Instead of "things are awkward because there's only one bed", what if it's "it's weird how NOT awkward it is that there's only one bed." Buck and Eddie have been competing all day. They're tired and sore and giddy and satisfied from a job well done. They've both showered and washed their faces and brushed their teeth. They climb into fresh, crisp hotel sheets and roll toward each other and prop their heads on their hands, because they still have debriefing to do. "Did you see when I...?" "That was so fucking cool when..." "I can't believe you almost..." And Eddie keeps reaching across the space and knocking Buck's shoulder with his knuckles, or jabbing a finger into his ribs. And Buck can't stop smiling, his face sore as the rest of him, and when Eddie retells the story of how Buck almost tripped over his own bambi legs and ended up half-tangled in the firehose, Buck groans and drops his head to Eddie's shoulder, and Eddie's big hand lands on the back of his neck and squeezes. "You recovered though," Eddie says, and Buck somehow manages to smile even wider. And eventually their stories kind of fizzle out, and Eddie says he's beat and they both need to sleep, and Buck says okay. So Eddie rolls over and turns off the light, and then he rolls back and says, "Good night, Buck," and kisses him. Just a peck, right on the mouth, like it's something they do every day. Because it felt like something they SHOULD be doing every day; it felt so comfortable and warm and right. And Buck says, "Oh." And Eddie says, "Um." And Buck says, "You don't..." But before he can finish the sentence, Eddie leans in again, kisses him with intent this time, a kiss that's comfortable and warm and right. Like it's something they do every day.

what’s waiting out there | PART TWELVE

“Tommy wants us to stop sleeping together,” Buck says, annoyed. Eddie pulls a face. “You told him that’s not gonna fucking happen, right?” “I mean, of course I did,” says Buck. “Quick question,” says Chim, “what the hell?” “Huh?” says Buck. “Since when are you two sleeping together?” Hen asks. “I don’t know,” says Eddie. “Since always? More lately, obviously.” “What?” Hen and Chim say in unison. Buck runs over the conversation in his head. Then – “Oh! No, not like that. We sleep together, you know?” “Uh, no?” Chim says. “Like,” Eddie offers, “in the same bed.” “That’s typically how it’s done,” says Hen.

I did NOT think I was going to get this chapter done before s9 started airing but I made it!!!

This chapter officially takes WWOT over 100k words which is. wow???? wow. thank you to everybody who's been reading for keeping me motivated to power through!!

the last chapter, chapter 13, i am expecting to take a little longer. between the start of s9 probably serving as a distraction and the fact that i have a strong gut feeling that this one will be long. but i am so, so excited to share the end of this story with all of you!!! so keep your eyes peeled and enjoy chapter 12!!!!

Esse post me define muito. Em 2018, chorei quando esse escárnio de "presidente" foi eleito. Mas, a esperança e a justiça sempre prevalecem.

A luta por um país justo e democrático não foi em vão. Hoje, a justiça se impôs contra os abusos e a negligência. Bolsonaro condenado: vitória da democracia. 🇧🇷

Justiça por vocês ⚖️, tantas vidas perdidas 😪

The funny thing about Tim Minear is it feels like he is constantly leaving breadcrumbs for story lines to follow up on later, and then he watches some shitty 70's movie and scraps the stuff he's been building up to for the fucking Vertigo Arc or the Apocalypse Now helicopter chase and I'm just thinking with all that Disney/ABC money they could 1. Actually require him to write with enough time for an editor to look at it and 2. actually hire a writing editor to make him actually follow through on his story lines.

dear lord, please take all life problems and responsibilities away from fanfic writers but also make them financially stable and happy with nothing to worry about so they can happily focus on writing and posting fanfiction. amen

Percy Jackson but Hestia has a cabin. that is where the unclaimed go because she goddess of home and family. Demigods get claimed faster because when they show up Hestia glares at her siblings, nieces and nephews untill they claim them.

