i always oversleep, i'm always next to u. do u see me in ur dreams? 'cause i see u see me too—but i got u, i got u

a/n : this is dedicated to the dearest mo ♡!! [ @lomlando ]

though citlali loved the night before, dancing in the club, drinking until dawn, and cheering lando on after he convinced the club into letting him dj, the late mornings spent dazing in and out while being held by lando were incomparably better.

lando stirred, still half asleep, and softly asked, "are you cold, lali?"

"yeah, a little." she responded.

he rose from the bed and headed to the linen closet just outside their room. returning with yet another blanket, he crawled back into bed and wrapped it around the two of them, placing his warm hands over her cold ones.

she hummed in delight, snuggling back into him, and soon drifted to sleep once again.

as citlali woke from her warm slumber, she turned around to check if lando had woken up, only to be surprised by the empty right side of the bed.

glancing around the dim room, citlali sat up, trying to clear her foggy mind and recall whether lando had a media day today or not.

she was sure he hadn't.

just as she slipped out of bed to search for Lando, the door began to sway open. lando, using his elbow to open the door, entered with a small thermal mug in each hand.

"goodmorning, lali. i made us some hot cocoa." he said, smiling so gently that citlali could cry at the sight before her.

"lando...” she said, completely enamored, just as she felt the first time she saw him years ago.

he placed the cups on the bedside table before taking her into his arms and giving her the softest of kisses. lando was always so gentle with her, making sure she always knew that he cherished her beyond time.

he smiled, "Iali, it's the first snowfall of the season today."

her eyes lit up, "today? what!!"

lando nodded his head, "yes! i've set out a beanie and mittens for you. get your coat, and we can go out."

"you're too good, lando." she said, peppering kisses on his cheek before rushing to her closet to grab one. she stumbled into her bathroom, attempting to brush her teeth and slip into her coat simultaneously.

meanwhile, lando brought the mugs down to the kitchen, where he used the spare time to prepare quick pb & js.

lali rushed down stairs, sliding the beanie onto her head, “okay, lando, i'm ready! are you?"

lando turned around, humming, "mhm.”

the two enjoyed their sandwiches and sipped on their cocoa as they made their way out to the front yard.

citlali's eyes sparkled as the snow fell upon their beanies. she thought lando looked so pretty with snowflakes falling over him.

citlali sank to her knees, gathering snow into small, lumpy piles. after creating two, she stacked them on top of each other. she turned to lando and asked, "isn't she lovely?"

lando nodded, “yes, of course. though, she’s missing a friend.”

“really?”

lando mirrored her previous actions, creating yet another lumpy snowman right beside hers.

“look at them. they’re definitely in love.” lando confirmed.

“right! look at her little blush.” lali said, gently carving blush lines into the snowman's cheeks.

"and," lando said, stumbling through the snow to grab a stick with leaves. he returned and placed it behind his snowman's back, "-he's ready to surprise her with a very romantic, one-of-a-kind, leaf bouquet."

“oh, how cute!” lali smiled

they continued to enjoy the snow, creating little scenarios with their snow people. although lando initially wanted to name them kirk and kirkette, inspired by the odd, but fascinating, character from the show they had rewatched countless times, they eventually decided on luke and lorelai.

It would be nice to hear from Wanda and Cosmo! It is kind of nice that you guys have two children like your own family does. Are you two still close to your siblings? Wanda has a sibling and Cosmo also have a sibling just like Timmy and Peri. Do they share some sibling stories to your children?

Wanda and Cosmo both reconnected with their siblings shortly after having Peri. Or, well. More like Blonda reentered their lives once she realized she had a baby nephew. Eventually, they slowly patched things up the more Blonda came to visit Peri.

Schnozmo was dragged back kicking and screaming. Mama Cosma refuses to have her sons live estranged lives now that she has a grandchild in the picture. Schnozmo doesn't know how to handle children, but he's doing his best.

Peri likes Schnozmo because he makes silly noises and funny stories. But he prefers Blonda's theatrics much more and loves playing Dress Up with her.

I like how Nora tried to make us believe there was something between Renee and Jean like- no- that's a lesbian collecting traumatized gay men to be her friends like they're Pokémon

They had a bit of a chance encounter on a day where Blueblood was dealing with something that was very difficult and was so caught up in his emotions he didn’t even care that he was in the garden getting grass stans on his coat and Ditzy, with her natural impulse to cheer ponies up, didn’t even notice or care that she was flying into the palace gardens when she saw someone sat in the rain.

At first he was definitely going to call the castle guards to come apprehend this strange filly with the odd eyes who was intruding when this was the last moment he’d want to entertain any desperate debutantes, however she surprised him by not fawning or anything, not even caring about his status, just putting one of her fluffy wings up and asking if he needed somepony to lend an ear.

“Don’t let my eyes fool you, my ears work just fine!”

She was incredibly disarming and while he didn’t reveal everything about why he was upset, he found himself talking about his feelings to her. And she made such cheerful remarks, and was very comforting. In the end, he felt better and she came to check on him the next day, even sharing a blueberry muffin with him. He remarked that he’d never seen her around before, and that he wouldn’t mind terribly seeing her more often.

