“No, nu-huh, no way!”

Chimney scoffs, loud and bright, as he defends his point.

“Absolutely, Henrietta.”

“No way, Howard,” Hen fights back, laughing so hard she can hardly sip at the beer in the bottle she’s holding. “Eva was way worse than Tatiana.”

“In what universe?!”

Ravi leans over to Eddie, sipping on an IPA, whispering frantically, “Am I supposed to know who either of those people are?”

or: Buck and Eddie talk about their exes

look at the AWESOME fic minalover wrote to go with my vid! this was such a fun collab this year, thank you!!

mythmagicetc:

buck is clingy and needy and terrified of abandonment but so many of his greatest acts of love keep him and eddie apart. keeping chris safe during the tsunami, taking care of chris after the shooting instead of being with eddie in the hospital, agreeing without question to take care of chris if eddie died, moving into eddie’s house so eddie could move to texas. even when eddie breaks down in season five, he wakes up and buck is gone, taking chris to school so eddie can sleep. buck barely touches eddie, ever, even after seven years. it’s like he’s been loving eddie from outside the glass doors this whole time.

My gift for @hollyandvice for the @911fanworksfestival 2025!

They asked for something unique and buddie so I hope this fits the criteria for something unique!

This is a pair of cushions I designed and made (digitally printed onto upholstery velvet) - one for Buck (on the right) and one for Eddie (on the left) with their name in the 911 font at the bottom

Complete with a buddie line drawing on the back.

Each stripe on the front side of each cushion represents each costume they wear through s2-4. The navy blue stripes are mostly representing their uniform and most of the yellow stripes are their scenes in turnouts. (Obviously occasionally they wear navy or yellow out of work!)

I would’ve done all seasons, but the cushions were getting a bit on the large size to keep going (these are 40x70cm!) especially with Buck who has a truly insane number of costumes (he’s second only to Athena on the total number of costumes front!) especially compared with Eddie and seasons 2-4!

I hope you like them and think they’re fun - I had a blast designing and making them and getting to do something a bit different with all my costume data!

LOOK AT THE COOL THING FRIEND MADE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!

What’s the process if you’re a superhero and you come out as trans

Do you tell your villains?

Do you keep it a secret so no one can connect Spider-Man with your secret identity for a while? Or do you pop a pronouns pin on your costume and the next time you web up Doctor Octopus and he goes “I’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME SPIDER-MAN” you go “Spider-Girl actually! I’ve been figuring out some shit”

“Listen for Christ’s sake we’re a modern paper. Parker - Parker get in here - this is Madeline Parker, came out three months ago. Best photographer we’ve got. We’re proud to have her on board. We at the Daily Bugle are proud to support the LGBTQ+ community bUT THIS SPIDER-GIRL IS A MENACE”

Overwhelming consensus on this post is that you should come out in your superhero identity first, and then a couple weeks down the line come out in your secret identity and when people ask just go “Oh seeing Spider-Girl come out really gave me the confidence to come out myself” which is the best possible answer

The point of fiction is actually to put that guy in a situation™️, and he might try to tell you the point is to then get him out of the situation, WRONG, second situation

One of my writing teachers in community college told me that the first step of writing fiction was to run a character up a tree, and the second step was to throw rocks at him. Words to live by

I’m really tired of seeing people broken up into labels of absolutes.

People are not just “good” or “bad”.

People are not a list of labels. 

People are complex, situations are complex.

I know, that makes it a lot harder when you want to just write off everything someone’s ever done as bad – but that’s not how people actually are, and it would do everyone good to stop pretending they are.

I am tired of hearing about the fear people have in putting themselves out there. And it is a scary thing! Putting yourself out there means subjecting yourself to people who want a really good reason to tear you down, who will jump at the first chance to feel “good” by labeling someone else as “bad”.

I reject this. I reject the idea that there should be fear in speaking up and talking about experiences and trying to reach an understanding of a situation.

I’m unhappy to see people spitefully urging others to cut off ties with their friends under the guise of “well, that person’s just inherently bad, so if you talk to them you’re bad too.” That is fucked up. You definitely have the right to let the friend know you don’t want to hear about whoever troubles you, but you do not at all have the right to decide who their friends should be. This includes guilt trips.

Anyway, just try to be more aware of others. Everyone else is a person like you. They might not have the same experiences as you. They might not understand how their words are harmful, or how what they’re doing is wrong. They certainly won’t if you never tell them.

Most people are trying to be good, but they’re going to mess it up sometimes. Try to keep that in mind. Even when people do really fucked up shit, sometimes they are trying to do good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” and all that.

Nothing gets solved, no growth happens when you put people into a box from which you’ll never let them escape.

Yes, you absolutely must be careful about people who have tendencies and patterns that are harmful to you. Sometimes people try to overcome those patterns and they fail, and you have to distance yourself from them: that is the sad reality of life. Sometimes though, they can overcome it. But they certainly won’t if the first thing you do is write them off after a fuck up. 

Be sincere. Use your best judgment.
