I saw someone mention that the last time Buck and Eddie weren't on the same engine, Buck ended up getting his leg crushed by a firetruck. Which, yeah, that happened, but it seems like EVERYTIME Buck and Eddie are separated at all, something had happens.
1. On different firetrucks? Buck gets his leg crushed.
2. Buck and Eddie momentarily separated at the party? Blood clot.
3. Eddie in the well and Buck not down there with him? Eddie nearly dies.
4. Eddie in the burning house with the kid and Buck outside, not with him? Nearly could've fuckin died.
5. Buck stuck at home and Eddie at work? Tsunami!
6. Buck and Eddie can't talk because of the lawsuit? Eddie starts fighting and goes to jail.
7. Buck in the burning building in Buck Begins and Eddie is outside? Buck nearly fucking dies.
8. Buck and Eddie separated for a moment in Jinx? Eddie sees Ana again (yes im counting this as a bad thing).
9. Eddie working and Buck being with him but not working officially as his partner when they save that boy's mom? Eddie gets shot.
10. Ana is assumed to be Christopher's mom? Panic attack!
But Eddie DIDN'T have a full blown panic attack at the firehouse when Ana was assumed to be his wife and you know why? Because Buck was there. As soon as Ravi made that comment, Eddie looked to BUCK. Not Ana. Buck. He looked to Buck for comfort and he was the only one who seemed to realize that something was wrong.
MY POINT IS!!!! BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN OUR BOYS ARE SEPARATED AND SO THEM HAVING NEW PARTNERS IN 5X05 AND MAYBE 5X06 AND 5X07, IT'S NOT GONNA GO WELL!
NOTHING. GOOD. HAPPENS. WHEN. THEY'RE. SEPARATED.
It's like the universe is screaming at you, and you refuse to listen.
I MADE THESE FOR ALL MY FELLOW CLOWNS!! BEING A BUDDIE SHIPPER THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY BUT NOW IM CONVINCED 100% THAT BUDDIE IS GOING CANON THIS SEASON!! DON’T BE SHY..MAKE ONE OF THESE YOUR LOCK SCREEN 😉😏
a lot of TERFs speak like they’re giving a speech in a movie. One time one of them referred to me & my “brethren”, which they then had to clarify meant trans people and their supporters. I still think about that and laugh sometimes. “you and your brethren” fedgyejgfjhdgsjhksa like what are we, viking warriors?
reblog if you are a viking for trans rights
I'm all in to be a Viking warrios 😂
i want buck and eddie to be completely whiny, unreasonable, petty little children about being separated
i want both of them CONSTANTLY bringing up the other.
“eddie always” , “buck never -” , “eddie would know.” “buck and i -”
and hen and ravi just spend the entire shift like “LORD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH AND PATIENCE TO GET THROUGH THIS SHIFT AND GET THIS MAN BACK TO HIS HUSBAND.”
👀 👀
My friend @idealuk just asked me how I think Ana will handle the breakup and…does anyone think some of that attitude they’ve given her the last two weeks will carry over?
She’s clearly uncomfortable. She’s clearly been careful with her words because she doesn’t want to make things even more awkward between them.
Let her tell Eddie she saw this coming!! Let her tell Eddie that he needs to figure out what he really wants!! Hell, maybe SHE should say something about listening to/following his heart.
I think having Ana acknowledge Eddie’s emotional distance would help him realize he’s not fooling anyone. And it would make the fans who crave more depth happy because, whoa! She actually has a backbone!
For those who watched the show from the beginning while it was playing on TV when did people start shipping buddie? Like at what point were people talking about them as a ship?
I didn’t start watching till mid way through season 3 and buddie was definitely being talked about a lot at that point
I guess...after the first episode together?😂😂😂
I mean, they has this incredibly chemistry since day one, the Christmas episode was definitely the ones that made people think "ohhhh yhis ship is sailed and it's not coming back".
("you two have a wonderful son")
Pretty much from there.
What came after that was adding feelings to that ship. I remember that many times I thought "this is what married people act, not two best friends, not even two siblings".
After watching all of 911, Buddie doesn't feel like a queerbait ship.
No one jokes about them being a married couple or having crushes on each other or spending so much time together. Their relationship and the fact that they are basically in each other's pockets is supported by everyone around them. They get looks from the others when they do couple like things, but it's never to make them feel wrong about it or to point out that they're "acting gay". When one of them is hurt and the other is out of their mind with grief, that grief is respected and treated with care.
Queerbaited ships don't do that, they don't feel like that.
It genuinely feels like their are working towards a genuine romantic relationship with Buddie.
But I'm still hesitant to trust that because of the of the other ships that were queerbait.
All of this
A concept for a later episode/Eddie’s coming out.