The rest, as they say, is history.

sorry but do you ever think about the fact that the bernard we have today is a direct amalgamation of everything that happened in his past and i know that sound like such an obvious statement to say but it actually kills me to know that you can draw a direct line from who he is today all the way back to that sixteen year old boy who watched his best friend bleed out. like it is the defining moment in his life. it fundamentally shaped who he is and the person he's become. he is the bernard we know and love not despite the grieves shooting but because of it. because the gangs all got together and shot up his school. because tim walked out of that room with nothing but a baseball bat. because his darla got shot. because he watched her gasp and cry as she died. because he watched the blood coagulate around the wound. because he sat there and held her hand as her life drained out of her. because he walked into school that day with a joke he knew would make her laugh and her nose would scrunch up and she'd snort a little and tim would roll his eyes at him and call him ridiculous and instead he walked out with a bloody white shirt, blood under his fingernails, and two friends less. because, even now, almost half a decade out from the shooting, he thinks that if he closes his eyes, he will always be that stupid, scared little sixteen year old, holding the cooling body of dead best friend.

Omg that last post is making me think of Neil and Andrew actually having to get their autograph signatures just right

Kevin: you can't just sign every piece of fan merchandise the same way you sign a check >:c what if someone uses it to steal your identity

Neil to Kevin: They can fucking try. Can you imagine Brownings face if someone did?

Neil to Andrew later: I have an identity to steal 🥹

the best answer to how Tara died is that Theo doesn’t know. Whether the dread doctors took that memory or he repressed it, he doesn’t know if he pushed her or she fell in and it haunts him

I always think it's a little surprising, irritating, endearing, something when big, tough men find solace in being gentle with their daughters.

There's reason to do tough things with them, too, to make sure they grow up strong and independent, but I think of a man like Simon "Ghost" Riley, who spent a huge percentage of his life being beaten down consistently by almost all the men who were around him.

And sure, he trusts the men in his task force with his life now, no question about it, but... I think the sudden calm he experiences when he starts to raise a daughter is beyond strange for him, but also weirdly... healing, too. Enjoyable.

That's not to say he doesn't, and hasn't, enjoyed the boyish things in life, the watching sports, the playing in the dirt, the pretending to hold guns part of growing up... but he finds himself sitting through your daughter's ballet class, overwhelmed by the calm that surrounds him, actually able to focus on the intensity of her pliers, her releves, the way her pink skirt ripples when she leaps into a sauter.

It's a new realization, a new kind of war (between him and learning how to be a parent), but it's one that doesn't revolve around the consistent anxiety that warps his stomach when he watches boys, little or not, teeter the line between roughhousing and fighting, picking on one another for shedding accidental tears that, really, cause no harm.

With your daughter, he's set in charge of watching her play with her friends and finds there is no lump in his stomach when she giggles with them, no dark possibility drifting in the back of his mind that she'll reach out and get her arm broken by someone she trusts--the fights she fights with her peers all between the characters they play and not between their fists, their games of laughter and drama and screaming but not of raging violence.

There's people who ask him, people who joke, wouldn't a man like him prefer a son? He must've been so disappointed... Yet, Simon still has yet to think of the best way to tell them that he honestly enjoys having a daughter a little bit more, that she runs to him and not for a second is he afraid she's hiding a snake up her sleeve, because she's only ever greeted him with flowers.

I was rewatching mouthwashing, and I ended up thinking of the different reactions that Curly and Jimmy had in doing their tasks. How during the scene of Anya evaluating Jimmy and showing dread towards the idea of doing his evaluation, Curly was the one that offered to take it off her hands. He had no issue with adding more to his plate, because he knew - or well, thought, he knew that Jimmy wasn't going to "bullshit" with him since he's known him for a long time. When Anya hands Curly a note from Swansea, Curly goes to check out what the issue is and he takes care of it without a complaint, the only "complaint" he has is how this incident could have damaged the pods. Which is reasonable, those pods are their only way to be saved if anything tragic happens on the ship. However, in comparison to Jimmy being asked to do things, he's passive-aggressive about it. When Anya asks Jimmy if he could help her out with Curly's painkillers, he tells her that people should be worth their titles, specifically using her title as a nurse when she asked him for help and then when she says forget it, since he made her feel insecure, he still goes "Oh no, I'LL take care of it" as if he was doing a chore, a favor for her. Then, there's that part where he blows up at her for things that she didn't even ask him to do - more so the others asked him about it, like the code scanner, him deciding he needed to find the axe for the foam, and then, there's the medicine part (which when she does ask, and she reconsiders - going to do it herself, he takes that away from her). Jimmy complains about the tasks he has to do and he treats it like a big issue, a "woes me" that he has to do this and that - wanting the praise of the capital without actually doing any work. While Curly doesn't complain about it, in fact, he even mentions that he's aware of how well he is doing at his job as a Captain during that cockpit scene with him and Jimmy. If Jimmy only had to do a small amount of tasks to get irritated and annoyed at being captain, while Curly didn't which I feel like encapsulates their personalities. Curly understands what he's doing is a job, it's a responsibility, why would he complain at any point for doing what he's suppose too? Why would he be upset at people asking him to do tasks? While Jimmy on the other hand, isn't used to it at all and it's different to what he's had before and he's realizing that he doesn't actually like doing the work he has too. I just wanted to ramble about it even if it seemed kind of obvious xd

It’s obvious but it is a thing people miss or understate when trying to find parallels in Curly’s and Jimmy’s relationship/personalities.

Like the way people portray it as neither taking responsibility when it is almost split down the middle of Curly taking responsibilities and faults that shouldn’t be his and making himself unequipped to handle the ones that are while Jimmy refuses to handle the responsibilities he has because he wasn’t expecting the work that comes with them.

Not a lot to say but people forget that another thing the game comments on is prioritization of issues and responsibilities and how the guys fail at it in one way or another in the situation.
