Tag drop. Have a gifL

Happy turkey day to those that celebrate, I’m thinking about Steve who has absent, borderline neglectful parents but THAT’S ACTUALLY OKAY it’s actually perfect on holidays because Steve’s pretty extroverted and probably has a large group of friends extending from close to “we’re on the same basketball team and Steve will high five your face if you don’t get your hand up fast enough”

so really all he’s gotta do it bat those puppy eyes at some unsuspecting mom and BAM invited to holiday dinner. He probably does rounds, and thankfully he has teenage boy metabolism because he probably manages to fit 7 different moms’ dinner in in one day

And sure, after he graduates he’s not sure if it’s good manners to show up at old teammates’ doorsteps. BUT THEN Mrs. Henderson looks at him mid-November and totally claims him for the day where she’s hosting her brother’s family too. Except Dustin brags to Lucas and Lucas gets jealous so Steve then also has to show up at the Sinclair’s in the evening. Max is already there so Steve drives her home that night with leftovers. (Mike is very secretly butthurt about all of this and is really nasty to Nancy the weeks of thanksgiving and Christmas.)

(Robin’s family doesn’t DO thanksgiving but instead goes camping for the week. Robin hates this, and they wouldn’t let Steve join them even though he had his own tent so she hates it MORE. She tries to mutiny but her mom gives her these sad teary eyes and cries about Robin growing up too fast and robin’s fate is sealed. She and Steve instead have their own tradition of movies and junk food the weekend after, so Robin gets reintroduced real food again. So while Buckley’s aren’t on the thanksgiving rotation, Robin gets special Christmas privileges and Steve stays over on Christmas Eve.)

So by the time Eddie is in the picture, Steve already has standing expectations for his presence that’s not just a drive-by plate cleaning, and he’s kinda sad, he and Wayne don’t usually do much and Wayne has to work usually. But actually how dare he be sad, because Steve’s like “🤨 you’re coming too, stupid” and he Eddie and max go to each house like trick or treaters but for turkey.

Then Steve gets close with Eddie’s friends and they have to start splitting holidays like children of divorce.

One time Steve gets it in his head to hold friends giving the week before. He never does it again.

the thing is . . . if i was ga, watching without looking up interviews or anything, kinda like the way I watch the other shows, I would absolutely be expecting them to get back together, right? like just going by the story, it feels like they are getting back together because you ended the breakup like that, made character A spend the whole episode wanting to call and then showed character B typing and deleting a text. is it clowning or going by just how much the ga sees, we were never done in the first place? like the only damning thing about this breakup is what I can find in the interviews

[bucksboobs]

Unfortunately, because we know they filmed 809 already, and which means they wrote it before the backlash to the breakup, the earliest we can hope for a course correction is 810. Which kinda sucks because the way Lou talks, I know he isn’t going to be in 808 or 809. So we just kind of have to hope for either nothing new or something small.

hii werewolf tommy kinard.. welcome to my brain..

Thinking thoughts about the things season one Buck didn't think he was ready for in a relationship and now I'm giving myself some pain bc what if Tommy's trauma isn't helicopter crash. What if Tommy's dad is all alone in a hell of his own making and he gets diagnosed with something terminal and Tommy is the only one around to take care of him. What if Tommy hasn't talked to his dad in a decade but when he needs help there's just. No one else available. What if Tommy has to take on this burden that he doesn't want and his father hates it as much as he does but it's the only option for either of them.

And what if Buck is just there to support Tommy. What if he knows the burden, knows how much time it takes up, knows things will go awry. What if he understands that Tommy doesn't want to reconcile with the man but he's there for all the difficult moments where Tommy is so fucking angry and trying to reel it in.

What if Tommy's dad has a moment of clarity with Buck and it doesn't matter, it's too late, Tommy can't find it in him to forgive his dad. What if Buck gets that.

What if Tommy's dad passes without the closure you'd expect from 911 and that's just part of the story. It's part of Tommy's story, and Buck's now too, and all this talk of living dads and dead dads and bad examples of what it means to be a man and good examples of what it means to be a man are just there, and we have to deal with that.

What if Buck is sitting with Tommy in the aftermath, and Tommy is just so sorry Buck had to deal with all of his bullshit while he had so much of his own shit going on, and Buck is just like Hey, I'm not in this for pretty arm candy. This is a real thing, and real life throws you in the blender sometimes and shakes you out different.

And maybe resolution comes in the Gerrard arc somehow, or a Bobby arc, or a Phillip arc, or maybe it just doesn't come at all. Maybe life is just messy sometimes and we have to push our way through it.

The things that would happen if 9-1-1 made more sense and followed through with narrative threads vs what will actually happen plague me every day

Please I need to see actor Buck get bent over something in his trailer. I need more of this fic.

You thought I was nearly 55?!

NO!!!

Well, I don't know.

I'm not good with guessing ages.

Oh my God, Evan, this is a tragedy.

I said I didn't think you were 55!!

I might not recover from this.

YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME!

Can you come pull me out of my chair? It's time for me to take some pills for my sciatica.

I hate you.

Yeah, right. You're trying to keep me around forever.

I just don't want to have to get used to another asshole.

You love my asshole.

…

Wait. That sounded a lot better in my head.

who in their right fucking mind texts someone "K." WITH A PERIOD. that is some boomer bullshit

[discourse-evolved]

Oh it's been a while since I've broken this bad boy blog out of the sewers.

But hey, let's talk about the mcyt fandom.

