Cursed (joke) ship idea: Linda/Miller

Liller, if you will. Or Millinda.

I love a good rarepair, and these two under-characterized Spartans have opposite personalities and nearly incompatible communication styles. I love it.

The easy route is making Miller Linda's shaking purse dog, but that's too simple. It could be fun, but it ignores all the other problems these two have. It takes a belt sander to their other facets about how they can make each other worse.

Linda is quiet, incredibly skilled, and fiercely loyal. She's also a super under-socialized S-II. Miller is a kind of whiny, smart S-IV who's building confidence at his job but he exists in the "we have to spell things out for you" halo media.

Borrowing an initial meeting from @bloodgulchblog's speeddating au, the Infinity has a speed-dating event. People who would not usually talk meet at a table for 3 minutes. They leave. Miller now has a S-II haunting him because of miscommunication/ she adopts the ones she likes. S-IIs engaging in a light-hearted speed-dating event with the focus and rigor of an active mission would be so so funny.

Miller is the guy in the chair feeding her intel on exercises and missions, that's new and helpful. Point for Miller. Linda is observant, works well under pressure (I wish she got more personality than being zen and loyal), and would take Miller's intel seriously. Point for Linda. Miller can be worn down to agree with the most insane plans if they're the only viable option, Linda is a S-II, all their plans are insane. Point for Miller.

It wouldn't be a straightforward relationship. Spartan Courting could be insane. Affection showed differently. Looking out for each other, sharing food, Linda ominously t-posing just outside render distance. Miller gets a single thank you or good job and he's amazed. The Handler/Sniper dynamic of trusting the calls and evac. You need to know how the other will react and will trust you to get the job done. Needing to know they will pull you out of the fire and bring you home. Linda camping out for hours to get a shot but she lets the funny guy she found in on the radio.

Something that strikes me about Mina’s letter to Lucy today is how, as responsible and go-getter as it is, she sees Lucy as a confidante and a respite from having to bottle everything up. She complains about work and wishes they could hang out in person so Mina can be FULLY honest with her.

I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air.

She’s yearning for that openness that only being with Lucy can bring.

I just wanted to let you know that I love all of your fics, I first found your writing through the CoD fandom but you singlehandedly made me interested in Halo again. I never realized how much lore the games/books/tv show have since I was pretty young when the first few games were coming out, but your writing made me want to revisit them and its given me brain rot. so thanks for that <3

Friend, I held on to this for a long time. Because this has meant the world to me. I've been having a very busy time in RL and I haven't written anything in weeks. But this? This message? Every time I came back to read it I smiled and felt much better about everything. This means so much to me, it really does. I can't thank you enough for your timing and your kindness. I hope you've been well and you're having a wonderful day. 💖

I am TAKING NOTES about that Wynn, Britta, Neil conversation in 89. I will need to relisten to that for reasons But boy. Britta wanting Pendragon. How fraught. I am living for the inner turmoil she has 😈😈😈

Neil AND Wynn talking about their own experiences and their candid views on Pendragon. Deep deep character insights. My favorite.

I will now take all that info, extrapolate it, and twist it for my own sick fanon purposes.

sorry to the person i vagued🙏🏾

“you knew the hero died so what’s the movie for?” “this is why they shouldn’t kill off the main guy” I don't actually see these similarly other than her love of TV and film analogies that has existed thought her career. The hero that died in Hoax was always Taylor to me as she explained the song also involves her masters betrayal as well and that connects back to her being killed in My Tears Ricochet. Killing of the main guy in contrast is a much more light hearted reference that connects with when she said she lost interest in Grey's Anatomy, although it fits as a broader reference than just that particular TV show.

iiinteresting. okay, i can vibe with this, i'm gonna chew on it

[poisonheadcrabsalesman]

I should strive to put more of the sci-fi nonsense in the longform palmer lasky thing because I think it'd be interesting to have Lasky react to his new coworkers as having tracking devices, experimental organs, and microchips tracking their vitals at all times embedded in their bodies.

Palmer eating her Spartan Meal designed by nutritionists and scientists while Lasky attempts small talk and he learns Too Much because she was a Helljumper and a marine and now a Spartan, TMI is something they train into you when they pick you for command. She thinks it's bonding and he's trying and failing to eat his own lunch now.

Different anon but here's my thought: The Great War, Hits Different, Renegade, and the second verse of Cornelia Street are about different situations, and we don't even know the chronological order. The other songs that are somehow connected to at least one of them include: Afterglow (//The Great War), this is me trying (I really don't know where to put it because it seems to have parallels with every one of them except Renegade lol), The Archer. And I'd also add peace (mainly the verses), some parts of hoax (like what we've been talking about), DBATC (I know it's also inspired by the movie but it's more like "what would be the worst situation from here/what if the other didn't come back and really gave up" to me), the changing lines of That's When (//Hits Different or timt idk, or it could be another situation). Bonus: the demo of cardigan, ME!, and False God. Don't know if I missed any!

i agree with you that they describe different situations and the chronology is unclear (also, generally, unimportant.) and i think these connections are great. thank you for sharing this! i love it and i'm going to be chewing on this for a while too

Because of the fact that BTV rarely repeated episodes during the Classic Era,

most Inspectators filled their need to revisit the Inspector’s adventures by reading the novelisations, which often included added details that were cut from the serials when they originally aired.

It's a combination of 1, 9, and 11, I'm pretty sure. Also, they're more powerful as a whole group.

Can I please ask for your top five theories on why the Ringwraiths become so much more powerful over the course of the LotR trilogy? By the end of the books a single Ringwraith holds an army of 6000 men in paralysing dread from a height of a mile, they're dismaying hosts of men, etc. And in the beginning, they're easily defeated by "jumping behind a tree," "pretending to be in a different room," "getting on a little boat," "man with a stick on fire," etc.

hmm ok

1) their power depends on how physically close they are to sauron/mordor

2) they consciously weren’t unleashing their full power early in Fellowship bcos it didn’t seem worth it when they were just dealing w hobbits

3) they just woke up from a REALLY long nap and it takes them a while to fully come ‘online’

4) their power just waxes & wanes sometimes

5) hobbits are their One Weakness

Neurotypical is such a stupid word. There is no typical in this society. So long as you adequately preform your given duties, and interact with people in acceptable and inoffensive ways, then no one will ever notice how miserable you are. People go their whole lives being productive and upstanding and wondering why they’re so alone and stressed and if everyone else feels the same way, and if they’re broken for this. Why they want things they can’t have, why they can’t have the things they want. You’re only defective enough if you’re not contributing “value”, and at that point you’re basically refuse.
