am i the only one shipping leo and roger? leo and ava too, but that’s basically canon

more importantly, where are all the kaleidoscope fics??

[johnbrannox]

malloraird for the ship ask: 26, 39, 42

Thanks for the ask! I don’t know how good this turned out, but I tried...

26. How do their friends feel about their relationship? Their families?

I have a feeling most of the people around them would have somehow suspected it already. Or at least, it would not come as that much of a surprise to anyone they know. They bicker like an old married couple at the workplace. Everyone can see that Mark is the only military man Adrian seems to have even a modicum of respect for (well... he would never admit to it, of course, but maybe he respects the general and his stalwart nature just a little). Mark, meanwhile, brings up Adrian way too much in casual conversation (and at inopportune moments with his various romantic partners, too). I think the only surprise to anyone is that Mark might actually openly be into men.

In terms of individual reactions:

Their Space Force colleagues would be supportive all round.

Fuck Tony would probably want to tweet about them because it would be great publicity: “The first openly non-straight U.S. military general and his senior citizen boyfriend!!! DIVERSITY!!!”

I think Kelly and Jerome would take it in stride, because really, they already saw it coming a mile away.

Maggie would be all for it: “Hey, we both just found out we're bi and found a same-sex partner! Good for us!”

Erin might be a little upset, because even though she knows now that her parents are in an open relationship, she still doesn't like the idea of anything or anyone taking up more of her father's time when she feels he already doesn't spend enough time with her... but maybe Adrian would integrate into their family life more, and she'd warm up to him eventually? He could help her with her homework, be the cool anti-authority uncle... I definitely see Erin liking Adrian as a person, so maybe she thinks, if her dad was going to be with someone, at least it’s Adrian?

 39. Who initiated the relationship? Who kissed who first?  When did they realize they were in love?

Adrian confessed to loving Mark first, because Mark is too repressed.

Mark kissed Adrian first, because what else does one do when the infuriating scientist you have a secret crush on confesses to loving you?

They first fell in love with one another when they realized they were in fact on the same team: Adrian realizing that Mark is a good person underneath that repressed macho disaster of an exterior, Mark realizing that Adrian does have their mutual best interests at heart even if he acts out whenever he doesn’t get his way…

 42. Do they let each other get away with things that would normally bother them?

Mark lets Adrian get away with being disrespectful of the military, and in return, Adrian lets Mark get away with being military. :p

I love you, you dweeb! Ahaha what a loser...loving me back? 👀

I love you too, my dear! <3

And that’s me all right, your beloved loser! What does that make you then, a loser-lover? :p

I won't be as cruel, so I'll only give four 🍎 🍐🍌🍊

(oh, you know you’re more than welcome to be as cruel as you want... :p)

🍎 :: describe you as if you were a book character or someone in a song

“the young man, dressed like an utter dad, roamed the streets of his hometown in the company of his trusty white familiar...”

i’m not very sure what this question entails either, but there we go, hopefully something like that works!

🍐 :: my first thoughts on the mutual you send from when I met them

way back then, when i was first getting into p&t, coming across your old p&t blog and then the discord server... i always thought you were incredibly cool and so very interesting, and i just really really wanted to be your friend, not knowing that it would be possible one day! :D

🍌 :: characters I think of when I think of my mutual

including but not limited to:

general mark r. naird (because you’re the mark to my mallory!)

michael from the good place

mr robot

zachariah trench

dr. casper darling

🍊  :: song I think of when I I think of my mutual

since you answered with a band, if i were to reply in kind i’d say ghost...

... but also, this is probably ridiculously sentimental of me, but “demons are a girl’s best friend” by powerwolf, because that was the first song rec you gave me, so long ago now

[johnbrannox]

I haven’t been this actively obsessed with a new-to-me actor in such a long time…

My mind is in the gutter trying to manufacture scenarios for fics that I’d like to see…

Should make an OC and cast him as it 😭

Ahhhhh and the sad thing is I’m not sure if it’s easy for me to find fan material for his works, and I feel alone

[johnbrannox]

I feel so lost. I'm not sure what exactly it is I want to do in life. There are so many things I want to do, but I don't have the passion nor the motivation to actively pursue them. Not to mention I can't do any of them well at all.

:/

dreamt my partner told me i should behave and reply to things in a silly, over-the-top way to keep my depression at bay lol

also dreamt i went to the supermarket to look at desserts. and that an acquaintance online suggested i look at getting more paper qualifications for piano
