#she isn't hearing kill bill sirens at all

I was rereading your blurbs about Walter, Jesse, and princesa and I was just thinking about what it would be like if Walter and Lalo interacted. So they’re like at eladio’s house for one of his cartel parties (because I love that scene) and we all know how Jesse and Lalo are when they’re in the same proximity, but Walter and Lalo? I’m thinking that Walter slips up and says something to Lalo about how reader had so much more potential other than just being pregnant with lalo’s babies, and well, lalo is just hearing kill bill sirens. And everyone around them is just like 😳🤦‍♂️🧍‍♂️, like even Jesse knows not to say that to the dangerous cartel member with a GUN. And princess is just in the background with her bebes playing with them in the pool.

You just know Walter was so happy to have a good student with so much potential. Constant classes of kids who didn't care or the obvious overachievers who only cared about the grade, not the science. He would always favor the latter - but a young Princesa, quiet and kind, sat right next to Jesse. It's just a shame to him. She was such a good student, and she's ended up here.

I feel like Lalo would never let his little ones around Eladio, especially during one of the parties, but her very pregnant and shyly showing Jesse photos of her kids? Yeah, that's happening. Lalo's watching them.

"Was she your favorite student?"

"I..." Walter's head is tilted slightly, curved in the neck. "I made sure to never pick favorites. I had the students that made days frustrating and she wasn't one of them. She had a lot of potential."

Walter takes a sip of his drink, lips curving down to say 'Well, so-so.'

"I actually remember trying to help with figure out what colleges she wanted to go to. She could've gotten into any of them. I never did that with Jesse. He knows."

Lalo stares, not one sip taken.

Meanwhile, Jesse's scratching his head at all these photos of all these...kids. Isn't she his age? They're not over thirty and fucking grey and there's like four of those fuckers. And another one on the way. They're cute, though.

"Yeah, man - I see your face in that one. Fucking genes, maybe if Mr. White taught biology instead cause yo...that's like a mini...Mexican you. I don't know why I'm saying if Mr. White taught it, I would've failed bio even harder."

"That's what Lalo says, but I think all of them look like him."

Lalo stares, not one blink taken.

"Had potential?"

Walter meets the man's eyes.

"I mean, she's made herself happy. I'm glad to see it. She was always quiet - and not that a quiet nature means a depressed one...but seeing her happy here. It's - it's nice."

"...But you don't think what's making her happy has brought her to her true potential."

Walter's mouth parts. "No, no. I didn't say that. I always did think she was going to do more, but it's the bare minimum that I never - never really thought about my students when it wasn't needed. I didn't-I never imagined what her life would be like."

Lalo keeps staring. It's not an invitation to keep talking, but it's Walter. He'll keep talking.

"I did think it would be more the a plethora of children. It's surprising to see that make her so happy...and at such a young age, but maybe I'm just projecting what it would be like if someone like...say - Jesse, if Jesse went ahead and had a kid right now, he has the potential to do more than have five and do nothing else."

And that's the mistake the turns on sirens in Lalo's head.

Princesa and Jesse has overheard, along with a few others. The few others may not understand the exact context of the situation, but it's making their blood cringe in the stream.

Princesa sniffles. Jesse closes his eyes. Lalo's staring at the glass in Walter's hand, he wants it to crack and come onto the old man's skin. Fucking gringo - telling him about his girl.

She doesn't need to be anything else, and he needs to bleed.

Not here, though. Not now. Princesa's so happy today. And Walter...Walter's just unwell.

Princesa doesn't need to be anything else, she could do anything, but no fucking bald punk in a khakis is gonna tell Lalo or her that she should be doing more. Walter shouldn't think he's smart to believe that.

But not here. Not now.

"Princesa, let's go. I bet they're missing you and I know you forgot to take your vitamins-"

"I didn't-"

"You can argue. Don't make you right."

Lalo holds her on the way out, he doesn't let her say goodbye to Walter or Jesse.

"What?"

"...You wanna fucking kill us, man?"

Lalo has to hold her hand during the car ride home.

"Your old teacher is a fucking fool, Princesa. You don't need to be talking to him. I think he got the...the dementia. But you don't need to be talking to him."

He boldly sucks on Princesa's thumb before she can find anything to say.

why wasn't it enough, bill? why weren't we enough?

From staring down the barrel of his own gun he shifts his narrowed gaze on Frank Castle and this new world he has forcing himself to live within shattered to pieces around him. The Punisher sounds defeated, his voice rough and pained, not only from the toll their fight had taken on them both but from those hidden depths he so cleverly hid.

