Kylo Ren, Killing the Past (Sector Qualifier Promo Ver) by David M. Buisan

[tealvenetianmask]

Hell's Belles and who Millie is in her relationships:

Hell’s Belles is light and cute, and the reaction I saw the most was people getting all heart-eyed over Sallie Mae, and she deserved all the love. But I think the short also gives us some real insights into Millie that people tend to overlook. And I think that’s relevant with Ghostfuckers coming up, where presumably (hopefully!) we'll learn more about her internal world and her friendship with Blitz. 

So what new information did we learn about our girl?

For one thing, it's clear that Millie and Sallie Mae are very close in age and their brothers are significantly younger. 

They ran things around the farm together and hung out all the time, probably throughout their childhoods. But I also have a hunch that Millie is the oldest- it’s just a hunch- no proof.

I think it’s because Sallie is so shaken up by her absence . . .

And also because of what we know about Millie's relationship with Moxxie. During most of the M&M centric arcs, she plays a supportive or protective role, rescuing her husband when he's in danger, comforting him when he's upset, and yes, giving him a reality check when he needs it.

In Unhappy Campers, we see that Millie believes her needs (to be supported in turn and celebrated for being her fantastic self) are neglected. A lot of youtube reactors were surprised, but I think it makes perfect sense.

This is a character with "eldest daughter syndrome," which means that she was raised to take on responsibility for others. She instinctively puts herself second and rarely thinks about it, until she realizes that her own needs are being neglected.

I think that even if Millie is the second-oldest, this still stands- I think she was the caretaker sibling, the most supportive, empathetic, and self-assured one. This is a good thing. Maybe she supported Sallie Mae through her transition. Maybe she made sure that the younger kids were taken care of and that all of the work around the farm was complete. I picture her doing all of this with the enthusiasm and joy that she brings to . . . you know . . . slaughtering dozens of enemies in one go.

I think we're seeing growth in Millie with regard to prioritizing her own needs in her relationships, even if a lot of that growth is happening in the background. In Hell's Belles, she tells Sallie Mae that their relationship is a priority without taking on all of the responsibility for that relationship herself.

So . . . we don't know much about how the friendship between Millie and Blitz started, but here's what I think based on what we know about their characters individually and the interactions we've seen.

Millie is super easygoing around Blitz and pretty tolerant of his quirky *cough- super invasive* behavior. She even plays into/encourages his sillier antics pretty often, and just generally seems to trust him as a leader/friend, and he admires her work in turn.

I think there's more to it. I think she's seen Blitz in some really dark places- did they meet in their early assassin days? Like, when Blitz was right out of his relationship with Verosika and reinventing himself?

I think that from what we know about the role Millie plays in her relationships, she was probably supportive at a time when Blitz really needed someone to be. (As for how this works with the timeline of when they each met Moxxie, maybe we'll find out!)

Anyway, I'm excited for Ghostfuckers and wish it weren't so far away. I like that it looks like there'll be some focus on Millie, and I hope we see her strengths on display (because that's always great) but also see some more of her depth. I don't think it's bad at all for her to be a caretaking/supportive friend, sister, and partner. But I guess my main message is- even though those are great things about her, she's more than that, so let's not overlook this awesome lady.

Something is wrong.

There's a weird noise coming from Chase's engine. His shoulders are scrunched to his audials and his finials are pinned back, his optics screwed shut.

But the weirdest part is no one seems to be paying him any mind.

Cody taps the side of Boulder's helm from where he's perched on their shoulder, pulling their attention away from Blades and Heatwave's ping pong game. "What's wrong with Chase?" he asks, pointing to the bot in question, who makes a weird cross between a squeak and a whine.

"Oh! Wait," Boulder claps their hands together as the game rises in ferocity behind them. "You guys have a word for it. He's- uh-"

Suddenly, Chase's plating flaps as air rushes out of all his vents, and his siren gives a WHOOP! on his back. Everything in a ten foot radius rustles with the force of it, and Chase drops his shoulders, clearly feeling some kind of relief.

It kind of looks like... "Sneezing?" Cody guesses.

"Yes, that was it!" Boulder claps their hands together. "That-"

"SCORE!" Heatwave shouts behind them.

"NO! THAT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS!" Blades shouts back. Heatwave grabs the ball from the floor and throws it at Blades, who lets it bounce off his forehead with wide optics. "BOULDER!" he suddenly yells, grabbing onto their arm. "It was my point! Tell him!"

"Quit hiding and tell me yourself!"

In the background, Chase's engines hiccup as he prepares for another sneeze.

Illario: Come. Caterina arranged a boat. One of our mages will meet us there.

Rook: A boat?

Illario: Did you think the Venatori would keep a normal prison? Or that one could hold the Demon of Vyrantium?

Spoken like a man who knew that killing his cousin was the only real way to permanently remove him from the equation.

Illario: The Ossuary lies beneath the sea. A fact I learned mere minutes ago.

Someone who had actually learned that mere minutes ago wouldn't feel the need to tell us that.

Neve: Secret and excessive. Sounds like Venatori.

Rook: You're not happy Caterina kept this from you.

Illario: Would you be? Lucanis is family. Maybe she thought I'd act too rash if it meant saving him. And now...

Illario: Who can say if he's even still alive?

Said the man desperately hoping he's not still alive... but is pretty sure his partner in crime kept his cousin instead of killing him.

Illario: There. You take the boat.

Rook: Are you coming with us?

Illario: It's possible we've been watched. If all of us vanish from the dock... You play the alluring hero.

A role Illario has played many times. I have to wonder what he's thinking now, telling Rook to 'play the alluring hero.'

Illario: I know Treviso. If we have a tail, I have a better chance of distracting their interest.

also because i have yet to comment on it: rust my beloved i love her so much. gets presented with a deactivated robot and it's the best thing she's ever seen. i really hope that she gets a reward similar to wolf gang did for beating wethermon. if my girl doesn't get her own robots there will be hell to pay
