[livingreds]

literally gagged typing this. nicky i hate you so much.

[livingreds]

rachel deserves the crashout of the century btw. all that shit that man put her through in the last episode ALONE

[livingreds]

what if you staked your life on a man because you thought he believed you, thought he saw you, only for him to make a massive gesture that not only shows he never believed you or understood you at all but also is just fucking mortifying, but he insists he's doing it for you, that it's what you want. and not only that but he only goes back on this decision after his mom tells him to. and when the worst happens and he sees you were right he tries to doom you, to take you down with him.

she deserves to kill people tbh and its so kind of her that she doesn't.

@tearaparts: “You looked in need of saving.” from van

svb.igth episode five / accepting

"No, I was actually...pretty good," Rachel answers, although looking around, she can see why Van might have thought that. Rachel herself isn't dressed in the group's signature purple, but she had been surrounded by people who were, all asking questions, marveling at the now re-covered shoulder tattoo of an all-too-familiar symbol. People looking for crumbs of the connection their leader promoted and finding it in Rachel's stories of dreams and intuition and about how her mother knew Charlotte. In return, Rachel can't help but feel somewhat seen, believed. It hasn't ever been that common in her life.

"They're not bad people. Maybe a bit...enthusiastic, but they're okay."

@tearaparts: “That’s the secret to a healthy adulthood.” from haymitch. do NOT listen

svb.igth episode 1 / accepting

"Mm, which part? The child death match or the drinking?" Still, she raises her own drink up in a mock cheers before taking a large sip. It's all jokes, but in reality, she couldn't exactly say what a healthy adulthood was supposed to be. A mother who was dead before Rachel knew her, a traumatized and paranoid father who shut her away from the world, the prying eyes of the Capitol at large. Arguably, the most well-adjusted people she had seen had been the Cunninghams, and...well look how that went. Though, she had definitely outmatched them in instability.

SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN Episode 2: Bride-Shaped Hole

[livingreds]

@tearaparts: “Maybe I was there for a reason.” from michael. lord

svb.igth episode five / accepting

"That doesn't mean it's a good one." Whether it's a sick twist of fate or a more devious plan at play, Rachel isn't confident it will go the way Michael seems to be hoping. She's an anxious person, yes, but she's not without reasons to be on edge. Especially as he recounts his first night on the boardwalk and the people he met.

"You went looking for danger and you found it. Now you need to be very, very careful how you handle it."

[livingreds]

@tearaparts: “I do sort of feel like I’m having déjà vu, but… not the good kind.” from michael

svb.igth episode 1 / accepting

Rachel takes a deep breath and lets it out as a sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Yeah, you and me both." It's hard not to see the kid and think of her own turning, to be dragged back to the trauma of her wedding week and what she's endured since then. Still, she tries to stay grounded in what's happening now. She's past help, but she can help him.

"Okay," she starts, stopping her pacing and pivoting to face him. Rachel places her hands on his shoulders, "Alright. Okay, you're only have turned. So you still have a chance, you have a choice." More than what she got. "You're going to feel like shit, and it's only going to get worse until you do something. You can make a kill and turn fully, but if you don't want that, there are ways out of this. I'll be there to help you either way, alright?"
