#but I'm a fixer

Once everything's said and done and the Inquisitor and Cullen finally have some time to settle, their friends get them late wedding/housewarming gifts.

One is particularly amusing: a box from Leliana labeled, "Kindling."

Cullen is not allowed to use it as such until his wife has read every single one of the ridiculous Orlesian marriage inquiries/proposals it contains. On occasion, she finds a particularly good or forward one and reads it aloud, leaving him flustered and grumbling.

anyone else listen to any cluster b coded song and get really internally defensive over it because there's no way anybody else relates to it as viscerally as you do. like people listen to it because it's cool, or to cheer up from a break-up, or to pump themselves up before some event, and you're here like

"no actually at all times i have the need to start shit to stave off the ever-consuming boredom. no actually at all times i Am better than everyone in this room. no the egotypicals cannot relate to my entire life being constantly this song. no you don't get it you can't even confidently ask for a ketchup packet. I Am Going To Light A Fire."

man, imagine reading the Ruins of Berez chapter but not knowing about Baba Yaga folklore; how wild is it to have all this gothic horror and then suddenly you run into a weird old witch with a skull-shaped hoverboard and a walking treehouse that are barely explained.

I am still in awe of the sheer brass balls 'excuse me he said no pickles'-ness of cristabel honestly. she (re?)found god in a dude named john with the eyes of edward cullen and the body of a history professor, she immediately bossed him around and told him jesus' problem was that he didn't maintain good work/life balance, she asked the pope for a note to say her new buddy/god was chill and not a heretic actually (source: just trust me on this one holy father), she said 'john you are the way and the truth and the life and I am no longer asking here' and enforced apotheosis at gunpoint... and she was best bros with and inspired eternal devotion in mercy, the prickliest human being to ever live. who is she.

I know I'm being annoying at this point but I really just feel like I literally watched a different show when so many people apparently walked away from mad men thinking Don was like one of television's all time worst villains

Hehe ... another post under the cut because I'm about to be silly and gush about him ... he's making me so happy ~

Look at hiiiiiiim ...! When I first saw he was the ID we got for collecting event currency, I literally started going "memememememe" over and over for a good 5 seconds--yes, I started stimming because of this man. He's so cute and I love him so much--

He's just!! Augh!! I have no words!! (Proceeds to collect her thoughts and structure a rational post in the following paragraphs.)

I of course did the sensible thing and got him to Uptie IV immediately. And this ID story ... mind you, I haven't read one of these since I Uptied the Wuthering Heights IDs, so this was just a full treat for me. Heathcliff being all self-conscious will never not be adorable to me.

ALSO THIS. I love that this tidbit was dropped right after Aster, Hellbat, and I went on a little adventure to find the "comfort food" menu for the Sinners that HamHamPangPang had a while back ... he does love fish and chips ... agh. He was refusing to go out to eat this whole story scene, and I was just thinking, "A Heathcliff who doesn't want to go out for food? MADNESS!" /lh

The fact he's replacing his body with so many prosthetics, though ... sir ... it's okay, though, because I'm already brainstorming a little meet-cute for this Heathcliff and Sherry, because of course I am.

Also he's so bored in this Mirror World ...

Not to mention he's still got his reckless nature. Man really has no sense of self-preservation, regardless of the Mirror World.

There's a few more screenshots of him being bored, even with violence, which usually brings him joy, but I certainly am plastering this whole post with images--

(Proceeds to add them anyway.) Anyway!! The last image I wanted to add was this one:

Oh, Mr. Heathcliff ... I know a lass who could make a big splash in your uneventful life ... Miss Sherlock Holmes ~

AND BEFORE I END. HE HAS SO MANY CUTE VOICE LINES.

I know these are just screenshots and the lines themselves are unimpressive, but listen to me. Guys. Guuuuuysss. He yawns. Actually yawns. And you can hear his voice changing as he stretches, too, and just. I used to have to imagine what he'd sound like doing those things, and now I have an ID I can pull up and listen to whenever I want--

He also has four arms ... all the more to hug Sherry with. /lh

In summary ... uh ... they made another Heathcliff ID just for me ~

number 1 please!!! Maybe in the ‘the fixer’ verse? (mr motorbike - second in command to his mother’s empire jackie is 🔥)

the concept of powerful/brutal/ruthless/cold!Jack to everyone but his beloved Nico occupies serious real estate in my head. it's ridiculous! for context, here's 'the fixer'.

