#tilly watches 911

[gotbuckleys]

idk like this feels like the antithesis to everything. there were like zero indications this was in the works at least this early in their relationship which moved forward quite beautifully last ep. b*ddie is clearly not on the books at all despite what certain fans think. and now buck is back on the hamster wheel when i thought we weren’t doing that anymore??? it feels cheap and nasty.

What’s your favorite tv show that you wish more people watched (besides 911)?

ooh that's a good question! some shows I will always consider to be underrated (the colors mean nothing btw i just thought it was pretty):

Kingdom Hospital (2004): It's a supernatural horror about a haunted hospital. It has a sexy ghost (i had a huge crush on him when I was like. 12.) and wacky weird characters. It's hard to explain this show, but I say just give it a chance.

Raising Hope (2010-2014): this is one of those really feel good heartwarming shows, it's really funny and has often had me in hysterics. It's about this guy who has a one night stand with a girl who turns out to be a serial killer, and then he goes to see her in prison months later to find out she's pregnant. The show is him dealing with being a single father, and having a crush on this woman he met at the grocery store.

Chucky (2021-): It's SO funny. It has a diverse cast, young queer love, complex issues, some wacky fun murders committed by both Chucky and other characters, it has Jennifer Tilly reprising her role as Tiffany, I mean, what more do you need?

Misfits (2009-2013): Some petty criminals doing community service get caught up in a storm and end up with super powers. they do not use them for good. A++ comedy and story telling. Save me, Barry!!

Kinnporsche (2022): It's like a fanfiction come to life in the best possible way. It's gay, it's toxic, it's sexy, it's hilarious. It's literally such a fun time.

Money Heist / La Casa De Papel (2017-2021): I am literally begging people to watch this show. It's the best heist show ever made and I truly mean it. It's very character driven, and has some very fun found family dynamics! It's hard to wrap up into words just how good this show is. A character by the name The Professor hires a bunch of criminals to break into spain's main bank to rob it blind, and chaos ensues. Cannot stress it enough: just give it a chance!!!

Interview with the Vampire (2022-): I know this one isn't really underrated per se, but I wouldn't feel right not recommending it. It's sexy, it's toxic, it's scandalous, it's dramatic, it's bloody, it's everything.

once again @welcometololaland has tagged me in a thing and because i would do anything for her, here is that thing

2023 characters wrapped

this took way too long because i can barely remember what i did last week, let alone what i’ve watched/read through the whole year. also i gave up after seven cause honestly my memory is so shit this was hard lol

(in no particular order)

1. jamie tartt (ted lasso) i watched this for the first time like 5 months ago after getting excited about soccer watching the tillies and fell in love, there’s so many good characters but jamie’s the one that’s stuck for some reason

2. eric effiong (sex education) i have nothing more to say than i love him

3. abigail armstrong (dance academy) been rewatching this after getting back into dance for the first time in ages, and i actually kind of love abigail even though she’s the ‘villain’ in the first season, maybe it’s just a product of getting older but i just wanna protect her and tell her she’s gonna be okay

4. alex claremont-diaz (rwrb) again nothing to say other than love

5. marjan marwani (911 ls) i love marjan, and she had some of the best moments/episode in season 4, what a wonderful character

6. connor walsh (how to get away with murder) i loved connor when i was watching this show as it aired, but i finally watched the whole series through this year and i just still love him (even though the later seasons are kinda fucked but yay me for picking one of the few that survived to be my favourite all those years ago lol)

7. jenn mcdaniels (edge of nowhere series, elizabeth george) a real wild card, i read the first book in this series like literally 10+yrs ago and bought but never read the rest of the series. but while i was traveling earlier this year i started the series again cause it was on my kindle and jenn gets so much more interesting the more you learn about her in the later books and idk she also just kinda stuck in my brain (i think there’s a pattern here, i just love learning about the ‘mean’ characters and a good redemption arc lol)

Phaenaretes

Fandom: OUAT

Relationships: Rook & Rumple, Knighted Rook, Killiana

Summary: for some reason the curse that took everyone to Hyperion Heights turned detectives Rogers and Weaver into great midwives.

Note: this story is a gift for my dear @nropay, whose enthusiasm inspired me to write this little thing (there were some childhood memories of watching Rescue 911 involved in this too).

It had been this way since the curse had dragged all of them to Hyperion Heights. Regina had memories of a frustrated attempt of adoption, Henry thought he had no family, and him… he was turned into an excellent emergency accoucheur. He, the man fate had deprived of being present at the birth of both his sons.

