when robby tells off the emts who fucked up in front of everyone and santos agrees a public humiliation was better than a private correction..... yeah I see it

it’s actually quite easy to take over a small local government group if you really want to, bc if you volunteer consistently people will just put you in charge of whatever. I’m now one of like three people at a nature preserve making official decisions about trails, events, putting in a prairie, and designing a series of illustrations for a storybook trail etc., and it’s just because last summer I started coming over once a week to help the naturalist out for a couple hours. Mine now. you too can steal an organization and shape it to your will 🫵

my favorite thing about ryliver is that it's so clear that they're painfully aware of the fact that buddie wasn't even the original plan and was just accidentally born out of their insane sexual chemistry

My heart busts a nut every time someone tells me they saw something and thought of me

Thinking about Eddie who said, “You got the family you’re born into and the one you choose. Well, that’s what the 118 is, the family we chose.” And who said, “It’s the thing that ties us all together, so that no one person has to carry the weight alone.” And how he’s so aware of what this community means to him and he never forgets it. Because he left El Paso looking for his people and he found them and will never not appreciate them for giving him what he was missing. He remembers every birthday. He shows up to every dinner, every outing, every crisis. He keeps in touch even when he’s miles and miles away. Sometimes he can be mean and fight and lash out, but when he apologizes (and he always does, in his own way) it’s not just an “I’m sorry,” it’s something that comes from a true love and care for his people. It’s checking in on Bobby and helping him through his guilt about Jonah. It’s bringing over Christopher and Pepa to be with Buck when they’re grieving. He’s very thoughtful when it comes to that family dynamic, and so secure in his place within it, and for someone who spent so long not being a good enough son, not being a good enough husband, it’s so special that he has his family where he belongs as himself and knows it. And is confident enough in it to remind everyone else when they need it and to consistently put it into words the way he does.
