I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning gray
we'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we've made
and you'll say, "oh my, we really were t i m e l e s s."
happy birthday @oneawkwardcookie 💖💖
[Image ID: 10 GIFs of Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz from 9-1-1, overlaid with lyrics from Taylor Swift's Timeless.
GIF 1: A painting and an open book on a black wooden table. The painting has an ornate gold frame. Inside the painting is a GIF of Buck hanging from the extended ladder of the ladder truck after he is struck by lightning. Partially on top of the painting, a book lies open with a GIF on either page, of Buck and Eddie respectively facing each other after Eddie is shot. The lyrics are stylised as text in the book, reading 'I came upon a book covered in cobwebs / story of a romance torn apart by fate.'
GIF 2: Two GIFs overlaid on top of each other. The first GIF shows Buck laying on the road staring at a fallen Eddie after Eddie is shot. The second shows Eddie yelling Buck's name as he rushes to get to Buck after Buck falls from the ladder truck. Both GIFs are blurred. The lyrics are stylised in old gothic font, reading 'somehow I know that you and I would've found each other / and I'd die for you in the same way.'
GIF 3: Eddie and Buck are in full turnout gear. Eddie is walking as the fire truck drives alongside him, with Buck hanging off of it. The GIF is tinted orange. The text reads 'if I first saw your face / on a crowded street in 1944.'
GIF 4: Two GIFs overlaid on top of each other. The first GIF shows Buck rushing out of Maddie's hospital after he gets her letter telling him that she can't run away with him. This GIF is black and white. The second shows Eddie in his army uniform getting on a helicopter. The text reads 'and you were headed off to fight in the war / you still would've been mine.'
GIF 5: Two GIFs overlaid on top of each other. The first GIF shows Buck as a bartender in Peru, listening to Connor tell him about LA. The second shows Eddie at his parents' house, listening as they tell him that they think Chirstopher should live with them. The text reads 'cause I belive that we were supposed to find this / even in a different life / you still would've been mine / we would've been timeless.'
GIF 6: The GIF has a crack down the middle. On the left of the crack, Buck begs his parents to love him despite him and Maddie not being perfect kids. On the right, Eddie breaks down after he learns that all his teammates from the army are dead. The GIF slowly transitions from colour to black and white. The text is aligned along the crack, reading 'time breaks down your mind and body / don't you let it touch your soul.'
GIF 7: Two GIFs overlaid on top of each other. The first GIF shows Buck turning around in the firehouse to see Eddie for the first time. The second shows Eddie grinning as he meets the team for the first time. The GIF has a papery texture to it. The text reads 'it was like an age old classic / the first time that you saw me.'
GIF 8: A piece of parchment paper. In a large square on the left side, Buck and Eddie shake hands after working together for the first time. On the right side, the lyrics are stylised like text in a book, reading 'the story started when you said hello.'
GIF 9: Two GIFs overlaid on top of each other, of Eddie and Buck covertly meeting each other's eyes in the middle of the firehouse. Eddie is in black and white while Buck is in colour. The text reads 'in a crowded room a few short years ago / sometimes there's no proof you just know.'
GIF 10: A pocket watch on the screen. Inside the pocket watch, a montage of Buck and Eddie through the years cycles repeatedly. The hour and minute hand of the pocket watch rotate clockwise. In the background, behind the pocket watch, the same series of GIFs is enlarged and blurred. Around the watch, stylised in old gothic font, the text reads 'you're always gonna be mine / we're gonna be timeless.'

