itsmeyn: charles always goes above and beyond for every single fan of his, he tries to take as many pictures and sign as many autographs as possible, but what happened last night was a fucking joke. He doesn't like what I'm writing cause he says that it was just a mistake and that it was fine, but it really isn't, it's so disrespectful and disgusting! He always wants to meet his fans and make them happy only to receive this insanity, him falling AND HURTING HIMSELF because some of you can't fucking wait and be organized like a human being! Charles isn't an animal in a zoo where you race to pet him! He is a human being, he is a son, a brother and a boyfriend! This wasn't just an accident, i have seen these 6 girls multiple times in multiple places! it's so obsessive and so so sick of you to follow him everywhere.... Charles won't speak up because he is Charles and he lives seeing the good in people, but I will tear everything and everyone for his safety, so for you 6 girls you will be hearing from court soon so better prepare a good lawyer you assholes!

F1_updates_live: Charles Leclerc's girlfriend, YN LN, seen today arriving in front of the UK's courthouse in a red SF9 Ferarri. It had been quite a week for YN as she was seen hitting a fan after the said fan pushed Charles. YN took this fan and 5 others to court, no one knows on what bases but what has come out is that she has won the case which means that Charles and YN have restraining orders against the group.

Got my hands on the script of Anatomy of a Fall, and I couldn't help but compare it with some scenes from the movie because that's how deep I am rn :'D Anyway, here are some of my finds and things I personally enjoyed. I'm sure there are more things to dig out but these are what I wanted to share with the world. The order of my finds will be chronological, for the most part, but keep in mind that sometimes, some scenes were edited to show up later, or earlier than originally intended. Spoilers for the whole movie obviously so you've been warned!

Takes place when Vincent first visits Sandra to discuss Samuel's death. In the movie, Sandra stops Vincent and cuts him harshly, saying "STOP, I did not kill him". Vincent then says a line that I think is pretty iconic in the movie, a sarcastic : "That's not the point. Really". His line is much harsher than on the script, where he's a bit softer. "You don't need to tell me that" implies that he has some deep, loyal faith in Sandra, while "That's not the point" cuts any further discussion. He really doesn't wanna know if she actually did it. Comes from a wish to remain blind still, but with less innocence and a lot of denial. Oh, Vincent.

In the movie, his last line is way better imo, he says "No one's gonna believe that. I don't believe that." I like the emphasis on his opinion rather than the fleeting and impersonal "it's really hard to believe". Truly hits way harder and puts Vincent back in the position of a lawyer.

The rest will be under the cut because I think it's gonna be a wall of text I apologize guys...... This movie does things to my brain.

There's a scene that was cut where Vincent phones Nour while still at Sandra's, which I would have enjoyed a lot but I'll admit it's a bit filler-y. Doesn't add a lot and kinda cuts the serious tone of Sandra's confession, imo, as they discuss the judge's antics in a pretty comical manner. I just love Nour so I'm based......

Another, REALLY long scene that was cut where a medium comes into Sandra's house to feel Samuel's ghost and foreshadows Daniel poisoning Snoop with aspirin. I had a good laugh at that one, honestly. It feels pretty out of place with the tone of the movie, and the personality of the characters even... I can't picture Sandra calling a medium. I'm glad they removed it because the foreshadowing was unnecessary too. It's still interesting that they had planned it however.

This takes place after Vincent finds out about the tape. Interestingly, his whole line was cut after "before he died". In the movie, he never comments on Sandra's affairs/sexuality. He never really asks much about her life at all. He truly is blinded by his wish to shield himself from her inner demons, in order to maintain his undying loyalty towards her. To see what he wants of her...

Another scene that was completely cut (a flashback, I believe?) where Sandra makes Daniel pose for a german photographer to make some money, which Monica dislikes, and then they argue. I think it really frames her as too unsympathetic, so I'm also glad it was cut.

Okay, so now, here comes The Big Change. The scene where Vincent and Sandra drink together after the first trial was heavily altered, because its tone in the movie is pretty tense when compared with the lightheartedness of the script. In the script, they laugh and reminisce together about the past and even kiss at the end of the scene. In the movie, none of was I screenshot happens : instead of playing along with the 'firing Vincent' suggestion, the scene ends with Sandra scolding Vincent for judging her in his head. Vincent backs off and the scene ends. Another instance of him not pressing emotional depth to shield himself.

There are other scenes I liked (many that touch upon Sandra's books) but I'll stop there. Hope you'll enjoy that... I might draw some of these so stay tuned... This movie has absorbed my soul but it feels good to be alive, thank you Justine Triet.

oooo you want to talk about dele on tumblr soo bad ooooooo

I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER ACTUALLY RAMBLED ABOUT THEM ON HERE OH MY GOOOD I NEED TO FIX THIS. (Edit: This is a lie I did it once and entirely forgot about it. There's a lot more info in this one, though feel free to check the other one even if there's repeat information!!)

Anyways here's a list of things about Bredele de Cassonade I think y'all should know (with many accompanying links):

Bredele is intersex (designated AFAB though), and (kind of) identifies as Agender! They use They/He/Zem, but are fine with any other pronouns. It doesn't matter if you use masc, fem, or androgenous terms for them!!

Unlike Langue, they found their identity very easily since they really didn't care what they aligned with. It all felt silly to them. Langue would dog on them about not being "girly enough", but even then they didn't feel like a ""real girl"" (their body always functioned oddly due to being intersex), so! They're not!

They like growing their hair out and letting their facial hair grow in, but they rarely get to do that because of work. They did have longer hair in their school years before they chopped it off for the sake of their job. They let their stubble grow in when they're on vacation, though!!

Though when it comes to relationship, they CANNOT for the life of them figure out what they like. They last assigned themself to be asexual and androromantic, but even they're not sure. It's hard for them to decipher a lot of things emotionally, especially relationships with others.

They currently hold ""possible relationship interest"" in Milk, Espresso, and Cream Cheese Tea.

Their pet is called Ditzboard, who's a ditzy little thing who trip and falls and does all manner of clumsy things but never drops its documents!!

Autism. They bit things as a child and still do sometimes when under stress. They get overstimulated, they hate the sound of their own heartbeat, they have specific tastes in food and textures, they have shutdowns (and meltdowns), they don't understand social cues very well outside of what they've had to teach themself... They also do a lot to themself to make themself feel ALIVE, though I won't specify what here.

They've held an interest in doctors since they were a kid. Hell, as a kid their favorite game series was Trauma Center. Much like how Langue played Ace Attorney when they were younger. :] Both DS games!! I like to think they shared a DS as kids.

Dele also has a keen interest in blood. It may be morbid, but they love thinking about it. It's not that they'd harm anyone for it, absolutely not, but the red fluid is something they think about and it fascinated them endlessly. They'll be bleeding and think of the blood and how it will clot and what it looks like on his skin whilst treating the injury. (They also don't have many to talk about this interest in for obvious reasons.)

Despite their visual differences, Langue and Bredele do get mistaken for each other sometimes!! Dele gets flattered, Langue gets offended.

Dele is ONE inch taller than Langue, and was born moments after Langue was. The lawyer SEETHES at the fact that Dele is better in ANY capacity. Langue will take anything they can get to prove they're better than him.

