Hi! I know you probably get a lot of messages and what not but I wanted to say that I really enjoy your buddie meta that you write. I like how you don’t just talk about buck and eddie but the episode as a whole & how it relates to buddie in addition to the characters they interact with. I don’t know many people in this fandom who look at things as they are given in an analytical way so i really appreciate you and the work you write. I also wanted to know if you went to film school or anything cause in your last meta you mentioned framing in terms of when chimney was giving compressions vs how buck reacted when eddie got shot & i’ve never read anything where people payed attention to stuff like that. anyways my name is miya if you ever wanna exchange thoughts or analysis. ❤️
OMG, hi Miya! :D It's wonderful to meet you! And this is so lovely and sweet of you, thank you SO MUCH for your kind words! I'm so, SO happy to hear that you enjoy my meta as it is. It means the world, and I hope I can continue to provide you with an analysis that you can enjoy! *HUGS*
And no, I haven't gone to film school, but it feels like a huge compliment that you think I did. I have watched probably way too many TV shows and movies since I was a kid. It only got worse when I came out and was struck by a desire to see every gay film and show ever made, from all over the world. In addition, I do have a degree in General and Comparative Literature, which is all about analyzing, comparing, observing intertextuality, all to draw meaning out of text. Movies and TV might be a different kind of text, one that doesn't use only words, so you do have to take into account soundtrack, editing, angles, framing choices and so on that you wouldn't have in a literary text (these are things that you can learn to pick up on if you watch enough TV and films, and especially if you also read a bit about filming theories, which I have on occasion), but a lot of the tools to understand them are still very similar, because this too is text.
I would love to exchange thoughts and analysis whenever you want to! I'm a bit flooded indeed with messages rn, but I am always interested and ALWAYS happy to hear from wonderful people like you! I hope you have a beautiful day, sweetheart! Oh, and as always, here's my ask tag. xoxox

Greetings Bexxx! Could I ask how you are? I always miss interacting with you, but I never know how to initiate it
Ahhhh Bunny!!! I am a mixed bag, I have a week of PAID vacation saved up that starts today! I can focus up on the writing hard! Sadly I am sick for the first time in a few years with a cold that showed up outta nowhere last night. As well as hearing the news in the States today, oh my fucking God, what a mess.
I am doing my best over here but I am so fucking pissed over that.
But, how are YOU doing Bunny?

very simple resquest:
idia having a crush on yuu, but he has to be his own matchmaker and try by himself to woo them
i have a very serious idia brainrot feel free to ignore this
“What are you doing?”
“Wha- uhh, nothing?”
“Nothing.” You watch Idia scoot another centimeter closer. “Okay.”
“The breeze is less intense from here. That’s why I moved. Not because of you, if that’s what you were thinking.”
“The breeze? We’re sitting inside.”
“From the vent, obviously.” Idia says, not turning to face you but staring through his peripheral vision.
“And those flowers in your hand?”
“Are these flowers? I, uh, though they were weeds.” He fake coughs to cover up the awkwardness. “I guess I have no use for them. Did you…?”
“…”
“Sevens, you’re really gonna make me say it?”
You stare at him, refusing to help.
“…Would you like them?”
“Yes, thank you.” You smile at his suffering, taking the blue bouquet in your arms. They certainly didn’t look like ‘weeds’ to you.
“You know, since I’m here anyway…”
“Yes?”
“Sheesh, don’t make that scary face. I just…never mind. You probably have plans already, because you’re popular and all so it doesn’t matter.”
“Idia.” He stops mid standing up to walk away. “You spent the last twenty minutes getting close enough to sit beside me and then you pull a ‘never mind?’”
He visibly cringes. “You noticed that, huh?”
“If you don’t ask me out right now, I think I’m legally allowed to beat you up as retribution.”
“So you knew the whole time I was going to ask you about the movie…”
“Not the movie specifically, but what else would you be doing? Also, I thought things might be heading in that direction.”
“What? How could you know?”
“We’ve hung out several times a week for the past month.”
“Yeah, but I thought you only thought of it as friends…or y’know a pity hang out?”
“Last week I told you I liked you.”
“I thought…as a friend…”
“What did you think it meant when I said I wanted to bite you?”
“Uh…cannibalism?” You shoot him a look. “Geez, I’m short on friends these day, I have to take what I can get.”
“Well, go ahead and ask.”
Idia flushes pink from his cheeks to hair. “Do you insist on humiliating me?”
“Oh, so now it’s humiliating ask me out? I guess you don’t really want to.” You sigh dramatically, pretending to get up and leave.
“NO!! Wait. Ugh, why are you doing this to me?!”
“Because it’s funny.”
“…will…y…go…t…with…m?” he mumbles.
“Sorry? Didn’t quite catch that?”
“Sevens,” he curses. “I said, will you go out with me?”
You smirk at him. “Was that so hard, sweetheart?”
His eye twitches. “It’s like you want me to die from a heart attack.

