Does anyone think about how Nandor was briefly obsessed with the One True Love he had in all his wives? And he didn't really love the rest but he definitely loved that one, and once he remembered anything about them he'd feel ready to be with that one forever?
Well, he couldn't find them, but he still looks for companionship at the gym. Because the gym reminds him of how he and his soldiers used to wrestle and admire each other after battle. And he'd love Guillermo to join him but apparently Guillermo just isn't a gym guy, he's always so busy.
Anyway, Guillermo is such a skilled warrior. Such a loyal soldier. He slaughtered a full theater full of vampires! He could kick anyone's ass he wanted to! But he'd never ever betray Nandor, because he's not just a warrior, he's a loyal warrior, and Nandor will look one of the few vampires scarier than him in the eye and say with perfect humble certainty that he knows Guillermo is true.
Just like he'll argue with his best friends for over a month to spare his unassuming little friend who has just proved he's a soldier. Because he knows Guillermo is a good soldier, he's never been more sure of anything, and it's one of the first times he's fully started to see him. Suddenly he's so ready to see it. He'll champion it to anyone listening. Guillermo is a warrior and a bodyguard and the code of the warrior is that when someone protects you, you owe them forever.
There was one person, he's sure, none of the others mattered. But he definitely found love with that one. If only he could remember-
"Try to remember her how she lived, not how she died."
We lost our cat this week and it came sudden, she wasn't that old. That quote is from my toddler and it is the wisest thing I heard in a while. It might take me some time to get over the pain of her loss but I want to remember her as she lived. And I will make a follow up post that will be happier.
I’ve been having thoughts of Nate and Suri walking through and exploring a souk, just them both, an immersive and even-intimate way to re-connect with the language of her grandfather, this tweet came up at just the right time
Habibi/Habibti (my love) // Rouhi (my soul)
Hyati (my life) // Eayani (my eyes)
Qalbi/Albi (my heart) //Ma Atyaback (how cute are you)
Bahlam Feek/Bahlam Feeki (i dream of you)
Omri (my life)
Wahashtini (i miss you)
Ana bahebak/ana bahabik (i love you)
… and though the canon pet name for N to the detective is ‘rouhi’, I’ve long headcanoned Nate calling Suri ‘hyati’ and Suri calling Nate ‘rouhi’
And even their couple name, Nuri, a common name, meaning ‘my light’
Since I'm noticing FolderPET posts are appearing on this site, I'm gonna share my headcanons for them ^^
Folder secretly has a consciousness, but hides it unless the only people around are other ai/desktop assistants. He automatically acts like he does in ONE if a non-ai/desktop assistant person looks at him. It's basically like Toy Story.
Kinito is pan while Folder is omni. They're also ace4ace!
They both love giving and receiving physical touch from one another. Basically, lots of cuddles, hand-holding, leaning against each other, hugging, falling asleep in the other's arms, etc.
Kinito's main love language is gift-giving! He tends to code in little gifts for Folder (like flowers), as well as write short stories for him. Folder has a folder (heh) in the computer's downloads where he keeps all of Kinito's gifts :3
Folder's main love language, on the other hand, is words of affection! During cuddle-time, he'll often murmur sweet compliments to him. Kinito absolutely MELTS everytime he does it
Although both of them are conscious beings with emotions (including romantic attraction), they also somewhat determine their behaviors based on what they were coded to do, and neither of them were programed to express romance. Initially, they both knew they had romantic feelings for one another, but had no idea how to actually express it to each other. Basically, the beginning of their relationship consisted of them researching things that human couples did and trying the things out together to figure out what they liked.
Adding onto headcanon #6, when they learned about kissing, they wanted to do it but couldn't properly because Kinito lacked a mouth, and he felt bad about it. Fortunately for them, in a state of pure geniusness™, the two came up with the idea of no-contact kisses, which was basically them hovering their faces close to each other and saying "mwah" repeatedly (it looks exactly as silly as it sounds)
They like to draw together on paint.
Folder thinks that Kinito looks hella cute in his reading glasses
They have a "yaps x listens" dynamic, usually with Folder as the yapper and Kinito as the listener, but they switch roles sometimes
I might make a part 2, because I still have more headcanons for them :>
One of the many things I love about the Reylo fandom:
We all silently agreed that Ben’s name for Rey is “sweetheart”. Like. Idk how or when it happened. (Reylo became my OTP only three months ago confession-) Maybe it has to do with the novels but everyone just writes that and I fucking love it because it’s adorable and fitting.
Like Ben thinks she’s the most pure,loving, caring, kind soul to exist simply for loving someone like himself (because he’ll never fully forgive himself for everything even if he was manipulated as a minor since he was, ya know, an infant)
But I wanna know what y’all think Rey would call Ben. In my fics I usually go with baby but their mutual pet name is love/ my love. But what are your thoughts, I’m curious-
these are the NPCs I’m the the most delusionally horny about which means I have decided to ship them
A little somethin’ goin on at the Last Light. An urbane counsellor and a salt of the earth Harper officer with little in common—at first—aside from a glass at the bar after another long, cruel, nerve wracking day. Maybe an offhand comment turns into a debate. Maybe a strong hand accidentally brushes an exposed thigh. Maybe they’ve both been good soldiers and dutiful leaders for so long they’ve almost forgotten they’re women, too, and maybe a roll (or two or three) in the hay is all they need to break out of the doldrums. Maybe they don’t realize what they have until Florrick is well on her way back to Baldur’s Gate, but maybe in the aftermath of it all, when they’re both helping, their eyes meet across the rubble and they realize they’ve been given a second chance, too…
