| KITTENS, SQUIRRELS AND MY HOT NEIGHBOUR | A Rorin One-shot | Fairy Tail Next Generation |

Ship: Rosemary Fernandez x Rin Fullbuster

Rosemary was mortified to say she had seen it all.

And by that, she meant ALL.

She thought moving to Magnolia away from her strict family would benefit her, expand her views on the world.

Expand her views, oh dear Lord.

Moving day was uneventful at the beginning. She finished arranging most of the furniture by noon on her own, adamant to hire help. Now all that remained was additional decor, the dishes and fitting her clothes in the closet. The pretty red-head decided to eat out for lunch and had only stepped out her porch when she gazed upon the finest specimen mankind had to offer.

His windswept blue hair made her swoon internally as he appeared to have returned from a jog. And those pectorals.... her eyes glazed over as she checked him out.

He just pursed his lips, gahhhh!

Gosh, run your hand over your hair one more time and I might jump you.

Her internal tirade was interrupted by her stomach. It growled. And by growled she meant growled like a whale in heat. And by that she meant hot guy just heard her stomach growling. And by that-

Okay, we get the point.

She straightened her posture and tried to look intimidating as she took long strides toward him and stood on her tiptoes (so much for intimidating). She reached out a hand toward him in lieu of a greeting.

And he grimaced at her as if she was the piece gum stuck on the sole of his shoe.

Wow, great first impression dude! I almost want to be your neighbour. Not.

"And staring at your neighbour like a creepy stalker is? A great first impression, that is, since you seem to know all about those." He pointed.

She'd said it out loud then. She kicked herself and winced, making the hot jerk wary of her sanity.

Like he had reason to be! Ridiculous! She was only talking to herself! It wasn't as if- WHAT IN THE

"WHERE ARE YOUR PANTS?!!!!" She yelled, horrorstruck.

His eyes widened as he looked at his- well, lack of covering- and cursed under his breath.

"DON'T LOOK!"

But it was too late.

Too late.

The whole day she spent bemoaning the loss of her innocence. (Who was she kidding, she secretly enjoyed it. Just because she was a Bio major. Nothing more. And now she stopped making sense. Again. Ughhh.)

Needless to say, their blossoming friendship (or relationship??) had been nipped at the bud. He now avoided her like the plague (it wasn't like she'd flashed him!!) but she swore sometimes she'd catch him staring at her.

But the truth remained that she'd mucked up her chance at making new friends at the first try.

Hey, at least she had Ricardo, the extremely stupid squirrel living on the acacia tree in her backyard.

Well, on second thought, she thought as she saw him try to woo the woodpecker on her tree for the 978th time this month (take a hint, Ricardo!) maybe he wasn't the best choice of companionship.

I'm gonna end up a cat lady, aren't I? Her shoulders drooped as she stared at the tree vacantly. Maybe moving out wasn't one of her best ideas...

...................

Maybe it was the internal Erza in her berating her for wallowing in her self pity, or that she'd realised she and Ricardo had more in common than she thought. Either way, the next day she'd adopted a bunch of kittens.

Yes, you heard it right.

And she wondered why she hadn't done this sooner.

Mayonnaise, Guacamole and Nacho. The little balls of fur were adorkable, as was expected of cuddly little munchkins, and fawning over them did wonders to her self esteem.

The kicker however, happened a week after.

She groaned loudly as she struggled to get out of bed and stumble to the door, her fluffy slippers in hand. She put them on as she wobbled down the stairs and rubbed her eyes of any pending sleep. Who was the fucktard that dared disturb her sleep at bloody 8 in the morning on A WEEKEND?! She grabbed her baseball bat as she opened the door.

"WHAT?" She growled at- wait that's a chest... She glanced up and met the eyes of her very amused neighbour.

