i’m sorry but the scene in 7x04 where buck first sniffs a bottle of glue (for… no reason???? very unnecessary???) & proceeds to pass it to eddie who ALSO takes a sniff of the glue (AGAIN unprompted, no reasoning behind it) never fails to make me laugh bc why are they so fucking stupid. & then there’s just bobby nash in the background like 😧 in total DISBELIEF at what he’s seeing. these are two ppl who he entrusts with the lives of strangers & he was no fucking clue why (neither do we). it’s such a quick moment but it kills me every time.
I am sorry I am so down bad for Eddie, Buck AND Tommy and if you have to dog on one of these characters or their actors to 'validate' your ship, you've failed already. But as a mix-a-lot hispanic, Eddie is dear to me in ways that Buck and Tommy can't be. I am in love with that short, angry, beautiful, messy man with the brown eyes and a troubled soul yet equally beautiful heart that happens to be Mexican and Swedish and in possession of the cuntyest humor and sass only rivaled by Josh Russo (in another world people would of have seen the hilarity and potential of Jeddie and become delusional about the crackship of all crackships instead of a ship that changed harbors so to speak but I digress) and honestly they would be perf together and match eachothers freak as well as their unadulterated cunt serving and they would be that one couple that is so chaotic (affectionate) that people simultaneously love and hate to be around, just so unfiltered and unhinged, it would be goals. And honestly if the buddies really want bucktommy bones then they should root for jeddie because then wouldn't Buck get jealous and realize his 'true' feelings... but personally I would love if both Buck and Tommy got jealous and then BOOM BuddieTommy 💥 😜 😏 but alas I digress.
I’m just fed of the way some people would go all crazy about Tommy, a character that’s been there for barely four episode. I never liked Tommy, but the way some people have reacted to him as made me dislike him more. I needed to write this down to help me feel better. (Also yeah I’m an Eddie girl first and Buddie second, so I’m might be biased.)
Under the cut, since this is long and a bit of rant. Please you don’t have to read it, it’s to help me cope with the way fandom and the show as been going.
One of the biggest problems with making BuckTommy relationship believable is that Eddie as been involved in Bi Buck narrative since the beginning. It's never been only about BuckTommy.
Here are a few issues with that character. (They might seem small, but it doesn't help his character for me.)
There as been no interaction between Tommy & Hen & Chimney. Like it was said they forgave him, but I have yet to see that on my screen properly.
Tommy almost outing Buck on his first date to his friends. Shit comment to do knowing it was his first date with a man.
Leaving him on the side of the road without telling him the date was over. (Like yeah, he was allowed to stop the date, but to wait until his own Uber get there. Nope.)
Newly dating and yet won't make one small effort to dress up for the bachelor party. Yeah, it's not that big of a deal, but why won't you try to impress your date. (Also please don't use he's on call. He would have to change anyway.)
This is my side of it, but their hugs were awkward as hell and since I don't see any chemistry between them so was their kiss. (Yet I agree they have more chemistry when they are kissing, but their interactions are bland.)
Him always calling him Evan feels weird to me, especially of what we know about Buck's past.
So as of right know they have gone on 1 failed date, a small coffee meetup and kissed twice. (If you see love in there, I don’t know why.) We have yet to know how they would treat themselves outside of kissing as the show as not shown that yet. So, it's hard for me to believe they are in relationship when they are not making the effort to show it.
They could have made the effort to show him more involved in helping find Chimney during the wedding episode. Nope they had him come to the bachelor party not dressed up and then have him leave for the rest of the episode only for him to come back at the end to kiss Buck to advance Buck's story.
So, it's a little hard for me to believe in this relationship when after three episodes they keep having Eddie involved and they keep him away from another storyline so he's not involved at all.
Right now, he feels more like another lover interest than a character outside of Buck. For me Buck still feels like he’s on a hamster wheel and fell in another relationship that they are rushing through.
I love Bi Buck, but he doesn’t have to be with someone to learn how to realize those new feelings.
Buddie is it for me. No one can recreate what they have and if they want to keep him with a bland new love interest, then that’s it for me.
I feel like I’m late this but do you think the reason Eddie wasn’t with Buck in the Taking the Dispatch ep was because he was at school with Christopher?
I know lena bosko was there way as to get eddie in street fighting and buck to feel replaced but it just annoys me (not even in regards to buck) cause in season 1 there was only 4 of them so why need a replacement
I think the main reason they had her there was because basically had nowhere to go and they couldn’t send everyone to one fire house and had to split Lena’s original team up
So I kinda get it??? But yeah, they didn’t really do much to assure Buck he was still very much included :(
Also, that’s pretty much the reason i like Lena. like, you’re gonna take the dude with clear lack of impluse control and anger issues to street fighting??? take him to a bloody gym ffs that’s what boxing bags are for
still being delusional & believing eddie diaz will be gay in season 9. they got the perfect repressed gay man comes out in his thirties storyline sitting RIGHT THERE. tim minear, if you let this man torture one more beautiful woman istg—
you fucking 911 fans tricked me, i was like oh those gay firefighters are cute i’ll watch the show. boy are they gay BUT THEYRE NOT EVEN DATING?!?!?? your edits tricked me now i’m obsessed with this show & ship.
