the only thing that still worries me is that Grian's spownpoint remain at Bamboozlers' base to this far point in the series

Like why? one subs can't afford a bed, is he drawn to the pink color?? or he just likes sleeping on Scar's bed???"";,

And what's actually hilarious is that nobody says anything and acts like everything's fine🥹

I don’t like talking about the more serious stuff when it comes to Lily, because I’m truthfully bad at it, but it baffles me how she thinks because Courtney isn’t the ‘perfect victim’ or how people in the community disagree with her or fight with her that we’re supposed to suddenly just stop believing her?

Unlike Poppy we can disagree on things and still understand someone is a victim. Where not you Lorch we’re our belief and support only happens when it benefits us (Patch).

You know what would be funny?

If they come upon them filming the lightning strike scene with the actor stuck up there,

Eddie looks at Buck for a second to check he's still there in one piece,

Then sighs exasperatedly, goes "Chimney?"

Chimney goes "Yep" and they both proceed to do what they did that night, making it look almost easy and rehearsed, with Buck frowning in the background.

Not to nitpick but leftists have been posting reading recs and information on community building and security culture. Liberals and dejected Harris die-hards are the ones hoping Republicans and third-party voters "get what they deserve" and see their families get deported.

Like, wishing death and suffering on a group of people for voting differently or advertising different political priorities (however misguided and ill-researched they may have been) is a fascist in nature. here's hoping @dialectiddy for one was trolling when they said #i hope they all die

Trump voters on tiktok are EXTREMELY mad about the following:

They just found out what tariffs are

They just found out what denaturalization is

They (particularly black and Hispanic trump voters) just found out that other trump voters are racist

Leftists and liberals don't want to be their friends (they are furious about this)

Leftists keep telling them they hope they get what they voted for (they are really mad about this too)

It’s sorta crazy how a stupid TV show has been able to trigger my anxiety so bad, but it makes sense when I consider all I had been using my hyper fixation on it to distract myself from. Alas, my anxiety has brought back my insomnia which means I wake up sometime between 1am and 2:30am every morning and just MIGHT start feeling ready to fall asleep against around 5…When my alarm goes off to get ready for work.

But it leaves me a lot of time for random pondering. And this morning got me thinking of one thing that either pisses me off or gives me hope (I guess I’ll know eventually…)

They didn’t need a character like Tommy for Buck’s bi (? Maybe - That actually hasn’t truly been confirmed in canon 🙄) awakening.

This is going to sound a lot like some of the anti-Tommy talking points, but please stay with me.

It really COULD have been any good looking, cool guy who did it. Imagine Johnny, a 40yo adrenaline junkie sport type that Buck and Eddie meet during a big emergency the way they met Ali. Now unlike Ali, Johnny keeps it together during the emergency and like Ali helps them save himself and others. Could even make him a military man. Now they could leave this emergency all having one another’s numbers and something along the lines of 7x04 still could have happened.

Buck calls Johnny to see his fun exciting job/hobby, but Johnny is pulled away when Eddie shows up for them to go do something they’d already planned. Buck isn’t complaining to Maddie about Eddie spending all this time with the new guy, but it’s not the cool pilot she already knows about but the cool free climber or whatever they met on a call. The same conclusions are still met with the conversation. Maybe the basketball game isn’t strictly first responders…Chim doesn’t have quite the same idea what’s going on since he really doesn’t know this guy, but he gets that Buck only asked him to the game because Eddie was bringing his new friend. Things still go badly for Eddie’s ankle and Johnny comes to the loft to apologize. There’s no talk about the 118 family, of course, but perhaps some other vulnerability about friendships and a kiss. There’s a date that still goes to hell. There’s coming out to Maddie and Eddie. There’s the coffee meet up. They could still have Buck go balls to the wall and invite him to the wedding despite him only really know Buck and Eddie. Johnny wouldn’t go to the bachelor party and maybe he comes to the hospital, maybe he doesn’t.

Their relationship does what Buck’s relationships do when there isn’t much connecting the person to his teammates or the plots of the show. Bobby can only say that Buck seems happy and settled…He can’t pass judgment on a person he doesn’t know. And they go through the dramas of the 118 together until something triggers a desire for a big move forward for Buck…And the same sort of break up happens.

It’s sad. It’s probably still a bit offensive. But there was never any loss to what could have been brought to the show overall by the departure of Buck’s latest partner, even if he was new in some ways.

But that’s not what happened.

They decided to bring in an established character that could be molded into what they wanted. A firefighter. Better yet, a firefighter PILOT on a show about firefighting that could use some fresh emergency plot ideas. A character with history in the house that holds Buck’s family. With Chim and with Hen and even with Bobby if it’s not nearly as much since Bobby wasn’t his open hearted self back when Tommy was there. And Tommy wasn’t either.

So you have this character who is compatible with the job. He can make for interesting storylines outside of relationship ones. There isn’t going to be a lame break up because the job is dangerous. There isn’t going to be a betrayal based on their mutual prioritizing of work since they would both understand how the work needs priority. You have things you can explore putting the character in pairings with practically every other main and have it make sense.

