#we deserved more than that

[i-have-a-type]

How I would have loved for things to go for 6x18 :

- That the first emergency on the freeway involved Kameron and Connor instead of the girl and his mom's bestfriend. That the person trapped in the ambulance with Chimney and Hen was Kameron (Connor being in the helicopter or safe in the portion of the freeway that didn't collapsed).

- That the truck that did the collapse was a bus full of children going to a basket-ball game with the boy who was in the earthquake in season 2 as one of their coach.

- That Bobby ended falling on top or near the bus and not slidding down. That the earthquake kid was the one to help Bobby who is injured. Following Bobby's instructions to help everyone because it's chaos and they're trapped under the bridge. While waiting for rescue they talk about the fact that Bobby saved earthquake kid when he was younger so now it's his turn to help him.

- That the slidding down was Eddie, falling all the way and getting trapped inside the container or a car.

- That Buck knows Eddie is alive but don't know where he is, has no idea where is Bobby. He goes to help Hen, then check on Kameron and Chim. Chim is still impaled so Buck gets Kameron out first. We have a moment between Hen and Chim, where Hen try to help Chim but she can't because she's concussed and Buck tells her to go, that he will go get Chim.

- In the mean time, Athena is on scene and helping people. Searching for survivors. She finds Eddie trapped and goes towards him, trying to reach for him.

- While Hen is safe, the vehicles under the ambulance start to fold and fall, Chim end up dangling down and Buck go help him.

- Eddie ends up even more trapped than before while Athena had to step back to not end trapped to.

- Bobby, the earthquake kid and all the kids are still trapped too, grasping for air after this second mini-collapse.

- Once Buck got Chim to the paramedics, Hen beside him, Athena join them to tell them that Eddie is now further out of reach. He's still on the radio, but still no signs of Bobby and the bus.

- Hen starts to puke and can't stand so she tells Buck to be the interim Captain. He turns around and find Ravi and some firefighters waiting for his instructions. He dispatch them while Maddie is sending more help.

- Athena stays with Hen, helping with the injured and coordinating with Maddie.

- At some point, they find where is the bus and Bobby, Buck being able to talk with him. While they dig to get them all out, it's provoking some damages to where is Eddie. If he continues with the digging he will save Bobby and the kids, but might kill Eddie in the process. He needs to find a way.

- Eddie tells him to help the kids, of course. Eddie tells him to take good care of Christopher. Buck tells him that he will not abandon him, nor Bobby and the kids.

- Now able to talk with everyone, on radio for Athena, Eddie, Chim (not willing to leave the scene), Hen, Maddie and on person with Bobby and Ravi, Buck find a way to help everyone.

- First, he's on scene with Bobby when he finally get to him. Athena arrives and both of them tell Buck to go help Eddie, that they're fine now.

- Eddie's radio is not working anymore, he's starting to loose hope. It takes a little more time, but Buck finally finds him.

- 1. for Buddie truthers, that's where they understand their feelings for each other, or at least one of them if we want some angst, with tears and Buck saying that he'll never abandon Eddie, ever.

2. for the non-buddie truthers, they have a beautiful emotional moment where we see their friendship/partnership at their best.

- Chim and Hen refusing to leave the scene without all the 118, they end up all together, bruised, injured and alive on the scene, looking at each other, relieved.

Of course they all end up at the hospital. Buck going to see Kameron who gave birth, meeting the baby. And then going from rooms to rooms, having a lot of emotional moments between him and all the 118. Then some couples/families moments at the hospital or their home. Buck ending up on the couch with Eddie and Christopher (buddie or not).

TADA !

It's a first try, might need some changes or more details but it's the first version that came into my mind.

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

wheelchair users deserve a minimum of three wheelchairs to meet different needs. like, bare minimum of indoor chair, outdoor chair, and off road chair. chairs that meet different needs for transport, activity, positioning needs, energy levels, etc.

there is not "one chair" that can meet every need. wheelchair users deserve to have multiple chairs that meet specific needs, no matter how complex their seating/positioning needs. we deserve to at least have a backup if our chair breaks that is just as suited to our needs.

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

the issue with shipping aro/ace characters isn't putting them into relationships, it's the fact that no one adds how their sexuality impacts the relationship at large. And how it'll always be different from your average romantic relationship in some way.

I think depictions of Anya being cruel to Curly or drawing out his suffering are artful and chilling but completely miss the point of the story and her character.

I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to have that "I told you so" moment with him but not in something callous or cold. Even if that is how it happened, she'd immediately feel guilty cause at that point she's not tormenting her tormenter or even the person truly at fault. She's doing something cathartic, similar to how Jimmy likely hits Curly to release rage he can't against the rest of the crew. She'd see herself as no different when she'd come back from the moment and see Curly cowering at her. She wants someone to take responsibility but how does being cruel to the defenseless help? Why would she want the power Jimmy has over her over Curly?

The idea of her extending someone else's pain is just so against the struggles she already faces and how she can't even bring herself to cause someone pain even to help them. Her very desire is to release herself from her own suffering and I doubt she'd even fine some sort of guilty release in being cruel to another.

ngl, i think the most facinating part of Billford, not as a ship (because there’s a general understanding that it was really toxic and they were terrible for each other) (i get that that part of why it’s so fun to explore for so many- not the point), but just in general, is that Bill was ABSOLUTELY as obsessed with Ford as Ford was with Bill. it’s just… so interesting to recontextualize their dynamic as mutually destructive and obsessive instead of Bill just manipulating Ford. Like, yes there was definitely manipulation, but the dynamic jsut has so many more layers when the obsession is mutual.

They’re both egotistical and believe that they deserve more than what the world gave them, and they are terrible for each other and it’s kinda funny and all sorts of facinating to study

It is actually insane that Sam and John have this long heartfelt bonding conversation in 1.20 Dead Man's Blood about how John was just scared Sam would get hurt if he was out of John's eye line and that's why he was so mad he went to Stanford—he just wanted Sam to be safe. Then Dean comes into the motel room and John immediately enacts a plan to use Dean as vampire bait.

what was the point of lila thinking home was a feeling she didn't deserve and could never earn until she found diego. what was the point of them finding deep, meaningful love in each other. what was the point of lila opening her heart and confessing that all she really wanted was a family with him.

what was the point of developing diego and lila over two seasons, creating such a beautiful, chaotic bond, just to destroy it for no reason.

oh ok so its the usual no-homo bullshit you always hear, good to know.

I actually think Dorian and Orym should fight more.

Remember when their slowly building tension over and entire episode (full of passive aggressive remarks and blame throwing) led to threats? And how after, Orym thanked Dorian for handing over the crown sadly because he knew Dorian would be mad at him? And Dorian couldn't even look at him because he was legitimately hurt, thinking Orym was disappointed in him for doing what he thought was right? That was peak.

The fact they went from that to their current closeness and trust is the best part of their entire dynamic. Their relationship was hard fought and still will be. They will fight for it because they respect and care for one another deeply, and their disagreements don't change that, only improve it.
