(and you know) we're on each other's team
post 7x04 | buckley siblings | 525 words | also on ao3
“I kissed Tommy.”
Maddie, to her credit, does not choke on her coffee. She does however take way more of the hot beverage into her mouth than she intended and it burns as it goes down. 
“Or, uh, he kissed me and I—I kissed him back—because I liked it—liked kissing him. And we’re, uh, he’s picking me up Saturday—for a date.”
Maddie is aware that Buck is waiting for her to say something but her—looking for her approval brain is still trying to catch up, and all she can think to ask is— “Tommy?” 
“Yeah, y’know, uh, Kinard…” He trails off, staring at his hands.
Buck’s shoulders have hunched up and his entire posture is sinking in on itself in a way Maddie recognizes all too well, and—finally—her brain exits the loading screen it was stuck on. 
She reaches out to place a hand over his and feels him tense and then relax ever so slightly under her touch.
“Hey,” she says softly, waiting for him to meet her eyes, “I’m proud of you, this is a big thing to discover about yourself, and I’m so proud of you for embracing it. Thank you for telling me, Evan.” 
The tension drains from him completely, and Maddie gives his hands a gentle squeeze before retracting her hand.
“So, Tommy,” She leans back in her chair a bit and fixes him with her best inquisitive older sister gaze, “how’d that happen?”
“He came over to my apartment to, uh, apologize to me, actually, for ‘causing bad blood between me and Eddie’ which was—incredibly sweet but so backward because I was definitely the one causing any ‘bad blood’ with how stupid I’d been acting all ‘cause I was feeling jealous that Eddie was getting all his attention.” 
Maddie blinks, reminded why her brain had stalled out before, because—yeah, that was definitely not what she was expecting the follow up to her brother’s unusual behavior this past week to be.
“You were jealous—of Eddie?” 
Buck shrugs, “I mean, yeah, it explains why I was acting like a—and these are your own words—’fourteen year old girl.’”
“Right,” she studies him for a moment, he looks—at peace, in a way she’s not sure she’s ever seen him before, like a weight lifted from his shoulders. “And Tommy—he makes you happy?” 
“I mean all we’ve done is kiss and talk a little ‘cause he had to leave for a shift, but—yeah. I really liked kissing him, and I’m so excited for our date—like, I don’t think I’ve felt this excited about a date with someone since—since Abby.” 
Maddie softens, because for all her issues with Abby, she knows how important that relationship was to Buck. That this is important to Buck now. That the smile on his face is one she’s never saw when he was with Ali, or Taylor, or Natalia. 
That his happiness is something entirely genuine.
“Well, maybe just try avoid an emergency tracheotomy this time around?” 
Buck groans, burying his head in his hands, “I never should’ve told you about that.”

I love reading your kagehina posts!! Sometimes I see stuff like they aren't even friends 😭 and probably drifted apart and partner in sports is different from actual friendship lmao
Thank you!
dfghhjkl yeah i've seen those claims and I firmly believe that anyone who's saying any of that needs to take reading comprehension 101. I've talked about this claim a little bit here but to reiterate, kageyama and hinata's bond- their unique connection, the meaningfulness of it, the way that they support and teach and learn from each other- is one of the core aspects of the series. Like, there were so many instances of people commenting about how special their relationship was that I made a list. This post here I think are also relevant to addressing this. (if you couldn't tell, i talk about this a lot lol. But I don't mind talking about it some more)
Point is, they mean a lot to each other. And yes, haikyuu does make a point of showing how volleyball isn't always a 1 v 1 comparison to irl and how volleyball doesn't have to mean everything to be meaningful but at the same time, that's inapplicable to hinata and kageyama because the other side of that coin is that sometimes, volleyball is everything. It could not possibly be more in your face that Kageyama and Hinata formed an instantaneous connection and became a duo to be feared like overnight because they recognized that the other person is exactly like them- someone who will give everything for volleyball, who will never give up, a person who complements them. and understands them. Kageyama's little backstory moment that changed everything (and fucked me up permanently) is that he's been waiting for (someone like) Hinata his entire life. So what if they're not be hanging out 24/7 outside of volleyball? (which they do hang out outside of matches btw later on in life, kageyama asked hinata to play beach vb with kunimi and kindaichi) They already have a mutual understanding about the importance of volleyball in their lives. Also like, even in the last chapter/panel of haikyuu literally just reiterates that for the two of them, volleyball and each other and intrinsically intertwined elements and that they intend on revolving around each other as partner/rivals for the rest of their lives.
If we're looking only at the anime, that list i linked above is entirely taken from season. Like, the the sheer weight of kageyama "i can spike, toss, etc by myself" tobio saying the words "as long as you're with me, you're invincible" like 1-2 episodes later?? This bullshit where kageyama extracts a promise from hinata to follow him to the top of the world still happens in the anime too. That bit in the first Seijoh match where Kageyama says that Oikawa's going to set to Iwaizumi, not because it's the most logical move but because he trusts him so innately that it's the most natural move to make and then going on to make the exact same set to Hinata in the same match?? The extra animated linger on Kageyama and Hinata's fingers touching as they stop the Miya's quick? Oikawa and Atsumu both saying that Kageyama's "wrapped around Hinata's finger"?
Like come on now, does this look like two people who are going to drift apart? Be for real. They're too obsessed with each other to do that.

