“Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.”

Cassius had lived long enough that his idealism had been tempered by circumstance and necessity both. And that necessity, too many times, had not been necessary at all, nor a good thing. Too much had been justified that way, even if these days Cassius was far prouder of his current path.
Would another fifty years change his perspective again?
And so his gaze darkened, as he listened to Maru's words, as he glanced at the warrior bearing a Primal.
"We keep finding ourselves before harsh choices." He sighed, in the end. "But too much can be reasoned in the heat of the moment. Try not to lose yourself in what you have to do, my friend. And remember that you have a choice, even in the darkest of times."
It had taken him far too long to learn it, and while the advice might be unwanted, Cassius nevertheless wished someone had been there to give it to him, in his past.
" And remember that you, as a person, matter as well. We are more than weapons." He added, soft and wry. "Despite what others might want us to be."
He was not unaware of the irony, coming from the former soldier now bonded to a Voidsent.
Joe Biden, coherently and normally: I have three issues to speak about. First, the NATO conference went well. Second, the economy is back on track and inflation is down. Third, my proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza is moving forward. Any questions?
I live for rare-pairs. And I'm pretty sure you've noticed this (?)
Now, in all seriousness... I love rare-pairs. What matters for me in a ship is the dynamics, the drama, the situations. And with enough building, most ships are possible.
There are some ships that would be out of my comfort zone, yes, but that's just personal preferences. So, hit me with all your rare pairs, because while I do not focus on shipping, I do like it.
❤️ or👌 for both Evan and Amara. Tosses my canons at you too while I'm at it with however you'd like them

I've been eyeing your muses and I'd definitely see platonic relationships with them, particularly given how Evan, Amara and Cassius were mercenaries and that could give us a good background reason for them to have met and worked together, for example.
I'd like to see how they mesh before saying yes to a romantic relationship, but everything can be plotted and my interest (and Cassius') is piqued.
Regarding your canons, throw them at me (or I'll throw Cassius at them), but Cassius adventuring with Ardbert or discussing science with Y'shtola could be interesting, and I'm always down for any of my muses talking to Venat (/o.o)/
When I was like 15 I dated this guy named Wes and we would roleplay Soriel so then when we broke up it made me have a vendetta against the ship for a few years. You made me like them again though so thanks. Also I'm a lesbian now.
Among the other things that seem to pop out of nowhere, I hear that Harris is apparently "very pro-cop" as a reason why we shouldn't vote for her. I would like some clarification about that and also maybe reasons why we should be voting for her, just for the naysayers.
The Kamala cop thing comes from her jobs as San Francisco District Attorney and California Attorney General, and the fact that Kamala and Cop have a kind of ring to them.
the fact that Harris had worked on enforcing the law was used against her in the height of "Defund the Police" but ultimately was pretty unfair, just quickly I found an article from a public defender about Harris progressive record to be short as both DA and AG she fought to scale back incarceration, she refused to seek the death penalty, she wouldn't prosecute marijuana possession cases (back in 2004), as DA along with then Mayor of San Fran Gavin Newsom she took part in the city's short lived gay marriage moment in 2004
here she is in 2004 marrying a nice Lesbian couple, over 10 years before gay marriage would be legal nation wide and 8 years before President Obama announced her supported it.
Harris put a particular stress on prosecuting sex criminals, rapists and human traffickers, and well
