The angsty and fluffy adventures of protective lifeguard Katsuki and insecure camp counselor Izuku are waiting for you in my fic for @bkdkbk_revbang! Huge thanks to @Naki_Dono for the concept and her gorgeous art. The fic and her art can be found in the replies! #BKDK
@edssluttywaist Buck’s projection is crazy. Totally a coincidence that your first boyfriend is ALSO an ex-army firefighter who loves cars and MMA, has a rocky relationship with his conservative father, has a history of repression, and is also extremely snarky and cynical about the supernatural.
@buckdiazs@buckdownbad Third time’s the charm of Buck feeling insecure about Eddie at least! (Though it should probably be fourth time’s the charm, since there was 7.04, 8.09/8.10, and 8.17 already.)
@edssluttywaist was making his friendship with Tommy about Buck.
In 8A, I think Eddie’s avoidance of joy due to guilt makes him avoid Buck somewhat for the first few episodes. Once he starts seeking joy again, he’s excited to see Buck turn up at the end of 8.06.
@edssluttywaist randomly turning up at his back door.
In contrast to how fraught their relationship is in 8B now that their equilibrium has shifted and it’s harder to deny their feelings, in 7.04 Eddie feels guilty that Buck felt left out, and apparently wasn’t bothered that Buck shoved him or
@buckainttopping Not a Tommy defender, but he did save people in the 118’s lives multiple times with the whole helicopter thing. He’s just not great when it comes anything that doesn’t involve saving lives.
@brinasbuddie Tim should take a leave of absence to direct action films if that’s his only joy now. Or make better creative decisions so you don’t have to wave a shiny toy in front of the GA in order to bring in higher audiences numbers.
@brinasbuddie I’m keeping my fingers crossed that ‘Reentry’ means returning to normal life, them reestablishing the new status quo, etc.
But I’m certainly not keeping my hopes up.
@soopsiedaisies @colderbam allowing for more diversity in the types of stories that can be told. However, there definitely are cases, particularly where the fic is serious, where there’s tonal dissonance when everyone acts so insensitively about Eddie’s sexuality.
@soopsiedaisies @colderbam I think it can be funny trope, especially since most of them take place in the very common ‘No period typical homophobia’ AU, so they’re essentially treated like a straight couple, where sexuality only matters as a fodder for miscommunication. I think there’s value in this AU for
@multifandomsgal@buckdownbad In real life, firefighting isn’t an extremely dangerous job where you’re at risk of dying every day. Working in construction, logging, driving all day, are significantly more dangerous. Even if the emergencies are unrealistic, having no-one die over the course of 8 years isn’t.
@busybeebuckley @buddieshooter Was a crack theory in the fandom since they had the same name (even though it the timeline don’t work that well, but when do they for 911). People are pretty sure that Tim decided to do a retcon to make it true when he saw the theory & realised he could get some conflict from it
