#Blue Tsunami 2024

[pissingonmonarchy]

It is clear that the Supreme Court thinks it can override the Constitution. The US Constitution says that the Legislature can override a Supreme Court ruling by passing laws by 75% majority in the House, 75% majority in the Senate, and 75% of the States ratification. Article 14 Section 3 was passed that way yet the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional which they do not have the authority to do according to the Constitution. The press, Legislature, and office of the Presidency are not putting a stop to the abuse of power by the Supreme Court. This ruling is just another overreach by the Supreme Court.

You know the assignment.

Vote Blue. Vote en masse.

We outnumber the GOP 4:1 we can win this.

[originalleftist]

To be fair, I have not yet found confirmation of this from another source. So until then, treat it with whatever skepticism you feel is due. If anyone has corroboration, please share.

However, if this is true (and I have not generally known Snell to be a fringe conspiratorial source), then every single death from the war between now and then, Palestinian, Israeli, or other, must be considered a potential homicide by both Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump as a result of Trump's illegal violation of the Logan Act, by engaging in unauthorized diplomacy with a foreign government for his own political gain.

Also, to every single person who says they won't vote, will "protest vote" or even vote Trump to punish Democrats over not stopping the war in Gaza, who holds assisting a Trump victory up as the "pro-Palestinian" or "anti-genocide" position- you are an imbecile and a scoundrel and a tool, you do not care about Palestinian lives, you are yourself a collaborator in war crimes with Netanyahu and Trump, and fuck you.

Done Old Running From A Blue Tsunami

[rosielindy]

After three trips to Michigan I’m more determined than ever to flip Indiana blue in 2024. In the last 24 hours I’ve seen more “signs” of ignorance than I’ve seen in total all year where I live. It’s sickening that people are doubling down. Indiana wasn’t red when I moved there in 1991 and went blue for Obama in 2008. The energy right now is even stronger than it was then. Next Friday I will be attending a meeting to become acquainted with others in my community who are working for positive change. I believe there are many more like-minded folks than I realize. It’s time to stop cowering in fear and come out roaring!

[headingtowardsdirt]

Hey, I know the democratic party is moving towards fascism and is generally ineffective at making real change BUT

The republican party is 1, ten times worse and 2, seems to be losing credibility even among conservatives. Which leads me to a thought.

How big would a blue wave have to be to break up team red?

Because that would be great right? Not just because we could take some air away from the father right politicians. But that could hurt the DNC too. Many Republicans would probably join the democrats and the party would become larger and more ubiquitous initially. But I don't think they'd do anything to entrench a single party state. I think there'd be an open spot for a new second party like after the whigs disbanded. If we play our cards right that could be a real left leaning party and the dnc would become the conservative party (again). It's a bit of a long shot but if successful could be beneficial to the leftist cause.

But these are my unrefined thoughts, would love to hear some feedback on the matter

(Reminder. Saying things like "that'll never happen" and "this is a bad take" without an explanation of why is not actually helpful and won't stay in the notes of this post.)

Definitely better off now than we were in 2020.

“How often in 100 days do you get to change the trajectory of the world? How often in 100 days do you get to do something that’s going to impact generations to come?” Walz asked. “And how often in the world do you make that bastard wake up afterwards and know that a Black woman kicked his as, sent him on the road?”

you make us proud. too bad wellstone didn't live to see this.

GO WALZ1!!

[qqueenofhades]

Leaving aside possible reversals, disasters, doom & gloom, can we take a moment to savor the Trump meltdown over Harris/Walz and the momentum that makes a possible blue tsunami seem an entirely plausible outcome? I'd love to give you the space to ramble about it if you'd like, as my current fandom at least for the moment has shifted back to US politics (but not, for the first time in a while, to doom scrolling politics!).