I saw @/moibakadesu sharing a milgram ships tier list, so I thought I'd share my own :3
Tumblr media
conclusion: Haruka should be friends with everyone. Also Futa does not kiss girls
Fun fact, even though 0301 is my OTP now, the first ship I took a liking to when I got into milgram was 0703
I left out ships I don't have any particular feelings about. (I think it's obvious who are my favorite characters lol)

Acceptance.
Anevia is possessed with curiosity about who the document the commander is spending so much time writing is going to. she also muses on their new commander, and the bonds hes formed, especially the one with the purple theifling.
[is this in character for Anevia? idk i just woke up, wanted to write Georgie actually giving Woljif a contract for the cult idea, and then Anevia possessed me and made her n Irabeth adopt Georgie.]
-
After the party returned from their exploration and had rested up, Georgie spent a good hour head over his desk.
Anevia had been curious, a letter to family? It couldn't be more orders for the army's, as he had ordered them to stand down and rest before he himself had.
He was focusing hard, having changed sheet of paper three times already, A lover? She suppose that telling someone you alive and also telling them your leading the crusade was a hard message to get right.
But given how he had smiled upon being introduced to Sosiel, and even how he started actually looking at a certain count, she doubted that.
Family then? Teiflings don't often have that, well that can have *Familys* but not often the normal ones. She narrowed her eyes at the ring on Georgie's finger, the one that appeared after he ran of after questioning her love about informants.
She thought about Woljifs teasing about the now commander being his little brother. How said 'little brother' had sought out to solve the other teiflings problem first.
Anevia liked Georgie. She didn't like the thought of him seeking out the Family just for some sense of kinship and belonging.
Maybe she should have prompted Irabeth to have her heart to heart with him earlier. He clearly respected both of them, running to both for advice. He was a quick learner and naturally charismatic, but she meant what she'd told him, he was more dangerous now, and they didn't need him running into the arms of criminals just for acceptance of who he is.
And sue her, she liked the kid. Not just because he saved her life, or how he managed to keep his head while being thrust into the lead of their rag tag group, or even how he tried for peace and good at every opportunity, but wouldn't hesitate to summon his pets to their aid. But because he was a good kid, who saw the best in people, a kid who had been picked by the goddess or fate or whatever, and swore to himself that he would do what he thought was right.
Okay, also because she loved Irabeths smile after their heart to heart, loved how she finally had someone she could talk to about how she was immediately discriminated against for her race, who understood.
Merciful Goddess was this the so called 'motherly instinct' people harped on about?
Them and Woljif weren't the only ones, Seelah had silently claimed him as her brother once she had stopped being so preoccupied with worry over the order of the cart. Still, it seemed she was leaning on him just as much as he was her now.
Talking of Seelah, the little bigger girl, Ember, had clearly won over their commanders heart, even if Seelah was slow to warm to her deity disrespecting ways. Still, it should be but a matter of time.
Footsteps shook her out of her musings, their commander finally finished with his document. Shes waiting until the tent flaps fell back down to sneak... To walk out of the tent. As is her right. She's just visiting Irabeth about some paperwork.
Hopefully if the commander questions her he will think she's sneaking some *alone time* with her partner, not trying to find out what he was writing because of her curiosity. Sure she could just ask, but she's bored and this is fun.
And that's not a bad idea, to have some *fun* with Irabeth after.
The footsteps of the other side of the falling fabric finally reaching the end of her earshot signaled her to move. The bright chaos of the kid must have infected her too.
She walked out, schooling her body language into saying she's just checking in on the camp, with papers under her arm for Irabeth.
Both sets of horns and dark hair were together, over by the Quartermasters tent.
Georgie was shoving the piece of paper into Woljifs hands, the purple teifling trying to mask his confusion with humor.
Mm. She suddenly had the pressing need to check the resources available to the crusade...
Luckily, both were still to absorbed in their not a conversation to notice her getting closer. She shushed the Quartermaster and listened.
"-don't want you worrying I'll run off and use your idea without you getting your fair share"
"What?"She hadn't seen Woljif so off spin for a long time, he was excellent at rolling with the punches. To excellent at times.
"You asked for a contract didn't you! And I'm a man of my word" Georgie shoved the paper at him again. "Wouldn't want to chest my little brother out off-"
"- little brother? Your the little brother!" This was clearly a well worn argument and more familiar ground for the teifling.
"And I'm older than you!" Georgie shook his head "anyway I thought is write it up. Make sure you know your ideas are valued." Ignoring the look of shock on his self professed little brother face, he continued, "want to make sure you get your due, you know? You don't screw over family" and he ended it with a bright smile.
She loved this kid. Didn't love the idea they were talking about, or that they had cooked up one, but it was clear Georgie would be taking the lead out of the two of them.
She didn't need to worry about Woljif dragging the commander into a life of crime, *he* needed to worry about the kid dragging him into a life of good.
Her chuckle at the thought drew their attention,
"Hello Anevia! Do you need anything" goddess the kids happiness was blinding.
"Nothing for you to worry about Commander, just checking our inventory after we moved camp" the quartermaster joined Woljif in spluttering.
"Excellent idea! Thank you for your initiative."
Someone needed to get the quartermaster a healer before he choked.
"Well that's done now, so I'll just bring these papers to Irabeth" indicating to the ones under her arm
Georgies smile grew cheeky "Enjoy! Give her my thanks for her assistance, and I will be taking my group to deal with the Hellknights, so get some rest while you can."
She couldn't stop her smile anymore, leaving with a nod of gratitude and a wave, walking towards her love.
Get some rest indeed.

