I can just imagine baby Sol (maybe 5 or 6) being so tired from how anxious she is and how stressed she is and her mum and dad have left her with Ingrid for the afternoon and Sol just feels so safe that she becomes so sleepy and really quietly whispers that she wishes Ingrid was her mama and Ingrid hears and is kinda confused
Time skip to Sol being maybe 10/11 and she’s been left with Ingrid for the day and she again ends up feeling so safe and at peace that she ends up falling asleep on Ingrid but again she says she wishes Ingrid was her mum
Time skip again to 18yr old Sol and she’s with Mapí and Ingrid and she’s finally not in a state of fight or flight and she just melts into both of them on the sofa and is like “wish u guys were my real parents” as she’s half asleep
Ingrid cries every time
took me a few days to reply to this because i was busy SOBBING OVER IT.
this hurt my feelings in the best way

You should tell me more about Asuka. Literally anything. I’m kind of obsessing over him right now and I need to know EVERYTHING. sorry. I’m going crazy right now and I love Asuka so much
Anything Anything? Asuka and Asuka-Related Fun Facts: 1. RK's color palette (02) matches with Raven, except with the places and overall prominence of black and white being opposite between them. They even both have a coin in one eye. Asuka in his right, Raven in his left. This means that between the two they make up one dead man and one alive man. 2. In Vastedge, the Tome of Origin had blood red pages. They absolutely should have kept this it was sick as hell. 3. Also in Vastedge, the folds in the front of his robes resemble stacked pages of a closed book. There's a concept art of him opening himself up, confirming that he has been fused with the Tome for a long time.
Tumblr media
4. I-no's recurring black wings (i.e, in her super) alongside Raven might be a reference to the two information-collecting ravens of Odin, Huggin (~mind) and Muninn (~will). Odin is often depicted with one eye and is associated with a number of concepts, notably including death, knowledge, wisdom, frenzy, and sorcery. 5. The only time he implies any actual aggression toward someone (as in, wanting to hurt them just to hurt them and not because he feels has to) is against Anji, implied by the following battle intro in Strive: Anji: "No agreement necessary, right?" Asuka: "No, but you'll wish we had one." 6. While he certainly does care about the opinions of those he likes, like Sol, he's especially sensitive to the opinion of Jack'O. See the round win line "Please don't be mad at me!" and the battle intro: Jack'O: "Trick or... Oh, hey Asuka!" Asuka: "Are my tricks or treats not good enough for you? That's... kind of sad."
7. Related to the previous point, Asuka also describes his separation with Raven as "kind of sad". The implication is that when something is kind of sad, this actually means he is suffering a million internal deaths. 8. I have heard that buckwheat noodles (re: Asuka's hobby of making them via rube-goldberg machine) are a stereotypical old-man food in Japan. 9. In Accent Core, he instructs Anji to tell I-no that there are no second chances. In the same game, he also tells Slayer the he can never change. However, after Raven tells Asuka that Anji is not someone who can be trusted, Asuka replies: "Watch what you say, Raven. To survive... people always improve. Humanity keeps on living, even if it goes against God... The fact that you are standing here is only further proof of their tenacity". This implies that he considers himself to be something closer to I-no than Anji or Raven. That is to say, not human. Considering his actions and, more literally, the fact that he is literally fused with the source code of the Universe, this is an understandable position. 10. Going off of his model and concept art for Strive, it seems that he is mostly legs. He has a similar leg:torso ratio as Jack'O. 11. There's something wrong with him. Also, his English VA in Overture would go on to voice Bedman in Xrd.

Special OS : Phantom Thread // My mother is my enemy
Tumblr media
[Episodes 13] Here I am, here I remain.
"Run away with me."
You aren't particularly surprised to find Yord standing at your doorstep in the early evening; however, his sudden plea still manages to catch you off guard.
Yord is still panting, one hand gripping the doorframe tightly. His face glistens with sweat dripping from his forehead, a sign of how hard he must have pushed himself to rush here. His wide eyes looking at you reflect a whirlwind of emotions—anxiety, concern, and anger.
"You don't have to do this," Yord says, his voice serious as he continues when you remain silent. "Those plans are complete nonsense! How desperate do they have to be to drag you into such madness?"
Ah, so he knows everything, you think to yourself, assuming it was likely Jackie or Sol who told him.
The plan Yord refers to is Sol’s secret scheme, a final attempt after repeated failures to capture the new Sith Lord. It involves using you as both bait and a means to force Qimir into revealing himself.
Qimir is an unparalleled assassin known for his perfection, having never left any evidence or shown any vulnerability that could lead to his capture. The Jedi call him ‘The Stranger,’ a faceless phantom, an identity-less shadow. No one knows who he is, when he will appear, or who his next victim will be.
Until now, only you and Sol know about Qimir's past, but even that hasn’t helped solve the case. All records of his time as a Padawan were erased long ago, and Vernestra, who could have confirmed everything, is dead.
The final solution comes down to you. Your visions and the deep connection you share with Qimir are the only keys Sol believes can stop him.
You remember when Sol came to you personally to discuss the plan. You sensed the weight of his desperation and the pressure he was under to make this choice, despite the warnings you had already given him.
In your vision, Sol wasn’t even a match for Qimir. The chances of him throwing his life away in this plan were dangerously high.
Yet, despite knowing this, Sol remained determined.
"Perhaps this is the only way I can atone for what I did at Brendok," he told you in a calm voice, his eyes reflecting his weariness. "We all have sins to repay and fates we cannot escape. Let me face mine as a Jedi."
His words took root in your heart. You knew that fate wasn't just pursuing Sol—it was after you as well.
Your thoughts return to the present. You turn away, unable to meet Yord’s eyes. "It’s impossible," you finally reply, trying to keep your voice steady, but the words come out in a trembling whisper. "You're a Jedi Knight, Yord. You can't throw everything away for me."
"Fuck the Jedi and the Sith! They don’t even care if you live or die!"
You flinch. You’ve never seen Yord explode with such rage before.
Noticing your reaction, Yord realizes he's let his emotions spiral out of control. He wipes a hand over his face, taking a deep breath to calm the fury still simmering within.
“Please, I’m begging you... just come with me,” his tone softens, shifting from anger to a plea. “There’s still time for us to run. I’ll make sure no one finds you. You’ll be safe with me. I swear.”
Yord grips your hand tightly, and you can feel the tremor in his hold. The Bene Gesserit training tells you immediately what’s behind it—he’s afraid. But afraid of what?
“This has nothing to do with you, Yord,” you say, feeling a pang of sympathy but not knowing how to comfort him. “But I’ve seen clearly… it’s impossible.”
You know that facing Qimir again is inevitable. Even if you fled with Yord now, it would only delay the inevitable. Eventually, Qimir will find you, and this path would lead Yord to a cruel, tragic end—something you would never allow to happen to your only living relative.
“But I’ve seen it too!” Yord blurts, still refusing to accept your decision. “I dreamt of you... of your death, at his hands. I won’t let that happen.” 
His words don’t surprise you. Instead, you offer him a soft smile. The bond inherited from Paul Atreides stirs within your heart, prompting you to instinctively caress his cheek with loving concern.
"You may have just seen it for the first time, but I've seen it a thousand times," you say, weariness lacing your voice.
You’ve seen every choice, every possible outcome, and every death of your own—both in dreams and while awake. It feels as if you’ve lived through countless deaths, and the fear you once held has long faded into numb acceptance.
This is the torment of one doomed to see everything—a suffering no ordinary person could ever understand or endure.
"But death isn't the only path," you continue. "There are still many futures that can be changed, even if just slightly. But even a slight change can make all the difference. That's why I have to follow this plan."
"Then I’m coming with you," Yord insists.
You study the determination in his eyes under the temple’s dim light, realizing just how serious he is. "Yord, I’m not sure if..."
“You can’t stop me,” he interrupts, cutting you off as if he already knows what you’re thinking. “If you won’t go with me, then I’ll go with you.”
You want to argue, but you choose silence instead. You don't want him to come, yet you know that trying to stop him would be futile. Yord will do anything to stay by your side, to make sure you’re safe from every danger—even if it costs him his life.
And deep down, you know you’d do the same for him.
In that moment, both of you feel an unbreakable bond woven from a shared consciousness through the memories of your ancestors. The sibling love between Paul and Alia from the past intermingles with your own memories, merging into a blood bond that binds you both to your very souls.
Every path of fate and coincidence has intertwined to lead to this moment, where the last remnants of the Atreides bloodline stand before each other, waiting to take the final step toward the end of everything, together.
