I don’t like seeing Mike’s hair go to waste, so here’s my contribution to the bald mike wheeler agenda

tonight I had the privilege of hearing a 13 year old explain the terms “cooking” and “cooked” to my 45 year old manager and she said something so excellent I have to document it.

“cooked is bad. cooking is good. you’re either in the pot or you’re holding it.”

Reading a fanfic and Buck and Bobby are being so Buck and Bobby™️ that I’m cracking up and smiling at my phone like a dork and then I remember

Rewatching the episode after Eddie gets shot and this one scene is taking me out—

Carla: Now what about you? I mean, how is it being back out there?

Buck: It’s weird. You know, the…team feels off without Eddie.

Carla: [lowkey confused and fed up] Not what I was asking about.

There’s a firefighter killing sniper on the loose and he’s like “I miss my boyfriend” ☹️ sksksksk

like, the most compelling ships for me always stem out of one thing: the characters have a profound, ongoing effect on each other’s senses of selves. when they are apart, the characters’ actions are still affected by each other. the way they approach the world changes because of the other. 

which is this deeply Austenian view of ideal romantic relationships as mechanisms by which we come to know ourselves better and become better versions of ourselves. good romance, for me, is always tied in with a sense of self-actualization, and the way in which a beloved partner allows a person to know themselves better.

I feel like whenever you get too doomer about the idea that the entire population harbors some deep undeprogrammable homophobia you have to remember that in the 2010s hearts & minds were being changed by shit like Glee

One of my childhood friends who like me, was raised as a Zionist just rejected Israel Outdoor's birthright trip offer. We had stopped talking these last few months and she called to apologize and tell me she's not going in May because she's been wrestling with how to reconcile her faith with what Israel is doing. We stopped talking because she couldn't understand why I would do that and now she has come to this conclusion on her own.

This is such a big deal and such a big win for me and I wanted to share this because everyone should know that views can shift. It's definitely not easy and definitely not because of just me but it's possible.

Don't stop talking about Palestine. Don't stop spreading facts about Israel's violent occupation of Palestine.

Btw Israel Outdoors is absolutely disgusting. If you don't know, they recruit college kids on campus to go do birthright trips. They're huge Zionists who openly support the occupation and genocide.

The whiplash I have from reading through everyone thoughts tonight’s like:

“After an entire season of build up, there was next to nothing besides Buck’s heavily Eddie coded lines to Hen about how he would accept her doing what was best for her and a fucking fist bump.”

damn it’s fr over

“The show runner and Ostark both said that major plots that were building got put on hold in the midst of the characters grief over Bobby…”

Oh, we’re so back.

“But if Chimney becomes captain, Eddie is going to be the other paramedic, so he’s not going to be Buck’s partner anymore.”

damn it’s fr over

“But that means Hen is going to be his partner, so now we’re going to have him getting closer to a gay character when there’s still so much emotionally unresolved in his relationship with Buck.”

Oh, we’re so back.

“But we literally glossed over the perfect opportunity for Eddie to choose to come back home to Buck as opposed to Abby who never came home to Buck, because it was Chimney’s speech that brought him home.”

damn it’s fr over.

“But Buck has abandonment issues and the fact that Chimney was able to get Eddie to come back, but not Buck may set up the perfect amount of tension in their relationship to build up to some sort of realization.”

Oh, we’re so back.
