Martha didn't get a Tennant Doctor because she didn't want a Tennant Doctor. Martha was the only one of RTD's companions who left the Doctor of her own volition, and only ever called him back on her own terms, when she had need of him.

Rose didn't leave the Doctor willingly. Rose was trapped in an alternate universe because it was either that or be stuck in a void with Daleks and Cybermen for the rest of time. And when she returned (primarily to warn the Doctor about the oncoming darkness caused by Davros but also because she wanted to be with him), she left with the Metacrisis Tenth Doctor and their own TARDIS because that was the only way to give her a satisfying ending from the viewpoint of the audience. (And even then, there are some fans who will tell you that nothing short of her being with the Time Lord Doctor in the prime reality is satisfying, but that just couldn't happen for reasons outside the narrative story.)

Donna didn't leave the Doctor willingly. Donna absorbed all of the intelligence of a Time Lord into her human brain, and this was going to kill her. She had to have her memory erased and be kept away from anything alien for presumably forever or else the knowledge would return and literally kill her. Donna begged the Doctor not to wipe her memory anyway, because she would rather have died than give up that life. Just like Rose, Donna had planned on staying with the Doctor for the rest of her life.

This was not the case for Martha. Setting aside the fact that Martha was treated like garbage for the duration of her season from a writing standpoint, by the end of season three Martha has realized two things: 1.) that she is goddamn brilliant and never deserved to feel like she was second best, and 2.) that she doesn't want the Doctor anymore. Unlike Rose, Donna, and Captain Jack, Martha leaves the TARDIS of her own free will, to pursue her own life and career outside the Doctor. Even Sarah-Jane says in "School Reunion" that she waited for the Doctor to come back for her; she didn't want to leave, not permanently! But Martha did. She chose to step away. The only other companion to have done this during RTD's run is Mickey, so I guess Martha wasn't the only one; still, she's the only one of the primary companions, the three women, to want to leave. She made that choice herself.

Now, does that mean everything about Martha's ending was perfect? No. As much as the "Smith and Jones" wordplay of her ending with Mickey is amusing (get it, like her first episode), it makes no sense when you consider that she was engaged when she returned in season four, and yet we never hear of that fiance again. I mean, I guess it's fine since it's not like we ever saw him? But what happened there? Why was no thought given to Martha's story there? What was she doing with Mickey in an active war zone? Why no mention of her in these three specials even though, last we heard of her, she was working with UNIT in a really important position? I like Mel well enough, but why couldn't Martha have been there instead? Especially since Martha and Donna had a preexisting friendship, and would have been delighted to see each other again?

With that said though, she doesn't need a Tennant Doctor. She didn't want a Tennant Doctor. Frankly, Tennant's Doctor doesn't deserve her with the way he acted ("Rose would know" right to her face, like -- dude, I get it, you're grieving, but that's fucking rude and Rose would NOT approve you using her memory to make another woman feel bad about herself). Martha's character arc was about recognizing her own brilliance and her own worth; standing on her own two feet as a PROPER doctor, Doctor Martha Jones, walking the earth and saving the world without a TARDIS or Torchwood or a Time Lord brain. Just her own fucking determination and brilliance.

Rose and Donna got Tennant Doctors because that was the way to make their final send-offs satisfying. Rose and a Tennant Doctor got to be in love and happy together in a parallel world, which is fitting considering that they were in love and never wanted to leave each other. Donna and a Tennant Doctor get to be besties and happy together in this reality, so that RTD has a convenient excuse to pull Tennant back into a story if he ever wants to again (since it'd be hard to explain why Tentoo came over, versus having Fourteen right there) . . . but also because, like Rose, Donna never wanted to leave the Doctor, she wanted to be with him forever.

But Martha didn't want that. Martha left on her own accord. She left with a smile on her face and her cell phone on the TARDIS console, so that when she said "here boy!" the Doctor would listen. She left on her terms, with him at her call, only there when she has use for him.

And honestly? Good for her.

