some angles of this one are great, and then others 🫤 not sure if it actually needs fixing or if I just spent too long staring at it today. 5-6 hours is maybe too much
rewatching 911 and there is something so humorous about Eddie turning up to bucks apartment with chris after the tsunami and being like hehehe so funny he can’t run fast, and can’t do lego! take him to the zoo or something life’s great while buck looks like shit and is about to have a breakdown gotta rate eddie for being enthused and chipper like once in his life
Me watching the scene explaining how Buck got his nickname from Bucky for the first time: *goes over my head because so much gay shit is happening*
Rewatching the scene again: "Buck this, Buck that. Buck, can you help me tie my shoes? Buck, help me fly this plane." 👀👀
Thinking about it randomly: Hehe, "Buck, can you help me tie my shoes?" That's cute.
Thinking about it for the hundredth time, my mind getting no rest imagining how that went: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BUCK CAN YOU HELP ME TIE MY SHOES, YOU SLUT, YOU WHORE. DO YOU ASK FOR HIS HAND TO CROSS THE STREET TOO??? *sobs* Is Buck just saying this shit as an example? But why would he say that? LEAVE ME ALONE.
Do you think Bucky ever asked Buck to help him tie his shoes? Do you think Buck helped him? 😭 I don't know why I fixated on this. I'm in agony and I wanted to share ❤️
NAH BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK. i can't even count how many times i've rewatched this scene, whether from rewatching the show itself or from making edits or checking dialogue for fics, and yet??
somehow my brain never latched onto that moment either until reading this ask, for the same reason you said LOL. i'm literally tweaking oh my god. i want to believe so badly that john's actually asked him to tie his shoes lmfaooo like gale does say it like he's just rattling things off as a joke, but knowing their dynamic, i wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.
a more likely scenario that popped into my head though is john being too drunk to untie his shoes when they get back to their room one night during flight school, and having to humble the fuck out of himself by slumping over on the floor against the wall and being like "...buck, can't get my shoes off." and gale asking "is that a statement or a cry for help?" and john giving him the ol' puppy dog eyes and grumbling out "can you help me untie my shoes, please?"
"the introduction of his character is literally buck turning in slow motion and 'Whatta Man' is the soundtrack. If we look back at that moment, yes! there’s definitely an element of that"
"..not knowing and process those feelings,, he kind of sectioned off in to some kind of jealousy and insecurity about himself.."
and then the undercover exchange of vows, not even in season 10.
i’m sure if they really wanted Buck and Eddie to just be besties they would’ve made their partners friends at some point. like we know some of them met (Taylor and Ana were both at Eddie’s welcome home party) but that was always it. no double dates, no big weekends out, no afterwork drinks with the girlfriends.
you’re telling me Buck and Eddie spend so much time together but never any with their parters?? and that’s just it? yea i don’t think so.
