people rightly criticize how team 7 reacted to sasuke's pursuit of justice for his clan, but one thing i feel is always overlooked in these discussions is how sakura literally is not granted the option by the narrative to learn about what sasuke has been through — not in the way that naruto, kakashi, or even team taka are. throughout all of part 2, she is operating under the assumption that sasuke killed itachi and then turned on the village for no apparent reason.

in part 1, she offers to help sasuke with his plan to kill itachi and even says she'll come with him so he won't have to handle a clearly dangerous and unstable sannin alone. she tells him she wishes he would be more open with her because she wants to understand what he's going through. (all of this stands in stark contrast to naruto, who says he'll break every bone in sasuke's body to bring him back, or kakashi, who projects his own traumas on to sasuke.) then in part 2, she can't bring herself to hurt him despite ample opportunity and even though (as far as she knows) he's become a violent criminal. throughout the series, she's averse to inflicting harm on others (aside from the punching naruto gag). is it really so unreasonable to imagine that if she knew sasuke was avenging the state-sponsored genocide of his clan, she would respond differently? with more empathy and compassion for his circumstances, and anger of her own towards konoha?

I feel like the characters of Buck and Eddie's specifically are so underdeveloped it borders on crime at this point.

Because Buck has traveled all over the world, he was a so called sex addict, and sought (still seeks) attention from every breathing relatively human form he comes across.

He was a bartender and his communication skills are limited to flirting mode (see 911 LS hold the line) - It's like right there where TK from LS felt the need to tell Buck that he has a boyfriend - and you're telling me he never experimented?? Never been kissed by a drunken man?

He has gay friends, has he never been to a gay club??

And Eddie! The man was in the army, he was never in love with Shannon, he loved her - sure - she was the mother of his child, they had sexual chemistry but there was nothing there emotion wise.

Also often they'd have sex after they were reunited to avoid actually talking to each other.

Eddie went and reenlisted to a job he knew there was a fair chance he may not return home alive from, to avoid actually having to deal with the realization of Christopher's diagnosis and not being able to adjust and not wanting to be a husband to Shannon.

He didn't want to get married, he did that because he knocked her up not because he wanted to get married - his way of running was enlisting. - It was his personal suicide mission. - Like he said in 5X14 - his friends are gone and he's still here - "not sure why." - it wasn't just survivor's guilt, he never planned to live in the first place.

And you're telling me that with all his time spent with soldiers most of them men, not thinking about his wife, just his son - because when he was in a dire situation it wasn't a picture of Shannon and Christopher, it was just Christopher.

And in 3X15, He does see Christopher but he also sees BUCK! ALOT!

Are you telling me that in this very intimate connection he has with Buck, that he seems so comfortable in - there was nothing similar that preceded that? Eddie broke down when he found out all his friends from the army were dead, was there something more there? Other than failing to save them from themselves and bad luck?

I feel like 7 seasons later and all I know of Buck and Eddie from before can be summarized in one paragraph each and nothing more - I can write articles about what I deduced watching them with each other the past 7 seasons, but nothing that explains that intense, intimate, tension underneath the surface between them.

I want to know where it's buried. Give me less LIs and chemistry-less relationships - And give me a history that can connect me to the here and now, that explains what made Buck and Eddie, almost instantly, BuckandEddie - buddie.

I want them to be developed characters, and not just the scratch the surface we got so far.

I have so many questions!!!

i just think that their actual relationship where they care about each other and want each other to be safe and their conflict is based on the moral conflicts that arise from venom's definition of "justice" is so much more interesting than the "wow i hate my ex" relationship that some people seem to want them to have. people hate to see two people have an amicable divorce and still care about the person they used to be with. and still see the person they used to be with even beyond the way they've both changed. anyway

while im trying to fall asleep i dont think ive ever shared one of the most personal reasons i hate the big reveal about the dual mizukis in aini

so one thing i related to with mizuki in the original aitsf was her relationship with shoko. despite how much shoko hated mizuki and loathed her for not being a perfect child (which is not something that exists but that is the point when you think of why her treatment of mizuki is so cruel its an unobtainable task for her) mizuki still loved her. because that is her mother. the person who gave birth to her. no matter how terribly mizuki was treated she thought it would all be okay if at the end of the day she could make shoko proud of her.

and i get it! hell im sure plenty of us do. ill be the first to say i am not my mother's favorite child. i spent so much of my childhood being berated and insulted for this or that, asking for nothing making myself small and doing everything i could to make her proud only to get a 'do better'. being called slow and having my intelligence diminished so often and made to feel useless for years but at the end of the day she's my mother and i wanted to prove i could be a child she could love. and i found companionship with mizuki in that!

and then aini tears that all away and is like "nope she's a clone and adopted :)" like please fuck offfffff this sucks.

Elizabeta's moms constantly make stupid mom jokes :p But they make Donna laugh so hard🤣🤣

(She has low standards for humor... Or more like no standards :p)

Nah because Donna can definitely tell where Elizabeta gets her own humour from. Because her and her moms make almost identical jokes.

And Donna thinks they're hilarious but doesn't actually show it beyond maybe a snort, but Angie would be on the floor.

idc that much about mapleshade's vengence, mapleshade's a character i stopped caring much about the second they were like "she is the cause of EACH AND EVERY CHARACTER'S DARKNESS!!!!" because they want to flaunt the one female antagonist instead of just making a new one. but man everyone saying that her victims were all completely blameless and even that it was ok to let her kittens die, that it was ok for frecklewish to loudly disown them and call them creatures while advocating for them to be homeless because "they didnt even live long enough for it to traumatize them" (and even trying to pin the blame on their deaths solely on mapleshade) rubs me the wrong way so bad

Is there something Going On universe-energy wise right now (/the whole last week)? Because goddamn things have sucked lately for many of the queer people in my life. Not even in a queerphobia way! Just other stressful life stuff!!

Could u imagine irida, altho trained for so long to be the next leader, never believed in herself to sucessfully be chosen? how she felt when her name was called upon after all day shed been telling her older friend palina she was the one to take on duty? Could u imagine the anxiety? The feeling that she had betrayed the only person who had treated her with an ounce of care? The feeling that her entire world was shifting? How she had to keep a smile and a prideful look to appear as the correct answer, a strong new leader to lead her people? How she realizes lina and her could never be friends on equal ground? Although it was never equal to begin with?

Stop putting Bixcassian negativity in the Andor tag, this is so tiring to see. If you don’t like their relationship and want to talk shit about it all the time DON’T TAG THE SHOW OR BIX we have enough hate from the rest of the fandom. There’s no reason to hate them and it’s not “problematic” or anything, just keep these takes away from the Bix and Andor tag

I have put exactly 2 posts in the bix tag in which I even mentioned cassian, and only 1 that expressed a negative opinion about their relationship— and even that one was mainly about not wanting to see their relationship used as a way to "fix" bix, but rather wanting to see her recover through community and her own strength. (The other was about being disappointed with the writers abandoning Bix's character in the last 3 1/2 episodes and removing all her strength and agency so Cassian can finally come and save her— if you interpreted a post about bad damsel in distress stereotypes and sexism in the writing as negativity about their relationship, I really don't know what to tell you.) I agree that putting these posts in something like the bixcassian tag would be incredibly rude, but I didn't do that. I am allowed to tag a show and character to talk about how much I love that character and how I'd like to see her arc develop. Saying "you can't tag a show with opinions about the show that I don't like" and "you can't tag a character if you don't ship her with the same person I do" is incredibly entitled. Those tags are for all of us who are fans of Andor and Bix to share. If you want to see pure bixcassian positivity, you can go to the tags for that ship.
