#and he's also like oh you trust me? okay well... we're brothers and i'm gonna save you

[hood-ex]

I have seen you talking about Dick & Dami's relationship and Dick & Tim as well,but what are your takes on Dick and Jason actually?

Like how you wish their relationship should be portrayed today and where are them missing when it comes to making those two acting like siblings?

Do you think in the past their dynamic was better?

How Dick views Jason and how Jason views Dick?

This is difficult to answer because there are like 8 different stages to Dick and Jason's relationship with various dynamics. They also view each other a bit differently depending on which stage we're talking about.

The way I would like their relationship to be portrayed today isn’t necessarily possible thanks to Jason’s integration into the family and acceptance of the no killing moral code. For me, their ideal dynamic is portrayed in Outsiders #44-46. And I know people are gonna find that regressive as hell but, tbh, that dynamic is far more interesting than the kinda awkward thing they have going on now.

Although, I don't mind that they acknowledge their brotherhood in a serious manner now. Like before they'd kinda be like, "Eh... I mean... we were adopted from the same guy but... brothers? Eh..." And now they're more firmly in the, "We're brothers," camp. So that development is interesting.

Character progression wise, it wouldn't feel right for for them to be super close in the way that, say, Dick and Tim are (unless we saw a lot of trust and relationship building between them), but at the same time, there is part of me that kind of wants them to have that older sibling bond (except Jason is closer in age to Tim than he is to Dick sooo actually let's just leave older sibling things to Dick and Cass... not that Cass is much older than Jason though so LOL this is why Dick has to lone the oldest sibling thing by himself... which is funny because Dick is technically no longer the oldest sibling, he's a baby brother now... except Dick and Melinda's relationship really hasn't progressed much sooo you could say they share blood but don't consider each other family yet, in which case, Dick is still the oldest... I mean, regardless, Dick is the oldest sibling of the Waynes... god why did they have to make all of this so difficult 😫).

#jason's like blerghhh dad always loved you best. but also hey we should work together bc you're a killer like me #and then jason's also like hey dick you were the most amazing thing i've ever seen and idk you're cool but i won't say that to you #and then he's also like hey dick i've got girl advice for you and i also need your opinion on my hair. oh now bane is trying to kill us #and then he's also like oh you got amnesia? i don't give a fuck about you and maybe i'll kill you #and he's also like oh you trust me? okay well... we're brothers and i'm gonna save you #and then dick's like oh hey kid call me if you need me. oh you died? i am literally devastated i'm so sorry #and he's also like wow you're very good at what you do but i don't trust you... okay but i trust the intel you're giving me sooo.... #and then he's like why the fuck are you dressing like me and killing people?? quit doing stupid shit!! #and then he's like jason what the fuck are you doing--let me help you!! #and then he's like kinda indifferent to jason but jason is still Ugh this family is stupid why am i here #and then dick's like ofc i'm gonna come help you if you need me but also this is awkward af and things are weird between us so bye #except not bye because i'm staying here to help you and your team #and then dick's like i'm being controlled by joker so i'm gonna kill yoooou #and then he's like eh i trust you and i'm gonna help you bc we're brothers but you literally wrecked bruce's car you numbskull #and then he's like you're doing dumb shit and i have to take you down but oh thanks for not letting the train kill me #and then they're both like meh we're doing shit w the batfam even though neither of us should be here rn #and yeah that's how it goes. that's. literally it. writers cannot keep their relationship consistent in the long term #Dick Grayson #Jason Todd #relationship analysis #anon

KEEP MY HEART

goal 09: do you like sweets?

You are fully self-aware that you have delusional tendencies, but you know yourself well enough to think that you weren't that far gone yet to the point that you will start seeing your long distance crush right in front of you.

He's probably real.

Taking notice of your presence, Scaramouche then turned towards you. His face was hard to read, other hand holding his phone and the other inside the pockets of his denim pants. His oversized black shirt was tucked, highlighting his good figure.

'Holy. He's got good style too,' you thought. It was simple, yes. But he carries outfits so damn well.

But what is he even doing here in your uni?

Since an eye contact has already been made, you flashed a sheepish smile and a light wave. Your loud personality online was such a huge contrast in comparison to how you're actually behaving now.

He just stared. 'Oh. So he's the cold type. God, he's exactly my type.'

"Aren't you going in?" You snapped out of your musings upon hearing his voice.

"I was about to. I'm starving," you chuckled. He scoffed. "I could use a bit of food, too."

"We should eat at the birthday party then."

"Kazuha's?"

You nod.

He looked away. "Go and eat inside. I'll find another place to eat at."

You flashed a look of disbelief. Scaramouche raised a brow in confusion. "Dude, you're literally already at a restaurant and you still want to go somewhere else to eat?"

"And you're hungry, aren't you?"

He sighed. "Look, I don't know if you know this, but the one holding a party — well, we're not on the best of terms."

Oh. Yeah.

There's that thing.

How the fuck could you forget that the love of your life is from the rival of your brother's team?

"Ah," You nod again. He seemed to take it as you understanding his reasoning and turned the other way, attempting to head off.

If only you hadn't tugged at his shirt.

"What the?!"

You led him to a lone bench at the parking lot, lit warmly by the streetlight just directly above it. "Sit there and wait for me."

"Excuse me?" He hissed. "What am I? A dog?"

"Your words, not mine." You grinned. "Just do as I say, okay? It won't be long, I promise."

He was about to retort but you cut him off by hurriedly entering the lively restaurant.

When you got back, you easily spotted Scaramouche who was sitting comfortably on the bench where you left him. He immediately scooted over once he saw you.

"Wow," he remarked. "You know I actually doubted if you would even come back."

You chuckled as you sat and handed him his plate. "Do you have trust issues?"

"Shut the fuck up."

"Oh, so you do."

He rolled his eyes.

Your late dinner with him was mostly filled with a comforting silence, with some bits of small talk in between. The only ones left on your plate were delectable desserts, as well as the little pieces of food you left out.

"Do you like sweets?"

"No," Scaramouche speedily replied. "They're disgusting."

You subconsciously frown. "Shame. I like them."

"You can have mine then," he says as he picks up his portion of desserts and transfers them to your plate. Unbeknownst to you, his observant gaze failed to miss how your eyes sparkled in delight at the sight of mouthwatering sweets.

As he did so, Scaramouche also spotted some leftovers on your plate. "Do you not like bitter stuff?"

"My tongue can't handle them."

"Give it to me then instead of wasting food, idiot."

You let out a laugh. "Is that your way of saying you like bitter stuff?"

The man just let out a quiet "tch" before taking a bite.

Liveblogging DFF episode 9

last time we checked in, Non was having just the Worst Time Possible, everyone was trying to cover their asses and Phi was entering into Murder/Detective Mode.

i know i've said it before but god the opening credits are SO GOOD. i don't think we appreciate them enough.

We're back in the present day! it's been so long! Tan is fucking brave to fight Fluke for the gun.

IT'S WHITE WITH THE STEEL CHAIR TRIPOD! BAH GOD THAT MAN HAD A FAMILY! love you white you're doing amazing sweetie.

...there was just a water bottle there at the shrine? and it looked opened? are you actually going to drink that? at least you smelled it first??? Ahhhh but notice Phi doesn't drink it! he lets Jin drink it but doesn't do it himself! my sus king.

"Why are you being so nice to me" i mean, dude is at least nominally your friend and you dislocated your shoulder or whatever and there's a killer out there after you guys? i think that'd be cause enough for Phi to be nice lmao. I get it though, Jin, i get it.

Aha, so we've got some timeline stuff. PhiJin absolutely happened POST PhiNon, which i had seen some intriguing theories that maybe PhiJin was actually first but this is confirmation otherwise. also that Jin very much had feelings for Phi but Phi was the one pushing the friends agenda, which we mostly knew.

Jin on that "you like Tan!" shit again, no wonder Phi didn't want to be in a relationship with your insecure self lmao. Tan is just his Bestie who helps with his Plucky Girl Detectiving, no big deal.

Once again, Jin sees things that Phi doesn't. shortly after the water. Hallucinogen maybe? guilty conscience definitely.

well that's one way to snap him out of the panic

slight detour inspired by the blood splatter everywhere in this shrine is that if the Janta Cult isn't real/doesn't play a part in this somehow, I'm going to be so upset. why bring up perfectly good murder cults if you're not going to give us the payoff? BOC? Dr Sammon I just have questions! (that said, the theory that the mafia is using the cult rumors as a front for a body dumping ground is intriguing.)

Oh ho, Phi's gonna confess everything to Jin! but will it really be everything? 👀

poor Phi is so conflicted. he's hurt, but he loves Non but he doesn't want to see him but he doesn't want to end up like his divorced parents, he can't stop thinking about it, he regrets what he said, but he still so hurt.

Non's dad got transferred. interesting.

Ooooh Phi found the picture! and the real script!

Non's mom knows Phi. I wonder if she knew they were boyfriends of if she thought they were just friends. lmao at her Ring The Doorbell You Shady Shit, Were You Raised In A Barn?

New contacting Phi as the news breaks...the drama. i love it.

