RESILIENCE: the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or even significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors. it means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences.

❝ how come people break your heart? ❞ -- jessica jones? >>:
LYRIC MEME | ACCEPTING
❝ because people are ASSHOLES? ❞
he takes a seat on her sofa as he replies, sinking into the cushions without a second thought. eyes track across the room, landing on numerous EMPTY bottles that curdle the pit of CONCERN in his stomach; acid he keeps swallowed down itching to burn through skin into open air. she could take care of herself - he knew that better than anyone - but that didn’t stop him WORRYING about her well-being.
head cants to the side, a small smile playing with the corners of his mouth to MASK the seriousness of his next words.
❝ jessica jones, talkin’ about the heavy stuff. it must be what your second bottle? ❞
❝ we’ll learn how to be incomplete ❞
LYRIC MEME | ACCEPTING
❝ incomplete, huh? ❞
eyes SEARCH for answers through the steam rising from the coffee cup cupped between his hands, her words striking a chord that echoes dully in the cavern beneath his ribs. he’s never felt COMPLETE — never truly felt like he belonged in this concrete jungle, nor sitting on HAITIAN soil with waves crashing gently in the distance. he exists in a limbo where his sense of self is torn between two places, battling against the feeling that despite his best efforts, he would always be too FOREIGN for both.
he’d learnt long ago to LIVE with that thought — that didn’t mean it ever went away.
❝ ‘m pretty sure feelin’ complete’s the harder of the two. unless that’s just me ❞
Can you tell us a little bit about Malcolm’s backstory?
“ just leave me alone already. ”
5 WORDS MEME | ACCEPTING
❝ nope. ❞
his tone was RESOLUTE, even in the face of her withering resentment. most days it was like playing with FIRE dealing with jess — one wrong move and you’d burn your fingers off trying to extend a helping hand. her flames were UNPREDICTABLE, but he was learning how to adapt; figuring out when best not to get too close, and when her talk was merely a SMOKE SCREEN to hide the person underneath.
now, with whiskey-tainted breath and one set of unsteady footsteps beside his own, he wasn’t about to let her words turn him AWAY — at least not until they’d walked five minutes more and their apartment building was in sight.
❝ two more blocks then MAYBE i’ll think about it. ❞

“ you can’t change my mind. ”
5 WORDS MEME | ACCEPTING
luke’s words force a SIGH from deep within his chest, one hand running down a face ETCHED with weary concern. he hadn’t MEANT to stumble across this particular bar, housing a figure who’s ABSENCE had been duly noted in the weeks after kilgrave’s death — but now he was here, he wasn’t going to just walk away from answers that MIGHT work at calming the brewing thunderclouds that threatened to SPILL out of alias investigations.
❝ ’m not expecting you to go back to being… whatever it is you were before, and i sure as hell don’t want to know what happened between you to make you react like this, but at LEAST let me tell her you’re okay? ❞
“ exactly, why are you awake? ”

❝ i could ask you the same thing ❞
DEFLECTION wasn’t solely a trademark of jessica jones. malcolm wielded it like a blunt knife slathered in peanut butter, mostly INEFFECTIVE in the face of her perception, but anything was better than voicing the truth — that he’d woken up with a phantom rope CONSTRICTING his airway, those few air-depleted seconds forcing him awake at god knows what hour, with no intention of letting him rest.
he can feel the sweat STICKING his shirt to his back as he turns his head to the source of the question, eyes SQUINTING against the glare of the hallway light. the metal balcony he’s leaning against is cold against his bare arms; he welcomes the sensation against feverish skin, trying to SHAKE off the unpleasant warmth that’s settled prickling at the back of his neck.
❝ what time is it? ❞

okay but watching dd s2 just made me think of malcolm’s comment about heroes/vigilantes being separate out of necessity/definition and now i’m a big ball of emotion about matt murdock and frank castle
“ now there’s no going back. ”
5 WORDS MEME | ACCEPTING
his laugh is a SCRATCH of dry leaves across pavement, pushed forth by the stagnant breeze in his chest. the past he owns is TINGED with purple, a shade that STAINS every recollection with dripping violet hues; her words stir up a LONGING for a time where purple was just a COLOUR and not a series of commands or a face in the shadows, but it passes quickly. his wounds are HEALING, no need to open them up for nostalgia’s sake.
besides, the comment wasn’t aimed at him, but at the world as a whole — one filled with VIGILANTES and costumed heroes, fighting for their own survival as well as the people they vow to PROTECT. it’s as if the very fabric of reality is holding its breath, waiting for the inevitable FALLOUT that’s drawing closer with each ripple of unrest; they lay in the eye of the storm, in the moment of SILENCE that falls upon a forest who’s birds had sung without restraint seconds prior.
his involvement is SECONDARY - tied to the fate of a woman he cannot help but care for, despite her PROTESTATIONS. he’s no longer a STRANGER to the abnormalities of the world around them, has seen UP CLOSE what people with abilities can do when running around unchecked. and yet, if asked to return to a time where he’s UNAWARE of such extraordinary feats — he’d have to REFUSE.
❝ i mean blissful ignorance is OVERRATED, right? ❞
