crying laughing actually why are they like this

[officialeggsuprise]

Was thinking about them getting Buck back and everyone in his house and he finally manages to kick everyone out, well everyone except Eddie. Eddie just continues to walk around his house like he lives there doing chores for Buck. He’s doing his laundry from Nashville and Buck limps his way to the laundry room and is like “you know you can go home right?” And Eddie looks over his shoulder at him and nods “yeah I know.” But he just keeps going. Buck watches him for a bit but moves back to the living room listening to Eddie move around. Thinking about Eddie going into the kitchen to cook for Buck like Buck has cooked for his family over and over again, Buck plopping himself down at the island and watching Eddie and Eddie asking “aren’t you supposed to be resting?” To which Buck fires back “aren’t you?” There’s something heavy in the air between them, has been for a while now but it seems to have only gotten more noticeable since the kidnapping. Thinking about Buck once again telling Eddie he can go home in an attempt to get Eddie to not prioritize him, because Buck doesn’t want to somehow force Eddie to have to take care of him or put in more effort than he thinks he’s worth. Eddie fighting back finally saying that he needs to be here, with Buck because Buck could have been dead and Eddie couldn’t stop thinking of the scenario where they didn’t get him in time. Thinking about Buck getting up and putting his hands on either side of Eddie’s face and makes him look at him and Eddie holds onto bucks wrists as Buck says “I’m right here.” And it’s like all the tension is Eddie’s shoulders melts and the 2 of them launch into each other and hug like it’s the last time they’ll ever see one another. Eddie’s fists are balling up the back of bucks hoodie, Buck is near about lifting Eddie off of the ground until Buck repeats “I’m right here” a few more times and then it starts to devolve and he starts to shake and the dynamic shifts from Buck holding Eddie up to Eddie holding Buck up until they both collapse from everything yet to be spoken. Thinking about them sitting next to each other on the floor between the island and the counter legs pressed together, Eddie’s head resting on bucks shoulder, the 2 leaning into one another.

I could go on. But I’m at work so I won’t.

AUGH them. 💛

The reason I don’t have an ounce of buddie doubt right now is because I do not think this show is gonna queerbait us.

We’ve been introduced to queer characters (queer main characters no less) since episode one. This show is very much intending queer people to watch it. They wouldn’t have to make new potential queer characters because they’ll still have a substantial queer audience.

The creators and actors are both super aware of buddie and fans’ thoughts about them. If they don’t want buddie’s relationship to be romantic, they could’ve toned down on the romantic chemistry between Buck and Eddie a long time ago. Yet they keep pushing it. They didn’t have to make Buck canonically bi. But they did. 

Still, they could’ve given him and Tommy a healthy and beautiful relationship that is slowly built up over time, like the other main couples in the show have if they really wanted them to be end game. Yet they continue to give them unhealthy conflict throughout season eight. Much of which is about Eddie. It’s normal for couples to fight, and even temporarily break up, but the reason Buck and Tommy not getting back together being about Eddie?? That has to mean something.

Meanwhile, Buck and Eddie’s relationship has been building up for seasons now. We see them hanging out outside of work, they communicate, they express their care for each other in more ways than one. Eddie (along with Christopher) is shown to be of utmost importance to Buck. They take care of each other when they’re hurt, they care more about the other’s opinion than anyone else’s, and they always make up when they argue. Compare that with the three genuine scenes we get between Buck and Tommy (and even that’s pushing it), and buddie has way more chemistry than they ever will.

Also the fact that not one but two people suggested, straight to Buck’s face, that he might be in love with Eddie?? In the most recent season (when by now everyone knows about buddie’s existence in the fandom)?? I don’t think that was an accident.

So buddie coded

The real reason Eddie bought his GMC Denali truck is so that he could manspread in the backseat as Buck rides him without him having to worry about hitting his head ☺️😏

buck an eddie going on a double date with the people who won their auctions and the entire time buck is just like, yeah well eddie, he has a silver star and he’s sooo cool an handsome and we basically co-parent his son and yeah we’ve been best friends for YEARSSS !!! and eddie is sat there with his cheeks burning red, blushing so hard, all big gooey brown doe eyes at buck because that’s clearly so normal and both of their dates are just sat there like what the actual fuck is wrong with them?

If they didn’t want Eddie Diaz to be gay then why did they write him like that??

The thing is, they’ve written him to be so violently unhappy every time he’s with a woman, that it’ll never be believable if they try to give him a woman as his endgame. Like at this point, they’d just be completely rewriting his character to suggest he’d be happy with a woman.

If we get a true REAL Eddie feelings realization on screen I want it to be the most mundane thing in the whole world. I don’t want it to be this huge intense thing, I want to hit Eddie when he’s finally relaxed, I want it to juxtapose his panic attack with Ana, his rash decision to date Marisol, all the fights with Shanon, I want it to hit him when he’s least expecting it and the most open to it. He can panic about it later, because he should, he’s a man that does not like change and has believed himself to be one way his whole life but I want him to realize that he loves Buck gently. The softest most italicized “oh” you’ve ever seen.

Imagine a day, once things have calmed down, Chris and Eddie are at Buck’s place and Eddie leaves the living room to go to the bathroom and the day has been like any normal day shared between the three of them; they’re watching tv, making light conversation, enjoying each others company.

Eddie walks back in and just watches them, not too dissimilar to season 8 when he brought Chris back near the end of the season but something is different. The windows are slightly open allowing a cool breeze, the soft filtered sunlight shines in their curls and Eddie has the thought that Chris hasn’t smiled with someone like that since Shanon. All at once things start to click into place as Buck gets up and ruffles Chris’s hair asking what he wants for lunch. Scenes from their friendship play in reverse order in Eddie’s mind as things all click into place and he hears himself say “you could have my back any day.” To which Buck replies “yeah, or you could have mine.” And then he hears Shanon begging him to have his back and that’s the final peg fitting into place.

He loves buck.

Not only does he love Buck now but he loved Buck, time and time again, over and over again. The love he’s looked in all the wrong places for he’s actually had this whole time. Right in front of him.

He can’t help but follow Buck into the kitchen, he’ll panic about what all this means later but right now he’s just watching Buck with his eyes finally open. The man he’s loved and loves, and will love, the love he’s been looking for and over looking, someone to have his back.

Ough I’m having thoughts.
