“You make me feel like I’m going nuts.” Eddie mumbles and reaches for the NyQuil. It was barely seven pm, but he was ready to curl into bed for the next twenty hours or so.
“You need to be eighteen to buy NyQuil.” Buck continues, his smile still not fading.
“Mmm,” Eddie mumbles as he pours the liquid into the small measuring cup. He goes a little over the line, hoping it will work in his favor and he’ll be put out of his misery sooner rather than later.
“And I forgot my wallet.”
Eddie hums and nods at Buck as he downs the NyQuil, scrunching up his face and gagging as if he just took a shot of cheap tequila. “Buck, did you rob a CVS?”
“What? Oh. No. No no, I had Apple Pay!” He assures him. “But the lady didn’t believe I was over eighteen”
Eddie looks Buck up and down once, twice, three times before meeting their eyes. “Ha. Haaaaa.” He laughs sarcastically and leans his body over the counter.
“No, Eddie. I’m serious. They really wouldn’t let me get it without an ID!” Buck was persistent. Eddie would give him that. “So I- I just searched my pockets, looking for something, anything.”
“And you pulled out my badge..” Eddie begins.
“And you need to be over eighteen to be a Firefighter!” Buck nods excitedly, a little too proud of himself. “You, Eddie Diaz, are looking at Eddie Diaz of the 118!” And - that’s why Buck was grinning like an idiot.

A little bit of hope for Jonathan...
Only for it to be burned in the flames
Love the way Dracula is drawn, like he's enjoying himself

Was rewatching bits and bobs of the last episode (again) and thinking about Ashton in that conversation with Laudna and how I think it shows that more than just being afraid of caring, they're afraid of being understood.
There’s this thing that happens sometimes when you’re lonely and in pain and closed off where you start to come up for reasons why your pain is unique. It’s not like, a morally bad thing, but it is a trick you can play on yourself, thinking that since no one has all your exact same experiences, there’s no way anyone can get you. It’s a way of giving more meaning to your loneliness, you know? It’s special. And it’s another layer of crunchy shell to protect yourself - if you think it’s not possible for people to understand you, it hurts less to not be understood. Ostensibly. Which means accepting that your trauma, and what you know as a result of it, isn’t wholly inscrutable to others, means letting another layer of your guard down. Of acknowledging that hey, that loneliness and jealousy and hurt don’t have to be the way you live. You can be understood if you let people in. You just have to be vulnerable. Isn’t that terrifying?
Their speech here is riddled with caveats. They’re the only one who knows what it's like to not have a past - well, except for one (FCG). They know the truth of people none of the others do - well, except for one (and I think this means Imogen, since she hears the worst of peoples’ thoughts). They know loneliness none of them know - except you know things Laudna, too, don’t think they don’t know that. I’m not surprised he was having arguments with people who weren’t there at the end of the episode - even as he made his speech, he was letting a bit of argument with himself seep in.
What’s worse, each of those people have dealt with that shared understanding in a different way than Ashton. FCG doesn’t know their past, but that drives them to look for purpose, rather than a low impact life. Imogen has seen into peoples’ heads and knows the worst of them, but she still thinks “good people” exist, enough to be fretting over it constantly (don’t think I didn’t notice that that’s the first things that sets Ashton off, her asking if the gods are good “There’s no such thing, everyone is fuckign selfish-”). And Laudna has known a kind of loneliness that is truly unfathomable - but she’s secure now in the comfort and knowledge that she has her people. Which means that Ashton could start looking at their own shit in different ways. They could make a choice to let people in or see the good in ways they haven’t, and that’s some scary ass shit. I think there’s been a bit of a panicky, manic edge to the kindnesses Ashton has been displaying since they got Laudna back. I think they’re white knuckling their way through caring about the Hells and they are freaked the fuck OUT.
So I think Ashton was being an asshole by telling Laudna she didn’t know loneliness. I think even as he half-believed it as a holdover from that “I am wholly unique and uniquely alone” coping mechanism, he knew it was an absurd thing to say. But I think they did it on purpose. I think they are so terrified by how much they care about the Hells, and what’s more how much they understand and can be understood by them, that they wanted to push her into not caring by writing them off as a jerk. But Laudna’s more emotionally savvy than that. She won’t let him get away with it, even as she gets rightly angry at his downplaying her own experience in the moment. She knows they care, and she’s not going to let them push that away. They’re just going to have to deal with the fact that they’re a softy underneath it all. They’ve been given possibly the last push they need.
I would be 0% surprised if they finish arguing with themself about this by the next episode and their lil project Tal mentioned ends up being like. Fucking. Matching team patches for the Hells. Because they are all in now.

MOISE SHARAF || REUBEN DE LA ROSA || TERESA DE LA ROSA
haven't talked a lot about reuben anymore lately but here's my little boy and his parents :^) reuben was taken in by maelstrom at a young age after an incident at his father's workplace and he loses contact with his parents for years; he's led to believe they wanted him gone and then told they're dead, while his parents also assume he's dead too :( but eventually things get resolved and after reuben leaves maelstrom for good he manages to track down his parents and reunite with them :D

Not to drag it out nor victim blame, but this whole thing is not your fault. People respond to stupid replies. That's how Tumblr is. That person went out of her way to misinterpret what you said. The transphobia that came afterward sucked, but it's completely out of your control. It's not fascism when you're getting called out for being obtuse 🤷♀️🤷♀️
No I know and I should have expected that my post would be interpreted as ableism since what I was TRYING to get at is the phenomenon of people cheapening a real issue by pulling it as a card where it doesn't actually apply. But of course since I didn't spell that out,
