Riku’s driving thoughts;

Excuse my bilingual ass this is literally how I think sometimes

If I wrote a fanfic/drew a musical comic with Naruto:

It would be a Nejiten fic however with the sprinkle of other couples. They’d be about 21 (19-20 for the non-team Gai members since canonically, Team Gai is a year older than rookie 9 with Tenten being the oldest with her birthday being March 9th) so like a college AU type of deal.

The boys;

Neji (21)- the bass player. Classically trained in stand up bass and can also play a mean clarinet. When singing his voice is raspy, and has great breath control for hard rock/metal. His voice equivalents are; Arankai, Corey Taylor (slipknot), Brian Welch (korn), Davey Havok (AFI). Mid to deep tone and can def scream puede hacerlo si fuera deadass about it.

Sasuke (20)- Lead vocals, keys/synth and Guitar. Trained also in violin, however switched to guitar to spite his parents. Sasuke is more of an alt-emo-pop punk type of guy. It’s giving Patrick Stump (Fall out boy), Brendon Urie (Panic! At the disco), Brandon Flowers (the killers), Alec Gaskart (All time low), Ryan Key (Yellocard). His octave is higher than Neji’s but he has range. His voice is a bit smoother and he can hold long notes impressively.

Naruto (20)-is def on guitar or drums. He likes making noise. He’s giving Beastie Boyz, Limpbiskit vibed, Tom DeLonge (Blink-182) But he can carry a tune for sure if he actually tried.

Rock Lee (21) is def on drums (if in the band). I don’t see him grabbing the mic but he can be the Travis Barker of the group LOL

Shikamaru (20) is an ex-member of the band who quit to focus on his studies. From time to time he does play with them if they need him it just to jam. I haven’t thought of voice equivalents yet but he’s be more back up. He’s studying to be a music engineer at Tenten’s parent’s company as a favor to their daughter’s friend.

For the ladies:

Tenten (21-22)- Guitar and/or drums for sure. Also classically trained in piano... Tenten can play almost any percussion instrument. She doesn’t sing much however, she does take the mic sometimes. Her voice equivalents would be a combination of Lily (Lilyisthatyou), Hailey Williams (Paramore), a touch of Avril Lavigne, a touch of Pink. I’m also feeling the new lead singer for Linkin Park, Emily Armstrong which Tenten could develop her vocals when she starts hanging around Neji more often.

Sakura(20)- lead guitar, when singing could have a possible combo of Vanessa Carlton, Taylor Swift, and Michelle Branch.

Ino (20)- would most likely be lead vocals and keyboard. She gives Natasha Bedingfield, Jojo, Cascada, Ellie Goulding vibes.

Hinata (19-20) - would be on bass like her older cousin, in fact was trained with him first in cello. She doesn’t grab the mic but her voice would be giving Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande (minus the whistle tone), Danity Cane, a very high register for Hinata frfr. But great for harmonizing.

Side ideas:

-Neji, Tenten, and Lee consistently host jam sessions and anyone is able to join, which is how the bands were formed. It started in Tenten’s garage back in high school.

-Neji had picked up singing as a side skill, really to impress Tenten who would always comment on how rich his talking voice was and whenever he’d hum or vocalize a scale in order to write a song as she jammed out on the drums or he would him scales as she practiced piano.

-Tenten believes she’s a shit singer, however Neji convinced her she had been trying to hard to sing at a higher octave than she should be. She worked with Neji to develop her style of singing (which is similar to his however slightly more range edgy for sure). Her confidence increased and she can sing and play drums. She finds every excuse to have Neji sing to her because yes her man should always sing to her like why wouldn’t he?

-Naruto joined in when he made friends with Sakura, who was friends with Ino…who knew Tenten who had a reputation for drumming. Had a sibling dynamic with Neji Tenten and Lee.

-Hinata was trained with Neji at a private music program for strings. He used to play with her however switched to electric bass and hasn’t looked back. Hinata practices the cello occasionally still, and has also picked up an electric bass like her cousin. Hinata is last to join the group having seen her cousin have so much fun stepping out of the classical realm of music.