You press your lips tightly, your heart trembling with emotions too complex to name. Finally, you throw yourself into his arms. “I love you,” you whisper before pulling away.
Your unexpected action catches Yord off guard. He looks at you in surprise, noticing the silent fear in your eyes—the fear you refuse to voice and the fear he chooses not to ask about.
"I love you too," Yord replies, entwining his fingers with yours. In that instant, he feels as if the past and future have collapsed into one, compressing and enveloping both of you. His mind suddenly understands, without the need for explanation, that fate has already changed its course.
And though Yord can’t see visions as clearly as you do, he can still feel it…
...feel that this might be the last time he will ever see your face.
Tumblr media
Eiram
Most of this planet is covered by vast oceans, with only a few forests deep within the islands. Scattered remnants of past disasters still litter the landscape—derelict houses crumbled by violent storms, massive trees left in unnatural positions, and the decaying remains of the Starlight Beacon, now completely covered in moss.
The ship lands silently on the beach of a deserted island. The ocean stretches behind them, dense forest lies ahead. It is peaceful and beautiful—an ideal spot for a tourist destination. Yet, Yord can’t shake the unease that gripped him the moment they arrived. Something feels wrong, but he can’t put his finger on why.
Yord tells himself it’s just the stress of the mission, but deep down, he knows it’s more. He’s sure you sense it too—the worry on your face confirms it.
“Are you all right?” Yord asks, his voice full of concern as he notices you dabbing a handkerchief to your bleeding nose.
He’s only recently learned that this always happens when you use your visions. You’ve told him it’s the price of defying nature—that each time you dive into heightened awareness, you pay the toll with your body. Yord feels sympathy for you, but there’s nothing he can do. He doesn’t have the power you do, and he has no idea how to ease the pain you endure.
“Not great, but I’ll manage,” you reply, your voice unusually cold as you nod at him. “Let’s keep going. We have a lot to deal with.”
Your gaze is steady as you look toward the wild forest ahead, the place where you told the Jedi The Stranger was hiding.
At that moment, Yord doesn’t catch the underlying meaning in your words or actions.
He doesn’t realize... until after it has already happened.
Tumblr media
Why?
This thought races in Yord’s mind during his final moments of consciousness. His body slumps against a tree, completely immobile. Pain radiates in his head and back, and his vision slowly darkens. Yet he can still see you clearly. You stand above him with an expressionless face, holding the stun blaster—the very one he gave you for protection. It’s the same weapon you just used to shoot him from behind.
He furrows his brow, desperately trying to understand what just happened. What mistake led him to this situation?
His recent memories flash back to when the Jedi group, led by Sol and Jackie, ventured into the forest on your guidance. Yord had chosen to stay behind with you, ensuring your safety in case anything went wrong.
But they had unknowingly walked into the trap of a Sith Lord. None of them had suspected they were being watched the entire time—until the attack came suddenly when a tall man in a dark cloak lunged at them with a red lightsaber in hand. Though the man’s face was concealed beneath a strange helmet, Yord had known immediately who he was—The Stranger, the Sith Lord they had been chasing all along.
The battle erupted in a chaotic frenzy. Yord quickly realized how skilled Qimir was. His skills were no less than a master's, perhaps even beyond that. Despite being attacked simultaneously by multiple Jedi, Qimir maintained his defense steadily without flinching, countering with swift and powerful strikes. The brilliant red beam cut through the air with deadly precision. He moved too fast for anyone to keep up, and one by one, the Jedi fell before him, as if killing Jedi was no more than a simple task for him.
Yord could only watch in horror. Fear gripped his heart as he tightened his hold on his own lightsaber. In all his years as a Jedi Knight, he had never faced an opponent this terrifying.
“Yord! Get her out of here! Master and I will handle him!" 
Jackie's shout snapped Yord back to his senses. He quickly grabbed your hand, taking advantage of the chaos to escape immediately. He wasn’t even sure which direction the ship was in—all he knew was that he had to get you as far away from Qimir as possible.
A deep instinct told him that if Qimir reached you, something terrible would happen.
Yord stopped running when you suddenly pulled your hand away from his. At first, he thought you were just exhausted from running, but before he could turn to check on you, an immense force slammed into him. His body was thrown violently and crashed hard against a tree, the impact knocking the wind out of him.
And now, here he is—helpless, barely conscious, and fading fast.
His mind races, but no answers come. His blurry eyes focus on you, filled with confusion. Gathering the last bit of strength he can muster, he manages to ask, “Why?”
You slowly kneel before him. For a brief moment, Yord sees guilt in your eyes, but it quickly fades back into cold indifference.
“Because of love,” you answer him. "That's why I had to do this. Please forgive me."
Your voice sounds distant and faint. Yord wants to ask more, but the darkness spreads too quickly, swallowing him whole and completely overtaking his consciousness.

Foster Household: Chapter 9, Part 11
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CW: Mental Health Struggles - Guide to content warnings
Onyx: Where were you before school
Carson: Trying out the skating with Ariadne
Onyx: Have you talked to her yet
Carson: Yeah we text before school and after dinner
Onyx: I meant about if your meet up was a date
Carson: Why do I have to talk about that
Onyx: By all means, don’t talk about it and let her think you’re not interested, or that you want to date Artemisia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Carson knew Onyx was right, but he wasn’t up to risking Ariadne making fun of him just yet. Instead he did his normal work on the mural while sneaking glances at Ariadne from afar.
Mrs T: Great job Carson
Carson: Oh, thanks. I’m still not sure what I want it to be yet though
Mrs T: That’s fine, it’ll tell you as you go. Did I hear the radio right this morning? Your mum is getting a star on the walk of fame?
Carson: Yeah
Mrs T: Well tell her we're all very impressed
Tumblr media
Mrs T: Okay everyone, settle down. Phones away
Zhafira: But if it’s computer science why can’t we? Are phones not just small computers?
Mrs T: Everyone put them on silent! We need to focus. The topic we discuss today will be on the exams
Carson pulled his from his pocket to double check and saw he’d got a text at the end of lunch from Ariadne.
Ariadne: I didn’t want to interrupt you, you looked so focused! But good luck for the ceremony
She’d remembered! Although he supposed someone’s parent getting a walk of fame star was memorable. It didn’t mean she liked him. He didn’t have time to reply now but he made a mental note to send a text of thanks after class.

So all the Foster extended family traveled to Del Sol Valley for the afternoon. They watched with excitement as Kayleigh became the second active sim of mine to get the honour. First recipient was Mortimer Goth, let’s hope she has a brighter future than the now dead author.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back in Sulani everyone and their suitcases pile in. Charlie and her wife Kaori with their dog Clover. Keira and her wife Marta. Reece and his partner Samir. Kayleigh and Carson welcome everyone while Harvey gets a head start on cooking. While Reece is playing guitar outside Samir asks Kayleigh if he can have a word with her and Harvey. Keira really hopes it’s about what she thinks it is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Samir: Thanks. Reece and I have talked. After he finishes his degree he’d like to get engaged but, well, I’d like your permission to propose to him. And marry him. Please. I would like to marry him.
Kayleigh: Absolutely!
Harvey: Hmm
Kayleigh: Harvey that’s the most words we’ve heard Samir say at once. I think he deserves a response
Harvey: Are you going to give me grandbabies?
Kayleigh: Harvey!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Harvey: Because if you will then obviously yes
Kayleigh: Harvey!
Harvey: I’m kidding. Of course you can. We’d love you to keep him happy
Samir: *sighs in relief* Thank you
Harvey: When you told Kayleigh you could probably get him pregnant because you’re a werewolf was that like a throw away comment or?
Samir: *chuckles* I don’t think I could. Plus, imagine him pregnant
Kayleigh: *laughs* Oh he’d be too dramatic for anyone to handle
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Harvey: But you will have kids right
Kayleigh: *sighs* I’m leaving before you embarrass yourself even more
Samir: We do want kids
Harvey: Good, good. Now what are your proposal plans
Samir: Big? Flashy?
Harvey: Oh he'd love that. Make sure it’s well lit and get someone to record
Samir: I will. Deanna probably
Harvey: We best get back out there before he gets suspicious. Oh I hope this means we can expect more talking from you. Not that silence isn’t golden of course but you probably need to rest your vocal chords after such a long discussion. I can say things like that you see because you’re going to be my son in law
Harvey walks out chuckling.
Samir *under his breath in confusion* white people
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Carson: Hey Reece. Do you need help with your bags?
Reece: Do I need help? What’s with you?
