Fatherhood

pairing: daryl dixon x trans!male original character

warning: arguments, accidental outing, smoking, mention of drug use, nothing too heavy

summary: After tragedy and loss in the group, Daryl is tasked with taking a newcomer, Carmine, back to the house he and his son were holed up in on his way to search for Sophia. Normally, Daryl wouldn’t go out of his way to help a stranger, especially one he didn’t particularly like, but the man was a nurse. Not only that, but he was the nurse who looked after Rick 6 days a week back in Atlanta. And they would need him when they found Sophia.

Authors Note: this is chapter 4 of an ongoing fic focusing on a single father struggling through the apocalypse with his teenaged son (and also falling in love with a hick). you can find chapters 1-9 and updates at least every other Sunday on my AO3 (KW777).

"How long has this girl been lost?" Herschel asks, looking over the group wearily.

"This'll be day three," Rick said, his lips pursed and his hands in his pocket. Even before, Carmine knew that if you found a kid after 48 hours, it was a miracle.

"County survey map. Shows terrain and elevations," Maggie laid a map smooth on the hood of the car, and Rick allowed himself a small smile.

"This is perfect. We can finally get this thing organized. We'll grid the whole area, start searching in teams-" Rick began, before being cut off by Herschel.

"Not you. Not today. You gave three units of blood. You wouldn't be hiking five minutes in this heat before passing out. And your ankle..." Herschel looked to Shane, "Push it now, you'll be laid up a month, no good to anybody,"

"Guess it's just me. I'm gonna head back to the creek, work my way from there," Daryl seemed to like it better that way. Carmine couldn’t blame him. The solitude of the forest was something he missed greatly.

"I can run back to the house we've been staying at. Get my things and leave some for Sophia with a note," Carmine pointed to a place on the map just past the creek.

"Not by yourself. With all due respect, we need you to come back," Rick said, looking at the man. Carmine frowned. He could handle himself, not that he looked it. He tried to stand up a little straighter.

"I'll take 'im along. We can search along the way," Daryl didn't like the idea, but he needed to make sure their doctor was alive, especially if they found Sophia.

"...Fine. I just need to say goodbye to my boy and grab my bag," Carmine fought the urge to roll his eyes. He had met men like Daryl many times throughout his life, and they always managed to piss him off before they even opened their mouths.

"Boy? That's a grown ass man, he ain't worried about where his daddy is," Daryl's tone was snarky, and he seemed to find Carmine’s concern ridiculous. Angelo was a big boy, but he was still a boy. His child. His anger flared.

"My son is seventeen. I'm sorry if you have some kind of daddy issues, but generally fathers talk to their children before they disappear and run off," Carmine snapped back, "I would appreciate it if you kept your parenting advice to yourself. Waste a little less daylight that way,"

With that, he turned and headed towards the house. His blood was boiling, and he didn't know if he could take a whole hike with the man. But he needed to get to the house, and more importantly he needed to be able to return to the farm. His navigational skills had never been the greatest. He opened the door to see his son sitting at the kitchen table, talking with Beth and Jimmy. He smiled, and briefly thought about the teenagers that used to crowd around his kitchen island and beg for something to eat.

"Hey, Ang. I'm headed back to the house, to grab our stuff. I just wanted to say goodbye," Carmine smiled at the three, "Sorry to interrupt,"

"By yourself? I can come with," Angelo said, immediately standing up. Carmine smiled a little bit.

"No, bud. Me and Daryl are going to go, search for their little girl on the way. I need you to stay here, make sure I've got somewhere to come back to," Carmine said, really meaning no way in hell are you going out there with that man.

"Are you sure?" Angelo raised an eyebrow at his father, clearly uneasy about the idea.

"Yes, son. I can handle myself just fine," Carmine smiled, and Angelo hugged him. He patted him on the back, "I'd better get out there, he just might take off without me. I love you,"

"I love you too, Dad. Be careful,"

And with that, he went to their room, emptying and grabbing his bag. He walked out to see Daryl talking to Rick.

"My point is it lets you off the hook. You don't owe us anything," Rick insisted, trying hard to read anything on Daryl's face.

"My other plans fell through," Daryl said plainly, before locking eyes with Carmine, "Let's move, Jersey!"

