Comfort Food || Flora/Juliette

Who: Flora Devereaux & Juliette Fabray When: August 2nd-ish (lol) Where: Quinn Fabray’s Home Summary: The Southern ladies cook up a storm, helping to feed all those who have come to see Quinn. @inkstainedfingersfabray

Flora didn’t like to travel alone, it always made her nervous. She should have gone with Judy, it would have been so much easier, less stressful, less worry. This time she had the power of music to soothe her, she bought herself an Ipod and figured out how to use it. She was able to follow the instructions and set up her music library. She focused on her music for the whole trip, glad to be off the death box in the sky.

She met Juliette and they shared a very long hug before breaking apart and heading off to grab some groceries, “I need a good stress relief, I think we should cook up a feast, all our favorites.” Flora came to the realization that New York was very expensive but this was an emergency and ignored the price. “So, where are we going to cook all of this?”

Juliette smiled, just having her mother there made her feel a thousand times more confident that everything would turn out for the better. And the fact that she’d get some home cooking out of this helped, even if the reason behind it was one she’d rather have done without. “Have I got a kitchen for you.” She said, picking up as many of the bags as she could hold in her arms. “C’mon Momma. You’ve got to see this to believe it.”

The trip to Quinn’s took long enough that Juliette’s arms were aching by the time they got their but it was worth--or it would be once she got to stuff herself with her Momma’s cooking--and it was a short job to get them both into Quinn’s house even if she did have to put down several of the bags to do it. “This way,” she said, motioning with her head as she lead Flora through Quinn’s house in a beeline for the Kitchen. The grand tour would wait until Judy could join them after she got back from the hospital.

When Flora set her peepers on the house she nearly passed out, “This is the kind of house you only see on television.” Flora followed Juliette inside and gasped when she saw everything, she knew Quinn was well off but this was insane. “Heavens,” She nearly dropped the eggs when she saw the size of the kitchen, she had never cooked in one this size- it didn’t even look used. “The things I can do in here,” She blinked in disbelief, “okay, let’s put everything away in this huge fridge. I need a moment to gather myself before we begin.” Flora started to help Juliette put things away, leaving out a few things that needed to be room temperature. She sat down on a stool and looked over at her Sunflower, “How are you doing, Sunflower?”

It was hard not to laugh at her Mother’s reaction--so much like her own had been the first time she’d seen the kitchen--but Juliette managed to contain her amusement long enough for it to subside as they put away the majority of the perishables. It wasn’t until Flora asked how she was doing that the reason why they were where they were returned in sharp relief and the smile that have been on her face since seeing her Mother at the airport dimmed.

“I’ve been better.” She said quietly, nodding her head as she spoke, then crossed over to wrap her arms around Flora in a tight, needy hug. “I was so scared, Momma. One minute everything was fine and then…” Juliette shook her head, blinking against the heat building around the rims of her eyes. “She’s gonna be okay though, I know it. The doctors say she’s going to be okay, that’s what Saphira told me and she wouldn’t lie, would she?”

Flora wrapped her arms around Juliette and smiled, holding her close. “I know that feeling, it’s a very scary time but everything will be okay.” She rubbed her back and placed a kiss to her head, “She is in very good hands, they are going to take very good care of her. The doctors are going to work their magic and she is going to pull through. Saphira doesn’t seem like the person to lie,” Truth be told, she had no idea if Saphira was lying but this was something Juliette needed to hear. “Let’s get ready to cook a big feast for our friends and family, people are going to need a full stomach.” She kissed Juliette again, giving her a squeeze. “And I’m sure you could use a little home cooked goodness?”

Juliette’s smile regained some of its lost strength--not all, but enough--and she nodded as she pulled mostly away, one arm kept hooked around her Momma as she turned towards the counters and the waiting ingredients they’d left out. “Biscuits and Gravy? She asked, turning back to Flora, “Or fried chicken first?”

“Fried chicken first, it takes longer. However, if you want to brown up the sausage for the gravy, that will save us some time.” Flora gave her another kiss and waited until Juliette breaks contact first. She made her way over to the fridge and grabbed the chicken out and started to wash it. Making sure to pat it dry, it was certainly going to take some time to fry all this chicken up. “This kitchen is spotless, does she even cook in here? Does she have a deep skillet to fry this up in?” It wouldn’t have the years of seasoning her own pot did but it would have to do.

“Mmhmm.” Juliette answered both questions with one hum, briefly leaving the sausages alone as she retrieved the requested skillet from where she’d found it the first time Quinn had given her the tour. “She says she more a baker, then a cook.” Juliette added, giving the pan to Flora before returning to her own task of slicing the sausage casings open to crumble the seasoned meat inside into a large bowl before transferring the contents to a preheated skillet or her own. “We were going to trade cookies before-” Juliette’s hand stopped stirring the meat for a moment, then shook her head and continued where she left off. “Before the accident.”

Flora took hold of the skillet, it was deep enough and placed it on the stove. “I see,” Not everyone cooked, baking was just as important. “The chicken will need to sit in the fridge once it’s seasoned, then we can start to dredge and frying it.” Once the chicken was washed and dried, she started to mix up all the seasonings in her Marmee’s recipe. “Hey, you will still trade cookies, it’s just going to take a little longer.” Walked over to peek into the skillet, “add a bit of salt and pepper, Sunflower.”

“I know.” Juliette said, a hint of exasperation in her voice as she reached for both. “I remember.” She pinched in a dash or three of both before stirring them into the meat, then left the trio to simmer as she fetched some flower and a sifter, both placed to the side for their time. “You talk to Daniel or Avery yet?”

“Shoot, I forgot, need to start the pecan pie first. That’s going to need to sit for a few hours to cool down.” Once Flora finished seasoning the chicken, she placed them on a tray and slid them into the fridge. “And I have not, I sent them both a message and let them know what was happening.” She grabbed a bunch of things and move to a different counter, “Maybe one day they’ll remember they have a momma.”

