anbu kakashi is plaguing me again

#i'm so torn between wanting to write the sweetest tooth-rotting-est lovey dovey smut with jonin/hokage kakashi #and wanting to write out a laundry list of depraved humiliating acts that i'd let anbu kakashi do to me #the feminine urge to never make up your fucking mind #it's his slutty exposed biceps #i have scraps for more anbu kakashi but will they come together?? #no clue #rookie rambles

New character building question: if they fall, skin their knee, and drop their preferred beverage (spilling it everywhere), what are they more upset about?

#in other news: FUCKING OW #i skinned my knee and dropped my coffee #im fine now physically but damn.... my coffee :((( #rookie rambles

One thing I really need to see is this show giving Lucy back her agency. Tim obviously took that away from her in the days leading up to the breakup and then, of course, in the way he ended things as well.

But we also had Primm pulling the strings on her career.

And going back even further we had Tim influence her decision that a relationship would be worth the risk. Tim also decided she was going to date Chris and then ultimately influenced her decision to break up with him (she even used his words instead of her own 🤦🏽‍♀️, but even as a joke that was problematic).

Others have also pointed out how things ended with Nolan and Emmett.

One thing I have actually loved about this season is Lucy vocally standing up for herself, and I need to see it continue. I’d love to see her have the opportunity to take the reins on her career and her personal life (including whether she decides to forgive Tim, reunite with him, or even see someone else). It needs to be her making those decisions for herself.

It is criminally insane that they let a literal child do this😭

#my god what teenage max was doing was insane #also I feel like his rookie season is so under appreciated #like he has to be the best rookie to come in and Oscar is giving those vibes #what Max did at 17 in a TR was crazy to think about #the over takes #the positions #dealing with media and older drivers #honestly he’s MY 🐐 #max verstappen #rambles #f1 #formula 1 #red bull racing

I believe that Tim wronged Lucy and took away her agency. Love is a verb and we act this verb out through our actions and decisions. What Tim did to her was not love. It was out of a selfish need to protect her because he thinks he knows what's best for her better than she does. He doesn't.

Chenford has a long and difficult, uphill road ahead if they want to be together again. Tim is gonna need to come to terms with a lot of things, starting with how he treated Lucy. And he's gonna need to be willing and determined to change for her and for him if any healing were to happen. It's gonna be rough for him because he's gonna need to unlearn a lot. He'll need to treat her better. And the writers will need to do Lucy better because this whole "using WOC as plot devices for their male counterpart" trope needs a retool.

Nobody - actors included - knows if they'll get back together in canon. I'm hopeful they will but I'm also not going to get my hopes up.

And for the record, (I've had a few drinks with friends this evening, so I'm on a roll😅)

ADULTS ARE ALLOWED TO FUCKING ENJOY THINGS.

We're allowed to be in fandom, we're allowed to enjoy pop culture, we're allowed to write and consume fanfiction, we allowed to discuss our favorite things, we're allowed to be on Tumblr, we're allowed to live for God's sake.

Life does not end at 30, and I am so tired of the notion that it does. My 30s have by far been my favorite decade thus far.

Busted

“So, are you single?” The woman looks coyly over her shoulder, biting her bottom lip as she looks him up and down.

He does his best to ignore the question, they had met less than 20 minutes ago and she had already called him handsome and sexy and told him she liked his eyes. It wasn’t to say he didn’t like strong, assertive women, he absolutely did, but this time he wasn’t interested.

“Come on darling, we’ve got some time to kill and I could make this interesting” she tried to turn to face him but stopped quickly. Somewhere to the side of the room they could hear giggling, someone was enjoying themselves. “Are you free to have some fun?”

“I have a girlfriend” he conceded, mostly in an effort to get her to leave him alone “I don’t think she’d be too happy with that”

“A girlfriend? So not a wife then. I can work with that” a smug smile creeps over her lips.

“Not yet” he replies cooly. A spluttering noise comes from the same corner that was giggling moments before. He grins.

“Sergeant Bradford” a voice comes from the doorway to the rear of the room “thank you for you patience, we really weren’t expecting so many. Officer Chen, officer Thorsen.” The man leading the joint task force greeted everyone left in the room “transport for those in custody has arrived and we can finally take them in for booking” intel had told them to expect 15 individuals in the building but when they had breached they discovered nearly 30. Bradford, Chen and Thorsen had been left to baby sit for 20 minutes whilst other officers secured the scene, collected evidence and took pictures.

“Your girlfriend wouldn’t approve, huh?” Lucy swivelled in the seat as Tim drove her, Aaron and himself back to the station in the shop. Aaron was sitting in the back, having missed his ride, pretending he couldn’t hear the couple up fronts conversation.

“Well you wouldn’t!” He raised an eyebrow but continued looking at the road.

“But that was the only reason?” She was enjoying teasing him. She always enjoyed teasing him and he did like to make her happy

“Oh totally” he deadpanned “otherwise women I’m arresting come top of my list of ideal partners” Lucy swatted at his shoulder, more gently than normal but then he was driving.

