let’s talk about 9-1-1 buddie headcanons:
- eddie gets rid of his truck. christopher is getting older and wants more independence so he gets something with better clearance. and I’ve decided that something is a dodge durango. eddie is actually really into it. can’t stop talking about the fold down seats and towing capabilities. buck teases him and calls it his soccer mom van. then immediately starts researching CP-friendly soccer leagues for chris.
- buck strikes me as a podcast kinda guy. I feel like a lot of his random facts probably start with information learned via podcast and then researched separately on google or wikipedia.
- luddite eddie my beloved. but not like luddite luddite. eddie’s a millennial so I see him as okay with all the 20th century technology he grew up with and just not all the newfangled smart home/internet gaming stuff.
- abuela gives eddie an old turntable and a box of records and he falls in love with it. likes to play spanish love songs while cleaning on the weekends.
- eddie breaks up with ana. he does it quietly and cordially a couple weeks after the sniper incident.
- buck and taylor date for a little while but never really take off. and it’s super important that it’s buck who makes the decision to break up. they both have very busy lives and different priorities. and taylor acknowledges she probably shouldn’t have kissed him in the first place. she just hated to see buck so broken and wanted to comfort him. they decide they are better as friends.
- bosko and eddie friendship rights! eddie actually apologizes to her and they become gym buddies. lena stops going to the junkyard fights and finds an MMA gym that she’ll take eddie to. during the pandemic they somehow find themselves doing socially distanced tai-chi in the park. they keep it up once the gyms reopen.
- side note: lena does in fact get a cat. he’s a huge floofy maine coon named sarge who absolutely adores eddie. rubs his head all over him and immediately worms his way into his lap when eddie visits. he hisses at buck tho and lena finds it endlessly hilarious.
- demisexual eddie! I like the idea of lena no-nonsense asking eddie if he’s ace one day and eddie just having an internal panic attack but not being able to figure out why. karen gently brings it up few months later and he’s just deny deny deny. then he overhears david telling michael that he gives off ace vibes and that’s the last straw. so eddie pulls a full buck and starts researching just to prove everyone wrong. except it’s like a lightbulb clicks on and yeah. maybe there’s something to this.
- eddie and karen have a book club every other week. usually novellas or a short story collection. queer theory and literary fiction. the occasional poetry book. at some point they invite david to join them. they also have a not-so-secret romance novel exchange because they are big saps.
- eddie is also a sucker for a really good cup of black coffee. has a favorite hole-in-the-wall cafe where he buys beans in bulk. buck calls it his diesel fuel drink and grimaces at the taste. he prefers simple oatmilk latte from the place near the station. and yet buck always seems to know what days eddie will be running late and rushing to work and has a cup from said hole-in-the-wall coffee waiting. despite it not being on buck’s route.
- christopher loves buck’s loft. buck keeps a stash of toys and coloring books in his coffee table trunk for when he visits. chris sees the stairs as a fun challenge and will often ask to go up and sit on buck’s bed to watch the city. or sit on the patio while buck bbq’s dinner for the three of them. he thinks it’s the coolest house ever.
- buck actually rides his bike. it’s not just for show. especially after the pandemic hit. he likes to go out in the mornings. drives to a nearby trail on his days off and enjoys the scenery while the sun comes up. sometimes eddie and chris meet him there after his ride and they have a breakfast picnic.
- the diaz-buckley-han’s share one netflix account. it’s technically buck’s in that he pays for it, but when maddie moved to LA he set her up with her own profile. then logged into his account at eddie’s one day and never logged out. renamed the profile buck & eddie after he setup a kid’s profile specifically for chris. then after learning about maddie and chim’s not-dating buff-fridays, buck put both their names on her profile as a prank. and then it just stayed that way. jee-yun even has a profile despite being a literal infant that doesn’t watch tv. maddie cried when she saw it.
- buck takes the legal guardianship thing very seriously. he’s already really involved in essentially co-parenting chris but he starts getting really nervous about asking invasive questions about chris’ medical history. so eddie sits him down with chris and the three of them talk about it. eddie very specifically asks chris if he’s okay with sharing that kind of info with buck. because even tho christopher’s a kid eddie always wants him to have a say in his own health decisions. then he has a more in-depth convo with just buck about insurance and bills and doctor’s visits. makes sure buck has access to all of it.
- chris played secret matchmaker. went to his old friend santa claus and asked if buck would stay forever. santa came thru, as always.
- also carla knows. buck starts spending more nights at the diaz house and one morning she lets herself in and sees buck coming out of eddie’s room in just a pair of sweatpants. she gives him a coy eyebrow raise and buck blushes. then she just laughs, pats his cheek affectionately, and says your secret’s safe with me buckaroo. when a bleary-eyed eddie wanders out a half hour later she pushes a cup of coffee into his hands, waits a few moments, looks eddie dead in the eyes, and points at buck. I see you took my advice. eddie chokes on his coffee.
- speaking of carla she is family. she and her husband are regular guests at the 118 get-togethers, holidays at the firehouse, and family meals. she occasionally takes on other clients, but she’s mostly exclusive to the diazes these days. esp as christopher gets older and wants more independence. she’s been around since he was 7 and he’s comfortable with her. she stays his home heath care aide until she retires. then she personally vets a new one. because not just anyone will do for her boy. they throw her a huge retirement party.
