Headcanon: Keanu Reeves's characters as University Students.
what an amazing prompt omfg! CW: cursing, implied homophobia, vulgar descriptions of drug use
JOHN CONSTANTINE - Religious Studies / Parapsychology. His parents would roll their eyes and friends would laugh at such a degree to work towards. “You’re kidding.” John’s dad would grumble, scoffing as his swigs a beer. “You might as well just become a priest and swear off chasin’ tail. What the fuck even is… parapsycholo-“
“I’d be studying psychic or paranormal phenomena, for your information.” John would groan, snatching his dad’s cigarette box from the porch table and lighting one up. His father, an even more cynical asshole (if you can believe it) than him, laughed in disbelief.
“You’re seriously wasting your prime years on bein’ a ghostbuster?” His dad snickered, then calling John an unsavory, homophobic slur, as per usual. These talks he has with his father always end up with one of them getting a bloody nose and their ass kicked. This time, it’s his drunk of a father.
Who knew that would end up helping him in the long run, with casting demons out of little girls and helping twins in the afterlife?
KEVIN LOMAX - Law/Finance. Of course this big shot lawyer is going to have a law degree, duh. But I also envision something else. I can picture Kevin pulling a Jordan Belfort, scamming rich fools into investing into shitty companies. Money laundering, tax evasion, snorting cocaine out of a hired woman’s ass, all at the top of a sky scraper in the financial district in the Big Apple. He definitely skipped class to sleep in or recover from a previous night’s partying. It didn’t matter though, Kevin is stupidly smart and hardly needs to study to pass any sort of exam.
NEO - Computer Programming. Do I even have to explain this one? Late nights, redbull, he’s gotta pass somehow, and these classes are making Neo work for it.
JACK TRAVEN/JOHNNY UTAH - Criminal Justice. These boys in blue were at the top of their class at their respective programs, Utah for the FBI, and Traven for the LAPD police academy. It always helps to have a bit of book smarts to go along with their pretty faces.
JOHN WICK - Our favorite Russian assassin didn’t go to college, we already know this. However, if he did, I can see our man going in for a History or English degree. Years pass and he graduates, getting a job at some middle school out of state to get far away from his past life as he can. Mr. Wick is a fantastic teacher, the boys think he’s cool as hell and the girls think he’s scary but unfortunately he knows what he’s doing. Mr. Wick has already promised himself never to mix personal life with his job, just like he did in the past when he did hits for a living. That is until parent-teacher conferences happen at the end of the semester. When one of his favorite kiddos brings in their single mom, and he can barely hold it together in front of her.
Embarrassing.

the origins novel devil's advocate, i need to know more !!
omg!! i’m a little drunk atm but i shall try to explain:
Tumblr media
so devil’s advocate is the one on the right and is scully-focused, while the one one the left is mulder-focused and they both take place around the same time in 1979 (mulder and scully actually visit the same coffee shop slash bookstore within like three hours of each other which makes me lose my mind every time i think of it but that’s a side point lol)
anyway here’s the summary:
Tumblr media
btw: mulder and scully meet skinner in craiger in paper clip i think and i vaguely remember a fic mentioning this (i think it was lost time by hellsteeth but i could be wrong)
anyway i don’t wanna give away too many spoilers but i love this book so much and i also love the mulder one and i highly recommend both
i just got an email notif for the next chapter of gaslight so i’m gonna post this and skedaddle lol

Being a Devil's advocate here. I'm half thinking Buck will be jealous of a work opportunity Eddie has and the deeper meaning of the jealousy will be Buck's feelings of unworthiness that he needs to address. This is the theory I'm using to keep me sane until I see the episode. Do I want that to happen? NO. Do I think it will happen? I don't even know. But it's what keeping me from clowning too close to the sun. ;)
Yes! Thank you! This is exactly what I need to keep me sane as well. Lmao.
Okay, yes, that’s a possibility. With Buck being upset that Eddie could consider leaving the 118 - and thus also Buck - “so easily”. Thinking Eddie has found a new job and a new best friend all at once, and where does that leave him?
I hear you. I need something to ground me as well, because the disappointment is going to be hard if it isn’t what we’re all hoping for.

I don’t trust people that play “devil’s advocate.” They’re generally just trying to voice their actual racism/bigotry/hatred behind a smokescreen of plausible deniability.

I was watching “Devil’s Advocate” and I swear Al Pacino scared the hell out of me. I really think the devil would look & act just like John Milton. John Milton was seductive, charming, handsome, & intelligent. I literally can see myself sleeping with John Milton & falling in love w/ his ass. Al Pacino deserved an Oscar I swear he really convinced me he was Kevin Lomax’s father/Satan. The way Kevin’s mother looked at Milton on the elevator made me scared of Milton from there on out. Like “Devil’s Advocate” had me hooked I forgot how good it was. Keanu Reeves really went toe to toe with Al Pacino and he stood his ground 👏🏾👏🏾. I really believe John Milton is the devil.

Clearly there are extenuating circumstances that have led to less talk reader getting engaged to that fucker. She says she "needs" him, maybe she's just been made to feel emotionally dependent on him, maybe there's something financial. But it's clearly not simple for her. So I personally don't understand the hate.
And that's definitely not because I too am an argumentative, emotionally closed off bitch. 🥴 (i love her) (i hope she gets her shit together and opens up to Jake) (and leaves Mustang)
P.S. Love less talk!
Ahh I am so glad that somebody has spoken up on reader’s behalf! Yes, she’s reluctant to place her trust in a cocky aviator who, up until very recently, has been a total jackass to her. I’m sure he’s not terribly surprised that it’s taking her a minute to catch up. Sure, he’s finally opened up, but that doesn’t mean she’s gotta be on his timeline 🤷‍♀️

Hot take🔥
The people that whine about “Devil’s Advocate”, what they really mean is “I’m just a little bitch who is too weak and small minded to deal with someone challenging my worldview.”
Like, I’m so sorry you’re such a weak delicate little flower, I really am 😢
