you know I can't resist... scydia
His fingers glide down the curve of her hip like a skier on a slope. It was only because of Lydia that Scott ever went skiing, when she took him last year during the winter. He hated it. It was like ice skating but worse because when he fell, he slid in the snow and down a hill where he faceplanted like an idiot.
Smooth skin turns thin and white. Stretching out along her side in a curve that almost meets in the middle to form a full moon.
Lydia had laughed when he fell in the snow.
The soft noise floats out of his mind and into the air between them as her body both pulls away and pushes closer to his light touch. She murmurs something, muffled by her pillow, then turns her head to look up at him. Her eyes crinkle when she finds him gazing back intently, caught in the act with hasty innocence.
"Sorry," he says quietly, aware that there are other sensitive ears around them that could easily tune in. "What did you say?"
She gives him that look; her lips press together, forming a little heart as the real one skips a beat like it's playing a familiar game on a warm, sunny day.
"I said" --she catches his hand in hers as he moves it, just a little bit, sliding up the slope of her ribs-- "that tickles."
Scott bites the inside of his cheek but it does nothing to tone down his smile, which is mirrored back at him when he unabashedly says, "Sorry. My bad."
He strokes his thumb over a small indent between her ribs, feeling her sharp inhale. It's quickly pushed back out in a chuckle that she smothers when she presses their lips together. Neither one of them are entirely awake yet -- hell, they've barely slept in the last forty-eight hours. Yet somehow none of it seems to matter.
They meld together so easily, his arm winding around her to pull her body closer to his as her own hand travels up his bicep to his neck. It's been a hectic two days. They've nearly died a few times. Scott's not entirely sure they'll survive tomorrow with the way things are going.
But it doesn't matter. The world could be ending right this very moment, and he still wouldn't want to be doing anything else. With Lydia, everything else is quiet. Ironic, maybe, but it's the truth. When things get bad, he reaches for her, and she's there. And, somehow, he just knows it'll be okay, one way or another.
She hums quietly in the back of her throat and pulls away. She doesn't go far, just enough to lean their foreheads together as she caresses his cheek. He's torn between opening his eyes to see the tiny smile he knows she's wearing, and the way her eyes flutter beneath closed lids -- or keeping them closed and letting his other sense be enraptured by her touch, the softness of her skin, the smell of her perfume mixed with the nearly overwhelming scent of something neither of them has quite put a name to yet.
But they know. Words aren't needed to say it.
He opens his eyes and finds her already gazing back at him. They both smile, and they know. It's in the way Lydia's eyes flit between both of his, pulling her lips between her teeth with a sudden shyness. It's in the way Scott gently tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear and lets his fingers linger, caressing her cheek with a softness that would have startled her a few months ago. And it's in the way that he knows that, and so he shows her that softness and tenderness at every given opportunity, through caresses and kisses and looks and words. The way he holds her hand and body and heart in his own and she doesn't doubt for a second that she is safe, and he knows that even if he does faceplant in the snow, she'll be right there to help him laugh it off and help him back up.
So, yeah. They don't say it. Not yet.
But they know.

NEIL GAIMAN'S CHIVALRY WINS THE EISNER AWARD
Very happy to announce that NEIL GAIMAN'S CHIVALRY won the Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium at last night's ceremony at San Diego Comic Con. Presenter was Batman producer Michael Uslan.
We're incredibly grateful and pleased, and no one is more surprised than I am.
This book is for all ages, it is gentle, it is a fairy story, it is about an old lady and a knight in shining armor, and the kind of King Arthur who lives in my dreams and not in blockbuster movies, and I am so grateful it has been so well-received.
I waited decades for this.
I cannot thank you all enough.
Neil Gaiman's Chivalry is based on an original short story by Neil Gaiman. Adapted and illustrated by me. Lettering by Todd Klein and me. Published by Dark Horse Comics. Editor Daniel Chabon.

Potential series(?)
