So I have a thousand son, best thing that has happened to me, but my neighbor has a small pack of space wolves and I’m worried they will eventually fight. Is there any preventative action I can take?
Ooh this one is tricky. I would recommend collaborating with your neighbor on routines and schedules. Take care that your marines spend as little time as possible around each other! Thousand Sons do NOT get along with Space Wolves, and I have rarely seen a meeting that didn't eventually turn violent.
There ARE loopholes though! Space Wolves have an adorably brief short term memory, and very little object permanence. In a span of about three to seven days, those lovely Wolves likely won't remember ever encountering your Thousand Son, and are thus returned to square one!
The opposite is true for the Thousand Son, however. They have a frightening memory, and the trick to avoiding outbursts is--as much as it pains me to say--propaganda. Enforce in your Thousand Son that Space Wolves are beneath them (they aren't!!!) and that by interacting with them at all, even in thought, the Thousand Son are put at risk for corruption and mange.
Combined with coordinated, controlled distance, things should be kept civil. Hope this helps!

@nightbug08 That's true! I own a Blood Angels Successor Chaptermaster (adopted alongside a Second Captain) and a lovely Lamenter I rescued from a Space Hulk! They're among the most difficult to take care of, but once you earn their trust, you'll never find a more loyal space marine.
They're incredibly low maintenance. Soft spoken, emotional, honest, disciplined, clean, organized and startlingly resourceful, these Marines seem like the perfect match for anyone looking for a first time Astartes, but heads up! Your life will irrevocably change. Don't be discouraged by what I'm about to tell you, but I'm an educator first and I wouldn't put you or your Lamenter in a bad situation.
You will have to change everything. Or, there's a very real risk of injury, maybe even death.
There's something in their pedigree that makes them...different. Other Astartes are mistrustful at best, outright hostile at worst. You can't take a Lamenter to the sparring yard, and training cages should be booked beforehand. Lamenters are quite tame, but do keep in mind that they are subject to the same Prion disease as their parent chapter! It's best to keep them calm and happy as often as you can--a Herculean effort sometimes given their abnormally high melancholy!
Of course, I'll admit that their cousins have a good reason, and this is where the death part comes in. Misfortune sticks to them like flour to a wet cat, and this bleeds over to those around them. I make light of this, but had to move to the city after I crashed my car, lost my job and nearly got hit with a falling piano all in the same day! Even now, I take very few risks, though the occasional banana peel appears behind me at the bus stop.
I'm fortunate to have the resources for frequent visits to the Apothecary. My poor baby was was mauled by an unsupervised Minotaur just yesterday--no one got hurt too badly, but I've been reading him John Steinbeck books while he recovers!
I can't tell you how worth it he has been. I've never owned a marine that was so loving and loyal, and he certainly does his part to protect me from the strange bouts of woe that plague me like magpies to my box of french fries!
I'm actually working on getting him registered as a service Marine--for both our benefit. If you feel up to the challenge, your Lamenter will be a marine for life!
Alright I might need some help with this one. I found the scraggliest looking astartes hiding in my shed just now (we've been having a lot of snow so I'm not surprised). I got them in the garage at least and started checking for chaos icons, but I'm not sure I recognize the poor little guy coloring? He's mostly yellow with black and white checkerboards on the pauldrons?
Gotta try and get the lil guy cleaned up and fed, he seems young or underweight or something.

Story idea where Anya develops a new power: hallucinations
(Vaguely based on breaking dawn pt 2 and Ashe)
Eden kids go to a veteran place thingy where they're honoring the brave men and women who served in the wars bla bla bla
Twilight normally follows Anya on these but decided to sit this one out because he just didn't want to hear a bunch of pro war anti westalian propaganda (he's been having a hard time)
At the event they meant this vet who used to fly bomb planes. He tells his proudest story where he came up with a plan to bomb a specific area in Westalis to stop the rest of the country from getting aid from neighboring cities
This town happened to be Luwen and the year was 1943.