- gonna jump into the future because christopher absolutely names his daughter carla shannon buckley-diaz. there isn’t a dry eye in the house.
- and I don’t actually see chris calling buck pops or anything. he’s just his buck. tho I can see eddie asking christopher if he wants to hyphenate his last name when buck officially adopts him. buck’s his hero so chris is 100% onboard.
- buck and eddie don’t have more kids. eddie never wanted more and buck is surrounded by the ever-expanding horde of firefam kids. they love their little trio.
- also eddie is hilariously terrible with other kids. he just. doesn’t know how to talk to them. he’s literally the best father ever with christopher, but any other kid and he’s all awkward hello small human. it’s also the reason the team sends buck to handle kid rescues. he knows how to speak to kids and they light up around his sunshine energy. but then there are certain kids who just glom onto eddie. usually the quiet ones. they find something about his calm dad presence very soothing so they just cling to him until buck can coax them around.
- I do not see the buckley-diazes getting a pet. buck and eddie work long shifts and it’s not fair to put that kind of extra responsibility on carla when her job is to care for chris. however, as chris gets older he does get a mobility service dog to help with counterbalance. she’s a golden retriever named stella and she’s a very good girl.
- buck proposes by accident. they’re at the park with christopher and marriage just sorta comes up during one of his infodumps. eddie is eating his sandwich, nodding along, and just casually says of course I want to marry you. buck stops talking. christopher giggles. eddie panics. but when he looks at buck he’s all puppy-eyed and hopeful. you do? eddie nods. chris chimes in with a stage whispered ask properly buck and say yes dad. so they do.
#been doing some more eddie meta lately so these are an extension of that#honestly I probably have even more but I'm gonna stop#buddie#eddie diaz#evan 'buck' buckley#christopher diaz#carla price#lena bosko#911 what's queue emergency?#writing in the ready room#911 fox#9-1-1

Hi there! My Wednesday (and Thursday) have been busy but cool! Went bowling with people from my job and baked Christmas cookies with my friends! I was probably close to a sugar shock I snacked so much lmao.
I hope the Christmas market I'll be going to similar to what I remember, what with Covid. Loads of yummy food, decoration and booths with pretty things you could give someone as a gift. I'm horrible at buying Christmas presents, any tips for parents? 🥴
Ohh you're almost a Christmas baby?? Like Louis! How do you like that?
Also I saw you've got a second secret santa, how exciting! Welcome to the mix Ana 🥰
See ya ⭐
Ah! Bowling is so fun. It used to be one of the main spots to hang out back in high school, and I had one of my first real dates there haha. I haven’t gone in soooo long. Perhaps you have urged me to go and bowl sometime soon. All I know is that I stand by the fact that the bowling alley has the best cheese sticks and chili cheese fries I’ve ever had. No arguments.
Christmas cookies!! I need to bake some, myself. I usually like the pillsbury sugar cookies with the prints on them, but it seems like they’re all out everywhere close to me. But, I do want to bake a strawberry cake and decorate it very christmas-like. I might do that tomorrow ✨
Please tell me all about your christmas market when you go!! ❤️ A friend and I who share our birthday are going the day before to our city’s christmas market, and I’m excited. The food and the vendors look like so much fun. We usually don’t have a real market/festival here but it’s new this year, and it looks magical. Will definitely pump up the christmas spirit. what kind of food and vendors are usually at your market? 🤍
Ooooo christmas presents. How old are your kids? 🥺 My nephew is almost 3 and he’s more into playing with utensils than real toys so we bought him a whole utensil and measurement spoon set hahah.
I am almost a christmas baby!! 🎅🏼✨ Louis and I are two days apart ✨😌 honestly, i’ve always loved being born around such a magical holiday. it makes the spirit for my birthday that much more special. My parents always allowed it to be my day and never lumped it into christmas which is really nice and considerate of them as I know others aren’t always like that.
Yes, I’m honored to have two secret santas. I’m giving you and Ana the biggest and warmest hug :) I hope your Friday was well, my friend ❄️

A Little Navidad Surprise
Happy Holidays to the lovely, talented, and amazing friend @lovelyrugbee! It was so much fun to be your secret santa this year!
Let’s hope for another great year!
Though Avalorians rarely ever had a ‘traditional white Christmas’ compared to other kingdoms in the EverRealm, it was still easy to tell when the Navidad season was in full swing.
The markets and trading ports were flooded with more and more people as they all hunted for that perfect gift as the days drew near. Imported poinsettias became the centerpieces of all family dining tables and were surrounded by the mouthwatering seasonal foods. Beautiful garlands were strung between houses. And the tinkling of bells and carols filled the air.
The Royal Palace, and more specifically, the Royal Solar had all of these merriments and magic and more.
Well, a few hours ago they did.
What remained now were ripped shreds of colored wrapping paper, hardening gingerbread houses that were settling on top of tables, and of course, all the new gifts that had been exchanged littered throughout the whole room.
