whenever i rewatch 2x01, i'm always amazed at what a great job this episode does in introducing eddie and maddie as main characters, telling us key facts about them without too much exposition or revealing too much in general; all the while managing to balance the rest of the ensemble so we know what's going on with them. and the way maddie and eddie are introduced are tailored to fit their respective characters.
with maddie, she's still very isolated at this point—for obvious reasons. so we actually get to see her POV for her scenes, and we learn some important details about her: 1) she's buck's older sister, 2) there's a significant age gap between them, 3) she and buck are not on good terms with their parents, 4) she's on the run from an abusive relationship, 5) although she hasn't been in contact with buck for three years, she still feels safe enough to run to him, telling us what a deep bond they actually have, 6) she used to be a nurse.
(most of these facts about their childhood that we can glean in 2x01 aren't even expounded on until s4, btw. but i think it's still pretty impressive how the seeds were planted so early on, that, yeah, it wasn't a shock to find out that the buckley parents were neglectful, or that maddie was basically parentified.)
with eddie, it's completely different. i don't think we get a single scene of his from his POV in 2x01, actually—every scene of his is told from the perspective of the characters around him. at this point, we still don't know some of the most important aspects of his character—he's a father, his marriage is failing. but we're still told some very essential facts that form the basis of his character: 1) he was in the army, but he's clearly not proud of his service/doesn't like bringing it up unless it's to help him at work, 2) he's charming and personable enough that he's able to win over the firefam—with the exception of buck—almost instantly, in a way no other new addition to the 118 ever has, 3) he clearly values teamwork and wants to get to know his coworkers—his focus on trying to win buck over is indicative of this, 4) he not only willingly put himself in a dangerous situation with the grenade, but also trusted buck implicitly right away, which suggests that despite the responsible and sensible impression he gives off, he has a hidden tendency for impulsivity—and we now know he does.
idk, all of this to say that i just...really appreciate this episode and how well it handled the introduction of these two characters. it's never an easy thing to pull off, particularly in an already packed ensemble cast. but they handled it beautifully, and i still remember how impressed i was while watching it for the first time.

What do you think the chances are that Mud Pit is gonna be ousted by the people who need Automattic to have good will in the eyes of the community to actually get anything out of this site and wattpad
I know it’s probably low but the fact that he’s acting like a poorer Elon Musk is making my skin crawl and making me hope that a second lawsuit hits the company
ok here's the thing. he is meant to be on sabbatical. automattic gives employees a three-month paid sabbatical every 5 years, so that they can have a break from the product they work on and come back rested and with a new perspective.
matt has never taken one before now. he spent the entire leadup to his sabbatical posting increasingly wild shit in public channels at the company (like the chess thing, or trying to get people to buy a friend's product, or the entire fracas with taking over the wordpress.org twitter account. wordpress.org is an independent non-profit that he is not the ceo of).
i mention this because people were hoping (including me) that he really would actually log off, have a chill time (or, idk, whatever kind of time CEOs who go off the grid bc they got flooded in at burning man like to have), and let the interim CEO get a chance to do a better job. that would help the board make a decision based on data.
he was very clearly spiraling before he even left, and then within the first few days of Company Sanctioned Log Off Time he's pulled multiple Classic Matt things on multiple parts of the company before showing up here. this whole thing is so deeply unfunny but it also is a bit of a tom and jerry or looney tunes bit, where i can only imagine HR or Legal is chasing him around the various accounts/platforms with a comically large inflatable baseball bat and he's just evading them.
he can't do that in person, but he still gets a lot of leeway generally. at the last division meetup (irl meeting for employees, flown from all over the world) he showed up twitchy and exhausted and hyped in a way that was very familiar to me from flatmates who used to steal and snort my adhd medication, then proceeded to drink so much over the course of an evening answering questions from his employees that he had to be firmly babysat off the stage and walked back into the lobby of the hotel to sober up.
i made eye contact with him that night, before he dropped his head back into his hands. two people relatively high up in the company were sitting with him, silently watching him as he struggled to sober up. it wasn't the first drunk shenanigan of his i witnessed at one of these, and this is purely opinion but i have to assume that his current behavior is the result of suddenly having time on his hands to have the world's longest bender and post through it.
back to your question: i do not know if what he's done is enough to get the board to remove him. i wish it didn't have to come to this to hope that they will. but we'll find out.

➳ thank you so much omg !! 😭🤍 and i luv luv luv this idea. s5 rick makes me feralll. hope you enjoy bb. and sorry it took so long ! (my first time writing something like this. open to tips or suggestions.)
