Idk if anyone is interested in my thoughts or creative process, but here's a very long text about what I was thinking while drawing this.

Note: If you check the comments section, you will see the same text, but I think more people will like what I wrote (hopefully)

In the canon universe, Kunikida uses a red ribbon while in the beast, he uses a blue ribbon. According to Harukawa, this reflects the Azure Messenger incident. Canon Kuni is traumatized and can't stand that color, while Beast Kuni probably solved that case (with Odasaku) without major problems (or traumas), so it's okay for him to use a blue tie.

About Dazai. In the canon I think he cannot stand the black color since that reminds him of all the crimes he committed but the red color can be applied here bc he clearly hates Mori and what color does Mori wear besides black? Yes, red. Dazai's design doesn't have any of those colors, but what color does it have? Yes, blue (I mean, it's turquoise, but most of the official art is a shade of blue). In Beast, this Dazai (that has Canon Dazai's memories) is the PM boss, so he has to wear like Mori.

My point is that Kunikida is traumatized by the blue color and Dazai is traumatized by the red color.

That's why in the first panel, Kunikida and Dazai stare at each other and don't use the color they hate. Both have traumas to heal, but more importantly, both have each other (and the agency).

In the second panel, they use the color they hate, but only Beastzai hates that color. That's also why only Dazai looks at Kunikida because he knows him, remembers him, and probably misses him. However, beast Kunikida doesn't know Beastzai, not in the same way that Canon Kuni knows Canon Dazai, so kuni will never look at this Dazai. I'm almost sure that Beast Kuni only sees the PM boss as an enemy.

Val Throughout the Years

A walk down the memory lane featuring my MC—Valentine Black— and her growth as an individual during her Squib days to the pink haired rebel we know today!

Valentine Esther Black, commonly known as Val, is the daughter of Sirius Black I and Daphne Black (née Yaxley). And yes, this makes her the niece of the headmaster, Phineas Nigellus Black, who later took her under his care shortly after her parents' untimely end.

Personality-wise, Val is an ENFP, which means that she's creative, charming, adaptable, and has excellent people skills. However, the downside of her positive traits eventually showed itself the more she spent time with her new family. At a young age, Val learned how to be sneaky, deceptive, manipulative, and a masterful people-pleaser; the young girl felt the need to resort to these following traits in hopes to gain approval, validation, and most importantly, to survive.

With that being said, let me walk you through the years as Val grows into the confident and self-assured young woman she is today!

↓

The Masterful People-Pleaser

Did I mention that she was a masterful people-pleaser?

Well, this Val in particular, was at her peak "I need to gain their approval or I'm useless" stage. This part of her life is what she calls now the "most exhausting and pitiful days" of her life. From the way she dresses to how she acts. The constant need to overly accommodate others even if it means to fully ignore her own needs, thinking that this is the only way for her to be worthy and loved.

The mask that she felt the need to wear every day and the role she was exceptionally playing, became almost pointless once she was almost disowned for not receiving the Hogwarts acceptance letter at the age of eleven. But thanks to her brilliance and her guardians' *coughs* hidden motives, Val was sent to a Muggle boarding school instead, which would add further damage to her already ✨sparkling traumatized character✨

↓

The Broken Yet Hopeful

Now here's Val during her time at the muggle boarding school called the Wycombe Abbey which is located at the top of a mountain. And yes, it's more eerie than peaceful there.

Despite feeling like a failure, this kid is still hopeful that she can prove to her 'family' that she's worth it and that adopting her isn't a mistake. This is the part of Val's life where she becomes overly competitive and too self-critical. However, even if she was overly competitive at that time, her methods were still leaning on the good side. After all, Val can get really creative and resourceful when she sets her mind on what she wants.

↓

The Fading Ray of Light

During her time at the muggle boarding school, Val also met her first best friend, Astrid Netherton, who was the first person to ever let her be herself without being judged, and vice versa. Val learned a lot from Astrid and they became each other's refuge and protectors as they navigated together the complexities of adolescence, societal expectations, peer pressure, and more!

Their friendship was very loving and healing, but time wasn't kind to them both. One day, Val found out that Astrid had entered a new realm, by her own will, most likely where her late parents reside now as well.

Her best friend's sudden passing left Val in a depressive void for years. What was once left that helped Val hold herself together has also lost their way. So the next few years of Val's life were what she calls now "the darkest days of my life".

↓

The One Who Lost Their Way

This is the part in her life where she lost herself and basically, everything that gives life meaning to her. Val was living in a colorless and "everything's pointless" autopilot here.

She would be crying every night when everyone was asleep. Val was so lonely that the only friend she considered was the Moon. At this time, she would also spend her holidays at school since her 'family' doesn't want her to be at their house.

Little did she know that she was a disaster away from being freed to that place. One day in 1890, Val accidentally set her dorm on fire after having a physical fight with her dorm mates after they disrespected the memory of Astrid. At that time, Val didn't know that she was the cause of the fire since she already accepted that she would never be able to wield magic even if she wanted to.

Val was sent back to London after she recovered from the incident, not that she was expelled, but because her Aunt Ursula requested that she return there immediately.

↓

The Almost Forgotten Reflection

During her long carriage ride back to London, Val felt like she wasted all of her chances to prove herself. She has no idea how she would face her uncle and aunt. To add on, she doesn't know how she would explain to them that her original features have returned.

[Additional note: Val was born with pink hair and pink eyes, hence why her name is Valentine. However, shortly after witnessing her parents' passing, her unprocessed grief and trauma as a child manifested into physical form, changing her appearance to green eyes and black hair.]

Long story short, when Val arrived in London, instead of being welcomed by the usual cold scrutiny, she was surprised that her long-awaited letter was being handed to her.

↓

The Eccentric Rebel

As Professor Fig mentored Val to be better prepared for her new school, she knew that in order to succeed in this endeavour, a few changes are necessary. She got rid of everything that's been holding her back all these years, especially the need for validation.

This is where she decided to be less of what's expected of her and more of who she really is. Naturally, she's more than aware that it's not an overnight thing, but a step forward is a step forward no matter how small it might be.

However, there was an overnight thing that occurred 😆 because during the night before her carriage ride to Hogwarts, Val being Val impulsively cut her short as a physical reminder that she does not need to fit a certain mould to feel worthy of love. In this new chapter of her life, she started to apply her "I rather be liked by a few for being the real me, than be loved by everyone for being someone else" mindset.

Fast forward to her days at Hogwarts, Val successfully stayed true to her beliefs and values while constantly breaking the stereotypes that her peers initially placed on her. Not only that she's nothing like her uncle or how one would expect a Black would behave, but she's the complete opposite of everything that her lineage stands for.

