like honestly. for real. if i was on my 49th hour of knowing i was bisexual. and on my first ever date with someone of the same sex. and that person publicly called me out for being in the closet and gave me shit about it in front of my best friend. and then (despite knowing ahead of time that i was just now figuring myself out, and also knowing that i had a super weird relationship with that friend, and also knowing that i was really nervous but excited to try things out) left me on the curb in front of a restaurant. after calling an uber and waiting until the car was literally pulling up outside to say oh - no actually this car is just for me; you can find your own way home. and then didn’t call me at all until my best friend who was panicking about his own relationship and who i had just come out to for the first time told me to call the guy so i called him and invited him to coffee to beg him to give me another chance. despite the fact that i never even did anything wrong in the first place. and i have a known history for sublimating my own identity in relationships that are wrong for me because of my anxious attachment trauma. and then i spend six months dating this person only to later find out that he dated my first love for years and strung her along to the point of being engaged. and then essentially left her at the altar when her mom was dying. and then called her crazy for dating me. and then dumped me. and then hooked up with me on a rebound and then said he was glad my best friend moved away because the competition was finally gone. like for real if I found out that people were rooting for me to end up with this guy……….. i would burn my own house down in real life.

I love getting up at 4am to buy tickets for the ashes down under - especially when the stupid ticketing website doesn’t work properly and kicks you out as you’re paying after having spend 40 minutes in a queue!!

Fun times!!

Thinking thoughts about buck and the food of it all - specifically when someone else is doing the cooking for him.

Because we don’t see others cooking for buck all that often - but when we do it’s very interesting. Obviously we have Bobby cooking all the time - that is predominantly for the entire firefam - the one exception being the pre lawsuit dinner with Athena. Other than Bobby the only people we’ve seen cook for him to some degree have been Taylor, Tommy, Eddie, and technically now Tia Peoa.

What’s especially interesting to me is that Taylor and Tommy - both his love interests, only ever made breakfast (Taylor barely even did that as it was mostly take out rather than something she actually made herself) and they are connected in to Buck struggling with some thing. Taylor when Buck is struggling with Maddie and Chim leaving, Tommy did twice - during the billy boils arc and again after their hook up - both times coming just before they break up (is the second one classed as a break up? I’m counting it).

Eddie and Tia pepa however, like Bobby, made dinner - not breakfast. So there’s something about breakfast being prepared by a li and it being a metaphor for that romantic relationship being set to fail when it’s connected to Buck.

However, making dinner for Buck is connected to family and family bonds - and the strength of those bonds when under strain - because in all 3 occasions when dinner has been made for buck the relationship has been subsequently tested, or it was already under strain.

With Bobby it was pre the lawsuit, but there was already tension as Bobby was keeping buck from returning to work.

With Eddie it was in the aftermath of him leaving the 118 and shortly before his full mental health break down, and Tia pepa cooking dinner came in the aftermath of buck and Eddie’s grief spiral argument and just before Eddie was due to return to El Paso - with buck still struggling with his grief and having to lose Eddie and Chris all over again.

So yeah - something about others cooking for Buck at times of stress and tension, but on all three occasions we see that tension and stress ultimately leading to stronger and closer bonds, especially familial.

Little dragon enjoyed yesterdays adventure at the Minack watching Seth Lakeman in both the glorious sunshine of the afternoon and the atmospheric evening (yes I saw him perform twice - he’s my favourite musician and the Minack is my favourite place in the whole world so I have to make the most of being there!)

Plus bonus pictures of the Minack looking as wonderful as always both in the glorious sunshine (the pictures don’t do the water colour justice!) and in the magic of twilight, complete with a post gig sweaty but very happy me!

Hope this cheers you up a little @spotsandsocks even if you did have to look at a picture of me with a very shiney forehead!!

New Oliver interview from the Upfronts. ✨

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Angela spoke a little about 9-1-1 and season 9 on GMA this morning.

“do you know what’s next for your character, athena?”

“he’s being very vague. they’re being very vague.”

[stagefoureddiediaz]

did you do your meta of the buddie moments and costumes? no rush though.

Hey Nonnie

I’m working on it - being away on holiday is meaning it’s taking ab it longer than I was planning but hoping to get it done either tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest!

Thanks for checking in and I promise I’ve not forgotten or anything 💜

okay. it’s not even about like whether or not buddie happened. it’s actually the fact that they literally spent SO much time this season focusing on buck and eddie’s relationship to the detriment of BOTH of them having coherent and developed storylines—cannot overstate that buck had NO STORYLINE this season except to be weird about eddie and eddie had TOO MUCH texas storyline that ultimately led nowhere—and then. didn’t follow through even ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP? EVEN THEIR PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP? i said this before but “buck misses his best friend” is not. A PLOT. okay.

and this isn’t even touching the fact that. um. basically none of the characters did anything this season that led to anything for them because they were all these choppy self-contained one-offs—bobby? hotshots, then his mom showed up, then he died of ratpox. hen? brief confrontation with ortiz, denny nde with no consequences, everyone forgot her birthday, she decided she didn’t want to be captain. maddie? world’s shortest pregnancy and also kidnapped but she’s over it now. chimney? maddie’s short pregnancy and kidnapping and then bobby died and he was set up to become captain (WITH NO FOCUS ON HIS LEADERSHIP PRIOR???😭). athena? beenado plane crash, sparky the rookie, cart cop, then bobby died. buck and eddie are the only characters who actually had anything consistent happening across the season and it didn’t even end up being resolved. season 8 is watchable and in isolation most episodes are enjoyable for what they are but as a whole it’s disorganized and inconsistent and the storytelling is unsatisfying and that Sucks .
