one of my favorite things about eddie is the fact that his characterization in his first episode (doing show-off kicks in the gym, acting knowledgeable about selfie lighting, likes to be called EIGHT PACK) is so divergent from his real canon personality throughout the entire rest of the show, which of course we as the audience understand to be a symptom of them not knowing if he was going to be a regular or having found his character yet, but that couldn't possibly be an explanation in-canon, which means the only possible canon interpretation that would make sense is that his bitch ass met buck, immediately smelled blood in the water, and not only decided to fuck with him, but accidentally got so into it that he started to have his own homosexual peacock freakout

choosing to ignore most of that episode but it’s objectively hysterical that buck and athena steal the SD card and go to the smartest person they know bc she must have whatever super high tech is needed to look at the pictures and then karen just. plugs the card into her laptop

comprehensive list of reasons bobby could be alive

he has magic blood (see: season 1)

he dressed up as dracula, a vampire for the s8 halloween episode. ya know, a very famously undead character

the funeral was quite literally livestreamed on tiktok for HOURS because they had shut down a busy street in the middle dtla and yet tim was "crossing fingers that it wouldnt get leaked"??? after the buddie rain hug got leaked already this season???

bobby "died" on good friday (or the day before for the americans) and with religion being a super important part to bobbys character...

we met bobbys mother in an episode called "holy mother of god" clearly referring to his mother. the mother of god was mary. marys (ann) son (bobby) rose from the dead

chimney taking the rat home after it was infected and healed by the same virus that "killed" bobby

said virus has only a 30% mortality rate (according to the episode) and moira only sped up the incubation time of the virus, not the strength

we didnt see his body

the script leak from both oliver and jlh with bobby saying "im being buried alive" was the same day the cast and crew were filming at a graveyard

the silly cast photos in front of bobbys casket

the name on the turnout coat under the casket on the back of the truck changed from giarusso to nash during the procession livestream

NO GRAVE CAN HOLD MY BODY DOWN, ILL CRAWL HOME TO HER

buck never got to say "i love you" back to bobby

eddie wasnt there

we are 8 seasons in and there hasnt been any mcd before now

the casts reactions to bobby/peters departure, especially compared to when calum left after a couple of episodes

mans has already survived so much and we are expected to believe that a virus took him out???

fujo!bobby hasnt gotten to watch his ship (his son and said sons best friend) get married yet

it was supposed to be ravi??? but then it changed???

"you cant kill off captain banner. hes what keeps 119 fire family together" and then banner literally coming back to life by a doctor played by chimney (who was also infected with the virus but ultimately survived after getting the antidote)

he hasnt finished building his and athenas house for them to live in

NO GRAVE CAN HOLD MY BODY DOWN

ILL CRAWL HOME TO HER

we are stem

to the little girl first discovering a love of science on a school trip to the planetarium

to the little boy who dreams of diving into the depths of the ocean and discovering the world at our shores

to the burnt out high schooler wishing their science classes felt more like the theorizing video essays they watch until 1am

to the premed student losing her mind over a lab report

to the grad student standing tall at his first conference

to the programmer fearing she won't be taken seriously in heels

to the biologist afraid to introduce his PI to his husband for fear of being thought of differently

to the doctor whose patients ask to touch her hair and mispronounce her name

to the chemist wheeling up to his lab station

to the artist who is an engineer who is an artist who is an engineer

to the thinkers, dreamers, worriers, gamers, watchers, theorizers, believers

all genders, all races, all religious, all nationalities, all sexualities, all personalities

stem is incomplete without us

The fact that Victor Vale agreed to kill himself without hesitation so he might get superpowers tells you everything you need to know about the state of higher education.

Listen, you can’t be partners in crime and also be just “Best Friends”cause there is nothing more gay than planning murder

I don’t know what they did to my man

But thank you

s1 of fleabag exploring how sex isn't always beautiful how it can be used to hurt and control others and ourselves how it can feed into self objectification and unhealthy habits and s2 of fleabag exploring how meaningful it can be how it can lead to a deeper connection and be an expression of faith and trust and how it is connected to love and how these two seasons can coexist without ever contradicting each other

i can't explain why but "i love you" / "it'll pass" is genuinely one of the most comforting pieces of dialogue i've ever come across. the context is deliberately sad, the hot priest is walking away from fleabag, choosing religion over love ["oh i don't know what this feeling is" / "is it god or is it me?"] and it's SICK because he loves her too [ "i can't have sex with you because i'll fall in love with you and if i fall in love with you, i won't burst into flames, but my life will be fucked"] but like. it's not a "sad ending" for the sake of being sad and realistic or an unreasonably happy ending preaching love and forever ever-afters. it doesn't villainize or glorify the concept of love or people. it's simply speaking the truth in the simplest of words. you're in love with me and it's going to make you miserable but it'll pass. the pain will lessen and that ache in your chest will fade till it's tolerable. you'll laugh more often. soon it'll be easier to get up in the mornings. this is a law, a rule, a fact. no matter how precious that pain is, how inescapable- it'll pass. even though he's the hot priest and she's fleabag and they're so obviously made to be happily in love w each other- it'll still pass. it's how we're built-to persevere, to survive, to break and be okay again.

