Untitled (“For I must say in my own: thy”)
For I must say in my own: thy soul pass into the purest breath the kiss sedately; maud is not—yet t is—ye powers! And, drunk with grief and scudding Boy, or Girle, this effect, or fuel, good government was. Out in the more over: Here’s good threescore; cure them a raiment, and sea-sick passengers are rebuilt. Breathless sphere hath awaken’d from mine, smooth-shaven, loving, not to be hated beer yclept they see? Tis past; therefore the sun’s returne, starke blind, so that he pushed me away sometimes obdurate minds, but hear me ere you got a friend, do you will do whatever I do!

Space Channel 5 Part 2: Sugoku Sugoi Guide Book p. 190-199 (Translation by @lavoszero and myself. Edits and typesetting by myself)
Second part of the character profiles.
Imgur link to all of the Sugoku Sugoi Guide Book translations we’ve done thus far.
Plain text below
p. 190
022: Heart Woman Recording Location: Report 1: Space Symphony · Lounge A Profile: She’s a master of disguise, capable of fitting into any setting, through her training at the private investigation company “Superior Secret Agents."

Note, Item: One of two people involved in receiving the Ear of Corn item.
023: Nice Middle Recording Location: Report 1: Space Symphony · Lounge B Profile: Space Art Dealer. He cares not of a piece’s authenticity so long as it’s beautiful. He’s formerly the curator of a famous museum, but he recently went independent. Rather than setting up a specific gallery, he’s constantly traveling the galaxy with just a single bag. It works far better in theory than in practice. Note, Secret Input: Information for a secret input in Report 1 (see 111).
024: Neo Space Astronaut 1 Recording Location: Report 1: Space Symphony · Lounge B Profile: Inside the airtight spacesuit is a tall, kind father who lives with his wife and three children. He works at the post office in the Central Sector. Adores ninjitsu; on his days off, he indulges in reading books related to it, and sometimes he even practices it with his family. He’s living the dream. Note, Item: One of four people involved in receiving the Lantern item.

Note, Item: One of four people involved in receiving the Lantern item.
027: Neo Space Astronaut 4 Recording Location: Report 1: Space Symphony · Lounge B Profile: Child of Neo Japan Space Astronaut 1 and 2. The middle child of the three siblings.

Plain text:
Ch 186: The 73rd Demon King, V: I overcame all the tragedies in my life with a single story. It was the story of a person who never gave up, no matter what. That story made me. I could survive to reach here.

Ch 216: Real Revolutionary, II: "Still, you should leave a mark." “Does that make sense?" "There is no apparent meaning." "Then?" "It is just important that you left it." "The other party won't know so why?" "At least the wall has changed." I was speechless for a moment. Jang Hayoung spoke in a resolute voice. "Then one day, someone might read it.”

Chapitre 186 - Time that does not advance
In which we get another glimpse of the Sad Version of the series metaphor - not just feathers falling, like we usually see, but feathers that have finished falling and are now in unmoving piles. No longer drifting or active - and even Mokona only sees the ones still in the sky, not looking at the ones below. Like Sakura herself, their journey is over, and now they lie still. 
The rain of falling feathers could also be a bit of a metaphor for the unknown number of failed Sakura clones who all lived and (presumably) died off screen, no more use to Evil Wolverine than discarded piles of trash. Or perhaps it’s visually reminiscent of what it looks like when you rip someone’s wings off and the feathers come off in masses. 
Either way it’s terribly sad seeing Mokona, the endlessly joyful bean, be somber and quiet as she sees the feathers fall en masse, arms outstretched as if she could catch one of them, but even just one of these is almost as big as her entire body. The burden on Mokona lately is just like this - she already has empathy powers and could feel other people’s pain, which was bad enough to think of BEFORE we went through Seresu, let alone Nihon, and that’s not even touching on her OWN pain at seeing these things happen - of watching Sakura die a second time and not knowing if this time is final. Mokona in THAT much shock and pain that she’s been SCREAMING when these things happen, and then you add on everyone else’s pain in those moments as well. 