"Fuckin' gavone," Carmine muttered under his breath, before approaching, "Just keep your mouth shut while we do this. For my sake and yours," Carmine kept a hard stare on his face, and Rick gave Daryl a look.

"Whatever, man. Same goes for you," And with just a nod to Rick, Daryl started off. Carmine walked after him, keeping to his far side. They walked, not talking, for a long time. Carmine felt the silence eat away at him. Maybe he had been a little harsh, but he didn't really care. Okay, he did really care. Before the dead started to walk, he was a very sweet man. He still could be. But everything about this hick made his ears hot, and just as he was about to try and break the ice, a hand grabbed his bag.

Carmine fought the urge to yell, grabbing at his knife on his belt. Just as he managed to rip it from its holster, there was a bolt in the walkers skull. He looked at Daryl, debating on what to say for a second.

"Thank you," He decided on. Daryl simply grunted.

"Thank me by grabbing my bolt," Daryl said back, and Carmine obliged, handing it to him. They moved on wordlessly. They reached his house, the one he was staying at anyways, and the door was wide open. He couldn't fight the grief that flooded his face. What if everything was gone?

"I assume you didn't leave it like this?" Daryl said, looking at the building

"Not exactly," Carmine said after a moment, "I have to see what's left,"

"Whatever. Maybe Sophia stopped by," Daryl headed towards the door, and Carmine knocked on the wall with the end of his knife. A walker slowly moved towards them from the kitchen, and Carmine pulled out his knife. Daryl seemed content to let him handle this one, and Carmine did. The living room seemed untouched, but they never kept much there.

"We kept most of our things upstairs. We liked to stay on the roof at night," Carmine stated, looking towards the stairway, "You wanna search down here for any signs of your girl? It wont take me long to grab my things,"

"Yeah, but I ain't running up there to save your ass again," Daryl said, and Carmine took that as his cue to run up the stairs. He opened the door to their bedroom, looking around a bit. It was untouched. He let out a sigh of relief. He began to go about the room, grabbing their medical supplies and food first. He grabbed his and Angelo's clothes, the few that they had, and stuffed them into a secondary bag. He couldn't carry everything, but he needed some things from his old life. He carefully packed his bible, a half-carton of cigarettes, tucking a pack in his pocket, and his ipod that was long dead, but stored all of his favorite music. He always hoped they would find somewhere to charge it, somehow. He realized that something had been misplaced. Their family pictures. Then he remembered.

The dining room table. Angelo had spread them out, writing names on the back so they 'wouldn't be forgotten'. If Daryl sees that, his story falls apart and Carmine is fucked. He grabs the bag and runs down the stairs, only to see the redneck looking over them, one turned around in his hand. Carmine's breath was shaky.

"Can... I please have those?" Carmine felt more tense than he had in a long time. Of all of the people that could have found him out, Daryl was probably the worst option. But he didn't say anything, stacking the pictures up and sliding them over. Carmine placed them in his bag, "Thank you,"

"Nice pictures," He said, staring him up and down intensely. Like he was trying to figure out what he was seeing.

"Listen, man, I don't know what you think-" Carmine started, but was cut off.

"I don't think anything. Ain't my business. You wanna dress like a man and act like a man, that's your business. We ain't friends," Daryl seemed relatively unfazed, and Carmine was glad that he could realize that some things weren’t worth the argument.

"Can you please not tell anybody? The last thing anybody in that group needs is more agita," He ran his hands over his face, "I need this group. Not for me, but my son needs people other than me. He's..."

"I get it," Daryl said, finally looking away from him, "Ain't nobody in that group who's gonna care more than you do, right now. Only so many good people left, can't start getting too picky,"

Carmine was a little taken aback, but relaxed.

"Thank you," He said, before clearing his throat, "Do you smoke?"

"Smoke what?" Daryl raised an eyebrow at him, and Carmine's mind flashed back to the marijuana incident back on the highway, face flashing red.

"Just Pall Malls. I have half a carton. Do you want one?" He offered, flipping open the box on his chest pocket. Daryl was quiet for a moment, as if contemplating, before he held out his hand. Carmine placed one between his lips, lit it, and passed one to Daryl. Daryl lit his own, and they just stood there for a while.

