A little drabble that was written on my phone.

No idea how many words

I’ll reformat and check it later i just wanted to post it heheheh

Bruno x reader

“If you don’t stop staring they are gonna know something is up”

“No they won’t”

“Yes they will”

“No they won’t”

“Terry-“

“I’m not even staring at you”

“Yes you are and Fin is already suss on the two of you” Velasco said sitting down at his desk opposite you. You glared at Bruno who just grinned at you.

“Honestly it’s like you want to get caught” Velasco smirked at him. Bruno just shrugged and went back to work. You quickly looked over your shoulder to Olivia’s office. She and Fin were talking about something thankfully with the door shut so they didn’t hear this whole thing. You and Bruno started dating only a month ago and you planned on keeping it a secret until you were ready to tell Liv. However Velasco has a habit of not knocking apparently and caught the two of you sharing a moment in the cribs after a particularly hard case.

In his defence, he doesn’t normally need to knock to go into the cribs.

“Bruno I swear to God” you felt his eyes on you again. You grabbed a stress ball you had on your desk, one that was kept there mostly for the boys to fidget with, and threw it straight at his head.

Luckily for Bruno he ducked the ball. Unluckily for you it happened to hit Detective Stabler. With an amused look on his face, Elliot bent down and grabbed the ball.

“Detectives” he tossed the ball at you.

“Sorry Stabler” you apologised as he headed towards Liv’s office. You waited until you heard the click of the door shutting before turning back to Bruno. “No sex for the rest of the week”

“WHAT?!”

“You heard me” you shrugged and turned back to your computer. Velasco let out a laugh and got up from his desk leaving a stunned Bruno, who just continued to stare at you.

//\\//\\//\\

“Your children are acting weird” Elliot said after he shut the door to Olivia’s office.

“What?”

“Your children” he point with his thumb back out to the bullpen “they are being weird”

“Bruno and y/n?” Fin asked

“Yeah”

“Don’t worry about them” Liv waved him off “They are ‘secretly dating’ but I don’t know who they are trying to fool. I think they are forgetting we’ve been detectives since they were in diapers” she used her fingers for the air quotes around secretly dating.

“They ain’t doing a good job of hiding it” Fin smirked “No one at this precinct is good at hiding feelings for there partners”

“We’re just waiting for them to hurry up and disclose. Carisi and 1PP are already aware, it’s in their files and I updated their emergency contact to be each other” Olivia said ignoring Fin’s comment.

“They’ll tell us when they are ready”

With the SVU boys, please.

Terry Bruno - Tugging his hair, as soon you run your fingers through his hair and tug it just a little, it takes him 0 to 60 in a heartbeat. I imagine him on the couch with you straddling his lap fully clothed and the instant you do it, his hips jump and you're like ohhh....

Nick Amaro - Words of affirmation. Knowing that you're so desperate for him, that you need him and only him and I think would make him lose his mind. Stuff like, you're the only one who can do this to me, please I need more.

Joe Velasco - Praise - You tell him he's going a good job, or call him sweet boi, good boi anything like that, it makes him feel loved and treaured. I think Joe gets off on intimacy and part of that is feeling emotionally safe with his partner.

Mike Duarte - Vulnerability- I swear I think knowing that you are giving yourself to him wrecks Mike. Telling him how you feel exactly in the moment gets him off, knowing that he's the one that makes you feel loved, wanted or good about yourself. The fact you're putting yourself out there, gives him an emotional boner, which leads to a very satisfying orgasm.

Out of curiosity, why do you like Hegel so much, yet dislike philosophers inspired by him, like Marx? I get the impression you don't see a lot of Marx's writing as...idk rigorous? Intelligentual serious? But most of the people I see making that complaint oppose continental philosophy in general and want significantly more mathematical rigor in philosophy, which you don't seem to agree with. So I'm not really sure what your objection is and what you feel makes Hegel different

The first thing here is that Marx was not directly inspired by Hegel and, according to Hegel biographer Terry Pinkard, seems to have read very little of him. Marx studied under Bruno Bauer (one of the many attendees of Hegel's lectures who also probably over-exaggerated his connection to Hegel) and Marx also read summaries of German idealism that were written by Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus, who is responsible for the infamous misconception that Hegelian dialectic had anything to with the essentially meaningless triad of "thesis-antithesis-synthesis." Following Walter Kaufmann, most Hegel scholars these days will now outright assert that "thesis-antithesis-synthesis" to be a misrepresentation of Hegelian dialectic, rather than trying to compromise with the Marxists. So a decent part of the reason I dislike Marx (and more accurately, his followers) is that without Marx, there would be far fewer misconceptions about Hegel. As for Marx taken by himself, I have some rather strong objections to social conflict theory, but that could be its own long post.

