I know motelgate is kind of all about one bed right but what about those we both couldn’t sleep in our separate rooms and now we’re standing at a motel vending machine together at 3am in our pajamas talking and staring at each other in an infinite hallway with nobody there, enjoying the intimacy arguably even deeper than being alone in a small room of being in a public place where there could and should be people but aren’t.

dan thoughts!!
since a lot of people headcanon one of danny’s obsessions to be space driven, i think it would be cool if dan’s secondary obsession was the complete opposite: the ocean
space is a thing of dreams. it’s beautiful, bright, colorful, and people look at it with awe, admiration and respect, there’s reverence in the way people look at the starry night sky, and to some it brings them joy to think “the stars i gaze at tonight are the same my ancestors did as well”. it connects the past to the present, the memories of the living to the dead.
the ocean is terrifying. it remains mostly unexplored, and the dark depths hide horrid creatures, disfigured predators. there’s no light in the lower zones, only eternal darkness interrupted by whatever luminescence the creatures down there give off. the ocean invokes fear, fear of the unknown, fear of nature’s might. to brave the open seas is to welcome danger and defy death. numerous tragedies took place at sea, and to many, that’s enough to deter them from ever getting too close.
if danny is like the universe, seemingly infinite, full of wonder and ethereal otherness, a symbol of progress and comfort and the creation of life, then dan must be like the ocean, regarded with caution, associated with fear, capable of immeasurable destruction with its volatile will, depicted as an incomprehensible horror synonymous to death-
that despite all odds, harbors life even in its harshest conditions.
i like to think that dan’s creation was a symptom of grief, a consequence of losing yourself, of drowning, and that his redemption could only happen through love, through having something to hold onto, through someone who won’t let you sink.

I know better than to write familial headcanons for Miles and Miles G. before the movie even comes out. Still, I like to think that when the twins meet, Miles is too traumatized and paranoid to trust Miles G. And Not Uncle Aarron, so he sticks to his plan of doing his own thing and getting home without help. It's bad enough that he's a "mistake"; now he's looking at the victim of his usurpation in the face and cannot bear to be in the same room as him without guilt and shame settling in his chest like bricks. Miles shocks off the chains wrapped around him and flees into the night.
Miles G. follows after him.
Cue Miles G. attaching himself to Miles and refusing to leave his "dumb twin" alone, and Miles, knowing damn well he could overpower this Prowler version of himself, is resigned to being forcibly adopted by this look-alike who calls him "twin" and won't let him out of his sight for a second. It's not like Miles is secretly happy to finally have a brother who understands him. Nope. Not at all.

Road Trip 1/4 🏙️
Kerry: "Fuck, couldn't even tell ya when the last time was I went on a road trip."
V: "Never been on one at all."
Kerry: "... you kiddin'?"
V: "Well, I guess you could count that half year I worked as a roadie. But that was more work than fun."
Kerry: "If you're travelling with a band and don't've stories of wild escapades to tell on day two you're doing somethin' wrong."
V: "That so?"
Kerry: "Okay... lemme tell ya a story..."
I recently talked about how I love imagining Kerry and Vince on a long-ish road trip together, telling stories, absentmindedly holding hands, just enjoying the scenery and getting away from NC for a little while. And starting arguments with random radio DJs about old songs xD I bet Kerry has many stories to tell not only about his Samurai times but also his own tours and the shenanigans he went up to. Even Vince has a handful of travel stories to share, although he's not nearly as far-travelled as Kerry.
Where are they headed here? Not as important as they way to get there...

Lucifer picking up on IK's style of humor is adorable omg
Got me thinking... what other things would the brothers and Ik pick up from each other?
I'VE THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE TOO hang on let me try to remember the good ones
satan holds cups weird - by the base, with the bottom sorta resting in his hand, because it's easier to balance them that way when his other hand's occupied with a book. ik's started doing it too, but she has to use both hands because demon-sized cups are so big
one time belphie asked ik where beel was and ik responded "he's eating hot chip" (he went to hell's kitchen) and now all of the brothers say that when beel's gone out to eat
(including lucifer, but only in the privacy of the house of lamentation - and only in front of mammon, who no one will believe about lucifer saying it)
ik unconsciously does a happy little wriggle on the spot when something exciting happens, like a cool scene in a movie or a victory in a game, and sometimes levi copies her cause he thinks it's cute. then one day he does it on his own when he wins a pvp match and he realises "oh no"
when they get caught off-guard by something really funny, ik and mammon laugh the same way (one time they synced perfectly and it just made them both laugh more)
every now and then ik catches herself copying lucifer and satan's hand-on-chest idle pose
ik described a loud critter in creature studies as 'a chatty little guy' and now satan says that whenever he encounters a vocal animal
