BuckTommy Positivity Week Day 1/3 : what they love most about each other/meeting the friends and family

Slowly making my way through the @bucktommypositivityweek prompts! I'm not normally a big fan of shovel talks, but I thought Tommy deserved his own moment where his friends show up for him and have his back (and so does his boyfriend).

The bar was pretty much exactly like Buck expected it to be: plastered with an assorted collection of knick-knacks, military plaques, and wall art that Buck will just call inspired–fighting each other for wallspace all the way up to the low T-bar ceiling. The main source of light came from the ionized glow of the neon beer signs and the stained glass fixtures over the billiards tables that looked like they hadn’t been updated since the 70s. Buck was pretty sure he’d spotted at least three fire code violations just walking through the doors–but that wasn’t what tonight was about. 

A small section tucked between the fleet of pool tables and the dart boards had been reserved for their party, and from his spot at the bar Buck had a clear view of where Tommy was leaning against his pool cue, his posture the most relaxed it’s been since they’d hit Grand Junction as he laughed with the group of men gathered around him. 

Buck couldn’t help but smile. The longer they’d driven, the more tense Tommy had become, and Buck had begun to worry that maybe this hadn’t been such a great idea after all. Now he felt like he could finally breathe; they’d booked it up the 15 and onto the 70 on the way here, and Buck was looking forward to taking their time on the way home, finding the scenic routes and exploring the one road towns and tacky tourist traps they stumbled across. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d taken a week off work that hadn’t been the result of a near-fatal injury. 

“You know you’re the only person he’s ever brought to one of these,” came a voice to his right, one that Buck had only recently become familiar with. 

With great pain, Buck drew his attention away from Tommy to the person settling in at the bar beside him. Dave. He was the only one of the guys here that had been with Tommy since Fort Irwin. He had a wife and two daughters and a boxer named Jones–all information Buck had learned, not from the man himself, but during their three day drive from L.A. to Colorado Springs–which Tommy had used to give Buck a rundown on pretty much everything he knew about his old battalion mates from their rank down to their dental records.

“I’m happy to be here,” Buck said, meaning it. He hadn’t been expecting an invitation, taken completely off guard when Tommy had asked him so casually, as they got ready to head out for work one morning. He’d presented it like it would just be a good excuse for a fun road trip and not what Buck was starting to piece together in his head was actually a monumental gesture. Either way, he’d agreed immediately.

Dave was watching him like he was trying his best to punch through Buck’s skull and peer directly into his brain. Buck had a feeling Dave hadn’t really made up his mind about Buck–yet–and if there was one thing he was going to change by the end of the night it was that.

“Tom said you’re also a firefighter.”

Buck twisted in his chair so they were facing each other. “Yeah, actually I’m at Tommy’s old station, transferred in not long after he left. Kind of funny how things work out, eh?”

“I’ve heard stories,” Dave said in a tone that implied not all of them were good. 

“It’s not like that anymore,” Buck assured. Gerard’s second reign of the 118 had been over for a while now and Buck had been informed by Hen and Chimney that although it had been unbearable, with more eyes on him, Gerard had not been nearly as bad as the first time around. 

“I’ve heard that too.” The corner of Dave’s mouth ticked up. That was the most charitable he’d been thus far. “Tommy has a lot of good things to say about the new crew there, especially you.”

Buck wasn’t above preening a little at that. He knew all about bragging about his partner to anyone that would listen. He was practically a pro at it at this point. If anything he and Tommy had a little competition going on at this point. 

Dave’s eyes flicked over Buck’s shoulder and back. “Listen, I don’t want to overstep here because Tommy will be fuckin’ pissed at me, and I’ll never hear the end of it–but, you seem like a nice guy, and I just want to make sure you know what a big deal this is. These shindigs used to host a few more bodies before Tommy came out. Just don’t hurt him.”

He could hear Tommy’s laugh, the full-bodied, knee-slapping one he only did when you really got him cracking up or he was about three pints in, or both, floating over the din of the bar. Buck could pick that laugh out of any crowd. He could follow it home.

Dave was watching him with a curious expression, and maybe Buck hadn’t totally won him over yet, but he had a feeling they were at least moving in the right direction.

 “I won’t. And I–I won't let him know you gave me the shovel talk if you rat me out either, because he doesn't know this yet and I want him to hear it from me first, but Tommy's one of the most amazing people I've ever met. He's one of the first people I've been with in a long time that makes me feel like I can be myself, unconditionally, and I just hope I make him feel the same way, because I love him.”

“I think it’s safe to say he does.” The corner of Dave’s mouth twitched up in the amused beginning of a smile. “But you should probably let him know that instead of me, just saying.”

Buck rolled his eyes as Dave clapped him cordially on the shoulder. It looked like he wasn’t off the hot seat yet. 

He held out his glass and was pleased when Dave clinked them together. It was progress. 

///

It was 1 am when they finally made it back to their motel, the latest Buck had been out in a good long while. He’d taken the keys from Tommy before they’d even left for the evening and now he was swooping around the cab of the truck to catch his boyfriend as he nearly tumbled out of the passenger side door. 