Tan is New confirmed!

OOOF. major oof. "aren't you sad i'm going to England?" "Whether you're here or not doesn't make a difference" just ouch.

He may have been a Not Great brother in your life, Non, but in your death New/Tan is going to Get Answers and Get Justice! giving up a scholarship in England, lying to his parents about it...Tan is going to Fuck Shit Up.

Jin, get your 'there's a cute boy around!!!!" face under control.

Tan just dives right in to asking questions and these bitches are so fucking sus from the word 'go'. yeah, they clearly have something to do with Non disappearing.

lmao Jin does not stand a fucking chance against Phi's seduction.

i am dying at Tan's "You didn't study, dumbass" on his ankle. Top's face is Too Funny.

Aww, White waiting for Tee after school and the group roasting them is really cute.

Phi how dare you take Jin to your and Non's spot! so rude! can't trust men at all, the second you disappear he's taking another man to the place you became boyfriends.😂 Jin awkwardly trying to figure out of this means Phi likes him back is cute.

Why Jin, how bold! asking Phi to stay the night!

oh damn this is full on full on, okay. Ta's ass just out there bare. "don't worry, i won't be too harsh i don't want to dislocate your shoulder" "who fucks so hard they dislocate a shoulder?" somewhere else in Bangkok VegasPete's ears are burning. Anyway, Phi was like 'don't test me, i'm being gentle for YOUR sake.' and that's the Minor Family Theerapanyakul in Ta. i was absolutely waiting for that astronaut dog figurine to fall lmao.

Tan going for the kill with that Did You Cheat On My Brother. Tan i'm sorry but not only is your brother most likely dead but Phi and Non are actually very broken upright now, no matter how much Phi wishes neither of those were true. Phi is in the clear here re: Cheating. He is not in the clear for manipulating Jin into sleeping with him, but like, Jin's into it so whatever for now.

"Fuck him however much you want but don't fall in love. He's with those assholes so he's also an asshole" i mean! He's not wrong! Jin is a good looking nice boy he could absolutely find other friends. the fact that he stays with these fuckheads......

poor Non's parents.

these teenage boys have better skincare routines than I do and I'm

Jin just pass Phi a note in class: Do U Like Me Check Yes Or No

Ah, Jin has such bad timing. Everything about this is brutal. but lol this makes the 2nd boy in a row that Jin likes that doesn't like him back.

Tan doing chemistry shit. he's gonna be drugging everyone i just know it. also, never ever have your cellphone out in a lab and never answer it with your gloves on! Lab Safety 101!!!!

damn, Tan, you could have at least made up a part time job in england or something so that your parents didn't have to sell their house. this entire family's been ripped apart by all this shit.

and now Tan is alone. all he has is his investigation into Non and Phi his sort of brother-in-law.

oh shit, was it Tan's cigarette smoke that was causing hallucinations???! or are they the antidote to whatever Tan drugged the others with or both?

confirmation that Tan was drugging everyone!

lol Tan's face at he very end as he takes in the chaos

#i loved it #team Tan #dead friend forever #dff #dff the series

Drunken Idiots

A/n: I change who I write so often- anywhos, this was really fun to write and I hope you guys enjoy the brotherhood between Kaeya and Diluc as much as I do. Poor Venti got neglected in this fic I'm so sorry! Also, this takes place where Diluc and Kaeya actually get along!

Word count: 1.4k

Lee: Kaeya and Venti (Implied Diluc at the end)

Ler: Diluc (implied kaeya at the end)

Warnings: Tickling and some cursing, if I missed anything, let me know!

Promt: Two Annoyances

♡~~~♡~~~♡

    Diluc started to regret everything he'd ever done in his life. He wondered what landed him here, in a tavern, basically babysitting an Archon and his adopted little brother. And they were drunk. Well, Venti was drunk. Kaeya was tipsy at best. 

    Nonetheless, Diluc refused to let them run around acting the way they were. Especially not Kaeya, considering he was much more of a nuisance with Venti than by himself. Even if it seemed like chasing energetic kittens around a living room with too many crawlspaces. 

    "Okay, no, you're all done. Come on, let's go sit down," Diluc directed, grabbing the other two's arms and sitting them in a booth nearby. He continued to block both of them from exiting by standing in the way. 

    "Awe, but Diluuuucccc~ can't you let us have some fun?" Venti pouted, giving his best puppy-dog eyes.

    "Yes, don't be a buzzkill, brother!" Kaeya joined.

    "No. Absolutely not," Diluc crossed his arms, glaring daggers at the two.

    "Dilliuuuuuuc~" Venti tried.

    "It's not gonna happen. I don't trust either of you."

    "What? You don't trust your own brother?" Kaeya gasped in mock offense.

    "No, I do not. Maybe we should just leave. I make better drinks than this place anyways."

    "How would you know? You never drink them…" The shortest turned away and rested his head on his chin.

    "Keeps me from being a drunken bastard like you and Kaeya. Besides, even you would agree with that," Diluc argued, taking the chance to poke Venti in the ribs to accentuate his point. The archon squeaked and shoved his arm down to his side. 

    "Don't."

    "Hmm, fine." 

    Diluc sat across from them, and they talked for a bit. Their nice conversation came to an end when Kaeya loudly interrupted with a yawn. 

    "Tired much?" Diluc teased, "Come on, maybe we should go home."

    "Oh, the night is still young, Diluc. No need to be rude!" Venti said.

    Said redhead scoffed, "Now we're definitely going home."

    And they did. Diluc had to drag Venti, of course, but Kaeya went willingly.

    When they finally arrived home, Venti pulled Kaeya over to him and whispered something.

    "You're crazy. There's no way we're doing that," Kaeya protested, "I've tried that many times and it doesn't end well-"

    "What are you planning?" Diluc questioned, leaning on the door frame.

    Venti waltzed over to him, reaching towards him. Diluc quickly grabbed his arm and spun him to face Kaeya. He put his hand on the back of the shorter's corset and began untying it.

    Diluc tsked, "Now I know you are Barbatos and what not, but you will not try that on me."

    "I'm sure I dohon't know what you mean, Master Diluc…" The bard defended.

    "I beg to differ, bard." 

    Diluc finished untying and tossed the archon's corset onto the table nearby, he then dug into the olders ribs with no mercy. Venti bursted into hysterical giggles immediately.

    Kaeya watched nervously as he crossed his arms protectively around himself, "I think I'll just-" He attempted to walk past the two, but was blocked by his brother shoving an arm out,

    "No, I don't think you will, little brother."

    "I don't like the way you said that," Kaeya stepped back in fear at Diluc's tone.

    "And I don't like the fact that you forced me to go to a tavern with you and you acted out."

    The threatening voice of Diluc was followed by the squeal of Venti, who had just tried to collapse on the floor after his sides were targeted. Diluc let him, easily following him while also dragging Kaeya down too. 

    Kaeya almost screamed, "What are you doing?! Let me go! Diluc!"

    The older just laughed, pulling him next to a hysterical Venti. 

    "Come on, Diluc, please!" Kaeya pleaded.

    "Pleheahase," Venti chimed in.

    Diluc moved his free hand to Kaeya, beginning to poke around his stomach.

    "Wait! Don't!" He yelled, grabbing at his brother's wrist and failing horribly.

    "Don't what?" Diluc teased.

    Kaeya, the poor man, realized too late what was happening and fell right into his brother's trap, "Tihickle me! Wait-"

    "Tickle you? Okay, since you asked."

    "WAIT that's not what I meant! Diluc! NOHOHO!"

    By that point, Diluc had begun scribbling into the younger's ribs, eliciting loud squeaks and full-blown laughter. Venti, who had been stuck in a giggle fit for the last couple minutes, attempted to revolt against their 'attacker' by reaching a trembling hand out to his side. 

   The redhead, busy with his brother, didn't notice until Ventis hand made contact with him. He jumped and squeezed the Archons lower ribs in retaliation. 

   "Why you little shit," he said.

   With both of Diluc's annoyances below him, he couldn't help but smirk at the situation. He continued to tickle them mercilessly, eventually switching to targeting their worst spots. Kaeya's hips and Venti's stomach. Both of them screamed and batted at Diluc's hand.

   "Pleheahse! Dihiluhuc, Ihi cahANT!" Venti laughed.

   "Dihiluhuc! Noho!" 

   "Say, Kaeya, does this remind you of when we were younger? Particularly of when you got on my nerves and someone had to pay a visit to you?" Diluc said menacingly.

   "Wahaihit! Dohont sahay ihit!" Kaeya flushed a new shade of red.

   "Why? Could it be that the Calvary Captain of the Knights of Favonius is flustered? Over such an insignificant thing such as tickling?" Diluc started, "Or is it that I was about to mention your old friend-?"

   "Dihiluhuc!" Kaeya was starting to dislike being the younger sibling. 

   Diluc only smirked, "Do you remember his name, Little Brother?"

   "Plehease dohont!" He cried.

   "I'll take that as a no. Venti, do you have a guess?" 

