Eddie always shouts Buck's name now because the last time he shouted more than 8 times Buck didn't respond because he was dead so he is always extremely excited to call out to Buck because Buck will respond. Someone needs to sedate me.
I don’t think Eddie wanted to be alone in his house.
Hear me out. Eddie is still recovering from severe mental illness. Sure he’s a lot happier now but he’s not magically fixed.
First he’s spending all this time with Tommy and all of a sudden his best friend is injuring him in a fit of jealousy so Eddie pulls back.
So now Christopher is ‘out of town’ and he’s alone in an empty quiet house.
Too empty. Too quiet. His thoughts are too loud again.
He’d normally ask Buck to come over but he’s still being cautious there. He can’t ask Tommy because he doesn’t want anymore issues with Buck.
So he impulsively asks Marisol to move in. If she’s living there he won’t be alone with his thoughts. Then the whole nun thing becomes a distraction because now all he can think about is his catholic guilt but at least his survivors guilt has been silenced again.
So now he’s back to level headed reasonable Eddie who doesn’t need someone he hardly knows living in his house.
I don't think we've talked enough about Buck and those pick up games and how "Eddie keeps asking me to go." Because Eddie knows Buck doesn't like basketball, and Eddie doesn't push Buck, ever. He is patient and he waits and he doesn't push.
But the rituals, they are intricate.
Eddie just wants to be with Buck, to play with him, to touch and be touched by him. And this silly pick up game is a way for Eddie to get something he can't allow himself to ask for.
also im just fucking cracking up at oliver going "at the beginning of the season I was going to play buck as having a sexual awakening whether the writers were doing it or not" and that translating to buck looking at eddie with the most down horrendous blushy heart eyes possible in every scene cause WHAT would he have done if tim didn't decide to make it canon. at some point he would've been in a scene with eddie and marisol and you would just see buck in the background gagging. he would give that boy Hanahaki disease in the name of character development.
Eddie coming to terms with his sexuality and then coming out to Buck in the most fucked up and romantic way possible - by telling him "I reached for you. I was lying in the street thinking this was it, that I was dying and all I wanted was to touch you one more time".
Watching the 9-1-1 fandom give Oliver Stark his accolades and flowers has been a wonderful thing to see. Equally wonderful to watch is Oliver graciously receiving that love and redirecting it by validating the thoughts/feelings/emotions of longtime fans of the show. "You were right" is a very powerful statement, and I hope he genuinely realizes the impact that has had on the fandom, especially those who had certain opinions of his character and how they felt he should be portrayed. I'm glad the show took this hiatus and just let Oliver, Lou, and the rest of the cast and crew marinate in this. The show has gained so many new fans and returning fans in the wake of Bi-Buck.
THAT BEING SAID...
These "revelations" that have been coming out after THE Revelation are just...I can't even
What do you mean Ryan and Oliver have been secretly pitching Buddie canon to the powers that be behind the scenes for years? What do you mean Tommy was initially supposed to kiss Eddie? What do you mean Eddie getting shot years ago was supposed to be the beginning of a romantic Buddie arc? What do you mean Buck's coma dream after getting electrocuted was a the setup for a Buddie moment? What do you mean 7x04 was from Buck's POV? WHAT DO YOU MEAN RYAN AND OLIVER WATCH THE BUDDIE FAN EDITS AND READ THE FANFICTION?!?!??!?!?!!?
Watching these two fuzzballs is genuinely going to flatline me.
SN: I'm stuck on the fact that before the S7 premiere, Ryan had the audacity to say "Buck and Eddie get closer than ever this season" with the biggest shit-eating grin on his face. And I'm happy/scared/excited/curious to see what the back half of the season holds. On to 9-1-1's The Hangover!!!
the best thing about buddie is that they don’t know. still. neither of them knows why they are the way they are. neither of them have ever really had strong male friendships before. certainly not in adulthood. so they don’t know that theirs isn’t quote unquote normal. eddie doesn’t know why “she sees me” felt like a punch or why “i kind of can’t stop thinking about him” felt like being dunked in cold water. buck doesn’t know that you can be jealous of two contradicting things at once or why “this doesn’t change a thing between us” didn’t offer as much relief as he’d been expecting it to. because of course he knew what eddie was going to say. he knows eddie. they’re both idiots. they’re both so blind to what they’ve been building. but they are so so close to figuring it out.
