(I hope I did what you wanted, I wasn’t sure to understand the last part.)

“The path of therighteous man…” She’s chosen the words herself, a little jokebetween Nick and her that no one else could really understand. Not alot of persons attended the funerals. Most of those who might havecouldn’t make it. A lot of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents where still outthere, running to avoid getting caught and interrogated by the U.S.government, or looking for more Hydra agent on the loose after thefall of S.H.I.E.L.D. She didn’t mind and Nick probably didn’tmind either. He was there too, in disguise, claiming to anyone who’dask that he was Jake Fury, his own brother. Many didn’t even knowFury had had a brother, and that was for the better. Jake wasn’t apleasant guy, and if they’d knew about him they’d also know thathe couldn’t walk freely at his brother’s funerals. But after all,that was all classified.

“Ms. Hill.”

She turned to facenone other than the World Security Council, all members here, all ofthem wearing black as if they really were mourning Fury. Mariacouldn’t stand them. There had been a time where she’d thoughtshe could trust them, but she’d only been their puppet.

“All ourcondolences. We know you’d started to like Fury.” She wants tolaugh. What a joke. They knew the truth. She didn’t like it butthey knew it. They’d been saved by Fury himself but of coursethey’d played along. Fury off the picture, wasn’t it all they’dalways wanted?

“I’m alright. Itmight be better like that. He’d go crazy, watching what he workedso long to maintain suddenly falling apart. And I guess you’re nottoo sad about it. Wasn’t getting rid of Fury what you wished for,three years ago?”

“You know wedidn’t want that. That was a mere disagreement.”

“Such adisagreement that you thought you could take a still young agent andput her in a position of power.” Her voice was cold, but her smilewas still polite, and if you didn’t listen to what she was saying,you could just think they were remembering good memories of Fury.“Too bad for you, you chose the wrong agent. I wasn’t asdependent from you as you thought, wasn’t I?”

They didn’t answer.They know she was right. They’d put her where she was, stuffed herbrain with ideas about Fury that would make her question everything.They wanted Fury to make a mistake and for her to report it. Butafter Manhattan? She trusted that man more than a council whose onlysolution to problems was to nuke a town.

“We’re herebecause we have an offer for you.” Of course they had. Theywouldn’t be there if they didn’t.

“I know whatyou’re going to propose. And it’s a no. S.H.I.E.L.D. is dead andfor real. I don’t answer to you anymore. And I suspect after suchdisasters, no one ever will.” Maria turned and walked to theopposite of the room, but she still heard Councilman Rockwell tellingher:

“None of this wasour fault.”

“Wasn’t it?”

She doesn’t saymore than that, she has a speech to give. She barely see the ceremonytake place, none of this is really important. This is all just fake.A fake dead man attending his own funerals, fake crying people whoreally didn’t care and fake people only there to take opportunitiesto use the funeral to their own advantage. She watches them go withsome kind of relief. She’s done with this.

“Not easy, uh?Stark’s funerals weren’t much better. Carter’s will probably bea bit better, though. She’s loved for real, at least.”

She looks at Nick,who just left Captain America, who’s still near the grave. Maria iswatching them from a distance. Not that she doesn’t want to jointhem, but she knows Steve. She knows he’ll read in her, somehow.He’s always been that good with people, as soon as nothing else wasclouding his opinions.

“The Councilwanted to propose me to lead S.H.I.E.L.D.”

“They’re a bitlate then. They usually are. Not able to see anything before it’sright in front of their eyes.”

Maria shrugs. It wasbetter like that. The less they saw, the less they’d bother her.Not that she cared. But she didn’t want to lose time with them. Shelooked at Fury. Was she going to be able to continue what he’ddone? What Stark and Carter did? No. Probably not. She didn’t evenwant to. What the three of them had had been corrupted by Hydra fromthe start. She would try and do better. Maybe the others wouldn’tunderstand. Maybe will she be seen as a massive bitch who doeswhatever she wants. She didn’t really care. This was bigger thanher. This was a fight that had been fought for decades, and she wasno one but the woman who would do everything to put an end to it.

“So, you ready,Director?” Fury asked, a hand on her shoulder to show his support.

“To give hell toHydra and the kind? I was born ready for it.”

