[chronicowboy]

Since you mentioned Buck is your least favorite I am curious what’s your ranking ? And is this a I love you but I just love (blank) more situation? Because I’m constantly changing my ranking in 911 for that reason like I love everyone so damn much and I’m constantly switching depending on the season making me focus my love more on certain characters so I’m wondering if this happens to other people as well lol

it's definitely a I love you but I love blank more situation, they're all sooooo perfect to me (in that they're deeply flawed, real characters) and i love each of them deeply but i'd be lying if i didn't say i had favourites so:

eddie diaz - are we surprised? he's my number one. he's literally everything to me. there isn't a character like him in existence. best dad in the world because he's made mistakes and he's learning as he goes but he loves christopher with literally everything he has. petty little bitch who is actually the kindest most compassionate guy out there. friend of lesbians and women everywhere (unless they're a morally bankrupt reporter). i could go on but then this would possibly be the longest ask i've ever posted and also i would get no more work done today.

chimney han - VERY close between him and number 3 and also VERY close between him and number one to be honest. he's my favourite little guy. honestly more babygirl than eddie to me sorry. second best dad in the world (ONLY because he hasn't been doing it as long as eddie). ultimate wifeguy, real simp. rebar AND lady magnet. karaoke king. just. HE'S THE HEART OF THE 118!!!!!!!!!!!

henrietta wilson - LOVE OF MY LIFE! she has never done anything wrong in her life ever (and by this i mean that of course she has but she learns from it). the hen and her mom storyline in suspicion is literally one of my favourite things the show ever did because although i'm not a woman of colour i am a woman who never would have got diagnosed if it weren't for my mum there to advocate for me every step of the way. also an ultimate wifeguy.

bobby nash - HE'S MY DAD BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE! no he's everyone's dad. never been happier for a character to be so severely wrong as i was when he said the 118 wasn't a family, sealed his fate, dear dumb dad. literally what can i say about him? i LOVE it when characters have to unlearn their grief and learn how to open up to the world again - he's my number one.

athena grant - loses points for copaganda but mother! she's just so uhhhhhhh. idk. i look at angela bassett and my brain stops working. she's just. so full of love. but also she gets angry. and she's protective of her family. and fjfhgskgbjktg.

maddie buckley - honestly love her so much especially in the earlier seasons but i feel like season 6 lost her a little bit. but yeah she's my pookie bear. no but fr such a beautifully complex character. i LOVE her SO much.

evan buckley - sir your sad eyes, abandonment issues and dog motif are very sexy god bless you just do not have that jenny say quack the rest of these guys do. To Me. if i knew you in real life, i would despise you probably sorry :/ but i love your extensive amount of issues <3

[bisexualgoths]

she has a certain jenny says quack, you know

[maguro13-2]

Hilda : If I can't think about my hot pants, then I'm about think about it til I sort this problem! I really need to think about it and sit down.

*Hilda sits on the see saw too hard*

Pikachu : Great Scott! I'M FLYING , HEEEEELP!!! *Freezes+grunts*

*A satellite bursts through Pikachu*

Hilda : Uhhh, oops.

*alternate take*

Hilda : Oh well, I might as well think about it and sit down.

Pikachu : Screw you and your cakes!

*hits the see-saw too hard that sends her flying*

Hilda : OH, NOOOOOOOOO!

*Goes into a big plane*

Hilda : Woohoo I'm saved! *Quack*

*Realizing that she's in a military aircraft*

Hilda : Uh-oh. *Surge approaches*

Lt Surge : Get off my plane!

*Kick*

Hilda : WOAH!

*holds up sign : YELP!*

[Metamorphoser by Junichi Masuda]

*ZOOM*

Hilda : *falling* AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! HELP! I'M. FALLING IN THE SKY!

Misty : HOLY COW! SHE'S FALLING TO THE GROUND! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Somebody do something!

Hilda : I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I can't watch!

Dawn : Hilda! Hilda! You're gonna have to land at a safe point!

Hilda : What safe point!?

Dawn : You have to use your cakes and make a safe landing! And whatever, you do, don't hurt yourself on your landing!

Hilda : Will this be good enough!?

Dawn : Not exactly that much of a safe landing point.

Bianca : Don't you know anything about safe landing with your bum all the time?