It's maddening to hear those words. To the point he only realizes the roaring that suddenly dies down had been a sound ripped from his own throat.

He didn't know how Frank could so calmly ask him something so..

Why weren't they enough? Why weren't his best friend, his lover and his family enough? No, that isn't right, that isn't what he really wants to know. He wants to know how Billy had turned a blind eye and let it all happen. He wants to know how he could have loved someone who he saw as heartless and cruel; Evil.

Funny.

Real. Funny.

None of this would have happened if Frank had taken that out Billy offered. None of this would have come to pass if Frank Castle had put some goddamned faith in what they meant to each other. Two kids Billy had loved wouldn't have been dead if Frank hadn't lost touch with what really mattered.

But Castle didn't want to hear that. He probably didn't even think about that.

Like he hadn't thought about the heart he was breaking with a shotgun wedding and a baby months later. Like he hadn't thought about how the man in love with him would slowly break and crumb when he became Uncle Billy, when the woman who stole him started teasing and acting like she knew him..

"Why weren't you enough?!?!" He screams, lightning racing down his spine as he walks forward and presses that barrel to the center of his own forehead. There's tears shining unshed in black, wild eyes and rage balling his hands into fists. "Why wasn't I?" Harder into hot metal he presses, the pain just a reminded of everything else that had come before. He could hear the sirens screaming blocks away. It was only a matter of time now. And who knew what the feds would find when the finally showed up on the scene. Two rotting corpses still drawing breath.

"You were the only family I ever knew. The only family I ever loved. And just like that junkie whore of a mother.. How easy you replaced me. So go ahead, Frankie Boy. Pull the fuckin' trigger.. You already killed me years ago."

FE3H: Annet with an S/O who starts to hum one of her songs to themselves

annette album when,,,

nav.

Now, we all know Annette would rather like, die or smth, if she hears anybody, and I mean anybody, humming her songs. Not because she hates them no, but because they're, in her opinion, silly. Usually they're to help pass the time with chores so she isn't bored out of her mind, with no real serious composition.

And from her supports with Claude and Felix, we've seen her literally be this close to throwing hands. You’re playing a dangerous game /j. Like maybe one day in a far off future where the war is over and done with and you and Annette are living the cottagecore dream (me when huh.) perhaps you’re doing some random chore around the house and Annette’s stepped out for something. You don’t expect her to stand in the doorway flabbergasted as you hum about dishes and soap bubbles similarly to the song she had been singing before.

insert kill bill sirens as you two awkwardly make eye contact-

jk jk (unless-)

in all seriousness though, if this was during the school phase TM then she would think that you were making fun of her, which can lead to Miscommunication, but this is a time for fluffy hcs, so we're gonna pretend nothing's wrong :) (cough), but once she knows that you're not making fun of her, she will still be a little embarrassed but she wont think anything too bad about it (she's sensitive okay, but she's doing her best).

But anyway, she's still embarrassed about it, but it won't be as much as when she was a student. (Somehow, somewhere, Claude and Felix are punching the air because while they're considered scoundrels, you are simply built different). Annette will try and be like "oh they're just silly songs they don't mean anything." wrong!! they are bops okay.

sometimes you may catch her humming along to your humming, so just duet with her. let Annie sing to her heart's content bc it's what she deserves. But that also means you get to be serenaded by her... lucky smh... take those serenades and cherish them bc it's one of the many things you two can look back on in the future and remember the memory fondly.

although if you get cheeky with the lyrics she may smack you so beware

Beth's face after he tells her that she doesn't need to worry about it, just stay in her lil' lane.. If looks could kill, Rio would be dead right there on BM's floor LOL do u think this is gonna make her try to find out what he is doing, since he isn't telling her shit, and follow him around? Coz that is what I think she'll end up doing...

Right? I seriously could hear the Kill Bill sirens, haha. 

I definitely think it’s going to make Beth try to figure out what he’s doing. I mean, we all know this show loves it’s parallels, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the show has doubled down on the way Dean has kept her in the dark and chronically belittled and underestimated her this season. I think this episode is setting it up that, despite Dean and Rio being very different people, and doing it for very different reasons, history is kind of repeating. I don’t think Rio belittles or underestimates her necessarily, but I think he can be incredibly patronising and domineering, and I think Beth’s done putting up with that kind of behaviour. She’s not going to be ignored anymore, and certainly not by him. 

