#Joe Dawson

[149panda149]

when you love characters so much you try to climb inside them to become them. you pick up their strange personality quirks and their lopsided smirks and you try and fail to knit the sweater they wear most often and to play the piano piece that they comfort themselves with. you twirl the piece of hair at the base of your neck and use antiquated turns of phrases and teach yourself how to waltz in the darkness of your bedroom. you swirl an imaginary cape and sprawl bonelessly and draw their tattoos over your arms. and one day you look at yourself and you are an amalgamation of of the fictional people you love. they live through you, and will always be with you, and in that way, they are real.

Chapter Three sneak preview, "The Magic Within"

Tori was keeping her mind preoccupied by beating on a punching bag to give in to sleep, contrary to what Richie was doing. She had a hard time sleeping because she had been thinking about Duncan and the time he was under the influence of the Dark Quickening.

Richie wasn't faring any better. As a matter of fact, he was the one who was nearly beheaded by his own teacher. He felt betrayed and realized this was a part of the game. Tori managed to keep him together to some extent. He had taken heads of some immortals, but she had managed to cool him off when he was at his worst. There was no telling what could have happened if Tori was not there with him, trying her best to keep him at bay before he could do something he would truly regret.

One final swift kick knocked the bag off the chain, causing it to land on the floor. Tori panted as she looked down at it.

Suddenly, it turned into Ming. She screamed, throwing herself onto him and beating it roughly.

“Go ahead and kill me, but what good will it do for you?”

Tori paused and stepped back. Felicia uttered those words to her before she took her head, leading to her first Quickening.

She had Duncan and the whole situation on her mind, and remembered the conversation she and Richie had with Joe before they left Seacouver.

A Year Ago

“He was going to do it,” Richie told Joe, “he was going to take my head.”

“He probably would have done so had it not been for you,” Tori added, “and Mac probably would have taken my head too after that. He was ruthless.”

“You knew he couldn't help it,” Joe tried assuring them.

Tori took a deep breath, trying to believe it. If this was a Dark Quickening as the myth had it, chances were Duncan was corrupted.

On the other hand, Richie shook his head, “If you weren't there, I'd be dead.”

“But that wasn't Duncan MacLeod,” Joe insisted.

“You knew the hell it was it,” Richie interjected, “where is he now?”

“Yeah Joe,” Tori added, “where is MacLeod?”

“He's halfway to Europe,” Joe answered. She couldn't make out what he said to them before that, but that was all they needed, especially Richie.

“Look, Richie, Tori,” Joe glanced at his two immortal friends, “you guys might want to spend some time on holy ground. Sort all this out.”

“Seriously?” Tori slightly scoffed.

“Sort this out,” Richie rolled his eyes, “oh man, the guy I trusted.....”

“We trusted,” Tori added in.

“He tried to kill us,” Richie continued.

“Richie,” Joe began.

“No,” Richie interrupted, “the reason doesn't matter. It was him. It was Duncan MacLeod. You know what's funny? All this time, I've been thinking all this whole 'There can be only one' thing, I'm thinking that's just talk. I'm thinking there's no way MacLeod would ever come for me, or Tori. I didn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.”

“A part of me felt the same way,” Tori nodded in agreement.

“Now,” Richie looked right at Joe, “now we do.”

He left the bar moments later. Tori had a plan in mind. She wasn't going to let Richie know just yet, or Joe for that matter.

She handed him a piece of paper.

“What's this?” Joe asked.

“My email,” Tori answered, “if Duncan MacLeod does happen to come around, let me know. Maybe then, hopefully, I can bring Richie around.”

“If there's anyone that can bring him around,” Joe smiled as he accepted the paper, “I'm pretty certain that would be you.”

All I wanted was for Joe to be allowed to use the F word, and by god, the Reunion gave it to us. I needed to make this gif. Nay, I needed to make two versions, one of which has his fist bump with the love of his life Methos.

So... I know it's been a million years since I've watched Highlander the Series, and I'm over it by now but I have to go into detail about what nonsense the two part finale was. This is about how ooc and absurd everyone was in Duncan's deadish fantasy so I will try not to drag him too much unnecessarily.

Let's start with Amanda, there is a big difference between a thief and a serial murderer. If she had not met Duncan and fallen in "love" with him would she have married a lot of rich men and stolen their money? Sure, why not. Would she have killed them? Not likely and the idea that Duncan singlehandedly saved her from being entirely evil is gross

Joe Dawson, you expect me to believe this man was so inspired by Duncan of all people/immortals that he just did not let the trauma of war effect him? If he never had the opportunity to stalk Duncan he would be homeless and an alcoholic? Ridiculous

Methos, now this guy used to be the absolute worst, the scum of the earth just for fun and to feel powerful, he changed, renounced violence and decided to live life hiding and minding his own business (note that realistically this change didn't happen over night, it took years of diligent hard work) and he did all of this without Duncan's influence. He is a thousand years old he knows that people die, he has been dealing with it for many lifetimes. Would he be so upset over the betrayal and death of his girlfriend that he just reverts back to being the worst? No. When his old friend with whom he used to commit atrocities found him and wanted to get back to it, would he just go along with it because he couldn't manipulate Duncan into killing him for him? No, he would fight and die trying or again run and hide, both of those outcomes would be more likely

Richie Ryan, his story almost made sense, I could buy that he with no other options continued his life of crime, got caught, ran, and died young without Duncan's influence. He could have become immortal and had to run from a bunch of bad guy immortals trying to kill him (but how likely is it really that no other decent immortal would see this poor young man, clueless and struggling and want to take him under their wing? as so many other immortals did for all of the other immortals in the show?) until he was taken in by some "nice" bad guy immortals (not Methos, as we've already established) and been further corrupted. the "nice" bad guy immortals could have asked him to kill an innocent person for their own agenda and Richie Might try but wouldn't be able to go through with it, however though Richie was a bit trusting and naive, he was not an idiot and would not have gone back to the "nice" bad guys after failing to fullfil such a request, he would have run again and if he had to have died again anyway (nonsense) they could have found and killed him later (no)

Tessa, don't even get me started on the horrible, gross, entirely appalling implication that it was better for her to have died young and having been loved by Duncan than to have gotten married and had children and lived because her husband was mean and she stopped making art (it was stated clearly and more than once she wanted children but gave up that dream for Duncan)

This is the trailer for the rest of the Season 4 arc of Defenders Chronicles Highlander, the endgame of the penultimate arc of this series, which will lead to the final season arc.