Val is the kind of person who looks cold outside, but once you talk to her, all that icy exterior is instantly thawed by her warm and sometimes playfully sarcastic personality. She's sweet and kind but never mistook it as her weakness for she knows when to draw the line and be direct but respectful about it. After all, Val's learning to balance her strengths and weaknesses during this time so it's definitely not a good idea to mess with her XD

Still, Val has a golden heart and is always willing to help others whenever she can. It's something she's working through as she slowly teaches herself that taking care of herself first would be more beneficial for everyone: better health = better help she can give.

All in all, my favourite part about this Val is her realization that—perfection is caging while being yourself is freeing. Of course, it isn't always easy, but it's fulfilling and worthwhile.

There's definitely more of this in the future so watch out! 😌🔥

사랑을 공부해 oh-oh Meet KOZ' campus couples

Pairing: bnd legal line x reader

Genre: fluff, college au!, established relationship in sungho, riwoo, and leehans – stranger 2 lovers in taesan's - friends in love in myung jae's

Warning: mention of marriage in sungho's, people being weird in everyone's but myungjae's

Jaehyun

you guys aren't dating

but the feelings are there

and it's mutal too

yall are just cowards! (lovingly)

but everybody believes that you & jae are dating

and you guys arent exactly fighting the rumors

the two of you are very affecionate friends

often holding hands in public

jaehyun is always exicted to see you

it does not matter if yall saw each other 5 minutes ago

he's calling out your name

picking you up in a big hug

i see why people think you're dating..

plus if someone dares to ask

then you guys just turn into blushing messes

fighting back a grin at the thought

or giggling before asking if people really think that

so you don't even answer the question tbh

pls im begging yall to confess!

put everyone around you out of their misery!!

Sungho

you guys are dating

everybody who attends KOZ knows the two of you

and with that: they all know you're a couple

tbh you guys are very well-loved by the campus

lowkey there's a fanclub for you guys

actually it's more of an y/nsungho defense club

keeping "home-wreckers" away from y'all

letting them know you're in a relationship

which would be inevitably be mentioned anyways

because y'all are in love

without being obnoxious about it though

and you guys love to talk about one another to new people

y'all are a very friendly couple

plus both of you are involved with the campus

sungho peforms at multiple school events

and you're apart of the college committee

yall are the couple that people envy

there's high expectations of you two getting married

Riwoo

tbh y'all are confused

yes, you're dating

but because you guys are introverts

you don't talk to anyone outside of your friend group

it all started from the school page / social media

or if you watch queer love dramas

kind of like the cute boy pages in them

someone kept catching y'all in the background of photos

people started to notice

and they went insane over the two of you

sure the camera never captured your faces

but that wasn't the point to the people

it was how y'all were always matching!

sometimes it would be matching outfits

and if not then y'all's matching keychains/items

no one knows your faces though

which means no one really recognizes you guys on the campus

so there's a semi-sense of privacy

Taesan

let me start this off by saying

yall are not dating!

and more importantly

you guys dont even know each other

i'd go as far as to say that neither of you know the other's names

so in reality: its more of an popular campus ship rather campus couple

your friends' #1 theory is that its because you're both somewhat emo

being an cc(?) is how yall meet

expect it quickly turns to private meetings

because people get weird about the two of you being in public together

getting to know him

you think taesan is kind of charming

he wins you over in this secret meet-ups

and vice versa

maybe this little ship isn't as bad as you orginially thought

heck you got an boyfriend out of it

peers go insane at the "official annoucement"

which is just some photo or story of the two of you from some friend's social

because we all know that yall have private accounts

Leehan

im not sure how yall became an campus couple

while you guys do know each other

you dont go to the same school ㅠㅠ

plus no one (outside of your frined group) is even sure if you're actually dating each other

i fully believe neither of you post on social media

and your friends are just as goofy

because they wont confirm or deny

it makes it so hard to fact check

so let me clarify first

you guys grew up as childhood friends

but recently started dating

and you guys are so cute~

you know those long distance bracelets

best believe y'all have those

the vibrations from leehan pressing it lowkey makes your wrist twitch

hopefully for you, you don't have it placed on your dominant hand

you have an set time to video call every night

it's well known thing by kind of everyone

so much so they schedule events around it

plus despite not attending the same school

yall often meet up with each other (best as you can)

with some of sort of gift in hand

and long weekends spent in each others dorm

no studying is getting done when y'all are together

as devastating as it is

you guys can not see each other during exam weeks

KNUCKLES SERIES APPRECIATION POST

I like making these posts specifically about things that I think go underappreciated in the movieverse. Now I really had fun with the knuckles series and think that's the general consensus now after some time in that yeah it wasn't what some expected and rightfully if you didn't like it that's fine. So with this, I wanna highlight what my favorite part of the Knuckles series was, and it was Knuckles arc in trusting people again and learning to relax.

Like right off the bat, Knuckles doesn't trust anyone or anything that isn't the Wachowski family (which is his tribe now), so it's no surprise he takes things a little too far in protecting the home which gets him grounded making him realize what he's even doing there if he can't do what he's always done and that's always be ready for a fight. Pachacamac, when he's called upon by Knuckles, takes this opportunity to get Knuckles to relax now and honestly by random (first guy he sees on the newspaper) gets Knuckles to take Wade on as an apprentice. Through Wade and Knuckles interactions, we see one of my favorite things about Knuckles, and that's his willingness to empathize, especially when he hears about Wades dad. It's something we saw before in Sonic 2 when Sonic almost got through to Knuckles with just being honest about how they both lost their home that day with the attack.

Honestly I'll just post the scene that just sums up one of Knuckles best characteristic:

I think it's important to note that Knuckles has trusted people in his past but whenever he did he got hurt, but more importantly if anytime someone offered help towards him in finding the emerald he'll be distant yes but he again would trust them. He even starts to lighten up here with Wade. At Wades childhood home, Knuckles gets introduced to more fun stuff like music and TV (I'm jealous of Wades room, no lie) and introduced to a separated family it gives good insight for Knuckles on how different families operate and how they can still come back together. At the casino, we meet Wades *cough* "father," and this highlights the series lesson in trust. Wade was so willing to hear his dad out, but he betrays them and the family for his title and doesn't feel bad about it at all. Luckily, unlike his father, Wade has already stated he would never betray a friend, and when they think Wade goes through with the agents' plans, SUPRISE Knuckles heard everything through air pods. It seems everything is going okay, but the Buyer shows up the last second and almost takes out Knuckles by draining his chaos energy, but Wade comes in to protect his friend, and through Wades speech, Knuckles finally realizes he does have a home, that he can trust again, that there are people like Wade who truly say that he is his friend.