#like it was a fucking waste that we didn't see Martha at all in these specials #or even get a mention of her but like #she wouldn't WANT a Tennant Doctor. she was the only one of the 3 who left willingly!#(and honestly who can blame her like fr . . . the shit she put up with bc of him)#(the shit in the Family of Blood episodes gave her just cause to beat his ass into next week honestly)#(she hugs him at the end but honestly she should have beat his ass. just started swinging)#(how dare he do that to her? honestly?? i'm not talking about the love plot bit bc while that was ugh it's like #small potatoes to making her as a Black woman have to WORK IN SERVITUDE TO WHITE PEOPLE #and like the scene where he grabs her arm and throws her from the room? BITCH?????#GOD i'm mad again just THINKING about it #she should have beat his ass so hard he regenerated right then and there. AGH.#ANYWAY #Martha Jones deserved better but getting a Tennant Doctor is not better #not for her. it would be like a punishment honestly #she walked away from him and then you put his sad boy ass back on her doorstep?? hello??? no thank you #doctor who #martha jones #dw spoilers #this probably sounds like I hate Tennant's Doctor but I don't #I just hate how a lot of season 3 was written wrt how Martha was treated #like Martha having very legitimate concerns in the Shakespeare episode about being a Black woman in that time period #and Ten mocks her for being concerned like ???#ARGGGHGHHGHGHGHG #ABOUT TO FLING MYSELF INTO THE TV TO BEAT HIS ASS MYSELF ISTFG #A N Y W A Y

never getting over how adorable young tesilid is.

his many many expressions in the toy mansion dungeon when he's surprised, miffed, or shy.

squishest little guy ever. i want to pinch his cheeks and ruffle his hair and give him more food.

when he sees his new Defend Partner skill lets him absorb ailette's wounds and he was so happy and excited about it 😭 terrible skill as a standalone, but he's so happy he could potentially be helpful to his new friend.

like this is literally the most openly happy expression we had seen on him at this point of time. he's already imprinting on her. to think that he was radiating "one wrong answer and i'm going to deck you" vibes at the start of this arc. i know they did go through a life-and-death experience together and that does create an unbreakable bond or whatnot, but he warmed up to her so quickly it's so cute.

then webnovel chapter 53 when the sacred sheep start going on missions and hestio & ephael are like "? oh you still care about that pink-haired girl? we're probably never meeting her again though" but tesilid was like no we Will meet again, with such certainty that the other two don't even have anything to say in reply. and he internally was like "we literally have a shared skill so we Will meet again!"

like. idk what their in-universe understanding of fate is, and whether having a shared skill does actually mean your fates are intertwined. but did it never cross his mind that maybe they'll have shared skills but never meet again. like two ships passing in the night, the world is so big. but he isn't anxious or impatient or worried that he won't be able to find her, he'e so certain that they'll meet again. he's like No We're Soulmates like woah! okay tesilid. like idk if he considered her a romantic interest at this point (esp since the sacred sheep can't marry, and i don't think he would have been willing to break the law) but he's already imprinted on her so hard

and then whenever he feels sad she comes to mind like oh my god, tesilid,

#a transmigrator's privilege #the perks of being an s class heroine #he's so down bad for her!!!#this post started out abt how cute he is generally and then just became how cute and insane he is about ailette #i loooove them theyre so. very not normal about each other #also the part about tesilid basically going no we Will meet again is webnovel only unfortunately #but its soo funny #and so sad.#when you consider. how he was so certain and then how. when he. when the. scrunches up my face. when the regressions start #he cant find her and if he ever tries he'll learn that she probably either doesnt exist or died before their first meeting #wails #young tesilid is so cute and hopeful #tesilid argente #i love rereading toy mansion arc he is sooo cute #thank you grr for bringing him to life. he is so cute #have i said before that he's really cute and that he's really cute #swings him around

HEY.

I'M FINALLY GETTING AN ACCORDION.

Do you have any advice on starting? Specific easy songs, techniques to pick up, mistakes to avoid? Maintenance I should be ready for? (I figure this would vary by type, but still.) It's a Hohner Student II, 12 bass piano.

