7, 19, 20 for salty ask!

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now? Nesta and Cassian. They were my favorite thing in book 3 and then book 5 came along and well, you know how it went. Generally Cassian. He was my favorite IC member and now he just annoys me. Sigh.

19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom? That some people take these books so damn serious. All the discourse about problematic this and abuse that, as if any of these characters were real. Also how it all leads to the hate messages and fighting and drama because someone likes the wrong characters or depicts them wrong or whatever. It's all so damn stupid.

20. What is the purest ship in the fandom? Tamcien. Some people might disagree because of all the angst from book 2 onward, and sure, but especially if you go to pre-book 1 I feel it's very pure. Just two boys who lost everything taking care of each other. ;_;

Jamil being reluctant to speak up about his problems with Kalim because of his family ‘possibly being thrown out of their jobs and home’ is so real now that Chapter 7 confirmed that the Asims own Jamil’s house and the Vipers live on Asim property. I had a feeling he was but it’s nice to see it verbally confirmed 😭

Ok well i had the brief thought “what about an ER nurse Eddie au?” and then this popped fully formed into existence so fuck it Friday pt 2.. warnings for smoking and vague references to critically injured kids

“That doesn’t seem very healthy.”

Smoke curls up from the cigarette held loosely in Eddie’s hand. “It’s not, particularly.”

Buck’s hands are in his pockets as he strolls away from the glass doors out into the ambulance bay where Eddie is doing the mature, professional equivalent of playing hide and seek. He comes to a stop barely a foot or two away from where Eddie leans against grimy concrete. “Didn’t know you were a smoker.”

“I’m not,” Eddie sighs, “Particularly.” He looks over Buck’s face as he takes a drag, cataloging bruises and cuts. He hadn’t been the one to look him over before he was discharged, probably because he was out here avoiding having to do so. “Only when it’s- only after the bad shifts.” And only once a month, even if the bad shifts come again and again. He bought this pack in January, it’s stale as shit.

Buck’s eyes follow the smoke as it drifts skyward. “Rough one today?”

Eddie thinks he probably doesn’t have to explain to Buck that it’s sometimes better when a kid is dead on arrival so he doesn’t have to try his best to administer care he knows will be useless. He doesn’t have to explain a day where nothing goes right and he loses more people than he can save and he still has to walk away from someone’s parent or wife or sister, left behind forever in a waiting room on the worst day of their life, and go on to lose the next person too. Doesn’t have to explain why he’s out here, and not in there. “Mm. We’ve got this repeat customer, always hate to have him back.”

Buck’s eyes flick to his face before they settle somewhere around his elbow. “Yeah?”

“Yeah. He seems like a nice guy. I worry about him. He’s here too often.”

Buck doesn’t look up. “What was he in for this time?”

“Minor concussion. Bruising. Lacerations.” Eddie sucks cancer into his lungs. “Heard a house fell on him.” Exhales it into the night.

Buck does look up this time, eyes a darker blue out here in the shadows. “Part of a house. Just a staircase and the- like, the balcony, really.”

“Maybe he should stay away from those.”

“From houses?” Buck asks, half his mouth twitching into a smile.

Eddie rests his head on the wall behind him. “Guess that’s not really practical.”

“No.” Buck is quiet for a moment, one hand slipping out of his pocket and running through his hair. Eddie wonders what he looks like, when he’s not here. He’s more styled, sometimes, when things aren’t very bad. He wonders if he’s usually all gelled up and neat. Eddie kind of likes the loose curls. “I’m sorry.”

“For what?”

“Making your day worse.” Buck looks genuinely apologetic, and Eddie shakes his head.

“The guy made it out okay this time.” Buck is just close enough that Eddie can kick at his boot with his sensible orthopedic sneaker. “You didn’t even need stitches.”

“That’s good.” Eddie’s left foot is pressed along the inside of Buck’s right, and Buck is staring down at them. “His favorite nurse was on break. I would have missed you if someone else had to do them.”