Carson: Mum said that Samir really is a werewolf. I’m sorry for being mean on the phone about it
Reece: It’s fine, I didn’t expect you to believe me. Hey, hey, remember that time I convinced you raisins were actually dead flies? *laughing* Classic
Carson: *sarcastically* Yes, hilarious to put me off the only breakfast cereal we had
Reece: Don’t worry, seriously, it's all good
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Carson: I kind of can’t help worrying. I’ve got OCD actually
Reece: Like real OCD or-
Carson: Real OCD
Reece: Oh man that must be tough
Carson: Excuse me? You’re giving me sympathy?
Reece: I did psychology last term, it’s a requisite for a bio major. OCD sounded intense
Carson: Yeah... it can be
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reece: Are you getting help with it
Carson: Yeah, I’m on some meds and have a counsellor
Reece: That’s cool. I tell Samir he should see a counsellor but he insists I’m enough. Which I love but I’m not trained. How’s the asthma
Carson: I have less symptoms but that’s because I don’t push myself to exercise
Reece: Exercise is really healthy though
Carson: I don’t need it, look at these guns
Reece: Woah, don’t hurt yourself there

late nights
pairing ⊹˚. 42!miles morales x fem!reader 
summary →  miles comes over at night and ur just admiring him while he falls asleep in your bed
warnings ☾₊ ⊹ fluff, kissing, cuddling, mention of miles having a cut 
Tumblr media
it was 11:48 pm, and you were currently lying on your stomach in your queen-sized bed. as time passes your eyes start to feel too heavy to keep open, and just as you finally drift away into your deep slumber you hear a loud SQUEAK! coming from your bedroom window. 
you groan while rubbing your eyelids as you push your body up from underneath your duvet covers
“milessss” you drag out his when you realized it was your boyfriend, sitting completely up to look at him. “what are you doing here baby?” it was now 12 am and you were just ready to fall back asleep. 
“i’m sorry mi sol, did i wake you up?” he asks trying to study your features with just the light of your tiny lamp on your nightstand. he starts taking off his jacket and lays it on the chair at your desk.
“no no, well i was about to fall asleep but it’s okay cause you’re here” you smile looking at him as he walks over to your bed and lays against your headboard while groaning, holding his ribs.
you quickly shuffle closer to miles lifting up his shirt to reveal a fresh cut mark. “babe, omg- are you okay… what happened?” getting off your bed to get the first aid kit from your closet.
miles can’t help but glance at your really really short shorts, and tank top that you wore to sleep. “you know- the usual” he replies, trying to play it off while holding his stomach.
“miles, stop laughing this isn’t funny,” you get on top of his lap putting on ointment and wrapping up the wounded area. staying concentrated on helping miles you couldn’t help but feel his strong gaze on your face.
“what?” you let out a breathy laugh as you look up at his face. “nothing mami, you just look really good on top of me” 
you shake your head letting out a soft laugh making sure to not wake your mom in the room next door. “okay that’s enough for you” you say hopping off his lap and walking away to put back the kit. 
as you walked back to your bed, miles decided to get comfy and was already under the covers. you climbed onto your bed and snuggled next to him moving his head to rest on your chest, he moves his legs so that they intertwined with yours, moving his arms under your top, drawing little patterns as you both finally fall asleep.

February 11
Inna Cents is doing a scheduled appearance in Ciudad Enamorada at the Mirador del Amor nightclub. It's basically to hype her guest appearance on the show "The Young and the Restless Undead" - a vampire soap opera. She invited Naya Grant to meet her at the club to conduct their next interview.
Tumblr media
As Inna signs an autograph for an adoring fan, she thinks over the fact that the woman who is writing an article on her so happens to be the sister-in-law of Caleb Vatore. She hadn't planned or asked for the situation. The Fashion Magazine La Bella - who Naya works for- had reached out to her agent, who then pestered Inna into giving the interviews.
But the circumstances had provided her with an interesting opportunity.
Tumblr media
Mrs. Grant arrives on time, after flying from Sulani to Ciudad Enamorada.
"How long did it take the paparazzi to figure out they can't take pictures of you the same way they do other celebrities?" Naya asks Inna after they sit down together.
Inna briefly pauses in thought. "About a month." She replies, her lips curving into an amused smirk at her memories of the Pap getting angry because their prized photos weren't turning out. "Did your brother-in-law tell you about this?"
Naya shakes her head slightly. "My sister-in-law actually. They had a engagement photoshoot done and they had to hire a photographer who knew what they were doing so it didn't look like Vera was posing with herself." 
Inna nods her head, a small lump forming in her throat for some unknown reason.
Tumblr media
Naya doesn't notice the change in Miss Cent's mood and launches into her questions after turning on her tape recorder. Granted it will be a bit harder to get everything clear in the nightclub setting but she'll have to do her best. This is the time she was given to do this month's interview.
Tumblr media
"So, Kumikya's store in Del Sol Valley or their website?" Inna asks after the interview winds down. It didn't escape her that they both wore the same skirt, just different colors.
Naya laughs slightly "Online."
Inna smiles slightly, careful not to show her fangs. She feels a little guilt, Naya Grant seems like a sweet woman and she likes her tastes in fashion.  She's connected to Caleb though and there's a part of Inna that isn't pleased that Caleb is happy.

Kinktober Day 11
I'm still working from @dreamlandcreations's list. Day 11: sensory deprivation • public sex • choking
Ship: Reaper76
I was inspired by another AO3 fic where Jack is on the receiving end of the sensory deprivation. I thought that it would be nice for Gabe to be on the receiving end this time.
~~~~~
Love is Deaf and Blind
“I’m not sure about this, Jackie,” Gabe said, rubbing the back of his neck. “You know me and my whirling thoughts.” Jack hummed and pressed a kiss to his stubbled cheek. 
“Do you trust me?” Jack said. When Gabe nodded, Jack took his hand and led him into their quarters at the watchpoint. Gabe stood there, watching as Jack took out a set of noise canceling headphones, a sturdy blindfold, and set up the bed to be the most comfortable for him. Gabe smiled at Jack’s preparations; always taking care of his husband. He snapped out of his introspection when Jack appeared in front of him. They smiled at each other and took off their clothes, Gabe allowing himself to be corralled into a comfortable position on the bed. He hummed, settling into the pillows that Jack had set up and tried not to fidget. Jack looked at Gabe sideways, a knowing smile on his face, and did the equivalent to a perimeter check. It ended with the audible (to their SEP enhanced hearing) locking of all the locks on their door. 
“I knew you wouldn’t be able to fully relax unless I did that, babe,” Jack said, walking back over. Gabe’s face fell, and he dragged a hand over his face in partial frustration.
“I don’t like that my brain can’t turn off too often,” he replied, his voice muffled by his hand. “Why do you put up with me and my…everything?” Jack settled in next to Gabe, a brilliant smile on his face.
“Because I love you,” he said. “Simple as that.”
“Is it really that simple?” Gabe asked, and Jack swatted at his shoulder.
“Of course it is. The rest of the world may be complicated, but our love is that simple,” Jack said. Gabe just stared at Jack, who stared back at him. After several seconds of that, they both broke down into laughter. 
“You have me there, mi sol,” Gabe said before kissing Jack. They both sank into the kiss, feeling themselves relax further. Gabe squeezed Jack’s bicep, indicating he was ready. Jack reached for the blindfold first as Gabe settled back into the pillows on his back. The world went dark as Jack slipped the blindfold on, Gabe’s ears picking up the slack. He heard Jack shuffling around a bit, caressing his sides and hips. Gabe hummed, and Jack hummed back at him. 
“Ready for the headphones?” Jack asked. Gabe took a deep breath and nodded. Jack slipped on the headphones, and the world fully disappeared. Gabe felt the bed move, but he had no warning at all when Jack touched him. He startled, feeling like a newborn horse or deer, when Jack’s hands landed his hips. Jack’s hands felt more, felt so good squeezing his hips. Gabe felt himself panting as Jack’s hands caressed him, dancing around his groin and not touching his cock. They drifted upwards, moving in small circles, and it was the hottest thing that Gabe had felt in what felt like ages. 
His hands flexed, gripping the sheets, as Jack’s hands sank into his pecs and squeezed. When Jack’s hands moved, Gabe expected him to continue; what he wasn’t expecting was Jack’s mouth to latch onto a nipple and suck. Gabe’s head fell back as he felt himself cry out at the sensation. Jack’s mouth and fingers danced between each nipple, giving each the same attention. Gabe’s head thrashed back and forth, hips bucking to try to get more friction on his cock. He felt like he was so close to orgasm already, and it hadn’t been that long. 
