[vianbarnes]

absolutely insane how Tommy makes Buck, an objectively brick shithouse of a man, look normal sized in comparison. Lou Ferrigno Jr the man that you are

[vianbarnes]

the buckley-diaz family 🫶

[vianbarnes]

anyone else have any other thought since thursday? no? cool me neither

#this hit right home

[vianbarnes]

buck went on a date with a man. buck told maddie about going on a date with a man. buck told eddie about going on a date with a man. buddie hug happened. buck held a man’s hand in public. buck apologized for the way he acted but also knows he can take his time with his journey because it’s his journey. this happened. i am not making this up. i never lose. holy shit

[vianbarnes]

they kept ryan guzman in pr jail all these years but it's lou ferrigno jr they should have locked up because MY MAN just outed eddie. i am HOLLERING

[vianbarnes]

oliver has been in basically every interview for ages practically saying nothing, and here is ryan 'we read your fic' guzman and lou 'i was supposed to kiss eddie' ferrigno jr

[vianbarnes]

the sparkle in buck’s eyes, the way he starts to lean back in like he’s gonna kiss tommy again, the way he can’t stop smiling, the blush on his cheeks, he’s so happy. a lifetime of trying to understand himself, of figuring it all out, of never getting it right, always being just shy of fully knowing himself i’m going to cry evan buckley you mean the world to me

[vianbarnes]

god i will never be over his face here

I want to hear Buck say “My boyfriend’s a pilot” so bad. Just picture it. He’s on a call and he rambles about winds for two minutes and the victim asks “how do you know all that?” and he stops and goes “my…uhm…my boyfriend’s a pilot” and then he does that thing where he ducks his head and smiles to himself because he can’t believe he just said that.

back in season one, bobby had to teach buck the importance of putting in effort to foster healthy romantic relationships. he needed that advice then, but buck truly overcorrected and we’ve watched him time and time again be in romantic relationships where he is putting in all of the effort. he’s always fighting to keep his relationships alive, never worrying about the other party putting in effort for him. the reason why this relationship with tommy feels so different (aside from the obvious) is that for the first time, buck is being pursued. he’s going to learn what it feels like to be treated like he is wanted, to know that the person he is dating isn’t just letting him date them. this will be an entirely new kind of relationship for buck in every sense and i’m so excited to see how it plays out

[vianbarnes]

no okay i do kinda fucking love that tommy clearly clocked that unhinged situationship and was like .....you know what, i'm gonna go for it anyway, he's cute, yolo

[vianbarnes]

there's something so painful about the idea that eddie has been well aware of his feelings for buck this entire time but has kept them safely hidden away for a myriad of reasons one of which is that eddie was so sure that buck wasn't someone he could actually have and then suddenly buck's having dinner with tommy and it looks so much like a date and then buck's teary eyed in the kitchen of his loft telling eddie that he's bisexual and what else can eddie do but place a gentle hand on his shoulder and offer buck his unwavering support and tell him that he loves him no matter what and then slip out of the apartment feeling like he's lost something he wasn't brave enough to ever reach for

#enough i’m gonna kms STOP

[vianbarnes]

people saying eddie isn’t gay and doesn’t have the subtext the way buck did is crazy like for sure no the man is internalized homophobia repression catholic guilt personified who had actual literal panic attacks at the thought of marrying a woman whose boy best friend raises his kid with him and means more to him than any girlfriend he’s ever had but no definitely that man is a heterosexual. just straight swan diving in pussy every chance he gets. be serious.