Ie this was the man who killed Twilight's parents, and here he was gloating to his daughter about it
Damian notices that Anya is acting strange and tries to get him to stop before accidentally telling him that Anya was westalian (a hc ik)
In his head the mam reacts in disgust and says a lot of anti westalian shit but out loud he gives her some bs peace crap
Suddenly he blinks and he's in a random town, Luwen. He checks his watch and sees the date and time. He knows what's about to happen.
He starts rushing everyone into the bomb shelters they think he's crazy but then the bomb start dropping and bla bla bla
After he's walking around trying help clean up the mess and anyone who finds a young boy trying to pull a woman out from the rubble
He goes to help only to realise that the build had crushed her head and he just pulled a decapitated woman out in front of a child who was actually her son.
The child doesn't react and keeps trying to save her and begs him for help but the man could only look in horror
Then he looks up and there is Anya standing creepily talking to him. Her voice is all echoy and creepy and she's saying weird stuff and it's freaking him out
He blinks again, and he's back in the museum with 5 kids staring at him. He starts going on the weird tangent and calling Anya a demon and bashing westalians and going crazy
Damian defends he and the guy calls him a traitor. Then Damian starts talking in the weird disembodied voice, and the things he was saying didn't make sense for him to say
He freaks out and then runs off. He runs and runs and runs all the way to Berlint General. He dragged to the Psych ward and they call the on call doctor... Dr Forger.
He immediately recognizes him and then falls to his knees and starts apologizing and admitting to all the shitty things he did during the way and flat out saying he killed Loid's parents
The tranquilize him and chalk it up to ptsd. A nurse asks Loid if he's OK believing the man's story. He reassures her that it had no effect on him at all. He didn't even live in that area lol
Then he goes home, pretending to be ok. Yor's out late so it's just him and Anya. It was awkward night but he got her to bed and was ready to go into his. Bond but was being oddly clingy but it was probably nothing.
Yor finally returns home and is going on about how bad she felt for missing bedtime and dinner and then out of nowhere twilight just falls to ground and just starts balling his eyes out.
He is having a full blown panic attack just fucking going through it. He can't breathe he's choking he's sweating, like in 5 seconds, he goes from chill to a complete disaster
Poor Yor hasn't even gotten a chance to take her coat off and is now trying to figure out how to console him or why he's even freaking out like this. This man doesn't even cry when chopping onions. Let alone just start hyperventilating on the floor
Eventually he calms down by laying on her lap with Bond on top of him giving him a shit ton of pressure
Yor decides to soothe him with a nice lullaby... I think you can guess what happened once he recognized the song
In the end, she had to wack him unconscious and ask the Shopkeeper for horse tranquilizer to keep him calm until she could figure out what the hell is wrong with him

Can't believe this show just said that yeah these broken children that have finally managed to claw some semblance of family out of the train wreck their psychotic father made of them, these children now adults, don't get peace, they don't deserve it. actually the world is so much better without them in it. They are the direct reason why so many people they have met are not living happier lives and the universe would be a much happier safer place with them gone. They were pawns in their father's game and now they are victims of their "mother's" scheme. And this is all they get, there was never any happy ending for them in the cards the universe rebukes their very existence and it is constantly trying to write them out of it.
They doomed the world from the start, the blame is all at their feet and they must pay for the crime of being born "special".
The fucking implications of that my god!
That's the message you ended your show on. That is what you are leaving us with. Why?

