Had a ShanksAce thought that made me laugh:
imagine some outsider who only knows Shanks and Ace separately, and specifically has only ever seen Ace in a bad mood. Thinking like, an innkeeper that Ace saw being rude to his staff, so Ace is in turn equally cold to him
Meanwhile, Shanks at least puts on an air of approachability, especially for the sake of smoothing the waters so their crews can have a relaxing evening of drinking/rest
But the stranger says something to Shanks like, "see, guys like that Spade pirate, they're so hard to read—I've got no clue what he's thinking. More folks should be like you, buddy! I've never met a friendlier guy, feels like I've know ya for ages!"
and Shanks takes that in with this slowly sharpening smile, until he thinly says, "You don't say?" and then he sees Ace waiting on the stairs to go to their room and politely excuses himself to go break their rented bed "have a discussion with my associate"
basically just, the humor in their surface level personalities being the opposite of their core personalities, ahaha

Pedro Pascal (my Love) on the cover of Wired Magazine, February 2023 issue. OH MY GOD. Besides my newborn niece, this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am actually speechless. Everything about this photo is perfection. That streak of light across his face, the hair, especially that little tuft of hair behind his neck, the salt & pepper beard, his expression, his beautiful rich dark eyes, those lips...the black wardrobe...omg...I actually gasped when I first saw this. I am SCREAMING! Just.....LOOK AT HIM!!

54%. Describe your character's favorite possession. Where did they get it, and why are they so attached?
coughs. this one's from a while ago. sorry friends. >.> [battery percentage-themed oc asks]
I'm going to use this as an invitation to take something I know I've talked about in piecemeal style in maybe one or two places and actually put Tyr on blast (affectionate) about it, lmao. And that's Tyr and nostalgia, in a way.
But more specifically, the single possession Tyr's ever had any kind of deep attachment to that ignores his every attempt to move away from it, no matter how rational the argument may be, is the Phantom.
To stand for a bit on my oc soapbox, nostalgia, in a way, is sort of a central theme to Tyr. I've spoken to a notable extent about how his identity as Cipher Nine (or... what might be the lack thereof, to others) and his history with Imperial Intelligence is a point of personal pride for him, to this day. He is proud of it. He's still loyal to that notion of it in his mind - to the sentiment that made him sign on, to that core team that surrounded him for so much of his career.
And the Phantom is, after this long, the only thing that's truly left of that version of Imperial Intelligence. Its name is fitting in a whole new way, isn't it? The flight deck is filled with the phantoms of his past - the specters and apparitions of those ideals, those loyalties, the bonds forged and the challenges faced. No longer simply a phantom in speaking of its primary owner being a Cipher, but... the one tangible sign that Tyr... hasn't let go of some things. Maybe he never will.
There's a part of him that'd reason it should've gotten him killed by now, sure. That kind of thing is taught to them as a liability. But I also think the older he gets, the longer he's spent in the role of Alliance Commander... It's certainly not cockiness, or any real sense of assurance, but the galaxy has changed, and so has his role in it, as much as he still has trouble quite defining it in a way that speaks of his personal desires and connections of it.
It's not that he's always consciously thinking of the ship in this way, but I think it's settled as a part of him, if you will. It's the one thing he'll have a hard time laying to rest even when he finally successfully walks away from the demands of his career. It's at times symbolic of the perhaps one piece of himself, as molded as it was to fit the needs of becoming Cipher Nine, that he's not quite willing to part with, give up, or let anyone change any further. It's a badge of that pride in the people and experiences that forged him, and who he wanted to be as a younger man. There is perhaps always going to be maybe a sliver of him, maybe far more reminiscent of an excitable teen with their first driver's license (or flying, in this case) gripped in hand that'll always wish... just one more flight. Just one more.
There was a rare kind of peace, a rare taste of hope in watching the expanse of stars blur and reach beyond the definition of space on the bridge. Tyr hasn't gotten a lot of proper goodbyes with many of the people he's loved and respected in his life. He's not sure he's ready to finally say it, but that ship's maybe the only place it'd feel right to do so.
