8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

hooo boy.

bobby and eddie's relationship.

i think i've met like. two people who actually Get it bc their dynamic is either reduced down to bobby being eddie's "father-in-law" — which makes no sense since their onscreen relationship exists completely independent of buck — or, in the rare cases that people don't view their dynamic that way, it's usually described as 'eddie is bobby's kid too!' instead. which, admittedly, is not as egregious as the first one but it's just so far from what i personally believe.

i think their bond is incredibly meaningful for both of them, and i think they've both been irreplaceable in terms of the other's growth, but i really don't think that eddie canonically views bobby as a father, nor do i think that bobby sees eddie as his kid. and i don't think that they really need to see each other that way for their relationship to be important.

honestly, i strongly prefer the interpretation that he sees eddie as a reflection of himself (as peter krause said) bc i think that's a much more compelling reading of their dynamic. this is a relationship where bobby saw someone who was struggling in so many of the same ways as he was and decided that he would never let eddie suffer like him, instead choosing to take what he's learned from life and loss and choosing to guide eddie down a better path toward healing and happiness, and i love it for what it is.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

answered here!!

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

thankfully i don't see it much right now but when i was first getting into the fandom i saw a lot of people complaining about lucy and i've always found it exhausting bc i like her character.

(also anything to do with the punch or lawsuit. good lord.)

She’d spent years distracting herself as much as she could, doing everything she could to keep from thinking, and now, suddenly, she had enough time on her hands to begin to think again.

She didn’t want to. She didn’t have the time to, not now.

First sentence prompt:

“What is that even supposed to be?”

“What is that even supposed to be?”

Ellen looks down at the forms on the table, then back up into June's scowling face. “It's the paperwork,” she says slowly, wondering how this can possibly be a shock, “to officially put myself forward as a Presidential candidate.”

Alex whoops, drumming his hands on the table in a celebratory beat, but Ellen only has eyes for her daughter, who has folded her arms across her chest. “Sugar, talk to me.”

“What's the point?” June scoffs.

Hi. How do authors get connected to betas? Is that something that can happen now, or do we wait until summary submission?

Hello! There will be no match for authors and betas, as mentioned in the betas FAQ here :) it's done through the discord server, basically!

Fic Update: Steal My Sunshine

Can't believe it took me this many days to post again. Sorry y'all. Here's chapter three!

Summary:

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles...

Snippet:

“You’re off today,” Bobby observes. “Everything okay?”

“I know,” Buck sighs. “I don’t know, Bobby. I feel wrong, but I’m not quite sure why. It’s been like this all day.”

Bobby frowns. “Physically or…?” 

Buck shrugs. “ Everything. Everything feels wrong but nothing is actually wrong. I woke up feeling like I shouldn’t have woken up alone. I drove to work feeling like I should have been talking to someone. And all day I felt like I was missing something important. A-and do you know I have a mug from the Los Angeles Zoo?”

“The zoo?” Bobby echoes.

“Yes!”

“Why is that connected?” Bobby asks. 

“Bobby, I never go to the zoo. I don’t think I’ve ever even been. ”

@lyricfulloflight I know I threatened to haunt your ask box while reading Red, White and Royal Blue, but what actually happened is I didn't put it down except to eat and sleep, and I finished the whole thing in two days. So.

General thought: This is one of those rare instances in which the book and the movie are equally good. Of course the movie left some characters and plot points out, but it stayed true to the tone and themes of the book. I loved them both.

There were two things in the book that I thought illuminated Henry's character better, but that didn't make it into the movie.

Henry's decision. In the movie, after Henry flees the lake house and then ghosts Alex, Alex shows up in the rain and after Henry tells him he doesn't want the life Alex is offering (going from the crown to politics), Alex won't leave unless Henry tells him to, and the audience is left to believe that Henry changed his mind because he couldn't say the words. In the book, Henry has more time to think. He goes for a run the next morning, and encounters Philip.

Philip is ... fine. He's not unhappy. "It's all very deeply fine." Henry realizes he doesn't just want "fine." And I LOVED that that was all it was. Henry didn't get forced into some huge dramatic situation in which he really didn't have a choice. He just saw his brother being fine with following the life plan laid out for them, and decided he didn't want "fine." It was ENTIRELY Henry's decision. He wasn't forced into anything by circumstances. Alex doesn't have to wonder if Henry felt pressured into staying with him.

That was just such a unique way for the author to handle Henry's decision. Romances are all about drama, and that Henry's decision came down to something as mundane as running into his brother eating plain toast was brilliant. I loved it. Alex is a drama king who dashes across the ocean, gets soaked in a rainstorm and forces an emotional confrontation. Henry sees his brother eating toast.

I mean, that's just so typical of their personalities.

That scene wouldn't have fit into the movie because of the pacing, but it fit so perfectly into the book. (Also, maybe Henry realized that there wasn't much difference between the crown and politics - either life is going to be chaotic and invasive, so he may as well be with the man he loves. He may not want "that life," but turning down Alex still won't make him into a private citizen who can write books in peace.)

The second scene from the book that I felt illuminated Henry's character more was the dance at the V&A. In the movie, Henry talks about his "daft pubescent fantasy" and then Alex turns on the music and invites Henry to dance and becomes his fantasy man.

In the book, Henry again calls the whole idea a "daft pubescent fantasy," but then Henry is the one to turn on the music and ask Alex to dance. That's how he tells Alex that Alex is his dream, his fantasy, his everything. I really liked Henry taking the initiative in living out his daft pubescent fantasy. I felt like both these scenes made Henry more active in deciding to take on the risk of this relationship, rather than just getting swept off his feet by Alex.

Okay, your turn! Tell me something you loved about the book!

Random ask #2: Which episodes of 911 do you re-watch the most? And why?

i think the ones i've rewatched most are 1x01 ("Pilot"), 1x05 ("Point of Origin"), 2x01 ("Under Pressure"), 2x13 ("Fight or Flight"), 2x16 ("Bobby Begins Again"), 3x15 ("Eddie Begins"), 4x05 ("Buck Begins"), 4x06 ("Jinx"), 4x14 ("Survivors"), 5x11 ("Outside Looking In"), 5x12 ("Boston"), and 5x16 ("May Day") though i have a feeling that 7x03 might join this list once the season is over 🙏🏼

#sorry i meant to answer this a few days ago but i fell asleep 😭 #i had to think abt this one bc i tend to do full season rewatches most of the time! i think jinx is the only one i watch as a standalone ep #thank u for the ask btw :) #answered #lyricfulloflight

First ship: I don't remember well, but it must have been either Sanji/Zoro or Gintoki/Hijikata back when I read doujinshi, but I used to read anything, regardless of if I shipped it or not (I didn't know the concept of shipping back then), but the first ship I actively and consciously shipped was cherik

Three Ships: Cherik (Charles/Erik, xmen), Xavierine (Charles/Logan, xmen) and Winteriron (Tony/Bucky, marvel). Although lately I've been OBSESSING over Zolu (Zoro/Luffy)

Currently Reading: Ascendance of a Bookworm. If I manage to finish it, it'll be the longest book in Japanese I've ever read.

Last Song: Some very old Colombian song

Currently Consuming: nothing?

Currently Craving: sleep and less real life drama

i almost wish i wasn’t so predictable, but this, as you can imagine, is from the behemoth. i’m enjoying keeping it so vague so enjoy another vague snippet!

She was back every day. All she ever said was that she’d forgotten something. She came into the house, looked around, grabbed something from her room, and then left. She said a couple words to Annie, briefly spent time with Luis, and then went out the door, saying that she’d see them tomorrow.