I’ve seen a few people saying that Rio’s doing it for her protection, but I disagree. I don’t think they’re there yet in terms of their relationship (even though I really do think he feels affection for her). I think ultimately that he still doesn’t trust her - keeping Boomer’s body is suuuper indicative of that, and I mean, yeah, they’re in this one business together, but I highly doubt that Rio’s a one-business sort of guy, ya know? I mean, the emphasis on flippping a game throughout the show points to that, but I also think it’s likely that he has his fingers in a few different pies to keep things in his life good. The fact that he could part with the money like he did? Even just briefly? I think it shows he’s got more on his plate than just that, which means that the Boland Motors operation is a part of an empire, it’s not the empire.

And in that sort of way, it kind of works brilliantly? She’s working with him and for him in this specific area, and he’s keeping her loyal (and stopping her from snitching again) because she and her girls are getting what they need (aka money) and she’s also feeling empowered, and like she’s in control, but he’s also burying her deeper criminally with him, and all those things actually keep him fairly in control of her in a way that works for both of them at this point. 

And maybe that would’ve been okay if they hadn’t slept together, but the issue now is, I think, that she’s bringing all her Dean-shaped baggage to all their interactions. Whereas maybe if this thing was platonic between them, she could just do it, and let it go, and enjoy herself getting what she needs and deserves, she can’t do that anymore. I don’t think she can let herself be fucked and fucked over in the literal sense, and I don’t think she can handle the thought of a man who she’s romantically (or at least sexually) entangled with keeping her in the dark.

As much as I loved the scenes of Lucy and Aaron in 4x03, I feel like their conversation about grief should have happened between Lucy and Angela.

We got two scenes of Angela being hesitant about returning to work, one focused on being a mother, the other one focused on Jackson. 

We did get a scene where Nyla (in a truly Nyla way) helps ease Angela’s hesitation about returning to work as a new mother.

But they never addressed the second. No pause or moment of oh fuck. They even mentioned in the episode grief sneaks up on you at the most surprising moments. They could have even mixed Angela missing Jackson with the subplot of Nolan campaigning to become a union rep, just a small nod at how Jackson might have been a good choice for the position. They could have mentioned him with the whole no one says breast milk thing in because we all know Angela would have bitched to Jackson about it and he would be incredibly empathic, but would also have found it hilarious. Or just a general acknowledgment that Angela also lost a friend, one that was so important that she named her child after him.

I would have loved a scene of Angela being frustrated in the women's locker room. Pumping is hard, the fridge isn't working, Wesley has been off lately in a way that pings her cop brain, and having a new baby is tiring. She wants to be at home cuddling her baby instead of pumping in the uncomfortable locker room being reminded time and time again that her friend is dead and Lucy just catching her at the peak of her fustration, allowing them to talk about their shared grief and their experience with it sneaking up on you. 

I can’t think of a single scene of just Angela and Lucy interacting in a meaningful way, I really can’t. The episode would’ve been the perfect time to have two of our main characters actually become friends as they talk about grief, about missing Jackson, and just bond in a way they haven’t before. The writers are more focused on building Nolan’s relationship than on creating one between two interesting female characters. They should have one of the stronger relationships in the whole show.

Also, why haven’t Angela and Lucy bonded about being kidnapped and essentially tortured by mass murderers?

“Others might read...something else into it”

Does that mean we might get a scene where others do read something else into it? 

Because it sure as hell does feel like a plot point has been set up.

I can think of three things that are being set up and I would be okay with happening:

1.

Someone that has a problem with either Tim or Lucy or someone who is just a plain old misogynistic asshole brings it up. Using it as an insult to imply that Lucy is were she is because she is sleeping with Tim 

Just imagine the faces the two of them would make at the comment. I like the idea of both of them hearing it at the same time, but like if it was only Lucy? *kill bill sirens* but if it was only Tim? We all know the boy would carry the vindication with guilt. Either way, we get scenes of them grappling with the fact that people are going to think that Lucy slept with Tim for the position. It gives the writers room to acknowledge the complicated feelings both of them would have at the fact but also it gives them room to move past them before a relationship actually occurs. 

2.

It will become a real problem moving forward for Lucy in her search for a promotion, coming from other prospects to the same position or even from a supervisor who won’t be able to see past it. We would get a scene of Lucy proving herself. We might also get a scene of Tim defending Lucy (“I don’t need your protection or your help! I can take care of myself”) or just linger for a moment in the fact that Lucy lost an opportunity because she choose to ride with TIm again. 

