SOTP

[kaiju_mittons]

Because everyone's doin' it........................ also, I haven't done one for 84 years!

State of the Me: For the most part, I'm good! Like, honestly, I feel pretty good. This week, in particular, has been making me pretty anxious but I think it'll blow over by Friday and that's all due to work and my car battery dying. The battery has since been replaced and hopefully the work situation will resolve itself with minimal repercussions >.>

I started acting classes a few weeks ago that have made me so happy and just really inspire me to do more in the way of that line of work. I kind of abandoned that dream years ago because I never thought I could actually do something like that but this year, I've been pushing myself to do things that are a little out of the box. I also got a new keyboard so I can re-learn piano but haven't even had time to take it out the box yet. SOON! I plan to sign up for dancing lessons and in the near future, possibly even singing lessons because I'd ultimately like to audition for some of the shows they put on at the theatre I'm doing the classes at. I just feel... right when I'm doing that kind of thing, you know? That's such a rare feeling, I never want to be anywhere else and time always flies when I'm in the class. Idk, don't look at me, I'll get emotional or something.

I'm also going to New York with Laine in a month to see Raúl Esparza sing so I am AMPED AFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FOR THAT, HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU GUYS SAY NICE THINGS AT MY FUNERAL WHEN I INEVITABLY PERISH FROM THIS FUTURE RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE.

Oh, right, I guess I should talk about the pups?????? HERE GOES.



NEWT GEISZLER



Literally just being his typical, Newt-y self. He got stuck in an elevator and almost murdered Coop so there's some healing that might need to happen there. Also, just minor thing, HE GOT HIS ARM BROKEN BY LINCOLN OVER THOSE 'ROID DRUGS. So if your pup catches him, he's probably still in a sling since it's been about 4 weeks since it happened. I imagine a couple more weeks from now, the fracture should be close to healed. I don't have any particularly big plans for him. Home plot is always somewhere in the back of my mind, but it's also a big commitment so it's still ~pending. Especially considering I somehow managed to add TWO NEW PUPS to my roster between March and April, what even.

In any case, I always like threads with people just wanting to shoot the shit with this guy. He can be pretty much anywhere, which is nice, and if anyone needs him for anything, I'm happy to oblige.

SPENCER REID



Spencer, Spencer, Spencer. My bae is getting fucked up. Leah and I are doing a thread right now that's dated for this coming Sunday, where Reese will accidentally hit Reid with a truck LMFAO. To be fair, Reid will also be in a car when it happens, going after an unsub who's been wreaking havoc on families every full moon for the past few months. Your pup may have heard about that on the news or something so feel free to incorporate, if you wish. The M.O. is to go after mom-dad-son families, and the mom is always compelled somehow to kill the father, leaving the kid behind. In my head, the unsub is a Super, which might be interesting if/when Team No Machine pursues K.I.R.I.N., but I'm not entirely sure how that all might work out.

In any case, I'll probably do a private post and if anyone close to Reid wants to come visit him in the hospital or something, I'm all for it. My poor angel. Sorry not sorry. Maybe he can help Alec and Magnus wedding plan during forced bed rest :3

Also, he loves his husband and son, this has been a PSA.

ROSS POLDARK



Just doing his Ross thang. Still being shady about building a house for his family, but I am planning to finally make that sucker complete by summer. Probably June, since I don't have much going on in the way of personal things right now. One of my best friends is coming for a weeks in May from South Carolina, so I imagine I'll be trying to spend as much time with her as possible, plus NYC trip is happening then, too. June seems best, just because I do want to get it done and the family moved in and Demelza surprised XD

I am considering putting up a post where he's out working on the house in the country all hot and sweaty, a la the gif above... ***eyeballs emoji*** That one, I'd probably do in May.

HAN SOLO



Han has the whole Sword stealing thing with Philip and Coop lined up so whenever that happens, I'll be good to flow with it. In the meantime, he's hanging out with his usual crowd of Rey and Poe but has also picked up a new ~special interest in Molly. He digs her, okay, it's fine 8))))) Right now, he's mostly just cruising but it would be neat to get him involved in other plots, too, so if anyone has any idea, give me a shout.

