#but obviously that's all spec

[usereddie]

bachelor crossover ep a girl stole a rose from someone else and a full on brawl spiraled out from there so the 118 gets called to the scene and as they’re leaving buck picks up the rose from the floor and twirls it around and when he looks up from the flower eddie is there laughing at a joke someone makes that buck can’t make out (whether from being too far from the noise or from the blood rushing loudly in his ears he’s not sure) and he swallows thickly as he tosses the rose back onto the ground

So, that shot of Chim talking to Eddie. I'm team "Chim becoming a mentor" SPECIFICALLY Chim taking Eddie under his wing as the newest paramedic of the 118. Hear me out.

We've seen Captain Wilson, so clearly Bobby's either temporarily or (heaven forbid) permanently handed his position over to Hen, which leaves a spot free for a new paramedic.

Cue Eddie Diaz, army medic, excellent firefighter and man who rips things open with his teeth and looks obscenely hot doing so.

Eddie expresses interest in being a paramedic as he's always enjoyed the medical aspects of things, and Chim offers to mentor him. This is an excellent opportunity to build Eddie and Chimney's friendship, cause those two are hilarious together and I'm very very here for it.

Buck's obviously a little pouty cause if Eddie's a paramedic then it means he's losing his partner, but Eddie's very reassuring that it's not going to change anything, they'll still be best friends etc etc. And now Buck gets to admire competent Eddie shoving in IV lines and breaking sterile barriers with his teeth. Win win really.

Plus, this opens up a role for Ravi to become a more permanent feature in the A shift, if Buck is now in need of another partner, which could give us some excellent banter between them

That is all, rant over, thank you for coming to my TED talk 💙

A Song of Salvation

YA space fantasy adventure

a reborn god in the body of a girl on an isolated planet, a grumpy space pirate, and a famous space-radio podcaster end up together on the run in the middle of an intergalactic war - and they might have the key to end it

m/m and pre f/m, demi MCs

#A Song of Salvation #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #alechia dow #this is. also fine #I like the characters; they’re cool! I think probably my favourite set out of the 3 books. #though it’s very much like; platonic insta-love #i think; as with the other books; the space opera/worldbuilding/vibe is a little too YA for me #FOR ME obviously that’s not a fault of the book since it is YA #something about the brutality of the start of the sound of stars being like………..almost retconned tonally? feels odd. #possibly it’s just that it’s a fun ya series that can’t get too dark but like. it was dark. and then everythign after that....isnt as much #the demi-ness is also p understated but is there #I don’t know what the point of putting zahra with x at the end like…….random as hell soulmate shit. idc #I do also appreciate the existence of a series of 3 books with like four main character couples with fat Black ace-spec/queer people! #like what other YA sff books have that lol #yea so anyway there's lots of good things in here [all 3 books] but i think the overall execution isn't quite for me!

Help Requested!

Tumblr is getting rid of the legacy editor any day now, which means my old custom theme will finally have to be retired. I tweaked it the best I could over the years to make it work for me but this is the final nail in the coffin. Minor tweaks are no longer enough to get by with the entirely new post format (npf) taking over.

Unfortunately I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a theme that I like and that fits all of my extremely specific preferences and requirements (which is why I've held on to my current theme as long as I have) and I'm hoping y'all can help me. Here's what I'm looking for:

npf compatible

simple minimalist style

single column

sidebar (left side preferred)

pagination with sidebar navigation*

visible tags

distinctive separation between posts

sidebar image

I've found a few themes I kinda like with most of these but I've yet to find one that meets all of my requirements. The sidebar navigation is proving to be the most difficult to find and I'm not sure why. Literally nobody seems to make themes with it anymore but I HATE having to scroll to the bottom of every individual page to navigate to the next one. It's so inefficient if I want to skip through pages quickly.

Anyway if you know of any good themes (or theme designers) that might fit my specs please drop them in the replies! I would be eternally grateful.

