sometimes; and often that necessity isn’t just about physical health, but also mental wellbeing & financial security. 
Because of that, it’s up to the person immediately affected to be well informed of the risks (physical, mental & social) to decide if it’s the right course of action for them.
I’m not exactly pro-abortion, though. What I want is for the world to progress to a need for no abortions (just like I want it to progress to a need for no chemotherapy). But the world isn’t there yet, so we have to make do with the limited options that are available. 
First and foremost, I am PRO the LIFE of the person with the uterus (& related organs). Their needs come first.
I feel sad that anyone needs to make that decision for whatever reason. I feel sad that whatever birth control methods they or their partner were using didn’t prevent the pregnancy. 
I feel angry when that situation is forced upon them - through violence, coercion, and medical/government interference.
My faith is Christianity, but I was not brought up with the “abortion is murder” mindset (either at home or in my church). 
However, it was present at my Christian high school. There was a talk from a woman who had supposedly been an “aborted baby”. She said she had a disability because of that. She was there to tell the girls not to have an abortion should they get pregnant too young. 
I had no interest in sex so it wasn’t a factor to me & I wasn’t socially active so I couldn’t be a “rape target”... 
[Sorry, I was brought up with this mindset. I was told it wasn’t the girl’s fault if she was raped, whatever she’s wearing, but was also told not to go to certain places just in case it happened (like, it would be my fault for being there). Because there are sinful non-Christian people who do these horrible things. Also sinful Christian people, but I wasn’t to learn that for a few years.]
Anyway, point is I didn’t pay much attention to her warnings... But I did feel sick that the school thought it was important to have this woman around to talk to the girls at my school, and to basically imply that all abortions are bad. 
The truth is, all abortions are sad. 
And most are necessary (especially the ectopic ones, like WTF are people suggesting those can be saved?).
Some might not be necessary for any of the reasons I’ve given, but I don’t hate anyone for choosing it. I hate that their circumstance put them in that situation. 
There is not enough justice in this world. I feel like there used to be a lot more, but I also recognise that was my middle-class white Australian privilege making it seem that way. 
Not that my life was all that great, but I was definitely sheltered from most of the crap I’ve learned in the last 20 years. It’s been a learning curve to say the least, but one I’m grateful to be on. I just wish I could do more to improve society.

A Chance to Start Over | Chapter 04
Tumblr media
Pairing: Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) x Female OC (Mary)

