just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!
I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️
a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @
so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.
PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.
AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

I've been to one movie in theaters since 2020 and it was Barbie because fuck every studio executive that thinks "girl movies don't sell". Why haven't I been to more movies, you ask?
Movies are fucking expensive now! I used to be able to get $7 matinee tickets on a Sat or Sunday in like 2018-2019 at an AMC and I'd go to the movies A LOT. Now? $14.50 is the cheapest AND that's before the sales tax and convenience fee. Like Buddy, this is actually LESS convenient for me and now a Sat morning matinee ticket costs $18? And my local theater is actually kinda groudy? Hell no.
And before you ask, it's a used-to-be-Arclight now an AMC at the mall. I have never seen so many stains on seats or wondered what I'm stepping in at a theater before.

Hot take: I miss the days when 9-1-1 had voiceovers for every episode. I feel like it forced the writers to really adhere to a theme ✨ which ended up making some damn good/poignant television.

i've sat on it for a few days and I think what bothers me most about Buck's and Eddie's confrontation is that Eddie never says sorry. And yes, I know bringing Pepa and Chris is meant as a silent apology but at the end of the day? Those don't mean shit. If therapy has taught me anything is that saying the words is extremely important to hear, even if you understand the non-verbal gesture. Case in point, my family is not verbose is our feeling words, and I know my parents are proud of me, but my mother said it to my face recently and I had to talk to my therapist about it because it I did not know what to do with that. And that's a positive feeling, forget about the negative ones.
Also, Eddie implies Buck is shit at his job and then ASSUMES Buck understands his note without communicating shit and then diminishes his hurt with a flippant remark. And that's all water under the bridge because Eddie brought Pepa and Chris over for dinner (that he didn't even cook!)? Like I'd be mad as hell still. Yes, I know Eddie is grieving and yes, people can say shit things in grief, but the 118 is supposed to be family. That means Eddie, as an goddamn adult, should have said "I KNOW you did everything you could to save Bobby I'm just wondering if somehow I would of tipped the scales in our favor more by being there" as the bare min. Yes even after that horrible 'you make everything about you' line. And then wrote, 'went to the airport, be back later' AS A BARE MIN.
I have not been in an abusive relationship so I can't speak to that element as other people are, but I have been stuck in toxic af communication patterns and Eddie's behavior threw up alllll the red flags in this recent episode. And I'm supposed to believe this man went to therapy? Multiple times? $10 says his therapists fired him every time cuz he didn't put in the work ever and then said therapy wasn't working. Jesus.

Finally watched the funeral episode after seeing how angry people were about it on this hellsite and how pointless they found Athena’s case and respectfully, fully disagree.
This episode was beautiful, as a (lapsed) catholic that church was everything you’d wish for in a funeral service AND the depiction of the crucifixion where one of the 2 thief’s crucified with Jesus asked for forgiveness and was given it? Chefs Kiss. Cried during the whole ending.
As for the B storyline? To me, that was solely about Athena and how she’s handling her grief. It was meant to show her what happens when grief is so raw, so real, so powerful and you drown in it and deny it at the same time rather than accepting it and learning to live with that scar.
This episode was about Bathena, only what it means when they’ve been ripped apart.

been thinking a lot about fandom recently because a creator I respect jumped into a ship that has a history of being...disrespectful to the competing ship and the creator has sort of/half-sies followed suit (i've been dealing with disappointment).
what i've come up with is; fandom is supposed to be something that is joyful, that brings you joy, that is a refuge from when your outside world goes to shit. Now it doesn't have to be rainbows and puppies all the time, disagreements do happen, but there is a way to disagree with some goddamn manners.
it's sort of bonkers to me that people can hate a character/ship enough to give them a nickname to avoid saying their name but can't stop talking about them? If I don't like something that badly in fandom (which is stupidly rare bc its fiction) I just don't talk about it beyond a politely worded 'no thanks not for me'. Example: The Galadriel/Halbrand(Sauron) ship in ROP. I filtered every tag for that ship because it's a giant hell no for me, but I've maybe talked about it enough times to count on one hand, including this one. Buddie is another example, I'm super ambivalent about it. I just don't see it and I've watched alllllll of 9-1-1 multiple times, once even trying to see the Buddie if it all. And still got nadda, big fat goose egg, nothing and barely even talk about it.
so I guess the point of this is, if you're feeling disappointed in the fandom space lately or like the joy's been sucked out of it, a) you are not alone and b) these feelings are VALID and to quote Eleanor Roosevelt (and Princess Diaries) "nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent". Meaning I like what I like and you don't gotta like it but you also don't got to listen to it and I don't gotta listen to you so you do you and I'll do me booboo.

they didn't give him last rights
I can't stop thinking about it. A man whose faith is extremely important to him and they didn't even give him last rites.
And yeah Bobby didn't say anything until the last moment, but he had time to say goodbye to Athena and Buck AND KNEEL IN PRAYER. The Army and FBI were right there. You telling me they have Chaplin's/Priests in battlefield units but the Goddamn Army and FBI couldn't get a man who self-sacrificed to contain Hemorrhagic Fever in a move THEY SAID WOULD MAKE THE 118 HERO's a priest like *snaps* so he could preform last rights?! After they had a helicopter chase?!
I'm not even a practicing catholic. Although according to Bobby a lapsed catholic is still a catholic so I guess my ire makes sense.