“You know, I’m starting to miss when the kids would take all their gifts with them to bed, no matter what they were,” Mateo said as finished stacking the new playing cards that had been strewn all over the game table that was right in front of the fireplace. They were were hand-painted and extremely detailed gift from King Hector. They had been a little disturbing at first, seeing his face on every one of them. But they had gotten more appealing the more rounds of old maid they had played.
“At the very least, they are finally old enough to stay awake and help clean up after the party,” Elena said as she continued folding up new garments and placing them in their respective piles.
And this was true. Currently, they were either down in the kitchens washing dishes and putting away holiday treats, or they were putting the castle to sleep by lighting candles or getting fresh linens. It was always a tradition of the Royal Family to give the staff the day off to be with their families on Navidad. Though they had always been up for the task without complaint, Elena would be lying if she didn’t think that it certainly helped that they now had a large extended family of kids, cousins, nieces and nephews, and in-laws.
“Let’s take a quick break,” Elena declared as she folded the last piece of clothing and got to her feet. “I want to warm up a little.”
She paused briefly though at a bowl of leftover cranberries and grabbed a small handful. Elena popped the berries in her mouth as she walked over the couch where her husband was already sitting. The deliciously tart flavor coated her mouth and made Elena grateful that this time her craving for these coincided with their seasonal demand. She already knew for a fact that she would need a lot more of these in the near future.
Once she made it over, Elena sat down right next to Mateo, immediately toed off her heels, and sighed in content as she folded her legs under her, having enjoyed one too many dances this evening. Mateo now had his reading glasses on as he gazed at stack of papers in front of him. As Elena laid her head on his shoulder, she realized that he was looking at drawings done earlier this evening.
His arm securely wrapped around her shoulders and she did the same in return as they both continued to admire the artwork. So many members of their families had become skilled drawers, that they now had books filled with them and all the beautiful memories they depicted. Memoires more priceless than all the jewels and silk in all the world.
Elena’s fingers then trailed across his shoulder and up to his hair. A habit she started doing more after Mateo had decided to let his hair grow out recently. It was now long enough that he could tie it back into a low ponytail at the base of his neck.
Elena chuckled as she wound a curl around her finger.
“What?” Mateo immediately asked her, his curiosity always quickly peaked.
“I’m just thinking about how long your hair got after Lulu was born.” Elena’s smile broadened. “You’re mami had a conniption about it.”
“You don’t even know the half of it,” Mateo mused as he took off his glasses and placed them and the drawings on the game table. “But I didn’t care, my hair seemed like that last thing on my mind compared to being a father for the first time.”
Elena nodded her head in agreement. “I remember I only wore my hair in a braid and had not any make-up for the first 2 months.”
“You were still beautiful," Mateo said as he intertwined their fingers together. “Especially when you would sing her lullabies early in the mornings even though you were exhausted.”
“And you looked just as handsome when you played with her in the bath, splashing water everywhere and making her giggle.” Elena slid her free hand underneath his vest. “I remember how much I wanted to have another baby with you as soon as Lulu became a toddler.”
“I’m sorry I made you wait a few years then.” Mateo brushed his nose against hers, “Wasn’t for a lack of trying though.”
Elena smiled. Now that was an understatement.
It was queer though, to have a memory that felt simultaenously so distant and yet so close as well. They’re babies were growing up fast. Julian was already 7 and had received his first tamborita on his birthday a few months ago. Bianca was only a year older at 8 and had an exceptional gift for needle work and was now even making her own dresses. Ana Lucia, their eldest, was now 12 and spent her days growing her ever adventurous spirit, usually on the back of her first proper horse, Maya.
Even their youngest niece was already 5 years. The Avalor castle had certainly been without the cries and the laughs of a baby for a while...
“I have another gift for you,” Elena then said mischievously as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ears.
“Oh really?” Mateo said, dropping his voice low and his hand slid down from her shoulder and along the side of her body before it rested on her backside. “I wonder what it could be? The same as what I got last year? And the year before that?”
“Okay then, I have another another gift for you.” Elena gave him a quick kiss to quell him, for now. “A riddle.”
Mateo’s head tilted to the side, even more intrigued.
Elena made a great show of clearing her throat and then said with a great flourish:
“What has ten fingers, and ten little toes, two sleepy eyes and a cute button nose? What has two feet, and a belly to tickle, and causes a craving for chocolate and pickles? With just one more hint, we’re sure you’ll see, The answer to this riddle begins with a B.”
When she finished, Elena felt her heart start to beat at a rapid pace.
“Do you know the answer?”
“Mmmhmm,” Mateo said, not even trying to hide the smug look on his face. “It’s obviously a baby. It was easy to tell by--”
Elena bit her lips tightly, anticipation lighting up her every nerve as she watched his expression transform.
“Wait…”
Elena could no longer suppress the laugh that had been within her. His practically sparkling eyes and jaw dropped smile were just too adorable.
“You’re serious!?” Mateo loudly exclaimed as he quickly moved so that they now faced each other.
“Yes, yes of course I am!” Elena replied just as loud as she bounced a little in her seat.
Mateo let out a shaky breathe as one of his hands then went to her stomach, he rubbed small gentle circles over it. “Hey...hey there little one.”
