❝ daddy doesn't need to know. ❞

((Out of context, this sounds like some taboo step siblings thing and my brain can’t think of anything else. Either relationship or illegalities - not surprising with them - or drugs or something. Teen AU?))

“True, but he’s bound to find out.”

(The only bit I had was there are at least three people they could be hiding shit from and it’s definitely a fucking body-)

“Not if we fucking clean up properly-” Elizabeth strained as she hauled the mauled corpse of a man by his left ankle to her car. “I’m 17 I’m supposed to be planning my career, not–….fending for my fucking life.”

Sebastian shook his head as he helped lift the rest of the body into the car. “Yeah, well, our lives are just fucking dandy aren’t they?” he grunted. “At least we’re the ones that are still alive at the end of the day, though.” He leant against the car when the body was finally inside.

“Believe me, I gave up planning for a “normal” career when I killed him,” he said, carefully helping to arrange the body a bit better.

“Mnnh-” With a final shove the weight was placed into the car so she could shut the door on the matter for now, fumbling in her pockets to find her keys. “Yeah but that’s h i m. Me? My parents adore me, I’m set for life, I’ve got potential apparently and a thousand opportunities ahead of me…I feel like I shouldn’t still be stuck here with the consequences of my actions from months ago-”

Lizzy had naively for some reason figured that killing a drug lord and selling his business through a series of weird circumstances would be the end of the mess, but now she had powerful enemies that she had never even met before coming for her life at every corner and she was held back from moving on.

Sebastian shook his head, closing his eyes and sighing. “Yeah, things that that don’t always work out, though, do they? But you really could do anything. Sure you’ll have people after you, but you could just keep me around to keep those threats away,” he suggested.

tigerwithasniper asked:

"I've never really belonged anywhere."

“Who says you have to belong anywhere in particular? I had to learn a long time ago, that life isn’t about b e l o n g i n g anywhere. It’s about finding a purpose in your life, fulfilling it, and sticking to it. You live for yourself. Nobody else.”

Sebastian clenched his fists. “That’s the thing, though, Liz. I don’t know my purpose anymore. Everything’s changed so much and I don’t know if this is what I want anymore. I hate it!” he shouted, banging his fists on the table.

The fists hitting the table made the young woman jump back, losing her focus for a moment with the conversation. “…a thought did cross my mind last night about this, Sebastian.” Elizabeth spoke gently, settling once again into her seat properly. “….and it may have something to do with uh. Some finances I recently came to possess. Last night. Have you considered…l e a v i n g?? We could do it. Together. Leaving, that is. Not. Not other. Things…”

Sebastian didn’t look up at her, opting to stare at his fists. They were still healing from his latest fight, knuckles scabbed over. “All I’ve ever thought about has been leaving. Ever since the beatings started, especially since I took care of my father. But this place is all I’ve ever known.”

He let her last comment breeze by him, though. “And I couldn’t let you pay for it all; I’d owe you too much. And where would we go? It’s not like I have any legally acceptable skills and I don’t know anything else I want to do.”

There was a nurturing urge within her that urged her to give those knuckles the gentlest of kisses, her best way of trying to bring someone comfort in these times. She pushed aside those thoughts though, she had priorities.

“No no–no. You wouldn’t owe me a damn t h i n g.” Elizabeth pressed insistently. “I’m talking b i l l i o n s at 17, darling.” She whispered loudly, grinning excitedly at this new prospect that had come up for her. “We could go ANYWHERE in the fucking w o r l d! Fuck it! P l e a s e do this with me?”

Sebastian was silent, not raising his eyes to meet hers. The reality of this opportunity hit him quickly and he realized that they actually could leave, no strings attached, no waiting, no anything - just leave.The weight of this realization hit him with a new wave of tears and he swallowed tightly.

The tears were hot as they rolled silently down his cheeks and he sniffed softly. “Where would we go?” he whispered, almost scared that if he spoke too loud, this would all end up being a dream and he would wake up at the bottom of the stairs he’d been pushed down earlier that night.

“Literally fucking a n y w h e r e.” Elizabeth pressed, pausing and watching him process this for a second. “Look-” She sniffed and got up, crossing her room to find a globe, bringing it back to stand between them.

She gave it a spin, watching it go round. “Pick somewhere. Anywhere you want to go. Because truth is, if we go and it’s not for us? We can just set off for somewhere else too~” Lizzy beamed, eyes glittering with excitement.

Sebastian shook his head, hastily wiping away his tears with the heel of his palms. “I don’t know. I don’t really know where I’d want to go to live. I’ve only ever thought about doing visits for holiday or something. I just want to be anywhere but here,” he admitted. He ended up just staring at the globe as it spun.

“In which case-” Elizabeth reached out and abruptly stopped the globe, holding it between her two hands for a few seconds before she settled back on her butt on the floor. “How’s your french?” She asked him curiously, slowly leaning back to lay down on the floor beside him, staring at the ceiling was how a lot of her matters seemed to get solved.

