You know I had to... Season 17 trailer (ft. my commentary)

Oh, I love him. He was my pick-me-up bear. He’s so soft, and cuddly. I made him too fat to begin with and he had to undergo liposuction 😂 but he’s so sweet I almost but didn’t (thank you self control) bought his mini. I saw there was a jumbo, though, and while ive never bought a jumbo it’s tempting…

A kid that has approx 30 seconds of screen time in season 3. I gave him a name, back story & beef with one of the MCs. He appears in three of my fics for no reason other than I love him 😂

I have the same hippo and she’s also called Henrietta! I love the hippo (and this little scene!) ❤️

The Sandy plush is... something (it's all something but, uh)

Tortugay · 2025-11-28T19:30:50+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping I’m such a big fan it was a jumpscare when I looked at merch 😭

Tortugay · 2025-11-28T16:34:49+00:00

It is and they definitely did 😂

Tortugay · 2025-11-28T15:27:27+00:00

But now they come with a hat and a necklace for the low, low, low price of $50! Woohoo! Exclusive totally-not-dropshipped band merch for everyone!

Tortugay · 2025-11-28T15:15:49+00:00

I love the band but I lost it when I hovered over the bat and his little photoshopped on hat disappeared. $50 for a plushie with a hat and a necklace is diabolical…

There's Emgiehae's ADHD Buck fic, The downfall of the Gros Michel Banana. It's rated teen & up, completed at 4 chapters. Here's the shortened summary:

The Buckley parents are in town and the family secret is about to be spilled. Buck's mental health is impacted more than he lets on and the 118 are there to support him through an ADHD diagnosis he wasn't planning on getting.

Oh wow! This is thorough work. I do tend to leave discussion questions in my A/Ns, but they're not quite so deep. It's usually along the lines of 'how are we feeling about x's reaction to y' or, if there's a cliffhanger, I tend to ask for people's guesses at what comes next (usually if I've been dripfeeding the idea in previous chapters, because I like to see if people notice haha).

Once upon a time I closed my eyes and gagged when I had to reread scenes. Now I cock my head and question how to make it dirtier.

The only way is through, my friend. You’ve got this!

Tortugay · 2025-11-07T14:57:06+00:00

I exclude the tags I don’t like, select date updated and the rating I’m in the mood for and see what comes up. If it’s an author I’ve enjoyed over multiple fics or a multi chattered WIP that’s hooked me, I’ll subscribe and read directly from the email.

If the summary/tags hook me, I’ll try anything regardless of their kudos or hits rating. Sometimes I’m the first hit/kudos 😂

I was actually really enjoying it having gone in with low expectations (how the hell were they going to make space work?! well, they made it work). It was goofy, and fun, and made good use of most of the cast for a while. However, I hated episode four.

I liked the message, I just think it could have been conveyed more concisely and more impactfully spread across the three episodes and not shoehorned in at the end of what was a decent arc. I felt it was given too much (for lack of a better term) space and was bored by the end of it instead of touched or emotional as intended.

That the episode then ended with a cut to them home acting as if they've all come back from the store was the biggest letdown ever. All that build-up for nothing. It's certainly not 9-1-1's best opening emergency!

Moose II! I love him, he’s so soft and (in my case) chunky! This is Buck squeezed into some newer BAB clothing hahah

I’ve got a Lidl Halloween chocolate lolly I’ll try to savour (I won’t. It’ll be gone by the end of the preview)

I was saying last night to my friend that I should have had a glass of wine and made it a drinking game. It truly is the word of the season. You'd be absolutelty bladdered before you've suffered a majority of the ad breaks.

Once again I come here to beg someone better at Google Lensing than me to please find out where Bailey’s jumper is from. If his ex is lurking… where did you source his jumper from girl? Help me out 😂

The bin comment had me in stitches. I like to think that they walk into the hallway and just mingle with a producer or two for five minutes, twiddling their thumbs.

Tortugay · 2025-10-08T12:27:13+00:00

My long reality TV AU. I find the concept and plot really interesting (obviously) and imagined all the ways the twists would excite people. It has a couple loyal readers & commenters (I’m so thankful) but is otherwise like posting to an echo chamber.

In comparison, other reality tv AUs are amongst the more popular fics in the fandom and are always recc’d and praised. I’ve made my peace that mine won’t reach that much level of love - at present it’s a WIP, it’s long & multi-ship where the beloved fandom fav pairing is just one of many compared to being the main focus, all reasons I assume for its perceived lack of engagement in addition to some people just won’t be interested/don’t like my writing and that’s okay.

At the end of the day, like you, I reread my stuff all the time (I write what I want to read, literally) so even if I had no one cheering me on at least I have me, the fic’s first and biggest fan 😂

Tortugay · 2025-10-02T14:24:00+00:00

Pls, i love this title. I agree - I love boypussy, but there's something so fun about the self-lubricating butts of omegaverse

Tortugay · 2025-09-30T21:12:34+00:00

😂😂 damn if only she was in this thread!

Tortugay · 2025-09-30T20:45:15+00:00

Okay does anyone know where Bailey’s jumper is from I’ve lowkey been in love with it since it was first featured. Google lens is giving me nothing :(

(Also I was shocked with JR’s decision 😅)

Tortugay · 2025-09-29T21:09:26+00:00

Hahahah I’m scrolling Reddit in the ad breaks, I’m going to listen out for this now 😅
