@wr1tten sent: 'I want the K' ( Unity > Rick )

{ Randomly generated number: 5. Firm Kiss }

He hadn't planned for this. Never again, not after what had happened the last time. If he had known that, of all people, he would have run into them, he would have turned his ship around and picked another pub to get drunk in, on the other side of the universe. In the same dimension, of course, to be sure that their paths couldn't have crossed.

Rick Sanchez was a man of science, with absolutely no belief in religion, metaphysics or whatever other similar bullshit. Fate wasn't a real thing...Well, not unless you were holding a Lockerean with a digestive issue captive. Yet, there were situations like the present one that made him wonder if he had pissed off one powerful being too many during the years, because he had the impression that the multiverse had to hate him.

Just as the previous time, Unity had been them to spot and recognise him first. It hadn't tried to get his attention this once, but the scientist had caught the sight of a group of people simultaneously turning their heads away from him, too synchronised for it to be possible...not unless they all shared one mind.

The fact that it was still inhabiting members of the same species it had during their last encounter had chased away his lingering doubts. It couldn't be a coincidence.

And goddammit, he had been sober enough to notice and connect the dots, yet drunk enough to decide that approaching it wasn't the worst choice he could have made. Story of his life.

At first, it hadn't seemed too catastrophic. They had talked a little, the air between them tense and awkward. It had been painful for him, because he doubted that it would ever not be, but he had deluded himself into thinking that he could have kept it together. Besides, the alcohol he had kept gulping down after every sentence had numbed him a little more with each sip.

It had helped...until he hadn't.

Rick didn't have a clear memory of how it had happened, nor of why he had decided to wreck the slim but budding chance at a friendly reconciliation he was being offered. But then again, that was what he always did, wasn't it? He ruined and destroyed everything he touched.

He didn't even realise that he had moved until it was already too late. He couldn't even recall which one of the aliens he had grabbed, just that they had been the closest to him. What he did remember, however, was the others' collective surprised gasp and the way the body he had forced against his own was half-heartedly trying to push him away as he pressed their mouths together, firmly and relentless.

His mind shut down completely, his every rational thought gone, drowned in the desperate need to get a taste of what he had lost. Twice. Yet, Unity was there, wasn't it? And, perhaps, if he had tried hard enough he would have managed to make it stay this time. Get it addicted to him as it had been during their increasingly tormented relationship. He could have swallowed it all again, forced it to get lost in him.

He could have tried. He could have even succeeded. But it was wrong. He didn't want to be that person anymore, and he knew that it was the only person he could ever be around Unity.

Fuck.

Rick broke away even more abruptly than he had leant in, tripping on the chair he hadn't realised he had left. He managed to catch the edge of the table, sparing himself a humiliating fall on his ass, and then took another, more careful step backwards, eyes turned away.

"I...I-I'm sorry. I didn't...I-I shouldn't have done that," he stuttered out, voice tight with the effort he was making to push the words out. Breathing was becoming harder and harder, and he could feel his eyes stinging with unshed tears. "I-It's...S-Shit, I just...I don't know w-what came over me. I-I'm drunk and..."

As always. Yet another constant that had haunted him in the last forty years. Yet another of the too many factors that had almost pulled Unity down in the abyss with him.

"I...I-I have to go," he finished, gritting his teeth and balling his fists by his side. His voice was shaking, but there was a more stubborn note in it now. "H-Have a...a good life, Unity." A life where they wouldn't meet ever again. "I-It's been...I..."

He trailed off, shaking his head. He didn't even know what he wanted to say. What he did know was that he had to get out of there before his chest collapsed into itself and before all his insides were ripped into pieces.

Without another word, he brusquely turned around and rushed towards the door, not even acknowledging the server he bumped into, the sounds of glasses shattering falling and the consequential shouting to deaf ears.

[wombywoo]

It occurred to me the other day that during Quinn's super turbo trauma story, his neck probably wasn't slashed but choked. And now I have more questions, because somehow I can't stop thinking about your characters. So:

Did Quinn end up having a vision during that event? (Does he get them during every near-death event, or is it more rare than that?)

How the hell did he cope being with Marc? 'Cause I'm about 90% sure that guy would have got off on choking him.

When the taskforce was created, was Quinn still in his relapse where he thought he needed his visions? Did Liz find out? How does he feel about her trying to get him to have more visions? D=

Does Vincent find out Liz is using Quinn like that, and how does he feel about it? (Does Danny find out??)

In fact, how does Vincent feel about the fact an evil vampire caused a mass dragon killing spree and this was Quinn's first vision? I get the feeling that, while Quinn tries to shrug off these coincidences, Vincent is a little more concerned. XD

Also, in your art of Quinn with Marc, the wall says 196 people will die in an ungodly tragedy. Was that the dragon killing spree or another event we have yet to hear of?

Oops. 🙈 Sorry for so many questions! I just want to know all the things. And I can't help but love all your lore drops. <3

Ok!! OK!!!!! You are feeding me so well with these tasty questions auughhh thank you for finding interest in my dumb ramblings !!!!!

There are answers under the cut (warning for some heavy topics, discussion of injuries, domestic abuse, self harm, spoilers for a story that doesn't even exist, etc)

So.

Quinn's throat was slashed. It was cut with a knife, kind of a shaky first slice, but it got deeper and went all the way across; enough force to puncture his trachea, though it didn't sever the vocal cords; he was lying on his back and couldn't move, and honestly..he didn't really feel it at the time. It was all just a very numb, surreal feeling. I won't go into suuuper specifics, but thankfully some pressure was applied to the wound right away, he was resuscitated with cpr, and he was still able to breathe despite some complications to his airway, long enough for him to receive medical treatment.

But he did black out. And he might have seen things.

It's the only vision he's had that he can't remember...

~*waves hands all vague and mysterious like~*oohooohoo

Ok! Visions! So, for the most part, Quinn needs to be medically dead, albeit temporarily, for him to have a vision. Usually, his heart has to stop for one to happen, and he's just lying there, unmoving. Like..dead, dead. This should be a rare event, but uh...he's had more than a dozen visions, I'd say....

The thing is--he always comes back. Even in the worst scenarios (ie. not breathing for more than 5 minutes) he somehow always miraculously revives with minimal repercussions (sure, there's probable brain/heart damage, but it should be way waaay worse) So, he's kind of chalked up this vague 'immortality' thing as a byproduct of the visions...more mystery...

With Marc--yeah. That was just a bad situation all around. A lot of Marc and Quinn's physical relationship revolved around their dangerous power dynamic, so um. yeah. choking was one of the things they messed around with. Quinn actually requested it at the time, out of this twisted self-harm kink he'd developed. (he's, regrettably, the worst at coping with his trauma, so uhhh he feels like he needs to push himself to that same sensation of near death just feel anything at all and uhhh it's not good, you should not do this at home kids, but he feels like strangulation is the closest he can come to feeling alive just for a brief second and yeah he's fucked up he's not good I know..)

