i don’t think there’s anything funnier than saying “god forbid women do anything” in response to women doing the most objectively horrifying actions possible.

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.

draft snippets of a fic i’m writing where eddie talks to buck after he finds out about daniel and ends up confessing to him

[mortalsbowbeforeme]

Tease Tidbit Tuesday

Tagged by @bekkachaos thank you 😘

Wow I actually have something to share!!???? I’ve actually started a lot of fics recently but not gotten far in many of them but I keep coming back to this idea:

Golden Retriever Werewolf Buck aka the best laid plans which is turning into an absolute crack fic in which Buck reveals to Eddie that he’s a werewolf, Eddie takes it surprisingly well and starts doing things that Buck’s wolf mistakes as courting and he unintentionally starts courting Eddie back:

All things considered, Eddie takes it really well that Buck’s a werewolf. He looks at Buck like he’s lost his mind for a few minutes, however, after Buck strips off his shirt and reaches for his belt buckle he seems to come around and insist Buck does not need to strip and show him like fucking Jacob in twilight.

And yes, Eddie has seen the movies, once with his sisters when they were teenagers apparently and recently with Buck, which had been part 3 of 14 of Buck’s ‘Revealing that werewolves exist and your best friend is one of them’ plan. Stripping off to show him had been part 14b, and Buck truly believes his detailed plan is to thank for how easily Eddie accepts it, accepts him - and Chim had thought the whole thing was ridiculous! See Chim, the best laid plans always go right.

Buck might have also made a joke about how Eddie is already Charlie Swan .2 with that moustache which might have ended up with his face being squished into Eddie armpit while he messes up Buck’s hair with a noogie. Buck was definitely not mad at that at all.

A few weeks later Buck had the thought that his plan might have gone too right. He wasn’t complaining about Eddie accepting him too much, in fact, he’s loving it, but maybe that was the problem since Eddie’s just being a supportive friend and Buck’s wolf is now singing sonnets to the moon about Eddie and contemplating whether a rabbit or raccoon in a more appropriate present for Eddie.

It had started out small, with Eddie offering his clothes to Buck, which isn’t new for them, but what is new is he starts offering a hoodie or two that he’s worn once or twice, so it smells like him. He shrugs like it means nothing and says, “I read somewhere that wolves like smelling like other members of the pack.”

Buck hadn’t mentioned how the 118 had become his pack over the years, how Eddie had become such a core part of it, but Eddie just knew, and so Buck had taken the hoodies, eyes slightly watery and croaked out a thank you and just barely resisted shoving his face in the soft fabric and huffing Eddie’s scent like a crazy person. If he did that when he got home and the promptly had to take a cold shower that was between him and god.

I don’t even think it still Tuesday any where in the world now but I’m still going to tag some people who might be interested:

@exhuastedpigeon @hippolotamus @spotsandsocks @oureddie @wildlife4life @jesuisici33 @steadfastsaturnsrings @diazsdimples @daffi-990 @diazheartsbuckley @drmellking @pirrusstuff @theotherbuckley @watchyourbuck @idealuk

WIP Wednesday 🐺

Tagged by the lovely @spotsandsocks and @hippolotamus

So since all of y’all really liked my Golden Retriever Werewolf Buck here’s some more:

The next time something happens Buck doesn’t even realise it, because it so common for Buck to stop by Eddie’s favourite coffee shop and pick him up a something or for Eddie to order extra fries because he knows Buck will want some of his even though he said he didn’t want fries.

“Is that a werewolf thing?” Eddie asks one day while watching Buck shovel said fries into his mouth.

Buck tries to say ‘What?’ but he still got a mouth full of food and it comes out garbled, Eddie understands him just fine.

“Gross dude,” Eddie shakes his head, a fond smile caught in the corner of his lips, Buck doesn’t stare at them, he doesn’t. “All the food, how much you eat, I just thought it was just a you thing, with you being so big-” Eddie cuts himself off, looking away from Buck, cheeks turning that beautifully rosey colour that makes Buck just want to lick him, not sexually, just to see if that blush taste as sweet as it looks, okay maybe a little sexually, because if given the chance he would follow that down and down -nope not going there. Eddie’s just embarrassed because he made an assumption about Buck being a werewolf don’t make it weird Buckley. Eddie clears his throat, oblivious to Buck’s run away thoughts, “I mean with you trying to bulk up, have bulked up! Because you have! And you look great man…” Eddie trails off, cheeks still bright red, hand running through his hair nervously.

Buck decides to ignore how that complement went straight to his dick, licks some stray sauce of his fingers, not looking at Eddie under his eyes lashes as he does because that would be weird, right? Yes, weird because Eddie is blushing even more and now looking down at the table as if it holds the secrets of the universe.

buck: uh you!

eddie: what?

