mmm thinking about how christopher came out of the tsunami virtually unscathed - i dont think you see a single scratch on him, vs buck, who’s so clearly taken the brunt of everything when he’s been with christopher and is just covered in wounds, even if most of them are shallow. how buck would sacrifice himself any day to save chris (or anyone he loves, really)
no seriously 😭 he was on blood thinners and his arm was bleeding and he just carried on, because he had to find christopher
i love watching him play
Inej: I’m so sick of your stupid dick-measuring competition with Rollins, you’re putting us in danger and I’m OUT
Kaz: he killed my brother
Inej: where this bitch at I’m gonna use him as a pincushion
carlisle/charlie pre-canon/during twilight
charlie is one of those people who doesn’t really think about sexuality that much. he looks at women, he looks at men, and just doesn’t think about it too much. bella tells him the term is “bisexual”, and he shrugs and forgets about it immediately.
when the cullens move to forks, charlie is bowled over. they’re all incredibly beautiful, but nobody really holds a candle to carlisle, the father, who's nice to charlie, always asks about him, always listens to him gripe about stupid teenagers doing stupid things when he has to drop one off at the ER.
he even patches charlie up one time after a tiny scuffle with someone, even though it was completely unnecessary. (“it’s not that bad, doc-“ “i don’t care how bad it is. you’re injured, and i’m going to take care of you.” and carlisle says it with this solid certainty, without a trace of embarrassment. he means it. so charlie shuts up. ‘cause see, he hasn’t had anybody take care of him in a long time, maybe since he moved out of his parents' place. he was always taking care of renee, which he was fine with- but this is different, this makes his chest go tight and his cheeks warm.)
and then bella moves to forks, and edward cullen, one of carlisle’s sons, is an immediate problem. charlie does not go to carlisle about it, though, because who wants to listen to some guy complaining about your kid?
but charlie thinks there’s something more going on with edward, so he goes to billy about it. billy absolutely refuses to talk about the cullens, however, so charlie resorts to getting him trashed and getting it out of him that way.
the cullens are vampires. every single one of them, carlisle included. it takes charlie a little bit to come to terms with this, and even longer to convince himself not to hit edward with his car for endangering his daughter. but at least bella already knows.
so charlie goes to- guess who? carlisle. charlie tells him, says i know what you are, and stands there, waiting for some kind of response. carlisle is just mystified by both charlie and bella's fearlessness, though. they know what vampires are capable of, and yet they choose to be around the cullens anyway. they keep their secrets.
"i'll get your daughter back," carlisle says at one in the morning as he and his sons chase down james. he calls every night, explaining everything, always practically begging for charlie's forgiveness, "i promise, charlie. i will do everything i can."
"i know," charlie says, and finds that he absolutely means it. and when bella comes back alive, when carlisle apologizes again for what's happened- "stop, carlisle, just stop," he whispers, catching the doctor's wrists so he stops fidgeting with his fingers, "i forgive you. you saved my daughter's life, of course i forgive you."
Gerard, teaching Mikey how to drive: Okay, so you’re driving, and Frank walks into the road. Quick, what do you hit?
Mikey: Frank.
Gerard:
Gerard: The brakes. Mikey. You hit, the brakes.
Frank, from the backseat: I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to that idea.
Ray, besides him: Don't.

9 and willex ? :)
I know I sent you a message earlier apologising for this taking so long because of writer’s block, but it clicked just now, so here it comes.
9. “Is that my hoodie?”
Alex is hanging around the garage, trying to perfect the drum part for Luke and Julie’s most recent creation when Willie finds him.
“You can be heard all the way down the street.” Willie tells him and for a second Alex feels bad, because he knows Julie’s worried about people discovering that they’re not actually holograms, but then again, he really needed to wail on his drums for a bit today.
“Yeah, I don’t know.” He replies. “Felt like making some noise today.”
“Any particular reason?” Willie asks, dropping down on the couch. Sometimes Alex is still surprised that it’s still here in this garage after 25 years. Sometimes he is surprised that no one ever removed the piece of furniture. Sometimes he is surprised how much time has passed. After all it feels like he only died yesterday.
“I don’t know. Just- it’s loud up here today.” He taps one of his drumsticks against his temple.
Willie smiles a little sadly before patting the cushions next to him. “Come, I need a cuddle buddy.” And Alex is aware that the main reason for Willie’s words is probably not the other boy actually needing a cuddle and much more him realizing Alex could use a hug, but he still gets up and wanders over.
He sinks down next to Willie and it’s only when his head hits WIllie’s shoulder that he notices what the other boy is wearing. The pale pink color of the hoodie the other boy is wearing is awfully familiar.
“Is that my hoodie?”
Willie grins as he wraps his arms around Alex. “You left it at my place a couple nights ago and it’s so warm and soft.”
Alex can feel the blush creeping up on his cheeks. Sometimes he hates being as pale as he is. Both Willie and Julie can usually hide their blushing with their darker skin colors, Alex tends to resemble a fire truck real quickly. There is something really nice about Willie wearing his clothes.
“You can keep it.” He mumbles. “But that means I get something of yours, okay?”
The blinding grin Willie sends his way at those words, makes something warm settle in Alex’s stomach. “Of course.”
Ok but are u soulmates or are u alex turner and miles kane tho
