Oh dam 🦫 we had this band come in, talked a bit about mental health and then just played cool music. I think bands should play in schools more often cause first off it makes students happy, second it’s great for bands to gain recognition when they start off and third it’s good for students who want to learn music to see what they could achieve if they wanted to and talk to people who are actively in a band! And also it’s just cool

pic from the post where i said i got my arm signed by the band that played @ my school today 🔥🔥🔥

the top one looks like a single signature but its two i swear

I know that some British people take umbrage at Americans calling the Great British Bake Off relaxing, but it's just because GBBO is such a different kind of stressful from American baking shows.

American baking shows will be called something like "Cupcake Knife Fight", there's horror movie lighting everywhere and dramatic stings every 5 seconds. All of the contestants are shit talking each other and fist fighting over the one single deep fryer provided by production. It will show the judges all whispering to each other at their super villain table overlooking the whole kitchen, and one will be like, "Oh my god. Everyone look at Brenda right now. She's straight tanking it." And it will cut to Brenda, who is running around covered in flour and crying and also bleeding for some reason. Then you get a clip from an interview with one of the contestants, and they're like, "I really need to win this. Without this award money, I'm gonna need to close my restaurant, sell my dad, and live out of my car. AGAIN." Then the giant digital doomsday clock overhead lets out a horrid klaxon, the judges tell half of them that their cupcakes taste disgusting, and one of them gets eliminated and sent to walk down the dramatically-lit shame hallway never to be seen again.

Meanwhile GBBO is in a lovely, brightly colored tent, there are delightful and friendly hosts/jesters there to keep everyone entertained, and all of the B Roll is of like... a bumblebee going into a flower, or a lamb running in a field. And yes, there will be moments where someone will mess up their timing or something, and they'll be looking at their bake through the oven door like, "oh gosh I don't think this will rise in time!" Then they stand up to find Paul Hollywood directly behind them ominously. His creepy whitewalker eyes will glow white, and he'll say something like "the 12th of June. 2035. Drowning." And his eyes will go back to normal and he'll walk away. Then the baker gives a playful grimace to the camera and says "that didnt sound great, did it?". Cut to a sweet looking older woman sipping tea on a stool and she says "oo I do hope that Prue enjoys the taste of my sugary, sticky baps!". Then, at the end, someone gets a gold star for doing good, and the loser of the episode gets in the middle of a giant group hug. You see all of them at the end of the series at a giant carnival with their families and the post credits informs you that all of the contestants have become a Partridge Family-style traveling band and stayed friends forever.

Ravi: Yeah, so when we were in the lab-

Buck: And you did a TERRORISM. which is ILLEGAL btw.

Hen and Chim: ???

Ravi: I mentioned that Eddie did something illegal once and he still hasn't gotten over it.

[stupixx]

Imagine Chimney going through Bobby's desk in his office. Having to clear personal things out. It breaks his heart, but also warms him because the captain was sentimental.

Then he comes across a small blue book labeled simply "Buck." Curious, he opens and flips through it.

Kid has eating problems. Will forget to eat when stressed. Feed him, and encourage him to cook, because he likes to taste-test a lot.

Chimney remembers that. Buck mentioning getting so hungry the starving pains go away. He does remember during the shitty times when Buck lost so much weight.

-Loves carbs

-Hates Okra

-Probably allergic to shellfish and mangos. Encourage him to get an allergy test

-Allergic to Naproxen

-Allergic to heavy fragrance laundry detergents. Use gentle.

-Remind him he's doing a great job. Use positive reinforcement.

-If he's depressed, as Maddie says, hand him a child. May and Harry work too.

-He's finally gaining weight! :)

-The Buckley parents are banned. Do not ask why. Firehouse is his safe area.

-He fidgets when he's stressed. Have him chop some vegetables or prepare them for you. He loves being helpful.

-He loves his clipboard. Have him organize important events. Give him gold stars. Do not let Hen and Chimney hide it. He gets sad.

-Remind him not to read too close or in the dark. He's gonna need glasses at this point. (If he does, don't let others tease him. Tell him he looks great)

-He doesn't admit it, but his leg still bothers him. Heating blankets are in the closet in the office. Have Eddie massage his leg or send him home early if he's obviously struggling.

Chim laughs. He laughs, and laughs, and starts to cry. Of all things, he did not expect to find a "How to Take Care of Your Buck" guide hidden away in Bobby's desk.

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

thinking about what buckandeddie must mean to maddie

maddie who watched as buck was discarded by their parents for not being daniel, for not being the son the wanted. maddie who watched as buck jumped from city to city, helplessly trying to find a place for himself in this world. maddie who watched as buck clung to one relationship after another, watching all these people leave him.

and then there’s eddie, eddie who gave buck a family and stability in a way he never had. eddie who’s been there for buck through every up and down, through every nde. eddie who’s so fond of everything that buck is, of every little trait he has that’s so quintessentially buck. curses, the universe, research spiral, reckless rescues, affinities for saws on calls. eddie who loves buck wholly.

and maddie can finally relax, she can finally watch her baby be happy and loved after everything he’s been through. eddie‘s got him.

[stupixx]

Alright in hindsight it is kind of funny that seemingly at first the writers were like “we’re going to have this one-off character who’s basically going to exist for one episode to be the frustratingly impossibly perfect foil for buck,” when writing eddie’s character for the first time.

but then eddie worked so well as a character that they were like “okay, well, we just introduced a Jennifer Love Hewitt character who’s not obviously paired up, so he can be her love interest,” but then jlh had the brilliant idea that maddie should be paired up with chimney and so that was out the window.

So they probably just started really developing the buck/eddie friendship thinking that it made for a fun dumb-and-dumber style best friendship/comedic duo, and they could figure out the love interest thing for both of them in the future. Except they way overshot it and accidentally made them soulmates.

whenever i’m worried about buddie canon i remember that my straight 62-year-old father who is incredibly offline and has probably never even heard the words “fandom” or “buddie” watched one episode of 911 and thought that a) buck and eddie were dating and b) buck was christopher’s biological father. we’re not insane, they really are just Like That

[stupixx]

Can't stop thinking about Eddie Diaz going to therapy and working his ass off while screaming and kicking to undo all the repression he's been living in for the past 30 years. I don't want him just to blur out, "I'm gay," and move on with his life as if it's not that big of a deal. He's an explosive man, but he also lived his entire life under such immense pressure, so I think his journey of self-discovery should be a quieter one. Let Eddie Diaz pick up stereotypically feminine hobbies like crocheting or embroidering because now that his father is not breathing down his neck, nobody can tell him that it's stupid or girly or "Edmundo if you're not the best at something, don't do it." Let Eddie Diaz paint his nails or wear brighter colors and softer fabrics because now that his mother is not breathing down his neck, nobody can tell him that "You're spending too much time with your sisters, Edmundo" or "It's not normal for a guy to only have female friends". Let Eddie Diaz find comfort in stuffed animals or careful touches because now nobody can tell him "Diaz men don't cry" or "You need to be a rock for your family". Let Eddie Diaz cry and mourn the child he could've been but who was smothered by his parents' demands. Let Eddie Diaz breathe with his full chest without the sickening weight of fear and anxiety for once in his goddamn life.
