Buck losing his goddamnb MIND when Eddie got shot I need to be hit with a horse tranq

I don't really listen to ts but obvs many ppl on my dash and that I know irl do and the response to this newest release has been WILDLY all over the spectrum what's happening??

I agree—I feel like I’ve seen extremely positive and then pretty negative responses and not really anything in between. The context is that this album has 18 songs and then 15 extra songs as bonus tracks. I found the whole work extremely underwhelming and about three tracks vibed with me out of 33. The music and the lyrics felt uninspired and the songs really bled into each other in a way that I didn’t like. I was just….bored listening to it. I didn’t think there was any cohesion to the album at all, and I don’t really see myself revisiting. But music is obviously so personal and preferences are so subjective—I feel like my taste in music and albums has not gelled with what TS has put out since her last album Midnights, and that’s okay! Obviously just not a fan of a subset of Swifties considering it a capital crime to hate any work of hers.

I’ve never wanted an album to end faster and that just explains everything I felt about TTPD.

Oliver Stark about the negativity concerning Buck's bisexuality

Album sucks and I’m not happy about it for the record I wanted to like it especially because I didn’t like the last one

k but rewatching 2x01 and it's gotta be Buck's pov of ugh, this new guy who's all handsome and perfect or whatever

Be curious about Eddie's pov bc I feel like it would be 70% Panic like omg pls don't mess this up and also 30% Gay Panic like why doesn't the pretty guy like me :(

(fair warning, this may have spiraled past 2x01......a lot. bear with me.)

i don't think we've ever gotten eddie's pov the way we've gotten buck's (2x01 and 7x04 for example) HOWEVER i do think we more or less know who buck is from eddie's pov through his actions.

which, considering their characters, tracks so hard.

buck didn't realize he was queer until a man quite literally kissed him on the mouth. seeing eddie from buck's pov is safe because buck has no idea what his feelings are. we watched buck's complicated feelings of jealousy towards eddie unfold TWICE and neither time did he realize what the feelings actually were (physical attraction and y'know. being in love with the guy). buck's pov is one we're allowed to see through as the audience, because it's not actually gonna tell us much, seeing as buck hasn't realized anything.

eddie, though?

reservoir of catholic guilt eddie? the guy who had panic attacks about the idea of being married to his girlfriend? the same man who was diagnosed repressed by a cardiologist?

he knows. he knows and he's been pushing it down since he and buck met, and if we were to ever see buck through eddie's eyes it'd give away everything. the eddie we've seen through buck's pov is just. pure golden sunshine, laughter, love, and buck's best friend in the whole fucking world. buck's best friend that he's in love with, sure, but buck hasn't put those dots together yet, so we, as the audience, won't see that.

buck, to eddie, is home. is family and warmth and comfort. and, obviously, eddie is the same to buck, but eddie knows this. eddie is fully and completely aware of who buck is to him, he's just shoving it all the way down. eddie gave buck a place to land ("it's eddie's house, i'm not really a guest"), eddie trusts buck wish christopher more than he trusts his parents with christopher (ramon and helena saying to eddie 'don't drag him down with you' and him leaving for LA -> eddie saying to buck 'there's nobody in this world i trust with my son more than you' after the tsunami), eddie let buck in when he was at his absolute lowest.

and, you know.

the will.

we've talked about it a half dozen million times in this fandom but we're gonna talk about it again because it's brain melting. we've never seen buck through eddie's eyes but we've seen exactly who he is to eddie through his actions. eddie trusts buck. eddie needs buck to know he has a reason to stay, that eddie and chris are his reasons to stay. eddie told buck flat out that his life means something. that buck thinks he's not worth anything but he's wrong because he means everything to eddie. eddie loves him.

eddie loved him when he held his hand when buck got pinned under a firetruck and eddie loved him when he dropped chris off before the tsunami and he still loved him when the water went back to the sea and eddie loved him when buck sued the city because the worst part of the whole lawsuit was how much he fucking missed him and eddie loved him when he was trapped under a well and all he could think about was his son and how, if he goes too soon, christopher deserves to be with someone who will love him the way eddie does and eddie loved him when he thought buck was the last thing he was ever gonna see, bleeding out on the streets of los angeles and eddie loved him when he told buck in the only way he knew how to (because, evan) and eddie loved him through panic attacks and mental breakdowns and lightning strikes and new girlfriends and a broken ankle and a new boyfriend because there is no version of eddie diaz that isn't in love with evan buckley.

and eddie knows that.

which is why we don't see it.

Eddie Diaz thought he was soooooo sneaky with that ‘once he gets to know that you’re an idiot, he’ll love you like we all do’ comment. I hear you. I hear you telling your bff that you love him. You thought you were being subtle by including everyone but I know your game. I know what you are

the fact he’s speaking about how he hopes buck and Tommy stay friends probably doesn’t speak well to their romantic relationship lasting but honestly a friendship would be so much more rewarding for both and I’m not just talking about the fact that Tommy can have a front row seat to the buck and Eddie extravaganza but also that he can find himself back with the 118 and the family he wanted. If Buck and Tommy lasts a long time then there’s no way Tommy won’t get hurt by Buck in the end so ending quickly and staying friends would absolutely be the right move so neither gets hurt.

You said it so well! I’d love for Tommy to get his found family and I’d love for Buck to have Tommy in his life longer than their relationship lasts and I’d love for Eddie to start examining some hard truths and bring into light some things he’s known/realized about himself.

You ever just wake up from an incredibly graphic and realistic nightmare that was a pure psychological horror based on your own personal phobias and trauma and just roll over like “aw shit I got too hot last night I guess.” And then make toast like you didn’t just experience the nine circles of hell before 9 am

EVIL television program with the wees and the woos playing LANDSLIDE during a flashback to a mother and daughter’s life together as the mother dies I have information that could lead to the arrest of Ryan Murphy

You’re not concerned about this?

i can be your cringe unfollowable mutual in law

#they're gonna get along like a house on fire

I need to get drinks with him soooooo bad

A few choice words can sometimes be the life raft that gets you home. To be seen... to be found. Isn't that what we're all searching for?

I hope people can chill now because even Oliver is suggesting buck and Tommy is not gonna last and who knows maybe Tommy is the one that makes buck realize he’s in love with Eddie by the end of the season.

I think Oliver really said it best. I don't know what's going to happen with the relationship but I'd really, really love for them to explore it more. Whether or not that happens, I'd give so much to have Tommy stay in Buck's life and around the 118. I'd love Buck to have, as Oliver put it, a kind man to shepherd him through this newer understanding of himself, I'd love Eddie to keep having a friend like Tommy, I'd love Tommy to have what he desires so much—a family and a sense of belonging with a team like the 118. I just think it'll be a beautiful story, but ultimately I hope Lou at least comes back to visit even if he doesn't stay.

"He's obviously going to continue down this path with Tommy for now. I don't know what that story is going to end up being, but I would really like for Tommy to stay a part of Buck's life, regardless. He's obviously opened this door for him, and I think it would be really nice if [Tommy] was able to continue to hold [Buck's] hand and could help guide him through this process. As somebody who's a little older and more experienced, to kind of help shepherd Buck into this new phase of understanding who he is."

Oliver gets it 😭 let Tommy and Buck be friends post-break up
