I have concluded I like my men covered in blood, whether it be their own or the blood of another, doesn't matter.

the thing about bad buddy is that calling it enemies to lovers is not entirely wrong and is a very succinct and easy way to indicate the general plot, but also one of the only moments that the two main characters are actually personally in conflict with each other lasts about four minutes and is expressed mainly through upset shirtless xylophone playing contrasted with a montage of happy moments that features a time there was triumphant shirt-wearing xylophone playing. and then they both say sorry at literally the exact same time

Still in the process of moving (well, more like trying to get everything settled in and establish a new normal), but I've saw this gorgeous artwork by the incredibly talented @cabbagege and had a moment of how Tech might struggle with the very fact of struggling with prosthetics after *denial is strong in me* surviving the season 2 fall and subsequent craziness to become CX2, and how he might try and fail to talk to Echo about it a couple times, but repeatedly ends up saying nothing because explaining emotions can be hard, but Echo knows and just waits until Tech finally finds the words. Something like

Tech: Functionally, there's very little difference between mechanical limbs and organic.

Echo: *doesn't respond yet, but stops what he's doing to ensure Tech knows he has his full attention.*

Tech: In fact, they are superior in several aspects: strength, durability; even offering additional possible features such as data storage or booster jets.

Echo: *lets out a slow, quiet breath of both relief and sorrow, but continues to wait as Tech maneuvers his emotions.*

Tech: Modern technology even allows the tactile sensation to feel nearly identical to that of natural nerves... but... *he hesitates*

Echo: That almost makes it worse. *He offers quietly.*

Tech: *pauses as he progresses this, staring almost blindly at his artifical hand*

Tech: It shouldn't...

Echo: Yeah... Well, reality doesn't really care about about what *should* and *shouldn't* matter.

Tech slumps slightly, as though Echo's words give an odd sort of permission to feel the depth of a grief he'd tried so hard to ignore, and that permission seemed to grant an odd weightlessness to it even as threatened to drag him to the hard floor. After a moment, he lets himself cave beneath it, sliding down heavily as he watched the mechanical limbs stretch out before him. Echo waits only a moment before quietly joining him, sitting close enough for their shoulders to nearly brush, but granting just enough space to allow Tech to initiate that contact only if he wanted it; only if he was ready.

They're silent for a while, eventually sharing hushed words about how profound those tiny differences in sensation can be; how unsettling that nearly perfect feeling was amidst the subtle reminders of *wrong* when those differences surface, and even tears begin to slip down Tech's face, those words only grow softer as Echo carefully wraps his arm around the taller man's shoulders.

Echo makes a point to comment on when those moments of oddness surface after that: trying to stretch a toe that no longer exists or scratch his thigh where there isn't skin to itch, and that offers an unspoken invitation for Tech to do the same. Over time, those moments turn from startling and unnerving, to muttered annoyances, to something of an inside joke between them, and when Crosshair slowly begins to join them, Tech feels a very different emotion towards his foreign body: gratitude. Because those limbs that weren't his until they had to be granted a means of understanding that he otherwise would never have known, and thus he was able to take the gentle support Echo gave him and extend it toward his other brother in a way that helped each of them heal just that much more.

what did bachelor meals look like before the widespread adoption of modern preservatives… what did people make before easy mac with cut up hot dogs in it... what is the spiritual predecessor to eating sardines straight out of the tin

i think the thing for me and the thing that's actually bothering me the most in general is that i don't think any show in 911's category that i've ever watched (that is: network tv shows that run on a weekly basis for most of the year with no definitive or planned ending until cancellation) has gotten better after killing off a main character

[Images description: Twelve pictures of Star Trek actors. The phrase "thank you for being both amazing actors and amazing people" is written across most of the images one word at a time, except for the two images in the middle. The middle images are of William Shatner, reading "not you!" and Robert Beltran, reading "or you for that matter". The actors in the other images are George Takei, René Auberjonois, DeForest Kelley, Gates McFadden, Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Patrick Stewart, Siddig El Fadil (aka Alexander Siddig), Nichelle Nichols and Leonard Nimoy. End image description.]

Non exhaustive list of course. Many more such cases, in fact feel free to add