[delicateperspective]

Ok, since we have now been called out for our lack of observation by An Observer (damnit, H were trying here), I guess I should update this post before the 28th (Day 20) post. The fandom has been busy and fed these past few days (for an inactive fandom with no new music or promo cycles HOW is it this crazy), I've just been running ragged trying to catch up. But LETS DO THIS. A MASSIVE thank you to @fookinhellcurlyyy and @tonix3 for staying up until 3AM (in various parts of the world) with me as we yell conspiracies at each other.

On March 23rd, 2025:

At 1:00 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 15, 13:00 How simple it is to manipulate time and space. All fabricated. All easily shifted. I can be anyone, anywhere, any time I want. Were you too distracted by the noise to notice the real change? — The Observer

This references the chaos of the prior day (see above). “Time and space” being fabricated? “I can be anyone”? It’s giving glitch in the matrix, but more importantly, it’s pointing to something we missed. Something real.

 “Were you too distracted by the noise to notice the real change?” Answer: Yes. Yes, we were.

Backing up to three days earlier March 20th, 2025:

-Two Ghosts music video leaked — posted by a new, random Twitter account (Barb145489988664) at 9:58 PM that tagged Harrie fans. But almost no one saw it until March 26th. It quietly sat there for 6 days.

-The long-abandoned All of Those Voices TikTok account — inactive since March 14th, 2023 — suddenly posts again. The video is titled:  “Part 2 | Louis Tomlinson’s feature length documentary ‘All Of Those Voices’ London Premiere 16th March 2024 (Bonus DVD Content)”

But there’s no Part 1 on that account. (Important: Don’t confuse this with the Part 1 of the actual documentary that exists on the LTHQ TikTok — this is different.)

So the real changes The Observer talks about? We missed them all. By a mile. A music video leak. A TikTok resurrection. Ghosts from the past slipping through the cracks. Signs of life in places we thought were dead

The Observer is saying:

“I can be anyone (the @/Barb twitter account that leaked the MV), anywhere (back to realize/realise, American vs British), any time I want.”

Seconds after the Day 15 tweet, The Observer replied:

Yesterday, an observer. An imposter. Today, The Observer. Yours truly. Most failed to observe. It’s all in the details. Perhaps we’ll try again soon, or perhaps you’re unfit to be observers after all. I hope to be wrong. For now, we press on. Don’t let me down. — The Observer

This is direct. Sharp. A correction, a warning — and a challenge. We have to pay more attention to the details. 

The PFP updates to a white 15.

At 2:00 PM The Observer tweeted:

Well done, you’re catching on now. All in the details. I’m impressed. — The Observer

This came just an hour after his warning that most had failed to observe — and it marks a significant shift in tone. Mentioned in the comments of the previous post, before this was tweeted were: the difference between An Observer vs The Observer,  the use of American spelling ("realize") instead of British spelling ("realise"), the deliberate typo choices in prior tweets.

The acknowledgement of the realize/realise wording sent us backward — combing through earlier tweets to see if we missed more. And… we did.

March 9th, 2025: "Did your faith in the future endure, or did it waiver in my absence?" — The Observer

At first glance, it reads fine. But once we’re in details mode, it jumps out: The word should be "waver" — meaning to falter, hesitate, or lose strength.

Waver → reflects emotional doubt (which fits the question about “faith”)

Waiver → introduces a legal tone — like contracts, NDAs, or releasing obligations

If it's deliberate — and it likely is — then this is more than just a typo.

On March 24th, 2025:

At 8:00 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 16, 20:00 To regret the past, to hope in the future, and never to be satisfied with the present: That is what I spend my whole life doing. -An Observer

Because of the An, we were immediately on the hunt for a quote. 

 But this time? It wasn’t just any quote.

This line is attributed to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the legendary Russian composer. But more importantly, it wasn’t pulled randomly — it was used by Rosa Newmarch as an epigraph in her edited English translation of the official biography of Tchaikovsky… written by his brother Modest Tchaikovsky. Yes — Modest, like… (You know. That Modest.)

Let’s go on a deep dive of Tchaikovsky. 

 Love in the Shadows: Tchaikovsky’s Censored Letters — Classical KDFC

Let’s break that article down:

Tchaikovsky’s letters, only recently published in full, reveal explicit references to his relationships with men.

He wrote of a “delightful young creature.” and another as “an angelic creature and how I long to be his slave, his plaything, his property.” (Sound familiar? “Sweet Creature” should’ve started playing in your head right about there.)

Modest Tchaikovsky — Pyotr’s younger brother and also gay — was the one who kept his brother’s legacy alive. But to do so, he also became his first censor.

But how does that connect to Louis?

Because:

Here’s Louis on March 14th, 2016 Wearing Tchaikovsky’s name across his chest.

And in 2016, Tchaikovsky’s queerness was absolutely a talking point. In 2014, a Russian biopic about Tchaikovsky’s life was announced — but when it was finally released, all references to his sexuality were erased. The Russian government claimed there was “no proof” he was gay. Then, in a bizarre twist, Putin himself later contradicted this, saying: “Tchaikovsky was gay — but Russians love him anyway.” Source: Reuters

You can’t make this up.

Tchaikovsky couldn’t say who he was in public — But he composed it, coded it, hid it in letters, and left it behind for us to find.

Sounds a lot like someone else we know.

Oh, yeah, and the PFP updated to a white 16. (Yes, it looks backwards. Yes, it resembles a JS. But that's exactly how it is on a dartboard – Tonix3 checked for us and got us background information on why the numbers look weird. Because of the way the metal is bent and welded, that’s why the numbers often look strange. I did a deep dive to see if there was a font for these. And there is only one that I could find. But it’s not available for free use or on any of the major Font websites. You have to directly contact the creator. So either they got this from the creator or they are hand drawing these numbers exactly like they are on a dartboard.)

Addendum: Back to March 20th — Tennyson, Again.

Now, after the Tchaikovsky deep dive and the queerness buried in his letters, I need to go back in time (thank you, @backtothelighton !) to March 20th, and the very first “An" Observer tweet:

Day 11, 11:28 “One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” — An Observer

I noted back then that this was from Tennyson’s “Ulysses” — a poem about an aging king preparing for one final great journey. What we didn’t talk about then… was Tennyson himself.

According to the LGBT Archive, Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) was deeply entwined with another man, his best friend, Arthur Hallam.

From the poem he wrote for Arthur after he passed:

“Tears of the widower, when he sees A late-lost form that sleep reveals, And moves his doubtful arms, and feels Her place is empty, fall like these.”