Length: 1560k
Read on AO3 | Read on FFN | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
Mark was sitting comfortably in his recliner in the den, a beer in hand, while he flipped through the channels. He had got back home from another work trip three days ago, and he barely even moved from his spot. Only getting up to go to the bathroom or get another bottle of Shiner. It would still be another few weeks before he had to go back on the road again, he figured since he basically ruined his second chance at happiness, he’d just drown himself in beer. 
He had time to let his thoughts and feelings sit and simmer. And he could never deny the fact that he loves Mary so much, and regrets saying the things he said. But at the same time, he didn’t want the heartbreak of losing another child, whether from life or its paternity.
Christ. He thought, if only Mary would see it from my eyes.  
Just then, his doorbell rang. Then it rang again, and again. He cursed as he got up, taking long strides to the front door. 
“HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN A DOORBELL IN YOUR GODDAMN LIFE?” He bellowed as he opened the door and was surprised to see Mary, sweating, huffing and red. Probably from the Texan summer heat. 
“What the hell are you doin’ here?”
She pushed her way in, ignoring her ex husband’s question. She walked through where she knew he’d have the air conditioner turned on behind the couch. She stood there and for a few seconds felt relieved by the cool air blowing on her face directly. Mark watched her with amusement and surprise, he cannot deny the fact that she looked good in the yellow sundress that clings to her bump, and hugs her breasts that are so much fuller now. He felt his cock twitch in his jeans. 
He tried to shake the thoughts away, reminding himself why they are in this situation in the first place. Then Mary turned back to look at Mark, and shoved an envelope to his chest. . 
“Please sign the fucking divorce papers.” She begged the towering man who just looked down at her in surprise. “This is the fifteenth time, Mark. Please just sign it. It’s the right one. I made sure they removed the child-support clause.” 
Mark was stunned and absentmindedly clung to the envelope. It still feels so weird to him seeing her pregnant, and she has gotten bigger since he last saw her, and he didn’t understand why he was feeling the way he does, blaming it on the summer heat. He gulped as he scanned her body and saw the quick shift in Mary’s expression, insecurity, he told himself. He knew that look so well, and it only strengthened his case when she pulled her dress further down her bump and straightened her back. 
Her breath suddenly hitched. She winced, gripping the back of the couch, but quickly schooled her expression to look as neutral as possible but Mark caught that. 
“I figured you wanted your lawyer to look at it so I waited but after not hearing from you nor any lawyer on your end—” She stopped mid-sentence to take a few short breaths through her nose as she bit her lower lip. 
“What’s the matter Mark? What do you need me to add or remove from it? I can have my lawyer create a new draft. Do you want the beach house in Florida?” She continued soon after.
Mark realized he hadn’t spoken and shook himself off his daze, “I-I don’t need the beach house.” He began and her brows just furrowed and she took a deep breath, her grip on the back of the couch was turning her knuckles white.
“Then…what…do…you want?” She asked through gritted teeth. 
“I want you back, that’s what I want! But–but this… honey, I–I can’t…” Mark stuttered, gesturing at her bump. 
“So what are you saying?” She glared at him, and Mark couldn’t understand why she was huffing. She must be really mad at me for not signing the divorce papers right away. He thought. 
“I’m saying that we can still make it work, y-you and I can still be happy together… you can–put your baby up for adoption or something then–”
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?”
Mark stepped back and felt like he had shrunk a few feet down. He just realized what he told her and now she’s even madder. With a hand on her bump and a finger poking on his chest, she hissed, “Sign. the. goddamn. papers. NOW!” 
“Now hold on a minute, we never had the chance to talk this out. Technically, we’re still married–” 
“We don’t need to talk about anything about this. We were only married on paper and in the sack, you made it clear when I left. If you’re saying all this now just to get your dick wet, you’re asking the wrong person. Go fuck someone else.”
“Ya think I’d want you back just to fuck you–” 
“It doesn’t matter now, just sign it so it could all be over and I’ll disappear from your life just like she did.” She pushed the envelope further into Mark’s chest and returned to grip the back of the couch trying to even her breathing, one hand still on her bump. 
She knew what she said was too harsh and she saw the hurt etched in his face. 
“Fine!” He snapped and ripped the envelope open, pulling out the documents. He looked around searching for something and then he looked at Mary. “What?” Mary asked in a hiss. 
“Pen?” He asked, matter of factly. “Goddamn it Mark! Bottom drawer of that desk–” She was going to point at the desk by the den when she let out a loud groan of pain. 
"What's wrong? Tryin' fake pains to get me to sign the papers quicker?" He snorts. "Should have led with that--"
“Shut the fuuuuck uuuuuuuppppp.” Mary moaned in pain, forcing her knees to bend slightly to a squat as the pressure grew stronger towards her center. She tightly gripped the back of the couch for support while she gasped for breath. 
“I- fuck-“ The sound of water trickling down the hardwood floor “Oh for fuck’s sake!”
Mark's eyes widen in surprise and, quite frankly, nervousness, as he looks down, swallowing harshly as he realizes Mary's water broke. 
"Well shit, I think your water broke.” Mark stood there wondering what the fuck to do. 
“Yeah, no shit Sherlock.” Mary glared at him, letting out a long breath as the contraction eased. 
“You need to go to the hospital.” 
“You think I don’t know that? Just sign the goddamn papers, Mark and mail it to my lawyer first thing in the morning.” Mary replied, heading for the door brushing past Mark on her way out. 
“What the hell are you doing?” Mark asked in confusion, surely she’s not going to drive herself to the hospital, is she?
Mary turned back to face him from the porch with a scowl, “What the fuck do you think?” 
“Good grief, woman. It’s not safe, you’re in pain. Let me at least drive you.” Mark responded a little irritatedly, grabbing his keys and wallet from the console table in the doorway. 
“No!” Mary held up her hand before Mark could cross the threshold. “I-it’s alright, Mark. Y-you get on with your day. I’m gonna be fine.”
“No, you’re not fine, I–”
“Really, please, I insist. I-I can do it. I know you don’t want—to be in this situation in the first place. I-I can do it.” Mark saw her trying her best to school her expression, but he knew she was in pain. Despite that, Mary still mustered up a smile that was meant to reassure him and his heart just dropped and shattered. 
He could only frown at the fact that she thought that she’s bothering him and he realized just how much he fucked things up with Mary. 
Mary is the type of person who always keeps to herself and does her best to do things on her own, regardless if it’s hard or painful, because she doesn’t want to bother anyone. A rough childhood with a narcissistic mother who tells her that she’s a mistake did that to her, and if Mark felt horrible after realizing just exactly how much he fucked things up with his wife, he can’t imagine her ever forgiving him now. 
But he will never forgive himself if anything were to happen to her and there was something he could do to help it. He watched Mary waddle towards her car, but almost doubled over in pain before she could open the door, holding on to the handle as she felt the baby shifted lower. Mark rushed to her side as she gasped in both panic and pain, pleading with her. “Come on Mary, please. Let me drive you to the hospital. You’re in no shape to do it by yourself. Just–Just think of the–your baby’s safety. Yeah?” Mary was panting slightly as she looked up at Mark’s emerald eyes, and nodded and muttered a pained “O-okay.” 
“Alright, alright. Let me help you in.” Mark guided her towards the passenger side of her car and helped her settle in before running to the driver’s side and wasting no time to drive her to the hospital.

