A Turn Of Fates (Part 1)

Based on the prompts by @connor-sent-by-cyberlife, specifically the ‘Friend and Enemy’ prompt, but is going to be an ongoing story. This is not necessarily for the list, but I felt the need to upload this one in reference to it, since it was the second story inspired by the prompt. Part of why I wrote it, aside from the inspiration of the prompt itself, was the fact that, in the highway chase between Connor, Kara and Alice, I felt a little disappointed with all the different outcomes, and wanted to add one of my own, one which I felt could lead to a deviating storyline (see what I did there ^^ hehe (I’m pathetic)).

Pairings: Light HankCon / Hannor / Hank X Connor (May Be Updated In Future)

Warnings: - Android Gore - Near Unknowing, Attempted Suicide - Violence - Mentions and Implications of Abuse - Major Character Death

Words: 1770

Enjoy!

‘Do NOT go after them, Connor! That’s an order!’ Though Hank’s words pressed him to stay, clinging to the chain link fence and awaiting the inevitable, Connor felt his arms and legs beginning to move, as if on their own terms. He couldn’t let them get away; if they succeeded in crossing the highway, he would fail. If they failed to cross the highway, and were destroyed in the process, he would fail.

‘Connor! Goddammit!’ He would pre-construct the best explanation later, but he had to do this. He couldn’t allow the deviant, the AX400, and the YK500 to be shattered in pieces across the road. It would not aid their mission, and a small piece of Connor’s mind was hard-wired to call out. As if his words alone might halt them from crossing the road. It was a small strain, but a desperate one that pulled at the back of his head. He ignored t, drawing closer to the road.

Before him, the AX400 had taken a few glancing blows to the body and arms, but had prevented any damage to YK500. Spatters of thirium dotted the road from where the trucks and cars had briefly collided with it. Of course, no vehicle would slow down; no android would ever just cross the road at a busy highway. Instead, the self-driving vehicles that made up the majority of the oncoming traffic, had been input with sensors to determine the presence of living creatures on the road.

The cars would not stop for androids.

He made it to the road, felt the wind of a passing car tear through his synthetic skin. If he had been human, perhaps it would have stung, but he barely noticed it. His HUD was an explosion of colour, detailing what paths to take, error signs blaring as every other car came just slightly too close. The wet of the rain made it hard to calculate exactly what he needed to do to avoid being damaged, every minor slip causing him to nearly lose his leg or more of his body.

There was a rush through him, one he didn’t quite understand. Whilst his thirium pump was beating aggressively within the cavity of his chest, it wasn’t like the ‘adrenaline’ he was familiar with. It was a painful, claustrophobic feeling across his body, every time a car or truck came just that little too close for comfort.

The deviant tripped over the second guardrail, its female face in a puddle of rainwater created by a minor pothole. It turned to the child-like android, as the little one made its way over the guard rail and attempted to help the deviant to its feet. Connor leapt over the first and raced up the thin island of grass and the only safe spot in the centre of the road.

From how close he was now, Connor could scan the androids. The YK500 was missing its LED; a sign that, perhaps, whoever had owned it, didn’t wish to be reminded of its artificial nature. It was unlikely that the LED was removed by the AX400, as the process, whilst not painful, could trigger a reaction in the YK500 akin to ‘fear’. It was made to act like a child, after all, and most sharp tools directed to one’s own temple tended to cause a distressed reaction in most androids.

The clothes, on both the androids, was too large for them; an adult’s clothes, but nothing tailored or overly expensive. Simply store bought from one of the many malls in Detroit.

There were the finest traces of thirium close to the surface of the YK500’s, located just beneath the right eye. As uneven as it was, it would suggest ‘bruising’, caused by a blow to the head. Considering the AX400’s demeanour to protect the ‘child’, Connor doubted that their most recent witness to deviancy, a mister Todd Williams, was entirely telling the truth about what occurred the night he was ‘attacked’.

Despite the strange, claustrophobic feeling in his chest, Connor also felt as if his blue blood was boiling. He didn’t understand it. He didn’t question it. Not now.

‘Instability; Increased.’

He leapt over the final guard rail, and Connor was upon them in an instant. The AX400 had pushed the smaller of the two androids across the remaining stretch of concrete. The YK500 stood in the dirt and mud, watching as Connor and the deviant grappled in the middle of the highway.

Another truck passed by far too close, and Connor felt his thirium pump seize for all of 3.06 seconds. He was managing to hold the deviant close, his strength far greater than that of the housekeeping android. Tried as it might, it couldn’t loosen his grip. He opened his mouth to speak when he heard the wind whistling past his ear and felt the sudden there-and-gone pressure of a rear-view mirror. It scraped across his chassis, ruining part of his uniform and tearing it enough that the synthetic skin had retreated from the damage.

His own thirium spilled across the highway, and his arms opened on reflex in an attempt to cover the damaged area.

As he released the android, there was a cry from the other side of the road; a child’s voice calling out in distress. Connor’s optical units zeroed in on the AX400’s gaze, where the head had turned as a reaction.

‘Watch out, Kara!’

By then, it was too late. The deviant’s limp body was swept up by the hood of a driver-less vehicle. Her body went high into the air for all of several seconds before it fell to the road. The legs had been snapped off at the knee joint, thirium spilling out in all directions. Connor watched with that sense of claustrophobia growing, as if something was clenching tightly at his biocomponents.

Its head had snapped around to face him when it hit the pavement, the neck joint split in four places from the landing. The equivalent of a human’s neck breaking. Connor’s eyes widened on the sight, and a heavy pit weighed down his body, optical units watching with dread as the YK500 stepped onto the road.

‘K-Kara…?’

