Your goal should be to get weirder with age and im not kidding. Become that odd estranged extended family member that owns a whacky home wherein a powerful magical item is kept that is the catalyst for the story of a children's adventure novel protagonist

Thinking about handwriting because my little 9-1-1 brain will not shut the hell up

Buck’s handwriting is messy. Like SUPER messy. Like elementary level handwriting, it’s so so bad, because of his whole relationship with school and his parents not being proactive while he was developing his fine motor skills that lead to good handwriting

(Maddie, on the other hand, has pretty notes level beautiful handwriting. She used to be a nurse, and went to nursing school. Her handwriting looked typed. Now, though, it’s a little messier but still absolutely beautiful and legible)

Chimney’s is pretty much chicken scratch, but it’s neat chicken scratch. Like he used to have guy handwriting (not Buck bad, but still very bad), but with doing the books and stuff for the karaoke bar with Kevin, he developed this fast little chicken scratch short hand that he’s kept

Hen has drs handwriting. It looks good from a distance, but up close?? What the hell is that girl saying (used to work in insurance and is now a paramedic, I feel like dr handwriting comes with the territory there) BUT when she was at school, her handwriting was, like, fine

Eddie writes in cursive. He writes in fast cursive, and I really have no other reason for this than just a feeling. Like that guy writes in fast, messy, pretty cursive. I think it’s cause of the ballroom dancing. Cursive and ballroom dancing make sense together. Plus, he had younger sisters (I’m not subscribing to the Eddie has an older sister propaganda from canon) and his fine motor skills are wonderful because he spent a ton of time with them making bracelets and coloring and braiding their hair

Bobbys is a weird hybrid cursive/not cursive type thing. All of his letters are connected, but in a pretty way that’s legible. You can read his handwriting perfectly

During/right after sex (with Buck), Eddie’s southern drawl comes out

[11yellowdaffodils]

you're on your knees, hands tied behind your back, bag over your head. "nothing personal, just can't leave any loose ends." i cock my nerf blaster and hit you on the back of your head with a foam dart. you fall over and sink into a ball pit. i stoically honk my clown nose and drive away in a comically small car

Eddie kissing all of Buck's scars from his reckless childhood + Buck kissing all of Eddie's scars from the military

i actually think maybe oliver stark is the victim of a witch’s curse. or a monkey’s paw wishing scenario. like imagine that you get cast on a tv show and it’s american network television and it essentially makes your career. which is awesome. but really you want nothing more than to make your character be bisexual. and you have a very specific vision for it to the point where you are playing it that way and doing it inside your own head. like literally gagging yourself trying to project yearning bisexuality laser beams at the camera. and then finally after years of this you eventually get to be bisexual on screen but it is not in the way you imagined at all. and then when you finally get to say “in love with eddie??????” you still don’t get to stick your tongue down his throat.

Thinking about…. Chris is like 16 and Buck and Eddie get married in a friends to married way and they asked if Chris was okay with it and he said yeah because maybe some big Event had just happened and he was caught up in the relief and love of the moment but now it's been a few months and he's having some weird feelings about it that he's not sure he's allowed to have because he already gave his approval. It's just…. He didn't even know his dad liked men. Which is fine! It's whatever! Eddie just never told him about it. And Chris doesn't know if it's just men or just Buck or if he likes girls still too or what that means for his mom or even like. Ana or Marisol. Or Kim. Like what is his dad's problem. Is he going to fuck up and drive Buck away too? But…. He looks so happy. Chris isn't sure he's ever in his life seen Eddie this relaxed and happy and that feels weird too because… was he not enough? And Chris loves Buck, of course he does, but like. As a dad? Buck is suddenly his dad now? And like everyone was clear he doesn't have to call him dad or anything but like that's what all this means, right?

And then like… they're doing a geology unit in school and they learn about tsunamis and of course the LA tsunami is used as an example and Chris says he was on the pier and the teacher says…. Well you must have been pretty little when that happened, I'm sure you're misremembering where you were and Chris is like no Buck threw me in a prize booth. It smelled like popcorn. There was a bright purple teddy bear. And the teacher looks like shocked and disturbed and as they learn more about what happened exactly and the death toll and Chris remembers Buck was on blood thinners back then he's like. How in the fuck did we survive that.

