the 'talktables' in dao and da2 are the files containing all the text ever used in the game and are typically separated into two talktables per module (in which a module is like.. the base game or a specific dlc): one in the 'module' data folder and the other in the 'core' data folder (typically sorted under 'packages', rather than 'module').

the core talktable generally contains asset text (eg, ability, item, and creature names/descriptions, most codex entries, loading screen text, gui buttons and tooltips, error messages, etc). while most modules have a core talktable, the whole idea of the base game's core resources is to be available to any addons.

the module talktable is where all text specifically related to that module is listed (eg, mostly dialogue, but also specific character names, plot item names/descriptions, plot-related codex entries, etc). this is where the vast majority of dlc text is stored (and the vast majority for the base game too; there's a lot more text in dialogue than in menu options).

a/n: Im fERAL over Professor Price contents, and I NEED MORE- so here's my take, with a spin! >:)

Pairing: Professor John Price x fem!reader x Mr Simon Riley

Notes:

✎…Banner taken from Pinterest and edited, drawing done by @gomzdraws ✎…Reader's texts are in purple, indented text are memories ✎…Want to be added into a tag list? click here ✎…Part 1 (you're here!) is introduction, just me setting the scene for our reader and displaying the vibes from Price and Riley in this AU ✎…Part 2 is smut :) tags will be shown there but in short it is a slow build up ✎…Chocolate is just my thoughts, process, notes, recommendations and future planning for the series, I welcome discussions over there if you're interested :D

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

➵ Part 1

You rubbed your eyes as you finished scribbling around your tablet, noting down the last important point of the lecture with a small yawn. Maybe staying up late and studying four chapters ahead was not a good idea after all. But you always study ahead because you take a longer time to understand and digest information. Not that you’re slow or anything, but sometimes the lecturers speak too fast or brush over some points that make you feel puzzled or confused, and that confusion often carries on to the next content, but feeling prepared for a lesson is also a good practice even if that is not the case.

"That will be all for today."

The statement elicited a few cheers and sighs from the students as Mr. Simon Riley, the lecturer in charge of the module today, ended the class. You liked his class because he was great at explaining everything, easily breaking down big chunks of information into small, digestible notes to see the entire picture. What you really like about him, though, is how he always offers to help out when you have any questions.

You glance back at him who was organising his papers on the podium, staring down from your seat as you take in the view. Well, other than the black mask he wore all the time, he is pretty built for a lecturer; perhaps he worked out a lot given how tight those sleeves clinched onto his arms.

You waited until most of the students left as you took your bags and walked up to him, with one tablet in hand and the notes you'd been making. You spoke to him politely after giving him a smile.

Good evening, Mr. Riley. Can I ask you a few questions about the lectures today?

Ah, y/n. Sure, how can I help you at this time?

You proceed to voice out your concerns as he nods and explains. You can feel him standing close to you by your side as you go on, catching a whiff of his cologne sometimes and blushing slightly when his hand brushes against your finger when he takes your stylus pen. You admit you have imagined him in some other ways.

Can you understand? 

He asks you as you glance back at him. Your words catch in your throat as you realise the close proximity; he was just a few inches away from your face, and you swear you would have been able to count the freckles on his pale face. 

A-ah, yes, yes... Thank you, sir. 

You replied back as calmly as you could before slowly turning away and saving your document. He gives a hum as a reply before he glances around and pats your head, like he always does whenever you answer him back, a small gesture that always sends butterflies in your stomach.

Good girl. You know where to find me if you have any more issues. 

Good girl. 

You give him a nod as you hurriedly make for the exit. You’d like to think he treats every student this way, giving praise and guiding them when needed. It’s not like you’re the only student he teaches in class; there are always a few girls who like to surround him sometimes. 

Girls, who, in your opinion, were much prettier than you. Pretty hair, pretty faces, and pretty voices with their pretty outfits that never seem to repeat every day. Meanwhile, you’re more on the formal mundane side, wearing a hoodie most of the time with a pair of black pants during casual lessons; if not, you often wear a white button-up and a long skirt like today. As long as it's comfortable and it's compliant with the university dress code, which, in your opinion, no one really follows, it's good enough for you because you don’t really fuss in terms of appearance; you just want to do well on your course. 

Yet, part of you still indulges in thinking that maybe he did treat you differently than other students. You collected every praise and "good job" handed out by him like a trophy; it also made you push yourself further, chasing after those achievements and scoring well in exams just to get a pat from him on the head or your shoulder, or if you’re lucky, sometimes you’ll get to see him smile without his mask on.

You stop for a moment as you walk past a window, noticing how flushed your cheeks have become from your own thoughts. You shake your head and adjust your hair before a voice catches your attention. 

Evening, y/n, just finished your class?

You look ahead to the source of the voice and give a bow as you nod. 

Ah, good evening, Professor Price. Yes, I just finished the last class of the day. 