When the second screech of tires came racing down the highway, Connor didn’t hesitate this time. He raced forward, as fast as is long, impaired legs could manage. He reached out, feeling the wet coat through his fingers, as he pulled the child to him, and half-tackled them across the road. He curled his body up, and with his velocity, carried them into the safety of the mud and grime. A truck, that would have shattered its fragile body on impact, continued its route onward, undeterred by the obstruction of the body on the road, and the androids safely sat on the other side.

Connor couldn’t tell if it was the child who was trembling, or himself. He peered at the damage on the road, watching as the next car and then the next, continued to spread what remained of the deviant across the road. He could feel the child’s small hands beginning to bat at his chest, attempting to push him away, but Connor simply held them closer.

He could see the stress levels increasing in the child, how it had, without realising, attempted to self-destruct by running out onto the road when the deviant had been hit. To recover it from self-destruction, all Connor could do was hold it until Hank and the other officers got to their position.

Peering up at the chain link fence he had climbed to continue the chase, he could see Hank was gone, and the sound of sirens and muted Knights of the Black Death could be heard crossing the bridge above their head.

‘Kara!’ The cry was muffled in his uniform, a desperate, anguished plea so akin to a wounded or upset child.

‘Instability; Increased.’

Artificial, thirium based tears, had created a minor damp in his uniform by the time Hank was racing down the uneven hill. Connor watched him with wide eyes, and as the officers had begun setting up a small, blocked off space of road, so they might retrieve what they could of the deviant. Hank approached his side, and though it seemed as if he might strike Connor, the anger in his eyes softened at the sight of the trembling child. A paternal, instinctual reaction, as he raised a hand to the child’s head and attempted to soothe it.

As Hank pressed closer to Connor, in an attempt to create a smooth transition from one person to another, expecting the RK800 to pass him the android, there was a moment of surprise from both as Connor simply hugged the child tighter. Her fists were bunched up in his clothes now, and something about letting her go failed to diminish his ‘concern’.

Eventually, it was decided that Connor would be the one to transport the android to Hank’s car so they could return to the precinct. Connor followed Hank’s orders, holding the stressed little one tight to him and not letting them go, even when he had entered into the car. He watched through the windows as the traffic was redirected around a series of police banners and pylons, allowing the tech and investigative team to pick up the literal pieces of the chase.

Hank seemed about as shaken as Connor felt, and took a moment to breathe deeply once he had entered into the car. His eyes turned to the child in Connor’s arms and to Connor himself, leaning over just enough to raise one hand to Connor’s face. His thumb swept across Connor’s cheeks, revealing a wetness between the tips of his thumb and fingers. Connor was ‘crying’.

‘I didn’t think androids could cry.’

‘We can’t. Not really…’ Connor returned, lowering his head to rest his cheek atop the YK500’s hair. It was soft, despite it being a simple visage. Wet from the time in the rain, and with the smell of soap from the hotel tub. He felt he couldn’t breathe, even though androids didn’t have to take in oxygen, it felt as if his breath was caught in his throat. He let out a sound he did not recognise.

‘Connor…’

‘Let’s just head back to the precinct, Hank.’ His voice was a strained kind of stern, Connor attempting to hide the strange feelings by pressing them back behind walls of coded security. The child shifted in his arms, and Connor could tell she was entering into a stressed stasis, her body attempting to recover from the emotional shock.

‘We finished the mission.’

‘Instability; Decreased.’

A Hellstrop look at 4.03

Going through it scene-by-scene:

Opening scene, these two are looking domestic AF -- outside, sharing some coffee (presumably), which makes me think of their matching coffee cups at the airport at the end of 3.05. I also find it interesting that they’re plotting their day together, rather than with the rest of the Soul Squad. Just reiterates what I said earlier -- Eleanor and Michael are co-leading (or co-parenting) this Good Place Experiment 2.0.

So, then. Eleanor brings up what a dork Chidi is, which Michael also laughs pretty heartily at. It’s when she remarks on how much she loves him, that Michael changes the subject.

“It’s so great he erased his memory,” Michael says... almost like he’s happy that he gets to spend less time with Chidi and more time with Eleanor. But, then he sees the look on Eleanor’s face, and he quickly remarks how he’s always cognizant of how Chidi electing to erase his memories has caused Eleanor pain. He specifically says that he always thinks about it and he’s respectful of Chidi’s sacrifice. Hmmm....

Then, when Chidi approaches, all chipper and blissfully unaware of who exactly they are to him, Michael is practically beaming.

In the office scene right after the ‘coffee date,’ as it were, Michael -- who has known Chidi through 803 reboots and during his two-year reboot on Earth in the new timeline, says that he’s never seen Chidi so relaxed before. Huh. And, then of course, he -- very rightly, I will clarify -- says that Chidi needs to be tortured in order to become a better person. OK. Eleanor’s on board with it, and she’s very gung-ho about using her ‘torturing ex-boyfriend skills’ for Chidi’s betterment.

I also find it interesting that Michael (and Eleanor) decide to turn to Jason for help in torturing Chidi. Wouldn’t they be afraid that Jason could accidentally give the whole thing away? Also, Jason seems to like Chidi and says himself that he’s coming off the heels of a rough break-up and maybe isn’t the right person for the job. But, of course, they know exactly how effective Jason will be at making Chidi miserable enough to decide to better himself, so they pursue it anyway.

I think the whole crux of the episode, as we’ll talk about more later, is that Eleanor is acting kind of petty with this whole ‘motivating Chidi via torture’ thing. While everyone -- even Michael -- says it’s time to let up, she’s like no, let’s keep going until he’s straight-up miserable. It’s almost like that whole “If I can’t have you, no one can.” Eleanor has grown a lot, but she’s still clearly vindictive toward her ex-boyfriend for “abandoning” her, even though he did it in an act of self-sacrifice.

When Michael and Eleanor visit Stressed!Chidi, they’re wearing matching sweater / bow tie. So cute!!! When they wear matching blues and pinks and purples, it’s usually pretty subtle. But, this was VERY obvious, thanks to that bright shade of yellow. I wonder if any of the residents ever wonder if these two Architects are a ~couple~. Like, they don’t know how Architects’ lives work. Maybe. Who knows?

