Summary
But isn't desire always the same, whether the object is present or absent? Isn't the object always absent? — This isn't the same languor; there are two words: Pothos, desire for the absent being, and Himéros, the more burning desire for the present being.

Summary
KORY: The team is… concerned… about you.
ROY: That’s crap. You’re new here, Kory; you’ll learn that this team isn’t the Titans. We’re not one big happy family. But if they’re worried about my head and heart not being in this… about me feeling slighted… Well, I’m a big boy. A big boy who shoots arrows and guns. I’m here for the team. I’m here to do the job.
KORY: What about Dick?
ROY: He will do the best job imaginable. He will always give one hundred ten percent. Particularly to prove you all wrong.

Summary
“Would you change what you did if I yelled?” he asks.
Voice full of promise, Dick answers, “No.”
It’s not disappointment, as such, that courses through him, just something terrible that already existed, ossifying in his lungs hard enough to make breathing hurt.
“That’s what I thought,” Roy says blithely.
Relief is a pipe dream. A brief insight into Roy Harper's headspace after Infinite Crisis (2005).

If he keeps this up, maybe the smile will reach Dick's eyes. Roy has to pretend this will work because he doesn't know what else to do.

Summary
“Faith,” she says, “what the hell happened?”
And Faith can’t help it – she notices the little things, hears the slightest edge of concern in that quippy, valley-girl voice, and she withers under her gaze. Fear is power, yes, and what she fears most in this moment is just how quickly Buffy can make her want to give in.
With a swipe of her tongue across the front of her teeth, trying to swipe away whatever specks of blood might still linger, Faith feels herself wilt. “It was just a vamp – no big deal.”
“You’re hurt,” Buffy says, nodding to her neck. “And I know how you get about fights. It seems like a big deal from where I’m standing.”
Faith tilts her head to the side. “Then maybe you’re not standing close enough.”
Faith's just trying to let off some steam. It figures she'd run into the one person she most wants to avoid.

Bookmarker's Notes
Buffy doesn’t break their magnetic gaze. Whatever goodwill had leaked into her demeanor is now gone, replaced by her quiet fury. “Five by five,” she murmurs at last, her voice quiet and thin with rage. Faith can hear it just as she can feel the anger pulsing just below the surface of Buffy’s skin, a rousing chorus of hundreds of voices from the past, all interlaying over each other to say, You’ve taken so much from me.
“That’s my line,” Faith whispers back.

"Woohoo, road trip!" Elena says as they cross yet another state line in the middle of the night.
"Woohoo," Stefan echoes, so unexpectedly that Elena bursts out laughing.

Bookmarker's Notes
Jughead can’t concede now, but he’s also completely and utterly paralyzed. Because pretend or not, this question has never been posed to him straight-forward. He’s never let himself contemplate what he might want from Veronica Lodge.
remember when jughead's monologue in the red dahlia said this for veronica? "yes, we all had our problems; the town was drowning in them. and a hell of a good-looking one was about to walk through my door." seminal actually

Bookmarker's Notes
But she wants mothering. She wants her mom, still. It faded, or was satisfied by story hour, but now she’s alone in this pale pink bedroom, this little girl time capsule, and she wants her again. She doesn’t think she’ll ever stop wanting her. The part of her that hid behind a camera crew so they didn’t have to have any real conversations, the part of her that always chose Daddy first, the part of her that broke Veronica’s heart, the part of her that stood between Veronica and danger, between Veronica and the consequences of her own actions.
Even today, she stood between Veronica and having to make any decisions. Flowers chosen, venues chosen, meal chosen. What was Veronica there for, but to say a few words and try not to cry?
i love grief and cheating and repressed girlbestfriends <3

“I’m not.” Betty shrugs. There are tears in her eyes again. “It’s not surprising. It’s not… deep in my heart I’ve always known that no matter what happened, I’d always be sharing you with Veronica in a way.”
