#Luck 6x9

[canonicallyobserving911]

Buck & Eddie: Eddie already gave Buck a family!

2x2 “7.1″ Eddie said: “Christopher, he’s 7.″ Buck said: “And super adorable, I--I love kids.”

2x3 “Help is Not Coming” Buck watches through the glass doors as Eddie runs to hug Christopher.

3x3 “The Searchers” Eddie said: “There’s nobody in this world I trust with my son more than you.”

3x5 “Rage” Eddie said: “Do you know how much Christopher misses you?  How could you, you’re not around!”

3x9 “Fallout” Buck said: “I’m sorry I wasn’t there Eddie.  You and Chris needed me and I had my head so far up my own behind with that stupid lawsuit.”

3x11 “Seize the Day” Eddie said: “That’s what the 118 is, the family we chose.” Buck said: “This is Eddie’s house I’m not really a guest.”

3x16 “The One that Got Away” Eddie had already changed his will but he didn’t tell Buck about it and Buck was worried that he was going to die alone.

4x14 “Survivors” Eddie said: “It’s in my will if I die you become Christopher’s legal guardian.” Eddie also said: “But no one will ever fight for my son as hard as you and that’s what I want for him.”

5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia” Chris called Buck instead of calling 9-1-1 when Eddie was having his mental breakdown and Buck ran to be with his Diaz boys.

5x14 “Dumb Luck” Buck took his family to Equine Therapy.

6x1 “Let the Games Begin” Chris said: “Buck you don’t even have a couch.”

6x9 “Red Flag” Eddie’s facial expression wasn’t happy after Buck said he was officially responsible for the creation of new life.

[outrunningthedark]

it looks like 6x7 is gonna focus on eddie and the bracelet of it all, then 6x8 is gonna focus on multiple characters and then 6x9 is gonna focus on the red flag wildfire emergency of it all - so if were lucky to even get one good buddie scene in all of that which i predict we will since taylor wrote cursed and andrew(?) mightve wrote what's your fantasy but like you i dont have high hopes so if we get it unexpectedly then ill take it

This ask has brought up an important point that I often try to remind people of - the writers matter! Taylor Wong's credits: Jinx (clipboard banter, "Still not sure what inspired the software update.") // Defend In Place (Buddie partnered up for the hospital fire, Buck checks on Eddie when they think they lost Parker and his sister) // Dumb Luck (heart drawings, "I misunderstood the assignment", Buckley-Diaz fam does equestrian therapy) Andrew's credits (gonna pretend it's #confirmed he wrote 6x08): Let's just say his last three scripts were Brawl in Cell Block 9-1-1 (the hostage episode where Buck screamed for Eddie) // Fear-O-Phobia (Eddie's breakdown, Chris calls Buck for help) // Let the Games Begin (Buckley-Diaz lasagna night, couches symbolizing relationships)

[evartology]

how many people like this? seems like hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people are following Evartology It is a funny thought. Geoff and James, the cofounders of Evartology, were just two revolutionary young men who wanted to change the world for better. But maybe the two young guys were 'revolutionary' out of their own choice, not because they were kids of previous generation and were confined under the so-called 'generational rules'. They had been born in the age of internet, and there were literally infinite contents on internet, which they could get in any moment. How would they think 'revolutionary'? tt's not even a surprise if they thought 'to change the world' literally.

[teacupfulofstarshine]

and, my darling, i am nothing without you

at long last, i present the virgil-is-kidnapped fic! heed the cw on this one, folks; it's kind of dark compared to my normal stuff

cw: kidnapping, injury/blood, violence, whump, cursing, mention of knives, hospital mention

word count: 3796

read it on ao3!

This, Virgil thinks, is why he never leaves the fucking batcave.

He’s pretty sure he’s bleeding. He was hit pretty hard on the back of the head when they first ambushed him, and there’s something warm and wet in his hair. He’s on the ground now, phone who-knows-where, and he’s regretting not taking Logan’s offer of a ride.

He stands up, preparing himself to run away, and almost immediately, he’s grabbed again from behind. A hand clamps over his mouth with an iron grip, and an arm locks around his torso, and he kicks out frantically with his legs. “Now, now, it’s not nearly as much fun when you do that,” someone drawls.