In the wake of Val Kilmer's death I've been looking for his movies on streaming services to watch (just saw Heat which I have thoughts about okay so many thoughts) which of course meant I mentioned Top Gun to my dad and how....80's it was. And like yes, I realize it was made in the 80's but the choices were CHOICES okay?
Like every single guy in that movie was just constantly sweating? Standing still, sitting in a chair, etc sweat just beading up all over the place. PLAYING VOLLEYBALL IN JEANS ON THE BEACH. SUNGLASSES IN A BAR AT NIGHT.
I digress. Yesterday my dad tells me he rewatched Top Gun because I mentioned Val Kilmer and he just goes 'It aged so badly' and I'm like RIGHT?! and then we both just go 'the relationship!'.
At this point I feel the need to tell the younglings on this hellsite that it's not that the acting was bad, but like you've been spoiled for choice by the level of movies nowadays (don't get me wrong there are some great old movies). The quality and expectations of movies have evolved so greatly that a lot of old movies just seem....bad?...even though Val Kilmer was an objectively good actor.
I don't think there is even a point to this post? IDK if Kilmer had been born like 30 years later I think he would been as big as Tom Cruise because he woulda had more choice in types of movies for his acting skills to devour. Hot Take.

Okay, so I finished the episode and I've seen various posts in regards to the buddie/bucktommy of it all but I think all of them seem to forget that the argument Buck has with Tommy is about BUCK.
Out of everyone in the whole fucking show, Maddie is the only person to really ask Buck what HE is feeling and BELIEVES HIM WHEN HE SAYS IT every. single. time.
I love Tommy and full honesty I don't see the whole Buddie of it all and never have even before Tommy but, even Tommy hasn't listened to what Buck is telling him about how he feels. He didn't listen when he broke up with Evan the first time and he wasn't listening when Evan told him this time. When people don't listen to you you tend to get mean and if you think you haven't done that than you're lying to yourself.
This episode for Buck was about him learning to find his own two feet again without defining himself by his relationships, something he's done since Abby. He was so defined by being Buck&Eddie that even Bobby forgot and kept calling Ravi the wrong name. It's fucking HARD when your best friend moves away and you've been in each others pockets for years and now its only you in your pocket alone and yeah, you can call, text, email, follow on socials but its not the same. There is extra room you're not used to.
And you don't have to be in love with your friend for that to happen.

My parents have the ORIGINAL box set release of the Star Wars films on VHS.
We tried to get them transferred to DVD a few years ago for our own personal use because you can't find those versions anywhere and the guy said he felt uncomfortable with doing it.
I would pay an exorbitant amount of money of those on DVD. Like I know George Lucas can do want he wants but I would easily pay $300 for the og episodes 4-6 without even blinking. And I don't even like Stars Wars that much.
Leaving money on the table if you ask me. Not very good business on Disney's part either.
Y'all. Brian found the original Star wars a new hope on some random Roku app today. Like the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL, greedo doesn't shoot AT ALL
He doesn't remember the name of it, so when I get home I'll find it and let you guys know more

was listening to Doechii and remembering the time I was with my 67 year old dad in the grocery checkout line who just randomly goes "You know I really like Cardi B"
and the woman in front of us and I both share this confused blue screen look
"you know Cardi B dad?"
"yeah, I heard this song she did with Bruno mars"
*glances at woman in front of us*
"oh yeah....dad...have you heard...WAP?"
"no what is that?"
at this point the woman in front of us and I just deflate and start chuckling. She goes "that is exactly what I was wondering but also i was impressed"
I then promise my dad I'd play him the song later, which I did. He has not mentioned Cardi B again, but that man is also the king of just dropping random shit so not surprised if he jams to Cardi B on his earbuds while making dinner.
And now I'm wondering my old man knows who Doechii is.

I've never seen the book side of Tumblr BUT Tumblr is a supporting actor in this book and I couldn't not post it to Tumblr. The meta of it was just too *waves hands*
Also I got this from an INTER-LIBRARY LOAN, like what am I an adult?! (I am, in fact, an adult)
Also I learned a lot more about One Direction than I ever wanted to know. (It's a unifying thread through the book, but don't let that stop you if you're not a 1D fan, the takeaways are really interesting AND LOTR, Supernatural, KPOP, Livejournal, Fanfiction.net and A03 do get honorable mentions.)