It was consensual stuff at first, but after one of their..sessions...Marc pushed it too far, he wouldn't let go and uh. Quinn suffocated and passed out. Marc did manage to revive him, but he...died for a second there. And he had a vision--one of the first dragon attacks in France that would later lead to its occupation by [insert evil vampire terrorist group]. Marc was actually comforting him after, he was just...rubbing him and telling him he was sorry and it was ok, so in the midst of a mental and physical breakdown, Quinn divulged what he saw. And Marc took him seriously, which was also rare. And they talked about it, and...it seemed ok for once.

It was only after that he realized how Marc wanted specific details, stuff he could use to harvest information and push numbers and invest in whatever type of bullshit could make a profit out of tragedy. They carried on with their relationship, but when it came to testing their limits in the bedroom....Marc took it too far again. And Quinn had another vision--a vampire massacre in [specific french location] and 196 people died, and he was crying as he told him how he saw it all from the perspective of a child. Marc seemed eager. He asked him even more questions. But...it was fine. He was still rubbing him, being calm. And Quinn had agreed to the choking. He wanted this. It was actually helping other people if he was able to use this information somehow.

But it happened again. And again. More times... Until eventually Quinn realized he had no say in the matter anymore.

The sad thing was that he convinced himself it was out of love; Marc was very passionate, this was just his way of showing him he loved him....

It became too much...after a while....

ANyway!

So, now we're in the present when Quinn joins the task force with Vincent~

At this point in time, he's gotten help with his mental state so he no longer feels the desperate urge to harm himself and induce his visions (for the most part), and is relatively stable (sure!)

Miss Major Liz is aware of his visions, to a degree. She had mistakenly thought Quinn developed a narcotic problem when she was his CO at some point (yes, he used drugs a few times to induce visions (it was about 50/50 successful)) Most of her awareness had come from Danny, who divulged his part in Quinn's #BFF-bonding-moment4lyfe (ie, forcing his friend to assist in drowning himself. twice) So she does have knowledge of some of the...wackiness.

At this point in our tale, she hasn't done anything about it. Yet. It's a testament to how off the books she works that she hasn't forced Quinn into a psych eval that will surely bench him for the next foreseeable uuhh forever. So she's keeping that on lock.

I do think that [at some point in this potential story of mine] she will consider using Quinn's 'talents' to their benefit. She's a hard lady, not afraid to trade dirty hands for even dirtier handshakes, so there will probably be a time when she wants to take advantage of potential knowledge that can influence her agenda....

Vincent...will not take this lightly.

Honestly, this whole scenario is rife with delicious drama, so I will simmer it on low and ponder it for future conflict in the [insert novel series teehee] to come

Vincent has a lot of feelings about Quinn !!!! and his visions !!! and the evil vampire agenda !!!! Too many feelings!! But all he wants is for his boy to understand that his safety and wellbeing and life are the most important things to him, and none of that is worth trading for a small glimpse at a future that will happen anyway. Quinn...disagrees. This is also teeming with potential drama, you see...

I have a LOT more of this type of speculation, but for now, I will leave you with this dump of lore and trauma for you to sink your teeth into~

Thanks for the saucy and delicious questions <3

Hi :D

kudos to you for actually choosing an emoji for each wip xD

13. 😭😭 34. 💦💦 21. 💋💋

thank you haha, I'm actually really proud of the emojis I chose! 🥰

also I'm sorry but I have got absolutely no motivation for the last two atm so I wrote extra on the first one instead, hope that's okay!

😭😭 - fwb misunderstanding

"Buck." Eddie propped himself up on an elbow so he could look at Buck more squarely. "What on earth about this–" he gestured at himself, "–made you think I'd be ready for more?"

Buck felt his confidence begin to crack and forced himself to put some more distance between the two of them. Eddie was looking at him with confusion in his eyes, like he couldn't understand why Buck would ever think he'd want to be in a relationship with him.

He supposed it was his fault. It was always his fault for assuming that people who slept with him wanted anything more than his body.

He'd just really thought that Eddie was different.

"Sorry," he muttered, looking away.

"It's okay," Eddie said with a sigh and another quiet chuckle as he lay back down beside him. "Just… please. No more."

Buck squeezed his eyes shut and tried not to let the words cut him, but he was already bleeding. If he had known Eddie only wanted sex, no strings attached, he never would have agreed in the first place. He didn't do that anymore �� didn't Eddie know that?

He felt used, reduced to nothing more than a body, and the fact that it was Eddie who had done this to him made it all a thousand times worse. Eddie was his best friend, someone he trusted implicitly and wanted desperately to make a life with.

But Eddie didn't want him.

Sitting up, Buck swung his legs over the side of the bed and leaned down to collect his discarded clothes from the floor. Then he stood, pulling them on and telling himself not to cry until he was in his car. He knew from experience that the worst thing he could do right now was cry.

"Buck?" Eddie asked from the bed. Buck ignored him, doing up his belt. "Where are you going?"

"Home," Buck said curtly, tugging his shirt straight and then scooping up his jacket.

"What… right now?"

Eyes stinging, Buck walked to the door and grabbed the handle.

"Buck!" Eddie snapped, and he faltered.

Closing his eyes, his shoulders sagged in defeat. He didn't want to have this conversation. Please, don't make me have this conversation.

"Will you please tell me what's going on?" Eddie asked gently.

Unable to resist, Buck slowly turned around. His teeth were clenched as he fought against the tears which wanted to spill, and he could tell his face was red from all the emotions swirling through him. He was angry at himself for getting so worked up when Eddie was still just lying there with nothing but a curious frown on his face.

Rubbing harshly at his jaw, he said, "I can't do this."

"What?" Eddie asked, his frown deepening. "Why not?"

The complete lack of understanding on Eddie's face made him want to scream. Hands clenching into fists, he managed to say, "Because you don't want more."

Remarkably, Eddie still didn't appear to understand.

"So you're just gonna leave?" Eddie asked.

"Why exactly would I stay?"

Thinking about The Drop™ again. Long and weird post, sorry, with a thought experiment more than a real theory I guess. Wrote this at 3 am when I couldn't sleep xD

I'm not going to argue that Lestat's abuse toward Louis (and Claudia, but focusing on Louis in this) is OOC in general. In fact, I think it fits his character, his impulsiveness and works with the themes of "being a monster" and his abandonment issues triggering that behaviour (I'm not excusing his behaviour, just trying to explain it).

But

The Drop?

(CW for SA)

I know I know that Lestat even acknowledged it himself during the trial (well, the lestat from louis's retelling) and I'm not saying that Louis is lying that Lestat did abuse him to that extent. But the drop feels OOC for me. Sometimes I wonder if it's all a metaphor for another similar horrid thing Lestat might have done instead. Because there's this thing with him not possessing the cloud gift at that point in the books.

I have that thought that maybe... What if Lestat SA'd Louis? And Louis didn't feel safe to tell Daniel that after hearing how Daniel spoke about Claudia in that context? Who knows the books, knows that Lestat canonically SA'd someone. It would recontextualise a lot. The flying in S1E1 during lovemaking? A metaphor for part of the sex, maybe even subspace. Louis letting his rage/revenge at Lestat out through violent hate sex with *stabbing* of all things? Louis looks almost dissociated during sex in the "distracting Lestat so Claudia can plot" phase but not during kisses etc. Then there's the way Louis doms Armand later.

