my old star wars mutuals are like siblings-in-arms to me. if you've been around since the beginning of my blog back when mando was good and we still posted about it during s2? we've been forever bonded by our shared service in the discourse trenches. if you remember the ENDLESS cult discourse, the frog egg discourse, the birth of dincobb, the recanonization of jaste(r mereel), the helmet discourse 1.0, the finale marking the decline of the show as a whole, the helmet discourse 2.0 post finale, and the birth of dinluke?? man. i would do ANYTHING for you. you get me on a visceral level. our mutualship has been forged in fire and flame.

Tanya the Evil always gives me Emotions when I try to read it, which does make it harder to get thru each book despite how much I love it, but I think I've made a Mistake by trying to read it while listening to Sabaton's "The War to End All Wars" album.
Y'all, I hit the song Versailles while reading Tanya's internal monologue about the cost of war while she was in the mop up of Operation Lock Pick. Y'ALL, when I say I had Too Many Emotions to continue reading, especially while on an airplane surrounded by strangers, I mean I had SO MANY EMOTIONS.
#there's always so much going on in the Tanya books#like I'll literally laugh out loud at something and then three pages later i'm having FEELINGS and need to put the book down to process#like.. objectively Tanya's protagonist halo letting her trigger coincidence after coincidence which makes the Commonwealth foam at the mouth#hunting for the mole/traitor that doesn't exist#and then you'll just get straight up gut punched with the most straightforward “hi yes war is hell and glorifying it is terrible” shit ever#combined with musings about a soldier's duty and the tightrope of survival as a soldier with limited options#and then the gut punch random reminders that Tanya is a super decorated war veteran with a Reputation and she's tiny! she's a child!#and after a point most everyone starts ignoring that outwardly she's a CHILD!#no one knows she's a transmigrator! no one knows she has an entire other life in her head!#they're just running with war genius child mage! she enlisted herself at NINE YEARS OLD! THIS WAS ALLOWED!#She saw her first action at like TEN!#(objectively she IS actively a bit of a war genius tho u know?)#(like she brushes it off as remembering essentially the history of war in our world but y'all..)#(y'all she's pulling memories of war tactics and maneuvers from her mind WITHOUT ABILITY TO REFERENCE ANYTHING)#(she's starting with what little she's being given as orders and what little she knows about the state of the war and the area terrain--#--and repeatedly putting these clues together into the Correct Answer to the point where she startles several superior officers)#(like yes she's not coming up with any of this on her own but she's remembering things she learned about and adding--#--the dimension of magecraft and repeatedly producing the same plan as her superiors without nearly as much current info)#(the amount of memory she needs to have for all those tactics/maneuvers/etc is incredible and shouldn't be discounted)#.... i had Feelings Again whoops#look she's not innocent or kind or good or even a RELIABLE NARRATOR but i love her so much

nothing makes you feel popular just like seeing so many friends requests on a3 because your card supports are just that good people keep flocking to you. I have to sort through at least 15 requests everyday. Some requests i rejected the previous day end up back in my list the next day. It never ends.