"It's weird, smoking inside. I know the world is over, but..." Carmine trailed off, looking at the furniture.

"Never bothered to run outside every time I wanted a smoke," Daryl shrugged a little.

"I wanted to hide it from the kids. And I had nice white walls," Carmine said, smiling at a memory, "My son had an anti-smoking assembly at school, he was maybe ten. He comes home early on the bus, found me on the porch with one of these and started bawling. Going on about cancer and dying, real morbid shit. I quit, for about a week, then I just got real sneaky,"

"I never bothered to have kids either," Daryl said, "Never bothered me,"

"I didn't really decide to have them, but never in a second did I regret it. My kids, they're... He's my world now. If I didn't have him, I'd be lost. He's a good boy," Suddenly, Carmine felt guilt in his chest, "We gotta go search for this girl. Losing a child is one thing, but the not knowing..." Carmine trailed off.

"Let's get a move on," Daryl tossed his cigarette butt to the ground and stepped on it, before heading out the door. Carmine shouldered his bags, and followed after him. The pair walked in silence, not feeling the need to say more than had been said. Daryl paused in the front yard, looking down at the ground. The small white flowers there always made Carmine happy. Daryl plucked a few from the ground, tucking them carefully into his pocket. Carmine didn't hate the man as he once did, but he couldn't get over his god-awful attitude.

They searched for another hour in the area, almost silently, before heading back to the farm

shadowman 9 is like, one of the singlehandedly missed opportunites for an au of the entire show. One minor detail being changed means vb as it is would cease to exist

[markantonys]

trailer thoughts! nothing revolutionary, just little notes here and there

accepted test scene of the wondergirls on horseback hunting down rand, wading in a river looking a lil crazy. this looks like two rivers scenery to me; i remember it was reported josha had seemingly filmed in slovenia, which was surprising, so this might explain that.

we can always count on leane to have sickass new outfits!

the scene of moiraine saying the white tower has to kneel to rand - looks to me like similar vibes as the teaser shot of the siuaraine kiss, so maybe that actually is happening IRL in the fish fuck hut rather than that kiss being part of an AU vision or dream sequence!

rand saying "there's not enough ale in the world to deal with this" while looking at the fanart mat commissioned of himself djkfjghk

could this be a shot of egwene during the tavern hangout scene? i'm not sure if those are waste-y clothes or night-on-the-town clothes, but i'd guess the latter since this set seems like a more indoor establishment than what the waste might have. at first i thought that might be mat beside her, but the coat is plainer than the one mat's wearing in the tavern scene, i think.

judging by nynaeve's expression in the moggy face-stroking scene (glad to see our Forsaken Homoerotically Stroking Ta'veren's Faces quota is still being filled even without ishy), i'd guess moggy might have her under compulsion here.

AVIRAND MY BELOVEDS!!!!!!!!! avi already having beef with him as early as tar valon djkfjg god bless. i am so ready for the enemies-to-lovers!!

i spy a sweat tent with moiraine and i think a wise one! moment of silence for the cauthor two bros chilling in a sweat tent moments i know rafe would've given us if only mat had been able to go to the waste in the show. regardless, hopefully we will get rand sweat tent scenes even though we never did in the books! i want my equal opportunity sweat tent objectification.

this Rand Look that we saw in the teaser definitely looks like it's his age of legends ancestor, now that we can see more of the background, which is quite futuristic-y.

is this potentially aviendha in the rings with moiraine? or could be egwene, what with rafe's comments about rand, moiraine, and egwene having an episode in another world, but that kiiiiiind of looks like longer hair flying out than egwene's bob (hard to tell, though) and maybe maiden-like pants and boots. but the return from rhuidean looks to be only rand and moiraine from what we've seen so far........hmmmm, maybe moiraine and avi/egwene do the rings together, but moiraine stays longer afterwards to wait for rand, and then finds that orb?

morgase in the caemlyn throne room!!! i wonder if this takes place in the present day (or shortly before the present day if it's perhaps a cold open ahead of her white tower arrival), or if it's a flashback to her early days as queen. reportedly, the caemlyn set had morgase, elaida, and a baby, so it's possible this could be a flashback to a time when elayne was a baby and elaida was maybe first arriving at court to offer her services to morgase.

