remember when i said i was gonna try to not move clara? yeah, i lied. honestly, the feeling on my dash has been thoroughly disgusting and cluttered and after the last blocking spree, now i’m all !!! about doing that again. so, i’ll be moving my kiddo over to a new blog where i’m going to really focus on writing with the people who want to write with me, too. it’s been a struggle, feeling a little left out here and there. during my bout of inactivity (not including what’s posted from the queue for the better part of 2 months), i’ve facilitated a lot of one-way street behavior, which has also affected my ability to string together a single fucking sentence. all that to say, i’m gonna start making the move today and i’m gonna be strict with my following. i’m tired of feeling like the place i usually come to get away from real life stress is more stressful than the shit i’m carrying in rl. anyway, ‘til next time. ✌️

NIKA:
@yosufro said: 《 let me see your arm. hunter…hey, eyes on me…let me see. please? 》
there’s a wild look in her eyes and it makes her barely glance at clara at first, gaze shifting back over her shoulder towards the tree line. attention settles on the other woman, however, watching her hands before looking down at the arm in question. she hadn’t even felt it get scraped. it’s a nasty cut and there’s no telling what sort of spores could have gotten into it. 《 it’s not that deep,》 nika signs back. she offers out the limb in question anyway. it needs to be taken care of and while her instinct is to always push through, she knows better than that. she nearly lost a foot once from her rash behavior. she learned her lesson. free hand lifts to sign again 《 thank you. 》
There was hesitation in her demeanor, the instinct to bolt and leave everything behind. It wasn’t uncommon for the hunters to feel more at home out in the shit than in the confines of their makeshift home. But Clara cared too much about the people she was tasked to protect. Without even realizing it, a subtle smile tugged on the corners of the healer’s mouth as she lowered her eyes and began to roll up Nika’s sleeve. “ You don’t have to do that, ” she whispered, unable to use her hands that were now busy with the hunter’s wound. “ — shut people out, I mean. I only ever wanna help. ”

i did a couple of things today, including but not limited to…
redoing / queuing some old edits since i deleted my aesthetic blog
sobbing over my daughter and how much i miss her
however, to avoid the nagging desire to move clara ( yeah, i’ve been thinking about it. don’t @ me, thanks ), i’m going to be DROPPING A SHIT TON OF THREADS HERE. i don’t LIKE to do it, i don’t enjoy feeling like i’m letting people down. but i’ve made multiple promises to myself since the start of 2021 about how i’m going to survive in the tumblr rpc and despite some bumps in the road along the way, i’m not keen on breaking those promises any time soon. this doesn’t mean i’m not keeping relationship dynamics that have been built — unless, of course, YOU don’t want to — but this is the best thing my brain can come up with to avoid packing up clara’s bags and moving her to a new, fresh space.
this also means i'll be cleaning out my inbox. i know i'm going overboard with this, but if you've ever felt uncomfy on your own blog but dread moving? it's like that. it's exactly that. so i'll be sending my mutuals prompts and such ( maybe even some random ic asks that don't apply to memes ), trying to suss out my next moves for clara but...feel free to ignore them. i mean it when i say there is no pressure here on my end. i'm just trying to jump start my desire to be here.

