#fudge it

"Eventually, I will no longer drown from the overflowing of an empty cup"

Pre-Morrison Talia would be the kind of love poets would write for.

Talia al Ghul, with all her history, faults, and flaws, have no means to have had so much love for the people she cherish. But she does...she does.

"We are immortals, Habibi. When others say they love forever, they lie. But we don't have the same luxury. For people like us, forever means eternity, beyond death and even after. It is a curse, my heart. Our curse. For such promise meant to taint such noble feelings— And yet, I will never apologize for loving you."

You may heard this " fuding the books" or " You fudge it "  The expression comes from Captain Fudge, known as Lying Fudge. He was the captain of the Black Eagle which was to transport 55 Quakers in August 1665 from the Newgate to the colonies as a punishment for offfences against the Conventicle Act. Delayed at Gravesend, by October 19 prisoners and some crew members had died of the plague. Fudge was arrested for dept and his remaining crew mutinied.

In February 1666 the ship at last left for the West Indies, but was seized by a Dutch privateer and the Quakers were freed. Israel d'Israeli, the father of the Prime Minister Benjamin D' Israeli, wrote in 1791: There was, sir, in our time one Captain Fudge, who upon his return from a voyage, how ill- fraught soever hos books, always brought home a good cargo of lies, so much that now aboard ship the sailors, when they hear a great lie, cry out " You fudge it!"

I just - you're amazing! Like...from the get go.

I legit don't know what it is. And you know what? I don't even know how our friendship started considering we've never had a proper DM conversation XD

The most I can recall is just yeeting myself into your Asks and it's like we've always been friends. I get sad when I don't see you in my newsfeed as much (silly because, y'know, I can also just DM you like a normal human being), and this is coming from someone who always can be online but not post XD

Tumblr fate really went 'GOOD MORNING STAR-SHINES YOUR NEW FRIEND SAYS HELLO'

YOU'RE JUST THE FUCKING SWEETEST OKAY. TAKE THE DAMN COMPLIMENT.

I promise I will slide into your DMs like a creep, okay?

But...oh... You are literally a bestie. I have 100% appointed myself as your wingman AND your RIO. Both positions have already been filled me be. No-one can have you. Okay that sounded toxic.

You honestly give the sweetest vibes. You're just that type of person I can come online and just vibe with. You have the vibiest vibes. I adore that. I adore you.

I love your blog at a 95% statistic. 80% because it's you. 15% because you reblog some quality content and I get some mutual stuff delivered directly to my doorstep (Top Gun etc) -5% is for the missing writing that I cannot wait to see!!! Speaking of, I need to put in some writing requests for you. Secretly love me some Private Jackson from SPR.

I just really really heccin' adore you.

We gotta be platonic soulmates in some past life. Surely? Like. A five minute friendship that feels like we've been friends since forever isn't just a random happening?

Anywho -
