“i'm not eating bacon grease.”
"You're not eating it, it's melted into the broth," Shaw explained,
"It's not something you taste in terms of flavor on its own, it's more that it elevates the flavors already within the dish, and richens---wait."
Shaw tried to remember what the issue with Erik's diet was. There was something. Diabetic? Vegan? Haha, god no, not that. No it was---
"Erik, you fool, bacon doesn't have gluten in it."

It was bad enough that Kwannon was struggling with her own tongue, so it wasn’t helping to hear a foreign language she had no way for her mind to translate. She bit back a retort; if it was important information, he likely already translated it for her.
“It was not their lack of faith in you that resulted in failure. Of that, I’m sure.” Kwannon looked around at those who’d gathered to try and reassemble the little they had left to put back together what they once had. It was admirable, after such a loss. It was the main reason she’d sought him out to provide any assistance she could. If she could.
“A better question would be what are your expectations for yourself?”

‘ that’s why i’m here, isn’t it? ‘
little hands fidget nervously with the hem of her sweater and she doesn’t look away from the glittering surface of the lake or the target she’s supposed to be focusing on. it’s not fair of her to ask what she does, but she can’t help it. “ promise me it won’t all go to shit. ” she finally looks up at him, eyes wide and doing a poor job of concealing her abject terror at the prospect of using her powers intentionally. “ don’t let me hurt anyone, okay? ”

“ you don’t believe it possible, then? ” comes the question, head tilted to the side as blue eyes carefully examine the man before him. he stares a moment longer than he ought to before gaze flickers back to the chess board in front of them, making a move as if it doesn’t require much thought. “ for peaceful cohabitation? label me an optimist if you’d like, but i believe there’s a chance for things to change for the better. ” perhaps charles is nothing more than an optimist - though, he supposes it’s better than being pessimistic about it all. their life experience differs greatly, to be sure, but charles still sees the best in everyone. if he holds no faith in the ability for change, then what has all of his work been for? “ not everyone is as heartless as you think, erik. ”

@wyslyyzr / ❛ i give you whatever you need and you can’t even give me a minute? ❜
what is it that they say? don’t bite the hand that feeds you? but, the details change. the hand feeds you but they do not discuss what is being fed. at first it is a poison. slowly offered until it’s too late to realize exactly what it is. it puts a hatred inside of you and it feels like you are the only one to see the truth. that’s what makes it worse. you are given a home, you are given a chance, you are told of your legacy and you don’t want it. “ no. ” he answers and there’s something spiteful there. “ it’s not that i can’t, father. it’s that i won’t. ”
“ that is the difference here. ” he sneers after speaking. he cannot help it -- it’s as if the bitter feeling becomes it’s own entity. “ you think you have earned my time? because you have done your duty as an absent father? the minimum does not mean you are forgiven for your transgressions. ” they push and they pull when they are together. it’s quite exhausting but, that never really stops pietro. “ perhaps, when you decide that your family is truly what should be your first priority, i will give you that minute. ” ah. there it is. the source of bitterness. “ you make me ashamed to be your son. ”

@wyslyyzr liked this post & might want to just chop him to bits already.
“Are you sure that I’m not technically a mutant? ‘Cause I know I’ve been told ‘no’ repeatedly but, I mean, I’ve been on mutant teams and guest starred in X-Books before. My kid, she’s a mutant, so that counts for somethin’, right? I’m a sucker for the found family trope, if I could just adopt you as my grandpa and be part of the line-up I think it would really help validate me on an emotional level.”

@wyslyyzr / ❛ i’d rather drop dead. ❜
TO THAT SHE must give a bit of a chuckle. it’s lighthearted, barely makes it past a breath. the dramatics of it all, it’s quite telling. “ and people wonder where your son gets it from. ” she knows exactly what she has implied and does not fear the response it may garner. she knows that it won’t be as harsh as most usually think it to be. erik is a firm man. will bring the fist down if it is needed. a part of her respects that but where respect sits -- fear withers. “ tell me, magneto, what could a poor woman like me do to convince you otherwise. ” her charm sits with a smile on her face, she leans forward where she sits, she resting on the hand she’s perched against the table. “ no SHIELD business. this is merely a personal favor. ”