-Sasuke, being friends with Naruto and Shikamaru, was dragged to a jam sessions and Naruto begged him to sing knowing Sasuke could carry a tune. Sasuke finds Neji to be a rival in terms of vocals, it’s stupid because Sasuke’s style is different than Neji’s but ya know how these two are 😤 the girls find it hilarious.

-Ino and Sakura had trouble finding roles in the band; they both wanted to be lead singer. However, the group was able to come to a compromise that they would randomize the set list and that would determine who sang lead for the night.

Socially;

-Neji and Tenten are usually always together. Their parents know each other through the music industry. Neji’s parents being on the business side of it and Tenten’s parents being producers.

-Lee and Tenten are neighbors and share a sibling dynamic with Tenten being the voice of reason.

-Tenten’s piercings are very attractive to Neji. He especially finds her dimple piecing a to be adorable, especially when she smiles. He will buy her jewelry often.

-Ino and Tenten give Chaotic energy; Tenten being Chaotic Neutral, Ino being Chaotic good. In other words they out in the streets and down for whatever.

-Sakura and Ino constantly have sing offs to see who is better. Tenten and Hinata find it amusing.

-Naruto and Tenten are usually seen with drumsticks in their pockets. Naruto prefers guitar, however he would be jamming either Lee and Tenten constantly.

-Neji and Hinata have a pretty good relationship; in fact Hinata looks up to Neji and tried to seek approval from him constantly, especially since they were always compared as children in their music abilities.

-Shikamaru, Neji, and Tenten will smoke/Vape together and just vibe in the studio.

-Each group would attend each other’s performances

-they all attend university/college. Neji and Tenten go to private uni, Ino Sakura and Hinata attend public uni (Hinata, due to not getting into a prestigious arts program). Sasuke, and Naruto (being gifted in guitar) are not in music majors, however attend public uni. Shikamaru is in a trade school program.

-Yes you do see correctly; Ino has a face tattoo. It’s very girly pop of her.

I’ll drop some more sketches soon; I’m tired lol

cheap décor and flavoured cheer ~ buddietommy (Rated T)

When Eddie flies back to El Paso, something goes terribly wrong.

A fic about hurt/comfort, nostalgia, Christmas and coming home.

AN ~ merry christmas to @christmassavestheyear <3 written for the @buddietommydaily exchange!!

Relationships: Eddie x Buck x Tommy, Eddie & Chris

Tags: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Family, Nostalgia, Christmas, Canon Adjacent/UA (Canon Divergence)

title is (of course) taken from: Christmas Saves the Year - Twenty One Pilots, which I had never heard before your url and now love

Read on AO3 (~4000wd)

But everybody wants to make it home this year

Even if the world is crumbling down

Cause everybody’s got somebody who’s got their name on a shelf

With cheap décor and flavored cheer

You rest assured, Christmas saves the year

cheap décor and flavoured cheer

There's a hole in Eddie's heart this year. There was always going to be, there has been for months, but as the smells of mint and gingerbread begin to fill the air and there's sleigh bells jingling around every corner, it gets harder and harder to tell himself that this is for the best. It's their season, is the thing, and by now Chris is usually begging him to put up the tree and angling for his schedule so they can plan an evening to watch The Island of Misfit Toys together. Who knows how it would go this year; the kid has grown out of Halloween, apparently, and barely cocked a smile for his own birthday, but still. Eddie has a faith he's not too keen to question, that there's something special about Christmas.

That's why he's got Buck setting up the tree anyway. Buck has been part of the tree ceremony for years now; he and Christopher have developed a highly pedantic, budding-Fire-Marshall-Chris arrangement about it and he and Tommy are but the vessels of their plan. Well, that and master untanglers of enough lights to run the Empire State Building. And choosers of the music, because there's only so much Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber he can take.

Speaking of which -

“Nope. Vetoed,” Tommy declares, hitting next before Mariah Carey can get more than one word out.

Buck pouts. “But-!”

“It's already been on twice today. No.”

“Fine. But tomorrow I'm calling the Gay Council and having your Gay Card revoked.”

