good things happen to good people. except this is sports and in sports, fate is a bitch

What’s wrong babe? You’re thinking about Glinda’s face before she is handed the torch to light the funeral effigy of her friend? Her best friend who was fundamental to the woman she has become? The woman that she abandoned at the most pivotal moment of their lives in an act of cowardice that she has spent the rest of her life running from? Her best friend that, through her own lack of action when it counted most, is widely believed to have deserved her murder?

I'm not normally one to do anything more than lurk on social media. But 2 days ago I got properly introduced to omegaverse content after being to intimidated for a while, yesterday I discovered Let Me Try, and now I am tearing through LINK content like a rabid dog.

So uh

Thanks?

I still wanted to ask some questions if thats okay.

What are canon ages of the boys at the time of Close your Eyes and Lock Me In?

Do you have an idea of a time gap between those two stories? They seem to be the main points of reference of the timeline

Hello! Yayy, LINK's caught another one!! You're very welcomee heheh<3

Like all the other specifics for the stories, their ages / locations / accents etc. are a bit vague on purpose. I like to leave the room for everyone’s own imagination based on what they’re familiar with. It makes things a bit fuzzy for the timeline sometimes, but I just prefer having the blurred reality instead of basing it on real places and tracking a firm timeline.

But generally, I eyeball the gap between CYE and LMT to be maybe a couple of years.

The later on in the timeline we get with the newer published parts, I’ve been thinking that Kizzy, as the oldest of the four, are now getting closer to the mid-twenties mark and maybe over. 

The age order is: Isac as the oldest (by two critical weeks🤺), then Kit, Liam’s a year younger, and then Nathan. -> Nat’s age difference to the others & the gap between the stories could technically vary +/- an extra year or so, depending on whatever length of uni you’d want to imagine.

So basically, the canon is vague and they are all twenty-ish something in CYE and LMT xx

There’s a harrowing sadness to Krow that I’m sure of with the bits of information we do know abt him

[musicals-and-mushrooms]

so ive been having a bit of a hyperfixation/celebrity crush on david tennant lately if you couldnt tell, and as a teenage girl i feel this is pretty normal. But i was talking to my dad about david tennant bc ifc and he starts going like oh its not good to be a homewrecker and stuff...

THIS GUY THOUGHT I WAS LEGITIMATELY SERIOUSLY GOING TO TRY TO MARRY DAVID TENNANT

HE IS OLDER THAN YOU I JUST THINK HES A GOOD LOOKING ACTOR WHO IS IN SHOWS IM OBSESSING OVER

Anyways yeah thats my day im gonna go rewatch tlovm because i found out david tennant was in it

[nite-puff]

Kyoko Kirigiri Eddie Valiant

OKAY- so i’ve definitely thought of this. but she has to be live action. she has to be fan casted real person while mondo and taka are animated. just to keep in line with the movie.

also would the dead brother be jin??? or her grandfather??? i’m thinking maybe grandfather because he was also a detective. “i don’t work for toons. a toon killed my grandfather.”

also exploring a taka and kyoko buddy cop duo-like dynamic is funny, especially considering if taka is trying to get kyoko to let loose and laugh for whatever reason.

also alcoholic kyoko…. hmm…

If there's one thing I know about my new favs Fabien & Valentino, it's that they get married-

And when they do (since I love them both), they drive around the streets of Ahmad's hometown in a hotwired 1965 vintage Lancia Flavia they got off some rich asshole who has 15 other cars, after the wedding ceremony.

Their afterparty would be at a beach and they'd have gelato as a substitute for cake, and they'd invite the Monaco Heist crew in. And when Fabien throws a bouqet- Anton catches it.

I can see everyone having a nice time. Because weddings CAN be nice.

FabiTino are just like that, dude.

The I feel like she sees me line being said to Eddie who is the person that truly sees Buck for all that he is. Are we supposed to take this line at face value which would indicate piss poor writing because they needed to rush to a horrible ending or do we take it as Buck being an unreliable narrator? What was the audience supposed to interpret from Buck saying that, were we truly supposed to believe him or we supposed to be pissed at Buck for saying this to the one person that truly sees Buck?

Good morning to me, I guess.

I'm assuming you haven't really seen people's reactions in the fandom on tumblr because I feel like I saw this said in quite a few posts going around, but you are absolutely not supposed to take this line at face value. I'm surprised that people think you should. 9-1-1 has from the beginning had a habit of turning friendships into romantic relationships (Bathena and Madney) and taking their time with these things rather than having an instalove situation. Even Karen and Hen, who meet when they're set up on a date together, don't instantly fall in love. I do not think they would set Eddie or Buck up for an endgame relationship with a woman by having them date that woman immediately, even if they didn't plan to make Buddie canon.

Buck is clearly struggling post-death. He's lost and once again looking for the answer from a romantic partner. He did a lot of growth in regards to his family relationships this season but not his romantic ones. Remember, his couch ended up destroyed and he asked his latest girlfriend to pick the new one out for him. Again. He's still not picking his own damn couch. After being unable to sleep on the one his mom gave him but passed out instantly on Eddie's where he ran to feel safe.

