I hope you don't mind me asking but what are your favourite Jamie EU stories?

oh my god not at all, I never mind being asked about my favourite little guy <33

I'm gonna break this down by media type, but there's some parts of the eu like comics that I'm not super familiar with, so if anyone wants to add some of those on (or any other eu stories) then go ahead!!

putting this under a cut because it got LONG rip

big finish

the jigsaw war

jamie is trapped inside a puzzle, experiencing events out of order, and has to figure out how to escape. this is THE audio for me in terms of like. recognising that jamie isn't stupid just because he comes from the eighteenth century. he really gets to shine on his own rather than being relegated to 'dumb exposition prompter' (which I feel like some audios can be kinda guilty of.....) also the fact that two and jamie canonically have a strong enough connection to form a psychic link over long distances makes me chew through glass. this audio GETS it in a way some others just don't.

the glorious revolution

two, jamie, and zoe travel back to the time of the glorious revolution, the event that set the jacobite cause in motion, and jamie grapples with not being able to change the past. if you saw that audio snippet going around a couple days ago you'll have an idea of why I'm reccing this one. it has been a while since I've listened to it & I do really want to relisten and check it out for historical accuracy. but regardless it's another one that gives jamie some of the depth he deserves, this time in terms of emotional depth and his feelings about his backstory.

the selachian gambit

two, jamie, ben, and polly get caught in the middle of an alien bank heist. this one is pretty focused on ben, polly, and jamie as a trio - they're largely taking on the action while two keeps the detective work of the plot chugging along. jamie doesn't hugely stand out here in terms of the audio really adding something to his character, but it does show his dynamic with ben and polly pretty well. in particular there's some great scenes with him and ben working together, and I love their friendship a lot so that's always a good time.

honourable mentions: helicon prime (I do feel this one underutilises jamie a bit and undersells him in some weird ways, but if you're looking for two/jamie content you can't get much gayer than this. plus it's the origin of the whole 'jamie and kirsty get married' thing which I hate on principle & am obsessed with in practice), the phantom piper (it's got so much more potential than it gives imo but the tidbits that we get are so good. jamie's relationship with his grandparents.... his best friend taking a bullet for him and dying in his arms...... I just wish I could explain to the author that there's no such thing as a bedroom door in a blackhouse)

novels

the roundheads

two, jamie, ben, and polly travel back to the 1600s, and get largely split up by events unfolding around them. this is a pure historical and it delights in that. if you're after ben and polly content, the roundheads delivers on that too - but it really is some great early twojamie content. (whatever way you choose to read them - it's definitely a shippable book if you're into that). they spend the majority of the book together, both for plot reasons and just hanging out (they go to a frost fair!! two buys jamie treats and then makes himself a flower crown!!) and you get a great sense of jamie figuring two out early into his travels, and how he's far more interested in the doctor as a person than some other companions - he's the only one to show interest in susan when the doctor namedrops her, for instance. this is the best two-era book to me.

the wheel of ice

two, jamie, and zoe visit a space station built a little before zoe's time, and find that not everything is as it seems. again, this is a great one for zoe content as well as anything else, and for some very sweet moments with zoe and two. I don't necessarily feel this one always nails two and jamie's dynamic, but they don't spend a massive amount of time together here, so it's not too jarring. really I'm reccing this because of the scenes where jamie falls in with a bunch of teenagers from the space station, and finds himself kind of responsible for them. it's just nicely done and gives a good sense of jamie as a caretaker character and someone who feels a drive to be responsible for other people.

honourable mention: the episode novelisations (these are a lot of fun, especially if you have particular episodes you enjoy. they often add in extra details, background for side characters, or just little things from the episodes that were cut from the script. I really like them for adding a bit more depth and life to existing stories, and just little things that make you go 'yeah I'll add that to my belief system').