Aha, I feel as I have probably already said most of my current thoughts, but here are a few things that really make me desire a heaping helping of butt-whooping blue wave in November:

The state that has had the most volunteer sign-ups since Harris took over the ticket? Fucking Florida, with over 18,000. The Villages, formerly a hotbed of Trump support (and y'know, probably still is), also had a major pro-Kamala event, and she is allegedly up 15 points in Miami-Dade (after Biden won the county by 7% and lost the state only by 3%). Now, we all know that Obama won Florida twice, but it has become such a symbol of retrograde Trumpian/DeSantisian politics that winning there would be literally seismic. I'm not going so far as saying that it's in PLAY play, but let's just hold onto that happy, happy idea.

Likewise the poll I mentioned the other day, where Trump is struggling to break 50% in Ohio, once a swing state and now also reliably red. The fact that this is Vance's home state and he's dragging the ticket down every single time he opens his mouth, thus offering the smallest sliver of hope that Ohio (which DID legalize abortion and weed by major margins last year) could also go blue? Incredible. Amazing. Showstopping.

Harris is also tied with Trump (46%-46%) in North Carolina and there is a lot of chatter about how the terrible GOP governor candidate could give a boost to Democratic turnout statewide.

The Mormons have apparently announced their intention to abandon (or at least support much less than they usually do) the Republican presidential ticket in 2024. Remember when Obama won Indiana in 2008? In my wildest dreams, I imagine Utah going blue in 2024. It won't but shh.

Basically, where we were braced for another agonizing nail-biting grind-it-out three-day election determined by a few thousand votes in key states (because etc etc the Electoral College sucks) we are now looking at the very real possibility that Harris wins at least one state, and possibly more, that Biden didn't, and which have been seen as out of reach for Democrats since Trump came on the scene. I don't think I need to counsel anyone against complacency, because we're all too damn scared for that, but yeah. Polls, even the good-looking ones that we like, don't vote. They are still skewed and subjective and do not represent the actual reality, whatever that may end up being. The Republicans and the media will be trying their absolute goddamnfuckingest to ratfuck us again in the 80-something days that remain, but:

WE CAN DO THIS, WE WILL DO THIS, WE MUST DO THIS.

WHAT IS THIS.... JOY SCROLLING? FOR AMERICAN POLITICS? IN THE YEAR 2024 WITH DONALD TRUMP ON THE TICKET FOR THE FUCKING THIRD TIME?

UNPOSSIBLE.

One Day | Eris x Reader 

For Eris Week 2024 - Day 7: Free Day @erisweekofficial

Summary: You see Eris again after he saved you. 

Warnings: Rhys being a jackass, (let me know if I forgot anything!)

Dividers by @tsunami-of-tears for Eris Week.

“I’m telling you no.” Rhys said, hands in his pockets as he stood in your doorway. “You won’t go to this announcement. I will not have you see him.” 

“I need to, Rhys. The bargain-“ 

“I know the bargain isn’t pulling you to him.” He said. “And I know the bargain you made with him isn’t time constrained. So as long as I’m around, you won’t be seeing him.” He said. 

“And what if something goes wrong with Kier and you? Or Mor? Or Feyre, now that she’s pregnant-“

A low growl came from his throat and you rolled your eyes. “I’m not threatening her… but Nesta’s going to be there. I should be there.” You said. 

“There is no reason-“

“I am in the Inner Circle. I am your sister. I deserve to be there. Especially when my sister is announcing her pregnancy to half our Court.” You said. “I’m coming. Whether you like it or not,” you said and turned around, grabbing your shoes. “You can’t force me to stay here.” You said. 

Rhys let out a frustrated sigh. “You’re not to leave Azriel’s side, understood?” He asked. “And you are not allowed to talk to Eris.” 

“You’re not my keeper, Rhys.” 

“I am your High Lord,” he said, seriously. 

“You’re my brother.” You said and crossed your arms. “You won’t stop me from doing anything.” You said. 

