„Dancing with you is like black heaven”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'll be honest. I like this ship and I will create many arts with them (I can't be lazy, please). I don't care if someone thinks they are sisters, the same person or that Allison can't be shipped with Alice or anyone because she's married to Tom or even that she killed her :)
I've read a lot of comments on pinterest and reddit, but most people on reddit don't agree with what I probably think, so I'd rather not argue with them when I see them because I know it would be pointless and just a waste of my time ^^
"Our face". Through these words, everyone can interpret their relationship differently. Other actresses, personalities, voices. Created from Joey's mind in completely different way, with differences.
Even if their cartoon character is an angel and they're adapted to her together, I don't consider them sisters or clones, just different people, enemies who could get along somehow instead of fighting.
Some people might see something wrong with shipping them, but I also have a lot of ships that don't suit a lot of people that I really love and they need more attention.
I really don't care because no one can change my mind on this. I like this ship, and I also like to ship Susie with Allison in the real world, just like their ink versions.
I wanted to write my opinion as short as possible, but as you can see, I can't write short, I always end up writing too much! >.<

A Secret Leak: The Nightmare Road Trip.
While the ink monsters and machine were packed tightly into the back while the two 'guards' and the 'driver' got everything ready, there was a knot of dread in Joey's gut that he couldn't ignore. He knew he was in too deep to go back on his word, not unless he wanted to get himself killed, but seeing the cast of characters both in the back seat through the small glass window and right next to him made him loose faith in this.
He knew that the machine needed to stay out of GENT's hands, he knew he could rely on the strength of Allison, Tom, and the 'cycle breakers' as Wilson called them. And right now, in spite of everything, they managed to get that machine out of that horrid company and into his grasp once more. But while he could trust that Henry, Tom, and Allison also wouldn't want it to fall into the wrong hands, The Prophet, 'Alice', The Projectionist, and himself fit the bill for 'the wrong hands'. And while they moved the machine to its proper place, there was ample opportunity for one or more of them to abuse it...
He could trust that his three friends wanted nothing more than their earned freedom and the knowledge that the machine would be in good hands. But what about the twisted angel who wouldn't be satisfied with ink and parts alone? What about the monstrosity cobbled together out of the said parts? What about the mad maestro who denied wanting anything from him and claimed he was doing this because he was following his own faith? Surely he couldn't go along with them for that reason alone...
Malice wasn't the most honest when it came to promises, the Projectionist was technically promised nothing and probably wouldn't take that well, and the Prophet? He was a basket case wrapped up in the occult that Joey had to keep an eye on. Even if he didn't intend to betray them, he could screw something up due to his faulty mind and blind devotion... ...Technically speaking, as he thought back on it, could he trust Tom? The wolf was very suspicious of him from the looks of it, even as a wolf he was still a GENT member at heart, he could take the machine for himself if he turned his back on him...
How could he have been so blind?! Sure, he trusted Allison's judgement, but even he knew that Tom was never a sympathetic man towards the studio and its workers, and as the machine's inventor, of course he'd try to take it back himself if he had the chance to. And it was only a matter of time before it was left vulnerable during this escapade. Of course it was only a matter of time before Joey let his guard down around Tom because he was too busy keeping it up around the others to-
"...Joey? The light's green." Henry lightly shook the man, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Oh- Oh yeah, right." the man cleared his throat and pressed on the gas. "Sorry, I guess I didn't notice.."
"No worries, but if you space out like that maybe you and I can switch spots."
"Maybe at the next stop." Joey nodded in agreement while glancing at the four ink creatures in the middle rear view mirror. "We're not out of the woods just yet..."
...
The next hour of the drive was spent in a peaceful yet uneasy silence. Henry was keeping himself awake by doodling random things, the Prophet was watching Henry doodle out of curiosity, Alice was making blueprints for the Projectionist's new body, the Projectionist seemed to be sleeping if the shutter and very faint snoring noises were anything to go by, Allison was staring out the window with a smile on her face as she watched new landscapes and places come and go, and Tom was keeping a watchful eye over the machine and the studio's workers, making a note of the fact that every time he looked through the small window that showed him the front seats, his eyes met with Joey's.
