Can't sleep (again). The random topic my brain won't let go of tonight is gender identity (mine, specifically). I only just realized within the last year or two that I'm pansexual. At the same time, the way I express my gender has changed significantly. +

@delapilap @Pinkiescent_ I'm a pan person who agrees with you. I'm attracted to personalities. I don't care what kind of packaging that personality is wrapped up in.

@thenfirecat Like, why does Eddie even HAVE to tell Christopher "this story, too"? In what platonic friendship do you feel forced to tell your teen that your best friend was sold for $8k at a bachelor auction? That ONLY makes sense in a "Guess what your other parent once did" way.

@rizcriz Ugh. I don't have a dog at the moment, but I've had reactive dogs before. The WORST is that people like that Husky lady tend to have their dogs off-leash all the time, too, and they always say, "It's OK, she's friendly!" Well mine isn't, so come get your damn dog!

@fujonash See, this is exactly the type of slow burn I expect! They're going to gradually get more and more touchy and less and less platonic until one day they finally kiss. I loved this!

@JaskierOfRivia I genuinely didn't expect to live to 40. Now I'm 43, still kinda looking around, like, "Wait, I'm still here?" Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY happy to still be here, but like... I never expected to experience middle age like this 🤣

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@bthom93 Yeah. I think the way RG has been playing Eddie and the way he's allowed to TALK about how he's been playing Eddie are very different 👀

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@YILOVEY I'm sorry you have to deal with that nonsense. Just try to keep in mind that anybody who would say something like that is NOT living a happy life. They must be so incredibly miserable and taking it out on the wrong person.

You're living a happy life (I hope) & helping others ♥️

This is the part people don’t understand. Those of us trying to avoid covid aren’t “afraid of a cold.”

It’s the downstream heart problems, immune and cognitive dysfunction, cancers, etc. we don’t want.

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@evanbuckleypen I usually do that, but I haven't been able to since Bobby died. I think this summer I'll be able to rewatch it again, though. Almost hate to admit it, but I've really enjoyed this season.

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

I have a feeling "chain of command" will come up in an unexpected way when Buddie goes canon. Like Buck will want to report their relationship to Chim immediately, but Eddie will be like, "Screw chain of command. I want to keep this to ourselves for a while."

[millie ᰔᩚ @911_buckley]

good morning oomfs !! 🫶🏻
thinking about how eddie said “chain of command” just to see if buck would make the joke and when he did he looked so relieved and happy 🥹 eddie loves him so much :(

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@rizcriz I fully agree! I slightly cringe every time I read "Babe" or "Baby" in Buddie fics, especially when they first get together. Like, I could maybe see Eddie calling Buck "Evan" sometimes or Buck using "Eds," but I just can't picture "Babe" or "Baby" coming from either mouth.

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@lintea118 @mooshlou This. There was no reason to make Buck bi if they weren't planning on (eventually) making him and Eddie get together. The show already has several queer characters, so it's not like they needed to "get with the times."

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@CurbsideCapri @daylightsashley Probably

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@alright_cowboy @buckley_diazz18 Same! I knew that Tommy was nothing more than a plot device on the way to getting Buddie eventually (although I didn't think it would take quite so long to get here, lol).

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

@daylightsashley This is SO beautiful! I practically never cry, but this nearly got me 🥺❤️

[Awkward Anxious Jennifer 🏳️‍🌈 @AwkAnxJennifer]

I currently have a Band-Aid over a scab on my nose, not because it's still an open wound that needs protection, but to stop me from picking at the scab and reopening the wound 🙃

[vivi @mooncatvivi]

@lwtsxtbsl ALL the awards. Oliver deserves ALL the awards for his acting in this episode!

@fatfabfeminist This. I learned what unconditional love is from a friend I met in my late 30s. 5 years later, that kind of love still blows me away!
