Here's the thing. Buck being bi has nothing to do with Eddie, or with Buddie as a ship, or anything even tangentially related to that.
Buck is a bisexual man having his awakening in his early 30s, after spending so much of his life defining himself by his relationships and his sexual experiences with women. He is learning about himself, he is rediscovering himself in a way that we rarely ever get to see on television.
This is so much bigger than Eddie or the potential for Buddie. Don't you see? We have a late-in-life realisation and coming out arc for a BISEXUAL MAN, who isn't being made into a joke or a punchline or a set-up. This isn't a stepping stone for him to be "properly gay" later on, this isn't another "sex addict" plotline taken to extremes. This MATTERS. This is IMPORTANT. This is a rarity, and we get to see it unfold in real time. How often do we get these sort of arcs for grown adults?
I'm sorry that some of you are disappointed. But you all need to sit down, take a breather, and realise that this is bigger than your ship going canon.
Evan Buckley is bisexual, and that is about HIM. He is finally, finally coming into himself and realising that he is more than he thought he was before. This is the beginning of a beautiful, important, powerful arc, and it deserves to be treated with kindness and compassion by the fans just as much as it is by Oliver himself.
If all you care about is Eddie, or Buddie, then do us all a favour and just stick to fanfic. The rest of us will be here, falling in love with this new chapter of Evan Buckley's life.

fingers crossed that max and charles give us a race to remember tomorrow in all the best ways. i want battles on track; i want austria 2022 type of race and podium for that matter, and take it a notch higher. i want them both doing doughnuts à la abu dhabi gp 2022 after a 1-2 finish (i wish they could both finish first but…well) i want max praising charles and congratulating him for dragging that tractor to a podium finish and ultimately a 2nd place constructors championship. i want a happy max and an even happier charles. i want charles promising max that he won’t make it easier for him next year, that he will finish what he started in the 2022 season, i want talks of more padel dates, i want max getting charles for secret santa this year yeah basically i want my babies happy and drenching each other in champagne.

Maybe a little overly serious approach to the situation, but y'all have GOT to be more respectful towards the creators you watch and consume content for. fWhip's message about getting a lot of hate is honestly abysmal.
Like, don't get me wrong, I love lore-related series! I think they're a lot of fun and I love watching them.But give non-lore series a chance! They're also a lot of fun!
These creators are all responsible adults who are very capable of creating boundaries for themselves and deciding amongst themselves what rules they want to follow when joining a project.
Obviously, there are many viewers and community members who this isn't directed at. :D
Please don't send hate to anyone, it's not helpful. If you don't like something, don't engage with it. Just leave it at that. Show respect to the community you're apart of, and to the creators that head it.
(It's fine to be annoyed with something and talk about it, but don't force a creator to see that negativity. It's not benefiting anyone.) The more hate a creator gets, the less they engage with and organize fun things for the community. Please remember to be kind.

