something something nico talking with hazel and alluding to how he feels unwelcome by the rest of the crew, hazel saying that it might be rough but they do care, that leo offered to indebt himself to nemesis to save nico, but hazel refused and how leo ended up saving her and frank with that debt and nico holding her hand and being grateful that’s the way it turned out

having carmrichie in therapy thoughts

both of them realizing being together isn’t going to magically fix everything, but also seeing this as a push to want to get better

richie definitely went before carmy and eventually decided to finally drag carmy in for his own sessions

at some point carmy and richie in couples/duo/family therapy

having their shouting matches in there with some breakthroughs that leads to physical assurance (hand on shoulder, arm, thigh, or hand-holding)

sometimes they’re in there unable to look at each other

them leaving the restaurant together to go to the appointments, no one really questions it and accepts the calm that’s bestowed the two, despite their curiosity

them changing, growing, healing but, as hard as it is, most importantly they’re doing it together

Yknow sometimes I wonder what it’d have been like if i had been told more about 9/11 at a later point in my life rather than being told all about it in like 4th grade. Like I understand that it was a tragedy but being told about it in relative detail that young with a tint of Islamophobia has to be fucking kids up. Like before that I only knew about it because of the moment of silence the local news station held and knew it was something to be mourned. But my god looking back at that class in 4th grade felt like they were purposely trying to paint all Muslims as evil. There was no ‘this group of bad people who just happened to be Muslim’ sort of speech, only a ‘these bad people from the Islamic group did this horrific thing because there god is a bad one’. If I hadn’t lived in the household I did or didn’t have access to the internet or have teachers in later years that made that clarification, there is a real possibility I’d have been one of those people who hate Islamic/Muslim people for no real reason. And I didn’t even go to a Christian school! Who knows how much worse it was spun for some of them!

how does nines fall for gavin ;)

(better strap in pal, this went on a lot longer than i realized)

it takes him a long time to realize it, and even then it's hard for him to wrap his head around. For so long Nines has been repressing and hiding every emotion that would've made his superiors question his loyalty to the Empire, so anything other than that would've put him at risk.

He doesn't fully realize he's safe to Feel until Connor takes a moment to repeatedly say to him "You don't have to do that anymore."

But Nines blinked back, and responded with "I don't know how."

so it certainly takes a long time for Nines to finally be able to let himself feel and even longer for him to identify what his emotions are and how to process them. So when he realizes that he's fallen in love with Gavin? To say it blindsides him is an understatement.

Actually, the thought didn't even occur to him until Connor helped him figure it out.

But it starts off slow. Little things, small phrases, minuscule acts of kindness that Gavin would always deny. He's one of the first people to see Nines show interest towards something unrelated to the Empire, a simple decorative brace or tactical belt he caught a glimpse of in a market on some Outer Rim planet while on a job, and Gavin will fight tooth and nail if anyone accused him of going back to the stand and buying it for Nines.

Either way, it's one of the first things Nines owns for himself.

Gavin gives Nines a safe space to feel his emotions, some of the more ugly ones that he doesn't want Connor to see, and Gavin doesn't judge. He claims that he doesn't give a shit about whatever Nines is going through, but it's not easy to lie to a Force-sensitive. So Nines lets him have his excuses. Either way he's still thankful. And who is Gavin to condemn someone for feeling the same emotions he's felt himself?

They're competent together on missions, a deadly mix of trained precision and wild unpredictability with the added bonus of reckless plans and the skill to pull them off. It pisses off the Imperial officers and makes the troops fearfully spread rumors of the Dark Side User fighting for the rebels and his partner with a ship faster than a TIE Interceptor and a deadly aim you won't see coming. And over the missions, both solo and as a team with Connor, Hank, and Tina, Nines begins to find he enjoys sharing space with Gavin. His presence becomes a steady comfort, a reliability and certainty that no matter the mission, he knows that they'll find each other in the end. They're both too stubborn and bull-headed to leave the other behind and too adept in their skills to let something as simple as a unit of Stormtroppers stand in their way of the other.

And that's just how they are.

Often times when Nines has night terrors and can't find it in himself to fall asleep, he can't help but listen and search out Gavin's Force presence. And only after it's found is he lulled back to sleep. Nines finds comfort in Gavin's presence, his words (as crude or harsh as they can be sometimes they tend to hold some truth), his actions, and he appreciates the fact that Gavin doesn't think any less of him because of his past and of what he is. Don't get me wrong, he does at first, for both him and Connor. He could barely tolerate being in the same room as them after breaking Nines out of that Imperial prison. It was a favor to Connor and nothing more, and now they were even, so he didn't owe them anything anymore. But time and retrospect is funny in a way.

And it's not until one day Connor has to basically spell it out for Nines, that hey, I don't want to tell you what you're feeling, but I think you might be falling love.

Nines: I enjoy Gavin's company. He has a steady presence and it's comforting. I can't imagine what my life would look like without him in it. Connor, already suspicious: oh? Care to elaborate? Nines: I know how it sounds, and he may be crude and his words full of anger at times, but I feel happier around him. His presence is so bright and warm. Can't you tell? I fall asleep to it at times. He may seem to have a rough exterior but he is much kinder than he cares to admit. And i hate his reckless behavior and how careless he can be but he can also be equally careful and considerate. I'm sure you've noticed the injured Loth-Cat he's snuck into the ship. Connor: he, what? Nines: If anything were to happen to him, i am quite sure i would fall to the Dark Side completely- Connor: hey Nines: but yes. To restate my earlier point... I don't think i can imagine my life without him. And i never want to. Connor: .... So Nines...

but yeah, those are my thoughts essentially on how Nines falls in love with Gavin. Might have more thoughts later, but for now, i think this is good.

Gavin may have fallen harder, but Nines didn't fall at all. It grew without him knowing.

Thinking about Mickey learning basic sewing as a kid to patch up his clothes. Thinking about how he’d hide the ability from his family because 1) it’s “girly” and 2) he really didn’t want to patch everyone’s clothes. Thinking about a married Mickey who patches up Ian’s clothes when needed and Ian finding out and being so impressed that Mickey can do that. Thinking about Mickey as a dad sewing in his kid’s name onto their backpack and onto their clothes.

The weave kind forces all Reiloran children to be marked and attacked to them shortly after birth. So. That’s fucked.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

god i love my friends. shout out to people who love their friends. this is a post for friend lovers

thinking about the expert masseuse Alfred hired for the family that is paid a small fortune annually to provide massage services and ignore so, so many things. No questions, no remarks, just quality service and an ironclad NDA that, if broken, would probably topple said masseuse’s entire family line.

Things Alfred is paying them to ignore, in no specific order:

Bruce’s spinal hardware courtesy of Bane :)

weird amounts of muscle on everyone, even the kids (despite them allegedly not working physical jobs)

scars

FRESH scars

the fact that every joint in Bruce’s body clicks when moved/manipulated at the tender age of 42

Olympic athlete level physiques

rotator cuff injuries across the whole family

scars that are definitely from bullets and/or acid splashes

old signs of what looks like torture (Bruce)

Dick’s entire left arm is basically screws and plates (he “fell really bad” once)

every single family member takes deep tissue massage with max pressure with 0 complaints

calluses

no really, the weirdest fucking calluses
