Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice someone could make was to live for something, to allow it to consume you and turn you into a version of yourself you didn’t recognize. Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed.
Why you do this to me😭😭
Yeah, Kaz saved Inej in the harbor.
Yeah, he carried her to the schooner and they got her healed.
Yeah, she ended up making it.
But what if she didn’t?
What if her last words were “say you’re sorry.”
I mean, you can already bet Kaz was losing it over the thought of having another Jordie in his arms, the water already rising in his lungs. But Inej gone? He probably hated to believe it. This man was so scared he was literally running without a cane.
BUT IF HER LAST WORDS ASKED HIM TO APOLOGIZE???
Cuz I would’ve lost it.
Apologize for what? Why?
Just imagine him thinking she wanted him to apologize for not coming sooner, for not saving her faster. Just imagine the regret and guilt that would’ve festered inside him, pleading with him to give up.
This man would’ve been so broken people would not have been able to walk past him without fear for their life. He would’ve taken a whole new meaning for Dirtyhands; I bet he’d simply kill every member of all the other gangs for the fun of it, no remorse or pity for anyone or anything.
He wouldn’t care. He’d do it for the Wraith. Only he wouldn’t have a saint to believe in anymore.

Adam: I have very high standards.
Olive: *washing her eyes because of using expired contacts*
Adam:
Adam: Oh no she's meeting all my standards.
it's that merlin always wanted to die for love and now he has to live for it and it's agonising and cruel and brutal and the idea of that going unrewarded until the end of time makes me want to uhhhh bash my head into a wall! lol!
My comfort character is peter parker, but I don't get comfort from him. He is the one getting comfort from me. I want to hug him and make his pain go away because he doesn't deserve any of it. I want him to feel safe again. I want to see him smile everyday, but also want him to cry as his lungs tear up because he needs to show his pain. But most importantly, I want him to be happy with his family and friends.
I'm his comfort character now.

being indian. growing up with chota bheem and sinchan. slipping words of your mothertongue into english. Starbucks is cool but have you had ₹10 ka chai/coffee on a winter night? Branching out to listen to different kinds of music but realizing the best kind was always your own. dancing to balam pichkari during holi and coming to school with purple faces and pink hands. maybe you like pasta or pizza but comfort food is always maggi on rainy mornings. playing lagori on the streets and coming home with bleeding knees. Yeah marvel movies are nice but have you watched kuch kuch hota hai? wedding lunches on banana leaves and vanilla ice-cream after. holding hands in secret so that the neighbour wali aunties don’t see. ‘XOX’ and ‘bingo’ in the back of classmate notebooks. Festivals, festivals and more festivals. no matter how much you like wearing modern clothes dressing up in dhotis and lehengas is a different feeling. Watching every India-Pakistan match with a fervent intensity and uncles shouting that the umpire isn’t fair. eating golgappe under the shelter while it’s raining. being indian. and realizing that you love it.
