Halo Glasslands is a thrilling and action-packed science fiction novel set in the beloved Halo universe. Written by Karen Traviss, the book follows the story of a group of UNSC soldiers and their mission to protect humanity from the alien threat known as the Covenant.

Footage of Spartan-II Kelly-087 tackling and brutalizing fellow Spartan Frederic-104 during a secluded scouting mission inside the Shield World Trevelyan.

The Gammas can’t see them making out when they’re hiding in the tall grass.

Spartan Relationship Headcanons [Naomi-010] [Part I]

Our queen, our legend, our Valkyrie <3

I seriously have so much written that this character limit is my enemy. Be expecting several parts for Naomi cause I'm not even done with the trilogy.

Part II

Naomi is very much the quiet one in the relationship as usual with Spartans, though you two do have inside jokes that she refers to. It'll be in an uncalled-for situation when she brings it up or cracks a good one that has you gigging like crazy. Serin has gotten annoyed with you because all she hears is you laughing over comms and Vaz nor Mal understand why you're kneed over with tears in your eyes.

She adores hearing her partner laugh, it just does something to her that makes her feel all warm inside. Naomi feels more comfortable bantering with her partner than anyone else and really does enjoy the inside jokes together.

BB was still in her armor when this happened and gets curious when her heart rate spikes and her body temperature rises. He doesn't understand why it did until he sees what she's seeing. In that moment, everything else fades into the background, and all that exists in her sight and sound is your laughter. It's infectious, she finds the corner of her lips twitching into a smile. She couldn't help but be drawn to it like a moth to a flame and for the rest of the day, BB is in a daze because he doesn't know how to explain this feeling and finds himself watching the two individuals. In the end, BB materializes next to you and describes the feeling, you end up giving him a small laugh. "BB, that sounds like you're in love. Who's captured your digital heart?" And unbeknownst to you, those were Naomi's feelings that he described.

At the very beginning of the relationship, Naomi teaches you the Spartan smile and makes it a habit to gesture it when she sees you, eventually, if you’re an ODST/Spartan, she’ll start swiping her fingers across your helmet. The first time you give her a Spartan smile on her helmet, she’s secretly overjoyed.

Going down the ODST route, if you two get reunited during a mission, she does the spartan smile on your helmet super quickly before going to engage another enemy. The rest of your squad annoys you about it but you’re sworn to Spartan secrecy, they don’t need to know.

This actually starts a rumor that Naomi and you have beef which couldn’t be further from the truth. When you tell her about it, she’s actually concerned and asks why would she be fighting with you? Was there something she did wrong? Later, she finds the humor in it and says ODSTs are odds, which has you cracking up because everyone else finds Spartans odd.

I have a personal headcanon that Spartans like getting their helmets kissed by their partners, I’ll get into this later in another post but Naomi adores this. As long as it’s not in front of someone in command or makes a situation awkward, please kiss her helmet before she leaves on whatever missions she’s next sent on. It’s like her personal good luck charm.

There is a post somewhere that Spartans slam their helmets together affectionately, when Naomi did this, she left you with a concussion for a solid few weeks and shocked you by saying she even held back. Naomi is so scared to do this again in fear of sending you to the medical wing for the second time, you end up convincing her a small tap against your helmet is fine. It’s kinda of like pressing your foreheads together with helmets.

When Serin starts telling the rest of Kilo-Five about the Spartan program, Naomi feels betrayed and it really does bother her. She doesn't tell you outright but you know she's upset about something because she's quieter than normal and lets out a huff when you try to tease her. That's normally her tell that something is wrong.

Naomi will admit to it later when you casually ask her if that's what's been bothering her having heard from Mal what Serin had told them. She gives a short nod, remaining silent until you ask if she wants to talk about it.

Depending on how far along the relationship is she has either told you about the Spartan program or you know bits and pieces about it. Naomi wouldn't enter into a relationship without trusting the person significantly.

Regardless of how long you’ve been together, Naomi will still have her awkward moments, please don’t call her out. Just quietly see if she wants your help with explaining something or if there was a disconnect somewhere, girl’s got nothing to compare her relationship to and appreciates the communication.

If there is something she doesn’t get with Kilo-Five whether it’s a joke or something they’re talking about, she shifts her gaze towards you and you can see the questions in her eyes. This being said, if she finds herself in a situation she feels awkward in, please save her, Naomi will flick her eyes towards you for help.

I think if she has a partner before meeting Kilo-Five, it would’ve taken her longer to connect with everyone. Naomi is content making conversation with you and you alone, she’s also okay with you being the social one in the relationship and her just being there. It’s not to say she would be completely silent, Naomi is curious by nature and will speak up every now and again when you are in a conversation with any of Kilo. BB is the one who gets the most conversation out of her simply because he targets her when you aren’t around.

I also think that you would lowkey beef with Mal, Vaz, and Devereaux at the very beginning simply because of the drama between the ODSTs and Spartans, especially if you were an ODST yourself because you’ve gotten first-hand experience of the Spartans getting hated on by units you’ve served in.

Naomi appreciates your overprotectiveness and loves you more for it, and she knows someone is there to care for her now but she’ll be the one that calls you out. She actually tells you, she thinks you’re being slightly unreasonable about the way you’ve been acting considering that they haven’t said anything about her other than she’s quiet, awkward, and antisocial.

Of course, you two talk about it after she says this in fear of overstepping her boundaries because Naomi is awful at reinforcing those due to her Spartan attitude of ‘dealing with it’. She honestly has to think about it and says she doesn’t mind you looking out for her but your own experiences are getting in the way of your thinking and all ODSTs aren’t like that and use you as an example.

She's the type of partner who will take anything you hand her. Be it food or objects, Serin has watched you walk onto the deck with a bag of candy, Naomi didn't even blink or look away from the console before holding out her palm for whatever you were giving her and plopping the candy in her mouth without a second glance.

As much as Devereaux wants this to work, if anyone else pulls this with Naomi, she just blank stares at them until they explain what they’re trying to hand her.

Whether you’re another Spartan or an ODST or Marine, Naomi has full rights to mess around with your armor and weapons. She does it mainly to quell her own anxieties that something might go wrong on the field plus she likes marking ‘S-010’ on anything that’s yours. The second reason she does this is 'cause she observes her partner and knows their preferences when it comes to weapons and she tries to customize everything for you.

Someone once commented about the numbers marked on your sniper rifle and you were just confused before realizing what Naomi did. When you tell her about the occurrence, her eyes shine with satisfaction, like she had planned for this.

The Huragoks aren’t allowed to touch your stuff, Naomi will get offended because that is her job, she had a straight stare-down with Adj that promised violence, the Huragok seriously had to slowly put down your weapons before Naomi let out a huff and went on with her business.

Adj makes it a point to tell Leeks to stay away from your things or else. Naomi will know if they messed with something.

Last week, I got the chance to photograph Hail the Sun / Sweet Pill / Kaonashi / Glasslands at Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, NJ. It was probably one of the best shows I’ve seen this year.

Surveyors in the Glasslands

There are a lot of connections to be made helping people cross the continent. Some of them are looking for new beginnings, others are just trying to build a better map.
