"C'mon Karyme, let's go have some fun-!" Violet says with a laugh.
Karyme smirks, shaking her head. "..like what.?"
"I know a cool place, with no people.. and plenty of drinks." She says, an arm around Karyme.
Karyme laughs. "Alright.. alright. Let's go."
Violet drags Karyme away, and soon they end up on a roof, smoking.
Violet smiles. "Nothing better than this.."
Karyme nods, blowing some smoke. "..do you think we're bad people.?"
Violet looks at her. "Bad how.?"
Karyme lets her legs dangle off the edge of the roof. "You know.. addiction makes bad people.."
"And who said that? Probably the people who have the picture-perfect lives.." Violet replies, rolling her eyes.
"Guess so.." Karyme mumbles.
"What's up with you recently anyways.? Haven't had any hero-ly duties taking up all your time.?" Violet asks with a laugh.
"No, actually. I quit that shit." Karyme replies, taking a drink of alcohol.
"Atta girl! I knew you would come around.!" Violet cheers.
"You were right.. bunch of bullshit playing hero.." Karyme mumbles.
"And I guess little miss Krystal didn't take it well?" Violet asks.
"Not at all. She actually unfriended me.. called me a traitor and some other bullshit.." Karyme says.
"Well fuck her.. she doesn't know shit about you.." Violet replies.
There's a peaceful silence as they both sit there.
"..what about Kaiden.?" Violet asks. "You haven't said a thing about him.."
Karyme looks at her. "That's over with.."
Violet raises an eyebrow. "Really? The hell happened.?"
"..don't wanna talk about it.." Karyme mumbles. "Let's just- forget it, yeah?"
Violet nods understandingly. "So..what are your plans now.?"
"I'm moving." Karyme replies. "Going to Armoni.. heard it's beautiful this time of year.."
Violet hums. "I've heard the same.. I'm sure you'll like it there.."
"Too bad I won't actually get to see it.." Karyme mumbles.
"What.? Now you're just confusing me." Violet says with her arms crossed.
"I'm moving there.. but I'm not staying there." Karyme says.
"That still doesn't make sense." Violet mumbles.
"..can I trust you with this.?" Karyme whispers.
"Of course you can, we've been friends for 4 years." Violet responds.
"Once I get to Armoni.. I'm going to kill myself.." Karyme whispers with a smile. "That way.. no one will ever know.."
Violet raises an eyebrow. "Really now.? That's.. smart.."
Karyme smiles. "I know.. it's perfect.. the move is just a cover up.. once I get there.. I'm free.."
Violet nods. "Remember how we met.?"
Karyme laughs. "How could I forget.? You watched me try to kill myself."
Violet laughs as well. "..that's quite a story isn't it..?"
They both keep laughing together, clinking their bottles of alcohol together. They both lay down, staring up at the sky. Violet turns her head to look at Karyme, who's immersed in the night sky.
"Am I the only one who knows?" She asks.
Karyme turns her head, smiling at her. "Yup. You're the only one who wouldn't try to stop me.. you understand better than anyone.."
Violet smiles back. "Not even your family.?"
Karyme shakes her head. "My family has been dead for years.. there's no one to tell.."
"What about Zaaron.?"
"No.. he has enough going on.."
"Carlos.?"
"Busy with his little girlfriend.."
"Your sister.?"
Karyme frowns. "She left almost 3 years ago.. she doesn't matter to me.."
Violet nods. "That makes sense.. she left you with those monsters people expect you to call your parents.."
Karyme sighs. "Sometimes I wonder why they had me.. It seems like all I ever do is make them mad.."
"Maybe they didn't want another kid.." Violet says with a shrug.
"Yeah you're probably right.." Karyme mumbles.
They both return to silence, until Karyme's phone rings.
Karyme picks it up, staring at it with a frown.
"Who is it.?" Violet asks, scooching over to her to get a good look at the caller ID.
"My fuckin' sister.." Karyme mumbles.
"Are you gonna answer.?" Violet asks.
"Fuck no.." Karyme says, declining the call.
She grabs another bottle, taking a long drink out of it. She hands it to Violet, who does the same.
"Wonder why she called.." Violet mumbles.
"Probably to pity me.. that's all she's fuckin' good at.." Karyme replies.