I'm also much less bullish on the idea of "Continental" philosophy, less so even the more I read of it. Continental philosophy is a somewhat loose term, which often includes not just Hegel, but also the rest of the German idealists, and technically even Kant and his contemporaries in some formulations. But usually in my experience when people object to continental philosophy they're objecting to the 20th century German and French thinkers from Husserl and Heidegger through Foucault, Derrida, and Deleuze, all of whom are imagined to have taken their lineage from Hegel, Marx and Freud, while the "Analytic" philosophers took their common departure with Kant and followed Frege, Carnap, Russell etc. And at some point in the 1920's everyone realized they couldn't talk to each other anymore.

Like all nice and clean histories of philosophy, though, none of this is really true if you look any closer. Both American pragmatism and early British analytic philosophy were heavily influenced by or in reaction to the Hegelian British idealism, and in the past 50 years many analytic philosophers have re-evaluated Hegel in light of philosophers such as Quine and applied Hegel's work more directly to their own metaphysics, Robert Brandom being the most notable example of that. So I don't really believe that the common notion that Hegel is the first exclusively continental philosopher is useful or accurate now, or that it ever really was in the past.

Meanwhile, most of the 20th century and especially post-WW2 era continentals apparently took their notions of Hegel from Marx, and so they aren't necessarily representing much if anything of him accurately. For example, I spent a decent amount of time a while back trying to figure out if Sartre had actually ever read Hegel before citing him, and most of the evidence pointed to "probably not" which seems to be a broader trend in how citation works within that subfield. Even charitably, I think it's hard to avoid the conclusion that at least a large chunk of the last 80 years or so of Continental philosophy has been primarily about fraudulent scholarship and obscurantism in the name of vague gesturing at some rather distasteful social and political ideologies. I think it's a rather shameful era of the history of philosophy, and I hope most of it is consigned to the dustbin of the past.

As for why I like Hegel: I tend to see Hegel as a synthesizer (in the general sense of the term) of everyone he read who came before him, especially the Greeks. He certainly didn't invent dialectic (according to Plato, that was Zeno of Elea), but he formalized and modernized it, and then used that formulation to define the interaction of a large number of broad concepts such as culture, religion, art, philosophy, etc. I see his dialectic as a useful shortcut when analyzing logical statements that use words as concepts: since it doesn't require an exact definition or understanding of a concept before attempting to reason with it, but instead clarifies that concept itself in the process of reasoning, it avoids the preliminary hurdles of trying to establish a rigid exact definition that might not prove to be useful.

In addition to finding the dialectic method of conceptual analysis itself to be useful in its own right, I also think that many of these concepts still have contemporary relevance, especially the conflict between aesthetic and moral concerns that leads to the much-misunderstood "Death of Art," or the conflict between freedom and authority that leads to "positive" freedom found within the State, both of which have influenced my own thinking. While these are also obviously not ideas that you must take from Hegel, as they can certainly be found elsewhere, within his system they have a common unity that makes understanding them together require less effort. But also, admittedly, you do need to invest the effort to understand his system first, so it's hard to say if it's worth it. At this point I mostly don't recommend Hegel to others, but I won't discourage anyone either.

However, while I don't think Hegel was a "mystic" or any such nonsense like that, I do fault him specifically for popularizing the idea that dense, esoteric prose is some marker of profundity, which if anything is the true influence the dreaded later "continentals" took from him. The difference between him and them is that if you read secondary literature on Hegel from critical scholars who study him (rather than those original thinkers like Kojeve or Zizek who take their influence from him), you'll discover that there is much more substance beneath that dense surface, which will make you wish he didn't write in that tortured, horrible style to begin with! But if you do this with Derrida or Deleuze you will quickly discover that almost no such secondary literature exists, and that what does exist either makes it evident that their dense prose lacks any such substance beyond some trivialities, or is itself written in the same tortured style for the same obscurant purpose. Caveat lector, I'd like to be proven wrong about that last part, but if there is something hidden in there it's value-negative for me at this point to look for it.

bruno + claudia for the character ask game!

bruno here ill do claudia!!

My first impression

ohh it was so long ago I don't really remember.. I liked her from the start tho :]

My impression now

I love her!!! prob my fav in the show along with callum.. I'm really excited to see how her arc goes next season

Favorite thing about that character

abandonment issues 💖

Least favorite thing

can't think of anything I just love her

Favorite line/scene

the scene in the S6 trailer where she's all bloody over terry and she's like ... everyone left me... but you'll NEVER leave me... tbh the scene in the actual show felt kinda underwhelming to me but I was hoping for fucked up psychological torture and codependence so yknow. it wasn't actually gonna deliver. The scene is still so cool tho

Favorite interaction that character has with another

prob the scene I just described w terry

A character that I wish that character would interact with more

I want her to meet with callum and soren again!!! I'm sure she will next season

A headcanon about that character

I imagine when she was a very young kid she would try and sneak into Viren's office(?) to see him doing magic

An unpopular opinion about that character

don't interact w the fandom enough to know what's unpopular

Favorite picture

soooooo cool

We have a date people!!! Maybe a FIRST KISSSS NEXT?!?!!!!

I'm AMAZED someone likes this- let's GO

"There's mi nieve~...did I say that right?"

