DAILY RAMONA FLOWERS DAYS 10-14
I didn't think I would get this far. I decided to draw Ramona with all her exes at least once.
more information about the last picture:

Day 14!! Gideon won the poll I did yesterday so he's the second ex I'm drawing Ramona with (Todd will be next ofc).
Hmm. So. Ramona and Gideon. Their relationship is… Very interesting (in the worst way possible). But I would be lying if I said I don't want to know more about it because we have so little information. So I kinda created this AU in my brain that is just me trying to guess how the time they dated was. I think I would be good for this because I lowkey had a similar experience when I was a teen (main reason I relate to Ramona, like I already said before).
(Idk if I'll do more about it. Maybe it would be… Too much? Or worse, people would think I'm trying to romanticize their relationship or something)
I also drew this for for AU, take your own conclusion about the plot :>

umm. pause. guys. guys. gay tommy has been canon this entire time. what the fuck. like. oh my god. no. like. okay. okay. so. 2x9 (hen begins), sal [deluca] is talking about his girlfriend dragging him to see twilight. he makes a homophobic joke about tommy being team jacob and tommy's like "i don't even know what that means." chimney says "he's insinuating that you're gay" and tommy blows deluca a kiss. fine. whatever. but THEN you skip to 2x12 (chimney begins), and—i stg it's a blink and you miss it moment—tommy and gerrard (racist captain) are having this conversation in the background
tommy: what about that burger place?
gerrard: tommy i hate that place. hey wasn't your girlfriend supposed to come and cook us dinner?
tommy: uhh. next tuesday.
gerrard: promise?
tommy: uhh. uh. yes. yeah. i will promise.
and it's like. number one, this sounds like a conversation they've had before. something to the tune of "hey, how come you never bring your girlfriend around" which i can't help but think was intentional considering the members of the old 118 were entirely familiar with deluca's girlfriend gina. but number two, no straight man who has a girlfriend sounds that unsure that they have a fucking girlfriend. it was very much giving "ah yes. this human lady that i love that most definitely exists. absolutely. also i like breasts." and it's just like. ok. what the fuck. like. i don't know if this was the plan all along. i don't think it was. i still maintain buck/eddie were supposed to go canon after the shooting and the powers that be got in the way. but. but. the idea that this canon queer character has been hiding in plain sight (subtext) is just. wild to me. like. i've always headcanoned tommy as gay, mostly because every character he plays seems fruity as hell. but bro. i don't think it's a headcanon anymore. and i don't think it ever has been. what the fuck.
there's also the idea that. like. so i've been watching the begins episodes again trying to figure out what, exactly, tommy's crime against the members of the 118 has been. like. he worked in a -phobic/-cist environment. he was definitely complicit in making hen/chimney feel like outsiders in their workplace yes yes all these things are true. but as far as i can tell, tommy has rarely ever actively been anything except spineless. deluca makes a homophobic joke? tommy laughs. gerrard makes a bunch of sexist and racist comments? tommy looks, but doesn't say anything to encourage (or discourage him). hen gives her monologue? he looks chagrined.
and his complicity would be absolutely shitty and inexcusable if he was just a cishet white man. no questions asked. but if — if — you view his behavior through the lens of the fact that tommy is queer himself? that tommy is, and always has been, a member of a marginalized community who felt it was easier and safer to assimilate than it was to be openly queer and have a target on his back? his behavior becomes a whole hell of a lot more understandable. yes, it's still shitty, but. there's a purpose behind it. and this idea is supported by the fact that, when gerrard leaves (flashing forward to bobby begins again), even before bobby gets there (because we always credit bobby with making the 118 the family it is today), like. the atmosphere is completely different. tommy and hen? are friendly with each other. chimney and tommy? also friendly with each other. which we also know because in 2x14 broken, he calls him up for help. which lends credibility to the idea that the problems tommy had (or thought he had) with henchim were not about them as people but more about whatever manufactured conservative boys club bullshit gerrard fostered.
and it's just like. motherfucker. bitch. what the hell. like. first of all, leave it to 9-1-1 to tell a story like this in the most subtle way possible. like if that was indeed the intended implication, i'm throwing my tv off a bridge immediately. but also. second of all. what is wrong with this show. they're crazy. i want to eat it like a loaf of bread. just shovel it in my mouth because the idea that tommy has been queer all along, that he wasn't brought back just to be a stopgap on buck's queer journey to eddie, but that he's been haunting the edges of the narrative like a gay ghost is sooo like. ohhh. okay. [throws up]. like????? okay. anyway. i'm going to be thinking about this the rest of the day.

i‘m going to project again and say. what if. steve‘s parents own a construction company and they get steve to work for them. he‘s in charge of smaller stuff in the office, like making sure all the paperwork‘s correctly filed and stuff, but he works in a part of the building that the construction workers have to go to in order to clock in and out.
and. construction worker eddie. who‘s been working there for almost as long as steve has, and always offhandedly gives him shit about being the bosses son. but it‘s just playful banter. at least steve’s pretty sure it is.
and if he‘s being honest, he‘s always looking forward to when eddie‘s done with his shift and walks by steve‘s desk all distracted and sweaty, only for him to turn back towards steve after he‘s clocked out and wink at him or comment on steve‘s choice of clothing for the day.
steve starts to put on specific shirts or accessories that eddie‘s commented on before, just to get another reaction out of the guy. he finds himself waiting for 5 o‘clock, checking the time just as often as his hair in the mirror.
but there‘s also times where eddie‘s just plain grumpy, had a bad day, and steve always expects him to just walk out without saying anything. for some reason, though, steve‘s the only person there that eddie actually talks to or at least gives him an appreciative eyebrow raise and a nod.
one day steve‘s dad decides it‘d be good for his son to get some actual hands on experience. so he gets sent to the construction site with the other guys, absolutely not prepared for what awaits him. he‘s so grateful when he notices that eddie‘s in the group he‘s working with that day, and he’s immediately taken under his wing.
he teasingly judges him about not knowing things that, by now, are so logical to eddie, but shows him the ropes anyways. they finally have an excuse to talk more to each other, and eddie drags steve along on his smoke breaks (maybe because steve insisted that, sure, he still smokes).
his dad expected steve to throw a fit after the first day, but he actually finds he doesn’t mind the work. he gets to get to know eddie a bit better, shares beers with him and the rest of the crew when they‘re done with everything. the added bonus of occasionally seeing eddie‘s tattooed and shirtless body covered in sweat and dirt isn‘t too bad either, something in the back of steve‘s mind supplies. but it‘s not like he‘s gonna tell his dad about that.
and maybe, one time after they‘re done with work, proud of everything they‘d accomplished during the day, steve invites eddie over to his place to hang out. and maybe, they arrive at work the next morning at the same time. in the same car. with eddie wearing one of steve‘s shirts.
