more of my dreams for s8

(mainly for bucktommy im ngl - i love them and they're rotting my brain)

TRIVIA NIGHT. with everyone from the 118 and their partners but buck and tommy are on a team and it quickly becomes clear that they are an absolute menace to society when paired together (like we already know tommy attends a trivia night - let him match buck's energy - i want him deeply passionate about winning)

buckytommy dinner w/madney - we see the like neatly laid table, clearly set up for a grown up dinner only its just maddie and chim sat there and it pans round to buck and tommy having been pulled into playing tea party, or ponies, or smth with jee bc she wanted their attention and buck is physically incapable of saying no to her (the same way tommy cant say it to him 😜) (tho lets be real - he was playing princesses either way) (chim is just thrilled with the blackmail/mockery martial he is gathering)

muay thai lessons - only it quickly becomes clear buck hates it (idk in my mind buck is like innately opposed to violence. he'll put himself between two people but he'll never be the one to throw a punch. that's just how he is)

he does however very much enjoy watching tommy and eddie spar (i want full bridgerton levels of pining/horniness (think daphne at the boxing match))

more hen/karen

specifically more of henren's private investigation firm™ - i want them all up in councilwoman ortez's business (but generally just more henren. HAPPY HENREN.)

this one technically kind of follows on from my last list of dreams but i want athena to discover henren's and also bobby&michael's "investigations" (just picture her expression. her disbelief that she puts up with these well-intentioned idiots. it would be glorious)

and finally - more seriously - bobby retirement/promotion???? most people probs hate that but i kind of feel like the 118 are all kind of stagnant at the moment? so the only way to keep them together is to move bobby on 😞 idk maybe we can just have food-truck!bobby

Well, I *almost* ruined belated in-law Thanksgiving.

Some context- I am a teacher. My sister in law is a teacher. My mother in law was a teacher. My sister in law's sister in law (my husband's sister's husband's sister) is a teacher.

And my sister in law's mother in law *votes Republican.* I know this. We generally avoid the subject at family gatherings. We are not so close that she feels comfortable breaching Southern Hospitality protocols to make it an issue. We get by.

But here's the thing. Karen (her name really is Karen) asks me how the school year is going. Not great, I inform her. The teacher shortage has been somewhat disastrous at my district (some of which is national and state factors, some of which could have been mitigated at a local level and werent.)

And she's like "they've got to do something to help yall. They need to pay you better or something."

But Karen, I explain, *they*, the people in charge *cough*, don't WANT to help. This is what they want. It's sabotage. Public education isn't profitable. They want to make it awful for us so they can push for vouchers and funnel money into for-profit private schools.

But, she says, what will happen to the kids who can't go to private schools? Who private schools won't take? (I credit her daughter for this excellent question. Good job, Kendra. I see you trying to de-program your mom. It's working)

*They* don't care about *those* kids, Karen, I say gently. *They* don't want *those* kids to be able to read. To grow up and *vote* because kids from *those* families tend to not vote for Greg Abbott. *They* know that college educated voters vote more blue. It's sabotage.

I see her get quiet. I wonder if she'll push back now that I've named names, said the party, made it explicitly political. There is a tense moment where I can see her respect and love for her daughter and public Ed and education in general suddenly bucking against a lifetime of voting red in Texas. It didn't used to be this way. Republicans didn't always hate education, at least not so directly and openly. I wonder if this is the time when I went just a touch too far and now Thanksgiving is going to get real awkward real fast, because my in laws are VERY good at keeping the drama away from family gatherings like this and I may have just kicked a hornets nest a little too hard.

She stays quiet.

My mother in law says it's time for pie.

We eat pie. Karen made chocolate mousse, and it's wonderful.

I choose to believe all Roku and Sozin scenes in the new Roku book are Rozin scenes in disguise

The urge to talk about my new Kingmaker Baroness as I'm building her vs. The ever present self doubt.

Obsessively checking Tumblr every 5 mins for pics of Michael and David (preferably making heart eyes at each other) for Nye Press Night

I can't believe Rise of the Beasts broke ground by being the first movie to depict hardcore lesbian sex between giant robots

I knowww its a big stretch but what i want most right now is ace attorney in fortnite... it would be great. The only reasons its vaguely plausible and i hold this hope with me is because there have been capcom fortnite skins in the past and marketing for aai collection was going crazy

Awaiting for 5th of November and hoping we’ll get Bonfire Night on the QSMP it’d be awesome

Well I am doubtful that the video tomrrow is a new Sanders sides video, Thomas posted that tweet to his Instagram story. I dokt think he usually does that. Meaning he is hyping up whatever he's doing a lot

What are you planning Sanders

[hellogoodbyeitsme]

God I hope they kiss.

Yall, what if the crew we ain't been seeing (Ashton, Laudna, Orym) meet up with Yu.

They did say they'd be watching the group.
