The Rookie and timelines is the most hilarious mismatch ever. What do you mean 5 years? Lucy‘s running around with 2019 on her ribs from her rookie year and you’re telling me that was 5 years ago but all your evidence is being logged for 2026???

Chenford‘s “Girlfriend Lucy?“ gave me flashbacks to Hollanov’s ”Boyfriend?“ ”Yes, I think, probably.“ When you can link two different fandoms it’s always a good day.

She's beauty; she's grace; she has a smile on her face and she'll eff up your day, don't cross her.

Am I the only one connecting the dots between Tim trying to rise in the ranks, and his squad mates died in an airstrike, and now Tim's getting a promotion and the station explodes? I mean, it might not go down like that, but... it would be interesting if it did. 👀

They broke up in the dark and got back together in the light. I love that for them. Also relates to Tim being in a darker place and now feeling a lot lighter. Man, this is so good. #chenford

Chenford fam, how’re we doing?

I love how every season The Rookie is like "cast discuss returning villains" Yes, all the villains return. They're like the Batman villains, they just never go away (unless they die). Jail cannot contain them; even if they escape, they come back like boomerangs because they love Nolan I guess.

Imagine if the reason Nolan had to go to Prague was because everyone else is involved in Operation Chenford TM (coined by Angela), including Tim and Lucy, except they don't know they're involved, and Angela just goes to Grey with a list of everyone who cannot go to Prague because of "reasons".

Thank god for Melissa getting to the heart of the matter. NUMBER 1 Lucy Chen is a sergeant! That's it. That's everything. That's all that matters. Monica? Oscar? Blips on the radar. LUCY HAS STRIPES! Thus endeth the Lucy Lesson.

When my non-hockey mutuals are telling me to watch the hockey show, then I guess I must watch the hockey show. And then subject them to all my weird hockey knowledge that they now have context for.

I enjoyed the Chenford Legos so much that I ended up getting the Home Alone Lego set and spent most of Christmas building it. It was a lot of fun to build, and I loved all the little nods to moments in the film.

Grey needs to start recording answers for questions from his TOs, it’ll save him time.
Q: If my wife/girlfriend gets a job offer in another city, what does that mean for my transfer?
A: You‘ll have to start from the ground up.

I‘m excited for Chenford. Like that clip can go many ways. Maybe if Tim sticks to his guns, she’ll realise he’s serious about this but she needs to be able to air her hurt and he has to be able to air his fears. Honesty and communication needs to be built back up again and more so trust.

I just found out who Nathan is in The Mighty Nein, and oh my god. Holy shit. This is gonna be interesting. (I love this actually)

Looking for fanfic recs is really hard, because most people suggest the same fics over and over. I get it, they're very well written, hugely popular stories... but I've already read them. I want to find something I haven't read. The hidden gems.

I need FF7 to remember that Aerith can heal and there's healing materia in the game, so maybe when someone in a cutscene is injured or near death's door, Aerith, or anyone, could try healing them as a reaction instead of doing nothing but clutching their hands. It really breaks the immersion.

Ugh, I read so much present-tense fanfic that sometimes, while writing, I'll slip into "She sees this" and it's like, nope, nope, she's in the past, she saw that. It's so easy to do, and every time it's so jarring to have to go back and fix it.

Why did I insist on putting Caleb into my cute little hockey fic? I don’t like writing Caleb. He gives me the creeps. He’s not even supposed to be creepy, but we all know Caleb is creepy so why hide it and pretend he’s not? Why not go all in on the eerie vibes and let Lucy sense the danger?

I got my Chenford Lego’s and they’re so cute! They genuinely make me smile every time I see them (not so much building them because what do you mean the Tim’s face is upside down?!). Thank you @isca-rambles.bsky.social for helping me source them! 🧡

Just watched the first Mighty Nein episode on Youtube and holy crap, it's going to be so good. Also so curious about who Nathan Fillion will be playing in this. I could google, but I'd rather watch the episode and shout John Nolan?! at my TV when the episode airs.
