Poor evil CP, left all alone in the ruins of his engagement.

He looks so defeated he just walks away

But his faaaaaaace when she tells him she loves him and chooses him over his bro!!! His faaaaace!

Baron is acting his entire heart out and his partner is I I I I I I I

Her acting is so terrible actually that I have NO idea if she means it, or if Jinghe convinced her to be a mole or what. For all I know she decided to be a cult leader in the woods and is planning her itinerary.

Hils Watches Love Tractor - Ep 6

Oh, I kind of assumed we'd jump back in where the last episode ended. But Ye Chan is sad. Did Seon Yul leave???

This poor sweet boy

Ah, NOW we're at the point where the last episode ended. Aww Ye Chen was on his way to take Seon Yul some nice corn

I don't even like this guy but this breakup scene is still kind of sad

THE DOGGO IS BACK! Now it's happy again!

Oh my god his little farming hat

Oh no the arms are back. Help.

Seon Yul is enjoying the arms too

Gosh he's so cute. But also arm, and shoulders, and neck. Help.

Excellent! Also an environmentally friendly farm

Haha! I am not sure that theft makes things taste better. Also, laughing at him stealing fruit from a neighbour's farm to help him woo his potential boyfriend

Aww the fresh air, sunshine and stolen fruit is helping him relax enough to rest and now he's pretending to play piano. He's remembering how to live again.

God if you opened your eyes and saw this face and hands shielding you from the sun while you napped wouldn't you just fall in love immediately

I love that all the way through this he always calls Seon Yul 'Chief Baek's grandson'. I'm not even sure he knows Seon Yul's name

I love that he was very firm on 'if the boy you like is seeing someone you back the fuck off and leave him alone' but as soon as he found out Seon Yul broke up with his boyfriend he goes straight into wingman mode

I mean that is definitely true

There's still two episodes left this is definitely a dream

Ehehe! I knew it.

Oh no he can't even look at Seon Yul now. His little faaaaace!

Ah, there's a bit of a situation going on I see

Poor Seon Yul is so confused

Arms. Help.

Aww yay he finally used his words! I'm a bit worried that there's still two episodes to go though. Is there going to be some angst first?

WWR

This one’s gonna be short because reasons. (As in there was a severe lack of anything ellick and the finale is in less than SEVEN HOURS AND I’M STILL NOT RECOVERED FROM MY WEEK LONG PANIC SPIRAL)

Ok so more of like general analysis instead of a scene by scene breakdown because they had all of one (1) scene by themselves and it was in the hospital talking to Knight so that doesn’t even really count. But basically they’re so *careful* around each other this episode. They toned down the overt flirting, the lack of personal space, calling each other’s names every five seconds. Nick didn’t totally hang out around Ellie’s desk but that didn’t completely stop him from gravitating towards her- still faced her when leaning on Gibbs’ desk, standing next to each other at the funeral, etc. (I’m gonna get to the one juicy part, The Look, in a second)

I honestly think this seemingly step back could be from one of two things since we have to guess what came of The Talk™️ since these writers love to shit on us. First, it could be what that article *claims* happened- that Ellie seemed to reject Nick and so they’ve retreated slightly to themselves. I refuse to believe this until I hear it from her lips. I just don’t see her character going that direction buuuuut I guess we’ll see. What I *think* happened and is more accurate of this so-called “rejection” is they realized that they both care deeply for each other, happened at the jail cell. BUT they both are extremely unsure of where to go from there and how. How do they make it work with their baggage they both have, how do they make it work with the nature of their jobs, how do they make it work with Gibbs’ rules. So they seemingly retreat from each other in this episode to bring the heat off of them. I mean last ep literally everyone was calling them out for their ✨thing✨ and while yes they talked it out, they still don’t have an answer per se. SO they consciously cool their jets in the workplace and vow to keep talking about it outside of work to figure out what they’ll become.

Also would explain a couple things: first being The Look after Knight states they wouldn’t be crying on their couch if something happened to one of them. Because DUH. Lemme get my list of past episodes to prove this point, brb. Just them both immediately thinking of the other and the intensity with which they do, I mean oof. Think about it- they’ve both had extremely close calls, and those make you live harder right? They make you go swan and definitely not cry on the couch. They make you realize you’ve fallen in love with your partner. They make you realize you’d truly break if the other was gone. A part of you ripped out- a gaping hole where your heart was. So yeah, when it’s brought up in the middle of the bullpen and yeah you’re trying to play it cool, it doesn’t matter. Your mind immediately rushes to worst case scenario- envisioning the other blown up because that’s what happened to the REACT team and GUESS WHO’S HAD SOME BOMB THREATS RECENTLY? ANY TAKERS? OH RIGHT, Y’ALL. And you realize that shit the worst case scenario would absolutely ruin me, this is love love and fuck we need to figure out what we’re doing. If we said we could just be friends or we said we could take it slow or we said we could figure it out in time, or we said we could hide it…fuck that, it ain’t gonna work.

The other thing it explains or I feel plays into, is Ellie’s conversation with Gibbs. I know a good majority of this is Ellie missing Gibbs’- mourning that relationship she had with him at work and worried what it means for them going forward (especially if she’s going to be doing something with Odette soon 👀). But I also got a little bit of underlying worry with what I said earlier- the nature of the job, its high stakes and how that impacts any relationships one might have. Because ✨newsflash✨ this job has NOT been good for Ellie’s love life. A divorce and murdered fiancé quite literally because of the job?? Yeah, great track record she’s got there. And now she sees an entire team wiped out from one case and she can easily place her, Nick & McGee in their place. Easily. And to her- is it worth it? Is this job worth the sacrifices? And who better to ask than the man who’s had his more than unfair share of sacrifices because of the job? And just underlying anxiety in Ellie’s voice leads me to believe she’s got a double meaning for her question because this isn’t even totally factoring in the stuff with Odette since that’s still a mystery to us.

But yeah. All in all, lackluster episode followed by a sweet panic spiral inducing promo that has me like coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool I’m totally coping well let me go cry in the bathroom. Because who’s ready for this ANGST KISS AND CLIFFHANGER Y’ALL. WHO’S READY TO SEE ELLIE KISS NICK GOODBYE AND HIS FAAAAACE AFTER. I’M READY. *dies* I’M READY.

More Funny Little Moments #2: Season 1, Episodes 13-24

Okie. In an effort to save myself a lot of time and frustration, I decided to only choose one additional funny moment, maybe two, per episode (unlike last time when two was the baseline and sometimes three popped up). ’Twas to middling success. Unintentionally and not, I left some better moments for this post; of course, the episodes that were stretched thin for their FFLM probably aren’t much better here. :”)

FFLMs: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24

Athens City Academy of the Performing Bards

Greeks dressing up in the traditional/stereotypical togas for the one and only time (I think) on this show. Everybody at and connected to the Academy dresses like so. …Then we have Gabrielle. X”D

A Fistful of Dinars

So, I imagine warlords as curious aliens who don’t understand human interaction. When Xena does it, it makes me chuckle (like when Gabrielle hugs her or cries, and Xe’s like, “???”). Petracles is similar.

