#because their dynamic is underrated

[theminecraftbee]

Joe wakes up in his bed inside of his pinball storage and he blinks. For one, “wakes up” is not quite the right words; he certainly comes to awareness, and he’s certainly on his bed, but he doesn’t feel like he’d been asleep so much as simply on his bed. For another, he certainly doesn’t remember getting to sleep, or getting to the pinball, or really how he’d gotten in this position in the first place. Strange; Joe’s pretty good at forgetting what he’d been doing, but he doesn’t normally forget how he’d gotten somewhere, just why he’d been going there in the first place.

He sits up and looks at his chests. Well, he had to be here for a reason. If he tries to think through everything he can figure out that he was doing before this, he can probably figure out how (and why) he got here? That’s somewhat similar to what he does when he forgets what he was meant to be doing, at least. Similar enough principle.

Okay. Think.

He’d been...

Scar and Cub had come to kill him, because they were feeling murderous, and Joe was easy to find and awake. Alright. Now, that’s easy enough; Scar and Cub come to mess with Joe fairly regularly. Joe doesn’t make himself an easy enough target as to be boring, see, but also doesn’t tend to retaliate too much and rather likes going along with chaos, which is probably something akin to catnip to vexes, or at least, something akin to catnip to those two. Of course, Joe hadn’t felt much like being murdered, so he’d dived into his hidden skeleton farm to heal up, flown up to find them, and masterfully distracted them by distracting himself with a long conversation.

Right. So that was all normal. Scar and Cub had left, presumably to either find someone else to randomly murder or to eat their respective sweets (which they were fighting about) or to generally cause problems. And Joe... Joe had...

He shakes his head, as though to remove dust from it. Well now. No spacing out on what he’d done next; that’s the whole point of this exercise! He’d...

Oh, right. He’d gone back to work on preparing for that water sweeper he was going to figure out how to build from Doc. It required placing a lot of sand and draining a lot of water, and it was that second bit, the water bit, that was urgent, because Gem had a queue of people waiting to rent sponges from her, and Joe was only the first in line. So he’d gone back to that; best to get whatever he could done while the day was still such that Joe could act. So Joe had been doing that, and it was usual.

Then he’d heard rockets, which meant someone else was coming by to visit. He remembers thinking that maybe he’d lost track of time even worse than he’d thought, and somehow it was the next day, and Cleo had come to check on him and force him to eat, since she always seemed to know when he forgot to take care of himself. But then he’d looked up, and the sky had still been light! So it hadn’t been that. It had been Scar! And Joe remembers...

He...

He shakes his head again. No, he can remember this. He remembers thinking that Scar had looked... strange? But he can’t quite pick out what was weird about Scar. It wasn’t weird in a spooky way, yet. (Yet? Oh, that’s a bad sign, Joe thinks. That’s a real bad sign.) It was more in a, oh, that’s not an expression Joe sees on Scar too often, sorta way. Not one he’d never seen yet (and yet again, a yet), but still unusual. And Scar had...

Had...

Scar had...

Asked about audio books?

Joe has to think about that one for a while, but he’s pretty sure that’s why Scar had come over. To ask about audio books, since Joe had mentioned wanting to make one. Scar mentioned that he wanted to know... about... uh... companies... that record them? And Joe had said he hadn’t finished looking into it, but he’d wanted to make a bogus self-help book, and Scar had made an even stranger face, and Joe had asked if Scar was okay, and...

And... oh, this is the important part, Joe realizes. He digs his fingers into the covers. His head is all fuzzy, but he’s a stubborn sort. He can remember this. He can.

Scar had started to say something important, Joe thinks. He knows Scar did. It can’t just be nothing in Joe’s head, because Joe may be good at forgetting important things, but not those kinds of important things, the ones that made Scar look so tired, slumped forward in his chair, and worried in a way he didn’t let too many people see. That was something that Joe had to keep safe. He didn’t like letting people down. But try as Joe might, he can’t...

He...

Well, what had Scar done after that? It might help Joe remember. Scar had...

Scar had asked if Joe wanted to hear his audio book. The one Scar had done. the “Landscaping Your Mind” one. Yeah. That’s -

And then Joe doesn’t... he can’t remember anything else.

And now he’s here. In his bed in the marble. And all he can think is:

Scar had leaned back in his chair when he’d asked about the audio book, and the expression on his face, it was almost like when Scar wants to cause trouble. Except, Joe had seen the expression Scar normally wears when he wants to cause trouble. This expression - it had been entirely new.

