Does anybody have any advice for how to separate the Buck&Eddie that exist in your head from the Buck and Eddie on the show?

At the moment when I watch a very smitten ‘show Eddie’ almost kiss Ana I feel so hurt and betrayed on behalf of ‘my Buck’, making it unbearable to watch. Which is ridiculous because intellectually I know that ‘show Eddie’ and ‘my Buck’ don’t exist in the same sphere. Clearly, ‘show Buck’ isn’t hurt (yet?) so I shouldn’t feel upset on his behalf. But understanding and feeling are two different things and I just can’t bring myself to like Ana yet because she’s inadvertently causing ‘my Buck’ a lot of pain. (And vice versa with the potential Buck/Taylor.)

If buddie doesn’t become canon and Ana and Eddie become a permanent thing, I really don’t want to spend every episode dreading their scenes. I want to find a way to be happy for the version of Buck and Eddie that exist on the show.

This feels very human to have these reactions. You know how we never want flat characters? We want to see character growth. We want to see change. We want to definitely see woman as other than love interests, but that’s how they’re tying Ana into this narrative right now. A former teacher who was potential love interest and then they have to develop her more; tell me about how Ms. Flores became a teacher/maestra, was it always her passion? Tell me about her family (madre, padre, hermanas/hermanos, tias/this/primas/primos, abuleas/abuelos). ?Quienes son sus amigos? Quienes Ana Flores? Ella es muy hermosa, lo se pero quien es ella. (Punctuation is for bs but wanted to try some Español) 😆

What I would mainly be miffed about is if this does become heterosexual besties dating and becoming serious with their women. Because no. We at least have enough in evidence for bisexual Evan Buckley so the show should at least give us that. If they don’t that’s where I’ll feel robbed and/or very confused by the storytelling then. Buck and Taylor don’t bother me too much, but I’d love to be surprised by it remaining platonic. But I have lousy faith in it staying that way.

First and foremost, I like to think of this as stopping points. Should’ve reblogged the post but @buddie4ever20 pointed out Eddie’s line “had to take a detour” as some kind of you know message. Ooh does it have double meaning? Had to take detour, well that’s what the winter finale sure looked like to me. Secondly, I try to focus on the idea (loosely in my mind) that Buck and Eddie are good friends, close friends and they should bring the best out of each other. Right now we’re on a rocky path so to speak, but I feel like there’s enough to see that perhaps maybe they are trying to detach them as just friends. To make it known that there’s something else going on here. What is it? The universe hints are astronomical, but you know idk. Maybe they like beating a dead horse and really it’s about pairing them off with past love interests. Except I still raise you episode 4x03 Future Tense:

This does nothing to assuage any of these feelings but I try to hold out with the knowledge that the writers know what they’re doing. Maybe. 😐

Everything you said is very interesting and I guess you’re correct in that it boils down to how much faith you have in the writers taking a story in the direction you want it to go.

If there was some more certainty that buddie was going to be canon then I’d be happy to take all the detours in the world on the way there. But, because I’m struggling to be positive about canon buddie, these love interests leave me feeling what I laid out above.

I suppose it’s just a waiting game.
