A prompt for you to use however you see fit: "Leaving was not an option."

"Leaving was not an option." Chief says between bites of the third MRE of the hour. Everything he did was methodical, even eating during downtime. Even when recounting past hardships. The only time he wavered was when he reflected on what he saw as a personal failing. There was no harsher critic of the Master Chief than himself.

"That seems to be a recurring theme with you, big guy." Fernando gently chides.

It's just them in the pelican, and Chief has his helmet off to eat something after too many hours hiking the ring and helping marines. It's this small moment of vulnerability where the armor isn't there to hide him that lets Fernando see the frown tugging the corners of his mouth further down.

"Hey, we're only human, remember?" Fernando nudges Chief's arm with his own and fights the urge to do more. Chief seemed skittish with positive attention. Praise and too many eyes on them were the reason that they were dining in the dark troop bay.

Chief looks at the bay door, eyes boring a hole in it as he loses himself in thought.

"Hey," Fernando swallows as those blue eyes turn to him and lock on to his for a millisecond before staring at the offering in his hand. "Want my dessert?"

The wrapper crinkles as he lifts it closer to Chief. He's close enough he sees the Spartan's nostrils flare and the way his eyes track the movement. It's endearing.

"I don't-"

"Take it." Fernando doesn't know where the confidence comes from, but he knows it's fake. He is proud that his hands don't shake as he places the chocolate bar in Chief's hand and then makes his escape to the cockpit.

ask game! 🌌 🤍 💔 🗡️ and 🎉

🌌: it’s a little funny but my oldest brother got me into the games! When he’d come visit us he’d bring his games and one time he brought halo reach and all we did was play halo reach firefight and I was addicted 😅 I got re-interested when my bestie reblogged some halo 2 anniversary gifs during the pandemic and I was like 👀👀👀👀

🤍: I’ve got a few but honestly. Chief, he’s so good .. he’s so good

💔: already answered 😅 but weird fact I can give you about both halo 4 AND CE is that in co-op if you have one player initiate a cutscene(like on autumn, or silent cartographer) the other player will teleport to the cutscene location…makes it so you can’t try to get a cutscene and immediately leave the area for speedrunning purposes

🗡️: already answered!

🎉:gonna be real I am SO bad abt headcanons… I can’t think of any off the top of my atm 😭

chat is this anything?

I think doing voice for animation is... is probably acting in its most purest and ancient form. It's a bit like... the Greek form of acting, in the ancient Greek. where they had masks on. In our case, the mask is the animator's drawings, you know.

The Making of the Lion King.

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones.

Do you guys ever think, VERY VERY early on, right after baby Adrien was born and Emilie started going down the long painful journey of "deathly motherhood disease". Do you guys think that. That Natalie like. Hated baby Adrien. Like. For a split second. She looked at the sparkling white crib hosting the most tiny golden perfect angel baby, who looked so much like Emelie, who was faded to slowly but surely syphon away her life, and for the tiniest of moments she glared at him. Because who else was she meant to resent? Emilie? Gabriel? The baby? ... probably Gabriel would be the safest bet actually. And then baby Adrien just smiled at her and held her finger and his eyes shone so much like Emilies and she knew she was doomed forever.

Do you guys ever think

Rest in the most ever loving peace James Earl Jones, you’ve more than earned it and will be missed by all generations 😭💞💕😢💔

I love you albums. I love you songs connected by similar themes. I love you listening to songs in a specific order picked by the artist. I love you reoccurring motifs throughout the same album. I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.

hurt/comfort prompt(s): "i know you're freaking out, but I've had worse" and/or "you're not fine!"

From this prompt list!

"Tom, remember to breathe. And if you're going to puke, aim somewhere else." Sarah says with all the concern she can muster. She's being incredibly patient about the whole thing and the fact she's got a medic and Tom in her face. It's not like she wanted to get shot, but it what the armor was for, what she was for. Damn thing hurt like a bitch, but at least it went all the way through. At least the military kept her up to date on all her shots. Tetanus on top of everything else happening would just make her mood worse.

He's holding her hand and squeezing hard enough she can notice it through the gauntlet. The error codes her HUD hasn't stopped throwing in her face now subside as the Mjolnir's sensors on her palms read his touch and read out to his IFF tag. They both look and feel like shit, but that makes sense. It's been months with very little progress. No word about anyone else. What is happening out there on the other fragments of this damn Halo?

Thinking about it soured her already dismal mood. Her adrenaline keeps fading and she grimaces at the mess of her shoulder. Missed shot. She huffs a laugh and explains to a bewildered Tom, "Don't let Halsey see, or she'll offer to make us match."

"You're joking? I guess I should be happy about that." He sighs and rubs at his temples. His smile dies a quick death on his face as he looks her over again.

She and the medic attending the weeping wound in her shoulder both side eye the captain who's looking a bit green as he eyes her in return. Well, her wound and the spike round lodged into the rock behind her.

Tom opens his mouth to argue, his bloodshot eyes meeting hers, but the medic finishes taping her and immobilizing her left arm before he can. They spout off basic care. Keep it clean, keep it dry, do not try to poke it - typical instructions for a S-IV. They nod and leave the commander and captain locked in a silent conversation.

When the medic is far enough away, Sarah beats him to the punch. "I know you're freaking out, but I've had worse."

"That doesn't help and you know it."

"You're concerned over nothing. We're built to take hits. It's most cauterized anyway." She's losing ground in the argument and she knows it. She used to silence his worries and deal with the puppy eyes he'd use instead of words. Now he's hovering and he won't stop talking. "Help me eat my lunch and I'll tell you how I saved an Admiral from a Chieftain and only got hit twice by someone not even in the fight."

"Sarah."

"Tom."

She scowls. If she had more energy she'd be pissed off, but these days it was harder and harder to hold onto anything that wasn't anger or revenge. Spite had fueled her a long time, but now there was hardly anything left. She and the armor had been running on empty. Her HUD squawks warnings and overdue updates. "I'm fine."

"You're not fine!" Tom bellows and it shocks her into silence. "Don't say it is. Don't lie. You know I can hear the warning, I can see you limping when the armor locks up. It's unpredictable but this all ends the same way."

He deflates, hand still locked in hers. "I hate seeing you in it and thinking about how it's going to be your coffin."

"Is that all?" She asks. Her voice only catches in her throat on the last word.

Tom's jaw flexes and he swallows hard. He's a mess. She can't really talk, but at least she's keeping up appearances.

"Then we do something about it. Like we always do." She pulls him closer, good arm wrapped over his shoulders. "Pry me out of the tin can and keep moving."

"Just like that?"

"Just like that."

I had to kill Elon Musk so I rampaged through what I think was a SpaceX building chasing him floor after floor until I got him. The whole thing felt like playing DOOM.
