#and he breaks up with Q

[yourbuerokrat2]

Toy

Something to be used, played with and then thrown away.

For the first few times Q had played with his capitaine he had thought that his human would be just that to him.

When he had first started their romantic relationship although Picard had refused to acknowledge it as such, he had thought it would be a nice distraction.

A game.

So why was he the one who ended up being thrown away?

The one who was met with 'I have had enough of you' and cold, disinterested eyes?

Why was he the one who felt like a toy?

I have no clue if this is an underserved niche for realsies or just to me, but.

need more fics of James Bond breaking into Q's flat. but not just for, like, to force Q to stitch him up or to proposition him or whatever. But just to hang out lol. Like full on, "new stray cat that showed up one day and I guess I have another cat now?" He is just there to hang out maybe nap and sometimes bother Q's cats and also Q himself. and also eat his food. But at least he also *brings* food too, and, idk, sometimes he cooks? so I guess that's.... okay...? (<- Q trying to justify this to himself lmao)

Q is suddenly like. I guess I kind of have a roommate now that isn't fully a roommate cuz he doesn't really live here all the time except maybe he might as well do? lowkey I do still picture Bond disappearing at night, like, he doesn't stay the night. at least at first. very much the way a visiting cat/new friendly stray on the block would.

And then one day (night). Q has some emergency to take care of or sth and is working late, but ig it's not so bad that he can't work from home about it. And he stumbles out of his home office to go to his kitchen. and stops dead in his tracks cuz. there is James Bond, conked out on his sofa, one cat on his chest the other like, almost sitting on his head. Q, befuddled,. just goes to his linen closet and gets an extra blanket and covers him properly (and tucks him in) cuz the throw blanket is okay, but like throw blankets tend to be, lowkey on the smaller side, so like. tuck him in and make him comfy

and then Bond becomes more and more of "guess you are *my* cat now?"

and also at some point they get together, too, I guess, lol. But I think somehow they end up in bed together (literally in bed together) first, before it progresses to that point lol

friendly reminder that Neteyam is a well-adjusted kid who has a good relationship with his parents, that he tries his darnedest to be a good warrior because he genuinely looks up to his dad and wants to be like him, and that the idea that Jake and Neytiri are "forcing" him to be perfect, that they "stole his childhood" or that he's "not allowed" to be a kid, etc. are all pure fanfiction with little to no evidence in canon thanks bye

oh q!tubbo is soooo ignoring the red flags and weirdness bc he just wants to cling to this little bit of normality he has got back. he has seen that the weather is too perfect, the server too calm and quiet, its all off, but he's ignoring it bc he's happy to just have a normal day. even jokingly begging q!bagi to not ruin this perfect normal he has. but he knows something is off, and ultimately asks q!bagi to tell him what she finds, bc he'd rather know that not know.

he just wants one day of peace. even if there is something darker behind it.

if they commit to the Damian becoming some type of doctor storyline, it would be the perfect reason for Damian to become closer to Harley, a psychiatrist, and study under her. i think this would be soo beneficial for him because so far iirc he’s been with the league and his dad, which have opposing ideologies, but having him hang around and learn from someone who doesnt operate in a black and white mode but instead in a million shades of gray is gonna do awesome things for his character

the way me and vege guy had a catfight at the con over kaihen... he was like "I think the wizards are supposed to represent tech lords" and I was nodding my head like "yeah I agree I think the wizards are supposed to be the bourgeoisie" and he got upset and went "you're not listening to me" and I'm like what??? I'm literally agreeing with you??? are tech lords not a subset of the bourgeoisie!! and he was like yeah well I think the way the wizards interface with the world is SPECIFICALLY very scientific, like they actually understand how "magic" works on a deep level and THAT'S why they're like tech lords. And I'm like brotherrr the bourgeoisie literally tore down the power of the church in europe because they needed science (frowned upon by the church) in order to actually develop industry. of course they're science-coded cmonnnn I AM listening to you. YOU'RE not listening to ME

[halfbaked00q]

hey do you guys here know about fingers in my mouth (fimm) friday? or is that more contained to spnblr. anyways. Bond would be down for being a fimmf guy, esp if it came to Q, I think

ok but the thought of the code actually glitching to break Etoiles armor hits hard though. these monsters are literally made up of code, they can glitch appearances, glitch items - of course they glitched his armor.

besides that, it's an ultimate blow to his character.

he's upheld his expectations as the islands greatest warrior, their defender. with this comes not just that responsibility, but a sort of respect for who/what he's been fighting off. the codes he's grown so used to. if he were to ever lose, he'd expect it to be from exhaustion. from being physically unable to lift himself up and fight anymore, because there would be no other way he would not stand and fight - but he loses without being given a chance to win. the code messes with Etoiles’ own player coding to unnaturally break his armor, giving a dirty death to someone who fights with duty and honor.

it wasn't fair, and that's the entire point, it was never going to be fair. like how they psychologically fucked with him using fake Pomme before, and almost won - this was never a fight to see who could win. it was a fight to ensure that he would lose. he’s reminded of something important - that he can bleed, and he can die.

this island doesn't play fair, and he can't shoulder the weight of the world on his own. a single shield will never be enough to protect a whole village. and now he's lost the actual shield, the one thing he could use to protect them all.

the loss leaves him without protection, both feeling guilty failing as the guardian of the island, and unsatisfied, because how can he say he truly got a chance to beat the challenge? there is no satisfaction in this loss, no way to come to terms with his failure, because it wasn’t done on an even playing field.

it’s hardly a consolation, knowing his loss was unnatural, unfair, because it’s a loss he could not afford. not only did he lose the shield, but he learned that there are moves that are unfair and unnatural that he can’t fight against. how’s he meant to fight something that can influence his own coding, especially without the shield that gave him the chance to fight in the first place? how’s he meant to protect the island, when he can’t protect himself?

15-1, G fuckin G