Langue's jealousy runs deep. Being the louder and more emotional of the two, they're one of Dele's worst critics. They'll lie to zem, bicker with zem, but at the end of the day they're siblings and Dele wouldn't give that up for the world. Langue, however... It's hard to say if they'd truly give up much for zem.

Bredele has learned mending magic from the spare few times they've visited Parfaedia. He's not very magically gifted, so he'll take what he can get!! Besides, it's very useful for equipment (and Langue's glasses when those crack and break too much to reform quickly).

They think Dasani Bottled Water is very unhealthy compared to other types of water bottles due to the lies Langue has told him.

BACK ON THE EMOTIONAL PROCESSING. Dele cannot cry. Well, they CAN, but it's very hard for them to. They can go through the world ending and there's only a chance that they could. A lot of negative emotion just gets numbed out and they can't express it unless it just gets to be Too Much, and even then it's just. So. Difficult. At a younger age, they were called a monster for being so "emotionless".

Thanks for linking the Mata transcript! I read it and I really didn't care for Minkoff's lawyering; comes across as smug, insufficiently contrite, etc. I also think his little "aw shucks, so many new computermajigs" bit missed the key argument! It's true that there's been a proliferation of legal search tools—Minkoff names four of them—but pre-GPT, the relationship between these tools was they had non-identical databases of (valid) cases. If a case shows up on Westlaw but not Lexis (cont.)

or whatever (not a lawyer, I don’t know how these pairs work), the appropriate inference was, generally 1) this case exists and 2) I guess some weird computer/subscription/search functionality issue interfered with me finding it in the source where it’s missing. A search that finds Case X in database A and not in database B corresponds to “Case X is real, and missing from database B” not “Database A made up Case X”. (cont) GPT isn’t just "another example of a technology that came along."—quite the opposite. It turns out standard inferences about the relationship between two discovery tools on their head. Obviously this doesn't excuse Schwartz (or LoDuca) but it bums me out to see them getting poorer representation than they might.

Ooh, thank you for the interesting thoughts.

Transcript is here, for anyone who wants to follow along. Minkoff's argument begins on page 51.

I don't know - I go back and forth. On the one hand, I like your argument about the standard inferences of cases just being missing from a database and ChatGPT turning that inference on its head, and I think it would have made his argument clearer and cleaner.

On the other hand, like all the other arguments in Schwartz's defense, that only works for the March 1 opposition. Once they were told that the defense and the Court couldn't find their cases, that argument doesn't work. So I can see him thinking it's better to focus as much as possible on 'oh geez he was just blinded by this new tech.'

On the third hand, I agree that he came across really badly, and from a strategic perspective, I wouldn't have had him give that argument at all and instead just focused on the subjective bad faith and embarrassment arguments. And the judge was so clearly not interested and even annoyed by that argument. I don't know, maybe this was a case of them trying out arguments while mooting and buying in a bit too hard to their own argument about dangerous new tech, only for it to fall flat in front of the judge.

But on the fourth hand, as an attorney, it's not necessarily your job to personally come across well to the judge - sometimes you just have to make the arguments you need to make no matter how little the judge wants to hear them. (Because the really didn't have any good arguments here, so I can see them just deciding to throw spaghetti at the wall.) Maybe he originally had a longer argument planned where he went into detail like you did a bit more, but he edited it down on the fly when he saw that the judge wasn't buying it and was clearly losing patience.

I don't know. I guess where I land is that I substantively agree with you, but I'm reluctant to be too critical of the quality of the Professional Responsibility's attorneys lawyering, because they had to navigate their strategic decisions when all of their options were really bad.

Duck Musings: Is Magica Owed a Dime?

There are some interesting questions you can come up with, for example, is Magica de Spell owed one of Scrooge's dimes?

One of the interesting things brought up in "The Journey is the Reward" is that after Magica is done melting the dime, and Scrooge is done crying, he will inevitably take her to court, and interestingly, Magica says that the courts in Duckburg aren't buyable, and the lawsuit would drag on for years. Why is that? It seems like a pretty open and shut case to me, Magica stole from Scrooge and needs to make up for that.

Of course, it could harken back to Magica straight up buying one of Scrooge's Dimes. In Magica's debut appearance, "The Midas Touch", she offered Scrooge a dollar for one of his Dimes, and in his greedy haste, he accidentally gave her his first dime. Of course, he tries to get it back... wait... dis he offer Magica a refund?

Looking back at the old comic, Scrooge did offer her a trade for the dime, giving Magica another one of his dimes, which Magica was glad, though maybe a bit irritated, to accept until she learned that the dime she was giving back was Scrooge's lucky number one.

So, she accepted Scrooge's offer and forfeited the dime, yeah? Well, we're assuming that Magica did take both dimes when she Poof bombed Scrooge and Donald before running off, and before I carry on I should state that I am not a legal expert and none of this meant to be legal advice, if you want genuine legal advice or information regarding the law please consult a professional, I am not a lawyer, a judge or have even served on a jury before.

Anyway, Magica, although unscrupulous and wicked, doesn't strike me as someone who would be concerned with things that aren't necessary to her schemes or plots, she might have taken the replacement dime from Scrooge, she might have dropped it, why would she be concerned about the whereabouts of ten cents that aren't Scrooge's first ten cents?

That doesn't change the fact that Scrooge offered another dime for the first one back, and Magica did accept at one point, and Donald, and possibly the triplets, can be considered witnesses.

This reminds me of an old post I saw here on Tumblr, when Nylongate was happening... for context, when Fallout 76 was released, they had a special edition, you know the kind that comes with collectible tat, that came with a bag that was advertised as being canvas, only for the bags to be released being made of nylon. Bethesda offered some compensation for the false advertising, but some people on Tumblr said that those swindled should not accept it, because accepting the compensation meant giving up rights to sue.

Whether or not that is the case, again not a legal expert, it does appear to me that Scrooge offered compensation, which Magica accepted.

However, one thing is very obvious in this whole ordeal, Magica paid for something, and now she doesn't have that thing. We are now assuming that she dropped the dime and snatched Scrooge's Number one, one panel in the original comic implies that she did in fact leave the second dime behind, with Scrooge shouting "So she could trade dimes again! She took old Number One!" Though it is worth noting that Scrooge screams this with open palms, and both his hands are empty of any form of ten cent pieces.

Assuming that Magica did leave the second dime behind, she paid for something, a dime, and she doesn't have said item. So, depending on how the judge views this, Magica could very well be legally entitled to one of Scrooge's dimes.

It may also be worth noting that Scrooge may know this, as he hires private eyes to keep watch for Magica, never local authorities, and you may think that's because they'd be ill-equipped to deal with Magica's magic, but they'd probably be better equipped than private investigators, and in the background of one panel in the story "Cash Flow" the Duckburg police are in fact, on the lookout for Magica De Spell, as she has a poster saying she's wanted for Black Magic.

Maybe someone who is better knowledgeable about law can assist here? I just find it interesting that Magica would be worried about a long, drawn out court battle, before she's concerned about being put in custody for theft, and maybe a couple hundred assault charges too. It really does seem like Magica's priorities are messed up, but then you remember, she did legitimately purchase one of Scrooge's dimes, it was just Scrooge's greed and haste that caused this whole rivalry in the first place.

