ooc / liam + david

[davidlennoxtfs]

THIS RELATIONSHIP THO LIZZY Ok so I think David def knows Liam doesn’t like or trust him but tbh I don’t think that bothers David much. In fact, I think he prefers to think ppl are wary around him etc (smh). Yknow the whole ‘power lies where men believe it does’ + ‘there’s power in fear’ type thing????? #facepalm Anyway despite all that, I def think David respects Liam a lot. He’s principled, hardworking, and he perseveres (listen up, Harry). I think that sometimes causes Liam to act contrary to David’s interests but at least he can respect his motivation. I mean, that wouldn’t stop him from ruining Liam if he thought he had to, but he’d at least try to spare his dignity so…yeah? Sigh. But I think all of them goes to underscore the fact that David’s…methods aren’t what they might be. At all. And Liam isn’t wrong about him. At all. Hahaha

David def prefers to alert the authorities and let them have at it but tbh if he caught the third in his house, himself, he’s take matters into his own hands. And you already know about the cane hahaha I think David def had mafia ties when he was younger but I do think he’s at least mostly legal now, but he did pick up some tricks and I think he tends to pay a hefty price for his temper in literally writing his victims checks to have them drop charges etc. so Liam probs knows that David does these things but can’t act on it also David would def say something like “I pay the price for my temper” if Liam ever brought it up and be amused by himself smh. Still, David is v glad to have a conscientious defender pursuing the funds though I feel like (bitch better have my money plays in the bg) the case isn’t moving fast enough for him and he also occasionally has Aileen work on it too (when she isn’t keeping an eye on Harry) or just waltzes into the precinct like “need I remind you sheriff of this ongoing conundrum” serial killers be hanged, someone else is enjoying David’s money and they MUST BE STOPPED ;DDDDD Tbh, Nick supports Liam in this belief like 1763157378996339842% and would love to put both of them behind bars - and as far away from his sisters as humanly possible. I think David doesn’t mind giving off that kind of aura and its v studied but tbh he DOES come by it naturally even so. It wouldn’t bother him that Liam suspects him it’s only bother him if he ever slipped up enough to actually give Liam the possibility of moving against him *facapalms into space*

[liamrhodestfs]

I feel like Liam feels weird about David b/c while he def does not like him, he also realizes that this town would not run w/o him??? Like he owns and controls so much and that if he would die it would all pass to Harry and at least David get stuff done -- Liam just knows Harry as the kid who gets brought down to the station like every week and always leaves with a clean record. And like in a weird way this town needs David?? Liam just wishes he was a better person hahaha

OMMMGGG but yeah if Liam knew that David has a temper and has literALLY beaten ppl  but settled it w/ cash he would be soooo not okay with it. I think he’s just waiting for him to slip and actually kill someone and he hates that he can’t do anything about it until it gets to that point since he always gets away w/ it and THAT FRUSTRATES THE HELL OUT OF LIAM

OKAY but David coming down to the station to bitch about them not returning his things/catching the thief especially when people are being straight up murdered, Liam would NOT take that sitting down like he’d be like WE ARE LITERALLY TRYING TO SAVE A LIFE HERE I’M SORRY THAT YOUR WALL IS BARE. And like he’d calm down enough to be like “we still have officers on your case, but it’s just not a priority right now”

ooc / nick + liam

nicholascoletfs:

Omg these two though #confetti Ok so I feel like Nick is also v passionate about what they do as well but def not to the extent Liam is like Nick def knows how to relax and joke and yeah.  I mean, when he’s actually on a job, like chasing someone down or something, he’s def v srs, but I think when it’s just paperwork he’s kinda wanting to goof off and def trying to get Liam to relax and maybe crack an uneasy smile (bc he’s not sure he dares hope for anything more that that).  He’s like, “You’re gonna give yourself a heart attack and then the only parent Peter will have is Lorraine and I don’t think you can possibly wish that on anyone, seeing as how you didn’t even want to live in the same house with her for long.”  

No, but he’s like, “We got this.  You go eat/sleep/take care of yourself/whatever”  But I feel like Nick is v used to dealing w workaholics and being understanding but firm about that workaholism bc I get the sense that Susan pushes herself too hard to be her younger siblings’ mom and he’s used to being all, “Step back, take a deep breath, and have a little faith.  We’ve got this“ etc  I feel like I’m not making sense??????

I’m really sorry b/c if Nick is trying to get him to loosen up at work, there’s every chance that Liam says something dumb like “we don’t have time for that, officer cole.” or whatever like v sternly idk i mean he definitely KNOWS that Nick takes this seriously -- he does, he just gets soooo dialed in and he literally has no sense of humor when he’s on duty even when he’s doing paperwork and idk I did NOT expect him to be this serious at work but ???? 

All the same, he doesn’t mean it as an insult or like questioning Nick’s dedication, b/c he knows it’s there, etc. but he doesn’t want any distractions. Especially when there’s sERIAL KILLeRS on the loose. Like it’s one thing when all they have are thieves, but lives are at stake and he’s so determined not to have anyone else die that he doesn’t realize that like RELAXING FOR A MOMENT MIGHT DO HIM SOME GOOD!??!!? 

