i was tagged by my beloveds @hippolotamus @buddierights to share my winter/holiday fics to get in the spirit now that it's december 🎄
buddie:
the holiday calendar—buck ends up with an advent calendar during the start of the holiday season. he thinks it's possessed and out to ruin his life, the toys inside continually leading him to some doe-eyed beauty and his adorable son.
the holiday calendar: strikes again—maddie asks eddie to hold onto the infamous holiday calendar for the season, eddie getting to find out just how ‘magical’ it really is
christmas kisses—five times buck gives eddie cheesy gifts, and the one time eddie gets exactly what he's been wanting
santa buck—buck wears a santa hat...that's it, that's the summary
you make everyday feel like it’s christmas—buck and chris want everything to be perfect for christmas; eddie thinks they already are
snow on the beach—the surfing au, christmas edition
in the reflection, all i see are glimpses of you and me—five times eddie sees glimpses of something more in a snow globe, and the one time buck sees it too
teen wolf:
christmas at the loft—the pack needs derek to participate in a very non-derek activity. it's his and stiles first christmas together as a couple; what could go wrong?
animal kingdom:
broken cookies—adrian helps deran with chritmas baking
on chrtistmas day— 5 times adrian gets deran to celebrate the holiday's and the one time deran makes a tradition for them all on his own
Ok, or they are all sadistic people who enjoy torturing us (and given the last few seasons I wouldn’t be so surprised 🙄🙄) or maybe there is still a little hope for Deran to get out alive and reach Adrian.
If this is the case I really hope that they will give us the opportunity to see them together for one last time and maybe even have a minimum of conversation between them 🤞🏻🤞🏻 (I know now I’m asking too much but if I have to dream let me dream big 😁🤡😅)
Per TV Fanatic’s interview with Daniele Nathanson, executive producer, showrunner, and writer:
“In terms of alternative family, he's going to get his brother's girlfriend, their kid, and then go find his boyfriend, and hopefully, it's going to work out. I believe true love will elevate that. And I believe that they will be a family unit, and then who knows what would happen from there. But that's what I believe all the writers we were all discussing. That's what we think happens.“
I don’t like open endings but if the writers think is what happens then I’m going to pretend Deran’s got a happy ending with Adrian. I don’t care much about the Renn part but I guess he has to keep his promise to his brother.
I haven’t watched any of the episodes, just followed the show in social media and was planning on binge-watching season 6 depending how it ended, but I won’t waste my time. So it’s time for me to clear up some space on my DVR and delete all the episodes. So, GOODBYE ANIMAL KINGDOM FOR GOOD!
My frustration watching this week’s “Animal Kingdom”
Don’t get me wrong, it was a great episode filled with amazing performances from the cast. But it frustrates me that the writers seems to have forgotten what Deran wouldn’t do vs what Pope did.
Craig finds out Pope killed Cath and he’s furious and won’t accept the excuse that Smurf ordered it. He’s like “Pope could’ve refused”. He says this, less than one season removed from being an asshole to Deran for refusing to kill the person he loved? And then they’re like “Who ever refused Smurf’s orders”. Ummmm ... DERAN! He refused to kill Adrian. The scenes with Deran and Pope would’ve been a great moment to at least referenced that.
"I will never watch this show again!! i hate what they have done with Deran and Adrian's storyline, they won't ever bring him back so i never watched the show anymore...NEVER!"
.......
Me now, scrolling IG
"OMG Spencer liked the Deran post on IG AK official account, i mean he puts the like ONLY under that photo, that must mean something right, right?! And their answer to that comment, maybe they will really bring him back this season??"
