#quentin can't cook

[cuntyji]

everyone’s talking about nerd gojo (thank you @to00fu for the meal), but what about nerd nanami? and i’m not talking about just any nerd nanami, im talking about letterboxd nerd! nanami — 

who wears a “directed by quentin tarantino” tshirt under his suit because he's a bit embarassed about unironically liking this type of merch, and who actually reads through all the letterboxd published articles from cover to cover.

his profile is so organised and he leaves such beautifully written and critical reviews that people who read it go crazy and spam the review’s comments section with “who is this diva 😭” and “WHO LET BRO COOK 🗣️” (he doesn’t understand the meaning of these phrases, but yuuji told him they’re positive phrases so he lets them be).

he's very selective about who he follows — a few of his irl's do know he's on letterboxd, but when they ask him for his profile he does not bother entertaining them. it's not that he's ashamed of his profile or taste, he just likes to keep his irl's seperate from his online activity. 

letterboxd nerd! nanami is heavily against piracy, and he refuses to opt for the “easy way out” when it comes to watching regional films. (he once took a flight all the way to paris on a weekday just to watch a movie that hadn't started international screening).

not to mention, he has a lot of friends that are directors, producers, script-writers, actors etc…it's not even a flex, he was genuinely the most supportive figure in their lives when they were starting out, and often times he gets free tickets or VIP passes to special movie screenings as a way of thanks.

letterboxd nerd! nanami is always one of the top three or five reviews in most trending movies on letterboxd, but imagine his horror when casual letterboxd user! reader bests his review and pushes him down to seventh place.

the horror.

and it's not even a “good” review, as nanami says —  it's just a rant about how hot the cast is. and for some outrageous reason, everyone seems to be upvoting your poorly written review instead of his meticulously detailed review about the script writing, acting, soundtrack, camera angles…you get what i mean. 

naturally, letterboxd nerd! nanami is pissed. 

and he's even more so when he realizes that casual letterboxd user! reader doesn't even log films on the daily — no, it seems more like you just remember this app exists and then log in whatever you just watched. you didn't even bother putting up a profile picture up until yesterday. and why the hell have you rated most of the disney movies a 5/5? do you not know what an objective rating is? 

letterboxd nerd! nanami, after stalking your watched list, prays you never come online to log your films again. he can't afford to be bested by you again. until he sees a notification that makes him groan out loud in annoyance — 

y/ncore has started following you.

bonus: nerd gojo and letterboxd nerd! nanami are mutuals and close friends on letterboxd (under aliases of course), but both of them hate each other irl — nerd gojo mocks him for spending time on “lame” things like movies, while letterboxd nerd! nanami scoffs at his blatant attitude of “not appreciating cinema.”

Harry Potter and Batman Crossover Headcannon

Imagine a Harry Potter raised by Bruce Wayne, who idolizes his brothers, sisters, and family friends.

First year, Ron and Hermione think he's a pretty normal bloke.

Except for the ability to get detentions at least four times a week.

Flipping from staircase to staircase is not an acceptable hobby, Mr. Potter.

In the beginning, Harry and Hermione clashed A LOT. They were both scarily intelligent but Harry didn't even try, which irritated Hermione to no end.

Harry's desk is littered with card games and boxes of puzzles. Not that it isn't neat- he's a neat freak- there's just a lot of them.

Harry sucks at art but has dozens of paintings spread across his part of the dorm.

Harry is obsessed with History- magic and muggle- doesn't matter.

He's one of the few students that actually pass Binns' class.

That summer, Harry flies Ron and Hermione to America and they meet his family.

Hermione immediately understands why Harry acts like he's fucking insane. His entire family is. From Alfred the butler to Bruce the father to every single one of the revolving siblings.

They binge-watch Quentin Tarantino movies that summer, Duke popping in more often than not.

Harry kept disappearing at night and coming back with bruises.

Once he came back with a broken arm (he got benched afterwards) and tried to tell Hermione it wasn't broken. She almost believed him.

That was the oddest summer of Ron and Hermione's life.

During their second year, they think he's legitimately insane.

Not for the talking-to-snakes thing.

No, he wants to adopt the crazy murder snake and have it live at home with the dogs, cow, and cat.

Harry is delighted to meet Collin Creevey.

He gushes about their cameras.