Virgil narrows his eyes, mind racing, trying to figure out what he can do. He sticks his tongue out and licks his captor’s hand, and then he gets the idea. he pulls his head back, like he’s struggling, and the captor’s hand follows, and Virgil opens his mouth just a little wider -

He bites down, hard, managing to snare a finger in his jaws. Whoever’s behind him - the unsub, Patton would call him the unsub - swears loudly, and he lets go long enough for Virgil to fling himself out of his grasp.

Virgil lands hard on the concrete floor of the parking garage, pushing himself to his feet and trying to gather his wits. Is it worth it to go for his phone? No, he needs to run. He has to get out of here, right now, before anything else happens. If he’s lucky, he’ll get to the bullpen before the rest of the team leaves.

Luck, however, is not on his side today. Just as he’s starting to stand up, something hard and swift connects with his stomach. Just like that, all the breath is thrown from his body, and he wants to scream or cry or do something but he can’t even breathe.

He’s harshly yanked up by his hair, and then thrown back to the ground. He’s pretty sure his nose is bleeding now; when he gasps in, he tastes the sharp sting of copper. Behind him, Virgil hears the distinctive noise of a zip-tie being pulled out.

Whoever’s behind him zipties his wrists together, the hard plastic digging into the soft skin of his wrist. They tighten another ziptie around his ankles, and then he hears the ssshkk! of a roll of duct tape. The unsub wraps the tape around his wrists, over the ziptie, and then around his knees, and then around his ankles. They pull him up by his hair again, and he winces but doesn’t scream. He won’t give this asshole the satisfaction.

More duct tape is wrapped around his torso, pinning his arms to his sides, and then the unsub drags him across the parking garage by his hair. “If you’re a good boy,” he murmurs, giving a particularly vicious pull, “maybe I won’t gag you.”

He drops Virgil in front of a small, blue car while he pops the trunk. Virgil stares at it, burning the details into his mind, and when the unsub moves to pick him up, he sees the license plate: VC3W87.

The unsub hoists Virgil up and throws him into the trunk, along with the roll of duct tape. Before Virgil can react, the trunk door slams shut. He struggles, but between the zipties and the duct tape his range of motion is pretty much non-existent. And it’s pitch black inside, and Virgil can’t see anything,

The car starts up with a jolt, and loud music begins to play from the speakers. Virgil tries to throw his body weight against the trunk, tries to get his bearings. He tries to feel for the taillight, to kick it out so he can let someone know he’s in here. But the car is jerking around too much, and even if he could kick the light out his hands are bound.

Virgil considers screaming, but the music is too loud. He’s spent his entire life in a tiny 6x9 room, tracking creeps like this guy through computers, and now he’s in the trunk of a car and he’s going to die.

He struggles some more, valiantly, but he can’t get even the slightest inch of movement. The zipties are hurting him, and he’s worried that he’s going to start bleeding if he pulls any harder. He takes a shaky breath, eyes burning. He will not cry. Not here, not now.

He chants the license plate number in his head: VC3W87. VC3W87. VC3W87 VC3W87 VC3W87 VC3W87. He has to figure out how to get this information to his team. He has to get out of here. He has to get back to his brother and his boyfriend and -

Virgil chokes back a sob, because oh god, Patton. It’s Friday. He’s supposed to go over tonight because Patton’s making dinner, and Virgil -

Virgil was planning to propose.

He won’t get that chance tonight. He may never get that chance. He will, in all likelihood, die before they find him. He’ll die, and Patton will never know that he meant more than the world to Virgil, because Virgil was too terrified to ask a question he knew he’d get a yes to.

Virgil takes a deep breath, feeling something hot and wet slide down his cheeks.

He doesn’t think it’s blood this time. *~*~*~*~* Patton waits for around three hours before he calls Virgil. The food is long cold by this point; Virgil hasn’t called or texted to let him know he’d be late. He hasn’t heard anything from Virgil since earlier in the afternoon, when he’d asked if they were still on. Virgil had kissed him and said that they were.

Virgil is not here now.

Patton calls Virgil seven times. Every time, it goes straight to voicemail, without even ringing. He’s starting to worry now, because Virgil is never without his cell phone. He practically gives off his own WiFi signal.

He dials Logan instead, and mercifully, Logan picks up after the third ring. “Patton?” Patton can hear Roman’s voice, softly filtering through the speaker, but he can’t make out any words.

“Logan, is Virgil with you?” Patton asks.

