#with all our buddie hope

[deluweil]

Hey, spn anon here.

I felt like I needed to scream at someone about this ep. But now after a few hours I am just a little disappointed by it. And the thing is, it's not one thing but the overall feeling of it all? Hard to explain.

I could rant about the lack of Eddie or that May had more screentime. But that wouldn't even be it. I liked most of the ep but some things kinda left a bad taste. Would have just been nice to see the friendship a little more. I am not even sure I should complain. This fandom can be rough sometimes.

Sorry, if that sounds too negative or something. I don’t want to harsh anyone's joy. I get why you wrote you are confused. I am, too... a little at least 😅

But... i am still excited to see the rest of the season. Just with not much of an expectation.

How is your vacation going?

Hi babe!

Tbh, we're in the same boat as far as the episode concerned, I mean, this is supposed to be good television, and it feels like they missed all the right marks that could make an actual impact.

You're right when you say it wasn't even about May or Eddie. It was more.

Because the firefam, shattered, broken at their youngest and the beating heart of the 118, lying lifeless in a hospital bed was enough to be able to tell a good story.

And no, not necessarily a buddie story, but a story about Buck's actual family, the one that's been there through good and bad and ugly.

Not tell a story about some random ppl, who happen to be Buck's bio parents, show out of the blue for a couple of episodes, then don't show up again for the rest of the season. (From Oliver's interview.)

So I understand where you're coming from. The whole thing was confusing. Hopefully, we will get more clarity later on.

If not, well, there's always the possibility of living in fanon forever. 😉❤️

“Claude in Hopes is exactly the same way he is in Houses! He’s always been like that and has the same feelings/morals!”

Claude in GW/Hopes:

Claude, literally, in Houses:

Let that speak for the fact that Claude was written with a 180 characterization in Hopes.

Claude wants peace and to bring everyone together; not to tear them further apart. That is his character.

Why doesn’t the world make itty bitty teeny lil kitty sized noise canceling headphones😭😭

[mschismosa]

Why is it seemingly impossible to find other almost 30 year olds in some fandoms who are

a. Active

and

b. Not the kind of 30yo who have vague-post beef with teens on twitter

I dont want to be that old weirdo in the crowd of 20yos but from personal experience, 25yo+ fans with a “you don’t wanna deal with a devil like me” ass attitude make me wanna bang my head against a wall.

Can we not just sit back & talk about asoryuri and swap fics and doodles in peace yes or no

To be fair i do have friends that i like and are really chill, only downside is they do not care even a little bit about ace attorney LMAO

I’m so nervous about the finale 😂. Especially the journalist reactions. Like logically buddie makes the most sense of what’s to come. But I just don’t know if they’d be allowed to even hint at it in their teases?? Like you’d think they would be told to steer clear of it if that’s what is happening. And Max Geo especially has me side eyeing because he absolutely hates Ryan/Eddie. Like so much. He’d rather eat glass than actively be excited about anything good for the character of Eddie Diaz. And he’s a very big Buck/Tommy fan too.

Hi Nonny! Hope you're having a lovely day.

I'm a little confused by your trepidation, because I've seen a lot of these journalists' reactions and they actually don't give anything away. They all say the same thing: it ends on a cliffhanger and sets up the storylines for s8. Some of them were very excited about the episode, but again, they didn't give anything away by being excited. They could be excited about anything really. Even if some of them are Buddie fans, their comments are still general enough to be about anything.

I looked up Max Gao's reaction and it was indeed short and to the point, a bit more 'sec' than the other reactions. But that could be for many reasons.

It's nice to look at these reactions and speculate what it might mean. But ultimately, they aren't really going to give anything substantial away.

We'll just have to do what us, mere mortals without screeners always do. Suffer through the week to make it to Thursday (Friday for some of us 🙄) and watch the episode.

hi hello pran autism anon here again!! i just watched ep 4 again and i noticed at the scene when pat comes to give pran his earphones, and lets himself in, pran repeatedly expresses his distaste at the fact for two reasons. yes, he doesn’t want pat infringing on his privacy or messing up his meticulously arranged living space. but it's the other reason that intrigues me when looking at pran through an autistic lens. he repeats that pat entered without being let in. he's very bothered not only by pat's actions, but also the fact that pat is breaking a social norm. as an autistic person, i find that i tend to feel uncomfortable when i see other people not follow social norms, which i feel is because i've had to consciously learn these and remind myself to follow them for years. i feel like pran is having a similar internal experience here, where he's seeing pat do something that isn't considered 'socially acceptable', which bothers him because he has a script in his head that he's built up over the years, and this doesn't follow the script that he uses to dictate what is and isn't okay to do, what does and doesn't get him acceptance from his peers etc. he then comments that pat 'has no manners'. i think this is a pretty common thing that many autistic people have experienced, being told we have no manners because we unconsciously broke an unwritten social rule we never learnt about. pran, in my opinion, can't help but project the rules he's learnt to help himself fit in and mask onto other people. it might be a very small detail to focus on, but it's something that really got me thinking.

thank you for reading my rant about literally three lines of dialogue!! hope you have a great day!!!

I love you anon.

