the thing is im usually allllll for putting eddie in the torture nexus, its actually my favorite favorite thing, but it hits so different when its chris. when its the person eddie has tried so hard for again and again and again. when its this thing he's poured his entire soul and life and being into for YEARS to try and Not Fail His Kid. when its now his kid being merciless in punishing him. now the same kid is ghosting him for this one mistake that also hurt eddie terribly.
and i get it isnt out of place for a teen to do something like this, bc their emotions are so big, but can someone CALL THAT OUT? can someone be like yeah hes taking this a bit far lets maybe put a stop to it??? but eddie's parents are just ignoring eddie and letting this Angry Teenager uproot his entire life and break his dads heart while eddie is powerless to do anything about it because he, once again, so desperately, wants just to be a good father. but he actually kind of isnt being one because he doesnt value himself enough to be like oh hey, wait, you're actually being unfair. we need to discuss this. he can't teach chris that running and being selfish and icing people out is Not Healthy because that would mean prioritizing his own hurt over this months-long temper tantrum christopher is having. and it would be great if this arc ended in a way that addresses THAT.
and if no one's gonna explain this to chris, i just need someone to explain it to eddie, i really desperately need someone to actually comfort EDDIE. i need someone to tell him, or at least acknowledge, that it wasn't completely his fault. that he tried to stop it before it affected chris. that he did the right thing but then got ambushed by kim. or even that the whole kim thing must have Hurt Him Too. like someone just hold him or talk to him or ANYTHING in a way that isn't wow you really hurt christopher huh :(
but i honestly can't tell where they're going with it bc its been one episode. i just know i, like christopher and eddie, am having Big Feelings and DONT KNOW HOW TO PROCESS THEM.
there's so much potential and im tentatively excited but also hahahahasf i would like this particular torture nexus to end immediately. this is a kind of emotional horror that might actually give me heart damage. christopher diaz get over yourself and go home.
im really hoping all this leads to a VERY heartwarming reunion because if it does not then i have beef with a fictional thirteen year old im so serious. (also the diaz parents but i've had beef with them so.)
#eddie diaz#911 spoilers#911 s8 spoilers#im not having a good time#im having The Worst time#im prob just gonna blog a lot about this shit bc damn seeing eddie with the birthday hat#trying so hard#and looking so broken after it#actual tears in my eyes

Hello! I would love to hear about your favourite historical fictions - I've been looking recently for some nice historical mysteries specifically (I grew up on Brother Cadfael and I've been indulging in some nostalgic re-reading), and I am always looking for new ones if you have any in your wheelhouse. Thank you so much in advance, and I've also been enjoying everyone's recs for you - so thanks to them vicariously too :)
Not all these are historical MYSTERIES per se, but for historical fiction, this is what I can think of that I have read semi-recently and which comes to mind when I am away from my bookshelves:
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Longtime favorite, still love it; literary mystery! Dracula! Eastern European history! I also picked up her most recent one, The Shadow Land, and devoured it in about three days. There is both a historical and a contemporary plot line and I snarfed it all down.
The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh. This is not historical mystery, but it is gorgeously written and very evocative historical fiction/family saga, set in Burma around the turn of the twentieth century and exploring the changes of war, colonialism, family, destiny, and more.
Babel by R.F. Kuang. This is historical fantasy, but she is an ungodly brilliant writer, it's set in an alternate magical Oxford in the 19th century, it deals with history, translation, empire, culture, racism, language, power, and so much more, and the ending made me BAWL. One of my favorite books ever, read it.
Trust by Hernan Diaz. Booker Prize winner; multiple narratives; explores Gilded Age New York and different perspectives on history and truth; there's a mystery element to it but it's highly sophisticated yet easily readable literary fiction.
The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. This is more contemporary-sci fi, though its main plot is about time travel, history, how power uses that history, and more. I include it here because it's one of my favorite recently published books; it's funny, moving, and one of those books that sneaks up on you with unexpected depth, so I am adding it here.
Edited to add: If you love Brother Cadfael, I'm SURE you've read The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, but if not, yes, Posthaste.

