okay just picture the first gif he’s def doing that cause you’ve frustrated him hardcore sexually and he’s really tryna keep it together but knows he’s gonna lose
Man, Palamedes suggesting that the Sixth call in an expert from the Ninth to help overhaul their skeletal servitors really hits hard on just how much the Ninth is diminished. Harrow was maintaining the Ninth’s infrastructure mostly on her own. How many Ninth experts are there left to call on? Twenty? Fifty? Twelve? One?
Omg don’t hide this in the tags!!
need the AU fic that’s just Harrow and Gideon showing up in increasingly improbable disguises for all these different “experts” Pal needs and Cam and Pal just keep their poker faces on so they think they’re fooling them
and the requests keep escalating because Pal wants to know how far Harrow will go for this and it just devolves into a weird game of necromancy chicken and Camilla and Gideon are just… in the room, communicating with their eyebrows. They’re friends at this point, probably, but they haven’t said a word to each other.
The one problem here is that Gideon would notbe able to maintain her poker face. She would not be doing eyebrow communication. She would be leaning on the hilt of her greatsword weepingwith laughter because this just gets funnier and funnier the longer it goes on. She’s pretty sure that sooner or later she and Harrow are going to be wearing false moustaches, and when that happens she will Legitimately Die.
you are completely correct, and I have no answer for that, but there will absolutely be fake moustaches. this AU was entirely conceived as a means to force them to wear fake moustaches. They will both have them. Gideon is dying inside. This moustache is fake, and it itches and tickles her nose, and Camilla is smirking at her because she knows, but Gideon can’t flip her off until she’s out of both their necromancers’ line of sight
i think the funniest option would be: everyone knows that gideon is faking every position, which also have increasingly ludicrous job titles ranging from “chief bone carrier” (lugging around bones for harrow) to “ninth house customer service rep” (listening to complaints about harrow). whenever someone asks her what she and harrow really do, gideon just says “we do bones, motherfucker”
this pattern continues and by the time gideon shows up to canaan house as the cavalier primary who could not be more obviously not the cav primary, everyone just goes “sure why the fuck not”
I also wanna put it out there that when Palamedes was trying to get an expert from the Ninth House to come in, he wasn’t even fourteen. Harrow would’ve been ten, maybe eleven. Her parents just died. They get a request, and can’t not show up, so now she has the option to either admit they only have a ten year old bone expert left or go with Ortus and Gideon, make Gideon carry her around on her shoulders the entire time while she wears a huge ass cloak that hides the fact that there’s another person underneath, and hope they pass as one whole adult.
No one buys it because Harrow is ten and even with the paint on just has an obvious child face, but people simply do not have the heart to tell this kid that her disguise is rather poor. The general assumption is that the Ninth House didn’t think helping the Sixth important enough to send an adult and this is some kind of joke, but then it turns out Harrow is actually really good at what she does and it gets more of a “kid really wanting to prove herself, maybe she begged or snuck onto the shuttle or something”-vibe. People speculate Ortus is the one who was supposed to help but is letting the kid do her thing.
They’re asked to stay for dinner, and Gideon keeps reaching for stuff on the table from underneath the cloak because it’s been a long day and she’s hungry, damn it. Harrow is dying inside. She wants to chide her but can’t say anything without drawing even more attention to the fact that there’s hands coming out of her cloak. Eventually Harrow begrudgingly passes Gideon all the food that has too much taste for her so she stops reaching on the table, but now it looks like she’s throwing food underneath the table, and also Gideon slurps when she’s drinking the sauce off her plate.
zack snyder had to step back from justice league after his daughter’s suicide and WB took that as a chance to bring joss whedon in and upend his movie and morph it into something it never was, giving them an excuse to edge him out. and after two years of fighting for his own damn movie it’s finally being released. I’m so happy
Oh. Realized something just now. @copiaslittlevermin I’m stealing your tags for this because they gave me the idea, thanks
Copia just came back from a tour in the video. He just spent months without Sister around, months without anyone telling him what to do or telling him how to act, just him having fun onstage with his ghouls while thousands of adoring fans scream-sang along with him. He was Papa for a whole tour, dammit, and now Sister is controlling what he fucking eats? Yeah, he’s going to be upset. That’s why he kind of snaps and calls Nihil a dickhead, he’s upset that being back home means he has to act like his old self and defer to his elders again, he had a taste of freedom and he doesn’t really want to give it back
NOOO because now I’m imagining someone genuinely asking Copia what he actually likes and what he actually wants and he’d get overly emotional about it because no one really gives a shit about him or his input like ever.
just crying over how romantic Freddie & Jim were nbd
So I read the book, and almost everytime Jim gave/made Freddie a gift, Freddie would always show it off and say “My husband got me those!” or “My husband made that for me!” It’s so sweet, especially for this one part when they first started dating:
I just have a lot of feelings about Eliot Spencer managing to quietly give Parker and Sophie the perfect flowers for each of them in such a way that they would never suspect it was him. Just because he wanted to make them smile. And in the same episode he promises to cook for Hardison and knows enough about both wine and Hardison to immediately offer to help with his sommelier cover. And the whole episode starts with him just comfortably reading in the empty bar with Nate, quietly making sure the guy isn’t drinking by himself.
Eliot Spencer goes out of his way to take care of the people he loves and he LOVES his team and I’m simply never going to stop thinking about it.