I can imagine the alternate universe where Scrooge didn't accidentally give Magica his number one dime, and the Midas Touch spell didn't work, causing Magica to give up on it, but that's a musing for another day. Someone get LegalEagle to look over the evidence I have brought forward, and let's put this discussion to rest; Is Magica De Spell, LEGALLY owed Scrooge's Number One Dime?

Her dog, Frida.

"I'm a human rights lawyer."

"Oh, that sounds nice. I used to be interested in that."

"In becoming a lawyer?"

"No, in human rights. I was a bit of a Marxist-Anarchist back in Pakistan."

"Oh. That sounds interesting."

"Yeah, it wasn't all that. But then I came here to study and for a better life. I chose myself."

"You say it like it's a bad thing."

"It is. I'm hiding behind Dad's money."

"Don't we all?"

"Doesn't make it right. I mean, I'm not that bad. I worked and supported myself for a long while ever since I was 17. My dad didn't have that much money to give. But then suddenly he got very rich. At much expense of the proletariat, I make no secrets about that. And his wealth helped me do what I do."

"Which is what?"

"I live as a vagrant poet. It's disgustingly bourgeoisie, my life. I know what a full-bodied wine tastes like. I stare off into the distance. I write poems when I feel like it."

"I'm terribly addicted to smoking. Do you mind if I take notes? That's just how I listen."

"No, not at all." I stopped to pet her dog, who was nuzzling into my legs. She said her name was Frida. "Named after Frida Kahlo?" "Yes. She's afraid of men, just so you know." And yet, she'd warmed up to me. I was stroking her ears. There was a lull in the conversation. We looked around ourselves, the people, the chatter in Italian, I noticed the glitter in her eyes, she explained it was for a dinner event tonight, I quickly figured she was one of those social people who make connections quickly and bring people together, flitting butterflies that show up at parties and seem to jump out of windows and disppear only to show up at another party again at the other end of town, I did not like these people, these connectors, they pick up connections just as quickly as they drop them, they remind me of old fashioned telephones, just when you've managed to get through, the connection drops, and yet, I was here, I was talking, maybe far too much, revealing more than I should've as I do whenever I begin talking, a professional yapper if you will, that's something for the DSM's next edition to take into account, they'll make everything a symptom if they could, hell, I'll make everything into a symptom if I could, yapping: indicative of not knowing one's boundaries, suggestive of trauma that belittled one's understanding of one's self, me, hell, I can't even tell where my mind begins and my body ends, I don't know if that spoon in front of me is distinct from my finger, I don't know if the thoughts in my head are any different from these words on paper, she was asking me something, well, yes, I'm a philosoper, of course I'll think things like this, what did she ask me, "Yes, I would love to join that dinner tonight, see you then," and we were walking and she had to go another way and I another and we said bye bye, I waved, said I'll see her, but we never did, not that day at least. I need to stop writing about every encounter I have.

Valerie Hobson and Stewart Granger in Blanche Fury (Marc Allégret, 1948)

Cast: Valerie Hobson, Stewart Granger, Michael Gough, Walter Fitzgerald, Maurice Denham, Sybille Bender, Allan Jeaves, Edward Lexy, Susanne Gibbs, Ernest Jay, Townsend Whitling, J.H. Roberts. Screenplay: Audrey Erskine-Lindop, Cecil McGivern, Hugh Mills, based on a novel by Joseph Shearing. Cinematography: Guy Green, Geoffrey Unsworth. Production design: John Bryan. Film editing: Jack Harris. Music: Clifton Parker. 

Timidity is fatal in moviemaking, and Blanche Fury, whose very title promises turbulent emotions, is a timid movie. It failed at the box office, and its producer, Anthony Havelock-Allan, acknowledged that it didn't turn out the way he wanted, leading to his departure from the producing company, Cineguild, and its eventual collapse. It’s a story, involving as it does an ancient curse, that demands high passion and exquisite villainy, but it gets neither. The key failure is in the protagonists, Blanche Fury (Valerie Hobson) and Philip Thorn (Stewart Granger). They should be modeled on the Macbeths, the very byword for glamorous wickedness. She is an impoverished gentlewoman, née Blanche Fuller, from the wrong side of the family. He is the manager of the country estate of the Fury family, their own kin but from the wrong side of the blanket. Thorn has been scheming to be declared the legitimate heir to the estate, hiring a lawyer to track down any evidence that his father, Adam Fury, actually married his mother. Blanche comes to the estate to serve as governess to the daughter of Laurence Fury (Michael Gough), current heir to the estate and a widower. So you guessed it: Blanche is going to marry the insipid Laurence and fall in love with the virile Thorn, and the two will scheme to get their own hands on the estate. Except that in the portrayal of their schemes, the film goes out of its way to make Blanche and Thorn look better than they are, to justify their wicked ways. Blanche is shown struggling to put up with the harshness of her previous employer, an imperious dowager, and Thorn likewise suffers the abuse and indignity of becoming essentially a servant to a household he believes he should head. Blanche and Thorn should flame, or at least smolder, with passion, but Hobson and Granger strike only the feeblest of sparks, partly because the screenplay doesn't give them enough opportunity to ignite. Much of the film seems to be derived from better costume dramas; there is, for example, a death that comes straight out of Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939). There's also a lot of nonsense about marauding gypsies: The film's Roma are the stereotypical fortune tellers, trinket peddlers, and horse thieves. It has to be said that the movie is quite handsomely filmed in Technicolor by two eminent cinematographers, Guy Green, who did the interior scenes, and Geoffrey Unsworth, who shot the lovely exteriors in Staffordshire and Bedfordshire. If the story and the characters had the depth and color of its images, Blanche Fury might have been more than the routine costume drama it is.

Solitude IS pretty nice...😍😍🙈

And ohhhhh, sounds interesting! Esp. the part where Kara punched a Doc for harassing her🤣🤣 Mon sounds very interesting, too! Were you thinking more along the lines of S2 or S3 Mon (or a totally different version?) cause that kinda sounds fitting for his S3 self🤔🤔

Well, the crazy part is for sure, just didn't expect birds to be your chosen animal🤔😉

...Now you are making me worry about the animals around you😅 Lol, please let's not put animals and humans into the same category, animals are so much better 😉😉🙈

Lol, absolutely! Like, they were SO living the married-couple-life, no wonder Thara (...and Alura...and pretty much everyone) thought they were a thing for sure😅🙈 And yeah, I love robots, but THAT robot can just go run out of batterie or sth😖

Wait, on that note just a random thought rn (and kinda because your Maya&Kao idea kinda lives rent-free in my chaotic mind), but imagine what could have been if their future kid(s) had shown up when Karamel was on Argo😱🙈

From what I've seen, nearly everyone in that fandom was pissed, tho tbh even tho I only ever watched clips of that ship due to YouTube recommendations, even I was perplexed about how the heck they screwed THAT ship over... Like, I thought Karamel got screwed but Bellarke seems to have drawn an even shorter stick😅😅🙈🙈😖

Haha, thanks?😅🤣

Omg, Cat, Alura, Rhea and Lillian? That's worse/better than the end of the world🤣😖🤣 The only thing that could make it even worse/better is putting show!Lar Gand, Maxwell Lord, Lex Luthor and Morgan Edge into that room, too😅😅🙈

Oh no, your muse didn't have even the good grace to take you with her?😖😅🙈😉 Ehhh, my writing's been pretty screwed lately...😅 I managed a few sentences here and there but nothing I'm truly happy with, didn't even bother trying to continue the next chapter on my unfinished fic and I'm still growing new ideas like a bunch of weeds in my head😫 Plus, I don't really have time anyway, soooo🙈 Nope, definitely not better on my side😅

...🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ ...In my defense, I said I'll TRY, made no promises and I never ever claimed to not be an idiot 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙈🙈

Haha, thanks, hope you had and awesome day too and hey, week's nearly done💃🏻💃🏻

XXX

IT IS. I love being alone with my brain. Best fic ideas come to me on time like that xD

More like his s3 I guess? Like a man escaping his family or work. Maybe an ex soldier, healing from his experiences. Or just a dude having enough of coorporation life and his family.

