#that works by cheating by cheating it. that's just winnning at it.)

[ssaalexblake]

Does anybody want to tell the people still complaining that 13's era didn't have enough political commentary that the anti-imperialism themes, the condemnation of the treatment of refugees and immigrants, the emphasis on violence for violence's sake being bad but violence in the name of protection and self defence is acceptable and heroic (you can and Should fight back against violent colonizers), and and absolute refusal to give any ground to abusers (something the other eras were sketchy at Best over), we could talk about the environmental protection themes that appear about as subtly as a brick more than once (ideally environmental protection shouldn't be a political issue, but idk if you've watched the news lately, it is) were like. Really thematically obvious? And that if you talk about the Less obvious, it gets deeper.

We could talk about medical exploitation and the parallels of the timeless child to henrietta lacks (look her up). We could talk about the northern working class emphasis in the whole era and that its avoidance of the south is a statement in itself, from Sheffield steel to nobody having an upper class accent (sans that one time lord who ran division who had the Snootiest of snooty high class accents. Almost like they were making a Point). We could talk about how all our characters and reoccurring are working class, a bus driver, a trainee mechanic, a hotel manager etc etc, we could talk about the portrayal of actual honest modern poverty, and that it's explicitly shown that Dan Wants to work and is threatened off of the premises instead as the indictment of capitalism it is. We could talk about the very clear condemnation of tech companies taking advantage of their customers (calling fake google Vor was unacceptable tho, no defence available).

I could go on, but I'd like to drink my tea before it gets cold.

Sorry 13 didn't say the words eat the rich, but idk if you noticed, there was an actual whole episode where in the future the 1% who ruin the earth beyond repair literally get hunted and eaten by the mutated remains of the 99% whom they left to die 👍

Heartless - a criminal minds episode\\part 2

part 1, part 3, masterlist

- english is not my first language please exuse any spelling or grammer mistakes.

- this case is made up

- it happens around the.. 6th season, i think? so the team is Hotch, dave, Morgan, Prentiss, JJ and reid

- it will end up being Reidxreader kinda, tho my main focous is to create a plot line for an episode with a (y\n) charecter.

- lmk what you think - i try to make the charectes as in charecter i can :)

As per Hotches orders, once they've landed Reid and dave went to the MEs office, to take a look at the bodies. (y\n), prentiss and JJ joined Hotch and Morgan at the local police station, tho when they arrived the 5 of them split up - Hotch and morgan setteled in the station and talked to the chief officer, while the rest started interviewing the ex-soon-to-be-wives. … "Mr. Clark, hello, i am SSA prentiss" Emily says, shaking his hand as she sat down. He is wearing his work uniforms - a polo shirt with the symbol of the garage he workes for and a pair of dirty jeans with stains that are probably impossible to remove.

"i am so sorry for your loss, i can't even imagine what you are going through. The guy who was sitting across from her nodded, "thank you" he smiles weakly, clearly forcing himself to keep a more profational deminor, thoe he wasn't sure why, "and please, call me Daniel. mr. Clark is my dad". Prentiss smiles at him, trying to be comforting. "well, Daniel, i have a few questions for you, this might be… not so easy to hear, so take a moment, if you feel like you need it" Emily says, taking a breath herself.

This guy was already heartbroken over his murderd fiance, and now she's about to ask him if there is any chance he was being cheathed on. What an awful way to learn your partner may have been unfaithful. "go on, i am ready for whatever it is. i just want to know who did this to my… to the love of my life" Daniel says, and so Emily asks the question she has to. "Daniel, were there ever any suspitions your fiance was cheating on you?"

… "Mrs. garisson, hey" JJ smiles at the poor woman sitting on the padded chair, eyes red and hair in a messy bun. She is wearing a nice enough dress, clearly attempting to look okay. Layla wipes away the tears streaming down her face. "Hey" she says in a weak voice. "my name is Jennifer Jeroue, i am here with the FBI, we came to investigate what happend to James". "Thank you" Layla says, "i- i heard there were others. Other ones who lost.. lost their Fiance, others that…" she tries to finish the senence but failes. Her cries are painful for JJ to hear.

"Jennifer… why him? of all the people…" Layle askes, "he is such a great guy, everyone…" she stops, realising she is talking in present, "liked him. He was always so kind, and nice…" she continues to talk, tripping on her words. JJ lookes at her, wondering how would she be able to break her heart all over again. "uhm, Layla, i have to ask you this question - don't take this in the wrong way, please, we are just trying to make sure we are covering all our bases…" JJ starts, tho finishing the sentence is proving itself to be harder than she thought it will be, "has anyone ever suspected that james was't loyal?"

…

"you must be with the FBI" Winnoa says, reaching her hand out for (y\n) to shake. She is wearing a simple yet complamating button up shirt coverd in stripes that matched the ones on her pants. (y\n) cleares their throat and shake the hand that was offered to them, "yes, hello, i am agent (y\l\n), but you can call me (y\n)". "Thank you for coming" Winnona says, "this… this is awful. I don't think something like that has ever happened in our town. "well, this is part of the reason we are here, to help the local police deal with these horrible crimes" (y\n) says, sitting down. "is there anyway i can help? i was already questioned by the officers here, but maybe you can see something they couldn't see in my answears" The woman says, despreat to be of help.

"Winnona, i am very sorry for what i am about to ask…" they start, but they find it hard to figure out a way to finish the sentence. "whatever it is, please" the woman across from them is begging, and so (y\n) clears their throat to ask, tho they end up bearly forming the sentence. "is there any chance… do you think that maybe.. well, Winnona, i am so very sorry - have you ever suspected Sean was being unfaithful?"

…

"Well, no, never. Fiona was a kind soul, she could bearly hurt a fly. i highly doubt she would ever do such thing" Daniel says, "Why would you even feel the need to ask me this question?" his tone was laced with anger, but rightfully so. Prentiss expected that reaction. "well, just making sure we are looking at all possible leads" She says, "Can you think of someone that may have suspected that Fiona wasn't a great match for you? anyone ever objected to your engagment?" she asks this, aware of the facy Daniel is getting more and more upset as more words leave her mouth.

…

"i really don't think so" Layla says, her tone calm but her eyes full of pain. "as i said, he is- was, a lovely man, we loved each other, we were soulmates" her voice breaks as the word 'soulmates' leaves her mouth, and the tears fill her eyes once again. JJ smiled at her a sad smile, "Well. is there any chance there was someone who didn't agree with you on that?" JJ askes. Layla's cries grow stronger, and JJ's need to comfort her wins her need to be profitional. she gets up to rest her hand on Layla's shoulder. The woman leans into JJ, crying, and JJ's heart breaks.

…

"i never suspected such thing" Winnona says, "but, uh, my friend did. he was staying long hours in the office, and my friend who works at a similar posetion claimed she was never asked to stay so long at the office, not at that rate at least. I asked him about that, and he said that her boss is probably just less harsh than his is, and that he only has eyes for me, and that will never change. than he got on one knee and asked if i'll allow him to spend the rest of my life with him. i belived him, and said yes. my friend wasn't very happy about that, but she ended up being supportive. she wanted me to be happy".

"okay, thank you" (y\n) says, sad smile on their face, unsure if this possible lead is a good thing or no. "agent, do you think he was cheating? was my friend right? is that what got him killed?" Winnona askes, but sadly (y\n) dosen't have an answer, so they just say "we'll let you know if we find something".

…

"Garcia is calling" Morgan calls out and Hotch, Prentiss, JJ and (y\n) follow him into the office the BAU took over for their time here. "hey there choclate thounder" Garcia's voice says from the other side of the line. "Baby girl, you are on speaker. Hotch, Prentiss, JJ and (y\l\n) are here with me. did you find any connection between the couples?" Derek says. "hey there you beautiful agents" Garcia said, "i called to let you know there is no overlap in the victimis wedding planning - they looked at different venues, checked out different caterings… even the photographeres they reached out to were different… but i mean, that has to be it, right? i mean, i looked at their socials - they all have privet accounts so i highly doubt that's how the unsub found out about the engagment" Garcia says.

"well, we suspect the unsub could be hunting cheaters, so try to find any hint of cheating in the victims life" (y\n) says. "look at their emails, try to find their profiles on, ugh, dating websites…" JJ says. "Winnona said her fiance worked late but a friend says there is no way he needed to work that many hours" (y\n) adds. "okay, i will get back to you with all the answears, no stone will be ledt unturned. Baby girl out" the beeping of the call being hung up came soon after Garcia's last words.

…

"well, all three bodies had their hearts missing - that you already know, but it seems the cause of death was strangulation, but not manual. I think its some fabric, since they all had fibers under their nails as if they were trying to rip it off them" the ME, dr. Roland, says what she gathered so far. "the mark on the guys is about 3.25 inches, which is the typical width of a tie" Reid says, and Dave looks at him, catching up to Reids idea. "he could be strangeling them with a tie, symbolising the tie they could have been wearing on their wedding day" Dave says, and the ME sqints. "The woman… her mark is… texured, in lack of a different word - could be a vail or a garter" she says, "she also seems to have been dead for at least some of the time he strangeled her". "So he was angrier with her, she was closer to his ideal victim, meaning he was probably hurt by a woman and that's what triggered him to start killing" Dave says.

"dr. Roland, by your judgment, would it take any sergical skills to cut the hearts out the way the unsub did?" Reid asks. "well, the first heart had some cuts on it, meaning the unsub probably cut it while trying to cut it out. the cuts are… well, sonky, so i doubt they were done with actual medical eqipment, it looks like the work of a good quality meat knife. the cuts pn the hearts get fewer and fewer with the other hearts, so i belive he learns from his mistakes" She says. "well, thanks doctor, you helped us a lot" Dave smiles at her, and she blushes.

…

By the time Spencer and Dave made it to the police station, the team was all set up at the office they were assigned. the crime board done, orginised by dates and couples, as well as the note "cheaters?" under the line of photos of the victims. they walk into the room, and Prentiss welcomes them in. "Reid, (y\n), you are on the geographical profile" Hotch says, "prentiss, you and morgan will go interview the first wedding venue, Rossie, you will go with JJ to the second one and i'll go with the chief officer to check out the third one" He orders, "sdresses are waiting at your phones". everyone splits up. "well, the first body was found over here" Dr. Reid starts, grabbing the pen from the desk. well, not exactly the desk, as (y\n) was holding it. "hey!" They called out, But mr. pretty boy didn't mind much.

He marks the spot, "second one here…" he mumbles. (y\n) grabs the pen from him, "and the third one here" They say as they circle the spot. Spencer lets out a half-laught, and if it wasn't for the fact he was slightly rude to them a second ago, (y\n) would have thought it was cute. well, they did, actually. "the victims live here, here, and here" (y\n) mumbles, pointing at the town's map with the pen, but not marking anything. "the victims were'nt taken from their homes tho, so that won't help finding the hunting zone" Spencer sighs, "we should look at where the victims were last seen".

"well, that would be… sean at his job, he should be taking route 45 to get home" (y\n) says, reading from the file as spencer marks it with a different pen. "Fiona was at a lunch with a friend according to Daniel, and her phone pinged at a coffee place around… here" They say, pointing at the map to let spencer know where to leave a green circle. "and James's last text was pinged about 10 minitues from the gym he frequented, right about… here" spencer said. "these are all over the town, and not that close to the dump sites, so the unsub must be mobile. in order to move the bodies he will need a big veichal" (y\n) says, furring their eyebrows at the map.

"what about the wedding venues? they could also be the place the unsub chooses his victims" Spencer says. "we just talked to Garcia, and she said-" (y\n) tries to catch up Reid on the phone call he missed, but right on que there is another incoming call from Penelope Garcia herself. "hey there, Garcia, it's (y'n) and i here" Spencer says. "oh, if it's not my favorite wonder boy and wonder mind" Garcia says. (y\n) was also a genious of sort, but they didn't think they quite compared to Reid, tho with the iq of 130 they were the closest on the team. "Garcia, do you have any updates about the wedding plans or the cheting?" (y\n) asks, and spencer shoots them a slightly confused look, as he didn't get the chance to catch up on the team's idea for a lead.

"well, you know how at first i didn't find a connection between the wedding venues? i looked deeper, so deep i got to the very core, and you know what's in the core? Lave. major, hot lava" Garcia says, "it looks like all of the wedding venues are owned by the same major, greedy company. It's called Marry-go-round, and they own most of the wedding venues in the area. each one is designd to appeal to a different audience - they have gothic ones, hystorical ones, botnical ones… they share employees, meaning one guy might be working at more than one venue…" Garcia says, "and before you ask me to, i am already running searches to see who worked at all 3 the day those couples went".

