"Now, don't be mad!"

“And I don’t think anybody should feel bad if they get diagnosed with a mental illness, ’cause it’s just information about you that helps you to know how to take better care of yourself.

“Being bipolar, there’s nothing wrong with it. Being bipolar is like not knowing how to swim. It might be embarrassing to tell people, and it might be hard to take you certain places. But they have arm floaties. And if you just take your arm floaties, you can go wherever the hell you want.

“And I know some of you are like, ‘But Taylor, what if people judge me for taking arm floaties?’ Well, those people don’t care if you live or die, so maybe who cares? Maybe fuck those people a little. I don’t know.”

If the episode started with a call on the set of a telenovela being filmed, Eddie could be fangirling over a lead actor, reestablishing him being a fan of the genre to the GA while also hinting at his sexuality. This would parallel Maddie and Chim in the episode with the emergency at the Bachelor Mansion. The episode that coincidentally also happens to be Buck’s bi awakening.

If the episode opened with a scene out of context of the telenovela episode being filmed (before 9-1-1 inevitably needs to be called) the plot of the episode could then reflect what is happening in that scene and its characters and also borrow some stylistic choices for how the episode is shot and directed.

Thank you for tagging me @desert-fern! 💖

Fair warning: half of my picks are from the 90s because that was my formative era. I like stuff I can sing to or play the guitar to, so there’s a lot of rock and pop…

Drop Dead Gorgeous [1997] – Republica Just a Girl [1995] – No Doubt A Thousand Years [2011] – Christina Perri Ready Now [2019] – Dodie Iris [1998] – Goo Goo Dolls November Rain [1992] – Guns N’ Roses Speechless [2009] – Lady Gaga - Creep [1992] – Radiohead You Could Make a Killing [1995] – Aimee Mann All Along the Watchtower [1968] – Jimi Hendrix Rumour Has It [2011] – Adele Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down [2010] – Alicia Keys

Now for the usual totally unnecessary commentary on my choices:

We’ve got four British artists on there (well, I did grow up here), but it’s mostly stuff from across the pond. That said, ‘Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down’ was never released in the US, but it was over here, and it was huge (hence it’s on my Spotify master playlist!).

There are songs from four soundtracks (Scream, Twilight, City of Angels and Cruel Intentions), proving that movies make my brain remember songs better.

Also, I’m currently rewatching Battlestar Galactica, so I had to include Hendrix 😎.

Hmm, who to tag... okay, 12 of my loveliest moots coming up:
