#i understand soul deep obsession with shit ... ive shipped a ton of non canon things myself....... but LORD

[3416]

speaking as a buddie enjoyer and og fan (I like both og and lone star which seems rare lately lol), the buddie fandom is exhausting these days and they’ve been sucking the joy out of shipping buddie for me. l still like them but the fandom (not everyone of course) is too much. it’s all about when they will be canon and putting down anyone who disagrees.. and shipping shouldn’t even depend that much on canon anyway? have these people ever shipped something just for the sake of it? also they’re soo biased about everything. I hate their stupid takes on lone star and tarlos because it’s SO clear they’re just bitter that tarlos is canon and buddie probably never will be. and it’s weird because I also like buddie but my god sometimes I just want them to shut up about it shdhksks sorry

nah, a lot of people enjoy both!! i just think aspects of the fandom and super intense fans make people feel like they gotta align one way or another, but... it's all kinda stupid. it's just taste. i think you're right on about the shipping non-canon thing though, and it's actually interesting to me? this obsession with things going canon even when... the show was never necessarily setting it up that way?? is kinda immature. like it's one thing to even believe it could happen in your wishful thinking or have your theories, but what really intense fans have turned it into is not that. it's really nasty about anything that isn't this strict belief (even @ the ppl involved in the show... the ppl involved in the adjacent show... other fans), and it's clearly coming from people who don't know shit about wider audiences/the writer's intentions of a show like 911.... they only know their own opinion and that's it... like a total lack of self awareness about where they are in the chain of media consumption. which would be fine if i hadn't seen such a volume of reeeally shitty stuff about anything non-buddie coming from the same mouths just DIRECTLY at people. it's ugly and terrible, and i don't blame you for wanting away from it. there are plenty of people like you. i think so much of it has the potential to be fun and imaginative... like people are so obsessed, they are dissecting the show line by line and having fun with metaphors and symbolism, and it's legit all fun and games until the possibility that it might never actually happen is brought up. or you don't 100% buy into the idea that this is intentional.........💀 idk, i feel like this is happening time and time again in various fandoms, it's almost funny to watch sometimes
