Billy antis DNI
“We should watch Footloose,” Steve said after finishing his shift at Family Video. Billy had scoffed at first because he didn’t like romantic movies. If it was up to him they’d definitely be watching Nightmare on Elm Street and definitely not because he found Johnny Depp hot in a crop top.
“Didn’t know you were into dancing pretty boy,” Billy offhandedly remarked. He saw Steve roll his eyes from the chick flick section of the store. He also grabbed Reanimator for Max and The Lost Boys.
“Robin said it was good, and I trust her opinion,” Steve grabbed the three VHS tapes Billy was holding and took them to the counter where Robin was waiting. She looked over their choices with a raised eyebrow and took one of the tapes, “Lost Boys? Fitting since Billy looks like a discount David.”
“Buckley I can and will slash your bike’s tires,” Billy half-heartedly threatened while Steve doubled over laughing. Robin mhmm-ed him and she put the tapes on Steve’s account. Billy pouted a little at the fact his boyfriend wasn’t defending him. Steve was wiping away tears and gasping for air, “don’t look at me like that-” Steve never finished the sentence before he dissolved in another fit of giggles.
“You’re lucky you’re cute Stevie,” Billy threw a couple of bags of sour candy onto the counter, “I have way better hair than David.” He chuckled when he heard Robin's fake gag.
“You two are disgustingly in love, stop making me witness it,” Robin slammed the register shut and handed Steve his change out of 20 dollars. Billy barked out a short laugh and said he’d tell Heather that Robin was being mean.
“Heather would think it’s really cool and sexy of me that I bully you two,” Robin reached over the counter for a bag of gummy worms and tore the bag open. Neither Steve nor Billy could argue with that, if anything Heather would encourage more friendly bullying. “C’mon get out of here lovebirds, I don’t wanna see you two being gross in front of my gummy worms.”
Billy licked Steve’s cheek just before they left, just to hear Robin groan.
*******
Billy rummaged in the pantry for some microwave popcorn while Steve set up the VHS player. For someone who lived off of what he could jam in a microwave, Steve did seem to have a pointed lack of popcorn. He heard Steve open the door for the pizza guy and nearly dodged a box of Ritz crackers falling on his head. He cursed under his breath and rubbed the corner of his temple where the box of crackers had attacked him.
“B, the pizza’s here,” Steve called from the living room. Billy gave up on finding the popcorn, slammed the pantry door shut and joined Steve on the couch.
“Only you would get olives on a pizza,” Billy teased his boyfriend a little, laughing when Steve rolled his eyes at him. He took a slice without olives, took a bite and immediately burnt his tongue on the hot cheese. It was Steve’s turn to laugh then.
Billy halfheartedly told Steve to shut up, and snuggled into Steve’s side. Steve gave him a kiss on the forehead as the opening theme to The Lost Boys started to play.
*****
“Ugh I hate that scene,” Steve muttered when Micheal thought David was eating worms out of a Chinese takeout carton.
“Huh? That’s like one of the least gross scenes,” Billy looked up at Steve cringing at the TV screen, watching David slurp up the noodles, not worms.
“Yeah but the idea of eating worms grosses me out, like them wiggling in your mouth? I’d rather eat my own tongue- what are you laughing at?”
“Nothing Stevie, I just think you’re cute when you’re talking.” Steve blushed all the way down to his chest.
****
After The Lost Boys and Terminator, Steve put the Footloose tape in the VHS player. Billy still didn’t know why Stave chose it, he said that Robin recommended it but he was sure Steve wasn’t that into romantic movies. Sure the music from the movie was ok, but a chick flick?
They had finished the pizza by the middle of Terminator and tore through the sour candy Billy had bought at Family Video. Steve left the living room to look for more snacks leaving Billy with the opening minutes of Footloose. He kinda thought the plot was a little dumb, a small podunk town in the middle of nowhere banning rock music and dancing? Sounded like something Carver would get his dad to do.
“Have they got to the part where they race the tractors yet?” Steve came back into the living room with a bag of barbeque chips. He flopped onto the couch next to Billy and opened the bag, popping a chip in his mouth.
Billy put on a faux-offended tone, “Hey! Spoilers!” he topped it off with a hand on his chest. Steve couldn’t help but take the bit, “I thought you didn’t care about chick flicks,” he laughed when Billy made some more mock offended gestures.
They watched the tractor race and then the campaign to have a senior prom at Bomont high after Ariel had told Ren the reason why the town had banned dance. They both yelled at the screen when Chuck hit Ariel. “Fucker,” Billy had mumbled under his breath. The whole standing up for what you think is right felt like an after-school special to Billy, although he did feel for Ariel having an overbearing and suffocating father.
The final dance scene however, is where it got Billy. The pure joy and the lift between Ren and Ariel had his eyes watering again. He had turned away from Steve so the latter didn’t see him tearing up at a dumb movie.
“Billy? Are you ok?” Steve tried to put his hand on Billy’s shoulder but he knocked it away.
“Leave me alone! That shit was fuckin’ beautiful!”
“I am so fucking in love with you Billy Hargrove.”

Hello! Can I have some hc with a protective mama Reader with Naib, Helena and Bane. They are my precious baby. I haven't play this game since season 13 and I miss them so much ahhhhhhh 😭😭. Thank you, have a nice day ❤❤🌷 (sr, my English is not good)
✨ Your English is wonderful dear ✨
[Naib Subedar, Helena Adams, Gamekeeper] S/O Is Overprotective
✨ As a reminder, my works will always include gn!reader unless specified by the requester! ✨
———————————————————————
[Naib Subedar]:
* You had been at the manor for quite awhile now, and were a rather nice person, getting along with most other survivors, and even some of the hunters to boot.
* It was quite surprising actually. You’d walked in the first day with a tough-guy attitude and gruff personality, and you didn’t seem like a very approachable person.
* Then, some survivors such as Victor and Emily started worming their way into your heart. Liam [Lucky Guy] and Norton were some of the first people to offer you a seat at the dinner table, and from then on you were one of them.
* You had scars, though most could tell they were more physical than emotional, from some sidejobs you used to complete for a gang on White Sand Street—robbing people and competing in fights with rivals.
* You quickly learned that most people fought back. Rival gangs always intruded on your own territory, and you were always left on guard, defending the last remnants of your livelihood and your sanity.
* Maybe that’s why you’re so protective over your things. Never letting anyone enter your room, never letting anyone see the pain you hide. Opening up to people enough to make allies, but never enough to show secrets.
* Now Naib…. Naib helped you out a lot. It seemed he understood you, far more than others. For some reason, he was always there for you, watching your back when needed, acting like a shield at times—sometimes literally.
* You never really understood at first, how he seemed to know you so well. From what you knew, he came from halfway cross the world, from Nepal, in India—a child, a soldier, a weapon.
* You guessed his life was rather similar, and assumed he’d come to the manor for quite the same reasons but, it was hard to see through the scowl on his face.
* At some point, you began to recognize the signs, the irritation, the avoidance. You recognized the silence, and the stiffness that came from Naib when he ate and smiled and nodded at their questions. You saw the signs of a brother, somebody just as lost and broken as you were.
* Children in the bodies of adults, forced to live life too fast and too furiously. Damaged and done in, waiting for someone to save them, but too scared to cry for help.
* Unwilling to hurt others again, unwilling to change.
* You grew wary—observant—of him eventually. You joined in more matches with him as teammate, and sat next to him often at dinner. When you noticed he didn’t eat as much, you grunted in concern. When he fell asleep in odd places, you’d bring him a blanket.
* It got to the point where he found out about your help, and tried to dissuade you from wasting your time.
* You never really listened. In fact, your worries only increased. Others might not have recognized, but you saw the signs of fatigue and death written in the lines of his face. You’d seen it every day back on White Sand.
* He gave up on making you give up, tired of attempted persuasions. Eventually began returning the favours—Naib is the type to have a ‘you watch my back, I’ll watch yours’ mentality.
* Everything you’d do for him is returned in kind. It annoyed the rest of the manor to no end because the giving and receiving eventually reached limits unheard of.
* You’d throw yourself on a rocket chair to save him, and next game you’d have your own personal bodyguard tracking your every move.
* He’d never admit it, but he appreciates all you do for him, and hopes you appreciate his efforts in making your life a little better too.
* Though your protective tendencies know no bounds, he hopes you’re a little more cautious with throwing your life on the line for him like that. This is a death game after all, be more careful…. please?
* At some point, the whole manor hopes you two could just get together and kiss it out in some storage closet. If you’re dating, what’s the need to be so consistent in you’re protective tendencies? Then you’ll always be together, which means nothing can ever happen to either of you!
* To be fair, that’s what most of them thought until an incident after the confession, where Naib wouldn’t let you out of the medical ward for a week due to a few hairline fractures.
* Please Naib! Emily begs you to let her use the examination table! You’ve hogged it for 5 days and she needs it to identify the infection spreading on Aesop’s leg! Vera broke her nose! William sprinted into the gymnasium wall and shattered his kneecaps! Please leave!
* You once set fire to a couch because Naib stubbed his toe on it.
* Please stop it you two, Freddy can’t budget for anymore furniture, and we’re fresh out of chairs.
———————————————————————
[Helena Adams]:
* Oops! Oh no her glasses! Aww shucks, Norton knocked them right off her face and onto the hardwood floor. She can’t find them because she can’t see, whatever shall she do?
* [S/o]! Please, she needs your help!
* You come in running with a pair of pliers, five bottles of anti-grease spray, and a box of extra lenses and a screwdriver.
* Oh how wonderful! You fixed her glasses—again—and saved her from the task of shuffling herself on all fours looking for them! Her hero!
* Helena…. praises you to say the least. You’re her best friend, her confidante, her…. big and strong, sometimes dumb partner!
* She adores everything you do for her, and tries equally as hard to do things for you that make your life necessarily easier, though it’s harder with her condition.
* She met you around the same time as everybody else, during your first days in the manor. Really, she didn’t actually know you were there until she bumped into a voice she didn’t recognize and became surprised.
* You quickly learned about her blindness, and made it your goal to form a friendship with her based on your willingness to help her around and get closer to her—she was very kind after all.
* Your protectiveness stemmed from the inherent feeling of a need to help guide and provide for Helena, much like a spouse would… jk, unless 👀….
* At some points, you were berated by her for your incessant protections, most of which made her feel highly dependent, which she didn’t like.
* She liked the feeling of being independent of others and being recognized as an autonomous, capable being. Especially considering what she came there for, it was a blow to her pride to be led around and pushed aside all the time.
* When she revealed these feelings to you, you had surprisingly promised her to cease in most areas of monitoring—however you still consistently check up on her—and settled into the realm of a relationship with her.
