Top Gun Nine-Nine

This could possibly be the dumbest thing I’ve ever written. But I kind of love it!

A Robert ‘Bob’ Floyd x Reader with a bit of SMUT because why not?

Based loosely on Brooklyn 99. With the mention of a heist. Thank you to @butaneandthebeast for her enthusiasm with the idea. Fingers crossed you like it! Gonna also use it as a mutual pining prompt that I was tagged in by @coyotesamarchado. I hope that’s ok!

Chocker block full of quotes but not true to who says them in the show, they’re all mixed up between characters. You can still read it if you haven’t watched the show, but it will seem pretty weird!

For this fic I kind of imagined Reader (call sign Mac - because she’s obsessed with Die Hard duh) as Jake. Bob is obviously Amy and Phoenix is absolutely Rosa. Rooster and Hangman are Charles and Gina respectively but are a bit of both characters plus Jake of course. Fanboy and Payback are both Scully and Hitchcock. Coyote is Sargent Jeffers. Maverick is Captain Holt. And Cyclone is Wunch.

Anyway. I hope you enjoy it!

It was 07.29am and the Dagger Squad all sat around pool table at the closed Hard Deck. They had been summoned on their off-duty time for what they assumed was another of Maverick’s bizarre training exercises. The whole team were here, except Maverick, which wasn’t too surprising. But also Bob was yet to arrive, their bespectacled teammate was uncharacteristically late.

“What are you eating man?” Payback questioned Rooster, as they waited for Bob and Maverick.

Rooster chomped down on something colourful looking. Fanboy looked closely at it “Are those gummy bears wrapped in a fruit roll-up?”

“Breakfast burrito, but yeah.” he replied simply.

Phoenix laughed lightly. “I pity your dentist.” she said.

Rooster smiled widely at them; teeth coloured red from his snack, “Joke's on you. I don't have a dentist.”

“Wait for it, wait for it… Boom 0730 hours. Robert ‘Bob’ Floyd is officially late for the first time ever!” YFN called out excitedly as she checked her navy issued watch. “Right who’s got theories?” she asked.

Coyote shrugged and said, “His alarm didn’t go off.”

“Really Coyote. He’s trained to rise with the sun. Plus all three alarms have battery back-up. Any of you fuckers want to take this seriously?” she criticised.

“He slipped in the shower and knocked himself out.” Rooster offered nonchalantly.

YFN chuckled “Super dark Roo. But way more plausible that Coyote’s idiotic alarm clock idea.”

Phoenix smirked and chimed in “Couldn’t get rid of his one-night stand.”

“Yes! Best sex of his life so he went back for seconds this morning.” Hangman drawled, both him and Phoenix making fun of YFN.

She crossed her arms and huffed. Everyone laughed. They all knew that she was not-so-secretly in love with Bob. Problem was, he was completely oblivious to it.

“Whatever Bagman. You and Rooster pull each other’s pigtails all day long trying to get each other’s attention. You guys need to fuck already.” she taunted him in response.

“Oh I know. I look good. I look real good. Rooster can’t help it. All men are at least 30% attracted to me. My father cried on the day I was born because he knew he would never be better than me.” Hangman boasted dramatically.

Rooster rolled his eyes sarcastically, then winked at him. “Pretty sure it’s the other way around. I swear last night, you were the one begging for my dick in your…”

YFN gasped and interrupted the confession.

“What are you gasping in surprise for Mac? You’re the one who suggested it” Coyote guffawed.

“I’m a happy surprised! I’m sorry. It just slipped out.” she replied with a shy smile.

Hangman’s shoulders shook while he laughed “I’m sorry. It just slipped out: Title of your sex tape.” And he high fived his boyfriend without looking.

YFN snorted. And the rest of the team cracked up.

The door opened and Maverick walked in the bar. “Good morning aviators.” he greeted as the team laughed at her.

“Welcome to the party pal!” YFN joked and everyone groaned. The squad were well aware that her favourite movie was Die Hard. There was a reason her callsign was Mac.

“So how are we all? What’s the gossip?” Maverick asked as he joined them at the pool table.

“What’s the gossip?” Who are you?” Hangman stared at him like he’d grown two heads.

“I'm just curious about your life. I like to gab. So, uh, tell me about ... boys.” Maverick said awkwardly.

Rooster cracked a smile. “Well speaking of boys. They all just found out that we’re a thing.” he revealed, gesturing between himself and Hangman.

“Oh that? That’s old news. I must say that it seems to be going better than when Ice and I came out as a couple in the navy. People were not, as the kids say, ‘awake’ back then.” Maverick mused.

“Do you mean ‘woke’ Mav.” Fanboy suggested.

“I did mean woke. But it’s grammatically incoherent.” he said chuckling.

“Okaaay. You caring about syntax is actually more surprising than Hangman and Rooster being boyfriends.” YFN offered sarcastically.

Phoenix smiled widely at the couple. “So tell us. How, what, when?” she probed.

Rooster leant back and grinned like the cat that got the cream.

“Oh my god Roo. You went ‘Full Bradshaw’ on him, didn’t you?” YFN laughed breathlessly.

“Oh yeah. The works. My best Hawaiian shirt, piano serenade, moonlit blowjob on the beach. Poor guy didn’t know what hit him.” he purred as he put his arm around a blushing Hangman. And the group catcalled them both.

“Noice. Maybe that’s what you’ve got to do with Bob, Mac. When you finally get the balls to tell him you like him. Just be yourself.” Coyote offered.

YFN snorted “Be myself? Really Coyote?“

“How long did it take before you guys started liking me?” she asked tentatively looking around the pilots.

“Couple weeks.”

“Six months.”

“Jury's still out.”

“See Coyote! ‘Be myself.’ What kind of garbage advice is that.” YFN sighed crossing her arms across her chest.

Phoenix snickered as she looked at her phone. “Ooooh! It’s 7.36. Bob’s really late now and we still have to guess why.” she reminded everyone.

“Oh. I’d like to play. I’d say he… he misplaced his glasses.” Maverick proposed. “This is fun!” twittered.

YFN laughed at his enthusiasm. “Toit. It is fun! Payback, Fanboy. Your turn to guess. Any ideas?” she turned to the duo who shrugged at each other.

“He fell down a drain… On his way home from the amazing sex he had last night.” Fanboy teased YFN further.

Maverick’s eyebrows drew together in confusion and YFN stuck out her tongue at Fanboy. A tiny part of her also winced at the idea of the bashful WSO being with anyone but her.

Suddenly the door flung open loudly and a flustered looking Bob rushed towards them. “Well, well, well what do we have here? ‘Baby on Board’ where have you been? We’ve been worried sick.” Hangman chided, smirk on his face.

“Yes Bob Bob. Care to explain yourself?” Phoenix questioned with a wry smile.

Bob was less put together than his usual self. His face was red from rushing around, his hair was more curly than usual, and his shoelaces were untied. YFN smiled warmly at him. He was adorable.

“I-I… I’m only six minutes late. It’s… It’s no big deal.” Bob stuttered out awkwardly.

“Lieutenant Floyd. You will tell us, and you will tell us now.” Maverick ordered with a straight face.

Bob looked sheepishly at everyone and murmured softly “I couldn’t find my glasses sir.”

“Hot Damn!” Maverick shouted and slapped his hands together in celebration.

The group burst into hysterics and Bob looked confused and ruffled as he sat down next to YFN. He gave her a small lopsided smile and she practically sighed at it and his pretty blue eyes. She was relieved that Bob wasn’t out all night screwing some woman because she wanted to be with him romantic stylz. She doubted he had any interest in her plus he was a stickler for the rules. And there were stupid rules in the navy about fucking your teammate.

Clearly Rooster and Hangman, and Mav and Ice had chosen to ignore them. Why couldn’t they? YFN thought as she gazed at Bob.

“Ehem.” Maverick cleared his throat to get the squad’s attention. “I suppose you’re all wondering what you’re doing here.” he started.

“The last detachment was rough on us all. So I thought you could all blow off a little steam in a friendly little competition. So I have devised a little game.”

“Like a drinking game? Please not truth or dare.” Bob said anxiously, as he fiddled with his glasses.

Hangman clapped his hands together in glee “Ooooh yes! The last time we did that, Bob got drunk and ended up telling everyone he had a crush on the tea pot from Beauty and the Beast.”

Bob blushed as everyone cackled at him. “You know I don’t drink much. And it's the way they drew her.” he sighed.

YFN rubbed her hand soothingly over his back in support and said “It’s ok. I think Mrs Potts has a lovely voice. Plus I think that was four or five drink Bobby who said that.”

“What?” Bob looked at YFN with baffled eyes. “I'm so confused I don't know what's happening right now.” he said.

"I'm so confused I don't know what's happening right now: Title of your sex tape!” Rooster called out.