Warrior... Princess

The fire-connected assassin being a slob. When Xena arrives at Princess Diana’s castle, it’s early morning. A killer almost immediately attacks her but has to run away for his life. He comes back late at night, just as dirty and burned as he was when he left. …Why? And not only that, his clothes that were on fire are perfectly intact while his forehead, which did not catch fire, is not. XD

Yes, it’s a bit morbid but this corpse’s sassy expression is definitely comical. heheheh

Mortal Beloved

Xena being RIDICULOUSLY unobservant. She looks straight ahead, doesn’t see anything out of the ordinary, and so turns her head to look elsewhere. Marcus crouches a whole six inches down and then spots Gabrielle in mortal danger. …Feet away from them. …With nothing to block their view between them and the wabbit. XD XD XD What even, Xena?

It’s more sad than funny when Xena stabs Marcus in the heart, but her line straight after that and Hades’s reaction push the moment over the edge. X’)

The Royal Couple of Thieves

Yay, subtext! Gabrielle somewhat subtly asks for Autolycus’s ring while he doesn’t notice. But someone behind him sure heard her widdle wabbit’s plea. And it affected her quite a bit. D’awwww! :”)

The Prodigal

I cannot BELIEVE I forgot to include this moment in the original post. It got me gooooood. Yes, the setup is a bit predictable, but… just… the townspeople’s hands are still up in the air like they’re riding a rollercoaster that disappointingly malfunctioned right before the big drop! XD The main lady’s faaaaace!!! She was even better than the roommate’s girlfriend in “Big Daddy.” XD XD XD (Video clip here in case the picture isn’t enough for you to know what I mean.)

Altared States

A hilariously adorable moment rather than straight comedy, from Xena of all people. The way she’s sitting, holding Gabrielle, and tilting her head to look at the wabbit reminds me so much of a little kid who’s wondering what’s wrong with her dolly. Hee!

What can I say? I couldn’t ignore Goofy Gabby completely, could I? And this scene isn’t often referenced or noted, so it fits! XP Just look at her blunt-stabbing whatever critter might be under the pillow. She reminds me of an outtake of Ren repeatedly “stabbing” a stunt guy with a toy sword (seen here if so desired). heheheh But part of the real gold here is how poor, weakened Anteus is just so confused. heheheheh

Ties That Bind

Xena being defiant because Gabrielle’s being weird. The wabbit screams for the warrior princess—who is already staring at her—to look at her, so Xena looks away, like, “Uhh, no!” kinda like this. heh

The Greater Good

Can’t leave Argo out either, can I? Poor pony. I’m beginning to understand her aversion to Gabrielle more and more. X)

Callisto

Gabrielle doubting Xena and then learning an interesting lesson that will only prove more true as time goes on.

Death Mask

Our wee widdle wabbit being rightfully proud of herself after besting an enemy with Xena as the audience for the first time. Xena… is afeared. XD

GabbyWabbit and friggin Toris forgetting what franchise they’re a part of. Yes, I’m way late for both “holidays.” Whoops.

Is There a Doctor in the House?

In addition to not being able to believe what Xena did to her in the main post, Gabrielle is now stunned by the words coming out of Xena’s mouth. I. …Screw around. heh (Though I totally remember the quote in a different accent and so had to rewatch the clip a few times to relearn it. You can watch it too, here.)

.

Hm, this was more fun and easier than last time. Woohoo! 

But, alas, it is the end of an era. No more FFLMs or MFLMs for the foreseeable future. And absolutely no one has commented on my posts in several weeks, so I don’t even know what you guys think of my work or want. *sad* Ah well. 

The one suggestion I got elsewhere for my hundredth (next) post was to make cracksubs for “Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire.” I think that’s a good idea because I’ve been wanting to do another cracksubs post for a while now and don’t like LLHoF. ’Twas a similar case with the last one I did but that led to a deep, abiding love of “Them Bones Them Bones.” heheheh

If anyone has any other ideas, though, then please let me know. Thanks!

Ep 5 of BoB tiiiime <3

Episode 5: Crossroads, but I’m renaming it “Holy crap is this a whooper of an ep, guys. So much haaaappeeeeens. Also, I freaked out cos I thought it was Bastogne but now I’m like oh phew. That’s for Future!Laura to freak out about”.

Ready? Let’s go!

01:15 Johnny ‘unimpressed’ Martin pulling one of his patented bitch-faces in the credits, we stan.

02:31 OHHHHH IT’S IRL DICK! We love you!!!

03:45 God I love the technique they use with the shaking, ground-level camera whenever Dick is running. It’s so realistic. And how he’s gasping for breath. Not like in movies when people just seem to run forever so easily. This whole scene, the pacing and the setting, you don’t know what’s happened or what’s happening currently, all you know is he’s running and alone and breathless and it’s all so frantic and my heart just cannot take it with this fucking show you guys!

04:04 Oh God. The kid. He sorta smiles? He doesn’t get it at first. I can’t.

04:10 SCHOONDERLOGT??!! THIS PLACE IS CALLED SCHOONDERLOGT? I LOVE IT!!!

04:34 Wake up from your post-coital nap, Nix!

04:42 Genuinely thought Dick was slapping his butt LMAO

04:46 HOE DON’T DO IT

04:55 I love how Dick is horrified for exactly a split second and then he’s just like LOL. Real talk, when does he laugh around anyone but Nix? He smiles around others but not the same as when he’s with Nix, and he sure as heck doesn’t laugh. Except for maybe with Harry. But Harry’s Harry, it’s a given.

05:15 Nix has forgiven him quickly, it seems. Probably because Dick let him sit in the front seat.

05:22 They’re so married.

06:13 Don’t flirt with Dick’s husband, Hot Brit.

06:23 He just did it again, after I specifically told him not to! You’re on thin ice now, Hot Brit.

06:47 Dick hasn’t been doing his homework.

06:54 No Dick, Nix is busy with his new hot friend, go do your homework.

07:07 What happens if you make a mistake on a typewriter? Can’t backspace lol. Imagine all that typing, getting to like the last character and fucking it up.

07:26 DOGGIE!

08:00 OK I’m sorry which guy was it that just burst in screaming “PENETRATION!” I need to marry them even though I’m already married, and I don’t think it was Rich. Whoever it was, I want to shake their hand, at least.

08:17 No. Do not blame Lieb for anything, ever.

08:29 Roe in action <3

08:39 “Hey Alley.” “Heyyy.” I love them. My babies <3

08:53 The boys want revenge.

09:33 Lol @ Tab, “They’re not as smart as me and you?”

10:23 ISTG I need a translation or subtitles for the hand-signals. I would hard out be chillin at the back yelling “WTF MAN. DICK! HEY DICK! I. DO. NOT. UNDERSTAND. YOU.” And then we’d all die cos they’d hear.

10:26 RICH! IT’S RICH YOU GUYS!!!

11:22 RICH <3

12:14 LMAO Lieb is so excited.

12:33 Dick is so fucking smart, making sure everyone has a target to eliminate so they’re not outnumbered for long and the most immediate threats are taken care of <3

12:38 RICH <3 It’s so cool to see him doing his mortar thing, not just comic relief or providing me with dopamine by simply existing.

14:29 The gunshots and then crossing to the typewriter keys ugh this shooooooow

15:40 Enter?? LMFAO Who says that!! Oh look, Nix has come to apologize for encouraging the flirtatious Hot Brit. He missed you <3

15:52 Dick is in love with Nix. And Nix is in love with Dick. Husbands <3

16:15 This entire exchange is the most A+ flirting. I love how Dick just plants the thought and leaves it to Nix. He doesn’t push. He accepts Nix as he is and <3’s him

16:59 LOL @ Nix “That’s not literature… say ‘we’ a lot,” so supportive and helpful.

