For the writing requests, can I request a hurt/comfort scenario where Bi-han has accidentally hurts or almost hurts the reader with his powers? Like maybe he loses control during an argument or an intimate moment, or maybe they're training or on a mission he accidentally hits them with ice in the heat of battle. He feels really guilty about what he did, but reader knows it was an accident and tries to help him through it. Feel free to edit the scenario as you please. Thank you!
Bi-Han was furious.
No, that word doesn’t even begin to come close to describing how he felt in that moment. Bi-Han was livid and it was all in due to the sheer recklessness that you had shown during your most recent mission. You almost died on serval occasions throughout the mission but had managed to escape with minimal injuries by the skin of your teeth. However Bi-Han didn’t care about that part of the story because despite being happy and relieved as he was that you had came back to him with treatable wounds; his main focus was on the fact that you were so careless with your life, so irresponsible and so seemingly uncaring of the consequences that your actions would’ve caused had it weren’t been for your quick thinking.
So as Bi-Han was practicing patience whilst waiting for you to finish up your medical examination, you finally exited the room and just before a single word could escape your mouth to question his reason for being here, fulling believing that he would’ve been deeply involved with some Grandmaster business. Bi-Han then grabbed you by the bicep, his ice cold hand drawing a sharp gasp from you as he wordlessly dragged you to your shared room, where upon arriving, he swiftly shut the door behind him before addressing you directly. ‘What were you thinking out there!’ The cryomancer hissed, taking a step towards you. ‘Your reckless could’ve jeopardised the mission.’ Bi-Han adds and everything leading up to now had finally started to make sense.
You knew that it would only be a matter of time before word reached Bi-Han and you knew it would only be a matter of when before he would hunt you down and demand answers. ‘The only thing that you should concern yourself with is the fact that we achieved what we were sent out to do. The mission was a proven success, the method as to how we obtain that success shouldn’t matter.’ You replied straightforwardly, wanting to be done with this argument as fast as you possibly could, having already finding it redundant; and while the fact that you had gotten ahead of yourself during the mission was something worth criticising.
You weren’t new to this. You knew exactly what you were doing and you knew that Bi-Han’s frustrations often came from a place of worry and deep concern, but since he doesn’t give himself the leeway to express his innermost emotions that when he does, it comes across as him being angry or frustrated. ‘You almost got yourself killed!’ Bi-Han practically exclaimed, his hand that was clutching onto your bicep tightened it’s grip, causing you to wince as you felt a numbing or a painful tingling sensation -which one it actually was you weren’t really sure- spread across your bicep. You tried to breath through the pain and act as though Bi-Han wasn’t currently giving you frost burn, but you knew that the longer you let this went on, the more severe the damage you would sustain.
And not even a second later, your willpower to push through the pain was quickly reduced to nothing, as you found yourself wanting nothing more then the numbing, tingling pain stop. ‘Bi-Han.’ You tired saying with a steady voice but the inflictions of hidden pain within the way you said his name had him on guard. ‘Please let me go, it’s hurts, you’re hurting me.’ Was all you said in a whisper, just as a tear escaped from your eye and streaked down your cheek, before gesturing with your eyes towards the hand he had kept glued to your bicep since the beginning of your argument; which at this point had felt as though there was a small impact of ice growing from within. Upon your desperate plea to be released, Bi-Han immediately removed his hand as though you had somehow burnt him.
He watched as you whimpered and it all hit him hard that despite the fact that he had already let go, you were still very much in pain and he was the reason that you were in pain. He had let himself become overwhelmed with emotions and as a result his powers, something that he has sworn to only use as a means of protecting you, had potentially caused you irreparable damage. Bi-Han was sickened by the thought and by extension he was sickened with himself for allowing you to get hurt in the one place he promised that you’d never be hurt. Ever. ‘I hurt you.’ He said after a moment of torturous silence. ‘I was hurting you, the one person I’d swore to protect with my last breath.’ His soul was screaming, completely torn between wanting to come to your aid and comfort you but also fearing the idea of harming you more than he already had.
‘How long was I hurting you before you spoke up?’ Bi-Han asked as he gauged your expressions closely in the instance you were still withholding the rest of your pain from him.
‘It doesn’t matter.’ You say, trying to reach for his hand to hold but Bi-Han withdraw from your attempts, hiding his hands behind his back in shame as he averted your forgiving gaze that he didn’t feel he deserved.
‘It matters to me, my love.’ Bi-Han stated, clenching his fists. ‘I hurt you. Whether it was intentional or unintentional doesn’t make much of a difference when the end result is all the same. I hurt you. I caused you pain. I made you shed a tear. I made promises that I see now that I can not keep.’ The cryomancer finished as he chose to stare at the floor before closing his eyes, where he would be greeted with flashes of your pained face and the tear that streamed down your cheek; Even from behind his eyelids he was being haunted. If Bi-Han could take your pain he would without hesitation, but he couldn’t and with that brought the dreaded sense of helplessness.
‘Bi-Han.’ You uttered softly, moving to stand in front of him, watching closely as his breath hitched in his throat and took notice of how his body tensed uncomfortably into itself, as you reached your hands out to cradle his perpetually conflicted face between them before Bi-Han melted into your touch, practically nuzzling his face further into your touch. You smile at this as you proceeded to stroke the apples of his cheeks with your thumbs. ‘You didn’t mean it and I know you’d never intentionally hurt me. Ever. You’ve proven that more then enough times for me to know that you’re a man of your word.’ You told him as you pressed a kiss to his forehead, then down to his nose, then finally pecking his plush lips. ‘Your hands are the only hands I could ever feel safest within.’ You admitted, kissing his lips once again.

Oooh this might be a controversial take (for the bireena community maybe) but I feel like I need to get it off my chest
I don’t ship sekhan, I feel like that is completely obvious, but-
I didn’t want bireena in khaos reigns either (even before it came out and sekhan became canon)
At most, I wanted them to meet, try to kill each other maybe, have no choice but to team up, and then leave off on a cliffhanger on what the future could hold. LIKE that was it. No romance yet, maybe not even an official friendship, just obscurity to set up their future.
I feel like we’re still at a point where Bi-Han needs to make a lot of personal growth first. The last thing I want him doing is putting his nasty unredeemed hands anywhere near my precious SAREEEENNNAAAA!! If they were to interact at any point in future games or kombat packs, I want the focus to be on redeeming the two (mostly bi-han) cause at the end of the day, I am a Bi-Han fan first, bireena fan second. I will even take it if they just end up as friends if that means he can finally redeem himself and not go down the constant path of evil and being someone’s side-kick.
From my time on twitter I’ve noticed the constant need of some bireena fans to attack sekhan and complain that we didn’t get bireena, which is fair they’re allowed to do that, but I think that’s genuinely the wrong way to look at this whole situation. I mean, if you wanna think in context to how Bi-han acts/ presents himself in this timeline, I actually think he and sektor make perfect sense. He doesn’t like people disagreeing with him and sektor is basically the embodiment of an enabler/ loyalist. OF COURSE, he’d be down for that (which is not to say I like sektor’s writing either, I wanted her to betray Bi-Han and push her own image onto the Lin Kuei). But I think the point of putting him with her (though I don’t want to give NRS any writing credit yet) is to show how messed up his mind is and how he goes for the wrong methods to get what he wants (like liu kang said).
I know we shouldn’t exactly take the Johnny cage announcer voice as canon but I feel like everyone is missing the “future” part in “bi-Han’s future bestie”. They still haven’t even officially met if you don’t count him kicking nitara’s ass at the Ying fortress. If they had gotten together in khaos reigns it would’ve been just as bad and poorly written as sekhan. If you wanna attack sekhan and call it forced because her entire story revolves around a man then you need to also keep in mind that if Sareena had been written as a romantic interest to Bi-Han in khaos reigns it would be the exact same thing. Sareena still has her own soul to redeem and her own past to confront. The last thing she needs is to be with a man that has all the mental maturity of a group of middle schoolers who frequent Hot Topic.
