can i be a bit of a cunt for a second? very funny how people argued that eddie going to texas is good for bddie, actually, because the distance will make them realize their feelings, only for buck to make peace with eddie leaving in 8x11 and straight up say 'don't come back' in 8x12. lol and lmao
not the desired effect, innit? 💀
("maddie will suggest that buck is attracted to eddie and that'll trigger his Feelings Realization!" -> canon buck when the suggestion is floated his way: you and tommy are straight up tripping i don't like eddie like that at all *stares at the camera* what's not clicking?
"being 1200 miles apart will force eddie and buck to confront their buried love for each other! buck subletting means they'll eventually share a roof. bvddie roommate era incoming!" -> canon buck when a despairing eddie says he'll move back to LA: absolutely not you dramaqueen you can't crash on my couch. stay with your son and fix your messes.
"buck will be depressed all season without eddie around. he won't recover from the move and eddie will haunt every corner of the house!" -> canon buck: *unable to sleep in his new place for half an episode until he fucks tommy which acts as a catalyst to make the house his home. he cheerfully unpacks and decorates, accepting that eddie and chris are gone for good*)
if anything the distance is teaching buck to be less codependent which bodes well for a healthier, more balanced friendship so... we cheer 🥂
