Football Dilfs Sightings At Ballerleague

Buck is not a tactile person, at least not in the way we think.

I know in fanon and fanfics, many of us (especially me) love to imagine Buck as someone who constantly presses these small touches into the ones he loves. Except, he doesn't.

Don't misunderstand, Buck thrives on physical affection. Some of his happiest moments are when he receives that form of love. Except, when he gives it, it's almost always under a specific condition.

Buck waits for near-explicit consent.

Hear me out:

It's not as if he doesn't touch people, but it's very much a needed-as situation on the job and then rare occasions such as celebrations with the team. And again, it's never those small, mindless touches of someone who just wants to physically feel someone they care for.

Even in the scariest moments, he waits.

And we can infer he accepted her permission because we see Buck this terrified for a loved one the very next season. Except, he doesn't get any request for comfort or form of consent then.

They're both obviously in critical condition. Both need medical attention immediately. Yet, Buck takes the time to hug and comfort Maddie because she asked for it.

He clearly doesn't mind either option. He's overjoyed just to see them alive. And that's the point. For Buck, these interactions aren't about him. Which is why he doesn't actively pursue them. (Not saying he shouldn't. I, personally, think he should.)

This is a perspective I think many authors can take advantage of when writing fanfiction.

I am not saying to stop writing Buck as openly tactile. I'm saying write both. Write either. Write it all. I need more of this when I search my ship.

And in case you didn't know, EDDIE is the one more openly, physically affectionate between the two of them. 100%. But that's a separate post if you want it.

Also, Buck does not hold these standards when it comes to Chris. Also another post.

Bonus :

The only time I could actively remember Buck touching Eddie without consent (when he wasn't saving his life). Season 2x14 "Broken". This wasn't the first time Eddie had been in danger, but it was the first time he was in danger without Buck there. They were ready to run into the house after he didn't respond on the radio. Eddie came out after his "Spiderman" routine, saving a child in the process. Buck couldn't help himself.

(Just gonna mention how the physical distance between these two has only grown after every time Eddie's needed help... Hmm...)

Bro mats has to stop watching tennis playing Padel and simping over his basketball guys and sign a stupid contract for a stupid club in Italy I’m getting worried and I can’t rep an unemployed man chop chop Milan/juve contract on the table pronto

I know we’re all still upset about Marco leaving (😞), but he’s not the only one leaving. Both Mateau Morey and Marius Wolf are also leaving.

Marius Wolf is a difficult topic. He played plenty, and when he did play it was often unconvincing and not Dortmund standard. However, there were times when he did show up, and has always played for the badge. Each time he played, he played for the clubs sucess, not the multi million dollar pay check he was going to get at the end of the week. He shouldn’t have even played that much, we should have had better alternatives, but we didn’t. So he played, and he did his job. Not all the time, but enough to get us through the season. He played during our UCL journey, and has been here for such beautiful moments.

It really sucks for Mateu, because I feel that he could have really made something out of his time at this beautiful club. But he didn’t have the chance. When your body is fighting against all your hopes and dreams, hampering your potential and ability, it is a very hard road for success, more often than not resulting in failure. He didn’t deserve his year long, practically career ending injury, but it happened anyway. He still clearly loves the club, and it’s something I will forever be thankful for.

Thank you for everything Marius and Mateu!

it will always hurt...

normal reaction when you choose the wrong team at Padel 👀 @mariuswolf27

Who was going to tell me Mats and Marius Wolf, of all people, are padel buddies? What other secret Dortmund bromances are there that we aren’t aware of? 👀

Oh… well I hope Dortmund fail then! Really disappointed in them. 🙄

(I’m aware Madrid have a Zionist, I’m just surprised at a club who claims to be progressive would take such a stance…)

Marco Reus.

Where do I begin?

Loyal? Captain? Faithful? Teacher?

To many of us Dortmund fans, Marco Reus is the man who made us fans of the club. He spent 22 years with us, from youth ranks to the first team, and almost every moment in between. Not all of us have seen the whole journey, but that is okay.

We saw what we could, and each time, we were mesmerized. Mesmerized by his goal scoring ability, his vision, his off the ball movement, and all other fancy football terms. He is undoubtedly the best to ever wear the black and yellow, to don the schwarz-gelb, to play in the Westfalenstadion. He is the kind of player that as a child, we would stay up late to watch YouTube highlight compilations of, just to rewatch his magic.

His aesthetics aren’t typically what he is known for, though. What has always defined his career to non Dortmund supporters has been his loyalty to the club, his ever lasting trust in us. From when he renewed his contract when we were in the relegation zone, to when he stuck by us after each and every lost game, ruined DFB Pokal competitions, titles that slipped through our fingers by just a hair, and most recently, our second place finish in the UCL final, he always dusted himself off and told us that he would always stand with us through our struggles.

Never considering a move to Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, or any other club while in his prime and their peak, he solidified himself as the best player to grace a “second rate team in the farmers league,” as so many doubters liked to put it. He had raised the Dortmund level so much, showed his abilities, his resilience, and faithfulness to the badge. Each time an elite club came asking for his services, the answer was always the same: “No, I want to stay at Dortmund,” or, “No amount of money will make me leave.” He has become synonymous with Borussia Dortmund. When people ask what’s so special about this club, the answer is will always be, “Marco Reus. He is Dortmund.”

Now he is leaving. He isn’t leaving in the way any of us wanted, no UCL, no title, but he leaves as our biggest ever legend. He wasn’t even the one to make the choice, which saddens us all, but like all good things, his time at Dortmund must come to an end.

He may not have as many trophies as Robert Lewandowski, or the pure skill of Messi, or the presence of Ronaldo, but he’s still just as memorable as them. When looking at lists of the best players of our generation his name will always be on the list.

Thank you for everything, Marco. I hope I’ll see you at the club again one day.

Still annoyed about Mats not getting the call up. We can say everything about his performances, but it’s clear the call ups weren’t based off that. He would have been on the list if it was based off form.

It’s most likely Bagelsmann being worried about someone who can question authority, and Mats has shown he can do that with Terzic, so he’s probably not below doing it with Bagelsmann too.

He is also a 35 year old man who can handle being on the bench for a few matches like a big boy because he is a professional who knows what comes with the job. If he doesn’t fit against a certain opponent, he doesn’t play, and that is especially true with his age at this point.

I just think it’s ridiculous that Mats can’t offer anything in Nagelsmann’s eyes, especially with his recent performances. It would have been real nice to see Jule called up too, but instead we got Koch and Robert Andrich, none of which will probably see playing time.

At least we got Fülle and Schlotti on the squad, real proud for them, they truly deserve it after all their hard work. It’s good they got seen.

Rant over. 😞
