#this shiny new toy is just a shiny new toy

Blocking every former and supposedly on the fence Buddie shipper who feels the need to tag Buddie on their posts where they claim to want Buddie to happen so badly or are in a dilemma about it going canon, because they’ve, “Seen the toxicity in the fandom and can’t take it anymore.”

Bullshit. They’re making up excuses to jump ship, when it’s really not necessary.

If you don’t want to ship Buddie, don’t ship them. It’s not against the law. It won’t get you excommunicated from the 911 fandom either, but it will make you look like a fool for acting like: 1) you didn’t know there were toxic fans in the fandom to begin with — as there are in all fandoms, or 2) there aren’t any toxic fans among the BuckTommy fandom.

You can’t claim to be tired of toxic Buddies for saying BT is bland or lack chemistry or LFJ is ugly or whatever else, when there are BT shippers saying the same exact things about Buddie and RG. Both sides have toxic fans, the only difference is that BT shippers currently have canon on their side, so those of you jumping ship are able to feel more validated in leaving.

Fans wanted Buck to be queer for nearly as long as the show has been out, and not once has anyone really shipped him with other people. Josh here and there, Connor occasionally, and that one prophet who wrote about him and Tommy. But majorly, it’s been Eddie. As such, toxic fans have been toxic when it came to any and every relationship either of them were in, so what makes Tommy any different? Did y’all really expect all the toxic fans to be happy with yet another love interest they weren’t looking forward to?

Not only that, but again, there are also toxic BT shippers, and fun fact! They didn’t pop up out of nowhere nor were they born out of defense of Buck and Tommy’s extremely new coupling.

I promise you, those same people were die hard Buddie shippers waiting with bated breath for Buck or Eddie to kiss each other or a man in general. They got it with Buck, so now they feel the need to belittle everything that came before in hopes that Tommy won’t be written out. They don’t care about character development or chemistry or Buck as an actual character either, proven by the many many posts across Tumblr, Twitter, and Tik Tok framing them as in love and smitten.

Claiming Eddie doesn’t mean anything to Buck. Claiming Tommy was a knight in shining armor. Claiming (and this is truly the fault of lazy writing and Tim and co trying to give themselves an out for under developing BT) Buck not talking about Tommy is a sign of happiness.

BT is sexual attraction first and foremost, and that’s all we know. Which is fine, I’ve said before, s8 will hopefully expand on them and their relationship if that’s the plan, but until then, there’s nothing there. Meaning there is nothing about the ship to defend the way some of their fans are doing, but somehow that’s more acceptable than Buddie fans defending Buddie? Sure.

Point is, if you’re jumping ship, go ahead. You don’t need to explain or more aptly worded, lie about why. Toxic fans exist on both sides. Most of you would just rather deal with the ones on the canon side of things, because it helps you feel better. Less embarrassed or anxious, maybe? I don’t know, because regardless of if Buddie ever goes canon, they’re not real, and there is no reason to feel anything if it turns out their shippers were wrong.

But I have to ask, what’s going to happen if BT does end? What will be the excuses for all the trash talking and belittlement of years worth of theories? What will y’all say to rectify putting one toxic group on a pedestal over the other? Because that’s what’s happening. BT shippers are being given full clearance to act like shit to people simply because their ship is canon, so what happens if that changes? What happens if Buddie does go canon? Where will all the high and mighty attitudes go?

White People on tumblr who dont listen to rap, ignoring all the racial and historical context of why Kendrick is going against drake to just make it a fun trendy meme/ Kendrick being a hater is the same exact reason Kendrick called drake a colonizer

Edit: I actually Do Not Want resources on this post! I made this post to complain about a specific type of white person cluttering up my notifications saying that they didn't know what was going on and that they didn't care about rap and now those same white people are cluttering my notes again! Like I don't want to give white people who read my initial post the space to say it doesn't apply to them cus they watched a couple of videos. It still absolutely applies. You can have all the historical context in the world but you are still a colonizer and outsider in this space. I don't want you adding videos or anything explaining the beef because this post is not about that. There are literally hundreds of other posts explaining why this is happening and you don't need to come onto a black person's blog to ask them to do so.

HOW do people manage to have multiple interests all at once instead of hyperfocusing on one thing until they've sucked it dry like a ripe orange

bulma i think is a shit parent in the casually neglectful/sees her kid as her bestie sense and also is a billionnaire who just gives her son whatever to make up for the time she spent six consecutive days in the lab and forgot trunks' birthday so he had to spend it alone because no way in hell would vegeta remember it. she's funny and cheerful towards him and also thinks that because he's half saiyan and because she met his older self he'll be perfectly fine no matter what. she lets vegeta train him and hurt him because that's what saiyans enjoy doing right, so clearly it's fine. trunks learns to bury his most negative feelings in order to please his dad and because his mom is too busy/superficial to dig much deeper in the roots of his issues. as long as he doesnt complain surely hes fine. his other self grew up during the apocalypse and he turned out pretty well after all! hey kiddo wanna see a nuclear blast from real up close im sure you'll be fine

I actually need to know how billy and Vicky(ie? Whichever one she is) happened because he seems SO disinterested in her that I have to believe she was the one who pursued him to ask for a ride home and billy just…said yes? Because he’s got fuck else to do? To give himself a heterosexual alibi?

I have so many questions

Just a quick update; I apologize for being rather silent the past few days. I had some serious things come up IRL regarding a close relative's health (thankfully they're in recovery at the hospital and are doing well!) aaaaaand I got sucked into the BG3 craze So I'm not dead, I'm just busy killing eldritch abominations and seducing tieflings and vampires.

I'll be back into the swing of things soon!

While I was working on my therapy comics, I remembered that as a teenager I kept expecting to unlock some repressed memories of molestation from how men, specifically I as a child and them as an adult made me feel. It was this distinct instance around seven or so when I came home to my dad talking to one of his friends who stopped by, they were sitting in the back of the garage while I was at the threshold of it and terrified when they beckoned me over. I was acutely aware even then that grown women did not make me feel this way and even though this friend was a kind guy regularly in my life, being around him was still distressing. And like, the fact that child me knew men scared me and in denial that I was severely mentally unwell teenage me could identify it was uncanny makes adult me all queasy. It’s where I hate to admit that a small part of me knows I am ‘functionally a lesbian’ or something of the like because of this guttural feeling that I struggle to process properly. The weirdest part is I know I am also attracted to cis men albeit usually much more rarely (emotionally attracted but rarely aesthetically??) but often it seems like it comes from not it being off the bat mutual. Like there is safety and ownership to me when I’m the one who defines the attraction. But I’m still troubled to not fully understand the source of it all. With time it made sense, the weird blooming in later adolescence brought on a whole bunch of unwanted attention and for a long while any form of romantic interest has been a frustrating ‘but why? What can you tell me you like about me that isn’t related to me physically?’ That goes unanswered properly. Objectified feels like my wholesale experience with the human race at points. But on the side of the shes and theys, it feels like they at least take somewhat more time to soak in the whole picture. Haha, admittedly now I’m just struggling to think of what it’s like to be treated beyond a commodity for others.

It irks me when I see AI covers and the people who made them say that it is fine, because they will take it down if the people "used" in them complain (which is admittedly more than most get and this shouldn't be the case). I suppose it's fine to violate people's rights as long as you stop when they ask, assuming they notice. Imagine if we used that logic in person...
