This right here is why I just play pretend in fic land now. He called her. We didn’t see it, but he called her.

You know, actually he invited her to the memorial ceremony, and she declined saying it should be “just family.” And when El said “you are family,” she said “well, immediate family then. You need this time together. I’ll come back to your apartment after, sound good?”

Because I’m done playing with this. They’re in love whether they admit it or not, whether we ever even SEE it or not. They’re back in each other‘s lives and screw canon because yeah, okay yes there are scheduling and budget constrictions but you know what there isn’t? An excuse for the writers not backending Liv or El into situations where they belong in dialogue. That’s possible and easy.

🚨SPOILERS ORGANIZED CRIME

So i just watched the OC season finale and i’m sorry but that all must not have been cannon bc there is no universe in which Elliot Stabler does not call Olivia Benson when his fucking brother is murdered okay

I know “scheduling is hard” whatever bro they could’ve got him to just call her and have her voice on the other side of the phone IN THE VERY FUCKING LEAST

Now I’m a reasonable person, i like to think I’m also logical, so i can understand him not calling her right away bc he went straight into revenge mode and obvs he can’t involve the captain. Fine. But what about calling her after the memorial scene? What about ending the ep with him even just dialling her number? Why do these assholes hate us so much that they can only give us a gentle whiff of Bensler every two years??? 😭😭😭😭😭

You know detective baby boy is very comfortable leaning on captain mama bear and after Dante’s Inferno i would think even more so🫠

Anyways i loved this season and I truly believe it was the best OC has had but there were parts that annoyed the shit out of me and this was the biggest.

Liv’s face at the end is like “Elliot, why do you have to be rude to the already overworked woman?”

@yhamh Okay there was a lot of this I didn’t know that I’m gonna use for this stupidly hot heat advisory week. (The humidity thing though, I did. Humidity is evil.)

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.

me, every day: i just dont have the energy for this today

[classictvjunkie]

Well. That has Elliot Stabler written all over it.

nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them

[classictvjunkie]

See El, if you weren’t hallucinating your dead wife, that could have been an offer.

[classictvjunkie]

My mom made this same comment. To imperfectly quote her, she said: “All of Olivia’s storylines where she talks about her father felt so real. And not that Mariska isn’t a good actress, but the scenes felt more realistic than even a good actress playing a role.”

I can’t wait for 6/27.

One thing I love about Elliot is, he really is macho as hell, total boy’s boy, rough and tumble and all that. And by the same token, he loves that his girl is so successful. He loves that for her.

Like look at the pride on his face when he says it, how seriously he respects that title for her.

It’s beautiful.

The evolution of Elliot Stabler calling Olivia ‘Captain.’

[classictvjunkie]

"Well, how do I look?"

"In my most humble opinion, I think you look quite lovely."

"What about the least humble?"

"What?"

"If that's your most humble opinion, then what is your least humble one?"

"Hmm. In my least humble opinion, I believe that anyone who sees you in that dress and cannot be you or have you should want to kill themselves."

"Nice."

[classictvjunkie]

She says “we’re” as if they’re going together.

[classictvjunkie]

This is the hair I strive to have and then wonder why it doesn’t look as nice on me.

It’s because I don’t have the face to go with it (and because I have to style it myself 💀)

[classictvjunkie]

This could be them in 3.0 coming home from a day at work but DW hates us.

[classictvjunkie]

[classictvjunkie]

What’s extra beautiful about this years later is Elliot and his Mama have reconnected, he’s repaired relationships with his brothers, and he’s not completely hiding from his childhood anymore.

The growth that OC has allowed for these characters has been beautiful.

See, I… I made certain choices, and I lost my son.

One thing I’ve noticed about AI users is that they are completely repulsed by the notion of feeling bad or frustrated for even the slightest moment

Every unhinged fic writer needs an equally unhinged friend who "yes ands" their ideas and encourages them to write all their most far fetched and insane stories.
