Hockey rules I never knew about.

#absolutely obsessed with joe as an odysseus figure despite the achilles comparisons#this is relevant to the gifset i swear#because we all know the next line is ‘you can’t’ but joe and nicky ARE happy#if anyone is achilles here it is andy#kleos attained in the most PRACTICAL sense of the term#she has touched the divine. she has been the divine. she is immortal through song.#she has left her trace in history! and she has paid for that in love and blood#and displacement - her homeland is no more#but joe… joe is nostos#joe is the man that gets to come home#forget achilles and patroclus what’s more joenicky than a man who crossed the sea and tricked death#to come back to a lover so entirely devoted to him she spent more than a decade weaving and unweaving tapestry#and recognized him by the color of his words alone#ANYWAY. SORRY FOR BEING ME#tog#andromache of scythia#yusuf al kaysani#nicolo di genova#quynh#booker#nile freeman#shit let’s start a band @lgbtmazight ’s tags!!!

I love the fact that even after 900-? years you can tell they aren’t completely blase about death and injury - the way they check on each other when they’ve been hurt, the way they comfort each other when they’re hurt. Andy was obviously scared for Booker when he was hit by the grenade, and they all checked in with each other after the ambush. Nicky trying to protect Joe when he was being stabbed, and Joe’s big  breath of relief when Nicky woke up from being shot. They may heal but they still don’t want each other to be hurt, and they may be immortal but they still fear losing each other and I love it.