And something between Scar’s teeth had been purple.

And Joe thinks: oh. I’m not supposed to remember that, am I?

He sits in the marble for a long time on the bed, and tries and tries and tries to remember more things he’s not supposed to, but he can’t. He just feels a sinking dread about things he’s probably not qualified to handle, and about the idea of forgetting more than he already does, and if anyone else has things they’ve forgotten, but don’t know the signs as well as Joe does, given that Joe forgets things all the time, and most people don’t. He doesn’t know what to do about any of it, is the thing. He doesn’t even still quite know what’s happened. He’s terrified of what might have, in the several hours he can’t remember. He’s...

...”Landscaping Your Mind”, huh?

Well, maybe he can just buy a book...?

all the ship talk tonight DID remind me that I started a 10x05 fic based on that @crobby​ post where marie’s musical has a “sastiel agenda” instead (like complete with a song and everything)

anyway, here’s the car scene so far:

charles and marcus are so underrated as a teammate pairing because charles was thoroughly beating marcus on track but marcus was still SO NICE to him and made him blush and giggle and i think that's how all men should treat charles

the thing is marcus knew he's flop (and that's why i always loved him) and just wanted (and still wants) charles to do great because he sees the talent he has and doesn't want it to get wasted.

i'll forever cherish their time as teammates although it was so short lived, because the moments they gave us were priceless

BROOO DID YOU HEAR ABT THE SHIT THAT HAPPENED TO SYKKUNO OFF STREAM SDKLGSH I WAS SO WILD IM. First he gets fucking kidnapped, held hostage, and killed multiple times and ludwig sells a date w/ him to shroud for help and then like he escapes all on his own?? just by himself?? just walks out of there even tho hes been like looted and stripped??? and they do an oil rig and everyone dies except him and welyn and they're out of bullets, but he solos it and kills the enemies w/ a KNIFE? against GUNS?

YES i was literally watching the oil rig incident live through his friends’ streams and i was on ludwig’s stream watching him hold a funeral for rae who died (*loots her body then plays funeral music and salutes as he starts speaking* “this is for valkyrae.... maybe one of our weakest soldiers..... but she was STILL a soldier. we’re all proud of her for not killing one of us this time...... we’re just sad that it had to be her that fell instead. long live rae. ALRIGHT NOW FUCK EM UP FUCK EM UP FUCK EM UP” *instantly gets shot by enemy soldiers*)

it was so FUCKING funny. but then LUDWIG DIED. so i went to ash’s stream. and she was hiding behind this door w v little health as sykkuno begged her to help him because he literally ran out of bullets and something happened to his gun i think?? so he only had his knife. and ash tried to run out and save him BUT THEN SHE DIED. and only sykkuno and this guy named welyn was left so i had to search him up on twitch. and then even he couldn’t help sykkuno because his game was lagging. so he was hiding in this safe room as sykkuno freaked out and kept stabbing soldiers. it was so funny. everyone was on this helicopter all like HANG IN THERE SYKKUNO WE’RE ON OUR WAY TO HELP but then when they got there sykkuno fucking killed everyone already with his knife 😭😭 it was so funny

and then sykkuno didnt even want any of the cool loot? he was just like oh i kinda want this rifle gun and shroud was so grateful to sykkuno and so proud of him that he threw his rifle down immediately. the funny thing about shroud’s team’s alliance with sykkuno’s team is that shroud is SUPER good and an actual pro who carries the oil rigs. sykkuno’s team has people like RAE who KILLS HER OWN TEAMMATES BY ACCIDENT so like. shroud doesn’t even need sykkuno’s team but he always brings them along?? it’s kinda sweet

ok but speaking of the oil rigs remember YESTERDAY FJDDJDJ the first oil rig. corpse logged onto the game a lil later than the others and was at the home base and sykkuno was like “TURN THE HELICOPTER AROUND WE GOTTA PICK UP CORPSE. ITS CORPSE U GUYS WE CAN’T JUST LEAVE HIM BEHIND WE NEED HIM FOR THE MISSION” and then three people fall out of the helicopter during the ride to the oil rig and sykkuno says NOTHING and what happened?? what fucking happened??? all corpse had was a ROCK and sykkuno was like oh corpse come here and hide in this bathroom aha remember phasmophobia :) hehe ok stay here i’ll go kill the enemies and come back for you!! like corpse is the actual baby of the group i swear 😭😭

