Watching s5 ep15 and I'm reminded Bobby is a 4th generation legacy firefighter. That he says he had no choice because he was a boy and that was what they do.
He's a man who is everchanging and always healing, who's accepted his life for what it is. Though he truly knows no other way of life.
I wonder what his family, full of first responder men, think of him as an alcoholic or responsible for the death of so many people? Not only this but he was raised catholic. There's a sort of literal complex of god and saving lives and trauma and sins.
There's so much to be explored. Did the men all cope with first responder life with alcohol? Wat kind of emotional complexes did Bobby have to unlearn to be the emotionally intelligent man he is today?
I can't wait to see if this is explored in this week's episode.

Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

This is probably a hot take but I don't think anybody actually cares who Batman is outside of the GCPD and conspiracy theorists.
When Batman first shows up he's a friggen poltergeist. He's a cryptid. For a second there maybe people thought he was just a creepypasta.
Then when people start to think… actually it kinda seems like he's a guy…? Like, he's a real…? Person…???
Then the GCPD is like, 'Okay, well, then he's breaking laws.'
But your average schmo is like, 'And? Yeah he's a guy; he gave me fifty bucks to get home last night. Right after he saved me from an acid piranha pit.'
But the thing is, Bats has his own personality. He's a whole person as the mask. People don't ask who Superman's secret identity is because, as far as they're concerned, Superman is just Superman, and when they can't see him, it's because he went home. It would be the same with Batman. They probably think he sleeps or hangs upside-down all day.
I think Gothamites like him as Just Batman; he's the city's pet monster, and they like it that way.
I think we get super caught up in the, "Batman's secret identity might be revealed! 😱" because Batman's secret identity is famous. But if someone unmasked Clark or Barry or Hal it would be like
"…I have no idea who this is."
And they expect the same of Batman.
GCPD wants to know so they can arrest him, conspiracy theorists want to know because they wanna know where he fits into the machine, gossip columnists want to know so they can get catch some drama, and real-person fanfic authors wanna know so they can accurately describe him when he takes his mask off to kiss Bruce Wayne.

Do you think Buddie would role play (like bathena in that one ep or them pretending to be strangers that meet at a bar)?
asdfjsdfjhgrhahiergl i love the idea of them pretending to be strangers that meet at a bar because they would be SO BAD at it. They'd have to keep reminding each other "no, Eddie you don't know my favorite beer, we're strangers remember" and Eddie's just like "oh right sorry" and Buck would accidentally mention Christopher during the conversation and Eddie would be like "no way, my son's name is christopher 😁😁😁" and buck is just like 😶 and then eventually eddie would just take the whole exercise as an excuse to wax poetic to buck ABOUT buck like "yeah my kid's fourteen and his favorite person in the world is my best friend buck. oh who's buck? he's just my partner at work slash the love of my life and he saved my life once and also did you know he helped me build an adaptive skateboard for kid? yeah i trust him with my life and also my son's life and also my heart. one time we dressed up like Tubbs and Crockett from Miami vice and got wasted with a bunch of drag queens. i love him so much" and buck is just sitting there blushing like CRAZY and is like eddie i don't think you understood the assignment here and eddie like leans into him and pays the bill all suavely and is like im pretty sure i did, because ill bet you wanna take me home and fuck me senseless now, don't you?
and buck actually cannot argue with that at all

AU where Technoblade is a superhero who cant die and he himself as like. Basically an immortal, (he’s been around a while and Just rejoined society) is used to this like yeah hes been stabbed before he walked that off, surely he can do a hero thing now— but he tends to freak out his fellow heroes with the whole “yeahhhh im about to die from blood loss brb this will take a second” before then falling over and getting back up within like a couple seconds, body fully healed

this, but also when you parallel it to the call that was part of the focus of the episode. yes, it paralleled maddie and was symbolically important to maddie's story as a survivor... but what happens when we put it next to eddie's potential storyline? his current mental state and desperation? his drive to replace shannon to restore his family?
but also the entire idea of a man going out of his way to follow a woman at her job and then asking her out, even though he has a girlfriend, because she looks like his dead (ex) wife is a horror movie

These are the best ways for a show to confirm their character is cannonically queer:
Coming out to a loved one
A spontaneous romantic moment
Put the actor on family feud
Put the actor on family feud.
Put the actor on...

not a fan of cheating arcs just for the sake of the drama (e.g. Hen, Buck) but I have to say that this does make sense with Eddie’s trauma & current hamster-wheel-behaviors; I think it could be a good way to finally move him forward in a messy, real-consequences way that hits harder than just seeing Shannon’s ghost/dream self
