John’s thumb moved against the inside of Ross’ wrist and his eyes were on Ross’ face. “It’s okay if you’re not alright,” he said. “It’s okay if you’re—” He stopped, frowning and looking down at their hands on the table. “It’s okay if you’re struggling with whatever Matty’s struggling with. Do you know what I mean?”
Ross thought he did, but he also felt himself closing up. He drew his hand back and dropped it into his lap. “Can we talk about something else?” he asked.
“We can talk about anything you’d like,” John said, smiling at him and meaning it. Under the table, Ross’ knee knocked into John’s and John’s knee knocked back.

new post-canon life for Garak I can't stop thinking about: the people want the last surviving member of Damar's Rebellion™️ to have a government job, but in the end with a bit of finessing, it's as... head of the Parks Department. I want him to live Parks and Rec as Cardassian Ron Swanson. Him being all private and closed off at the office bc that's how he gets his kicks (or maybe he has a secret like Ron's jazzsona, like a bunch of orphans he secretly adopted, or writing poetry under a pen name, or secretly dating a human long distance-), but his coworkers lovingly bully him into being Part Of The Team. Okay mostly I just want to inflict Cardassian Leslie Knope upon him

His room smelled stale, unlived in, and it looked exactly how it had when Matty left it. The same clothes piled up on the bed. The same book laid face down on his bedside table. The same overflowing ashtray on the window sill. He’d half expected George to have relished the opportunity to organize and clean everything while he was away. But it looked as though George had simply closed the door and walked away, as if Matty had died and needed to be memorialized.
He opened up the window, letting in frigid but fresh air. He pushed the clothes off the bed and onto the floor. He stretched himself out on the bed, lying flat on his back, feeling as if he were in a sort of limbo. The room fit him oddly, like an old suit, somehow both too small and too big. He didn’t feel like himself but he didn’t feel like someone else. He felt like no one.

Yai went from almost? sex offender (I'm not sure if he's used any of the bdsm equipment or recreational drugs on anyone else, maybe apart from Da) to fragile, summer child who communicates well.
I'd like to think that the writers changed their mind about both Yai and Mangkorn's character motivations after ep 3 (because ep 3 and beyond showed significant improvement in both storytelling and cohesion). Or maybe it's just Mosbank adjusting to scenes better now that they don't have to pretend they hate each other.
Star Hunter is the real MVP tonight tho. Well-shot bl with a second season? You deserve my allegiance sir.

A teaser for the next chapter of Big Reputation:
Kuhn Korn was an intimidating man in an intimidating house and Porsche was consequently quite intimidated.
It could be because he was surrounded by alphas and felt like he was drowning under the combination of scents; aggression and bravado seeping out of all of them in waves. It could even be him sitting in this… compound, surrounded by the quiet sort of wealth that even in his wildest dreams he would never be able to fathom.
Kinn grounded him though. They weren’t sat next to each other, rather, across from each other, separated by the enormous table, but still. Being in the alpha’s presence after five years. It was enough.
Something broken in him was being stitched back together, inciting a suspicion in him that he didn’t want to- could not explore at the moment.
Being in the presence of two alphas such as Kuhn Korn and Kinn made him want to stay on his toes.
