#they were totally lovers

[woundedheartwithin]

Something something Genda means he and Matsugane didn’t listen to their elders, something something they were just friends not lovers, something something this totally isn’t a direct parallel to Yagami and Kaito’s relationship, something something they’re like brothers not everything has to be gay etc etc etc and so on and so forth [insert toxic dudebro homophobic bullshit here]

Tanning with a grumpy Bucky :,)

just a little somethin (it’s nothing good i just was tanning myself and felt the need to live in a little fantasy, brain barf tbh) *insert ryan gosling photo*

warnings: none, just fluff tbh like tooth rotting fluff like so cheesy you might hurl. bucky’s dialogue is in blue! also both reader and bucky being assholes to eachother is just lovey lol.

“This sucks.”

“Bucky you’re the one who wanted to tan remember?”

“Yeah but then I remembered its super hot out…. i’m sweating…. i feel gross…. i should’ve just gotten a fake tan” he says, emphasizing that he’s sweating and bothered.

“cmon beefcake, remember what happened when you did get that fake tan?”

“oh god don’t remind me of the thong sweetheart i’ll get flashbacks.”

“HA I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT I WAS…” you remembered the people around you and corrected yourself by lowering your voice. “you never sent me a photo in it, i would’ve had that framed and mounted.”you giggled and he rolled his eyes. “I CALL YOU NALGON FOR A REASON!” You then noticed the eyes from others around you again.

Bucky always told you not to care but you hated when people judged. Truthfully you could care less about the judgment toward you but when it came to him you became the most protective person ever, and for good reason! He was amazing with you.

“Erm, honey?”

“Yeah Buck?”

“I think you forgot to get my thighs, yknow how bad it is when they’re burnt” he smiles, using that annoying ass charm he has to try and convince you.

“nice try dude but i specifically applied the high spf lotion the first run through, you’re not due for a “”re-rub”” until the clock hits 12:40 and it’s?” you pause and check your phone, “12:38- oh damn it” your hands go to your face.

“yeah you were starting to get all nerd on me that you forgot about the time, you forget my timing is always right baby.”

“don’t even start it old man, you wanna walk down that road i’ll go the full 150 miles!” you shoot back, playfully.

“Oh yeah? and i’ll go the full 6,000 miles!”

“yeah yeah sure whatever grandpa, did you remember to take your vitamins today? oh no… i distinctly remember making you take them AND making you breakfast.”

“are you sassing me, missy?” he lowers his sunglasses and raises a brow.

oh shit. oh fuck. OH SHIT.

you look away from his eyes,

“listen, let’s say hypothetically i was joking right….”

“my ass, you’re gettin thrown in that pool next time!” he jokes.

“NO PLEASE I NEED TO TAN TOO!”

he just chuckles and intertwines your hands together and strokes your hand with his thumb, as if instinct. it’s funny because he also forgot about the re-rub after doing that.

you don’t know why but after he relaxes again with a smile on his face you remember what it took to get here with him and you almost cry. all the one on one time, respect, and understanding with how difficult you could be according to others… he just wasn’t like the rest of em so you knew from the first time you talked to him that you were both fucked, in a good way.

enemies to lovers this friends to lovers that where can I find another pair of homoeroticly obsessed narrative foils who want to kill each other with rocks

Total drama team lock your doors

what do you think these interviews confirm for buddie, does this confirm buddie is coming?

I'll say what I said earlier to some friends:

Right now is Schrodinger's Buddie.

Which in layman's terms means: Right now in the two days before the season airs, two truths exist at once. That being: canon buddie and non-canon buddie. And we won't know the real truth until the show airs.

So, anon, my opinion is that I want and hope this spells good things for future canon romantic buddie. I think all of this is a step in a positive direction. ((I never put too much stock in articles or press or what the actors say, but I digress)) This is the most hope about canon buddie I've had in a while. I think it appears as if ABC and Tim & Co are trying really hard to get and KEEP (being the key word here) a new audience. I know a lot of people like to say that we (fandom) aren't their core audience, that the general public is, but I've seen this argument time and time again in the BTS fandom that disproves this strategy. So I will say it now:

A dedicated, long-lasting, ride-or-die, loyal fandom will ALWAYS be more important than the approval of the general audience.

The general audience will watch the episode once, form their opinion on it, and then go watch something else regardless. They *might* rewatch a couple episodes when a new season airs. They are not the ones out here streaming each episode over and over meticulously during off seasons earning the show and the networks all their money when the show isn't actively airing. They're not the ones supporting every little side-launch, or keeping the name trending, or keeping conversation relevant, the ones willing to buy merch, the ones willing to spread the word, the ones actively converting other people into die-hard fans. The general audience will not be the people in 10, 20, 30 years rewatching all the episodes for the love it, or keeping a dedicated fanbase active and alive and creating works decades later. Fandoms do. And what does this fandom want?

Overwhelmingly, the fandom wants buddie. In my opinion, going through with romantic buddie is the best thing ABC could do to get and keep a brand new audience and secure the forever-loyalty of their returning audience.