“The Bob drunkenness scale.” Phoenix grinned as she held up a finger at a time in explanation. “First drink: Spacey Bob. Two drinks: Loud Bob. Three drinks: Bobby Dance Pants. Four drinks: You become a bit of a pervert. Five drink Bob: You’re weirdly confident. And six drink Bobby is just sad. No one likes him.”

“And don’t forget equestrian Bob or French-speaking genius Bob. Although he doesn’t come out very often.” Fanboy mused.

Maverick shook his head at the team’s idiocy as they all snickered at Phoenix and Fanboy’s assessment of the quietest member of it.

“Dagger squad!” he redirected their attention back to him. “It’s not a drinking game. It’s more like a heist.”

“A heist Mav?” Payback asked, his interest peaked.

Maverick gave them all a grin. “I’ve hidden my lucky leather jacket somewhere in Fightertown and the whoever brings it back here first wins.” he announced.

“But that’s so hard.” YFN whined, and Maverick shrugged in response.

“But that’s so hard: Title of your sex tape!” Phoenix shouted playfully.

“Care to put a little skin in the game?” Fanboy taunted. The suggestion was met with a loud round of groans.

“Care to put a little skin in the game: Title of your sex tape!” YFN laughed loudly.

A deep disappointed voice joined the conversation.

“For the winners of this, might I say stupid idea, there will be no paperwork for a week and Maverick, and I will personally call you ‘Awesome Aviator slash Genius’.”

The squad all turned to see Admiral Beau “Cyclone” Simpson walk towards them with a box. And they all rose quickly from their seats to salute but he waved them off as they were all off duty.

“Sir. If you’re here, who’s guarding Hades?” Maverick quipped cheekily.

Cyclone gave him a disapproving look. “Sticks and stones captain.” he replied coolly as he set the box on the pool table.

“Describing your breakfast sir?” Maverick pushed the admiral further and Cyclone raised an eyebrow in question.

“Ah. Sir. What do we get if we lose?” Rooster asked tentatively, trying to break the weird tension between the two older men.

“This is the prize for the losers. They have to go back and fix all the errors in these reports. And file them into these new binders.” Cyclone said while removing the top file.

“Oooh! There’s binders? Why didn't you lead with that?” Bob giggled excitedly as he picked up one of them to inspect.

“Would you like us leave you two alone?” Phoenix teased her back-seater and Bob turned beet red which caused everyone to laugh hysterically. YFN smiled dreamily at the nerdy, stationary obsessed wizzo and they locked eyes, and she ducked her head embarrassed at being caught.

Cyclone opened a file and attempted to read the report. “Lieutenant YLN’s reports are especially atrocious. It reads ‘Crispy Mouthy Werewolf or Cowboy Mustard Oslo Norway.” YFN winced.

Hangman looked over the file and easily read it “Nose cold. Radar bent at angel 3 sir.”

“You can decipher her handwriting Seresin?” Cyclone asked sceptically.

Hangman hummed “Yes sir. Being able to read it is a gift. A useless, useless gift. Eye roll emoji.”

“What did you just say?” Cyclone questioned, clearly baffled.

“The English language cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts, so I’m incorporating emojis into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.” Hangman said seriously.

Cyclone pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed in frustration. He walked away muttering “Fucking ‘best of the best’ my ass.”

Once the admiral had left Maverick spoke up “Right. Meet back here at 1200 hours. The two foxtrot teams work together. Rooster, Coyote, Hangman and Mac are on the other team. Please don’t fuck anything up around town.”

“Understood Dad.” Hangman said accidently, and everyone burst out laughing then proceeded to tease him.

Maverick: “Do you see me as a father figure, Seresin?”

Hangman: “No. If anything I see you as a bother figure, because you're always bothering me.”

Payback: “Hey, show your father some respect.”

Hangman: “I didn't call him dad.”

Maverick: “No, no. Hangman, I take it as a compliment.”

Bob: “It's not a big deal. I called Phoenix mom once.”

Hangman: “Guys, jump on that. Bob called Phoenix mom.”

Fanboy: “Old news. But you called Mav daddy.”

Hangman: “Hey, daddy is not on the table here.”

Rooster: “Well, you did call him dad, dude.”

”Shut-up Roo! He actually is kind of your dad.” Hangman called out exasperated, as he tried to stop the ridiculous exchange.

Coyote groaned “I can’t believe we have these idiots on our team.”

YFN laughed “It’s going to be fine.”

“That’s what you said about Die Hard 5.” Coyote moaned.

“Oh yeah. It’s not going to be fine.” YFN lamented. “C’mon. I’ll buy you a commiseration yogurt.” she offered.

He nodded his head accepting her suggestion “Coyote loves yogurt.”

Rooster grabbed Hangman’s hand and they started to walk out of the bar. Coyote sighed and followed them. YFN stood next to Bob, and he smiled sweetly at her, his gorgeous eyes shone at her from behind his glasses. God he’s beautiful. YFN was drawn to him and went to touch him to wish him good luck.

“C’mon Mac! Sexy train is leaving the station. Check out this caboose. Later, sluts!” Rooster shouted before she could go through with her plan.

YFN grimaced, gave Bob a shy smile and headed for the door. As she left, she swore she heard Phoenix say, “You two need to bone already.”

……

Around 3 hours later…

YFN, Coyote, Hangman and Rooster returned to the Hard Deck before time was up, completely exhausted. They didn’t manage to find Maverick’s lucky jacket despite an extensive search. A search that ended up with Hangman injured, Coyote grumpy and YFN and Rooster covered in egg.

YFN entered the bar first and she saw the others as they laughed loudly with Maverick. His jacket folded on the pool table. They sounded drunk, so she eavesdropped on their conversation.

“How many times do I have to say it! She’s like my sister.” Bob whined, sounding a little spaced out.

“That’s what Luke said about Leia.” Fanboy teased.

“Hey! Luke didn’t know. No one knew!” Bob claimed and threw his hands in the air.

Phoenix sighed at Bob “Dude, you like her. A lot. You can't go through life trying not to get hurt. You should try to be happy.”

“So you think I should look for someone I can have emotional intercourse with?” he replied earnestly.

“Eww. I wish you hadn't said it like that, but yeah.” Phoenix chuckled.

“I met my wife at an orgy. Well, she was leaving an orgy, and we bumped into each other on the street. Real meet cute.” Payback explained and the others scrunched up their faces at his weird confession.

“What? Well you might have met your potential partner at work. Much easier. You should definitely fuck Mac.” Payback raised his beer in support of Bob and passed him another drink.

Coyote, Hangman and Rooster loudly walked into the bar and gave YFN’s snooping position away. She turned bright red at being caught listening to them. But as Bob noticed her, he blushed a lovely shade of pink too.

“What the fuck happened to you?” Phoenix called out, taking in the state of them.

Hangman limped in wearing a hospital gown as Coyote helped half carry him. Rooster and YFN were covered in egg, and they wore ridiculous t-shirts they’d managed to find in the hospital lost and found.

“It’s like it’s Halloween out there. People are crazy! We passed a woman dressed as slutty tree on the way here. Who wants to have sex with a tree?” Coyote exclaimed, extremely annoyed at their morning.

“Was it a maple?” Bob called out; the volume of his deep voice elevated. YFN laughed at his stupid comment and was rewarded with a blinding smile.

Rooster raised an eyebrow. “Two drink loud Bobby?” he questioned, and Phoenix giggled as she nodded.

Hagman sat down on a bar stool gingerly and grunted when he saw the jacket. “I looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find it.” he complained.

"I looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find it: Title of your or Rooster’s sex tape” Fanboy teased, and Rooster snorted.

“Noice. Well it took Bob all of ninety seconds to figure out it was in Mav’s car.” Phoenix chuckled, and Bob grinned at his achievement.

YFN smiled at Bob. He was so pretty. “Seriously Mav.” she whined at their mentor.

Maverick shrugged in apology “Sorry I kind of forgot to hide it.” And YFN’s team all groaned in frustration.

“No hard feelings. Seriously I hate you. Not joking. Bye.” Hangman scalded him and everyone laughed.

“What the hell are you wearing?” Payback asked, eyebrows raised into his hairline.

YFN had on a hot pink shirt read ‘What’s up beaches?’ and Rooster’s yellow one, which actually kind of suited him, had a pineapple wearing a thong and said ‘SLUT’.

“We got egged. Some of shell got in my contacts, and my hair, and my mouth, and my bra.” YFN whinged.

Payback mused “Can't tell if that's hot or not.”

“Not hot Payback. Egg shell in my bra is not hot.” she chided him.

“Well, it's kinda hot. Boobs go in a bra.” Bob revealed and stared at her chest and high fived Payback without looking.

YFN blushed at his appraisal and Rooster looked confused at his confession, “Wait did he just skip straight to four drink horny Bob? How is that possible?”

The drunk half of the squad burst out laughing.

Maverick shook his head and looked at Hangman concerned. “I heard you got injured?” he mentioned.