She chuckled as she looked up from her book. He had agreed to meet her right in front of the Casita, and she was so excited, she didn't mind that he was a tad late.

"Close. Nieve means ice cream. You're looking for 'novia'. And YOU'RE my novio."

"Which is?"

"You already know."

"Doesn't mean I don't mind hearing it again~"

She rolled her eyes, and gently pushed his face away.

"Boyfriend. Happy?"

"Very. Now, you ready to go?"

"Yeah let's- oh wait, mierda, I forgot something! Do you wanna wait out here real quick or-"

He shook his head.

"Nonsense! I'd like to say hi to the family before we depart."

"Your funeral, bugs."

He chuckled as he walked inside, giving a little wave to the Casita's rippling tiles. She gave him a little pat before making her way upstairs, and he sighed as he watched her. They had been official for only two months now, and even then he had yet to work up the nerve to kiss her. He wanted to, surely he did, but how do you kiss a girl you cared about? When you knew you'd mess it up? Apparently his dreary demeanor was enough to catch the attention of Agustín, her father.

"Beckett! So nice of you to stop by!"

He liked her dad. Accident prone, but loveable, sweet. A lot like his own actually. He walked up to him as he sat at his piano, clearly getting ready to play it.

"Evening, señor. It's lovely to catch you before our date."

"It is, isn't it? Where are you taking my daughter this time?"

"I thought we'd watch a play in town, then go bug collecting!"

"Girls like that?"

Butted in Félix. He was a nice enough uncle, if a bit boisterous.

"Mirabel does. She finds them for me and I take notes. You should see her with beetles, she's lovely with them."

Félix leaned over the piano, shrugging.

"Can't say I relate. Pepa thunders when she sees spiders. Have to get Antonio to ask them to leave. I made a joke once about them paying rent, and apparently spiders don't believe in landlords. I dunno what to do with that information."

Beckett chuckled. This family was just interesting, you could never be bored.

"Speaking of-how is he? Is he still having fun with Terry?"

"Yeah he likes him, but giving the kid a tarantula- warning would be nice next time."

He shrugged, not really regretting it.

"Sorry, couldn't help myself. He's an adorable lad, you ought to be proud."

"Oh I am. Just like I'm proud that I got YOU two together! Got Mira a little smoochy buddy."

He wrapped around him as he joked, only stopping when Beckett shrugged.

"Oh we don't do that."

"What do you mean?"

"We uh. Don't kiss."

Félix and Agustín shared a glance at each other, then at him.

"You're not just saying that because Agustín is right here?"

"No. I mean I've kissed her head, but I don't think that counts."

Agustín adjusted the notes on the piano, mostly to try to formulate his thoughts.

"I mean, I'm certainly not complaining. But two months is a bit of a wait, can't say I expected that. It'll come though, often times out of nowhere."

"Is it like, purity promise thing? Because let me tell you, shit like that gets you HIM."

Félix pointed to Bruno upstairs, who was holding a piece of cheese in his mouth, and letting one of his rats snag a piece. He noticed them, giving a wave. Beckett gave him a bit of a smile as he waved back.

"No no, no purity pledge. I WANT to kiss her, we just. Haven't found the right moment, I suppose. I still get nervous holding her hand. Even watching her walk down those steps makes my stomach fill up with butterflies."

The three (four if you include Bruno) watched as she made her way down the steps, and approach them.

"Sorry I took so long-listen, I had a question."

"Of course."

"When do I get to clap them cheeks?"

You could imagine the horror on not just his face. But her father's. Félix was trying not to snort into his hand, but he was failing, damn near close to wheezing. Beckett felt his voice crack in the middle of his response.

"I'm s-sorry lass, I don't think I heard you right."

"No, you did. When do I get to hit that, because you're straight up supplying a bakery with those kinda buns."

He felt damn near faint. Sure, he wasn't OPPOSED to intimacy, but so soon? And so crass? And in front of her FAMILY? He gulped a bit louder than he meant to, and was about to come up with SOME response, when-

"CAMILO! STOP EMBARRASSING ME!"

Mirabel was somehow both upstairs, and right in front of him. Félix lost it, laughing his ass off and using Agustín to keep himself from passing out.

"Okay- that was FUNNY, mijo, I'll give you that!"

Camilo was suddenly in front of him, shrugging.

"Worth a shot."

Beckett and Agustín sighed in relief. Mirabel (the real one) walked down the steps, a box in her hands.

"Imma kill you, Camilo."

Agustín, ever the goofy dad, loudly played 'dun dun dunn' on the piano, much to everyones annoyance. Camilo shrugged, clearly shameless.

"Someone had to say it. Have a nice date, Mira."

He yelped a bit as Camilo pinched his ass, before leaving, with Félix following him, most likely to go off and tell Pepa. Mirabel groaned, before handing him the box.

"Here. It was SUPPOSED to be a two month anniversary gift, but now its an apology gift."