So, in your humble opinion, what kind of animal would be my chosen?

Agreed that animals are better than humans, no argument here, but did you ever have mice at your house? I bet you didn't. =='

And Alura said he makes her happy TT And Mon said he can't lose her again. And thanks writers for completly fucking shit up :)))))

Also, i would love to see Zor El being there. Can't decide if he would be overproctive father or bieng best pals with Mon-El xD

That would be a otal... confusion? But they would appear there with a plan to make their parents a thing or by accident?

I mean, I have seen pics, was pals with their shippers but never really felt the chemistry, thrill whatever. Sucks to be thei fans, but welcome in the club of fucked up ships fans *shrugs* Plus, it seems the show didn't make any sense anyway, just like SG in s5-6.

You are welcome

Hmm, ladies vs dudes, older generation edition. Sounds brutal. But maybe it would be better for another AU. Lawyer firm? Music industry?

She's a bitch after all. Oh well, I know teh pain, i guess all fic writers went through this shit when the writing just doesn't look good. So, dunno, survive, keep calm and hopefuly future will bring your muse back. Or something.

So, in a way, you are worse than karamel saying sorry. Yay for you!

Almost weekend, that's the only thing that keeps me alive.

What if MC wasn't a lawyer?

Originally, this was going to be a list for me to have on hand for self-inserts or if I wanted to adjust Rosa for a fic. It become a brainstorming piece about all the alternate versions or jobs/work positions Rosa could have held instead of being a lawyer for Themis Law Firm.

WC: roughly 1.2k

In my daily checking of the "tears of themis" tag (by recent because yeah duh), I read sdaomine's minific au about vilhelm (svart!vyn) kidnapping his enemy's daughter and proposing marriage. And then another post in the tag was maybe about Marius's assistant minific- not sure bc I didnt read it. [edit: did read it later and no it wasn't, but this is now irrelevant.] But, point is, it got my brain going and thinking and I realized each of the boys have like an alternate place for Rosa to have been instead of Artem's subordinate in the Themis Law Firm.

Vyn:

1. A Svart citizen/person of royalty- someone who was/is also of lineage, and they connect that way. Maybe helping him ease the dislike he has of his home country. This person has the money and connections to get answers.

2. Someone Vyn works with or went to school with for Psychology n stuff. Someone who would also work at Giannovyn. Someone who knows how to observe and analyze the effects of the NXX drug, and maybe is sent from like the govt to discover how serious this is and how hard they need to crack down.

Marius:

1. His assistant. Duh. What more do I say. Not sure how they would be relevant to the nxx investigation but whatever.

2. Heir or high up in a competing company, and they personally are into biology and chemistry outside of work bc mc having two degrees or doctorates or whatever would be hot. Or maybe 3 bc they can have one in business, too. Sexy.

Luke:

1. Fellow NSB agent is the obvious piece. It would, of course, change their dynamic drastically, but I just think MC should be allowed to hot as an agent. Maybe they were kept secret and mc is undercover as Artem's subordinate. Anyway.

2. Even better, (or worse, depending) MC was recruited by some other agency/organization and so when they realize they're on competing intelligence sides...... hhhgg.

Now that I think about it, Artem also has an alternate:

1. Simply, instead of working with Themis, MC works for Baldr. Imagine that. Basically the same, but MC might be harder and Artem and them would be enemies to lovers. Sexy.

Darius: (because this is My Post)

1. Fellow detective. Pretty straightforward.

2. Someone who is in witness protection or is currently a Criminal (boss or second-hand) but isn't going to be pulled in because of a Deal that they and Darius make. Hhhhhhh this is self-indulgent but let me live.

Now, to a degree, I understand why MC is a lawyer. Someone has to prosecute (or whatever) the bad guys or the offending party. But if we went with any of these differing routes, here are some ideas-

1. In biology or chemistry, it would be neat to be able to test chemicals n stuff. Like... seeing how one thing reacts to a different thing, and trying to find the right combination.

2. Business... not really sure, but it could open up more characters and arguments/debates/conversations with people who are shady but you can't just pull them into court.

3. Agent stuff... this is obvious but a fight. This is, of course, the most attractive option, because it wouldn't be something you could skip- the cards would change to be able to be applied to weapons, maybe, or if you could have backup. Like "Clash Royale" from Supercell or something. That would be so cool!! This is. The coolest option so far.

4. Baldr option doesn't change this, really. It would still be debates n shit. Which is fine bc it wouldn't be Themis. Maybe we could debate against Artem in public court. Imagine the fics........ *ahem* Anyway!

5. Svart option... this would probably be similar to the business option. Connecting with government contacts and having a wider range of authority would be an attractive feature. Like, being able to meet with a government official, and then stepping out and checking in with a street contact and comparing the information. Maybe thats too agent-y, but I didn't specify what part of the Svart government MC's Svart family would work for/be a part of.

6. Psychology option (like if mc worked at Giannovyn) could be more specific like figuring if someone is lying n stuff? Watching someone speaking and having been told to look for certain tells, and you have to catch them by taping on them in that spot when the tell happens.

7. While an assistant [to Marius] would have access to the same stuff, they would have access to equals in other places. Someone who is overlooked, and would have a better connection with househands or bystanders, yanno? Being able to use the authority of Pax and being the CEO'S assistant, but also being able to meet regular people and being able to relate to them without the intimidating aspect.

8. As for the Darius mention, a fellow detective would be neat because then you can take part in interrogations or investigations- as someone posted the other day as an irl-lawyer-reacts-to-lawyer-otome said in the post, lawyers don't actually partake in the investigation. It just. Doesnt happen. And they're right!! So let me take part in investigating and interrogating and gathering info beside Darius!!!

9. Or as a criminal having connections under the table n shit. This one i mostly explained before but yeah having connections to who's selling what and oh through the grapevine of Crime or homeless or the overlooked, this is the info I got. Mmmmm. Thinking again of fics we won't get bc mhy are cowards

Honestly, the more I think about this, the more I wonder why the Heck MHY didnt choose these options. "For the cards" makes sense, I guess, but when you dont have to pay attention to the debate and they're just there to get resources and not pay attention to your phone... its disappointing. I do like the story finale debates because you have to choose the right evidence that applies, or the "hmm, no, this evidence doesn't match with that evidence" parts in the main episodes of story... (wow, do I just miss the main story?)

I think the cards could apply in different ways and they could really get more player interaction and giving-a-shit. It would be cool to know the stats of cards better, kinda like in Genshin, where you have to build characters a certain way to get the best results, whereas in ToT im pretty sure you just. Level shit up.

