Episode 3, Alfred gets drugged and shows up on Henry's door

Henry's POV

Ok so I never post here and I wan to start doing it more often but-

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE HOW THERE WHERE EPISODE EASTER EGGS IN TONIGHT’S EP?!?!

I kept looking at that toy train trying to figure out what it was until Buck picked it up and then- LIGHTNING STRUCK ME (too soon?)- and it’s referencing the TRAIN DERAILMENT EP.

Someone else probably pointed it out by now but I just thought it was cool 🤧

"i could never replace you" "my attention?" "so that was okay?" "i think you're adorable" "i didn't want to pressure you" TOMMY KINARD THE MAN THAT YOU ARE

My sister says there are better ways to get someone's attention-

thinking about my fic in the shower:

trying to actually write my fic:

CHARLES LECLERC, WINNER OF THE 2024 MONACO GRAND PRIX

LFGGGGGGG OMG I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM

SCREW YOU MONACO CURSE HE DID IT GUYS

I know we're all very excited about all of Oliver's interviews, but the next episode isn't about buddie or bucktommy - it's about Maddie and Chim getting married after years of love and pain and loss and hope.

It's about Maddie marrying a man who loves her, who respects her, who trusts her, who doesn't control her, who wants Maddie to just be Maddie.

It's about Chimney marrying a woman who loves him, who values him for exactly who he is, who laughs at his jokes, who overcame hell and came out the other side a little battered and bruised but still alive, who loves him for exactly who is he and has never once asked him to change.

It's about a couple who fought through abusive ex-husbands and near death experiences and PPD and breaking up but still loving each other so much and getting back together because being apart was never going to work for them.

It's about a family that deserves happiness finally getting to celebrate that after years of so much drama.

So again, I know we're all excited about the buddie and bucktommy of it all, but let's not forget what 7x06 is about - Maddie and Chimney getting married.

Add some color to the world, my miracle

Buck looks over and nods his head, starting to stand up when Charlie starts to stir. He gently rocks her, trying to keep her from waking up. She settles back quickly, and he turns around to grab her bunny when he notices the look on Eddie’s face.

Baby fever is something they’ve both been dealing with lately. It’s led to them making out at the firehouse more than once and looking up names when they can’t sleep. The urge to have another kid has been getting stronger and stronger, and they basically have to sprint away from the baby clothes section at the department store. Karen was the first one to notice what was going on.

(Or: Eddie and Buck have baby fever, and Charlie was the one that got the idea into their heads)

First of all, I've absolutely loved the fic, I love how you write them interacting with eachother. Secondly, I'd love to hear more about your lube research because from what I've gathered Vaseline was invented in 1872, but it became a popular lubricant in the mid 1900's and the first comercial lube was invented in 1904.

Thanks for your fic!

I full body CACKLED at this ask 🤣 thank you for liking my fic! It means the world to me that people are liking it!

As for the research…

I am no historian by ANY means, so I just waved my hand around some technical things and made up a rhetoric for myself:

If one person from this couple is a more seasoned veteran on being gay, he’d know more about **things**

Said person is not rich (by the era standards) but he’s probably got good connections in a community that is marginalized and persecuted (meaning, they’ve got each other’s backs and would help out with almost anything, to their abilities)

Probably has had more than 1 partner in the past so it’s trial and error, practice makes perfect, and experience mixed all together

Taking all of this into consideration… while yes, petroleum jelly was **just** invented but hadn’t actually gained a popular status in the market, what were other historically known substances used prior to its invention?

Oils.

And Henry could probably get his hands on some better quality ones (both by his presence as a photographer and how alluring people used to find that profession [ie. payment through services or favors/products for **explicit** photography]). So think, more than the cooking olive oil or oils you’d find in a kitchen, he’d probably have access to things like clove oil or even hemp seed oil. Maybe even GOOD quality ones that come from outside England (importing them would’ve made them wayyy more expensive, but if poppy sold for cheaper than bread, surely some seller would sell nice oils for a more affordable price).

… or they could’ve easily raw-dogged it and used saliva.