He hummed as a reply as he walked closer to you, giving you a smile as you stared at him. He is also another lecturer who is great at what he is doing, though he is slightly more strict and intimidating than Mr. Riley. You wonder if it's because of his much rougher, deeper voice or the muttonchop that made him look older; not that you mind; if anything, he is incredibly dashing in your opinion. With the sway of his hips and his confident voice, sometimes you would get lost in his features in the class, distracting you in a sense.

How’s the assignment coming along? Still having difficulties with it? 

He stops before you and leans on the window with his arm crossed. You gulp when you remember that a few days ago you were asking him a bunch of questions in his office, to which he helped you out immensely, but there are still just a few concepts that you’re not very sure of. Sometimes, he’ll ask you a random question related to the project that, if you can't answer straight away, he’ll shake his head and flick your forehead. You whine every time, but he only chuckles and continues teaching, while calling you nicknames that melts your heart a little every time. 

If you can’t understand this simple concept, then it’ll be harder to grasp it in the next few chapters, darling. I know… but it still hurts. What a soft baby you are Hey, I'm not! 

You know that as annoying as he can be, he only wants the best for his students, so you still try hard every time on his modules, spending more effort just to impress him, to hear him chuckle and pat your back, and to feel the warmth of his hand on yours. 

Ah well- 

y/n! 

You get caught off guard as you look behind, curious as to who called for you and surprised to see Mr Riley jogging towards you and Prof Price. Both lecturers shared a glance in silence before Mr Riley glanced down at you and handed a book to you. 

You left this back at your desk.

Oh! I didn’t even notice... thank you. 

You take your notebook and smile at him, sliding it into your bag as you hear them speak. 

John.

It's good seeing you, Simon. 

You can’t help but feel like there is tension in the air as you look at them before clearing your throat as you awkwardly rub your neck. 

I- well, I guess I’ll get going. 

Not so fast-

Wait- 

Both of them reached out to grab your arm as you jolted slightly; their eyes widened as they, too, shared the same expression. Prof Price was the first to break contact as he let go and cleared his throat, with Mr. Riley following as he glanced away.

You were talking about the assignment. 

You give an "ah" as you snap your fingers. 

Oh right, actually, regarding that, I'm still not certain with the last few points, but I can send you a text on Team instead of taking your time-

No, it’s okay. My office like last time? 

Oh, are you sure? I really don't want to impart your schedule, sir. 

Im sure, darling. 

You stopped protesting as you nodded sheepishly. You watched from the corner of your eyes how Mr Riley was acting rather strangely; his fist curled up into a ball as he glared at Prof Price. You gently grab his sleeves as you tilt your head and stare at him with concern. 

Sir? 

You felt his breath hitch as he snapped his eyes back to you, his gaze softening as he sighs, pats your hand, and nods. You smiled when you saw his tense shoulders relaxed. Prof Price then starts walking to his office as you do the same, with Mr Riley following you close behind. 

I didn’t realise that this assignment was your business as well, Simon.

I may not be the module coordinator, but I’m well versed in the subject too, Professor. 

Once again, the tension returned as you nervously grabbed onto your bag strap, clearing your throat as you tried to stand between them, awkwardly bumping their chest as you gestured your hands in the air. 

E-erm, I wouldn't mind hearing a second opinion…?

You glanced at Prof Price innocently as he stared back at you with a frown while Mr Riley gave a huff of air and nod.  

Ah crap, now I'm pissed off the professor- 

Alright, fine, sure, if it means helping you.

Prof Price said with a groan as he opened the door and guided both of you into his office.

You took a seat on the mahogany office table that wass smaller than his main office desk, taking out your tablet and books as you asked Prof Price your questions. He takes a seat next to you as Mr. Riley does the same, effectively sandwiching you in between them.

You tried your hardest to calm down your heartbeat, praying the fast thumping against your chest and the bounce of your jugular vein were not as loud as you think. You really tried to keep it cool, but every single time they leaned closer, speaking directly into your ears, it made your skin twitch with goosebumps, and the way they took turns praising you when you get things right was making your head dizzy. You swallow hard as you listened and jotted down the notes and points both lecturers were sharing, hoping they don’t notice how your fingers are shaking slightly. 

But of course they noticed. Prof Price leans in as he whispers into your left ear, feeling his beard brushing against your skin. 

Are you alright, darling?

Meanwhile Mr Riley cups your hand as he rubs circles around your knuckles, staring at you as he too, also leans in and watches you with his hazelnut eyes, feeling his chest resting behind your arms.   

I-erm…y-yes… 

You sure? Your cheeks are pretty red. 

Mr. Riley says with a soft tone as he brings his hand and gently strokes a hair strand and tucks it behind your ear, brushing your cheek as you feel your neck burning up. You were about to say something before an arm snaked around your shoulder and pulled you away from him. You gasped when you rested against Prof Price’s shoulder. 