Tommy rolls his eyes, smiling to himself as he resumes light-detangling duties. There's the strum of guitar and violins, an older carol rolling in, and a warm voice singing – almost lamenting -

“I'll be home for Christmas...”

“Well, come on now,” Buck protests. “This one's a bit morbid.”

“Leave it.” Eddie barely speaks, but Buck and Tommy's hands jump clear of the playlist. He can feel them watching him – their concern, their complexity – but he couldn't articulate this feeling if he tried. Not even to them. He hasn't heard this song in years and it takes him back in time; all the way back to Shannon driving him to the airport to ship out, and even though she's so pissed off she could scream, she makes him promise to come home. It takes him back to a picture he has of young Christopher and young Shannon, unwrapping something long forgotten at his parents' house, and to a terrible old video that still plays clearly in his mind; he's pretty sure it's this song playing as Shannon lifts Christopher, who's lifting the star, to the top of the tree.

It takes him back to I miss you all the time.

“... if only in my dreams.”

The song ends, and it's only then Eddie realises, he hasn't moved. His eyes are so full of tears the mantelpiece has lost all meaning and his voice cracks under the weight of realisation.

“I have to go.”

The room is silent. They don't protest.

“I'll tell Bobby,” Buck promises.

“I know a guy at Burbank,” Tommy offers. “Pack a bag. I'll make a call.”

Given the solemnity of the evening that follows, even Buck himself is surprised at the pep in his step the next day but honestly, it kind of feels like something's come unstuck. Like when the clouds dissipate on a muggy day and the humidity starts to lift. He pecks Tommy on the cheek and pulls a santa hat on as he leaves the truck, carols on his mind, and maybe it's too soon to be thinking about making tiny swords out of candy canes to battle Chris with over hot chocolate but hey, it's closer than they've been to it in a long time. Eddie will have taken off by now, and everything's going to turn the right way up again soon.

Unfortunately, it gets harder again as the morning ticks on with no news. All that time left to his own devices; to think about Eddie all alone in that plane seat, staring out the window, hurting. The worst thing is, it's not even a busy shift. He probably could have been spared after all, but it's too late now, and Eddie needs the space to process anyway, and Buck is totally fine about the fact that his barrage of encouraging text messages is sitting there, undelivered and unread. It almost makes it worth saying the q-word, just to give himself something to do.

“Say it and I will end you, Buckley,” Hen growls. She turns the page of her book with pointed coolness. “I have two kids. Karen's parents are coming. The Hans are Han-ing. This could be my only moment of silence for the next two weeks and I'm not having you Buck it up.”

“Bobby bought eggs this morning,” Chim hints. “You could make some loaf? Eh? I'm thinking banana pecan. Maybe some cinnamon? Spirit of the season and all?”

“I'll allow it,” Hen rules, and holds her mug up in the air. “Nog me.”

“Ha, ha.”

Buck glares, but he can't begrudge them their teasing. He is being a little melodramatic, after all. So as Bobby obligingly fills their cups, Buck slinks into the kitchen and fishes around in the cupboard for an apron. In all honesty, pummelling some dough would be really therapeutic right now. Maybe he'll make some of those pecan cherry pastry wreaths he saw the other night. It'll be good. Yeah.

Victorious, Chimney kicks back on the couch and switches on the TV. Almost immediately, he hisses a sharp breath.

“Ooh. Yikes.”

Buck catches the words plane and crashed and jumps to attention.

"Turn it up. What was that flight number?"

"It's out of Phoenix," Chim reassures him, but he obliges anyway: Hen has lowered her book, and Bobby paused in the doling out of non-alcoholic Christmas cheer. The scene unfolding on the screen looks like Hell, flaming debris careening out of the sky from every angle the journalists can find. The trucks do their best to hide the worst of it from the cameras, but they've been on the other side of those trucks enough times to know. The horror of it almost chokes Buck's voice.

"He had a layover."

Eddie wakes up alone and his head is pounding.