His overreaction wasn’t unwarranted. Though Julian’s birth had been the easiest, even after the complications surrounding Bee’s birth that came close to taking Elena’s life, the couple knew better than to try and tempt fate twice. Especially when magic had been involved to heal Elena. They had decided from then on that they would start taking their contraceptive potions from their courting days until further notice. And it became such a routine part of their lives, that they had kept it up for years now. That was, Elena guessed, until sometime recently.
Mateo must have had that same realization as he then asked, “How? Or I mean, when?”
Elena shrugged. “I only found out two days ago. However, even if we figure out around what time I might have gotten pregnant, I don’t think we’ll ever find out exactly which time it was.”
“Do you feel okay though?” Mateo asked, a spark of concern flickering in his eyes. “No abnormalities or new pains?”
“None,” Elena said as she shook her head and began rubbing comforting circles on his hand that was still on her tummy. “You know I’ll keep you informed if anything happens though. But I have hope that I will be just fine. I was young and strong then, and I’m still spry and strong now.”
Mateo beamed at her, filling her heart with so much love. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around her waist and fell backwards. Elena squealed as she fell on top of him. The two of them descended into a fit of giggles as Elena retaliated by peppering his face in kisses.
They continued to stay in that position even when they were now red faced and breathless. Elena felt like she had just drank a cup of Abeula’s special Navidad punch with how warm and fuzzy she felt.
“The kids won’t believe this!” Mateo exclaimed with his arms she wrapped tightly around her. “I’m sure Julian will be ecstatic to be an older brother now.”
“You’re right. But if we tell them now, they’ll never be able to fall asleep. Let’s tell them tomorrow at breakfast.”
Elena nuzzled her head into his chest.
“Tonight, I just want you to fully enjoy your gift, to enjoy our little secret tonight.”
“Oh, my gift!” Mateo quickly scrambled to get them back upright. He leapt up from the couch and ran over to the christmas tree.
Mateo waved his hand in front of a particularly strong branch. A small red velvet box materialized where he had just waved.
Elena rolled her eyes. “You know you don’t have to keep doing that every year.”
“With that impish side of yours, I don’t take my chances,” Mateo said as he took his place back right beside her. “Especially around Navidad, you can be as bad as Esteban."
Elena couldn’t resist giving him a slight shoulder push, even if he was right.
Mateo just laughed though as he presented the box out to her. He made her wait in suspense for a few more seconds before he lifted up the lid to reveal the gift.
Inside was a beautiful simple bracelet made of rose gold, the precious metal she had taken up since the day she had officially become Queen. And on the bracelet were 5 little circle charms, with each one of them having a different gemstone in the middle of it.
Elena was speechless at the care and beauty of it as Mateo took out and put it on her right wrist. Elena felt her cheeks ache from smiling so wide as she held out her wrist and moved it around so that the gold glowed and the gems sparkled in the firelight.
“It’s all our birthstones,” Mateo then said softly.
Elena’s movement ceased. She brought her wrist and cradled the bracelet as if it was made of glass and looked deeply at the now even more precious gemstones.
Mateo pointed to the one on the left. “Mine.”
Then to the one on the right. “Yours”
And finally the three ones in the middle. “Lulu, Bee, and Julian.”
“And there’s always room for one more,” Mateo grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on the back of it.
Elena used her free hand to wipe away the little tears that were starting to pool in her eyes. She felt that the bracket was now already something so near and dear to her even though she only has had it for a few minutes now. It was a miniaturized version of her family that she would be able to keep close with her at all times.
“You better be careful,” Elena said in a low tone as she leaned forward and pressed her forehead against his. “Or we might need more than one.”
Mateo chuckled as his hand went back to her stomach. Elena placed her right hand over the top of his. The present and future now altogether in this moment.
Elena closed her eyes in content. “Happy Navidad, mi amor.”
“Happy Navidad, mi corazon.”

2019 Fic Writing Roundup
I was tagged by my lovely friend @catty-words.
Total 2019 Word Count: 58,159
Total 2019 Hits: Asdfghjkl; Oh gosh, it’s much harder to tell when the work is only on Tumblr! I’ll tally up the notes from there to get the closest approximation I can. It looks like there are 174 total (a mix of likes and comments) on the pieces that I posted from this past year.
Other 2019 AO3 Stats: N/A, although I did finally join AO3 *this* year, so next time around there’ll actually be things to put here! :)
Total 2018 Word Count: Published? None. I think I might have tried writing a little bit of something for myself somewhere in there, but I didn’t get back to any kind of public fandom writing until 2019.
Total 2018 Hits: None. What a difference a year can make! I look forward to comparing 2019 to whatever’s yet to come in 2020!
Other 2018 AO3 Stats: N/A
links and titles to 2019 works
Oooh, this is actually a good opportunity to list them chronologically rather than in publication sequence. Let me see if I can get them sorted. (If, however, you’d prefer to read them in the order that they were published, you can click here and simply open the installments in reverse, since Tumblr displays things oldest-to-newest.) All of the following were written for the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend fandom and feature Heather x Valencia as their central pairing.
1. Barrier [1,385 words] - Following where we last saw them in 1.09, Josh and his friends continue their beach day now sans Rebecca’s presence. Consequently, Valencia’s critical eye falls on the only other woman in their company - Heather.