The hour after, the Prophet found an old yet very long craft store receipt and used it to play several rounds of tic-tac-toe with Henry, Alice managed to find some regular cartoon reels and managed to play them with the Projectionist, the Projectionist didn't mind being waken up to do this, Allison covered up the window she was originally looking out so that the light from outside wouldn't mess with Alice's movie, and Joey noticed that the wolf in the back seat was almost always looking at him suspiciously, as if he assumed he knew something he wasn't supposed to.
Thirty minutes later, Allison was trying to convince Alice to voice over the silent toon shows to which Alice refused as voice work with Allison was still a touchy subject for her. Tom was subtly trying to find things to cobble together a weapon with only to get busted by the screeching Projectionist. Joey was fruitlessly fidgeting with the radio in an attempt to find some music to distract his mind with. Sammy was making himself a new mask and Henry was asking the Prophet where he got the things that he was making the mask with, to which the ink man gave vague and or clearly unreliable answers to, but did answer every question the ex-animator had.
Another hour later, the group had finally found a gas station where they could safely shuffle the seating arrangements without getting caught by GENT workers. Henry was put in the driver's seat. Tom argued that he and Allison should be in the front row but Joey argued against it, bringing up the fact that Tom could be seen by humans and their cover could be breached. Tom retaliated that that didn't stop them from letting the non-disguised ink Prophet sit in the front. Joey argued that that was different as Sammy could still pass as a human being with the GENT uniform and a scarf. The Prophet himself brought up the fact that Tom and Allison were the ones who had the rest of the rainbow ink canisters and that Tom refused to give him any more now that "that part of the mission is over". Allison didn't mind sitting in the back and offered a compromise of her sitting back with the Prophet and the others while giving Tom the scarf and hat from the uniform which Sammy was fine with but Tom refused out of stubbornness.
Alice rolled her eye at the bickering and sat in the front with the Projectionist and stated that now that the other front seats were filled, Joey, Tom, and the Prophet had to sit in the back seat and shut the hell up. Henry was too tired to argue, but requested that Alice put the Projectionist in the seat between them to which Alice obliged, but Tom and Joey were still arguing.
Henry, Allison, and the Prophet used the chaos and bickering between the rest of the group as a smokescreen to just head into the gas station's convenience store. They spent roughly twenty minutes there, Henry trying to figure out how long he was stuck in time-looping ink hell using the inflation of prices as a reference, Allison just... wandering the store in a mix of bemusement and mild awe, not used to seeing so much food and so many convenient goods all in one place, and the Prophet was buying an empty journal, dog treats, beef jerky, candles, a lighter, and a pocket knife. The cashier thought nothing of it until Sammy, unprompted, started to repeatedly and suspiciously insist to the cashier that he was not going to lure in and sacrifice a dog. The other two left shortly after the Prophet was shooed out, fearing that the cashier also thought they were up to no good.
Soon after the group were finally settled into their new seats and back on the road, Allison reopened the window to look through it again. Henry focused on the road while driving and handed Alice the map. Alice looked over the map while flicking through the radio channels. The Projectionist took another nap. Joey anxiously tapped against the wall of the backseat. The Prophet hid his bag of purchases and knelt down to silently pray to his Lord. Tom smelled the fresh (by his standards) food on the Prophet and his stomach started to growl. But as a wolf and a man with dignity, a strong will, and restraint, he knew better than to beg the mad musician for food.
Two hours later, Alice and Henry were trying to figure out which motel was closer. The Projectionist was getting restless due to having his lens pointed at the floor so he wouldn't accidentally blind Henry or anyone on the road. Joey was digging through the box of miscellaneous items that he, Alice and Henry gathered from GENT during their side of the breakout. The Prophet was slowly and loudly chewing dog treats. And Allison was trying to distract Tom from his growing and increasingly insistent hunger. He appreciated it, but it didn't do much.
A final hour and a half later, the tired group FINALLY got to the motel. As most of the exhausted group shuffled out of the truck, Henry went in and got the room keys while Joey chained and locked up the ink machine and double and triple checked to make sure he had both the truck's keys and the keys to the machine's chains. If Tom had noticed, he would've argued with Joey over it, but right now he was focusing on getting out of the back of that truck that still smelled so strongly of fresh, savory, delicious meat that was so tantalizingly close to his nostrils, yet so far from his mouth... He almost felt like he was seconds away from breaking down...