“I swear, sometimes you’re worse than a teenager.” He grumbled before turning on his heel and walking out of the room. 

The Court of Nightmares was just as you remembered it, exactly as it had been when Azriel got the Orb in secret. You were honestly surprised Eris even agreed to show up here… but you weren’t going to question it. You missed your mate. Yes, you’d been communicating down the bond as best you could with tugs. And sometimes you were able to get letters to each other. But it wasn’t the same as being here. With him. 

Rhys had been too protective of you for the past centuries. And you haven’t seen him once since those two weeks you were healing. 

And by the Cauldron did you see him. He aged just slightly, having a larger frame and slightly longer hair. While you thought he would’ve been clean shaven, he has a slight stubble neatly trimmed. His red hair glowed in the faelight, standing out amongst the heads of darker hair. 

His eyes were immediately locked with yours, his breath hitching in his throat. Eris hadn’t seen you since that night either. You weren’t even at the High Lords meeting those few months ago. But here you were, in all your glory. Your violet eyes, twin to your brothers, widened as he locked eyes with you. 

As much as you wanted to go straight to him, Rhys was on alert. Cassian and Azriel flanked your sides like sentinels. Cassian’s gaze was on Nesta, and Azriel was watching Elain. Though, you knew if you asked enough, Azriel would distract Rhys so you could speak with your mate. He was the only one that knew, much to his dismay… 

You paced in your room, waiting for Rhys to tell you if you could go back to Autumn for their celebration ball of the beginning of the season. It had been two years, and every year he said no. Baron alone would be furious that you were there. But you were the Princess of Night. You needed to be there. You needed to see your mate. 

“I can hear you in the living room, why are you so nervous? You know he’s going to say no.” Azriel said, leaning against the doorway. You were dressed and ready to go, a navy blue dress your mother made for you hung from your shoulders and cascaded all the way down to the floor. You were stunning. “He doesn’t want you to see Eris.” 

“I know that. And it’s ridiculous. If Eris wanted to hurt me, he would’ve let me die.” You said, sitting down on the bed. “He would’ve had his healer tell you there was nothing else to be done and killed me then and there. And he didn’t.” 

“For his own motives… having the Princess of Night die in his court-“

“It wasn’t for the Court. Or for his own motives.” You whispered, tears pricking your eyes. 

“Then what was it?” He asked. 

Your eyes came up to his, taking a shaky breath. “You have to promise… make a bargain… if I tell you this… you will never tell another soul. In any way.” You said, searching his eyes. 

Concern peaked in his mind. Did Eris do something to you? Did it have something to do with the bargain tattoo on your forearm? The one you shared with the heir to Autumn? 

“I promise. I will never tell another soul. In any way.” He said, kneeling in front of you. He felt a small tattoo appear on his shoulder blade, he’d look at it later. “Now what is it?” He asked. 

“Eris is my mate.” You whispered, taking a shaky breath. “And this bargain is a promise that we will go back to each other… one day.” You said. 

You winced when you looked up and saw the rage on Azriel’s face. “You made me- how could you make a bargain with me to keep this secret? Rhys will kill me-“

“He won’t. Not when there’s a bargain in place. I needed someone to know, Az. You’re my best friend. You’re my brother. And I need you to help me convince Rhys that Eris is safe. I’m safe around him.” You said. 

“No, no there’s plenty of males that are horrible to their mates. Eris could be one of them. I will not help you.” 

Azriel may not have helped you for the first few months, but then he found a letter that was from Eris to you. And he gave it to you. He didn’t comment or say anything, only that next time Eris wanted to contact you, to address it to Azriel. That way, it would look like court correspondence and not two mates exchanging letters. 

He helped you distribute them more and more. And helped you when the bargain tugged at you to see him. Or the bond was too much to manage. Azriel was your best friend, your brother. And he would help you carry this burden. 

You made sure Eris knew about it too, because you couldn’t have Eris eternally pissed at the male that was helping you. 