(This portion is my own headcanoning and how I want them to meet, I’ll mark where it ends)
As stated before, I think the main priority should be Bi-Han and Sareena focusing on their redemption arcs if they are to interact with each other in the future. Bi-Han needs to see the error in his ways of thinking and let go of his pride. Sareena needs to see she’s more than just an underling to Quan Chi and break free from his control. If anything, I think the best way to approach this is to maybe bring up MK Mythologies again and have them meet through that. Maybe Bi-Han gets betrayed and gets stuck in the netherrealm and has no choice but to spare a life (Sareena’s) and relies on her to help him get out. That way it would teach him the value of mercy that he didn’t understand in Khaos Reigns. And from there I think in terms of Sareena’s story she sees someone with a tainted soul and feels some empathy about that. Helping him to redeem himself- to her- would be like a way of helping her understand that no soul is too far gone and she herself can be redeemed and help others.
As far as how he would act after being “redeemed” I can’t exactly tell you how I think he would act, especially since he’s not really the apologetic type. But maybe an interesting route he can take is Kuai Liang’s old role in the previous timelines. He’s seen how fa pride can take you and how destructive it is. That way he’s the perfect perspective to redo/ remodel the Lin Kuei. Kuai Liang seems too focused with the Shirai Ryu this time around so if anyone should be redeeming the Lin Kuei it should be the guy who has taken the most mental and physical damage from being a part of it. And from that little plot line, the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei can make peace with each other.
Again, THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ROMANTIC FOR BIREENA. I’m more than happy if they’re just friends in the end. I just want some sort of redemption and closure for them for ONCE! They’ve been subject to so much heartbreak and evil in previous timelines, they deserve better than this one dimensional writing.
(End headcanon here)
I know this may all come off as hypocritical coming from me, the most frequent poster in the bireena tag 😂, but keep in mind the type of content I post. I VERY CLEARLY do not take myself or my art very seriously and most of my art is comedy based. So before you sharpen your pitchforks and sum me up as just another bireena artist, just know I draw what entertains me the most and I’m usually not serious about it.
Do I still want bireena? Or course I do. I just don’t want it NOW. I’m willing to wait- I don’t want forced/ rushed writing on a ship I’ve devoted myself to for the past year.
#hot take#mortal kombat 1#khaos reigns#bireena#bi han#sub zero#sareena#sektor#THIS IS KINDA A ROUGH DRAFT#I have more thoughts on the manner but I’m not a super eloquent writer#plus I need to outline it since again- I struggle with writing#THIS IS EXACTLY WHY IM AN ARTIST AND NOT A WRITER LOOOL#I feel like if I could properly write I would have an actual bireena comic planned out by now#but I lack the proper skills and consistent writing for it#but hey that’s what practice is for#so I guess take this post as me practicing putting my thoughts into words instead of making dumb doodles#HOLY YAPP I SHUT UP NOW

you are so wise about daichi so i need your headcannons for him right NEOW /nf
First of all, thank you for thinking I'm wise?? That's very sweet
And Oohhhh you dont have to ask me TWICE
Daichi headcanons!
He has a lot of scars from his profession and just generally being stupid (he can be quite clumsy at times)
Stretch marks EVERYWHERE, I'm telling you
He can get pretty insecure about his thighs and stomach (dw his partner makes sure that doesn't happen often)
Being a police officer with a really big heart and sense of justice is HARD (I recommend kings-highway's post about this, I love their take on it), however he also wouldn't even THINK about quitting.
He has the reputation around his police station for being a softie (both negative and positive) and usually when they're dealing with people who are very torn up or emotional Daichi is the first person they like to send to diffuse the situation.
He has a really high pain tolerance!
He has the habit of furrowing his eyebrows a lot (when he's thinking, confused or just angry) so he has a wrinkle between them early in life
He's very grumpy in the mornings
His choice of drink is beers, even shitty ones
He's one of the least pickiest eaters you will ever meet, tries everything (within reason) at least once. He was the one eating his siblings' leftovers because he wouldn't want anything to go to waste.
His family has a cook book that was passed down to him from his mother's side. He likes cooking a lot, both caused by the necessity to do so to provide for his family and because he just really likes to eat (he's canonically the second biggest eater I mean??)
I don't think he'd be as oblivious as people sometimes joke about him being? I think he'd realise that Michimiya has a crush on him (and maybe that the tension he keeps having with the captains might also be them being flirty).
One scenario relating to that last one that I thought about: Kuroo flirts with him but excuses it for being competitive, he doesn't think Daichi picks up on it and acts all cool and cocky until Daichi flirts back. That man is GONE.
Also, since I'm talking about crushes and whatnot, I think Ikejiri and him had a kind-of-but-also-not-really relationship at some point (both were figuring things out, so maybe more queer-platonic?). I mean, the scenes with them are so cute I just can't
In my head that man is BI. In some iterations, I can totally see him as trans ftm as well (I just struggle with thinking about how that man went through high school already being stealth)
He is SILLY. That man has a secret mischievous side. Suga and Asahi know it, and Suga has used it multiple times to prank underclassmen and friends. Because Suga they don't trust, but if he gets the reliable captain to be on his side? Guaranteed success.
He's competitive. Even in the timeskip, I'd say. His responsible act drops pretty quickly if you make a competition out of it.
Do not challenge him to wrestle, though. That man was trained from a young age (play fighting with his siblings, they'd dogpile him when he was an older teen)
He actually stays in contact with a lot of people post-timeskip, I'd say? I mean especially his old teammates, he will forever have a soft spot for them in his heart.
Daichi's parallel to the first year's is Hinata. similarly to Sugawara's being Kageyama (I made a whole post about this), Daichi cares a lot about Hinata and is the one who bought tickets for Suga, Asahi and him for the MSBY vs Adlers match.
I know it's rather unrealistic but I often think about him living together with the captains? Not all of them but the usual combination you see of him with Kuroo, Oikawa, Ushijima and Bokuto. I could go INTO DETAIL about how wonderfully chaotic that household would be (I might one day)
He is very disciplined about staying fit/flexible, but he was not exactly blessed genetically. He gets back pains pretty early post-timeskip and asks Ennoshita for advice through his number. (He also always makes sure to check in on how his former underclassman is doing)
He can grow facial hair but usually shaves it because he doesn't really enjoy how itchy it feels. (It does look good on him though)
Suga was the one who got him off 3-in-1 shampoo, now he uses the bare minimum of products (soap, shampoo, etc.), with the addition of hair oil as it tends to get dry very easily.
Suga and Oikawa are very close friends and they both enjoy teasing Daichi whenever they can, eventually they rub off on him and he gets interested in gossip and shows they're interested in.
He's the kind of guy that says "I don't get why you watch this" but will continue to stand by the TV for half an hour to 'sneakily' watch it.
Family is very important to him. Contrary to what most people think though, to him family is not about blood and genetics but the people who are dear to you (I wonder why he came to that conclusion *ahem* his father *ahem*)
He's really protective when it comes to his siblings. If there was ever a case where they got bullied, he'd be the kind of brother that would pick them up from school to intimidate the bullies. (As cringe as it might be)
His siblings visit him but also come over when they need his help or a place to stay. He is always happy to help them.
Also, here's a very specific one: He can walk in heels. Why? His sisters used to play dress up with him (I mean the whole nine yards, makeup and hairpins and a tiara), and he ended up wearing his mothers heels.
