I like taking books places with me even if I don’t read them because there’s a quiet comfort in having them there. In knowing that at any moment I can dive into this other magical space and get lost for awhile.

PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO LET ANYONE CARE ABOUT THEM *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

i don't need your help.

i can handle myself.

everyone leaves.

you can't do this alone.

whatever they did to you back then... i'm sorry. but i'm not like that, and i won't abandon you like they did.

you've got bigger things to deal with.

i've been alone all my life. it's nothing new.

don't come over. i can handle it.

please let me care about you.

would you just stop?

i'm used to this.

i tried to help you.

whatever they said about you, they were wrong.

i'm not worth dying for.

suit yourself. you'll regret it tomorrow.

i'm not putting anyone else's life in harm's way.

people care about you. people want to keep you safe.

i don't want you to get hurt over me.

if you die, it'll be my fault.

i love you. you're worth fighting for.

i'm not gonna just sit here and let you do this by yourself.

i'm not worth it, okay?

i don't want you to die.

leave me alone.

this is nothing new.

thanks but no thanks. i don't need your help.

i can't lose you again!

don't make yourself an island.

don't you understand? i can't lose you!

you're not patching this up alone. let me help.

i'm not used to this. being cared about.

you'll just suffer because of me.

i'm not like the rest. i won't leave you.

everyone leaves. maybe it's better that way.

i can handle it just fine, thanks.

i don't need your advice.

stop pushing me away. it won't work.

this is all i've got left.

i'll get over it!

it's better if i just go alone.

let me protect you.

i'll just keep coming back, you know.

it's easier to make people hate me.

if something happens to you, i'll never forgive myself.

i've already lost so many people.

i can patch this up myself.

you've obviously got more important things to deal with.

everyone i love ends up leaving me one way or another.

what if something happens?

this wasn't supposed to go this way.

stop risking your life for me.

i work better alone.

it's safer to just stay away from me.

eventually you'll see i'm not worth it.

every single time i let someone in, they end up disappointing me.

trust me. i know this for a fact.

just leave me be. i'll figure this out myself.

you should go.

you're all i have left.

people around me are always getting hurt.

it's better if you just leave me here.

i can't trust anyone. not anymore.

why do you keep fighting for me?

you have no idea what this is like.

i know you think i'll leave, but i won't. not now. not ever.

you matter to me. i'll say it a thousand times until you understand.

please just let me take care of you.

i work alone.

that won't work on me.

no one's ever really loved me before.

you need help.

so that's it? you're just gonna push me away again?

what's it gonna take for you to realize i want to be here for you?

i don't want to see you hurt.

you can't just push away everyone who loves you.

you'll never be able to beat this alone.

you expect me to just sit here?

i love you, goddamn it!

you want to be alone? fine. be alone.

i'm not strong enough.

i really thought i could help you. turns out i was wrong.

i wish you would listen to me.

i came all this way to help you, and this is the thanks i get?

you are worthy of love, you know.

how many times do i have to tell you? i'm fine!

stop pushing people away.

it's easier to just make you hate me.

i don't hate you. i could never hate you.

In another universe, we met at the right time. All of this wasn’t so messy. We laugh and hold hands and kiss in that gazebo from that very first night. In another universe, we don’t have to miss each other, and neither one of us has to be sorry.

headcanon.        a follow up to here because i'm still emo about it. the origins of the atom         (         even ray himself         )        have always been in love. every form of it , every level of it , all the meanings of love IMAGINABLE — have come to define himself & & his superhero alter ego. from the very beginning , he learned to love from his mother at the earliest age , a woman filled with kindness & & a melodic spirit only ever brighter because of her ETHEREAL existence. & & he never thought he’d be able to have it all until he met jean , who challenged him in all sorts of ways & & believed in him in a way NO ONE else did … at first. he started his research into micromatter & & matter compression because of his UNENDING compassion for the generic other , a sentiment deeply rooted in someone who’s only ever wanted to belong to a society , a world , that rejected him time & & time again. this kind of love started him on the PATH towards the justice league , towards the multiverse / microverse , towards a FUTURE that he could one day , just maybe , understand & & be understood in return. at first , jean was the love of his life & & he went into the crime-fighting business purely out of an ALTRUISTIC need to help her in her law career , to make sure she succeeded & & returned home to him every night safe & & sound         (          & & convince her to marry him , since she promised she wouldn’t until her career was set        )        oh , how he thought he knew of LOVE.

even so , even though ray started fighting for love , he didn’t give up on everything after jean BETRAYED him & & even after she died. even after watching his friends die in the battles against the evils of the multiverse , after going up against IMPOSSIBLE odds time & & time again , after having to destroy the love of his life in order to save the family he had left. he lost one love , but he was able to keep going because he still had MORE. thought he ran away initially & & tried to escape the agony , the guilt , the trauma — he couldn’t stay away. he came back , because he knew in the deepest parts of himself that there was still love to be had & & love to be given. he continued on with the jla , with other groups of heroes , because he had his FRIENDS , fellow heroes whom he’d fought beside for years , fellow people who understood him for all that he had to offer , not just the husband he could never be.

she was his ORIGINAL purpose , but they were his original DREAM.

you deserve people who listen to you ramble. you deserve people who love it when you’re excited, when you’re happy. you deserve people who check up on you and wish to see you well, people who not only accept you for who you are - but rejoice in it.

i love when tragedies are like “the love was there. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the love was there”
