“Please don’t lie to me again, I can’t take it.”

Nicholas & Barry

(Pain times)

Sentence starters

On that day Nicholas actually wanted to meet up with Barry for a date.... having a nice suit on and sitting at a fountain reading something... but then he noticed time passing... he waited and waited... till it was lightly turning dark.... sending a message to Barry but still he got no answer... some thoughts entered his mind.

"Yeah this man... he is a filthy cheater from what I heard."

"Not only did he abandon his own girlfriend but he had a kid with the woman and doesn't even take care of it."

"The Parton family in general is just horrid... each one of them... yes even that famous model probably just plays the nice lady."

He heard the rumor all the time but he decided to ignore it... what about those days they drank some tea together and got closer.... those times Barry tried horse riding for him...

With dissapointment he slapped his face awake and decided it be best to ask him himself... why would he just not come to this date, how much of those rumors are true and what does he truely feel? Nicholas wanted to have those answers now.

As he send a message to Barry he said he was at courtyard yet that was another lie... so Nicholas went straight to his dorm and his room instead of being led on the next message he wrote. As he entered Barrys room and saw him look away from him, he pulled him up by the collar in anger.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, WHY AREN'T Y-"

He let his collar go after what he saw... seeing a big blue eye on Barry and some marks and signs of being wounded by someone... sitting down with him.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Cause I know you would pry and make things worse for my mood currently and.... cause I got this blue eye for you?"

"How? "

"My parents... I told my father I wanted to be with you... I wanted it to be a surprise to our date but..."

Nicholas pulled him in his arms and held him close.

“Please don’t lie to me again, I can’t take it.”

"I... know... I can't fully promise you that but... when its important... I will tell you from now on."

"Then let me get this eye treated for you, we can still stay here together."

Barry tried to muster up a smile but he was still under shock, Nicholas slightly punched his leg at the thought how far Barrys parents would got to change him... if only he would have been there with him.

23 Republican Senators & 124 Congressmen signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court asking for a 50 state ban on mifepristone, a drug safer than tylenol that is standard treatment for abortion & miscarriages, "due to safety concerns". The brief DARES to argue that banning the life saving drug would save women from 'reproductive control'. (x) These 147 people would rather have women die of sepsis than let women control their own bodies. If your representatives are on this list, call them and tell their office you will be voting against them in the next election because they asked SCOTUS to throw the US medical drug system into chaos at the cost of American lives.

what are your thoughts about krycek's kill in sleepless?

i think i made some kind of small post about this like a month ago but i'm going to get more into it now that you've sent me an ask about it specifically. unleashing the beast.

ok so i don't know if this is like. #controversial or whatever but i don't actually think he was faking his reaction to killing augustus cole! i do think that was baby's first murder.

in the LSG media x-files podcast, one of the hosts points out that, at the end of sleepless, krycek kind of has no choice but to kill cole. cole wants to die, and was going to die either way (he was clearly planning to jump off the ledge of the vehicle yard building before being confronted by mulder)--but he knows that mulder isn't going to do it, so he puts it on krycek by manipulating him into seeing the gun where the bible was. there's obviously no way for krycek to fake that, it's external. so if he thinks that his partner is about to get shot, what does he do? if he wasn't a spy, he'd do what he's supposed to do according to what they teach you at the FBI, which is to shoot cole (the hostile suspect) before he can shoot mulder (the LEO). he is a spy, but he still has to do what he's supposed to do, because if he doesn't, it'll blow his cover.

the conversation between krycek and the cigarette-smoking man in ascension makes it pretty obvious that krycek is like. at this point, basically an errand boy. a foot soldier AT MOST. the cigarette-smoking man tells krycek, among other things, that he "has no rights, only orders to be carried out," and that if he has problems with that, they'll "make other arrangements," which is like. very obviously a threat that krycek seems disquieted by, placing him in what is probably a relatively low position in the syndicate's hierarchy. he's a mole, someone who watches and passes along information--not the kind of operative that assassinates people.

we get basically nothing on krycek in terms of backstory/what he was doing before being introduced into the story (which in almost all cases i think is a plus) but to be honest i don't think there would have been any reason for him to have killed anybody before cole. krycek mentions in ascension that the cigarette-smoking man "had" him do something--we infer that this is related to the death of duane barry at the least, if not also what happened to the tram operator at skyland mountain--so we know that he wasn't doing that of his own accord, he was receiving orders. we see him doing the same thing in anasazi (before the cigarette-smoking man decides he's a loose end that needs to be tied), except now he seems to be being specifically ordered to carry out hits; likely because somebody, somewhere, saw what he did in ascension and decided that he could handle it. i don't believe that that was always his job, and i definitely don't think that it was anywhere NEAR his job during the period of time he was assigned to be mulder's partner. the confrontation the end of sleepless puts him in the position to kill someone when he wasn't intended to be, and he does it, and after they realize he can do it, he's put in positions where he has to do it more. if it helps the government cover up the fact that they've been doing fucked up experiments on people, that's an added bonus.

part of this can be attributed to nicholas lea being a good actor, obviously, but i think when it comes to determining this sort of thing, it's physical reactions that tend to sell it. at the end of the scene, right before the cut to mulder finding out his file's been stolen from the car, there's the shot of mulder and krycek leaning over cole's body in the vehicle yard building. it's the most well-lit part of the scene, and there's a long shot focusing on the bible lying at cole's side where he'd dropped it as he fell. it's pretty zoomed in, since the focus is on the book, but both mulder and krycek are partially visible in-shot. mulder, who we know has killed people before, doesn't enjoy it but is familiar with it, is very sober and still; krycek's hand is shaking so hard it's changing the reflections on the face of his wristwatch.

so yeah, i do think augustus cole was the first time he ever killed anyone, and i think his hesitations and reactions were real. frankly i think most of his reactions to things regarding the case were real; he might be part of the alien cover-up conspiracy but i feel like maybe that doesn't prepare you for war veterans that can kill people with their minds. i guess it's the sort of thing where it's like. he COULD have been faking it? "it" being the fear and anxiety and immediate shock of killing a person for the first time. even though i think the emotions that you must be experiencing after you kill someone for the first time, especially if you didn't necessarily want to do it--residual fear, sick adrenaline, some kind of fucked up relief--would be pretty difficult to fake, particularly if you're trying to fool one of the best psychologists in the bureau, i don't doubt that he could have gotten away with faking it if he'd had to. but i just think it's a little more interesting if he didn't

#for all i know he'd been whacking people for years before the cole case but i find that less engaging somehow #i just think it's fascinating to see him go from someone who gags at a corpse in a morgue #to someone who kills without flinching or even asking questions. and this all happens almost fully offscreen over the course of like a year #he has his own character arc his own moral degradation his own downfall we just never see it. bc obviously neither do mulder and scully #and he never seems to take joy in it really but he also has an air of. idk. being desensitized to it #like he's found out how the world works and has lost his capacity to care #'i have of late (but wherefore i know not) lost all my mirth; forgone all custom of exercises;#and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition; that this goodly frame the earth seems to me a sterile promontory'#unrelated but the lighting in that scene was so good. the heavy shadows give such weight to the atmosphere. very well done
