That bisexual man could fix that marriage.

[givekennyabreak]

Ohh I’m sorry to hear you got hurt, good to know you’re feeling better :) my studies are indeed going well

… just wanted to pop in here with another sweet thought though:

(And this scenario only applies if the producers decide to stop killing the good characters)

Donna hosting a dinner (given colony house, I’m sure she’d be the one to host) with the rest of the survivors (main characters only for reasons of space) to see how’s life been treating them and Jade shows up with his pregnant wife (who somehow believed everything). Just imagine him standing in the doorway as he holds her hand, everyone’s eyes going from him to her round belly and back. And at some point during a quite moment with just himself, his wife and Kenny he asks for permission to name his unborn daughter after his mom (sth like Tiana or Tia or sth like that)

No, I’m not sniffling, just my allergies 😭😭😭

Thank you, anon!

I reckon those dinners would be monthly - always at Donna's, because she likes to host and also lives in the intersection of everyone else's places.

Jade is ALWAYS there - annoying everyone, teasing Jim, giving Ethan new projects, teaching Victor how to play the violin.

A year or so passes, before he appears with a guest.

His beloved girlfriend of a bunch of months, who has seen the way his eyes glass over, has woken up more than once with his screaming, dried his tears when it got too much.

The one who believed him.

It's not a surprise when he gets engaged - Tabby helped him pick a ring, Julie gaped at the prices (and maybe he got Julie a pretty ring too, just because. She deserves nice things.).

Everyone attends the wedding as well - Victor plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the violin (the only piece he learned), and Boyd is the one to officiate the ceremony.

No one expects Jade to be a father, he never actually said he wanted that, but a few months of marriage bliss, you notice your feet swelling and your period going bye-bye.

Tabby is the one you call - your mom was still a little baffled that you chose to marry a guy a decade older, so you don't trust her too much on this matter.

Tabby is the one to drive you to the doctor to get a blood test - you don't trust pharmacy ones -, and when it comes out positive, she hugs you, even going as far as staying with you until Jade comes back home.

She waits outside.

And she hears a scream, before barreling in, only to find Jade twirling you around, eyes wide and smiling like a fool.

"I'm gonna be a dad!"

It's all settled. On the next communal dinner, Fatima brings in a cake she baked for you, and you all celebrate it along with Kristi and Mari's wedding anniversary.

A few months later, Jade pulls you to a corner, where Kenny was previously talking to Boyd. He's alone now, blinking as your husband gapes like a fish.

Finally, you sigh, softly taking Kenny's hand in yours.

"It's a girl." You smile, having found that out a few days ago. "Jade and I have talked about names, and we want to honor your mom."

You look at your belly, round and soft.

"It's Tiana. Tiana Herrera." Jade says, looking up at Kenny.

You can see his eyes water, and he sighs shakily, squeezing your hand. Jade's own eyes water, and he brings you two into a group hug.

"It's perfect." Kenny exhales, nodding his head. "Perfect. Thank you."

Guess who little Tiana's godfather is?

Yeah. That's Kenny.

jim being invited to the herrera estate in france for christmas dinner

i've already made this poll but my dumb ass forgot to adjust the voting time from one day to one week. so, round two LMAO

[pinkiethedalek]

@ladyaj-13 tagged me for the three sentences from a WIP, so here goes:

From one in which Morse decides to bake a cake, with predictable results:

“Cake batter doesn’t take cream, unless it’s a recipe that calls for sour cream. Which isn’t cream you’ve left sitting out,” Max added hastily. As brilliant as Morse was, apparently cooking was his Achilles heel.

An AU in which the whole gang is staff at Castle Gate Academy:

Jim Strange was puttering in the band room. This period was prep, but he spent most of it practicing the school song on his trombone. Castle Gate was infamous for its school song being set to the theme from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, to Mr. Bright’s eternal embarrassment.

An AU of the seventh season in which Morse, having spent all he had buying & fixing up the house, takes on housemates: Bright, Strange, Box, and Bright’s cat Gerald:

Gerald, a large, fluffy orange tabby with jade-colored eyes, explored the whole house with his pink nose twitching.

“I hope the squatters didn’t leave anything you can smell,” Morse told the cat as he prowled past. Gerald prrrped at him, before finally curling up in a sunny spot at one end of Bright’s sofa.