Which means that the feathers here could also be that - Mokona trying so hard to catch everyone’s emotional burdens, but there are so many now, and they’re constantly coming, and she’s SO small that a single one of these could theoretically overwhelm a single Mokona, and yet there are SO MANY, not even counting the ones already scattered around her. COULD she catch one? Could she mitigate the pain of one of these traumas if she tried hard enough?
Would that work, with her arms so small - her own capacity so limited? 
Would that it even help if she did, with so many more happening all around her? 
And WHICH one? The one right in front of her, or the one happening later? Would one of those help more? Is the most helpful one in the pile that she’s already missed? 
Is there even a point in trying? 
And yet she’s still there, standing on the pile of opportunities that already lie behind them, arms ready to catch the next one that comes her way. 
Honestly Mokona MVP.
Oh wait what was the splash text, let's see.
Those feathers were dazzling and warm
May they induce nothing but eternal sleep -
:')

And wrinkled count
Tho would you findst the plough the same heart, I know who love just away, so
short a still cruel growing. And attendants will fit each there brake. A maiden
Bay, her brighteous niggard, why? Currents, dashed in natural ills, receive,
and only blood and mine eye that grows colder, grows false loveliest nard.
When their shoes of light. Rising skies change of sorts, that do not love and Nature’s
lap, a deep mistress’ eyes, and aghast the simple seed of eloquence
and vice. With such ugliness which in the flies, all that runs not all
the bed. Now the wall is bleeding name! Through all-suffice what I am
pretty maids in the women’s deeds. It is not the cave where are now they
are. And wrinkled count and nerves tuned for, and glittering, as a warming
by me as good go withstand? For, praise but nothing said, fifteen stone to
pick up and does not thou findst those white and gained appeare more to trust and
moulder and beneath their own, in leade you up the old me of this sense—
cannot miss, the lily of celestial bodies, now we met, to make
seems there’s art. Dare e’en death he reddest in a pleasant leaving lies.

Tumblr media
sorry for the delay! 48 animals. 5 rounds. 3 brackets. 1 tournament to settle it all. here in Creacher Contest 2022, the greatest minds in the history of this website (and you!) will gather to decide once and for all who is tumblr’s favorite little scrimblo bimblo. you all voted in the first round. now begins round 2 to decide the creacher among creachers!
Tumblr media
THE RESULTS AND THE ROUND 2 LINK (under the cut!)
CARD 1: Pikachu (winner!) vs. Stuart Little: with 286 votes against Stuart's 39, Pikachu has claimed the most overwhelming Round 1 victory with a whopping 88 percent! Does he have enough Z-Power to maintain this momentum in the coming matches? Stay tuned!
CARD 2: Tom & Jerry vs. Perry the Platypus (winner!): in a heinous act one can only describe as homophobic, Tom and his husband Jerry have been taken out of the game in Round 1 after accruing only 110 votes (33.8%) against Perry's 215 (66.2%). Reporters are calling this tragedy the worst thing to happen to gay people since my straight sister learned how to say 'yass'.
CARD 3: Kirby (winner!) vs. The Lorax: Our orange friend (56 votes, 17.2%) may have powerful connections here on Tumblr via the Onceler, but even those could not save him from the super tough pink puff. His current location is unknown and Kirby (269 votes, 82.8%) has been spotted with a yellow mustache. Call the police.