I was wondering if you have a headcanon for the restaurant they went to in "Like I Can" part 3?
I might have one or two! 😊 This was a fun ask to get! I hope you enjoy this!
I Find Myself Wanting
Summary: Bradley has a couple surprises planned for you and one very important question to ask.
Warnings: Pure fluff
Length: 2k
Pairing: Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw X Female Reader
Tumblr media
Bradley didn’t like to play up the fact that he was an active member of the Navy. Sure he was proud of what he did, but he didn’t always like the attention that came with it.
He wasn’t one to stand up and wave at baseball games when they celebrated active service members and veterans. He never took advantage of the military discounts when they were offered in stores.
He would rather get noticed for who he was, not what he did.
However, he was not above showing up to your favorite trendy restaurant by the beach with his flight suit half unzipped in order to sweet talk his way into getting a reservation for your six-month anniversary.
The reservations had opened up when he was on a two week training deployment. To no one’s surprise service was shitty on a carrier in the middle of the ocean and he couldn’t get to a computer to snag a table in time.
He might have been flexing a bit and wearing his most winning smile as he yes ma’am-ed, no ma’am-ed, just doing my duty ma’am-ed his way into getting that same table on the luscious outdoor patio where the two of you had had your first date.
The one where he had showed up and surprised you. The one where he told you he didn’t want to be just friends anymore. The one where he’d all but given you his heart, and had been lucky enough to have received yours in return.
He had taken you back there a couple times since then, but he wanted to night to be special.
It was a struggle to sit there and wait. As he tried to not let his leg bounce too much under the table, not wanting to accidentally bump the table and send the finely etched stemware crashing to the ground.
He definitely didn’t want that kind of attention. Not when he was already so anxious to see you.
All he wanted was you.
And you were running late.
Bradley didn’t know why he was so nervous, he already knew what your response would be. Could already imagine the winning smile on your face, could envision the exact spots your dimples would appear in his mind’s eye.
He’d known that smile for years, he loved that smile.
The waiter had stopped by earlier to check on him, and he took the opportunity to order a bottle of champagne to surprise you with once you got there.
Wiping his hands on his pant legs, he touched his pocket for the third time since he’d been seated. Making sure that the item he had tucked in there hadn’t mysteriously vanished since the last time he had checked less than five minutes ago.
There was nothing more he liked than finding little ways to you keep you on your toes.
He’d made sure to grab a change of clothes for himself when he had left his place that morning. And then stayed on base to shower and get ready after they finished training for the day. He didn’t want to risk running into traffic and having you arrive before him.
Bradley wanted to be there to see you as you made your entrance onto the outdoor terrace. To see you as the warm glow from the sunset hit you. He loved seeing the subtle release of your shoulders and the soft sigh that always seemed to leave your body whenever you saw him waiting for you.
He didn’t tell you what he had planned, just that you shouldn’t work late that evening.
During the one hour lunch break they got, he had made his way to your apartment and let himself in using the key you had given him instead of staying and eating there with the rest of the team.
It made his chest warm when he had seen how many boxes that were already lined up along one of the walls in your living room.
You were finally moving in with him.
It had only taken a few months of pleading, some strategic bribery, and a payment plan on his part to finally get you to stop being so practical, so logical. Your lease still technically wasn't up for a couple more months, but he wanted you for himself all the time. And he was lucky enough that you felt the same way about him too.
You never even officially told him of your plans to move in with him. He had been going through his mail one day while you were uncorking some wine in the kitchen, when he saw a letter addressed to you with his home address underneath it.
He thought his eyes might have been playing tricks on him. But when he had held it out to you between two fingers and a questioning raise of his eyebrow, you’d simply given him a teasing smile and a shrug of the shoulder. The gesture was nothing short of ok you win, Bradley.
Damn right he did.
He offered to order a U-Haul right then and there. Although you never got a chance to take him up on it because he had tossed you over his shoulder to celebrate properly in that dark wood canopy bed. The wine completely forgotten on the kitchen counter.
The two of you hardly spent a night apart, but this was the kind of official and permanent he had been longing for since you’d first kissed him against the Bronco all those months ago.
He didn’t let himself get too side tracked as he'd made his way to your mostly packed up bedroom, since he was there on a mission. He was pleased when he didn’t have to search too hard to find what he wanted in your closet. He had laid the garment on top of your bed and topped it with a note for where and when to meet him that night.
You hadn’t worn it since the first time you’d been there, and he wanted to see you in his favorite color again.
However, he couldn’t help himself and ended up grabbing a couple boxes on his way out to put in the Bronco to be unloaded at his place later. He was eager to do whatever it took to speed up the process, he wanted to see your place empty, wanted all your things to be nestled amongst his own.
Bradley knew you were it for him. And he knew you felt the same way too, even if you still were still being infuriatingly pragmatic at times. He saw it in your eyes when you looked at him, he recognized it because it’s the same way he looked at you.
He was about to check his phone to see if you had sent him a message, even though he had turned the ringer of his phone on so that he’d hear of his phone went off, when he felt your presence right before he saw you step out onto the terracotta tile of the oasis that was the restaurant’s outdoor patio.
And it’s like all the air has left his lungs.
You were a vision in emerald green as you made your way to him.