[animalids]

Is the cat on your profile pics yours ? If so, could you introduce the little fella ? :3 (and do you have any other pets ?)

He was! He passed a couple years ago, but I like to keep him alive like this. Every time I look at my profile pic I remember him, which is a great comfort. He was a beautiful cat! A blue classic tabby, really big and strong (the vet always commented on how big and beautiful he was), a good hunter... and very very cuddly!  His name was Findus

He died a few months before his 15th birthday, and he died in my arms by a vet who did home visits, so it was fine, but his passing still left a hole in my heart that can only be filled by another cat. Unfortunately my dorm doesn’t allow cats, but one day I’ll have one again

I’ve got a bunch of pets right now, all mostly bugs. I’ll add them under the cut, and if you wanna see more you can go to my pet/art blog @poppys-pets-and-arts

A varying number of Black Beauty Stick Insects (Peruphasma schultei)

Four adult White Jade African Land Snails (Achatina fulica ‘jadatzi’) and a changing number of babies. Top left is Clarabella, top right Horny Jim, bottom left Koldskål (’milk soup’), and bottom right Draco

Two Mexican Red Rump Tarantulas (Tlitocatl vagans). A suspected female (top) and a confirmed male (bottom). I haven’t named them yet, so suggestions are welcome!

A juvenile Rear Horned Baboon (Ceratogyrus darlingi) named Kalibi

A sling Togo Starburst Baboon (Heteroscodra maculata) named Starlight

A sling Pumpkin Patch Tarantula (Hapalopus cf. formosus) called Fun Size Candy Bar (or Candy for short)

Two black labs called Mini (left) and Coco (right)

Forgotten Werecreatures Bios 2.

- Osmina: An anthro styled werepenguin. Osmina's story is a tragic one...her parents never loved her due to how grotesque they thought she was and left her to nearly drown if it wasn't for her were-penguin abilities, she would have drowned. She wants to be loved and respected, hence why she likes hanging out with members of the council sometimes in hopes of running for office, she is a mixture of grotesque and adorable, even when she has weird black ooze dripping from her mouth. Although make one mocking comment about her looks and she will say to you...'still could be worse, my nose could be gushing blood.' Which she demonstrates by showing off just how sharp those chompers are. She's not an animal, she is a human being...actually she's both.

- Donald: Don or 'Donald' is an anthro styled Werelion politician who claims to be unafraid of anything, but actually IS a coward. In the sense that he doesn't like being viewed as such by others so he acts tough and brave to make up for it. Even rodents scare him. He is modelled on and based on Donald Trump.

- Kirsten: A horror loving anthro were-cat, tabby variant.

- Janet: Michael's sister, a female anthro were-panther who got the 'Thriller' side in her from her brother, she is a version of Janet Jackson.

- Damon: An anthro weredog with half demon traits who often gets mistaken for Puro from Changed and hates it when crazed Changed fans follow him around.

- Bethany: An anthro styled were-beast, as in Disney's version of the Beast, who may be odd but has a warm personality and is kind...is made to be a nod to Belle due to her interest in reading and her prom dress looking exactly like Belle's signature yellow gown from the ballroom scene. She tends to lash out a few times due to her anger but she doesn't mean to be like that.

- Ryna: An anthro styled weredog who used to be Julliana's creepy ex-lover with an obsession for Homestuck, especially for Jade Harley..basically she got tired of him going on and on about how he wanted to be her and also she was tired of him picking on others for being 'weird'so she cursed him to be a female weredog like her.

- Sahara: A seductive anthro were-snake, it's implied she's part side-winder.

- Michelle: A fiery anthro werekoopa who is a bad girl/rocker type, she is Bowsette inspired or rather an anthro-ish version of her with red hair, horns, a shell, hypnotic blue eyes, fangs and slightly longer than normal fingernails.

- Helena: An anthro styled werehorse who is similar to Applejack personality-wise.

- Jerry: Jerome 'Jerry' Christmas is an anthro styled weregrinch who actually does enjoy the Christmas season, it's just he gets left out of most fesitivites due to his little problem. He is modelled on Jim Carrey and his last name is a nod to Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber.

“Hey, legend,”~s.m.