17:35 Nervous boys

17:41 Johnny ‘unimpressed’ Martin is starting to bitch-face, watch out…

17:52 Oh no.

18:12 Lol @ Lieb, you can see he’s yelling

18:35 Dick looks so BAMF

19:11 Hoob, it’s not a competition!

20:00 Web <3

20:08 Johnny, chill!

20:48 Oh Web. “Jesus Christ, they got me!” Rivalling Buck for being dramatic af, baby

21:24 Aw Dick

21:36 Lieb find some chill for once in your life. Are you upset Web got hurt?

21:42 Do not speak to your father that way!

21:59 You’re in time-out, young man!

22:17 Ross McCall is freaking hot omg. LMAO @ Lieb though, his Dad is not happy and now he’s grounded.

22:30 No, Web, no one believes much of what you say tbh, sweetie. Still <3 you though.

24:01 You can tell it’s Nix by the way he walks and his shoulders <3333

24:16 Nix doesn’t know who that is aw

24:34 Aw Nix trying to be comforting and supportive the way Dick was to him earlier. But his husband is too moody.

25:53 I love that Sink asks it that way, “How would you feel?” Rather than surprise bitch you’re doing it. I mean you don’t say no to that kinda thing but still. Sink = <3 He’s such a babe

26:16 RICH! EVERYONE STOP, NOTHING ELSE WILL EVER MATTER IT’S RICH. I was starting to miss him in case you couldn’t tell. Lol wtf is he doing to Penk’s ear, and why with a spoon??!!

26:26 Aw Dick. He wants to know his sons will be well looked after by their new stepdad.

26:35 ROE <3

26:47 Nix couldn’t stay away long

27:05 NIX! No!

27:14 LMAO bacon sandwich. Loves how Dick gives the report to Nix, not his orderly.

27:26 He missed you obvs

28:13 Moose, you look after his sons!

28:29 Aw Dick can’t let go <3

28:38 Nix’s resigned little sigh and shoulder slump aha

28:54 Bull! Missed you! As identifiable as ever by the cigar… but is now the best time to be smoking it??

29:31 Their code is Leicester Square! So cute!

29:46 Lieb is so eager for blood-shed

30:40 Aw they gave Moose a beret!

30:39 Dick is jealous he doesn’t get a beret! But he’s so happy his sons are safe.

31:17 I always scream.

31:50 Roe <3 “Mo’phine.”

32:11 “You oughtta. You are officers, you are grown-ups! You oughtta know!” ICONIC. My heart. His faaaaace. Shane Taylor <3333

32:19 The bloody handprint omg

32:46 The boss jacket returns <3

33:11 Nix is so proud.

33:41 We missed you Bill <3

33:48 Dad’s a busy man now Bill.

34:25 “I don’t wanna see another piece of paper!” Dick is always such a mood. Never change, Dick <3

34:20 Whatcha doing, Nix? About to propose? God I wish. You know Dick would say yes.

34:35 Don’t interrupt the proposal, Harry!

34:42 Dick and I are just both going to pretend we didn’t hear that, Nix. Canon not accepted.

34:59 Dick would rather be with you tbh

35:30 So they all just sit around in parade dress? Wait is that parade dress? It is, isn’t it? Someone @ me?

35:34 Rude

36:05 Dick. Don’t stare at the child, Dick.

36:52 Dick. Stop. Seriously.

38:05 Can’t tell if that’s cute or weird tbh

38:31 He’s moping cos he misses Nix

39:03 Unf

50:19 So ominous 0.o

In conclusion, I love this show.

[favvnsongs]

any thoughts about lexaden first kiss? hurried or desperate or relieved? against a wall in a corner somewhere? the POTENTIAL

oof okay well first of all my feels about lexaden's first kiss change by the fucking h o u r lmfao. like I have 12+ different scenarios for lexaden so just... jot that down.

like ffs I've got a faith!verse sequel au where lexaden end up being a thing like 5ish years after aden takes the throne.

or there's the one where he's one of the like, 3 people in on the scheme when lexa has to fake her own death after the ice nation lays siege to polis so she can go into hiding and be under the radar enough to gather up her allies and devise a counter strategy?? and just, aden growing up as like, having escaped from polis and taken political refuge in arkadia??? him and lexa secretly corresponding back and forth?!?! aden like, just the sudden angst-filled resurgence of his puppycrush? all the more miserable and guilt ridden and just. the all of it? lexa really being the only person that g e t s him?? trying to keep his crush under wraps? kinda sorta failing? especially after a few years? sullen petulant boy getting real fed up of being stuck within the wire fence of arkadia? lexa really the Only person he can vent to? their letters getting less like ... idk how to even explain it but especially once he's older their letters take on a much more heartfelt and vulnerable and filterless nature?

lexa catching feelings back?!?! trying to keep it out of her messages to him bc holy fuuuuuck the shame and guilt and self loathing.

but also I have weird feelings about aden making a trip beyond the gate of arkadia four or so years after the ice nation has taken the Capitol and lexa 'died' in the ensuing carnage and chaos? his and lexa's secret clandestine meeting to be able to sit and talk strategy and all that jazz without fear of their messages being intercepted?? especially after someone in Clarke's little squad maybe swiped one of lexa's letters? one of the more mundane ones and they all think that aden just has a secret gf somewhere? but it spooks him enough that he feels uneasy about sending any messages after that??

I'm just. hugs y'all. hugs and forehead touches and gosh he's gotten so tall and grownup and dhsidnfkd. the last of her ducklings? they all either died in the invasion of polis or after from their injuries or from illness and whatever in the months and years afterwards??? and like obviously she would have known he was taller and broader and shit like that. he spent nearly three years grumpy pouting about his miserable wretched growth spurt. but reading about it and seeing it are two different things?? and just like. aden's 'oshit' moment upon seeing her again?

and like, a weeks long period of them being just in the middle of nowhere? so she can lay out everything she's been up to and stuff? everything that was too classified and sensitive to be able to write down? even with their messages encoded as they were? and like??? I mean he obvs kisses her first and his v visceral "oshiT" moment right after? lexa's faaaaace.

that presumed unrequited but mutual pininggg. adens stuttering red faced apology? so sure that he's just fucked EVERYTHING up?? especially bc of her stunned expression? the dragging silence? fuck me he just wants the earth to open up and swallow him alive? positively fucking mortifiedddd?

but then her soft blushy lovely smile? and she just - like all of her is soft? even with the stress shadows under her eyes and the obvious exhaustion and wear of how she holds herself? no longer the glowing radiant Bigger Than presence of the Before years? but even no longer being imposing and awe-inspiring and More like she once was, he's absolutely Taken with how lovely she is. with the barely there candlelight flicker of the tiny cabin they're in? he'd told her a joke (snarky and bratty and impersonating arkadians?) and her laugh had been the sweetest thing he's experienced in years? cheeks pink? the look she gave him being so like, fond and endearing and precious? in their old lives she would have chastised him - when she was still heda and he was still a duckling? she'd have leveled That Look at him and admonished him for mocking their allies. even if she found it funny she was always so careful not to enable that sort of thing.

but he tells a joke and she laughs and smiles and looks so positively fucking beautiful that he has to kiss her. knowing damn fucking well he shouldnt. knowing damn fucking well it could ruin literally everything? ashamed and hating himself. panicking until she says his name so soft and gentle and tender and calming and reassuring??

panicking until she grabs his hand and tugs him back down to sit and he can't bear to look at her until she makes him? insisting and steadfast?

the barest cheek kissssss. right at the corner of his mouthhhhh. her admonishing 'aden really now-' tone when she tells him to relax? but he can hear her smile and see the unspoken 'you're so dumb' in her face? blinking like such a confused little fawn of a boy despite really being anything But these days. until it really truly properly clicks?

his "oh" and her even more so "oh" in turn? parroting him? everything about how she says it screaming 'god you're so d u m b' and tbh it's kinda. he's such a dumb but also lexa @ herself bc she's also s o dumb?

smiley giddy precious babbus!! that relieved catharsis of being able to admit and experience and indulge in their feelingsssss.

but also the ANGST when they have to part ways again and he has to go back to arkadia and she has to vanish back out into the world againnn. aden having to pretend like it never happened. like she's still dead? o o f.

