honestly the funniest gideon to me might be immediately post-show. where hes fresh out of jail on parole and trying to be a better person. my headcanon is they commuted his sentence to a mixture of therapy and community service (they uh. had no choice after the decision to both ignore weirdmageddon and also the prison got destroyed) and he accepted this in his attempt to Be Nicer

but also it means hes walking around town like this for a while

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR @jump-city!!!

I'm your secret santa!! Here's the hall monitors very hard at work with Smokey the cat

post comic seven speeding bullet to kiss city by blondshell for "it turns me on, when you tell me you aren't going away" and "just look me in the eye when i'm about to finish" because i'm thinking about scout's maturity and his navigation of single parenthood after committing to multiple relationships where he could have thought this time, this time he can get it right, this time everything will work out and this will be the one to stick, and his memories of sniper always being a dependable, consistent force in his life since they met, even when he looked over scout and the rest of the team from a distance. sniper was never removed, he was there the whole time, even if he wasn't working beside him on the ground floor.

I'm still adapting to my first job, so i made a thing to keep me motivated.

Tissue sample from my procedure results came back! I have no cancer, but I DO have complex hyperplasia with atypia and Google is telling me that it's considered "pre-cancerous" (still a giant L!!!) and the only treatments are hormonal birth control to reverse it or Taking It All Out. Guess which one I will be fighting for...

I am soooo happy for Finland and Erikaaaa!! I'm really hoping that the staging stays the same, she has so much stage presence, it's incredible, I'd only add some fire for the ESC performance so it can be more effective

Me toooo!! ✨ She's so lovely and charismatic 💗 The choreography, staging and styling have major rockstar energy, I love it

I was actually surprised by how tame the performance it was but maybe Yle was scared to go overboard or be too literal considering the lyrics are already quite raunchy 😄

Also idk if they are going to be able to bring the giant mic stand to Basel as props hanging from the ceiling are sometimes problematic to execute at Eurovision. I was maybe also missing some dancers? In any case Yle has now proven four years in a row that they can fix and upgrade the stagings between UMK and ESC so I have no worries at this point

anyway. QUEEN

(Continued from here!)

"Poppet?" Phoenix asks uncertainly. They look scared.

"I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean, I-"

Phoenix squeezes their hand where they're still holding it. They understand why Poppet's scared, Abbie would punish them if they used their camouflage incorrectly or without permission, she doesn't like it, but Zera just thanked them, it was a good thing, they stopped them being injured. They're alright.

"Really, Poppet. Thank you. I could've been seriously hurt if it wasn't for you."

Poppet's looking a little green. More than a little, actually, and Zera's eyes widen at the same time as Phoenix realises. They port across the room, thrusting the bin under Poppet's mouth just in time.

Phoenix stands there uncertainly. They're not sure what they can do to help. They just know that Poppet is very scared and they don't like it.

"They, um, I don't think Foxfire is going to hurt you," they murmur. They know how unusual it is not to get hurt but Zera really doesn't seem like they will. They haven't so far anyway. Phoenix is still trying not to think about tomorrow and Abbie. "You're, um, you're okay."

"You're absolutely okay," Zera says, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. "I'm not going to hurt you. No one is going to hurt you."

They say the words to Bailey, but they mean it for both of them. Phoenix's words, how fast they came to the conclusion that Bailey was afraid of being hurt for using their powers, were scaring the shit out of Zera. Honestly, at this point? Zera thinks the other hero shouldn't be returned to their team until this is cleared up.

"I'm going to go get rid of this, and I'll be back in less than 30 seconds. Can you count that out for me?" Zera asks. Hopefully giving them a specific task will help keep them from spiraling further into panic. "Firebird, watch over them until I get back. Like I said, I'll be fast."

Zera has officially gotten past the point of being able to handle this solo. They are calling in backup.

They port out to the garage. They land in their designated spot, the area outlined with their signature bright blue. Dropping the trash can, they turn to the camera and start signing as they speak.

"Attention," they say, making the sign that will alert Iris's programs that she needs to look at this feed ASAP. "Backup needed in medbay. Send Tempest and Airmid soft-entrance. Postpone pickup for Firebird."

