You don’t get second chances with these people, all right? If you’re not careful, the next thing you know, you’re dead.

[rpmemes-galore]

Go on anon and pretend to be a journalist. Ask my muse the hard-hitting questions. Make them squirm. Make them admit things they don’t want to.

jackson has a ghost rider au now. details to be determined but everything fucking hurts and it’s all @analyticallyminded‘s fault.

[gallixie]

After all this loss, after all this pain, you are still the last one standing. Even when you don’t want to be; especially when you don’t want to be. How much does survival hurt? Does it feel like you are drowning with air in your lungs, does it feel like you’re dying with every diligent beat of your still-living heart? Maybe you’re alive, but this is not what you wanted. And how much does survival cost, my love? How much did you pay to be left standing here, amidst the silence and the dust? Did they even ask before they took it? You are the last one standing, and yet you still end up on your knees. You are the last one living, and yet still you bleed.

things i expected from zoo deleted scenes: pain what i got from zoo deleted scenes: so many good moments between the women on the plane what the fuck, an actual sort-of bonding moment between mitch and jackson where they drank together and like. actually talked about their respective daddy issues (”if you follow the path of your father, eventually you start walking like him” and “we’ve known each other long enough to be honest, right?”) and a really sweet jackson and chloe moment

i’m experiencing all sorts of emotions and will need at least one business day to recover and gif everything

meme from when jackson was on the multi.   /   @heavenwalked  said: ❛ you aren’t obligated to be anyone’s cure. ❜

her words catch him off guard, it shows plainly on his face, dark eyes raising to meet blue as he tightens the bandage at the crook of his arm and rolls down the sleeve of his shirt. briefly, his attention darts to mitch  —  hunched over a microscope, the lines of his face deep set and exhausted as he works away at finding the cure in his newly acquired sample of oz blood  —  just barely visible beyond the maze of equipment. fingertips lift from the hem of his cuff to press at the back of his neck as he exhales slowly, returning his gaze to chloe, who has yet to look away.

“chloe if something… in me —  in my blood can fix this… we have to do it.”

[mirkstrolls]

NICKNAMES :   chris ZODIAC :   capricorn HEIGHT : 5’9′’  TIME :   9:25am FAVOURITE BAND / ARTIST :  this is a far too difficult question i listen to too much for this to be a fair question. for the moment it’s either sleeping at last or judah and the lion. maybe mumford and sons. do you see my problem.  SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD :   glory by dermont kennedy (mostly bc its on jackson’s playlist and i’ve stressed myself out with it) LAST MOVIE I SAW :   i watched lake placid the other day, bc i’m sick and that’s one of my feel good movies. LAST THING I GOOGLED :   usb tethering not working OTHER BLOGS :   @gracefuldisgrace​ (multimuse),  @disordinatedisaster​ (personal), @echowritten​ (musings/shippy stuff/ect.),  @rpxmusings​ / @rpxprompts​  (semi-active and self explanatory) DO I GET ASKS :   yeah every now and again WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS USERNAME :   simple answer is that i mean. while it hurt, jackson’s “defiant pupil” arc was one of my favorites in the show. more complicated “literally-nobody-cares-christiana” answer is that robert oz tried to bring both his children into the shepherd way of thinking. jackson’s the one who didn’t fall into line. to quote the first episode where jackson’s guessing at what defiant pupil even meant “he had a student who wouldn’t listen.”   it was either this or inheritedmadness FOLLOWING : 27 AVERAGE AMOUNT OF SLEEP :   during the week its about 5 hours a night and then when i have days off it’s straight up like 12-15 hours WHAT I’M WEARING :   blue plaid pajama pants and a grey t-shirt DREAM JOB :   i wanna teach ya’ll.  i'm a preschool teacher now but i want to teach history to older kids so bad.  DREAM TRIP :   current dream trip is going to europe to visit some of my friends, which i’ve just hit a milestone in saving for! FAVOURITE FOOD :   no idea. my relationship with food is weird yo. the most i can narrow this down is i tend to really like super vinegar-y food. PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS :   i’ve played flute and piccolo since i was 13, have self taught piano since about then, and played marimba for a few years in indoor percussion. EYE COLOUR :   blue HAIR COLOUR :   i’m naturally a blonde but i’ve just dyed it a dark silver LANGUAGES YOU SPEAK :   english, and though it’s not exactly spoken, american sign langauge. MOST ICONIC SONG :   i refuse to even try to answer this one. RANDOM FACT :   i no longer remotely sound like it, but i’m originally from alaska. DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS AESTHETIC THINGS :  headphones always in. music blaring. messy hair. rain on the windshield of a car. thunder in the distance. the smell of books. laughing at your own jokes. absentminded whistling. the highway at 4am. 

TAGGED BY :   @analyticallyminded TAGGING :   you! if you’re reading this, i tagged you.

he loses track of how long he stares at the phone in his hand, eyes glued to steph’s name, before finally pressing TALK. even as it rings, too loud in the ringing silence of the room, he has no idea what he’ll say  ---  how does he tell her that his brother is gone, dead because jackson couldn’t protect him? (but then again, that’s getting to be a recurring theme in his life, isn’t it?) 

as much as he doesn’t want to leave this in a message, he’s not surprised when it goes to voicemail; steph doesn’t answer her phone most of the time anyway, and if he’s being honest, right now he can’t even remember what timezone she’s in. he doesn’t want to leave it in a message, but she needs to know, she is ---  WAS  ---  just as important to abe as he is was.  ( waswaswaswas abraham in the past tense threatens to crush his ribcage even as he finally speaks. )

“hey, it’s me.” it hangs for a second before he makes his decision. if he doesn’t get it out now, before he falls to pieces, he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to. “there was ---  there was an accident.”  ( ACCIDENT feels like a fundamentally wrong way to describe it, hearing abraham’s final shouts and fight before that awful, awful silence, and the break in his voice betrays that fact. ) he realizes he’s gone too long without saying anything, but he still doesn’t rush what comes next, it sticks too firmly in his throat for him to even try. 

“something’s wrong with the lions, they ---  abe is... he’s gone, steph.”  his voice is shaking and so is he but he continues. “i tried ---  i don’t ---  i’m sorry.”

the door slams open as his arresting officer storms in, rage written all over his face.

in depth sinday meme.    /    no longer accepting

@eyerevived asked :  is your muse noisy in bed? how noisy? what makes them reach that level?

jackson isn’t particularly noisy, just in general. he tends to run more in the vein of quiet swearing or growling.  ( tbh a lot of this has to do with just. being a guy who’s never really lived anywhere with proper sound insulation )  that said, if he’s teased enough or has been away from his partner long enough that can make him a bit more vocal, but never is he especially loud.

[defiiantpupil]

the show :  repeatedly refers to jackson as being trouble and/or a magnet for trouble abe :  if trouble needs a place to stay for the night, it will usually find a room with ray endicott.

the writers of zoo were cowards and in this essay i will ---