[mortalsbowbeforeme]

Been reading Stucky fanfic (which i haven’t done in ages) to take a short break from 9-1-1 drama and I now find myself a little obsessed with the thought of Captain America Eddie Diaz and Winter Soldier Evan Buckley.

[mortalsbowbeforeme]

season 9 buck & eddie where buck is still living at the diaz house. he's having trouble picking an apartment, his credit score isn't helping with that at all, none of them feel right, his schedule is still as busy as ever and he just...slowly starts going to fewer & fewer showings. he, eddie, & chris have a routine at this point. and it's during that routine, an early morning, it's busy. chris is running late for school, both eddie & buck are trying to make it to their shift, buck is gonna drop chris off at school, he's ushering chris out the door, eddie following behind -

eddie: *patting his pockets* "shit, i think i left my wallet by the bed." buck: "we got it, we got it, you go." eddie: "alright, see you! chris, have a good day at school!" eddie & buck: *absentmindedly kiss each other goodbye, freeze, stare at each other in shock* chris: *jaw dropped but delighted* buck, panicking: "see you at work" eddie, also panicking: "yep! okay bye!" *slams the door*

[mortalsbowbeforeme]

With all the traveling Buck did, and the amount of bad luck he also has, can you imagine Buck just all of a sudden appearing in a lot of documentaries? Like surviving a wildfire, that time I saved my co-worker from being eaten by his cannibal date, being a witness to a crime, being caught in a massive tornado, and nearly flying out of his friend's car window. His small plane, while traveling in Peru, crashed, and he survived that. Just a bunch of crazy fucking shit.

So, the 118 is just sitting there, catching up on some news, when a TikTok video goes viral, which makes the news on TV. Someone had compiled a video of all Buck's interview segments, and the caption is like ???? Is this dude ok?? Or is this an actor??? And one of the top comments says that he was also in a Tsunami and saved a lot of people, including said commenter. The other top comment states that he has also been struck by lightning and survived.

Everyone just turns to Buck, who's in the kitchen shoveling food into his mouth, and blinks when he sees everyone staring at him in horror like ????

"Oh, shit, those finally came out?" he says as he spots a documentary he was on, helping a friend.

"What do you mean finally came out?" Eddie asks incredulously.

"Uhh, I remember helping friends with retelling events for documentaries and stuff. It's been a while, so I wasn't sure if those had made the green light or not. It's so weird they all came out at once," Buck says. He shrugs and goes back to his food.

"Bobby, why are you looking up how to bubble a person?" Chim says as he peeks at Bobby's phone.

"He's fixing to get his own room in our new home where he'll never get to leave," Bobby mutters.

"How much do you wanna bet we're about to get raided by the press?" Ravi says as he stares at Buck in awe.

Android Buck joining the team and Eddie despises androids cause yadadada he's a technophobe . And he's petty with Buck because he got partnered with this damn android and just dismisses him and whatever like he has No time to care about the stupid damn robot who looks just like a real man who's apart of their team at the station because he's the brand new flashy firefighter prototype .... and Buck just works and does his thing . And if Buck's programming goes a lil haywire when he gets ordered by Eddie in that sassy tone .. well he's not a deviant . Yet . But then there's this really intense call . Whole building on fire and it's raging and hot and Eddie's running through the hallway and Buck's right behind him and there's a flashover on the ceiling and Buck quickly acts and pushes Eddie down and gets above him so he's covered by Buck's fire resistant android cyberlife skin n turnouts . And Eddie's got 200 solid pounds of machine on top of him but other than that he's totally okay .. if Buck wasn't behind him and wasn't programmed to just . Save him . He would've been burnt and wouldn't make it home to his son ... Buck had his back . But that's literally Buck's design . Eddie can't just . Thank him for that , right ?

So if yall didn’t know, in The Hobbit book, Thranduil had the Dwarves locked up for approximately weeks, and Bilbo was just invisible and wandering in the palace the entire time, vibing miserably.

My headcanon, therefore, is that the Mirkwood Elves now have a local legend about a ghost haunting Thranduil’s palace, never seen but generally thought to be harmless. Thranduil scoffs at the idea, but has been seen glancing around at the dark corners of rooms. Legolas fully believes in it and is known to say hello out loud when he enters an empty room, in case the ghost is nearby.

It’s not until Legolas joins the Fellowship that he figures out that the supposed ghost was actually an invisible Bilbo the whole time. He never tells Thranduil, because he thinks it’s funny to see his regal father unnerved by the idea of a ghost.