They carried on in this way as they finished the journey. Aaron was relieved to be let out. Being in a confined space, unable to escape that much flirty banter was cloying. He felt very, very single.

“Timothy”

Tim had not long arrived into the station the next morning. Had barely had chance to grab a coffee and sit at his desk in his tiny, cramped office when the door swung open.

“Timothy” the owner of the voice had fixed him with its most knowing and questioning gaze.

“Angela” Tim sighed, he had no idea what was coming but he knew it was best just to let her get it out her system.

“Are you asking Lucy to marry you?” Angela’s face was expressionless. She clearly needed facts and fast.

“Wh.. I…” Tim spluttered. He was really not expecting this “what? No. Why?” He managed.

“Grey and I were going over some of the body cam footage from yesterday.” She began

“Ahhh” the Penny dropping

“And we heard you telling that women you weren’t married… Yet!” Her voice rising higher and higher. She walked up to his desk, placing both palms flat down and suddenly Tim understood what it most be like to be questioned by Detective Lopez. “Do you plan on asking Lucy to marry you?”

“Of course I do” he answers simply, feeling much more composed now he understands her line of questioning. He smiles at the shocked look on his best friends face.

“When?” She leans in closer, excitement etched on ever inch of her face “soon?”

“It depends what you mean by soon?” He might be happy to share but he wasn’t going to make it easy.

“Timothy!” Her tone would be threatening if she wasn’t bouncing on the balls of her feet in excitement. Angela Lopez loves love and she had been team Chenford long before Lucy and Tim had wised up to what was going on. “By the end of the year?”

“Definitely” he smiled as she bounced faster

“By the end of summer?” She was pushing it, it was already mid April that wouldn’t leave much time.

“Probably” he had a few different ideas but he wasn’t ready to give Angela specifics, yet. He knew that time would come sooner rather than later though

“Oh… my… god” Angela perched on the edge of his desk. Seemly to overwhelmed to stand anymore “you two are going to make such a gorgeous bride and groom” then in a rush “oh and then the babies!”

“Ok, ok” Tim says standing, he starts ushering Angela towards the door “that’s quite enough, one step at a time”

“I’m sorry” Angela places a hand on Tim’s shoulder “I’m telling you the post pregnancy hormones really stay with you!” They both chuckle “ I’m really happy for you Tim”

“She hasn’t said yes yet” he says, he’s not really worried though. When he and lucy talk about the future it’s always so matter of fact. When they are married, when they have children. Never if, from the very beginning.

“We all know that isn’t going to be a problem”

I know I’m supposed to be working on my preyxhunter thing but !!! I saw a textpost a while ago talking about how re2 leon is a secret slut and all I can think about is

rookie!leon so desperate for you he stutters endlessly, face a permanent shade of red. every time he looks at you all he can think about is your lips wrapped around him and how pretty you’d look beneath him oh god-what would you let him use you? what would you sound like? would you ask for more?

fuck he’s gotta focus. gotta make sure you get out of here alive. it gets harder when your shirt gets snagged on a shelf when you try to hide from something. the rip conveniently exposing more of your cleavage.

fuck leon wants to rut between them. wants to suffocate on them. wants to pinch and roll and suck on your—you catch him looking. he looks away hastily.

Okay so. I didn't do anything for 100 bc I was busy with holidays. But for 150 I'm thinking of doing writing requests, if that's something people are interested in! Otherwise I'm open to suggestions!! And thank you all :) I'm glad that people like my silly thoughts

#now is one of those times i wish i could draw #cuz i'd so do art requests #but i still can barely do hair and make guides sob emoji #but yeah!!!! if people are interested in writing requests #I'll take prompts and write one-shots!! #Hopefully by the time I hit 150 i'll be caught up with the series so all things can be fair game! #rookie rambles #god i need to use that tag fr

So I know there have been mentions of the Chenford storyline being disconnected or choppy this season, but in a way I feel like it was all a cumulative build to this.

With Tim, I think what happened with Ray pushed him over the edge, but I also think he saw Lucy’s reaction to almost killing someone (vs. his past as not only The Reaper but feeling directly responsible for the loss of his men’s lives).

I wish we saw more acknowledgement of it, but I have to think he also felt a ton of the weight of Lucy not making detective.

I have to think failing that lie detector killed him, because he genuinely wanted to be 100% supportive of Lucy’s dream but just couldn’t be given his past.

Lucy’s had her own cumulative build of hit after hit and we know just how much she put on the line for her relationship. I am still holding my breath hoping they take it somewhere 🤞🏽; I definitely need some acknowledgement of everything she’s been through.

That said, I think I was initially set on this idea of seeing her struggle and spiral and hit some kind of rock bottom, but now I think I’m more open to the idea of her coming through all of this with her head held high, even stronger than before. That said, there’s a difference between showing positive growth through difficult experiences and simply flattening her character to being sunshine, all of the time.

Just random thoughts. Definitely a little more bummed today that I was yesterday, but still open to seeing where this all goes. 🤷🏽‍♀️