3. 

It never actually becomes a problem, but it is something that hangs over them and the precinct, a held breath that with every single second becomes harder and harder to bear, something they discuss with other coworkers but never with each other because it's just too much. So many possible scenes, so many parallels we could get. Just pure amazing tension. 

I can’t wait to see if they do something with it.

I watched all of Fate: The Winx Saga

Here are my thoughts as a long time fan of the original (some mild spoilers):

THE GOOD:

I liked that they changed Bloom’s family dynamic.

Bloom’s backstory changes somewhat but I feel like the changes add to the story.

I adored Terra, she is my favorite character.

I loved that the teachers are badass.

Love the eye effects when fairies are practicing magic.

Female specialist!!!

Male fairies!!!!!!!

I liked that the specialist and the fairies all go to the same school but have different halls.

The CGI is not bad.

The training sequences are good.

Most of the actors are good or even great. 

The Musa and Stella’s scene was really really good.

Same with Musa and Terra’s scenes. 

The design of the Burned Ones is cool.

Stella’s character arc is actually pretty satisfying.

The ending is really fun and left me wanting for more.

Most of the characters are morally gray and not only does it makes sense, but it adds to the “edgier and darker” aspect of the story.

I like that Bloom and the other characters admit when they are wrong.

The changes to Musa’s character, backstory, and abilities are actually inspired.

THE MEH:

The plot is okay.

The clothes are okay.

The relationship between male characters is okay.

Sky as a character is okay

The secondary villains are okay. Beatrix is actually almost good. 

The world-building is okay (borderline bad).

The romance is okay.

The music is okay. 

THE BAD:

Aisha has no backstory other than sports. She is really only there to be a supporting character. Also other characters are too harsh on her. 

The main villain is not developed correctly, she is still really intimidating. 

A lot of the character changing points feel rushed and without basis.

The friendship between the Winx is nonexistent, they just shoehorn a scene at the end.

They focus more on Bloom’s relationship with Sky and Beatrix than with her and some of the Winx.

I don’t buy that the Winx are friends.

I don’t like what they did with Stella even though I like where she ends up. I have to admit her backstory on the show makes a lot of sense for this version of the character.  

They try to be edgy and “woke” but fail. A lot.

For a show about magic, there’s really very little. The way they use magic is also really uncreative. 

Some of the concepts and world-building are at best confusing and at worst nonsensical.

Bloom is “the chosen one” but they don’t explain why until the last episode in the last 10 minutes and it, once again, feels rushed. They do try to explain why she is special on other episodes but it makes no sense. 

The Winx never really work together. When they supposedly do, they split up until only Bloom is the one doing magic or the saving. At one point Stella and Aisha turn invisible and that’s why they don’t fight the Burned Ones. They are only on the sidelines watching Bloom kick ass. 

There is so little magic.

The plot feels rushed, the relationships forced, and the characters incomplete.

In conclusion, the series made some great changes, the CGI and action are good, some characters and relationships are great, there is a lot of things that are just *shrug*. The main problem is that the pacing isn’t great, the series would have benefited from one or two extra episodes or a simpler story so that they could really develop the relationship between the main characters, establish the villain better and clarify the world-building. 

TL;DR: The series is enjoyable even though it has pacing problems, and while not the most accurate adaptation it's worth a watch.

The only way I can think that Tim and Lucy would admit their feelings is if they were prodded out of them.

Just imagine, Tim and Angela are talking, maybe baby Jack is asleep and Tim mentions one of Lucy’s pranks or just praises her for one of her arrests. Picture Angela smiling and just saying “you like her.”

Tim being all like “of course I like her, she is a good cop and a good friend” I can clearly see Angela interrupting him and being all “No. you like her.” and Tim not being able to deny it just staring at Angela who then goes “Holy shit. How long have you known?” because we all know that if Tim had realized that he was developing feelings for an officer that was underneath him in the chain of command he would have stopped and taken action to rectify the situation, it had to be something that snuck up on him. 

You can choose the moment he knew, but I like to think it was the moment she decided to go undercover and Tim reacted as more than just a T.O and more than just a coworker, but when he fell in love? Not even Tim knows. Maybe when she guaranteed that everything would be fine after the virus, maybe when they toasted to the end of the world with tequila and whiskey. Maybe it was when she ran after leaving him with the rookies’ tab, finding her inside the barrel, when she gave him her dog, when she gave him the audiobooks, at this point, it's too late to try and establish a singular moment. Tim gives his replay and Angela just shakes her head, they both know what this means, it’s over, before it can even start. 