“They remember.” Juliette said, rock hard certainty in her voice, “They’re just busy. They’ve got jobs and such, they aren’t on summer break like me.” Juliette finished her speech by measuring out some flower into the sifter and slowly adding it to the sausage. “But we could always drop by Avery’s with some food. It’s not like we won’t have some to spare.” A mischievous smile curled her lips as she stirred the flower in. “And we can send pictures of what he’s missing out on to Daniel.”

They kept their distance and she didn’t blame them, so, she just smiled and nodded her head. “You’re right, they are very busy. It means I raised them right,” Flora focused on making the pie, deciding not to dwell on negative thoughts. “What else did we want to make tonight, Mac and Cheese?” She grabbed the flour, salt, and vegetable oil and added the butter. When the dough looked like tiny pebbles she added an egg, water, and white vinegar.

“Oooh, Mac and Cheese.” Juliette said, a hungry reverence in her voice. Next to her Mawmaw’s cobbler, and her Momma’s fried chicken, her Momma’s Mac and Cheese was one of her all time favourites and had helped her through more bad days than she could count. This was definitely a Mac and Cheese type day. “I’ll get the butter and milk out.” She moved the sausage off the heat--it would need some milk as well to finish its journey into becoming gravy--and made her way to the fridge. She grabbed the cheese as well while she was in there and, after a bot of looking through, the sour-cream as well.

“Pot, pot, where are the pots.” She sung to herself as she looked around the kitchen, letting out a triumphant, “Aha!” when she remembered. Emptying her arms of ingredients by placing the lot on the counter in a haphazard pile, Juliette fetched two pots--one for the pasta and another for the sauce--and then detoured to dig through a few drawers until she found Quinn’s gratter. Beaming at Flora, Juliette dropped off all but one pot next to everything else, then headed over to the sink to fill the pot she kept with water.

Flora knew that Juliette would get all the ingredients out, preparing what needed preparing as she focused on the pie. The dough was ready and she separated it into two halfs, she would make two pies- sure that it would be a favorite. She stored the dough in the fridge for now and started on the filling, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, vanilla and eggs. And mixed it all together until it was well combined. “Mmm, I love the smell of vanilla and brown sugar.” When that was mixed well, she grabbed out the dough and started rolling them out. “Why don’t you grab the other ball and roll with me, you need the practice.” She winked.

The water was just coming to a boil when Flora called her over and Juliette had managed to get the sauce ready in the interim with an extra bowl filled almost to overflowing with grated cheese to sprinkle on top before the mac and cheese got tucked into the oven to bake. Juliette turned a wounded expression on her mother as she dumped the pasta into the water, then made her way over to Flora’s side. “Mawmaw loves my crusts.” She protested.

Giving her hands a quick wipe with the wet cloth she’d taken with her before dusting her hands in flour to keep the ball of dough from sticking to her palm as she dusted the countertop with more flour. “How big do we need it?” Juliette dropped the dough onto the counter centering it on her workspace before looking around for, and grabbing, a spare rolling pin.

“Does she?” Flora smirked and leaned over to press a kiss to Juliette’s temple. “And I guess that depends on how big her pie pans are, if she has pie pans.” Flora did not think this through but she would make due. She cleaned her hands off and searched around, finding two pie pans tucked away. “And these looked used, looks like she does bake a little bit.” She gave them, a quick wash to be sure and dried them off. “Roll the crusts to fit just so over the pan, you know the drill.” Flora did the same as Juliette and cleaned the surface she needed, sprinkling some flour on the counter and dusting her own hands with it. “I’ve missed cooking with you, Julie, it’s nice to have this again.”

Juliette swallowed the pecan she’d ‘borrowed for taste testing purposes’ while Flora was looking for, and prepping, the pans, hiding the act behind a smile as she set to rolling out her dough. “Me too.” She replied. “Don’t get me wrong, I love my classes and all, and I really like New York, but even if I had a stove in my dorm, or a kitchen like this one, I’d still miss cooking with you.”

This time, Juliette was blatant about snatching another Pecan after re-dusting her rolling pin, an unapologetically guilty grin on her face as she looked over at Flora. “And not just ‘cause I miss your cooking, either.”

Flora always made sure to have extra pecans in the bowl, for testing purposes. She reached over and grabbed one herself and gave Juliette a wink. “So, pecan pie and what did we want this second one to be?” Flora finished rolling out the crust, dusting the bottom of the pie pan before draping the dough over it. She offered Juliette one more pecan before pouring the pecans into the crust and the sweet sticky mixture over the top. She covered it with tinfoil and popped it into the preheated oven. “Thirty minutes with foil, twenty without- depending on the power of this stove it might only need ten.”

Juliette shook her head in mock disappointment over her mother’s question. “As if there’s any other choice; lemon meringue, Momma.” She continued to shake her head at her mother’s ‘antics’ as she set about fitting her own crust into her pan, lightly dusting the cookware as Flora had her own. “We can save the cobbler for tomorrow, and maybe a cherry pie too.”

Juliette’s head snapped upright as she sucked in a sharp breath. “Ooh!” She exclaimed excitedly, “Strawberry.” She nodded her head. “Definitely strawberry pie, and a big old bowl of whipped cream to go with it.” A soft, “Mmmm” purred in Juliette’s throat as she licked her lips, almost tasting tomorrow’s dessert as the continued to work on today’s. “And some ribs, sweet and smokey ribs, slow cooked with a big bowl of fresh slaw with dill and some rosemary buttermilk biscuits and-”

She slowly turned towards her mother, a bashful expression mostly replacing the hungry one on her face. “And let’s get these pies done first, get these people fed.”

Flora tapped Juliette’s nose and smiled, “How silly of me, of course, let me get that ready.” She grabbed more eggs and started to separate the whites from the yolks. She beat the yolks until they were slightly thick. Grabbing a sauce pan, she added sugar, salt, and cornstarch and started the burner. “Sunflower, can you measure out the milk for me.” She stayed with the pan to keep it from burning. When Juliette brought her the milk she started to add it slowly, whisking it. When the mixture started to boil she let it go for about a minute and kept whisking. Taking some of the mixture, she added it to the bowl of yolks and once it was well incorporated she put it back into the saucepan. “Do you want to start on the meringue for me?”