Eddie laughs, just a few bursts of soundless oxygen. “You gotta find new ways to see me before something happens that I can’t fix.”

Buck moves, taking the few steps necessary to lean against the wall beside him. Carefully, he takes the cigarette from Eddie’s hand, holds it between two of his own fingers, and takes a drag. Eddie watches it happen like he’s monitoring somebody’s pulse ox, and when Buck coughs he laughs again, louder this time. “Fuck,” Buck says, laughing too. “Thought that would be cooler than it was.”

“Smoking isn’t cool, firefighter Buckley,” Eddie says, taking the cigarette back and pulling from it again between smiling lips.

“Hm,” Buck says, grinning out into the night. Then he sighs, and rolls his head along the concrete to look at Eddie. “I think there’s nothing you can’t fix.”

They’re very close. “There’s lots I can’t fix.”

Buck shrugs like he disagrees. “I also think I’d like to find other ways to see you.”

Buck’s eyes are even more in shadow at this angle, and they’re the color of the lake back in El Paso that he and a bunch of kids went to after graduation, drunk off beer somebody’s cousin got for them, skinny dipping with breathless terrified delight under bright constellations. “Then ask me.”

Buck inhales as Eddie exhales. “What time’s your shift end?”

“5:30 AM. So, probably 6:15.”

Buck traces the two fingers he’d used to hold the cigarette down Eddie’s arm. “You wanna get breakfast with me?”

“Yes. I would.”

Buck smiles, and Eddie snubs out the cigarette on the wall between them. “I’ll meet you here?”

“Alright.” He takes a step forward, then a step to the right so he’s standing in front of Buck. “Two hours.”

“Uh huh.”

He should really get back inside. They’re understaffed, as always, and there are too many patients, as always, and not enough beds, as always. “See you then.” He doesn’t make any move to leave.

“See you then,” Buck almost whispers. He leans forward, and Eddie still doesn’t move, so he presses a tiny kiss to the corner of his mouth for just a moment. His lips are warm. Eddie hadn’t noticed it was cold outside.

Buck pulls back and leans against the wall again. Eddie smiles, puts a hand in his pocket, and walks back toward the doors.

Dude I agree with your season 2 takes so hard. Another thing that pissed me the hell off was how the 3 characters that were established as having suicidal thoughts all ended up sacrificing themselves at the end. Super cool! not fucked up at all!

BRO I KNOW 😭

I THINK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME. ALL THREE. OF THE SUICIDAL CHARACTERS. ALL THREE.

Not to be crass. This is obviously a serious subject. But like, it's so genuinely bizarre and thoughtless it actually makes me laugh. I think because there's nothing else I can do. It's ridiculous.

The messaging, specifically with Jinx, was fucking chilling, and the justification the writers used for it after made it worse?

Like, oh, Jinx needed to sacrifice herself so vi could be happy with cait like are you FUCKING . SERIOUS. LIKE DFKJSHDFKjlh WHAT TRAIN OF THOUGHT WOULD MAKE SOMEBODY THINK THAT LIKE?!?!? WHAT LOGIC ?! HAS ANYONE IN THAT ROOM BEEN A SISTER ?!!? DO THEY KNOW WHAT SIBLINGS ARE ?!?!

Unfathomable. unfathomable.

Very much with jinx it was like, people with mental health problems are disposable burdens type thing. point blank. it really read like that. The fucking breaking the cycle shit? I was like, surely, surely, this is going to be pushed back against and Vi is going to immediately go save her because clearly she's expressing suicidal thoughts and running away but then instead She has SEX IN HER SISTERS PRISON CELL LIKE EX FUCKINGKDSFH !L??!?!

Sorry. You got me started on something. Like. You just. You can't make this shit up. I literally can't believe we all saw that with our own eye balls.

I think Jayce and Viktor on their own was a really suitable and beautiful ending for both of them, to be honest. But in this context its incredibly bizarre.

All three. All three.

I CANT DUDE

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.
