shannon's death wasn't an example of fridging in my opinion, and it's extremely annoying that fandom uses it as an excuse to accuse the show of hating women, as though there aren't multiple main female characters (most of them woc) who drive the plot forward and have their own arcs and stories. i can understand liking her character and wishing she could have stuck around, but that can be expresssed without throwing around terms like fridging or misogyny without care for what they mean.

based on the time this ask was sent (which i read while half asleep this morning and totally forgot to reply to) this was inspired by my tags on this reblog:

#i'm sorry on friday i v drunkenly tried to convince three of my male colleagues to watch #the terror #bc of the fact that this is the hottest i have ever found jared harris #and when none of them believed me #and then when i kept going on about it austin texted our group chat to ask our former colleague jess if she agreed with me #since jess is currently mid-way through watching the season on my recommendation #and i got her to agree that #francis crozier #is hot af no matter what any of the guys said lol #(okay that's not true she 'offered her agreement hesitantly' and then when i went on for a little while longer she said i was 'pushing it') #(BUT I'M STILL RIGHT)

to which i say—YOU'RE right, I'M right, jared harris was GENUINELY hot as francis crozier in the terror. it's some combination of that irish brogue and the slightly longer sideburns and the naval uniform in that perfect shade of blue and his overall air of (well earned) smug competence. IT'S SO ATTRACTIVE. i am obsessed.

hi Pauline! 🤗

1. What made you start the show?

Jennifer Love Hewitt being cast as Maddie! she's always been one of my favorite actresses so when I saw she was going to be on the show I just had to watch!

9. Favorite brotp?

I'd have to say Bobby and Chimney! they've always had one of my favorite friendships on the show and there are just so many great moments between them.

26. Hottest moment?

the moment in 4x12 where Eddie and Buck are kinda interrogating Ravi about the calls they got because they are looking for the treasure? and Buck's got his foot up on the bench and Eddie's buttoning his shirt next to him and they just both look really good

Have a good day!!

Hi! :) Thanks for your ask! You have a good day, too!!

⏰ What time of day do you prefer to write?

I prefer to write in the morning if possible. Usually it isn't of course, because work and I tend to write in the late afternoon/early evening mostly. Or at the weekend if there aren't other plans.

🖋 What is the most recent line you’ve written?

Danny’s fingers are itching to scoop up a handful of snow and start a snowball fight—too bad that he’s carrying his skis on his shoulder right now.

(The most recent line I've actually written is in German, though:

Sie gehen eine Zeit lang schweigend nebeneinander her, aber als sie an eine Stelle kommen an der ein schmaler Pfad in den Wald führt, bleibt Leo stehen.)

i saw you enchanté post and i went to check out some of their pronunciation in french since it's my native language and honestly, they're doing a very good job with what i've heard. french is a really hard language to pronounce if you're not native but even if it were "super easy" to pronounce, that doesn't matter

i've known non native speakers who have kept their accents even after living here for years or even decades and so what?? they still speak more languages than most french people. plus i'd love to see french speakers try and speak thai with a flawless accent lol

anyway this is getting long oops i also wanted to say that we don't have a lot of stuff in common but it's always a joy to see you on my dash!! have a great day!!

hi pauline, dear!!!!

“i’d love to see french speakers try and speak thai with a flawless accent” exactly! just think the other way around and how learning a whole new language with a whole new alphabet is Really challenging!! we should Never diminish other people’s hard work!!! and accents are a natural thing!!!

thank you for checking it out and for your ask! some people are really just being unreasonable about it! the enchanté crew did great and i’m proud of them!!

Thank you so much, swet Pauline!!!🥰💕

hey hey bestie! I present to you an angsty pining build up to a confrontation that I am yet to see through and bulk out (I do however have some of the dialogue for said confrontation tho)

hey hey bestie! I present to you an angsty pining build up to a confrontation that I am yet to see through and bulk out d Something was different, he just couldn’t put his finger on what it was. Buck was still that same happy-go-lucky guy with boundless energy that was always by his side out on calls.

Buck had been there at the hospital, holding his hand so he didn’t wake up alone which was his explanation when Eddie commented on it. He’s always quick to smile when they knock knees in the truck or when someone says something, and Buck cheerfully goes off on a tangent about something somewhat related to the conversation just like always.

Nothing has changed and yet something has. No one else seemed to have taken any notice so maybe it was just Eddie being hypervigilant after his ordeal and he’s just imagining things. At least that what he thought until it hit him like a ton of bricks on his way home from work.

Buck was pulling away from him. It didn’t seem obvious throughout the day when they’re working because they have so many other things to focus on. But now that he thinks about it, every possible interaction between them in the few days Buck always seemed to have this guarded expression whenever they were together as if he was hiding something.

Of course, nothing had changed with the way he acted; Buck still smiled and talked and laughed with him as if nothing was wrong but looking back, there always seemed to be the slightest hint of sadness in his eyes that Eddie has never seen before. And now that he thinks about it, Buck had also stopped initiating any kind of physical contact which is something that Eddie never had a problem with before so why the sudden change now?

My darling Frenchie! This is from (yet another) college AU I had in mind. Swim team!captain TK and tutor!Carlos. Still riding the struggle bus big time with this one. Anyway:

“There’s a party Friday night.”

“Ah, the frat guys and jocks.”

“This isn’t high school.”

Carlos laughs. “Life is high school. College is merely one degree above it.”

“So is that a no then?”

“I didn’t realize you’d asked a question.”

“Fair point. Would you like to go to the party with me this Friday?”

Competing doesn’t bring about the kind of nerves he’s feeling now. TK realizes just how much he’s grown to like Carlos, so much so that the mere thought of Carlos rejecting the offer makes him feel a bit sick.

Carlos’ lips pinch together briefly.

“I wouldn’t know anyone there.”

“You’d know me,” TK counters.

“They’re your friends. I wouldn’t want you to feel like you have to stick with me all night. I’m sure you’d want to hang out with them.”

TK’s brows furrow.

“I’d like to hang out with you. And besides, I could introduce you to everyone. I think you’d like them.”

Carlos bites back on his lower lip and TK realizes he may be pushing this too much.

“Sorry. We don’t have to go. We could do something else…if you’re interested.”

Carlos shakes his head and for a moment TK’s heart sinks with disappointment.