Not What I Can’t Have part three, I knowww but y’all will get that soon, don’t worry! I gotta make it perfect first <3.

For now enjoy idkhowmanywords of fluff. Hope y’all enjoy :)

~~~~~~~~~~~

“What next?” I murmured, staring at the illuminated screen of my laptop, at the page half filled with pure mumbo-jumbo. 

How about I put....no.

Oh! What about.....God no.

I slammed my laptop shut, groaning. Having my fingers hover over the keyboard while my brain conjured up and immediately denied the next sentence I would write always drove me over the edge. Being a writer was my dream, yes. But I never imagined that it would cause me so much frustration and anger.

I sighed deeply, picked the laptop up, and walked over to the desk opposite my king sized bed. As I set it down, I heard the tiniest of ‘meows’ come from behind me, and I smiled. I turned to face the door, and, sure enough, my orange Tabby Cat, Jimi, stood  there, staring at me with jade green feline eyes, head tilted, ears pointed, face angry as always.

“I’m okay, Jim. Just...fed up,” I shrugged, walking back over to the bed and crawling back on top of it. I patted the empty spot next to me, and he jumped onto it eagerly. He curled his fluffy, twenty pound body into a tight ball and closed his eyes, setting himself up for one of his many deep slumbers. I sometimes looked at him and felt envious.. If only I could sleep as much as he did. My career, unfortunately, did not make life so easy.

I only ever let Jimi on the bed when my husband Shawn wasn’t home. And tonight was one of those occasions.

I wasn’t mad about it- I had grown used to his absence. It did, however, make his homecomings more anticipated. Holding each other in a tight embrace for however long the universe would allow us would always be the highlight of my year each time he came home from 8 month tours. We had been together for 5 years, married for 1, and yet still, looking at him always reminded how in love I was with him, and never failed to make me fall even deeper.

Tonight, he was at the VMAs in Los Angeles, where  he was nominated and performing. The show was immediately after the end of the NA leg of his tour, so he had to fly to Los Angeles instead of coming straight home.

 Normally, I’d be right by his side at award shows, always being the loudest in the audience and the first to stand when he won an award, but duty held me back. I was extremely backed up on work from my job at Seventeen magazine. Of course, Shawn was one of my top priorities, but that night, my job mattered way more.

I might have been his self proclaimed good luck charm, and he didn’t miss a beat calling me this morning freaking out about his performance, saying that he would totally screw up and embarrass himself in front of tens of thousands of people (though I knew his only concern was Ed Sheeran) because I wasn’t there, but I had to put work first. I was a senior editor for a reason.

However, this senior editor was half a typo away from shooting her laptop with 9mm Glock and quitting her job.

Goddamn, I’m missing the VMAs to struggle with my so called profession? Why was I even hired? I thought. I should have just been a trophy wife. All they had to worry about was which dress to wear for which event and which arm to link with her husband on the red carpet of some frivolous event. The simple life, it seemed.

I looked at Jimi, he was fast asleep. Jimi. So named after Jimi Hendrix, legendary guitarist and one of Shawn’s idols. It was a final decision between that and Tori (short for Toronto). In the end we went with the obviously less tacky and Canadian choice. He still barely responded to his given name, but it was already engraved in his collar and there was no going back after shit was set in stone. Or in this case, stainless steel.

He was basically the only company I had in this huge condo in downtown Toronto when Shawn was gone, but I didn’t mind too much. He may have slept 90% of the day, but he was still there with me. And company that was lazy, uncooperative, and the cat equivalent of sleeping beauty was better than no company at all.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by the buzzing of my phone on the bedside table. I stretched my arm over and picked it up. It was a text from Shawn.

You like? 

Attached was a photo of him, black and white, sitting on a couch most likely backstage at the VMAs, staring intensely at the camera. His navy blue suit coat was missing, and the sleeves of his shirt, originally blue and white, were rolled to his elbows. His hand was at his chest with his thumb tucked into his shirt.

I bit my lip and held back a heavy sigh, as though not to wake Jimi up. Again, 5 years together, and things like this didn’t fail to bring me to my knees in awe. My husband was beautiful. I wasn’t being shallow. I was stating facts.

My thumbs flew across the screen as I replied to his text.