Hot and Bothered
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ rick grimes x f! reader nsfw under the cut
summary: reader and rick are both secretly pining and desperate for each other. smut with slight plot.
warnings: 18+, unestablished relationship, unprotected piv, car sex.
you watched as your soft breathing fogged up the glass of the car window, your head tilted and resting against it slightly — growing uncomfortable as you had been sat in this car for what felt like hours and the fact the weather was so warm it made your skin moist didn’t help one bit. you and rick were seated in a beat up, broken down old truck outside gabriel’s church on watch, the rest of the group sleeping inside more comfortably than they had in a long time.
the group didn’t plan on staying in this place for long though it was a good place to rest even for a little while as you had been on the road for so long. it showed just by the appearance of the people in the group, rick especially by his growing scruffy beard.
rick is sat beside you in the drivers seat, one strong hand on his revolver and the other rested on the steering wheel as his sharp baby blue eyes surveyed the surrounding area in a focused gaze, though there wasn’t much he could examine due to the darkness that surrounded the truck. you glanced over at him when he wasn’t looking and your eyes fixated on his curls that were slick with his sweat, gaze slowly drifting down to the beads building on his neck vein before your eyes become way too bold and shift to fix on the way his dusty old dark jeans fit so perfectly to his thighs and hugged his crotch in just the right way you swear you could see the outline of his—
your gaze snapped away, looking out of the window in front of you after quickly realising you were zoning out, though it was hard not to. you told yourself. you were already hot and bothered just from the heat alone and now your brain turned it’s back on you, head filled with more than inappropriate thoughts about the stupidly ruggedly handsome man sat beside you.
“y’a alright?” that gruff southern voice snapped you from those thoughts and you turned to face him, only to realise he was now looking at you, your flushed cheeks and flustered expression. rick can only assume the worst, “y’ had anything to drink?”
“o-oh yeah. ’m fine don’t worry ‘bout it.” you replied, giving him a quick smile that pressed onto your lips before looking back out at the window. ricks eyes focused on you for a moment or two almost analysing to see if you were really okay — eventually he decides to trust your words and soon looks away as he speaks.
“haven’t seen weather like this since before.” he states. breaking silence and starting conversation as he refers to the before. before the walkers, when at times like this you would have been drinking an ice cold glass of water from the fridge and actually enjoying the heat. you briefly recall those times at the mention of them then reply to him. “probably would have been at some summer party wearing one of those cocktail dresses actually enjoying the weather.”, you tell him. slightly jokingly and words bitter-sweet but a small smile on tugs on your lips.
rick chuckles and nods his head once with a slight shrug of his shoulders as he adjusts in his seat and speaks, “i’d like to see that.” he replies casually and you both sink back into that silence.
you froze momentarily at his words, he had made plenty of subtle flirty comments to you in the past as you had to him, your comments were usually a lot less subtle than his in fact. why was it getting to you tonight? you blamed the fact you were bored, uncomfortably warm and sweaty but in reality deep down you knew it was because you wanted him. suppressed thoughts flooded in the back of your mind, hell, it was more accurate to say you needed him. but you knew lori. you look after her children for christ sake. a part of you feels like you’re betraying her.. another part of you thinks about what she had done to rick.
your mind was fogged for a moment before you let out a small sigh under your breath, almost out of frustration at your thoughts and this damn weather. whilst clearing your head your hand reached up and fingers unbuttoned the top button of your shirt, two of them that were already previously un-done. you shook your shirt a little whilst pinching the fabric between your fingertips. letting out a breath to try and cool yourself down in any way possible.
rick had watched this little stunt, he had glanced over at you as you sighed and now his baby blues were focused on those buttons that were open and crept down to your cleavage, that soft flesh nearly made rick drool just at the sight but instead his jaw tightens. he was hot and bothered too — just a lot better at hiding it. his sharp gaze and eyes narrowed on your face and in a moment of pure built up tension and his own frustration he blurts out.
“do y’ have to be such a fuckin’ tease?” he asks in a harsher tone than he probably intended, the frustration inside him bubbling. “first you check me out and now this.”, he nearly spits out the last word, that sharp gaze that always made your face heat up flicking to your chest before moving quickly back up to your face. he sighs. calming himself. “y’ might think it’s fun to do this but one day it’s gonna get you in trouble.”
with that he starts to turn away from you once more but before his eyes can fully shift away from you. he feels your soft hands grasp at his face, cupping his cheeks and pulling him back towards you. you feel his scruffy beard against your skin — you relish in that feeling. so many times had people in your group teased rick about how his beard was growing, you had too. but in reality you liked it. you liked it a lot.