Right? It hadn’t been too long, right? Gabe forced down that thought, sinking back down into just enjoying and receiving what Jack had to offer. He was being given a gift, and it would be rude not to - Jack’s hand curled around his cock, and all thought left Gabe’s head. Just pleasure-Jack-pleasure as those wonderful callous fingers stroked his cock and cupped his balls, fingertips dancing along the large vein in his cock. The feel of his throat and chest vibrating with moans and shouts of pleasure was a background sensation. 
Wet heat enveloped his cock, and Gabe felt himself arching upwards, the distant feeling from the vibrations in his chest and throat that he was practically screaming. He fell back against the bed, writhing and moaning as Jack sucked his cock. Gabe could feel himself babbling as Jack continued, seemingly encouraged by whatever Gabe was saying. He felt Jack pull off of his cock and encircle the bottom of his cock with his fingers. His wondering was answered as lubed up fingers danced across his taint and found his ass. 
Could one pass out from pleasure? That was the thought running through Gabe’s mind as Jack’s fingers slowly entered him and opened him up. Gabe was shivering and writhing, not knowing that the broken moans and reactions thus far had already made Jack cum once (Jack had gripped the base of his own cock and had cum dry) and had him on his way to the second. Gabe felt Jack’s fingers leave him and Jack’s cock replaced them. He felt Jack’s body drape over him as Jack entered him, and he felt Jack’s shudders as he did. Gabe felt a stab of pure joy at that; his Jack was also finding pleasure. That was something he always wanted for his sunshine, his love, his Jackie. 
Their arms wrapped around each other as Jack started thrusting, quickly falling out of a regular rhythm and focusing on bringing them both to climax. Gabe felt Jack’s teeth sink gently into his neck, and that is what threw him over the edge. The combination of feeling Gabe cum untouched and the squeezing of his cock drew Jack over the edge as well. As they lay there, Gabe felt Jack take off the headphones first; it allowed Gabe to finally hear both of them panting with the aftershocks. A few minutes later (so as to not overwhelm Gabe right away), Jack took off his blindfold.
Gabe blinked, Jack and his disheveled halo of blonde hair came into view. Jack looked as punched and strung out as Gabe felt. Gabe drew him close and gave him all the kisses, Jack falling into giggles at the way Gabe was pressing kitten kisses all over his face. 
“Is this something we want a repeat performance of?” Jack asked. Gabe snorted in a “duh” tone. 
“As though I would say no to doing this again. In fact, I may request that you allow me to do this to you,” Gabe replied. Jack blushed and nodded.
“Then it’s a date,” Gabe said.

A hilarious article about the bashing of the Momoro couple
Tumblr media
I came across a "historical" article that's too funny and takes itself way too seriously 😂. It's called Citizen Marie Françoise Joséphine FOURNIER (Sophie Momoro), agent of the Public Safety Committee ( true tittle La Citoyenne MOMORO, Marie Françoise Joséphine FOURNIER (1766-1808), Agent du Comité de Salut Public ?). Just the title already reeks of bad faith (though not as much as Historia's title Robespierre the Legalistic Psychopath XD).
Besides claiming that Antoine-François Momoro, from the beginning of the Revolution (1789), "ugly and brutal, made a name for himself by welcoming into his printing house all the manufacturers of libels and defamatory pamphlets" — the fact that he was ugly, I honestly don't care about. However, in 1789, he was actually quite cautious, to the point that he had an argument with Camille Desmoulins, who complained about Momoro in a letter to his father. So no, he only became more active after the king’s flight, and from there, he evolved from a cautious man into someone willing to die for his convictions by 1794.
Let’s move on to the next excerpt: "Quickly, he used his position to get some people removed from lists in exchange for a comfortable sum of assignats. He charged a high price for his signature and soon amassed a fortune of 80,000 pounds, despite previously being in debt." Then there's a bit about his wife, Marie-Françoise FOURNIER, supposedly an ex-marquise, said to be "quite ugly with a fishwife’s voice and horrible teeth" (Memoirs on the Prisons - 1823). She supposedly directed emigrants to her husband to make them pay, and the couple allegedly displayed scandalous luxury during a revolutionary time that advocated equality for all.
This is the best part of the year! At one point, I thought they were talking about the Tallien couple in Bordeaux, but no, it's the Momoro couple being discussed.
Now, here’s the inventory report from the commissioners who seized their property at Momoro’s mother’s house, which supposedly proves their luxurious lifestyle: “Today, 11 Germinal, Year II of the Republic, at eleven in the morning, we, Jean François Denisot, member of the General Council of the Besançon district, appointed by order of the same district to affix seals at the home of the mother of the named Momoro, who has just been executed in Paris, and with François-Joseph Bernard as our secretary, went to the home of citizen Forno, a war commissioner, where the said Momoro was a cook. We asked citizen Forno to show us the room of the said Momoro, to which she replied that she had died the previous night but was ready to show us the room she occupied." The total assets were: "an old armchair and a small mirror, 26 livres, 17 sols, 460 assignats, a crucifix, a gold ring... a small fir box, and a small bag filled with various papers." Seems trustworthy to me, but feel free to decide for yourself. In fact, the couple's only real wealth was their workshop and printing presses. I say “theirs” because in her husband's absence, Sophie managed the business, it seem that she acting as interim boss 😉 And honestly the revolutionary men would not have been as effective in my opinion without their wives,sisters,etc... Although they would have remained active (I think Condorcet would have been less effective without Sophie de Grouchy, the same for Roland without his wife Manon, Camille Desmoulins without Lucile Desmoulins would have been less effective in my opinion, the same for Momoro without Sophie or Jean Paul Marat without Simone Evrard and Albertine Marat, etc....)
Also, the claim about taking money to remove people from lists is a big red flag, considering their well-known political activities. Sophie wasn’t even an ex-marquise, though she came from a wealthy family of printers. The article contradicts itself by saying they got married during the Revolution when it’s well-known they married before it. As for Sophie’s so-called ugliness, it was described by people who were hostile to Momoro, making it highly questionable (like the unreliable informer Laboureau, who mocked her appearance after accusing her husband). Not to mention, she didn’t have lovers, contrary to what the article claims. It was only after she remarried Jacques Marie Botot and following his disgrace in the army after Bonaparte's coup that he became bitter against her and she ended up having a lover, who didn’t marry her, though he did recognize their daughter.
Some claim that Momoro forced his wife to play the role of the Goddess of Reason. However, knowing her character, she would not have hesitated to divorce him, as she did with her second husband (in Napoleonic times, when divorce was even more difficult). Signs suggest she shared her husband's ideas (she even mimicked his writing style when she wrote a petition to the Assembly for help). She also shared his views on the Vendée according to a letter of Momoro and accompanied him on his mission there, making it more likely she agreed with or wanted to participate in the de-Christianization campaign. Additionally, the letters Momoro sent to his wife, while brief and not fiery love letters, showed care for her (I think he loved her but was one of those people who had trouble showing affection in public—more of a shy love).
The article's claim that Momoro manipulated the trial to his advantage is also false. He remained dignified but, when he wanted to write a defense, Ronsin reportedly told him not to bother since it was a political trial and they were all doomed anyway. In fact, it was Ronsin and Vincent who defended themselves vigorously, but ineffectively.
Finally, the article tries to argue that Sophie Momoro was a royalist and that’s why she was released after two months. Here’s the excerpt: “Later, at his trial, Fouquier-Tinville answered the President of the Tribunal, who asked why he acquitted citizen Momoro in May 1794: ‘Citizen Momoro, thanks to her connections at the Temple, informed royalists about the son of Capet,’ Fouquier-Tinville replied." Once again, there’s no proof for this claim. Moreover, the arrests and subsequent releases or, sadly, executions of revolutionaries' wives often seemed random ( except Charlotte Robespierre or her time of liberation which came quickly I am not surprised, do not take this for bashing of Charlotte Robespierre, I have already expressed myself on this subject), as shown in this post by @anotherhumaninthisworld on Tumblr https://www.tumblr.com/anotherhumaninthisworld/761989542352945152/do-you-happen-to-know-how-often-it-occurred-for?source=share
In any case, if the Momoro couple were truly royalist agents with hidden treasures, I propose we give them a posthumous Oscar for Best Actors. I’ll contact Hollywood immediately.
