I think the thing that really hurts is that they brought the invisible string/red string of fate theory into it by bringing in the Abby connection. We know damn well that Tim "I've never seen a series bible" got that from the fandom - he shared a video including it before they even started working on the season, months before (according to THR) he called Oliver up about it.

EXACTLY!! and idk about you anon but everyone I talked to about that being canon HATED IT!! it was always just a lil hee hee that's the same name!! that's the name of your future boyfriend buck!! no way did I ever want tim to fucking retcon what we knew in S1 about abby and her tommy aka they weren't engaged!! just for the sillies in 8x6 and what honestly now feels like a slap in the face to us about the invisible string theory and to tommy's character cause boohoo buck can only be the wet kicked puppy and everyone else has to wrong him even if it means invalidating everything else they have told us about tommy and bucktommy ON SCREEN just cause tim wanted it to HURT. it's simply fucking cruel the way they did that and the kekeing in interviews afterwards (not forgetting how fucking gleeful oliver was in interviews pre 8x6 💀)
