#tell me all your thoughts!

man yesss. i imagine thsoe bff with N or F [and later on even M and A, but in a different way] are just in for a TRIP. Because they gave that warm and bright that is so comforting and encouraging. It's very like 'You're great because you're you!!' or 'Your very presence makes my days and existence better.' Like wowza, how do you DEAL with that????

[Not to diminish bff M and A who are just so .... that steady, unwavering belief in you and your capabilities. With the added boost of knowing that unlike F and N, they are more closed off/reserved.]

Yes! Yes, you get it! Thank you for sending me this ask because I’ve been thinking about it for the past while

I’m really into the best friendships and how they have an impact on the detective agent, especially pairing with their best friend, and especially pairing with their relationship with Rebecca

But really, F and N have always been so welcoming. They’ve always been kind, understanding, and that the detective agent has really helped them come back together, to feel like a family? They’ve discussed it themselves (and F joining the Unit made them all feel so complete? it’s so damn special)

The outward showing of love, encouragement, affection, it’s just absolutely lovely! Such positivity

It is a lot to deal with, imo! I love the friendship pairing with Dinah and Nate, because Dinah is incredibly sarcastic, she’d somewhat pessimistic, and she doesn’t really connect - outside of a few like Tina - even though deep down, she does want to be approachable, friendly, but it’s just not how she is at the moment

Enter Nate. Tall drink of wonderful. And it’s almost as though he fulfills what she hasn’t had in her life, and it’s - definitely a mind fuck - but one she doesn’t mind. Is he too much for her? Sometimes, yes, and she finds herself drawn to Mason’s quiet. But, over time, I think Nate helps draw her out. I joke about it, but I think Dinah might be a little in love with him (and there is a bff scene in b4 that really makes her think that haha)

As for Layla, my Adam-mancer, I had originally wanted her bff to be Nate, but the more I think about it? She and Farah would be incredible best friends. I think they’ll both help ground each other, and sort of set each other on the courses they were meant to be on. I need to play her route in b3 with Farah as a bff, so I’ll have more on that when I do it!

Please tell me your thoughts, and your detective agent relationships!

people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

Wondering if somewhere in Wymack’s desk is a buried file of one Jeremy Knox who, unbeknownst to the Foxes, was offered a position on their line but stayed in California instead

”—ah. seems like mother goose has been playing around in your egg salad. if you won’t dance to that tune, I got others.”

honestly, the would you kindly scene is whatever to me*, code yellow is the more interesting violation/betrayal of the body because of how beautifully it escalates the Fontaine reveal/betrayal and shows how ugly some of those ‘locks and keys’ that Tenenbaum mentions are. not only have you been a tool in another man’s hand this entire time, it goes deeper. your body is not your own.

*there used to be a meandering thought here about the would you kindly scene, but it was really just talking around the fact that I spent way too many years seeing people discuss it in the most insufferable and reductive ways possible when it’s a combination of three or four other things that make that moment compelling lmao

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:

“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”

Another tidbit from Rob Wilkins at Ineffable Con last year about The Kiss saying that David wouldn't let go. This, after Rob saying that the kiss meant "do it again" and DP Gavin Finney's comments about Michael and David being "so strong and so real and true" and Michael saying that kissing David was "everything you dream of." I can't breathe...

I'm still learning the characters rn so this might not be accurate but please tell me its at least funny

[lanawinterscigarettes]

I like to think that there's at least one version of The Doctor out there somewhere in the vast multiverse who would've done anything to keep Jack Harkness by their side and never would've left him alone in the first place :((

Not gonna go out on this limb on a 25k post, but maybe it’s okay that kids today don’t know as much about using an actual computer as we do/did? Is it useful knowledge? Of course it is. So is using a sewing machine or being able to rebuild your VW with a copy of that one book every VW driver used to have. That’s not the right question—most practical knowledge is useful after all. The question should be “is it relevant to the way people live right now.” “How to Keep Your VW Alive” is a timeless fucking classic; my ex and I kept our copy long after he sold his VW. But I’m not buying a copy now because it won’t exactly help me keep my VW ID4 on the road.

And it’s funny, because I tend to read along with those posts and nod my head, because back in my day we HAD to know all that computer stuff. And then for some reason today, I remembered a conversation my mom and I had with my grandma in the mid 70s when I was a teenager. Grandma made my mom’s wedding dress. She worked at a department store doing alterations on foundation wear, which if you look at 1950s foundation wear, you’ll realize was both necessary and difficult. So she was shocked when I said most of my friends didn’t know their way around a sewing machine. “But how do you make sure your clothes fit?!” Well, Grandma, people don’t wear heavy foundation wear any more and clothes don’t need to be as tailored as they did back in the day—it’s 1975 and the only alterations I need to do is hemming my flares so they just touch the floor when I’m wearing platforms.

Now you can back up and look at the broader picture, the one that says, but your car should be repairable by you as long as you have clear instructions, and you should be able to alter your clothes or make your own, and yes, you should know how to organize the files on the desktop of your laptop. But the fact that for the most part it’s become easier and easier to just not do those things (if they can be done at all) isn’t exactly the fault of Kids Today. And it’s certainly not meeting them where they are or even trying to understand why they feel they don’t need that knowledge if, instead of looking at why they don’t have it and maybe even don’t need it, you just decry their lack of the Deep Wisdom.