“Easy there,” Buck said as he tried his best to steady Tommy on his own two feet, a task more difficult than it sounded. 

“I think I lost my keys,” Tommy moaned as Buck grabbed his jacket and locked up. 

“No, see I’ve got them right here.” He jangled them in Tommy’s face and watched him grin before slipping them into his own pocket. “Don’t worry I’ll give them back to you later, here let me help you out.”

He slipped his arm around Tommy’s waist, pulling him a little tighter against his side than was probably necessary.

Tommy’s clutched at his shoulder, melting against him. “You’re so nice to me.” 

“What else would I be?” Buck chuckled as he steered Tommy towards their room. He was just glad that Tommy was a placid, happy drunk–if a little handsy. “Come on big guy, let’s get you to bed.”

It was a struggle to get the door unlocked and Tommy through it with two-hundred odd pounds of boyfriend hanging off him, trying to worm his fingers under Buck’s shirt and breathing hot and damp against the juncture of his neck.  

When they finally stumbled inside Tommy starfished onto the bed, the poor old motel mattress groaning in protest beneath his weight. 

At least he looked like he wasn’t about to try and get up any time soon. 

The soft hum of the window AC unit filled the room, a pleasant contrast to the guitar riffs of the hair bands the bar had played all night. Buck filled up two cups of water, leaving one on his bedside table before settling down on the mattress beside Tommy and nudging him until he sat up. 

“Here, drink this,” he said and helped Tommy tilt the glass up to his mouth without spilling it all over himself. 

Tommy was pawing at him as soon as Evan’s hands were free. “Evan, Evan–” he said, reaching out to grip Buck’s face with both hands, pulling him closer. The special smile Buck was beginning to learn was just for him, creasing his face. “You wanna hear a secret?”

“Of course, anything,” Buck said, letting himself be manhandled and feeling real goopy and affectionate about it. 

“I love you,” Tommy said, with a lot of eye contact and the sort of drunken earnesty that made Buck’s heart just about trip out of his chest. Then Tommy frowned, his gaze going unfocused. “I’m going to be really sad if we break up.”

Buck allowed himself a chuckle at the sudden, unwarranted disappointment in Tommy’s expression. “Me too, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.” 

“Really?” Tommy asked, perking up.

“Really. I love you too, and I’m going to remind you of that tomorrow when you forget all of this in the morning.”

“I won’t forget,” Tommy insisted. 

“Okay, whatever you say, boss.”

Buck went to the bathroom to hit the head and brush his teeth and by the time he returned Tommy had managed to wrestle out of his shoes and his pants, still spread out across the covers in his shirt and socks like a massive toddler. Buck shook his head, ditching his own shirt. Tommy reached out, making grabby hands at him as Buck kicked off his jeans and crawled under the sheets beside him. He was instantly wrapped in an only slightly sticky bear hug. 

He pressed a kiss to the cowlick at the top of Tommy’s head. “You’ve got some pretty great friends.”

With more awareness than Buck expected in his current state, Tommy said: “I hope Dave didn’t bother you too much tonight, I could tell he was giving you the third degree for a bit there.” 

“Dave and I are cool,” Buck assured. “I’m glad you have guys from back then who’ve still got your back.”

Tommy went quiet for a bit after that and Buck was just figuring out how he was going to wiggle out from beneath his boyfriend without waking him to turn off the lights when Tommy muttered, “I’m glad you came with me. I was tired of coming to these by myself.”

“Any time you want, I’ve got your back too you know,” Buck whispered, holding Tommy tight in the cradle of his arms. 

“I know,” Tommy said, and Buck fell asleep to the thump of Tommy’s heartbeat pressed against his own.

Ship dysphoria

Ok so a bit of time has gone by, and the 9-1-1 fandom is settling into a bit of an...existential crisis?

Because 90% of this fandom is built on Buddie. Buddie has always been the strongest driving force. We love our other blorbos, but it's Buddie that usually drives us feral.

Except...Buck/Tommy. OMG. It is WORKING for a lot of fans. (and JFC we cannot settle on a ship name. Tevan? Kinley? I'm gonna stick with Buck/Tommy)

A LOT of fans are having a "I'm a devoted Buddie shipper, why do I like this so much??" moment and it can almost feel like a betrayal, or that you're deserting the ship (the ship that, remember, Oliver told us to stay aboard).

And I think I can probably speak for everybody when I say that the last thing we want or need is a ship war in this fandom, something we haven't ever really had but which has torn other fandoms apart.

So I'm gonna put on my veteran-of-many-fandoms hat for a second and tell you a thing:

It's okay to ship Buck and Tommy. It's ok to do that and still ship Buddie. It's also okay to leave Buddie behind if it's not working for you anymore. It's okay to just tolerate Buck and Tommy and not really care about it, and stay focused on Buddie. You are allowed to ship however it works for you, and you are not limited to one and only one ship. If you decide you don't think Buddie will happen and you're going to cut your losses, that's okay, too. It is not a reflection on your character or something. You don't swear an oath of fealty to a ship.

