the most interesting bit about pluribus is that it’s helen all the way down.
carol loves helen, bases raban on helen which makes the hive pick zosia because she looks like reban which basically means she looks like helen
carol falls for her because she looks like reban. because she has helen’s memories. because helen is dead and buried but she’s also alive and standing in front of her and dead and here and she doesn’t want them to have her memories but it does.
#MYILYA does not use recreational drugs outside of weed ever since moving to Boston (not because of the implicit wrongness of doing drugs bc that’s not entirely true). Think about it. The man’s mother overdosed on drugs, yes it was on purpose but still. His asshole brother clamors for his money to abuse coke. Ilya, especially before Greigori passes, has insurmountable pressure and expectations to be the best and always be at the top. He wouldn’t couldn’t risk all that for a shady key in the back of a club.
What is with all the Troy Barrett hate lately??? I swear to god the only reason Shane wouldn’t like him is bc he reminds him of himself and all the shit he let slide bc he was afraid of being called weird or different. Every time he sees Troy he sees himself not telling the Montreal guys to stop making sexist comments and to lay off on the gay jokes. Every time he sees Troy he sees himself in his high school locker room not telling his assistant captain that the racist jokes he was making weren’t funny. Troy and Shane are both in the “boys who stayed silent and regret it” club.
I am compiling a list of Luca Haas fic recs (unfortunately not many Hollanov threesomes) but I will succeed in spreading Haasy’s nervous gay vibes to everyone in this fandom (threat).
The montage in the credits of Deadpool and Wolverine made the whole film feel like a love letter to all the shit Fox films.
The movies that were never as well received as the mcu films. The films that were rebooted and then rebooted again. Deadpool 3 feels like an ode to the films that were guilty pleasures, never mainstream successes.
It was like they were saying “yes, they were a little shit, but we had fun, right?”
robby's biggest crime this season is his delusion that this shift would be the Perfect Last Shift before he kills himself even thought its the literal fourth of july.
robby has clearly decided to leave this mortal coil. this man has looked at himself in the mirror and gone "yep, i'm outta here. peace sign, sunglasses emoji." he has very obviously made a plan and not a last minute plan where he throws back some pills and takes a nap, no, he has carefully constructed a plan surrounding his last few days and nights. who he's saying goodbye to. what he's doing with his stuff. how he's going to leave his mark but life does not work that way.
al hashimi has come in guns blazing because she cannot have the staff thinking she's a pushover, that she's a placeholder until robby comes back and they don't have to listen to her. she's making herself known and planting herself right in, AS SHE SHOULD but the problem is it messes with robbys perfect plan.
dana stopping smoking means shes more irritable, which messes with his perfect plan of her being happy the last time he sees her. jack coming in early means he sees more of robby being unwell which messes with his perfect plan because he offers help.
maybe robby wanted to be gone before langdon got back so langdon didn't feel like he had to make amends to him, because maybe robby feels like langdon doesn't owe him that. HE failed langdon, he shouldn't apologies. now he has to be mean to keep him away, messing with the perfect plan.
the hospital is failing and he's needed. his staff are struggling. mohan might be having a heart attack and he can't kill himself if she's dying.
but then it's a panic attack.
everyone is supposed to be okay before he goes. now his perfect plan is ruined. he's sifted the days around in his head and its all a mess. if she was physically sick he can do something about it but he's got to push his DOD back. except she's not so he can still commit today, but he'd braced for impact already.
he's not mad at her. he's mad at himself. he's supposed to be ready to let go. he's not.
something something something Price has to hire a new secretary. his old one left to take care of her aging mother and while he’s sad to see her go, he’s also relieved. she was a fucking spectacular secretary but my god was she a gentle soul. he caught her crying after she accidentally squished a bug once. how she’d managed under his employment, he had no fucking idea.
no, now he’s hiring someone new and he’s shitting it. he wanted someone older, less mid to late 30’s, more mid to late 60’s. no, instead he ends up with a woman whose mid to late 20’s.
he thinks the lads will eat her alive.
Soap is the youngest of his family, two older sisters who were more like bonus mums cause he was an oopsie baby. Ghost of course had a brother. he himself is the eldest of five boys. Gaz is… well, he grew up around all his cousins so at least he’s not completely crippled in that way.
she starts her first shift, all is well. second one too. third is grand. fourth is a little tense cause Soap called her a barn owl cause she’s always quiet with big eyes looking around.
fifth? the warfare fucking begins.
first she tells Ghost she loves his halloween costume!
it’s fucking February.
then she tricks Soap into trying to say purple burglar alarm. follows up the disastrous attempts with a soft little click of sympathy and explains that sometimes even adults need speech and language therapy.
every time she sees Gaz? tells him media relations isn’t in this building and that the actors for the recruitment ads have to report to HR. refused to believe he’s a solider.
prints out several mission reports for Ghost in size 6 font and then suddenly, the printer is jammed and there’s just no way it’ll be fixed in time for his briefing.
Price shows up sans hat and asks her to unlock his office because he left his keys at home?
she slowly picks up the phone, not breaking eye contact, and rings him. maintains eye contact as he pulls his phone out and answers it.
“Captain Price? Yeah, there’s a strange man here asking to be let into your office. He says he’s you but, he’s not wearing a hat so i dunno.”
maintains eye contact the whole time.
starts a rumour that Soap’s middle name is Alisha because his parents wanted another girl and refused to give up the name.
starts a rumour that Ghost drinks tea with the mask on so that when he’s deployed, he can suck the leftover liquid out of the fabric.
starts a rumour that Gaz was a male underwear model in China after he skips a mission thanks to two broken ribs, stating that the reason he can’t go to China is he keeps getting recognised.
starts a rumour that Price glued his hat to his head by accident and that was why he hadn’t seemed to have taken it off in three days.
she inflicts maximum chaos and yet never lets her duties as his secretary slip. she’s fucking incredible at her job!
… and is also the youngest child with two older brothers. unlike Soap though, the age gaps are minimal. she’s just the most experienced rage baiter on base and there’s nothing short of begging for mercy they can do about it.
