hmmm okay new 911 theory popped into my mind at 3AM. woo! spoilers for 7x04 if you haven’t seen it yet below the cut!

alright I love buddie but I don’t think it’s going to be canon this season. I think abc knew it would generate enough to renew for an 8th season (which it did! yay!) and obviously now that we have BI BUCK RAAAAHHH there’s going to be some episodes focusing on that. and there’s only 10 episodes this season, we’re 4 episodes in now and the bi buck realization was at the very end of episode 4. madney wedding is happening at some point so they won’t focus that much on buck’s sexuality, but I can see it being a character moment still! so now I’ll get into the actual theory other than the buddie won’t be canon this season.

we know that Tommy and Buck aren’t going to be a thing for long and neither will Marisol and Eddie. so they’re going to be all “hmmm want partner :(“ and now buck’s going to realize he has more options of course and that the jealousy he felt with the eddie&tommy friendship was jealousy about Eddie hanging out with someone else, I feel like that will also be what ends up splitting Buck and Tommy. so he’s going to realize he’s interested in Eddie since Tommy has a lot of similarities with him and realize maybe he has a thing for Eddie. and he’s going to realize it more at the wedding when he sees other couples dancing I’m sure and he’s going to be off to the side talking with Eddie and realize all this mentally. and I think they’ll share one of their “looks” between each other. (one of THOSE looks. you know the one). and since they’re talking about relationships, after the look Eddie will realize something too and that he might be into men as well and take more looks at buck while he’s not looking lol. (I can picture it in my mind. either the clownery is real with me or I’m getting prophetic but 911 likes to pull little scenes like these lol with the characters just looking at each other lol). and I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere from there, just confirmation that eddie’s thinking about the possibility of being a with another dude and leave a sorta set up for his gay/bi/pan/likes men awakening next season, leaving it open for us to imagine if it weren’t to be renewed but something to set up a bigger plot thing. and then I think we’ll get the Eddie likes men plot beginning of s8 after the big emergency… and then they dance around feelings for each other for a minute (an episode or two) thinking “no way they would want to date me! 🥺” and then they probably get some sense talked into them by one of the other characters separately (I could see hen or Maddie trying to talk sense into Buck about this lol) and then boom scene of one of them approaching the other and awkwardly asking them to go out or something and the other being all “oh yeah, uh I’d love that yeah sounds good!” and then boom buddie go on date (date first gets postponed by big emergency maybe lol) and boom buddie canon and boom operation buddie success to finish off season 8.

abc if you’re reading this maybe take some notes?? lol

thank you btw abc for making bi buck canon. it no longer needs to be a headcanon. The truth is out. (wee)wooooooo!!!

EVERYONE PAUSE THE SHOULDER GRAB IS IN EPISOD FIVE

Eddie and Buck are clearly in a different party so... what if they walked by a pride party of some kind and drunk Buck yelled "Hey, I'm one of you" and got invited to join and Eddie followed saying "And I'm an ally!"

I WOULD DIE LAUGHING

my buddy, killer croc

[ID: a TV screen playing the Gotham City News. The lower third reads: ‘Wayne Womanizer’ and above it is footage of Bruce Wayne in a suit. He's beaming with a smile and has a soft blush as he's being carried bridal style by what looks like an actual bride. The woman has red hair and is wearing a white dress as she smiles at the camera. Bruce has his eyes closed and one of his arms is outstretched to be over his head in his excited celebration! END ID]

love how the “if buddie turns canon” has now turned into “when buddie becomes canon”

AND WHEN BUCK FINALLY COMES TO TERMS WITH DEATH AND FATHERHOOD AND ACHIEVING HAPPINESS AND HIS COUCH AND WHO KNOWS HIM BEST AND IT ALL POINTS TO EDDIE DIAZ??!

You’ve heard of Eddie Begins now get ready for Eddie’s Pining Begins

Me with abc for treating 911 the way it deserves

Say it with me:

Buck is his own person who deserves to have and has storylines dedicated to who he is, no one else!

Good job! 🤗

WHEN I TELL YOU I JUST FUCKING SCREAMED AT MY TV… IM GOING INSANE I LOOKED LIKE THAT ONE MEME AND MY ROOMMATES BARELY KNOW WHATS GOING ON THEY JUST WANTED TO SEE THE BACHELOR EPISODE (we all watched joey’s season together) AND WE ALL WENT AAAAAAAAAAAAA

tup was a shiny on umbara

Buddie + ao3 tags || 3x02-3x03

Remember that time we all knew Buck was gonna be struck by lightning and then a few hours later we saw that Eddie was gonna run up the ladder shouting his name and then later we heard Bobby call him kid and then we watched Chimney sit on him and start compressions and then someone broke down the audio so we heard everyone super distraught and then we were just expected to be so normal and functioning humans in society?

LISTEN. If we get a bisexual!Buck arc, I will ACTUALLY LITERALLY CRY, I’m already emotional just thinking about it, it will literally bring me so much joy

BUT

I don’t want it at the expense of an Eddie coming out arc…

Bc listen, I read a post talking abt how the writers probably won’t give both of them a really flushed out Queer Realization Arc bc it would be redundant, which like, okay sure, yes, I can see why you wouldn’t want to have two main, male characters going through the exact same thing, so sure, whatever, BUT -

I feel like, out of Buddie, Eddie is going to be the one that really struggles with coming to terms with his sexuality.

Eddie, who had to be The Man Of The House at 10 years old. Eddie, who grew up in the Deep South. Eddie, whose family is Catholic. Eddie, who already had a strained relationship with his judgmental parents. Eddie, who had a WIFE. Eddie, who says that what he had with Shannon was magic & compares every relationship he had to her. Eddie, who was in the military, which is infamous for DADT. Eddie, whose aunt constantly pushes him at random women because he needs to not be alone. Eddie, who canonically suffers from comp-het, saying that dating women feels like putting on a performance, not that he understands why. Eddie, who dated Ana & was planning on staying with her, even though he was unhappy, for his son.

I think Buck would be way chiller with realizing he’s queer - if he doesn’t already know, which is my fav head-cannon - & I feel like he wouldn’t struggle as much bc it’s Eddie, & Eddie is his best friend, and gender wouldn’t play as big a part for him as I think it would for Eddie.

I would love for them both to have an arc where they worked through their expectations when it comes to relationships & realize that they’re queer, but idk man, I feel like Eddie is going to be the one to really struggle & he deserves to really have that flushed out.

Idk, I’ve been thinking about this ever since I saw that post & nobody I know watches 9-1-1 😭

started reading dungeon meshi like “omg lets go lesbians I need more lesbian media I love when women”
