9-1-1 R.I.P Buck's loft (2019-2025)
Listen the thing is,
This was hot.
This felt personal.
It was like I was intruding on something that I wasn't supposed to watch.
Both Buck and Taylor are hot people (insert Leo Snart's 'gay, not blind') but their one night stand didn't feel as intimate as Buck and Tommy.
Buck and Tommy took a breather, joked around before rushing to eat each other's face off again.
I remember wanting to look away because this felt like two people in love. And I didn't get the same vibe from Buck and Taylor.

Maybe Taylor will come back and she and Buck will resume this whirlwind relationship they started five years ago (I still have faith in that red string of fate). Or maybe we'll never see that hot reporter on our screens again.
At the end of this bucktayloranniversary, the most important thing we have to celebrate is the fandom that keeps this beautiful ship alive.
The second most important thing to celebrate is that bucktaylor is and always will be canon, which is more than a lot of other ships can say!
9-1-1 -> 2x8 "BUCK, ACTUALLY" / 7x5 "YOU DON'T KNOW ME"
Thinking about the bucktaylor of it all versus the bucktommy of it all.
And the way that Buck rekindling with both of them was actually all about Eddie.
But Taylor was never threatened by Eddie. And when she found out that Eddie had been shot, she immediately offered comfort and support, not just for Buck, but for Christopher, too, when she stopped Buck from going to him without cleaning up first.
There was a lot of hate projected onto Taylor, but the reality is that she was never once threatened by Buck's relationship with Eddie. In fact, she supported it. There's evidence she cared for both of them, even if only because Buck cared for Eddie. But she supported him through the shooting. And she noticed that Eddie was struggling in 5x11 the same way Buck did and encouraged Buck to talk to Eddie with that little nod.
Taylor understood that she was entering a relationship with a man whose best friend was a major priority in his life, and she embraced that.
Tommy, on the other hand, knows better than anyone—better than Taylor ever did—just how important Eddie and Christopher are to Buck. Their entire first kiss revolved around that very fact.
And then, when they rekindle—or at least start to—Tommy recognizes immediately that Buck is struggling with Eddie being gone. He knows what Eddie means to Buck. He recognizes that they are in Eddie's house and that that means something. Before they even hook up.
And then in the morning, when Tommy hints that they should pick back up where they left off, even knowing all of that? He calls Eddie competition and implies Eddie being gone means he's gone from Buck's life for good and no longer a problem for Tommy.
Instead of looking at this man he supposedly cares about and recognizing that he's hurting and offering support, Tommy thinks only of himself in that moment.
The difference there is staggering.
sage i can't stop thinking about what you said...... she was in love with him. he wasn't, ultimately. the bucktaylor story. oughhhh
it hurts me!!!!!! it’s so sad, she was in LOVE with him and even if he maybe wanted to be he just wasn’t. and never was. and never was going to be. and he got together with her right after eddie got shot and how many nights do you think taylor has lain awake staring at the ceiling doing a post mortem on that relationship and thinking you stupid stupid idiot of COURSE that’s why he wanted to date you, he was panicking. which is maybe true and maybe not true but probably FEELS true when you’re in your dark bedroom after a couple glasses of wine. there’s a post somewhere that pointed out that buck is taylor’s abby and i am still just thousand yard staring about it. god.