He took off the ribbon from the box, and looked at what was inside. It was a shirt a lot like Bruno's, only blue, with what felt like millions of bugs embroidered onto it. Beetles, spiders, roaches, praying mantis, with golden butterflies being the only repetitive pattern. He stared at it in awe, unsure of what to say.

"You...made this...for me?"

"Oh yeah- pumped a lot of hours into this bad boy. I know it's not perfect, messed up on the wings on some of them, but-!"

He cut her off in order to drop the box, and immediately go for a hug. He squeezed her, and squeezed her tightly. His cheeks were aflame from how soft she felt in his arms. He hugged her occasionally, but this was a bit much, even for his affectionate ass. He pulled away after a second, clearing his throat.

"I'm. Sorry I uhm. Don't know what came over me."

She readjusted her glasses, though he was pretty sure she was just doing it to have something to fidget with. Her cheeks were so red and rosey, bumblebees would mistake them for roses.

"I'll take that as a 'I'm totally not disappointed in it'. And I'll take that. You wanna try it on?"

"YES."

Was that a bit too excited of a response? Maybe. But that didn't matter. He handed her the new clothing item, before taking off his shirt, and reaching for it back. Only she was. Staring at him.

"Uh...Beckett?"

"Yes?"

"This is a ruana. It goes OVER your shirts. It's like a coat."

"Oh. Apologies. I'll just put it back on-"

"Well now hold on, maybe its a new fashion statement."

"Mirabel."

Agustín butted in, his brow raised as he warned her to stay appropriate. She shrugged, a sort of 'joking' grin on her face.

"What? Only Camilo gets to be funny around here? Here."

He put his shirt back on, then put on the ruana. He gestured to himself wildly, tempted to jump up and down like a child.

"I LOVE it!! It's LOVELY! And so comfy-I'm never taking this off."

"At least to wash it, right?"

"You...might have to teach me how to was this."

She rolled her eyes at him as she grabbed his hand (her hand was so TINY), pulling out of the room.

"We'll see you tonight, Pa!"

"Be safe, mija! Te amo!"

He hadn't been this excited for a date since their last date, honestly.

------------------

Whatever COULD go wrong, did. First of all, the play was canceled due to heavy rain (Pepa could control her weather, but stopping other weather? Different situation), and it was so cold out, Beckett thought they'd be able to find no bugs. At least, not without ruining his new clothes. It was why it was sweet of him, to offer to wait out the rain at his house. He let her in, and shut the door behind them. They were both dripping wet, which sucked, she had picked out a cute sun dress and everything.

"Here, follow me, I have some towels in my room."

She followed, and gently whistled at his digs. It was...busy. Full of sketches and papers, lots of books, and a shelf full of bugs in tanks and jars. She accepted the towel, drying herself just enough to study the bugs comfortably.

"Wow. You REALLY like bugs."

"You should see my collection back at home! Far more impressive than these. And these are just for studying, I plan on letting them go once my reports are finished."

He tried to dry his hair off, making it just a big, fluffy mess. It was long, more than enough to cover his eyes when it was like this. She chuckled, pushing it back for him.

"Is that ALL you do? Just write about bugs?"

"For work, yes. Besides, I like it. Bugs are fascinating. Especially her."

He nodded to the butterfly in the jar, and she recognized it immediately. The same one that landed on her, only two short months ago.

"Aw, you kept it?"

"Course. She's incredible! I called my associates, they have no clue what species she is. I'm planning on taking her home with me. Until then, Miraposa is just company."

The butterfly was fluttering about in the glass, as if it had somewhere to go. She lightly tapped the jar, before another bug caught her eye.

"Oh what's this one?"

"Oh that's peaches, she's my orchid mantis. A little sassy, but with looks like those, she could afford to be. Would you like to hold her?"

She shouldn't. But simultaneously she REALLY wanted to, for some reason. She nodded, and he gestured for her to sit down. Once she sat on his bed (that smelled like dirt and blackberries), he carefully walked over to her, creature in hand. He ever so delicately placed her in her hand, before sitting next to her.

"Woah. She's SO pretty."

"Isn't she? Fun fact- this little girl can eat birds! I've seen it, she's as pretty as she is bloodthirsty. She reminds me of your oldest sister. She scares me."

"The bug, or Isa?"

"Yes."

That made her chuckle, gently shaking her head as she studied the bug. It was curious, trying to crawl and climb all over her.

"She trying to eat me?"

"I wanna say no, but maybe. I didn't feed her before I left. You wanna help me?"

"I absolutely wanna feed this queen."

He carefully took the bug from him, placing her back in the tank. It didn't matter what insects he was with, his touch was as delicate as any touch could be. He dug into his closet, and pulled out a container of crickets. It took a bit of work so the bugs wouldn't spill everywhere, but eventually she managed to get three in the tank, and watched as Peaches just brutally devoured them.

"Beautiful."

"In a messed up sort of way, it is?"

"...i uhm...meant you, actually."

She averted her gaze out of nerves. He was goofy, a bit of a nerd, but he just had random moments of being a total prince charming.

"Prettier than her?"

"Hey I live with her, if I say it out loud, I'll never hear the end of it."

