A lot of teenagers act like they're invincible. Nobody actually wants it to be that way. Most people wake up every day knowing somewhere in the back of their minds that it'll be over someday, that there's a light at the end of the tunnel where things won't be as complicated. Where it won't hurt. Where they can finally just rest.I don't get that ( Read more... )

[ When the video cuts in, it’s Claire sitting on a bed that’s really obviously not her room. For those who live in or have visited Casa de Serial Killer, it’s recognizably Sylar’s. It’s around the time of Adam and Peter’s wedding, and where is she instead? Here. In a baggy t-shirt and boy shorts ( Read more... )

So, I'm working on this, like, "For Dummies" guide thing for Earth and I keep getting stuck. I mean, for people like me who are from an Earth world, it's all kind of, you know, normal. I guess what I'm saying is I don't know what I should explain and what people don't need explained ( Read more... )

[ When the video cuts in, it's a shot of the ground of Ariel's Grotto in Disneyland -- the date in the corner says it's from yesterday.  But it quickly flips over to catch the round, blonde-framed face of Claire Bennet, who scrutinizes it for a minute. ]

Uh right. It should be recording. [ She shrugs, raising an eyebrow at Zuko and then awkwardly ( Read more... )

Well, it's official. As of August, I'll be an incoming freshman of Arlington University!!! I got the letter today. Which, I guess I should probably complain is stupid, because I've got a semester's worth of courses so I shouldn't technically be freshman material, but honestly I'm kind of relieved at not being hurled head first into the shark ( Read more... )

I need to know if there are any worldhoppers here who can teleport into small spaces on short notice. Nate? Are you free? There's a guy here who could use your help. He's in Japan - in my world apparently. I don't know, maybe it's not my timeline, but ( Read more... )

[ It's butt-ass early in the Fire Nation morning and Claire still has bed head and a thin-strapped camisole on, looking generally disheveled. She's a classy lady and it's fucking early and she got distracted from her morning routine by ... ]

Anybody else wake up with one of these? [ She holds her wrist up in front of the camera, a thing red ( Read more... )

Okay, first of all: I need a lift home from the Fire Nation sometime soon. I'm approaching the three week mark and I'm pretty sure my dad will wind up, like, flipping his lid or something if I make it past a month. [ That, and virus Zuko kinda freaked her out and she likes distance to deal with these things. ]

And on a totally separate note. ( Read more... )

If one more person on this stupid community forgets me, I swear I'm gonna explode. I mean, it shouldn't even matter, right? But, every time a new one piles on it's like another knife in my back and I feel like I can't breathe.

I've lost so much already, I can't lose the people here who matter to me too. [ She shuts her eyes and rubs them with ( Read more... )

Travel tip: if any of you have plans to head the way of the Fire Nation, I suggest brushing up on your … I don't even know. What this is, Japanese? Chinese? The books are all in Chinese. I don't know if this elaborate blob of ink is supposed to mean elephant, oak tree, or "simmer for fifteen minutes or until golden-brown."