If people think this is all, somehow, an accident or the writers are doing this without knowing what they're doing, then I can't help you. Do you also think the symbolism I put into my fanfics are a total accident? Do you guys think I picked the name of the poem "Fuchsia Emerald Alizarin Rose" just because the colors are fun and they accidentally spell out F.E.A.R. or do you think maybe I did that absolutely 100% on purpose and was waiting for someone to realize?

Buck saying that to Eddie is 100% supposed to make the audience raise their eyebrows. Especially when we see Eddie's reaction. He's confused and he's hurt and he's annoyed. Eddie then spends his next few lines showing Buck (and us) that he sees Buck. Buck misses it, it goes right over his head, but the audience is shown that Buck is wrong and Eddie sees him.

I think there was a lot of internal stuff going on behind the scenes way high up the ladder that meant Buddie didn't happen this season. No, I don't mean that in a tinhatting way, I just mean that they knew Fox wouldn't renew them, they didn't know if they'd get picked up somewhere else, Fox hasn't promoted or cared about this show the way it has its other shows in a while, and I think it's pretty clear there was shuffling and changes going on with 6B. So I think things had to be put off. Similar to the pandemic, where I genuinely wonder what kind of season four we would've gotten if we'd had the full 18 episodes and hadn't had to work around Covid. I think that when we know there was a big shift going on behind the scenes, we need to have some grace and patience in how that will effect the story that's told on screen.

But I think that this default to "everything good we see on our screens is an accident and the writers are making shitty choices" is a horrible bad faith argument, and it's exhausting. Aren't you exhausted? I'm exhausted. Fandom shouldn't treat the writing and production team like their enemies any more than the writing and production team should treat the fans like their enemies in some kind of war they have to win (looking at you, GoT showrunners).

We are supposed to be annoyed that Buck is missing the point. We are supposed to see Buck's yearning to be a husband and a father, and how he's missing what's right in front of him. We are supposed to put two and two together and see that Eddie was hurt by Buck's words, that Eddie sees Buck, that Eddie is Buck's safe place, and that Eddie in that moment decided he might not have a chance with Buck and needs to move on, because previously we saw Eddie admit he wants romance again but he doesn't want to go out on dates, we saw his aunt say she met her husband through work, we saw him say 'we have time' and then we saw him immediately after Buck tells him about this new girl who "sees him" flee to visit his mother and then immediately actually try dating. On a meta level this is also because Eddie needs confidence in himself as a romantic partner and needs some more experience under his belt before he's ready to take the plunge with Buck, but in Eddie's mind, I think it's pretty clear he feels Buck will never want him back and he's trying to find the love he wants somewhere else, even if his heart is still Buck's.

So that's what I think. I think it's not explicitly spelled out for a few reasons, but frankly if one of them was a woman we wouldn't need it explicitly spelled out and personally I kinda like that it's not. Something that annoys me with M/F pairings is the constant "we all know you two like each other" talks from third parties that half the time aren't about the characters but are about the audience, to either tell the audience SEE THEY LIKE EACH OTHER THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT or to give the audience some fanservice while the characters aren't ready to get together. I don't need to be pandered to that way, thank you, so I'm a fan of the slightly more subtle approach that I, personally, see going on with Buddie.

If you or anyone else disagrees with me and feels it was just "piss poor writing" then that's entirely your right. I'd just appreciate it if people who feel that way would stop watching the show, and stop putting their complaints into the inboxes of people who clearly do enjoy the show.

TL;DR - You answered your own question, Buck is an unreliable narrator (and always has been) and we are supposed to be frustrated he said this to Eddie who has proven time and again (and does so in that very scene) that he sees Buck.

i just. if you're gonna write a morally grey or villainous character i feel like you have to take accountability? not in like a puritanical 'you need to be self-flagellating all the time to make it clear you don't agree with their actions and self-deprecate your terrible taste in muses or else you're a bad person too.' i mean own that shit. it's rp, not only have fun with it (so long as you're mindful of trigger tagging/respecting your partners imo but you do you im not a cop) but also embrace why you wanted to play that sort of character. if you constantly water down their actions with 'they have Trauma' to try and justify your muse choice or bc you can't stand the thought of your character being anything but right, maybe step back for a minute.

like i have villains where i look at their precise mix of 'fucked up' and go 'oh something happened to you, you do not occur naturally in the wild' but i'm not about to write 2k apologia about how h*nnibal/maxwell/crane/julia/ard*n/homare/danae are suddenly above reproach because they had something happen to them in the past. one, that devalues and high-key godmods my partners muses who might endure Things at their hands because i feel entitled to my muse being right/loved. two, if you want to write a morally correct and upstanding muse why in the hell are you writing a morally grey or villainous character. three, a character's trauma can be an explanation but so long as the character is in total control of themselves it cannot be an excuse.