#if you're not sure what I mean with some of these specs #check out my current custom theme #it fits all of these except the npf compatibility (obviously since that's why I'm having to get a new one in the first place) #tumblr themes

i genuinely believe i could do well as a death growl vocalist in a shitty metal band that doesn't have any future ahead of them but we're all just having fun so nobody minds our lack of quality too much

#long way of saying i think i can perform at like a mediocre but decent enough 7/10 i think. until i get tired. #it is the only way of singing i can do because lord knows there's nothing clean in my vocals lmao #fun fact i learned how to sing harsh vocals because when i was 13 my best friend at the time and i said we'd sing a duet of Ichirin no Hana #also i was huge into maximum the hormone and slipknot at the time. obviously. #but yeah i put all of my musical spec points into learning how to do that part specifically. #we never did sing that together. but i spoke to her again after almost a decade and she brought this up herself #which was very heartwarming as i never forgot how much that meant for me at the time. glad to know she remembered too.

one thing I still do utterly love abt ESO's class design is how utterly different each class's spec feels from each other, and how utterly different they feel from different classes in the same specialization

#what I mean is that every class has a stam/mag dps + tank/healer split bc ESO explicitly designs every class #to be able to play every role and manages to not only have every single spec stand on its own in terms of how they feel #but also despite the fact that it's inevitable every spec will share some basics (ie every mag build will run wall of elements) #two tanks from two classes can feel completely different and two specs from the same class can have complete different class fantasies. #stamNB is that traditional glass cannon rogue feel you probably picked the class for but switch to magNB and you have this game's #closest thing to a warlock. it's actually one of the most survivable classes I've ever played bc it's entire theme is life drain and DoTs. #the tank spec is a sap tank basically. the healer spec is basically sacrifice/vampirism healing which is like never done in MMOs. #and NB tank feels completely different from DK tank which feels different from necro!tank and so on. even if they all share some core skill #idk. the system obviously has a lot of flaws (build variety being one of them) but I still genuinely enjoy it. #saint.txt

Hmmm the drama I'm watching is losing me a little bit.

#personal #at the start I really liked it bc FL has a lot of protagonist qualities I like. its kind of like a loser meets high spec ML and somehow #gets the impression that hes more of a loser than her. which was fun because you get to see ML who is an asshole get dunked on constantly. #but the dunkage has sadly reduced as of late. there was a part where FL had to play therapist for ML that i was like yelling at her not to #do. bc i talk to people on the TV. but it resolved in the funny way of like. she fixed his emotional problems and it just made him more #capable of accomplishing the evil things he was going to do instead of stopping him from doing them all together. #which was hilarious obviously. but now theres kind of been this long arc where theyre trying to set up another couple and honestly #the narrative does like. not have me convinced that she has a reason to like him anymore. he has to do more. i want her to marry the other #guy. like. tired. this is how I felt while reading the straight love triangle manhwa about makeup too. #like I feel like authors of love triangles always come up with like two guys and the first guy is always the worst but by narrative #convention hes the one you expect the protagonist to be with bc one true love or whatever. #no. divorce. please. you dont have to just date one person. if he sucks hit the bricks. #has turned into that thing straight romance does where its more like a horror movie tbh. like girl noooo dont be nice to him #if you do then the narrative will try to make us think he should be forgiven 😫😫😫

I have said this since the start of the season.

These “new cars” have not changed the actual racing one bit. Nothing is different from last year besides Mercedes and Ferrari swapping. That’s it.

There was nothing wrong with the 2021 cars.

Bring them back. These new ones are shit.

#literally said these cars were awful from day dot #I wasn’t wrong lol #like at all #this was before the season even started #the cars are horrendous #as the season goes on they’re just so flawed #from a fan perspective it’s disappointing and also kinda scary cause of the drivers #I mean the porpoising that’s a whole other post obviously but to be frank #they’re awful #they’re slower than the 2021 spec #which is boring af #we want speed honey. #not snails. #thirdly #they are so flawed I can’t even write enough in one post about it #bring back the 2021 spec they were so much better. #f1 #formula one #formula 1

dude a girl in my class just messaged me giving me reasons why the girl I used to like and is currently my friend should kiss me and get together with me HSHGDKHSBHD

she even had screenshots of our groupchat the whole class is in to support her evidence AND took the trouble to send a photo where we are lying on the floor spooning with another friend

like I knew people shipped us but not that they were so invested😭

#I mean the picture and the evidence kinda was pretty gay but everything is platonic here loves #the fact that she's bi and pretty much all of my class knows I'm a lesbian doesn't help much #btw the message she sent was obviously a joke lol #and it wasn't like she overstepped cause the girl that messaged me is kinda my friend?? we hang out sometimes and she's nice #so nothing weird there/ srs #and I do not like her anymore btw #I'm pretty sure I might be in the aro spec too jsghsdka

I truly do think one of the reasons it was so hard for me to accept that I was on the aro spec was because of just how much society is obsessed with romantic love. 