Eddie has been having more panic/anxiety attacks (because there’s still stuff he’s hiding), though not as severe as with Ana, but Buck sees something is wrong with him. Buck approaches him about it, maybe in the bunk room (which we haven’t yet seen so I dunno if they’d build a set for that but why the hell not). And Eddie says he can’t talk about it, and, still tense and agitated from his last near attack/nightmare, adds, “least of all to you.”
To which Buck reacts surprised, concerned, confused. And Eddie instantly knows he’s said a bad thing, doesn’t want Buck’s insecurities to rise again and tries to backtrack with something like “Shit, I didn’t mean… It’s not about you. It’s not about me not trusting you. It’s just– I can’t. You know, just forget about it okay?”
Buck, of course, presses on, tells Eddie he could tell him anything, and that he should, but before he can try to weasel it out of Eddie, the bell goes off.
They are called into a mansion where an alarm went off, nothing to be seen from the outside, so the team splits up and goes investigating where the fire might be. Eddie and Buck head upstairs, master bedroom, walk-in closet which is really big but not quite a full dressing room. It has a solid door, however, and suddenly the door falls shut with a click and a beep because the alarm system closed all doors electronically. So Buck contacts Cap and tells him they’re in the “dressing room off the master bedroom” (he calls it that at first), and Cap says they’re gonna try to get to them once they made sure there’s no fire or other people at risk.
Then Buck turns to Eddie and says, “Great, we’re locked inside a closet.” (not thinking about any double entendre).
And Eddie suddenly just bursts out laughing. He’s near hysterical, can’t stop the giggles (albeit sarcastic, a bit frustrated, resigned). And Buck just stares at him with furrowed brow, until Eddie looks up, lets out another sarcastic little huff of breath and says, “Yeah, that’s exactly where I’m at.”
Buck still doesn’t fully get it, looking back at Eddie quizzically, who just wears that soft but resigned look as if to say ‘come on, don’t make me spell it out’, and finally Buck’s eyes widen in understanding.
And then, of course, they have a conversation about it, Buck leading with ‘Oh Eddie, you don’t have to be afraid of telling me that,’ continuing with asking how he figured it out, since when, and why he thought he couldn’t tell Buck. But before Eddie can either confess that it’s because he has feelings for Buck or find a way to gloss over it, the others open the door and inform them that there was smoke in the basement laundry room coming from a faulty dryer, but no real fire, and that the home’s security system had just gone nuts over it.
I'm feeling pretty much 🤡 but a girl can still hope, right?
the last time i watched two grown men stare into each other’s eyes and ignore everyone around them for minutes at a time while refusing to acknowledge their feelings for one another, i was baited for 10 years and it was hell but dammit… i am ready to do it again. here’s to hoping the fruity firefighters don’t make us wait that long. cheers.
finally finished 911 season 4 and
Im just confused as to why eddie had to leave it in his will that if he died buck would become christopher’s legal guardian like dude, arent u husbands already????? Also i was srsly just staring at the screen while buddie angst 7unfolded and IM SO FRUSTRATED RN LIKE GIVE US BUDDIE
This is what happens when TayKay pops in next episode:
Buck: Eddie broke up with Ana. He realized he was in denial about her
TK: Finally? Okay then *starts collecting her bag*
Buck: wait where are you going?
TK: Home, I've got a bottle of wine waiting
Buck: but I thought--
TK: I'm breaking up with you Buck. You're awesome, but you aren't it for me and I'm not it for you
Buck: no of course not--I mean, uh, that is, uh--
TK: Eddie isn't the only one in denial. Take care *delivers cheek kiss and heads on home*
So I saw this gif on Tumblr:
And it made me think about my blocking class at school last week (I’m a Video Production major).
I just wanna check. Did anyone else notice Ana’s placement in this shot? Hell in this whole scene? Legit, AS SOON as Buck touches Chris Ana is placed directly between them and Eddie. As if her presence literally gets in the way of the three of them being together.
I mean, I can’t get over how fuckin HAPPY Eddie looks when he sees Buck with Chris. But that blocking CANNOT be an accident.
Ok but where could this go other than buddie, realistically? If eddie doesn't want ana (who is beautiful and kind and who gets on well with chris and who he genuinely liked at first), where else is there to go? Bring in another female character who he just happens to be more comfortable with? What could that woman have that ana doesn't? Have him end up with no one? That wouldn't be very satisfying, especially after this 'failed attempt', right? Like, I'm just thinking where this could go if they wanted to keep eddie straight.
this is something i’ve actually thought about a lot so im gonna rant at you, but just to preface it all, i really can’t see them going any other direction at this point
their best shot at putting eddie in a relationship with anyone other than buck was ana. we met her in s3 and they started laying the foundation for her coming back later on. i remember even as a casual viewer back then understanding that they would bring her back and put her together with eddie at some point. and on paper, she sounds perfect for him. she’s nice and (according to the writers) good with christopher, and the rest you could develop later on, right?
