it's always really funny when fandom people try to paint themselves as brave rebel outliers for enjoying the most normative stuff imaginable. you sound like youth pastors. 'hey, you know what's really edgy and kinky and transgressive?? monogamy.'
“Oh no, you have nothing– nothing to apologise for. Look at me. Look at me. .... Look at me. I'm sorry that I made you feel like you couldn't tell me. Hey... I am so, so proud of you. Okay? Please forgive me.”

there are some headcanons where it's like. 'i would enjoy this as a light seasoning in fic but certain chunks of the fandom have become more committed to this than the actual canon and made it load-bearing in scenarios where it simply doesn't make sense'.
this came back on my dash and i’m thrilled to announce that when i checked the tags i saw that among the many documented grievances attached was someone else griping about the exact thing that spurred me to make this post. hello my comrade in exasperation may we all carry on from day to day

hot mess baby buck is such a fascinating little specimen especially if you contextualize it with what we see in 'buck begins'. in s1 he seems so self-assured but he's really just a kid who is so desperately looking for something that he can't name. he's still looking for that 8 seasons later.
NO FOR REAL. like, the retroactive context from 'buck begins' makes it all so much more painful.
i was saying this in a chat, but buck's 'i know' when eddie said he mattered to him was a goodbye, and i don't think eddie's realized it yet.