What if actual flying = something very intimate in the show (yes well I don't think it's far fetched to think Santiago would be an exhibitionist then). Armand having to fly up to fetch books for Louis. Armand's aerobic evening in the back of the theatre. Armand flying up the stairs before revealing his past to Louis. Armand descending from the bookcases in "no pain" after rashid left, but showing Daniel is all right (could be wrong with the order of events in that scene though).

Armand makes Daniel fly and crash on the ground in 1973 and afterwards Daniel has this extra haunted expression.

I'm probably overthinking everything. I don't think that's actually canon. I just like to analyse and theorise. It's crazy and far fetched and has plot holes but that tiny corner of my brain is saying "but what if it's not?"

If we were still on the internet of 2010 I'd say "thank you for reading all this, here's a cookie *gives cookie*"

for the tmnt 40th anniversary: 23 and 32!

\TwT/ !!! thank you much!

TMNT's 40th anniversary ask game!

23.) what is one of your favorite TMNT fics?

ough, i'm admittedly very, very bad at reading fanfic for a few reasons: 1) since i'm also a creator, i often have to decide if i want to use what free time i have creating or engaging with art made by others, and i often opt for the former; 2) i'm an extremely slow reader partially due to how i learned to read, because of this i'm usually pickier about where i put my reading time (if i schedule myself any); 3) i refuse to read fic if i'm not on my desktop with my firefox extension that lets me use the floaty comment box, because it brings me joy to leave lengthy, thorough comments. i love leaving the types of comments i'd like to receive, and my brain gets very cranky when i can't. all this to say, i haven't read a lot of tmnt fanfic since circling back to one of my childhood fandoms. ene i'm trying to be better about it because i very much believe in supporting community, i just... haven't quite gotten around to a rhythm that works for me yet, i guess. not for a lack of wanting, tho. however! i love In The Shelter of Each Other, by @hamstermastersamster; as well as Anger and Management, by @halogalopaghost; and I'll Be Ok!, by @joyfuladorable. just to name some! i also remember a fic from my childhood where raph was babysitting... someone's kid (might've been april's?) and he taught them that if something was an "ouch" that meant it could hurt you and you shouldn't touch it. so, the oven was an "ouch". i don't remember the title because i was, like, fourteen, but i remember that specific detail and loved it very much. shout out to that author. i've also got a few fics i'm reading/trying to keep up with that are still in progress, but i've barely scratched the surface on them because... again. i am slow. lD;; but i am also trying. bless those who're patient with me. i'm so, so sorry.

32.) what was the first thing you've made for TMNT?

i might have stuff from my high school years lying around here somewhere, but you'll have to pay me to post it. i wish i could say i was kidding, but college shot my relationship with my art in the foot. <xD i have a folder of stuff before 2018 that's referred to as "the otherworld" for a reason. we do not venture into that fog... silent hill... but! i'll share some of the first sketches i did in my circle-back. please tolerate the shit phone-photo quality; my phone is obsolete to the point several of my apps will literally no longer open due to incompatibility with the OS. i'll also share the first round of sketches i actually published, so you can see the private sketchbook testings verses me being like "i need to make myself put something out there, here it is".

here's the link to the above published post! really is wild how after i started drawing them more regularly, my own style quickly dug its little fangs in and never looked back. xD;;

Streamer!Honey Headcanons Pt.3

First Part Next Part

It’s about damn time I made part 3, and this is, once again, less headcanons and more just Guy interrupting Honey’s stream

Okay so, we’ve talked about how Honey’s fan base likes to theorize on their and Guy’s relationship. Some fans think they have mutual crushes on one another, some think they’re secretly dating, some think they’re just roommates.

Chat asks Honey questions about their love life all the time, and Honey has fun by always giving vague answers.

Even Guy has joined in on occasion.

Sorry

Honey smirks, and pulls off their headphones. They get out of their chair and open the door to the hallway.

They then sit back down in their chair, yell "GUUYY" (which has him stumbling over himself because they never yell for him like that), and wait.

Guy rushes to Honey, but stops short of entering the room when Honey puts their hand out, "no, no, don't come in, I'm still streaming."

Guy puts a hand over his heart and let's out a breath, "holy shit, Honey, I thought you were being murdered or something." Then he laughs that adorable laugh of his because he's so precious.

Honey can't suppress the chuckle that bubbles up in their throat, "no, I'm fine. Chat just wanted me to ask you something."

Honey spared a quick glance at their monitor, biting their lip to try and hide the devilish smirk that was forming across their features.

ITS HIM ITS HIM

Oh my god 🙊🙊🙊

🎶the best time to wear a striped sweaterrrrr🎶

Guy giggles, "what?"

Honey fails at their weak attempt to hide their smile, biting their tongue as a last ditch effort before giving way, "get out."

Guy laughs through his words, a more confused tone taking place as he repeats his last question, "what?"

Honey stands from their chair again, and leans against the open door. The way it opens inward perfectly covers Guy from view of the camera.

They lean in, a loving smile splaying their lips and lighting up their eyes as they grasp the collar of his shirt to pull him in.

Chat can't see how their faces are only inches apart, they can only hear how Guy let's out a sound of surprise.

Honey plants a chaste kiss on the corner of Guy's mouth and then loosens their grip on his collar in exchange for placing their hand flat on his chest.

Chat can only hear Honey repeat, "get out," when they gently shove Guy backwards so they can close the door again. Their face displays a cheeky grin as they stifle a soft laugh at the sound of a very flustered, and probably offended, Guy.

Then they sit back in their chair and turn their attention back to their stream.

WHAT THE ACTUALLY FRICK WAS THAT??

NOOOOOOOO

DONT GO BACK TO PLAYING UNDERTALE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED EXPLAIN YOURSELF RIGHT NOW

GUYS GUYS LOOK SOMEONE CLIPPED IT HE CALLED THEM HONEY 🥺🥺

"oh, shi-"

—

Honey has adjusted their streaming schedule to line up with Guy's work schedule. This way, he will interrupt them less.

It's a win win for the both of them, because when Guy gets home after a day at work, all he wants is love and affection which he cannot get if his honey is streaming.

But there are times when the stream goes on longer than expected, or Guy gets off early.

♡♡♡♡♡♡

Honey was playing Life is Strange when they heard the front door open. They paused for a moment, expecting to hear Guy's usual "Honey, I'm home" call to announce his presence.

But it didn't come.

They paused the game and lowered their headphones, confusion evident on their face as they turned in their chair slightly, listening to the sounds of Guy putting down his work bag and taking off his shoes.

When the noises stopped, Honey assumed Guy must've just had a long day. They decided they'd check on him after they wrapped up this stream.

A few minutes went by; Honey had nearly forgotten Guy was home, it was so quiet.

★someone donated $1★

HoneysHeaven: Honeeyyy :(

There he is.

The way he typed out their nickname and added a frowny face made them feel soft, and they practically had to physically restrain themself from going, "what, baby?"

Instead they said, "what is it, Guy?"

awwww

He's calling them Honey 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Who made our boy sad??

