Konoha Ninja: *Looks at Guy* Your boyfriend is bonkers!

Gai: *Waves Kakashi with a big smile from afar before facing an army with just his bare fists.*

Kakashi: Yeah, but he's cute.

What in the Grey’s Anatomy is that elevator scene? (Not that I’m complaining lol)

I'm going to assume you're talking about the elevator scene with Tim and Lucy in the next episode and not the one with Blair, right? *joking* 🫠 I am so intrigued by that scene… Especially the way it is cut in the promo… Like what is happening in-between… And after! I mean, they can't have spoiled us the whole scene, right? And then, there's that shot of Lucy stopping/blocking the elevator (or at least, I think that's what she does when she pushes that button)… My girl said she wasn't going to be interrupted this time… and you know what, I get it!

I see that you are watching supernatural. just curious but what do you think so far??? also it’d be really funny to hear what you thinks gonna happen later in the series <3 (also also hi!!!)

HIHI!! im absolutely obsessed atm broo ive been binging spn so hard 😭 i havent got any hard theories (the only theory i was rlly like. stuck on?? was thinking sam was azazels son. i also thought for like half of the episode where dean comes back from hell that he was still dead and in hell and it was js a trick)

i feel like maaybe the rest of this season is dealing with the horsemen (they js finished beating up famine) and then maybe at the end itll be sam saying yes to lucifer?? i js know if they end up in detroit im gonna lose it. i also think cas has GOTTA become human at some point theres no way theyre not gonna do that (and i rlly wanna know who put that handprint on dean) actually i mean we havent seen a lot of michael is he gonna come back. he seems cool

my like singular peeve (/lh) abt this show is how dirty they did jo and ellen. i loved ellen she was my everything . jo was deans little sister u cant change my mind (i sobbed)

Wow! The last post on this topic was quite popular! So here’s another from a person that actually does emergency response for a living…

Writing PTSD in first responders/emergency personnel accurately: Trauma Thresholds

(I called them out in the tags last time for Owen’s PTSD portrayal, but this is one thing Grey’s anatomy does quite well.)

One mistake I see in media/writing is a character being traumatized by something that an average person would find traumatic…but probably not an experienced responder.

We do expect to see and are trained to cope with some level of trauma in our jobs. You anticipate witnessing injury, illness, death, and grief. So things that the average civilian finds disturbing don’t phase us so much. But there are specific things that can trigger a trauma response, mainly:

Moral injury: Witnessing or being put in a situation that violates your deeply held moral values or sense of self

Projecting loved ones on to a trauma (I.e. what if that was my kid/they are the same age as my sister/my loved one was at that event)

Experiencing/witnessing violence or harassment on the job

Out of my depth: asked to work without the necessary tools, rest, or training

Here’s a couple examples of what might be par for the course versus what will fuck you (or your character) up….

Scenario 1: Paramedic responds to a heart attack on a middle aged man. Performs CPR while wife wails in the background.

Traumatic? Probably not

Scenario 2: Paramedic responds to a sudden infant death call on a six month old. Performs infant CPR. Mom is wailing in the background. Paramedic has a newborn at home with their spouse, born a few weeks ago.

Traumatic? Yep!

-

Scenario 1: ED nurse works a gunshot victim on their shift. Standard case that they see frequently in an urban ED.

Traumatic? Probably not.

Scenario 2: There is a mass shooting at a local event. Sudden influx of multiple gunshot victims. The ED is overwhelmed and understaffed. Family are showing up at the ED screaming and looking for loved ones. The shooter is still at large.

Traumatic? Yep.

-

Scenario 1: Public Health worker is doing shelter surveillance and interviewing people on their disease exposures and medical needs. Hears harrowing stories about the disaster from traumatized and scared people who may be separated from loved ones/witnessed death/lost their homes.

Traumatic? Probably not.

Scenario 2: Public Health worker is doing shelter surveillance and interviewing people on their disease exposures and medical needs. There is an unaccompanied child/dementia patient wandering around. They realize that this person’s family have left without notifying anyone and have abandoned their loved one during the disaster. The person is anxious/inconsolable and asking the worker where their family has gone.

Traumatic? Yep.

-

Scenario 1: Disaster animal shelter worker is doing intake for animals after an evacuation. Both the people and animals are traumatized and stressed, anxious about being separated.

Traumatic? Probably not.

Scenario 2: Disaster animal shelter worker is doing intake for animals after an evacuation. A man comes in and aggressively demands to be given his purebred dog. Refuses to show ID. He becomes increasingly aggressive, threatening workers but departs when police are called. Police inform worker that the man was probably trying to steal a purebred dog from the shelter to sell. When checking the microchip, realizes they are correct- they remember the owner and it is not that man.

Traumatic? Yep.

-

These are just a few examples of things that happen in real life. It can be different if you are new to the field and witnessing things for the first time, but if you’re writing an experienced responder experiencing trauma make sure to give context as to why a certain event was traumatic as compared to their normal work threshold.