It’s a shame though—if the article really wanted to bash Momoro, they could’ve mentioned his terrible proposal by letter to burn forests in the Vendée (knowing how serious it was), his dubious allies in Paris like Carrier, or how he proposed harsher measures on suspected counter-revolutionaries toward the end. See, I’m a good sport 😛, and I’m even offering suggestions on how to criticize ( or even bashing ) one of my favorite revolutionaries. After all, I do the same with other revolutionary figures, so it’s only fair that others get to do it with my favorite characters—but at least use credible sources, or else we risk spouting nonsense! XD
P.S: The article was written by Didier Duval as part of « the Cercle d’études historiques sur la question de Louis XVII » . There are other false things like the fact that Jacques Marie Botot had a career under Bonaparte when he was disgraced or other nonsense but I won't say more

college matt.
part 2.
you woke up the next morning to meg poking you until you opened your eyes, “y/n wake up for fucksake” she groaned, crossing her arms like a child when she saw you eventually squint up at her, confused on what the fuck was going on. “what do you want” you replied grumpily, rubbing your eyes and yawning, hair a frazzled mess from your heavy sleeping. “can you stop using my drunk elephant drops, they’re expensive and they’re mine” she demanded, looking down at you as though you were scum of the earth. “your drunk fucking what?” you responded, convinced she was speaking another language, “i haven’t touched your shit meg”, rolling over and burying your head in your cushions, hiding from the bright sunlight that was bursting through your windows.
meg stormed into the bathroom in a huff and came back, holding a pink plastic fragrance that was half empty, you knew what it was since meg sprayed it all over herself multiple times a day, stinking the room out. “can you also stop using my fucking sol de janeiro spray, get your own!”, you rolled your eyes and put your headphones in, attempting to block out the nonsense that was spilling out her mouth. it was times like these where you felt baffled on how matt tolerated her let alone loved her, you’d seen the way meg talked to him at times and felt appalled by the lack of self awareness she had, you couldn’t wait until second year so that you could move in with your best friend instead, but for your first year you knew that financially living with meg was your best bet, unfortunately.
-
(later that evening)
it was 11 at night and you were in your small pjs with leftover pepperoni pizza in a box on your bed and your hair in a messy ponytail, your laptop sat at the end of your quilt with the american office playing whilst you sat crossed leg, painting your nails.
you heard a quick knock at the door, confused since the only person who ever hung out in your dorm was matt yet meg was currently on a night out with her girlfriends. you crept out of bed, blowing on your black nails so they wouldn’t smudge and opened the door. there he was, stood with a cheesy grin on his face and a bag of reese’s in his hand, you gave him a soft smile. “meg isn’t home tonight matt, sorry if she miscommunicated with you”, he nodded, handing you over the reese’s “yeah i know, she wants me to pick her up later and said i’d be closer to the place if i hung out at your guys’ flat beforehand, that okay with you?” he asked “i bought sweeties, your favourite”, he beamed his teeth at you, it was impossible to say no to a face like his, you opened the door wider and raised your arm to gesture him to come inside.
hours went by, hours of giggling and long conversations. you found yourselves sat on the floor, backs leaning against your bed, your laptop shared between the two of your laps as you watched the lego batman movie on netflix. your knees were leaning against each other for comfort, it was too much effort to go out of both of your ways to completely avoid any physical contact since you were sat side by side, and it’s not like anyone could see you to judge anyways.
he looked down, removing his concentration from the film, “cool tattoo” he said, breaking the brief silence and staring down at your bare thigh. “thanks, spiders are actually my biggest fear so i thought i’d get them tatted on me so i could get over it” you murmured softly, letting out a soft laugh and looking down, a little embarrassed by your lame explanation. he lifted his hand that was closest to your side and gently placed his fingers on the spiderweb, trailing them delicately across the supple skin of your thigh, running lines around each corner of the web. your breathing became heavy as he completely caught you off guard by his touch, you tried to ignore the warmth between your legs as his skin held contact with yours. you felt your lips part from the light sensation, eyes fluttering shut as his fingers crept closer up you thigh to the top of the web. the goosebumps on your body were evident and hard to hide, you felt increasingly more flustered the longer his hands lingered on your body, “i like it” he replied, after what felt like years of sensory torture. you were disappointed when his hand left your thigh, moving it back down to his side and against the floor.
matt’s eyes made contact with the small tattoo that hid on your neck behind your ear, it was revealed due to the ponytail your hair was kept in- the tattoo was a match that was set alight, it had little to no meaning, you just thought it looked cool. your breath hitched completely when you saw matt lower himself to get a closer look at it, his hand travelling back to your thigh, doing loops around the web. as he leant in to observe it better his lips very lightly brushed the side of your upper neck, you were almost certain it was accidental but still felt a flutter in your stomach, feeling somewhat guilty of how aroused you were getting by such a tame interaction.
he slowly backed away from your neck, “that one is sick”, he whispered with a raspy voice, lips delicately grazing the edge of your ear as he returned his body to how he was sitting beforehand. “thanks” you mumbled, finding it hard to find words as you were attempting to lock in everything that just happened to your memory so you could save it for later when trying to sleep. you looked down at his arm and trailed your eyes over the numerous amount of tats that dotted across his skin, “these ones are my favourites” you pointed, placing your fingers on the leaves that fell down his forearm, “i love fall” you said quietly, looking back up at him and keeping heavy eye contact, he smirked at you and just as he opened his mouth to speak his phone began to ring, meg needed picking up.

all the lines from various Acolyte previews and trailers, grouped by what i think they're about
Sol giving a lesson to younglings. In the Celebration trailer and the first official trailer, though slightly different in each.
Tumblr media
Sol: Close your eyes. Your eyes can deceive you. We must not trust them.
Sol: The Force is powerful. It is power we must respect.
Sol: Tell me what comes into your mind.
Youngling 1: Life.
Youngling 2: Balance.
Youngling 3: I see fire.
(I’m pretty confident this is all from the same scene.)
2. Talking about Jedi murders.
Yord: Someone is killing Jedi.
Tumblr media
Yord: It doesn’t make sense.
(These two lines are together in both the first official trailer and the tv spot, though the first is voice-over only in both and could come from a different context entirely.)
Tumblr media
Yord: Jedi are being hunted.
(This line shows up in the second trailer, spoken to Sol and in a different setting from the second of the above lines.)
Tasi Lowa: Last night a Jedi was murdered.
(voiceover at the beginning of the second trailer. We don’t know who this character is yet.)
3. Sol’s investigation, which might have Vernestra just off-screen. In the first trailer.
Tumblr media
Sol: What happened?
Convict: I sensed darkness.
(The reply isn’t shown onscreen but seems to be from the same scene.)
4. Aniseya’s speech(es).
Tumblr media
Aniseya: This isn’t about good or bad. This is about power, and who is allowed to use it.
(This is said to a person off-screen in the first trailer and its Celebration version.)
Tumblr media
Aniseya: Destiny is not decided for you by an anonymous force. If you want to pull the thread and change everything, then pull it.
(This is said to Mae, possibly a younger version of her and most likely in a different scene from the above, in the second trailer. It seems to be one cohesive statement.)
5. Confrontation featuring Jecki, Sol, Yord and other Jedi in a dark environment.
Tumblr media
Jecki: What is that?
(spoken onscreen at the culmination of the first trailer, with Yord standing next to her.)
Tumblr media
Sol: You carry a Jedi weapon. But you are no Jedi.
(Sol featurette. Sol says this to someone offscreen while brandishing his lightsaber.)
Tumblr media
Sol: What are you?
(the end of the second trailer, intercut with shots of Jecki and Yord and the mysterious masked figure.)
6. Mae-Indara confrontation.
Mae: Master Indara.
Tumblr media
Indara (to Mae): Who trained you?
Indara (into her comlink): I have an unidentified Force user.
(shown in a likely continuous scene in the preview attached to TPM rerelease, though with a few skips between shots.)
Indara (to Mae?): This is a fight that you will not win.
(offscreen over footage of fight, in May 18th promo spot.)
7. Sol-Mae confrontation.
Tumblr media
Sol: Tell me, who trained you?
(this is from the Sol featurette and seems to be said to Mae, likely before or during their fight from the first trailer.)
8. Qimir’s speech
Tumblr media
Qimir: The Jedi justify their galactic dominance in the name of peace. But that peace is a lie.
(this is from the second trailer and might be said to Mae.)
9. Sol talking about Mae.
Sol: She was my student. I trained her. Let me be the one to bring her in.
(from the second trailer, spoken entirely in voiceover.)
Sol: She was my student. I trained her.
Tumblr media
Yord: And now she is a student of the dark side. An acolyte.
