I saw an interesting post a while back that said “Capcom made us [Miles and Diego/Godot] only have like two(?) interactions because they knew we would be unstoppable with a brother dynamic” and tbh it stuck with me bc it was intriguing.

So yeah that potential brotherhood, but that Godot/Diego AU I made (that I still need a name for)

Also I bet Gregory Edgeworth would have smelled like a bit like coffee, and so Diego just reminds Miles of that comforting presence 😭 (the von Karma estate was a tea household, so he didn’t smell much coffee after DL-6 and didn’t realize how much he missed it/reminded him of his father)

As much as you guys hate to admit it, the Five and Lila pairing makes sense and was not at all utter bullshit as you guys are making it seem.

From the time Lila was introduced, she came in as a strong character that's wild, sexy, fun, and a bit deranged. She's a badass character! And what happens? She meets Diego in a point in her life where she was at the height of chaos and adventure. They fall in love, or in a toxic situationship filled with family drama and mother/father issues.

Now let's look at Five. His situation is overall fucked. Imagine being some kid that grew up with space/time travel powers and getting stuck in time, having to grow up pretty much before all of his siblings, and then having to come back in his KID body and still have to fix THEIR problems on top of dealing with his own mental issues that he acquired and loneliness. Reminder that he would not have had a partner due to his inconvenient life/appearance.

Lila and Diego are in this marriage with kids after trying to live a "normal" life. Lila feels stuck because she basically trauma bonded with some guy that happened to be there and was able to put up with her issues and vice versa. Diego was convenient. And from what I see, she really just wanted to make a family she didn't have. Their relationship is kinda out of obligation for their kids at this point, and neither of them are happy.

At this point, Five and Lila get stuck in time together after having previously been on opposite sides but coming together for family sake. From the beginning they matched each other's energy and even I would say they complement each other. They both have explosive personalities filled with sarcasm, snark, and a bit of humor. They both enjoy danger and a rough tussle. That's all they have known.

At this point, both Five and Lila have experienced so much in their lives, so much adventure already. They are ready to settle down, because sometimes love is the adventure you're looking for in this crazy world.

And look I get it. Badass lady is reduced to housewife trope that shouldn't exist unless within character. But can we really say this is out of character for Lila? She always does the unexpected, so her going off to be a spy is what we would expect, for her and Five.

And I also get that you guys think that Five would never betray his family like that. This isn't a perfect world and neither are these characters. If anything, we've seen Five do things for his own self interest over what the family/others want. Same for Lila.

Add in the loneliness of DECADES from Five and the trapped loneliness Lila feels within her marriage, and the fact they they go on another mission together over SEVEN years, mixed with their explosive dynamic and you have a pairing.

And explosion seems to be the theme for this season right? With Ben and Jennifer. Sometimes 2 exlosive chemicals become more stable rather than creating a blast. And maybe each other is what Five and Lila needed. They both understand each other in ways Diego could never understand Lila. Lila also understands Five's predicament like no other, having lived it first hand with him in the Seven years. It's only natural that they would come together. Lila and Diego were eventually going to divorce because they weren't compatible. Lila has always had the most chemistry with Five.

I get the cheating and in no way do I excuse it, but these characters have no idea when they will ever get back home and if. I think they would go absolutely crazy if they didn't have each other. In this time, they realized how similar they are and ended up being a better match. They found what they were looking for in each other. And you can't deny their connection like come on.

In my experience, in the real world, love is messy and not perfect. Sometimes finding love is your next adventure after you've live a life like no other. Maybe this will be good for them.

Also, they writers arent crazy or out of pocket, you guys just need to grow up.

How season four COULD'VE ended

-1-

Five: Our drinks are glowing

Diego: oh yeah how did I not notice that

Five: Let's be real you're part of the stupider percentage in this family

Allison: I don't think we should drink that

Viktor: I'll make you guys a better batch

[ Shot of Ben sulking in the corner because his genius perfect plan has been ruined by them noticing their drinks were fucking glowing so he doesn't drink his either for some reason I can't think of right now ]

ok here we are so far what do we think!!

