Since it goes kinda fast and has that sorta shaky cam thing going on, here are some screencaps of moments I didn’t immediately notice:
Jorge and Sára definitely have the tol and smol thing going on, my gracious! 😍
When the Elite swings his energy sword at them, Jorge turns and takes the hit on his back, then goes down, shielding her with his body.
As the Elite goes after Kat, Carter and Six, Carter pushes Kat out of the way (while Six lights the Elite up liek woah). Is this a good time to add that shielding the other with their body is one of my favorite tropes??? 😍 *waves tiny but mighty Carter/Kat shipper flag*
The Elite jumps Six and, in grim foreshadowing, tries to stab her with the energy sword. She gets a hold of his arm and prevents the blow, then shows him how well Spartans throw haymakers.
*BIG SMILE* 😬😂
This scene always goes so fast that, for the longest time I thought that Kat was who kicked the gun back to Six but it’s Carter. Kat is over a few steps lighting the Elite’s armor up. Also in the background, Jorge is still covering Sára. 💖
This part always bothers me because they just stand there and let that Elite drag the marine away! In that last shot, he’s trying desperately to hang onto the door, ZOMG, and we do nothing! 😭 I mean, maybe they didn’t think they had a shot and could’ve hit him instead (the Elite is holding him up as cover) but still! We just... watch him get dragged away, screaming for help. 😭
Anyway, this next one had to be a GIF, because reasons. 😇
Jorge moves like a frickin’ tank and I love it! 😍👍
Lastly, this bit of trivia is from Halopedia:
Okay, I can see why they cut that but ZOMG I WANT TO SEE IT ANYWAY. I was already shipping it and then I learn
Honestly, if I had the ability/knowledge/etc. to do it, I’d write an entire alternate version of events just to see how that would play out to have Sára with them. Then, of course, there would be the dramatic moment when you think that Jorge has died just to discover that he was
No, I don’t know how. But in my version, it totally happened somehow. *nodnods* 😁
And then, yay, all of Noble Team makes it off of Reach by catching a ride with the UNSC frigate Convenient Plot Device* and it’s a happy ending for everybody!
*C’mon, the way they name their ships, this one would fit right in, IMO. 🤷♀️😇
And there we have it, just a few things in this scene that I noticed while I was doing my Reach vid and decided to cap/GIF! 💖
If you’re still taking requests for Halo….Jorge or John protecting their s/o? Thank you!
Hey there Anon! I was unaware of the new character limit that Tumblr had put in place (which is, quite frankly, stupid) and unfortunately I went way over the given limit, so instead, I just decided that if my writing exceeds the limit, I'll have a link that is connected to a Google Doc that has the headcanons laid out for you. I'm quite the boomer when it comes to this new "block" stuff, I'm sure I'll figure it out, but for now, this will have to do. Sorry about this!
This is me officially plugging Dysphoria into Halo tumblr- if you havent given it a read you should totally check it out :)) Its undergoing some heavy editing at the moment but the overall message and such is still the same
I worked on it for seven years and honestly its one of the best things Ive ever done. Enjoy!!! ^^
close minded/open-minded: I’d say Arty is open-minded
calm/anxious: a bit of both, depending on her state of mind. more often than not, she’s calm
disagreeable/agreeable: it aaaaaall depends on the topic
cautious/reckless: fifty-fifty split?
patient/impatient: more patient than impatient, but every now and then she’ll lose it :’)
outspoken/reserved: definitely a fifty-fifty split
leader/follower: pre-Reach, she was definitely a follower. after Reach, she sometimes leans towards leader, depending on the situation
empathetic/unemphatic: definitely empathetic
optimistic/pessimistic: as with calm / anxious, it depends on her state of mind
traditional/modern: beats me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
hard-working/lazy: she is definitely hard-working
R E L A T I O N S H I P S
otp: Artemis-B312 x Carter-A259 ( aka mandatum & vincere )
ot3: mmmm, none. Arty doesn’t do things like that.
brotp: where the fuck do I even start XDArtemis-B312 & Kat-B320; Artemis-B312 & Jeanette-B315 ( Jeannie is @pantheris’ Spartan-III OC ); Artemis-B312 & John-117 ( can I broship her with her own brother? of course I can fight me ); Artemis-B312 & Jorge-052; Artemis-B312 & Jun-A266; Artemis-B312 & Emile-A239; Artemis-B312 & Thomas Lasky; Artemis-B312 & Roland; Artemis-B312 & Kurt-051 ( the guy is her father figure, c’mon, how could I not )
notp: basically anything that’s a broship ( aside from the two with Jun & Emile, because in roleplaying universes, they could become OTPs ) is a big no-no from me
Which two characters would you ship together? (Besides Chief x Kelly and Palmer x Lasky)
While those two you mentioned are the ships I’m most invested in, I also have a soft spot for Jai-006/Adriana-111, Tom-B292/Lucy-B091, and especially Carter-A259/Kat-B320…plus a few indulgent pairings involving original characters that belong to some of my friends (you know who you are). ;)
As I’ve brought up here before, healthy relationships in fiction are of paramount importance to me - hence why I gravitate towards couples who trust and understand one another through years of shared experiences. After all: “Love takes time, and love takes work.”
(There are several more pairings I do like the idea of, but they’re either not developed enough or one/both of the individuals involved are dead.)

You know that Choose Your Own Spartan Adventure fic with Noble Team I've been threatening to write talking about for a while? No, well, not too surprising because it's been a while and I have nothing to show for it.
Technically, I actually do have most of the first chapter done as well as portions of the chapters for each Noble Team member. I should mention they're done in Word. You know, the program I can't use anymore so essentially they're here but are inaccessible to me now? I'm not stressed about that or anything, though! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway. Guess who just got an idea for another Choose Your Own... type story for Noble Team?
Kat smiled as Carter layed on her chest and cuddled up to her. He could be so clingy at times, especially once out of armor. But their secret snuggles is what helped them feel human.
It was moments like this where they could let the walls come down and they could be vulnerable that were her favorite.
She ran her fingers through his hair and massaged his scalp. He nuzzled into the contact and let out a slight moan. He was so cute like this, she really wished she was able to see this side of him more often.
He'd been stressed lately and she wished they had more down time. They barely had any time to themselves, it was hard to get enough time in for a good cuddle let alone a decent fuck.
She moved her fingers down his neck and massaged his shoulders. His muscles were so tight, he often stored his stress in his neck and shoulders.
She began to work the kinks out of his muscles and he moaned when she hit particularly sensitive spots. She liked hearing his little noises and nudges into her hands.
He was more like a puppy than a Spartan, and she loved it. His breathing began to slow and deepen as he drifted off to sleep. She continued to slowly rub his back as he slept. He completely trusted her, a Spartan didn't sleep well around people they didn't trust.
Kat soon found herself getting tired and she drifted off to sleep, holding Carter close to her.
