Firstly, good luck on the LGI video !! I think anyone who even tries to analyze tha embodiment of a stroke (/pos) that is that video deserves a medal, a hug, and a therapy session Secondly, considering you are a Veronika stan I was wondering if you had any theories in regards to her backstory, as I really feel like besides Hu and maybe David, she is the character who we know the least about in terms of her past. And I've been thinking about that a lot, especially since I think she will play a massive role in the conflicts of Chapter 3 (similar to the role Ace has played in Chapter 2) And considering what her secret is theorized to be by basically the entire community, her comment about how she used to be an outdoors person (implying something happened that made it so she wasn't one anymore), her lolita fashion sense implying that her family is at least somewhat wealthy because god those dresses are expensive, and whoever the fuck Alyssa Belyaeva is. I feel like she has some juicy stuff that's just waiting to be speculated by more people

Thanks for the well wishes! I probably will need therapy after that video, geez.

Anyways, no more David here, let’s talk Veronika! You are right in calling me a stan, even thinking about her is enough to get me to smile like a dummy. And you’re right, there is so much to speculate on with this freak! I agree she’ll probably have a bigger role soon, and there is clearly something that went deeply wrong in her childhood. Otherwise, how would she get this awesome? I love her.

I can't get anything conclusive for obvious reasons, but I have come up with what I think is an interesting theory about her backstory.

CW: Self-harm, speculation on child neglect and psychiatric wards

First, let me compile everything you brought up and a few more things.

+Veronika used to be an outdoors person, but isn’t anymore. She even likes skateboarding! Presumably because her talent requires her to be indoors a lot, but there’s a good chance there’s something more traumatic at play.

+She despises boredom over all else, and at times, not even horror is enough to satiate her thirst for thrills. “That's why I liked horror for such a long time. […] But in the end, fiction is only fiction”. Tsumugi kinnie spotted!

+Whenever she finds something exciting, she can’t help but get addicted. That’s an odd way for her to phrase that, but sure.

+She has a deep interest in psychology and horror, as we all know.

+Like you said, it’s possible her parents are quite wealthy, as she enjoys expensive lolita fashion, as well as “weird” and “exotic” foods, apparently.

+Her favorite color is white in the presence of other colors, as it makes them stand out, and her least favorite is white without other colors, since she considers it soulless. What a weirdo /affectionate.

+The hidden quote on her page is “Once something is broken, it can never be pieced together in quite the same way again. The same goes for people.” Spooky!

(I’m not bringing up Mai on this post, no shot I’m getting into that mess again)

+Her secret is most often speculated to be “You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun”. Now, watch that be Levi’s and she’s actually the murderer without remorse, I think that’d be funny. But yeah, the self-harm secret is most likely hers.

+Alyssa Belyaeva is/was her dearest friend, the person who gifted her the green triangle earring she wears.

This “dearest friend” is so odd. Like, on one hand, the fact the dev originally neglected to name her because they didn’t want to put too much emphasis on mostly unimportant characters (I wish I could find the actual wording they used, but I can’t see all the answers of the Q&A for some reason) would suggest she’s not too relevant. But on the other hand, her impact is literally etched into Veronika’s design via the earring, and…

Well, listen. She was Veronika’s friend. Not only did Veronika like her, which already implies something’s wrong with her, Alyssa actually liked Veronika back. Oh, there is something wrong wrong with this girl.

So, yeah, don’t know if she’s going to be relevant. I tried looking up the green triangle, see if it meant anything, but I didn’t see anything that looked related. I also looked up Alyssa’s name to see if it meant anything. “Alyssa” means “noble” or “truth”, which I don’t get anything from, and “Belyaeva” is just derived from “white (blond) hair”. Wikipedia, make up your mind, is it white or blond?

Although that does give me a headcanon idea, that Alyssa has white hair but dresses very colorfully, and that’s why Veronika’s favorite color is white in the presence of others.

Yo, watch me get attached to a character we have even less information on than goddamn Elliot Cuevas and Felicity Giles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, the problem with Veronika is clear. There’s a lot there, but we’re also missing a fuckton, which makes it really hard to theorize about her. It feels like we’re missing some kind of through-line which actually connects all the loose concepts surrounding this girl. The most sensible answer here is that it’s impossible to gather anything conclusive about her backstory within the bounds of sanity.

…

But you didn’t ask me to speculate so I would remain within the bounds of sanity, did you? You wanna see the craziness come in, yeah? Well, let’s go crazy.

The Inevitable Descent Into Insanity

Veronika likes skateboarding.

It’s something I mentioned off-handedly before, but let’s think about it for a second. While there is such a thing as an indoor skatepark, when most of us think of skateboarding, I imagine most of us jump to the idea of skateboarding outside. I feel, if Veronika truly only liked indoor skateboarding, that would be made more explicit, you know? Like how Levi’s profile states he likes “suckers (candy)”.

And if that’s the case, we can gather three things.

>Veronika isn’t bored of the outside.

>Veronika isn’t scared of the outside.

>More people need to draw Veronika skateboarding /lh

This is a bit of stretch, and I don’t have any more evidence she doesn’t have trauma from being outdoors, but that’s not all for boredom. She clearly enjoyed playing in the playground, which was indoors, but was still ultimately a playground. That makes her being bored of the outside even more unlikely.

But if she didn’t get bored of the outside, why did she pick up a talent that is explicitly only possible indoors? Well, I want to take a closer look at how that secret is worded.

“You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun”

What’s interesting here is that she only took on her talent to stop herself from harming herself. This could imply that, while she obviously enjoys horror a lot, she doesn’t enjoy it as much as what she was doing before. After all, if she did, she would have also picked it up simply because it was more fun, and the secret’s wording would be odd.

And there’s more. What I imagine most of us think when we read this is “Veronika got so bored of everything else, she started hurting herself to stave off her boredom”. But, at the risk of sounding morbid, how was she hurting herself? Because I feel most of us jump to the idea of cutting (that’s why everyone mentions her wrists being covered when talking about her secret), but that’s not the only way people self harm. And, sorry if this sounds insensitive, but cutting doesn’t really seem “fun” to me. Like, obviously all self-harm is bad for you, but that in particular doesn’t seem too entertaining.

Why am I talking about this? Well, I want to bring attention to something she tells Teruko in CH 2 EP 7:

Veronika: “The idea that I could screw up my life at any time, that I could make a fatal mistake that I can’t undo… That’s real fear. So it excites me.”

Veronika was seemingly talking about the killing game here, but what if she’s not? She seems to be talking as if she has more experience with this sort of thing than just the killing game. And in particular, the use of the word “excites me” is interesting when paired with the line I called out earlier: “Whenever I find something that’s exciting, I can’t help but get addicted”.

So, if she found a way to constantly put herself in dangerous situations where one mistake would cost her her life, she would get addicted to it. Is this fair to say?

And this is where I bring you back, and draw a link between her love for the outdoors, her secret, her talent, and this idea. I’ve connected the dots-

(I didn’t connect shit)

I’ve connected them. Here goes:

Whenever Veronika played outside, she would feel the need to injure herself and put herself in unnecessarily dangerous situations, so she could feel the fear of making a fatal mistake she can’t undo. She only took on being a Horror Fanatic to distract from this need, as indoors, there aren’t as many exciting ways for her to injure herself.

That insane enough? I feel it sorta makes sense. If you think about it, this would mean at some point, Veronika would have to decide between throwing herself at horror or continuing her path to becoming the Ultimate Skateboarder, and the only reason she chose horror was… well, she would need to really go out of her way to injure herself while watching a horror movie.

Meanwhile, whenever she was outside, it would be easier to harm herself. Stand on a swing (like we see her do in the series), fall from a height, ram into something on a skateboard. Most of the injuries wouldn’t be too severe, but they would add up, and depending on what she was doing, I imagine some of them could be a bit worse. And whenever that happened, she would feel more excited than before, get more addicted, and constantly look for ways to injure herself more, and worse, and worse. Perhaps even injuring herself before going out, so she could be in the maximum amount of pain possible.

But there may have been other reasons she was doing this. This is where the “wealthy parents” may come in. Stereotypically speaking, wealthy parents are often depicted as neglectful, more preoccupied with work than with their children. Think- Oh, well, think Mariabella, actually. That’s obviously not always the case, but it does happen.