2. Unexpected [3,003 words] - The conclusion of 1.18 leaves Valencia with a lot of emotional baggage to unpack. As one of West Covina’s most frequented locales, Home Base is the first place that springs to mind where she might chase away her sorrows (or perhaps just air them out verbally while all other involved parties are away at Jayma’s wedding). Heather finds herself pulled into comfort and commiseration despite her efforts to avoid involvement.
3. Lost Control and Tumbled Overboard Gladly [3,265 words] - Heather goes to her parents’ home for the first holiday visit since moving out on her own. She has her new friend Valencia in tow. Sincere conversation and the rare allowance of vulnerability break down Heather’s walls with an ease that takes her by surprise.
4. Such Sweet Nothing [1,362 words] - Valencia and Heather return to V’s apartment after their Labor Day afternoon of story-swapping and quality time together. Valencia revels in the joyful acquirement of the second gal pal of her adult life. Heather contends with the dawning realization that her interest in Valencia may not be purely for friendship.
5. There’s A Reason Not to Want This (But I Forgot) [2,418 words] - Internet sleuthing with Rebecca pulls Valencia right back into a Josh fixation spiral. Heather must also face some unresolved feelings: namely, a crush now so intense it can no longer be denied.
6. Habits [3,599 words] - The desire to protect Valencia’s heart overrides the instinct to shield her own, and so Heather ends the self-imposed avoidance of her company. She arrives on V’s doorstep with a helpful cover story and some unfortunate news that needs to be broken gently.
7. I Want Not to Want Anything [1,314 words] - Heather Davis gets Santa Ana Winded.
8. Breathless [3,673 words] - A talk with Heather about Rebecca’s impending marriage to Josh leads Valencia to reassess what matters to her. A rosé-fueled jaunt to a local green space gives rise to the persistent inkling that what - or rather who - she really wants may be a lot closer to her than she’s ready to admit.
9. No One’s Really Got It Figured Out Just Yet [3,289 words] - Valencia throws the bachelorette party for Rebecca. Gurl Group antics and H+V flirting tactics set to hits from the mid ’90s and 2000s ensue.
10. Evading [2,207 words] - In the wake of events from 3.05 and 3.06, Heather and Valencia have a much needed heart-to-heart. They put some important truths into words while treading lightly around a few unspoken facts so delicate they’re best left in the margins.
11. How Long Do You Plan to Keep Me at the Back of Your Mind? [2,442 words] - An evening welcoming Valencia’s girlfriend Beth to be an honorary member of the Gurl Group doesn’t go quite as smoothly as planned when Heather has a difficult time harnessing her lingering feelings.

28. #afewofmyfavoritethings [2,838 words] - Nathaniel, Rebecca, Valencia, Heather, Paula, Scott, and Tommy all rent a cabin for vacation. This piece follows them through a day of wintertime fun. Pure fluffiness here and I had the best time writing every second of it.
Favorite Fic: Probably #afewofmyfavoritethings. I packed it with elements I personally love and moments I was hoping my new friends in the fandom would like. Plus, it was honestly just so good for my soul to write these characters in a soft world where they could engage in classic snow day activities and enjoy each other’s company.
Hardest Fic: I knew there were a few installments of Femslash February where I wrote whole paragraphs or even pages I didn’t keep/decided to revise, but I was pretty sure I also remembered at least one where I wrote an entire separate piece. My sleep schedule was, shall we say, not advisable during February but it was also easily the most exhilarating month of my year. I tracked down the evidence of that rewrite and it turns out the incident I recalled was for Unusual Kiss (the prompt for Day 4 of FF). The original involved something to do with butterfly kisses because, evidently, my inclination to link Valencia to winged beings knows no bounds. I’ve got to admit that I’m still fond of the concept of Valencia giving Heather a subtle “kiss” during a hug in that painfully frightening time before Beth when she was afraid to outright kiss a woman in any way that couldn’t be dismissed as platonic. There’s a good chance an interaction of that nature could appear somewhere in the full story. I am notoriously drawn to that angst period of undisclosed pining so the temptation is quite strong. Still, I’m glad I used the version I actually posted and saved elements of the first draft for later. Fragments of their conversation from the original will probably make it into the final tale, but I think I prefer to sprinkle them across several exchanges instead of divulging them all at once.
Do You Plan to Take Prompts in 2020? Sort of yes and sort of no. I am participating in the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Valentine Exchange, which involves a prompt-esque note from the participant each of us were assigned as our guide to spark inspiration for the gift. It’s also possible that there’ll be some writing prompt list posted somewhere along the way just like Femslash February was last year, and I’ll end up wanting to join the fun. Other than that, though, I’ll mainly stick to the one writing project in an effort to hone my focus.
What was the best thing about 2019? I’d definitely say the bonding and interactions with other members of the fandom. The encouragement and support I received from them remains the primary motivation for me to keep writing and chasing after the ongoing goals I set for myself.
