the way oliver and tim talk about this season is so funny. you’re telling me oliver just decided he was going to be bisexual season and tim wasn’t thinking about it until he needed to bring in someone else bc arielle was unavailable for the air rescue so he called up lou and said hey do you want to come back on the show. also im gonna make one of those bitches gay i think what do you think about that? and lou was like hell yeah brother and then tim was like oh shit but eddie’s with what’s her name (marisol) so he can’t be gay yet. and then oliver walked by tim’s office a few times holding a bi pride flag and tim said oh shit. buck can be bi. lou do you want to make out with oliver and lou said no. i will kiss him tenderly and sweetly though. and tim said. we can work with that.
once buck comes out and settles into a relationship with tommy i’m sure they’re inevitably going to hang out with eddie at some point and i’m lowkey curious about which one of them will feel like the third wheel because somehow all three of them fit the bill for that
I’m not much of a writer but these prompts were really speaking to me. So I figured I’d share the draft of what I had written for today. Thank you @chenford-prompts
This takes place in the in the days right after Tim leaves their date night in 6x05

I’m Sinking and You’re The Reason
She's sinking further into her bed at night. Further into her thoughts. “He’ll be home in the morning,” she thinks to herself. “There’s nothing to worry about. Whatever it is, he’ll loop me in on it in the morning.”
Her phone is still in her hand and she brings it back up to her face to check the time. She hardly got any sleep worrying herself to tears. Not since he suddenly ran out. 12 hours have passed, and there is no sign of him. She can’t bring herself to get up of her bed.
She calls his cell and it goes straight to voicemail. That crushing feeling in her chest returned. Is he okay? Where is he?
It’s like she’s chained down to this bed with worry. With dread. It wraps around her wrists and ankles. Getting heavier and heavier. She knows she couldn’t keep checking her phone and it gets harder as the weights of worry make it heavier to lift her hand up.
If Jackson were here, he would’ve dragged her up and out of bed already. They would be on the couch watching crappy television or going on another one of his ridiculously long runs. He’s not here though. No one is. There’s no one here to help lift these weights.
“I’m sinking further into my bed, further away from my life. I’m sinking and you’re the reason.”

please be kind to me. I’d like to revisit this and flesh it out some more but it was painful enough to write. Cathartic though because I am Really Going Through it IRL

Two words. Seven letters. And the first thing Tim has thought every morning for the past week and a half.
Some days, it doesn’t feel like he is. Every day, it feels like he shouldn’t be.
He wakes up alone, in his bed, in a house that’s only his own. He lays there, in plain white sheets, beneath a navy duvet, and wonders why any of it matters.
And every morning, without fail, he reaches for his phone and texts Lucy.
I’m alive.
It’s the only thing he can bring himself to do, most days. He eats cereal for breakfast, even though he has bacon and eggs. He feeds Kojo and walks him far enough to use the bathroom, but gone are the long walks through the neighborhood. When Kojo brings him a chew toy, Tim tosses it across the room, but he doesn’t watch to see if the dog chases after it.
He showers, because he showers every morning. But most days, he stands underneath the spray and asks himself why he bothers with it. It’s not like he’s moving around that much, or seeing anyone who would notice.
Or seeing anyone at all.
He’s sequestered himself, his own personal house arrest, a punishment of his own design. It’s not enough, it doesn’t make up for anything he’s done, for the mess he’s made of his life.
He doesn’t recognize the man in the mirror anymore.
Sometimes, we too wish to disappear from the Earth by hiding behind the moon.
The Sun played peek-a-boo with parts of North America last week, to the delight of everyone who got to see it. The long-awaited TV adaptation of Fallout is finally here, and fans are giving it a resounding "okey-dokey!" We finally got a trailer for the third season of Bridgerton, and Polin shippers can barely contain their excitement. It was a big week for folks who enjoy watching other people play D&D. Finally, April 13th came and went, drawing out the annual love for Homestuck and a talented little friend named Neil. This is Tumblr's Week in Review.
THE ROOKIE SEASON 7 IS FINALLY ANNOUNCED. IT'S OFFICIAL.
let's go mets! talkin bout the mets baby! lets go mets love the mets!
> now that they've been confirmed coming back, i can go back to being mad at the writers until they've redeemed themselves for this arc
SEASON 7 MEANS A FULL SEASON OF CHENFORD. MORE DOMESTIC SCENES, MORE KISSING, MORE CUDDLING (IN BED I HOPE). FINALLY MOVING IN TOGETHER! MORE I LOVE YOUs. MORE FAMILY MOMENTS WITH TAMARA AND KOJO. EVEN MORE CHENFORD. I CAN'T WAIT. 🥹🥹😍
Maddie only slightly hesitating about Buck's slip of a pronoun.
Eddie being shocked that Tommy is gay but apparently not at all shocked that Buck likes dudes.
Buck asking Tommy to be his date to the wedding. Which means his whole found family and actual family will know he's dating a guy. Does Buck realize HIS PARENTS ARE GONNA BE THERE????
you are so fucking real. cant wait to watch you go through the whole journey I JUST WENT THROUGH over the last month 😭😭IM JUST starting the season 6 finale now.
brothers in war. godspeed.
season 3 (and every season after) is such a doozy . I had so many emotions all the time. I'm pretty sure up until season 5, I didn't go a single episode without crying.
i have been watching the stupid mid firefighter show and i’m so angry because they fucking invented love. they’re both so fucking stupid and damaged and they want to jump each other’s bones from the moment they meet and they do an enemies to repressed hopeless pining within a single fucking episode and they have a son. the guy who’s the son’s biological father is like well gee not sure i want his actual mum around but this confused puppy of a guy? yes. i need him to look after my son. no i’m not gay i just need to stare into my good friend’s eyes for a bit. no homo. we have friends who are lesbians. and meanwhile the bisexual one who isn’t even gonna kiss a guy for another five seasons is perfecting the fine art of Yearning. every episode starts and ends with the most saccharine voice-over you’ve heard in your life and i can only assume that every second in between when these guys aren’t on screen they’re pining-while-fucking in the locker room. the emergencies they attend to are pulled directly from sensationalist warnings reposted uncritically by boomers on facebook. i’ve barely started season three. i’m so angry.
