Text || Cassie & Jamie

Cassie: Slugs are slimy and unless I shower twice a day, I produce a strange goo all over my skin. Its due to all the lab stuff.

Cassie: No, unfortunately. But I've tried my best to identify with flying insects the best I can. Hopefully in my next life, I'll be blessed enough to be a dragonfly.

[After Cassie retrieves her phone]

Cassie: NO.

Cassie: NO.

Cassie: NO.

Cassie: NOT OTHERKIN

Cassie: NO NO NO AND NO AND GET AWAY FROM ME NO

Cassie: SHE HAS CROSSED A LINE. I CANNOT UNTHINK THIS.

Cassie: I need help getting revenge you're either with or against me. Now chose.

Jamie: I am legitimately cackling.

Jamie: Kebira is my favourite.

Jamie: Nono, otherkin is now something I am educated in and you are now forever going to be saved in my phone as Slugkin.

Jamie: It is now forever your nickname and you cannot stop me,

Text || Cassie (??) & Jamie

Cassie: Oh, really? Oh Jamie, that makes me so happy! Thank you!

Cassie: Well, a few really. Antkin, of course. I think that's obvious. I've tried to embrace that part of myself as much as possible. I'm slowly coming to terms with being slugkin as well.

Jamie: You're welcome! 8D

Jamie: Hm, I should have guessed that. What makes you relate to a slug? Just out of curiosity? Also, are you dragonflykin? Is that a thing? Y'know because of the wings.

Text || Cassie (??) & Jamie

Cassie: This is really sensitive for me, actually. I'm not sure I'm ready. But there are people like me.

Cassie: Otherkin.

Cassie: I'm just not ready to talk about this yet. I'm sorry. But please try and educate yourself. You're a good person. Please avoid being ignorant of people like me.

Jamie [unsent]: What the actual fu

Jamie [unsent]: This isn't C

Jamie [unsent]: But this is also fucking hilari

Jamie: So, I 'educated' myself.

Jamie: May I ask what -kin you are?

[detectivemadrox-archive]

Text || Cassie (??) & Jamie

Cassie: I do love animals.

Cassie: Have you heard of otherkin?

Jamie: No...

Jamie: Explain it.

Text || Cassie (??) & Jamie

Cassie: I was at a park earlier and I saw some dogs walking around. And they just have their buttholes out all the time. So I watched and when they poop, the poop just slips out in either clumps or like, wet worms.

Cassie: Its fascinating, Jamie. The buttholes just expand and contract.

Jamie: Gee, I knew you loved animals and all but staring at dogs buttholes. Not even /I'm/ that weird. NOT EVEN CLINT, THE DOG MAN, IS THAT WEIRD.

Jamie [unsent]: Didn't Cassie make a post about her phone being lo

Jamie: If you're so fascinated, you should google it. Make it the homepage of your browser so that you can enjoy the view every time you go on your internet.

[detectivemadrox-archive]

Text || Cassie (??) & Jamie

Cassie: Do you ever just think about how buttholes pucker?

Cassie: Its weird, I know. But there is just something so fascinating about it.

Jamie: Unfortunately, I have no dupe who is an expert in puckering buttholes and I've never thought about it.

Jamie: Why are you thinking about it? -.~

I swear to god

If one more person pinches me for not wearing green, I’m gonna throw a history book in their face. 

There is a reason why I’m wearing blue. 

[detectivemadrox-archive]

Actually, green ribbons and shamrocks have been worn on St Patrick’s Day since the 1680′s. Then an Irish fraternity made it their official colour in approximately 1750 - The Order of the Friendly Brothers of St Patrick. It wasn’t until 1780 that blue was brought in by a different order - The Order of Saint Patrick. Green became a thing again in 1790 during the whole Irish nationalism movements, it’s the official colour of the nation.

So, green is the original colour, dates back even further than the blue. Although, yes, St Patrick is frequently depicted to be wearing blue during 13th Century depictions - but I think that’s because at the time blue was high fashion for the wealthy/it was meant to imply dignity. Fun fact; I like green, I know too much about green plus one of my dupes lived in Ireland for several years. Anyway, it’s not something we celebrate in this country for the true meaning. As we American’s always do, we’ve commercialised it.

Hey Asshole | Barney & Jamie

After the fight was over and they’d arrived back to Unity, Jamie had instantly seized Illyana by the elbow and dragged her away from everyone. There was anger on his face at the stunt she’d pulled. Why the fuck was Barney there with you? He’d asked. Her reply had been simple and nonchalant; I opened a portal and those in Limbo that wished to fight with their Queen came forward. Though, her tone may have been dismissive, he could see it on her face that was a lot more reason behind why Barney would come fight with her than simply because he’d ended up in Limbo and under her rule.