Now that she thought about it, she must've looked like quite the escaped convict with her neon orange pajamas-don't ask, a gift from her annoying friend Nashi- and bedhead. He must've finally noticed the fluffy bunny slippers because he suddenly doubled over, banging the doorframe with one hand as he let out one of the most adorable laughs she'd ever heard (he sounded like a dying llama actually, but sureee, whatever you say brain)

When he'd finally stopped laughing, (which was an embarrassingly long time later) he leaned against the doorframe-Oh good God -and shot her a gorgeous megawatt grin that had her squinting in suspicion.

"I heard you adopted kittens."

She blinked at him, "And you come here at frigging 8 on a weekend to state the obvious?"

"Well, not exactly," he chirped, the subtle quirk of his lips proving he knew how much he was irking her,"I want to meet 'em. Please?"

5 minutes later, Rosemary found herself making breakfast as her hot neighbour cooed (I kid you not, cooed) at her kittens as she also simultaneously managed to convince herself she allowed it only because he asked nicely. No doubt about that.

"What are their names?" He asked as he scratched Nacho behind his ear.

"Mayonnaise, Guacamole and Nacho."

"I'm sorry, what?" He spluttered, making Rosemary shuffle her feet partly out of embarrassment and partly out of defensiveness.

"What's wrong with those names?" She threatened with her red hot spatula pointed at his neck. He raised his hands and gulped.

"No complaints, ma'am!"

She turned to flip the pancakes. "That's better."

"Hey, I'm-uh Rin. Rin Fullbuster," he said as if he'd just remembered to introduce himself.

She smiled to herself as she flipped another pancake. "Rosemary Fernández."

"Hey, I LOVE ROSEMARY!" He cheered obliviously.

Rosemary choked as she whipped her head toward him so hard it cracked. She accidentally touched the hot pan and let out a yelp of pain. His eyes widened as he realised the implications of his statement.

"I meant the-Gah- the plant, I mean-Ah fuck, your hand!"

13 minutes and one burnt pancake later, Rosemary had learnt quite a bit about Rin.

For instance, he nonchalantly mentioned that he was studying medicine as he treated her hand without batting an eye. He also said that he lived with his twin sister Sylvia and had an elder brother.

His eyes flickered as he blurted, "Can I treat you to dinner? How does um-tonight sound? Yeah tonight," he looked her in the eyes with so much enthusiasm she might've melted if her palm hadn't been so severely burnt.

Her eyes crinkled as she nodded in agreement, "Sure, I'd love that!"

Bonus:

"So you're telling me that Ricardo should've be getting his hopes up over the woodpecker even when she lets him stay in her hole and even eats from the same tree as him?" Rin raised an eyebrow at the red-head who scrunched her forehead.

"That doesn't have to mean anything. Maybe she just wants to be friends!" She gestured unbelievingly.

"What? That doesn't make sense! Of course there's something else! You don't just share your food with friends! That's the equivalent of going out in the animal world!" Rin blinked at her as if she was the one sputtering nonsense.

"No it isn't! You can go out for dinner platonically too!"

He frowned. "I can prove it!"

Rosemary tilted her head to look at him, "How?"

"We've been going out to dinner for 2 months now. Does this mean that we're just friends?"

"Um yeah! We are? How is this proving the point?"

Rin stared at her like she'd grown two heads and yelped, "WAIT YOU'RE SERIOUS?!"

Rosemary flushed, "Well, yes. I didn't know you were interested in uh-You like me? That way?"

Rin looked like he'd been living a lie as he squeaked, "UH- YES! I DO! LIKE YOU! And here literally everyone was calling me whipped and telling me how obvious I was being, but haha!"

He suddenly whipped his head in her direction like a man possessed. " YOU LIKE ME TOO, RIGHT? SHIT, DO YOU? I MEAN I DON'T WANT TO FORCE YOU OR-"

"I DO! I DO! I mean I've never really thought you liked me Ughhh you know what? Fuck this."

She tugged on his shirt as her lips met his and all was forgotten.

Though, Rin never hesitated to tease her and her obliviousness at every given opportunity. She didn't mind.

She had her blue-haired squirrel of a neighbour in the end anyway.