   Seeing this side of Diluc was rare. To the best of Kaeya's memory, he wasn't much of a teaser anyways. Except for when Kaeya really got on his brother's nerves. That's when Diluc brought out the meanest tease ever–

   "Thehe tihickle mohonster?" Venti giggled out. 

   Kaeya started to thrash. Usually when Diluc used the treacherous tickle monster it meant one thing.

   "You are right, bard. And do you happen to know what the tickle monster eats?" 

   This is when both of the ticklees attempted to glare at the redhead. Both of them thrashed harder and doubled their half-assed efforts to escape. The older brother persona in the usually stoic man was creeping out more by the second.

   "Raspberries."

   With that, Diluc rose Kaeya and Venti's shirts to their first rib, took in a large breath, and started with his brother. He lowered his head and blew a giant raspberry on Kaeya's stomach. 

   "DIHILUHUC NOHO!" Kaeya shoved at the olders head with his hands. He was really starting to hate being the younger sibling. Just when he was about to tap out, Diluc let him go and sucked in another breath. He faced Venti and gave him his raspberry.

    "NOHONOHONOHO! DIHILUHUC!" Venti tried turning every which way but to no avail. When Diluc was finally done, both men were in never-ending giggle fits. Kaeya recovered first, he sat up and glared at his brother. Diluc chuckled.

     "Of all ways I could get you to genuinely laugh, it's at my own expense?" He pouted.

     Diluc rolled his eyes, "You are just as much of a child as you were when you asked me to do this."

     Kaeya's face flamed red as Venti sat up, "You asked for that as a child? That's adorable, Kaeya!"

     "Shut up!" He covered his face, resulting in Diluc squeezing his side. 

     "Do not get embarrassed over that. It is not like I minded complying to your requests." Diluc smirked

     "You are not helping!" The bluenette argued, "What if I shared your roundabout ways of asking me for it?"

     The older one glared at him, "You wouldn't dare."

     "Oh but I would, brother."

     "Please do share!" Venti instigated.

     Diluc attempted to stand and leave but Kaeya lunged at him.

     "Ah ah ah, you are not getting out of this that easily," He feigned disappointment. He then began to scribble Diluc's underarm, going in for the kill immediately. The redhead, much against what he'd like to admit, squealed and started to laugh loudly. He struggled as his brother began to share embarrassing stories from their childhood to the literal Archon of Mondstadt and could do nothing.

     Safe to say Diluc will be getting revenge soon.

TW vauge talk of death/killing

Word Count: 879

"Hey Etho." Impulse looks past Skizz's shoulder. Skizz turns around and sees Tango and Etho.

Skizz looks at the two, he can feel possessiveness and anger wafting off of them, somewhat overwhelming him.

"Impulse, Skizz." Tango says. His voice is even, but Skizz is willing to bet that it's taking a lot of will for him not to let the anger that he felt show.

"So I was told by Grian and Martyn that you two were asked by them to stick close to Jimmy." Etho says nonchalantly. Skizz leans against the wall and taps on it twice, a signal to Impulse that something's off.

"We did, and we agreed," Impulse crosses his arms and shifts towards Skizz. "Ya know it's pretty scary what happened, and the two are just worried about their brother. I'm a little honored that they trust us enough to even ask. I mean that's kind of a big thing, a big sign of trust don't you think?" Impulse says like normal, though Skizz can see him looking at them with a tactical eye.

"Yeah, but we'll, since I'm Jimmy's Senior officer I'm just a little confused why they asked you… but I guess it is a trust thing." Etho looks Impulse in the eye as he talks.

Skizz glances at Impulse, he keeps eye contact with Etho.

"If you have something to say Etho just say it we're all friends here right?" Impulse says. Skizz looks at Tango and sees his eyes flash a bright red.

'Uh oh.' Skizz thinks. He taps four times, company it signals to Impulse.

Skizz watches as Tango steps forward. "I have something to say, why did they ask you two? Etho is his Senior officer and technically a co-captain. I am someone that Jimmy trusts and a Senior officer. Jimmy is safer with us."

Etho breaks eye contact with Impulse to speak with Tango. Skizz glances up at Impulse, who has his eyebrows raised. It's his way of asking for permission, Skizz nods yes.

"I think what Tango is trying to say is that we believe that Jimmy would be safer with us." Etho looks Impulse I'm the eye again.

Impulse just laughs a little and looks around to double check that the four are alone. He looks at Etho in the eye and walks forward stopping a step away from Etho.

"Why? Because you two aren't planning on killing Jimmy first?" Impulse flashes his golden eyes with a raised eyebrow.

Skizz walks up behind him on the same side as Tango. He puts an arm on Impulse's shoulders and leans against his partner.

Skizz senses the confusion coming from them and laughs. "Oh come on, you didn't think you two were the only duo on board did you? Because we did." He says joking a little.

Impulse glances at Tango whose confusion has overwritten his anger. "I have to say I don't know if it's smart or stupid to kill X first. It was definitely a choice." He looks Etho in the eyes, "but since we aren't planning on killing Jimmy he will be safest with us. I'm sorry if your planned alibi is messed up now." A small growl from Etho makes him pause.

Skizz starts talking not letting the other two get a word in. "But me and Dop here can take care of Jimmy and Bdubs. If you get my drift." Skizz says, stating their claims. He looks Tango in the eyes flashing the bright gold that comes with being mates to Impulse.

"Now listen here you jerks." Tango takes a step forward making Skizz step back to keep the distance between them. "You better keep you stupid blue mits off of them, do you understand my drift?"

Etho flashes his bright red eyes at Impulse. They both know that this could not end well, and both do not want that.

Impulse sighs with annoyance causing it to come out with a low growl. "You two also want to claim them." Impulse states. Etho nods.

After a second Impulse steps back from Etho and turns around to see the stare off between Skizz and Tango.

"Come on Tango Top." Skizz smirks. "We can make an agreement to finish this ship."

Tango growls and turns around to his partner. "I am not sharing my mates, Etho." He says as Skizz laughs at Tango pouting like a child.

"Tango we will just let it be Jimmy's and Bdubs decision once we finish this ship." Etho says trying to be smart about it all.

"Yeah and they'll go with the superior choice of me and Dipple Dop." Skizz says laughing a little.

Impulse looks at Skizz, "Don't." He says to Skizz unamused as Tango looks at Skizz growling.

Etho sighs and walks up behind Tango and rests his chin on Tango leaning down a little. "Tango calm down. We can deal with this later, spitfire." Etho wraps his arms around Tango in a grounding gesture.

Skizz raises his chin in a challenge. No one moves, the tension rising until they hear steps coming their way.

Skizz moves over to Impulse. Tango snaps out of it as Etho taps his hand three times, a signal that has calmed Tango down since before being with him, then moves away from him.

Madney Speak Now AU?

Also Lokius Royalty AU?

Tell me more please.

For Lokius I don't really have much written, but the premise is that Loki is prince and attends Thor and Jane's wedding and meets Mobius and his sons. Mishaps happen and they get in trouble and cause a national incident. To help make it go away, Loki and Mobius have to pretend that they're dating.

For Madney Speak Now AU, Maddie and Chimney are best friends and Maddie is in love with Chimney but Chimney is marrying Tatiana. Just like the song, she eventually stops the wedding. I posted this snippet last year, but I'm gonna post it again.

--------

"You're oddly quiet tonight." Buck's words break her from her thoughts. "Like more than usual." 

Maddie tries to look unfazed. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Her baby brother leans forward. "Okay something's definitely wrong. I can see your bluff and you always have a great poker face. What's going on?"

She sighs. "Nothing's wrong…per say. Just going through some personal stuff."

He pauses for a second and starts to look a little awkward. "Like period stuff?"

Maddie snorts out a laugh. "No."  

"Okay well, either way you can tell me. You know that right?" He gives her his signature puppy dog eyes. 

"I know, Evan." She gives him a gentle smile. 

A small silence falls between them. 

She shouldn't bother her brother with this. It's just a silly crush – at least that's what she tries to tell herself – but it would be nice to tell someone and she trusts Buck more than anyone. So…

"I think I've fallen for someone."

Buck's eyes go wide. "Maddie, that's great!"

Maddie grabs a couch pillow and groans into it. "It's not great."

"Oh, because it's Chimney and he's engaged?"

Her head shoots up. "How'd you know?"

"Come on, Mads, it's kind of obvious. You guys do everything together. You do Buffifridays and eat each other’s food. You finish each other's sentences. You go everywhere together. You guys are practically dating."

"We're not dating because he's engaged."

"So you admit you would be dating if he wasn't?"

"That's not – we're just friends."

"Uh huh. Sure."

"Besides, you and Eddie do the same stuff and you're "just friends"."

Buck turns his head away. 

She knows that look. 

Maddie leans forward in her seat. "Unless…"

"This is not about me." He quickly interjects. "This is about you being in love with Chimney." 

"Evan." Maddie says softly.

Buck scratches his head. "It's - it's not…. He's married."

She nods and says gently, "I know."

"And he's officially trying with her again instead of secretly sleeping together for months."

"I know." She repeats. 

Buck lets out a long suffering sigh and leans his head against the couch. Maddie gets closer to him and lays her head on his shoulder. 