like one of my favourite story / dynamic tropes ever is “hero feels indebted to a villain for something positive they cannot possibly repay that happens while they are enemies, even though they still despise one another and are completely ideologically opposed” so that rayla claudia scene at the end really checked off my boxes

Elizabeth: Lucas is not a morning person. Or a night person. There’s really only about seven minutes a day he is fun to be around.
Lucas: The best part is you never know when they’re coming.

let me be your emergency contact, your occasional plus-one. your excuse to take a sick day when the forecast calls for sun.
[ID: Five gifs of Lucas (portrayed by Anthony Rapp) and Beth (portrayed by Idina Menzel) in the song "You Don't Need to Love Me" in the musical If/Then. Gif 1: Lucas climbs onto Beth's bed, where she is already sitting, while singing, "We'll both be self-contained—but together, not alone". Gif 2: Lucas puts a hand on his chest while singing, "You can keep me in the dark—hell, it's all I've ever known". Gif 3: Lucas sings to Beth, "But we both could use a friend who will always check the phone and take the call". Gif 4: While clutching his thumb with his other hand, Lucas sings, "You don't need to need me". Gif 5: Lucas shakes his head "no", then shrugs, while singing, "At all." /end ID]

I find it interesting how Omi was legit able to guess/figure out the reason Jack is evil in The Apprentice. He really hit the mark, even to Jack's surprise.
Does that make Omi a level 5 friend of Jacks? Omi secretly leveling up without anyone knowing!
Omi's quite observant, isn't he? I am in awe of how much understanding is between these two. As anon mentioned, Omi in that particular showdown had read Jack as an open book. But if we consider the series as a whole, Jack displays a similar tendency to understand Omi! If no one's there to correct Omi's mix-ups, Jack is ready to lend a hand... only to trick Omi and go for the wu. Only if Jack was more open-minded and less of a jerk oh boy what an awesome duo they could've been! They already click together! They mock each other as if they were quarreling siblings! They are my special boys and I would love to see their frenemy dynamic strengthen. For example, it would be best for both sides to keep up their rivalry in showdowns but maintain friendship outside Xiaolin-Heylin conflict.
The answer to anon's question, tho...
Oh my, (crying out of joy) Yes, Omi is a level 5 friend!!! But I imagine, Jack would be in denial most of the time and if Omi kept on insisting, Jack would come up with more excuses to prove they're not friends xD
To illustrate, this would turn out like this
Jack: You have to be at least level 5 to be my favorite frenemy.
Omi: Alright, what level am I?
Jack, trying to be mysterious: Wouldn't you like to know, cheeseball?
Omi, displaying his 'not amused' face: ... That was very un-nice from you, jack Spicer. I am indeed disappointed.
Jack, actually feeling bad: Ok, you're a 4.99 level! Now let me be!
Omi, gasping happily: Wowie! How can I earn that fraction to level up?
Jack, half-jokingly: idk fetch me some pudding or something.
Omi, using extra speed and returning with a pudding: I have the snack you asked for! Will you be my friend, now!?
Jack: No. There was only a vacant for a FRENEMY POSITION, Omi. I would never be your friend!
Omi, making puppy eyes: Theeeeeeeeen, are we frenemies? :D
Jack, sheepishly: erm yeah I guess!? Rules are rules... - wait NO! I'm evil! And we're done talking I have some evil to do!
Omi, his smile fading revealing a great sorrow: Don't forget your puddi, then.
Jack, snapping angrily the puddi out of Omi's hands: Bye!
Jack, turning back in mid-way to take a peek at the sad cheeseball: ... You know what? Maybe if you reach level 6 I could RECONSIDER your offer. I may be evil but sometimes I do keep my promises.
Omi, cheering up slightly: Oh! I would be moostly glad! :D
Jack, smiling: Then we have a deal.
What I'm trying to say, Jack can react in a tsundere way each time Omi is nice to him. I think I conveyed it quite clearly!
