I keep mentioning Hickory and Dickory travelling by cart but have neglected to actually show whatever's pulling that cart anyway this is Ziege. Probably hails from the same mountain environment as the brothers, was probably named by Dickory because he's just as creative at naming things as his parents were. They're good at emotional support and have mixed feelings on Rhonda when she finally shows up. We're all going to pretend they've been here this whole time.

talk to me about the bucktommy invisible string theory, if you please 🎤

Okay hear me out. Without Tommy? Buck would not be where he is now, and so much of the 118 falls apart without him:

Tommy starts at the 118 closeted and desperate to hide it so he follows along with the boys club

Howie arrives and starts chipping away at that by trying to become actual friends with his team mates

Tommy only decides to open up after Howie stuck his neck out to save Tommy's life from that retail explosion. This is the start of his separation from the boys club mentality

Hen joins the 118 and Tommy sees how quickly Gerrard shits on her (his look when Gerrard calls Hen the "latest diversity hire" is almost sheer disgust, hidden fairly quickly) despite Hen proving that she is just as smart and capable as anyone else on the job

Hen's "I see you" speech is his catalyst; he files complaints against Captain Gerrard, contributing to Gerrard being fired and Bobby being instated as captain

The boys club is almost done with anyway, but Tommy's done playing with that mindset. He befriends Hen and Howie.

He is personally present to witness the shift in dynamic happening once again when Bobby instates family dinners as a 118 tradition

When he eventually leaves to join Harbour, he leaves a gap in the 118 A-shift to be filled by none other than Evan Buckley, probie.

If Chim hadn't saved Tommy's life: Tommy wouldn't have started to pull back from the boys club, or really understood the issues with Gerrard's captaincy.

If Tommy hadn't reported Gerrard: Bobby wouldn't have become captain.

If Tommy had stayed at the 118: there'd be no room for Buck.

If Tommy hadn't befriended Hen and Chim: Buck never would've met Tommy.

Tommy Kinard is the linchpin holding it all in place. If just one single decision had been changed, everything would be different. Buck is where he is, with the family he's found, because of Tommy Kinard. And he can't see it. Tommy can't see the bigger picture, the opportunities he created with his seemingly small actions. And Buck is exactly the same way.

Their paths were always meant to cross. They were always meant to know each other, to fall in love. Because without even knowing it, Tommy has always been making a space for Evan. And just like with their first date, it turns out that Tommy stepping away is exactly what Buck needed in order to step forward.

I guess if you really want to go in on the metaphor: Buck's been following the pull of this invisible string for a long time, following Tommy from such a distance that he can't see the other end of the string yet, can't see who he's following. He just knows he's searching for something. For someone. And then the pull slacked once Buck got to the 118. The tether relaxed when they both stood still, when they both found the right places to wait. And one act of loyalty and courage from a friend years ago echoed along the string to pull them closer together, until they were standing in the same place.

By a helicopter on an airfield, preparing to fly out into literally unknown waters, the string pulled them in tight and said: "There he is. He's what you've been looking for, what youve been waiting for. Go get him."

Or something like that.

TW: non-consentual body modification

Hyperlaser was nerfed by Blackrock. His original gear function was an insta-kill, but his superiors feared what he could do with that power.

So they changed his gear, dissected it and messed with the inner workings to severely reduce the gear's function. By that I mean they stabbed the panels that concentrate power with a screwdriver.

Due to the rather... uncivilized way they went about it, Hyperlaser had chronic pain for YEARS before the fire.

Speaking of the fire, his gear was severely damaged in it. The interior workings are extremely heat-sensitive, and were severely damaged. An actual licensed doctor takes one look at his gear and goes "what the fuck". It's a miracle that thing fires.

Fun fact: sock can torture people OTHER than katana

My anonlings seem to love torturing Hyperlaser, this is the second Hyperlaser torture ask I’ve gotten.

Man and just when I think I can’t dislike Blackrock any more >:( this is the region with the best tech geniuses and engineers and they don’t even go about modifying Hyper’s gear right! Instead they just mutilate it! Ouch. Poor Hyper.

His gear fires off spite alone basically. Well if it works it works… maybe someone could repair it… coughs Zuka
