What Are You Looking For?

literally anyone: hey what are you thinking about right now

me, at any given moment: i’m not like you. i can’t afford to be reckless. i wasn’t raised by a loving, supportive family like you were. i have centuries of history bearing down on my shoulders. my life is the crown, and yours is politics, and i will not trade one prison for another. i can love you, and want you, and still not want that life. i’m allowed. alright? and it doesn’t make me a liar, it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, and you don’t get to come in here and call me a coward for it.

I just realized I put down the same option twice??? But I worded it differently??? Or just separated them in my head for some reason???

… anyway, po-tae-toh po-tah-toh, we have a winner 😌

Poll time!

Everyone’s feedback has been amazing (tysm for that!). 40 people voted on my last poll for the ratings of my fics- and I will absolutely take into account the results!

Since I think there’s enough people now to do this, I have a new poll:

I’ll try to finish whichever wins ASAP, and work promptly on the other options as well.

Ok so I never post here and I wan to start doing it more often but-

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE HOW THERE WHERE EPISODE EASTER EGGS IN TONIGHT’S EP?!?!

I kept looking at that toy train trying to figure out what it was until Buck picked it up and then- LIGHTNING STRUCK ME (too soon?)- and it’s referencing the TRAIN DERAILMENT EP.

Someone else probably pointed it out by now but I just thought it was cool 🤧

“I’m not like you. I can’t afford to be reckless. I don’t have a family who will support me. I don’t go about shoving who I am in everyone’s faces and dreaming about a career in fucking politics, so I can be more scrutinized and picked apart by the entire godforsaken world. I can love you and want you and still not want that life.

I’m allowed, all right, and it doesn’t make me a liar; it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, unlike you, and you don’t get to come here and call me a coward for it.” 

Alex takes a breath. “I never said you were a coward.”

"My love for you and Polly, it's so very real. It's just that...there was always something else, just as real. No matter how much I didn't want it to be."

Listen, I love Max. I do want him to win another WDC. But, after last year, I love seeing everyone be more competitive.

I also need to see the analytics of those Mercedes because George has been the one carrying the team so far this season

That 1cm to the barrier gave me a tiny heart attack, I need that left rear to hold out at least 10 more laps

Ahh Lou stop we have two weeks I’m gonna dieeee

FINALLY FINISHED IT! I hope you enjoy it 🫶🏻

Perhaps, after all, that is what love means

”I get the impression that it will be hard for me to deny you anything.”

“How observant, detective. What led you to that conclusion?”

He chuckles, smiling at Henry, who looks at him with a glimmer. Like a kid looking at candy floss.

“A hunch.”