your movements are fast and heated as you pull him towards you, lips crashing against his plump ones as you kiss him. rick is stunned. he had always thought you being the more playful person you were, you’d been making all those flirty suggestive comments to tease him, play with him. he never thought you would have actually made such a bold move. he had dreamt of it though. he wasted no time reciprocating the kiss as you felt his hand move from the steering wheel and to the side of your face. eager lips working against your own as both your eyes fluttered shut. ricks beard tickled your face as the passionate kiss took your breath away, his tongue brushing past your lower lip and a small moan escapes you as you taste him for the first time.
after a few moments pass, you pull away. pupils blown and eyes wide as you look at him weakening nearly the same expression. hearing his heavy breathing and rough voice speaking in a much gentler tone. “you want this..?”
you nod in response to his question and his hand sliding down to your waist. “i need this.” you tell him, chest rising and falling with each breath. rick appreciates the view as his eyes glance back down to your nearly exposed breasts — with that he urged you to come closer, strong hand squeezing your waist a little as he pulls you towards him. you follow his actions and crawl over to the drivers seat straddling his denim clad thighs whilst your lips meet his once more. a deeper and somehow more passionate kiss which elicits a guttural groan from rick and his eager hands untuck the fabric of your shirt from your jeans. his movements are feverish as he un-does the remaining buttons.
his eyes look down to see the black bra underneath and how it hugged your perfect breasts. he nearly drools at the sight. as he’s distracted by the new view you lean down and press your pouty lips to the side of his neck, the taste of his salty skin on your tongue as you leave messy kisses peppered up to his ear. he grunts. feeling the soft flesh of your waist against his calloused hands. there’s a tiny voice in the back of his head telling him this is wrong and risky to be doing in the middle of the night in this beat up truck but there’s a louder voice telling him he needs to have you.
your hand dips down and your fingertips brush against his belt experimenting; to ricks approval. your touch slowly drifting down to caress the growing bulge in his jeans making rick bite the inside of his cheek in anticipation. sparking a new flame of excitement in both of you as his hands move to your hips and feverishly start to drag the fabric down your sides, feeling the curve of your ass in his grasp as you awkwardly but eagerly shift in his lap to assist him pushing your jeans down your legs.
“so beautiful..” rick marvels as he gazes down at your nearly exposed cunt, the thin cotton fabric all that’s covering your lower half as you break away from him. smiling at him with a tint of pink on your cheeks — he grins and raises an eyebrow. “you gettin’ shy on me now?” he teases whilst his hand explores back up your waist and settles on your rib cage just underneath your bra.
you nearly roll your eyes but instead return his slight grin and your hands return to his belt, unbuckling and leaning in towards him as you reply, “fuck no.”
rick lifts his hips with a short grunt, helping you to push his jeans down his muscular thighs and he pulls you into a rough kiss; that same exploring hand drifting down to give your ass a squeeze causing you to gasp against his lips giving him the perfect opportunity to slip past those pretty lips and taste you on his tongue once more. he imagined how good it would feel to have those swollen lips grazing against his cock but right now he was desperate and so were you. there wasn’t time for as much as he’d like to do to you so he saves those thoughts for a different time.
you frown momentarily as his hands rip the thin fabric of your panties clean in half - underwear wasn’t something you came across often whilst scavenging but that frown soon parts and turns into a moan as your feel those two rough fingertips brush against your now exposed pussy leaving his fingers slick with your arousal whilst rubbing your swollen clit. you bite your lip. not wanting to be loud and attract a swarm of walkers your way. your hand moves back down but this time you hook a finger under the waistband of his boxers and pull them down, freeing his throbbing erection, eager tip red and leaking with pearly pre-cum, gently you wrap your hand around the base of his dick to slowly pump him a few times feeling just how hard he is for you. rick groans, needing more. both his hands move to grip your hips and guide you forward, his reddened tip brushing against your folds.
you dip your head down. breaking that passionate kiss and gasping into the crook of his neck as you slowly sit down on his lap inch by inch, feeling the stretch of his cock slipping into your aching core until your plush thighs are flush with his that tense under the gentle weight.
he lets you adjust to his size for a moment trying his best to keep still through heavy breaths and his head tilts back against the seat, lips parted as he feels you squeeze around him until he’s buried deep inside you. with a gentle squeeze of your hip returned by a small nod of your head urging him to move you feel his hips lift to thrust up into you followed by a whining moan that leaves his plump lips. you start to rock your hips forward slightly until that initial stretching pain is gone and replaced by the pleasure of his cock hitting your cervix with each deep and desperate thrust of his hips underneath you.
your back arches, hands placed on his broad shoulders and head now tilted back as you move a little faster. the months of craving him and getting yourself off just imaging what having him would feel like being fulfilled by this moment. your movements start to become more confident and rick marvels as your breasts bounce slightly with your movements, a subtle but cocky grin forming on his face as he sees how fucked-out you already looked. seeing you get faster, he follows your lead and his grip on your hips tightens as he dips his head to kiss and nip at the skin of your neck were sweat beads have been forming from the heat and now the overwhelming feeling of bouncing on his cock.