^ luther 100% dedicates his account to sloane and responding to his siblings (but mostly sloane) i’ve said this before but without a doubt he posts a picture of her every day like “another day passed and i’ve decided im still in love with my wife”

^ i hc that diego doesn’t go on social media a ton. he looks at his siblings’ posts and what he’s tagged in and all that but for the most part he tries to focus on irl experiences.

^ allison is verified and she absolutely posts a lot. sorry i don’t make the rules.

^ i thought i was so funny for his bio and location lmfao. his url was originally going to be “highandmighty” because i thought it was witty but im still kinda undecided, i cant really think of a good username for him 😭 lmk if anyone has any good ideas!!

^ you can’t tell me this asshole wouldn’t have “umbrellas dni” in his bio and then constantly retweet and comment on their posts. because he would. he absolutely would.

also i think at the height of his scamming era he got a ton of twitter followers but then lost a bunch but still has a sorta decent amount lol

^ i don’t have much to say tbh i love viktor so much he’s so adorable

^ unfortunately making five a chronically offline old man is so fun. making him misunderstand everything about social media is a blast. he sees the little prompt things and thinks he needs to specify that he’s at his house or that he doesn’t have a website. i simply love him im sorry

also i’m still waiting on the results of the pfp poll so when that’s over i’ll change his pfp to match whatever is chosen lol

[vibinginthebg]

Still trying to find how to draw them ✨

[bilbos-stolen-untensils]

Five: Time for plan G.

Luther: Don't you mean plan B?

Five: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties.

Diego: Okay.. What about plan D?

Five: Plan D was that desperate attempt half an hour ago.

Luther: Fine, what about plan E?

Five: I'm hoping not use it. I die in plan E.

Lila: I like plan E

Rereading this book as an adult I am extra appalled by, as Dr. Cable calls them, her "little gang of psychotic sixteen-year-olds". I work with sixteen and seventeen year olds regularly. They're so visibly young. I'm trying to imagine sixteen year old supersoldiers zooming around with their razor teeth and military grade sneak suits scaring the general population and it's just horribly horribly sad.

There are so many things to be annoyed about the TUA s4 debacle, and I am exploring every one of them. This is not a particularly joyful thing for me, I don't run on spite, but I guess I just need to work my way through this.

TODAY'S ANNOYANCE! Read at your own peril! Dead dove, do not enter, I'm venting about both fandom's and Five's attitudes towards Lila.

I remember how much vitriol and pearl-clutching there was about Lila after season 2. Fandom at large HATED her: she was manipulative, she lied, she drugged Diego, she tried to kill them all, blah blah blah, god it was like people had never watched TV before.

This shifted to a somewhat grudging acceptance after season 3, "Well she's going to be a mum so maybe her claws have been clipped - but OH NO SHE'S STILL MANIPULATIVE, SHE PUNCHES FIVE AND FAKE-DRINKS AND EATS SUSHI?!" (If it's bad for babies, apparently someone forgot to inform the entire nation of Japan).

But now - now that Five "loves"* her, now she's been portrayed as a saccharine shadow of her glorious self, a living mannequin for your favourite blorbo to fuck - NOW you like her? Go fuck yourselves.

If you can't handle Lila at her most chaotic and weird and destructive and terrible, you don't deserve her. Let's be real, it's not about Lila at all. It's not about the character we've seen for the past two seasons. You don't want that Lila, you want some kind of Stepford wife to make Five happy. Which, hey, was apparently what he wanted, too!

For the record, and to stave off some of the flames I may be provoking, I think this version of Five is equally bullshit and feels like they twisted the character to fit the plot they wanted, rather than following what he'd been like previously. I mean, I do think he has control issues, he's forever telling people what to do, but he's not, in general, an emotionally-stunted manchild, and he's definitely better than this.

*Tell me, gentle readers, is it true love to lie to someone for six months about something that you know is vitally important to them, and then claim you know what's best for them, and then fucking sulk about it when they turn you down, or is that being an emotionally-stunted manchild with control issues? And some people think that is the height of romance! Are you on crack? Are you in a cult? Knock three times if you need help!
