There Are Two Wolves Inside You: One Wants Period Movies To Be More Popular So That They'll Make More

Eddie: I'm like rapunzel except, instead of letting my hair down, I'm letting everyone else down.

Buck: Well, I'm like tinkerbell. I need attention, or I die.

I really need them to change tao’s hair.. like really ITS NOT EVEN LIKE THAT IN THE COMICS WTF

aliceoseman: Heartstopper Season 2 is in production!! Those of you who are comic readers have some idea of what to expect, but there are plenty of surprises in store too. But for now… we’ve got work to do!! À bientôt! 🍂🎬

I swear to god I started this days before the S08E08.

But I do love being correct about them calling each other. And Buck dumping pastries on Eddie.

Shout out to @fraddit, who has compiled an amazing reference set for Eddie's house, which I didn't end up using as much as I thought, except for the outside.

I feel like initially most people were on the same page about Tommy Kinnard, they were like ok let's see where it goes and we got Bi Buck!! Like, in April, I was on top of the world bc of Bi Buck, and I was so excited for him and eager to see where it goes, even the ones who didn't want him for Buck from the start were indifferent to him.

But I feel like the divide and the ship wars intensified was when people started using the "healthy male friendship" and "why can't two men just be friends" argument against Buddie, we have hundreds, if not thousands of those in pop culture and homophobes often use this argument against lgbt rep, so to see a group, some if not most of which are queer themselves use the same argument is off putting.

Then, whether you're his fan or a hater, you gotta agree that Tommy's character is a blank slate, he's not been given much to do, besides a few moments, and a significant part of that is him being racist and sexist to two fan favourite characters: Chim and Hen respectively (similarly people disliked Taylor for what she did to Bobby, the redemption and forgiveness before she started dating Buck was implied but it's not enough). Other than that he doesn't have a lot of qualities. And what happens is fans project a lot of things on him. What made me abandon the Tevan ship was people "stealing" Eddie's character traits and projecting it onto Tommy, while labelling him a terrible mentally insane father who uses Buck for his own gain, yada yada yada. And I love Buck and Eddie equally, so to me that was irritating.

Also, since he doesn't have many character traits, his lines, which are intended as sassy can come off as him being a dismissive and condescending dick.

Then for the off screen side of things, we were constantly told Buck is straight, by the actors and the showrunner but everyone was like eh whatever, and then our headcannons were proven right, but suddenly theorising about Eddie and that a lot of queer people including myself identify with him is looked down on if not straight up mocked, and that the canon storylines are the only ones that matter have made the fandom a bit toxic.

Buddies are often accused of blindly hating on Tommy, so I feel like I should lay it out as to why a lot of us went from being indifferent or open to the guy to straight up hating him.

“Father figure” was the last of Batman’s essential elements to manifest, and it is the first aspect to be jettisoned by writers, filmmakers, and television showrunners whenever they wish to tell Batman’s tale anew. In a bid to keep the storytelling simple, they strip him of his familial context and take him back to the dark, brooding loner of this very first year.

But Robin always comes back, eventually, in some form, because he must: Robin is half the story.

Despite what many fans believe so fervently, the Batman of that very first year isn’t truly Batman—not yet. Robin serves to define and delineate Batman, as do Batgirl, Nightwing, Huntress, and the others. Batman’s status as the ultimate mentor is a base principle, inasmuch as it speaks directly to who he is: he saves others because, on one terrible night long ago, there was no one to save him.

can we all agree that markus was toxic asf

I cannot watch this not me video without crying 😭💚🫶

it wasn't just Buck trying to dig Eddie up by hand. it was Bobby bodily dragging him off the ground and Buck sobbing in his arms. it was Hen and Chim giving him the spousal treatment. it was Bobby looking at him with an understanding of grief. it was Hen saying there will be two cut lines if Buck went down. it would have been rough but simpler if it was just Buck digging at the earth. it became much more because everyone else knew what that meant.

I mean.. he is the son of the original hulk yk

Oliver is big, right? He's built like a damn industrial refrigerator. But Lou is

Lou is MASSIVE

I'm about to be such an insufferable slut on Thursday and I'm not even sorry

calling buddie shippers mlm fetishizers is crazy when we've been rooting for them, their friendship, and loving their trust in each other and their family dynamic with chris for 6 years. if anything... you know what, I'm gonna stay quiet 🤐