Is that even a question? You greek god, you ;)

Not even a second later, his reply came up.

I’m calling you. I miss your voice.

Sure enough, right after his text came, his name came up on the screen of my phone, indicating an incoming call. I wasted no time accepting it and pressing the device to my ear.

“Hey, legend,” I mumbled, smiling lightly.

“Hi, darling,” he whispered. I had heard the phrase so many times, Whether it was when he would come home from the studio and follow it with a hearty kiss, or if he was simply coming up behind me while we made dinner together and I was at the chopping board, he always let those words slip past his mouth and I always let them make my insides melt. His throaty voice and the way each syllable would role off his tongue turned my insides into pure liquid.

“Why is it that I can be so deprived of your voice even though I heard it only this morning?” he chuckled. He was all I heard. There was no background noise. i wondered where he was. Clearly not backstage, other wise I wouldn’t have been able to hear a word he was saying.

“I guess I have than affect on you, huh?” I teased. He could be a cheeky little shit sometimes as well, but I took the cake. I knew how to get under his skin (and use it to my advantage) when the time felt right.

I could almost feel his smirk from the other line. “Of course you do, darling. You know my desperate love for you reaches great lengths. It could put the great wall of China out of business,” he said smugly, and for a moment, I wondered if I was talking to my husband or a Tumblr poet. But then I remembered he could be a mix of both sometimes.

“Whatever, Mendes,” I rolled my eyes and dismissed his comment. I tried my best not to feel his imaginary ego sometimes.It only made it grow, which always made me laugh.

“What are you up to?” he asked.

“Laying on the bed, talking to you, wishing I didn’t choose to be a writer,” I lamented, squeezing my eyes shut.

“Y/N,” Shawn warned, and I winced. He hated it when I talked badly about my job. He always reminded why I was hired and that I shouldn’t doubt my ability or my bosses for hiring me. “How many times have I told you that one or two slip ups is completely normal?” he questioned.

“Says you,” I scoffed. “You slip up in front of millions of people and everyone thinks its adorable. I do it in front of an entire board room and I feel my degree in Journalism being torn to shreds,” I said.

“Adorable?” he laughed. “Hardly,” he said. “Are you taking a break?”

“Yeah, obviously,”

“Good. Don’t worry, darling, you’ll bounce back up in the morning. Whatever you’re writing will hands down be the best thing to ever grace the pages of Seventeen, I know it,”

I narrowed my eyes. “You always say that,”

“And I always mean it,”

I smiled. I knew he did. He always would. “So, are you nervous?” I asked, toying with my wedding ring- my birthstone, pear shaped. It left a permanent imprint on my finger, for I never took it off unless I absolutely had to. I felt naked without it. It had basically become a new body part.

“Eh,” he said. “I guess so. I’m kind of like a see saw right now. I’m either nervous as fuck and ready to back the hell out of this, or so confident I practically feel like God. Its fluctuating,” he explained, and I nodded as if he could see me. 

“Makes sense,” I said. “Don’t worry, rockstar, you’re gonna kill it, I have full faith in you,” I said warmly. Just because I couldn’t be with him didn’t mean I couldn’t send some positive vibes, even if they were received from 4,052 kilometers away.

“Thank you, darling. I still wish you could be here with me. It doesn’t feel the same without you, knowing that this is the first VMAs you’re missing since we started dating,” he sighed. I could picture him, if he was sitting, either toying with the collar of his shirt or bobbing his leg up and down. Right or left?

“Work held me back, Shawn. You know I wish I could be there with you,” I told him.

“I know, baby. But, good luck charm or no good luck charm, talking with you right now is the only confidence boost I need,” he said. “Your voice is like a steroid shot or something, and I mean that in the best way possible,”

My face heated at his quirky, funny, yet so, so endearing comment. “God, if only you knew how badly I wanted to crawl through this phone and tackle you to the ground with kisses,” I groaned, throwing my head back.

Shawn’s POV

“Oh really?” I laughed. “How badly, darling?” I asked, standing up from the leather couch in my personal dressing room. I began to pace the length of the space, my eyes drifting up to the outfit I was to wear on stage that hung on a rack. It was nothing fancy, just a gray shirt with my basic black jeans and boots. I didn’t believe in going over the top with things like that unless it had to do with the musical aspect of the performance. I didn’t have to look like I raided Party City to put on a spectacular show.

