#and i agreed too hard on your quip about endgame not to rant sorry 😭🫶

Tommy's good people, he's good for him! But if you could choose, would you explore bucktommy longterm or would you choose buddie? (hate the word endgame because it sounds like they'll only get an ending and I want the middle too)

yeah endgame is nonsense. and people acting like only your very last relationship will hold true weight have no idea how relationships work and also probably missing out on most of their life looking for The One who is absolutely and irrevocably Perfect.

like, i genuinely seen someone say that Tommy and Buck can't and won't say "I love you" to each other because they aren't endgame... so like. you can only say that to the very last person you're dating? this is the general consensus in fandom? also since when are you a writer on the show to state that with your full chest, please stop being clowns, on other people's blogs no less.

relationships don't work like that, people don't work like that.

and honestly? i talked about my expectations and my opinions about canon regarding the ships and i find it useless to repeat myself endlessly or making hypothetical choices between the two.

i want Tommy to stick around as long as the show can afford, regardless of the relationship's longterm outcome. i do think the show is going for buddie eventually — i also won't be heartbroken if it doesn't. i love both ships and since these people aren't real i don't have to choose. canon will make a choice and you know what? that's the reason i'm watching. and when it goes into a direction i don't like? that's what fanfics are for.

whatever happens, happens.

and i think people who are so wrapped up in the current ship wars are totally forgetting that the show could potentially go on for a lot longer than some fans anticipate it and we could totally end up with Tommy and Buck breaking up in s8/s9 and a new guy (gn) could come along and stick around for the next 6 seasons, while Eddie dates someone else, or no one even.

heck, one of them could get married in s13 and they could still end up together in s19. or the show could end without anyone's storyline being properly tied up in s8.

anyway, this is just my longwinded way of saying that i wanna see them all have interesting arcs and i don't actually have a preference as long as the storytelling is good.