BECK:
He’s watching Clara carefully as she speaks , head resting against one of his hands- a FINGER resting against his mouth . She’s telling him about recent events in the safe -zone . Beck himself was always coming && going - eternally grateful for his catchups with someone like CLARA who was willing to give him time out of her day to make sure that he was up to speed .
They hadn’t seen each other for a while now . He’d left her house after his BREAK DOWN about his sanity && hadn’t run into her since . It might be assumed that he was AVOIDING her - Beck wouldn’t admit to something like that whether it was true or not . He shifts in the drivers side of the truck , not taking his gaze off of her - but his thoughts travelling elsewhere .
❝ it’s gonna rain . ❞ he says suddenly , throwing an absentminded look outside before clearing his throat && frowning . He can’t tell whether he’s just interrupted her - but he’s sure he’ll find OUT by her response . ❝ Let’s get you to that clinic && back before we’re flooded out of town . ❞
@yosufro· liked the starter call //
❝ Can you see it in my eyes I’ve been distant?
‘Cause I can’t tell if it’s the end or the beginning
I know I haven’t been myself, I’ll admit it
And I put up walls, so if I burned any bridges just know
I’m doing everything i can to try and fix it
But knowing me I’ll probably miss it
These voices get so vicious
Feels like I’m rippin’ stitches❞ Let me be sad // I Prevail
His absence could be felt in every sense of the word. The moment she had sensed Beck slipping through her fingers, all Clara could do was let him go. As much as she wanted to hold onto him, to reassure him that he was not alone, the medic understood her role in all of this. She was a safe haven for him, somewhere he could run when the demons dogging his heels were too much to bear. And if anyone understood the necessity of such a person, it was Clara.
Beck’s hand resting between them was touched with the tender, but calloused pads of her left hand. Pushing him was the last thing she wanted to do, but the contact seemed to snap him out of his own thoughts when he murmured something about rain. A soft, sad smile ghosted over Clara’s lips as she nodded in response. Dark eyes peered through the windshield and she knew he was right.
“ Looks like, yeah. It’d be good for us, though. Been a while since we had a good rain. ” She hated that her chest ached where Beck was concerned, wanting only to alleviate the pressure he felt in his own mind. “ You stickin’ around for a bit? ”

DON’T FORGET THAT RPING IS A HOBBY. BE KIND TO YOURSELF. WE ALL HAVE OFF DAYS. WE ALL HAVE DAYS WHEN WE AREN’T FEELING WELL / UP TO DOING THINGS. GUESS WHAT? THAT’S OKAY. YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE ANYTHING. YOU WANT TO DROP THINGS? GO AHEAD. YOU WANT TO SHORTEN THREADS? DO IT. YOUR COMFORT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. DON’T STRESS OVER REPLIES OR HOW FAST YOUR DO THEM BECAUSE YOUR MUTUALS UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAPPEN. BE KIND TO YOURSELF.

The quiet was enough to unnerve anyone, especially when coming from a quarantine zone. But it had been so long since Clara was free from the restrictions and bullshit of the zones. She had found her home in Jackson, settling in as best as she could. Yet, the nagging sensation of lack of closure with a man she barely knew anymore, forced her to set off in the direction of Boulder, Colorado. What she hadn’t accounted for was how far she’d have to go just to make it to the halfway point. But the universe, despite everything humanity had been through, deemed her worthy enough to acquire aid in her endeavor. Digging into the outer pocket of her pack, she pulled out a couple of strips of deer jerky and handed him one. “ What made you wanna leave? The Fireflies — they’re really good at gettin’ people to fight their battles for ‘em, so I get that bit but . . . what made you leave it behind? ”

CALLIE:
❝ no one doubts your determination. but you need to rest. ❞ / @yosufro
callie knows she’s right. she’s barely done any of that since she got here, but she’s just so focused on trying to do what she can to prove herself and to prove her worth. for years now, she’s wondered what it would be like to leave her father’s sanctuary and be on her own again – to discover what this new world has become and her place in it now. she never belonged in that bunker; she knew it long before she ever stepped inside for the very last time, too — and now, she’s insistence on proving that to everyone here.
she is not her father, she does not stand for the things that her father does. he wanted power, to shelter those around him and make them answer to him. but she wants life — a chance to grow with the people around her, to help as they need, to be a part of something bigger that is allowed to grow. like this.
❝ have you ever felt too tired to rest? ❞ she asks, small but exhausted smile tugging at her lips as she shrugs her shoulders, head falling back against the wall while she slumps in her seat. ❝ it’s just kind of . . . a lot. it’s like, sensory overload. finally being in a new place after years of being in the same dark hole. but i mean it when i say i want to do my part to help here. i can rest later, you know? i — i want to help. it’s the least i can do, after you’ve helped me. ❞
Clara couldn’t help but admire Callie’s veracity. Some of the survivors that passed through El Sanctuario sought safe harbor with no intention of working for it. This place, thanks to Nesto, was indeed every bit the sanctuary that Los Hermanos promised people it would be. But rules were rules and anyone who didn’t like them or refused to abide by them were more than welcome to resume their current state of being outside the hospital’s perimeter.
Callie wasn’t like that at all. Knowing who she was and where she’d come from, most of the people here half-expected her to yearn for a free ride. But Clara saw something different in her, something good. Whether Callie knew it or not, the medic had put in a word for la princesa ( as some of the hermanos called her when they thought no one was listening ) just so she could see how they functioned and what El Sanctuario was like. Turned out, Clara’s investment was paying off.
“ Sure — which is why you should rest now. Shit’s only gonna get harder the longer you put it off. ” She didn’t seem the type to shy away from a full day’s work, but newcomers often took advantage of as much R&R as they could before setting to work in their respective, assigned duties. A wry grin ghosted along Clara’s lips as she shook her head. She liked Callie, respected her, even. But she knew that fighting her on this would get both of them nowhere ( stubbornness — something they had in common ). “ How ‘bout this, then? I’m gonna keep doin’ what I’m doing. You be my right hand. Sometimes I’ll need you to just listen, other times I’ll actually need your hands. For now, you keep your ass in that chair ‘til I tell you. And you can ask me anything you think might help you understand us a bit more. Deal? ”

