Something Called Living by ArgentumLS

Summary: Of all the morgues in all the world, Richie Ryan just had to wake up in Henry Morgan's. (Highlander/Highlander: The Raven/Forever)

Why should you read this? This was written for hlh_shortcuts 2015, I clicked on the story without realizing it was a crossover, and I've never seen an episode of Forever. I know the series premise. I know who played the lead, Henry Morgan. Did I ever expect this writer to take these three series and mesh them together into one brilliant whole, one that makes sense?

Of course I did. ArgentumLS is just that good. Richie's superpower is making friends in the absolute worst situation, and Argentum highlights his ability to bond with others and his essential good nature here - even when things get bad, Richie can find a way out of it. She brings in Liam Riley from HL: The Raven, and a whole host of engaging characters from Forever and I can hear the crisp tones of Henry Morgan as he finds a new mystery - and friend - in Richie and the gruff weariness of his son Abe as Henry gets up to more shenanigans.

Go. Read. It's the first part of a series with about 160k words total, and I assure you, you'll be delighted by it all.

If u don’t want to agree to it being a colony then at least accept that they, along with the Irish and the Welsh were oppressed. If you don’t want to accept that then I don’t really know what to tell you becuase to me what im about to list right now seems an obvious example of oppression; trying to wipe out and I quote “ethnically cleanse” cultures, beating children for speaking Gaelic or Welsh right up until the late 20th century, after the battle of Culloden tartan and Gaelic was banned and if caught speaking Gaelic or wearing tartan, you were exiled, flogged or even executed, if you happened to have any ties with the Jacobites then you were literally rounded up and executed. Another example and a much more modern one is an account from my great grandma saying when she was at school you could be beat for speaking Gaelic and when my Nan was younger she was literally taught to “speak English” or more “proper”, meaning getting rid of the accent. Another example are the deep rooted stereotypes that still exist today about Scottish people, that all of them are “violent”, “angry”, “loud”, “drunk”, “savages”, “barbarians”, “not feminine” I could go on.. but these type of things are so common and they’ve been taught for so long that it is impossible not to think of the Scot’s like that and yes, some people may not be thinking of it as “not that deep” when in reality it is because they just aren’t funny and they make people look at us as if were some sort of joke, like our accents are always the butt of the joke or something. My mum has experienced things as simple as a dirty look whenever she gets a bit loud of says something in a strong accent and even on one occasion, an officer in the army telling my dad to “control his wife” after she refused to sing God save the King, as if she were “out of control” or something. All of these things are some sort of oppression and even though they aren’t as severe as they were before, they are still a thing.

I could go on about this topic for hours talking about other things like when talking about being Scottish, they always end up being the butt of the joke whether that be making fun of the accent, making fun of the bagpipes, the traditional dress. I live in England and I have a lot of friends who tend to do these things subconsciously and I wouldn’t hold it against them but I think it does need to be spoken about more and spoken about where it comes from and why it could be quite offensive. I’m so sorry to ramble on but a quick thing to point out is the fact that just becuase I want to spread the history of oppression of the Scot’s, it does not mean that I deny their involvement in the British colonialism of other countries and the involvement in the slave trade, i am aware it happened and are embarrassed and ashamed of the Scottish people who did that and I do consider them to be a “traitor” to Scotland but I just want to make my country’s history known and how they did suffer without people comparing or disregarding as something not that important or not as bad, yes some Scot’s did awful things and were involved willingly with British colonialism etc but it should not shrug off the suffering they went through as a country themselves.

I am sorry I couldn’t speak more for the Welsh or Irish but I didn’t want to then speak about their history and get it wrong. 🫶

Planned Break

I’ll be going on a 3 week vacation to the UK starting early next week, so I won’t be posting much until mid October! I’m sure I’ll be doing reblogs here and there, maybe some text posts but art from me will be scarce. Feel free to keep the asks coming though! I’ll either answer them without art, or answer with art when I return home:)

I just wanted to let yall know! And thank you all for the support on all the CaldiaxKiller and Vinn content. I’m not one to put myself out there like that for fan stuff, but you guys are so lovely and have been so supportive. 💕 Thank you Thank you!

Forever: The Double Edged Sword

Summary To a centuries old immortal man like Lord Hotchner time doesn't hold meaning. Only the sword, and keeping his head. But what about his foolish heart? Why can't he stop it from falling for mortal souls? From breaking? Because here is, counting every agonizing second since Spencer got shot. Desperate for him to wake. Teaser Time. Minutes, hours and days. It's been a long while since Lord Hotchner has contemplated the concept of the clock. How it affects those around him. Mortal souls unaware of what he is. How old he is beyond the facade of a man in his forties. Why he moves on looking the same, defiant of age. Always. Living by a far different schedule than they do… must, since they have no time to waste. No, they live in the now. By the clock. Changing with the years and with age. Living through so many firsts. Adventures. Lovers. Children. Oh, the joy of those!

They are the kind of memories he's long ago left behind in his so extensive past. Some of which he has forgotten, others he will always cherish despite the pain held within. Yeah, his first grey hairs discovered are also his last ones to grow out. His firstborn son lies dead and buried, so his many times down grandchildren can run around in a changed world. In a century when the new land America isn't that anymore to the people around him. When they, unlike him, can but read about the Mayflower or the Civil War or past presidents in books…

i was finally able to recreate the first love of my horsegirl life ingame today... :')

[byberbunk2069]

The ending of Killing Moon with Johnny's talk about the clock ticking feels like a great cliffhanger bit for the end of a hypothetical Cyberpunk TV show from 1995.

after 22 episodes the protagonist says goodbye to their one shot at a definitive cure and all they got left is Hanako Arasaka at Embers.

Do they go to Embers? Who knows! There's a brief reunion with the less successful cast members who now survive by doing convention appearances.