All that potential by choosing to go with this character that fits so well to just NOT do any of it.

That’s the real loss I am feeling as a fan of the show from the beginning.

And yeah, I shipped BuckTommy and I had hopes for things I wanted to see between them because Buck is my favorite character and I love seeing him shine. I’m heartbroken by his heart being broken. I’m heartbroken because I saw all this potential that I assumed professional storytellers would also see and not squander. That assumption left me blindsided when it seemed they did squander it.

And everyone saying it was written on the wall - It wasn’t. Yes, Buck’s relationships always fail. That’s how things work - Relationships fail until one WORKS. And this one seemed like it should work. Unless you are watching through goggles telling you without a doubt Buck’s endgame lays elsewhere, there was no warning that this is what would happen at the 6 month mark of the relationship.

And it seems like a really dumb thing to do, to let go of such an interesting tool you have available to you as a storyteller. You didn’t have to make the character such an asset to you and the story.

Maybe I’m jumping the gun and they do have plans for possible stories in the future. Awkward emergencies with the 118 and 217 on a scene together for some reason that will use some of that potential. So maybe there is some reason to hope.

Or maybe it is just wasted. And I’m pissed as a fan of the show and as someone who feels emotionally whiplashed by 8x05 and 8x06.

I guess we’ll see. I refuse get my hopes up. Perhaps I’ll watch the show live tonight…Depends if being up at 2am means I’m exhausted by 6:30pm again today (I was only able to force myself to stay awake until 8pm last night). I’ll watch eventually regardless. But I’m probably back to watching the show the way I did before and how I currently watch Ghosts and Tracker…When I remember the show, I’ll binge what I missed. Or I’ll turn it on if I remember during the timeslot. It’s no longer must see TV for me that I will make plans around.

Anyway, done rambling…

cw: slightly suggestive when nanami kento saw his wife about to leave the house in a stunning, tight sundress, he swore his whole world stopped for a moment.

“honey?”

“hm?” you glanced at him, then looked back at the mirror, trying not to stab yourself with your earring. nanami cleared his throat. “where are you going?” he asked as he walked over, standing behind you and sliding his hands around your waist.

“i’m having lunch with my friends, sweetie. i told you that this morning, remember?” you raised a brow, confused. your husband nodded dazedly, his eyes glued to your figure.

“right.” he swallowed, his throat suddenly dry. “where are you going to have lunch?” he asked, his hands gently roaming over your body, feeling the fabric of the dress he so badly wanted to tear off you.

“that cafe we always go to…” you trailed off, finally securing your earring. “are you okay?” you met his gaze through the mirror. “i do this once a month—same place, same people.”

he nodded, humming in acknowledgment. you stayed silent for a moment, trying to figure out what had him so distracted. now that your earring was in place, you became hyper-aware of his hands, their slow, deliberate movements over your hips, squeezing in that familiar way that told you he was restraining himself from acting on his desires.

oh.

a blush crept up your cheeks as you realized nanami hadn’t seen this dress on you yet. you’d just bought it last week and forgot to show him. “kento?”

you called out to him, but he seemed too entranced by the way the dress clung to your curves. he leaned in closer, burying his nose in your neck, his hands trailing down to squeeze your thighs.

you let out a startled moan, hastily covering your mouth. he inhaled deeply, the scent of your perfume overwhelming his senses.

“your friends won’t mind if you’re a few minutes late, right?”

Anyways as someone who has attended kink events

There are fat people at the orgy

There are elderly people at the orgy

There are disabled people at the orgy

There are trans people at the orgy

There are neurodivergent people at the orgy

People with white collar jobs are at the orgy

People with blue collar jobs are at the orgy

Stay at home moms are at the orgy

Adults who live with their parents are at the orgy

Asexuals are at the orgy

And yeah in media "kinky" shit is always thin young perfect hard bodies in skintight leather and latex but I that's the image in your head you should probably know that a more realistic link event looks less like Eyes Wide Shut and more like passengers of a public city bus attending two to three various costume parties and they're all having a FANTASTIC time that will occasionally get sidetracked by an incredibly passionate conversation regarding the history of Roman catholicism in Eastern Europe or various species of invasive birds

Which is to say that if you've managed to locate a kink community near you but are nervous about joining in because you think you're not young/fit/skinny/rich/"pretty"/normal/charismatic/abled/horny enough then honestly you're probably fine, go to the munch and make some friends

It would NOT be an arachnid by that logic preying mantises are arachnids because they have wings. Its clearly IF ANYTHING an insect!

as for the wing question ...

Depends on if one of the parents is an angel or a Pegasus. If the parents both have wings I feel like the centar could end up with both sets.

(this is all for shits and giggles don't come for me)

If a centaur had wings, would they be on the horse back or the human back? Example/diagram included for clarity. I’ve been going back and forth on this for days

distracted by the fact this would give them 8 limbs, so by "centaur is an insect" logic this would be an arachnid

anyway i reckon on the horse back just so their poor spine doesn't have to support the weight of almost a whole horse while airborn
