( this is basically just a very self indulgent list of various fluff, angst, and suggestive themed dialogue sentence starters. )

❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜

❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜

❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜

❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ i thought you’d like some company. ❜ 

❛ clean yourself up. you're getting blood all over the place. ❜

❛ here, give this a try and tell me what you think. ❜

❛ you can kiss me, you know. ❜

❛ come back to bed. ❜

❛ you look good like this. ❜

❛ working together again, it’s just like old times. ❜

❛ how is it you always know what i need, huh? ❜

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜

❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

❛ ah, so you aren’t heartless after all. ❜

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜

❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜ 

❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜

❛ just relax and let me take care of you. ❜

❛ thought you’d be lighter without all that blood. ❜

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜

❛ everything looks so beautiful from up here. ❜

❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜

❛ well? how do i look? ❜

❛ can’t sleep? ❜

❛ do you mind if i smoke? ❜

❛ i’m scared of ending up alone. ❜

❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ how long has it been since you've slept? ❜

❛ you are losing my interest, and that’s very dangerous. ❜

❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜

❛ i’ve never cared for anyone the way i care for you. ❜

❛ i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know. ❜

❛ just a few more stitches and you’ll be as good as new. ❜

❛ i’d say we make a pretty good team. ❜

❛ i want you to forget this ever happened. ❜

❛ i'm here for business — not pleasure. ❜

❛ if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were jealous. ❜

❛ you'd look better down on your knees. ❜

❛ fine, keep acting like you hate me. ❜

❛ kiss me again. ❜

❛ are you asking me out on a date? ❜

❛ just sit there and look pretty and let me handle this. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜ 

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ i was wrong about you. ❜ 

❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜

❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜

❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜

❛ i just wanted to say thank you for protecting me. ❜

❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜

❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ 

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜

the satyr . . . your bloodline is indubitably tied to a satyr. whether you believe one of your direct relatives is a satyr or whether your satyr ancestor has been lost to time, the diluted blood of the wild still beats in you. descendants of satyrs have lost their goatly attributes, but still retain the zest for life and merriment their predecessors coveted. these individuals are bright-eyed and self-indulgent, jubilant people who live in the present and adore socializing and stimulation. their profound optimism is inspirational (if not sometimes misplaced, for rationality and planning ahead is not their strong suit) and they will often push the envelope — their outgoing frankness is not pleasing to all, but they have learned to cultivate a group of friends who love their smile. your nature and talents may illuminate what type of satyr your ancestor was:

panes: passionate, excels in socializing.

silen: witty, excels in academics

tityroi: creative, excels in arts

faun: whimsical, excels in agriculture

long, late night car rides . . . love to you is when your best friend pulls up to your house in the middle of night, and all they ask is where you wanna go, but you don’t have to say anything cause they already know. you don’t need grand gestures of love or big romantic speeches, you just like what's simple and what's easy. as long as you got each other then everything else is just confetti. you like love best when it feels warm, you make a home out of a memory. you're patient and forgiving. as long as you know you love them and they love you, then everything's okay.

BLUE BEETLE By Dan Mora, in Justice League Unlimited (2024) #10

[riskfall]

❝ we're either overwhelmed, or underwhelmed. why can't we just be whelmed? ❞

@bluebeatle, 🩵

[bluebeatle]

❝ i think i signed away all my rights to just being whelmed when i touched the scarab, ❞ joked jaime, leaning back into the couch. it was a nice afternoon at the tower - he'd even call it chill if he weren't terrified it'd jinx something and set the alarms blaring. ❝ where'd that even come from? a laffy taffy? ❞

[karaz0rel]

❛ there's something... on your back, ❜ kara focused her x-ray vision, instantly spotting something glowing beneath jaime’s skin. up to now, all she really knew about the guy was that he had powers, but exactly what those powers were remained a mystery. she didn't know what it was... or what it could do. without thinking, she unleashed a sudden burst of heat vision aimed directly at the scarab.

★ ▎ ░ ··· @bluebeatle, sc.

