I’m not going to articulate this well. but like. buck doesn’t see himself as chris’s dad and he has never seen himself as chris’s dad.

even though he has loved him like his own child since at least season three, eddie is chris’s dad, and chris doesn’t need another parent. at any time, eddie could remove chris from buck’s life and there would be nothing buck could do about it. I don’t think buck thinks this will happen, but I think he is acutely aware that his place in chris’s life is technically undefined and entirely dependent on his relationship with eddie (which is also. undefined.), and I think he is very careful not to make any assumptions about his relationship with chris or cross any boundaries, in part because he would never want to imply that eddie is not enough for chris, and in part because of what chris being essentially buck’s kid would mean about his relationship with eddie.

and chris doesn’t see buck as his dad either (for entirely different reasons). he loves buck, he knows he can count on buck and that buck will always be there for him, but to chris buck is and always has been his buck. not his parent. I think as their relationship stands now chris will look back when he’s a bit older and realize that buck was like a parent to him. but as it stands I think he’s young enough and close enough to it that he doesn’t really interrogate buck’s place in his life.

I think the person who sees buck as chris’s parent/chris as buck’s kid the most is eddie, in that I think he recognizes the most that buck is an incredibly important person in chris’s life, and he feels completely secure about buck’s place in chris’s life. he tried to share that security with buck in the form of the will, but ultimately I don’t think that ever settled that way in buck’s brain. I think buck has always seen it as a display of trust that buck will be always be there rather than a promise of security that buck will always be there . like chris and eddie kind of take for granted that buck will always be around, and assume that he knows that they’ll always want him around, but I don’t think he really does. due to his issues.

so it makes sense to me that buck would want to take on a more clearly-defined parent role (not that his role in Theo’s life is any more defined right now, but I digress) AND I think it would be a super interesting conflict to explore how buck wanting/having a(nother) kid would affect eddie (who has always felt that buck had a secure place as a co-parent in chris’s life) and chris (who has never really had to interrogate buck’s place in his life before but might find himself doing so now)

(unfortunately to explore the undefined nature of buck and chris’s relationship that they almost necessarily have to explicitly explore the undefined nature of buckandeddie’s relationship which they are. allergic to doing. so we shall see)

shane & ilya & rose & svetlana go on vacation together and the other hotel guests and employees are super ??? about their dynamic because of how touchy they are with eachother.

shane and ilya will die if they’re not touching (“okay those two are definitely together”)

svetlana and ilya and rose go clubbing but shane goes to bed early and they come back to the hotel drunk asf, arms around eachother, dying of laughter (“oh so it’s a throuple?”)

shane and rose go on a sunrise hike and rose is leaning on shane and they’re casual huggers (“maybe those two are dating or is he cheating on the guy?”)

svetlana scolding ilya about wearing sunscreen in russian and he’s arguing back (“that sounds like wife yelling not friend yelling”)

svetlana and rose being super touchy and complimenting eachother a lot and doing eachothers hair (“oh lord they’re so hot together”)

they’re eating breakfast at the hotel and they’re all feeding each other and grabbing things for each other and “try the orange juice it’s so good” and “i got you coffee” (“i’m soooo confused maybe they’re poly?”)

svetlana and shane both playing with ilya’s hair and talking about hockey and ignoring ilya (“they’re not letting that poor guy speak”) - ilya is beyond happy

egregiously humorous to me that there was no actual reason to stab Eddie. Like he got stabbed because he prayed and was hot. Abuela died because Eddie prayed and was hot. The mustache died because Eddie prayed and was hot. Eddie STOP praying, we've lost enough.

“Buck risked his life for Eddie and Chris” YES AND THATS BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO EDDIE THOUGHT IT WAS A HATE CRIME THE WHOLE TIME. HE THOUGHT HE AND BUCK WERE HATECRIMED BECAUSE EVERYONE ASSUMED THEY WERE GAY AND NEITHER OF THEM DENIED IT. THE POLICE WERE NOT HELPING HIM BECAUSE EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY WERE GAY. AND EDDIE, TEXAS-BORN-AND-RAISED CATHOLIC EDDIE “OH IM STRAIGHT” DIAZ, STILL DIDNT DENY BEING QUEER AND WAS STILL WILLING GO AFTER THE GUYS THAT HE THOUGHT DID IT EVEN THOUGH THEY VERY WELL COULD HAVE KILLED HIM FOR BEING QUEER (FROM HIS POV). AND WHEN HE REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE BARREL OF ANOTHER GUN DESPITE HAVING PTSD FROM BEING SHOT TWICE AND HE DIDNT BACK DOWN UNTIL HE KNEW BUCK WAS OKAY!!!

GUYS WE ARE SO CLOSE

As a married person I do need to tell you all that Shane and Ilya do weird shit all the time.

They routinely have entire conversations where Ilya is very softly smacking Shane's foot the entire time. Shane enjoys the percussive feedback.

Ilya mispronounces the word "Application" and they just sit there mutually whispering 'Aaap-li-caaa-shun' at each other for the next thirty seconds.

Ilya comes up behind Shane while he's trying to make a smoothie and says 'HELPING HANDS' and puts his arms under Shane's armpits.

Ilya sees Shane undressing in the bathroom and yells, "Take it all off!"

Shane carries Anya into the bedroom and holds her over Ilya's chest and moves her paws and says, "Papa it is me. Papa it has been an whole hour since I ate. Papa I am so hungry and sad." then drops her on his stomach.

Shane comes into the home office and grabs a pen off the desk and puts it against Ilya's cheek and says, "Any last words?" and Ilya says, "I wish I had eaten more dumplings."

Ilya spends an entire episode of House Hunters International with his hand down Shane's pants. It's not doing anything in there either it's just keeping warm.

Sometimes they are just mutually awake at three AM for No Reason and they go stand on the porch and stare at the empty street together.

Sometimes they are laying there playing footsie on the couch while on their phones (Parallel play) and Shane says, "Does your mouth ever do that squeezing thing. You know. When you eat." And Ilya says "Explain" and they spend the next ten minutes dissecting whether this is a Human Experience or a Shane Experience.

Sometimes Ilya will put his head on Shane's stomach and say, "Show me your boooones" and wait for Shane to lift his shirt so he can burrow under it.

I just think that we as a fandom need to embrace how Weird married people get about each other. From personal experience I am telling you it is SO FUN.