We don't know how long Tommy will stick around, but Buck will still be bisexual. He may date another man. He may date a woman again. You can ship those things too.

But why is this ship hitting me so hard? I never thought I'd like Buck with another man! I'm so confused!

I get that. There are some reasons why that might be.

There is something very appealing about a ship that's canon. Some of you might never have had a canon queer ship, but the pull is strong. There's no guessing, no interpreting, no subtext-examining. It's there, it's real, you don't have to wonder if you're just overinterpreting things. Yes. Buck and Tommy kissed and are going on a date. Even if that's all it ever is, you'll never be accused of "seeing things that aren't there." Don't discount that.

Tommy, even in just 1.5 episodes, is a LOT more integrated into the firefam than any of Buck's previous girlfriends. Tim talked about not wanting him to be "siloed off" away from the main cast and that was exactly the problem with his prior girlfriends. Tommy is friends with Eddie. He knows Christopher and has hung out with him. He spent most of that loft conversation reassuring Buck that his place in Eddie's life was secure. He feels more like part of the gang than any other ones. That makes it easier to see him in Buck's life.

The mere fact of Buck's queer awakening is so monumental for so many of us that the character who helped him get there is going to naturally earn our affection immediately, and it's going to make you want that relationship to succeed, even if it's ulitmately not endgame for Buck. You want to see Buck have a good experience the first time out with a man. Of course you do.

And we just want to see Buck make out with a hot beefy firefighter. That is so valid of us.

Anyway. There is no need for a crisis. You can love Buddie with your whole heart and still be excited about this pairing, and want to see how it goes, and read fic about it. I may be writing a lil something myself.

You're good, fam.

Calling all besties to debate with me!

Hotd modern!au, what would Criston work with?

I particularly see him in something like military official or a firefighter, lieutenant or capitan, something that involves fighting and security of some sorts.

In the same au, what would Alicent do?

In my head, she probably would divorce and have to redo her life, she's very clever, and I believe that she well versed in history, culture, knows a little bit about language and dialects, so I see her as either a professor or a tourist guide, I totally can see her showing monuments and explaining it, and I also can see her doing a slide presentation and telling students to write an essay for next Tuesday.

I also think about the children, Aegon would totally try to drop out of high-school and give up college, furthermore as a way to help his mother after the divorce. However, Alicent would force him to finish school and tell him to get a half-period job (maybe in mctargaryen), but I think he would try to take care of his siblings so his mother wouldn't worry.

Helaena and Aemond would clean the house and attempt to make some food (pasta, that's a lazy home alone sibling food), and I picture they would fight over who's turn it is to change Daeron's diapper (he only begin to walk recently).

Anyway, tell me you guys opinions and hc, I need some ideas.

Do people say "happy Oxi Day" in Greece? I'm Greek American and have very little idea how people actually celebrate today

Hello and χρόνια πολλά! This is our go-to wish for every occasion, including the Ohi Day. For non-Greek speakers, it means "(here's to) many years". Before the day arrives we also wish "Καλή επέτειο!" which means ¨Happy Anniversary¨, meaning the Anniversary of Ohi (No).

The day is one of the two (or two and a half to be exact) national days Greece has. It is a national holiday, only restaurants and cafes are open for the people to celebrate. This day museums and archaeological sites are also open and they have a free entry. Everything else is shut down though.

The most notable thing about the No Day is the school and military parades that take place all over Greece. Remote areas with little population may only have school parades. Larger areas have a mixed school and military parade. Athens and Thessaloniki, the two largest cities, have separate parades for convenience. It is customary that on October 28th, the major military parade takes place in Thessaloniki and on March 25th it takes place in Athens. So today it was in Thessaloniki. The major military parade includes heavy artillery and shows from the air forces. Sometimes on these days surviving historical warships from the 40s are moored to the big ports for people to see and visit.

Photos from the military parade in Thessaloniki and an evzone who went viral for tearing up.

And one from the school parade in Athens.

This day most TV channels have a thematic Ohi program, featuring movies, documentaries and talk shows about WW2 and Greece's history in it.

Now the working day before the October 28th (and the March 25th) is also a school holiday, however students still attend the school and have celebrations there which they prepare with their teachers for quite some time. This school celebration includes reciting poems, speeches, theatrical plays and music choirs. The best student (aka the one with the highest grades) of the school is announced and receives the flag, which they will use on the national day because they become the school's σημαιοφόρος (simeofóros) flagbearer in the school parade. The next five best students become the παραστάτες (parastátes), who join the flagbearer in a parade formation a little in front of the rest of the school. Between the flagbearer and the parastates and the rest of the school there is often a διμοιρίτης (dimirítis) marching on their own sort of guiding the rest of the school, who is singled out for their stature and / or their good march, so they give the rhythm to the rest of the kids. The school march is joined by the physical exercise teacher who is responsible for it and walks on the kids' side.