HoneysHeaven: I'm dyiiing :((

I want to kiss chloe so bad u have no idea

WHAT

OH NO 😰

SOMEONE CALL 911 🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑

NO GOD PLEASE TAKE ME INSTEAD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Honey left the room without a second thought, their feet leading them straight to where Guy had bundled himself up on the couch. The TV was on, playing the cartoon network channel for some reason, and the lights were off save for a table lamp.

Holding his phone in front of his face while he lay on his side, he turned to look at Honey when he heard their footsteps.

His hair was a mess, he had bags under his eyes, and his cheeks were flushed.

"Honeeyyy," he pouted, his voice coming out strained and scratchy.

Guy had come home sick.

They checked his temperature, got him a cold cloth, brought him medicine, and basically played nurse before finally returning to their stream.

They'd only been gone for 15 minutes.

WHAT DO WE DO WHAT DO WE DO

OH GOD THIS IS TERRIBLE

WE HAVE TO SAVE THEM THATS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO

EVERYONE CALM DOWN

WE GOTTA CALL THE NAVY

What is happening?

I CANT TAKE THIS THE STRESS IS TOO MUCH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ME TOO

🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁

WAIT EVERYONE THEYRE BACK

Honey gets back to find the chat in utter chaos, but they assure them that everything is fine. Guy is just dramatic.

Things went back to normal for about half an hour.

But then the door opened, and two hands appeared, just in view, flat on the floor.

Honey turns around to see this, "Guy, what are you doing?"

They only get a tired groan, that sounds more like a whine, in response.

Oh nooooo 🥺🥺

Our boy is sicky ☹️☹️☹️

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I'll get the rabies shot ready

Honey crouches in front of Guy, who is sprawled out face first on the floor. "Are you wearing my hoodie again?"

Another hum of discomfort. He really isn't feeling well.

They place their hand on his head and pet his hair, tilting their head slightly and speaking in a low voice, "what do you need, baby?"

Guy made "hmph" noise, and tapped his hands which were still stretched out in front of him.

Honey stood, and made their way back over to their computer.

Hope he gets better soon ❤️

Aw my goodness he's wearing their hoodie 😍😍

I'm sick too me and guy are twinsies fr

Are we just gonna ignore that th-

They ended the stream. They don't have time to do their regular sign off, they have a sick Guy to take care of.

[autumn-foxfire]

Oooh, are these the episodes where Shinichi almost gets caught by Gin in the locker? I think they are! I'm excited, that moment has such great HC potential!

Shinichi the moment he gets a hint of the BO: All care for his cover goes out the window and he gets reckless.

I'd say it's interesting that in a situation where the BO are involved, he isn't worried that Ran has accompanied them, when he won't even tell her his secret due to fearing the BO killing her, but I guess Gosho didn't think about that. No, wait, as I was writing this, Shinichi thought about it but he's quickly put any worries to the back of his head.

You know, Shinichi, if Kogoro and Ran were aware of your situation, they would be able to help you get the disk so much easier. Ran could use Shinichi's name to get it for him, saying the man might be related to a case he's investigating so he needs to check it. Just spitballing some ideas here for you, Shinichi.

How... how does Kogoro in these moments not realise that he is not the one solving the crimes T-T I know he's dumb and prideful at times but come on, he is smart enough to be a detective.

Shinichi using the victims dying message as a way to get the file he needs without raising suspicious, he's resourceful at least. And then once again Ran, in a very weird position in this series, is the one who hinders Shinichi.

Okay, I say it a lot but it's because I mean it, I love when we get to see Shinichi be rash and reckless, I love his flaws. He had to mentally talk himself down because he's got what he wants and now he just needs to leave but he can't do so without wrapping up what he had started even though he wants nothing more than to get away and follow the scent he's found. It's in these moments we see him be a teenage boy who just wants to return to his normal life so badly.

Then stop waiting, Ran. Stop waiting for a man you don't know will return and finally live your life. And when Shinichi comes back into it eventually, then you decide what you want to do.

And stop lying to yourself, Shinichi. You have changed, you aren't the boy she remembers, not anymore. You can't go through what you have without changing. The way you lie to her is the biggest proof that you have.

"Your always crying." She is, because Gosho doesn't know how to write her beyond crying love interest whose life revolves around a man and we hate it. Ran deserves better and I'll say it until I am blue in the face. It might seem like I complain about her writing more often than most but that's because hers is probably one of the worst in this series.

Shinichi, you shouldn't be running with such an important disk in your hand.

Shinichi's lack of interest in girls is so amusing. He's very gay, gay, homosexual, gay.

Oh, this episode introduces the soccer belt. You will become one of Shinichi's most feared weapons.

Agasa is much more fearful than Shinichi is XD

The dreaded coin locker. I can't wait!

My dog is trying to liveblog as well T-T

It's Shinichi's luck that he gets picked up by jewel thieves though. He must hate his life sometimes.

Shinichi: Can I go one moment without being involved in a crime?!

Life: No <3

Yamamura should not be a police officer. He's bragging about how he misused his gun...

Shinichi to the criminals: I'm sorry, I have bigger fish to fry than you two.

Imagine being shaded like that by a boy who looks like he's in grade school. I'd never live it down.

Shinichi really did not think this through. He's down two of his main weapons and he's going to confront criminals that have bested him multiple times.

Gin has got such a cool voice...

Gin helping his partner, how kind of him.

0219. A number that Shinichi is sure to never forget.

I LOVE THIS MOMENT SO MUCH. It's such a small one but it's such a good one to explore Shinichi developing trauma from almost being caught and killed. I did a small drabble on tumblr which involved him developing claustrophobia due to this, associating the small and suffocating spaces with almost being killed.

It's so great too because Shinichi resents Conan, he hates how his body has been altered and he can no longer live his previous life, and yet it's due to Conan that he is able to investigate the BO as well as he can, it's saved his life more than once.

Annnnd he's hiding the truth from Haibara T-T I know he said he would protect her but protection is not leaving them in ignorance. In fact, especially for Haibara, it puts them more in danger.

Feeling daring today - Haizaki for the character and ship bingo ;)

Your takes are much more interesting, so there may not be anything illuminating here but I tried. xD

*Non-sarcastically normal. Haizaki is a pretty neutral character when I think about him by myself, I just don't have that special connection to him.

*However I love him when you talk about him and I'm sure I would love him more if I just had an incentive to write about him. But I don't feel anything like that because you're already giving him justice. My brain doesn't really work unless I feel like I have something substantial to contribute, which I don't.

*Haizaki definitely still gets a lot of unjustified hate, because he was framed as a villain and people then interpreted his every action as coming from the worst place imaginable, while other characters' actions get understanding just because they can see those characters' sides but can't see Haizaki's since he wasn't written in a sympathetic way. On one hand, that's fair to me, if your fic needs a villain it makes sense to pick a character whose motivations were not discussed deeply, so you can turn him into as much of a villain as you want, because you have no need to think about that particular character so deeply. However, the rate at which this happens to Haizaki perfectly exemplifies how the same dynamic happens in real life, especially at schools. He has the outward characteristics of the person who is always the easiest to blame. Not that there isn't stuff to blame him for, it's just that when he gets blamed for more than his share, it becomes a vicious cycle. Not to say it would affect his likability to me even if he never grew less violent or got his shit together, because my like and dislike for fictional characters is not based on morality or whether or not I would like that character in real life. 😂 I didn't pay that much attention to him solely because I just overlooked his story as pretty been there done that. Any character depth he has is implied at best, because he's a side character. I would much rather see an actual depiction of the dynamics that get projected onto him. And you are doing that, so, I'm not complaining.

