"maybe we should try making the madney wedding episode more about madney" says the people who haven't shut up about bachelor party night as if it's taking up 90% of the plot because ~feelings realization~

yes, i think there is a high probability of a buck/tommy kiss in episode six, but why are the ones against it acting like buck is going to come out DURING the ceremony or even the reception??? if anything it's going to be before that to NOT take away from madney's moment. (the fandom focusing on it is different from the GA who has already seen them kiss before and won't be as surprised as they were during 7x04)

3. how threatened by a ship do you have to be to get mad that the number of fanfics are increasing on ao3/tumblr??? buck/tommy popularity is measured by RATINGS first, social media commentary second. and the social media commentary is probably by the people who write the fics so??? it's all the same??? the two guys responsible for making buddie what it's been and has become have told us that they are open to doing the story if they feel it's right for their characters. getting pissy in the interim is not going to motivate them to go down that road any faster when they also said they'd never do it just because the fans have been clamoring for it. /logs off

my favorite are the people who are saying they’re killing Tommy off. And I’m just like… yes, they are going to have him and Buck at the wedding, then he isn’t in two episodes and then, they bring him back, to kill him? in one of the last episodes of the season? makes sense.

And where would the "tender and positive" vibe come into play? When Buck goes to Eddie for comfort and ends up realizing he loved him all along? 🤔😝 L O L @ anyone thinking Oliver, the one who went on record with not wanting Buck's bi awakening to be about homophobia (he must have discussed it with Tim!) wouldn't argue against Buck's first male LI getting killed off even if that were an idea brewing in Tim's brain. He'd reject the entire arc if he had to. For a fandom that claims they don't like when characters get killed off, it sure has no problem concocting scenarios where the ones they don't like meet that exact fate. This season it's Tommy. Last season it was supposed to be Lucy that died in 6A to send Buck spiraling 🤣

Ngl I can't take Buck/Tommy hate seriously when people are making it glaringly obvious that their feelings aren't about Buddie as much as wanting their fave to get the arc instead. If Tommy and Eddie actually became a couple, Eddie stans would be saying Repressed Eddie is enough for them while Buck stans would be asking how the guy with the bi "hints" in prior seasons didn't get the arc first. The actual percentage of people who want Buddie and Buddie only is not as big as either side that is rooting for one character over the other.

Who's gonna tell the fandom that Tommy not being in the next couple episodes - a side character LI not being needed every week? [gasp] since when - left room for more Marisol in his place? 😜

Oliver finding new ways to fuck with the fandom is my favorite part of these interviews, actually.

One day it’s “Yeah, I can see how that first Buddie locker room scene had people sensing sexual tension” and the next it’s “I thought we left couch theory in season six” 😂😂😂

He is not taking any of this seriously when he knows people will decide for themselves what he means regardless.

So We finally got bi Buck (without Eddie). These interviews are set up because of that, as it’s a huge storyline. Instead of hyping up what’s coming up for Buck and his current storyline (with Tommy) Oliver is exposing old secrets and keeps validating buddie theories.

But you don’t think that this indicates a serious buddie consideration????

Okay sure, let’s say it’s not. Can’t deny Oliver sure is showing his bias towards that though. That man is one second away from screaming out I WANT BUDDIE JUST AS MUCH AS Y’ALL DO!

-> I really don't understand the fixation on Oliver "wanting" Buddie when there are two people involved in making it happen and the other half ain't there yet. Is Oliver supposed to convince him for the fans' sake? Something we already know isn't going to make him want to do it? -> As someone who doesn't hate Buck/Tommy and wouldn't mind if it became a long term relationship, I have no problem admitting that Buck/Tommy isn't what the media is going to ask about when there's still a very large amount of fandom making what Buck and Tommy do about Buddie and feeling even more validated in demanding Buddie just because Buck is bi. What we're seeing now is no different than Oliver getting one or two BuckTaylor questions per interview and then having to address Buddie speculation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If Buddie shippers were able to enjoy Buck's arc the way it is, the journalists would ask more questions because they'd be confident in the clicks. -> The "validating Buddie theories" doesn't stick with me the way it does for you, sorry. Okay, he says he understands what the fandom saw in a particular scene now that he can speak about Buck as a bisexual man. Hindsight's 20/20. That...doesn't change what it meant in the moment when Buck and Eddie were supposed to be strictly besties who were only interested in women, and it won't change what it means in the future if Buddie were to not happen. It's like couch theory. That's gotten brought up this week. We're about to find out what he said. He might very well do a 180 from the season six finale where he said "idk how people weren't prepared for the couch to be about a gf". And if Bi Buck were to break up with Tommy and get a girlfriend again, Oliver would switch his answers to fit what's happening in canon at that particular time. That's what he does. Even if he decided to say he gets why fandom was so passionate about couch theory and that it made sense to him when he looked back on it? His opinion doesn't change Kristen's intent. Fandom's headcanons aren't canon - and neither are his.

You said "Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m saying." About Oliver putting pressure on Ryan. Then in another ask you said you didn't say that and corrected the anon?

Is this another one of those "I heard about you from a blog" things where people omit info to fit their perception of me knowing someone won't fact-check? Because there was a continuation that seems to be missing from your recollection: Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Oliver is the problem for answering Buddie questions (questions that the PR team encourages, apparently, everyone’s a shipper) without promising anything, not the guy who refuses to shut down the idea of Buddie because he doesn’t like to plan an “endgame” too far in advance. If you read past the first sentence, you would have seen that I explained exactly who I find at fault. (Spoiler alert: It wasn't Oliver.)

I'm quite confused by recent asks/posts. Ryan WAS put back in pr jail and Oliver IS suggesting buddie is in serious consideration.

Ryan isn't in PR jail yet when he just gave comments about episode five - the last episode we've had on tv - and these new interviews are using Bi Buck as an excuse to ask Oliver's opinions on Buddie. What are they supposed to ask Ryan? If anything's changed with Marisol in the last two weeks?

You might be reading his answers as Buddie being in serious consideration, but what he's actually said can be summed up by one of his quotes: "If they ended up taking Ryan’s character in that direction and it feels right for the story I’m always open to it.” (And again "open to it" does not mean "asking for it to happen". Speaking in hypotheticals is a long way from committing to the full extent on screen once you actually have to step back and think about what you're agreeing to.) And btw. It can't be in serious consideration when anyone who's been paying attention and not in denial can spot the difference between how Oliver handles the media vs. Ryan, including this season. And that's not a knock on Ryan if you know anything about him. ;)

the problem isn't just that media literacy is slowly becoming a dying art. it's that people straight up do not pay attention when they watch tv/film anymore.