Scott Pilgrim - Dating Gideon Graves Headcanons
He wasted no time in asking you out
He first saw you at a massive party; in the ocean of people dancing and chatting, for some reason you just caught his eye
He found out who you were via Julie, who knows everyone ofc
He approached you with full confidence and asked you out flatly
He had a really messed up backup plan if you said no, but thankfully you said yes
The first date (and many dates after that) took place at a five-star restaurant, followed up with a movie in a private theater
He refuses to let you drive anywhere by yourself; he hires a private chauffeur just for you
He doesn’t like you working (unless you can work from home), one: because he wants you to be available for him 24/7, and two: because he wants to be the provider in the relationship
He really likes wearing the pants in the relationship
You’ll have to fight for it if you want dominance in any given situation
His love languages are showering you with expensive gifts and doing bougie stuff with you
Fancy restaurants, trying on everything in the Gucci store, helicopter flights, buying gold like it’s gas station gum…
And high society parties, naturally
He loves dressing you up all nice and showing you off to his billionaire friends
He also loves talking trash with you about said billionaire friends as soon as they walk away
He’s toxic like that,,
You guys don’t really do too much “normal” couple stuff
He doesn’t like holding hands or being all domestic
He prefers your ridiculously expensive (and hence abnormal) life as the 1%
He does like smooches though
His favorite place to kiss you is your lips, but he also might kiss your forehead/hair if he’s trying to avoid messing up your makeup
He takes you everywhere with him, so you’ll get to travel a lot (and spend hours in boring meetings…)
It’s not often that you guys end up asleep in the same bed at the same time, but if you are he’ll absolutely cuddle with you
He also likes to cuddle when alone on long flights or when watching anime together
He’s the big spoon—he’s not going to argue about it
Nicknames for you include “doll,” “babe,” “sugarplum,” “sweetheart,” and “princess”
He likes to be called by his first name, “my prince/king,” or “big man”
All in all it’s not the most affectionate or emotional relationship, but if Gideon likes you then he REALLY likes you and he’s not going to give you up anytime soon
Take that as a blessing and a curse…
You may or may not end up being cryogenically frozen
Tumblr media
Thank you so much for reading!! I might make this a series if y’all are interested (maybe for characters outside Scott Pilgrim too)!
Take care lovelies!! <33

Hey Crush, I hope you're doing very well! If you're still taking prompts for drabbles, can I get one for a sleepy Jenna who refuses to go to bed because she just got back home from filming and she misses R? She falls asleep on the sofa while watching a film with R and R tries to carry her to bed but she just drags R down and ends up snuggling up on top of her. Thanks kindly! :)
Tumblr media
Three months, she’d been gone. Jenna was always jet setting somewhere, working her tail off like her life depended on it. In reality, you knew she could quit yesterday and still live in the lap of luxury. But that isn’t how she is, she loves what she does and she does it damn well. It’s one of the many things you love about her.
Luckily, this time it’s a movie she’s filming, so she’s not gone long. Longer than you want, but not TV show long. You check your watch, it’s 9 PM. She should be landing soon. You wanted to pick her up, but she insisted you stay home, away from the many prying eyes and late night LA traffic. You know she’s going to be exhausted when she gets home, she’ll be jet lagged after being on the East coast for so long. You have the bedroom set for her, water at her bedside table, the blankets drawn back.
You turn on one of your favorite movies while you wait for her. It just so happens to be one of her favorites too, and now it makes you smile when you watch it because it reminds you of her. Plus, Scott Pilgrim is a true gem in the cinematic world.
You’re lost in the movie, chuckling as Scott battles Ramona’s exes. You don’t realize how late it’s gotten, and you jump when the front door swings open. Jenna stumbles in, her suitcase thumping against the floor as she tosses it inside. She winces at the sound and her eyes quickly find you, dragging yourself off the couch.
The smile on your face is so wide it’s almost painful. You open your arms up to her as she kicks the door shut.
“You’re home!”
She gives you a tired smile and falls into your embrace, squeezing your waist tight, burying her face in your chest. You hold her for longer than usual, the unspoken need to be together washing over both of you. You rub her back, pull back and kiss the top of her head.
“Let’s get you ready for bed, yeah?” You ask her.
She pushes back from you as a commotion from the TV crashes through the entryway. You realize you have the volume up entirely too loud when Kim Pine shouts out, “We are sex bomb-omb and we’re here to watch Scott Pilgrim kick your ass!”
Jenna gasps and slides around the hallway to stand in front of the tv, her face rapt with joy, “You’re watching Scott Pilgrim!”
You laugh, following behind her, “It’s almost over now. We can watch it again tomorrow.”
