Sad horny boyfriends 500, please! (You can always do more words, of course) 🥹😂

ok i was confused at first bc was there an ask game or smth? and i didn't want to share more snippets of my untitled saltommy fic since a) im writing it properly now and b) ive shared so much already but! since you said please :D and because im a slut for feedback :D

~~

There was a time when Tommy didn’t feel much of anything when they were out at a bar together and Sal was doing his Sal thing; namely, flirting with women like it was his hobby, which − it sort of was. He wasn’t one for commitment, he’d said, he liked playing the field, he’d said, why settle down with one person when the world was his oyster, he’d said.

It was kind of fun to watch, actually. Sal DeLuca, waltzing in the badge and ladder joint around the corner from the firehouse, with his cocksure strut, still in his uniform, throwing a flirty wink at the bartender while ordering himself a drink, all eyes on him as he walked up to their usual corner booth, sitting across from Tommy with a self-satisfied little grin. That’s all it took for him to catch their eye − he knew exactly what he was doing, and he loved the attention he got from the female patrons of the bar, that much was obvious, even when he wasn’t looking for a hook-up. 

“This round’s on the house, boys,” their waitress says, setting down two more bottles of the beers Sal had ordered for them before Tommy had even arrived. 

This, too, was not unusual. He’d charmed his way into freebies more times than Tommy could remember. Once, when the two of them were flying to a bachelor party in Vegas, he’d even got them bumped up to first class, with an all-access pass to the business lounge, completely free of charge. 

“Is that so?” Sal grins up at her, that sultry look in his eyes. “How come?”

The way his stomach twists as he watches the interaction catches Tommy by surprise. He picks up his bottle, finishing off the drink, and fiddles with the empty bottle for a moment, resolutely ignoring the new one that the waitress set down in front of him. 

“Let’s just say it’s a birthday freebie,” she says, addressing Sal, 

“It’s not my birthday,” Sal says, playing along, and turns to Tommy. “Is it your birthday?”

Tommy presses his lips into a thin line. He shakes his head. 

“Wellll,” she says, still focused on Sal, and then adds, “I won’t tell if you won’t tell,” and gives him a little wink before she walks off. Sal smiles and shakes his head and easily slips back into the conversation they were having right up until the interruption, and it’s easy for Tommy to forget all about that weird feeling in his gut and continue drinking and shooting the shit until the match starts and they turn their attention to the TV above the bar. Sal slides across the booth until they’re sitting shoulder to shoulder, saying something about getting a better viewing angle, but there’s a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looks at Tommy and hooks his ankle around Tommy’s under the table − and God, if it didn’t make Tommy blush like some goddamn Victorian era damsel being courted by the most eligible bachelor in town.

Ex... excuse me but what is that username. Why do your monkeys have trousers. WHAT is going on there? I need to know

My username. To mock you. Mocking?

[evansbuck-ley]

Tell me your wildest theory for tomorrow's episode!

omg so glad you asked bc I’ve got a few

so my main one is that tommy actually has nothing to do with the main emergency bc my guy is at home passed tf out after getting home from a 48 hour shift like an hour before shit hits the fan and doesn’t find out about what’s happened until several hours later after being woken up by buck showing up to his house absolutely bewildered and about a thousand missed calls and text messages

brad somehow convinces both bobby AND athena to get into a throuple ??? idk how but it works and bobby just spends the whole time confused how he let this man have so much power over him (and this is how we get to keep brad for the rest of the season)

gerrard comes back at the end of the episode and he has amnesia after hitting his head and suddenly he’s nice to everyone and tries to start a weird father/son thing with buck who is not here for it bc bobby is his fire dad (which could lead to the golfing pic that we saw)

this one isn’t wild but I just really hope for it to happen - but when everyone is safe and sound and the firefam are having a post “one of us nearly died again” bbq, hen notices eddie just stood by himself in the corner, riddled with anxious energy, so she goes over to him and they have a heart to heart about chris and just talk out his feelings (pls just give me more of this dynamic or just more of eddie reaching out to people other than buck)