The network wants a return on their investment, but the truth of it, is that they won't get that return on investment unless they actually prove to their audience that they're not just investing in giving the show cooler effects, or larger emergencies, or nicer sets, or more expensive production, or flashy advertisement. The real investment needs to be in the characters. In getting these characters where they need to go. The only way to satisfy your audience and to get them to keep coming back for more is to satisfy the character arcs they've set up over the last six years, and create new arcs that will keep audiences invested for years to come (like ABC so obviously wants).

I've also heard the argument that most people only come to the show for the flashy emergencies. And I get it, but at the same time, any show could create fun/crazy/bombastic emergencies. The thrill-seekers will always chase the craziness that can be replicated in any other random show and for them it's easy to drop 911 and move on if they want thrills.

What keeps people so heavily invested in this show, in 911 in particular, is the characters and their relationships with each other. Character will always ALWAYS be the most important thing to any piece of fictional media. Not the plot, not the emergencies, not the setting, not the effects, etc. Characters are how we as humans create connection. If they lose that connection, that will reflect in viewership, numbers, money, etc.

In my humble opinion, and the opinion of a lot of people who watch this show (even the silent general audience or people who don't ship buddie romantically, or the people who like buddie but think it will never happen so they just shit on it) the person who Eddie and Buck belong with (in whatever way you define it) is with each other.

This isn't something the fandom came up with, this isn't built on the back of fanon. All of this stems 100% from the show itself, so why wouldn't they want to execute to the fullest the story they've so clearly been telling the whole time?

This is just a long-winded way of saying, I, a humble tumblr user with zero connection to the show or its decision makers, don't know if this means buddie canon or not. But I will always remain hopeful until the show airs its last episode, because buddie makes sense on literally every level.

Sometimes I think that the Nameless Bard had to die for the good of mondstadt. His friend became god. His friend who took his image and build Mondstadt from his dreams became god.

Just. Imagining living in a Mondstadt where not only was it built in from the dreams of a young boy who overthrew god, but said god plays favourites. The young boy is the god's favouritest human ever. You see them making music together, always together, they value and love and worship each other endlessly, and knowing your god will never love you as much as he loves this one human. The god will never love his nation as much as he loves this one human. The whole land is a gift to this one human. Your whole life — the way you live your life, your house your gardens, the market you go to in the morning, the hills you see out the window — is all a gift from your god to this one human. Is your god really your god?

So the nameless bard dies and this secret dies with him: the fact the nation was built for his dreams, by Barbatos the god who had little vision himself. Instead now the nation is built by the God of Freedom for his beloved people, and you one of his beloved people he built the nation for.

❥ Chapter 1: You Need to Calm Down

[escaping-thoughts-reviews]

“I came to this house to hunt magical artifacts. I became your bodyguard, your righthand woman, your friend, and even more...”

From this line and those two flashback images, we now know that Emilie and Gabriel weren’t together when Nathalie started to work for Gabriel, that Nathalie was already living in the Agreste house to help him in his research, and that Emilie possibly joined them later in their travels. 

It makes me think that maybe Gabriel and Nathalie actually had something going on back then. Nothing “official”, to avoid any possible scandals for Gabriel that could ruin his image, because “officially” Nathalie was Gabriel’s assistant and bodyguard, and their relationship could have reflected badly on the brand, but still some kind of romantic involvement. And when Emilie (presumably unaware of it), started to show an interest in Gabriel and he in her, Nathalie simply accepted it and stepped aside, putting their happiness above her own (keeping in line with her characterisation so far).

Or maybe they became “more than friends” after Emilie went into the coma... but I can’t see either Nathalie nor Gabriel starting something of that level when Emilie is still in the picture.

Or maybe Nathalie fell in love with Gabriel, but she said nothing and then realised he had fallen in love with Emilie and were never involved with each other romantically. But that wouldn’t explain the “and even more...” line. The line implies he was directly involved and reciprocated those feelings. Along with the line from the game (that has been confirmed to be canonical): “As a token of my gratitude and my… affection”. These two have history together and it happened before Emilie and Gabriel got together.

One thing’s for sure. We need a prequel.

Okay but you know how 1899 could really pull the rug out from under us in relation to Eyk and Maura?

They’re very much NOT together or friendly on the 2099 Prometheus. They are coworkers, perhaps grudging ones and in fact famously dislike each other. The by the book old school Captain and the out there neuroscientist who chafes under authority. It’s what everyone would have expected them to be in actual 1899, dislike and mistrust and frustration. 

But in the simulation? Without the barriers between them of complicated history and their mission and respective romantic pasts and presents, unattached? 

They really fucking click. Dream team. Amazing. Just perfect in sync trust you right away forever, hold my hand. And then reconciling that is hard in the future. 

So we get futuristic version of that shot of everyone going ????? at them hugging, for entirely new reasons. In the past it was what’s up with that? In the future it’s whentf did that happen?
