hello!!!! i just got done reading the Percy jackson books and i loved them!! im so happy the show got me into them. i just wanted to draw something with the book description of annabeth <3

Edit!!! since this is getting more traction omg let me talk about what i was thinking. For the design in the back I was kinda tryna go for Athena to her left looking over her shoulder like. Always standing in her mothers shadow her mothers always watching and then I just took inspo the swirls from some Greek vases

edit 2: someone said this was ai on twitter bc the pattern on the shirt and oh boy 🤩 art so good I get my first ai accusation. no I just suck at drawing that dumbass Greek pattern 😭

Ravi and Buck canonically being “pretty boys” when the 118 is on a call makes so much sense

[bravetemptation]

The way each episode has two buddie facetimes in which buck is at work once and at home the other to show that they're part of each other's lives on and off field

Bonus:

[bravetemptation]

when christopher realises buck is looking for his own place he's fucking furious about it. he tries to hide it because he knows it's kind of irrational but there's something in him that clings to that anger as tightly as he can because. well. chris came home. at first. because buck needed him. because buck lost his father figure and nobody knew how to talk to him about it but christopher did. because christopher lost his mom and maybe it wasn't exactly the same but he knows how it feels to lose someone who means that much to you in that way. and he'd thought he was helping because buck was smiling but he was also allowing himself to grieve a little more and yeah. chris thought that this might not be something he can fix but he was helping and that was enough. and then suddenly buck is moving out and the anger is quick and fast and easy. and he doesn't have to think about it really because he's a teenager and teenagers are moody and grumpy and always angry at something so he doesn't have to think about how buck lost his father figure and now buck is leaving chris like that doesn't mean anything like he didn't promise to be there for christopher always. and he knows it's not like buck is disappearing from his life but anything can happen. anything can fucking happen. a fire could burn him alive, a killer virus could shut down his organs, a car could break him up inside. anything can fucking happen. and they know that now better than ever. and he thought. he thought maybe that would mean buck would want to be closer. spend more time with him. just in case. just to get as much time with chris as he possibly could because life is short and precious and so is this. whatever they have. that's precious too. but buck is moving out like he's being chased out. and he's sleeping on their couch but they barely see him for how many apartment viewings he has. and chris hates him a little bit. loves him too much.

My favorite part of this clip of Harry lying is Louis slamming the door in the background at the very end as he removed the dog 😂

picture this: 9x01 opening with buck and eddie at home. they are being sickeningly domestic. buck is cooking, eddie is leaning on the countertop next to him, sampling the food while buck tries to whack his hand away. they are laughing together, heart eyes galore. it's easy to see they are living in a home full of love. chris yells to ask if dinner is almost ready, and eddie yells back, one second! then he leans in to kiss buck like it is the most natural thing in the world when bam! eddie's eyes open, and he wakes up in a cold sweat. cue the 9-1-1 title card

Yes exactly! I'm not an expert on the writers either but that just shows how bad it really is when I, a total idiot, can tell what episode was written by someone different. Or see the name of a writer and know oh so we won't be getting any buddie in this episode. That's crazy, they should have a vision for their characters or at least continue their stories. They spent an entire season torturing them and then in the end there was no realization, no consequence, no agency, just all wrapped up in a bow. It makes no sense 😭 and the beginnings of those stories were so promising!

I think it's dire when even casual fans and journalists point out that they missed out on buddie moments and too much happened off screen. They really can't afford this after killing the lead of the show. They need to get their shit together for s9.

MHMMM . Like I even saw and heard that the GA hated the finale and found it SUPER lackluster . It sucks to say that the finale was absolute ass , it really does suck because I do love this show and it sucks to see that the writers just . Did whatever the fuck they wanted just because they wanted a paycheck ... there was no love in the finale . There was no love felt with how they handled and ended all the characters arcs ... the earlier seasons had so much charm and love and funniness and angst but season 8 just felt like a fucking whirlwind of nothingburger . Nothing was concluded , it left off on a four minute dragged out montage of them doing things that they quite literally just established that the characters were dealing with in earlier plots ( Buck moving into Eddie's place , Athena selling the house , Hen and Karen finally adopting Mara . Even Maddie's goddamn pregnancy was off screen ) All of those 1 minute scenes at the end of the WHOLE season was just straight up bullshit . I'll say it . It was BS . They didn't deserve to have their entire arcs of the season being left off on a 1 minute shot in a montage . Hen and Karen should've had so much more time talking about and showing ( more of ) their family dynamic with Mara and finally officially adopting her after all the systematic bullshit they went through . Buck should've talked with Eddie about how they should've dealt with the house situation . Athena should've been shown weighing the pros and cons of selling the house her and Bobby were building up again . They left the season off with MORE questions than answers . Is Buck fucking moving AGAIN ? Where is Athena gonna live ? Why was Eddie still trying to go back to Texas ? Who's gonna be captain ? Are May and Harry just gonna disappear again ? Is there another reason Hen doesn't want to be captain ? Is Bobby fucking alive or dead ? And guess what . All of this could've been avoided if the writers just FUCKING TALKED TO EACH OTHER . And told each other what they wanted to see and what they wanted to write for the characters . I have no idea what the hell was going on in the writing room but I have a vision that it looked exactly like this .