I'm looking for pen pals to discuss poetry, art and culture, and daily life with. I'm 31 years old but I have the soul of an old, old man inside (or possibly an old woman that doesn't like people, lol). My passions are history (NOT military history); art; ethnic/traditional/folk music, classical and instrumental music; art cinema and foreign cinema; contemporary poetry (NOT rhyming poetry); literary fiction; architecture and design; historical fashion and crafts (a little); and vintage transportation. I am politically a socialist and I believe it's important to be politically and historically informed.
My favorite writers currently include Téa Obreht, Ruth Stone, Wanda Coleman, Anton Chekhov (his plays), and Natalie Diaz. My favorite films are many, but include The Lion in Winter, Days of Heaven, Russian Ark, The Eve of Ivan Kupalo, Dreams (Kurosawa), and more. My favorite tv shows are 30 Rock, Veep, Fisk, Parks & Rec, and Poirot.
Some things I need to get out of the way immediately: I like historical fiction and magical realism, but I CANNOT STAND genre fiction (horror, thriller, romance, anime, high fantasy, sci-fi, any of that). Stans and stan culture make me uncomfortable. I hate video games, LOTR, Star Trek, and D&D. I loathe any media featuring Vampires. I'm truly sorry, but I just don't want to talk about these things. I'm a kind person, but I'm heavily annoyed by these things.
I would prefer someone my age or older to chat with, although it's not a hard rule. They must be emotionally mature. I am fine with pen pals of any nationality, but they must be fluent in English. I am open both to chatting informally online and to exchanging more formal long-form letters on a monthly basis. I am comfortable using Tumblr, Discord, or email to chat.
I can't open DMs or Asks, so if you are interested please just like or reblog this post and I will be in touch with you.

Hello All!
I’m just popping in here to let you all know that a most beloved AU is celebrating a birthday today. @buddie-buddie is first and foremost one of my dearest and greatest and best friends but she’s also the creator of one my absolutely favorite fictional pieces I have read in all my life. I say piece because if I could list it in my top five favorite books, I would. I read White House AU in the middle of the pandemic and I could not put it down. I read it all day. I reread it when I need comfort. I read it when I was distracting myself from getting nervous before surgery. I reread it when I need to cry or smile or laugh. If I could carry this fic around in my pocket I would. The tab to this page is always up on my phone. It’s a fic that feels like a warm hug and it’s not surprise it feels that way given who wrote it. Ella is a bright spot in this fandom with her kindness, sense of humor, and her talent. Please take a moment to go give her and her masterpiece love.
If you like President Buck and Special Agent Eddie Diaz who are sassy and yet so in love in makes them stupid? This is the fic for you.
So thank you the author that created it and Happy Birthday to the fic that has meant so much to me.

maybe
prompt: animal trap
whumpee: eddie diaz
fandom: 911
hi! here's the first of three eddie fics in a row, which i have just realized i wrote as i'm typing this. get ready for a barrage of me beating up my favorite (fictional) firefighter :)
Eddie doesn’t like this place.
It’s an old house, half-collapsed and completely abandoned, sitting in the middle of a large, yellowed yard that is filled with various pieces of debris - old car parts, scrap metal, and the like.
It is also on fire. So far, the flames have not engulfed the entire place, but it’s a matter of minutes. And then, there’s all the dry grass, and beyond that, trees.
He’s in front, pulling the hose towards the house, trudging through the overgrown grass and kicking aside the occasional gas canister or piece of rotted timber.
He doesn’t even see it, it’s buried so deep in the grass, likely having laid there untouched for at least a decade.
He doesn’t know what’s happened, at first, and thinks he’s just twisted his ankle. He stops walking and looks down, and then the pain hits him at full force.
There is a bear trap, rusted but very much functional, clamped onto his foot. Its teeth have punched right through his boot and into his flesh, and it fucking hurts.
He sort of sinks to the ground with a strangled yelp, his right leg stuck out from his body at a strange angle in an attempt not to jostle it.
“Hey, guys?” he calls to his team, who are already hurrying towards him. “I might need a little help over here.”
Hen gets to him first.
“Is that a bear trap?”
He nods and then sucks in a sharp breath as her fingers touch the trap embedded in his foot.
“Jesus,” is Chimney’s contribution. “Who puts a bear trap in their front yard?”
Bobby and Buck hurry past them, picking up the hose Eddie’d dropped as a loud popping sound reminds him that there’s still a fire to be fought.
He focuses on watching the flames and watching Bobby and Buck attack the fire from the outside. Hen and Chim are stabilizing his foot, and it hurts. Every slight movement sends a wave of pain up his entire leg.
He watches Bobby and Buck enter the building, and doesn’t look away until they’re back, the house behind them smoking but no longer aflame.
By the time Bobby and Buck return to them, Hen and Chim have gotten Eddie onto a backboard, prepped for transport in the ambulance they had not expected to be making use of on this particular call.
They get situated in the ambulance, and Eddie reluctantly allows Chim to give him a small amount of morphine. Every second that goes by makes his foot hurt worse. He can feel it throbbing in time with his heartbeat, which is already too fast.
He wants the damn thing off of him, although he knows that they can’t remove it now without potentially causing more damage. But he can feel the teeth digging into his skin and it’s awful and he wants them out.
Chim notices his discomfort, places a hand on his shoulder.
“We’ll get this thing off you in no time,” he says. “How you holding up?”
Eddie shrugs. “Been better, been worse,” he replies, trying to keep his voice even. Fuck, this hurts.
“It’s only a few more minutes. Sure I can’t talk you into a little more of the good stuff? It’ll help, you know. There’s no point in making yourself suffer. It’s only us here.”
“Fine,” Eddie relents, because it does really hurt, “but only a little.”
Chim pumps his fist like he’s just won a prize, and injects a small amount more of morphine into Eddie’s IV bag.
It helps, of course. The pain recedes in his mind, just a little bit, but enough to make a difference.
“What did I tell you?” Chim asks. “We carry this stuff for a reason.”
Eddie raises his hand in mock surrender. Chimney has a point, though Eddie isn’t sure that he wants to admit it. But what’s the point in suffering needlessly? In not accepting something that can ease the pain?
“Maybe you’re right,” he admits.
Maybe there is nothing to be lost from accepting help. Maybe there is nothing to be lost from admitting to pain.
Maybe.
thanks for reading! hope you liked it, love youuuu <3

