#James Bond Quartermaster

[ohmsservice]

Happy Birthday, Quartermaster. James is on his way!

[ohmsservice]

A Quartermaster shares his innermost feline-ings.

"Your cat doesn't love you the way you love him." Okay, so? Is that supposed to change anything? Because I don't recall love needing to be the same to be impactful.

My cat may not be able to understand exactly what I mean when I ask him if he missed me when I get home, but he will stand by my feet, being real brave about my mighty boots, meowing up a storm. When I pick him up after taking off my coat he will usually be purring, often sniffing me or nuzzling into my hair.

I might not always love it when he bats his paw at me out of nowhere, but I knew there had to be a reason. After looking up his behavior I realized it was because he wanted to play, and play with me specifically. Afterwards we often cuddle.

We were at home during a house fire. When I found out I instantly grabbed him. I told him as I grabbed his scruff for the first and only time that I wasn't leaving without him. Since then I always make sure to give him his favorite scritches and softly talk to him after loud noises. Meanwhile he has gotten good at telling when I'm having an episode with my PTSD.

We don't love the same, but we don't need to. He loves me the way I need him to, and I can only hope I do the same. Neither of us are perfect, despite us both claiming he is. He treats me like his cat family and I treat him like he's my toddler son. It work for us.

I love my cat.

“Can I interest you in an exploding marmalade sandwich?”

[saphic-with-t]

Something I just realized:

Kristen has Fig as her Paladin/knight

Adaine has Fabian as her “champion of the oracle”

All we need now is for Gorgug to become the Quartermaster to Riz’s 007.

Rewatch of spectre got me thinking about him

[ohmsservice]

Daniel Craig. You’re welcome.

James Bond x Archer incorrect quotes

[ohmsservice]

Perfect Skyfall shots.

“Q. He’s gone.”

But Bond is in his place, already trapped in the glass cage of the Quartermaster’s mind.

Gonna miss these three

Part I, Part II

[pommedepersephone]

I'll hazard I can do more damage on my laptop sitting in my pajamas before my first cup of Earl Grey than you can do in a year in the field.

How it started and how it ended. With Q proving he was telling the absolute truth.

Inkpot Gods - The Amazing Devil

"Have you left?"

"No. Um... I'm not gonna make it. I have to hold open the silo doors."

"No, no, no, just jam something in it and get off the island. I know you can do this."

"Q.."

"No. I’ll find you a way out, just like always."

"Listen to me, Q.."

"There must be a way. We just need more time! If, if I had more time, I could--"

"It’s alright, Q. It’s alright. You’ll be alright."

"For Christ’s sake, James--"

"Q.."

"I’m sorry. God, I'm so sorry.."

"Have I ever told you? That day in the gallery, despite all those masterpieces, despite that hideous jacket you were wearing... you were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

"James.."

"You saved me that day, darling, and every wretched day since."

"..."

"I love you, Q."

"I love you, too."