I was thinking about Damien being very oblivion npc-pilled when he first got out of Farm, because of the soup comic... do you have any baby Damien headcanons? 🥹✨
Im sorry, this lowkey turned out to be early chargestep headcanon because i'm very normal about their pre-hb dynamic 😫 Incoherent rambling under the cut
Damien initially wore an all black attire with protective sports gear and covered his face with a balaclava and a hockey mask with a bat for his weapon. In his "debut", he wanted to stop a man from mugging a civilian walking through a back alley. He didn't want to draw too much attention so he silently creeped behind while the robber accosts the victim. Unfortunately, the victim saw him and screamed in terror, prompting the man to look behind and got scared-shitless, too. They both ended up running away for their lives. Meanwhile, Damien was like, "🧍‍♂️I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to end, but problem solved, I guess...? 🧍‍♂️."
After that, he read more about current heroes and decided to wear Rangers merch with his gear and noticed that people now reacted more positively towards him.
Now, when the Marshal caught wind of a too-competent, mysterious back-alley vigilante, he wanted to reach out and establish connections... only to find out that the vigilante is -- he assumed, based on the outfit Damien wore that day -- a Charge stan.
In the first few attempts of reaching out, Damien was initially skittish as heck (especially with Ricardo's static), but he eventually relented for a talk.
Ricardo thought Damien was too starstruck to hold a conversation so he laid out his Charm™️ to get him to talk and hoped to glean some useful info, but it just completely bounced off him. It was then when Ricardo surmised that maaaybe Damien wasn't a fan, but that got him more curious about his character. Still, he found it refreshing to find someone unaffected by his presence, so he continued the laid back, vaguely flirty banter because it's fun and he wanted to see if he could elicit a reaction from the mystery vigilante. Damien didn't mind as he enjoyed having someone to talk to and practice actual conversations with. He even ended up matching Ricardo's snark (minus the flirting part, because he didn't understand that... yet).
After teaming up a few times, Ricardo asks about Damien's alias
Ricardo: So, what do you even call yourself? Unless you want "Vigilante Wearing Rangers Merch" to stick, which isn't really good for PR. Damien: Shit. I never thought about needing a name. Gotta think fast *looks around*
Tumblr media
Damien: Uhh... Streetwatch? Ricardo: Nice try, but you just got that from signages behind me, didn't you? *laughs and pats Damien's shoulder* Don't worry we'll workshop it.
They eventually settled with Sidestep because it matched his fighting style and also served as an inside joke from that conversation.
This video is very early Damien-coded to me, too. (Also happening in Ric's kitchen).
He "matured" a lot within the year that he got introduced to Themmy and rest of the Rangers because there were actual minds to read and imitate learn from, but the wit he observed from Ricardo made a big impression on his own personality. The feelings and yearning came at him (like a truck) in the time between fighting Psychopathor and allying with the Rangers but that requires a separate rambling, so I digress. After mastering the art of sarcasm, he was able to mask a lot his genuine oblivious moments as jokes and easily deflect questions he doesn't want to answer.
OH, he also does the head tilt thing whenever he encounters something new/he doesn't fully understand! That's his major tell. I'm a big fan of that mannerism 💯😭

where are the fics where adam IS an apprentice but only kind of. he loathes john but has convinced himself that lawrence is safer when he's around. lawrence tries to tell him that he's more of a behind the scenes gear in this clock of bullshit but it doesn't work. the only way john can get adam to do something for him is through lawrence, and adam knows this, he just. doesn't care. lawrence asked, he's gonna do it, after that it's out of his hands. they're so reliant on each other being okay than if one isn't things get messy. just like last time

I don't think agility class is a good option for dogs struggling heavily with reactivity - particularly if they are constantly lunging at other dogs.
That is not to say that I think dogs struggling with that level of reactivity are bad dogs. Nor do I think they should be sequestered away in their homes and never allowed to be out in the world.
Heck I'm not even of the opinion that they shouldn't learn agility. Just that private lessons would benefit the dog more than a class setting while they are working through reactivity.
Because the thing is, agility is super stimulating for most dogs, whether participating or watching. Even more so if it's an intro class where the team is learning to navigate the equipment and handling. Additionally keeping the dog from going after others is stressful for everyone involved. And I just don't see it as a kind or fair setting to be introducing something as complex, and let's be honest - potentially dangerous - as agility.