"Okay guys I broke our sleeping arrangements up based on the available rooms." Henry cleared his throat to grab their attention "Tom and Allison, you two can share 103, Alice, you and The Projectionist have 202 it's the room with only one bed so I figured he could stay on the nightstand, And Sammy and Joey, you two get 414, please behave and try not to kill each other." He handed out the keys to the three pairs of people.
"Got it, see you in the morning" Alice nodded as she took the keys and the Projectionist before heading up.
"Thanks Henry." Allison smiled at the man as she took the keys. "Have a good night."
"And where will you be sleeping?" Joey asked the exhausted looking animator. "I don't see a forth set of keys."
"Oh, I'm just going to sleep in the truck." He shrugged nonchalantly. "I'm not really picky when it comes to beds, makeshift or otherwise."
"Does the truck need to be guarded during the night?" The Prophet sincerely asked.
"No, Joey has the keys and I doubt anyone will tow it, there's just... not enough room for me in the motel."
"Nonsense!" Both Joey and the Prophet chimed.
"You and I could share a bed-"
"My inky body is only solid because it's under constant stress, if I tried to relax and sleep in an actual bed, I would melt into the mattress. This would result in me leaving a horrible smelling stain that nothing could ever properly scrub out as well as resulting in me losing much-needed body weight." The Prophet explained while ignoring the look Joey was giving him which was somehow a glare, a look of disgust, and an expression of morbid curiosity all at once. "So regardless of the amount of beds, I would be sleeping in the bathtub anyway. Please do not waste the opportunity to sleep in a good bed for my sake."
"...Okay then. I guess I'm sharing the motel room with you two." Henry softly chuckled while shaking his head.

What are your top five (romantic) ships and why? 🤍
Oh man, I've been around the fandom traps for so long, this is the sort of question that feels like I have a million answers to. I have so many formative ships I could list that probably make my current ships make more sense, but for the sake of today, let's go with some Right Now ships? And sure, they're all over the place too, haha, but okay, let's go:
Tumblr media
5. Allison x Ray, The Umbrella Academy
I know Allison lost a lot of fans with s3, but she didn't lose me!!! I do think the show is in a sticky spot of not really knowing what do with her, but I think Emmy Raver-Lampman is a much warmer and more interesting actress than she gets credit for, and that Allison is a character with so much simmering beneath the surface, which I could talk about all day, but is not the point of this post, haha.
Allison and Ray are really different characters, and the thing I love most about them (outside of Emmy and Yusuf's wonderful chemistry) is that they have these different experiences of trauma, but also these different understandings of power and what it is to fight. Ray chose to fight for his and his community's civil rights, while Allison had the fight forced upon her by an abusive adoptive father, and her relationship with violence, with her own strength and power, with herself is forever tarnished as a result.
I don't think the show has always written them well, but I think Emmy and Yusuf have always played them perfectly, and they play these moments where they chafe against moments they sink into each other so well that it makes me go insane.
Tumblr media
4. Joey x Pacey, Dawson's Creek
Look, the reality is Joey and Pacey will never not be an OTP for me. They are the enemies to friends to lovers ship, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong!! The snark, the slow building trust, the empathy, the grace, the personal insecurities crippling the relationship, the way they just !! Fidnd their way back to each other!! Sorry, but they are the teen show ship of all time.
Tumblr media
3. Shauna x Taissa, Yellowjackets
Probably a controversial opinion given the current season is for some reason refusing to have Tawny and Melanie's insane chemistry on screen (I can only assume it was too powerful), but I love them. I've always had a really big soft spot for what I tend to call the 'collateral damage' characters, and especially those collateral damage characters falling into bed together.
Neither of them want to be the main character of this particular story, but they both circle the roles and only find each other, and I just really, really love that. Their intimacy, their bond, their messy, fucked up dynamic, their chemistry, which I've already said, but will say again, haha. I just love them, and I want them to have an offputtingly intense and sexual bond forever.
Tumblr media
2. Kendall x Stewy, Succession
LOOK, it's just the childhood friendship turned fractured adulthood relationship stoked by the trauma you both knew about. It's the unwanted but ever present intimacy, it's the desperately needed fire in a cold and barren life, it's the trust that, despite every betrayal and misdeed, never really wavers. I can't cope, I literally love them so much it makes me insane.