The sorrow described is not just emotional — it's intimate. Physical. Many scholars believe this goes beyond platonic grief.

So, Tennyson had “Gay Rumors with His Best Friend”™?

And while there’s no concrete proof that Tennyson acted on queer desires, the emotional intensity and poetic intimacy between him and Hallam mirror so many other queer-coded historical relationships. Remember, we had no “proof” about Tchaikovsky until 2018.  We had no “proof” about so many historical figures — because the proof was censored, buried, or coded into art.

On March 25th, 2025

At 1:18 PM, "An Observer" tweeted:

Day 17, 13:18 Everybody loves to tell me I was born an old soul. Better keep my Eyes Wide Open. There's so much that I don't know. — An Observer

I thought Day 16 was packed with layers and literary references...

 This is a lyric. From Sabrina Carpenter’s song, “Eyes Wide Open.”

Which on its own? Innocent enough.  But let’s start with the most innocent parts first — and end with the banger, shall we?

Back in 2014, Harry wrote one of the most heart-wrenching songs we’ve ever heard, "Don’t Let Me Go."

It includes this lyric: “I’ll keep my eyes wide open. I’ll keep my heart wide open.”

The story of this song?  It’s about a relationship struggling under the weight of fame.  The lights are too bright. The distance is unbearable. The connection is still there — but it’s fragile, hanging by a thread. He remembers the twin bed. The simplicity. The intimacy.  Now he’s watching his partner from afar — but still holding on. Still pleading: Don’t let me go.

Fast forward to November 3rd, 2018 —  The Halloween episode of The X-Factor. Louis shows up wearing a black shirt with bold white text:  “EYES WIDE OPEN” — designed by Neil Barrett. 

Now, let’s remember the vibe of that episode:

Robbie Williams dresses as Simon Cowell

Simon is a literal mummy

Dylan McDermott goes full vampire

And Louis?  The scariest thing he could think of? Having your eyes wide open. Let that sink in.

Now here’s where it gets really interesting.

Yes, this quote is from Sabrina Carpenter’s “Eyes Wide Open.”  So on its own, the Observer tweet could just be referencing the song. But…

Harry was spotted at Sabrina Carpenter’s London show backa at the begining of March (before he tropsed around Italy for a while), at the O₂ Arena.

Which — okay — maybe that’s just a concert. But then… A video surfaces of Harry, looking very unhappy to be spotted in his box. But in the background? Zara’s friends. And then — thanks to Sab, who took it a step further — we get the confirmation:

A little girl with a braid. There is a little girl with her hair in a single braid sitting just in front of them in both Zara’s Sabrina Carpenter photos and the video of Harry. 

Harry wasn’t just at the concert. It’s possible he was there with Zara’s circle — why? In what world would Harry, who supposedly hasn’t even talked to Louis in ten years, be so close to his ex-bandmate's supposed girlfriend? I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Full post and non-debunk here:

The profile picture updates to a white 17.

At 5:33 PM, Louis puts a story on his Instagram of the inside of a studio. 

This studio is called Real World Studios. It’s in Bath. It was started by Peter Gabriel and has been used to make some amazing records for artists that Louis absolutely LOVES including Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys, The Courteeners, George Michaels. And there's another, I think. If I could just remember… oh yeah! Harry Styles.

Interesting to note that the album cover of George Michael’s Older that was recorded here looks very familiar. (I’ve seen a post about this somewhere but I can’t find it right now! So if you’re out there, please comment so I can give you credit!!)

At 10:00 PM, The Observer tweets:

FIG — The Observer

That’s it. One word. No context. No lyric. No timestamp breakdown. Just: FIG.

We were still deep in the Sabrina Carpenter spiral and trying to recover from Louis’ recording studio post, when The Observer decided to drop what might be the most cryptic tweet of the entire saga so far. 

If you Google “eyes wide open” + “fig”, the first result is: 

Genesis 3:7 “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.”

This is the moment in the Bible when Adam and Eve “wake up” — their eyes are opened, and suddenly, they’re filled with shame.  They cover their nakedness with fig leaves.

Some scholars (and the internet) believe the fig itself may have been the forbidden fruit — not the apple. Why? Because figs are native to the region, and fig trees are specifically mentioned in the Genesis account.  And because, well... figs are incredibly symbolic. They represent knowledge, sexuality, vulnerability — all the things that come with awakening.

A quick note on Harry’s leaves! The leaves tattooed on Harry’s hips? Not fig leaves. They’re laurels — a whole different larrie conversation.

Right now, I don’t have a confident theory.  The Genesis verse feels deliberate, yes. But how it ties into the broader narrative — or what it's setting up for — is still murky. It’s unclear.  But what is clear is this: “FIG” wasn’t just a random word.

If you’ve got leads? My inbox is open. Because right now, we're all just staring at this tweet like Eve in Eden, trying to decide if we’ve just bitten into something we were never supposed to see.

On March 26th, 2025:

Every year on this date, we knew what to expect.

Louis has tweeted on March 26th in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Originally to mark the anniversary of his first X Factor audition, then, starting in 2021, it became the day of the first ever “Faith in the Future” tweet.  Even after the album dropped, he kept tweeting it — like a quiet ritual. A breadcrumb trail.

So this year? We waited. Who would tweet first — The Observer or Louis?

Around 5:10 PM – The Two Ghosts Leak Breaks

Just as the fandom was refreshing timelines and holding breath…

The Two Ghosts video leak started circulating. And not the old, 15-second clip. This time, we got a full minute. A real, tangible piece of the mystery we’ve been chasing for seven years. Within moments of it gaining traction, the account that shared it?  Gone. Wiped. Deleted.

I won’t do a full breakdown here (for that, please go read @hoovesandfloorpaws incredible post: here), but I do want to talk about how this leak connects to The Observer.

Because I missed something.

On Day 12 (the day of the tweet that leaked it), The Observer referenced Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”. I got caught up in the “fish bowl” and the Pleasing fish— But I completely missed the music. the opening guitar notes of “Wish You Were Here” are nearly identical to the start of “Two Ghosts.”

It’s subtle. But it’s deliberate.

Now let’s look at the visuals.

The Two Ghosts leak shows Harry standing in a surreal river — the water rainbow-hued, oil-slicked, almost glowing. In one shot, he stands knee-deep, solemn and statue-still. In another, he floats in it — eyes closed, arms open, like surrender.

This was pre-rainbow flag tour shows. Pre-”we’re all a little bit gay”, pre-Dress Vogue, pre-Sparkly Bi Music™, this was HS1 Harry — still tied to his One Direction image but trying to break free. Maybe this video was “too loud” to release in 2017.  Maybe it said too much — without saying anything at all.