10,14 for the ask game 😏

10. Fandom that you've spent the most money on?

I had to think about this one! Probably Cosmere (the universe that exists in Brandon Sanderson's novels). I bought a set of miniature models recently that I want to paint. However, in the summer I'm planning on attending a supernatural convention, whiiiiich will be quite costly. 😅

14. Fandom you keep returning to?

Supernatural. I tried to take a fandom break for like 1.5-2 years. No tumblr, no fanfic, nothing. Well I couldn't stay away and I am back with a vengeance 😆

[nobigsecrets]

003 for Eddie and 004 for 911/911 LS 😌🥰

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you

How I feel about this character: It's complicated, lol. I didn't like Eddie very much at first tbh and I think it's because I never got the supposed Buddie chemistry. Ever since I came back to 911 in S7 I find Eddie much more interesting. Relatable even, in the way he's stuck in a situation with Chris--who he loves unconditionally--without ever having had the chance to explore who he actually is outside of having to provide for a family.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Josh

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Buck, because now that I don't try to see any romance between them I like their friendship much better

My unpopular opinion about this character: He doesn't care about Buck as much as Buck cares about him

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: that he finds out who he is and eventually finds happiness the same way Buck did--but let him hit rock bottom first 😏

my het ship: don't really have one but I'd like to know what ideas they had for Eddie/Maddie if they'd taken that route

my fem/slash ship: Eddie/Josh

my OTP: don't have one

my OT3: probably, possibly BuddieTommy

my cross over ship: don't have one either

my kink: the mustache, lol 🔥

a head cannon fact: aro!eddie is my preferred headcanon

my gender bend: nope

004 | send me 2 fandoms and I will give yo my crossover OTP

ahhh, I've only ever seen S1 of Lone Star and that was back when it first aired. I know TK/Buck is popular and I can see the fun in that. I'm not up to speed on the characters and their backstories, I'm afraid, but Carlos/Eddie or Judd/Tommy could be something I could be interested in.

Ask me, Please?

[sheyshocked]

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!

So three random facts? Let's see...

I love black tea, I can't sing to save my life (but I like to do it when I'm alone) and my favorite animal is a guinea pig.

[hanzajesthanza]

there were so many thoughtful responses to this post! i wasn't expecting to get so many sincere answers, i was just thinking out loud, so before i start responding i just want to say thank you :)

i'm going to be responding just in one big reblog by @ ing people via common threads which popped up in the reblogs/replies, since i don't want to reblog this post ten times, each with one response... this might be kinda weird to @ everyone, but i think this is the most organized and efficient way to go about it.

also, small edit to the original post before i start responding, i'll say that i came to disagree with the way i phrased this: "bothers me," but i didn't want to edit the post because it seems disingenuous to do so. so, it doesn't bother me, i just can't really explain how it makes me feel, it's kind of like a mix of uncertainty and yearning at the same time. kind of like, "it's a strange predicament, i think i already know the answer, but it makes me sad all the same." not really sure how to phrase that other than "bother," but know that it is a bother that comes from inside, not outside (i.e., i'm not mad at anyone)

thus commence the replies!! i'm going to organize them by common reasons brought up:

#1 : there are many adaptations of the witcher, it's not just the books:

I think in the end most witcher fans, especially in the English speaking part of the internet, don't consider themselves exclusively game or book fans. The series became popular outside eastern europe through the games so most fans see themselves as both game and book fans. - @jawanaka

This. There's already too many adaptations for anybody to like only parts of the whole witcher experience. Never heard somebody say they're a Sapkowski fan. I, certainly, am not, even if that does by no means downplaying his creation. - @do-androids-dream-ao3acc

i totally see where this is coming from, and i agree with you in that this is just fact that most fans take the books and the games as existing on the same continuum - even when we acknowledge that they are separate things, it's not the common fan experience to really distinguish between them.

but also, i mean, i would consider myself to be a fan of the books "exclusively" - meaning, not that i don't like the games, but i'm not really interested in talking, blogging, or making fancontent (art, fic, analysis) about the games in the same way that i am about the books. like, i'm a fan of the games, but i'm not a dedicated, knowledgable fan, i don't really seek out conversations about them, i don't think about them in my free time, i don't want to analyze them deeply.

i don't really see the witcher as a cohesive experience or franchise, i see it like: these are the books, these are the games, they're separate things by separate creators, they have separate stories and meanings. i understand that's not the common fan experience, i wouldn't force that view on anyone else, but that's just how i see it. and i don't think i'm the only one, certainly.