[bluebeatle]

jaime's phone clicked, snapping yet another picture of the giant hall of justice in front of him. just being there in and of itself was something out of a dream; he'd grown up watching countless heroes walk through the same doors that he'd entered only an hour ago. he smiled as he got that and the 20-something other shots together in a group chat to his family, before he heard @heroums coming up behind him.

he couldn't remember her name, but the woman spoke up before he could ask. ❝ oh yeah, that's jus- ❞ jaime screamed out in pain as the red-hot beam hit khaji-da right in the center, burning right into his spine and radiating out through the rest of his body. before jaime could even process what had happened, khaji enveloped him in his armor. he finally caught up as the end of his right arm turned into a long blade. he was charging right at her. ❝ what the hell?! ❞

[theirbutler]

❝ 𝙼𝙸𝙽𝙳 𝙼𝙴, 𝙹𝙰𝙸𝙼𝙴. i ought to tell your grandmother you're being so reckless. ❞ such things baffled : no matter the scarab and how it preserved him, @bluebeatle could still be hurt. al.fred was NOT amused. no matter that it would be healed, wounds were wounds. he braces a hand upon tender ribs, tsk-ing ( and sounding an awful lot like his grandson - perish the thought ) as he works the bandages. ❝ two broken ribs for your trouble, CONGRATULATIONS. ❞ [ * 𝗦𝗖 : 𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙴𝙿𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶. ]

[bluebeatle]

the first six months after returning to gotham were easier than he'd thought: it took some time to help khaji-da adjust to the threats of the city (not nearly as long as it'd taken jaime himself), but actually suiting up and fighting those threats wasn't nearly as bad after jaime realized just how many people took to the rooftops at night.

what he wasn't prepared for, though, was a giant fucking lizard that dragged him down to the sewers and threw him around like a rag doll. jaime could hardly remember the details of said fight, with khaji's real-time diagnoses ringing in his ears with every blow.

he couldn't go back to his dorm in his state. khaji-da didn't even let him try, having made a beeline for the batcave after making sure that they'd evaded their attacker. he'd stumbled a few feet before seeing alfred, who'd instantly helped him. just like he'd done years before he'd even found the scarab. jaime laid down, willing his suit away to reveal his pajamas littered with holes where the beast had temporarily broken through his armor.

【  we could have eradicated the threat in 1.34 seconds, 】 khaji reminded him, to which jaime could only groan. ❝ we're not killing godzillas either, khaji, ❞ he replied, trying not to flinch too much while alfred worked. ❝ it was crazy, alfred. heading straight for campus. i tried luring it away... i guess i got too close. ❞ he chuckled, before painfully realizing that was a bad idea. ❝ ...there were 4. khaji's just taking longer this time - i think she's giving me attitude. ❞

when ur being mean to me this is who you're being mean to

[heroums]

"this is exactly why we didn't tell you," brenda said with a laugh. "you're already trying to fix a problem you can't solve, jaime." the summer before his last year, kord Industries slipped in under everyone's radar, snapping up property all over el paso including his father's garage. "what matters to them is that you finished school, nothing else."

@bluebeatle, starter call.

[bluebeatle]

jaime had been texting brenda since he'd boarded his first plane back home from gotham, though what had started as excited plans to hang out after dinner had turned into a request for a listening ear after the bombshells that his family had dropped less than an hour before. as soon as they'd found a place to sit (the old park down the street from his house was hit by the construction wave, too - that one stung), he'd started going off, rambling faster than he could make sense of.

. . . wait, was she laughing?

❝ what do you mean, 'we?' you knew? ❞ hands released the curls on his head as he glanced back over to her. brenda kept talking before jaime could get his thought out, though the hurt was plastered right on his face. he'd texted her non-stop, had facetime hangouts almost every week... how long had she known about the auto shop? about his dad? ❝ we don't know that. i could've worked at the shop full-time, or helped dad look over the budget again, found a cheaper parts vendor, something! ❞

jaime stopped himself, trying to take a slow breath before brenda's comment about classes made him scoff it right back out. ❝ yeah, now we're in triple-debt and i'm stuck. not a lot of listings for a pre-lawyer out there. why didn't you tell me? ❞

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠?

home . . . "i wish i could say i am a light that never goes out, but i flicker from time to time." // oh, little one, you have burned for so quietly for so long, haven't you? burnt yourself out trying to give others light? wishing, desperately, that they would notice the way your hands shake or the wildflower bruises under your tired eyes. but they never have, have they? and so, it obviously wasn't bad? right? you had more to give, didn't you? how much could you pour yourself out before they noticed? it is all you've ever known, after all. help, help, help, help. (are you providing it, or begging for it?) but you've given too much, spread yourself too thin, didn't you? you are so heavy, so tired. you have spent your life carrying for others the way you wished someone would care for you. but you're worried, aren't you? that if you can't be what they need, if you can't be the pillar for others to lean on, they'll leave you. what you seek is home, a safe place to rest and be taken care of. and little light, you deserve it. you have earned it. you are worth more than what you can provide for others: you deserve the same care you so freely give out. they will love you all the same, honey. set down the world, and rest that weary heart of yours.
