#sod being a brOTP!

[queensectonia]

Dark Nebula?

ohoho, our neb's a popular guy, he got an ask from you and an anon!

1: sexuality headcanon: he's kind of vaguely pan like all Dark Matter - specifically, all independent Dark Matter. only the independents and 02 have enough of a mind of their own to actually have orientations in the first place, and even then, relationships are about the furthest thing from any Dark Matter's first priority. in a similar vein, all Dark Matter are totally genderless and tend to just use the pronouns that get assigned to them by the few people they do interact with. Neb uses he/him but with absolutely no degree of stringency. he'd answer to neuter pronouns, and feminine pronouns too, but he'd give you weird looks about it.

2: otp: I wouldn't call it an OTP, but my Neb rather unintentionally ends up with Daroach because one day Daroach decided he was fond of Neb and that was that. possessor/possessee ships are just fun okay and this one's canon listen i have the documents

3: brotp: none in the canon because Neb has no actual character in the canon, but in my 'verse he's Mad Bros with Magolor, largely because Magolor was his first ever real friend and Magolor will always love him a new Dark Matter friend :D

4: notp: can't say I have one!

5: first headcanon that pops into my head: more of a fun fact than a headcanon, but Neb is tied second for gijinka of mine that has the most different forms designed, at four (base form, then one for each three elements).

(kirby doesn't fuckin count for this category okay. outliers georg)

6: favorite line from this character: no canon dialogue club represent :'(

7: one way in which I relate to this character: in my headcanon he hates being talked down to and infantilised which is kind of just... something most people find aggravating I imagine gfdhjlkfd

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: his... everything... he's not the most respectable kirby character out there let alone final boss (poor sod) (i love him so)

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?: if he HAD any character to be problematic WITH he'd be a problematic fave all the way down in canon

[tunglo]

For the character ask: if no ones asked yet, qui-gon?

Thank you! I feel like I should put a content warning that while I think Qui-Gon's a great character, I'm in this fandom to bash him...

Why I like them - Qui-Gon's chief role in my fandom world is to make Obi-Wan suffer. And he's exceptional at it! Obi-Wan is so self-critical and nervous and desperate to please as a kid, and in return Qui-Gon just amplifies those destructive traits until they consume him. The pièce de résistance is when he leaves a just-turned-13 Obi-Wan in the middle of an active war zone on Melida/Daan, doesn't bother to tell anyone, then just lounges about watching other kids train at the Temple and wondering if Bruck Chun would like to be his new Padawan. At 25 Obi-Wan is still a stuttering mess who believes he's nowhere ready for Knighthood. That's all Qui-Gon's work.

Why I don’t - sometimes the suffering is all too real. And his obsession with the super powerful special boys.

Favorite episode (scene if movie) - TPM, of course! The end fight / death scene was so cool, like cool enough to make up for having had to sit relatively quietly through all the rest of TPM.

Favorite season/movie - TPM and Jedi Apprentice.

Favourite line - “You would have died for me,” Qui-Gon said. “Your courage is extraordinary, even for a Jedi. I would be honored to accept you as my Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi.” (Jedi Apprentice: Dark Rival)

What better way to start than by setting the expectation bar as high as 'I didn't give a toss before, but I've reconsidered now you've proven willing to literally die for me.'

Favourite outfit - this was an, er, look:

OTP - Qui-Gon/Tahl. I think they could have been really good for each other if she'd lived and they'd left the Order.

Brotp - Qui-Gon & Jar-Jar.

Head Canon - Even the river stone wasn't unique to Obi-Wan. He's definitely the only poor sod who got it for his 13th birthday, but Qui-Gon totally gave one to Feemor and Xanatos too. Maybe even other promising boys he took a shine to.

Unpopular opinion - that wasn't Qui-Gon at the end of OWK. Obi-Wan's just lost what was left of his mind.

A wish - I wanna know what Xanatos was telling Granta Omega. Why did he hate Obi-Wan so much? Why was he always so convinced Qui-Gon was looking to replace him? There is a lot of very dark fanfic to be written...

"Do you think he’s worried about you?” Omega barked a laugh. “What you don’t know about your Master could fill your precious archives. Kenobi doesn’t have a heart. Beings are just a means to get what he needs to be - the great Jedi in his own mind.”

