hello my mootie patooties ^_^ this friday, may 30th, is my birthday and as some of you may remember every year i ask anyone who wants to to put a party hat on their icon that day :) this year i have edited a party hat to look like the ones buck and eddie are wearing in the above gif because the brainrot has me that far gone. i'm putting a couple pngs below, i'd love if you celebrate my birthday with me <3!!

once again feeling #blessed that the british man does absolutely nothing for me

it's just. they've been together in this cage for years now. they tried and failed to make a home out of it, but they never left even when things fell apart. no matter how much actual physical distance there was between them, they were both still trapped together. and she's always been flirting with the exit in some way, but now she finally puts it into words and that shakes him to the core because he still sees the bars as something that's keeping something out rather than them in. still, there's hope here for a moment, because maybe if she leaves she can coax him out as well, tell him of the world outside and beckon him to follow her, but as if the world blinked, hope is gone again. because she dies before she can fully cross the threshold. and now, her corpse is blocking the way out. and if he ever wanted to escape, he'd have to do the two things he could never bring himself to do: actually get close to her, and then leave her behind.

shannon asks eddie whether they could maybe kind of cut the shitty little plastic band they tied around their wrists when they were kids because she'd sorta like to be able to walk more than five feet away from him and also it'd maybe be nice to have proper circulation in her hand again and eddie just goes "conterpoint: how about we both hang ourselves with it"

“And so maybe you’re — you’re kind of like a penguin, you know? And I always liked penguins — they’re great, right? Who doesn’t like penguins? — but that was never me. I was something else. Like a cheetah, maybe. Do you — do you get what I’m saying?” And Buck… Buck absolutely does not get when Eddie’s saying. But now Eddie’s looking at him with these imploring eyes — golden brown and gleaming — and Buck doesn’t want to do anything to disrupt this groove he’s in, not when he’s talking about what he wants, about things that make him happy. So, “Yeah,” he says, and when Eddie smiles again, all relief, he knows it’s the right call. Or: Eddie comes out to Buck; Buck thinks he wants to go to the zoo.

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

[martyreddie]

favorite thing about buck is when he tries desperately to find socially acceptable ways to self-harm

[martyreddie]

(deep in my coal mine) huh. maybe canaries just do that.

Don’t Drink the Water

buddie | T | 2.2k | first kiss, idiot4idiot, drunk eddie, jealous buck, the water/juice metaphor actually being used, alternating povs, tooth-rotting fluff, mutual pining, they’re both so silly here, so in love it makes them look stupid <3, some mild angst because they’re stupid

"There's steam coming out of your ears," Hen says drily, taking a sip out of her very vibrant cocktail, and Buck blinks, eyes dry like he hasn't blinked in a very long time.

"What?" he asks, trying to turn to look at her, but just as he's about to, Eddie throws his head back laughing and Buck feels himself sitting up straighter, ears perked up even though it's impossible for him to hear what they're talking about from all the way across the club. He should probably go check on Eddie. It's been so long and he really does need that drink.

"I'm gonna go see what's taking Eddie so long," he says, still not taking his eyes off them.

"I think we can see just fine from over here."

"I'm just gonna check on him."

"He looks perfectly fine."

"You don't know that, we can't see his face."

"We can, you've just been staring at his ass all night."

Buck's eye twitches, but he ignores her. "Yeah, let me go see what's going on."

(Or, Eddie chooses juice. Buck chooses him right back.)

8b buddie is so funny because it's buck learning the lesson of being alone and trying to be an independent human being who can survive without clinging to others and eddie being like 'wait. no.'

[martyreddie]

buck and eddie's unwillingness bordering on refusal to break up with significant others that they truly should not be with vs. buck and eddie's fondness and even passion for quitting the job they love

if the 118 is going into season 9 without a captain anyway i think they should let every character be captain for one episode. it could be so great. the return of nightmare captain han. ravi spending the entire episode terrified because he feels in no way qualified only to end up having a clipboard buck-esque ego trip at the very end. buck tries his best but every time he doesn't get to run headfirst into a fire he stands there looking like a dog left out in the rain like :( i cant believe all my friends are in mortal danger rn and I DONT GET TO JOIN :(((( eddie's actually kind of good at it but buck keeps getting so flustered by eddie ordering him around for Reasons He Cant Explain that he kind of forgets to do his job and then he gets so upset about not supporting eddie or whatever they have to call it quits. at the end hen is like well. i know i turned it down initially but i dont think theres anyone the department could possibly bring in with enough experience both as a firefighter and cultivator of our beautiful perfect codependent family dynamic so i will do the noble thing and step up (the entire thing was a scheme to make her realise this). btw bobby's alive for all of this he actually escaped the government lab in episode 1 but he's too busy sipping shirley temples on the beach with athena to get involved in any of it

get to know your moots! I was tagged by the wonderful @b0ybutch <3

favourite colour: red, I think? specifically a kind of dark & rich red. idk I feel like I'm kind of in between favourite colours rn lmao so I'm not entirely settled on it being red, but I do think I tend to pick it when offered a variety of colours, if that makes sense?

currently reading: I picked up gideon the ninth from the library two weeks ago, but I've only had time to read like 2 pages lmao

last song: the labyrinth song by asaf avidan. it's in my eddie playlist and i've been thinking about a vague, house of leaves inspired plotbunny again.

most recent series: tschugger! third season specifically because it just got to netflix :)

most recent film: john wick 4. that's three hours of my life that I'll never get back.

sweet/salty/savory: I do love sweet things, but I think if I had to pick I'd choose savory more often? but tbh that changes every time I think about it so. eh. (wait, does sweet include fruit? because if so, sweet all the way)

tea or coffee: I only really started drinking coffee regularly last autumn but I've been drinking A Lot of it since then... however I like to believe I'm still a tea person at heart. time will tell I guess, I'm rlly stressed rn and that favours coffee consumption for me lmao

working on: a lot of personal art stuff rn, I'm super mega busy until this Sunday, and then I can get back to focussing on the buddie queering the map fic :)

no pressure tags: okay gotta be real I have zero clue who's done this already and who hasn't so these tags are kind of a shot in the dark 😭 💜 @heartbreakfeelsogood @divorce-enjoyer @icebergeddie @etherealplans @guzmanstark and anyone else who feels like it!! tag me if you do it :))