Happy to help, Juliette flashed her Momma a smile and gave a nod before hurrying off to do as Flora sked. Leaning forward, she watched Flora whisk the ingredients together, equal parts eager to see the pie finished and enjoying the chance to watch her mother at work.

“Hmm?” She hummed as she looked up from the pan. “Oh, right. Yes Ma’am.” Juliette gave another smile before slipping around to Flora’s other side and set about mixing up the meringue, glancing over at Flora and the pan every once and awhile.

“Cover your ears.” She warned as she picked up the mixer, a callback to her younger days whenever the mixer was called into action when she’d help her Momma in the kitchen and she’d cover her own ears to block out the high-pitched whir.

When Juliette told her to cover her ears, she smiled wide and gave her a wink. Keeping her eyes on the pan and cooking the mix for another few minutes. When it was ready she removed it from the heat and added lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter. While she waited for the meringue to be finished, she set the pie crust to bake. “Now we wait for the pie crust to bake and then we can go from there.”

The timer went off for the pecan pie, so, Flora went over and took the foil off. Adding ten minutes to the timer, she would check it again and see if it needed more time.

The ladies spent the rest of the day cooking up a meal. There was enough food for themselves and for at least twenty people, “I think we did good, Suge.” Flora wrapped her arms around Juliette and leaned in to give her two quick kisses in succession.

Juliette wrapped her arms around her mother’s waist, her head resting on the elder fabray’s shoulder as Jules surveyed the results of their first day of cooking--her watering mouth told here there would be a second. Letting out a contented sigh, she tightened her hug, her head rocking against Flora’s shoulder as Juliette nodded in agreement. “Yes we did.”

With a last squeeze of her arms, Juliette pulled away. “Dibs on the chicken.”

10 favourite pairings tag

A.k.a “What the hell?! I have to choose?!”

@pynki tagged me to do this thing. Goodness golly. °^°

Uuuuh... So I guess I’ll REALLY have to choose, huh. Man. I’m glad it’s just a list and not a top ten otherwise I’d be here all night pondering and never getting it done. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

... Oh that’s awkward because honestly I don’t ship much outside canon ships. I just enjoy the characters for who they are, instead of in a relationship, and I don’t like to stray away from it, and - OKAY OKAY I’M GETTING TO IT GEEZ

I’m going to try and go for variety and different fandoms if that doesn’t bother you. Keyword: try.

Sylvia x Commander Peepers / Black Eye / Jellyfish Pi (Wander Over Yonder, noncanon) Okay so I have many feelings about Peepers and the main feeling I have about him is LOVE alright, I don’t care if he’s trying to conquer the galaxy and if he’s evil I just want my little eyeball man to be happy and fulfilled and his dynamic with Sylvia in Season 2 was just so damn EPIC, they have such a great potential and I’ll stop now or else I’ll never shut up

“Dipper” Pines x Wendy Corduroy (Gravity Falls, noncanon) Yes, I know they’re both underage for now. Give it a few years. Once Dipper is 18-21 and Wendy is 20-23, everything will be beautiful and amazing and I really adore this ship okay I’ve sailed it from S01E05 to Weirdmageddon and YOU CAN’T CHANGE MY MIND OKAY

Nathanael Kurtzberg x Marinette Dupain-Cheng (Miraculous Ladybug, noncanon) YES I KNOW IT’LL NEVER HAPPEN BUT SHUT IT I LOVE MY SOFT LIL ARTIST BOI AND I WISH HIM NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS LET ME DREAM A LITTLE

Maes Hughes x Gracia Hughes (Fullmetal Alchemist, canon) Maes is such a precious studmuffin and I love him so much and his entire marriage is so wholesome I love to watch him gush over his wife and daughter and he’s a bean I just love him sO MUCH *ugly sobbing*

Sweetie Belle x Button Mash (MLP:FiM, noncanon) Because. It’s cute adorable puppy love. Also gaming.

Derpy Hooves x Doctor Whooves (MLP:FiM, noncanon) BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING MORE PRECIOUS THAN THESE TWO ADORABLE EQUINES OKAY

Sayaka Miki x Kyoko Sakura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, canon-ish?) SAYAKA DESERVES TO BE HAPPY AND PROTECTED AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH YOU GUYS

Ruby x Sapphire / Garnet (Steven Universe, canon) You can’t not ship them. Really. You just can’t. Impossible. They just fit so perfectly together. You could say they’re two halves of a whole, eh? *nudge nudge*

Ronald Weasley x Harry Potter / Harron (Harry Potter series, noncanon) “The one he’d miss the most”. That says it all, really. How can you ship Drarry after this one? Explain. No actually let me explain because you’re obviously wrong -

Ronald Weasley x Hermione Granger / Romione / The Good Ship (Harry Potter series, canon) The original ship. The ship of dreams. The one I’ve boarded since the first book. Even if my opinion of Hermione took a nosedive over the years I’ll still defend this ship tooth and nails, and you know why? Because even though I could care less about Hermione, Ron Weasley deserves the world and he deserves to be loved by the woman he loves, so screw everything else: I will go down with this ship. Try and stop me.

THAT WAS EXHAUSTING I WAS TEMPTED TO PUT ALL MY RONSHIPS OVER HERE BUT I DECIDED IT COULDN’T BECAUSE W O W GUYS ALL MY RONSHIPS ARE Y’ALL CRAZY WE’D NEVER GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST

So here you go. I don’t even ship that much to be honest. Had this been a list of my favourite characters you couldn’t have shut me up and I’d have written a sixteen-feet long essay about each of them and why I love and protect them. But shipping? I tend to stick to canon pairings for the most part. Of course when it comes to Ron Weasley all bets are off.