"Look at us. Both have feelings for taken men."

Buck hums. "I blame our parents."

Maddie cracks up laughing. 

After another silence Buck speaks up. "So are you going to tell him?"

"What? No! He's engaged."

Buck gives her a cheeky grin. "He's not married yet." 

"Yeah but he wants to marry her. He loves her. Telling him will just ruin our friendship and I can’t do that.”

Danganronpa 3 Future Arc episode 7

Thonks

(We're back!)

I find it interesting that people blame Makoto for Junko's death.

I get why because he's the one who defeated her. He's the one who won the final trial, learned the truth and beat her at her own game.

He's Ultimate Hope and she's Ultimate Despair.

However, Junko's death is not Makoto's fault. She's the one who pressed the big red button and had all of this set up.

If anything Makoto was trying to prevent her death.

But of course her followers can't blame her so they pick him.

Man... I'm like barely a minute in and I'm on a rant.

Monaca in a dictator outfit while a bunch of Monokuma's at a bar.

Not a visual I expected.

Well Monaca is definitely embodying Junko, doing a lot of her mannerisms and such.

I do find it ironic that Junko's death gives people such despair, it's what she would have wanted.

And Monaca made herself the heir to Junko rather than Komaru.

Junko Enoshima the 2nd aka Monaca Towa doesn't really roll off the tongue, maybe workshop that.

Ayyy Nagisa!

Okay okay the Warriors of Hope are in on this too and know where Monaca is.

Okay but Nagisa's reflection dead ass looks like Mukuro.

I'm not the only one who's sees it, right?

Awh hell yeah Komaru's blasting Monokuma's with a microphone and taking names.

And Toko is here, trying her best.

I love Komaru's inner monologue of how she was just a normal high-school girl before all of this, while taking out Monokuma's.

Immediately the "hopes not my thing neither is despair" her whole I'm just gonna leave that up to my brother attitude I love it.

Have I mentioned I love the Naegi siblings? Because I absolutely do.

And Genocider Sho is here. I love how Komaru has befriended both Toko and Sho.

Hmm maybe let's not tell Komaru that Makoto was about to either be locked up for an eternity, or if Munakata had his way, executed.

Nooo not the Byakuya fantasy.

What in the world... Why he look like that? Why she look like that?

Ima skip this...

I feel so bad for real Byakuya who is somehow aware of all of this... Poor guy.

It's cool seeing Byakuya's inner monologue. It's no hangman's gambit but it's interesting to see him think stuff over.

And it is suspicious that the killing game isn't being broadcasted, shows they've got something to hide.

I love how Byakuya isn't even that far up in the Future Foundation but takes control abd everyone's just like yeah sure why not.

"Do not fret, for as long as I draw breath this organisation will not fall. I swear it on the dignity of the Togami name."

Nevermind I see why, he was the ultimate affluent progeny, dude was quite literally born to lead.

And it's nice to see it, especially seeing how he's changed and doing this to help his friends.

Also his name means nothing in this world and yet he makes it mean something, man so cool.

Toko and Sho heading into Monaca's base.

This should be good. I love that Nagisa said they don't have the man power and yet these two are just running inside.

It is highly impossible to be more Junko than Junko.

That's just basic maths.

"You're not gonna lay a hand on my brother!"

... No one let Komaru meet Juzo or Munakata.

Actually... Someone please do.

Wait, she surrendered? Huh...

Oh wow she really did blow this pop stand.

And there's a Monokumamobile.

Monaca be acting like every ex Junko cosplayer.

I kinda like this Monaca, just like oh yeah the whole Junko thing eh that was a phase I was going through.

Just laying down and playing games and eating crisps.

I don't trust it tho.

"I don't get it, how did you become such a lousy excuse for a human being."

WOAH!

Komaru!

Wow Komaru Naegi really gives no fucks. She's so over all of this, can't blame her tho.

I... Forgot about the whole Nagito was their servant thing... Huh.

Honestly going soo far down the road you think you're become a Despair filled Nagito... Yeah that'd make me stop in my tracks too.

Nevermind that is the evil smile.

So there gonna kill one of the previous survivors.

... Please don't, Makoto almost lost it when they fake killed Asahina I don't think he can handle a real one.

And Monaca knows but won't spill.

Wasn't prepared for Monaca to actually go to space.

Sure, why not maybe she'll find Kaito.

... Too soon?

I like how it actually gets to Sho that one of the past survivors could be killed.

Komaru being upset at the idea of losing Toko is so sad and sweet.

Aww Komaru and Makoto video reunion.

.... Komaru! Better ways to phrase it, don't say hey Makoto my dearly traumatised older brother.

Monaca told me someone's gonna die because of you.

Like, I get it we don't have much time but don't rip the plaster off that hard.

He's not gonna take this well.

Especially when he's standing next to a survivor from the first game.

Byakuya's attitude of that's complete bullshit, is my thoughts exactly.

"Somebodies gonna die.. Because of me...."

SEE! What did I say?! Oh man I was already concerned for mental state of Makoto Naegi.

And this is only increasing that concern.

I am stressed.

[scintillyyy]

alright, so the lawsuit

alright, we're in arbitration. i like that. just one more reason they could have gone with my fat superior fire union ideas, because fire unions go through arbitration with everything on account of they're not allowed to strike. sadly, this is the inferior private citizen suing of the city going into arbitration.

i feel like chimney's case could and should single handedly win this for them. there's no way chimney wasn't on blood thinners a month after his brain surgery.

once again, this isn't a captain decision. but that ship has long sailed.

ah the "chain of command". it's a thing. this show gets it so wrong. so wrong.

honestly i am so team buck for this it's not even funny.

i think it's funny that they're always like. we're gonna take you to the hospital. you do have to ask. and people very often say no. here there's always transport when like. 80% of the time, my husband says people sign refusals.

see, buck. if you wanted your job back, you should have gone with the union.

okay, the grocery store. i appreciate eddie yelling at buck, but also i'm still on buck's side, the 118 cannot be trusted to watch the back of their fellow union brother. anyways not the point. my main gripe with the grocery store is that they do realize they're only buying food for one 24 hour shift, right? i would love to see the letters to the los angeles times complaining about their grocery purchases.

ah well, whatever. they do pool their own money every shift to buy groceries for the day. i guess they're free to spend it how they wish.

and the lawsuit is done. after that, i maintain that my union story would have been superior and far more pro-labor. the chief lets bobby decide if he wants to keep buck. that chain of command is working flawlessly.

and see buck, if you had gone the union route, you wouldn't have to sign anything the city threw at you. that's cause unions protect your labor rights hashtag proud union home.

station 118 can't say that, however.

oh hey, it's the man behind thing. see buck, if you called your union rep--

you know, i know they make up in the halloween episode and everything but there is something about that storyline that makes me genuinely a little irate. like they put buck on blood thinners, which. tbf. i do believe that's a bit controversial as far as being fit for duty. but the way they framed this whole suit regardless was *such* a violation of buck's labor rights, to have it kind of end on a "you weren't thinking of us, you were only thinking of yourself, a lot of "i" statements" and have buck have to kind of grovel to get forgiven? like i hate to say it because i do appreciate the angst it generates, but this storyline is a lot more hm. conservative. than ideal. like to end it like buck was only thinking about himself by fighting for his job? listen, fighting for your labor rights *is* thinking about everyone else. this is very much a case where helping youself helps others. by ensuring that your employer has to honor the labor rights of even one employee by fighting for them, it's a win for everybody because it ensures that their labor rights will *also* be honored and fought for if necessary. listen, buck may in fact have only been thinking about himself. he probably was. but if the captain and chief can overreach and trample on buck's rights as a worker, they can do it to anyone else. it's about being able to hold your employer accountable and ensure that they are doing things the way they're supposed to. and that's why it ultimately should have been framed as an unequivocal good thing that buck fought for his job. the fact that it's not because they had to schism buck and the 118 by having buck spill all their secrets so of course buck is somewhat in the wrong...idk it is extremely anti-labor from the show itself. like i don't even care who's wrong and who's right, it's the anti-labor framing of the whole thing.

i guess i mean to say that to me this whole lawsuit isn't about who's wrong and who's right and who's woobified or treated unfairly. to me this lawsuit just highlights the absolute dystopian labor rights nightmare station 118 is living in where bobby has the authority and right to make all his own calls with no respect to the actual chain of command or employment contract because it's "his house, his rules" (no. the framing of that as even a *remotely* positive thing is so pro management it's not even funny). so it's like buck is unequivocally *right*, his labor rights and contract were violated in a terrible way by bobby and the chief, but the show has to make it that so he spills everyone's secrets to sleazy lawyer and in order for him to even come back he's put in a position where he has to sign a bunch of things that says he can never hold his employer accountable for anything ever and he does it happily so he can get his beloved job back? that is an objectively terrible way to resolve that.

anyways. moving on.

