things end, and they end, and they end. and we have to keep going anyway.
what now
in dear john taylor saying “i should’ve known” vs would’ve could’ve should’ve, when she doesn’t say what she should have done because she knows that she was only a kid and it was his responsibility to know better
actually i’m not done slating the show yet. WHY was hen’s main storyline this season about denny’s dad and a boy needing his father, and then she and karen only got 0.2 seconds to be happy about a new foster kid????

I soo agree with everything that's been said here. I would just love to give them a list of moments and ask them: So this was all in our minds? I don't believe it. Of course they have great chemistry and that shows but there were also writing choices, storylines that definitely had eddie and buck on a path to more than friendship
it fr feels like gaslighting😭 like why are you telling me i’m imagining things when it’s there in full colour on my tv???

So irritating that some people are now saying buddie was never developed in the show, only outside of it, so we have nothing to be disappointed about. This wasn't all in our heads, there were so many amazing moments between them that NOW they choose to ignore. Also their separate character growth... buck's professional growth was definitely shown in the finale but personally/romantically? Same old mistakes. And I think it's only natural to be disappointed by that when we had come so far until this point. It's not like we're in s1 with this show
oh no, the show runners definitely made buddie seem like a possibility. like of course we read too much into a lot of things, but to have eddie so tied into the couch metaphor only for it to end with natalia? to have them both be the people who see each other in their worst moments and stay anyway, only for them to end up with two strangers? to have eddie tell buck that dating someone he rescued was a bad idea, only to have them BOTH date someone they rescued? to recycle the same shitty storylines and expect us to believe they somehow have better endings this time?
it genuinely feels like they didn’t give us buddie to specifically spite us, because nothing about the narrative they’ve created in these last few eps makes sense.

tbh I might have been ok with the natalia storyline if it had been another way of showing buck what doesn't work for him, that he needs to pick his couch by himself, that he already has people in his life who see him etc but the fact that they're serious about this makes me not wanna watch it. Like, have they forgotten the past six seasons? Oliver being excited about them in season 7 makes me sad, buck deserves better
you’re so right that buck deserves better. buck’s whole thing is that he always feels like the one who’s getting left behind, and then to have natalia leave him when his LIFE is “too complicated”, only to have her come running back after he has another near DEATH experience is just….icky

That's the thing, I wasn't even in the buddie fandom and caught on to it by watching the show. It was SO obvious! Why are they now acting like it never happened. There were so many meaningful scenes that cannot be explained away and by this buck&natalia eddie& marisol ending, they're ending a lot of character growth
they’ve spent six seasons building the most beautiful, meaningful relationship between the two of them. i have no idea how they expected two random women, with like 5 minutes of screen time combined, to even come close to what they share with each other

I don't know why they had eddie look at buck so insulted when he said "I feel like she really sees me" when apparently it had no meaning? They're actually serious about buck and natalia. In a new interview oliver is pushing their relationship in s7, her bringing "light" to him (I see none of that??) and he's excited she's here to stay. It feels so weird. Like at least 4 seasons of development for buck (and a lot of eddie moments) meant nothing
YES??? like you tie eddie and buck together so much, all of their biggest moments involve each other, and somehow this random woman who’s only interested in the novelty of buck’s death is the person he’s meant to be with?
Anonymous asked:
The fact that this could have been the series finale makes it even worse. They see THIS as buck's endgame? That's horrible. After years of growth and highlighting his importance in eddie's and chris's life, he ends up with a woman who was only interested in his death, who doesn't get him at all and who gets to start over with him (new couch and all)? Doesn't make any sense to me. Even a certain death and him raising that baby alone would have been a better story
oh absolutely!! like really, you’ve spent six seasons on his character arc trying to prove how much he’s grown and changed, and then end it like this?? like this is the exact opposite of what he’s been saying he wants

There's no way to sugarcoat it anymore, they've been queerbaiting the fans. While I would love to see buddie canon, I appreciate buck and eddie's friendship as it is but... there were so so many hints, parallels, looks that can't be explained with friendship and they let everyone run in that direction. If they were still alone, that would be fine, putting them into relationships that make no sense is worse
oh i completely agree!! they’ve been sprinkling in enough buddie to make us (and even the general audience) believe that it’s a possibility, so that we keep watching and hoping for it. & then instead of going down the natural, authentic route that’s presented itself, they yet again force hollow relationships onto both of them. especially after the graveyard scene where eddie told buck that dating someone he’d rescued was a bad idea. it’s honestly not even about buddie!! it’s about forcing these characters through so much trauma, having them grow through it & develop, and then having all of that development thrown away, time and time again, to force them into relationships that just don’t work. that actively go AGAINST their character arcs for the entire season.
