#vera stone
Hamish: I want a coffee shop that eventually serves alcohol towards the later hours
Vera: wait you mean a bar?
Hamish: no. ? I mean a coffee shop
Gabrielle, nudging a body with her foot: He died of natural causes.
Vera: Randall pushed him down the stairs!
Gabrielle, not wanting her super-cute/-dumb boyfriend to get in trouble: ….gravity is natural?
Jack: it’s at times like these when i wish i listened to Vera
Alyssa: what did she tell you
Jack: i don’t know, i didn’t listen
Alyssa: *facepalm*
Lilith, Hamish, Randall, and Jack: *have another bad and dangerous idea*
Alyssa and Vera, waking up in cold sweat: Something is wrong.
Randall, trying to get into The Order: I’m so strong that once I broke a boulder on someone’s head and that person went to the hospital!
Vera: Dear god, who was it?
Randall: Me!
Vera:…
Vera: And what happened next?
Randall: How should I know? I was unconscious!
Vera:…The fact that you haven’t gotten yourself killed will always stun me
Lilith, angrily: ARE YOU-
Randall: Fucking.
Lilith: -KIDDING ME?! YOU-
Randall: Fucking.
Lilith: -IDIOT-
Edward, who came back from the dead for some reason idk stay with me here: …what was that?
Randall: Vera banned Lilith from swearing when she’s talking to people who can give us info, so I volunteered to help her out.
Randall: Vera’s right. We have to do this. Change is inedible.
Alyssa: Don’t you mean inevitable?
Randall: *spits out a bunch of pennies*
Randall: I did not.
Vera: I will need that you and Jack pretend to be dating on the mission, Alyssa.
Alyssa, blushing: I… yeah, ok.
Jack: *trying to hide a smile*
Vera, knowing she’ll regret asking: What’s that, Jack?
Jack: I’ve read enough fanfics to know exactly how it will end.
Vera: Are you working on the spell?
Jack: My book is open, I have a knife in my hand and I’m not about to get up and do something else.
Jack: But no, I’m thinking about the beatles.
Vera: Of course I care about everyone in the order equally.
Hamish: We were attacked while you were away.
Vera: Is Jack okay?!
Vera: I hope you all have a verygood explanation for this.
Randall: We have four, actually.
Jack: We couldn’t decide on one.
Lilith: So you can pick your favorite.
Hamish: I’m so sorry about them.
Randall: Hey, it was your idea in all of these!
Here’s the thing about relationships in The Order (if that fandom is still alive)
They’re bad (most of them anyway)
Queerbating
It doesn’t matter that we got a half-assed 2 minutes long lesbian relationship if it got terminated immediately and sprung out of nowhere and half of that relationship literally got sent to hell; also both members are POC
You can’t make hamish and randall kiss out of nowhere and put that much feeling into it if you’re not going to go through with it even if their chemistry was off the charts (like the kiss me or the we had to had toorhe wishes??)
Overall I think The Order just has a problem with relationships (both straight and queer ones, though I do enjoy Hamish x Vera and/or Hamish x Randall, Randall x Gabrielle and Nicole x Lilith even if it was shortlived)
Exhibit A: Randall and Lilith. Why was that ever a thing? Just… just no
Exhibit B: Jack and Alyssa. They are for some reason the main couple yet they are mostly on and off and it’s not even entertaining. No one was surprised that they are each other’s love interests, but everything about them just gets so repetitive. Halfway through you’re just annoyed they’re not together. And even then you’re not enjoying it. But they are the main heterosexual white couple that got way too much screentime
Most of these problems would be resolved if we had got a season 3, but sadly we’re left with this mess.
