#Arkin O Brien

[mandalorianmeowmeow]

And I've had these for ages. But I just wanted to make an Arkin and Abby. Listen.

I've given up on Abby. She's a head and a body in 2 pieces and I can't figure out how I want her hair. Sadly she wasn't dismembered, so I dunno....

I made Asa 2 ways.....as we know, I support that there is more that one Collector. I will die on this hill. Arkin looked right at Juan and did not see a pudgy pouty white man.

So I have El Caliente and Thicc & Plenty in plushie form.

Then we have a small screaming little shit. (ง'̀-'́)ง (ง'̀-'́)ง

Anon: Short fluff fic of Arkin x reader? Maybe him taking the reader out on a date? please and thank you :3

Word Count: 962

AO3 LINK -> HERE

Notes: We know who sent that, and thank you for it. This is set before they go on the date but plan to go BTW. And yes, Arkin is 32 in this. In 2009, High Steward was 32 when he played Arkin and that’s all we have to go on for his age.

@rppik (editor/co-writer): I like my pathetic divorced Meow Meows UNWELL /lh /don't use that as my editor's note

You’ve known Arkin for a long time. You worked alongside him during his time as a contractor; you knew about his wife, Lisa, and little girl, Cindy. Finally escaping The Collector to find out that Lisa filed divorce papers after he told her to flee completely broke him. He loved his wife, despite her constant gambling and using Cindy as a way to keep him leashed, and watching her leave him after everything he had done to get back to them destroyed the man.

 You had been there throughout the whole shit show, providing as much comfort as you could. Your shitty flat became home to the recovering man, who slept on your couch more than enough times to leave an imprint. Hell, even your bed had become contaminated with his smell on more than one occasion; on some nights, you insisted he spare his back from sleeping on the old piece of junk. But you didn’t kick him out or turn him away. You couldn’t, not when you had seen the previous fights between him and his ex-wife, or how he talked about Cindy in such a caring way, clearly missing her more than air. You couldn't help but want to help the guy, with his unkempt appearance and dark shadows under his eyes being equal parts concerning and somehow handsome on him. And his witty comebacks always made your day, naturally, you had to admit his company wasn't one you minded keeping, even when he was close to hitting rock bottom some days.

You know he doesn’t care for himself like he should, not when he only cared about seeing his kid. With that no longer possible, thanks to Lisa’s papers and custody battle, he would be lucky to see Cindy at all or even get to call her. His will to get better or take care of himself in any way deteriorated rapidly after the decision was finalized; if it wasn’t for your encouragement to shower or eat a little bit, he would have wasted away in your living room.

Of course, you weren't above abusing your professional connections to help, too. An ask here, a bribe there, and the next thing you know, envelopes to small packages full of pictures of Cindy arrived at your work. You would then bring them home to give to Arkin as some sort of gift to show that his baby was okay. He never asked who you talked with to get the photos, and you never told him, either; neither of you minded crossing some lines if it helped. 

And it did help him– The life in the man started to slowly, but surely, trickle back into his being. His eyes seemed brighter, and he started to take care of himself a bit more. He’d even gone back to his previous job as a contractor. He didn’t move out, though, not that you minded him sticking around. To others, it might have been awful to have someone you had helped get back on their feet not go on to leave your home. For you, however, it was just another thing you had hoped would happen, coming to fruition. 

The man you’ve been pining after for years, a best friend and romantic interest, staying with you? While you should feel awful he had to lose his wife and kid for it to happen, you couldn’t help but feel glad in a way. All the same, you couldn’t help but want him to still have some sort of access to Cindy. He loves her, you know, and wouldn’t take that away from him for the world. Even if it meant using some favours on your part, to see him happy and becoming healthy was all you cared about.

At some point, your feelings for him became an open secret, as sharing a living space with the man meant that little could go unnoticed between you two for long; you had yet to breach the topic explicitly, however, knowing he needed time to recover from his previous relationship. It’s on a day both of you are off work that you spring the idea of a date up, if only to test the waters.

“It can be between friends if you prefer, Arkin. I just thought we could go out,” you tell him. You don’t want to force him into joining you if he really doesn’t want to.

“Depends. Where are we goin’?” He’s relaxed on the couch, looking at some of the blueprints for another bit of decor needed on a house he’s going to be working on soon.

“The museum. The one a few blocks away from the bar you used to frequent before that guy happened,” you reply, hinting at The Collector but not outright saying the mass-murderer’s title for Arkin’s peace of mind.

“Is it any good?”

“Depends,” is your answer, echoing his early answer in a teasing tone of voice. You can hear him snort in good humour.

“We can go. Let me just put away these papers. Do I have to dress up?” You give him a quick look over before shaking your head.

“You can dress down for all I care. As long as you have something to cover your muscles.” The pillow cushion that hits you in response makes you laugh. You couldn’t help but poke fun at the other.

“Alright, alright. I’ll throw on my shoes. But you can’t go teasing me like that, I’m too old for it,” he insists lightly.

“You’re thirty-two, Arkin! You’re hardly old, Asshat.” His laughter from your bedroom gets that warm feeling in your gut to curl up close to your heart. Yeah, you’re pretty lucky to have this asshat in your life, despite the circumstances that brought you two together.