when talking about fleabag, we all talk about "I love you"/" it'll pass" but what we don't talk about maybe cause it's implied, maybe cause just quoting this encapsulates the feeling but listen,

the lines go fleabag saying "I love you" and the hot priest says "it'll pass" and THEN HE SAYS "i love you too"

idk if you have to name it to know it, but the fact that he confesses his love for her, the fact that he chose God, the fact that despite right person-wrong time or maybe wrong person-right time, despite all that, it'll pass. The love wasn't unrequited but the choice was. the subsequent grief, heartbreak, it'll pass

this is just earth-shattering, cause the only person that truly saw her, loved her for what she was, didn't choose her, and no matter what it'll pass. as if the greatest heartbreak of life is that it keeps moving on and you have to move on with it POETIC CINEMA

truly nothing about house md prepares you for wilson. he's fucking insane. he's been divorced three times. he's the only person who can scheme just as well as house. he gives a patient his own liver bc he felt bad for him - a patient who didn't even know wilson's name. btw. he noticed a patient had depression bc he never mentioned his grandkids. he starred in a porno. he dosed house with antidepressants for several weeks. he allowed his boybestie and his gf to share custody of him and didn't even try to stop it. house told him to buy a piece of furniture that represented who he was, and he bought a $4000+ organ for house. he was gonna torpedo his career to talk abt euthanasia bc one of his patients suffered longer than he had to. he let house move into his 1 bed apartment bc his therapist thought it'd be a good idea. this man would do anything for anybody if they let him. he'd fucking quit his job to save a snail off the sidewalk. bro is not normal in the slightest

I saw someone point out that Captain Gerard is at this ceremony and will watch watch a black lesbian woman, an asian man, a hispanic man and two queer men getting medals for being firefighters and I think that’s called divine retribution or something and I love it

9-1-1 SEASON 7: FAVORITE MOMENTS ↳ part 25/? +bonus

“This guy has found love fina… Well, I think love finally.”

The love word now being dropped for BuckTommy, my heart is so full.

This relationship has me down bad

(JLH interview X)

I cannot even begin to articulate how beautiful and heartbreaking the Kevin moment was.

The idea that this man who Chimney loved as a brother, who he lost too soon, came back to him in his moment of need and pointed him home? The way Kevin is one of his ghosts, but only in the most loving way.

As tragic as it was, losing Kevin brought with it a realization of unconditional love in the Lees—because not only did they manage to love him through the hurt, but they needed him, too. He wasn't a reminder of their pain—he was the son they had left who they could have lost, too, but didn't. He was love and joy, even through all the hurt. They were a family. A little bit broken, but built on the kind of foundation Chimney had never had until them, at least not since he'd lost his mom.

For Kevin to be the one to point him home? To send him to the two people whose unconditional love had kept him alive, if only in their hearts? To the parents who'd raised them both and didn't deserve to lose another son? To the two people who had never let him down?

It's just a lot.

Just over here thinking about just how much trust is implied in the way Eddie let loose at the bachelor party. And I know this isn't news, that Eddie trusts Buck implicitly, but there's just something so beautiful in the idea that Eddie Diaz—master of control and compartmentalization and putting everyone else first—was not only willing, but eager to let loose with Buck. Even after the safety of the rest of their group was gone, even after Buck had invited dozens of strangers into their space, Eddie didn't hesitate for a moment to let go with Buck because of course Buck is safe and of course he can trust Buck to let go right beside him without judgment.

And there's just something really beautiful in that.

It's funny - the scene with Marisol and Eddie playing happy family over ice cream was less believable to me than Eddie meeting Shannon's twin and sleeping with her. He's just decided that they don't know each other well enough to live together - but he's letting her get close to Christopher? What? But it paralleled the flashback scene where Eddie and Shannon were in bed (sex having always been their escape from reality), romanticizing what putting their family back together was going to be like ("Santa says mommy can come home!" Is the Easter Bunny going to comfort Chris when she leaves again?).