She turns to Violet. "Hey Violet..?"
Violet looks over to her. 'Yeah.?"
"Promise you'll never pity me.. even when I'm dead.." Karyme says slowly.
Violet nods. "Pinky promise."
They both hold out their pinkies, locking them with a silent nod.
They go back to looking at the sky.
"When I die.." Karyme starts. "I'll be up there.."
"Like a star.?" Violet replies.
"..no.." She says. "Like a supernova.."
Violet smiles. "Fuckin' weirdo.."
Karyme laughs. "Hey.. I'll be dead soon.. be nice.." She says as she playfully punches Violet in the shoulder.
"Also.." Karyme says. "When I'm dead.. you can have my moon hair clip.."
"I already have it though.?" Violet says, hand reaching up to brush the cold clip.
"I know.." Karyme responds. "But it's still mine.. and you never gave it back.."
Violet smiles. "So.. I can keep it for real now.?"
"Duh idiot.." Karyme says. "I don't have any use for it.."
Violet smiles. "That's why you're my best friend.."
Karyme smiles back. "I know.."
As the night goes on, they talk away..
And when the sun rises, Violet is alone.
__
"You know Karyme.. I regret so much.." Violet mumbles.
"But.. this is the thing I regret the most.."
She looks down at Karyme's still figure in the hospital bed. Tubes and wires in her.. keeping her alive.
"I could've stopped this.." She continues. "If I wasn't drunk.. I could've saved you.."
The beeping of the heart monitor is the only reponse.
"Instead.. I let you. I.. encouraged you.." She whispers.
"I would rather you live and hate me.. than die and like me for letting you.." She says.
She looks away from Karyme, hand still holding hers.
"I'm sorry.. I promised not to pity you.. but it hurts.." She says, tears filling her eyes.
"Kaiden's been.. amazing. He's always here with you.. taking care of everything.. he really loves you, you know.?" She replies with a smile, wiping away her tears.
She closes her eyes, letting the silence calm her.
"I have to go.. it's late.." She mumbles, standing up.
"Just.. hang on, okay? Don't let go.." She whispers, finally letting go of her limp hand.
"Stay a star.. don't become a supernova.."

Penny stardewvalley makes me so sad because she's SO sensitive to, like, basically everything you tell her (telling her that you can't stand children while two children are nearby is a pretty lousy move but -1500 friendship?? being a jerk to other characters' faces typically loses you about 50 points, and if you choose the option labeled "creepy" and ask Leah for a kiss in her 2 heart event she physically hits you and kicks you out of her house but that's only -100 friendship…) and so if you want to befriend her it's a whole lot of lying and tiptoeing around her feelings (2 hearts: George was right but saying that makes her feel bad. 6 hearts: her food sucks but even if you try to be polite about it she feels like a failure; only a bald-faced lie pleases her. 8 hearts: saying you don't want to be tied down with a family loses you a little bit of friendship and she's only happy if you say you want kids) and I can't help but think she's a product of her environment. She lives in a trailer with only her mother, who gets drunk every night and has something of a temper. Penny's like a skittish rescue animal who won’t even come out from hiding under something unless you leave her lots of treats

I think we should torture Dick by coming up with an AU where Tim's the one to get dealt the faked death/undercover in spyral thing instead. Like, congratulations man! You're the last one standing. (Well, except for Jason I suppose but Jason's probably causing problems on purpose.) You've won an even bigger than usual guilt complex. No, you can't opt out.

On Daenerys, Colonisation and Race Discourse within the ASOIAF Fandom
This has been on my mind for a good long while and honestly, as much as I would like to leave discourse in the pits, it has been bugging me intermittently over the past few weeks.
Far too many of you get on here and call people who like the fictional dragon-riding family, neo-Nazis and that sentiment is so prevalent, that white people feel comfortable telling me a black woman that I am a neo-Nazi for rooting for Daenerys Targaryen. I am upholding neo-Nazi power fantasies for wanting to see a little girl live at the end of a story. I am a neo-Nazi for wanting to see the rape survivor have the family she aches for and children with the man (or men) she loves.
Then, those same people go on spiels about how the systemic erasure of those who sing the song of the earth and other old races is not colonialism. That their removal from their home is not displacement but an agreement between two equal parties. The fact that the only place where those who sing the song of the earth exist in the present timeline is north of the wall, surrounded by the bones of their dead, is not a travesty. That the expulsion of the old races from their home isn't that bad and should not be condemned. 
