#apartment they're staying at

[bumblingbabooshka]

Sarek & Amanda’s First Date: Let’s meet up after work. Do you want to get a drink? This bar’s a bit loud. Do you want to chill at a coffee shop? Sure, sure. Let’s take a walk around, stretch our legs. Look at that view! Let’s sit on a bench for a while. It’s gotten pretty late, do you want to grab something to eat? Does this place have Vegan options? Is this kosher? No, let’s try this place...this place...oh, perfect! Let’s take another walk, that was a hefty meal. Have you ever been to -? Have you ever -? Oh my house is pretty close by. Do you want to see that movie? No, it’s terrible, don’t worry. Do you like-? Do you like-? God, sorry I fell asleep. No no it’s fine, don’t go out in this weather - this late...you can sleep on the couch if you want to be all proper but I’ll sleep on the floor if you do. Good morning. Do you want breakfast? I don’t have anything in the fridge, do you mind if we head to the store? By the way you’ll never believe what she-! Ugh, this song-! Do you know how to cook? Haha, rich boy. Here, let me show you...well I only know the very basics. I just wanted to tease you. Do you need to be going soon? Oh good, I wanted to go see a museum with you. But let’s get coffee first. Tell me about-! Tell me about-! It’s already the afternoon, huh? Hey, they’re doing something in the park! Let’s stay and watch for a little. Have you been to that place? It’s Vulcan run but I’ve never tried...oh, it’s good! By the way I have to do some shopping for my sister, do you want to come along? You don’t have to. No, I want you to. That’s a marvelous necklace. For me? Haha oh no it’s way too much! Fine, but you have to get one too. Right? So let’s get something simpler...is it too much if they match? Ah, it’s raining! It’s fine, just run! Haha we’re soaked. Do you want to take a shower? No, not together~! It looks like it’s gonna pour the rest of the day. Does it storm on Vulcan? Tell me about-! Let’s order something and play cards. Let’s try to eat in silence but I’ll giggle the whole time. Sarek, do you know how to play music? Let’s make music. Let’s fall asleep together, leaning against the couch. I want to open my eyes and see you first thing. Good morning. Good morning. Do you have work today? Come meet me right after, okay? Okay. I’ll be waiting!

i love the drama of saw behind the scenes, they almost drowned leigh, cary actually got stuck in his chain + accidentally cut himself with the hacksaw, one of the camera operators concussed himself during the razor wire trap, tobin got stepped on multiple times + got stuff thrown at him, james was having a breakdown over not getting the right shots, the set was being dismantled around them, shawnee had the flu during her interrogation scene, i could go on

sometimes i think about an AA universe where Edgeworth didn't have to be shuffled off every 5 seconds so he could maintain credibility as a rival....where Phoenix didn't have to win every case...yes AA is a game yes i understand why it did that for the narrative. but when I look at those lonely scared 24 year olds from AA1 i can't help but think that their version of a happy ending would be to be able to get used to each other. to face each other over stupid cases and small things. Sometimes one winning, sometimes the other, until it hardly matters anymore, all that matters is finding the truth together. I want them to take each other for granted!!! i want them to look at the other across the courtroom and say "time to face this bitch for the hundredth time i guess!!" these poor bastards have never had anything approaching emotional stability before let them have each other damn it

Timeskip fukutora ramblings based on this post I made a few weeks ago:

To save money they cut each other's hair at home. Tora's is easy, especially since he stopped bleaching the mohawk after highschool, but Fukunaga's is more of a challenge. One time Tora cuts it so poorly that it's a borderline-bowl cut, just awful. To make matters worse this happens right before one of Fukunaga's stand-up shows. Instead of getting pissy Fukunaga embraces the situation and incorporates it into his set, which ends up being a hit with the audience. Despite that Tora's still apologizing for weeks.

Since Fukunaga's not a big talker (with the exception of when he's on stage) he brings an assortment of instruments and noisemakers to cheer for Tora at his volleyball games. Cowbells, airhorns, thundersticks, hand clappers, drums, maracas, a kazoo, you name it. The rest of the team—unaware that he's Tora's partner—are always pointing him out as the crazy guy in the stands with a one-man-band. Tora's both mortified and deeply endeared by it.

The first time Kenma visits their apartment he's horrifed by how scuffed it is—cardboard boxes everywhere, a severe lack of furniture, no utensils expect for two pairs of take-out chopsticks?? At this point he's already making bank off streaming so he orders them a bunch of stuff without asking ("Seriously guys, you've been living here for however-many months and don't have a kitchen table??" "We like to eat on the floor.")

Fukunaga works part-time at a hibachi restaurant and sometimes Tora swings by just to talk to him. He usually stays way too long and ends up getting kicked out; the only reason he's not fully-banned is cause he orders a shit ton of meat every time he visits.