His mouth is full of burning sand, and when he tries to move – even roll over – his body screams in protest. His shoulder is damaged. Dislocated? His leg is broken, and his eyes refuse to fix on it but he's pretty sure that's bone. His weapon is gone, his patient is gone, his radio is gone, his chopper is gone. The sky is bright blue and clear and that's not right. His stomach broils and he's not usually a squeamish person but if he moves too fast he's going to lose his... lunch? When had he last eaten?

Why is he in civvies?

He digs around on his person for his phone. It's cracked, but thank God, it still works. The words on the screen jumble and blur until he gives up and speed-dials 1. He's expecting Shannon on the other line, or maybe his Abuela. He should remember. He can't -

A man picks up?

“Hello?”

Oh, it's Buck. He doesn't really know who Buck is, but at the same time, he knows right down to his bones. It's a blurry memory, like an aphasic dream, but he knows, knows, knows, it's Buck. It's overwhelming love and absolute trust and the man sounds absolutely wrecked on the phone.

“Eddie?” and then in the background - “Tommy, it's him. It's- something's wrong-”

It sounds like he's crying. Eddie frowns, and pinches his nose to hold his skull together. Love, love, love. And pain. Where's Shannon? Where's Chris?

“How'd you get this number? Where are you? I'm in Afghanistan right now.”

There's a different voice on the phone now. Deeper. Steady.

“No, you're not. Eddie. Baby, listen to me.”

“Tommy?” he guesses. All at once he feels more grounded in his body, and he instinctively flinches away from the feeling. His body hurts. His mind hurts. Shannon's dead, and he can't remember how or why or what day it is or – wait, baby?

“Listen to me,” Tommy repeats. “Take a deep breath, okay? You've been in a plane crash.”

“It was a helicopter,” he corrects. Although how Tommy knows is – is probably tied up with this concussion from Hell he's having right now.

“No. It wasn't. That was ten years ago, baby, it's 2024.”

Oh, he's definitely going to throw up.

They're gathered at South Bedford, a tableau of grief and relief with the shine and sparkle of Christmas laid bare around them like a ghost town. They're all quiet, listening to Tommy's half of the conversation on the other side of the door and piecing it together: something's wrong, but Eddie is alive. He's lost, and injured; confused, but conscious. He's alive. If nothing else, a first responder can work with that, so the shock of it all takes a back seat and in spite of everything, they rally.

Maddie and Athena get on the phone, liaising with Phoenix Search & Rescue to try and track Eddie's phone. Hen and Chim all but bury the jeep in tanks of water and gasoline, flashlights, bog recovery boards; anything they can find that might help in a desert rescue. Bobby sources everything official that he can: ID, insurance. Eddie's will and power of attorney. He prays with all his might it won't come to that. He's alive, after all, and that kid's survived some shit. By the Grace of God, this too.

It's Buck who has to call Isabel. He can't bear to call Chris. He can't let their first words after so long be... this. Especially not when he doesn't even know what's happened.

What if Eddie doesn't remember us? What if he doesn't remember Chris? Or Shannon, or why Chris left? Or, or, or... He keeps those to himself. They'll cross that bridge when they get there. Eddie is alive, and Buck anchors himself in that.

“Our Eddie is a fighter,” Isabel reminds him. “You will find him, mijo. You always do.”

There's so much more to it, Buck knows. The universe is so much more random, more cruel than who wants it enough and who doesn't. Still, he takes a deep, shuddering breath. If there's one thing he can count on in this world, it's Eddie's unbreakable willpower to get back to Christopher. Eddie and Tommy may roll their eyes when Isabel insists it's the blessing of the saints, but more and more Buck finds himself wondering.

He hangs up and sits on the bed in silence for a long moment. Tommy is moving quietly around the room, packing a change of clothes and a toothbrush for each of them and the bag looks so small in his hands – Buck can't help but be reminded of the night Chris left in the first place, and his heart aches anew. How long and in how many ways must their family be broken?