She chuckled as she bumped him a bit with her hips.

"Eres tonto. I like you."

"I'm sure tonto is insult, but you saying you like me makes up for it."

He reached over to sort of help the towel against her hair, and their eyes met. It was only a second, before he cleared his throat, and went into his closet.

"Could you sit down for me, one more time?"

"Sure, what for?"

She sat down, and yet again, he sat next to her, something in his hands.

"You gave me something, I want you to have something."

He put a really puffy, really girly, pink bow into her hands. It definitely wasn't her style, but she wasn't gonna be rude, so she smiled.

"Uh, thanks. It's cute."

"I know it doesn't look much. But...it was my mom's."

Wow that made her feel like a bitch. She tried to put it back into his hands.

"Oh I can't take that- it's been like two months, it's a bit soon-"

"Says the girl who made me this. Look, my dad was so awkward with my mom, he genuinely thought this was a pretty gift. He was awkward with her. I'm awkward with you. I don't know what to do or what to say half the time I'm with you, I just know it's good and weird and I just-"

She didn't know why she had to do it. She just knew she had to grab him by his stupid ruana, and press his stupid lips on hers. It lasted a second at the most, and the second she pulled away, he just. Stared at her. His eyes were wide, his cheeks were on fire, and he just looked like a deer in the headlights. Oh no. Oh no she fucked it up, she moved way too fast for him.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, you were just talking and you were so animated and I was getting all worked up and I just-"

"My turn."

He placed his hands right on her thighs, and just fucking. Leaned into her. He was kissing HER. After she kissed HIM. Their first kiss. In his room. Home alone. With the rain beating against the window. That kiss lasted only slightly longer, but not by much. Now they were just staring at each other again, confused and totally not knowing what to do.

"I...I'm not gonna lie, not how I expected my first to go."

"Neither did I. You're...way more complicated than a bug."

God that was so fucking dumb. How could she not hold his stupid face, and kiss him again? And of course he had to keep things even, kissing HER again. She had to take in between...who knows how many kisses to get air. Even then, he kept his nose against hers, as if he ready for another.

"You know it's. Gonna be a bit before the rain lets up. Can I uh...stay till then?"

"Only if you don't mind me not being able to leave you alone, Miraposa."

"If you're cheating on me with that butterfly, imma punch you."

His eyes wouldn't leave hers. He kept looking for...something. She didn't know what it was. Just that he did, and when he did, he cupped her face with one of his hands.

"I love you."

Suffice to say, they had many 'first kisses'.

-------------------

"You were gone for so long! We're so glad he still brought you home."

"Course he would, mami, Beckett isn't like that. Imma head to bed now, that cool?"

"Course mija. Buenas noches."

Mirabel excused herself to her room, before, the inevitable happened. There was a knock on her door, and sure enough, it was not only her sisters, but her cousins (save for Antonio) and Mariano. The second the door shut, Luisa was ON IT.

"WHY DID YOU COME HOME SO LATE? WHAT HAPPENED?!"

"Duh, Luisa, clearly they did gross stuff."

"Camilo, don't scare her! Come on sis, you're hiding something."

Mirabel motioned for all of them to stop, about to hang her bag in her closet.

"Nothing happened. It was just raining, he took me to his place, I fed his bugs...THEN I KISSED THE SHIT OUTTA THAT GUY!!!"

She threw her bag onto the ground as she screamed, and immediately they all whooped and hollored (save for Dolores, obviously) for her.

"Damn fucking RIGHT you kissed that fucking bun boy! GET IT CUZ."

"YEAH I KISSED HIM. BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM EVEN."

Apparently the energy was so infectious, Isabela grabbed a chair from the room, and just SLAMMED it onto the fucking floor, shattering it with strength that scared even Luisa.

"LET'S BURN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND!!!!"

Upon the energy dipping, she looked around at the eyes, chuckling awkwardly.

"Too much?"

"A LITTLE, but you know what, loving the energy, and I'm living for the support- oh my god they're crying already."

Mariano accepted the back crushing hug from Luisa as they both cried, hearts clearly full of love for her.

Man-tis was a good ass day.

Headcannons for being in a poly!relationship with Joe Velasco, Mike Duarte & Terry Bruno

Tagging: @rosaliedepp You did this! It got too long for reblogs so I thought I would do everyone a favour and pop it behing a readmore.

Following on from this HC

I can literally imagine Mike sighing and watering these poor plants because Terry forget to all the time because of shifts. He would complain to the plants but then prune them when they are a bit wild. Terry is the one that repots them though when they get a little big.

Sleeping Arrangements:

Night time I imagine it's you and Joe in the middle, Mike on one side of you, face to face and Joe draped over your back. Terry always snuggles in with Joe because he's good at soothing him when he has nightmares or sleep paralysis.