(the lines as they are edited together in the May 11th tv spot, with Yord’s reply being shown on screen, spoken to Sol. it appears to be the same scene as his jedi are being hunted line.)
Tumblr media
Sol: Let me be the one to bring her in.
(this comes from the same spot and is spoken onscreen to Vernestra.)
10. Vernestra’s speech.
Tumblr media
Vernestra: I sense this is only a small part of a larger plan. Some sort of shift to tip the scales.
(from the second trailer, most likely one cohesive statement. appears to be from a scene set in the Jedi temple.)
11. Mae’s threat.
Tumblr media
Mae: It’s time to face the past.
(from the second trailer. onscreen, possibly to an older Torbin.)
12. Mae’s plea.
Mae: I didn’t do it!
Tumblr media
Mae: Believe me!
(from the May 11th tv spot. first line offscreen, second onscreen in a snowy environment, possibly to Sol. both with a similar desperate tone.)

Number.EX: Kyoto -HAPPYAKUYADERA-
1
2017 AD. Gai and Mamoru visit the new Kyoto Railway Museum, exclusive guests today as Gai’s return isn't public. LinerGao, restored after being wrecked as part of Repli-GaoGaiGar, is among the exhibits.
2
Back on the Division Train during the journey back from Jupiter, Mamoru explains recent events to Gai, showing him video of the Global Wall, but Gai is more amazed by the GGG Smartphone he’s using.
Back in the present, the two Captains are driven around Kyoto in BMC Rover Mini Porc-Auto and discuss the battle with Repli-Mamoru and Repli-GaoGaiGar in Kyoto 10 years ago. Learning from Mamoru how Repli-Mamoru tried to help fight the 11 Sol Planetary Masters and was turned, Gai regrets his death.
3
They arrive at Arashiyama, just past Togetsukyo bridge, the site of the battle's conclusion. Mamoru visited already soon after returning, but wanted to come with Gai.
As they walk, Gai notices where Repli-Mamoru died, a modest patch of white flowers bloom.
Never having seen Animus Flowers themselves, they do not recognise them for what they are, but they in fact sprouted from Repli-Mamoru, but due to his DNA being an optical isomer, their own nature is altered allowing them to root in normal ground. They find some joy in the flowers before leaving.

I just have to say I am absolutely IN LOVE with this story and it’s my first time ever leaving a message for a fic so that says a lot… I’ve read so many Joel fics (way too many at this point haha) and yours is one of my favorites. The way you describe every moment, every feeling.. I don’t know where Sol ends and I being while reading it. You are so talented and if one day you’ll plan on writing a book I’ll be the first one in line cause sheesh. I won’t even start on the smut, it’s built up so deliciously, gives me butterflies! Idk how many chapters you have planned for this story but I’ll read all of them a thousand times over just to get a taste of this version of Joel Miller. I’m also around Sol’s age & personality and quite inexperienced sexually & with an attraction for capable older men, problematic relationship with my dad as well so it feels personal to me & I’m living my fantasies through your writing atm haha. You’re amazing, talented, incredible!! Sending you all the hugs
dear sweet anon, take my heart and soul and don't give it back !
"it’s my first time ever leaving a message for a fic so that says a lot" oh, wow. genuinely, wow... i'm honoured that you'd chose me and my fic to be the first you message about. i love that you see yourself in sol, especially after i've attempted to keep physical descriptions of her to a minimum to not take anyone out of the fic (ie. describing a skin tone that may not match whoever is reading). it's such a nice reminder that we don't need physical descriptions to relate or see ourselves in characters. i hope you continue to live out your fantasies as this series progresses! <3
"Idk how many chapters you have planned for this story but I’ll read all of them a thousand times over just to get a taste of this version of Joel Miller." honestly, not even i know at this point how many parts i intend to write for this series. every time i think i've settled on an outline for the whole fic, a new idea pops up and i add another chapter. as it stands, i currently have planned out a total of 12 chapters and 11 drabbles, but that could easily change and grow in length.
"You are so talented and if one day you’ll plan on writing a book I’ll be the first one in line cause sheesh." you're now the second person to bring up the idea of me writing a book ( including the sweet book-shelf anon ) and i really just want to stress how much hearing things like this means to me. i'm currently a student, working on my bachelors degree in english literature and creative writing with the goal of ( someday, hopefully ) working in the publishing industry/writing my own fiction novels, so to have anyone say this is just so incredibly validating to my big ( basically unnattainable ) dreams.
this reply ended up longer than intended, but thank you so much, for all of this! sending you all the hugs back ! <33

Resurgence: We'll play the position
In the midst of Quinn and Nyx and their creatures going back to the Queen's domain, they did not find themselves in the spot they were. "I was supposed to go help howler... I wanted more sleep. What happened..?" They asked amongst themselves realizing they were in front of the queen's stone standing with a sword shielding her. "Quinn what else happened!?" Nyx blurted out. "Sol has been overwhelmed, Warden has been snappy.... Echo too quiet" Quinn answered with a lightning bolt slapping her mentally.
"I hope I'm wrong in this but her problem is that she's been repeating herself over and over. And blood justifies the cycle's continuance." Quinn added. "Fuck all that!! We're waking her up!" Yelled Nyx. "We shouldn't." Quinn advised. "Oh waaa. She's been sitting here for over ten years listening to everything that they've told her to do and they've told her to essentially isolate. Twenty-two years I've been running with that girl, Twenty-two years I've seen her blood disregard her. Let's do what she wants." Nyx commanded. She walked up to the queen Stone knocking on it and saying "..shave and a haircut."
Screams began to engulf the room along with sobs. The severity of the situation made The Duality grow heavy in the soul. Years and years and years the girl was complacent and was trying to show she was to no avail. So now in the wolf's mind all they need is a show. "I got ya kid... as always.... yes maiden we're here." The duality murmured as the queen began to move on her own. "You... you were right! You were right!" She screamed. "I knew the clock was on time, but now I feel it wasn't for him... I guess Blue's my new wild card huh?" Nyx said
"...so what do we do because after all we still also have to help Kaos?" Quinn questioned. "I'm pissed off enough and I'm tired enough and you want to know something sickening.. I'm invisible enough we're taking it to them so we hit in Cali and we're hittin Ohio! Let Inferno rest for just a little longer, just a little longer he needs it." The queen answered. "So what do we do first beloved? Do we do California or do we do Ohio..?" Asked Quinn. Nyx looked to the queen noticing the green and red coming from the ember of her eyes and said with an evil grin "Ohio."
Rogue stood tall as Nyx infused into the wolf, allowing bright red streaks to show through dark fur. The began to howl as one breaking the silence of the large room they were in. As they got louder a dark mirror began to appear before them. "I've never seen this." Quinn whispered with worry. "Pray I don't make you use it. Because you're deadly." The queen replied. "But what is it?" Quinn asked. "My door." She answered jumping through the glass. Quinn quickly followed along with Melinoe on her shoulder, with Rogue and Nyx behind keeping everyone covered.
Nyx quickly Broke Free from Rogue to look at where they stepped. When Rogue realized they were at exact location she barked with glee. "Told ya find Blue... I was rusty." Admiring her work. "How do we lure her out?" Quinn asked looking up the large apartment complex. "Leave that to us..." Nyx answered "What we're doing was taught by 11....but first this." The queen explained taking a hollow element out of her pocket. She raise her hand making the stone glow in moonlight.
"What's she doing??"Quinn asked wide eye. "The three of us are here and we're looking at her, to where there might be a pieces of our element in that woman she is our blood after all now watch watch..." Nyx answered pointing out its function. "You see how it glows blue, it acknowledged our girl. Don't know why it just showed up black and white but just a second, there.. red fire." Nyx explained getting excited. She explained that Quinn did what they're doing but Quinn process requires blood, theirs element.
Element began to flow from a window of the apartment complex, finding its way to the stone slewing it to glow brighter and brighter. It finished with all of the element allowing the stone to combust into flames solidifying the fire it was supposed to be. "That should do it... Give bout 5-6 minutes..." the queen said bring the stone in her hands "Look!!! You loved your aunt.. your shard was there... look, mom's too." The duality said. "Still do. But I WILL exist.... not when its convenient... and for damn sure not to look good." She said knowing what was to come.

Stars on Mars: Episode 11
Tumblr media
Previously, on Stars on Mars: Paul beat Ariel in the vote for Base Commander, Ariel struggled in the mission and eliminated herself, and there are now just six celebrities remaining in the competition to become the “Brightest Star in the Galaxy.”