GTA 5 HEADLESS EASTEREGG! "Extremely Scary!" (GTA 5)

Hello guys, it's what ' s. We have another great Symphony performance. GTA5 video in today's 39 s. Today we 39 re-play GTA 5, and as you all know, I am playing GTA 5 at 3am. It's super scary, it's frightening, and I don't like it. But, I heard of a new mythological creature. I got word of a brand new myth and I thought it would be really cool to go check it out. I was going to do a live stream on this, but currently I & # 39 m. Actually I & # 39 ve taxis, so I mean you guys hanging out doing fun stuff. Let's say I'm sure. We'll just let 39 s record it. If we can, we find it. It is possible to just guess as to its location, but the myth is a headlessboard that doesn't really pop. Queen ' looks just like Arthur. GTA browser horses aren 't. GTA man horses aren’t either. You won't find any. Nope! No, no nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. Dude, what the hell is this thing? I don & # 39 t, know square, oh my god. Okay, there 39 s, a flame there. Okay doing the word game from you would fight. This is it. When I set up my street or my video, I literally sat here for almost as long as I don't know about 15-20 minutes. I & # 39 ve had my character here, so it literally took 15 or 20 minutes business than you appear. I don't think 39 t, understand: we got to go back, and we got ta get a closer look at a damn fine chocolate yeah. Joe, I ' m gon't na turn over your yellow. Ok, so we didn't leave you, but don't be alarmed. This could be a brand-new GTA 5 creature. This was my first impression of a headless horse. I thought this was just a head before I was gon na walk over and be like hi Jake. I'm a hard. I have no head. It is quite scary. Don & # 39 t get me wrong. It's scary to see a horse without its head, but it is a beautiful horse Rob. That man is too much for me. I can deal both with you, to pick one flaming or flamingit or headless horses. I can 't close OK, so we 've got somewhere to go. All right, I came up with an idea. I had an idea. He is our goal. I & # 39 m, just shooting her new found, a good cry. So weird battle cry: I don & # 39 t. Think it & # 39 s, one riding with you. He 39 s not like a is sufficient, but like a heads up before sinners. They started fire. I hope that he has started the fire and timber thoughts. Okay, everyone, let's calm down. We & # 39 re perfectly okay, we & # 39 re safe over here. It's a fact that forces can't climb mountains. You can & # 39 t climb mountains. I & # 39 ll, pick again, okay, so i know you & # 39 re taking off Jake. Why did you kill that bunny? Mr. flat flops was simply doing his job. You know what? But, I have an idea, guys: We 39 re, going, to use the bunny bait. So now that there & # 39 s, some blood here, the Headless Horseman might come around the corner and you might go into taxa bunny don & # 39 t know this is a long shop. Is this worse than shooting at the train? That's right. Why don't 39 t? You feel what your find. You know, and I feel I feel like it & # 39 s more scary, because you guys aren & # 39 t playing so like when I & # 39 m street. I'm glad you guys are here. At least you can be Jake. Oh my God! But now, there's no one there. I have never heard anyone tell me this. I think we can go with you. You can stream live right now. I don & # 39 t. Think my bait, I & # 39 d. Walk right here, try and get over to where we lots of that fire. All I can say is that I am in shock. It gets even worse when you see our PG. So, even though we may have found a headless, even though we may have found a headless force, there are still other creatures, roaming, GTA 5, as you guys know, so we got ta watch out for things. You know jump it down on us, okay, yeah or like weird trees. Monkeys, I don & # 39 t, know free stuff, but guys this is looks funny. Okay, this isn't funny. This is not funny. Don & # 39 t get Papa J wrong. In no way is this funny. This isn 39 t haha funny, this is because I 39 ve scared him shitless. What is more interesting is the fact that I honestly didn't think we could find it. It is unlikely that we will ever find the test. Yes, I was sure we would get on and search for him. But I believe the key Wiz so that I 39 ve been there, not I 39 ve been here. The secret is that I went around. I believe i spawned in this area. I likely stayed for a while. I think i drove around. After playing around for a while, I made dinner. Okay, I'm able to shoot okay. I shoot fire. Oh, he tells us givers at the light, would protect you fat and you will he & # 39 s, multiple fire? I would, start fires around this place. Let's do it, Russell. I 'm doing Dennis yes, so guys. The thing is, I was so bored with the game that I felt like I was having my AFA guy in it that he actually came over to start after a server quarry. That is insane. Come over. Get out of here, this article don't like you, tears anymore. That 39 s is where my friend Bambi was just a strange hazlit & 39 s version of you running around trying killing people. I sound like the frig. Oh, my gosh there. We will always anticipate what we & #39 are going to do. Oh, my god! No! No! No! No! No! Please! I & # 39 M. Sorry! I 'm. Sorry. You went back to the body, you went back to you too buddy boy option B, Hydri mode to die. Let me get rid this pot brownie. She's gone using your pony. He ' sat down. There are no pony boys screaming. As you can see, I am freaked out. Okay, guys. I was freaking out. I don & # 39 t like horses. Here she does something different. Maybe if I shoot something out here to promote little bit over 35, eternal fire, Oh time to shoot employed, I & # 39 m, just a shooter, no Julie, brown, Dino horde route by or die sigh. What do you think is screeching? I think it's the most creepy screech. Ever I don & # 39 t, know man, I don & # 39 t know I & # 39 m like freaked out right over. I'm freaking out right now guys, I ' m, really picky eat bunny. You could try to kill us. It isn't normal. This is the normal subway campbell that turns places on super camp. As men, if you are able to get around, it may give you a good angle from which to shoot at them. I don't know anyone nope nonepe nope. We are done. We & # 39 re done. You can watch the live stream again, but Papa Jake has stopped doing that. It & # 39 s. Freaking me out. If you guys would like me to do a follow up live stream where we check out the source head, let me know. But guys, I can't handle that anymore. That it starts afraid to leave this new GTA 5 minutes ago is too frightening. Thanks so much for watching. Please do not force me to go through another stream at night. I said that I can't. Do anything scary.