I'm sorry to bring this news knowing you've had to put it to the side for a while, but I hope you can take heart knowing somebody else has seen your passion and that it was reason to take steps forward.

first off, i’m SO excited for you!! the accordion has been such a treat for me and i am bursting with joy knowing you’re picking it up soon! seriously, the thought of me in any way inspiring someone else to learn the instrument is so monumentally amazing that i can’t even process all my excitement!!

secondly, i wanna clarify again that i’m very much a beginner and my overall knowledge about accordions is unfortunately still very baseline. i’m not sure how much our accordions differ because i actually cannot remember the specifics of the accordion i’ve been renting, but i think mine is on the much larger side, older, and definitely not a student accordion.

it’s a Lira and that’s all i know. i feel really silly for not retaining any of this information even after all this time, but details slide off my brain way too easily. when i see my teacher tomorrow i will try to ask her again and write it all down.

some general rules of thumb would include:

always keep your accordion in a comfortable temperature. basically, if you’re uncomfy, your accordion is also unhappy. accordions have wax, leather and reed elements that can easily stress in extremes and they will live longest in controlled temps. [direct sunlight is also bad]

keep your accordion covered or in a case while you’re not using it. dust is really bad for the instrument and can clog elements. i’ve left mine not only in the open uncovered, but right under my AC for several weeks on end before [which was extremely careless of me], and it hasn’t been an issue yet but it keeps me up at night. just a blanket over it should be fine.

never extend or press the bellows without pressing a key or the air button. this can cause compression leaks in areas of the accordion.

the booklet my teacher prepared for me recommends the instrument be polished once a month with a soft cloth using either accordion polish or a good substitute, like Liquid Gold. this helps fight discoloration and build up the surface to protect against small scratches. i have never once polished my accordion in the many months i’ve rented it so i’m not a good example, but it will help the longevity of the instrument.

as for common mistakes, all my mistakes are in my technique. for weeks and weeks my teacher had to constantly get on me about the position of my hands. on the left side where your basses are, the accordion is held close to the body, elbow back and pulled nearly flush against your side, heel of palm firm against the edge of the accordion, and fingers curled in an extreme “claw” position. i would ALWAYS fall out of position, flattening my fingers and waving my elbow about, and long term that is awful for your hand. the claw position is very hard to explain so i would recommend watching a demonstration of it, but it will save you a lot of pain in the future.

on the right side of the accordion, it’s good to hold your elbow out. the hand is supposed to float above the keyboard, fingers curled on the end though not as extreme. if you curl your finger, the playing of the notes is a lot stronger and more precise as opposed to flat fingers slapping around. try it, the difference is striking.

my teacher has thrown many songs my way, most of which i love. she claims all her students hate them lol but they’re old and sweet sounding and some of them have gotten permanently stuck in my head. my two favorites right now are Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes and In The Good Old Summertime. the former is veeeery good for beginners. it felt like a doozy to me as someone with zero previous music experience, and it was to learn, but once you get it down it’ll be so deeply ingrained in your psyche that you’ll never be able to pry it out. i can play it with my eyes closed [which isn’t saying a lot considering you don’t typically see much of the accordion while playing, but it sounds cool to be able to say]. the latter is a lot more complicated and i’m still kind of grappling with it but i just ADORE the tune. it’s so incredibly satisfying when you get it right. oh, and don’t forget Daisy Bell. simply cannot go wrong with that one. way more difficult, lots of bass changing and skipping around on the keyboard, but it’s so worth it.

also, i have to wonder; are you getting yours used or new? i’m guessing new but i am obligated to ask because used accordions can be so difficult to find in beginner friendly condition. either way, i am SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! this is a great thing! with your passionate and whimsical soul, i have no doubt you’ll be blasting past me in no time. keep in mind i haven’t been practicing regularly or at all in the last couple months because of the job i just quit so i’ve kind of stagnated for now but tomorrow i’m actually going back to class for the first time in ages so things are looking up!

the accordion is a really difficult instrument to learn but if my unfocused and impatient adhd self can learn, so can you. i know you got this! and please keep me updated on your journey!!