So when you looked up at Azriel, eyes wide with desperation, he knew what you wanted. “I’ll give you one dance.” He whispered, nodding as he walked towards Rhys and Feyre. 

You took a shaky breath, noticing Cassian was too busy watching Nesta to notice you as you walked into the crowd. You made your way to the head of red locks, finding yourself in front of him sooner than you expected. 

“Hi.” You whispered, hands trembling at your sides. 

“Hello,” he drawled, causing you to almost collapse on your knees. “You are gorgeous.” He whispered, leaning down to your ear. 

Your hands reached for his arms, needing to be connected to him in someway. “So are you,” you whispered back, tears welling on your eyes. “I’ve missed you.” You whispered. 

“You have no idea,” he responded, pulling back and taking your hands in his. “May I have a dance?” He asked. 

You didn’t even need to respond before he whisked you away on the dance floor. The entire room turned their attention to you, but all you saw was Eris. His amber eyes glowing as he gazed into your violet ones. His hair slightly disheveled atop his head. The way his near permanent smirk was slightly softer. All for you. 

“Stop.” You heard a commanding voice- your brother’s voice say. You paused, turning around. Eris kept a hand on your hip as you both faced the High Lord. The rest of the congregation paused, all taking at least three steps back from you all. “What are you doing?” He simply asked. 

“Dancing.” You responded, your chest puffed and your eyes deadlocked on his. “As people do at a celebration. Why don’t you try it sometime, Rhysand?” You asked. 

You felt the fury ripple off him, but it calmed as Feyre set a hand on his arm. She knew. The look in her eyes… she knew about you and Eris. 

You noticed them stare at each other for a moment before a slight chuckle came from Rhys’s lips. You heard the entire court let out a sigh of relief. “The Princess of Night, everyone, always once for the dramatics.” He said. “Resume.” He said. Everyone went back to mingling, expect you and Eris. 

Rhys motioned for the two of you to approach and you sucked in a breath. “I don’t know if I can do this here.” You whispered to Eris as he walked with you to the dais. 

“You tug and I’ll take us away immediately.” He responded, a hand resting in the small of your back. 

“Well… it seems like we have secrets.” Rhys said once you were in speaking distance. 

“Please, Rhys, let’s do this at home.” You said. 

“You decided to make it very public. You don’t think everyone can smell your scents?” He asked. 

“You’re a High Lord and Lady. You know you can detect more…” you took a deep breath. “I’d like to discuss this somewhere private. Since this is the only time I’ve been allowed to see Eris, I didn’t have much of a choice.” You said. 

Feyre stood up, a hand on her belly and the other on Rhysand’s shoulder. “We will go home. As soon as we see… Nesta is back.” She said and nodded. “Dancing with Cassian, after all.” She said and you turned, smiling gently as you saw your brother dancing with her.

“Thank you, Feyre.” You said. “We’ll be happy to speak with you both at home-“

“There is no we. Eris is going to report back to his father.” Rhys said. 

“He will come home with me whether you like it or not, Rhysand.” You said, dark tendrils of your power rippling from your feet. 

“Do not test me, (Y/N). You will not like the outcome. Eris will go to Autumn, report to his father that all is well, and we will have a discussion about what to do about your… predicament.” He said. 

“Our ‘predicament’ is just that. Ours.” Eris said. “If you wish to keep my mate from me for any longer, Rhys, you may just find me invoking the Blood Duel.” He said. 

Your breath hitched and you looked to Eris. “You would-“

“I would do anything for you, my love.” He said, staring deep into your violet eyes. He broke his gaze to look back at Rhys. “We will speak about this together or not at all… or Autumn will be of no help to you in this war.” 

“We might just go to Beron and tell him of your treason instead.” Rhys said. 

“You wouldn’t dare.” You said. “Rhys, he’s essentially your family now.” You said, taking Eris’s hand. “You do anything to betray him and I will go to Autumn and be mated to him to prove where my loyalty really lies.” 