Also make sure not to fall into the trap of writing “perfect victims.” People in stressful situations can and do act very poorly out of fear and often we take the brunt of it. It’s not realistic to write all the victims that your character is helping as calm, compliant, rational, and kind. They are more likely confused, angry, combative, dazed, and upset. And they are likely to view their problem or loved one as more important than everyone else’s in that moment. And to act in accordance. No matter how insignificant.

Lastly don’t forget that in addition to work, we have personal lives. While working stressful situations, we too have loved ones pass, pets get sick, have relationship problems, etc. so you can write that in to flesh out the character. It’s very much true that people with children have a harder time dealing with situations involving harm to kids, people with pets struggle more with helping in situations involving animals, etc.

Any hcs for Bayverse Soundshift?

I think we've talked about bayverse Soundwave being especially protective/possessive of Makeshift, and I stand by that

They've known each other since the beginning of the decepticons

They've been apart for a while because of Soundwave playing generational mindgames with McDreamy and his lineage, and Makeshift is deep undercover as an autobot, tfa Shockwave style. They will (probably) reunite. ...right?

Makeshift, in his time undercover, has snuck out in the middle of what constitutes as night for cybertronians in order to meet Soundwave while the war was still going on on Cybertron

hi! can we get your thoughts on how bsd men would propose? thanks ❣️

oooo i think oda would be the most romantic out of all of them. i def think he'd want it in private, and something simple. for some reason the first thing that comes to mind is a beach proposal :") a little spot on a beach with no one around as the sun is setting, lots of rose petals and kisses and i love you's <3

dazai probably wouldn't even want to propose unless you explicitly wanted him too, he'd probably just suggest an elopement and a sex-filled honeymoon

fyodor would be sweet and simple. i can see him taking you out to a nice dinner or just a dinner at your favorite restaurant and going on a walk afterwards, and proposing to you there. and he wears that one suit he has on in the rooftop party mayoi card god he's sexy

i can see verlaine doing something a little more intricate but not over the top. just something that he put a lot of thought into. you know how in grey's anatomy derek proposes to meredith on the plot of land their house is gonna be built on with the blueprint of their house mapped out in candles. something like that

me when not having my sobh book is so ingrained in my mind that it’s been in my dreams the past TWO nights!!!!

Ok I have a genuine question for people in tv series fandoms with lots of episodes. I'm a BBC Sherlock fan, and as we well know there are very few episodes of Sherlock, so it's really easy to create and remember abbreviations for each episodes. ASiP for A Study in Pink, TGG for The Great Game, etc., which makes online discourse very convenient. Does such a process also exist in fandoms with lots of episodes (or even just a reasonable number of episodes. I'm thinking Game of Thrones, Grey's Anatomy, etc.)? Do you have abbreviations and somehow remember them all? Do you just use the straight name of the episode in your online discourse? Or do you exclusively refer to moments/scenes in the show instead of referring to episode titles?

like I know Grey's Anatomy is technically old enough to be graduating from high school this year but since it's also improbably still airing maybe don't file it under RETRO TV, NETFLIX

[traumatizedmathilda]

me: maybe I'm overreacting, maybe the emotional neglect wasn't that bad?

mum: *assumes I've seen southpark while ive never talked about that serie ever in my life*

me: okay nevermind

Ok, since the last two posts were quite serious, here’s a lighthearted one…

Writing first responders accurately: It’s not that serious!

I think sometimes writers fall into the trap of writing people who do serious careers as having very serious personalities and in emergency response that’s typically totally untrue.

It takes a sense of humor to work in emergency situations and we do deal with a lot of absurd things so most of us are actually pretty laid back at work. If you’re writing your characters being serious in their downtime or interactions with coworkers outside of an active response…you’re doing it wrong lol

Consider instead:

Doing paperwork and admin work

Cracking jokes/dark humor/inside jokes

Sharing memes

Eating snacks

Coffee

Making fun of each other (a bit like a sibling relationship: we love you, we’re here for you on hard days, and we will never stop bringing up the time you mispronounced that word.❤️)

Making fun of situations

Hanging out in each other’s offices

Pranks (my coworker once fed us green bean flavored candy corns, why?!)

Listening to music

Napping under desks

Generally just fucking around

There is a lot of “hurry up and wait” which we use to describe situations where you are just sitting on your hands until you get the go ahead or guidance or specific resource. And you can’t really start in on other work because you might have to drop it at any moment.

It would actually kind of interesting if it turns out that in Earthspark that not just the Quintessons have taken over Cybertron, but they've also gotten help from upper class Transformers.

It would be, because I can see the opportunity for a situation similar to what we see with Dylan in DOTM, but instead of with humans and decepticons it's witha cybertronian and their Quintesson sponser

came to house for the middle aged men yaoi, stayed for every single character

[bipunkharrington]

Honestly, the pain of being on season 1 of 19 of a show that's been going for years and knowing you can't go in the tags because there will be two decades worth of spoilers in there is real