#asks #lucidowl #THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!!!#sorry it took a while to respond. i was worried i would get my advice mixed up and misinform you #so i went back through my music binder and read my teacher’s accordion care guide again lol #i am so stoked you have no clue. i need to run around and swing around a lamp pole rn !!!!!#no id #accordion posting #long post

Ceasefire Au Part 3

Bee thinks Blitzwing gets crushed under some rubble. Now complete with embarrassing scribble✨

Prepare yourselves for some major Blitzbee fluff. Hooooo boy, does it get gay.

💕Warnings in the tags (but no actual serious content warnings I don’t think, so I don’t suppose there are any triggers worth checking them for)

(But just in case)

————————

Blitzwing flinched awake at the clatter of tumbling concrete across his wingstruts. His optics opened to total dark, surrounding him in every direction. It took all of a klik for his system to reboot and stream the last 10 seconds of consciousness straight to his processor.

Bumblebee had been about to be crushed under a building, collapsing inward after Blitzwing’s crashing through it. Why the Bug insisted on fighting so close at his side when he’d warned him time and time again something like this could happen was infuriating.

Regardless, the triple changer had scrambled to his pedes, unable to recover from his rough landing quite yet, and could do little more than move to push the bot out of the way, or shield him entirely with his massive body. He was thankful he had enough processing power in that disorienting moment to avoid risking the latter, in case something managed to pierce his plating, however unlikely an Earth made product could actually accomplish that.

He’d pushed him instead and took the brunt of the falling rubble on his wings and shoulders. Feeling himself pinned beneath for all of a blink before he was left unconscious.

Awake now and happy to see he was as impenetrable a force as any Cybertronian death machine, war tank should be, Blitzwing began to free himself. Shifting and twisting until the final layer of wreckage was a thin strip above his helm and a single push off and away from him with a single servo.

Freed, despite the debris cluttered about his mid thigh and pedes, Blitzwing stretched tall and extended his wings behind him to test their sensitivity.

Everything was in perfect condition. As it should be.

But then a familiar little gasp from somewhere below brought that inescapable dread back to the pit of his tanks.

Had Bumblebee been hit?! Had he failed to push him far enough away!?

He frantically looked down to find a yellow ball, curled up at the edge of the rubble, looking utterly exhausted at his own two servos.

“Bumblebee!” Blitzwing shouted far louder than necessary. He broke a pede free and swung his thigh clear out of the pile that’d formed around him. In one giant step, he swooped down to reach for his wounded companion and bring him in close. The knot forming in his chest near painful.

Bee didn’t protest, clinging weakly to the large servo closing over his flimsy waist and hoisting him away from the mess below.

At optic level, Blitzwing looked his backstrut over first, already hailing Ratchet on his comm line, when that silly little horned helm snapped up with blazing blue optics and a furious little frown.

“Bumble-“

“You could have been killed, you idiot!”

Blitzwing stalled a moment, wondering what he’d missed in the last few moments before he’d been knocked out that’d make the other say such a thing, before he realized-

“....From... what?.... From a building?”

How about ‘no’?

The closest he’d ever come to offlining was with spark chamber filling with nitrogen from his own busted fuel lines, nearly drowning him from the inside out. Which Astortrain had gotten a kick out of later when Hook had announced he’d officially survived the ordeal.

A falling building, though? One only a few hundred feet taller than himself? He’d had a shuttle fall on him. Primus, he’d been strangled by a Six Changer and lived through that easily enough with the help of his naturally dense armor.

And here Bee was, looking dangerously close to watery optics, thinking he’d been dead.

Blitzwing’s spark did a summersault.

“Jou insult me.” He said then, as aloofness was infinitely more manageable than a proper kiss to the little sweetspark’s reddening cheeks.

“Good! You insulted me first by almost dying!”

“Zat vouldn’t have done more zen knock me unconscious for a few moments-“

“Dude, that’s not good! Your processor needs to be checked!”

“I’ve commed for Ratchet. Vunce he’s checked jou out, I’ll have him look at my processor.” He joked, as it was clearly nothing as simply as that. Even having the audacity to roll his optics and sigh.

Bumblebee was practically shaking. Absolutely outraged by his attitude of the whole thing- of taking an entire building on for him like it was nothing more than an inconvenience.

Bumblebee had stopped caring ages ago what kind of stress their new war frame companions could and couldn’t significantly more successfully handle than them.

