I’m probably gonna update my rules. Absences are to be expected from me, especially with classes starting again soon. That, and I’m trying to take care of my mental health.

if a beautiful woman disagrees with me, i will immediately change my view. i've no principles. (For Ashley Wei!)

“You think I’m beautiful?” Ashley asks, a smile growing over her painted lips. She found her new companion to be quite charming, if eccentric, but who wasn’t a bit odd? Shaking her head, she laughs.

“Well, you’re beautiful and funny. And I love funny. Your jokes just come out; they’re not scripted, which makes them even better. How do you do it?”

❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜

❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ i thought you’d like some company. ❜

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜

❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜

❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

❛ ah, so you aren’t heartless after all. ❜

❛ may i have this dance? ❜

❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ just sit there and look pretty and let me handle this. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ i was wrong about you. ❜

❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜

❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜

❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜

❛ i just wanted to say thank you for protecting me. ❜

❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜

❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜

i just had to tell you how good you were. - Tintin @vingtiemes to 20s!!!

@vingtiemes <3

“Good?”

Ashley’s bewildered as he stares down the young reporter. Slowly, he breaks his astonished expression, turning it into one of laughter as he shakes his head. “Where did that come from, huh? I ain’t that good a man, Tintin, trust me. Maybe…maybe I’m good at baseball, but I ain’t no angel.”

It seemed impossible now to turn his life around. He couldn’t abandon his reputation and the family he’d built, but even then, the gang would have it out for him if he decided to cut ties. He knew too much. The baseball dream was just that: a dream. Probably would never accomplish it no matter how hard he practiced nor how many games he watched to study. Ashley had made some wrong choices in life and he was still dealing with the repercussions.

“Yunno,” he starts, leaning back in his chair, “maybe none of us are.”

"Made it? As in, you wrote the crossword today?" She looks at him, eyes wide in awe; perhaps it was a childish notion, but it never struck her that anyone actually wrote those things, rather than them simply spawning in ink and riddles.

"I was never really good at those. I like words and I can figure a couple of them out before I get frustrated, but otherwise I have to have the encyclopedia with me the whole time. How do you get all the little boxes so straight?"

“Aw, I can’t take all the credit! I get some help with some of the clues and words, but otherwise, I try awfully hard to make it look nice.” There’s a twinkle in Ashley’s eye, a joyful one that spawns from his work being recognized. He was absolutely delighted!

“Well, the way I do it is hope and pray really hard that I get it straight. And a ruler. That helps, too,” he jokes, “I can’t blame you! We do make them tricky sometimes. A real puzzle to solve. But what good would it be if it was easy? Say, what are you really good at? You might be able to teach me something!”

Craig: what’s wrong with the way i talk? (//says the boy who is displaced in time LKFJDSDF)

“I just don’t understand half of what you’re talking about,” Ashley admits, “it’s not wrong, per se, it’s just confusing.” He shrugs, trying not to scrutinize the boy too much. "Is this what kids say nowadays? I'm not that old, but I'm sure starting to feel it."

He thought he was in the loop, seeing as he was a journalist and he had to keep up with new terms and sayings. But these? Certainly new to him. It sounded like gibberish. "Could you perhaps explain some? I'll jot it down for future reference."