I also had a full concept for his family's names and (kind of) meanings so I'm just going to throw this in there (since it fits with my angst post about him having an absent father):
Kōzui (dad) -> flood
Moemi (mother) -> abundant, thriving
Daichi (eldest) -> earth
Takemi (oldest sister) -> strong, beautiful
Riku (middle child, brother) -> land, shore
Mirai (youngest sister, twin) -> future
Kōji (youngest brother, twin) -> good fortune, peace
Daichi is the grounding eldest and sadly kind of the foundation of the family. Takemi was the first daughter, her mother promised her to nurture her strength but also her beauty. Riku was the shore after rough times at sea (peek at his fathers name, the parents were on a very rough patch). Mirai and Kōji gave their mother hope for the future (their father truly left them during that pregnancy).
I also made an art post (I don't like that one all too much but still it exists) about it, but I think Daichi could have a tattoo with their birth flowers if he ever thought about getting tatted.
Daichi is multilingual (from taking up interest in learning other languages and/or helping out his siblings when they study them) Here are a few fun ideas of how it plays out:
He scares the living hell out of Oikawa by suddenly speaking fluid Spanish to him (Oikawa muttered something in Spanish when he was frustrated). Oikawa later makes it a habit to say things in Spanish when he only wants Daichi to understand/hear it
Daichi kind of bonds with Nishinoya over it because he travels so much
It's great for his job, he can communicate with tourists and foreigners well (plus its extra intimidating when you're being ridiculed by a cop in your native language)
Languages: German (this one is just me wanting to add a language I speak and adore), English, Japanese (obv), Spanish, maybeee more but less fluently?
Spanish: seemed somewhat easy enough, spoken in a lot of places
German: He wanted to see if he could, since its considered very difficult to learn
English: Good for his job, broadens the horizons a ton
Aaaaanyway these are just what came together after a brainstorming session, I'm sure I'd have more but I think this is quite a lot for now lol.
#this is what happens when I get to rambling btw#a lot of this is about his family#partly because I so rarely see hcs with them included#sawamura daichi#haikyuu#haikyuu headcanons#ikedai#captain squad#arts hcs

5 and... jaytimkon??? (For the drabble prompts)
Jpeg fr the things I would do for a jaytimkon from you akfjslajdlaja
-@bi-bats
I haven't drabbled much into jaytimkon territory, but i'll do it for you, beloved <];)
"So how long have you two been married?"
It comes out of Jason's mouth as a joke. Or, at least, he means it as a joke. He expects a scoff or an eyeroll or maybe a besotted smile. He isn't quite sure what to do with the startled look Kon gives him.
"What?" the guy asks, stupidly thick lashes fluttering in abashment. His cheeks go pink and Jason gets the sense he's resisting the urge to fan his face like a scandalized genteel woman.
Jason nods his head towards the door that Tim had just left through after walking in, saying, "Do you-" and promptly getting handed exactly what he needed from Kon without having to specify what it was. It isn't the first time it's happened since the two of them have set up shop at the little basement coffee station - separate, of course, from Tim's regular coffee station up in his living area - waiting for Tim to work his genius.
It's kind of magical the way they operate on the same wavelength - finishing each other's sentences, knowing what the other needs, vollying inside jokes back and forth too fast for Jason to even pretend to keep up. It makes some kind of longing crawl up in his throat. So he teases instead of saying Can I get in on that? Instead of saying Stop doing that before I start uncontrollably sobbing. Instead of saying Who do I have to kill to get me a bitch like that?
Kon stutters out, "We're not- that's- why would you-"
"Oh my god, breathe," Jason orders, taking pity on him. "I was messing with you. I just meant that you two practically share a brain. It's kinda freaky. But also...kinda cool."
Kon looked down and shrugged. "Just known each other a long time. Lotta missions, lotta near-death experiences. Watching Santa get blown up together probably had something to do with it."
"You- what?"
"It's whatever." Kon waves a dismissive hand through the air. "We're close, but - I dunno. You bats have something else entirely going on. I'm sure you understand him better than I do."
"Oh, come on," he can't help but protest. "Just 'cause we're both bats doesn't mean we have some kinda psychic connection. If we could communicate the way the two of you do, we'd all beat each other up a lot less."
"No, seriously," Kon insists, face open and imploring in a way that makes Jason want to cover him with a blanket so no one else can catch him like that. "Sometimes I think he's the alien, but then I hear how he talks about you, the way all of you guys work together, and it's- it's a little cult-y, but it's also really cool? Like you guys have a secret language. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's been obsessed with you for, like, ever, so there's kind of that hero worship thing going on, and you're actually smart enough to keep up with the stuff he talks about and-"
There's something in Kon's voice that tickles the back of his brain, something between He talks about me? and 'Batclan Cult Allegations.' It sounds stretched thin and bittersweet and tense. The pieces fall together faster than he can relegate them.
"Wait a minute," he interupts. "Are you jealous? Of me?"
The idea is bizarre, absurd, unthinkable. It makes a little bird flutter around in his stomach, but he isn't sure whether that has more to do with the lovely, mysterious creature in the next room over or the goregous, good-natured creature in front of him.
Kon shrugs again, refusing to meet Jason's gaze. "Who wouldn't be?"
A warmth surges in his gut, rushing to his palms in a way that makes him want to reach out and share the heat. He puts several years of laborious therapy to use and decides to take a chance.
"And here I was, all green with envy over watching the two of you together."
And once those ethereal blue eyes lock onto his, Jason can't look away.
"Maybe if we put our heads together," he continues, hoping Kon can hear all the things he isn't saying as well, "We can parse out what the hell Tim is talking about all the time, 'cause I don't have a fuckin' clue."
The laughter that earns him sounds like bells. And when Tim walks in and asks, "What's so funny?" the two of them share a knowing look, something just between them.

I can already see how B*dude is going to happen.
I don’t know if you were ever involved in teen wolf fandom. But Stiles had a very similar fanbase like Buck. The difference is Buck has one ship with a fanbase sending out death threats and behaving terribly but Stiles has two ship - Sterek and Stydia. Both ship had batshit crazy fans. But most people with common sense knew Sterek was never happening cause Stiles was a teen and Derek was was an adult but Stydia like B*ddie always had a chance.
Very similar to Bucktommy there was a releation for a couple of seasons between Stiles and Malia that got the same treatment from both Sterek and Stydia like Buck and Tommy got from B*ddiesStiles and Malia also break up pretty abruptly.
For the final season Stiles and Lydia become a couple but the whole season was horrible. You can’t have a show with a couple and not have conflict. The whole fandom started nitpicking everything Lydia did because Stiles was their uwu baby boy. And the whole fandom was left so disappointed. They tried to satisfy them with the movie but the actor for stiles refused to be a part of it.
I can see something similar happening with B*ddie. They will happen in the final season but the moment there is a conflict people are going to turn against one of the characters. And in the end everyone is going to be left dissatisfied
while i don’t think a show that is afraid to utter the word bisexual after a season and a half of one of their main being an openly bi man would go as far as making another one of their main queer the chances aren’t 0.
i saw teen wolf ages ago but i get what u mean and this is exactly what happened to shows when they let their fanbase decide what to do cuz they’re afraid they’re gonna lose viewers. it happened to teen wolf, happened to supernatural cuz some fans wanted queer destiel and some didn’t so they gave of one side of a ship and a fucked up ending that no one was satisfied with and it’s happening to 911.
some fans wanted queer buck some wanted him only in form of buddie so they did what they did in s7 to satisfy one group and handled everything the way they did in s8 to give bddies hope again.
these choices always end up in messy situations that no one is happy with.
like now something that was a nice thing ended up in a harmful fucked situation.
i hope im making sense im so overwhelmed my english is not englishing very well lol
there is a low chance of bddie happening and bddie fans will be disappointed too!

