i think the various dynamics of hilson in fic are SO fascinating to consider. i've read ones where house is smitten and bisexual and waiting for the penny to drop for wilson, or vice versa, and ones where they both are crazy about each other but don't want to say anything for fear of ruining the friendship, or ones where both of them are mired in repression so deep that their game of gay chicken only ends when they're in bed together (doing distinctly more than just being in bed together sjkfjkh) its so fun how many options we have!!!

buddie -> “I don’t think it’s gonna fit”

"I don't think it's gonna fit."

Eddie grunts, his hips canting forward almost on reflex. "It has to."

Buck pauses, sweat beading on his forehead. "The fuck do you mean it has to? No the fuck it doesn't?"

"Buck," Eddie sighs, lifting his shirt to dab at his temples, his brow set in a way that causes heat to pool in Buck's stomach. "We're making it fit."

Buck gulps quietly, squeaking out a weak, "It's just a couch, Eds! We can get a new one—"

"No." Eddie growls, his shoulder digging into the soft cushion. "We spent way too long shopping to find a couch big enough for the both of us. It fits the living room, it's a pretty colour, it just—" Eddie grunts again, seemingly pressing his full body weight into the side of the couch. "We'll make it work."

Something warm blooms in Buck's chest over the casual possession, the couch being labelled as theirs in such a nonchalant way. He can't help but grin to himself as he digs his fingers in, setting his jaw.

"Yeah, Eds. We'll make it work. We always do."

send me a ship + a sentence and i'll write the next 5(ish)

i present: my extremely long and highly specific list of book recs for my fellow rings of power fans

[gnomewithalaptop]

Two weekends of work later, and I've finally finished my hardcover version of @flying-guinea-pig's So You Want To Be A Demonologist! I've never bound a book before, so this was definitely a new experience for me, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Edit: lmao I lied about being done. Here's the updated version.

How do omni-tools work? In ME1, they're equipment and don't get used much in-game cinematics or cutscenes. To be fair, I chalk that up to the property being new.

But in 2 onwards, they seem to be almost cybernetic. People make a gesture and all of a sudden, they have an omni-tool. Even people who aren't outfitted in armor or military gear.

I figured in 1 they were a device fastened to a bracer or gauntlet, or some other article of clothing or armor. But that doesn't really seem to be the case.

The codex tells us that omni-tools "are handheld devices that combine a computer microframe, sensor analysis pack, and minifacturing fabricator."

In the novels, the device is pulled from pockets and belts so they're fairly small. I think it's about what is practical for the person using them: a form of wristband might be easier when it comes to specific tasks (scanning, hacking, etc). It might help to think about we use tech. Recently I was typing on my phone with both hands, something I never usually do, and it was strange enough that I noticed. I'm also right-handed. If I were to use the omni-tool, it would be in my pocket for safekeeping or tied to my wrist and I would use my right hand to access the screen. Someone else might use it another way. So the tool can definitely be tailored to the person using it. It's just that soldiers on the battlefield can't be looking for it.

And speaking of the screen, that's probably what you mean by "suddenly they have an omni-tool". The omni-tool is the device itself, but just like the Ipad is an object, what occurs on the screen is what gets our attention. Since the omni-tool is so common in that universe, I guess I sometimes forget how powerful it is, with projecting images/hacking/repair/videotaping/etc. The wiki lists all the fonctions here. There are modules inside the omni-tool, so a lot can be done with it.

I also like this part from the Mass Effect Andromeda codex "Pathfinder omni-tools take design inspiration from the models used by salarian intelligence services, prioritizing the computer microframe to allow lag-free scanning and AI support." We can only imagine what the salarian are doing with their omni-tools!!! And we know the Alliance worked on their omni-tools to adapt melee combat. In the game itself you get access to advanced models that you can equip.

So I don't think the omni-tool itself is cybernetic, it's just that it's Mass Effect. The Lazarus Project and everything else that was alluded to in the trilogy and CDN might mean some people will do a lot of things to use and adapt tech like this.

ID:

Panel one shows Tenzō having turned away from Kakashi. There's tears running down his face again, but his posture hasn't gotten tight and defensive again. "Hah. That's a pretty big drawback," he says, half joking,

Panel two, Kakashi's arms enter the frame and grasp the edges of Tenzō's happuri. Tenzō, seemingly caught off guard, lets him do this, too surprised to even mind that Kakashi can see his tears. "On the bright side, you have a home," Kakashi counters, "people you trust,"

"and a shiftless, good-for-nothing Captain, who's too lazy to fill out the paperwork for hospital-dodging." Kakashi says in panel three. The image shows Kakashi smiling more convincingly, if a little apologetic, gripping Tenzō's happuri in his hand.

Panel four shows him holding Tenzō's happuri out with one hand, and Tenzō grabbing the metal sides of it with both of his own hands. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're not a liability or a threat to Konoha," Kakashi says.

In the final panel of the comic, Tenzō ducks his head, looking up with one tearful eye as Kakashi reaches out. Tenzō is still gripping his happuri in his hands, close to his chest. Kakashi's back is drenched in the yellow light of the hall.

"My couch is yours, if you want to stay the night," Kakashi is saying as he ruffles Tenzō's long, now-unbound hair.

Hey, what do you say? Wanna make history start today? 🌙🌊

[m3r1m4r5u333]

Ahem. This is not a drill! Buddie is on it's way!

Why do I say this? Well, because we've been given a very generous tip...

They're waiting for pizza to arrive 🍕,

and they're smelling smoke 🔥!!

And since the sea monkeys the show just mentioned... are obviously buddie...

And as we all know, the thing which wakes up sea monkeys 🕺🕺from their dormancy 🏡😴...

is ... WATER 💧...?

The end result is buddie.

Yes I know I am unhinged but c'mon guys,

we know this scene!!!

🍕+🔥+💧...?

Pizza and smoke and water...?

It's the Worst timeline (and in my opinion, also the Best) from the Community, and it's happening!

Which also means that Buddie will wake up! Because they just compared buddie to sea monkeys... and the worst timeline ALSO has that water💧 that sea monkeys 🕺🕺 need, to wake up from their hibernation!

Yes! Our thirst will be quenched!!!

The pizza is coming, there's smoke in the air...

And it'll rain!!

It's happening buddies,

Our sea monkeys are in the process of waking up from their dormancy!!! 🕺🕺🥳

Btw more fun sea monkey facts!

I'm too lazy to dig up the exact quotes so I'll just describe two more scenes from other fandoms which mention sea monkeys...

In Supernatural, 5x6, I Believe the Children Are Our Future... A family of sea monkeys is mentioned... it's an example of something very unrealistic-sounding, something that sounds like a lie, a thing only kids believe in... But is actually coming true; becoming the new, reshaped reality.

And also in Juno, in which the sea monkey is the baby whom Juno (a teen mom giving her baby up for adoption) is expecting. Juno says she would give the baby right away to the couple she has decided should be the baby's parents... But they'll have to be patient because the fetus probably looks like a sea monkey at the moment... So she'll keep it in the oven for a while longer, to make it cuter! So a sea monkey is a work-in-progress in the realm of Juno. (Yes, I'm using the pronoun 'she' here, it's because I'm referring to his role, a young woman called Juno, I'm not talking about the actor.)

Where was I?

Yes. Sea monkeys! They're real, they're something that will arrive with a little patience, they're dormant...

And water is what wakes them up!!!

So let's hope it'll rain soon...? Oh.. This is perfect! Katie Melua's Flood is one of my favorite songs and it fits this theory perfectly!! Let's go, Katie! 🎤
