I could be remembering wrong but I think it’s so telling that they’ve never referred to Buck as Chris’ “Uncle Buck”. Like it’s perfectly common for a close family friend to be called “uncle” or “aunt” in context of a kid because the parents consider that person family.
And it’s also evident and canon that Eddie and Chris consider Buck family (“there’s no one in the world I trust with my son more than you”, “if I die, you become Christopher’s legal guardian”, “he’s hanging out with his Buck today!”, “he was looking for Buck”, Chris calling Buck when worried about Eddie, Chris running away to Buck’s when upset with Eddie, Buck promising Chris he’ll always have him no matter what, Buck taking Chris on adventures an trips all the time, “Buck, can I spend Christmas with you?”, “Buck, can we go to your house and play video games?”, etc. etc. etc. ETC.).
So it’s crazy, insane, ridiculous, interesting that Chris and Eddie never even once refer to Buck as “Uncle Buck”, when it would work so seamlessly and would help further the narrative they’re desperately trying to push with Buck and Eddie being best friends/brothers.
The fact is, Buck is not an uncle figure to Chris. He’s not even just a friend. He’s a father that would move heaven and earth for his son. And calling it anything else would be a disservice to the relationship they’ve cultivated between Chris and Buck.
But it would be so easy. And the fact that they haven’t done that speaks volumes to me.
Still can’t wrap my head around the fact that this photo is a screengrab from the episode and not an edit 🫠🫠🫠 Like Buck is canonically bi?? I’m not dreaming am I??
Just want to point out… Christopher Diaz’s idea of a date is bringing his date over to have pizza and play video games…because he’s watched his dads do that with each other for years…
BUCK: Uh, I think I got your lunch. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Dad’*
CHRISTOPHER: Oh yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘Be careful. For the love of God, Please be careful.’
A friendly reminder next ep is called you dont know me which is a song about pining after your friend who’s in a relationship and thinks you’re just friends
I love me some eldritch, incomprehensible ghost speak in fics, but in my heart ghost speak sounds like a theremin being played.
Like, it's one of those instruments that can sound so much *like* a human voice, and sound nothing like one all in the same song. It can make kind of chipping noises, it can make some truly horrifying sounds. It can be beautiful, it can be creepy, it's peak ghost speak to me
(Also just love the idea of people playing the theremin at ghosts to join the ghost speak convo being like the meme of when people meow to their cats, but like are saying "taxes" or "ketchup" in response to "hi" lol)
Anyway please juat imagine Danny & the other ghosts sounding like this while they talk/fight:
The fact that Eddie usually doesn't help Chris in walking or anything because he wants him to do it himself and feel more independent but he still assisted his son in giving Buck a hug here..almost like he was handing Buck his own heart
hey genuine question what the fuck was the reason for the christmas elf saying "you two have an adorable son" if not buddie. especially right after talking about shannon. because i think about this every day
