Nikita’s keeping an eye on these guys to make sure they know it’s Wet Beast Wednesday

[terapsina]

Now that the writers and actors strike is about to begin being felt (and as we wait for those greedy billion dollar companies who are refusing to negotiate fair pay and conditions to give up) here's 10 of my favorite (all around best) fully finished older series you should definitely check out if you haven't watched.

I mean it, these are the shows with continuously great writing and a satisfying endings that manage to actually deliver on their promises.

-----

1. Leverage - (containing 5 seasons, or 77 episodes) - trailer here.

Hitter, Hacker, Grifter, Thief and Mastermind. Heists and cons. Stealing from the rich and giving to their victims. They provide... leverage.

Meant for anyone who enjoys bad guys being the best good guys, who will burn down the lives of evil CEOs and then gloat in the background. Very satisfying.

Hands down the best example of a found family trope I've ever seen on screen. Barring none.

2. Killjoys - (containing 5 seasons, or 50 episodes) - trailer here.

Space Bounty Hunters. Another case of found family trope. Bisexual space princess assassin. Quippy sentient ship. Green alien goo. Evil lesbians (but like... in a good way). The warrant is all.

More seriously though, it's a story about three killjoys and the bounties they go after. Initially. And then they have to save the entire Quad from some very terrifying... stuff.

Contains one of the best friendships I've ever seen on television.

3. Orphan Black - (containing 5 seasons, or 50 episodes) - trailer here.

Found family trope but with clones.

Low level grifter sees a woman who looks exactly like her kill herself and plans to take over her identity long enough to cash out. Except then there's two other women who also look exactly like her. And apparently they're all clones and someone's killing them.

Enter a global conspiracy. Human experimentation. Lots of clone shenanigans. Some serial killings. And a few murders 💖.

4. Person of Interest - (containing 5 seasons, or 103 episodes) - trailer here.

Okay I'm beginning to see how I might have a found family trope issue.

Former CIA agent gets recruited by a reclusive billionaire computer programmer who developed a... machine that can predict acts of terror before they happen. But it also predicts 'irrelevant' acts of violence that will result in someone's death.

Unless someone interferes.

I'd really like to spoil some stuff to get you all to watch this one. But I'm going to maintain self control and just mention that early on they get a dog named Bear. Bear is a very good boy. Watch it for Bear.

Also for excellent commentary on rights of privacy, government surveillance and what does 'greater good' even mean? But mostly Bear.

5. 12 Monkeys - (containing 4 seasons, or 47 episodes) - trailer here.

The very best time travel show out there. What starts out as a confusing mess of causality basically exploding, by the end of the series all makes complete and total sense.

(when that final timey-whimey loop slid into place and revealed the entire pattern it was like a choir of angels started singing in the back of my head. It was freaking glorious).

Anyway, a man from a post apocalyptic future travels into the past to stop a plague from decimating nearly the entire world population.

He has the name of the man who released the virus and it's supposed to be a single trip. One trip. One bullet. Simple. Done.

Except then things keep escalating, and escalating until time begins eating its own tail and it might start looking like the end of the world might be a better ending than erasing all of time and space from reality.

Because when our guys screw it up, they screw it up GOOD.

And oh yeah... found family.

6. The Good Place - (containing 4 seasons, or 53 episodes) - trailer here.

A self-proclaimed Arizona dirtbag opens her eyes and finds out that she's dead and got accepted in the Good Place. Except that as soon as she arrives the Good Place starts glitching, and she really, REALLY needs to become a better person before she can be found out and kicked out to the Bad Place.

Luckily her assigned soulmate was a professor of ethics and moral philosophy.

One of the funniest, most thoughtful and clever comedies I've ever watched. Ever. The characters are delightful and by the time the final minute rolled around I had sobbed my heart out multiple times (which, as we all know, is a sign of the very best comedies out there).

As for the question of whether or not this too contains Found Fami- Yes! Obviously, yes.

7. Avatar: the Last Airbender - (containing 3 seasons, or 61 episodes) - intro here (couldn't locate the trailer but it's basically the same thing in this case).

The four nations lived in harmony. Until the Fire Nation attacked.

It's been a hundred years since the beginning of the war when two kids from the Southern Water Tribe find a boy frozen in ice and wake him up. A boy who's able to bend all four elements... though not very well.

Enter multi-nation flying road trip (thank you Appa, we love you most of all) as they try to find teachers for the Avatar and save the world.

Includes found family (shut up), amazing fight scenes, the most heartfelt and vivid characters ever, and the best example of a redemption arc actually done well.

8. Love Between Fairy and Devil - (containing 1 season, or 36 episodes) - trailer here.

This one gutted me. I'm saying this as a compliment. But it had to be said. Completely destroyed me. I just haven't been the same.

A love story between an Orchid Fairy and the leader of the Moon Tribe that starts out with her accidentally releasing him from millennia long imprisonment and then takes you through the caleidoscope of all possible human emotions (it's a body-swap comedy through the first part, then a romcom, then a dramatic romantic tale, and finally a tragic love story).

But it's such a satisfying slow burn.

And it carries this... humanity through the whole thing that makes it so visceral.

If you're a romantic who's very tired of instalove and characters dropping all their morals because 'ooh, attractive person' then you've got to watch this. Because this story does NOT take the easy road there.

(my more extensive rec for this series can be found here)

9. Star Wars: The Clone Wars - (containing 7 seasons, or 133 episodes) - fanmade trailer here (it was better than any of the official ones).

This series did so much. Introduced Ahsoka Tano, and made us love her. Gave names and faces and souls to the Clone Troopers (okay, it's the same face but you know what I mean), to a point where their endings during Order 66 destroyed me just as much as the ending of the Jedi Order. And somehow made me both love Anakin AND be a million times more angry with him.

