*After Buck asks Eddie out on a date*
Eddie: But what if I mess it up and we stop being friends.
Hen, already tired: Then you're either a fool or blind or both.
Eddie: What if I get pregnant?
Hen: Then you ask him to wear protection. Now please go.

wip wednesday, teehee
i was tagged ny @eddiediaztho, @hippolotamus, @exhuastedpigeon, @wikiangela, @daffi-990, and @jesuisici33, mwah
have a sorta long snippet of hoa eddie finally starting to figure his shit out. he's a fucking loser. i love him.
Once Buck’s drifted off to sleep, snug and relaxed under the big blanket, Eddie rolls over and grabs his phone off the nightstand. He opens one eye, turns the brightness all the way down, clicks onto the browser, and types am i gay quiz in the search bar.
Dozens of links pop up. He clicks on the first one, marks the answers that resonate the most with him, and frowns when his results of 89% straight flash on the screen with a sullen face.
“What the fuck does that even mean?” he mumbles and then, with a fierceness that crinkles his brow, clicks off the quiz and finds another.
He takes seven more, each a little more deranged than the last, and throws his phone to the hardwood floor when he gets his eighth variation of Unfortunately, you aren’t gay! because he’s upset. It thuds loud and heavy, and slides face up all the way to his closet; the screen shines bright like a little flashlight, illuminating the corner.
Eddie huffs, flops onto his back, crosses his arms over his chest, and pouts.
How dare those quizzes diagnose him heterosexual? Yeah, sure, he has a preference for feminine-presenting people, but he’s had plenty of cock to know he’s not straight, too, and being in heterosexual-passing relationships don’t make him any less queer. He’s worked too damn hard to accept himself, selfishly and fearlessly and totally, to let a few quizzes invalid him.
Which—why was he taking the quizzes in the first place? He knows he’s queer and he doesn’t need a pompous test on the Internet to tell him so, Christ. He’s acting like a lovestruck kid with his first crush on another boy.
The absurdity of the situation makes him giggle. He swipes a hand over his face to muffle his laughter, but his body shakes, so near Buck’s, and it rouses Buck around. Eddie sobers and shuts his eyes, feigning sleep.
It doesn’t work.
This must be how Christopher feels when it’s past his negotiated bedtime of midnight.
Buck murmurs, a pitiful noise, and snuffles close. “Eddie?” He noses along Eddie’s shoulder until he has his face stuffed in Eddie’s throat, right where his pulse throbs. “Wha’s goin’ on? Heard a noise.”
“It’s fine,” he says, wrapping Buck up in his arms and pulling him in, until he’s nearly laid out atop Eddie’s body. His weight feels nice, solid and sturdy. “Go back to sleep.”
Buck smacks his lips, puffs his stinky breath in Eddie’s face, and sighs. “M’kay.” He cuddles in, nestling up over Eddie’s body like three’s no other place in the world he wants to be, and goes still. “Nighty night.”
Eddie exhales. “Night, Buck,” he says, setting his chin on top of Buck’s head and running his fingers through Buck’s sweaty, frizzy hair.
He looks at his phone in the corner one last time and wonders if there are any quizzes on the Internet that might help him figure out if he’s in love with his best friend before he eventually dozes off, too, wrapped up tight beneath Buck’s big body.

It bothers me that housed people argue against giving homeless people money because "they might use it for drugs." So what? Have you no sympathy? Must we unperson everyone unfortunate enough to not even have a roof over their head?????? If they want to do drugs it's for good fucking reason if I lived on the street you better bet your ass you'd never find me sober. But also like. Housed people use money for drugs, too? And sometimes they ask for donations if poor/can't afford something important. Should they also be denied financial help because they may spend some of it on drugs? If they're genuinely struggling, then drugs genuinely can help them. Who are you to decide what kind of help they buy?
Like. I'm currently job hunting. Why do I want a job? Mostly so I can afford drugs. Also, of course, to eat and maybe save for important things but mainly drugs. Should that mean I shouldn't get a job because I might use the money I get on drugs? No. Should I not get money from kind friends because I might spend it on drugs? No. Your kindness should not be conditionally based on what you assume the other person is going to spend it on. Also; you cannot "tell" who is a user and who isn't unless there are literal visible track marks or like powder under their nose. And even then, I'm sure there are some illnesses that require injectable medicine, so you still couldn't be 100% sure. Literally, if you have money to spare-- if you are securely fed, housed, and have a few nice things, then you should give money to those in need. Help out in your community. Also, if you want to *additionally* add some material things best are; cigarettes (iirc they are used as currency sometimes between homeless people and also are calming), winter clothes that won't break easy, shoes that won't break and are good for walking long distances, maybe some general medical stuff? But again money is most important. There are times where I have been at risk of being homeless or have been couch surfing and in unstable situations, and the most important things are money and items that are practical and usually wearable.