* Helena meets somebody who respects her opinions + acknowledges her intellect + isn’t a dingy asshole? Sign her up and slap on a ring, she’s marrying this person (eventually).
* She knows that your tendencies stem from a place of need and want, and tolerates most of them. Deep down, she likes being taken care of by someone who knows she can take care of herself. She really does love you.
* When you’re actually in a relationship with each other, you make sure to watch each others backs, more so you than Helena (because she can’t ‘watch’ per say), but you get the point.
* There was once an incident in a duo’s match where Helena became stranded on the Lakeside Fishing map. The terrain is rough, with piles of fish everywhere, randomly placed boxes and walls, and the barrels are bad enough when they don’t form a blockade.
* Her navigational skills, as good as they are with all her previous experience and staff, couldn’t for the life of her figure out how to move her way around a mess of box paths, pallets, and fishing stands.
* Most other survivors were occupied or dead—it had been a hard match against Jack the Ripper and Guard 26—and she was barred from reaching any form of help.
* So she screamed your name as loud as she possibly could across the map, and ended up attracting the attention of BonBon instead. During those moments where she could hear his clanks and heavy metalloid footsteps stalking towards her, the tick of a time bomb in hand, she heard a screech in the distance.
* A fierce battlecry—you came raging from around a windmill, propelled by William’s football and packing heat with a flare gun. BonBon, now stunned twice, stood there in astonishment, before chasing after you, who had grabbed Helena in your arms, running off at full speed.
* Your stamina bar, indicated by a small tab on your character, was running low, and you wouldn’t be able to run at full speed for another minute or two, having used your ability to buy time. Stopping near a closet, you lean down to place Helena on her feet, telling her to hide.
* Her blood trail was invisible from not actually having run anywhere, and she did as you said, making you promise to come get her when it was safe.
* You gave her a smirk and a small nod, assuring her that you would, before leaning in for a peck on the forehead as you shoved her into the locker.
* If only you could see her flushed in embarrassment.
* Leaving her to fangirl in the locker, you form a decoy in your arms—result of your max rescuer ability—and ran off once more, taking off around a corner just as Guard 26 reached your previous location, chasing after you and ‘Helena’ in hopes of landing two more kills.
———————————————————————
[Bane the Gamekeeper]:
* How does it feel to love a deerman? Good? Okay!
* Bane as you know is a little…. rough around the edges so-to-speak, and he has a lot of edges.
* Once you get around all the hooks, chains, and bear traps, and beneath that creepy-looking deer head of his, he really is such a sweet guy!
* At least you think so. In reality, he still acts like a complete dick to everybody else, and only shows his soft side around you, but that’s because he knows he can trust you with his lands, animals, and secrets! All those others out there only wish to hurt what he—you—have, and he’ll make them pay for it.
* Honestly, in order for him to have fallen for you so hard to have let his guard down around you, you probably would have had to be at your most vulnerable point in life, or a hunter yourself. Like a scared prey animal, uncertain of its future, waiting for something to happen, and somebody to help, or a huge predator, ready to strike out at any moment.
* Once you worm your way into his cold dead heart, there’s no way out for you. He’ll keep you close, as he doesn’t want you to be poached away like his precious animal friends from the past. He knows how cruel humanity can be sometimes.
* When you come to find out about his less-than-kind history, it’s all you can do to pity him. Your sympathy knows no bounds, and you become clingier, though he quite honestly likes it.
* You don’t want what happened to him to occur again, and with all these other traitors and murderers in the manor, you’re afraid of what the others could do.
* You keep to his side a lot more, take walks with him in the garden, and enjoy tranquil picnics from time-to-time on Lakeside. Anything to keep him close to you and away from all the pain.
* Bane can obviously see what your doing, and noticing that your protectiveness doesn’t yet border on the insane, he allows you to continue in your devotions.
* It’s honestly sweet sometimes how you both adore each other so much, even if you know that one day one or both of you will have to leave. Whether it be through death, disappearance, or another means such as escape is a question of time, and one that neither of you know the answer to.
* If you’re also a hunter, than both of you know that while you two are happier now than either of you were in life, that your individual deaths and worths will eventually determine your fates—whether that be a happy afterlife, or an eternity of endless wandering.
* It’s well known that you’ll both disappear the day the game ends, your souls being put to rest as they should’ve been however long ago. Until then however, you’ll continue to hold on to and vehemently protect the relationship the two of you have, and you’ll fight until your soul vanishes from the earth for what you have to remain that way.
* Now, if you’re a survivor, this is where the relationship can be a bit difficult.
* Avidly defending the actions of your boyfriend during and after a match to the rest of your survivor buddies isn’t a very good look for you, or your reputation. It’s been many times where you’ve almost been chased out of the dining room because somebody was pissed at you for costing them the match, or being the only one spared instead of convincing Bane for a win or tie.
* As they say, if you can’t beat em’, join em’. Some survivors, such as William, Kreacher, and Freddy, have more than once suggested that if you loved a hunter so much, you should become one to be with him. Dating the undead almost crosses the line of what is humane. Aesop thinks you’re kind of cool.
* The hunters over on Bane’s side hate you more. Are convinced that you’re the sole reason that Bane goes friendly sometimes (even in matches without you in them), and that your relationship takes away from his brutal and violent persona and nature.
* Violetta and Michiko are the most tolerant of you, mainly because you gifted them silk and a hand fan for Christmas once when they wished for them in their letters.
* All-in-all, basically everyone blames you, but you keep going forward because who cares about all the nasty bi*ches in the world, am I right?
* Once, to prove the integrity and devotion of your relationship, you set Freddy’s room on fire and locked Kreacher in a closet. You looked Bane directly in the eyes and kneeling before him stated, “I have committed arson for you m’lord.”
* You couldn’t see it because of his deerish head and all, but Bane really went “Heart eyes motherf*cker.” on you in that moment.
* You love animals and set things on fire to prove your loyalty to him? Ticket for one please, he’s riding the simp train all the way to the station.
* Just, please don’t accidentally burn down the manor, he wants to spend as much time with you as possible before he disappears.
* Also don’t joke around with your life, it’s too precious, even when you tackle your own teammate or risk getting hit by Ganji’s cricket ball to save him from being stunned.
* He doesn’t want you dying before he does—has already he supposes—or disappearing without a trace.
* You promise you’ll stick with him until the day you finally leave this wretched place.
———————————————————————

Hi Fourangers,
First of all, I love your blog so much. It's like going through a history back when Naruto Manga chapters were released weekly and your reviews were so Golden, Hilarious and spot-on. Am a new fan though (especially an SNS fan), I just got into this fandom only this year. I don't know if you'll answer my ask, but I just wanted to try and ask you few questions and I pray that you might answer me....
1. Since you've written in a post that you were active in the eastern part of the fandom, How was chapter 698 received in Japan? Because this is the chapter I inherently realized they both love each other. Yeah, I was too late but somehow whenever they interact with each other in previous chapters I always find them to be 'Weird' for just to be friends. Chapter 698 is just blatantly obvious that they love each other. Considering Homophobia and Shounen genre, I have no idea how it was perceived over there back then in 2014.
2. Which scene made you to ship SNS?
3. As an SNS'er how do you feel about the ending, where everyone was married off when they were just 19 just to make some shitty sequel??? As a new fan, I felt betrayed and It would've been perfect if they had stopped at chapter 699, leaving an open ending.
4. How do you face with the accusation about Naruto and Sasuke as brothers and we, SNS'ers are Incest shippers??? I don't care about that Indra and Ashura thing. But Naruto himself told he considers Sasuke as his Brother couple of times. And in Chapter 699, Sasuke acknowledged, 'He finally understood what it meant'.... It's the only thing that confuses me and I don't even have an answer!!! Plus, Kishi himself gave an interview that he based Sasuke on his Brother... I really wonder how he gave such an interview when he literally made them wear necklaces with each other's faces.
5. How was Naruto and Sasuke's sexuality perceived in the fandom back then??? Man!! Kishimoto just made lot of comic reliefs on their sexuality by making Sasuke on Sai jutsu, Naruto not interested in Icha Icha but making Reverse Harem no Jutsu, Naruto was angry when Konohamaru made Boy on Boy jutsu whereas he had no problem with him doing it. LOL. And all those homoerotic posters. What do you think about their sexuality, personally??
6. Why did Kishi had to develop their bond as Soulmates with some unintentional or intentional romantic undertones, if he was eventually going to pair them up with girls??? He easily could've gave many such romantic tropes to other girls and keep the bond between N and S as purely friendship or brothers. It still would've made sense.
7. Final one, Was Naruto really Nosebleeding when Kurama made a joke about Sasuke's kiss in Chapter 572???? We had a lot of heated discussion with other shippers where they claim that it was just a splotch of snot.
Sorry for the lengthy ask....... I am so eager to know your answers and I don't want to spam your ask box by sending multiple asks.
Thanks 😊😊😊
Hey yo! Welcome new SNS fan! I'm so glad that you joined us and I'll try to answer as best as I can. I'm not very active here on tumblr (except browsing lol) but your ask was such a delight to read.
1. I honestly don't remember. I think I didn't follow the japanese boards until the eventual 699-700 disaster. People were craving for reactions and I was curious about it too lol. And well...it's been years, I doubt I'll be able to find the reactions from that time. Imo, most readers don't care much about pairings, they just wanted to read about power-ups and abilities and the basic Naruto Vs Sasuke. Though there are some backhanded jokes about how gay Naruto is for Sasuke.
2. Hah. It's going to be very anti-climatic but it was when Naruto and Sakura were eating in Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto just used Rasenshuriken against Kakuzu and he busted his arm. Sakura was healing his arm and her attention was focused on Naruto. I used to be a NaruSaku shipper so I thought "Oh hey! This is the moment that Naruto would have a candid romantic moment!" But nope. He talked about Sasuke. And I was already getting suspicious about Sasuke's feelings towards Naruto ya know? And the whole "SASUKE IS MIINEEEEEE" in Orochimaru's lair. It was that moment I thought "you only have Sasuke in your head don't you, Naruto?" and started shipping SNS.
3. Hooo boy was I surprised when it was suddenly revealed that they had the basic heteronormative, boring marriage with bunch of clones of themselves. Everyone thought that it was almost like a bad fanfiction come true and some thought that it was fake. It was a pandemonium lolololol. I also thought that it was too lame to be true and lo and behold, when it came true I was floored. And then whenever Kishimoto threw new material, I got insanely pissed off because S*arada and B*ruto becoming pairing material is ok because they are a girl and a boy, and then they paralleled with Naruto and Sasuke which are only FRIENDS because they are both men. ARGH. Open ending was what Kishimoto planned from the very beginning but wrote a sequel to earn more money.
