Realistically speaking though how did Boone pull Carla? He knew her pretty well, but it sounds like he’s always been pretty taciturn. What if she wasn’t in love with him but the idea of him? What if he falls in love with the Courier bc they actually want to dive into his past and motivations and hopes instead of floating over them like the beautiful dreamboat that Carla was?

It's an interesting idea but I hate it. I'm a huge fan of my second husband's first wife!

Seriously, Carla and Boone are presented as being absolutely head over heels for each other. Boone traces his issues solely back to Bitter Springs, but people who know him say he was a totally different man before he lost Carla. He's still in the early stages of his grief (it's no more than a year since he killed her, and probably a hell of a lot less considering some townsfolk haven't noticed she's gone!)

Boone implies that he felt understood by Carla. The only distance between them was that he didn't want to tell her about Bitter Springs because he didn't want her to hate him for it. Which says both that she admired him and that he thought she was fundamentally honest and good. Totally crazy about each other. Andy makes it sound almost sickening!

I've invented exes for Boone including at least 2 who just want a big strong handsome first recon sniper who can transition quickly and neatly from spending out on her on the Strip when he's on leave to dying and leaving her with a nice pension lmao. But I just don't see Carla like that at all. Frankly, she could have done better. Everyone describes her as just about the most beautiful woman they ever saw. She hated Novac, but she followed Boone there because she loved him. They were talking about baby names :(

The big contrast between Carla and the Courier that I'm interested in and that applies pretty much however you conceive of your Courier is that she's a force of nature. She got jumped in the middle of the Mojave, buried and left for dead, and it didn't stop her basically conquering it. Maybe she's someone Boone can leave alone for 5 minutes without visions of her being abducted by Legion. But even once he gets over thinking that anyone he loves will be punished for his sins, he's going to be permanently aware of just how fragile everything is, even if his lover is someone no-one would describe as fragile

omg reverse riko au is making me feel so ill..... please let us know if you have any more thoughts abt riko kayleigh and kevin legend.....

I DO my idea is that its around the same age kevin and riko met in canon so tetsuji kicks the bucket when riko is 7/8 and riko is (very forcibly) removed from the nest and sidelined to kayleigh as a new moriyama asset from the main branch takes over the nest. riko struggles a lot with the change because he is very young and very scared and he’s used to horrible things at tetsuji’s hand, which means that he doesn’t trust kayleigh and finds kevin entirely too weird. it’s honestly really cute because i think at this point obviously 7 year old kevin wants to befriend him but riko is such an anxious ball of anger that most of their interactions are like

baby riko: what do you WANT from me. go AWAY!!!! NOW

baby kevin: (heavy irish accent) nothing i think. do you want a bite of my sandwich?

anyway i think riko and kayleigh do get along but he never really considers her his mother or even godmother, for a long time he thinks of her as his Benefactor until the child therapy starts hitting and she becomes Aunt Kayleigh and then after a few more years he can be loosely convinced to refer to her as auntie once or twice a year. his second son syndrome never really leaves him; in the upcoming years riko struggles with the idea that he’s anything But an add-on to the days and still overworks himself to death trying to be acknowledged by kengo, but it’s leaps better just from being outside the nest and having people to look out for him

riko and kevin have some rough patches, especially during riko’s first years with the days. because kevin is an easy target and riko is afraid of kayleigh he ends up letting a lot of that anger out on kevin, though obviously at this point they are children and riko’s anger manifests in some mild bullying and name calling. i think kevin doesn’t even understand it most of the time 😭 riko has been around grown ups his entire life so his adult level insults make no sense to kevin’s seven year old mind. nevertheless after kayleigh tells him to stop picking on kevin riko does respect it (first out of fear, then later because they actually get along) and they go on to become brothers with only a slight tendency towards antagonism. riko’s jealousy of kevin is still a big part of their relationship and i think even more so when college applications roll around, and he’s even more worried when wymack comes into the picture, but it never culminates into anything as horrible as hand breaking because riko has an actual outlet and a support system :) it’s mostly a yelling match that eventually turns to getting scolded by kayleigh for acting like barbarians