“I thought you two had a date tonight? Didn’t you two leave the office together?”

“No, I - I wanted to surprise him, and he said he had to get something from his apartment. He told me he’d meet me here three hours ago, but I haven’t heard from him since earlier today at work!”

“Did you try calling him?”

“Seven times,” Patton says. “It went straight to voicemail - didn’t even ring.”

Shuffling noises as Logan moves around. “That’s not right. Virgil always has his phone on him.”

“We should go back to the office and check on him,” Patton says.

“Virgil had the car today, I’m at Roman’s.”

“I’ll drive you to the office, sweetheart,” Roman choruses; Logan must have put him on speakerphone. “We’ll see you there?”

“Okay,” Patton says. “I’m calling Thomas, too, okay?”

“The more, the merrier,” Roman says, and Patton can hear the smirk. It’s almost reassuring.

Almost.

He pulls into the parking garage, sprinting up the staircases to the level where Virgil’s car was parked. He spots the car almost instantly - still there, and there’s a suspicious red stain on the concrete, surrounded by shards of black and purple plastic. Patton gazes, horrified, at the empty space three away from Virgil’s car, at the dark black skidmarks that definitely weren’t there this morning.

His phone rings, and he picks it up. “Anderson.”

“Patton, it’s me,” Thomas says. “I got your message - what’s going on?”

Patton’s throat is suddenly dry, and he has to force the words out. “Thomas, I - I think Virgil’s been kidnapped.”

Footsteps ring out behind him, and Patton whirls around, pulling his gun out with his free hand in case whoever took Virgil is still waiting - what for, he doesn’t know, but he’s ready to fight.

Logan holds his hands up in surrender. “Patton, relax. It’s Logan.” Next to him, Roman tenses, hand hovering over his gun. Even as he puts his own gun away, Patton’s heart warms a little to see how ready to defend Logan Roman is. His heart immediately chills a little, because if he’d pushed just a little bit harder for Virgil to come home with him, he might be here.

“Patton!” Thomas calls, and Patton remembers he’s on the phone. “You think what?”

“His car is still in the parking garage!” Patton says. “There’s blood on the concrete, there are - there are skid marks that weren’t here before, and - and there’s pieces of what i think are his cell phone all over, and -”

He doesn’t realize he’s crying until Logan’s hand is on his shoulder. Patton’s been doing this for years, much longer than Logan has, why is he crying?

“He’s gone, Thomas,” Patton chokes. “Virgil - Virgil is gone.”

They congregate in the conference room. Logan’s face is blank, but it’s the careful kind of blank he schools his face into when he’s trying not to let his emotions get the better of him. He has a death grip on Roman’s hand, and Roman doesn’t say anything.

Thomas meets them in the office, face uncharacteristically grim. “Crime scene unit is on its way to the garage. We have to have faith, guys.”

“Virgil’s not trained,” Logan mutters.

“What?”

“He’s not trained. We - we have protocol that we learn in the event we’re kidnapped. Standard procedure. Virgil never got that training because he’s not a field agent.” Patton’s blood turns to ice in his veins.

Logan jumps, as though he’s been slapped, and pulls his phone out of his pocket. It’s buzzing with a blocked number. Patton pulls his own phone out and opens a recording app. Logan sees it opened, answers the call, and puts it on speakerphone.

“Am I speaking to Agent Logan Wallace of the FBI?” The voice is electronically filtered, altered to make it impossible to recognize.

“Yes, you are,” Logan says. Patton is impressed at how calm and steady his voice is, but he can see his shaking hands. “With whom am I speaking?”

“My name is unimportant. What is important is what I have.”

“And what might that be?” Logan asks. Roman squeezes his hand.

“Many things, most of which would interest any other member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But there is only one thing that would interest you, Agent Logan Wallace of the FBI.”

“And what might that be?” Logan repeats. Patton picks up on the almost-undetectable tremor in his voice.

“Virgil Knight.” Patton opens his mouth, but Thomas holds up a hand in warning. Don’t.

“How do I know you have him? How do I know this isn’t a joke?”

“Are you asking for proof of life, Agent Logan Wallace of the FBI?”

“Yes,” Logan says.

There’s a staticky shuffling noise on the other end. “You have two minutes,” the voice says, and then there’s the sharp sound of duct tape being torn away.

“Virgil?” Logan’s voice is slightly higher-pitched and frantic. “Virgil, are you there?”