Also, Michael seems to be very happy to see Chidi being tortured again. And then of course the little fist-bump between them. :)

At the luau, Michael and Eleanor are wearing matching leis!

So... who’s idea was it to create the helpful Magic Ants? Michael seems to have control over them, since Eleanor tells him to call them. Also, even though we didn’t get the scene, I would’ve loved to have seen Michael and Eleanor drinking champagne in their shared co-Architects’ office, because they are the co-parents of this neighborhood. But, damn, Chidi’s torture is to the point where Michael’s saying they need to ease off and Eleanor’s even more gung-ho. And I love the little touch of Eleanor moving to Michael’s side whenever Chidi comes into the office. Rather than moving closer to Chidi, she moves closer to Michael.

And then THE ANTS SHOW UP! Did Michael already mentally summon them with his demon powers???

OK, so for the Chidi-almost-confesses-and-Eleanor-breaks-down scene:

I know I’m not the first to point this out, but I love how, even when Michael is facing Chidi and talking to him, his body is still pointed at Eleanor. I feel like I remember some random tidbit back in my hardcore dating days. If you’re standing in a group (circle or semi-circle) of people, and you want to see who someone’s the most interested in, look at where their feet are pointed. I feel like this is actually kind of worthless when it comes to trying to figure out whether your crush actually likes you or whatever, BUT, I think it’s a point worth making here.

And, of course, their blocking reinforces everything this season has given us so far. Eleanor is in charge; Michael is her ‘assistant’ / co-Architect; and Chidi is THEIR subject now. He’s no longer an equal. Michael and Eleanor are really the equals here, even though Eleanor and Chidi are supposed to be our couple. It’s sad, really, and as much as I love Eleanor and Chidi, I’m very curious as to how the show is going to give us their romance again considering they now have a very unbalanced dynamic. (Unless they somehow give Chidi his memories back, which I’m not sure if that’s even possible.)

“And this is the Universe getting back at me” -- not the Universe, buddy. Just a bitter ex-girlfriend.

And that fact that Chidi thinks that Eleanor is God (or the God equivalent of this afterlife) just further reinforces how much I feel like we’re not really going to get Chidi and Eleanor as a real couple again. (Unless, again, they give him his memories back.)

So, as Eleanor’s having her little cry, Michael stands by her side, gives her a box of tissues, explains away her remark about how she’d promised to take care of him. And his dialogue again points out that this is Eleanor’s neighborhood. SHE’s the Architect. He’s helping her, sure; but she’s the one calling the shots now. Then, I love how he basically tells Chidi that Chidi’s pain is Eleanor’s pain, and then basically tells Chidi that he will blow up whatever the problem is. LOL

Like “OK, anything that’s causing Eleanor pain is going to get blown up. So, just tell me what it is!” Of course, Michael’s in on the whole thing, but it’s still kinda funny that that’s how he frames it to Chidi.

AND THEN, when Chidi tries to offer his apologies and comfort Eleanor for causing her pain, Michael LITERALLY SHOVES HIM OUT OF THE ROOM!!! “She’ll be fine [as long as you’re not around]!”

LMAO, you guys

So.

Now we come to the “Eleanor figures out why she’s been acting so vicious” scene.

Want to point out that it looks like Michael’s pocket square matches Eleanor’s sweater.

Michael points out that Eleanor & co. were only torturing Chidi because they had to. He basically gives her an out. He says what they were doing was necessary for the experiment, but -- because Eleanor’s grown so much -- she has to verbalize exactly why she did what she did without being prompted.

As we saw with flashbacks in earlier seasons, one of Eleanor’s biggest insecurities was people leaving her. In relationships, she always wanted to be the dump-er not the dump-ee, to the point where she reads Sam’s emails to his dad just so she can get the drop on him before he has the chance to leave her. This time, though, Chidi was the one who left HER, and she was angry, as she says.

Eleanor points out that Chidi is the person she talks to when she’s angry. But, we’ve seen her talk to Michael when she’s been angry, namely in 3.06 when she has her emotional outburst saying “I wanted that mom!” And, just like there, we can see why she prefers to go to Chidi instead of Michael (when she has the option, which wasn’t the case in 3.06), because Michael doesn’t understand human emotion.

“You’re often happy when you should be sad, and angry when you should be happy.”

But, just like last episode, Michael is the one there, comforting her, telling her to get her shirt together because they have work to do, and she’s the only one who can lead them right now. He tells her that she’s entitled to be a little angry, and that she’s on a road to work through it. Which is a much better response than he had for her during her little outburst in 3.06. So, Michael’s growing too, and learning what Eleanor and the rest of the Soul Squad need from him, even though he’s not human and doesn’t understand their emotions.

P.S. Also, after rewatching that clip of the hooded figure making their way to the Good Place experiment, I’m thinking it’s either Shawn or Vicki in the Michael!SkinSuit. It seems to be a person of a taller, broader build, and they seem to be wearing more formal looking shoes. But, that could just be a stand-in and not actually representative of whomever it actually is. But, Vicky-as-Michael seems like the best bet right now, considering that was brought up in the 4.01 “previously on” and hasn’t really been mentioned since. I feel that like that’s a shoe that has to drop at some point soon.