you know, eddie is giving me the terrible financial decisions i need from these firefighters, finally. (the thing is that firefighters are somewhat similar to military in that you're giving very young dudes with no concept of saving a very good salary and often no student debt and they proceed to take their fantastic start and buy a 60k truck at 21, get married at 22, buy a way too expensive for them house, have 3 kids by 30 and then in 30s proceed to realize that they never started saving anything, lived way outside of their realistic means, and now have 75k in credit card debt that they need to pay back.) only complaints about the truck 1) it's not red, 2) it should be ford or chevy, but i suppose gmc is acceptable enough.

buy a boat next eddie. no lie i love hearing about my husband's coworkers terrible financial decisions.

oh man, no one at the 118 is having a good time this season. poor hen.

albert is also a top-tier character. although, the part where they're like "eddie don't try and convince him to join the military"...is this show aware of south korea's mandatory 2 year military enlistment?

alright, all the way to eddie begins. listen. i have some thoughts about how shannon looks a day after giving birth to a 12 pound baby, but the reality is you're a sweaty mess, sitting in a hospital gown, your tummy is all floppy and deflated, hair's not brushed, and have terrible eye bags because you haven't slept in 24 hours.

and i do feel bad for eddie, because he was young, but by god is he lucky that shannon never stabbed him. girl just post on r/beyondthebump with all the other ladies in your exact position, they'll support you. i understand why he feels guilty.

a lot of things have happened this season (currently on episode 17). a lot of ridiculous medical things. everyone's a mess (i'm living for that actually). thay dispatcher friend of maddie's being like "i'll never be rich". sir you also work for the city and are probably in a union too (if not, unionize). bargain for better wages. you're in a very good position to after the hostage situation.

#some firefighter bullshit

Happy Wincest Wednesday, Z! Which ultimate wincest episodes do you think are the most illustrative and crucial, when it comes to Sam and Dean's relationship development stages throughout the series? Thanks <3

hello bulb, hello, and what a happy wincest wednesday to you as well! and also oh shit this is a tough one, but -- [cracks knuckles] fuck it, no over thinking, open up the list of all episodes on wikipedia, wincest goggles on brain off let's goooo

Pilot: obv

Bugs: suuuper important for how they each understand their relationship with John, which of course informs their relationship with each other

Route 666: Sam discovers that Dean is not actually a callous horndog, news at 11

Something Wicked OR Nightmare: Dean will do anything for Sam, news at 11

Croatoan: actually Dean will just go ahead and die rather than live without Sam, so that's... special.

AHBL 2: well, now he can prove that's so.

Fresh Blood: actually you're not allowed to be devil-may-care, sorry, you have to be in it with me.

A Very Supernatural Christmas: ...fuck, that means this is really painful. But it still matters.

Time Is On My Side: Sam will actually straight up become a monster if it means Dean will stay. (Dean: you WHAT??)

It's a Terrible Life: turns out that respite even in this horrible days isn't enough to keep us away from each other, love you forever, your panties really match your suspenders

Good God Y'all THROUGH Fallen Idols, watch in a binge: this hurts so much maybe we should break up -> oh shit that actually ends the world -> well I'm still mad at you -> okay you can be mad, but you can't be mean -> you're right, love you, partnership and respect uber alles

Swan Song: obv

Appointment in Samarra/Like a Virgin: yes, it is worth this, it is worth anything, to have you back, I love you so much

The Man Who Knew Too Much: I'm not leaving my brother alone out there

Hello, Cruel World: Stone Number One

Torn and Frayed: we'll break up with our significant others because we value this partnership more than short-term happiness

Sacrifice: I MEAN, OBV

I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here: I said I don't put anything before you and I meant it; you said you wanted to live and I really hope you meant it

Do You Believe in Miracles?: "I lied." / "Well, ain't that a son of a bitch."

Paper Moon: it doesn't matter as long as I have you back (redux)

Book of the Damned/Werther Project/the Prisoner: sure, let's destroy the world, who cares, we're making sure Dean's safe

Into the Mystic/Love Hurts: I will carry any burden for you and I mean it. I mean it, forever.

And actually -- that last moment, in Love Hurts -- "I got it, Dean." -- that's... everything. Dean believes him. Dean knows. There are actually more great !! moments in the arc of their relationship after that, but from that very moment the marriage is stone-solid. Dean told Sam how scared he was of Amara and Sam accepted it and reassured him and that was -- it. There's no faltering, from that moment on. Even if later they get in some arguments or have internal conflicts, that specific moment of pure trust and acceptance is THE MARRIAGE for me and I will bask in it always, forever and ever, amen. Thanks, canon.

is that like, a play on duck dynasty har har. okay, creeper creeperson, get your hands of this lady's face please. heavy sigh at the threatening sexual assault to then kill the pretty lady and scoop her eyeballs out.

this codex thing with rowena is very kevin with the tablet but without any affection

i dunno if this is all i know him from, but again with the seinfeld tiny part actor being familiar. oh god. and nurses??? definitely watched that show too. sure i haven't thought of it since it the 90s

markus flanagan in seinfeld s9e19 the maid / nurses (1991-1994)

so we got to see hallucination!benny and we have this random dark magic using mafia people in louisiana. completely unconnected. sure. could not care less.

is this the first charlie episode written by not-robbie?

DEAN There's a woman you haven't mentioned? SAM A woman? DEAN Well, I'm just saying. You weren't here when I went to bed last night. You've been running off on your own a lot these past couple weeks. SAM I do that. DEAN You actually don’t. SAM Dean, we don't always do the exact same thing at the exact same time. Remember when you went off and snuffed that vampire nest by yourself? DEAN Have you been snuffing vamps' nests? SAM No, I-I . . . What is that? What are you doing?

smooth, sam. glad dean has noticed and is calling him out on it at least. "we don't always do the exact same thing at the exact same time" L O L

insert perennial complaint about the lying and the hiding

SAME, GIRL. SAME.

SAM Charlie, he's not himself. He's not. He would try and stop me. He's given up. Look, I called in an expert to use the codex, but it turns out it's sort of encoded also, so I thought you might help move things along faster. CHARLIE Behind Dean's back. After Dean told us the stupid book would kick our asses if we mess with it. Is there any part of this that doesn't reek? SAM Did I mention you'll be working with one of the most dangerous witches in the world? CHARLIE I don't know, Sam. SAM As far as I can tell, this is our only shot at saving him. If we don't take it, he's gone.

le sigh

surface product placement #4. think that's the pr0n folder (seen in s9e4) next to FanFic

somebody's grumpy. but i would be too if i was called in to babysit rowena while charlie works, all behind dean-o's back

SAM I can't be here full time to referee. CASTIEL Whoa, whoa. And I can? SAM Yes. Please. Please do this for me. CASTIEL Well, what are the rules? If I'm gonna referee, I should at least know them. ROWENA Quite literal, aren't you? Does he know that the first rule is don't tell your brother what we're doing?

okay that made me laugh out loud

SAM Okay, everyone take a breath. Look, we're up against it, okay? And we've all been up against it before, and we know there are times when every choice sucks. Now, us lying to Dean is the choice that sucks the least. We have to make this work. Please.

CASTIEL Wait . . . Dean doesn't know? Sam, this never ends well. CHARLIE That's exactly what I said.

join the party

CHARLIE Okay, yeah. For Dean. SAM Cas? CASTIEL Okay. For Dean. SAM For Dean. ROWENA I barely know the man.

filling in the crowley-snark void, she does it well

chatty patty, huh. i've only heard chatty cathy

Chatty Cathy is a pull-string "talking" doll originally created by Ruth and Elliot Handler and manufactured by the Mattel toy company from 1959 to 1965. In 1984, Mattel introduced Chatty Patty

learn somethin new every day

CHARLIE Sam and Dean are like my brothers. I love them. ROWENA I know. And that steadfast loyalty will be your undoing, my girl.

depressing because you know it's true. sounds like the kevin foreshadowing (i always trust you and i always end up screwed)

DEAN Yeah. You know, some dark thoughts, creepy visions, violent urges. Same old same old.

okay they toss that out but have we ever actually seen any of that? that surely would be more interesting than half the of the bullshit this season

speaking of, interrogating the whatever dude. sam is being the actual worst at hiding his little codebreaking study group hijinks. could he BE any shiftier

ELDON The real family tree. The name was altered out of necessity. You have chanced upon a lineage with a long and proud tradition and some unwanted notoriety. One of Europe's oldest families. The house of . . . Frankenstein.

think you could hear my eyes roll across the state

they're playing that threatening music again and i don't like it. i get it, he's extra ready to stab something from the mark, i still don't like the implied threat of violence now that he's figured out what sam is lying about

drama, very horror movie

would you look at how fucking tiny some of these little black and green console-ish windows fonts are. ridonkulous

SAM I thought it was our only chance to get you free of the Mark, so I grabbed it. DEAN I made it real clear how I felt. You ever consider that? SAM Dean, listen . . . DEAN And then you pulled Cas into it. And Charlie. SAM Charlie loves you, Dean. We all love you.

well. killing charlie off is really disappointing and unfortunately not surprising.

from the wiki

Robbie Thompson started work on Supernatural in season seven. [...] and created lesbian nerd character Charlie Bradbury whose aliases were comprised of the name of a Stephen King character and a famous science fiction writer. Thompson reportedly fought hard against the manner of her death, in an episode he did not write.

what a hot mess.

