*shoves random Cropranger Pacific Rim AU across the table*

Consider: Nick and Blade are drift partners until Nick is lost in a sortie. Years later, Blade is forced to take another partner who is just as drift-compatible as him and Nick and he hates it. But he’s duty-bound to the Jaegers, and over time he can’t help but fall for the fiercely determined ginger beanpole, afraid of losing Dusty the way he did Nick.

Blade: Goodnight to the love of my life, Nick, and fuck the rest of y'all.

[snonkerdoodlewritesstuff]

Hey.

I'm not gonna ask how you are, because I know how you are. At least, I think I do. I don't know if I want myself to be true.

When you...left...I'm not sure whether left is the right word, actually. The horror of what happened...the horror of what you did to me...is something that can't be described with words. My soul was ripped apart. My heart shattered into a million pieces. My soul was wounded. My life ended when you went away from me.

And...even after all of that...I hope you're okay, my love. I really do. You...I don't think you could help it. If only we talked to each other. If only we worked things out before IT happened...maybe this wouldn't've been such a bad thing.

At any rate, I want to tell you something. Something that I never told you before, and now definitely won't ever get the chance to.

I loved you. When you would smile the way you did in the sun and we would sneak off together to do things we should'nt've been doing, I loved you. When you would marvel at little things like flowers and hummingbirds and nightingales, I loved you. I've always loved you, from the moment I met you.

I love you. I love you, even now that you're gone, even now that I'm nothing but a pile of broken pieces and memories. I love you, even though they all dragged you away from me, so that I could never embrace you again, and never have the chance to call you mind. Even after all that, I still love you.

I will always love you. Even though I'll never see you again--not for a long while, at the least--I will always love you. There doesn't seem to be anybody else for me, because my heart was yours the moment I set eyes on you. It's always you, my love. Always you...

And lastly, I will miss you. I will miss the way you were a fucking diva all the time. I'll miss the way you were so rude to anyone who crossed you. I'll miss your smiles, the way you saw the world, the way...the way you looked when you were happy, or sad, or anything really. You're fucking beautiful, sweetheart.

This letter can be read from 3 perspectives:

Crowley to Aziraphale after Good Omens season 2.

John Watson to Sherlock Holmes after Sherlock season 2. 🧐

Blade Ranger to Nick Loopin' Lopez after the crash.

There are 3 more lines to add as well for each:

He let out a sigh laden with a thousand years' worth of exhaustion and

took a look around the bookshop--his bookshop now, that Aziraphale had found it in him to abandon it. He didn't know why he stayed, given the pain it caused him, but leaving would somehow make it worse. Sinking low into the cushions of the couch, he took a swig from his bottle.

sank back into the chair, facing the other one that should've been filled with a lanky man and his stupid curly hair and stupid angelic face. His vision blurred in and out of focus from the lack of sleep--he knew that if he gave in now he would only wake up to the words, "Goodbye, John" ringing in his ears.

sank low onto his landing gear, staring at the picture of his one-- and it seemed only--love. It didn't matter how many years it had been since the accident; a part Blade was and would always belong to Nick. Looking around at the scene of the base, he headed back to his cliff, parking a little ways from the edge to keep watch over the park for lightning storms. He fought fires now. He saved lives for real. After all, that's all he could do at this point, wasn't it?

So sorry if the ending seems rushed on any of them but constructive criticism would be appreciated! Thank you for reading this!

Me and @secretly-larry-daley were talking and we both don’t see enough people talking about how FUCKED it is that the Air Attack team is watching CHoPs behind Blade’s back and he still doesn’t know

And it’s the fact that it’s MARU showing it to them

Like he knows what happened to Nick so he has no excuse

That’s almost as if Lightning went and showed Doc’s crash to everyone in Radiator Springs on a regular basis

Like WHAT THE FUCK

Planes F&R dating sim, FGO-style Valentine's event

<Player> Hmmm....

<Ghost!Nick> Something on your mind?

<Player> Valentine's coming soon and idk what to get for Blade... I don't know if he'd appreciate chocolates.

<Ghost!Nick> (Surprised face) Oh!

<Ghost!Nick> Hmm... There's something I used to give him back when I was alive. How about this...

(whispering sfx as the screen fades to black)

[On Valentine's Day]

<Player> Blade! I have something for you!

(gift given to Blade)

<Player> Happy Valentine's Day!

<Blade> (frowning) Y/N, you know I don't take part in stuff like...

