Society if WaCa fandom kept it's ship hate our of the ship tags

#listen u r allowed to dislike ships #but others are allowed to like them also #and seeing only ship hate when u go looking for something is #not the point of fandom. #warrior cats #crowleaf #bristelroot #firesand #ofc some of u r rightfully criticizing the writing too #and thats fair #but at least tag THAT with “ship criticism” or “ship hate” or sth of the like #so others can filter it out #thats what tumblr is all about #u dont allow people to curate their own internet experience #that goes against everythjng us old people (..im 21) have been advicating for :(

Most of the time, I try to read a one-shot for a ship before deciding my opinion on it. Honestly, I'm a lot more neutral on things than I thought I was before doing that, and if a ship is enjoyable or squicky just comes down to the writer in question.

Sometimes, the dynamic I'd imagine the ship to have and the dynamic the SHIPPERS imagine the ship to have is completely different, to the point where they are basically different ships.

I don’t think Eddie’s good enough for Buck. I feel like when they met Buck was still in his “I gotta give everything to everyone to be loved” and I feel like Buck has done for Eddie much more than Eddie’s done for Buck and I do think Buck cares more about Eddie than Eddie cares about Buck. Now, before you start screaming at me about how Eddie is pining and yadda yadda, I think the fandom confuses fanon with canon but if you only look at canon it’s pretty clear:

Buck: gave Eddie Carla, was there for Christopher when he and Eddie were fighting, took care of Chris when Eddie was shot, was there for the Eddie’s breakdown, for Eddie’s breakup, for Eddie ranting about his parents, when Eddie was working at dispatch, tracked down Charlie to make him feel better, organized Christmas party for Christopher, literally always there for him.

Eddie: went there with Chris when he was moping because he couldn’t be a firefighter anymore (after the firefam asked him to, there was literally a conversation where his position was “let’s leave him alone”), “ice goes on the eye, bud”, made him Chris’ legal guardian. That’s it. But he wasn’t there for the Daniel stuff, when he was hurting for Red, when he was hurting for Maddie, during the “what’s the secret of happiness” episode, when Eddie found out about the sperm donation he didn’t react at all. And Buck went to him in 6x12 but he wasn’t involved in the recovery. You can write a thousand fics where he keeps his distance because he’s secretly in love with him or where he’s there for him, but that’s not what’s happening.

People want buddie canon because they confuse canon!Eddie with fanon!Eddie who is great for buck. But it’s not on the show. The show repeatedly told us Buck is Eddie’s best friend but Buck’s best friends are Hen and Chim.

A SPICY ONE!!! There will be no screaming from me, I promise. Safe space here.

First and foremost, "I think the fandom confuses fanon with canon": yeah. I mean, definitely. However, in my opinion, this fandom (or at least my corner of it) seems remarkably good at understanding their intended canon characterizations.

I don't actually think I've ever heard this perspective before? I've seen a fair amount of "Buck isn't good enough for Eddie" (especially mid-6b) because people think Buck is emotionally self-absorbed and/or immature (which, yknow, I think is fair, but also makes sense given his whole life story)

For me, this seems like it boils down to differences in how we're interpreting the show. Because while I agree that fandom can get carried away with their own imaginations rather than what the text actually says, I personally watched the show all the way through mid-s5 before engaging with fandom at all (I learned there was a fandom at the end of s4), and a lot of how I interpreted Buck and Eddie's relationship was VERY different from how you've interpreted it.

To respond to your specific points:

Definitely agree that Buck is very much there for Eddie and Chris at every turn

Eddie/Buck in the tsunami arc: definitely different from how I interpret it. I see that change in Eddie from being like "he'll get over it" to "there's no one I trust more than you" as a really gorgeous portrayal of the ways we have to learn how to love people the way THEY need to be loved rather than the way that might come naturally to you. I think that by the end of the tsunami, Eddie knows Buck better and how to show him love better.