[sharksa-shivers]

Want an idea of the beginning dynamic? Aitey lol

(Early af group chat stuff lol, Kristy still getting used to things…Max just drags her into one and then Sharky after a while lmao)

Kristy: Look, i'm fucking terrified of him okay???

Kristy: How in the hell are you not??? Did you see what happened earlier??? With that fish??? And you're still so set on him being harmless??? THAT WAS HORRIFYING TO WATCH HONESTLY…

Max: Lmao, i never said sharky couldnt be intimidating or scary or anything, he hella fucking can if he reallt wants to

Max: thing is that last bit tho, "wants to" would be your key phrase lol. Sharkys chill as fuck 99% of the time…Also he's a giant puss and would coward the fuck out of doing any of thay shit your so scared of. He memes but hed never get over it mentally if he actually hurt somebody like that lmao

Max: he harmlesssssssss uwu, you juwt don't wanna fuckin listen again

Kristy: IM…ARE YOU SERIOUS????

(~Mr. Darktide Rising~ has been added to the group chat. Welcome!!)

Sharky: Yo

Sharky: ….Oh we're on this shavinksta again? Ok.

Kristy: MAX, WHAT THE FUCJ???????

Max: lol, needa get over it, i ain't lettin ya worm out of friendship that easy

Max: Sharky, tell krista something fuckin cool, legit, like whatever

Kristy: God fucking damnit Max!!!!!!! AND IT'S KRISTY

Sharky: Erghhhhhh, hmmmm…

Sharky:(sends a picture of packaged gel pens)I got some new glitter gel pens, can't wait to use these bad boys on some art.

Sharky:(texts picture of a blue rock)Also got this cool aquamarine rock earlier too. It's my birthstone so that's pretty neat. (March, if you were wondering)

Sharky:(sends bunny gifs and stickers)Also bunnies.🐰Bunnies are cool.🐇 You like bunnies Kristy? Pretty sure everybody does… Kristy: anxiety overwhelming, can't do this, fuck…

(Kristy - Has left the chat)

Sharky: ……..Oh, ok.

Max: Man, don't feel bad, just gotta keep trying…

Sharky: I shouldn't fucking have to keep trying to get some basic fucking respect but whatever…

Sharky: Never mind, fucking hell…Gonna draw, maybe rest. Dunno, just…I need to calm down, fucking hell…

Sharky: Fucking hate myself more and more every damn day…And I never actually fucking do anything to earn that…I haven't ever hurt anybody but everyone fucking hurts me…Sick and tired of it…

Max: Dude, fuck, cmon!!!

Sharky: Nah, i can't like…Handle this right now, i need to lay down, really upset now…Just want alone time…

Sharky: I know you want to fix it and i appreciate it Max but you can't fix everything, you can't. You just can't…And some people are always going to fucking hate me for what i am and i can't change that either…

Sharky: Ffs…So fucking done…

Max: Plz, just wait a minute!!!

Sharky: Anyway, laters, peace…

(~Mr. Darktide Rising~ has left the group chat)

Max: like fuckin hell i wont at least try to fix everything

Max: ……..This ain't over and i ain't deletin shit…Ima keep dragging both of you together until you get along on basic terms, this is fuckin ridiculous as fuck ------------- Yeah, so this is more a starting point lol Kristy at first is ABSOLUTELY PETRIFIED of Sharky...And for all the usual reasons... At first Sharky tries to explain and befriend her and whatnot but Kristy is so scared and distrusting of everyone (Probably because she got...yknow, kidnapped and dragged halfway across the world or something, idk lol) She doesn't trust him at all and is constantly thinking the worst of him... So thusssssssssss Sharky starts getting more bitter and pissy and angry towards her because...Well, fuck it. He's tired of being nice to somebody that's constantly throwing shit at him...Which, i do not blame him. (Sharky does have his limits as does...Everyone...) And Max is just like...The awkward middle man that's trying to fix shit because Sharky's his best friend/brother and Kristy's like his new bestie and "wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll we're a team now so you two dumbasses are gonna have to get along to some capacity!!!!" And Max isn't wrong there with the last point either lol... Kristy warms up more to Sharky as she gets more comfortable being in the Campsite and being forced around Sharky and whatnot...It just takes time...And Sharky isn't going to reject somebody who wants to change their mind on him (because he's had to do that a ton of times in his life and...He always wants that circle of close people to get bigger so...) Yeah, yknow lol Also Max is bad at remembering people's names (with Kristy tho, cuz she's being urhhh so bitchy towards the Campsite people who had absolutely nothing to do with her kidnapping and everything, he starts saying the wrong names on purpose cuz it pisses her off lol, that's a beginning joke...) And also also, in case you're wondering: Sharky ate a fish alive in front of em, that's what Kristy was going off about in the beginning bit lol...

SNW 2x06 Lost in Translation thought-stream

Is Kirk in this episode? Exciiite!! :D

Uhura!!!!

"My eyes are technically open, Captain." I love this new confidence, it suits her!

The TOS earpiece :O Yisss

He's fleet captain?! That's quite big, no?

THE SPINNING THINGS!!!! Nacelles? Idk the orange glowy things you always see on the TOS intro are in action and I love it?

Ohhhh, the recording of Hemmer :'(

"I'm sorry. I just said that because he's dead." Pelia I ADORE you

"Which is why they could really use your version of managerial fervour." Hah! That is Very Una.

JEEEZ THAT APPARITION'S TERRIFYING ... WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO HEMMER, SNW?

"Starfleet officers aren't supposed to randomly hallucinate." "You didn't do anything wrong, and there was nothing random about it." M'Benga is so gentle!, I love his bedside manner <3

I feel like Uhura has been in sickbay a lot this season?

"I empathize. But I also know a stubborn patient when I see one. You aren't going back on duty till I'm satisfied you've slept." She look so shocked XD You really shouldn't be that surprised that the doctor is gonna doctor, Uhura!

OH IT'S THE FARRAGUT! THAT'S KIRK'S SHIP!

Am excited to see more of Pelia too!!!!!

Actually, this is the first time we've ever seen Sam and Jim alive together (apart from that AOS deleted scene). Time to make Operation Annihilate more heartbreaking!

"Literally everything in xenoanthropology is new and exciting."

Jim's eye on Spock's chess game makes me so happy, I cannot express how much

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I am not in the market for friends right now." Oh, Nyota

I am so here for Uhura and Kirk on the case together

Pike's little breath and "Lieutenant Kirk". He's so well-adjusted tho

I'm so excited for La'an to run into Kirk again too

Can you find someone else to evaluate if it's real? Oh you did! Yes, Nyota!

No, you're supposed to wait for backup!

The way Jim catches her :o :3 <3 And her panicked "wait!". Oh, my heart. Okay, I love this Jim too, this is our Kirk

Well that's not disturbing at all, Ramon's space disintegration

Pike is so dadly and I love him for it. "The way I see it, that's good news. You're not crazy. Something is affecting you, the same way it affected him. And we're gonna figure out what."

"It won't come to that, I promise you." How can you promise that, Chirs? Take her advice! Let her be safe

Oh La'an ❤️❤️❤️ Just stumbling in on Kirk like that. You poor thing.

"And you have crumbs on your uniform! You're like a space hippie!" Wow, Una XD

"I don't need a cookie." "Okay, now you sound crazy." Kirk's trying to offer food as comfort... I wonder how Tarsus fits into this Jim

"The truth is I've never been able to face death." Oh, Uhura.

I've just realised she was watching that video of Hemmer, even though she must know how to do the thing by now.

"What's the play?" God, Pike's trust in her. That must be such a hard decision, on only that information he's been given.

"You gave me a C!" XD

Ohhh. But it's not really about that. Good. Una's too good o be petty.

I really love being able to see this beginning of Kirk and Uhura's friendship <3

Jim, clearly he'd like you to return with a compliment of your own. 'Xenoanthropology saved the day after all' or something? It's not hard.

Sam! What the heck? I was on your side for a second but I really don't think your brother has anything he needs to apologise for. Are you this much of an ass to anyone else?! (I really can't remember what he did in s1).

SPOCK

A HANDSHAKE!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH

HER KNOWING SMILE

AHHHH

Oh and as the camera pans away we can see that Jim is constantly looking across to Spock I cannot I cannot I cannot

Oh I ADORED that episode. And not just the ending! Jim fit in seamlessly throughout, it was really nice seeing that in the real timeline, he is our Kirk.

And Uhura is, of course, everything. I love her so much.

When the queer leftist atheist goes to a conservative thanksgiving

I am very tired.

It has been a very long day.

Mostly because I spent the last 48 hours helping my mother with 90% of all of the preparations for Thanksgiving--prepping something like ten items for everyone to eat--as well as clean up, organizing, table-setting, 5-year-old wrangling, etc.

But I am also very tired because of my brother-in-law.

See, they say something you should never talk about at Thanksgiving is politics, and fucking hell let me tell you what--I know that all too well. I'm the black sheep of the family when it comes to my politics. I have learned well to not say SHIT if I can help it. I will end up getting dog-piled on.