And if this is the case, it’s possible she was also, subconsciously, harming herself as a call for help. As a way to get the attention she needed. There would have been better ways to go about it, but self-harming is sort of inherently irrational.

In fact, maybe I am really going completely insane, but I think there’s an exchange where something like this can be inferred? In CH 2 EP 2, when Veronika falls off the swing.

Veronika: “Ehehe! I’m fine! Don’t worry!”

Teruko: “I’m not worried about you. If your body was fragile enough to break from a light fall like that, then you wouldn’t have done something so stupid”

Veronika: “It’s fun to stand on swings, okay? It makes me feel tall. I didn’t know that these ones would be quite so slippery”

Veronika: “But really, I’m not hurt at all. The ground is very soft”

Now, let’s be clear. I am probably reading way too much into this, and this was probably just a quick way to transition to the point of the ground being soft. But it always struck me as odd that Veronika feels the need to tell Teruko she wasn’t hurt twice, even after Teruko had taken her at her word before.

So, hear me out, maybe that was force of habit. Like, she always (intentionally) injured herself while playing around, then Alyssa or someone else would be concerned about her, and fuss over her. Then, Veronika would have to repeatedly state she was fine, because the whole point was that she wanted to keep playing after hurting herself. And Alyssa would be concerned, but eventually brush it off with a laugh. Or, knowing the type of friends Veronika gets, maybe Alyssa would also have the habit of hurting herself alongside Veronika-

I am not going to get attached to a character we have only a name for. I am not going to get attached to a character we have only a name for. I am not going to get attached to a character we have only a name for-

Anyways, again, I’m probably reading too much into that line, it’s very likely Veronika just said she was okay again to get to the point about the floor being soft.

Anyways, that’s sort of the main idea of my speculation! That she harmed herself by playing outside to make it more exciting. All we’re missing is what made her decide to stop hurting herself, and an explanation for the quote on her page, the one about people breaking. I assume they’re likely related, but I can’t give a solid answer. So here’s a few possibilities:

>When her parents found out, they said she was “broken” and sent her to a (likely under 18) psychiatric ward. This could explain why she considers the color white on its own “soulless”. I mean, I doubt under 18 psychiatric wards look that depressing, and I couldn’t find conclusive images in Google, but I did see some white, so maybe! The reason I’m not too sure is that I really don’t know much about under 18 psychiatric wards, and while I did try to do some research, I don’t exactly feel like being in more lists than I’m already probably on, you feel?

>A bit more worrying, perhaps her parents were the ones who tried to “””fix””” her, and they did something bad to her. I can’t comment much more on this idea, as any further ideas tend more towards fanfic than actual speculation.

>Maybe the one who “””broke””” was actually Alyssa, and either she was sent to a psych ward or something happened to her that made her “soulless”. I don’t like tying Alyssa too closely to Veronika’s backstory, because of the whole “she might not be important” thing, but it’s there. However, it’s important to note, if something did happen to Alyssa, Veronika likely wouldn’t be at fault, otherwise it would likely be mentioned in her secret.

>There's also a possibility Veronika stopped self harming on her own or, more likely, with proper therapy (so proud of her if that's the case!), and the "broken" thing refers to something she'll do in the killing game. I don't know if what I'm about to say really makes sense, but while I've always imagined Veronika saying her line with her "shadow over eyes" sprite, I guess it's possible she would actually say it with one of her "Junko-ish" or "deranged smile" sprites. I'm imagining something like: she drives Arturo absolutely insane, laughs about how horrible he's gotten, and with a malicious, wide smirk, she tells everyone: "Arturo is broken, and nothing will put him back together again. How entertaining!" Something like that. I really just want her to do something extremely fucked up, I think she deserves to have some fun :D

And there's my whole theory about Veronika's backstory! Even though it's probably completely wrong, I hope it satisfied your craving for speculation on the resident freak. And thanks for reading! If you made it this far, you deserve a good friend that loves you just like you are, like Alyssa! Take care!

Buck & Eddie Parallels: Like fathers, like son

3x12 Eddie: “Uh, you know what I can’t do?” Christopher: “Cook?”

5x11 Buck: “This is really good. Carla you can come on out. Where are you?” Eddie: “All this time everybody thought I was a bad cook”. Christopher: “You were”.

3x18 Buck: “Sounds a lot like child labor”

5x14 Christopher: “That’s sounds like work”

Buck and Christopher not only look alike (even though they aren’t biologically related); they also act alike. They have their inside jokes about Eddie’s cooking and they both think children’s recreational activities should be viewed like child labor or work. Eddie and Buck are Christopher’s co-parents but Eddie is Christopher’s biological father while Buck is his legal guardian. Buck and Christopher spend a lot of time together going to the L.A. Zoo and now their mannerisms are practically identical.

GIF #1 3x12 “Fools” Eddie had a conversation with Christopher to explain how there would be some activities he may not be able to participate in after he fell off a skateboard while he was at school. Christopher said that he wanted to be like all the other kids and then said, “But you can skateboard”. Eddie replied, “Uh, but you know what I can’t do?” and Christopher replied, “Cook?”. They both laughed and Eddie said, “That’s not nice”. In 5x11 “Outside Looking In”, The Buckley-Diaz Family were having dinner (that’s right it was just the three of them and thanks to editing software, there was no one else present) and Buck complimented Eddie on his cooking when he said, “This is really good. Carla you can come on out. Where are you?”. Eddie replied, “All this time everybody thought I was a bad cook” and then Christopher said, “You were”. Christopher has always known that Eddie couldn’t cook and Buck knows he couldn’t cook either; therefore when Eddie cooked a full meal, including dessert, Buck and Christopher laughed at Buck’s comment and they both teased Eddie since the food tasted really good. Eddie and Buck are Christopher’s two dads and whenever they’re all together, Christopher and Buck team up against Eddie and wait for him to stop them from having fun (read blog post: “Buck & Eddie: Good Cop vs. Bad Cop Parenting” for more on The Buckley-Diaz Family).

GIF #2 3x18 “What’s Next?” Eddie took Christopher’s summer camp brochure to the firehouse and Buck started freaking out about it. He said, “Summer Camp?” and Eddie replied, “That’s all he can talk about. Some of the other kids from school are going. It’s only two weeks”. Buck said, “Two weeks? Isn’t Chris kind of young for that? I mean what if something happens? What if he gets homesick?” but Eddie said, “I’m pretty sure I brought in the brochure so that you all could make me feel better about him going”. Eddie explained the activities they would be doing like picking vegetables on a farm and cooking but Buck replied, “Sounds a lot like child labor to me!” In 5x14 “Dumb Luck” Buck took Eddie and Christopher to Equine Therapy and while they were there, Christopher was going to ride a horse. He asked the employee who was giving them a tour, “When do I get to ride one?” and she responded, “First I’m going to introduce you to all the horses. And then I’m going to show you how to groom them and feed them. And then you’re going to walk around on a leed”. Christopher said, “That sounds like work”. Buck and Christopher both felt like children being made to do activities before they can have fun is like child labor or work. Buck and Christopher think, respond and act a lot alike; therefore Christopher’s mannerisms are a lot like those both of his dads’ exhibit. They are a family.

Poor Miya lost in the first 4 minutes of the episode, with the intro playing directly afterwards.

Poor Reki was so sad that he didn't even consider his skateboard for a moment.

Poor Langa is sad too. Reki didn't even show up to school.

adam is being creepy again. Dude literally said "Could it be the wedding blues?" As an immediate response to seeing Langa sad on all his weird TV monitors.

Poor Reki got into a fight.

SHADOW GOT HIT BY A BASEBALL BAT! And of course adam organized it.

Reki's manager is the ultimate mvp. He found him beat up in an alley and gave Reki the pep talk he needed.

He ran to the hospital but bailed after seeing Langa. Dude needs therapy at this rate.

Miya! Give him that pep-talk!

Reki just got hit by a freaking car. Oh, so THAT’S how he ends up at the love hotel scene. I love how getting kidnapped made him realize that he loves skating again.

"Reki, my love...of skateboarding"

Aww they're skateboarding together. And Langa remembered his dad too. They finally made up! The entire scene was super fruity

adam was being creepy again and was watching them from a drone. Reki's gonna take Shadow's spot in the tournament. Very interesting development.

