I Swear To God I Started This Days Before The S08E08.

Pretty sure you don't get to call our entire fandom homophobic or a cult when it's become a battle cry for your fandom to scream out canon anytime anyone so much as hints at Eddie being anything but straight. Also let's not forget that multiple people in your fandom attacked anyone who tried to celebrate Eddie and Buddie for pride month including journalists who review the show and the 911news account. Oh and as for being a cult. You can call Buddie a cult when we all all start posting pictures of ourselves dressed in a shirt we bought that we saw Ryan wear one time in a video we paid $200 for.

Absolutely amazing how AO3 is a part of the internet that doesn't sneak in any ads and doesn't have an algorithm and doesn't watch you or record how much time you spend looking at each fic or whatever. It's just right there to use for free. Legend

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.

That double interview made me cackle honestly. Almost like they needed a way for Oliver to talk about Buck and Tommy. Instead of buddie.

Oliver needed like a court mandate to force him to talk about that ship.😝 I'm positive he's loving the bi Buck storyline and he's been doing amazing with it but I also believe he wants to see Buddie happen more than all of us. It's not B/T we see him always talking about and posting on ig.

This whole Tommy Kinard fiasco is the perfect example of how male-centric fandom is bc female LIs have been hated and had every kind of poison thrown at them (some even written in fics) for being much much much much much less of a shitty person. Ana was literally just a woman who made one potentially ableist comment and people were writing her as if she was an absolute MONSTER. Like can you imagine if Ana had a racist/sexist past? If she left Eddie on the curb for not being ready to date for whatever reason? If she almost outed someone through a shitty joke? If she consistently was shown to not give a single rat about what Eddie likes? People would be making petitions to have her executed in canon. And yet Tommy fucking Kinard has done every single one of those things in canon and he’s got one of the most rabid and annoying fanbase ever. Just bc he’s a white man who was kissing another man.

no one is doing it like katniss everdeen and peeta mellark. they have it ALL. fake dating. enemies to lovers. rivals to lovers. friends to lovers. star-crossed lovers. opposites attract. hurt-comfort. nightmare induced bed sharing. shared trauma. guy falls first. sunshine & grumpy. childhood crush.

everyone say thank you suzanne.

I know it's not everyone who watched the og 911 also watches lone star, but every time I see some grand spec about the point of Gerrard I think to myself "you guys do know this is coming from the guy who had a evil captain plot in ls where Charlie Swan takes over the 126 then the most dragged out premiere event ever happens and the whole thing is solved because of some rich dude who sells milk cartons right?" I think we should all bring our expectations back down.
