the wild thing is jon is the one who ended up throwing out the "i need you"/"i miss you"s, directly to martin's face, while martin ends s4 with at most "be safe", on a /tape/

while martin mainly is like "hey you want some tea" "anyway im not gonna let you Die Again" /self-isolates/

HMM YEP AND THAT’S JUST PERFECT HONESTLY. Jon was the one who was grumpy and hostile at the start while Martin was just trying to Be Fucking Nice, then Jon was the one who pushed everyone away while Martin desperately tried to hold everyone together. So it’s so much more satisfying to see Jon be blatant and honest about how much he cares, specifically to Martin.

Over three seasons, Jon finally learned he needs people. Not just needs them to be okay and exist in some vague, distant way but actually needs them around him, both to keep him steady and stable and because it’s an emotional necessity. 

Martin seemed to believe he needed people from the beginning, but a lot of his behavior trying to connect with them or even help them connect with each other resulted in him being pushed away, sometimes really harshly. In a way, he ended up learning the opposite lesson - that he can’t connect with people. He can try to take care of them and try to keep them safe and have them in that vague, distant way, but not the way that matters. (And naturally Peter swoops in like sup, I see you’ve done half the work for me already.)

There’s about a dozen different things going on in that “let’s gouge our eyes out together” conversation, and there are a lot of reasons Martin doesn’t believe Jon is serious. But I think one of them is that Martin hears Jon say that he trusts him and wants to leave with him, he can sense the intense emotions behind Jon’s words, (especially when he says ‘together,’) and goes “hmm sounds fake.” 

“Every joke about Martin stealing millions of pounds from Peter Lukas...”

once read a post-159 fic where basira was like 'okay you both need to get the fuck outta here, wait do you have any money' and martin leaves the room and comes back with a fat stack of cash because the amount of calls required to get martin a company card wouldve killed him

Actual footage of Martin fleeing London after 159:

do it for him (mark hulmes)

INCREDIBLE

HM yeah i think that’s it 

need the Fluff..... the impression of Fur definitely. communicates the characters so much better i think 

like. we’ve still got skin tight body suits here but the little tufts of fur around her shoulders/etc makes it look so much better 

yes

alternatively, use alfur

okay, here’s the thing, i considered Alfur but he’s too sweet. I need that raw chaotic energy so i don’t feel guilty about doing bad things to my PC’s (well. so i feel less guilty. i know myself.)

I’m seriously considering this in addition! But again, he just doesn’t have the right vibe for someone i can non-judgmentally work through my plot issues at. His job is to make you roll well so we don’t all die.

"DC must pay for their crimes against Hal Jordan" is the real mood tbh

2) Three songs that show their character progression.

I challenged myself and didn’t pick songs on my character playlist

Whiskey Fever- Dorothy

What the Water Gave Me- Florence and the Machine