"you are so great, Garcia, i don't know where we'd be without you" (y\n) says, smiling at the phone. "well, the answear is way behind. goodby lovies, sent the rest of the team my love and warm hugs, i will let you guys know once i have answears regarding to the victims… side-quests" Garcia says, ending the call with a smooch sound of a kiss.

…

Prentiss and Morgan walk into the "garden of eden" venue, that was the one James and Layla looket at. "hello" a woman in a bright red suit welcomed them. "my name is Diane" she said, reaching out her hand to shake the one of the pair infront of her, "it is lovely to have such a beautiful couple here, we actually never had such wedding here, so that would be great to have you two as the first one. "you mean… mixed couples?" Morgan asked, confusion in his voice and slight annoyence. "well-" Diane tries to save herself, but the sentence doesn't get the chance to be fully formed.

"mam, we are not here to plan a wedding, we are here to ask about a couple who did" Prentiss cuts her off, showing her the FBI tag. "well, that's unfortunate. I am sorry, but what does that couple has to do with my wedding venue?" Diane asks. "well, they looked at this… lovely venue, and now one of them is dead and the other one got her beloved boyfriend's heart in the mail" Derek says, sparing no details from the woman who already wasn't on his good side. "well, that's unfortunate, but i still don't see what that has to do with us" Diane stands her ground.

"have you seen anyone suspicius around? someone who looked at couples, trying to study them?" Prentiss asks. "do you think this murderer found them here? well that is impossible, only couples and employees are allowed on the premiss" Diane says. "do you ever have more than one couple looking around? this guy could come here with his own fiance" Derek says, the last part of the sentence directed more to his fellow agent than to the wedding venue annoying manager. "no, and i belive this is where we end this conversation. i have a tour here from an actual couple, so, bye-bye" Diane says, walking around the agents to welcome the couple that just walked in. "hello, my name is Diane, it is lovely to have such a beautiful couple here…"

the agents exchange looks and leave the venue, tho they don't think they are done there just yet.

…

"well, the venue we checked was orginised, they had a security detail at the entrence, even after seeing our badge we were'nt let inside, the manager came out to talk to us" JJ said. "he was a lovely man, once he talked to us for a bit he gave us a tour - i noticed they were fixing a broken part of the fence, but he said that it's usually hidden with flowers, so no one knows of it. he said he'd give us the records of the couples who came there the same day as Daniel and Fiona, meaning we may be able to identify his next victim" Dave said, waving the files in his hand.

"the venue we checked said they have double bookings, sometimes more than one couple is there. sometimes only one half of a couple arrives. we should check and see - mayby there is a couple, or someone who claims to be engaged who was in all three venues the same day as the victims, he could be angry with his fiance, unable to process that, and so he kill people who remind him of her in someway" Hotch says.

"and what about you?" Hotches eyes traveled to the two defided faces of his two agents who just walked in. "well, the manager was a bitch" Prentiss sighed, "she bearly answered our questions, and her whole deminor was just… off" Derek agreed with her. Reid and (y\n) come inside the room, holding 6 cups of coffee in between them both. "oh, you are my savior" Prentiss says as she grabs the coffee (y\n) handed to her.

after the coffee ceremony is done, the wonder due explains their findings regarding the hunting zone and the comfort zone, as well as catching their teamates up to speed regarding the connection between the venues.

just as they finished, the actual savior of the team called. "hello my darlings, it is i, Penelope Garcia, coming to you with a very, very sad news flash. i found some proof of unfaithfulness from all of our victims. It appears Sean was spending way too much time in his office, off the clock. He's work sheet says he finished work by 5pm, but his phone pings at home around 9pm, and before that it pings at many different sketchy motels. not once, not twice, but on a weekly basis. James was also being a bad, very bad boy - his pictures are on many different dating websites, and you may think 'well, it could be someone who is using his photos' but no, the some of the photoes on there are very nasty and very not on any of his socials" Garcias word flow stops as she takes a breath to continue.

"And Fiona… well, she was a little tricky, but i found these very much not PG emails between her and a bad.boy.rm@gmail.com, she used her work email, which is very icky of her, but it sure did keep it a secret". "Garcia, how hard would it be for someone to find out about the cheatings?" Prentiss askes. "well, it took me about two hours, so i belive that someone with the avarage hacking skill could get this information in about three days" Garcia says, slight cockiness in her voice. "well, babygirl, this is very helpful information" Derek says, smiling at the phone, "thank you". "can't wait for my reward" Garcia says, and the call is finished.

"It's likely our unsub was cheated on by a woman, since it looked like he overkilled the female victim, and it is possible they were engaged when he found out, that's why he attacks couples who are planning a wedding. He feels the need to punish cheaters" Reid says, looking at his team. "well, that has to narrow down the unsub pool" Dave says. "well, about 12% of married women admit that they have cheated on their spouse, and 20% of engagments end up being broken off, and 50% of those are due to financial stress. This town has roughly 7,639 people-" Spencer starts calculating, trying to figure out exactly how big is the suspect pool. "Kid, please. let's just have Garcia look it up" Dave cuts him off. "it's about 20 potentiol unsubs" Spencer mumbled under his breath, but his teamates don't react. "maybe his mom or dad were also cheaters, that could be the stressor and his partner doing the same thing to him would make one hell of a trigger" Prentiss says.

"well, i think it's time for the profile" Hotch says.

…

JJ, Hotch, Morgan and Prentiss are standing infront of the cameras. "we belive this unsub is a white male in his 20s, he recently expirienced a heartbreak over a cheating partner, possibly a fiance" Hotch says. "He has a high level technical knowlage, as it appears he took a deep dive into the victims life, finding out intimate details about their sex lives" JJ says, trying to not say the straight up truth of the cheatings he uncovered. "tho he has no prior medical skills, he appears to be learning how to perform his ritual with more accuracy" Prentiss says, "therefor we belive he is smart and possibly works at something that requires a similar set of skills as a surgen". "this unsub is sending the victims fiances the hearts he carved out, which shows signs of pshcopathic tendecies. this guy is probably cold, manipulative, and yet has a charm to him not many people see through" Dave continues. "we belive he may have had a parent who cheated on their spouse, making the cheating he expirienced triggering" JJ says. "if you know anyone who can fit this description, we encourege you to talk to us" Hotch says, and the cameras cut.

…

"Garcia and i just talked, she says there is one employee who was in all wedding venues the same day as our victims, but she dosen't fit the profile. happily married, 2 kids, grew up in a loving family" Derek says as he joins his team in the office, highlighting the word "she". "well, maybe the unsub wasn't on the clock, they could have some employees that get paid under the table" Prentiss says. "we profiled the unsub to be white, so it is less likely he is not listed" Reid says. "well, i guess we can't be sure, since he crosses race lines. the main reason we think he's white is because this town has so few pocs, and most of them arent able to afford the type pf education this unsub has" (y\n) says, spinning her chair as she thinks. A knock on the door makes the team look over. "they just found another body" officer Williams says. "let's go" JJ says, following the officer and the rest of the team follows her.

top 9 books

tagged by @gayarthur

(not in any order)

1. in memoriam by alice winn

as soon as i started reading this book i knew i wanted to reread with a pen. queer book set during ww1

2. blue lily, lily blue by maggie stiefvater

this book (and trc in general) had me in a chokehold when i read it in high school, not plot just vibes, the levels of mutual pining had me going insane

3. if we were villains by m l rio

i started this intending to only read about half go to bed and then finish it the next day because i’d already read one book that day and i finished it that night. another book i need to revisit with a pen. it has it all: murder, shakespeare

4. a man called ove by fredrik backman

this book is translated from swedish. the last book i read last year and the end had me sobbing. grumpy old man (who reminded me of my granddad) developing meaningful connections with his neighbours

5. the hunger games by suzanne collins

it feels like such a basic answer but this was one of the first books i ever sat down and read in one day. i borrowed it from the school library that morning and started it when our teacher gave us “free time” during our social science class and finished it at 1am. also when i was first on tumblr i was a hunger games blog (not this tumblr but my old one rip)

6. the poppy war trilogy by r f kuang (i know i cheated by including the entire trilogy but i don't care)

just this entire trilogy is so good (definitely check trigger warnings before reading though). i was originally intrigued by this series because it was described as “what if azula was the avatar” but it is so much more than that. explores the effects of war and colonialism

7. weather girl by rachel lynn solomon

one of my favourite romance books, two people who work for the same news channel work together to gets their divorced bosses back together (i just really love this trope, see: one of my favourite romcoms is set it up). touches on mental health issues.

8. six of crows by leigh bardugo

another super basic answer but i also hate that this book is considered a "booktok book" when it was originally a "tumblr book" but i loved all the crows (and also the pining between kaz and inej). just ✨fantasy heist✨

9. vicious by v e schwab

i have always been a big reader but this book got me seriously back into reading after i graduated uni and started working full time. the relationship between victor and eli is just so good and toxic and fascinating. i just love the way v e schwab writes

special mention to summer sons by lee mandelo because it was so so so good

and also the bumper book of peanuts comics because i love flicking through it when i need a pick me up

this list was genuinely so hard for me because i read so many books and then forget about them except for the feeling it left me

it also started with me trying to give short descriptions as to why i liked the books and ended in word vomit

also going to plug my storygraph (and if you see i'm 50 books behind on my goal no you didn't)

Sending the rare pair I rotate when I wanna think about Mess: Keiko/Garak

LOL okay, this one is complicated- I both ship it, and don't ship it? So what I shall do is answer all six questions😂

What made you ship it?

Let's be honest. Keiko gets a really bad deal on DS9. Like, she was THE senior civilian botanist on the flagship of the Federation and now she's stuck in the middle of nowhere, separated from all her old friends and colleagues- and growing a few plants. Not to mention, experiencing weekly traumas via proximity to the unluckiest man in the quadrant (aka, her husband). I think it's pretty explicit in canon that Keiko never wanted to move to DS9 in the first place, so in a sense- it's almost like she's... in exile. (wink, wink.)

Now, with all the complaining Garak does about his professional fall from grace, his once-respected skillset being wasted on menial, mundane work- "I used to be at the top of my field, now look at me, I'm sewing dresses!"- it's not hard to imagine him seeing a kindred spirit in Keiko. He's a very good tailor. She's a very good teacher. So good, it makes them both want to barf... or, meet up for dinner once a week in the arboretum to commiserate (and maybe have some shameful yet unexpectedly satisfying sex about it lol)

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Like you said, the Mess! It's a lot of fun to think about- I don't necessarily want it to happen, but if it did happen it would be fascinating and kind of funny, you know? It's interesting from a character study perspective- you get to explore some of the uglier sides (especially if you're gonna think about this happening in the context of getting back at Miles, maybe even Julian).

[Gonna preface this next section with the disclaimer that I adore Keiko, Miles and Garak, and none of this is character hate!!!]

So, here's the thing- I struggle to see Keiko going for Garak unless there's some element of petty revenge involved. Maybe it's the early seasons, and she's pissed off at Miles for bringing her here, pissed off at the station's Bajoran population for siding against her when Winn bombed the school, just generally feeling very frustrated and undervalued and unwanted and invisible, and it's like- yeah, what if I just stopped being the Wholesome Starfleet Wife for a second, you know? What if I went and slept with the Cardassian spy?? (Even if you want to interpret the O'Briens as having an open marriage and this not counting as cheating, Garak is still certainly... A Choice lol). Or, maybe it's the later seasons, and now it's more- what, Miles can keep putting his Starfleet career ahead of the family, risking his life, and I can't even go to the Cliffs of Undalar for work? And he's just gonna spend all his free time in the holosuites with Julian and leave me with the kids 26/7? (Whether or not Garak/Bashir are together here is flexible, though it's funny to imagine a Garak who has now decided to hold back so as to not risk their too-important friendship, and he's sooo irritated with himself for having A Sentiment and also insanely jealous of how much time Miles gets with Julian). For maximum toxic fun you can imagine Miles & Julian accidentally get drunk and hook up (and it IS cheating) so now Keiko gets with Garak as revenge!