2023 Reads: thelonelybrilliance
Final count 72! I set a goal of 52 originally but raised the bar when I realized that would only bring me into early November.
Decided it would be fun to share some stats and recommendations along with the full list.
First, ten recommendations:
The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner (best completed series)
Gregory Orr, The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write (best new poetry read)
Minka Kelly, Tell Me Everything (best memoir)
E.B. White, Here Is New York (best short read)
Carrie Fisher, The Princess Diarist (best journals)
Sydney Taylor, All-of-a-Kind Family (best children's lit)
Laurie Halse Anderson, Shout (best poetry memoir)
George Eliot, Middlemarch (best classic)
Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart (best food writing)
Red Rising series by Pierce Brown (best sci-fi/ongoing series + best audio drama (Red Rising (Book 1))
Of my 72 reads, 31 were rereads, 41 new . Four were audiobooks, the rest print (primarily e-books). My longest read was David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. My shortest read (I think? A lot of poetry collections are short) was the longform essay, Here Is New York by E.B. White. I read the most books in December (15) and the least in June (2). 50 authors were women, 21 were men, and one poetry collection was multi-author. My most-read authors were as follows:
Megan Whalen Turner (7 books)
Lucy Maud Montgomery (6 books)
Louise Glück (5 books)
Elizabeth Wein (5 books)
Jane Austen (3 books)
Pierce Brown (3 books)

