Rewatching Kin S1 right now and...
Looking pretty while bloodied is starting to feel like something Charlie ought to have on his acting CV under special skills. 😂❤️🔥
Still not talking to you, Boardwalk Empire, about your flagrant abuse of said special skill though.💀

Fentonic 2024: (15)Fireplace+ (16)Failed confession
FEBUWHUMP 2024: (12)semi-conscious
(part 2 of day 13)
"It's okay," Jason says. "I... I always knew I'm gonna die young."
He check his phone. Still "no contact".
"Can you do something for me?" He asks. "Can you tell my fiancé I'm sorry? And maybe ask my brother to help her?"
"I'm sorry," Psychopomp says. "I'm so, so sorry, Jay. But I can't do this. I can't let the Living and the Deceased interact."
In this form, her tears look like tiny candlelights, and they fade into nothing before they hit the ground.
"That's... that's not true," he struggles to say. "You were... I saw you. With Meg. You let her talk to me."
"Let her talk? Meg? I don't understan-"
Wait. Can it be...? But, he doesn't feel like that, but...?
"Jay," she asks. "Are you the Red Hood?"
Her ears are ringing in the tension. Because, if-
"I thought you knew?" His eyes are unfocused. "Isn't it why you got here?"
But, it doesn't make any sense -
"Jay," she says.
He doesn't reply.
"Jason!" She let out a short cry.
He open his eye.
"Did you die, before?"
( And all of a sudden, they aren't in the library anymore. The peaceful zone she created for his last moments is gone. They aren't back in the collapsed building either.
But there are ruins and fire and a constant laugh, like an old sitcom, a voice going
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"
And Jay, Jason, the brave and courageous man ahe knows, is cradled on the ground, tears in his eyes and only his tongue moving, silently repeat mouthing:
"No, no, no, no" )
She pull them out of that death-dream, that haunting memory, but it's too late. They can't go back to safety now.
They are under the rabble, and her dying friend is crying, only whispering-
"yes."