I also don't think there's any shame in realizing that an agility class may be too much for where the dog currently is in working through reactivity and taking a step back. Dog training in all its flavors isn't always linear. But I do think it's important, for the people both handler and instructor, to ensure the dog is being set up for success even if it doesn't look the way we'd hoped it would.
Much love and compassion for folks working through reactivity with their dogs. Your dog is not a bad dog. You are not a bad handler. Y'all are working through something difficult and I wish you kindness and patience in your journey.

i miss posting and making and engaging with ieytd content but I will be honest sometimes it feels alienating. as a lesbian.
#bee's buzzing#ieytd#i dont know.. its probably just me being Strange. but.#the Main guy in the fandom is juniper. and he's interesting! but. i don't... think about him as often#and when i do it's never in the shipping / x reader context i see so frequently in the tags.#i dont ship him with agent phoenix because. my agent is an it/its dyke. so i dont really engage in that side of fandom#i also dont think about the handler as often because. idk i just think about the women more!#but juniper and agent phoenix and the handler are like. the only people i see talked about often#which is fine!! people like them. i also like them just. not in the same way/to the same extent.#im here for the women. but. they're not talked about often at all :[#when they are it's usually briefly in passing.#they get the worst of the mischaracterization too imo. because people just do not give them the same depth as they like to give-#- charas like john. it makes me kinda sad tbh.#and also the fandom does not. seem to make much space for f/f content.#i know like. the handful of other people who make f/f content for ieytd.#and. god. idk im still honestly a bit ticked off by one solaris post that 1) was not a good analysis i will be quite honest.#it was very surface level. like really basic info and also iirc not entirely accurate? i cannot remember anymore#but. 2). it started by saying 'nobody talks about solaris outside of fabbylaris' and that still makes my blood boil.#like. not to vaguepost but. the fabbylaris posters ARE talking about solaris outside of a shipping context. please. please#also there was a whole Thing a while back where people started being strange about non-feminine nonbinary agent phoenix.#and as a nonbinary butch-adjacent dyke. it made my skin crawl!!! im NOT feminine and idk why making agent phoenix not feminine is.#apparently Bad to a certain subset of the fandom#sorry but im a dyke and i WILL make the player insert protag a butch lesbian who doesnt use she/her.#and if you have a problem with that please think about Why people making the player insert nonbinary and androgynous/Vaguely Masc is-#- such a problem to you. and whether that is alienating to the trans people in the fandom.#okay. im normal now. goodnight.

Long rollercoaster of emotions post below.
I think this is it for AKC obedience at this trial.
NQ in utility, first exercise was directed jumping.
She actually got a straight go out for the first send. Which was a win. I was so excited Then anticipated the jump when the judge said 'bar' almost took off. I paused to prove she didn't break her sit, rose my hand up and told her jump...and she took the wrong jump.
I felt so crushed. We get the go out for her to still just fail the exercise. Because of how crushed I felt I reacted poorly, told her no and set her back up again for the second one.
Because I told her no, I undid the success of the go out. She doubted herself and ended up not doing her second go out. She ran to the jump, she just went over. So I opted for the FnG.
She got the go out and the correct jump this time. So I left the ring, frustrated and sad. Aayla could tell.
Ended up in the practice ring to just play and do some very positive go outs and jumps, giving her easy sends and very clear cues. Brought her happiness up, but the damage is done.
I think I feel too stressed and unhappy about utility. I'm letting it affect me in the ring and how I interact with Aayla. Which isn't fair for her, she is doing her best.
I think I need to recognize we are out of time and it's time for her to retire from obedience in AKC and then from ASCA after finals. She hasn't Qed in AKC utility in a long time.
