--- Connections ---

This scene always makes me tear up...

Emma just told Killian she and Henry will leave again, and if that wouldn't be hard enough, he's presented with this wholesome family moment...

Look at that genuine smile, feeling happy for them, turning into a sad expression, being immediately reminded of not just what he doesn't have and probably never will — a family, but also of all the connections he'll soon lose yet again...

Because ever since their shared adventures in Neverland bonds had been knit, and not just with Emma — David had started to warm up, and he developed a caring, mentoring relationship with Henry after Neal's death.

The longing to be a part of them has never been more present...

He knows that they'll be apart the same way they were, when Emma and Henry had to stay, whereas he and everyone else was sent back to the Enchanted Forest a year ago. And even though David and Snow would stay in Storybrooke, they've a newborn to take care of and it wouldn't help curing his aching heart, either.

Then again, he once had thought it would be easy to just again become, who he was before meeting Emma and her family, but it was too late...His hardened heart had already softened.

He tried to pretend to be the same villainous pirate, in the end his real morale compass and awoken conscience made it impossible to continue being this person without feeling regret, though...

And he knows that the cycle is about to repeat itself as soon as Emma and Henry leave — the cycle that he'll end up all alone again, this time feeling ten times worse, though, because he's not ruthless Captain Hook anymore...

Nemiroff asked Hewson if they had considered how that relationship started. “Yeah, we did talk about that. We talked about that a little bit," said Hewson. And while none of the "nitty gritty specifics of it" have been nailed down as potential future canon, Hewson has a solid idea of how that romance began. They explained,

"Where we've landed is like, well, before the plane crash, they were hooking up. I don't think they were together. And I think that they were hooking up and not talking about it...

"I think it's one of those things where they were seeing each other and then privately being like, 'This is nice. What … ah! Don't worry about it! It's fine,’ and then probably not saying anything.

Even before we knew that Van and Taissa were gonna be a couple in the show, like when we were filming the pilot, I was always like, Van really likes Taissa. Van thinks Taissa’s really cool, so it’s like, no matter what that was always buried in there for me playing her.

And then sometimes on my own I'm like, well, what I think happened is that Van realized that Taissa liked girls as well and then started teasing her on purpose [laughs], and then they probably kissed in the locker room and then never spoke about it. But I usually keep a lid on that. [Laughs].”

Once Upon A Time 3x05 "Good Form" my beloved, I know the text and shots and scene transitions directly parallel Hook saving David's life to Killian's loss of his brother, and Killian's pained expressions of seeing David succumb more and more to the same poison Liam did. Killian's insistence David tell his family, give them the chance to say goodbye that Killian didnt have with his brother. Of Killian himself sayinf David reminded him of Liam, his canonical hero. I know the ep's dialogue speaks of Killian's want to be seen as a man of honor, to be that man of honor.

And I know Killian would absolutely have been a deflective ass with the "I didn't do it for you" to David about saving his life, bantering teasingly that he did it for Emma like David has accused all of his actions to get to and be at Neverland as - just a selfish attempt to have Emma.

And I know Killian's half-joking flirtation with Emma later with "Is that all your father's life is worth to you?" is in character bc for his entire presence on the show previously he has used compliments of himself and flirtatious remarks as deflection, jokes, and to be actively antagonistic/inflammatory/annoying/playful.

I know all of this. I know this is all perfectly in character and the nonspoken motives informed by the flashbacks to his past and his performance are deeply in character. But christ alive I wish that a tiny little line would've been added in somewhere that made it clear that his motivations in this ep and the Neverland arc as a whole weren't just about Emma bc it feels like the writers partially forgot this in 3a, despite the strength of this episode and all its parallels. They say characters' feelings out loud or allude to them more directly in dialogue all the time like pleeeeeeease, you could've made it a lil more obvious it's not solely bc of Emma like. i just wish it wasn't easily misread if u didn't read into it deeper with Killian's characterization, beyond his contradicting words

the movie didn’t explore the memory issues involved in the expendable process which is a shame. I think

[unloneliest]

i watch 9-1-1 exclusively through tumblr gifs and ramblings lmao and i'm very invested in the buddie of it all. do you think that's actually where the show is headed? i might watch for real if that's the case.

hi tj ily i hope life is treating you kindly!!!!! 100% yes i think that's where the show is headed. like. you know how it feels to have been right about dan and phil and gay cas. this is the same feeling.

i only started paying attention last fall because of friends who were into it so i can't speak on it the way i can dnp but people who can are saying things like this. and that was posted before last night's episode, which. the show is literally going all in on them. it is actively happening. that episode literally note for note hit things that've only been present in fics.

not only is it where the show is headed. it's um. where it's been headed since they gave buck a boyfriend who wasn't eddie as a plot device last season. and it's been a textual and probable possibility to the general audience since episode 11 of this season. it's not like. about to happen. it is already starting to happen.

This is not a CamChase post, but, I actually do want to talk about something I feel is deeply underappreciated by fandom, which is: Cameron and Chase are actually friends.

Long before they ever sleep together, all the way back in early S1. The two of them are almost always shown to get along! Cameron sticks up for Chase the entire Vogler arc, refusing (incorrectly) to believe he would rat, or that he should be fired. Chase, noted apathetic, actually tends to go out of his way to compliment or stick up for Cameron in early episodes: he passes along her good ideas to House (Maternity), defends her from House's criticism (Detox), and compliments her good ideas in Pilot and DNR, something he notable never does once for Foreman.