Anakin suddenly grasped a feeling that had floated in his mind, something he could not put words to. Now it formed into a belief.

"This is personal for you, isn’t it?" he accused Omega. "You hate Obi- Wan."

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen - I don't want Qui-Gon to be too redeemed in any given SW thing. I enjoy casting him as the 'villain' too much!

5 words to best describe them - serene, arrogant, aloof, removed, unconventional.

My nickname for them - I don't have one :(

Title: More Like Family

Author: cheesyficwriter

Pairing: Ron/Harry brotp

Prompt: Brother from another mother

Rating: T

Trigger Warnings: None

More Like Family

The blistering heat of the summer scorches my pale skin, drenching the jet black fringe stuck to the ever-present scar on my forehead. My glasses slip to the tip of my nose from the droplets of sweat invading my skin, and I fight to keep them in the proper position. 

The verdant hills just beyond the Burrow shine like emeralds, matching the clear, blue sky. It’s one of those rare, perfect days. Summer is not my favorite season, but moments like these are my favorite. 

I lay down in the cool, overgrown grass and close my eyes. I've never been more relaxed than I am right now, in the only place I can call home outside of Hogwarts. 

Meeting Ron on the train to school for the first time provided me with a family I didn’t have the opportunity to grow up with. We clicked straight away, and Ron soon became the one constant in my life, along with Hermione, that I could count on. 

I spent most of my first eleven years alone, with no one to talk to who cared. Before I knew it, Ron came along, and I had someone to share my secrets with. I had someone who provided me with a breadth of wizarding knowledge when I had none. 

We were just kids, heading on the train to Hogwarts, unaware of what was ahead for us. Our innocent bond was formed simply from us being in the right place at the right time, having nowhere else to sit but in a tiny compartment with each other.  

Our friendship was pretty much unspoken after that initial meeting, and I never had to ask Ron twice, or once even, to join me on the many spontaneous adventures that followed. I trust him more than anyone to always have my back 一 to support me and my wildest ideas without judgment.

We’ve endured many hardships together, but I can’t, nor want, to imagine going through all this shit without him. 

My thoughts are interrupted when I feel little droplets of cold water sprinkling over my body and the burn of the sun disappearing as if there is a silhouette hovering over my face. Squinting one eye open, I find said ginger-haired best friend peering down at me with a mischievous smirk.  

That annoying twat. 

“Enjoying a kip, sunshine?” Ron teases, and I swat him away with a kick of my foot. 

The sodding git chuckles before plopping down in the grass next to me. I sit up and fold my elbows over my knees. From this view, I can see and hear Hermione and Ginny squealing as they take turns splashing each other in the swimming hole.  

We have only one week left until we head back to Hogwarts for our sixth year, and my stomach churns with uncertainty over the future. 

As if Ron can read my mind, he fills the silence. “You nervous about going back?”

I attempt to swallow the dry lump in my throat. Some of the worst moments of my life happened at the end of fifth year, and it wasn’t easy to think about trying to go on with life while he is still out there. 

"I think this school year will look a little different." 

Ron scoffs. "Do you ever think there will be a time that we're not fighting for our lives?" 

I bump my shoulder with Ron’s. "What? This isn't how normal teenagers spend their school years?" 

Ron gives me a hearty shove. "You speckle-eyed prat." 

I manage the smallest of smiles before returning my attention to the girls, who are now floating on their backs in the shallow pool. 

"By the way, whatever you're planning, I have no qualms about going against the rules.” Ron takes a deep breath. “Just 一 don’t try to do it all by yourself, mate.”

“I wasn't-"

My rebuttal is thwarted by the pointed look Ron sends my way. 

"I'll try," I offer instead. 

"You know I'm always right by your side, no questions asked, right?" Ron insists. 

Don't have to ask him once. 

I manage a small nod of appreciation, and he mirrors my stance, a wave of mutual understanding flowing between us. 

We bump knuckles together, a symbol of brotherhood that solidifies the deep-rooted respect and admiration we have for each other. 

A strangled noise comes out of Ron's mouth, and I follow his gaze towards Hermione, who emerges from the water in search of her towel. 

"What are you looking at?" I probe, my eyebrows raising with amusement.  