Just random comments in the Times Interview. :)

They say they loved writing the book together - although Hillary drove her daughter mad by writing her parts in longhand.

I heard this in Stephen Colbert's show and still gets me every time. LOL. Hillary is such a treasure. I am sure it might drive Chelsea crazy but since she can’t do anything about Hillary’s ways, she just takes it. hehe.

They sit side by side on a sofa, and while each one talks the other turns to gaze with rapt pride.

Oh, my gosh, this is so evident in their interviews! It really makes me “aww” every time Hillary or Chelsea look at one another. They really do adore each other.

Frictionless maternal adoration seldom exists outside fairy tales - so at first, I mistake it for yet more evidence of the unauthenticity of which the Clintons have so often been accused. The more they talk about their relationship, though, the less this cynicism feels plausible.

I am not sure why people have the impression that the Clintons are cold and not loving towards each other? I mean, dude, have you been reading their books? Have you been paying attention? :|

"Is emergency nanny" no one of her roles? She bursts out laughing. "I have played that role, yes."

Aww, this is so cute! Imagine her and Bill taking care of their grandchildren.

"...But I definitely notice treats happening. And I just have to let that go." There's a playful mischief in her mother's voice I've never heard before as she protests, "Well, I mean when your grandchildren want pizza for lunch and dinner, I don't see anything wrong in giving them pizza for lunch and dinner."

LOL, Hillary. I think it’s kinda typical (or where I live) that grandparents spoil their grandkids. It’s so endearing to know this.

"But at the top of either would be a wish that she could ease her daughter's burden of responsibilities. so she could  get more sleep."

Awww, this tugged at my heart. I love it when Hillary shows her material love for Chelsea. 