“Lo?” Patton wants to cry in relief, because that’s Virgil’s voice. He’s alive - for now, at least. His voice is shakier than Patton would like it to be, but it’s his voice.

“Virgil, are you alright? Where - where are you?”

“Don’t be blue, Logan,” Virgil says. “Life’s too dan small for that.”

“Virgil, what happened?”

“I need you to - to do me a favor, okay? I need you to tell - tell Victor to bring Charlie three whiskeys, alright? The ones from 1987, alright?”

“Virgil, what does that mean?”

“Victor needs to bring Charlie three whiskeys from - from ‘87,” Virgil repeats, voice more frantic. “Logan, you have to -”

There’s a sharp smack, and Virgil shouts in pain, and then the electronic voice is back. “Will that be sufficient proof, Agent Logan Wallace of the FBI?”

“Why do you have my brother?” Logan demands.

“You have mine,” the voice responds. “I propose a trade. You have six hours to consider the offer. I will call back and await a response. If you value his life, you will cooperate.”

The line goes dead.

Patton barely registers Roman pulling Logan into his arms, barely registers Thomas reaching for him. There’s something white rushing in his ears, clouding his vision, and when he blinks and his vision clears, his fist is on the table. He’s punched it.

“Patton, you gotta breathe,” Thomas says, and his voice is low and soothing but Patton doesn’t want to be soothed. “We have to find him,” Patton seethes. “We have to find him and then we have to find whoever took him so I can break their goddamn face.”

*~*~*~*~*

Virgil shifts restlessly against the tape and zipties holding him in place. He’s bound to a hard wooden chair now, locked in a dingy concrete room. There are mold stains on the ceiling and water dripping somewhere, but he doesn’t know where.

The door slams open suddenly, and bright white light streams into the previously darkened room, blinding him. A dark silhouette stands in front of him, and there’s something that looks suspiciously like a knife dangling at his side. “Hello there, Virgil Knight. You think you’re soooooo much better than all of us, don’t you? So safe in your little computer room, getting us captured and hunted down by your little FBI compadres. Well, not this time!”

Virgil struggles against his bindings. He tries to speak, but after the last time he was “interrogated” (wherein he’d cursed his captors out and then attempted to bite one of them), his mouth is plastered with duct tape.

“Awwwww, are you upset? Does that bother you? Well, don’t worry your ugly little head about it. You’re not going to see them ever again.”

The knife blade flashes in the light, and Virgil jerks against his bindings again.

*~*~*~*~*

“It has to mean something,” Logan says, studying the whiteboard where he’s transcribed Virgil’s cryptic message. “It has to! Virgil would not simply say things like that with no purpose. We do not even know a Charlie. Or a Victor!”

“I know, Logan,” Thomas says. “But you have to take a breath. You’re never going to help your brother if you can’t calm down.”

“I will never calm down while my brother is prisoner of some - some - some criminal!” Logan hisses. Patton, who hasn’t stopped pacing in the corner since the phone call, nods tersely. Roman tilts his head at the message from where he sits on the table, squinting.

“What if it’s a license plate?”

“What do you mean, what if it’s a license plate?” Patton asks. “How is it a license plate?”

“Virgil’s never one to shy away from curse words,” Roman says. “But he said ‘Life’s two dan short’ instead of ‘too damn,’ which is something he’d never do unless he was trying to send a message.”

“Two door sedan,” Logan says suddenly, slamming his fist against the table. “Virgil must have meant that he was abducted in a two door sedan!”

“So if that was what he meant, the rest of the message really could have been a coded attempt to give us the license plate,” Thomas says. “But how?”

“I would say it was a coded language attempt, but Virgil does not speak any language except for English and computer code,” Logan says.

“What about the NATO phonetic alphabet?” Patton asks. “Didn’t you and Vee used to write coded notes to each other when you were small?”

“We - of course! How could I have been so blind!” Logan says, smacking his forehead. He quickly begins circling words and muttering to himself. “Here - Charlie is ‘C’ in the alphabet. Victor is ‘V’ and Whiskey is ‘W’! That means that these numbers - 3, 8, 7 . . .”

Logan picks up a whiteboard marker and writes VC3W87 oh the board. “This must be our license plate. On a two door sedan.”

Patton pulls his gun out of his holster and checks that the bullets are fully loaded. “Let’s go.”