Why can't I just be unconcerned and just enjoy the game? Why can't I sit here and let the errors go? I keep feeling like I'm failing, that if Aayla just had a better trainer she could get this. That she could enjoy this even more. She loves working and once she is dialed in she is good. She is so solid for Open now. She has a 90% Q rate for open. I'm just not good enough to help her get there for utility.
She seems more sound and is moving better this trial. I think the adequan has helped and she seems more happy for obedience in general even if she is struggling with directed jumping. Which was one of the things I wanted to test at this trial, her desire and physical ability to keep competing. Which does seem like it's a green light on that front.
Maybe she could compete for another year but I need to seriously sit down and ask myself if I can handle another year. Now I'm the one with issues. Even as I'm writing this I've had time to cry and walk around and hug Aayla.
Aayla did get a solid go out the first time. She got excited to jump and took the wrong one. Not a big deal. She was EXCITED to jump. I shouldn't be upset about that. She wants to do it. If I had let the wrong jump go she probably would have gotten her second go out and probably had a nice run otherwise. For her the jump issue is an easy fix, she rarely gets that wrong and it's typically because I don't practice the directed jumping portion of the exercise. If I practice she won't mess that up.
Overall it's nothing big. Yet my reaction was big. That's a problem. A big problem. If I was to trial Aayla for another year I need to stop that. Take what happens with a grain of salt. But no more Q goals, just having fun with my favorite girl, my heart dog and enjoying our bind together.
Honestly I need that opinion for Aayla, Ryker and any future dog I have. I want my dogs to be accomplished but getting upset isn't going to get them there. Taking this silly game too seriously isn't going to get them there.
We have one more day and we are just going to go out to have a good time tomorrow and nothing else. I'll keep telling myself she can do no wrong and act accordingly. If it's her last time in the AKC obedience ring, so be it. We will make it a happy one
I have a lot to think through and a lot of self reflection to go over. I'll probably post a lot about it, so feel free to ignore.

hey! i know this is a controversial topic within the community so i apologise but i'd really love some advice; i own two sons of horus and my partner owns a black legion astartes (a terminator specifically) - can you recommend safe ways to introduce them to each other? everywhere i look there seems to be quite a bias against owning chaos legions, the poor things are demonised to the high throne and everyone acts like the terminator will 'corrupt' the sons :/
Ooh another great question with a fascinating answer!
We all know that I believe that there are no bad marines! I hope this helps to shed some positive light on the Black Legion; someone could be missing out on their forever-marine just because of a bad reputation!
Now, since you and your partner have two Legions with pack inclinations and a strong sense of pecking order, the trick is respect! Start with introductions, (names, rank, the whole kit and kaboodle) in a safe place where they all feel like equals! The last thing you want is for your Black Legionnaire to feel outnumbered and nervous, so pick neutral territory. As their handlers, I recommend that you and your partner interact like allies. Stay close to your Marines: the Sons of Horus will look to you for emotional advice! If you are comfortable, eventually they will be. As for your Legionnaire, keep a close watch on him. See if he's a Leader-type Astartes, or a Follower-type. Sons of Horus tend to be Followers, and your Legionary may want to be the Alpha! Put a pin in that for a moment!
On the first session, I wouldn't expect too many results. Both will be wary, but if tension breaks out, stop the introduction immediately and wait. Try again later in a different space and see what happens. A two-versus-one introduction MAY seem counterintuitive, but trust me when I say you want your Legionnaire to know exactly what he's getting into--the poor darlings are expecting betrayal around every corner.
If, after a few sessions, they begin to develop that signature Astartes synergy we all love so much, feel free to let them spar or exercise together! The dynamic will emerge naturally over a period of a few weeks to a few months, and--remember that pin I mentioned?--your Legionnaire will likely integrate into the pack as a Follower-type (submitting to the strongest combatant) or, sometimes as a Leader-type (where your Sons of Horus are subordinate!) Either of these results is your goal, and if your Astartes dig their heels in and simply won't get along, I would consider another relationship. Astartes are a big responsibility! As unfortunate as it is, there are other fish in the sea, and your space marine needs you!