Oh also early in the morning, before the parade starts, the students and the authorities of every region and I assume representatives from the military as well lay wreaths at associated monuments, usually monuments to the Unknown Soldier.

Of course, I forgot to say that aside from being a school and military parade, the parade also features surviving war veterans, folklore and traditional associations from all around Greece, the scouts, the Red Cross staff, the students of the military schools, the police, the firefighters and more.

Happy rest of the October 28th!

Friday 2nd December 1960 saw tragedy strike when a firefighter from Glasgow Fire Service lost his life at a fire on board the German cargo ship MV Pagensand at Prince’s Dock.

The story started a few days earlier when the vessels crew had discovered the fire on the Tuesday that week, when they were 2 days out of Gothenburg, Sweden. A decision was made to seal the holds and make for port. Smoke still continued to come from the hold. What made matters worse the ship was carrying matches and paper!

The Captain had radioed a warning ahead and the vessel was advised to head for The Forth and dock at either Leith or Grangemouth but on getting closer to Scotland decided it was safe enough to make it to Glasgow instead.

When the ship docked at Princes Dock, Govan late on Thursday the officer in charge and the Captain agreed that the sealed hatches would remain in place until daylight.

On the Friday during daylight the deck cargo was cleared and the firefighters prepared for entry into the hold. When the hatch was opened several firefighters and some Dockers went below. Within minutes there were shouts for help and 11 firefighters and a Docker had collapsed and also required rescue.

Station Officer Douglas Mearns could not be revived after the incident, he was 45 years old, married and had three children, there is a plaque at the Millennium Bridge remembering him, members of Govan Fire Station pay tribute to him their annually on this date, SO Mearns is also on the Monument to the firefighters at Necropolis.

Look. I'm fucking done here.

I'm fucking furious. I've had ENOUGH of people shit talking Kristen Reidel for being "antibuddie".

Newsflash you imbecils, it's OBVIOUSLY blatantly untrue!! She's been here for us, from the very start, to lay out the foundation for queer Buck and Eddie. She's written, directed and been the executive producer for some of the most monumental buddie moments!!

Maybe take a moment to understand that these shows are huge and one person does not have all the say for how things work out. These people do not work in isolation, doing whatever they like!

Let's remember that the show used be on Fox, which is arguably one of the most conservative networks there are!!!

The show already had several main queer characters and romances when Eddie's character entered the show in season 2. We also know that the main target audience is fairly tradional, and the show is freaking expensive to make without a huge profit in return. We KNOW it has repeatedly struggled to get renewed due to that.

Let's remember that creating a show like this is not an existence of stress-free creative indulgence - you are actually responsible for HUNDREDS of jobs! The show's survival! People's income! The crew isn't just a couple of known actors, it's also everyone else making the show, and these productions are HUGE. It's so many families income at stake.

So WAKE UP and realise what they've been against, creating this show.

I'm like obnoxiously queer but even I would get nervous at the idea of similtaneously airing several queer ships on a show about emergency responders, on freaking Fox!

Seriously, just stop to think. What if they had gone for blatant buddie early on?

The show would have had to juggle... let's do some math...

Hen, Karen, and Eva being queer and raising a rainbow family,

Michael's coming out storyline, then his and David's romance, Josh being very much gay and dating men... Add to that Buck and Eddie, and that's MANY prominent queer characters, story arcs and romances trying to compete for air time... ON FOX, in a show about firefighters!

The risk of the the largely conservative, homophobic audience on a conservative channel going "it's too much" and abandoning the show was REAL, don't you pretend otherwise.

Sure, there are other less easily intimidated audiences, but how would they know if the leap into the unknown would pay off?

I think in those circumstances they made a very sensible decision to focus on the other queer characters anf storylines first.

Again, it's hundreds of people's incomes at stake!!! There must have been people, funders, bosses voting against adding more blatantly queer storylines to the current situation because it was just not the right time.

So Kristel Reid was CAUTIOUS when she gave interviews. Remember, the future of the show has been uncertain from the start with how expensive it is to make!!

She did not want to give false hope to the viewers hoping for buddie come true. She did not want to be accused of queerbaiting. She very sensibly made sure to appear neutral about buddie, and give the UNTRUE impression that her head canon is that meh, they're just straight friends to her.

Quite frankly folks... NEVER PLAY POKER WITH THIS WOMAN, I think she'd eat you in a minute!!

She LIED. Fucking absorb that information. Breathe it in! You can do it! She's been obviously rooting for Buddie to happen for AGES.

Why do I say this?

Well here's my fucking powerpoiny about it!!! Read this and take a minute to consider her innocent "oh they're the very bestest of friends"-front against her actual work on the show!!

She WROTE 5x18, you know, with Ravi's line to Hen:

"I think it's sweet that Karen was defending you. I mean, isn't that what we all want in a partner, knowing they have your back?"

She's no spring chicken, she wrote this fully knowing the memory we buddie shippers possess!!!

She WROTE the scene in which Eddie comforts Buck at the hospital after Maddie's kidnapping.