HAROLD FINCH



Harold is meeting more people outside of Team No Machine, which I quite like. He's also very quietly smug about John and Karen hooking up, shhhhh, it's fine. I'd like to think up some kind of bigger and farther reaching plot for Team No Machine to tackle, possibly involving K.I.R.I.N. like I mentioned before, but I'm also so open to ideas because Finchin' ain't easy, okay????

BODHI ROOK



MY BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS FLOWER. Is there anyone more innocent and pure than Bodhi Rook? THE ANSWER IS NO! I love him so goddamn much, idek. Right now, he's still getting to know Darrow and sticking close to Rogue Fam. He's got a lot of Feelings when it comes to what happened with Rogue One and Scarif, but he's trying to work past it by buying lots of flowers for his faves and also avoiding sleep as much as possible. So he might look like a beautiful, tired bb, but he will always have a smile for you because better that than sit there and talk about everything that is terrible.

I'd love to find him a date or something, even if it doesn't turn out to be something that sticks. A lot of my pups have found love pretty easily and stayed true to the first person they've always been with, I think I'd like to explore dating around for a pup. Obviously, if something clicks and naturally falls into place, I'll be stoked! But also, I am completely open to something like casual dating turning into friendship or something. Someone could also just hurt his feelings, too, because Jyn would beat them up for it and I would pay to see that.

RAFAEL BARBA



This glorious bish. What do I even say? I'm so happy with his threads right now, there have been dynamics that are already surprising me and others that I love so much I will melt right into the floor. Barba is doing his best to adapt, he's at least good at doing that, but wrapping his head around what it means to be in Darrow is DIFFICULT. He's already lurking around City Hall, so I anticipate he'll be trying to get back into that swing of things as soon as he can. I do wonder if I should make it a job requisite to send him back to law school for a semester because he's required to learn about Darrow-specific law or something... that would really chap his beautiful ass, it might be fun.

My main goal with Barba is really to shift the focus of his life to personal relationships. Everything has been about work for him for years and years so that's my biggest interest, kind of just forcing him to allow people into his life. I think that's also why pretty much forcing him to go to school just so he can go back to doing what he loves would work out nicely. He could work like, a clerk job or something for a little while, and he would hate it and correct everyone and bust in with his opinions all the time but at least he can get close to people. WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT.

So everyone be friends with Barba. Because look at him. FACE.

FUTURE PUPS

LFMAO NO! No. I am shocked I've been handling seven pups well enough, considering a lot of them get tags that end up being hella long. In any case, if I were ever to app someone else, it would either by Tomas from The Exorcist or Martin Riggs from the Leathal Weapon TV series. Right now, I can't even consider putting someone on reserve but hey, you never know...

Side note: WHEN CAN WE GET A DEMON TO CAST A MUSICAL SPELL OVER DARROW? PLS AND THANK.

THANKS FOR READING, NOW LEAVE A COMMENT TO PROVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED GETTING THROUGH THIS SOTP :3333

Comments

[alltheircrimesarejust]

Not a date but Rey and Bodhi should meet and be determined little sunshines together.

[kaiju_mittons]

Yesssssss, I agree!

[kaitmaree]

Oh, man, Raúl Esparza in New York sounds amazing. Have a blast!

I don't know what to request beyond more Newt??? Maybe for Rebecca? He's forever such a delight, Darrow wouldn't be Darrow without his dumb face~

Also, when I've apped lawyers they've to pass a test in Darrow to practice law, ftr, but I think it's up to the player.

[kaiju_mittons]

I will cry!!!!!!!

I'm good with more Newt and Rebecca! Maybe at the next gathering they're both at or something :D

LMAO is that on the Wiki? I clearly don't do substantial reading :'D Barba would be hella relieved to not have to waste time in school so I can make it work either way. THANKS FOR BEING SO ACCOMMODATING, DARROW!

