You've got the inbox of Jennifer Walters, a.k.a. the sensational She-Hulk. I'm either in court, in the field, or generally unavailable.

If this is a superhuman emergency, please hang up and call your local law enforcement or Avenger Affiliate. If this is a legal emergency, dial pound seven-three to be redirected to the firm's main line for secondary council.

For anything else, leave a message after the beep. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

For those of you who didn't follow any of Civil War II (you made the right decision), on of the major aspects at the center of the event was, of course, multiple character deaths. spoiler bits )

So, how does this apply to rp?

Jen went through most of the events through the coma/waking up with some bendy time.  It's a good explanation for why she'd have disappeared/been low for a lot my down time. After all, if SHIELD was as paranoid as it was during Civil War II, most of what happened to her would be kept quiet as possible, especially since the person who put her in the coma was also killed. The recovery time would be slow, and she'd hide it as much as she could.

People around her would know she's in pain, but she's not talking about it and certainly not going hulk. We're a few months into her having lost him, and she can't talk about it beyond the surface because every time she does it threatens to take her to a place where she'll risk the family that's the only thing giving her any kind of center. She's ready to crack, but keeping control.

Having officially graded my last final of 2016, I have officially hit winter break, and I have MISSED YOU GUYS. Like...you don't even know.

I'm hoping semester 2 will equal a better work/general life balance, but in the meantime you're all stuck with me for at least two weeks.

I'm currently less than a week out from the first day with kids in class in my first year teaching.

Then next couple months (or more) are going to be weird. I'm sure I'll still rp, but the next few months (or ten) are going to be weird. If there's something you need me to know about that I don't seem to be responding to on my own, please point it out.

Thanks and <3 in advanced.

Is anyone keeping up with the main Civil War II comics? If so, is Shulk in any issues past 1? Because I'm currently trying to decide if I want to buy them.

TL:DR )

So, what's the answer? Jen is currently 37, has been in her relationship that started when she was 35 for 5 years, and if you want to know how that works, there's a really easy canon answer: comic book aging.
jadedgiantess: (N-live action real joy)
There are things Jen doesn't talk about or bring home from work. Some of that is a matter of confidentiality. More is the long ingrained habit of compartmentalization of different sections of her life according to need and necessity. It takes something big, like an important victory, or more frequently, an irritation she has to get over out to come home. So, when she doesn't talk about much of what happens on her New Years unaccompanied at her firm's not quite gala, there's considerable precedent.

These are the steps to healing from possession:

1. Let it bleed.


She hates Matthew for getting the man who put the demon in her. She hates the man who had her possessed. Hating the demon seems redundant. She hates the people who had her chained, and the being who twisted her nature for a time. She hates Aeron for everything that happened when her girlfriend visited her while she was in chains. She hates herself for not being strong enough of to fix it on her own. She hates herself for being changed. She hates herself.

Things are not the same. They are not all that much worse, maybe, but things are not the same.

For example, no one tells Jennifer she can't go with Matthew and Kavinsky to try to bring Gem back from the dark places in her head. She simply knows attempting to do so will end up with them all having a SHIELD tail that might blow the whole operation and end up with her back in a slightly different jail cell. Which will snowball. So she prevents the problem by rearranging her work schedule, making it impossible for her to leave. After all, her work is how she mends bridges.Read more... )

Just wanted to officially say I got through the meat grinder of summer school and am struggling my way back to the threads I left off and/or figuring out it's better to start something new. Fic may be incoming to help bridge the gap a little, but the writing has not come back fast.

<3s to you all!

I'm kind of beyond annoyed with myself at this point, but multiple real life things hit at the same time as an rp related thing did, and my brain just kind of shut down. But, after trying to get myself not to back off so much, and largely failing, but tomorrow might be the turn around. I seem to have mostly gotten over the heat exhaustion, and the shift to working summer school starts tomorrow. I'll have a better idea of how justified of the massive amount of anxiety I've got over how much physical aggression and bodily fluids are going to be dictating the next month of work. I should be either be able to say if I'm going back to my normal rate of play or if it's just going to be a general slow down for a while.

And I've not lost any of my current threads! I plan on replying to them tonight or tomorrow, unless you see another worst case update. Let me know if you do want me to drop anything or if there's an update I missed.

My worst nightmare, for a long time, has been to revisit what it felt like to have someone impose a different emotion on me. Last time it was love, and this was. Almost it's opposite.

So, apparently the snow and ice decided to show up just in time to ruin weekend plans and screw with my internet but then melt before we could actually get a snow day.

I am annoyed.

It's almost disgustingly easy to find Jennifer in a vulnerable moment on a Sunday afternoon. She's simply at home, taking a nap on the couch in her living room with one of her daughters cuddled to her chest. The small child is no protection, not in the hero's bone deep exhaustion. There's an arguable kindness that the villain who found her has no desire simply to kill or kidnap them both. Not when there was so much more chaos she could instill with only a little nudge. Proper payback for forcing her to destroy one of her more ingenious creations would take time.

The tiny girl-like figure reaches out with one grey-white hand to touch Jennifer's cheek. Always on an emotionally uneven keel, the She-Hulk is a roaring ocean of fear and anger, mostly aimed at another figure in her own life. Enmity smiles. No wonder the other came back into her thoughts. Well, no matter, just easier to leave the chaos that was to come. A little nudge of power, and she can leave. Not before the youngest of the clan opens her little eyes and stares at the retreating cosmic figure with solemn black eyes. The quickly fading Enmity couldn't help but be a little disturbed.

There are good days. Days when she forgets the specter is able to discredit her own insanities enough that it's barely even a ghost. They move fast, from one appointment and court date to another to another, then home, then bed then the next day. Time falling effortlessly through the hour glass, punctuated by sweet highs or brief lows. All very real, all very fleeting.

The bad days are different. They creep in from the edges or race in when she's vulnerable. Waking up with the feeling of Nicole bleeding into Matt bleeding into her dreams that could be something really happening or could just be a nightmare. A ghost of what it felt like when her emotions weren't her own builds up in little echos that make her paranoid on a level that belongs more in Phillip K. Dick novel than her frantic life. Each time it seems to stir up different emotional reactions. Tears, vomiting, shaking, barely keeping herself from yelling at anyone who even kind of fumbles around her, bone deep exhaustion.

She knows what it is, she's been through this before. Lost the horrible pattern of it by losing herself in intergalactic superheroics. Or finding herself again. She was never quite sure which of the two was more true, and too run down on the bad days to question it further. This was different. It was more like being poisoned slowly from the outside, and she can't cut out the source.

Matthew was the one with the actual trauma from her. Trying to claim it or even becoming a martyr to it would be just as toxic in different ways. So she tries to be honest enough not to do either. She even tries to do more than swallow the panic that comes when she thinks about the fact that the best case scenario is Nicole being a lifelong part of their family. It's slow. Her brain and control still tend to go to shit when she's around Nichole, but she hasn't broken yet. Refuses to.
