I've seen people posting the idea of Eddie being jealous of Tommy over BuckTommy because he wants Buck for himself

But have we considered Eddie catches himself feeling unexpectedly jealous of Buck because Buck suddenly has a relationship with a man and he's happy and open and free and it's what Eddie has been longing for and can't seem to find in his relationships with women and he's never been able to see why

#Eddie diaz #Pie reacts to 911 #I'm not even caught up to the current season yet #But based on my current understanding of the characters and the s7 material i have seen #Idk I've been thinking about this for 2 days so i decided i didn't need to be caught up to say it #911 show

[ID: two gifs of Buck and Eddie in 911 episode 2.01, in the gym.

GIF 1: Buck telling Eddie, looking frustrated and pissed off, that he's his problem. Overlaid is a gif by @/galacticidiots on Twitter, reading, "I can’t flirt but I can piss you off. It’s the same thing. Both will get your attention. Both will make your cheeks turn a pretty shade of red. Both will have you eyeing my lips."

GIF 2: Eddie eyeing Buck like he's trying to figure him out, tilting his chin up as Buck continues to speak, biting the inside of his bottom lip like he's figured it out.

I tried to write a novel. Not once. Not twice. But about 12 times. Here's how that would play out: 1. I sit down and knock out 10 pages 2. I share it with someone 3. They say "It's goooood" like it's not good 4. I ask for critical feedback 5. They say, "Well....the plot just moves so quickly. So much happens in the first few pages it doesn't feel natural." So I'd write more drafts. I'd try to stretch out the story. I would add dialogue that I tried to make interesting but thought was boring. I would try including environment and character descriptions that felt unnecessary, (why not just let people imagine what they want?) Anyways, I gave up trying to write because in my mind, I wasn't a fiction writer. Maybe I could write a phonebook or something. But then I made a fiction podcast, and I waited for the same feedback about the fast moving plot, but guess what??? Podcasts aren't novels. The thing that made my novels suck became one of the things that made Desert Skies work. I've received some criticism since the show started, but one thing I don't receive regular complaints about is being overly-descriptive or longwinded. In fact, the opposite. It moves fast enough that it keeps peoples attention. I always felt I had a knack for telling stories but spent years beating myself up because I couldn't put those stories into novel form. The problem wasn't me. The problem was the tool I was trying to use. All that to say: If, in your innermost parts you may know that you're a storyteller but you just can't write a book, don't give up right away. You can always do things to get better and there's a lot of good resources. But if you do that for a while and novel writing just isn't your thing, try making a podcast, or creating a comic, or a poem, or a play, or a tv script. You might know you're an artist but suck at painting. Try making a glass mosaic, or miniatures, or try charcoal portraits, or embroider or collage. You might know you're a singer, but opera just isn't working out. Why not yodel? I could keep listing out examples, but the point is this. Trust your intuitions when it comes to your creative abilities, but don't inhibit yourself by becoming dogmatic about which medium you can use to express that creativity. Don't be afraid to try something new. Don't be afraid to make something new. You might just find the art form that fits the gift you knew you always had, and what it is might surprise you

Was this your first nosebleed? Have your gums been bleeding? Do you have a rash anywhere I can't see? What are you doing? Are you diagnosing me?

what if you’re giving birth to twins and it’s the end of daylights savings day and the older twin was born first but the second twin travels back in time and is born an hour before the first twin, would that be fucked up or what.