Rhys took a deep breath. “Fine, we talk about this at home.” He said and stood up, not even bothering to announce the departure before he left the dais with Feyre. 

You let out a shaky breath and looked at Eris. “You would really invoke a Blood Duel? For me?” You asked. 

Eris rested a gentle hand on your cheek. “Of course I would, darling. I’d do anything to keep you with me. To bring you back to me.” He said. 

You shook your head. “Who new the heir of Autumn could be so sentimental.” You teased, squeezing his wrist. “Let me take you to my home.” 

A/N: My final submission for Eris Week. This has been so incredible! Thank you so much for all the support and a special thank you to @erisweekofficial for hosting this week.

If you wish to see more of this couple, don't hesitate to ask!

Something’s Fishy Here (Merperson!reader)

Notes: My contribution to Mermay 2024 while I still have motivation to write this month.

Characters: Alhaitham, Diluc Ragnvindr, Wriothesley, Dainsleif, Neuvilette, Capitano

Warnings: mentions of physical violence

Masterlist

Alhaitham (Lemon Shark)

Sumeru was known as the land of kelp. It was a large kelp forest before the reefs of Fontaine and after the clear waters of Liyue and Mondstadt.

You, being one of the more curious members of the merfolk, had been traveling alone for a time.

Sumeru, as it happened, was one of the places you’d been wanting to visit the most.

That was when you first met Alhaitham, a lemon shark merman who was a tad more standoffish than most others of his subspecies.

You were a beta fish merperson, your tail frilled and colorful. It was one of your only defense mechanisms save for the shorter claws you had compared to other more aggressive merfolk that came from harsher places.

Alhaitham was, by all standards, a good lover to you. He treated you well and kept you safe if ever he saw someone as a threat.

One time, you accidentally flipped him over while you were bothering him and that was the day you realized what Tonic Immobility was.

He likes nuzzling your neck and is practically attached at the hip to you all evening after a long day apart from you.

Diluc Ragnvindr (Red Snapper)

You were a shark, so you often tended to be a bit of a loner.

That’s why you were so surprised to find that you had feelings for Diluc, a Red Snapper merman.

Diluc didn’t really know how to react when he found you were often there to help whenever he needed assistance, but he figured out why when you bared your teeth at Donna when she tried to make him uncomfortable and get in his personal space.

Soon enough, he plucked up the courage to ask you to be with him. He noticed you looked rather excited when he asked, and you happily said yes to him.

He definitely laughs when he realizes you can go into tonic immobility.

He doesn’t do it often, given that you’re in a trance for almost fifteen minutes every time he does it, but he does find it heavily amusing.

He likes staying close to you, given he rarely gets to have a break from work, so you usually help him with his work when you’re not working for the Adventurers Guild.

Wriothesley (Great White Shark)

Shark Wriothesley is the best Wriothesley

You were a swordfish merperson, but you quite liked being around Wriothesley even before you got into a relationship with him.

There’s a lot of hunting competitions between the two of you.

Wriothesley, despite knowing you can hold your own, definitely fights for you whenever you two get into any skirmishes with others because of his more instinct driven nature that rears its head in fights.

His territory is the Meropide Trenches that separate the north and south hemispheres of Fontaine’s waters.

He hates it when you flip him over. His tonic immobility lasts for a little over ten minutes, but he still hates it because it stresses him out.

He’s fiercely protective of you, but it’s because he loves you and doesn’t want you getting hurt.

Dainsleif (Greenland Shark)

He’s definitely a Greenland Shark merman in my personal opinion.

Khaenri’ah used to be a reef system, but during a tectonic shift, was sucked deeper down in the ocean, resulting in a tsunami due to the colliding tectonic plates.