in 8x01 when buck gives eddie a double thumbs up before that guy with the bee-vacuum cleaner suctions the bees off of eddie, there's a split second where eddie gives buck the faintest half-smile and i adore it

eddie was hating every second of the bee-perfum-rescue thing but he did it because it was buck's idea and he let buck's reassurance coax a tiny little smile out of him

hear me out: eddie feelings realization in 818 and then he forgets how to act around buck for the entirety of 9a

because everyone kinda expects buck to be the first to realize how he feels about eddie right? well wrong, because eddie pretty much has an epiphany when buck is lying there under the rubble. oh and that's it - i'm in love with buck. buck is my joy. i'm not gonna let a bit of rubble take my joy from me.

so cue the roommates era with awkward eddie. because the last time eddie had a crush was when he was in high school ffs. and now he's sleeping in the same bed with his crush. and it's platonic, even though buck is bi. and it's killing eddie.

he can't sleep. because he just stares at the miracle that is buck. and one night buck wakes up and eddie is staring, blatantly staring. so eddie, the worst actor on planet earth, quickly rolls away from buck and starts to snore. very loudly, and very obnoxiously fake.

or in the morning, when buck is making breakfast with chris at the table, eddie forgets how to breathe. or speak. or move. so when buck goes 'hey eds can you make me a coffee?' eddie essentially starts shouting 'no, you make your own coffee, i can't make coffee, what's coffee?!'. and buck is just so confused? but he keeps trying to get eddie to, well, be eddie again. 'eddie, can you grab the spatula and give the eggs a stir?' and eddie tries but he fumbles with the spatula and drops it not once, not twice but three times. all with a teenager with more game in his pinky than eddie has in his entire body snickering at him.

but eddie keeps trying. flirting. people flirt when they have a crush right? okay, eddie will flirt. yeah, he can do that. he can tell buck he has pretty eyes. that's fine. so when it's just the two of them on their couch watching a movie, eddie turns to buck and goes 'buck... eyes. you have eyes.' and runs out of the living room before buck can even begin to process any of that.

and when buck is sitting at the table with chris, helping him with his homework, going on and on about why walruses have bumps underneath their flippers, eddie can't be around. he can't trust himself to handle whatever his heart is doing in his chest at the sight of his love and his son together. and he can't trust his son to not out him. so he keeps his distance. and he tries to sort his feelings and his thoughts so he doesn't go all weird again when buck inevitably re-appears in their bedroom. and really, he should've known it wouldn't work. buck returns with that bright smile on his face and eddie's traitorous knees fail him and he all but falls flat on his ass, stuttering his way through some excuse about how the ground was wobbling.

eddie almost gets caught once, by buck. okay, don't judge him. he promised himself he would embrace joy, right? and what's more joy than buck? so when he's alone at home, he pulls out that stupid cuddly pink cardigan from buck's closet. and he puts it on. and it's way too big on him but it feels like a hug from buck. like buck is engulfing him. and it almost makes eddie cry because he's so sure he'll never have that for real. only his little joyful-turned-tearful cardigan experience comes to an abrupt end when buck steps in the house. eddie manages to take the cardigan off, but now he's just holding it in his hands. buck just raises an eyebrow, letting whatever excuse eddie has come to him. eddie decides to go with 'i was... i was gonna do laundry... and thought you might want this washed too'... to which buck just goes 'so you pulled my clean cardigan out of my clean closet to... clean it?'. and look, eddie knows he's fucked. so he just agrees with a 'yup' and walks out on buck, with the cardigan in his hands.

and it's worse at work. because hen and chim know something. and under their watchful eyes, he's acting even weirder. so when buck is cooking in the firehouse in his apron and asks eddie to grab something for him because his hands are dirty, hen and chim almost get whiplash from turning to eddie to watch his reaction. and eddie panics okay? he panics because he had completely zoned out thinking about buck's strong arms and how they might feel around him. so when buck talks to him he just screams 'arms' and walks away. and then he realizes he fucked up, returns with his eyes looking anywhere but at buck, grabs whatever it is buck wanted from him, plops it on the counter and leaves again. and great, now hen and chim know for sure.

to his credit, buck isn't weirded out. he's endeared actually. beacuse eddie from seven years ago would've never allowed himself to be awkward and panicky. eddie from seven years ago would've done everything in his power to keep up a cool, calm and collected demeanor. and it would've been a shame because to buck, eddie has never been cuter. and buck's not dumb, he caught on pretty much 24h hours in. but eddie was just being too adorable for buck to do anything about it. eventually, buck decides to put eddie out of his misery and one night, on their couch, he gives eddie the most gentle and tender last first kiss either could've ever imagined. and he tells eddie about how he thinks he's the most adorable thing to ever happen to mankind. and eddie groans because 'you knew??' and buck just goes 'baby, you weren't subtle, you were cute but you weren't subtle. you bought me enough time to buy a ring though'.