In that aspect, I made peace with it because of the whole anime/manga industry. I learned that, as a mangaka, you don't earn a lot of money with selling books, but rather with merchandise and profiting with sales right. And that guy have a family to raise, have two kids (which is hilarious about how B*ruto movie is his self-insert story), he needs a steady income. Also, I read reports about how anime studios are so poor and animators don't receive a decent income not to mention they are overstaffed and tired, and B*ruto is a good money cow for them to earn money so they can invest later on other anime they have more passion about it. So even though I hate this story with a strength of thousands suns, they are putting meal on people's tables and making them pay rents. I'm ok.
4. Lemme roll my eyes because in the Last movie they said that Hinata is related to Kaguya and so is the Uzumaki and Uchiha clan so they are all related woo hoo. But in the aspect of brothers because reincarnations bla bla bla, didn't Naruto himself said that he's no longer that brother, he's himself? Hmm...I gotta re-read it. One day. Maybe. lol. But I'm sure that he said "Sasuke is not my brother but I'm sure we'll understand well as friends" so there. Honestly, there are a lot of interviews out there and a lot of them are fake, so I'd always take the interviews with a grain of salt lololol. I do know from artbooks that Kishimoto wanted to create Sasuke as a rival-esque character and that was it. As he was developing Sasuke and Naruto's relationship, since he liked the whole yin-yang concept, whenever he wrote Naruto's story, Sasuke's was developed at the same time as his shadow.
5. I can tell from Naruto Forums (I used to participate back in that day) MOST of the non-shippers thought it was gay as hell, but you know...it was a relic of that time. While they thought it was gay, they didn't put too much thought about you know? Because it was shounen, and we knew that it was a joke that it couldn't be taken seriously. Of course, in the SNS fandom, we did make more analysis and there were a lot of instance when Naruto and Sasuke's sexuality was questioned. Some other non-shippers also thought that Naruto was totes gay for Sasuke (including a IRL friend).
Imo, Naruto is definitely bisexual in my view. Sasuke I think he's asexual or gay. He's attracted to Naruto, but mostly because of his connection to him, not because of his physical attributes, so yeah...asexual. Or Pansexual. Sasuke is more complicated lmao. Imo, Naruto could be pansexual too, come to think about it. Yeah, I guess both being pansexual can be valid.
6. He developed Naruto and Sasuke being soulmates from the very beginning, that was proven in his comments in artbooks and in the manga. He probably created with the intention of making it purely platonic, going beyond physical ties. Then he shot himself on the foot by drawing Naruto thinking about Sasuke on bed, talking about how Sasuke is cool, meanwhile Sasuke waxing poetic about how Naruto saved him. What gives? Lol. Yeah, I think he got too enamored writing their relationship that he didn't have time to write romantic ones. What I noticed that Sakura's popularity never was really high, so I could see some editors putting their fingers all over it and making her less relevant. Also, Kishimoto didn't know how to handle her, so when she got her time to shine was the whole fake confession disaster. Coupled with Kishimoto sexism and, in his words (Kurenai's flashback), women are useful to spout more babies, women was never really relevant in his story, unfortunately. Even Kaguya who was technically the big bad boss, was never really fleshed out in comparison to Madara. So the null het romantic moments it's not because he wanted to elevate SNS moments, it's more about how he's incompetent about it. It's either Hinata slowly elevating to a relevant status because forced interaction (Pain's sacrifice and Neji's death) or Sakura being obligated to be pining over Sasuke because she's a girl. It's even more painful to see that, if we ignore B*ruto, both girls are shown to be just talking with their kids and dusting shelves, basically being housewives, even though thorough the story (especially Sakura) it was implied that both of them have much more potential than being their husband accessories.
7. It was a splotch of snot. I can confirm myself lol. Whenever the chapter is out and fans would scan it to scanlate it, the editor usually would amp up contrast to max. So usually the lines get much more thicker than usual, when you read the official release which gets straight from the source, you can notice how the lines are more delicate.
Oh lol...but then we also have a lot of controversy about translating style. THAT one is a whole new can of worms to open.
Man I had fun answering your questions! Please send more :P

Avery Emerson Clay: What If the Fish Picks A Different Hook?
Anti-climatic. That’s what sharing an elevator with Max was because it wasn’t as if our staff could do anything to hold him or show our hand. Max wasn’t actually wanted for anything. He was something of an enigma. The entire fucking point was to get Max to grab my ass, and instead he just rode the elevator and acted polite.
I told my three earbuddies, and they pulled the video, confirmed that Max was my elevator buddy, and then we - well we went back to the same shit different day. Literally. Wash, rinse, repeat.
If it worked once, then clearly we should be able to net his ass again, right?
I had doubts, but who was I in this mess? Bait, remember, that’s who I was in this mess. The worm on the hook.
My first tingling, niggling feeling of something being terribly wrong came Wednesday morning. Rose had a schedule she kept almost religiously. In fact, I couldn’t remember a time she missed one of her scheduled days, she’d never taken a sick day. I was having my breakfast, with my shorts and another one of the many ridiculous shirts in place on the off chance that Max decided to pop up on my extra jogging trips, when I glanced at the clock.
“Dad,” he was flipping through the paper, his breakfast almost crumbs forgotten on his plate and his cup had been refreshed by Jake as he grabbed another cup for himself, so I got a grunt to let me know he heard me. “It’s almost ten.” Another grunt, but I saw his eyes shift to the top of the paper and then they met mine. “Did you run Rose through the same op shit that you ran me through?” I felt sick, Rose, OUR Rose at the mercy of Max - who looked like a pansy but this asshole had killed children without a hint of indecision. She’d been given self-defense classes, everyone tangentially involved with our family was, but Rose was ROSE.
Clay came into the kitchen to grab another cup of coffee and he picked up on the tension immediately. “What?” My eyes wandered back to the clock and so did his, and somehow he knew. “Where’s Rose?”
On the upside, I didn’t have to go jogging. On the downside, Rose was missing.
Mom and I had called her cell phone with the result that we both managed to get her voicemail, which did nothing to soothe either of our nerves. Clay and Dad, while clearly the more tactical and hardass of the family, were doing a better job of hiding their worry under a heavy layer of stoicism, but as Clays we knew a layer of shit when we saw it. They were as worried as we were, and while Jake worked to track Rose’s cell phone, Clay had another computer working with one of his programs hacking into the traffic cameras between her house and ours.
Nothing. That’s what we were finding as the minutes ticked down into hours. And I was getting more and more anxious. As my anxiety ratcheted, so did my energy level and Mom sensed it as easily as Clay had the tension when he walked into the kitchen.
“Avery, let’s go to the gym.” I shot her a look that I hope she understood meant I was less than receptive to the idea of leaving while they were in the middle of searching for Rose, but she shook her head and her lips were thin enough to cut paper. “Now.”
I was practically vibrating as we walked out of the library, where Clay and Dad had set up the search. I hadn’t noticed that Aisha, Cougar, and Pooch weren’t around, but Mom offered that they were actually on foot and in Cougar’s case, I thought, in perches, taking a look around to try to pick up Rose’s tracks. She was telling me, as she led me to the gym, that everyone was doing their best to find her. Rose was a priority, but I needed to calm the fuck down.
In the gym, she sighed as Rose’s choice hit our ears. Instead of changing it, I stiffened my spine and wrapped my hands. “You can change it,” but I shook my head.
Crappy, emo chick shit would have to do because Rose had been the last person in the gym. Kicking off my shoes, I stepped onto the mat where a new dummy had been put in the place of the one I’d destroyed. Staring into the unseeing face, I visualized the dark hair, the smug face and the linen suit and then I went to work.
Mom only stopped me when she thought I needed hydration, or when she thought my hand wraps might need changed. Aside from that, she let me beat the stuffing, literally, out of dummy number two. Since Jake was busy and she knew that I would rather he stay that way while Rose was missing, she kept me company.
“Here,” she stepped up and handed me another bottle of water, smiling because I was pacing myself much better than the last time I handed the dummy its ass. “Are you feeling less -” she considered how to follow up, but shook her head. “Well?”
I was out of breath, a well earned sweat coating me and saturating what would have been my jogging clothes, and I didn’t feel as on edge as I had when we left the others to come into the gym. The music that was playing was starting to annoy me, which was a good sign too. I nodded and stepped off the mat, happy to see that the dummy was still standing, even if it was a little worse for the wear.
Taking a long pull from the bottle she handed me, I gratefully took the towel she offered next. “Thanks, Mom.” We walked to the bench where I’d kicked off my shoes before hitting the mat. Sitting down, I stared at the tiny flecks of dummy dust that were dancing in the artificial light of the gym while Rose’s craptastic music continued to assault our ears. “It should be me.” I felt it gnawing at my insides, the fear that Max - a man who looked like he wouldn’t tie his own fucking shoelaces could be hurting ROSE of all people. “I was pissed at everyone for even thinking of making me do it, but it SHOULD BE ME.”
“Hey,” I turned to look into what I knew everyone would say was a mirror of my future. My mom, the older ME. “Don’t do that, Avery. Don’t blame yourself for something that a monster does.” I stared at her, wondering how she managed to get over what happened to her during her fateful Spring Break. “No one decides what bad men do, but bad men. Even if your father and brother think they’re incredibly smart and better at the game.” She fidgeted with her bracelets and I glanced down, seeing the faint lines that were still visible after so many years. When I looked back up a smirk had found a home on her lips. “People think I wear them because they’re sentimental, because your father gave them to me when he rescued me.” He did, I knew the story like I knew all the others. “He gave them to me so I could hide the open wounds that the wire they bound me in cut into me. Even with the bandages, I felt self conscious.”
I bit my lip, wondering if Rose was going to need her own bracelets. “What if we don’t -”
“Don’t do that either, Avery Emerson.” My eyes were burning and I was fighting the tears. “Don’t give up before we even get started.” She sounded as firm as she had when she cut Dad off during his attitude with Jake over dinner. “We’ll find Rose. We will, and I almost feel sorry for this Max.” I stared at her in disbelief. “What? I can have compassion for a monster who has fucked up so massively as to have brought down the wrath of the Clay family by attacking one of our own.”
I sat up straighter, she was right. Max didn’t know who the fuck he was messing with, and taking Rose was a bridge too far.
“There’s my girl,” Mom smiled. “Now, go get a shower and redress. We’ll make lunch and see where we are in the search.” She helped me off the bench and clucked me under my chin. “Remember Avery, Clays aren’t quitters.”
I nodded. Grabbing my shoes, I kissed her cheek on my way out. I grinned when I noticed that she was kicking her own shoes off as I was leaving.