THANK YOU. She's also specifically the patroness of bureaucracy in that, because she was the goddess of the hearth, home, and civilization, civil servants answered directly to her and ran cities and provinces specifically in her name. all government centers were dedicated to hestia. so like, hestia's adopted kids ought to be running Camp Halfblood. It's bonkers that she's not involved with it.

if you only want to write smutty drabbles, write smutty drabbles. if you don't want to write smut at all, don't write smut. if you want to write tropes that have been written 85838593929 times, write them. if you've already written a specific trope and want to write it again, do it. if you want to write for a character but feel like there's no demand for that character, do it anyway. don't feel pressured to reach a certain word count, don't feel pressured to stick to a posting schedule. you're literally doing this for FREE, in your free time. whatever YOU want your writing/fanfiction experience to be is valid - it doesn't have to be like everyone else's, and you don't have to cater to what you think people want 🫶🏻

Friends, we are there. We are at that point. ICE is abducting people off the streets and sending them to concentration camps in El Salvador. That is happening. Trump has said that he’d “love” to send the “homegrowns” to these prisons and told the president of El Salvador to build 5 more. Kilmar Abrego Garcia was kidnapped due to an "administrative error" and the Republican regime is refusing to bring him home, even though the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that they must. A US citizen from Georgia was arrested in Florida for being an "unauthorized alien" and they refused to release him, even as his mother waved his birth certificate in their faces. (I just learned while making this post that he has now been released and reunited with his family, thank fucking god.) A hundred other horrors have happened that we don't even know about.

No one is coming to save us. We have to save us.

Please, please, please find a (peaceful!) protest this Saturday and attend if you are able. There are also protests planned for May 1. And, frankly, there should be protests every single day, but we have to build momentum and community for that. So let's start.

If you can’t attend a protest, please consider taking another form of action. I was depressed on the train this morning and brainstormed a very incomplete and unofficial list of Things You Can Do:

Print posters advertising the protests and put them up around your neighborhood, your school, your apartment mail room, public restrooms, anywhere.

Spread the word on social media, yes, but also text your family and friends and ask if they know about the 4/19 and 5/1 protests. This date is not getting the same publicity as 4/5 and people are reporting social media posts being suppressed. Direct communication is the most effective.

Call your representatives. The 5 Calls app makes it extremely easy, even if you have phone anxiety. If your reps, like mine, mostly have their voicemails shut down, email them instead. Resistbot makes it super simple. I know it feels like screaming into the void, but it does have an impact. And even if it turns out it doesn’t, it takes 2 minutes. Do it out of spite. Just do it.

Stop buying anything that’s not absolutely essential and start preparing yourself for a general strike. I don’t know that we will get enough of the population on board to do this, but it is our best hope, and each person that is prepared for it makes the reality of it happening a little more likely. If you can, aim to have food and supplies stocked for a few weeks. If you have the means, be extra prepared to help your neighbors. Talk to your friends about this. Start strategizing.

(Also, a note on that general strike website: I'm sharing it for info, but I know a lot of people don't want to sign their name to a strike card. I get it. You don't have to sign up for anything to get prepared for a strike. You don't have to sign up for anything to stop giving your money to this economy. You don't have to sign up for anything to strike, when the day comes. You don't even have to tell anyone. You can just do it.)

If you are financially able, donate to your local food pantry or mutual aid network. The Republican Regime is cutting funding to the food banks in advance of an economic crisis. We are only as strong as the most vulnerable among us. Help your neighbors! A general strike cannot happen without community solidarity. Start building that solidarity now.

Cancel any subscription you can. Especially Amazon. Fuck Amazon. And Target, and Walmart.

If you have to buy something, buy local. Support your community as much as possible. And hey, it's almost farmers market season, hell yeah!

Mask up!!! Do not throw disabled people under the bus in this movement. Wear a mask. It protects the most vulnerable among us, and it protects you. Not just from disease, but also facial recognition technology. And, you know, RFK Jr.

Stay alive. I am sure I’m not the only one who has plunged to new depths of despair over the past few months. Find something to cling to, even if it’s only spite (some days, that’s all I have). Please stay alive. We need you.

DO NOT GIVE INTO THE FEAR OF BEING CRINGE. Taking action in the face of fascism is cool as fuck and anyone who tells you otherwise is trapped in a prison of their own making and they will bring us all down. Do not get distracted by moral purity tests. Do not be afraid, do not be embarrassed. BE CRINGE, BE FREE.

And finally, most importantly, do not let perfect be the enemy of good. We can all only do the best we can under this oppressive capitalist hellscape we’re forced to endure. We're all struggling, we're all tired, we're all scared. Do not guilt yourself into despair and apathy if you have to buy groceries at a big box store or if you can't take off work for a protest because you'll lose your job/house/healthcare. This is the system. This is how it's designed. The important thing is to try. If you can't do one thing, find something else you can do. Little acts add up, and we are all in this together.* As my dad likes to remind me, no one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

Let's do something. <3