There are some arcs in this series that might be a bit weaker. But there were some... god, there's a reason I love Clone Wars more than any other series or trilogy in this universe. And I'm not even a little ashamed to say it.

Must watch for Disaster Lineage shenanigans; for the vod'e; AND for the Jedi (who did their best okay? They always did their best 😭💔).

(and on the subject of found family... do I even need to comment)

10. Nikita - (containing 4 seasons, or 73 episodes) - trailer here.

A rogue assassin that escaped Division - covert government agency that takes recruits out of prison, fakes their deaths and then forces them to become spies and assassins - has come back to take it down. Brick by brick if she has to. With guns and explosives too when that works better.

Contains soooo many cool fight scenes. Is full of incredible characters you'll fall in love with (and hate with) very quickly. And most of all has an incredibly complex relationship of mentorship and friendship between two women that holds both great admiration and betrayal, real care and love as well as rage and hatred, forgiveness, mutual respect and an unbreakable kind of bond that so very rarely involves even one female character on TV, let alone two.

(as usual, found family tropes up the wazzoo).

-----

In conclusion. We all know there's going to be a large space between seasons of our favorite shows now (and some shows that aren't going to survive it). Let's fill that space with some excellent TV we haven't had a chance to see yet.

And direct the blame for the wait towards the right place (i.e. the studios).

MAGGIE Q as Nikita Mears in NIKITA 1.01

[mirkokosmos]

by Mirko Lalit Egger

[strawbubbysugar]

So Sun’s first kiss with Remy…how did that go? Was it super awkward? Did Sun think to himself “that didn’t feel right”, or did he close his eyes and imagine he was kissing pry/ncess perhaps? 👀

It was more of a peck honestly (lol bird pun), it was quick after Sun was patched up during a fight before he ran back into the fray. He never saw them again. Anyways here’s him meeting Nikita for the first time

Nikita is doing his silly little backflips 5ever in my mind

Amazing! Spectacular! Splendid! Thank you for sharing friend

[rawrki]

attention, please!

pairing boyfriend!riki x gn!reader genre fluff! teeny tiny bit of angst! reader had a tough day :( riki was being mean but redeemed himself afterwards (self aware king!)

wc 760+

a/n when will i write something that isn't about riki? probably never... he's on my mind 24/7

"riki"

no response.

"rikii" you tried again, looking up at him and poking his arm.

he makes a noncommittal noise and refuses to stop his game.

"nishimura riki if you don't reply me i'm breaking up with you"

"as if" you see him roll his eyes as he responds smugly.

he had texted you to come over to his place to cuddle but when you arrived half an hour ago he was lying on his bed playing call of duty mobile and hadn't given you any attention since. he kept saying "last round" but he had played 2 "last" rounds since then.

you were upset as you just wanted his attention and for him to cuddle like he said you would!

sighing in resignation, you roll over to face the opposite direction and shove your head into the pillow. after a few moments of silence, riki finally speaks to you properly.

"y/n," riki calls your name.

still feeling upset from what he had been doing (or rather not doing) you decided to ignore him.

"y/nnn baby"

the pout on his face is evident through his voice but you refuse to give in. he had ignored you for 30 minutes! and you were genuinely upset. why would he focus on his stupid game when you were right there and he was the one who called you over in the first place!

"love, you aren't actually upset right?"

stupid men, you thought. of course you were upset! you made the entire trip to his house (it was only a 10 minute walk but still!) and he didn't want to give you the cuddles he had promised. not to mention you had a long day but you still obliged his request to come over.

unbeknownst to you, slow tears trickled down you face as you were lost in thought. riki leaned over to look at your face and made an alarmed noise.

"y/n are you okay?? i'm so sorry! i switched off my phone i promose. i didn't mean to ignore you, i should've paid attention to you. please forgive me? y/n?" he panicked and apologised profusely and turned you over to engulf you in a hug and look down at your face.

"huh?" you were confused by his sudden change in demeanour until he started wiping the tears on your cheeks away with his palms. his hands covered both sides of your face as he continued to wipe away the tears.

"i'm sorry y/n i didn't mean it. i got carried away! the new skin just came out and i really wanted to grind for it... please forgive me?" he tried again, looking at you with his puppy eyes. how could you not forgive him when he was so cute?

you huffed for the nth time that night and just shoved your face into his chest while hugging him tighter. after a moment, you felt his hands rub up and down your back soothingly.

"are you okay baby? i'm sorry for making you cry," he said gently. you shook your head against his chest.

"s'not your fault. rough day," you mumbled out, sighing and relaxing into his embrace.

"i'm sorry, it's still my fault. i wasn't paying attention to you," he murmured into your hair before planting a kiss on your forehead.

"apology accepted only if you give me a kiss," you tilt your head upwards in anticipation, eyes still shut.

"of course love, you didn't have to ask," he replies with a small giggle, giving you a peck on the lips. before you can ask for another one, riki began to plant kisses on your nose, cheeks, eyelids, and all over your face. the two of you ended up giggling and you open one eye to look at him. you startled slightly at his proximity before smiling and pecking him on the lips.

"okay, you're forgiven i guess," you tell him with feigned reluctance.

"you guess??" riki says incredulously, his eyes widening.

"what do you mean you guess."

"don't do it again. next time, the consequences will be dire," you joke.

"yes ma'am," he salutes and you slap his arm weakly at his antics.

riki pulls you in for another right hug and both of you spend the rest of the night talking about each other's days.

there was no place more comfortable to lie in than in his arms.