so they easily could’ve done right by that relationship, and put in the work to develop it into something meaningful. i don’t think it would ever have the same depth as bathena and madney since ana’s not a first responder and they don’t focus on those characters (with a few exceptions every now and then), but it still could’ve been done at least somewhat well. so why not her? why would they take a relationship that had potential and tear it down
and sure you can argue that dating her was an important step in him healing from his grief before he can settle into a healthy and fulfilling relationship with whatever woman ends up being the “one” - and don’t get me wrong, it absolutely was an important step for him, but…the writers don’t care about this. maddie and bobby (and athena and chim to a lesser extent) all had been through severe relationship trauma, and yet the writers didn’t feel it was necessary to have any of them date around before finding the one. and they also have buck for the dating around storylines (which - clearly they don’t care about considering how little development his relationship with ali got or how wack the writing has been for bt), so yeah i don’t buy that either
the only other possibility i could’ve seen is them bringing in a new female main (possibly to replace hen once she graduates from med school, idk) but a few things with that. carla’s comment about following his heart is framed in a way that implies there’s already someone on the other end of that, if that makes sense. both in the context of that comment and just in general, it would be very weird and repetitive for them to make him take time from dating someone after breaking up with ana (especially because he’s already been single for most of his time on the show) just to do this whole thing all over again and have him find the “one”
and thats not even going into the implications of him having literal panic attacks at the mere suggestion of ana being his wife or christopher’s mother, which goes way beyond just realizing you’re not in love with someone, or the development that buck and eddie’s relationship continues to receive in a way that the other friendships on the show don’t and that the other relationships on the show do, so yeah, i truly can’t see anything else happening
Friend. That episode scrambled my brain. How are you holding up? I need to talk about Buck in this episode. Dear, wonderful, pulls-no-punches Buck. Buck in THAT scene — The Talk.
Or, can you talk to me about Buck? (What with my scrambled brain and all.) The way the shooting — their shared trauma and the will — Eddie's act of profound love for Chris AND Buck, for their family — have this physical presence around them, inside of this cherished bubble they built. The inherent tension between these two things — the fear of loss and the love. How Buck is the one who alludes to them, is the one to begin to push. But neither of them are willing or able to sit fully with them just yet. About how Eddie folded like a cheap suit at the gentlest of prods, and the choices Buck made about where to push. And where not to.
Can we talk about the layers of subtext in every single word of The Talk? "Is that enough?" "I've been Ana..." "...like a ready-made family...I'm not sure I'm ready for that..." *Buck's face...* The way Buck evoked his own experiences, as if they have value, because he knows he matters now, because Eddie told him he's not expendable...
The way Eddie remains a stubborn fixed point in his denial (this is not going to last), but Buck is watching, thinking thoughts and connecting dots.
Anyway, this is me rambling in your ask box to get you to talk to me about Buck.
*pours two cups of coffee* @yramesoruniverse always good to see you thanks for stopping by, and you don't even need to ask I'm ready at the drop of a hat to get weird and meta about these firefighters.
I think these two episodes fundamentally shifted something in my brain, for sure. There's a lot of calling-back happening, subtle mentions and locations and props that niggle at your memory a bit to think where have I heard this before and given how similar S4 Eddie was to S2 Buck, I am interested to see additional implied parallels from this season to S3.
You want to talk about Buck, let's talk about Buck. Let's talk about the deliberate placement of him, once again, in opposition to Ana. Let's talk about how him and Ana, in that one scene, do not interact at all. I mean, there's no quick niceties, they don't even make eye contact to acknowledge the other's existence, which I think is an enormously effective and sneaky way to show how these two people have become proxies trading places in Eddie's life, for all intents and purposes serving the same function, which is why they have thus far been contrasted separately, and why it feels so tense when they are in this moment together. And it felt like a test. Ana failed. Buck didn't.
Let's talk about the shooting and the guardianship, especially the guardianship, how they have not been explicitly and thoroughly addressed. Idk if it's just me but it feels like there's a heaviness to all of Buck and Eddie's scenes, this unmentioned thing taking up space that they are painstakingly dancing around.
There's so much in that Talk scene at the station. So many layers. It's funny; they don't talk about their love lives until it starts to disrupt the real family unit they got going on between them and Chris. This is married behavior. This is what partners do, as a team with a kid to think about. You need to tell me if something is wrong. This is one significant other telling the other one that their problems are starting to cause waves and they need to touch base with each other, get back on the same page. And the way Eddie folds, because he knows, because he and Buck are partners, because they built this thing between them and it requires ongoing love and dedication to maintain.
Buck inserting himself as Ana? Buck and Eddie having this conversation about what real love should look like? That fucking pause before Eddie looks up at Buck, like something is going on there but I cannot pinpoint exactly what. There's so much I haven't even begun to unpack.
It is literally driving me insane. The subtext has become text. I don't even....what is the protocol for this?
I'm scared that if we do get Buddie, they're going to ruin it.