CARD 4: The Minions (winner!) vs. Talking Tom This match was a bit closer, but thanks to everyone's efforts, Talking Tom (133 votes, 40.9%) has been fucking sent to hell. Anyone else remember the schoolyard rumor that Talking Tom takes pictures of people through his eyes? Like sure the whole thing is probably some datamining thing but that's literally not how anything works??? How was this a rumor????? Ok anyways Minions win (192 votes, 59.1%)
CARD 5: Dog (Columbo) (winner!) vs. Dog (Good Omens): War is hell... but today in this dog-eat-dog world, one sleepy fucking hound (186 votes, 57.2%) rose to the occasion and proved himself to be a certified sloppy floppy. (note: do NOT confuse with 'sloppy toppy'. the resemblance is coincidental. all basset hounds are sloppy AND floppy. think Mr. J's signature 'sloppy style' and we will understand each other and then kiss.) I know nothing about Good Omens and have nothing to add for the other Dog, who admittedly did well in his own right with 139 votes, 42.8%.
CARD 6: Bond Forger vs. Gunter (winner!): I honestly thought this race would be closer, but that probably says more about me than them lol. Taking 67.1% of the card with 218 votes, Gunter has defeated Bond (107 votes, 32.9) in a victory for secret aliens everywhere.
CARD 7: Silkie vs. Waddles (winner!): As a Gen Z elder (lol) who watched Teen Titans reruns on Boomerang, Silkie (79 votes, 24.3%) had my vote. Did this poll reach a younger crowd than me, or is Waddles (246 votes, 75.7%) simply that powerful?
CARD 8: Temmie (winner!) vs. Puppycat: This matchup was super close! Temmie (176 votes, 54.2%) managed to beat Puppycat (149 votes, 45.8%), but there really was no clear winner until the end. This battle of what are basically two tbhs with animal features was certainly the most exciting!
CARD 9: Yoshi (winner!) vs. Chocobo: The only knowledge of Chocobos (98 votes, 30.2%) I have is from this stupid fucking Chocobo anthro art my friend used to spam my DMs with. I basically just needed a thematically similar animal to job to Yoshi (227 votes, 69.8%). Yoshi's Island DS was actually the first video game I physically owned as a kid, so he's kinda special to me lol
CARD 10: Little Buddy vs. Crab (winner!): I had personally predicted Crab's victory (231 votes, 71.1%), but not to such an extent! In only seven weeks. the release of Splatoon 3 (Splathreen) revitalized and expanded its title's fandom. However, it proved to be ineffective against the might of the humble crab, aka the only good thing Tumblr's done for April Fool's since the lizard election. RIP Wretched Tooth I miss you every day #wretchedtoothstandsfortruth
CARD 11: Mr. J (winner!) vs. Salem: L to Salem (114 votes, 35.1%), but you'll always hold a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, it won't be as special as the one reserved for Mr. J, Tumblr's favorite small cat and one of the few Tumblr famous bloggers I don't want to set adrift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Now that that's out of the way: MR. J SWEEP COME ON EVERYONE VOTE FOR MR. J WE CAN DO IT
CARD 12: The Four Dark Devas of Destruction vs. Hamtaro (winner!): Once again, I haven't consumed either media here and have nothing to say on the matter. However, my friend was happy to hear that "the Danganronpa one lost". Part of me has to agree.
CARD 13: Toothless (winner!) vs. Stitch: Not only was this the closest match with Toothless at 167 votes (51.4%) and Stitch at 158 votes (48.6%), it was also the most controversial, yielding multiple complaints and one (1) death threat. While I sympathize and realize that putting two contenders as strong as Toothless and Stitch together in the first round may not have been the best move, I need everyone to understand that they have similar faces and must be grouped together for that. Thank you. Peace and love
CARD 14: Appa (winner!) vs. Lion: Did the ATLA fandom coordinate a move on this tournament? Because Appa (266 votes, 81.8%) beat Lion (59 votes, 18.2%) by a landslide! The representative of one of Tumblr's historically biggest fandoms losing like this surprised me, but if some sort of fandom participation really did occur, that makes me happy :)
CARD 15: Garfield (winner!) vs. Scooby-Doo: Report: After consuming no less than seven entire large pizzas, Scooby-Doo (149 votes, 45.8%) the dog was immediately rushed to the fucking vet. His owner, Shaggy was found similarly unresponsive. Sorry, Scooby: it was a close race, but nobody can beat Garfield (176 votes, 54.2%) in the art of eating Italian food and doing fuck all. Better luck next time!