I tag... I tag... Um, whoever wants to do this? Don’t hesitate to steal this and put all your shippy goodness if you want to. :’)

#shipping #wander over yonder #woy #gravity falls #maes hughes #hp books #romione #steven universe #pmmm #sayaka x kyoko #my little pony #personal

The relationships between the cast

Post S1 analysis

Yeah, it’s long again. Under the cut you go!

Wander & Sylvia

(a.k.a. these to make me emotional)

Man, these two…

Wander and Sylvia's friendship was, is, and will be a heart of the show. They compliment each other, they need each other, they make a great pair.

This season we've learned how did they meet – Sylvia used to be a bounty hunter and a furry orange weirdo was her latest mark. Who put a bounty on his head? Why? And how was he named on the wanted poster anyway? Yeah, the biggest S2 plot twist was revelation that Sylvia was the one who gave Wander his name. That's sweet, unexpected, and absolutely fits them.

Their friendship is so strong it didn't actually take any big hits? Wander messes up things and Sylvia's upset, sure, but reassures him that understanding that is a first step to make things right. Wander splits up into hundreds of personalities and Sylvia makes sure that every single one goes back to the original Spoon. Even in case of the erased duo from "The Waste of Time" after spending 50 years stuck in one place they just reaffirm their friendship by hugging each other and exchanging goobyes while disappearing. In "The Matchmaker" Wander pretty much says that their friendship is the biggest treasure they have and they both know it.

There is a case of Wander's immortality. Or longevity, who knows. Not only Sylvia will die beofre him, but it's also implied he had friends, travel partners like her before. And probably will continue to to have those in future. But there's also a fact that writers decided to show us this period in his life and, well, not to undermine the other travel buddies, but Sylvia must be really, really special for Wander compared to others.

Apart from maybe learning more about their past together I imagine they'd continue a trend of being the best friends this galaxy has ever seen. And that's all I could ask for, really.

Wander & Hater

(a.k.a. “Reforming a villain” w.i.p.)

The season starts with a reveal that Hater fell down from his position as 'the greatest in the galaxy', mainly thanks to Wander; our resident villain has problems with ignoring furry weirdo who constantly plays on his nerves and is distracted enough to forget his evil overlord duties. Even Dominator seems not be enough when you can marry destroy your happy-go-lucky nemesis or play a game of tag.

In "The Fremergency Fronfract" Hater gets zapped and doesn't really remember who he is and with Wander spends the whole day playing, having fun, and, later, at loopy!Hater's request, performing good deeds. And Wander doesn't want to let go of his new friend! He considers zapping him again and again, just so they could stay like that! That's… messed up and Spoon acknowledges that, letting Hater go. Though not without shedding some tears here and there. It was pretty important episode for both of them, though mostly to Wander; I bet Hater put an entire blame on the dentists regarding his behaviour. The ring left behind serves as a nice metaphor; Wander didn't get what he truly wanted (Hater's friendship) and was left with a cheap prize, which also serves as a symbol of hope that things will eventually get better.

Hater is actively afraid of Wander, because he thinks the furry weirdo may succeed. And, since he thinks of himself as an evil being, he sees is it as brainwashing. Which is not the case, although when you remind yourself of what Wander almost did in "The Fremergancy Fronfract" this line of thinking is not without its reasons.

Wander continues his quest on getting Hater reformed – this time he decided use power of luuuuuv. He does succeed, partially. Skeleton man does fall for Dom, reveals his softer side, is willing to admit somebody else is better than him and learns some empathy. Hater's on his way to be a good guy thanks to Wander.

In the middle of the crush mess they find a common ground. And, well, while they did work on wrong assumptions it was a common ground nonetheless. In "My Fair Hatey" Hater asked Wander specifically for help. …Mostly because he was the only one who cheered him on, but it was a big moment for them.

Of course I have to mention "The Hole…Lotta Nuthin'" too. Hater is mean, obnoxious and downright cruel to Wander (though he does stop himself before making him cry). Hater loves to be mean, to bully others and he finally got his chance to do it with Wander, of course he wasn't going to pass that opportunity. One of the reasons why he claims to hate our hero is that Wander easily presses on all his buttons, and there's not much that phases him.

Near the end Hater doesn't seem to hate Wander that much, but is still unwilling to be a good guy. He'll get there. Sometime in a future. And they will become friends.

He did save his life after all.

Hater & Sylvia

(a.k.a. I’m pretty sure this ^ ^ is the only scene they were alone on the screen in S2, give me more)

Sadly not much to talk about here. Hater and Sylvia barely interacted and the only one-on-one I can recall was in the finale, when our favorite zbornak started screaming: "Hate's Great, Best Villain" to help him fight Dom back and save the last planet in the galaxy. It was still pretty important moment; at this point Sylvia treated Hater as an ally, as a friend in who she recognized the need to be validated. And, well, he did save her life when stopping the drill before it could destroy the planet, so there's that.

Aside from that there was always Peepers and/or Wander nearby. Let's hope they'll get some more scenes together alone in the future.

Peepers & Hater

(a.k.a. we’re each others’ means to an end but also kind of friends)

Ah,these two. These two came a loooooong way since S1.

They took me by surprise. I honestly expected them to split up, to Peepers start working for Dominator, to them becoming enemies with each other. And, well, I wasn't that far from the truth, it seems. But what happened is that they repaired their relationship to the point of becoming friends. Sort of.

And all that thanks to Wander.

After falling down from the #1 spot on the leaderboard Peepers is exasperated with Hater and tries to get him back on the top. He's not afraid to speak up anymore, he's sassy, he's complaining. Which leads him to being fired.

Commander acknowledged that he wasn't able to conquer the galaxy on his own a long time ago, and settled down with helping Hater to acieve this goal. Hater in turn needed to learn he was not going to be an evil overlord for too long without watchdog's help. "The Axe" also showed us, through Peepers' flashbacks, that they did have fun together in the past, though it clearly meant much more to Commander than the Lord. In the end everything works out when Hater gets Peepers to come back to him and the little Commander even gets a statue of himself. Which was completely unprompted action on skeleton man's part; he already got his Commander back.