They get along! They have a joking conversation about lab results and House and Foreman's fight in Socratic Method. In Paternity Chase makes a sort of borderline inappropriate joke that the patient should take his mind off his pain by admiring Cameron's boobs; Cameron laughs instead of getting offended. In Sports Medicine, he teases her about her upcoming date with House. In Hunting, before the meth hookup, Chase is openly worried about her and asks Cameron to drinks; he even offers to do extra work so she can take it easy! Chase! The laziest man alive!

But to me, the most telling example is in in Mob Rules. We're at the start of the Hameron arc, and last episode Cameron asked House if he liked her, which he didn't answer either way. And what does Cameron do? She talks to Chase about it.

CAMERON: Did House seem weird to you? CHASE: Are you expecting him to be weird? CAMERON: We spoke about how we felt. CHASE: You told him you liked him? CAMERON: No, of course not. CHASE: What are you talking about, then? CAMERON: I asked him if he liked me. CHASE: Why would you do that? CAMERON: Because… I like him.

They're friends! Chase reacts with zero surprise that Cameron likes House; she goes to him for advice in a moment she's feeling vulnerable. He already knows she likes House, Cameron wants his opinion. This is a conversation between friends.

In fact, this happens a few times. Notably, Cameron tries very hard to get Chase to open up to her in Cursed:

CAMERON: You know, parents are never as bad as kids think they are. CHASE: You like my dad so much, ask him out. CAMERON: [joking] I’d make an excellent step-mom, I’m very lenient. [pause] He’s your father, you never see him, and he’s here. Unless he’s done some unspeakable thing, you should lighten up. CHASE: Right, thanks for the tip.

And, yeah, she clearly doesn't get it, but she's trying! She's joking around, she cares. Cameron tries to get Chase's advice in Sleeping Dogs Lie, she commiserates with him in Deception, she unilaterally defends Chase in The Mistake. They joke around sometimes, she confides in Chase when the TB guy in TB or Not TB asks her out: Cameron goes to Chase for relationship advice! More than once!

These are conversations that do not happen with other characters: Cameron and Foreman indicate they respect one another medically, but never have personal conversations; Chase doesn't open up to anyone, period. But whenever Cameron is looking for advice or to share romantic gossip�� she goes to Chase. And Chase, for his part, likes to tease her (and she him: sex can kill you was 1000% Cameron trolling him), but honestly tends to be… if not automatically sympathetic, he listens, he jokes about TB Guy, he knows about her crush on House and treats it like old news. They're! Friends! I would actually argue this is probably the main reason Cameron goes to him when she decides she wants casual sex: Chase is someone she, in fact, likes. Even if that liking is not romantic. (Even the btw we should have sex, I will never love you is uh. Unless you are totally deranged that is not how you approach a fwb situation. Unless you. You know. Know Chase isn't gonna be offended because he already knows you're friends and aren't trying to drag him.)

And this actually does continue once they do date, btw. They're constantly hanging out. Chase spends entire episodes of S5 just hanging out in the ER. He still likes to tease her (Whatever it Takes), she inexplicably/hilariously still ropes him into her House drama (Ugly), but I can count on one hand the number of times they bicker or are unkind and mean it. They are friends! They always were friends. And that was the case long before they ever hooked up. In an AU where they never dated, they would still be friends. Their (romantic) relationship was badly written, no one likes it, I get it. But honestly I really do love how well they got along in S1-2, and I wish people appreciated that friendship more.

it's so funny to me that with mdzs, mxtx claims that the only gay couple is wangxian (which is a lie, but okay), but with svsss she's like "yeah the transmigrated author and the demon he specifically wrote to be hot are also gay. and guess what? they also have bad sex"

[saxandviolins77]

curious, Devy doesn't have a unique voice in your continuity, right? he just uses his components's vocalizers? any voices he favors using over others? depends on the use case?

-🦜

Yep! His "voice" is just their voices in unison. I guess you could say this has some thematic relevance, but in the lore it's just that Megatron was cheap, Shockwave was cheaper and Bombshell didn't care.

He's lucky to have something of a voice, yk? He wasn't even supposed to have a face! (Or a mouth... Soundwave is disappointed with Megatron's decision-making skills.)

But yeah, he speaks through his body and moves his mouth in synchrony, giving bystanders the impression he has a throat mechanism or something similar. I don't think he can actively choose whose voice he speaks in, mostly because he actively denies his components' individuality. However! Subconsciously? Yeah, some voices get louder depending on his emotional state; it's not really clear cut and sometimes barely noticeable.

For instance, your may hear Scavenger's voice when Devastator is particularly apologetic; when he is lying you may hear Scrapper's voice as an undertone of whoever's voice is stronger at the moment; if Devastator is feeling a little bossy he'll speak in Hook's tone of voice, it may not be Hook's voice, but the intonation is there (ig if you're a regular at the medbay you get shivers when this happens.) If he takes a heavy blow and is feeling offended at being hurt, he'll use Bonecrusher's voice, and if he's acting like a little shit, he'll use Mixmaster's voice (maybe not the accent, one thing doesn't mean another.)

Uh, miscellaneous facts section while I'm here already:

He doesn't have Mixmaster's stutter (this may have made Mixmaster insecure for like... Two minutes after they noticed it.)

I don't think Long Haul's voice would be used as much. Reasons unique to Long Haul.

If he's particularly distressed, each word he speaks will come out of a different vocalizer. This is normally followed by him breaking apart into his component pieces.

He's an awful singer (theoretically he could harmonize with himself, but like, he won't.)

Also when a voice gets louder it doesn't mean his right leg is getting louder while the rest of him is getting quieter. It just means the rest of his vocalizers are adjusting to match the frequency and pitch of whatever part of Devastator is acting up.

funny thought that just came to me do you think watanuki would start crying getting spooned for the first time because he's emotionally overwhelmed
