Bobby Nash dad through and through. only a dad repeatedly drops a bizarre piece of self lore that has somehow never come up in years and walks away. oh you were a childhood figure skating champion? oh your mom is a televangelist? and also not dead? your wife just found this out too? this is the guy whose known lore has a body count in the triple digits btw. I love Bobby so bad

“i never see you at the club” ok well i never see you on ao3 at 2am reading about the same two bitches falling in love for the 1000th time in the 500th way

BUDDIE ★ EDDIE'S WORDS OF AFFIRMATION (S08E09 + S08E10)

hollywood's insistence on portraying people with (presumably) DID as inherently violent or dangerous is genuinely cruel and harmful to the understanding of an already misunderstood and misrepresented community. it's the lowest of lowhanging fruit, targeting an already vulnerable population. people with DID (or any other "scary" mental illness) are not inherently dangerous or violent. they're not serial killers. or abusers. they just are. this has been a psa

hot take but its possible to enjoy the angst of buck being sad wet dog abandoned in the rain AND acknowledge that his grief is not Eddie's responsibility and that eddie is in fact not a horrible person for putting his son first by leaving and maybe some of yall need to stop infantilizing a fully grown man again

but an episode titled buddie begins tho. but an episode titled buddie begins. okay but imagine an episode titled buddie begins. think about it. buddie begins.

listen I don't even need buck to hook up with a ton of people, I just need one person to come back to his place with him, hot and ready to go, and they're flirting, making out a little, and just moving through the house, and buck goes to make them a drink or smth while his date stays in the living room for a moment, and they look around themselves, take in the decor, and the pictures on the wall, and when buck comes back they've got their jacket back on and are on their way to the door going "oh my god, I can't do this" and buck's like "wait what?? what do you mean???" but his date just keeps walking, and only right after they've set foot outside, they turn to look him dead in the eye, a shaken yet pissed expression on their face, and go "I don't sleep with married men, okay?"

and then they slam the door in his face and buck's just standing there, staring into nothingness as his mind spins out of control like it never has before.