Hermione thinks it's as cute as it was creepy. Some of the pictures Harry had, she hadn't even known he'd taken. Hell, she barely ever saw the camera.

During the summer, Harry once again flies his friends to America before flying them half-way across the country to visit the circus.

He disappears.

Then shows up as a performer with his brother.

Hermione's in shock that her best friend occasionally moon-lights as a circus performer.

Dick isn't as shocked, saying that all of them have at some point.

Hermione doesn't see silent Cassandra or giant Jason ever swinging across but if Dick says so, it must be true.

Third year, Harry is angry. He brings a knife set to school and when Sirius sneaks into the room, he gets them thrown at him.

Sirius spent far too long stitching up the wound.

Sirius nearly got shot after dragging Ron to the Shrieking Shack.

Harry got lectured for bringing guns onto school grounds. He can't regret it because it was thanks to shooting Pettigrew in the leg, Sirius was free.

Jason got lectured for allowing Harry to bring a gun.

Hermione and Ron learned that Harry was a great cook that summer. Alfred and Bruce left the manor for about a week and Harry cooked most of the meals.

Ron learned how particular Harry was about the kitchen being cleaned.

He also got a crash course in manners from several of the Wayne's.

Fourth year starts normally. Then the tournament was announced and Harry was a contestant.

Hermione knows Harry's been studying like crazy but doesn't realize how much until she walks down to the common room at two am on a Thursday and finds Harry pouring over a book with a cup of coffee in his hand.

He hadn't slept in ninety-six hours and was on his twenty-seventh cup of coffee that day.

Harry doesn't show up to dance practice. Ever.

Parvati's honestly a bit scared to dance with Harry after watching Neville, who has shown up to every practice.

But Harry's a wonderful dancer, better than anyone else. Parvati has a wonderful night, trading on and off with her sister who was not having a wonderful night.

Harry plays the piano for them that summer.

Hermione asks if there's anything he can't do. Harry shrugs.

Fifth year, Hermione learns what Harry's real anger looks like. It's not explosive like she thought it would be.

It's quiet. It makes your skin crawl when brilliant emerald eyes land on you.

When he speaks, it's cold. Clinical. Terrifying.

Hermione hates angering Harry.

Ron's already learned this lesson. Back during fourth year.

During that fight on the Quidditch Pitch, Harry doesn't attack Malfoy. He goes silent and stares at the other teenager for a moment before he cuts into him. Malfoy breaks down crying after fifteen seconds of Harry's verbal assault.

One day, Harry's just had a bad day and just sits next to his friends. Except, he's completely silent and doesn't say a word.

The Slytherins hear Ron's scream in their common room from the Gryffindor tower.

Hermione visits Harry's library for the first time that summer. She's shocked to see all the Jane Austen novels. She knew he was smart but wasn't aware of what he liked to read.

During their sixth year, they discover that Harry's one hell of a liar.

And a good actor, which kind of go hand-in-hand.

They found that Harry developed a smoking habit.

Hermione and Ron did their best to curb it.

That summer, they found out the Wayne family secret.

They were kidnapped and saved by Robin, who looked suspiciously like their best friend.

During their seventh year, while they're on the run, Harry ends up hacking into the security footage of them doing something illegal and deleting it.

Hermione shouldn't be surprised but she is.

Ron's questioning when it will end.

That crime was theft. Particularly, tire theft. Hermione was not amused.

After Ron left, Hermione was unbelievably upset.

Harry had three sisters but each of them were different.

He sighed and demanded for Hermione to sit before sliding behind her and braiding her hair.

Harry often played music while Ron was gone to hide the silence.

Often, it was the Clash.

After being held at Malfoy Manor, Harry stitches them up himself. Bill and Fleur tried to help but backed down when they saw how wild Harry looked.

After Harry died, he ran away and hunkered down in a safe-house.

Jason found him.

"Your friends are worried," Jason said softly, leaning against the door frame.

"I can't be him, anymore."

"Who?"

"Harry Potter. He died."

"Then don't be. Craft yourself a new identity. Harry Wayne, Harry Grayson, Harry Todd, Harry Drake, Harry Brown, Harry Gordon. I'm sure any of the family would let you use their name."

"I can't be Robin, either. I can't be who I used to. And it's like everyone expects me to."