At 6:59 PM, The Observer tweets:

“Faith in the future”

And then it’s deleted 30 seconds later.

We lose. our. minds. Because Louis? The one who always tweets it? Says nothing. For the first time since 2019,  Louis doesn’t tweet on March 26th.

At 8:20 PM The Observer tweets

Day 18, 20:20 “Four walls, moody lights, a thousand chances to get it right.” — The Observer

This reads like a reference to the studio. And the timestamp? 20:20 as in 20/20 perfect vision.

Are finally seeing things clearly? Or maybe we’re just seeing what they wanted us to see.

The pfp updates to a white 18. 

On March 27th, 2025:

Around 10:00 AM — Nicolas Rebscher -producer of “Out of My System” - posts from Real World Studios

A photo outside of Real World Studios

The song playing is “Out of My System” by Louis.

A video from inside the studio

The song playing is “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong “The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky / Are also on the faces of people going by…”

Let that lyric sit with you for a second. Rainbows. Faces. The real world.

At 7:30 PM The Observer Tweets:

Day 19, 19:30 “Every scar time can’t heal, roaming the world to find something real.” — The Observer

Real World Studios where Louis is as confirmed by Nicolas earlier. We’re being told where he is.  And maybe how he feels.

Around 8:00 PM All of These Voices Posts Part One on TikTok

Out of nowhere, the Louis documentary — long removed from streaming — begins dropping, piece by piece, on TikTok. 14 parts. 1 per night. We’re reliving it all — in real time.

The pfp updates to a white 19.

At 11:35 PM The Observer Tweets:

"You take your time to see what’s right in front of you, causing The Observer to lose faith that you can manage in the real world. Now, more details slip through the cracks like ghosts of a forgotten past." — An Observer

This is the first time “AN” Observer account isn’t quoting someone else. It’s not a lyric. Not a poem. This is "An Observer" speaking about "The Observer."

We’re being told: we’re missing things, we’re not reading fast enough. And The Observer? Is losing faith in us. Yikes.

People begin connecting the dots as quickly as possible to correct this:

Real World Studios — where Louis is, confirmed

The Faith in the Future deleted tweet — but no post from Louis

The difference between “An Observer” and “The Observer”

That weird, haunting “FIG” tweet

The ghosts of what could’ve been

The colors of the rainbow — in the sky, on faces, in rivers, in leaks

At 11:55 PM The Observer tweets:

“Much better.” — The Observer

No timestamp. No flair.  Just those two words.

Final Thoughts

As of writing this, it’s now March 28th, 2025 — Which means the countdown, if there ever truly was one, should end today.

And with it? Who knows what the future holds for The Observer, An Observer, or us.

But here’s what we do know:

We still do not believe this account is directly tied to Harry, Louis, or anyone officially connected to them. There is no indication that they have insider info, access to private accounts, or any kind of behind-the-scenes pipeline. Everything The Observer has posted has been public knowledge — If you knew where to look. How to look.  And what to look for.

That alone is impressive. But what makes it beyond impressive?

Whoever is behind this account has spent countless hours combing through timelines, archives, lyrics, leaks, interviews, styling credits, religious texts, deleted TikToks, and Tumblr posts. They’ve crafted something that doesn’t just reference Harry and Louis’ story — it reconstructs it.

Meticulously. With intent. With love. With pain. And with a deep understanding of how their story has unfolded — In this life and others past.

We’ve seen this before. RBB/SBB. The coded signs. The layered visuals. The rabbit holes that led to unexpected places.

And, much like then, this too may end not with a bang, but with a fade. A quiet disappearance into the digital mist — Leaving us wondering if it was all a fever dream. Or if there was ever another explanation.

But right now?

We are standing at the edge of the Real World. We’ve learned to pay attention to details, to observe what’s in front of us, to question what’s missing, to listen for the ghosts.

We’ve revisited Tennyson, Tchaikovsky, James Dean, Genesis, and ghosts in rainbow rivers. We’ve watched the subtle shift from The Observer to An Observer and back again. We’ve been tested. Corrected. Challenged. Rewarded.

If this is the end?

Then we are grateful for the journey. For the questions it asked us to consider. For the stories it asked us to remember. 

And if it’s not?

We’ll be watching. Eyes wide open. Hearts wide open.

Because even if time and fate have worn us down, we still have the will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.— Faith in the future. Whatever that may look like.

The Observer (Observed)

Either someone is deep in the Lore or LT3 era has begun.

Edit: I guess I am going to turn this post into a masterpost of sorts. I go more into detail about what I think this might be here (hint: not Louis).

But for now just please play it safe:

Don’t give them personal information.

Don’t engage in DMs with them.

Keep a healthy skepticism.

TIMELINE:

Twitter user @FromTheObserver was created on March 9th 2025.

At the time it first tweeted, it's pfp was a lavender eye with the roman numberals for 369.

The bio was "Through the looking glass the observer watches, craving what is just beyond reach."

The cover image was the below (MORE ABOUT THIS ARTWORK AT THE END):

At 2:44 GMT PM its first tweet said:

"The silence is broken. At last I return. Did your faith in the future endure, or did it waiver in my absence? You have waited, perhaps doubted, but the silence was never empty. I am ever present, hidden just beyond the veil. -The Observer

At 4:55 PM The Observer tweeted again:

Have you forgotten me so soon? -The Observer

At 7:44 PM Louis' official account tweeeted:

India I had no idea what to expect but you turned up in full force. From Doncaster to Mumbai. Fucking mind blowing! Thank you!

People started digging. "The Observer" appeared in a list of songs someone found on the French Music Directory SACEM. They first tweeted this list on February 2nd 2025.

I was able to confirm the listing at this link.

It is important to note though, that this lists SONY MUSIC PUBLISHING FRANCE as a sub-publisher and Reservior, Big Life Songs, and Inconnu Editur as publishers.

If we compare this to an LT released song, SILVER TONGUES, that ALSO has Sony listed as the subpublisher. So that doesn't debunk this as a real possible upcoming song.

For those who were saying that since it's sony he wouldn't use it. It appears Sony still has some claws in him. But thats normal in the music industry. A SUB-PUBLISHER doesn't mean he has a Sony deal again. It just means that BMG might not have the reach he needs in France to distribute so they'd rather pay someone else to do it.

I'd also like to point out that I could not verify this or any of the other songs on any American or UK repository like BMI or ACE.