“Tim.” Angela would say happy and sad in equal measure. It's not like Isabel, she was in another precinct, they were both officers, rank, and authority had no place in that relationship. But with Lucy? It's the biggest thing there is. “You have to tell Grey.” 

And Tim would have nothing to do but sigh. “I know.” His feelings not only put her promising career in jeopardy, but they also put her in danger. Any decision he makes in the field that involves her would be compromised by his feelings, he would never be able to guarantee that he took the decision with a clear head and perspective. 

He would have to tell Grey. 

For Lucy, I can only think that she would know after Tim knows. I can picture an episode or two when the audience knows about Tim’s feelings because we watch Grey deal with the repercussions, we watch Angela teasing Tim and then talking with Wesley at night about what it all means, what it could all mean in the long run. But we haven’t gotten confirmation of Lucy’s feelings. 

That is, of course, until Tim gets hurt. Maybe in the job, maybe outside of it, but it's an incident that triggers Lucy’s PTSD. She maintains a clear head while on the clock, an expert at compartmentalizing at this point, she wants to rush to his side, wants to make sure he is okay. Constantly asking for updates on the radio or text, as soon as she clocks out she is by his side. Maybe he is still unconscious or maybe he is watching one of his games on the TV, but Lucy rushes in and all she can think is how she almost lost him. Tim, her T.O, her friend, her safe place and that’s when it hits her. Watching him in the hospital bed with him smiling at her. It’s her oh moment. 

She stays and talks to him, they flirt with their eyes like they always do, teasing each other because it's easier to express their relief and worry that way, when visiting hours are over and she is getting ready to leave, Something stops her, maybe Tim, maybe her own desire to stay. They always have emotional talks right before one of them leaves, it's how it goes, how it needs to go. 

Tim thanks her, maybe asks if she will be alright at home, is Tamara going to be with her? He has to know how it affects her to see her friends in the hospital. Maybe he tells her that she is so brave. Maybe she is the one that asks after him, about how he is really feeling if he is sure he doesn't want company through the night. Maybe the air is charged with the things they haven’t said, can’t say. Maybe it's easy to look at his lips, at her lips. They always stand far apart, maybe this time we get to know why the distance is crucial to maintain the boundaries. Maybe they can’t keep it up this time. It's the almost kiss. They have to get interrupted, that’s the deal we signed when we decided we liked slow burn. 

And then Lucy goes home, she lays in bed gazing at the ceiling confused and craving the kiss that didn’t happen. 

The kiss that does happen has to be after they solve all the consent and work issues their relationship has. I don’t think the show could work any other way, I don’t think we would want a show that would ignore all of it. In my mind, she moves to another chain of command when she becomes an official U.C. and it makes things better. They spend less time together at work, but more time together after, they grab beers, they play darts, paintball becomes a standing date. 

I want the kiss to happen in plain clothes, maybe they are both undercover, trailing after a person of interest and they kiss to hide (cliche and overused, but who cares when its such a good trope.) Maybe they are at a bar, and Lucy’s song comes on, and she pulls him to the dance he owes her, and they get closer and closer and then they can’t hold back. Maybe it's the anniversary, of the barrel, of the wedding that never happened and Lucy needs something good to replace all the bad. Maybe they meet her parents, maybe they see Isabel again. Maybe she gets jealous of a woman that won’t stop flirting with Tim, maybe it's the other way around. A prank goes just far enough that he was to kiss her, can’t help but lean into her and finally find her lips. Maybe they had another almost kiss and he goes after her, hours after it almost happened; with vague excuses that don’t hold up to scrutiny and they kiss by the door. 

I want it to be a sweet hesitant kiss, the equivalent of dipping a toe to test the temperature of the water, they have to separate, they have to stare at each other in awe. 

Two things can happen and both would make me squeal. They go right back at kissing and this time it's a cannonball after finding that the water is the perfect temperature. The music builds and builds and we fade to black when the bedroom door slams shut. The other thing that could happen is that they stare at each other in awe and quietly separate, knowing that everything has changed and the person who initiated the kiss just gazes at the lips they recently tasted and carefully says goodnight. Leaving the other staring at the door with flushed cheeks. 

Then the music comes and the credits roll.
