#gibbs' rules

[littlepawz]

“When she applied to run in the Boston Marathon in 1966 they rejected her saying: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.” Then exactly 50 years ago today, on the day of the marathon, Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes and waited for the race to begin. When about half of the runners had gone past she jumped in. She wore her brother’s Bermuda shorts, a pair of boy’s sneakers, a bathing suit, and a sweatshirt. As she took off into the swarm of runners, Gibb started to feel overheated, but she didn’t remove her hoodie. “I knew if they saw me, they were going to try to stop me,” she said. “I even thought I might be arrested.” It didn’t take long for male runners in Gibb’s vicinity to realize that she was not another man. Gibb expected them to shoulder her off the road, or call out to the police. Instead, the other runners told her that if anyone tried to interfere with her race, they would put a stop to it. Finally feeling secure and assured, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. As soon as it became clear that there was a woman running in the marathon, the crowd erupted—not with anger or righteousness, but with pure joy, she recalled. Men cheered. Women cried. By the time she reached Wellesley College, the news of her run had spread, and the female students were waiting for her, jumping and screaming. The governor of Massachusetts met her at the finish line and shook her hand. The first woman to ever run the marathon had finished in the top third.”

I’ve seen more than my fair share of war. Sometimes the worst part about losing a battle isn’t the losing. It’s the surviving that comes after. I put off having a real funeral for them. I put off selling that house. I put off moving on. And that morning, I couldn’t find the strength to pack a thing. But I didn’t leave empty-handed, either. My wife believed we all should have a code to live by, a set of rules. And I believed in her. So, for years, I wrote my own rules down on napkins, scraps of paper. I followed all of them to the letter. And there I was, thinking, “Look where it got me.” The rules gave my life order. But now, without Shannon and Kelly… there was no order. There was only surviving. Franks knew there was a time and a place to bend the rules. And my dad… well, in his own way, he knew that, too. He knew more than I ever gave him credit for. In a lot of ways, he knew me better than I ever knew myself. I wish I could go back and tell him that. I wish I could go back and thank him. He knew that without any rules at all, a man has nothing left to hold on to.

It literally was so hard because the og skin tone I was using for him DIED so I had to improvise

Also I think I might draw Summer next, but I have two designs for her in mind so I’ll just do both of them

2023 Fanfiction in Review

It's been a weird year to say the least lol. But hard times show you who your friends are and reveal people's true nature.

Looking back I am floored by the overwhelming amount of support that Autumn in Philadelphia has garnered. I am humbled by the talented writers who have contributed to the series: @mrsmungus, @sliebman10, @tsunderesalty, @the-orion-scribe, @stealing-your-kittens and Yotato.

I am also humbled by the talented @obscureobsidiandraws use of Audrey in My Boy Meets World Reboot.

My readers are incredible, and I appreciate everyone who has given AiP a chance. Whether you've been following for years or just joined the journey, whether you comment or not, I really appreciate you. So much.

I also have to mention @axolotlsupremacyowo, my seriously talented neice, and her beautiful art of Audrey.

To my chaos family, you know how much I love you, but I don't think I say thank you enough for your support. I could not have made through this year stronger than when I started without you.

As far as the rest of it, one thing I've learned is that if you get a bad feeling when talking to someone for any reason, stop. Get out of the situation. Don't assume you're the problem. Step back until you can figure out what's going on. Block liberally. Don't allow someone to make you feel guilty for stepping back and blocking. If they follow you from platform to platform, block. You are not wrong to do this for any reason.

Since I gave into guilt, I've been made pretty miserable and wished I'd followed my instinct from the beginning. Since I didn't, I learned a few more things, best expressed, I think, by Gibbs and Abby. See highlighted items.

#42 is figurative in my case but it applies.

Happy New Year, everyone. May it be bigger and better than all the past years combined.

Love you all.

I know we all harp on Jack for wanting to ditch the gang during AWE but truthfully if I had just been brought back from the dead you would not catch me running headlong into danger for like decades. The Brethren Court can get fucked, I’m taking my early retirement

Rewatching Rule 51 and the Reynosa arc now.

Why didn't Gibbs ever tell Paloma Reynosa that her father killed his wife and daughter? Why let them hold the fact that Gibbs killed Pablo Hernandez over him?

This came to me while out walking and I told my mythical and mystical ‘creative genius museTM’ to either come back to me when I can write this down or leave me alone and go bug someone else! And gods help me! THEY CAME BACK TO BUG ME! So I share with you…

For all of Caitlin ‘Kate’ Todd’s proper, catholic school girl persona, you know when it was hot and humid and swamp ass foggy out, in absolute annoyance she’d state, ‘Ugh, I’m sweating my balls off,’ to no one and everyone.

The guys would blink in unison. With Tony giving his typical frat boy snort of Kate! And McGee, sweet innocent McGee stumbling and stating the OBVIOUS. Poor Jimmy would JUST turn beet red THINKING about Kate in any remote way sexually. Ducky, well, Ducky would just shake his head and chuckle and offer her some bottle water. Always concerned about the gang staying hydrated and waxing poetic about his service days while they work what scene they were working.

Gibbs would totally smirk. Raise an eyebrow. And flash that KateGrinTM because he was fondly remembering TheAirForceOneIncidentTM and respond ‘me too Katie.’

She’d roll her eyes and side eye him with a long suffering drawl of Gibbs. A secret smile ghosting her lips and mischief lines at the edges of her eyes. And the annoyance of the hot, humid, foggy morning fading just a bit for them both.

I miss seeing Christopher🧢 being on twitter and getting to see stuff like this

The first time I ever really took any genuine notice of him as a person was when he started @ing the orange wanknut while Britain was flooding the streets protesting him even being in their country

Openly and earnestly standing up for what he believes in which is something I admired greatly

One of my Gibbs rules for life is "25# You're friends are a reflection of who you are, choose wisely"

I hope we get to see him back on twitter again soon, it feels like its been so long now ☹️💔

Newest slides in my collection! These are really unusual sizes and I think they’re a 127 super slide. Yeah, I have no idea how I’m going to digitize these. No date or photographer was listed but I believe the year to be around 1970-71.

The lecture hall had finally managed to quiet down enough for Professor Ash to finally call the class to order. “Good morning! Good morning!”  He pushed his thick glasses up the bridge of his nose with his pudgy thumb. “Thank you to those of you who bothered to show up this time.  Let me remind you that according to the syllabus you received at the beginning of the semester that attending this lecture is worth 25% of your final grade. And for some of you it’s a graduation requirement.”

A few groans echoed across the hall as did a sea of whispers.  Professor Ash clapped his hands calling their attention back to him once more. “For those of you in need of a good deed for the day and you see someone who should be in this lecture - I’d pull out those cellphones and tell them to get their lazy asses out of bed.”

Laughter erupted across the hall.  Some people even pulled out their cellphones to text their missing classmates.  Emma just sipped her coffee, waiting the for lecture to finally begin. How much showboating did it require to actually start this thing?  But when the talking finally seemed to die down, Professor Ash addressed them once more. “Without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our guest speakers from the prestigious Behavioral Analysis unit at the FBI, SSA Jason Gideon and Dr. Spencer Reid.”

“Have you met either of them?” Emma asked Theresa, whispered in her friend’s ear as the audience applauded their guests onto the stage.

Theresa shook her head.

Send me ⌨ + title to one of my fics and I’ll write a sentence for that fic!
