[zymogenn]

okay what if next ep, mid Eddie's date, marisol calls buck that like her house is on fire (or some emergency) and Eddie's not picking his phone. and she needs urgent help. Buck is confused cos Eddie is on date w marisol. "Isn't Eddie with you?" Marisol goes "no why would he, he said he wanted to spend time with Chris today." Things connect for buck and he is furious and puts down the phone. (Sends help to Marisol) and tries to call Eddie who picks up cos he probably has his number on emergency contacts or sm. "Hey Buck, is everything alright? Chris fine?" Buck goes angrily "Why did you lie to me?"

buck’s loft burns down while chris and him are home and eddie is on a shift, they get out everythings fine but eddie gets called to the scene to put out the fire before buck can contact him so when they’re on the way he’s freaking out bc oh god he knows that address and bobby has to be like ‘bro you gotta calm down i can’t have you running in there no protection trying to pull them out with your bare hands if that’s the situation we’re pulling up on’. so when they get on the scene eddie’s like close to tears just THINKING about them being in there and then someone calls his name behind him and its buck and christopher safe and sound across the street. and buck’s all chill starting to explain what happened and how crazy it was and eddie just runs across the street to them and tackles buck and chris in a hug all like ‘jesus christ i thought i lost you both’. i’d like to see it

Buck's LI being a carbon copy of Eddie and already being presented as being slightly at odds with him. Eddie's gf being insignificant enough that she doesn't even have a last name. Eddie cheating on said gf with his dead wife's clone (which will probably lead to a break up with both women). A potential disagreement between Buck and Eddie about the cheating before they work it out. Ooooh I can see the Buddie set up down the line 👀👀👀

Maybe this will not be taken well, but I'm going to say it anyway: it bothers my that I keep reading Buddie metas (not always, not everybody, its stupid that I feel I have to say this) about Buck and Eddie both needing to grow and 'be better versions of themselves' in order for their relationship to work.

Really?

Is that the message we want the show to get across?

Is that what people really believe?

That in general you have to be some perfect version of yourself to have a successful relationship? To have long term love?

Cause that's bordering on a message that says you have to be a certain way to "deserve" love. Or that people with baggage can't do the work in the relationship if they are also still working on themselves.

And maybe its because I'm older, or maybe its because of my own experiences in life, but that is absolute bullshit.

I want to see Buddie together and I'm totally fine if they aren't perfect people when they are. I want them to support each other in becoming better. I want them to love each other with all the baggage and the flaws. Because I think they already do! They love each other, flaws and all, they're just friends/partners/platonic soul mates?? now, not romantically involved.

I don't want there to be some arbitrary 'finish line' they have to reach first before they kiss.

I want the mess. I want them to sometimes say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing and love each other anyway!

Because that's what love and relationships look like in real life!

Like Mitchell said, you don't find it, you make it.

Relationships take work not just because relationships themselves are hard, but because the people in them are always changing and growing and getting hurt and healing and sometimes not healing very well.

I don't want Buddie to be rushed. In fact, I would be sad, but fine if Buddie never becomes canon, because I don't need it to be canon to believe in the love between Buck and Eddie.

But, if Buddie does happen, I don't want it to be presented as something that couldn't have happened if Buck and Eddie hadn't worked through every one of their own personal issues.

Clearly, there are some issues (for example Eddie's repression of his sexuality) that have to be addressed, but some of the others...

Buck and Eddie can still be a successful couple while Buck is working through his feelings of abandonment and emotional regulation. Buck and Eddie can still be happily in love as Eddie works through his difficulties opening up to others and his tendency to take on other people's problems and issues and expectations as his own.

Let them be messy. And love each other through the mess.

A buddie bachelor party moment 🥴🥂🥴

Throwing it out into the void for now- be back to tag later for FIF

It had been brief, almost too light to feel but it happened. It definitely happened. A bump of soft skin against soft skin breaking a barrier that hadn’t mattered until now.

The fingers now brushing those same lips are rough and calloused but not the ones he’s becoming used to.

Buck can’t help the way his lips part or the way his eyes drift to Eddie’s own mouth. His gaze goes unnoticed because Eddie’s own hazy eyes are intent on following the path of his fingers.

It breaks something inside him to say the words.

“Eddie I’m with Tommy.”

The fingers move away at once and the soft sound that leaves his best friend’s mouth is undefinable.

The words are clear even if they are a little slurred.

“I know, just never thought I could, before.”

Eddie laughs but he’s not amused.

“Still can’t huh!”

Then he stumbles away and Buck lets himself slump to the floor. He hears a thump that judging by the feet he can see sticking out of the bath tub is Eddie choosing where to spend the night.

The floor is surprisingly comfortable and he’s far too drunk to deal with any of this and so is Eddie. They’ll talk in the morning. It’ll be alright in the morning.