OKAY I HOPE I DIDN’T MISS ANYTHING IMPORTANT BYYYYEEEE

[imaginecoderealize]

dates, huh... so what would be an ideal date for nemo, finis, and aleister~?

Mod Nautilus is definitely, definitely, DE-FI-NITE-LY taking this one!

“Honestly, don’t these people have anything better to do?”

“They went to the trouble of asking, Finis. The least we can do is humor them.”

“Fwee hee hee… ohhhh, this will be such FUUUUUUUN!!”

“Ahahahahaaa—-!! Of course, of course maaaaaaaany people want theprivilege of going on a date with this brilliant scientist, but my schedule ispaaaaacked—! Hmmm~ I suppooooose, though…. Ohhh–! I can’t resist that lookof disappointment on your c-u-t-e faaaaace…! Veeeeeeery well, ve—–ry well!I’ll graciously clear a night just~ for~ you~! Looooooooooooook forward to it!”

…

You know, for someone who has such a packed schedule, Nemo sure does spend alot of time with you in the days leading up to the date. He says that it’s forobservation, but he’s not doing so much “observing” so much as “talking aboutscience non-stop”. You were expecting that, though, otherwise… why would youhave asked him out?

On the day before the date, though—he’s gone. You get so worried about himthat you actually find yourself strolling through London, hoping to hear thattell-tale booming voice. Maybe he found an experiment he got really excitedabout, or… maybe he got himself blown up. Hm, better not think about that.

The next morning, you’re awakened by the sound of rumbling. Is itthundering? But the forecast called for clear skies… huh. It’s getting closer.… It’s getting very close. What the heck is that, it’s right above your house!!

Still in your pajamas, you rush outside to see a large purple and blackairship. It’s so… gaudy… and why does it need all those cannons?!

But you know who it belongs to even before that familiar cackle fills theair.

“Bwaaaahahahahaha! Weeeeeeeeell? What do you think, hmmm? Of this beautiful,magnificent— Fultooooooooooooooon… Mk. II! Mm… if only I still had thegravity alleviator, it could have been much, muuuuch bigger… mutter… mumble…BUT! Whaaaaaaat are you still doing just staring, eeeh?! Climb aboaaaaaard!”

You’re about to protest that you’re still in your pajamas, but the ropeladder that drops down from the Fulton… Mk. II… leaves little room forargument. So you cling to the rope ladder and are raised above London… in yourpajamas. Nice.

Luckily, Nemo has overthought everything. As soon as you climb inside andclose the hatch, you find a package wrapped in brilliant purple tissue paperwith a note that contains way too many ‘x’s and ‘o’s.

He’s prepared quite the costume for you, it seems. Tall boots, slim pants, ashirt ragged for aesthetic purposes… and to top it all, a black leather jacketwith silver and purple wings embroidered on the back.  You can’t help butfeel a bit silly when you put the silver aviator goggles on your forehead, butthat feeling disappears when you walk into the bridge and see Nemo give you athumbs up.

“Mmmm-hmmmm—!! I knew it would look amazing on you!! Come on, come and seemy genius in moooooooootion!!”

Nemo extends his hand and you take it, allowing him to guide you to the shipwheel. As the ship rises, you can’t help but think about how London looks likea doll house from all the way up here.

“Here, here! Aren’t the controls increeeeeeeeeeedible?!” he steps back andushers you in so that your hands are on the wheel. You’ve never steeredanything like this before, you can really feel the power of the technology!

Nemo’s standing behind you, steadying the wheel with a wide grin on hisface.

Soon, London is left far behind and the two of you sail above the cottonyclouds. It looks almost like you’re flying over a field of snow. At Nemo’sencouragement, you leave his side to take a closer look down from the bridge.It really is an entirely different world surrounding you up here!

When you look back at him with a smile, he looks the happiest you’ve everseen him.

Then the Fulton Mk. II starts to shake.

“A—ahhhh—?!”

Nemo looks up at some gauges and dials and you see his eyebrows arch up soquickly that you’re afraid they’ll go flying off his head.

“H-Hold on! Noooooo! My SWEET LOVE MACHIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE—!!”

You cling to whatever you can as Nemo is forced to make an emergencylanding. Well, it’s more like an emergency… skidding? Not as bad as a ‘crash’but not as good as a ‘landing’, either.

There’s a lot of smoke as Nemo helps you open up one of the hatches to slidedown the side, but what’s important is that the both of you are safe.

Well, physically.

Mentally….

“NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO———————-!!!!”

Nemo falls to his knees at the sight of the smoking Fulton Mk. II. Youreally can’t understand any of what he’s saying, just lots and lots of sadnessand lots and lots of pained screeches.

But it’s a beautiful day, at least…

You sit down next to Nemo and let him ramble unhappily about pressure gaugesand cheap wiring and budgets and all kinds of things that you might or mightnot understand. But the saddest thing is when he frowns and looks your way:

“I really, reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaally wanted this date to bepeeeerrfeeeectt…..!!”

And then he bursts into tears.

What else can you do but put a reassuring hand on his back? I mean, sure youplummeted out of the sky and very well could have died, but you also got to seeLondon in a way you never have before and—oh, he’s hugging you. He is huggingyou and crying on you.

Eventually he wipes his eyes and gets to his feet.

“Weeeeeeeell… we’d better get back to the labooooratory……………”

You can’t help but wonder—‘we’?

“Of course, of cooooooourse! After all, you ARE my super-cute assistaaaant,aren’t yoooou…?”

Again, there’s no room for argument as he takes your hand and gives it a squeeze. Nemo begins to walkbeside you on the path back to London—the path of science that he loves so dearly.

Well, it looks like you have a… a……. Nemo…congratulations?

“Hm? You’re asking if you can share an afternoon with an old man…? Haha,I would be delighted.”

…..

Aleister knocks on your door as the clock begins its hourly chime. Thoughhe’s still in his usual attire, he somehow looks sharper than usual. Is it adifferent scarf, a different hat… or is it that smile that’s gently nudging theedges of his mustache?

“You look lovely this afternoon. Isn’t a greeting like that customary forsuch an occasion? Heh, you must forgive my sense of humor, it’s been awhilesince I’ve been able to indulge myself like this.”

He offers you his arm and walks alongside you, his cane keeping the time ofyour stroll with each light ‘thump’.

