Since I am revisiting this ship thought I would share the ficlet that inspired the ship that is now, and probably always, my second favorite Aric ship (because @cinlat's Fynta and him are number one, but we use different skins so it's like a different character haha).

It's also 1 hit away from 600 so that exciting and they deserve to hit that milestone.

Summary: Aric wasn't surprised to wake up alone after spending a night with a turned Imperial Intelligence Agent. What did suprise him was her complaints about his dishes.

Aric wasn’t surprised to wake up alone. He woke up alone most days, so it wasn’t an unusual occurrence, but then most nights he went to bed alone.

That could not be said in this case. 

No when he went to bed, or more accurately, fell into bed he was in the company of a Chiss woman who was as beautiful as she was deadly – the way an Imperial Intelligence Agent turned spy for the Republic should be. 

While a small part of him was sad to wake up and find his bed occupied only by himself, he wasn’t going to admit that. He still wasn’t sure why he had let this happen, the last person the XO of Havoc Squad should be sleeping with was an Imperial Agent, former or not. The idea of the damage she could do with access to the information stored on their ship was chilling, and it made him grateful he had brought her back to his seldom used apartment for the privacy instead. 

Despite the obvious reasons it was a bad idea to get involved with Naadia, Aric couldn’t help but feel immensely satisfied. It had been several years since his last relationship and he wasn’t usually one for one-night stands. Last night had scratched an itch he had forgotten he had. 

If there was one bright spot to her being a one-time enemy, he didn’t have to worry about her wanting more than he could afford to give at the moment. With his recent promotion, and the war breaking out again there wasn’t time for a relationship in his life.  Her life as a double agent, reporting critical Imperial data to the SiS couldn’t have been any less hectic. 

That didn’t change the fact that he wished there was time for it. It wasn’t a desire he ever voiced, one he rarely thought of, but a mate and children? Those were things he genuinely wanted in his life. 

The sound of his bedroom door opening interrupted his musing about what a child that was a mix of Chiss and Cathar might look like. He sat up in surprise, his blankets pooling across his lap when Naadia poked her head in the room. 

“Hey, where do you keep your gravy boat?” 

Aric stared back at her, unsure if he was more bewildered by her presence or her question. 

Frowning at his silence, she stepped into the room properly and he could see she had taken one of his shirts to wear. “Aric,” she asked, her accented voice soft with concern, “are you alright?” 

He shook his head with a huff before looking up to meet her eyes. "I thought you'd be gone by the time I woke up.” 

Naadia smiled at him, “if you slept much later I might have been. I can’t dally about all day you know.” 

“And you want to know where I keep my…” his voice trailed off as he tried to remember what she had asked. 

“Gravy boat,” she supplied helpfully. 

“I don’t own a gravy boat.” 

She gave him a scandalized look, “no gravy boat? But… how do you serve gravy?” 

Aric pushed the blankets back and got out of bed, pulling his pants on before padding across the room to her. 

“This may be a surprise Naadia, but I don’t ‘serve’ gravy. Why are you asking?” 

“I’m making breakfast, and part of that breakfast is gravy. Therefore, I want a gravy boat, but I suppose I shall have to serve it like a heathen.” The combination of her serious tone and the ridiculousness of her statement made him laugh. 

“I can’t help it if I raised to do things properly,” she snapped but he could see in her face she wasn’t actually upset. Her smile was a dead giveaway. 

With a final chuckle, Aric set his hand on the top of her head, dragging his claws lightly across her scalp. She hummed happily at the feeling and he looked down at her with a faint smile. 

“You made me breakfast?” 

She nodded, leaning her head farther into his hand, “I did, and it’s ready if you are hungry.” 

Aric stared at her for a long moment, considering her carefully. He had truly expected her to be gone by now, not making him breakfast, dressed in one of his shirts and practically melting at the touch of his hand. That she had done all those things was throwing him for a loop. 