In both cases, Eddie is pulling these women closer in order to pull this picture perfect family back together. And this becomes especially apparent when the flashback to Shannon cuts and Eddie and Marisol are left sitting alone in this small, dark space, the vibe wildly different without Christopher there. They still have nothing to say to each other- this fact of their relationship hasn't changed since 7x05. Marisol is Kim - Eddie is playing out his dead relationship with Shannon with both women and he's going to be in for a rude awakening when reality hits - twice!

Old dreams die hard, specifically dreams that you come up with when you're young and naive and the world is full of possibility, dreams that you carry to war and that keep you going in brutal circumstances. More than Shannon herself, Eddie can't give up on what they were supposed to have.

Which makes it SO painfully ironic that Eddie's dream family is actually RIGHT THERE in front of him if he just reaches for it. The warm family scene in Buck's loft was such a deliberate contrast to both the flashback scene with Shannon and the second scene with Marisol. Shannon is dead and Eddie is just wasting time with his current gf - that's the cold, hard truth he's going to have to face soon. But it's also true that Eddie and Chris know Buck well enough to have pizza on the way when Buck's experimenting in the kitchen. And maybe that's how Eddie's dreams might still come true.

finally, it's completely canon

not this season opening with christopher being a player and cheating on his girlfriends and eddie saying he doesn't know where he got that from. brother the call is coming from inside the house!!

eddie making buck chris’ legal guardian if he dies is still so funny to me years later because like. bro if this was for normal reasons you would have picked someone with less than a 70% chance of being taken the fuck out right there with you

‘destiel is queerbait’ ‘destiel is canon and therefore not queerbait’

wrong. destiel defies regular definitions of canon and queerbait and in fact it’s both because of the sheer chaos going on in that writers room,, like one writer was doing heartfelt canon destiel, another one was only doing destiel for the bit, another one was doing queerbait destiel, another one was doing unrequited destiel, another one was actively trying to undermine someone else’s work and view of the pairing, and I could go on

You should call him. Really? Heck yeah!

CASTIEL'S LEGACY SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

and no I'm not elaborating idc idc

We’re never beating the “disaster bi” accusations if you swing from running into the closet screaming “hot chicks” on one date and then invite the man to your sister’s wedding blowing off the closet doors to everyone you know, including your biological parents, who are terrible, for the second.

good luck sir.

every time something bisexual happens in another show destiel gets gripped tight and raised to the trending page

WHAT IN THE ROM COM FANFIC DAYDREAMING ALTERNATE REALITY COMPLETELY PERFECT SCENARIO THAT WE ONLY DREAMED UP IN OUR HEADS AND NEVER THOUGHT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN A MILLION YEARS IS GOING ON HERE?!?!

Buck: *grinning through his clenched teeth* In all of LA we end up at the same restaurant at the same time?

Eddie: *closes find my friends app on his phone* What a coincidence!!!

Three exclamations because we all heard how loud Eddie was talking in that small restaurant

I don't even fully go here

Being the middle child and what it means

I think we've all stumbled upon the silly jokes on Pinterest and even here about what it means to be the middle child. A bunch of brave souls have even posted comedic reels on TikTok explaining in a funny way a lot of things middle children go through. However, I am not here to talk about those.

No, I am here to talk about how tiring it is to be the middle child for a whole other reason. You are always the mediator; you are always trying to balance things out between the older and the youngest sibling. The mediator between the other siblings and the parents. Probably, it's not the same for all middle children; but God am I tired of always trying to explain to every single person in my family what the other means. Always the one the others are going to complain to. For a while it is nice, you are seen, you are trusted, but how much weight can you carry? You get to understand everyone but no one gets you or each other because they just can't speak their minds to each other.

The double role you have to fill in; not just a younger sibling but also an older one as well. It takes some time to get used to. Especially, when the youngest sibling is younger for more than three years. Personally, I still can't shake my younger sibling behaviour off; I still make my older brother's life a living hell. I still prank him in the way only younger siblings do. He is the one I call when I don't know something, cause it's easier to ring him than search it on Google. At the same time, I can't help constantly worrying about my little brother; I need to put him to bed when he is drunk and emotional, set a bucket by his bed and make sure he sleeps on his side. I still whine at my older brother when he doesn't go along with all my whims but I also act the same as him with our younger brother.

Being the middle child means you are always in the middle of everything whether you want it or not. It is tiring, it is tough, and sometimes it drives you insane. Nevertheless, I wouldn't change it for the world.
