Techie was startled out of his light doze by the soft sobs and the shaking of her thin shoulders. “I’m still here, Nao. We’re safe. Don’t be scared,” he says reassuringly, voice a little raspy from sleep. It takes him a moment to regain full consciousness, but once he’s alert once more, Techie keeps holding her safely against his chest and lets her get it all out of her system.

“S’good to cry. You’ll f-feel better after, I promise.” He recalls Tommy sobbing when he said he had to leave, and how their parting hug felt too short despite that neither wanted to let go. In this moment, Naomi needs to not be let go, no matter what. Techie gets the feeling that she’s been “let go” too many times before.

Hi, Mattie… There’s something I want to ask you.

ask-matttheradartechnician:

Matt looked up from the thing he had been working on.
“ sure techie you can ask me anything. You know that.”

Techie has no qualms with taking the reigns and leaning forward for another kiss. He slots their lips together and runs his own smoothly over Matt’s, soft breaths through his nose tickling Matt’s skin. When he tilts his head the smallest bit, the tip of Techie’s tongue pokes out to swipe teasingly at Matt’s bottom lip.

This is heaven. Techie’s sure of it.

His arms wrap around Matt’s neck as he tries to get them as close as possible. This craving for him is impossible to satisfy, but the kiss is a start.

When they pull apart for air, Techie sighs dreamily, “Matt…”

>Foxglove speaking< How are your wounds? Do you need anything?

techiehux:

“Hi, F-Foxglove!” Techie looked up from the greenhouse’s rows of crops, stopping to wipe at his nose and managing to get dirt on his face. Months of working amongst nature with his new gang had given his cheeks a rosy glow, and he’d even managed to put on enough weight to form a little pouch over his tummy, no longer skin and bones.
“I’m d-doing a lot better. I owe you my l-life,” he smiled.

Techie tried very hard to focus on anything other than what she was going to do with all those medical tools. It made him uneasy to remember the cold, unyielding metal under his back as he’d screamed and screamed for help all the while… Nobody had come.

“Th-they’re good to me, Foxglove. Really!” He pauses for a moment too long after reassuring her of this fact. Damn. He’d given himself away. With a grimace and a sigh, Techie admits, “Well, I do get some trouble. B-But only a little, nothing to worry about!” Is he trying to convince Foxglove or himself? It’s unclear even to him.

Breathtaking Wire Sculptures Capture the Fluidity of the Human Body

English artist Richard Stainthorp captures the beautiful energy and fluidity of the human body using wire. The life-sized sculptures feature both figures in motion and at rest, expressed in the form of large-gauged strands that are densely wrapped around and through one another. By doing this, he gives the work an undeniable presence. Stainthorp also allows the bent wires to shine by keeping their metallic appearance free from any obvious painting or additions.

Listen Up: It’s PSA Time, Y’all

Gather ‘round, troopers with vajoopers. Ladies, gents, and anyone else who has a vajayjay needs to come listen to Stevey real quick.

Remember I said I was testing someone for strep?
Yep. Positive.
But that’s not what we’re here for.

See, I prescribed her some antibiotics to fix the problem, but she told me the last guy that ran the medbay gave her those once and she got a killer yeast infection.
THAT GUY WAS A DOUCHE WHO FAILED TO GIVE HER SOME VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
(Deej is reading over my shoulder and nodding. She knows what I’m about to tell you.)

I’m just a medic, not a doctor, but I’ve read enough books to know that antibiotics do some weird sciency shit to the pH levels in your sarlacc pit, but all you need to counteract the evil is…

YOGURT.

Seriously. Eat it. Shovel it into your mouth hole. Gobs of it. It’ll help you stay healthy and it will taste delightful topped with granola.

You are an integral part of the First Order, and you cannot serve your Supreme Leader effectively with the fires of Mustafar burning in your nether regions. Also, it’s just cruel to let someone suffer something so easily preventable. You deal with enough shit around here as it is.

Take care of yourselves.

Stevey out.