“I wasn't hurt that badly. The doctor said all my bleeding was internal. That's where the blood supposed to be.” Hangman replied with a shrug.

Maverick hiccupped and didn’t bother asking for more details. “That’s good. Because my equilibrium is askew. My vision is partially impaired and I’m clearly slurring my words. To put the fine point on it… ya boy’s turnt!”

“What is happening right now?” YFN questioned completely baffled.

“Time to catch up.” Coyote stated simply and walked over to the bar and poured a bunch of shots for them.

……

A short time and a vast number of shots later, YFN, Coyote, Hangman and Rooster had joined the rest of the squad in various levels of intoxication. Fanboy and Payback argued over a single meatball sub they had got delivered. Rooster and Hangman made out in the corner and Coyote and Maverick danced bizarrely to ‘Push it’ by Salt ‘n’ Pepa playing on the jukebox.

Bob and Phoenix huddled together conspiring over something as YFN grabbed more drinks from the bar.

“Hey Mac. Get over here. Quick!” Phoenix shouted out tipsily.

YFN hurried over and smiled widely at them “Hey, what's up? I came as fast as I could.”

Phoenix snorted “I came as fast as I could: Title of your sex tape! Nailed it!” she shouted and put up her hand to high five Bob, but he just gazed at YFN with a dumb look on his face.

“Hey Bob. Tell Mac all that lame stuff about you said about the girl you love? Like how she’s a good pilot, how sweet she is and that she's a good listener.” Phoenix teased Bob, clearly drunk.

Bob guffawed, squared his shoulders, and didn’t blush. Looks looked like he was at confident drink five Bob. “Well what do yooou look for in a partner?” he said as he threw the question back in her face, slurring ever so slightly.

“I don't know, real stuff. Like the shape of their ass.” she shrugged.

“You know Bob Bob, rules are made to be broken. Especially the navy’s ones about fucking a co-worker. The pacific coast commander is screwing Mav. And just look at those two.” Phoenix said motioning to Rooster and Hangman as they practically dry humped in the corner, Hangman's bare ass barely covered by the hospital gown.

YFN snorted loudly as she wondered what happened to his clothes and underwear, he only went to the hospital for a sprained ankle. She turned to Bob and his intense gaze was fixed on her.

“Technically. Rules were made to be followed. Nothing is made to be broken.” he murmured and Phoenix and YFN argued with him by listing things.

“Uh, piñatas.”

“Glow sticks.”

“Karate boards.”

“Spaghetti when you have a small pot.”

Bob took a deep breath, his eyes searched YFN’s. “So Mac. Do you think the navy’s rule can be broken?” he almost whispered.

YFN sucked in a breath, licked her lips, and nodded. Bob was so hard to read, and she was worried he could be slipping into sad six drink Bobby.

He studied her and the tips of his ears turned red. Bob rose out of his seat without a word and walked in the direction of the bathrooms. Fuck he had such a good ass. Phoenix was right about your partner needing a shapely butt.

YFN watched him before Phoenix snapped her out of her blatant voyeurism of him. “So you’re obviously going to go after him, right?” and YFN nodded dumbly at her.

“Right. I never understood why people cared so much about their stupid friends until I got Bob. I've only had him as my back-seater and friend for a little while, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself. Do you understand?” Phoenix said lightly threatening her.

“I understand.” YFN replied, slightly terrified of the petite woman beside her because she was sure she always carried an axe.

“Then what are you waiting for? Go get him!” Hangman encouraged, as he took a breath from having his tongue down his boyfriend’s throat.

YFN laughed. She didn’t even know they’d been listening. “Okay I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna get in there are spread my…”

“Legs.” Rooster sung out interrupting her.

“No! Wings. Spread my wings! Spread my legs?!” YFN choked out.

Rooster shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly “Well either way.”

Well he wasn’t wrong and she turned on her heel and started to walk away. “Good luck Mac!” Phoenix cheered, beer in the air.

YFN quickly moved towards the bathrooms and when she turned the corner, she practically ran in to Bob.

They stood there and stared at each other before YFN spoke. “Ah, should I do this in an accent to undercut some of the awkwardness I’m feeling?” she asked.

“No.” he said simply.

“Yep, good call.” YFN said looked at her feet before taking a deep breath. “You know how you are a real stickler for rules of all kinds…” she started nervously, and she chanced a look at him. He wore a shy lopsided smile on his face and that made her brain malfunction.

“Dat really bums me out maaan!” YFN dragged out in a stupid accent.

Bob raised an eyebrow at her. “Jamaican?” he questioned.

“Yeah, that was a bad choice. I’m much better at German.” she sighed.

Fuck it. “Bobby. God. I-I like you. Like romantic stylz. Shit. I can’t help it! I think your gorgeous and smart and funny and you have a nice butt. I c-can’t stop thinking about you.” YFN stammered out.

A wide grin broke out on Bob’s face. “I really like you too YFN. You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. Inside and out.” he said confidently, his voice filled with tenderness.

YFN let out a long slow breath. He was still five drink Bob. And he liked her! They smiled at each other; eyes full of promises.

“We can just keep it light and breezy for now. See what happens.” Bob offered a suggestion on how to move forward.

“Yeah okay. That sounds good. But how do we do light and breezy?” YFN questioned, a little dazed.

“Ooh. I know a comprehensive set of rules.” he offered energetically.

YFN laughed at his suggestion “How am I attracted to you? Doesn’t matter. I am. Go.”

“Well let’s not tell anyone in the navy, so we can figure out what this is first. Although that might be tricky with the squad. I’m pretty sure everyone knows how I feel about you.” Bob mused.

“And let’s not have sex right away.” he said quietly.

YFN’s eyes bugged out of her head. She was ready to get on her knees and blow him right there now she knew how he felt about her.

“Right. No sex. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. No doubt. No doubt. No doubt. No doubt.” she wheezed.

Bob smiled at her rambling and stepped closer to her, put his large hands on her jaw and lowered his lips to hers in a soft kiss.

The kiss escalated very quickly. He kissed her deeply, his plump lips moved expertly with hers, their tongues tangled, and he worried her lower lip with his teeth. Fuck the boy could kiss. YFN pulled Bob’s body close to hers by the back pockets of his jeans and squeezed his full ass. She whimpered as his hard cock pressed into her belly.

“Screw it.” he whispered, and he dragged her into the bathroom, which thankfully Penny had kept clean, locked the door and pushed her against it. Bob got down on his knees and gazed up at her asking for YFN’s consent, which she enthusiastically provided. He lowered her shorts and panties and went to absolute town on her pussy with his talented mouth and fingers until she was a moaning, quivering mess.

Bob then picked her up in his strong arms and fucked her fast against the door with his hard, thick cock as he whispered filthy things against YFN’s neck until he came with a deep grunt.

“Wow. So, we ah already broke a rule.” YFN laughed dreamily, as she wiped the excess cum off her with toilet paper.

Bob blushed “Yeah. Hope it wasn't a mistake.” he murmured, but with a big dopey smile on his face as he pulled up his pants.

"Hope it wasn't a mistake: Title of your sex tape. Oh! Title of our sex tape!” YFN declared in wonder and blindly put up a hand for a high five which he returned.

They both burst into a fit of tipsy giggles. It was no mistake.

After they tidied themselves up, they exited the bathroom hands entwined and grinned like fools at each other. They turned the corner to find the entire drunken Dagger Squad just outside the entrance to the bathrooms.

“What the hell are you doing?” YFN laughed at the welcoming committee.

Maverick just shrugged and said, “I asked them if they wanted to embarrass you, and they instantly said yes.”

Phoenix smirked “I knew you had it in you Bob. You gave it to her good!”

“Oh my god.” Bob whined and put his hands over his face.

“So Bob and I talked…” YFN started seriously.

“Pillow talk alert! Set the scene. Spooning or face-to-face?” Rooster excitedly requested details.

“Roo. Please. We were in a toilet cubical.” YFN sighed.

‘Spooning’ he mouthed.

YFN ignored her idiot friend and continued “Please just keep this between us. You know Bobby loves to follow the rules. It’s one of the many reasons why I adore him.”

Bob removed his hands from his face and smiled widely at her and she winked at him.

“Toit” Hangman grunted out. “But I just discovered a new drug. It's called ‘your relationship’, and I'm high on it. Love heart eyes emoji.” he giggled.

“Bagman, I'm gonna need you to back off, man.” Bob warned good-naturedly.

“Roger that.” and he saluted him.

YFN chuckled. “So Bobby. I know you were on the heist’s winning team and all, but what do you think about taking the box of files and binders’ home with us…” she said seductively, guessing stationery and organisation was a sure-fire kink for him.

Bob moaned deeply at her suggestion and gave her a passionate kiss in front of the whole team. He grabbed her hand and quickly dragged her towards the box on the pool table.

