Hi Brie!!! How have you been? I've missed you! I'm sorry I wasn't around lately. I have to catch up with you posts. I hope you're doing well! I've missed you! - 💎💎💎

i missed you so much 😭 i thought you were gone forever 😭😭😭 I posted like a little “where is my 💎💎💎 anon?” A few days ago but i got embarrassed and deleted it 😰

I’m fine! I’ve been pretty sad these days (between you and me) but I just got back to work and it’s been fine so I can’t complain too much! How have you been? Still letting work kill you?!

how it feels to not believe in love anymore.

I find it so annoying when people act like Edwin pulled all the boys besides the one he wanted (Charles) because Charles is His Person in a profoundly meaningful way. Like he has always had him he will always have him no matter what form that takes.

Like, even in an unlikely world where Charles never desires a romantic relationship with Edwin, their story is not a tragedy. It baffles me that some people think that being loved so much that "there is no one else I'd go to Hell for" is a misfortune

True Loves Kiss ( when kissing the messiah/the anti-christ please be cautious. though it may draw you out of the lonely it could also lead to severe facial scarring, but hey, you score either way!)

okay but LISTEN nearly every young female has done that 'wardrobe overhaul' were you change everything about yourself to fit 'society' and when penelope is standing in that dancing hall watching the other gentlemen and ladies dancing, and stealing kisses on the dancing floor, and she smooths down her dress and fidgets with this deeply dissatisfied and upset look on her face because despite the change of wardrobe and despite the shift to better herself nothing has changed. it's just so relatable!!!! because you can fully understand how she is feeling, that overwhelming stomach dropping moment that despite the prettiness of the dress, the change of colour, she's still in the background completely overlooked and i just cannot wait to see that shift and colin finally fucking realises what was in front of him all along and makes her feel...beautiful.

Your fic has given me "sees Bill as an actual rounded character now" disease so all of the funny fanarts that reduce him to just the pathetic ex guy or to looser idiot triangle i found funny before annoy me slightly now and I'm blaming you

that's honestly hilarious because I'm having the opposite experience

I wasn't deep in Gravity Falls fandom during the peak Tumblr Sexyman Bill Cipher years—I watched the show one time and forgot about it for ~4 years—but I was close enough to see it happening on my dash. And the suave, sophisticated, infinitely in-control Bill characterization was ubiquitous throughout tumblr—the "tailor-made to dom in an x reader fic" characterization where 90% of the emotions he demonstrates are "smirking" and "brooding but in a cool way." (those are emotions now.) Some works would go as far as to say that Bill's mind was simply too alien to be relatable to a human. Most of the works featuring him with Ford depicted Ford as completely enthralled with Bill, naively worshiping the ground he floats over, while Bill was usually depicted as cool, distant, disinterested, at best faintly amused by his human toy. In fanworks like that, the idea that Bill could possibly have been distraught by losing hold of Ford was unthinkable.

And that was common enough—the cool, aloof villain—that it's jarring to go from absorbing that via osmosis for years to rewatching the show and remembering oh right, he's a bit of a dweeb that hollers at people through sock puppets and freaks out when the cops bust in on his red solo cup party.

By the time I started my fic in 2023 the sexyman Bill had died down enough that I found other folks exploring his goofy side, but it still seemed like any time I ducked in on ao3 looking for Bill-centric works, I still saw echoes of that old fanon characterization more often than not.

So for me? It's been great seeing fanworks depicting Bill as an emotionally devastated, blubbering mess over losing his favorite pawn. It's been great seeing fanworks that allow him to be a loser, a failure, a dork, sometimes bumbling or in over his head or sticking his foot in his mouth. Hell yeah! This is what I've been missing for years!

Maybe it'll get annoying eventually but right now it just feels like it's finally balancing him out.

buck tells tommy he gets jealous easily. buck has a history of relationships with women who already have well-established priorities in their lives, who don't compromise that for him. from the get go he feels like he's competing for affection and being left behind. tommy keeps showing up for buck like it's a given. like he comes first and it's the most natural thing.

tommy tells buck he's jealous of how the 118 has become a family. buck is the beating heart of that family, the glue that keeps them all together, the emotional core.
