6X14 Coda/Future Ficlet

Eddie runs into Vanessa less than a year later and he almost doesn’t recognize her. Her long brown hair was held atop her head in a clipped up messy bun, her face was free of make-up and instead of a body-hugging black dress, she wore shorts and an oversized, off the shoulder sweatshirt.

But then again, the farmers market really wasn’t the place for fancy attire.

“Vanessa?” Eddie called out.

Vanessa’s attention snapped away from the mangos she was admiring and at first looked at Eddie in confusion before recognition took over. “Edmundo, right?” She smirked, probably remembering his heavy insistence to call him Eddie that night.

Eddie laughed, “Hm. Still got that wit. Ever let a man get past all that charm?”

Vanessa chuckled, “Maybe. My Tia finally gave up a little while ago.  Apparently, there are only so many nice Mexican boys she could find for me.  But I did find a very delectable mid-west guy.  So far, he’s up to the fifth date.” She wiggled her eyebrows, “And what about you? Find that lucky gal to get past the first drink?”

“Better.” Eddie replied, looking over his shoulder to see Buck ambling his way towards him, his reusable tote no longer empty.

Vanessa followed his gaze then snorted, “Now that is no pretty Latina girl. Where did your Tia find him?”

Eddie turned back to the woman, “She didn’t. Pepa had no hand in this.”

Buck, immediately took notice of Vanessa when he joined Eddie and quickly staked his claim by wrapping his free arm around Eddie’s waist and planting a soft kiss to his cheek, “Hey babe, make a friend?”

Vanessa bit down on her lip to suppress a laugh, while Eddie rolled his eyes fondly. “Buck this is Vanessa.  She’s the girl Tia Pepa tried setting me up with awhile back. Vanessa, this is Buck, my boyfriend.”

“Oh! You’re the one who beat Eddie to punch in shutting down the date. Thanks for that.” Buck said.

Vanessa flicked her hand around, “Really it was no problem. It seems everything worked out as it was supposed to. But seriously, how did you score this blue-eyed handsome gringo?”

Buck blushed bright red at her description and Eddie chuckled, slipping his own arm around his boyfriend’s waist, and giving him a tight squeeze, “Wasn’t hard really. We’ve been co-workes and friends for years and then one day I looked up and realized, Oh, he’s right there and I’m not alone.  Never really have been since I came to L.A.” Eddie looked up at Buck and smiled softly, “Sometimes you don’t have look to hard or far for the right partner.”

Buck returned Eddie’s smile with his own then softly pecked him on the lips. Vanessa sighed, “No wonder you tried to turn me down.  You had this waiting for you huh?”

Eddie chuckled, “At home on a very comfortable couch.”

Buck laughed and Eddie’s heart picked up tempo. But it wasn’t in panic. His heart hadn’t stuttered in panic since he and Buck were separated by the bridge collapse. Now, his heart beat to the rhythm of his love for Buck.

And no amount of Tia meddling could change it.

I think I'm getting a handle on this coda thing... But anyway hope you enjoyed! This was just a small thought that popped into my head and I tried to weave in as many common buddie metaphors as I could!

The heart drawings remain living rent free in my head after that episode - Chris seeing the heart as just mechanical because its just an organ and girls leave in the end regardless.

The fact that both Buck and Eddie have/still do view their heart in that way - Eddie it could be argued still has a mechanical heart - while he has learned and grown, he is still not understanding the assignment - he thinks he has, but its not his assignment, its someone elses.

Whereas Buck has moved on - moved forward - since his heart was restarted after the lightening strike (symbolised by his dumping Natalia when she was only interested in his death - his mechanical heart) he is no longer clinging to something that doesn't bring him happiness.

The rainbows and sunshine heart is actually the understanding the assignment - Buck didn't misunderstand he was just getting ahead of himself, ahead of his heart and his happiness.

all the pieces are starting to fall into place - the hearts are evolving from mechanical to cartoon and I am feeling quietly confident that we're going to see this happen over this season

"A dead lantern"…Dewi has such a way with words.

