good afternoon. betty's first story involved some time undercover, she took it partially as a way to reinvent herself as she started her career and got over from ned's death but by the end found that long term deception that like didn't fully match with the type of journalism she wanted to do or the work life balance she found was important to her over her marriage with ned.

she can't help but pity the man, he looks tragic huddled on his chair and though they have all been on the wrong side of jonah's foul moods the buck seems to get passed to peter more than his fair share, "what do you need? outside of killing you or jonah?"

THE CRAFT (1996) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ I can't stay home and watch daytime TV for the rest of my life. ❜
❛ The almanac says today will bring an arrival of something. ❜
❛ We need someone to call out the corners-- north, south, east and west. ❜
❛ I am sorry. My defenses are up. People here have been really rude to me. ❜
❛ He comes on to anything with tits. ❜
❛ Everything in nature steals, you know. Big animals steal from little ones. ❜
❛ Maybe you're a natural witch. Your power comes from within. ❜
❛ I had a dream about you. In my dream, you were dead. ❜
❛ Man invented God. This is older than that. ❜
❛ Do you guys worship the devil? ❜
❛ Sometimes I will want it to rain, and a pipe will burst in my room and it will just get flooded. Or I will want it just to be quiet, and I will wish for it, and I will go deaf for three days straight. ❜
❛ Nothing makes everything all better again. ❜
❛ Maybe he was just trying to save face then... because... he's going around the whole school saying that... you're the lousiest lay he's ever had. ❜
❛ Why'd you lie about me? ❜
❛ Look, I don't want to go out with you again. Okay? Please stop begging. It's pathetic. ❜
❛ She's gonna cry, and then I am gonna cry. We're all gonna cry. ❜
❛ You girls watch out for those weirdos. ❜
❛ We are the weirdos. ❜
❛ Did you tell your friends? That you're a lying sack of shit. ❜
❛ Did you ever play that game, light as a feather, stiff as a board? ❜
❛ I think she doesn't want to be white trash any more. And I told her, "You're white, honey. Just deal with it." ❜
❛ Ever since I was a little girl I said, “All I want in life is a juke box that plays nothing but Connie Francis records.' ❜
❛ It's just that I can't stop thinking about you. I don't know why, but I think I love you. ❜
❛ I don't know what's happening to me. I can't eat. I can't sleep. ❜
❛ When you open a floodgate, how do you undo it? You unleash something with a spell. There is no undoing. It must run its course. ❜
❛ You should let him suffer. ❜
❛ It's not for you to judge suffering. ❜
❛ True magic is neither black nor white. It's both because nature is both. Loving and cruel, all at the same time. The only good or bad is in the heart of the witch. ❜
❛ Whatever you send out you get back times three. ❜
❛ You want to invoke the spirit? You must be experienced to do this. It's very dangerous. ❜
❛ You know, the serpent is a very powerful being. You should respect it. ❜
❛ Listen, all I am saying is I think it's enough already. ❜
❛ I know you think we're getting what we want now, but it's going to come back to us threefold. ❜
❛ Are we actually having a theological conversation here? ❜
❛ I mean, it's fun, it's scary. I mean, who gives a shit? ❜
❛ Stop trying to win them over, because it won't work. ❜
❛ How do you know what I look like? We're talking on the phone. ❜
❛ I disagreed with them once, and they turned their backs on me. That's not friendship. ❜
❛ Sometimes it's like we're one person. Know what I mean? ❜
❛ You should have seen the look in his eyes. It was so weird. They seemed empty, like it wasn't even him. ❜
❛ You're a witch! They were right. ❜
❛ The only reason you're in love with her is because she cast a spell on you. Sad, but true. ❜
❛ You don't even exist to me! You don't even exist. You are nothing. ❜
❛ The only way you know how to treat women is by treating them like whores! ❜
❛ He's sorry? Oh, he's sorry! He's sorry! He's sorry! Sorry, my ass! ❜
❛ Don't touch me! Everything I touch turns to shit. ❜
❛ You know, in the old days if a witch betrayed her coven... they would kill her. ❜
❛ I know I don't know you very well, but I just didn't know where else to go. ❜
❛ And now, it's like everywhere I turn, they're all around me. No matter what I do, ❛ they're still there. I don't know what to do. ❜
❛ She's inside my dreams. She knows what's going on inside my head. She can read my mind. ❜
❛ I can't control it. I always end up hurting somebody. ❜
❛ You must invoke the spirit. ❜
❛ If it isn’t real then why are you still bleeding? ❜
❛ Run! Run back up to your room like the little coward that you are. ❜
❛ What's going on? Why aren't you dead? ❜
❛ He came to me. Saved me. And he wanted me to give you a message. You're in deep shit. ❜
❛ By the way, what happened to [name]? They rushed out of here without even saying good-bye. That's bad manners. ❜
❛ Relax. It's only magic. ❜
❛ Look. I know I am a little crazy. I don't mean to be. ❜
❛ It all got out of hand, and I am sorry. No more games, okay? ❜
❛ We were just wondering, do you still have any powers? Because we don't. ❜
❛ Hold your breath until I call. ❜
❛ Be careful. You don't want to end up like [name]. ❜