Join us as we celebrate the films that we love starting with Movies That Make You Want to HUG the Weekend! The List, in no particular order:
Tenet In Her Shoes John Wick Chicago It's Complicated Train to Busan Honorable Mention: Call Me By Your Name, I Am Legend
Tenet, 2020 From the opening scene, Tenet is an electrifying blend of heart-pounding action and mind-bending science fiction. Director Christopher Nolan delivers a captivating and visually stunning film. The Protagonist, portrayed by John David Washington, is a complex figure who moves through the film asking the same questions we have as viewers. The cast is fantastic, and there's this one unforgettable scene towards the end where The Protagonist has a revelatory, emotionally charged moment with Neil, Robert Pattinson's character, that leaves you heartbroken. I love this movie and will watch it again and again! -Alana
In Her Shoes, 2005 Often overlooked in the flurry of rom-coms released in the early aughts, director Curtis Hanson’s In Her Shoes exists as one of the most endearing films of the genre. In this 2005 gem, the film’s leads, Toni Collette, Cameron Diaz, and Shirley MacLaine, each deliver performances that are beautifully nuanced in telling the story of two estranged sisters finding their way back to each other, and themselves, after reconnecting with their estranged grandmother. Yes, this is a story about love - the unexpected ways we might find it, learning to permit ourselves to experience it, how it profoundly changes us, and what we are willing to do to rebuild it after it’s been broken - but this film is about so much more than that. In Her Shoes pulls the curtain back on how grief and mental illness change our relationships in ways that can reverberate through generations and how we might be able to pick up the pieces and build something beautiful for ourselves. This movie fundamentally changed me when I first watched it. I love watching movies exploring the depths of sisterhood, both loving and complicated, and this one just means so much to me. -Victoria John Wick, 2014 Keanu Reeves, a fan favorite, is dynamite in the John Wick series. The movies are action-packed, well-acted, and feature a simple yet intriguing storyline. Whenever I'm in the mood for an exciting film with snappy dialogue and an interesting cast, I always turn to a John Wick film. Among the series, the original John Wick is my go-to because what's more exhilarating than a grieving hitman seeking vengeance for his puppy and his car? I mean, if "you've effed with the wrong one" was a person, it'd be John Wick. I'm here for it! -Alana Chicago, 2002 Based on the 1926 play and 1975 stage musical of the same name, 2002’s Chicago is a soaring accomplishment from director Rob Marshall. This musical crime dramedy tells the spellbinding tale of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, both inmates on Murderess’ Row at Cook County Jail, as they chase celebrity and notoriety while awaiting trial. What is at once a tour-de-force of its own merit is also an enchanting homage to its source material, this film is one I simply cannot get enough of. The performances from Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, and Queen Latifah are electrifying and completely mesmerizing, each wholly embodying their lauded characters. Aside from the spectacular acting each delivers in this film, the musical performances are simply out of this world, with credit to the original music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb respectively, of course, but the production comes to life in a whole new way on the big screen. I watch this film a few times a year and highly recommend keeping the soundtrack in your rotation. -Victoria It’s Complicated, 2009 Oscar-nominated writer and director Nancy Meyers followed up a legendary four-film run (The Parent Trap, What Women Want, Something’s Gotta Give, and The Holiday) with 2009’s rom-com It’s Complicated. Starring Meryl Streep, with charming supporting performances from Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, this film follows a 10-years divorced baker as she navigates life as an empty-nester and discovers what might be next for her - which appears to include an affair with her now-married ex-husband (Baldwin) and a blossoming romance with the architect remodeling her home (Martin). This film explores the complications of divorce and moving on, while highlighting the joys and pits of rediscovering yourself, especially in your golden years. While this film was met with mixed reviews from critics, there is an undeniable sense of the Nancy Meyers charm that makes it the cozy and beloved film it is to me. Like any Meyers film, the set design is a character and story to discover in itself and perhaps one of my favorite elements of this movie - it’s an aesthetic feast! I have loved this movie for years and it’s one of those movies that pulls on your heartstrings, tickles your funny bone, and makes you feel hopeful for the future by the final scene. -Victoria
Train to Busan, 2016 Train to Busan is an electrifying and almost unmatched zombie film. Like any good movie, it has emotional depth. Your investment in the characters and their survival catapults you from scene to scene. Yeon Sang-ho’s directorial choices build the tension and suspense required for the film’s propulsion, but he also incorporates space for you to catch your breath. And with this plot, you'll need it. Gong Yoo and Ma Dong-seok are a great pair, using their ingenuity and sheer power to fight their way through zombie hoards. Whenever I'm looking for something exciting to watch, this film never fails to deliver. -Alana

Please STOP writing about the couch theory. STOP BRINGING IT UP SINCE YOU KNEW SINCE THE DAY THE EPISODE AIRED THAT IT WASN‘T ABOUT BUDDIE. Stop acting like you write the show it‘s getting beyond annoying. Instead write about you favorite topic: hating Shannon Diaz 😂😂🤣😂😅🤣🤣😂😅😅
Who gets this triggered over a fictional plot that didn't come true? It's not my fault nobody listened to Oliver when he told y'all not to read into anything that happened from 6x10 and beyond. & "Hating Shannon Diaz" is a funny way of saying "getting disgusted by people who excuse ableism", but I expect nothing less from this fandom. Idk what your issue is today, but I hope it gets better for the sake of everyone around you.

For the ask game: 9, 17, 20
9. Who’s your favorite mlm artist?
Not sure, I listen to a bunch of random artist and don’t really pay all that much attention to what their sexualities are💀 a lot of my main artists are women and (as I know of) straight men so
17. Do you tend to like masc, fem, or androgynous boys?
Mostly masc, definitely not fem. I’ve got nothing against them of course, I’m just not all that attracted to them.
20. Who’s your favorite fictional mlm?
I could GO ON FOR AGES but I’ll only list three; Alex Claremont-Diaz (RW&RB), Castiel (Supernatural), and Francis Abernathy (The Secret History.)
