"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

Well, fuck me sideways. Connections have been made.

My girlfriend has this specific gesture she does sometimes, a very particular way of turning her wrist around and locking her fingers in one specific grip. Fast or slow, the angle of her wrist and the rhythm of the movement are always exactly the same, and at this point I've learned to recognize the motion well enough that she could do it with her back towards me and I know she's doing it.

The first time I saw her do it I thought she was putting something into her pocket, but once I noticed her making it more often I started making connections. I saw her doing it unconsciously when some situation in the house is getting tense - not during the casual sparring arguments with my other housemates, but the serious fights where shit is about to actually get fucking real - and I figured that it's a nervous thing, she doesn't like where this is going and it's scaring her. So that became my cue that it's time to back down.

I don't know when she noticed that I noticed her doing it. We've never talked about it, but at some point she started doing it on purpose, as her way of telling me that I should stop causing problems. Rotating her hand slowly means she's seeing a problem brewing and it's better that I watch myself before I start escalating it, and a quick flick and snap means whatever I was just about to say or do, I should cut that shit out right this fucking second. It works for some reason, so I've respected that.

My girlfriend does some volunteering favors for the neighbors here sometimes. Today she asked if I wanted to come along to walk this one old couple's dog, and I was feeling up for it so I went along. My father was terrified of dogs so I'm not familiar with them, but her family has always had them.

So we were walking, talking about something else, enjoying the nice weather for once, when my girlfriend saw another dog walker approaching. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but the other dog walker started pulling the dog back with this roller leash thing whatever the fuck they're called. And then the old couples' dog started growling.

With the familiarity of someone who's been handling dogs all her life my girlfriend grabbed the little fucker's leash, wrapping it around the width of her palm and gripping it to pull the dog closer a second before it could bolt to attack. A move she's probably done countless times in her life, that she could do in her sleep, by instinct, without ever even thinking about it. A gesture I've learned to fucking spot from across the room from the corner of my eye. That exact same fucking twirl and grip. I have no idea if she noticed me noticing it or making the connection.

She's fucking learned to pull my fucking leash back when I'm about to start shit.

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know

#oh god this fucks me up#not just because it’s the aunt she loves#but her dead mother’s face too#and they ask so much of Kara#all these people#and she gets so little in return#but she keeps on giving#and she keeps on being the one to get hurt (via @damelola)

# IT GETS EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHAT ASTRA’S DOING RIGHT HERE # SHE ISN’T FIGHTING. THIS IS A WOMAN WHO OVER EVERYTHING IS A SOLDIER FIRST AND FOREMOST. # EXCEPT THAT’S NOT QUITE TRUE-SHE’D CHOOSE AUNT OVER SOLDIER BECAUSE TO HER KARA IS /EVERYTHING/ # THIS IS A WOMAN WHO HAS SUPERPOWERS AND CAN FLY UP OR AWAY OR JUST AVOID THE PUNCH IF SHE WANTED TO # BUT ALL SHE DOES IS STARE # EYES WIDE WIDE OPEN # DRINKING IN THE SIGHT OF HER NIECE ECLIPSED BY THE SUN # BECAUSE FOR 20 YEARS THIS IS WHAT SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT PARADISE WOULD LIKE WHEN SHE DIED # HER BELOVED NIECE ECLIPSE BY RAO’S RAYS OF SUNLIGHT # EXCEPT THIS IS REALITY AND THE RAYS ARE GOLD NOT RED AND KARA’S ALIVE SHE’S OK EVEN THOUGH SHE MIGHT /HATE/ HER SHE’S STILL ALIVE # SHE KNOWS SHE’S SUPPOSED TO LOSE ON PURPOSE THAT’S PART OF THE PLAN # BUT FOR JUST A MOMENT ALL SHE CAN SEE IS THE PERSON SHE LOVES OVER EVERYTHING IN THE GALAXY # AND IF SHE NEVER GETS OUT OF THE DEO # A FULLY GROWN KARA. SOMETHING THAT SHE’D NEVER THOUGHT SHE’D BE ABLE TO SEE AND 30 SOMETHING YEARS LATER SHE WAS PROVEN WRONG # SHE WANTS TO IMPRINT INTO HER BRAIN THE MEMORY OF WHAT KARA LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUN (via @randomthingsthatilike1)

A polyamorous thruple are taking a hike through the forest when they find a weird rock and lift it. From under the rock a pixie comes out.

"Thank you for freeing me. I am a pixie of love, and as thanks I'll give a gift of gold to each of you. But the gift will only go to the one you love most."

The first member of the thruple says "but I love both my partners equally."

"Then I cannot give you the gift." the pixie replies.

"I'm okay with that. My love is more important."

The second member also says "I also love both my partners equally"

"Then I cannot give you the gift either."

"I'm okay with that. My love is more important."

Finally the third member says "I love this one the most." much to shock of both partners.

"Then they shall receive my gift." the pixie says, grants the gift of gold and then vanishes.

After the pixie left, the first member says "I can't believe you don't love us equally!" and the second member concurs.

Then the third member sighs and then says "I love you both equally and very much so, but fucking hell are you stupid."