the magicians, in hindsight, is depressing as fuck. seriously, think about it:

julia starts out the show as this ambitious, driven, questioning person with good fucking boundaries, not afraid to stand up for herself, not afraid to get angry, not afraid to say that she deserves better. and then she gets her agency overridden every season. until eventually -- “maybe sometimes life is random and unfair. you know, it doesn’t always ask our permission” (3.07, when she’s finally accepted reynard’s seed (ugh)). except that ‘life’ didn’t do this to you, julia: someone else made a decision for you, against your will and explicit wishes. S4 julia is so very different from S1 julia, and yeah, they all are, but the way she’s different...she doesn’t rage anymore. when penny23 said that alice was considering ripping out julia’s power even if it would kill her, what does julia do? looks sympathetically at quentin. can you imagine S1!julia doing that? i can’t. i keep thinking about what richard told her in S1: “i think that us angry, questioning people sometimes shut up too fast, and that is probably part of why the gods took off. no one around with the fire to keep yelling their names. this is gonna sound corny, but don’t lose that fire.” when penny23 made her human in 4.13, she pretty much instantly forgave him. that’s symbolism, i guess: lose the fire, lose the divinity. and i think it’s no coincidence that julia’s connection is with persephone. persephone is the personification of ‘you make the best of what you’re given’. persephone got abducted, persephone got seeds shoved into her, and then persephone learned to love hades.

and penny! penny hides his big heart behind a sharp tongue, and then he dies and nobody cries or has anything to say, and he doesn’t get to come back to life and live his life better. he keeps sacrificing himself for the group to prove his worth, and then they replace him (“it’s everyone else, acting like finding you is enough when our penny is out there”).

eliot opens his heart in S1, gets punished for that, has a downward spiral, sacrifices himself to a life-long marriage to a woman (that he thought would kill him), finds love only to get scared, gets possessed due to that love, decides to be brave (again)...only for quentin to die because, you know, you make a mistake and then nothing gets better, ever.

quentin starts out the show with “nothing was ever not gonna be pointless and empty, then, uh, why go on?” and learns to go cold (2.13 “it’s not really a trait that’s helped me much”; 3.12 “yeah, maybe”) and then his depression wins out (”i’m so tired of fighting all the time, becoming someone that i actually want to be, and then realizing that i am nothing” “i was supposed to mean something here” “you would find your way back to sadness no matter how far you run from it” “nothing is going to save you: not brakebills, not fillory, not a quest”) and he kills himself.

i don’t even know what to say about margo, alice, and kady, except that: their arcs started to look strong, and then got cut off at the knees. margo had a literal desert quest and explored her feminist rage, and then...got shackled to a boyfriend (when she has never in the fucking show indicated that she wants a boyfriend) (...having thoughts about how margo’s entire thing is fighting the patriarchy and heteronormativity and then she...ends up succumbing to it). alice was on her way to confronting and accepting herself (“i didn’t kill the keys. fear did. you did.” “we still don’t know what we’re capable of”), and then she...got demoted to quentin’s girlfriend. kady wanted her life to feel like it was about her and worked to make that happen, and then...suddenly she wanted to die to be with her dead boyfriend because apparently all she ever wanted was to be his girlfriend. what the hell happened here?

(the exception to this is josh, i think. in timeline 23 he was never rescued from the neitherlands, but our josh? was. and gets to be a part of the group (in fact, penny had to die with the fact that the group didn’t really value him, while josh got an entire episode around wanting to be included that ended with them saying “sorry we’ve been assholes to you”). and gets margo (ugh). and gets to just...live at castle whitespire and cook to his heart’s content when he wants to, and be a part of the action-y parts when he wants to.)

so: julia loses her fire. quentin goes cold. eliot and penny learn that if you fuck up, you don’t get a second chance*. and magic? magic really does come from pain. “why can’t it run on love?” because love means nothing in the face of the show’s nihilist framework. they say it several times: life is random and unfair. margo might find quentin’s love inspiring, but that’s as far as it goes.

* and that’s kind of infuriating because alice does. alice fucked up on a big scale, and she got a second chance. five minutes after the betrayal she got to spend time with santa claus solely so that he could say that she’s still on his nice list. and then she got a second chance with q.

in 1.01, fogg and jane take away quentin’s meds and reject julia from brakebills, because this will help them kill the beast. julia had to “grow stronger”, but that had nothing to do with learning advanced spells or whatever: she did that at brakebills in the other timelines (2.10). julia had to suffer so that her magic would be stronger. and guess what? it works. do they ever get to question whether it’s fucking worth it? the closest we come is in 3.06 and 4.03, and how does that go?

penny: you’re the one who had magic, and you gave it away. what’s your plan? go back to law school? live off your trust fund? julia: actually, no, my plan was to take five minutes and try to remember what life was like without a god or a quest or some dead asshole bothering me. and, i don’t know, frankly beyond that, it’s none of your business. penny: ‘cause you have nothing beyond that.

quentin: what did we get in return? julia: magic is back. quentin: not in the way that we wanted. how are you not furious? julia: because for almost everyone the world is a little brighter, even if they never know why. i hate the library for what they did, but my part in it, i knew what it cost. and i’d do it again. but you wouldn’t.

but he does, doesn’t he? because instead of quentin giving up quests because it’s not fucking worth it, he kills himself while simultaneously sacrificing himself for a quest.

as a bonus: the interspecies relationship gets a happy ending, and the child-raping pedophile gets to live forever.

and that’s the show! that is what it looks like! maybe someone else can put a positive spin on this, but for now? this is what i’ve got. this is what it looks like to me. this is what four years of caring about these characters has led to.

yeah, i’m not watching season five. i can handle bleak shows, but those tend to be on cable and prioritize concept over character. on a little network b trash show? that is character driven? nah, man. nah. that is not what i’m looking for. it does not spark joy.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:Stalia

my ultimate favorite character™:Lydia Martin. She’s grown so much over the course of the show. I really loved seeing her learn to be proud of her strengths and show off her intelligence. Her powers get so interesting by the end of the series, and she goes through so much pain to get there.