Anyway, if Nick has been a cop for awhile, he probably knows that Liam is just ~in the zone~ when he says things like that and whatever, especially if they have seen each other outside of work b/c he’s a much more relaxed guy then (even if he is still not completely dialed out b/c THE KILLER COULD BE HERE GUYS OKAY) 

Also, he would never ever leave if Nick said stuff like that to him. I mean, even if he DId I feel ike he’d end up walking around his apartment not really knowing what to do with himself and he has too much going on in his head to sleep or even eat and would probably just end up sitting down and working on things anyway #facepalm

ooc / jack + liam

I CRY B/C I FEEL LIKE LIAM WOULD ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE JACK?!?!? Right up until that awkward moment when he realizes that he’s behind the kidnappings #awkard

[liamrhodestfs]

ooc / aileen + liam

since she’s a PI these two could potentially know each other?? 

[liamrhodestfs]

ooc / nick + liam

okay so i feel like liam is HELLA intense while on the job and he def does not have time for doing anything but work when he’s on the clock and idk he can even be a bit of a hardass bUT he’s def way more chill after hours and I can see him going out w/ some of the other cops for a beer or whatever after work and idk ACTUALLY smiling/laughing sometimes ;DD ANYWAY I do think that he’d really like Nick + I can see them getting on pretty well most of the time??

[liamrhodestfs]

ooc / liam + david

um these two wow?!??!!? i feel like they definitely know each other and i really don’t think that liam likes david that much. I feel like Liam knows a lot of people who have been down on their luck and then got kicked out of the place or whatever b/c they couldn’t pay David and like stuff like that doesn’t sit well w/ Liam. I mean, he knows that David is running a business not a charity but I think there’s been a lot of situations where Liam would have cut ppl slack and David hasn’t haha. 

All that being said, he’s still a citizen of this town and he’s being robbed and so Liam is v dedicated to figuring out what’s going on there and returning his stolen property, etc. Although it’s being less and less of a priority now that ppl are dying/going missing. 

I also think that Liam is kinda suspicious of David?? Kind of in the same way that Nick is suspicious of Elias like he would NOT be surprised to find out that he’s involved in some kind of illegal dealings but ofc he has no proof or anything but I think he also kinda has his eye on him.

OOC | Peter & Liam

As sad as this little family can get, I think we can all agree it’s head and shoulders above our other father/son here ;DDDDD Also, Peter def prefers to do homework at the precinct than the theatre soooo ;DDDDD

[liamrhodestfs]

HAHAHAHAHAH omg but actually. Not that beating out David/Harry takes much b/c um whoa?!?!?!?!?!?!? ;DDDD 

But ahhhh! Liam definitely loves when Peter comes down to the precinct tbh. I mean, he’s def in hardcore!work mode and I think that’s a slightly different guy than the guy he is on weekends w/ his son b/c he’s soooo serious and intense when he’s working, but I do think that he’s still a little softer around his son than he is when he’s not there, but yeah. And I don’t think he like ever takes breaks normally, but I can see him doing that when Peter’s there and taking a few minutes to talk to him, etc. b/c I do think that they don’t have nearly as much time together as Liam would like and he tries to fit Peter in whenever/wherever he can <3

intro / sheriff liam michael rhodes

all liam wants is for everyone to be safe and happy

is that really too much to ask?

yes, yes it is

he’s always tried to do the right thing

he doesn’t always know what that is but he tries 

he’s always looked out for other people, but especially those who can’t defend themselves

the rhodes have lived in this town since forever and liam loves it here

he literally loves everything about it

except for the serial killer??

and the random disappearing ppl

not to mention the damn art thieves

he’s literally married to his job

and this peak in crime isn’t exactly making it easy for him to do anything else

he takes his job VERY seriously. it’s definitely his #1 priority and he basically has a “i’ll sleep when the streets are clean” mentality but there’s always gonna be cases that go unsolved so liam is always going to be working

when liam was in college he had a one night stand with lorraine pennington and whoops nine months later he had a kid

liam has never been the kind of guy to have one night stands so ofc the one time he did, he became a father

he was determined to do the right thing for the kid, so he married lorraine

it was probably one of the most hasty decisions he’s ever made

still even though it didn’t work out, he doesn’t regret it

while he knows that the divorce couldn’t have been fun for peter, they were able to give him an early childhood where they were all together and liam hopes that that was better than nothing

tbh he really wanted to stick out the marriage at least until peter was eighteen but lol that didn’t exactly happen

anyway, peter means the world to him and he def fought tooth and nail to get custody but in the end, he lost and now he only gets peter on every other weekend

tbh it might be better that way b/c even tho peter is literally the most important thing in the world to liam, his job will always come first (this is mostly BC he cares so much for peter that he’s determined to make this town a good place for him to grow up, but at the same time, peter’s had to suffer for it)

i feel like liam is the parent who always arrives hours late for award ceremonies/science fairs/whatever peter’s doing and most of the time misses peter if he gets there at all

he REALLY does try tho and he makes a point to take off every other weekend (doesn’t always work out but y’know) so he can do things with peter when he comes by

he loves taking him camping/fishing/hiking and showing him things 

liam also just likes to ~escape~ and clear his head, too, from time to time

he believes in second, but not third, chances

uses violence only as a last resort

is VERY serious on the job but def more laid back when he isn’t on duty

he gets very dialed in when he’s at work and idk he’s pretty intense 

literally has like zero chill at work tbh

holds himself and the other officers to very high standards

He’s soooo incredibly proud of Peter

brags about him a lot tbh

Liam is alone most of the time and he’s cool w/ that but he’d be lying if he said that coming home to a dark, empty house doesn’t get lonely

when he’s not working and he doesn’t have peter he really has NO idea what to do with himself

what??? is???? relaxing?????

when he has time off and he’s alone he probably just works anyway smh