"You don't have to live up to their expectations, Harry. You'll be happier if you just say fuck 'em."

"Bruce won't have a Robin anymore."

"Give him a few years, he'll adopt a new one."

Harry retired as Robin and adopted a new alias as Azrael.

Bea, some more family headcanons from me. 1) Liyue moms give their kids a herbal concoction of their making first thing in the morning. Meanwhile, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine and Natlan moms give their kids floral/herbal/fruit infusion water in the morning. 1a) Weirdly enough, Kazuha adds Electo-charged Naku Weed into his children's water. 1b) Ren deathpans Heizou whenever he sees chucks of Lavender Melon in his water, but he drinks it nonetheless. 1c) Out of all the Sumeru kids, only Isaar is brave enough to drink Harra Fruit infused water. All the others stick to either Sumeru Rose or Zaytun Peach infused water. 1d) For some reason, Quentin prefers Rainbow Rose infusion water while Corinne prefers Lumidouce Bell infusion water. Freminet is relatively upset the twins flat out refuse Romaritime Flower infusion water. 1e) While Neuvillette insists Éveline drink pure water, Mama!Reader sometimes adds Bulle Fruit juice to her water. 2) The Liyue kids occasionally go to BIg Sis Xiangling for cooking lessons. One thing that isn't on the cooking curriculum: slime dishes. Similarly, the Fontaine kids go to Auntie Navia to baking lessons. 3) Being the tea addict that he is, Wriothesley once mixed tea into Marie's milk bottle. Mama!Reader sentenced him to the couch for three weeks afterwards, all the while ranting about Marie being too young for caffeine. 4) As Yip Tak's tea leaves start selling all across Teyvat (thanks, Charlotte), the other regions start creating their own tea-infused dishes.

I never had infused water so I'm pretty curious about what it tastes like. . . although, it makes me concerned Kazuha adding Naku Weed into his kids' waters. You see. I've got a headcanon that this flower has some dangerous & hallucinogenic properties so I can't imagine Kazu risking his kids' safety lmao 🙈

By the way. I liked how you made it clear that only Isaar would be brave enough to drink infused water with Harra Fruit. I'm not saying Aryan is picky but Isaar is more willing to try and test new things than his twin brother <3

Wriothesley introducing tea to Marie is so true :(( It was so easy with Cameron because he immediately liked it but Marie to this day can't stand the herby-watery taste. She prefers almond milk much better, tysm 😌☝🏾

Thanks for the headcanons, sailor <3 They were quite funny! I'm here searching for infused waters myself. Though it does look nice, I don't know if it tastes interesting to my paladar.

February 2024. Originally entitled HENRY JAMES' DRIVE-AWAY DYKES until the studio objected, this fitfully violent, very silly lesbian road movie plays more like QUENTIN TARANTINO'S DYKES TO WATCH OUT FOR: Two mismatched gay friends, uptight Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) and oversexed Jamie (Margaret Qualley), decide to drive to Tallahassee via a drive-away car delivery service and end up pursued by a pair of bickering goons (Joey Slotnick and C.J. Wilson) looking to retrieve a mysterious package hidden in the trunk of our heroines' car.

A pet project for director Ethan Coen and his wife Tricia Cooke (who is gay), the film, set in 1999, is basically a droll mashup of low-budget '90s lesbian romcoms (e.g., GO FISH, BAR GIRLS) and the same period's innumerable PULP FICTION imitators, full of absurd bits of business and scene-stealing secondary characters, including Beanie Feldstein as Jamie's hilariously bitter cop ex-GF. Some of its more ridiculous moments feel like trying too hard, but it's largely unburdened by the creeping nihilism that often drags down the Coen Brothers' ostensibly comedic efforts.

Much like costar Margaret Qualley's cartoony Texas accent, it can't be taken seriously, but it's endearing if received in the spirit intended, and there are far worse ways to spend 75 minutes. Coen and Cooke say it's intended as the first in a loose trilogy of lesbian B-movies.

[ask-revenged-and-rescued]

are you guys good cooks? and if so, what's the dish you're best at making (or favourite to cook)?

Charles: I'm a pretty good cook, myself, though I haven't had the chance to show it off. I'm pretty good at making cheesy pasta, though!

Henry: You absolutely have to make that for me one day.

