eddycantfail Today marks the end of a three year (and 3.5 season) journey which, is not exaggeration to say, was life changing.
This evening the final episode of @thecwwalker will air (at 8/7c), and it’s a bitter-sweet ending. Bitter because it was cut off before its time, but sweet because of the experiences and the people involved. I know others have already said this better than I can, but I want to express publicly my appreciation for our production team in Austin, our post team in LA, our joyful and welcoming cast, the writers, and especially @awfricke and @lindseylib.
I was a small part of the writers’ support staff, but Anna gave me the opportunity to write an episode on her show, and the entire writers’ room was supportive beyond anything I could have imagined. Thanks to them and the environment of love and support created by Anna this has been the most incredible experience I’ve ever had on a TV show or film. I’m going to miss everyone so much, but will hope for the day I get to work with any one of you again in the future. (But you’ll have to catch me first!)
Caw-Caw! #MaximumHeartbreak #ItWritesItself
A word from the writer's room... (is he taller than Jared? 😮)
My OC, Mirror Reflected Moonlight !! Vi goes by mirror pronouns, but uses he/they pronouns default ^^
Moonlight is part of the 7C Local Group! He is a fourth generation iterator created by A Bell Stacked Upon Two Bells, and is exceedingly devoted to his creators. They’re also a massive prick to everyone else </3
Annnd I’m not allowed to reveal any more so. Y’all will see :)
It’s also not a new oc by any means — I just never got a chance to utilize them. I made them last year so the art style is a lil different from my usual ^^

Can best jeanist control sheep? I mean he controls fibers but what makes it qualify as a fiber rather then just like sheep wool or like synthetic fibers how does that work if he tried do you think he could control like all plastic stuff or does it have to be string shaped? I really like the theory that if your body chemistry is unique enough and he is familiar enough with it that he could identify someone by their hair (like bakugo, sweating nitroglycerin has to make you body have some weird chemistry if only to prevent them from being poisoned by their own sweat) like in this fic (it’s part of a series so you’ll want to read the other works in the series first for context but it’s a really good series and I love it)

9-1-1: Lone Star’s Ronen Rubinstein and Rafael Silva on TV wedding and the beauty of queer love
9-1-1: Lone Star fans will finally see TK Strand (Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) get married in the two-part season four finale
After four years, some false starts, and far too many near-death experiences, 9-1-1: Lone Star fans will finally see TK Strand (Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) get married in the two-part season four finale on Tuesday May 16, 8/7c. But it's not going to be smooth-sailing, as fans have already been promised a tragedy that will strike — and change the trajectory of their lives forever.
"It's a blessing to be given these storylines," Rafael, 28, says on the set of HELLO!'s digital cover shoot in Los Angeles, "It's not every day that you get a story like this with juicy scenes where you have to focus and step up."
Fans already know that Lyndsy Fonseca will return as Carlos' best friend Iris, but the two episodes will see other surprises on-screen as TK and Carlos — known by their portmanteau Tarlos — lean on each other as they work through the shocking complications.
Ronen and Rafael met in 2019 when they were cast as TK, an NYC firefighter who moves to Austin with his father, Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe), and Carlos, an openly gay Latino police officer in the Austin PD.
Their relationship has become the focal point for the Fox drama, and a beloved character all its own, and the decision to have them finally wed means so much to so many, especially at a time in the US when conservative legislation has been attacking the LGBTQ community, making this wedding all the more poignant and important.
Over the past four years, the two actors have built such a bond on and off-screen that even among all the "chaos around us on set," as Ronen describes it, they are able to stay focused on telling their stories.
[ … ] ❀ you’re not from around here, are you ? i figured because you totally just missed emma cicciaro walking by. don’t tell me you don’t know who she is ? they kind of look like chase sui wonders and i could be wrong but i think that they might be 26 years old right now. they’ve been living in palmview for the last 26 years. and i don’t know if anyone has ever told them this before but they kind of remind me of effy stonem from skins. if you stick around the town long enough you might catch them in action working at the salty sailor bar as a server. you see this town isn’t really that big of a place, some folks like to call them the hellcat of palmview! they took a liking to the name too after a while, go figure. oh crap, they must have heard me yapping. they’re coming this way. i got to warn you though, rumor has it they can pretty self - indulgent at times. i wouldn’t take it too seriously though, from the times i’ve spoken to them they seemed pretty free - spirited to me. we see each other all the time since they live in that 5 bedroom apartment beside me over in coral cove. i better leave you to it. it was nice meeting you !
statistics .
full name: emma josephine cicciaro. nickname(s): usually just goes by emma but will answer to em or emmy. label: the hellcat. counterpart: effy stonem from skins. age: twenty6 years old. date of birth: october 24th, 1997. hometown: palmview grove, florida. previous location: los angeles, california. living arrangement: harborview residences #7c, coral cove. sexuality: bisexual. occupation: server at the salty sailor bar. positive traits: alluring, free - spirited, venturesome. negative traits: self - indulgent, destructive, opportunistic.
biography .