I dislike the Witcher books actually. I know others who dislike the TV show. It really is possible for someone to only like a part of the adaptations or the canon. I like some parts of some of the Witcher games, and some of the fanfic, and that’s what makes me stick around. I’m very much not a fan of everything Witcher. - @straysinfiltrator

yeah, this is kind of what i'm saying, that it's possible for someone to only like a part of the witcher, i'm not a fan of everything witcher, either. it's just, the part i like is the books.

i guess i kind of illustrated my own point - because i said "witcher fans" in my original post above, which suggests all witcher fans of all witcher mediums - but really, what i meant was, "fans of the witcher book series". isn't it confusing to all go by the same name, in such cases when you're trying to specify just the books, just the games, or elsewise?

by this, i don't mean to divide the community or anything, what i mean is - it would help fans find more about the witcher books, if they were searching for specifically fan discussions and content about the books. like, using "sapkowski witcher" as a search term would help specify, "oh this is about the books and not the games." i've been in that situation a lot where i'm trying to find stuff about the books specifically, but only games stuff comes up.

#2 - non-witcher sapkowski + small english-speaking fandom

Many good points were made, but i want to add that Sapkowski himself considers the Hussite trylogy his "masterpiece". Calling yourself a "Sapkowski fan" would imply that you're a fan of not only the Witcher, but Hussite trylogy, his other short stories (Żmija, the stories from something ends, something begins [the other ones, not the Witcher themed ones], that one trpg he worked on in the 90s) and also his works reflecting upon English fantasy (Rękopis Znaleziony W Smoczej Jaskini, his book about Arthurian legends). Which would exclude the majority of non-polish fans since most of his works aside from the Witcher wasn't translated. - @dukeofdogs

Usually I'm not even a fan of *all* works of an author even if I call them "one of my favourite authors". - @antimonyschnuck

The amount of people who are exclusively book fans and work in English are quite few. - @jawanaka

oh definitely! all of this is true!

when it comes to the "popular" witcher, the only-books fans who can only speak english is like... at the moment, we could all dance on the head of a pin. but that's a starting point, a goal, like, i want to encourage more people who don't necessarily speak polish to read the books and get introduced to the 'book witcher'.

and with other works, that's also kind of a(n optional) goal, i think, right? that fans of the witcher books should be recommended, or at least told about sapkowski's other works and greater passions as an author, or at least given context to it (again re: english-only speaking fandom, the context and history is often lost, so it's left to being communicated between fans)

from what i can tell, there's not much of an international community for them now, but the way i am thinking about it, if the international fans of the witcher books acknowledged sapkowski's authorship more in relation to them, then there could potentially be a broader community for his works that are less popular relative to the witcher and then, maybe those could gain more of an international fanbase as well, if there was more "spill over" from the witcher to other works.

translations, whether official or unofficial, follow demand, so if there were fans that could say - hey we want this - then someone's got to make it, eventually...

personally, i want to read maladie (short story) and the hussite trilogy, but i'm not sure where to start because i don't know much about arthurian legend and i know next to nothing about the bohemian wars, so i feel like i need to prepare and study before i read them (it's not like the witcher where you can kind of just jump in).

but if there was a cohesive fanbase that i could be with, talk to, learn from, be encouraged by, get recommended starting points of research from, then it might not be such a daunting task? like, in the witcher books fandom, there's always someone ready to field questions about such-and-such scenes. or maybe, right, maybe fans will tell me - "don't read it, it's not worth it, you won't like it," which is also an opinion i'm open to hearing! i was also interested in musicians and in the bomb crater, but there's no translations for them yet (and though i could just stop being lazy and run them through google translate, that's no way to read...). but one which i had the translation for and also which doesn't require any prior research (except maybe a couple of wikipedia pages) is golden afternoon, and i liked that one! (as dark as it is!)

i kind of put this in my tags on the original post: (...) ALSO i think if we united under his name then there would be more inter-series fans (...) ive always wondered where the fans of the hussite trilogy are (online). is there an online fanbase? (...) and if we do that then we can get more and better translations hopefully (...) like theres still no official translations for a ton of his short stories.

