Buck's Subconscious Telling Him He's In Love With Eddie By Having Him Verbalize That Under The Impression

oscillating and ruminating and changing my mind about bobbyalive theory every two seconds

Me rn. These seven seasons have been a rollercoaster (pun intended)🎢

huge fan of the phenomenon of people microdosing on 911 though tumblr and having the general attitude of “Oh, there tumblr goes again. Shipping Two Guys Who Are Standing Next To Each Other Syndrome. Got the gay goggles on.” and then they actually watch the show and are horrified to find that Buck and Eddie are just Like That

Guys, i think we just won? Was that… a win? For the queer community? Guys… guys we just won.

fuck yeah !!!!!!!!!

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

Turned on light mode for the first time in months. Immediately regretted it.

This… Netflix needs to see this.

I think one of the most overlooked factors in Netflix's cutthroat approach to deciding wether to renew a show is that they wholly underestimate the power of fandoms.

They seem to think that unless a show is record-breaking or award-winning it will not be profitable to renew but they fail to recognize that most people don't give a shit about the accolades as long as a show is good.

And even then, it is normal to take more than one eight-episode season to pick up real cultural traction. Plenty of now-beloved shows did not reach mainstream popularity until they were multiple seasons deep.

Netflix fails to consider the longevity of their IPs over the initial peak of interest, and have thus cultivated a self-fulfilling prophecy as people avoid starting new shows because they don't want to become invested in something that is more likely than not to be cancelled, and thus these new shows don't reach the ludicrous viewership standard they have set to justify a renewal.

Sure, they get new subscribers for new shows but what keeps them there? Maybe they'd actually stay subscribed if a new season of something they are invested in is on the way (barring the cost itself, which is a whole different can of worms).

Plenty of people subscribe only for one or two shows- I remember people cancelling their subscriptions when they took The Office off because that show alone was keeping them on the platform.

Supernatural did not get 15 seasons because of its exceptional writing or cinematography (ha), they got 15 seasons because of devoted fans who wanted more. Who kept rewatching and buying merchandise and paying for con tickets.

Daredevil is one of the best shows I have ever seen, and that was at the time where the "early" cancellation was common after three seasons (with 12+ episodes). Inside Job is one of the only adult animated series that I have ever thoroughly enjoyed, and it was lucky to have two seasons. Shadow and Bone had the potential to be a franchise based in the extended Grishaverse, and yet it also ended after two seasons.

Finally- not everyone watches shows the day they release! We don't all have that sort of time, and it's ok to discover a new show a week, a month, a year after it releases! Word of mouth and fan culture/communities have been the rock upon which lasing series are created, from Star Trek to Game of Thrones.

All this to say, @netflix yall get your act together and renew Dead Boy Detectives before you lose your captive audience 🫠

If so, I take it all back. The queerbaiting was better.

is this our price for getting buddie :(

Woo hoo! I’m still so excited from last night. People dooming and criticizing RG for his acting? WTH? I thought he was great. I thought the car scene and goodbye scenes were awesome. And to see people who ship Buddie glooming? As someone who hasn’t been in this fandom that long, I don’t even know why some people watch? Do they like being miserable? I see people complaining that they have been burned before and that’s understandable. But then why do they have such an investment in it? And now the slow burn/will they, won’t they people wanted I guess isn’t what they really wanted.

The biggest question is if you hate Eddie, why do you ship Buddie? Crazy.

Listen, I loved this episode so much. It was great entertainment from beginning to end. I was glued to my screen.

But people are allowed to have a different opinion about the episode. That's how life works. You can't always love the same things as everyone else. So I don't really mind that. It's simply a human experience.

But the Ryan hate is crazy. I'm sorry. But it is. The man was so good in last night's episode. He has been consistently great in his acting over the last couple of seasons and some people still feel the need to rag on him. I'm so tired of it.

I said it before and I'll say it again: I'm not a Ryan stan. I like Ryan and he seems like a nice guy, but I'm not a stan. I'm simply an Eddie fan. I don't know too much about Ryan. I don't need to know too much about Ryan. But I do know he is good at what he does. He is a really good solid actor. And his interpretation of Eddie Diaz? Perfection.

As for the Buddie dooming and glooming. I don't know anymore Nonny. I don't understand what people want to happen here? For years we got small scenes between them and then nothing to follow it up anymore. For once we are getting, not only tons of scenes between them, but actual follow up and continuation of their narrative together.

We are living through a real 'will they won't they' slowburn situation where everything is clearly leading somewhere big for Buddie. I don't know what to say to these people anymore, other than 'Buddie is happening'. I'm at a loss at this point. 🤷‍♀️

I think the biggest question here Nonny, is: How could anyone ever hate Eddie Diaz? One of the greatest characters that has ever graced our TV-screens? Incomprehensible. 🧐