Brock : Not exactly as Cops : Jenny Edition starts til 4.

Hilda : I'm gonna make it? I'm gonna make it! I can't believe that I'm actually doing it! I'm really gonna make it! *Laughs triumphantly* Victory is--!

*DBZ SFX: Energy Explosion+Wave*

Hilda : I did it. My cakes did come in handy, I'm saved!

Gloria : (with a goofy voice) Nice landing with your ass, Unova girl! Also...I would like to ask anyone who can find my spleen.

Dawn : That was some nice landing for you, Hilda! Great work on that cake landing thing!

Hilda : Heh. It was too worth it, my cakes have been a lot of power since they've grown stronger each day. I wonder how I have been eating those candies?

Dawn : Beats me! Some say that having cakes is what you bake, and that's how are we gonna take. Also, not to go easy bake on your bum, but there's a catastrophe that you caused pointing with my thumb!

*the world is in chaos caused by Hilda's mistakes*

*people screaming and panicking*

Hilda: Oh, shucks! I over did it! This is not what I did to bake my cake! Darn it!

Misty : Oh, we spoke too soon about the stuff that happens.

*Imaginary scenario ends*

Hilda : I told you before guys. My butt is not fat! And it's worse than you think. So that is why...I'm wearing Bike Shorts for the next semester this week!

May/Haruka : Why would that be a problem to not having your sizes?

Hilda : Isn't it obvious? I realized what deep stuff that we are in today, I having minor situations about body porporations, see my pants, my bum can totally fit in and besides, what's the worst thing that could happen?

*RIPPING*

Kid from Ned's Declassified : I got her cheesy everything!

May/Haruka : *gasp* Hilda! Look at your self!

Hilda : Huh? *looks down on herself and reveals to be naked*

*SFX : Boing*

Hilda : EHHH!?! My clothes!

Dawn : Cover your shame!

Hilda : Hey! That kid stole my clothes! Oh...This is so humiliating! I'm calling the manager to get me a fresh pair of clothing. Hopefully my bum is not too big and bright.

Misty : Which is why your bum is tanning it on my face.

*sizzling*

Misty : And it's burning my eyes.

Hilda : Like I even care about that! Also, my buns are burning, would anyone put me some sunscreen? I really need to put on some coppertone sun screen.

Trainer Black : *looking at Hilda's ass* Hot Dog!

*SMACK*

Hilda : YAAAH!

*later shows a hand mark on Hilda's butt cheeks*

Hilda : Why did I even think about having sunburns like this nowadays?

Another example of a hugely popular show it's hard to find content from is Oprah. Biggest talk show on Earth for two decades, and it's impossible to find full episodes or even many clips. But for different reasons: Oprah keeps tight control over her archives, and only lets people access what she wants to see. She also, in her later years, became incredibly sanctimonious, so a lot of what's available is brief clips with modern Oprah "reflecting" on them. If she regrets something now or is embarrassed by it, it just stays locked up forever.

For instance, OWN's not exactly uploading all the interviews she did where she promoted quack alternative medicine, or the multiple interviews she did with Jenny McCarthy and other anti-vaxxers where she let them promote debunked books about autism completely unchallenged. She simply most show how much she has Grown and Changed by suppressing evidence of the harmful shit she promoted

Today I learned her interview with James Frey, a widely discussed and parodied event watched by millions of people, is straight-up not available anymore. A transcript is, at least, but the only footage is in, well, a short clip of modern Oprah reflecting on the experience, since all of her history needs to be filtered through her

A lot of lost media is that way bc of contemporary apathy and it's even more remarkable when it's a popular thing. There's no greater example of this than The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the biggest talk show for decades, but which only survives as random clips since no one really liked it enough to preserve outside of recording when a guest they liked was on it

Johnny Carson runs in syndication, you can find Conan and Letterman and Jon Stewart and Craig Ferguson footage everywhere. But when Leno retired (both the first and second time) websites doing "top ten famous moments!" couldn't find footage for most of them. They still can't.