Also they seem to have a bone pool on the skullship what the flarp.

In "The It" Hater proves he's very much incompetent leader when Wander's involved and Peepers learns there will be more times he'll have to put his boss aside more when it comes to conquering, letting him only focus on intimidation part. And that's only sometimes.

Since presenting plans his way is boring to Hater, they… start to play with figurines. But they get to spend more time together! Having fun! It's all fine and dandy until Awesome shows up. What's interesting that through the entire "The Cool Guy" Hater tries to get Peepers to have fun with him and Emperor Awesome, only to constantly be dissuaded by shark man himself. But he doesn't stop and at the end wants them both watch the invasion together prepared by Commander. And he believes it's going to work, it's Peepers who planned after all, with figurines and all! Peepers gets more and more worried and angry during the episode, until the invasion time comes and he's willing to lead it by himself, out loud acknowledging and mocking Hater's true dreams. So it's interesting to watch that while Hater was the mean guy on surface, with escaping with Awesome and whatnot, it's Peepers who's ready to commit a treason. Still, we get to see Hater caring about his Commander and everyone's happy. Maybe besides Awesome, who still have to pick up all his fishbones after the beating Hater gave him.

While in "The Rager" Hater's shown to be listening to Peepers with only mild complaining, we get a really shocking image of skeleton man hitting his Commander in "The Good Bad Guy". It's weird, since it wasn't that surprising to see such scene in S1, but at this point? Hater, no, what are you doing, you're being… friend-ish with each other, don't.

The Hater's crush arc begins and Peepers is done. He worked hard to get Hater working with him despite constant distractions, and even got him on second place on the leaderboard, but this is too much. He becomes more and more exasperated, finally snapping and fighting his boss back for the Hat in "The Bad Hatter". Everything gets back to normal afterwards, but that was yet another moment that perhaps was foreshadowing for Peepers' future betrayal?

Still, as the season went, it really showed both of them went a long way and their relationship evolved for better despite the setbacks. And partly thanks to them.

…Although I am pretty sure there is supposed to be a treason/betrayal arc for Peepers in S3. But Hater could be the one to get him out of it, given their relationship.

Peepers & Sylvia

(a.k.a. welcome to frenemies paradise)

I mentioned already that while this relationship is important to both of them, it's more important to Peeeprs than Sylvia. For zbornak Commander is a bad guy with who, to her surprise, she found a common ground with. She's willing to work with him (not without complaining, of course,) especially when it comes to bringing down Dominator.

Peepers meanwhile doesn't really have anyone he could see on the same level (metaphorically, of course; I'm not sure Commander could find anyone who'd be able to look straight into his eye without bending, hehe). Hater, while on friendly-ish terms with him, is still his boss. He doesn't care about other villains personally, they're just obstacles on his way to becoming #1 once again. He doesn't want to associate himseld with other watcdogs aside from them being soldiers in his army. He wishes he and Hater could go on by ignoring Wander.

And then there's Sylvia, who's similiar to him, a person who can empathize with him.

Through "The Show Stopper" they work together, trying to dissuade Hater's crush on Dom, and even succeed. Not without bickering and showing a slight disgust with each other, but they are on their way on becoming frenemies.

In "My Fair Hatey" Peepers gets Sylvia's help and they both are working together on beating Dominator while 'their idiots' are busy wooing her. They show they can work great together, and have at that!

Also they sing together and it's great.

In "The End of the Galaxy" near the end Peepers and watchdogs save Sylvia's life and my skin is clear.

These two are very interesting cause back in S1 they barely interacted with each other. Then S2 happened and look at them, fighting together back to back, taking matters in their hands, singing duets. Being frenemies.

Also if there were any plans on making canon pairings in a future? These two have the biggest shot.

Peepers & Wander

(a.k.a. still main conflict of the show, but even fewer interactions)

I wish I had something more to say, but.

I talked in post S1 analysis why I think they don't interact much. Peepers would gladly ignore Wander while Wander kind of underestimates Peepers. And yet they still represent the main conflict of the show: getting Hater on a good/bad side.

But. They had few small interactions. Commander was willing to use wandering weirdo to stop Hater's long performance, sadly it backfired.

And there was this conversation in "The Robomechabotatron". And it was great! I loved how they adressed their conflict under the guise of titular robot. Though Hater's reaction made it less subtle than they meant it to be.

I'm hoping for more interactions in future though. They are bound to be interesting, especially if my theory about C-Peeps trying to be villain on his own would become true.

Main Four

(a.k.a. teamwork is important but one of them can’t do teamwork stuff)

These guys were shown more and more together, mostly in four main episodes and "The Robomechabotatron".

At the beginning they were only running into each other and then escaped Dom's ship together. Then they were fighting each other, but circumstances made Peepers and Sylvia team up to save Wander and Hater on multiple occasions ("The Battle Royale", "The Show Stopper", "My Fair Hatey") while 'their idiots' were busy fooling around to get Dom's attention. They escaped Dominator's ship yet again, everyone had their part in the plan. In the last episode the three of them worked together on the planet, while Wander was up in Dom's ship, also playing his part.

And then there's "The Robomechabotatron". Wander wants them to all work together. Everyone else refuses. Peepers and Hater are later willing to team up after learning they need four pilots. Sylvia refuses. The three of them fight, but Wander's here to save the day and makes them reconsider their actions.

They team up, get into the robot, ready to fight Dom and- Actually no, because Wander ruins everything. Ah, the irony. And he doesn't even acknowledge it.

On the surface "The Robomechabotatron" is a story about main four not being good enough to work together yet and they are set up for teamwork for future. And it is partially that. But the bigger problem here?

Wander is bad at teamwork.

Yeah, the guy who wants everyone to work together, who wants everyone to get along, who loves working with others… As long as he's in charge and no one tells him what to do. Remember, there is a mischevious/contrary Wander after all. He has his own ideas and ethics and it's fine, but maybe he should have let them know about his priorites before starting anything. Everyone else were ready to fight Dom, but Wander ruined everything.

