We’re gonna hear husband. Hubby?? Sweetheart? Darling?? Sweetie pie honey bun??

I can definitely hear “hey husband!” coming out of tk’s mouth. If I get a sweetheart, especially from Carlos, y’all are going to just remember me fondly became I will simply stop living

Hi HappilyLovingChaos!! Happy Nice Ass(k) Week!!!

Do you have a nickname you like to be called on here? Can we call you Happy? 😃

How long have you been watching Lone Star and what brought you to the tumblr fandom?

Thanks!, 🍋

Hello Lemon 😃

I haven’t thought of a nickname for myself yet, and I got this username at random when I first created my account. IRL I don’t think I’d call myself a chaos demon but I have been known to be impulsive, haha. But you can call me Akko. I’ve started using this nickname sometimes online.

As for the tumblr fandom, I’d been noticing fanart and analyses from people on there whenever I wanted to search online for fan content from… say, MHA, Hobbit/ LoTR (Peter Jackson ones, I’m probably one of the few people who liked the Hobbit trilogy), etc, and I’m amazed at the thoughtfulness and creativity each user put into the works they posted to the site. Wish I had all that plus punctuality back in my high school and college English classes 😮‍💨

I’ve been watching 9-1-1 OG and Lone Star for… oh, wow, it’s been kinda fast— a little under 2 years. Actually, I think I started w/ 9-1-1 OG (in season 4), then my first-ever 9-1-1 LS encounter was the tail-end of 3x07, then all of 3x08… then 3x17-3x18 (I was hooked in even w/o initial context, lol, and never thought I’d have a favorite proposal scene till then). So that was 2022. 2023 was where I finally watched an entire season of LS (the 4th one— I skipped to the end, so oops); from there, I got Hulu and binge-watched the rest of seasons 1-3.

Good to meet you online, and I really liked your Tarlos fanfics! I wonder why Nice Ass though…? (If you’re not sure either, that’s okay)

We've talked about TK liking to be held down but can we talk about Carlos tightly gripping the back of TK's neck or head? And pressing him down with his whole body?

Oh when Carlos does this I die. He’s so possessive. That boy is HIS.

#911ls asks #Tarlos

[paperstorm]

Coming into your ask box to give you the unfriendly reminder that if Carlos had died in 404, the last thing he ever would have said right before he passed out (and the last thing TK ever would have heard him say) would have been TK's name 😭

Okay wait. Wait just a goddamn second!!! I never noticed that he blearily whispers “TK” twice before he fully goes under so I was like what is this person talking about but??? I went back and watched and you’re right??? HE DOES????? 😭😭😭 it’s so clear idk why I never noticed it before and I am DEVASTATED THANK YOU

Tell me this doesn't look a teeny tiny bit like tk and carlos. Honestly a scene like that and i'll see ya'll on the other side.😮‍💨

Oh this could totally be TK and Carlos and I would absolutely utterly cease to exist if we ever got a scene like this

#911ls asks

[paperstorm]

Can you explain why the wild heart line is so meaningful? I think it's because I am not a native English speaker, but I don't fully understand what it means or why it's so important to TK that Carlos said that, but I would like to! Thank you

I think it's just the context that he, in that same speech, admitted in front of a crowd how much of his life he has spent living in/being controlled by fear. I think we've had enough showing-not-telling after four seasons that we can safely interpret that Carlos has anxiety (the revelation in season 4 that he doesn't like travelling because he gets homesick and stressed is a really good example of that), and so TK having a wild heart means TK is adventurous and fun-loving and spontaneous and that he makes Carlos feel safe just by being there with him in moments when Carlos doesn't feel as courageous as he wishes he did. Carlos calling attention to TK's wild heart is him saying "I've spent so long being afraid of so many things, but you make me brave".

#911ls asks #that's my interpretation anyway

[paperstorm]

I am returning you nice ask as I'm curious about your answers!

Do you have any frivolous lone star headcanons? (ie, something that doesn’t matter to the plot and maybe there’s no real evidence for but you believe it anyway)

Thank you, hehe. ❤️🦎

I think my favourite silly headcanon is that Tarlos are the gossip couple. They have all the dirt on everyone, especially Carlos because that sweet face and gentle demeanor and big brown eyes make people open up to him even if he isn't asking for it. And they get home at the end of the day and spill all the tea, it started with TK filling Carlos in on all the shenanigans the 126 gets up to (they lost their minds when Tommy kissed Trevor when he was her patient, TK burst through the door and was like BABE YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE) but then Carlos starts getting dirt from his own coworkers and they sit on the couch and dig into all the drama and TK knows so many juicy things about so many police officers that he's never even met.