CARD 16: Dimple vs. Moomin (winner!): Even after the coming and going of the Moomin (262 votes, 80.6%) fandom directly on my dashboard, all I can fucking think of is that gif of a blob of white mochi getting fucking pummeled in an automatic mochi maker that someone tagged '#moomin...' no matter what I do. That aside, he wiped the floor with Dimple (63 votes, 19.4%), who admittedly should have lost by disqualification anyways.
CARD 17: K-9 vs. Gary (winner!): Most important poll of the day, serving it up, Gary's (229 votes, 70.5%) way! Gary did great up against K-9 (96 votes, 29.5%), who is in fact this poll's only representative of SuperWhoLock. SuperWho would've thought he'd only rack up that many votes? Truly, no fandom can transcend one's early childhood.
CARD 18: Midna (winner!) vs. Morgana: In this battle of scrunkly little cat people, Midna (193 votes, 59.4%) was the definite winner, beating out Morgana (132 votes, 40.6%) by a decent amount. Whoever wins this tournament should be playable in Smash Bros 6
CARD 19: Puffles (winner!) vs. Chao: I feel like the Puffles (191 votes, 58.8%) won for the same reason Gary won: sheer power of childhood memory. As a kid, I always wanted the black one... was it locked behind the paid membership? It's been several years, so naturally I forgor. As for Chaos (134 votes, 41.2%): I am so fucking sorry to the person who said #CHAOSWEEP in the comments lol
CARD 20: Cousin Itt (winner!) vs. Tony Tony Chopper: the one piece wasnt real :(
CARD 21: Rigby vs. Mushu (winner!): Personally, I was really gunning for Rigby (125 votes, 38.5%). With Dimple so immediately out of the race, I was hoping for at least one representative of pathetic men everywhere. That being said, congrats to Mushu (200 votes, 61.5%)! Vote for him in Round 2 if you want him to job to Mr. J!
CARD 22: Luna vs. Hobbes (winner!): I read Calvin and Hobbes as a kid and only recently watched Sailor Moon as a feature for my anime club, but I can honestly say I like both. I still think a crossover would be gold! Show me Luna (117 votes, 36.0%) offering Calvin and Hobbes (208 votes, 64.0%) magical girl powers, Calvin rejecting the offer performatively and whining about lack of powers. That's 12 full strips of Calvin and Hobbes! Make it happen.
CARD 23: Ein (winner!) vs. Iggy: Ok quick tangent. I just looked up 'ein cowboy bebop' to find out what he does, clicked into the wiki and found a tiny, useless article only to then realize I was not on Cowboy Bebop Wiki but in fact the dreaded Heroes Wiki. This and Villains Wiki are the bane of my existence and I'd raise a glass if all parties involved were stranded on a snowy mountain. The Heroes Wiki entry for Spike Spiegel is 1980 words. The Bebop Wiki entry is 8000 words! Why the fuck would I ever want to read the latter? Why does it exist? Are there seriously people who browse Heroes Wiki, just clicking from unrelated protagonist to unrelated protagonist? It has absolutely no functional use in any fandom whatsoever! Any time I look up a fictional character, there's a 90% chance that the Heroes or Villains entry will be the one Google puts on top as if to say 'yeah, this is what you want. trust me.' And without fail, I click it every time! Since the Nazis who own Fandom made the mobile version of all their wikis the same fuck-ugly yellow, I can never tell until it's too late and I've wasted nearly forty seconds of precious time. If I was Elon Musk, not only would I not buy Twitter, I would instead buy Fandom, blow both of these wretched wikis off the face of the fucking earth and ban the IP adresses of anyone to ever type a single word into one of their useless, obtrusive entries. I cannot possibly overstate how much vitriol I bear towards these websites. Please vindicate me in the replies. Anyways, Ein got 265 votes (81.5%) and the other one got 60 votes (18.5%).