#3 - author fan relations

I will never be a fan of people. I'm a fan of a piece of work. (...) "Favourite author" lets them keep their humanity and you can still be a fan of their work after they fuck up in one or the other way (...) - @antimonyschnuck

andrzej sapkowski to stara kurwa -everyone who's been a fan of the books for long enough - @stillness138

i have nothing more to add to these ones, this is just good sense and accurate, lol. i mean, maybe there is a compromise in here somewhere, and to clarify, i do NOT mean we should be out here trying to have parasocial relationships with authors 😅

i just think it's easier for me, in some part, to specify "i'm talking about the witcher that is sapkowski's story," for the reasons in #1 - i like the books, i mean there are the parts that i don't like, but i like them overall as a cohesive body of work, with a beginning and end. to specify "sapkowski's witcher" i think also means to acknowledge all the fucked up parts too, for example, the sexism in sapkowski's witcher is not the sexism present in cdpr's witcher...

Also don't quite share your experience in how people refer to the author as the name of the fandom. HP fans called themselves that long before R*wling had shown her entire ass to the world. Likewise, I've sen people refer to themselves as fans of Narnia, A Song of Ice and Fire or Wheel of time, not C.S Lewis, George R.R. Martin or Robert Jordan fans. Tolkien among fantasy authors seem rather unique in this regard. - @jawanaka

good to think about! yeah, i guess it depends on the author. i mean i've seen people call themselves george rr martin fans, but... yes, it relates back to like, do we really want to have this name-basis connection to the author. i guess it also depends on how it's used in conversation, too - like if you're recommending a body of work, you might drop the author name, but if you're saying you're a fan of a series, you will just say the name of the series.

maybe it also comes down to the word "fan" - like, there's a difference between "fan of sapkowski's witcher" and "fan of sapkowski"? no one is disputing that he wrote the book series, but for some fans, it's like, do you have to rub it in?

I think one reason is because of the lawsuit against cdpr, that really painted him as “old man yells at video game” when in reality he didn’t hate the content of the games like some people report, he just thought he deserved some of the royalties from something that became so internationally popular, its a pretty standard practice actually, in fact he seems to be alot more laissez faire about the use of his work than most authors - @supercupcakecollector-love

and yes haha i feel like this is a major reason why a lot of people don't like even bringing up his name. it's quite unfortunate imo because i feel like there are much more valid reasons to hate him other than this one... i'm all for being a hater but let's start with the stuff he deserves to be hated for, like the descriptions of young girls' breasts

again, thank you to everyone who responded, i've gotten a lot to think about!! hope this wasn't too much of an awkward format to do the replies in

it kind of bothers me that witcher fans don’t really unite under sapkowski’s name like other fans of fantasy authors do (e.g. “tolkien fans”).

in practically any other fandom of fantasy books, save for the particularly rancid authors known for their disappointing and shameful behavior or views (e.g. jk r*wling), it’s just regular business to say the author’s name. but sapkowski’s name is treated like a dirty word in the witcher fandom, for really no good reason…

it must be asked — what is stopping us from doing so?! why don’t we call ourselves sapkowski fans. it would be much easier than saying “i’m a fan of the witcher, but only the books, i don’t consider the various adaptations canon, etc. etc.” … “half a hundred words, when three are enough!!”

[ineffable-omen]

Thank you, genuinely for the kind words 🥲❤

I guess by that I meant it would be like, something-new-for-my-birthday sort of thing but I agree and thank you once again <3

Oh wow! Hey, Hi– um… How are ya?!

I have so much on my plate with asks I still need to get to and two WIPs (plus a couple things not currently being posted) I’m working on that I don’t think I could ask for prompts or anything. Maybe I’ll think up something for if I get to 500 🫶

Sooo instead I will give you some sappy sappy word vomit below the cut👇

I just hit 400 followers <3 which might not be a huge number compared to other blogs on this app, but it is leaps and bounds more than I ever thought I’d have. Especially since, when I first joined I only expected to lurk around other peoples posts… maybe share a few… mostly because I have never been much of a blogger— I have tried in the past, and it never stuck (first time for everything I guess)— but also because I’m extremely introverted, and as much as I would LOVE, and desperately attempted, for it not to bleed into my online persona… it did, regardless. BUT, somehow as quiet and kept to myself as I always wind up becoming in the fandoms I’m a part of… I still have managed to meet some TRULY amazing people through them!

