Pls someone talk to me about the quiet codependence Rust and Marty have, the too-easy domesticity they can fall into. Their constant arguing and moral disagreement and that blends so easily into sharing clothes and a bottle and a home. The open hostility that silently becomes worry when no one else is watching. The implicit, unyielding trust that's never questioned and always counted on, between two people born and living in a world that's punished trust from the beginning.

when you’re a group of two where one is captain of the basketball team and the other is the weird genius student but you’ve finally embraced your true love for singing (and each other) and audition in the call-backs for the school winter musical after winning the basketball championships and the science decathlon, respectively.
here’s a close up or two:

AU where Kale doesn’t just yeet Chai across the room.
He’s about to, but the look of absolute outrage on Peppermint face makes him reconsider. Kale has only ever seen her that pissed when he revealed he’d been controlling their mother. Clearly she’s grown attached to this defect.
And it’s not hard to see why. As dim of a bulb as he is, Chai’s quick and strong and good for field work. Why, with his help even someone like Peppermint could rise up and cause some actual damage after she’s been swiping at his shadow for who knows how long.
Kale’s no stranger to taking chances on potential assets, not when they’re worth the work. He invested in giving Roquefort a bite to match his bark because he was brilliant. He put up with and enabled Zanzo’s eccentricities because he produced results.
And this defect? He’s clearly something special. With SPECTRA already active, that takes care of any risk involved with employing him. It doesn’t matter if Chai’s one of the dumbest people he’s ever shared the same air with; he’s really good at hitting things with his guitar and Kale would be remiss to let that go to waste.
Hell, he’ll even follow through on making him world-famous. It’d save him the PR headache of explaining away Chai defeating Mimosa in front of a fucking crowd. And when SPECTRA really takes off it’s not like they’ll have a need for a proper marketing department anyway.
So he makes Chai his new head of security and makes a note to promote someone from within to handle the cybersecurity aspect. Begins planning to make Chai the new face of Project Armstrong. Things are smoothing themselves out already.
And if he can piss off Peppermint and Korsica while also filling out his ranks? All the better. Chai’s first assignment is getting these intruders out of his sight, and he’s all too eager to follow through.

every time. every time without fail, that i go on a Dethklok/Brendan's music overall binge as I have been lately. I find myself looking at my guitar like. If only i knew how. if only i could do it right. I could hold her and shred and have fun making music.
alas. my skills are too lacking*
*to clarify, I struggle to read music & learn by ear, but my memory also struggles with remembering chords/finger placements/tabs so even tho i can usually hear how a song should go enough to identify notes & whatnot, and can, with enough time spent noodling, eventually recreate it on guitar. That is not conducive nor useful in actually playing and getting better at it and makes it feel like an Impossible Task lmao.