she almost has the right posture!! if only her shoulders were rotated more,, her grip looks firm and the arc she's making is nice, if not a little too high. her veil is against every rule in the book, and she's only using one hand, but i'm so impressed by her transfer of weight that i'll give her a 7/10
awful. same as black pearl: there's no weight coming from anywhere, and definitely nothing is going to happen to that wood. he's only using one hand, and the arc is... there's no arc. its nonexistent. the only thing he's got going for him is that his eyes are open. 1/10
his coat is a giant hazard, he's one-handed, his eyes are closed, his stance is abysmal and honestly so bizarre i kind of respect it?? but no one is above safety measures. that being said, his grip is firm and he's chopping below his waist in a wide arc... even if its backwards. 3/10
same as parfait, the sleeves are worrying me. and she's not chopping low enough, but i can attribute that to her teeny-tiny size. you can see the axe wobble a bit on the peak of the swing, meaning her grip is loose and the axe is likely to fly out of her hand. will she care if she hurts someone? probably not. 1/10
.... i don't know how transfer of weight works in tripedal creatures,,,,,,,,, but i'm willing to say it almost looks like they're too excited for this job. there's too much rebound when the axe makes contact - it's swinging it too high and the messy arc makes them lose the momentum. good grip though. 2/10
it's very obvious she's learnt this in a book before actually doing it - you can practically hear her counting chop-2-3-chop-2-3... i'm also VERY happy she's using two hands. she's even placing her left hand at the top before sliding it down as she swings!! although her right hand is a little too high, and she's definitely not strong enough: you can see the axe wobble upon contact. 9/10
i am NOT a fan of the way they hug it to themselves, it literally maximises the chance of it flying out of their grip. also they're FLYING, which explains the odd angle of the axe at the bottom of the swing. other than that their form is good, they're just not likely to get any clean cuts. if you want splinters this is who you call. 3/10
he's whipping it up and down past his head like a tomahawk!! i can't figure this out!! i suppose the explanation would be he's too tall for whatever he's chopping, but, like, he's chopping almost at shoulder height! he has a strong centre of gravity though. he's rotating his shoulders and you can very clearly see the transfer of weight in his legs, which is nice, but his arm is clipping through his pauldron to get there! 5/10
i know their suit probably hinders movement a lot, but their grip is flimsy and they're likely to pull a muscle from the lack of back support.... or at least they would be, were they not full of water. there's no arc or balance. they glance at the axe before they swing. but they're still getting pity points for being a sentient fishbowl. 2/10
while she displays a safe, low swing and a strong chop, i'm disappointed in her one-handedness, especially as someone who should know this. she has no centre of gravity; if she's whipping the axe up that fast she's going to fall over. there's the slightest shift in her left leg, which i guess looks positive but honestly is the only thing not keeping her from falling. 2/10
Also Rinne gets easily flustered by genuine affection and this is a hill I will die on
Anyway finally rinniki kiss and rinne is just losing it internally. He's blushing so hard he's a mess.
I actually love how that's canon 'cause we see multiple instance of that like in main story Feather Touch with Hiiro
And that one clip of the Dream Live where Hiiro is excited to perform with his brother and all Rinne says is “O—oh—“
Anyways those fics where it’s like “his face turned as red as his hair” yeah that’s exactly what he’d do. Niki does a whole one hit KO on him physically and emotionally
i'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe
or if you strike out and you're crawling home.
happy birthday, @oneawkwardcookie! ❤

rating cookie's forms while chopping wood part two
by someone who's taken classes
immediately, i'm struck by the fact that they're not only using one hand, their other hand is.... supporting their arm? PLUS their legs are CROSSED??, and not only does that mean they could pull a muscle, all their strength is coming from their shoulder, which puts them at high risk of dislocating something if they swing it any faster. 1/10
strawberry my beloved you've restored my faith. she doesn't have a tight grip of the axe, but she is holding it near the head and then sliding down as she swings. YES. she's not angled right but she gets a pass because shes 13. 9/10
oh good lord. they start off alright, but then??? let go?? of the axe, making it look like they're throwing it at the wood like a swingball...?. . points for being funny but that is a terrifying thing to do with an axe. also, another child that should not be chopping wood. 4/10
gramps? are you using magic sparkles to chop wood again? whatever. he's swinging it below his waist in a very nice arc, and has his hand firmly enough around the axe for me not to be nervous, but again, one hand. i really hope the flower can see for him. 6/10
DTUFJZTJDTXJUTDTZZKSKSJS he fucking HATES this on god look at him. not only that, but hitting this with your non-dominant hand and backwards is likely to hurt AND take a long ass time on top of every other thing he's doing wrong. 0/10 i'm just sorry they did this to u king
okay it's. kind of impossible to chop wood completely safely with. yknow. one arm. soooo ig she's angled herself right and she gets 5/10
i wish his right hand was a liiiiittle higher at the peak of the swing, but other than that he's doing very well!,!... is what i would say if his eyes weren't fuckin closed!!! and WHERE pray tell is your passion?!?! 7/10!!!!
stepping forward as you swing is very wrong and dangerous, and, shes not holding it right. it looks like shes hitting below her waist, but thats moot if she's swinging so far she could dislocate something. 2/10
swinging the axe behind your head and out of your peripherals is SO dangerous oh my god. the arc is nice, but she's holding it by the end of the handle which means it could so easily slip out of her hands. however, i don't doubt she doesn't know what she's doing. 3/10
NOPE! his clothes are a huge goddamn hazard, he's holding the axe by the end, his body is completely forward and he's hitting at face height!!! he's likely to get more splinters than firewood, 1/10
