#the new hotness

[reasonandfaithinharmony]

i don't know if you have this one, but I saw you had other deleted scenes, so I thought it might be worth asking. for the unedited gif game, do you have that missing "i love you" from 4x01? (i think it's meant to be part of the scene at the firehouse where carlos tells tk about iris.) thank you!

Thank you so much for the ask, anon!

Yes, I do have that missing "I love you." It's from a season 4 promo, and it's very short, so I've slowed this down quite a bit. (It's possible there's better footage of this somewhere, but I have not found it.)

Me Most of the Time: To you he’s a fictional character. To me he’s real and I love him. 

Me Now: Well Carlos is a fictional character and can’t make his own choices so this is Tim’s fault and since it’s not real I’m allowed to pretend it never happened.

how did we (i) get here?

Rating: Mature Warnings/ Tags: Angst, Internalized Homophobia, 4 x 01 spoilers, Carlos Reyes, Iris Blake, TK Strand, Character Study, Carlos Begins, of sorts, mild sexual content, feelings, lots and lots of feelings

Summary: A look at Carlos, from when he was younger to present.

Or, in which I meant to write a Carlos POV Coda and wrote a Carlos begins and so much more.

Authors Note: I sat down to write a Carlos POV to go with the TK one I posted yesterday (where do we go from here) and the story took a turn. Instead, I explore Carlos as a person with this new information and explored his life is leading up. I made discoveries about myself, about Carlos, and reshaped how I feel about this secret along the way. I enjoy where this ended up, and I hope you do too. Thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Thank you to L for beta'ing for me. :)

--

Carlos Reyes never claimed to be a perfect man.

He knew that some people saw him as such. He’s always been able to put out the vibe that he has his life together, that he’s not falling apart and as broken as everyone else is.

He’s always been good at pretending.

It’s just something he’s always had to do.

Growing up, Carlos tries to be the perfect son. He never wants to disappoint his parents but something always seems to be wrong with who he is, pieces of him that they don’t seem to like. 

When he was 10, his dad commented that he is “too soft” as a boy because he choices schoolwork over playing football. 

Carlos internalizes that and the next school year tries out for all the sports, hoping it will make his dad proud, but all his dad can focus on were the things that he wasn’t getting right.

So Carlos works harder and throws his all into the game.

He just wants to make his parents proud.

will you still be writing tarlos after last night?

Y'all need to stop drawing me back here but I really wanted to answer this.

A showrunner once killed my favourite character on a show I loved for more than 15 years. If I can get over that, I can get over this.

That being said, I looked at all my WIPs last night - put them to the side, opened a new doc and wrote 2.5k of a new AU. I've still not really processed how I feel about everything yet, but this sure as hell is going to be my therapy.

Oh, and I made a new Spotify playlist with a title spiting Tim Minear. Lazy writing is not it for me.

Long live fic ✍️

“You sure you don’t want anything else to eat?” TK looks down at the bottle of water in Carlos’ hand. Carlos is sitting across from him, they’re in the sleeping quarters away of the firehouse away from everyone.

Carlos hasn’t stopped thinking about it; he’s barely thinking about anything else right now. It’s at the forefront of his mind, begging to be let out. “Yeah, I’m fine, I already ate.” He doesn’t realize his slip up until he sees TK set his bag of chips down.

“So you weren’t here for lunch.” TK’s using the voice he uses when he’s not mad, just confused.

Or

The one where Carlos' secret isn't that secret but TK's still there for him at the end of the day.

All through tonight’s 911 Lone Star, I was like, hmm the actor playing Trevor looks very familiar to me. Who is that?

I just looked it up.

It’s fuckin’ D.B. Woodside. 

NO WONDER!!!!! It’s Amenadiel from Lucifer! He’s been in something I’ve seen.

Also: I love that Tommy is like, kinda bothered that she made a pass at her new pastor, but Tommy, you clearly go to a chill church. He’s divorced, has a kid, and he’s a pastor. It’s fine.

how about in the bunk room in 4x01 when TK squishes Carlos’ face for the gif game?

Thank you so much for the ask, @strandnreyes!

Always happy to revisit this moment. Just look at that face. 🥺

Summary: Carlos has a secret he needs to tell TK, and it's killing him to get it out.

A continuation of where do we go from here in Carlo's POV and the Sequel to how did we (i) get here? Carlos POV coda to 4 x 01

Authors Note: Noxy is to blame, she gave me the nudge to fall over the edge I was tittering on and write this one as well. Did I need to write 3 fic's for this single episode? No. Were they everything I wanted and more? I think so. I needed to write these, for myself and the complicated feelings that I was having. The secret broke me quite harshly and I spent Tuesday night spiraling and trying to accept that the crack theory everyone was tossing around was the real secret. It was hurtful and, in a way, I felt personally hurt. I've attached myself to Carlos - I've done it in numerous fandoms when I've found a character that I just connect with and in Lone Star, Carlos is that character. I love Tarlos - both TK and Carlos are my favorite characters and often it's hard to choose between them when I have to, but Carlos is one that I've felt so strongly about. I felt - and still feel - validated as a queer person in Carlos' storyline. Coming out but not having it be "bad". Being out but having a family who was accepting but also not (I can't tell you how many times my siblings have told me I'm going to hell), trying hard to fit in and be the person people want me to be... a lot of it just clicks with me and makes me feel seen. Through writing these three fics, I've been able to sort through those feelings and understand more, though I still don't agree with him waiting so long to tell TK. I'm rambling now, if you read all of this have a cookie or some other treat. Needless to say, the more I write about this moment, the more it makes sense and the more that I make peace with it. I hope you enjoy this one. Comments are always a pleasure to read.

for @noxsoulmate

where do we go from here (tk's POV) | how did we (i) get here? (carlos begins)

Carlos follows TK up to the barracks, wishing they were home to have this conversation. His body feels weighted as if his shoes are made of lead. Each step is a struggle and he has to focus on breathing in through his nose and out his mouth, counting to ten on repeat in his head. 

They get to the top of the stairs and Carlos feels like he's just finished walking up to his death - because losing TK would feel like dying. 

TK turns and looks at him expectedly, slight anxiety in his eyes and Carlos hates that he’s the source of it.

“What’s up, baby?” TK asks, and Carlos can hear the worry in his voice. He can hear the anxiety that wraps around each word and Carlos hopes that TK doesn’t run this time.

Carlos licks his lips and opens his mouth to answer but words fail him.

Just like they always do.

He sighs and makes his way over to TK’s bed, perching on the wooden ledge, and looks at TK.

Carlos can’t do this.

He loves TK so much that telling him feels like he’s physically hurting him. It always feels this way, each time he’s gone to say those words. 

He looks down at his hands, clenching them when he sees the slight tremble in them.

Carlos hears TK move closer, and then TK sits down on the bed beside him, sliding a comforting hand on his thigh.

He doesn’t deserve to be comforted.

“Baby? What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

He wishes that TK didn’t sound so worried when everything he thought he knew about Carlos is about to come crashing down.

“I have to tell you something,” Carlos says, finally finding his voice.

“You can tell me anything.”

Carlos is sure that TK’s going to regret those words as soon as he tells him the secret.

“I’m married to a woman,”

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