In a turn of events surprising exactly no one among the group, it's Dustin's who starts the whole thing. He calls a formal party meeting, and an hour after the message goes out over the walkie Steve has a living room full of anxious freshman and Eddie Munson -- and him and Robin who are mostly there because the meeting had to be held at Steve's house for some reason.
Dustin's sense of dramatics have come to rival Eddie's, and he waits until they're all seated before he even bothers coming out from where he hid himself with a manilla folder under one arm and the only white sheet in Steve's house, that had definitely come from off of his parent's bed, under the other. He doesn't say a word as he throws the sheet over the entertainment center and comes back again wheeling in an overhead projector. Steve can still faintly make out O'Donnell written on the side. "I'm sure you're wondering why I've gathered you all here today," Dustin punctuated his sentence with the heavy click of the projector being switched on.
The fan doesn't drown out the screaming from the crowd.
"You made it sound like an emergency."
"How did you get that here?"
"How did you get it at all?"
"Please," Dustin interrupts, "save all questions for the end." From his manilla folder he slaps a pre-written laminate down on the light table. Projecting, enlarged for everyone to see, 'Why Lucien is secretly the big bad of the whole campaign: a presentation by Dustin Henderson."
"This is the lamest reason for petty theft ever." Eddie gripes. Clearly more upset than Henderson had actually figured the plot twist out, Steve remembers how proud of himself he'd been when he talked himself through it weeks ago.
"Did you help him do this?" Steve asks, afraid of the answer.
"Obviously not, why would I spoil my own-"
"The projector, Eddie."
"I mean barely, I was more of a getaway driver. Really, if she wanted to keep her projector she shouldn't have moved it out into the hallway so they could wax the floors. I didn't know he was going to use it for evil."
Henderson clears his throat, a disgusting phlegmy hem-hem, "If you're going to talk through the presentation, you'll be asked to leave."
The attitude on the kid, really.
It becomes a thing after that. Steve already has the projector, it's not like he can bring it back to the highschool. What would he even say, 'Sorry about the confusion, my overhead projector looks just like this one.' When there's nothing good at Family Video to rent or it's raining too hard to use the pool, they'll all go to different corners of the house with a stack of ten laminate sheets, a wet erase marker, and a vague theme. Then they come back and share what they've come up with.
The group is incapable of not instigating some kind of competition, at the end of the night they'd fight and argue over whose presentation was best. Steve participated half the time, but more often than not let himself be talked into playing referee to make sure no one's feelings got too hurt. On those nights he'd add onto Robin's. His favorite: why star trek is better than star wars (with footnotes from Steve)
It's at least twice as gay, kirk and spock are basically alien married and uhura definitely had a thing for spock's wife. All star wars has is the robots and they're barely main characters.
Steve note: Spock's half-vulcan status can be looked at the same as being bi or genderqueer, not feeling like you belong right in either half of your identity cause you aren't enough of one or the other -- Luke is just a twink with a nice wardrobe.
The Party could argue about anything, but Steve wasn't exactly surprised when the young adults got in on the fun too. The projector didn't usually come out until they were all drunk or stoned enough to admit that they had been waiting all night to make their presentations. Unlike the kids who mostly treat the games like debate team: who's the most powerful fictional character, what's the best PC class, what character from star wars would survive the Upside Down (he thought Erica's presentation: why the my little ponies could take down tiamat but wouldn't because they're too civilized, was especially inspired). The older teens treated it more like an amped up game of truth or dare, making up things that someone else in the group should have to do and encouraging the rest of the group to join in too.
They started the night off with Argyle's "Why Steve should give me his secret brownie recipe" which turned out to be mostly about how good they would taste as weed brownies and Eddie and Jon were quick to join his side.
They go around like that advocating for bad decisions like consequences don't exist, like they could be kids again. Robin thinks they should get tattoos, Steve is easily swayed. Jon proposes a road trip back to California. Nancy says they should all move to Boston with her. Eddie thinks the core four should start a band. Steve waits for his turn.
Steve has had his pages written and waiting for days. He knows exactly how long it takes his friends every time they meet to get wasted enough to give in to the temptation to wheel out his contraband projector. Once Robin is finished shouting at Eddie about how they're the only ones with any musical gifts he takes his turn.
"Why Eddie Munson should go out with me: a presentation by Steve Harrington."

I didn't get it people that say Glimmadora is a vanilla ship but ship Glimbow
I don't have anything against vanilla couples or ships, but seriously Glimbow is such a nothing ship that we should make a new slang for this called "oat ship" (cause oats have no taste). It comes out of nowhere and they don't even have a good dynamic together, they are just the troupe of best friends turned lovers and even tho i like that troupe is geting so over used that is geting boring, especially when it comes to a girl and boy friendship
Also i was cetain that Bow was gay when i watched the show, and would be good if he was cause theres like, two gay man in the show that apears twice so...yeah, lost opportunity
(If He-Man was a thing in the show i would totally ship him with Bow)
exactly! if anything, glimmadora is a lot more complex than glimbow ever was. glimmadora has interesting conflict that isn't toxic or unnecessary to the plot. they were the actual enemies to lovers ship in spop. meanwhile, all glimbow had was a petty jealousy plot in princess prom and bow being mad at glimmer in s5 (which btw made no sense because if anything, adora was the one who deserved to stay mad at glimmer. their conflict was pushed aside for some forced glimbow conflict).
oat ship is very accurate lmao glimbow always just came off as really good friends to me, and it's a pity that the writers decided to follow the heteronormative trend of having them date each other. yes, i know they're both bisexual but it just feels like an afterthought, because nate didn't want any of his characters to be straight. which is fine, but if glimmer and bow were really supposed to be a couple, the story should have hinted at it from the beginning. it's so obvious that this was a last minute decision so that catra and adora could get together.
and honestly, i think that's the only reason people ship glimbow. because it keeps glimmer out of adora's way, and they could always call us biphobic if we ever say that we don't like glimbow.
i don't mind bow being bi or gay, anything works honestly, but he deserved a relationship where he had actual chemistry with his partner. already bow was such a sidelined character who never got his own arc or had any importance in the narrative, they did him even dirtier by pairing him off with his best friend last minute.

part one / part two
Guilt.
It’s a funny thing, how cyclical it is in nature.
A snowball effect, coming to terms with the ramifications of your actions, rendering you paralyzed with anxiety. Your friendship with the two people closest to you in the immediate blast zone, your guilt, a grenade without its pin. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Trapped by circumstance.
You know you should tell Chrissy, she has a right to know. If the roles were reversed, her pure heart couldn’t take harboring such a secret from her best friend, needing to make things right. But, unfortunately for you, you are not Chrissy. Selfishly, you don’t know how you’d cope with that. It’s almost unfathomable, the image of her Bambi-eyes widening, heart breaking in front of you as you confess the truth. Why couldn’t it be a different truth? Mistakes happen, and surely she could forgive an intoxicated kiss between long-time friends, unattached and purely platonic. But the truth is, you have feelings for Eddie and he feels something for you. Something he doesn’t feel for his girlfriend, a missing piece only you can give him.
Eddie was right. This is so fucked up.
As you bypass hoards of your peers in the school hallway, you feel as though you’re running on autopilot. Keeping up appearances, despite wanting nothing more than to seclude yourself and pray that this situation never happened. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best option. And that’s exactly what you’ve elected to do today. Keep your space from the both of them, withdraw and hope they can settle whatever differences lead to last night’s events. Distance yourself, at least for the moment. Let the wounds scab over before you pick at them again.
Successfully avoiding Chrissy for the first two periods, you’re thankful you don’t share every class together. You need time to rehearse your withdrawal. And withdrawal doesn’t have to just be physical, you pray you can get away with just nodding and smiling during your inevitable conversations. Her altruistic nature means she could see through any facade, and you need time to stabilize before hard questions are thrown your way.