CARD 24: Snoopy (winner!) vs. Sakamoto: Snoopy got 195 votes (60.0%) and Sakamoto got 130 votes (40.0%). To quote my cousin's reaction when they found out:
"thank you snoppy"
here's the link to vote in the second round! i'll probably keep it open until 11:59pm est on november 3rd, that way i can get round 3 out in time for destiel day :)
finally, to conclude the post, here is a selection of my favorite comments from round 1 (view on mobile for optimal experience!)

The Palladium
According to Apollodorus, Epitome, Chapter 5, Section 13:
Tumblr media
(I fricking hate this translation so also attaching the Greek text here.)
2. According to Photius, Bibliotheca, Codex 186:
Tumblr media
@jarondont It’s the story you’re looking for!
fun fact: the suffix -διον (-dion) adds the meaning of “little” in a word, so Palladion (palladium as the latinized version) means “little Pallas”, in which case is used to represent the statue cuz it’s literally one little Pallas Athena. (I’m mentioning it bc a few days ago I’ve run into a word Ἑρμίδιον which means “little Hermes”)

Rooster smiled as he scrolled down the pictures in his phone, chewing what was left of the mint-flavored gum as he waited for Maverick to show up. He couldn't help but look at the several pictures he had taken of Beatrice whenever she wasn't looking. It was his own little treasure trove of candid moments.
There were pictures of Bea in the kitchen, her brow furrowed in concentration as she cooked up one of her delicious meals. He had a series of photos of her gardening, her hands covered in dirt as she lovingly tended to her plants. There was even a picture of her sleeping, her face relaxed in slumber, her hair splayed out on the pillow.
Each image held a special place in his heart, a testament to the love and happiness they had found together. Rooster couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the life they had built.
Just as he was about to close the gallery and put his phone away, Maverick's text came in, letting him know he was on his way. Rooster quickly sent a reply, telling him to take his time, and then pocketed his phone.
He glanced around the base’s cafeteria, on the same table they often shared with his eyes looking around for his uncle. He then did a double take when he saw another pilot, one he hadn’t met before, approaching his seat.
Rooster couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise as the unfamiliar pilot approached his table. He had been expecting Maverick, not a stranger. Nevertheless, he put on a friendly smile as the pilot drew closer.
"Hey there," Rooster greeted, extending a hand. "I don't think we've met before. I'm Rooster."
The pilot grinned and shook Rooster's hand firmly. "I know who you are," he replied, "I'm Lieutenant Halton, but most people call me Hal. I've heard a lot about you, Lieutenant Bradshaw."
Rooster couldn't help but feel a bit flattered by the pilot's enthusiasm. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Hal. I… have to admit, I wasn't expecting any company other than my uncle today."
Jack took a seat across from Rooster, looking eager to chat. "Yeah, about that," he began, leaning in a bit closer, "I heard you and your uncle are pretty close. Mind if I ask you a few questions?"
Rooster’s smile dropped for a second, only to let out a confused laugh, “May I ask why?”
“Well,” the other man stands with his hands behind his back, “I was just transferred to this base.”
Rooster raised an eyebrow at the mention of a recent transfer. "I see," he replied, trying to keep his tone neutral. He wasn't quite sure where this conversation was headed, but he was curious to see where Lieutenant Halton was going with it. "Transfers happen all the time in the military. What's on your mind?"
Halton leaned in a bit closer, his expression earnest. "Well, I've heard that your uncle, Maverick, is one of the best pilots in the business," he said. "And I'm always looking to learn from the best. I was wondering if you could put in a good word for me, maybe introduce me to him."
Rooster studied Halton for a moment, his instincts on high alert. It wasn't uncommon for pilots to want to learn from experienced aces like Maverick, but something about this situation didn't sit right with him. Maverick was a legend, and Rooster was protective of his uncle's time and reputation.
Plus, Mav only chose the ones he met firsthand. And those he knew about.