scribbled down a relationship chart for the forgotten valley bros to collect my thoughts after snooping into their dialogue files, because i’m crazy over the barebones scraps of tiny interactions between them that we are given they’re a neat group of lads and i want to see them in lots of wacky situations together
rambling explanation and screenshots under the cut. spoilers for dialogue
gordy and gustafa are bffs and i love them!!!!!
they have mutual respect for each other… gustafa clearly admires and understands gordy’s art, and gordy seems to view gustafa as his closest confidant, he even gets you and Gustafa the new kitchen if you enter chapter 2 without being able to “afford” it yourself
they only really mention each other and don’t have anything to say about the other two boys
no one has anything bad to say about gustafa, which is exactly how it should be. blessed bard. it’s extra sweet to me that he’s the most well-liked bachelor both in and out of the game given one of the npc gossip lines your son can tell you— he grew up without many friends (in the original game the secret was that he was bullied). he deserves all the happiness in the world
matt opinions
matt shares his Opinions (slander) on gordy and rock specifically if you show him your kid with them, but has no slander for gustafa… his line for gustafa is instead just copied from what he says about the bachelorettes’ kids. so i count that as a gustafa win
i had to stretch to find any mention of gustafa by matt, the closest thing is that he comments that he doesn’t usually go to the starlight concert
i want gustafa and matt to interact!!! i want gustafa to give matt a tomato when he’s being gruff like he did with nami (matt: “th-thank you…..*blush* i already have ten billion of these”) matt also has lines about farm work being easier when you’ve got music accompanying you if you show him a record so i’ll count that as a very flimsy positive connection (matt IS friendly with gavin, due to frequenting the bluebird café, but is a bit reticent to make friends on his own)
rock opinions and social diseases
rock is extremely excited about hearing gustafa play music and calls him a wizard at the guitar and says he never gets tired of hearing him play. he also likes wandering over to gustafa’s yurt and listening to his music along with tei on market days (his most normal bachelor to bachelor interaction)
the only guy who gets no positive comment from rock is matt, instead rock goes to town roasting him in his fourth heart event out of envy for a completely imaginary situation and argues that he’s worth a hundred matthew’s (source?). he also likes to go into the already crowded farmhouse at night on market days and make it even more cramped, but he usually leaves right before matt gets home
finally rock has what i can only describe as a really odd one-sided crush on gordy!! he meanders into gordy’s trailer at 12:45 AM (AM) every market day and loudly, obliviously asks why there’s so much “trash” everywhere (you’re the trash, rock!!!!!!). thankfully rock is quite literally beneath gordy’s notice, however this seems to make rock sad and he tries to come up with wacky stunts to get gordy’s attention like drawing on gordy’s face and… holding his breath? (maybe, i dunno WHERE that dialogue triggers). he has a line celebrating gordy finally noticing him, i’m not sure what causes it though (for his part, gordy has no lines referencing rock)
finally, if you show rock your kid he will tease them by bragging that he was waaaay cuter at their age… but ONLY if it’s a bachelor’s child. rock your complex is so obvious that it’s more of a simple
in summary,
rock seems to think highly of each of the guys (except matt), unfortunately this manifests in him making really odd attempts to barge into their houses at strange hours and by trying to assert dominance in annoying ways. thankfully no one really notices anything he does (except matt)
matt doesn’t generally say nice things about anyone except cecilia (which makes the nice things he says, like about nina, more meaningful…) so unsurprisingly he has nothing nice to say about any of the guys, but he doesn’t have anything negative to say about gustafa. however he seems to want friends to do stuff with (he complains about how no one in the valley wants to go swimming…..hhhgg i am desperate to force rock and matt to spend time together. a friendship where you can’t stand each other but you’re the only two people who enjoy doing the same hobby so you put your differences aside and splash around in the water) like with rock no one really seems aware of matt’s existence except rock who is Extrwmely Aware to the point of knowing about matt’s crush on ceci, but unlike rock matt is not exactly jumping at the chance to go socialize with others
gustafa and gordy are friends with each other (and also both are friends with nami) and they support each others ambitions. i have no source but i’m confident that when gustafa visits gordy he’s also bringing him water and soup (he also visits daryl so i think it’s cool and fun if gustafa drops in on the local lost-in-thought creative hermits with hydration reminders and care packages)

Thought about turning anon on again just this morning but tbh its probably best to leave them off. I can just hear the people calling me a horrible person for my anger and grief already and I wouldn't be able to keep myself from lashing out at them because I just cannot sterilize my reaction to fucking colonial genocide. And I'm not even fucking Palestinian, I'm just some upstart halfbreed Persian kid safe in his home in america trying to focus on midterms and being unable to because how fucking SURREAL is it that my biggest threat is flunking some arbitrary fucking test when half the world away people are being slaughtered like rats on their own homeland for the crime of just fucking existing and I can't do ANYTHING about it other than watch helplessly and stick with boycotting and sharing aid posts and I KNOW that the people responsible will never face their crimes.
I'm not the one losing my home and watching the place I love get burned to the ground and seeing the people I love be tortured and killed and the animals and the plants that I love destroyed and yet my anger and grief is all-encompassing and horribly choking. I have the fucking luxury of turning away. I can't imagine how it must be to be Palestinian and yet forced to be a sniveling submissive beggar to westerners because people who share your ethnicity dared to make a move to take back their homeland, dared to try to even the decades of suffering and humiliation by even a little bit. How DARE you be angry, when 1,000 settlers have been killed
Anger and grief is not sanitary or rational, it's cruel and ugly and bloody. I just know that when this ''''war'''' ends that people are going to be condemning the survivors for daring to show even the faintest of ugly emotions and it makes me want to puke. I just know that there are people out there who are looking at me with disgust for finally losing my temper and showing what a vitrolic piece of shit I can be when angry- just how terrible will they be to people who actually deserve to be hateful and angry?