16. Buffy Anne Summers; My Light, My Savior, My Lover by Bangel4ever

Summary: Just a little ficlet...Angel was often labeled as taciturn and unexpressive but if we were to ask him what Buffy means to him and he was to put it to words, what would it be? No specific timeline but it is post-Chosen and NFA and ignores comics.

every episode of heartland ever [ amber marshall as amy fleming ] || 3.06 - growing pains (first aired: November 8, 2009)

You know, it’s amazing really. I feel great. Yeah, who needs eight hours of sleep? Yeah, who needs three hours of sleep? Well, give it a few days. Looking after an orphaned foal’s like looking after a newborn. Minus the diaper changing, of course. I think we can handle it, Grandpa.

Photo

A schoolboy holds a leather ball in a photograph on a bedroom wall the bed is made, the curtains drawn as silence greets the break of dawn. The dusk gives way to morning light revealing shades of red and white which hang from posters locked in time of the Liverpool team of 89. Upon a pale white quilted sheet a football kit is folded neat with a yellow scarf, trimmed with red and some football boots beside the bed. In hope, the room awakes each day to see the boy who used to play but once again it wakes alone for this young boy’s not coming home. Outside, the springtime fills the air the smell of life is everywhere viola’s bloom and tulips grow while daffodils dance heel to toe. These should have been such special times for a boy who’d now be in his prime but spring forever turned to grey in the Yorkshire sun, one April day. The clock was locked on 3.06 as sun shone down upon the pitch lighting up faces etched in pain as death descended on Leppings Lane. Between the bars an arm is raised amidst a human tidal wave a young hand yearning to be saved grows weak inside this deathly cage. A boy not barely in his teens is lost amongst the dying screams a body too frail to fight for breath is drowned below a sea of death His outstretched arm then disappears to signal thirteen years of tears as 96 souls of those who fell await the toll of the justice bell. Ever since that disastrous day a vision often comes my way I reach and grab his outstretched arm then pull him up away from harm. We both embrace with tear-filled eyes I then awake to realise it’s the same old dream I have each week as I quietly cry myself to sleep. On April the 15th every year when all is calm and skies are clear beneath a glowing Yorkshire moon a lone scots piper plays a tune. The tune rings out the justice cause then blows due west across the moors it passes by the eternal flame then engulfs a young boys picture frame. His room is as it was that day for thirteen years it’s stayed that way untouched and frozen forever in time since that tragic day in 89. And as it plays its haunting sound tears are heard from miles around they’re tears from families of those who fell awaiting the toll of the justice bell. © Dave Kirby 2002

(Dean, 3.16) “SAM! SAAAAM!!”

(Sam & a crossroads demon, 4.09) “I don't want ten years. I don't want one year. I don't want candy! I want to trade places with Dean.” “No.” “Just take me! It's a fair trade!”

(Cara & Sam, 4.14) “Haven't you ever been in a relationship where you really love somebody and still kinda wanted to bash their head in?” “Sounds like you're speaking from experience.” [...] “His name was Karl. We were married. [...] I mean I loved him. Still do I guess but... I don't know. It's like one day I looked up and I was living with a stranger and... you know what I mean, right?” “I guess. Or, I don't know, maybe.”

(Nick, 4.14) “I gave him what he needed. And it wasn’t some bitch in a G-string. It was you. A little brother that looked up to him”

(Dean, 5.04) “Because whatever we have between us... love, family, whatever it is...”

(Dean, 5.04) “The point is…maybe we are each others Achilles heel. Maybe they’ll find a way to use us against each other, I don’t know. I just know we’re all we’ve got. More than that. We keep each other human.”

(Hotel manager, 5.09) “And at 4.30 there's the 'Homoerotic Subtext of Supernatural.'”

(Dean & Castiel & Sam, 5.13) “Really? Anna? I don't believe it.” “It’s true.” “So she's gone all Glenn Close, huh? That's awesome.” “Who's Glenn Close?” “No one, just this psycho bitch who likes to boil rabbits.” “So the plan to kill me, would it actually stop Satan?”

(Ash, 5.16) “A few people share. Special cases. Whatnot. […] Aw you know, like, uh, soulmates.“

(Zachariah, 5.18) “You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationality, erotically codependent on each other right?”

(Dean & AU!Sam/Dean & Sam, 2.20 & 5.18) “Why are you doing this?” “Because you’re still my (big) brother.”

(Castiel, 5.18) “I don't have the same faith in you that Sam does.“

(Crowley, 5.20) “My valet hid a tracking device in your car, a magical coin that easily trumps your little bags o' bones. It allows me to hear things, too and, my, the things I've heard.”

(Chuck, 5.22) “This is the stuff that's important. The army man that Sam crammed in the ashtray – it's still stuck there. The Legos that Dean shoved into the vents – to this day, heat comes on and they can hear 'em rattle. These are the things that make the car theirs - really theirs. Even when Dean rebuilt her from the ground up, he made sure all these little things stayed.”

Chuck, 5.22) “In between jobs, Sam and Dean would sometimes get a day – sometimes a week, if they were lucky. [...] They could go anywhere and do anything. They drove 1,000 miles for an Ozzy show, two days for a Jayhawks game. And when it was clear, they'd park her in the middle of nowhere, sit on the hood, and watch the stars... for hours... without saying a word.”

(Dean, 5.22) “Sam, it’s okay. It’s okay, I’m here, I’m here. I’m not gonna leave you.”

(Sam, 5.22) “It’s okay, Dean, it’s gonna be okay. I got him.”

(Chuck, 5.22) “Dean didn't want Cas to save him. Every part of him, every fiber he's got, wants to die, or find a way to bring Sam back. But he isn't gonna do either. Because he made a promise.”

(Chuck, 5.22) “I'd say this was a test... for Sam and Dean. And I think they did all right. Up against good, evil, angels, devils, destiny, and God himself, they made their own choice. They chose family. And, well... isn't that kinda the whole point?”

(Dean, 6.01) “So I'm dead? This is Heaven?”

(Sam & Dean, 6.01) “You finally had what you wanted, Dean.” “I wanted my brother. Alive.”

