Weirdkidshere - Weird Kid's Here

Yeah same, this is exactly why i think they might make us wait until next season to actually get them together: there’s just (possibly) too much buildup to do in just half a season. But hey, if we get canon buddie im really not that picky about when :)

ok so not really criticism but a bit of concern: how will the show make it obvious to the audience that Eddie has feelings, is queer and this has been going on for a bit? Or how will they show it believably that he just realized all of that in his 30s?

Like to me it is so obvious, and they have been setting it up for at least half a season now. There are hints in the show (him being ultra monogamous & catholic about relationships and not having true chemistry/romantic feelings for most of his female partners, they're more of an obligation) and it makes so much sense to me that he's a repressed gay man, and the acting supports that. But it's harder to see/believe if you contrast that with Buck's realization who has been making googly eyes at everything and everyone, and is an open book, wears his heart on his sleeve. A casual audience will be able to go back and see it. They won't immediately see it when they look at Eddie, because the acting is way subtler and the queercoding more subtextual as of now, the queerness is in the narrative and possible feelings are explicitly labelled as a deep platonic bond between friends.

Which, in and of itself, no problem! There have been wilder revelations in film and tv with no textual buildup that have been very believable. It all hinges on how the show explains and shows it to the audience. I just don't know if I can trust this show to do a storyline like this justice? Like having someone have a multi-layered revelation and solve some of their emotional struggles within the span of a few episodes. Am I making sense? I love the characters and how they've been portrayed, but I might have grown overprotective of them. I just don't see yet how the show will do it in a believable way. It's one of the reasons I hope they let us steam a bit longer and go for it in the next season

Ok I need everyone to understand that Buck and Eddie are both products of their upbringing. Buck was a child of neglect, which led to him having abandonment issues. While Eddie was a child forced to grow up too fast, which led to him having hyper-independence. Two different kind of traumas. Two different kinds of trauma response. Which would require two different kinds of help.

Buck and Eddie help each other overcome these things and because they are two different kinds of problems, the way they help will ALSO be different. Ever since they met, Eddie has always been there for Buck (don't even fight me on this) and Buck has always given Eddie what he needs. It will look imbalanced, but it's really not. They both need SOMEONE in their lives, just in different ways.

Buck doesn't need someone to take over his lease, or to take care of his son, or to help him figure out childcare, he needs someone to Not Leave Him Alone. Eddie doesn't need someone to tell him he's not expendable, or to be reassured he's trustworthy, or to be promised he's not going to be abandoned, he needs someone to Give Him a Helping Hand. And the moment they became friends they have been those SOMEONES to each other.

They are each other's persons. Equally.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait… Captain Vega, paramedic?? What hapoened to Michelle?😮 (lowkey not mad tho) (she seems cool and interesting) (and i didn’t like Michelle too much) (sorry Michelle)

911 loves to tell me buddie won't be canon but they love to show me it will be gotta love a girl that keeps you guessing

Another excellent luke x lorelai scene I want to see with buddie is them being disgustingly in love and bickering in the kitchen and rory listening to it all on the phone and just saying "go back to your dirtiness bye" 💓 gimme all the domestic fluff! (we could start with roommate fluff actually)

Yesss

Like all their lil flirty scenes are just so good and could so work for buddie and I need every fic like it

Ooo or Luke pulling loralie aside to flirt with her while she’s joking abt how he won’t flirt with her in front of Rory and it’s making her look uncool etc like that’s soooo Eddie at work or in front of the firefam and co with buck being the loralie in this situation

(unrelated side note the funniest scenario is Eddie acting unhinged the minute they get together and going from 0 to let’s fuck at the station)

Also with Eddie in fact being in Texas I think I mentioned it before but do you remember after Luke and loralie made up and they’re going on their first date back together and she finds a Jamaican music cd and she’s like it’s so weird to think there was this whole period we were apart yada yada then she jokes “clearly you were lost without me…right?” In this like reassurance seeking way and Luke immediately clocks it and reassures her? THIS TYPE OF SCENE?? Scrumptious like idc if technically these guys haven’t been without eachother in any way but physical proximity theyre THAT dramatic

“You’re not God” no but he is Jesus. See him rise next episode im so serious

EDDIE & BOBBY → 5.18 'Starting Over'

surely im not the only one.

Buck: Do we know exactly how Bobby survived?

Chim: Yeah because we were infected at the same time, and he was fine for most of it?

Hen: His golden blood kept him safe. And even though it was a super strain, changing the way the disease spreads diminished its lethality.

Ravi: So it wasn't airborne after all?

Eddie: I was wondering about that. The regular CCHF spreads through insect bites or contact with fluids of another infected human.

Hen: Yeah, the super strain tried to change that and made it more unstable in the process.

Buck: Hence Cap's zombie routine.

Chim: Well, thank God for Cap's resurrection powers.

Eddie: I guess Cap has his Halloween costume locked in now.

God i heard about that. I have not yet had the pleasure of watching that episode but I already know it’s gonna hurt my ace little soul…😬

I always forget about the House asexuality episode... they went through the intersex episode, realized how bad they fucked the intersex episode, went back and did another intersex episode, and then decided House needed to disprove asexuality. In 2012.

The woman wasnt even House's patient!