So yeah, keep my mouth shut, don't start nothin', won't be nothin'.

And then my brother-in-law looks me dead in the eye and asks me "Hey, do you have any bitcoin?"

That was how it started.

I replied with "No, I stay as far away from anything crypto-related as I possibly can."

He wanted to talk about his favorite sports personalities getting shafted by the crypto-crash and thought I'd be sympathetic.

I am not. Not in the slightest.

"They knew what they were getting into when they bought into an unregulated financial speculation instrument. It is a scam. Nothing more, nothing less. They're trying to speedrun every financial crisis that has happened since the great depression, and it looks like they succeeded."

He promptly shut up.

Preparations continue, discussions are had, there's a video that he and my sister are confused about because their kid is way into it, and they're not doing the picosecond of googling to find out what it is, so I do the hard work for them, find out it's inappropriate for someone so little, and they ban him from watching it. Brother-in-law starts going off on a mini-rant about media:

"It's gotten so bad you don't know who to trust, not even Disney, they're trying to brainwash kids."

I want to jump in. Oh fuck do I want to jump in so god damned badly. Holy shit do I want to just clap back with "Oh yeah? Brainwashing them how? EXACTLY? Is it be an even more ardent and fanatical devotee of the mouse so they will be excited to consume more product? Then yes, I agree. If you say the world 'woke' at all, then no, because Disney is absolutely not work. They axe shit all the time because it's "too woke" and queerbait constantly."

But I don't. I don't give him the rundown of what happened with the now deposed CEO who elected to not advertise the children's animated film that has an openly gay lead character so it would fail and use that as justification to axe more queer stories. I keep my fucking mouth shut.

We do the usual prayer around the table--as an atheist, I'm surprised I don't burst into flames--and while we're eating... my brother-in-law starts asking me about Mars.

"Do you think we'll ever get to Mars?"

Now... I know EXACTLY where this is going. I know PRECISELY who he wants to talk about. I know SPECIFICALLY where he wants to drive the subject... but I don't let him.

See, I'm a fucking space nerd and I can talk CIRCLES around the subject he wants to bullseye without ever straying into that maelstrom. Yes I know I'm mixing my metaphors. I don't care.

We have a legitimately decent discussion about the difficulties of spaceflight and traveling to another world and how NASA has provided so much spin-off technology and the actual benefits of having a human space flight program... even though he's trying--TRYING HIS DAMNEDEST--to bait me into something more provocative, whether he means it intentionally or not.

He sees he's not gonna get me this time and the discussion dies down.

Hours later, we're watching a movie, the credits roll, and I swear to you... completely unprovoked, not even mentioned anywhere in the film, nothing. Completely and utterly out of the blue:

"What are your thoughts on Jordan Peterson?"

Okay, sit down boo... we gonna have a FUCKIN' CHAT 'cause I got thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

You wanna go there? Let's go there. There is no FUCKING way he didn't know that was going to cause a problem. Peterson is too polarizing a figure. So I lay it on him as politely and gently as I can.

"I don't like him. He pushes a lot of wrong-headed ideology. He is a liar and a charlatan who has messianic thinking."

Hooo boy... turns out my brother-in-law is a Jordan Peterson stan.

Fucking great.

He starts in on the bullshit about making misgendering someone a crime you can be imprisoned for. I rebut with "no it's not, that's a lie"

He comes back with "I don't know where you get your information from" and "Just look it up, get out your phone and look up Jordan Peterson C-16"

So I fucking do, right there, in front of him.

In less than 30 fucking seconds, I find a legitimately credible source that says "No, Peterson is full of shit, it's not a crime, you can't be sent to jail for using the wrong pronouns" and I say "So he lied... like a liar."

And of course... because it runs counter to the narrative he wants to believe, he laughs derisively and dismisses me. I counter with "oh by the way, if you wanna come at me with that guy who was held in contempt for misgendering his child? That didn't happen either. He was held in contempt because the judge explicitly said to not discuss the matter of the court case in public, and he went and did that... even tried to raise money off of it. The judge slapped him with 'you were told explicitly not to do that, and you went and did it anyway"

Brother-in-law's response...

"Ah."

Just... fucking hell.

To my sister's credit, she saw where this was going the MINUTE he said the name "Jordan Peterson" and started packing everything up to haul the family home. She knew her husband was baiting me, she knew he was doing it all fucking day, and he finally got me to take that bait.

They left, and it was just me and my parents.

I apologized to them for getting argumentative, but it's something that's deeply important to me, to fight back against those false narratives that have gotten people killed--RECENTLY.

There was a... 'discussion' to be had, and my parents trotted out the same, tired centrist talking points "How do we get back to where we can just have a normal, civilized conversation and respect each other even if we disagree?"

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN RESPECT

PUSHING THE DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING MISINFORMATION PETERSON AND HIS ILK PUSH ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE GETS THEM--AND QUEER PEOPLE IN GENERAL--KILLED. YOU DO NOT POLITELY ARGUE WITH THAT.

You try to gently educate if you can. You provide documentation and sources and evidence if possible. But you do. not. DEBATE. This is not a discussion.

My dad whips out this "When I was your age or younger I too had a lot of really strong opinions. I felt like my opinion was the most important one and everyone should agree with me."

And I stomped down HARD on that shit:

"I'm sorry... is that what you think of me? Do you really think I believe my opinion is the most important one? If that's what you genuinely think then we need to have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT discussion."

It took me 30 god damn minutes to get both my mom and my dad to come around to the simple idea of "this isn't just a difference of opinion, this is pushing back against dangerous misinformation that gets people killed" and even then... they clearly didn't fully get where I was coming from.

My mom brought up "well I hear all this hateful stuff from the LGBTQIA+ whatever community"

"What hateful stuff, specifically? I wanna address it."

"Well... all this... you know... they force little kids to have surgery-"

"That doesn't happen. That is a lie. No doctor will perform gender affirming surgery on anyone under 18. And HRT, they will not provide that if you're 12 or younger. If you're talking about puberty blockers, those are completely safe and reversible--even though getting them is extremely difficult. You can't just go to the doctor and ask for them and boom... your child suddenly has HRT and new genitals. It takes YEARS sometimes just to take the first step--EVEN FOR ADULTS."

"Then why do politicians keep saying it?"

"They lie. They lie to keep you afraid. To keep you hating the 'right' kind of people. To keep you whipped up and voting for them. That's why."

Mom didn't like that. I don't know if she accepted it or not.

When I asked her point blank "Do you think gay and trans people should be allowed to exist with the same rights as straight and cis people?" she DID say that she does think they should.... so... at least her heart is in the right place I guess.

I didn't hear an answer from my dad on the point.

But they really REALLY wanted to make it sound like it was MY fault for rising to my brother-in-law's bait. Motherfucker was TRYING, and god damn did he fucking succeed.

Mom trotted out the "Whatever you wanna do in your own home, that's fine. I just don't want it in my face."

That's when I started talking about representation in media, how straight cis people are EVERYWHERE... from a queer perspective, heteronormativity is shoved in THEIR faces from every angle.

I went on to talk about the Hayes Code, which neither of them had heard about, the 'bury your gays' trope, the fact that the queer community loves Disney villains like Jafar, Ursula, Scar, etc. because of queer coding

Because "well if this is the only representation we get, then we'll take it and make it our own"

I told them about Strange World and how the former CEO tries to bury it because of his raging homophobia.

My mom was shocked... ACTUALLY SHOCKED... about the queer coding of Disney villains.

"That's wild... I never saw them like that, they were just bad guys in Disney movies to me."

"Yeah... exactly my point. You don't see it. Queer people do. And if you can only see yourself in the villain... what's that say? That tells you that's what the world sees you as."

I went on with: "Why is it that when we see a little boy and a little girl being boyfriend and girlfriend in movies and what not, it's cute and innocent, but if it's a little boy and a little boy or a little girl and a little girl, it's suddenly SEXUALLIZED!? Why isn't the little boy and the little girl seen as sexual?"

Neither mom nor dad could answer.

Eventually, it came back to: "How do we get back to having rational, civilized discussions again?"

"I don't know, but as long as a person's right to exist is up for debate, there is no civil discourse to be had. It's either you get to have rights, or you don't, and one of those is fascism."

I can see their desire to want to do the right thing, to be okay with people different than themselves... but they've just swallowed so much bullshit propaganda over the years, and they continue to. I don't know if I reached my dad. I feel like maybe I reached my mom. We don't fully agree on abortion--like, she is concerned for the life of the innocent or whatever wording she actually used, but she damn sure doesn't like the idea of the government having a say in what you can and can't do with your body.

At least we are in full agreement on that front. I tried to frame that as 'right to privacy'... but then she brought it straight back over to the vaccination card.

