Aurum didn't think he was a xenophobe but he did think that some species were too...delicate. They were too emotional, what with their snot and tears when things got to be too much. It was a terrible evolutionary trait to keep. Your telling others, friend and foe, that your currently vulnerable. A terrible sign of weakness.

Thank the heavens his species didn't have that.

And thank the heavens the two humans at the centre seemed to be the least delicate of their species. Why, what would they do if the children made them too emotional? They'd burst into tears surely!

The poor things.

'Speaking of them' he paused as he saw the two humans in the halls, arguing with someone. Rather...passionately, to the point where half the large hall was taken up by a crowd gathering to watch.

'Wouldn't want to miss a free show' he grinned to himself. How he loved drama.

The gist of the fight was a new co-worker of theirs was fired after they had reported them to the Calis, the first mate of the ship. The reason for was unknown but there were some theories about how it was about workplace bullying, the firee being bad at their job, or perhaps speciesism from the humans.

Aurum watched in glee as words were exchanged, some plain and boring, others witty and clever, with some having him along with the whole crowd gasping. He nodded to himself in approval of the human's cool headedness. If only all emotional species where like them.

Seeing as the argument was going nowhere Aurum decided to take his leave. But the gasping of the crowd drew him right back in. He pushed back to his ideal viewing spot and looked. The humans were acting strangely. One was crying and the other was laughing.

"What happened? Why are they crying why are they laughing?" he whispered.

"I don't know, they were arguing when the humans just...broke." whispered back another.

The humans spoke.

"You...you are the most infuriating being I have ever met...do you feed off all the bullshit you cause?" hissed Kim, tears slipping out from her eyes.

"Oh my god why are you like this? I pity your previous boss." giggles Max, his laughs not all cheery or joyful.

"What, what are you doing? Why are you crying? What's so funny??"

"I'm crying because I am so fed up with your bullshit that it is driving me to tears." seethes Kim. "Congratulations, you are now the second person to make me angry cry!"

"This...this is a new one for me...I've never laughed because of how angry someone made me." the laughs coming Max make Aurum grimace, they don't sound at all natural. It sounded even worse when the laughs turned wet and tears began to threaten to spill.

Aurum had always thought that tears were horrible. Not the emotions but tears. As they are a sign of weakness. A sign you are vulnerable. But watching these two...it was truly unsettling.

To not sob Kim had begun to whisper, her voice quiet but so full of rage. Max didn't care and simply continued with his current volume, allowing the tears to pour into his smirking, giggling mouth.

Their tears did not make Aurum think they are weak. Their tears made Aurum lean back from the horrifying combination of emotions. The quiet rage. The maniacal laughter.

He heard later that the fired co-worker was indeed rather terrible and left that very day with no more fighting or protests.

#humans are space orcs #humans are space oddities #the adventures of kim and max running a space child centre #so I just angry cried for the first time and damn it shut the other person down fast #like they were silent #also have laughed from anger because the absurdity of the other person just made me laugh #and i thought since you can cry from laughter and you can laugh from being angry why not maniacal angry laughter with a dash of tears #also we are finally getting rid of a co-worker who had made work utter hell #so whoop whoop #i like to think humans are more 'emotional' than other species simply bc we can cry and maybe bc we can feel more complex ones #or maybe bc we have monkey brain and react in a way that make other species uncomfortable when experiencing too much emotions #your choice

of fucking course the best, most harrowing, most gut-wrenching tugs character only appeared in one episode (a bit of ramble in the tags)

#this is tugs #tugs boomer #tugs sunshine #boomshine #<---- evil sinister laughter #fortezza bigg city #senjart #I think he's neat. I also think a bottle of antidepressants could help with whatever hes going through #okay I'm gonna talk for a bit about boomer (mostly about his canon counterpart rather than solely his fbc version)#boomer's character struck a deep chord within me that when rewatching jinxed while sleep deprived I got so scared #his depression? thoughts of sinking himself? claiming that he didn't want any help yet attempted to push just a bit longer when supported?#putting his worth on how useful he is as a machine first? an individual with selfism second? thus deeming himself as a lost cause?#and despite his jaded sardonic demeanor he genuinely cares about others and puts their safety before his own?#like mannnnnn come ON no wonder I couldnt stop thinking about him #his struggles as a clinically depressed person is.... so real?#he says ''I don't want any help'' but he clearly does want AND need help. he goes along with TC and sunshine's hijinks of helping him #gradually went from ''whats the point I'm gonna jinx it anyways'' to ''Ive tried so hard I really have but I cannot. I never had a chance''#he even went ''okay but don't toot'' to TC before his final job! he's entertaining TC and sunshine's theory! he really does want help!#boomer's whole character screams “I want to live but I don't know how”#and man oh man I feel like s01e10 reached out of the screen and drove a stake through my heart #because it's so visceral. it's rang true with my personal experiences #it's so sad. it's probably because I'm sleep deprived but I want to take care of that poor orange thing so badly #boomer most likely thought his final job to tow the schooner will end badly as usual but with how he sounds way more upset when he failed-#-and how he even went ''I can't be bothered to argue anymore''. I have a feeling there's a tiny speck of hope inside him-#-that quickly died out the moment lightning struck and he got towed by the fire chief #and of course he's upset. hes tried so many times to find a way to get rid of the jinx but now? it's as if he's given false hope-#-and the thought of the jinx leaving is something akin to a fairytale. as long as he bears the name ''boomer'' and not ''captain harry''-#-he is doomed to this constant cycle of messing things up when its not his own fault and having other point their fingers at him #that is until he got refurbished into a houseboat (essay material for another day)#theyre never going to write another anthro vehicle character like this anymore . sad

when will someone pick izzy up bridal style and spin him around? hm?

