i had such a good and interesting characterisation thought re. TK in the context of replying to this ask but i don't remember what it was very clearly and so i'm just. sitting here. trying to trigger the same thought
#something something tk would believe/deny it blind. because the idea that a team (even a sub-sub-sub-team) could be betrayed that badly#just wouldn't enter his vocabulary of allowable events#it would not Occur to him that someone might have left the boys for dead like that#marjan would believe it. it would occur to her. she especially has the media literacy for it but also she is not a. cis white man#right? right? but i don't remember exactly how i wanted that point to come up in the newspaper thing and i don't know how i decided#the others were going to fall on that line and anyway#tk would not be UNWILLING to see it he just would miss it the first few times someone said it bc he would not#be expecting to see it. he Would Not be expecting to see it.#'vocabulary of allowable events' is a good way to put it good work me#who would do that? who would just Set Them Up?#that's not even. those details wouldn't be In. there's like Steps to this characterisation even appearing at all#it would not be a direct one-to-one conversation about it just a. note somewhere abstractly that even if it DID come up he wouldn't have#the tools to believe it. .... i am getting lost.#i know the thought is in there i just keep sitting down to write it and going ahhhhhh!#''aster could this not be a direct message'' yeah but i wasn't planning it to be a whole talking it out in the tags#and now they're all in the tags#and now u get this. love u squid#tbd#when i actually write the thing instead of sitting here. contemplating#plus also it . does not require a response im just out louding. cause it's neat!#it's about tk!#it's about who he is at his core including the messy and a little bit mean (accidentally) bits!#sighs sighs sighs sighs. i love him

Did he want to talk about her?
More than anything else in his entire life, sometimes. He felt lost a little, a wobbly sort of want stuck in his chest that was always there when he felt unmoored. TK shut his eyes against the sensation of Grace's hand on his knee, a gesture so simple and so full, both at once. He was really, really lucky to have these guys in his life: the 126 and the extended family, people who were, like, amazing just by existing. Totally natural. "She..." he opened his eyes, shot Grace a look (really?), and then sniffed as he pulled himself up to sit, "god, she was so cool. I always wanted to be as kickass as mum was." He'd always wanted to be a firefighter, but Grace was completely right, he was his mother's son as much as his dad's.
Both legs crossed like a kid at school, now, elbows restin on his knees, he said, "You sure you don't mind me talking about this?" 'cause it would be fair if - "'cause, y'know, I know you've got..." don't take guesses at other people's emotions, his therapist would have told him. He took a breath, caught himself in the act of halfway making a guess, and redirected: "thank you. It's really... really sweet of you to wanna listen."
Tumblr media
The sadness in TK's voice was enough to trigger Grace's protective side, her hand instinctively reaching out to rest on his knee. It was the closest thing that she could reach from where she sat cross-legged on the floor beside him. "I'm sure I would have, baby. From everything I've learned about you, I can see where your mama had some influence and not just your daddy." A soft smile pulled at her lips, even as she pulled her hand back to rest on her own lap. "Do you want to talk about her? I can listen better than most people, I'm happy to do it."

"You should've met my mom." He was lying flat on his back, arms crossed over his torso and tucked into the elbows, eyes on the ceiling. Rueful, maybe. This wasn't said thick with grief, but as with most things about his mom, the grief reached in a little. An implicit part of thinking about her. Anyway: "You would've really liked her."

does your muse routinely keep a grab bag in their home (escape) (in the event of an emergency, they grab the bag and they go), this is my question

oc reporter who just harasses people to get the juiciest details and doesn't care about whether they're stepping on toes or invading privacy. oc reporter who does all the "it was FILMED and RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC?" reporting. oc reporter who cares so much about sharing other people's stories they are a background villain for the city -- but hey, they get the clicks.

started writing a 'tk and the 126 ems team are called to treat your muse (and a variety of others) found held prisoner in a remote and unmarked building which doesn't even appear on satellites etc' starter but i am 1000 words in and they're still getting past the joint military/police clearances to even step foot in the building and i think i started this starter WAY too early