GAWYN IS HERE!!!!! and being a cringefail loser, just as i'd hoped <3 we can see pretty clearly from this angle that elayne, nynaeve, and mat are the only ones of our gang watching, so i do think this scene takes place after egwene and the others have headed out to the waste. but with luck, we'll see the brothers in a different context earlier on and egwene will be able to meet gawyn. as i mentioned last week, it could make sense for 3x02 to be our focal trakands-in-the-tower episode and then have the quarterstaff scene in 3x03 instead as a smaller subplot of the tanchico crew hanging around the white tower while the other traveling groups are reaching their destinations.

maksim is at the battle of the two rivers, so safe to say ihvon is the one who dies in the opening tar valon battle, i think, which does make sense since he's the one who had to get recast due to scheduling conflicts, so they probably chose to keep the more familiar face around for longer even if it may have been their original plan to follow book canon in having ihvon as the survivor. i do wonder if maksim might bite it too in the two rivers battle? it would add some stakes and losses to that battle, and there isn't REALLY a need for alanna to have any warders left, and if she lost both in a short span of time, that would make her even wilder with grief leading up to her bonding of rand probably next season. but who knows! i'm just always thinking of what the show can to do prevent the size of the cast from getting too out of hand haha

our first proper look at faile!! <3 and a dramatic post-/mid-battle kiss for perrin and faile later, awww.

all these Rand AU Looks are only highlighting to me the importance of letting real rand remain cleanshaven and relatively short-haired throughout the show lmao i'm sorry to the long romance novel luscious locks rand truthers, but short hair flatters josha so much more!! rand's curls post-travel timeskip in s1 is about as long as it can go for me, i'd say.

futuristic lanfear! i am SO excited to see the pre-breaking forsaken in the glass columns!!!

RANDLAYNE!!!!! randlayne political convos my beloved!!!! oh i am over the MOON!!!!

Supergirl Season 2 episode 8 Medusa review part 2

If your curious part 1 was just my breakdown of Kara and Mon-els relationship that got way too long. But as always SPOILERS AND GAY THOUGHTS AHEAD

Me and kel get so excited when Lenas in an episode. Like practically giddy. I can’t help smiling when shes on screen honestly. And yes Katie McGrath is beautiful, but beyond that such a pretty smile and lovely voice. I’m sure ratings started to spike when she joined the cast. Okay enough about pretty girls on to the review 

Tipsy fucking Alex though guys I can’t get over this mess of a person. 

Alex: if I have to come out to my mom then I choose to do it drunk

Kara: no your not *yoinks beer*

Alex: wait no my coming out juice

Kara Danvers sneaky sneaker extraordinaire can totally interview Lena and find out Cadmus things without anyone knowing. The confidence this goofball has is top tier

Underrated relationship: Alex and Winn though. I really really love Winn and honestly Alex is such big sister energy to both him and Kara. 

wow Lenas pretty in the interview scene. A touch of auburn hair from the sunlight really makes this shot and we never get to see her with her hair down. Fan service honestly, or maybe she heard a certain beef cake reporter was gonna come by and wanted to dazzel her.

Lena: hair up is for business. Hair down is for flirting friendship time with Kara

Poor baby thinks she falls short nooooo. Your doing your best godamn your only like 25 jesus. Kara give her a hug she needs love and affection

Kara thinks shes being so sneaky in this interview. Such a golden retriever, bad at sneakin. As soon as she toes the line Lena catches on and kicks her out. Really good acting in the scene, the subtle change in expression to show Lenas guard raising. Good job Katie.

Real quick Lena why is your office so ugly? How do you keep it clean? You spend 99% of your days in this place and its whiter than a hospital room. I hate it. Why is your desk an oval? and why does it have a hole in it? Kara cant eat you out in secret anymore damn. 

OOHHHhhhh noooo the fucking gas bomb in the bar what the fuck. EVERYBODIES DEAD JESUS WHAT WAS THAT

Poor Mon-el. What happened at the bar was fucked up, and he feels like its fault when its obviously not.