The tsunami wiped out many in the population, which were sharks, and Dainsleif, cursed by the Seven alongside the other pureblood Khaenri’ahn people, slowly became a Greenland Shark, but his tail remained the same deep royal and navy blue colors it had always been, despite the fins morphing over time to tolerate the far lower depths of the sea.

That was when he met you, a snailfish merperson, who lived closer to the deeper depths of the trenches.

You got along well with him, and often visited him given how easily you traveled to the deeper parts of the trenches without any trouble.

He’s a tad more protective, but that’s because he doesn’t want to lose you as he has most of not all of the other people in his life.

Neuvilette (Swordfish)

Neuvilette is a swordfish merman, I’ll die on this hill.

Instead of being protective and possessive of you, he mostly just tries to avoid situations where you would need his protection.

He likes giving you gifts, it’s one of the ways he expresses his love for you.

Suddenly, your home is filled with little trinkets and shiny things he finds whenever he’s out and about in the reefs.

He also speaks to the melusines, who swim around with you when you’re unable to see him due to his work.

He likes physical touch, it’s one of the things that calms him down in the rare occasions where he gets angry.

Though he rarely shows it, he does often worry about you, even if you can defend yourself.

Capitano (Great White Shark)

Another shark merman.

Capitano is one of the larger shark merfolk, so he usually doesn’t even need to fight for someone to get the message to leave if they bother you.

You’d wandered into his territory by accident, but you, being a remora fish merperson, immediately thought he was friend shaped and swam up to say hi.

He’s perplexed by you. Few to none of the other merfolk in these waters swim within half a mile of his territory, but he’s certainly not one to refuse the company of someone as kind as you, so he lets you explore.

He slowly grows to realize he has feelings for you, and it’s only when he sees Dottore, a tiger shark, going after you that he realizes that he’d rather fight someone to the death than see you hurt.

After all, it ought to be only him biting you, and certainly not to kill you.

After that incident, he asks if you’ll be in a relationship with him, and you say yes.

He’s a good lover, and provides most anything you wish for.

He’d raze the whole ocean if only to see you happy.

Weekly Recap | March 25th-31st 2024

Happy late Easter if you celebrate! I had four days off soooooo as you can see, this is a long one 😆 (honestly feels like I spent the entire fucking day working on this!!)

OMG those stills last week? That episode synopsis? can't WAIT for 7x04 !!!!

(There's a couple of people not tagged, if you know them, please tag the min the comments!)

Complete

🔥 A Million Pretty Pieces by ShesLikeTexas / @shesliketexas-17 (Sentinel/Guide AU, Canon Divergent, SEAL!Buck | 251K | Teen): After enduring countless procedures to save his older brother, Evan Buckley is only four-years-old when he manifests as the youngest Guide in human history. The Global-Sentinel-Guide-Association brings one of their finest mentors, Bobby Nash, out of retirement to help train the young Guide.

When You Gimme Those Ocean Eyes by Princessfbi/ @princessfbi (Post-Tsunami, Mermaid!Buck | 5K | General): The loft was dark and stilted like Buck hadn’t even bothered to turn on the lights when he got home but the air was thick with moisture. Maddie heard the shower first and then the pitiful, pained whimper next. “Buck!” Maddie moved in through the loft to the bathroom and pushed open the door. She was met with a face of trapped steam that seeped into her skin and made her lungs release a tension she didn’t know she’d been holding. But that tension returned tenfold as she flipped on the light. Buck stared up at her, tired and scared, from where he was slumped in the corner of his shower. (Part 1 of 🔥Mermaid AU)

Fallin’ Into Your Ocean Eyes by Princessfbi / @princessfbi (Mermaid!Buck, Getting Together | 21K | Mature): “Do you trust me?” Buck asked, as he nuzzled his nose against Eddie’s. “You know I do.” “Good,” Buck said, pecking him on his lips again before he pulled away and kicked off his boots. “I need you to hold my pants.” Buck hooked his thumbs in the waistline of his jeans and pushed them down in a blink of an eye. If Eddie’s face could get any redder, it would, but the heat of his gaze had Buck shoving down a shiver that raced up his spine. He handed Eddie his jeans and pulled off his shirt. “This is weird,” Eddie mumbled as Buck handed his clothes to him. “I hope you realize this is weird.” (Part 2 of 🔥Mermaid AU)

