just getting dinner in then jumping on @docmohan then back here. the muses is screaming.
I just wanted to make a bit of a tiny psa; in that, there’s many instances where, if I’m shipping with someone, I don’t want to write with or ship with duplicates ( pending ppl using the same fc for multiple characters cause all interpretations are different). I have no interest in writing with the same face claims over and over, it’s not authentic to my brain. Nor is it authentic to what I’m building, canons are different, yes but there can be major associations with how someone plays them. if we’ve discussed it, then I have no issue practicing exclusively, especially with face claim association. for example, I will only ever write with one frank castle and billy russo because I have no desire to write with any others based on dynamics built. Face claim wise, I will not write with any others based Oliver Jackson-cohen face claims or honestly Jensen ackles because they’re associated with characters from partners I like writing with. But if we don’t have any conversation about these things, I won’t know. I’ll still prioritize your character if I’m not writing with any other canons or ocs with their face but I’m not tied to exclusivity unless we talk about it. But this psa is also me saying NO I DO NOT EXPECT THE SAME MANNER OF THINKING FROM OTHERS. and again unless the conversation is there, it’s business as usual.
Did this make any sense cause I feel like an asshole trying to explain my brain and I know I should put the list in my pinned and carrd but anyways.
I want to know what everyone’s muses FYP looks like cause Gloria’s is : bodega cats, 90s nostalgia and dad bod thirst traps…are they also masked… no comment.
❛ we're not going to fight her, she's the devil. and you don't dance with the devil cause you get burned. also in her case, because she has no rhythm and her hands are like little rat claws. ❜
holt & diaz quote starters // @washsins ( this feels like a dean conversation )
how are you holding up ? @pittmade
her gaze fixed on the horizon, where the light filters in too softly for the weight in her chest. she stifles any wryness, any iteration that MIRRORS how he might stand in her position. though to her credit, she isn't standing. legs curled over railings, her hands are still, clasped in her lap like she’s holding something fragile there. a memory, maybe. or the version of herself she used to be before the uniform, before the field kits soaked in blood, before the nights that still wake her up sweating through the sheets.
the question lingers in the air, burning through her with guilt. he asks with that arc of militant sureness and grace, but she hears the worry beneath it. ❛ some nights are louder than others. ❜ she doesn't speak it outright, doesn’t mention the dream that clung to her ribs this morning, or the way she caught herself zoning out between rounds, replaying things she can’t fix. but he knows, he always does. the way he sees her— really sees her and doesn’t flinch, doesn’t try to fix her. JUST STAYS. and as long as she's above ground, she'll do the same for him. new as it was between them, it wasn't by way of soul. a synchronicity extended by the universe to make amends for how much it worked them over.
❛ that young private on leave — ❜ it's coarse on her tongue from how it crawled up between serrated edges in her throat. her hand reached for jack, quietly and without rumination, like a reflex her body had already absorbed into its DNA. ❛ he reminded me of someone, felt like losing them all over again. ❜
her hand doesn’t move. it stays there, over his chest, over the heat of a heart still BEATING, even if it feels like it’s barely holding on. her fingers curl a little, as though she could press through flesh and bone and cradle it in her palm with tenderness. ❛ what am i without my hypocrisy? ❜ her smile is world-weary, a life lived before she ever stepped foot into the emergency department. one she couldn't shake from her bones or broken soul. just the same, she couldn't shake off obligations, duty, her purpose in this world. ❛ i know we do, trust me on that — ❜ a pause to relinquish touch, if only to toy with the pocket of his hoodie. ❛ i'm just asking for a day. the details of which i will be forcing you to relax and in turn i will relax so it's mutually beneficial. ❜
tired eyes flick to the hand on his chest like it's an open wound. the warmth of it hurts and sears his skin, in the way that softness does when you're starving for it. he can't afford to vanish. too many people need him functioning, unflinching. to unravel is not an option, not even at the seams. “ have you ever thought about taking your own advice? ” he offers a small grin before shaking his head. “ people like us. we belong here. ” they couldn't walk away if they wanted to.
ADRIA ARJONA as Madison Figueroa HIT MAN (2024)
❛ i could have been easier on you. ❜ admittance turned over, softly spun by the same bedside manner she'd developed since her FAREWELL TO ARMS. she shrugs gently and twists around in the exam room, prepping her station for sutures. concern knits her brows, a thousand questions hiding, but nothing said. what bar? how far his mouth ran before the fist hit? how many punches he got in?