The rest of the team laughed. Mavericks fucked up training exercise had obviously come to its conclusion, so they got ready to disperse as well. YFN barked as Penny, who had been at the Hard Deck for who knows how long, gave them all an angry stare at the mess they’d created.

They helped clean up of course. The squad would never disrespect Penny. After they were finished, Maverick said to her “I gotta go.”

Penny, hands on hips, asked him “Aren’t you forgetting something?”

Maverick looked incredibly confused but gave her a kiss on the top of her head.

“No! Pay your bill you idiot. Damn. Who raised you?” she chided and shook her head admonishing him.

The group dissolved into a round of hysterics as they got ready to walk out the door and leave Maverick with the no doubt massive bill.

YFN looked at Bob who had the box in his eager hands ready to leave and she got down on her knees. “Hey Bobby. Will you go on a date with me?” she asked sweetly.

He snorted “Yes Mac. Of course I will.”

“Did you hear that? He said yes! He said yes!” she squealed as the Dagger Squad cheered.

As they stood outside the Hard Deck waiting for ubers, Rooster looked at the time on his phone and whined “Darn it. I had a belly dancing class. It was Egyptian undulation.”

“Oooh, show us some moves.” Hangman said, and encouraged his boyfriend.

“Sure.” Rooster replied excitedly and thank god their uber arrived right then and there, it saved them all from being a witness to it.

Sweet, helpful Bob left to help Coyote and Phoenix into their transport as YFN and Maverick looked on.

“Hey Mac. Do you want to know what I did on the weekend?” he asked her simply.

YFN looked confused and shrugged “Yeah, sure.”

“I was hula hooping. Ice and I attend a class for fitness and for fun.” he said pointedly.

“Oh. My. God.” she breathed in surprise.

Maverick got out his phone and showed her photos of him in lycra, spinning a rainbow hula hoop around his hips. “I've mastered all the moves. The pizza toss, the tornado, the scorpion, the oopsie-doodle.” he offered candidly.

She looked at him in wonder “Why are you telling me this?”

A twisted, smug smirk overtook his face “Because no one will ever believe you.” And he proceeded to delete the photos from phone.

As Maverick walked away and left her in the carpark, YFN’s jaw dropped. Their mentor with his weird training exercises and well-hidden taunts, was a sly fucker.

“You sick son of a bitch!” she called out. And he gave her a signature grin and flipped her the bird.

⚠️MWIII CAMPAIGN THEORY⚠️

read this with the dead sea amount of salt.

OKAY SO, today me and @cssndra-cain were discussing the video Inkslasher had posted just a couple of hours ago, and in it he said something that made us holt every single thought we had for the MWIII campaign so far.

firstly lets talk about the gameplay trailer, in it we see; a group of soldiers stealthily infiltrate a prison; gulag if you will (I’m pretty sure it is THE gulag but take it as you will), and during the mission we hear several voices and one of them we can recognize as Gaz, and someone else that sounded like Soap maybe? from the BRAVO team that was landing with parachutes. and maybe a new character that could be Roach? (we could only hope). also there were American accents as well. knowing the history this is a stretch but there was someone (maybe I was tripping because I'm in Warren Kole fever but) who sounded like Graves. I could 100% be wrong and i'll take it like a champ don't worry. But! @cssndra-cain brought to my attention that, during the whole mission, we don’t hear Price ONCE.

put your tinfoil hat on

it’s a bit strange isn’t it? we go on this big ass, stealth mission like that, without hearing Price once? we know Price LOVES to do these kind of missions first hand, he's not the type to sit still back in HQ and give orders. Something is not adding up...

now back to Inkslasher’s video, just bare with me a little. don’t worry I'm getting to my theory soon. he was talking about the intro mission gameplay we saw yesterday at gamescom ONL. and in video he says that the "rescue" team that we, as players, are not 141, but an elite PMC that is holding a nighttime raid at Koni held prison. People who participated in the unknown caller easter egg couple of weeks ago, received another text yesterday stating this;

he was thinking, maybe it's not 141 but shadow company because of the "PMC" in the text. it could be shadow company but, we've learned that they are not the best at doing their job properly and how incompetent they can be. (we've seen how Shadow Siege event went.. yikes)

but what I think is will be at the end, continue reading if you want to know ;)

since it is a Koni base, and a prison, that means it is not Makarov (who is the leader) that is held in the prison. why would he be held in his own prison? and why would we go to rescue him? it does look like a rescue mission because, it's a Koni base and prison, we see the player killing Koni soldiers and they speak Russian. they are definitely the enemy.

here comes the twist, who is being held in that prison, and the elite PMC trying to “rescue”, is none other than our beloved captain John Price. Hence the mission name being Operation 627. now if you didn’t know this before, 627 is John Price’s prisoner number, from when he was held captive in the gulag during OG MW2.

Screenshot taken from the wiki.

also Barry, being the sneaky bastard he is, posted this in his story yesterday :)

i hate him (affectionately)

now based on everything above, it got me thinking REAL hard. Just to be clear, this is just my theory, nothing solid or confirmed, a mere THEORY, that resulted after taking in all the info we got today and yesterday and talking with @cssndra-cain.

in MWIII we will be playing as 141, that is 100%. But it will be half flashback and half present time. Now how did Price get captured to begin with? That is, what I believe, what we will be discovering during the campaign. And we will be playing it until Price is captured and saved. Then from there on we will continue the hunt for Makarov with Price back as our captain.

and the rescue team in the Operation 627, are indeed 141, but they are collaborating with shadow company or maybe they made their own PMC, who the fuck knows. all I know is that, I hear Soap, Gaz and Graves. it's a mess of a theory but it's something.

there is a lot of shit going on in my mind, and this is what I barely managed to write down cause I can't find the words. If my vocabulary wasn’t so fucked up because of my adhd I’m sure I would’ve written a longer well put theory.

NOW, if I am wrong, I will swallow my words 100% and wear a clown wig for a week playing this campaign. ultimately there's no harm done tbh.

BUT! If you choose to believe this theory, then it’s your own fault lol. Don’t get your hopes up, because this is not a leak or from Activision themselves.

this is me to Mari trying to explain my theory to her lol

what do you think some of the b99 characters opinions on glee would be???

jake peralta - it would be his guilty pleasure. he would secretly adore the show but would never be caught dead watching it publicly. he’d care most about blaine and quinn and would empathize w them most due to their issues with their dads. every burt and kurt scene would make him cry. he would also die hearing santana hear mine given that he's a canon swiftie :)

charles boyle - he is canonically a gleek!! he likes sam enough to remember who chord overstreet is, 5 years after glee ended, and I think it's bc sam reminds him of jake <3

rosa diaz - rosa has never heard of glee, but her alternate personality emily goldfinch - the super chatty and smiley one - loves the show and chats about it to her book club friends. rosa is a diehard santana/quinntana stan.

terry jeffords - terry would unironically love that shit. he loves all the characters, has all the songs memorized and ships all the couples hardcore - especially klaine and brittana. once his daughters are a little older, he watches it with them.

captain holt - holt doesn't seem like the type of person to enjoy a show like glee, but I do think that he would really like kurt. he would be really impressed by kurt's storyline in s1-2 and would feel angry about everything the show put him through later on. he would also enjoy santana's coming out arc, but wouldn't be too interested in either klaine or brittana. still, he'd be happy that the show ended with both major gay couples getting married.

amy santiago - her favorite character would probably be mercedes, and I believe she'd like rachel for her ambition and type-a personality. she would be torn on santana bc on one hand, she would love that glee depicted a strong latina woman, but on the other hand she's not a fan of santana's meanness. she's generally not a fan of any of the other 'bully' characters. she would also think that tina deserved better.

gina linetti - she would be an UHT and mike stan and would hate almost everything else. 'the UHT carried the show' is her motto and she'd spend her time making snarky comments whenever anyone else, particularly schue or rachel, is onscreen.

hitchcock & scully - they would discover the show by accident and would end up watching it out of curiosity. they don't have any favorite characters bc they're too lazy to follow along with any of the storylines, and scully just loves it for the singing. hitchcock, being the devoted husband best friend that he is, would try his best to score scully an audition for the show, but he fails bc he ends up on scam sites every time.

