Yeah Mr. Darcy���s proposal was a complete turd and a half but you gotta understand. You got your life together. A good career, stable income, retirement plan, all that shit together. And you meet this girl. And she’s everything. Clever, outspoken, funny, calls you on your bullshit. Grade A cutie, right? And she doesn’t go out of her way to spend time with you but she’s nice, and sometimes you catch her looking your way in a way that makes you think you might have a shot.

But her family. Holy shit.

First off, it’s p much ALL women, and mostly UNMARRIED women, which at this time means of something happens to her dad then you’re financially responsible for like. Four grown ass adults, potentially forever

Because mom in law is DEFINITELY gonna need someone to take care of her when dad in law kicks it, and they have like. NO money. So already you’re accepting that if all goes well, you’re gonna be one random old bag’s retirement home. That’s expensive and exhausting, yeah? Imagine asking someone on a first date knowing that if they say yes and things go good her high-strung chihuahua mother is gonna move in with you. IMAGINE.

And girly’s other sisters. Well, one is a sweetheart, yeah, so she probably won’t be an issue, but that still leaves three more, and two of those ones are INSUFFERABLE. Never went to school, dumb as rocks, spend cash like it’s toilet paper

And while one of the two is young still and might grow out of it the OTHER one is actively torpedo’ing her entire family’s reputation by wandering off with random dudes and chasing ass. She’s never gonna work, she can’t build connections, she’s a fucking sinkhole, and she’s being led on by the same goddamn con man ass leeching tit who’s been bleeding you dry while telling anyone who’ll listen that your family is full of ratty thieving bastards.

And if he dumps her after a week- WHICH YOU KNOW HIS BITCH ASS IS GONNA- you’ve got a SECOND UNMARRIABLE GROWN ASS ADULT TO PROVIDE FOR. And you KNOW she’s gonna be a tantrum-throwing little shit about it, and it’s not like you can lock her in the basement or something, you’re gonna have to bring her fucking. Everywhere. And give her an allowance and shit while she contributes zero, because again, she NEVER GOT EDUCATED AND HAS NO MARKETABLE SKILLS. She’s not even good to TALK to. FUCK

And you’re looking at this girl’s father like “please for the love of fuck get your spawn under control, marry them off, get them working on their résumé, learning to sew or be nursemaids or manage staff or SOMETHING, yall got no money and one foot in the grave” and that old man just laughs like “haha yeah, what can you do. lol”

So you’re looking to the mom and finally it’s making sense how she got that twitch in her eye and as MUCH as she is you’re starting to realize she’s the SMART one, desperately throwing her armloads of girls at random men like they’re a bunch of fucking lifeboats bobbing around a sinking ship, like yes Jesus Christ sweetly that life boat IS old and ugly and kind of boring but for FUCKS SAKE PICK ONE

And you look back at this girl who is ALSO REFUSING THE LIFE BOATS BY THE WAY and god damn it she’s still the most radiant thing you’ve ever seen so fine, fuck it, Christ alive, you’ll do it. You’ll shoot your shot. She’s everything you’ve ever wanted in anybody abut it’s not even just about that anymore, it’s about being her best fucking shot at a future, and even if she doesn’t like you all that much she’s still gonna say yes and that might break your heart a bit knowing it’s about the money but who knows, maybe it will at least be civil, or companionable, and even if she doesn’t LOVE you at least you’ll know she’s well and cared for

And so you’ll do it. You’ll take on the neurotic stress mess mother in law, the absent father, the broke ass wingnut no brain no money no future airhead sisters, the bad mannered relatives and the embarrassing behaviour and the impending future of sharing your entire shit with a clown parade of freeloaders, you’ll risk it all and accept the absolute certainty of financial ruin and emotional exhaustion for the rest of your whole ass life and you’ll make your own family deal with it too, you’ll do it, you’ll fucking DO IT, you stupid lovesick motherfucker

And so you go to this chick like “look. Your whole family’s a shitshow. You’ve got fucking nothing and you’re gonna die on the street. But for some reason- and I don’t get it either- I’ve fallen in love with you, and I wish I didn’t, but I did, so I’m telling you that whether you like me or not, I’ll give you everything. I’ll give you everything even if it’s the dumbest shit I ever done. Fuck my stupid Baka ass, I’ll marry you.”

And she looks at you- having heard or considered absolutely none of your months-long internal debate and monologue- and goes “The fuck did you just say about my family, you son of a bitch?”