Eugenesis, Epilogue Scene Three: A National Holiday Is Declared
Mark your fucking calendars, folks, it’s a once in a lifetime event.
Now, what could be making Rodimus happy?
Telling himself that Kup isn’t dead, that Thunderclash isn’t dead, that Prowl isn’t dead, that the medics had managed to find their brains and fix them, that it wasn’t actually them who had died but some cheap copies.
Telling himself that Primus himself had given them the cure for the Inhibitor Chips.
Telling himself what he wishes was true.
Telling himself lies.
So, let’s try this again. It’s January 12th, 2013, and Rodimus Prime is awake and alive in the camp that is now home to the Autobots.
Rodimus has been spending the last few days listening to the recordings Perceptor made for him from the time he was busy being mostly-dead. He doesn’t remember any of the time he spent not-dead, but the scientists have been trying their hand at spirituality and more or less explained it to him as him ever-so-slowly approaching the event horizon of joining with the Matrix. The Matrix that we now know is a computer that makes babies, and that we’d already known was chock full of Unicron. Is this what being in the Cloud is like? Because if so, I’m just going to commit to a physical hard drive for all my stuff so my documents don’t become clinically depressed.
And while we’re on this whole not-really-dead thing: you know, retcons feel a lot less needing of justification when they aren’t being pulled by the same writer who made the retcon necessary in the first place, in the same piece of writing. Roberts, if you didn’t actually want to kill Rodimus, you shouldn’t have taken away all of his pigmentation and dusted his ass in a ditch after Kup went off the deep end.
I don’t think he’s actually happy, guys.
He’s currently staring out the window, totally not painfully aware of just how unbelievably tired he looks. Remember when this was the guy who went on fishing trips and joyrides with ten-year olds? Rodimus remembers. He remembers it very clearly. Someone let this guy take Animated Bumblebee’s place for a few days before he goes and finds a pod filled with robo-cancer or something.
It’s time to bury the pain again, as High Command comes through the door.
They made it! Rewind’s OTP lives, unlike him. Time to get down to business.
Rodimus thanks everyone for coming to the meeting, and starts going over the revamp process for the brand new Autobase- they’ve cleaned out the corpses, sorted them by faction, done god knows what to the ones that couldn’t be identified one way or the other, and we finally get to know just what in the fuck Jolup was doing Downstairs.
…Alright then, Ed Gein. Is this how they were going to handle that dropped Phase Sixer subplot in Lost Light? Because if so, Swerve what the 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔.
Rodimus has decided that they’re just going to bury that nightmare under forty tons of plasto-steel, to never see the light of day again. Moving on, he says that Metroplex is recovering rather well from his transplant.
Oh! Hello, Metroplex. You’re looking very… alive. Didn’t you just spend the better part of the week dead and lying on the seafloor?
Turns out that Titans are pretty hardy- they just ripped his head off and slapped it into the middle of the new Autobase and he was good to go.
Rodimus hasn’t heard from Galvatron since he got back- I’m hoping it’s because Soundwave took matters into his own hands- and it’s making him a bit nervous.
Time for status reports!
Magnus has had teams searching for bodies (brains, really) that they can bring back to Ratchet to fix up. He asks Rodimus about potentially building another outpost on Earth, but it looks like he won’t be getting to see Oregon again anytime soon. There’s also the issue of literally everything Xenon told him back on Aquaria- he asks for a private audience for that. Magnus, did you really wait this long to talk to your boss about this? He’s got the Matrix inside him right now, and you didn’t think it pertinent enough to bring up sooner? Priorities, man.
Ratchet’s injected all the POWs with the anti-Chip, which has helped their physical health tremendously. However, not all of them are regaining the ability to transform, and that’s opened up a real can of worms, mental health-wise.
I’m with Ratchet on this one. I know we don’t exactly have a ton of real estate on the bombed-out husk that is Cybertron, but surely there was something better than the epicenter of the Quintesson Antiholocaust/Transformers Holocaust.
Rodimus says that anyone uncomfortable with the camp can stay in Fort Max’s old place next door until they’re more open to the idea. The reason they aren’t staying at Fort Max’s altogether is because it’s apparently too small to house everyone. There’s, like, maybe three hundred of y’all left, and Max wasn’t exactly petite. Maybe I’m missing something here.
Rodimus, uncomfortable with the topic, moves on to one that’s equally as uncomfortable- Prowl. Ratchet wants to send him off with a full, personal funeral. He’s not dead yet, but he might as well be. Still no donor. Rodimus opts to let the guy die naturally, even after Ratchet explains that he might still be in pain even in a pod and knocked out. Geez, any more good news, doc?
Oh ho, you thought this would stop with just a single robot? Not even close.
Mirage is allowed to be in a bad mood this time. I can’t even remotely fault him for that. And Autobots don’t give parental leave? What a rip.
Yeah, except they’ve all been Quintesson nightmare babies. This is what some folks might call a problem. Are you telling me that they can just catch pregnancy like the common cold now? This is tapping into irrational teenage fears. Christianity-based fears.
I have to wonder, what’s the general feel behind this process? It’s completely random, even when it happens to someone who’s supposed to go through it, and people just kind of stand there and watch it happen. I feel like it’d be really fucking embarrassing to just keel over and start going through mitosis in the middle of a room full of your peers. Then the whole murder-baby thing starts happening, and folks are drawing guns on your abdomen to top it all off. At what point do you just say “screw it” and have your torso removed?
Ratchet’s been storing the Quintessons in stasis pods, as opposed to Soundwave’s snap judgement of “kill now, repress later.” He’s run all the tests he can think of, and the things aren’t exactly hostile- they don’t really do anything, honestly. Perhaps murder-baby is too harsh a term. Still, they gotta figure out something to do with the little bastards. High Command’s been asking around off-planet.
Well, there’s one mystery solved! Meeting’s over, Rodimus shoos everyone away, but Siren has something to report: he and Chromedome figured out Nightbeat’s final words.
Oh wow, I was WAY off. Road trip!

newfragile yellows [584]
"This is favoritism, isn’t it?” Maxwell points to the couple standing off to the side. Only one of them is partially in uniform, the other one is completely not. Maxwell isn’t quite sure what Ellana’s wearing but that’s not the point. Ellana shouldn’t even be here at all.
“No it isn’t, it’s bad planning,” Evelyn scowls as she glares at the holographic projections on the war table. “We have military forces that recruit from over three dozen planets and we still couldn’t find a pilot as good as Ellana. Unbelievable.”
Bull’s holding Ellana, one arm supporting her back, the other keeping her pressed tight to his chest and stomach. Her thin legs don’t quite go all the way around him, and her head is mashed somewhere in the vicinity of his neck. He looks like an adult carrying a very large toddler. She’s swaddled in a blanket and all Maxwell can see of her is her legs and her feet. He does hear the near death rattle of her open-mouthed wheezing. It sounds awful. It sounds like she’s about to die, really.
“She’s past her contagious period,” Dorian says, sounding furious as he glares at Kaaras.
“I’m sorry I didn’t lie about it,” Kaaras says, “I didn’t realize we were supposed to be lying about our friends’ medical information. No one tells me these things.”
“I tried to leave her in our room,” Bull says, looking as stoic as someone can be when they’re carrying a wheezing, swaddled, lump of dying space-flu infested flesh. “But she kept following me and at some point it looked really bad. I mean. I couldn’t just leave her in the middle of the hallway as she crawled after me sniffling and wheezing like she’s about to let loose her last, dying breath.”
“No one would’ve blamed you,” Mahanon says from where he’s standing clear across the room. As far back as he can, back against a wall. “If she gets me sick I’m going to smother her.”
“It sounds like she’s smothering herself,” Herah says. “Is she even awake?”
“She’s lucid,” Dorian says. “Barely.”
Ellana’s wearing the standard issue socks with the anti-slip grips. They’re a dull mustard brown and they’re much too large for her. Bull has to shift her weight to one arm to fix them when they’re about to fall off her ankle.
“We don’t have better socks?” Max asks. “And we seriously don’t have any pilots better than Ellana?”
Ellana’s wheezing turns violent as the lump of cloth that’s Ellana starts to stir.
Everyone shushes him.
“You’re going to wake her up,” Herah hisses, “Don’t talk about the possibility that there’s someone better than her in existence.”
“Have some sense,” Malika chimes in, going to help the Iron Bull as she fixes Ellana’s other sock. “Kick a girl while she’s down, why don’t you?”
“We’re here,” Evelyn cuts in before Max can reply, “Because we need to discuss our next strike and our fleet’s movements while we’re in this sector. This sector that’s filled with several bombs hidden in the asteroid belts that are quite numerous. Unfortunately, as Ellana the only pilot of ours to successfully navigate these asteroid belts without damaging her ship or having some other sort of consequence befall her, she’s really the only one we can ask for input.”
“It couldn’t wait until she wasn’t on the verge of death?”
“She’s technically — technically. Technically. I cannot stress this word enough. Technically - over the worst part of the space flu at this point,” Dorian says. Still sounding very upset. “It is my strong recommendation that she should still be under quarantine and observation. But apparently this couldn’t wait and couldn’t be conducted next to the quarantine.”
“I want you to figure out how all of us are going to fit in quarantine,” Evelyn says. “I want you to really do the math on that one, Dorian. I mean really consider it and tell me the logistics of how you’d have handled all of us, the maps and information displays, plus all of the medical machines and monitors.”
“Meanwhile we’re at the border of a semi-hostile sector surrounded in asteroids, bombs, and extremely difficult gravitational fields,” Cassandra adds on, “We need to get this started. And afterwards we can discuss finding some sort of…understudy.”
“Understudy, there is no understudy for my sister,” Mahanon rolls his eyes. “That’s like saying you want an extra Dorian. Or an extra Josephine.”
“The universe isn’t capable of handling that.”
“Exactly.”
Bull’s started to pat Ellana’s back, trying to guide her through a coughing fit that sounds like her respiratory system is turning to liquid and choking her alive. It’s space-flu, so it might actually be doing that. Eventually she hacks up something like a cat and Bull’s face doesn’t even change as a wet patch grows visible on his shoulder.
“You’re a strong person,” Herah says.
“I have no choice,” Bull replies.
“Give her to me,” Kaaras says, “Go change your shirt before that dries.”
“You are a strong person,” Bull says, gently handing Ellana off to Kaaras. Ellana doesn’t stir, she just continues her wheezing death rattle as Kaaras gently and carefully shifts her around in his arms to get her comfortable. Her knee squeeze his waist — he isn’t as wide as Bull is, despite being just as tall — and she nuzzles into him with the determination of a worm with an apple. Kaaras kisses her hair.