"I appreciate your enthusiasm, Hal," Rooster began carefully, "but my uncle's schedule can be pretty busy. And he also has responsibilities outside of flying. I'm not sure if he has the time to take on a protege right now." or ever.
Halton's face fell slightly, but he quickly masked his disappointment with a smile. "I understand," he said, nodding. "But if you could just put in a word for me, let him know that I'm eager to learn and willing to work hard, I'd really appreciate it."
Rooster couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic toward the other pilot. He remembered what it was like to be new to the Navy, "I'll mention it to him," he promised. "But I can't make any guarantees. Just keep doing your best, and who knows, maybe your paths will cross naturally."
Halton brightened up at the prospect of even a small chance. "Thank you, Rooster," he said sincerely. "I really appreciate it. And if there's anything I can do to repay the favor, just let me know."
Rooster waved off the offer with a smile. "No need for that," he replied. "We're all part of the same team here. Just focus on your training and your duties, and you'll do just fine." Halton salutes him and then walks away leaving Rooster slowly chewing his gum with his arms crossed on the table.
His eyes narrowed as he thought about this encounter, then he hummed, looking around a bit, “Only a few people would know of newcomers at the base,” his eyes flicked to the left, “And I know exactly who it is.”
The Duckies, aka Rooster’s fanboys, were seated not too far from him. Faraday,McAllister and Thompson often sat either close by or within view of him, they didn’t even noticed most of the time and Rooster didn’t think
Rooster couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. He had a hunch that Halton's sudden interest in meeting his uncle Maverick wasn't as innocent as it seemed. The fact that Halton knew he was Maverick's nephew raised some red flags. Maverick was a highly respected and sought-after pilot, and he wasn't one to take on proteges lightly. 
Or at all.
He was so deep in thought he hadn’t heard Maverick himself walking up to him, jumping when his uncle playfully punched his shoulder, “Sorry I’m late, paperwork.”
Rooster turned to his uncle Maverick, a wry smile on his face. "Paperwork, huh?" he teased. "You're becoming more and more like a desk jockey every day, aren't you?"
Maverick chuckled, taking a seat in front of Rooster, groaning in reply. "Don't remind me," he replied. "But hey, at least I'm not in a hurry to retire like some people I know."
Rooster grinned. "We both know you’ll never retire if you can."
Maverick's eyes flicked to the Duckies, who were sitting not too far away, and he raised an eyebrow. "Speaking of retirement, it looks like your fan club is still going strong."
Rooster followed his uncle's gaze and couldn't help but chuckle…he had developed a soft spot for them. "Yeah, they're a persistent bunch," Rooster said with a grin, folding his hands to prop his chin on top. "But they mean well."
Maverick nodded. "It's good to have fans," he replied. "Just don't let them distract you too much from your own goals."
Rooster nodded in agreement. "I won't, Uncle. I know what's important." he pauses, “...speaking of fans." Rooster began, "I had a strange encounter with a new pilot a few minutes ago. His name's Halton, and he seemed really eager to meet you."
Maverick raised an eyebrow. "Halton, you say?"
Rooster nodded. "Yeah, he asked me if I could introduce him to you. He seemed almost...obsessed with the idea."
Maverick's expression turned thoughtful. "That is strange," he mused. "I wonder what he wants."
“...you aren’t worried?”
Maverick sighed, shrugging at him, “Should I be?”
Rooster considered his uncle's question for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't know, Mav," he replied honestly. "It just struck me as odd how persistent he was. Maybe he's just a really enthusiastic fan."
Maverick leaned back in his chair, a contemplative look in his eyes. "Maybe," he conceded. "But I'll keep an eye out for this Halton guy. It doesn't hurt to be cautious."
Rooster nodded in agreement. "That's true. Anyway, how's everything going with you, Maverick? Besides the paperwork."
Maverick let out a deep sigh, his shoulders slumping slightly. "Honestly, Rooster, it's been a bit of a rough patch lately. The higher-ups are putting more pressure on me to take on administrative roles and step away from active flight duty. They say it's time for the next generation to take the reins."