*~*~*~*~*

Virgil’s head sags against his chest. He can feel his eye swelling up with a bruise, and the only reason he’s no longer gagged is that his nose is bleeding so much he couldn’t breathe. He’s covered in bruises and cuts, and he’s definitely dehydrated. All he can think about is his family.

He wants to have Roman burst into his office singing loudly, disrupting his latest coding project. He wants to sit and criticize old movies with Logan. He wants to curl up in bed with Patton after a hard week of work, to feel Patton’s fingers in his hair, to press his lips to Patton’s cheek. He wants to go home, and he’s probably never going to see it again.

He can hear some time of commotion down the hallway, and he exhales shakily, closing his eyes. He’s not ready for another round of torture. He’s not ready to face the inevitability of losing his life.

Someone discharges a gun - once, twice, thrice, four times. Virgil lifts his head, confused, and suddenly the door is kicked open again.

“Virgil?!”

Great, now he’s hearing voices. He wants so badly to see his little brother again that he’s hearing things. He can’t believe it’s come to this, but being kidnapped does weird things to your mind, he guesses -

“Virgil, it’s me! I’m here, it’s okay!”

He opens his eyes to see Logan staring down at him, eyes wide behind the reflections on his glasses. “I’m gonna get you out of here. I’m here. I’m here.” He reaches behind him and pulls out one of Virgil’s knives, kneeling down to saw at the duct tape and zip ties.

“L . . . Lo . . . you got my message?” Virgil says softly. “I always knew . . . between us . . . you were the . . . the smart one . . .”

“We are both smart in our own ways, you incomparable imbecile,” Logan hisses. “Enough of this. Roman and Patton are taking down the asshole that kidnapped you.”

“Pat . . . here? I - I have to - where is . . .”

“Did you find him?!” an achingly familiar voice cries, sprinting through the doorway and sinking to his knees in front of Virgil’s chair. “Vee! Are you okay?!”

“Pat,” Virgil sighs, leaning up into the warm hands on his face. Patton sobs and presses their foreheads together. “Patty . . . Pat, you . . . marry me?”

“What?! Virgil, what are you -”

“Marry me,” Virgil repeats, Patton’s face blurring out in front of him. “Love you . . . wanna . . . wanna marry . . . have to ask . . . before . . . too late . . . love you . . . marry . . . me?”

His eyes slide closed, and his head leans against the comforting warmth of Patton’s shoulder.

*~*~*~*~*

Virgil’s eyes slide open, and everything is white.

“Am . . . I dead?” His tongue feels like it’s wrapped in thirty thousand layers of cotton gauze.

“I fucking hope not, after all the trouble we went through to get you back,” someone snarks. Virgil turns his head away from the blinding white of the sheets and the walls and the floor to focus on a splash of color - Roman, sitting in an uncomfortable-looking plastic hospital chair with Logan slumped across three more chairs beside him. Logan is wearing Roman’s bright red hoodie, head resting in Roman’s lap as he sleeps, and he looks uncharacteristically young.

“R . . . oman?”

“Hey there, Batman,” Roman says, smiling softly. “How are you holding up?”

“Lousy,” Virgil croaks. He shifts, wincing. “Ah! What hit me?”

“Someone with a complex. Multiple times. In the face, torso, shoulders, legs, arms, et cetera et cetera. You’ve got some fractured ribs, a nasty black eye, severe dehydration and malnourishment . . . but you’re alive.”

“Where’s Pat?”

“He was keeping a vigil here for the past few days you were out. Thomas forced him home to shower and sleep, so Lo and I are taking care of you.”

Logan stirs at the mention of his name. “Mmngh . . . Ro . . . wha’s . . . hap’nin . . .”

“Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey, mi querido,” Roman says softly.

“I do not like eggs . . . or bacon . . . wh . . . my brother?”

“Hey,” Virgil says softly, coughing a little. Logan immediately sits upright, so fast that his legs get tangled in the armrests and he nearly faceplants on the linoleum. “Lo, are you -”

“Virgil!”

Logan scrambles onto the hospital bed and presses himself into Virgil’s arms. He’s shaking, and Virgil winces as he lifts his arms but it doesn’t stop him from wrapping Logan up in a hug. “Lo . . . I’m sorry . . . I didn’t . . . mean to . . .”

