@redvsbluesecretsanta for @eyeaball!

they asked for something with donut, or with kai and caboose being friends, so i kinda melded those together into this, and then the rest of blue team wanted to participate…

the formatting for this was done using @sabotourist's chatlog formatting code! ty again so much raven for helping with troubleshooting! i know usually i like to put my writing both on here and on ao3 so ppl can choose where to read it but bc of the formatting this can only be read on ao3.

Angst mode time. Still not ever getting over how Eight never fully recovered from Imperial Intelligence's fall, and the short reunion in SoR with Keeper did nothing to alleviate that-- it made it worse. What conversation they had was awkward and stilted, and Eight had meekly resigned to the fact that Keeper did not value him as a person, despite this not being the least bit true from Keeper's side. But as you know, the mission came first. Shara came first. Once again, Eight set aside his own feelings and dwindling personhood to serve as a spy who now had no place beside the man he would've moved mountains just to be seen by, and for that, he only fell deeper into losing sight of who he was. For what little remained of Intelligence, Eight had died with its dissolution. No closure was afforded, only a painful silence and unsaid breadth between two men who could not bear to broach years of loyalty, who had deeply hurt one another and not even known the depths of the inflicted wounds.

Keeper left the way he came.

Then came the Eternal Empire. Five years meant nothing to Eight; it was a life he would not have lived regardless. Lana thought she saved him from the carbonite, but at most it was exhuming a corpse. Pulling him back from the dead to ask him one more time to bloody those hands. And Eight, loyal Eight, did his duty, neither differentiating friend nor foe in a galaxy that had abandoned him.

marc you've outdone yourself with wilson tits

now... do you think wilson would ever try to get payback? by biting back, specifically?

now, that sounds unwilsonlike. but i would not put it past wilson to intentionally get house drunk while remaining just a bit tipsy and doing the exact same to house just to see how he likes it. but like. months later.

HMM..... it might be unwilsonlike, but he does periodically stoop to house's level so...... !

i can see wilson intentionally leaving marks on house. he himself had only been a little bruised, and only really on his chest where it was easy to hide. wilson gets revenge by leaving a visible collar of hickeys around house's neck. it almost looks like someone tried to strangle him. sometimes wilson wants to.

house TRIES to turn it back on him at the hospital, telling anyone and everyone that the golden boy oncologist did that to him, but like the boy who cried wolf no one believes him. because house has said a hundred and ten thousand things under the sun to try to wreak havoc at ppth so the strongest -- and most common -- reaction he gets to it is an unimpressed look of someone who can not be convinced house is being honest. it drives him a little insane. or like, insaner.

Tallpaw, I'm gonna need you to be a little less relatable. I also have this urge to hold you and assure you that you're just a child, and these adults should not be so nasty to you like this TwT

two meters inside the baseline on a second serve return on break point in two consecutive matches and laughing at himself for even trying it as a tactic but winning the crucial point both times? Welcome to Sascha Bublik's world ;-)

In light of Brian Thompson being shot dead on my birthday (🎉🥳🎂) I'd like to share a personal story about UnitedHealthcare.

During the peak of COVID, my family all got sick. I couldn't be on my parents' insurance because they were both older and on Medicare. So, I had insurance through my University: UnitedHealthcare.

For some reason, rather than roll-over each year, I got a new plan each year that ended after May and didn't start until August, so I was uninsured for the summer months, but it was a weird situation that the university denied, and told us we were supposed to be insured year-round, it was messy.

Both of my parents went to the hospital, and I got sick too. I had to take care of my pets, and myself, and try to stay alive and keep my pets alive when I was so weak I could hardly move. When my parents came home, my condition got dramatically worse (I think my body knew it couldn't give out, because there was nobody to take care of me, so once my parents were okay, it completely crashed and failed.)

I started experiencing emergency symptoms. It was a bit hard to breathe, my chest hurt, and I was extremely delirious. I wanted to call my insurance to see if I was covered (this was during the summer) and I was connected to some nice person, probably making minimum wage, who told me with caution in her voice that my plan was expired. I had no active insurance, but she urged me to go to an emergency room. I remember saying something to the effect of "You just told me I don't have insurance, I can't go to the hospital, I can't afford it."

She sounded so genuinely worried and scared. I remember she said "You really don't sound good, you sound really sick, please call 9-1-1" and I think I just said "I can't afford it without insurance, don't worry, I think I'll be okay."

And she paused and said "I don't want to hang up the phone with you like this." And it sounded like she was holding back tears. And I don't remember what I said, I think that I would be okay, and I hung up.

I still think about her. I wonder if that phone call haunted her, or if she had dozens of calls like that a day. I wonder if she thinks about it at all, if she wonders if I died after she told me I didn't have insurance and therefore couldn't go to the hospital without incurring a tremendous financial burden. I wonder if she feels guilt or blame-- of course she shouldn't, it wouldn't have been her fault if anything had happened to me. Maybe it's self-centered to wonder if she thinks about it. I'm not the main character and it was just her job. But, still.

I think about how evil it was that we were put in that situation. Because offering year-long continuous coverage through the university plan would maybe cut into profits, maybe not benefit shareholders enough, maybe cut into Thompson's $10 million salary. While his minimum wage administrators have to feel afraid to hang up the phone, because on the other line someone might be dying, and they wouldn't know. While his patients hang up and decide to take their chances rather than put their family through that trauma.

This is UnitedHealthcare. This is Brian Thompson's legacy. This is why, understandably, an entire nation is jubilant that he was gunned down like the vermin he was. I don't care about his widow. I feel pity for his children, despite the fact that they will inherit millions, but I feel more pity for the children of his victims patients who are gone because they didn't want THEIR children to inherit crippling debt. Brian Thompson got what he fucking deserved. I pray that he not be the only one. I pray for continued safety, peace , and anonymity for his killer.

American healthcare is a disease.