He wanted to feel your curves under the silky floral material. Wanted to unzip you slowly later that evening, to watch as your skin is revealed to him as that pretty dress slides down your body. To lay you out on that bed he bought specifically for you. To show you with his body just how much you meant to him, just how much he loved you.
He loved your pretty hair and how you styled it, just a little different from how he usually saw it. Like you tried something new, just for this date. Just for him. He couldn’t wait to brush aside the little tendrils that had escaped and were framing your face so sweetly. The soft make up you had done for the night really played up your beautiful eyes.
You were stunning. And you were his.
Almost in a daze he stands up and meets you half way to the table. Standing this close to you he can smell your perfume. Can see the little flecks in your eyes.
“Hi, Bradley,” you say with a gentle smile, almost bashfully. But clearly pleased with the effect you’re having on him.
God, he loves you so much.
He gives into the urge to brush away one of those tendrils brushing your cheek, and pulls your face to his.
Your mouth is soft under his. Mindful of your lipstick and the other people seated on the patio, he doesn’t let himself get too carried away as he kisses you in greeting.
“Hi, sweet girl,” he says as he pulls away, having to clearly is throat a bit before continuing, “You look beautiful.” He raises your left hand to his mouth to kiss it.
“Well, someone did pick out a such a nice dress for me to wear,” you tell him as you smooth a hand down his chest, “You look very handsome yourself, I’m a very lucky girl.”
Placing a hand low on your back, finally getting a feel of your warmth and that silky fabric under his palm, he guides you to your perfectly curated table. Pulling out the chair for you to ease yourself into.
He thinks he might have gotten away with the way he checked out your exposed thigh as you sat down, but the knowing smile on your face he sees as he sits across for you tells him that he wasn’t as subtle as he thought he was.
Especially when your foot reaches out to stroke his calf under the table.
“Happy six month anniversary, sweet girl."
Sure, it felt a bit young to be celebrating this kind of milestone. But he has been so incredibly happy with you that he’d enthusiastically find any excuse to celebrate being yours.
He's already learned that Veuve tasted better on a random Tuesday evening with you on his couch than it ever had with anyone else.
The warm grin you give him makes his heart beat a bit faster in his chest. With you in front of him now, gazing at him with such adoration, he has no clue what he was so nervous about.
“Happy six month anniversary, Bradley,” you respond indulgently, still stroking his leg with your foot, “I have to say, this is a very lovely surprise.”
“Yeah?” he asks, feeling very proud of himself.
“Oh yes,” your voice already tinged with a teasing tone, “I can’t say I’ve ever had a boyfriend who has shown up in a flight suit to woo their way into a reservation before.”
“I, uh-" he starts feeling suddenly sheepish, bringing a hand up to rub at the back of his neck.
“The hostess was rather chatty when I arrived. I would have gotten to you sooner, but I was held up at the front as she told me how sweet my American hero boyfriend was when he showed up,” you tell him with a fond smile, reaching across the table for his hand. “And now I feel less guilty about the low cut shirt I wore to score you the Padres-Phillies tickets that I currently have in my purse.”
Still such a little hustler.
The two of you exchanged a look for a moment before breaking out in a fit of laughter. Reminded yet again just how similar the two of you were.
“God, I love you.”
“I love you too, Bradley. Thank you for such a perfect surprise.”
He would never get tired of hearing you say that.
You were moving in with him. You were going to wake up with him everyday. He was going to get to hold you every night as fell asleep. He was going to build a life with you.
He wanted you like this forever. He wanted you forever.
“I’ve got a question for you.”
“Lay it on me.”
Reaching into his pocket he grabs the item he had tucked away in there, sliding it across the table.
He watches as you pick it up, reading the information on the plane tickets he had purchased, watches as you take it in and look up at him eyes wide with disbelief and delight.
“What do you say, kid, want to go home?”
He knew you hadn’t been home since the holidays. Although he couldn’t remember the last time he had gone back. It had stopped feeling like home, rather just the place he had been raised. But now with you, home was wherever you were.
“Yes, Bradley,” you beamed, your dimples appearing just where he expected them to, “Let’s go home.”
Leaning forward he picks up your hand to kiss the back of it, before threading his fingers through yours. As he sees the waiter rounding the corner with the champagne that he had ordered earlier chilling in a bronze bucket.
The tickets were for two months from now. He had orders to ship out soon for a one month deployment, and you had a big project at work that was wrapping up around the time he got back. He had wanted to plan something that both of you could look forward to while you were apart.
Bradley was excited to revisit all the places that had helped form the two of you. He knew where you were going, but he wanted to go back to the place where you had started.
You were telling him about your day, as the waiter worked on uncorking the champagne. And he was trying very hard to pay attention, but his mind was buzzing with everything to come as he let his thumb smooth over the back of your left hand.
He was going home with you.
He wanted to visit the high school you both went to. He wanted to take you to that slightly questionable amusement park and ride the Tilt-A-Whirl with you. He wanted to buy you an ice cream at the shop where he had his first job, where he spent his first paycheck getting you the pair of rollerblades you had wanted for your birthday.
If he was lucky, he might even be able to sneak into your bedroom. He’d be your teenaged dream turned reality.
Bradley already had plans to play golf with your dad. And he had booked spa appointments for you and your mom. He was really excited to see her again in person, she had always made sure he’d felt welcomed in your family.
The timing of it couldn’t have been better. After all, he had a very important question he needed to ask their permission for.
He was looking forward to it, he wanted it all.

