Assign an aspect of nature to prev

Waves at the beach

Rushing breeze through leaves

A crack of thunder

Flow of a river

The shine of a gem

Dancing embers of a flame

Torrential rain

Slow falling snow

An emerald sea of grass

Austere cliffside

A maze of roots

The endless oceans

Collecting sesame oil.

(No, the sediment at the bottom isn't sesame paste. It's waste and quite bitter, and it'll likely be used as fertiliser later.)

the other buzziest thing about buddie to me is how badly they want to take care of each other. buck is running through the hospital because eddie is hurt. he is making sure chris is taken care of because he knows that is what eddie would want. he is freaking out when he finds out eddie visited a cardiologist and didn't tell him about it. he is breaking down locked doors when chris calls to tell him something is wrong. he is rubbing eddie's shoulder during one of the worst moments of eddie's life. meanwhile, eddie keeps showing up at buck's door with food he doesn't even like that much because he is worried and he knows buck and chris love pineapple on pizza. he is sitting by buck's bedside, never straying far, giving buck medicine and water. he is reminding buck that ice goes on the eye and that he doesn't have to be anything for anyone. he knows when buck needs to come to him, and he gives him the space to do that. they want to take care of each other so badly. all the time. they are each other's safe spaces, the place they go when they are hurt or tired or scared. they choose each other and their family again and again and again. they are each other's person.

Sorry suddenly thinking about the ramifications of aroace-spec tashiro… classic example of someone who always wanted to fall in love and thought they would some day but realizing they can’t. At least not in the same way they thought they would. Versus potentially hanzawa masato who had resigned himself to never feeling love (not like he necessarily wanted to) and suddenly being struck by lightning. Or a meteor. Or god. And they both end up in this weird gray zone between romance and friendship. There’s something here.

[sunnnfish]

relevant to recent vague aro tashiro allegations ☝️ i have always operated under this btw

[aranarumei]

adding a link for some extra context: here’s the lightning meteor god post. you may also know this as what started @dirtbra1n’s acclaimed (by me) river series
