"where were you when everything was falling apart ?"

[bixels]

I feel like I've seen most of what interests me in FiMFiction for the time being, so I read through some good ol' reliable Stardew Valley fanfics last night, only to realize.

Haley x Female Farmer is basically Rarijack. Rarijack adjacent.

yk in another life, percy and annabeth could’ve ended up like cho and cedric

hannah taylor's character is so special to me because they had every chance to make her fall into this stepford wife trope who cares too much about appearances but instead shira comes back to town and hannah essentially points at the life she's built and says "oh this? fuck it. i've been waiting for you" and it's such a joy to watch

the pics of morgan and joel are from travis sanheim's wedding this weekend!

^^^me experiencing the one-two knockout punch of “oh they WERE each other’s wedding date” followed by the realization that sanny finally got married 🥹😭 cheers indeed!!!

most layton characters are kind of underwritten but in a way i find weirdly compelling. do we know fucking anything about angela no-canonical-maiden-name ledore No but i am i fascinated by her like a bug You bet

[starbuck]

no okay but in the last few weeks i’ve met/learned about three different lovely couples happily married for >30 years and the secret for all of them was not meeting/getting married until their 30s when they both already had their individual lives figured out… THAT’S the validation that i’m onto something that i needed

This is my brain trying to make sense of the new Eddie/Shannon/Chris timeline

With Shannon’s birth year now canonically being 1992 I thought I’d throw together a rough timeline for her and Eddie’s relationship since it seems to be confusing some people. (Although it doesn’t really matter what year these characters were born and we shouldn’t put too much thought into this bc the show retcons backstories all the time)

It’s canon that Shannon was born Oct 1992 and that Buck was born June 1992 and so logically Eddie was probably born either Sept 1990/91/92 (Edit: Its canon everyone! Eddie is a 1992 baby!). I like thinking that he’s a little older than Buck and so I’m going to stick with Eddie being born 1991. I have edited this to reflect his canon age.

I'm going to break this down by year and bold the stuff that is confirmed canon the other stuff is was I could piece together to make it make sense.

And yes I know their ages might fluctuate depending on when birthdays fall I was just making it easier on myself.

2010:

August: Shannon and Eddie have known each other since they were 14. They start dating in their senior year of high school. Shannon finds out she's pregnant, her and Eddie get married, Eddie enlists in the army (Shannon: 18, Eddie: 18)

Basic training is about 10 weeks plus 16 weeks of medic training so Eddie is away at basic for 26 weeks total (Sept 2010 - Jan 2011)

2011:

Eddie finishes basic in Jan 2011 and goes on his first tour in Feb 2011

Tours are anywhere between 7 and 15 months - lets say Eddie's first tour was 9 months

Eddie gets leave from his tour to be there for Chris' birth but has to return soon after (Shannon: 19, Eddie: 19).

2011-2013:

Eddie is in the army on tours and periodically home

Eddie misses Chris' diagnosis

2013:

Eddie re-enlists without telling Shannon (Shannon: 21, Eddie: 21, Chris: 2)

From my research enlistments are usually 4 years in active duty and two years inactive. However, after you've completed active duty you can extend or re-enlist for another four of active duty. This would align with Eddie's timeline as 2010-2014 would be his first contract and he re-enlisted in 2013 to start his second contract as soon as his first is done.

2015:

Eddie's helicopter gets shot down and Eddie is discharged early from the army (Shannon: 23, Eddie: 23, Chris: 4)

Eddie is a Staff Sergeant at this point which is possible for his age just not common

Shannon leaves to take care of her dying mother

2017:

Helena and Ramon try to take Chris from Eddie

Eddie and Chris leave El Paso for LA

Eddie starts at the Fire Academy (Shannon: 25, Eddie: 25, Chris: 6)

2018:

Eddie joins the 118

Shannon returns and dies

(Shannon: 26, Eddie: 26, Chris: 7, Buck: 26)

Do with this as you will :)

"Why did fate have to bring us together, only to tear us apart?" (For eden from any of my muses).

"Being away from me is.. probably a good thing." she mumbled, her eyes cast down until she forced the prettiest green eyes to stare up at him. "You know how it is, people around me always end up leaving.. I end up alone so maybe this is just your.. bittersweet way of getting away before it ends up worse." her shoulders shrugged. "We should've never worked anyway, you remember how it was.."

She cleared her throat. She wasn't meant to stay in this town, there were so many bad memories but then... there was him. He was here, and he might be the one good memory she had left. "I'm not meant to stay in this town, there are so many ghosts for me."

No one:

Me: does anyone want to hear what my sims family did today

[meatriarch]

i think maria met & dated jesse at a really important point in her life because frankly with all the stress & responsibilities & obligations she had back home, with mama flores, with ana, etc -- i think she really needed that gentle puppy-love brand of dating. like right place, right time, but just not aligned to last long-

Haven’t been sleeping well because, and this is the stupidest reason, I’m so full of damnable longing. All I do is yearn and pine and want.

[voiceshearingyouloud]

I’m always wary of saying my partner and I have good communication because since everyone talks about communication as the most important thing and saving grace of a relationship I’ve kind of mythologised it in my head and been like well, there’s no way we’re that good at this. But then I remember that communication is the process of continually talking about your feelings when you’re hurt or when you need something or when you’re happy, and talking about what your plans are for the future of your relationship and your thoughts on your past together and I’m like. Yeah we do kind of ace it on that

Damn I love my wife so much it might kill me