“No,” she shakes her head stubbornly, kicking off her shoes and dragging you to the couch, “let’s just watch the end. I’ll go to sleep after.”
You let her pull you to the sofa and drop down next to her, wrapping your arm around her as she leans in to you. You start sitting up with her head on your shoulder, but that quickly turns into you laying on your back, one leg hanging off the cushions, and Jenna laying on top of you, her head resting under your chin. You run your fingers over her back, happy to have her with you again. Somehow, even after traveling all day, she still smells good, like her perfume and something uniquely Jenna.
You feel her breathing even out with only a few minutes left in the movie, and you know she’s out cold. You resign to watching the rest of it and letting her rest before you move her. When it ends, you try to slide out from under her, but she grumbles and squeezes you with a strength that never fails to surprise you.
“Baby, let’s go to bed. You’re already asleep, come on.”
She shakes her head, mumbles into your shirt, “No this is okay, this can be bed.”
You laugh, your chest bouncing her head, “No, we have a very nice King sized bed in our room. We do not need to sleep on the couch. I’ll carry you if you don’t get up.”
She sighs, pushes herself up, “Fine, you can carry me.”
Her face has lines pressed into the skin from your shirt and her makeup is smudged on one side. She looks so cute you can’t help but laugh as you work your way to your feet, untangling your limbs. You reach down for her and she grabs you around the back of the neck, pulling you on top of her. She giggles and kisses your cheek, then your lips. You press your hands into the cushions, trying to keep most of your weight off of her.
With your lips on hers, you worm your hands behind her back, leaning into the kiss. She leans up into you, her body pushing into yours and you slide your legs off the couch, scoop her up and grin triumphantly as you stand with her in your arms.
“We are sleeping in our bed, whether you like it or not,” you say between laughs at her surprised yelp.
She drops her head back to hang upside down over your arm, “If you insist! Take me to bed!”

CARMEN SANDIEGO CHARACTERS + MOVIES
Boo I felt like making headcanons again bc I spend more time wondering what these assholes do in their free time than I do on my job
CARMEN
Didn’t have access to movies growing up so Player, Zack, and Ivy have been catching her up on the most popular ones
HORRIBLE to watch with. Doesn’t really understand “suspension of disbelief” as a concept and will ask stupid questions the whole time. Player almost ended their friendship because she nitpicked Lord of the Rings for being “unrealistic”
Enjoys low stakes 2000s girl chick flicks like mean girls and legally blonde. She has enough stress in her life man she just wants to relax
HATES heist movies because of how innacurate they are. Team Red has taken to watching them JUST to hear her pick them apart
PLAYER
Sci-fi/fantasy junkie. Anything and everything that has aliens/magic and shitty practical effects from the 80’s/90’s he is all over
Has never said a single kind thing about the Star Wars franchise in his life. They are his favourite movies of all time
ADORES Edgar Wright and has slowly been converting Team Red to his movies. Zack loved Baby Driver. Ivy loved Shaun of the Dead. Shadowsan loved Hot Fuzz. He considers Scott Pilgrim the pinnacle of Canadian cinema
Cannot STAND the amount of remakes happening in Hollywood recently
ZACK
Canon enjoyer of blockbuster action movies. Everyone dreads the nights when he gets to choose a film bc his taste is so generic
Does not know what the Snyder cut is. Thank god
His only redeeming quality is a love of early dreamworks. Will not stop quoting Madnagascar
Has seen every Marvel movie and thinks all of them are good. Player has BEGGED him to watch better movies but he won’t. He’s the type to rag on Scorsese for being “boring”
Has seen Kevin Feige’s extended filmography. Does not know who that man is
IVY
Horror fanatic
Banned from choosing movies for film night after convincing them to watch her “favourite lesbian romcom” with her. That lesbian romcom was Saw
Ellen Ripley was not only her personal hero but also her gay awakening. The Xenomorph queen was her second gay awakening
Also loves period dramas. Enjoys the tiddies and knows she would look SO good in those fancy waistcoats the men wear
Watches old slashers with Carmen and laugh whenever someone dies in a stupid way
SHADOWSAN
Faculty considered movies “low brow” entertainment so he hasn’t seen a movie made before the year 2000
Loves a good mob flick. Got into Scorsese specifically because Zack hated him. Goodfellas is his favourite
Everyone assumes he enjoys samurai movies but he actually HATES them. Hideo would ramble about historical inaccuracies the whole way through and he’s still bored just thinking about it
Used to love Yakuza films back in the day but they were soured for him after actually living as one