And the shock of that is enough to jolt you back into a reality where you are able to actually hear and process what just came out of your damn mouth And yeah

Yeah, I think I kinda get it

I enjoyed this take

eddie haunting the narrative just as loud in both gifs

Tommy's face in the first gif... Either the face of a man who tried to date Eddie and is a) just seeing him with a woman and b) just been caught trying to date Eddie's bestie or a man who is trying to date Buck but knows Buck is in love with Eddie

ha ha. having a moment of reflection about how insane the buddie arc in season 3 is. because of course we all know that eddie yells at buck for not being around enough and basically calls him a deadbeat dad <- guy he has known for like maybe 18 months at this point btw. and instead of this being a common fanon interpretation of an ambiguously-intended canon conversation, the show revisits this in a later episode and has buck say In The Text uh yeah eddie. you were right, actually. you and chris needed me, and i wasn't around, and that was fucked up of me to do. i'm sorry, and i'm not going to leave you hanging like that again. after eddie has already explicitly stated that he trusts buck with chris more than he trusts anyone else in the world (including christopher's two living grandparents, eddie's own sisters, his grandmother, the woman he pays to care for chris, and eddie's aunt, all of whom we have met in the context of the show up to this point). like. lol.

and buck is never caught slipping again, which is objectively the most hilarious part

He says, “I will never abandon you or your child again,” and lives up to that promise for the next six years INCLUDING NOW, when said best friend and child are living in Texas

Our boy Eddie Diaz loves giving forehead kisses.

I better get many forehead kisses between Buddie when they get together.

the first night eddie and chris are home, chris has gone to bed, and buck and eddie are in the kitchen nursing their second beers. "so," buck says, "ballroom dancing?" he's smirking, but there's bite to it, like he's poking at eddie, forcing them closer to an edge to prove they won't fall off. and eddie groans, but he's saying "fuck off, it's actually hard. you'd suck at it." and that gets buck, he knew it would, lights the competitive fuse that never seems to run out. buck says "oh yeah? teach me then," and eddie says "your funeral." and he pulls buck into his arms, moves his hands where they're supposed to go, and maybe it's closer than they're used to but they haven't been in the same room in so long, it's barely satisfying. buck isn't letting it feel intimate, anyway, with how focused he is, how rigid. eddie tells him rigidity is not helping, but. that doesn't help either. and after a while of buck stumbling through different styles and stepping on eddie's feet, buck is pouting and eddie is laughing at him, and eddie says, "god, you're hopeless. just, fuck off, come here." and he pulls buck closer, puts buck's arms around his neck and wraps his own around buck's waist. "think you can handle this? just a little sway back and forth, barely a step." and maybe buck is just tired, but the tension and rigidity finally melt away, and they're swaying. and buck's eyes are big and wet and his cheeks are pink and his lips are bitten red with frustration. and maybe this worked better than eddie planned.

everyone on suits knows they��re in a (mostly) lighthearted dramedy except for gabriel macht, who is giving an academy-award-nominee-for-a-wartime-romantic-tragedy level performance whenever harvey and mike break up for half an episode

I love that the Buck SUCKS(!!!!) at dating narrative and isnt just (un)intentionally inattentive but also (un)intentionally offensive now runs concurrently to Buck being confirmed the best partner possible to his (reads notes) heterosexual best friend whose house he sublets (heterosexually!) with whom he is definitely NOT in love nor coparenting.

And then Eddie says "appreciate you" in the straightest way he can.

buck AND eddie have been shit(-ish) partners to their love interests bc they actually are, in fact, already in a committed relationship with each other.

exactly! they are completely devoted to each other, of course there's no space left for a different romantic partner!

but also, buck using the basketball tickets he got from tommy (to go on a date) and then taking eddie kinda (definitely) means that now buck and eddie went on a date.

yes! exactly! eddie took buck on a platonic heterosexual poker date and buck took eddie on a platonic basketball game date. they’re bestie monogamous, basically.

Gif sets are SO important to me. Yes, please take this scene and break it up into 4 or 6 three second loops that I can study over and over to appreciate the small details of it

Look once Buck and Eddie are together after one of them has a terrible day or shift or it’s after the opening disaster, I’m not picky, I’m going to need one of them to be sitting and sad and a little lost feeling, while the other comes over to comfort them and doesn’t say anything, and whoever is sitting leans their face into the other’s stomach and the one standing puts his hand on the back of his head. Okay. I need this. Please.

Doctor Odyssey episode 1: We’re not equipped to do surgeries on board. We can only transport patients to a medical facility on land.

Doctor Odyssey every episode since then: We can perform any emergency surgery needed in this luxurious marble-clad designer suite without any equipment, medications, or supplies, during tsunami conditions and orca attacks, whether we have electricity, blood, sedatives or not, sometimes two at a time or three a day using techniques modern medicine has never even heard of, as long as we can all have sex before, during, and after.