“I was hoping you would accompany me to afternoon tea today at one of myfavorite parlors. They make a very impressive tea with leaves from the teagardens of Darjeeling. It’s perfect for a relaxed atmosphere and goodconversation.”

The parlor that Aleister is referring to is very small, with an entrance anda valet that leads you into a small room with only three tables.

“I’ve reserved the entire room for us, so please feel relaxed,” saysAleister.

When the valet offers to remove your coat, Aleister politely steps in. “If Imay.”

His gloved hands feel warm as he takes your coat off, and his refined scenttickles your nose.

He pulls out your chair for you and makes sure that you’re settled beforesitting across from him.

The china looks like it’s worth more than you’d make in an entire year! Youcan’t stop your fingers from trembling as you pick up a tea spoon. You’re aboutto put in some sugar, but you think better of it and ask Aleister what herecommends for this particular blend.

“Most tea connoisseurs will only drink their tea black, as it allows them tosavor its natural flavor.” Aleister raises the teacup and inhales. “Darjeelingtea has a wonderful floral aroma.”

He’s right. The tea smells wonderful and warms your body when you take asip.

“It is a thin-bodied tea, but the tannin flavor might be different if youaren’t used to it,” he says. “When I’m feeling adventurous—“ he pauses tolaugh. “—I add a few drops of fresh lemon juice.”

He picks up one of the delicately plated lemon wedges and gives it a quickpinch over his cup. You decide to join him in his adventure, and he nods to youas he lifts his cup.

Even that little bit of juice brightens the flavor, which makes thelightening of the beautiful color worth it.

The two of you take most of your tea in silence, but it isn’t an awkward oruncomfortable silence. It’s warm, and that warmth continues to linger evenafter the plates are cleared and two glasses are brought out.

For Aleister is a glass of fine port, and for you a glass of sloe gin. Youfeel incredibly refined as Aleister speaks about the history of the fortifiedwine in his glass. You completely understand why he’s so successful as aprofessor, you could listen to his quiet voice for hours.

… And that’s just what you do, as it’s dark by the time he’s helping youback into your coat.

You share the same walk, your arm in his and the slow ‘thumps’ of his canekeeping time. Honestly, you wish you could spend more time with him, and whenyou shyly mention this he gives a friendly laugh.

“I’m afraid I find myself in the same situation, but these sorts ofrendezvous should be savored instead of downed all at once.”

He walks you up the steps to your house, his smile slight but appearinggenuine.

“Thank you for a marvelous evening,” he says. “I look forward to calling onyou again, if I may.”

You can do nothing but nod.

The skin around Aleister’s eyes crinkles in mirth as he gently takes yourhand and kisses its back. His mustache tickles your skin, and you wish—no,don’t think about such thoughts. Save those for another day. Savor it, likeAleister wants you to.

He waits until you close the door before hetakes his leave, just like a gentleman should.

“Huh?! You want me to do what? What acomplete waste of time! ……. Ah, you’ll be even more bothersome if I say no,won’t you? Tch, fine… two days from now at eleven o’ clock sharp, outside SaintPaul’s Cathedral.”

…

You decide it would be best to arrive early. Finis doesn’t have the samethought, however, and you see him approach at the exact time.

“At least you’re punctual,” he says with a sly smile.

He walks so fast that you’re pretty much trailing behind him.

���We’re going to the fairgrounds today,” says Finis. “I figured a simpleperson like you would prefer an outing like that.”  

You know you should feel insulted, but he looked very cute when he saidthose words. You suppose you find it rather hard to stay mad at Finis.

When you arrive at the carnival, there are people from all walks of lifebustling from tent to tent.

Though Finis has his usual sour expression, you can’t help but feel hisposture conveys… hesitance?

You ask him if this is his first time going to the fair.

“What?!”

Your question caught him off guard, but he clears his throat.

“Of course it’s my first time here. Do I look like the sort of man whowastes his time in idleness such as this?”

Even his pouting face is cute.

You decide to ask him what he would like to do first.

“Ha, you act as though I came here for myself! I brought you here as afavor, so shouldn’t you decide where we go?”

…

He’s clearly staring at a snack vendor as he says this.

You tell him that you’re rather hungry, and without much fanfare he brisklywalks with you to a large tent dripping with candy apples, cotton candy,lemonade, and funnel cakes as big as Finis’ head.

As you tap your finger to your chin in thought, you mutter about how it ALLlooks good.

“Two of everything,” Finis speaks to the vendor in a dismissive tone.

As you sputter in protest, the vendor begins loading you up with popcorn, bonbons,cookies, lemonade, and a cloud of cotton candy that you somehow balance on topof everything else. Finis pays without a word and the two of you make your wayto a bench.

As you stare at it all, you tell Finis that there’s no way you can eat allof this.

“My god! You think I expect you to eat all of this?!”

You stare at him, and he sighs as if he’s explaining the alphabet.  

“You sample a bit of everything, and then decide what the best-tastingthings are. That’s what you eat.”

With this plan in mind, the two of you begin sampling the fair food. It’ssticky and sweet and absolutely wonderful, and you find yourself quicklyfilling up on the choicest selections.

When you finish, Finis begins walking ahead, and you follow after him.

“I can’t believe you ate the entire candy apple,” he scoffs. “The candy wasonly on the outside, you know!” 

You want to protest, but your stomach hates you enough as it is. You decideto just accept his chiding.

“Well? What now?” Finis looks around with a haughty expression. “The games?It looks like they hardly require any skill…”

But your eyes are already on the ferris wheel looming above you.

Finis simply sighs and begins to drag you in its direction.

You’re holding hands.

“It’s just so that you will keep up,” he explains.

Right.

When Finis gets on the ferris wheel, you can’t help but look at him for amoment. He’s so short that his feet don’t reach the floor, and his dignifiedexpression looks so out of place that you can’t help but laugh.

“What’s so funny?” his eyebrow twitches as he speaks. “I certainly hope you’relaughing at the pitiful state of this fairground!”

You sit down next to him and the ferris wheel begins to slowly rotate.

“Hmph…” Finis looks off in the distance at the rows of airships dotting theskyline. “… The view isn’t half-bad from up here, I suppose…”

You dig in your pocket and pull out a bag of leftover cotton candy.

“You managed to stash away more–?!” Finis looks impressed, and a hint ofred colors his cheeks as you offer it to him.

“Geez… you won’t let me say no, will you?”

You shake your head, and the two of you sharethe cotton candy as the ferris wheel goes ‘round and ‘round.

[blood-red-lion]

Yeah he’s looking kinda pissy. But he seems to be trying to handle it okay. Still soft. Good soft.

—OH NO. Oh shit and that’s it.

Well. Fuck. :(

[dangermousie]

This sequence is one of my favorites because it's hilarious in every way. Wang Yu asks her to spend the night and SN is trying to figure out how to get out of it (because she fancies WY etc etc) but this discussion gets tabled because a cheery voice behind the closed door goes...

The look on SN's face is epic!

The fact that Togon has come his royal self to fetch his bodyguard cracks me up to no end. SungNyang's faaaaace!

And now his royal highness is pouring said bodyguard a drink. Heh.

That eye roll!!!!

I swear to God, if Togon were a dog, he'd be peeing all over marking his territory.

And so would WY.

The way she freezes when he puts his arm around her is adding years to my life.

This is AMAZING!!!

The way she literally chokes and starts coughing...