Love that he and Kara are having bro time playing some Monopoly. Oh no not Kara asking if he likes her. Honestly thought these two had good chemistry in this scene. Im a sucker for dumbass not understanding certain words and phrases. So Kara having to reiterate her questions and finally being like “You don’t want to mate with me do you?” was super fun. Omegaverse vibes mfs. Although I am confused by mon-els reaction “I mean have you seen the kind of women I’ve been attracting?” I honestly don’t know what this means.

Kara internal reaction though: Oh thank god

Wow Kara really just has no regard for her own life, huh? she just opens the door and possibly contaminates herself. It’s good to want to help people, but love you gotta care about yourself too

Good reveal with the fortress of solitude. Oof Kara gonna feel like its her fault all those aliens died and mon-els sick. They do a really good job of showing Karas relationship with her parents through their holograms. She wants so badly to see them again, to talk to them. And she can, but not really. They just aren’t real.

Lena cattily to her mother: im used to celebrating holiday weekends alone at my desk

me to Kara: please invite her to thanksgiving

Okay so Lena being adopted is another interesting parallel to Kara. Also the fact that both Kara and Lena fall into there families shadows, and are left behhind or forgotten. Really interesting how Lena and Karas relationship is so similar to Clark and Lex’s for obvious purposes. Though the CW queer coding the fuck out of their relationship in Smallville really only adds to Supercorp fever. Its always been Homoerotic subtext Harold!

Me watching Lena and Lillian trade verbal blows: Wow ya’lls relationship is fucked up. Lex and Lionelle would spar and fence but you two are on another level jesus

oooooof that last line. 

Lena: I know your lying

Lillian: and how could you possibly know that?

Lena: because you told me you loved me. And we both know thats not true

Who wrote this jesus fuck my heart. The PAIN.

Bonus thought Lena thinks Karas smart. Goofball beefcake sneaky sneakster who doesnt know the difference between flirting and friendship is smart she thinks. I love these idiots

Wow Kara just doesn’t wait huh? Oh cadmus is going to be at LCorp? Not on my watch. Lena’s there. I know this because I tune into her heart beat just to check on her cus she likes to work late. Don’t worry Alex it’s for friendship reasons.

That LCorp security guard got princess carried for .2 seconds. Best moment of his life.

God its like dark out. Lenas working on a holiday weekend into the night. I hate this, give her friends.

Lena looks so scared when Kara gets thrown into the giant LCorp sign

And then hurt Kara looking up at her with dread.

Kara internal: fuck don’t come out now. I came here to save you

God I love the protectiveness. Its *chefs kiss*. Hank throwing the beam at Lena and Kara even in her hurt state throwing herself in front of it. Sometimes self sacrifice is gay. But how Lena looks at her after wards like “I can’t believe I’m alive. I can’t believe she chose to save me”. Met with a gruff “Get out of here!”. mm yes this is my kind of content. Fight for me.

I was robbed an aftercare scene but I doubt it will be the last time. (*COUGHS* the “im leaving” phone call *COUGHS*)

Talking about the virus Eliza: what about Lena Luthor?

Kara: What about her?! (super defensive is also a super power maam)

Winn: Luthors can be pretty good actors

Kara: No, I looked into LENAS EYES. She doesn’t know anything about cadmus or her mother

J’onzz: Would you stake Mon-els life on that?

well I guess that really puts Lena and Mon-el right next to each other in priorities huh? Which one is more important? 

Wow Lena totally has a crush on Supergirl after that. Flustered dork. 

Lena: *laughs nervously* you know that doors not really an entrance

Kara: *upsettit stone face pupper*

Lena: :,) 

Okay but the way Lena just says “Anything” all breathless and helpful when Kara says she needs her help. Shes crushin hard

Kara tells Lena her mother is in charge of Cadmus. 

Lena: >:(

Annnd the crush is dead. That did not last long. Really love that Lena has such a different relationship with Kara vs Supergirl though, good dynamic having her reactions so different. Which I believe actually relates as a Clark and Lois parallel? Seeing as how Lois has two separate relationships with Clark and Superman. 

