the funniest thing about the bucktommy hate being partially centered around tommy's past and how he isnt good enough for buck for his previous on-screen jerk behavior and instances of mocking bigotry, is that it literally parallels buck still lmao. they both quite literally started out at the 118 as self-centered repressed jerks with frat boy attitudes. it just so happens that all of bucks growth has been on-screen unlike tommys.

Ok. So. I’ve been thinking…

Everyone involved from Tim to Oliver to Ryan has stated that they want to do the characters justice and tell a story “true” to the characters. IMHO there really isn’t a better story for Buck and Eddie in terms of character growth than them getting together.

Eddie has been constantly searching for a new maternal figure for Christopher and possibly even someone to just play “wife” with him so he can fulfill this heteronormative expectation of a having a traditional family unit that stems from his religious upbringing and what was modeled by his own parents. His identity and self image is that he’s a “nester, he nests”. He needs somebody to love. The rub is that none of his attempts to make that happen have made him happy. Buck is the solution to this. Buck is already a part of the family. What Eddie so desperately searches for in all of his failed relationships is what he already has with Buck and that does make him happy. He just doesn’t realize it yet.

Buck on the other hand is the opposite. Through his upbringing and trauma with his family life, Buck has felt neglected and unloved for a long time. In the earlier seasons, this manifests as hyper sexuality and a need to create intimacy with whoever he can project it on to. It’s quick and dirty and it does the trick for a little but it’s not satisfying and fulfilling the way he wants it to be. Buck needs to be loved. And his solution is Eddie. Buck has that lasting affection and intimacy with Eddie, and I’m not speaking sexually. What’s more intimate than having a key to someone’s house and being their child’s coparent/godparent? Buck also has the belief that he’s expendable and Eddie is the one to help him out of this mindset by making Buck Chris’s guardian in the event of death, which helps give meaning and weight to Buck’s self esteem because now Buck has a reason for self preservation: Chris. Also, Eddie is incredibly patient and kind when it comes to Buck. After the tsunami, Eddie sets Buck straight when he’s beating himself up about losing Christopher. Instead of being angry he lost Chris or just neutral and saying “it was out of your control”, Eddie actively reassures Buck in a positive way. Buck gets what he needs from Eddie. He just doesn’t realize it yet.

I saw something floating around that was really interesting and that I agree with: Eddie knows he loves Buck but doesn’t know he’s queer, and Buck knows he’s queer but doesn’t know he loves Eddie.

Whether or not they intentionally wrote them this way, whether they’re going for just box checking representation or shock value or fan satisfaction, what have you, the reality is that the product they currently have is currently set up in a way for them to do one of the most beautiful, unique, compelling queer love stories we have ever seen on network television. And I really hope they lean in to that.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk…

Ok so this twist post was inspired by a conversation with @killersweetie and these two tweets

CHAPTER 7 SPOILER WARNING‼️

So it’s been canonically confirmed that it’s been a few days in real world time since Malleus cast his spell. We already know that the spell only applies to living things.

Basically everyone should be worried that their food supply is more than likely not going to be edible when they wake up. Especially since it seems like they’ll be in their dream state for a couple more days. Think about it, food isn’t a living thing for the most part(I’m excluding some foods like potatoes(I’m counting the sprouts that grow out of them as living things, etc,) and once it’s out of the ground or said animal has been killed and cooked it’s only a matter of time before the food’s freshness begins to wear and it’s going to decay, even if it’s in a refrigerator.

So if all of the island is under the spell, including the people who run the restaurants, meat markets, and farmers, those people on Sage Island are about to be hungry and having a mini-famine. At least until the fishermen do their job all over again and they get stuck eating seafood for an extended period of time until other foods are imported in or made.

But this is just a rambling/theory!

TLDR; Malleus unintentionally screwed everyone else over in more ways than one.

I'm trying to avoid getting spoiled so I haven't looked up what's happening in the Jp server's main story, but for my own sanity I need to ask; is the story at a point where we know whether Lilia will get better/survive his almost-empty magic reserves..? Was it a true death flag from the start or only a plot device for malleus' overblot....?

not yet! I do think they're going to get back to it eventually, but -- keeping it as low spoilers as possible -- there's been...let's just say a LOT going on in the meantime.

enjoy 7-6!!! :)

Deep in the heart of the human lands, past the walls no Fae have crossed in centuries, tucked away in the royal gardens of one kingdom, lies a statue.

A relic from many generations ago, it has survived remarkably well. They— the studious groundskeepers and few nobles who come upon it— say that little is known about the curious monument with no known names or titles. Most suspect it to be a statement to the near-immortal race the humans had fought and won their freedom from in the War. Some even boasting that they knew it to be stolen from the Fae before the Wall went up. A trophy with a message carved into the stone should those cursed creatures ever set sight upon it again.

But it was none of those things.

A secret commission by Queen Andromache shortly after returning home from victory, the task went largely unnoticed during the extensive reconstruction period in the kingdom. Only she knew what her intent behind the memorial had been and only one other could ever understand— was the only one who ever had.