I rewatched 1x02 recently and I realized something I'd never noticed before during *that* scene. When Carlos pushes TK onto the couch, TK immediately puts his hands above his head. Dude really wasn't shy about letting Carlos know his preferences from the beginning was he? 😂

Oh my friend. I have been obsessed to the point that it’s probably not healthy with this since the very first time I saw 2x12 and put together this difference. This is such an exquisite detail that they added, that 1x02 is either the first or one of the first times they hooked up so when TK throws his hands up, Carlos doesn’t take them because he doesn’t know. It’s new, they barely know each other; he doesn’t know what TK wants.

But then by 2x12 they live together, they are madly in love, they’ve learned each other and Carlos knows TK, knows what he wants and what he likes and what he needs, so when those hands go up Carlos immediately takes them and presses TK into the mattress.

It’s sexy obviously but it’s also such a beautifully intimate detail, because it shows how well these two have learned each other by this point. I just love it.

I will never be over Carlos just sitting there at the hospital with TK sleeping on his shoulder. Like, he isn't even looking at his phone or anything. He's just sitting there fully content. I so wish we'd gotten to see the beginning of that scene where we could see TK snuggling up to him and falling asleep

TK's head drops and then he jumps, startling himself as he nods off and then jolts back awake. Carlos watches out of the corner of his eye as TK sighs in annoyance and scrubs his hands over his face. He lightly smacks his own cheeks, trying to rouse himself.

Carlos leans into him, bumping their shoulders together.

"Why is this taking so long?" TK mutters.

"Two times I've waited by your hospital bed," Carlos points out, reaching over and taking TK's hand. He threads their fingers together and rubs his thumb in a slow arc over TK's skin. "Would you have crapped out this quick if it was me in there?"

"I'm not crapping out, I'm pissed that nobody's telling us anything." TK brings Carlos's hand up to his mouth so he can press his lips to Carlos's knuckles. "And if it was you, I would be an absolute nightmare for the nursing staff."

Carlos laughs softly. TK looks at him, his lips curving into a small smile. "Yeah, I don't doubt it."

There are purple circles developing underneath TK's eyes, his exhaustion showing through his pale skin. He always puts everyone on earth before himself, especially his friends, and it's something Carlos loves about him so much but he also loves when TK slows down and lets himself be taken care of.

"Close your eyes for a bit. I'll wake you up if a doctor comes to talk to us."

"I'm okay," TK argues.

Instead of answering, Carlos crosses his free hand over his body and taps with two fingers on his right shoulder.

TK licks his lips and smiles again. He tilts his chin forward, asking for a kiss that Carlos gives to him. Their mouths press together, soft and chaste but meaningful; TK humming quietly into it. He wraps his other arm around Carlos's bicep and slouches down in his chair, resting his head on Carlos's shoulder.

Carlos kisses his hair, and then looks across the waiting room into Grace's smiling face as TK makes himself comfortable.

What if Carlos was with TK's team when he plunged into the water in S3? I hope someone can write something about it. Will sacrifice my first child for it.

I don't know if there are any fics like that, can anything think of any??

[paperstorm]

Talking of the breakup, I was just watching the first episode of season 3 and noticed how sad TK looks when he turns from the girls and sits on the rig he looks so tiny and sad with that cookie

Okay how dare you because I had never noticed this but LOOK HOW SAD HE IS 😭😭 he’s trying so hard to pretend he’s fine but he’s so sad 😞

#911ls asks

[paperstorm]

Please say more about your hc of Carlos getting soft when he wants to bottom because he's telling TK he wants to be taken care of and I am having thoughts, because it's now living in my head rent free

Oh I can't take credit for coming up with this one it is from the genius mind of @goodways so Shannon pls chime in but I love it so much I fully hc it too now. Carlos isn't the best with words or with asking for what he wants especially if it's kind of a vulnerable thing so he just. While he's waiting for TK to get home from work he has a nice long shower, uses all of TK's bougie products so his skin is all soft and he smells like eucalyptus and lavender. puts on soft sweats and a loose tshirt, lets his curls just do their thing. Walks around the loft in just socks, keeps the lights low and the music gentle. Makes them something simple and comforting for dinner. He's curled up with a book in the corner of the sectional when TK comes through the door and he smiles at him, and TK can instantly tell from the vibe what Carlos is asking for. Kicks his own shoes off and jacket and drops down onto the couch next to his man. Gives him a soft 'Hi baby' and an even softer kiss, running fingers through his hair that's all fluffy and silky. Brushes Carlos's cheek and asks, "Want me to pamper you a little bit?" and Carlos nods. TK pulls Carlos into his lap and Carlos is just small and so so so loved I just!!! Cannot.