Tumblr media
Beth x Rio, Good Girls
I've talked about them ad nauseum on this blog, haha, and all I have left to say is that they are, unfortunately, still It for me.
Ask me for my Top Fives

Human day!
Story requested by @hardcorecryptidwitch thank you! Sorry it took so long but I hope you enjoy! :)
—-
One day. Out of the whole year of being and ink abomination they all get one day to be there old human selves again. How? They don’t really know how and why it happens for one day but they don’t question this gift they received on this day. They embrace it.
Sammy flickered his eyes open and pulls himself up with the help of a desk, before looking around. He noticed he was in the animation part of the Studio this time. It was better then where he was last time, in a deep pool of ink. Sammy slips off his bendy mask and sats it down on the desk next to his axe and wondered where the others ended up as he tries to find a mirror. He ended up finding a shattered one in a bathroom and starts tiding himself up. He tries to comb out his hair with his fingers then wash it a bit the best he can. Surprisingly some sinks still has water which he was grateful of. After cleaning his hand and face he went off to find someone. Anyone.
Susie awoken on the floor in Alice angels area. She sat up for a few minutes to remember who she was. She was Susie Campbell. Born in New Jersey. She had trained all her childhood to become in Voice actress like her mother. Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember her parents, names. It has been so long since she could. But she could still remember vague memories of them and her siblings. After a while she stood up and looked at her hands. She was surprised they were fleshy, like how there supposed to be, and not made out of ink. Susie’s hands reached up to her face and felt around. She could feel the warmth of her skin and not the cold icy ink she was usually made of. But she still needed proof that today was that day. She looks around and found a piece of glass. She can picked it up and glanced into it. The reflection she got back was a beautiful curly blond haired woman with a bright green eyes. The reflection smiled at her and she understood that was her. Today was that day.
Buddy was calmly awoken by a brown haired green eyed woman and helped sit up As he blinked a few times he could see a tall man at the door watching them both. For a good few minutes he knew nothing but after some time things began coming to him. He was buddy who used to work as with Joey Drew as his go-fer before he was turned into a cartoon wolf. And these two was were Allison and Tom who also had jobs here before. Buddy looked at them and notice they haven’t aged a day and suggest he still looked the same. He knew he couldn’t say the same about his old friend, Dot. Hell he didn’t even know if she was still alive. She was one of the lucky ones. Never gotten to be sacrificed and changed. Leaving the studio at just the right time. Buddy hoped she had lived a life of Joy and Adventure. He hoped it wasn’t spent sobbing over him and the others or being threatened by joey himself. He was forced out of thought at his name being called and looked up at Allison. She had offered her hand to him. “Come on. We need to see if the others needs help”
The first person Sammy found wasn’t who he really wanted to see first but they were friends anyways, more so since he had entered there inky hell. Henry looked over at him after checking himself over. “It’s strange to be back to human even for just a day”
Sammy nodded. “I agree but it’s a dream come true. We shouldn’t waste this time.” He replied to him.
Henry nodded. “Today I’m going to look for a way out.”
Sammy looked at him. “Henry. We all tried that the first five times we were given this day. Non of us found a way out.” He frowned.
“Well maybe you guys missed it or maybe there’s one now. You guys go spend time together. I don’t mind sacrificing my free day looking.” Henry told him.
Sammy shrugs. “Good luck.” He replied before leaving the room. He wanted so see one person in particular and that person was the one that kept Sammy safe until Joey killed him. The one person that ever made Sammy special and protected.
He went to the darkest and deepest parts of the studio hoping to find Norman polk there. He did not see him but that didn’t mean he wasn’t there. “Norman are you here?” He ask after searching for a few minutes. Seconds later two arms wrapped around him from behind, hugging him.
“I’m here Sammy.” Came Normans voice.
Sammy turned around facing him and embracing his hug. “It’s good to see you. Only for a day norn”
Norman kisses the top of his head. “It’s good to see you Sam.” He took his hand and leads Sammy into the first thing they wanted to do.
-
Susie was wondering the halls and the sighs of Henry below made her curious. She stop on the balcony and watched knocking and checking the walls. She got curious so she went down to him. “ what you doing Henry?”
He looked over for a minute. “I’m lookia way out for us. Maybe it’s possible y’all missed something or maybe something changed into a door way, you know?”
Susie nodded. “Maybe your right. Do you want me to help?”
