โธย ย @divin1tyย ย โถย ย โย "You're applying logic to a situation where it isn't wanted." / r96 verse for alex !ย โย ย โฑย ย (ย supernaturalย , accepting .ย )
ย ย ย ย ย Alexโs brow furrows in a mix of frustration and confusion. ย โWhat do you mean?โ ย He is a smart kid, or at least so many people have told him that he has no choice but to believe them. ย What else did the Brigades keep him around for, if not for his ability to figure out complex systems?
ย ย ย ย ย โI think everything has some logic behind it.โ ย He steels his gaze, but his fingers tremble. ย He holds them close to his sides, hoping it will go unnoticed.
ย ย ย ย ย โThereโs no such thing as random chance, thatโs what I think.โ ย He has to, for his own sake. ย It is why he is out here, looking for answers, trying to make sense of tragedy. ย โIf it seems like there is, you just havenโt found the reason yet.โ
๐ฆ๐ก๐จ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ , ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ - alex was one of those where he was so intelligent it made him naive ( it was also a line of thinking that made it much easier to dismiss alex in her own head ) it was much harder to have a conversation with him than other teens his age for a multitude of reasons . while the answers to a problem were subjectively correct ; applying logic made it all the more complicated , because why such a thing be so in the first place ? sometimes things just are .
coraline wants to say he reminds her of herself , too smart for his own good with eyes too wide , though at his age she was much more jaded , a guard that had only strengthened over the years . SURVIVAL WAS KEY , STAY ALIVE - PROTECT THE VERY FEW SHE LOVED , maybe that was why she was so quick to brush alex off . it was easier , safer ; THERE WAS SO LITTLE SAFETY IN PETRIA , meaning the quiet she could cling to was gripped with both hands until fingernails peeled apart at their beds . HER ART PROMOTED INDIVIDUALISM , yet it was something she failed to partake in the moment she stepped foot back into the country ; hesitant to apply &. encourage it from her own mouth .
the future of petria relied on the youth &. they needed to be encouraged . to seek , find answers &. create the solutions , a piece of her knew this , yet the country had eyes &. ears everywhere , suddenly having the urge to look over shoulder to make sure it was just her &. alex ; the security wouldn't appear , overhear the conversation ; HERESY IS A PUNISHABLE OFFENCE , CORALINE HAD LIVED OUT THE PUNISHMENTS ENOUGH TO KNOW SHE DOESN'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN .
โโโ โ maybe โ though she doesn't sound convinced , even so she couldn't help but humour him โ but i also know reasons don't always exist because the problem at hand hardly understands why it's there to begin with . WHICH IS WHY YOU SHOULD GO HOME , ALEX . sometimes things just are &. there's no making sense of that , no point wasting your time on it . โ
โธย ย @divin1tyย ย โถย ย โย advice . . . from you ? you're the one who found the sex registry &. thought it was a dating site .ย โ
ย ย ย ย ย โThatโs not fair,โ the Onceler said, frowning, even though it absolutely was. ย It seemed for his entire life, he had been drawn to guys with some level of skeeze about them, perhaps because they were the only ones who would give him the time of day when he was younger.
ย ย ย ย ย โBesides, even if I did have bad taste in men, which I donโtโโ ย He put his hands on his hips and thrust his chin forward in a petty, bordering on childish display of defiance. ย โโthat doesnโt mean I canโt give advice about other areas of life.โ
๐๐ธ๐ถ๐ท๐ ๐ผ๐ด๐๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด , ๐๐๐พ๐ฝ๐ถ ๐ผ๐ด๐๐๐ด๐ฝ๐ถ๐ด๐ . coraline was the last person on earth that had the right to criticise someone else's love life ; to have the audacity to wield the weapon that could so easily be used against her . THEY HAD MORE IN COMMON THAN NOT , her own youth spent with men that objectively , had no business being around . though she can only see the wrongness from a third person's perspective . after all , she had allowed them to take pieces of her psyche wilfully , because what does it matter ? perhaps she could mock onceler if she wished to go back &. change how it all played out . . . but she doesn't . THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE PEOPLE SHE DATED WERE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO END UP CAUGHT ( . . . that she knows of ) ; &. it's not as though her own taste in men has evolved over the years .
โโโ eyes roll at the display , a simple action that dismissed his concerns , he was right ; but she refused to believe anything else , only doubling down โ which you do โ she corrects , voice heavy with emphasis โ it brings into question . . . everything else about your life given your choices , so forgive me for putting your advice in the metaphorical draw . โ

โ continuing the rich &. glamorous theme of coraline's main story. the jones family have been woven into petria's politics for as long as anyone can remember , starting in the shadows that slowly came further &. further into the spotlight as time went on ; a transition by design . HENRY JONES , CHIEF DIPLOMAT married ANDREA JONES , WELL RENOWN WITHIN PETRIA FOR HER JOURNALISM .
โ it's only natural for their children to continue the legacy ; ashley , the eldest , showed an interest in the family business , politics &. finance , wanting to follow in the footsteps of his father &. learn the ropes of what it means to be in charge , the leader in the shadows . CORALINE SHOWED NO SUCH SIGN , for a long while she was directionless , SHE WASN'T HANDED A ROLE ; that was until andrea had an idea .
โ petria had a number of superstars within its country ; the most notable being sonya sanchez , yet there was a true gap in the market for international superstardom to represent the country at large . starting from the age of eleven , they began to slowly weave coraline into shows , small roles to see if their plan had any standing in reality ; SHE WAS A NATURAL ON THE CAMERA , coraline was a young girl with too many emotions &. in everyday life , no where to put them . IT ALLOWED HER TO EXPRESS HERSELF , LET GO &. FEEL WITHOUT GUILT , WITHOUT BEING JUDGED FOR IT . A REASON WHY SHE THRIVES SO MUCH AS SHE GROWS UP , ALREADY DOING SOMETHING SHE LOVES FOR A LIVING .
โ SHE LIVED HER LIFE IN THE LIMELIGHT , grew up &. content to remain beneath blinding lights ; it's complicated , a love hate relationship . knowing that it was an illusion of freedom ; she could travel , exist outside &. be someone that she otherwise would ever know existed were it not for line of work ; but she had to watch what she says , could never .

