I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so

You Fascinate Me So, Blossom Dearie

...And a reblog with a couple detail shots, as a treat. 🖤

Anyway, Tech and Phee would (will) be that hyper-competent adventure couple who would also absolutely awaken the ancient horrors on purpose on a bi-monthly basis.

Okay but about these tags:

#he decides the best way to avoid being cooked alive
#is to blow up the venator engine while they’re all inside

I am NEVER EVER going to be over this NOT EVER. Yes, getting the Marauder impounded on purpose was wild, yes so was 'let's ride the lizards to safety', but like, the absolute pinnacle of Tech Solutions is still from Reunion: we can solve the problem of being incinerated in the exhaust nozzle or shot by Crosshair by introducing a third, worse option, which is blowing the exhaust nozzle cone off the combustion chamber thus allowing everyone ELSE to deal with the engine while we ride to our possible though not 100% guaranteed doom and maybe, if we live, escape in the ensuing chaos.

Omega, hearing this plan: And FALL. All the way DOWN??!??

And these tags:

#how does anyone expect me to think #this man is dead from ‘falling off a thing’ #are we for real with that because

Yep. This show is (at least) 0/2 for big dramatic falls killing main characters. Falling with that engine could have and maybe should have killed them—it’s like falling with an elevator when its cables get cut on the fifteenth floor. Besides everything else *gestures vaguely at the combination of storytelling conventions, foreshadowing, Tech’s demonstrated history of hitting long odds, and vague cast and crew statements* you can’t expect me to believe that Tech died in a fall when that has never done any serious harm to a single main character on the show.

Edit: Wait, I also just remembered about that time Omega was in an escape pod that failed and fell into the clouds above *mumble whatever the name of the planet in ‘Bounty Lost’ is mumble* but was fine because something turned up to catch the pod. So. 0/3 for on screen dramatic falls killing any of our mains.

This just all expands on why I don’t get it when people want to claim anyone questioning his death is 'delusional’. Like, how? The show has only ever displayed death of someone consequential as happening face to face, visceral, direct, obvious, plain. But this time it’s all different? Sounds fake but okay.

I want to do with you what new spring does with the cherry trees. (x x)

I love that one exchange in “Entombed” that’s basically like:

Tech: If removing the heart of the mountain activated it, then perhaps we must return it to its proper place to deactivate it.

Tech:*bats his big brown eyes at her*

Phee, internally: *oh shit*

Phee, externally: Do you know how much this is worth?? It’s what we came for!

Phee like 'UGH it's not fair he can just look at me like that and I do whatever crazy ass thing he suggests'.

Yyeeesss.

I’d like to think it works in reverse, too.

Phee: You ever heard the legend of the treasure of Keel Darr? Pretty big haul there. Interesting ruins, undeciphered scripts, gorgeous seaside country…

Tech: It sounds perfect, but Echo might need us for a mission and I am not sure right now is the best time to—

Phee: ✨✨✨It’ll be fuuuuuunn and we can use the profits to help people✨✨✨ *bats HER big brown eyes at him*

Tech: So when do we leave?

Echo: …you what?

Tech: I am going to Keel Darr, it will be at least three rotations, so I will not be in time for the mission.

Echo: What the fuck is on Keel Darr.

Hunter: Yeah, what IS on Keel Darr?

Tech: Well, there are ruins, interesting species, some items which could be sold or traded for–

Crosshair, who is not fooled: *Phee* is on Keel Darr.

Hunter and Echo: …

Tech: She is NOT on Keel Darr. Not yet. But, she will be. And–

HES BACK