About Hillary staying in her marriage as the gutsiest thing she did. "I'm so overwhelmed by my mother's answer that I am a bit out of words. I'm just so proud to be her daughter." I ask why she'd been so surprised by her mother's answer: "It's clearly an incredibly painful time in our family's history and not one that we have spoken about together publicly, though of course, we've talked about it a lot privately. So I just didn't expect that to be the answer in that moment. But on reflection it seems obvious that it would have been."

Awww, Chelsea. :((((

Bill is now pretty absent from public life. He and Hillary live between Little Rock, New York and Washington, and appear to lead quite separate lives; the days of Billary are long gone. It seems incredibly that we know so little about their marriage now, when its dramas were once played out so publicly, the most intimate details of Bill's extramarital sex life - the stained dress, the cigar - all over the media. Even though the couple are seldom seen together nowadays, we hear no reports of anyone new in either her or Bill's life. Whether this says more about his self-restraint, or the family's power to control the narrative, is just one of the many Clinton mysteries.

Are you frigging kidding me?! I am not sure if we are just so updated with Hillary and Bill’s whereabouts (hello, stalking skills) but I really find this ... false? We’ve seen Hillary and Bill together. Although there are times that they may have their own events to attend, I still doubt that they are living separately. Plus, hello their recent pictures together at the launching of Tyler Perry Studios - so don’t me. HAHAHA. But I think it’s just a wrong impression like what others say about them living separately and that they have an open marriage. I’m seriously still puzzled why people don’t believe that Bill and Hillary can also have a discrete and private marriage without clinging to each other’s side all the time? 

Anyway, there are no satisfying these people. If they see Hillary and Bill together being close or sweet they think it’s all an act, but if they don’t see them together, they will assume they are separated. LOL. So what now?! HAHAHAHA

But yeah, wow, my rant. I really don’t believe this. I think Hillary and Bill are very much together and really just private.

[five-wow]

10.01 thoughts (or basically a rambly recap, very spoilery, with a lot of caps lock abuse) under the cut!!! :D

JERRY’S BEEN SHOT. that’s not actually a surprise at this point in any way, but oh gosh, poor guy. “it hurts more than i thought it would.” oh no. :c

i’m confused though - grover’s there calling an ambulance, jerry is bleeding, steve is keeping pressure on the wound, but where’s danny? clutching his heart out of frame? OH WAIT he could be arresting ezra hassan, i suppose?

on screen: 2 weeks later. jfdkfjdk they resolved that cliffhanger in like, under thirty seconds.

love jerry’s longer curly hair! REALLY LOVE that jerry and junior are playing battleship, omg.

jerry thought about HIS DND BUDDIES WHEN HE GOT SHOT. i love him. (i’m also both worried about his mental health and glad they’re showing him actually feeling some repercussions from getting shot, aside from the flesh wound.)

tani and junior!!! are going to the opera!!! wonderful, i’m into it.

AH. here we have steve on his date, omfg. it all looks so pretty - the background, the restaurant, the date, steve. REALLY AWKWARD conversation though, fjdkfd. steve’s been hanging with danny too much - as soon as someone asks “what are you thinking” he just opens up his heart.

“it’s just crazy, you know. things that happen at work.” FDJKFDJF i’m glad he’s seeing that AFTER NINE YEARS.

DANNY CALLS. i’ve seen the clips that were drifting around tumblr, so i knew it was going to happen, but still. DANNY CALLS. IN THE MIDDLE OF STEVE’S DATE.

“i think it’s best,” steve says, about taking a phone call from danny while he’s in the middle of a first date with a really pretty woman who seems very kind about his total awkwardness, oh BOY

the WAY danny says “hi” just already has me in stitches. i die. and then steve’s “dude! i don’t know.” he sounds so frustrated! poor guy.

“words are kinda just, they’re falling out of my mouth, i don’t know why.” OH STEVE. also: that’s 80% of all fic in which steve finally confesses his feelings to danny ever. thank you, canon, for giving us a steve who is canonically prone to this.

