Red, White And Royal Blue (2023) + Text Posts

I just watched The Rookie 2x11. There was a parallel between Bones and 911 in this episode. To save the love of your life by digging them from under the mud with your bare hands. Ahhh this is true romance and it will never get old

Peak moment of the Episode where

Buck: you should talk to him *points up*

Eddie: God???!????

Buck: No, Bobby

inspired by tags (x x) on this

Reasons for Evan Diaz:

Buckley Parents suck and Maddie is now a Han so not Family ties needed

Same last name as Chris

Makes calling him Buck a mystery and I find that funny

So we've got

- New, more progressive network

- Showrunner change (aka the Buddie hater is gone)

- Tim posting a bunch of Buddie stills on his facebook before the season even started airing

- ABC choosing Oliver and Ryan to do most of the promo stuff and mostly together

- This picture (just the fact that they took one just the two of them)

- So many interviews talking about Buck and Eddie's relationship

- A bunch of quotes from Ryan including: "we get closer than ever this season", "there's a lot of changes in the relationship", "we're trying to give the audience what they want", "the writers have taken note"

- Tim's use of "right now"

- Tim talking about Tommy as if he's not sticking around forever

- The underlying sexual tension line

- The "you're not planning on jumping ship are you?"

- Eddie being so involved in Buck's self discovery storyline (even when it's indirectly)

- Family Feud???

- Buck being canonically bi

And I'm not supposed to think Buddie is going canon??

im thinking about the “peeta forced katniss into their relationship” take because. it irritates me.

first of all, no he didn’t. she had the choice not to engage with him further and she chose to do so. yes her life was on the line — but it wasn’t peeta’s confession that put her in that position, it was the capitol’s use of it for further entertainment. peeta’s intent with his confession was only give her an edge in the competition, not to somehow force her to fall in love with him in a situation in which he fully expected to die. going into the hunger games with the motivation of finding love would be a truly insane thing to do. peeta genuinely believes she can win, so he’s doing all he can do help her, both out of legitimate love and admiration for her, but also out of an honest belief in her survival skills. he’s not trying to date her; he’s trying to save her life.

but also like, even disregarding all the outside pressure, he had legitimate reason to believe she liked him back? because even before his confession she: talks about watching him in the market (my fav scene because like, okay katniss) and noticing his wrestling score, she kisses him on the cheek, she gets offended when he asks to be coached separately — it’s clear that even before peeta says he likes her that katniss is interested in him. obviously she rationalizes all of this because she’s katniss, but if we were watching this from anyones perspective but her own, we’d probably assume she liked him? i mean why does haymitch say “well well well” after they talk each other up? because he NOTICED. that’s where the star crossed lovers strategy begins. not with peetas confession but with haymitch watching them hype each other up and being like “oh damn they like each other” and haymitch being smart enough to realize that only genuine love can defeat the capitol!!!

anyway obviously i do not believe k/p was ever a one sided thing, not even before the games. peeta couldnt have forced her to like him by doing anything because she already did like him, she just didn’t know it. they both admired each other from afar and that’s why things “would have happened anyway” as katniss tells us. the games didn’t force them to be together, they made it difficult to sort out what was REAL OR NOT REAL! and what does katniss tell us in the very last line? it was all REAL.

The fact that David Tennant could have asked for the opening skit to be all about Dr. Who (allegedly his most broadly known work and also the most recently aired) and bring Catherine Tate or any other celebrity friend as his guest star…

Yet he still chose to do it about a very niche work like Staged, prominently featuring Michael Sheen, while subjecting the entire industry (not just Britain media) to their weirdly intimate dynamic…

Just wow. Power move. They’re a set, do not separate.

I see no difference in these two scenes

Sees his boyfriend being flirted with, gets jealous, goes to shut it down and claim his man!

Eddie and Carlos have NO CHILL

Now I know I did not just see that a bt fan messaged Tim for tmmy to have his own spin off show with buck 😭😭 there’s insane and there’s INSANE

I need people to hear me out:

Colin Bridgerton is NOT this type of male lead:

He is this type of male lead:

And I love that.