it's a humanising moment, one that pulls back the legends and the power that lingers beneath wanda's surface to reveal just how alike they are. she wonders if that should be scary or comforting, "i think i will just always wonder whether i called it quits to soon, whether he deserved more time."
@hexsreality liked for a lyric starter
" and loving is hard, it don't always work, you just try your best not to get hurt. i used to be mad but now I know sometimes it's better to let someone go. "
– older, sasha alex sloan

i joke about this sometimes but genuinely betty is the most sexually explorative after she is widowed. initially it's not necessarily in a healthy way but it does eventually become part of her learning about herself, learning what she is like not in a relationship and learning about what she likes.

"𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥" 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘴.
i'm a sucker for that scene where one person is injured and alone and ends up knocking on another person's door in their hour of need, and i'm an even bigger sucker for the tending to the injuries and the quiet emotional content that follows, and i'm here to make it everyone else's problem! as always, to reverse the actions, just add "+ REVERSE" to the end! i made these prompts on @soulprompts , DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST OR REPOST OR CLAIM AS YOUR OWN.
from the injured.
" i didn't know where else to go... "
" whatever you've been told about me, whatever you've heard or seen or listened to... none of it's true. "
" at least i have you to look after me, eh? "
" would you believe me if i said i got all these injuries by slipping in the rain? "
" i'm sorry... i know this isn't what you signed up for. "
" you're the only one i can trust. "
" do you believe what they're saying about me? "
" aren't you going to say i told you so? "
" i am grateful, you know. for everything you've ever done for me... i notice. and i see you. and i've never thanked you properly before, so... thank you. "
" i know i must be the last person you expected to see tonight, but... i'm afraid i have nowhere else to turn to. "
" thank you for not asking questions. "
" i know you have no reason to believe me, much less to trust me, but... i promise you. i swear to you, i am being set up. "
" you know, you'd make a nice profit if you turned this place into a safehouse. "
" why are you helping me? "
" why the hell did you open your door for me if you're so angry at me?! "
to the injured.
" quickly, get in before anyone sees you... "
" you came to the right place. hurry, get in... "
" what the hell happened to you!? "
" are you going to tell me what happened to you tonight? "
" i assume that the rumors surrounding you are all false and unrelated to why you're bleeding out on my sofa? "
" do you honestly expect me to just forget about the past so i can bandage you up? "
" you don't need to thank me. you'd fix me up if i came to your door with this much trouble, too. "
" regardless of everything you've said and done in the past, there isn't a single part of me that wouldn't open the door when you're knocking on it. "
" we can talk in the morning. for now, you need to rest. "
" i found you unconscious on my doorstep. "
" oh, i get it. i can stitch you up and let you get blood all over my bed sheets until the cows come home, but heaven forbid i start to ask questions about why you're bleeding in the first place. "
" things must be really bad if you're trying to say i was your best chance at being helped. "
" don't be stupid. you're not going anywhere. come on, back into bed... "
" i called in sick. we have the whole day to figure out what your next moves are going to be. "
" good! you're awake. i was beginning to worry... "
" you're not allowed to die in my bedroom. the rumours would never stop... "
" perhaps we ought to let bygones be bygones. until i'm confident that you're not going to die on my sofa, that is. "
" it's a bit late to worry about dragging me into your mess, don't you think? "
" you know why i opened that door... "
ACTIONS.
[ BANDAGE ]: sender gently begins to bandage receiver's wounds.
[ BED ]: sender guides receiver into bed, tucking them in and taking a seat by their bedside.
[ FEVER ]: having noticed the receiver beginning to spike a fever, sender presses a cool cloth to their forehead to try and bring it down.
[ CLOTHES ]: after tending to the receiver's wounds, sender brings them fresh clean clothes to change into.
[ FOOD ]: after ensuring the receiver is safe and stable, sender brings them out a plate of food.
[ BATH ]: sender runs the recently-cared-for receiver a hot bath.
[ WAIT ]: aftering tending to the receiver's injuries, sender takes a seat across for them, and patiently waits for them to start explaining what happened.
[ CATCH ]: noticing the receiver beginning to collapse on their doorstep, sender hastily catches them and brings them inside.
[ KISS ]: sender, after being cared for by the receiver, breaks the tension that's been building since they walked through the door, and pulls them in for a kiss.
[ HOLD ]: having been bandaged and cared for by the receiver, sender unexpectedly reaches out to take their hand and hold it in a quiet, sincere gesture of gratitude.