Eddie, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. His homeroom seat remains empty as it has countless times before, you deduce he must have skipped school today. You should feel relief. Instead, you feel a sense of longing. It’s terrible, you shouldn’t want to see him after everything. But last night, with the ebb and flow of your guilt complex, you experienced moments of clarity. A cruel irony, the sudden lack of guilt breeding more of the same. Recalling the plush lips brushing against yours, hitched breathing tickling the nerve endings of your cheeks, setting your skin alight. And then, cognisance around your apathy hits you like a freight train, a new wave of culpability causing you to double over. It’s useless denying how you feel about him now, it would barely make a dent in the whole situation.
You pass through the morning like a specter, there but not. Scribbling notes onto blank pages, hoping if you scratch hard enough it might alleviate the dread lingering in the pit of your stomach. Floating from class to class, cementing yourself to a quiet corner of the school for your morning break. Your apple tastes rotten, your muesli bar far too dry. Nothing digestible right now, it seems. Less than you desire, and more than you deserve.
Eddie remains unseen for the rest of the day, as does Chrissy. It’s not until you unlock your bike from the rack at the end of the day that you spot them. Or rather, the end of them.
Eddie’s van speeds away, leaving Chrissy in the dust, still in her cheer uniform. A striking image, something so perfect stock-still like a statue frozen in time, it doesn’t take much to deduce that what’s transpired isn’t good. Betraying legs carry you towards her before your mind can catch up.
“Chrissy?” Words escape shakily, crossing the short distance between you. She doesn’t respond. You know a shell-shocked look when you see one. Like approaching a stray dog, you tread carefully and prepare for a bark or bite.
“Chrissy-”
She spins on her heel, the white’s of her beautiful eyes red with unshed tears. Anger. Heartbreak.
“Don’t come near me.”
Your stomach lurches, an ache penetrating your core, you feel as though you could collapse in on yourself. Willing that, at this exact moment, the earth beneath you might open and swallow you whole.
“I’m sorry-“ Is all you manage to get out before Chrissy retreats, beelining for the last school bus of the day. You’re smart enough to not follow her, knowing it won’t do any good right now. Teeth grinding together, your grasp on the handlebars tighten as you mount the bike and set off in a familiar direction.
Your knuckles rap against Eddie’s trailer door with such ferocity you’re sure it could break the fragile structure. Every inch of you is shaking, blood running cold with dread. You need answers, to start the Golithian task of fixing what you’ve broken.
The door swings open to reveal Eddie, standing in sweat pants and a very worn band tee. He looks like shit.
“What did you say to her?”
“Good day to you, too.” His voice is weary, complimenting the dark circles beneath his eyes.
He always knew how to get under your skin. Shoving past him into the living room, the air is stale in the stuffy room.
“Don’t start with me. What happened?” Your tone is demanding, causing the taller boy to shrink into himself. His gaze shifts around the room, uncertainty rendering him speechless. “Eddie, what did you do?”
“I ended things. With Chrissy, after school.”
“Oh my god.” Running your hands along your flushed cheeks, you pace aimlessly around the room. “Why did you do that?”
“I just couldn't, anymore. The whole thing felt like a lie-“
“To you, it was real for her. Did you ever consider that?”
Eddie winches physically, bearing the brunt of your apathy towards him. Leaning on the kitchen bench, he needs all the support he can get right now.
“I never should have said yes to her in the first place.”
“Then why did you?!” Your emotions betray you, seeping into your words. You’ve played that day over and over in your head like a broken record, when Chrissy practically skipped towards you to announce her new Homecoming date. Relationships blindside you, rendering you incapable of seeing a world without your person. You knew things could have been messy, but never anticipated just how bad it could be. But it scared you even more to imagine a world in which everything went well.
“I don’t know.” Eddie’s reply is mumbled, running his hands through his mess of curls.
“Bullshit.”
Vulnerably, you are poking around for his truth. The silence that follows hangs thick, your gaze pressing on Eddie knowing you can crack him.
“I thought if I couldn’t have what I wanted, I’d go for the next best thing.” His words are mumbled, shameful.
“What the fuck does that mean?”
For the first time since letting you in, Eddie’s sheepish gaze meets yours. He holds it, eyes softening with a sense of pleading. Communicating so much without uttering a word. And it hits you like a bullet to the head. It’s painful, the way you want to run and hold him, and the tension you experience from keeping yourself in place. You understand what he’s saying. And you refuse to accept it. You can’t.
“No…”
“Sweetheart-“
“Eddie, don’t-“
Surprisingly, Eddie chuckles, shaking his head. “Didn’t know it was possible to care about someone so much ‘til I met you.”
The pair of you remain perfectly distanced, neither daring to move a muscle. Two stars stuck in orbit, the only force keeping you together is the fact you’ve been doing it for so long. Biting the tender flesh of your cheek as you have so many times before, it offers little relief. You’d love to say something, anything, to stop what’s about to be disclosed. But you’re numb, quietly despondent.
“Thought you’d leave sooner. I mean, here’s this girl. Pretty as hell, loads of friends, treating me like a person? Felt too good to be true. Thought the day in the library was a one-off, was sure you’d never stick around. I mean, why would you? And then you did and- I just didn’t want to fuck that up. Didn’t want to lose you, even if that meant caring about you from afar. And then Chrissy-“ He signs, pinching the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger. “- I dunno, I guess I thought I could convince myself to care about someone else. But I just- I fucking couldn’t. I tried, I really did. But, It just never felt right. It never felt like you. I always wanted you, and it fucking killed me. You don’t know what that feels like.”
Eddie’s vulnerability dries up your mouth, leaving it incapable of formulating a response. But your expression betrays you in ways you were oblivious to. Eddie studies your expression, desperate for validation. Wide-eyed like a baby cow, big and helpless. And something shifts. A quiver in your lip, an exposing softness in your glossy eyes. He sees it. Finally.
“You feel the same way, don’t you?” There’s an air of finality to his statement that sets you on edge, backing you into an emotional corner.
“No.” You lie through your teeth, and Eddie doesn’t believe a second of it. It’s vile, the way guilt transforms to pining. Undeserving.
“You do.” Eddie takes a pace towards you, and you don’t move. You don’t think you could if you tried.
“Eddie-” Voice barely a whisper, Eddie closes the gap between the pair of you. Running a hand through your scalp, you can’t help but melt into his touch, electricity coursing through his fingertips. It’s embarrassing, really. The effect his touch has on you, rendering you drunk, right there for him to bear witness to. Wrapping you in his musky scent, the marriage of cigarette smoke and cologne. Deliciously Eddie. There’s no use lying, not now. Fingertips trace their way along the frame of your face, snaking around the crook of your jawline. It’s heavenly. Lips ghosting above yours, breath intermingling as a sigh betrays you, causing Eddie’s grip on your jawline to tighten slightly.
“Tell me you don’t want it, and I’ll stop.” His tone is firm yet sincere, the trust between you palpable. No inebriation to scapegoat your actions now, the burden of blame is purely on you. You say nothing. And your silence is a response in itself.
Agonizingly slowly, Eddie lowers his lips to yours. A suggestion of skin on skin, so many unseized moments to back out, to stop. But every fiber of your being, every screaming nerve ending on your sensitive lips, cries out for more. Muscles soften at his touch, sinking into him. His lips catch you, warm and soft, finding yours with tenderness. It’s different, without the haze of a high numbing your senses. You feel him fully. The brush of his hair, curls falling around your face, tickling receptive skin. How his exhale feels like a caress, nose bumping against yours as his lips embrace yours. The expertly subtle flick of his tongue exploring your parted mouth, an invitation of more. But what buckles you, causes a coil to tighten in your belly, is the groan. Subconsciously emitted from deep in his throat, an unintentional byproduct of mutual wanting. Laced with hunger. Relief. The sweetest sound you’ve ever heard.
