eddiealex is the biggest proof that the show is scared of backlash. they can keep saying they dont care about fandom opinions but it show that they does, we have more power over the show than you think but most of you just refuse to recognize it
They werenโt uncomfortable at all. I literally had a conversation with Ryan about my Buddie fan ficsโฆ He was asking me questions about my storylines. I said thanks and went to leave because thought I was taking too much time but he kept asking more questions about being a writer and was talking to me about creating artโฆ Oliver was busting my chops about things and was teasing me all dayโฆ they werenโt uncomfortable at allโฆ if anything the relaxed into the atmosphere
do ppl no understand that queerbaiting is NOT a good thing? it's leading on the audience without any plan to commit. it's totally okay if you like the subtext and are fine with only that. but don't expect buddie to ever become canon then
they knew ppl'd get annoyed if Eddie missed Athena almost dying so they decided to have him in the episode. but since they didn't know what to do w/him they shoved him into the elevator๐๐
the way they currently arenโt even delivering good queerbait either, just a bunch of random nonsense with no emotional depth with some eddie sidelining as a bonus. so all this ass kissing is even more ridiculous than ever
tim: there's no buddie planned i just like baiting
Ryan: there's no buddie planned the writers just like baiting
Oliver: im good with Buck fcking around and a kid
911twt: buddie is in the works!!
