big fan of the four-year-old on this flight who yelled "THEY ARE BRINGING COMPLEMENTARY BEVERAGES" when the flight attendants came down with the drinks cart
I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs
ONE DAY tim is going to do an emergency in the station season opener, so that he can tagline it 'the 9-1-1 call is coming from inside the house'
SINKHOLE OPENS UNDER THE STATION. they joke about how last year they were in space and now they're journeying to the centre of the earth.
the thing about buckthena's dynamic is that i feel like there tends to be a compulsion to anchor their relationship to that of their individual relationships to bobby, in one way or another. either buck is bobby's child and therefore athena's child or buck is bobby's dog that athena kind of tolerates. and i think both views are kind of fundamentally misguided because buck and athena have always had their own relationship outside of bobby that informs their dynamic far more than reducing them to who they are to bobby. like, this duo has had their own dynamic since the literal pilot, before bobby and athena ever started dating. their relationship was founded on the ways that their similar strong senses of justice and stubborness combined with their divergent views on responsibility and accountability and authority lead to them clashing and then ultimately learning to respect and understand each other.
in many ways, while athena is often exasperated by buck and buck sometimes disagrees with athena's methods, they treat each other more as equals than people often give them credit for. they really love each other and have a friendship outside of bobby! buck goes to her when he wants to plan a surprise party and athena immediately takes maddie under her wing because she has an established fondness for buck! they sometimes solve cases together and get one another's heads on straight and yes, bond over their love of bobby, because he is someone that they both love. but more than that they're just like, two people who love each other, and i don't know that i need to analogize it in the terms of a nuclear family either way lmao.

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭
this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐
see this is exactly what I'm talking about. this labour is so incredibly invisibilised that there are real human beings, walking about amongst us, leading normal lives, etc., who earnestly believe that machines can make an item of clothing from start to finish.
Hey just in case someone on here doesn’t quite understand how labor intensive making a garment is, here is a list of things that (to the best of my knowledge) cannot be done by machine alone, from a costumer/tailor in training
Cutting - in my opinion, the most labor intensive part of the process. The amount of time/effort needed varies depending on the pattern and if seam allowance is included or marked separately, but no matter what this process can not be done by machine. Each and every panel and piece of fabric that goes into a garment must be cut by hand by a person.
Pinning/clipping - pinning (or clipping) is the stage at which you align the pieces you are going to be stitching together and hold them together with — you guessed it! — either pins or clips. This can not be done by machine.
Stitching - the actual sewing. This can be done by a sewing machine, but that machine still needs to be operated by a human being.
Ironing/pressing - two words that mean the same thing. The iron itself is a machine, but once again, it needs to be operated by a human being.
Finishing - depending on the technique you use, there are certain finishing techniques that can only be done by hand. But, let’s assume we’re talking about fast fashion, which is usually just finished with a simple overlock/serger. Once again: these machines need to be operated by people.
These are just the basic steps to making a garment, and don’t include textile arts that I am not as knowledgeable about, such as weaving, knitting, and crochet. Also, it is important to note that there are a lot of things that can only be done by hand, such as certain stitches and decorative techniques.
Also, the machinery being operated in textile factories is not equivalent to a domestic sewing machine. We’re talking about one of these guys:
See that gray cylinder under the table, behind the knee pedal? That’s the motor. These machines can sew through your fingers bones and all and not even stop. The people in these factories and sweatshops are operating heavy machinery, and are subject to all the risk that comes with that in addition to all of the work I mentioned above.
Please respect textile workers and continue the fight to eliminate the use of sweatshops and exploited labor in the fashion industry!
an alternate universe out there where buck realised he has feelings for eddie during the shooting arc but pushed it down because of reasons. and eddie realised he had feelings for buck during the lightning arc. <- this is only relevant so i can have a b99 inspired scene where bucknatalia and eddiemarisol are on a double date, and natalia lets it slip that buck used to have a crush on eddie. not in a cruel way but maybe eddie does something charming and she’s like damn i get why buck used to like you. (she knows this because buck is attempting to practise emotional honesty in his relationship. and he’s also convinced himself that he’s moved on.) buck is immediately on the verge of a panic attack, stuttering out that it was a few years ago and he’s completely over it. simultaneously avoiding eddie’s eyes and also looking to see if eddie is put off by this. meanwhile eddie is buffering. frozen. he’s caught between ‘buck used to like me’ and ‘he’s completely over it’. he might have stopped breathing for a second. but he also can’t look away from buck because when? and how? and why?. marisol is eating a breadstick. <- just in case you were wondering what was happening on her end.