Bug Fact: The Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas) has uniquely shaped wings that resemble the head of a snake. When threatened, it drops to the ground, and shifts its wings to imitate a snakes' movement.

imagine if after the transmigration shen qingqiu became a combination of shen yuan and shen jiu, not in a "second person living in my head" kind of way, but a "this house is haunted and carries the echoes of the dead" kind of way; imagine shen yuan having nightmares about a house, a fire, a faceless boy behind a door he can't remember; imagine him having flashes of emotions he doesn't understand, rage at a name he doesn't recognize, helplessness when yue qingyuan apologizes for something he won't mention, nausea when ning yingying says the name "a-luo"; imagine parts of his own self have changed too, how he now likes bows in his hair, pretty flowers and flowing robes, but can no longer stand a stranger's touch, a man's touch, yet he longs for the brothels, but never sexually, only fondly, like there's something there he misses. there are many empty spaces in his heart where he feels something is missing

He's a little silly but we support him all the same <3

[berlingotesque]

It was affection that held us together.

side note I do think about Anya's medical ability a lot...I gotta write my thoughts in depth but I think its interesting to analyze. Like it's really easy for people to go point at a character trying to do something and imagine them as an expert or secretly very skilled but I find her really relatable in the sense she's got a goal in mind yet despite all her efforts she never seems to reach it. Instead it becomes a point of mockery by others.

I do believe that Curly being alive is the most supernatural aspect about the Tulpar cause to me he resembles more of a ghost that won't depart than a person capable of medical recovery. I just like the imagery of Anya struggling to aid him but his condition never improves, in fact he always appears to be in a stasis of misery, an eternal reminder of failure and accountability.

imagine being a shy little intern at jujutsu high and getting the fattest crush on gojo because he’s just. so strong and cool. you idolize him. you want to be his friend. and he seems to take a liking to you; he’s cheery and encouraging and sweet in a roundabout way. you feel like you’ve grown pretty close to him.

imagine him falling asleep right next to you on a sofa in the cafeteria. you can barely tell, with his blindfold still on. but you scurry away to find a blanket, happy that he trusts you enough to rest in your proximity, ready to wrap it around him —

only for it to slip right off. rejected by his infinity.

(he never turns it off, around you.)

[I got bit by the bug of love. It laid an egg inside my heart. I went to the doctor to see him. He said my stomach was full of love eggs! The doctor prescribed me 100 kisses. After that, he said the eggs would hatch. So he kissed my stomach 200 times. And then the eggs did their hatching dance! Now my stomach is full of bugs. And my heart is full of love. This is an accurate metaphor. For how all people fall in love. Love eggs, love eggs, coursing through my veins. Love eggs, love eggs, they're eating up my brain. Love eggs, love eggs, I can't get enough. Love eggs, love eggs, they're hatching in my gut.]

Sam would have loved the chance to see Frodo grow old.

To see his brown hair begin to gray and then turn gray, to see how wrinkles began to take over his chubby face (and if Sam was very lucky, some of his wrinkles would be the permanent mark that Frodo was able to laugh and smile as much as he wanted).

Not only because Frodo's aging meant that he continued to live but also because it meant that he was no longer under the influence of the ring, which stopped keeping him under its evil control and allowed Frodo to continue living as a simple hobbit, alongside him.

Now that the episodes aired

Anyone else still want to know what this means?

Why the mismatched hearts? Hmm

[icywolfos]

Why can't we share this happy ending

(upside down version under cut + some doodles)

click for higher quality

so the loop fight loss dialogue lives rent free in my head and in the middle of making this i have accidentally made a silly little au.

Due to Reasons, siffrin and loop can now toss around his heart between them like a hot potato that keeps both of them alive. Have I thought any further on this? no i just thought this had the potential to be really funny post isat.

I am probably not going to elaborate on anything unless otherwise asked. so enjoy these little doodles

Some interesting similarities between the forms of Falling Devil and Darkness Devil.

There’s the use of multiple bodies to create a singular form, the angular shapes, the mantis-leg-like appendages, the sheer height.

These two also share very strong hand motifs, which makes sense for both of them: when it’s dark, you have to feel your way around, usually with your hands; when you’re falling, you try to grab onto something with your hands.

I’m curious to see if the other Primals look anything like these two.

If bbc merlin wasn't gay then tell me why my middle aged, agressively heterosexual father that thought neil and todd were straight just turned to me and told me magic was an allegory for queerness. fucking riddle me that