“You’re so stinky,” he sighs, “We need to figure out dry shampoo that doesn’t end up smelling like…worse than dirty hair.”
Bull adjusts one of Ellana’s socks and starts stripping out of his jacket, grimacing. “I think it already soaked through. Or maybe that’s from earlier and I didn’t realize it.”
“That’s true love, right there,” Herah says to Max.
“That’s…something,” Max agrees. “Maybe swing by the decontamination chamber before coming back?”
Bull gives him a two fingered salute and walks off.
“Can we focus now?” Evelyn asks, exasperated. “Are we ready to focus on the bomb filled asteroid belt? Please? Before we die?”

Motorized Pan and Tilt Camera Heads/Units System
Motorized pan & tilt video heads are equipped with a motorized pan tilt camera mount for carrying the camera to rotate in both horizontal and vertical directions. A motorized camera head on the PTZ enables the camera to take pictures from multiple angles. Two electric motors are installed in the pan/tilt. The angle of horizontal and vertical rotation can be adjusted through the limit switch. Using programming control with sensor components and HD-SDI output interface, real-time, lossless output can be achieved with the highest resolution.
How to Mount a Heavy Duty Motorized Pan Tilt Head/ Positioner?
Remove the lower cover of the pan tilt units and install the integrated motorized pan and tilt with inch screws.
Connect the red and black (mostly) wires on the pan/tilt decoder board to the power supply of the camera, the red positive and black negative.
Connect the marked zoom (Z) and common (c) on the pan/tilt decoder board. Generally, you don't need to connect to focus (camera auto focus)
After connecting, control the three wires outside the motorized pan tilt head/ positioner, video (two-way for docking), power supply (24V AC, regardless of positive and negative) (a\b is both positive and negative)
According to the PTZ manual, set the address code and baud rate on the decoder board. The protocol does not need to be controlled. The general protocol decoder can support it.
After installation, it is best to take the engineering treasure or hard record to try it and install it on the wall.
FAQ OF MOTORIZED PAN AND TILT HEADS/UNITS
What is motorized pan & tilt video heads/units?-
Motorized pan tilt video heads/units are two-axis motion control devices used to point sensors and cameras and often track objects in real time.
What is the Difference Between Panning and Tilting the Camera?
Pannning the camera is to control the pan tilt unit to move horizontally, and tilting the camera is to control the pan tilt to rotate in vertical direction. Pan and tilt can be used simultaneously.

(via Black Sails Episode 301 - XIX)
Black Sails Episode 301 - XIX Recap
WELL-FORMED THOUGHTS
Flint’s got a death wish. He’s always been recklessly violent, but he is no longer careful in the slightest. In his first scene of the season, Flint strides into the city he’s sacking, walking directly at a man who tries to shoot him. Flint doesn’t duck or pause; the only thing that saves him is pure dumb luck that the gun misfires and Flint can cut the man down. Later, when he lists all the reasons they shouldn’t go onto the Bait Ship, he lets the wrong decision be made instead of sticking to his opinion. And when Silver tries to send someone else before Flint for safety, Flint crosses over first with zero fucks as to what happens.
When they find the marooned captain’s log scrawled with “we die alone” over and over again and it’s mentioned that he must have gone mad, it’s easy to draw a comparison to Flint. This comparison is solidified when DeGroot says the storm Flint wants to sail into is a ship killer, and Flint replies, “Then he’d be mad to follow us in there,” (AKA I’m mad for going in there).
Losing Miranda and losing his last connection to Thomas (in the form of his dream of a colonized Nassau) has utterly undone Flint. He has a purpose now – to take down England and see Nassau free of its influence – but he cares very little whether or not he lives to see it happen.
Poor Silver has a big job ahead, saving Flint from himself.
FRAGMENTED THOUGHTS
We meet Blackbeard for the first time! He’s very composed, erudite, and ruthless. But not ruthless like Ned Lowe in season 2, so I am HERE for it!
“There is no forever. Everything moves toward its end.”
This feels especially prescient now that we’ve passed the halfway point of the show. In this episode, it really FEELS like everything is moving toward its end. Eep!
Ninja!Flint OMG
Yikes, Ninja!Flint has no emotions in his mission to avenge hanged pirates. This particular magistrate is banking on the fact that Flint is a good man. We know he is, so we expect him to either mete out a lesser punishment or at least show remorse for murdering him. Nope! This empty Flint murders both the magistrate and his wife, and when he hallucinates Miranda’s corpse as his victim instead, he just leaves the room, blank-faced as ever.
Billy is not very perceptive in this episode. Silver can see that Flint has changed, but Billy is just like, “nah, it’s a mood.” And later when on Ship Bait, Billy is all “why would they maroon their captain on a boat rather than an island?” while Flint is figuring everything out. Billy, my man, step up!
It feels very odd to see Vane as Featherstone’s captain. But I love this side of Vane, who both 1) refuses to let slaves die and 2) refuses to let the slaver ship escape. Very clever move on his part to use the launches!
I really dislike Max in this episode. The fake Eleanor trial is in poor taste, and it highlights the fact that Max panders to people rather than inspiring them. She is okay with the status quo, so long as herself and those closest to her are treated well by it. And later, when she says the iconic “In another time, another place, they would call me a queen,” I couldn’t help but notice that everything she lists as evidence are Eleanor’s accomplishments. I wonder how much of this is something she realizes and fears?
Mr. Scott: You wanted to replace Eleanor. She was the one Nassau relied upon to solve those problems no one else could or would. I hope for all our sakes you are up to the task.
Anne is caught between Jack and Max. Jack calls Max Anne’s “husband” and later Anne warns Max that she’s getting close to the one thing she promised never to do – make Anne choose between the two.
I ADORE the scene when Silver walks in on Flint while he’s asleep. It belies the intimacy they now share, though Flint is very much keeping up some walls. When Silver tries to use the power of emotional speechifying against Flint, he is Shut Down (for being a little too correct). Silver is trying to step into his role as a partner, but Flint doesn’t want anyone that close after losing Miranda.
Silver: I understand this is all incredibly personal to you after the loss of Mrs. Barlow.
Flint: Now, wait a minute –
Silver: And I understand the burden of playing the role you currently play must be taking a toll even you cannot fully comprehend.
Flint: Stop. Now you have wormed your way into the heads of the men out there, and they’ve granted you authority over them because of it. But in my head, you are not welcome.
I REALLY wish I’d seen the meeting between Flint, Vane, and Jack right after season 2.
Vane is pissed at Jack for sending him after slaves to use in the fort. I am baffled by this plotline? After quite eloquently explaining how awful slavery is, Vane just…agrees? Is the point of this supposed to be that our heroes can use slave labor so long as they feel badly about it? Why not use the power of their names and start working themselves and inspiring their crews to join them? I buy Jack thinking of this plan because he’s got enough white man privilege to blind himself to what he’s doing, but Vane?
Flint wants to avoid the ship bait, but Silver is in favor. They’re in need of resupplying and there’s a storm coming. Silver is annoyed that Flint thinks he made the wrong call and says, “How would you have argued [it]?” leading to another excellent Flint speech!
“These days any man who can sew a black flag and get ten fools to follow him can take a prize. They can take it because of the fear that I and men like me have instilled in their prey. But they can’t do what I can do. They’re not built for it. And sooner or later, they’ll be exposed. Any fool who followed Hallendale deserves whatever end they got in his company. You were right – the war is getting more dangerous. The strong among us must stand together and face it. But the fools and the pretenders, they were were never truly among us to being with. As their quartermaster, it’s your decision. But that’s how I might’ve argued it to my men to avoid unnecessary delay.”
UM, am I reading too much into Silver’s look when Flint says “the fools and pretenders were never truly among us to begin with”? Does Silver feel like a pretender and fear that Flint sees him that way too?
Flint’s realization as to the purpose of the Bait Ship and his plan to evade capture is SUCH FAST THINKING. Oh Captain, my captain.
Max wants to be a queen, and she knows that “when civilization returns, do you know what they will call me then? The whore that lost everything.” Her rags-to-riches story only exists outside of civilization and their status quo.
Billy: Whoever that is out there, he has us.
Silver: Bullshit. That man [Flint] has a goddamned answer for everything. He’s working on an answer for this.
Ooooh Silver, remember when you said, “I’m certain I won’t make the mistake you both [Billy and Gates] made. I don’t believe in him. To me, he is the means to securing a very valuable prize, no more, no less.” Sure sounds like you believe in him now!
Ugh, Hornigold and Dufresne. I hate them, but it’s not even an interesting kind of hate. They just suck.
Just wanna draw attention to the fact that I already quoted Flint’s amazing anti-pardon speech at the very beginning of this post, and it’s worth reading again in the flow of the episode! One thing I didn’t mention there – after calling Miranda his “woman,” he adds that she was his “friend.” One term is for his men to understand, the other is his truth. I love that he needs to say out loud who she was to him.
Woodes Rogers appears! I like his introduction, mostly because he admires the way Eleanor gave her testimony in court. And I like his honesty about his selfishness, how he wants to use her story to bolster his own.
My love for Eleanor only grows when Rogers tries to comfort her emotionally, and she’s all, “yeah, yeah, yeah, but let’s get down to practicalities” and then immediately tells him the one name he needs to worry about.
The first time I watched the series, I hated Eleanor and was so confused by her season 3 arc. But we left her in season 2 with Vane confirming all her worst fears of pirates by murdering her father. Last she heard, her plan with Flint was to partner with England to restore Nassau, so aligning herself with Rogers against the Dangerous Pirates (Vane) in order to restore a proper governor to New Providence Island is exactly in character for her.
So many soldiers! So many ships! oh no!

I think we can help your destructive behavior become a bit more constructive instead. Be honest, once you've fought, the anger doesn't lapse, does it? If anything you just feed it until you're tired. I'll admit it's a quick and easy way to get pent up energy out, but instead of tearing people down, I think it would be nicer if the world around you was just a bit nicer too. Maybe you can't get Blue to smile just yet, but helping others smile will feel nice for you too
"Destructive behaviors? You're getting in fights."
"I'm only hurting jackasses! What does that have to do with anything? If you're feeling okay, can't we just go back for a little while? We can find people, JJ, people we loved."
"Is this about Max?"
"No," shoots back Jackie, though his face darkens with heat. "It isn't."
JJ clicks his tongue thoughtfully, gazing at him. "I'm just not sure it's a good idea."
"Why?" asks Jackie, unhappy now, dejected. "We've done it before. Now I finally understand it, we can go together and actually get to savor that old life."
"Jackie... we have to start building a new life."
"But there are things worth going back for. Just a couple things. Doesn't have to be everything."