born and raised in palmview. with absent parents who were unhappy with each other, emma learned to fend for herself from an early age. as a kid she was quiet and often kept to herself, but as she grew older she began engaging in hedonistic pursuit - alcohol, drugs, sex - it was her coping mechanism, even if it was way worse than her problems.
emma had a hard time connecting with people because of the�� way she was raised, which often made her come off as self - centered. the thing is, she acknowledges this and knows that she treats people like shit sometimes, but she just couldn't help it. emma craves affection but she tends to self - sabotage all the good things she had in her life because she believes she doesn't deserve them.
when she was sixteen, her parents finally separated. emma had known about the illicit affair between her mother and the other guy for a while - it wasn't emma who told her father, and yet her mother blamed her for it, and emma let her be. her mother began to drink a lot after that and emma stepped up to take care of the house, eventually dropping out of school and took part - time jobs to support the two of them.
five years later, emma decided she had enough. she packed her things and asked her best friend to come with her to la on a whim, but only emma made it there. despite rocky start, emma ended up having a good time in la - she even lived her dream as a rockstar's girlfriend at some point, but like all the good things in her life, they never last.
a month ago she came back to palmview like surprise bitch , i bet u thought u've seen the last of me <333 as if she didn't just disappear five years ago and ghost everyone else bc she thought she would never come back again. when asked why she did she would just say she got bored of la but really she just didn't know where to go after she broke up with her rockstar ex. as much as she wanted to get out of this town this is where she grew up so maybe she's lowkey a little attached.
well, it's not emma if she's not running from her problems so that was on brand for her anyways. luckily or not she's still same emma from before - maybe better, maybe worse - that's for us to find out bc she's a new muse so fuck it we ball xx
personality .
she's the effy stonem counterpart so she really has that heartless emo bitch vibes going on, although nowadays it's been toned down a bit. she's probably gotten more chill now, but during her teenage years emma was notoriously known for her nasty temper and partying habits. despite common misconception about her being unapproachable, emma is someone who's easy to get along with - she might be handful at times ( that's why u got two hands <333 ) but she generally means well, just has a hard time showing it, is all. she's always down to have a good time and is prone to make bad decisions, which more often than not gets her into trouble but she enjoys living on the edge !!! very flirtatious and straightforward with her sexual endeavors - emma sleeps around a lot bc she has commitment issues and believes nobody would ever really love her, yet at the same time thinks she's too good for anyone. self - sabotage all the time that it gets tiring, but she just couldn't help it she's problematic like that.
9-1-1: Lone Star’s Ronen Rubinstein and Rafael Silva on TV wedding and the beauty of queer love
9-1-1: Lone Star fans will finally see TK Strand (Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) get married in the two-part season four finale
BY REBECCA LEWIS | Hello! Magazine, May 2023
After four years, some false starts, and far too many near-death experiences, 9-1-1: Lone Star fans will finally see TK Strand (Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) get married in the two-part season four finale on Tuesday May 16, 8/7c. But it's not going to be smooth-sailing, as fans have already been promised a tragedy that will strike — and change the trajectory of their lives forever.
"It's a blessing to be given these storylines," Rafael, 28, says on the set of HELLO!'s digital cover shoot in Los Angeles, "It's not every day that you get a story like this with juicy scenes where you have to focus and step up."
Fans already know that Lyndsy Fonseca will return as Carlos' best friend Iris, but the two episodes will see other surprises on-screen as TK and Carlos — known by their portmanteau Tarlos — lean on each other as they work through the shocking complications.
Ronen and Rafael met in 2019 when they were cast as TK, an NYC firefighter who moves to Austin with his father, Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe), and Carlos, an openly gay Latino police officer in the Austin PD.
Their relationship has become the focal point for the Fox drama, and a beloved character all its own, and the decision to have them finally wed means so much to so many, especially at a time in the US when conservative legislation has been attacking the LGBTQ community, making this wedding all the more poignant and important.
Over the past four years, the two actors have built such a bond on and off-screen that even among all the "chaos around us on set," as Ronen describes it, they are able to stay focused on telling their stories.
That connection also helped Ronen, 29, come out publicly as bisexual in 2021; he credited Rafael at the time as one of a few people, along with wife Jessica Parker Kennedy and stylist Chaise Dennis, for encouraging and supporting him to live his truth.
"I shouldn't be here," says Ronen. "Little Ronen's from the slums of Staten Island, growing up as a degenerate and fighting, doing drugs, and not going to school, we don't really get to come full circle to this sort of position."
Truth and love are what Rafael and Ronen both hope is the lingering legacy of this show, and these characters, no matter how many more seasons it stays on air. "I hope this inspires people, in the simplest way, to say, Love yourself," said Rafael.
When you think back over the last four years, and see the growth of Tarlos as a couple, and TK and Carlos as individuals, has there been anything that has truly surprised you?
Ronen: Not surprised, but I am most proud of their communication skills! We've seen the evolution of these two, and what were terrible communication skills!
I mean, Carlos made TK a beautiful dinner and then he stormed out like a little bitch! But it's all thanks to the writers; the fact that they were able to connect all the moments up to this level of communication which we saw in episode 16, when Carlos says, "Even if you don't remember who I am, I will stay in this, and love you and stay with you and support you and I'll introduce myself, 'Hi, you're TK and I'm Carlos and we're soulmates.'"
