#hippo my beloved! 💕

[elvensorceress]

Hello, my darling!!! For the fic writer asks… my apologies my brain is a bit messy to keep track of what you’ve been asked already. So please pick one you would love to answer 💖🦛

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

*dances in the rainbows* 💕💕💕 Hippo, my lovely! I will give you this one because idk I got to rambling.

💘Is there any posted fic you want to rework/re-edit/re-write?

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, under the cut.

I would rewrite some of the ending of Heart of Flowers/Heart of Gold. I made some deliberate choices that fit with canon that had happened thus far (post season 4) and I wanted Eddie to argue that he should have the love he wants. The most obvious target to have him argue this with was his parents because they were going to be the ones to have the loudest opinions on who he should or shouldn't love? Is I guess how I would describe it?

But I also don't like leaving Eddie's relationship with his parents that way. Especially after s5 and Hero Complex and etc. I love that Eddie and his dad started working to mend their relationship and be better for themselves and each other. And that was always what I wanted for my Heart series, too. I just never made it that far because the fic is already SO LONG.

And I will say, I've written Eddie in several fics having a contentious relationship with his parents. But it is 100% me projecting and filtering it through my relationship with my own parents? It was always the idea that "Eddie loves his parents, but they frustrate him and he can only be around them for so long before going crazy." I never once thought it's because the Diaz parents deserved hate or that they were irredeemable bigots. That's a big no from me, dawg, any time that happens. But relationships with parents of boomer age are v hard and they are not always full of immediate understanding and supportive-ness. 🙃 (I am in my mid-thirties like Eddie and my parents are in their early 60s like the Diaz parents would likely be if Ramón just retired and etc.) So. Take that as you will?

Either way. That is what I would rewrite. We stan the Diaz Family in this house. Yes, all of them. And how I wrote Eddie and Ramón's relationship in Eddie vs Feelings is much more how I prefer them to be portrayed. But you know. I am gay, ace, and disabled, and I was having an angry angry frustrated day when I wrote the end of my Heart series. But I still want to edit or add more so that it's more reflective of a mending relationship and parents who love and support no matter what even when they don't understand. Not that I feel like what I wrote goes against this? It's just incomplete to me because it ended with the argument and not the reconciliation and apologies.

when you get this ask could you perhaps maybe bless us with 5 of your fav songs (currently or of all time), and then send this ask to 5 of your mutuals who you think have good taste!

whipping out this old meme to say: sorry i’m basic and also have never once made a ‘favorites’ list without agonizing intensely 😭 so i narrowed it down to ‘favorite songs that have been used in hockey fancams’. HOWMSTEVER i also struggled with that. so. in no order are five songs shuffled from my fc songs playlist:

i cheated already i forgot we need to include anything hippo campus. yes i had to no i don’t even care which song (fc specific… bambi… semi-pro…) they’re my favorite band

sarah - alex g / astrid- glaive (*two songs but same vibes. it’s fine)

make out - julia nunes

junk of the heart (happy) - the kooks

pa’lante - hurray for the riffraff / thy mission - the garden (cheating again but these are both knox songs to me so they can be in one)

good old fashioned lover boy - queen

to spread some positivity, what are some blogs that bring you joy?💕

Hi! This is such a lovely question, so here are some of my favourite blogs!

@theotherbuckley - one of my very first 9-1-1 moots and one of the sweetest people on this site. Currently know for making some of the best bucktommy/118 tweets, doing INCREDIBLE bucktommy artwork, and writing some adorable fics.

@hippolotamus - MY LOVE! I'll never be able to yell about Hippo enough actually. Her writing is insanely good and will make you cry e v e r y time. Also has some of the most ouch edits you'll find, and is unbelievably skilled with a pencil.

@daffi-990 - Daffi is a fantastic author and one of the best hype people on the planet. She's just finished her Rival Firefighters fic, which is SO good, I urge everyone to go read it right now!! Also has an amazing Fantasy AU on the go, and some delightful fanart for it too!!

