the kiss, part 1 : klimt.
maybe life is all about waking up every day and trying to learn how to appreciate the beauty of the world without allowing the ugliness of everything that has happened to me in the past to interfere with it
the threads that intertwine us
spike spiegel/faye valentine || introspection, slow burn, mutual pining, fluff
slow-approaching orbits and late-night revelations -- camaraderie is a slow flame you must learn to tend to.
(or: spike and faye's observations about each other, and learning to let the other in.)
——————————————————————————
“Do you know what camaraderie means?”
“Vaguely.”
“It’s like…a sense of connection between people who’re together often.”
“Do we have camaraderie?”
“...we live together, Spike.”
“So there's something there, when you're not trying to kill me.”
“This goes both ways, you know!”

CHAPTER 2: hand wash only
when the bebop's laundry machine breaks down, jet (on his wit's end) sends spike and faye to a laundromat on io.
actions before words leads to unexpected proximity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Men are imbeciles.”
“Good morning to you too.”
“Would it kill you to take your own laundry?”
“I’m only human, after all.”
“I’m convinced you do this just so you can come by and bother me.”
“Have you ever considered that maybe I just like seeing you?”
“There are far more convenient ways to do that.”
"I like to move in stealth."

CHAPTER 3: fine motor control
when the swordfish breaks down and neither jet nor ed can repair it, spike is forced to bite his tongue and take it down to doohan’s shipyard with faye. there, they let down their pride to learn a little from each other.
———————————————————————-
“50-50.”
“Fine, as long as I can take the Red Tail.”
“Why not the Swordfish? It’s your ship.”
“It’s just…under repairs right now. Can’t use it.”
“You’re doing this to get out of the bounty. I’m telling you, the reward is 60-40 now.”
“Hey, I’d never stoop that low. You would, though.”
“Do you want the Red Tail or not?”
“On second thought, only you know how to operate that junk.”
“70-30, Spiegel!”
Im struggling mentally physically and financially a lot, and i need help. Not putting a specific goal bc this is an ongoing need that will only be met if other ppl in my household can get gainfully employed (in the works but its Rough out there for job hunting).
My work shoes are peeling so bad they are no longer waterproof, and im constantly running at a pain management deficit which is only adding to the stress by making me unable to do anything but barely make it thru the work day. Im frequently skipping meals bc the stress is making me so physically sick i can't eat much and often skip dinner entirely bc I can't make myself eat. Bc im the only working person i also can no longer pay for pain management for my partner and my housemate, so they will be struggling more to help me as well. Also including a link to my wishlist which is mostly disability and chronic illness life aids that make my life a little easier, plus electrolytes so im not constantly dizzy and tachy.
All links will be in my pinned so tumblr doesnt nerf this post. Please boost if you can't give