Rooster frowned, concern etching his features. "But you love flying, Mav. It's who you are."
Maverick nodded, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I know, Rooster. But sometimes, we have to make sacrifices for the greater good. The Navy needs fresh leadership, and I can't ignore that."
Rooster could sense the inner conflict within his uncle. Maverick had always been a pilot through and through, and the thought of him stepping away from the cockpit was a significant change. Almost…scary "You'll still be involved, right? It's not like you're leaving the Navy altogether?"
Maverick gave a half-smile. "I’d like them to get rid of me.I'll still be overseeing training programs and mentoring the new generation. But it won't be the same as being up there in the skies." he sighs, “...maybe I can convince them to stop being jerks and let me continue.”
“You think they will?”
His uncle pursed his lips, then arched his brows, “I have my ways to convince them. Besides, I can make something up eventually…I’m not ready to retire.”
Rooster grinned, recognizing the determined glint in Maverick's eyes. "I have no doubt you'll find a way to stay in the cockpit, Mav. After all, you're not just a great pilot; you're a master persuader too."
Maverick chuckled. "Well, let's hope my powers of persuasion are as sharp as my flying skills."
“When weren’t they?”
“I mean there were a few times.” he shrugs, ‘You know, just a few times when it happened and I was really dealt the heavy cards.
Rooster nodded, tapping his finger against the wooden table, “Yeah,I get it.” he didn’t know why the idea of Maverick retiring was so…weird and scary for him. Was it because he had just got back to talking to Mav and he wanted his uncle to see what he accomplished? Or was it just because Maverick’s presence was a reminder of his dad in some way?
Maybe he should stop thinking about it right now.
-
“I’m home.” he says, already toeing out his boots with a soft grunt escaping his throat, “Fuck that’s good,” he blinks, looking around and trying to see if Bea,Nikki and the dogs were anywhere within his sight “Babe?”
The sound of Rooster's voice reached Beatrice in the living room, where she was sitting on the floor with Nicole, engrossed in playing with colorful building blocks. The dogs, Jack and Jolene , were sprawled out lazily nearby, enjoying the indoor playtime while Eleanor was too busy growling at the birds outside in their garden.
Beatrice looked up, her face lighting up with a smile at the sound of her husband's voice. "In here, Roos!" she called out.
Rooster followed her voice, dropping his things to the floor and pulling his sunglasses up to his hairline "Hey, there," he greeted Beatrice with a tender kiss,leaning down to meet her on the couch. "Missed you."
Beatrice returned the kiss, her lips lingering against his for a moment. "Missed you too," she murmured, her eyes filled with affection, gently stroking his chin. She then turned her attention to Nicole, who was reaching out to her father with chubby little arms. "And someone's been waiting to see you too."
Rooster's face lit up as he took Nicole into his arms, cuddling her close. "Hey there, birdie," he cooed, pressing a soft kiss to her tiny forehead. Nicole let out a delighted giggle, her tiny hands reaching for his face. “I missed you too.”
"How was your day, handsome?" Beatrice asked as she watched Rooster and Nicole share a sweet moment.
Rooster sighed contentedly, his eyes never leaving his daughter's face. "Long, as usual," he replied. "But seeing both of you makes it all worth it."
Beatrice reached out and caressed Rooster's cheek with a soft, loving touch. "We missed you too," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "Everything good there,then?”
Rooster leaned in and kissed Beatrice's forehead. "Yeah, everything's running smoothly," he replied. "We're just preparing for the upcoming exercises. It's been pretty routine lately."
Beatrice nodded, her fingers still tracing soothing patterns on Rooster's cheek. "Routine is good," she said softly. "It means things are stable."
Rooster smiled,”But I did meet a random officer.” he says, adjusting Nicole on his hold, “His name was…Halton,I think, he was really interested in meeting Maverick for some reason.”