his lips move gently on your neck at first but that soon turn into rough, messy, open-mouthed kisses leaving a prominent hickey just above your collarbone. he gasps against your skin and you feel his cock twitch inside you, wanting so badly to cum but rick holds it off. he wanted this to last as long as it could just to feel you chasing that high and have his dick pumping in and out of you — his lips drift down to your cleavage, feeling the soft supple flesh against his lips and hearing the way your breath hitches from his simple action. he groans into your tits, peppering more kisses along your chest as his thrusts start to get noticeably sloppier.
upon noticing his messy movements you start to speed up, taking a little more control as you felt your ass meeting his thighs with each bounce. rick leans back, eyes hazy and lips parted with heavy breaths as he admires you like this. long hair disheveled, head thrown back, sweat beads on your forehead and most of all the fact you were dripping wet for him.
he’s close. he can feel his cock twitch and throb desperately inside of you. he leans into your ear this time, one hand gripping your waist tightly and his other drifting down and pressing two fingertips against your puffy clit, rubbing gently with just the right amount of pressure for you to feel that knot in your abdomen. “fuck, rick..” you manage to get out with a muffled moan as your teeth sinks into your lower lip to a point it might have drawn blood but your mind is too fogged and any concerns are thrown out the window completely as you hear — “come f’me, sweetheart.”
his breathy, low voice in your ear, his hand gripping your waist, fingers digging into your skin, those rough fingertips rubbing perfectly against your swollen clit and the way his thrusts are picking up the pace again, hips bucking up against your own has you in a complete mess.
you open your mouth to speak, rick sees this and watches your pretty lips part. the sight of you like this, all sweaty and needy made a low moan escape his mouth and into your ear sending even more vibrations straight to your core. with that it happens, the knot in your stomach snapping and eyes falling shut as you reach what had to be the best orgasm of your life. you can’t help the loud moan that escapes you but rick is quick and brings his hand from your waist to gently cup over your mouth and muffle the lewd noises escaping you.
your pussy clenches and twitches around his cock and he buries his face into your neck once more, teeth nipping at the skin as he swiftly moves his other hand from your throbbing clit to grab the base of his dick, quickly pulling out and letting out a long, breathy sigh of relief as he pumps himself one last time before shooting ropes of pearly white cum all over your lower abdomen and dripping down his veiny shaft before falling back in the drivers seat.
you two stay like that for more than a few moments. all you can hear is his and your own heavy breathy. your skin is sticky, foreheads slick with sweat and the car even hotter than before with steamed up windows. you had dreaded all day having being sat in an old truck during this boiling summers weather all night but now you were more than thankful you decided to take daryls place. you just hoped no one had come out to check on you whilst you were occupied.

itsmeyn: charles always goes above and beyond for every single fan of his, he tries to take as many pictures and sign as many autographs as possible, but what happened last night was a fucking joke. He doesn't like what I'm writing cause he says that it was just a mistake and that it was fine, but it really isn't, it's so disrespectful and disgusting! He always wants to meet his fans and make them happy only to receive this insanity, him falling AND HURTING HIMSELF because some of you can't fucking wait and be organized like a human being! Charles isn't an animal in a zoo where you race to pet him! He is a human being, he is a son, a brother and a boyfriend! This wasn't just an accident, i have seen these 6 girls multiple times in multiple places! it's so obsessive and so so sick of you to follow him everywhere.... Charles won't speak up because he is Charles and he lives seeing the good in people, but I will tear everything and everyone for his safety, so for you 6 girls you will be hearing from court soon so better prepare a good lawyer you assholes!

F1_updates_live: Charles Leclerc's girlfriend, YN LN, seen today arriving in front of the UK's courthouse in a red SF9 Ferarri. It had been quite a week for YN as she was seen hitting a fan after the said fan pushed Charles. YN took this fan and 5 others to court, no one knows on what bases but what has come out is that she has won the case which means that Charles and YN have restraining orders against the group.

itsmeyn: oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the one in a formula one car, in a ferarri, that by the words of many professionals is at its worse era. I don't care about you and your opinion but don't state it as a fact, no one can do better with these strategies. I hate to keep saying this but when your own fucking team doesn't have the same dream as you it turns to shit. Even if charles is the only one in the car, it's still a team sport, not a one man sport. Fuck you and your tiny ass brain that can never survive one lap in a formula one car, it'll probably explode cause of all the bullshit in it before the first lap anyway. So next time you wanna talk shit maybe try to do fifth of who you're criticising is doing, I bet that'll shut you up real quick you dimwit.
