"Hobie would rizz you up."
That nigga who said "I was this cool the whole time"?
"Hobie is so suave and charming."
The same man who sounded like a reluctant toddler after Miles was told what to do?
(Cutest scene with him in it too. "I'll do it but not because you told me too 😤" Ok baby, now eat your broccoli.)
"Hobie is so mysterious."
This the same man who was like nah I'm not gonna give y'all my face but I will give you my full government name right? We're talking about the same man right????
Where's the "Hobie would see someone attractive and immediately start infodumping to them"?
Or
"Hobie doesn't know how to show affection in a NT way so he builds tiny model figurines of you or something you like out of recycled materials"?
IDC what anyone says. To me this man is a dorky lil bastard who thinks he's the greatest thing to come from humanity since the electric guitar. He thinks he knows what he's doing. He goes into conversations fully confident that he's got this only to fall flat on his face. Anyone who isn't mesmerized but his face is immediately sitting there trying to plan their escape and Hobie is none the wiser.
GIVE ME PATHETIC HOBIE OR GIVE ME DEATH.

drunk!lian shenanigans pt.2!
a continuation of my drunk!lian fic idea here. this one is longer and fresh out of my head, sorry for the typos!
xie lian has been extremely busy this week, so much so he hasn't been able to go home. he's been on a mission in the north, handling a mission that should have been much easier but turned out to be way more complicated than he thought
to his surprise, some showed up to help him. it was pei ming!
after a long, cruel 7 full days without his husband, xie lian was ready to go HOME. and thanks to pei ming, who helped him greatly and called his subordinates down to handle everything else, he would be able to go home that night.
naturally he let his beloved husband know that he'd be home soon, and that he couldn't wait to see him. before he could leave, pei ming starts complaining about how he hasn't seen his highness in a while! he's always in ghost city, or on missions! so, he asks xie lian to go for a drink before he leaves
xie lian is very hesitant. while he had a lot of fun the last time, he can't help thinking about how he almost ate human thigh, or how he may have run into (and broken) a stall or two, or how san lang had given him a stern talking to (which, all he said was that if xl was going to drink, he needed to be safe! and drink in moderation!).
it was so embarrassing, he couldn't believe he acted like that! no matter how much fun he had, he decided maybe he shouldn't drink anymore!
pei ming insists. he promises they won't drink that much and that he knows xie lian has already gotten wasted. of course shi qingxuan told him! but there was a new place in the area serving new things, and he hadn't had time to check it out and wanted to with a friend
so, reluctantly, they go for drinks. the place pei ming chooses is much fancier than where xie lian went with sqx, and had a much wider selection of drinks. and a much... sweeter collection of drinks. it didn't even feel like he was drinking!
before they knew it, both of them were absolutely wasted, and xie lian's urge to see his beautiful husband has increased 10x. so its time to go home!
pei ming, wasted out of his mind and worried for the stumbling highness, uses his heavenly uber to take xie lian back to ghost city.
half way through the ride, though, xie lian realizes how absolutely fucked he is. he swore he wasn't going to get drunk again and this time, right now, he's worse! so there's only one thing he can do.
sneak into the temple and pretend to be sleep!
now, if xie lian was sober, he'd remember that there was no "sneaking" into ghost city, but thats neither here nor there. he has a plan! turning to tell pei ming, who thinks xie lian's plan is full proof, they decide to leave the heavenly uber outside and xie lian takes the long way through ghost city, avoiding the busy streets
it took a lot of effort, but he FINALLY saw the temple! he decides to sneak in to his bedroom window, trying (and failing) to not make too much noise. he could have went through the main door, but its very visible and he didn't want anyone to let san lang know he was here!
however...
hua cheng, after hearing that his beloved husband was coming back this night, was ecstatic. beyond, honestly. so, he decides to make this welcome back really nice. he plans on making xie lian's favorite meal, drawing him a nice bath and giving him a nice...massage.
he feels when xie lian enters ghost city, but he's surprised that his husband hasn't contacted him. he'll see him soon, so he doesn't worry about it. he goes back to preparing food when he hears a LOUD noise near the bedroom / altar.
now he's curious. so he walks quietly, much quieter than normal, towards the room. he comes to a full stop and can't help but take in the picture before him: his god is muttering to himself faced away from him, a corner of the robe was caught on the window, twigs sticking from his hair (how on earth did he do that?)
hua cheng clears his throat and xie lian stiffens up, freeing his robe from the evil window and turns around. xl can't help but take in how good his husband looks right now, hair pulled back into a ponytail and a raised eyebrow looking at him, clearly waiting on an explanation.
hua cheng knows the answer to the question before he even has to ask. he knows by the swaying, the bright red flush and the disheveled state that his god was drunk. he was extremely amused, he could tell his husband had fun the last time but he swore he'd never drink again. so why now?
as hua cheng opened his mouth to ask, xie lian had another great idea.
RUN!
so before hua cheng could ask about his... current state, xie lian brushes past him and BOLTS towards the door. hua cheng is frozen in shock, of all the things he expected xie lian to do that was the last one.
and whats even worse is that the drunken god who was stumbling, swaying and even got caught in a window was now suddenly very slippery, sliding through hua cheng's hands every time he thinks he finally has the prince.
just as xie lian got to the door, hua cheng sped up and grabbed part of his robe. twisting out of it, it took them a second to notice that hua cheng managed to grab the belt holding his robe together. in shock, they both watch at the belt fell and xie lian's outer robe opened, sliding down his shoulders a bit.
xie lian locks eyes w hua cheng as a mischievous glint enters his eyes, and he giggles.
then bolts out of the door, only in his inner robe.
----
thats all i got. would like to include xie lian destroying another stall or two in the chase (the same stall he destroyed the last time), falling in the mud, and when hua cheng catches him he can't stop giggling and smiling. hua cheng gives him a bath when they get home, which xie lian insists he'll only take if "san lang gets in the bath too!" heehee
i've seen people say they like my ideas, so if you write them i demand a small fee of being tagged or let me know so i can read it!!

Every other time it had all faded away in slow horror, knowing that he would awaken with no memory of what had been. But this time, this time is different. This time Celebrimbor’s trace of Elbereths star, of Earendils remains upon his skin but Sauron sees it not.
And his memory remains.
He cannot show his horror so instead he gives what Sauron wishes - devotion. Sweetness, with just enough bewilderment to know that something torments him. He could never have done this once, but Sauron has taught him painful lessons.
But now, now he has hope. The stars of hope, against the shadow. It is how he makes himself smile, to yield to kisses and embraces.
(He knows what else Sauron wants now, the memory burning him - Elrond, the pretty chained nightingale star - a silver cage and a gold for Galadriel. Sauron’s unwilling consorts, Celebrimbor a trophy of sorts - a victory, a pet crafter to hold against Middle Earth. Elrond is a fear, the image of a defeat and Celebrimbor knows that too).
-
Pharazon does not like them together, except when he is there but even then they must see to him, to his pleasure. They have let him think them defeated and it seems to please the man - to have what he wishes. And yet, yet they are not.
There is light and high beauty forever beyond the reach of the grasping choking shadows and Miriel has always felt it - perhaps never more than when she is with Elendil. Pharazon is small beneath it and while Elendil names her Luthien she thinks of Beren. They will endure.
