#how that conversation should have gone

Max: I'm a one woman man

Tristan: Good thing I'm not a woman

Max: Well shit, you got me there

The second fic idea is a what-if scenerio where Jimmy dies in the crash due to and altercation with Curly and how Curly would navigate being Captain once he has to notice the little things and how he and Anya's relationship develop as he adopts an identical view point to hers rather than just keeping the peace.

And maybe i will write it but only time will tell tbh but it's stuck in my brain dome for the time being.

The weight of the world is a heavy burden

Especially for a child

(Or, in slightly less dramatic terms – I imagine that the first of her past lives that Avatar Suiren [who is the Avatar after Aang instead of Korra in my AU, and also Ghazan and Ming-Hua’s daughter] gets to talk to is Yangchen, because she is too plagued by memories not her own [including Jetsun’s death, fun fact]. And Yangchen wouldn’t want another child to go through what she did on their own)

(Or maybe someone just needed an excuse to draw @katkastrofa’s latest obsession in a context that interests them as well, just in time to maybe cheer her up a little? You can’t prove anything)

okay thats interesting! in the SF try-outs during the song "legally blonde" she sings about how she cant be legally blonde, while in the official version AND THE DEMO she sings about letting her be legally blonde. which means that at some point they changed the lyrics around, and then changed them back! laurence o'keefe.... nell benjamin.... what occurs in your twisted minds

arm*es are so goofy some truly are mad because professional korean esports gamers could be exempt to do the military service if they win a gold medal (just like any athlete LMAO)

So, it is actaully a quite a weird thing that I haven't done this before, but I finally got around to writing the conversation that Gastón and Nina had over the phone in S3E59. Enjoy.

“Gastón?”

“Hey ... I, I don’t know if I should be doing this, but…” the voice came from the phone. “After everything, you don’t have to do this, I can hang up if you don't want to hear from me.”

“No… It’s fine,” Nina had gotten quite caught quite off guard, but everything from her expressions to the body language had changed. The happiness was practically radiating from her eyes.

“Okay, well,” A nervous laugh came from the phone, “but I just wanted to see how you are. It’s—It’s been a while.”

“It, it has.” Nina nodded. “Uhm, I’m doing well. You?”

“That’s good to hear. I’m doing fine, keeping busy, all that stuff. How’s Roller…Matteo’s been telling me about the festival.”

“Yes, we’re training for it a lot.” 

“We? You’re doing it too?”

“Yeah, I thought I might. Luna has been training me but…”

“But what?”

“I still feel like I’m gonna trip on my own feet.” Nina said a little bit nervously.

“That won’t happen. You’ve come a long way on the rink. Me if anyone knows how far you have come. Trust me.”

“Well, thank you,” Nina blushed.

“But uhm,” There had been a brief silence between them before Gastón had continued. Now he sounded nervous. “You truly are doing okay…after you know…”

“I guess well as I can…”

“Nina, look, I’m really sorry—”

“You don’t need to apologize.”

“I want to.” Gastón continued, “It was a bit fast…but it's been a while now, and uhm … Have you—have you met anyone?” 

Silence.

“Nina?” Gastón’s voice came out of the phone a little bit concerned. “You there?”

“Yes, yes, I’m here.” Nina seemed to snap back into the moment. 

“Is something wrong?”

“No, no, nothing’s wrong.” 

“You sure about that? You’re acting weirdly.”

“I am?”

“I don’t need to see you to tell you that you’re nervous.” Gastón's voice faltered smally. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing is wrong…” Nina swallowed, “Just, that… Uh, you asked if I had met anyone and… the answer… it is, it’s yes. I mean I have, a little bit. His, his name is…Eric. The rink assistant.”

“Oh.” Gastón’s voice came from the other end. 

“I’m sorr—”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“I thought…” Nina continued. She looked like she was about to cry. 

“Thought what?” There was another falter in Gastón’s voice again, “I’m glad you’re doing well and… I’m happy for you. This is really great. You deserve to be happy and all I want for you is your happiness. You know that.”

“I do.” Nina smiled smally, but that smile quickly disappeared off her face. She looked like she wanted to say something more but decided not to.

“Well, if there is nothing else. I’ll leave you be. I’m just glad we’re able to talk, since we’re friends.”

This time Nina was about to open her mouth, but the call disconnected before she was able to. “Yeah, friends.”

Manger in charge of a LOT of shit quit recently because he got a job offer that was

A) 3x his original salary, and

B) involved far less responsibility

I had worked as his subordinate last year, so naturally the head honchos asked me take over what he was doing. Not with the title, but with the “promise” that we can visit that discussion in eight months depending on my performance (yeah okay /s).

Key note: I had received a similar promise for a different manager position. (No followup mention of that promise + no significant training provided to move me towards that position) * 7 months = empty promise. Alright cool.

One month in. Not getting too much guidance (expected), told I’m doing good and need to value myself higher.

Okay. Bet.

Asked for a raise in recognition of increased responsibilities beyond my current job description, quality of work, pay scale of the position (i’m at the bottom), etc. You know, hard facts that cannot be influenced by subjective feelings of importance or relevance.

Oh let’s not forget part of the raise was the annual raise that the HR manager promised ALWAYS happens but I have not received since my annual review four months ago. That I told the HR manager about two months ago but never heard anything back on. So there was a reminder of that, as well.

Told (to my face) that I’m entitled, don’t work hard enough, issued an ultimatum (literally didn’t make any sort of threat but okay), used the owner’s words against him (literally just quoted him on something he told me about pay when I was first hired but okay), they threatened that they could easily go out and find an external hire to take on in the role I’m being “trained” for, and asked if I REALLY think any other place would hire me. Among other “”feedback.””

Okay. Okay okay okay okay. I see how they view me now. Good to know. I learned quite a few things from this conversation and I think some of those things may surprise them.

I’ve gotta get this out of my brain

Jack teaching Mac to swim.

Maybe Mac didn’t grow up close to a body of water. Harry wouldn’t have paid for a local pool pass and would never have taken him to the beach. James wouldn’t have either. The Bozer’s didn’t like swimming so they never went.

Maybe Jack finds out while they’re together in the desert. Maybe on their next leave or day(s) off Jack finds a local pool or swimming hole and teaches Mac. Or maybe he can’t teach Mac until they are discharged but it’s always in the back of his mind. Maybe he quick to offer on a day when they don’t know what to do with themselves as civilians. Maybe Mac asks because it’s in the form he has to sign for the DSX and he really wants to this job so he can stay with Jack.

Thoughts???

Brobrobro like

Jack finds out while he’s telling Mac a story of the last Dalton get together before he left and it’s like

And when I tell ya we went at least ten feet in the air, I ain’t exaggeratin at all. The thing flipped and we all went flyin. You ever do things like that? I mean you bein a Cali beach boy and all

Nah, I never really had a reason to go to the beach

Not even to just take a quick swim?

Never learned how

And Mac’s just nonchalant about it and the thought of it never crossed his mind of he didn’t know how to swim because there wasn’t ever a situation where he would actually need to know how to

And the thought is surprising for Jack because what person from California doesn’t know how to swim? But then given what he knew about Mac’s early childhood, it made sense and it made him sad to think about and it goes on with

Well if ya want, I could teach ya. My little niece is star on the swim team in her school and I’d like to think it’s cuz of me; take ya to the lake where everyone learns how

And Mac’s silent for a second before

I’d actually really enjoy that. Thank you