She giggled on the other line. “When you get home and I shower you with as many kisses as my lips will allow, you’ll know how bad,” she said, and I was almost certain she winked.

“Then damn, I can’t wait to get home,” I concluded. She could have absolutely nothing waiting for me at home and it would still be anxiously anticipated. Her on a whole would be the only ‘welcome home’ gift I would require.

I loved this woman with my entire body, mind, and soul. She had my heart and I had hers. I dared anybody to try to take them away from us.

“How’s Jimi?” I asked. He was a bossy, orange devil, but I still cared about the little fucker, even if I was convinced he had it out to get me.

“He’s right here next to me, sleeping in your spot,” she answered, and I furrowed my brow.

“Baby, I thought I told you not to-”

“Well someone has to fill your spot!” she argued before I could finish.

I laughed. “God, a cat replaces me when I’m not home. Tragic and wrong,” I shook my head and chuckled. 

“Then you better rush home and rectify said wrong, Mr Mendes,” she teased.

“Oh, trust me, I’m counting down the hours til I can, Mrs Mendes,” I smirked, sticking my free hand in my pocket.

“How many hours?” she asked softly. And then suddenly, I knew I had hit a nerve with my statement. We hadn’t seen each other in months. Talking about my return or her visits was bittersweet. They never lasted as long as we wanted.

“Baby,” I cooed. I wanted nothing more than to fold her in my embrace. But I couldn’t. “Its okay. Only 15 more hours until we get to see each other again. Only 15, nothing more,”

“How I wish it were less,” she laughed slightly, and that lifted my spirits. Hearing her sounds of joy, even if they were the smallest of noises, made me feel like I was about to enter the gates of heaven sometimes.

“I’m not father time, love. But I’ll race home to you as fast as I can as soon as the show is over,” I said. There was a knock on my door and Andrew’s head popped in. “One second, Y/N,” I said, and pressed the phone to my chest. “Is it almost time?”

“Yep,” he nodded. “Get dressed, you’re on in ten,”

I gave him a thumbs up and he closed the door. I put Y/N on speaker and walked over to my change of clothes, pulling them off the rack.

“I’m on soon, baby. I gotta hang up in a bit,” I said. 15 more hours.

“Oh,” she said, and there was most certainly a deep pout on her face. “Well rockstar, I guess this is it,” she exclaimed, perking up.

“This is it!” I repeated, chuckling. I pulled my dress shirt off the put the other one on, buttoning it up almost all the way before I removed my belt and dress pants, pulling the black jeans on. “Hey, darling?” I asked after my pants were zipped up.

“Yeah, babe?” she answered.

“You’ll be watching, right?” I clarified. I knew she would be, but what if at the last second she wouldn’t? Maybe she didn’t want to see her trainwreck of a husband totally fuck it up (in the terribly bad way) on the stage? Even through the TV she would feel the humiliation.

“No, Shawn, I won’t be watching at all. I’ll be too busy trying to teach Jimi to write an article for me,” she drawled sarcastically.

I groaned jokingly and stomped my foot after I laced up my boots. “Can you not joke for a second, love?” I laughed, taking her off speaker and bringing the phone back to my ear. I looked in the mirror and straightened my hair, combing he loose strands back from my forehead. Fresh haircuts never lasted long- my hair grew quick. My fans loved it. I was always led myself to think they love ‘the curls’ more than me.

“Alright, alright,” she sighed. “Shawn, you know I’ll always have my eyes on your performances, even in the most unreasonable, unrealistic of circumstances. I wouldn’t miss you for the world,” she said sincerely. I could picture the look in her glimmering eyes, the way they would twinkle in a manner only for me, only when she looked at me.

“You promise?” her reassurance was my saving grace at this point. My heart rammed against my chest like a caged beast wanting to escape incarceration. My palms were sweaty and my body trembled. The norm. The day this didn’t happen before any performance that I had, was the day I stopped being human. I craved this feeling to remind me that I cared, but at the same time, I dreaded it, because it brought on an onslaught of negative ‘what ifs’ that flooded my brain.

“I promise, Shawn. I’ll always promise to be there for you.Even if I’m not with you. I will always be there for you,” she said, and I knew she was nodding firmly.

My darling. I couldn’t picture life with out her anymore. She had become my everything.

“I love you so much,” I mused, feeling my throat clog up. The things she did to me. This wouldn’t be the first time her words brought me to tears. It wouldn’t be the last either.

“I love you too, big guy. Go out there and kill it!” she squealed.