short stories

the time eater/across silent seas

two and jamie give a massive time-eating creature a funeral, and save a space whale from being turned into a weapon. both from the compilation destination prague. literally nobody gets me like the destination prague stories get me I'm not even kidding. these are THE eu two stories to me. both of these are arguably 6b, and they really work in that position - both in showing two and jamie with a very settled, devoted dynamic and in their themes and subject matter. the time eater is a story with no villain, and even the incidental threat of the dying creature causing havoc in time is secondary to the emotional keystone of jamie helping two accept death rather than running away. across silent seas has jamie nearly being aged to death and two absolutely losing it. they're both really about age and death and loss, which hits hard for 6b, with jamie's determination to stay with two forever and two's growing realisation that even if jamie doesn't choose to leave or survives their adventures, his lifespan is still going to be far shorter.

the age of ambition

two, jamie, and victoria land at the house of one of victoria's father's friends, only to find he has been trying to reanimate the dead. from the compilation life sciences. this is really a victoria story, probably the defining victoria story for me. it's got backstory, it's got gothic horror/victorian scientific ambition vibes in a similar way to evil of the daleks, it's got victoria character moments. but it's also a really crucial story for jamie, to me. as a character, I don't think jamie never quite forms into the brawny action man stereotype he was originally drafted as - and that's one of the things I love most about him. again he's too much of a caretaker, he's a piper rather than a soldier. he's rarely truly angry, even when he fights he never seems out to cause much actual harm, and you get the sense his protectiveness over his friends wars with this almost inability to do harm. the age of ambition GETS that and pushes it to the extreme, with jamie being unable to fire a killing shot to save his friends, to the point where victoria has to do it herself. it's such a compelling character moment for both of them and their dynamic.

on a pedestal

two, jamie, and victoria travel back to meet william wallace, who jamie idolises. from the compilation the quality of leadership. this is another one that really gets and hones in on a particular nuance of jamie's character - in this case, the strength and rigidity of his morals and sense of responsibility, and his dislike of people who fall short of that. he's faced with the fact that someone he admires was once careless, lax about taking responsibility for their actions even when other people are at risk, and just a bit childish. it shakes him, and he spends much of the story grappling with that. it's such a good look into the qualities that jamie admires versus the ones that he can't stand. but that's balanced out with some very sweet moments (the whole scene with two, jamie, and william wallace going fishing is very fun and again gives a nice little snapshot of two and jamie having this very settled, secure dynamic). AND jamie gets recognised as a basically supernaturally gifted piper which. love to see jamie actually getting to be a musician, love to see him piping without it being the butt of a 'bagpipes suck and everyone hates them' joke.

honourable mentions: that which went away (this is the 'jamie turns into a bear' story I'm always talking about. I do think it has some major issues in terms of weird primitivism, both in terms of the side characters and how it treats jamie, but also. jamie turns into a bear. and two begging him to come back to him is just *chefs kiss*), undercurrents (two vanishes from the tardis and another man mysteriously appears. jamie believes this newcomer has done something to harm two, and very nearly kills him for it. this is one of the few moments where jamie gets really, properly angry and is willing to actually cause harm and I LOVE to see him pushed past the breaking point of his usual moral code), the slave war (two, jamie, ben, and polly in the roman empire. also really good for ben and polly content, but there's some interesting stuff with jamie grappling with the idea of becoming involved in another rebellion, but ending up getting involved anyway)

#replies #anonymous #the tl;dr of this is that there's a lot out there!#but not all of it uses jamie's character well or understands that he's nuanced and not just stupid/the brawn of the team/etc etc etc #anything that DOES understand he's an interesting character in his own right is probably going to pique my interest #& as you can tell the short stories are my favourite bit of eu media gkjfd. probably because they're so character-focused #and many of them do give jamie the interest and dimension he deserves

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me: In the final duel of The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), not only does Guy aim for Robin's subscapular artery, but there's a moment where Robin thinks he might have hit it.