Before Ron can respond, my eyes land on Ginny, and I feel my cheeks grow hot as I get a glimpse of her deep blue two-piece swimsuit. I break my stare in haste, finding Ron's eyes narrowing as he glances back and forth between me and Ginny. 

"What are you looking at?" 

“N-nothing.” I’m quick to reply, hoping that he didn't just catch me checking out 一 is that really what I should call it? 一 his little sister.  

Lucky for me, Ron seems to not notice, or care, about my flustered state as he's too busy tracking Hermione as she skips towards us up the hill, followed by Ginny. 

I decide to save Ron from embarrassment if he were to be caught gawking, so I shove him down into the grass before leaping to my feet and taking off down the hill. 

"First one to the bottom gets dibs on your mum's cooking!" 

I high five Ginny as I run past the girls, a spark of electricity bursting at the tip of my fingertips.

"Oh, you're on, Potter!" I hear Ron's boisterous laughter from close behind me, and I know his long, lanky legs will soon catch up.

For a brief few hours, we are just teenagers, living a normal life, stealing away the last fleeting moments of summer. The best times are the little moments in between like this, where we’re doing hardly anything at all. 

True best friends don't come around every day, and my best friend feels more like family.

[adenei]

could you do one where like someone asks Ron why he’s carrying along with lavender and he like shrugs and is like mate she’s the only person who thinks I’m worth a crap and Hermione hears or something???? Idk but I love your writing so much 💞💞💞

Hi anon, thanks for the ask! So glad you love the stories :D I give you 6th year Romione angst with some brotp rarry fluff!

******************************

Over Her

Ron was sitting in the library with Harry. They’d chosen a table in the back that was tucked behind several rows of bookshelves. “Why’d you choose this one, mate?” Harry asked. “Don’t we normally sit towards the exit?”

“Oh, er, wanted a change of scenery, I guess," Ron said as he tried to shrug Harry’s question off.

“No offense, but you’re my best friend, and I know when you’re lying. Who are you hiding from? Hermione or Lavender?” Harry eyed him.

“Since when do you notice anything that's not what Malfoy is or isn’t up to?" Ron shot back in a hushed voice.

“Oh, sod off and answer my question,” Harry said, feigning annoyance.

“Lavender,” Ron said.

“Trouble in paradise?” Harry asked.

Ron shrugged. “I mean, the snogging’s been nice, but she’s just not that interesting to talk to.”

“You’ve been together a couple months and are just now realizing you’re not interested in her as a person?”

“No! I’m not saying that. She’s nice and all...just as a friend.” Ron was staring at his parchment, thinking. Then, as if registering what Harry really said a minute too late, he said, “Didn’t you dance around Cho for the better part of a year before you realized she wasn’t everything you cracked her up to be?”

Harry waved him off. “We’re not focusing on me here. If you’re not happy with Lavender, then why are you still carrying on with her?”

“Dunno.” Ron thought for a moment. “I guess she’s the only one who’s ever expressed interest in me, and thinks I’m worth a damn…” His ears turned red as if he was embarrassed to admit it. 

They heard a book fall from behind the nearest bookshelf. Ron’s back was to the bookshelf, but when Harry looked up, he thought he noticed someone familiar through the shelves. Nah, it couldn’t be, he thought to himself.

“Well, you shouldn’t string her along if you don’t fancy her anymore,” Harry said matter of factly.

“That’s easy for you to say, mate! Have you ever broken it off with a girl before?”

“Well...no, but you better figure something out soon. Isn’t Valentine’s Day coming up?”

Ron groaned. “Don’t remind me. I’ve got nothing to give her. What am I supposed to do!” 

“Take a puking pastille and fake ill. Stay in bed all day,” Harry suggested.

“Ooh, that’s bloody brilliant! Thanks, mate!” Ron said excitedly.

They both settled into their work. A few minutes had passed, but something was bothering Harry about what Ron had said. ‘Nobody giving a damn’. “You know it’s not true, right mate?” he said.

“What’s not true?” Ron said with a confused look on his face.

“That she’s the only one who thinks you're worth a damn.”

“Oh, er, thanks mate, but I don’t swing that way,” Ron joked.

