Colin Bridgerton...

Writes with his left hand

He drinks with his left hand

He toasts with his left hand

He drinks his English Breakfast tea with his left hand (moodily)

He twirl his gal with his left hand

He-... ah.

Well, he's ambidextrous? 😉

*peeks open one eye* well, that looks vaguely interesting after I've been mildly entertained for the last few eps.

And, yes, I do mean the last few eps. The previous ep was just okay for me 🤷‍♀️

NGL, I'm a tiny bit scared!🫣

However, they both look really good in this clip.😍 And Lucy is finally getting her much deserved promotion 🎊🎉🥳

fic: you’re one of the few things that i’m sure of (2/2)

title: you’re one of the few things that i’m sure of, part 2/2. here on AO3

rating: teen, because there are some mild allusions

warnings: none, but you may need to see the dentist after you read this

a/n: this is 1000% the fault of @farfarawaygirl but, @onlyforchenford also encouraged this.  If you must blame someone, blame them.  Me?  I am blameless, but a tool in the hands of these demanding masters.  (this is the original video that inspired the fic.)

Title is from J.P. Saxe’s The Few Things

Summary: Tim struggles with being in Metro for the exact same reasons Hicks’ wanted out.  Lucy understands, she’s a cop too, but Tim wishes he could be there all the time, every time, anyway.  Well, he’s always been a show you kind of guy, hasn’t he?  Tim shows Lucy and shows up for Lucy.  In chapter two, Tim finds his courage, Lucy responds appropriately, and there’s a happy ending.

Okay, now you may go. Now I don't want to leave

[starjumpingpanda]

Nice. Nice. Nice.

But, honestly, I'm just so bored.

I'm looking forward to the hiatus.

Thank the gods for fanfic!

P.S. Go watch this, but AFTER you read the chapter

LOVE THIS! 📷🔥😍

[starjumpingpanda]

There are some that are not loving the way Chenford is going.

There are some that are happy with everything.

There are some that are happy with some things, but not all.

In the same way there shouldn't be calls to halt all that positivity and love, people! There shouldn't be calls to silence the critics.

If everyone loved the same thing then there wouldn't be so many ways to order a coffee.

I like a lot of cream and sugar, you might like an espresso. Is either way of drinking coffee wrong? No.

People's tumblr is their own tumblr, not yours. Reblog the happy, reblog the critics, reblog a bit of both. It's all good (or bad... ummm.)

That's my take on it.

And now I'm hankering for a latte...

[starjumpingpanda]

Yeah... I dunno.

It wasn't MEH meh.

I feel like I ordered a coffee and got coffee.

But I feel like I wanted a hot coffee and got one that was lukewarm.

The writers could be writing the absolute shiitake mushrooms out of Chenford, and some of the scenes make nice gif sets, but I feel that it's just lacking SOMETHING, for me.

The writers have been pining to write Chenford for 5 seasons, and this is the best they can come up with? There are people who bingewatch The Rookie in like a week and write better fanfiction than this.

I said what I said.

And, like Lucy, I didn't stutter.

[gleamyhs]

need the rest of season 5 to not just be all shits and giggles like I need more serious plot lines, I’m so fed up with this show trying to be comedic like it’s just not doing it for me man 😐

[starjumpingpanda]

The Rookie writers room:

Backstory? Pah!

Lucy was trapped in a barrel? Yeah, let's just put in a line about escape rooms, no one will remember.

There is a DOD tattoo? Eeeeek! Too dark and twisty for us now!

Can anyone remember when Tim got shot? Yeah, let's just say it was on Lucy's first day, no one remembers S1 anyhow.

Now, who can think of a way to make meth labs funny...

[communicationnskills]

Sometimes I think the show forgets that Lucy was like... kidnapped by a serial killer and buried alive, and died? And that her best friend that she lived with got murdered? And that her parents don’t approve of her career or life choices so she doesn’t even technically have blood family around? And that she’s also been through like a hundred other things that never get brought up again? Yeah, I think about this a lot

[starjumpingpanda]

I really think the writers and show runner think that backstory bothers casual viewers...

There's that, and the fact they think that Tim was shot on Lucy's first day as a rookie. So, ya know, backstory for the show you actually write for is tough, people (but not tough for the fan fic writers that don't actually get paid for writing rookie content) *sigh*

[starjumpingpanda]

Thought Metro!Tim's office could use another poster about believing... 😉🤪

Nothing against Patrol, but…Metro is a different beast. aka introducing Metro!Tim