And I'm really, really curious how they'd go with that in S3.

Dominator & Hater

(a.k.a. a crush that unsurprisingly went nowhere)

I remember how at the beginning of "The Search for Captain Tim" Hater entered his room wailing how much he hates that Dominator guy, because he's so cool. Then he cried how much he likes her because she's so cool. Then he was complaining about lack of taquitos, because wow, yeah, totally over Dom, not that he's distracting himself or anything. And I guess he actually likes taquitos.

And that's pretty much Hater's side of things. At the beginning he hated the guy, but also admired him in a way, about cool he was and was jelaous about that. Plus he did steal his image, so there was also a thing to be mad about.

But near the end of "The Battle Royale" Dominator lost her helmet and he – figuratively and literally – fell for her. Hard. And then tried to impress her and ask her out. Again, again, and again, failing each time.

It culminated in "My Fair Hatey", where Hater did the whole musical gig for her, which backfired completely and both he and Wander were almost destroyed by his lady love. Thanks to that experience he was afraid of her and felt humiliated enough to not actually fight back until the season finale, but he also gained some character development.

On Dom's side? She didn't care about the guy. Upon seeing he was sweet on her she used that against him twice, but otherwise didn't give him much thought. He was just another villain who yet had to bow down before her like everyone else. Though breaking his heart was a nice bonus, I suppose.

In the end she underestimated him, though she did fight back with words, taking jabs at his insecurities. Power of love and friendship saved the day, Dom lost and… Was ultimately saved wy Wander and Hater.

Dominator & Wander

(a.k.a. the same yet so different)

They're crazy. They're energetic. They love what they're doing. They wear sneakers. They… didn't really interact until finale.

Yeah, really. In "The Greater Hater" while Wander tried to engage newcomer into conversation, Dom didn't react, which made our furry hero mad. In "The Battle Royale" Wander got a glimpse at dancing Dominator without her armor and tried to set her up with Hater. Again, he was talking to her, while she ignored him. In "My Fair Hatey" he didn't say a word to her, leaving singing to Hater. It's Dom who spoke to him, to make fun of him and inform him about his inevitable demise.

Well, there was a small moment in "The Flower", where she tormented both him and Syl and he wished her gesundheit twice, but I'm not sure if it counts in grand scheme of things.

In "The End of the Galaxy" Wander finally confronts Dom. "Hey, you're not letting your bots destroy me!" "Yeah, because I want to destroy you." "Why are you like this?" "Yeah, I know I'm great."

Through the series Wander believes that love will save Dom just like it's going to save Hater. Problem is, Dominator loves what she's doing. She's not a pragmatic villain. She just destroys everything for fun. She makes everyone miserable for fun. How do you fight love with love?

After revealing the last planet's existence Dom torments Wander even more, almost destroying Sylvia and the whole planet, if it wasn't for Hater's intervention. Skeleton man fights her back and once and for all destroys her whole ship using her drill, which trapped her inside, causing her to have breakdown.

And then Wander finally gets the problem: Dom's lonely. She's stuck, tries to answer, then doesn't want to listen to him yet does it anyway, which only amplifies her breakdown. Wander (along with Hater) saves her life and she can not comprehend that. "Didn't I try to destroy you?" "You sure did! But we can begin anew!" Of course she refuses, it's way too early to talk about redemption of any kind for her.

It's curious how much alike they are, yet how much their worldviews seperate them. They are each others' foils, the light and dark reflections in a mirror. One wants to help everyone and be kind, while other thrives on pain and suffering. Dominator wanted to make him helpless, but in the end it was Dominator who was proved wrong. And she swore revenge if only for that. I guess that in the future she'll be set on making him suffer by proving him wrong, make him question his moralities and actions. Well, she and new villains that is.

Peepers & Dominator

(a.k.a. let them interact for flarp’s sake)

Boy, do I wish these two interacted more. Aren't they like the two most evil people on the show?

From Peepers' side he wishes Dom would never appear in his galaxy, she only caused trouble. First by being #1 on the leaderboard, destroying every planet in sight, and then he had to deal with Hater's crush on her. He treated it rather personally, and tried to defeat her by using frostonium on her ship, which, sadly, backfired.

Dominator in turn was definitely unnerved by his actions in the season premiere and musical, but ultimately? She probably didn't remember his name. Maybe just associated him with the rest of the idiots at best.

*bangs fists on the table* Give! Me! Peepers! And! Dominator! Interacting! In! Season! Three!

Dominator & Sylvia

(a.k.a. I hanged out with WHO?!)

These two definitely had fun in "The Night Out". Sylvia couldn't recognize Dom, she didn't really got to meet her, only saw without armor her from far, far away back in "The Battle Royale" and the villainess decided to use it. And… they had fun. They had actual fun together.

Dom didn't even had to pretend that much, she was only not destroying everything entirely, but still got to trash the whole bar. Meanwhile Sylvia was glad she got a moment free from good-doing. And tried to impress 'D' by being a bad girl for a night.

Of course everything came to a screeching halt when Dom's tendencies came out and Sylvia put her foot down. Dominator left still not understaning what friendship is all about and Syl had to deal with knowledge she spend the whole night with the omnicidal maniac.

What's interesting about it is that both of them had fun, Sylvia called 'D' her friend, and Dom did propose Syl an alliance where they would rule together. …Well, kind of, I imagine when it comes to Dominator's understanding of partnership she'd expect the other to listen to her all the time. But, hey, it was something.

Although Dom definitely tried to forget about the whole thing, if her words in "The Flower" are any indication. Still, I imagine that in the future the matter of them bonding would be adressed.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 11#6

"Oh, I don't have the willpower for this." ~ Willow Rosenberg.

I love "Back to the Wall"! Although nothing particularly shocking happens in this issue, it captures the style of classic Buffy episodes perfectly. Action, dialog, characterization - this is 100% pure Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I recommend it!