Workplace:

So in work I think it's kinda an open secret. Everyone acts professional, they're cops they have to but there's always small gestures. I think Mike and you work in different divisions so you're not all in one place at one time unless a case crosses over. I think with Terry and Joe it's more noticeable, Terry will always reach out to Joe during a hard case, like a shoulder squeeze, or drops by his desk for a chat, even a quick hug in the locker room. Likewise Joe will make sure Terry eats as I think he gets hyper focus sometimes. If anyone is feels they haven't seen one of the others, they will drop by their desk to check in and make sure their ok and looking after themselves.

If there is an argument at home Terry is very good at being professional and will be cool and a little aloof. Joe will probably ignore Terry if the issue is with him unless he absolutely has to respond. Terry is very good at defusing situations so if Joe does get snappy he will give him space until he is ready.

I think Joe and Terry told Liv together, like we're in this relationship with Mike and reader. It doesn't effect or work but you have to know for HR.

With people making comments in a professional environment Mike would go for the throat. He would verbally eviscerate them, he is very protective of the three of the three of you and hates his business being blasted. Joe is more likely to get into a scuffle. Terry is more likely to ignore it. The only time he can’t ignore it is when you’re branded a slut for it. Then he’s getting in someone’s face. The one time Mike was called to deal with one of you in custody, he was very surprised to find Terry in the holding cell with an ice pack on his face because someone couldn’t keep their mouth shut. Mike had a word with the fella afterwards.

PDA:

I think PDA is very dependant on person so Mike’s not massive on PDA in general as he’s a very private person. He’s all about light touches, lingering in your proximity, buying drinks and giving you that smile. I think Mike genuinely relaxes when he’s round the three of you, even if you’re out. He laughs more, touches more. Terry’s sort of flipflops with PDA, he’s very intuitive so if he feels someone needs it he’ll willingly give it. If not, he’s happy to sit in his chair and laugh with the rest of you. Joe, I feel is hands on and it progresses the more he drinks. I think he uses touch as reassurance, (do you still want me, I’m here kind of thing) He’s hand on whoever’s at the bar’s lower back, kiss on the head as he drifts past one of you to go the bathroom, even playing pool he’s like let me show you how to line it up better. Terry and you enjoy that, Mike doesn’t need his pool game stepping up, he was hustling to make ends meet back in the day.

When it comes to anyone putting themselves in danger it plays out like this:

Mike will go through every possible eventuality with whichever one of you it is. He will try to deter at first but if they’re resolute, you bet his baby is gonna be as prepared as possible. He’s one running through UC identities with you, peppering with questions trying to catch you out. He’s also the one that makes sure the person has a weapon they can use on them at all times, he’s given every single one of you a push dagger just in case. When they are away on op he’s grumpy, short tempered and abrasive, constantly checking in with the superiors for updates.

Terry is the one that checks in on the emotional well being. He learns as much as he can about the op, the people who are watching your back and expresses how important the person is and what may happen of they get harmed. He usually uses Mike as the threat. When their away on op he busies himself as much as possible and tries his best to take care of the others as Mike will drink too much and Joe will spend a little too much time at the gym beating the shit out of people.

Joe will give whoever it is tips because he’s had the most UC experience up to date. He’ll have burner stowed away at a mutual location close to the target area in case shit does hit the fan. You have a code word that the others don’t know about in case things get a little dark. He will also be super clingy on the lead up. He suffers a lot when of the others goes away. He doesn’t sleep well, constantly asking Mike for updates. The other two in the relationship will take care of him, make sure he eats and pay him special attention.

This was fun feel free to send more!

a weekend away in vermont with bruno, or: a niche, purely self-indulgent gift for @rhettabbotts

[fst-critique]

In what appears to be a clever spoof on pop-music videos like those broadcast on MTV during the early 2000s, Lanvin’s joint Resort and Spring 2022 Menswear collections were unveiled in a 3 minute short and set in what appeared to be a small house on some beach haven paradise. Directed from the first-person point of view, the video’s protagonist was that of a model seemingly being tortured backstage as a cast of hair and makeup artists aggressively prime the woman for an upcoming runway show. Her mind drifts as she imagines herself taking part in a tropical setting partying with other beauty’s adorned in brightly colored outfits without a care in the world as the track Pure Shores plays in the background. This scene would continue even amidst a brutal storm that battered the shack. Nothing could halt the carefree vibe. In just a matter of minutes, the model was back in reality as a familiar voice awakened her deepest fantasy. “Wake up, wake up” shouted the Lanvin creative director Bruno Sialleli at the zoned-out dreamer, instantly the imaginary receded, and the real show that is life began. However, perhaps those commands would have been better used at the designer himself as his showing for the Spring 2022 season matched a convoluted theme of opulence and dread. Wake up Bruno, this is Lanvin, not not the flailing Forever 21’s men’s summer sale.

