Its Not like a stab wound you can protect me from

📣 Are you a fan of Brokeback Mountain but thought it was too sad? 📣

Look no further than this 2000 classic film that gets overwhelmingly overlooked (starring a POC lead).

Big Eden

A city slicking artist is called back home to his small town once his grandpa falls ill. While there, he runs into his childhood crush who he learns now has two children and is recently divorced.

He adjust to life in this town with helping at the local school and stopping frequently at the one general store owned by a tall gentle (autistic coded) giant Pike. As he loses himself in the love of the past, he may find it in his unexpected future.

It makes me nauseous to think that no one ever thought about him when Bobby died. Chimney had Maddie, Hen had Karen and Eddie wasn’t there, only to come back and gets viscerally angry at him for grieving. Tommy saw him sobbing on the floor and wasn’t there for him afterwards.

He had no person as a safe zone to just break and he really never did and he turned that into making sure everyone else was okay. Other than Maddie for a scene, no one checked on him and wanted him to move past everything without properly grieving.

Or Tim my boys, my men, my main men. We don’t want Buck having another love interest to add to his graveyard of misfortunate lovers.

And you might say “Well no one cares what you want”. Fans might argue back that there’s a reason you’ve had 10 seasons and it’s not from lack of fan service in one way or another.

I just fail to understand why we are restarting a narrative that has failed in every single season, instead of trying something new.

Why are you so opposed to making the obvious happen?

You’ve hinted at it so many times, quarter assed it by making Buck bi and then sticking him WITH A GUY OUT OF NOWHERE,

Had that weird jealous love triangle going with the three of them.

Brought it up explicitly that Buck has feelings for Eddie.

Buck is the legal guardian of Chris if Eddie dies.

Buck has family dinners at Eddie’s house while coming over religiously as he COPARENTS.

Buck was the only one who tried to climb through the EARTH to get to Eddie.

and everyone is just like “It’s good seeing a male friendship on screen” and “If that’s the natural progression” or even “Ryan doesn’t want to just give in and make it happen out of nowhere, just because Buck is bi”.

Honey

We have shipped them together since Eddie has appeared on screen, not because Buck is bi. We shipped them when they were still “straight”. You deliberately set up a natural progressing storyline where they were queued up to be lovers but then chickened out every season to call us the delusional ones. IF EDDIE WAS A GIRL, WE WOULDN’T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

The problem that Buck and Eddie are having is that they are looking for each other in the wrong people.

Fans have shipped these two from season 2. Not because Buck was bi, he didn’t know at that time. It was from the pure chemistry between the two of them. They don’t need to be “a rare good friendship between a homosexual and heterosexual man” because Buck gets that from every other male in his life (he’s bi anyways btw). (A sexuality being confirmed after the ship and still having said character get with another person is objectively chaotic behavior).

Eddie has always been an exception to the fans. I sense from interviews that Ryan does not want Buddie to happen and I can infer that kissing a man was one of the boundaries he talked about in another interview. To each their own (couldn’t be me if given the chance).

Every single war we have been directly involved in was to protect our own best interest. We stole our original land after committing genocide. The US has enslaved millions to build its foundation without no acknowledgment whatsoever.

This may be a “democracy” but only the richest have a say in what really goes on. I’m tired of the “but you’re supporting genocide”. NEWSFLASH THE CITIZENS DON’T HAVE A FUCKING SAY IN ANYTHING. We can protest, riot, scream but nothing will change. We wear this democracy mask but we are anything but. Sure we get to vote and talk freely but that’s it. We can’t control the president nor the courts once voting is done.

Do you think we want to be supporting two wars that has very little to do with us while we are struggling to buy food ourselves? My entire generation can’t afford a studio apartment unless you work two or more jobs. Everyone that isn’t rich is living paycheck to paycheck. Our lovely taxes that take 50% of our income is involuntary going to a military to which we don’t control.

In the BL community there has been a trend where there has been a sacrificial couple to do all of the sex scenes (usually the lesser known couple) while the popular ship keeps their good image with tasteful sex scenes.