❝ i am nothing if not honest. ❞
@wyslyyzr // erik.
“...that you are.” he breathed, the exhale broke by the touch of wind scattered into soft laughter. the kiss felt surreal, caught between a wish and its manifestation, in that dreamlike state. he breathed again — inhale this time — looking into the older man's eyes ... not that he could see much else, with this close proximity; one forehead pressing against the other.
a handful of hair curled softly under his fingers. he tried not to move them, tried not to stroke, or caress. like any soft movement could disturb this delicate equilibrium.
like their fights. arguments stretched out in the hallway, rooms, courtyard of the small, humble clinic. sometimes spilling into the streets and the waterfront where stars glinted too seductively on the surface of water.
he took off his shirt and jumped in, breaking the reflection and making more, more lights glistening on his skin. that usually ended the argument. he smiled, until his eyes were the shape of crescent moons eclipsing those blues... he shaved himself so clean you could hardly remember the patches of blond—
old habit. he said. used to be an athlete.
used to. like another time, another life left behind somewhere in the past tense. while he drew the pull-up bar to his chest, smiling at you from over it...
“so...” he spoke (he shouldn't speak... a voice said in the back of his mind). time had to start moving again, from the past tense to present tense to... — what does this mean now? he will draw away, at some point. he will smile his boyish smile. he didn't want to change things that didn't need to be changed...
his hands sliding down. going over the slope of the biceps and forearms. to the wrists. the way he held them. like he could hold you through the storm and the dark even though you knew he hadn't any idea... he didn't know what he was PROMISING, didn't know he was making a promise, and he will be somebody's curse someday — and he was asking you, with those too bright eyes seemingly reflecting back too much light into the night — if you would let him ruin you.
another inhale.
the planet rotated a fraction of a fraction of a degree...
he will recreate the feeling on his lips in his mind a dozen times into the future.
—- so.

Lorra wasn't the best at discussing subjects that were as sensitive as this one. She feared she might be disrespectful, not purposefully of course, but out of ignorance. The only comfort to her heightened anxiety was her commitment to approach the matter with utmost honesty and earnesty. It was important to her that this discussion go well.
"I’ve never practiced... never really got the chance. My pop's didn't let my mom talk to me about that part of herself. Didn’t even know I was Jewish till I found cards from my supposed to be dead maternal grandparents stashed in his dresser drawer. I've never really known how to go about reclaiming that part of me... I feel like my father robbed me of something really important. When I left him behind, I got to embrace being a woman and a mutant, but I didn't know where to start when it came to being Jewish. I've always just figured it was too late for me to reclaim that part of myself."

WHAT SKY ARE YOU?
sunrise
no matter how many times you get knocked down, you always get back up. you defy expectations and stay true to yourself. you are a leader - maybe not in a traditional sense in that others follow you, but you've carved out your own path in life. you are kind but unyielding. you have strong opinions and values. there's a part of you that just wants to make everyone else around you happy, but you know your limits - that you can only share what you have to give. you may seem unassuming to others at first but in time they will watch as you grow into something incredible

@wyslyyzr / [ embrace ]
there is nothing more important in pietro’s life than family. it has been instilled within him from django and marya’s influence and how feverishly they loved the twins. it was there he had learned that family, above all, is everything. losing that was like losing a part of himself. perhaps that’s why he clung to his sister so tightly. if he were to lose wanda as well... it wasn’t even a thought he could fathom. his mind wouldn’t let him. however, the discovery of their true origins and heritage was like a whirlwind. though his parents loved him and his sister, cared for the twins with every last ounce of energy, they weren’t his blood. he would always love them and maybe the revelation would have been different if they were still alive and well given the discovery but -- they’re not.
and because of that, pietro craves for that whole in his soul to be filled. he wants the pieces of him back. the pieces that he’d lost. but, erik isn’t django. he learns this lesson swiftly. it’s cruel and it’s harsh and it makes him so very bitter that all he can do in reaction is be angry. he wants the fatherly touch / wants to be told everything will be alright / wants to be held and loved in the same way that he was when he was but a boy, still ignorant of the cruelties his parents faced. ( both sets of them / blood and water / both scorned by the people who wish ill upon them )
there are moments where he finds the comfort in erik. finds exactly what he craves so badly. the bitterness lays to waste as his father tugs him close, wraps his arms around him. he fights it at first, doesn’t want to accept the touch when it’s usually so much harsher than this. erik is brash and blunt and -- this is nice. he leans into him just a bit, trying to absorb the feeling of safety for once in his adult life. it’s hesitant but pietro finds himself holding onto his father and well... the pieces of him he wanted back so badly aren’t here. they’re gone. he realizes that. but this? this can mold something new. it can try and fit into the shape that has been left behind by the people who raised him but it will never measure up. it is enough, however, to bandage up that hurt for just this one moment. maybe a bit longer if he’s lucky.
it’s silent. they don’t have to say much. it’s probably better if they don’t.