I only know about this bc someone on Reddit posted about a special episode of Leno that was hosted by candlelight due to power outages & it made those "famous moments" lists, but no one can find it, or even enough documentation to make it clear what it is (was it due to a real outage or out of solidarity with them?). By comparison Conan O'Brien had to host one show on the Today Show set due to a fire early in his run, early enough that his show was still largely unpopular, and that's all been on Youtube for a decade. Tens of millions of people watched that episode and all the other ones live and it's all been erased except a few promo pics because no one really cared all that much since, well...it's Jay Leno

July babies stand uuuuuuuup !!! I turned 22 and still had time to do my crafts. What a wonderful time :)

1, 2 & 3) I revamped an old photo shoot I did in 2018. It was great but needed that extra Jenny say quack. My cousins ate this shoot up.

4) I printed and mounted the picture in the home office !

5-8) July’s 35mm film favs. July was definitely the summer time vibe. Nothing but smiles and happy moments.

9) My brother had a fantasy football league and needed a logo. Little sister to the rescue for the No Beard League !

10) I shot my friendship shot at work and now I have a great office friend. It’s a shitty boo boo note but I still think it’s one of the best pieces of July.

what I really wanna do is make a webcomic but I refuse to do one of my stories like that until i’m SURE it’s gonna come out visually correct

[rowens-lemonsweetz-blog]

Last year I decided to draw in my 1st Tumblr account. So, I drew this. My new post.

[nemfrog]

Dr. Fox and the mortal remains of Jenny Wren. The life & death of Jenny Wren. Between 1833-35. The book exposes medical quackery in a nursery rhyme. 

[squorkal]

So I was thinking about how I adore Louie in the DuckTales reboot and how he's fairly similar to Quack Pack Huey (which, unironically, is my favorite).

But then I got to thinking about thinking about the episode where Huey has an irrational fear of house cats and about DT's Louie having bad luck like his uncle.

Anyway, long story short, now I have a headcanon that Louie has a deep seeded fear of black cats.

[nancydrewwouldnever]

So he was going for the double-play of being a homewrecker and a cheater at the same time, what a multitasker! *golf clap* // ok, but are you sure he cheated? Were they together at the time and was it serious? we know they've been together on and off. and I think there were even some pictures of them together before Before we go, and they weren't in a relationship at that time? and I don't think we really know what his relationship with Jenny looked like and when it started

I think if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

And everything at that time in 2015 was very duck like.

*kicks (a wholly un-kinky, sfw/sft, bit of silliness) into the void*

Day 16: Pet Names - 1100 words

The thing is, everybody has a pet name.

Some are obvious: Bombs, Cass, Queenie, and Lightning Bug. Jenny will not tolerate anything else... except when she allows ‘Dottie’ (to this day Quaxo doesn’t know how Tugger managed that). He still refers to Macavity as ‘Macca’ sometimes, he’s never called Munkustrap anything but ‘Straps’ as far as Quaxo knows, and he calls Jemima ‘dove’.

Some are more clever: Numinous and Arcane, Imp and Puck, Sir Pouncington Cival III and Et Tu (and really, when had Tugger ever read Shakespeare?), Cadence (Demeter’s reaction when he’d first call her that was admittedly very funny), and Miss Misc. He has even referenced Quaxo’s uncle as Uncle Brummell, though he has the good sense not to say it to Bustopher’s face.

Some were initially calculated to annoy and eventually became fond, like Slinky (which Alonzo still will not cop to liking) or Jelly Roll (Jellylorum swats every time he uses it but she somehow always misses, even when he’s right next to her). Every so often he uses Augustus instead of Gus just to see Gus Jr roll his eyes and hide a smile. Plato has been ‘Socrates’ for as long as Quaxo can remember, and George remains ‘Curious George’.

So yeah, everybody has a pet name. Everyone but him.

He can’t even blame it on being new to the junkyard, since both Alonzo and Victoria have had names bestowed on them

“Don’t push your luck. He’s just going to wind up calling you ‘socks’ or something,” Alonzo yawns.

“What if it means he doesn’t actually like me?”

“I really don’t think that’s a problem,” Cassandra says dryly.

“But—.”

“Have you asked him?”

Quaxo draws back in horror. “But then he’d know. I’d never hear the end of it.”

“But I might,” Alonzo grumbles.

Cassandra nips his ear. “Be nice.”

