The day frowns more and more—thou’rt like to have
A lullaby too rough. I never saw
The heavens so dim by day.
[Storm, with a sound of dogs barking and hunting horns]
A savage clamour!
Well may I get aboard!—This is the chase;
I am gone for ever!
[Exit pursued by a bear]
I have read some fantastic pre-Johnlock Sherstrade, but literally never gave Johnlockstrade a second thought until about three nights ago. Now I’m hooked.
I have a bit johnlockstrade, mostly pwp stuff, though that top one is angsty but happy ending johnlockstrade omegaverse.
Oh jesus brain, thank you for reminding me that Jack talks about going to war when he was a ‘boy’ and that the attack on Boeshane probably happened when he was around ~13 (I believe the actor who played young Jack was 14? someone correct me if I’m wrong) and how *Jack lost his childhood in a matter of minutes* and how painfully perfect the details we get in some of the novels that he really enjoys arcade games as stress relief etc are because of that.
I tend to feel like Jack acts like he does because he doesn’t want to get too close to anyone in general, and he was that way even before he became immortal. If what he said in “Captain Jack Harkness” was true, besides losing his brother he also lost his best friend. And feels guilty for his death as well as Grays.
And that’s where the Doctor comes in, and Rose. Because he grew to care about them despite himself. He couldn’t be amoral and disinterested like Hart, and I wonder if that’s part of why the Time Agency took those years from him.
And now, of course, he can’t help losing people. Even if they live for a time, they always leave. Or Jack leaves them. So he smiles and flirts and plays because it lets him run away emotionally, at least for a little while.
How badly do you think the First Order fears Finn? Do you think they put a hit out on him, because he shows that brainwashing isn’t destiny, that it can be broken, that you can break free, that given half an opportunity 90% of their ranks, the tools they need to maintain control, can–
–change their mind. Strive for something better?
Jedis are terrifying, but they’re born. You either have the force or you don’t. You can kill them and they go away.
But storm trooper with a conscience is a virus that can multiply too fast to stamp out. It makes Finn the biggest threat to the First Order than any Jedi could ever be.
jack harkness: please fight him. he needs it. he’s a time agent and most likely good at fighting but you can win by reminding him of his brother (actually don’t do that, he deserves to be punched but he doesn’t have to be emotionally destroyed). fight jack harkness
gray harkness: you could and he probably deserves it but jack would murder you
gwen cooper: DO NOT fight gwen cooper, she’s terrifying and will probably kill you and you don’t want to fight gwen cooper, she’s been through enough, why would you make her life worse? don’t fight gwen cooper
ianto jones: don’t fight ianto. why would you fight ianto? he’s very sweet. also he might look like a harmless hipster but he’ll kick your ass if you fight him, trust me
owen harper: PLEASE fight owen harper. he’ll probably cry but it needs to be done, he needs to be fought, please fight him. you’ll both feel so much better once it’s over. fight owen harper
toshiko sato: why the FUCK would you fight tosh
martha jones: martha is better than you, martha is better than everyone, martha is very kind and does not want to fight but when provoked she will destroy you and you’ll also have ten and jack to contend with. don’t fight martha
john hart: if you fight anyone on this list fight john hart. please. for all of us. wipe that asshole smile off his face. kick him back to whatever godforsaken century he came from. fight john hart
rex matheson: i mean…you could but he’s a badass and he’ll kick your ass. this guy is a cia agent and he’s immortal. and he’s just trying to Live A Life, yknow, be normal. he doesn’t want to fight anyone unless you were involved in the miracle. leave him be. don’t fight rex matheson
oswald danes: is this even a question
jilly kitzinger: jilly’s not a great person and probably deserves to be punched but listen: she’s a lesbian and she’s also rather dangerous. fight with caution
esther drummond: why the FUCK would you fight esther. what kind of PERSON are you
vera juarez: vera will absolutely wreck you whether it’s a debate or a physical fight. this woman is a terror and also better than you. do not fight vera
I bet this is like the basis of their relationship, though. Rebel command is like, alright go and face certain death doing xzy task. It will be difficult and you have to go fast. Luke is like “pffffff I did that at home so many times only the target was smaller. And moving. And I really couldn’t see that well because sand. This is gonna be cake, guys. CAKE.” Wedge’s reaction the first couple times, even after the death star, is basically that picture. But eventually he’s like sweet space jesus what terrible planet are you from that you keep telling me all these nigh impossible tasks are cake? Everyone’s like oh skywalker is a softie. He’s a squishy ball of love and sunshine, and wedge is like yeah. That is all extremely true but he is also MADE OF TEMPERED DEATH.
(After like the first 3 times Luke starts messing with Wedge. He’s like they want us do run these cables to the bottom of that extremely ominous cravasse? I did that one time when I was five, and uncle owen had me wire the relays with my toes because we had to shoot down this pack of anoobas that were trying to kill us and eat us. Wedge is just like that can’t be true, and yet…)
I really hope Wedge is still alive so that Rey can be all “On my crappy desert planet…” and Wedge can be all “OH GOD NOT AGAIN.”