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Hmm... I guess, any Garak/woman ship would inherently be an unpopular opinion to those who view him as exclusively into men? But imo even if we are reading him as such (and that's definitely a valid read haha), there's still the fact that he would absolutely date a woman just to be petty. Like, let's not forget the one and only time he ever looked at Ziyal with anything resembling romantic interest was when they linked hands in front of Dukat- his whole vibe changed there, like he really did that just to piss Dukat off! Garak is all about theatre and unpredictability and poking people just to get reactions out of them lol, I can definitely see him pulling out all the stops to make himself and Keiko the most fabulous femme 4 femme couple on the station. Like not only would he date her, he would date her very publicly- he would aggressively channel ALL that courtly old-fashioned charm and lay it on really thick. He would offer her his handkerchief. He would pull out her chair. He would make her the most gorgeous dresses. He would treat her to fancy dinners on all the promenade restaurants and grow her extremely rare flowers in the arboretum. He would learn her preferences in bed. He would literally go out of his way to make Miles O'Brien look So Bad😂😂

Why don't you ship it?

Honestly, the problem is just me- I am but a soft-hearted loser who just wants for Keiko O'Brien to be happy lmaooo

Like obviously I do enjoy reading/writing stories where my blorbos are awful, but fundamentally I love seeing them healing and growing and making each other better, sadly. And while Garak is inarguably changed for the better after getting exiled to DS9, Keiko is unfortunately someone I can see becoming worse as a result of the show's events- and I just don't like thinking about it becauseee ahhh it makes me saddddd!!!

What would have made you like it?

Tough to answer since I do like it- thankfully it's not canon, so I can just have fun thinking about the toxic mess of it all without having to write it or keep guiltily glancing at poor lil Molly O'Brien like "baby girl I am so sorry I did this to your parents' marriage😭😭"

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

It's intriguing, it's fun, it centres Keiko in a way that the show (and indeed fan content) rarely ever does- and I guess it doesn't have to be ALL dark! Like I can imagine it originally starting that way, with Garak and Keiko treating each other so well just to spite Miles/Julian- but then it unexpectedly turns into a genuine friendship where they prioritise each other in ways they've never been prioritised (or allowed themselves to be prioritised) before, and they actually end up making more sense of their own desires as a result? There's that one episode where Keiko goes to the trouble of making zabu stew for Rugal... I can just imagine her making some Cardassian food or the other for Garak and him being kinda 🥺 about it. Who knows, maybe they'll all have a laugh about this around the O'Briens' (or the Garak/Bashir) dinner table someday! God I'm boring

[jigjagflist]

Please

It's still agony. Several times a day I'm interrupted by default thoughts of how you stalked me. It instantly brings me to a dark place. Everyday. The most common memory is the blonde girl that followed me outside of Subway and asked me about The Cavern and then ran away -- the same girl that stalked me at Winn Dixie and Montego's. And I think I saw her when you stalked me at Cathedral Square like you did at Pizza Hut, and I think another time was at Leo's. Yeah" yall stalked me all the way to Ocean Springs. Sickos.

What did I do to you? I'm tormented everyday. You have no idea what it's like. I can't live a normal life. I haven't had sex in 2 years, and of course it was with a girl that cheated within 2 weeks of being with me. I'm not sexually active. I've literally identified as Ace. I wish I was gay, but I can't "choose" that like yall can. I know I'm a good person and can be a good boyfriend/husband. I have my faults just like everybody.

On my off days I'm so alone, which is why I've always worked so much. Shitty jobs are the best part of my life. They give me pride, acceptance, financial peace, friendship, adoration, things I never found from slaving back-of-house in Mobile and definitely not from dating.

Please call me and let me get over this. It hurts so much. Do you ever feel the pain in your left arm from depression? I looked it up and it's actually caused by your heart pumping irregularly when your brain is too sad, simply put.

I'm going to find you btw. But you can put me at ease by just explaining why I was the subject of your social torture years ago when I was just a suicidal lost boy. I'm literally begging. I'll do anything. fucking. help. me.

It was, in fact, the best move of the available choices and it demonstrated that this BG program is a true neural net (artificial intelligence) based application. In one game, NJ hit twice in it's inner board leaving two exposed blots - a play most novices would consider foolish.

Top backgammon hd professional#

Snowie professional is a $350 program and Backgammon NJ plays just below it. At expert it is probably around a 1950 Snowie rating. I am certainly an expert and arguably just under World Class. My highest Snowie rating was 1982, currently my rating is 1946 (it fluctuates up and down within 30 or so points). I came in 2nd in consolation in the 1979 World championships in Monte Carlo. I identify myself since some claim the positive reviews are from employees or shills of this company. I do not work for this company and I do not know the programmer. I am a physician, real name David Winn, and have been playing backgammon since 1975. "The people who rate this app 1 star are very weak BG players. Richard Munitz, Giant of Backgammon, #21 world ranking in 2009 Stop complaining about the dice and learn and improve and like magic, you'll start getting "lucky" too." So the app can be beat in the long run - if you play very well. As an evaluation I played 20 7- point matches on Expert totaling over 100 games. This app is the strongest iPhone bg app I've played with by far. As a World Class level player I expect to win the majority of matches against this app but this is yet another example of the extreme volatility of dice that people don't seem to understand.įirst review: I am a Giant of Backgammon and know strong bg play when I see it. Since updating to v1.4 I have played 44 7-point matches at the strongest level and have won 30 of them. This app is not quite at that level but is still very strong. Anyone who really has a clue knows that the worlds strongest players are computer programs and learn from them. People have made these claims about every Neural Net based backgammon program created for the past 15 years. Second review: I just can't help but shake my head at all of the reviews that claim cheating. So would 99.9% of the other backgammon players in the world. Analyzing these matches with eXtreme Gammon confirms a world class level of play with normal luck factors. A cheating program would not be tricked by my strong play if it knew the dice that were coming and used that info to its advantage. As one of the world's top players, I am able to beat this program over the long run on Expert more often than I lose. "Third review: My evidence that it is not cheating is simple. Phil Simborg, Professional Backgammon Teacher and Player, I recommend it highly to my students and friends."

"If the words would work" prompt: Cisco, while trying to figure out his powers, accidentally vibes someone elsewhere in the multiverse, and makes a friend or two.

I really like the Idea of Cisco, trying to get his powers to behave, becoming someone's not so imaginary friend. I might tell it from that person's point of view at first, too, and there are just... so many options. like maybe Winn from supergirl (eternally cheated that their only interaction was when they each got like. a single line in the musical episode. they deserved a whole song each. but I digress) or could be fun to let him talk with, say, Pat Dugan from Stargirl. maybe we go full au and have him chatting with someone in another fictional world all together--fuck it, the Voice in Anakin's head says " maybe don't trust that dude. he's super shady." or he befriends one of the Big Hero Six folks--the older ones are in college and Cisco's at best 24 in season 2 so it's not that weird---and well, shit, now I have Cisco and Tadashi being friends and Cisco wants to code a Baymax for caitlin or something and then the fire happens and that's when cisco gets his portals really working because he's not going to listen to another friend die in flames and Shit dammit anon now I want this fic.

There Is No Such Thing As Hope

Sad Villain Lena x Villain Reader 

Warnings: Sad dark thoughts 

Another storm has come pouring down on National City. It’s been three days since it started and the city was starting to look like Gotham. It didn’t matter to you though. You hardly go out since you’re always stuck in the lab. You’re one of the greatest scientists working for L-Corp. . . For Lena Luthor. 

Whenever your boss assigns you a difficult task, you always dominate it with pride. You never brag about it though. Never really expose yourself for being talented. You are making these devices that help humans and aliens. For Lena, she admires the way you work under pressure. You always seem to impress her with everything you accomplish or how much you contribute during weekly meetings with her and all the heads of each department. 

Little did you know that Lena has developed a small crush for you besides having one for her best friend, Kara. After working in L-Corp for about 4 years now, you seem to have a crush on your boss. You always thought it was wrong to develop a silly crush on your boss plus you know that Lena would never view you that. One day You almost gave in to your temptation. The day where your boss gave you flirty looks and warm smiles when you presented your completed project to the board. 

You planned to ask Lena out after that board meeting but stopped when a certain blonde reporter took her away from you. Kara Danvers, the ace puppy reporter, always visiting L-Corp to hang out with Lena. You would see a glimmer of happiness within Lena’s eyes whenever Kara visits. You simply walked away and boxed up your feelings for the CEO. 

9:35 PM 

You know for a fact that you have been overworking yourself in the lab. You look at the ruined device in front of you, frustrated at how you can’t fix it. “Why does Lena need a teleporter and does it have to fit into a watch?” You said to yourself. Although you don’t know the exact reading why, you still made a deal to get the job done. 

For two days now, Lena hasn’t come down to the labs to do her round checks. She would usually do it during the afternoon but if she’s busy, she’ll come around during the night, knowing you’ll still be in the lab. She’ll directly ask you how everyone is doing. 

You sighed and threw one of the tools across the table. Since it was getting late and you weren’t getting close to a breakthrough, you pack up your belongings. You gather all the completed charts and data and make your way to your boss’ floor. 

Once you reached the CEO’s floor, you made a mental plan to just leave it on her assistant’s desk and leave for the night. After placing the files on the desk, you head straight back to the elevator but a low frequency of someone crying can be heard across the empty floor. You stood there for a few seconds and listened carefully to find where the sound was coming from. 

You carefully walked towards the sound and realized it was coming from Lena’s office. The door was slightly cracked open. You peak inside and see that the raven haired is sitting on the floor, crying and nursing a bottle of scotch. You come up with two scenarios if you should leave the woman be or go inside and help her. 

You chose to help. You quietly walk inside and carefully approach the sadden woman without scaring her. 

“Miss Luthor? Are you alright?” You calmly call out. 

She immediately looked up and tried to wipe all her tears away with her sleeves. It was no use. You can easily see her red eyes and nose that she’s been crying for a while. Your boss tempts to stand up and look normal but she felt dizzy with the sudden rush. You hurried your way to her and helped her to sit on the white couch. 

You walked over to the small table of drinks and grabbed a glass of water for her. The CEO thankfully takes the glass from your hand and took in sips to wash the bitter liquid in her mouth. 

“How many times do I have to remind you to call me Lena?” Your boss tells you with a bitter smile on her face. 

You shrug your shoulders and suck in your lips. You say done next to her, “what’s wrong, Lena?” 

“Have you ever felt betrayed? Lied to? For years? Thinking they’re protecting you but really it was just hurting you? They thought that hiding the truth was more important than revealing it.” 

“Yes.” You said without hesitation. 

Lena looks at you, not believing your answer. 

You continued, “I’ve been lied to multiple times. My own parents were never supportive of me. They controlled half of my life with lies and belittled me. My former friends betrayed me. Ha. Even my past lovers cheated, lied, and betrayed me. So yes. I do know how you feel.” 

You tried your best to not let it show how much it affected you. You shouldn’t care anymore since you’re in a better position now. Lena saw the hurt in your eyes, the same pained eyes just like when her own family abuses her. 

“My own friends lied to me. For 4 years. Lied to me who they really are. They said they were just protecting me but they made me feel stupid. Alex, James, Kelly, J’onn. Gosh even Winn! My brother, Lex. He told me who Supergirl is. The woman who I thought would never lie to me. Who would always be there for me. That same person who said that my last name doesn’t correspond to who I am. I’m such a fool.” 

You lean in closer to her, to hold her because she was starting to form tears again. You don’t like seeing her be this vulnerable and weak. This isn’t the confident woman you see everyday. She’s a damn Luthor. She has to be the strongest and smartest woman on Earth. She doesn’t deserve this pain. 

“Lena. . . Who’s Supergirl?” 

She lets out a sour laugh and looks at you deeply into your eyes, “Kara Danvers is Supergirl.” 

In your mind, you can’t believe that the human golden retriever is Supergirl. The woman looking like sunshine and kisses is the woman of steel. It makes sense, her friends are not normal as well. They all must work for the government. You can’t believe that her friends played her like a fool. They trusted her but not enough to let her know everything. Lena must be feeling all alone and broken. 

You held up her chin, to force her to make eye contact with you, “Lena. . .” 

“Yes?” She whispers, trying hard to not get lost into your eyes or focus on your lips. She honestly wants to feel anything but betrayal and she was considering to have sad angry sex with you. She doesn’t give a damn that you’re her employee. 

“How do you feel about taking down the symbol of hope from Supergirl? To take control of this world. Free people from betrayal and get rid of injustice within the communities. I can see your leadership striving in this world. I can help you. We can make robots that connect to your A.I  to gain control and set up a non-biased  authority. A better world. A much cleaner and clearer future for generations to come?” 