[kaitmaree]

I have no idea if it's on the wiki. I just know that Laine did it with Emmett and I did it with Avery and will be with Rebecca. Better question for a mod than me!

[sunkenships]

I'm like 99% sure it's on the wiki somewhere, but I (and the rest of the mods) cannot find it for the life of me, so yes, this is a thing! With any profession requiring specific licensing, or even just school degrees, those credentials can follow them to Darrow, though it's up to the player if they run into any trouble on that front (paperwork lost in the shuffle~ or whatnot). Doctors etc. have to pass a skills test, and in Barba's case, he'd have to pass the Darrow bar exam, but wouldn't actually need to go back to school unless you wanted him to have to deal with that.

[kaiju_mittons]

Oooooooooh, good to know. As hilarious as it would be to send him back to school, he would be SO PISSED XD Maybe Molly can help find him a job with the DA or something lmfao he can still have to work his way up, which would at least be a slightly softer blow to his ego~

[sunkenships]

Yeah, she could def help get him in touch with the right people/put in a good word, she's got plenty of connections~ and such. :D

[floozyfacade]

lmao, we should throw Newt and Harley together sometime, even though Harley doesn't talk very much and is awkward af, just because Kate's pretty much his oldest friend and his awkwardness makes me laugh.

Also okay Eden would totally go on a date with Bodhi, whether it led to something or just friendship, nbd. His face is precious and she is getting back to the frame of mind where she thinks she should at least try dating again maybe because it's been like two fucking years since her boyfriend vamooshed.

[kaiju_mittons]

It's been YEARS, idek how this hasn't happened yet XD I anticipate that Newt will bug the hell out of Harley, and I love it.

Oh my goodness, YES. They are both so cute, it just seems natural~ XD Bodhi isn't necessarily on the lookout for romance so I think it would be awesome if they ran into each other a couple times (gatherings? private threads? BOTH?) and then one or the other brings up going out on an actual date. Bodhi will be blushy as hell over it.

[floozyfacade]

Harley has probably been avoiding it ever happening for exactly that reason, lmaooo, HE KNOWS WHAT NEWT IS LIKE. Private thread?

That sounds excellent! :D Any excuse for my slow-ass self to get more Bodhi tags, man, I'll take it.

[kaiju_mittons]

fjdkls;dsa HARLEY IS SMART. Yesssss, private thread sounds perf!

Psshhh, they ain't even slow-ass, you're all good! And even if they were, I would take them always :D

[waitingtobelit]

Have so much fun in New York! And I'm glad you're enjoying acting classes. I hope you get a chance to pursue that more because it sounds like something that genuinely makes you happy and that's always a good thing!

I love Newt and Newt and their current thread. I also really love that OG Newt calls him Other Newt. XD It's delightful.

And I'm enjoying Marius with Barba so far! LOL Marius will probably laugh at him a little if he has to go back to school.

[kaiju_mittons]

Thank you, for all! I've definitely lined up things to look forward to for myself, which I think has helped make this year better and even feel like it's going by a lot faster. Hopefully, it'll all just add up to something even greater.

LMFAO, it's glorious. He's so amped. At least if there's another Newt, it's one who also likes weird monster things XD

Glad to hear that, I'm enjoying their thread, too! Barba remembers being a law student well so if Marius ever needs help... well, Barba's not a very willing or enthusiastic OR supportive mentor but still, he's there XD fjdksla;f that's fair tbh, I would also laugh

[vegankhaleesi]

I don't have much to contribute except I'm in love with Harold Finch and Bodhi Rook c ya 8)

[rhythmsextion]

Damen and Ross need to hang again, damnit. Also, at some point, I really really want Sirius to be NOT Padfoot around him, lol.

Bodhi is precious and, while Freddie isn't great at DATING, he would totally take a shine to him, I think. Even if it wouldn't last, and it likely wouldn't because Freddie is the worst.

Also, I always want to throw mine at yours but I'm always scared. SO.