Dawn breaks and the sun is well into the sky before anyone has the motivation to open their eyes and by then neither of them remembers anything of the night before, including what the hell happened to the groom.

I've never been more convinced then I ever have of Buddie canon and I think we're about to get Buddie canon confirmed in the bachelor party/wedding episode.

I think these 2 episodes, 4 and 5. One told through Buck's the other told through Eddie's are clearly telling a story of two separate queer journeys. One of acceptance(Buck) and the other of repression(Eddie).

I think this episode is going to end with Eddie doubling down on his relationship with Marisol because Buck being bisexual is going to draw feelings inside of Eddie that he is absolutely terrified to explore and he thinks that being with a woman is just going to make those feelings that are getting stronger and stronger for Buck go away, they won't.

Then in episode 6 which is the Bachelor Party/Wedding episode, as Ryan said Eddie is going to let go, have fun and see where it takes him. When Ryan said that I have never been more convinced that something is happening between Buck and Eddie after the bachelor party and it's going to be something very non platonic that will be the reveal that Buddie is canon.

I'm very much inclined to agree with you, especially about episode 4 being Buck's journey of accepting his queerness, and episode 5 being about Eddie's journey of repression. Buck and Eddie have always been narrative parallels on equal and opposite journeys, both heading for the same place but going about it through very different personal arcs.

Like I've said before, I think things are going to get worse for Eddie before they get better. And I think you're so right that episode 5 is going to be things "getting worse" because he's going to double down on Marisol. The more I've been hearing and sussing out with people, it seems like Marisol's sticking around past episode 5 (which sucks, I know! We were all hoping!) but I can see why that choice is being made because unfortunately if we want to explore Eddie's comp-het, then we need a woman around for him to be comp-het with! I think that's likely why they also switched up on Marisol's personal style this season and had her go from tomboyish in s6 to very femme in s7. They needed to represent her being a little bit more of the "perfect woman" for Eddie again a la Ana Flores. Especially in contrast with Buck and Tommy who are very masc-presenting men.

Most of the time when people talk about compulsory heterosexuality in an academic space they are always talking about women because comphet is inherently a byproduct of patriarchy and misogyny. But, as most of us are aware by now, patriarchy has deep-rooted harmful effects on men too. I can't claim to be anywhere near an expert but I would love to see it explored deeper with Eddie given that a lot of his story has also revolved around him deconstructing other aspects of toxic masculinity and hypermasculinity.

Like does Eddie really enjoy going out with Marisol? Or does he like the freeing feeling of being able to cuddle up with a woman in public and know that no one is judging?

There's a lot of academic theory that goes into compulsory heterosexuality but if you look at the "Am I a Lesbian? Masterdoc" and apply everything there to Eddie, it's almost point for point him.

Some examples:

[brackets] are me turning "men" to "women" from the original text for clarity

Deciding which [women] to be attracted to – not to date, but to be attracted to –based on how well they match a mental list of attractive qualities.

I like the idea of being with a [woman], but any time a [woman] makes a move on me I get incredibly uncomfortable.

I do not like the reality of being with [women], only the idea of being with [women].

I like the idea of marrying a [woman]/being in a relationship with a [woman], but I can always pick out a reason to not want to date any [woman] that is interested in me or any [woman] suggested to me

You view relationships with [women] as a chore, burden, or just something you must deal with.

Picking a [girl] at random to be attracted to

Choosing to be attracted to a [girl] at all, not just choosing to act on it but flipping your attraction on like a switch

the [girls] I like are always hyper [feminine] [girl's girls] who embody everything about [womanliness].

Only/mostly being attracted to unattainable, disinterested, or fictional [women] or [girls] you never or rarely interact with.

Reading your anxiety/discomfort/nervousness/combativeness around [women] as attraction to them. Confusing your anxiety around [women] for “butterflies” or being flustered.

Dreading what feels like an inevitable domestic future with a [woman]

You have every reason to be happy in your relationship with a [woman], but you just aren’t / everything is going really well, but something is missing and you can’t figure out what

Thinking you’re commitmentphobic because no relationship, no matter how great the [girl], feels quite right and you drag your feet when it comes time to escalate it

Going along with escalation because it seems like the ‘appropriate time’ or bc the [girl] wants it so bad, even if you personally aren’t quite ready to say I love you or have labels or move in together etc.

Or jumping ahead and trying to rush to the ‘comfortably settled’ part of relationships with [girls], trying to make a relationship a done deal without investing time into emotional closeness

Your relationships with [women] are devoid of passion.