I'm in the middle of playing The Northern Passage, and I've noticed that throughout it there are various options to *attempt* to leave Lea. I've never clicked any of them, so I don't know what actually happens if you try... but I'm confused by the sheer quantity of such options that come up, since I was under the impression it's not legal to leave Lea. Especially the ones after meeting Duncan. They give the impression I'm trying to be *friends* with Lea by staying with them, even though I'm pretty sure I legally have to stay with them whether I want to be friends with them or not. Is my impression incorrect?
no, it's not "illegal"!
technically, Duncan (or anyone else for that matter) doesn't really have the power to "arrest" the hunter or anyone in the Order. The Order is self-regulating, and exists as its own political entity. this is why the hunter and Lea are supposed to be politically neutral, and why the Black Iron's interference during the Siege of Blackwater was such a big deal.
however, none of that will necessarily stop people like Duncan. and there are definitely instances where hunters and handlers have been jailed before and had to wait for someone else (like Commander Hadrien) to come bail them out. they can't really arrest them, but they'll put them in a cell to waste their time, and it's best for everyone just to comply to avoid any kind of escalation. if we use Keld as an example, a lot of the people in that town felt that Lea and the hunter had just killed a man, and if they hadn't booked it out of there, there was a high likelihood that they would have been thrown in a cell, and then Commander Hadrien would have had to come out and either argue a really good case or grease some palms, and it would have been a real bureaucratic nightmare. they would have had to let them go eventually, but they'd put them through as much bullshit as possible before then.
there's also a big difference between the Order in the south and the Order up north, which we will learn in the next update; that difference also makes Duncan more comfortable with treating Lea & the hunter however he likes.
when it comes to hunters & handlers, the handlers are actually there moreso for the protection of the hunter. people don't like hunters, and seeing one all alone will freak people out, but it's not illegal or anything for hunters to be out and about without their handlers. it's just better for everyone involved for there to be someone as a "buffer" that keeps the public comfortable and the hunter safe. handlers also tend to be the "leads" during jobs, so Lea will be the one that will engage with the common folk and ask questions, and function as a point of contact between the Order/stronghold and whoever is requesting the Order's services.

Flower Boy 21- Good Work
Here's the next chapter! It's been a while, but I'm glad to be writing a bit more. This is the aftermath of Jeremy's last session from the past few chapters. Chapter 20. Masterlist.
CW: Aftermath of torture, nudity, blood, exhaustion, aftermath of noncon elements, electrocution, bruises, prisoner whumpee, brainwashing.
- - -
Prisoner 326 was deposited less than gracefully onto the floor of his cell by Handler Barrett. The man retrieved a clean pair of shorts and a tshirt from the supply closet and set them on the prisoner’s cot. 326 had earned them. 
“Come on now, we need to get you cleaned up. To the shower, 326.” 
326 let out a breath as he pulled himself up onto his arms. He was fully ready to collapse into the floor and pass out into delightful unconsciousness, but this wasn’t over yet. He scanned over his naked body- eyeing the filth and sweat and blood that scattered across him. 
He knew he couldn’t walk- his handler had basically dragged him here, his legs shaking too much to hold up his weight. His vision was blurry as well, his eyes darting in and out of focus. 
So 326 resorted to crawling across the floor, dragging himself as gracefully as he could, wincing with every movement, collapsing a few times until he finally felt the cold tile, the metal drain underneath him of the shower. 
He let himself collapse again, staring at his blurred reflection in the shower drain. 
Handler Barrett turned on the shower, letting it crash over the man’s body below and stepped away for a few moments so the water could rinse off the filth on the surface. 
When the Handler returned he had his sleeves rolled up to the elbow, and a rag in one hand, and a plain bar of soap in the other. 
Jeremy’s eyes scanned across the bar of soap, then up to his handler’s face. 