They make sure to use everyone's codename-signs rather than personal name-signs, emphasizing that this is a hero-related matter rather than any off-duty one, and specify a soft entrance so that, hopefully, the two heroes arriving wouldn't scare the twitchy patients any more than they already were. And while Zera doesn't technically have the authority to say Phoenix should stay with them for longer, Elijah and Maeve are both already a little worried with how the young hero is acting. Zera's input about what they've seen tonight will just be the icing on the cake.

They don't have time to explain in any more detail. They need to get back to the medbay before Phoenix and Bailey manage to— Zera didn't even know, but they definitely didn't want the two alone for any longer than necessary. They sign one last thing to the camera before porting back.

They put their right hand in a thumbs-up sign on top of their flattened left hand, and drag the whole sign towards themself.

Help me.

 "Oh, you look a bit blurry," she said, as she placed her right hand gently on your chin.

 "Hold on, let me just–" Before you could even mutter a response, you felt the snap of a button press. In you face, a simple graphical interface appeared.

┌┤ Settings ├───────────────┐ │ Picture │ │ Color │ │ • Clock/Phase Calibration │ │ Input Source │ └───────────────────────────┘

 "Ah, there we go," she exclaimed, having easily navigated your controls. Recovered from your daze, you tried pulling away, to no avail. "Wait, wait, it will be quick, just," she whispered, both of her hands now holding your face close. "Just relax."

┌┤ Clock/Phase Calibration ├──┐ │ Calibration in progress │ │ ‣ Position │ │ ‣ Clock │ │ ‣ Phase │ └─────────────────────────────┘

 A second button press; streaks and lines glitch in and out of existence, a vertical Moiré pattern quickly sweeps your screen. You notice her eyes, her gaze still fixated on you, as the visual chaos in your display quickly subsides.

┌┤ Clock/Phase Calibration ├──┐ │ Calibration complete │ └─────────────────────────────┘

 "All done, see?"

 Released from her clutches, you quickly turn away from her. She lets out a mischievous giggle as you cover you face with your hands, feeling the heat emanating from it. You worry if she saw the expression on your face. With no doubt, she did. Sharp and clear.

i actually thought in s1 that the caitvi dynamic was going to be. naive sheltered cop girl technically has the upper hand but she's so clueless that vi is always ahead of her and able to overpower her. and that when caitlyn gets her out of jail, it was gullible to think that vi would actually help her, because i was expecting vi to immediately abandon caitlyn once they got to the undercity. this is vi's turf, she'd have an easy time getting away from caitlyn (could've dropped her off at the prostitute place and dipped to go look for jinx).

and then she looks for vi for a while and eventually finds her and it's like "why did u leave . u said u'd help" and vi is like "girl... u are so stupid. why would i help you ur a cop" and caitlyn doesn't understand why vi is so untrusting and so guarded towards her, because she's sheltered and never actually BEEN in the undercity before, so it'd never cross her mind that people can not trust the government and expect bad things to happen them and all that.

so their s1 arc is like. caitlyn trying to gain vi's trust or whatever for a while (because she gains it really quick in s1 which i thought was weird considering vi hates cops and was in a piltover jail for almost a decade), and then she does eventually gain caitlyn's trust. however. they then find out that jinx was behind all this, and vi and jinx are sisters and vi sides with jinx (because she's her sister and also who cares if she stole from piltover yall been stealing EVERYTHING from us) and now caitlyn doesn't trust vi and vi goes back to hating her.

so then when jinx kills her mom, caitlyn is like prone to being a hater because her only experience with undercity people (vi and jinx) have been bad and she now assumes they're all bad and combined with her grieving and rage, she easily falls into ambessa's hands and goes on her dictator arc in s2. and then we get toxic caitvi yuri instead. because caitvi is the most interesting when it's toxic so there

Uh oh bad news this sit-stand desk is real cool actually, I like being able to use the computer standing up!

I just need to fix my monitors, which are at a terrible angle for my neck, and I will be unstoppable.
