You're telling me that Chenford's conflict in this episode is Valentine's Day gift shenanigans!? That's the cutest f*cking sh*t ever they're such cutie patooties ISTG 😭😭😭

[seanwinchester]

one painful thing in s8 is dean blaming sam for things he did while soulless (when in s6&7 it didn't matter bc he "wasn't himself") AND later implying that sam lost his soul on purpose, like a bad decision he made (akin to "trusting ruby"), something he would need to confess, as if, if there's one thing in this show sam truly had no control on, it isn't this

I'm willing to look past the first instance as the cursed penny amplifies people's anger past the point of rationality, but in the second one he's perfectly calm and sincere, which is objectively worse. the contrast of these two scenes happening towards the start of the season (when their relationship is tense) and the very end of it (when they're good), is mindblowingly insane

8x06 spec

okay okay HEAR ME OUT

so in 8x06 they have a call to a lawyers office right? and the stills make it look like the man and the woman are getting a divorce. maybe they're figuring out how to split their assets...

maybe buck and Tommy discuss moving in together in this episode or they drop the 'ily', and buck becomes a bit ?!?!? because obviously his last serious relationship with Taylor didnt really work out.

and then the 118 go on this call and buck is even more like ?!?!? after seeing these people like fighting it out over a vase or something when they used to be madly in love, and he starts to spiral thinking him and Tommy might end up like that...

so he goes to dispatch for advice, and Maddie and josh basically tell him that that won't happen to him and Tommy and he needs to stop worrying over stuff that hasn't happened yet. maybe Maddie asks him how he really feels and he has the "I do love him" moment which clarifies it for him.

esp because, lets be honest, Maddie and josh look wayyyy to happy in those stills...

so maybe it ends with buck and Tommy actually talking their worries through instead of buck bottling it up, he's actually honest about how he's feeling the time. buck is getting off the hamster wheel, working through relationship hurdles, trying to make the relationship work, and doing things with purpose instead of finding himself in situations with no idea how he got there. this relationship means something different this time, it's not going to be easy (as teased...).

not quite sure how it links with the teased 'Tommys past', maybe he has a big failed previous relationship... not sure.

one main reason for thinking this is because there's usually a call that mimics what's going on in their personal lives.. something symbolic, meant to make them realise something. if the call is what I think it is, it could be very poignant for buck and Tommy (in a positive way, obvs).

Buck realization moment 8x8??

I’m trying to lower my expectations because I don’t want to be disappointed come March if nothing happens, but seriously what else are they doing!!??

Evidence

All the stuff from 8x6 (see earlier post for all the set up I mentioned, I don’t feel like repeating it here)

This being the first real talking one on one Buddie scene all season

Buck using his key to go into Eddie’s house with no invite whatsoever

Him flirting while he’s asking about the iPad

Him going to Eddie every time he thinks about Tommy (after the breakup in 8x6 and now this scene!)

”Let’s move this party to the couch” (couch theory!!)

Buddie kitchen scene!

The rapid blink at the end of the scene and the little “oh” expression

Please have Buck realize his feelings, or have this be the beginning of it. Make that his arc in 8B! Have him hook up with random people to cope with these new feelings/with the news that Eddie is leaving. Then have him realize he needs Eddie! Have him spiral out of control! This is the slow burn setup for a relationship that Oliver Stark wants for Buck!

March 6th could not come sooner!