*I do think Haizaki is pretty silly, he's so macho but he's also kind of wishy-washy about it. Like, one minute he can be thundering on like any of the other macho characters but then his line for changing his mind and going like "you know what, not worth it, actually" is much lower. And somehow he gets depicted as pathetic for that, even though it may actually just be common sense and self-preservation.

*Honestly I need to remind myself that Haizaki exists, sometimes. I'm sorry. He just wasn't that compelling to me initially. I didn't demonise him (I'd like to think that I don't demonise anyone) I just wasn't interested enough. I knew there were reasons he acts the way he does but I didn't make actual effort to find out. You've done some good to me, reminding me that my perception is more limited than I would like, because I tend to pride myself for considering everyone's viewpoints. (Not 100% possible, but I try.)

*Well you said it, Haizadick is not an inaccurate term, no matter what way you look at it.

I didn't ship anyone with Haizaki because I didn't think about his life much before talking to you, so...

*Congrats, your Haizaki and his relationships are now basically canon to me. : D

*I just put that second tier text there because I imagine it's where the relationships that last a bit longer would go, and I think Haizaki just has many short relationships before maybe ending up with his end game.

*I mean I assume he has had fun short relationships with many girls.

*And probably many one-night stands.

*I literally just got it in my head that maybe he experimented with a guy once, while I was making this. He seems like a curious type even though I'm kind of assuming he's straight.

*Yeah, I theoretically get why these are ships but no I don't really get it, I would be lying if I said I truly deeply understood it.

I know my shipping tiers are a mix of "I actually root for it" and "I just sort of think it would happen" but that's what you get from me. : D

[1unpaid-intern]

Ok so I'm kinda new to tumblr, but I just can't get this fanfic idea out of my head. So since I'll probably never write this/ lose motivation half way through, I might as well share it.

Soooo I've come across a really good ghost/calamity xie lian AU fic (Dark Sword, White Flower by Luna04 on ao3 if anyone's interested) and I've come up with my own take on that premise, because it's just so intriguing.

(English is not my first language, so sorry for any mistakes)

Also spoilers for tgcf (obviously)!

Almost all fics I've read make it so Xie Lian dies in the coffin Lang Qianqiu put him in, but even though that'd be pretty cruel (and would therefore make sense in universe xD) I just don't buy it. Jun Wu specifically wanted to make life as painfull as possible for him both psycologically and physically. Xie Lian getting stabed through the heart for decades would be a dream come true, so he definetly wouldn't let him die. Because if you ask me, he definetly knew. As white no-face he was stalking XL constantly and you're telling me he just stopped after his second banishment? XL was still suffering, since his luck got sealed away, so you bet that he's been watching him day after day while eating popcorn and going like: serves you right little sh*t (because we all know he's petty like that).

Instead I'd have XL die trying to stop the human face disease from raining down on Yong'an. In the original Wu Ming sacrifices himself, but what if no-face stops him by scattering his soul. XL then makes the ultimate sacrifice and even though all those resentfull spirits should kill him no matter what, in order to make it a little bit more poetic let's say that right before he gets hit, XL ascends for the second time since he regained his morals and tries to make up for it. (In the process he also breaks his shakle. And I know that you're supposed to also be imortal as a god, but Shi Wudu got killed by having his head ripped off and I just have this head canon that XL would be fine after that because JW just won't let him die.)

Now the "problem" that arises with this premis instead of the coffin-death is that JW absolutly knows about XLs death. If he lets the rest of heaven know that, it'd eventually reach Hua Cheng. Aaand oh booooyyyy. If he found out that his god not only died, but none of the other gods, not even the emperor himself, prevented it by helping him, the temples of those 33 gods wouldn't be the only thing on fire. Because think about it, the reason HC keeps on living is XL, but if he thinks he's gone, then the only thing that'd keep him going is revenge. HCs end goal would then be to become strong enough to even kill JW.

But I can also see this playing out differently. We know JW wants XL to follow in his foot steps and become a calamity, therefore needing to become a ghost (as he says when they're both trapped in the Kiln). So he'd definetly consider the posibility of XL becoming a ghost. Considering the guy has a sword for everything (looking at you virginity detecting sword) I could imagine that he also has one that can tell if somebody's soul is still wandering around even though they're dead. Obviously JW would want to find him and turn him into a calamity. But if he a) tells the other gods that XL is a ghost then atleast Feng Xin and Mu Qing would also be looking for him or b) only tells them that he died then somebody might get the idea to use the aforementioned sword and leading us back to a). So the most logical thing would be for JW to just lie about XL getting banished a second time (similar to how it originally went down).

While I like both scenarios, I'm kinda leaning towards the second one with JW lying, because as soon as XL ascendes for the third time he's gonna be hella confused why nobody is freaking out about him showing up in heaven, followed up by him becoming suspicious of JW.

One thing I've been thinking about a lot was what's special about XL as a ghost king, what differentiates him from the others. HC got his red robs, silver jewelry, blood rain, wraith butterflies, E-Ming and power over luck. He Xuan has his black robes, great acting skills (seriously give this man an oscar), never ending hunger, skeletton fish and power over the seas. Qi Rong (while only having the title of a calamity and not actually being a ghost king) has his green robes, green fire locks and his habit of trying to imitate the other calamities (e.g. hanging corpses & eating people). Bai Wuxiang has his simple white burial robs, the iconic half-crying half-smiling mask, a spirit calling cloth flag, Fangxin aka Zhu Xin, manipulation and the power of the human face disease. Things I've seen a lot in other fics and that I completly agree on are: XL can turn his nails into long claws (similar to Lady Dimitrescu I'd imagine), he doesn't want to be found so he shape shifts a lot and he helps out the common people, especially children and mothers (since trying to help others and making up for his past mistakes is basically all that keeps him going). While these characteristics are great, they aren't enough to make him stand out yet. One idea I'm really proud of is to make XL a puppet master. Because correct me if I'm wrong, but the only "ghost typs" we ever were introduced to were sentient weapons, possed objects, humanoid ghosts, ghost animals, water ghouls and puppet masters. And just imagine XL using threads and puppets to fight in addition to Ruoye. Like, imagine him fighting similar to Sasori from Naruto, the Spider Demons from Demon Slayer or ErrorSans from the Undertale AUs. I also think he should stick with the burial cloths he was wearing as white no-face (maybe with some blood on them to make it more creepy) but obviously adding his signitur bambu hat with some flowy long vails.

I wouldn't change to much about he whole XL posing as the Yong'an goushi backstory. I would only have it so Lang Qianqiu finds out that his goushi was actually a ghost king and XL fleeing so he isn't stuck in a coffin for decades. That way when LQQ finds out about XL being his goushi, it also serves as the big reveal.

