season 5 spoilers under cut

Mk, who was designed to be alone and worshiped. Mk, who was supposed to never have been given a choice. Mk, who has being a sacrifice built into his identity has friends who literally told him the opposite from the beginning. Not ONCE has Mk been alone, but he’s so caught up in destiny and predetermined fate that that’s all he think he can do. Everyone is telling him who he should be, because that’s how he was made to be like from the beginning… and yet, he’s learns

Catching my KDJ fragment ass in 4K wasn’t enough.

You really do live long enough to have extensive footage from your friends, a 360° camera, a drone shot, of you getting PROPOSED TO while wearing a white button down with a black top underneath.

I think some inherent comfort of the party’s relationship, of why they’re so tightly knit and wholesome, is that it’s kinda the embodiment of "people that care for each other unconditionally, so much so that you could be the biggest freak on Earth and they would still not turn their back to you". Like, Laios’ whole character arc is that he was scared of others and their judgement, that he should hide a big part of himself and his interests to be tolerated if not accepted… But showing himself to others was the road through which the party bonded and got closer, and by the end of the story Laios literally turns into his monster because it was his biggest wish and everyone sees it and also he eats his human body a lot. After that he runs to the woods and is so scared of everyone not wanting to see him again, but y’know what. It’s fine his party still loves him, and aghhhh ouch my heart

I think also, Izutsumi was central to the party having a found family feel. The party was mostly made of work colleagues acquaintances, but adopting a stray/teenager that has no one on the way in your grand adventure really makes the whole family vibe skyrocket.

Indulgent

It isn’t until he catches a glimpse of Eddie’s smile as he finishes cleaning up at the poker table that Buck thinks there’s something different tonight. It had been all fun and games at the firehouse. Tricking the B-Shift out of some of their money. But this?

Eddie purposely found a place where Buck could show off his new found skills, gleefully went along with losing to him and seemed happy to just watch Buck cream the rest of the players. When he had walked in and seen the Chief and Captain Mehta he was worried about what trouble he could get into, but Eddie’s presence made him feel safe enough to be himself.

When the topic of the lightning strike comes up, he shifts uncomfortably in his chair. “Three minutes seventeen seconds,” Eddie clarifies for them and for a moment the buzzing in Buck’s skull fades to something new. That’s such a specific number to know, but yet no one else at the table seems to acknowledge it.

Buck sets it aside for awhile, to focus on the game, but by the end of the evening he can’t think of anything else but Eddie’s soft smile and those seventeen seconds. His brain finally catches up to what he’s been trying to put to words all night long. Indulgent: having or indicating a tendency to be overly generous to or lenient with someone.

He could feel Eddie’s eyes on him as he drove them back to Eddie’s house. He can sense the smile on his face before he even looks over to catch Eddie’s eyes. There it is. And indulgent smile on his face. It’s his Buck smile. The one that says, “I’m happy to see you happy.” Before he can think about it he grabs Eddie’s hand as they walk to the kitchen.

“Thank you. For tonight.”

“It was fun. And now you have plenty of steak.”

“Some of which is staying here because my freezer cannot hold much more with all those casseroles everyone brought over. After-“ He cuts himself off. Eddie’s got that smile again. Buck thinks he could spend forever echoing that smile.

He realizes he never dropped Eddie’s hand once he thanked him. They both glance down but then Eddie adjusts their grip so their hands are intertwined. He squeezes Buck’s hand three times then lets it go. Buck lets it drop for now, but he can feel something has changed tonight. As he looses himself in another indulgent smile, he feels a sense of hope for the future he hasn’t felt in a long time. This is headed somewhere good, and he is willing to wait for it.

I filled out. All of my college transfer stuff with my new chosen name. Without thinking about the consequences. And now I’m having to explain to people why the envelopes don’t have my deadname. I was so caught up in the euphoria of filling things out with a name that finally felt like mine I didn’t even think about this. I have no brain cells.