There is literally no way either of these men is 100% straight - I remind you, they both fully believe SN is a dude during this entire scene!!!!

That's one way to get out of this dilemma. Another is a very entertaining royal sandwich but it's a kdrama not a kmovie so.

And the Royal Troll swans off happily, because he got what he wanted - SN's company this night - and he can try to wheedle for her to go with him to Yuan some other time.

Once again, I remind you that at this point WY is 100% sure SN is a man.

I mean, seriously, threesome - SN gets TWO royals to compensate for childhood of neglect, WY has got enough testosterone and chemistry for both SN and Togon, and Togon certainly ain't gonna be lonely with TWO partners. Let's goooooo!

[libraryscarf]

emperor's new groove au where yato is kuzco, hiyori is pacha, and father is yzma

“I’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the emperor’s groove,” the parti-colored guard said to Kofuku, who was then summarily tossed out the third-story window.

“You can’t just destroy my village to make room for some…some animal theme park!” Hiyori growled. Yato gasped in horror.

“It’s not just an ‘animal’ theme park. It’s Capypa Land!”

“What the hell is a ‘capypa’?!”

“Well,” Yato sniffed, “it’s more important than you, that’s for certain.”

Fujisaki admired his nails from atop his towering throne, an expression of perfect contempt on his face.

“It is no concern of mine whether your family has–what was it again?”

The villager stuttered out: “F-food?”

Fujisaki let out a bark of laughter.

“Ha! You really should have thought about that before you became peasants!

“Ah, how shall I do it?”

Fujisaki contemplated how to most efficiently kill Yato while Yukine waited patiently in the background.

“Oh, I know.” He rubbed his hands together, an evil expression twisting his features. “I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives…I’ll smash it with a hammer!!!”

Fujisaki approached Yukine, who was busily arranging salad forks before the beginning of the fateful dinner.

“So,” Fujisaki said casually. “Is everything ready for tonight?”

Yukine straightened one of the egg cups. “Oh, yeah. I thought we’d start off with soup and a light salad, and then see how we feel after that.”

“Not the dinner,” Fujisaki growled. “You know…”

“Oh, right.” Yukine slapped his forehead. “The poison. The poison for Yato, the poison chosen especially to kill Yato, Yato’s poison.”

He paused.

“That poison?”

(In reference to Yato, a freshly minted llama, passed out on the dining room table.)

Fujisaki: “WHAT? A LLAMA?!?! HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!!!”

Emperor Yato, collapsed and weeping against the fountain, was a spectral and disturbing sight for the confused Hiyori.

“I’m an ugly stinky llama!” Yato wailed. “Llama faaaaace!”

Hiyori took a step closer.

“Um,” she said. “It’s. It’s okay–”

“Did you turn me into a llama?!”

Yato turned on her, his tear-swollen eyes narrowing with suspicion.

“You were awfully uncharitable about capypa land. Is this”–gesturing to his fully realized llama body–“your sick revenge?!”

Hiyori burst from the water, coughing and spitting. Immediately she looked around for her llama companion–and found him unconscious and rapidly sinking. Dragging Yato to shore, she muttered:

“First with ‘Capypa Land,’ then with the criminal accusations, and now this–”

Flopping Yato’s body onto the ground, Hiyori knelt to listen for a heartbeat. The thick fur muted her hearing, but she could make out a dull, uneven thump. She had no idea what a llama’s heartbeat sounded like, but that seemed promising.

“Wake up,” she commanded, shaking Yato’s head from side to side. “Wake up! Come on! Wake up!! Dammit, I’m not going to–”

Hiyori froze. What if she had to?

She looked down at Yato again. He remained stubbornly not-breathing.

He was the Emperor, and in most cases, a divinely handsome–albeit selfish and conceited–man.

But he was also a llama.

She couldn’t think it. She closed her eyes.

A few moments later, Yato’s opened with a snap. Hiyori’s face hovered above him, her face suspiciously red.

He noticed this before he began heaving water up out of his lungs, emptying a good portion of the river out of his airway.

“What…did you…” he wheezed.

“Nothing!” Hiyori shrieked. “I did nothing!”

“They don’t allow pets in this restaurant,” Hiyori noted, pointing at the sign above the door.

“You know what that means,” Yato said. Hiyori thought at that moment he looked as evil as a bedraggled and half-starved man-boy-llama possibly could.

The waitress seated them at a window table. Under his bushy faux mustache, Hiyori could tell Yato was grinning like a demon.

“Thank you,” she muttered miserably.

“Yes, thank you ever so much,” Yato cooed. “We’re on our honeymoon, after all.” He fluttered his eyelashes across the table at her and Hiyori cringed into the depths of her menu.

“What’ll it be?” asked the bored waitress.

“Oh, you already know what I like, darling,” said Yato in a syrupy tone that turned Hiyori’s stomach.

“Two specials, please,” she whispered, reluctantly allowing Yato to clasp her hand in his gloved one on top of the table.

After the waitress left them alone, she knocked his hand away.

“I’ve changed my mind,” she hissed. “First, don’t ever ask me to order for you again, and second, next time I will let the jaguars finish what they started.”

“I’ve been turned into a cow,” said Kazuma. “Can I go home?”

“Sure,” said Fujisaki.

“Wow, can you believe that after all that trouble, my dastardly advisor would get turned into a harmless kitten?” Yato asked. When he didn’t get an immediate answer, he nudged Yukine meaningfully.

“Not really,” Yukine said with a somewhat torn expression on his face as he cradled a wide-eyed Fujikitten.

“Or that all this time I was an extraordinarily handsome and compassionate Emperor in the guise of a pitiful llama?” Yato continued.

“Not really,” Hiyori replied, turning as red as the sunset and refusing to make eye contact.

“Or that capypas are, in fact, the most beautiful creatures to grace this green earth?”

“Not really,” said Hiyori and Yukine in unison.

[starlitsea]

The first part of the finale.

Listen to monotone robot man. Why would anyone follow this dude?

Baby Elizabeth is soooo cute. ;__;

This conference looks SO AWKWARD with the Enterprise crew just … standing on the stairs in the background. Phlox is the only one who looks cheerful and everyone else looks like they’re waiting for the dentist to pull out their wisdom teeth.

Clap clap clap.

Archer KNOWS they look bad so makes everyone clap harder.

Trip REALLY doesn’t want to clap. If you watch carefully, it looks like T'Pol caught a stray thought from Trip and is just sharing in his sullenness. Archer probably made them stand away from each other because it would be waaaay too obvious otherwise.

Aw, look at this crew. Sourpusses together.

Trip says something. T'Pol answers, but even her words sound completely unconvincing.

They are totally having a private mental bitch session and none of you can convince me otherwise. T'Pol has a bit of a delay before moving down the stairs too, as though she’s finishing listening to Trip grousing in her mindspace. Also, it looks like she’s zoning out a couple of times on the stairs. LOL.

Random woman staggering in wearing a jacket from 1970.

SECURITY!

T'Pol is backing Trip’s POV up to Archer. My babies have come so far since Season One! Also, that quick amused look Archer gives her. Like, oh, backing up Trip, huh?

Look, the bad jacket lady is shoving something at T'Pol while saying, “They’re going to kill her.” She looks like a bomber or a shooter.

Is there NO SECURITY at this Very Important Conference?!

T'Pol looks very concerned by the words of this person who has wandered in off the street.

