something to get me through the night — dream/morpheus x johanna constantine 

She knows that distraction is not the healthiest strategy, yet there aren’t many other options. She needs someone tonight, but she doesn’t have anyone to call — and no one else to blame it for but herself — while Morpheus is right there, just as lonely as she is, she thinks, and for some inexplicable reason, she likes him.  

After they retrieve the Sand Pouch, Johanna invites Morpheus to her place. Some time later he invites himself back.

No matter how desperate or dire, never pray to the gods that answer after dark.

I've always wanted to draw this scene, and I've been trying to practice backgrounds so the forest setting was perfect. I also really like the way the 2nd panel turned out!

I had several drones and all of ART’s cameras in this room on her. Somehow it still wasn’t enough, so I shifted my eyes from the wall to her, too. I captured her every detail, from the light brown hair curling on her head, to the laughter lines on her face, and the calm and sure way she held herself, even if she was still troubled by the traumatic experiences GrayCris put her through. I would see her again, but I didn’t know when, so I made sure to save this image in my permanent storage. I had a special folder where I kept files on all of my humans.

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

Sudden desire to draw Murderbot jumping off of a building with Mensah. (Just for the vibes, did not re-read Exit Strategy, so I don't remember the details)

“Stick Season is a colloquialism in Vermont and greater New England, about that time of the year where it’s between the peak foliage and the first snow, and there’s all the leaves are off the trees and it’s kind of a depressing time of transition. And it’s a term that I felt like was really cool to navigate in the frame of a relationship, as well as in the frame of where I grew up in New Hampshire and Vermont, the idea that things are hard and ugly and eventually, the beauty will come, winter will come and spring will come, but there’s that time that you have to get through.”

"Except it wasn’t entirely awful. It was like when Tapan had slept next to me in the room at the hostel, or when Abene had leaned on me after I saved her; strange, but not as horrific as I would have thought." - Murderbot, Exit Strategy

This is not yours to fix alone. You act like you’re all alone out there in the world, but you’re not. You’re not alone.
