Wasteland is not really a great place to have a child.

i COULD fix him, but whatever the hell is wrong with him is way funnier.

Any day now. Right? Right.

Here's hoping!

What are you gonna do if, by the time you find her, she's not pregnant anymore?

I am not having this baby today.

"Glad to see someone's following my reading suggestions."

|| when the mistborn movie and the stormlight series come out I WILL be interacting

Ash as a name? But will people think she's named after the pokemon trainer?

Call me one of the ten fools for how badly today has gone.

I'll take that Jedi are real if I could also make a few things not-real.

You know, all the warning labels for new parents on literally everything because these companies don't want to be liable for any mistakes? They really stress me out. The good news is, the nursery is almost done! Just some finishing touches to add.

"I think I heard if you look at the bridge of their nose it looks like you're giving them eye contact?"

Hah, not yet. Close! A few more days...

I want to give my daughter the most normal life I can. I guess every hero or vigilante that's had children has that goal, and they all manage it to some extent. It would be a lot easier if she didn't have powers.

|| thinking of doing some "chapters" of her history here to summarize past events. The carrd has the info but it isn't sorted very well.

"Yikes."

"You really think that's a good idea?"

lowkey agreeing with the Doc here.

Mended things can still learn to love.

"Humans communicate a lot through the eyes, so, yeah. It's pretty important. Some people it stresses them out, others demand it. It's confusing."

"That's not the *weirdest* item I've heard of that bestows some kind of power... it'd be awkward to wear it all the time, though. A concealing spell is definitely a good idea." Cienn chuckled mirthlessly at the last line. "Yeah. Very. A lot of my customers from here try not to look me in the eye."

"Well that's weird. I've had something very similar happen to me. Also appreciated when people didn't question it. It got really exhausting to answer questions over and over again."

I can't wait to hit up the gym. Uuuugh.

"...I think that's comforting."

Hmm. Can you die from dehydration? I'm thinking maybe not.

Two of you are already drunk?

"That sounds familiar. How's she holding up?"

|| I got a headache so I'm gonna sleep but I'll be around in spurts tomorrow

Doc said I might need a wheelchair and I didn't take that very well.

[shaking her head] You don't have anything to apologize for. Not to me, at least. I know. I want you to keep trying.

[snorting softly] that's the best way to put that. You really do have a way with words.

I've never thought of forgetting about something as a solution. You have to find a way to work through it. It's not easy to do, or start, and that's part of the point, I think. As much as the point sucks. It's also not fun to hear that, either.

"Oh, absolutely. Do you have someone like that?"

"Yeah... sorry about, uh, me. My attitude has been shit lately and you didn't deserve me lashing out at you."

|| she really just wants to hug Kara and make all her problems go away lmao

"It actually depends a lot on location. In some areas with humidity, there may not be that much of a difference, but in areas with low humidity there can be a pretty big difference. There are a lot of other factors too - but basically, yeah, most shadows are at least a little colder."

"It always felt like it'd be easy for me to fit into a team, but I never made it a goal for very long, and I felt like I was always second to Raven on the Titans."

"...okay. Sure."

Shut up Evelyn.

"IT HASN'T BEEN THAT LONG!"

"Shadow manipulation. How much warmth do you think there is in a shadow?"

"I do tend to be a downer." Nodding her head repeatedly. "Came with the whole gig."

Well I am hot AND pregnant. So. You're right. How big's your sample size though, two people? Me and your wife?

Throwing it away? Nah. I think if you look at life as what you've accomplished, you can trap yourself behind looking at you and your life as some kind of productivity trap. You are alive and experiencing life. It's more that, there's a lot more to experience than what you've tasted so far.

"I idolized Superman for having qualities I did not."

My magic is mostly useful for nullifying other magic.

"Ooooh they might be!"

[patient chuckle] So alcohol, and getting into fights. And you don't have any other hobbies? Dance? Any kind of entertainment? Audiobooks?
