Something About Eddie Starting The Episode By Saying He Wants Chris To Choose Him And Ending The Episode

honestly i think the fact that buck seeks approval and wants to feel like he’s useful to the people around him and that that impulse comes from a long history of being abandoned and neglected can coexist with the fact that buck feels a very genuine drive to help people with no ulterior motive. i think what it comes down to is that buck knows what it’s like to be very lonely and so he goes out of his way to make other people feel like they have someone there for them, because that’s something he didn’t have for a long time, to really no benefit of his own other than it makes him feel good to help people. and this is not me negating that buck can be very insecure, but i just don’t think his entire personality is some kind of manipulation tactic. because even at buck’s most secure and comfortable, that’s his instinct. it’s a fundamental part of his who he is, not just a front.

BUCK: I love the term 'partners'. Are we dating? Are we robbing a bank? Are we two supposedly straight firefighters who are raising a child together? Who knows.

The way Penelope thought Colin was asking her to come up to his room for a dick down and she was fully ready to accept but her only worry was that she wouldn’t be able to sneak in without being caught 😭

Can we talk about how “Uncle Buck” was never a thing before Jee-Yun? I mean, if we analyze the facts, we’ll see that Buck has been there for Eddie and Chris pretty much since day one. He cooks, he cleans, he plays with him, he stays overnight, takes him when Eddie’s busy, takes him to places, gives him gifts and helps when he’s not feeling well, I mean he LITERALLY saved him from a tsunami -and nearly killed himself trying to find him-. This shit is so fucking canon Eddie added Buck to his WILL, he told him “there’s no one I trust with my son more than you” over the women that he allegedly cared for and loved so much… we never hear anything remotely close to uncle or “friend of the family”. Even in the crossover when Eddie talks to Marjan about Buck helping him build the skateboard, he never explains who Buck is (which, if I were in that situation, I’d say “this blonde dude, yeah he’s like family too”), he simply says Buck, because that on ITSELF (!!!!) says it all. Y’all can give me all the shit y’all want but Uncle Buck was never a thing before Jee-Yun, because he was never an uncle before. He was a dad. A co-parent. And if he was a woman, Eddie & him would’ve been together long before all our crazy asses decided to even come here so that’s that on that & goodnight

TELL ME WHY CHARLIE EATING HIS SNACK IS THE CUTEST THING IVE EVER SEEN🥹🥹🥹❤️

people talk about how jason must’ve been the biggest menace in the batfam as a street kid

but at the age of 9 dick was literally planning a revenge murder and had No regard for bruce’s orders or authority as a parent

tim was a rich kid that wouldn’t know adult supervision if it was murdered by a boomerang, who stalked the bats across gotham, discovered their identities, and strong-armed bruce into giving him robin at 13

steph was fighting crime before bruce even got to her and she proceeded to never once listen to him in her life

cass and damian, i love them, but they were Feral. absolute Gremlin children

then there was jason who liked going to school and was just happy to be there

“Father figure” was the last of Batman’s essential elements to manifest, and it is the first aspect to be jettisoned by writers, filmmakers, and television showrunners whenever they wish to tell Batman’s tale anew. In a bid to keep the storytelling simple, they strip him of his familial context and take him back to the dark, brooding loner of this very first year.

But Robin always comes back, eventually, in some form, because he must: Robin is half the story.

Despite what many fans believe so fervently, the Batman of that very first year isn’t truly Batman—not yet. Robin serves to define and delineate Batman, as do Batgirl, Nightwing, Huntress, and the others. Batman’s status as the ultimate mentor is a base principle, inasmuch as it speaks directly to who he is: he saves others because, on one terrible night long ago, there was no one to save him.