Wait Until Dark

(USA 1967)

A heroin smuggling ring. A creepy doll. A corpse. A blind woman alone in her basement apartment in the West Village. These are the elements of Wait Until Dark, a quaint and dingy little crime thriller adapted from Frederick Knott’s 1966 play by screenwriters Robert Carrington and Jane-Howard Carrington.

Suzy Hendrix (Audrey Hepburn) is the hapless gudgeon who, being blind, already has…

[mandalorianmeowmeow]

i made a thing...

[mandalorianmeowmeow]

When will Arkin realize that The Collector was only looking out for his health. Surely in the time that he was captive, Asa didn’t give him a cigarette.

[mandalorianmeowmeow]

The Coll3cted~My Rage Continues..

Yes it’s still in limbo...but maybe there is hope?? Why else would they release more photos...Don’t tease me Marcus, I am fragile and will cry.

Here are some more pics

At least he stores his knives and masks in a loving manner. Better than his spiders. =============================================================

Murder husband, doing murder stuff. He works hard. Don’t just stand there Asa, give the man a hand. Sorry

Those pants look Thicc. I again, hold onto my 3 Collectors, and this is my Thicc & Plenty. haha

============================================================

I thought this was from the end of The Collection, showing how he got his Thicc ass out of the mound of body parts and flames...(I’m picturing lots of Scooby Doo running in place and falling lots whilst still looking sexy AF) But it appears to be from Arkin’s basement.

Again, he looks Thicc (Tbh, it’s protective padding, right??)

And here we have what appears to be a burnt to a crisp Asa. (Deep breath) So did Arkin (the Little Shit) handcuff him to that trunk?? Are we to believe that’s Asa? Also is he wearing a mask, or is it just burnt features? That figure dropped a tonne of weight. He’s just a skinny little statue..

I brightened it and made the figure larger

I swear I will screech like a banshee and pull the hair from my head if this is Asa. If they actually pulled it off with 3 Collectors and this is The Collection’s Thicc Collector. Now I’ve gone and made myself sad, and now kinda hope that it’s just one Collector and they’ve recast him with the slim Fresh from the Beach Point Break guy.

I don’t want to be a widow, again. FRAGILE. But if this is just some random dude in Arkin’s basement, then I want 3 Collectors. ARKIN LOOKED RIGHT AT HIM. He saw a thin POC fella in overalls not a huge white guy in black with loads of cake. I will die with this theory until I see the 3rd movie and they’ve recast again. =============================================================

Elena doing her best Sandra Dee. Can you smoke in a holding cell??

This is the link with a few more pics including the set designs for the prison cell and Arkin’s house.

https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/395835/new-images-emerge-of-the-collector-3-aka-the-collected-currently-stalled-in-productionlimbo/

So....do you think they will actually be able to finish it? I sure hope so.

1) It’s filmed in Vancouver and I can get my Stalk On. (I won’t. I’m a coward) 2) More Asa. 3) More Asa and Arkin dynamic. Gimme.

When do we start the letter writing campaign?? I was thinking they put it off until after the vaccines and then said it was shelved to get our blood pumping.

It worked. I’m both angry and sad that it may not happen because the Producers are being children.

[mandalorianmeowmeow]

Now this is a theory I wanna hear more about 👀

I don't remember her ever being chased or attacked by any of the human dogs ...

I just decided it after watching the deleted scene of Arkin getting the Collector and bringing him to the garage??? storage unit?? Elena spent the entire video getting dolled up. (I would too if I knew my King was coming/also I want to look presentable for Murder) and at the end of the video she puts her head on the trunk. We can hear Asa having a fit inside and it's just the way she laid her head on the trunk and looked at the camera. It just made me think that she was laying out all the tools for the Collector, not Arkin. She didn't look bloodthirsty, she looked concerned. Then we see shots of her looking like she's torturing someone in the stills from The Coll3cted. So I just wondered if maybe she paid some of her dad's guys to track him down before Arkin "I can't use the internet in 2012 O' Brien did. When they found him she went and confronted him. But Asa already knew all about her and her family's loss.

He's a smart dude. There's no doubt in my mind that he noticed how she reacted to Lucello's death. He was a protector and father figure to her. And he'd probably already watched them at their mansion and noticed that even though the dad sent people to save her, he's kinda distant, he shuts down due to his own PTSD and drinks his pain away. Asa could easily play a few manipulation cards:

1) My Father was also distant and had an addiction. We are very similar. I just wanted a father to guide me, no one can protect you like I can.

2) I lost my mother as well as a child. You understand how much that void hurts.

3) Not having a family I had to fend for myself. I fought tooth and nail to get where I am. You remind me of myself with your emotional strength and problem solving skills.

I don't know how to brain wash or manipulate people so I can't really explain how he'd do it, but since I'm easily manipulated, I can understand how she'd fall under his spell. I'm an Abby 5000% except I'm smart enough not to leave my trunk.

I figure he'd work the Father Figure angle (probably why he was wearing Dad clothes. Fucking Elena) offering her emotional support and reconfirming how strong she really is.

I'm reaalllly tired and I can't formulate my thoughts into text. 😭😭
