#the name of the game

[katewritesss]

I was listening to the Mamma Mia 2 soundtrack again and I got Icemav thoughts:

If "Andate, Andate," is Maverick to Ice, then "The Name of the Game" is Ice to Maverick.

dayurno i need to admit on a deep psychic level that the way you wrote robin in notg and her relationship with kandreil in general but especially kevin is so deeply personal and important and life changing to ME !!!! my world was forever rocked seeing sweet angel girl robin cross as the strange adopted child/younger sister/stray cat adopted by small children on the street character of the kandreil universe. super mega important to me.

just these three men, broken beyond belief, treating a young girl who has stumbled into their care somehow with a degree of gentleness and kindness deeply unlike their supposed character and also far beyond the scope of her treatment thus far

all in all before i start weeping and crying about robin cross i think you did a beautiful magical job of portraying how she would fit into their world in a magical beautiful alternate universe

THEY LOVE HER SO MUCH.................. i know it was entirely self-indulgent on my part but i really really really like that detail of tnotg; that robin was the glue that stuck the monsters together after kandrew's cold war and the reason he and andrew got close again at all, that kevin took all of his complicated feelings and put them into whipping robin into shape because it was easier than confronting how he felt about seeing andrew act like he did with him towards her............ robin cross you miracle girl you! i love her i really do love her

AND JUST. OH YOU KNOW the constant reminder of kevin through robin in both andrew's and neil's povs which was so fun to write too... the way andrew couldn't stop seeing kevin in his first year at psu in her and the way neil struggled with training her after kevin graduated......... i think the reason kevin and robin are both so dear to me is that i love when a character is scared. i love when they are afraid and i love when someone comes to their rescue. i think fear is such a defining emotion and i find that characters that are chased into admitting they are afraid and showing that vulnerability are so interesting........... i don't know if i can word this in a way that makes sense but kevin and robin to me have that sweet spot of a 'coming into one's self' narrative that is not cheesy. i think there is something very worthwhile and interesting and human about being afraid every day, all the time and trying to make peace with it. my pretty caged birds

#one therapist between kevin and robin would have their work cut out for them for decades #but they could do it ib elieve it! #something something about captive birds and scaredy cats and people who need protection and people who want a wing to hide under #people who never had a chance to be People before #the agoraphobic sisters #asks #kevin #robin #kevin&robin #the name of the game

Thinking about Una Chin-Riley (of course) and I feel like, at this point in the canon (end of SNW season one), we have three main possibilities:

Her real name actually is Una Chin-Riley.

Her real name is a beloved secret she only entrusts to a select few.

Her real name is her deadname — a life she left behind on the colony she believed in but couldn’t confine herself to — and she doesn’t want to hear that name from anyone, including herself.

Thoughts?

#star trek strange new worlds #una chin-riley #what’s in a name? #by any other name #say my name say my name #the name of the game #(note: not my fault they didn’t make her actual name number one) #(maybe they were trying to align with tng canon?) #oooh what if una’s real name is chief? #and that’s why la’an calls her chief?

So…. Is the song The Name Of The Game by ABBA a song about some girl going to therapy and falling in love with her therapist or have I just completely misinterpreted the song

rereading tnotg to fill a void as i wait for the final chap of playing for keeps and oh MY GOD the kandrew scene in the fancy bathroom is intimate.......... how is it sexier than explicit sex scenes in playing for keeps

WELL HONESTLY I THINK sex just isnt sexy...!!!! do you know what i mean.... almost having sex is sexy and being in the cusp of doing it is sexy but actual sex! not sexy at all...... stands true for every realm

but i was rereading that scene after getting that ask and oughhh youre right theyre truly so in love already its disgusting and intimate and so full of yearning.... i havent read tnotg in a long time so that was a refreshing thing to read even though i take psych dmg every time i see a writing decision i now disagree with..... now 25k into the pfk last chapter im like wow kandreil are in love actually.... having intimate weepy old man sex well into their 50s.... gonna be together forever... etc. love them

I've seen you twice In a short time Only a week since we started

It seems to me For every time I’m getting more openhearted

I was an impossible case No one ever could reach me

But I think I can see in your face There's a lot you can teach me

So I wanna know What’s the name of the game? Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game? Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please Cause I have to know I'm a bashful child Beginning to grow

And you make me talk And you make me feel And you make me show What I’m trying to conceal

If I trust in you Would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me If I said I care for you? Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know The name of the game