Harry burst out laughing, and had to stifle his laughter before Madam Pince came prowling at the disturbance. If only Ron knew which Weasley actually got him going. He shook the thought of Ginny from his mind. “That’s fair, I guess, but I wasn’t just talking about me.”

“Who, then?” Ron asked.

Harry shot him an ���as if you don’t know’ look before saying, “Nevermind. Promised myself I wouldn’t get involved.”

“You don’t mean…nah, she hates me.”

“It’s not too late you know.”

“It doesn’t matter…won’t change anything. She made herself clear,” Ron said dejectedly.

Harry sighed and rolled his eyes. Someday, maybe his two best friends would stop being idiots when it came to each other. But for now, he was stuck in the middle, hoping that at the very least their friendship could be reconciled.

**********************

Harry hadn’t just seen something on the other side of the bookshelf. Hermione was indeed lingering, looking for a particular book on Arithmancy when she heard two familiar voices talking. As much as she tried to make herself walk away, she’d stayed rooted to the spot. She almost gave herself away when she’d dropped the book because she was startled by Ron’s words. 

Does he really think I don’t care about him, or that he’s worth nothing? He’s completely mental!

His words had rocked her. She kept on listening to their conversation, and hovered even when she thought they were done. Thank goodness she had. Maybe, just maybe, not all hope was lost. If she ever got another chance at friendship again, she vowed not to ruin it, and to be more obvious about how wonderful she thought he was. She made her way back to her table with a newfound hope that they may just find a way through this.

Marluxia:Favourite thing: the aesthetique. pink hair? rose petals everywhere? giant-ass scythe? bitchLeast favourite thing: he’s kinda… flat, most of the time? it’s probably just bc he’s surrounded by large hams but he always seems a little dry and understated compared to the rest of the orgFavourite line: honestly the only thing that’s coming to mind is “you always suffered from sleepy bitch disease” and he didn’t even say thatbrOTP: larxene and marluxia, ride and die gay bitchesOTP: honestly also larxene but they’re both women. after they recomplete they get a shitty flat together and one night lauriam is like “erlena…. do you think…. maybe I could be a woman too” and erlena’s like “FINALLY, I called this shit from the second I saw your pink skinny jeans, of course you can babe” and she transitions and they fall in lesbians with each other (larxene is also trans in this scenario ofc)nOTP: ok I have seen very bad marluxia ships but it’s like. I don’t want to talk about them. Random headcanon: the only org member who dyes their hair. natural strawberry blondeUnpopular opinion: strelitzia should have been erlena’s sister, not hisSong: ok I thought I didn’t have one and then I was like “there’s gotta be a florence song for him” and lo and behold here’s lauriam waking up from dandelion stasis and casting away his heart to stop caring about strelitzia

Favourite picture: the sketch of him in the rg guard uniform here

Ansem the Wise:Favourite thing: he, uh. he triedLeast favourite thing: look he was just SO shitty to namine like unreasonably so… she was gonna do that stuff anyway! she doesn’t need you being mean at her while she’s at it!!Favourite line: “Xehanort.

You have surpassed nothing—only proved how little we both know.” is pretty fuckin raw actually brOTP: uh. does ansem have friends? mickey I guess?OTP: it’s NOT a good ship but I do have a weak spot for ansem/evennOTP: look. pretty much everyone else. he is not a shippable man.Random headcanon: he wasn’t always as overtly cruel as DiZ, but he definitely always had a results-over-individuals attitude that didn’t exactly make it difficult for his apprentices to be swayed against himUnpopular opinion: look. despite what it seems, I think he does get a little bit of an excessively bad rap in the fandom. yeah he was awful to namine and roxas and riku but he does put in a fair bit of effort to redeem himself so even if I don’t think he’s great I don’t actually hate himSong: this is an even/ansem song mostly (there’s a florence for every occasion!!)