I don’t think it's appropriate to touch a student, Simon.

You’re the one to talk. 

Mr. Riley bit back with a growl as he grabbed your wrist and pulled your arm, causing you to wince slightly at the sudden force as you closed your eyes. 

H-hey erm- 

You called out as you stared back at them nervously, gulping as you watched them stare at you with an expression that sent shivers down your spine. It felt dangerous…but also….enticing. 

What….what’s going on?

You asked again with a shaky tone as they let go of you and sighed. You could tell there was hesitation in the air as Mr. Riley cleared his throat and spoke softly.

y/n…. 

He sucks in another breath as he rubs his neck, unsure and nervous. Prof Price rolls his eyes as he shakes his head and tilts your chin, giving you a sly smirk as he brushes his thumb. 

We’re just wondering…what your opinion is about us.

You blushed at the question as you held your breath, uncertain if you should be honest and confess right then and right now. You looked away shyly as you heard Mr. Riley chuckled, taking off his mask and placing it on the table as he started kissing your knuckles gently as he whispered softly. 

Come on, tell us...you think we don’t know the glances you give us during class? 

I…well- erm- 

You stuttered as you felt Prof Price’s hands slowly trailing down to your waist, resting them there as you felt his breath fanning against the nape of your neck. 

Getting shy of us now, are you? 

You let out a shaky exhale as you hid your face with your hands, unable to face them and be caught red-handed, muttering apologies as you tried to inch away from them. 

I-Im sorry I know I shouldn't-

Hey hey, look at me sweetheart. 

Simon cooed as he took your wrist and rubbed soothing circles on it, easing your nerves as his soft voice calms you down. 

We can stop…, I promise I wouldn’t mind.

Likewise here. I wouldn’t want to make my favourite student uncomfortable.

Real sly, she's mine old man-

Both men bickered around you and couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, making them focus on you again as you cleared your throat and replied meekly.

You are not making me uncomfortable, both of you, I mean... Im just… 

You start off slowly as you take a deep breath, before blinking a few more times as you let out a sigh. 

I just didn’t expect this, I suppose… 

You blushed at your own words as you stared at them through your lashes, watching them shift slightly in silence. 

But why me...?

You dare to ask as they share a glance, then smile back at you as Prof Price snakes his arms around your waist and pulls you close to his chest, while Mr Riley grabs your legs and rests them on his thigh, leaning in close as they caress your hands and face softly. 

We’ll show you why, would you like that darling? 

You nod slowly, heart brimming with anticipation as Prof Price taps your cheeks, angling your face towards him as you feel the deep rumble of his chest against your back.

Words baby. We need to be absolutely sure that you want this.

Just as much as we want you. 

Mr. Riley now hovers over you, and both men await your answer with hungry eyes.

➵ Part 2 | ➵ Chocolate

[artificial-absinthe]

I wanted to give my point of view as someone who enjoys fem!Megs.

It's true, a lot of content made is ooc and people having fun making up things. We should have came up with a tag a while ago, it just didn't seem like a big deal at the time. I can't speak for all of them but we genuinely didn't mean to cause this much trouble.

I personally jumped in the bandwagon to try and express certain parts of myself that I was never able to explore freely but that would be too much stuff you probably don't care about.

I don't mind using a new tag/another tag at all and im sure others don't mind too. I think the main issue came from your wording of the request and the way you have been responding. 

As someone who has difficulty understanding tones of sentences you're words were (to me) snobbish and rude.

I know you hate it but please try to understand some people might misunderstand you. The way youve been speaking about the issue made it look like it was an absolute stain and abomination to fandom culture.

Another thing I would like to say is that yes, there is a lot of ooc stuff. I can't control the number of time people post. But some people have completely normal AU/headcanons where everything is the same except Megatron is female.

Some of them only use the character as a placeholder or a doll to represent certain things. Should it be tagged as ooc? Yes. Absolutely. But please try to understand that based on some of your replies, not everyone will take it kindly. You've given some people a bad "attitude" despite giving suggestions such as blocking blogs and tags.

It's true, some anons are rude and infuriating but don't forget to try and see other's perspectives.

Im sorry this is just a messy ramble, I only wanted to share my perspective/opinion on the situation.

-ZN

Actually, I modulated the words to be polite. I'm quite sure I do not insulted anyone, nor even placed adjectives on the trend, or anything of the like. I do find it odd that people agreeing with me don't think I'm being aggressive, while those who like the trend perceive me as rude and snobbish.

