PRECIOUS BROTHERS

[one-time-i-dreamt]

My sibling stole half of my potatoes.

Acknowledging the grim reality of their underwhelming romantic prospects, chronic disorganization, and lackluster employment outlook, the adult Patterson children confirmed Friday that the onus of giving their parents grandchildren had been placed on the least fucked-up sibling. “At least Liz has a job and lives in her own apartment,” said oldest sibling Matthew Patterson, adding that his younger sister was the only child without a criminal record or suffering from a crippling addiction to drugs or alcohol.

You all should be familiar with my twin, Sonata, by now. But this is the first comic appearance of my eldest brother, Shack! He's almost a decade older than Sonata and me, so he's essentially from a different generation. But I love him very, very much, and I'm glad I could finally get him into a comic.

Peter was with hydra for years before he left. He didn’t question anything they did - wasn’t allowed to - until he met Morgan.

His goals changed instantly from ‘do as you’re told’ to ‘protect this girl’. When they tried to take her for testing, he broke both of them out leaving a trail of blood behind him.

He got them far enough away, found an empty shipment container for them and stole some food. He didn’t speak to her, no matter how hard she tried to get him to. He wasn’t good with words and he hadn’t spoken in over a year by now. He was stupidly still afraid of punishment.

He didn’t know what foods were good and which ones were bad. He had never had to make a choice before in his life - in fact, choices were actively taken away. He got her whatever looked edible on the shelf. She complained about the taste a lot. She taught him that he should close his mouth while he chews. He was used to a liquid diet.

He kept them hidden, stole money from strangers, hats and scarves from park benches and the back of chairs. It was easy, keeping a low profile. They went to the fair because Morgan asked him to. He didn’t know what a fair was, but Morgan had asked him and he wasn’t made to disobey orders.

He had what Morgan described as fun, rode some roller coasters and dominated in all of the games to win her the biggest stuffed animal. She seemed happy to be out of the container. It had been a few weeks by now.

Peter made the mistake of getting comfortable.

He knew he had to be alert in case hydra agents managed to find them. They could take them back. They could take Morgan away.

What he hadn’t counted on was Morgan having a search party looking for her. Especially not one that consisted of a whole team of enhanced people.

But if he had to fight a team of avengers to keep Morgan safe, he would.

Mannerisms That Could Be Shared Among Spren-Human Pairs in the Cosmere

As (sort of) requested by anon37. :)

[THIS POST CONTAINS MILD WAT SPOILERS!]

Our requester was inspired by this post by @thephilosophersapprentice, about how Syl and Kaladin might adopt each other's mannerisms. And they asked if I could write something based on this post. So if spren/human pairs beyond Syl & Kaladin shared mannerisms, here are some examples I think could be real!

Shallan humming to herself--not musically. More of a straight HMMM sound.

Shallan using "Delicious!" as a compliment (and not in reference to food).

Shallan saying, "Shallan! Shallan!" to herself to hype herself up.

Shallan walking with a bouncing gait, reminiscent of Pattern's excited bouncing.

Shallan vibrating when excited.

Pattern spinning around a cremling, seemingly in interest.

Rua sticking himself to walls.

Lopen begging a gem for "more arms" so as to "be able to keep up with Rua" while Rua gestures in solidarity beside him.

Lopen talking more and more with his hands--and sometimes without verbal speech at all.

Jasnah adopting some of Ivory's speech patterns, especially when tired.

Jasnah seeming to draw herself up, to make herself bigger to command attention.

Ivory adjusting his hair or makeup before entering a room, despite not really having either.

Hoid "breasting boobily" down the stairs. Somehow.

Design staring hawkishly at things.

Dalinar using what some people call the "Stormfather voice" when he wants to command attention.

Dalinar walking in straight lines without a care for obstacles.

The Stormfather quoting the Way of Kings, seemingly without realizing it.

Lift saying, "Oh dear!" and then seeming to regret it.

Wyndle saying, "Shit!" and then seeming to regret it.

Venli cupping her hands in a protective gesture.

Timbre pulsing out the rhythms of some of Venli's favorite songs.

Navani referring to the "rooms" or "tunnels" or "citizens" of her own body, seemingly without noticing any oddness.

The Sibling developing a morbid curiosity that frankly scares them.

Glys shimmering in time to Renarin's stimming.

Teft using a "Phendorana voice" when needing to be strict.

Teft using a "Phendorana glare" when needing to be intimidating.

Adolin greeting his friends with "Hey, sluts."

Maya and Adolin constantly mirroring each other's positions when sitting near each other.

Maya and Adolin walking in step.

Maya flirting with women. Badly.