Favourite picture: this comic is a classic

Ansem Seeker of Darkness:Favourite thing: tiddies no I actually really love his character arc? like I do read a lot into it but we stan a depressed kingLeast favourite thing: this is an absolute nitpick but I’m so salty he was in a black coat for most of 3Favourite line: “There is more to seek… so go forth now and seek it.”brOTP: rould in the kh3 au fic I haven’t written beyond a tiny chunkOTP: I’ve been converted to xigsem well and trulynOTP: uhhhh I feel like xemnas/ansem should be sexy in a gross way but I just don’t feel it personallyRandom headcanon: his shot at getting kingdom hearts for himself in kh1 was, at least in part, an attempt at escaping his connection to xehanortUnpopular opinion: he’s more interesting than xemnasSong: this is pretty weak bc I didn’t have any in mind already so it’s just the first thing in my library that gave me vaguely the right vibes

Favourite picture: see here

One word prompts for sherlolly (and Mary + Molly brotp?): Trust

Ooh, lovely! Thanks for the prompt, and for adding a layer of brotp! So, in this little AU, we’re in the midst of TFP, with Mary having survived being shot. Because she deserved better, dammit!

“The flowers are lovely, Molly,” said a weak and exhausted Mary. Her wound was healing, and her doctors advised her she would make a full recovery, but it was slow going. Every movement was painful, and took a lot out of her. But she did her best to conceal that. Especially now, when Molly so obviously needed a friend to listen.

Molly gave a half-hearted smile, tugging on her brightly-colored, striped jumper. One of Mary’s favorites of hers. “I’m glad you like them.”

“I do,” she nodded. “But that’s not why you’re here.” Molly glanced up in surprise, and Mary grinned. “It doesn’t take a Holmes to see you’re upset.”

She flinched. “Well… yes.”

Mary stretched out a hand, inviting Molly to take it, which she did immediately. “Tell me everything.”

By the time Molly had finished recounting events, both women had tears in their eyes. Mary, who was somewhat aware of what the boys were up to, quickly filled Molly in on what she knew. It wasn’t much, just enough to let Molly know that they were facing yet another Holmes sibling, this one smarter and far more deranged than the other two. Mary worried about the lack of communication from John, but somehow, she knew it would work out.

Molly, on the other hand, was close to having a fit. She was understandably angry with Sherlock, but was also afraid she might have lost him.

“I should have paid attention,” she lamented. “He sounded so… terrified. But I was too angry and hurt to care. He asked me to trust him, and I didn’t.” Her face crumpled as more tears forced their way out. “I thought I was better than that.”

“Listen to me, Molly Hooper,” Mary said as firmly as she could. “You are without a doubt one of the best people I know. There aren’t many people I know I can trust completely, but you’ve been at the top of that list since I met you. And the same goes for Sherlock.” She paused, taking a shaky breath. “You know as well as anyone that he doesn’t trust easily. But he trusts you.”

Molly nodded. “Yeah. He’s said as much. Said he always has.” She looked down at her hands. “Probably won’t anymore.”

“Oh, rubbish,” Mary scoffed. “It’ll take more than that to shake him off. Poor sod may not realize it yet, but he needs you. And he loves you.”

She shook her head emphatically. “No. He just said it so that I would.”

Mary gave her a little smirk. “I wouldn’t be so sure. Didn’t you say he said it twice?” Molly nodded. “Why is that, I wonder? Wouldn’t once have been enough? At that point, he’d already done what you asked. Why would he say it again… unless he really meant it?”

Molly swallowed hard, her eyes darting back and forth. Taking pity on her, and also feeling much too tired to continue the conversation, Mary gave her hand a quick squeeze, before loosening her grip and settling back against the pillow. “Maybe,” she said, her eyes fluttering shut, “it’s time you trust him as much as he trusts you.”

[notajoinerofthings]

are you still wanting characters for that ask box meme? if so, then of course i say james hathaway! :)

omg yes thank you!! you know i’m always ready and willing to talk about the love of my life 😍

do I like them: not at all, in fact i think i hate him

5 good qualities:

his unwavering loyalty

his dedication (to lewis, his job, his music, his faith, …), even (or especially) when he feels conflicted about these things

his kindness and compassion

his nerdiness, being an unapologetic clever clogs (i especially love how he reacts to all those people commenting on how he is a rather unusual policeman. most of the time he’s like “excuse me, i am the only person in this room who is allowed to question my career choices and i do it 24/7, so that’s more than enough” i think lewis really helped him with that, basically teaching him to embrace his differentness, to accept his flaws, and to recognise his contributions and what he can bring to the job as valid and valuable)

he does not let the unfortunate shape of his face stop him from making the best faces on the whole show