What was the worst thing about 2019? The most honest answer that my mind immediately supplied is death of a close relative. While that isn’t the sole reason for the dip in my creative output (especially since there were multiple months between my last published fic and the passing in question), I know it could certainly be counted among the contributing factors to an overarching writing problem I had. Even before my family’s loss, there was a shift in my thought process that only got worse once there was more on my plate in my personal life. There were many times I sat down wanting to write again but it felt too difficult and intimidating to commit words to the page. I couldn’t seem to transfer them from my mind to the keyboard and I’d invariably switch to doing something else. I developed this terrible internal conviction that insisted the larger fic I wanted to write wouldn’t work as well as the shorter installments. That gnawing insecurity would have me believe one month’s worth of well-received efforts was already such a marvel that anything beyond that point was somehow pushing my luck. Where did the mental voice originate and why couldn’t I shake it? It’s difficult to parse out but what I do know is that I’ve firmly decided 2020 is going to be a year I put it on silent. I know what it’ll mean to me for everything that’s been floating in my head to finally be told in one cohesive format, and to have the satisfaction of giving my favorite characters the ending my heart says they deserve. It’s a sense of closure that’s worth the pursuit.
Any last thoughts for 2019? The bad parts of the last twelve months made me want to essentially say “good riddance” to the year, but the good parts were far too treasured to wish all of 2019 away. I am so grateful for the new people I met and friendships that solidified during that time. I especially owe my most heartfelt appreciation to @catty-words, @notbang, and @monaiargancoconutsoy. Thank you for everything. <3
Goals for 2020
Finish. The. Fic.
I believe everyone I know who writes fanfic has already been tagged but, if you haven’t gotten the chance to look back over your writing year, by all means, use these questions to give it a go! :)

A San Diego & Orange County California Airplane Accident Lawyer’s Humorous View of Possible Future Laws to Prevent Aircraft Accidents
[ad_1]
If you've got had an airplane or aviation accident anywhere in California, from San Diego to Orange County, or from Santa Barbara to Palm Springs, or at any other Southern California airport like Carlsbad, Chico, Imperial, Lengthy Beach front, Los Angeles, Ontario, San Luis Obispo, Santa Ana, Santa Maria, Palmdale, Camarillo, Chino, Compton, El Monte, Hawthorne, La Verne, Ramona, Riverside, San Bernardino, Torrance, Upland, Van Nuys, Burbank, Apple Valley, Banning, Large Bear, Borrego Springs, Calexico, Corona, Lompoc, Murrieta, Temecula, Oceanside, Paso Robles, Redlands, Santa Ynez, Twentynine Palms, Hesperia, Joshua Tree, or Yucca Valley, you've got most likely been wanting to know if the California condition legislators are doing the job on any new Costs to try out to protect against airplane incidents or if the reduce backs on foodstuff and beverages on flights usually means that security could also endure.
I had read that the state's legislators were being speeding to go legislation to protect against airplane incidents, so I termed just one of my condition Senators to master how this would have an affect on pilots in California and own injury victims. What I uncovered may possibly just keep me on the ground in the upcoming.
"I would guess that the rule versus utilizing mobile phones would not implement to pilots, right?" I asked.
"Truly, it will," the Senator stated. "We even now think it can mess up the navigational gear. Radio transmissions will even now be authorized."
"What are you wondering about prohibiting?" I asked.
"Can you keep a secret," the Senator asked.
"Absolutely sure," I stated.
"Perfectly we have read some pilots used to like to drink a little some thing on prolonged flights," the Senator stated.
"You're not indicating what I think you're indicating, are you?" I asked.
"Yup," the Senator answered. "No much more beach front functions in the cockpits. The rule versus consuming margaritas will be strictly enforced from now on."
"Which is fantastic," I stated sarcastically. "I dislike it when the pilot of my aircraft starts off singing on the intercom."
"What else are you wondering about prohibiting?" I asked.
"No much more gambling, and no much more card video games of any form."
"They participate in card video games up there?" I asked.
"They participate in all varieties of video games," the Senator stated. "Poker, movie video games...we are producing a listing that will be all inclusive, we hope."
"So what else are you contemplating outlawing?" I asked.
"Perfectly, you'd most likely be shocked what pilots do now that they have all that foodstuff to themselves," the Senator stated.
"You imply the foodstuff they used to serve passengers?" I asked.
"Which is right," the Senator stated. "Turns out they have been obtaining foodstuff fights up there and utilizing the peanuts as poker chips."
"Appears like the fun is around" I stated.
"We are not prohibiting every thing," the Senator stated. "But there will be no much more spying on the passengers until it can be for stability explanations."
"What do you imply spying?" I asked.
"Are you positive you can keep a secret?" the Senator asked.
"Positive," I stated with my fingers crossed guiding my back.
"Perfectly, you know people little air vents that you modify to blow air on your seat?"
"Absolutely sure," I answered.
"Lets just say that airplanes vents would do much more fantastic if they didn't have little cameras in them."
"You imply that each individual of people little vents are truly cameras?" I asked. "I always puzzled why they worked so improperly."
"You didn't listen to that from me," the Senator stated.
"Aren't you worried of producing the pilots bored if you acquire absent their little spy resources?"
"Maybe they are going to have to set on some better in flight movies," the Senator stated.
"Just never permit the pilots have a screen to look at them," I stated.
"Superior level," the Senator replied, and designed a note to himself.

EOA Secret Santa Gift
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!!! @eoa-secret-santa-2018
Silv @maruvian I hope you enjoy this gift to you and have a wonderful day!
Thank you to all that have made me feel welcomed into this fandom that I just joined not too long ago
Enjoy!!