“Check me!? You’re the one that got hurt, BlitzBrain!”

“Not hardly.” The other snorted, and turned his helm up and away. ‘Unbothered’.

He made to put the little minibot down on his stabilizers to prove to him then that he could walk around without processor lag when two little palms shot out, quick as lightening, and cupped him round the cheeks.

Blitzwing jolted, opening his mouth to throw more half sparked reassurances at the worrisome bot that this little incident had been no big deal when a warm mouth deftly closed over it.

He jerked, unconsciously rushing to arrange the little mech in his arms better, as the fear of dropping him from his now lagging processor was very real and very probable.

Bee held on, sinking his tiny little digits into sensitive seams as leverage to push himself up into the kiss. The kiss Blitzwing couldn’t have prepared himself for with a million astro-seconds of warning. Deep and urgent.

He made a noise he wasn’t proud of, especially when it reverberated loudly as Bumblebee chose that very moment to pull away.

“B-Bee, I- slag, I-I...”

Then those soft, courageous lips began to pepper themselves over every inch of exposed faceplate. Choosing stretches of soft dermamesh in every direction to adorn with his affections, no particular pattern to his fevered kisses leaving several spots kissed twice.

Blitzwing’s wingstruts fanned themselves in quick short bursts. An instinctual effort to relief their tension from the plating in his back and shoulders from where he’d gone stiff against the assault of kisses. Trying to redirect any undue pressure from his delicate hinges back there.

It still looked as utterly ridiculous as any thousand foot war machine, flickering his wings like a giant dragonfly would. Only the light catching on the metal brought a flash across their glimmering surface in the most alluring way to any wandering, welcoming optics -and served as a dangerous warning to any interested parties to back off.

This was his catch wrapped up in his servos, kissing on him. So, back off or lose a limb.

His. His.

“Oh, Spark.” Bumblebee mumbled in absolute exhaustion against Blitzwing’s lower lip. Sounding completely defeated, helpless even.

“Blitz- baby, I thought you were a goner.”

Yesss. All his.

He forced himself to find his vocalizer long enough to ease the little bot so broken and tired, held close in his arms.

“I’m sturdier zan jour puny little frame, Bug. I can easily take on a building.”

“But your wing only just healed. Again!” Bee pulled his helm away, still clinging to his collar with both hands, and looked up at him with the biggest puppy eyes Blitzwing had thought he’d only ever see on Sari.

“They must have hurt so bad!”

Blitzwing struggled not to kiss him stupid and happy again right there. Worrying about his safety, worrying about his wings- having bothered to learn more explicitly about their delicate nature enough to know they needed special treatment.

Having been the bot not so long ago to offer them such with a careful massage.

This little Autobot...

“Zhey feel much better now.” He murmured. A gentle rumble in his chest from his fluctuating engine made the words a bit more huskier sounding than calming. Bee didn’t seem to mind one bit.

“And I’m safe -zat’s all zat matters, hm?”

Bumblebee clearly disagreed, if the little pout and sad, glowing optics were anything to go by.

That he thought nuzzling up under Blitzwing’s chin and kissing about his jawline was the only satisfying solution for such was just fine with the triple changer. Even titling his helm this way and that for the substantially smaller bot to reach every bit of untouched faceplate he could.

Melting from spark to toe-pede in the fervent kisses along his sensor rich dermamesh.

“Ehem.” Somebot somewhere awkwardly reset their vocalizer, and Blitzwing and his doting little nurse were stopped frozen in place. Slowly turning to address the wide pairs of optics in varying stages of disbelief and resignation looking their way. Having stood there in a frigid horror to watch the show, apparently.

Megatron, having wrestled Optimus clear of fallen debris finally, was stood at the little bot’s side looking a hundred years late to recharge.

“Well, this complicates things.....” He drawled, causing Blitzwing to unconsciously flinch.

But the little firetruck looked significantly more distressed, seeming transfixed on the yellow minibot bundled up in the arms of thousands of tonnes of deadly war machine, waiting with silent terror as to whether his smallest teammate would be safely released back down or torn apart with a single servo. Unable to make sense of the scene before him just yet.