When choosing what words, if any, should be engraved, many titles came to mind: warrior, ally, queen in her own right, ambassador, friend, love. They all fit, but none encompassed her unresolved feelings or the person at the root of them.

So these words spilled forth as a silent-yet-defiant declaration to the world (to her) and a reassurance to herself as the years passed.

Maybe she wasn’t blessed or cursed with immortality, but this… this memory will remain.

I was thinking about the main 9-1-1 pairings and just had the most massive brain fart:

From what I can recall, Bathena's wedding and Henren's wedding were largely uneventful the day of. No lost spouse. No sudden emergency. No cold feet. NADA. Just a good vibes day.

But for the day of the Madney wedding, it resulted in Chimney getting a brain virus that sent him around LA with fragments of his memory and ended with him in a hospital bed. (though the hospital wedding was adorable)

Pretty much insane.

So for Bathena and Henren, chill wedding day.

For Madney, crazy wedding day.

So by that logic, Buck and Eddie's wedding day might be CHAOS.

Being unaware sometimes has its perks. Because i didn't know what the title of TDP season 7 was when i first watched season 6, and i went through the whole thing wondering what it would be, cause all of the primal sources had been used already. It was not until episode 9, when Aaravos explained what was needed for the spell to free him from the pearl, and he mentioned an object related to each primal source and then said that it also needed love, that i thought "Well of course! Season 7 is gonna be 'Love'! That's it!". And then... well... i found out i was not quite right 😭................................ Or was I? 👀👀👀👀

I don't think this was unintentional. In fact, the more i think about it, the more i realize how closely related both of the concepts of love and dark magic are within the story. I know at this point of the show this might be obvious, but hear me out.

There's this idea of what love is, that has been constantly portrayed throughout the series. Sacrifice. Quotes such as "i did what i had to do", "i would do anything for you". We hear these kind of phrases and many of us immediately associate them with love, whether it is romantically, platonically, filially, etc. But also, almost all of these quotes have been said in the show referencing the act of dark magic.

And what does dark magic require? The unthinkable, atrocious actions, sometimes betraying your own morals for a greater good. Oh, but isn't that admirable? Isn't that romantic? To have someone destroy themself in order to save you? Why, that's the greatest act of sacrifice anyone could do! They did it for love!

This may be a distorted idea of what love is, but we can't deny the fact that these kind of actions are perceived as acts of love, both in our society and in the TDP storyline. And it's really interesting because those are like opposite concepts: love is good, dark magic is bad; love is life, dark magic is death; yet somehow, they've managed to put them together and the line between one another has become so blurry. Are they really that different? If any despicable action could be done in the name of love, wouldn't that be just as dark? Wouldn't that also corrupt one's soul?

Honestly, i'm so excited to where the writers would go with this, but i don't know if it'll be that much in the face. My guess is that some character would do some huge sacrifice that would divide opinions on whether it was an act of love or an act of iniquity. What do you think?

six sentence story prompt hm perhaps about your henrik being alive cause he stole the magic glow theory? Silver out on his own realizing he has to be the one to end the cycle before henrik kills the remaining draconias

Sorry if it doesn’t make much sense

" . . . For what little it is worth— I am sorry."

He's mournfully earnest, voice wracked with the weight of several centuries of guilt. Silver cannot imagine what it must be like: to be awakened from the bliss of death you had thought you uncharitably earned, only to discover a portion of your soul had been unwillingly bound to a suit of armor along with those of several of your most trusted men. All the while your child stands before you, hundreds of years too late and very much alive.

"There is nothing that you have to be sorry for . . . Father." The name feels strange on his tongue, as if he's not adored those syllables like priceless gold ever since he could make sound.

The Knight glances at him, all creaking metal and acute devastation, as if to protest the unworthy gift of such a beloved title, as if he hadn't cradled Silver's bawling, pink-scrubbed frame fresh from the heat of birth as if he were handling the treasures of the gods and all their kingdoms. Whatever he sees on Silver's face halts him; perhaps he too understands it is not wise to spend what little time remains arguing pointless semantics.

Perhaps he's making peace with the fact that he'll see his son again soon.

That is, after all, what Silver understands the task at hand to be, the meaning behind the glyphs etched into the back of the ring clutched within his gloved palm.

Ending the cycle, preventing the taint of his family to spread across the land once more, saving Malleus-sama from the cruel whims of a man who claims to be his uncle, protecting the happy ending that his beloved father so dearly deserves.

Except, Henrik isn't the only Istovan left standing, is he?

I've been thinking about the theory that the guy who saved the charity person from tmagp 7 is from the response department and I love it so much I think it's an awesome theory but I was thinking about the implications of that, cause like that would mean we have a full force of people fighting against the horrors in this universe. It seems a little bit too superhero-y for a horror podcast, especially if Sam goes and joins, but then I guess the response department could be disbanded now or the tragedy could be that even with more organisation, people and knowledge, they still couldn't win against whatever the horrors are in this universe?