It should be a surprise to no one that Queen Elena could still proudly admit that her favorite holiday and time of the year was Navidad. From the delicious smells of her Abuela’s tamales, to the vibrant poinsettias, and beautiful tinikling of silver bells, it all never ceased to take her breath away.
And this Navidad was no exception. In fact, this year was even more special. The many friends and familia that Elena had gained over the years were all gathered together on one of the castle’s more private beaches.
The Royal Sirena family lounged on the shores, munching on kelp tacos as they conversed with Val and Alanso. The Jaquins, on the other hand, had decided to show off some fancy flying work with Isabel’s new and improved sky painting invention.
“Luna, Skylar, You’re going to throw out your backs again.” Migs warned as he stood beside Elena on the ground.
“Oh lighten up Migs!” Luna yelled back as she did some large red swirls.
“Just because we’re still young at heart doesn’t mean you need to ruin our fun!” Skylar exclaimed as he did a tight and reckless barrel roll.
Migs just closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. “He’s your King Migs, he’s your King.”
Elena just chuckled and stroked back some of the agitated fur on Mig’s neck.
“Don’t heal them Elena if they get hurt, or else they won’t learn their lesson.”
“As long as you take time to enjoy the party as well.” Elena pointed over her shoulder, “I’m pretty sure Dulce could use some help with the cubs.”
“You’re right,” Migs said. Of course Elena was right, this was their third litter and their largest one yet.
“Try to enjoy yourself Pookie bear.”
Migs groaned loudly, “Not you too.”
Elena smiled as Migs went over and joined his mate and rambunctious children. And once he was settled on the ground and looked a little more relaxed, Elena decided to inspect how the rest of the festivities were going.
She immediately scoped out for her Abuelo and let out a sigh of relief when she caught sight of him. Old wounds and days as a reckless young vigilante were catching up to Francisco more and more, now confining him to a wheelchair, but that didn’t mean he had lost his dramatic flare or guitar producing skills. Her daughter Bianca and nephew Damian were sitting comfortably on his lap and Rafa sat next to him with Elena's son Julian in her lap as Abuelo seemed to be regaling them with some epic tale of his youth.
Her Abuela was still in a little better shape, as she was kicking an olaball back and forth with her other daughter Ana Lucia and Isa. All their skirts were hiked up high, but Elena was so glad that she decided not to get Lulu a really expensive new Navidad dress like Bianca, lord knows how long it will be until this one was covered in dirt and torn.
Estaban was the most surprising as he was playing and wrestling around with the younger boys, with Damian’s twin Dante clinging to one leg and Naomi’s son Bay on the other. Mingo had his paws on Estaban's shoulder and was leaning heavily against his back. Elena had asked Estaban once why he decided to not marry or to adopt any children of his own, since despite his pompous exterior, he had the makings of a great father. His only response had been:
‘If I have ever had children, I would hope that would just be like you and your friends. Which is probably why I decided not to reproduce, so I will just stick to watching over and guiding your little ones instead.’
Well, it had mostly been a positive comment.
Elena was relieved that everything was going so well. She had planned many balls and festivals before, but she really wanted this to be something more simple and cozy, something to brighten all their spirits for the next year.
“Gotcha!” An arm wrapped around Elena’s waist and she was pulled into a warm and familiar chest.
Elena looked up to see the loving face of her husband and also caught sight of Naomi and Gabe as well.
All of them were together around a small fire that Naomi had not doubt built, keeping the ocean chill at bay.
“The King has caught the Queen?” Gabe said in a cheeky tone, his daughter Daniella passed out in his arms.
“Just Royal wizard and you know it,” Mateo replied. “Unless you want to start being addressed as Lord Gabe and Princess Naomi.”
Elena laughed loudly at the disgusted looks that twisted on their faces.
“Seriously though Elena, don’t be so busy that you can’t stay with us for a couple of minutes,” Naomi said as she passed her a mug of champurrado.
“I can’t really help it, I’m just so excited that we’re all together for Feliz Navidad,” Elena said as she took a long sip of the chocolatey drink. “We haven’t really been together since the Spring Love Festival.”
A strong breeze then blew in, causing Elena to shiver slightly. Mateo instantly brought her even closer to him, rubbing her arms to warm her up and nuzzling his face into her neck.
“Ugh, I see your kids haven’t stopped you two from being so gross,” Naomi said in a haughty tone as she pushed back a lock of colored hair, that was one strand of purple, dark blue, and bright blue. Something she had gotten not too long after she began her not so secret romance with her Sirena lover.
She was such a hypocrite.
Speaking of which. “How did Marzel do on your guy’s voyage to Corona? Does he finally have his sea legs?”
“For the most part,” Naomi said as she looked over her shoulder to see Marzel being utterly confused by some ornately crusted and designed piece of jewelry that Val was showing off. “He’s working mostly in the rigging now to work on his balance now that he’s not the clumsy Cabin boy anymore.”
“You would think he would’ve jumped pretty high in the ranks by now,” Elena noted.
“You know me too well Elena to know that I don’t give handouts to anyone, and he’ll have plenty of practice when Marzel, Bay and I head out to Norburg.” Naomi took another sip of her drink, “After that, we are heading back to Coronado since Marisa and Marzel want to start teaching Bay on the politics and landscape of the Kingdom.”