betty doesn't stop to hail a cab as she stomps away from the warehouse. too distracted to have kept in time with the others as they played and too upset now to sit still for the drive home. she needs a walk. but didn't need to be a genius to have predicted that murdock's offer of help would come with strings. yet his interest in gwen had caught her off guard. barely able to meet her eyes throughout practice and stalling when it ended so they didn't leave at the same time.
she's a couple of block away from their apartment when a glint of something large passes in an alleyway. stuffing her hands in her pockets and keeping her head down, she speeds up.
@buglesbetty → ♡
it watches, curiously yet with intent, as young woman crosses street in the nigh darkness of ever-lit surface world, seeking out the deep pockets of shadow as she heads home from band practice. he had spent a few nights now watching her (at His request) and learning everything he could about the little creature far below. where she lived, where she worked, anything that seemed to matter to her — including the band. a cacophony of noises the scorpion might've enjoyed under different circumstances.
instead now he sinks into the familiar hum of the city, body melting in the steel and brick jungle of new york city as it follows the little birdie home, making sure she doesn't get any bright ideas under their noses.

celia rose gooding
phoebe pearson. from a young age phoebe knew that she wanted to be an explorer, desperate to see the world beyond her small bubble, find everything there was to be discovered. but as with so many kids the opinions of adults set in and she settled on something more realistic, journalism. joining her school's paper for a taste and finding she has talent for writing but more than at a great ability for connecting with people and learning their stories.
she joins the bugle for an internship in her second year of college, lining up with betty's first year as a reporter. lowest rung on the ladder, betty is given the responsibility of coordinating all the interns. when she graduates and starts applying for jobs, it is betty who remembers her from the internship and encourages robbie to hire her.

good afternoon. betty's long service at the bugle means that even when in junior roles she is often treated by her colleagues with a level seniority that she doesn't have. this can be confusing or weird for new employees, especially those who are older than her but most come to appreciate the skills and network she has to offer.

@nursc // st starter inspired by this
“Is the doctor in?” Betty weakly chuckles, limping through the sickbay door one hand rubbing her temple where a small line of blood dripped towards her chin.