And you know, right then, you need to stop. The temptation is beckoning, Eddie’s grip providing much needed comfort, solace between his lips. You could stay there eternally. Which is precisely the problem.
Before a moan can expose your neediness, you find the courage to mutter the only word flooding your mind.
“Eddie.”
He breaks away, lips feeling suddenly entirely too empty, buzzing from his touch. He sighs, holding the minute distance between the pair of you.
“I know. You can’t have it all.”
As if to keep him locked in place, your hand wraps around his, relishing in the cool sensation and grooves of his rings.
“Just- let me try to fix things with Chrissy first. She deserves that.”
Eddie nods, forehead pressed to yours. In another universe, the two of you could remain there, witnessing each other for an eternity. But you need to try to make things right, regardless of whether your guilt is absolved.
“Sure. You know where to find me.”

Buck didn't want Eddie to know he was on a date with a guy, not because he was scared Eddie was homophobic, but because he doesn't want Eddie to figure out what he's slowly coming to terms with.
That the way he feels about him isn't entirely platonic.
Until he talks with Maddie and then
THEN
he tells Eddie he was on a date with a guy, but exactly after that he tells him, "OH, and by the way!!!!! Got dumped!!! I'm single!!!!!!"
Buck is fully testing the waters. He's trying to suss Eddie out. He's literally squinting looking at him trying to pry anything out from his expressions. Trying to understand if what he feels and what he's starting to see their relationship was, is all him or if Eddie's also been in denial like he was.
And then Eddie hits him with the "this doesn't change a thing between us" and he looks DEVASTATED. He says I'm relieved in the most unconvincing tone. He looks miserable.
But it's not like the status quo of them has changed all that much. It's not like he said anything directly or confessed anything. So he pulls back swiftly and goes straight to tommy. And goes for him hard core. I mean he invites him on a second date to his sister's wedding!
Oh plus, my personal theory not backed by evidence, when he said "i kinda can't stop thinking about him" he was still gauging for Eddie's reaction. He just got fuckall. Cause Eddie gay panicked, looked sad for a second, sighed and then slid into friend mode with all his fucking might.
I mean hopefully Buck has recontextualised their relationship and he's not the only one pulling some gay shit. Cause if he's discovering himself, realising starring at dudes' asses was gay, then he sure as fuck has been rethinking some of their greatest hits.
So I think Buck fully knows he's into Eddie at the very least. Probably he's repressing hard core cause his half assed attempt lead nowhere. And he for sure has doubts about Eddie but probably tries not to think about it at all cause then that would destroy his repression.
Otherwise so many things make absolutely no sense, like:
- Why he was hesitant to tell specifically Eddie, even though he casually announced it to literally everyone else who is important in his life.
- His reaction to maddie saying if there's something, SOMETHING, never specified if it was about his sexuality, something he needed to tell eddie he would in his own time. To which Buck gives the most hopeful, giddy and stressed sigh. (Full on highschool crush behaviour, as he did the whole entire prior episode)
- His disappointed reaction to "this doesn't change a thing between us". Like if all he wanted to tell Eddie was that he's bi, that would have been a moment of elation. But nope.
- Him saying "i kinda can't stop thinking about him" with a shit eating grin.
- Him looking at Eddie leaving exactly the same way he looked at Tommy after he was kissed out of the closet.

Rant about all the Bi-Buck Arc hate surfacing.
Made the mistake of scrolling through comments on Instagram surrounding 911 and the cast.
I need to blow off steam, so this is gonna probably start harsh.
While there was so much heartfelt appreciation for Buck's storyline, the negative comments kept stealing my attention. I'm so tired of hearing(reading) that people think the whole show is ruined because two grown men kissed. Like, get the fuck over yourselves already. You don't agree with the relationship, you're just gonna have to deal with it the same we've dealt with Buck and Eddie's half-assed, flat, forced heterosexual relationships for the last 7 years, okay?
They all want to justify their biphobia/homophobia by saying that it's "forced" or it "doesn't make sense," or that they "never saw Buck even hint at it and it's just pandering to fans." Like, bitch, welcome to real life. If you're a real fan of this show, and you watched from the beginning, you know Athena and Michael's marriage ended first thing when he came out as gay. A muscular, "straight", black guy with a wife and two kids who'd been in the closet/denial his whole life, came out to his family, and none of them saw it coming, even if they might have suspected "deep down". This shit happens every day, okay? They're all mad cause "if he was gonna be gay, they should have made him gay from the beginning". Why? So you could form your opinion of him based on who he's attracted to? Why does this bother you so much. You were okay with it when it was Michael and Hen cause you knew from the beginning and they were your token gay characters that you've just learned to "put up with" to appease the rainbow crowd.
And it's not even the ones who are just straight up, like "it's wrong"/"it's a sin"/"it's gross", etc. that bother me the most. It's the "I don't care, you do you, but don't shove it down my throat", people that make me mad. Why is simply witnessing a queer person or relationship "shoving it down your throat"? Y'all realize they exist in real life too, right? Like, personally, I have family, friends, co-workers, bosses, who are all apart of the lgbtq+ community, and I'm from a smaller suburban/rural area of Ohio. Those are just the people in my life who are out. Why is seeing them represented in modern media so bad? This isn't covid, it's not fucking contagious. If it was your brother, your cousin, your best friend, would it be okay then? Both of my brothers have only ever dated women, but if one of them came out and said "hey, I think I might like guys too," I'm not gonna throw a fucking fit and invalidate them by telling them it's not possible because they've only ever dated women. No, I'll thank them for trusting me, and gush to them about boys because I never had a sister to do that with.
Every time I read those comments, all I can think is, you just proved that you're not a safe person to be trusted if someone in your life wants to come out.
Just, how do you give up on an entire show after one kiss? And then claim that you don't have a problem with it? You can't have it both ways. If it didn't matter to you, you wouldn't react so strongly and so negatively to it. 911 and ABC's intention isn't to question your sexuality. You don't have to worry that you're suddenly going to have to kiss Buck too, okay? Chill.
The whole "Buck has only ever slept with women" and "suddenly he's gay" responses are exactly why this storyline is so important. So many people to this day refuse to acknowledge sexualities outside of straight and gay. Why is it always, "made gay"? It doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both, or neither.
I say this with the experience of having a mom who's still in the "I don't care as long as I don't have to see it" camp. If seeing it upsets you, you've got a problem. If it really doesn't matter and you're cool letting everyone be themselves, seeing two men together should be just as accepted as a man and a women together. Unless you're also saying we need to stop portraying men and women in romantic, sexual relationships together with kissing scenes or more graphic ones, then you can't rule with a double standard. Me and my mom loved watching Teen Wolf together, but any time there was a scene with Danny kissing another guy, she'd get uncomfortable. She even told me once, that she didn't think they should show scenes like that but she wasn't sure why when watching het couples together didn't make her feel the same way.
Safe, sane, and consensual. As long as they follow that, and are happy, why can't you just be happy for them?
If you're old enough to have been following along with this show, you're old enough to know that everyone is different. And life as an adult is about opening yourself up to the outside world and learning about what makes people different. From race to religion to sexuality to nationality and beyond. Your views, beliefs, ideologies, etc, are not the only ones that matter. Getting and giving acceptance goes hand in hand.
I get it to a certain extent. Coming from a different time and all that, but it just means you've had more time to learn. Being stubborn and holding onto what you were brought up in doesn't mean a whole lot to me if you refuse to open your mind up as an adult to look beyond yourself.
