[daddy-ul]

oh to invade one's personal space

There is OnE sTiRrInG wHeEl

It's not their fault, c'mon!

[cococaffeinated]

Anyway, I can't stop thinking about this scene in the pilot with Jax, Kinger, and Gangle—

🎪TADC Pilot Spoilers Below🎪

I'm so f#cking insane, guys! I know I'm simply overthinking (as one does when they hyper-fixate), connecting dots to make a non-existent unicorn... but hear me out~!

Remember this part where Jax ran so fast, leaving Pomni and Ragatha in the dust, after seeing Abstracted Kaufmo and grabbing a bowling ball?

I was 100% assuming Jax was gonna hide and save himself but he seemingly just rushed to Kinger and Gangle, cos he STOPPED RUNNING WHEN HE FOUND THEM.

And my a$$ at the time, trying to be SO NORMAL ABOUT THESE THREE, was like:

"Okay LMAO neat, they've just given away the best place to hide, Jax is totally gonna f#cking jump in there without them and those two are gonna comedically get trampled on maybe??"

And then, Jax hears Kaufmo growling in the distance and what does he do???

HE BASICALLY, IN THE MOST A$$HOLE WAY POSSIBLE, SHOVED "HOO-HA" AND "CRY-BABY" INTO THE HOLE FIRST BEFORE JUMPING INTO IT HIMSELF?!?!

Like, do y'all see?!?!? why iM sO inSAnE (affectionately) about these three?!?!

And later Jax tries to play it off like, "I'm not even here for the adventure, I'm just here to hide from the—"

WHATEVER MAN! WE ALL KNOW YOU SECRETLY CARE ABOUT YOUR HOMIES, KINGER AND GANGLE!

so true ♡

the progression from "there's a morning snack and a midday snack" and "20 bucks for pizza" buck looking after his friend's kid to "bobby's famous lasagne: 6 types of cheese cooked to perfection" buck cooking for his family to "that's makes me your sous chef" teaching his kid how to cook is making me go so feral.

a headcanon that is very important to me personally is that mulder and scully’s strides start to change as they settle into their partnership. like even when they’re not around each other. scully’s get longer and mulder’s get shorter so that they can walk side by side easier. maybe in the beginning, mulder is rushing around and scully is always trying to keep up, but he learns to slow down so he can talk and listen while they walk. eventually, they unconsciously adjust and meet in the middle. it’s just one of the things that irons itself out as they grow and change around each other, and their relationship as partners and friends starts to take shape :)

In case you're wondering how THIS goes:

[outerjersey]

and they were co-pilots (in a hypothetical timeline zero) (oh my god they were co-pilots)

[rockybloo]

It took a decade of being obsessed with Pacific Rim for me to finally get around to fiddling with my own mech story. This has no relation or connection to Glitter and Guilt or Decking City. This is basically a clean slate although this story does also take place on Earth.

SO FAR-I have it in my head that the mechs are piloted by at least two people: one that's the fighter who controls the robot's movements in combat and the other who maintains and controls the robot's systems (like reading the radar, charging up certain energy gauges for their co-pilot to prepare for strong attacks, activating shields, etc).

Basically, one person is defense and the other is offense. Mech piloting very much requires both pilots to be in sync with each other so they both come out alive in kaiju confrontations.

These two are kind of the misfits that struggle in social situations. The girl is clumsy and awkward and the boy tends to shut people out and really just sticks to himself. They winded up getting shoved into a giant robot without much hope for either of them to work out well, only for them to click almost immediately.