Sebastian just stared at her for a moment. Disbelief came back and hit him and he sputtered as his brain tried to think of a response. “Uh, I mean, it’s uh, kind of terrible. I haven’t practiced a ton and have forgotten a bunch of what I’ve learned.”

Elizabeth lifted her hands in mock surrender. “Alright no problem, we don’t have to go for Paris. What about the states? There’s a million places over there where n o o n e could find us, we would be fine!” The globe was frantically spun until she found the massive expanse of land and studied it closely. “I have no clue what half of these places are…” she murmured.

He still had a hard time believing this was actually possible and happening. Sebastian found himself nodding, though, “Yeah, I guess the states would work. It’s far enough away and I doubt he’d ever think of looking for me there,” he added in an aside, “If he ever came looking anyway.”

tigerwithasniper answered:

“i can’t breathe, i can’t –”

Sebastian was instantly alert, slowly helping her to sit. “Look at me. Focus on me. Take a breath for me.”

“N-” Elizabeth panicked and faltered on her struggle again. “I c-a n t-!” she squeaked out hoarsely, desperately panicked that this was out of her hands even as he tried to help her sit.

Sebastian couldn’t help her that much without knowing what was wrong. He knew that she would likely pass out momentarily as her brain was deprived of oxygen. “What happened?” She didn’t seem to be choking, so he thought it was either a panic attack or something worse. “You’re going to be fine; I’m right here.” He was already pulling out his phone, ready to call an ambulance.

Nothing in their kitchen would have given her a panic attack, not even that giant spider living in the biscuit cupboard (which happens to be why Lizzy makes Sebastian get her snacks for her), this was absolutely the worst case. Murder attempt yet to be determined as successful. “Wrong t-” Elizabeth shut her eyes tightly and clutched at her chest. “-ea-” her vision blurred and the room shifted for a brief moment.

Sebastian was already dialing emergency when she mentioned the tea. He left her for a moment to grab the cup she’d drank from earlier. There was still a bit left in the bottom and he knew the paramedics would need it to identify whatever it was she’d ingested.

He hurried back to her side, checking her pulse and head temperature. Worriedly, he patted her cheek. “Hey, hey, stay with me, love. Do you know who gave you this? Do you know what it was?”

Struggling to breathe was exhausting her faster than she would have liked, and Elizabeth definitely positively h a t e d being unable to control her own body. That has never led to good things before and she learned to fear it.

“Uhh…uh-uh…” she managed, slowly and drowsily shaking her head as she tried to blink herself out of her daze. Her chest heaved again in a desperate grasp for air, but all processes seemed to be slowing down. Everything was b u r n i n g inside, which kept adding to her frustration and distress while she was stuck there unable to do a thing against it.

#lovemorgupaludan #what's their relationship in this

Sebastian quickly talked to the operator, not wasting any more time than he already had. He kept a tight hold of Elizabeth’s hand, worriedly watching her. After he’d hung up, he shook his head.

“The ambulance is on its way. I can’t help you here, I’m sorry. But you’ve gotta stay with me until then, alright? I can’t give you cpr with poison, then we’d both be dying and I can’t have that.”

Let’s look closer

So, I was watching the first Iron Man again and got to thinking how the electromagnet and subsequent arc reactor would fit inside a human male chest. What would be the complications? What bones, muscles, etc would be affected? How would this all go together for human anatomy?

Let’s take a look.

First things first, let’s dig into the first couple images we are given of the electromagnet:

Right away, you can see that the skin is actually being forced away from it’s natural position covering the sternum. The shadows in the first picture in particular show it almost bunched up or rolled almost, being pushed out of it’s natural position by this giant chunk of metal. And it’s obvious by the blood that this is still a very clear and open wound. In a dirty, damp cave in Afghanistan. The risk for infection at this moment is through the roof. Over the three months, it’s able to heal and the skin fits into it’s new position, where it started to look like this:

But, until that time, just imagine the level of pain that would give. There is a chuck of metal inside your chest that has no business of being there. Your body is going to naturally want to push it out. The skin is going to regrow around and maybe even into the housing that holds the magnet/reactor. Just thinking about that hurts!

Let’s go deeper. Let’s look at the muscular system of a human male

Now that reactor/magnet is not small. It sits right in the middle of Tony’s chest. Meaning it has either gone through or has pushed back the pectoralis major muscle group and possibly i even pressing down on the rectus sheath. Your muscles look like that for a reason, they’re supposed to be in this position. So to have a holding chamber and magnet disturb that probably doesn’t feel too nice.

Let’s go even farther and check out the skeletal system:

This is a diagram of the average male skeletal chest system. Tony’s arc reactor is located in the center of his chest. And if we look, the arc reactor goes in pretty deep.

Pepper is able to fit almost her entire hand into Tony’s chest. Now, if you take your own hand and press it to the center of your chest, you can clearing feel your sternum. Meaning, not only did the reactor affect the muscles, but it virtually destroyed Tony’s sternum, either in part or completely. The wideness of the housing chamber also pretty much guarantees that a few of Tony’s ribs are no longer connected to his sternum and are most likely pressed against the chamber. The integrity of Tony’s chest bone is basically non-existent once that thing gets put in.