#dear long-dead and legendary fight choreographer: I JUST WANT TO TALK #i have been putting together a bibliography and brooding about this all morning #like #they did not have to be that specific!#not only does gisborne make that short vicious lunge for the unprotected place #but robin reaches to stanch his own wound because he knows that might be all that will buy him time to end this #only when he *doesn't* find his own blood pouring over his fingers does he drop his other hand #old hollywood #the adventures of robin hood 1938 #queue

God made yuya and yusaku not exist in the same universe because he knew they would be unstoppable as canon best friends

#yuya who is in misery and agony and despair over his self image vs yusaku who dgaf #like yuya is dealing w so much wrt identity issues and yusaku being someone whos comfortable not having an identity #(being anonymous being a forgotten child etc)#and yusaku is so at peace in his own skin (though not necessarily comfortable) and yuya Isnt.#in a way that i think being friends with yusaku would be so good for him. especially because yuya is literally surrounded by -#- insane theater kid superstar wannabes constantly in his everyday life #and yusaku is so Not That. yusaku who lives in obscurity and specifically does everything he can to Avoid being in the spotlight #the spotlight yuya feels like he Has To take #yusaku also i think would be blunt with yuya in a way that he needs. yusaku is like. it doesn't seem like you're enjoying dueling very much.#why do you keep doing it?#and yuya short circuits. why DOES he keep doing it?#arc v #vrains #.txt

“Carmine is not the worst” and “kieran is not the worst” are statements that can and should co-exist

#Its always either “carmine did nothing wrong kieran is a stupid unhinged brat!” Or “kieran did nothing wrong carmine is literally abusive!!”#No. Theyre not. Neither of them are. Theyre just nd/mentally ill and cope with it badly #Its really not that hard come on #Also as an older sister with a younger brother a lot of the mean dialogue is pretty typical #Obviously that doesnt negate the fact that for kieran it hit him in his issues but he never spoke up about it and kept it to himself #And carmine is pretty dense and a bit in her own head so it makes sense that she wouldnt notice without being directly told #And with her specifically its made clear in dialogue throughout that she does care about her brother #She thinks about how in her mind things might affect him and chooses what she thinks is the option that wont hurt him. Though obviously #shes not the best judge there. But thats understandable she isnt very good at reading people #And kieran just doesnt know how to cope with his problems. When stuff gets too much he bursts and lashes out. A normal thing for a teenager #Obviously this now frightens carmine and she starts backing down distancing herself and generally just closes up around him #Because while she is abrasive she doesnt really *realize* she is. And its easy to see kierans abrasiveness as something inherently hostile #(Because even if he doesnt really mean it it still is aggressive)#Hey wait a second why am i infodumping about kieran and carmine pokemon in my tags #This is like the worst way to do it. Sorry cutting it short ty for reading if you did #ghosts howling

Right in time for bad weather to roll in!

There's a game on the Vita that I adored because you created both your character and also a second character that followed you around. (in that game, you're a little fella and your secondary is basically your babysitter who can't feel emotions and is programmed to be not be fond of you)

On many consoles, there's another game where you create your character and also create a secondary and it's very much your first in authority. (Arisen and Pawns? Multiple people knew of the game when I posted fanart of my silly duo so.)

However, there's tragically a third game I found in which you also have two characters and the first one is a fella, a hooman... and the second is AI. And absolutely adores you. Buuuut I made my primary a kind of indifferent fella named Adam and then in honors of the first one I mentioned, I named my secondary 'sqlmn' which is basically pronounced 'salmon'. Which is what my angy babysitter was named, Salmon.

Anyway I'm too embarrassed to admit which game I'm playing so have fun guessing!

