confidence games are something that molly and fjord played so much and how incredible is it that fjord feels comfortable enough to fumble? what a difference from the beginning of the campaign! he was alone! he had to appear In Control or he'd get taken advantage of, it was how he stayed safe. Now he has the Nein, and Jester always at his side, and, yes, even Kingsley, and he allows himself to be silly and make mistakes and doesn't prioritize saving face. In the midst of a crisis he knows exactly what to do, that's his area of expertise, he's a master tactician and a great leader who prioritizes keeping his crew safe, he's just new at the whole captaining day-to-day thing and he's no longer afraid to show it.

kingsley, on the other hand. ooooh i love him so much. VERY true that he's brand new to living life and on top of that he comes by being a little shit honestly. on the other hand!!! "there will always be respect there. it might not look like it, but it's always there." "i've been wanting to go on one of your adventures and so far? it hasn't disappointed." "i'm trying to make new mistakes, I promise." i promise. Kingsley is the new-old guy in this group, the one they're explaining in-jokes to, telling stories to, teasing and protecting. he's a lot like the younger brother of a dearly beloved dead friend, loved on his own merit but with the unavoidable impact of those who came before him shaping his relationships. fjord talks about lucien. jester talks about molly. this is apparently the first time he's talked about either of them with beau and yasha and he's looking for guidance. beau says she'll kill him. fjord say's "we'll see." these people lifted kingsley out of the grave they put his past in and greeted him with open arms and grief and watchfulness. he's learning and watching with them but i don't know if he's grieving yet. i don't know if he will. i think he feels like he owes them something, not in a transactional way or out of guilt for people he isn't, but in the way you want to repay the trust and faith and work a mentor gives you.

I think this is related to their cryptic tweets with Matt and I still have no idea what it means but I'm losing it

HEY TURN THE “BLOWJOB UNDER THE DESK” TROPE ON ITS HEAD SHALL WE????

as a college student i only know college student shit so let’s say you’re working on a paper, it’s a thiccy so you’re maybe sat on the loveseat with your feet on the ottoman instead of at your icky desk and all. fucking. day. he’s been a needy little baby like he doesn’t have his own shit to do??? came up all rom-com-like and closed your laptop, his big hands rubbing at your thighs until you shooed him away, he walked across the living room stark naked under the pretense of wanting champagne during his bath (that you promptly told him to enjoy and he promptly got huffy about), he even just flat out said, “you wanna take a break and go upstairs?”

and so now you’re working on the last couple paragraphs, your brain turned to absolute mush (if you go to thesarus.com one more time...), one leg thrown over the armrest, the other dangling with your toes just barely skimming the floor. he comes over, in a soft sleep shirt and his undies, and plops himself down on the rug next to you, his back resting against the seat so that his broad shoulder is pressing against your knee, his lil baby curls tickling your inner thigh.

“harry...”

“what?” he says, grabbing the remote off the coffee table. “i just miss you, love. just wanna spend some time near you is all.”

Are you tired of being nice??? Dont you ever wanna go full APESHIT on rebornicas au better than they do???? just FLEX on them????