Truly, joining Twitter in 2021 was one of the worst steps back for my mental health that I had in a while. Did I meet a ton of really amazing, incredibly talented writers and artists, much easier than I ever did on Tumblr? Yeah! Sure! But I also experienced such an incredibly deep sense of anxiety when every fucking move I made was potentially aired to hundreds of people, which made me realize why I hate Twitter so much.

Scrolling through Tumblr I don't feel any sense of legitimate fear if I like a post to go back to it later, because no one else can see that and accuse me of liking a potentially "problematic" artist or blog. I can spend some of my downtime scrolling through the intriguing, silly mess that is my dashboard and go back to that post that I felt was sus later to see what it was really about.

I understand that people are always nervous about interacting with people that they don't agree with things on. The problematic ones, the ones with weird and uncommon kinks, the ones that make people uncomfortable, but the sheer amount of rampant paranoia I saw within the mcyt fandom on twitter in 2021-2022 felt like the end of fandom as I knew it.

And with a fandom like mcyt, I get it! Dealing with real people and the characters built off of them and especially with content creators who are SO deeply entwined and connected to their audience is much more difficult terrain to traverse when it comes to the taboo.

But seeing the way that so many people got so caught up in wild witch hunts was pretty fuckin terrible too. An errant ao3 bookmark, an off-color comment, an idea from people who weren't familiar with the fandom at large and the content creators' different specific boundaries, and they would be attacked en masse.

I fuckin hated it. I hated it so much. But I couldn't say anything about it, even if I didn't agree with the person myself, because defending someone against the mass dehumanization from the rest of the fandom would mean that I went down with them.

And that, at its core, is something that deeply concerns and scares me. Because at the end of the day, who and what is fanfic, even problematic ones, hurting? No one who doesn't read it. And with a site like ao3 with tags and warnings and summaries, that should be happening less and less, if people just use it properly.

I'm not saying there weren't weird people in the fandom that I would prefer to not to interact with myself, and I'm not going to say that I people should be forced to interact with people who make them uncomfortable.

But, I am saying that far too many people in that fandom were ready to dehumanize anybody who stepped even slightly out of bounds, which is something that no one deserves.

I could really go on and on about this topic and the purity culture that exists within the mcyt fandom, but by god I'm not mentally ready for that rn. Just remember that weird people are people too and don't deserve to die because of fiction that they thought up/made art of/wrote down.

is it okay If i talk a bit about c!stagedduo on the dsmp final?

I watched this after seeing a clip from Essaintl's thread on twt. And It gave me the idea of also sharing some moments I found funny/cool of cstaggeduo in this stream. Bc I love them and I just like to share clips now I learned how to clip on youtube (the firsts are a bit out of order):

(1)

Dream talking about him and Punz beating Tommy on L'manberg idk but I found that so funny. "After we kicked your ass?" okay??

(2)

Tommy vs Punz the 324th duel bewteen blonds guys on the server

(3)

Sassy Dream my beloved and sad we never got to see Blondetrio working together but im sure they'd drive each other mad if they did or at least Tommy would.

(4)

I noticed this thanks to Essaintl. Dream turns to look at Punz two times while he says he'd sacrifice everything he loves so they can know more. I personally like to interpret it as Dream including Punz in that everything he loves. They have so many problems and just match each other's.

(5)

Im sorry Tommy but Punz killed it here XDD I mean...he's not wrong there's a reason Clingy are recurring to the nuke lol but god he was so funny for that.

(6)

I just love how defensive of their methods Punz's is like, at this point he just gets in the conversation to add to cDream's defense of their plan and lets him have the spotlight XD.

(7)

Dream turning to Punz again while afirming he will have forever to think about how much dying hurts. Idk I find it cute, there's a confidence that Punz will be on his side for that forever.

(8)

"I'm happy now" "I'd say Dream's always pretty happy" Guys that's the funniest shit ever said in this stream hahasgahsagsahsasgd yeah yeah he's so happy I believe you guys I believe you. Dream's happiness just goes to another school.

(9)

The iconic "Im his friend". I find interesting how Dream looks at Punz for a second in silence (tho for a second if im not hearing bad for one second he seems about to say "pun-" before Punz interrumpts him) in a almost coy manner after he says this, and then avoids looking at him in that same manner while asks Tommy "why are you trying to...ruin everything all the time?".

(10)

I just find this moment and Tommy telling the characther that didnt have a pov for most of a series and has be seen as just a monster for two years to let him look at him as peak minecraft roleplay moment.

(11)

I know it's supposed to be serious but I find this moment hilarious in a bittersweet way. They finally where getting somewhere with talking and then two literal seconds later they are about to die lol. I really loved the detail of Tommy turning to look at both Punz and Dream with a conflicted face and definetly grief knowing what's coming. I liked the detail he looks at both sad knowing all of them are gonna die.

(12)

Tommy trying to tell them both that's too late hits so hard I love it.

And that were all the clips but as a bonus I found this clip on Essaintl's thread where Dream tells cpunz about his objective of the server being one big family and Punz agreeing with him :D

And Idk seeing this It reminded me how messy and caothic these two are together and that's cute. Seeing Punz be supportive of the plan and Dream even when he's digging deeper on self destruction it's kinda sweet. Like both are good for each other in the worst way.

who: violet and tommy / @thirtecnth

where: the lake party

violet spots tommy lingering near the water's edge but not fully committing to stepping in as she's wading only ankle-deep within the water and she raises a brow at him. "water's not gonna bite you."