Carlos definitely told TK to hop on and TK hold on like a baby koala and Carlos carried him to bed and sat against the headboard with TK wrapped around him with his face buried in Carlos’ neck and just breathing each other and letting their scent mingle after that I believe Carlos helped TK bathe just like he said and they fell asleep holding hand with their foreheads touching

"I'm getting snot on your shirt," TK mumbles.

"It needed to be washed anyway," Carlos replies. He rubs TK's back slowly, palm sliding methodically up and down over the soft cotton of his hoodie.

TK sniffs, and Carlos tightens his arms around him. He's scared, too. It's an atomic bomb of bad news, and he's had far less time to process it than TK has. The idea of losing him has always terrified Carlos, no matter how it might happen, but this way seems particularly awful. Carlos isn't going to lie to TK and say he isn't scared. But they will tackle it together, like they'll tackle everything for the rest of their lives. Of that, Carlos is sure.

"I love you so much," he whispers.

TK makes a soft, hurt noise and buries his face more completely into Carlos's neck, tears leaving his skin damp.

"I love you, too," TK whispers back. "I didn't mean it. What I said before. Please don't leave me."

"Never," Carlos promises him. "Never ever, baby. You're mine."

TK nods.

Carlos kisses his cheek, leaning out of the hug so he can see TK's face. It's still red and swollen, streaked with tears, his eyes pink-rimmed and sad. Carlos takes his cheeks into his hands, using his thumbs to wipe some of the moisture away.

"Let's have a shower," Carlos suggests, because he can't let them sit here marinating in fear and heartbreak any longer. He's never been good at being still, he has to do something. "I'm all gross from work."

"You're not gross, you're perfect," TK argues, and for just a moment that makes him cry harder.

"Hey," Carlos murmurs to him, ducking down and not letting TK look away from him. He tracks his eyes, smiling at him when TK's gaze meets his.

"What?" TK asks.

"You are beautiful. And funny, and brave, and brilliant. You mean everything to me. Everything about you is my favorite thing. And you're all mine, okay? Forever."

TK sniffs again and nods. "Okay."

"Let's have a shower."

"You really do wanna bathe me, huh?" TK asks, finally cracking a smile through his tears.

Carlos brushes a few more tears off his cheek and then kisses his heated skin. "Yeah. I really do. You had an awful day. And then sat here for hours waiting for me. Let me take care of you."

TK nods. He stands when Carlos does, letting Carlos put an arm around his shoulders and give him a squeeze as they make their way toward the bathroom.

Carlos sits TK on the closed lid of the toilet. He starts the shower, angling the nozzle away from the door so water doesn't splash onto the tiled floor. TK blows his nose noisily, hiccupping once or twice and looking up at Carlos. He seems so small right now, the bright light of him so diminished, and Carlos likes him small sometimes, but not like this.

He unbuttons his own shirt, letting it fall off his shoulders and to the floor. When he steps closer, TK lifts his arms up like a little kid waiting to be undressed and Carlos chuckles fondly. He bends down, pushing up the hem of the maroon hoodie and getting it off over TK's head.

Carlos can't help leaning in further and pressing a kiss to TK's lips. TK hums softly into it, and stands when Carlos pulls gently at his hand. He undresses them both the rest of the way and then helps TK into the shower, taking only a moment to drink in the stunning sight of him. TK is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, and despite the heaviness of this moment, Carlos is so excited to spend the rest of his life with this man.

TK holds out a hand, reaching for him, and Carlos takes it and steps into the shower after him. He moves in close, wrapping TK back up into his arms under the warm, soothing spray.

Whatever you do don’t think about how in that sexy Fever scene they both have their shoes on. I know Rafael and Ronen explained it but still it bugs me…..

Maybe the real reason is that Carlos has a sneaker kink. By season two he knows what to do when subby TK's subby hands go up over his subby head and TK knows what really gets his man hot is if they wear Nikes to bed.

please stop with this demisexual bs about carlos… he’s a canonically GAY character and he’s been a great role model and representation for people who are actually gay in real life (including me). you’ve got a bunch of other characters (mostly straight) who you could use for a headcanon like this but pls leave carlos out of it. thank you.

Demisexuality and other variations on the grey spectrum are words used to describe ways that a person experiences their sexuality. They are not exclusive to heterosexual people. I personally know people who are gay and demi or gay and aromantic. None of these categories are rigid boxes that do not allow for any flexibility or crossover. The world is shitty enough without us policing each other within the community or deciding who is and isnt queer enough.

Aphobia will not have a place on this blog. Thank you.