#it Would upset his tummy but i think he deserves a little holding. as a treat #to be cradled. and spun around with joy #(honestly to me i see this only working as bellhands i dont think izzy would let anyone else get away with it- maybe ed but. thin thin ice-#and i see izzy being too stressed about eds knee to get to unbridled laughter. so sam . hes just appeared; for the first time in a long #time. he sees izzy [they have a little reunion (depending on ~circumstances~ that could just be yelling affectionately at each other like #hey i haven't seen u in a year- or if its after faking his death i see sam getting punched. just a little) they get to kiss a bit etc etc]#then sam just. sweeps him up in his arms. izzy yells in shock and demands sam puts him down but sam just. holds him tighter and #spins him around in pure joy. and izzy laughs #(this; more than anything shocks the crew. they thought the rest of it was shocking- sam bellamy likes izzy???? theyre married???#people think positively about this man they all hate???? wtf wtf. izzy punched sam and got away with it?? the prince of pirates?????#but then izzy is laughing. and theyre astounded. they didn't think he was capable of that. maybe they never knew him at all)#djjdhdhdj ive been. thinking about this. A LOT. today so here #have a ramble about izzy (again)#if izzy not for cradling like lover; why small?#nyxtalks #ofmd #israel hands #izzy hands #bellhands #sam bellamy #i think i went off enough in the tags to quantify those fjdjnd

just got past the fairygrounds again and. do you think they forgot oliver almost mcfucking drowned because like. if i was an autistic 13 year old that got launched into a river out of a mountain-high cannon with confetti and a shitload of fairies yelling about it right after fighting a massive jellyfish i'd be freaking the hell out. like logically i know they probably couldn't have made that go done how it probably would have but Man

TRUEEEE i think level 5 forgot everything about oliver when they were making wotww. and i think everyone should go play dotdd

#this is hyperbole oliver's character is still done. well.#before i played dotdd i thought he was perfect and a really well done character and i still think the latter #but now that i have played dotdd.#he's just so much better in dotdd that now looking at wotww oliver it's like .................. you're TOO perfect.#like they filed him down. he's too nice.#and i think it really shows in the segments of wotww that aren't in dotdd (like the fairyground)#where they DO forget he'd probably have some kind of reaction to the river!#and while i LIKE the choice for him to leave drippy behind it feels a little weird to me #because if i imagine dotdd oliver doing it it doesn't feel right.#meanwhile during the dotdd arc that the fairyground replaced #oliver physically cannot contain his laughter at esther and swaine arguing after just making up five seconds ago #and it's SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER MOMENT because it does multiple things it first of all shows oliver falling in love with ni no kuni #and their journey #and second of all it shows he has a terrible poker face. which is a known character trait. he's blunt and can't lie to save his life.#anyway. my point is dotdd oliver >>>>>>>>>>>> wotww oliver #ask #sorry for the tags rant but it's typed in here now so i'm not putting it in the main body

so i poked around a little bit among the popular DA2 mods, for reasons I don't quite know myself, and um

how do we, uh. feel. about this.

because i think. i think we are feeling bad.

like i'm not a Fenris girlie, and i won't even mention the parts of this mod that make him human for some reason ("half-elf") or whatever, but this....

well this. is a thing for sure

#dragon age #fenris #i'm wheezing crying absolutely sobbing with laughter #this last shot is somehow both handsome squidward and “no bitches?” megamind #squirrel plays dragon age #i think i was trying to find that one anders face mod that i see everywhere and hate very much but as soon as i was reminded #of that one whitewashing isabela mod on the first page of the most popular mods i completely lost my train of thought #and then this came way out of left field #honestly me impersonally murdering him in my canon for the sake of narrative continuity isn't this insulting of the guy imo #(found the one i was looking for btw it's “always alluring anders”)#(i really hate that doughy face it gives him and it shows up in so many gifs and such my god)