Explicit | Buddie | chapter 2/4 | 6k | tags: miscommunication, living together, light angst, domesticity, getting together (eventually)
'Hello, welcome to LA zoo, my name is Caleb, how can I help you today?'
'Can we get one family ticket please,' says Buck, Eddie a pace behind him, holding Theo's hand, Chris a pace behind them, looking at his phone.
Buck had let his zoo membership lapse when Chris went to Texas. Despite what Eddie says Chris's enthusiasm has diminished since he became a a teenager, even when he was still in LA, but he promised Theo he'd join them and everyone loves the zoo, just maybe not to a visit-every-weekend degree these days.
Caleb has a rainbow pin on his lanyard and he winks at Buck as he hands over the tickets.
'I gave you a discount,' he says, grinning, 'you have a beautiful family.'
It doesn't feel like cheating because Buck is bisexual and no one from the LA zoo will come barging into Eddie's house to check they're a real family but it's an assumption all the same, a benefit Buck doesn't feel like he's earned. There's rawness there too, abraded and sore. Buck has been trying so hard not to be obvious about it, trying to keep all his messy, unvarnished feelings for Eddie to himself, but being too obvious has always been Buck's problem, his emotions right at the surface for everyone to see, even strangers.
'Thanks,' he says, because he's not about to say all that to Caleb.
'Enjoy your visit!' says Caleb, calling the next people in line forward and Buck heads back over to Eddie, Chris and Theo.

there is always some bullshit happening
me at the cambrian explosion:
would it be so crazy
my "i'm not plural but my headmates are" shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt
idk why i never made the connection before that buck inviting tommy to the wedding is kind of like taylor being at eddie's coming home party. buck the master at inviting people he just started dating 5 minutes ago to his loved one's events lol.
so many people ive known have pushed themselves to burnout trying to deny their disabled reality, skipping accommodations, skipping rests etc. and the world convinces them that the solution to their burnout is to push even harder. it’s a huge tragedy. i know social pressures make it tough but i want more disabled people to make things easier for themselves where possible, to opt out of things that harm them when possible, to quit while they’re ahead. be that person today! protect yourself where you can! take micro breaks while doing your hobby. get that shower chair. sit to brush your teeth. lie down in the middle of the day, even if only for 5 mins. these things add up and it’s so worth it.
happy disability pride month! ACCOMMODATE YOURSELF TODAY!

Runaways
“Buck,” Eddie turns his head. His eyes hurt, with the dryness of them, with the demand and resistance of tears behind them. Buck meets his gaze like it doesn’t hurt. Watches him like this, too, is an easy choice. “I have so much blood on my hands.” “Look at where we come from,” Buck doesn’t scoff, but it’s a near thing, “that doesn’t make you special.” Or: A spaceship, its crew, the Buckley family secret(s), and the father-son duo hitching a ride as far as they can get.

now featuring the following companion pieces on an ao3 near you!
Introductory Personhood
"You're such a pretty little thing," the man murmurs as he tucks his face into Buck's neck for a nip and a kiss, both of which Buck allows for the moment, even as he lets his gaze drift up to the smoggy night sky. "You gonna give me what I want, baby?" Buck sighs, pushes him away slightly by the shoulder to give him a sympathetic smile. "Probably not." Buck & Maddie; 1.6k
Fever Break
"Maddie…" Eddie hesitates and shakes it off in a single inhale-exhale cycle. "Maddie comes from the same place as Buck." "Yeah," Chimney agrees with too much understanding. "It's this shadow of a thing," Eddie says. He can feel the looming presence of it just over his shoulder and he can feel the reach of it's tendrils down his throat whenever he tries to speak of it aloud, but he pushes through because, "I don't know how to… get it out of my house, man."
