LOVE DOES HAPPEN TO DO THAT , but maybe some envious people forget that diana is thousands of years old. she's had years to perfect this love. she's even spent at least a thousand years reserved to themyscira before the threat of ares rose -- she did not always have this same exact love for humanity , or the ability to fight for EVERYONE . there was a point her love was so selfish it was reserved only for the amazons.
... it is not something that just happens. that is the point. LEARNING TO LOVE. learning to forgive. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
" i may not like them. contrary to popular belief , there are those in the world i will not love and i will not forgive. i reserve the selfish to desire to protect my peace and especially the peace of my people. some people will need to die and that is not simply out of hatred. it is to protect everything else. "
... all of that , though , was said with this slight smile. something beautiful just curling the corner of diana's lips.
" i am fine with never meeting them , i came here for your company as it stands , carol. "
"hey, do you think I'd suit a goatee?" [ from kon. i'm so sorry, tim ]

Tim inspects Kon with his detective's eye, ice blue irises affixing themselves to the angles and planes of a face with which he is already so familiar. "I think you could pull off facial hair, but the goatee probably clashes with those inherited Superman looks. Try some stubble first."
And then he grins. "We could always go to a costume shop and see what works, though. Whaddya say; wanna wear some plastic hairs all over your chin? We could make you into Gandalf!"
Excitement! Purest elation from the woman drenched in a dark violet glow as a bolt of green light set her skies ablaze. It had been so long since last she felt her own flesh, the sensations of a full and rich life in her gullet were making her giddy.
Ever since Her Folly, she'd spent day in and day out in an incorporeal firestorm of passion, unraveling herself within the battery, feeding her feelings to the battery, bleeding her life for the battery, the battery, the batt-
Gracefully, she stepped first onto the soil of her gracious new throneworld, then took flight that she might meet @knightlier in the air. Her smile was ravenous radiant as she approached; bright, warm and a passionate scarlet mess.
❝ It's good to see you, beloved. You've only just missed lunch, I'm afraid... ❞ Not that she couldn't eat again. In fact, just looking at him made the emptiness beyond her ribs ache just a bit more.
it bothers him, how easily his son welcomes him in every time. how, in these moments where he plays at getting better, joey believes him. sees the best in him. he hates the vulnerability that comes along with being around joseph. the way the boy cracks his shell open, even if only slightly. he ducks when he passes under the doorway, grits his teeth for a moment before speaking.
"you look rested." is all he can come up with. he won't be honest with him. won't tell him how often he thinks of him. how he stares up at the ceiling imagining what could've been. thinks about how they used to be, what they used to be. there's no point in it. "how's your mother?"
"do you...?" joseph sounds clipped as he speaks, signing to finish the sentence. do you know asl. he doesn't expect her to. she has no reason to. but even with speech returned to his body, throat healed from jackal's attempt on his life, he still finds it hard to speak at times. he had this issue long before losing speech and while he can force words out at times, it sounds wrong, difficult.
some may say it's the lingering effect of trauma. others may say it's guilt. joey doesn't want to put a name to it. he wets his lips. he can do this. he needs to. "it's okay if. you don't, rose."
rose shakes her head , an unknowing answer to joey's signed statement. despite not knowing any sign , it's clear as to what he asked , and she hates that there's guilt there , lingering. ( her mother had no real reason to know asl , and none of rose's guardians since then had even bothered. she hadn't even known joey had known sign speak until -- ).
' i don't , but i'll learn. ' she can tell it bothers him to speak , and she's not about to hurt him just for her convenience. ' there's probably some online classes i could take or ... you could teach me ? if you want to. ' there's a brief moment where she thinks about offering to teach him khmer , but. ( would he even want to ? it's not useful , and he has no connection to the language or the culture except through her. ).
“how did you survive?” [ from a very bewildered kyle, ]
Logan grins.
“What, you think that’s the first time I burned up in space?” He laughed, and it trailed off into a cough. Ah, shit. Some part of his breathing was still catching up to the rest of him - probably something in his throat. Motherfucker. He scrubs his mouth with the back of his hand and cracks his neck.