(crunching sfx, box opened, revealing a box of red, blue, and white mochis)

<Blade> (surprised face) ...this.

<Blade> ... (Expression softened)

----- Choice 1: <Player> Are you okay?

<Blade> ...yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just remembered something, that's all.

<Blade> Sorry for snapping at you earlier. Thank you for this.

----- Choice 2: <Player> I hope you'll like them.

<Blade> (chuckling) I swear, Y/N, how do you keep figuring out my weak points?

<Blade> ...thank you.

(screen turns black)

(screen changes to CHoPs backstage, with vintage filter as a sign of flashback)

(shows CHoPs!Nick giving a mochi box to CHoPs!Blade)

<Nick> (huge smile) Happy Valentine's Day, Blaze!

<CHoPs!Blade> (sweating) Nick, the last time you gave me something to eat, I got food poisoning. If this one ends up like that, I swear—

<Nick> (annoyed face) Sssshhhh, shh, shh. This is something I have never failed to make, you have my words!

<CHoPs!Blade> (cautious stare) .........

<CHoPs!Blade> .....alright.

(munching sfx)

<CHoPs!Blade> (surprised face) ...!

<Nick> (grinning smugly) See? I would never fail my favorite treats!

<CHoPs!Blade> (chuckling) Sorry for that. You're really good at this. I didn't even realize I've swallowed half of the box...

<Nick> (smiling) Don't worry. When this all ends, I'll make lots of mochis for you to the point you'll get bored of it!

<Nick> (grinning/laughing)And once you've got bored, I'll make another variant, and repeat it forever!

(screen fades black again, flashback ends)

(screen turns into Blade perching on the cliff at night)

<Blade> (eating the mochis) (munching sfx) ........

<Blade> ..."forever" wasn't that long for us, huh, Nick?

[valkresdarkside]

They're married, your honor!

I DIDNT KNOW YOU MADE A POST

I have to add mine now

I made a shipping chart for fun. I had too much fun with with this—

If anyone wants to make their own chart, go ahead!!

[snonkerdoodlefizzy221b]

Nick, throwing his head onto Blade's front: Tell me I'm pretty!

Blade, lovingly stroking his rotors: You're pretty fucking annoying, that's what you are.

Planes: Fire and Rescue- why i dont like the ending

rambling about this instead of doing art because my art ability has vanished for some reason

rambling below cut, it was completely unscripted so sorry if its incoherant and makes no sense lol

so we all know that the thing that kicks off the whole movie is that Dusty's gearbox is fucked up now, and it's too complicated for a new one to be built. for the purpose of this rambling im gonna ignore the fact that apparently specific parts of EXISTING AND NOT EVEN RARE VEHICLES CAN BE DISCONTINUED????

anyway, so the whole movie Dusty cant fly too fast because of his failing gearbox and cant race... until the end when Maru can just. custom build a gearbox i guess? idk whatever

"but Jetfuel, you didnt say anything we dont know, you just explained the plot!" yeah im getting there- during most of the movie, i could actually relate to Dusty, and i hardy ever see myself in a protagonist. i used to run track, and silly goofy medical condition means i cant race anymore- like Dusty! but with the new ending, i lose that.

of course, i dont mind a character who is literally a machine being able to be repaired, that's an established thing- but it was also established that a gearbox is too complex to be built.

so what would i change? i would have Maru be able to repurpose a different but similar gearbox after Dusty crashes, something that would allow him to fly, but because of the complexity wouldnt be good enough that he could fly

so what are yall's thoughts on this, and what would you change?

anywya ramble over im gonna try and get my art skills back so i can finish my looprange sketches bye :3

[valkyrieres]

I got an idea. Ok so it’s Blade and he spends years with Nick. They get married. They fuck. It’s simple. But…

one day Blade wakes up. Only to find out years worth of memory was actually only about 1hr. It was a simulation. A test. An experiment. :3

I woke up to this earlier today and I cried myself to sleep on work hours dbdjdbdjdgsjshdjdgsjsh anon ur idea is so evil istg 😭 (in a good way; that's a compliment)

I'll probably make a fic or comic if this later *adds it into my to-do list* there's a webtoon abt marriage simulation through dreams, so I think I can use it as a reference?

Thank you for this brilliant idea, anon 🙏✨ *proceeds to cry again*

[valkresdarkside]

God I wish I had the ability to write or draw bc an anon just dropped the most heartwrenching looprange idea into my ask 😭😭😭😭😭😭