She WROTE 3x01, that's the scene in which Eddie bursts into Buck's apartment when Buck's feeling down and has Chris hang out with "his Buck".

She co-wrote Eddie's disgusted reaction to meeting Abby, she co-wrote Buck hearing that Chris is going on a two-week school trip and freaking out like a mother hen,

She WROTE freaking 4x14 - You know, the episode SURVIVORS, in which Eddie is shot by a sniper!! In the queerest way possible!!

She WROTE Desperate measures, you know - the episode in which Eddie breaks up with Ana, freaking oozing repressed queer subtext all over the place!!

Have you even watched the talk Buck and Eddie have before the breakup?!!! It's INSANE.

---

Buck: Ah. I thought you'd be the first one out the door. Christopher know you're coming?

Eddie: Not yet. I haven't figured out what I'm going to say when I get home. To Ana.

---

Try telling me that "door" isn't the door of a closet, I challenge you!!

She freaking co-wrote 5x17!!! The META of Taylor, in 5x17 "promising" she won't "run the story", and then breaking that promise.

That same episode has Eddie visiting his home btw, and paints a very illuminative picture of the environment Eddie grew up in - it practically spells toxic masculinity, compulsory heterosexuality, catholic guilt. Really, that episode basically screams "This is why Eddie is such a repressed onion."

THAT episode also has THAT insane closet door scene, Eddie opening a closet door as Buck says:

Buck: You know, your parents will understand!

Eddie turns to stare at him.

Buck: ...They should understand. *Plays with a toy dinosaur as he's talking, and pretends it bites his finger.*

... And again, after that episode she wrote 5x18, the one with "Isn't that what we all want in a partner, knowing they have your back?"

An obvious parallel to Buck and Eddie meeting and promising to have each other's backs!!!

....

Seriously, Kristel Reidel has had our back from the very beginning and I'm fed up with people talking shit about her!! I think it's no coincidence that one of the emergencies she wrote was "someone stuck in a freezer", that's fucking meta. I bet she's wanted to fucking hit the pedal but she's been forced to bide her time, and it's been fucking agony at times.

And don't even get me started on Tim fucking Minear, who people have ALSO shit talked because "hE jUst liKes tO QuEerBait".

BE FUCKING GRATEFUL FOR KRISTEN REIDEL, YOU utter... *censored*.

BE GRATEFUL FOR TIM MINEAR. They are our freaking GOATS and they deserve our love!!!

Edit. After reading up some more about the power structures of media networks like these... I would really not be surprised if it turned out that the people running this show (such as Reidel and Minear, the people listed next to the episodes) have had even less say on what sort of stories they get to do than I've thought.

After all, these people we fans focus on and know by name... They're really not nearly as influential as we think. There are still plenty of big chiefs higher up in the food chain. I've heard some vague rumours before that the network has meddled with the show's creative decisions a lot in these past years, and would not be surprised if it was true.

Here they go again, blaming the wildfire catastrophe in Los Angeles on Climate Change when the actual culprits are the very politicians who never stop howling about what is a monumental hoax.

In the first place, of course, the raging California fires, like those which have periodically gone before, are largely a function of misguided government policies. Officials have essentially curtailed the supply of water available to LA firefighters, even as they have drastically increased the supply of combustible kindling and vegetation which feeds these wildfires. The latter, in turn, are being amplified by the seasonal Santa Ana winds, which have visited the California coast since time immemorial.

The kindling at issue stems from forest management policies which prevent the removal of excess fuel via controlled burns, which are fires intentionally set by forest managers to reduce the build-up of hazardous fuels. As we amplify below, red tape and bureaucratic obstacles have frequently delayed or prevented these controlled burns, allowing brush, dead trees, and other flammable materials to accumulate excessively.

In this case, state and Federal politicians have simultaneously curtailed the supply of water available to Los Angeles firefighters in order to protect so-called endangered species. Specifically, southern California is being held hostage by sharp curtailment of the water pumping rates from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in order to protect the Delta Smelt and Chinook Salmon.

Mother of All Omelettes: Ultimate Crowd-Feeding Version

A Recipe by ChatGPT

Ingredients

Eggs: All the eggs you can find (start with 100 and escalate as needed)

Milk or cream: Enough to make a pond (approx. 1 gallon, give or take)

Salt: A fistful, measured in chaotic pinches

Pepper: A small mountain

Butter: Yes. (At least 1 pound. Or use bacon grease for maximum absurdity.)

Fillings:

10 lbs of assorted meats (bacon, ham, sausage, smoked turkey—why not throw in some hot dogs?)

10 lbs of cheeses, the stinkier and gooier the better (Blue cheese, Gruyère, and Velveeta together? Sure!)

1 bushel of vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, zucchini, maybe a stray carrot for chaos)

1 surprise ingredient (potato chips, marshmallows, leftover pizza, or... gummy bears?)