Episode 10 was nice

I’m still thinking about that phone call in episode two of Physical Therapy.

“Ja’s dead.”

“What?”

“Yeah his car fell off a cliff.”

“Oh.”

*immediately goes to skateboarding in an attempt for an injury worthy of hospital admittance*

WHAT IN THE WORLD HOW WAS THERE SO LITTLE EMOTION IN THAT SCENE IM SCREAMING

#physical therapy #physical therapy the series #physical therapy bl #the reactions to that phone call were WAY too tame #I’d be freaking the fuck out #and then it wasn’t even the skateboard that caused an injury #he got pushed by a dog and slipped a disc

party headcanons for the soul

after the byers family moves, max sends el long letters in the mail about what’s happening in hawkins and little notes she and lucas and dustin have passed back-and-forth in class so that el can still feel included in their group (because max knows how bad it feels to feel distant/excluded from the party)

mike and will have nightly phone calls where they plan campaigns for thanksgiving and winter break— they get so into it sometimes that mike forgets to come down for dinner or will completely abandons his homework

joyce and murray stay in touch and sometimes he visits them to rattle off conspiracy theories and keep them in-the-know about hawkins

also, murray is OBSESSED with el and will because, hello— el has superpowers and was raised in a lab?! will survived a week in an alternate dimension AND a possession?! he has lots of questions and they act like they’re annoyed, but really they both think he’s hilarious

jonathan shows el his stereo and gets her into the talking heads, the clash, the psychedelic furs, and the cure. whenever she’s upset or has a bad day at school, she listens to them on the walkman max gave her

mike goes to max when he realizes he’s in love with will. she’s frustrated at first (“so you were just USING el this whole time?!” “max, i didn’t even know i liked guys! jesus, i’m trying to ask for advice here!”) but once she realizes how freaked out he is, she’s supportive and encourages him to talk to will about it.

lucas sends will comics in the mail, and will sends lucas drawings of a character will’s based off of him— the hero’s superpowers include “earth-shaking sarcasm” and “ability to shoot fireworks from his fingertips”. lucas loves the drawings and puts them up on his bedroom wall.

el and will have nightly “therapy sessions” on will’s bedroom floor, except they don’t actually talk. they just draw with crayons or read to each other, because they both find the most comfort in distraction.

sometimes steve gets bored at family video and calls jonathan (because dustin knows the byers’ home phone number by heart) to debate with him about his taste in movies and music. jonathan acts like he hates it, but he never hangs up first.

robin and steve play a running game at work where they whisper-narrate customers’ inner monologues when they’re out of earshot. they also dub over customers’ voices if they’re talking in the store.

mike starts working multiple jobs to save up for will’s birthday gift— a realistic wizard’s staff just like the drawings will made when they first came up with will the wise. it has “crazy together” engraved on it.

nancy babysits erica when lucas has basketball games to go to.

whenever lucas and max are in a fight and have to sit together with the party at lunch, dustin plays mediator/couple’s therapist while mike tries to get them to fight even more. (“you know, max, lucas told me he actually did remember your anniversary, he just wasn’t sure what to get you so he pretended to forget.” “mike, you’re not helping!” “who said i was trying to?”)

el really wants a dog and begs joyce daily for one. will gets dragged into the campaign and makes protest-style posters that they parade around the house with whenever the topic comes up.

dustin and el talk on cerebro every week— most of their conversations consist of complaining about how dramatic their friends are. sometimes dustin will ask el her opinion on lucas and max’s latest conflict, and her answer is always to tell max to dump his ass.

mike and max start getting closer after he comes out to her, and she teaches him how to skateboard one day when the rest of the party is busy. he’s terrible at it and ends up spraining his ankle, but it’s the most fun he’s had since the byerses moved away.

robin draws on steve’s hands when she’s bored.

max and dustin make running commentary to each other whenever their teachers show the class a video or a movie.

nancy always plays madonna in the car when she drives mike to work, and he complains about it but ends up actually liking some of her music. when he mentions it to will on the phone, will laughs for a minute straight. (“what?! stop laughing at me, lucky star is a classic!” “mike, i need to convert you to the cure.”)

mike tries to call will but el picks up instead, and they end up having a long heart-to-heart about mike’s feelings for will. he apologizes profusely, and el, while a little upset that he lied to her, says it’s okay. when they’re finally done hashing everything out, she asks him if girls can like other girls. mike is just like “THAT’S your take-away?” but internally he’s freaking out because holy shit, are el and max a thing?

steve helps lucas practice before every basketball tournament. dustin watches them from the sidelines and cheers whenever lucas gets past steve.

the party goes to all of lucas’ basketball games and is obnoxiously loud. they make giant signs with glitter— courtesy of erica’s craft supplies collection— and blow noisemakers when he scores a point. lucas acts embarassed and annoyed with them for it, but he secretly loves it.

mike starts letting his hair grow out, and holly likes practicing braiding it while he does his homework at the kitchen table. when she gets it tangled, he threatens to cut it, but they both know he won’t.

el gets really into experimenting with makeup, and sometimes will asks if he can borrow her eyeshadow to wear at home. he likes being artistic with it and el ends up liking his technique so much that he becomes her personal makeup artist.

el sends mike a photo of will wearing eyeshadow in the mail and he immediately calls her and deadpans, “never speak to me again.” el just giggles and hangs up because will’s looking at her weird.

portwell shoulder bump

ASHLYN I LOVE YOU

OH SO NOW YOU HAVE DRILLS

WHERE WERE THEY WHEN THE TECHIES STARTED USING GLUE ON PLYWOOD!?!?!?!

I WANT ANSWERS

i. cannot. with. this. show.

lily wtf

“is this too weird” yes

like why?

lily like actually shut up

big red’s “wtf”

let her be evil damnit

“i’m just not well liked here” i wonder why

that was really weird, anyways

“he gets weird around tools”

me too

no give big red the drill he knows how to use it

someone write a fic about the girls and seb’s chaotic target run

why don’t you have a blackout and dramatic music and lights for the transformation, i know it isn’t award level but if done right it can be pretty dope

“I don’t know if my parents will be okay with me being at a co-ed sleepover”

“Chip, this is your mother speaking, go call your mother”

HE DID THE FINGER GUNS

GAY TABLE SIT AND FINGER GUNS THEY DID THEIR RESEARCH

ashlyn’s bucket

CARLOS GAY TABLE SIT

OH MY GOD

they’re so gay soulmates

let big red have his skateboards

“i need to talk to seb at some point but it can wait” honey no it can’t wait seb is on the verge of a breakdown

wait they havent talked in a week

Im a hypocrite ive been dancing around someone for three years

“You’re still at school”

“I’m worried about my children” “She means us”

such a high school theater thing (like i got married during high school theater, we had a family tree)

“ah, Sebby”

“Now I’m pretty sad” give him a hug

the girls ship seblos

“But, I guess he has to be, out of default, right... there’s not a lot of choices for a boy like Carlos, here, at East.”

alright here come the tears

why...why couldn’t he say “gay” or “queer” or “lgbt”?!?!

“Not so good at saying the feelings part out loud”

shiz that hit close to home.

Seb is just making me cry today, isn’t he?

wait so we’re just going to change the subject? coming from a queer person, opening up about your problems about your sexuality is hard. like, there are things that happened years ago im just telling people.

“You’re my sister, he’s my cousin”

it seems everyone except nina knows about the chocolates. imagine gossip time when gina told people write a fic

Nini just stop talking. It wasn’t a big deal, simple mistake. Not everything has to be big and dramatic

and wasn’t she just asking about Gina and Ej?

Nini for the love of god it is not something to read into.

“The farmer type”

Ash and Red exchanging gossip

wait... why are they texting about this?

“Why wouldn’t he say something to me?” It’s a hard conversation to have. “hey are we together just because i’m your only option?”

“Okay, pretty boy” HE CALLED HIM PRETTY BOY

RICKY!!!!!!!!!!

!!!

carlos and gina chaotic siblings

give ej a hug

“Sweet boy”

im so glad the guys are talking about their feelings.

Why a sleepover? It’s more of a hangout.

“Verging on failure”

jennzara therapy

slowwww burn

you go from hand holding to fist bump

disney please release an acoustic version of “let you go”

so it’s just carlos and ricky chillin’ at big red’s house?

do not play let you go for nini

do. not.

