I think they deserve to hug more

honestly i think the fact that buck seeks approval and wants to feel like he’s useful to the people around him and that that impulse comes from a long history of being abandoned and neglected can coexist with the fact that buck feels a very genuine drive to help people with no ulterior motive. i think what it comes down to is that buck knows what it’s like to be very lonely and so he goes out of his way to make other people feel like they have someone there for them, because that’s something he didn’t have for a long time, to really no benefit of his own other than it makes him feel good to help people. and this is not me negating that buck can be very insecure, but i just don’t think his entire personality is some kind of manipulation tactic. because even at buck’s most secure and comfortable, that’s his instinct. it’s a fundamental part of his who he is, not just a front.

BUCK: I love the term 'partners'. Are we dating? Are we robbing a bank? Are we two supposedly straight firefighters who are raising a child together? Who knows.

#he really said we cope through humor

You know how everyone has heard a slightly different version of the same Greek myth? Like there’s a version we’re Icarus falls in love with Apollo and there’s a version were he knows the wings aren’t gonna hold but keeps flying anyway and a version were he doesn’t hear his fathers warning. In one version of the story, Athena is punishing Medusa, in another she’s giving her a gift. There’s a story where Hades kidnaps Persephone and one where he helps her escape from her mother. All the same myths but told in different ways depending on who tells them and to whom. Slightly different morals to gain from them but always the same basic concept.

And I just think it’s so fitting that the same is happening with the pjo show. Details change! In this version, Annabeth’s dad loves her from the beginning. In this version, they enter Medusa’s house knowing who she is. And this changes the meaning to reflect the time in which the story is told, and the people who tell it. Myths are meant to be retold again and again, thats the beauty of them. It doesn’t mean that one version is better than the other. And I love that Rick Riordan said I’ve told this story before, but what do I want to say this time? And he squeezes so much meaning into it!

honestly when buddie goes canon im gonna be so nasty like i will not be a nice person