The average thickness of a human sternum doesn’t go above 17 millimeters. Meaning the arc reactor is not only touching the sternum, it went straight through it.

And finally, the heart:

A human’s heart is typically located right behind the breast bone and slightly to the left. Now, taking into account how big the reactor/holding chamber is and how thin the sternum is, it’s entirely possible the reactor could be partially inside Tony’s heart, or at least touching it.

Just imagine that. A giant piece of metal that folds your skin, messes up your muscles, destroys your sternum and possible reaching your heart. No wonder Tony is so protective of it!

"Hey! Why'd you do that?!"

((Maybe a high school/uni verse?))

Sebastian shook his head, gathering up his books. “Sorry, didn’t see you there.”

"...But how did this happen? I don't remember anything..." drunken Lizzy times..

Sebastian looked at her, still waking up and trying to piece things together himself. “I don’t know. I don’t think I was with you all night.”

Helpful Reminders for Paragraph-Based RPing

pontmercym:

Hello friends! I’ve been RPing for at least 7 years with many different characters, and one thing that I find pretty common is nervousness/insecurity about para-based RPing. So I decided to make a quick guide of things to keep in mind and little bits of etiquette too, because even seasoned folks want some pointers now and then.

(I am by no means an authority on this! Obviously these rules aren’t universal, but they’re a good starting point!)

What to include in your post:

What your character says- This is generally the most important aspect of the RP. The dialogue between characters is important as it guides the flow of the thread. (Obviously not if your thread is more action-based, like a fight or sex, but this rule generally applies.) If you don’t have enough dialogue, it may be harder for your partner to think of a way to reply. But if you have too much dialogue, it may be difficult for your partner to get a word in edgewise where necessary. Instead of filling your whole post with dialogue, consider these other things to add..
What your character does- When you’re having a real conversation with someone, you don’t stand there motionless. You may be walking somewhere, you might move your hands, you’re almost always going to have a facial expression. Describe these things! It helps to make the thread more realistic, and it helps your partner to get an idea of what you were thinking when you wrote your post.
Icons and GIFs are really helpful tools for this! If you have some of your faceclaim, use them! Otherwise, make some or search Tumblr tags for reaction images. (never claim something as your own if it isn’t!) Most posts will limit the amount of icons to one or maybe two so as not to distract from the thread.
What your character feels- Important to give readers and partners an insight into why your character says/does what they do. This helps to discern voice tone, too- if your character is being sarcastic, you don’t want your partner to think they were being intentionally rude!
What your character thinks- This is similar to the above point. But take caution when using thoughts/inner monologue- since your partner will almost never be able to know exactly what your character is thinking, it is important to also give your partner something in the post that they are able to play off of and respond to.

It takes practice to find a good balance between these aspects, but I find it helpful to run through all of these and see what I can add if I find my response is too short.

Length! When writing a reply, it is helpful and considerate to try and match the length of your partner’s reply. They took the time to write it out, and it makes everyone feel good to see that you took just as much time. It also makes it easier for them to reply in return. Obviously it is sometimes difficult to match the length of your partner, but most RPers use the general rule that you try to at least match half of their length.

If you still struggle with length, look at the above list of things to include in your post and see what you can add. Or consider…

Description! Describing your character’s surroundings is also a helpful tool. Your character is probably 99% of the time not going to be in an empty void. What do they interact with? What do they see? Think of the five senses. This is a great way to add length to your post if you are struggling.

When using description, one must still be careful. Try to avoid purple prose, and don’t spend so much time describing the environment that you neglect to move the plot along or give your partner something to respond to.
Also keep in mind that setting the scene is important when starting a thread.

Other guidelines/etiquette to keep in mind:

Godmodding- Most people are familiar with this. Basically, godmodding is when an RPer takes control of/decides the actions of another player without permission. It’s like the biggest faux pas in the RP community. So just be careful, ask your partner if you’re unsure of something, and don’t make too many assumptions about your partner’s character.
Threads with more than 2 characters- It happens sometimes and can be really fun! If you plan something out, make sure all players involved are aware of it. Also, it is Very Important to set a reply order to avoid accidentally skipping turns, or worse- people replying to different people and the thread splitting and nobody knowing who replies to what when. I can’t even explain how confusing and frustrating this is, so avoid it at All Costs if you can.
Don’t jump into someone else’s thread. This also can make things awkward. Two characters might even be talking about your character, but threads are closed and don’t involve you. If you want a part in the action, it is best to privately message the player(s) involved and discuss it with them then. They might just do a new separate thread with you.
If you have questions, ask. Confused about your partner’s reply? Want to plot? Wondering what to do next? Just message your partner. It’s always okay, honestly. So many people just Don’t Do This and I have no idea why.
Check out your partner’s about and rules page, if they have one. Do this BEFORE you start interacting with a new character. The player might have specific rules that apply to you, triggers you need to know Not to Use, or helpful headcanons that might make your replies a lot easier if you know them. I can’t stress enough: please do this. We all put a lot of time into these pages so that they can be a resource to our partners.