OOf the way Lenas throat bobs with genuine sadness because who she thought Supergirl was is wrong. Shes just like the rest of them. Thinks Lena is just another crazy Luthor. It hurts

Kara: I know what its like to be disillusioned by our parents, but Im a pretty good judge of character, and you are not like your mother. She is cold and dangerous. And you are too good and too smart to follow in her path. Be your own Hero.

Wow just what a good line. They are capable of some things here and there arent they? Melissa's delivery on this is excellent. And the way Katie McGrath is able to show such depth of sadness and bitterness even from a shot of her BACK is really cool. Great acting in this scene in particular. And I can see why the “desperation to be good” is such a highlighted part of these two relationship. Its the one thing in common between Lena and Supergirl, the place where they can meet in the middle. And the way Lena looks after her as she leaves! AHHH thats the good shit, the pining

Okay big Mon-el scene in coming so if you dont want to hear my ranting skip over this part. 

Funny how as soon as Kara has this big impactful scene with Lena full of tension and emotion the writers were like: shit we almost forgot Mon-els dying. 

Kara: *staring sadly back into Lenas office kind of wanting to go back in*

Writers: *cough cough* KARA He’s DYINGGGG

Kara: Oh shit right. Mon-el Oh no. My *looks at poorly written handwriting on her palm* romantic interest?

Wow Mon-el looks like shit, poor guy. Someone swaddle this pillow princess and get him some soup.

Heres a question. Kara is visibly upset that Mon-el is dying. Is it because she’s sad that the guy shes likes is dying. Because her friend is dying? Because her father created the virus thats killing him (what the writers want us to think)? Or because no matter what Kara does the people she loves keep falling through the cracks and shes helpless to stop it?

Her parents. Clark. Her adoptive father. Now Lena. Now Mon-el. Why can’t she ever do anything? Why is it always her fault? This poor kid has some deep seeded abandonment issues

Mon-el: you know you look beautiful with the weight of all these worlds on your shoulders.

I do remember my reaction here, cus I thought this was a weird line. A line that was obviously meant to be romantic and complimentary, but it felt unsettled in my stomach. Coming back and watching the scene it sits even more uncomfortably there. He obviously means well, but this line is kind of just shitty. Its a very selfish and unthoughtful thing to say to someone. 

Kara’s entire fucking life has revolved around other people and making sure they are happy and taken care of. But having “failed” at such a young age to do the impossible things asked of her (carrying on Kryptons legacy, raising Clark) she overcompensates. Any normal person would just make their life revolve around their family and friends, not healthy but it works. But Kara feels responsibility over an entire world of lost people and lives. So the amount she overcompensates is ungodly. She does have the weight of worlds on her shoulders. This is not a joke or hyperbole. Its just her life. And thats so fucking shitty. And to have someone actually see that and acknowledge it. To make it a reality so to speak. Then to have them say “yeah you look good like this” while you’re a shaking Atlas being crushed. It is just a little too much isn’t it? That pain to have someone see you finally, and then completely miss the point. For them to go “oh wow your so strong. your so brave” instead of “let me help you. you shouldn’t have to do this at all, forget by yourself. But now I am here”. 

I imagine this was the scene that crowned my darling himbo boy Mon-Hell? Which is so unfortunate. I hope Im wrong, but I feel that his character might just end up a big missed opportunity

I want everyone to know that me and Kel screamed through the entire enxt few seconds of the scene. We knew the kiss was coming from how they were building it up. But god was it painful, especially for it to be delivered after a line like THAT. But yeah very loud angry screaming

Also not to be that bitch but Kara and Mon-els scene was a total of 1:53 RT, and Kara and Lenas ran at a 1:57 RT. Just sayin...

No Lena don’t be evil thats too sexy...

Okay but the way that Lena just tricks Lillian is so good. Shes so clever. And added bonus she makes her ask for her help, which is nice actually. Lillian's obvious vice is weakness and that is often shown in embarrassment. A woman like this asking for help borders that line of weakness and its nice to see on such a dislikable character. Lena didn’t just get what she wanted she got a point over her mother.

Lena looks good in the purple coat. Repeat she is pretty

Love the mental chess game between Lena and Lillian. Lena offering help right off the bat and giving her the isotope free of charge. And then Lillian making Lena launch the virus to prove herself. Good stuff.

Kara appears: don’t do it Lena!