“do you have any game at all?” danny asks, of steve, WHO HE IS CALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF A DATE. the co-dependency here is HIGH and it’s probably unhealthy but i’m enjoying it a lot, truly.

okay so, steve says “you’ve called twice, we haven’t even ordered!” and then DANNY SAYS “if you answered my texts, i wouldn’t have to call” and that’s just ALL SO BAD. they are TERRIBLE together and that woman should probably run far away.

danny! way to build up steve’s confidence on this date by telling him his thing is awkward and messing things up, holy shit.

I’M SCREAMING. “that was danny. who i love. very much.” I AM YELLING. YES. GOOD. PREMIUM CONTENT.

just. i love “i love you”s, okay. i love them. we got one (1) in s9 at the end of 9.01, but we’re off to a good start now in 10.01, with steve telling his frigging date that he loves danny, oh my.

IT GOT WORSE. i paused like, in the middle of steve’s sentence, and then as soon as i hit play the date said “sounds like my ex” and steve says “you know, it’s funny that you say that, because it’s kind of like a marriage” and uh, hello steve, i made a gifset about that the day before yesterday, thank you for giving me an update, but also just. wtf. wtf holy shit

i. i just. this is supposedly steve on a date with a woman being all heterosexual, but it’s really an extremely mcdanno scene, like ten times more than i was prepared for, wow.

real talk though, i’m almost certain this relationship isn’t going anywhere, but this woman seems really cool!!! i love her so far.

tani is actually enjoying the opera and junior seems to be paying more attention to her than the stage and i have no idea if this is actually an officially official date between them or if they’re still “just friends”, but it’s all so cute. and then, of course, some anonymous guy shows up with a sketchy briefcase that’s inevitably going to contain weapons, but oh well, it was nice for how long it lasted.

a slightly updated intro!!! katrina law is already in it (which i like) and the new group shot is kind of crowded but really nice, but fjdkfdjkdf they chose a really awkward moment where adam is supposedly typing something on the tech table but he’s REALLY OBVIOUSLY just randomly tapping his fingers on it. that’s going to haunt me. oh dear show runners, why.

danny... says steve was blowing his date, as they arrive on the crime scene that junior and tani found, and steve says he has a second date and danny goes “you got a second date?” incredulously and almost dismayed and that just really sounds like he WANTED steve to blow it. what is this, danny, setting steve up with a pretty woman from steve’s school to test him? see if he’ll say no and fall in your arms instead, and when he doesn’t, you’re disappointed?

even the lighting in this random stairwell gun fight chase scene is kind of pretty! the blue and red? i like it.

oh NO, steve, you’re not even ten minutes into a new season and you’re chasing some suicidally parcouring bad guy across roof tops and into a jump that’s REALLY going to give danny a heart attack, jesus.

fdjkfd danny telling steve that ten years ago he would’ve made that jump? telling him he’s forty? i’m not sure if that’s kind of mean or really good, but it might be both.

plot stuff happens, but i keep getting distracted by all the grey in steve’s beard and his new, longer hair. it’s good.

i like quinn’s introduction!!! i really do, more than i’d expected. and honestly, that déjà vu thing lenkov was talking about is very faint to me, to the point where it’s mostly just there because danny says it out loud in the text and then forcibly makes it so. they’re not in steve’s garage, it’s the wrong car they’re standing next to, there are three people instead of two and there’s no “one, two, three” and showing badges, but steve yeets his badge over the windshield of the car in quinn’s direction. the similarity isn’t that strong.

danny going “i gotta follow him” about steve and “i don’t know [shrugs]” about where they’re going is beautiful.

i’m about halfway through the episode now and steve and danny have spent SO MUCH time together and it’s really good but also has me slightly worried that they’re pushing all the steve&danny content for the entire season in one episode, omg. it’s good, though. i’m happy for now.

adam is still doing yakuza stuff. i get it, because it’s the one big thing they’ve given his character, but i do get kind of tired of it. he’s supposedly out, but every time they need it for plot reasons, he still has connections somewhere that are willing to help him for whatever reason.

and then quinn shows up and pulls a gun on adam, fjdkfd. listen, i know i said i was getting tired of him doing the yakuza thing over and over, but shooting him would be a little drastic.

danny: “this is good, we’re chasing a monster truck. that’s totally normal, right?” how is it that NOW they’re both suddenly realizing their lives are kind of crazy? they weren’t crazy before, guys? guys??