I don’t think I am tbh. I started watching to see how they’d do that tape concept and stuff, but I don’t think I will go further than that. Though not triggered as some others might be, I’m quite uncofortable with everything related to graphic depiction of self harm and stuff, which somehow came quite often on my dash 3 years ago. I don’t mind the talks and all, especially if they’re handled well, but as soon as it’s graphic that’s not for me so I’ll probably stop there.

However, if even just the mention of the show can make you or others uncomfortable, I’ll remember to tag anything I might reblog, even just warnings and stuff. I’ll admit I’m not yet familiar with the triggers and the tagging onto itself (not just triggers tbh) but I’ll try to make sure I remember to tag it, probably with #trigger warning and #13 reasons why so you can block the show even if it doesn’t contain any image or else. I’m sorry you came accross someone who didn’t think about the others and I hope you’ll be okay again.

I found both actually. She’s not the only one for whom I found more than one meaning (Forsythe being one for exemple), because languages have that weird thing about having words that sounds/are written almost the same. Sure, in latin Veronica is Honest Image (Vere Icon), but Veronica is also a derivation of the name Berenice, which means She who brings victory (Pherenike being bring victory and the name being applied to a person and a woman brings a she who). Since greek is technically older than latin, and since I felt more wonnection between that meaning and the character at least in the only two episodes that were out at the time, I chose to go with the greek one. Both were very fitting for Veronica anyway.

I can do the same kind of thing with my own name. Aubane is a derivation from Albane/Alban, which you might know comes from Albus which means white in latin. But it can also be linked to the irish ailbe meaning hawthorne (which is itself inspired from latin sure, but doesn’t have the exact same meaning). Or it might come from welsh name Albanwr meaning From Scotland. For all I know, my name can have a different meaning in swahili, or in mongolian, or in choctaw language. Usually it is up to the parents to tell which meaning they chose the name for, though in my case and many others my parents just liked it. Unless we have Hermione Lodge (or one of the original creators or one of the member of the teams working on the comics or the show) stating canonicaly that she named her after Saint Veronica (which is very likely in an american show i’ll grant you that) I think I can still choose to make a gifset with another possible meaning. Of course you can interprete her name as you want. If to you, True Image resonate more for her, it’s nice. It means we don’t have the same opinion on the character, and that’s great because if she was made the way everyone had the same vision of her, she wouldn’t be as interesting.

I won’t lie and say that I didn’t use wikipedia, but I didn’t use only wikipedia, and when I found more than one meaning, I crossed this referencies and try to see if they appeared multiple time. I also went to the bottom of things since I search for the original Berenice. Of course you could argue that Veronica being a derivation, it doesn’t have the same meaning as the original name, which is possible but then my own name has no meaning on his own and it’s kinda sad some people have names with meanings and some don’t.

I am not an expert in names, nor am I an expert in languages, but I was careful not to just see one meaning and jump on it like it was universal truth. I’ve been doing researches on the internet for more than half of my life now, I think I know by now I can’t trust wikipedia without doublechecking elsewhere. I might not know entirely what I’m doing most of the time, but I still know a bit.

Sure, dear :D

N- Favorite animal?

I’m pretty much a cat/dog person, maybe a little of a dog person, though I’ve never had any animal myself. I have a kinda love for pandas, too. Also, @xylobandandlights had me love otters a lot. But I’ don’t really have a favorite animal.

Q - Favourite flower? 

It’s hard to tell, I’ve never been offered flowers and don’t especially love flowers on themwelves. I like pretty much everything, though I love the likes of calibrachoa a little more than the others. :) (Also wait, there is the poppy! There used to be quite a lot around here at some point, don’t know if they’re gone or I just stopped paying attention, probably both)

Didn’t know if you meant 34 to 36 or just 34 and 36 so I’ll chose to do the latter, ask me again if I was mistaken :)

34) Who did you miss? 

I haven’t exactly missed anyone, since most of my relatives and friends are still close to me. I think I might have missed my best friend since it’s been the second year now we’re not at the same school anymore and though she’s close we don’t see each other as much as we used to. But I talk to her everyday anyway so the missing feeling isn’t very strong and we can still see each other on week-ends.

36) Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2016. 

I’M WRITING THE SINOPSIS ON THE SITE AND THEN THAT’S GOING TO BE WRITING FOR TWO DAYS INSTEAD OF ONE LMAO