Lena stares back at you with her red puffy eyes. The room is quiet but you can hear her mind working and the cars moving from down below. Lena doesn’t need to sleep on the idea or have second thoughts. There’s no doubt. Lena knows she’s a genius and she visualizes this plan working out. You may look like a villain to some but she wants to help people from hurting others. 

The CEO tangles her hands with yours, “Darling. . . I’m willing to make this idea come true only if you're fully in it.” 

“I’ll be there every step of the way. Just say the word.”

Emma watches the world pass by as the car heads towards Lena’s apartment. She feels Lena rubbing her thumb along her finger, a comforting motion that helps soothe her emotions. Butterflies are fluttering around her stomach with the realisation she is finally free from the DEO, that the nightmare of the past few weeks were over and the excitement of moving in with the love of her life. But Emma is also ignoring the slight flicker of anxiety within her. Completely overlooking the reasons why she is moving into Lena’s apartment and not back into her own.

To her, she was going home.

A chuckle makes Emma turn to look at her girlfriend. Tilting her altered face in question to the noise she made.

“I was just thinking about how it’s good the windows are tinted. Wouldn’t want the press or public to think I was cheating on you.”

A deep rumble emits from Emma’s chest as she voicelessly laughs with Lena, but soon her brows knit together in thought.

“We are going to need to be careful about that aren’t we?”

“Unfortunately yes.” Lena gently places a hand on Emma’s upper thigh. “If we go out together there will have to be no PDA.”  Lena can’t help but marvel at the work Brainy and Winn put into the face modifier. Suddenly an adorable pout, so very Emma, appears on the altered face and the corner of Lena’s right lip lifts up. “But it does kind of help that you have someone else's face projected right now.”

Emma’s right eye squints slightly as she thinks about her answer.

“So if we kissed while I have this on, would that still feel like cheating to you?”

Lena closes her mouth as she now ponders her answer. Still analysing the detail of the altered face beside her.

“I mean, I know it’s you but-” A sly smile creeps across her face. “-I think we may need to test the theory.”

Altered bright green eyes search Lena’s own and Emma smirks, slowly she leans forward and tilts her head. The raven haired beauty meets her half way and their lips press softly together. Lena smiles and immediately deepens the kiss, running her tongue against Emma’s lips which the blonde instantly opens.

A deep breath, like a voiceless moan, emits from within Emma. She reaches up and runs her fingers tenderly over Lena’s face and into her hair. Lena’s hands find Emma’s toned thighs and ass as their tongues explore each other.

But all too soon the car pulls into the underground garage and stops by the elevators.

The noise of the driver opening his door to load Emma's possessions onto a cart, alerts the pair as they quickly pull apart. Lena chortles at the smudged lipstick all over the lower part of Emma’s altered face.

“Gonna need to clean that up.” Lena grabs her phone and takes a picture to show her girlfriend who lets out quick successions of breaths as she voicelessly laughs. “Here.” Lena hands the blonde a tissue and wipes her own face. Once satisfied that the smudged lipstick is gone, Lena puts her hand on the car door. But Emma taps her arm, stopping her, causing Lena to turn back to her girlfriend.

“So?” Emma signs

“So what?”

“What was your conclusion?”

“Well, my conclusion was-” Lena places her hand in Emma’s and squeezes it. “-I can still tell it’s you.” Lena lightly kisses Emma’s lips before getting out of the car and heading to her driver waiting by the elevator with the cart. “Thank you.” She smiles gratefully to him. “I don’t think we’ll be needing you again today, but please be ready just in case?” She holds out her hand with a generous tip for him.

“Of course Ms Luthor.” The driver respectfully nods his hat and takes the fresh notes. “Do you need a hand getting this upstairs?”

“Thank you but I think we’ll be alright.” Lena smiles at him.

“Very good Ms Luthor.” The driver nods again and leaves.

The CEO turns towards her girlfriend and is momentarily filled with anger. “Emma!” Lena yells as she sees Emma about to push the cart. Immediately Emma lifts her hands up in surrender with a questioning expression on her face. “Don’t you remember what Doctor Hamilton said?”

“Yes, but I’m fine. You can attest to that, right?” Emma knowingly smirks at her girlfriend, her smile widens as Lena’s cheeks colour a lovely shade of pink and she bites the corner of her lip. “Shall we go inside?”

Lena quickly nods and summons the elevator to head up to the penthouse apartment. Excitement fills Lena and she beams as they approach their front door.

Reaching into her bag she pulls out a key with a 1980’s She-Ra key ring figure on. Turning to face Emma she holds it out for the blonde to take. “Welcome home.”

Emma’s eyes lower to the key in Lena’s hands and her face scrunches up with emotion. Having recognised it as Lena’s key from Emma’s apartment. Emma steps around the cart and hugs Lena tight.

The raven haired beauty holds Emma close and rubs her back. “Love? Shall we go inside?”

Emma pulls back and nods, taking the key and unlocking the door before rushing to push the cart. Not wanting Lena to hurt herself, especially in her high stilettos. They enter the apartment and Emma takes a deep breath in. She smiles at the many vases of bouquets around the room. Turning to her girlfriend she lifts her hands to sign.

“Thank you, they are lovely.”

“Not as lovely as you.” Lena returns her smile and removes her bag and coat. “Speaking of.” Lena reaches up and taps her finger gently against Emma’s right temple. The face flickers, morphing Emma’s and the other face until finally revealing Emma’s. “That’s better.” Lena quickly kisses Emma’s lips before turning back to the cart to start unloading it. Emma swiftly moves to her side and helps. “So your essentials were packed like you asked and are in my- our room.”

Emma smiles brightly at Lena as she follows her girlfriend into their room.

“I’ve also made space in my wardrobe-”

Emma raises her eyebrows and gapes in mock surprise.

“-you arse.” Lena laughs and playfully pushes the blonde, who barely sways.

“What about the counter space in the bathroom?”

Lena scoffs heavily and rolls her eyes. “I’m not that bad!”

Emma widens her eyes and juts her lips forward in disagreement.

Lena rolls her eyes again and starts helping Emma unpack. Grateful that the DEO allowed a few of their agents to do the job as even Lena struggled with the thought of entering Emma’s apartment at the moment.

-- -- --

Finally the last box had been emptied and broken up. Emma was quite pleased her things easily fit into Lena’s apartment and didn’t take up too much space. Currently she was laying out her shoes, making sure they were in order of colour and in height.

“Love?” Lena stands by the entrance of the walk in wardrobe with her phone in her hands. Both had changed into comfortable clothing.

Lena was wearing black leggings with Emma’s Mass Effect N7 hoodie and a white t-shirt underneath. Her hair was in an up down style to keep her hair out of her face as she helped Emma unpack.

Emma had changed into a white tank top and the DEO hoodie she has been wearing the past few weeks. She was also wearing a pair of her black three quarter lengths that were surprisingly tight around her calf muscles. So she pulled them up to her knee.

Emma quickly looks up at her girlfriend byt the walk in wardrobe entrance. “I just need to send a few emails but it shouldn’t take too long. Is that okay?”

Emma nods and starts to sign. “Want me to come save you if you are longer than an hour?”

“Always my hero.” Lena grins and turns to go into her home office.

Emma smiles and stands up. Making sure everything was tidy and in place before she leaves to go into the lounge area of the apartment.

Sitting on the sofa Emma grabs her guitar case and pulls out the instrument. After making sure it’s in tune the blonde sits back and starts strumming. Getting lost in the music.

-- -- --

Half an hour later and Lena is satisfied everything was in order. She shuts down her computer and makes her way out of her home office.

Immediately she hears the captivating sounds of Emma’s guitar and immediately goes to investigate. Finding Emma on the sofa, Lena watches the blonde play, getting transfixed by the movement of her fingers and passion shining out from her.

Wanting to be nearer to her girlfriend, Lena quietly makes her way over and sits on the sofa. She examines Emma’s face as the song progresses, her expression changing to one of sadness and longing.

Eventually she finishes the song. Leaving the echo of the chords to fade into the silence of the apartment.

“Love?” Lena tilts her head at the sorrow etched in Emma’s face. The blonde slowly looks over at her and places her guitar on the coffee table. Turning towards the raven haired beauty, Lena’s breath hitches at the mournful look in Emma’s eyes. Something she hasn’t seen a lot in the years she’s known her.

“I’ve written you a song and I would do anything to sing it to you now.”

“And you will.” Lena slides over to her girlfriend and places a hand on her thigh.

“I know, I just miss singing so much, even just talking. I miss voicing my opinions, my love for you.” Emma swallows again and pauses. “Can I show you the lyrics? Or would you rather wait?”

“I’d love to read it.” Emma quickly gets to her feet to get the notebook that is bursting with other pieces of paper. Lena watches the blonde nervously zip back to the sofa and she swallows.

Lena has always loved being involved in the process of Emma’s songwriting. Many times in the past when the pair were just friends, Lena’s phone would ring and there’d be a video call from Emma sat in front of a piano or guitar, her mane of wavy hair tied up and she’d ask which chords or lyrics sounded better.

And now?

Things had changed.

Drastically.

Like Emma, Lena would give anything to hear Emma’s voice, to hear her laugh, her moan of pleasure, her singing passionately in the shower or soft words of love while they cuddled.

But the pair have had to learn new ways of communicating. Lena is grateful they both know how to sign language as it made their conversations a lot easier then the silence of Emma taking the time to write.

Lena had also noticed how Emma had got much more tactile. Always wanting to hold her hand or being able to touch a part of Lena. Like pressing her knee or thigh against Lena. Which she didn’t mind at all.

The raven haired beauty is brought out of her musings as Emma slowly hands her the notebook. Lena looks down at the page and notices the lack of crossings out and word changes that normally litters Emma’s work.

Heart beats fast

Colours and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

Lena’s heart melts at the words. The song continues with the chorus again and when Lena reads the bridge she starts sniffing and she has to blink a few times as her eyes fill with tears.

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Emma breathes a steady, light flow of air as she watches Lena’s reaction. When her girlfriend starts sniffing and tears start falling down her cheeks, Emma worries she has upset her.

Finally Lena lifts her head and wipes her eyes with the back of her hands. “Emma, Love, that was-” She runs a hand through her hair, trying to find the words to describe how she’s feeling and stares at the opposite wall. She sees Emma shift uncomfortably in her peripheral vision. Turning her head, Lena is greeted by a worried looking Emma.

“Love?” Lena sits up straighter in concern. “What’s wrong?’

“You're crying. Did I upset you?”

“Because your words touched me.” Lena says, trying to reassure Emma. “As I was reading I kept picturing-”

But Lena stops herself from completing her sentence. Her tongue presses against the roof of her mouth. Emma tilts her head, her expression morphing into one of confusion, wanting Lena to continue.

But Lena stares back like a deer in headlights.

“Lee?” Emma signs and watches the battle within Lena’s eyes.

“No, it's silly.” Lena says quickly, her Irish tone breaking out and she stares back down at the page. “I love the bridge and safe to presume the song is about me?”

The raven haired beauty keeps her head down until a hand tenderly reaches under her chin and gently lifts it. Their eyes connect again and Lena could cry with the love projecting out of Emma’s.

“Please tell me?”

Lena bites the inside of her lip. “I-erm-” She takes a deep breath in to calm her nerves. “I imagined you walking down the aisle and-”

Lena falters as a huge smile spreads across Emma’s face and she lets out a breath that Lena relates to Emma laughing.

But before she can feel offended Emma starts signing.

“That’s what I imagined when I was writing it.”

“You- you would want to marry me?” Lena whispers out, her eyes widening slightly. Even after her chat with Sam in the car a few weeks ago, she never imagined Emma would want to take this step with her.

“Of course I would. I’d love to be Mrs Luthor-”

Lena's eyes widen further in shock as she watches Emma’s hands. “What?!” She splutters after Emma signs her surname and Emma pauses her hands, tilting her head in confusion. “Em, you wouldn’t want my last name. It’s cursed. It’s tainted. It’s vile. It’s-”

Now it's Emma’s turn to interrupt Lena’s rant by cupping her face and lightly pressing their foreheads together. In that simple action Lena’s emotions calm slightly and she takes a few deep breaths. Allowing Emma’s expression of love to drown out the negative voices howling in her mind.

Finally Emma pulls back and tenderly rubs her thumbs against Lena’s jaw. Trying to soothe her further.

