"Her name is Jinx."

dialogue prompts from women and children first by alina grabowski.

i hear women can have it all, these days.

i don't believe in pulling other people into your own mess.

life is too short for meaningless experiences.

they're going to eat you alive out there.

do you love me?

you're very predictable, do you know that?

you shouldn't be out alone after dark.

pity is one of the best ways to get what you want.

fuck everyone but us.

would you come to my funeral?

would you rather live forever, or die tomorrow?

you can't protect me from my own decisions.

don't get old. it's no fun.

don't forget: you can always come home.

if it touches a nerve, it's worth writing about.

writing about it won't make me feel better.

there's nothing more reliable than a teenage boy's sense of humor.

everyone wants to be a hero, don't they?

not all stories are ours to share.

what's the point of talking? what does that change?

do you still think about that night?

this is no time for a pity party.

underestimating yourself isn't useful.

relax. live a little.

childhood trauma? i barely knew her.

stop inventing traumas to explain how fucked up you are.

kids are too old, these days.

being sober here is so fucking depressing.

i love to fuck myself over.

i'm getting tired of feeling sorry for you.

why lie in the face of undeniable evidence?

we all assume there are certain things we aren't capable of.

you're making your 'don't panic' face.

don't let ____ get in your head.

i wish i had a cigarette more than anything else in the world.

tell me what happened, and i'll help you figure out what to do.

there isn't as much truth in the world as you think there is.

there's nowhere like this left anymore.

you always have to try so fucking hard.

i forget i have a body if no one is here to remind me.

the story's not over yet. don't you want to know how it ends?

sometimes it's easy to blame yourself for things that happen to you.

there are some things that only we can talk about.

what have i ever done to you?

you can't live every single belief that you have.

your choices have to mean something, even if they mean something terrible.

i don't want you to be scared like me.

for someone without a lot of luck, you sure have a lot of hope.

life isn't worth living without a vice.

you don't have to pretend you're happy. not here.

you're always trying to reinvent yourself.

all i want is for things to be still.

you've seen some shit, haven't you?

bodies ruin everything.

you deserve to just be a kid again.

i wish you had the tiniest shred of faith in me.

faith doesn't require proof. trust does.

you're a tough fucking customer, you know that?

don't be a smartass. it's unbecoming.

when did you grow up?

just when i think you can't possibly surprise me, there you go.

i don't trust pretty people.

wanting to die and wanting to live aren't mutually exclusive.

don't worry, i learned my lesson. it was a shit show.

"The cane I mean, cane, crutch, whatever. Particularly in Piltover. Don't seem like they care none about if it's easy or hard to get around."

the comment and look in her eyes threw him off for a moment. he was aware of her moods for the most part but this seemed different. he briefly wondered if there was something else on her mind but decided to leave it alone for now. 

"  it can suck, as you put it,  "    he says, looking down at his cane and the brace on his leg.

he'd had his fair share of moments early on in piltover that led to him stumbling and falling on occasion. he'd gotten better about traversing through the city but that was from his own learning rather than any changes made to the area. it wasn't a new issue but it wasn't exactly one he talked about with most people. 

thinking about it now, he realized how frustrating the situation was. they had all the resources needed to make sure everyone living there could exist without an issue and yet they did nothing. 

"  unfortunately, piltover doesn't have many positives when it comes to accessibility. it seems to be something they barely consider even in passing.  "

Playful, or predatory. It was hard to tell which the blue-haired woman was offering as she tilted her head, and smiled while leaning in and down a bit. It made her look shorter still, but at the same time forced someone to meet her gaze on her terms should they wish to make eye contact. “Well, duh.” Voice teasing, Jinx rolled her eyes as he agreed with her. What was it with men, and saying obvious things in lengthy ways? A ‘yea, it does’ would have done just as well.

Maybe him and Silco would get along. Perhaps he could advise Silco on a cane. After all, if Silco didn’t straighten up eventually, he’d need one himself.

Eyes narrowing ever so slightly as Viktor continued on, Jinx moved casually around him, almost as thought circling him. One hand reaching for a braid to spin it as she nodded. “Sooooo whyyyyy stay up here? It’s not like the Pilties are gonna change, and if you were gonna make enough money to create your own accessibility stuff you already woulda.” Now at his side, she leaned over to look up at him. “Do you actually like it up here?”

A major part of the tumblr rp experience is refreshing the dash and see your mutual roleplaying with someone else. Or maybe they're answering asks, reblogging musing posts, making an OOC post here and there. However, there will be times where you are waiting on a plot, an ask, or a roleplay to be responded to and you see your partner interacting or engaging more with other people.

Again, the mind is a cruel thing. Inadequacy, jealousy, general anxieties stem up sometimes, it's part of being human. But what's important is how you act on these emotions. Please remind yourself that sometimes, things take time. Not all plots go somewhere. Sometimes, someone may not be feeling their muse for that rp. Maybe they just got really busy. Thousands of reasons, but none of them have anything to do with how much they like you as a person.

Also not only does he keep the ashtray jinx drew on with him along with the other trinkets she gave him, he always keeps the side that says "DAD" facing him 🥺