Perhaps it's only my way of speaking, I'm not cute nor try to be it. I'll let you know that I'm not the kind of person who places emoticon hearts all over to make the post seem friendly. It might also seem as a disposition to read things in bad faith, or the unwillingness to accept arguments or disagreement when the one disagreeing does not constantly apologizes for disagreeing. This is actually my politeness. If we were face to face you'll perhaps be able to see that. Usually, writing comes across the way the reader is more inclined to interpret it in this cases. I'm absolutely insufferable when I'm aggressive, I recognize that (which I'm not being right now nor in any of my responses). I'm just not your kind of creature/person, I assume.

And yes, as I said many times by now, whatever the reason to be on some kind of content, fun, trend, etc, whoever enjoys it will do and is free to do whatever they like. By all means, do it. Just be aware that not everyone likes it and there's nothing horrifying on people trying to avoid that thing while making use of a function that exist exactly for this reason.

[thatstheproblemwithnapkinman]

What sports have you played/do you play?

growing up i played rugby and hockey for the school teams, i also casually played netball and football. at my high school we had to pick sports in year 10 and i chose the most active ones bc i was sick and tired of being thrown into the less active sports bc i wasn't as fast or as coordinated and it was awesome

currently, i've always been big into cycling which is hilarious for someone with dyspraxia

Do you use sarcasm?

i'm british, what do you think? (that's a big yes)

First thing you notice about people?

hair. idk why but i just do. i think it's because i can't do faces so i stick to hair, i like seeing the styles and colours. it tells me nothing about them but i'm always interested

Scary movies or happy endings?

happy endings all the way. i'm a sucker for soppy stories that let me cry bc they give me a reason to get my emotions out y'know. and i'm an even bigger fan if it's in my fandoms (which they never are unless it's fanfics)

What are your hobbies?

writing, reading (mostly fanfics), playing a small selection of video games (minecraft, sims 4, assassins creed odyssey), comics, listening to music which is totally a hobby, i'm learning the ukulele again maybe...

What is your eye colour?

bc of how my eyelashes cast shadows, my eyes look like chocolate curls, y'know these things

my eyes are the like one thing i like about myself, i have good eyes

Any talents?

nope. i can't draw, can't sing or play any instrument, i can barely speak my first language, i'm not sporty, i'm good but not exceptional at school, i don't even have good general knowledge, genuinely i have no talents.

which is sad given i used to have most of them. growing up i did everything and was decent. i got school solos, played the guitar and piano, acted in school plays, was on sports teams, top of my class, literally learning multiple languages at once, guess the former gifted kid that turned out to be disabled burnout hit me hard lmao

but fine, i write but i'm mid tier at it AT MOST

somewhere between 5'7" and 6 foot. wish i knew where in that (i think i'm like 5'8"-5'9" but people disagree) but it's safe to say i am taller than average

Favourite subject in school?

maths and science. all science. love it all. i did love english too until i had a bad teacher. oh and art was always fun, especially the construction module where we made physical things (it wasn't a sculpture). and geography. actually i loved most subjects in school

Dream job?

it's so stupid but i'd love to write AND do science research. acting would also be cool but that's so much commitment with little return and i'm not conventionally attractive so there's literally no point and i'd rather have a stable career

anyway, i have to tag people but i'll only tag my moots and the ones i've spoken to outside of tumblr bc i hate tagging people lmao... @somniphobicfox @avogadrostoast6022 @she-posts-nerdy-stuff and literally anyone else that wants to do this :p

[jgvfhl]

You got it!! Shameless self-plug alert for the first 3 links cuz those are miinne :)

These next ones are series (or parts of them). The series Domino can get really heavy (I haven't made it thru a single chapter without tearing up) so just read all the tags. Same goes for the first series listed here (it's whumpay, so not surprising).

Happy reading!!!

hi, yes, anyone have any Fives and Echo reunion fic recs?

[quaranmine]

I'm suffering greatly in GIS again but at least I'm watching a techno stream VOD

the question is if I'll finish the VOD first or this one step that I've been stuck on for over two hours

[the-orangeauthor]

hey!! sorry if this ask is random, (ive sent you an ask before, but idk if you remember :P) i just wanted to ask about biomed as a subject in uni since im planning on pursuing it too!!

what kinds of things do you learn?? (the course syllabus is so vague. so vague) like i see topics like musculoskeletal system and chemical biomed but what EXACTLY goes in it?

any textbooks/resources that you’d recommend?? every college recommends like 10 books of their own and there’s so many online but which ones are actually useful??

on that note, any place i can get secondhand textbooks from??

some tips you absolutely HAVE to know as a biomed student?

if you’ve reached there, how do you plan for a dissertation/thesis paper? Just an outline of the steps if you could :D

thanks so much for your time and support and hope you have a great day/night!!

Hi!! unfortunately tely I have the memory of a fish unless you're in my face all the time, so I dont remember you but you are always welcome in my inbox regardless!!

there quite a lot to unpack in this so I might make it into several posts for the sake of length but I'll tag you in each part!

what kinds of things do you learn?? (the course syllabus is so vague. so vague) like i see topics like musculoskeletal system and chemical biomed but what EXACTLY goes in it?

this is a good question, biomed is an incredibly broad degree when it comes to science, which is what makes biomed graduates desirable in loads of different fields. I can give you a quick breakdown of the variety of modules I did over the years to show you how!!

