hello, hello! Hope you’re having a great day!
I was scrolling through my photos when I found this screenshot
Apologies for the poor quality.
I have no idea where I got this image from, but could you assist me in finding this? Thank you :)
No rush, ofc
ah, an absolute classic. nothin' is better than seein' that picture of Woody where he's just a head and a leg. plus that smile. that damned smile...
but either way, findin' this post was a breeze! all i had to do was check a couple of the usernames in the chain until i found one that was still active. from there, i searched for "send help" of all things and found it in seconds. i quickly filed that relic away.
here you are! a bit of advice, i'd recommend stretchin' that joint thta connects your leg bone to your head bone at least twice a day. have a great day!
Post Case: Closed

Hope this isn’t too random, but a super fluffy idea popped into my head recently and I thought you’d like it:
Remember how in “If you playin me”, Spider likes to play old music on his Ukulele? (or was it a guitar?)
What if he started playing a song that he only knows the notes for, but it happens to be one of Quaritch’s favorite songs, so he starts humming, then hesitantly signing the lyrics, all while Spider can’t believe his ears.
I thought of this while hearing the song “I Walk the Line”, since it gave me Quaritch vibes, but there are a lot of songs that could work.
Anyways, sorry again if this is random, but your fics literally live rent free in my head!
Hey! I am so sorry it's taken me so long to reply! You're right it was a ukulele! 💞 I'd not listened to this song before, but now I have and I love it!
Spider strummed the first chord experimentally, listening to the sound thoughtfully before figuring out a strumming pattern that fit. He had a song in mind, but he hadn't played it in years. He could barely remember the words, but the plucking pattern was so distinctive that once the melody had reoccurred in his mind, he couldn't get it out of his head. He experimented plucking until he found the right sound, and began to hum the tune softly.
He was in a secluded spot near the clearing, passing the time while the rest of the squad cooked the yerik that they'd caught earlier that day. He wasn't supposed to go beyond the treeline, but Spider figured Quaritch wouldn't be too pressed that he'd strayed a little further than normal. He just wanted some privacy.
So it was with a gasp that he spun around at the sound of Quaritch's voice behind him. Immediately he stopped playing, begging his human skin not to flush with embarassment. He hated being snuck up upon.
"Why d'you stop?" Quaritch chuckled softly, eyeing him with what Spider assumed was a patronising glance.
Spider huffed. "Some jackass interrupted me." He turned back around on his fallen tree trunk, showing the Colonel his back and hoping he'd take the hint.
He waited, expecting Quaritch to make a snarky retort and head back to the fire, but there was no sound of movement. Annoyed, he turned back around. "What?"
Quaritch had taken a seat on a different log, with an expectant look on his face. "I'm waiting for you to continue," he said.
Spider laughed sarcastically. "Yeah. Okay. Wait all night then."
"Did you forget the words?" Quaritch asked.
Spider was so disarmed by the question, it took him a moment to form a response. "What? No." What was the guy's problem? Spider just wanted to be left alone.
What happened next was so unexpected that Spider didn't quite know how to feel about it. Quaritch spoke the words that Spider had been searching for ever since the damn melody swam its way back from his memory.
"I keep a close watch on this heart of mine,
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line..."
Spider was shocked. "How do you know that?"
Quaritch laughed. "Am I not allowed to enjoy music? Johnny Cash was a great artist."
Spider threw him a look of utter annoyance. He'd always liked this song. He wasn't sure when he first heard it, but it was wayyy back in his childhood. The fact that Quaritch also liked it? That wasn't fair.
He sniffed. "It's pretty boring, actually."
"Is that why you've been trying to play it for the past hour?"
Spider sighed, bringing a hand up to run it through his hair. The man was too much. "Will you leave me alone or not?" The sounds of the recoms chatting shit around the fire and laughing at Mansk's new roasting suggestions beckoned them both to return.
"Sure, kid," Quaritch rumbled, though not before pausing for a moment to ruffle Spider's hair, successfully displacing the locs he'd just tried to smooth down.
Spider let his scowl reply for him, biting back a retort as Quaritch left him to it, traipsing back through the undergrowth to the centre of camp. He waited until he was definitely back out of earshot before returning to the ukulele.
"I keep a close watch on this heart of mine..."