#adam and sqlmn #thats gonna be their tag cause i do not want to admit what game it is #but also since they are both made in character creator its not actually characters anyone would recognize #in the vita game i mentioned though i also had a little girl as my primary (as in short girl not age)#and she had what i described as burnt marshmallow hair #which is what i attempted with adam here but the colors arent us popping as the other game so it looks more silvery blue than white #and then the burnt parts are either obnoxious orange or very mild #and i opted for the mild #anyway i like giving my ai bot who adores me a suit cause hes taller than adam #and i just thought it was funny to have him look like he should be in charge #because his dialogue is just him calling you Master #which im like does he know i would kill for him cause i would i love this weird tall freak who loves me unconditionally #and tbh i wanna grab them and use them for my own purposes and not have them attached to the game i created em in

stop fucking flirting with me, you rancid little man

#bg3 #thoughts about media #never had this dialogue before. durge exclusive or...??#either way- I'm lying astarion. please keep talking about murder. it does something for me personally.#also LMAO at him “hiding” his vampirism. baby I can SEE your fangs and bite mark. you aren't hiding shit.#imagining him asking corydalis this and corydalis having to explain that decapitating him would be difficult due to his scaly skin.#with the parasite- his abilities are weakened and thus he can actually be poisoned whereas normally he is immune.#he'd admit he's always been curious what it's like to be poisoned lol.#you know. despite only having fully beat the game once- I have nearly 500 hrs in bg3.#I've half finished many campaigns. and now. when I must begin an adventure with no corydalis to return to...#...well it hurts. it is not the same without him...I will forever treasure him and experiencing the story alongside him.#this new character is a durge. aaaanother tiefling because I enjoy them. he isn't Actually the durge lorewise though.#I had my own story already formulated for him. even before I made him in game. I think I still want to keep him a bhaalspawn though.#if not bhaal- he'll be tied to myrkul. since corydalis has existing beef with myrkul.#he's got body type 1 instead of 2 and goodness it is SO strange to Look Up To the gents. like what do you MEAN they are TALL?!#astarion is like a little mouse. he is not supposed to be tall! wyll has transmasculine short king allure. he is not supposed to be tall!#gale can be a LITTLE tall. I guess. but he's such a sopping wet cat of a man. I can hardly imagine him being THAT tall.#none of them are taller than corydalis! bar halsin and karlach of course.

girl!jack being casually sexually harassed by dean in between threats of violence and this never being brought up beyond a vague sad line from sam about how he should stop treating her like that, would have fit right in with the vibes of late seasons supernatural. terrible things keep happening, and the only energy they can summon up about it is apathy that perpetuates the suffering.

#like what would happen here is that he’d do it whenever she used her powers or showed any sort of competence #kneecap her when she feels capable because *he* feels threatened by that. by her.#and he can feel less threatened if he thinks of her as someone he can fuck #so jack does something sick with her powers and then dean says something like ‘you know you shouldn’t wear a skirt that short. you’re #distracting me and sam.’#crucial that he includes sam there btw. as a way to make jack feel like she’s causing problems for *everyone* not just dean. and because if #sam’s there he’d have to acknowledge how often this goes on and the breadth of it to speak up. and he wont. so instead he’ll just look sad #and tell jack later that dean didnt mean it. but maybe jack should cover up more anyway. for her own good.#spn #jack kline #dean winchester

I can wait for you at the bottom

The Worst In Me - Bad Omens

The Summoning - Sleep Token

Demons - Mayday Parade

Lead Me Out of the Dark - Crown The Empire

So Much Love To Give - Glorious Sons

Here’s My Heart - SayWeCanFly

Good To You - Marianas Trench

Hold Onto Me - Mayday Parade

Stomach Tied In Knots - Sleeping With Sirens

Stay - Mayday Parade

Deathbeds - Bring Me The Horizon

Just Pretend - Bad Omens

I saw someone else post a lyric breakdown and thought it was a cool idea, so... here are the lyrics that gave me another au idea made me think of the trope!