1. “Okay, maybe I have a crush on you! So what?” 

The thing is, life with Jack by his side has always meant that Nico has someone he can lean on, someone he could always turn to, and, on occasions, someone who just...makes all the bad stuff go away. It doesn't matter who. It doesn't matter what. Somehow, Jack just. Fixes things.

In the past, Nico may have felt uneasy about it. There's an uncomfortable passing thought that he's taking advantage of Jack's generosity and time somehow, but over the years Jack's made it abundantly clear that he takes care of Nico because he wants to. It's that simple.

But lately, after the whole drama with getting rid of his terrible cheating ex (or lack of drama, considering Jack just made that asshole disappear from Nico's life overnight), Nico's getting a different kind of vibe from his friend.

You know. Clocking the subtle stares, noticing the soft lingering touches, keeping track of the unsubtle doting bestowed upon him, and only him. That kind of vibe.

Nico is ninety-nine-point-nine percent sure Jack likes him. Maybe more than likes him, because Nico's seen the way Jack treats the people he hates, people he tolerates, and the few people he likes. And everything that's happened since he evicted Stefan's poisonous existence from Nico's life transcends a simple like. Actually, Nico's ninety-nine-point-nine-nine percent sure Jack's in love with him at this point.

But Jack has never acted on it. Never hinted at it. Doesn't seem like he's ever going to acknowledge it.

Not that it stops him from pulling all the stops, treating Nico with care and adoration. Everything short of laying him out and kissing him senseless on the bed is fair game apparently.

Like: surprising Nico with dinner reservations at a five-star skyscraper restaurant with Quinn's longstanding MVP credentials. Getting dirt and dust all over himself cleaning out Nico's garage after finding out Stefan had promised for months to do it but never did. Picking Nico up from an interview on his motorcycle, with an extra helmet in Nico's size. An utterly spontaneous trip to the crystal clear waters in Malta simply because Nico was looking 'too gloomy' cooped up at home. Never mind that Nico's got plenty of his own fun money after those decent years with the NHL under his belt.

It's fucking ridiculous. And Nico says as much, the one evening they're hanging out in Jack's penthouse instead, Succession playing on mute in the background while they mess around with some thousand-dollar whiskey Luke sent over. Jack nearly spilled the whole bottle on his counter, uncharacteristically flustered as Nico presses him for an explanation, because he's losing his god damn mind over this little dance they've got going on and he wants answers, now.

"Okay, maybe I have a crush on you! So what?" Jack finally shouts, throwing his hands up. "Do you want me to be the sleazy dirtbag that tries to make a move on his friend that's fresh out of a shitty relationship? Swoop in like a vulture, and you're a piece of meat? Like you're some toy to get passed around? Fuck you for thinking I'd do that, Nico, I swear--I can't have you, it's not--I can't--"

"But what if I want you?" Nico asks, and watches the myriad of expressions flash across Jack's face. Shock. Disbelief. Hope. Need. "What if I want you to be mine? What if I'm the one who wants to keep you?"

The whiskey sits abandoned on the counter for a long while after that.

send me a jacknico prompt!

Using any member of Delta Squad as Space!Mengele's right-hand-man is confusing and narratively lazy to say the least. However, if they were determined to do it, why Sev wasn't chosen for Hemlock's henchman is baffling to me.

Bringing back a fan-favorite clone commando who has been canonically "missing" for twenty years is a cheap nostalgia win. Right out of Filoni's playbook.

If the fan-theory that CX-whatever is Tech proves correct, Sev would have established a subtle precedent that the Empire has "saved" MIA/KIA clones before and reconditioned them for their own ends. The foreshadowing would have been extremely satisfying in hindsight.

For those familiar with the game, he'd be an interesting surly sniper parallel for Crosshair.

He was never the comedic relief (unlike Scorch), he always wanted to prove himself, and he got left for dead by his squad on Kashyyyk: Sev's motivations for stoically carrying out Hemlock’s orders would be marginally less difficult to invent.

Getting to the end of Republic Commando and what a ride it's been.

Now... Time to mentally brace myself. Oh GOD, it's gonna be THAT MOMENT soon.

Spending most of yesterday looking at houses in Paci NorWee (pacific northwest) with The Boys™ made me really happy. Manifesting that move so hard rn. 🧘🏽🥺