These are just my thoughts, but I'd like to hear if anyone has additional ideas or thoughts!

[Note: this was mostly written in descending order, so if I say "theres not much on this thought" in one place and then later elaborate, its because more came to me later for a different spot on this post.] [It was also typed and posted via the mobile app so please bear with me if there are errors... I'm doin my best]

Hi PS ... How is Arnav attracted toward khushi ???I mean khushi was traditional girl, doesn't know to speak English , her dressing , talking, thinking style is typical town type girl ... How is this possible ???

Hi!

Okay so ... I have over ten variations of this question in my inbox and I'm not sure whether it's multiple people asking or just one (very eager) person. The messages range from this one -- which is probably the kindest -- to ones that call Khushi names and imply she wasn't worthy of even looking at Mr Arnav Singh Raizada's Hermès shoes, and to ones that compare Khushi unfavourably to Lavanya.

Firstly, Arnav isn't classist in the way these questions imply. He throws around the terms 'middle-class' and 'gold-digger' because he knows they hurt Khushi, not because he genuinely thinks that money makes him a better person. He thinks his money makes him a more powerful person, and power is what matters to the outside world, but he's aware that money isn't an indication of character.

Secondly, he has two examples of marriage that he looks up to: Mama and Mami, and Anjali and Shyam. Both are between people of different classes -- Anjali married a mere lawyer (as she mentions to Aakash in Episode 31, the family cared more about whether he was a good person than whether he was from money) and Mama eloped with a servant. There is absolutely no indication that Arnav sees these pairings through any sort of negative lens because of a class difference.

Thirdly, Arnav is not attracted to Khushi because of outwardly traits like the way she speaks or dresses. He falls in love with her innocence, with the way she approaches life, and with what she brings into his own life -- including hope, forgiveness and healing. On top of that, Khushi fits into his family without even trying, in part because of the very things you’ve cited: the way she dresses, thinks, and speaks. She understands why his work is so important in a way that even Anjali doesn’t. Khushi challenges him when he needs to be challenged, isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and is intelligent in her own right. Arnav has a healthy respect for her knowledge and skills.

Fourthly, although Arnav said that he didn’t believe in love, the truth was that he didn’t think he deserved love. He thought he was too broken and had little to offer besides his money and status. He couldn’t imagine someone loving him for him, someone accepting all the darkness inside him when he couldn’t accept it. Enter Khushi, someone who seems too selfless and innocent for this world (so much so that he first assumes it’s all an act). At first, she seems to disagree with the very foundations of his life, and he notably he ends up justifying and explaining himself to her at every turn. Once she understands him, however, she accepts Arnav as he is and in turn, makes him want to be a better man. For all that these questions are asking “what does Arnav see in Khushi” in various ways, one has to understand that from Arnav’s point of view, the question is “What does Khushi see in me?”. In his mind, she’s entirely forbidden because he’d ruin her light with his darkness.

Lastly, the whole and entire point of this love story was to show that true fulfilment isn’t necessarily when you find someone who is equal to you in terms of education, class, and ambition. Arnav’s life, despite having a loving family, a successful business, a girlfriend who matched him in all aspects, and more money than he could spend in a lifetime, was empty. As the world becomes more and more materialistic, people are finding solace in things that cannot be quantified, cannot be bought and sold and ticked off on a list. The intangible things that Khushi brings to Arnav’s life are exactly the point of their love story.

Thanks for asking :) Given that I received this question almost daily for a few weeks, I’d like to remind folks that I need time to think about, draft, and edit answers. Sending questions in repeatedly doesn’t generate more hours in my day, it only pisses me off.

[Interview] 2PM's Taecyeon 1st Look Magazine

In "Vincenzo", going back and forth as the foolish intern lawyer and the cold-blooded sociopath, Ok Taecyeon has added tension. Another side of him begins.

Q: It has been approximately one year since your last acting piece and you're back with the drama <VINCENZO>. Did you watch the first episode?

T: Of course, I really enjoyed watching it. Actually, I don't know much about the part without my appearance until I watched it on TV. So, it's like something new to me. Watching the first episode, I realized I am in a project that's much bigger than I thought.

Q: What's your reaction?

T: Overall, it was fun. However, there were many scenes with the comical elements came out stronger than I thought. As this is the work from scriptwriter, Park Jae-Beom, I expected some comical elements to some extent but most of them, I didn't even think about it.

Q: Like you said, scriptwriter Park Jae-Beom is someone who will address the social issues in a comical way. What's it like to work with him?

T: While I was reading the script, I thought the writer has something he wanted to say. He wanted to bring out social criticism through his piece of work. Actually, the black comedy genre needs to be more comical so that it won't be too heavily weighted. It's not easy. The scriptwriter managed to solve this without placing too much weight on this. Personally, I am very impress.

Q: At the drama press conference, Director Kim Hee Won told us that she worked very hard on each character to the extent that it took her 6 months to do casting. Why do you think Ok Taecyeon became Jang Jun Woo?

T: I think the biggest reason is my good health. From Director Kim's perspective, bright and healthy image matches with Junwoo's character. She said I should be able to explore and express this character well.

Q: Actually, I thought Jang Junwoo would be very different to the Ok Taecyeon that we know for a long time.

T: When I first received the script, I thought, "Should I be doing this?" because Jang Junwoo and I have a lot in common. The very first scene for Junwoo is riding an electric scooter, which made me feel if someone is hiding a camera to film my real life. I like to ride it all the time (laugh). However, as the story unfolds, it is more than just Junwoo's foolish out look. I'm going to show a different side of me, so I am paying a lot of attention in my acting.

Q: With a different side, what would that be?

T: I think Jang Junwoo is someone with many sides and shadings. It's character that goes back and forth between cold and hot bath. I keep thinking, "Can I express it like this?" I am thinking into each and single details. Personally, I have never acted like this before, so I'm expressing it in various different ways under the directions from the director. Viewers will be able to see this, I wonder how they will accept it.

Q: Personally, I think your "Tikitaka" with senior lawyer played by Jeon Yeo Bin was impressive. I'm looking forward to see the chemistry between you two. (T/N: "Tikitaka" means "the situation whereby someone does something and the other supports with efficient responses")

T: Actually I tried to get to know each other better. She's an actress who receives well and so, we are in sync when say our script lines.

Q: Jang Junwoo is an intern who just took his first step into the society. What was Ok Taecyeon like when he first started? Let's talk about the old days.

T: When I first started working... It was already 15 years ago (laugh). Back then, to me, everything was fun. The very first time I earned my own money was when I did some modelling. At that time, I didn't have a manager, so I took the bus with heavy stage makeup. I also went to practice just like that. However, everything was really fun. At that time, my parents were in the US and I came back to Korea alone. One of the fun things is to tell them each and everything I did for work.

Q: <VINCENZO> will be meeting global viewers via Netflix. Will the global viewers be able to relate to the story?

T: For sure, I don't think there's anything you can relate to it. This is because it is a black comedy where they are pointing out the current problems in Korean society. However, if you look at it at a wider scope, the definition of a dark hero is the same in any society. Viewers with their conventional thoughts and curiosity will have questions as to why things are not resolved by the law. I think this is where <VINCENZO> will attract the global viewers.

Q: You have been an actor for more than 10 years. When was the first time, you are convinced about this?