So he’s just… thinking about buck a lot and how he fits into his life and the demonstrable extreme lengths he’d go to for Chris and he’s feeling even more guilty that he’s not just purely happy that they’re a real family on paper now and he's carrying around this gratitude and fear about this event that he lived through but maybe didn't understand the specifics of until now and then he overhears Buck and Eddie having an argument (Buck: just- will you fucking listen to me? How many times do I have to tell you that? God- don't roll your eyes at me-) and is like catastrophizing that it's over and all these mixed feelings were for nothing, and then some of his cool new high school friends have those electric bikes and one of them asks him if Chris wants to ride behind them on the seat and Chris is like. Fuck it. Yeah. But it takes more strength/coordination than he thought even just to be a passenger and he ends up falling off and breaking his arm and at first he's begging his friends not to call 911 and they're like uh dude we're absolutely calling 911 and Chris is like fine just- just don't say my name! And when they get to the hospital he asks them to call Buck and not Eddie (as soon as they got married they got everybody on everyone else's paperwork as much as they could) and the doctor dismisses that request initially but one of his friends who stuck around is like uh hey that's not cool if he's on the paperwork it should be fine right you should listen to him! And the doctor is like well fine I guess and Chris is grateful to the friend but also fucking angry and just. Embarrassed that he didn't get listened to and it's maybe because he's a teenager but probably because they saw a kid who speaks and moves differently and figured he couldn't make any choices for himself. So he's sitting there stewing and his arm fucking hurts and Dad is going to be so so mad at him and it's nice that his friend stuck around but he doesn't even know her that well and she's obviously getting kind of bored and this is the worst day ever and then Buck appears. Hisses air through his teeth. Oh bud, looks like you've had a rough one, huh.

And Chris nods and tries not to immediately start crying and Buck tells the friend he's got it from here and sits with him and asks what happened and like…. Chris has a moment of realizing that Buck knows he was the one who got called because Chris thinks of him as the… not-really dad. And Buck sees Chris having this realization and is like oh kid it's okay, Eddie is your dad first and is always going to be, it's okay that it's different with me, I'm just so glad to be a part of your family in any way I am. And anyway I'm the cool one he's gonna have a fit when he hears about this. And Chris laughs a little and then starts crying harder and Buck's like aw.. Chris, he's just going to be mad because he's worried… he loves you so much….

And they also kind of get into…. Buck got himself hurt a lot as a kid and some of it was intentional self harm but some of it really was just because he was a dumb kid having fun! He thinks that's important! Chris should also get to be a dumb kid who has fun! But says like…. “Any time you're going to do something that could maybe get you hurt I just want you to remember that I love you, and Eddie loves you, no matter what.”

And maybe they talk about the tsunami a little and Chris’ feelings in general about Buck and the marriage and Chris cries again (ugh) because he's realizing… he really does love Buck so so so much, he really is also his dad, a lot of the weird feelings were partly just fear that this was temporary or didn't mean as much to anyone else as it means to Chris, but of course this is forever of course Buck LOVES his kid!! Chris is his kid he loves him SO much!!!!

Enough to soft launch the injury over the phone while Chris gets the cast out on (hellooooo my beloved, my dearest one, love of my life, okay don't freak out there's just one broken bone and it isn't even broken that badly!) and to be a buffer as Eddie comes rocketing in half an hour later, and they all eventually head home together and Buck and Eddie have resolved whatever fight they had and they're both fussing over Chris and Chris and Eddie talk about Buck, and happiness (oh, mijo.. you can’t- happiness can’t come all from one person. You’ve never made me sad, it wasn’t your fault if I wasn’t- I just needed a partner, an adult, someone to, you know, romantically love and be loved by that i wasn’t forcing myself to choose because it felt like the right choice) and Eddie's sexuality and stuff and… I dunno, yeah, I just think Chris has a lot of big big feelings!! He's a teen! He’s got a whole life he’s living with his own thoughts and feelings and problems! He's been through so much!!!! This family all loves each other so much but they're all often kind of bad at explaining that to each other!! They'll get there eventually though!!

