#the blatant paralleling of bathena buddie storylines in this episode is literally sickening how am i supposed to survive

[chronicowboy]

the bathena/buddie parallels in survivors go so hard but the most insane one by far is that athena and bobby have that conversation about her being attacked in the same episode eddie gets shot in front of buck, almost a whole season after it happens, talking about how they'd live without the other and what athena's trauma did to bobby when buck is breaking down in christopher's arms and saying i think it would've been better for him if i was the one who got shot and eddie tells buck about the will to make him believe that his life is just as valuable—