I'm not so sure what to do with the Banyue kingdom backstory though. I would like for XL to take Ban Yue as his little adoptive daughter, but if he went back after the kingdom was destroyed, then woudn't he take care of Kemo and the other ghost soliders right there? That would lead to Little Pei never luring people in, therefore erasing the entire Banyue arc and I don't know how to feel about that. Yes, not much would change, were it to play out, but that's the first time XL meets the "earth" and wind master. Also JW led them to Banyue pass (and also to the ghost bride) in order to damage Pei Mings reputation, so he'd lose believers and therefore would be easier to beat later on and that's kinda important. Not to forget he used a puppet for that and with XL as a puppet master he'd definetly be able to get more info out of it, leading to raising his suspicions again.

Aaaaand that are all the ideas I have so far, also my fingers hurt from typing.

Maybe I'll continue this some day, since I probably won't stop obsessing over this AU any time soon. (Also if you know similar fics please let me know, I feel so starved rn)

Chapter 2 - The BMW Devil

Our next story features a sisterly pair. Well, I guess not anymore. Captured by a serial rapist of all things, poor girl; they don't do on screen deaths of the woman, but every first crime I'll now assume they're dead-on arrival.

Aside from calling the kidnapping of a high school girl a waste (because she isn't old enough? xD), he decides its best to meet their client at a... host club? I'm not immediately familiar with Kabuki Cho style places but it looks like a strip/night club to me. Not surprised they know him by name!

You did go. No one to blame but yourself here, even if your introduction is less than professional.

Oh yes, the famed XYZ cocktail! Although, I feel like if we were a little more serious you could've explained the meaning and given her a little faith. This man is all theatrics. If we're going off of last time, the looking down her shirt, pulling her bra open, groping of her thigh and less than appropriate flirting will save her 190,000 yen.

Yeah so, like last time even though he knows the bar is the perfect place to find information, there's some random 3rd party crook there to prove how competent he is. Which, okay, this kind of stuff probably happens a lot because Shinjuku is the closest thing to Detroit I can think of, but dude. "Imagine if Ryo wasn't here," said everyone in the district.

So, understandably, the guy sees Ryo and is like, well well well Mr. GUN user. Are you bold enough to shoot me in front of all these people knowing the bullet we go right through me, fufu. Very valid argument that I hadn't considered. Human flesh is not dense enough to stop a large caliber bullet, but Ryo did have some fancy slow bullet last chapter. Take that petty criminal-

Lady do not fall in love with this man. Do not. I hope it hurts more than I think it does.

You know what's on his mind, Makimura. And it's as I said with a twist! He did all that to bring the killer to light. If I were the killer I'd stay as far away from that place as possible, but then again, to be a serial rapist who kidnaps in broad daylight you've lost all rational thought.

So, I assume they live in a dingy apartment because that's the norm for most hitmen... not really but you can tell who decides to use their wealth and who doesn't. I did not expect him to have multiple stories at his disposal. The woman gets to sleep there too to prevent her from being attacked? Great! Now prepare to get no sleep while this man tries to assault you at- oh, sorry.

His lady friend got to you first. His lying lady friend at that. You knew that wasn't Ryo. And that brings up an interesting point(s) because right after, he says sends her home to her own room. Why not keep her around if you're going to continuously flirt with your client anyway to make sure she knows your perviness is directed to someone to reciprocates? And, more importantly, she lives there?! Is she another client or a woman from the bar?!

First mokkori! I think more people would benefit from this kind of separation. I'm not sure if I could handle it, but if I'm looking for less than ethical means of avenging my sibling or lover or whoever, I'd also take the bad with the good. At least he's decent looking.

The guy does show up eventually, which hurray for us. Not sure how he went all the way to Ryo's room without bumping into his other tenant or tenants probably, but manga magic it is! The curtain effectively saves the woman, but the guy absolutely dumps bullets into Ryo's sleeping body, allegedly. We all know it's not him, but where is he?

Smart. No one knows what the guy is up to at night; an extra layer of mystery to beef up the appeal! Also, what do you mean wake you all up, it's still the middle of the night!

He was under the bed. I have to wonder what he was thinking the whole time between her silently asking for him to join her after all and the cockiness of the killer. Dude was probably giggling his ass off. And I guess he has a point if he's hiding then he has no way to look at the killer's face... that certainly didn't have the potential to backfire.

I do admire a sense of justice! He'll make those bastards pay for the death of those 5 girls, while giving the sister peace of mind. Warms my heart.

Love me some "you mess with the wrong motherfucker" shenanigans.

And

you

definitely

did

Ouch.

I love him. No matter the weapon he's an excellent marksman, his explanations are fun to reach and his method, at least here, is noble. Shooting a guy with arrows that if he removes them will permanently damage his vital organs and deep tissue, all to do even a small fraction of the trauma he's undoubtedly made the other 5 (almost 6) girls go through in their last moments. Saeba Ryo , you angel.

Kaboom! Good riddance.

Uhuh....

Overall review

The case story was more put together, the art style is still breath taking and the everyone's reasonings are sound. I came out of here with a lot of questions that are probably too specific to be answered but that's what headcanons are for!

I've already warmed up to his character here, so anything past this point will hopefully be a bonus. So far Ryo is painfully dramatic, but the kind where I can't fault him because plot reasons say all of his antics are for the good of the client. We also got to see more of his versatility as a professional sweeper too!

Until next time!

Hi! For the ask game; can you do 7, 8, and 21 for Micolash? (Also, love your art and The Cruellest of All fic, I slept at like 6 am reading it the other day XD)

Hi, thank you for asking!! :D (and also what THANK YOU I adore your art as well 😳 and sorry that the silly fic kept you awake at impossible hours LMAO)

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

So many things, actually!

I think I just love it when writers and artists see past the "madman" side of him we see in canon and are willing to portray him as an actual human being with emotions, issues etc. He is a pretty awful guy if we judge him based on the game alone, but having varied interpretations about his reasons, background etc. is really one thing I like about this fandom!

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

When I dislike something I generally don't engage with it, so it's difficult to say I despise it... I haven't come across anything I hate anyway since I avoid content I know I won't like.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

Oof this one's tough, too many favorite things... I'd say describing his little mannerisms is one of them. Friends have told me I'm good at this and it's really enjoyable to add little quirks and details to his overall personality.

What I don't like: he takes too much space in my brain so I don't have room for other characters. 😩 (I'm lying I like it)

The light behind your eyes

Song: The Light Behind Your Eyes - My chemical romance

Warnings: Might be sad

A/N: Sorry, this writing is very bad but I really wanted to share. Please  listing the song while reading. Will make it better, I promise xD

-----------------------------------------------

She was as nervous as if it was her first performance in front of a big crowd.

To be fair, it's been quite a while since her last appearance on a stage.

She remembered the day as crystal clear as it has just happened yesterday and not a year ago. Just this single thought made her heart (ache) in the most painful way.

So long to all my friends

Every one of them met tragic ends

With every passing day

I'd be lying if I didn't say

That I miss them all tonight

And if they only knew what, I would say

"Y/N" Someone called and kept her from sinking deeper in those unpleasant memories.