“You are doing great,” he told reassuringly to the poor woman panting before him.

Weaver had attended several emergency births, but since he had been paired with Rogers, the rate had gone up alarmingly. It seemed like every woman in the last month of her pregnancy that passed near their peculiar neighbourhood was bound to cross paths with the odd detectives.

“I’m sorry, mate. It’s like I have a bloody curse on me or something. It’s been like this since the beginning of the Eloise Gardener case,” the poor ex-pirate had told him kind of embarrassed a few days after they had been paired.

Rumplestiltskin had kept his eyes fixed on the sink, as if washing his hands required his full attention. He had an idea as to why the curse had chosen to give Rogers a punishment that closely related to one of his past life most terrible traumas, and he thought there was nothing he could say to the poor man to make him feel better.

“Now, breathe, slowly… and… push!”

Making eye contact with the woman was difficult, but Rogers squeezed her hand and wiping her brow with his handkerchief, told her:

“We are here for you. Keep going!”

If Rumplestiltskin had not had more important things to focus on, he would have been amused every time he heard his partner speaking in that kind of soft, concerned way. He knew that deep down, the poor man was shaking. There was a reason why they had come to the arrangement by which Rogers assisted him and encouraged the woman in labor, and he took care of the baby.

He could now see the baby’s head halfway out.

“We are very close, this girl wants to see her mama!” He tried to make himself heard over the screams and then smiled subtly.

This thing of being impromptu accoucheurs had gone to the point in which Rumplestiltskin kept a set of towels and a box of surgical gloves in his car’s trunk and carried a pouch of hand sanitizer with him everywhere. At the precinct the odd couple had been dubbed the Phaenaretes, and both secretly liked the peculiar surname.

Today the emergency had caught them at the grocery store, as they were discussing if Tilly would like to try a new tangerine marmalade or if Rogers should just buy the same orange one as always. A cry for help made them leave the products right there and there and jump to the rescue.

A few aisles ahead, a pale clerk was trying to keep on her feet an equally pale lady standing on a little puddle of pinkish liquid.

“She’s coming,” the lady exclaimed haltingly

Then, everything, as always, went in a haze, Rogers calling an ambulance and all of them running to find the most appropriate place in that very awkward place for what was going to happen very, very soon. The manager had provided some towels, and they had accommodated her as well as they could, Rogers being the one in charge of the reassuring gestures and words.

This was the hardest part for Rumplestiltskin. It wasn’t only that he needed to stay focused: we are gonna have a baby. Belle’s face, her excitement and then her disillusionment and pain, her distress after giving birth, all those images came to haunt him, every single time. But then, once the child was about to be born… then he remembered the joy of holding Bae and baby Gideon for the first time, Belle’s joy of holding him again… life itself is a miracle of love.

And now, here they were again.

“Keep pushing… you are doing great, you are almost there…”

The baby’s head came out and started to rotate to the side. It was then that he noticed the umbilical cord around her neck. He gave Rogers a knowing look, and his partner squeezed the mother’s hand again and told her to breathe deep and concentrate. Rumplestiltskin tried to slowly put his finger between the baby’s neck and the cord, and to his relief, it loosened. He then nodded and Rogers told the woman to push again, just a little more.

First one shoulder, then the other and the little girl was out. Rumplestiltskin let out a breath.

“Here she is.”

The mother started to laugh and cry as he removed the umbilical cord from around the baby’s neck and wrapped her in a towel. He then wiped her mouth and nose.

“Come on, Elinor,” that was the name her mother had told them “give us a good cry,” he pleaded in a whisper as he rocked her softly.

A few seconds passed until he finally pricked her foot and the little girl wailed to the top of her lungs. The room faded for a second, as it always did, as he smiled to her and welcomed her to the world. He could never understand his father’s words about children being skirmish little things… yes, they were that, but they were so much more… A mystery to be uncovered, Belle’s voice ringed in his ears. Maybe this punishment wasn’t that much of a punishment: maybe, in an unexpected way, it was a blessing, the same way Regina’s curse had allowed some people to start again and forget about the terrible things in their pasts. Maybe allowing him and Rogers to help at so many births was life’s own way to try and make amends.

He snapped himself out of his daydream and passed the baby carefully onto Rogers arms, so he could clean and cover her up a bit as they waited for the paramedics to arrive —they usually arrived, oh so casually, right after the delivery was over, so much that he was starting to think that it was part of the curse too.

Rogers handled the baby with ease, and laid her on her mother’s bosom. She was glowing with joy, the wide smile of her lips dancing in her warm brown eyes.