“You guys are a hallmark movie”

for once ricky is being smart

“the look on your face when you were talking about Seb tonight” smiles

he is so whipped

“I think you and Seb have something worth fighting for...bro”

that was so sweet and then there is bro

i love this show

“Sorry, I’m adjusting to being called bro”

him and seb being awkward about feelings... that is a high school relationship

i love ricky in this scene

“Yeah, let’s just write”

ASHLYN CALLED BIG RED BABE AWWWWW

nina shut the actual hell up

“It’s in the costume shop, somewhere” mood

“Thank you, 15″ THEY SAID THE THING

GAHHHH

I LOVE IT

howie and kourtney oh my god what is happening

“and begging”

“hi” he’s so nervous oh my lord.

he is so awkward around seb

it’s like a switch

“Do you want to get risotto with me sometime” OH MY GOD THATS ADORABLE

GINA BABY HE LIKES YOU

GINA HONEY!!!

AWWW THAT WAS ADORABLE

PORTWELL YESSSS

gina’s little run

“Am I in trouble?”

they’re so nervous

oh my god its time

“You keep it all bottled up” GUYS I CANT ARGGGG

can ricky just like, go behind a curtain?

“lookin’ for our kind of love” carlos basically just said “i love you”

seb is so whipped like look at him?

they’re so in love

seb’s little eye role at “in a heartbeat, i choose you”

the hands omfg

oh my god they’re going to dance

SHIZ THE HOMECOMING SUITS

I WAS RIGHT

OH MY GOD

SHIT GUYS IM DYING

gah the hands i cant

carlos is leading i love it

the tie

a tie just killed me

im combusting

You’re honor, they’re in love

i really thought carlos was going in for a kiss he is probably getting one later

i like how the dance isn’t big, it’s small and a little awkward bc right then it’s just them.

THEYRE SO IN LOVE HOLY SHIT

damnit big red

big red is legally required to interrupt almost kiss moments especially if it’s an lgbt kiss bc we cant have two in one season

in a heartbeat is so cute. Frankie showed UP this season with the vocals. there is no way that was all acting bc they looked so in love.

I...I love it

the lyrics are perfect

In a Heartbeat and Let You Go are probably the best OG songs of the season

“Siri, add In a Heartbeat to my gay sob playlist”

these boys are just serenading each other left and right

“Yeah”

so it’s just “yeah”!?!? That’s it!?!?! Seb could have least kissed him on the cheek or did they use all their kisses?

I love the song and love the scene, but there is so much more to discuss. Are we going to brush over the fact that Seb literally had an allergic reaction and didn’t get help because he didn’t want to disappoint Carlos!?!? Are we going to brush over “no, seb” and seb feeling like he has to get carlos big things!?! One “yeah” doesn’t erase all that. I’m hoping we get closure, proper closure, not a joke.

In conclusion, only one thing was settled (Carlos loves Seb for Seb, not because he is the only out guy in school).

“Seb and Carlos suffer their first fight” effing liars

BTW it looks like they filmed the dance scene with the homecoming suits and normal outfits so disney release the footage

Ricky is the biggest Seblos shipper

“Bro”

you morons. are you using rigging without an adult there?!?!

im pretty sure that isn’t allowed. only trained people were allowed to use the rigging. it should be Natalie since she did it in HSM

you should have gotten mats are something or stand in a circle

gahhh

RICKY

OH MY FRICKING GOD

NO ONE RAN THEY JUST WATCHED WTF

WTF WAS THAT ENDING

UMMMMM NO

i legit have no words oh my god

they just killed the lead

you guys saw the rope you should have ran

you should have gotten mats or blankets or something just in case

rigging is difficult, set rigging and people rigging

EAST HIGH WTF

Looks like the sleepover is going to be in the ER

My gay heart is full but my theater heart is screaming. The episode went by really fast. I liked it, like a lot.

To answer the question, no, I am not okay @organic-guacamole and we will have a theater kid sleepover

My Aaron Hcs

i was shocked and disturbed to realize that i have not yet shared my aaron hc’s so here ya go (this is pretty lighthearted but beware of themes of trauma and abuse similar to canon):

he doesn’t drink

when he got sober he got completely sober and now he doesn’t drink at all—there’s plenty of virgin drinks for him on Eden’s nights

he does, however, drink coffee pretty regularly

purely black, and whenever someone calls him on it he replies, “what can i say. i’m a masochist.”

he’s a beanie guy

perfect for pulling down over his face when he wants to lay low, covers his ears, covers his beadhead, goes well with any outfit

he wears them all the time

he definitely skateboards

and he’s really good at it?? no one knows when he had time to learn but he can skate like a pro

he’s incredibly intelligent both in an academic sense and a street-smart sense

he can do college level calculus and also replace the muffler on his car without any sort of manual/instructions

he has one mechanical pencil that he’s used since the fifth grade

he just keeps replacing the lead and erasers

he has a lot of internalized homophobia and racism because of how he was raised but when nicky brings this to his attention he honest to god tries to get better

he reads a lot of inclusive media

obviously he’s not perfect but i think he works really hard, especially after graduation and a few years of therapy when he’s in a better head space

he actually really enjoys testing his own ideals and making himself think

which means he loves philosophy

he doesn’t take any classes on it but he has five philosophy textbooks and is constantly checking out books and biographies on philosophers from the library

he likes to go to flea markets on saturday mornings

he’ll find expensive pieces of furniture and haggle the price down by like 50% before proclaiming that he’s not looking to buy anyway

he never leaves with anything other than like a trinket for katelyn

he definitely loves podcasts

but not pretentious podcasts

he listens to humorous, satirical, story-telling, and entertainment podcasts

he listens to *insert your favorite light-hearted podcast* alllllll the time

but he listens to them really stoically, especially in public

idk he just doesn’t really listen to music but he also doesn’t enjoy being alone with his thoughts or thinking too hard when it comes to entertainment so he just pops in his earbuds and listens to strangers crack jokes for an hour

he actually really enjoys hanging out with kevin

they have the same sense of dry humour

they also treat each other like normal people

everyone else sees kevin as an exy-loving freak and aaron as an apathetic asshole and the foxes handle them with cautious pity because of their pasts

but together they just kinda vibe and they allow the other to exist outside of the box everyone else keeps them in

i’m sure that makes no sense lol but kevin and aaron vibe!! and while i am not personally a kevaaron shipper i understand the compatibility

and of course, aaron loves katelyn

a lot

like, he never ever trusted women (or anyone really) because of his mother but the moment he met katelyn he knew he wanted to spend his whole life with her

he feels safe and understood by her and he does his best to make her feel safe and understood

he’s a good guy, and he exists outside of the “tiny homophobic asshole” box we tend to put him in

ok here’s my ‘free tadashi 2k21′ AU:

Kiriko doesn’t get shoved aside for no freaking reason and instead gets to lead a search on Adam’s house

Along with finding proof of perjury or whatever politician bullshit she was originally investigating Adam for, Kiriko’s search party also find Adam’s creepy screen room and learn about S, Adam’s assaults on other people, and his literal stalking of Langa and Reki

After Adam and Langa’s beef, Kiriko and the cops show up to arrest Adam

Adam gets charged with perjury, aggravated assault, stalking, etc. and goes the fuck to jail, where he also receives court mandated therapy because god knows he needs it

Also before he gets arrested, Joe decks Adam across the face, it’s very cathartic

(Adam’s aunts also get jailed for Politician Crimes or whatever because I fucking hate them and they deserve consequences for their horrible actions)

Tadashi gets taken in for questioning and although he is technically an accomplice (or like? complicit bystander??) considering he’s literally been in the Shindo family’s service since he was a child he doesn’t get charged with anything since its not as if he was ever taught he could have any other option besides complacency

Tadashi also gets therapy because he has lot of deep seated guilt and toxic ideas he needs to work through

Maybe after they’ve both worked through some of their issues and grown separately as individuals Tadashi and Adam agree to start up a tentative friendship again, as equals

Kiriko gets a promotion but because it’s actually what she deserves, not because the writers needed an excuse for her to not search Adam’s place

Ok here’s where this AU becomes complete self indulgence:

Since he’s not working as a secretary for Adam/the Shindos any more Tadashi is left job hunting and eventually ends up in a full time position at DOPE SKETCH, maybe as an accountant?