The issue opens with another one of those disgustingly sweet scenes with Buffy and Spike being all coupley and in love and I have no idea what Spike's referencing either, yes, laugh at me, I'm a cultural plebeian. After the seemingly obligatory kissage Buffy meets Willow who still has doubts concerning the draining of the Wiccans. Buffy reassures her that she's doing the right thing and goes out to patrol the camp. This is where ogre and his gang ambush her. I love this fight scene - it's dirty, it's brutal, the "Helpless" reference is awesome, Buffy looks ridiculously hot and ogre's gang, half of which Buffy ultimately slaughters, is interesting visually, look at that octopus...land octopus...no, that doesn’t sound right, a tentacle demon, just like in my Japanese hentais, perhaps? You know what, land octopus demon it is. And peeper was cool too! Anyway, I like that Ogre's plan is sound ( poison and ambush ) and that Buffy doesn't just decimate the attackers effortlessly. She, of course, wins and survives but still gets some serious shit kicked out of her! In the end slayer defeats the ogre and makes him spill the beans. We learn that the ogre works for the guards. Buffy promises to keep quiet about it if he stops cooperating with them and tells Buffy everything he knows about the project the crews work on. Ogre doesn't know much, apart from the fact that it's about combining science and magic. You know what I want to know? Whose idea was it to try to kill Buffy? Ogre's or the guards?

Meanwhile, Willow, dressed in an absolutely gorgeous black dress, is draining magic out of the Wiccans so they can go home. This scene provides the context to Willow's doubts expressed earlier. "Goddess, did you see them? Their eyes...like something's been snuffed out", mentions Calliope. You want my take on this? I understand Willow's doubts. The magic is a natural part of a person and taking it like that? Kinda barbaric. However, it was the Wiccans’ decision and when you consider that some of them have kids and families outside of the camp, it becomes quite understandable. Not everybody needs to be a martyr for the faith, right? I think I'm with Buffy on this, it is right-ish. Not every Wiccan decides to go through with the process though, Calliope being one of them. I don't think I could bear that. But I also couldn't survive in here if it wasn't for you. Willow..., she says and kisses our witch. Willow, as you would expect, kisses her back, H.G.O.G.A. ensues and...no, that's not what happens. Willow actually stops her. Calliope assumes that Willow's just tired after draining all that magic but Willow's quick to babble out an explanation - It's not that. You have a girlfriend...whose name escapes me at the moment...and I really like you, and draining their magic doesn't make me weaker, it makes me more energized, and I have to control myself and--look, maybe you should just go, okay? Obviously, I'd prefer kisses and gay love but this outcome is fine too as, in my opinion, it displays growth. Also, the part about energizing is interesting, I guess the witches that wanted to drain Willow's power in season six weren't exactly doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, huh? Anyway, Calliope takes the hint and goes away, but a minute later somebody knocks on the trailer door. It's just Buffy, however. A limping, bleeding, beaten, still poisoned, using-the-scythe-as-a-cane, positively trashed Buffy. Willow patches her up and uses the extra magic to heal her wounds. I love that scene! Willow's usually the character that tends to Buffy's wounds and this is one of those nurse Willow scenes. Also, remember the opening scene from "Killed By Death" ( who came up with this title, seriously, I know that it makes sense in context, but come on, killed by death? ) where Buffy's patrolling when she really shouldn't and Willow's kinda miffed about Buffy's insistence that she's OK when she's barely standing? This scene is quite similar - you are not fine. sit. rest. Let nurse Rosenberg take care of you. It's funny and cute, possibly subtext-y if you're into that sort of thing. Buffy tells Willow about the science/magic project and they decide to learn more. Problem is, even though Buffy can access the work areas outside of the camp and spy to her hearts content, she can't figure out what's being done because she's a magically-illiterate dumbass. I told you Buffy, learn magic, just the essentials, for goodness' sake, learn how to float a stupid pencil at least! Willow could figure it out but since she can't leave the zone the gang needs to get creative.

Time for a plan! Here's the sitch. The force field blocks any magic from getting through. Even teleportation energy. A separate spell blocks any dimensional doorways or gateways being opened in here, explains Willow. However, as Buffy points out, the field is being opened to let the workers, and Buffy, through the gate. Problem is, there are sensors near the gate that detect any magic passing through. So Scoobies play it smart! Next morning, Spike walks Buffy to her work. Yes, during the day but in protective clothing . Buffy and Spike pretend to have an argument, yes, pretend, how will the haters even recover, in order to, using, dare I say, her own prejudice, fool Jordan. When they arrive at the gate, Spike grabs one of the worker demons from Ogre's group and, feigning vengeful anger, hurls him at the detector, destroying the device. Smart! Thus Willow, using invisibility spell, can pass through the gate undetected. Willow stays close to Buffy so the scythe's power masks her spell from any additional magic checks and following Buffy, enters the work areas. Very smart! The plan works and I love it! Scoobies are so competent in this issue and of course they are, they've been doing this for ten seasons!

Later on Willow reveals what she figured out. The government is building a large machine to drain magic and then store it, like Willow did in this issue, just on a massive scale. Slayers and witches, as Willow explains, will only lose their powers but the inherently magical beings will get crippled or, like the undead, outright die because their magic is what keeps them alive. Basically, this is a genocide in the making and Hulk-Buff plans to stop it, preferably immediately! Wreck it, destroy everything they've made, whenever it's actually located, they'll just rebuild it, points out Spike, expose the government's plans to the world, they'd deny it. And I hate to break it to you, Slayer, but a fair chunk 'o the world might think it's a brilliant idea, he says. That's bleak but true and honestly, I don't know what I'd do in Buffy's place, I mean, aside from washing my hands and relocating like Andrew. Neither does Buffy at the moment, but first, she needs to break out of the safe zone. One question remains. What does the government plan to do with all that magical power? Well, If I'd have to guess, I'd say that they want to build themselves a machine god, a hybrid of magic and technology, think Adam 2.0. What could possibly go wrong?

