“You. Need. A door.”
Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting
Agnes Montague is sitting in the coffee shop again. Same table, same black coffee, same routine. She wraps her hand around the mug, feeling the heat bloom under her palm. It’s better than burning people, than having them as a sacrifice to prove her warmth. She’s grown out of those fits of anger, and now she sees herself as more of her destiny than the flame borne from it. That’s what it is to be the light in the lightless flame. She wants to be kind but she can’t. She’s a creation with a purpose, and that purpose isn’t kindness.
Everyone else in this shop is human. Completely human. They were born in hospitals, probably, and not within someone else’s – her mother’s – sacrificial funeral pyre. Everyone else in this shop has friends. Everyone else in this shop can find their own purpose. And Agnes just heats her drink, the steam barely bringing up the temperature of her burning skin. She’s the sunlight, just bringing heat down on everyone with her touch. She can burn, but she is essential. She’s not sure who told her that. Something that has to be wrong within her tells her that it was her mother.

just a sad double drabble of me thinking about agnes too hard!! she thinks about her mom regularly imo,, i consider her thinking about her mom's (voluntary) sacrifice as justification that she has to follow her destiny :((((
Logically I know that in canon Jon does in fact have an office chair (don't ask me how I have singled out this piece of information). However, in canon almost all of my babies are dead so I will continue to add my head canon that Jon hates office chairs (wheels on chairs! they encourage unsafe behavior in a workplace environment!) to every single Jon featuring fic I write til the day I die.
reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead
so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though
why is ao3 is blocked on the hospital wifi????
i love your michael lives au! could i perhaps ask how you imagine michael and sasha’s dynamic?
Yeah these two actually become HUGE besties, probably one of Michael’s only other friends at the institute. Once Sasha joins the Archives team, he does his best to look after her, both because he believes she should have been the next archivist, and that she’s one of the few people around he’s comfortable with. He tries not to hide TOO MUCH from her, and knowingly leaves hints and clues that he knows she’ll pick up in because she’s that sharp.
Bruce can understand everything perfectly fine on his own but he brought Tim
to help with the himbo Brucie Wayne portrayal
to support the noble cause of pissing off Lex
Bruce and Tim: *sitting in a LexCorp meeting*
Lex: Alright everybody, thanks for jumping on this all hands.
Lex: *sees Tim*
Lex: Who is this?
Bruce: Oh, this is my corporate translator. He's here to translate all the corporate jargon into words that I can actually understand.
Lex: Uhh alright. I'm gonna have to align with HR to see if this is—
Bruce, to Tim: What's he saying?
Tim: He's saying he's upset by my presence.
Lex: I'm not upset, okay? I'm simply processing this information into a more digestible way.
Tim: Oh yeah, he's really upset.
Lex: Okay, let's just move forward with the meeting, shall we? So Q1 is in the books and we had a very strong showing. Now, there are certainly some gaps within our processes that we're working strategically in order to align that should help us bridge those gaps in a really efficient way.
Bruce: Translator?
Tim: Q1 wasn't good and management is very upset about it.
Lex: That's not what I said, okay? There are certainly some gaps, but management is working lockstep in order to come up with strategic processes in order to alleviate these areas of deficiency.
Tim: They're planning layoffs.
Lex: No. No. That— I'm not saying that, okay? We're just developing ways to become a much leaner organization.
Tim: It's gonna be twenty-five percent of the organization.
Lex: No!