Instead, people argue, completely seriously, that the harm that the First Men and Andals have caused is centuries in the past, so essentially the slate has been wiped clean. The logical leaps that are required to arrive at such a boneheaded conclusion are truly mind-boggling, and those who make such arguments are not good people. 
I am unsure how one could read those books and come away with the impression that the old races do not mourn the loss of their home. I am unsure how one could read The Last of the Giants[1] and Ygritte’s reaction to both the song and Jon’s dismissal of the ethnic cleansing of the giants then believe that the old races and the free folk have moved past their displacement. 
In Westeros, from the Wall to the broken arm of Dorne, they all speak one language despite the fact they are all different ethnicities and they all landed on the shores at different times. That is not the case in Essos, we have been introduced to at least six languages and in A Dance with Dragons, Tyrion notes that the Valyrian spoken in the Free Cities has evolved into nine distinct dialects, and they are well on their way to becoming different languages.
How would a continent as large and diverse as Westeros maintain its hegemony over the people if not for forced assimilation, discriminatory practices and violence? The brutal repression required to keep one house in power for thousands of years is nothing to sniff at. The suppression required to keep the vast majority of Westeros worshipping one (or seven) gods. The systems in place ensure that language does not grow or evolve amongst the highborns at least.
Centuries before Aegon's Landing the maesters were the definitive educational authority and even now centuries after, nothing has changed. The grey rats still decide who learns what and when they learn it. There's one in every highborn home, all correspondence passes through them, they are the healers and the councillors.
The circular logic gets even more blockheaded when you factor in the fact that Daenerys is far from the only white character in the books. She is not the only character who wishes for home. She is not the only character who draws strength from her ancestors, her bloodline and her magical creatures. 
Cersei draws strength from her family’s iconography, and the Stark children (Jon included) all draw strength from their direwolves, their home and their blood. Sansa, Arya and Bran wish to return home and their home was built on the indiscriminate murder and displacement of the indigenous peoples. Their home is built on centuries of rape, murder, exclusionary practices and sexual slavery. 
However, if we give the nonsensical argument that time erases crimes air; the Starks, Lannisters and Tullys are warring to settle personal grievances in the present timeline. As a consequence of that war, thousands (a modest guesstimate) of small folk, minor nobles and even some major ones have been raped, tortured, maimed and killed.
Despite all this, no one writes meta after meta about how Sansa and her siblings must surely die for justice to be had for those who sing the song of the earth, the free folk, the giants and all the old races that fled beyond the wall.  
People write meta about Cersei and how she must die, but those are typically more misogynistic nature. They typically argue that she must die not for the “crime” of being Lannister, but for the “crime” of being Cersei and “ruining” Jamie. 
I would not mind criticisms of Dany and her peace-focused approach to ending slavery because the approach is naïve and she gives the slavers far too much ground. However, she is learning, growing and self-critiquing. At the end of A Dance with Dragons, she has decided to embrace fire and blood, her knight is breaking the false peace which is a necessary step forward.
What I find offensive is people saying that she should have planned better before she abolished slavery. And that the death, violence, and sickness that arises from her quest to eradicate slavery is somehow worse than the death, violence, and sickness that already existed in Slaver’s Bay. 
This argument often downplays the horrific conditions and suffering that exist(ed) under the slave system in Slaver's Bay. Such arguments are often in poor taste and prioritise the lives and comforts of the slavers more than the people they have enslaved.
I would not mind criticisms of Dany if people applied that same critique even-handedly. The same people who believe that Jon and Bran have done much to rectify the evil that their ancestors perpetuated believe that Dany has not done anything to right the wrongs of her ethnic kin. They praise them for the non-existent steps that they have taken, but in the same breath, they condemn Dany for not being able to immediately end the plague that is slavery. 
It is perfectly alright to not like fictional characters, no law requires you to like certain fictional characters over others. However, what is not right is making broad accusations about those who do, it is beyond the pale. It is disgusting, and annoying, and trivialises real-world issues to score cheap points against fictional characters.