Yes, this is another fantastic issue! It's well written, it looks incredible and it absolutely feels like Buffy! Anyway, we're halfway through the season and so far, every single issue has been pretty much amazing! Read it people!

3 In, 3 Out – The 3 Seahawks to Watch in 2017

by fellow 12 Clinton Bonner

Ohhhhhhh my, we’re getting dangeRussly close ladies and gentlemen of the Flock. It all begins in the valley of the cheeeeese in just a few short days from now. And yes, I am fired up beyond belief to inform you all that 3 In, 3 Out will be back for our 3rd installment, our 3rd season, our 3rd go-round if you will, and we’re planning on making it count! Check in each week to your favorite Seahawks podcast – the Sea Hawkers Podcast of course! – as we’ll be posting weekly, unique recap blogs exclusively written for the pod!

REMINDER – each week, during the game, tweet @SeaHawkersPod or/and me @ClintonBon, use the hashtag #3i3o and we’ll make sure your contribution gets at least an honorable mention in the recap blog post! Also this year, we’ll certainly be opening up the 3I,3O goodness to the Sea Hawkers Pod Ring of Honor on Facebook. This group is a TON of fun, fully suggest YOU get in the flock.

OK, enough with the housekeeping you say… and I agree, we gotta get going, we gotta get gone and into and around and through this post as only 12s can… So, this week’s post. It’s not a season preview. Hawkblogger already crushed that with this series here. This isn’t a pre-season recap… we’re healthy and we’re better than we were last year, there’s your recap!!! This is an aforementioned cranny. This is a buttery nook. These are the 3 Seahawks you really need to watch in 2017!!! Let’s go go go go go and dive right into the single most important Seahawk barometer of 2017.

The Rich Get Richer

And here you are thinking this is about Sheldon… I used that punny lead-in and this has to be about Sheldon right?… Wrong Flockers… this is about the other Rich… this is about the decadian buffalo, this is about our week 1 starter… this is about Mr. Paul Richardson.

On last year’s season preview pod, I had the honor of proclaiming to Brandan and Adam that my breakout player of 2016 was none other than Frank the Tank Clark. My spidey-sense was going off that he – Clark – could put together a really amazing sophomore year… My Mamma Cleo must’ve been on that day because ooooooof Clark was a FORCE in 2016.

This year… I’m getting the tinglies about P-Rich. Not only did I love the S-Rich trade for what it provided to our defense, I felt that clearing the swim lane for P-Rich to step in as a starter with the departure of Kearse would really improve the explosiveness of our offense too.

We all know the caveat. So knock on wood, do a rain dance, you do you. We know, P-Rich has to stay healthy.

If these key metrics for the season are achieved by P-Rich, we are going to the Super Bowl.

62 receptions, 6 TDs

Britt-ish Empire

*image credit PBS.com

I crafted but one article this entire off-season. I wanted to churn out more, but time, she is indeed a thief! I spent all my bullets on THE biggest mistake I felt we made during the offseason.

We failed to improve our O-Line enough, we took too many unneeded risks on reclamation projects like Joeckel, and we were living a FANT-asy thinking George could make a 2nd year leap to keep Russ upright in environments like Lambeau.

As crude as this sounds, I think we got better with the exit of Fant. I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery and a GREAT year 3, but for 2017, I think our line improved with his exit.

As we discussed at length in this article, as of August 7th, this team was NOT Super Bowl bound. Now, a few short weeks later, I’m starting to believe I was wrong.

The key, the keystone, the centerpiece… is Justin Britt. Not only did Britt ink a ‘good for both sides’ 3-year extension during the pre-season, he also looked pretty dang dominant! We haven’t had an extremely solid O-Lineman since the oft-injured Unger, and before that, well, Hutch and Jones were amazing of course.

With Britt as the anchor, this line has a legit shot to be decent! And if we’re just that decent, our Seahawks will be making the Super Bowl.

The key metric:

Britt is voted into the Pro Bowl (and is forced to skip it for better reasons)

Reed My Lips

The Forgotten Man. A campaign constant for President Trump. A really intriguing book by Amity Shlaes focused on the Great Depression, even a pretty decent rock tune, by legend Tom Petty.

Just last year, riiiiiight about this time, ‘Hawks fans were all abuzz about the prospects of one Jarran Reed. We traded up for him in the 2016 draft and grabbed what many touted as a whale of a 2nd round pick for our Seahawks.

The excitement around Reed didn’t sharply fizzle so much as slowly fade, and Jarran didn’t underperform so much as not grab headlines with his consistent play. Our Run D was OUTSTANDING in 2016 and very often it was due to players like Reed filling their role – and their gaps – professionally and allowing others like Wagner, Clark, Wright and more to make big plays. Reed was more than above average last season against the run and on a line with the likes of Avril, Bennett, Clark, and now Sheldon … so what if he records only a few sacks?

While Nazair Jones was one of the darlings of pre-season – and deservingly so – Reed enters year-2, nearly as a forgotten man.

There’s no metric here to follow, this one is all about your gut. Watch the trenches with intent. If Reed is being consistent up the gut, consistently clearing lanes for our LBs and DEs to make big plays, consistently non-flashy but darn effective … our Seahawks will be marching on to Minnesota come February.

What say you Flockers?

Love to hear your opinion and who you believe will be the gritty, unsung heroes of our 2017 season!!!

1,2,3 … What’s Next!???

Well this is it. A long, and actually quite eventful off-season is now behind us. Marshawn gone… behind us. Sherman on the block… behind us. New contracts for Bam Bam and Britt, an emotional goodbye to Chop Chop and a warm hello to our second Richardson… all behind us.

What’s next? The not so frozen tundra.

While the game may rest on Russell or Sherman or Bobby … or even Blair, don’t forget your nooks and crannies and keep your peepers peeled for P-Rich, Britt, and Reed to contribute in big, big ways on Sunday, and throughout this 2017 campaign!

Go ‘Hawks!!!