Tommy doesn't cry the same way as he does either. That is to say, he's less like a snotty wailing toddler and more like one of those grizzled war heroes who, just at the height of things, might let slip one solitary tear. He keeps it inside partly out of personality, and partly out of years of self preservation, but Buck knows what that hunch in his shoulders means; the way his breath goes short and shallow, like if he lets it in too deep the dam might break. The weight of the conversation with Eddie – confused, lost, injured Eddie, who is so miraculously close and yet so far – must be heavy on his mind, and Buck doesn't envy him that.

He walks up behind Tommy at the dresser, wraps his arms around him, and presses his cheek into the back of Tommy's shoulders. Tommy sinks into it, just a little.

“Ready?” Buck asks.

Tommy lets out a shaky breath. “No. You?”

“No.”

“Alright then. Let's bring our boys home for Christmas.”

Eventually, Tommy has to hang up and Eddie is alone again. His phone battery is already at only 13% and honestly, once he gets out of this, he's going to call Steve Whateverhisnameis personally and have a good rant about built in obsolescence. The funny thing is, when he'd left for Afghanistan he'd only just invested in a phone that could do emojis. Chris had thought it was funny, and would steal Shannon's phone regularly to send him strings of picture nonsense. He hadn't understood international SMS rates at the time. He was so little.

He's not little anymore. That much, Eddie knows, even as his brain struggles through the fog of concussion to untangle the order of his life. He clutches the St Christopher medallion around his neck. It's got him back before. It can do it again.

Well, not it. Maybe Buck's rubbing off on him. It's just a piece of metal, it has no power. Only he does.

He does.

Even concussed to Hell, lost and broken and sore and alone, he has power.

“Get up.” It's Buck. He just knows. He's barely seen him, hasn't even heard him in his waking life but he can conjure the image of him. Big beautiful eyes, and that bruise – no, a birth mark. Oh. Buck.

He grits his teeth and pulls his body from the sand, and he bites his cheeks and howls, but he persists. It's getting dark. Hopefully there's no coyotes out here or he's in trouble. What there is, though, is miscellaneous plane debris and that at least bodes well for strapping his pathetically mortal body back together and getting out of this joint.

“There,” Tommy's voice this time. It guides him to a set of airplane chairs upended in the sand – very possibly the same ones he'd been strapped into that very morning. Between the belts and rigging there's enough to cobble something together, and the Tommy-vision in his mind smiles at him just like he does when they used to wrestle. “Come on, Sergeant. You've got this.”

Not if he doesn't find water soon, he doesn't, but one step at a time.

How far is he from Phoenix anyway?

He pulls up the maps on the phone and it won't load properly – because of course it won't, because these bloody things never do when you need them – but it does promise him the general direction that Phoenix is somewhere to his north-west. Twenty something miles? He's done worse. At least it's dark enough out here to do some starlight navigation, and he's rusty but he's pretty sure it's at least sort of right. Right?

(He had to be told what year it is, but sure, he can navigate by starlight for the first time in a decade, to and from a place he's never been. What could possibly go wrong?)

At least if he finds the heart of the plane wreckage, that will be a start. It's got to be crawling with rescuers by now – the first twelve hours are crucial, and he doesn't know why he knows that with such certainty but he does. And even if it isn't, Buck and Tommy will find him. They'd search to the ends of the earth; he knows that with certainty too. God, he must really love them. He must really be loved, by them.

Eddie doesn't remember how long it's been since the last time he prayed, and not just because of the concussion. He takes a moment to kiss the medallion, and closes his eyes. It's kissing Christopher goodnight, kissing him goodbye; it's kissing Buck after a long day or Tommy before the start of one. It's kissing in the kitchen, the car, the bed, the rain; pride, love, sorrow, heat. It's kissing in hospital gowns, at the school gates, a grazed knee, under the mistletoe – oh, and it's Christmas. He loves Christmas. He smiles.

Then he grits his teeth, and takes a step.

Buck and Tommy switch off driving through the night, and napping in fits and starts. It's not a complete waste – both of them are accustomed to haphazard sleep schedules and high adrenaline conditions, after all – but once the S&R camp is in sight that goes a long way to settling them. It's starting to feel more like they're actually doing something.

