Irreplaceable

Or, Chains thinks about Houston.

(Hi @neomineom ! I was your secret Santa! Sorry for taking years, it wasn’t canon compliant so I scrapped it and restarted. Among other real life things. it was totally my fault! I hope that I got your boys right and did them justice 👀)

written for @paydaysecretsanta

// canon compliant fluff with a bit of angst :)

Chains remembers Houston from before they both were in the PAYDAY gang. It was back in the early 2000s, when Houston would unlock the back door every morning so that they wouldn’t bother any customers while talking. The younger man didn’t really speak all that much, but Chains hadn’t minded. He’d met much worse, and the glint in Houston’s eye hinted to his amusement.

Houston was stoic from the beginning, forced to grow up in a household that had no place for a kid. Chains could put two and two together just by the way he mentioned his brother, those glimpses into complex feelings caused by years of neglect. He “had no chill,” as Joy used to say. It might’ve looked like that, but she didn’t know how he was back then.

The Ghost was almost completely silent, immediately getting down to business. He made no time for small talk, finding every conversation meaningless if it didn’t have a point. Chains admired the way that Houston was serious about his work, but it wouldn’t have killed the guy to loosen up a little. Chains had—for lack of a better term—annoyed Houston into relaxing every so often. When the younger man would roll his eyes, the veteran counted that as a victory.

At first, Houston was visibly irritated by Chains’ antics, having half a mind to kick him out of the range. Chains’ disrupted his usual quiet, but Houston began to grow used to it. He didn’t know when it happened, but he had started to expect his presence.

Chains started off by looking at the merchandise, then moved on to talking about other weapons and what Houston used to clean them out. The Armorer, knowing full well how to do it by himself, watched the younger man dismantle a desert eagle with deft fingers.

…When Bain chose Houston as a stand-in for Hoxton, Chains had agreed to it. He had seen Houston’s potential in how he applied himself and in the way he handled his weapons. (It was a mistake. He didn’t regret working with Houston, but Chains never meant to hurt Hoxton. He had always seen the two as separate people despite their similarities.)

Chains would keep it on the lighter side, but he wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. Houston wouldn’t judge him for any of it, sometimes agreeing with what he said. Likewise, Houston had no qualms with asking him for advice.

———

Asking people for help was weak… but with Chains, Houston felt different. This was just two friends talking to each other.

It didn’t stop him from feeling a bit dumb for asking Chains for ideas about what sort of Christmas present to get Dallas. It’s not like he could stroll up to the guy and go “so is there anything you need other than me forgiving you for every time you weren’t there when I needed you?”

…Because that would be distasteful. Probably.

But it could definitely throw a wrench into their operations. With a heavy heart, Houston goes back to the drawing board.

“Would he… actually want anything?” Houston asks his partner in crime. He can’t really keep his eyes on the other man, pretending to work on something. The Ghost tightens screws on a spare ECM, but not enough to strip the thread.

“Heheh, yeah. The guy doesn’t go around screaming his love for Breaking Bad… except when he does,” Chains replies lightheartedly, knowing the Crew Chief’s love for old men getting punched in the face. (They never miss a chance to tease Dallas for being a decade older than the rest of them.)

Houston doesn’t think that Dallas does meth. It wouldn’t be professional. If he did, Bain would fire him… on second thought, maybe he wouldn’t. But Dallas’ level of methness is beside the point.

“He wouldn’t like that,” he says with a slight grumble. Houston could get him something related to the retirement home show, but Dallas would be too embarrassed to actually do anything with it. Houston doesn’t blame him. He’s gonna act like he does, anyway.

“…Well, he likes money,” the Armorer shrugs, “but you should be the one to decide, you know? Can’t do it for you. But I’m sure he wouldn’t mind either way.”

The Ghost can tell that Chains is listening to what he’s saying, and he appreciates the sentiment. No, he’s always appreciated the way that Nicholas understood him. The younger heister turns to nod at his friend and is greeted with a smile, as always.