Charles: Oh, absolutely!

Quentin: I'm a decent cook, too, though I'm better with baking.

Andrew: I'm gonna stop it here before the rest of these idiots lie and say they can cook worth a damn; they can't.

[rumbleonthemill]

Since one of your recent reblogs talked about neighbor x player, do you have any headcanons that you wanna share for the ship?

omg of course!

these boys' been living in my head for 5 years. let's see some

Neighbor sleeps naked. or just in small boxers. and magically, Player exactly knows this.

also, Neighbor isn't bashful at all and often walks around in the house naked, while the other is peeking from the opposite house. Player's a bit ashamed about his own body.

they aren't exactly sure at this point, if they're a thing or not, but there certainly is this "can't live without you" thing going on already, they're just both horrible at admitting their feelings. they're both introverted, Neighbor very much.

the two actually love watching horror together and they laugh at it. more than often, during a chase, one of them just suddenly asks if the other wants to watch a movie and they do it.

Player had the opportunity to examine the lunch desk from very close multiple times

Neighbor is a gardener. He is growing  all kinds of spiky plants, from cactus to roses. too. the roses on my latest render are from his garden. the finest roses. Player was sad,but only because he thought the roses could've stayed on the bush, alive and didn't need to be cut yet.

Player loves small gifts and little attention from his man

on the surface they seem to be fighting all day, but when Neighbor sets a serious tone, Player changes to his caring self.

Neighbor is horrible with modern technology. He cannot handle newer photomachines (Polaroid) and especially not computers. Player makes fun of it, but not for long, because Neighbor actually is sad about this. he can invent anything, but modern stuff?! he's unable to learn to use it.

both of them can lockpick

Neighbor can use both hands equally. he can write, draw and cook with both hands.

both are bad chefs, they often order chinese because they both love it

Neighbor is addicted to his car to the point it makes Player jealous 

Player is also jealous whenever he sees "the doll" and the older man has a great time whenever he notices this

sometimes they just watch the sunset from the Neighbor's balcony, hand in hand. and then they go on with their day as if it didn't happen 

Neighbor is very emotional deep down. he falls first. ((with Smith and Quentin,Smith falls first)) if Player didn't accept the roses, he'd have cried fr. 

they often find eye contact randomly, while peeking at each other with binoculars from their own houses 

Player loves cuddling to the big russian bear

oh and yes, Neighbor has russian ancestors. Player isn't totally american either, plus he loves accents and low toned men

Neighbor never allows his moustache to be touched, because of that, the younger man wants to be the first to touch it, so badly

Neighbor does break in to Player's house if he runs out of milk (usually at night). he pretends as if it was normal.

and the list goes on! you could ask anything and I'd have a hc for it.

"Did you do something new with it?" Quentin asked, just having swallowed down a bite of the pastry she had brought, studying it on his plate. He was a good cook, and loved to experiment in the kitchen, but desserts were beyond him. Luckily he never needed to do those at Christmas or Thanksgiving. "It tastes a little bit more... hearty." He just finished his sentence when he heard some screaming upstairs, Sadie and Luke getting competitive over some video game. It was with a sigh that he switched his plate for the cup of steaming coffee. "Is it bad I can't wait for school to start?" @bridgetxlevitt

[allthegoodusernamesaretakenagain]

You can ignore this of course but what do you say about:

Let's go into our fav characters' rooms! 😉

Can you tell us a bit about what their rooms would look like?

Would they be clean? Messy? Full of books or plants? Mouldy sandwich from last month on the desk? Chair disappearing under a pile of clothes? Maybe posters on the walls?

(Can be either their room in the Zelda universe or modern!AU)

Hi!! Sorry for the late response, been a busy few days!

But yes omg, such a fun question let's do it! I'll do a modern AU take on this, I think it's more fun!

Quentin

Quentin's room would be covered in plants. He would have plants everywhere, vines, flowers, anything that can grow indoors, he has it. By the window, he has one of those suncatchers, so he can see the reflection of the sun and it helps him feel less trapped. Bright walls, nice woven carpets. A very cosy place. He would have a lot of journals and notes everywhere too, and probably a few ink stains on his desk from a few clumsy mistakes. There's also 100% a hole in his wall that he's plastered up because he tripped into it somehow. He has a very consistent vibe in his room of green and earth tones, with some nice posters of his favourite scientist (because he's a cute nerd and I love him) and glow in the dark stars on his ceiling.