Emma slowly removes her hands and starts signing. “Your name doesn’t define you and yes, though your family have done some questionable things, you have changed the Luthor name to mean something more than their actions. Of hope and compassion. That anything is possible.”

Lena’s face scrunches up with emotion. Something Lillian would have scolded her for. ‘Hide your pitiful expression at once! Luthors do not show any emotion! How many times must I tell you!’

But with Emma Lena has no walls. She hadn’t realised Emma had been slowly chipping away at them and made her feel safe, to allow her emotions out.

Compassionate eyes gaze lovingly back at her and Lena feels whole. Home.

“Thank you.”

“You're welcome. And if you are still unsure about your name we could always double barrel them.” Emma grins as Lena visibly starts to relax again.

“Danvers-Luthor? Luthor-Danvers?” Lena says, feeling the words on her tongue. “Orrrr just Danvers. Lena Danvers.” Lena beams at her girlfriend. The prospect of the future with Emma fills her with excitement and longing. Almost becoming like a giddy child on Christmas day.

That is until Emma’s eyes focus down at her notebook and lets out a deep breath.

“Love?”

“I want to sing this to you so bad.” Emma signs without looking up.

“One day you will.” Lena says determined and squeezes Emma’s knee. She can’t imagine never hearing Emma's voice again.

“What if the surgery doesn’t work?”

Lena’s heart breaks with how unsure Emma looks. If she could she would trade with Emma in an instant.

“Well, if it doesn’t work then-” Lena quickly thinks of what to say, wanting to say the right thing. “-you’ll have another surgery and even before that I will design something that will either help in the surgery or project your voice at whatever capacity it comes out at-”

Emma watches as Lena’s eyes light up with passion at the ideas filling her mind. Despite how she feels Emma smiles softly at her.

Lena notices and stops her rambling of different ideas. She reaches out and holds Emma’s hand to reassure her. “What I am trying to say is.” Lena takes a deep breath. “We will figure it out together. Whatever happens.”

“Promise?” Emma smiles and holds out her pinky finger, making Lena chuckle. Knowing the Danvers sisters make pinky promises all the time on meaningful things.

Lena holds up her own pinky finger and wraps it around Emma’s. “I promise.”

Emma nods and Lena pulls her into a hug and sighs deeply. Her heart breaks at the subtle pain in the bonde’s hazel green eyes. Not being able to imagine what she must be going through. But she’s home now and Lena will fight with her.

She feels Emma play with her hair, twirling it between her fingers. Eventually Emma pulls away.

“Sorry.”

“Love, please stop apologising.”

Emma starts to sign sorry again but Lena grabs her hands, stopping her. “No.”

Emma raises an eyebrow and starts to mouth the word instead.

“Stop.” Lena orders while placing a finger over Emma’s lips.

The blonde stares at her, a glint of mischief in her eyes before playfully opening her mouth and sucking on Lena’s finger.

“Em-ma!” Lena squeals, seemingly outraged by Emma’s actions but she can’t help the flood of desire within her.

Right on cue, Emma’s stomach rumbles. ‘Pussyblocker.’ She thinks with an eye roll.

Lena quickly stands and heads to the kitchen, opening the cupboards and fridge to see the contents inside. “What would you like to eat? I asked the housekeeper to restock everything so I can make whatever you would like.” Lena looks back at the blonde still sitting on the sofa. “Em?”

Emma slowly rises to her feet and dawdles over to the island. Lena stands on the other side and waits while Emma taps her fingers on the glass surface as she thinks.

“Crêpes?”

“Sure!” Lena starts pulling out the ingredients she needs. Emma walks around the island to help. “Nah uh! Sit down.” Lena orders and Emma clicks her tongue in annoyance, making Lena freeze. “Did you click your tongue at me?”

Emma crosses her arms and leans on her leg, raising an eyebrow in a challenge.

“Oh you are on a dangerous line Danvers.” Lena teases as she opens the tin of flour. She looks at Emma’s hands as she signs.

“And what would you do if I crossed it?”

Lena’s breathing becomes shallow at the images that fill her mind.

While she is distracted Emma approaches and quickly reaches into the tin, dipping two fingers into the flour and plops a thin layer of it on Lena’s nose.

“Emma! You did not just-” Lena is interrupted as Emma runs her fingers around her face, like she was applying war paint and smirks. “Oh it's on.” Lena grabs a pinch of flour and flicks it at Emma. Covering the blonde’s face and t-shirt.

Emma tilts her head and narrows her eyes as they stare heatedly at each other.

Suddenly they both reach into the tin and start throwing flour at each other. Lena laughs and squeals as Emma starts chasing her around and around the island with her flour covered hands.

There's a slight pause as they stop at either end.

Lena's chest rises and falls heavily as she regains her breath. Flour is all over the island, floor and caking their hair.

Eventually Lena goes to the right and Emma copies her, halting her movement. The raven haired beauty changes her mind and shifts to the left but Emma mirrors her again, smiling widely at her.

“What now darling?”

“Admit your defeat and surrender.” Emma signs with her flour covered hands and a smirk on her face.

“Never!” Lena yells dramatically and goes to run towards the sofas to create more space and distance between them. But she gasps loudly as Emma grabs her hips and spins her around. Pinning her against the island.

Their lips connect in a fierce kiss and Lena lets out a muffled squeal as Emma lifts her up onto the counter.

She wraps her arms and legs around Emma, pinning the blonde against her and they both deepen the kiss, opening their mouths as their tongues fight for dominance. Their hands caress and massage each other, running through each other’s hair and their hands keep roaming.

They break apart and stare into each other's eyes as they catch their breath.

“One tap yes. Two taps no. Three taps asking if I’m alright?” Lena gasps out as she moves her hips against Emma’s firm abs.

Emma taps once and dives into Lena’s neck, sucking onto an area she knows makes her girlfriend quiver. Lena moans deeply as Emma taps her three times.

“Yes! Keep going! Fuck.” Lena whines out as she runs her hands down Emma’s back and squeezes the blonde’s toned ass. She feels Emma taps her once, verbalising her approval.

“You like that huh?” Lena breathes out heavily and Emma taps in response. “You like me squeezing your gorgeous ass?” Emma taps again and a deep rumble emits from her chest. “Fuck!” Lena yelps as Emma leaves a trail of kisses before finding another of Lena’s sensitive spots behind her ear.

Lena keeps bucking her hips, trying to find relief from the growing need between her legs.

As if sensing this Emma unlatches from behind Lena’s ear and leaves a trail of kisses along her jaw and pulls her head back.

Emma stares into dilated eyes and knows her eyes must look the same. Their colour is almost completely replaced by their pupils.

Slowly Emma reaches for the bottom of her N7 hoodie Lena is wearing and starts to pull it up. She taps three times, unable to sign due to how close Lena has pressed against her.

Taking the hint Lena nods and grabs Emma's clothes as well. Flinging them off in one go, exposing Emma’s sports bra and making the blonde chuckle as she quirks an eyebrow up.

In a similar way Emma lifts the hoodie and t-shirt Lena is wearing in one fluid motion. Revealing Lena’s bare chest.

Emma freezes and is transfixed by Lena’s full breasts, causing Lena to smirk at her reaction. “Like what you see?”

A single tap answers her and Emma leans in and starts kissing in between Lena’s chest.

“You always did like my bo-obs!” Lena gasps and tightens her hold on Emma’s ass as Emma swirls her tongue around her hardening nipple. Kissing, licking and sucking it before moving onto the other one. “Em!” Lena breathes out feeling herself getting wetter and wetter. She throws her head back and scrunches up her eyes.“Shit!” Her hips buck as the need grows more and more inside her.

After some time passes, Emma slides her hands down Lena’s back and hooks her thumbs on the waistband. She taps three times on the top of Lena’s ass but the raven haired beauty doesn’t respond. Too lost in the other things Emma was doing.

The blonde moves her head away and smirks at how her girlfriend was coming undone. Immediately Lena’s head snaps back to the blonde with a scowl upon her face.

“Why’d you stop?”

Emma tugs on Lena’s waistband again and taps three times. Lena’s breath hitches and she lets go of Emma, lifting her hips to allow Emma to pull the leggings off. The blonde does this slowly, enjoying the view as more and more of Lena is revealed. When she realises Lena isn’t wearing underwear, Emma bites her lip and a deep rumble of need sounds from her chest.

“I’m not going to lie, I had hoped we would be doing something like this.” Lena breathes out at the blonde’s reaction and watches Emma bend to pull the leggings off. Leaving Lena stark naked on the island. She shivers, not because the marble of the island is cold against her bare ass, but the way Emma is gazing longingly at her. Taking in every curve, every part of her body. The blonde straightens, throwing the leggings to the floor and raises her hands.

“You're so beautiful.” Emma signs and leans in to kiss Lena fiercely on the lips before the blonde restarts her descent. Sucking and biting Lena’s flawless skin, leaving marks upon the surface as she heads to her destination.

“Oh god.” Lena chokes out in anticipation and places a hand on Emma’s head, running her hand smoothly through blonde hair. A sharp intake of breath overcomes the raven haired beauty as Emma pulls her further to the edge, giving her better access to her pussy.

Emma does three taps on Lena’s thigh as she kisses up and down them. Purposefully avoiding Lena’s dripping pussy.

“Please Emma! Please!” Lena whines as her hand massages the blonde’s head, willing her into the place she needs Emma’s mouth the most. “Love please.”

Finally Emma buries her head between Lena’s legs and the CEO cries out in exhilaration. Emma voicelessly hums with her at the taste of Lena’s juices.

The raven haired beauty’s hips buck as she feels Emma’s tongue running up and down her inner labia before focusing on her clit. She gasps loudly when the blonde kisses it and her tongue twirls around the nub.

“Yes Emma! So go-oood!” Lena whines and her back arches, head back and mouth open as she moans.

A deep rumble rings out of Emma’s chest as she feels Lena’s movements becoming erratic and tense. Knowing she was getting close Emma lowers her face to Lena’s pussy. She gently licks and taps Lena’s thigh three times.

“Yes! Please! Put your tongue in me! Please!” Lena pleads breathlessly and cries out when Emma does as she asks.

“Emma! Fuck! Yes!” Lena cries out, grabbing a fist full of Emma’s hair and shoves her face further into her pussy. She grinds against Emma’s tongue, her moans filling the apartment, increasing in pitch as she gets closer to her release.

“Just like that!” Lena wails and her hips lift off the counter, causing Emma to gently hold her back in place. “Em-ma! Em! Yes! Yes! I love you! Oh fuck! Emma!” Lena yells and convulses as the waves of pleasure wash over her.

Emma removes her tongue and keeps gently licking. Knowing her own underwear is completely soaked through. The sight before her, of her girlfriend’s chest rising and falling heavily, her head raised back with her mouth open, is the most magnificent thing she has ever seen.

When Lena starts to come down from her high she begins to go slack and Emma can see her girlfriend flopping backwards and hitting her head on the glass panel. She unwantedly removes her mouth from Lena’s pussy and stands upright to support Lena’s weight. Immediately the raven haired beauty flops onto her shoulders. Her head nestles into the blonde’s neck.

Emma tenses for a moment but focuses on her girlfriend in her arms rather than the words and images that were trying to infiltrate her mind. She tenderly kisses the top of Lena’s head and breathes.

Eventually Lena stops convulsing and starts softly kissing Emma’s neck. She misses the slight twitch the blonde does and lifts her head. “God that was-” She breathes out. “I’ve missed you so much.”

Emma smirks slightly, blinking a few times before lightly pressing their foreheads together.

“Shall we take this somewhere more comfortable?” Lena asks when she feels fully recovered. Knowing that if she had tried to move any earlier her legs would have given way.

Emma nods and helps Lena off the island. Patting off the flour that had clung onto Lena’s sweat sheen body.

“Thank you love.” Lena says softly and takes Emma’s hand, leading her to the bedroom. She sways her hips, knowing her girlfriend’s focus will stay on them. Once by the bed Lena turns and cocks her head to the side. “You still have a bit of flour over you.” She chuckles and grabs a towel to get the worst of it off. Once Lena is finished with it Emma does the same. Booping Lena’s nose when she’s done, causing the raven haired beauty to laugh before her expression becomes serious again. “You know. You are still slightly overdressed.”

Emma looks down at herself and blinks at her sports bra and sweatpants. Glancing back up, she grins at Lena.

“And?”

“And how am I going to fuck you with my cock if you’re still clothed?”

Emma swears her heart stills for a second and her breath hitches at the thought of Lena using a toy on her.

