In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker. Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again.

Queso is not who they say they are

A thorough investigation was conducted by multiple concerned parties and found evidence that confirms Queso is actually Orchid (intermittent-showers) as well as Bree (kinardscoffee). More than that, we believe that Queso is behind the current CSA fic scandal and was behind the 2024 CSA scandal.

The full report to all of that was found is here, but to provide insight into the methodology used for the 2025 scandal, an RSS feed following nqueso-lies, imperfectowls, the-louseum, the short-lived anon ao3 tumblr account, and specifically the anonymous buddie and bucktommy fics on ao3 was used, and the hours of activity and inactivity match up between Queso and the CSA fic writer.

On top of that, during the 2024 scandal, “Bree” and “Orchid” independently offered their help to kinley server staff in catching the culprit behind the original CSA scandal as they scapegoated buddie fans. “Orchid” offered insight into an alleged buddie chat supposedly masterminding the whole ordeal, while “Bree” allegedly confronted the mastermind herself. In order to provide “proof” that the mastermind had been confronted and gotten the fics deleted, “Bree” offered a screenshot via Discord that we've found to have been actually taken by her from her own email app.

More can be seen in the document linked.

difference between buck and eddie during the el paso arc is that buck is acting like eddie is his newly dead wife haunting the narrative and eddie is acting like buck is his loving husband of three decades off on a three to five day business trip.

buck was helping eddie get packed up for texas and he said “oh, since i’m moving out of the loft, you’ll have to give me back your key.” and eddie said “oh. right.” and buck said “it doesn’t—it doesn’t have to be now, just whenever you get a chance. before you leave,” but eddie shook his head and said “no, i should uh. i should grab it now, so i don’t forget.” and he started heading down the hall, and buck followed him, confused, because eddie always kept his keys by the door. and buck ended up in the doorway of eddie’s bedroom, watching as eddie lifted his saint christopher medal out of the nightstand drawer, unclasped it, and slid his key to buck’s loft off the chain

Hello my dear friends, thank you for everything you have done for my family in advance. Recently, I have set a goal which is to find a new shelter for my family , buy some food and drink, and some necessary things to live

My goal was $2000, in order to pay all the costs Unfortunately, I collected $579 which is good enough to find shelter . there is a deficit of about $1421 , it would have been costs for food and drink

My family now can't find what to eat , there is no money, no food , and they urgently need help, we are living the most difficult moments for us since the beginning of the war.

We need 2 kilos of flour a day, but because of the severe shortage , one kilo will serve the purpose, we will not be satisfied with it but it will keep us alive

In every passing from now on, we have not collected the price of a kilo of flour, we will not eat and sleep with our stomachs completely empty. In short, if we collect $60 during the day, we will eat, if we don't collect $60 in any of the coming days, we will not eat, that is, what you will send friends, from donations during this time will be for food

Please Guys donate whatever you can, even the smallest amount could save a life. And if you can't donate, please share this post maybe it will reach someone who can 💔😔🙏

It literally makes me feel like I'm losing my mind that almost no one in the global north on here will speak about, or even react to, the fact that the US is literally funding Israeli owned death traps for starving families.

The United States and Israel have made it impossible for all actual aid to enter Gaza. Then, private contractors from the United States created the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), with Israeli support, to "take over" aid distribution. They are preventing aid distribution by all humanitarian groups in Gaza that distribute aid in coordination with the U.N., and replacing them with GHF. These GHF sites are set up in collaboration with Israeli military to lure in starving families and gun them down.

I will never get over how eddie basically called buck a deadbeat in 3x05 and then after almost dying in 3x15 literally put buck in his will as christopher's guardian like he pulled an pulled an uno reverse card on that man

stupid legal trouble making it so you can't see my kid? guess what asshole in the event of my death there'll be some stupid legal trouble ensuring that you HAVE to see my kid

A non-exhaustive list of some sub/bottom Eddie fanfics!

fever dream tangerine sweat by unicornpoe

Eddie hasn’t gone into heat since he presented at seventeen. But living with an alpha who takes care of him for the first time in his life is about to change that.

