I think it’s weird to say 911 is queerbaiting Buddie when it’s already a heavily queer show. Like, even if that specific queer ship isn’t together right now, they’re not misleading people into thinking it’s a queer show when it’s not—it has had main queer characters since the beginning and has only gotten more queer over time. The creators of the show even have a different show with a main gay ship that gets significant screentime together (Tarlos).

It’s frustrating because it feels like people hinge all their representation expectations on a specific ship becoming canon. And yeah, I love Buddie, but that’s not how representation works. For one, Hen and Michael have been rep since the beginning, and for two, Buck is canonically bi now, and that’s true regardless of whether Buddie becomes canon. The state of queer representation in 911 does not hinge on Buddie, even if Buddie would be nice.

It’s also frustrating because part of the goal in normalizing representation is that more canon queer ships can be treated narratively the same as straight ships. That means sometimes they won’t get together immediately (please give me more queer slowburns). And if it does become canon, I honestly think that for Buddie, all the time it took would only make the relationship more interesting and meaningful, not less. It wouldn’t be Buddie to me if they got together back in season 2 or something.

And for anyone going, “what about all the interviews?” Well, for one, often the interviewers are the ones prompting the Buddie questions, and actors have to be careful about their answers. And for two, fans have a tendency to read into things from their own bias—it’s normal to do that but it means I’ve seen a lot of people reading into statements as being about Buddie when there’s a lot of other reasonable explanations.

I want to address the fact that Robin Wood was cool for like 5 whole seconds, but then he conspires and tries to kill Spike (yes, I know Spike killed his mom, but they were literally mortal enemies). Instead of Spike dying, it seems Robin instead helps him move past some of his own mommy issues. Buffy then tells Robin straight up that Spike is her right-hand man, and if he tries to do his shitty revenge fantasy again, that Spike would kill him and that she would totally let it happen in pursuit of the picture at large and the fight against The First. Spike killing Robin's mom was a natural order moment in the Buffyverse. A slayer being killed by a vampire while another is called was literally how the system worked since the beginning with the first slayer.

Thhhhheeennn Robin's salty fucking ass proceeds to walk around Buffy's fucking house and tries to conspire with anyone that would hear his needless fucking bullshit. Now, it's not even about his mom anymore. It's about him and his fragile ego. The second he gets to jump on the "Buffy is a horrible leader" train and fuck the only other slayer in the world, he snatches that shit and runs like he earned it. Robin was a soft boy with mommy issues. He was even less valuable to Buffy as he was his own mother, and they both rejected him for Spike. This isn't revenge. It's a pissing contest in the least and dick comparison at its height. There's no honor in this plight. It was an obsession. It was empty from the beginning and a way for him to numb himself from the pain of not being good enough for his mother to stay. That's compulsive behavior, and the scheming and the willingness to throw Buffy under the bus along with her "friends" is proof.

Also, btw Spike sacrificed himself to empower the potential slayers and solidify the line of slayers to come. People wanna come for Spike and act like he's such a dick because he didn't apologize to Robin. He doesn't owe Robin a damn thing, least of all an apology. The person he is truly mad at and needs an apology from is gone. He's obviously suffering from complex grief and a shit load of resentment. I completely understand both of those experiences because I've suffered from them both, but that's not a legitimate excuse to impose his shit on other people. Spike killed his own mother and 2 slayers and so many other people throughout his vampire life. Using his soul and ultimately dying to secure the Slayer line absolves him.

Hate Spike or love him because that honestly doesn't matter, but don't act like Angel's tainted little, Wolfram & Hart soul would have gotten the job done. He had to go deep dark while going under cover. His soul was at best compromised. Spike's soul was in full work mode. He was the truest champion at that moment.

You're allowed to dislike children, but you still have to be polite and reasonably kind to random ones around you for the same reason you're passingly polite to random adults in you're daily life: Because they are people

Hi, just saying, DMs exist for a reason, and if you're going to shit on fics/writers on tumblr dot com where they could VERY easily see it, maybe just don't? Have a shred of empathy and just imagine what it might feel like if you came across someone talking about you and something you were proud of one day. And no, obviously I'm not talking about fics that are racist. I'm talking about ones that just aren't to your taste. Nobody's saying you have to like them. Nobody's saying you have to read them. Just don't be a fucking dick about them in public.

My heart absolutely breaks for Amangeaux. like imagine after not seeing people for half a decade, you finally reunite only to immediately be plunged into battle. No time for awkward explanations or stilted apologies, it’s fight together or die. But she also can’t help herself but care for them. She tries to protect raphaniel from his own worst instincts, but steps back when she realizes he needs this for himself. She tries to reign in karna’s blood-thirst, while still being willing to follow her down into the pits if it means a shot at helping karna to safety.

(She doesn’t know that these people she cares so deeply for are the ones who poisoned her husband to keep her from producing an heir. Or that karna offered up her baby for murder, not even caring to check if he actually posed a threat to the throne. And even worse, they’ve told each other these secrets, and are completely remorseless about what they’ve done.)

And then, after being blackmailed into doing the FDA’s dirty work which nearly broke her as a person, she discovers the person who organized it all was the same woman who’s looked after her all her life!! and she finds this out right before she has to deal the final blow to end her suffering!!

Can someone please remind this man about the existence of the cONTINENT HE LIVES IN

[crispyanonartnsfw]

I love my job but I hate capitalism and especially work culture because tell me why the fuck am I busting my ass all day, every day, with so so little time to spend with the loml let alone my friends let alone being by myself just enjoying my hobbies yet I STILL feel guilty for taking half a day off (something I'm absolutely allowed to do since I'm a freelance and get paid by the hour) LIKE why don't I see the people I work with struggle with this the way I do. I'm collaborating on something where way more hands are needed but they apparently prefer to work overtime and skip lunch break instead of asking to outsource to more freelancers like me (and for context it's not a matter of money, like, at all).

Apparently so many adults don't have a life they want to spend time living?????????? They have kids and just want to be at the office/studio/workplace 24/7?????? Bro go home and kiss your wife idk

Thinking about Armand getting sick— sick enough to have a noticeable change in his body and how in some ways it makes him more tragic.

In the books he’s turned quite young, at 17, before he’s properly grown into what he would look like as a man.

But for show!Armand who was turned at 27, he absolutely would have seen that whole development. And then, through this wasting illness, lost parts of it. That no matter what he does or how much he eats his body will always show these ravages of illness.

Armand being doomed to look in the mirror with a slight disconnect in what he sees and knows as his body and what he knows as what it could be.

The sickness also helps tie into the rule about not turning the weak, instead of the young. In either case, it helps parallel Claudia in that, logically, neither of them should have been made. Both of them have a disconnect between who they are and what they look like. But that, just like in the books, Armand’s is less severe and thus easier to live with.
