Experience Tumblr like never before
Did you ever actually love the character? Or did you just like them if the writers made your own headcanons come true?
(Yes, this is about Evan Buckley.)
Hot take: if you are one of those people that would literally have buddie or nothing at all (bi!buck being canon) then you are no better than the Buckley parents… I’ll repeat that one more time, in case it didn’t register with you:
Nothing Buck ever does is good enough for you: him discovering this new part of himself and exploring it isn’t enough, him being giddy and infatuated and HAVING AND HONEST TO GOD CRUSH isn’t enough, him being HAPPY isn’t enough.
He isn’t enough. Perhaps he never was enough for you.
But he is everything and more to so many people. His story means THE WORLD to so many people. People that literally never watched the show before are either now watching it or have just heard about it BECAUSE of his current storyline. This story matters. He matters. And if you can’t put aside your ship for one second to appreciate how huge this is, both inside and outside of the show, then you never actually loved this character in the first place.
