ruins everything. garretts the one who sparked her interest in languages. instead of telling her what she could do, he told her that she couldn’t just be a good fighter, she had to be better than any of the men applying. he started teaching her russian && if she wasn’t training, she had to practice her french && spanish until she was perfect.

 



HEADCANON: aliases

name: katelyn west
age: 33
profession: historian (specializing in ww2)

born in louisiana, her parents put all their savings into putting her through college. reserved && quiet she met her future husband at a student get together her professor had organised ;; a forward && ambitious man, henry west was a classics major just a year older than herself. married two years after graduation, when he was offered a job at the university of phoenix in 2005 && he took it whilst she stayed behind to help care for her father. following him three months later, he secured her a position as a guest speaker for a short time until she could find a permanent job. following his death three weeks later in a tragic accident that also killed another professor, she left the university.

mission details: agent g.ward brought in to assist agent j.hall in the final month of the operation. seducing professor d.jones, she confirmed the target && retrieved the stolen information. agent hall killed jones later that week (authorized by: CONFIDENTIAL) && the two staged a car crash && faked hall’s death, leaving agent ward’s cover intact under orders from agent j.garrett. 

 



ruins everything. grace is possibly the worst person to share a bed with while she’s used to the nightmares it’s not uncommon for her to fall out of bed in the middle of one (she has a lot of bruises she refuses to explain bc of it) && she’ll be damned if she doesn’t take the blanket with her. unless there’s cuddles, cuddling usually helps chase the nightmares away bc she knows she’s safe.

 



       she’s six && a half  (  nearly seven ! ’  )  when her older brother dutifully takes her ahead to their grandfathers room in the hospital. she runs straight to him despite the snide comments christian mutters under his breath, not noticing for a second how pale the man in the bed is. she had been asking to go see him for days && knows she might not see him again for a long time mother had fallen out with gramsy after all. 

       she curls into his side && he laughs about how  s i l l y  she’s being  (  her grandfather is invincible after all, he’ll be home in days  )  but he still runs his hand through her long hair && holds her as tightly as he can with weak arms. she falls asleep there && when they wake her up to go she clings to him ;; BEGS to stay despite knowing she’ll suffer for it later. the bruises on her arm still ache from where her mothers nails had dug into the soft skin. 

       they grudgingly agree only when he steps in && tells them to GO, he’ll get someone to take her home later. she watches the clock the entire time willing it to go slower, to give them more time, but it only seems to go faster. with little time left he tells her to lie down with him because he has a story to tell her. 

      he tells her the story of how he met gramsy, how they fell in love, && she hangs on every word. he tells her about how everyone around them didn’t want them together && how it nearly didn’t work out but they loved each other so much they found a way to make it work. 

      he tells her it’s not a love story  (  no dot, it’s not a love story. it’s about fighting for what you want  )  but she still thinks of it as one. it’s the greatest love story she knows && the only one that doesn’t end in tragedy she’ll ever believe in. he dies that same week && she cries && cries && when she goes to the grave clutching her grandmothers hand she sees the cactus from their windowsill there. when she thinks of what to buy kara twenty years later she thinks back to the only good love story she knows. 

             i bought your grandmother roses && gave them to her the day i met her but they died a few days later. when i asked her to marry me i gave her a cactus —- yeah, one of those spiky things. flowers don’t last forever but a cactus can live for over a hundred years even when it’s tough ;; i thought it showed our love would last too.   

                                                    she hopes she has the same luck.

THE HARD-BOILED DETECTIVE

key characteristics: cynical, moralistic, brave, attentive

your view of the world may have been soured by your experiences, but you aren’t one to give up easily. your experiences have simply reaffirmed your moral code, and you expect those you interact with to live by it. you have a rough exterior that might make you unpopular. on the inside, however, you deeply care about the people who come to you for help, and will find the strength within yourself to help them in the face of insurmountable odds.

film recommendations: the big sleep, the maltese falcon, devil in a blue dress

Archetype Quiz 

So the quiz is here, standard repost don’t reblog  rules apply.

                                                  your archetype is the doppelgänger

traits: manipulative, self deprecating, intelligent, knowledgable, ambiguous, caring

the doppelgänger is most commonly used to symbolize the divide between two egos, or a the grey line between good and bad. doppelgängers are extremely intelligent, and are able to manipulate a persons thoughts and feelings for their own benefit. while they are seen as a darker character, they are closer to being morally ambiguous, if not, someone who has been forced into a position they never agreed upon. doppelgängers wish they could do better, and often find themselves regretting not doing something. while they are capable of manipulating others, they are vulnerable, making themselves susceptible to being manipulated as well. although many of their traits are negative, they crave attention, validation, and wish they could be a better version of themselves. if you can get under their hard exterior, you’ll find a true friend, and a loyalist.  

fictional characters that are doppelgängers: severus snape, draco malfoy, credence barebone, luke castellan, sherlock holmes, anakin skywalker, bruce wayne, spike (btvs), angel (btvs), faith lehane, daryl dixon, selina kyle, natasha romanoff, regulus black

other personality types that go with this: hades, wampus, horned serpent, slytherin

demensheid LOST THEIR WAY.

past frick u kita

       she wakes up at dawn on christmas morning but feels no excitement. she’s known father christmas isn’t real since she was six && her mother told her to GROW UP  (  it wasn’t long ago her mother warned her not to tell thomas the same. christian told him just to be nasty but she got both the blame && the belt for hurting his childhood.  )

       she’s already finding clothes when thomas runs in && the bruises on her back && arms remind her to smile, to feign EXCITEMENT like they both don’t alredy know today will be a show rather than a family affair. constant smiles, pictures taken like it’s a press event, being left with a nanny who would rather be anywhere but there.

       (  she misses gramsy. misses the real christmas after their parents left them with her, how she would make a christmas dinner for them herself && bring out the presents she bought months before && sing songs with them around the piano. christmas went away with gramsy two years ago, && now it’s her RESPONSIBILITY to make sure thomas has the best Christmas possible.  )

       she sits between thomas && christian at every opportunity, distracts christian every time she thinks he’s going to take his FRUSTRATION out on thomas && knows she’ll get hell for it when the nanny calls her friend after sending them to bed – she doesn’t look her father in the eye all day && winces every time she has to pose with him for a photo && feels his heavy hand on her shoulder  ( he’d gripped her arm so hard only days before she thought it might break.  ) 

       she sits with thomas in his room that night, they sit under the blankets with a flashlight && she tells him a story gramsy used to tell her when she couldn’t sleep. she wishes the day could end there, with them sharing a genuine smile – she goes back to her room instead && faces christian’s anger but she doesn’t cry. gramsy always said you don’t cry at christmas
