Guys I Was Booping, As One Naturally Does, When I Discovered You Can Self Boop.

Guys I was booping, as one naturally does, when I discovered you can self boop.

Safe to say things got out of hand really quickly…

Saw a marvel x 911 crossover fic (i didn’t read it) and now I’m just thinking about the blip. Could you imagine Eddie getting dusted but Buck and Chris don’t so Buck has to take care of Chris for 5 years without Eddie. Then Eddie comes back five years later unchanged and has to confront Buck and Chris who have been struggling since he was dusted. The angst potential is so good.

This doesn’t even count for the other characters like Chimney also gets dusted and he misses 5 years with his daughter and Maddie. May and Athena get dusted leaving Bobby to relive his trauma plus Harry also gets more trauma and is just stuck with his three dads (assuming Michael and David are alive and come back). Hen and Karen lose Denny and they have to go through that grief before he comes back.

The angst potential is just too good.

THEY TOOK THE BOOP

A/N: A dialogue drabble for one of the many times when the team must have been questioned by the IA department.

Interviewer: Tell me how this all started.

Deeks, drawing in a breath between his pursed lips: Ooh, that’s an interesting question. Well, I began as a lawyer—you know, wanting to see justice served and all that—but I realized that wasn’t for me, so I applied to the police academy. I didn’t have the easiest time there.

Interviewer: Agent Deeks, perhaps you could just stick to your time here with NCIS.

Deeks: It’s actually Investigator Deeks. Don’t ask me why. Do you want to hear about my first case with NCIS when I was just a detective, my 10 and a half years as a liaison, or my most recent position as an investigator?

Interview, bemused: Whichever you think is most relevant to your work with the agency.

Deeks, pleasantly: Oh, I’d say they’re all relevant. My first case with NCIS really forged my place on the team, though it took some time for everyone to realize my brilliance. As a liaison, I had the pleasure of forging a relationship between NCIS and LAPD for the betterment of both agencies with the intent of reducing miscommunications, errors, and—

Interviewer: Investigator Deeks, are you quoting directly from the handbook?

Deeks: I am a lawyer. It’s kind of our thing.

Interviewer: You’re still a lawyer?

Deeks, shrugging: I like to have options. By the way, page 326 in the handbook has a very critical, and potentially legally disastrous, error which I’d be happy to tell you about if you ask nicely.

Interviewer: I think we’re done here.

Deeks: Happy to be of help. *he starts to walk away* The legal offer still stands if you change your mind!

it's so fucking frustrating to be in college and know everyone uses chatgpt and to be tempted by it constantly while also knowing intellectually that it doesn't work and it's a bad idea. like, i hang out in the library a lot, and i see people using chatgpt on assignments almost every day. and i know it isn't a good way to learn, because it's not really "artificial intelligence" so much as it is an auto text generator. and it gives you wrong information or badly worded sentences all the time. but every week i stare down assignments i don't want to do and i think man. if only i could type this prompt into a text generator and have it done in 10 minutes flat. and i know it wouldn't work. it wouldn't synthesize information from the text the way professors want, it wouldn't know how to answer questions, it just spits out vaguely related words for a couple paragraphs. but knowing my classmates get their work done in 10 minutes flat with it while i fight every ounce of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my body is infuriating.