(Houston ended up getting Dallas a pair of ugly Christmas sweater socks with tacky dollar designs emblazoned across them. Dallas acted polite about the gift as if he didn’t like it, but Houston noticed that his brother wore those stupid fuzzy socks with each subsequent holiday.)

———

Chains sometimes tells stories about how him and Houston used to work in the same room—something that the latter never rarely did by choice. People would take his stuff without asking or get things dirty without cleaning up afterwards and it irked him to no end. Chains was someone who respected Houston’s boundaries, and there’s the fact that they’d known each other for over a decade… that’s gotta count for something, right?

Eventually, the Armorer taught Wolf how to behave himself around Houston as well, slowly helping his friend branch out. Houston learned how to trust a select few, settling both Wolf and Chains into his close circle of friends. Still, the older heister was different to him than the rest. He had bad experiences with Dallas, and Wolf was sometimes unpredictable. They were each unique in their own ways.

Houston was uptight, rigidity mellowed out with time. He knew his own boundaries, pushed them and even went to open a bar in Mexico with the crew’s support. Sure, Chains had shown him the way, but how much he changed was all on him. Chains helped Houston get a foot in the door, allowing him to meet new people. To see new things. To be independent again—apart from both Hoxton and his brother. Just because the gang was apart hadn’t meant that they cut all contact—they met every now and then just for the sake of spending time together.

Chains had sent letters to the former heister between his shoots, talking like they did back in the old days. He would light up whenever he found a reply in his mailbox, putting it elsewhere for safekeeping. Houston never completely chilled out, but he built his own life over there, at his own place! Chains was proud of the younger man. Houston updated his friend on the things that were happening… until he couldn’t.

Chains wasn’t able to save anything from his house when he was attacked.

Which is why when Dallas looks out the window for someone who will never arrive, Chains can put a hand on his shoulder. That’s why he doesn’t have to say a single word. He’s able to show the Crew Chief that he understands. Hoxton is his own person, and Houston never could’ve replaced him. He didn’t have to. Hoxton can’t replace him, either.

The two of them wait for an impossibility until after the sun sets.

i'm actually pretty happy with the pd3 heister reveals. spoilers for now given it's hot fresh news, so read below the cut for my full thoughts.

joy and pearl make a lot of sense from a developer standpoint as picks for launch. obvs they want to pick heisters that aren't super iconic (yet) to give them time and space to grow. and it's great to see a new heister so we know this isn't payday 2.5 in terms of cast. and we have four guys, so having two girls balances out the choices well especially for newbies to the game. i do admit i was hoping for houston, but i saw at least one of the female heisters returning from miles away. here's hoping we see our old mains in some shape or form.

let's start with pearl. she brings an air of class(?) that hasn't been covered by the existing pd3 crew which gives more variety to the characters that people can play. i love her outfit and face (very chic) but not sold on the mask. pearl's chic-ness contrasts her from pretty much all of the payday 2 female heisters as well. obvs i want my favs back, but pearl is going to be a solid addition and i hope that she's going to be well fleshed out in the game.

joy was initially unexpected but makes more sense as i'm thinking about it. consider that she got done super dirty in pd2 given her late introduction and her lack of relevance in the plot asides from her connection with locke. city of gold campaign fleshed her out surprisingly well, but it was too late for the majority of players to start giving a shit about her. and the point lines were... controversial. but i'm glad to see in this game she seems like she's grown up (and her va is returning, yay job security and continuity). her outfit is amazing, her face is... well. controversial (but i think she'll be alright on release). i hope that she can endear herself to fans now that she finally has room to do so. i am rooting for you cringe gamer girl (affectionate).