VALID #so valid and real to see the child of your friends you knew at that age but who DIED and then see the friend who betrayed them #to see like the best of BOTH of them mirrored and living on in him and be like yknow what???? you WILL be protected frm that same fate #hoooo the briefest moment where harry might hope things will turn out okay. w sirius' name being cleared and peter having to explain himself #and sirius being like hey i get it if you want to stay w your family that is fine but. if you wanna move in w me...#(harry relaying this to hermione later as well. dreaming of a place fr just the two of them somewhere in the countryside #somewhere..... sirius might see the sky..... bc he thinks he would like that after all those years locked up do not even touch me rn.......)#only fr everything to turn to shit two friends fighting w deadly force. the chance to set this right slipping off into the night.#a million dementors descending relentlessly until utter exhaustion and certain death. some strange salvation? fight for a second chance?#but then still havign to say goodbye when they only just GOT this. and everything still being so. god. and lupin having to leave as well.#the thought of sirius also WANTING that guardian type connection but being forced to live in 1. a cave barely living more freely than before #2. then being confined to the stuffy somber abusive home he ran away from as a teen w that portrait still up there and everything.. bitch...#oh man the way i KNOW when we get to ootp (my favourite) its gonna leave me blasted into a million little pieces #the way i know shit like the knowing wink the entirety of the wall tapestry room scene and of course nice one james is gonna DESTROY me..#dont even talk to me abt that dark turn at the end of gof and how everything after gets soooo. god. w everything just getting destroyed and.#i cant even think abt it i cant even talk about it. wah #i dont care btw that they aged those guys up undermining how insanely young these people died. perfect casting fr the remaining marauders ok

people older than you when the challenge is to not give unsolicited advice: 💀💀💀

#ryan's screaming #fucking hell #just because you have good intentions doesnt mean your advice that a person didnt ask for was the right thing to say #just because you didnt want to sit there and just listen doesnt mean it was correct for you to give unsolicited advice #nobody fucking asked for it #and if you think that the person isnt allowed to get upset at you for it bc you have the best fucking intentions then i need you to do some-#-goddamn self reflection #im so fucking angry. i have to recover from a bad mood now which i wasnt even in in the first place i was just sharing #i thought it was funny and i wanted to talk to so i said it #i wanted laughter and a conversation i didnt ask for a fucking lecture about how i should try to socialize more and not let my trauma get-#-in the way of meeting people. fucking hell.#like i Know i fucking Know youre concerned but jesus fuck man i ddint ask for your pity #holy fuck

When Sam sent in Kaidan's recommendation to N-school, did he know Kaidan would turn it down?

Oooh, this is a REALLY good question.

I'm going to say he didn't, and Kaidan turning it down came as a surprise to him. Should he have known? Probably. But as intuitive and observant as Sam is, I think in this case, the N program is so integral to him, that he couldn't step outside himself enough to understand why Kaidan wouldn't want it.

From the beginning, the allure of Kaidan Alenko has been that he's hard for Sam to figure out. Sam likes puzzles, and Kaidan is one he never quite solves. People don't often surprise Sam. Every time Kaidan does surprise him, he becomes even more interesting.

So turning down the N program recommendation would have set Sam on his heels a little. He would have taken time to over analyze why, sit with it, and have a little moment of clarity over the ways he'd misunderstood Kaidan's experiences, or just not given enough consideration them. I very deliberately gave Kaidan and Sam very different experiences with developing and learning biotics. Their perspectives are VERY different, and Kaidan's reasons for not wanting to be an N would have helped Sam broaden his own understanding of how un-universal his own experience was. For all the things he knows about Kaidan and BAaT and Vyrnnus, this would have driven home a little harder the ways in which they shaped him.

Sam also would have marveled a little at the ways Kaidan is so relentlessly himself, and rigidly follows his own code.

Truthfully, that was probably a small but important moment in Sam's long, slow fall. The relief he would have felt, however, at Kaidan staying put on the 'Yang and remaining with the squad is something he would have carefully tucked away somewhere he didn't have to think about very hard.

Other people are puzzles, after all. Less fun when the puzzle is yourself. :)

#swaps replies #musanocturnis #'shoot it again sam' shepard #i love this ask thank you so much #in truth sam making the recommendation in the first place #was probably a subconscious deflection #a lot like the arcturus date #he was attached enough to kaidan that he made the recommendation #as proof to himself that attachment wasn't getting in the way of kaidan's advancement #did he believe kaidan was a good candidate?#absolutely #but there was some not entirely altruistic thinking behind it #'of course he's just a good friend'#'see? would i suggest he leave if i thought i couldn't live without him?'#'oh thank god he didn't go'#[nervous laughter]

ohhh i'm loving justin on the receiver show so much

#gonna be honest i skipped ep 1 because i simply do not have any strong feelings about the other nfc guys #but justin!!! with his jets persona and his dancing and his laughter and his sweet family!#all of his jewelry and the frankly excessive amounts of candy in his house!#the way he beats himself up so much for that fumble against the eagles :( :(#and the injury against the chiefs and it's his first serious injury and he's soooo upset #the brief shot of clyde hugging and comforting him after the game!#i love it i love it absolutely delicious so far #(and the shots we get of him and koc in the locker room and we don't get to hear what's being said 👀)#(but that's a whole other thing i have Thoughts on)#and it looks like justin might be splitting his episodes with davante #which i don't mind a bit because he's beautiful and mutuals have informed me about some great Lore with him #anyway love it all so far #will probably continue to skip george deebo and amon-ra my first go through (sorry most of the nfc i just am not invested!)