Anatomy and physiology :

Does what it says on the tin, we looked at different parts of the anatomy more specifically different organs systems and looked at their normal functions in a healthy person as well as possible pathologies/diseases of the systems eg different lung diseases when we did respiratory systems etc. the diseases ranged from those that can be inherited to those that you develop due to lifestyle or those caught by pathogens so it covered a huge amount.

Research skills / lab skills:

The greatest opportunity you will get to play with lab equipment. The professors will set up series of investigations you can do so you can get a feel for how different equipment in the lab works since university will have a lot more specialist equipment than you’re used to - this will definitely come in hand if you take on a practical dissertation project as it will build your confidence with the machines!

Biochemistry :

A lot of people on my course found this the hardest of all the modules we studied, since it has a lot more chemistry compared to the rest of the course which is heavily biology focused. In biomchem we looks at molecular structures and thier interactions with each other, biological molecules like water, glucose, lipids etc, to understand why these chemicals have certain properties and how the human body is adapted to utilise them.

Cell biology:

Another straight forward one - where anatomy and physiology looked at organs and organ systems, cell biology is focused on the function of individual cells and how they’re adapted to their functions. There’s a lot more details to the internal structure of the cell and how they join together and communicate etc

As the years go on the modules will split into more specialised subjects but still build on the more basic ones I explained above:

Tissue science /histology / histopathology :

Like cell biology, you study cells and tissues, but you also look at diseases - this includes things like cancer and the physical changes that cells undergo as they become tumours and you look at the grading /staging system for cancers. You also look at a lot of autoimmune disorders - diseases where the body is attacking itself - and see how that effects tissue structure. You are likely to get lab sessions looking at diseased tissues.

Infection science / immunity :

All diseases under the sun, with a bit of a heavier focus on those you get from pathogens. You’ll look at several examples for each type, viral, bacterial, fungal etc and look at the effect they have on tissues, organs and the person as a whole - you are likely to get case studies where they tell you the patients symptoms and some test results and ask for a possible diagnosis. A lot of time spent looking at the immune system in more detail - there is always more detail

Medicinal chemistry :

This topic was all about the body and drug interactions so this is where doing biochemistry really helped as we looked at functional groups on drugs and how some were more or less suited for the compound etc. we looked at the process of clinical trials, formulation of drugs, played around with exploring their 3D structure with cool software - very different from the other topics but just as interesting for sure

Blood science / haematology:

Probably one of my favourites because my professor was amazing but it is exactly what it says. We study the blood from how the cells form (including red and white blood cells) disorders of the blood like sickle cell, leukaemia etc, how the shape of cells is affected by the different diseases etc etc. we also spend a lot of time looking at blood testing and lab results since a lot of people in biomed will go on to work in hospital labs - this is one of the more relevant topics towards career progression if you want to avoid further studies. Because we look at lab reports you’ll also get a fair amount of case studies in this topic too.

Medical genetics :

I took this as an optional module so you may not (or at least not go into as much detail) on this but medical genetics was spent looking at DNA and chromosomes and how inherited disorders can arise as well as the importance of coding and non-coding regions of DNA and gene therapy

Parasitology:

Another optional module, but covered briefly in infection science, it goes into parasites in a lot more detail - this different types, how they spread, where they spread, the symptoms, the treatment etc - not for the faint of heart there are many a picture of worms in places where there shouldn’t be worms that are permanently seared into my brain

Overall the modules are broad but there is definite overlap between each one and things you learn in one module you may come across in another. All of them were very interesting and you may study them across multiple years (but it would be the advanced syllabus the following year) so your knowledge on it will become well rounded as it gradually builds.

This is pretty long so I’ll answer your thesis and textbook questions in a second post today! I hope this helped and feel free to ask more questions if you like.

Soo... how would the Bad Batch react to a S/O that has a very snarky/dry sense of humor? Just always cracking jokes and finding humor in everything? (Love ur content btw <3)

Thank you for your request!!! And THANK YOU IM GLAD U LIKEY!!!!

Ok I have seen this but knew it would take me hours to write so I was waiting for the write moment! (get it? write = right? teehee) talk about a terribly dry sense of humour my goodness.

How Would The Bad Batch React to a Snarky/Witty/Dry Sense of Humour Significant Other (s/o)

Factz: Not even kidding, I feel like the boys would kill for a hella sassy partner in crime.

Hunter

Oh my gosh they are literally best friends!!! They speak in a very similar style to each other.

Hunter expects a little bit of snark from Cross, sarcasm from Echo, and quips from Tech, but when his s/o just dishes his dry humour right back at him the first time they meet, he's like "Why was that so... hot???"