“I know,” Logan whispers. “I know that no one intends to get kidnapped. But I - you - you are my brother, and the most important person in my life.” Virgil flicks his eyes up to look at Roman, who just smiles knowingly. “I cannot even fathom what would happen to me if you were not in my life. You are so incredibly important to me. I do not want to lose you, ever. Please, Virgil.”

“You’re not losing me,” Virgil murmurs, holding his brother tightly. Logan makes a soft, pained noise and hugs Virgil as tight as he dares. “Is - is Patty coming?”

“I just texted him,” Roman says. “He’ll be here in a minute.”

*~*~*~*~*

Patton is barely able to restrain himself from running through the hospital hallways. He grips the purple patchwork hoodie tightly in his hands. It’s the only piece of Virgil he’s had with him since he was kidnapped, and he’s terrified. Roman says that Virgil is awake now, but what if it’s a lie? What if -

He throws open the hospital room door, barely able to restrain himself from slamming it against the wall. Virgil is propped up in bed, pale skin even more unnaturally so against the bright white of the hospital linens and underneath the fluorescent lights. He has an IV line in his arm, and the eyeshadow under his eyes is replaced by dark bags and a nasty bruise. He smiles at the doorway.

“Hey, Pat.”

Logan is sitting at his bedside, holding his brother’s hand tightly. Roman is nodding off against the wall, slumped over in a hospital chair. Patton drags a chair up to the other side of the bed and takes Virgil’s other hand.

“Vee . . .”

“Sorry I scared you,” he says softly.

“Don’t apologize for this like it’s somehow your fault!” Patton laughs, voice high-pitched and hysterical.

“Pat,” Virgil says. “What I asked you when I was rescued . . . do you remember?”

“You were delirious,” Patton says, even as his heart beats rapidly.

“Before I got kidnapped, I was gonna propose to you. I don’t have my ring with me, and I can’t get down on one knee, but I - I want - Pat, you’re the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me?”

Patton feels the tears streaming down his face again.

“Of course I will, sweetheart. Of course I will.”

In 6x11... Chris will be wearing a navy-blue shirt when he talks to Buck in the hospital

Since 5x18 “Starting Over”, The Buckley-Diaz Family have been wearing different shades of blue a lot and a detailed explanation about this topic is linked here.  Therefore, Chris wearing a navy-blue shirt while he sits next to Buck’s hospital bed is important because his shirt is the same color as EDDIE’S COUCH which is also Chris’ and Buck’s couch too.

Eddie is Chris’ biological father and Buck is Chris’ second dad.  When Buck and Eddie become a CANON couple and get married, Chris will legally and officially become Buck’s son and Buck will no longer just be his legal guardian.

Reminder, in 6x1 “Let the Games Begin”, Buck, Eddie and Chris discussed the fact that Buck still hadn’t purchased a couch and it had been four months since he broke up with his girlfriend.  Chris was the one who said it was weird and it appears he may have been telling Buck it was weird he didn’t have a family even though they (Eddie and Chris) have been in front of him this whole time.  The significance associated with Eddie’s and Buck’s couches can be found here in this Couch META.

In 6x9 “Red Flag” Eddie fell asleep on the couch later in the morning after Buck made his announcement about him being the creator of new life but please note he’s wearing the color navy-blue too and it matches his couch perfectly. The significance of Eddie playing the “Punch Planet” video game alone during this episode is included here.

In 5x14 “Dumb Luck” Eddie woke up on the couch after Buck had already taken Chris to school.  This is important because he slept on the couch in the same position Buck had slept on it exactly one year earlier after The Shooting!  Also, his t-shirt is navy-blue.

In 4x14 “Survivors” Chris woke up Buck while he was sleeping on the couch and asked if he could talk to his dad.  Please note, Chris is wearing navy-blue pajamas.

In 4x3 “Future Tense” Buck was wearing a navy-blue sweater while he sat on the couch playing “Punch Planet” with Christopher.

In 3x11 “Seize the Day” Buck and Chris were horseplaying on the couch while Eddie told Chimney about the family he chose and a few minutes later Buck entered the kitchen and told Maddie, “This is Eddie’s house I’m not really a guest”.

What will Chris say to Buck when he visits him in the hospital?  Only the showrunner(s), writers and producers know the answer to that question but he’s not wearing a navy-blue shirt for nothing, especially since it’s their family’s shade of blue.  Only a few more days until 6x11 airs and the audience will get to hear what Chris says to Buck while Buck’s in a coma.