Tadashi gets adopted into the skateboarding found family as a weird chill uncle/older cousin figure and gets to re-discover his own love for skating and how fun it is

Tadashi and Oka get together purely because I think it’d be funny and also Tadashi deserves nice things to happen in his life

After busting S Kiriko takes up skateboarding as a secret guilty pleasure hobby because she actually found it pretty cool

The found family recognise her one evening in a local skatepark and she also gets adopted into their squad as a badass aunt

Reki and Langa get together because like.. c’mon, they’re blatantly in love

Joe and Cherry visit Adam in jail and finally get some closure with him

also they’re dating because I believe in matchablossom supremacy

Shadow gets together with his manager from the flower shop (who gets an actual name) in a cute romcom-esque series of shenanigans, turns out that guy he saw her hugging was like her older brother or something idk

Everyone lives happily after and Adam gets the actual fucking consequences for his actions like he deserves, as well as therapy

( *disclaimer: i literally give zero fucks if you thought the finale was great or ship tadaai or whatever, this is not a personal attack on you or your interpretation of ep 12, you do you. we’re all entitled to our own opinions and mine’s is that the finale was dissatisfying and adam should be in jail)

#sk8 the infinity #sk8 spoilers #kikuchi tadashi #shindo ainosuke #sk8 au #renga #matcha blossom #tadaoka #free tadashi 2k21 #og post //#please dont try to start shit w/ me over this ok im Tired

Unexpectedly I went skateboarding today!

I practiced Ollies and what can I say? It worked so well! They are not super high, but I am getting air on every single try. And it feels fantastic.

Skateboarding made my day today. It made me feel incredibly good. Even if I took a slam on the hip. I will take the pain for my emotional well being!

#lovewhatyoudo #dowhatyoulove #skateboarding #girls who skate #i owe skateboarding everything #skateboarding is freaking therapy #ollie progress #practice makes progress

restless & wreckless | VDS | 7/8

Jens had a mole just below his hairline on the back of his neck, and Lucas frowned at it, the tip of his pen digging into the desk, carving a jagged scar in the wood. The teacher was talking, but the words filtered right past Lucas as though whispers on the wind, floating out the rain-streaked window.

It had been four days, Lucas thought as he forced his gaze from the back of Jens’ neck, back to his desk, the gouge growing deeper beneath his pen. Four days and he was still thinking about what Jens had said.

“But I like you.”

They echoed in his brain, and he glared at the guy in front of him, his crooked collar, Cheeto dust on his fingers from lunch as he scratched his neck.

I like you.

Annoyed, Lucas slumped further in his seat. He wasn’t sure why he’d even showed up today. He could have skipped, spent the day in the drizzly rain, wandering around town, avoiding going home where his dad had taken his phone as soon as he’d gotten home and locked it away in his car.

He didn’t know why he cared so much, why it bothered him so much that Jens had said it.

Lucas didn’t intend to make friends here. He didn’t intend to go to parties and drink and jump around to shitty pop music just for the hell of it. He planned on surviving until the end of school, until he could get out of here and back to Utrecht.

Apparently Jens hadn’t gotten the memo.

“Lucas.”

A sharp voice brought Lucas’ attention back to the teacher, her arms crossed, face unimpressed.

“When you’re done defacing school property, maybe you could tell us what you think is the main theme of The Bell Jar?”

Leaning back in his chair, Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Rich girl needs major therapy.”

Nobody laughed, and Lucas caught Jens watching him from behind the teacher, a crease to his brow. Scowling, Lucas looked away. He didn’t need Jens’ judgment. They weren’t anything. A hook up gone wrong.

“Well, you’ll have plenty of time to think over that answer in detention,” the teacher said, and Lucas didn’t bother sighing as she turned away.

He caught Jens’ gaze, shoot him a glare instead as he turned to the window and tuned out the teacher. At least it wasn’t going home.

Jens stood with his friends across the courtyard, huddled under a tree to escape the rain, and Lucas dropped back against the wall of the school. He still had time before detention, maybe enough time for a smoke. But he didn’t duck around the corner, watching Jens say something and laugh as he shoved one of his friends.

Jens wasn’t any different, Lucas thought, than any other guy he’d hooked up with before. There had been guys, back in Utrecht, guys he made out with a couple times, guys who freaked the moment they got anywhere below the waist. None of them had ever looked at Lucas the way Jens was gazing at him now, over his friend’s head, as though trying to figure him out.

There was nothing to figure out. Whatever they’d been doing was over, and there was nowhere for it to go anyway. What would Jens have expected by telling his friends? That they’d suddenly be boyfriends? That they’d go to movies and eat fries off each other’s plates and hold hands in the hallway?

Maybe there was a part of Lucas, deep deep down, that didn’t think it would be so bad to have a boyfriend, to have someone who wanted to talk to him and see him and kiss him hello. But that person wouldn’t be Jens. It wouldn’t be some guy from Antwerp who just happened to follow Lucas to the teacher’s lounge one day, who liked skateboarding and oversize sweatshirts and who had two little sisters that he walked to school in the mornings and who was always warm and soft, gave inviting kisses and could always tell when something was wrong even when Lucas said nothing.

Fuck. Lucas caught himself thinking it even as something hot and heavy dropped into his stomach. He liked Jens.

He liked Jens and Jens liked him, and that wasn’t how this was supposed to go at all.

There was no time for a cigarette now as the thought hit him, shaking his head as though that might rid him of it. But it didn’t.

He’d chosen Jens because he was hot. Because he had a suspicion Jens would be up for something stupid, something wrong, something they could hide away for a while until it got old and they moved on. He hadn’t chosen Jens so he could stand outside in the drizzle, watching Jens across the courtyard, five minutes from having to go to detention, and realize he’d royally fucked up.

A weight settled on his chest as he stood there, a pressure making it harder to breathe as he turned from the wall. He couldn’t think about this. He didn’t want to think about this.

Inside, the halls were mostly empty as he headed for detention, wishing he could make this feeling go away, this squeezing around his throat as he paused at the door, anxious and nervous and panicky all at once.

“Hey.”

Lucas turned at an unfamiliar voice behind him, frowning as one of Jens’ friends—the little one with fluffy brown hair—approached from down the hall.

The guy hesitated as he reached Lucas, and Lucas wasn’t sure what was happening. Very few people at school actually talked to him, and for good reason. He didn’t want them to.

“I’m Robbe,” the guy said when Lucas didn’t respond, crossing his arms and furrowing his brow. “Jens’ friend?”

“So?” Lucas asked finally.

Robbe swallowed, seeming nervous as they stood outside the classroom door. “Jens kind of told us he was bi yesterday,” he said slowly, and Lucas tried not to react. He hadn’t expected Jens to actually do it. “And he said he wasn’t with anybody, but he’s been weird. Canceling plans, lying about where he’s been. It doesn’t take a genius.”

“So?” Lucas asked again when Robbe paused. He didn’t know why Robbe was telling him any of this.

“So I just wanted to tell you that I’m really glad you helped him.”

Frowning, Lucas stepped away from the door, taking in Robbe. He was tiny but strong as he didn’t shrink from Lucas’ searching gaze.

“Helped him?”

Robbe shrugged easily. “I know he made out with a few guys last year, but he kept saying he was totally straight. I thought maybe he was worried about actually being bi, you know, how people judge you, like it’s an in-between. I’m glad he can be who he is. And I think you had something to do with it.”

Lucas swallowed instead of answering. If he had had anything to do with it, it hadn’t been intentional.

“Whatever Jens does is up to him,” Lucas said finally. “I didn’t do anything.”

He didn’t deserve any credit for this. The only thing he deserved was detention, which he was now late for. He’d been a total dick to Jens, out of… fear? Teen angst? He didn’t even know the answer as he took a breath and watched Robbe shake his head.

“I don’t think that’s true. I think he really likes you.”

Lucas felt a pang in his chest at Robbe’s words, glaring instead as he reached for the door.

“Then he’s an idiot,” he just said, pulling open the door. “And I’m late.”

The door swung shut on Robbe’s confused face, and Lucas slid into a chair as the teacher sighed resignedly.

“Lucas, finally joined us?”

