I remember I read a fic a long ass time ago where reader tried her best to look past EJ’s cannibalism and couldn’t.

Slowly their relationship decayed and he would break down in front of her after returning from a hunt (guilt complex), but she had become numb to it and would deadass just walk around him to clean up the blood on the floor.

Jack had to make the decision to stop coming home to her, and just vanished one day because he loved her too much to scare her.

I think about it a lot like ME PERSONALLY. Maybe I’m crazy or maybe I’m just correct. But ME. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. PERSONALLY.

That’s my baby daddy these civilians mean nothing to me. FUCK these hoes and FUCK their mamas.

You’d have to pull me off his body with a crane. Surgically removed even. Skin to skin balls to the wall they’d have to use telekinesis I’m so seriously. Latched on like a famished leech. 18th century plague doctor typa attachment. Readers fumble in that fic shaped me into who I am. Generational debt was burdened upon her blood line I can feel it.

Like does Gordon Ramsey fear the heat of a stove? Did Socrates tremble before the pen? Did Alexander Hamilton fail to write the 51 papers?

IF YOU CANT DRIBBLE GET THE FUCKKKKK OFF COURT AND PASS THE BALL SO A REAL SHOOTER CAN SHOOT.

Like sharing his packed lunch with Brian or sternly telling Toby to stay still when he's hurt on a mission, but there's an underlying concern beneath allat gruffness,,,,

cuz he's Timmy tuff knuckles big daddy alpha but he also feels maternal towards Toby like a mother hen

He turns into a mom after reader starts feeding him at home 😭😭😭😭

He pays attention to little things a lot more, and he’ll snap at Toby less if it was a mistake that wasn’t life threatening/mission ruining.

Tim understands better/is more empathetic when Toby or other younger proxies mess up and get overwhelmed because you called him out on how he suppressed all his issues.

He’s good at ignoring stress because it’s what he’s been doing since childhood, and he subconsciously just expected everyone to do the same. Yet after your relationship deepens, his world view shifts a bit.

Your patience and active communication affects his logic more than you know. And since he regards you so highly, he can’t help but think twice before barking at Toby or scolding younger proxies. He can’t help but see your fear and distress reflected in theirs.

If you were thrown into that situation, you’d be terrified even after months or years of exposure. None of them have healthy coping mechanisms, none of them were taught to handle stress. It’s not fair to hold them to his standards because they’re not him.

Tim slowly gets more hesitant yelling at Toby, and then he starts throwing granola bars at him because you always pack him extra. He’ll actually tell Toby he’s done a good job instead of brushing it off as something expected of the boy.

Toby’s super confused at the random change, but it does push him to work harder instead of lashing out because no matter what he does he’s still considered a fuck up/liability. Tim’s approval is everything to him, and it genuinely makes his day if Masky says he’s done well on a job.

Though after their bond has decent footing, Tim tells him about you, and it clicks.

“Okay so all it takes is some loving at home and now you’re a saint.”

Well... Yes and no.

The last time Ryland Grace was CONSCIOUS of any human touch was when he was knocked out. Absolutely true.

But the last human contact he would have had was Yao and Ilyukhina. Who were told that he was scared about panicking during launch and asked to be sedated. Who did all the pre flight checks before the Hail Mary launched. Who would have carefully, gently carried Grace to his bed in the dormitory, made sure he was secure, and initiated his coma procedure.

There would have been love there. Remember Ilyukhina throwing her hands high and saying "welcome to crew!" Remember Yao saying how he hoped Grace would say yes. Remember how much the crew trusted Grace, Stratt's First Officer, the guy who helped them so much, and was so kind to them, and was the one who they entrusted their preferred methods of suicide to. Who thought they were wonderful and brave.

They would have tucked him in. Maybe brushed his hair out of his face. Maybe said something kind to him before initiating their own coma procedures.

Bro looks skinny but when he flexes it's like dude shapeshifted into a whole ass gym

Yeah you'd bully him one day for not having muscles then he'd snap back saying he does have them, so just imagine the shock when you find out your skinny emo boyfriend turns out to have gains

It doesn't help how the hoodie hides his figure too...

hi brian

Who’s more sexually desirable: Scar or Thanos?

No context; no middle ground. Choose your fighter.

thoughts on where ej might be sensitive?

I spent a long time drawing this art. I thought I'd never finish it hahhaha

Habit loves his rabbits 🐇

the concept of star-eating microbes causing a crisis and the solution being the introduction of space wolves to space yellowstone to control the space elk population. i love a good trophic cascade

dr ryland grace immediately pitching "turn the spaceship into a giant centrifuge to generate gravity" and then not balancing his actual centrifuge later on

the entire "life is reason" scene really

grace forgetting to open the mystery alien container in a fume hood AND immediately sticking his nose in it. if we did this in chemistry lab we were executed on the spot

academia drama being one of the cornerstones of grace's character

grace switching through every spectrum setting on the microscope to try to see into the astrophages and not being able to (relatable)

also: the astrophage dying and grace going "ohhh it died..." (very relatable)

grace having his not-scientist buddy Carl to give him frank solutions when he's overthinking. yes, often the solution is just to put the box in another box

copious duct tape usage

just sticking a filter into the path of the petrova line to collect astrophage goop

eva going "so it's alive" when grace tells them the astrophage are moving, and him being like "WELL ok that could be for a lot of reasons" in the tone of someone who doesn't even know where to start explaining why that's a hasty assumption

grace referring to the first new astrophage as his and carl's baby multiple times (HIGHLY relatable)

!! HABIT SCRIBBLE !! :P