He hadn’t released his hold on her even though he could see the discomfort it caused her. Good. He broke his ever compassionate thoughts for a moment to be vindictive. This girl had his best friend locked in a realm of fire and demons and he couldn’t even begin to imagine what Barney must have endured down there so Illyana could endure a few more seconds of discomfort. He continued to glare down at her before finally releasing her arm with a slight shove. “Take me to him,” he’d demanded and she hadn’t argued. Despite his disapproval, despite his anger, the silence that hung in the air between them when neither of them were speaking was a silent agreement that Jamie wouldn’t admit he’d seen Barney, that he wouldn’t get involved in what Illyana did with Limbo. He could understand ‘what happens in Limbo, stays in Limbo’ as he did the same with Mutant Town. What happened in Mutant Town stayed in Mutant Town. It wasn’t Jamie’s place to tell her to reverse the laws of life and death.

She obeyed, all in silence, blue flames encasing them and before he could blink, hell fire and brimstone filled his line of sight. The smell of sulfur filled his nostrils. Those demons that were nothing more than charcoal limbs and claws were crawling around but there, in the throne room next to what he could only assume was Illyana’s throne was Barney...He had his head, he looked unscathed...

“Barney?” He whispered, a thin film of water coating his eyes as he looked on in disbelief.

Kate & Jamie || F2F || Post Hydra

Kate panicked a little, she’d never seen Jamie look anything but composed and in charge. She’d come to see him as something as a mentor, he was more together than Clint, less together in an intimidating way than Kitty. Long story short, she didn’t want to see him in pain. His dupes were coming back to him, he was taking them back into himself. She’s never seen him take dupes back in before, she wasn’t sure how long it’d take. It wasn’t something Kate knew how to deal with, so she pretended like it wasn’t happening. She could distract him, a little. Plus, humor is absolutely the healthiest coping mechanism. She’s sure Scary Frost would agree.

[hawkeye-numbertwo]

With her hand on her hip she settled into a relaxed pose, easily taking up the cocky stance. She does this a lot, she likes to think she’s good with one liners especially during or after a fight. She tried to look more chilled about the whole thing than she felt. “Alright MC Hammer, no touching.” She agreed. “You did see when I hit that guy in the ass, right? Like, if nobody saw that then it’s such a waste.” She said, her tone was light and easy as if they hadn’t just gone into HYDRA and won and like it hadn’t been a generally traumatic experience all round. She said it like she wasn’t worried about Clint after seeing Barney, like she wasn’t worried about Cassie fighting, like she wasn’t worried about the fact that she’d killed someone before and now she was acting like a spy and this wasn’t supposed to be her life. She was good at acting like that wasn’t happening.

It was never easy. The reabsorption process was never easy and after a large fight it always hurt. Dupes got hurt and instead of letting them die, Jamie always chose to save them, to reabsorb them and take their pain on as his own so that they could live another day. It hurt like hell but he’d survive and he’d have to lie around groaning for however many days on end but at least he saved a life. That’s what the dupes were; they were individual lives. They weren’t him or extensions of him. They were their own people, with their own thoughts and lives. They had as much right to live as Prime did and if he could save them, he was sure as hell going to.

He let out a weak chuckle at Kate’s joke but the pain was still evident on his face as he doubled over, fingers gripping a nearby wall so tight that his knuckles had gone white. “Yeah, I saw,” he breathed out; trying to force himself to smile but his heart wasn’t in it. It faded almost as quickly as it appeared and his head drooped and a low groan passed through his lips as another injured dupe merged with him – the visual of it looking like a blur effect from a movie, two men blurring into one. “Good shot, hit any other hilarious parts of the body?” He asked. It was a feeble and futile attempt to keep himself grounded because another side effect of the reabsorption was all the new memories that suddenly flooded his mind. If he could stay focused on Kate, on her voice…Then maybe he wouldn’t forget what memories were his…Maybe he wouldn’t forget he wasn’t just another dupe…

Rumor has it Barney Barton is alive!

What do you assholes intend to gain from spreading a rumour like Barney’s alive? I wish he was alive but he’s not and these rumours are just going to cause more damage than good. So just stop before you emotionally/mentally hurt someone.

"I will always be with you. Even if you can’t see me."

[heat-storm]

"Nobody, nobody!" Kebira chortled, swatting a hand towards Jamie before slumping into the common areas couch. "Oh wait, shit — nothing,” she corrected, nose scrunching. “Nothing and nobody. Ignore.. okay, ignore eeevvveeeerythiiiing. I lied.” Perfect delivery. “Totally lied.” Perfect delivery. 

[detectivemadrox-archive]

Jamie had to muster all of his self-control to avoid laughing at the state Kebira was in, he'd never seen her break her from her bitchy, hard-ass demeanor and it was quite refreshing to see her smile and hear her life. While he understood the need to relax by...recreational methods, in the middle of the school was not the best place to do it. "Kebira, who?" He asked, crouching in front of her and giving her a stern (but not angry) look.
