everyone is talking about "down bad" being buck's song and i completely agree BUT have you heard "the prophecy"?!?! I MEAN
Hand on the throttle
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
(he thought he finally found a family that will love him and a good relationship)
Oh, but it's gone again
(but they ended up leaving like everyone else- lawsuit)
And it was written
I got cursed like Eve got bitten
(he must have thought at least once that hes cursed, he suffered so much, physically and mentally)
Oh, was it punishment?
('maybe i deserve it all? i didnt save daniel, i wasnt enough...')
Pad around when I get home
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
(he just kept going, trying, looking for his place in the world when normally people would've just given up)
A greater woman wouldn't beg
(he begged to be loved, he begged for his job, for the team to forgive him - lawsuit)
But I looked to the sky and said
Please
I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
('can someone finally stay?')
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
(he turned down the money that the city was offering bc he just wanted his family back)
Let it once be me
('can someone choose me? or can i be the one to leave this time?')
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?
Cards on thе table
Mine play out like fools in a fablе
Oh, it was sinking in (Sinking in, oh)
Slow is the quicksand
Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
Oh, still I dream of him
("you're exousting!")
-
And I sound like an infant
("two dinners and im 12 yrs old again")
Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen
A greater woman stays cool
But I howl like a wolf at the moon
(angry buck in 4x04 and 4x05)
And I look unstable
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
No sign of soulmates
I'm just a paperweight in shades of greige
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it'll be okay

simon's arc and growth in s3 was one of my favorite storylines and is one of the main reasons i like s3 so much.
in s1 we got to see the foundations of such a beautiful complex character - a boy who loves his family and those who have earned their way into his heart almost more than himself, loyal to a fault, vibrant and not afraid to make himself more of an outsider by standing by his ethos and personality.
and simon being his truest self taught the 2 most important ppl in his life their key lessons. sara now understands the gift of giving ppl second chances and wanting to hope they wont always fuck it all up. and wille learned everything from simon. how to love unashamedly. how to believe in yourself. how to look outside of yourself. how to speak your mind. how to forgive. how to live freely
idk i think there is something so missing in ppl who cant understand his character in s3 and maybe its a lack of life experience but knowing when you need to remove yourself from a situation that is destroying you and the ppl you love is important and real. he made himself so small to try and fit for willes life and that hurt them both, wille needed shining simon as much as simon did.
love is not always enough and simon was brave for recognizing that. for continuing to stand by issues and ideals that were deeply important to him. to recognize when his own actions were causing ppl harm. to continue to forgive and give ppl more chances despite being hurt but also knowing when he needs to put himself first
on my first watch of s3ep6 it something i couldnt stop thinking abt and i stand by it on a few rewatches, for someone so integral to everyone's personal growth bc he was that catalyst or lesson for them, he felt a bit forgotten. and i get there was a lot of loose ends to be tied up but im ngl he felt a little rushed/in limbo bc of it but i still think he had a full beautiful arc in s3. and the way ppl still damn him for every move makes me wish he had even more time to develop throughout esp s2 i wish everyone could see just how beautiful and complex simon is and how he is the base of everyone around him

Moving Out, 06/25/1982
Hand in glove I stake my claim
I'll fight to the last breath
If they dare touch a hair on your head
I'll fight to the last breath
For the good life is out there somewhere
So stay on my arm, you little charmer
But I know my luck too well
Yes, I know my luck too well
And I'll probably never see you again