But no, she’s a dying, emotionally disturbed good Samaritan who has a DYING MESSAGE.

Or a vial with hair in it. Doesn’t the hair look TOO LONG for a baby?

T'Pol has the facts about Susan Khouri and has clearly been doing some digging. Trip just looks befuddled. He’s more concerned about who the hair belonged to. Clearly he thinks there’s some sort of hostage situation.

Trip and T'Pol as a duo standing together is a good thing because this is a crazy truth bomb that is about to be dropped on them.

Phlox is like, yes, I know exactly who the hair belongs to. It’s a baby that contains Vulcan and human DNA.

T'Pol’s face is very calm and considering.

Phlox: I did everything possible to verify these shocking hair results.  It’s TnT’s baby!

Trip’s FAAAAACE.

Trip turning to T'Pol all: Wait, we had a baby?!

T'Pol looks a little unsettled by all the looks but is otherwise like, yeah, of course? in her demeanor.

Of course, the very next scene she is meditating so she isn’t THAT calm about it. Aaaaand obviously she knows who is at her door.

Trip strides in all: “We gotta talk about this.” We can only wonder how they left the conversation after sick bay but it doesn’t look like they got anywhere with it if this is where they’re starting. I assume there was a lot of Trip going, ARE YOU SURE? And Phlox going: Did I stutter?

Anyway, Trip sits down and steeples/smooshes his hands against his face. This is not an easy conversation.

T'Pol’s like, OK, I am not sitting next to you as it appears you may behave irrationally. Also, I dunno what’s going on either.

Trip’s all: Science! DNA! Verifiable facts! Logic!

T'Pol: Are you calling me a liar? I’ve never been pregnant. Like, ever.

Trip: Then WTF is going on?! I’m so confused and distraught. (Though really, if we look at the date of the first time they had sex, unless the Vulcan gestation period is VERY short, I don’t think they could have a six month old? Like, I guess human females pregnant with a half Vulcan baby actually have a TEN month long pregnancy? And she would have probably had to get pregnant when they were chasing the Xindi and like … hidden it for months as their ship was on the verge of breaking down???)

T'Pol can’t explain how it’s possible and Trip is just … not dealing very well.

T'Pol: Do you believe me?

This is a really important question. This is a crisis here. Like, this is basically her LIFE PARTNER (and father of her child(ren)!) questioning whether she is telling him the truth.

And we don’t see her expression but we see Trip’s expression, and slowly, slowly, he says, “Yeah.” He believes her. Phlox must be wrong.  If she’s never been pregnant then she can’t have a baby.

He is having some MIXED feelings here. On the one hand, we KNOW he loves the idea of having kids with her. He LOVES THEIR KIDS. He was SO DAMN HAPPY about Lorian. On the other hand, at least T'Pol is not a giant liar McLiar McLying face who had his baby and hid it from him only to have dangerous people kidnap it?

And ever since he said that he believed her, she’s been moving closer to him. And she sits down in front of him now, so close, now that they are finally able to be in the same space, and she tells him, she knows that it’s their baby.

He’s like, Wait a minute, did you NOT just tell me two seconds ago that you’ve never been-

She hasn’t.

And now he’s all angry and confused and going crazy again. WTF is going on?!

Here you can hear the emotion leak out of her. She can’t explain how their baby exists, but it does.  There is definitely a baby out there that is theirs.

And Trip’s face is just a picture of WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING? How do you know that?!

She just rapid-fire responds with: I’m Vulcan.

His disbelieving face is the best. It’s like she said, I know because I’m a witch. And he just slumps a little like, Samantha, why didn’t you tell me you were a witch BEFORE we got married?! (Okay, I actually dislike so many things about Bewitched, but this is just the example that popped to mind!)

Archer has faith in humanity. Yes, reference that theme song!

He’s rebutted with: We can’t afford to operate on faith.

Archer: No, ‘cause I’ve got faith of the heart! I’m going where my heart will take me! I’ve got faith to believe, I can do anything!

Archer is like TnT are going bananas, please tell me what you found out.

Yeah, now Archer has to call on Malcolm for a shady favor.

Malcolm hanging out at the actual docks. LOL.

Ugh, now Malcolm is back in the shady covert organization. All for Archer.

Everyone’s like: where did this baby come from? The mysterious secret dude doesn’t even know.

The bad guys are plotting. The TnT baby is so cuuuuuute that no one can resist. She’s a cutie patootie.

Terraists are always totally crazy (see LoGH, I mean Terraists).

Megalomaniacs always have scale models of buildings in their rooms.

I still don’t see any security at this conference!

Why do politicians always look so sleazy?

Archer is being pretty decent at getting information for once. Not enough underlying threat, though.

Travis’s subplot again. Hi, subplot. Travis is mad because Gannett broke up with him.

Trip needs some one to talk to so he goes to Phlox, because as you know, starships were not equipped with Counselors back in the day.

Trip gets right to talking about the baby. He wants to know about it, if it’s a boy or a girl. After what T'Pol said, it’s become real to him.

He’s so gobsmacked that she’s a girl. He’s in awe. He is fucking INVESTED. Immediately. Instantaneously. As soon as he let himself believe in it. (He is gonna back SUCH A GOOD DAD.) Now he wants to know if she’s okay, being a hybrid. (I mean, he’s seen Lorian so he knows it’s possible for her to be fine.)

Phlox says humans and Vulcans are pretty similar (yeah, all that Seeder stuff) so to the best of his knowledge, she’s perfectly healthy. (Nuuuuuu, whhhhyyyyyy.)

Trip is relieved and smiles a little bit. Then Phlox is a little TOO free with the info and tells him that she has his eyes. He laughs. Lorian had his father’s.

And T'Pol’s ears. Lorian had those too.

Trip’s still flabbergasted. It’s so much to take in.

Phlox is like, yeah, it’s totes weird since T'Pol’s never been pregnant. (And as her DOCTOR, he should know.)

And then Trip says: She could have gotten pregnant and not told me about it.

I will cut him a little slack because the situation is so completely bizarre and they were definitely having their fair share of problems, but, seriously Trip, you need to have more faith (of the heart)! That was beneath you.

Phlox does not bat an eye that they’re clearly sleeping together (well, he half orchestrated the whole thing), but the way he says, “Ah,” is so heavy and chiding. “And she had the embryo removed, also without your knowledge. I believe you know the answer to that theory, Commander.” Phlox is shaming him for his line of thought and Trip acknowledges it and that he’s wrong to think it. He knows that he should believe in her.

Phlox is like, OK, I will give you a pass this time, but you better not be a dumbass about it and say anything like this to T'Pol.

Trip thinks hard, nods, and says that’s good advice. He just won her back after a hard fought struggle. He’s not enough of an idiot to throw that away again.

Trip shares the fact that his father always wanted a granddaughter and bothered his sister about it all the time. (Was Lizzie married? I think originally he might have been supposed to have an older sister, but she got wiped from canon, so it must be Lizzie who’s being referenced.) For once, talking about his sister doesn’t seem to be painful for him. He’s smiling.

Phlox plays along and says it seems his father got his wish.

Trip shakes his head and blows out a breath, feeling overwhelmed. Here he is, dealing with sudden fatherhood. But to his credit, he already loves this baby he’s never met.

Ugh, listen to these xenophobic Terraists. Watch this robo-dude shoot himself up.

