#not much but something forward

[kvnghs-archive]

i think at this point in liam's life and career it's safe to say he's taken the 'family business' and grown it further than his father's untrustworthy ass ever could. he stays true to his word and doesn't stab people in the back (usually) the way graham was known to do far too often. so i'm getting to the point that liam's rebranded as head of the kavanagh business more or less.

he has so many other people (in my head at least lmfao) working underneath him doing various jobs at any given time that it just makes sense. he's still the guy you come to if you want something done quick and correctly, he's just not always gonna be the one taking the job. BUT he's like the pawn stars guy of the crime world, he knows a guy.

still the same premise, but he's grown it into a legit business again after his father tore it down. i'll set up a little guide of different people who work for him, literally all his extended family because he doesn't trust many other people. still need some outside connections for him if anyone's interested ;)

Sorry if some of these overlap a little/if I left out something obvious kajbdsjkd I tried my best haha. And that's why there's an "other" option!

Just over here thinking about just how much trust is implied in the way Eddie let loose at the bachelor party. And I know this isn't news, that Eddie trusts Buck implicitly, but there's just something so beautiful in the idea that Eddie Diaz—master of control and compartmentalization and putting everyone else first—was not only willing, but eager to let loose with Buck. Even after the safety of the rest of their group was gone, even after Buck had invited dozens of strangers into their space, Eddie didn't hesitate for a moment to let go with Buck because of course Buck is safe and of course he can trust Buck to let go right beside him without judgment.

And there's just something really beautiful in that.

Leo getting hit with a truth curse but instead of forcing him to admit to super sad or worrying things it’s things like “it was me who broke the remote” “I saw Mikey prank Donnie and helped hide it because it’s way funnier if he didn’t know who it was” “I rip my clothes to look more like Raph’s because he’s really cool” “my stripes aren’t even red they’re pink!”

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

i feel like there is something very sinister going on with the hunting dogs.

the vice commander is twelve years old; she has been a soldier since a few months after she was born. why wouldn’t they get her out of the military so she could be a child? why was she put in a position of power instead of freed from her traumatic life?

tachihara is a teenager. we don’t know how long he’s been on the team but it’s likely been a decent while, meaning he was also quite young when he joined. why wouldn’t they try to rehabilitate him for his crimes before putting him into this job?

jouno was an crime ring executive; and we know that high up mafioso are punished with the death penalty. i speculate he was given the choice to be executed or to give his life to the hunting dogs.

and with this all in mind, they’re bound with their lives? they can’t leave unless they’re willing to rot to death due to their surgeries. it’s incredibly warped that the government would do this to these people, especially considering one of them is a child.

it just feels off to me

The only comparison I'll make with the main characters of Genshin and Star Rail, as someone who has been playing them both, is this: Rizz.

The traveler pulling people from every nation they arrive makes sense. Their all proper, polite, cute, and a national hero. Of course they've got admirers. Sometimes they can be rude or harsh but its within reason.

But the MC from Star Rail? Nothing short of a feral goblin. They've come to space after escaping containment with the literal cancer of worlds placed in them and armed with nothing but a bat. Enamored with trashcans and carries trashbags with them everywhere like a trash racoon. Hides in a closet to scare hotel staff. Their needlessly dramatic with the potential to be rude and unserious in any situation. They are weird. Literally expected to pull NOBODY. Has NEGATIVE rizz.

But its also hilarious to think of Star Rail MC actually managing to charm somone. Cuz u know damn well they are questioning themselves. Existential crisis imminent.

Her kisses were all-consuming and he felt his heart surrendering to her with every gentle nip, losing himself in the feeling of her. Her soft body pressing tightly against him, her breathy moans, the soft hair at the nape of her neck, her taste.

When Eloise finally pulled away from him, breathing heavily as their foreheads pressed together and their eyes locked, Sebastian was dazed and content and...happy. Merlin, he was so happy. Her cheeks were bright pink, and her lips were swollen and red and smiling up at him. His breath caught in his throat - he didn't think he had ever seen anything so beautiful as Eloise in that moment. Sebastian knew that he was grinning like a fool but he didn't care.

Happiness was bubbling up in his body and he was leaning down to kiss her again because it would never be enough and -

She started coughing.

Eloise abruptly pulled away from him, covering her mouth with her sleeve as she doubled over. A terrible, horrible, familiar wracking cough that Sebastian never thought he would hear again.

When she pulled her sleeve away from her mouth, there were little flecks of blood.

They both looked at each other in horror.

"Eloise..." he started, his voice cracking. The balloon of happiness that had filled him burst and he felt himself crashing back to the grim reality that had been his life for too long. Arms hanging limply at his sides. When his voice came out again, it was a whisper. He could barely choke the words out.

"...what did you do?"

their first kiss😇😇😇

I love you guys. I hope you know that.

Like.

Ok so I posted the new TRT chapter the other day. Obviously. And I had to force myself to do it, to click that final, 'post' button because at that last moment, this big wave of imposter syndrome hit (that had already hit on and off as I'd started working on the chapter again). And it was just this cycle of, 'It's been like 6 months since you posted a chapter or anything other than a couple one-shots and you're out of practice, I bet it's bad, it's probably terrible, I bet everyone's left and no one cares about this thing you love so why do you? What if no one likes it, you're gonna drop this and everyone's gonna god 'wtf is this, pasta? what happened?'' And so I forced myself to post it, took my meds to ensure I slept, and then kinda just bunkered down and slept/hid because I was halfway convinced that all the trauma in the previous six months had just bopped any ability I had to write.

Instead I got this outpouring, of just like, 'WELCOME BACK' and people telling me they're happy that mom is ok (which made me cry but in a good way) and they're sorry Cato passed away (more tears, but comforted tears), but also delightful jokes about the funny lines I put in or screaming over that romantic line or about missing Jane and the dynamics and comments about being eager for the next chapter, and how now I can be one of those AO3 authors with those notes of 'yeah my life blew up so I was delayed, but hey I'm back!' which... yeah. And much like when I first started TRT, I didn't... really expect that at all, and it's made me really emotional.

So if you've dropped into my ask box or the comments or the replies, seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, because the excitement and love and just you all being the best little fam and continuing on this journey of TRT with me - a journey that has now included both Matt and Jane's journey, and a real life journey through a pandemic, a huge move, a passing of two of my pets, my mom's hospitalization and recovery, some heart issues, the cancellation and resurrection of the show, me meeting Charlie Cox and getting him to hold a red thread, my first wood carving event, etc - and I know I say this a lot, but you all really, really help me keep going when things get hard. I'd write TRT for nothing, I would, because I love this story and I intend to see it through, but ya'll just... I love you all tons. I'm hoping to get through the asks and fic comments and replies in the next few days, but I just wanted you guys to know that.
