Both are attending a meeting with some business partners but soon they insult and make fun of Gil getting himself shot. Thena isn’t having it at all and soon they are begging for mercy and forgiveness 😈
For the tyrant king au of course 😁
"Then we're agreed."
Gil stood, although he hadn't said nearly as much in the meeting as Thena had with their associates. The businessmen in question were mostly interested in Thena's assets, after all, it was just that some of their 'goods' would be distributed through Thena's channels, as well as through Koreatown and Chinatown.
He wasn't nearly interested enough in what was being said; he wanted to be at home, with Thena, cuddling on the couch or listening to her read in bed while he played on his phone.
"Indeed we are," Thena nodded. The businessmen offered their hands, but Thena looked over at him. The Ice Queen didn't shake hands unless she was already acquainted with her associate.
Gil sighed, extending his hand to shake instead. The things he did for this woman. "I'm sure our doors will be open if you need to discuss anything else about the plans."
"Thank you," the associates traded looks, "Tyrant King. Your reputation precedes you. We have heard so much about your work."
He wasn't entirely sure what that was supposed to mean, but he slipped his hands into his pockets as they prepared to end the meeting, "great."
"Is it true you killed Kro?" the younger associate of the two asked in a near whisper, a juvenile glee coming from him as he asked.
"No," Gil answered without hesitation. The younger man looked disappointed before he moved his thumb towards Thena beside him, "she did."
"Ah yes, the Ice Queen is not without her own methods."
Gil caught Thena's eye for just a second. Again, he wasn't really sure what this young guy's deal was, but he was more and more eager to wrap things up.
"But The Prince Eternal, that most certainly was you!" the other associate now joined in. Technically, it was bad decorum--bringing up past business that wasn't anything they should be concerned with, Gil thought.
"Uh, yeah," Gil blinked. He wasn't sure how they had found that one out.
"Ah," the older one at least seemed to realise how rude they were being. "Forgive the intrusion. We do have quite a skilled information dealer we consulted before coming. Can't be ignorant to our honourable host's reputations, after all."
"You can be a little ignorant," Gil mumbled, although it was taken as more of a friendly joke than how he meant it--a genuine urging for them to get the fuck out of his office.
"You've had quite the past, Tyrant King!" the younger one chimed in again. "A bungled affair, sending business away left and right!"
"You even got shot last year!"
Perhaps they were unable to read the room--like, at all. But the two seemed elated to prove that they knew the lives of their business associates. They even grinned at him as they said it.
"It happens," the younger one waved it off like it was nothing, "I don't think you're past your prime at all!"
Gil bit his tongue. He didn't realise that was an opinion people had of him. What--because he got shot?! He didn't see how that was his fault.
"It was the fall of one of the great families in the business back in Korea! Their daughter still hasn't been seen in public."
Gil resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"Do you know why that is?"
Gil felt a shiver run up even his spine, and he wasn't the one in trouble. He looked at the men who, by the calm looks on their faces, didn't seem to know yet why the temperature had changed so much.
Thena just stared at them, but they didn't make a guess at all. So, she informed them. "It's because I cut off one of her fingers before I sent her back to them."
The two men looked at one another. Apparently that wasn't in the briefing done by their precious 'information dealer' (horseshit). They put on perfectly polite smiles. "We were unaware, Ice Queen."
"Most are," Thena continued to fix them with her icy green glare. She rustled her lace around her shoulders. "I also told her that she would be relieved of her ears next, if I ever saw her near me, or my husband, again."
"Your-"
"We weren't-"
Poor guys didn't even see it coming. They could have just looked down when Thena adjusted her lace to see that she had reached for her hip. Her fingers had grasped the knife she kept around her thigh, which was now driven into the younger man's leg, dangerously close to some key arteries.
She looked at the other one, who flinched just from that. "I take threats - and disrespect - of the Tyrant King very seriously."
"I-I-I would-" he stuttered, trying to back up to the office doors behind him. But he could never have moved fast enough, getting another of her knives launched into the palm of his hand he had been trying to use to show her he meant no harm.
The younger one pulled the knife out of his thigh, but he wasn't in any condition to fight back. Thena used the sole of her heel to push him over in his crumpled posture, like a wounded animal.
"Did you find the story thrilling?" she asked so dryly and evenly. Gil watched as she reached into the younger man's suit jacket and pulled out the weapon he had in an arm holster. She held it in a way that was kind of sexy, honestly. "Did you find it amusing?"
"I'm sorry!" he yelped, trying to crawl, but his leg was all but useless. "I'm sorry, I won't say it again!"
"Do you know where he was shot?" she turned to the other one, who sprinted to the doors and pulled on them to escape.
She shot him from behind, two in the ribs and one by his clavicle (if he had been turned around facing her). "Is it painful?"
Gil just whistled to himself, impressed as always. Thena didn't even look back at him; she wasn't done.
She walked over to the man dragging his bloody hand down Gil's nice, solid oak door. Again, she used her foot to nudge him into looking up at her. "I said: is it painful?"
"Y-Yes," the man snivelled.
"Yes?" Thena glared down at him, flipping his hand over and stepping on it (the injured one).
"Y-Yes--yes, Ice Queen!"
Thena emptied the rest of the clip next to his head, scaring him very literally shitless. She left him kneeling on the floor, watching his life flash before his eyes. The completely empty and useless weapon, she tossed at the head of the other one, letting it smack him in the face like tossing a food wrapper in the garbage.
Gil pulled his hands out of his pockets just to clap. "Holy shit, Princess, that was hot!"
She glared at him, "is that truly the adjective you wish to choose?"
"Okay," he chuckled, walking over to her to amend his compliment. He kissed her temple, wrapping his arm around her, "it was ice cold."
Thena rolled her eyes at the silly joke (as the men screamed and cried in agony in the background). "That was far worse."
"Yeah, but that's why you're marrying me," Gil snickered, positively delighted to bring up their engagement at every possible opportunity.
Thena sighed, straightening his collar and unbuttoning his shirt, now that they weren't in a very important meeting. She liked seeing the edges of his tattoo sleeves encroaching on his shoulders. "I would not say that is why."
"Okay, okay," he chuckled, leading her out of the office that was about to stink of blood and evacuated bowels. "My devilish good looks were too much to resist, huh?"
Thena didn't chide him, at least, letting him lead her away from the mess they left inside. She merely let her lace settle in the crooks of her elbows as he led her to the elevators. "I am willing to agree if it gets us home that much faster."
Gil pointed at his office from the elevator doors, "that's gonna need a good bleaching."
"Understood sir!" his guys knew what that meant, and exactly what evidence to wash out of his area rugs.
Once they were in the elevator, away from prying eyes, Thena allowed him to nuzzle her cheek. "What an exhausting meeting."
"I barely remember anything from it," he agreed, and the way she laughed meant that he didn't need to tell her that. He kissed her cheek, "but I do remember you saying that you felt like sushi tonight."
"Something light, please," she sighed, allowing him to unravel the tight knots that comprised her business persona.
"Anything you desire, Ice Queen," Gil purred for her. He would tell her when they were home how sexy he found her whole defense of him. Maybe he could even get her to be a little pushy with him tonight.