โ despite being constantly watched ; coraline had the incredible ability to vanish right under peoples noses . growing up under lock &. key didn't hinder her ability to run &. hide , only helped her to develop craftier ways to see petria's open roads ; the cops eventually caught up with her , but never for long . she learned quick there were certain stunts she could get away with merely for who she was alone ; her parents were always working , perhaps they should find better guards if it was so important .
โ meeting the brigades at fifteen years old was not by accident , they watched from a distance , everyone knew her face ; who she was the daughter of , this included knowing just the sort of trouble she regularly got into . running away from home , spending days - weeks outside of the home . they took time to try &. recruit her , she almost did , finally taking the leap after growing up in such an oppressive , pro government household . . . until the collapse of 86 .
โ sixteen at the time of the collapse , a monumental moment for petria history . WHO MADE THE PEAK COLLAPSE ? THE GOVERNMENT , THE BRIGADES ? who cares . everyone on all sides died , &. coraline is haunted by her mothers screaming ; the torn limb , leg smashed &. forgotten benethe rock . it left her paralysed , eyes wide feeling too many emotions at once . HER ABUSER , THE WOMAN THAT MADE LIFE HELL , UNLIVABLE AT TIMES . . . A BROKEN HEAP , crumpled &. curling into the floor ; begging for a death that didn't come , but a mercy of passing out under the shock , blood loss &. pain that could never be replicated again . this was the turning point , something in this moment making her step away from the brigades &. focus on family instead . a choice that was harder , more revolutionary in many ways .
โ THIS VERSE IS A EXPLORATION OF . . . BEING A PROPAGANDA MOUTH PIECE , GROWING UP IN A GOLDEN CAGE , THE PRICE OF FAME &. FINDING POLITICAL INDIVIDUALISM .

Jarod twisted the brim of his hat around in his hands. ย He didnโt know why he had taken it off like he was stepping into a church and not the motel room number sheโd given him when he called her on the phone. ย There was a reverential politeness about him, spurned by his unfamiliarity with the situation. ย He had ferried a few hookers from one part of Petria to another, been solicited a couple times, especially when they wanted to get out of the fare. ย And he always told them, hell fucking now, what did they expect him to pay with if he didnโt get the fare money from them?
So, he was not so sheltered that this was his first interaction with one. ย But he had previously thought of himself as not that kind of guy, not the guy who would want or need to hire one. ย Curiosity and a thought about how intolerably long it had been since the last time pushed him into the phone booth, holding a goddamn business card of all things between his gloved fingers.
And now, here he was. ย He had been in this motel before, but his nerves made him feel like there was something about the lighting or the color of the shades that was different from last time. ย He hadnโt been in this exact room, but they couldnโt all be that distinct. ย Despite their wandering, his eyes kept coming back to Blueโsโthat was her name, an alias, of courseโfirm, round tits featured prominently in the sweeping opening in the robe she loosely covered herself with.
โAll right,โ he said, then coughed once into his fist. ย He scratched at the stubble on his cheek, concerned that the flesh under it was turning red. ย Fucked up for a grown-ass man to blush. ย โI donโt do this kind of thing, really, so I donโt knowโฆโ ย God, he felt like such an idiot. ย He was half-tempted to tell Blue to go fuck herself and forget all of this before running back to his cab, but he trudge on, albeit more quietly and casting his eyes down to the floor. ย โโฆwhatโฆ goes first and all.โ

SOME MEN WERE CRUEL , OTHERS WERE ANGELS ; humanity existed on a pendulum , back &. forth till infinity , it never showed as plainly as it did in the sex industry .
โโโ the dread that existed for the day was short lived the moment jarod stepped into the room , his demeanour awkward &. misplaced , so deeply uncomfortable despite all this happening because he organised this meeting , it took everything in her to keep face neutral , A SWEETNESS COATING TONGUE THAT WANTED TO COO AT HIM . clients like him had a special place in her heart , they were fun to unravel ; strip apart until flesh &. bone , it was impossible to hide with nerves exposed โ well โ drawled out , soft &. delicate ; a whisper , afraid he'll bolt before they've even started . โ it depends , every worker has their own order ; their own routine โ though coraline always preferred to pay up front , she used to bend depending on the client back in her earlier days of doing this ; depending on the client , what they were doing . but it was much easier , simpler to take it up front ; safer too . she takes a step forward , closer to him so thumb brushes against his cheek , over the flush under skin ; coarseness of his stubble pleasant against pad , four fingers curling around his jaw ; encouraging him to look up โ but i've always favoured getting the boring part out of the way . โ they had established payment before hand , what the goal of this session was &. wasn't . after a moment lingering touch , she steps further into the room ; pulling out her bag , rummaging to find her purse โ &. don't be so nervous , love . talk to me , how's your day been ? โ