Lena: why not? im a luthor

Okay so obviously Lena switched the Isotope and the Virus won’t work. But thats what makes this line so perfect. Throwing it back in Supergirls face. Like “Yeah, Im a luthor. And Ill show you what im capable of.” But instead of mass death and destruction Lena saves the day. She saved thousands of lives, and its because shes a Luthor that she was able to do that. Really nice way to full circle that 

Wow Lillian really just starts booking it without Lena, huh? bitch

I really love the scene of the virus falling all around National City. The choice of an orangish snow falling was a really really good one. Paired with some excellent music for the mid season finale.

Its sad but I do love Hank just being ready and at peace with death. Im sure he misses his wife and daughters. 

Okay but Lena calling the cops is tea. Send your mom to jail honey. 

So we’re really not gonna talk about how Lena saved everyones asses? Like don’t you think Supergirl would want to talk to the woman that A) kind of tricked her, and B) saved National City. Thats just what makes sense??? But no we’re going to ignore that the DEO is a kind of shit at their job sometimes. And that the woman that they were accusing of having a part to play in all the xenophobic shit is the one who did their job. BY HER SELF. 

Okay rant over. This was a long one review dear god. Really really good episode though. I enjoyed rewatching all the scenes even if it was a mixed bag of feelings. Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed all the screaming!

How to be an Anti-Johnlocker/Anti-TJLCer

A comprehensive step-by-step guide!

[I’d like to preface this by saying that I’m not trying to target any ships and I hope you have as much fun shipping as I do. My beef is with the ones who unnecessarily keep hating on my ship and fellow shippers.]

[’TJLCer’ and ‘Johnlocker’ have been used interchangeably in this]

Accuse them of being ‘heterophobes’ then call straight Johnlockers fetishists

Say “omg you are delusional!! there is absolutely no proof!!” then ignore even the stuff picked VERBATIM FROM THE SHOW

Say “omg every show doesn’t need LGBTQ+ representation!!” because every show needs 20+ straight couples

Say “omg Sherlock is straight!” although he said “Girlfriends? No, not really my area!” and has never shown any sexual attraction to women

Say “omg John is straight!” because he said “I am not gay” because gay and straight are the only two sexualities in the entire world, and Sholto does not even exist

Tell anyone who reads Sherlock as gay that they are delusional and “omg nooo he can’t be gay! he has always been straight, you just want to see dicks touch” then cry when you get called a homophobe

Say “omg heteronormativity and queerbaiting are myths! I am straight so I obviously know more about what offends the queer community!”

Say “eww stop sexualising the greatest friendship of all time” because we don’t have enough Bro Friendships

Say “omg those Johnlockers send soooo much hate to the cast and crew!!!” and ignore anyone who asks you for receipts

Say “omg Moffat and Gatiss have said it’s not going to happen!!” but insist that Sherl0lly is canon, even though Mofftiss said that after TFP Molly went out and shagged someone and got over it [which is pretty unfair to her character but hey, that’s a conversation for another time]

Say “omg those awful Johnlockers send me hate because I went into their tag and tried to shit on Johnlock and called them fetishists! Boohoo!” 

Say “omg you only hate Mary because she is happily married to John!” when we have literally not even seen one instance of them being ‘happily married’

Say “omg Mary shot Sherlock nicely!” although he literally flatlined and came back to life because ‘John Watson is definitely in danger’

Say “omg John is not in love with Sherlock, he ships Adl*ck so hard!” because when a Bro ships his Bro with a woman, he gets obsessively jealous and literally yells at said woman

Spend all day hating on Johnlockers and posting about "omg TJLCers spread so much hate”

Call them misogynists, then go on about how Molly is such a strong woman because she forces her crush to say ILY to her

Send Johnlockers anonymous messages saying “I am gay but Johnlockers bullied me”

Say “he is straight in the original books!” although there has been a countless amount of analysis done into the homoerotic undertones of Arthur Conan Doyle’s work

Say “Johnlock is not real because he canonically loves Molly! The I Love You was real because he said it twice!!” while completely ignoring the big clock ticking right next to Molly, counting down to her death

Say “the TLD hug was platonic! I hug my friends while slowly caressing their necks and putting my cheek on their heads!”