Loved Knives Out, found Daniel Craig VERY attractive, and has since fallen down the James Bond rabbit hole
CHASE
The most pretentious film hack you’ve ever met in your life. He is taking you to a back alley screening of some arthouse eastern european gay porn on a first date and it will be the most profound thing you’ve ever seen in your life
Detective noir movies and cheesy black and white romances are his favourites. He likes falling asleep to them
He and Player both appreciate animation as a form of cinema, but while Player is referring to like. the Mario movie, Chase is talking about some 3 minute Russian stopmotion surrealist piece from 1951. He attends Annecy every year and has been banned from the Oscars due to threats of violence
He likes Poirot tho. Transmasc king
JULIA
If she has a few hours to herself she’d rather watch a documentary than go to a movie theatre, but she loves historical dramas
Enjoys biopics but thinks it’s stupid to make them for people who are alive
Likes watching movies for the sake of trash talking them, so she is the only person who can tolerate sitting through one with Carmen
LOVES Wes Anderson though. Chase got her into his stuff and the symmetry scratches an itch in her brain. But don’t tell him that
Also enjoys period dramas for the tiddies
CHIEF
Shitty cop movie enjoyer. The kind of person who insists that Die Hard is her favourite christmas movie
LOVES heist movies because of how inaccurate they are. Will mentally nitpick whatever secret service is going after them and be like “ACME wouldn’t do that lol”
She’s semi aware that she’s the antoagonist in Carmen’s own heist narrative so she’s started having fun with it
Closet lover of b-tier comedy movies. Like the ones with Adam Sandler and Kevin Hart on the cover
Does not enjoy watching movies socially. That is quality time for her and her cat. She does not have to shush Commander

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE TEEN WOLF MOVIE:
Ok so first of all, the Nogitsune's "divine move" didn't make any sense, wtf was that? They broke all the rules. You can't be a fox and a wolf
Then, there's the lousy excuse for Stiles and Lydia breaking up. The hell. I don't even ship them, but like NO. What, it was too hard to say that he was on an important FBI mission? Losers
Liam, Mason, Hikari, Jackson? What were yall doing here? What purpose did you serve my dudes? I freaking love Liam, and I was so excited for Hikari, and then they give us this. They barely even talked.
I was so confused during the entire movie, I didn't know whether or not Chris and Melissa were still a thing??
It wasn't explained properly enough that Malia was actually kind of Eli's aunt/cousin/sibling, like it took me a while to figure out he had grown up in her presence
Btw who tf is Eli's mom??? When they started mentioning Harris I was like oh we're probably gonna see Jennifer again right it's all linked, she came right before the Nogitsune it would make sense that she has something to do with his return and maybe she's also Eli's mom, like it was the most logical explanation if we think of the timeline but no, nope, Eli just doesn't have a mom!
Also what was Harris doing here? And the acting of the guy who plays him was weird (sorry to hate but not sorry it was really bad)
Allison coming back to stay just ruined her previous departure
They should have implied Thiam was a thing not give Liam a f*cking girlfriend
The way Allison came back was laughable
Why did they have to make Malia and Parrish a thing they interacted like twice
The random swearing every five minutes just because they could put it there smh
The way they explained Eli's reluctance to transforming being trauma and then Derek doing just the thing that traumatized Eli in order for him to transform and it working???
I'm so sad and disappointed we didn't see more Malia/Derek interactions it would have been f*king hilarious
Last but not least, Derek. Derek dying, after everything that he'd been through. After all the abuse and years of fighting. They pulled an Enzo St. John fr. Derek dying in the same way his entire family died. Burned alive. And the writers being like "Yeah but look it's okay he became a true alpha" IDGAF. HE PROBABLY DIDN'T GAF EITHER. MY DUDE WANTED TO LIVE. HE WANTED TO RAISE HIS KID. AND THEN HE DIES AND ALLISON AND SCOTT JUST KISS LOVINGLY LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED, LIKE ELI ISN'T CRYING ON THE GROUNG TRAUMATIZED AFTER WATCHING HIS FATHER BURN TO DEATH?!?! Also Malia was the one who had the most appropriate reaction like thank you for being the only one to be shocked and crying, queen. Your cousin deserved better

i have been having flower ranchers thoughts, and was wondering if there were any ideas youve been rotating in your mind but haven't said anything about yet?
they're such silly little guys
I know everyone seems to agree which empire Tango would end up if he were plopped into season two (I mean, Tumble Town, the ranch, Jimmy, ya know), but what about season 1?
