I'm rewatching Manner of Death with my friends who have never seen it in advance of 4 Minutes Friday, and experiencing Inspector M with people who have seen Wandee Goodday and more or less shriek like they're at a Beatles concert every time Great comes onscreen means I'm paying a lot more attention to his character this time around instead of just giggling at his incompetence and gratuitously tight uniform, then redirecting my attention. We all firmly believe he's in love with Doctor Bun but physiologically incapable of not fumbling that bag every chance he gets; I cannot believe M had a chance to court the hot doctor before every other character in the series fell in love with him, and he left Bun alone at a club to go pratfall into his future husband's arms instead of properly wining and dining him himself. Absolutely a metaphor for his police work. For me the absolute funniest thing M did so far was get REALLY insulted and upset when Doctor Bun said cops were wasting taxpayer dollars, like this really genuinely hurt his feelings, and go out of his way to follow ONE SINGLE CLUE (the abortion clinic clue he got from the journalist's laptop which BUN put all the effort and legwork into finding and rightfully steals back later), finally do ONE SINGLE PIECE OF WORK (but also arrest Fan, the town hero, so even his one win comes with innate-to-the-job copfails), and come running back to freely hand Bun police documents and bring him into a police interrogation just so he can be like see? see? I am helpful and good! I am still an eligible bachelor in a uniform three sizes too tight wyd tonight

Like he actually says out loud "Now do you think the police are wasting taxpayer dollars :D?" after he does this. He genuinely wants Doctor Bun's approval so badly despite making choice after choice that confirms every ACAB opinion he has. Lol I don't know if I can get across how funny I am finding it but I do think his writing is pretty great in that he is a COP cop, he obviously really believes in the police as an institution and will always choose them first and obey his commander's commands, but this hot man reading him to filth every time he turns around is still shaking him and making him want himself and the police as an institution to be able to be something they're not. Which is an entertaining position for an incompetent policeman to find himself in. I am enjoying it greatly.

For Training Purposes (Alex Rider, T, 2k)

A new lesson at Malagosto reveals the traces of Yassen's legend at Scorpia, but might show Alex more than he wants to see.

“Target down,” a quiet voice stated close to the camera. It was the sniper. But it was also a voice that was oddly familiar. A shiver went down Alex’s spine. There was just the slightest hint of a Russian accent in the words, and it reminded him of the last few minutes on the plane. Yassen Gregorovich. It had to be.  

For the Spyfest 2024 Week 2 prompt: Legend.

Tags: Book 5: Scorpia (Alex Rider), Malagosto, Missing Scene, Dark, Yassen is an exemplary assassin, (as in they literally use his kills to teach new students)

i love the EVIL part of EVILIVE btw. i find fucked up, unnameable unobtainable obsessive life-ending love extremely romantic and delicious. it’s the way things are in the evilive world! things are messy! and bad! and i love it! i (at least currently!!!) do not plan on writing anything pure fluff happiness because that is not something that i wish to extract from this show.. it isn’t there! i have no interest in erasing these harsh realities of evilive in my fics. happy lalala is not fun for me to write, and i won’t do it without a heavy underlying feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty and dread and despair and inevitable death. i like pain :/ and half of this couple is one of the most greedy selfish motherfuckers i have ever come to know and he’s oh so beautiful. so i am sorry if you finished evilive and wanted some kind of fix-it happy gays but i am NOTTTTTTTT the guy for that.

i need to get back to listening to vocaloid\vsynth shit so bad...

Seeing as the person who drew this for me and listens to me yell about these two and Rudyard is currently Illegal For Tumblr, I have been given permission to post this!

So a huge thank you I'm crying @ gunhorse ;0; my kids look great and I wuv them... I'm sobbing.

(And for those wondering, the agent named Bravo encounters Katale a fair amount though completely intentional from her. He thinks that she's just a very nice woman who got mixed up in the wrong crowd and she doesn't seem to wish him hard and he doesn't wish her harm so in the end when he sees her he's putting his gun away into a shoulder holster because he's a Good Boy.)

[factorialsotherfandoms]

Okay got bored of deciphering my own notes, have some scribbled out character background notes (incomplete) for the Brazilians, as they hold the early plot. I also started on a few others, but I'll save them for another time as this is getting far far too long. Forever's feels a bit small, but like. I know his stuff less well and there's fewer complications. Not nearly as many kidnappings for a start.

(For purposes of this AU, XCOM is the Order and ADVENT [ie world-government of invading aliens] is the Federation. Cucuruchos are.. Well. You'll see. If I ever write it.)

Forever - current commanding officer. Was a member of the Order when it first formed, being dragged over from a fledgling if somewhat corrupt political career to serve as a liason between the government and a multi-national anti-alien military organisation. He was prompted to his position by means of dead man's boots; when the original HQ was destroyed, he clawed his own way out of the rubble, picked up a gun, and followed Cellbit's example in raising hell. Since then he's picked up a few more survivors, a lot of new recruits, and everyone listens to him for no reason he can quite work out except maybe they just desperately need someone to listen to. Has been working on anti-alien resistance since the invasion. Exhausted, in pain, he lost a lot when the original HQ was destroyed and the Order legally disbanded, more when the world surrendered to the aliens, and even more when the few survivors he had found were kidnapped or vanished. At this point he's mostly just surviving on the vain hope he can find the other Brazilians - winning against the Federation seems too much rn, but maybe he can find them and run away. Clues do seem to be leading him that way, so long as they are from someone friendly... From a certain standpoint, his severe depression and mental distress following the invasion should probably have him found unfit for duty. Unfortunately this is true of most of their people, and also there isn't really anyone else for people to band around. So he takes meds Aypierre brewed up, and hopes for the best.