#ty anon!! this was really fun 🥰#if anyone else wants to send in any b99/glee asks then please do <3 #evelyn answers stuff

Wednesday 17 August 1836

8 ¼

no kiss fine morning but dullish and windy and F59° at 9 ¼ - breakfast - Abraham Holt and William Parkinson came at 10 - A- paid the latter for fixtures and received his rent (for the Travellers Inn) from 1 May last to 1 September next and thus settled the matter - they had not been gone when Mr. Washington came - A- mentioned having settled with Parkinson and read him (SW-) the copy of Mr. Lister’s letter to Captain Sutherland as received from Mrs. Sutherland on Sunday - SW- thought if Mr. Lister left his house, he would not be recompensed for what he had laid out - i.e. £120 - £38 allowed at the time out of rent - I said the best way would be to get some indifferent person to value Mr. Listers premises, and then to see whether the value of rent above what he has paid in rent since 1831 (now 5 years) added to the allowance would not be very nearly recompense, if not quite - he has had the premises for £30 per annum A- paying the 5 or 6 pounds per annum taxes.:. he has had the premises for £24 or £25 per annum - are they not worth £45 per annum the tenant paying taxes? - when I said ‘then Mr. Washington, you do not think Mr. Lister recompensed!’ - W- answered ‘I will consider about it’ - at the Lodge and with the workmen out from about 11 or after till the men went to dinner when A- came to me - walked with her in the garden perhaps about ½ hour - felt weak and tired - sat with her while she had a glass of wine and a biscuit - then at my desk calculating the worth of Lower brea, and expense to be incurred at Hill top till out again about 3 - Robert + Wood, Matthew and Jack at wheeling soil or to the Lower fishpond embankment till after drinking (4pm) then took them all off to help John Booth and Sam at dressing up the strawberry bank between middle garden door and the rocks - Booth + 3 masons at the west tower - no mason at the house or outbuildings - Robert Schofield and Joseph Sharp riddling sand at the Lodge gate - Frank fetching rag-troughs from Hipperholme quarry for Booth - found fault this morning with the plasterer’s lathing for underdrawing at the Lodge - Benjamin Fletcher and his friend Mr. Flather came at 5 ½ and staid till 7 5 pm - long and useless talk, for I had made up my mind and would not give in - Benjamin F- liked to have new house and barn but thought I should make him an allowance for pulling down the 3 old cottages - begged hard for my taking off 50/. and letting the rent be £52.10.0 instead of £55. at last I was ‘very stupid there was no bargaining with me’ and I told him he was very right - he had pothered me long enough - I could not stand it much longer and he must make up his mind either to take the farm on my terms or let it alone - at last, he agreed - I am to build a new barn, and new house with 2 rooms on a floor - to clear out the water place and put down a pump, and divide the 9D.W. field into 3 - he thought Mark Hepworth was laying too little lime on the field - hardly 2 dozen per D.W. wanted 2 ½ dozen per D.W. to which I agreed - I went out for a minute or two to ask John Booth how much lime my uncle used to lay on a D.W. - could not find John - but agreed to the 2 ½ dozen and said if I could leave one of the old cottages and have room enough for the new building I would - heartily tired of this long talk - dinner at 7 5 coffee - A- read her French - with my aunt from about 9 ½ to 10 ¼ - having read the newspaper - then wrote the above of today till 11 at which hour F52° fine day - letter tonight from Mrs. Wilmott ‘Chedesden’ near Derby - very good character of Sarah Whiteley

so you're a geeky teenager in the early 2010s and you make a tumblr and back then everyone was always going on about supernatural, right?

so you watch supernatural. the last great american queerbait.

(you're not stupid and you're from the reddest part of your red state. the best you dared hope for in the finale was dean and cas alive and some subtle parallels between them and sam and eileen and they couldn't even do that.)

but truthfully, you had learned your lesson long ago, and you had learned it fast:

ship all the queer ships you want, rub your greedy bad bi rep hands over every character you want, but don't expect anything. don't give anyone power over what's canon in your heart.

your belief in this only grows stronger over the years, as you see it happen in fandoms you didn't go to - merlin, teen wolf, so many animated shows)

(not you legend of korra you're an angel and we're lucky to have you)

you saw it happen in ships you could not fucking understand why anyone was shipping in the first place (cough cough johnlock)

you saw it happen in the mcu again and again and wondered why nobody else seemed to learn the lesson.

it's not that there are no shows with queer relationships of course. it's just that most are very upfront about it or leave it vague enough that anyone with heteronormative lenses on doesn't pick up on it. nobody waits 7 seasons to float the idea an assumed-straight character might be bi.

you thought were prepared for star wars. so busy believing they wouldn't do a queer relationship but hey at least the resulting het relationship would be great. and then they did fucking reylo and you realized you can't even bet on the right het ships as you recall disney also wouldn't even follow through on clintasha.

so when you start watching another show tumblr's pretty hype about you don't expect nothing. like the canon relationships are great, and while you enjoy the fandom ships and queer heacanons you don't expect anything else. especially because the show has queer characters and relationships, they aren't afraid to go there they're just choosing not to with certain characters and hey, that's fine.

and then you catch up on the new season and that one supposedly straight dude IS KISSING ANOTHER DUDE WHAT THE FUCK I COULD'VE BEEN BETTING ON THIS THE WHOLE TIME I CAN'T EVEN USE CAPTAIN HOLT VINDICATION GIF BECAUSE I WAS SO SURE THIS WOULDN'T EVER HAPPEN.

#behold: my thoughts #no but seriously WHAT THE FUCK #CHARACTER EXPLORING HIS SEXUALITY LATER IN LIFE?? ON MY TV AND NOT MY AO3??#i need to go lie down

i’m

just going to ramble about my favourite side characters because i’ve been making family trees on the warriors oc wiki for 2 hours and i need to think about something other than code

by side characters i mean like. just not blaze, rooster, or hope

snakestrike (minor supporting character)

he’s a wife guy. his character traits are that he loves his wife and his kids. he has made a band with the other dads in the clan and they terrorise the apprentices + firebreeze with dad jokes. he’s very supportive of his kids but he feels a little sad watching his son be fully trained by slashstar when his brother died before he could get his warrior name. he feels a little distant from blaze, like she’s always trapped in a bubble and he can never quite connect to her, but any worries he has about her are negated by all of the social safety nets thunderclan has set up.

snakestrike often took care of roosterkit and blazekit in the nursery while hopebringer was off doing deputy work, he tries his best to be involved in his childrens' lives. meanwhile he still keeps up his old rivalry with juniperswipe, and he is one of juniperswipes main confidants within his conflict with flintwing. this is a bit of a cause of tension between snakestrike and hopebringer as she is flintwing's closest friend, but theyve agreed not to talk about the issue to each other.

flintwing (minor supporting character)

she was the youngest queen in the nursery, but her kits are older than both hopebringer and acornspots'. as an apprentice she fell hard for the slightly older juniperpaw, and she spent a lot of time trying to get him to go out with her. once they were warriors they became mates. flintwing uh felt really disconnected from her siblings. wolfclaw and owlflight were both hailed as the clans best fighters, flintwing not so much. she felt like a failure compared to them, and rushed into having kits to prove something to the clan.

now that tigereye and willowshade are both warriors, her marriage has been a rocky, with her and juniperswipe constantly finding themselves disagreeing over everything. flintwing tells her issues to her siblings and friends, but they can provide little advice and flintwing fears that she and juniperswipe will split up.

slashstar (major supporting character)

he was born during the start of the thunder-shadow war. his parents were a shadowclan warrior and a thunderclan warrior. their relationship caused the war to escalate, and both sides argued for days about what to do with slashkit and his brother hollykit. they spent a few weeks being passed around both camps, until it was agreed that one kit would stay in one clan. slashkit was given to thunderclan, and was mentored by the leader’s daughter as a way of keeping an extra eye on him. slashclaw was a model apprentice and warrior, never showing any signs of disloyalty or conflict towards shadowclan, even if he internally missed hollysnarl a lot.

slashclaw moved up the ranks quickly, meeting and falling in love with a former barn cat, firebreeze. (i imagine their relationship to be similar to that of captain holt and kevin from b99) and he was happy to be entrusted with his first apprentice, stagpaw. at the same time firebreeze was given hopepaw as his first apprentice. they would often train together and slashclaw was happy despite the still ongoing war.

about 3 months into the apprenticeship, a patrol slashclaw and stagpaw were in got into a battle with a shadowclan patrol. stagpaw was killed by the shadowclan leaders son, gingerthroat. while slashclaw was trying to get his body away from the battle, gingerthroat went after slashclaw. both were heavily injured, slashclaw leaving the battle without an apprentice and an eye. gingerthroat died from infection of his battle wounds days after. slashclaw was deeply depressed after stagpaw died, and his death continued to affect slashclaw years into the future.

almost two years later, slashclaw stepped up as a foster father for eaglekit, who had been abandoned by her shadowclan father and windclan mother. they were close when she was a kit, but when he was her mentor he doubted his own skills so much that he was incapable of mentoring her, too caught up in how his last apprenticeship ended. he ended up burning his bridge with her, and they don’t even talk anymore, despite eaglesight technically being a part of his family.

tigerdapple retired, and eaglesights recent graduation made him eligible for deputy. to his surprise, bravestar chose him as the new deputy, and he found out later that hollysnarl had been chosen as shadowclan deputy after the death of the old one. slashstar felt like he didn’t deserve it, but accepted the position regardless. bravestar died soon after and slashstar was finally able to negotiate peace between thunderclan and shadowclan. hollysnarl also became leader of shadowclan not long after.

when snakestrike and hopebringer had kits, slashstar already made his mind up on mentoring one of their kits. roosterkit was the spitting image of snakestrike, but slashstar could pick out little pieces that looked like stagpaw. he saw it as a second chance. slashstar was favouring and overprotective of roosterpaw, unnecessarily praising him and touting that roosterpaw would be the best warrior of his generation. an observation not entirely untrue, as roosterpaw showed promise, but not appreciated by the other apprentices.