I turned the doorknob and stepped out. My team stood outside the door, scrambling to get the equipment ready.

“Bye bye, darling. I’ll be picturing you out there,” I said.

She giggled that angel like giggle. “Bye, legend,” she said, and kissed the receiver before hanging up.

Legend. She always called me that. And she was one of the reasons I would work as hard as I possible could until i became one. One like her.

She was my legend.

Hope y’all enjoyed :)

Gotham mid-season finale (long post)

just....everything about this episode was fantastic

Victor turning on Penguin was insane. but the Falcones were there well before Penguin was; old loyalty runs deep.

I was pissed at first that this whole Sofia plotline was wrapping up to be just about her wanting her father’s approval, and Carmine not believing in her. don’t get me wrong, she has more to learn, but she’s come far and he should’ve seen that.

but even though she plays off her father’s legacy, she wants this for herself as much as for the Falcone name. I also want her and the lady squad to work together and be a force to be reckoned with. because this show needs more female villains/anti heroes who are just as feared and respected as Penguin or Carmine

and she is ruthless. bringing the Pyg to Gotham, give Jim an enemy to defeat while she works on taking out Penguin? control the GCPD? and Crystal Reed has done a wonderful job. kudos all around.

Jim is staying at the GCPD because they need someone to inspire them. a lie for the greater good. He’s been naive before, and he’s pulled himself out the darkness too; I think he’s reached a balance, finally, between the naive do gooder, and the jaded ex cop.

even though I think it’s a good thing Harvey isn’t captain right now, he still gave good advice to Jim. and I hope that in the future, these two can work together again.

Tabby beating Butch to make him remember was kinda awful; I know it ultimately worked, but still.

Bruce continues to run from his mistake and his pain, burying himself in all these distractions while Alfred keeps trying to pick up the pieces. I don’t know exactly what the right approach is here; I’m not a parent, or a guardian, so I know whatever i say doesn’t necessarily have as much as weight than if it did.

but that argument, and that fight was painful to watch; it almost reminds me of when Oliver wanted to give up being the Green Arrow because of the darkness Prometheus forced him to face within himself, and Diggle (and the others) had to really fight to get through to him. that push and pull between what you believe about yourself, vs. how others see you can be a really, really hard thing to reconcile, when you feel like you can’t believe the good others see in you, and you don’t see it in yourself.

as hard as it is, there has to be a balance between pushing and never getting anywhere (and as we see here, pushing too hard), and letting them work it out in their own way while still being there for them.

and Alfred is leaving, not only because Bruce fired him, but because if he has him arrested,  Alfred can’t be there when he hopefully comes back from all this (and we know he will)

ultimately, I think Bruce has to, on some level, WANT to come back. and then I want all his loved ones to help (Alfred, Jim, even Selina because I need Batcat and I need them to understand each other on a deeper level because they. would. get. it. )

anyway, that ending was nuts. Penguin locked up, and now teaming up with Joker? fuck yes!

I fucking love this show

now that i have your answer about jade being bisexual, do you think tabitha knows? do you think jim knows? (i think he thinks of jade as tabby gay pet or something close to this. i think when he realizes that she's spending so much time with the bisexual nerd millionaire he'll be 👁👄👁

Thanks for asking!

I was surprised with how chill Jim was toward Jade & Tabitha bringing Ethan for a hike to the place he was just eager to escape. At first, Jim looked pissed. He seemed about to flip out until Jade completely disarmed him.

Which seems like a weird reaction for Jim. If it was some other guy, I think Jim would've been all jealous & "you don't make decisions for my wife!". But he wasn't because Jim doesn't see Jade as a threat.

So buckle in - here goes my hc.

Jim is so enamored with Jade that it doesn't even occur to Jim that Jade would be interested in anyone but him. Once he finally realizes Jade is also into Tabitha (maybe more into Tabitha now), Jim is going to be in an existential crisis and jealous of both of them. But he'll definitely be most upset/jealous of Tabitha stealing his new boyfriend that he thought he had to himself. Jim hasn't yet accepted he's also into guys yet, so it may all come out in the form of acting jealous of Jade and upset about Tabitha going on wild goose chases.