HAH, the guy in the truck drives over a dozen cars. that’s ridiculous, but a lot of fun, omg.

danny, when he finds tani and quinn in the same room at hq: “oh good, you two have met.” YES. MY SENTIMENTS. except i’m perhaps a little more exuberant about it. TWO MAIN FEMALE CHARACTERS IN ONE SCENE YES GOOD I LIKE THIS. we haven’t had this since... season 4, maybe? when catherine was briefly part of the team?

oh SHIT. danny: “are you sure you’re not related to steve in any way?” okay SO. we’re all assuming quinn is steve’s new love interest, but quinn being steve’s secret half sister somehow? also nonsense, but nonsense i’d like. and i mean, they need to keep the mcgarrett family drama alive somehow, so this could be fun.

quinn: “can’t this thing go any faster? [steve looks at her weird] what?” steve: “nothing. just never had that complaint before.” that is a LIE. i know for a fact that that’s a lie, because i have a stupid amount of knowledge of h50 of the top of my head and one of the things i know is that in 8.01 tani pops up between steve and danny while she’s in the backseat of the camaro and ALSO asks if it doesn’t go any faster. i know what they’re going for here, setting quinn and steve up as equals, and i like what they’re trying to tell us about quinn as a character in theory but come on, if you’re trying to convince us steve is all impressed by this woman that you might be setting him up with romantically, at least do some continuity fact checking on your own show, guys.

anyway! i do like that it’s canon that all women in five-0 think the camaro isn’t fast enough. get wrecked, steve and danny, HA.

when steve said to the bad guy “my friend lou here is going to put some handcuffs on you” i thought at first that he said “liu”, as in quinn’s last name, and oh man, first they had tani and junior’s last names as rey and reigns, which was close enough, but now they have lou and liu, gosh.

!!! this talk between steve and quinn in front of kamekona’s?? i LIKE IT. A LOT. we get to know a little more about quinn and steve genuinely does treat her as an equal and a capable colleague and there’s nothing especially romantic about this, which is good this early on even if they’re doing that later because i do feel like it could possibly work but right now it would just be really weird and very forced and i’m just really relieved that’s the dynamic they’re going for. this, this is good.

OH BOY. “we’re breaking up with you, danny” steve says. i... wow.

FAIR THOUGH. it’s probably a REALLY GOOD idea of steve to maybe involve danny a little less in his dating life if he wants to, well, actually have one that’s viable for life, but oh GOSH. danny going “you can’t cut me out” when steve tells him this? danny is just. so interested in steve’s romantic life, damn.

tani: “mom and dad are fighting again.” fdjkfdjk YES. this time it’s not even junior saying this to eddie behind steve and danny’s back, it’s just tani saying it out loud to the entire group and nobody says anything about it so uhhh that’s accepted fact then, within the team. GOOD.

ohhhh jerry is leaving. also not a real surprise and it’s probably kind of good that the team doesn’t endlessly keep growing if quinn joins this season, but ahh, i’m sad, anyway.

GROUP HUG. i love EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THIS.

oh gooood, somebody put a bomb in the champ box in steve’s garage. that’s harsh.

final thoughts: i LIKED THIS. very much!!! i’m relieved about that, tbh, because at least i’m happy about the start of the season, which seems like a good sign, haha. i love quinn so far, there was REALLY GREAT mcdanno stuff in this, i love that steve is dating again, tani and junior seem to be dating, jerry is fairly healthy and happy - all around lots of good stuff.

i do kind of think that cliffhanger from last season got extremely little attention (we didn’t even see ezra hassan get arrested, and what happened to her kid? where was danny? idk it was weirdly short and quick), but it’s still possible they’re coming back to that in a later episode, idk.