By special dispensation, or by the sheer exhaustion and energy of everyone here, they search out the War Room. There's a table in the middle of it with a map laid out, and tiny toothpick markers bearing yellow flags (debris), green flags (survivors) and red flags (the other kind).

“Not bad,” Tommy remarks, “all things considered.”

Buck double checks the scale marker. “That's the search field? It's huge!”

“Would have been an in-air breakup,” Tommy explains. “The debris can fall for hundreds of miles. We're actually pretty lucky.”

Buck frowns at the sea of red; sixty four casualties to just over a dozen found survivors so far. He's always struggled with S&R on this scale; in his heart of hearts it's the main reason he'd probably struggle at a station like Harbor or Mountainside. Not all his wins are clean, but not all his losses are... like this. It doesn't feel lucky.

“Hey! Diaz's boys, right?” They're greeted by a tall, broad, Black man in a navy blue flightsuit who greets them by first gripping Tommy by the forearm, and then Buck. “Anderson. I've heard great things. We've got a bird ready to go for her next run - if you're up for it, Firefighters.”

They share a glance, and outside, there's a crunch of gravel. A car pulling up. A familiar voice calls - “Buck? Tommy?” - and Anderson's face can't help but fall a little at the recognition on his fellow firefighters' faces.

“Who's that?” he asks, almost against his better judgement.

“Eddie's kid,” Tommy explains. Buck's already halfway out the door, mumbling excuses, they shouldn't be this far in, I'll go get them... but when Tommy and Anderson follow him out, he's got his arms around Chris like they've never been apart; kneeling in the bitumen with Chris's face pressed into his neck. Isabel waves over at Tommy.

“Thomas! Come here. Where are you going?”

He points at the sky. “To look for him.”

She clutches her hands over her heart. “Then, what are you waiting for? Bring him back.”

“Yes, ma'am.”

He takes it to heart, and as Chris and Buck pull apart at last, Buck apologetically peeling away to join him, he makes them both that promise too. We'll bring him back.

It feels like Eddie's been walking forever.

Maybe he has, because the sun is coming up and he's still in the middle of the desert. His mouth tastes like sand and blood and he can't keep weight off his bad leg anymore. He collapses, and doesn't bother dragging himself to the scraggle of a bush that passes for shade out here. There's a small copse of trees it feels like he's been walking toward forever. He'll never make it. He'll be found out here, or he won't.

He lifts his phone and squints through his splitting headache at the screen.

4:58am

Battery: 3%

He can't tell where he is or how far he's walked, but anyway - here goes nothing.

“Dad?”

Christopher's voice through the phone feels like sweet rain unleashing on him. He closes his eyes, drinking it in.

“Hey, Superman,” he greets weakly. “Miss you.”

“I miss you too,” Chris says.

Distantly he's kind of aware of the sound that is probably Chris crying. Stubborn kid, hip teenager doesn't want him to know that? Doesn't want to burden him while he's lying out in the Arizona desert waiting to die. It's a very Diaz move, and it's pride and pain at the same time.

“Chris...” Eddie mumbles. “I haven't got much battery left. If I disappear on you it's- it's not by choice, okay?”

He tries not to think of any other disappearing acts he might not have a choice about. There'll be time for that later, once the catabolysis really kicks in. For now, it's Chris. Only Chris. The thing is, though, he didn't really think about getting this far. There's so much to say, but now that he has the chance to say it, it all feels impossible. Silence stretches like the hundreds of miles that lay between them. Chris asks – muted, aside - “What do I do?” and another voice answers, “Keep him talking.”

Chris takes a deep breath.

“Do you remember that year you finally took me skating?” he muses. “You were so scared, but I insisted, and when I fell over you insisted even more til I got back up. I loved that penguin thing, remember, the balance thing? What was his name?”

“Mr Frosty?” In spite of himself, a smile touches Eddie's lips. He does remember Mr Frosty: a plastic penguin skaters' aid almost bigger than Chris was, with a green plastic scarf. He's pretty sure he still has that picture in his wallet, or down the back of the couch, somewhere long gone.

“Mr Frosty!” Chris cheers. “Mr Frosty says don't give up, okay Dad?”

