Thinking about Buck getting in the habit of saying “I love you” whenever he feels it after he takes in Theo. Because he remembers growing up in a house where he didn’t feel it often, let alone hear it (especially after Maddie left). And he never says it just to say it, he only says it if he means it.
So, it starts with Theo. Then he starts with Chris, and he tries not to tear up whenever he says it back. Obviously he says it a lot to Maddie. And soon enough he’s telling the team multiple times a shift.
But there’s something about saying it to Eddie that feels…different. So he holds back a little, doesn’t say it nearly as often as he feels it. And he tries to only say it when they’re around other people. And he’s not really sure why.
eddie calls buck brother one time and then the ambulance that they were both just in explodes. buck calls eddie brother one time and then a christmas elf calls them gay. eddie says he's straight one time and then a gay priest is immediately like, sure jan how's denying yourself joy going for you? the universe does in fact scream i think.
eddie calls buck brother in nashville and then buck gets kidnapped by serial killers and also the entire town assumes he and buck are husbands hello is anyone listening can anyone hear me
I don't need AI in edits. I don't give a shit if you guys can make them kiss. Call me a boomer but you can make a good edit with just the subtext that makes people go are they together when they haven't watched the show. Splice the audio and have bad editing skills like a normal person.
On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."
As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.
As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.
May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.
I saw someone use the fact that Buck said he wasn't in love with Eddie in 8x11 as decisive evidence that Buck was not in love with Eddie, and like, my dude, did you watch the rest of the episode?
I can't wait for season 10 where they parallel everything Shannon wanted from Eddie as a partner and Eddie is able to give it to Buck. Eddie never runs away and is a partner through the difficulties of having a child with special needs. He doesn't feel the need to be this idea of being the head of a family and instead sees family as a team effort and then realizes his new normal.

99% of fanfiction is absolute dogshit bathwater and that’s beautiful, I love that, I love that the barrier for entry is nonexistent, I love that anyone can do it, I love all the badly written porn, I love that it’s just creation for creation’s sake, I love it. Except when it’s something I’m into. When it’s something I’m into, then I’m gonna need everyone to step it up.
