⋆ Nathan Drake: Domestic Headcanons ⋆

The long-awaited, completely unasked for companion piece to @durrtydawg's Sam domestic headcanons piece. Revel in my self-indulgent, self-absorbed, and grotesquely specific fantasies of getting to call Nathan Drake my house husband. A house husband who jumps off speeding trains with a handgun on the occasional Thursday.

Not only does our pretty boy Nathan Morgan need someone who grounds him— (though that can mean many things; Nate is anything but a one type man)

But for someone who he genuinely believes won’t judge him for who he is

With them, every morning is peaceful and slow 

Will come up from behind before breakfast with a slow grasp at their waist, a delicate kiss he doesn’t break for a good few seconds against his partner's cheek or neck (will literally sigh into it)

And he fucking loves if they do the same for him

Everything is slow and silence and sighs

(He’s rarely so fucking quiet, and he appreciates someone who he feels comfortable finally letting everything go for. His voice gets hoarse with how much he��s always screaming and snarking)

Will shudder more from morning intimacy than straight up sex; if he’s surprised by kisses up his back as he makes some (admittedly, pretty runny) eggs, he'll accidentally drop and shatter dishes like nobody’s business

Speaking of which, only ever gets the cheapest plates/cups because he’s always fucking breaking them (thrift store, preferably)

James Taylor, Norah Jones, Michael Buble, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and (oddly enough) Barbra Streisand for relaxing morning music 

And will white man boogie with a comically bit lip if they quietly, affectionately look at him for long enough 

Speaking of: despite his best efforts, as he starts to wake up, he’ll grow increasingly jokey and self-aware (but soft lil’ earnest boy always comes back eventually)

Will take all the trash and recycling out in one clean go, tucking shit between his bent elbows and under his chin; He’s not afraid of a challenge yes he can fucking do it by himself NO SHUT UP HE’S GOT IT

His partner hears the clang of soda cans falling on the pavement twelve seconds later

A Trader Joe’s BITCH

As much as he loves some sensory overload and a bajillion snack options, big supermarkets kinda overwhelm him

Also they’re always more expensive and this boy is a complainer (and if he can make his partner laugh while he’s dramatically whining, even better)

Literally the man who ACTIVELY LAUGHS at the names of products 

“A Blueberry WALKS Into A Bar? Do you get that? BAR? Oh, that’s goddamn hilarious.”

And then will laugh for a good minute in the aisle; fuck the old people side-eyeing him from the dairy section 

Overbuys groceries rather than underbuys; there’s a lot of food he doesn’t realize has gone bad until it’s actively going into his mouth

Expect to be investing in a good broom, because he constantly needs one

Will open a bag of frozen peas from the wrong side and all of a sudden he’s spilling the entire thing onto the hardwood floor

He just hangs his head with a long, forlorn sigh

God fucking dammit

And huffs before power-walking to the closet

But at least he’s used to it; he’s got a broom in every place he can hide one now 

LOVES to cook, but that doesn’t mean he’s good at it

Probably just likes the theatrics: catch him in double oven mitts and a dozen hand towels at the ready and a novelty apron that says “spooned with love”, “rubs his own meat”, “mister good-lookin’ is cookin’”, or “license to grill”

King of wearing an apron and nothing else without telling; loves surprises and loves giving them almost as much; and will absolutely play coy about it (“I’m just baking out here!! What are you screaming about?”) 

Relatedly, loves stealing his partner’s shirts without telling, especially if they’re too small

“Baby tees are for big, strong babies like me.” “But you’re gonna stretch mine out!” “Heh-heh. Nice.”

Is a fucking sucker for any sort of gender role switch, but also can’t help the flutter in his heart when he sees his partner doing his laundry 

It’s the intimacy of another person touching his clothes and wanting them to be soft for him; loves if they have to reach kinda high to hang them up in his closet, too

Fucking loves to make love to his partner— and yes he loves the phrase “make love”, leave him alone— or hell, do anything to them while the washer is going on heavy duty wash cycle 

Somehow related, but is a hippie at the best of times. Women got off using washing machines before there was anything else and it’s a part of history and now they are too and isn’t it beautiful we’re not all so different isn’t life and history beautiful

Loves smoking weed once there’s a lengthy enough break with his partner, coughs and needs water every time (“nah, I don’t need it” — starts hacking to fucking death)

Loves a local mall trip: J Crew, Abercrombie & Fitch, and REI are his go-tos; he always needs an excuse to go out

“Jeez, is this what the kids are wearing these days?” in any store that isn’t those three

Every time there’s a big ad of a hot guy in a canoe or a girl smiling so hard it looks like her teeth are gonna pop out, he loves to outlandishly mimic their expression to make his partner laugh

Touchy, clingy, whiney 🥺; uses a body pillow and weighted blankets when he has to spend the night by himself

Needs to be the small spoon (at minimum) once a week, otherwise he gets sad and grumpy but isn't quite sure why

“Let’s get some new furniture.” “What? We have Ikea right next door! I can just make it!”

Drills a hole too big or loses the most important screw and has to go buy new furniture anyway 

Adores above all else impromptu massages: whether it’s on the couch or in the bedroom when he’s on his belly watching TV; moans more shamelessly during those than he even does during sex

Those massages often turn into him begging his partner to ride him… or he just fucking falls asleep

By the way, will fall asleep in any position or location you could possibly think of; a habit from his childhood when he didn't have a bed to sleep in

Snores and drools, but not loud or wet enough to be too annoying

2 in 1 shampoo. One bar of soap.

Unless of course he’s all out or… curious about what delicious-smelling shit his partner has; maybe it’s like the reverse of when a dog pees on something to claim it. Something like that.  

