If by some miracle sweet potato Hitler doesn't win come the end of the week, this won't be necessary, but should he win here are some of the first things to be aware of or do.
If you know a trans person, no you don't. Respect them as best you can in private but you know nothing in public.
Be aware that TikTok will likely be banned, find new platforms to spread information. Fuck Twitter and what ever tiktok replacement he's working on.
Learn to Garden, even in winter so you can feed yourself should prices skyrocket
Get an air purifier. The Clean Air Act is likely to be stripped of its power with the EPA deregulated, air quality is going to suffer
Should you have kids, try to supplement history/social studies education. That's the first place they will attack, if you need help ask, history teacher will help
Try and do what you can to be aware of your health before January.
Help one another. That's the best way we can move forward and make change in the future.
To any parents out there who’s dealing with their children coming out, telling everyone in your family about it without asking your kid’s permission first is not acceptable. You can’t just do someone’s coming out for them. And saying "It’s because it’s hard for me, I need to talk to someone" is not a good reason. Try thinking about their feelings. It’s way harder for them than it is for you. Can you imagine how stressful it’s going to be for them to go to family gatherings, knowing that everyone knows and might not be okay with it? No, you can’t. So shut up and be a good parent instead.
I’m at that point in life where I just don’t care and I shamelessly traumatize my friends by telling them about the fics I read about, destroying their image of me instantly.
The horror on their face is gold tho, so it’s all worth it.
About 9-1-1 season 8 episode 15…
Not sure about you guys but personally, I think it’s kind of weird of them to make an april fools episode so late into the month.
Because it is a joke, right? Like, say sike rn, I’m not playing
Venom 4 but it’s just venom and eddie reuniting (venom is the cockroach trust me on this), have a very detailed sex scene, sleeper is born, then the last hour and a half is just them trying to figure out how to raise a symbiote child and start a family like they wanted. Post credit scene is dylan being introduced
Okay so most of us are expecting (more like hoping but wtv) to have buddie becoming canon this season. Season 8 is expected to be around 18 episodes or so, episode 4 comes out tonight (I have yet to watch it), but if it's really to become canon in s8, I do not want it to happen before the second half of the season and that's being generous. Don't get me wrong, I want them to get together as much as anyone, but if I see it happen in 3 episodes imma be real disappointed. As long as it happen, the longer it takes, the better tbh.
Now, why is that? Well, there's still a lot of things that needs to happen first;
Eddie needs to come out as queer (gay, bi, doesn't matter, as long as he comes out as queer and realizes he likes men)
Buck and Tommy need to break up (I refuse to have buddie start on a cheating scandal. God knows we've had more than enough of that storyline not just in media in general but in 911 as well. Not to mention Eddie literally just got out of one)
Both Buck and Eddie need to realize they have feelings for each other
And finally, they get together
Some of these can happen at the same time, like Eddie could realize he likes men by having the realization he likes Buck. Hell, that could happen before Buck and Tommy break up, giving us some good old jealous Eddie with "one-sided" pining and "unrequited" love (for now). Point is, as long as it doesn't start on a cheating arc, we're good.
If all this happen in 3 episodes, I'm genuinely going to be mad. It's just going to feel rushed and I'm pretty sure most of us would hate that. It needs to be a slow burn. The slowest slow burn ever seen. It could be beautiful.
Which is why I think they need to become canon at least during the second half of the season minimum. The latter the better.
That's not to say they can't have feelings for each other before that though. By them becoming canon I mean them actually starting a relationship. They can pine, they can flirt, they can have their own angsty moment thinking it's unrequited. But actually legit dating?? No. That needs time. It's just going to be better in the end.
If you were to ask me what my best case scenario would be, it'd pretty much go something like Eddie realizes he likes Buck (and consequently men, or vice-versa) while Buck is still dating Tommy, causing him to have to deal with his feelings while still trying to be supportive. Then Buck and Tommy break up for an unrelated reason (I'd like to mention that while I know a lot of people dislike Tommy, this is Buck's first queer relationship and I want it to be a good experience over all for him so an amicable break up sounds better to me but that's just my personal opinion on the matter) leaving Eddie kinda relieved but also trying to be good supportive friend. Then it's Buck's turn to realize he has feelings for Eddie. Cue some moments of pining and flirting, that can go on for more than one episode, ideally a few. While this happen, they can both talk about it with other people, like Buck with Maddie for exemple. Then something happen and they realize their feelings are mutual. Now, would they get together then or would they try to take things slow depends on how it plays out.
That's just how I like to imagine it happening. I'd love for it to last a while before they actually start dating, or at least before they make they relationship official enough to tell the others about it. But I might be biased because I've always been a sucker for a well made slow burn.
Anyways, those are just my thoughts on the matter, we'll see how it actually goes (if they become canon at all).
Still manifesting buddie becoming canon, if not dating then let at least one of them canonically have feelings so we can start going somewhere eventually
Hear me out on a character who can break the fourth wall, but like, is really bad at it.
Like he’s in a game, but he thinks he’s in a tv show.
Or he knows he’s in a show, but he thinks he’s in season 6 when it’s actually just been 2 seasons.
Watch him try to look at the camera to speak to the audience, but he’s never able to actually find it. He just keeps on looking at random directions and starts talking to the audience but it’s never the actual direction of the camera so he’s never actually looking at us.
The other characters in his universe can’t break the fourth wall but they can very much see him trying to break it. They just leave him in his delusions… no matter how close to the truth he actually is, even if they don’t believe him.
Just think it’d be really funny and seems like a nice twist to the trope
Can we all just end the "What’s Yamato’s gender/pronouns in One Piece?" debate already?
Yes, Yamato is afab, but he still considers himself a man. I don’t care what the vivre card says, Yamato canonically uses masc pronouns in both the manga and the anime. Kaido calls him his son. Hell, Yamato even went to the MEN’s bathroom!
So please let’s just end it there. In canon, Yamato used masc pronouns and considers himself a male, so let’s just do that. It’s not that hard. I never understood why this debate was even a thing to begin with tbh
Don’t mind me, I’m just bullshitting my way through life
