#I can’t help that they love each other

[hotmessmaxpress]

More rosquez a/b/o au thoughts because I haven’t mentioned Alex in this au yet and I love him

It takes Alex a few months to finally agree to visit Marc at the ranch.

He’s still not sold on the idea of being in Tavullia, much less in Vale’s presence, but he has adjusted to the reality at this point that his big brother is, in fact, permanently mated to the skinny Italian.

Alex is happy for him. He really is. He’s happy that his brother is no longer suffering. Every time they FaceTime (daily) Marc is shining with happiness and contentment. Alex knows that is all due to Vale and his pack.

Still. Alex hasn’t totally gotten over how much he wanted to kill Vale. Vale may have fixed things, but he’s responsible for the amount of suffering Marc endured. He was the cause, and solving that problem doesn’t erase that he caused it.

When he gets to the ranch and sees his brother, he’s put at ease. Marc is just so fucking happy that it completely (for the time being) erases Alex’s reservations. Marc bounces up to him, already babbling about the pack and the bikes and Vale.

Alex wraps his arms around his brother, and Marc squeezes him around the waist and tucks his face against his neck. They stand there like that for a long moment, breathing each other in.

They’ve talked so frequently, but there’s something entirely different about being able to see and hold and smell each other. Alex knows his brother as well as he knows himself and he can tell that he’s truly happy. He takes a deep breath and relaxes.

Marc gives him a whirlwind tour of everything, and awkwardly reintroduces him to some of the pack members.

Alex hasn’t seen Luca since yelling at him in the paddock during Marc’s bite crisis, and Luca seems almost as if he’s trying too hard to welcome him. Alex takes pity on him and greets him happily.

Pecco and Franky take polite interest in him, and Celestino treats him as if they are already friends; he has boundless enthusiasm for Alex being able to visit Marc, and he tells Alex so. Bezz is less enthusiastic to see him, but Alex assumes it’s probably out of a sense of protectiveness for Vale and not necessarily because of any hard feelings he has toward Alex.

They all have lunch together, Alex sharing a bench with Marc and, surprisingly, Bezz. Vale still hasn’t joined them, and Alex wonders if that’s intentional.

He’s not exactly excited to see Vale again. No matter how happy his pack has made Marc, Alex hasn’t forgiven him.

When they finally run into each other, it’s outdoors after lunch. Everyone is tired and sluggish from the heat, and lazing around in the shade.

Marc and Alex are sharing a lounger, and Vale approaches them tentatively. Alex watches as Marc positively lights up, tilting his face toward Valentino for a quick kiss.

Marc is as in love with Vale as he has always been, but what surprises Alex is how in love Valentino is with Marc. Alex briefly wonders how Valentino gets anything done with the way he watches Marc. He stares lovingly at him, smiling and laughing and entirely focused on him.

Alex isn’t sure what he was expecting, but he’s happy and relieved to see how well taken care of his brother is.

ik people are saying in-ho & gi-hun are like the new hannigram but what if it’s reverse hannigram? i just can’t really see gi-hun switching sides and joining the side of the games he’s been trying so hard to take down, he wouldn’t be able to get over the deaths of the people he cared about like that, right…? but what if in-ho takes gi-hun’s side in the end instead?? the front man steps down and works against the games???

Prompt 301

Ellie, during one of her stints of what do I do with my life right now, decides to, with the help of her Original Dad-Person (Look he’s aging and she’s not and it gets less questions the older he gets if he says daughter instead of sister with how the Fentons are getting older too) creates a Boo-Tube channel. No, not a Youtube channel, those are stuck to a single dimension.

Bootube on the other hand? Due to being through the Realms (and wow is Tucker getting so much income from creating it) is interdimensional. Which is so cool honestly. And she doesn’t know what to do at first, and honestly there’s already so many travel blogs that she kind of just… decided to do something that she wished someone had done for her and her brothers and Danny when she was new to the world. 

So she creates the channel CAAW: Clone Awareness, Accommodations, and Welfare. They had to learn things through trial and error, but maybe she can help someone out there learn how to find their own selves, or even help someone not melt.

Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but

considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill

Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"

But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.

They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.

It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.

I don't know I just think it's particularly neat

Something I’ve noticed for awhile is that I often get comments from people about how they are surprised how I always come up with theories and try to guess what might happen and they “could never do that” themselves. I want to say: yes you can! There’s honestly a shortage of Nevermoor theories and ideas and speculation and etc and I want to see MORE!!!

Want to talk about how Morrigan’s mom is actually secretly alive? How the Scholar Mistresses are a Wundrous Act? Do you think the Tempus Divinity looks like an owl, or do you think Weaving and Ruination would be met together? Or have you ever thought about how this one line, from Chapter 19 of Nevermoor, about Betram Crow actually means he was a Cursed Child? Whatever it is you want to talk about: GO FOR IT!!!

I personally find it very fun to go sort of “English class mode” and look at the text in front of me and think about what different things might mean and analyze it and even overthink it to an unnecessary (but fun!) amount. But that’s just me and how I like to approach things! You don’t need to make long posts and quote specific lines if that isn’t your style. The big thing to remember is that so much can happen in the next six books, so throw any idea out there! You never know what twists and turns will be thrown at us. I think it’s fun to share these ideas and discuss with other people— sure, maybe there’s just something you missed when reading, but perhaps some new ideas spawn might from it. Some speculation could even serve as inspiration for fics!

There are some theories and thoughts that I’ve posted that have been “debunked” when I reread a book, or when someone pointed out something, or even just when something had a real-world basis that I as an American didn’t catch. But it was still fun to think about it all, and there’s some bits and pieces that I see as notable and worth considering. I think most of the Silverborn Masterpost is going to be “wrong”, but if just 1% of it is “correct”, even indirectly, I will take that as a win. I know it feels like during the hiatus everyone’s talked about everything, but I hope that the incoming communal reread (fingers crossed) and obviously Silverborn brings some speculation back to the fandom because I want to discusssssss!

i literally have the bestest friends ever. like of all time

Buck deserves a love confession that isn’t inspired by him being put in danger. Buck deserves a love confession that doesn’t come out of a life or death situation.

Eddie deserves a love confession that comes from him wanting to, not feeling like he has to. Eddie deserves a love confession where it feels natural and he doesn’t struggle to explain himself.

They both deserve a love confession that is domestic and warm and RIGHT for all the right reasons.

No but seriously, Doctor Who in a nutshell goes like “we’re gonna make you adore this idiot in his blue box and his (girl)friend and we’re going to give you mutual pining and existential longing and just enough fluff to keep you hooked but we’re gonna keep upping the trauma ante as the episodes progress until we get to the finale and then BANG we’re gonna traumatize you so bad you’ll rethink all your life decisions but we’ll keep you hooked to the show regardless and then do exactly the same thing to you in the next season.”

Being a Doctor Who fan is great.