"I don't know if it's good for us to go searching for an idyllic version of the world that just doesn't exist for us anymore."
"JJ, Chase has kids."
JJ goes quiet.
"Yeah."
"Do you know where they are?"
"No... Anti would have wormed it out of my head if I did."
"James. We have to go back for them, if nothing else. We have to find his family."
There's a long pause. JJ is staring at the floor.
"What were their names?" asks Jackie quietly.
Jameson closes his eyes. "Hunter. And Izzy."
Jackie nods slowly, taking in the feel of the names. Something warm to them.
Fuck. He has a nephew and a niece. He's an uncle.
"But constructive behaviors," adds JJ, rerouting. "Jackie, you have to work on that."
"Okay, okay, whatever!"
"Not whatever. You can't just be getting in fights."
"What if they deserve it," groans Jackie. "And it makes me feel better!"
He likes seeing JJ healthy again, but damn, his little brother sure can death glare as well as Blue now that he's clear-headed enough to assert himself.

(oc questions - all - for the Mercys?)
You got it toots!
1. What’s their full name? Why was that chosen? Does it mean anything?
Maxine Elizabeth and Leopold. Old family names.
2. Do they have any titles? How did they get them?
For the residents of the house, The Mercys is very much a title that’s used more often than either of their given names. Even in school their classmates probably referred to them together a lot of the time.
3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory?
Not many good childhood memories outside of each other and Charlie. Both have mixed and complicated feelings about parents. ((spoilers!!! no one cares nell this isn’t a real movie)) Leo doesn’t remember much of his biological dad except things were Not Good. Max remembers her mother, but mostly remembers her being sick and being scared at hospitals and such. Their best memories are the two of them with Charlie. They could sometimes be alone with her for days at a time and it was the most peaceful time they ever had.
4. What is their relationship with their parents? What’s a good and bad memory with them? Did they know both parents?
Not Good ™. On all counts. The exact details of the family backgrounds would ultimately depend partially on casting, but the ones I’ve toyed with most have been: Dirk is the old fashioned sort to expect his wife to care for children and for him to pat them on the head occasionally and pay for their upkeep. That never worked out so well, since Max’s mother got sick when Max was very young, then after she was gone, he was alone, then Marlene and Max did NOT get along from day one. So his and Max’s relationship was always distant and begrudging and strained. Then Marlene I’ve sort of pictured as an immigrant from somewhere- coming to the US with her first husband, then leaving him and marrying Dirk. She saw this as a lateral move at the time, but had a rude awakening upon finding that everyone in her new country sees her as an “exotic” trophy wife (she bleaches her hair but still has a strong “foreign sounding” accent). With her first husband, she was distant due to a toxic relationship and Leo didn’t receive a lot of attention. Then Marlene starting taking barbiturates and nothing ever improved. Sometimes, she would occasionally try to strike up a closer relationship with Leo, but her efforts never lasted long so he learned not to get his hopes up.
5. Do they have any siblings? What’s their names? What is their relationship with them? Has their relationship changed since they were kids to adults?
Their relationship with Charlie is an odd mix of siblings and parents/child. The age gap wasn’t enough for them truly to act as parents, but the older they got, the more they felt responsible for her. Charlie always idolized and trusted them unlike anyone else and they had an enormous sense of responsibility to live up to this. So, naturally, they have always viewed her death as their own failure more than Dirk or Marlene’s.
6. What were they like at school? Did they enjoy it? Did they finish? What level of higher education did they reach? What subjects did they enjoy? Which did they hate?
Both of them were not exactly anti-social during school, but had only small circles of friends that shifted and changed gradually as they aged. They had kind of a reputation for being “stuck up” because everyone knew they had money, but they didn’t know much else about them. Were actually pretty normal, if a little reserved from a lot of social neglect early in life. They dropped out after Charlie died and Dirk and Marlene left and never finished high school. Both were average students. Max was that kid who had a different book with them every day. Leo didn’t pay enough attention to be a good student, but he was always a good writer and pretty logical, so he got by.
7. Did they have lots of friends as a child? Did they keep any of their childhood friends into adulthood?
They always had a few friends, but none were lasting. After Charlie’s death, they deliberately cut ties with everyone they knew and moved around for a few years before returning to Duluth. None of their school friends would likely recognize them now.
8. Did they have pets as a child? Do they have pets as an adult? Do they like animals?
The Mercys have always had a cat or two. They’ve had Katherine for a couple of years now. It’s good for them to have something outside themselves to care about and look after.
9. Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals?
Both of the Mercys are pretty good with animals as they are usually pretty calm and affectionate with them.
10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?
They are both very good with children, though they have actively avoided them since Charlie’s death. Their thoughts on the possibility of parenthood are…. complicated. When they were younger, the idea was terrifying- because of what it would mean for them. Teen pregnancy freaks a lot of people out, but they were next level paranoid. Then, after Charlie, they couldn’t bear to think about it for a long time. Gradually though, they both started to consider the idea. Part of them wants to, in a way, recreate the “family” they had with Charlie, but the idea would mean considering a child to be her replacement. Which they fully realize is fucked up. So… they sort of want a kid, but don’t want to open that emotional can of worms without some delayed grieving they really don’t have the energy for.
11. Do they have any special diet requirements? Are they a vegetarian? Vegan? Have any allergies?
They have both cut out red meat since their teens.
12. What is their favourite food?
Max loves wild rice soup and it’s the only thing she knows how to make from scratch. Leo loves going to late night diners for waffles.
13. What is their least favourite food?
The smell of ham makes Leo gag and Max hates potato salad
14. Do they have any specific memories of food/a restaurant/meal?
They remember everything they ate the day Charlie disappeared. Max had the last of the cheerios for breakfast, so Leo had to make oatmeal. They had school lunch of chicken and gravy. Then they got takeout for dinner on the way home- eggrolls and lo mein from Taste of Saigon in Canal Park. They got an odd number of eggrolls and rock paper scissor-ed for the last one. Max won, but they ended up splitting it.
15. Are they good at cooking? Do they enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking?
Nope. Thus plot and Autumn. They tried to cook between the hired chefs, but meals were absolutely heinous in those times because Anabelle used their bad cooking as just another excuse to criticize them. Mina tried as well but didn’t have any better results.
16. Do they collect anything? What do they do with it? Where do they keep it?
Since they were became homeless as teens, Leo’s become sort of a packrat. He’s that guy that saves everything “just in case” he might need it or make it into something useful later. Max has to regularly go through all their stuff and throw out the real garbage he saves.
Max has an extensive collection of boots- since shoes are the one article of clothing they really can’t share. She also has like- twenty different silk and satin fancy slips and negligees but if you tell anyone you’re dead.
17. Do they like to take photos? What do they like to take photos of? Selfies? What do they do with their photos?
No on all counts. Aside from drivers licences (expired now), no pictures probably exist of them past age 14.
18. What’s their favourite genre of: books, music, tv shows, films, video games and anything else
Max is an epic adventure reader. LOTR, Dumas, you name it. Leo likes more modern lit. Realistic fantasy/scifi- David Mitchell and the like. Max loves classic films- cinema icons from 60s or earlier (their cat Katherine is for Katherine Hepburn). Leo is a total weirdo who is obsessed with live action/animation mashups. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is his alltime fave. They don’t watch a ton of tv, but when they do, it’s something weird like Pushing Daisies or something tame like National Geographic.
19. What’s their least favourite genres?
They really can’t handle any of Charlie’s favorite movies anymore.
20. Do they like musicals? Music in general? What do they do when they’re favourite song comes?
Not much for musicals. They listen to music in the yardhouse or while they’re working out in the stables or garage. Both very much into the classics as far as rock and some old country (cash and williams and the like) but Leo also likes indie alternative rock.
21. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper?
Max has a quicker temper- or rather, gets angry more easily. Any little comment from Anabelle sets her seething and in a bad mood for hours. It takes a lot more to set Leo off, but he goes from 0 to FIGHT ME in no time at all. ((See: Mr. Thackary mentioning his mom))
22. What are their favourite insults to use? What do they insult people for? Or do they prefer to bitch behind someone’s back?
Definitely “if i insult you to your face, it means we’re friends, but i can’t say it if I mean it because then it’s awkward” people. Will call each other and Autumn names all the time. Pretty generic and mild for the most part. “Dumbass” and “Bastard” and the like. Mina is a weird one because they know that’s not how she operates so they don’t want to upset her, but also she can tell they joke around with Autumn that way, so she feels a little left out. They try more gentle ribbing just to make her feel better.
23. Do they have a good memory? Short term or long term? Are they good with names? Or faces?
Max has a terrible memory and Leo has a good one. Drives Max crazy if they ever have an argument about something that happened more than a few days ago.
24. What is their sleeping pattern like? Do they snore? What do they like to sleep on? A soft or hard mattress?
Both of them are huge babies about having a soft mattress and lots of pillows. Even in their own bed, they both have trouble sleeping sometimes. Sadly enough, it’s the good dreams that keep them awake- dreams they have Charlie back and everything is fine again.
Leo sleeps on his back and if he’s alone- STARFISH. But when Max is there more floppy easy cuddles. Max, on the other hand, is nothing but knees and elbows in her sleep and it is a Problem.
25. What do they find funny? Do they have a good sense of humour? Are they funny themselves?
Both the Mercys have a pretty dark sense of humor at times. Leo can be markedly darker, but also sillier in his humor, whereas max is more dry.
26. How do they act when they’re happy? Do they sing? Dance? Hum? Or do they hide their emotions?
Both usually get more comfortable and friendly with others when they’re in a good mood. If it’s just the two of them, they’re just stupid affectionate and playful. Lots of snuggles and movies and snacks and giggling like kids.
27. What makes them sad? Do they cry regularly? Do they cry openly or hide it? What are they like they are sad?
They are sad most of the time. Max only cries when she wakes up from a dream about Charlie- Leo hasn’t cried since Charlie’s death. Max would probably fight anyone who saw her cry.
28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?
Losing one another is definitely their biggest fear now. Max tends to sort of freeze up when afraid, while Leo usually takes action in the moment, then freezes up when he pauses to think to hard about his fears.
29. What do they do when they find out someone else’s fear? Do they tease them? Or get very over protective?
It depends on who that person is. But they have very strong protective tendencies, so they would have to REALLY hate someone to mock or use someone else’s fear.
30. Do they exercise? Regularly? Or only when forced? What do they act like pre-work out and post-work out?
They stay pretty active for work, but they would never “work out” for the sake of it. They’re both pretty strong, but don’t do much in the way of cardio.
31. Do they drink? What are they like drunk? What are they like hungover? How do they act when other people are drunk or hungover? Kind or teasing?