(Lisa, 6.06) “You two have the most unhealthy, tangled-up, crazy thing I’ve ever seen.“

(Veritas, 6.06) “Mallory to your Mickey.”

(Dean & Sam, 6.15) “Yeah, but here, you got a pretty good life. I mean, back home, the hits have been coming since you were 6 months old. You got to admit, being a bazillionare, married to Ruby, the whole package. It's no contest.” “No, you know, you were right. We just don't mean the same thing here. I mean, we're not even brothers here, man.” “All right, then. Let's get our crazy show back home.”

(Sam & Dean, 6.15) [Sam knocks on the wall.] “Solid. It's real. Nice.” “Yeah. Yeah, real, moldy, termite-eaten home sweet home. Chock full of crap that wants to skin you. Oh, and, uh, we're broke again.” “Yeah. But, hey... at least we're talking.“

(Sam, 6.22) “I was with two guys. One was like a male model type, and the other was an older guy named Bobby.”

(Balthazar, 6.22) “How's Sleeping Beauty? You didn't steal any kisses, I trust?”

(Tortured!Sam & Sam, 6.22) “Why is this so important to you?” “You know me. You know why. I'm not leaving my brother alone out there.”

(Sam & Don & Maggie, Sam & Dean, 7.05) “See? Guys, guys... You're talking. All these years, you... you buried your anger and your disappointment till it tore you apart. All you needed to do was talk.” “He's right. I couldn't kill you. All I ever wanted is you, Mags. I've been crushing on you since forever. You're the woman that I want to never grow old with.” “I could never murder you either, Don. It's crazy... But true.” [...] “Hey, were you, um, were you listening to the Starks tonight?” “Uh, a little, when I wasn't getting slammed into a wall or stung by bees.” “You notice how they, uh, you know, how they... how they opened up, got everything off their chest?” “Yeah. Kudos on selling them that crap.” “It wasn't crap, Dean. It worked.”

(Dean, 7.06) “Sammy. Not Sammy.”

(Leviathan!Sam, 7.06) “You could be anything. You're strong, uninhibited, smart enough, believe it or not, but you're so caught up in being good and taking care of each other.”

(Dean, 8.03) “I know where I'm at my best, and that is right here, driving down crazy street next to you.”

(Mrs. Holmes, 8.03) “I don't think he could bear the thought of life without me. That's why he drove off that bridge.”

(Michael, 8.04) “Is it just me or are you getting a workplace romance vibe from those two?”

(Kate & Michael & Brian, Dean, 8.04) “I'm pretty sure that FBI agents don't say "awesome" that much. You know? And they definitely don't hunt and kill college kids.” “Did... did they say anything else?” “Dude, they just sat and talked about how they have been apart for a year. You were probably right about that whole office-romance thing.” [...] “Do I really say "awesome" a lot?”

(Sam & Amelia, 8.05) “You have no idea where you're going, either, do you?” “No. Not really.” “And that's because you have no one. I mean, at all, right? I mean, that's why you're... here, in this place.” “I used to... have someone, I mean. But that's over now. It's gone. You know what that's like, don't you?”

(Dean & Sam, 8.10) “What do you want to hear, Sam? That I was wrong? Fine. I was wrong. Okay? But if you’d have just heard me out, if you’d have trusted me, all of this could have been avoided.” “You didn’t want me to trust you. You wanted me to trust Benny, and I can’t do that.” “Right. Okay, well, then, what the hell do we do now?” “That depends. It depends on you. On whether or not you’re done with him.”

(Dean, 8.14) “I want you to get out. I want you to have a life, become a Man of Letters, whatever. You, with a wife and kids, and grandkids, living till you're fat and bald and chugging Viagra... that is my perfect ending.”

(Dean & Sam, 8.14) “Sam, be smart.” “I am smart, and so are you. You’re not a grunt, Dean. You’re a genius. When it comes to lore you’re the best damn hunter I have ever seen, better than me, better than dad. I believe in you, Dean. So, please, please believe in me, too.”

(Dean, 8.23) “There is nothing, past or present, that I would put in front of you.”

(Ezekial/Gadreel as Dean, 9.01) “I made you a promise, in that church. You and me. Come whatever.”

(Ezekial/Gadreel as Dean, 9.01) “There ain’t no me, if there ain’t no you.“

(Jody, 9.08) “Come on. You and Dean? That's something special, don't you think?”

(Castiel & Sam, 9.11) “Sam, the trials. You chose not to go through with them for a reason, didn't you? You chose to live rather than to sacrifice yourself. You and Dean, you chose each other.” “Yeah, I did. We did.”

(Alonso, 9.13) “Hey, new guy. Quit flirtin’ with the trainer and keep scoopin’, huh?”

(Dean, 9.23) “I’m proud of us.”

(Sam, 10.02) “I don’t care. Because you’re my brother and I’m here to take you home.”

(Sam, 10.03) “Come back. [...] Come back to me.”

(Dean, 10.03) “What did Sam say? Does he want a divorce?”

(Castiel, 10.03) “It’d take a lot more than trying to kill Sam with a hammer to make him want to walk away.”

(Dean & Sam, 10.04) “I never even said thank you, so...” “You don't ever have to say that, not to me.”

(Dean & Marie, 10.05) “Why are they standing so close together?” “Reasons.” “You know they're brothers, right?” “Well, duh but, subtext.”

(Dean, 10.05) “I don't need a symbol to remind me how I feel about my brother.”

(Marie as Sam & Sam, 10.05) “The two of us against the world!” “What she said.”

(Heddy & Beverly, 10.06) “I knew those boys were trailer trash the moment they rolled up in that American-made.” “Not to mention homosexuals.” “Homosexual murderers. Like Leopold and Loeb.”

(Sam, 10.12) “Look, man… do I wish the mark was gone? Yes, of course. Absolutely, I do, but… I wanted you back.”