T: I think it was at the time when I was filming the drama <WONDERFUL DAYS>. One day after shooting a scene, the writer praised me for doing well. While I was filming, I thought, "Am I doing it okay?". I didn't know I would get a good compliment. After the filming, I was able to feel the relief of my nervousness, which I have never felt before. For the first time, I thought, "Is this the charm of acting?"

Q: When you first dream of becoming an actor to now, is there any difference?

T: Well, I think we should use the expression "When I first started" rather than "When I first dreamed" about it. I think I really started not knowing what was really going on. With the thought that I am working with nice people, every time I go to work, I will think about how I can contribute to make it interesting and fun in the filming. I thought about how I can express more. I think it's about time for me to think about how to make my characters look new.

Q: Actually, there is no right or wrong answer for acting. Sometimes, there are different opinions but what kind of choices do you have to make?

T: Personally, I will analyze the characters and prepare a lot of things. Sometimes, I will approach the director. Times like that, I will follow the director's instructions. Of course, there are also times when I have my own thoughts. However, no matter how I act, it doesn't mean much if it gets edited out later. I came across an actor who doesn't look at his acting at all on the monitor. If he sees his own acting, he would be forcing his acting without realizing it. So when he the director says it's okay, he is okay with it, too. After hearing that, I thought that was right too.

Q: What attracts you when you look at a piece of work?

T: Personally, I think how the story flows is important. Next is, what can I show with this character? I will look into it.

Q: What's the joy living as an actor?

T: While you get to play different characters every time, you can also break down people's prejudice. I think this is the part with the most fun. So I think it's important to take on new challenges with something new. I am always thinking how to keep people's attentions and to what extend people can take when I do something outrageous.

Q: If so, what does actor Ok Taecyeon want to show with his acting?

T: Honestly, instead of showing a completely different side of me, I am trying to focus on what I already have and I'll increase all aspects little by little. I was watching my acting to look for the character's flow and what the character is missing all at once. I'm trying to do that (laugh).

Q: By the way, at the end of last year, 2PM announced their group comeback at a live. How's the preparation going?

T: We're preparing but I'm not sure if we can make a comeback this year (laugh). We are planning but there are situations overlapping so we need to organize that.

Q: Since 2016, it's been 5 years since your last group album. Personally, anything you want to show us?

T: As all our members are composing songs, we all have different ideas. Like what music to use as our title song? We cannot make a start unless we find our direction. Actually, once the title song is decided, it will progress from then on, but members haven't come to a decision yet. Recently, our first round of gathering failed (laugh).

Q: Define Ok Taecyeon in a few words. What words are appropriate?

T: A lot of people said the words "healthy" or "vitamin C" (laugh). Personally, I like all of them. However, if I put them all together, I hope I can become the "Happy Virus." Doesn't matter where I go, I want to give happiness to many people. As a singer who is acting, if you watch me act and you can feel the comfort and happiness from my heart that would be great.

Q: I think you have achieved this. Everyone in the site here today is happy. Thanks to Taecyeon.

T: Really? Then, that's all. What. Hahaha...

Monica: Strömgården's care facility, you're speaking to Monica.

Ludde: Yes, hello. Felicia Kroon, is she there? I have to speak with her.

Monica: Are you on the list of relatives?

Ludde: Yeah, it's... This is pretty urgent.

Monica: Okay. One moment, please.

-

Monica: Felicia, there's a call for you.

Felicia: Sorry. Hello? There's nobody on the line.

Monica: Strange. It sounded like a young man.

-

Amie: Hello? Hello? Oh, my god!

Elias: It's just me. Can you let me in?

Amie: What the hell are you doing out there?

Elias: I didn't want to wake your mom.

Amie: She's not home. You can't just do that. You're stupid as hell. Elias? Elias? Are you okay?

Elias: Yeah. It's fine. It's fine. Sorry, I'm just... I'm just a little tired, okay? Hey... I'm sorry about last time. It came out so wrong, it just... I'm so fucking stupid.

Amie: Yeah. It's fine. Come on. What's going on? Seriously. Have you been exercising?

Elias: There's something wrong with me.

Amie: Do I need to call somebody?

Elias: No. No, it's... It's fine. It's better now.

Amie: I've missed you so much.

-

Ludde: Thanks.

Klara: Of course.

-

Amie: You should probably talk to someone. Maybe your dad or something.

Elias: It's fine. Hey... There's no need to worry, okay?

Amie: Felicia got help. What you're describing sounds like an eating disorder or something.

Elias: No. I got sent home because they wanted to see development, and if they don't, then... Then I won't get back to the US. I can't screw this up.

Amie: But if you keep going as you are now, you'll break.

Elias: Hey... If you go... And I end up here, then... Then I'll break.

Amie: But I'm not going.

Elias: What do you mean?

Amie: I mean, I... Never mind. You're not the only one who... Just forget it.

Elias: What happened, Amie?

Amie: You should probably get out of here. Mom's coming soon.

Elias: Okay.

Amie: You know how she'll get if she finds you here. Elias... We can't keep going like this. You need help. And I care so much about you. I just want you to be doing well... But I can't be with you if we keep going like this.

Elias: Just screw it, then. Nobody is forcing you to be with me.

Amie: That's not what I meant.

Elias: You know what? Let's just forget this. It was a stupid idea.

Amie: Elias...

-

Felicia's letter: Hi, Ludde. I know, a letter. Who even writes letters anymore? But I didn't know how else I would express this.

I am so sorry that the lies affected you and your family too. I want you to know that what happened after didn't have do with you. You shouldn't feel responsible for what I did.

You were right. I needed real help. I was just too scared to admit it. But this isn't really what I want to write about. It's not about that. It's about you and me. About us.

There are people who come into your life at the exact right moment. People who become eternal in one's life even if they're only apart of it for a short, short while. You are such a person. You're eternal for me, and I will always love you.

Maybe we won't be together, even if we love each other. But that doesn't mean it's sad. That doesn't mean we should be unhappy. Because that doesn't make the time we had less important. We deserve to be happy even if it's not with each other, and I want you to be happy.

Your Felicia.

-

Mats: Excuse me, have you seen a guy running by here?

Girls: Who is he?

Petra: Are you out running around town? Just like the good old days.

Mats: Hey, Petra! It's been a... You look nice.

Petra: That one doesn't work on me anymore.

Mats: No... No, I'm looking for my... Yes, Elias. Have you seen him?

Petra: Have you thought about putting a GPS tracker on your children?

Mats: That would be good.

Petra: Hey, it was good I bumped into you actually, because there's something I'd like to talk to you about. Did you know Elias and Amie are seeing each other?

Mats: Seeing each other? Oh. No.

Petra: Well, they are anyway, and I don't want that. So if you could talk to him, maybe we won't have to deal with match shirts, empty promises, and all that. Okay?

KELLY SEVERIDE

Chicago's IT Lawyer And Girlfriend

Requested: yes

Prompts: none

Warnings: none

Authors note: /

"I hate this." You whisper sleepily while fighting the urge to yawn. With your head against the window you scan the area in front of you.

So much press.

"I have to go there and give them a 5 minute long statement at 6 in the morning."

Kelly Severide doesn't fear the press and easily manoeuvres his car onto the free parking space, reserved for Chicago's finest law fighters only.

The muscled arms of your boyfriend easily turn off the car and wrap around you.

