another hot take but i really don't think tommy's "my attention?" was him thinking buck has feelings for eddie. tommy thinks buck was jealous that he was getting excluded from the friend group, because he comes to clear the air about causing bad blood and even says "[eddie] can have more than one friend." tommy doesn't fully realize what's really going on until buck says "... 'cause trying to get your attention has been exhausting," and it dawns on him that buck's jealousy wasn't about getting excluded from eddie and tommy's friendship but about eddie jeopardizing tommy's time (additionally, buck's "i guess" isn't meant to be noncommittal; he's realizing in the moment that it's true, that it really was about tommy. the way he says it feels like it's a revelation to even him). remember, buck reached out to tommy at some point prior to the events of 7x04 for the tour, but was never actually interested in leaving the 118. it was absolutely a ploy to get closer to tommy. but eddie interrupts them and pulls tommy away from buck, and buck spirals. the main issue is that buck has no idea what his feelings are doing, so he latches on to the most likely explanation to him (with further context clues that indicate that's not what it's really about) until that moment between buck and tommy in the loft. basically buck's got a crush he doesn't know how to deal with so he makes it everybody's problem.

Hi hello I (an aroace) have been thinking about aromantic representation (or lack there of) in media and fanfiction and all the things I wish I could see out of what little we have so here goes.
I want to see the wider spectrum, and the fact that it's a spectrum in the first place. I want to see both the struggles and joys of aromantic. I want to see relationships that aren't bound to the societal norms of platonic and romantic relationships
I want to see characters who struggle to tell the difference between platonic and romantic attraction.
I want to see them be comfortable and happy being aro and having close friends.
Lets have characters who do experience romantic attraction, but have no desire to be in a romantic relationship, and have that be okay.
Lets have the reverse, where characters don't experience romantic attraction but do want to be in a romantic relationship.
Lets have characters who's experience of romantic attraction fluctuates.
I want to see aro/allo and aro/aro and aro/ace stuff
I want to see stories of family and friends struggling to understand non traditional or romantic partnerships, and sometimes they come around and sometimes they don't, but you are never alone because your partner and your friends and your family who care are there for you
There should be stories about the struggle of the societal expectation/normalization of putting romantic partners over friendships, and the people who get left behind because of that
There should be stories of people who are in a romantic relationship, and realize that one or both of them is aro, but love their partner in a platonic sense or Secret Third Way and who work through it together
Let there be cute little domestic slice of life fics about platonic life partners or qprs
Let QPR representation be different in every iteration, it's a queer relationship that isn't defined by anything other than the people in it. Let them resemble platonic relationships or romantic relationships or both or neither
Give me characters who love their person deeply and violently and intrinsically but it's a little to the left of platonic and a little to the right of romantic
Give me characters who are greyromantic and demiromantic and aroflux (ect.) navigating the struggles and highs and lows of being those identites
Give me relationships that are a mix of platonic and romantic but not necessarily either one
Give me platonic life partners who love each other and live their lives together
Give me non-traditional relationships in general
TLDR; there are so many options for representation of aromantistim and non traditional relationships and I want to see them all
The way I crave more aromantic tropes will never be satiated, these were just off the top of my head while word-vomiting, there are so many more ways to do this kind of representation, so don't be afraid to add on your own thoughts in the reblogs and comments! I just wanted to share some of the silly little thoughts rattling around in my skull. Hell I might come back with more in a week, who knows lol

WIP Wednesday
Tagged by @sylvienerevarine, @sheirukitriesfandom, and @theoneandonlysemla, thank you!
I tag @nostalgic-breton-girl, @dirty-bosmer, @wispstalk, and whoever else wants to share~
Here’s some Regill POV in the Abyss while Isanna’s having a post-Latverk breakdown:
He emerged from the cavern to see a gaggle of his squadmates standing about helplessly. The sight of them sent a twinge of irritation through him. Isanna was screaming her agony, and all they could do was stand here? Useless, the lot of them.
“Should we go to her?” Ember asked plaintively, dark eyes wide as she gazed questioningly at the others. “She’s sad.”
“I think she wants to be alone, kiddo,” Seelah said. Despite her words, her tone was doubtful, and it was rather unconvincingly that she added, “We should let her have her space.”
“Yeah,” Woljif said slowly, scratching his head as he stared at the commander with a frown. “I dunno, I don’t wanna make it worse somehow.”
“I hope she stops soon,” Daeran said, his attempt at dismissiveness somewhat undermined by his own frown. “I cannot abide this wailing.”
“I’ll go to her.”
The paralictor’s decisive tone cut short their conversation, and immediately all their eyes were on him, meeting him with looks that ranged from surprise to hostility.
“You’re the last person she needs right now,” Sosiel pointed out to murmurs of agreement.
“Don’t speak of what you don’t know,” Regill said curtly, glaring at them before making his way to the edge of the cliff where his commander knelt huddled into herself.