Henry smiles. “If you want to. Thanks”
She nodded. “Yea. alright let’s investigate.” Susie joined Henry as he finished this room and followed him to the next room.
—-
Buddy finished cleaning up and headed back to Alison and tom. They were Discussing something about wanting to do something for everyone. Tom didn’t much cars but buddy could see it meant a lot for Allison. “Maybe we can host a dinner party for everyone?” He ask.
The two stopped talking and turned to him. “Buddy that’s a wonderful idea!” Allison replied with a smile. “There could be food and dancing and games to!” She said. “I need to make a list” she begins looking for something and ends up finding an old note book and began that list. “Food, games, music, tables, plates, silverware and chairs.”
“I can get things the tables and chairs set up” Tom offered.
“And I can go look for game, good and music.” Buddy said.
“Thanks! That will be great!” Allison replied. “I will find the rest and even make a couple posters for the event.” She smiled.
“That’s a good idea.” Buddy then left to search. He ended up down in heavenly toys. It was a huge department and it the center was a ink fall with a giant Wooden sign with the name of this department. He looked around and sees a few people in one corner talking, a lady taking a nap on the couch and the head of the department with the accountant. They were talking with each other and buddy didn’t want to interrupt and take away the time they had as human.
He went over to one of the shelves and quietly looked though it. There was old books, unfinished toys, and some fun looking games here. Buddy decided to take a few of the games and books on his first trip for the party later. He grabbed them and headed back to the break room.
—-
Sammy and Norman has just finished watching one of the episodes of the old cartoons, like they do everything time on this day. This was was called the devils train. It was an episode where bendy and Boris still a train carrying gold and Alice Angel puts a stop to that. It hand a bunch of funny parts in it like Boris getting a pie to the face. It was one of the many successful episodes they had before thinks went bad.
Norman put away the reel as Sammy went over and looked though old records they had made. He flipped though one by one looking at each name and remembering the episode it was created for. He came up to one that would play slow music and he looked at it getting an idea.
When Norman came back to the room soft romantic music started playing and there was a few candles here and there. Sammy was standing there with a shy smile and his hand out. Norman blushes as he took his hand. “Do you remember what I taught you all those years ago?” Sammy ask. “Right foot, 1-2-3. Left foot, 1-2-3”
Norman recalled the dance lessons Sammy had gave him and moved on with the beat. Left foot, 1-2-3. Right foot,1-2-3” he repeated.
He followed the pattern until he didn’t need to speak it anymore. He soon took the lead of the dance and Sammy was happily following along with him. He’s soft cheeks were pink with adorable blush and his face was bright with a wide smile. Norman even heard him giggle a bit, which made his heart skip beats. Together they spawn around dancing to the beat of the movie with spins and dips and finishing a graceful ending.
They stared at each, eyes full of love for one other. They both had forgotten where they were and what was happening to them for most of the beautiful dance. And that was alright with them. They wanted to forget even just for a minute.
———
Henry and Susie had been looking around for an opening together all day. They just needed to find something to let them know they could be free, anything! A door! A hatch! Hell even a hole in the wall! Instead they found nothing. No way of escaping. Susie already knew that but Henry still had hope however when she looked at Henry she could recognized that look. It was the looked they all had once when they realized there was no getting out of this. The look of hopelessness, regret even. She wanted him to still have hope.
“Hey” she sat beside Henry. “I know it’s hard to find the light in the tunnel. But no matter how long it goes there’s always the light..”
Henry shook his head. “There’s no light here….the others we’re right. We’re all trapped here.”
Susie turns to face him. “You came along just a few years ago Henry. Joey is still watching us…playing with us.” She replied. And there’s people out there that remember us like Wally frank. Or your wife, Linda. The police come be watching Joey as we speak. We will get out of here one day.”
Henry finally faced her after a long paused. Susie was relieved there was some of that hope, that spark, back in his eyes. “Your right Susie. We could get out at any moment. Thank you.”
Susie gave him a side hug. “Always here to help.” She smiles. “Now why don’t we go to that party Allison, Tom and buddy are planning before we miss it?”
Henry chuckled. “That sounds good. Let’s go.” He gets up and offers a hand to Susie. Her cheeks blush a soft pink as she took his offered hand.
“Thank you.” She said with a smile.