@scripted-downfall wench, angst queen you are so important to me and I hope I’m lucky enough to keep you a part of my life forever! 🫶

@onthewaytosomewhere MELZZZZ! Always a shoulder to vent on about my stressful stressful life! My smut writing mentor 😂 I luv you!

@bucksxkinard and @somethingaboutfirefly tumblr besties!!! You two inflate my head so much about my writing but you have no idea how appreciated you are!

And don’t get me started on how you each interchange these and so I’m just fed for daysss! (Plus, Bucks dreams, come onnnn) It’s an honor to be a part of that *said in Tommy’s voice, of course*

@girlwonder-writes you found me and brought me into your amazing accepting community. And your ability to flesh out OCs (Olivia my beloved she is so mean to you, lol) and your encouragement for us to show our OCs love! 🫶

I'm afraid there is a lot more comfort than hurt in this one, but I hope you enjoy all the same 🧡 All these asks made me realize I'm actually quite close to finishing! So I hope I can have it posted soon.

“Look, my past partners, they’d always freak out when I had a night terror. They’d try to wake me up, and it would take me out of that state, but it would scare the absolute shit out of me. I mean, I would go from being dead asleep to being shaken by my partner, and it was like a part of my brain was trying to make what was happening in the real world be a part of the nightmare.” Tommy takes a deep breath. “You… you let it pass without interfering. And that means I got to have completely undisturbed sleep. Well, at least to my memory,” he laughs.

Several Sentence Sunday

Okay, so I was tagged by @perfectlysunny02 and @do-androids-dream-ao3acc for this and because this snippet is 😂 more than a few sentences, I'll put the tagging for this up here - anyone who wants to do Several Sentences Sunday, just say I tagged you.

This is for a fic idea that I just thought of on a walk? It's basically a Teacher AU. Sort of. Buck is a second grade teacher, who befriended Eddie when Chris was in his class seven years ago. Tommy is still a Firefighter Pilot, but he and his best friend Natalia Dollenmeyer decided to have a kid together fourteen years ago. They co-parent and have a kid Chris' age named Natalia (she goes by Nat or Junior). Tommy met Eddie on a call and they became fast friends. Eddie learns that Nat has CP (I'm basing Nat a bit off of famous wheelchair racer Hannah Cockroft) and recommends the school that Chris goes to. Natalia and Tommy agree the school will be good for Nat and enroll her there, which is where Tommy has his meet-cute with Evan. Enjoy! 🥰

“We’re lost,” said Nat, “Aren’t we?”

Tommy was lost.

Absolutely lost.

“We’re not lost,” Tommy lied as he stared hopelessly around the halls, “We’re just – turned around a bit.”

Tommy could navigate the skies like the back of his hand, but the moment he touched the ground, all that sense of direction disappeared like a mirage in a desert. He had visited this school three times before this. First when he, Natalia, and Nat went on the tour of the grounds. Second when he had dropped Nat off to take the entrance exam. Third for the parent meeting. He had been shown this school on three separate occasions.

And he didn’t know where the fuck he was.

Nat laughed.

“Dad, let’s ask for directions,” said Nat, “What do you always say?”

Tommy.

Sighed.

“When you don’t know where you’re going, it’s okay to ask for directions,” said Tommy back to his child.

“Not hard to admit,” said Nat, and Tommy liked that he had at least taught her that.

That it was okay to ask for help. It took so long for Tommy to teach himself that. It was good that she understood that now as Nat wheeled herself over to the first new adult she saw. She pulled up in front of him, waving her hand to get his attention.

“Hi,” she said, her smile all charm, “My name’s Natalia, but I go by Nat. or Junior. But Nat works just fine. Over there is my dad. Can you show us where Ms. Flores’ room is?”

And.

Oh god, he was hot.