Bathing in your boyfriend's cologne is just the right thing you needed to be able to fight through the day.

"You got this. You're Y/N Y/LN." You snort at his words. They have a drop of mock in them but you know what he really means.

Ever since this case got out in the public, where you're representing an Interpol agent in a case gone wrong, you've been the news' favourite plaything.

Chicago's IT lawyer, they call you. Y/N Y/LN now holds serious weight. Luckily for you, you managed to snatch the heart of this hardworking lieutenant before you became so badass at fighting the law.

"I wish we can go eat after your shift is over," You admit. "But the press has been on my tail since this thing blew up."

Kelly isn't a stranger to the news outlets, he had his own share of being in the centre of their attention.

The kiss he gives you melts you in a puddle. It makes you weak in the knees like always and suddenly your stoney facade crashes and you become Y/N. Just Y/N.

"Crush them babe." Kelly encourages. "I'll be watching the news."

"Channel 9?"

"The firehouse watches you on Channel 6?" He tells you. Kelly just found out that his girlfriend is more in the spotlight then he ever thought possible for a hotshot lawyer.

"No, no, no... Channel  6 is rubbish. They make things up." You're quick to explain. "And what's even worse... They edit me to make it seem like I'm a heartless monster. I don't wanna be a heartless monster Kelly!"

"Okay... So channel 9 then?"

"Yes! That way when I meet your friends they don't think I'm heartless."

"You're not heartless baby." He says, his long fingers tucking a strand of stray hair behind your ear.

You check your watch and realise that it's time to go. "I'll see you after shift?"

"Of course. Break a leg Y/N!" He yells once you're out of the car.

"Don't say that Kelly you know I'm clumsy!"

***

The 24 hour long shift is killing him. He spends more time in the common room than at the squad table because that's where the TV is.

After a lot of attempts he finnaly managed to get Mouch to switch the news to channel 9. Just how you told him to.

"Andy Holland. Never liked the guy." Mouch comments on the news reporter.

"Yeah like Miranda is any better. She just spreads lies." Kelly shoots back. The two channels are reporting things very differently and he's looking out for you.

"But it's kind of true." Brian agrees with Kelly. "Channel 6 makes it seem like Y/N's a monster. Andy gives her some credit at least."

"Thank you!" Kelly yells out to him.

"And why do you care Severide?" Cruz joins the discussion. "Sure she's hot and smart but there's no way you can get into her pants. Not hers."

This sparked Kelly's interest. They have no idea. "Oh really?"

Joe let's out a "mhmm" before retreating to the comfort of his bed.

At that moment, Kelly's phone dings, indicating a new message.

From Y/N [4:55 P.M]

Hey you left your wallet at my place. Want me to drop it off?

I'm meeting the client and my team at 7 and I'll be gone until the morning.

Night shift suckssss!

A smile sneaks up on his face without him even noticing. He types a reply quickly, full-heartedly inviting you to the firehouse with the simple message.

***

Just 15 minutes after the small exchange, you're outside the firehouse leaning against your sleek womanly car. You patiently wait for Kelly with sunglasses over your eyes.

You notice him jogging towards you and soon you're in his arms. "I missed you."

"We saw each other this morning Y/N."

You give him an offended look once you take your sunglasses off. "Can't a girl miss her boyfriend?"

"Yeah," He leans in for a tortured kiss, showing you just how much he missed you too. "She can."

You pull away blushing and move to grab your bag. Finally, you fish out his wallet and hand it to him. "Well. Here you go."

"Do you wanna come in?"

"Who? Me?" You're not really dressed to impress. You wanted your first encounter with them be normal. Normal as in you will dress up like a normal woman your age and act like it.

But in the outfit that consisted of a black pencil skirt, white blouse, black blazer and pointy heels you were meant for formality and formality only.

"I want them to meet you." He admits. "I realised how hard it will be to not talk about you. Everyone thinks that I'm way out of your league."

"Oh so your plan is to get me to meet them so you can brag about sleeping with me." For a second that thought hurt your heart.

"No, no, no, no... I just want to be able to brag about how amazing you are as a person. And how much I love you." He leans in until you're inches apart. "I want them to know that we're serious about each other."

He stays quiet for a moment before whispering "And also... They're fans of you."

"Well in that case." You loop your arm through his. "Let's go meet them."

***

"Hey Severide! Come see what they're saying about your imaginary girlf-" Mouch' words die right on his tounge when he sees who's on Kelly's arm. "Girlf-f-friend. Y/N Y/LN is that you?!" He points between the TV and your living body aggressively with his glasses.

"In the flesh... Mouch?" You remember his name because of the detailed description your boyfriend gave you.

"She knows my name! Oh my Trudy is going to be so happy." He puts his glasses back on and starts to work his way around his cellphone, eventually succeeding and calling Trudy Platt. "Stay right there." He tells you and dissapears. You can still hear him even though he isn't in your line of vision.

"How much did he pay you to play his fake girlfriend?" A dark haired man with an impressive mustache comes up to you. Absolutely chirping with joy, almost as if he isn't surprised at all. Mustache.

"Oh! You're Brian right? Or Otis? I don't know which one you prefer." You tell him shyly, embarrassed for not knowing what to call him.

"You can call me whatever." He wraps his hands around yours and places a kiss to the back of it. It brings slight blush to your cheeks and he sees that as the day's biggest victory.

"Okay Otis that's enough." Kelly steps in.

"Y/N Y/LN. I've heard so much about you." An older man comes up to you with glitter in his eyes. He enthusiastically takes your hand and instead of pressing a kiss to it like Otis did, he shakes it with such honor that surprises you.

"He's a fan." Otis fake coughs.

"Of course I am. Y/N I've been watching the news ever since it became public." He slowly pulls you away from your boyfriend and sits you at the long table. "I gotta say. You're great! Calm, cool, collected... A little bit cold but that's alright. My wife Cindy, let me tell ya. She loves you. Emphasis on loves."

You're lulled into his conversation that not even Kelly can get you away from him. Once you're done you realised one simple thing about the older gentleman - he loves to talk.

"Oh my my." Another voice appears by the door. "Y/N?"

"Um...hi. I'm here with Kelly nice to meet-"

The man pulls you into a bone-crashing hug. "You're with Severide?!"

The surprise in his voice and the knowing look on your boyfriend's face caught you off guard. "Yeah? He's my boyfriend."

You easily connect the name to the face. Joe Curz in the flesh.

"Hey, hey what's going on in here?" Another voice joins you and you recognise it. Truck's lieutenant and alderman, Matt Casey, joins you in the common room and stops when he sees you.

"Alderman Casey." You greet your old friend.

"Y/N Y/LN. Haven't seen you in a while." He gives your hand a firm shake for formality sake before you both drop the facade and pull each other in for a hug.

"Wait you two know each other?" Your boyfriend asks in shock. He did not expect this.

"Yeah. Matt and I met at a few events." You explain. "A few glasses of burbon and we were pronounced as friends. Didn't I tell you that?"

A pitch of guilt shoots through your body at the untold information but when you see Kelly smile you immediately relax. "Sorry I didn't tell you. Guess I forgot."

"Don't worry. How long until you have to go?" He asks you before sneaking his arm around your waist.

You check your watch. "An hour."

"Good. Let's have some fun." Kelly kisses your forehead and you join the rest of the buzzing firefighters.