Blitzwing did put Bee down then, if only to keep the peace, and was rewarded with a more surprised and curious than concerned looking Optimus. Seemingly coming to his own realization then that Blitzwing might sooner tear out his own tcog than assault his naive, most vulnerable crew mate.

Two leaders of two separate factions looking surprisingly amenable to the current circumstances down. Now two giant mecha of muscle and stature -their closest companions, in fact- to go.

Blitzwing nervously locked optics with Lugnut, who’d practically lost his jaw off its hinges in total awe of the sight. Of his cruel, indifferent, icy companion sinking into a puddle under the lavish heat of a delicate mouth around his colored cheekplates.

Slag....

Then the bomber plane began to speak in a hurried panic.

“Ah- uh- Per- Perhaps it does not complicate things so much, Glorious Leader!” He bellowed, stumbling over his words.

“You are aware of how impulsive we Decepticons can be in the heat of battle!”

Of how most all war frames were eager to make questionable... ‘recreational’ decisions after the thrill of fight had failed to leave their overtaxed systems. Wired by design to fulfill the urges of an adrenaline rush through whatever satisfying measures necessary. Sometimes with more fighting, sometimes with more ‘accommodating’ means of stimulation.

Optimus seemed to be aware, if his own flushing cheekpkates meant anything. And Blitzwing would love to know what that was about.

Blitzwing chose not to elaborate then how uneventful having a building topple him over had been as opposed to the actual, dangerous combat moments before it, and what that accurately, did in fact, do to his overcharged systems. The other war frames knew perfectly well that was the case already, and that Lugnut was trying to save face for him -sweet- in front of their abnormally vacant leader.

When silence followed uncomfortably loudly in Lugnut’s delirious place, Bulkhead simply sighed.

“...I guess I saw it coming....”

And that struck a nerve.

“You did not!” Bumblebee screeched this unholy thing, high and strained enough to burst even Blitzwing’s audials from all the way up there.

But that did mean they had two more bots willing to accept this forsaken union. In their own way....

“Well, I did.” Prowl snipped, coming up from behind the pair. They turned to see him, his visor cracked in places and his claws a bit dulled.

“You did not!” Bee shouted again, whipping a finger out and stomping after him when he slipped between the couple. Either more certain he could do more damage to him than Bulkhead, who was four times his size, or simply more spurred on by their endless bickering to risk another of Prowl’s crushing headlocks to ensure himself the proper respect.

“You’ve been staring after him anytime he leaves the room for the last Quartex.”

“I- Fr- B- I- I do not! Prowl, you tree hugging-“

Blitzwing took that opportunity to look back towards their gathering audience once more -not the least bit surprised Ratchet had excused himself entirely after Megatron had said his piece- to reassess his leaders.

The little Prime was watching with hooded optics, seemingly unbothered by this startlingly new revelation any longer, and observing his teammates rush at each other’s throats, as causally as if it were any other day back at base.

Megatron, to Blitzwing’s momentary confusion, was more focused on discreetly scanning the little mech below for any excess damage.

He decided not to look into why that was, as deniability would make it far easier to ignore what had so evidently been possessing them all as of late when it came to these rambunctious little civil frames.

It was nice to know he wasn’t the only one so affected by a cute little mech with big, bright eyes, though.

———————-

They kind of gettin’ official now 😭 I mean the mouth kissing is one thing, but coupled with the special wing treatment last time... There’s no denying in Blitzwing’s overclocked processor that these two are getting serious.

You know what isn’t serious? Whatever threat I previously, vaguely imagined for this AU to exist. Thank God I never established what that was. That’d be too much writing.