@bidisasterevankinard - Di is the OG of OG bucktommy shippers and has fully embraced multishipping to the max. She's the go to for all your Bucktommy, Suck, Saltommy, and platonic Buddie needs, and also one of the kindest people to exist.

@neverevan - Newbie has some amazing gif collections, both of the buddie and bucktommy variety, writes some incredible fics (including the Mudslide fic which I emplore you please go read) and also has some incredible takes on our beloved blorbos. Highly recommend

@spotsandsocks - 911blr's most favourite fantasy author lets be real! Spotty has written some amazing AUs, like the Dragonriders of Pern au, her Shifter Fic, and Author!Buck!! Whenever I see a dragon I think of our dear Spotty. One of the kindest mutuals a man can have.

@watchyourbuck - Sofia makes some of the most hilarious memes about the show and is a fucking delight to follow. Has fantastic takes, writes some positively steamy fics about both Buddie and Bucktommy, currently working on Murder Husbands and A.R.C.A.N.E.3 which I LOVE.

@bigfootsmom - Seriously if you don't follow Molly then what are you doing? An unbelievably talented artist that also manages to play with our emotions something wicked with their fics. Currently working on the seahorse girl dad Bucktommy fic that has me in such a chokehold it's insane, as well as the helicopter crash fic which might actually kill us all.

And some mutuals that deserve all the love in the world:

Hello dearest! A spring tulip from the garden for you. I hope you’re having a lovely day 💕

Hippo 🦛 my beloved!! 💜💙💚💕🌷💐🌼🌸✨

You are so sweet! Your flowers are so beautiful! Ngl I totally saved the picture you sent someone of your daffodils because those are my most favorite and they were so beautiful! But omg the gorgeous red tulips!! I am 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍

Thank you so much for brightening my morning!

[elvensorceress]

Okay, for memorable scenes. I’ll admit I haven’t been through your catalog yet. My first instinct is to say all of Unless you ask me to. If I must narrow it down (imagine me clutching my pearls and dramatically swooning onto my fainting couch) I would say: Eddie’s panic attack while Buck is gone. His panic during his trip away with Raul. His panic when he wants to offer himself to Buck. So… really all of Eddie’s panic 😅 I have an enormous soft spot for Eddie and all his feels 🥺 (and you dearest 🥰💖)

Unless You Ask Me To

Hippo, my beloved! 💕 That is fair. My fics are generally very long 🙃

🤣🤣🤣 Poor Eddie, panicking so much! But at least we're having fun??? He might have another one or two left in him. We'll see. 👀 Let me tell you though. Writing those and making them different? 🫠

I love and adore you so much! Thank you!

what's the most memorable scene you've read from one of my fics?

[spotsandsocks]

I came across this gif and immediately decided you needed to know about it! Because you absolutely deserve a pocket hedgehog 🦔

Arghhhh I love my pocket hedgehog- im so excited I have been judged worthy of such a companion 🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔

A most beloved pocket pal- both mr hedgie and you my dear hippo

Made my day 💕💜💕

[spotsandsocks]

Hello Dear Spots! You always bring such joy to my asks I wanted to pop in and try to return the favor! I hope you’re having a lovely day and finding ways to stay busy without dearest ao3 💞🦛

While I’m here I’ll say that I adored the ending to Good Knight Sweet Prince. You gave them a delightful happily ever after. And Cal really does have the best ideas! 🐉

My wonderful hippo what a treasure you are and how kind to me! Your mission is a success you have brought cheer to my day and a smile to my face!

I think we all deserve a hug and a pat on the back for being so brave about ao3 and especially the heros that are the ao3 volunteer team who fixed it all and brought back our beloved site

I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the end of good knight sweet Prince- I was a nervous spot about it all! 😂 Cal does indded have all the best ideas- thank you for reading it and all the encouraging comments along the way

Have a wonderful time zone dear hippo