Lucas didn’t reply, turning his face to the window and the rain dribbling down the pane.

( nick robinson , twenty , cismale , he/him ) FIN EASTIN , don’t think that you have gotten off easy because i haven’t told the school that REDACTED . sweetie , no one can hide from me - not even a BROTHER of GAMMA. oh no, your secret is most certainly not safe with me. you know , i asked around about you & most people said that you reminded them of DANIEL DESARIO with FALLING BY HARRY STYLES playing in the background , that’s very interesting - i wonder how accurate they are.

sharpie scribbles on bar napkins, fallen branches on a dysfunctional family tree, thrifted jean jackets and converse worn years past their worth, a room decorated with emptied bottles, loose-leaf shoved to the bottom of a bag, heavy eyes that just can’t close.

yellow! i am dew, she/her, and i’ll be writing this messy of a human. before i jump into him, a little about me. i am 27 (omg, still unreal to write) and i’m a server-bartender. just got a lovely cat named monroe who i love. i’ve been rping for nearing a decade now, with brief hiatuses in there. excited to get started with all of you!

name: fin elijah eastin pronouns: he/him age: twenty birthday: march 1st zodiac sign: pisces hometown: cooperstown, new york major: journalism fraternity: gamma phi gamma clubs: school paper

“so you're numbin' the pain, stuck in your ways”

fin grew up in the suburbs of new york. it was kind of laughable how picturesque it was: white picket fence, businessman dad, homemaker mother who substitute taught and made mean chocolate chip cookies. there was even a dog, a mini schnauzer named mickey — an ode to his father’s favorite baseball player.

baseball. fin thinks that may have been his first moment of disappointment. not the homerun hitter his dad imagined cheering on from the stands. he wasn’t even bad, he was just fine. second disappointment had to have been his grades. a report card consisting of mostly c’s. studying never going anywhere aside headaches.

ALCOHOL / ADDICTION TW: there were definitely other disappointments in between but the big one started the first time fin got caught sneaking in through his bedroom window, drunk from a classmate’s party. the yelling was supposed to have been a lecture, a lesson, a reason not to do it again but fuck if fin didn’t want to wash away the words and the disappointment with a bottle. jack daniels did a good job of drowning out his father. liquor bottles were carefully selected and drained from the cupboard — fin knowing well enough to leave his mother’s grey goose alone — and refilled with water. money was stolen out of wallets. he needed to spike his soda at pizza night just to get through. that train of thought continued on and on until the water bottle in his math class smelled of straight smirnoff.

the summer before his junior year, his parents shipped him off to some summer camp. rehab in the woods. doctors with canoes. didn’t realize it then but that was fin’s last summer with his parents and he saw dr. haskell more than he saw marc and kathleen.

no parents in the picture, fin went to stay with his grandfather, george, in florida. a single, retiree, george spent most of his days donning a hawaiian shirt, walking the pier, and betting horses. he was almost like a roommate and less of a guardian. was it bad for fin to say that it was a breath of fresh air?

the last conversation fin had gotten to have with his dad, he’d promised to go to college. was meadowbank what marc eastin had in mind? likely not. but it had dorms, tuition payments, and after four years a degree. so promise kept... or on target to.

now he’s a sophomore ( behind one year academically ) and majoring in journalism. it’d nearly been business and then almost communications, but his advisor had suggested journalism. fin had always liked writing, though it was always more of a form of personal therapy. or maybe better put, a way to drain the thoughts from his head. pen to paper. screw the digital aspect of it. just wasn’t the same. and, hey, if it worked out maybe he could wind up doing some of those weird interviews he’s seen on youtube. imagine getting to ask keanu if he’s immortal to his face?

“and I know you've been hurting, think you deserve it”

currently has three tattoos. the first was a shrimp on his forearm, a piece from his favorite childhood book on his calf, and a drunken decision on his ribs.

against popular assumption, fin isn’t all that bad at math. now, let’s be clear, he was near going to pass calculus or score 100s on even his algebra tests without a cheat sheet but basics are pretty down pat. perhaps the whole buying and selling ounces and grams wasn’t for nothing... aside from a high.

“journals” on whatever loose piece of paper or paper-adjacent item is nearby. napkins, book pages, bibles pamphlets handed out by old ladies on campus: all wind up with chicken scratch sharpie brain dumps.

his room is a mess but at the very least his bed is nearly always made. it’s a small way he’s hoped to combat the bouts of insomnia. clean bed, maybe he wouldn’t have such a hard time fucking falling asleep. maybe the past and his thoughts and all the reasons he’s a screw up wouldn’t keep him up at night.

because he struggles to sleep, fin can often be found taking walks at odd hours of the night. and then asleep on a bench near the science building. which usually means an empty seat in his writing class. that participation grade is hurting.

enjoys breakfast more than any human anyone’s ever known.

his wardrobe is primarily thrifted and or *cough cough* stolen. he’s a big fan of shirts with strange slogans or proclaiming they’re the best grandpa. but worn jean jackets have become his main staple.

skateboards as a means to get around campus. capable of a few tricks under the right mind but fin’s always more the type to vibe down a slow and steady hill. that fleetwood mac, ocean spray guy essentially lived his dreams.

writes for the school paper, but tried to worm himself out of the basic sort of stories. he more tries to write stories about hidden gems on campus, interviews with quirky professors, following up on urban legends.

kinda anti-baseball.

will pet any dog he sees. fin is a fan of celebrating anyone’s birthday aside from his own. he usually prefers to gloss over it completely. he’s not worth the celebration.

when was the last time he checked his academic email? unknown.

okay been working on this over at least three episodes of freaks and geeks and i think this is all i got for now. if you have any questions, ask away! apologies for not listing connections ideas right now but i am very open to ideas and plotting!

Eddie Diaz: The Family He Chose

Eddie's going to El Paso, TX which is where his parents' home is located. He lived there too when he was growing up but he no longer considers that place to be his home. His home is now in Los Angeles, CA and that's where his family resides. While he does have blood relatives there like his Abuela and Tia, the family he chose is there as well.

As a part of his therapy, Frank suggested Eddie have a conversation with his father. Of course his mother will be there too but a separate conversation will need to be had with her in the future since his issues with her are very different from the ones he experienced with his dad. There's a family celebration that's already scheduled so Eddie decided to make the trip in order to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. It’s possible that Christopher could be staying in L.A. with Buck but Eddie's Abuela and Tia are going to Texas. Eddie's already preparing for several questions from his parents regarding why he didn't bring Christopher but is he ready to answer them?

Will Eddie tell his parents about the family he's chosen, i.e., not just the 118 but his small Buckley-Diaz family of three? If so will he elaborate on who he chose to co-parent Christopher? If these topics come up, will he be willing to go into detail about why he chose this family and what it all means?

Eddie started building his self-made family more than four years ago when he first met Buck and he introduced him to Christopher. In 2x1 "Under Pressure" Eddie met Buck for the first time and even though their initial meeting was strained, it didn't take long for them to get past their differences. Eddie showed Buck a picture of Christopher in 2x2 "7.1"and by the end of 2x3 "Help is not coming", Buck met Christopher face to face for the first time.

In 2x4 "Stuck" Buck met Eddie's Tia, Pepa, and by the end of that episode Buck introduced Eddie to Carla. That was it, their little family was “made” and it only took four weeks to construct it. There weren't any panic attacks (foreshadowing to the beginning of 5A when Eddie had 3 panic attacks related to the “ready made family” everyone outside of his self-made family saw) or freak outs by anyone involved because this was exactly what Eddie and Buck had been searching for. Buck wanted a family and Eddie wanted someone to have his back, hence the way they easily compliment each other. They support each other and they both love and care for Christopher in the exact same way.

In 3x1 "Kids Today", Eddie took Christopher to Buck's loft to cheer him up and later in that same episode Eddie's heart (Christopher and Buck) would be put in danger when they were engulfed by a Tsunami. Eddie showed Hen and Chimney a picture of his heart in 3x2 "Sink or Swim" and in 3x3 "The Searchers" Eddie came face to face with a battered and bruised Buck. Buck had the difficult task of telling Eddie that Christopher was lost. His panic only lasted a few seconds because Christopher appeared with a woman who had been carrying and caring for him the whole time he was separated from Buck. Later in that episode Eddie took Christopher back to Buck's loft and reassured him 'there was no one in this world that he trusted more than Buck with Christopher'.