Later on when they're both relatively successful Tora's teammates find out he's dating someone and bother him endlessly about introducing them. When he finally caves and brings Fukunaga along for after-practice drinks they're all like "That. That's Shohei Fukunaga. The famous comedian. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU'RE DATING A LITERAL CELEBRITY." Tora genuinely had no idea that Fukunaga was that well-known since he's so normal to him

this scene alone in the potion notion makes it my fav so far in the third season of mmpr - and it makes me wish we had way more skull and kim interactions 🥺 like what do you mean she's going to be leaving soon after this ??

but also i love adam because bro really came up to tommy with a stick of celery and a dream. he doesn't even try to be funny. he just is

A horrible, uncomfortable little laugh bubbles in his chest as this chunk of his magnetic tape heart pulls away from the rest, as his wet eyes search Jon's eyes and eyes and eyes, their two figures framed by those still, silent wings. Of course it was always going to lead to this. Perhaps there won't be anything left of him, by the time Jon is finished. Perhaps Jon already started devouring him the moment they first crossed paths all those years ago. He holds out the piece in his bloody palm, nothing more than a dark tangle still attached by a few strands, and takes a slow, shaky breath. "Take it."

Divorce Saga Domon - A Haunted Honk Prequel

Hello Internet Stranger looking up G Gundam on Tumblr dot com!

This is an idea for a fic set in an Alternate Universe involving Queer Non-Canon Relationships between the characters of the series.

If you are not looking for this content please scroll on.

If you ARE looking for this content - and you're ok with reading my and other's Headcanons for this Alternate Universe I've haphazardly spun up -

--------------------------------------

Ended up outlining a completely different fic as a Segway for an explanation instead of making progress on the Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU's Clown Motel Fic like I wanted to but uh....

For y'all's review for the AU: A Prequel Outline - Divorce Saga Domon

--------------------------------------

Hey real quick - I'm thinking of maybe changing the timeline to 2 years post canon as opposed to 3 years and change post canon.

The reason being: I had a thought that this scene could either be part if the fic or if it's getting to big then it could be a stand alone tie-in prequel fic as part of this AU but - like

Immediately Post Divorce Domon Needs Space and runs off. As one does. And he runs to Earth because he just wants to Get Lost for a while.

He has Argo smuggle him out to avoid detection.

Argo has Andrew help stow Domon in a storage hanger of a Neo Canadian supply ship that's returning to the US - they have trade often enough and share agricultural resources - which leads to Domon ending up in New York when he hits Earthside pavement.

He's privately worked on his English the last couple of months and after being dropped in New York with a different hairstyle, outfit, and accent he's unrecognizable. 

He considers making his way west to get some solitude in the wilderness, but something about that initial plan feels off now that he's on the ground.

Chibodee is also Earthside for a special series of prize fights aimed at raising charitable appeal for the US in the eyes of Neo Americans.

Domon decides to hit up Chibodee for a fight on a day between matches hoping it'll clear his head and give him the clarity to decide on a course of action. What ends up happening is an unexpected heart to heart via blows and a breakdown.

Domon is happy for Rain and Kyoji, and he knows it's not true; but he feels like he lost a piece of himself when his relationship with Rain fell apart.

Domon's instinct is to run after that but Chibodee knows this city and Domon doesn't hide out for long before Chibodee drags him back to his place to stay and just "Chill out and breathe. You don't have to be anyone but yourself here. You can take as long as you need to find out what everything changing means for you." Friends and teammates stick together.

So Domon spends a few weeks with Chibodee sparring and hanging out in New York. Chibodee does a frankly awesome job at containing his feelings because he's focusing on Domons feelings and being a good friend first and foremost. Whatever he's feeling can wait until after Domon is done going though it.

There's a bit of a twinge in Domon's heart as he leaves that he can't really place.

After he returns to Neo Japan and gets settled back into life with his family, The Dreams start.

They're mainly set in New York. Small things first like noticing Chibodee's smile and his eyes. Then sparring sessions that begin to turn lurid.

He thought these kinds of dreams would stop after he was married.... he doesn't know what to do about this.

I just figure it gives more clarity and sense of time for the journey from Comphet Marriage Dissolution to Feelings to Confession. Idk.

But I got stuck on a bit and then had this thought and needed to get it down before I lost it and it was so long it made sense to make it its own post as opposed to several replies.

The Maize and Clown Motel will probably still be 3 years and change post canon for clarification.

Gen V really missed the opportunity to make Luke/Cate/Andre a (closeted) throuple instead of that dumb cheating plot

If season 2 were about El and Mike fighting to get back to each other they wouldn't have had El almost not come back.

If it were about Mike and El fighting to come back to each other, it wouldn't have been a decision whether or not should we would.

But she almost stayed in Chicago. And they made a point of her saying she went back for all of her friends, not just him, and for Hopper. She went back for Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Hopper. It was played as big and loving. But it wasn't played as romantic. That wasn't her reasoning and missing Mike wasn't enough to bring her back in the first place.

In the first few episodes of the season, she fights with Hopper about not being able to see Mike. But as the season progresses, we find it isn't about that. It's about not being able to leave. She goes to Chicago and almost doesn't come back. There is a full stand alone episode about her maybe not coming back and she ALMOST STAYS.