Anya, her assistant, approached. A bright smile lit up her face, which disappeared within seconds. Of course, she noticed the look inside Y/N eyes. That look that appeared by the thought of him only.

If I could be with you tonight

I would sing you to sleep

Never let them take the light behind your eyes

One day, I'll lose this fight

As we fade in the dark

Just remember you will always burn as bright

Anya placed her hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently. "Y/N, remember: You've got this! Now, make them regret every single harsh word they ever said about you!" With that said, she pushed her carefully towards the stage. "Make them speechless!"

Be strong and hold my hand

Time, it comes for us, you'll understand

We'll say goodbye today

And I'm sorry how it ends this way

If you promise not to cry

Then I'll tell you just what I would say

And that's what she did. It was terrifying yet exciting to be back. Good thing the light was so bright, she couldn't see who exactly was her audience.

Since this event was an award ceremony, some very famous people, probably. She didn't care.

If I could be with you tonight

I would sing you to sleep

Never let them take the light behind your eyes

Adrenaline rushed through her veins, making her regret the decision to perform her newest and most personal song here tonight. But it was too late anyway. She took a deep breath.

Little did she know, some very familiar brown eyes were watching her in shock. Those brown eyes she got lost in 1000 times before.

I'll fail and lose this fight

Never fade in the dark

Just remember you will always burn as bright

Music began to play. Firmly, her hand gripped the guitars' neck as she strummed the first accords. Her clear but yet so broken voice filled the air, already making some eyes wet.

The light behind your eyes

The light behind your

Toms gaze was fixed on her. It hit him to see her, even after all this time. She was the one that left him behind without a single word. This was the best moment to be mad at her behavior, but still… he couldn't. Longing filled his heart. All he wanted was her at this moment.

He wanted to understand.

Sometimes we must grow stronger

And you can't be stronger when I'm gone

At the same time, he did already. Sort of. This song wasn't about something in the life, he was no longer a part of. It was about him, about her, about them. About what they were, what they could have been but never would be again.

When I'm here, no longer

You must be stronger and

Still. She was the one who cut him out of her life. Who left a wound in his heart that never seemed to heal completely, but why hadn't he seen? Why didn't she ask for his help instead of pushing him away?

If I could be with you tonight

I would sing you to sleep

Never let them take the light behind your eyes

I failed and lost this fight

Never fade in the dark

Just remember you will always burn as bright

Finishing the last word of the song, she opened her eyes. They met his. A single tear ran down her cheek. She couldn't look away. Neither could he, seeking for that warm light that once sparkled in them. It was gone.

The light behind your eyes

Hi, I'm new here (not only to this story but to the fandom in general) and I gotta applaud you on how great this Dad!Jake story is. I literally binged read all 5 chapters this morning (it almost made me late for work 🙃) and couldn't put it down until I was FINISHED, it's just so good.

The perspective of the daughter reader is a great pov to be placed in as being the child of Jake and Neytiri and how growing up shortly before the events of TWOW was for them. Their personality feels like a combination of both parents, brave and headstrong while also being stubborn and feisty. Yeah, that's their kid alright XD.

The way you wrote Jake and the inner and outer turmoil he was going through when trying to raise his kids was just...*chef's kiss* it was so good. I love the expansion on it is easy but also fairly difficult for him to deal with emotions when treating his children as his kids and not part of a squadron due to his background on being a marine and being brought back into war when the humans return, something the movie touched upon a bit but didn't delve into as much as I hoped it would since they focused more on the kids.

I can't wait to see what else you have planned out for us to read! Great work!

niyana-the-ambiguous-mobian asked: Also, I forgot to add this to my last ask. I cannot wait to see the furious, parental rage that will come in the next chapter. It was so chilling to watch in the film so I KNOW it's going to be hyped as hell reading it here

Hello Niyana! Welcome to the avatar fandom, I hope you're having a blast reading fanfiction bc they're so good here!

I want you to know I'm so sorry you were almost late to work bc of this fic but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me kinda happy SAHSDGSH Baffles me every time I hear people think this fic is THAT good 😭

I'm happy the perspectives and characterization of the reader made sense along with Jake's! You're the first one to say sister!reader has Neytiri in her too, that was interesting to hear omg

And you're so right! I also feel like since there were like. 6 more new focus-characters they neglected Jake and Neytiri a lot. I hated not seeing Neytiri more, because Jake and the children were more open to adapt, while my girl was obviously having the hardest time leaving her home permanently. I still dont know what she was doing in Awa'atlu, we didn't see her in the film at all. She had to be so lonely dude, especially after Ronal told her that maybe Eywa has abandoned them. I love TWOW but it should have been a TV show instead of a movie in my opinion. So much going on yet not enough time. We would have seen Jake and her side more if that was the case.

But yeah, thank you so much! I hope I can live up to the hype HSHSJH

[gayday]

Alright, there's a trolley about to run over 3 people tied to the tracks but you can switch a lever to make the trolley move to a different track where there is one person tied. Tell me how you and your OCs would answer this and why

Me personally? theoretically id switch it, but cuz yknow i donttt do well under pressure and the best i could do is panic :3 realistically I'd likely just freeze & do nothig id be like HOW DO I WOPRK A TRAIN LEVER THING WHAT IF I BREAK IT mods help hep DDDD: dont get tied to train tracks near me you will be dying

oc time!

Trevor: I'd switch it? Duh (in head: how heavy is a trainn lever omg how much time do i have whgat is the situation who r these ppl who tied them there what am i douing there what if i get blamed for tying them up and arrested?? why are they tied unevenly to the tracks like why not put them all on one track... what kind of hypothetical hell have i been placed in.)

Alistair: Fuck it, I'm not moving it, not my problem. (in his head hes going like ':((( but i dont want 2 hurt anyone' cuz hes basically incapable of being sincere out loud lol)

Kenny: XD id kill them all >:3c mwahahahaha

David: (Goes on long long autistic monologue about the trolley problem and ethics in general, never addresses the question and forgets what he was talking about by the end)

Jasper: (Tries to make a case but just ends up a stammering mess and panics cuz he doesn't wanna be wrong, says sorry like 50 times)

Teo: Are you like a cop or what? Go away, weirdo.

Ashley: Ahhh so scary I don't wanna be groceryies!!! (she is thinking of this kind of trolley)

Lena: SCAREY, WOULD NOT GO NEAR IT, SORRY UR DYING !!! (has a phobia of large machinery)

Zhen: Of course I'd switch it, I'm a monster not a monster. (lying, he thinks it would be kinda fun and cool to watch the 3 people get run over)

Yasha: *Heard the word trolley and got so hard he got nauseous* I think I hauve covid

Felix: Switch it, I don't really have that guilt anymore I've seen way too many people die, but obviously less people dying is good (Lie, he would go home and cry no matter what he chose)

Ethan: Can I jump in front of the trolley too? I don't think I'd stop it but thats a cool way to die.

Ori: But... but... not... real? No trolley... no understand and... no want kill...

Killian: (visibly high) ...what?