Tabitha definitely noticed Jade and Jim were into each other from the beginning. She was fine with because it distracted Jim and made him less cranky toward her. Other than that, she never spent much thought on Jade's sexuality. She's been focused on her kids and getting out of there.

Right now, she's starting to acknowledge that she gets a little rush when they're working together. And she's noticed that maybe he does too, but she's trying to ignore it. She feels drawn more toward Jade because he makes her feel validated while Jim tends to be dismissive.

jim/jade/tabby post-escape scenario

i know they won't escape this season but what if they did. and they were poly about it

jade goes back to NY to sort out his financial business and get his life back in order

he hasn't seen jim and tabitha in a few months now, but he misses them like crazy, specially tabitha

he finally reaches out to ask how they're doing, tabitha says its hard dealing with the separation, etc.

the kids are specially struggling to adjust back to their normal lives, and she feels like she's losing control of the situation

jade asks if money would help. she tells him that actually, if he came for a visit it might really help ethan because he keeps asking about him and victor and everyone else from the town

jade shows up on tabitha's doorstep looking his best, and holding a bouquet of roses

jim is there when she opens the door

"i thought you said you had separated"

turns out, they didn't want to shake up the kids lives even further, so they agreed to keep living together for a couple of years until julie went off to college

apparently the separation really helped the friction between them decrease, so at least the constant arguments are no longer a problem in the household

but jim is still definitely not ready to watch someone else try to woo his ex-wife. he can't decide if it being jade makes it slightly less terrible or a million times worse

he grabs his coat off a hanger in the hallway and walks towards the door

tabitha: "where are you going?"

jim: "for a walk!"

he storms past jade, not caring that he's shoving him with his shoulder as he does so, and closes the door behind him

tabitha takes the flowers and shakes her head with a sigh. "he always does this!"

her accent comes through as she complains

jade can't stop staring at her. he missed her so much, and he realises that he never wants to be far from her again if he can help it

"i'm sorry. this was probably a terrible idea."

tabitha sighs again, but she smiles. she smiles, and it makes his heart swell three times its size

"i really missed you." he points at the roses. "just. ignore those. it just felt right, but, you know—i can be a fucking idiot sometimes, so..."

she just lets him talk. there's a fondness in her eyes.

"can you say something?"

"i... i don't know" she says with a shrug "i don't know. if you want an answer—i don't know"

"no, of course, i... i don't know what i expected. listen, i'll come back later, just text me when the kids are back from school, okay?"

tabitha nods, and he leaves. he runs into jim on his way out, who was just sitting in his car parked right around the corner. jade gets in the car

"look, i can't blame you for trying"

"she said 'i don't know'. what do you think that means?"

"i think it means that you might be in for one hell of a ride."

later, ethan is so happy to see jade, and julie pretends to be barely tolerating him but makes no efforts to leave the room

they all notice how tabitha looks happier with jade around, except for jade who has no frame of reference and assumes she must be just tolerating his presence after the confession

jade offers to take the whole family out for dinner, but julie is working hard to catch up with her studies to graduate with her friends so it's just them and ethan (because jim and tabitha promised julie that they wouldn't make her babysit ethan anymore)

the dinner —at the fanciest restaurant in town, which made jim roll his eyes but provided lots of fun and entertainment for ethan—goes surprisingly well, just like the afternoon went

jim takes ethan and leaves to refuel the car while jade takes care of the check (ethan loves it when his dad explains how cars and fuel work)

"i want this" tabitha says out of the blue while they wait for jim to come back

"what?"

"you wanted an answer. i don't want jim to move out. and i don't want you to leave either. i just want this. i want today, every day. is that crazy?"

"it's not crazy. it sounds—perfect, actually"

he sounds like he's about to tear up

they're standing next to each other outside the restaurant. they nod to each other, and her hand finds his own, and her fingers tentatively find their way to interlace with his

he actually does tear up when she does this, and starts apologising

"fuck—sorry, i..."

he needs to take deep breaths

and no, neither of them have the slightest idea of how they're going to bring this up to jim