Cellbit - currently missing, presumed dead. Was one of the most terrifying people in the old Order as according to their enemies, dabbling his hand in research and being a vicious killer of aliens. With knife alone he had more kills than most senior members. His earliest memories are of being a teenager fighting for his life in a warzone; it is presumed he was local when the war started (usual, human on human war), and just got caught up in it (which... may or may not be true). Had been in prison with Pac & Mike, but was caught and brought back. At that point he was given two options - join the then fledgling Order, or go back to prison. He chose the first, and his reuniting with Tazercraft was awkward to say the least. Over time he became the most highly ranked soldier in the Order, and also one of the best respected - he had an exceptional eye for important details, and was often found in the labs helping with the research. The fact he was technically working for them as a sort of punishment got forgotten as the situation got more dire. When the HQ fell towards the end of the war he was counted among the dead. However, of late, mysterious caches have started showing up, leading Forever and his team towards... Something. While nothing has been proven, Cellbit was well known for his love of puzzles, ciphers, and being a bit of an elusive weirdo. Forever, last of the Brazilian unit still active, desperately hopes the messages are from Cellbit, and that what they are leading him to are what he thinks it is...

Bagi - not yet recruited. Bagi has been looking for her brother for many years, ever since she gave the slip on a secret research facility. She doesn't remember much - if anything - about it, but she knows it once existed, and that is where she and her twin were from. Perhaps their parents worked there, perhaps something more sinister, leaving made her forget too much to remember. Her life was sacrificed for her brother and her chase, crashing against strange... Things at every turn. The alien war was only of note to her because it ruined her chances of breaking her brother out of prison, and she had no legal identity or skills to get in to the then government-funded Order. Once, just once, she nearly caught him - she hasn't seen him since. When the invasion was finalised, Bagi was caught up in one of the major cities - one of the ones where the bombs dropped were bioweapons, somehow twisting human flesh. By good luck and having a gas mask on her due to being a traveller in a war, she survived, only to be chased by undead in the city streets. Better than aliens, still undead. In time she found others, either other survivors of the bombs or people who fled into the ruins for desperation. Some of these survivors bought news of the fall of the Order HQ, and with it - though they did not know it yet - her brother's death. With nothing left Bagi stayed with them, learning stealth and combat and that an alien's flesh is edible, if prepared right. Recently, however, she has heard rumours of if not her brother then people who would know what happened to him returning, and it rekindled a small spark. While she detests the former-Federation workers who have formed their own resistance faction, she volunteered to meet with one as the new Order was facilitating and ensuring no violence from either party, and she hoped to catch someone with information she could use.

Felps - currently missing, presumed dead. A relatively junior officer under the old Order, but also the glue which stuck things together. Felps was technically speaking Cellbit's overseer while he's serving his time as a fighter instead of a prisoner. Despite being severely wounded during the escape attempt, he actually volunteered for the job. He turned a blind eye to a lot of Cellbit's chaos, and also to Pac & Mike's very presence in the Order, earning him friendship and favours from all three of them. He also befriended Forever, becoming the glue which first stuck the five together. He was at the HQ when it was attacked, and has not been seen since. Recently, however, a series of clues has been uncovered by agents of the new Order. While they are trying not to get too hopeful, all evidence indicates that they /might/ be leading to Felps... But if he died at HQ as everyone believes, what precisely does that mean?

Pac & Mike - once a unit, ever a unit. Currently missing, presumed dead. Were the Chief Engineers of the original Order. Their recruitment in the first place was messy - having just broken out of prison, Pac was severely injured. Mike, looking for any sort of medicine, ran into an alien attack. By the time actual forces arrived to help he'd rigged their own explosives to blow, and taken them out. Needing more people they tried to recruit him then; his price was getting Pac actual medical care. While Pac was recovering he'd be sent out on missions, but once they discovered just how deep his engineering knack was - and that Pac, playing with robotics for something to do while recovering from major surgery, was similar - the two were asked to start developing better armour, weapons, medkits, etc. They took to it like a house on fire. The two escaped the destruction of the original Order HQ not via clawing their way out of the rubble like Forever, but simply because they were out gathering parts for their latest project at the time. As soon as they heard the news they went to ground, years of criminal activity helping them hide. It was during this time they picked up Tubbo, and started training him too. Forever found them again when the three were blowing up Federation buildings for fun, and dragged them back in. They managed a while with the new resistance, doing much as they did before. One day they went out to gather parts for an airship they had been trying to repair to make a new base, and neither has been seen since. Officially they are missing, but the general assumption is they are dead.

i need to rewatch that one episode where house uses a wheelchair, cause like why did he look so good. hilarious too, like he was just doing sick tricks, like how did he learn how to do that. also just how petty he is.
