@vihilum , ❛ did you hurt yourself? ❜ for nancy wheeler.
Tumblr media
he  almost  feels  affront  at  the  question  on  automatic.  had  she  asked  it  first  he'd  have  no  qualms,  but  as  it  stands  she's  sixth  and  everyone  previous  has  set  an  awful,  unfair  precedent  so  far.  journalists  sure  are  one  goddamn  rotten  lot...  yet  her  voice  is  kind  and  searching,  and  he  holds  no  grudges  against  friends so all she gets is a horribly tired smile.  she  just wants  to  know,  no  holds  barred,  as  she  always  does.
and  while  the  answer  would  be  'not  quite',  he  can't  articulate  as  much  with  a  tube  stuck  through  his  neck,  so  he  just  shakes  his  head.  gingerly;  mindful  of  all  the  cables  criss-crossed  around  his  hospital  bed.  the  expectation  that  she'd  believe  him  is  frail;  he  wouldn't  blame  her  if  she  didn't.
he  looks  mostly  unharmed  on  the  outside,  after  all.  no  signs  of  foul  play.  his  cheekbone  stings  from  an  unfortunate  meeting  with  hard  concrete  but  he  knows  there's  no  bruise.  there  never  is.  it's  always  made  lying  that  much  easier  for  patricia  when  there's  no  proof  of  the  contrary,  and  he's  in  no  mood  to  try  and  convince  anyone  otherwise.  the  hawkins'  post  has  swung  round  already,  looking  for  a  very  clear-cut  headline.  'teenager  tears  his  own  throat  open,  more  on  page  3'.
he  gives  her  a  surreptitious  glance  -  room  empty,  habit  unshakeable  -  and  reaches  out  one  unsteady  hand  to  her  bag.  a  small  gesture  makes  the  intent  clear  -  pen  and  paper.

. * ✧ ❤ — @vihilum said :  ❛ mouth the words to me so we can keep things quiet and I’ll still know exactly what you mean ❜ — kate
Tumblr media
quiet eh ?   she wanted to keep things quiet ?   group of masked miscreants dawdling around all in a little circle,   waving their guns in the air all chuffed and excited and she thought they might be able to find a way out of this with hand motions and mouthed words.   even if she understood him,   he didn’t think he would be able to know what she meant. 
he pulls out his phone,   waving a hand animatedly in front of her face before pointing down at his phone, rapidly hitting his fingers across the screen and mouthing   “look at your phone”.
Tumblr media
kate, hello, i think we should have a better plan that involves more than mouthing words. i do hope you remembered to silence your phone, that would be awkward, we’d have to just bolt out of here hah! right, anyways, let’s discuss. thanks — steven 
he reads over the message just once and tilts his head,   yes, i think that sounds rather nice.   with an impassioned tap,   he sends the message,   only for his eyes to widen when he hears a loud DING from kate’s pocket.

how often our muses text: every second when they're not in the same room.
what our muses normally text about: alice sends him the names of movies, he gives her a brief review, tells her whether or not to skip. a lot of 'i miss you' texts even though they saw each other an hour ago. a lot of alice saying 'i hate it here, come save me' - doesn't matter where she is. audio files of her compositions that he gets to listen to before anyone else. sexting (that felt obvious but needed to be said).
our muses’ last few texts: (sent to: mine) you didn't tell me this movie was going to be sad. i hate you. (sent to: mine) make it up to me. or else i destroy you emotionally. (sent to: mine) i put on paddington to cope. i like you again.

@vihilum
Pensive man, what are you thinking about, what's on your mind? Dark room drenched in thick smoke, pile of cigarettes by his feet, he looked so big when he was all dressed up with his chest puffed out, but when all of that was removed, he looked frail. All bunched up, ash flicked on the floor, as he absently picked hairs out of his leg. Morning light ate into the darkness at the edges of the window, he wanted to get back out there, wanted a drink, maybe a coffee with some whiskey in it, a blunt, a line, wanted a lot of things, but he couldn't move, he was frozen, watching her sleep.
Tumblr media
What had to be done was never far away, he had clambered out of bed, stirred by a bad dream etching into reality, shapes shifting in the darkness, hadn't slept long, maybe only an hour or two, red lines floating in the darkness told him it was seven AM, but that was a while ago, surely, how long had he been sat there, perched like a gargoyle on the cold seat.
What had to be done was never far away, the bad dream, about something that happened recently, jumbled mess, people that weren't quite right, looking at him, staring at him, and they were there, in the room with them, shapes rising in the shadows. No. No sleep. They were waiting for him. He would sit right there.
What had to be done was never far away, as the morning wore on, as the pile of cigarettes at his feet grew, he pondered what his day would be like. What shit he would get into, once Sadie was awake, once he would allow the wheels to be set in motion, once he could start drinking and snorting and fighting and killing. He knew who had to go. He thought about them, as he watched her sleep. Thought about what had to be done, and how much it would cost, and whether or not there would be another weight on his soul once this all shook out.