Okay, I'm done now. That felt chaotic, but I feel better. If you've made it this far, thanks for coming to my TED talk☺️

its june so i wanna share my lgbtq+ headcanons for ffvii characters just for fun, starting with the main playable cast:
(except they’re hcs by an obnoxiously trans gay person that projects onto their faves at all times, spoiler alert: they’re all trans and gay)
- cloud: he/him gay trans man - starting off strong with a gay trans guy (i warned that i would be projecting a lot with my hcs in this post) … but i’ve noticed a lot of other people hc/portray him as a trans man too so i know i’m not alone on this one! i cant explain exactly why i hc like this but i just do, probably cause i like him
- tifa: she/they transfem lesbian - i cannot be convinced that she doesn’t like women considering how she is with aerith and jessie tbh, and i like her so i’ve lovingly hit her with the transgender-inator beam out of love
- aerith: realistically- they/them nonbinary lesbian - i have no basis for this tbh except it just seems right to me! as for my actual hc for her (which is a pure projection, pls bear with me) - he/they gay transman - this is purely my own projection because aerith is really like stereotypically feminine(?) in ways that i am also feminine, so it comforts me to think of her like me if that makes sense
- barret: he/him but willing to test out she/her, unlabeled gender that is not quite cis but he’s only now exploring it and hasn’t quite figured it out yet, bi-curious and experimenting - thats so long but i’m not sure how else to describe it, i feel like he grew up all “traditional” and stuff, and then being a single adoptive dad and being a huge part of avalanche, he probably hasn’t had the time to really think about any of it too much or explore his gender/sexuality, but now he can with being surrounded with others that can help him explore, realize it’s alright to be uncishet, and help him learn about these things
- cid: okay i’m not gonna lie, canon wise he gives me major homophobe vibes (maybe its the raging misogyny that makes me think he’s bigoted in every other way…) but ignoring that he/she nonbinary bi - definitely exploring a lot and isn’t quite set in stone about what he is yet but he just knows he’s not cis or het and with those being more broad and spectrum like labels, he feels most comfortable with those over anything else, and he feels like they’re just right for him
- vincent: he/they transmasc gay - i’ll be honest this is also projection on my part because i love vincent a lot and want him to be like me! also he gives me major gender envy…
- reeve (in place of cait sith): he/him transman and gay - again, i just love him a lot tbh, and i feel like he is the kind of guy that knew who he was from a young age and tried to help out other people that are trying to navigate their queer journeys and find out who they are, i feel like reeve would be a major inspiration and advocate for the queer youth
- yuffie: they/them demigirl lesbian and arospec - she’s definitely still figuring herself out but she has very little interest in pursuing romance, but any relationship she can imagine wanting in her future is with another girl
#this post is genuinely just for fun!!! i respect all hcs and i know mine aren’t perfect or canon or anything!#most of these are either projections of my own identity or things that just kinda come to my mind when i think of the characters#i know sometimes lgbtq+ hcs can be controversial and i don’t want to create any kind of drama or anything i promise!!!#i just wanted to share my personal thoughts and takes on them! i understand if others disagree and i dont mind one bit! everyones different#a lot of them just kind of come to me as a vague feeling if that makes sense? like its the first thing that pops into mind yknow?#pls dont take any of these too seriously!#happy pride month!#i’ll probably post other characters hcs soon! :)#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy 7#cloud strife#tifa lockhart#aerith gainsborough#barret wallace#cid highwind#vincent valentine#reeve tuesti#yuffie kisaragi#minus red cause i don’t wanna risk anyone thinking im likening anyone in the community to an animal#lgbtq+ headcanons

Ok so, the new episode has evoked multiple trains of thought in my head and although they all are related to the buck/tommy/eddie situation, i think it makes sense to put them down in several categories here:
Overall feel of the show at abc: i'm gonna say that the show definitely feels a bit unsettled after the network change, they seem to have a hard time balancing personal relationship plots and actual firefighter stuff. I know a lot of the cases in previous seasons were silly but they were still believable. The whole cruise disaster thing was just so over the top and now in the last 2 episodes there has been next to no action. The promo for next week's episode looks kinda like absolute mayhem. I do believe the abc team will figure this out and that they just need a little time to get comfortable but it's defo noticeable.
Buck's character: completely removed from his new romantic relationship, i am soooo loving his coming out arc. They've shown 2 amazing coming out scenes and one (and a half) dates and yet the word bisexual didn't even need to be said!!! It just makes sense as a story on its own!! It feels so natural and buck seems so so happy and in love and settled and has gobsmacking chemistry with tommy. I love that we get to watch him make mistakes and get things right while figuring himself out, it just feels so close to real life and i think the writers (and actors) are doing a fantastic job here.
Tommy's character: OBSESSED WITH HIM. HE'S SO FUNNY. And i think he's an excellent first male love interest for buck because he doesn't beat around the bush. He's comfortable in his own skin and is very aware that he doesn't have to give that up for buck despite crushing on him hardcore. I love that he gives buck the space to make mistakes and come to terms with his bi-ness, but not at the expense of himself. He is a great mature influence on buck and i think will eventually help him to become confident in his sexuality in a way buck may have taken way longer to do on his own. Which leads me to ...
The buck/tommy relationship: this is where things start to get complicated. My head says "let's microanalyse every scene in regards to buddie" but my heart says "enjoy how fucking cute buck and tommy are being on screen right now". I DON'T WANT THEM TO BREAK UP. AT ALL. THEY ARE CRAZY ABOUT EACH OTHER. WHIPPED, IN FACT!!! I do think buck/tommy isn't "endgame" per se but i do think they fit so well together, they should be given the opportunity to last a little while at least. Buck needs someone like tommy now who will hold him accountable while being entirely sympathetic. It's a great dynamic that i would be very sad to see go (and so would buck i think because i have never seen heart eyes that intense on that man before....)
Buck/eddie: look. I can't unsee it, just like everybody else. Doesn't matter how cute tommy and buck are, i hold my breath whenever buck and eddie share a scene now. There's some weird shit happening there. I think the writers have been very clever with the latest episode because it leaves buck and eddie on good terms without insinuating what exactly comes next. Buck is completely focused on tommy right now (which is good!) and eddie has his own stuff going on, so a rushed buddie arc would make zero sense right now. As a lot of people have already said, buddie is very much a long-haul game and while we can start to see seeds at this point, i'd hate to rush into it. Cause the slow burn is part of the fun right :D right ????
Eddie: eddie. My silly goose. I love what they're doing with him this season. He seems so much more able to let loose and enjoy himself. He's getting sillier and i love that for him. He also seems to have headspace for new things now.... such as recognising that he's limited by catholic guilt..... which is the number one symptom of being into hot godly women.... right ... right..... I'd probably kill a man to quiz the writers on how they came up with the concept of eddie/tommy. Because that means they've thought about how gay eddie would make sense. They will have discussed his motivations and experiences over the last few seasons and recontextualised them. And mould them into the life of a closeted gay man. Gnawing. Clawing, even.
Conclusion: buck/tommy slay. Hate to see them go. Would love to see eddie be gay and get his own independent coming out arc just like buck did. Want them to be gay buddies for a while. And then see what that makes of the situation.....

the whole "it's a TV show" theory makes some sense to me, but only if they've been in a TV show since just before the bi-regeneration. my idea going forward is this:
at some point during the Giggle, it turns into a TV show because the One Who Waits changes reality. the bi-regeneration signals this (the doctor says that he himself thought it was a myth, aka, a fiction). what i think happened in reality is that the doctor didn't bi-regenerate, he just regenerated into Ncuti normally, but then the One Who Waits usurped the regular reality with a television reality.
the devil's chord has the most obvious collection of hints, which i think you've seen posts of, so i wont mention that. but what i do want to discuss is the weirdness surrounding the master.
there has been a master reference (even if subtle) in nearly every single episode so far. ncuti's doctor isn't exactly hesitant to talk about his trauma, a big difference from thirteen, so it makes sense why we all assume that his constant references to things involving the master but never saying anything actually ABOUT the master are just him avoiding his emotions or talking things out like thirteen does. but what if that isn't the case?
what if he does genuinely think that this Mad Jack dude is actually the worst prime minister ever? because the one who waits has removed his memories of the master?
the last time the doctor heard about the master was when he was still Fourteen, before the bi-regeneration.
i think that the series is going to progress and it will reveal that ruby is the child of the one who waits, and despite being in a tv show, she's uncovering her powers and slowly breaking the illusion (the snow would symbol her slow unconscious attempts to break the illusion).
in the last two episodes, or last one, (it depends on the time of the episodes but i hope its either longer or a two-episode finale), i think that ruby will make it snow again and somehow something will remind the doctor of the master. and then he'll be like...why am i forgetting something? i know i'm forgetting something. and then he tries to find out what he's forgetting which ends up causing the illusion to be broken and the doctor and ruby to finally face the One Who Waits.