“It’s not protocol, I know, but you’ve earned it.” 
326 let out a sigh as the handler wet the rag and began to lather up the sponge. 
“Th-thank you s-s-sir-” Jeremy tried to make the words as clear as possible, but there was a subtle shake to his jaw, a tremor that he couldn’t deny. 
“Here-” he held the items out to 326, and he took them in shaking fingers. 
Jeremy began to lather up his chest, feeling the cold of the soap against his hand, when it slipped out of his fingers and slid to the drain below. The prisoner cursed under his breath and reached for it again but he couldn’t stop shaking long enough to get a good grip on it. 
“Stop- just-” Handler Barrett scooped up the soap and gripped the top of 326’s arm. “Sit up, come on.” He helped the prisoner sit, his back facing the man and began lathering up the soap across his back and shoulders. 326 winced as it passed across the bruises and welts from an earlier beating, and bit back a groan as the Handler began to scrub some blood out from the deeper welts. 
“Hold out your arm.” He ordered. 
Jeremy did as he was told, and let the man scrub him, the rag passing over the crook of his arm where the ropes had rubbed his skin completely raw. Handler Barrett finished the other arm and then tilted his chin up with the back of his hand, turning the rag to his face. 
Dried blood had crusted around his mouth and Barrett was as quick and efficient as needed in scrubbing it off. 
326 breathed out a sigh as his face was washed, it almost- it almost felt nice as the man swiped the rag across his cheek, moving it around to his chin. 
The feeling left as soon as it came as the rag fell with a plop onto the wet tile. Handler Barrett turned the prisoner around, his back pressed against the farthest wall, and began to wash his legs. 
Jeremy hung his head forward as he was washed, the water hitting across the back of his neck, his hair falling limply around his face. 
He glanced up briefly as the Handler paused, and realized where the man was looking. 326 scanned in between his legs, seeing the blood caked between his thighs, other fluids that had made their way onto him… Their eyes met and Barrett glanced away quickly. 
“Clean yourself off and then rinse fully. Give me the soap once your done.”
Barrett plopped the soap and the rag into 326’s lap and then stood up, sliding the shower curtain over and stepping back into the small cell. 
“Yes- yes sir.” 326 mumbled, his mouth heavy and slow. 
Jeremy felt between his legs with his hand, wincing as the sore skin flared up. He choked back a sob as he cleaned himself off best he could with the water, before reaching for the soap. It slipped out of his hands again and he knew he couldn’t hold onto it long enough to thoroughly wash himself of all the filth. So he resorted to lathering up his hands as best he could, feeling the bubbles between his fingers, and with a shaky hand began to clean himself from all the blood and filth. He soon needed to grab the rag, but even being as gentle as he could he had to bite back a cry as he attempted to scrub himself off. 
When he was finished he collapsed back against the wall, letting the water run down his chest. He ran his fingers through his hair and then brought his hands in front of his face. 
He was shaking- the tremble in his hands was unmistakable, but from what, he couldn’t tell. The dehydration? Lack of food? Or all the shocks from the gag- the electricity… 
Shit, what if this was permanent? 
His body wracked with shivers as a rush of cold water splashed over his face. The shower was enough to pull him out of his thoughts and remember his Handler was standing just a few feet away. He couldn’t take too much time. 
He placed a palm against the cold wall, trying desperately to rise to his feet. He managed to get a knee underneath him, his other foot placed firmly on the ground. 326 tried to stand but all the lather and suds from the soap made the tile to slick, and he crashed right back down with a thud at any attempt to stand. 
Jeremy heard Handler Barrett curse under his breath and within a few moments the shower curtain was pulled away and 326 saw the man standing there, arms folded across his chest. The man shook his head and gripped the prisoner at the top of his arm, dragging him up to his feet. He helped him step out of the shower and then deposited him onto the bed, where 326 sat, head hung low on his chest. 