Since the departure of the well-respected menswear creative Lucas Ossendrijver in 2018, Lanvin’s menswear division has failed to live up to its predecessor’s groundbreaking philosophy. No one likes living in the past, no matter how candid and glorious it appears upon reflection, though, Bruno Sialelli’s work in the men’s space is enough to drive viewers back into the archives to remind themselves of just how good how the previous two-decades have been. Ossendrijver has moved on. His place within both the history of design and that of Lanvin is cemented in the success that stimulated and contributed to the wider acceptance and elevation of what it meant to dress a contemporary man. For Sialleli, no such thought has accompanied his men's voyage. His eye has been strictly focused on priming the womenswear for a comeback. In the three years since Bruno's appointment, the turnaround and growth for the Parisian house have been solid, even admirable. This resort season is no different. Referencing the archive and narrowing down on an aesthetic of glamour and decadence has guided the lost ship that was Paris’s oldest French couture house since the departure of Alber Elbaz. Even so, his inability to steer the smaller vessel that is the menswear line calls into question the company’s decision to continue with him at the helm.

For starters, out of the forty-some looks presented this season, nearly half of the presentation saw womenswear take precedent as a result of having included Resort-wear into the mix. Before this, each menswear outing has resulted in more attention being placed on dressing the female counterpart. Harmonious and bohemian, the floral prints, leather coats, and revealing skirts and mini dresses were bourgeois yet youthful. Glancing back to the applauded “If I Was a Rich Girl” Fall Winter 2021 Womenswear collection, the bridging of the seasons has begun to define a promising narrative for both Bruno and the Maison. Fringed trims hung from terry buttoned cropped tops and that of a mid-thigh length wrap skirt alerting wearers that while the Winter parties had succumbed to the warmer weather, the energy would continue into the summer. Party clothes for a generation who have been cooped up in their homes for the past year and a half no doubt. Digging further and further into the archive saw another interpretation of Jeanne Lanvin’s signature bubble silhouette done up in an enthused light pink pastel with short sleeves and the weight centered on the garments back. The womenswear portion of the collection was a triumph. New and accessorized with rounded crescent bags with gold chains, the Lanvin woman who chooses to purchase the upscaled beachwear will surely look posh with a mai tai in hand. On the contrary, the men’s excerpt was forgettable, unenthusiastic, and disorderly.

Dating back to his first menswear collection in June of 2019, Bruno’s aesthetic has often mirrored that of whom he had replaced. Sialleli comes across as that of Ossendrijver’s younger brother whose inability to transition and move into the present has cast his work in an unflattering, stale light. The Spring 2022 collection may as well be from 2002, or 1992: there is hardly any movement of scalability in this collection. Last Fall it was knockoff grunge attire, the season before that- Spring 2021- saw a Parisian attitude dumbed down to simple suits and a bowling shirt. Unimaginative and uninspired, the remainder of the men’s set for 2022 has followed suit. Look one saw an image of a bleak man pondering into the mirror as if so dissatisfied with his clothing he perhaps wishes he stayed home for the weekend. What followed was “trippy” checkered prints- his and her version's pulled straight off of a Tama Impala cover- table clothe check patterns, and high waisted trousers recycled from season after season without a hint of change. Flipping this subdued style on its head was the inclusion of horrendous surfer attire that was so tight you couldn’t help but feel for the wearer. When matched with a softer tailored suit, the image only became worse. Concluding the show with a monogrammed Jeanne Lanvin logo “JL” ended the presentation with a poor aftertaste of the lazy streetwear branding craze of yonder. Placed on a puffer jacket, a women’s wrap coat, an ill-fitting jumpsuit, and a matching set of a polo and trouser, the mundanity was primed for a directionless mood. Such is the state of Lanvin Menswear.

Choosing to mix the resort season with a menswear offering is a nuanced idea that combines two seasons into one. Outside of the paralleled color pallet and print combinations, the whole was split into desirable women’s attire and tacky, oversaturated men’s clothing. Lanvin should opt to invest in a menswear designer who is both worthwhile and concentrated. Until then, such efforts are aimless.

Relationships

"So." She starts clearly and sitting properly. "Your little brother?" The teen nodded.

"He's?"

"About to turn twelve."

"And my husband's affair child?"

"By Stormy Tornado." He says wondering how she would react to her name. He didn't know his mother much but knew she was too much for some.

"Of course." She snaps pinching the bridge of her nose. "No offense." He laughs at it one of the better reactions.

"My mother had an energy very few could handle."

"We never got along with each other in our prime years. When she got her job in..."

"Being your husband's secretary and work manager. She always had papers when she came back home."

"Did she ever tell you about any of this?"

"No, not much. I heard phone calls and looked at papers my uncle filled me in."

"Where is he?"

"Dead. Died from an infection the same way mom my did. He leans back in the chair. " His was from too much drinking and hers was from not resting and getting help too late."

"Oh my goodness." Rose put a hand on his. "Am so sorry."

"Me too. I was nine about when Ace was two so about a year and a half later. Eight years ago next month."

"She died before she could file a case against him. And didn't believe it would matter too much that's when we moved to my uncle."

"Did you ever say goodbye?"

"Terry honey? Please take care of him for me."

"No."

"Am sorry. I lost my mother when I was younger as well."

"Do you need money?" She says getting his letters. "Most of this is expensive. And we haven't even opened the second one."