it's weird that a show as bad as and as depressing as the 100 could possibly be counted as "comfort show" material for anyone at all especially me because not ONLY is it bad . featuring as it does inconsistent characterization, poor plotting, what was by all accounts an unpleasant workplace experience, and a showrunner who actively plotted to irritate and harass not only the viewers but his own employees, but it is ALSO depressing and even if it was a good show with strong writing and an intelligent, level-headed creative taskmaster, it would be depressing. it's about multiple instances of failed survivalism at the end of the history of earth's civilization. it's about the failure of good intentions to make a dent against greed, paranoia, and the desire for violence. that shit makes me so morbid and miserable BUT . when watched sparingly, by like half a season or so at a time, that show is a comfort show. there's hot people in it . good actors for the most part. they're dragging each other around in the mud and appearing against a gorgeous temperate rainforest. occasionally they'll go to a desert for some variety. the soundtrack wasn't bad. clexa was there . the harmon siblings even

A couple of cute scenes with benn and little luffy in episode 1030, there's a pretty freaking intimidating part with a sound and focus on one of his eyes nothing happens but bandits are scared straight 👁 wouldn't surprise me much to learn he has conquerors in the future some vice Captains of important crews do.
I don't think Benn NEEDS conquer's haki. I think the Benn Glare™ is more powerful than any haki could be.
Like, whatcha gonna do? Attack Benn Beckman?
Oh, no, um, please sir. Mistakes were made.
Mistakes were made.