Only two episodes left. Let’s do this.
“It is sol day 16,” Adam says, over footage of Cat teaching him how to hold a golf club. “You know, I never thought I’d be playing golf with Cat Cora in a space suit. Now that I think about it . . . it is weird.”
Porsha and Marshawn are in the kitchen. Marshawn marvels that Porsha has made an entire life and career out of being on reality TV. “Why?” he asks her.
“Well, let me ask you this,” she says. “You’ve been here under the same surveillance. How’s it been for you?” We get a shot of two cameras that are mounted in the kitchen doorway, swiveling to follow Marshawn’s movements around the room.
“Terrible,” he replies. “I can’t dig in my nose when I want to, you know what I mean?”
Porsha laughs and tells him he has been doing that. And farting, and burping. 
Marshawn tells us in a talking head that he likes Porsha - “she’s like my bougie auntie.” Back in the kitchen, Porsha points out the area behind the kitchen sink where the cameraman sits. “When it’s not open like that, they can’t see you,” she tells Marshawn confidently. As she turns back around, the cameraman waves his hand at Marshawn (and us) to show that he can, in fact, see them. Marshawn cracks up.
All six of the crew are cleaning their space helmets and talking about how they’ve nearly made it to the end of the competition. Adam explains in VO that Porsha and Tinashe are his good friends, and they have each other’s backs, but “I came here to be the BRIGHTEST star. I mean, people are in it to win it. And I am people.”
Lady AI reminds the team that today is not only Sol Day 16, it is also Mother’s Day. Porsha is both shocked and sad to realize that it is Mother’s Day and that she won’t be seeing her daughter. “Because this experiment has the competition aspect, I just don’t really want to show weakness,” she tells us, as we get a shot of her in Base Commander quarters, crying. “This has taken true dedication. This is bringing out the fighter in me. Moms just get it done, you know? We go in the closet. We cry it out. We have a breakdown, and honey, you would never know.”
The crew is called into the kitchen for “a special briefing.” 
“There are now four sol days left in the experiment,” Lady AI tells them. “There will no longer be Base Commanders. You will all compete in every mission going forward. From now on every mission will help determine who will be the Brightest Star in the Galaxy.” We get a close up of the “Brightest Star” mission patch.
This announcement is met with surprise and some concern from the crew. Cat says that this is great news for her and Paul, since it takes away some of the power of the alliances that had formed. Paul says that he’s going to do everything he can not to lose.
Cat volunteers to read out the day’s duties - it’s show and tell time! Each crew member has been told to bring a personal item that they will leave behind on Mars, like a time capsule.
The group moves to the living room couches and shows each other what they have chosen to represent them in the hab after they depart. “Marshawn, are you going to leave an empty bottle?” Adam asks, gesturing to the glass liquor bottle Marshawn is holding. 
“No, I’m leaving a swallow,” Marshawn answers, holding up the bottle to show a tiny bit of amber liquid still inside of it. 
Cat is leaving one of her cookbooks. Paul is leaving his dominoes: “A great representation of who I am and what I do with my friends.” Porsha is leaving a framed ultrasound of her daughter. Adam is leaving a photo of him, his husband, and his dog (it’s a cute shot - appears to be the one from their wedding day). Tinashe is leaving some of the art that she painted while she was on Mars. (Did we know she was painting? I feel like this is the first we’ve heard of it.)
Adam gives a talking head about how things are truly getting real - only one person can win. “As a competitive athlete, the goals were so clear cut. Become a National champion. Get to the Olympics. Doing this experiment, I have that same mindset. I want to win! Hello!!”
Later that day, or maybe the next (hard to tell), Porsha is wondering aloud how one becomes the Brightest Star. “Do you just say it?”
The emergency alarms blare. “Here we go, guys!” Adam exclaims. “This is, like, it!”
Shatner appears on the screens and congratulates the crew on making it this far, then introduces this week’s mission. A weak distress signal has been detected and all crew needs to go investigate immediately. The signal is coming from two separate locations, so they will have to split into two teams to complete the task. And, Shatner adds: “This is a rescue mission.” A “knowledge” mission patch is on the line.
Lady AI expands that the distress signals are too weak to get a location lock on, so phase one of the mission will be arranging the satellites to boost the signal.
“I’m not the Base Commander or anything,” Tinashe says, “But I feel like we should split up the teams into, like, type -”
“Me, Marshawn, and Tinashe,” Porsha says immediately. Adam does not appear especially thrilled by this.
“So me, you, Paul, then,” Cat says to him, and he doesn’t have many options other than agreeing.
Cat says she likes this team because Adam is very fast - “he’s an athlete” - and Paul is her “ride or die” (which Lance was like two days ago but whatever).
Tinashe also does not seem thrilled by these arrangements, but like Adam, knows that it’s not worth picking a fight over. 
“I would have loved to have been on a team with Porsha and Tinashe,” Adam tells us. “But that’s not how it goes, so I have to remember that the team that I am on right now is going to decide my future.”
As we return from commercials, the two groups are out on their two separate rovers, driving across the Martian(Australian) terrain. Marshawn is behind the wheel for Team A, Cat for Team B. Tinashe says she thinks she has a strong team, but is really nervous. Lady AI informs us that the team who wins the first part of this challenge will be deemed Mission Critical, and the members of the losing team will be at risk of extraction.
Adam gives his friends on Team A a sad wave from his rover.
The group arrives at their satellites and discovers that each one is labeled with the name of a planet. The teams have to rearrange the satellites in the correct planet order - closest to the sun to farthest - and then race back to the starting point, where a light will turn green if they are correct. The first team with a green light wins.
Tinashe asks Marshawn and Porsha if they know the order of the planets, and they say no. She tells us that she learned the order of the planets when she was a kid from a song on Blues Clues. Adam then informs us that he and Tinashe had a conversation about this song earlier in the experiment, and we get flashback footage of the two of them singing it together. Adam says that as soon as he found out what the mission was all he could think was: “I know that she knows it. It’s a race.”
Tinashe says that knowing that Adam knew the order also made her really, really want to win, even though he’s her buddy. “We’re all very competitive here.”
Lady AI counts down from three, and the race is on. Tinashe and Adam become the captains of their teams, directing their other team members where to take each planet. Adam’s team takes an early lead, but it’s extremely close. Team A closes the gap and squeaks ahead for a second, and then both teams place Neptune in its place within seconds of each other. All six people start to sprint back to their light.
Adam reaches the light first, and it turns green. Team B is victorious, and Mission Critical. High fives all around, and we get a cute soundless talking head from Adam as he throws up some victory “v”s for the camera.
Tinashe admits that all three members of her team were surprised: “I think we all thought we had it in the bag.” They do look pretty shell shocked. Marshawn curses. Porsha is pissed. Tinashe tells them that they tried their best.
Lady AI informs Adam, Cat, and Paul that they are the winning team and they can now track the distress signal to its source. They climb back into their rover and take off into the desert. “Let’s go see who this is,” Adam says.
Team A is told that even though their signal is still weak, they still need to go investigate what it might be. “You are the losing team,” Lady AI reminds them, “and one of you is at risk of extraction.” 
As they drive, Team B celebrates and tries to guess what they are going to find. From an overhead shot, we can see a lone figure walking slowly toward the rover. 
“Oh my god!!!!” Adam explains, as the figure slowly comes into focus. And honestly, that reaction is justified, because it is WILLIAM SHATNER IN THE FLESH!
Shatner - who, by the way, is NINETY TWO YEARS OLD - is standing in the middle of the desert, wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses (no spacesuit required for the OG Captain Kirk, I guess), stoically watching the rover approach. Flies keep landing on his face and he doesn’t lift a finger to shoo them away and honestly I think he earned his salary for this show in this moment alone. 
Paul, Cat, and Adam are positively GIDDY. I think that they (like me) had come to the conclusion that they would never actually meet Shatner over the course of this series. “I almost wrecked the rover,” Cat says with a laugh.
“Where’s your helmet??” is the first thing Adam says to Shatner, which is kind of hilarious. 
Cat begins to take off her helmet and Shatner says, “DON’T YOU’LL DIE!!” and everyone is laughing except for Shatner who is still one hundred percent committed to this bit and I guess this is why you hire William Shatner. “I crashed landed!” he tells the group. “It was awful.”
Cat tells the camera, sometime later: “I guess he’s been in space so much and he’s so badass that he doesn’t even need a suit on.” Heh.
Adam moves to the back of the rover so that Shatner can ride shotgun and Adam marvels, “Wow, William Shatner is in better shape than me.” Cat is still so excited about this turn of events that she stalls the rover twice before they start moving again.
