karen puts mistletoe up in several doorways of the wilson house anytime hen walks under it she's like "oh nooo look! you're under mistletoe!! guess we have to kiss 👀" and hen rolls her eyes but smiles and grabs karen's waist to pull her close and kisses her deeply, tipping her back into a little dip.

thinking again about how everyone, even the rest of the characters and buck himself, fundamentally misunderstanding who Buck 1.0 was and his motivations. because yes, he was a flirt who slept around a LOT but never in any of his interactions with these women does he display fuckboy or playboy behavior. everyone has this idea that he was this man whore running around breaking women's hearts left and right because he didn't respect them and only wanted sex. and they believed this so hard that Buck believed it.

except that first scene we get with Buck stealing the firetruck to sleep w the first girl, he's the one who gets rejected when he tries to make it anything deeper. and it right out the gate tells the audience that this is someone so stupidly desperate for affection that he's looking for it in all the wrong places and actively sabotaging his career to make it happen because he doesn't know how else to find it. because no one else has ever wanted that with him.

and idk so much of the fandom has (imo) accurately clocked the sex as a form of self harm as well - a new way of using his body to get attention because his parents aren't around to care when he throws himself into oncoming traffic anymore

and I just get really in my feelings about it because no one in his life GETS it. eddie comes closest but he's missing so much key context and I just want so badly for the show to circle back to this in some way but I know they'll never do it right

Buck thought Eddie was watching p*rn at the kitchen table and really said oooh lemme see! 👀😂

Everyone needs a sicko to bounce ideas off of. It's necessary to survive any fandom ever.

Am I the only one who feels spoiled by reading Tamora Pierce as a child and then never finding something that hit quite the same? She really had it all. One of the only authors I’ve seen do multiple generations well (because the previous generations aren’t just offed or all of their progress backtracked). Ambient vs scholarly magic systems is still one of the coolest magic systems to this day. The friendships are perfect and just the right amount of romance to make it fun. Redemption stories that fit the characters and don’t make them perfect angels even as they grow for the better. Tragic regression stories that haunt the characters (and me).

Transphobia is so antithetical to genuine feminism it blows my mind there's such a wide overlap like you either believe in autonomy and self determination or you don't

[withthewerewolves]

my liege we your council would not advise this course of action but we all agree it would be pretty funny regardless

i do think it's simplistic to think that helena and ramon don't care about chris. i think they're wrong for like 90% of how they go about things but for them to just be 100% evil would make it too neat and less interesting. i think they do care and that's the worst part because then eddie has to confront the fact that his parents could have been caring and kind and thoughtful all along, they just weren't with him. you see this a lot actually IRL where people with bad parents have kids and the parents having mellowed out with age or even fuelled by the regret of having fucked up in the past are great grandparents which really hurts. because the good place voice they could have changed all along you just weren't worth changing for.

I NEED buck to finally look up the kinsey scale and come into work the next day ready and eager to interrogate everyone about where precisely they would place themselves

plot twist: he reads all the options out to bobby and bobby cheerfully declares himself a 1, as he's had some incidental gay thoughts. this saves eddie from having to come up with an answer as the rest of the shift becomes about everyone pointing at men and asking bobby if he thinks they're hot