Instinctual Reliance: Barking Dog
Pre-canon, Zachariah Trench & Original Female Character
Maria Erdforth had spent her entire life trying to convince herself that she was normal. She was a simply, hardworking young woman that put her all into everything she did and had good instincts that she followed without question. That's how she ended up graduating the U.S. Marine Corp's Basic Military Training with honors. That was why she had gotten picked out from her graduating class by the recruiter from the mysterious government agency.
The Federal Bureau of Control knew better.

So tired of everything being derailed by racists.
Want to talk about jobs? Blame immigrants.
Want to talk about the state of housing? Blame immigrants.
Want to talk about post-secondary education? Blame immigrants.
Want to talk about healthcare? Blame immigrants.
Want to talk about the state of the economy in general? Blame immigrants.
And it's never about the systems in place that lead to immigration or the how companies exploit young workers from elsewhere in the world (by taking advantage of their inexperience, their lack of support network, taking their money, and so on), it's all about how those dastardly non-whites are trying to screw honest Canadians out of everything by taking advantage of us, and they're personally going after you.
You can be talking about something and even be open to talking about the complex issue that is immigration but it immediately gets taken over by THEY TOOK OUR JERBS! assholes.
It's at the point where as soon as immigrants/immigration comes up, I peace out unless I know the person and can expect them to have a point beyond bigotry and fascism.
Because it's never about our systems, decade(s) of neglect, neoliberalism or conservatism, or anything like that, it's about how selfish, rich, and anti-white brown kids are and things would be perfectly fine if not for them.
#seriously i have heard so many people say the reason why housing is so bad#is because immigrants come from cultures where sharing a room is normal#so that's why it costs $2k to rent a room in a house you share with 4 other adults#it can't possibly be because the lack of social housing or that landlords were given a free pass to do that#or that many of our politicians have 'investment properties' including the federal housing minister#or that students (esp female students) end up being taken advantage of with housing#'cause living with a guy who rapes you for $500/month is feasible while $2k/month is beyond your means#and is preferable to dropping out and being homeless#also all it takes is one tiktok video of an immigrant saying they're taking advantage of something#and the racists will run with it and say *all* immigrants are doing that#e.g. that immigrants are taking food out of our mouths because someone said they go to food banks to get cheap/free food#i'm sure some of it online is psyops#but these sentiments have existed for a long time but now people have no problem saying them to your face#emboldened by american propaganda and pp fearmongering and appealing to xenophobia#also it should be noted since i was a kid it's been warned about how the country's economy couldn't be sustained without another baby boom#once boomers and older gen xers retired#immigration literally keeps our economy from utterly collapsing because we don't have enough workers to replace retiring ones#or enough workers to pay pensioners#it is a massive massive complex issue that goes back decades#and sure the federal government is complicit in all of it#but again for decades and that includes the conservatives who supposedly would fix everything if only we voted them in again#i'm far from a fan of trudeau but this started well before him#and you can't even criticize him without it being derailed to be about xenophobia or being assumed to be a fellow bigot#hell i avoid criticizing singh because the moment you do you're assumed to be racist or a fellow racist#canada is a fucking racist and xenophobic country and has always been so#stop assuming we're not or that we're no where near as bad as america or uk tories or anything like that#if you can believe that the british queen wasn't a nice old lady who never did anything wrong and the british monarchy is perfectly benign#you can believe that canada's pr and propaganda is wrong and it's not a good country#and maybe listen to canadians about this instead of what media tells you canada is like and how canadians are

The United States had a 140 year period before a single woman was elected in a federal office.
I think it's only fair that we have 140 years of no men in government and see how things go