So from then on, most of the dialogue exchanged between the two of them are like super sassy comments and witty replies, until it unintentionally gradually morphs into really heavy flirting. They get so into teasing each other, the whole batch can feel the tension in the air.

Of course both are oblivious of this for the longest time.

But when eventually they do figure it out and get together, the whole batch sigh in relief thinking "finally this intense pining is over"... But it actually just gets worse?

So now during missions, the two of you verbally dance around each other like you're in some comeback war.

In the middle of a serious mission:

Hunter: "I need you here now!"

S/O: "wow wow Hunter. babe. cool your jets. i know we haven't really done it in a while but we're in the middle of a mission and-"

Hunter: "As much as I love how you think mesh'la, I think you're misreading the situation."

His s/o also keeps ruining his *tough guy* persona. During briefs, his s/o keeps making him crack his skillfully honed poker face.

The teasing through dry humour is just a really fun and goofy way to connect to each other and is their common ground of affection.

Tech

We all know Tech is a witty boi, and man do we love him for it!

Tech finds his s/o's attitude quite entertaining.

He does like it when they use their snarkiness to defend him from people that give him a hard time, but he like his s/o's humour best when it's just the two of them having fun.

I feel like Tech would find it 10x funnier if his s/o was also really smart and able to understand his technical language, because they just pass these really witty/funny quips back and forth to each other that are actually hilarious but no one understands. It's like their own hidden language.

Now we've seen Tech smile and m a y b e chuckle a little before?? But so far, we've yet to see Tech actually laugh and I headcanon that Tech snorts when he laughs. (Has anybody seen the live action TMNT?? Kinda like how Donnie laughs in those). So ohmiGOSH it's so WhOlEsOmE when his s/o makes Tech laugh!! He's so CUTE!

The rest of the batch will be out getting supplies while Echo works of the exterior hull of the ship and Tech and his s/o fix up the systems inside.

Tech laying under a panel: "Hm, this wire seems to be adhered to a far less efficient arrangement." Tech's s/o wordlessly shuffles over from their panel to analyse the problem. Their shoulders touch as they lie side by side.

S/o: "Mm, I think you're right, but see here? It looks like it's been manually transfigured. Probably by Echo in one of our many quick fixes. It looks like he's done it so he can easily access and program the flight module."

Tech: "I'm going to rewire it to-"

S/o: "To that one right?" His s/o says, suppressing a smile as they point to clearly the wrong wiring. Tech's eyes narrow and his brow furrows.

Tech: "Of course not! That would compromise the-" He catches a glimpse of his s/o's cheeky grin, "oh you're joking." His s/o bursts out laughing and he can't help the smile that stretches over his face as he shakes his head.

By the end of the repairs, the batch come back to find you both practically rolling on the ground in snorting fits of laughter.

Their humour paired with their competence makes them super attractive to him.

Wrecker

Wrecker finds his s/o's dry humour the funniest thing in the galaxy. He is one of those blessings that will always laugh at your jokes.

Which is a relief cuz I have dry humour and almost no one ever laughs at my jokes rip.

I mean, you guys saw how he reacted in ep 1 when Omega DeStRoYeD those regs in the mess hall. He was so proud and supportive of her.

So yeah he's pretty much his s/o's hype man.

He loves that his s/o's humour means that they quite enjoy playful competition and games. So they're always playing random games together, even going so far as to arm wrestle (S/o: "But we both already know who's going to win... Me. Obviously.")

And sometimes he will let his s/o win, just because he thinks it's so cute when they start flexing their arms and boasting about how strong and amazing they are.

He knows they're joking. He knows they know he let them win. But even though they've never really beaten him, he still thinks they're strong and amazing.

There is always friendly banter between the two but what Wrecker loves the most is how easy his s/o makes things for him.

He's not a natural at romance, and often finds himself making mistakes or he might do something a little awkwardly. But instead of being mad, disappointed, or judgmental, his s/o just smiles or laughs it off and walks him through things.

He feels like he can always be himself around his s/o.

Crosshair

Again, it's canon and fanon that Cross is a bit of a grumpy pants so he obviously finds his s/o's wit irritating at first. Which his s/o finds annoying, so his s/o just does it more just to get under his skin.

Totally enemies to lovers trope. I see it no other way. FiGhT me.

His s/o would make jokes all the time but I see that one day, his s/o makes a dry joke and he gives them crap for it, and they've just had enough and so they absolutely *slam* him with snark, sass, and wit that cannot be rivalled by Crosshair himself. They get right up into his face; tension as thick as s o u p.

And then he just grabs their face and makes out with them.

His s/o's like "ok" and totally rolls with it.

The Bad Batch wonder why they don't fight as much anymore (not that they're complaining).

Now they both use their sass to bully the regs.