If it were some big romantic payoff of their reunion, they would have simply had an obstacle they had to fight to overcome - like Hopper or the monsters or something. But instead, Mike was hoping she was alive and El was considering letting him come to terms with her death and living out her days with her sister in Chicago.

El almost never saw Mike again. It was a very close decision. She changed her mind last minute. It's valid and it remains loving, but in trope simply put...it isn't romantic.

"I almost never came back to you but I changed my mind" in the context of being separated against your will? Isn't romantic.

And similar is true in their separation in seasons 3 AND 4. She does not reach out after her time with Max. Granted maybe she would have, it was a short time, I will give that. But then she didn't get back together with him until the end of the epilogue to our knowledge. She did not run back to him in grief in need of comfort. She did not get back together with him for the familiarity even in that, she got back together with him to keep a piece of Hawkins. Her priorities would not have been the same of "wait and see if he says it" - and he could have done that in a relationship too, as we saw was an arc for him in season 4. Once again, she waited until the last minute - even almost walking away and leaving for Lenora - before coming back to him at the last possible second.

In season 4, then, she did not include him in her plans when escaping NINA. She only noted Max and her friends. Really, this re-established her priorities from season 2. Her intention was to return to all of her friends, to return to Hawkins, and to help her loved ones out of danger. Not to return specifically to him. When he was out of the equation, he was skipped over. She and Mike had a bad fight. And she still loved him just like she still loved her brothers who were also not mentioned, but her focus was only verbalized as being on Max and Hawkins. The original intention of her leaving was for Owens to take her back to Hawkins. She had zero knowledge that her family and Mike (and Argyle) were coming to get her. She thought they were back at the house in Lenora and that she was going straight to Hawkins and would call them once it was all finished. We have no knowledge that she was going to make a pitstop - unlikely given the stakes and distance between Nevada and Lenora.

In season 2, El almost stayed in Chicago. In season 3, El almost stayed broken up with Mike. In season 4, El almost went back to Hawkins without them - this decision being out of her control when it was changed.

Each and every time they are separated, El only makes the decision to reunite with Mike last minute after seeming to have intended to stay apart from him. Their reunions are always so sweet. But they are never her goal.

She came back for Will.

She came back in her grief over Hopper and leaving Hawkins.

She came back for Max.

The key question ever time she reunites with Mike is: does the story stop there? Or does she do something very important next?

Mike always a sweet stop on her way to her goal. He is never "the point". He is a part of her life as many other people are. But he is not her life and he is not why she comes back.

oh fack.... just had my biweekly reminder that jonathan has only ever wanted to protect will from harm, offer him a safe space, and encourage him to love what he loves without shame, and it's all of that which literally saves will's life and keeps him safe when he's in the upside down and later in the shed scene.... will singing "should i stay or should i go" his favorite song which jonathan first showed him... will hiding out in castle byers which jonathan built with/for him.... the song then helping to give will an opening to take back enough control for him to speak to his family in morse code... the shadow monster + vecna + lonnie all symbolizing forced conformity vs jonathan protecting will from that time and time again by being there for him, seeing him, and loving him as he is... jonathan carries so much guilt because he feels like he's never there when will needs it most, but it's his love for will that kept will alive.... he feels like it's his fault that will was kidnapped, that he should've been there for him that night and onward, but he was there for him! he was with him the whole time, helping and protecting him as he always has!!! when stranded alone in a world so dark and so cold and full of monsters, will used the tools his brother had given him to protect himself... i just... they're so... 🥺 THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUUUUUCH 😭😭😭😭

A Princess and her Parents when they were in middle school (for some timey whimey reason)

Still trying to figure out a good name for her as the placeholder has always been Hana (from ranhanakamakiri like Himeno's surname). So far a good alternative is Cela from Celastrina serotina, the cherry gall azure butterfly which is a carnivorous species of butterflies that feed on mites. There's also the Feniseca tarquinius which is of the orangey-yellow variety which fits as they feed on aphids. I'd use the purple emperor (apatura iris) but its name is already being used as part of another OC's name and is the child of HimeRitaMorf.

When Chase gets back home after his year in Europe, he suddenly has to face the same dilemma as Chloe had to when she first joined the school.

Yeah, he has his sister, but suddenly it's not them against the world anymore. On his trip he grew and found the version of himself he knew he wanted to be, but he didn't make any long lasting connections.

Chloe has also changed from the person he was so nervous about leaving behind. From someone so stuck in her shell and desperate to just exist in peace to the leader of the school and everyone's friend until proven otherwise- it's like they don't need each other anymore.

But just when it feels like the world is falling out from under him and he's starting to lash out, he's gently kidnapped by Sakura. She remembers what it was like when she thought that Nishan had left her behind, and how much of a relief it had been to find out that he still wanted her around. After a few rounds of Smash and some gentle bullying, she sends him out to talk to his twin.
