I Wrote a Letter to My Ex and This Happened..

Featured Snippet:Writing a letter to your ex can bring clarity and emotional release—even if you never send it. For many, it’s a private ritual that transforms pain into closure. In my case, the act of writing became a turning point in my healing. It started with a blank screen.Not because I had nothing to say—quite the opposite. I had too much. Words that had been stuck in my throat for months.…

tommy calling buck ‘evan’ during their entire relationship and the first, and only time, he calls him buck is after he breaks up with him. eddie calling buck ‘evan’ only once and it was when he gave buck his goddamn son. the only time tommy called him buck was before leaving and the only time eddie called him evan was when he gave buck proof of him and chris staying. of them wanting buck. of them keeping buck. id say “which could meaning nothing!” but it actually means everything.

This is why the bit of undramatized backstory I’m most burningly curious about is probably Flint & Gates. How did they become genuine friends. (And at a time when Flint - who is a ten-time gold medalist in Not Making Friends - was presumably at his most wounded and walled-off and feral, to boot?) What made Hal so loyal to him. How did Flint also lowkey decide that Hal was his pirate dad. Is Hal even remotely aware that he’s been cast in the role of Flint’s pirate dad. Is Flint even self-aware about casting Hal in the role of his pirate dad, or is this all writhing sea serpents living in the here-be-dragons zone of his traumatized subconscious

Buck has spent the past 8 years acting like sex is taboo and wrong for him, specifically because he was Buck 1.0

In season 2, he apologizes to Taylor because he "isn't that guy anymore" after Taylor comes onto him. He has had shitty relationship after shitty relationship because he is looking for an answer in these people that he is simply never going to find in them.

I saw a post sometime ago about how Buck looks to other people to ask for reassurance in his own feelings. "Am I lonely?" "Am I at peace?" "How do you know?"

But he does this in other ways, too. He told Tommy that he feels comfortable in his own skin Because Tommy is comfortable with who Tommy is. That's just another way for Buck to find validation in what he feels.

That's why Tommy broke up with him. You can accuse Tommy of a lot of things, but he is at least self-aware. He hears Buck ask him to move in, not because Buck loves him and wants him around but because he makes Buck "comfortable," and personally, no one deserves to be kept around as a validation device.

That's what makes Tommy say Buck will break his heart. That's why Tommy leaves. It's parallel to Buck asking Taylor to move in with him. Except Tommy is older and listening to what Buck is saying.

Buck told Taylor "I thought I could learn to live with it."

and he told Josh, "I could see a future with him."

And that's where some of you got lost. He doesn't see a future with Tommy, but he thinks he could—hypothetically—because Buck wants a future with someone.

Taylor Kelly and Tommy Kinard have the same blueprint relationship with Buck. Kelly is her middle name. He was engaged to Abby. Things Buck finds out way too late into the relationship because he goes with the flow and doesn't talk to the people he dates.

Which brings me back to #LetBuckFuck. Now, sex is morally neutral. Having sex with 100 people doesn't make you a degenerate, and only having had sex with one person doesn't make you a saint. Also, neither means you have a healthy relationship with sex.

Bobby made a point to Buck that a bunch of random hook-ups wouldn't fill the whole Buck feels in his chest, and Buck internalized that to mean if he didn't have a hook-up at all, he would eventually find the thing that did fill that hole. Which theoretically could work.

Except Buck missed the part where the reason why hook-ups don't fill the hole isn't that hook-ups are bad. It is that the hole has to be filled from the things within.

The sex had nothing to do with it. Now, it's been 8 years and 5 failed relationships later and Buck is still working under a false presumption.

Some people found Oliver's call for Buck to fuck to mean he wants Buck to regress. But failed to see that Buck is actually still a stupid lil punk putting whatever fits into the square hole.

Let Buck Fuck. Let Buck realize his worth isn't in other people. Let Buck realize he can have sex, and his worth isn't tied to it AT ALL.

Stop being like Buck. Stop letting Buck's relationships define him.

Summary: “Did you hear about this?” Eddie demanded, walking past Karen into the house as soon as she opened the door.

“Hey, Eddie,” Hen greeted from the kitchen. “How are you, Eddie? I’m doing great, thanks for asking.”

Eddie dropped the book on the counter. “Taylor Kelly wrote a book.”

“Okay that’s worth it,” Karen announced.

Catra: I don't really have any hard feelings towards Hordak. Before Prime showed up we were basically breakup buddies.

Glimmer: Breakup buddies?

Catra: Yeah, we did all the usual post-dump activities together. I helped him throw out his ex's stuff, he listened to me as I bitched about mine, and we got back at our exes by taking over their friend's kingdom together.

Glimmer: You do know that neither of you were actually dating anyone before the war ended, right?

Mermista: That's what you took away from what she just said?!

saw someone on tiktok say that they “love that the fandom has come to a general consensus that tommy needs to stay” …

retake the consensus now because idk where you got those results

Once again, I don't go to 911 like that, but I have learned that B*ddie shippers are the demons of the fandom and I now hate their ship because of them, HOLY SHIT.

[evankinkley]

my pet peeve is people talking about a bucktommy breakup like it's a certainty. it's an incredibly odd thing to do imo for a current canon couple.

Since Lucy moved to air support, do you think she gives the 118 the mean gossip about Tommy? Like the gossip you share about a friend's ex partner that you all collectively dislike and enjoying hating on when someone has direct access to what's going on in their life?

Like everything from her being like "Yeah, sounds like he's really sad without him, he really fumbled that bag lol" to "Yeah, he tripped while carrying his lunch and got it all over him, loser" and it spreads between Hen, Chim, and Eddie (and through Bobby to Athena, but I feel like he would try not to engage in it while also being completely up to date on everything) and they all collectively eat it up?.