OK THE KIDNAPPING PART. that shit was so crazy sykkuno had just logged on and then suddenly xqc kidnaps him? and holds him hostage? to the whole server? and everyone regardless of team was like HOW DARE U TAKE SYKKUNO. HES INNOCENT. HE DID NOTHING WRONG UR DEAD. and shroud was like “we need proof that u ACTUALLY kidnapped sykkuno. if ur lying, we’re sending in a hit man. if ur for real, that’s WORSE. And we’re sending everything after u 😡” and rae was so cute freaking out telling everyone that they have to go help save sykkuno 🥺 only for sykkuno to. escape????? by like walking out????? idk how he did it i haven’t seen any clips of that but the fact that everyone was so ready to send in the cavalry to save him only for him to escape on his own was so funny

anyway ludwig low key pimping out sykkuno to shroud in exchange for killing xqc(?) was a lil weird but tbh kinda funny especially given shroud’s response. ludwig was like what’s the best reward?? it’s FRIENDSHIP. not MY friendship, sykkuno’s friendship. a date with sykkuno. and at first everyone thought lud meant that sykkuno was consenting to a date w anyone and that he was essentially giving shroud a voucher that he could sell? and ludwig was like oh no a date with YOU bro and shroud was like hmmmmmm and ludwig was like yeah you can wine him, dine him, 69 him and shroud was like wait did sykkuno agree to all of this? does he know :( i don’t want this if he doesn’t know about it and ludwig was like oh shit yeah lemme go ask him 😭😭

Well, send my ships,,, I know people are probably super tired about me talking about this ship, but,,, how about dunzeke??? Strange I know but, comfort ship,

Ship type : lonely homeschool x experienced delinquent

Ezekiel : INFP , easy going, always be underestimated, quite smart, obedient , friendly

Duncan : ESTP , creative, crafty, rebel , easy going, underestimate other

Duncan, a city folks and experienced about outside world and Juvenile because of how delinquent he is, he really love being rebellious because his surroundings (especially family) are nice and a justice warrior

as a bad boy wannabe , he is strong and strategist but on the other side, he got some soft spots on a small animals especially birds and bunny and he'd hide it so no one won't underestimate him

And Ezekiel in here is a Village folks that never went to outside modern world, all he knew about the outside world is from a TV

His parents really protective that they locked him up and make him homeschooled and he obey his parents because he thinks it's the best for him,

Ezekiel learning 8 different languages from both of his parents education because they used to went outside of the country and speak different language on there

Since Ezekiel is a farmer, he can understand animals while Duncan have a soft spots on animals

Both can teach about each other side's of living like Duncan teach and talk about what the outside world is look like and how to be a delinquent or a decent person (despite him being a delinquent) base from where he live

while Ezekiel being easy going because he get trapped in his farm for a long time and also love to learn about a new things talk about animals and nature's that Duncan haven't discovered yet on his school and some of the different language that he haven't got to learn / speaks yet.

I'd rate this ship 9.4 / 10 because i didn't know much about Ezekiel despite him having a really low screen time but hey, it's a unique and nice dynamic ship if you think about it.

[a-libra-writes]

I am sitting here going through my comfort character imagines list and I am somewhat wondering how you managed to make me fall for a bunch of characters I do not even know ( seriously. I only ever casually watched episodes every now and again if I couldn’t escape it), so why the hell am I getting heart eyes reading about the way Brynden Tully is proposing after being sure he’d die as a warrior because the thought of waking up without his girl being there makes him panic and why do I want to give Tyrion a good tight hug when “Obviously, he handles this maturely and drinks a lot” ( to quote one of my favourite lines in the history of written words from the jealous headcanon/imagine thing). Not to mention my swooning over the old lion that has only intensified due to your brilliant writing and that story idea I have about Robb Stark asking Roose Bolton’s wife how it comes that a kind woman from a good family like her got married to a man like this with her reply being: “My father knew that in a world full of monsters the safest place for me would be by a monster’s side. And I got lucky, my lord. Mine even loves me”.

Also I have to thank you for the deeply rooted appreciation turned love for Stannis and the world in which that poor man at least got a chance to be happy after being tortured by the fates for far too long ( that’s what ff is for after all. Fixing what the writers butchered in a way🧐).

So in summary, just know that your writing absolutely makes my day and that I come back to it more often than I should care to admit.

So I hope you have a nice day and may the muses smile upon you and the moira spin your fate in your favour.

oh thank you!! this is so wonderful to read 😭 Im glad you appreciate it, and extra glad I've been able to push some of my favorites at you 👀 There's so much nuance and layers to a lot of the characters (esp relating to the books), and I like being able to share that.
