Hey there, I'm RileyDavis37. I won't be online often due to school but I'll be on whenever I have free time

[allovesthings]

When I say I want a reverse-tsunami with Eddie and Theo, I don't actually mean I want a tsunami, I want an emergency where Eddie and Theo are together and Eddie has to protect him alone while Buck is not there.

The emergency can be anything.

[relicunth]

Eddie is gonna spoil Theo ROTTEN if only because he loves doting on a little kid again now that Chris is a moody teen

Y’all say Buck won’t be able to say no to the kid, but Eddie? He’ll be throwing cookies at that boy

[bamfbuddie]

“Buck, he wants cookies, just make him some.”

“Eddie, I can’t give him anymore sugar!”

“Buck, look at him. He’s the most sweetest little boy ever! You really going to deny him?!”

Buck glances at Theo who is sitting like an angel in Eddie’s lap, colouring on a book, head nuzzled against Eddie’s chest. He has no idea how Eddie gets him to sit still.

“But-”

“But nothing, Buck, come on. A couple cookies aren’t gonna hurt.”

“Fine, but you’re putting him to bed.”

“Deal.”

Buck huffs. The second Eddie turns his attention to Christopher, Theo sticks his tongue out at Buck. Buck’s mouth drops open. He can’t believe his biological son has Eddie wrapped around his finger like that. Damn, guess he really is a Buckley.

Buck chuckles but makes the cookies anyways.

[pretty-fishy]

Reversal Will Reveal concept, where Buck also just writes Eddie in as Theo's guardian and also just does not tell Eddie.

Until Eddie's talking to Maddie and somehow gets on to mention Maddie taking Theo if something happens to Buck.

And Maddie just "?? I mean I obviously would, but aren't you taking him?"

Eddie's like "what?"

And Maddie's "Well you are Theo's guardian in Buck Will"

And Eddie gets to experience a taste of his own medicine in that moment

[tarichaosqueen]

Eddie just stares at Maddie for a few seconds, blinking rapidly, before blurting out, "Him not telling me is payback for when I did the same thing with Chris, isn't it?"

Maddie stares back at Eddie before heaving a big sigh and draining her wine glass.

"What, EXACTLY, do you mean when you say you did the same thing? When did this happen?" Maddie rubs her temples, suddenly seeming exhausted.

Eddie just shrugs and keeps his eyes trained on the wine glass Maddie just drained. "I dunno...do you remember shortly after the Christmas you and Chim got together, when I got trapped underground?" He sees Maddie nod hesitantly out of the corner of his eye before continuing, "About a week after that."

The silence that follows is deafening as Maddie calculates the time frame before blurting out, "You'd known Buck for a year and a half at this point, and you chose him over every one else? Why did Chris go stay with your parents instead of Buck if that's the case? And why are you and Buck more married and in love than me and Chim without actually being married?!"

Eddie looks like a deer caught in headlights, unable to process anything after hearing "you and Buck...married" because OH

Oh

Eddie likes the sound of that.

Eddie cuts off Maddie's rant that he wasn't listening to. "Sorry, I gotta go propose to your brother, we're fixing the not married part asap."

[desertdinerbuddie]

You know what, I’d love it if we started s10 with Eddie and Maddie at odds with each other over the Theo situation.

Maddie is being distant and disapproving, keeping herself and Jee away from Theo, stressing at every opportunity that it’s only temporary, etc.

Meanwhile Eddie is being over-invested and defensive, putting himself right in the middle of it all and barking like a guard dog any time anyone tries to get near Buck or Theo, or to question anything Buck does, or to even suggest he might need their help.

Ultimately it’s because Maddie is terrified that Buck will be broken hearted if Theo’s grandma or whatever turns up and takes him away, so she’s trying to protect him by being cautious and careful with how far she connects with Theo, trying to model a safe route through a rough situation.

And Eddie is working through his own issues about both the way his parents made (make) him feel inadequate when he was (is) trying to care for Chris, and also his massive guilt about not being the supportive partner Shannon needed for those first few years, by making Buck feel like his decisions are good ones no matter what anyone says (including Buck when he questions himself or wants to ask for help from other people), and showing him that Eddie has his back.

So they’re both coming from a place of love and support, but they’re approaching it so differently that it creates tension and conflict between them, which makes everything worse.

I just think it’d be hilarious if their first ever one on one scene is them passive aggressively fighting over who’s best at loving Buck.

[allovesthings]

I do find it really funny when people call Eddie a brat tamer....

That man is not a brat Tamer, he loves it when Buck is a brat. He thinks it's funny. He is a brat enabler.

[pretty-fishy]

Why argue for "excited big brother" Chris vs "complicated feeling of being replaced" Chris when the correct answer is clearly both

Him being both big brotherly and exciting for his new family member and having complicated feelings about Buck having a "Real" kid and the undefined role Buck plays in his life are not mutually exclusive and should both be explored

Girl who fundamentally understands that making Moon Lin Ling's love interest would ultimately undermine the point of her story- forcing her back into the role of girlfriend when all she wants is to be free to do her own thing- but also is a big fan of the "pretty boy blushes, giggles, and kicks his feet as his feral racoon of a girlfriend destroys shit" trope

[rileydavis37]

I totally agree with this! but if they were to get together in the show, I'd want it to on Moon's terms. Lin Ling has shown that he cares more about giving Moon her freedom than his own desire to spend time with her by coming up with a plan to set her free. I feel like, in general, if Moon wanted a romantic relationship, she'd want to keep it secret/private from the public. She's had enough of the public having control of her life, and Lin Ling, being the sweet boy he is, would definitely support this. A secret relationship trope would be interesting, and I could see Moon continuing to travel around the world but also coming back to visit Lin Ling.

A free spirited (ocassional feral raccoon) girlfriend with her supportive golden receiver, pretty boy boyfriend would be adorable 😭💜