I would report them one by one to these emeritus cowards and bastards! The DAUGHTER! HIS SECOND WIFE!! WHY THE HELL DON'T THEY DEFEND HIM FROM ALL THIS SHIT THROWN ON HIM! HE WAS HOLLYWOOD'S MOST VIOLENT ICON What????

me with fenris in 2014: boy im doing ungodly things to this man’s pussy you wouldn’t believe the headcanons i have. he’s a father of three from a previous extremely dubious relationship but NOW he’s in a secret relationship with a gay communist blond who he does not get along with initially due to fundamental ideological differences but maybe they can put that aside and have a healthy relationship. maybe.

me in 2023: haha, oh i was such a silly child making up my little aus and such. what a great time i had.

me with vulpes inculta in 2024: boy im doing ungodly things to this man’s pussy you wouldn’t believe the headcanons i have. he’s a father of four from a previous extremely questionable relationship but NOW he’s in a secret relationship with a gay communist blond who he does not get along with initially due to fundamental ideological differences but maybe the blond can fix him and they can have a healthy relationship. unlikely tho. he is a piece of shit

“politics is too hard, i’m gonna stay out of it”

absolutely not

i hate to be that person and i love daydreaming and living in my little cozy space of comfort and fiction as much as you do but you live in a society. you live in a real world. you’re an adult now even if you may have just reached 18. you’re now an integral part of society and therefore, politics. i understand it can be hard to grasp and too troublesome and stressful and that’s coming from someone who is currently taking international relations/politics classes. but you must at least learn the basics of things, must learn how it operates, must learn how to participate in it so you can create a better future for yourself with your own hands. it’s not pretty, it’s not nice nor is it absolutely stress-free but this is how society is made, this is how life works, this is how the greedy people on the ruling class is overthrown.

politics is real life and we’re an adult. we have no other choice but to participate in it regardless if we like it or not. because politics is the only way we can overthrow the system and create a better one

educate yourselves.

you can probably make a pretty good post about how people give Kaladin so much fandom grace and love and all that shit because he Is Relatable (has depression) but doesn’t have Scary Depression (he doesn’t cut, he doesn’t do drugs about it, he keeps his depression a secret and never talks about it with anyone, literally the only self destruction he does is not eat enough and not sleep enough (as opposed to the Bad Depression Symptoms of eating and sleeping too much), he’s an unequivocally good person who has never done anything Unquestionably Bad) and it’s because of those traits that I just. Don’t connect with him at all. The way he experiences chronic depression and the way I experience chronic depression are so fucking different that it’s almost unrecognizable. My fuckbrains are more like your Moashes and your Dalinars and pretty much every character where half the fandom hates them specifically because of their symptoms

Qui gon covered in bites and scratches: shaking obi wan like a naughty cat: why did you bite that diplomat we have talked about this Padawan

Tiny feral obi wan who is not sorry: master his vibes were rancid.

[bluevelvt]

when people think anakin wouldnt have turned to the dark side if qui-gon trained him im just ?????

YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED PALPATINE???

i mean qui-gon took anakin to be trained cause he thinks anakin is the chosen one or this is at least a major reason why and like??? PALPATINE WOULD HAVE JUST PIVOTED LIKE

"it's such a shame my boy that the council and even your master only see you as the chosen one and not your own person"

"i hope that they trust you as a jedi and not just part of a prophecy"

"i fear that qui gon only wants you as the chosen one and if you weren't, you would never have left tatooine"

LIKE PALPATINE WOULD HAVE DONE THAT! HE ENGINEERED A WHOLE WAR JUST TO TAKE POWER AND QUI-GON BECOMING ANAKIN'S MASTER WOULD HAVE DESTROYED PALPATINE'S PLANS???

idk just gets on my nerves and feels like a slight against obi-wan who yeah wasn't perfect and the circumstances for becoming anakin's master weren't ideal but i think he was a great master and this idea also makes palpatine seem far less manipulative, cunning, and evil

the man once said he would gladly make vader again given the chance, even knowing how it would eventually end, so he's not stopping just because anakin has a different master