Destery: I think I'd just turn the lever back and forth as fast as I could, and like whatever happens happens

Kye: ... yea I don't think I can do anything about this situation (Has 0 working arms)

Dalton: I uh... how would I know... which way is the right one... (Is blind)

DS9 4x22 To The Death thoughts (I’m re-watching, so beware spoilers for future episodes!) [20 Aug ‘23]

I really like the frequency of references to off-screen Breen - it helps make them feel like a real part of the universe even without having been seen much.

"Every night I'd tuck in my son Ahjess, and two hours later he'd crawl into bed with me." Love me a random Dax fact

"What makes you such an expert on children?" "First in my class in pediatric medicine." You dolt, Julian XD Honestly, I'm surprised this has never come up before though!

"Just because Worf lives on the Defiant full time doesn't give him proprietary rights in the mess hall." Worf v Julian let's gooo

Aw, Julian moved, I wanted to see what Worf would do XD

Quark being all worried about Rom! Bless ♥

I adore the way Julian gets straight to work in an emergency -- and his "that includes you" to Kira <3

"Omet'iklan, control your men. These people saved our lives." Is this the first time we've met Weyoun? (It is.) It's so characteristic of him to care most about his own life.

"Your psychographic profile is required reading" - love that for Sisko, honestly. He's so good at thwarting them that he's A Known Threat

"What would you say if I offered to make you absolute ruler of the Federation?" Weyoun, surely if you read his psychographic profile, you'd know power doesn't interest him?

Ah, there we go! "I'd say your psychographic profile of me isn't as good as you think." Classic Sisko deadpan, we stan 😂

Weyoun Vs Sisko is fantastic

"There's a lot of things about this mission that bother me, but lying to the Jem'Hadar is not on top of my list." You say it, Miles!

I always kind of liked the Jem'Hadar, they're only messed up because they've been made to be, and they stick so unwaveringly to what they think is good.

"I'm holding you personally responsible for the actions of your men." "That's as it should be." Ace, loving this!

"As far as I'm concerned, on this mission, I'm the First." Oh, I ADORE Sisko. (And I'm so glad the writers didn't go down the route of calling them Alpha etc. I can see that having easily happened...) [they do later, don't they XD]

Worf is STILL so bad at ignoring people questioning his will to fight/his Klingon honour???? You don't need to prove a thing, but you really need to get a handle on this weakness, dude!

Somehow I genuinely didn't realise this was a practice until the lights went on! Great stuff

"You fool. My men and I, we know all about the gateway." Again, honestly great respect for the Jem'Hadar. Maybe because the Vorta are so awful 😅

Weyoun's sulky huff!

"I would have guessed at least fifteen." Aw, he looks so pleased at being thought of as that old!

"How old are you?" Hehe. I can only imagine his awe when she tells him...

"I stopped counting at 300." "You don't look it." Amazing.

"What is the point of doing battle if you cannot enjoy the fruits of victory?" "You mean sleep?" "No, I mean spending looking nights singing songs of your deeds." I do like his point

"And good women." Jadzia's definitely flirting. And also *knows* how good the women are with that knowing look.

Omet'iklan must hate the way Weyoun acts so dismissive and bored of the ketracel white ritual.

Okay I can appreciate Worf acting in response to Miles being touched... but also he needs to back the fuck up.

"So if I order you to leave me alone you will?" Odo is already So Done with Weyoun. And I am Here For It.

"Are you ready to go home?" "No, but I am ready to end this conversation." Odo yes XD

Odo being so uncomfortable about the Vorta/Jem'Hadar view of him will always be a thing I enjoy watching. Sorry, Odo.

Miles recording so many messages for Keiko and Molly - I don't think we get to see him like this so often and it's lovely. Not quite sure of the words in looking for, willingly vulnerable, maybe?

"You record these too?" "Doesn't everyone." My heart my heart my heart! I so want to know who everyone writes theirs to.

"I didn't know that was public knowledge." "You told Commander Dax." Honestly, Sisko, surely you know by now telling Dax something means telling everyone XD

"I already want you to know if somehow he does carry out his threat, he will not live to boast about it." "That's... very reassuring, Mr Worf." Sisko very much doing a 'what the hell do I say to that?!'face XD

"I am Chef Miles Edward O'Brien. I'm very much alive and I intend it to stay that way." I love him. That was a great mimic.

"Don't worry, you'll make honoured elder yet." JADZIA! Oh I really love this little moment!

The gate graphics are so TOS portal in City On The Edge Of Forever / All Our Yesterdays and I love it

"If you have to ask, you'll never understand." I like the Sisko-ness of it, but I also don't like writing off the Jem'Hadar as incapable of growth and learning.

*Shoots Weyoun* oh, fantastic!

"I think there's been enough killing for one day." Yes, I DO LIKE the Jem'Hadar

Love it when our guys win the Jem'Hadar's respect, despite still being viewed as enemies.

Hi, Lys! I had a very strange but cute dream a few days ago. So, I was alive in my dream, but I was in the afterlife. It was a hospital I was in and it contained all the souls who passed. My dad was there (he passed 2 years ago 😔) and he and I were talking. He said he was married to the woman thst murdered him xD (she did irl). He showed me pictures of their vacation together. After that, a nurse comes in and asks me if there's anyone I'd like to see who also passed away. I thought for a bit and listed my pets (they passed irl too). Then it hit me, I wanted to see the celebrity who I loved the most (he also passed a few years ago irl). After I told the nurse, a second passes and there he was... my favorite celebrity. He looked so happy to see me. I was so happy and was hiding behind my dad lol. My fav celebrity (we'll call him J), said he would love to take a photo of me in this form. Meaning that I was a living person visiting those who passed on. God, I was so happy. We talked a little bit (barely lol) and I woke up. What do you think this means? Especially the marriage between my dad and his murderer? Thank you!!!

Hello my dear First of all, I'm very sorry about your loss. My deepest condolences. Second: "He said he was married to the woman thst murdered him xD (she did irl)." like... you mean she also murdered him or they were married irl?!

Anyway... I think this dream wanted to kinda comfort you but also show you that you may be feeling a bit disconnected from reality atm or that you're wishing to escape reality as it may be tough (ofc especially after what you've been through); you may feel lonely, sad or even neglected.. or you're neglecting something in your life (an emotion in particular). You may still need to process your loss, to grieve it properly (maybe all of them: your father's departure may have triggered your other losses): and it's normal, such events do require lot of time, work and patience to heal, and two years may not be enough to do it all especially if you're alone in the process and don't know what to do. And even more if there's a history of unhealed losses in your life. You're in need of someone or something to comfort you and care about you, show you love (as a nurse), and that's also why you met your deceased pets and fav celebrity: so that they could give you support and make you feel better. You're probably still stuck in the past and cannot leave it yet (for obvious reasons, I'd say). But you are being guided to heal and take care of you. Honestly from what I am getting, the sentence in which your father says that his wife killed him was a sign for you somehow. I think he wanted to communicate with you and tell you to take care of you and start seeing the past under a different and more positive light and... try to heal and be happy.

Ofc I may be all wrong: if you think you actually went to the afterlife to meet them all, I'm nobody to say it's not so. You know it better what is going on inside of you... just take good care of you and really, ask for help dear.

All the best<3