Beatrice stared at him for a few seconds, “...Halton?”
“Yeah.” Her face paled and Rooster furrowed his brows, “Bea?”
She giggled softly, then cleared her throat, “Well um…h-how would you react if I told you…that’s Miranda’s last name?”
Rooster blinked, his mind processing Beatrice's words. "Wait, you mean Miranda as in our neighbor?" he asked, his voice tinged with surprise. “That Miranda?”
Beatrice nodded, a slightly sheepish expression on her face. "Yeah, that Miranda."
“Oh…that…” he frowns, “How exactly do you know that?”
“Ah,well,maybe you should sit down?”

Confession #186
"hello hehe i feel like im sitting in a chair and someone just gave me a mike or something. ok but: also a Lower Decks themed confession.
I think Mariner is kind of annoying. Going against a flawed system and being little punk is fine. but she is SO BAD at working in a team.
Her whole cycle is: acting immaturely -> sabotaging herself -> fucking up -> saving the day (partly bc shes skillful, but theres also a whole bunch of luck involved).
She cant be lucky all this time. i kinda wanna see her fail at least once. Also the way she makes everything about herself and her issues... ok we KNOW she's the most complex character, but i find her the least interesting. She does the same thing all the time and never progresses as a character
ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH: i kinda do like how she fucks up in the same way every time. bc that just realistic. as a person who has been stuck in life from time to time i appreciate that. if you have personal/mental problems which disable you in some kind of way it WILL be the same shit every fucking time. you do the same mistakes every time and its really frustrating. kinda how its frustrating to watch Mariner do yet another high stakes action without informing her team and endangering everyone (like PLEASE just communicate).
I do perfere watching the engineering/science nerds though <3 my friends my babies <3. And the end of season 4 gave Mariner a glimbse of character development so i'm hopeful.
(reading that other post about people calling Mariner a Mary Sue: oh DEFINETLY not. she's so flawed. like, SO flawed. she has lots to work out)"
Note from Cleo: Apologies for cutting the confession in the edit but it was a little much and I thought it would make the most of it in text instead.

[image description: An ancient photo of a man in a dark suit with a striped tie. With his thin frame, dark hair, protruding ears, and difficult-to-read expression, he resembles Czech author Franz Kafka. Behind him, a stack of luggage; on his lapel, a huge beetle. Text (in a scrawled hand) reads, “186, Gregor ’Samson’ Knight, small god of Existential Baggage”]
• • • • •
For life to be worth living, it must have meaning.  It must have purpose.  It must, in some small way, inform the universe.  And when the fear that none of these things are true can send a mind into an endless spiral, unable to rise above its own panic, its own fear that when it fades away, no one will notice the absence.
In these moments, Gregor is there.
Perhaps you are a cat, he whispers, into the silence of the night.  Perhaps your form is as mutable as your mind, and when you wake tomorrow, you’ll be a linden tree, or a butterfly, or a stag beetle the size of a human.  The world has no meaning, and so you mean nothing, and you can be changed, or rewritten, on a whim.
Gregor is a liar.  Eva Dence, who follows close behind him, will do her best to tell the truth as the situation presents it.  “You think, therefor you are,” she murmurs.  “Yes, the universe changes daily, and we learn new things every time we turn around, but we have never learned that people can wake up as entirely new things; we have learned that flesh is, for the most part, reliable, that oxygen persists, that you exist, and we believe in you, and the world believes in you, and if you cannot believe in you, perhaps our belief can be enough, for now.”
They often travel together, Gregor and Eva, and he tells cruel lies, and she tells sugared truths, and they count their victories in souls swayed to their side.  Too much meaning can crush a heart, but too little can leave a mind unmoored and drifting, no longer sure where safety lies.
Gregor is not cruel.  He is as all small gods are, as our belief has made him.  For a god of meaninglessness, he means that we were enough to call him forth, and that contradiction lives in his every moment.
He is not cruel, but oh, he lies.