Luck 6x9 Poet, Painter, Musician May 11, 2021

Derek Michelin (born May 14, 1972), better known by his stage name Luck 6x9, is a French rapper, producer, poet, painter and author from Marseille Provence. He is a member of the groupClickhaze. His stage name comes from his jersey number in high school, which in turn came from Buffalo, New York rapper/producer Luck 6x9. https://www.instagram.com/evartology/

https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/objkt/73529

A member of the Marseille hip-hop collective The Mad Negus, Luck 6x9 recorded with the group from 1991 until 1998. He first recorded under the name Solusion, but after being threatened with a lawsuit by the owners of the Solusion trademark, he changed his stage name. He began recording solo in 1996, and has since released over twenty albums, most on the Montreal-based independent label Constellation Records. His music has appeared in many movies and on television, including the award winning film "Half Nelson".

He is also a painter, poet, and author. His first book of prose, " Doug Beach", was published in 2010. He released a poetry book, "Tongue Doug Beach", in 2012.

Here, he talks about the difficulties in painting, the process, and the rewards. He also explains how he creates his body of work.

We are interviewing Luck 6x9, an avant-garde artist, whose medium is acrylic and oil paint. He is also a certified  post-modernist, and has painted over two hundred works of art, writing, and poetry. He is exclusive to the NFT community, and we ask him about his motives for art, his process, and how he feels about the digital age of art. We ask him how he feels his art will be viewed and what his intentions are with his art. We ask him to explain his appreciation of art, and how he feels about the digital age of art. We ask him for some advice for other artists in the digital age, as well as his suggested reading for further learning.

Luck 6x9: A piece of poetry is verbal art, and my painting is both verbal and pictorial art.

One of my official goals is to make my art a new form of linguistic communication between man and God.

I usually avoid computer usage as much as my nature allows me.

I don't feel frustrated or disappointed when dealing with computer errors such as because I don't consider computer errors as errors, but merely as chances.

Kindle Series Management!

I can't tell you how excited I am that KDP has added the manage series feature for independent authors to be able to group their works together. I took advantage of it last night and grouped several miniseries together.  Check these first five titles out! The rest are coming as I revise and publish! Draoithe: Tantalu *Prequel Draoithe: A Pack Forms Volume 1 Draoithe: The Council Volume 2 Draoithe: Magic Calls to Magic Volume 3 Draoithe: Dragons Come Volume 4 Draoithe: The Ruiri Complete and other miniseries will be grouped together soon! 

6x9 Paperbacks!

As you all know, I made a mistake when I first began publishing the books and uploaded my manuscripts as 8.5x11 books as I was learning. I continued it because that size is much less expensive to produce, but have caved to the belief that the 6x9 size is the accepted standard book size. So if you collect the paperbacks and want the standard version, look for Draoithe: The Ruiri Complete Volume 5 edition 2 along with it being added to the Draoithe Series Saga on Amazon. This is exactly the same story only it is in a differently sized book. All of the parts were already 6x9. so it made sense to offer both especially when the 6x9 allows for expanded distribution and the 8.5x11 does not.

Shameless Self-Promotion!

Draoithe Magic Calls to Magic Part 1 is FREE from Oct. 29-Nov 2. Be sure to grab your FREE copy before the hourglass drops all of its sand! Vampires arrive at Draoithe and the dream is no longer all about shifters! If you grab a copy, let me know what you think. Or better yet leave a review if you can. I love to hear what you think. 

Behind the Scenes

The day job does suck the energy to write and focus on my books. I do so wish that I had the luxury of being able to dispense with it, but at least I do something I'm good at that I can take pride in even if it's no longer what I would choose to do. Sigh... Merch is still a sore point. And that's why I'm pushing back once again on any kind of audio/video book or podcast. I want to do all of that so much, but there is only so much time in a day, and I still want to write. So... If it matters to anyone, I have added nearly 10,000 words to the last title in the series. No, the other 'last' stories aren't finished, but that's okay because I write the scenes as they come to me, not necessarily in the right order. LOL. I do see the end, so I guess I'm working with the results in mind to be able to obtain the goal. I am taking a week off from publishing new titles so I can get the series organized correctly on KDP! Wish me Luck! No Negotiations will begin publishing next weekend! Gaspard Gautier is back!

