okay california is not nearly as dangerous as 9-1-1 makes it seem!!! they just need to keep upping the stakes bc it’s been 7 seasons lmao

as a born and raised californian:

- the last time i heard about a tsunami happening was like the one in japan ages ago. it’s not really an actual problem for california it’s just that all the beach-y areas have “tsunami evacuation route” signs in case of an emergency so people know where to go in case of an emergency but they’re like tornado shelters yk they’re just in case and according to google theres only been one “tsunami” (in 2011, it was more like bad flooding than at all close to 9-1-1s tsunami it just caused property damage, no one died) since the 1960s

- we don’t get hurricanes bc our oceans are really cold! shoutout to the icy alaska currents! the worst we get is bad rainstorms and real strong winds and like. even then the problem isn’t the wind it’s pg&e our electric and gas mfs BECAUSE THEYRE INCOMPETENT AS FUCK. (pg&e hate is strong in california) ahem n e ways the only time a hurricane made landfall in california was in the 1930s. we might get bad storms time to time but like. it’s also balanced out with drought yk so we’re used to it

- and finally earthquakes. yes we have a lot like A Lot a lot but theyre really weak lmao like we don’t even feel them most of the time. but being on fault lines we have super special earthquake infrastructure that helps minimize earthquake damage as much as possible by moving with earthquakes instead of getting their shit rocked by them (which is actually a whole unit in middle school science for californians lol). the last time i remember an earthquake actually messing with anything past a lil shaky shaky was a couple years ago there was one strong enough to knock shit off shelves and shit in the area my brother lives in but there wasn’t any damage past yknow the shit that was knocked off shelves and whatnot. honestly compared to the snowmageddon the sierra nevadas had last year it wasn’t really disastrous yknow

- and finally high population density. tbh i don’t have hard info on this bc yknow it’s not like a natural disaster but it’s not that different from any other big cities. i am personally not an la girlie (la metro area vs the rest of socal rivalry coming in for the win) so i can easily tell you why la sucks <3 but it’s like every metro area there are safer areas than others and if you have street smarts, some pepper spray, a tall white boy, and/or enough local knowledge you’ll be fine. like san francisco for example if you aren’t alone, you stay out of the tenderloin if you don’t have the local street smarts, and you don’t do anything stupid (like walk around abandoned alleyways, don’t pay attention to your surroundings, don’t obviously carry around stealable shit (like fancy cars or purses etc) willy nilly, etc) you can have a great time

anyways yeah california isn’t that scary don’t let 9-1-1 give it a bad rap!! personally i prefer not to have snow, hurricanes, and jacuzzi temperature oceans but i might be biased <3 also socal has killer mexican food and great weather so it’s a win win

(also don’t base your opinion of california on la we aren’t all la i promise san diego is the superior major socal city fr)

I absolutely adore 9-1-1. It's My comfort show. I've watched it like two times all the way through not counting watching snippets with my parents.

But this show is not good when you have anxiety. Especially if you have anxiety over natural disasters and such.

I had to ground myself on my first attempt at a watch through because I watched the plan episode in season one when my boyfriend was on a plane. That did not go well. For me. My boyfriend was fine. I was just a nervous wreck.

I thought I had gotten over the anxiety the show causes but as I'm riding in a car (....I might be a tad late to getting my driver's licence shhh) all I can see is all the things that could go wrong which is heightened by the show. By a lot.

The cruise ship arc is not helping one but haha. I am already terrified of the ocean. Have been since I was six and saw images of the destruction Hurricane Katrina created. I will not be stepping foot on a cruise ship or the ocean unless I'm dead and I can't physically stop them.

Also California feels like a death trap?? Like with hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes PLUS high density population that probably leads to more crime and more violent crime?? The show has a solidified my fear is the state and y'all will never catch me there haha.

I digress, am I the only one that struggles with balancing their anxiety while watching the show? Like I love this show and I will not stop watching it, but I'm just more aware of what all can go wrong how easily people can lose the ones they love.

fuck 

ok at this point it seems like i’m really being a hoe bc like I GUESS Alex fr wants to be a thing but then we have Kendrick over here asking when I’m coming back and that he’ll see me when I come back, wants to meet up at Marshmello and Jauz but idk is her even worth?

The reason why I’m conflicted and have them both available well like ok 1) Kendrick and I have been talking longer obviously but I’ve only met up with him like twice and he’s very inconsistent with his words. he didn’t really prioritize “us” I guess and I felt like I was waiting on nothing. It just fucked me up when he was basically making me miss him and whatever is “us” during Christmas and NYE. He even is like making sure when I come back now and wants to meet now and be ‘ravebae’ ugh idk im so confused with him. The reason why I’m still like having hope is obviously I’m still attracted to him. He makes me laugh but like he doesn’t really know about my depression and anxiety and I don’t really know much about him either. He’s older (which lol I like older guys that’s just straight fact), but yeah he doesn’t treat me like anything special like idk where I stand in his life at all and we don’t have a lot in common besides going to raves

Then there’s Alex. let’s discuss the cons before the good lol. First lol he’s younger than me. He lives in socal and he’s not going to school. Ok ya Kendrick doesn’t go to school either but he has a stable job and has his life together while Alex is figuring his life. I shouldn’t put that as a con but it’s just something to consider ya know. But he does treat me nicely, he’s introduced me to a lot of his friends and he thinks a lot. We have a lot in common and he likes that I’m a big nerd but still party I guess. ALSO HE’S A FUCKIN AQUARIUS WE COMPATIBLE BRUH. I’ve only known him for like 2 weeks but he really wasn’t playing around when he said he isn’t a fuckboy. idk I have to see how this goes bc at this point like yeah I’m attracted to him but it isn’t like how I was instantly attracted to Kendrick??

At this point I’m just gonna flow with it. I don’t even know if I want something serious rn and I have no idea what either of them want. I’m not sure if Kendrick is really going to Beyond or not and where everything is going. so I’m just gonna go with everything rn and see how it all plays out when I actually start school