A cup of water was placed in his hands and he trembled as he raised it to his lips. He took a small sip, and winced as he swallowed, his throat raw from screaming. Eventually the water began to soothe the aches and he pulled the empty cup away, the remains of his last sip trickling down his chin. 
Handler Barrett took the cup away and 326 was left staring at his trembling hands. 
“326-” 
They were shaking so much… there were bruises across his wrists, his skin dotted with scars…
“326 look at me.” Barrett ordered. 
The prisoner brought his eyes up- his face contorted in a look of- of fear, the Handler realized. 
Handler Barrett paused for a moment, taking in the prisoner’s face. This prisoner, who was just a boy when he was first taken. Who was so defiant, so angry at the world, who now looked up at his Handler with the most fear he’d ever seen written on his face. 
It had been nearly six years, that boy was a full man now. But in this moment, staring up at his handler with shaking hands, why did he look so young?
“326, what are your rules?” Handler Barrett ordered. 
326 blinked, his programming taking over as his brain repeated what had been beaten into him. 
“I do- do not have a, a name-” he paused, trying to push past the tremor in his jaw. “My numb-b-ber is 3-326.” He swallowed, his mouth dry, and took a breath. “I will only speak when- when spoken too- I will not ask f-f-for anything- my- my body is- is not m-m-my own.” He breathed out the last few words as the effort of speaking them became too much to handle. But Handler Barrett nodded, he was correct. 326 closed his eyes tight as his brain washed over with pain- it was so fuzzy- like a piece of paper, crumpled tight into a ball, unable to read the writing on it. 
“Good. Do not forget them, understand?” Handler Barrett asked. 
326 was back to staring at his hands, it took a moment after Barrett spoke for it to register, and 326 glanced up at him. 
“Y-yes sir.” 
“326, I need you to understand. You must never forget your rules. Now, they are planning on doing a 24 hour session. 24 full hours each, of sensory deprivation, and the overstimulation.” 
Prisoner 326 flinched back against his cot as the words registered, his eyes shooting up to his handler. 326’s palms gripped the top of his thighs, digging into his skin as he tried to grasp some sense of control. 
“Listen to me. I am under the impression that a full 48 hours won’t elicit any other effect than it has already had.” Handler Barrett clarified as 326 furrowed his brow in confusion. “It’s unnecessary. At least from my perspective. It is your job to make them agree. What do you suppose that entails 326?” 
“Re-rememb-ber my rules, sir.”
Handler Barrett nodded. “And what else, 326?” 
Jeremy closed his eyes, hearing the words that echoed through the speakers, over and over again, engraving them into his brain. Obedience equals safety.
“Obey.” He said.
“Correct. Under absolutely no circumstances are you to lash out, disobey, or even hesitate with a command.” 
“Y-yes s-sir. Yes sir.” 
“Good.” Handler Barrett turned away from the prisoner, moving to grab the clothes he had set on the cot earlier. “You did well today 326.”
326 was about to utter a feeble thank you, when the door to his cell burst open, and three unfamiliar figures stepped into the room.

I really want to ramble about the handler and soyona- because by god the more i think about it the more interesting their dynamic become and the more i wish the show would explore it (likely wont, soyona and brooklynn's dynamic seems to their focus 😭 at most i think they will mention their difference in how they view and treat the raptors)
The handler and soyona have so much potential to be so fucking interesting, like not even just in a shipping way but also as fucking character foils to eachother
Let me put it simply:
Soyona is the sun, the handler is the moon.
Soyona is warm colours, gold and bright white. the handler is cold colours, silver and pitch black.
Soyona is the chatty extrovert, the handler is the quiet introvert.
Soyona is the leader, the handler is the follower.
Btw lets not even go into the whole artist soyona and model the handler thing that has been bouncing around in my head- i wrote a post for that and yall will never see it because it was just insane rambling 💀 also lets not go into how they would absolutely have such a fucking instense dom/sub dynamic if they got together-