“It’s my pleasure.” Henry gave a little bow and helped her up before together they headed to the break room.
——-
Buddy sat at the far end of the table they had sat up as Alison sat baskets of roles by the rest of the food, every few feet for everyone. He happily took one before he took a moment to watched everything.
Alison sat down beside Tom and helped him with his missing arm as they talk about the mechanical one that was being built by Lacie.
A few feet away, Shawn, the toy maker was with Grant, looking though an old toy catalog Grant had found. The two of them were talking about which they had and which they wanted while they eat.
Susie and Henry showed up and took the seats way down the table and was quickly consume into the Conversation around them as they serve their plates.
Sammy and Norman was at the opposite end and buddy couldn’t hear what they were saying but boy did they love each other, even after all this time.
Everyone had there partner here with them but him. He misses dot but he was always glad she wasn’t stuck here with the rest of them. That thought lead him to many others like where is she now? Or is she even still alive? He new it wouldn’t be wise to obsess over these thoughts so he force then to the back of his mind and start a Conversation with Johnny.

What are your ships for Batim? :D
Tumblr media
VERY GOOD QUESTION- I know my answer should be rather straightforward but I feel I have to put some context to my answers since they may seem contradictory/paradoxical otherwise, so bear with me-
Sammy x Norman : Well. I think that one was pretty obvious, anyone who's seen more than 3 of my posts knows that I'd die for these two. They're just so PERFECT for each other, from their complementary personalities to the fact that their relationship allows us to delve deeper into batim's historical and social context. Sammy and Norman have one of the few relationships that develop the most during the game's lore : Norman originally complains vehemently about Sammy's frenetic behavior, only to end up lamenting to Buddy and Dot how 'Sammy isn't the same anymore'. What's interesting about this statement is that he says it in relation to Sammy's strange behavior : clearly, the two men have grown close enough for Norman to differentiate Sammy's extravagant habits from his ink-influenced behavior.
Furthermore, Sammy is a very gray character morally, a perfectionist who is extremely socially maladjusted (surely due to the fact that he's coded on the spectrum and autism wasn't properly diagnosed at the time), naturally ostracizing him. For his part, Norman comes from a rural background (which surely earns him the animosity of the people at the studio, given the historical context and the fact that he could very well be poc) and also seems ill at ease socially : to me, it's fascinating to see two characters excluded from their peers because of differences they can't change (being autistic or poc and gay) getting closer to each other, to the point where Sammy, who is deeply misanthropic, naturally compliments Norman by describing him as very bright. To me, Norman is the perfect partner for Sammy : ready to apprehend him as he is, since he's completely free of social conventions, without taking any shits from him.
I think Sammy and Norman can really get the best out of each other, during a historical period when being different was strongly proscribed. I think I'd have trouble enjoying Batim as much without their dynamic at its heart (considering how narratively rich it is) : Norman is Henry's confidant, Sammy is Joey's, both remain morally gray deuteragonists fundamentally opposed to the ink machine, while remaining fascinated by its powers. And who wouldn't love a good old enemies to lovers ending tragically with the unwitting murder of one by the other ? After all, Norman's main flaw is that he's too curious for his own good, and it was Sammy who inevitably led him to his doom..
Allison x Tom : what more can I add. She's everything. He's just Tom. I've always been drawn to characters/ships with a vibe completely opposite to the vibe of the work they originally came from, and the 'turning poison into positivity' energy that Tom and Allison bring to Batim has always fascinated me. In a world as tragic as their own, I find it touching to see these two find beauty in all the ugliness and manage to ask themselves 'what if we were happy after all ?' It's really striking and brings a narrative richness to the work, since they directly mirror what failed with Sammy and Susie : Allison is perfect, but that was never what was at stake in Tom's eyes. Tom was looking for humanity, not perfection, and he managed to go beyond the image of the muse to discover a friend, unlike Sammy with Susie. They're literally Romeo and Juliet but, well... Not dead.