They kinda become this unbeatable pair of unrivalled attitude. Unlike Hunter and his s/o who use it to tease each other, while Cross and his s/o do that a little too, they mostly direct their humour and sarcasm outward. Cross's s/o is a little more good natured than him though and will pull him in when he goes a bit too far.

He generally finds his s/o's humour quite funny now (though he'll never admit it), and the fact that he smiles a little more doesn't go unnoticed by his brothers.

Echo

Ok while Hunter is master of the dry humour, Echo is KING of sarcasm.

Having said that, I feel like Echo would actually far more appreciate light humour over sass/snark/wit/etc.

I think after being through the crap he's been through, echo baby just needs a light hearted, positive beam of sunshine in his life and his s/o is it.

He loves that his s/o always has a way of making others laugh and smile, even on really hard missions and in rough times.

I think his s/o having a lighter humour also makes him feel safer. Like there's no chance of miscommunication whereby this s/o accidently hits a sensitive topic. His s/o sticks to surface level humour which makes it easy to digest.

They are also absolutely fantastic at telling funny stories which is a real treat when his s/o will retell stories about some of the missions the Bad Batch has done and they just execute the story perfectly.

Echo is in love with his s/o's laugh and thinks it's so cute when they giggle at their own jokes.

He'll never say it, but his s/o's humour sometimes reminds Echo of Fives and Cutup, which is a bit bittersweet for him.

They say that "a joyful heart is good medicine" and for Echo that couldn't be more true. His s/o's joyful heart and nature revive and heal him. He is so much happier because of them and will tell them so in between little kisses as his s/o giggles playfully at his gentle yet eager ministrations.

The Ackles' like all of Misha's recent posts, but not Jared's is giving me major #mood

OKAY !

for no other reason than somehow getting fixated on this slowly over the past week, im gonna do something and dive in fully

i also dont know what this means but i vow to find meaning in here

here is the run down because i get asks all the time about this.

in the past most recent posts of misha’s, jensen has liked 5/9 and in the past 9 most recent posts of j*red’s, he has liked 4/9

so ! not too big a difference...however, those are not the only factors !

since just before the new year until now, jensen has liked 5 of misha’s posts. he has liked 0 of j*red’s.

he has also liked 9/9 (official winner!!!! best husband award 💖) of danneel’s most recent posts

j*red has liked 0/9 most recent posts on misha, jensen, danneel and gen’s feeds (his last liked jensen post is aug 28, jensen’s finale script video)

misha has liked 4/9 most recent posts on jensen’s feed, 0/9 most recent posts on j*red’s feed, 5/9 on danneel’s most recent posts and 0/9 of gen’s posts

danneel has liked 1/9 most recent posts on misha’s feed, 0/9 most recent posts on j*reds feed, 2/9 most recent posts on jensen’s feed and 3/9 most recent posts on gen’s feed.

gen has liked 0/9 most recent posts on jensen’s feed, 7/9 most recent posts on j*red’s feed, 0/9 most recent posts on misha’s feed and 2/9 on danneel’s feed

this also doesn’t account for precedent...how common is this, [when] did it change etc....expect organized chaos....

however, im gonna need to analyze amount of posting...four of jensen’s likes to misha’s account were in the past two days, for example....which is why i am going to...god i...im going to be doing a jensen/misha/j*red/danneel/gen like module of some sort. i think im gonna stick it into a good spreadsheet and have different variables set up so date of posts, how much time in between likes, how often has this happened before, mean number of likes per person per acct ? god why am i doing this but like my brain has been thinking about this for ages, so...expect this chaos more fleshed out tomorrow

ill be posting abt this under the tag #j-2-m+wives insta-vestigation if u wanna block it

[seafleece]

hi! im finally running my own curse of strahd campaign i can check out your tag, something ive been meaning to do for a while :D. Hope you are having a good day!

:0 have fun!! my curse of strahd is sort of a leaves covering a pit trap situation where the leaves are me saying i will definitely use this module and dangling recognizable npcs and the pit trap is completely different themes and encounters and backstories for all of those npcs but i hope it lends some kind of inspiration at least!

[jangofctts]

imagine being an admiral or another officer of the gar and... the battle was lost, blue is missing in action, and none of the boys are willing to admit that their brother is gone. sweets is begging blanche and sobbing his heart out for the commander to let him back out on the field and find something. anything that proves that blue is alive. a dog tag maybe. void doesn't know what to do, so he does what he knows. works and works and works until he's throwing up and burning a fever so hot because he won't take a break. bruiser and kami are ready to start a whole other war just to find their brother. and fuse's hands are burned from not paying attention when he's playing with matches. he tries to light the stick just to make his thoughts shift somewhere else, but he's lost as well. being a child soldier is rough, but it's worse when you lose a part of you every time on the battlefield