There were disagreements and silent treatments within their little family but they made up and became even stronger than before. Eddie and Buck built Christopher an adaptable skateboard to prove that he could still participate in activities albeit differently from other children. Even though Buck was starting to suffer from separation anxiety, he overcame his fears and agreed with Eddie to let Christopher go off to summer camp for two weeks.

Eddie's little family had its fair share of tragedies too. Eddie was buried in a well (3x15 "Eddie Begins"); Buck had a ladder truck fall on top of his leg (2x18 "This Life We choose"), Buck and Christopher were caught in a Tsunami (3x1-3x3); they had two shared traumas, one happened when Eddie got shot by a sniper (4x13 "Suspicion" 4x14 "Survivors") and the other was when they were both held hostage by escaped convicts (5x6 "Cell block 9-1-1"). After Eddie was buried in the well that's when he decided to change his will but he didn't tell Buck about it until one year later. He chose Buck to be Christopher's legal guardian for a reason but is Eddie ready to explain why Buck was his only choice?

They've all struggled with their shared and individual traumas causing all three of them to seek therapy. Christopher experienced nightmares after the Tsunami (3x4 “Triggers”). Buck quit firefighting in 3x1 but returned a few weeks later and Eddie quit firefighting in 5x10 "Wrapped in Red" but as of 5x16 "May Day" he hadn't fully returned to the 118 yet.

While Eddie's in El Paso, will he tell his parents about his will and who he named to be Christopher's legal guardian? What will be there reaction? Will they be happy or upset? Will they belittle him or try to convince him to change his will and replace Buck's name with theirs?

This is the family Eddie chose and Buck is the person he chose as a co-parent for Christopher. They aren't perfect but they all love and support each other. When Eddie left Texas, he left all his parents' negativity behind. He started a new life in L.A. and it's unlikely they will be able to convince him to change his mind. Eddie no longer allows his parents to make his decisions for him so they will have to understand they don't have a say in his life anymore. He chose his family and he's getting closer to solidifying everything he's every wanted which includes a happy home surrounded by his chosen family.

My Buddie family feels for quarantine

I’ve seen a several posts going around where Christopher stays with Abuela during quarantine because of the concerns about CP and COVID complications, and Eddie stays with Buck.

And I love those head canons!

But I have a slightly different take. I think that Eddie is absolutely terrified of what could happen if he brings home COVID to Chris but he knows that having Chris full-time would be too much for Abuela, even if Pepa stayed with them. Pepa has to work from home and couldn’t help that much and would need quiet for the dreaded zoom calls.

Eddie even contemplates asking his parents to come to LA or sending Chris to them. But he is absolutely terrified that he would never get Chris back. What if he sends Chris away and they sue? Would a judge give his special needs son back to a single father with a dangerous job who sent his son away??? He’s really spinning with these thoughts.

He can’t afford Carla full-time and she has other clients that she works with anyway. Clients that are elderly and in nursing homes. Eddie’s worried. Just all around worried. And he doesn’t see a way out with anyone else.

So he starts looking in to family medical leave (FMLA). But even with that he wouldn’t make enough money to cover tuition (even with the scholarship he still has to pay some) and all of Chris’s therapies. (Even though those therapies are mostly moving to online now it’s still expensive. Carla seriously helped A LOT with figuring out payments and funding. But this is America. That shit ain’t free.). Not to mention his rent. He’s hoping that rent help will come form the state but at the beginning he can’t be sure.

Buck comes over one day to find Eddie practically tearing his hair out. He knows that he has to make a decision in the next 24 hours before it becomes too late. Northern California has already moved to shelter-in-place and he knows that LA County will be following suit soon. That’s when Eddie tells Buck that he’s going to have to take FMLA *and* move with Chris back to El Paso, at least temporarily while all this is happening. He won’t be getting paid because he doesn’t have furlough/sick leave built up. But Chris will still have health insurance benefits.

Buck is freaking out. Eddie’s basically quitting and moving away with Christopher? WHAT THE FUCK? He can’t let that happen.

Now, see I fully head canon that Buck and Maddie come from money. Their parents are rich enough to have their kids whims met but cold enough that no emotional needs were ever met. Hence, Maddie’s shitty marriage and Buck’s desperation for validation. AND it would explain their sweet-ass apartments in fucking LA on civil servant salaries. (I’m a teacher in CA, I know of what I speak.).

So Buck has a trust fund that he basically never touches beyond a little for a nice apartment and when he bought his car. And secretly pays part of Carla’s salary. And when he bought and built the skateboard. But anyway! Buck is willing to do anything to keep Eddie and Chris with him. So his first inclination is to just throw money at Eddie.

But Eddie doesn’t want his money! And anyway that won’t work because if the COVID crisis lasts too long then Eddie might need to quit. And the unemployment insurance isn’t the same as what he currently has. And [I don’t know something about grants and funds for Chris’s therapies and tuition because he’s a county/city employee and if he goes on leave then he won’t get it. I’m just making all this shit up here but roll with it]. Even if Eddie went on leave and moved to El Paso it won’t alleviate the problems OR his fear that his parents will take Christopher away.

That’s when Buck has his brilliant idea! HE CAN TAKE LEAVE! He can take unpaid leave and will be fine. Buck will stay with Christopher at Eddie’s place and Eddie can stay at Buck’s place.

Just picture Eddie’s face as it goes from angry at his lack of options to confused at What the hell is Buck talking about to the heart eyes at this mother fucking savior who loves his kid that much!

So that’s how Buck ends up taking care of Christopher. They FaceTime Eddie every single night without fail. And will even have Sunday pancakes together. Buck sets up a card table at the end of the driveway and Eddie’s eats there while Buck and Chris eat on the front porch. Don’t worry! Buck uses gloves and lots of bleach on the table every time he touches it. Chris loves LOVES loves being with his Buck but he misses his dad every day. But Buck is good at giving him hugs and letting him cry it out. Because tears are okay and so is feeling sad. We just have to acknowledge our feelings and make room for the good feelings with the bad ones.

Eddie and Buck talk on the phone every night after Chris’s FaceTime call with Eddie. And there’s other plot feelings that will happen here. [Insert blah blah blah]

Maybe Eddie accidentally finds Buck’s dildo. Whoops! And maybe, just maybe this leads to a sexy, flirty conversation about being bi (both of them). And then perhaps we get some phone sex.

But nothing else changes at first! Buck thinks maybe this is just another part of this whole quarantine thing. He can’t go out and find anyone. Eddie can’t go out and find anyone. And he loves their talks at the end of each day. Now they come with bonus orgasms. Woot! EVEN BETTER!

Then maybe they move from phone sex to FaceTime sex. And that’s even better! Because now Buck can see how Eddie bites his lip right before he comes. And Eddie loves the way Buck flushes all down his neck and chest.

Eventually some feelings talk starts to slip in. Buck isn’t just good at listening and comforting Chris when he cries. But Eddie breaks too. He just misses his son so much and wants to hug him and feel his soft curls. He wants to hug Buck. This is just so lonely. He’s still working and with the 118 but it isn’t the same without Buck, without Christopher’s smile at the beginning of every day.

And then, eventually, the shelter-in-place is lifted and Eddie can come home! But maybe Buck should stay a few more nights for Christopher’s sake. Yeah, of course. For Christopher. And he’s just so used to sleeping in Eddie’s bed. So he should stay there, right?

Insert sexy-times here.

YAY relationship and love confessions!

And then the second wave hits. And Buck doesn’t even hesitate to take a leave of absence to care for Chris again. Only this time he’s out of leave. He doesn’t care about getting paid (because of trust fund). But he’ll lose his benefits (because of America). So Eddie proposes! Buck says no at first because he doesn’t want to get married for convenience purposes. So Eddie has to find his words which is still not easy for Eddie. Luckily, Chris is adorable and helps them both out!

So MARRIAGE! Benefits for all! Buck officially has rights to Christopher if anything happens to Eddie! Eddie has his husband and his son and they love each other! Happy ending for all, especially once a vaccine is invented and it works and anti-vaxxers don’t exist so yay! Everything works out.

And this is my not-fic that maybe I will fully write one day. But really I like to just thought-spew my fic ideas.