Travis and subplot checking out the shuttlepods. Ah, Shuttlepod One. The scene of many close encounters. You guys should close the door at least? C'mon, Travis.

Trip and T'Pol are the only ones sitting at the table. Like everyone else is standing around giving a presentation and the two of them need to be sitting in case there’s more bad news. Trip immediately volunteers to go on the undercover mission to the moon. T'Pol looks conflicted for a second, listening to him, but makes up her mind that she also wants to go. They’ve gotta get to their baby. Archer sees their resolve and doesn’t argue.

Doctor dude from earlier is the end result of ROCKS FALL.

Why are we mining the moon? Poor moon.

Trip and T'Pol are apparently the ONLY ONES on the undercover mission. Like, uh, you couldn’t send a couple MACOs??? These people have their baby. DON’T YOU THINK THEY’RE KIND OF RECOGNIZABLE?

Anyway, they are quibbling over directions while dressed in truly ugly jumpsuits.

Trip accuses T'Pol of downloading an outdated map.

She’s affronted. The map is fine!

Trip: “Maybe you’re reading it wrong.”

She is so peeved right now. She is pursing her lips in annoyance. THIS is the man she’s in love with? Really? But she restrains herself like a Vulcan and offers gently, “We can ask for directions.”

Trip is NOT asking for directions and tells her to give him the map.

He tells her that he’s figured out the problem and she clings on to this glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. “What?”

“We’re lost.”

Her irritated face is a delight. They’re lost. Also hilarious.

He suggests going in one direction and she inquires as to his reasoning.

He doesn’t recognize the tunnel and she bows her head and gives in.

Well, they’re alone in this tunnel so she wants to have a heart to heart. She knows he’s not convinced that she told him the truth about the child.

He looks really serious here when he asks her what she means.

She looks both sad and a little testy as she says, “You think I might have gotten pregnant without your knowledge.”

He can’t really deny it and looks away, but tries to defend himself anyway. “I never said that!”

“I know.” Jolene’s delivery here is so good? She is acknowledging that he didn’t say that even if he was thinking it, and she knows it was because he didn’t want to hurt her, even if she is still hurt by it. She does a little swallow after she says it too.

He’s not mad or anything but the first thought that comes to his mind just pops out of his mouth: “You’ve been talking to Phlox.”

And by this T'Pol is a little skeptical as to where the conversation has gone and turns it around on him. “Nooo? Have you?”

Now he’s kind of frustrated but not mad. “Look, it’s because you’re Vulcan, inn’t it, that you know all this?!” Like he’s at a perpetual disadvantage and T'Pol is full of some witchy secret mind-reading knowledge that he’s not privy too. She knows that the baby is theirs. She knows that he has doubts. (Darlin’, she could read you without the psychic bond. And don’t forget, you once told her the same thing.)

He’s sick of the bond!

Now, this riles her up. She doesn’t particularly enjoy it either. Especially when it tells her her partner is doubting her!

But the way Trip handles this really shows how much he’s grown and that he really took his talk with Phlox to heart. He tells her that for the last time he DOES believe her and that if she gets any more feelings (I think he was probably going to tell her to talk about them with him first rather than stewing in her own juices) – but he gets distracted by T'Pol staring over his shoulder.

Yup, they finally found the area they were looking for. So Trip was right about that. And then they have to table the conversation because finding their baby is more important.

Ugh, Travis, SOMEONE HAS TO CLEAN THE SEATS OF SHUTTLEPOD ONE.

Also, hasn’t it been a day or two since you guys were originally having sex? You were the one with the friend on the moon base so TnT could sneak in so you had to have been productive at SOME point. Were just helping out between bouts of having sex in the shuttlepod?! Has Gannett just been hanging out on the ship the ENTIRE time?

Hoshi is fixing the universal translators. Malcolm is getting antsy.

Trip’s been singled out and is playing along to get in good with the good ol’ boys club. Uh, Josiah is being a Xenophobic butthead, but the rhetoric sounds so familiar. It’s not lost on me that they have multiple black men AND an Asian being xenophobic buttheads, BTW, but in Star Trek race isn’t an issue anymore. It’s species.

T'Pol comes up and without preamble starts to tell him that she’s figured something out. He grabs her, makes a gesture for silence, and hides her behind him to make sure everything’s clear. Gotta protect his lady.

T'Pol’s telling him about the dead doctor with the air of someone revealing the set up of a murder mystery.

Trip immediately knows that she’s not buying the cover up and they agree to split up and figure out what they can tonight.

Ugh, I don’t want to listen to the alt-right meeting, I mean … no, that’s exactly what I mean.

T'Pol is checking out the scene where the doctor’s body was found and of course she gets shot.

5 thousand unregistered aliens on Earth. Could be 10 thousand. Humanity won’t exist in the future because of aliens among us. Wow is this episode timely. Like LOOK, THESE ARE THE BAD GUYS SPOUTING THIS BS.

Trip, you’ve been found out. Your face is too famous.

Yeah, Archer and Malcolm have found out that your girlfriend is a spy.

Trip gets thrown in the room and the first thing he sees is T'Pol sprawled on the ground, struggling to get up. “Are you all right?”

“I think so.”

When he hears that, he is so upset that she didn’t respond with “Yes.” That means she got hurt or worse. He sees the guard and rushes at him, demanding to know what he did to her. He is about to go to town on this guy but is held back.

The guard smirks at him and says, “Not nearly enough.”

Trip’s face right now? This is the face of a man memorizing all of your features, buddy. So that he can find you later and beat the ever-living crap out of you so that even your own momma doesn’t recognize you. HOW DARE YOU.

Now Paxton comes and is just so ludicrous with his delivery, comparing them to Romeo and Juliet, (Seriously, you guys were SO NOT DISCRETE – EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU), ranting on about them being starcrossed lovers …

Trip is wondering if this is all a huge joke. Is he being punked right now?

He and T'Pol both come to the realization that Paxton is the man in charge.

Then he rambles on about their baby being fine.

T'Pol is so pissed. Trip is so pissed too. He demands to see her.

Paxton yells: “No!” and then starts ranting some more. Trip’s face is like, WTF is even happening?

Paxton starts dissing Vulcans in particular. Then he starts dissing Trip and T'Pol’s relationship in general.

T'Pol wants to punch Paxton in the face and she is logically considering whether it will be worth it. Emotionally, it will be SO worth it. But logically, it could put the baby, Trip, and herself at risk.

I have always thought this, but apparently Trip and T'Pol are SO NOT discrete that even an organization of xenophobic whackjobs knows about them. Goodness.

TnT exchange a look, like, is he serious right now? This is the guy who’s the threat? THIS yahoo?

Yeah, the moonbase is mobile. He’s just letting Trip and T'Pol stand around with no guards? Like, really?

Gannett is being interrogated and wants a lawyer. Travis cannot believe this is happening.

Hoshi is only slightly judging.

Yeah, that’s correct, the entire mining facility is taking off.

Trip and T'Pol thinking that they’ve been caught by an absolute madman here who’s going to warp INSIDE the system.

Trip is like, WTF is holding this together, spit and string? Why would you even make this monstrosity?

TnT are a unit here.

Since when did we arm Mars?! With, like, the outpost from The Martian and lasers shooting out of the satellite dish?

Why are we ALWAYS firing on our poor Moon? Like, LEAVE THE MOON ALONE.

T'Pol literally feels sick standing next to this man.