I know you didn't technically ASK me to rant about Pran's relationship w his room but I have too much to say and I hope you're okay w that.

So

Pran and his room: from the lens of autism

1. As someone with autism, social rules and norms that we agree with are set in stone. So your analysis about Pat breaking a social rule makes a lot of sense. Especially when you see the other interactions at the food stall and music shop (you're not supposed to sniff people????????????)

2. It's also likely that he's very transparently present in his room. For people with autism, our rooms are our safe spaces and worst nightmares because they reflect so much of who we are. If they are messy, It's our mess. If it's organized, It's customised to our space. Rooms, dorms and other living spaces are basically a self portrait.

Which is why when Pat dares enter and sneak a peak at his barest self, lit with fairy lights and faces telling him how to smile, rituals along every curve and table, he feels scared. What if Pat notices his smilies and thinks he's still a child (he should have overcome the hyperfixation by now? Will Pat understand?) What if Pat notices his coffee stained couch and calls Pran on being an imposter who only pretends to get angry at messy stains. There's so many ways Pat could see behind his carefully constructed masks.

His apprehension from pat entering could be from not letting Pat see him.

And that's also why he holds the social norm of asking before entering so close to his daily functioning; revels in the safety of enforcing this rule rigidly.

[I sometimes liken this to the idea of a nest in the omegaverse where it's extremely personal and reflective of the person making it. I also love the omega verse so much because it takes a lot of neurodivergent traits and makes them seem normal and that's just another post altogether]

3. When Pat and Pran finally get their shit together Pran let's Pat change his room and make the space theirs. It's the biggest declaration of love if I've ever seen one. He let's Pat put up photos and shares his bed and doubles the Pillows and makes space for Nong Nao. All because he's ready to allow Pat in his space. Across the rituals. Inside his safety.

4. The fact that the most crucial of the moments (The Kiss, The Bet, The Ming) happen away from the safety of his room goes along with this and his canon OCD.

If you're living with OCD, safe spaces can turn into compulsions at the sight of threat. And the fact that he was so adamant on keeping the relationship behind closed doors felt a lot like stemming not just from his anxiety about his parents but also his imposter syndrome: It's a glitch in the matrix that Pat likes me back and we should not test the matrix lest it remind Pat I'm an annoyance that he rather not deal with.

If you have autism, the safety of your room provides familiar and clear cues that could be helpful if an emergency is to arrive (I could just start talking about the rotting food if conversations get tougher// I could go to my own washroom and pretend to take my time if I feel overwhelmed). These safety nets are not present Outside.

And it is through his autism that Pran shows his love to Pat.

He let's Pat break his rules constantly. Not because they don't cause him discomfort. They still do. But his love for Pat is just greater than that.

He will let Pat drag him outside. Let Pat post photos of him. Let Pat make a mess on his kitchen table. Go with Pat to an unknown room.

As Anon said, these rules and norms and safe spaces are all in place because of being reprimanded for being neurodivergent by the neurotypical system builders. They are precautions to avoid being hurt or being called out on the fact that they don't belong.

But Pran doesn't feel hurt in Pat's presence. Because regardless of if they are friends or enemies, they've always belonged together.

So I found out Elemental made a huge comeback and went from the worst Pixar fail to the biggest Disney success since 2019 !!! I am SO happy for it I thought it would have failed but no the word-to-mouth was apparently phenomenal and I can almost boast I loved it before it was cool !

In the dirty face of Encanto who finally got beaten, fuck off narcissictic family dynamics apologizing movie, make way to ACTUAL family pressure that DO seem believable when resolved because it IS apparent they actually do care from the start all while being a great romance and being a social racial commentary at that

And in your FACE Tumblr who HOPED it would bomb and made bad faith posts calling it ugly and problematic without watching it because it wasn't about a LGBT allegory like other movies you were determined to dickride and overly promoted as the BEST MOVIE EVAAAA because no other reason over than GAE (you ALL know which...) and because you keep blaming Disney for being unoriginal but refuse to watch its few original content then do a surprised Pikachu face at the 1828th live action remake, and because you assumed it would be problematic (the word that has the least meaning and impact left nowadays) from bad marketing alone while it is an immigrant 2nd generation story first AND a romance second. But no instead let's praise stunning and brave unnecessary remakes for coloring a character ON PURPOSE TO CAUSE REACTIONS because they know it would have failed otherwise and nobody would care, and those caring only for that shallow bait as if that would beat racism and calling racists those who don't think it makes sense. And now it's gonna rinse and repeat with "WHO NEEDS STRAIGHT ROMANCE STRONG WOMEN DON'T NEED IT THEY CAN SAVE THEMSELVES WOMEN WHO NEED TO BE SAVED ARE WEAK" as if that were not mysoginistic

Either way, Ember and Wade are the superior Pixar couple and I wish they are making out over all those who rejoiced it failed because they can't enjoy anything anymore equally and only see them as RRRRIVALS to their beloved stories, the larger audience ultimately made their choice proving the world is very different from what Tumblr thinks it is and even if I know I won't see any other post celebrating here because "NOT our movie uwu" I just know it is real. The fandom does exist and won't need you
