One thing I hate so much about 911 is the LACK OF APOLOGIES.
Bobby shoves Buck against the wall in s1 & it’s written off as acceptable bc Buck is being nosy, like being annoying is a good excuse to put your hands on an employee.
Buck apologized for the lawsuit & not being around in s3, but Bobby never apologized for holding him back (& lying about it) & Eddie never apologized for screaming at him in the grocery store.
Chim assaulted Buck in his apartment before going after Maddie, and it was never addressed. (Also, does anyone remember if Chim apologized for keeping the Daniel secret from Buck but not the bomber in that one episode? I genuinely can’t remember, I haven’t watched the first seasons in like, a year.)
Also, does Maddie ever apologize for telling their parents about Buck being in therapy? I know they fought about it, but it was also tied in with the Daniel secret (which was fucked but they talked about that) and I can’t remember, but that was kind of shitty, too.
Buck maybe purposefully gets rough with Eddie and definitely hurts his ankle during the game. Sure, we see him feeling bad about it & Maddie scolding him, but no actual apology to his best friend, not even a mention of one.
Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, & idk man, people are flawed, and I know that these characters aren’t perfect, but part of that is apologizing & making amends when you’re wrong. So much stuff is just glanced over to keep the story moving, and I get it but I’m not a huge fan of it. They all have this great, family bond, but how sustainable is that when you’re not owning up to your mistakes and making it right when you hurt someone?

All of y'all pretending like heterosexual women are the only ones who experience misogyny, or experience the most misogyny, are not (just) being homophobic, you're being misogynistic.
You're denying women's sex based oppression is real or it's severity. So maybe sit down and shut up and realize that we are still women despite the fact that we are not sleeping with men. You have the ability to make the choice not to sleep with men too. It's not an inaction unique to homosexuals.
I will spread any feminist praxis I want, and if it's insulting for me to reiterate the ideals we preach in these spaces because I'm a homosexual then you can go ahead and be insulted. SSA women have just as much claim to these spaces as you do because we are women and these spaces are for fighting misogyny, which we all experience. It's not just for tackling the misogyny y'all are uncomfortable with, it's for tackling all of it. Get with the program, ladies.

Flying today. This airport wheelchair sucks so badly. I'm grateful that I'm ambulatory still and able to use this shitty wheelchair instead of needing my custom one (and risking it being damaged 🙃) but god do they suck. the footplates are so wide I can feel my hips getting aggravated and the back sling gives no support which is one of the main supports I need from a wheelchair. Also, it's clearly never been cleaned beyond high contact points being wiped down.
Also also, the wheels? have chunks missing from them??? What happened? They're solid rubber and have slashes and wear but also just huge chunks out of them.

That AITA poll I just reblogged really got me thinking...it's simply amazing how many people feel obligated to stay in a relationship for some arbitrary reason, or guilty for breaking up with someone because they feel it wasn't justified enough.
I'm here to tell you that this is ridiculous. You can break up with anybody at any time for any reason. Period. That's it. You don't have to "wait it out." You don't have to stay out of some twisted sense of loyalty or because they're a good person or whatever. If you don't want to be in a relationship anymore, leave it. I swear to god it is so, so, so much more healthy to leave an unwanted relationship than to stay in something that isn't bringing you joy.

i’m still crying (mostly from happiness) over the ending of to my star 2, but i just want to talk about something i love so, so much about the scene between ji woo and seo joon in the beginning of ep 10.
it’s obviously a parallel to the confession kiss scene in the first season where seo joon takes the initiative, says the whole “if it’s too hard, i’ll go to you” line, and takes all the steps up to ji woo before kissing him.
what i love is that it’s so intentional in how it one ups that scene. the scene in season one is pretty much all seo joon. HE says the line, HE goes up to ji woo, HE kisses him (and we see in the intro how HE is the one that clasps ji woo’s hand first, unfurls it like he’s opening ji woo up, and holds it). obv we know that ji woo wanted all this, but it’s still extremely one-sided. they kiss, and there’s no extra conversation about their relationship. that’s just how it starts.
i was always hoping that ji woo would be the one to go to seo joon this time bc it would make sense as part of his character arc, and i’m so, so glad that’s what ended up happening. but what makes this scene better is that, even though ji woo is the one ‘confessing' this time around, it’s a lot more reciprocal. ji woo finally explains how he felt this whole time, begs seo joon to come back to him, asks for a hug. JI WOO is the one that literally takes all those steps up to seo joon (except for that last one), grips onto seo joon’s shirt, and reminds him of what seo joon said to him in the last season. but seo joon has to be the one to take that last step forward and accept ji woo into his arms too. the both of them need to make the effort, amend and understand one another in order for them to work out this time. i love that the hug feels much more reciprocal this time bc they’re both hugging each other now, nothing one-sided about it.
ji woo put seo joon through a lot...and i can understand how this moment might not be enough for some people if they were in seo joon’s position, but that’s what makes seo joon and ji woo so compatible with one another. seo joon can SEE the effort that it takes ji woo to be doing this. for ji woo, going back to seo joon and begging him like this, is an extremely difficult thing to do. it takes so much out of him...seo joon’s a lot more persistent and thick-skinned (he’s prob had to learn to be seeing as he’s been in the entertainment industry since he was a child). it’s why ji woo says that he can’t keep coming back in the same way that seo joon did for him...his personality isn’t the type that can keep taking rejection like seo joon can. he’s mustered all his courage up to open up to seo joon completely for this one moment. it’s a huge step for ji woo, literally and figuratively. like this scene intentionally takes plays on a STAIRCASE. and seo joon is deliberately positioned higher than ji woo here bc he’s the one that’s holding all the cards now. ji woo’s taken the steps, and now seo joon’s the one that determines what happens between them.
but we all know seo joon is loyal, and forgiving, and madly in love with ji woo. he’s also always understood ji woo. he seems cold on the outside, but he’s fragile on the inside (it’s one of the things that he mentions he likes about ji woo in season one). he knows that ji woo self-sabotages as a defense mechanism to prevent himself from getting more hurt...but he also knows that as much as ji woo hurt him, ji woo’s in just as much pain himself. he just doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve in the same way that seo joon does...he keeps it all hidden inside himself.
so seo joon doesn’t prolong the pain, or punish ji woo for what happened. he’s not bitter, or resentful, or holding onto the hurt anymore. the moment he saw ji woo there staring up at him in tears, all of that fell away and he only wanted to accept ji woo back into his arms (his heart) and make all that pain go away. all he’d ever wanted was for ji woo to COMMUNICATE with him instead of keeping everything to himself, so when he finally does, that’s more than enough for him. he immediately reassures ji woo that he’s there for him.
i love how as soon as he does that, ji woo knows he’s in his safe space and starts apologising and spilling all the feelings he’s kept inside of him for so long. i esp love the difference compared to the season one scene in that they actually TALK to each other and address their issues and insecurities this time. they’ve had time to think, to know what’s at stake now, and are better equipped at handling any problems or conflicts that might arise in the future. they’re not jumping back into this uncertain or unaware anymore.
i just feel so warm inside knowing how they accept one another and their limits. that's what makes them work as well as they do. it's tougher for ji woo to take more steps in this way than it is for seo joon, but seo joon is always there to help nudge him along when he needs it. to hold his hand. to go to him when things are too hard for him. he's just so, so supportive of ji woo. and ji woo has learnt to let himself love and be loved now. it’s really beautiful :’) gonna miss these boys soooooooooo much.