"I'm sorry!"
He chases after her, tries to grab at her arm.
He is so, so —
"I'm sorry."

@vihilum said: "this place does bad things to me." bestie leaves one mess to find another on old stomping grounds CCL with tommy
leland shoots a look up — quietly curious, at tommy's back; ❝ … you never tried to leave? ❞ he'd been meandering, somewhat clumsily after him through the woods, watching his step through the underbrush. now he stops a few feet back, scanning into the trees that shift unexceptionally in the breeze. he wondered if the jersey woods felt to tommy as the backroads of muerto county felt to him. like a mouth, like being watched. like a gravesite. to leland, tommy seemed lonely. like a lighthouse keeper watching a rocky, unforgiving shore. like someone who knew, if he didn't keep that light on, no one would.
maybe it's a silly question, now that he thinks on it. why had you stayed in texas so long, even after your friends had graduated, moved away? because you didn't know how to leave, how to follow them, or what to do, with the unending wreckage inside you. it's strange — cathartic in a selfish way, to see the very same reflected in someone else's eyes.
Tumblr media
leland clears his throat, concentrating on the forest floor instead; ❝ i'm... real far — from what happened to me, ❞ he choose his words slowly, cautiously. ❝ but, turns out — it doesn't much matter where i go. i think, maybe, i'll always be dragging that place behind me, y'know? ❞

Mohan smiles the smile of his, meant to be playful and friendly, but there is a malice hidden behind his teeth. " You look like you carry a heavy secret on you. I love secrets, @vihilum's reed. "

❛ you want a sprite? you look kinda green. ❜ surprise me. For reed.
the bear.
there is a long history behind this, on that she isn't ready to speak of. shattered mirrors and ripped photos and the expectations all broken with them. nobody else struggled like her in this, a streak that her parents had simply contributed as her being the youngest of many, an anomaly in an already abnormal family. she could not learn to play her part, and so she had left (ran) to the other side of the states.
here, where it should not have happened. here, where she hurries along, sick to her stomach. here, where her reflection catches in the window, and it's the only thing that makes her pause. a check over her features, that it was still all her after shifting back, down to the last blemish of skin. ( years and years and years, and she had said she would never take anyone's face ever again -- )
Tumblr media
" -- i'm fine. " attention snaps back, and her expression clouds once more into something guarded and moody. " -- it's fine. "

Her eyes go wide as she catches a glimpse of him. Ellie had a hunch that something is not quite right when Tommy went all silent on her, the look confirmed it.
"Do you want me to stop? Are you dizzy, @vihilum?" It could be motion sickness, Ellie guesses, or the fact her car looks like straight out of a horror movie. Blood, black bags, tools and etcetera everywhere. She has not cleaned it yet.
The last thing she is missing is a vomit on her dashboard, her foot hovering over the brake.

⭐️ reedjude bonus feature
for each “⭐️” i get, i’ll write a headcanon about our muses.
jude almost kissed reed once. they were still teenagers, goofing off at a house party. while they were sitting on the porch outside and sharing a joint, the thought crossed jude's mind. he held back on it and didn't try anything after. this was right before they got distant and stopped hanging out, before reed disappeared from his life altogether.
when they're adults and jude visits reed at the theater during his shifts. he brings food usually, they sit and watch whatever movie is playing.
at some point, jude gives reed a key to his apartment. says it's for him to crash or bother him or whatever, but really jude just likes him close by.

i'm liddel's #1 fan [holds up a banner] ❤️
what a coincidence because you're actually her favourite fan. (probably something to do with the fact that she thinks your boy reed is cute)

Frying pan spat hot oil onto his bare stomach, hand idly itched just under the waistband, ash from the smoke jutting out the corner of his mouth fell off, into the pan, "hungry?"

@vihilum // tommy said on the phone: ‘ i’m always here for you. ’
It should be the other way around, Weston feels — it should be Weston supporting Tommy. Weston being strong. Weston being reliable.
It was Tommy who needed a place to crash and found himself on Weston's couch, allowing Weston to feel a rare sense of control over his own life. Weston got to be the competent one, for once. But somehow, this dynamic has become just like every other dynamic in Weston's life. His relationship with his parents, his sister, his other friends — he's always taking, needing. Like a little boy, a child.
He frowns at his phone, feeling a little sick and disgusted. By himself, of course — not by Tommy.
"Cut the — cut the — cut the bullshit, man," is what Weston says instead, eager to create distance between his current self and the pathetic, whiny version of himself that Tommy so clearly sees.
"I've already got a therapist. I don't need you to — to — t-to pick me apart." He sighs. "Or whatever it is you're tr-tr-tr-trying to do." No thank you. No you too. Weston feels proud of how he's handled this, though. Good job, Weston. Way to push people away, way to ensure you'll be alone forever!