A Diamond Mind and Those Ocean Eyes by Princessfbi/ @princessfbi (Mermaid!Buck | 35K | Teen): “Buck…” Eddie wheezed, his eyes rolling in his head. Maddie snapped her gaze down to look at him and almost burst into tears at the sight. Eddie’s sun kissed skin was deathly pale, with blue tinging his lips and dark circles under his eyes. Buck never would’ve left him. Not like this. “Eddie!” Maddie said, shaking him herself. “Where’s Buck?” Eddie wheezed and said, “… boat.” Then Eddie stopped breathing and Chimney started CPR. (Part 3 of 🔥Mermaid AU)

Work It Like The Rent's Due by Loverlylo/ @theloverlylo (Stripper!Buck | 4K | Teen): Look, the cost of living in Los Angeles is insane, and public servants make nothing. Lacking savings, an inheritance, or a spouse with a high-earning job, Buck turns to a side gig to help pay is rent. And what side gig is perfect for a gorgeous man with no shame? If you guess stripping, you win.

the music moves me (right onto your lap) by KaztielCS118 (Stripper!Eddie | 4K | Mature): Eddie used to be a strip dancer, he shows Buck just how good he is.

🔥 I want to be your fantasy (maybe you could be mine) by 42hrb/ @exhuastedpigeon (Bachelor Party | 7K | Explicit): Eddie stopped just outside the doors, a hand on Buck's arm to stop him from going inside. “Buck I have to tell you something and you’re not allowed to say shit about it okay?” “Of-of course,” Buck was a little worried at how serious Eddie was being, but it probably wasn't anything that bad if he was going to tell Buck something and then go into a pole dancing class. “I’m going to be really good at this class,” Eddie said, his voice low. “Because one of my jobs before moving to L.A. was stripping. You’re the first person who didn’t work at the club or go to the club to know that and I’d prefer if it stayed that way.”

pauses, then says by vstars (S7E4 Speculation | 1K | Teen): or, Eddie checks up on Buck after an accident at the basketball court

Wrong Side of Heaven by TearsThisSideofHeaven (MCU AU, Post-Snap | 8K | Mature): In the moment, Buck wonders if this is the end of the world. Later, he’ll find himself wishing it had been. Or: the post-Thanos 9-1-1 AU that's been rattling around in the author's brain for literally years.

too tired to keep lying by extasiswings/ @extasiswings (S7E6 Spec, Madney Wedding | 1K | Teen): “But someone has to tell everyone that there’s—” Buck’s voice cracks. A shudder wracks him and Eddie’s hold tightens. “—that there’s not going to be a wedding today.” “There could be.” “What?” Eddie swallows hard, pulling back enough that his eyes can meet Buck’s. “There could still be a wedding today.”

do you want to know a secret by bucksclipboard/ @excuseme-greentea (S7, Getting Together | 3K | Teen): Buck overworks himself and his family worries. When Eddie overhears a conversation between Maddie and Chimney, he learns he might just have caused Buck’s change in behavior. The good news is – there’s something he can do about it.

🔥 If I Never Hear Your Voice Again by actualalligator/ @actualalligator (Canon Divergent, Post-S3E1 Kids Today, Online Friendship | 21K | Mature): After the pulmonary embolism, Buck starts to experience nerve pain and intermittent weakness in his leg. He undergoes another surgery, but when it does not help, he is medically retired from the LAFD. Chimney gets him a video game so they can play it together, but one night it leads him right to Eddie, a single dad from Texas, desperate to make ends meet. They strike up a friendship that eventually leads to more while they work through depression, a move, some new jobs, and a lot of other life stuff.