Ahhh yup. The drunk scene with Autumn is a regular occurrence if they can’t sleep or want to celebrate something. Max is more cheerful when drunk and definitely very snuggly. Huge affectionate drunk. Fun Fact: Leo getting overheated and taking off his jeans in that scene is 100% based on one of my roommates at university. When she drank, she would always complain about how hot it was and strip down to her underwear. Sometimes her head would get stuck in her shirt. So that’s drunk Leo. Max being an affectionate drunk and Leo taking his clothes off drunk means there is a lot of giggly clumsy drunk sex in the yardhouse and it is very stupidcute. They’re both pretty standard hung over- grumpy and slow. When Autumn or Mina drink without them, they go full on mom friend.
32. What do they dress like? What sorta shops do they buy clothes from? Do they wear the fashion that they like? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear makeup? What’s their hair like?
The Mercys share the same wardrobe (aside from undies and shoes). They have picked up a collection of layers from thriftshops and such throughout the years. Max’s checkplaid coat is a prized possession. It’s the warmest thing they’ve got. When they left the house the first time, max bleached her hair a goldy-honey blond and kept dying it. But since Mina hired them, it’s been growing out ever since. She wears hats most of the time anyway, so the dark roots are barely visible, even tho it’s gotten past her earlobes. Leo has been thinking about cutting his hair again, but Max is trying to talk him out of it because she not so secretly likes it long. No makeup in years. Max misses it sometimes.
33. What underwear do they wear? Boxers or briefs? Lacey? Comfy granny panties?
From Autumn’s trips to the yardhouse we know this: Leo is a boxers and undershirts kinda guy, and Max is all about the lace and silk and satin. That makes it sound like this story is much sexier than it is.
34. What is their body type? How tall are they? Do they like their body?
Fairly fit from all the physical work, but in an average sort of way. They are about the same height-pretty average. They both have moments of vanity in between not really thinking about their own body much at all.
35. What’s their guilty pleasure? What is their totally unguilty pleasure?
Max and her silky intimates. Leo sometimes watches the same movie over and over again just because he doesn’t want to get up to change it. THeir relationship with one another is… complicated. They both feel guilty and decidedly unguilty about it.
36. What are they good at? What hobbies do they like? Can they sing?
They both have gotten pretty good at auto repair throughout the years. Max is stupid good at climbing. Trees, rocks, buildings. She sits out on the roof of the yardhouse when she’s annoyed with Leo and it is very frustrating. She’s also an amazing speed reader with high retention. If they ever need to look up how to do something, Max will read an article or book- paraphrasing outloud to instruct Leo as he tries it. Secret time: way back when he was very little, Marlene made Leo take dance and piano lessons. He hated it and found ways to skip out on the lessons pretty early on, but he still retained quite a bit. Now he just likes dicking around with weird little diy projects- fixing things and improving things around the yardhouse- making new candles out of the drippings and blunt ends of old ones.
37. Do they like to read? Are they a fast or slow reader? Do they like poetry? Fictional or non fiction?
Max reads constantly- and fast. She’ll read anything, but has a soft spot for epic adventures. Tolkein, Dumas, that kind of thing. Leo likes to read, but he’s slower and prefers quick, fun genre pieces.
38. What do they admire in others? What talents do they wish they had?
I think they admire people who have found their place and are comfortable in their lives. They realize what a rare thing that is and are struggling so much to find some sort of homeostasis, they really appreciate those who are self aware and self assured at the same time.
39. Do they like letters? Or prefer emails/messaging?
Definitely phonecall or text people. If communication other than face-to-face is necessary at all.
40. Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert?
Coffee drinkers. But there’s a case of redbull in the yardhouse basement for emergency situations.
41. What’s their sexuality? What do they find attractive? Physically and mentally? What do they like/need in a relationship?
Max is definitely bisexual because she and Autumn will not stop with the ust no matter what I do. These bisexuals. I can’t take them anywhere. I assume Leo is straight, but he doesn’t interact with any men other than the accountant, so this could very well be a case of my characters keeping secrets from me.
Well, the two of them are in the rare situation of finding their soulmate at a very early age, so really, the venn diagram of “qualities I find attractive” and “qualities of my partner” for both of them is pretty much a circle.
I think they get a lot of what they need from one another, but they could stand to work on their relationship and their lives outside of one another. Even when it’s fairly stable, codependency is pretty damn unhealthy.
42. What are their goals? What would they sacrifice anything for? What is their secret ambition?
Goals are really just to keep one another safe and hopefully work back towards something resembling the people that Charlie loved so much.
43. Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non religious people?
I always thought Marlene came from a very traditional Catholic family. She only seemed to go to church when things were going well and she was feeling stable tho, so Leo has mostly good memories attached to religion. After Charlie disappeared, he leaned hard into Saint Philomena icons and such because it felt better to pray than do nothing.
Dirk, and Max’s mom, were never religious so she doesn’t have many feelings on the subject either way. She might have some bitter thoughts towards it from time to time, but won’t badmouth anything she knows is comforting to Leo.
44. What is their favourite season? Type of weather? Are they good in the cold or the heat? What weather do they complain in the most?
Definitely winter people. *Stefano from SNL voice* Hot food. Stiff drinks. SNUGGLES.
45. How do other people see them? Is it similar to how they see themselves?
That’s a hard one. Obviously people find them a bit off putting and weird most of the time. But Mina and Autumn at least also trust them and believe them to be capable, and in that, sort of develop fondness for their weirdness. I think for both of them, their sense of self is wrapped up in their sense of one another, so they aren’t very objective about themselves as individuals. That is a very wishywashy answer but here we are.
46. Do they make a good first impression? Does their first impression reflect them accurately? How do they introduce themselves?
They have never been very good with the first impressions, but they are pretty accurate to their typical behavior. Whether others warm up to them after getting used to it or not is up to that other person.
47. How do they act in a formal occasion? What do they think of black tie wear? Do they enjoy fancy parties and love to chit chat or loathe the whole event?
In my constantly running mental “Charlie lives!au,” the mercys are expected to attend all kinds of high end social gatherings. They hate them on principal more than actual dislike of being at them. But they find ways to make them fun for themselves. Embarrassing Dirk and Marlene in any way they can mostly. subtly needling people they don’t like. Etc.
Leo doesn’t like dressing up, and Marlene is always trying to tell Max how to dress so it’s a point of tension. Max will always do the exact opposite with her clothes that Marlene wants, so if she gets the “show some leg and pop some cleave- we need these people in a good mood” order, she shows up in high necks and full skirts; if it’s “keep it classy, we need to be a wholesome all american family here,” she’s nothing but slink, open backs and thigh slits.
Once Charlie gets older and starts to attend these gatherings as well, they are on constant alert, making sure she doesn’t interact too much with the wrong people.
48. Do they enjoy any parties? If so what kind? Do they organise the party or just turn up? How do they act? What if they didn’t want to go but were dragged along by a friend?
Well, as the story stands they don’t attend any parties. The closest they get is drinking with Autumn in the one scene in the screenplay. They like that just fine.
49. What is their most valued object? Are they sentimental? Is there something they have to take everywhere with them?
Leo still has a picture of Charlie and a Saint Philomena charm in his truck that he’d freak if he lost. Max has a beaded bracelet from her mother that only Leo has ever seen. She never wears it, but keeps it in a go bag just in case they have to make a quick run for it.
50. If they could only take one bag of stuff somewhere with them: what would they pack? What do they consider their essentials?
They definitely have a go bag. Big wad of cash, basic survival materials in case they have to keep off the grid. fake ids. They’ve got it covered.

Max and Gabriel for any of the ship memes you want to do
OTP Asks 1, 2, 3 || Accepting
Excuse me as a do all three~~.. *cough*
Also, long post so I put it under a ‘read more’
WHO USUALLY INITIATES THINGS?: Mmm, I’d say they’re both pretty comfortable asking each other to ‘initiate’ things. Though Gabe might try to tease Max until he gets fed up.WHO IS LOUDER?: 1000000% Gabe. Though he usually tries to make a game out of it, seeing if his partner can make him moan/make noises louder than breathy whispers.WHO LIKES TO ‘DRESS UP’ AND HOW?: Gabe, without a doubt. He’s... Very into pet play and other things. WHO IS MORE EXPERIMENTAL?: I’d say they both are. But Gabe is probably the more willing to suggest something pretty out there.WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO BE CAUGHT MASTURBATING?: Hm.. It could honestly go either way. They both know each other’s schedule extremely well and probably wouldn’t accidentally be caught masturbating. But.. Probably Gabe, at least more often?WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO SUGGEST A THREESOME?: ... I’d say, Gabe. I am pretty damned sure that Max is mostly if not completely monogamous so the idea would never really occur to him. WHO COMES FIRST?: This is a tricky one... Both of them like to take care of their partners, so they both make it a competition to see who comes first. It’s honestly all up to who touches the sensitive spot first/more often.WHO IS BETTER AT ORAL?: I... Kinda want to say, Gabe, because of, well. Reasons.WHO ENJOYS BEING SUBMISSIVE MORE?: Gabe, but he does take on the dom role if Max asks him to/expresses a desire to be dominated.WHICH KINKS DO THEY SHARE?: Oh, quite a lot. In all honestly, I would have to say they share most, if not all of the same kinks.WHO IS THE BIGGER TEASE?: Gabe, without a doubt.WHAT’S THE WEIRDEST PLACE THEY HAD SEX AT?: Hm... It would be somewhere public... Perhaps in the stall of a dressing room at a mall or something of the like.WHO IS TALKING DIRTY?: They both do? Probably Gabe more so. He enjoys being able to use his words to make his partners melt.FAVOURITE POSITION?: Somewhere where they can look into each other’s eyes. Probably either missionary or cowgirl... (I actually kinda shuddered at typing that)WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO GET WHINEY?: ... Sweet fucking lord, Gabe without a doubt.
who wakes up first in the morning: Max.who’s the first to fall asleep at night: Mmm... They usually fall asleep at close to the same time.what they playfully tease each other over: Gabe teases Max that he can start to see gray hairs mixing with the dark strands. Max teases Gabe that he’s going to get arthritis with how sloppy his posture is, especially when he’s tattooing.what they do when the other’s having a bad day: Gabe just forces Max to sit down, grabbing a hot chocolate, popcorn, and other snacks before settling himself into the other’s lap, an impromptu movie night. Max simply picks Gabe up and tosses him into their bed before grabbing some water and food before wrapping himself around the other.how they say ‘i’m sorry’ after arguments: Gabe is quiet and skittish, silently watching Max from afar before he finally makes a move to apologize. Granted, this would be at least two days later, but the artist would simply bury his face into the other’s shoulder and wrap his arms around his waist, trying to meld their flesh together. Max is silent as he gently pulls the smaller into his lap, resting his chin on top of his head, thumbs rubbing against his waist before he quietly exhales and murmurs his apology right into Gabe’s ear.which one’s more ticklish: Gabe, he will without a doubt kick the fuck out of someone if they tickle him without warning.their favorite rainy day activities: They enjoy going out in the rain and splashing around in the puddles with their dogs. Other than that... They usually spend the day quietly inside, Gabe working on his newest sketch while Max cooks or they both settle down to watch something on TV.how they surprise each other: Gabe is terrible with surprises, and can’t keep secrets for the life of him. So that’s why he has Izzy buy Max’s gift and forces her to not tell him what she got him so that he doesn’t ruin the surprise. Max will periodically make breakfast in bed for Gabe, or buy him a bouquet of flowers and drop them off at his work.their most sickening shows of public affection: It would probably be whenever they start teasing each other in public. So little gropes here and there, quiet giggles and noises as they struggle to contain their glee, as well as slight arousal.