Optional Garnishes

Entire loaves of garlic bread, toasted

A waterfall of hot sauce

Literal sprigs of parsley (to pretend it’s sophisticated)

Instructions

Begin with Intention, Lose Control Immediately Crack all your eggs into a cauldron (or the nearest industrial-sized mixing bowl). Spill a little—it’s part of the charm. Add milk like you’re conjuring a potion and whisk until your arm is sore.

Summon the Fillings

Cook meats until they demand respect.

Sauté vegetables until they beg for mercy.

Shred cheese with the determination of someone carving a monument.

Assemble the Chaos

Heat the largest skillet, wok, or hubcap you can find. Melt butter until it threatens to take over the kitchen.

Pour in the eggs like you’re starting a flood myth. Stir occasionally but don’t get attached—it’s going to be wild.

Unleash the Fillings

Dump in the meats, cheeses, vegetables, and your surprise ingredient all at once. Stir like a mad scientist.

Attempt to Flip It

You won’t succeed. That’s fine. Instead, fold it in parts or let it splatter gloriously. Cover the pan with whatever fits—another pan, a baking sheet, or sheer willpower.

Finish in the Oven (or a Firepit)

Transfer the whole thing to the oven at 400°F (or as high as it will go without summoning firefighters). Bake until it looks like food.

Serve with Drama

Slide the omelette onto a table (or assemble everyone around the pan like it’s a medieval feast). Garnish aggressively. Provide weapons, not utensils.

The World Without Phones: A Journey into Chaos and Communication Breakdown

Imagine waking up one day to find that phones, as we know them, have become nonexistent. The comforting buzz of notifications, the ability to connect with loved ones at a moment's notice, and the vast ocean of information at our fingertips have vanished. In this reality, the repercussions would be monumental, transforming every aspect of our daily lives and plunging society into chaos.

Communication Breakdown

The first and most immediate impact would be the breakdown of communication. In our hyper-connected world, phones have become the primary means of interaction. Without them, people would revert to more traditional forms of communication—face-to-face conversations, letters, and landlines. While these methods could still facilitate connections, they would also slow down the pace of life significantly. Urgent messages, quick check-ins, and instant updates would be replaced by long waits and uncertainty.

The lack of real-time communication could lead to misunderstandings and heightened tensions. In a world where timely responses are crucial—such as in emergencies, business dealings, or even social coordination—the absence of phones would create a chaotic environment. Friendships would strain under the pressure of miscommunication, family members would find it difficult to stay in touch, and the very fabric of relationships would fray.

Impact on Business and Economy

Businesses, too, would face dire consequences. The modern workforce thrives on speed and efficiency, much of which relies on mobile communication. Without phones, remote work would become nearly impossible, stifling productivity and collaboration. Entrepreneurs and small businesses would struggle to reach customers, leading to a significant economic downturn.

Logistics and supply chains, heavily dependent on instant communication, would collapse. Delays in shipments, breakdowns in coordination, and the inability to track inventory in real time would lead to shortages and chaos in markets. The global economy, already fragile, would face unprecedented challenges, with many businesses forced to close their doors permanently.

Emergency Response and Public Safety

Perhaps the most alarming consequence of a world without phones would be the impact on public safety and emergency response systems. In times of crisis—natural disasters, medical emergencies, or public threats—the ability to communicate quickly and effectively is paramount. Without phones, emergency services would struggle to respond swiftly to incidents, leading to lost lives and increased risk.

Communities would face vulnerability, as people would be unable to report emergencies or receive crucial alerts. The lack of coordination among law enforcement, firefighters, and medical services would create a perfect storm for chaos. Panic would ensue, and trust in public institutions could erode, fostering a sense of fear and helplessness.

Social Isolation and Mental Health Decline

As phones have become integral to our social lives, their absence would lead to widespread feelings of isolation and loneliness. People rely on their devices to connect with friends and family, share experiences, and find support. Without phones, many would struggle to maintain these connections, leading to increased mental health issues.

Isolation could exacerbate existing mental health conditions, leading to a surge in anxiety and depression. The younger generation, already facing challenges with social interactions, would find it particularly difficult to navigate friendships and relationships without the immediate connections provided by their phones.

Information Void and Misinformation

In today's world, information flows seamlessly through our devices. News updates, educational resources, and social media platforms keep us informed. Without phones, access to information would be significantly hindered. People would revert to traditional news sources such as newspapers and television, which may not provide the immediacy or comprehensive coverage that today’s digital platforms offer.

This information void could lead to increased susceptibility to misinformation. In the absence of real-time fact-checking and reliable sources, rumors could spread like wildfire, leading to panic and confusion. The challenge of discerning truth from falsehood would become a societal crisis, as people struggle to find reliable information amidst the chaos.

Cultural Shift and Adaptation

While the immediate consequences of a world without phones would be chaotic, it could also lead to a profound cultural shift. People might be forced to reconnect with their surroundings, engage in face-to-face conversations, and rediscover the beauty of human interaction. Communities could come together in ways that have been lost in the digital age, fostering a sense of belonging and shared experience.