[kaiju_mittons]

AGREED! You should tag him into Ross's EP next month, PLS AND THANK. And jfkdl;safdsa yes, that would probably be preferable because Ross is just like, jfc when will my wife stop befriending stray dogs XD

Ooooooh. Ooh, yes, I like that. I definitely don't need anything to last for him and just to be clear, even if Bodhi gets his feelings hurt by Freddie being the worst, I WILL PERSONALLY LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT XD If there's a Cinco de Mayo thread, Bodhi will be drinking, I'm js, IT COULD GO PLACES.

WHY THO?????????????????????????????????????????????? For the record, I always want all the pups to be thrown at me! <3333333333

[wildefae]

I am so so so pleased that you're getting into acting/singing/dancing and plan to be the next triple threat on the big white way are having fun and feeling like yourself and achieving dreams, idk, my friends being happy just makes me chinhands every time :D :D :D

I literally never know how to engage any of your pups but they are all wonderful? And I would like to? But WHO?

Why are you so terrible to Reid ;__; Ok anyway, I don't know when this is happening but if/when my werewolf bb gets apped/accepted it'd be interesting/emotional if The Unsub is briefly suspected to be a werewolf. Although Luke might have already had things to say about that. I feel like you should post something about this in the comm, serial killings would totally blow up in a town like Darrow also I am weirdly invested in the "Darrow natives who are suspicious of Supers/immigrants" subculture that clearly exists

Lastly: DANCING DEMON. YES. LET'S DO THE THING.

[kaiju_mittons]

Ahahahaa, thank you! It's just one of those things I had to decide to just go for, and I'm glad I did. It's bringing me a lot of joy and it's connected me in different ways to different people now so I've definitely benefited a lot from it already.

LMAO well... literally anyone at any time? XD Even just the good ol' oops sorry I bumped into you~ trick works!

fjdksla;fdsa I think I've actually been VERY well-behaved with him, he's never been significantly hurt before! I mean, he got shot once but he was wearing a vest so it was totes fine~ In any case, Reid getting hurt is dated for this Sunday but in terms of actually catching the unsub, I don't have a specific date. Team No Machine will be involved somehow and if you'd like to work your pup into the plot, we can definitely find a way to make Potential Werewolf a plot point. And maybe I will post about it in comm, I just figured nobody would really care XD Good to know at least one person would!

YASSSSSSSSS, DARROW THE MUSICAL! I NEED IT!

[wildefae]

I'm so glad to hear that! :D It definitely makes me want to examine things I've dropped along the way to being a (not really actually) Practical Adult.

Haha, I will probably dump someone on one of yours at a coffee shop, then, or something; I intend to EP almost all of mine in May (Blue almost never needs it, but definitely the boys) so definitely feel free to throw any of yours at mine whenever :)

Lol perhaps I just have a "Reid = trauma" impression in my head between the show, and your Reid. And potentially Spencer back in SC, aw. You probably HAVE been good to him but Reid's such a magnet for tragedy in the show...poor bb. If my pup (aw, so appropriate!) gets accepted I'll definitely hit you up again. But yeah, I think News Items are a good thing to mention. Maybe we should add that to Digest or as a every-so-often thing so we can know what journalist pups have been covering and what people have been watching on TV. Like, what hashtags are people RTing about Darrow, what's on the front page. Etc. I say, as though you have control over that SHRUG

[rancho_weirdo]

I kind of want it to be a thing where Coop and Newt get stuck in places every once in awhile. This time elevator, in a month or so, a storage closet where the lock breaks off, after that, a jail cell accidentally.

Alec will welcome the help with the wedding! But he hopes Reid is well enough to be a groomsman too.

Ugh, I loved Harold and Dutch doing stuff we could do that more?

And uh IDK other things right now! But, if you have ideas, shoot them at me!

[kaiju_mittons]

fdsjakfl;sdja THIS IS AN AMAZING IDEA OMFG. I want all these things. A storage closet with one of those "hang in there" posters with the kitty. I'm cryin, what a gr8 friendship, just constantly almost having to eat each other.