Amatakka - How to Write in the Tattooine Slave Language

For anyone not running in these particular fanon circles, Amatakka is the fake language of the star wars slave people, Amavikka, like Anakins family at birth. It was originally made by @fialleril, adapted by a whole lot of fan authors like @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning, and grew a life of its own from there.

It has a community dictionary with several hundred words, (https://at.tumblr.com/booklindworm/amatakka-dictionary/0dvnmuhlusq3) and a very basic phoneme dictionary (https://conworkshop.com/view_language.php?l=AMAT ), but absolutely no script, other than the vague idea that it'd be written in the Tusken script... which also does not exist. This is my attempt.

(The conlang fundamentally can't be separated from the slave experience, if anyone is disquieted and wants to step off. The way canonical star wars treats slavery is... weird at best; this is supposed to be a language of empowerment. I'll link some folktales at the end!)

In spite of being a communal conlang for an oral language, and my linguistics training being... sporadic, and mostly based on what helped me pick up my current four languages, and two pick-and-drop-and-pick-again languages.

I'd start with something like the inuktitut script (https://youtu.be/xW4hI_METac ). Amatakka is very polysynethic, and the idea of basing my script cataloguing an extant language off of another script cataloguing an extent language tickles me. But a lot of sounds have a specific cultural meaning that is used almost every single time that sound is used in the entire conlang. (Which is desperately impressive, considering it was primarily created by one author, extended by another, and then absorbed into damn near every fan work concerning Tattooine, but I digress.)

For that, i'd use something like Japanese's mixture of three writing systems: kanji, complex and symbolic pictograms; katakana, phonetic representations of loan words; hiragana, phonetic representations of original Japanese words.

In my Amatakka script, I'd put certain heavily symbolic sounds, like ur (wrong) ama (mother, heavily connected with their main goddess) and ani (rain/freedom) into 'kanji', which allows them to be represented as a concept even if the pronunciation changes a little (ani as raindrop and an- as rain, anumakkar as rainstorm, all symbolic of freedom)

Then, I'd put the remaining sounds in an inuktitut based system of syllables, based on the conlang dictionary of phonemes and an analysis of the Google sheet collection of amatakka words.

A system like this seems to fit the language we have well, which would make sense as - both in Canon and in fandom - the words came first, then the writing down of them. Multiple 'kanji' with one component being the same could represent different words, like how levrukka and er-amma are both names for ar-amu, and 雨、雪、電 (rain, snow, electricity) all contain the same radical. (There are probably better examples from folk more fluent in Japanese than me).

Example of this in practise, Depurekta, a slave who enslaves others. This is made of dep, chain, plus ur being something like twisted / wrong-but-less-morally-judgemental, which together is the word for slave owner, plus ekta, healer, one who heals the chains that bind.

Lets look at just that ur in the middle. It appears in japur, a scraggly and twisted native tree where ja- is being native to tattoine; also in kotovur, skin hunger, where ko- is mere skin contact; kusur, sarlacc, where kus- is nourishment; murek, a purple that also symbolises wealth and otherness, where me- is you, yourself; nuro, judge, where no- is son <twisted son who cooperates with slavers judgements>; tovur, starvation, where though we don't have a translation for to- specifically we have torazu and toris, both forms of edible seed; urs-gillig, a tusken relic cave, where I imagine gillig is a regular cave.

This said, when placed inside larger words, ur loses its symbolic meaning, eg shursu, root or foundation, where shulku is suitability; suru, puddle, where sudu is spinning/whirling air movement; kurra, strengthening food where ku- itself is nourishment; kurio, with the same root, appears more in line with ur as a symbolic sound.

(The third person pronoun tur has interesting connotations in this model, but I digress.)

So! Depurekta would probably be fully kanji, with ur being one radical in the kanji for depur, since that's such a key word for the amavikka people.

Kotovur, skin hunger, would have that ur kanji after an inuktitut style descriptive of its first two syllables, with ko- possibly getting its own kanji, as it is also used in words relating to skin contact with less desperate connotations.

Murek, purple associated with otherness, would probably be entirely inuktitut with the kanji in the middle.

Perhaps the system would, in the interest of becoming compact, turn into a hybrid model, with the symbolic pictogram in the middle and small lines off of it representing the inuktitut syllables, so that the whole word could be compressed small and hidden. Amatakka is an oral language, so any amount of writing they do have is likely to be hidden and special, like japor snippets or carvings worn close to the heart.

I am NOT planning on fleshing out the entire writing system, because that would take either hours of manual labour or an understanding of how to make a database spit out the symbolic sounds in words, both of which are not possible for me right now. I MAY write some of my favourite words, after my exams. I only have experience with the celtic and romance language families, barring a spattering of Greek, my Japanese, and English as my native tongue. I'd love to see someone else try and puzzle out how to write in amatakka; this is my attempt.

And, for those who are curious, the folk tales promised - I absolutely recommend a deep dive!!

Okay this is all very random, but I just finished Brooklyn 99 for the 2nd time this month (yes I know copoganda shit LET ME LIVE IN A SIMPLE FANTASY WORLD OF GOOD POLICE, BAD CRIMINALS, AND FOUND FAMILY OKAY) and I NEED to rant about it. I'm just gonna point out my favourite relationships in the show (not in order)

- I LOVE Jake and Holt's relationship. It's mentioned jokingly throughout the series, but Captain Holt really is the father figure Jake so desperately needed. When the series started, Jake was an immature manchild who would eat candyburritos for breakfast, be in crushing debt due to barely understanding how bills worked, and who ran on complete impulse at all times. Having gone through his parent's messy divorce, his dad being Da Worst and his mom seemingly absent, he had few people around to show him how to be... a functioning adult. And then Holt comes in. Already fully grown up to a comical degree, married, captain of a precinct, overly interested in classical music and globe collecting. Yet, he too had had his struggles, being a gay black detective in the 80's and 90's was hard, and we can see how hardened and serious it made him. Throughout the series, the two constantly put their back into helping each other out of bad situations, for no other reason but because they care about each other. Holt gives Jake advice and guidance, an example, but Jake also forces Holt to have fun, ending in Holt even cracking jokes sometimes, and also forcing him to face more emotions, like when he made the captain talk to his mom, or during fights with his husband. In the last episode, Holt tells him how he heard how Jake could deduce any case, except the one about growing up, and how, if he'd had a son that turned out the way Jake did, he would be very proud. That genuinely brought tears to my eyes...

- One of the few couples in anything life action, Jake and Amy. I won't dive too deep into it, but ahg they are the best. Sure, in the beginning it was the classic 'pulling pigtails is flirting' tactic, but even then all the teasing is genuinely friendly, like yes Jake might make fun of Amy, but it never crosses a line, and he's overall genuinely supportive and trusting of her. Even when he starts to like her while she's dating someone else, he's honest about everything without it ever making it her problem. I love how when they finally start dating, their characters don't change much. You know the trope of 'high strung woman needs to find a man to go loose'? This show says no and instead makes it that every nerdy type A thing Amy does is actually something Jake (and the others) like about her, in the same way that Jake can still be a goofball with her and still make it feel like they fit. I love how much Jake is willing to sacrifice for her, how it pushes him to grow, how they're always honest with each other, how Amy starts using Jake's catchphrases casually, how they make an effort to understand each other's interests. Their wedding was amazing, and having watched it as many times as I have, I sometimes notice them wearing identical rings, even in episodes where they're split up and don't interact, it's just casually there. I was genuinely invested in them wanting and eventually getting a kid. And then at the end, when Jake decides to be a stay at home dad to be with his ' little buddy', letting his wife now chief be their main income, sure its progressive, but it doesn't feel forced, it really fits in their arcs. It was so cute how they constantly reaffirm that they're a team together. It's just so cute bro, I want them to be my parents, please give me healthy standards for relationships!!!

- Also, Amy and Rosa are best friends!! There's one episode in the beginning where Amy tries to compete with Rosa over something, and Rosa tells her to quit it, they're the only female detectives around, they gotta have each other's backs. And they DO!! during one of the heists, Rosa joins on Amy's team and is all ready for all her dorky overpreparing, when Rosa gets impulsively married within a week, she counts on it that Amy can throw it all together in the short time. There's an episode where the two of them catch some criminal together, and it is so cooool!! And then in that last episode, how they cling glasses and say 'I'm glad I could spend my time here with you' before saying some genuine 'I love you's' in a completely platonic but such an important way. It just feels so genuine, how Amy so clearly admires Rosa's strength, and how Rosa's as tough as she is, yet still has that clear soft spot for Amy.