I feel really uncomfortable digging into potential songs of Louis' knowing how badly he doesn't like the tracklist leaked. So this will be my extent of my digging on THIS SUBJECT. (But please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong or I am missing something)

On March 10th, 2025:

At 1:30 AM The Observer tweeted:

I told you… But did you listen? -The Observer

Louis followed Lolla India sometime before 10:19 AM (based on the HL Daily update)

LTHQ Posted a Tiktok of Louis' show at Eletric Brixton around 4:38 PM (based on the HL Daily update)

Louis posted a reel from his time in India at 7:25 PM

At 10:00 PM (20:00) The Observer posted:

Day 1, 20:00 It’s eerily quiet in the laboratory today. - The Observer

At the time of this tweet, their pfp was the same lavender eye. HOWEVER the 369 roman numerals were gone. Replaced by a 7 (Or maybe a 1?). (For information about Louis' connection to the number 7, see this masterpost by @so-idialed-9.

On March 11th, 2025:

Louis poasted a pictures and video for Soccer Aid at 9:13 AM

Louis followed Soccer Aid on Instagram at 10:53 AM

Louis liked a photo from Soccer Aid of his 28 jersey at 1:44 PM

At 10:00 PM (20:00) The Observer tweeted again:

Day 2, 20:00 Watching from the outside, I can only hope not to become one of them. Perhaps I already have… Is it too late for me? -The Observer

The pfp at this time replaced the 7 with a 2.

On March 12th, 2025:

At 3:12 PM The Obsever Tweeted:

Day 3, 15:12 How can I change what’s already been written? If the past is in permanent ink, can the future ever be a blank page? -The Observer

At this time the pfp updated to a red 3 at the bottom.

Around 4:00 PM CST Louis followed footballer Jermain Defoe on Insta.

Also on this day, a pretty TeRrIbLe article from The Standard dropped, essentially making fun of 28, Louis, and his fans.

We also get a "Rome Unseen" of Harry drinking coffee with a friend and yelling at stalkers trying to take his picture.

On March 13th, 2025:

At 3:12 PM The Observer tweeted:

Day 4, 15:15 Inhale. Exhale. Surrender to what’s beyond control. -The Observer

Pretty telling for a fandom that is crashing out over circumstances outside of anyones control.

The number in the pfp changes to a white 4 in the right hand corner.

Louis doesn't move on this day.

On March 14th, 2025:

At 6:20 AM The Observer tweeted:

The shadow consumes the light. A fleeting moment where past, present, and future collide. Do you see it? Observe. -The Observer

It is important to note that there was a Blood Moon Lunar eclipse that could be seen in London just before dawn. "Stargazers around the world caught the first sign of the lunar event, which began at 05:09 GMT, on a livestream run by LA's Griffith Observatory."

Note the nod to the Observatory, to shadow consuming light.

The pfp stays the white 4 during this tweet.

At 3:18 PM The Observer tweeted:

Day 5, 15:18 Across a million futures, one constant endures. -The Observer

Sound familiar? If you are a Larrie, it should. Mr. "souces say he has trouble with long term relationships" used a similar line in his "You Are Home" promo.

(personal opinion here. take with a grain of salt. this has confirmed for me that Louis has nothing to do with this account. This line was too loud when H tweeted it. It didn't fit any narrative. It wasn't even related to anything on the album. This and the "half way home" debacle were some of the craziest wtf is going on here moments in the You Are Home tweet saga. If this had anything to do with his work or career, Louis would stay far away from using lines this closely tied to Harry.)

The pfp updates to a white 5 (which really looks like an upside down 2)

At 6:00 PM LTHQ posted an IG reel from India.

On March 15th, 2025:

At 10:00 AM The Observer tweeted and immediately deleted:

"A true observer must always be watching. Blink, and you'll miss what matters most. 625 369 825 007 326 028 -The Observer"

369 and 28 are both intrinscly linked to Louis and can be found in the masterpost at the begining. 007 is typically a reference to James Bond which Harry is a favorite to perfom the next James Bond song or play him.

HOWEVER, 625, 825, and 326 could possibly be month/years. As in June 2025, August 2025, and March 2026.

Louis is playing in Soccer Aid on June 15th 2025. (THIS COMES INTO PLAY IN A FEW DAYS. Approximately 40% of the articles about Louis' new stunt involve his involvement in SoccerAid and how he will be on the team with his stunt's very recent ex.)

Should we be looking for August 2025 and March 2026 events as well?

At 9:45 PM The Observer tweeted:

"Day 6, Unkown Too quick to catch, too fleeting to frame in memory. But a true observer is always taking notes. -The Observer"

The pfp updated to a white 6 (at the three oclock position)

On March 16th, 2025:

We got two posts again this day.

At 9:30 AM The Observer tweeted:

Day 7, Unknown How did we end up here? -The Observer

The past two posts have stated that the time is "Unknown" instead of giving us UK time. Have we stopped tracking the time? Have we moved timezones?

The pfp updated to a white 7 at this time as in accordance with the dart board.

At 11:30 PM The Observer tweeted:

Silent? Silenced. Patience. Observe. -The Observer

The first part of this refers to an Oprah interview.

The implication is that someone has not CHOSEN to be silent. They've been made to be silent. However, if we - as the audience - are patient, we can observe what they cannot say.

The pfp updates now. There are no numbers. The pupil is smaller and we can see what appears to be eyelashes in the top right corner.

On March 17th, 2025:

We ge two posts again today. But it's what happens in between that makes it important.

At 8:25 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 8, 20:25 No key to turn, no doors to guide A journey taken, far and wide The walls unfamiliar, the roads unknown A wandering soul, yet not alone -The Observer

The pfp updates back to the original eye with a white 8. Which looks oddly like an infinity sign as the circles are elongated.

First thing to note is that were back on UK time. The second - your intepretation of this tweet will matter to how authentic you think this account is. For me - when I saw "no key to turn, no doors to open". I immediately thought of the tattoo Harry has on his ribs of a birdcage with no door. Next to his drama masks. Above the SMCL (smile more cry later?) tattoos. There isn't a keyhole nor a door to this closet. The "you are home" door is closed, it cannot be opened.

Yet the last line of the 28 word (if you include the signature) poem leaves us hopeful. Despite the distance, the walls, the unknown roads, there’s an undercurrent of connection

Then an hour and a half later at 10:00 PM on the dot The Sun gives us our very first confirmation article of Louis' new stunt. Which I will not speak about in depth on this post. If you want more info, my page is full of it, but I don't want to muddy this post with that.

At 11:55 PM we get another tweet from The Observer:

Fabricated fairytales, observed by all. -The Observer

The pfp does not change.

The "fabricated fairytales" is a line from Louis' She is Beauty, We Are World Class. (my intrepretation of that song is here if you're into that kind of thing.) This is in direct response to the stunt. It is not mincing words or leaving room for interpretation by the timing. It is saying "this is a fake romance and now the world is watching".