I feel like he'd avoid places with a lot of water like the ocean and the swamps, because of his whole association with fire. And I feel like he'd avoid areas with a lot of foliage like... the overgrown, the undergrove, or the jungle since there is a LOT of flammable material there.
My first thought actually was Pixandria or Mezalea, since they're the hottest and driest, and also Tumble Town is in a mesa and the Vigil in Pixandra with all the candles... idk I feel like you could do something with that.
But then if we also take into account that one skin of his that has like the blue hair (which from what I've seen no one can agree on whether that is ice or blue fire), then maybe he's an elf who lives in Rivendell? Maybe he's... idk, the keeper of the ancient elven library, or resides in a series of catacombs beneath the city.
I think... the idea I like the best is having him in the Grimlands, since they seem to be very innovative and technology based, and also they have their whole lore with the redstone which fits in nicely with what I know of Tango.
Maybe he's an advisor to Fwhip, or otherwise close to him, and he and Jimmy get to have a nice little enemies to lovers arc. Jimmy starts having flashbacks to double life (if we play around with the timeline here) while also having flashbacks to 3rd life and has no idea what it means. He remembers two different husbands from two different lifetimes, but he can't remember their faces, and he doesn't know why but his heart starts to pick up and his face flushes every time he imagines that arrogant elven king and that unbearably smug redstoner from the grimlands.
Meanwhile both Scott and Tango are having dreams of a husband with golden hair and equally golden wings, dying in front of them, and they don't know what it means. He feels real, real enough that they want to find him and be with him again. Maybe they discover each other's dreams and start trying to find their shared husband together, and fall in love along the way. And they're both developing crushes on the Codfather the more they see of him.
But obviously it can't be Jimmy, are you insane? They said wings, he's a fish. (They're all so stupid /affectionate)
I started out with no thoughts at all and then you dragged this from me. Thanks lol this was fun to think about.
IDK, I'd love to hear other people's ideas for season 1 empires Tango.

So I know that most people are content with all of the winners being celestial bodies. I am too. However I had an idea inspired by another post I saw regarding grouping the winners into groups of three. I really like this idea. However I propose a second theme from the second group.
So we have the first group, Sun/Stars/Moon. Grian/Scott/Pearl. Those were decided like the second they won, not my contest against those.
However for the second group there is more arguments regarding what their like planet should be. So I propose a theme of Soldier/Poet/King. Of course betting on the fact that the next winner will fit the theme of King (ren winning season 6 crew rise up)
It also makes some sense these theme of system. Not just based on the games but on the person themselves. Martyn. He won Limited Life, a game where you could kill more people than ever before. A game where violence played a huge part. Not just with the boogeyman but also how you could kill upwards. No other game was done that, that I know of anyway. He won by betrayal, fighting against his allies in order to win.
Scar. His game was all about secrecy and tasks. Completing some random objective in order to gain hearts. Poetic in how much of a stark difference to the other games. Games where you couldn’t gain more than 12 hearts, games where alliances were formed day 1 in order to survive. Scar won a villain, not by choice but rather through the tasks given to him. Things he has no control over. He refused to let Pearl sacrifice herself, refused to let history repeat itself a third time.
In conclusion the winners for limited life, secret life and hopefully the next game should all fit into the Soldier/Poet/King category. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

“If you don’t get your act together soon you’re going to make me a liar, Martyn,” says Scott, by way of greeting.
Martyn looks up from the chest he was searching through and raises an eyebrow. “Well hello to you too!” He glances around at the fairly empty interior of his and Jimmy’s house. “Wasn’t expecting guests. I would’ve made the place a bit more presentable.”
Scott smirks knowingly. “Oh, would you now?”