How did they meet?: If we’re going with the modern thread right now... Then Max was interested in getting another tattoo and found his way to Gabe’s and Danny’s tattoo shop. Who developed romantic feelings first?: Hm... I kinda want to say, Gabe? They were certainly attracted to each other at first glance, but I think Gabe say some semblance of hope that he could have a future with the other first.Who is their biggest “shipper?”: I want to say their closest siblings/family/friends.When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances?: I do believe we discussed this and said that it was after Max first met Gabe’s father/after a nightmare or something. This would be... At least a month or two into the relationship.Who confessed their feelings first?: ... I want to say a sleepy Max to a not-quite-asleep Gabe. What was their first official date?: Hm... They’d both want it to be pretty private, at least at first. So probably a café or maybe a movie and dinner after.How do they feel about double dates/group dates?: I think that they’re quite okay with doing group couple things. Mostly with Izzy and Aden though.What do they do in their down time?: That... Is a loaded question! Gabe is almost always working on new sketches or art or baking and always tries to drag Max along with his escapades. Max is more content to cook, read and/or watch some TV.What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like?: Hahhhhh. I think that the Trevelyan parents would adore Gabe. He’s just the right amount of hype that keeps Max on his toes, but it’s obvious that he adores the man like no other. The Aquilus parents on the other hand... Gabe would never willingly take Max to meet them.What was their first fight over and how did they get past it?: Hm.... One of them not taking care of themselves. Either Max not taking his pain medication/not going to physical therapy or something of the like. Or Gabe not taking his anti-depressants, ADHD pills, etc. It takes a bit, but the two realize that whilst they are annoyed with one another, something this fixable shouldn’t get in the way of their relationship.Which one is more easily made jealous?: Kinda want to say, Max. Or well, he’s more visibly jealous. Gabe can hide his for quite some time until he reaches his breaking point.What is their favorite thing to get to eat?: Honestly? Anything. I don’t think that either of them are really picky eaters, though Gabe probably drags Max to all different kinds of Asian restaurants.Who’s the cuddly one? What their favorite cuddling position?: They’re both extremely cuddly, and I would have to say... Gabe’s head resting on Max’s chest as their feet become more and more entangled.Are they hand holders?: Oh most definitely, Gabe craves that sort of soft attention.How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What're the circumstances?: Hm... At least... 3 months? So perhaps after the party that the Trevelyan parents invited them to? They’re both a bit tipsy as they stumble into their hotel room, but the subtle glances and touches had become too much. Who tops?: Max, although Gabe will sometimes top if Max wishes him to do so.What’s the worst first they’ve ever gotten into?: Honestly? I’m not sure as of right now. It might have something to do with Gabe hiding his family from Max and the other finally gets fed up with not knowing and cracks open the can of worms without even really realizing it.Who does the shopping and the cooking?: They both do, it’s something that they adore doing together.Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness?: Hm... I’d say Max, but he’s probably not a whole lot neater.Who proposes?: ... Max. He’d probably ask his parents for a family ring, and if they didn’t have one, he’d go out and craft one himself.Do they have joined Bachelor/Bachelorette parties or separate?: Joined, just because their groups of friends aren’t that large separate and the two just want to enjoy time together before the ceremony.Who is the best man/maid of honor? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids?: Max - Aden, Gabe - Izzy. As for groomsmen... Probably Fen and Danny for Gabe, I’m not 100% sure about Max.Big Ceremony or Small?: Decently sized because I’m sure that Max’s parents would have a heart attack if their youngest had a tiny wedding. But only about 200ish people are at the wedding. (... Is that a lot of people for a wedding?)Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where?: Hm... Anywhere warm. Maybe Mexico, Italy, Spain. Or perhaps they would travel to Korea so Gabe could show him all of the sights. Do they have children? How many?: At least one son and one daughter... It’d be hilarious if the two were twins....

Tell It to Me Straight: Is Wine Ruining Me or Saving Me?
http://fashion-trendin.com/tell-it-to-me-straight-is-wine-ruining-me-or-saving-me/
Tell It to Me Straight: Is Wine Ruining Me or Saving Me?
I
‘m seated at my kitchen counter with a glass of wine next to me. I feel especially writerly but look especially millennial because the choice color of this afternoon’s poison is nary a mature red nor an intellectual white. Instead, I am drinking summer’s liquid anthem — rosé, which carries forth a pastel shade of salmon pink that slides down the throat tasting like an indigenous flower plucked from a garden in Massachu–wait, no, that’s not right. It slides down the throat dancing like a ballerina, artfully swaying her bod–no, that’s not it either. It slides down the throat like…like…acid. Yes. It slides down the throat like acid.
As I ponder this description, I begin to wonder: Why am I drinking something that slides down my throat like acid? And thus an investigation, born and bred on the internet and based on the moot information it delivers on the effects of wine consumption, ensues.
Time published a story in 2015 that cited an experiment wherein 224 participants were placed on the same Mediterranean diet and asked to drink a 5 oz. glass of water or wine each night for two years. The group that drank wine (whether white or red) reported better sleep quality (this is a side effect I, for one, have never experienced), while those who drank exclusively red wine maintained an increased level of good HDL cholesterol (the kind that indicates a lower risk of heart disease).
Mayo Clinic went so far as to add that resveratrol, an ingredient found in wine, may help prevent blood clots and damage to blood vessels. Late last year, The Washington Post published a still in favor but slightly less rosy take on this theory, acknowledging the implied benefits but addressing other risks that arise, such as “rhythm alteration of the heart” (not that thing where the little man who lives inside of your vascular organ stops doing the sprinkler and starts doing the worm, if you can believe it!).
But then, earlier this year, a new study — probably not sponsored by the state of California or, more specifically, Napa Valley — emerged that included a chilling thought: “Having 10 or more drinks per week was associated with up to two years shorter life expectancy, which equates to losing 15 minutes of life for each unit above the safe amount, the equivalent of smoking a cigarette.” From there, my Google search tab opened the floodgates and so it began.
From Medical News Today, “Even light drinkers are at risk of cancer.” From The Cut, “Having a Glass of Wine Each Day Increases Your Breast Cancer Risk,” and from my bible, Cancer.gov, a fact sheet explicitly drawing the correlation between wine consumption and an increased risk in breast, head and neck, liver, colorectal and esophageal cancers. That one really made me stop short in the blur of a budding sitcom that is my life as a Bad Mom on Maternity Leave.
So what is it, dammit? Who am I supposed to believe, the wine evangelists or the naysayers? And particularly at this unique and merry inflection point — the beginning of summer! — where the wine flows like termites inside a plank of wood.
I’ll admit skepticism when I first read about the benefits of wine consumption. Resveratrol promotes anti-aging and yet, drinking makes me look older (I can count the number of wrinkles I have accrued that are direct descendants of my ancestor, C.H. Ardonnay). Intake promotes heart health, but have you ever tried to exercise the morning after a dinner date with ~Destiny~? It’s LOL. And for whatever antioxidants may or may not be present in the liquid confidence, I am sure if not certain that there are better ways (blueberries, grape skins, peanuts!) to reap those.
Of course, each of the studies that have championed the benefits have also explicitly mentioned that consumption should not exceed a single 5 oz. glass. But when we hear kale is good for you, we milk it, literally, for all that it is worth (see: The Green Juice). When coconut oil becomes a beacon of vitality, we are told to apply it like lotion to every square inch of our bodies, and so when wine becomes an ally, do you really think those who rejoice in the news will stop at one?
Maybe I’m projecting, but the real owner of this heartbreak hotel is the fact that no one, not a single source, has mentioned a thing about rosé being even remotely okay for you. Somebody! Quick! Call Al Roker and tell him it’s over. Summer is dead.
Still confused about which direction to turn (read: how to continue to justify drinking), I hit up Dr. Robin Berzin, the founder of Parsley Health. She said, “A little goes a long way is my slogan with wine.” Did I find this answer satisfying? Absolutely not. Did I respect it nonetheless? I guess so.
“Here are the basics,” she told me. “The resveratrol is good for anti-aging and moderate intake can promote heart health,” but on the flip side, it is “dehydrating, addictive and a toxin to the liver and brain that depletes vitamin B, can trigger anxiety and depression, interrupts quality sleep and thus, in turn, dis-regulates blood sugar and metabolism.”
Wait a shit! But didn’t Time announce the opposite? Said Dr. James O’Keeffe, the physician interviewed in the aforementioned 2015 story, “If you have a glass of red wine with your evening meal tonight, your peak blood sugar, if you measured it an hour later, would be about 30% lower than if you hadn’t had the wine.”
Dr. Berzin goes on. “I recommend taking at least three days off per week from drinking and maxing out at one to two drinks when you do.” The negative side effects tethered to expenditure are cumulative, so the effects of poor sleep and dehydration and nutrient depletion and inflammation happen over time. “While alcohol is cleared from your system in a matter of hours, meaning it’s gone, it can take days for your body to heal from the toxic exposure.” (That exposure being the enzymes that break down into acetaldehyde, a carcinogen.)
“Like cigarettes.” (There’s that grisly comparison again!) “The body can clean up the damage of drinking with minimal exposure, so one hit isn’t what kills you. But in alcohol’s case, the benefits in low-level consumption might be outweighed by the negatives of regular heavy consumption.”
So, can wine be good for you???????????????????????????????????
“Sure!” I wish she had just stopped there. But nooooooo: “In moderation.” Sorry, I fell asleep for a second. “The test is having none for about a month, seeing how you feel, then reintroducing it and seeing how things change in your body, mood and life. If things aren’t so great, then maybe alcohol isn’t for you on a regular basis. If you feel no different, then lucky you!”
Tequila, anyone?