He Was A Skater Boy… (Chapter 5) (Hotch/Reid)

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner / Spencer Reid

Summary: The morning after, things finally happen.

Word Count: 1,594

Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8

Chapter 5: Your hair looks sexy pushed back... (AO3)

There is a steady stream of cold air hitting the crook of his neck and a tank grounding him to the mattress. The comforting scent of Axe Body Spray and musky aftershave compels Spencer to keep his eyes shut and bask in the warm sun filtering in through the blinds. Since when was his bed this comfortable? When was the last time he’d felt so serene? No terrible thought-tempest brewing in his brain, no sharp iron coil in his gut, just the birds chirping outside and the incredibly soft warmth of the weight on top of him.

The weight on top of him.

The weight on top-?

He doesn’t own a weighted blanket, or a dog, so why does he feel hair tickling his chin? Damn, did he fall asleep in Penelope’s office again? That fuzzy orange blanket she covers him with always makes him sneeze! Wait- how did he get to Penelope’s office, he never even left Aaron’s place, he- Oh. Aaron.

Feeling around the bed, his hand lands on- yes, yes that is definitely a head. Aaron’s head probably, his hair is so soft, should he open his eyes? Groggily, Spencer opens one eye, nothing could have prepared him for the sight before him. The sight of Aaron beautifully draped over Spencer’s torso, gentle tufts of hair caressing the younger’s chin, one leg thrown over his hip, arms hugging his small waist. Aaron looked so delicate, so vulnerable, the opposite of the charismatic bravado he seemed to effortlessly carry. Here he was just a boy with nothing to prove and nothing to hide.

Spencer spent a little while staring down at the skater’s face, running his hand through the thick hair lining his chin. He began counting the man’s even breaths and mirroring them. To his immense relief, in this moment he felt insignificant. On any usual day this scenario would have him hyperventilating and desperately clawing for a way out, but with Aaron like this all he felt was content, he wanted to savor every piece of this puzzle. He noticed that Aaron was still in his oversized Columbia sweatshirt but was in his boxers, and his own shoes were missing from his feet. Aaron must have woken up in the night and decided to get them both more comfortable. He wondered if Aaron had consciously snuggled into him after getting back into bed, or if he had naturally gravitated toward Spencer’s heat after falling asleep.

A glance to his left towards the desk showed that it was 8:30 in the morning, if he wasn’t out the door in five minutes he would be late for his appointment with Penelope. But a little content sound came from the man sleeping on top of him which forced Spencer out of his worries. He was still completely wrapped inside snug dangly limbs, so any effort to move would surely disturb the peace. Instead, he decided to accept his predicament and doze off into an easy sleep, this time knowing the reason for his sweet dreams. Penelope wouldn't mind, she’d be proud.

-----------------------------------------------------

The next time he opened his eyes, it was to the tender stroking of his collar bone by a big calloused thumb. When the rubbing stopped, he looked down to the culprit and couldn’t fight off a smile if a revolver was pressed to his head. Aaron’s glittering hazel eyes were staring up at him full of wonder and hope, a shy smile on his lips.

“Why’d you stop? That felt really nice.” His voice cracked and rasped. Aaron’s voice was low and gravelly when he replied, “Sorry. I was worried you’d freak out.”

“Freak out at having a super hot guy cuddle me? You must be out of your mind.”

“...”

It seemed the genius’s groggy sleep brain hadn’t yet fully woken up, causing him to say stupid embarrassing things. Fuck now he’s freaking out. His face turned impossibly red and he could feel his hands getting clammy, how does he get out of this how will he ever survive this- but his stare-down with the stained ceiling came to an abrupt stop when the other man’s body shifted. Suddenly his eyesight was full of an amused face hovering over his own flustered one.

“You think I’m hot?”

Fuck.

“No comment.” Spencer practically squawked.

“Hmm…” Aaron seemed to contemplate something in his mind for a few seconds before he brought his hand to Spencer’s cheek, who let out another startled sound. Aaron’s hand was large enough to cup his whole jaw and rub at his cheekbones, the warmth of the sensation was almost unbearable to Spencer. He was breathless and so so confused, his heart skipping like a record. But he wouldn’t dare speak and break this moment. Next thing he knew, Aaron’s healing hands reached his hairline and sunk into his soft wavy locks, rubbing at his temple. It was pure instinct to let his eyes flutter shut. Now Aaron was propped up on one elbow, one hand buried in the pale boy’s hair, legs entangled like they had been all night.

“Hmm…” It sounded like a question this time. Spencer reluctantly opened his eyes once more. Aaron’s gaze bore into his, nothing could be done to tear away from that captivating look. He gulped. “Do you know Mean Girls?”

Spencer blinked. Many times. His frontal lobe may have short-circuited and fried up because what?

“What?”

“Mean Girls. Have you seen it?” His tone was just as serious as before and his gaze didn’t falter. Spencer remained silent and confused. Nothing new for him, but this time it felt strange. Had he completely misread the situation? This was a new low, he will never live this down. Of course Aaron didn’t like him, dudes snuggle all the time and it’s just another bro thing that Spencer is completely blind to-

The hand in his hair continued to move from his forehead to his nape, “Because I think your hair looks sexy pushed back.”

“Huh?”

And then Aaron’s lips were pressed to his and time stopped. The kiss was sweet and chaste, Aaron pulled back, “I said-” But Spencer dragged him back down by the neck to reconnect their mouths. He could feel Aaron’s smile on his lips, he could smell Aaron’s scent through his nose, he could feel the sharp angle of his jawline under his palms and the soft skin under his nails. He could feel Aaron nipping and pulling at his bottom lip, tongue tentatively asking for access. He felt the vibrations of the soft groan he let out when Aaron’s hand snaked down his shirt and skimmed over a nipple. He felt Aaron’s gasp as their kiss deepened, as their tongues danced together.

When a warm hand slipped under his shirt to rest on his stomach, Spencer saw stars. Electric, thundering stars. His own hands explored Aaron’s toned chest through the sweatshirt, eliciting an encouraging groan from the man. Eventually they broke off for air and, panting, Aaron moved down to press smoldering kisses to Spencer’s jaw, nipping at his ear and continuing down his neck until he got to his collarbones. He had to pull at his shirt collar to gain better access, but it was so worth it to hear Spencer’s whining moan and feel his hands dig into his hair. Aaron kept leaving kisses up and down, marking up the crook of the younger man’s neck. The harder he bit, the louder the resulting moan, and he just couldn’t get enough of the boy’s delicious sounds.

Just as Spencer went to adjust his hips to Aaron’s, the shrill blaring of the alarm clock rang out. Spencer jumped upright, causing their heads to collide and knocking Aaron right off the bed.

“Ow fuck!” Aaron exclaimed from the floor.

“Argh! I’m sorry…” Spencer cradled his head, “are you alright?” He stood up off the bed to offer the fallen man a hand. Aaron winced as he let himself be pulled up, then switched off the offending alarm before replying, “God was I that bad?” He teased.

Spencer smiled coyly, “No... that wasn’t bad at all. But I am really, really late to my therapy appointment.”

---------------------------------------------

Penelope was staring at him… studiously. He held his stuffed octopus tightly in his lap. He could play this game. Not the staring game, but the silence game. He fixated at a blank space behind her head and acted like everything was normal. Because, well, everything was normal, right? This is what Penelope meant when she said he needed to make more connections, right?

“When did you attend Columbia University?” She asked suspiciously, pointing her feathery pink pen at the sweatshirt he was wearing. Spencer had left in a hurry, laces left untied and jacket nowhere to be seen. Aaron had helpfully suggested he borrow his sweater, as a replacement for the jacket they clearly did not have time to search for.

“What do you mean?” Spencer’s expression feigned innocence, he toyed with a tentacle.

Penelope was unimpressed, she’d seen this act before. He always cracks, he can’t keep secrets, not when they’re his own.

“You get here half an hour late, wearing the sweater of a university you have absolutely no affiliation with, with hickeys all over you neck, Spencer! What is going on!”

A beat of silence and the teenager couldn’t keep the blush and timid grin off his face.

“I.. found a new hobby.”

Penelope gaped incredulously, which hey! way to have faith in your patients! but eventually smiled wide and excited. “Really? Well, what is it!”

“Skateboarding.”