i’ve sent this ask to someone before but i’m just that devoted to the concept,,, eddie thinks chris is trying to come out to him because chris insists they watch gay movies and listen to gay music. so one day chris sits him down and eddie tells him “it’s okay, you can tell me everything and i’ll love you no matter what.” and chris is like. “uh. actually. um.”

isn’t there a scene in malcolm in the middle where both malcolm and reese are trying to assure the other one it’s okay theyre gay

[11yellowdaffodils]

it should be socially acceptable to announce when you've placidly scrolled past a mildly annoying but ultimately harmless difference of opinion so that everyone can tell you how mature and gracious you're being and that you're definitely the right one but it's nice that you're letting other people be wrong

Fell victim to that anonymous author who's posting Chris/Buck/Eddie content. And look, I'm not here to be the morality police. Read what you want, write what you want, none of it's real and none of it matters, but guys. GUYS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAG IT. JESUS CHRIST TAG WHAT YOU WRITE ACCORDINGLY. And ik they're probably just a troll, but this goes for everyone. Please, god, tag what you write accordingly. And again, I don't care what you write. I really don't, I have so many things filtered out so I don't read anything I don't want to see. But I can't filter it out if it's not TAGGED

I know it's still summer up here in the northern hemisphere (however late in the summer it may be), but I cannot stop thinking about buck and eddie in the wintertime.

Like maybe there's a blizzard in LA (which is the main emergency of a few episodes) and Eddie literally hates this. He hates the cold so much. Oh god why is he freezing??

But Buck's from Pennsylvania! And he knew there was a tiny chance he'd need it and on the air of being cautious, he bought a winter coat a few years ago, and it's just been sitting in the back of his closet. He doesn't even know why he has the thing, he never used to wear one. (It's one of the many things his parents would yell at him for)

But he tried it on and it just doesn't fit anymore. He's bigger than he was a few years ago, he has way more muscle mass and isn't worried about his body fat percentage.

Oh and?? Eddie's car?? No four wheel drive. And he's never had to drive in the snow before. He is completely out of his element here.

But again!! Buck's from Pennsylvania!! That guy has driven through many a blizzard and icy road before. He's even spun out once or twice and got out of it. He's a cold weather driving champion.

So when he's on his way to work (from his new place that coincidentally passes Eddie's neighborhood) he sees a car on the side of the road. Now he's passed a lot of cars on the side of the road on his drive; the roads are unsalted and most of these people have never driven in the snow before, but- Is that- Yup. That's Eddie's car. And Buck has his coat thrown in the back seat to throw it in the donation bin at work, but yk, just looking at it now, Eddie could probably fit in it.

So he pulls over behind Eddie and gets out of his Jeep, all bundled up in his layers of shirts and a hoodie and his thin puffer jacket, his old coat in hand, and he knocks on the window.

Eddie's on the phone, presumably calling Bobby to tell him that he's gonna be late, when he looks up and sees buck. "Need a ride?" Buck calls with a cheeky little grin through the window, and Eddie, who's incredibly embarrassed rn and he's also cold and hates this so so much, just scowels back at him. "C'mon Eddie, I'll take you to work, I have a jeep," he says, and hes trying not to laugh because his best friend is just so cute when he's annoyed

Eddie finally gets out of the car, mumbling something about how he hates snow and how he's so ready for this to be over and how he's freezing, and Buck just shoves his old jacket at him and is like "put this on" Eddie sighs but he's cold and he'll obviously take it, and it fits him almost perfectly! The sleeves are a tiny bit long, but it zips and buttons with no problems. And, yk, Buck kinda likes it when Eddie wears his clothes. He likes how they're always just a little big on Eddie. In a completely normal, platonic, best friend way. Of course.

Anyways, they get to the station in Buck's jeep, and they see everyone else was able to show up in one piece. And then for the rest of the snow arc, Buck picks up Eddie on his way to work. And then it just becomes habit. Because they've been doing it for a couple weeks now, and it's saving gas. Why wouldn't they?