I’ll be honest and like I’m only on s2 so idk if it’s early for me to write off the Lego knights but like their characters are so woefully 1 dimensional holy hell. They have a lot of potential and sorry idk if I’m offending anyone here but nexo fandom? I’m stealing all your knights and revamping them bc I’m crazy (and it will be fun)
Edit: this is an opinion. Anyone’s free to disagree. You’re still valid if you think these characters are well written. This was not meant to be an attack on anyone. This is how I in general enjoy consuming content. By analysing critically and reconstructing canon into my own fanon specifically for my own entertainment. It’s not serious. It’s not a jab at anyone. And I still enjoy the show even if it’s badly written. Like someone said in the comments, it’s actually sometimes a good thing to watch shows that don’t have as much writing quality.
Edit 2: this post has nothing to do with Ninjago. This isn’t a comparison. This is not me saying “Ninjago is better and because nexo isn’t Ninjago, it’s trash”. I’d have these opinions regardless. Also the tags are still not supposed to be an attack. Its just reasoning that back up my first point. It should be okay to acknowledge and think critically of characters
#i mean I’m sure that’s what people do anyways#like clay is alright and yknow he lends very well into tryhard#lance is literally just a rich white boy and yknow we didn’t need it at fucking all but at least he character develops for a second so he#can have a pet pig#i will#i will kill#I’ll kill everyone because Macy’s singular thing is being subject to misogyny by everyone#idk how anyone can watch this show without wanting to take a mace themselves and stab shit#holy fuck#everytime#it’s just like#abusive#yknow Ik nya kinda had it too#but in Ninjago everyone was oh haha oops I said a sexist my bad won’t happen again#and she got badass real quick and everyone was like hell yeah and no one said she can’t be badass#but in nexo they aren’t even hiding it#everyone is blatantly blatantly sexist and it’s incredibly public and even if they aren’t perpetuating it they don’t defend macy at all#there was that one quote where macy was like ‘you guys don’t ever have to question you’re a knights’ and that fucking hurt mannn#it’s fine to address sexism but also can we give macy a personality outside of being abused left right centre#also let’s not treat misogyny as something women should overcome#but as something that misogynists need to change so that women don’t have to put up with their bull#also like is Aaron just supposed to funny? ok#and fucking axel man#petition to abolish the bigger character who likes to eat haha trope bc it’s not funny and it gives no character depth and it stereotypes#bigger ppl and I think it’s just kinda offensive ykno#i mean idk especially in this case it’s just annoying man#tbh I’m only here for the clown who got so depressed who managed to get into an abusive relationship a book#nexo knights#lego nexo knights

"There's people cryin' in a state of sorrow And under shootin' through the right of power There's no more time to hesitate The hour's getting late And you won't be ready when the night come down"
It still blows my mind that Redbone released a double album as their debut album. And I still don't know why they did...or, maybe I should say, why they were 'allowed' to (by their record company). I mean, I hope it'd be because the album is fucking awesome and the whole thing deserves to be heard by everyone at least once. I'm just curious if there were other factors that led to that happening, though. And finding any sort of historical context about Redbone pre-Wovoka (1973) online is pretty much none, aside from some history of how the band formed.

Hmm. . . That rude ass person who said that it would be easier to connect the people or Orkney to the Fomorians instead of the vikings & the fomorians is probably wrong tbh.
I'm double checking what we have of Scottish origin myths and while they do seem to pay more attention to the origin of the land itself & nature in general, the basic premise of how people got there seems to match the Irish mythological cycle.\
Also, there's a possibility that foxes in ireland were considered to be the hunting dogs of vikings, and tracing down this rumor is leading me to a lot of discussion about cultural back and forth between Iceland and Ireland, so . . .
I think my theory of the vikings == fomorians and similarities between vanir & tuatha are still worth exploring
