It really does make me wonder what else has been shot down by Fox. Because buddie is obviously the thing that we’re more able to clearly connect dots on even before Oliver started saying anything about any of it, but you know it’s not the only thing, we just don’t have the threads to pull on for anything else

Arcane hc about Steb and Maddie.

Steb can't talk like everyone else in the show, his words come out as like a trilling sound. So he typically stays silent because no one can understand him. No one but Maddie, when they first met and she heard it, she immediately made it her mission to learn how to understand him. After all, Maddie didn't think it was fair that Steb couldn't voice his thoughts due to no one understanding him. So when Steb lets out a trilling noise to voice his displeasure about something, Maddie immediately starts giggling at the language he uses. Such as "You moronic buffoon, that's not how it works, you're dumber than a rock without any damn brains you absolute fucking idiot".

This causes Steb to realize Maddie could understand him or at least has a general understanding of what he's saying. So obviously they become friends, after all, Maddie is the only person to make the effort to try and understand what he's saying. Obviously Steb takes it upon himself to figure out how to make it easier for Maddie to understand him. Mainly due to his trilling being more based on how his voice sounds and since he speaks more monotone and very rarely with emotion, it makes it much harder to understand him. So when he finally knows enough sign language to be confident in his ability in it, he goes to Maddie to tell her. Maddie is obviously excited because she understands sign language, one of her family members uses it so she has to know it. But the idea of having a friend learn it for her, is heartwarming.

So due to all of this, the two are close. They're always seen together because of the fact that they bothered to learn something for each other and only each other. It created a bond that couldn't really break. It's why when Maddie set out to go find Vi, Steb went along with her. He couldn't risk losing the only person who bothered to try and understand his words.

So the lush x minecraft enderman shower bomb looks like absolute shit and I’m in love

[warpedpuppeteer]

Me making jokes about Buck's jealousy and pretending it's not rooted in his fear of people leaving him, replacing him, forgetting him and being alone because, you know, who would stick around with someone broken when they can be with someone 'normal' because it gets sad real quick lmao

[rhys-ravenfeather]

Yeah no, Jack and Maddie Fenton aren't good parents or good people and you can't, and won't, change my mind.

[gumjester]

people have been pointing out the way i write maddie's awareness of the narrators is a lot more serious (and lowkey scary apparently 😭) than in the show/books and i just want you all to know that this is going to be a recurring theme throughout the whole rewrite. it's going to be a very killjoy retelling im sorry

[agir1ukn0w]

is it just me, or did simon’s weird jealousies over maddie’s relationships with other men rub anyone else the wrong way

i love how well the buckley siblings names fit together, daniel, maddie and evan just sound so good and cohesive and it does something to my brain

[stunfiskz]

actually i think the deltarune theory that makes me most upset is when someone tries to argue that anyone aside from mettaton is the lightner that swatch helped create the neo body

favorite part of both 911 shows is when one of the call dispatchers wrestled with the weight of their job. Not a lot of stories zero in on the difficulties of 911 call dispatch (even the best copaganda doesn’t pay it any mind lmao) so it’s always really interesting when you get that aspect - Maddie’s old lady rival and how much the dead end calls completely ruined her mental health, the way Maddie herself got triggered into an awful spiral when reminded of her own history of abuse during a call, May struggling at detaching her emotions from the situation while staying alert and kind, Josh & Sue looking after the callers and making sure they’re healthy, and i like seeing that carry over into Grace’s stories.

She was much more isolated in her role initially but having her new friend Dave, someone who is wildly different from her but just as committed & passionate about helping people, working through a health emergency bc someone is on the phone and needs his help. I like seeing Grace shook up by the SWAT-ting call, and the way Judd tells her it’s not her job to be suspicious. It ties into the overreaching theme both shows touch on when it comes to firefighting or being a paramedic - sometimes, you don’t get closure for something that scars you. You can’t get stuck or unsettled by it, because the next caller could be in the middle of the worst day of their life and they need you to be focused for them. Grace has to go out and find that closure on her own, it’s not something she can just expect and she’s aware of that. Bad shit just happens sometimes and they have to figure out on their own how to handle it.

just finished the first season of the traitors uk and im just saying those winners were only kept around cos they were all so cliquey and dumb and easy to manipulate. that last act of revenge was beautifully done and im so glad the traitor didn't win. I have no idea how he then turned it around as if he was super relieved he hadn't won when he'd just been belittling, betraying and screaming at everyone beforehand. They all believed him??? They literally forgive men of anything even ones who just lied to their face and ignore women like Maddy just cos popularity contests I -