When you leave the firehouse to go to work, you not only leave with the weight off your shoulders but a lot of new friends.

[phoebehalliwell]

Now I’ve got ColexPaige on the brain and now I’ve got a hypothetical! What if Cole and Phoebe ended things when she “vanquished” him in Sleuthing with the Enemy? Down in the dumps, but not wanting to give into evil, Cole then decides that he’s gonna get some space. He quits his job and takes a job as lawyer (or maybe a social worker bc that would be interesting) at social services! Queue work rivals Paige & Cole! And Paige stealing the book is when Piper and Phoebe rediscover Cole. And there are MANY feelings had by all 😂

omg okay for starters b4 i even received this i was already percolating on a paige/cole edit issue is like. there really aren't any s4 clips from the remaster left on youtube meaning i gotta grab whole ass episode meaning i gotta like. know which moments to grab 😓 so um. if u have any fav paige/cole moments!! send em my way!! but yes. because like. we'll say cole and phoebe blew up in his face. as it turns out, women do not like it when you manipulate and try to murder them. and their sisters. but like who's counting. cole's got that fuckin post breakup vibe he's feeling ugly and stupid and lonely but like. there's also kinda an epiphany happening. because he felt best when he was with phoebe, because she saw him as a good man. he liked being seen that way. and like. he can't really get phoebe to see him that way because of the whole tried-to-kill-her-multiple-times-things and also she swore if she ever saw him again she'd vanquish him on sight (au specifically were instead of faking cole's death phoebe didn't have to make the call after cole saved her from krell the zotar (?? zotar the krell ???? prue is a scorpio ❤) and cole got the hell outta dodge avoiding a vanquish. he shows up in the movie like hi phoebe 😳 and phoebe meets him at the mausoleum punches him again and threatens to throw the potion but she doesn't so cole's thinking he's got a chance so he pushes his luck Then phoebe throws the potion and cole shimmers out just in time to dodge it so um. maybe not!!) But cole's thinking if he just like. Is A Good Man. people will look at him that way. so now all he needs to do is like. be a good man. which is easier said than done.

so we'll say he quits the da job because it was given to him through demonic connections and he like. gets a job doing legal work for social services because like. what's better than helping people?? like he does have an actual law degree he might as well use it. and it keeps kinda going like how it went when he worked in social services for like ten minutes in s4 like. like he's like yes i'm gonna be a good person and help people : ) and then keeps seeing shit like hey!! what the fuck!? this guys fuckin sucks ass oh my god this guy fuckin sucks ass and like. my god does he want to murder them 😐 but like we'll say phoebe had some crucial line like how good people don't murder. so he's like hhrrrrnnnnghhhh. and like. paige is canonically bad with paperwork and deadlines and all that and cole's just like very terse so when paige misses the deadline for getting some important paperwork to him he definitely snaps and paige isn't one to take that shit laying down she's like jesus fuckin christ man anyone ever told you you're a horrible fuckin person? just like god awful? fuckin demon i swear and cole is like 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 because that's not the point of this!!!! aaaaaa!! and so the next day he's up at paige's cubical like hi. i want 2 apologize. for being. rude. yesterday. and paige is like okay... because cole clearly has more to say and cole is like yeah it's just like i'm trying very hard to be a good person and you're kinda fucking ruining it w your lack of organization and it's really making it difficult for me so yeah. and paige is like that's your apology? that's your apology? have you ever apologized to anyone before in your life? and cole kinda makes this face because looking back on it um no. he hasn't. and paige kinda sees that like what the fuck?? for real?? and she's like okay well watch and learn. cole. i'm sorry for missing the deadline with the paperwork. i've been really scattered lately and i know that's not an excuse; i've already called the whoever and filed for an extension, giving us an extra week of wiggle room. the paperwork is currently complete on your desk. it won't happen again. i'm sorry. and cole's like good. and paige is like dude!? and cole is like i mean um. thank you. i accept ur apology. um. thanks. and paige is like yeah. you're welcome. dick. and cole is like 👍.

but from that point on paige is really intrigued with cole because she always just assumed snooty big wig with a big expensive law education who never cared about anyone and was really only doing this as some type of penance someone was forcing him to pay because like. god that's his vibe he really does not seem like. capable of doing any of this right. but the more she looks the more she sees him like really fucking trying he's just unbelievable lost and she's like huh. so you know she throws him a bone like hey you know like this is this and that is that kinda explaining this that cole doesn't get because he's clearly new to this job and sees kinda new to the whole concept of being a good person and paige has been here a while so she can like help. and then bonus is like. at the office christmas party or something and paige and cole are now basically kinda like friends (and paige's gay blonde friend and her also gay boyfriend with the pizza face. they r bi4bi And t4t. and they are paige's besties. and by extension cole is friends with them. they're all like in love you're in love smoochie smoochie ahaha office romance and both paige and cole are like shut up!! and like. again. cole is kinda only doing this because he wants someone to look at him like how phoebe did. look at him like a hero like a genuinely good man. and paige doesn't look at him like that. she sees him as he is, a kinda bad person maybe just mediocre trying really really hard to be good like does he really want someone to see all the milage? someone to know how hard he has to work? no. he just wants to be the white knight the angel. that's what he wants.) the point is maybe they have like that cheap office champagne or something happy holidays and cole offers to get paige a glass and she's like no i don't drink and cole is like oh i didn't know and paige is like haha yeah i mean it's not something i talk about a lot i have kinda a drinking problem in the past did some things i'm really not proud of you know and cole is just kinda like. like the other shoe drops the lightbulb flicks on. because he always assumed paige was just always a good person. but as they get closer and cole finds out more about paige's past he learns that she wasn't always like this like she has done some awful shit too!! she wakes up every morning and chooses to be good. like him. it's not something you're born into. he thought you had to be born good and he could fake it and try to fit in and like put it up as an act but that's all it'd ever be an act to receive love but knowing that it's a choice for everyone. that no matter how you're born, you have to wake up and choose to be good every day. like. that's what he's doing. is he good?

and then we're like teetering on the edge of a paige/cole relationship but they have like a really solid friendship and if they cross that line there's no coming back and they're like coworkers you know so neither of them have the nads to make that jump even tho their friends are like do it do it do it And Then. prue dies. paige becomes a charmed one. what? she steals the book. she's reading it at work. she hits the page phoebe made solely dedicate to cole's human side, with the belthazor page right next to it. what the fuck?? busts her way into cole's office and slams the book down on his desk like this you?? and cole's like you're a charmed one?? and paige is like um hello you're a demon???? that's clearly the bigger reveal here??????? they like. have to like take a solid hour to clear the air because like. cole's gotta come clean paige is like did you try to kill my sister?? and cole's like okay origin story time. and it's funny because it's like. insanely close to like what paige thought was his origin story the only difference is instead of his really rich and pretentious douchebag family being metaphorical demons, they're just literal demons. but she still doesn't know how she feels about that. but um here's piper and phoebe like where's the fucking book!??!?!? paige !!?!?!?!? and spot cole and at like kill kill kill piper freezes the room and them immediately tries to blow him up but paige gets in front of him and orbs him out, dodging piper's blast and like time resumes because piper's powers r still on the fritz and cole just sees his filing cabinet up in flames, his ex girlfriend, and paige's hand still on his chest and is like oh boy.