Also I made this like hours after posting>>>

Just make him take it Bee boy

Woo hello 🎬!! I kept all of your ask here -- I put it like this for my own easy scrolling, but no way am I cutting any of this, it's so perfect AH

Oughhhhgh Haruka getting more confident from hanging out with everyone and getting such positive feedback… I’d imagine the back to back innocent verdict and night of compliments would do wonders for his psyche ;-; And same for Muu and Amane! Minus the inno verdict, but the sudden influx of explicit compliments and acknowledgement of “hey, that was fucked up what they did to you, okay?” I wonder if there’s any awkwardness since After Pain directly follows Bring it On, but I like to imagine Fuuta and Muu have a deeper talk about things in private (and maybe Muu hesitantly mentions her involvement with Rei in preparation for INMF…)

Damn, who’s going to give the sex talk to the kids after Yuno’s vide-- Shidou. Sidou does. Without hesitation. They have to stop him because no one wants to hear it and everyone there already understands the basics.I love the idea of she, Mahiru, Muu, and designer Mikoto chatting about everyone’s fashion sense (I can imagine them poking fun at Fuuta’s tracksuit and Shidou’s patterned shirts.) And planning shopping trips that include everyone!!! Amane and Kotoko are given no choice in the matter, and a lot of the guys are genuinely interested in coming along.

Awww, I love the thought of Haruka getting into a “boy” interest with Fuuta and Mikoto -- he never knew what it was like to have brothers but he’s really enjoying it <3 (Also I’m cracking up over Fuuta trying desperately to convince them “it’s not cringe!!!”)

ASDFSDF Mappi just straight up sobbing and Mikoto handing her tissues 😂 But yes, she also gets choked up during Magic and Amane can’t figure out why. This begins the adults’ efforts to get her out of whatever situation she’s currently in (which Jackalope was already half-working on, but is definitely spurred on by several angry almost-murderers demanding he get it done now.)

I do like that idea of Red more comfortable with showing skin than Blue. (I know people are very emotional about the stalker theory, but I personally never took it in a harmful way. I always enjoyed how it was a symbol of stripping away everything else until you’re left with your true, whole self.) So I like to think that Blue feels too exposed, but Red/Green are the ones who pitched it in a symbolic sense!

I’m losing my mind at Kotoko/Kazui/Red talking about sparring. Everyone else is like “hell yeah, let’s see it!” and Shidou just sitting there like “you all are going to be the death of me. You are NOT fighting.” Because I really want to think about it happening, I’ll say they manage to sneak away at least once and nearly break a prop in the process, to which even Jackalope shuts them down.

I think they all manage to get pretty serious again by the time T2 rolls around, but the hiatus is filled with a lot of sweet moments and healing conversations between everyone. Also, making so many plans for the future helps keep them sane when some of the project immersion gets a bit too real. Whenever they start realizing they might be condemned for their actions and worried that they’re too broken/they’re life is ruined, they come back to those plans and relax a bit.

Absolutely no pressure, but I would love to hear your T2 thoughts! 👀👀👀 I’m so incredibly grateful you’ve taken the time to share your ideas -- from the very beginning this au has been a big collaboration, so it’s super fun bouncing ideas around :D

#milgram #ft everyone!#i really love all of these ;---;#thank you so much!! ive been enjoying these so much and im sure everyone else is as well #i keep swinging drastically from torturing myself by thinking deeply about upcoming angst #and then healing myself thinking of everyone chillin in this au sdfsdfa #pretty soon ill write up a post with little details ive had in mind here and there 👍👍#i just havent had the motivation to put em down on paper yet but youre inspiring me!!!!#and yeah... i swore id finish a few of my current milgram wips before starting anything new but youre tempting meeeee #there will be plenty of time over the upcoming trial break for me to get some writing in im sure 👀#in a more serious tone i want to write a little drabble of the prisoners leaving/returning to the prison area #the odd relief of dropping pretenses and feeling free again #and then the heaviness that settles over them when they put on their fake bandages and torn uniforms and walk back in #but movie night my beloved!!!#not in a limiting gender role sort of way but i think with all the femininity that was forced on haruka he has a great time with the boys #all that fashion advice was Not heeded when choosing outfits for backdraft and triage #the Dad Fit was all shidous idea #(<- says this but i love the backdraft look jsyk)#i feel like t2 movie night would be much more chaotic since they were involved for a lot so they can get rowdier #then again some things were left secretive -- they never got to meet shidous kids and most didnt watch tear drop filming #and some of the post-filming effects probably turned out cooler than they were expecting #lights camera sing your sins #ask
