Knowing that Marcus brought progress with the Android to a halt with his fucking shenanigans which in turn kept James from the love of his life and family for an extra year is going to hurt so bad once we get back to the main storyline. I would hate to find out that James was cleared to go home but after Marcus’s screw up, he wasn’t able to. I just know James’s partner is in so much pain.

James carries so much pride in his ability to be detached and unemotional in order to make the difficult, but necessary choices at work. It's neat to see that underneath it all - especially when he's with his person - he feels so much that he fears it would be overwhelming.

SO interesting to see James out of "work mode." I have been dying to learn more about him, and I'm loving this glimpse into what motivates him. Knowing that through everything we've seen of him so far, he has a partner waiting for him at home? Devastating. I love him. 😭 I'm feeling very normal about the line, "On the jobs, my powers are a tool. That's it. But with you - *only with you* - they're something else. They're a bond. They're a link. They're home. *You* are home." 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Cutie needs to take notes on what a healthy relationship with a telepath can look like./j I can't wait to learn more about this listener, too. They clearly know about James' powers, but are they unempowered? How long have they been together? *How did they meet?* I have SO MANY questions about Project Meridian and what it's all going to culminate into, too. If the stakes are really as high as James says they are, I wonder if it's all going to ramp up to like, an Inversion-level event, and which of the other storylines are going to interact with it. I would die for James and I am full of fear for what this series is going to bring when it continues and when we FINALLY learn what the Project Meridian actually is 😂

Timestamps: 0:46 - James and his partner had an argument about him leaving for this job, but he has to go either way 3:46 - Carson? 4:02 - "I have given up so many years of my life to the department. To trying to fix things. Being the person that they fall back on because I'll make the choices that other people can't make." 7:18 - James showing his partner the contract stating this is his "one last job" - Why does it sound like he's not gonna be able to come back afterwards though oh god 14:28 - Listener asking James to go in their mind 16:14 - James pulling away from their mind because he knows his thoughts can be overwhelming like this - Also I'm assuming that since we didn't hear a sound effect when James pulled in/out of their mind, his listener might be unempowered 19:26 - "On the jobs, my powers are a tool. That's it. With you, _[only with you]_ they're something else. _[They're a bond. They're a link. They're home. You are home. You deserve better than me.]"_

James watching Marcus get it on with the Meridian’s salvation and thinking of what he left behind to get there must have been having a super splendid time. HA Makes me very curious as to what other hard decisions he has made in previous projects, to have proven himself so valuable to the Department at a relatively young age? What kind of messes was he cleaning up? If anyone can empathize with kind of burden David was under last year, maybe it’s James. But I’m glad that he does have someone in his corner back home, who he can be vulnerable with. That’s really fuckin’ sweet.

The security he gives his listener after he lets them understand why he values what he's doing and why the last job is so important WHILST understanding why they're upset and why it's important to them just warms my heart and just tackles my feels. This does leave me with so many questions regarding(when does anything on this channel ever not tho?)what exactly is going to happen to James in the future especially regarding the Imperium implications of the meridian and the what exactly that means for his partner (yes, I will be drawing a lot this, my sketchbook stays full from these audios, that's never in doubt). It also just leaves me excitedly anticipating the future of project meridian as a whole and I am damn well pumped to see how it all plays out and connects together. Amazing job in writing, recording and editing as per usual and I hope you have a great day/night Erik!

It also shows how different James and Cutie are when it comes to how responsible they are with their abilities. James knows his power could potentially be overwhelming and doesn't want to hurt his partner, meanwhile Cutie lacks trust and doesn't see the problem with doing it all the time cause they're used to doing it that way. Great video!

@FrenchieSounds10 ай бұрын
I keep coming back to this one. This pair of characters just has an added layer of maturity and you can feel how 'lived-in' the relationship is compared to some of the other, newer ones on the channel. It's just bonkers how this is about a telepath saying goodbye to his spouse before he goes off to supervise a secret magical government robot project and yet it feels soooooo real and natural. I think there's also the fact that there's a bittersweetness in this one that we don't always see in boyfriend RP. He's *not* the perfect guy. He's made mistakes, and he's even admitting that this isn't the first time he's said he's sorry. Finally, I just think it's a testament to the writing and performance that, at the time this one was released, none of the actual lore in this was really a reveal. We already knew that James was a telepath. We already know about how important Project Meridian is. So the stakes are clear, but it still felt like it was unfolding in real time for the listener character. Bravo. Again.
