#anyway. EDDIE LOVES BUCK TO HIS CORE AND WE SAW IT IN EVERY MINUTE OF THEIR SCREENTIME THIS EPISODE <3
Text
the sheer amount of reassurance that eddie offered buck this ep had me reeling. like. every single offhanded self-deprecating comment that buck made in this ep, lighthearted and playful as they were, was immediately folllowed by eddie refuting it in the softest, gentlest way. buck announced he broke up with natalia and eddie, who specifically warned him that it wasn't a good idea to date someone they met on a call, who was potentially very hurt by buck claiming that natalia 'sees him,' and who was clearly not in favor of the relationship, said none of it. instead, without even missing a beat, he starts his reply off with to be fair. to be fair to buck, in case buck isn't being fair to himself.
when eddie brings up not wanting chris to go down a path of being reckless with dating, and buck assumes that eddie doesn't want chris to end up like him, eddie shuts that down instantly by reminding him that buck didn't actually end up the way he perceives himself. i love the way eddie so clearly acknowledges buck's idea of who buck once was while giving him that reassurance that he was never just that person. he's not buck 1.0, he's not buck 2.0, he's not buck 3.0, he's just buck, and eddie loves him the way he is.
i just — eddie is always offering buck grace and always so in tune with the way that buck's mind works, giving him the space to make the decisions he needs to, regardless of whether eddie agrees with them, all while still being in his corner and waiting for him to come to his senses in his own time, and eventually come home. to come back to where he belongs, because eddie missed him and never, ever wants to be without him again.

Since I know you're watching 9-1-1 now, I would want to hear your thoughts on that show! (You can also add 9-1-1: Lone star there or do it separately. Your choice. 🙂)
yess thank you i love this game !!!!
9-1-1
The first character I first fell in love with: honestly i was a bit eh whatever about all of them at first
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: but they all really grew on me, the character development is awesome, it’s the rare ensemble show where i’m never bored no matter who takes center focus. but ESPECIALLY Buck like his first few scenes I was like oh great another procedural douchebag whose assholery is glamorized like Tony from NCIS but thank god it’s 2021 things have changed. (I haven’t watched a procedural in a long time lmao). Now he’s honestly one of my favorite characters ever, which i did not see coming. the Buck Begins episode was like, so cathartic, it fucking killed me. i’m still processing.
The character everyone else loves that I don’t: hmm idk i’m pretty on par with the fandom most of the time
The character I love that everyone else hates: not sure either except i don’t like how parts of the fandom vilify female characters
The character I used to love but don’t any longer: can’t think of any
The character I would totally smooch: every time Buck and Taylor were on the screen together last episode i was like stop I’m too bi for this, help. this show is just full of hot people in general it’s great
The character I’d want to be like: honestly Hen has got it going on, she’s warm and competent and funny, she has a beautiful rocket scientist wife and an adorable family, she’s going after a new dream at 40, she has just great chill vibes, so she is absolutely goals for me. (without the cheating bit that sucked)
The character I’d slap: none of the core cast their lives are already dangerous enough. Maybe Hen’s awful ex. Or no, Buck’s parents. Absolutely Buck’s parents. Worst parents ever. Seriously.
A pairing that I love: Maddie and Chimney are super sweet, I love them. I love Athena and Bobby and their family thing with Michael and David, the whole dynamic is just awesome. I love the unconventional families in the show. Also I do ship Buddie, I think they have great chemistry and the slow burn potential would be next level. That said, I’m annoyed at the fandom’s insistance that they have to be in love because Buck helps out a lot with Chris it just feels so ...Weirdly heteronormative to me. Real talk, this happened in my own life, some of my mom’s best friends helped raise me and it was totally platonic, I love the idea that your friends can help with the kids and vice versa, and the idea i’ve seen going around that it’s ‘abnormal’ or whatever is just...so narrow minded and obsessed with the nuclear family as the only valid family unit which is so regressive and the show is absolutely not about. Anyway yeah and if that can’t happen I do think Buck and Taylor have potential if they write them as friends first, I really liked their scenes last episode.
A pairing that I despise: i didn’t like Hen’s cheating story line, honestly. Doug and Maddie were horrible together but like, obviously on purpose. Also not to sound like a disgruntled shipper but Eddie and Ana are super cringe so far. Her first ep was about her not knowing how to deal with Christopher, not a great start and that last episode... WTF was that are we sexualizing somebody being an elementary school teacher teaching math now who even came up with this like ????? i don’t want these
Lone Star :
The first character I first fell in love with: TK, troubled gay sweetheart with attachment issues, what’s not to love
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Tommy and Nancy are awesome and I want to see more of them and more of the paramedic squad. Tommy is such a badass (also Gina Torres <3 <3) and I love Nancy’s sarcastic humor, and their dynamic with TK, it’s so fresh and funny.
The character everyone else loves that I don’t: can’t think of one
The character I love that everyone else hates: same
The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Owen. He was great at the start, we need more fathers that are so openly caring and affectionate, he can be a great supportive captain. But then at some point it became clear he’s written as a vanity character for the actor, a male Mary Sue, he can’t go wrong, he always has to be the hero at the center of every plot line, the show spends so much time on his petty drama about his hair or not being able to get it up while more interesting characters are kept in the background...it’s annoying, super frustrating, and it makes him a lot less interesting. every convo I have with @beeexx about the show sooner or later turns to ‘we want less Owen’ lmao
The character I would totally smooch: again, too many hot characters in this show, impossible to choose
The character I’d want to be like: Marjan, just so badass, secure in her own identity, funny, amazing, roller derby queen, she deserves better plotlines
The character I’d slap: Owen in s2 like what the hell dude. Carlos’ father also came close last ep
A pairing that I love: Tarlos, obviously, great chemistry and everything, would be better if we actually saw what’s happening with them. Grace and Judd are super sweet and I can’t wait to know more about them next ep.
A pairing that I despise: Owen and Gwyn were so annoying and immature, they tried to sell us that they were this great love when they couldn’t spend 5 minutes without arguing and then they decide to have a baby together when they were never able to pay attention to their son properly like what the fuck ???? i don’t want to see them fighting about bowls gtfo. Also the thing with Marjan with her fiancé, a lot of Muslim fans have said that it was a bad cliché so I’ll leave it at that.