Not sure if this theory makes any sense at all but I'm starting to believe that there's no time skip between Wally's phone calls and what we see/hear in the show's Media/Merchandise. If we see the Toyland call being made before the Homewarming episode then it would make sense that Wally's expecting Barnaby to come over soon. As well as the Homewarming sketch from the prior update. (I don't know, still kind of brainstorming this perspective)
that theory Does make sense and i've been considering it! the "timeline" is such a nebulous thing right now because we still... don't really know! there are too many variables and too many Maybes for any solid answer.
maybe the reality that the neighbors live in exists outside of time like you say, and like half of me suspects. there's so much reality fuckery already present, but I'm also... unsure of how much merit this holds given what we know / can infer about how time passes in Home. i'm putting this theory on a low shelf to look at but not prioritize
maybe it really has been 50 years, and Barnaby is either still around / Wally is still in contact with him, or Barnaby... isn't there. who knows, maybe Wally was just verbalizing some Wishful Thinking. i mean, Wally is a bit of an unreliable narrator, isn't he? we can't assume that everything he says is entirely accurate or truthful. and i mean, if it's been 50 years it makes sense that Wally would be pushing for connection / to revive WH. who knows how long he's been trying.
hm... i mean. it could be a mix of that and the Outside Of Time theory. who knows, maybe W is receiving calls from different points in the timeline - Wally may have started out just calling, and has just graduated to invading the WH website / getting pushy with the envelopes and media that's been sent to the WHRP. maybe Wally got tired of waiting for W to respond before W was even born. who's to say!

As a new crosshunt girlie who got eaten alive by people who think cloneshipping is the most immoral thing to ever happen, thank u for your service
Welcome to the best club in town, and I'm so sorry you've had to experience that. Most of us have, to one degree or another, and it's one sure-fire way to kill a fandom.
If people can't indulge their fictional fantasies in peace, then it's an unsustainable system that will eventually buckle and fall.
After all, what is the point of fandom if not collective fantasy?

Hi Zu! Happy New Year!
Also, did you saw what happened with Calcium-cat? You don't have to answer but it made me curious about something
Like, everyone got their preferences. Personally my mind doesn't accept gender-bend characters (Dream but a girl etc) because it's just...seem wrong to read the female/non-binary pronounce with character that I knew as a male for years. But I just don't read and move on, just like probably most people who doesn't enjoy a fic, does it make me transphobic?
Because the whole situation seems black-white for most people and it messes a bit with me xD
Hii!╰(*´︶`*)╯And Happy New Year to you too! ˚✧₊⁎
I can understand your confusion: what makes you feel weird is a fine yet important line between what you decide for yourself and what you decide for others.
It's okay to say "It's not my thing, and I am not" — that's how you feel and what you choose to be (or not to be), but when you say "There's no such thing for me, and naturally can't be", you start to question others and threaten their lives.
When it comes to Dream, don't worry, you don't have to immediately fall in love with him in dresses & with other pronouns in order to stay respectful to the fact that he can also be whoever he wants/is pictured to be (Dream is literally a sexless ball of energy in a skeletal body who, I quote Joku, can feel like boys and call themselves with masculine pronouns, — he's canonically transmasc, and you can see that there's nothing wrong about it! ówò)
So you're absolutely fine with your preferences as long as you accept and respect others' too! Because everyone deserves to be accepted and respected for who they are <3
Like, I'm straight, cisgender and Christian (the most boring combo xd) — that's just how I feel, but it can't and won't stop me from enjoying gay skeletons (who are all trans, wow! :D) and supporting lgbtq+ community, which is how others feel.
No matter the religion, God is Love, and this immense, comprehensive Love to your neighbor is not only about Acceptance, but about Forgiveness as well, even when it's hard. May your hearts be always filled with Love to one another ♡