Joey x Henry/Henry x Linda : oh boy. These three... Let me get it straight right away : Henry and Linda are perfect for each other. She's exactly what he needs to be happy : she's present, patient. There's no denying that he loves her immensely. But Joey... oh Joey is undoubtedly Henry's soul mate. The subtlety is that Joey can't bring him the stable happiness Linda can : Joey tugs at him, pushes him over the edge. He knows exactly what to do to push him beyond his own limits. The love Joey offers Henry is an uncomfortable but unconditional one, one that would allow Henry to go beyond what he thinks he's capable of achieving because no one knows Henry better than Joey ! And let's be honest, Batim only exists because Joey refuses to move on, to live his dream without Henry in it. He's stuck in unrequited love and refuses to learn to live with it. And that's the tragedy of this trio : Henry sincerely loves Linda but is truly himself with Joey, which prevents him from hating OR loving him (And Joey exploits this information by remaining extremely toxic and convincing himself that he can wear him down lmao). Henry is stuck with this dilemma : Existing peacefully with Linda or living painfully with Joey. And that's why I love the dynamic of this love triangle : because there are no solutions that will satisfy everyone.
Joey x Sammy : okay, don’t get me wrong : these two are HORRIBLE for each other. Does Sammy periodically want to quit just to piss Joey off? Yes. Isn't Joey's fascination with Sammy intimately tied to his refusal to forget Henry, who was a genius like Sammy? Yes. Nevertheless, it's impossible for me to read The Illusion of Living without feeling embarrassed and like I'm reading Joey's diary : whether you ship them or not, Joey is practically canonically smitten with Sammy. I sincerely don't think Joey and Sammy can sustain a healthy relationship with each other, but oh boy, surely that won't stop me from exploiting their bizarre obsessive love-hate relationship, where it's hard to determine whether they're going to throw hands or make out.

Doctor Y/n - Attending Orthopedic Surgeon - 9 - Grey's Anatomy x Fem!Reader
Peeling back the duvet, you glanced down at the sleeping Allison who had snuck into the bed again whilst you asleep.
"Good morning Ally, time to get up before Luna starts her alarm call for your auntie Joey." You watched as the sleeping child began to stir from her dreamland.
///
"Joey, I'm going to get in the shower!" You declared after Owen had picked up Allison to take her and Leo to the park, bonding time for the children with Owen's mother, plus his sister Megan and her son Farouk.
Teddy was already at work, so you took your shower alone whilst Jo was up with Luna already in the kitchen when you heard the knock at the door and Jo going to answer it.
"Why are you dressed like a pigeon?"
"I'm a phoenix! Phoenix Fest!" Schmitt defended his costume, "what happened to your hair? Are you having a nervous breakdown?"
"No! I was trying to lighten my hair a few shades but I fell asleep, and Braces is in the shower after staying up with Allison who wouldn't sleep. I try to study when Luna's sleeping and Teddy and Braces have Allison and also Leo and Rory who visit now, but- help me!" Jo got louder and louder as she prepared a bottle for Luna.
"Do you have scissors?" Schmitt carefully asked, grimacing as Luna began to cry and Jo sighed.
///
"Okay, I will see you two later!" You nodded to Jo, then glancing at Luna before getting out of the car, not seeing Jo fail to follow as you headed into Grey Sloan for your shift.
"Tandem cyclists crashed. Rider in the back flew about 10 feet, she's hypotensive and presents with numbness in her legs, possible spinal fractures." Nico explained as he caught up to where you had caught up with Link.
"Swell." Link's smile was fake, reminding you of how he had turned up at the penthouse needing a place to crash after his proposal to Amelia went south.
"Might want to lose the happy face. Patient might be paralysed." Nico replied as you raised an eyebrow, realising things were probably even worse than you thought.
"I don't want to look how I feel, Nico, which is like I want to break the whole world into a million pieces and bury it so no one can find it." Link put on another fake smile as the three of you grabbed gloves.
"Maybe we should take this one then?" You offered, gesturing between yourself and Nico, the patient talking about how her wife had steered the bike into a family's day out in the park, and a nearby priest who had been visiting the duck pond.
"Y/n, her wife, Ms Correa, bed three." Winston instructed you, and as you headed over to the patient bed in question, you were glad it was you Winston sent, and not Link, as Amelia's face broke into a smile at seeing you.
"Can someone make sure that the priest is okay?"
"Priest?" Your nose crinkled in confusion, looking to Amelia for an explanation.
"They ran over a priest visiting the duck pond."
///
Nico, Link and Amelia were in the OR whilst you were in the ER, looking for anyone who could help Schmitt restore a patient's face after blasting it off with illegal fireworks, a patient who was apparently on shrooms.