On March 18th, 2025:

At 8:35 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 9, 20:35 Nearly Halfway Home. A long journey, but well worth it. -The Observer

The pfp uppdates to a green 9 as per the dart board.

The tweet itself, needs lore to explain.

On April 1st 2022, Louis registered a song Halfway Home. This registration can still be confirmed here.

THEN on April 13th 2022 (two weeks later), the You Are Home account for Harry's House promo tweeted "half way home"

Home, as a concept, has always deeply tied to both Louis and Harry and both of them together. The lore goes deep, but a summary is here.

The capitalization of Halway and Home, directs us to the song name.

But if were intepreting, it's also telling us that there is a plan in place. And though its a long way out, we're nearly halfway there and it will be worth it in the end.

On March 19th, 2025:

At 2:28 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 10, 14:28 A fresh set of eyes, born from little white lies. -The Observer

The pfp changes to a white 10.

Little White Lies is a clear refrence to the One Direction song, Little White Lies.

Bare with my little larrie heart here (but since this account is obviously also a larrie I'd be suprised if you aren't too) but Louis is in the headlines more than hes been in a decade right now. The PR is PRing. There are a whole new set of eyes on him. All because he's selling the story of some "little white lies".

DARTBOARD THEORY AND UPDATES

At this point, to anyone who is paying attention, it's become clear that the numbers represent a dart board.

See the most recent overlay below:

There have been a lot of recent theories revolving around dart boards after Louis posted one while he was in New Orleans for the superbowl and then followed a darts player on Instagram.

As to keep this unbiased and not tied to further speculation, I won't comment on the connection around all of the other people in Louis' life that have posted pictures of dart boards recently (just know that his sisters, Pleasing, Lamby, Niall, and more have posted dart boards - usually with the dart in the triple 20 spot). HOWEVER, darts has always been popular in the UK and its growing in popularity with the younger crowd recently. It's entirely possible that Louis just loves a game of darts at the local, and his sisters' boyfriends do to, and he's watching competive darts lately (especially the first openly gay dart player who is super popular right now), and Pleasing thought somehow darts were Valentine's day imagery.

EXTRA STUFF & FINAL THOUGHTS

As mentioned by this Twitter user, the artwork is pretty well likely AI generated (plus a little Canva/Photoshop for the numbers). It has all the tell-tale signs of generative AI (wonkey lines, misproportions, etc).

Louis has entire teams of graphic designers plus Joshua Halling (who loves this skind of thing) in his back pocket. He wouldn't need AI for any of this.

At this point, The Observer is definitely an interesting mystery, but whether it’s something to pay attention to or just a fan-run account remains to be seen. The AI-generated images are a major red flag—it’s hard to imagine Louis or his team relying on AI when he has actual designers and photographers on hand. Even his more cryptic rollouts in the past have been visually polished and intentional.

That said, the timing of the tweets, the SACEM song listing, and the number symbolism do make it intriguing enough to keep an eye on. If this is a fan project, they’re clearly deep in the lore and know how to grab attention.

Key Takeaways:

Be cautious. If this is a fan messing around, engaging too seriously could be dangerous to your online safety.

Don’t assume it’s official.

It's probably not connected and Louis probably knows nothing about it. If it is somehow connected it will become obvious soon. If it's not (way more likely), it’ll probably fade out like other fandom mysteries before it.

For now? I’m just observing The Observer. 👀

[hope-in-cloudy-skies]

Hey, everyone!! I know I haven’t been posting very much lately, but I wanted to come on here today and be honest with y’all. I know that as a Christian a lot of people expect me to be perfect and “don’t sin or you’ll go to hell,” which is actually the version of “God” that I was raised on. I’ve come really far in my journey and I know that positive words are what a lot of you followed me for, but I really wanted to be honest with you guys today.

I am a sinner.

I struggle with gluttony, pride, complaining way too much, and a TON of other things, but today in particular I wanted to talk about my struggle with self-harm.

I fell back into temptation today and c*t myself for the first time in a year. And yeah, that’s deep, that’s dark, I get it. “How could you do that? You have God, are you not thankful for Him? What’s the point of changing your eating habits if you’re just going to harm His temple in a different way?” And I guess my answer is I don’t know, I am, and most importantly God says that all sins will be dealt with equally on the day of judgement. So my self harm is the same as sexual sin, the same as abortion, the same as being gay, the same as hate, the same as murder… and all of those other things that a lot of Christians hate their God given people for. Every time we sin we are SINNING. God is going to judge us all the same, and I really do hope that this message will guide you to repent just a little bit more today!!

But that’s not the point I came on here to make today (even though it is a God-given important one!!). Today I wanted to let you guys know that yeah, we all struggle. So many people in my life are under the assumption that I’m perfectly happy all the time except for minor inconveniences and yes, my home life. People see me as this confident, outgoing, HAPPY person, and that’s not who I feel like I am. Guys, I STRUGGLE. And I know that SO many of you can relate to this, and that’s why it’s so important that I talk about this today. Because I wrote to God today and I said “God, why do I do the things I don’t want to do?” And it brought me right back to Paul’s letter, and I know that even SAINT PAUL struggled with sin!! It’s crazy to think that these people who we look up to, these people who have done such AMAZING things, struggle with the same temptations and emotions and thoughts that we do. And even so, GOD FORGIVES THEM.

God forgives us. God forgives YOU. I watched The Gospel of John today, and… wow. Just. Wow. Have you really thought about how crazy people must have thought Jesus was? Form the people’s point of view: Out of nowhere this literal son of a carpenter starts going in the synagogues, the Holy places, and proclaiming to be God’s Son. Now see to us this is normal. But to someone who believed that Abraham was the father of all and that proclaiming to be God’s child was blasphemy… this is just a guy with the case of the crazies. And Jesus was HUMAN, too. Jesus was tempted too. The devil probably tried to make Him anxious. “Look at the crowd, they’re gonna think you’re crazy! No one is going to believe you- all these people, all of your children are going to die and you’re going to helpless to watch!” (No, the devil probably didn’t say these things exactly, but Jesus WAS tempted, and we know this from the scriptures!) And I’m not saying this to make you say “but JESUS never fell into temptation! I DO! I’M SUCH A FAILURE!” Because I know that’s what I tell myself a lot of the time. But instead, I’m saying this to let you all know that GOD HIMSELF KNOWS WHAT TEMPTATION FEELS LIME.

