❓ - what even is this? Tell me about it -> for Nashville reunion

weirdly I think I have the least to say about this one lol. this one's like ... what if lab rats didn't happen? what if Bobby didn't die, so Eddie never came home for the funeral, so he never left El Paso? what if Bobby never withdrew his name for the firefighter games, half hopeful he'd come home eventually and half assuming they wouldn't get picked anyway? what if the next time Buck and Eddie see each other in person after their goodbye in the rain is competing together hundreds of miles away from home?

it's not actually exploring bobby being alive at all, that's just the divergence point to how they got here. it's about buck and eddie reuniting, figuring out what they are to each other, deciding whether to hold on, whether they'll choose each other or let themselves slip away again.

HI JEAN! sorry this took a while but, here goes!

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

so it was like 2004 and a friend... who I role played Lord of the Rings OCs with… on Neopets… sent me some ff.net fics (can anyone guess which ones?) and I started clicking around and really wanted to try my hand at it. I’d read fic before via webrings but never thought it was something I could easily do? Anyway within the week I was writing Inuyasha fanfic.

🌵 ⇢ share the link to a playlist you love

so..... i don’t really use playlists…… i shuffle artists or albums 😂 the last playlist i remember using was the eras tour setlist so that i could be #prepared to keep up with my beautiful swiftie wife

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

i desperately need to wend my way back thru this fandom to figure out what my touchstone fics are, so in lieu of that endeavor: i’m gonna reach deep into the archive and tap on one of my favorite fics of all time: “On the Line, or Five Times Roy Mustang Drunk Dialed Riza Hawkeye” by the inimitable @glamaphonic, because Rawles is just that good and also lit up my brain like christmas lights when I first read it, and it still holds up super well today.

🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before

i don't think i've talked about this on tumblr main before so: as a kid, i lived with my aunt and uncle for about 3 years while my mom went back to school and tl;dr she had to threaten kidnapping charges to get them to give me back after she graduated, which caused a huge multi-generational family fight followed by years of estrangement and then I had to be the one to restore contact when I wanted like. anyone there for my high school graduation. so anyway. I umm definitely in no way find certain fictional characters particularly relatable because of this. 😂

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh

they very much did kill jesus

sorry i didn't see this yesterday but !! thank you!! i started carrying him around back in spring, i think? it was this year for sure, at least. he doesn't have a work id but i've considered making him a little uniform shirt.

and yes i get asked about him all the time!! my coworkers think he's funny and make jokes about him, and kids LOVE him (which is helpful bc i can come across a bit intimidating irl lmao).

here he is in his department (my back pocket)

irresistible: "too many sharks, not enough blood in the waves / you know i give my love a four letter name"

ab/ap: "and you can kill me, kill me or let God sort 'em out"

centuries: "and this is supposed to match / the darkness that you felt / i never meant for you to fix yourself"

the kids aren't alright: the entire song "and it's our time now if you want it to be / maul the world like the carnival bear set free"

uma thurman: "divide me down to the smallest i can be / put your, put your venom in me"

jet pack blues: "the sweetness never lasts, you know"

novocaine: "take this sideshow and all its freaks / and turn it into the silver screen dream"

fourth of july: "you are the drought / and i'm the holy water you have been without / and all my thoughts of you / they could heat or cool the room alone"

favorite record: "and you can get what you want but it's never enough"

immortals: "sometimes the only payoff for having any faith / is when it's tested again and again every day"

thank you sm jean!!
