You're a firefighter? What's it like?

this has been in my ask box for almost a year now oops

this is going to be quite the ramble.

being a firefighter (especially where i live in conservative rural pennsylvania) is interesting

i’m a young firefighter, still a junior and still learning. it’s real tough being the only (CLOSETED) queer +trans +disabled person in the whole department.. despite my disability i still go on fire calls (though now i go on the less interesting and intense ones)

here’s some stories from my years

i remember my first ever call so clearly, everyone was so mad, it was chaos, it was pitch black, and there was a whole group of girls who were giggling and laughing (they had been in the crash but were uninjured) i was giving them candy out of my pockets- but on the other side of the road the drunk man who hit them was holding back tears and asking if everyone was alright and that he was so very sorry (no one was critically injured)

a local restaurant burned to the ground, and this place was a huge castle themed restaurant which was a real fuckin doozy and a pain in the ass. but everyone loved that place, including my nana. the coolers were still intact when the fire was out and we saved so much food from the place, and so much booze (god like whole kegs just spewing everywhere ; so gross). we managed to save a tin knight statue from the building before we had to tear it down. the owner told us to keep it. we were there until late and an old woman who lived across the street sheltered us in her garage and made us coffee and pancakes. my musical director at school told me that musical was more important than “whatever (i) do on my weekends” i rolled almost 900 feet of 5inch hose that day. i ached for weeks. (still proud of that)

i remember the screams of a family begging for us to look for their father in the building. the guy they were looking for was actually right across the street and wasn’t ever in the building. the sisters held each other and cried on the side of the road while their brothers pulled what belongings they could out of the (extinguished) building. it was easter and the whole family was wearing white. those brothers took like 3 rifles just from their living room and the big deer head they had mounted on the wall. i saw it all while i was packing hose on the roof of the truck. shit was crazy

putting some facts and the more heavy stuff under the cut

winter of last year i saw my first death. no one knew what happened until we got there. he had been sitting there for hours over the bank near a youth camp. he was driving home from the grocery store, with soup for his wife. i watched the coroner (in all her cheerfulness ) zip up his body bag. i haven’t told anyone about this but my parents. i was congratulated as the toughest guy in the station by the other juniors for not even frowning. that man was in his 20s. i still remember his face. i had geometry homework due the next day.

—————————————————————————

this got way darker than i wanted it to but that’s the job. I wanted to help people just like my father, and his dad before him (and practically my whole family)

support your local fire department. the only good cop is a fire marshal!

Volunteers comprise 65% of firefighters in the United States. Of the total estimated 1,041,200 firefighters across the country, 676,900 are volunteer.

85% of fire departments are volunteer or mostly volunteer and protect approximately one third of the population. That’s 18,873 stations out of the 29,452 nationwide.

the leading causes of death amongst firefighters is cancer, heart disease, and stress. Outside of the department however, firefighters are more often taken by suicide. a total of 48 deaths were from accidents on scene last year. however in 2022, 100-200 deaths were from suicide. 1. 2 3

remember clean gear is safe gear. dirty gear is UNCOOL

Please volunteer or donate to your local fire company today. every bit of help counts.

I’m sure Dumat being defeated the same year andraste was born means nothing

I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that andrastes mother was part of a tribe who helped the grey wardens fight and defeat dumat the same year she was born, meaning that she could have been a fetus affected by the taint in the proximity of a dying arch demon

And the fact that nobody knows which grey warden killed dumat, as seven wardens died from injuries from his death throes, and therefore we cannot actually identify a warden who absorbed his soul, means nothing

And I’m sure it is a complete coincidence that andraste had dreams and visions of the being later referred to as the maker her whole life, and behaved strangely, talking about hearing lost voices and seeing strange auras. That absolutely doesn’t sound like anyone else we know

It took me a while to read chapter 70 of Mistakes on mistakes until because I can't just. Youknow. read it. I have to be a total maniac and sketch everything I like as I read, so this whole chapter took me an absurd amount of time ahahaha

“Dude, who’s the hottest F1 driver?”

“Obviously, it’s Charles Leclerc. But there’s-”

“That’s such a basic fucking bitch answer.”

“All right, you want a real answer?”

“Yes!”

“Max Verstappen specifically when he’s all hot and sweaty after a race. Look it up.”

Daniel Ricciardo as Judgement:

The Judgement tarot card symbolizes the arrival of absolution and the culmination of a significant undertaking, often related to past and life lessons.

Judgement indicates the cusp of rebirth.

In order to achieve that, you must look back upon your deeds and come to an honest evaluation of yourself. This leads to the awakening that signals a new way of life.

things in DC canon i’ll literally never get over

1. dick finds out batman replaced him as robin (without asking him) from the NEWSPAPER and simultaneously finds out bruce adopted a new kid without telling him (to make things worse: bruce didn’t even adopt dick)

2. dick finds out jason died from the newspaper (AGAIN? REALLY BRUCE?) and bruce had the fucking funeral WITHOUT HIM while he was still in space

“Gideon the ninth should adapted to a tv show!” “Gideon the ninth should be adapted to a game!” Youre all wrong, it should be adapted to a muppet movie.

Out of all of the people The Ghost King Phantom expected to relate to, it definitely wasn’t the scrawny red headed photographer of the Daily Planet. Jimmy Olsen has gotten so many temporary superpowers over his time being Superman’s friend. Hell, he once gained a 4th dimensional being’s reality warping abilities when he was given said dimensional being’s powers during a fight. Sure there’s a dozen or so heroes with the same amount of powers he has, but none as suddenly granted to them as a all powerful god that can relate to a teenager.

Ruined Town 🪲⚡️

I’m actually super proud of this piece, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone to do something dynamic & complex with hopefully a somewhat interesting composition, and I really worked hard on it. I’ve been feeling kind of down on my art recently tbh, like I’ve stagnated a bit, and this piece really helped me to experiment a bit more & try out some new brushes & techniques. Can’t wait to experiment & draw more soon! 🩵

there’s not enough lizzie ldshadowlady appreciation in this fandom and frankly I think we need to rectify this

she acts terrified of absolutely everyone except her husband, whom she is increasingly exasperated by. she and ren were rivalling dogwarts with their interactions. she was boogeyman twice in two different seasons and essentially did the exact same trap, that failed in essentially the exact same way, and somehow she still managed to get the kill because the person was too confused to process the fact they were being stabbed. she’s a fairy. she’s the shadow queen. she’s totally definitely pearl, she just has an amnesia cold. she spends half her time complaining about her husband, and the other half flirting with him in front of people. her dogs were named dragon, ogre and taxes so they’d be intimidating. ‘and so I left this world how I entered it: confused.’ she griefed the server. jimmy killed her.