But that didn’t mean he wasn’t appreciative of her efforts or the glimpse into what could maybe, someday, be. Maybe it could be with her, maybe it wouldn’t, but for one morning it was far too tempting to pass up. 

“So,” Naadia said, poking him in the stomach, “are you hungry?” 

“Starving,” he answered. 

A week later he found a package on his bunk, one none of the crew saw delivered. There was no return address, just the words "for next time" written across the top. He already suspected it was from Naadia, but after he opened it he had no doubts. Who else would send him the fanciest gravy boat he had ever seen?

"#DeadBoyDetectives is a very special show and the cast and crew deserve better.

Not sure if this will help or not, but here is a Gameo I never shared, just 4 minutes of food talk and his roast chicken recipe 🥲

#SaveDeadBoyDetectives"

I've heard that you like to cook and I was wondering what you like to cook specifically.

Would you be willing to share your roast chicken recipe?

George Rexstrew's Roast Chicken

Put the chicken in a pyrex dish.

Make a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, mixed herbs, and paprika and lather it all over the chicken.

Put it in the oven at 200 for 1 hour 40 minutes. Take it out every half hour or so to baste.

Includes advice on sides but no recipes. Note: if you are cooking for the Rexstrews, you must include a lot of gravy.

With the three "simultaneous" rounds that occur during S4 E3, the order of said rounds is pretty much not there, except for the knowledge of the final round, being Kai's.

And that is purely because of the bleachers.

The other two fights (Neuro v. Bolobo & Gravis v. Griffin Turner) don't provide complete views of the bleachers, not giving enough information about who is there and not.

The only subjects of interest seen in those fights are Kai (in the bleachers of Neuro & Bolobo's fight behind Lloyd and Garmadon) and Ash (right on the edge of part of the bleacher we are able to see during Gravis & Turner's fight)

However, Kai and Ash's fight actually gets us a full shot of the crowd, albeit not clear due to the blur from the camera moving rapidly from the bleacher with Chen's goons to the ninja and Skylor on the competitor's bleacher.

(Also, just to note, that arm at the right side of the photo is Skylor's)

In this photo, we see both Neuro and Turner, but no Bolobo or Gravis, implying they've won their rounds already

So, we still don't know when the other two fights occur (which leaves that kinda up to interpretation, but at least we know the last one.

Which does make sense that it's Kai's seeing as how that one's technically the most climactic.

(Now, if we wanted to guess based on the order the show showed us the endings of each battle, the possible order of the rounds would be Neuro v Bolobo, Gravis v Turner, and then of course finally Kai v Ash.

However, they could also be guessed based on when we were shown each battle starting, which would swap the first two battles around so that the order would be Gravis v Turner, Nuero v Bolobo, and then again Kai v Ash

So yeah. Those first two rounds' order kinda seem to just be up to interpretation.)

Guess who made a gravy boat :D

Stoneware (I think a combo of ironstone and misc pugged?) And glazed with nuka and a bright blue walkers glaze

[mysteriouslybluepirate]

Hey guys, as a fandom when we revive izzy can we wait a few weeks before we do the 'comes back wrong' trope? Just so we have some time to heal? I'm just asking the collective. I know izzy coming back with fucked up memories is an amazing concept but we're all VERY fragile right now, and I personally don't know if I can take it.

Words have been had, tears have been shed and unfortunately today is where I have to announce that Derrick is no longer my boyfriend.

He's my fiancé.

Between Hozier’s album, Yung Gravy’s album, and Jimmy Buffett’s passing (rest in paradise), I have felt every human emotion in the span of two (2) weeks

Renfield’s got weird girl energy. To me. If you even care.

Gravy boat that can be heated with a tea light.

rudyard/chapman was such a shock to me when i got online about this show btw. like yeah sure they have the prevalent dynamic in the series and I guess they did go over a cliff together that one time but their vibe has always been so solidly "two kids waging razor scooter battles on the playground during recess" to me that i couldn't see it any other way