Link

I picture Link's room as chaos. He has so many trinkets, useless little treasures he's taken home over the course of his life that have very little value or use but hold a lot of sentimental value. He definitely has a jar of seashells in his room, which he adds to every time he goes to the beach. There's overall a very sweet scent that is permanently settled in the room from his baking tendencies. There are cooking books on the shelves. Link's room has no rhyme or reason, there isn't a particular theme he's following, he just does what he likes. There's also just a corner with fitness equipment piling up, which he uses almost daily. And there is a box filled with past hobbies he's decided to try and then not picked up again.

Zelda

I like to imagine Zelda has an entire wall of books. She has a very cottage-core vibe, with a balcony with a little table for her morning coffee. She is, contrary to belief, quite messy, there will be revision notes everywhere, on the floor, walls, in her bed. She never makes her bed either, she doesn't have time for that. There are about a million pillows too, and she doesn't want to organise them. But it's a very bright room, with a big desk for her work. And, because I can, I'm giving her a secret library that she can access through her wall of books.

Impa

She has a room that hasn't escaped her teen angst stage. The walls are dark, covered in posters and photos of her friends, and she can't be bothered to rethink the design or aesthetic anymore. Every piece of furniture is mismatched, because she thrifted it all, and she likes the chaos of it. There is no doubt that her room is unique, no one has seen a room like it. She has a jewellery box full of necklaces and bracelets all tied together, and she dreads to think about untying all of them. Her desk is quite organised, filled with binders and notepads. She has a lot of fairy lights.

Clorissa

She has a princess room. Have you ever watched The Princess Diaries 2? And Anne Hatherway gets to see her room in the castle for the first time and it's just amazing? That's what Clorissa's room is like, and she loves it. She completely embraces the girly side of herself and indulges in it, and I love that for her. She would keep it incredibly clean, not a single spec of dust to be seen. Her wardrobe is so perfect and everything is in its place.

Ronan

Ronan, like Clorissa, is very clean and organised. He has a country/cowboy theme going on, with a lot of photos of the horses he takes care of and of his family. The floors are wooden, and he has a red colour theme with his bedding and curtains, to give the room some colour. He likes a lot of homemade products, so many of his things are one of a kind. He has a record player and quite a big vinyl collection, which he is very protective over.

Daria

Messy, but not too messy. She keeps it just on the right side of messy and makes sure to clean it before it gets worse. She has a lot of photos, they are all printed off and stuck to the wall, and take up almost the entire space. She barely uses her desk, it's mostly there to chuck things on when she gets home. Hanging clothes up is her enemy, she hates it, so there are always lots of clothes on the floor and the chair, building up and up. Daria likes colder colours, like purple and blue, which she has a lot of.

Denzel

Here we are. The mess. The room where you can't see the floor under all the clothes and random junk. Denzel lives in ruin. His bed is never made. He has one single pillow. Where is his other shoe? Oh, of course, on top of the wardrobe! Where is his hoodie? Ah yes, scrunched up in a ball under the bed. His bin is overflowing with noodle cups and protein bar wrappers. There are just too.many.socks. When the Brinston siblings have to go get Denzel from his room, they play rock, paper, scissors and hope the loser comes back alive. His walls are barren, and decoration isn't his forte. Quentin got him one plant, to brighten up the place, and it died quite quickly. He never made the mistake again.

[kaleschmidt]

DSAF Assorted HCs (Part 2)

yeah. uh. get fucking jumpscared. previous part here

once again expect some TKPverse stuff here ok? nice

Jack

This is important okay you need to fucking listen to me. that is a short, fat, hairy man. I don't care that he's corpsy he is hairy as hell.

he has. so many issues. there's probably more but my current hcs for him are npd, bipolar, n adhdtism

his nervous stim is backflipping (thx quentin)

He chose his own middle name and it starts with an F. that's all i'm saying

It has a biting/chewing stim and will chew on anything it can get its hands on. Dave can get bited as a treat. otherwise shirt

Jack can sew!! They did it often when they were taking care of Dee and picked it up from their mom.