Goodnight everyone 💚

I forgot there’s that interview where Cam says he wanted to be a milkman when he was younger, so headcanoning hard that, before he wanted to be an agent, Lockwood also wanted to be a milkman

[yuwuta]

i politely demand you talk about your nge/pacrim au!

thank you for enabling my behavior and for all your art omg <33333 i will attempt to coherently and briefly outline my thoughts

the short version is: yuuta/rika saves you post-battle and both are irrationally upset when it turns out that you already have a boyfriend. 

yuuta would like to take some of the credit for digging you out the rubble, but the truth is, it was like his mech was on auto-pilot, overriding all of his controls to dig you out of a lifeless environment and stash your cold, limp body in the center chamber until yuuta and rika were transported back to the base. 

yuuta doesn’t understand why he lost control of rika like that, nor does he understand why he feels so upset when he goes to visit you in the infirmary and there’s already some other man by your bedside holding your hand. he vaguely recognizes kokichi as a junior engineer who’s done a few surface level repairs on rika, and he’s surprised and green with envy to find out that kokichi is also your boyfriend. 

yuuta doesn’t understand the anger he feels, or the headache he gets, or the panic attack that’s threatening to rise in him, or why his feet automatically drag him back to his mech, or why he feels like he could hear rika’s faint sobs and screams in his head and he lay in his pilot chamber. none of it makes sense and he can barely sleep because of it, but it happens every time he thinks about you and kokichi for too long; and strangely enough, if the thinks about how rika seemed to come to life to save you for too long. there’s some kind of missing link he can’t piece together. 

when you’re conscious, you can’t seem to recall any part your childhood, and only have your memories from college onwards, save for bits and pieces of the attack you were a victim of. yuuta learns that you were studying to be an engineer, that you were moving to work at the hangar and be closer to your boyfriend, that kokichi was slated to pick you up from the airport that ended up being the site of attack. a small part of yuuta wishes kokichi had been there, thinks that rika wouldn’t have found him in the rubble. 

you’re the miracle save, and somewhat become the baby of the hangar. world-renowned pilots you’d only ever studied in class stopped by to give you their condolences, offer their help. you try to remain calm when satoru gojo and kento nanami make an appearance as a duo in your tiny recovery room, calling you brave and bowing to you with a home cooked meal in hand. senior engineers do their best to recover your work from college, assuring you that your injuries and recovery period would be a non-factor in the hiring process—that you were free to start as soon as you felt comfortable. you get the most attention from yuuta, who makes himself a friend, and a critical part of your recovery, essentially firing your physical therapist in favor of fixing you himself. 

everyone makes you feel welcome, but yuuta makes you feel safe. he holds your waist while you re-learn to walk, he sneaks you into the pilot’s lounge while the jaegers have their repairs done—and nods in faux-sympathy as you mourn the presence of your boyfriend, who seems busier than ever these days with nuisance repairs, jokes about how yuuji and megumi seem to be particularly reckless with their jaeger lately—he squeezes your hand when you have headaches and fractured flashbacks of your past that you can’t piece together, he holds you when you cry out of pure frustration of not being able to remember who you are

yuuta’s a real smooth talker, too. always knows exactly how to comfort you while your boyfriend is busy, always talks to the press about you so preciously, always makes you feel like you have a purpose even if you can’t remember your past self—maybe you weren’t meant to remember anything before him and rika, maybe it was meant to be this way. it’s a twisted comfort, but it’s something to cling to, it’s better than crying over memories you no longer have.

everyone notices yuuta’s weird reverse stockholm syndrome lol… the way he hovers over you like he’s your sole protector and savior, the way he demands to be privy to all decisions about your health care, the way he remains close to you with no fear of your boyfriend. nobody says anything, though—yuuta’s a pilot, a good one, and one the few solo pilots in the entire world. he’s precious and vital to humanity, worth a thousand men, worth ten thousand engineers. besides, his friends see something special between you two, especially the co-pilot pairs; satoru and kento, megumi and yuuji, choso and yuki—they know compatibility when they see it, and boyfriend or not, you have something special with yuuta. they all share a common thought: kokichi is fighting a losing battle. and even if he could beat yuuta, he’d never win against rika.

Rex, rubbing his temples: I am not proud of what I am about to say, but someone get me a cigarrette.

The Devil Is My Co Pilot

[jessieren]

Loving the Thursday Thursday contributions this week. Here’s mine..

Sadly not a tribute to Win and the women in Morse’s life as I’m not well organised enough but I recently rewatched the pilot and love both the scene where Thursday and Morse first meet in the station and this one

Particularly chose this one because of the follow up where Roger clearly drops Shaun as the scene closes 😂