Get. him. flowers. His favorites are daffodils.

Really into helping out in his community: soup kitchen, pet shelters, planting trees or veggie seeds for community gardens— and then will abruptly stop because he’s tired and doesn’t feel like doing it anymore 

Until the next summer when he sporadically goes — “You know what we should do?!”

King of late-night karaoke bars (especially if he gets wasted and busts into a weepy song that totally kills the mood)

On the same note, a big musical theatre lover. Wine and dine him!

Loves a dog, wants a dog, needs a dog

Never fucking trains or reprimands the dog but whatcha gonna do

Gets both super shy and vulnerable and horny when he's actively referred to as a “husband” ; loves a good big business partner/house husband roleplay (whether horny or just a joke)

Please, oh god please, do shortform improv with him every time he starts doing a bit

Living with Nathan isn’t always easy, or frankly cheap, but is so fucking gentle and so fucking happy, that you can no longer imagine a world where your life was anything but 🌼💙🗺️

If you hurt him, OP (and Sully) are out for BLOOD.

how did u get all of that about ur ur solar return - went on one of those calculator sites but I guess I gotta interpret the dirt myself? 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

yessssssss you gotta do the interpreting yourself. unless u go to cafe astrology and pay $4.95 for a reading which isnt bad im considering ordering one myself just to double check my work.

but resources for diy solar returns:

first ofc is the chart itself. i use astro.com and then pull the natal + solar with houses chart in the extended chart selection option

best jumping off point from there is cafe astrology's interpreting solar returns page i like that it walks thru the first steps and it gives me a lot of terms to further research

the technique of solar returns by alexandre volguine 😏 pdf available free. another good step by step resource w quick interpetations....this book was written in like the 70s so its a bit more fatalistic than what we see today but still im enjoying working w it

for everything else i just see a placement and google it like the old days even tho google sucks ass now. but if u see a result from linda-goodman.com CLICK THAT SHIT. its basically a forum full of astrologers of varying experience and ive been getting anecdotes of solar return experiences from the different threads there!

[lowcountry-gothic]

After a couple of days processing Path of Vengeance, here are a few conclusions I’ve drawn from Phase II as a whole. If this is all we’re going to get of the Nihil’s backstory (and it may not be; Yoda’s return at the end of Midnight Horizon suggests he’s found some answers on his quest with Elder Tromak and that we might get to hear some of them), then I actually find the story of the Nameless pretty satisfying in how few answers it actually gives. As one of Star Wars’ few forays into the horror genre, the Nameless always felt terrifying and narratively effective in how little they’re described, and yet how viscerally they’re evoked. It feels fitting that we get just a glimpse of their home planet but no real explanation of how or why they do what they do.

That being said, I did find myself piecing together a theory of my own as I read the Planet X segments. The planet is described as so rich and lush with the Force that forests grow back in the span of a year when destroyed, minor wounds heal almost immediately, and even non-Force-sensitive people like Bokana or Shea Ganandra begin to display light Force aptitude. In such a place where the Force is literally overflowing, it makes sense that a creature like the Nameless could evolve to be able to simply drink the pure Living Force from other life forms without unduly affecting the ecosystem. It’s only when they’re removed from the planet do they cease to be a mere animal, becoming something sinister and terrifying, since their normally abundant sustenance is elsewhere so comparatively scarce. On Jedha and Dalna, the creatures are repeatedly described as appearing starved and even bony. This idea would also fit with the recent one-shot comic Quest of the Jedi, which describes the origin of the jewels embedded in the Rod of Seasons and the Rod of Daybreak. They were originally a single gem on Angcord, where its power gave the people of that world Force abilities but as a result ended up draining the planet of its ability to sustain life. The parallels between Angcord and Planet X seem clear, and the common theme seems to be imbalance. The idea that too much life, too much concentration of the Force, can lead to darkness. Far from being a paradise, as it’s initially described, Planet X feels sinister and unhealthy, overloaded with (almost hoarding?) energy and resources and as a result creating something actually hostile to life and to the Force.

I’m not 100% sure how I feel about this. It makes sense, if I’m reading the thematic content correctly, but it also seems to rely on a scarcity mindset rather than one of abundance, which I feel is philosophically wrong as well as inconsistent with the philosophy of the Jedi and of Star Wars as a whole. It also feels vagely dualistic. I don’t know. I feel like I still haven’t fully thought through all the implications, and I need more time to digest all of this. There might also be more coming in Phase III that could shed further light and context on the whole thing.

Finally, it was interesting how the origin of the Path engines (the puns! I love it) seem to be connected to all of this as well. We know from Phase I that the Paths come from Mari San Tekka, so it makes sense that they have a connection to the Force, and that the origin of such an unusual Force ability also stems from Planet X. Shea says she is “rewriting the known laws of hyperspace” as she makes the jump calculations to leave the planet, and we learn at the end that her real name, as well as her mother’s and potentially her baby’s, is Mari. This begs a lot of questions. If Shea is an alias, then it makes sense that Ganandra might be, too. We already know that the Nihil kept Mari alive far beyond the span of a normal human life, so it’s plausible that Shea Ganandra is really the Mari San Tekka we meet in Phase I. Or perhaps her daughter? Or even her mother? We don’t know, and the fact that this is left ambiguous is interesting.

Overall, I’m really satisfied with Phase II. I can’t decide if I like these stories and characters better than the ones of Phase I, or if it’s just that I’ve read them more recently. It’ll be interesting to get back to the time of Elzar, Avar, Bell, and Marchion when Phase III starts this fall.
