#Okay time for bed

[lovetommyactually]

so do you guys ever think about how Buck and Tommy are the most lonely characters to exist? and how they are opposite to each other in that?

Buck’s loneliness is so tragic to me because he knows he’s loved. He has friends, a found family, people who would literally drop everything for him. But there’s this unshakable part of him that feels like he’s always on the outside looking in. Everyone around him has their person (Eddie has Chris, Maddie and Chimney, Bobby and Athena, Hen and Karen) and Buck is there, a part of it, but never it. I think that’s why he loved Tommy so deeply, because for the first time, he felt like he was someone’s person. That he wasn’t just orbiting around everyone else’s world.. he was the world for someone. And then he lost that, and it must’ve felt like being thrown right back into that childhood ache of never being quite enough. and it reinforced every fear Buck ever had—that maybe he isn’t enough, that no matter how much someone loves him, they won’t stay.

And then we have Tommy. Who being lonely was probably the norm for him his whole life. He’s the kind of lonely that comes from a life of survival. He craves the sense of family and people. He wants people, he wants love, but he’s spent so long alone, it’s like he doesn’t know how to exist any other way. He'll literally gives endlessly for his people, he'll risk his literal life for an old friend, but the second anyone tries to give back, he pulls away because it’s safer that way. I don’t think Tommy has ever truly believed he deserves to be someone’s first choice, their one. And even if he wanted to be that for Buck, some part of him convinced himself that Buck needed something else/someone else.. because Tommy always expects to end up alone again.

They are mirror opposites in the worst way.

Buck aches to be seen. Tommy is terrified of being seen.

Buck leaps, Tommy hesitates.

Buck wants to hold on, while Tommy braces for the moment he’ll have to let go.

And i think they could be each other’s answer. They could break that loneliness in each other. But fear got in the way. And that is what makes them so heartbreaking.

Because love wasn't the problem. They loved each other deeply. I know they did.. But I think sometimes, love isn’t enough to fight against the things you’ve spent a lifetime running from.

I MISS CHRIS EVANS

I know it’s been said before but I want to format this in a way where everyone can understand.

tw/ mentions of dark themes.

mostly everyone has seen a horror movie. whether you’ve enjoyed said film or not is one thing. but nonetheless, you watched it, reveled in the content of it, and moved on with your day. you may have been disgusted, horrified, intimidated, whatever, but you still indulged and watched.

because it’s a work of fiction, you know that the actors in that film didn’t actually die gruesome awful deaths or experience traumatizing events for our eyes to watch. they were just acting. none of it was real. most filmmakers didn’t actually torture their employees and mostly all the actors were paid and compensated for the work they agreed to make. (this is not always true, especially in older horror movies.)

but alls that to say that this is how to frame works of written fan(fiction) and dark themes.

like a movie, these characters are not real. the situations are not real events that have happened. these situations can range anywhere from incest, rape, murder, etc.

you can rest assured that what happened to the fictional character did not happen to an actual person. it may have happened in real life to someone, maybe even you, but your beloved fictional character didn’t experience it. because they are not real.

luckily with fanfiction, more than 90% of writers are vigilant on tagging warnings onto their content and never force others to read their work. because dark content is not meant for everyone. if you cannot stomach such things, you should do what you do when you’re not enjoying that horror movie and just walk away. switch the page. lock your phone. delete the app.

there comes a time in every person’s life when you realize the world does not revolve around you. some people get a thrill/enjoy reading and writing dark content. their reasons could be as simple as they enjoy the heart racing anticipation of reading such things. or they could be more complex like using the content to work through trauma. whatever the reason, their motivations are valid and reasonable.

everything in the world is not meant for you. and that’s okay. it’s okay to let others enjoy what they want to enjoy. we don’t sit outside of movie theaters when the newest horror movie comes out and yell at the moviegoers that they are “sick in the head” or “psychopaths”.

fanfiction is an outlet. write and read what you want.

supernatural season 16 episode . they’re back in dodge city at the holiday inn express fighting over which place they’re going to first, either the boot hill museum or the water park next door. the water park wins. dean and cas are the obnoxious couple who refuse to be separated in the lazy river. sam and eileen get a joint raft on the big slide and nearly fly off. jack is trying to perfect the timing of the wave pool and keeps failing. it starts raining and only then (when they’re sopping wet and sun sleepy) do they realize they left all their hotel keys in the room . is this anything

fascinated that in toeing the line of "the doctor both is and is not asexual, and because the show is ostensibly sexier now there should be imagery of especially david tennant and various women (shockingly no men with ten) smooshing lips," it means that the doctor only ever instigates a kiss when it's got some scifi-type reason behind it, even starting with nine removing the time vortex from rose.

so only counting lip-to-lip contact for a second here*:

jack kisses the doctor (the parting of the ways)

nine removes the time vortex from rose (the parting of the ways)

cassandra kisses the doctor (new earth)

madame de pompadour kisses the doctor (the girl in the fireplace)

jackie kisses the doctor (army of ghosts)

the doctor leaves a DNA print on martha (smith and jones)

martha gives the doctor cpr (smith and jones)

john smith kisses joan (human nature)

astrid kisses the doctor (voyage of the damned)

the doctor kisses astrid goodbye as she dies (voyage of the damned -- only instigation on the doctor's part of any kiss)**

donna shocks the doctor out of being poisoned (unicorn and the wasp)

christina de souza kisses the doctor in planet of the dead and is overall very flirtatious at him in a way that almost feels like idk. an anti-romance plot. it's like everything that came before (and tbh... also amy and river song) in terms of "sexy" doctor-and-companion tension is lampshaded and made a bit silly. I don't know if this is just because the actress and dtennant have minus chemistry, but it's very funny that this is the final flirting + kiss and it's so very... "shrug, you're not going to be my companion, okay, goodbye"

*I think the only time the doctor even jokingly talks about kissing is in dalek's of manhatten, when martha and bby andrew garfield/frank have been captured and the doctor arrives. martha expresses her relief, and the doctor says something along the lines of: "well, you can kiss me later. you too frank, if you want." this is to diffuse a very scary/tense situation

**I tend to read the astrid final kiss as a kindness/comfort rather than romantic interest or sexual interest. because she is dying. and she kissed the doctor earlier, and is very scared

but wait! tentoo and rose were really going at it, you say! tentoo is part human/specifically human in a donna sense. tentoo is also super up for settling down and having a monogamous relationship, which isn't exactly the doctor's style in any regeneration. so yeah.. tentoo is another part of the tightrope, just like john smith. change the doctor into someone who is almost-but-not-quite the same, enough plausible deniability and voila, it's almost like the doctor is kissing someone, but crucially, the doctor still Is Not. in tentoo's case, the doctor is in fact watching it happen with a somewhat despondent look, before turning and leaving without waiting for rose to say goodbye. because, youknow. canonically the doctor cannot give rose what she wants (because he's not alloromantic/allosexual because he's an immortal alien) so it's better just to leave

lastly flirting: the doctor does flirt, but not often. the most flirtatious the doctor gets outside of above kissing line is when jack briefly joins nine and rose, and I'd call that the jack-contagion (affectionately, it's a good thing). ten, actually, flirts... less. comparably. (and hilariously is annoyed that jack flirts so much around him) a bit with rose in christmas invasion and new earth, but apart from the "sexy" wink, not very overtly. I mean, maybe I'm very ace, but I think they do banter rather than flirting. the one time the doctor interprets something as flirting that funnily enough isn't is when rose is talking to a cat. the doctor similarly gets flirted at (madame de pompadour, shakespeare code, martha several times, health and safety, silence of the library) but doesn't tend to enjoy it or often even notice it