^ Jack made Dee's scarf btw. also after dee's death, jack stopped sewing

Jack DID pick sewing back up again (kinda) when he realized he kinda has to sew their body parts back up

He fucking HATES being called "Jackie". no exceptions

From DSAF 1-2, he wears a wig. Pre-DSAF 3, he starts growing it out, though. cuts/shaves it into a fucked up mullet for DSAF 3 though.

..... the mullet is made out of mold. Sorry. He's insane and so am I

As it worked on the machine for the Flipside, whenever it got KFC, it always broke any wishbones in the bucket, hoping it would help contribute to the machine working- that all his efforts would be worth something. TKPverse, he still does this

Dave

This is obviously i LITERALLY MADE A WHOLE FUCKING POST ABOUT IT but Dave has bpd. He also has adhdtism n probs a few other things

Dave really doesn't like when people are behind her and rather people walk in front of her instead. ESPECIALLY when walking through doorways

actually likes licorice. in my heart.

Dave has faint tastebuds after the whole "eating an ashtray" thing. Kebabs are his comfort food though

Capable of falling asleep with his eyes open. This has made Jack shit a few times

Dave steals Jack's clothes sometimes. they're big on him

Peter

major sin i'm sorry. peter is a big disney fan. i don't have a favorite movie for him yet

more of a silly hc n not anything solid but when he dressed up as The Rat, I like to imagine Peter did a very horrible mickey impression. we love you peter

When Naomi's (his daughter) sixth birthday passed, Peter was so relieved that she survived that he cried to Caroline about it, after Naomi was tucked into bed

This is like. a hc i debatably switch between having and not, but Peter's middle name is Guy. for normal reason.s

Caroline

She and Jack actually got along well! They like to tease each other a lot

VERY skilled in wrestling

Caroline had several brothers she used to live with (she was the oldest sibling), so she can relate to Peter abt older sibling troubles

SHIT at fucking cooking. peter was the one who cooked. she did her best though

Japanese-American i can't accept her being fully white i'm sorry.

Matt

Further elaborating on the timeline stuff he has going on: Matt more or less has a hivemind throughout timelines that shares memories throughout. hope that helps

^ JACK DOES NOT FUCKING KNOW THIS AND MATT IS NOT LETTING HIM KNOW THAT.

I can't believe i never said this but Matt is mixed. filipino + white specifically. GO WASIAN BOY GO. he's not exactly as connected w his filipino heritage though

he actually likes madonna as an artist but he'd rather die than admit that. you're not getting that out of him.

Davesport

On the few occassions the two take a shower, Jack + Dave shower together. helps a lot. they make a fucking mess sometimes though

Sometimes they sleep together naked. fuck you. ok? sniff. let me have this

i'd put this in their respective sections, but jack + dave have specific sleeping styles. Jack likes to sleep all sprawled out, and Dave does that sometimes too! But mostly she's all cozied up to Jack. likes to feel smaller sometimes

Dave likes to knock his head against Jack sometimes ok? ok.

Relationships

now that i have gotten him i can finally confirm. oscar + matt bffs 4ever

Matt likes Jack, in the sense that he's interesting to it, with most timelines revolving around him. Would never want to get involved with his business though. It's too hot for that shit

Peter + Dave frenemies ftw... they will begrudgingly get along. they're more similar than they think

so like i know that i said jack + harry had a fling in the last post but i grew and changed as a person. that's a lesbian phone. I do think that Jack trusted Harry the most out of the other phoneys, though

I think Jack saw a bit of itself in Roger. never admitting though.

off-topic but has jack fucking hit on every phone employee of his. i haven't seen jake's shit but has he. Jack.

Dave actually has a ... somewhat nice acquaintanceship w Steven! i kinda need them to bond a little more ok?

[snkts]

interpersonal   ⸺    the ability to understand and interact effectively with others: effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives.

Logan is... Surprisingly good at this. He's a pack animal at heart. He likes having people around - even if he likes his solitude, too - and when he has his people, he likes looking after them. He can't help it.

For as gruff as he is, Logan is a very effective team leader. He's had a lot of experience at this. If you can name a Marvel team, there's a good chance Logan was on it, and at one point acted as a leader. He doesn't necessarily try to be in charge as much as it just... Happens, though there are some matters he can get very pushy on. For example, if he thinks someone isn't a good fit for a mission, he will let you know. And I don't just mean because he doesn't think your powers are a good fit, or because he wants in, instead.