“Would you like that darling?” Lena runs her hand over Emma’s still clothed chest. Feeling the blonde’s hardening nipple. “Love? I need you to respond.”

Emma nods frantically and licks her lips.

Lena smirks and pulls Emma into a heated kiss. Wasting no more time Lena pulls the blonde’s sports bra over her head, breaking the kiss for a moment before their mouths and tongues crash back together again.

They fall onto the bed and Lena immediately straddles her girlfriend. Rocking her hips against Emma’s, still clothed, lower half.

“Do you know how maddening it’s been not being able to touch you?” Lena says while running her hands up and down Emma’s chest. Massaging her breasts, causing Emma to let out a voiceless moan. Knowing her underwear is completely drenched now.

Emma taps once against Lena’s back in response. There had been many moments when she was alone with Lena and wanted nothing more than to devour her. But the DEO medical staff always seem to have a knack for interrupting at the wrong times.

“You are mine.” Lena bends down and places a tender kiss on Emma’s lips. “And I am yours.”

Emma taps again and nods. ‘Rao I am yours! All yours!’ Her mind screams out and she moves her hips with Lena’s.

The raven haired beauty smirks and slips two fingers inside Emma’s sweatpants and underwear. She crawls off of the blonde and peels back the clothes. “Fuck, you are stunning.” Lena groans as she takes in Emma’s naked body. The toned muscles and shapely chest. The blonde has never looked better.

“Lee? Please.”

“Please what?” Lena raises an eyebrow.

“Fuck me.”

“As you wish.” Lena slides over to her bedside table and opens the drawer containing their toys. “Any preference?”

Emma shakes her head, the anticipation growing inside her makes her grin.

Especially when Lena pulls out the strapless strap-on dildo. The couple had decided to go for a non realistic version in purple. Lena also grabs the lube and scooches over to Emma’s legs, placing the items beside her.

“But first, I want to taste you.”

‘Fuck.’ Emma thinks, her eyes widening as she rests back on her elbows so she can watch Lena. Who lowers herself between Emma’s legs, keeping her eyes connected with Emma’s as she kisses her inner thighs.

“You know, I should have checked your underwear.” Lena sucks hard on Emma’s thigh, leaving a mark. “I bet it was soaked through.”

Emma moves her hips slightly, feeling her clit twitch and nods in response.

Lena grins and gently pulls Emma’s outer labia apart. She moans at the juices dripping from Emma’s pussy. “God, you're so wet!” She runs a finger through Emma’s folds, making the blonde release a voiceless gasp. “All this because of me?”

Emma taps in response and gives her girlfriend a pleading expression.

Lena compiles and runs her tongue from the bottom of Emma’s pussy, all the way up to her clit and back. “God Em, you taste divine.” She moans deeply at the taste of Emma’s thick, sweet tasting juices.

Emma’s back arches at the contact, her fist balling at the sheets and voiceless whines escapes her lips.

She jolts when Lena moves up to her clit, gently kissing and sucking the nub.

Lena listens to the new noises her girlfriend is making. How strange it was to hear the different breaths without her voice. A pang hits Lena right in the chest. She misses Emma’s moans, how Lena could make her scream her name over and over.

But she ignores it and continues to focus her attention on the blonde.

Before Emma can come Lena pauses and lifts her head slightly to gaze at Emma. “Can I fuck you?”

Emma nods frantically and falls back against the bed when she feels Lena slide a finger into her. She reaches out, resting her hand on Lena’s head. “Oh Em! You feel so good, wrapped around my finger.”

Lena goes knuckle deep and starts kissing Emma’s clit again. The blonde’s back arches off the bed and her thighs tighten around Lena’s head, her hips bucking at the pleasure coursing through her.

‘Fuck! Lee! Shit! Oh Rao! That’s it!’

Emma lets out a high breath as Lena adds another finger. Her pussy immediately clenches around them as Lena continues  to pump in and out of her.

Emma jolts violently as Lena rubs against her g-spot, her legs shake and her mind screams as her orgasm builds.

“Come for me Emma.”

The blonde scrunches up her eyes as she tenses from the pleasure hitting her full force. An extended breath rips from her lips and she spasms as Lena continues to draw out her orgasm.

“God you are so fucking sexy.” Lena groans and removes her fingers, licking the juices from them. “Taste it too.”

As Emma becomes more aware she feels Lena pressed next to her on the bed. Opening her eyes she grins at her girlfriend, who watches her closely.

Lena gasps and her face contorts in pleasure. Emma can’t mistake the wet sounds coming from Lena’s pussy. She glances down and her brain short circuits at the sight of Lena fucking herself with the shorter end of the dildo.

“I-I’m sorry, I- fuck, I just couldn’t resist.” Lena gasps out and licks her lips in a moan.

Emma smirks and moves her head to close the short distance and captures Lena’s lips in a kiss. The raven haired beauty's moan is muffled and she uses her free hand to run through Emma’s golden hair.

She lets out another muffled noise of surprise when Emma rolls her onto her back and straddles her. The dildo resting between her legs.

Emma breaks the kiss and grabs the bottle of lube. Lena holds the toy in place, her chest rises and falls quickly as she watches Emma lube the purple dildo up. The blonde raises and positions herself over the shaft, before lowering herself onto it.

Lena blows out as she feels the slight pressure within her as Emma sits on the toy. She waits as Emma gets used to it, not wanting to rush her.

Emma grins down at her girlfriend and starts rocking her hips, feeling the dildo more and more as she increases the speed.

Lena starts lifting her hips as well, finding the rhythm to match Emma’s. She sucks in her lips at the pleasurable feel of the dildo inside of her and the sight of Emma’s breasts bouncing with each thrust.

“Fuck I could watch you all day.” Lena reaches up and pulls Emma on top of her . Heatedly kissing her mouth and sworling their tongues together.

Lena is also mildly impressed that Emma is able to keep the toy within her. The first time they tried it the blasted thing kept slipping out, causing a lot of laughs and giggles.

But now, the fucking was intense and needy.

Lena jolts as Emma turns the vibrator part of the toy on and cries out as Emma increases intensity.

Breaking the kiss, Emma grabs onto the headboard. Thrusting her hips harder and faster causing both women to moan.

“Fuck! Emma! Fuck! Fuck! Emma!” Lena screams as she arches her back, eyes tightly shut.

‘Lee! Lee! Lee!’ Emma’s mind screams as she tightly grips the headboard. The slowly building pressure beneath her stomach crescendoing until she can’t control the rhythm of her hips anymore.

Both come at the same time, swimming in ecstasy, so lost in the explosion of their orgasm that they don’t hear the cracking of the headboard under Emma’s fingers.

Lena is the first to come down from her high and she gazes up at Emma. Watching her face that is still scrunched up as the blonde rolls with the waves of pleasure. Her diaphragm rises and falls quickly as she gasps for breath. Her body spasms every now and then and eventually she relaxes, slowly opening her eyes.

“Hello there.” Lena grins brightly up at her, which Emma returns. The raven haired beauty pulls her girlfriend down to her and kisses her passionately. Not wanting this moment to ever end.

"You gotta stop doing that.”

That, of all things, got Brainy’s attention, and he looked over at Winn, eyes still clearly not quite focused on him.

“Doing what?” he asked (even if you probably do know what you’re doing, Winn thought. Asshole.)

“You know.” Winn said, pointing at his eyes, then Brainy’s, hand going up and down in front of Brainy’s face while making the same gesture. “The whole... thousand-yard-stare, not all here kind of look.”

“I am not looking that far. However, I have just learned that that is an expression in your time, so-“

“Aha! I knew it!” Winn exclaimed, and Brainy examined him, like he had a hidden voice recorder somewhere on him.

“What?”

“You’re absorbing our Internet. Learning everything you can from us, before you go back to the thirty-first century. And hey, I don’t blame you. It’s just-“

Brainy rolled his eyes.

“Finish your sentence, Winn.”

“I think you’re cheating in Trivial Pursuit.”

“I would never!” Brainy said, a hand over his heart, in mock indignancy. Or maybe the real thing, Winn wasn’t sure.

But either way, Winn was feeling generous right then. Sure, he and Brainy had kept their distance from each other from a little while, but now things seemed to be going better while they searched for the final Worldkiller. There was more down time, more opportunities to bond- Kara had made certain of that.

And at least he and Brainy could be in the same room without yelling at each other- at least at first.

(Hell, it was here in the DEO command center that their feud had started- and now they were sitting here next to one another, in their spinning chairs that Brainy had already complained weren’t comfortable, in comparison to the one he operated in the Legion ship.

It looks like half of an egg, it doesn’t seem comfortable, Winn shot back, and Brainy had been silent since, thinking of a retort)

“I get it, man.” Winn said. “You’re fine. I won’t tell everyone else that you’re-“

Brainy was on his way to glaring at him.

“That you may or may not be cheating.” he said, and was rewarded with a small smile.

“What is the catch?” he asked.

“Ah, guess that’s a constant in any timeline.” Winn said. “Okay then. I don’t tell them- if you tell me about how your powers work. And you don’t use them during actual games.”

“Because that would be considered real cheating.”

“Yeah, yeah, now you’re getting it.” Winn said.

“Trust me, Winslow, I do understand the concept.” Brainy answered. “And what do I get from this?”

Winn grinned.

“You get to have me as your new Trivial Pursuit partner.”

My Lethal White episode 1 recap

After having had a lot of fun recapping episode 2, I went back and did episode 1 as well. It got a bit out of hand and is a loooong post...

Under the cut, because, evidently, there will be ALL THE SPOILERS! 🚨

*SQUEEEEE!!!* THEY’RE BACK!!! 🤗💃🏻🙌🏼  (Yes, I’m still squeeing, although this is a rewatch)

Let’s look at the title sequence, shall we? They’ve added a few new details: There’s the wooden cross from the dell, the White Horse of Uffington and Robin’s Houses of Parliament guest pass. The child from Billy’s memories and the pink blanket. Someone’s already mentioned the ‘whore’ swirling in the coffee cup, and then later we have a fencing icon in the pint. Cool hints. 😎

Cut to tired, head-achy Cormoran at the wedding. Strike has a slightly different haircut, and I wonder: they dye Tom’s hair darker for the role, but he has a glint of natural first grey at the temples that I’ve seen on Tom pre-Strike. How did they keep that? (Sorry about the hair kink digression…☺️)

Pet peeve of mine they carried over from Career of Evil: in the book, Donald Laing slashes Strike’s palm, but it didn’t happen in the series. There was no blood on his hand when he called Robin, and his glove was intact. And yet, Strike has his hand bandaged. I know it’s a silly pet peeve of mine, but stuff like that pulls me out of the moment. And Strike wouldn’t slap on a bandage just for a little bruising. *steps off soap box*

“You look beautiful.” - “And you look terrible.” - “It’s this jacket, needs taking in.” 😂

“I want you back.” - “What?” Augh, the double meaning of it all, Strike’s softness and Robin’s initial uncertainty of what he means. 🥺

When she realizes that Matt deleted Strike’s messages, there’s a tear spilling from her eye, and she quickly wipes it away. 😢 Such good acting. Such a brave girl.

A few of us have already addressed this in the chat: did Matt BLOCK Strike, or delete his calls and messages? Or both? They’re frustratingly unclear about this detail, and it makes a difference in terms of Strike being able to reach her or not. (I’m a continuity nerd, sorry)

Sarah standing next to Matthew. *gags*

Robin looks so beautiful! And so very sad. (Holliday is acting her heart out of this season, can’t say it enough). This is award material, hands-down. 🏆

Her look across the room at Cormoran while they’re eating! And he’s… just been staring at her all through the meal? Good god. These two.

If Cormoran falls asleep before dessert he’s got to be really, REALLY tired.☺️ Poor baby.

We’ve got to work on your fine dining skills, Cormoran darling! It’s very cowboy and rugged, handling cutlery like that, but you would SINK during an aristocracy under-cover op. Maybe the Comte de la Fère is available for a lesson?

The first chords of The Calling’s “Wherever you will go”. Ack. They really went for the original, and as someone who’s always been ridiculously in love with that cheesy song, I AM HERE FOR IT.

Cormoran walking slow-mo past the bridesmaids, looking at Robin dancing with Matt The Twat. My heart…💔

When I’m gone you’ll need love to light the shadows on your face… *sniff*

Cormoran’s FACE during the dance. I can’t. He looks like a puppy about to get shot. 🥺

(and what a juxtaposition to the little lady with the funny hat bobbing happily next to him, to everyone looking awww and being completely ignorant of the drama that’s playing out. Ugh. I’m dead.)