I wonder what question he has to ask her parents... 🥰
Here are some aesthetics and headcanons for their favorite restaurant!

Day 4 - underrated character[s]
I actually don't know how popular the dazzles are because I'm not an active member of the rhythm heaven community [😔] but I do think every single idol character should get 200 million dollars in cash and a veterans discount for the implication of their working environment alone. Can you tell I'm a Sayaka Maizono fan

Management really sucks sometimes. At my restaurant we had a deal for a free entree for veterans or active duty, and a $10 game card (we have a huge arcade) on top the already 15% military discount. It was so chaotic the whole day. This area is around so so many military bases so we were swamped. So, to do these discounts each action needs a manager to approve it right there at the server station. And there were only a couple managers on this morning so we were all constantly scrambling to find a manager to approve all these. And they still had their regular manager duties. I think we would've faired better if we knew beforehand about this deal but I literally learned about it at I was clocking in. I was stiffed by a few tables bc they only got water and the entree and the game card. It was all free so there was nothing to tip on. Luckily I made a nice amount with the rest of the guests but my coworker got stiffed so many times she was crying. I wish we knew about this before today ugh

If you were in the FT fandom on tumblr during the like,2013-2016 era I think you deserve a veteran discount because that`s when the fandom was basically the most active on here you were out there in the trenches.

After Voltron I'm honestly desensitized to queerbaiting 💀 (not that I think 911 is doing it, we're just clowning but well) that shit traumatized me so bad I actively erased all my memories of the show from my brain. Can't believe I faked being sick and missed class to watch the seasons premiering on like at least two different occasions. Worst time of my life. We should get a veteran's discount or something for going through that.
Oh absolutely. I have the displeasure of having to rewatch Season 8 just to get the episode dialogue for the multi chapter fix-it fic I'm working on.
As for 911, I'm hoping that they're not on the queerbait train, though after the way last season ended, I was fully convinced. And now that they're on a different network with the old show runner back and so much stuff has come out that seems to indicate some queer storylines, mainly with Buck, I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic. So if tonight ends up being some sort of misdirection, best believe I'm gonna have a PTSD flashback.
Or several.

realized that the reason i have never been fazed by fandom discourse is because i was an active member of the outlast fandom when the first game and the whistleblower dlc came out. babygirl i have shipped things that i wouldn’t recommend going near with a gun. there is nothing anyone could come up with now that i could go “this popular thing is problematic” if for no other reason than the hypocrisy of it
that truly is the marker for this blog’s veteran discount. i truly constantly forget about it whenever one of those tag game posts comes around but that’s it

I just wanted to thank you for the tales in your blog today. I’ll admit seeing the responses on twitter in real time did evoke an almost visceral reaction, so it’s good to calm down now. But (like happens so often with Louis) I’m just left wondering what was it all for?? What was the point? What does he/his team think they’ll gain? Is this really a sensible way to ensure maximum ticket sales for the next leg?
We’ll probably never know, and it’ll be another thing to add to the WTAF list… 🤷🏻‍♀️
More than happy to help 🫡 those initial reactions can be so rough and I get it. I’ve been there. Sometimes a piece of bullshit just hits you and you can’t move past it. I never thought I’d be considered a veteran fan but I’m rapidly approaching 10 active years in this fandom and once you’ve called a phone owned by two teddy bears I guess you deserve the senior discount. But I have every intention for my blog to always be a safe, rational(ish) space in this crazy fandom.
I wish we’d find out the point of this too. Especially because after I read through all of those tweets today they just seemed so mean spirited! Like the last time he did a Q&A it was so well done and funny. This time it truly read totally different (to me) and I get that it could be because I had a bitter taste in my mouth after the chicken tweet but even my husband thought the tweet were mean.

Since I guess I am on a roll with poll creation I was recently wondering what Blogging Eras my active followers hail from, so here's another poll for the masses.

I never go out of my way to seek out Veteran discounts on anything but sometimes I come across a site that actively wants people to do that so hard it gives you a direct link to the mil ID site to verify yourself and I'm like. Sure. I'm disabled for life. The military owes me free shipping on some bras.