Between Something and Nothing by taegyungie

Buck has spent all of his years knowing Eddie digging through to get to him. Buck and his muddy hands and his sore back; he put in the effort to reach him and now reaps the fruits of his labour. It all begins with a heated conversation: “What, you want me to fuck you in your sleep?”

and now i'm (boneless) by autumnsreign

eddie's been a brat, here's the aftermath

here (in your arms) by devirnis

Once Eddie’s settled into his seat on the plane, he pulls out his phone to text Buck. Eddie I have had THE WORST day. When I finally get home, I’m going to pass out and sleep like a rock, and then I want to wake up with you inside me. Smirking to himself, Eddie switches his phone to airplane mode. What he wouldn’t give to see Buck’s face when he checks his messages.

a foundation of love and trust we cannot see by lemonzestywrites

an interesting call leaves Eddie curious as to the intricate world of BDSM, but being painfully single and not so eager to have something casual with a stranger he doesn't trust, Eddie finds himself stuck. thankfully though, Buck might just so happen to be the answer to his newfound problem.

How Eddie Learned To Stop Worrying and Embrace the Kitten Life by DeadlyChildArtemis

He feels someone pat him on the back. “Aww,” Chimney says, a grin in his voice. “You wanna be Buck’s little kittycat?” Or, 5 times Eddie refuses to acknowledge his cat behavior and one time he does

sun soakin' bulges in the shade by sooperlative

Eddie loves Buck, but Buck's withholding something from him; and Buck loves Eddie, and he's just waiting for Eddie to tell him what he wants.

no amount of whiskey, no amount of wine by SymphonySoldier97

“I want—“ Eddie’s not entirely sure what he wants. He feels achy, restless and exhausted at the same time. He needs something, more. More hands, more pressure, more kissing, more Buck. “Please, I—“ Buck turns him over on his back to search his face, earnest and determined and glowing like he’s in his element. Eddie’s getting drunk on seeing him in this particular element. “What can I do, baby? What do you need?” Buck shifts his hips, grinding down slow and sensual and delicious. Reflexively, Eddie spreads his legs to accommodate him, and Buck moans as they get even closer. Close enough, even, for Eddie to feel him. and fuck, shit, that’s it, isn’t it. That’s what he needs. “I feel,” Eddie’s cheeks burn, but the word fits as he forces it out, “empty.” Buck groans loudly, dropping his forehead to Eddie’s shoulder. “Oh my god. Oh my god, Eddie.”

@saucerfulofsins YES. like maybe this is a case of the author preferring one of them over the other, or an effect of ‘buck/eddie can do no wrong, past fans were incorrect’, but it’s so often just sanitisation of nuanced, human behaviour the show’s writers give them, which can cause it to fall flat in terms of the equality buck and eddie enjoy in their relationship. so what you get is a buck/eddie who is so perfect that there’s nothing interesting of him left, or a buck/eddie whose shitty-ish actions are excused to the point where it starts feeling cruel to the other character. even if it’s meant to be soft and sweet, with a little tension thrown in to keep it interesting. especially if it’s meant to be soft and sweet.

about the original topic of my post, it’s different when the torture chamber is one of character A (eddie or buck)’s own making (though that can still feel cruel; this has been tremendously common with eddie recently, from what I’ve noticed. all in the name of whump), because that way, character B (buck or eddie) is genuinely not at fault. it’s also not fun teasing flirting while the lines are still unclear, and character A is utterly confused by it but nevertheless enjoying it. what i mean is that there’s a line that gets crossed where it just gets weird. or a bit too much. and the resolution ends up being a little unsatisfying. like there’s such thing as too much confusion, or too extreme mind-games, if you know what i mean. sort of like playing with your food for the sake of playing with it. smth like intentionally caused jealousy reaches that very quickly. it’s just a fine line to walk.

(and if i’m honest this is especially common amongst migratory fans lol)

most fascinating part of the buddie fandom is that it’s genuinely almost rare to find fics that are kind to them both at the same time. most of the time fics include some kind of cruelty aimed at eddie or buck for spice—over the top whump, miscommunication, jealousy. it’s not your usual funny & bitchy buck-and-eddie banter, not their canon snark and sass between them, not friendly fucking with each other. it just has a mean vibe for no reason other than a way to introduce tension.

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

as a person who uses either public bathroom on a toss of a coin i gottta say its kind of ridicuous that people are so attached to them being seperate facilities. youre not usually gonna see anyones dick at the urinal and youre not usually gonna be able to spy on any women. the stalls are the same except one has a little tampon bin. we would lose nothing if all bathrooms were unisex and i'll die on that hill.