GOD ALMIGHTY KNOWS YOUR STRUGGLE!!! And you are NOT God. You ARE going to fall into temptation, and it’s your job to ask God to help you out of it!! And faith is so important here, but this is also where works comes into the matter!! We are saved by the faith that God will help us out of the pit of sin and death, but if we sit there and keep sinning why should hHe? We’re just going to purposely fall back in. We have to help God help us. We have to make the effort to stop sinning, because without the effort God cannot help us. Do you know why people go to hell? Because God loves them enough to respect their decision not to want Him. Do you know why people are stuck in sin? Because God respects their decision not to make the effort to be free of it.

Peter couldn’t have seen through the faith to walk on water without making the effort to walk in the first place. GOD IS NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING IF YOU ARE STANDING STILL!!! You need to show God that you really want something, because God sees your heart!

And me, I’m going to make the effort. I fell into temptation today, and the temptation is still here. I am being tempted RIGHT NOW. But am I going to fall into sin? No. I’m going to fall to my knees instead. I’m going to cry out to God to help my disbelief, to help me rely on His strength instead of my own, and I am going to turn to my Bible instead of a razor blade.

For this next week I am posting an update every day, to prove to you all that you CAN break those chains of sin with God’s help!! I invite you to do a daily Bible study with me, to eat all-natural, to work out (or run or walk or WHATEVER!!), and to pray for all the things I am thankful for daily with me!

We’re in this together, my brothers and sisters in Christ. We are all one body, united to be a whole Church!! You are forgiven, you are loved, and you are saved so long as you still truly want to be!! God loves you SO much, and so do I!!

~Hopey, OUT!!! ✌️🕊️☦️🥰💪

[nicolos]

you know I am just obsessed with how much Milner vacillates in s2 about finding out what he did to it. like the moment philip is invoked it stops being about janus - if, in fact, it has been for any point since "you are a fucking god." she fully says "we lost him" and means it, and while she's clearly mad about him having made a change, it's less to do with the principle she's very fucking clear about early on and much more to do with the incredible thing they've done together. jessica is philip's baby but janus is THEIRS. it's her child with him.

and then. "you did it for HER?" not for us? not for that separation of ours, that little platform where it was just us and nobody else mattered? to save Her? but it's alright. she'll pardon him choosing his child if she can also have theirs. it's only a few - million - casualties. they're trying to save a species here: that will be what she and philip give the world

[themogaidragon]

Yes, that's true. I've made this mistake plural times a while ago, since I was uninformed on vexillology and didn't knew back then any better to make each design recognisable.

I've personally started to redesign some of the flags for that reason.

I think a solution could be to use heavily simplified/nearly abstract symbols + the same template for all phobias for flags.

For example for phobia of cats instead of putting a cat's head putting simplified paw prints. For phobia of clowns instead of putting a symbol of a clown (like I did 💀) putting just a red clown nose. Etc

And more importantly to work with people who actually have the specific phobia in question, because unless you have the phobia, it tends to be hard for ppl to understand what is and isn't triggering (speaking from experience here)

apperently a hot take: specific phobia flags should not have the thing the phobia is about on the flags. i just saw an entomophobia (phobia of bugs) flag with a huge bug on it. like, thats inaccessible to (some, would argue most) people with that specific phobia, and thats your target audience. please think about another symbol that could do it (for example a fear symbol). thank you.

I fear there's a reason for buddie being my favourite ship and it's because one of my favorite tropes is when someone who thinks they're unlovable, or irredeemable, or that they're not worthy of attention is given it all so freely and so effortlessly that they have no choice but to accept it.

Now that we’ve been blessed with dual pov Miss Nora, I am so curious to know just a little bit of Andrew’s POV. Seeing Neil and Kevin from Jean and Jeremy’s pov makes me want others pov! Give me Andrew when Neil calls him out for not being drugged! When Neil wore the club clothes! When Neil payed a waiter to knock him out! I WANT IT SO BAD! I need to know how many times Andrew or anybody else just think “wtf is with this kid”

[theloverlylo]

I don’t know know why anyone was surprised.

No, seriously. I have no idea why anyone expected anything else, given that Eddie canonically hates people who treat Buck badly.

Abby: In 3x18, when dealing with the train derailment, watch how Eddie reacts to her. He doesn’t like her. He’s immediately judgmental. When Bobby asks why Buck is so gung-ho on Sam’s rescue, Eddie says Abby’s name with so much vitriol that I’m amazed his spit doesn’t turn to acid. He has never met this woman before, but he loathes her for how she treated Buck.

Phil and Marge: When everything about Daniel comes out, he still clear wants the Buckley parents to be swallowed by a sinkhole. You might expect that, as the father of a child with CP, he might have some sympathy for their situation. Some understanding, at least, of having to deal with your child having health problems that no one expects, and then maybe some empathy for them having to actually bury their son. Nope! He judges them solely by how they have treated Buck and both in season 4 and later appearances, it’s clear Eddie has no patience for them at all.

Taylor Kelly: She wasn’t great to Buck. Putting aside the whole “cheating” thing, which Buck wasn’t completely innocent in but wasn’t as guilty as most people including Buck try to say, they weren’t a great couple. She never seemed that interested in Buck outside of what he could do for her, and Eddie responded to that with icy politeness.

So Eddie ditching Tommy the moment Tommy dumped Buck? Honestly, it’s the only reaction that fits. Buck is a self-loathing love hungry golden retriever with abandonment issues. He will put up with any amount of poor treatment in exchange for a scrap of affection, because that’s all he’s used to and all he thinks he’s worth. And while Buck is allowing himself to be used, put down, ignored, and manipulated, Eddie is right behind him, glaring over his shoulder and saying “he might let you treat him this way. But I will not”.

And honestly, that’s one of my favorite things about Buck and Eddie’s relationship. That Eddie will be the brick wall of consequences to Bucks forgiving nature. They balance each other, but more importantly, it fills a gap in Buck. And would I love Buck to learn to demand better treatment from people around him? Yes. But people have flaws, and those deep-seeded ones usually don’t go away. Instead, I find it more romantic to have people find partners who innately stopgap their worst qualities. To me, it’s a more genuine love to have Eddie see Bucks forgiving self and say “I love this about him, but it’s not healthy. So I will fix it for him and thus take it off his plate” than expecting that Buck fix himself before he can be loved truly.

It is the difference between living some in spite of their worst qualities and loving someone because of them.

Ali, Abby, Taylor, Tommy, Natalia, they liked Buck even though Buck dives into everything way too fast and has no sense of emotional self-preservation. But Eddie? Eddie loves Buck because of those very things, and is willing to take the negatives of that alongside the positive, and to help counteract those negatives himself.

eddie immediately stopped talking to tommy lmao