i know eddie has been through some shit in terms of his military trauma, but i would love it if season 7 remembered he actually has medical/combat experience that the others don’t. i recently watched season 2 again and omg there are so many times when he gives advice or takes control of something bc of his experience. the only time i can remember off the top of my head since then is season 5 when he gives the advice about the bomb when he’s at dispatch. i need them to have a call where there’s something really awful happening, mass chaos, mass injury etc etc, and there are multiple ladder teams there and another captain asks if there’s anyone with expertise in something like this and bobby just goes ‘i know a guy 🙂’ and then hard cut to eddie storming around giving people orders and telling them what to do and where and when! he gets to have a bamf moment where he remembers that his military experience can also be an asset rather than just a burden (and bonus points if it affeCTS buck, i you know what i mean lol)
OH MY GOD I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS LITERALLY LAST NIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO BED. I was thinking about when Taylor (derogatory) is introduced and he just starts talking physics and deals with the whole helicopter. And obviously there's the bomb, the grenade, and the few times he says I've seen a few of these in combat, but like, it's an expertise they never talked about again. Besides the medical training, the academy training, he also has around 5 (?) years of army experience and it would be great to see him use that knowledge and I think it would be good for him to also see that he can use that in a way, and somewhere he would have people around to support him if it triggered him (ideally it wouldn't but they could use that to go all recovery isn't linear). They could've gone in such fun ways with his knowledge outside the academy, and they just never used again. And I guess sure, if you're in Los Angeles the expectation would be for him to not encounter that type of situation but it would interesting to see him bend what he knows to apply there. He clearly dealt with bombs in the past, some improvisation skills, even the random tipbits about why rushing into a specific situation would be bad like he does with the helicopter and the dynamic rollovet, and I'm pretty sure there's another call he starts talking physics I don't remember what now, that could add a whole layer as to why he is so good at the job, because, yes, it traumatized him, but I think it would be good for him to realize that he got something useful from all that too.
Also yes please, call where Eddie is taking over and Buck is just "this is definitely working for me, yes sir"

I am so tired of the Trump cult obsession. I am so tired of the celebration of Roe vs. Wade and the sentiment that it's Gods good will of what happened in Oslo. I'm so tired of the transphobia. I'm so tired of them using slurs against people and saying 'ew' anytime something or someone gay is brought up. I'm tired of them sucking the NRAs cock while they buy themselves merch and flaunt around like they're proud gun owners after the Uvalde shooting. I fucking hate my life here, I am losing any hope and truly feel I have nothing to live for anymore. There seems to be no end in sight any time soon or maybe at all! I miss my cats, I miss my life, I miss myself. I feel myself spiraling every night and I cant sleep. It just gets worse every single day. But I have to pretend to be fine because I'll upset people with my negativity and if I lose my shit I could get kicked out and have no where to go. I'm tired of being used as the house mule to do all the things my families is to lazy to do themselves with no compensation and baking in the sun for hours on an empty stomach. I have no way to get a job in this rural area and my bike tire is popped and the frame is bent so I have no way to get around or make my own money to fix my bike and at the very least care for myself like buy fucking food so I can eat any other time besides dinner, which isn't even guaranteed half of the week. I'm hungry, tired, miserable and alone in this. I just dont even know what to do anymore and have no hope for the future because inflation is getting ridiculous and making everything 10x harder than normal.

If you are still taking ask for the wip game Divorced era?
I'm always down to talk about my wips, so let's go. Divorced era, I got an ask a few months back after I made a comment about the way we never got Eddie's immediate reaction to knowing Buck is safe, about how the logical conclusion was now having Eddie blow up at Buck and them fighting because Buck put himself in danger, and I didn't think much of it at first, but then I had an idea of having them fighting in the parking lot at the firehouse and things evolved from there. Basically, Buck has been doing progressively more reckless choices in calls, then something almost goes wrong, Eddie blows up at him, Buck says something he shouldn't, Eddie walks away, they don't talk, Eddie decides to call off from the next shift so he won't have to face Buck, Buck thinks he somehow managed to fuck up their friendship for good, and then there's a call at Chris' school. So Buck has a really bad day overall. It is fun for me to have them fight and I am alternating pov which is different for me, but there are some nice Buck and Chris moments and Chris' teacher fully believes Buck and Eddie are married and that's actually funny for me because Buck is confused, Eddie is going with it, Chris is all, yes Buck is my father too and that's great to explore when they are fighting. It's just tension and mutual pining while things go wrong.
Here's the last snippet I posted.
Ask me about my wips?
