I literally BSOD'ed for several minutes when I heard about Robin Williams yesterday, so we're not addressing that.
Instead,
niqaeli,
here's that Hermann/Newt post-Drift identity fuckery OMG what is coping why do I have strong feelings about Descartes all of a sudden fic I mentioned at supper Friday.
Did not see last night's Major Crimes due to early (for me) dental appointment this morning. Saw last week's however.
Ricky's kind of a dick, and I'm trying to convince myself it's a normal reaction to one's mom up and adopting a former teen prostitute because Reasons which may or may not be known. I'm also trying to convince myself that a normal person like Ricky seems to be would react to Sharon's wounded mama bear routine the way he did, by instantly about-facing. I'm terribly glad she called him on his shit, however. The difference between the way she treats Ricky and the way she treats Rusty is striking, and I don't know how I feel about it. I think maybe it's because she knows if she went all cooing and smiley at Rusty he'd run away. She's much more labile with Ricky.
I can kind of see where Ricky's coming from, though. I mean, when he and Emily were growing up, they had to scrape by on Sharon's cop salary, but now, for this kid she's talking about going after Jack-off for back child support? Really? WTH, Mom. The dumb hustler is the hill you're going to die on?
Okay, now I'm going to go stick my head back in the sand of Harry Potter meta until the world stops feeling so broken and sideways and goes back to being okay again (it will never be entirely okay again is this what it was like the day after John Lennon was shot?)
