Logically speaking, it makes sense to do anything you want on Friday! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

[pratchettquotes]

That evening the men were practicing archery on the green. Bill Door had carefully ensured a local reputation as the worst bowman in the entire history of toxophily; it had never occurred to anyone that putting arrows through the hats of bystanders behind him must logically take a lot more skill than merely sending them through a quite large target a mere fifty yards away.

It was amazing how many friends you could make by being bad at things, provided you were bad enough to be funny.

SANZINIONS —

I didn't want Hamza and Yalina to have a child.

I'm not saying people in dangerous jobs can never have kids. But in Hamza's case, he was a deep undercover spy whose entire identity was fake.

Every day carried the risk of betrayal or exposure. Bringing Zayan into that world didn't just add joy, it added a massive point of leverage that was ultimately used against them.

Yes, agents are human and imperfect. But when you're living that kind of life, you have to be extra realistic about what 'settling down' actually means.

A child isn't just a family milestone, it's another life that can be threatened because of you.

Idk about y'all, but it's better being safe than sorry. By the time Yalina got pregnant, he was already ruling Lyari. He had enough power to go against societal norms if he wanted to. Choosing not to have a child would’ve been the safer, more responsible decision.

The only justification I can think of is that it was Yalina’s choice. If it was his choice, I'm side eyeing. She was an adult, she knew what kind of life Hamza was living, and the risks that came with it.

But even then… most of the responsibility still falls on him.

Let me break y’all’s delulu. <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>

If you’ve already realised, good. If not, here it is.

We all know Jaskirat returned home… but not really. Not Punjab, not Lyari. He looks at us like he’s questioning: which way should he go?

A lot of people have different opinions; some think he’d choose his Punjab family, others think he’d go to Vancouver to live with Yalina and Zayan. But let’s use a little logic.

For Pakistan/Lyari, he was Hamza. But for ISI/Omar and the people who caught him, the ones who knew he was an Indian agent, if they ever find out he’s in contact with Yalina and Zayan, Jameel Jamali (a Pakistani politician), then everyone is done for.

Yalina aur Zayan toh jayenge hi… saath mein Jameel aur pura spy network bhi. If Jameel gets caught, the other assets are done too.

So yes, he’ll probably never return to them.

Now about his Punjab family: what is he even going to say? That he’s alive? What has he been doing for 15+ years? That he accidentally killed Pinda... his sister’s husband? He’ll only bring back pain and bad memories.

Honestly, it’s a miracle that Yalina, Zayan, and everyone connected to him stayed safe even after Omar found out he was a spy. Warna Ravindra Kaushik ka case sabko pata hai.

To justify it a bit, it was Omar who found out, not the entire ISI. They probably assumed he was a single-network spy, and everything happened too fast, Yalina calling Jameel, Jameel calling Sanyal, and Sanyal reaching the ISI chief.

Thank you for reading my rant.

It didn’t come as a shock to him when Hinata was an exceptionally easy person to be with. Their conversations were easy, their silences weren’t uncomfortable, but it felt like they were out with Mirai again as friends. Both admitted it at the end of the night, when he was walking her home.

“Maybe doing something more romantic would help?” She offered.

“Maybe. Want to try holding hands or something?” He held his hand out to her as they continued walking. She took his hand, and they easily intertwined their fingers. It was a bit awkward, but it wasn’t unpleasant at all. “Not bad, huh?”

She laughed softly, looking up at the stars. “Yes. Not bad.”

“Let’s go on another date tomorrow. We can grab lunch at that place near the Hokage tower during my break.”

“That sounds nice.”

When they made it back to the Hyuuga Compound, Hiashi was waiting for them in front of the entrance. Hinata pulled her hand away from his when she saw him, putting more physical distance between them. Hiashi had caught it anyway, but said nothing as they stopped in front of him.

Shikamaru bowed deeply. “It’s a pleasure to see you, Hyuuga-sama,” he greeted politely.

“And you. It seems as though you’re enjoying your time with my daughter,” the older man pointed out.

The Nara straightened back up and looked into the man’s eyes. “Yes. Hinata is a wonderful person and friend. I’m hoping to become more.”

Hiashi tilted his head, a ghost of a smile on his face. “You may have her hand if you submit a marriage proposal to me.”

Hinata’s eyes widened.

“I’d like to date her first,” Shikamaru replied. “If she ends up not liking me, I don’t want to have forced her into a marriage.”

The Hyuuga head stared at him for a moment before turning away. “Very well. Hinata, you may continue dating him, and marry him if you wish to.” Then, he walked away, his pleased smile hidden to them both.

When they were alone again, Shikamaru took her hand again. “Your father likes me.”

She nodded. “I’m a bit surprised he agreed to a marriage so easily.” Though part of her felt a bit disappointed that he didn’t seem too concerned with her at the same time. He was able to give his blessing so easily.

He shook his head. “That was a test,” he assured her. “If I had picked to marry you right away, he wouldn’t have trusted me to see you as your own person with wants and needs.” He could read her mind clearly.

She smiled at him, thankful for his assessment. “Thanks, Shika.” She squeezed his hand before letting it go and waving. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

He walked backward, smiling lazily at her. “Remember to woo me, too,” he teased. She giggled and nodded. “Good. I’ll be waiting, then.” He waved and turned, leaving her there with a satisfied smile.

THE MEME BELOW IS NOT MINE, HERE'S MY SOURCE

As an INTJ, I saw this meme and was like "Wait. Other people aren't like that"? So I asked my ESFJ mom and she said no, obviously. Meanwile, for me, this concept is new. What do you mean you don't make a pros and cons list the second you find someone appealing? What do you mean you don't figure out the potential problems you could face in the future? What do you mean you don't regularly talk yourself out of crushes if there are too many cons?
