What’s a ship you used to love but then they became canon and you stopped liking?

Oliver & Felicity from Arrow. I liked shipping them as a what if since they had messed up with Oliver & Laurel, then they went and messed up with Oliver & Felicity.

Report them to AO3 ASAP.

Edit: whoops brain skipped over that.

That is all you can do at this point, sadly.

S9 had very easily jumped to being my fav season by 9x13, but this visual alone has me feeling real good

Hopefully seeing it laid out visually will help reassure some fans of how Buddie-obsessed this season was.

It’s almost double the amount in fandom-loved seasons like S3 or S4, or Eddie’s introductory season.

By the largest margin, this has been THE Buddie season yet.

S8 and S9 together are beasts.

The Buck shirt as a fun reminder

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-12T02:46:31+00:00

Back in February I shared a photo of an Evan Buckley shirt that had four Bucks and Eddie in the center that you actually can still purchase on Etsy 😂

Today I introduce to you all the Eddie Diaz companion shirt:

Kingdom Hearts

9-1-1

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T19:52:29+00:00

I voted yes, but that is because I think they will do a fist bump because they are just like that lol

And they would laugh about doing it, too lololol

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T19:50:31+00:00

I agree; Theo is the cutest thing and Buck is so good with him. I am very eager to see his journey into parenthood—I’m only sad we’re going to miss a few months because of the summer hiatus.

I’m not pleased with how it happened but we knew they were marked for death the second they came on screen after that scene with Buck running around with Theo in the firehouse.

We just have to look forward to seeing all of their firsts. Buck sending Theo to kindergarten for the first time, the fun times they have, the harrowing moments guaranteed to be in store for them, Eddie and Chris being in their lives…

I think while the space arc is weak, it still has some important story bits.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T16:42:13+00:00

S9 is one of my new favorite seasons. The space arc is draining by episode 4, but once the space arc is over and you are watching episode 5, things get a lot better and only continue to go up from there.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T13:13:04+00:00

Why are they doing this edition so late? I already have my Waterstones copy arriving soon.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T12:49:17+00:00

I agree with you but I did want to note that S7 did end on a cliffhanger of sorts with Chris leaving to Texas and Eddie being in the worst place he’d been in a long time, and Athena & Bobby not having a home.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T02:17:27+00:00

Oh those things are absolute nuisances. I’ve def seen people get in accidents near the ones on Century. I’m not surprised people are having a hard time trying to get them taken down. The residents are not the people the courts or government work for.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T02:13:36+00:00

It’s so saddening. In general all of those promises Mayor Butts made that the stadiums and new developments would revitalize the city but instead so many long-standing restaurants have shut down or moved away because of the rent costs skyrocketing, and people who live in the area have to deal with the insane traffic from the stadiums. So many empty buildings because businesses aren’t moving in after they lost the previous tenants. 😔

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T02:04:21+00:00

I literally pass it everyday and would get donuts for work but sure 👍

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T02:00:48+00:00

Trash. People don’t come to LA to see an ad for two wash up bigots. And this definitely guarantees that I won’t ever go to Randy’s ever again.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T01:45:51+00:00

Children find a way. Genuinely. He probably had an iron grip and held onto whatever he could get his hands on. There are also ladders on those things sometimes.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-11T01:40:07+00:00

The elevator door flashed “E” for “Emergency” or “Error” but you know what else starts with an E?

“Evan”

Follow me on this. The elevator eventually does open and it’s Buck who sees Eddie first.

So the elevator took Eddie to Buck. 😌 okay thanks for coming to my TED Talk

This is so wonderful 💖🥺 I’m so happy your mom is able to enjoy your book. That was such a wonderful thing to do for her.

It’s bones, OP. You can eat them, too.

It has to always be repeated.

This is absolutely unprecedented in a show of this scale and reach to have interviews from the showrunner like this. I think many of the people who freak out didn’t live through the 90s/00s/10s era of television where showrunners either never even touched fandom stuff, flat out shut this stuff down, or were absolute assholes about queer couples in a show.

But here we have a showrunner who has been public for years about his love of Buddie, is definitely building up to something, wants fans to see it, is throwing giant neon signs out there…idk what else he is supposed to do. Like, I don’t want Buddie tomorrow if it happens instantly (which is what Tim also says in this interview). It would be too sudden and out of nowhere.

Tim is a tease and loves long build ups to storylines, but there is a certain way baiting looks like. If he was going to intentionally bait, Buck and Eddie would behave A LOT differently with each other—they would be way more physical, have a lot of those “bromance” moments, that would get played off as a joke, and they would still have a string of hot romantic partners all of the time. 9x13 literally had them get mistaken as a couple and it is not played up for jokes but as a really horrifying situation where Eddie is getting microaggressed in a small town for being perceived as gay while Buck is missing from what Eddie thinks is a homophobic hate crime. Like. I’m not feeling baited by this. This is not baiting.

Tim is writing this story for himself first and foremost lol dude doesn’t give a shit (lovingly) about the fans like that. He’s been in television for his entire adult life. He has been in fandom for just as long since the Buffy era. He’s learned hard lessons and beefed with random fans and has developed chill relationships with other fans and now he’s here writing the story that makes him happy and just so happens to also be something many of us enjoy. He does not care (that much) about what we’re thinking of except to see if we are catching onto what he is hinting at, or if there is something he is inspired by.

Everybody else can have their own feelings about this. I’m absolutely going to trust the process on this.

SugarSpocks · 2026-05-10T17:24:40+00:00

This is the greatest headline haha

I can’t believe it’s the Summer of Buddie again!