"You can open it and tell me what's in it. Am getting a headache."

"Milk sugar and cinnamon works wonders." She said as she used her nails to cut it open. She read-intensive not missing a beat Terry looked behind a curtain she pulled and saw people pooling out.

She cursed in Spanish.

"What?"

"Forgive me but this has made the situation worse. Because my husband has sued for custody it makes your case harder.

"Why do you seem so tense?" Ace asked looking at the older Tornado. His hands were shaking or holding the wheel too tight.

"Nothing. Am just keeping my promise and giving you to meet your brother."

"I met him yesterday he seemed fine."

"He wanted to meet you properly. And so does Rose." He turns to a light.

"Rose?"

"Yeah, you were at her party and her house the other day." Terry laughs realizing as he was too caught on his date with Nigel he didn't notice.

"Freckle honey-"

"Terry." He moans at the nickname. He was grown enough to not need it." No."

"What you think because you're a pre-teen you don't need a nickname?"

"Ace is my nickname." He says watching something bright past him.

"Okay Freckle." They pull up to Rose's home.

"Is my dad here?" He asks quickly he didn't want to see him just yet.

"No. He's been kicked don't worry about him." Terry opened his door for him as he waited too long. He didn't move but looked at Terry with betrayal his eyes begging him not to do this.

"Come on," Terry said hefting him up when Ace wouldn't move. Ace was heavier than he imagined but it was in a good way.

"Terry am your only brother do you want to do this? Hand me over to the people who killed mom?"

"Who might not give me back?"

Ace heard the door ring he tightened his hold on Terry him and his big mouth!

"Is he-?" A voice

"Awake." Terry placed him on the ground and made him face Steve he was really tall and broad. They had the same freckles plastered all over the place they had the same hair color and both a taste for sunglasses the nose was another factor.

"Little dude?" He asked looking down on him. "I get that am good looking but you don't need to stare." He smirks bending down a little to look at him. Ace looked and saw a few other teens laughing with him.

"Terry doesn't do this to me." He grabs his hand holding it tightly as he backed up. "You said you loved me."

"And you said you wanted to know Steve." Terry crouched down to him smirking.

"I say a lot of things I don't mean you raised me you know this."

"Just two hours it's fine-"

"What if he kills me? He's a child abuser!"

"Hey!" He barks. "Am right here!" They both made eye contact and then went back to Ace begging for his life.

"Terry I'll never disobey again. I'll do chores I'll do anything."

"You can do this for a start."

"...Money?"

"Whose money? Because am not giving it to you."

"Six hundred dollars?" He offers he never gave Terry money or anyone for that matter.

"You earned that money it's rude to take a paycheck." He says politely.

"What about-"

"Alejandro." He snaps

"Terrance." He says back pleading. Terry got up and sighed. "Come here, Steven."

"Steve." He says as they walked out for a few moments. Terry couldn't see what they were saying but knew by Terry's mannerisms he was in control.

"Okay then," Terry said handing Ace his phone. "Call if needed." Terry kisses him on the cheek. "I love you."

"If you did you wouldn't be so petty!" He yells as he walks away. Terry didn't look back and hopped in the car and left with much of a look back. "Don't have too much fun without me!"

"You gonna make that face the whole time your here?" He asks closing the door.

"Call him back for me."

"Kid am not going to kill you. I don't know what you heard but I just want to get to know you."

"Why?"

"You're my brother?" He said it like it was obvious

"Half brother." He strongly clarifies.

"No. We not doing that." He said angry and disappointed he shook his head.

"Then what are we doing?"

"Bonding let's get my car." He shakes a few keys in front of him smirking. It looked familiar.

"Does Terry know?" Terry would beat his butt if he knew what he was doing. Terry was scary when he was mad.

"If he knew everything I did he wouldn't allow me miles near you."

"..."

"Kid," Steve said impatiently as he made a face. "I will never try to kill you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you mean?" Terry asked taking the paper.

"Because someone is battling you for  custody it means you have to prove yourself a better parent." She says as he read it his headache getting bigger.

"Can't I sue back?"

"You're not Ace's mother or him. I don't think you can."

"He knew about him and didn't claim him. He was asked for money and denied it to my mother. That's got to count for something."

"Do you have proof?"

"Only that her injuries were from overworking herself." He sighs.

"I'll talk to him about it. If he never tried to get custody before I doubt now is for a good reason." She offers smiling trying her best to seem not antsy.

"Will that stop this?"

"...No. You still have to prove you're a good guardian by being investigated-"

"Investigated? For what!"

"When the court sees someone trying to get custody they will think something is up and look very deeply into it."

Ten minutes passed as Terry read and read that letter.

"Is there any way I could do?"

"You could-"

"Terrance Tornado?" A female said snapping him out of it. "Are you here?"

"Yes." He says getting up. "Am here."

"Mrs. John will see you in room 629." She says and calls out the next name.

He speeds walks through the place nerves raking through him he couldn't believe he had to do this. He stops in front of the door his head pounding from stress and tears building up.