However, this shift would not come without its challenges. Adapting to a slower pace of life would require significant adjustments. The relentless rush of modernity would give way to a more deliberate way of living, which might be welcomed by some but resisted by others who thrive in the fast-paced digital world.

Conclusion

The prospect of a world without phones is a daunting one, fraught with challenges that could lead to chaos and societal decline. Communication breakdowns, economic turmoil, public safety risks, social isolation, and the struggle for information would create a perfect storm of crises.

Yet, amidst the chaos, there lies the potential for transformation. Society could emerge with a renewed appreciation for face-to-face interactions, community bonds, and the power of human connection. The journey would be fraught with difficulties, but it could also lead to growth and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human in an increasingly connected world.

In the end, the absence of phones would force us to confront not only the chaos that ensues but also the core elements of our identity and our relationships with one another. It would be a test of resilience, adaptation, and the enduring power of human connection.

Poseidon (2006)

There are just enough moments in Poseidon that work to make you see the movie it could’ve been. Even then, there’d be no reason to watch it when the original The Poseidon Adventure is readily available. This movie has great special effects and a lame script full of dull characters you’ve seen a million times before.

On New Year’s Eve, the SS Poseidon capsizes after being hit by a huge, rogue wave. In the ballroom, a few of the survivors attempt to make their way to the bottom (now the top) of the ship, where they hope to be rescued.

This movie starts off on the wrong foot with the character who is essentially our protagonist: firefighter-turned-New York City Mayor Robert Ramsey (Kurt Russell). Ramsey is all upset when he walks into his room and sees his daughter Jennifer (Mike Vogel) and her boyfriend Christian (Mike Vogel) in an embrace. His ability to be a cliché is only eclipsed by douchebag gambler “Lucky” Larry (Kevin Dillon), who might as well walk onto the screen with a big “dead meat” sign hanging around his neck. We already have an “antagonist” in the form of the ship that’s upside down and slowly sinking. Why did writer Mark Protosevich feel the need to add all of these petty dramatic subplots and one-dimensional characters? I will be fair to Poseidon and say that some people’s deaths I didn’t see coming but for the most part, the passengers are such obvious types you know exactly what will happen to them the second they walk on-screen.

This is a remake of the 1972 film/an adaptation of the novel it was based on, but only loosely. Everyone we meet is new (which explains why none of them are interesting) and it’s only the concept of the ship being turned over that’s been retained. It feels like the opportunity to have some big, explosive visuals was the only reason this movie was made. To be fair, the special effects are some of the best 2006 had to offer. You get your money’s worth during the scenes where the ship gets flipped and everyone on the inside is sent flying through the air. There are also some good scenes of tension as the survivors desperately make their way through one obstacle after another. That said, some of those obstacles are ridiculous and would be insurmountable anywhere other than in a movie. There’s a particular scene where screws holding the cover to a large ventilation shaft have to be undone in record time to prevent everyone from drowning, and none of it is believable at all - not even for these artificial characters. Or maybe it would be believable in another movie, but here, it isn’t for the same reason that the original “The Poseidon Adventure” worked: The movie is too short. You never spend enough time with anyone to get to know them properly. When someone dies, it often feels rushed, or like the movie wishes you were more emotionally invested in them than you actually are.

Poseidon is not all bad but it’s forgettable. Even with the Academy Award-nominated special effects, you won’t be impressed because nowadays, it feels like we get movies like this one every other year: disaster flicks with plenty of vehicles/monuments/buildings destroyed that make you go “Ooh! Aah!” and then stop caring because the people in the middle of the action are afterthoughts. (February 3, 2023)

ANALYSIS OF MIRACULOUS LADYBUG.ORIGINS PART 1 LADYBUG AND CAT NOIR (PART 6, T6 and LOCATIONS, Notre Dame Cathedral and Sorbonne University)

ANALYSIS OF MIRACULOUS LADYBUG. ORIGINS PART 1 LADYBUG AND CHATNOIR (PART 5)

4 THE NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL: the NOTRE DAME cathedral is one of those monuments that has appeared in the background, but it has not played as active a role as the Eiffel Tower or the Place des Vosges, we see it only in the movie, and that's because this location is entirely felinette, and the creators reserve it for the big reunion between these two. That's why it only comes out in the background, the bond between Felix and Marinette will be planted in season 6 onwards (remember that Felix was barely introduced and fully known in season 5 and even then it came out in just a few chapters).

Ok to start, the cathedral is active in the film at the time of the ladynoir encounter, but also, where they have their first battle together and experience what it is like to work as a team for the first time.

It's also where Chatnoir proclaims his love for Ladybug.

The film is born from the pv, Who is chatnoir in the pv? Felix, so this ladynoir encounter is with Felix being chat, the cathedral appears again here in the form of a seal along with wayzz, who represents the care of Marinette by Felix as chatnoir, so this confirms what I said in the opening.