“I won't, buddy. Never,” Eddie lies.

“Good. 'Cause... I want to spend Christmas with you. I wanna go and see the lights.”

“In El Paso?”

“No. At home. Grandma said no but Bisabuela says I can since we're already halfway. Mrs Phillips always does it so well, doesn't she? The lights are no good around Grandma's this year. And... they're not as good without you.”

Chris pauses after his confession, breathing a little hard. “Nothing's as good without you, Dad. That's the real reason I didn't want to do Halloween. Like, it's cringe, but if I can't do cringe shit with my Dad then what's the point?”

“...Don't swear.”

Chris laughs, and Eddie laughs a little too. If he had a single solitary drop of water left in his body he'd probably cry, too, but Chris pushes on.

“You know that song, I'll be home for Christmas? When I was a kid, it was my favourite song. Mom played it a lot and she'd always tell me, it's about a soldier who misses his family. It always reminds me of you. Even though you're not in the army anymore, when you're at work, or when bad things happen, I think of that song. And how you always come home. I need you to come home, Dad. Please. I'm sc-”

Eddie's phone dies, and he's thrown back into crushing silence. He grits his teeth and fights with the thing, but no magic combination of buttons will magic into it a few extra seconds of life. He's got a fire in his belly now though, and he's gotten further on less. He hauls himself to his feet.

Then, from the silence, comes a horrendous noise, and he almost for a second yells at it to shut up and leave him in his misery; he's got problems to solve, places to be – and then it hits him. That sound is a helicopter, for real this time. It's come for him. He's saved. Even better than that, he recognises the lanky form galloping across the desert toward him.

“Buck?”

“EDDIE!”

Buck ducks under his shoulder, scooping him up before he falls, and they hobble the rest of the way back to the chopper together. Tommy is waiting to help them both back inside, with the biggest eye-crinkling smile on his face. He hands Eddie a bottle of water, and Eddie downs almost the whole thing in one breath. If this is a fever dream it's doing one hell of a job.

“Eddie, sit down,” Tommy insists as they take off again. Buck still hasn't let go. “Let me check you out.”

He shakes his head.

“First I gotta radio back. Tell my son I'm coming home.”

yes, and? - Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande's "Yes, And?" music video was a stroke of genius, challenging perceptions of celebrity culture with playful wit and insight. The opening scene cleverly tackled the notion of celebrities as mere entities for public consumption, highlighting the absurdity of expecting them to debunk every internet rumor.

One standout moment was when a critic delivered the iconic line, "I read it on the internet, so it must be true," serving as a cheeky reminder to fans to take online gossip with a grain of salt. The video's portrayal of Ariana being met with adoration from a crowd further emphasized the power dynamics at play in celebrity fandom.

The incorporation of statues as symbolic representations of Ariana's artistry was a masterstroke, asserting her ownership of her creative expression. The nods to her past eras added a nostalgic touch, allowing fans a brief chance to reminisce about the “old Ari” they desperately miss (cue the sad violin) and showing them a glimpse into the evolution of her persona.

The attention to detail in the choreography was mesmerizing, showcasing Ariana's precision and control. Moments like the graceful foot slide exuded a sense of tranquility amidst the energetic performance.

The deliberate changes in lighting throughout the video signified a shift in tone, mirroring the intensity of Ariana's artistic expression. The warm color palette evoked a sense of passion and depth. Things were getting heated!

A subtle theme emerged of transitioning from dislike to admiration, accompanied by a period of tension and resistance. Ariana's calm composure throughout the video captivated me. It highlighted her unwavering confidence in both herself and her music, affirming her belief in her enduring impact, irrespective of critics' perceptions or judgments.

The final scene, where critics were seen leaving ecstatically, brought the narrative full circle, reinforcing the message of resilience and self-assurance. It was a powerful statement from Ariana, asserting her control over her own narrative and artistic vision.

In summary, "Yes, And?" was a triumph of creativity, signaling a bold new chapter in Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine era. She wasn't afraid to use her craft to set the record straight and assert her boundaries, and I was here for that energy! Don’t play on her name!
