I Love My Comfort Show

FUCK. He really just… did that ig????????

WHY DOES IT END THERE HELLO?????? I WANT MORE??????

About to watch the first episode of DD:BA guys wish me luck!!!

Yeah same, this is exactly why i think they might make us wait until next season to actually get them together: there’s just (possibly) too much buildup to do in just half a season. But hey, if we get canon buddie im really not that picky about when :)

ok so not really criticism but a bit of concern: how will the show make it obvious to the audience that Eddie has feelings, is queer and this has been going on for a bit? Or how will they show it believably that he just realized all of that in his 30s?

Like to me it is so obvious, and they have been setting it up for at least half a season now. There are hints in the show (him being ultra monogamous & catholic about relationships and not having true chemistry/romantic feelings for most of his female partners, they're more of an obligation) and it makes so much sense to me that he's a repressed gay man, and the acting supports that. But it's harder to see/believe if you contrast that with Buck's realization who has been making googly eyes at everything and everyone, and is an open book, wears his heart on his sleeve. A casual audience will be able to go back and see it. They won't immediately see it when they look at Eddie, because the acting is way subtler and the queercoding more subtextual as of now, the queerness is in the narrative and possible feelings are explicitly labelled as a deep platonic bond between friends.

Which, in and of itself, no problem! There have been wilder revelations in film and tv with no textual buildup that have been very believable. It all hinges on how the show explains and shows it to the audience. I just don't know if I can trust this show to do a storyline like this justice? Like having someone have a multi-layered revelation and solve some of their emotional struggles within the span of a few episodes. Am I making sense? I love the characters and how they've been portrayed, but I might have grown overprotective of them. I just don't see yet how the show will do it in a believable way. It's one of the reasons I hope they let us steam a bit longer and go for it in the next season

The love I have for this Thurvishar guy is too much to handle.

okay, so it's bothering me a little how a lot of people are talking about ryan's acting, and i wanted to give my two cents on it.

for me, it's pretty clear where ryan is going with his acting choices, especially after what he said on the podcast. but for some reason, people are acting as if eddie's lack of emotion is just ryan being a bad actor. i might agree with that in other scenarios, but this time? no. i’d say that even though his performance isn’t oscar-worthy, he's still doing a great job portraying what’s happening with eddie.

which is: he's repressing the hell out of his feelings.

and we can see that—there are a few instances where his mask slips.

when he learns that buck is going to sublet his house, he can't keep his emotions at bay. in my opinion, he realizes in that moment that he has someone who genuinely loves him and would do anything for him, which just makes things even harder. so, he tries to repress his feelings even more.

when buck brings up the subject of him moving again while they’re searching for maddie, his façade almost slips when he says, "it isn't nothing." but again, he pushes his feelings down. it’s obvious he’s exhausted from thinking about it and fighting about it with buck.

and finally, when they say goodbye, ryan does something so subtle that if you blink, you’d miss it—eddie’s smile falters just a little, and his eyebrow twitches while they’re hugging.

so yeah, it’s obvious that eddie is going through it and trying his hardest to keep his feelings locked away. to really understand eddie right now, it's important to keep in mind what ryan said in that podcast about reading between the lines—and also remember that while buck is really expressive with his feelings, eddie is the complete opposite.

ngl im genuinely so delighted by how pathetic the uhaul in the rain scene was

Need a 911 fic where Buck hits his head and is disoriented and confused when he wakes up. He thinks him and Eddie are dating.

Not because he has an amnesia or anything, but because Ravi was the one helping jog his memory and nothing Ravi knows about the 118 is right.

I love how intrigued Kamala looks, like you know she is considering the pros and cons😭😭

i just had a dream in which Kamala Harris teamed up with Deadpool and Wolverine and they took down Trump at the final elections

I am not okay 😭