(also, this theory doesn't necessarily mean that everything is fake in this TV reality, more that its all "scripted" and puppeteered by the One Who Waits, including the doctor's thoughts.)
"what if he does genuinely think that this Mad Jack dude is actually the worst prime minister ever? because the one who waits has removed his memories of the master?"
Can't tell you how on-board I'd be with this. It'd give we the lil Thoscheis some solace about the cavalier denial that he exists even when the subject of his existence and impact (good OR bad) is loudly disregarded (when he lists titles Time Lords take on, when he discusses the tragic end of his civilization and uses the passive tense so we can't even tell WHICH TIME he means--"there WAS a genocide"--when he is drawn in under a few hours to spend his lifetime with someone with whom his dynamic is loudly Thoschei-coded, without pausing to think of how and why their chemistry might be so immediately familiar..and so on).
I don't have quite enough faith in almost any writing staff of almost any major-franchise show anymore to believe completely that the Doctor's out-of-character (and sometimes in-character, clothed in different forms of maladaptive coping) behavior, the centering of Ruby's development over his (don't deny it, folks, she's SO much more fleshed-out than he is and it's become a frustrating impediment to the narrative), the way that their bonding and "best friendship" (when? How????) happens so much "off-screen" that it feels rushed and abrupt......are all intentional, because the overarching villain is intentionally warping events like a terrible script-writer.
IF that's the case, it's a very fun metaphysical way to approach the newest season of the show (maybe a bit of an easy copout one???? but still interesting and clever), and I'll be deeply relieved to know I wasn't the only one who couldn't quite vibe with Fifteen yet, despite REALLY wanting to (I love Ncuti Gatwa's work on Sex Education and I was SO excited that he was cast), and that a whole bunch of diehard fans have been creating intelligent theories like this one to explain the Offness they've felt about the show since the Toymaker's exit during final Christmas special.
To clarify, Ive liked MANY things about Fifteen's run, even if the Offness we're feeling has no explanation except "different writing and directing and characterization than the show has had before." My hesitation isn't that it's all trash. It's that I can't tell intentional distortion from weaknesses that needed more workshopping before the final cut. And I don't know that I'm qualified to tell. I'm mostly here for the Master, and the Spymaster in particular.
But thanks for sharing this. It's been truly comforting to consider <3

Disney has been trying to make it clear they support LGBTQ for quite a while now, just like any other brand because they want to be “on the right side”. While that doesn’t mean that any time a brand publicly supports the cause I believe them, this regurgitated theory of celebrities staying in the closed because it would affect their career is plain bs. It’s 2024. If anything, brands would try to monetize having a queer celebrity under their name. And how exactly is Disney okay with him being bi and not gay, and that’s why he pretends? The same man who said he can’t pretend, can’t hide and he doesn’t want to do that? He said it in many interviews, for example when he said he likes that he reached this level of success later in life because he won’t fall into these traps of being someone he’s not. And it’s pretty clear he doesn’t hide his queerness, he’s just being himself and we observe things. I’m so tired of all these know it all, coming up with all these theories that literally don’t make any sense. I wish common sense was a quality every human possesses. Glad I’m not on twitter anymore, they used to annoy me and I would fight them but I realized it’s wasted energy
Bro, you know who was doing that on Twitter yesterday, Nicole herself or one of her couple of friends (I didn’t even go see it because it’s a lot of stupidity) and you know she is not the smartest. Like I said, he has been pretending at least since 2009 to like all genders because he had a crystal ball and knew he would work for Disney 10 years later? Lol 😂 Let’s just invalidate one side of what he shows us. Way easier! 🤣

Ruin theory: this is just me purely talking about what I think ruins gameplay will be like compared to security breach
from what we've seen so far it seems to me like ruin will be more linear than security breach. in security breach, of course it's just a fundamental problem with the game, but that's not the only reason that you get lost a lot exploring the huge mall and not really knowing where to go.
you have so much freedom and space to run around. you can literally go anywhere
but I think ruin will be different. think like, resident evil 4, where you aren't exactly trapped, but to progress the game you have to go forward in a straight ahead path, and you can go back if you WANT... but to actually get to the next part of the game you have to leave an area.
just looking at the animations in the trailer, it looks like there will be a lot more cutscenes and scripted animations in the game. like roxy grabbing cassies arm, cassie jumping into gator golf, etc
so that makes me think with more cutscenes/animations to trigger, the more areas WITH a trigger there will be, and they will be in a linear path
next is to find your way around. with a linear path in the game, you would need a guide to tell you what's going on, what your next goal is, and where to head. my theory is that itll be Gregory, since they're already removing so much of the safety nets in ruin, I doubt you'll have an animatronic companion. the tradeoff is no companion that makes you immune to danger, but theres more places to hide and duck under/beneath AND a scarier/more challenging game
the only thing we know is that A goal, maybe not THE goal throughout the game is to find Gregory, so this means he wouldnt be with us. we've seen cassie talking to Gregory on the walkie in the trailer, so I assume they've had to have had that way to contact eachother for the entire time, especially because Gregory had to contact cassie to get her to come in the first place
so THAT would mean Gregory is your guide. let's say the first goal is just to search for him, even if we dont end up finding him that early, and he tells you where to go and what to do to reach him.
gregory is literally the cause of everything and he would know plenty about the layout of the Plex and how to dodge the animatronics after doing exactly that for a full night and on top of that being trapped there in some way shape or form for that long, so it makes tons of sense for him to be the guide, especially if more dialogue with him means more backstory/lore revealed
next is boss fights, like for example maybe theres one before the conveyer belt with chica or after? if theres a boss fight, I'm assuming it will have a much larger area to roam around, it would be a stark contrast to the tight collapsed areas of the pizzaplex that we'll be traversing through in ruin, whether it be at the sinkhole, underground, in the digital plane, or somewhere else entirely
this game is probably going to be a lot harder than security breach. like the entire formula would have been tipped over on its head, like itll be the opposite of the base game. so it would be like security breach was practice for ruin, and ruin is practice for its huge boss fight.
I wouldnt be surpised if this is the game where glitchtrap is killed. like for good. a boss fight with glitchtrap when hes had all that time to grow stronger, possibly fusing with the blob maybe or just being seemingly untouchable because hes purely digital would be a challenge no matter what. I'm guessing difficult gameplay with either straight up attacking him or completing minigames to weaken him, and the grand finale is burning the place down.
nothing like security breaches boss fight when it's literally fully dodging and pressing buttons, I'm talking like, in real time glitchtrap is attacking you directly, and you have to avoid his attacks and deal one of your own in one way shape or form, until hes weakened. once again, I'm thinking like resident evil or splatoon with it's big arenas
anyways thoughts are racing through my mind rn bc its TWO DAYS before ruin!!! 2!!! one day until the day before!!! I'm absolutely dying rn so I thought these ideas for what ruin could be like could be interesting. I could be completely wrong and not know what I'm talking about but who knows
