#evan buckley but it's just him progressively getting more unhinged over eddie

[cranberrymoons]

okay so my 'Eddie was always intended to be Buck's love interest' conspiracy theory starts with the fact that he and maddie as a duo were the direct replacement for abby – maddie is a replacement for the Main Character At Dispatch and eddie is the Main Character Love Interest 😌 in his first few episodes he is intro'd as a queer-coded character – women aren't his type, he gets clocked by a christmas elf, even Pepa assumes buck is More Than A Friend when she meets him at the hospital – and eddie doesn't deny it!!! not really. he says :) he's a friend <3 in that way you do when your nosy older relative is prying into your love life, but he fully knows what she's implying when she asks about buck and this is a hill I will die on.

ALSO buck and eddie both spend all of season 2-3 and most of season 4 getting closer to each other and being weird about each other without significantly dating anyone else until something ~mysteriously shifted~ mid-S4. also related is my conspiracy theory that albert was originally supposed to be buck’s bi awakening which would have made his car accident even more devastating than it already was!!!!!!!!!!! anyway. :)

you're laughing. beloved network tv show 911's resident single dad with repressed homosexuality is dating three people at once and you're laughing.

there’s not a mfer in this world I’ve ever respected more than 2009 dan. that was a mastermind. a man on a mission. he had one shot and he knew he had to take it. now he walks into the kitchen of the forever home he shares with the subject of “did you ever doubt your dream would come true” and gets greeted with “hello you stupid bitch”

[dcvina-claires]

i can’t believe not one but two characters said “i know what you are” to ronan in the dream thieves and somehow neither of them were referring to his homosexual tendencies

I think my favorite part of TSC is that we get the counterpoint of Jeremy's POV.

Not only because it's funny (it is) or because I love Jeremy (I do), but because it drives home the themes of AFTG in a way that Neil or even Jean's POVs cannot.

With Neil, we get the upperclassmen, but for the most part everyone he interacts with is so steeped in the mafia plot and the ravens, but also just so much abuse that we as the readers get kind of stewed into seeing things from Neil's perspective. It's why we have to remember that Neil is an unreliable narrator. (It's not a bug, it's a feature btw; I love Neil's batshit view of the world)

But with Jeremy, it gets thrown into stark relief that it does not have to be like this.The Trojans practice, and they go home. Exy is not a metaphor to them, or a lifeline, or an obligation; it is an activity. They have lives. They have friends outside of Exy, something Neil does not have.

So, I watch a lot of college gymnastics. I love the sport, but (like all sports), there is the looming specter of abuse. Every year, it seems like another coach is discovered to have abused their athletes. Weight tracking, emotional abuse, physical abuse and intimidation. Its something you weigh when you're a college sports fan, knowing on some level that this thing you enjoy on some level enables this. 

And it makes me think of the line in TSC:

“What we don’t understand is how a grown-ass man took a bunch of kids and turned them into monsters for sport.”

Because this is what Neil's POV can't give us. Neil, and Kevin and Jean, the stakes are higher because of the mafia plot, it's true. But SO MANY OTHER ravens were just normal kids who got destroyed so some adults could make money and have a little bit of glory. 

And, to be clear, this isn't a place to be like “and this is why I don't watch sports” because it's EVERYWHERE. In music, TV, school theater and choir- anywhere there is a power dynamic, there is the potential for abuse. 

And by providing the counterpoint from the Trojans, it becomes even more apparent how unnecessary it all is.
