They viewed my story again. They were the first ones to view it as well. I am not being rude, I said they need to listen to the viewers and realise why it seems offensive. I also said they can easily have a 3 dad story, and that they don't need to constantly put aside the gay stepfather.

Yes, I mentioned Ballum baby.

Brady: Can you keep a secret?

Bucky: Yeah, we can keep a secret.

Brady: What?

Bucky: Yeah, me and Buck are like a vault. No one else will know.

Brady: No, I want you to know. I don't want Buck to know.

Bucky: If you don't want Buck to know, then why are you telling me?

I just can't stop thinking about what an EE writer has recently posted online about current storylines. If I remember correctly, he claimed they're working hard to keep the show fresh and relevant - or something along those lines.

Therefore, I should assume they will soon get rid of Ballum (well... they have been in the process of making them irrelevant for quite some time now, actually) because the novelty has worn off and the audience can no longer relate to them or their relationship.

I can't even find the words to express how insulting that statement sounds to me.

They're telling me that the ordeal of an SA survivor - a male survivor at that - getting professional help, learning to accept and live with his trauma - and possibly getting justice, one day - would be of no interest to the audience.

They're telling me that said survivor and his husband (who loves him unconditionally) endeavoring to overcome their intimacy issues and slowly rebuilding their physical connection, despite inevitable triggers and setbacks, would be in no way relevant to viewers.

They're telling me that watching these two husbands raise THEIR(!) motherless daughter and navigate through the troubled waters of teenage life, helping her develop her potential, always supporting her despite their own personal struggles, possibly arguing because of different parenting styles, would not resonate with anybody in the public.

They want me to believe that nobody would relate to a young man struggling with an eating disorder (but willing to do whatever it takes to get better) who is currently in therapy, and who is inevitably faced with issues such as lack of control, anxiety, feelings of shame and guilt.

They are seriously stating that they don't know what to do with a character who's a detective, somebody who could provide endless opportunities to explore the social/economic/cultural roots of a number of common offences (and a sensitive, kind-hearted copper, who would empathise with at least some of the offenders, and thus feel conflicted about his job).

So, I'm confused..., what exactly is considered 'fresh and relevant' in their universe?

Max talking about Tony is my fav thing 🥹

ben: “good” isn’t good enough to describe my callum

[henryspearl]

still feels so surreal that this little meet up in london with @minimitchell happened last night. after three years of being friends, talking and chatting ballum, we were finally able to do it face to face and it was so much fun😅

hope you enjoyed your time in london, nina and hope you had a safe trip back home! until the next time…🥂

thank you ballum for bringing us together<3

Is this a good moment to cordially invite the Ballum fandom to BL tumblr? Look, we have almost everything you want for the low price of reading (sometimes slightly wobbly) english subtitles!

cocky short gays with too much trauma:

shady gays:

gay mechanics:

gay signing:

complicated father-son relationships:

desperate kissing:

thighs:

aaaand we even have dark rooms!

actually... yeah, for our photographer gays:

I know we're all a little heartbroken right now, so I hope this suggestion maybe helps someone fill the void that Ben's exit will leave. A lot of BL shows are free to watch on youtube and if you go in with an open mind, they can be so much fun!

[stevesnightmares]

you are not a real yaoi connoisseur if you haven't spent your nights watching compilations (or 100 videos of 40 seconds each) of all the moments of a gay couple in a British show that has been airing since the 80's and that has more than 1000 episodes.

Bucky: I care about all of my friends equally. Brady: We were all attacked while you were away. Bucky: Is Buck okay?!
