#also they're firefighters

[vimbry]

this poor person who's on the radar rn fighting for their life in the replies about the characters they drew actually being firefighters because a bunch of people saw a vaguely similar uniform and came in like "umm, acab ://"

[itsbasicallycanon]

was reading little kid with a big death wish (@remedyturtles) and wanted to play around with visualizing leo and sensei's headspace and putting it alongside the outside world and i'm mostly happy with it so i'm posting it

it's so wild to look at s1!buck compared to s7!buck

[bucksdaffy]

lou's comparison of "kinley" to kindling makes me feel so soft because 1) both buck and tommy are firefighters so it serves as a nice reference to that but also 2) we use kindling so that we can sustain the fire which itself can have so many love connotations I'M GOING INSANE like it can be associated with passion and desire and warmth and affection and comfort and security and transformation and growth and hope and so much more?? and the fact that kindling serves as a base for all of that?? so as long as they are together and make sure to nurture their relationship they will basically have it all?? which i'm pretty sure is like the goal of every relationship??

So I went to the wiki page for the henghill Bullet & Brain mission of 2.2 looking for some dialogue I had missed and

a) I found something incredibly tasty that slotted into some other thoughts I'd been having, more on that on another day, and

b) I saw this super fun little trivia at the bottom, which!

I knew Penacony characters like Boothill took a lot of inspirations from old movies, but I didn't realize it was even in his and Dan Heng's relationship, that's so cool!!

It fits them very well, it's such a fun reference. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was an old buddy Western film (from 1969- nice) about a pair of outlaws. Butch Cassidy was the leader of a gang, and described as clever, affable, and talkative. Meanwhile, his closest companion, the Sundance Kid, was known as a man of few words.

Cassidy's original birth name was much more plain, but similar to Boothill, he took on a new moniker when he became an outlaw. "Cassidy" had been the last name of his beloved mentor, who taught him how to shoot and ride. And Sundance Kid was known as he was because Sundance was the name of his hometown, and it was the only place that had ever managed to catch and jail him, back when he'd been younger (also similar to Dan Heng, but ouch).

These two stick together like glue throughout the length of the film- through Cassidy's leadership of the gang being challenged, through a train robbery gone wrong, through being pursued by mercenaries, and even through fleeing to Bolivia and trying to start over together.

I don't want to say too much more, since the mission title is referencing one specific movie that I've never seen. I kinda wanna watch it now, though, just to see the inspiration that went into Boothill and Dan Heng and how they get along. I just think it's really sweet that these two were literally made to be the best of bros, how lovely is that. 💕

happy wednesday! your writing is a treat and I hope you're having a lovely day <3

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE Y- I MEAN ARSON! ARSON! ARSON! ARSON! ARSON!

WIP Wednesday (1/31) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU (Part 93)

Andrew How much gas did you use? 10 Eh. Twenty bucks worth, I guess. Andrew You spent twenty dollars on gas just to burn a building? What are you, rich? 10 I'm not super wealthy, but I've got money. Besides, it was a special request, if you recall correctly. Andrew No it wasn’t. It was a suggestion. Wait. No. Scratch that. It was just an idea. 10 An idea that YOU gave me. :) Mr. Firefighter. Andrew I told you to knock that off. 10 Didn’t say I would. Andrew You’re annoying. You’re annoying and you might be stalking me. Why am I chatting with a potential stalker? 10 I might be annoying, but I’m not stalking you. Not my crime of choice. And… as for why you’re chatting with me. I think it’s because you like me.

Andrew’s eyes widen. Well, yeah. Duh. 10 is hot and witty and stupid. Of course Andrew likes him. But 10 isn’t supposed to know that.

10 Or, you think I’m interesting enough to talk to. By the way, *you* messaged me. Which means you took my number from a confidential case file. Thus, you’re the stalker.

Andrew sucks his teeth. Fuck. He’s almost got a point. But,

Andrew I got your number off the station’s phone when you called.  10 Stalker. Andrew Stop saying that. 10 Fine. I’ll say something else. I like you, too. You might actually be my first friend. Congratulations. Andrew An honor, I’m sure. 10 Mmhmm. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m starving to death. I’m going to get some dinner. Don’t follow me. Stalker.

Andrew huffs and rolls his eyes. He sort of wishes he could figure out where 10 is going for dinner. He wants to see him again. The picture in his head may be perfect but it’s not enough. He wants to sit across from this man and talk for real. Maybe one day.

started watching the gay firefighter show and i totally get the whole buddie thing

Re reading PBATMB/Firefighter AU/Playmaker/Princess Diaries to feel something (my life is so stressful I’d rather just hurt from them ❤️) thanks for all of you silly little aus Kit

darling you have the RANGE of comfort aus lmao i love it literally on one hand playmaker and pbatmb.....comfort i guess because your life may be stressful rn but at least you're doing better than the most mal-adjusted and unhealthy of all my obikins

and on the other hand, firefighter au is literally cavity-inducing when it's not just a thinly veiled excuse for cocky obi-wan smut, which is something that the princess diaries au has in common with it there!

I bought this book today.

Title translates to "The Firefighting Textbook"; it's got 1024 pages.

And no, it's not me hyperfixating on firefighting but it's a gift for someone who's currently training to become a volunteer firefighter. But I did skim through the book and I'd be lying if I said I didn't lose at least an hour reading all kinds of tidbits, it's super interesting. And the downside is, I can barely use any of this information for writing fic because it's all German terminology, organization, hierarchies, acronyms etc. I have no idea how to translate any of this into English or how to research potential differences to the US.

[quaranmine]

I don't have time to write it out now but I realized last night that I may have taken it a little bit for granted if my readers truly know what a hot shot crew is or not lmao so I may make a post on that with some articles/videos to throw in my masterpost

[heavenknowsffs]

We have reached a point in technology where we can have realistic looking robot whales under the sea with cameras in their robot bodies to study sea life more efficiently but we still have firefighters go out with a little truck and a hose

if it's too good to be true then it probably is if it's too good to be true then it probably is if it's too good to be true then it probably is if it's-

[basically-i-write-shit]

Being a 9-1-1 fox fan and a teacher is so interesting and fun bc we took our preschoolers to the local fire station today and one of my only thoughts was about the 118 going offline for a bit just to give local schools and daycares tours. Special interest brain rot.

Every week 911 just shows Buck and Eddie doing the gayest shit possible then we’re told they’re not canonly queer??

why the american healthcare system is a joke:

I have amazing health insurance and after I fell recently I still have had to pay over $2-3k on the ambulance & surgeries and dental work because no one in my insurance network would see me on an emergency basis because doctors are the worst.

// I had at one point had the thought what if firefighter Ig. At a certain age he is able to bend fire that is also not his, especially ones caused by natural causes rather than by someone's else's magic. But ofc the fact that most firefighter departments insist on using water hoses makes it difficult for him.
