And if I say I think 8x05 will result in an explicitly romantic moment for Buddie but one or both of them freak out and the show leaves us on a cliffhanger looking like it’s gonna go bad between them at the end of the ep? 👀

(hence Buck/T needing to confront uncomfortable truths and Eddie being driven to go to confession in 8x06??)

I’m just gonna say it… they should have kept TK a firefighter. Has he done a SINGLE significant thing as a paramedic in a rescue? Aside from saving the kid who fell through the ice that one time, which was just an excuse to put him in another coma.

We all (rightfully) like to be annoyed with this show for constantly centering Owen in the firefighter scenes, but at least the others all get SOME cool moments.

Meanwhile, Tommy does everything in the limited time they give to paramedic scenes. I love Tommy, but TK and Nancy are really both just there to check vitals and do compressions.

Even in 5x03 when they were trapped, TK was the only one in the room with firefighter training and yet Tommy was the one who knew what to do in the gas cloud situation while TK thought a fan dispersed the entire thing outside?? 😂

Hopefully TK and Nancy both get some cool paramedic rescue moments in the rest of the season!

white collar goes so hard because they will stop at NOTHING to close cases that usually dont matter at all. like, enjoy the steep fine i hope forging antique bottles was worth it 😈 the stakes have never been lower. its about the journey

As I’m sure many of you know, GH has decided to fire Kelly Monaco (Sam McCall)! She is reportedly blindsided by the decision, which comes on the heels of being asked to take a pay cut (which she agreed to!!) and was then fired anyways.

Her character is slated to be killed off in the fall, which means we have just a few short weeks to act!

It should be noted that GH is currently promoting the return of a legacy character fan favorite (Jonathan Jackson as Lucky) and has just announced the hiring of three(!) new cast members to bring in for his storyline.

It should ALSO be noted that reportedly several of the female cast members have been asked to take pay cuts, and journalists are predicting more cut announcements are to come.

After 21 years, Kelly Monaco deserves more than a rushed exit storyline where her character is killed off. Please sign the petition and help us keep her! Efforts like this have worked before to keep Genie Francis and Rebecca Herbst on the show… and may need to work again in the near future!

What else can GH fans do?

- Join us on Twitter/X! We are tagging #IStandWithKelly, #KellyMonaco, #NoKellyNoGH & #KellyIsSam especially during the show’s air time in your local time zone.

- We will also be starting daily prompts to use our hashtags & talk about all things Kelly & Sam over at Twitter/X account @IStandWithKelly starting tomorrow morning EST, 8/29

- Call, write, or email! In particular, some of us are banding together to create a Phoenix-themed campaign and send either red feathers or small phoenix figurines with our letters to the studio!

- Focus all your feedback on being disappointed but positive about Kelly & Sam! We are not looking to bash other cast members or even the execs/network (as mad as we are) so we can have a better chance of them taking us seriously.

- Share this post or info! Let’s spread the word to other GH fans!

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

I want a story about a king whose son is prophesied to kill him so the king is like “whatever what am I supposed to do, kill my own kid wtf is wrong with you” so he just raises him as normal, doesn’t even tell him about the prophecy, and instead of some convoluted twist of events that leads to the king’s murder the son grows up and when the king is very old and dying and in excruciating pain the kid is just like alright I'mma put him out of his misery.

a woman holding her boob should be considered a neutral pensive gesture like when a man scratches his beard

Okay ummm did the journalists misunderstand the term plot twist? Or did they just not guess the very obvious plots?

[whitecanarrow]

ok but so far this ep is playing out exactly how everyone has been thinking it would… where are the twists??

It’s good and emotional, but I feel let down by the way the journalists built it up. Maybe the second half will surprise me?

My favourite part of reading about people starting to watch 9-1-1 is when they go "i know y'all said Buddie were like that but I didn't think they were like THAT".

Because no matter how unhinged we managed to make them sound, actually watching Buddie scenes happen in front of you in the show is absolutely batshit insane. It's truly a once-in-a lifetime-you-won't-believe-it-until-you-see-it kinda thing 😭

ADORE HER

Super rare male friendship on tv

VS

Slow-burn over several seasons, friends to lovers between two guys (neither of which was introduced as queer)

nothing more embarassing than when you develop personal beef with a piece of media thats entirely petty. like sorry no i cant talk about that show it. bit me.

a few unpopular opinions on shipping based on my returning interest in active fandoms…

- ships don’t need to be canon or on the way to canon for people to enjoy shipping them. so many of my ships over the years have been pairings the writers would never do or weird crossovers from completely unrelated media. Ship purists, it’s okay. fans and fic writers do not write the show. It doesn’t hurt you when people ship non-canon things. (Other shippers, it’ll be unideal but also okay if your ship doesn’t go canon. there’s always fanfic. doesn’t make your ship less valid)

- AO3 needs a way for authors to distinguish between primary ship & secondary/background ships (& a way to filter searches for primary ship)

- Until you’ve been in the trenches of soap fandom, you have probably not seen the worst of ship wars 😂

- for the love of all the gods, more f/f fic needs to be written

- showrunners stop framing shit romantically if you don’t want people to ship it challenge level: impossible but necessary.

- “we need more platonic male friendship” is kind of a bad faith argument when most of the ships people have in mind when they say it are ships that, in canon, only ever stayed strong, platonic male friendships. Also I can think of like 20 examples of male friendships I don’t ship off the top of my head