If Logan thinks a mission isn't healthy for you, physically or emotionally, he will tell you. He might even offer to do the mission himself - because even if he doesn't seem like it, Logan cares about the people he feels responsible for. He will move mountains for them, and he's not shy about it. He will give up everything for them. He'll fight for them. He'll stand by them when they need him, and sometimes when they don't. It takes a lot for him to turn on someone, and when he does, it takes even more for him to consider it permanent. He's way more forgiving than he ever should be.

I've talked about this ad nauseum before, so I'll just give a brief summary here. He forgave Quentin Quire for stealing his consciousness and trying to kill him. Not only does he forgive Quentin, but he acts as a surrogate father for the kid and DEFECTS FROM THE XMEN TO OPEN HIS OWN SCHOOL when the team debates turning Quentin over to the government, just so they wouldn't have the jurisdiction to make that choice anymore. In earlier comics, he tried to offer Sabertooth psychological help, even recommending Charles to him as a therapist. He wanted to help him. When Dog is about to fall to his death, after everything he did, Logan saves him and says he wants to get a chance to be brothers. When they found the baby Apocalypse, Logan and Wade were the only ones who argued they might be able to raise him to be better.

Logan's often called the conscience or the heart and soul of the X-Men. He does what he thinks is right, will reign the others in if they're acting in ways he thinks are immoral, and he doesn't bullshit anyone about it. Logan will tell you what he thinks, when he thinks it - though he has been known to alter his tone and delivery based on who he speaks to, especially if it's a kid. He'll help his teammates through their panic attacks, cook them meals suited to their diets, and patch up their wounds, and run them ragged in danger room sims, shit talk their plans, and call them dumbasses. It's his strong morality, his loyalty, his honesty, and the care he gives to his team that earns their respect just as much as, if not more than, his skill in battle, and he never forgets this.

Waving someone off when they catch me genuinely smiling. Shouting during a good scratch.

What is your earliest memory?

- Probably social services snatching me from my mother. I was back after a few months. But I remember being ripped from her arms, it was fucked up.

How much schooling have you had?

- I barely graduated high school but I did it. If it wasn't for my daughter I wouldn't have went back.

- A nigga from my hood named Black. He taught me the ways of the street, how to provide for fam, and how to look at the people in the hood like fam too.

While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?

- It was just me, my mom, and my little brother. After a while I became the provider. So our relationship was pretty decent because they knew I was the one bringing home the money by time I was eleven or so.

- I knew I wanted to be a boss as a child, I just remember wanting to be an OG mostly.

As a child, what were your favorite activities?

- Probably stealing cars, boosting, or working out.

- I didn't really have many years of childhood. I was involved in gangs by the age of 10. Most of my friends were older kids already in the gangs.

When and with whom was your first kiss?

- I can't remember. Probably my child's mother.

Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?

OH GOD, IT'S SINKING INTO HIS BONES MORE.

The reality of everything does start to slip under his skin, submerging itself like oil does in water. THE DENSITY OF IT DROPPING TO THE PIT AT THE BOTTOM OF HIS STOMACH. He's asked Tony to help him start on the next part of his recovery journey; Clint doesn't like that he is learning to know himself so well that starting off at AA meeting after leaving rehab was going to feel like a foreign language, it's going to feel like lip reading when he doesn't know how the lips he is reading or if they were even in the right language. He heeded the AID, if only to start and if they do run into another avenger than it's only going to cement that HE'S ADMITTING TO HIS PROBLEMS.

That's not a bad thing but Clint's never been the think about it kind of guy. He's your average kind of guy who jumps into risky business, takes immediate action, and has to ask all the questions later. Or not at all. PUNCH FIRST, HIT LIKE A TRUCK, AND MAKE SURE THEY STAY DOWN KIND OF GUY.

Addressing his problems meant sitting back and looking at his life with thought first. Asking the questions first, admitting that alcohol has been the easy solution, the quick answer, to dealing with things he can't think about. Always called it liquid comfort, always needed the aid for the sleep and it felt good to get woozy in celebration after the day or the morning or whatever else.

THREE HOURS OF MEDIATION TIME BECAUSE HE WAS IN A CAST FOR FOUR WEEKS EVERY DAY WAS TOO MUCH THINKING TIME IN HIS OPINION.