Matthew moves like someone who’s (painstakingly) learned exactly one (1) dance, and for their wedding only, and why is he even smiling so proudly? They must’ve just had the biggest row in history? Is he really so full of himself?

Even Robin is smiling, although staring longingly at Strike. I bet they did that so Strike would be a little mad at her and want to walk away.

AND HE DOES! 😟 You can just see the “Fuck this” from the book crossing his face as he turns around and leaves. Ack. I’m dead again.

If I could then I would, I’ll go wherever you will go

(Perfectly placed, kudos) 👏🏼

And she runs after him, looking like a fairy-tale princess. Did you see how frigging COLD it must’ve been, judging by her breath?! Poor Holliday must have been freezing to death during the shoot. And then to pull off such a heartbreaking scene…

(Also, the lawn in the park? A shitload of rolled sods. No grass looks this lusciously green in winter, and you can see the edges everywhere. Some landscaper had a field day there!)

“Are you sure?” - “Yeah. I am.” About WHAT, you idiots?! *wrings hands* To her coming back to work, of course, but there’s so much more to their statements. And I’m sure that non-book-readers thought they were about to kiss and elope, but - alas! - we know that’s not going to happen.😔

But at least we get The Hug™️, and it’s everything we hoped for: Robin crying, digging her fingers into his jacket; Cormoran closing his eyes… God help us, we are all DOOMED sailing this ship! 🙈💔

I was a little miffed upon first watching that they faded out of that hug so quickly. That was it? No, it wasn’t, as we now know, and I love, love, love that we’re getting all these extended flashbacks that reveal more and more of what happened to us!

ONE BLOODY YEAR LATER (I still can’t get over that time jump)

Lol at the subcontractor crashing his moped into the cab! It was only briefly mentioned in the book, and turning it into an actual dialogue was a fun idea.😂

And there’s Denise (that IS her, right?), completely uninterested in doing her job. Good grief - Strike and Robin are BAD a picking employees! 🙈

Robin looking not-jealous-at-all at Strike walking off with Lorelei. Ouch.

I like Lorelei, btw. They chose the actress well, and she’s nice and mature. Which doesn’t mean that I’m not secretly flinching every time she kisses Cormoran. It’s just not right.

Billy. Joseph Quinn does an incredible job playing him. 👏🏼 As dangerous as he appears at first, his despair and his efforts at holding himself together are heartbreaking. That battle he wages against his mental illness is on full display, and his scared big eyes are killing me. 🥺

Cormoran is admirably unfazed by Billy’s appearance - is that his Army training kicking in? Robin, though, is shaking but braving it out, recording with her phone although her hands are trembling. Good acting by Holliday.

Good riddance, Denise.

The good ole’ pencil trick. “I didn’t know people still did this.” 😌

I was surprised that Cormoran chose to simply break into the house on Charlemont road. It’s breaking and entering for no good reason. Could’ve been anybody’s home.

He’s not going to- EWW! He’s sitting down on that filthy couch. And plucking hairs from it. EWW!🤢

Robin: “...and some porn.” 😂 Says it as if it’s what they always find. The usual. Men… 🙄

Who’s the guy taking pictures of Cormoran? I seriously don’t remember this from the b- Oh, WAIT! Reporter guy. Patterson. Yeah. Him.

The CORE members are as cliché in their looks as are Chiswell’s upper class folks. It’s all a bit on the nose for my taste, but then clichés are clichés for a reason.

Cormoran needs to work on his disguises. Not fitting in at all with the CORE crowd, age-wise or in his look. No wonder they don’t trust him. He does it better in the books.

Oh Robin. I actually think you need a lot more therapy to work through your shit.

Ah, here we go. Seaborn bacteria. But first, Matt’s got to be a prick again. 🙄

Chiswell with his arrogance and his rudeness and his finger-snapping. *shakes head* I think if Cormoran hadn’t known he could make some serious money with this case, he may have walked out on him.

Btw, the “large” jacket is making Strike look slimmer instead of bigger. 😄 They’re so desperately mentioning Strike’s largeness, as if beating it over our heads could actually make us not see barely-6-foot and slender Tom Burke.

“Couple more potatoes wouldn’t hurt.” And his FACE! 🥰

Glenister is a really good actor. I always listen to the Strike audiobooks that he narrates, and I was worried hearing his voice in the show would be confusing, but it’s not because he sounds so different. Can’t wait for him reading “Troubled Blood” to me! ���

Is it a coincidence that Drummond’s art gallery has a painting of a horse in its front window? I think not.

I love that soft blue shirt they put Cormoran in. Makes him look very huggable. *blushes*

“Not sure I would make a convincing goddaughter either.”😂

So in England you can just walk up to a minister’s house and ring the doorbell without any security people stopping you? Interesting.

Chiswell just shutting the door in Cormoran’s face. RUDE.😠

The brown contact lenses. 👀 Okay, they make her look different, but not THAT different. It’s her sudden posh accent that’s the real stunner.

The panic attacks. Holliday plays them so well, I almost feel like I can’t breathe myself. 😧

I was expecting the Houses of Parliament to look a little less like a stuffy basement full of old junk. *ducks*

Barclay! Definitely looking more attractive than his description in the book. And I thought I’d gotten food at understanding Scottish. I haven’t. *turns subtitles on*

Izzy is the only Chiswell offspring who doesn’t make me want to immediately vomit.

“Venetia. Like the blinds.” Oh God. 🙈

Winn is such a creep. 🤮 Poor Robin. GET AWAY FROM HER YOU LEECH!

Of course Matt doesn’t want Robin to wear the Green Dress. Twat.🙄

The house warming party. I always wonder why Robin doesn’t have friends of her own. I have a feeling Matt has something to do with that.

The earrings. So we will see Robin finding out Matt’s cheating on her! I can’t wait for her to rip him a new one! 😈

Robin calls Cormoran - and it’s not Coco but Lorelei who picks up. That’s a smart change from the book. And it makes her the rebound girl. Which she doesn’t deserve, but it is what it is.

“And she bakes.” 🥴 Is it just me wondering how Lorelei got that cake into the tin without ruining the icing?!

Flashback to The Hug™️. God, their faces are so close. Cormoran is so soft. Nnnnhhhggggg.

Enter the plaid shirt. Lumber!Cormoran is a good look on him! 😍

The Armchair of Sadness™️. Of course that’s where the devastating phone call to Robin’s house happens! The disbelief and disappointment on Cormoran’s face is heart rending. 😢💔

@lulacat3 and I have already established the continuity error with Cormoran’s facial injuries suddenly missing when he’s reached the pub. (And they should still be there; he’s still wearing the plaid shirt from that same evening.) If I were the makeup person I would have been deeply regretful of having missed dabbing fake injuries on Tom’s face again.

The Uffington Horse. Robin’s in appropriate Wellingtons, weather jacket and a beanie for their outing. Cormoran is wearing what he always wears, and Tom clearly wishes he had a beanie. At least he gets to wear a t-shirt under his eternally blue shirts this season. REVOLUTION! 😄

Sure. Let’s just go and dig for a corpse with a shovel so conveniently available! Just the two of them - one delicate Robin and one invalid. And then Robin finds the bones after ten seconds of digging. No further comment. 🙄

But I like the change with Cormoran’s leg. As stupidly heroic as he acted in the book, I like it better in the show where he has to acknowledge his handicap and Robin takes charge.

The bones. Dun-dun-DUN!

(Good first episode, although all in all the pacing wasn’t quite right yet, and compared to the book it all felt a bit rushed. I liked episode two better.)

Survey #426

“insatiable furnace, burning up our surplus  /  watching all essential life become another servant”

Are you a brunette? Yep. It is way past due time that I get it dyed... What is your favorite channel on TV? I don't really watch TV, but if I did, I'm pretty sure it'd probably be Discovery. Have you ever been to Chicago, IL? Yes!! It's my only experience with a truly BIG city, and though I'm not a city person, the experience was pretty magical. It was something I wasn't even remotely used to. Just so much life and business and energy to feel there. Who was your first friend? Brianna. She was the sister of my older sister's best friend. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas. :') Do you regret your last kiss? Nope. Have you ever taken a karate class? No. Who was the last person to tell you ‘I love you’? My mom. Have you ever been to the Statue of Liberty? No. Do you live on your own? Noooo. I don't think I ever could. I would have to stay VERY busy, or else the loneliness would kill me. Hell, even if I was very active in stuff, I still don't know if I could. With how bad my depression is capable of being, it doesn't sound smart at all for me to move out unless it was with somebody. Are your the oldest child? No, I'm the middle kid. How many X-rays have you had in the last 2 years? Two, maybe? One for my legs and the other for my teeth. Are you on good terms with your last ex? Yeah, we're best friends. Do you have scars you don’t like to talk about? Nah. Do you freak out if a bee/wasp flies near you? ... yes lol. What subjects in history interest you most? The Holocaust. It's just so... shocking and extreme that it's oddly fascinating, but of course horribly sad. Are you superstitious in any way? Nah. How do you get rid of anxiety? Do what? Are there any items of jewelry you never/rarely take off? Yeah, my two rings, my lip piercing, and tragus piercing. Has a song ever made you cry before? There are many. ^If so, what about it brought you to tears? Again, I said "many," so this would be a horribly long list. There are four though - "Eternally Yours" and "Another Life" by Motionless in White, "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, and "The Mortician's Daughter" by Black Veil Brides - that I really, really try to avoid, because I WILL cry. They're all associated with Jason for one reason or another. "Stairway to Heaven," especially, is absolutely forbidden for me to listen to. Would you consider yourself open-minded? Very, honestly. Have you ever met someone online that you wanted to meet in real life? I've met Sara! :') There are a handful of others I'd love to meet, too. Tell me about the last thing that made you laugh until it hurt. Wow, I have no idea. I don't remember the last time I laughed THAT hard. When you graduate, what color will your gown be? Ugh, it was this insufferable red. We got to vote on it, and I really wanted navy instead, as it looks more formal and not as obnoxious to me, but red won. Do you own a gun? No. My household legally can't because of my suicidal history. What color of shirt are you wearing? It's a black tank top. Do you use any acne medication? Nah, I don't really get acne anymore. Are you emotional or very stoic? I'm emotional as shit. Have you ever watched an anime series, start to finish? A few. There's Fullmetal Alchemist (as well as the Brotherhood expansion), Deadman Wonderland, and Ginga Densetsu Weed. I've seen bits of others. Which baby animal is your favorite? MEERKATS!!!!!! :') Once they reach three/four weeks, they're fucking precious. I also really like kittens. Do you like jam on your toast and biscuits? Sometimes. Have you ever reread a book? It is very, VERY rare I do this. The only cases I remember are for Because of Winn-Dixie and Meerkat Manor: Flower of the Kalahari. Do you have any religious symbols in your home? I think Mom has some religious quotes on the walls? What religion do you identify with, if any? None. What is you favorite flavor of pudding and/or yogurt? I love chocolate pudding, but I'm not very big on yogurt because of the sourness. I can sometimes eat a cookies 'n cream one, but occasionally I'm like "ew." We’re going to the best amusement park ever, first ride you choose is? One of those water rides where you go down a big slope. Did you have intense night terrors as a child? No. Know anybody who works in a tattoo parlor? No. That'd be dope. Have you ever had a piercing get infected? Ugh, yes. Worst was the first time I got my tongue pierced. It was early into infection though, thank God; I ended up having to take it out and get it re-pierced later. Have you ever shoplifted? No. Do you hate when people say, "Everything’s going to be fine,“ when it’s not? Sometimes. It can feel kinda dismissive of your extreme situation, and sometimes, things simply won't be okay. Like, you can't tell that to someone on their death bed. Do you check your fire alarms when you’re supposed to? No, oops. Are you a shorts-wearing kind of person? Absolutely not. Nobody wants to see my legs, not even me. Is your grandparents’ house obsessively tidy? My grandma's sure as hell was. She was very old-fashioned and "proper" and took cleanliness and manners very seriously. Do you know how to jumpstart a car? Nope. Would you date someone 8 years older than you? Probably. What did you do today? I WENT TO THE GYM AND DID A FULL HOUR OF EXERCISE!!!!! :') For once I am SO fucking proud of myself. I left drenched in sweat, but I also left with a feeling of great accomplishment. I'm going to be going twice a week now with a personal trainer. (: Who was the last person you fell asleep with? Sara. Have you ever punched a hole in the wall? No. People doing that shit terrifies me. Have you ever felt replaced? Sure have. Have you ever kissed someone who was high? No. If you caught your significant other cheating on you what would you do? I don't have a partner, but hypothetically, leave their ass in a blink. I don't fuck with those kind of people. Do you know who Jeffree Star is? Well, yes. I watch him on YT sometimes and (astonishingly) love his music, and I find his work ethic extremely inspiring. That man knows how to hustle. What’s your favourite alcoholic beverage? Probably sangrias. When was the last time you saw a photo of your ex? "The" ex, it's been years. I've removed all pictures I have of him, irl and digitally, because it's triggering for me. How many push-ups can you do? Probably zero. Do you play any games on your phone? There's Pokemon GO, DragonVale, and Dragons of Atlantis that I play semi-regularly. Have you ever received a compliment from a stranger? Yes. Have you ever shaved your face? Just my upper lip to avoid the lady stache, ha ha. What colour is your front door? It’s white. Do you take the stairs or the elevator? If an elevator is available, I will ALWAYS use that. I have an extreeeemely hard time getting up stairs because of having just about no leg muscle. Do you get motion sickness? No. When was the last time you went to your favourite restaurant? Oh man, it's been forever. :/ Olive Garden sounds soooo good right now. Do either of your parents have any tattoos or piercings? No. Well, Mom has her earlobes pierced once, but that's it. Are you desperate for anyone’s approval, in particular? It's funny, even though he hasn't been a part of my life for years, I still desperately crave what I think would make Jason proud. There have been many times where my mind has wondered to what he would think of me now... and I know it's not good. Are there any activities you enjoy doing, but can only do for a short amount of time before you get bored or tired of them? Reading. When was the last time you felt hopeful, and why? Today, after finishing my workout at the gym. I think, finally, that I may be taking another stride forward in life. Do you find yourself asking for the same things for your birthdays and for holidays? Ha, yup: a new tattoo, 100%. What is something someone recommended to you that you disliked/hated? Girt's recommended some music to me before. He loves sharing songs he likes with me. Of course I didn't tell him it sucked, ha ha. What’s a fact about the last person you kissed? She is very passionate about animals, reptiles in particular, and is simply amazing with them. If you had a child, would you rather have a girl or a boy? A girl for sure. Has anybody ever accused you of doing drugs? No. Have you ever fallen asleep with the last person you kissed? Yeah. Honestly, do you think that you will wanna settle down in the same town you’re currently residing in? HELL no. I hate this place. Does anyone call you darling? If so who? Sara does sometimes. Are you close to any of your cousins? No. Are you a romantic person? I think I am. What’s the coolest thing you’ve seen out the window of an airplane? Mountains. Have you ever been in the mountains when the moon and stars were up? NO BUT FUCK I WANT THAT. Just lay in a grassy spot with some s'mores or something and just ~vibe~. Do people like your hair? I get complimented on it a bit. Have you ever held birdseed and a bird came and ate out of your hand? Yeah, at a bird sanctuary. Could you ever live in Alaska? Hell yeah, I'd enjoy that. On the main page on YouTube, what’re the three recommended videos? There's one by a WoW gold maker, a song by 3TEETH, and a video of bullsnakes hatching. Do you really care how many friends you or anyone else has on Myspace/Facebook? Couldn't care less. I only "friend" people I know and care about. Does your significant other have any piercings? I'm single. Do you ever get bored of yourself? Oh, all the time. I feel like I'm extremely dull and plain and, well, boring. How many band shirts do you own? Which? Oh goodness, I have no idea. I own a lot. Do you go to shows mostly for the music, the moshing, or the merchandise? I go for the music. It's nice to buy merch, but it's SO expensive that it's dumb. Moshing, I think is just stupid. Have you ever had anything pierced that you don’t have now? Many places, actually. So many holes closed because piercings had to be taken out when I was in the psych hospital. I was so annoyed. Who were you with the first time you watched the last movie you watched? I was alone. Do you have any twins/multiples in your family? Are they identical or fraternal? No. What is the highest number of jobs you’ve had at one time? One. Is your mom a good mom? She is the actual best. Last thing you threw in the garbage? The crust of some leftover pizza I had this morning. I generally eat the crust, but this time it was WAY too hard.