3 bad qualities:

hides behind his sarcasm far too often

self-care is a foreign concept for him and most of the time he doesn’t even understand the basics of self-preservation

takes catholic guilt to the next level and constantly suffers from existential flu (is this even a bad quality, idek, it’s just makes him hella relatable imho)

favourite episode/etc: wild justice (this episode has everything, awesome women challenging the old misogynistic traditions of the church and academia, a beautiful chapel, a lot of literary and theological references, some emotional lewis/hathaway scenes, and last but not least the continuous discussion about misplaced apostrophes)

otp: robbie lewis/james hathaway

brotp: jean innocent & james hathaway

ot3: none

notp: james hathaway/unhappiness

best quote: i just love the conversation at the end of wild justice: “that’s not what i’m saying. what i’m say saying is, if you go, i go. who else would understand me?” that line alone always makes me choke up and even though he tries to play it down with one of his sarcastic smirks, i think robbie is well aware that james just revealed something big and important to him, so he tries to make it less awkward for his awkward sod by changing the topic and talking about the sunset: “look at that. what do you need god for when we’ve got that?” to which his favourite god-botherer has, of course, a most suitable reply: “god is in everything. do you know what st thomas aquinas said?” — “was it ‘same again, please’?” — “near enough.” I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH UGH

head canon: james hathaway is the most useless biromantic demisexual detective in the history of television haha (i also really want to watch that au in which he actually becomes a priest but still ends up solving murders with lewis. crossover with grantchester, anyone??)

Grantaire okay :D

Thank you! XD

Grantaire:

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life | Complicated feelings do not fit well on your linear scale.  I ditched linear thinking and went to pick apples instead. XD hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would banghogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

He skipped classes at Beauxbatons too, probs. XD

best quality:  His genuine willingness to stick with his friends through it all… despite the fact that he really doesn’t believe in anything they’re doing and is putting himself in danger by associating with them he keeps coming to meetings?  And hanging out with them?  Even when they’re probably loaded with so much contraband gunpowder that the PoPo can smell them a mile away?  He’s also pretty respectful of their choice?  Like he does grumble a lot, but he never gets patronizing about it or acts like he has to “fix” them.worst quality:  Inability to asses and be honest with himself about his own limits.  Like if he had just said “I don’t think I can talk politics with some people atm, I’m just at the level of playing dominoes right now” that actually would have been better in some ways.  There is a possibility they could have found someone else.  But instead he tends to fluctuate and half-ass things when it matters.  He’s so damn torn.  Otoh, in less tense situations, being able to try and half-ass things is important to learning.  Just not in the middle of a revolutionary powderkeg of a city. :(ship them with: Enjolras, but he’s gonna have to accept that he’s in a triad with all of France and be ok with that.  Also Grantaire/better ways to handle things!brotp them with: Joly! Bossuet!  Floreal!  Wanderings and adventures for everyone!needs to stay away from: Definitely the Houcheluop women when he’s drunk.misc. thoughts: It seems like a lot of people like to get into how privileged Grantaire is (and then get into fights about it).  And talk about how his inaction is because everything is ok for him.  Which I think is kind of missing the point?  The one thing we see most is that he’s constantly buried in a bottle - he’s not happy!?!  The world generally sucks at the moment and he’s very aware that the course that his friends are on now is likely to lead to them being either injured or dead.  This is not to say that the rest of the Amis are *Not* aware of this,  they very much are… but they’ve found ways to accept that risk.  But Grantaire can’t.  Which I think is in part because he’s as personally-focused and Enjolras is (certainly not impersonal! what’s a better word?) wide-scale-focused.  He only sees people as individuals.  As single people that he interacts with (and cares for) independently.  He honestly can’t think of anything that would be worth the ending of the life of Bossuet, or Joly, or any of them. 

I think that listening to the rest of the Amis changes both Enjolras and Grantaire before the barricade, and finally allow them to accept eachother.  The other seven act as a bridge between their two extremes.  And by the end, Grantaire can accept the need for societal solidarity and Enjolras, personal love.  The societal and the personal can join hands.

And there, I think might lie the answer to the dilemma of Ma’am Houcheloup/The Arab Woman.  But they reach that point minutes before their deaths, and that puzzle is left for the rest of us poor sods to figure out.