Fuck, the man was handsome. He had these wonderful dirty blond curls. He was wearing this dapper green sweater. And he had this distinctive birthmark that peppered right on the edge of his eyebrow. He seemed amused, if not delighted by how friendly Nat was.

“You are, are you?” asked the man, grinning as he –

He.

Looked.

Tommy’s.

Way.

And Tommy felt his heart skip a beat. He did his best not to think about that as he walked over to the man and said a little smoother than he felt, “Yes. I’m her dad. Tommy Kinard. A pleasure to meet you.”

Should Tommy be introducing himself? He was only asking for directions. All the same, he found himself extending his hand and – and the man shook it.

“E – Evan Buckley,” said the man, said Evan, as he kept shaking Tommy’s hand, “I’m a second grade teacher here. Not. Wandering the halls aimlessly or something. Not sure why I said it like that.”

Huh.

That name sounded familiar. Though. Tommy wasn’t really thinking about that.

Tommy laughed.

“I kind of assumed you were a teacher, but thanks for the clarification,” laughed Tommy, and why was Tommy still shaking this man’s hand, “Nice to know you’re not just aimlessly wandering the halls.”

“Yeah. That would be weird,” said Evan, still shaking Tommy’s hand, “Red flags there.”

“Wait. Second grade? We’re not even on the right side of the school, Dad,” said Nat, which reminded Tommy to actually stop shaking this man’s hand.

“Yeah. You need to go to the east side of the school. It’s the big, sort of mismatched building that looks recently built. Ms. Flores is, uh – she’s freshman year, so she should be on the first floor. I’ll show you where it is,” explained Evan as he walked them out of the building they were in and toward the complete opposite side of the school’s campus, “She’s great. All the high school teachers are amazing, but she’s a fantastic English teacher. She runs this book club I’m in. She really makes you think.”

“She does, huh? I know Nat’s mom met her during a separate tour they did without me for the athletics at the school. Nat – Nat came here partially because there’s an actual wheelchair racing team and a coach here,” explained Tommy.

“Not your wife? Her mom?” asked Evan who seemed to perk up, and – and.

Huh.

“Not – not that I mean to pry, I’m sorry,” continued Evan, laughing nervously.

“No, we’re, uh. We’re coparents. We kind of decided at the same time that we wanted a kid and, we, uh. Had one together as friends. And we ended up with the best, most active kid in the world,” explained Tommy, which.

He knew people weren’t always so accepting of their situation. They barely got past the parent interview. People didn’t tend to get why a gay man and a bi woman simply decided to be parents together.

But.

They had.

And it had been all the better for them both.

“She’s also going to try out for seated discus,” gushed Tommy, “She made regionals in seated discus last year. You should have seen her.”

“Dad. You don’t need to give him our life story. I don’t know if I’ll even make either of those teams,” said Nat.

“You’re making it. I know you will,” beamed Tommy, “We’re also partially here because a friend of mine suggested this school. His kid loves it here, so we thought it could be a good fit.”

“Chris is going to be in my class, actually,” said Nat excitedly as Nat pressed the button to open the door, “Apparently, he’s a cool kid, so I have like an automatic cool kid position.”

“Just use that power responsibly,” said Tommy as they walked in.

“I make no promises,” said Nat as she looked down at her schedule on her phone, “Room E105… there.”

She pointed to the room with the number above it.

“I’ll see you later, Dad. Thanks for helping us, Mr. Buckley,” said Nat as she sped to the classroom and turned inside, yelling, “Chris! My guy! How was summer in Texas?”

“Confident kid,” Evan said.

“She is. People say she gets it from me, but I think she gets it from her mom,” gushed Tommy, because he liked to brag about Nat.

“I don’t know. You seem pretty confident yourself,” said Evan, smiling at Tommy.

And.

Touching Tommy’s shoulder.

And.

Was – was this a moment? Was Tommy having a moment with this random teacher he just met?

Then.

The bell rang.

And.

Evan was still smiling at him; still touching Tommy’s shoulder.

“Do you not have a class to teach right now?” asked Tommy curiously.

“Shi – shoot. Right. Bell. Uh. Nice to meet you, Tommy,” said Evan as he rushed out of the building.

“Nice to meet you too,” said Tommy, waving at Evan as he ran out of the doors.
