#aspects of our bond but we r not lke that.

[antonaliyev]

buddie is so funny because it has every beat of what would become q*bait and yet it just... exists on a show with multiple canonically lgbt characters that does not shy away from showing their relationships so??? the entire basis of q*bait is gone, it’s fully 100% just the writers being like yeah this thing that is very much associated w romance we won’t even acknowledge it could be romantic for shits and giggles??? i just... i do think i’m very biased but they have had them do a lot of just. things that i feel are too much to have been unintentional. once again, the paralleling of bobby and athena this last episode was so odd if unintentional? how do you not notice that? like they are continously established as driving forces in each others lives but at no point is anyone like oh hey let’s make it clear we’re not going anywhere romantic with this, let’s make it clear how this is strictly about finding family and you don’t need romance for it but.. they just dont?? it’s so. odd to me. becausee i think that’s what would happen if buddie were m/f and they didn’t want them as endgame. basic acknowledgment of how a lot of these things can be romantic then going not in this case, these two are just besties. so why not do that if u dont want buddie to be canon.

#siiiiighs and see!!! if this were literally any other show i'd be like oh the answer is easy: homophobia #but.... why on THIS SHOW.... that has proven it does not care for pandering to homophobes.... why no oh hey we have seen the romantic #aspects of our bond but we r not lke that. #see see i rlly truly think that budd13 as a m/f non endgame ship is one that tries dating and goes nope. and its so easy to also just have #buck deny being into men at several points if what ur going for is oh yheyre both heterosexual men u think they Discuss the possibility of #Romance with other men?? no #but every blatant chance to have buck b like oh im actually str8 was just. the opportunity was not taken #mentioning buck bc he's the one w a bunch of oh???' scenes #eddie does not b ut if they wanted to they could also establish him to be straight EASILY #and yet they do not #this is all to say that its just very weird fgvhjkl like just say uve seen the way certain scenes lend themselves to romance but its not #what they want and be done with it instead of being like oh no u are incorrect #i am in fact correct always bc i am so smart and cool and sexy /j #gosh do i have to tag this as spoilers #911 spoilers
