If he has fallen, he fights on his knees

Seneca (via xmusiings)

             Did you ever want to play with the most bitter Kryptonian who’s ever existed? Introducing Astra In-Ze who totally isn’t dead and sure maybe she tried to take over the world, but who hasn’t in this day and age? Guaranteed to make a problem out of nothing, take full emotional responsibility for the world’s problems, and need constant validation. The original Ride or Die™. No promises that she won’t fall in love with you. It happens pretty often. Like/Reblog if you want to attempt to make friends.

“I’m not human, I don’t have to play by their rules or listen to their expressions,” Astra stated. It was almost playfully stated, but then Astra winced as she pushed herself to sit up. “You can write it off as me being nice. You have been very good to me lately and I’m a little too tired to reward you in any other way.” As she spoke, Astra pulled off her suit, going slowly bit by bit. Eventually she manages to get it down past her waist and then to her hips. Astra doesn’t bother with the rest of it. She appreciated having him there and knew that he would be very unlikely to leave until satisfied that she was alright. At least she wouldn’t have to suffer the consequences of her failures alone. “Get me a wet cloth or something, so I can clean this off of me.” 

“Is that true now?” he commented playfully, knowing otherwise. He nodded, hesitating a bit more, searching features, before departing to fill the request. Non knew better than to take her word for the injuries, although admittedly her playful words had made him chuckle (albeit stiffly, unpracticed in the way of bantering like others among their ranks were prone to). Finding himself listening for her breath, inspiration, exhalation, he paid little attention to the splash of the sink (whatever accommodations might be praised, human plumbing did not live up to the standards, and even for spartan accommodations, he grew annoyed with the idiosyncrasies, prone as he was to failing Kryptonian ones). Non gritted his teeth and took in the wet patch on his uniform, dismissing it briefly to wet the cloth. Very well. He returned to her bedside quickly, passing the cloth to her without comment; surely she did not appreciate being babied further?

Things Heard/Said Working in the Costume Workshop

“If I choke to death here, I want you to put me in my coffin with both my middle fingers up.”

“Did you know that every single thing here is wrong?”

“Just… blood everywhere. I’m talking ev-ry-where.”

“Permission to slam-dunk this into the garbage?”

“No one’s ever cut a finger off in this room. I promise.”

“This ain’t what any god ever intended.”

“What do theater majors even do? Eat glass? Staple things to themselves? Yes.”

“Anyone else hear that siren going off?”

“Let’s go see what they lit on fire now.”

“Oh, good. It’s all ruined.”

“Did someone say polka?”

“Shoulder pads. More of them.”

“We’ve learned an important lesson today, and that lesson is: don’t do that.”

“I want to help you, but I need to know what the problem is first.”

“I hate it. I despise it. I loathe it. I have so many synonyms for how much I don’t like this.”

“It’s difficult, but it’s possible. Probably.”

“You can cry if you have to. No judgement.”

“It’s not that it’s a bad place. It’s just full of dust and fire hazards and also I’m pretty sure it’s haunted.”

“Please do not ever say those words to me again.”

“I would NEVER do that! …Unless I was, like, really mad.”

“You’re lucky I’m morally above grave robbing. By, like, half a step, but still.”

“Nothing personal, but I’m deeply ashamed that I even know you.”

“You’re, like, the closest friend I have, you know? And that’s really fucking sad.”

              A small portion of some of my favourite quotes from classic literature. Feel free to change and adjust them to your needs!

“ I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape. ” “ Don’t cry, I’m sorry to have deceived you so much, but that’s how life is. ” “ I am fearless, and therefore powerful. ” “ Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women? ” “ Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know ” “ Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? ” “ I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it. ” “ Do you know where the wicked go after death? ” “ Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are. ” “ Will you love me in December as you do in May? ” “ Hell is empty and all the devils are here! ” “ Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear. ” “ You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. ” “ I have gone to the forest. ” “ I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why. ” “ One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. ” “ Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes. ” “ If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself. ” “ The truth is rarely pure and never simple. ” “ Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. ” “ Some are born great, others achieve greatness. ” “ I didn’t mean no harm. ” “ My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know? ” “ If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear! ” “ And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good. ” “ I want to ruin you ” “ What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love. ” “ To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths! ” “ If I knew myself, I’d run away. ”

               “  ––––    right. ”

she deflates ,   stance  easing .    stupid to even ask.    stupid to   hope   that maybe   ––– 

              “ i   –––   i wasn’t. ”    SHOULD   have been ,    would have been if she weren’t told she were an unreliable asset ,   too reckless ,   not in the inner circle ,   not important enough to confide in.  “ if i   were ,    she wouldn’t be   ––– ” 

swallows.    saying the words will only jinx it. 

              “ missing.     another summer said they thought  –––   they might’ve   –––   she was in the   glen   around campus ,    and i just thought   ––––    i‘ve    looked    everywhere. ”

        darnnit.  maybe  she  should  think  about  taking  carmilla  up  on  those  offers  of  lying  lessons.  then  it  dawns  on  laura.  her  and  danny  weren’t  exactly  close  during  second  semester,  maybe ---

         “          wait, were you    ?   ... um,  close ? “     tries  for  casual.  fails   miserably.  “ before  things,    ... changed. ”  pretty   lame   for   a   third-degree,  but  then  again,  she   is   out  of  practice  since  the   freshman  year  stunt   with  carm.   “  i  might  know.          but   you’re  not   like,     after   her,   right ?? ”

He just nodded and followed his sister. It would take him a bit to cheer up and mentioning Non did help as Ker-Ze perked up instantly. “Dad? I was planning on flying over to see all of them in a bit. But I called him a few days ago. He is going alright. It’s always so hard to tell if there is something wrong. I think he’s getting kinda old though, he seems tired lately.” Ker shrugged and shoved his hands in his pockets. Then he got a sort of devious look on his face. “Or maybe the Moms are wearing him out.” 

“Well that’s one of the things that parents usually get,” she replied cheekily, eager to brighten his spirits after the platitudes she’d offered. She grimaced at the mental image and playfully whacked him on the shoulder. “Gross, Ker, gross. Although I wouldn’t put it past him--- great, now you’ve ruined my appetite for pancakes.” She grinned, holding open the door and smiling when she caught the eyes of the woman behind the counter. She fumbled for her wallet, assuming he wanted the usual before mouthing off their go-to orders in Cantonese, having read the signage as they passed the storefront. The woman, a bit surprised, nodded and went to note it down, when Zen remembered to add, “to go, please,” and turned back to Ker. “You think they’d know to pace themselves.”