JUST SO YOU KNOW THIS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED ME IM CRYIN AND OOF I WROTE YOU SOMETHIN 

sunburst squadron // platonic fem!reader (for nOW)

warnings: mentions of death, loss, grieving, sAD VIBES

“I can find him. Please.“ The waver in the sharpshooter’s words is worse than a rusty nail through flesh. It’s the desperation mixed with uncertain fear—a pleading warble you hear on someone who is not used to loss, to losing a brother. “Let me back out—“ 

Fuse drops his eyes, numb to the searing touch of the little flame once it eats away at the match. He’ll have a blister on the tips of his fingers but he doesn’t find it in him to care. What’s his pain worth compared to that of his sergeant lying somewhere hurt or dead in the ruined cities of Ryloth? Fuse scoffs and drags the head of another match over the plastoid covering his thigh. It sputters to life as Jaws and Bruiser wrestle Sweet’s away from Commander Blanche—stoic as ever as he explains that there’s no time to look, that Blue is on his own now.

No matter how well Blanche hides it, Fuse can see the devastation swirling through those mismatched eyes. Blue is his second sergeant—another trauma Blanche is forced to live through while still managing the blowback and the fallout of Max’s death, the first sergeant. Fuse never had the honor of knowing either of the sergeants as well as the rest of the squad had. It’s difficult to catch up when you’re raised with an entirely different squadron, different legion, different life. But it’s impossible to avoid the shockwave of horror and guilt writhing through the room like a plume of black smoke.        

Their general is missing too and…well, so are you. Sunburst’s resident translator.  

Fuse is still reeling from how quickly everything spun out of control. Separated from Kenobi’s forces, scrambled by an ambush and forced to retreat. Somehow the three of you were severed from the squad during the hasty escape. Kriff—you were right there. Fuse should have grabbed your hand.

He drops the burnt matchstick, props his elbows onto his thighs and hangs his head and pulls at the roots of his hair until it stings. This mission was supposed to be a peaceful negotiation. 

Sweets continues to sob and clutch at his sides once Jaws and Bruiser settle him onto the floor besides Fuse. The ship shutters as it docks and a moment later Kami wrenches open the panelling, wrath and furry all rolled into one. The hot-headed pilot juts a finger at Commander Blanche, voice crackling through the modulator with a jagged edge that they all can feel like a blade wedged into flesh. 

“You left them.” Kami snarls, trembling with adrenaline and anger. “They were right there! How could you leave Blue?”

The muscles in Blanche’s jaw jump as he clenches his teeth, brows furrowing as he takes a step forward meant to intimidate. Kamikaze is no coward, brushes aside the fact that the Commander could crush him like a grape, and refuses to back down. The baritone growl of Blanche’s next words scrape down Fuse’s nerves with a prickle of apprehension. “You are out of line, soldier.”

Kami scoffs and throws his hands up. “The only thing out of line, Sir—“

Before Kami can bark out the rest of his insult, Void slaps him upside the helmet and ushers him out of the ship. Kami’s bickering can still be heard over Sweet’s crying and the swelling tension, crackling like the air just before a thunderstorm. Fuse swallows and avoids Blanche’s glare as the Commander slams his helmet back on and stalks off the MA/AT—traipsing away to report just how much of a failure this was. Void returns, ushering each one of them out of the ship and onto the venator to grieve elsewhere. 

Fuse is the last one left. He’s still clutching his hair, staring blankly at his scuffed boots, still painted that lackluster red he hasn’t gotten around to painting over with cyan. No one’s offered him the paint and Fuse never asked. 

The medic’s boots plant themselves before him, his tongue clicking in disappointment. Void, grabs Fuse’s hand and shakes his head with a sigh. “Stop setting your fingers on fire. I don’t wanna waste synthskin on injuries that can be avoided.” 

Fuse scowls, wrenches his hand away and stands. “Then don’t. ‘M fine.” He pulls on his helmet that smells like burning plastic and sweat, and shoves past the medic. Void is clever enough not to waste any precious energy on a bullheaded idiot like Fuse—he has a mountain of patients waiting for him and only two pairs of hands. Void spares one last wary glance before disappearing into the crowd.               

From across the hangar Fuse spots Commander Blanche. Commander Cody lays a comforting hand over Blanche’s shoulder as General Kenobi gestures to the hologram map. Fuse sighs—his general is more than likely alive and well but as for you and Blue? Chances are slim.  

Fuse wanders towards the more familiar, blank walls of the venator and soon steps through the blast doors to the barracks. Bruiser and Jaws are curled up with Sweets, still comforting the kid as his shoulders shudder, little whimpers escaping the pillow he’s thrust his face into. 

Just as Fuse reaches his hands up to wrench off his helmet, the coms crackle through the earpiece with a distorted voice. He freezes. 

It sounds like you. 

It’s a scrambled mess of static and fuzzy shapes of words but the one Fuse hear, clear as day is—   

“Alive—“
