Hi! Love your writing! If it's still open, could you please do 18 with Callum being the one who says it? (TDP)

18.
"I need to change the bandages," Callum says after a moment of inspection, unsurprised by the way Rayla scowls.
"But—"
"That wasn't a request, Rayla." He pulls away from her wounded arm, searching for the seam she's tucked beneath the primary length of the bandages. The med tent of Ezran's war camp is busy enough that he's the one tending to her, and he knows if he doesn't Rayla will slink off and mismanage it on her own. "Now you can either hold still or help me get this off."
There's a beat when he thinks she might argue before she sighs and leans into him, head resting lightly on his shoulder, her other side injured. "Fine."
She grimaces a little as he peels the bloody bandages away but holds still, which was his preference of the two options. This way she actually has to rest and she's not only to possibly agitate the cut further.
It does seem to be healing well, though, as Callum wets a rag with an Ocean rune and cleans carefully, glad more than ever he'd paid attention in Soren's first aid lessons over the years.
Rayla leans into him again once he's done, her gaze downward. "Thanks," she mumbles.
He tilts his head up and kisses her forehead. "Anything for my very brave Moonshadow elf."
Because she is brave and only getting braver, every time she accepts his help, every time she asks for his help before the breaking point, or even within it.
Rayla softens, lips twitching upward, taking his hand and squeezing it before she rises. "Come on, Mister Mage. We should go find Ez. I'm sure he could use seeing some friendly faces."

So I put on this netflix show, in their tradition of being extremely obvious with names its called Mech Cadets, and its an alien-mecha human-pilot fight-the-giant-bug-aliens story. My first complaint is that the alien mechas are called Robo's. Wow exciting /sarcasm.
Anyway thats totally forgiven because 1 the story actually makes choices and puts the characters through consequences instead of like hinting at oh it something bad gonna happen psych we dont have the guts for that. Its a kid/teen show so its not super dark but it follows through and goes the places it needs to.
2, and maybe most importantly, I gotta talk about the disability rep. There's four teens chosen by the alien mechs to be their drift-compatible pilots (I think im using that correctly? Im not super informed on the genre but I know some), and we see straight away that one of the guys has a prosthetic leg from the thigh down, and uses it as an example to tell the main protagonist, hey none of us are perfect we dont have to be perfect we just need to be human. The next episode the mechas are given human-designed weapons to fight with, and the disabled kid gets these flippy sticks I cant quite work out. One of them gets a staff, the other gets this glove for punching, story moves on.
Then a bug-alien-antagonist gets into the teens dorm and while fighting it, the alien dismembers the guys prosthetic. He immediately grabs his crutches and goes to town on it with his crutches, and balancing on them to kick with his one good foot*. Then they disconnect the rest of the prosthetic and use its sharp edge to kill the alien. And then he just moves around on his crutches with no comment and Ill cut myself off there so I dont spoil the whole thing.
Except, a couple episodes later, Im watching him in the mech fighting and moving around, and I realise that his giant fuck-off monster attacking weapons ARE A PAIR OF CRUTCHES. Theyre his fucking WEAPONS. Thats cool as fuck!

ok i dont think this is anything related to the watchmaker and all that stuff, but i think its insane that the Family turns traitors into memory zone memes because the concept of the memory zone memes is just that they were created by the true Dreamscape and from the emotions of those within the Dreamscape
this was from the emoscape with Mr McCoy in Dewlight Pavilion, where he was ordered by the Dreammaster to turn his siblings, who were apparently selling information to the IPC about the Family, into memory zone memes, but now i'm wondering just how many people got turned into memory zone memes for being a traitor
I would have said too that maybe the Family - trying to seek out the traitor and the killer of the first Oak Family Head - framed the Watchmaker and possibly turned him into a memory zone meme as well, but the Family is trying to search for the Watchmaker so that's less likely the case. But I just love seeing how fucked up actually the Family can be AND getting more information about the Dreammaster since there really isn't much of anything