Strange Bedfellows: Part 3

Fucking creepy, Weyoun

Thot!!!

Are these white noses an Alpha Quadrant Jem'hadar thing?

No need to be space racist, Damar

If this is the advice Martok gives, no wonder Worf's kind of a shitty partner

Relationships are partnerships, not battles you freaks

Speaking of freaky relationships...

Winn does suck, but no more than a regular politician. She doesn't deserve to get duped into a relationship with a guy who tried to colonize her race

I do actually think this would be great for my back

How does Weyoun expect to watch them fuck like this though?

Love Benjamin's "Welcome to the club!" about people seeing her as a religious authority figure

Benjamin. Her not wanting to lead a ceremony for a religion she doesn't follow isn't about your relationship

SHUT UP, Worf

Weird fucking thing to use as leverage in an interrogation with prisoners of war, Weyoun

Do Breen have snouts or just weird helmets?

I love the "Leave me!" "Oh, shut up!"

Julian looks so fucking miserable

Yeah, she's fucking young at heart, you creep. She's Jake's age

#MakeBajorStrongAgain

"Strength" is the same reason you decided to work with the Dominon, dude. Ya ever stop to think that making deals with the devil to be strong might be a mistake, dude?

I feel bad for her

I mean, I'm not religious, but if the devil spoke to me and god ignored me AND I got deceived into sleeping with the worst person on Earth, I'd lose my faith too

Pov: you're just a random fucking citizen and the Pope comes to YOU for religious advice

AND THEN THEY DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO YOU

Adami, babe, I'm trying so hard to side with you rn but you're being so fucking stupid

Weyoun's acting like a cheating, manipulating boyfriend

Damar Olivia Rodrigo Traitor AMV

Kanar looks fucking disgusting. What is it they're making Casey Biggs put in his mouth?

I love Ezri

I don't like worfezri but at least it's narratively interesting and gives insight to the characters, unlike jezri, which is just a half assed and poorly constructed pair the spares

Maybe worfrriker doesn't work since he's so high strung about sex

I do truly love Worf and Ezri as besties though

I do love Winn's little assistant dude who clearly despises Dukat

Ma'am, I can understand turning away from your faith, but there's no need to go full supervillian

25 Favorite Polyam-Ships of the Arrowverse

The more the merrier. Who needs love triangles if they can be so easily resolved? Here is a list of my favorite Polyamory Ships of the Arrowverse-Shows. And no, sadly none of those was ever canon, except maybe one or two….

 25. Legends8S1 (Rip Hunter/Sara Lance/Ray Palmer/Mick Rory/Leonard Snart/Kendra Saunders/Jefferson Jackson/Martin Stein)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 1

 I am not sure why but there are many fics for this insane ship even though later versions of the Legends had much more interteam-dating going on. Maybe it’s cause it has something.

24.  Legion of Doom (Eobard Thawne/Damien Darhk/Malcolm Merlyn)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 2

 In canon the mostly hated each other. Fans thinks differentyl.

23.  Avalancegreen (Ava Sharpe/Sara Lance/Gary Green)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 3-5

 This is Garys Dream Ship.

22.  Vixensteelwave (Amaya Jiwe/Nate Heywood/Mick Rory)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 2-3

 Many people shipped Mick with either Amaya or still ship him with Nate and Nate and Amaya were a canon couple so, why not?

21.  Superflarrow (Kara Danvers/Barry Allen/Oliver Queen)

 Arrow/Flash/Supergirl, Invasion!, Crisis on Earth-X, Elseworlds, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Arrow Season 8

 The Trinity gets often shipped together for rather obvious reasons.

20.  Hawkatomwave (Kendra Saunders/Ray Palmer/Mick Rory)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 1

 Kendra and Ray were a canon couple and Ray and Mick had a heavy canon bromance going on, so there is were this comes from.

19.  Vixensteelatom (Amaya Jiwe/Nate Heywood/Ray Palmer)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 2-3

 All three of them were great friends who would often hang out together, Amaya und Nate were actually dating, Nates and Rays bromance was the heart and soulf of the show for four seasons and the chemistry between Ray and Amaya was great, so why the hell not?

 18.  Kascholsen (Kara Danvers/Winn Schott/James Olsen)

 Supergirl Season 1-3

 The Originals Superfriends just had that dynamic about them. Also a way to resolve the Season 1 Love Triangle.

 17.  Steeldarhkatom (Nate Heywood/Nora Darhk/Ray Palmer)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 3-5

 This might just be kind of canon in Season 5, when Ray is dating Nora but still kind of bro-dating Nate aswell. The went to prom together after all.

16.  Winnia-5 (Winn Schott/Nia Nal/Brainiac-5)

 Supergirl Season 3-5

 The three adorable „Supergirl“-Nerds put together. Nia and Winn never really interacted much, but through this you get Braina und Winniac-5 all in one package, so yeah, maybe that’s just me, but I like it.

15.  Karmimra (Kara Danvers/Mon-El/Imra Ardeen)

 Supergirl Season 3

 This is how they could have resolved the Season 3 Love Triangle in a more daring way.

14.  Coldflashwave (Leonard Snart/Barry Allen/Mick Rory)

 The Flash Season 1-3

 Many fans love this one. Leonard would surly be up for it.

13.  Hawkatomcanary (Kendra Saunders/Ray Palmer/Sara Lance)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 1

 In „Left Behind“ this was kind of canon in the beginning. Left behind in the past those three moved in together for a couple of months, so … who knows what happened?

12.  Steelatomhacker (Nate Heywood/Ray Palmer/Zari Tomaz)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 3-4

 The dynamic trio after the ending of Season 3 in Team Legends – the best of friends and Zari and Nate later ended up becoming an item, even though she previously seemd more interested in Ray.

11.  Roguecanary (Leonard Snart/Mick Rory/Sara Lance)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 1-2

 Blame the barfight in the pilot for this one. Fans were very taken with this trio.

  10.  Rogueatom (Leonard Snart/Mick Rory/Ray Palmer)

 Legends Season 1-2

 Another trio spawned by the early episodes of the show, when Ray became an interim Rogue of sorts.

  9.      Karawel (Kara Danvers/Winn Schott/Mon-El)

 Supergirl Season 2-3, 5

 Winn needs love in his life, so why shouldn’t he find it with two of his best friends who are desperatly in love with each other?

 8.      OliverYamashiro (Oliver Queen/Tatsu Yamashiro/Maseo Yamashiro)

 Arrow Season 3

 This kind of was the point of Season 3s Flashback Arc. Oliver became an interim member of the Yamashiro family, so this would have been the next logical step if Akio hadn’t met his end like this.

 7.      Snowbertallen (Caitlin Snow/Julian Albert/Barry Allen)

 The Flash Season 3

 Snowberry-., Allenbert-, and Snowbert-Fans all come together through this ship.

6.       Coldwestallen (Leonard Snart/Iris West/Barry Allen)

 The Flash Season 2-3

 The Season 2 Christmas Episode gave birth to this rather popular ship. Iris und Leonard did not interact much on the show, but still this is a ship on fire.

 5.      Tauriver (Tommy Merlyn/Laurel Lance/Oliver Queen)

 Arrow Season 1

 This would have been the preferable solution to the Season 1 Love Triangle.

 4.      Irivarry (Iris West/Oliver Queen/Barry Allen)

 Arrow/The Flash, The Flash Season 1-2, Invasion!, Crisis on Earth-X, Elseworlds, Crisis on Infinite Earths

 Oliver deserved better, why not with the man he is cleary crazy in love with and this mans loving wife, who has him on her cheating list?

3.      Atomsteelwavevixen (Ray Palmer/Nate Heywood/Mick Rory/Amaya Jiwe)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 2-3

 Those four were great friends and more among each other, often hung out in pairs or as trios or as a foursome, and they loved each other very much. This should have been canon.

2.      Captains3 (Sara Lance/Rip Hunter/Leonard Snart)

 Legends of Tomorrow Season 1-2

 If Sara und Leonard and Sara and Rip and Leonard and Rip would not work out, maybe Sara, Leonard and Rip together would work. I know I am literally the only one who ships them, but I do. I really do.

1.      Westhallen (Iris West/Eddie Thawne/Barry Allen)

 The Flash Season 1-3

 Love Triangle? What Love Triangle? This is my OTP don’t judge me.