- Also Jake and Rosa! their episodes together are usually the best when it comes to the cases. With others, it usually centers around the relationships, but Jake and Rosa are so passionate about being detectives, the case is the core, through which they then learn some emotional lesson and connect. I love how they've been friends for years, yet it's never even considered that one could have potential romantic feeling to the other just because 'boy and girl'. They're just completely platonic and seeing them work and support each other is always amazing. I loved how supportive Jake was of her when she was coming out, how they're always super supportive of each other. And then in the last season when Rosa leaves the police to become a PI to investigate police brutality, while jake himself was still with the police. I loved how they handled the conflict between the two, while still remaining friends in the end.

- Also, Rosa and Charles! In the beginning, it was the lame 'guy pining after girl out of his league trope', and I remember watching it the first time and rolling my eyes at it. But then, Charles actually gets over it, and they become genuine friends. Like, they get genuinely close and casually laugh together and support each other and all that. I love how Rosa asked him as a bridesmaid that one time, and whenever Charles calls her 'RoRo'

- Also, Holt and Amy's! Yes Holt is a father figure to Jake, but he's something similar to Amy. At the start, Amy is completely desperate for any kind of validation from an authorised person, and she often tries too hard to please, they sometimes felt a bit one-sided. But over time she grows less insecure and at the end is able to casually have an argument with someone she seemingly worshipped in the beginning. I like how Holt often acknowledges that he intends to mentor her, how he's the first to see her dream of becoming Captain and is all ready to lead her to that, and how much she looks up to him.

- What else can I say, uh... Jake and Charles! I love how much Charles cares about Jake (sometimes a bit too much maybe) and you see Jake being a bit uncomfortable with this at times. And sometimes it seems to be kinda one sided, but then the next the two of them talk it out and we see how much Jake genuinely cares about his friendship with Charles, and it seems that he just has a harder time with casual affection like that.

- Also in the last season, Holt and Kevin!! I'd been waiting and anticipating a Vowel Renewal since that one episode, but I didn't expect a full season long arc of a failing marriage being picked up again because even though things are hard they love each other!! And then Amy and Rosa bringing them back together in the rain!! Holt being ready to give up his job, only for Kevin to say he never wanted him to sacrifice that much, how they're so willing to give for each other. It was so gooooodd!!

- Oh oh!! And PB and J! Pontiac Bandit, aka Doug Judy, and Jake!! The cop and the criminal who promises to help catch another criminal before going to jail, only to slip away himself in the last moment. Their friendship is so good and I understand its a one episode a season deal but Damn those episodes are always in the top and I wish we had more. And then how they ended it, how Jake 'accidentally' gave him a way out of prison after finally catching him.. I died bro. So cute.

All in all, love this show. Watched it at least 10 times. Will watch for another 30 or so!!

So I’ve watched two episodes of Brooklyn 99. The first one was years ago and I don’t remember what episode it was since this was still when the show was relatively new but I didn’t like it or found it funny at all. I concede that it was probably just really bad luck that I happen to check out the show with a terrible episode, but I just watched another episode because I was looking for a clip to use for a video and I ended up watching the season 4 episode “Mr. Santiago”. I have to say it was much funnier than the other episode I watched and

Though while I found the episode funny and that’s really important for a comedy I have some criticisms regarding the writing of the story in it, or stories to be more accurate.

The biggest issue with the episode is that it’s a 21 minute episode split amongst three stories. You have the main A plot where Jake meets the titular Mr. Santiago and tries to impress him. You have the B plot where everyone is trying to have a Thanksgiving dinner and hijinks ensue. And you have the C plot involving Captain Holt lending money to a guy to help him and hijinks ensue. To be honest each of these stories could have a full half hour show dedicated to them, with the A plot easily being able to fill out an hour long episode (which in reality is more like 42-45 minutes). The biggest problem that arises from this format is that while each plot on its own is fine they are crammed together into 21 minutes and none of them have any time for development and end up with lots of scenes that should be happening cut just because there’s no time.

The Holt subplot is the one that suffers the most despite having a really funny idea for it. Holt is hanging out with some guy who’s name I can’t remember that seems pretty unstable. He decides to give the guy a decent chunk of money to help him out, which he immediately blows by betting on a dog in a competition in some sort of black market illegal underground Caribbean dog competition betting organization. Holt is pissed off because his money just got wasted and the guy was so desperate to make money he bet on a dog that Holt didn’t think had a chance to win. So they try to get the money back but it’s already in the Caribbean and they can’t just fly over there to dramatically get the money back. So they go to a bar and threaten the guy there to put on the dog competition so they can watch it and hope that the dog that was bet on did well enough to make the money back, and he wins giving them a huge payout.

Conceptually this episode is freaking hilarious and what little of it is in the episode is pretty decent, though it gets bogged down by the other dude in it being pretty unfunny and his jokes dragging out way way longer than they need to. Holt is what keeps the story afloat tbh. But other than that particular issue it could have really done well if it was given its own episode to flesh things out. Actually show more of the characters, what they’re doing, have Holt and this guy talk more about the situation and give the guy more of a chance to develop. And it would have been much easier to get invested in the dramatic finale where the (literal) underdog wins.

The B plot where Amy gets everyone to come over for Thanksgiving dinner is generally fine and overall pretty funny. The primary drama is that one dude was supposed to get a turkey and decided to get a live turkey to kill there and cook at the house. This raises protest from a couple of the people there and results in them refusing to let them cook the turkey and everyone else tries to get the turkey so they can actually eat. It’s pretty funny overall but could have easily had it’s own episode. The story is simple and carried by the actors and the jokes.

The A plot and what the episode is named after really had the best potential. Despite not having the previous seasons of context I can understand that Jake is meeting his girlfriend’s dad for the first time and since he’s such an anal stick in the mud he’s desperately trying to impress him by acting like he’s more detail oriented and sophisticated than he actually is. This whole story leads into Jake’s secret getting found out, resulting in the two arguing then going on to solve a case from 20 years ago that Mr. Santiago couldn’t solve.

Only a decent chunk of that is offscreen. All of the build up and preparation Jake does is skipped and only explained in dialogue later. Much of their general interactions at the party are shown as quick flashbacks, and even the big dramatic finish where they actually solve the case and arrest the true culprit happens offscreen. It’s only vaguely described after the fact. It’s a frustrating break of the “show don’t tell” rule. You can certainly tell things and explain stuff but when so much stuff is happening offscreen and you just have it described it feels like a waste to even have this plot in the first place. You could have easily had this fill out two entire half hour episodes on its own but it has to share a 21 minute runtime with two other plotlines. And what’s really weird is that despite this supposedly linking directly to the B plot of the episode of a Thanksgiving dinner it feels strangely disconnected, which makes it even more pointless to cram these stories together and give both truncated screentime.

You also had Jimmy freaking Smits in it as Amy’s father. You had Bail Organa himself and his screentime is limited. He’s a fantastic actor who did his role to perfection, nailing both the comedy and the serious aspects of it and seamlessly switched between the tones. He surprisingly also had great chemistry with Andy Samberg, with them playing off each other really well. It’s a shame we didn’t get more of it.

I wouldn’t say the episode overall is bad, but it certainly could have been a lot better.

hey guys angry white boy here to talk about racism, what could go wrong? I saw a post the other day that I won’t tag or anything cause I think it’s for a safe space for black people and that’s not my place? Anyway the post was essentially pointing out that people defend Billy from stranger things and glorify him even though he was very very racist. It got me thinking about how obvious racism needs to be for people to be like “oh that was racist”. Cause so many people are denying Billy was racist, he singled out the black kid and hated him, I think he called him “like that” or “that kind” at one point whICH like how can’t you tell??? But we live in times where people can say that stuff irl and worse and everyone goes “oh it was just a joke”, “oh it wasnt about race”. and that sucks. So I became hyper aware of racist shit I’ve been doing (yeah apparently you can still do that stuff once people have forgotten about black lives matter, shocking I know) and I’m gonna address them. - Avoiding watching media starring black people. I swear I never did this intentionally but when I look at the shows I’ve watched it’s like modern family, the middle, parks and rec, the office, boy meets world and brooklyn 99. While all these shows have some representation, some better than others, you can very easily make the argument that the main character and thus the person the audience is set up to empathise with most is white. And whilst characters like Captain Holt are main characters, I’d say Jake Peralta would be the main character of the show. I grew up watching fresh prince, thats so raven, true jackson vp so it’s not like I had a primarily anti-black childhood either. I genuinely think this is just because I subconsciously think I’d relate more to “white shows” which is stupid and anti black. I say anti black and not racist here cause I’ve recently been watching shows starring latin casts and as I’m typing this I’m realising I don’t know about a lot of asian shows that aren’t anime. What brought this to light is the new show Killing It which looks great, has one of the best actors around in it imo but I genuinely hesitated before watching it and I’m relatively sure it’s cause the main character is black. And that isn’t right but if I don’t admit it then it will continue. -Being hyperaware of my friends that are poc. This one I hate that I do, I’m really trying to see people as people while appreciating their cultures and where they came from but I’m so desperate to ensure that that isn’t always the focal point of our conversations that it does more damage than good. I think this will get better once I hang out with some of my poc friends (genuinely a mix of all different races here hence why im not naming the races but i get that it can sound like i mean the 2 black people i work with or something stupid like that) more and get more comfortable, right now non-white people seem new to me and I think that’s where this is an issue.

