love that henry blake is genuinely just a normal guy . weirdest thing about him is that he’s obsessed with fishing and that isn’t even remotely as bizarre as anything hawkeye and trapper got going on at any given moment . he’s just some guy from illinois in a camp of people who are bonkers and he’s so fucking funny for it
LISTEN. If we get a bisexual!Buck arc, I will ACTUALLY LITERALLY CRY, I’m already emotional just thinking about it, it will literally bring me so much joy
BUT
I don’t want it at the expense of an Eddie coming out arc…
Bc listen, I read a post talking abt how the writers probably won’t give both of them a really flushed out Queer Realization Arc bc it would be redundant, which like, okay sure, yes, I can see why you wouldn’t want to have two main, male characters going through the exact same thing, so sure, whatever, BUT -
I feel like, out of Buddie, Eddie is going to be the one that really struggles with coming to terms with his sexuality.
Eddie, who had to be The Man Of The House at 10 years old. Eddie, who grew up in the Deep South. Eddie, whose family is Catholic. Eddie, who already had a strained relationship with his judgmental parents. Eddie, who had a WIFE. Eddie, who says that what he had with Shannon was magic & compares every relationship he had to her. Eddie, who was in the military, which is infamous for DADT. Eddie, whose aunt constantly pushes him at random women because he needs to not be alone. Eddie, who canonically suffers from comp-het, saying that dating women feels like putting on a performance, not that he understands why. Eddie, who dated Ana & was planning on staying with her, even though he was unhappy, for his son.
I think Buck would be way chiller with realizing he’s queer - if he doesn’t already know, which is my fav head-cannon - & I feel like he wouldn’t struggle as much bc it’s Eddie, & Eddie is his best friend, and gender wouldn’t play as big a part for him as I think it would for Eddie.
I would love for them both to have an arc where they worked through their expectations when it comes to relationships & realize that they’re queer, but idk man, I feel like Eddie is going to be the one to really struggle & he deserves to really have that flushed out.
Idk, I’ve been thinking about this ever since I saw that post & nobody I know watches 9-1-1 😭
He just can’t catch a break can he. I’m still not over the musical so here’s the process work and some thoughts:
I would like say that I don’t personally ship them because of the obvious age gap and Beej is clearly interested in the Mainland’s. In my view, their friendship seems to be very codependent and may even be characterized by elements of emotional abuse by both characters. However, as an artist, I love to explore complex dynamics and relationships in my work;
In my mind musical Lydia is very much so more in control of the situation than Bj is and uses that to her advantage so I played on that.
Initially, I imagined Lydia consoling him during “Say my Name” However, that portrayal felt out of character for Lydia. From there the piece became more: aggressive Lydia is getting shit done even if she has to manipulate a literal demon, and softboy Beej needs a hug.
(That all being said they are fictional characters and as long as you’re not being a creepy old guy yourself you ship what you want. I’m not here to judge you, I just wanted to make art without hate comments discouraging me)
Ive polished up dialogue and framing, in total there should be 30 panels, exactly the tumblr image limit haha! Everyone who is participating gets to draw a panel! I will message you the dialogue, and a general layout once I get everyone in! :) I look forward to this!
30/30 Participants [full!]
If you are interested in joining, please message me here on tumblr or Discord! [Discord would be preferred in the long run]
--------
-> Deadline for panels?
2 Weeks! Hoping everything can be ready to go to post by September 24th!
---
-> What style to use?
Your own! I would love it if you can have as much fun as you can making the panel! The more unique each panel is the better, I dont want to constrict anyones artistic ability outside dialogue, where characters are in a room, and a vague framing idea/expressions.
As for coloring, fully colored and digital would be preferred! Just blue blobs can also work! With the exception of 4 specific panels, flashback panels, in a black/white/red scheme to help differentiate what panel is a flashback, and what panel isnt. I will let you know if your panel is one of those specific 4!
---
-> How will posting and crediting work?
When the panels are all done, I will gather them up into a singular post on this blog. Below the comic itself in order of panels would be everyones @ to the blog they want credited, Multiple blogs can also be credited ofc (For example If you drew panel 3 you will be the third @ on the list)
You are also free to add a signature or @ to your blog in the panel art itself!
Listen I love a good wholesome triforce trio but the versions in which they're on the same side because of special circumstances (all of them are mad at the same person) and Gan is exactly himself just on the other team are my favorites
profs will set the due date for the final as april 24 and then STILL NOT HAVE THE FUCKING ASSIGNMENT UP TO SUBMIT THE PAPER BY 11PM ON APRIL TWENTY FUCKING THIRD
POV: You’re me and School’s been really kicking you IN THE ASS-
I haven’t been on Tumblr for almost 2 days what happened?
And I’m really sorry I haven’t been posting on here much- I think my work is starting to ramp up because it’s semester 2. It sucks ass cuz I have homework almost every day 💀
AND GUESS WHAT?? I HAVE TO WORK ON A PROJECT ANYWAYS THIS WEEKEND. WHAT TYPE OF SHIT IS THIS???
the part where kiyoko is running to get hinata's shoes and leaves yachi alone to take care of the tsubakihara match is so monumental to me because it was a passing of the torch at nationals when it was kiyoko's first time at nationals, too!! from the very beginning, she had always wanted to fly with the rest of them!! she had every right to be the one standing with the team during that first game!! but she doesn't!! kiyoko leaves knowing that she'll barely just make it back in time!! she leaves knowing that she'll have to let yachi to fend for herself!! she leaves knowing that she won't be able to stand with the people she loves, that she won't be able to support them and care for them the way she has for the past three years so that they could make it where they are now, and asks yachi to take it up in her stead!! and she's okay with that!! because kiyoko knows, just as much as anyone else, that if they want to win, they have to do what's needed to rise up to the challenge!! even if they're defeated the very next day, even if it suddenly comes to an end, all that matters to kiyoko is that she and everyone else are able to fight until they absolutely can't anymore!! and she will do everything in her power to make that happen!!
tl;dr this is my appreciation post for shimizu kiyoko who deserves everything ever thank you and good night
I was tagged by @fortheloveofbuddie @captain-hen @daffi-990 @steadfastsaturnsrings thank you <3
Imma be honest, I'm tired of vague posting about this fic lol, I thought I was about to be done but then Buck asked a question and now I don't know anymore, so have more of what I've been calling the "let's deal with Death and Taxes fic I've been stopping myself from writing since May" prev snippet
“I don't get to ask you to base your decisions on what's best for me, we're-” Eddie wants to say friends, but the word gets caught in his throat. They've been past friends for years now.
“We're?”
“It's your life, you should do what you think it's best and I don't get an opinion,” Eddie shrugs, ignoring the way Buck is looking expectantly at him.
“I want your opinion.”
“No, you don't.”
“Of course I do.”
“You ran the other way, Buck,” he says, motioning vaguely around, and Buck's expression drops.
“You agreed.”
“I was giving you what you wanted. What I was doing wasn't helping, so what the hell was I supposed to do?”
“I never said you weren't helping,” Buck mumbles, blinking at him as his eyes start to water.
“Well, it sure as hell was what it sounded like!” Eddie exclaims, sounding angrier than he feels, and Buck opens his mouth as if to say something, before closing it again and dropping his head.
