Able-bodied And/or Nondisabled People Who Still Wish Shannon Could Have Grown From Her Mistakes And Been

Did anyone else notice the ‘listening’ motif in this movie?!

Like miles is constantly asking his parents to listen, so is Gwen with her dad.

It’s like neither of them feel heard or listened to.

I’m not entirely sure how it plays into the movies larger message of writing your own story and growing up, and one’s relationship with their parents. But it defo connects.

Mind swimming with thoughts

What if...

What if, instead of a "you guys have an adorable son" 2.0, we have the opposite of it?

What if someone comes up to Eddie to tell him that "Chris uncle is so good with him!" or that "Chris could never find a better godfather!", or some heteronormative shit like that?

What if Eddie blanches, freezes, because that should be what Buck is, right? An uncle, a godfather, a friend of the family?

But, then, why does all that sounds so little in face of who Buck really is?

Buck is his best friend, the best he's ever had. He's also Chris' best friend, and while he is slightly envious of the title, it's not bad. He isn't Chris godfather, though, much less his uncle, even though they do look alike, with the curls and all, almost like they're...

Like they're father and son.

Oh.

Oh.

When he put Buck on his will, so long ago (a lifetime, really), he was... Listen, both Adriana and Sophia are lovely to Chris. They never treat him like he's breakable, incapable of doing things on his own, they never prive him from his agency. When he still lived in El Paso, he was overjoyed whenever they stopped by to look after Chris. They knew his son was amazing and shouldn't be put down for doing his own thing.

Adriana had a degree in pedagogy and Sophia was a physiotherapist. If the worst came to happen, they'd look after Christopher, and they'd do it well.

But...

But.

Whenever he thought about Buck's place in his life, he never put him in a "friend" category. Not since he stepped up and helped Eddie get back to his son after the earthquake, or when he saw Eddie struggling and introduced him to Carla, or when saved him from a tsunami.

After that first year, with its highs and lows, Buck became family. He slotted into their dynamic incredibly well, helped juggle the duties when Eddie was getting overwhelmed, learned to take cues for when to take a little more than usual. They learned how to communicate from a single look, and, yes, for their incredibly dangerous job but also for things like "did he put sunscreen on?" or "just five more minutes of videogames and he needs to do his schoolwork" or "this movie is not appropriate for his age".

Buck looked at their little family and asked "is there anyone taking that spouse spot?" and didn't wait for an answer.

And, fuck, Eddie wasn't mad that he hadn't waited for it. Before now, before therapy, he didn't know if he'd accept it.

But right now? When he has his head coming into a good place, a place where he could see that he deserved help, he deserved good things, he deserved to be loved?

By all the gods and saints, Eddie was ready to accept everything Buck had to offer and strive to return it tenfold.

Buck was theirs, his and Chris', just as much as their were Buck's. He only needed to know how to say it out loud.

Thinking about Will insisting to El they'd "fix it together" in the first episode of the season

And how rolling 11 wasn't enough to save everyone in the Curse of Vecna DnD campaign

And how Brenner continually insists El isn't ready

And how we still don't fully understand how or why Will survived the Upside Down in S1

And how Will's psionic connection to the Upside Down has been emphasized over and over as both a saving grace and a weapon

And how I am personally owed a Willel team-up just because so give it to me Duffle bags

I DON’T UNDERSTAND US SOMETIMES ???

My favourite way of buck coming out to the firefam is someone bringing in LGBTQ+ badges in and buck just goes "sick!" And picks up a bi flag and walks away while everyone else just is shocked in a range of huh? To WHAT!

IT IS ACE WEEK!

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #12 - “Superman’s Day Off” (2020)

written by Robert Venditti art by Scott Hepburn & Ian Herring

POSTING THIS AGAIN!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!

This is why…

All right, let’s break his down @netflix. I’ve worked it all out and I want to present it to you because I REALLY think it’s worth it. You NEED to turn Percy Jackson into a TV Series.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Five books = FIVE SEASONS

The Lightning Thief = 22 chapters

The Sea of Monsters = 20 chapters

The Titan’s Curse = 20 chapters

The Battle of the Labyrinth = 20 chapters

The Last Olympian = 23 chapters

This makes a total of 105 chapters. Chapters = episodes. 105 EPISODES!!!!

!!!!!THEN!!!!!

If you continue on to the Heroes of Olympus series you get:

The Lost Hero = 56 chapters

The Son of Neptune = 52 chapters

The Mark of Athena = 52 chapters

The House of Hades = 78 chapters

The Blood of Olympus = 58 chapters

This makes a total of 296 chapters. That means AT LEAST another 296 EPISODES!!!!

If each chapter feasibly fits into only one episode that makes a grand total of 401 EPISODES!!!!!

This does not take into account the Trials of Apollo. Plus the 14 short stories that, more than likely, take place between the books.

For the love of the Gods, I beg you, please make this a reality!