*LOUD, ANGRY, QUEER, LEFTIST SIGH*

"A woman's right to chose to get an abortion does not affect the life of a person she bumps into at the store. Whether or not she is vaccinated can kill that same stranger--and has killed people. I am 100% in favor of everyone having personal liberties and freedoms... but the very second your personal liberty results in someone else's death--some random person you ran into at the store or on the street... that's when it becomes something else entirely"

We also had a discussion about abortion--about when they happen the most, about why someone gets a late-term abortion, about how there are so many potential carve-outs that the government ought to allow that I just said "at that point, why do all this fucking means testing? Just give them abortion care. They're already going through enough heartbreak as it is, just let them make their choice and not be judged or criminalized for it."

There wasn't a response after that.

Dad started turning up the volume on the TV at a certain point. I think he was fucking done with me. And you know what? That's fine. I don't need his approval. I don't need his blessing. I don't even need him to fucking agree with me.

People should have the right do what they want with their own bodies. If he disagrees with that, then he's in favor of state regulated bodily control, and that's fucking fascism.

Yes, that does mean I have to be in favor of a good many things that I might disagree with--like surgically altering yourself to look like a cat... yeah, that weirds me out... but whatever, it's your body. Do what you want with it.

You wanna smoke or chew or dip or whatever? I'm not particularly fond of it, and I have some VERY strong feelings about the tobacco industry... but... it's your body. Just don't force ME to breathe your second hand smoke. I already have enough respiratory issues. It comes back to that whole personal liberties affecting another person thing.

God I'm so fucking tired.

There are so many other, better educated, better practiced, better tempered people who can handle this kind of discussion.

I hate having to be a queer elder for my own fucking family when I came to the community so late in life... especially when I have literally zero support among them.

"You just get so... so... mad."

"YEAH... BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY DYING BECAUSE OF THIS SHIT. WHY AREN'T YOU MAD!??!"

I think I may have to take a pass on meeting up with everyone for Christmas. If this is the direction it's gonna go again... I'm not sure I can handle it. My brother-in-law clearly wants to bait me into this shit and I don't have it in me to stay out of it.

I hope everyone had a better thanksgiving than this.

Love and solidarity.

Trans rights. Gay Rights. Reproductive Rights. Black Lives Matter. Land Back. All of this good stuff.

I just don't have the strength to handle all of it all of the time, and the world seems content to force me to do so more often than I'm able.

I could use a hug.

Lavender-haze - Part 1.

AN: Just got around watching it again, and i realized it has been a hot minute since i wrote to our dearest Buck. So i guess here it is.

Masterlist

MINORS DO NOT INTERACT

-One day, you're gonna have to open up, and understand that some people really do want to help you and that they can be trusted.

-I trust people. - he said somewhat annoyed.

-Then give me your phone. - which he does after a moment.

-You don't have ten phone numbers on this thing. - she grimaces -oh and you've been ignoring the texts from Sam. Look.. you've gotta nurture friendships. I am the only person you've called all week.. That is so sad. - she says as she closes the old flip phone and tosses is back at him. - You're alone. You're a hundred years old. You have no history, no family...

-Are you lashing out at me, Doc? Because that's really unprofessional, you know? I mean when did that start? Yelling at your clients? .... Oh the notebook. That's great.. - he sighs. - All right, give me a break, i'm trying, okay? This isn't.. This is new for me. I didn't have a moment to deal with anything, you know? I had a little calm in Wakanda. And other than that, i just went from one fight to another for 90 years.

-So, now that you've stopped fighting, what do you want?

He took a moment to think it through. To really think it through.

-Peace.

-That is utter bullshit. - said the psychologist.

-You're a terrible shrink.

-I was an excellent soldier, so i saw a lot of dead bodies, and i know how that can shut you down. And if you were alone, that is the quietest, most personal hell. And James it is very hard to escape... Look i know you have been through a lot, but you've got your mind back, you are being pardoned. I mean, these are good things.- she smiled at him for a moment - you're free.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have known Sarah since highschool, and you were friends ever since. Of course you met Sam a few times too, but you never really talked or interacted. To him you were just some girl with rich parents living in an estate on the rich side of town and nothing more. If it weren't for the long years you were friends with his sister through thick and thin he would've kept his opinion about you thinking they are some charity case you needed to keep up the good looks. But you were there, always. Your parents were shallow like that, but you never were. After they died, you donated all your inheritance to the poor, left your father's company in capable hands and built your own business of graphic design up from the ground, from nothing. You have proved everyone that you did not need your family name to make your own in a completely different field. Also you had your own, succesful food blog, which was followed by thousands of people. It was more of a hobby to you, you were a big foodie since you were al ittle girl, so it seemed fitting. So when he got home into Sarah's apartment, you were there sipping on your wine, while you helped the boys with their homework as Sarah cooked dinner. Sam took a moment to see this picture. You fit in their family well, and you did earn that place. He smiled, then the kids saw him and ran up to him.

-Uncle Saaaam. - as they started their handshakes and fistbumps with him, making you and Sarah smile.

-Well i think that is my cue to leave. - you said as you stood up.

-No (Y/N), please.. stay. - he said smiling. - perhaps you could help me convince her of not selling our parents boat..

-Well that sounds like a very family problem to me. - you said as you gulped down the last bits of your wine and put the glass in the washer, and kissed Sarah's face goodbye.

-You're family enough to help me convince my stubborn brother that we're gonna sink if we keep it, just like the ship will any minute now. - said Sarah smirking as she tossed the salad.

-I would be glad to settle this matter between you two, but i am afraid since you would let me help fix it up, and he probably would i would just get in the middle of your quarrels and i did not drink enough for that.

-Drink more then. - urged Sam grinning as Sarah filled another glass for you.

-Bloody Wilsons. - you said smirking into the new glass of wine.

After dinner, Sarah went to get the kids to bed, while you and Sam went out to smoke.

-How you've been? - he asked looking over the horizon.

-Good, busy.. There is always some new technology or style to get into a little more.. What about you? Saving the world, dating all the ladies.. Oh and i saw your speach at the Smithsonian, I didn't know the man but felt the ... weight of it all.

-Oh come on now, you as well? Take a number lady. - he joked.

-Oh dear lord no. I mean.. um.. you're like my brother. - you said with an awkward laugh as he made faces, and played hurt - not as i'd have time for that anyways. Forever single. - you raised your glass.

-Oh a pretty lady like you will never be forever single. Sooner or later you'll find some... - he stopped looking you up and down with his toothy grin - suit wearing busy guy, who'll fit right into that succesful life of yours.

-Geez man.. that sounds boring. - you laughed at him taking a moment of silence. - I do want to help you two with the ship though. Forget about the stupid banks. I mean it. Call me.

-We cannot possibly.. - he said

-No i mean if that helps it can be a christmas gift.. - you smiled at how stupid that sounded. - or just pay me back whenever.. you know i don't care about that. I care for yall..

-Well.. are you good with screwdrivers too? - he asked more like a joke.

-Oh i am, you would not believe. - you teased him.

-Great then help that way, and im sure Sarah will lighten up about it. We could all use your cheery personality these days. Not to mention the fooood.. oh god i missed your cooking as well..

Then it was set. In your free time you'll be helping around the dock, also spending more time with the only thing close to family you had left.

It was going well, you missed spending time with them. Sarah did lighten up about it and in the end they took your help with the condition of you cooking for them too. You rolled your eyes, but in the end you also turned it into a seafood month that concentrated on the not fancy but the heartwarming dishes. So of course you took the time to plate them nicely, take photos of it in various settings for your blog.

Sarah was running errands when you noticed Sam smiling at his phone.

-Date? - you walked up to him smiling handing him a beer.

-You would like that wouldn't you?

-It could be fun, yes. - you said laughing.

-No, it is an old.. um.. coworker i guess. He's been ignoring me for some time now, and i guess the doc came through.

-You seem to like him.. Tell me more about him. - you asked him sitting beside him.

-Well.. i mean.. i think you heard of him. Everybody did. The name is James Barnes. - he stopped with a chuckle as he sratched the back of his head. - But i assure you he is not like what the news made him out to be.

-Sam, - you gave him a look - you're really telling me that? I don't know which of us thought i thought of oyu as a charity case at first..

-Ouch, fair point. - he said nudging you with his shoulder. - So he's being pardoned with the condition of going to the psychologist in case.. you know he fell back. Which he won't, Shuri did a good job. And the doc's been trying to get him to open up, make friends and he's just.. he closed himself off. After the blip.. and losing Steve and all that..

-He needs friends, that he doesn't know or admit he needs. I get it. - you said.

-Or a girlfirend. - he said wriggling his eyebrows.

-Jesus Sam, sure, push your only friend in the arms of the workaholic sure it would help.. - you laughed shaking your head - but he might be a good addition to this little disfunctional family we have going on here.. Perhaps he would be a bigger help around the ship than me.. - you said honestly.

-And give up on your cooking?

-I would still come help you moron, im just saying it might benefit everyone if you invite him to stay.. at least for a few days or weeks. C'mon you know it.. I can see you miss him.

-Okay, okay i will, but you cannot make a move on him! - he pointed a finger at you.

-Cant promise that. - you joked as you both laughed.

You got closer with him too over the past week. The Wilsons were the support system you wished everyone would have in their life. You were sure, even without knowing him that it would do Bucky great too.