“This is so fucking wild,” Adam says, as the camera pans back and triumphant music plays.
Back at the hab, the group takes off their space gear and officially introduce themselves to Shatner. Shatner shakes each of their hands, telling Paul that he’s taller than he expected, and Adam that he’s smaller than expected. “And you are just right,” he tells Cat, and okay, this man is a charmer. Also it’s so funny seeing how starstruck these three are.
Shatner gets his first look at the hab and hands out their mission badges. He tells them to be proud of those patches: “If I were you, I’d put them on my forehead.”
“I’m gluing it,” Adam promises.
With that excitement over, we return to Team A, still out in the desert, more than an hour and a half away from the hab. Lady AI informs them that their oxygen supply is depleting. They find the source of their signal, which is an empty escape pod. (I’m sure it’s supposed to be Shatner’s but this group does not yet know who Team B has found on their mission.) “No life forms detected,” Lady AI says. “Rescue unnecessary.”
She goes on to inform them that they do not have enough oxygen to get back to the hab, so they will have to stay the night here at the site of Shatner’s crash. “The supply pod contains all essentials necessary for survival. Use them wisely.”
The trio realizes that they have to inflate a “pod” (aka set up a tent) where they will have to sleep. “If realizing that I had to sleep in a bunk at the hab was bad . . . this was infinitely worse,” Porsha says.
After a bit of trial and error, the group gets the tent up. Eventually they all get inside and turn on their “oxygen” and FINALLY get to take their space helmets off. “The family that gets dirty together stays together,” Marshawn says, as they prepare to hunker down for the night.
Back at the hab, Shatner tells Cat, Paul, and Adam that only one patch remains: the Brightest Star. We get a closeup of it, sitting on the top shelf. Shatner asks them if they all want to win it, and the answer is an enthusiastic yes. Cat has not stopped beaming at Shatner since they got back from their mission.
“Is Cat sucking up to William Shatner?” Adam asks. “Yes. Is she doing it because he’s going to have a huge say in who is the champion of this? Absolutely.” 
“It’s a team game here,” Shatner says. “Until . . .”
“Until there’s one winner,” Adam finishes. 
Shatner laughs and tells them they are all going to start throwing elbows soon. The group heads to the kitchen and toasts to a successful mission, and you can tell that all three of them are thinking “holy shit I just had a beer with William Shatner.”
“It’s such a pleasure to meet the three of you,” Shatner says. “You’ve done so well, I’m surprised.” (Ha!) Then Shatner says he’s going to bed and saunters off into the Base Commander’s suite.
Back in the middle of the desert, Marshawn, Tinashe, and Porsha get a message. Shatner shows up on video and informs them that there is only enough oxygen in their little pod for two of them. So they have to choose one member of their group to get on the rover and drive through the dark back to the hab. Whoever they choose . . . will be safe from elimination.
Before cutting to commercials, we get a talking head from all three of the stranded crewmembers. Porsha said she didn’t come all this way to lose. Marshawn says he’s trying to prove he’s mission critical. And Tinashe, rightly, says that she was the MVP of her team today: “I was the only person on my team who knew the order of the planets in the solar system. I don’t think they could have done it without me.”
When we return, the group is staring at each other. Marshawn says he’s going to do it, but makes no attempt to move. Porsha asks who can run the fastest, and Marshawn, former NFL running back, says, “Duh.” They laugh. Porsha says that she’s going to go and Marshawn tells her that she’s bluffing. There is some banter about how far the trip is and getting lost and Marshawn eating Porsha’s tacos.
“Seriously though,” Marshawn says. “Whoever leaves is mission critical. Who is it going to be?”
Porsha and Marshawn volley the role back and forth between each other for a bit - you go, no YOU go, no you - while Tinashe looks on silently. Finally Marshawn says, “Tinashe, go do your thing.”
And my girl Tinashe says, “I did know the order of the planets,” and is immediately on her feet and putting her helmet on and I seriously love her for this. No playing games - she knows she was the most mission critical of the three of them and she is not letting this opportunity go by. 
“Tinashe, you didn’t have to get packed up that fast!” Porsha says, and both she and Marshawn seem a little stunned that Tinashe did not even blink at taking the rover when it was offered. Tinashe’s out of the tent with barely a goodbye.
In the hab, Adam and Cat are in the kitchen making dinner and Adam says, “I’m starting to think that they aren’t coming back.” Cat agrees and says everything seems really unclear. 
“It feels too abrupt,” Adam tells us. “To just lose three of our crew members right now. But . . . they’re not here. And William Shatner’s already gone to bed!” 
The emergency sirens blare, and Lady AI informs them that there is crew arriving in the airlock. Paul, Adam, and Cat lineup in front of the airlock doors to greet their teammates - and are surprised when only Tinashe appears.
“I’m back, baby!” she says.
“What happened???” the group asks.
Tinashe looks EXHAUSTED. “It’s a long story,” she tells them. “Let me put my stuff down.”
Adam grabs her helmet from her and walks with her to her locker. “Who did you save?” she asks him.
“William. Shatner,” he replies, still sounding like he’s in disbelief.
We don’t hear all of Adam and Tinashe convo as she takes off her suit, but she does tell him, “I did know all of the planets. Only one. Child of Blues Clues!” They both laugh and give each other a first bump.
The next morning - Sol 17. We return to Porsha and Marshawn in the pod, and Porsha is APPALLED that no one came to get them all night. “I ain’t come this far to lay here and die,” Porsha says.
“Then do something about it,” Marshawn says. Porsha says they should walk. Marshawn says to call an uber. She rolls her eyes and starts packing up.
“Come and face your elimination like a man,” Porsha tells him. “I should have never befriended you. That’s why I’m stuck out here with you!”
They banter and bicker the entire way back to the hab. Porsha’s talking head says that she doesn’t think it’s fair that new people are going to be deciding their fate. “That doesn’t sit well with me at all.”
Inside the hab, the group - plus Shatner - is ready to meet the bottom two crew members and decide which one of them will join them in the top five. Shatner opens up the comms and greets Marshawn and Porsha. 
“Wait, is that really William Shatner?!” Porsha asks.
Shatner asks them both to come to the airlock, and we’re treated to a highlight reel for both Marshawn and Porsha as their voiceovers share what they gained from the experience and why they are mission critical. Some of these old clips are wild - like, I totally forgot that Tallulah Willis was on this show.
Both Porsha and Marshawn make their appeals to Shatner plus the crew, in typical Porsha and Marshawn fashions. Shatner asks the four crew members inside for their thoughts. “What is mission critical?”
Tinashe says that to her, mission critical encompasses leadership, trust, and hard work, and that she personally feels like Porsha checks off more of those boxes than Marshawn. Adam agrees, saying that Porsha has contributed more to life in the hab than Marshawn has, and that Porsha has also been very strong on the missions. Two votes for Porsha.
Cat asks for more time to think about it, so Shatner turns to Paul. Paul says that when he thinks about mission critical, he’s thinking about who he would turn to if his life was on the line, and that would be Marshawn.
Back out in the airlock, Porsha tells Marshawn that she wishes that she could hear every word of the discussion going on inside, “so that I can run them down one by one.” 
Finally, Cat makes up her mind. “I’m going to strategically set this up for whatever works for me,” she tells the camera. “Because I want to win this.” To Shatner, she says that she is voting for Porsha. 
Adam and Tinashe both smile in relief. I find this choice very interesting because if the final winner comes down to a vote, Cat has just let in someone who is part of an alliance with two of her competitors. But if Cat is banking on a physical challenge being part of the end game, then it makes sense to get rid of Marshawn, one of the most physically strong players, before the finale. 
Shatner calls Porsha inside. She gives Marshawn a big hug. The group says goodbye to Marshawn and he heads back outside. In his exit interview, he says that he doesn’t know how to be anyone but himself so that’s what he did, and that he had a good time, and now it’s time for him to go.
Inside, Porsha asks Tinashe how they came to their decision. “You deserved it more,” Tinashe says, as the two of them join Adam and they all hug. “You love me!” Porsha laughs.
“The OG Three definitely have a bond,” Tinashe tells us, over footage of her, Adam, and Porsha talking. “We have spent 17 days in this hab together, and I genuinely feel like no one deserves to win this more than we do.”
Cat and Paul are in the kitchen, and Cat tells us that she knows that they are outnumbered by the other group. But, “I’ll do what it takes to get to the finish line.”
Next Week: THE FINALE! Thank god. See you then.