‘I see now,’ Elena thought to herself.
Though many had placed bets on it, Marisa had never shown any interest in marriage or even having children of her own. It didn’t mean she was any less a kind, compassionate, and wonderful Queen, but there had definitely been talk about who would take over once she served her reign. It seemed that they had made their decision on the matter and Elena was ecstatic to hear the news, though she did send her friends good fortune and strength about any challenges they may have from naysayers about having a ¼ Sirena heir on the throne.
“And what about you,” Naomi said as she turned to Gabe. “Are you going to be enjoy being a stay-at-home dad while your super smart science professor wife works at the academy?”
“Hardly,” Gabe said as he readjusted Dani. “Royal Preparatory Academy is a school full of other little royal students besides just my boys, with my wife, the princess, as faculty, and our Jaquin guardians.”
“Translation: Gabe is going to keep being the heroic soldier and Captain of the Guards at the school and they’ll never have to worry about safety again,” Mateo explained.
“And what about this little sweetheart?” Elena said as she motioned to her niece, “Is she going to be known by your new comrades as ‘Nina Captain’ as well?”
“She wouldn’t be my daughter if she doesn’t immediately make that first impression,” Gabe said as he kissed Dani’s forehead.
“Itchy papi,” Dani moaned in protest to Gabe’s stubble as she adjusted her head away from his face.
“And here I thought you would have finally gotten a dad haircut to go with that dad beard of yours,” Naomi jested.
“Just because you have a midlife crisis thing going on doesn’t mean you need to drag me into it,” Gabe joked as he pointed to her undercut. “And this hairstyle still goes with this facial hair. I would only need to change it if I grew a patch like Mateo.”
“Say whatever you want, but I’m proud of this,” Mateo said as he rubbed his facial hair. “Though the girl’s certainly loved pulling on it, thankfully Julian wasn’t as grabby.”
“How’s Olivia enjoying her new student?” Elena then asked, knowing full well that her son’s ‘they’re fine’ response to how his lessons were going wasn’t exactly the whole truth.
“Well,” Mateo said as he looked away from her. “He’s may have blown up the courtyard fountain the other day.”
“That sounds about right,” Elena responded, it only seemed natural that the poor fountain be abused a little by the next generation of magic users.
“So who’s taking over for you then while you’re gone then?” Naomi asked.
“Ricardo is.” Gabe then puffed up his chest slightly, “But I already told Isabel we’re not leaving until he can do everything forward, backwards, upside down, and blindfolded.”
Elena quirked up an eyebrow, she hardly believed that Isabel easily agreed to all those terms. But, she knew her sister probably had some tatic up her sleeve in case Gabe really did go too hard into soldier mode.
“Ricardo’s acting just like a new recruit,” Elena then noted, she had been quite surprised with the soldier's change in personality since he usually seemed so high and mighty. “It’s actually kind of adorable.”
“Oh is that so?” Gabe said with a sly grin.
“Do not do anything Gabe!”
“You better not Gabe,” Naomi said, “Ricardo’s going to have his hands full with the still very reckless and gravity defying Queen.”
“Hey, I can keep count how many times I actually do anything that extreme.”
“Oh boy, now there’s a drinking game for you,” Naomi said not-so-subtly to Gabe.
“And die of alcohol poisoning?” Mateo added.
“Hey!” Elena said as bumped her hip against his, “You’re supposed to be my backup. That might be considered some treasonous behavior to your Queen!”
All three of her friends though just immediately busted out into roaring laughter, not taking her threat at all seriously.
Elena of course laughed along with them, but in the middle of her giddiness, she felt some realization that stabbed into her. This may be one of the last navidads she had that felt…routine? Traditional? Whole? She wasn’t entirely sure. There were already so many changes going on, who knew what this new year would bring.
“What’s wrong?” Mateo then asked.
“Why would anything be wrong?”
“Your eyebrows are scrunching together and your nose it twitching,” Mateo said as he tapped her forehead. “You only do that when something is bothering you.”
Since when did he get so perceptive of her? Then again, she was never one to hide her emotions very well.
“It’s just weird to think that we’ve reached a point in our lives where we’ll all separate in different directions, but still come back together.” Elena looked down bashfully into her mug, “It’s just not for very long anymore.”
“But you know you’re not getting rid of me that easily,” Naomi said proudly. “Especially when you’ll need someone to take over as Supreme Commanding Master Chief Admiral once my mom steps down.”
“Are you really keeping that title?” Gabe asked.
“Well, we will have to throw Grand Council Member somewhere in there too.”
“I guess all we can really do is just to focus on the happy moments and make sure we can preserve them,” Mateo then said. “That way we can pull them out and use them as a source of power and goodness for when the bad times do come. Otherwise we’ll just keep ourselves worrying and stop moving forward.”
And with just that one sentence, Elena felt immense comfort. She smiled as she laced her fingers with his, “I believe you just earned a pardon from your Queen, Royal Wizard.”
Mateo returned her smile and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
Elena then turned towards her friends and proudly held her mug out. “To always being together.”
The other three immediately joined her in festive toast.
“To always being together.”