“You… may breastfeed her now,” Rogers said shyly. “It would help with delivering the placenta.” And with a last squeeze of her shoulder he turned around to give her some privacy, his eyes misty.

As predicted, the paramedics arrived promptly and took mother and daughter to the hospital, and the detectives, after washing their hands, resumed their chore. Silence hung between them as they paid for the groceries and got into the car. Finally, Rogers asked:

“Have you… Have you ever considered having children?”

“Why is detective Rogers now suddenly interested in children?”

Rogers hesitated.

“When I took that girl in my arms I… I thought of Tilly. I… asked myself what did she look like as a baby. And… how could someone abandon her. It was a weird thing. I don’t know… It felt like a hole in my chest or something.

Rumplestiltskin smiled softly, a knowing, bittersweet smile.

“Belle always wanted a daughter. And that, I wasn’t capable of giving her.” He blinked fast.

“You can’t blame yourself for that.”

Rumplestiltskin didn’t answer. It struck Rogers like a ton of bricks. Tilly, Anastasia, that baby… those situations most certainly made him think of what could have been and wasn’t.

“So… you have a son?”

Rogers regretted the question as soon as he formulated it, but there was no way of taking it back. Rumplestiltskin swallowed slowly.

“Two sons. The eldest was Neal, and then Gideon.”

“You… you never mentioned them before.”

“Well, Gideon… he is a scholar, like his mother. He is abroad.”

“You must be missing him.”

“Yes, terribly so.”

Rogers noticed the eyes of his partner were shining.

“Neal… I lost him.”

The air had tensed up a bit.

“I’m sorry for your loss,” Rogers answered, for lack of better words.

“He died a hero, saving the people he loved.”

Another awkward silence descended upon them, and the ex pirate decided to ask the question that was burning him. It couldn’t get more awkward than this.

“How… How is it like?”

Rumple’s features softened. The poor man knew the answer as much as he did and yet, he didn’t know he knew.

“There’s no way to explain it, really. The moment someone puts your child in your arms for the first time and you realize you’ll do anything for them, literally anything… There’s nothing quite like that.”

They had reached now the street of Rogers’ house.

“Would you join us for dinner? Tilly wanted to try gumbo and Sabine offered to teach us.”

“I suppose I can spend an evening learning to prepare a new dish.”

“You didn’t strike me as the cooking type,” Rogers said with a lopsided smile.

“Don’t push me, detective,” Rumplestiltskin replied turning off the engine. “Or I’ll have you make my dinner for a week.”

Rogers chuckled and both men made their way to the apartment, praying that Tilly wouldn’t burn it down in her enthusiasm, at least just this once.

[readingjunky]

Two teens arrive on the George Washington Bridge in NYC. Both have reached a decision to end their time on this earth. Will he jump? Will she jump? Will both jump? What if neither jumps? THE BRIDGE follows the stories of Aaron and Tillie, but in an unusual way. Written in versions A, B, C, and D, readers get to read the story from all four perspectives.

Aaron sees the girl standing at the railing a short distance away. As he watches, she ascends the railing and jumps to the river below. Ripped from his own personal focus and issues, Aaron dials 911 and reports the possible suicide and he returns home. After confessing his observation to his father and his own thoughts of jumping, Aaron seeks the help of a psychiatrist to help with the feelings of depression that threaten his personal safety.  Aaron's issues are not his alone as proven from the evidence of those closest to him.

Tillie struggles with being adopted. Her Asian features are the focus of taunting from classmates, and the sudden estrangement from her father is causing stress that seems beyond Tillie's control. She doesn't want to leave her mother and her little sister who she dearly loves, but everything is just too much. As she stands on the bridge she observes something she couldn't possibly imagine when the boy standing on the same bridge makes the decision to jump. Her reaction is panic and fear that this was what she was about to do.

Both teens jump to their deaths. This version is brief, but its impact is long lasting and far reaching. If only they knew how much their decisions would change those near and dear to them.

Aaron and Tillie both decide today is not the day. They form a sometimes uncomfortable friendship at first full of secrets and skepticism. As they open up to each other and other key people in their lives, they find that support helps. It doesn't solve all their problems, but it makes things a bit easier.

Author Bill Konigsberg takes an unusual look at depression and suicide. His words are frank and his focus on the rocky road that follows a diagnosis of depression will speak to those who have had their own personal experiences with mental health issues. Konigsberg takes a likely upsetting and ultimately serious issue and makes it relatable for teens without glamorizing it. I highly recommend THE BRIDGE.