(Sam, 10.18) “This is my life. I love it. But I can't do it without my brother. I don't want to do it without my brother. And if he's gone, then I don't...”

(Sam, 10.18) “If there’s a cure, we’ll do it and deal with the consequences later. I can’t lose you.”

(Sam, 10.23) “You will never, ever hear me say that you—the real you—is anything but good.”

(Dean, 10.23) “Close your eyes. [A tear runs down Sam’s face as he continues to look up at Dean.] Sammy, close your eyes.”

(Sam, 10.23) “Take these. And one day, when you find your way back. Let these be your guide. And they can help you remember what it was to be good. What it was to love.”

(Sam & Dean, 11.01) “I unleashed a force on this world that could destroy it, to save you.” “And I told you not to.” “And I'd do it again. In a second, I would do it again.”

(Sam, 11.04) “Dee, it’s late, I’m exhausted.”

(Sam, 11.04) “We are home.“

(Lucifer & Sam, 11.10) “No wait, here’s my personal favorite, is you doing every stupid thing you could to cure the Mark, even after you knew it would go bad.” “My brother was dying!” “Yes! And you’d do anything to save him. And he’d do anything to save you. And that is the problem. [...] you’re so overcome by guilt that you can’t stand to lose Dean again and he could never lose you, and so instead of choosing the world you choose each other, no matter how many innocent people die.”

(Dean, 11.11) “All that matters now, all that’s ever mattered, is that we’re together.“

(Sam, 11.12)

“Dee, listen...”

(Sam, 11.16) “The nest messes with their victim's head, shows them things they love, parts of their soul in distress.”

(Sam & Dean, 11.16) “You said the soul eater made you see things, plural. So, what else did you see?” “I saw you, dead on the floor.” “How messed up are our lives, that you seeing a vision of dead-me is actually kind of comforting?”

(Dean, 11.17) “Bring him back. Bring him back and take me instead.”

(Michelle, 11.17) “I watched the man I love die. There's no normal after that.”

(Dean & Cesar, 11.19) “You guys fight just like brothers. Almost as bad as us.” “Well, it's more like an old married couple.”

(Dean, 11.20) “I’m not leaving you, ever!”

(Dean & Sam, 11.23) “C’mon, you know the drill. No chick flick moments, c’mon.” “Yeah, you love chick flicks.” “Yeah, you’re right I do, come here.”

(Dean, 11.23) “I need him, he needs me.“

(Dean, 12.01) “Listen, bitch. I don't care who you are, I don't care what you want. You have my brother. [...] Now, I'm gonna give you one chance, just one, to hand Sam back. [...] You think you can run from me? Try it. Because when I find you, and I will find you, if he is not in one piece, I will take you apart. You understand me? [Lady Toni hangs up, Dean snaps Gregory’s cellphone in half.]”

(Mary & Dean, 12.02) “Sam had a chance to get out, and he came back?” “When Dad disappeared, Sam and I looked around and something became very clear. The only thing we had in this world, the only thing aside from this car, was each other.”

(Dean & Sam, 12.06) “He’s more of a, uh… animated Japanese erotica chick.” “Don’t tell her that!” “Tell her what?” “It’s Jody, man.” “Dude, be proud of your hobbies. It makes you who you are.”

(Dean & Billie, 12.06) [Dean is pounding on the door, trying to get in.] “Sam. Sammy! Hey!” “You can huff and puff, but that house is on supernatural lockdown. They can’t even hear you.” “Hunters are dying in there.” “Everyone dies.” “You got in there. You got in there to reap that soul. You can get me in.” “But it’s a one-way ticket. And you’re gonna owe me one.” [The door glows and Dean tumbles through it and rolls into the room.] “Where’s my brother?!”

(Dean, 12.07) “We're the brothers that rock together.”

(Dean, 12.09) “Being locked in that cell, with nothing? I’ve been to hell, this was worse.”

(Sam & Dean, 12.11) ”Dean, do you remember HBO?” ”Uh...” ”Cinemax?” ”Skinemax?” ”Great, alright, come here. We’re just gonna sit you right here.” “Is this like, live Skinemax?”

(Dean, 12.11) [Sam screams in pain.] “S-Sam?”

(Sam & Dean, 12.11) “I can’t believe you rode Larry.” “Hey, I was awesome on that bull. I was like a God.”

(Sam & Dean, 12.11) “Just, you know, some of the things we've done, we've had this weight for- forever. And seeing it gone, you looked happy.“ “Look, was it nice to drop our baggage? Yeah, maybe. Hell, probably. But it wasn't just the crap that got lost, I mean it was everything. It was us. It was what we do, you know? All of it. So... that's what being happy looks like? I think I'll pass.“

(Dean, 12.14) “Sammy? Lucy?!”

(Sam & Dean, 12.15) “Dude, why don’t you take a shower and change your clothes, you’ve been wearing the same pair of boxers for four days.” “Okay, one, weird that you know how much underwear I’ve packed...” “That’s what’s weird about this?”

(Dean & Sam, 12.15) “Alright, let’s get to it then.” “Yeah, that’s fine, um... after you get cleaned up.” “I got baby wipes in the car.” “Dude! Dean, I’m serious man. You smell like roadkill.” “That’s ‘cause I do all the heavy lifting. ... Alright, but I’m using that fancy shampoo you keep hidden from me.”

(Gwen, Sam & Dean, 12.15) “Why couldn’t I just tell him the truth? I didn’t, I lied. I lied to make things easier.” [...] “Either way, I shouldn’t have lied to you and I’m sorry, man, I” “Well, okay.”

(Sam & Dean, 12.15) “Every job we’ve worked in the last two weeks, they’ve all come from the British Men of Letters.” “Really.” “Yeah, I didn’t tell you because I know how much you hate them.” “No, we hate them. Us. Together.”

(Mick & Sam & Dean, 12.16) “Kendrick’s is the largest collection of occult lore in the world.” “Cool.” [Dean gives ultimate bitchface.]