“Ow.” Alonzo pulls his most pathetic ‘hurt’ face. When Cassandra remains unmoved, he pouts and rolls onto his back. “Seriously, Quax, just ask him about it. But if he starts calling you ‘duck’ or ‘quack’, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

“You realize that not having your name mangled makes you special among the tribe?” Cassandra asks.

Quaxo frowns. “Special?”

“There isn’t a cat who gets away with their name unscathed. Except you.” She punctuates this with a whip of her tail across his back.

“Do not tell me he respects my little brother more than his own father,” Alonzo groans.

“He has a name for Old Deuteronomy?” Quaxo whispers, eyes wide.

“I can neither confirm nor deny that he has been overheard to refer to his father as High Top, Esq, providing Old Deuteronomy is not available to hear him,” Cassandra says sagely.

Quaxo can’t help but smile; that sounds exactly like something he’d expect from Tugger. It also means that even Tugger’s father has a special name and Quaxo is definitely the only cat who doesn’t. He curls his tail around his paws and sinks down into its meager cover.

“Oh, now see what you’ve done? You’ve made him sad.”

Cassandra kicks Alonzo and licks Quaxo’s cheek. “Love, it really doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you. Just talk to him if it bothers you so much.”

Quaxo sighs. Apparently, he has no choice.

One never knows when the Rum Tum Tugger can be found in the junkyard. He comes and goes (nobody knows exactly where to) as he pleases. There is no rhyme or reason to his visits but Quaxo has always had a sense for them. He just knows that Tugger will visit, so he sits out that evening, watching the sun disappear behind the human dwellings near the junkyard from the roof of the rusting car. He keeps one eye on the main gate because the Rum Tum Tugger can certainly creep when he wants to.

The Rum Tum Tugger isn’t creeping tonight. His paws land heavily on the ground as he walks through the main clearing. His path is roughly aiming for his den. Quaxo stands to draw Tugger’s attention. He arches his back in a stretch and jumps from the car roof to the boot.

“Tugger.”

“Out late, eh, Quaxo?”

“Just watching the sunset.”

“Sure you weren’t waiting for me?” Tugger chuckles. He joins Quaxo on the boot, wrapping his tail around his paws.

Quaxo sighs. Now or never. “I wanted to ask you something.”

Tugger lifts a surprised eyebrow. “Oh?”

“Why do you give everybody pet names?”

Tugger’s head cocks to the side and he hums. Quaxo waits to be made fun of but for a long while, there are only the sounds of London between them.

“Seemed a thing to do,” Tugger says at last.

“What?”

“It annoyed all the right cats for a while.” Tugger shrugs. “But then they all got used to it. I was going to stop because it was boring not to get a reaction, but the first time I didn’t call Straps Straps after months of him swearing he’d have me sent to the pound, he gave me the biggest sad cow eyes.”

Quaxo’s lips twitched up. “And what about those who liked it from the start?”

“Them, it’s just cute. Have you seen how Pouncival puffs up? Or how Etcetera giggles? Seems mean to stop.” Tugger frowns. “Why ask? Did someone ask you to ask me to stop?”

“Would you?”

Tugger stretches out his back legs and resettles. “Depends on who.”

“What if someone wanted one?”

Quaxo forces himself not to cringe away from the dawning understanding. Tugger’s eyes twinkle. He lowers himself into a loaf, bringing his head down to Quaxo’s height, pressing their foreheads together. Quaxo keeps hold of his gaze in spite of Tugger’s knowing smile.

“This is because you don’t have one, hm?”

There is suddenly a spot of dirt on Quaxo’s paw that absolutely must be attended to. He grooms it fastidiously. Tugger chuckles. Quaxo figures he might as well clean his ears while he’s working on his paw. He turns slightly away so he can really work the back of them. Tugger’s paw lands on his shoulders and pulls him in. He’s purring like a chainsaw as he takes over grooming Quaxo’s ears.

“See… the thing is,” he says between long, rough licks, “I’m not entirely sure you’re ready for one.”

“What does that mean?” Quaxo grumbles.

“Dunno yet. There’s just... more to you.”

Quaxo cannot decide if he should be flattered or not. Tugger starts to groom his head fur backward and Quaxo wiggles away. He swats half-heartedly. Tugger catches his paw and kisses it.

“Show me?”

Quaxo smiles and calls on his magic