Feeling like you have to have relationships with [women] and/or let them get serious in order to prove something, maybe something nebulous you can’t identify

Getting a [girl]friend mostly so other people know you have a [girl]friend and not really being interested in [her] romantically/sexually

Wishing your [girl]friend was more like your [male] friends

Worrying that you’re broken inside and unable to really love anyone

Having had people think you were gay when you had no suspicion you were gay

That got longer than I intended but I wanted it here anyway because it just proves (at least to me) that this is the story they're doing with Eddie. The only ones I didn't include were the parts about sex because other than Shannon we actually haven't seen how Eddie reacts in sexual moments with women.

As for the bachelor party/wedding, I do think a lot is going to happen there, and likely a lot of Buddie clues, big and small, but I still don't think anything physically intimate (kiss, hookup, etc) is going to happen. The only exception might be hand-holding, a hug or like a slow dance. Those I could see being plausible.

i’m actually so serious that the stills that were released today for next weeks episode have me thinking so many thoughts that I have been unable to complete my work today.

next episode is named after a love song. the only stills that they released a week ahead of the episode are of buck and eddie in soft, romantic lighting in box apartment. ON TOP OF allllllll the interviews that ryan is doing and basically saying everything except the words “buddie canon”

optimistically, im hoping that this means they’re listening to the audiences and using this opportunity as a way to turn buddie romantic. pessimistically, at worst ABC knows exactly what they are doing and they are using their queer audiences to promote the show because they know what kind of fandom is attached to 911

possibly ignorantly, im leaning towards optimism here, because ABC is usually pretty good about listening to audiences. that doesn’t mean that buddie will have a problem-free relationship by any means (if it goes canon) but they at least try to harness the chemistry that actors have and use it as a tool for romantic storytelling.

i’m cautiously excited, fingers crossed im not wrong

My personal speculation for the missing shirt mystery:

Tommy is invited to the wedding.

Eddie and Tommy go for a walk.

Eddie comes back without his shirt, for some reason.

Buck, champagne drunk, notices and kicks his ass. So they both end up with dirty suits.

Edit: Sorry, *wine drunk!

Goes better with the red stain on Buckaroo's crotch... 😌

But what if Eddie realizes he's in love with Buck when he finally remembers everything about the day he was shot? We've seen him say he remembers things but what if he didn't remember everything? What if he doesn't remember his blood smeared all over Buck, on his face, on his hands, on his tongue? What if he doesn't remember trying to call out to Buck but only managing to mouth his name soundlessly? What if he doesn't remember the way he reached out to Buck while bleeding his life out onto the asphalt? What if he doesn't remember thinking Oh, it's him, it's always been him. I should've told him and now it's too late.

What if he finally remembers it all and he sees Buck laughing with the team, shining bright like he's Eddie's personal sun and Eddie is drawn to him like he's Icarus and thinks oh fuck. He had realized he was in love with Buck and forgotten.

And now he remembers. And now...oh.

(and he thinks, like Icarus, is he doomed to fall short and burn his wings before he reaches his sun?)

Ryan was released from PR jail and immediately decided to confirm every single intrusive thought the Buddie fandom has ever had. 😂😂

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he's the author of some Buddie fanfics out there cause from the get go he was like:

Who loves Oliver the most?! ME!

Who loves Buddie the most?? ME!!

Who loves Buck the most??! EDDIE!!!

Oliver is there (ever the perfect PR student) talking bout 'beautiful friendship' then Ryan (the PR school dropout) comes blowing through with 'most important relationship' 'this goes beyond friendship. I love you to the core!' 🤡🤡🤡

Like.... chile👀👀 if y'all don't stop playing dumb, and start playing house!😒

This might sound crazy, but wouldn't it be something if Chris ended up being a catalyst for Buck and Eddie to have their respective realizations about themselves and just, everything?

Like Eddie's still dating Marisol unfortunately, Buck's still dating Natalia why god why, and Chris kinda begins to distance himself from both of them and it's making his parents concerned as all hell, especially Eddie. And it isn't until Chris ends up in the middle of a Eddie/Marisol and Buck/Natalia double date and storms off that Eddie and Buck can't take it anymore and go ask Chris what's been going on. And Chris just goes off on both of them:

"Before, it always used to be just the three of us! But now, we're barely together anymore and if it's not because of work, it's because of them! Why can't it just be us?"

And it isn't until everything has calmed down, the girls are gone, and Buck and Eddie are in their respective rooms ready to crash that they just stop and think:

"Why can't it just be us?"

And that's when Buck FINALLY recognizes the hamster wheel he's been on and puts a full stop to it by dumping Natalia and Eddie realizes that he's just not into Marisol and breaks things off.

After that, they spend the rest of the season just focusing on themselves, upgrading the Buckley-Diaz family and going through their respective bi/queer awakenings before the end of the season, where either Buck is the one pining or there's mutual pining from both Buck and Eddie.