The One Where The 118 Play "Never Have I Ever" & Chaos Ensues. by dylaesthetics (S7, Getting Together | 3K | Teen): Or playing Never Have I Ever during a slow shift goes as well as you can probably expect.

Warmth of your Gratitude and Appreciation by Wildgirl93/ @wildlife4life (S7E3 Coda | 1K | Not Rated): Buck is coming down from the rush of the cruise rescue and Eddie takes him home.

It’s clarity, edging slowly into focus from off-stage. And when he wakes up in the hospital bed and registers a soft, slim hand in his, he thinks, "no, that’s not it". Or, Five Ways Eddie's Body Feels Different After the Shooting

🔥 Nights are mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day by HMSLusitania [podfic](@hmslusitania) by Rhea314 (Rhea)/ @rhea314 (Camping Trip, Getting Together | 20-30 minutes | Not Rated): Coincidentally lacking children for a week, the firefam go camping together.

Chim, overly credulous, kicks them off with a quick, “Hey remember when we were jinxed because Probie said the q-word? Do you guys think there’s such a thing as actual magic?” In his defence, Eddie guesses, it really is a …q-word… shift and they don’t have anything better to do, everyone sprawled around on various pieces of furniture in the loft. Eddie had been playing a round of pool with Buck, but if they’re going to get into this conversation, he’s got to nip it in the bud. “Nope,” he says.

🔥 The Best Lie is a Truth (My Best Mask is My Face) by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels [podfic] (@letmetellyouaboutmyfeels) by Rhea314 (Rhea)/ @rhea314 (Post-S5, Fake Relationship | 4-5 hours | Explicit): The Buckleys are celebrating their 50th Anniversary, and Maddie and Buck are both expected to come. To take the heat off Maddie, Buck impulsively blurts out that he's seeing someone new. Obviously, there's only one solution: bring Eddie as his fake boyfriend, pretend to be in love with him, and survive the weekend with minimal bloodshed. No problem, except for the, uh. "Pretend" part. Oops.

Eddie came out of his hunch a little and looked him in the eyes, and Buck felt a zing of giddy accomplishment. It maybe made him stupid. "But to be honest, I'm really flattered that Pepa thought a punk like me could get a guy like you." Eddie's eyes went huge, and under the sodium lights Buck could see his ears turning red. Just two strangers hanging out after a tsunami, talking about being in the closet.

🔥 Don't Take the Money by HMSLusitania [Podfic] (@hmslusitania) by Rhea314 (Rhea) / @rhea314 (Post-Lawsuit, Time Loop | 2.5-3 hours | Mature): “You know, being stuck here isn’t actually the end of the world,” Chimney says, coming up to the table and picking up one of the smoke detectors. “It just feels like it, Buck. Trust me, I know.” “I’m pretty sure it might actually be the end of the world,” Buck says. “Considering this is the sixth time I’ve lived this day.” Chimney stares at him for a beat and then his eyebrows lift. “Wait, are you like – dude, are you in Groundhog Day?” OR The post-lawsuit time-loop AU literally no one asked for.

Here’s Tsunami drawn from 2023 (right) and 2024 (left)

I feel like my old style had way too long legs 💀💀

Anyways, here are a few hcs I have about her rn :)

She has a few extra ribbons and fins around, having grown up with her only water source being a dark cave river, she had to develop some extra feeler things (??)

She’s a bit darker in colour because of this aswell, I think seawings would gain their colour from their environment. Deep sea seawings being dark purples and dark blues, and maybe shallow/reef seawings being lighter colours of blue, green and sometimes yellow, pink and oranges if they’re really in the reef.

Longer tail than most, again, a consequence from the cave.

She can put up with colder waters, and prefers the underwater sea palace over the summer palace

That’s all <3