Those are things I currently do that I’ve realised are a problem and I’m fixing them. Things I used to do included: assuming people were white unless proven otherwise, spoke over poc especially black people, avoided reading about racial issues, got butthurt over really dumb stuff, assumed poc weren’t neurodiverse or queer (representation matters so much). Oh also just as an ending thing, a lot of this Ukraine support is rooted in racism - let me explain. Supporting Ukraine is important, supporting anybody suffering is important, that’s what being a human is about. However some of you acting like this is the first war and suddenly wanting to support refugees better start applying that same energy to Palestine and Syria and Iraq (yeah damage remains after a war, just cause they aint at war anymore doesnt mean theyre suddenly back to normal). “But if you look at who our enemies usually are...” 1) Racist af. 2) The enemy in the Ukraine situation is Russia and idk bout you but to me they look pretty similar.

There are so many videos on the internet of different animals coming together to take care of the young of a different animal. Because in nature, we’re programmed to look after children. If there’s a kid in need of money, I’ll give them some. If there’s a kid needing to know good adults exist and rescued, I’ll help them. I’d do absolutely anything to help a kid idk, most people are supposed to be that way like tigers and lions and wolves and dogs and any animal you can think of. But some of you won’t help a kid in a warzone because the media you like and the daily mail taught you to be scared of different melanin levels. This was a really long rant but sometimes I think this stuff is necessary, and I think sometimes a guy like me needs to say it cause you dont trust the guys that look different to me.

very few characters actually have adhd in media, and when they do, what people mean by that is just that they fidget a lot, not that they have adhd. the only character with adhd I can think of where I’ve watched/read it and I’ve gone, “oh, this character actually has adhd” is Jake peralta from Brooklyn 99. so, here’s my take on how to write adhd, with examples from Brooklyn 99.

I’ll do the best I can to separate them into three categories; the three things people look for in adults with ADHD, which are rejection sensitivity dysphoria, an interest-based nervous system, and emotional hyperarousal.

I’ll also randomly bold and italicize bits so people with ADHD can actually read it.

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, or RSD

Rejection sensitivity dysphoria makes people with ADHD overly sensitive to criticism, even if they perceive a rejection and there actually isn’t one. Their emotions are also very strong generally. Because of RSD, people with ADHD become people-pleasers and can develop anxiety because they’re so eager to please.

For me, RSD makes me cry an embarrassing amount for any little reason. in your writing, make your characters overdramatic, criers, and/or people-pleasers. They’ll have trouble saying no. They may also be over competitive, as their perceived rejection may include losing.

how does Jake show this in b99? When Jake comes up with a catchphrase and Rosa says it’s terrible, jake is far more hurt than he should be. He hates losing, and he gets overly upset whenever someone says they don’t like him or don’t trust him, etc. he’s also a people pleaser who has trouble saying no.

An interest-based nervous system

An interest-based nervous system includes hyperfocuses and an inability to pay attention. It stems from the fact that we can’t make as much dopamine as neurotypicals. This means that while neurotypicals get dopamine after completing a task, people with ADHD don’t. That means that people with ADHD don’t have any reason to do tasks, especially those they don’t like. This leads to executive dysfunction—people with ADHD will know they have to or want to do something, but they can’t seem to do it. people with ADHD hyperfocus on things that bring them dopamine. I was obsessed with warrior cats for three years. But hyperfocuses can also last a short amount of time—I’ll have a drawing idea in the middle of class and won’t be able to concentrate on anything else before I finish it. this is where our impulsiveness comes from. we can leap into things we think will give us dopamine without thinking, which can lead to injury. We also tend to tell people personal things they don’t want to hear because of this, and don’t have very good boundaries. We sometimes say whatever comes into our head, which can also result in us being rude on accident. Our voices can also get very loud or we can interrupt people frequently because we’re so impulsive. When people with ADHD hyperfocus, they can forget about anything else. I’ll forget to eat if I’m busy reading a Wikipedia article about feminism in the 1850s, and won’t go to the bathroom or drink water either. It’s also important to note that taking away distractions doesn’t help, because we can do things like pick at our skin and daydream—something that people with ADHD do a lot of. Because of executive dysfunction, people can call people with ADHD lazy or irresponsible.

people with ADHD can also be extremely indecisive because ADHD affects our executive functioning, and making decisions requires planning and prioritizing, and task initiation, which are both executive functions!

people with ADHD also have poor memory for important things, but tend to remember random bits of trivia. Poor memory leads to object permanence problems, which means people with ADHD can forget to call a friend back for weeks, forget that they need to read library books in a closed cabinet, or forget that the vegetables they got will go bad. People can sometimes say that people with ADHD don’t care about anything because of this.

people with ADHD can also be prone to depression because of under or overstimulation. Boredom feels painful for people with ADHD. If we’re overstimulated, we can experience sensory overload—if things are too bright or too loud, if too many things are touching us at once—often it’s not because the thing is too intense, but because too many things are happening at once.

We also have something some people call dolphin brain, where we jump from one thing to another. From the outside, it looks really random, but I find that when I’m talking to another neurodivergent communication is generally easier. For instance, someone with ADHD might see a bee at a baseball field and tell their team about the time they saw whales at seaworld because their little brother was also stung by a wasp there. people will see no connection on the outside, but it makes perfect sense to the person with ADHD.

people with ADHD can also be overachievers, either because they hyperfocus on schoolwork or their RSD makes it so that failing at something isn’t an option. people with ADHD can also be very controlling and stubborn, probably because we hyperfocus on something and cant handle it being any different, and any change to our plans can be seen as rejection.

we can also have a hard time ordering our thoughts or doing stuff like math in our head. a lot of the time I number my thoughts like, 1. this reason, 2. this reason, etc. even if theres only two or sometimes I just need the 1. as a transition for my brain. when I don’t write it down or organize it like that it feels like I’m trying to grasp ropes that have been covered in oil (it’s not going to happen) and then my brain gets all jumbled and I have to restart at the beginning. this is probably just me, but it feels the same way when I’m reading long paragraphs of something uninteresting, or even short bits of historical documents because the way they phrase things is really pompous and hard to process.

also, stuff like caffeine calms us down and helps us focus. people who don’t take medication (me) often drink coffee or caffeinated sodas to focus.

another random tip, but if your character with ADHD also is genderfluid or genderflux, they might have a hard time figuring out their gender sometimes, because we can be known to have a hard time putting our feelings into words or our brains will just go, “nope, not thinking about that right now” and move on, which can be pretty frustrating.

people with adhd also have a trait called time blindness, where we have no idea how long something takes and therefore can’t manage our time very well. this often results in us being late or just sitting around the house because we got ready way too early.

we also have something called consequence blindness—we do things and are completely unaware of the consequences. if I don’t brush my teeth, I get cavities. but I don’t think about that when I’m deciding I’m too tired to brush my teeth.

in b99, jake regularly stays up all night solving cases and watches documentaries on random topics. He’s also very distractible—when they’re trying to find the person who sent Captain Holt death threats in the train yard, Jake says he and captain holt should take a train trip together sometime. Jake says that he’ll forget Amy if they don't work together because he’s like a goldfish.

Emotional hyperarousal

This is the only thing people tend to include when writing characters: the fidgeting. People with ADHD tend to need more stimulation than others, so we’ll do things like draw during class and chew on pens.

people with ADHD can also have apd, or auditory processing disorder. we tend to watch shows with subtitles on and may take a second to process what you’re saying, or hear it wrong. The subtitles thing may be partially do to creating just the right amount of stimulation, but if I don’t have subtitles, me and my other friends with ADHD will watch tv with the volume turned up very high. People with ADHD also can have a hard time interpreting other people‘s tone and have a hard time controlling their own. They can be bad at social cues and have poor manners because we don’t pick up on that stuff.

people with ADHD also tend to observe everything or nothing at any given time, mostly based on the amount of stimulation they have—if they dont have a lot in their main task, they’ll need to take in something else at the same time. Likewise, if I’m hyperfocusing on something I often don’t notice anything else, like if someone asks me a question.

in b99, Jake fidgets with things a lot. In the intro, he’s picking up and examining a figurine on his desk, likely because he was bored with paperwork or some other task.