(also, possible revenge plot from her given locke is mia afawk.... looking forward to it)

Reseña de He is Psychometric

Se centra en la vida de un hombre y una mujer joven. El joven Lee Ahn (Park Jin Young) gana una habilidad que no puede controlar. Al tocar la piel de alguien, puede leer sus secretos. La joven Jae In (Shin Ye Eun) no se detendrá ante nada para ocultar los secretos en su corazón.

Desde el primer capítulo me atrapó por completo. Usualmente le doy a dramas todo el capítulo 1 para convencerme si vale la pena verlo o no; pero a este creo que solo le tomó 10 minutos para que le dijera sí.

Es un kdrama muy, muy MUY interesante. Es la mezcla perfecta entre misterio y romance con la dosis ligera de humor. Incluso las risitas raras del fondo me daban risa.

En cuanto a la habilidad de Lee Ahn, realmente no hay mucha lógica detrás de su habilidad ni límites o reglas más allá del contacto piel con piel, pero es muy interesante y divertido de ver. La trama es una MUY buena trama de misterio; los personajes, profundos y significativos. AMÉ a la protagonista, me sentí muy identificada con ella en cuanto a su personalidad.

En general, el drama está súper bueno, te mantiene enganchada desde el inicio hasta el final de cada capítulo. Apenas empieza un nuevo capítulo y ya no quieres dejar de verlo. Apenas termina un capitulo y ya quieres continuar con el siguiente. REPITO, MUY buena trama policiaca y de misterio.

Es un gran rompecabezas con un número desconocido de piezas, y cada capítulo se descubren varias piezas y no sabes si habrá más o es el final.

Pd. Park Jin Young me enamoró <3 , especialmente su personaje. Quería ver este kdrama antes de ver The Devil Judge (donde Ji Sung oppa actúa <3), pero no quería que llevarme una gran decepción en caso de que el segundo personaje principal interpretado por Park Jin Young no me gustase; pero ahora estoy convencida de que amaré The Devil Judge.

Pd2. ¡El hermano de Lee Ahn, Kang Sung Mo (interpretado por Kim Kwon) me gustó mucho! No conocía al actor y además de él, me gustó su personaje y su actuación! Me recordó un poco a Lee Jong Suk en While You Were Sleeping en cuanto al físico.

Pd3. [SPOILER ALERT] Yo apostaba por la pareja entre Kang Seung Mo y la detective Eun Ji Soo; y me entristeció mucho que muriera :( no se lo merecía, merecía un final feliz junto con Seung Mo porque yo sí creo que sí la quería. Sí, es verdad, lo reprimía por su pasado pero sí la quería. Su muerte es mi queja más grande y por eso la historia no logró 5 estrellas a pesar de que me encantó.

Le doy a He is Psychometric 4 estrellas.

★★★★☆

OST: 2.5 estrellas

Actuación: 5 estrellas

Personajes: 5 estrellas

Historia: 5 estrellas

Escenografía: 3.5 estrellas

Química de la pareja: 5 estrellas

Ch. 132 Opinion (Spoiler)

I've read a lot of people complaining about chapter 132 being too short, but actually it tells a lot about OC's personality. Last month's chapter told us that he was a sickly child and that he was the spare even though he was loved by his family, but in this chapter I can kind of see some things that he still does or are very OC like.

We can actually see that he didn't want to just be his brother's shadow and he had his own plans for the future even when he was still a child. He wanted to make a living by his own when he could just stay and work in their state.

On the other side, it was actually RC the one that didn't want to be without him even he was supposed to be the Earl and heir.

It actually makes me wonder how things could have been in the future if that day didn't come.

Pd: OC wanted to make toys for the children that couldn't go outside just like him. That's such a beautiful dream ♡

Pd2: Vincent talking like that about english names is very suspicious, isn't it?

Pd3: English is not my first language

Pd 4: For those people complaing about OC being called the spare. I know it is sad but, did you know that even Prince William's brother, Prince Harry was called the spare? Even now, Prince William's second child, his daughter, is called the spare. It is way more common that all of you think.