If the wedding is in June, he'll be okay to stand up there with Alec! ANYTHING FOR ALEC. Idk exactly how bad I'm going to hurt him yet, I think it'll depend on my mood when that tag actually happens... XD but I kind of want him to have to walk around with a cane again bc he looks pimp af with one, sooooooo :D

YES, we absolutely can. I love their developing relationship. I'd like to have him like, open up to her about his ex-fiancee or something at some point, just because Reese is the only other one who knows about any of that in Darrow.

[best_thief]

Can Harold adopt all my pups?

[iwasmore]

Oh wait I do have something of possible substance to add: 500 years ago in Demelza's post Baz was very Concerned about the possibility of Ross being involved with Shenanigans since she sorta suspected him of infidelity. So he probably checked up on Ross privately just to make sure. This was kind of awhile ago, but idk if you want a thread with Baz finding him working on the house we could, or I could wait for May if you're waiting for May reqs! But anyway I promise I don't only love Harold and Bodhi, lol

[kaiju_mittons]

gURL, your 18 comments LMFAO i love it XD

But yes, we can def have Baz finding him working on the house. May is probably best, just since I don't want to get too overwhelmed with tags rn with the Bodhi and Barba debuts going on still, but I am def down for that thread!

Also yes, Harold can adopt your pups. I already want him to adopt Lila.

[iwasmore]

May is perf cause I'm also dying of tags, but at the same time WHERES MY SWEET SPACE BOYFRAND?

oh precious Harold light of my life and best dad :') ERIKA I KNOW THERE ARE A MILLION TAGS BUT ALSO WHAT IF LILA SAVED HAROLD FROM HATCHIMALS. It could be a baby thread where she just whisks him away and delivers him to Reese.

[kaiju_mittons]

I GAVE YOU SPACE BOYFRAND!!!!!!!!

And lmfaooo, JUST FOR YOU, I will tag Lila's top level with Harold XD

[best_thief]

THANK YOU I WISH I WAS COHERENT ENOUGH TO TAG BACK!!!!!!!!!! :D TOMORROW (it's 1:45am here ftr)

omg bless your sweet heart for indulging my obnoxious ass XDDDDD

[flareupwithlove]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I need all the Reid and Magnus threads. Additionally, Victra and Han? I'm afraid to throw her at Bodhi because she will be terrible.

[kaiju_mittons]

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We haven't threaded in a billion years! ;____; Magnus should come visit him when he's all jacked up or something.

And yes, good! Private thread at some point or maybe meet at the next gathering or something? You can still have her be terrible at Bodhi if you want, Victra would just then earn a nemesis in Jyn LMFAO :D

[flareupwithlove]

Next gathering? Only because I'm awful at thinking up things for characters to be doing in order for them to meet.

I might tag the Bohdz then too!!

[kaiju_mittons]

LMAOOOO same, I'm always sending them off for coffee XD So YES, gathering is perf!

[nobleplatypus]

I just wanted to say I am loving my Daine threads with Harold and Rafael. ~*~*~*~MAGIC~*~*~*~

[kaiju_mittons]

I'm so gladdddd, I'm loving them, too! Harold is taking the magic thing a lot better, but he's also been in Darrow much longer XD SORRY ABOUT RAFAEL, DAINE~~~~~

[ssrsousa]

I think Daniel needs to meet Barba on account of his PB being a terrible terrible person on SVU.

And also eventually, he should probably meet Harold, because Peggy's trying to pull Daniel into the PoI group.

And I volunteer anyone for a date or just friendship with Bodhi, because he's the cutest.

[kaiju_mittons]

Oh my gosh, I actually just recently watched his episode but need to re-watch bc I was half asleep. They should totally thread, just so Barba can be pressed as hell XD

And okay, good to know hahaha yes, they should definitely meet if that's the case.

And I meannnnn, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO DATE THIS PRECIOUS FLOWER???? XD One of yours should meet him at randomly at some point and we can see what stems from it! I'll probably throw him a top-level at the next gathering or something!