Teaser Excerpt from the WIP

Saoghail Elias stepped into Enrith as the new Ri tuaithe. He was too young and dumb to be able to do the job. He knew it. His father hadn’t given him an option. He'd pissed the man off. No real surprise there. How was it his fault that King Elias’s mistress preferred his cock to his father’s?  Whatever. Only he was in nowhere and seriously missed the court. The old king of Enrith died. His son was a bastard and only six years old. The snot-nosed brat wandered around the castle irritating the men at arms crying over his dead father. He would have to do something about the kid. He should’ve killed the boy and deleted the threat, but Vadi was just a kid. None of Elias’s men at arms were happy to have been shipped off to the backwater castle on the edge of Connacht. The kid wasn’t faring well at the hands of surly men. Saoghail sure as hell was in no mood to babysit the boy. Murdering the little guy felt far too gruesome, though. Saoghail sighed. Forget the kid, what was he doing there? He was a second son. He knew next to nothing about running a castle...

Okay I have to run away and get some work done. Happy Halloween and enjoy the weekend! Remember to be kind and leave a review when you read! Be Careful! Happy reading, ​Ophelia Kee

My last ask post was broken between mobile and pc, so let me go through it again @kayrosebee:

I’ve had a very wonderful holiday and I’m trying to make the most of my time off with lots of (incoming) art and things!

I really hope you had a good one too!!

So, I’m feeling more and more removed from traditional art as I go, but I’ve absolutely got my favorite brands.

As far as watercolor paper goes, you can’t go wrong with Arches. They’re a little spendy, but it’s worth it not to have cheap paper when doing watercolor.

They make both a cold-pressed and hot-pressed textured paper, and all that means is a larger, more traditional watercolor tooth to the paper (on the cold-pressed) and a smoother, more airbrushed surface (on the hot-pressed.) Think about goosebumps to remember which is which if you’re purchasing paper online. Cold=large tooth, hot=smooth.

I also have a kinda off brand that I LOVE called the Bee Paper Company, which also happens to be established in my home state, BUT I will say, I only like their small sizes. The larger the paper goes for this company, the less it holds up (and they don’t make very large sizes.)

You can see the size in this picture is 6x9”. I also have some 12x14″, but I can’t find it and I’d rather not use it anyway. It really is nothing like their small cuts…

To prevent buckling of the paper, you have a couple options. The best and most successful way to complete a piece without any buckling is to use a paper block, like my cold-pressed pad is.

All this is, is a block of watercolor sheets already sealed down.You can peel your art up when you’re done just like you tear off a new piece of paper from a drawing pad, and voila! No ripples!

You can also use something called gum (gummed) tape, which will essentially glue a water-saturated piece of paper to your art board.

Be careful though, this tape DOES NOT come off again. You will have to cut your paper to release it, so make sure you leave enough of a border if you’re gonna use this stuff.

You can also help prevent buckling by properly preparing your paper before you start painting on it. There’s a little tutorial here.

All that being said, I do still OFTEN use some traditional 3M painters tape, which does the job, but not perfectly, and I do still have some issues with buckling. (You might recognize this boy. He’s almost done, I swear!!) This tape will not work with pre-saturated paper though.

As far as paint goes, you can really experiment with what you like. I use a combination of Aquarell, Windsor Newton (watercolor and gouache), and Grumbacher (Art Academy is good quality and still relatively affordable. Windsor Newton is a good budget brand, and Aquarell is high end expensive paint that I don’t find much more satisfying (if at all) than the Grumbacher).

My colored pencil accents are nearly always Prismacolor. I could suffocate in my own supply tbh:

But I also have that fancy-pants swiss brand there in a couple colors and, honestly, it’s a little waxy… I could live without it.

I used it in this sketch and it wasn’t nearly as bright as it should have been.

You can use anything you want for the ink accents, but make sure it’s waterproof. I like Micron and Faber-Castell artist pens for line work.

I have also used a regular ballpoint pen for pieces, but ONLY AFTER it’s dry and I know it’s not getting wet again (IT WILL BLEED).

I think that was everything, right??? I hope that helps a little bit with your shopping (I’m nothing if not an art supply princess. I LOVE RESEARCHING IT), and I wish you all the luck on your big projects! I hope we’ll get to see some of them!!!!