“Nah, but it’s a good excuse, innit?” He shrugs. “Anyway, what were you saying? I’m going to make you a liar? That’s a new one.”
“Oh, yes. The other day I said you knew what you were doing,” says Scott.
Martyn snorts. “Ouch. I see. Bold thing to say to a red name.”
“It’s not my fault you keep getting yourself killed!” says Scott, cheerfully. “I’m starting to think you’re doing it on purpose.”
“On purpose?” says Martyn. “I mean, not sure why you think that, but I think I’m going to take it as a compliment.”
“I wouldn’t put it past you!” says Scott. “You know, trying to go out first after you won, just for the drama. Trying to best Jimmy’s curse.”
“No,” says Martyn flatly. “I wouldn’t do that, and you know it. That’s more your style, actually.” He sounds oddly defensive.
“Alright.” Scott holds his hands up in capitulation, expression softening. “Just wanted to make sure.”
Martyn stares at him for a long moment, as though judging his sincerity.
Scott looks back, open.
“Good.” Martyn brushes past him and out the door to stand on the cliff edge, looking towards Scar’s courthouse.
Scott follows.
The sun is setting.
He looks over at Martyn. He’s staring out over the server, but his expression is far away. It doesn’t take long, though, for him to sense eyes on him.
He turns his head abruptly to Scott, grins, and gestures over the landscape, drenched in red-orange light. “Everything the light touches…” he says dramatically, “is my kingdom.”
Scott snorts, and opens his mouth, but Martyn keeps going.
“A king’s time as ruler,” he says, mock-solemn, measured, “rises and falls, like the sun.”
“Uh huh.” Scott gives him a look as amused as it is fond, as Martyn keeps quoting The Lion King at him. “Scar would be loving this, you know.”
“One day, Scott,” continues Martyn, and hesitates.
Scott can see in his eyes the moment he fully commits to the bit. He’s never been one to do these things halfway, after all.
“One day,” Martyn says softly, “the sun will set on my time here.” He places a hand on his heart, and gazes at Scott with something that looks so close to sincerity as to be indistinguishable. The light behind him makes it hard to see his eyes.
“And?” asks Scott.
“And what?” asks Martyn.
“I might be misremembering, but I think it’s supposed to rise with me as the new king,” says Scott.
“Nah,” says Martyn. “That’s not how it works. You already had a go, leave some for everyone else.”
Scott laughs slightly. “If you say so. I do think it’s our kingdom, though.”
Martyn frowns. “What?” He looks taken aback. Almost upset, even.
Scott raises an eyebrow. “In the film? It’s our kingdom, I think, in that quote. Not my kingdom.”
Martyn blinks at him. “Oh. Right.” He recovers quickly. “And that dark place over there.” He points. “That’s Bigb’s hole. You must never go there.”
Scott snorts. “Low hanging fruit, Martyn.”
“Hey, I’ll take what I can get,” says Martyn.
“You should’ve heard Jimmy earlier. Cleo and I may have been bullying him a bit.” He looks around. “Speaking of which, where is Jimmy?”
Martyn looks at him for a moment, wary. “Why?”
“I wanted to talk to him,” says Scott mildly.
“…Right. Right, of course.” He sighs. “Not sure, over by the Secret Keeper maybe? Wouldn’t blame him if he wanted to yell at it for a while.”
“Thank you, Martyn,” says Scott.
He considers leaving.
Martyn is staring out across the server again.
“How was dying in the void?” asks Scott.
Martyn pauses for an unusually long time, before he answers. “…Slow,” he says flatly.
“Oh?”
“Yeah. Started out at thirty hearts, so I was falling for… a while.” He looks away for moment. “There was nothing I could do. I was already dead. Just had to fall through the darkness and feel my time run out.” He sighs. “Wasted a golden apple and everything.”
“What, you ate it? Why?”
“Guess I panicked.” Martyn shrugs. “I mean, I had to do something other than just wait to die. Wish I’d chosen something else though.”
“I’m sure it’s fine,” says Scott. “If it made you feel better, it doesn’t really matter.”
“No,” says Martyn heavily. “It doesn’t.”
Scott frowns.
“How-” says Martyn, and pauses. He gives Scott a calculating look. “How would you do it?”
“Do what?” asks Scott.