How have TK and Carlos changed you as actors?
Ronen: I don't even know where I would start. It's changed me as a person but as an actor it definitely has taught me speed and efficiency. After Lone Star, I'll be ready for any sort of set in any sort of situation. We're on this massive production, but sometimes it still feels like you're in an independent film when you get a script the day before.
This show has also given me the opportunity to provide a life for myself, and my wife, that I didn't necessarily have growing up.
I shouldn't be here. Little Ronen's from the slums of Staten Island, growing up as a degenerate and fighting, doing drugs, not going to school, we don't really get to come full circle to this sort of position. It's a blessing.
Rafael: I wanted to go to grad school before I booked Lone Star, but God has a way of showing you that life is your school. When I booked Lone Star, I felt so inadequate but now I realize it's healthy to have some doubt — and I love the fact that I talk about this now without any sense of feeling like an impostor, because if we don't talk about these things, we dehumanize these very human experiences.
Carlos has allowed me to learn a lot just simply by watching, listening and playing. I'm extremely grateful that it has changed me as a professional, and also the way I see myself, and the kinds of stories I want to tell. Now I say, 'Know why you're doing something and don't be shy to be yourself, go for the truth,' and I think that's something that this show has truly required of Rafael.
What would you say to 2018 Rafael who cried in the bathroom after his audition?
Rafael: Do exactly what you did and be exactly who you were. It's OK to feel all of those feelings — like you don't belong here because that is what you were being told, but you had to be that person in that moment in order to be this person here today I don't think there's such a thing as a coincidence.
Jim Parrack (who plays Judd Ryder) says, "Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous," and for me it's a sense of trusting life and the work — and when I speak of this, it comes from a place of humility and not necessarily any attachment to religious indoctrination that is going on today to put others down.
I want to make that very clear, that it comes from my relationship with God, [and] a world where everyone belongs, everyone has a place, everyone has a voice and no one needs to close themselves off or hide.
Ronen, what has it been like building your relationship with Rob Lowe?
Ronen: I walked into the audition room for our chemistry read, Rob went to shake my hand and he looked me right into the eyes and he said, "Yep, that's it." We had a spark from the moment we met, but when Rob's on set, there is no time to mess around, everybody brings their highest game, and that's also why I love our father-son scenes so much.
We're very lucky we get given really special storylines; from the moment we meet those two, the bond is so strong and it's just been a beautiful place to build from - and now he's my best man at the wedding.
Does the pressure of the meaning of 'Tarlos' to so many, and what it has become outside of the show, get to you?
Ronen: No, I don't let it get to me. I feel like a lot of pressure is self-made; I don't know if this is just the way I was raised but I am able to compartmentalize really well. I stick to the root of things:the character, the story.
I do appreciate seeing what the fans think and and feel, and this actor-fan relationship is becoming really beautifully interwoven, especially when you get to meet the fans, but I'm able to separate the two. The core of everything is always the work, because if these characters aren't fully lived in and we're not giving our everything, we're not giving our heart and soul to these characters? Then I don't know if fans would necessarily connect with them as intensely.
I won't share what me and Rafa talk about, but the beauty of this whole situation is that I've been able to lean on Rafa, and Rafa has been able to lean on me through all this, because nobody knows what we're going through except for us. Fans can feel that we really care about these two guys — and we care about them maybe more than anyone because it literally is on our shoulders.
But I'm just very lucky to be on this journey with Rafa, because this could be really stressful if you're working with someone that you don't get along with ,or vibe with, on a professional level.
Rafael: As soon as you start making it about you because you were listening to people's opinions, or the critics… As an actor I need to stay focused because at the end of the day, the reason why Carlos and TK get so much attention is because the focus has always been on the character.
In theater, it's always about making it about the other person. When you're doing a scene, always make it about the other person, and that's the work that as actors we need to do with our characters, make it about the character. Forget the noise.
What do you hope the legacy of Tarlos is?
Rafael: I hope it inspires people, in the simplest way, to say, Love yourself.
We had these two broken characters that reacted very differently to their brokenness. One of them abused substances, the other one isolated himself, and both were responses to trauma. When you neglect who you are it's because that's what you were shown from your closest people, so we had two broken characters who came together because I think they were both yearning for a deep connection, not only with each other but with themselves.
I can only hope these two characters and their love can inspire you to, if not completely love and believe in yourself, but to start that conversation with yourself.
darrencriss: Happy 90th bday, Carol! Paying tribute to your extraordinary career for tonight’s TV special alongside so many incredible people was an honor and inspiration, as well as one of the coolest things I’ve ever been able to take part in. You are, indisputably, G.O.A.T. status!
Meanwhile, I did my damnedest to maintain the integrity of Sondheim’s original scansion and rhyme scheme for “Side By Side…” in a little duet number I rewrote for Carol entitled “Burnett’s Duets” that I got to perform with the great @ suttonlenore .
… Like I said- one of the COOLEST things. Check it out tonight, Wednesday 8/7c on NBC and streaming on Peacock!