❝ I know Squirrel Girl is a real person, in theory, but at this point she may just be the state of Ohio and has to be unreal. ❞ Considering the stories he has heard about the young hero specifically from Tony; Clint's glad that he's mostly only adopted Kate Bishop as his young hero attache. Although, he did welcome the likes of Kate's teammates if they needed the old guy's two cents. EVEN QUENTIN QUIRE, but he hasn't heard any absolutely out of whack stories like Squirrel Girl.

No, QQ is just talks in things he has no interest in ever understanding.

❝ The phone being gone is probably for the best. ❞ One of the leading causes for him to backslide would be for Clint to obsess over the voicemails and text messages that were left unanswered on his phone. HE HAD A KNACK FOR HOLDING ONTO THINGS. Grudges, broken things, causes for pain, and any old stub of a memory. Mistakes too, he kept those so he could compare them up to how identical they are from than and now; something about never quite learning the lesson.

THAT CHANGES WITH THIS; HOPEFULLY. HE'S GOT TO TRY, HE IS WORKING AT IT.

❝ Animal everything; if I don't get heart failure or stomach acids than we're feeding me wrong. ❞ HUMOUR! That, and he was really hungry. Did he mention to Tony that they sent him to a health nut facility? That's not to say he didn't learn a thing or two, as he did and would be applying it to the next time he can be up and cooking for himself.

And Tony. He'll be cooking for him too; small ways to thank him for all that he's done. IT'S TOO MUCH. He needed to give up, quell the indebted feeling.

HE SIGHS AND MAKES A SOUND AS HE BITES INTO HIS FOOD. ❝ Oh, I missed you, food. ❞ Considering he hasn't had much of an appetite for a month? He missed it.

Tony had assumed Clint would know who it was. Neither he or Carol kept their alcoholism a huge secret. Shit - Carol had agreed to go into AA as part of a plea deal when she'd punched Tony through a commercial airliner while she was completely off her face. It was a matter of public record. But Tony wasn't going to name-names.

He's glad Clint agrees to going. He'll have to do some meetings alone, but having at least one that Tony is there for to start off with will make it easier. All the studies show no matter what path you take to get clean, it's impossible to do alone.

Tony laughs again at the Ultron comment. "You know - Ultron was actually a dinosaur for a while. Apparently Squirrel Girl fought him in the savage land. That girl has the most extra things happen to her, and I'm saying that. Me. Tony Stark."

He shook his head. "Careful what you wish for is all I'm saying. Anyway, yeah I guess you'll be seeing me momming it up. Assuming I'm right and they take my home time as an opportunity to have her somewhere more stable. I'll definitely take the help. And I got clothes for you, and your bow. The phone was gone, but there's a new one. I did also contact Matt about how likely it was you'll get it back, because losing all your shit sucks, but I guess he'll contact you about that. And in the meantime - new phone. And I guess other than that, we just have to not murder each other. That'll be fun."

He turned off at the next exit and pulled into an In-n-out, joining the line for drive through. "Time to feed your need for salt and processed meat and carbohydrates. Animal style everything or just fries?"

Steve: HELP! I TOLD NANCY I'D COOK DINNER TONIGHT BUT I CAN'T COOK!

Quentin, pouring milk directly into the cereal bag: And you thought I could help?

<source>

[eliotandquentinsittinginatree]

Little quirks I like imagining

The one time that Todd asks Quentin to help him with making dinner for every one, he is nearly deafened by everyone around shouting “NO!”.

Josh looks completely horrified remembering the time when Q offered to peel the potatoes. “There was so much blood...”

Margo shudders and takes a drink of her wine, thinking about the time her and Quentin tried to make a cake for Eliot’s birthday. “... it melted... and then it exploded... “

Julia just shakes her head, fond resignation. “He made me toast once. Somehow one was burned to a crisp, and the other soft and soggy. Also, the toaster burned down.”

Penny just shruggs. “I’m not entering the ktichen when he is in. The nerd is always singing some Taylor Swift song in his head when he is in there.”

Quentin looks up at Eliot, from where the two are cuddled together on the love seat. “Hey, I’m a decent cook, right?”

Eliot smiled at him, all indulgence and love. “You are cute when you are in denial.”