1. The Worst In Me - Bad Omens

I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip Bring out the worst in me And now it's come to end, I think I'm giving in You set my demons free

It's better when you're with me, but that's better left unsaid It's better when I'm empty, but I still let you in

2. The Summoning - Sleep Token

Oh, and my love Did I mistake you for a sign from God? Or are you really here to cut me off? Or maybe just to turn me on

‘Cause these days I would be lying if I told you that I didn't wish that I could be your man Or maybe make a good girl bad

3. Demons - Mayday Parade

Now I can live with all my demons, we all get along And they whisper in my ear “We’re safe, there’s always something wrong.” And if it looks like Armageddon’s coming down today I’ll kick back a bottle of that poison It’s made for you and me Come on, let’s go One fell out of my dreams It came down in your heart Paved the way for me to follow

4. Lead Me Out of the Dark - Crown The Empire

Without a doubt, I need your help I know you've heard me ask before But come on girl, I need to tell you now I know what I've done wrong The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life There's so many things I wanna say But there's too many things still in the way I'm lost, please help me find my place You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark

5. So Much Love To Give - Glorious Sons

I've got a heart in me, I swear It's hidden in the back of a bar somewhere Everything you've heard is true But I can make it up to you I've got so much love to give I've got so much more than this

Forgive me for everything I did

6. Here’s My Heart - SayWeCanFly

So here's my heart for you if you want it It's got a couple bruises on it Sometimes it breaks down and it doesn't work quite right, but You bring it back to life You bring it back to life And I'd believe in God if somebody could prove That there existed something more perfect than you But if this were the last time I ever felt love I'd be alright Cause nothing ever felt so true

7. Good To You - Marianas Trench

And I know this isn't enough, I still don't measure up And I'm not prepared; Sorry is never there when you need it

And I do want you to know I'll hold you up above everyone And I do want you to know I think you'd be good to me And I'd be so good to you

8. Hold Onto Me - Mayday Parade

Stayed up too late and it hurts to breathe Said it's 4 A.M. girl, go back to sleep Sometimes at night, I can hear her dreams

Come rescue me, come rescue me Don't you ever leave, don't you ever leave I know we got our problems and it's probably me So hold onto me, hold onto me

9. Stomach Tied In Knots - Sleeping With Sirens

Oh, my stomach's tied in knots I'm afraid of what I'll find if you want to talk tonight Oh oh See the problem isn't you, it's me I know I can tell, I've seen it time after time

And I'll push you away I get so afraid, oh no

And I can't live without you now, oh oh I can't even live with myself, oh oh oh I can't live without you now, oh oh And I don't want nobody else, oh oh oh

I only have myself to blame But do you think we can start again 'Cause I can't live without you

10. Stay - Mayday Parade

Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well Since the last time that we spoke, you said "Please understand if I see you again don't even say hello."

I'm not strong enough for the both of us What was I supposed to do You know I love you Whoa-oh

Please just stay Stay

11. Deathbeds - Bring Me The Horizon

Eyes like a car crash I know I shouldn't look, but I can't turn away Body like a whiplash Salt my wounds, but I can't heal the way I feel about you I watch you like a hawk I watch you like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb Will the hunger ever stop? Can we simply starve this sin?

That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul And like a deer in the headlights, I meet my fate Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard Tides will bring me back to you

And on my deathbed, all I'll see is you The life may leave my lungs, but my heart will stay with you

12. Just Pretend - Bad Omens

I'm not afraid of the war you've come to wage against my sins I'm not okay, but I can try my best to just pretend

So will you wait me out Or will you drown me out? So will you wait me out Or will you drown me out? (at the bottom)

I can wait for you at the bottom I can stay away if you want me to I can wait for years if I gotta Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

#obiyukimadness23 #in love with the mark #obiyuki #ans #music #playlist #should this trope win (odds are looking favourable right now lol)#I may need to appease the brain and write the thing :3 #just a short thing #but a thing #i tried to order the playlist the way that I think this thing will go...#ie: Obi being so ready to Do The Task #realizing that he maybe does not want to follow through with The Task #realizing that he doesn't want to do The Task because his own heart can't handle that #having a moment of bliss with Shirayuki in which life is great and they're there for each other #Shirayuki finding out about The Task and not handling it well #Obi falling apart but trying desperately not to become A Problem #ANYWAYS