AHH, hello, nox!! TYSM for sending these in though i know i am rather late to answering them now (': however, i will always appreciate y'all sending stuff in... so yeah! i shall get right to answering these :D
01. when were you first introduced to tumblr rp , & do you remember how ?
OOH, okay, this is a good question because its honestly a bit complicated. but one of the oldest online friends that i have actually introduced me to the idea that you could RP on tumblr because she's been on it for a while! or, at least, a lot longer than i've been on tumblr LOL though she doesn't roleplay on here... i had met her through another site where people roleplay, but it was one that i originally joined in order to write books.
but the general gist of it is that she told me that tumblr is a really fun place to kind of interact with other people and at the time, i was hesitant to join any other social media because i was very private - you know? though i thought it was interesting that she mentioned that people roleplayed on here, as on the site i used to be on, people had to do it an entirely different way as there was no 'askbox' like there is one here. only a message-board for your account and so all roleplays had to really take place there BUT like i was saying, in january of this year, that site had drastically dropped in activity whenever it came to roleplaying.
so i began to look for a different place to do so on and lo + behold, i then remembered that my online friend had mentioned that you could roleplay on tumblr!! and thus... my first account on here, @mad-hunts, was born. because it did seem fun on the outside and it turned out that joining the platform resulted in me having a lot of fun + i'm continuing to do so now as well so i'd say that i'm very grateful for my friend introducing me to it. because, otherwise, i would've likely not known about it at all.
06. is there something about the roleplay community that irks you ?
hmm, well... i think that the RP community is made up of a lot of awesome people who are also SUPER talented, by the way! and thus, i have already made a lot of good memories whenever it comes to roleplaying on here with other people. but like all things, there is unfortunately bound to be at a few aspects of it that irk you, i guess you could say. the first thing that popped into my head is not like a big thing to me, but its still important.
and that is when people don't read your rules. i mean... don't get me wrong, i'm not infallible myself and mistakes happen sometimes where i might forget about something, but i always try to remember to read a person's rules before interacting with them. this is, of course, because they often contain boundaries that are significant for the roleplayer in question; and if you don't read them then you are potentially risking breaking them as a result.
but yeah, its also important because you want to know how a person's character might diverge from canon if it has anything written about that in their rules and they exist in media; or if they're an oc, it might contain some information in there that is crucial to know. and although i would never accuse anyone on here of not wanting to get to know a person's character as y'all are awesome - like i mentioned before, its just best to read a person's rules so that way, you don't have to guess something about another person's muse (which may lead to some conflict) and you aren't disrespecting anyone's boundaries.
07. what character/s do you relate to the most ?
this is a really interesting question, actually, NGL because it caused me to take a deep-dive into what movies / shows i've watched where i really felt a connection to one character or another. and i'm not going to lie - there are a few out there that i've related to. the one i want to talk about now though might be kind of an odd pick, but hear me out: coraline from the movie by henry selick was a character that i used to relate to a lot, and still kind of do, as... yeah.
she's a kid in the movie, but goddd, are the things she experienced in the movie relatable to me. i mean, wanting to escape from reality because the truth of the matter is... its kind of disappointing at times and being in someplace that's always exciting is very appealing because of that? that's definitely something i've felt, yeah. but coraline also discovers by the end of the movie, i think, that its okay that life is sometimes mundane and/or disappointing at times. because you get to spend your life with people who love you, such as your friends and family, who make your life richer / make everything feel like its worth it.
there's also an elephant in the room with coraline just being a bit different, but i say that in the best way, in other character's perspectives - even those of her family like her mom and friends like wybie. but of course, both of them actually reveal themselves to care about her and in a non-toxic way, which is a way in which the other mother wasn't willing to provide for coraline in the movie. + i've always felt a little bit different from others and like i was isolated from them in the past, but people have proved to me before that... no, they're actually better than you might think sometimes and they like you because of what makes you different.