It was Webber who returned with a plastics candidate who was interviewing.
"Did you pull that doctor from the interview-"
"We needed a plastics surgeon, I gave privileges." Webber replied, heading to go try to re-arrange the interview with Dr Lin, whilst you were prowling the ER for ortho cases.
///
"Y/n!" Megan Hunt spotted you almost immediately after having calmed Owen down from the fact that a priest had died after colliding with bikes that had almost hit his family, including Allison and Leo.
"Hello, Megan!" You froze for a moment before the woman pulled you into a hug.
"Come on, we're all going to the bar to raise a class for Father Christopher, and I haven't seen you in ages but Allison kept asking for her mommy and mama at the park today." Megan smiled, looking over at where Teddy was watching you both with a smile on her face.
///
Two incoming message(s)
Link: Found Jo sat in her car in the car park.
Link: She couldn't take Luna in to daycare and leave her.
One unread message
Link: What happened to Jo's hair?
Y/n: sleep deprivation and a hair lightening kit
You barely managed to type a reply to Link before Allison was in front of you, her hands on your knees wanting up.
///
"Okay I'm not going to tell you how to parent your son, but this is not going in Luna's bag. Hey, Braces, is Ally finally asleep?" Jo spotted you wrapped in a blanket, looking exhausted but you still tried to help with Link and Jo preparing the bags for Luna and Scout.
Especially since Amelia had headed to Minnesota, and Scout had decided to stop sleeping through the night.
"Teddy is dropping Leo off at Owen's, I think Scout is asleep and my job is now to try save Elsa's cape which ended up in the dishwasher? Leo's world, we just live in it." You concluded as you began to examine the remains of the cape.
"Too bad Jackson left, this cape needs plastics to restore it, and I don't think I can ship it to Boston."
///
"All of the children are at daycare, one form or another. Cody texted me a photo of Rory and everything... and Arizona just texted me a photo of Sofia, wow it's been forever since I've seen them!"
"Should we shelve the Elsa costume?" Teddy enquired, confusing you and Owen with the new conversation topic.
"What?" Owen frowned whilst you jumped to wanting an explanation.
"Why?"
"You know, put Leo in more t-shirts and jeans? Just, is that the right parenting move?" Teddy asked, glancing between you and Owen, before reaching for your hand as she noticed you shift nervously.
"Did something happen?" Owen enquired but Teddy shook it off.
"None of the other kids at daycare are wearing costumes, so I just..."
"I think Leo should decide what Leo wants to wear. I didn't have much growing up, clothes especially. Costumes of characters never happened, so I think... I am being called." You headed out as the scans were up for Owen and Teddy's patient.
///
Amelia calling you from Minnesota took you by surprise as you headed into the Residents Olympics, sitting with Jo and Link.
"I found a strawberry in my patient."
"Back in med school, I found a yam." Link added, eating more crisps before putting bets on the residents.
"Brussel sprouts. Plural." You added in, making Jo and Link look at you in shock.
///
"Look at you two, breaking rules and saving lives. Too bad I prefer Teddy with Y/n than my own brother." Megan Hunt sassed as Owen looked offended and Teddy tried not to laugh.
You were completely in the dark about their patient, and the actions that would follow everything.
///
Your phone buzzed with an email, opening your phone to see Callie had sent you a research article to read. You barely had time to open it as Jo sent a message to you.
Joey: please hurry home, Link is singing depressing lullabies
"I'm worried, I want Leo to be okay in the world, what if-"
"What if we let him be himself?" Owen suggested, smiling as he spotted you sat on the floor of the daycare, helping Leo put on Elsa's cape.
"I'm worried that the world won't be kind. I'm worried that it will be hard. I'm worried that people will be cruel." Teddy confessed, her eyes lingering on where you were grinning and singing Let It Go with Leo and Allison.
"Maybe they will be. Y/n has seen more hardship and cruelty as a child than any child should, but despite my first judgements, S/n is great with the kids. Leo's happy, let's just let him be happy, okay?" Owen suggested, smiling as Leo spotted them both and made a beeline, whilst you pushed the pushchair that Allison had been put in.
"Let's get you all home." You barely heard what Owen said as Teddy walked over to you, holding Leo in her arms but leaning in to kiss your cheek.
"Hi, love. How was your day?"
