Things That Make Me Happy:

Fic hunting

Hi,

Does anyone have any links to fics about Law and Order Organized Crime, which follow the feelings/thoughts/relationship between Eli and Elliot after the end of the latest episode?

Or just fics that explore their relationship throughout the series. I’d love to know what Eli’s motivations were for joining the police force, as, since S1, he has been annoyed/upset by his dad always having to leave for work or answer the phone during family events, not seeing him for weeks on end when he is undercover and really not seeming to understand just how much danger his dad is in when he is on the job.

I actually think S1 Eli ( aged about 15-ish) was more patient/understanding about his dad’s job than he was at the end of S4! Also seeing Elliot’s thought process/feelings about the whole thing would be interesting, as he loves his son and wants to support him but does,’t want him to get injured ( or worse) and I think he was pretty hurt that Eli didn’t confide in him about dropping out of college, expecting a baby and signing up to the police force.

There must be some fics out there, I just haven’t found them yet!

hello my fellow hufflepuff 💛 i’m here to give you those d9 thoughts! i love yapping abt them so thanks for giving me the chance!

i agree!! they should absolutely be stronger contenders than what were shown. they should at least be on par with 11 since they’re similar industries. the only thing i can think of it a difference in culture, maybe? the people on 9 tend to be more adverse to violence and sort of…accept their fate?

i do think it’s a big district land wise and things are probably pretty spread out due to the farmland! population wise, i think you could make an argument that it’s big due to the industry being similar to 11. however, i actually lean towards it being one of the smaller districts.

i think that because of the location of district 9- based on the map of panem we have, district 9 would be in nebraska & the dakotas (though i think the majority is more nebraska). the dakotas are both in the list of the 10 least populated states and nebraska isn’t that far behind.

do you have any thoughts on 9?

I would be inclined to agree with you, that it is a big District in size but not very populated. Bigger than 12, for sure. They are also not as poor as D12. If each District is assigned a colour that stays the same every year for their tributes, I think 9’s colour would be yellow. I also think 9 fly under the radar a bit, they are generally hard-working and don’t cause trouble. I think the food-based Districts have to meet certain quotas so I think as long as they are made, they get fairly well fed. Maybe they have harvest festivals with necklaces and bracelets made from wheat stalks and adorned with salt dough flowers and have songs and dances they perform then.

Reblog if I can go on your page and write stupid things in your ask box whenever I'd like to.

I’m so lonely yes please

I am orange 🍊 and blueberry 🫐!

@hotchley​ @themetaphorgirl​ @ssa-sarahsunshine​ @uncpanda​

i enjoy similar posts so here is my attempt at one 🌹 tag yourself as a fruit! (apologies if your favourite fruit isn’t on this inevitably incomplete list; i’m capping it at 6.) (you can also tag your friends or ocs for fun.)

pomegranate: opulence, red, calloused hands, scheherazade telling stories for a thousand and one nights, poetry about roses, long eyelashes, wry grins, a past you never talk about, secrets dying in your throat every time you think of sharing them.

fig: calm, measured, the voice of sense, seems tall even if they aren’t, a wearer of creams and ivories and beiges, the chime of hidden bells of mischief in their thoughtful voice, uncanny looks like they see what you’re hiding.

cherry: bright-eyed, silver anklets merry in their noise, painted nails, friendship bracelets, eagerly sharing what they love with their friends, knowing and fond looks, distance when you least expect it, capriciousness, unwitting flirts, finds pleasure in astrology and tarot, dancing.

orange: generous, unexpected, a mind connected to other planes, distracted wandering eyes, musing slow lovely voice, unexpected talents, sturdy shoes, a hand offered to any who trip, a listener to any who hurt, a bearer of others’ sorrows.

blueberry: thinks aloud, luxury-loving, cozy socks, the feel of cotton and the smell of rain, putting others first, putting others at ease, raised eyebrows, the kind who carefully listens to others’ song and book recs and then tells them their thoughts, a world-centric thinker.

mango: always marching sunwards and lifting everyone around them up too, stunningly brave, bright-eyed, proud in a likeable and endearing way, the type to ruffle others’ hair, good with first aid, bossy in an affectionate kindly way, soft spot for romantic stories.

Naughty Elephants Squirt Water!

i think my saddest moment as an Australian was finding out that the rest of the world doesn’t say “never eat soggy weetbix” to figure out the order of the compass

19) clouds ☁️: being with my cousins in a big mansion, we find a treasure chest after much exploring, I wake up just as it’s being opened-had that one several times throughout my childhood!

20) velvet: TV/film/animated crush: Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid ( I still like tall, dark-haired and blue-eyed guys who have a sense of humour and like animals).

Is there a specific episode/moment that made you fall in love with Carisi?

I loved how good with the kids he was with the ultra-Christian vlogging family, how he didn’t judge his sister for considering an abortion when her partner was in and out of her life, how respectful he was of everyone when he joined the team ( always using their rank, taking on board their constructive criticism/feedback and letting them take the lead, while also managing to get himself opportunities to try to do things without help, volunteering for the boring/tedious jobs, making sure everyone on the team was included in social events and inviting people who were having a hard/sad/bad time to join him or others for socialising/food). How he cares for Amanda throughout her pregnancy with Jesse and once she has given birth… So lots of little things from the start ( he arrives with zeppole, which was a nice touch for a guy who shows his affection for those he loves by providing foid for them) that all added up over time. Also Liv asking him to be Noah’s guideparent after only knowing him a year or so says a lot about his character. If Liv or Fin think the person is a good one/innocent, they are usually right, so that also helped consolidate my feelings for him. He’s just a kind, funny, hard-working family man who talks about his feelings and dreams.

Evidently, losing the god awful moustache helped a lot too!
