writing a fix-it fic for the "buddie" kitchen scene, and going back to watch it for reference just makes me more flabbergasted at how quick the switch up is to eddie being outright antagonistic

dialogue literally went from "I knew you would be (happy for me)" and immediately into "You make it all about you — the trials and tribulations of Evan Buckley; a tragedy in 97 acts” like wow the disconnect is giving me whiplash

I mean, at least it is a pretty clear cut off point as to where I would start to fix this mess with the fix-it

In my opinion it's a lot more healthy to be able to own that you dislike someone for petty reasons than to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to make everyone you don't really vibe with out to be a bad person actually

“the trials and tribulations of evan buckley; a tragedy in 97 acts”

sorry but this is still the most wild thing to just say to another grieving person, in any possible context

[hisbucky]

it’s been too many years since my man was on the big screen i’ve missed you

[hisbucky]

*9 months later*

Buck: I didn’t do anything dangerous, reckless, or risky the past week. You would’ve been proud about me, huh?

Bobby: …

Buck, sobbing: I wish you were still here to tell me that.

Bobby: I'm so proud of you. Buck: ...What did I do? Bobby: Nothing. You did absolutely nothing dangerous, reckless, or risky this past emergency, and for that, I am so proud of you. Buck: Oh. I don't know how to feel about that. Bobby, sobbing: Come here and give me a hug. Buck, embarrassed: Pops, no! We're still at work!

kinda resigned with a specific part of the fandom because if the questionable buddie scenes we got this season are making yall scream buddie cannon then I hope yall get what you are asking for

like listen, I am a proud advocate for angst in ships, but when the “angst” is a rehash of eddie basically calling buck self-centred, selfish, etc. — not just once, but twice in a single season…

lawsuit era was kinda okay because it was the first time; could be written off as lack of understanding and or miscommunication

but to use that same “argument” against the same person you have spent years of practically being each other’s person?

the fact that eddie’s go-to move for both times he gets into a “fight” with buck this season is an ad hominem attack is such an uncomfortable writing choice, and that’s not even the worst part

the worst part is that buck just rolls over and takes it, as if he’s the guilty party, having him be the one to apologise in both instances

(when the only thing buck should have done is stand the fuck up and leave)

it’s almost like the show is saying that eddie was in the right and only buck was in the wrong, and for what? For being selfish? Self-centred? For grieving in a way that eddie can’t handle?

that may not have been the intention, but it sure does come off that way

if this is any indication of what the dynamics are going to be if buddie becomes cannon, then I’ll stick to the fanfics

you see the problem is they made tommy perfectly blorbo shaped.

oh, this character is traumatised and lonely and longing for a family? In the found family show? unfortunately that’s prime babygirl material right there and I’d now die for him.

I just got the most lovely message in my inbox from a man (well call him Rob) who sent this message into ABC. I screenshotted it to blur the name out because I’m not sure he’d want his full name online for all to see. I’m in tears. I don’t even know what to say… This is why it’s so important to let your voice be heard! Please read below:

reminding myself I like both buddie and bucktommy every single time I have the misfortune of encountering the most insane takes, opinions, and just general toxicity in the fandom.

go outside. touch some grass. get help.

day three mindset is maybe i could engage with canon compliant content too bc god their breakup was really juicy i hate that it's juicy

"Then you have to stop judge him. […] It was scarier, more confusing, and not half as accepting. And so sometimes we did things to protect ourselves, things that we might not be proud of, that in a post Glee world look less than noble, but … you don't judge the people who came before you. The ones who fought battles you didn't have to. — Because they have scars. You honor their scars, and you thank them." Josh Russo (9-1-1)

We've all many reason to hate the episode. But we also need to remember Josh here. And his words. And Bryan's performance. Because I think, for me personally, this might just be the most important monologue of this season, no matter what else we'll see.

I always say how glad I am that I'm a multishipper because I win either way. Turns out I also lose either way.

btw, i am hugging and patting the backs of all the queer men in this fandom that truly felt represented with this ship, that loved it so deeply and found comfort within it. i'm so fucking sorry.