(Mick & Sam, 12.16) “Booked us all suites.” “Wait, you... we’re in separate rooms?”

(Dean, 12.16) “Yeah. Sam’s best friend. They’re like nerd soulmates.”

(Sam & Dean, 12.22) “Is this how you pictured it? The end?” “You know it's not. I always thought we'd go out like Butch and Sundance style. Blaze of glory.”

(Dean & Sam, 12.22) “You come back.” “Promise.” “Bitch.” “Jerk.”

(Sandy & Dean, 13.17) “What are you doing?” “They took my brother. I’m gonna get him back.” [Dean continues to make chemical bombs.]

(Dean & Sam, 13.19) “WHERE THE HELL IS MY BROTHER?!” [Dean enters the room where Sam is being held.] “SAM!” “DEAN!”

(Dean & Sam, 13.20) “I don’t care what happens to me, I never really have, but I do care what happens to my brother.” “Dean, we're going to that place, and we're gonna save Jack and Mom. Together. And if something happens, we will deal with it together. And if we die? We'll do that together, too.”

(Dean to Sam, 13.22) “I thought I’d lost you, man.”

(Dean to Sam, 13.22) “We’ve lost friends, we’ve lost family, we’ve lost each other.“

(Dean, 13.23) “Sammy!” [Lucifer disappears with Sam and Jack.] “SAMMY!”

(Castiel & Dean, 13.23) “Dean, you can’t.” “Lucifer has Sam!”

(Anael & Michael!Dean, 14.01) “Why would he say yes to you?” “Love.”

(Sam, 14.01) “If it meant finding Dean, I’d... I’d do anything.”

(Dean, 14.02) “Sammy... It’s me...”

(Dean & Sam, Jody, 14.03) “It’s just every time I think about it, it’s like a nightmare. I mean, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, it’s just always there... watching.” “Dee, it’s just a beard.

And what happened after [...] I don’t blame you, no one blames you, but you gotta try to stop blaming yourself. Please.” “I’m never going to get over it, okay? I’m just not. But you’re right. [...] Whatever you need, I’m there.”

(Dean to Sam, 14.04) “Alright, Chief?”

(Dean & Sam, 14.04) “Next year we're doing Halloween right, okay? I'm thinking matching outfits.

XVG, EOS, ONT: These 3 Cryptos Are Leading the Market Recovery

The crypto market is finally showing signs of life after a painful first quarter.

The total value of all cryptocurrencies, also known as total market capitalization, jumped above $300 billion on Thursday and was last seen at $325 billion, the highest level since March 26, according to CoinMarketCap.

Also, the total market capitalization has jumped 31 percent in the week ended Friday.

The much-needed relief rally in the broad crypto markets could be associated with bitcoin's 21 percent weekly gain. The world's largest cryptocurrency defended the key 50-week moving average support in the first half of the week before rising to 2.5-week highs above $8,200 Friday.

Meanwhile, ethereum's native cryptocurrency, ETH, appreciated 38 percent week-on-week and is the top-performing major coin. Ripple's XRP and bitcoin cash gained 32.8 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively.

However, a look at the performance of the top 25 cryptocurrencies reveals that verge's XVG token has outperformed its peers. Also, EOS and Ontology's ONT token have etched out impressive gains.

Verge

Weekly performance: +58.36 percent All-time high: $0.30 Closing price on April 6: $0.058483 Current market price: $0.092619 Rank as per market capitalization: 20

Verge's XVG token takes the top spot for the second week. The 58 percent surge could be associated with growing investor interest in verge's mystery partnership announcement, scheduled for April 17. Speculation is making the rounds that an angel investor, TokenPay, might be involved in the partnership. Also, a few other names like Overstock.com, Amazon, eBay, are being thrown around across social media.

Also, XVG is the second most actively traded cryptocurrency on Binance. Anticipation of the April 17 announcement will likely keep XVG better bid over the weekend. However, profit taking (sell the fact) after the announcement could push XVG lower. Note that the sell-off could be sharp if the announcement fails to meet heightened market expectations.

Daily chart

The relative strength index (RSI) shows overbought conditions, so the XVG token looks ripe for a pullback. Only a close below $0.05 (50-day moving average support) would signal invalidation of the bullish case.

EOS

Weekly performance: +55.68 percent All-time high: $18.71 Closing price on April 6: $5.89 Current market price: $9.17 Rank as per market capitalization: 5

EOS picked up a bid on April 11 and jumped to $9.56 Friday on Bitfinex - its highest level since Feb. 20.

The developers recently announced an eosDAC airdrop to the EOS token holders and the lure of making free money via airdrop seems to have put a bid under the token. The airdrop is scheduled to happen on April 11. Thus, the token will likely remain in demand over the weekend.

However, EOS looks overbought, according to the technical chart below.

Daily chart

The relative strength index (RSI) has moved above 70.00, signaling overbought conditions. So, the resistance at $9.525 (38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement) could prove a tough nut to crack.

That said, the 5-day moving average and the 10-day MA are biased bullish (rising). So, the pullback could be short-lived. Only a close below $7.28 (March 21 high) would invalidate the bullish view.

Ontology

Weekly performance: +52.94 percent All-time high: $4.77 Closing price on April 6: $3.06 Current market price: $4.68 Rank as per market capitalization: 22

Ontology is a new, high-performance public blockchain project and a distributed trust collaboration platform that includes a series of complete distributed ledgers and smart contract systems, according to the official website. The developers have released the first version of the roadmaps and the first projects are live on GitHub.

Ontology's ONT token has made it to the list of top 25 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization in just four weeks from inception. The token began trading at $1.36 on March 15, meaning it has rallied a staggering 250 percent in four weeks, according to CoinMarketCap.

The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies. CoinDesk is an independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which invests in cryptocurrencies and blockchain startups.