“I died,” says Martyn. “It was pointless. It was stupid. It didn’t matter.” He stares at Scott as though trying to look into his soul. “How do you- how would you make it matter?”
He is, Scott decides, being a bit too obvious to let it slide. “How do you make anything matter, Martyn?”
There is a flash of betrayal in Martyn’s eyes, barely there before it’s gone. “I- I don’t know. Stakes, maybe?”
“Maybe,” says Scott. “But there’s a difference between finding something to care about, and daring the universe to kill you.”
Martyn glares at him, for several long seconds.
Scott looks back.
“I’m not doing it on purpose,” says Martyn, eventually. His voice sounds tight. “I’m not.”
“Why did you go into the dragon fight on yellow, Martyn?” asks Scott, pointedly.
“I wouldn’t have been on yellow if we healed like normal,” says Martyn.
Scott gives him an unimpressed look. He's not entirely sure that's even true.
“Jimmy did it too,” snaps Martyn. “Why aren’t you interrogating him?”
“Maybe I will,” says Scott. “Why won’t you answer my question?”
Martyn opens his mouth, and pauses as though hoping he’ll be let off the hook.
Scott looks back at him.
“…I can’t stop now.” Martyn looks at him, as though pleading with him to understand.
There is an edge of desperation to his voice.
“I can’t stop now,” he says softly. “Nothing else will.”
Scott sighs.
“Haven’t you heard?” says Martyn. “Red names don’t get free time. We just have to keep going until we die.”
“Everyone has to do that, Martyn,” says Scott, tiredly.
“You don’t understand!” snaps Martyn. “I had something to care about, I found something to care about, and that was winning. But now- but- but now…”
Scott takes a step back, and looks at Martyn. Something about him puts Scott in mind of a dog, left behind, alone, in an empty house, and throwing itself at the locked front door, over and over again. Barking and clawing and fighting, to the point of exhaustion.
There’s no point in arguing with him on this.
There’s nothing to be gained in pointing out that “caring” is very broad term. That Scott isn’t convinced Martyn ever actually did care about winning, and not just the idea of it.
Scott sighs again.
“How come, after everything, you still get to be good?” says Martyn. His hands are clenched into fists. “That’s not fair.”
“That’s very kind of you to say, Martyn,” says Scott. “But it’s a bit more complicated than that.”
Martyn exhales slowly. “Yeah. Yeah, I know.” Very deliberately, he relaxes, putting a casual hand on the hilt of his sword. “I know. Forget I said anything.”
“I won’t!” says Scott brightly.
Martyn gives him a look.
“Ok, ok, sorry,” says Scott. He pauses for a moment, considering his words carefully. “You just have to find another thing to care about. And then another, and then another. And so on.”
“That sounds exhausting,” says Martyn. That sounds impossible, say his eyes.
“Less than the alternative, I think,” says Scott. They stand in silence for a little longer, before he smirks. “Besides, if that wasn’t my philosophy then I never would’ve let you win, now would I?”
“Let me- excuse me?!” says Martyn indignantly.
Scott laughs. “It’s a joke, don’t worry,” he says, to soften all the ways that it isn’t a joke, really. “You know me, I would never bend the rules!”
Martyn looks at him, and then his eyes dart away to look across the server, and then he looks back. “I really don’t know how you do it,” he says, voice light enough that anyone else listening would think he didn’t mean it.
“It’s not easy, but I manage!” says Scott, as though he doesn’t mean it, either.
“Yeah, well, that’s sort of the only option, isn’t it?” says Martyn. He looks up at the darkening sky. “You know, you should probably head back before the skeletons start showing up.”
Scott nods. “What would I do if I didn’t have you looking out for me?” he asks sarcastically, eyes soft.
“You know, somehow I think you would live,” says Martyn. He voice is just as sarcastic. His eyes are distant again. “If I see Jimmy, I’ll tell him you were here.”
“Right. Thank you, Martyn,” says Scott.
“No problem,” says Martyn, and turns away to stare, once more, out across the server.
Scott leaves.
He gets back home before night falls, because he knows what he’s doing, and he doesn’t take risks by accident.
He doesn't see anyone.
He hopes Jimmy wasn't caught out in the night. He hopes he was right about Martyn, as unlikely as that’s starting to look. He hopes he isn’t made a liar.
He’s not sure he can take caring for another canary.