 I don’t think that part of society is necessarily all bad. In a way I think its sweet how society has embraced the idea of loving someone like that. I do think romantic love is beautiful, just not in a way where its beautiful for me, and even I enjoy a good romantic tale. Heck. One of my favourite past times is writing romantic stories. I just wish society was obsessed with other forms of love just as much as it is with romantic.

 I wish society didn’t push the idea that your life won’t be complete without romantic love. I wish it wouldn’t tell me that I’m broken and cruel for not being able to love like that. I wish it wouldn’t tell me that I’ll be lonely for the rest of my days if I don’t find someone to love me a certain way. Why do I need that kind of  love to be happy? Can’t I just be happy as I am? Can’t I just be happy loving others in different ways? 

There are so many ways to love someone than just romantically. I don’t experience romantic love. Not often at least. Not enough for society to deem it normal. But I do love others. I just don’t ever love anyone like the way society wants me to. I don’t love anyone the way that society tells me I need to, and honestly its hard. 

It’s hard. Truly. It’s hard to accept that you’ll probably never find love like society says you should, especially when its all you heard growing up. It hurts. And sometimes I still find myself laying in bed crying about it. Crying because I’m going to be alone. Crying because I’ll never find happiness. Crying because I think I’m broken and cruel. Crying even though I know society is wrong. 

There is nothing wrong with how I love, or how I don’t love, but society has itself so deeply obsessed with romantic love that it can only see love being worthy in that way. And because of that it had been so hard to accept who I was. Even now, its still hard to accept who I am. Its hard to know I’m aro, and at times its even harder to know I’ll probably never love another the way society says I need to.

What if I said you don’t need to be physically affectionate with your partner. What if I said you don’t have to ever kiss them on the lips. Or hold their hands. Or cuddle. What if I said that expecting physical touch out of a partner without talking about those things first is weird, because you shouldn’t expect those to be default givens to you. The same way you wouldn’t expect (or I’d hope you wouldn’t expect) those to be default givens in a friendship.

Sure, a lotta people may be fine with physical affection with their romantic partner, but have you ever considered that not everyone does. Would you assume that someone’s romantic relationship is “probably doing poorly” if you learned they don’t engage in physical affection like that. Would you pity the person who respects the boundaries of their partner that feels uncomfortable with physical touch. Would you villainize the person who set that boundary.

#I was pondering about the fact that lip kisses are dubbed as strictly romantic #& I already made a post abt how I think that’s ridiculous and how some ppl may express platonic affection through lip kisses #& I was thinking about how this personally applies to me and like #I realized that……. I don’t need lip kisses at all?????? #if I never kiss a romantic partner while in a relationship that wouldn’t bother me #it also wouldn’t bother me if they DID want lip kisses #same applies to friendships #I wouldn’t be bothered if a friend said they like expressing platonic love through lip kisses #& I’m obviously not bothered if they don’t want that #idk I’m finding that a lotta rules for romance & platonic love is very arbitrary and ridiculous #mainly been thinking abt this bc I’ve been remembering this one TikTok of two girls showing a montage of photos of their friendship #& in one of the photos they were kissing each other on the lips #& they clarified that they were doing it in a platonic way #however ppl made a meme abt it & would draw their character ships to it #and I remember that leaving a sour taste in my mouth bc like… bro why are you implying that lip kissing can only be romantic???? #I have so many thoughts abt this stuff tho #I think I might make one of my OC ships have a thing where they’re like… NOT super physically affectionate #bc one of the characters HATES physical touch #idk it’s just been on my mind a lot these past couple days #& unfortunately who I’d go to for bc fellow aro-specs be camping rn so no texting #anyway rambling in the post AND in the tags #relationship anarchist #relationship anarchy