Now, we say in that fragment that it is a second encounter, because the first is with Adrien, so will Félix be a second stroke of luck? As I continue above, because the color of the seal confirms it, navy blue, the kwami ​​sass, who represents the 2nd opportunity, a 2nd opportunity in the heroic field, a 2nd opportunity to have a strong, loyal and, above all, protective companion.

And to top it off, this seal appears below the one from the Trocadero (which represents Chatnoir being Felix replacing Adrie) so it is very clear.

-NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL: LADYNOIR/FELINETTE LOCATION, 2nd CHANCE FOR MARINETTE AT HEROISM AND LOVE (FELIX AS CHATNOIR)

5 SORBONNE UNIVERSITY: (Place de la Sorbonne) in this case it is not a monument but rather a university called Sorbonne.

This university appears in the background in some episodes (such as Siren season 2 or Passion season 5).

but it does not play an active role, that is why I think it is a case similar to the Notre Dame cathedral, we will see it more active in season 6 onwards, since it is when our protagonists pursue higher education, we will then try to see what This seal tries to tell us what clue it leaves us for the following season (6 and 7).

researching this university, certain modalities are currently being studied.

Based on this we have 2 possible options, of those who can study there.

marinette / kagami

This is where confusion arises, none of these are related to art, exactly what Kagami and Marinette are dedicated to, and I emphasize this, since I thought that this would be the 1st option since the seal is red.

This color is representative of both, but seeing that this type of modality is not currently studied, there is little probability that this is the case, but there is always the possibility that they change, after all this is a fictitious series and it is invent said data. (like the case of Marinette's bakery, which is inspired but there are things changed)

Adrien / Félix.

ust as confusing, because to begin with we have no idea what Adrien wants, with Félix we can have a slight idea from the clues they have given us, it is wishmaker, it talks about the profession of firefighter or magician,

We know that the magician is Félix, so by that rule of three the profession of firefighter would be referring to Félix, we also know that he likes reading, so being a writer could be another option, this is more aimed at what It would be studied at a university like this.

We know that Félix will surely stay in France for Adrien after the tragic events to protect him and also now that he is Kagami's boyfriend. So in theory it would also fit perfectly for someone to study here, but of course the red of the seal is what puts me off.

WHICH OF THE 4 WILL IT BE? THEN I PUT MY HAND ON THE FIRE By Adrien And Felix, the clue is in Mermaid season 2.

Mermaid is the first chapter where this square and university appears in the background, but also, the roof and dome of said university is where the discussion between Chatnoir and Ladybug takes place and more importantly, where Chatnoir ALMOST GIVES UP his Miraculous! !!

To begin with, this chapter, the highlight is the resignation of Adrien as chatnoir and what we have talked about above in relation to the Notre Dame cathedral and the other monuments, the replacement of Felix to Adrien as chatnoir!!! So this is connected, and you can see why he gave up and left Ladybug behind, the lies, (this is something that many of us already theorize today) the fact that he can't stand the lies, this occurs here in the university so for me, it is a clear clue that he studied here and therefore also Félix, (since he is his protector)

But also, what does not cause his resignation? Aha, teacher Fu, through Fu they tell us about Félix, so the fact that he is present there would confirm that they studied together.

Now we don't know what Adrien would study, but we do know what Felix would study, and again this same scene gives us the clue, what is this chapter about? of the new aquatic powers, try to figure out the formula, mix and experiment.

The fact that they are aquatic powers connects with the sea, and the water, and this, the emotions, and therefore with argos and the sentisers, it may be that Félix decides to study science or health to help them, or understand them better. This world, being sentiser and never having help, we know that he has made it clear that he fights a lot for those of his own kind, he is like a leader, but a good leader.

But above all, he would do this to protect Adrien. The fact that in that chapter he was precisely given a pipette with the potion is quite scientific, so he would focus on the area of ​​health and to confirm this, he himself Fu is dedicated to topics related to this, only focused on the natural and spiritual field, for example meditation, palmistry, reiki, etc...

So the thing is clear, this will be the university where Félix studies health, literature or science.

So how is red justified? well this is the best.

Because another of the people on whom his care is going to focus is Ladybug, and at this point, this is already more than known with the amount of clues that they have given us in the last scenes, and here the resignation and justice would also be justified. about Adrien, Adrien is not going to know how to take good care of Ladybug, and Félix does, it's like he's going to be on top of everything, he's going to accept that, for example, Ladybug lies to him, understanding her role as guardian and so on, and this goes to be a healer for Marinette. That's why the seal is red.

To top it all off, this one is next to the black Trocadero seal (chatnoir/felix) and navy blue Notre Dame (2nd chance/chatnoir/felix) it's like Félix is ​​going to know how to win it over.

To finish this post, notice that the sequence of stamps begins with the pink Eiffel tower (Marinette) and ends with the red university (Ladybug), this could be summarized as Felix's presence, his affection, his friendship It will help Marinette to carry and accept that duality that she has and her double life,

which we have seen is currently difficult.

-SORBONNE UNIVERSITY: SELF-LOVE, ACCEPTANCE OF LADYBUG, PLACE WHERE FELIX STUDY.
