CONTINUED FROM HERE @starliqqht
his patience was becoming like the fraying end of a short piece of string. snappy, short and rather mean. he was living in a constant bubble of testing those around him and keeping them on a short leash, forever pulling back before things could spiral too far out of hand. it was a testament to the decaying psyche of his own mind, constantly pushing and pulling at the seams.
his distrustful nature towards those around him, even those within the seven. was not hard to ignore and it wasn't difficult to understand why. starlight had given him plenty of reason in the past which unfortunately placed her directly in the firing line of his fouler moods.
had it not been for insight, it would have been like a powder keg ready to explode. somehow, he managed to maintain composure through sheer necessity alone. the need to remain in control of himself and not allow things to descend into something uglier.
thankfully, it worked in annie's favour as he turned toward her with an unreadable but not entirely dangerous expression. a difficult thing to achieve with him these days but not exactly impossible.
the tension still sat visibly within the lines of his posture, shoulders stiff as if physically restraining himself from something ugly beneath the surface. ugliness always had been lurking there.
his gaze lingered on her for a moment too long, attempting to deduct whether her words came from genuine concern or simply another carefully crafted performance for his benefit.
“don't you always know what to say...”
it wasn't quite an accusation. more a statement weighed down by lingering irritation. it settled visibly within the tightening of his jaw, annoyance flickering there alongside something more difficult to place. he stepped slightly closer then, not threatening enough to constitute danger but enough to feel intentional.
“do you actually believe what you're saying right now,” he asked quietly, “or are you just telling me what you think i want to hear?”

is there ever really a good time to have a wanted supe living with you, while america falls apart outside of her window ? no. but at least quinn can use this as an argument that she is fundamentally a good person. ❛❛ the glee club is preparing for their next competition. i keep giving rachel these good ideas, but all she wants to do is show tunes. it's high school all over again. i guess some of us never left. ❜❜

[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - well i don't fucking believe that for one minute, that's part of the problem, love, you always keep count.
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - you never know with kids these day, they pick all sorts of things up from tv and social media nowadays.
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - what he can't handle a little back talk from a ten year old? is he really that fucking weak and pathetic?
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - also you really think i waste my time and energy talking shit on your little boyfriend to our daughter? do you really think i would do that?
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - if harper has that opinion, she formed it herself and maybe you should pay a little bit more attention about the fact that our girl can't stand your boyfriend.
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - fine, she can be grounded . . . at your house.
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - i don't see any issue with her expressing herself like this and if you do, then maybe she should just stay with me whenever you have your boyfriend round.
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - i'm pissing you off? i didn't fucking do anything.
[ TEXT - EX WIFE ] [ sent ] - maybe you should jackson what the fuck he did to get that reaction out of harper.
@starliqqht : 😳 walk in on my muse getting changed ; accepting.
𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, she had gotten used to hiding out here alone, only being in contact through phone calls and she didn't know if the two of them would get much of a chance to see each other again. but she was here. she didn't know for how long, but she was grateful to have this time with her, regardless of how short it would be. she didn't want to have the conversation that she was dreading having and she wanted to just enjoy the time she had with, limited or not. but due to the surprise of her appearing out of nowhere, maggie had excused herself for a shower after having spent most of the day working in the garden, the only thing that could 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 herself. not wanting to spend too long apart from her, she showered quickly, making sure to be careful with her limited vision which she was getting used to. getting out of the shower and moving back into the bedroom to get dry and redressed, turning only when she heard the door open again and smiling softly at annie stepping into the room, “ didn't think you were the type to try and sneak in on me changing, ” maggie teased, blue eyes focused on the blonde and holding a hand out to her as she took her in. she couldn't believe she was here, she had spent so much time longing for her to be here and now she was, she still couldn't quite believe it. her shining star was finally 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 and the whole place just felt a little brighter with her here. fuck, annie had turned her into such a softie, “ i missed you so fucking much, ”

[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - i got overexcited and immediately knew i had to text you
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - because oh my god! our girls are together!
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - they just left here together and i immediately told ant that i was going to text you because i had to know if you already knew!
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - well bella told us that harper is her girlfriend, so that is definitely dating to me and you know how open our girl is with me and ant.
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - look, it had been a day that i know i had been dreading, mostly because i didn't feel like anyone could be good enough for bella.
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - but harper?
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - i mean i can't have an issue with that at all, they're adorable together, they look happy and in sync with each other.
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - oh butcher can try and scare off bella, but we know first hand when that girl wants something nothing gets in her way . . . plus i don't think bella is scared of butcher either, which won't help him 😂
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - you think me and ant already don't have a savings account for a future wedding? we've been putting money aside for years, one college fund, one wedding fund.
[ TEXT - PRINCESS ANNIE ⭐ ] [ sent ] - at least we know that there would be no in law dramas with all of us.

[ TEXT - MISS ANNIE ] [ sent ] - that's the thing i don't really know how to feel about any of this. like i'm sad and angry at the way people are reacting to me, making me feel like i am something i'm not . . . but at the same time, what if they're right? what if i am just like him? genetically, we're exactly the same. pretty much raised in the same conditions, what if history is just doomed to repeat itself?
[ TEXT - MISS ANNIE ] [ sent ] - because the human race constantly makes the same mistakes. you can see throughout all of history, i read a lot about it. if they're not hating on people for the colour of their skin or who they chose to love, they're hating on supes or supes are hating on people without powers. the media are doing their fearmongering or propaganda like they've always done, it doesn't seem to change, their focus just . . . shifts.
[ TEXT - MISS ANNIE ] [ sent ] - is that the big difference? between him and i . . . that i have people that care and he didn't? sorry, you probably don't want to talk about him, but i just have a lot of questions and everything i read just makes me have more. though i understand if you don't want to talk about him, especially after what happened.
[ TEXT - MISS ANNIE ] [ sent ] - it's not bad advice, just contradictory. you asked me to lay low, but also don't want me to be scared to go outside. i've been dealing with people talking and whispering about me behind my back since you brought me here, they all did it, but it's all so much louder out there than it ever was in here.
[ TEXT - MISS ANNIE ] [ sent ] - how did you deal with it? when it felt like everyone was against you?
@starliqqht continuing from X
Kimiko sits near her friend, cross-legged so she can rest her arms on top of her knees; it's not the best position to eat, but it's somewhere between 'I'm listening' and 'I'm completely comfortable with this friendly interaction' even if only the first one is true. The second one, not so much, not when she's supposed to say something helpful to Annie.
That feels more like Frenchie's job. Or Hughie, of course. They are the sweethearts. She's the killer. But Annie looks upset, and Kimiko hates it. So she has to try. "That's what those fuckers want you to think, you can't let them... convince you." She manages to have the right tone and volume, but she sounds a little French. A little weird, too. Can't give up, though. "And they have to say bullshit like all the baby crap. That means they can't find anything bad in the..." she gestures, but then remembers the word: "In reality."
Kimiko looks at her hopefully, wanting Annie to see the truth in her words, before glancing at her phone and letting her tiktok-memories speak for her: "You need the self-care, girl! Less Homelander, more puppy videos. I'm going to send you a bunch."