Equating the survival of a teenage survivor to the restoration of a fascist house or neo-Nazi power fantasy when such designations do not exist in the world of ice and fire is strange behaviour. Saying that the teenage survivor will eventually be manipulated and raped (again) before ending up dead on her manipulator's blade is also strange behaviour. 
Dismissing the horrors of colonialism, especially when the text shows you that the involved parties are still affected by it, is not normal and often veers into real-world imperialism apologia. While criticism and analysis of characters and their actions are valid and even encouraged, it is essential that we do not resort to sweeping generalisations about other people and that we keep criticisms of characters grounded in the text. 
[1]  
Ooooooh, I am the last of the giants, my people are gone from the earth.
The last of the great mountain giants, who ruled all the world at my birth
Oh, the smallfolk have stolen my forests, they’ve stolen my rivers and hills.
And they’ve built a great wall through my valleys, and fished all the fish from my rills
In stone halls they burn their great fires, in stone halls they forge their sharp spears.
Whilst I walk alone in the mountains, with no true companion but tears.
They hunt me with dogs in the daylight, they hunt me with torches by night.
For these men who are small can never stand tall, whilst giants still walk in the light.
Oooooooh, I am the LAST of the giants, so learn well the words of my song.
For when I am gone the singing will fade, and the silence shall last long and long.

It's been a really busy week so I'm just going to indulge myself and talk about exactly what I'd love to be doing rn with CEO!Bucky
Tumblr media
When I imagine CEO scenarios though, I don't think of the reader as his assistant or an intern. Maybe the CEO and his comms director. Someone he considers an equal because I think that's a hell of a lot more sexy and still has a power imbalance 🥵
He knows you're incredibly capable. He knows you've got more drive than anyone else in the company. He knows you've spent years pushing yourself to get to where you are and you're determined to keep climbing.
But at the same time; it's nice to get a break from that too. Sometimes it's nice to just be tossed around and given orders. You get to switch your brain off and give in to whatever feels good.
And that's how you found your knees hitting the plush grey carpet of the CEO's office on a Friday afternoon.
"Good girl. So fucking pretty." Bucky's hand on your chin directs your face upwards. He's continuing the task you started a few minutes prior; stroking his own cock at a leisurely place and enjoying the sight of you in front of him with your blouse missing the top few buttons.
There's nothing else you'd rather be doing right now. There's no other release that lets you unwind like this. You don't have to think about anything other than the glossy bead of precum gathering on the tip of your boss' dick and the way that even the sight of it makes your mouth water.
His other hand is still holding your chin but you don't want to just watch when you can do so much more than that. You lean over, taking the head of his cock in your mouth, flicking your tongue over the very tip to lap up the precum you've been craving.
Your hand replaces his, jerking his length slowly with a measured pressure while your tongue swirls, keenly licking away any fresh evidence of his arousal.
"Fuck." He groans, melting into your eagerness. He's had a long week too. You know he needs this as much as you do but he's just as respectful as ever, conscious not to press himself into your waiting mouth.
"I bet you're wet already, aren't you? You look like such a sweetheart. No one would ever guess that you get off on sucking my cock. I bet everyone thinks you're so innocent but they don't get to feel the way you drip down your own thighs after you swallow my cum." You imagine that mouth of his has got him in plenty of trouble over the years but fuck, you love it. You swear he could probably get you off just by talking to you.
You hum happily, taking as much of his length into your mouth as you can manage, wincing slightly the first time his tip nudges the back of your throat. Your flat tongue rolls against the underside of his length, your hand cupping his balls and you feel his palm settle on the back of his head.
"You're so fucking keen." His blunt fingernails scratch gently against the nape of your neck and it feels like such a tender gesture. You get to be unashamed of how keen you are with him. There's no embarrassment or reservation. You don't have to hold yourself back to save face and it's refreshing to want someone this much.
You head bobs on his length, your lips forming a perfect tight ring and every now and again, you're rewarded with the sharpness of some fresh precum smeared onto your tongue.
"You should slow down, sweetheart. I don't want to finish yet." His voice is a little strained and it's beautiful. Now you're torn though. You don't want this to end but you're desperate to feel hot ropes of his cum splash over your waiting tongue and across your face.
Somewhat selfishly, you do as you're told. Your body reminds you of your own desperation and you don't want to ruin your chances of getting bent over that desk.