positivity for yosufro & yomuero : @yosufro & @yomuero are two original characters weaved together within an entirely build up world co-created by rue and melanie, respectively. both characters are compelling, as is the storyline that plays throughout the writing. I always look forward to seeing them on my dash, even if they sometimes steal a piece of my soul :)

MIA:
ONE GROWS ACCUSTOMED TO THE SMELL OF ROT . stomach turning decay of flesh and tissue . way worse than the smell of spoiled milk ( in her honest opinion . ) one dead body was bad enough , but imagine a pile or a group of them . as mia roamed down one isle and the next one as well . she smelled the faintest odor of something rotting . not sure whether the PUNGENT smell was either spoiled milk or something dead . but the odor only grew , and it came from a back room … thankfully she’s seen more than one corpse in her lifetime , THE SMELL NO LONGER BOTHERS HER . the abandoned bodega was a stretch . A LAST RESORT . they’re traversing a small town and just because it seemed abandoned . doesn’t mean danger doesn’t lurk too far behind . however may the potential danger be , they needed to eat and now as scavenger’s of the world . like the vulture that picks the meat from a dry bone . anything was better than being overly cold and starving .
hand rests upon the handle of her gun . a finger near the trigger , JUST IN CASE . the strap to the bag she carries is readjusted onto the other shoulder . it leaves behind red markings and slight indentations into the skin . a TESTAMENT to how long they’ve been searching for supplies . broken glass cracks underneath boots as she walks past old refrigerators . she’s halfway down the isle when she overhears clara from a distance away . head turns with amber hues landing upon a large bag of candy in hand . mia cannot help but laugh quietly , A SOFT GRIN pulls as lips , “ now that is what i call a meal . ” it would last them a day or two , three at most . but it was enough candy that would at least get them through the night and the following morning . mia finds her stride once more and heads to where her companion was . “ i call dibs on the chocolate ! ”
It truly never dawned on Clara that Mia would stick with her this long. Their meeting hadn’t exactly been on the best of terms; though, the beginning of the outbreak held tension beyond anything humanity had faced, to date. Clara was just a medic and Mia was . . . whatever she was. The prominent point was that, she’d been hurt when they met in an abandoned gas station. At that point, Clara didn’t truly understand what it meant to leave someone behind, to turn her back on them. But how far had they come, watching one another’s sixes, and vowing to continue to do so? Sacrifices had to be made, naturally. The stink of unending decay and rot was a permanent fragrance that filled the air. Only out in the wide open spaces of the country could they hope to find reprieve from the muertos. But they still had more city to drudge through.
“ Pfft, you thought you did. Finder gets to pick — and . . . as fate would have it? This bag is mostly chocolate, anyway. ” It felt like forever since either of them were able to smile. Now, looking at Mia, a wave of warmth crashed over Clara as they silently expressed relief, joy, and contentment all in the same expression on each of their faces. Shoving their dinner into her bag, the medic subtly jerked her chin upward at Mia, curiosity in her dark eyes. “ You find anything good over on the other side of the store? Anything at all — even if we’re not sure and we’ve got the room for it, we should salvage what we can. Sun’s gonna set soon. ”