I definitely think Eddie was there for Buck during a lot of those other points you mention, but it is often subtle and/or brief. Which could be an argument in favor of "Eddie just isn't that important in Buck's life" but I've always read it as more that Buck, as a really significant character, can't ONLY go to his best friend with every problem in this ensemble format

Would love to hear more about your thoughts that Buck is Eddie's best friend but Chim and Hen are Buck's. The first point makes total sense to me but you're losing me on the second. I'm intrigued tho, can you give me examples?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!!

drop your thoughts/theories/speculation on why you don't think buddie will go canon in my ask box because I'm curious (I'll be nice I promise)

#anti buddie #buddie neg #911 fox #also worth noting that you're clearly sympathizing more with buck than you are with eddie #and thats fair #not liking eddie is fine. i don’t really like buck some of the time lmao #ask a bean

Listen, point is cool and nice. But, it's really making me want a socks gene so bad. Only colored feet. No tail or wing coverings. Maybe the face patch can stay, I'm on the fence

what about this though 😭 twitter(.)com/loonamaison/status/1551802748718534656?s=21&t=ZUFtsqzAHEpkjXXHb-odtg and the fansite supposedly has proof but didnt post it?😭

The journalist who wrote the article isn't a dubious source, he's interviewed LOONA personally and has reported accurately on that before. There could be many reasons why nothing came from it and BBC denied it (like it being the truth), but more than 1 fansite corroberated that Chuu wasn't receiving managerial support, and still nobody has explicitly stated that Chuu has no intentions of leaving the company and is not currently involved in a lawsuit. If BBC had dispelled every single rumor thoroughly, like any sane company would've if it were untrue, there wouldn't be room for speculation. But they haven't, and there's too much evidence that casts doubt on BBCs story (in which they say little more than "We're protecting our artists - mind your damn business" and refuse to acknowledge any details), which is why I find it hard to believe. If BBC ever does come out with a thorough enough statement to clarify any and all rumors, then I'll rescind all my comments and apologise for being presumptuous.

As for the video itself, a report saying that someone "may be involved in drama" and it not coming to fruition isn't really a lie - may implies the possibility of may not. I don't think it's even relevant to Chuu. The fansites choosing not to post photos which would legally count as defamation and deleting their comments after BBC releases an announcement saying they'd sue people for defamation should hopefully be self explanatory. These fansites rely on being in BBC's good graces to get the information on where to show up - this is also part of why they didn't say sooner - getting embroiled in their own legal controversy in a country where defamation laws are notoriously harsh may not be a price they're willing to pay, even for Chuu.

#and thats fair #sorry btw. i get that wishful thinking can be helpful but when it crosses into cognitive dissonance its ostritch head in sand #im not trying to be pessimistic or fearmonger im just being as realistic as possible #because if i plan for the most realistic outcome i dont get blindsided #if it bothers you guys i can tag the real world stuff with something so you can ignore it if it helps?

actually, it would be really funny if gerry shows up in a statement in tmagp considering the arg confirms that he & sam were in the same unethical magnus experiment. like he just just up in the middle of a talker & goes "gerard keay??? the gerard keay from traumatic childhood??? my fucking trauma buddy gerry???"

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #you know how schools have like 'most likely to be....' #sam reads about gerry burning down a building & goes. you know what. yeah thats fair #aster speaks

TTRPGs really looked into the universal playground issue of “I hit you with my super special arrow-shotgun and kill you!” “No you didn’t, I dodged it!” and solved it by giving us some math rocks to roll about it, huh.

I don't know what this is all I know is that LimL Joel makes me really emotional

#I know he has a tendency to go deranged on his red lives but idk something about him beginning to lose it after Jimmy died and killing Grian #joel smallishbeans #smallishbeans fanart #trafficblr #Again its his red life shenanigans but... If only Jimmy had known how affected someone was by his death. I'm choosing to believe this #and him then going out like a sad pathetic wet cat even with Grian's sacrifice... He really deserves a win one of these days lmao please #Also I cant stop thinking about how Jimmy wouldn't have left him. Grian was sensible to and most players probs would have #Joel really does become a lost cause so its fair and Grian did still care (and went to say goodbye as well as sacrifice his time for him) #But Jimmy would have stuck by even if Joel were in this state (and they'd both get themselves killed pathetically but) #And Joel having shown such genuine care for Jimmy and concern over his limited time... man anything w Jimmy makes me so emotional lol #I love them so #oh Ig about the art itself. I dont like it but hey thats how it tends to go when you try smth new. And no shame in trying #but if one person likes this then yayy I will still feel accomplished and happy #Im looking at this again and hey its not that bad actually yay I love to approve of my own art. self love hell yea #tubby art
