my buddie going canon ideal scenario and why it could happen before eddie fully realises he’s gay

i’ve been cooking up this scenario for a while now but before going into it i wanna clarify that i don’t think eddie’s homosexuality is tied to buck and just that. i could write a full essay about eddie’s queerness without even mentioning buck. HOWEVER i do think buck could be the key to eddie’s discovery, the last puzzle piece that makes it all make sense.

narratively speaking, i think it could be interesting to see buck and eddie get to the same conclusion (that they’re in love with each other) but in the complete opposite way. while for buck it’s oh shit i’m bi > oh shit i’m in love with eddie, for eddie it would be oh shit i’m in love with buck > oh shit i’m gay. and obviously eddie is starting his own journey just now, so he might realise he’s gay and then it could click for him that all he’s been looking for was there all along, but i do think that - since this is a tv show - it would be interesting to offer a different side of the story to the audience. and yes i know that buck’s queerness and eddie’s queerness are very different already, but i’m specifically referring to their storylines leading up to buddie. (also this is just a personal side note but i think i would be lowkey crazy to have both of them realise they’re queer and still not understand their feelings for each other, like i know they’re dumb and dumber but c’mon!!!)

ok so now let’s put on the tinfoil hat

we literally know nothing about what’s gonna happen in the next episodes so i don’t have any solid theory on how we could get to this scenario. some of the interviews were teasing some potential tension (or angst even) between buck and eddie so my brain took this information and ran with it. a lot of us were also theorising a nde for buck, for eddie or for both of them at the same time and that could also be the setup for what i’m thinking.

but first let’s analyse where buck and eddie are right now (and in the upcoming episodes)

buck was just broken up with so now he’s trying to explore his sexuality and understand it more. it feels like the search for “his last” has just started and he’s excited to look at relationships and love through a new lens, but he also might feel a little discouraged that he has to do it all over again. he might be thinking “now that i have all these new possibilities, why is it still so hard to find my person?” (average bisexual experience i will tell you that much).

eddie on the other hand is slowly trying to forgive himself and love himself, accepting joy and not pushing away his desires and needs. allowing himself to feel certain feelings and just let go. he’s taking small steps to show up for himself just like he does for his loved ones every day (we still don’t know how far they’re gonna go with his story so the next episodes are definitely gonna be interesting)

so, with all that being said, here’s how buddie could go canon:

it’s late and buck shows up at eddie’s house. they’re in the kitchen drinking a beer, both leaning on the counter and not looking at each other at first. something has happened between them that they need to clear up (could be an argument, a fight or some very important words exchanged when they thought they were about to lose the other).

as much as i love a “because i love you!!” screamed during an argument, i don’t see that happening in this scenario. i imagine them having the softest, most honest and open conversation where they lay it all out - without even realising what they’re doing. at some point, buck is gonna say something that will make it finally click for eddie. if it’s an argument he could say something like “i need you in my life”/“i want you in my life forever”, or if this happens after a nde he could say “i can’t imagine my life without you”/“i don’t know how i could live without you” (i’m not a writer but you get the gist lol)

and that’s when eddie finally allows himself to feel what deep down he’s been feeling for years, and so he leans over and kisses buck. the kiss is pretty short: eddie pulls away almost immediately, as if his body was possessed by something and he just snapped out of it. buck can’t believe what just happened, but it takes him just a few seconds to realise and to grab eddie’s face and kiss him back. they start making out, they go out of frame, the screen turns black, the episode is over.

now let’s talk about the aftermath of the kiss. because if we know 911 we know that this goddamn show can’t let people just be happy so of course there’s gonna be some angst and miscommunication.

after the kiss, they don’t really talk about it. they might even get interrupted by something else (maybe eddie has to go to texas to get chris back?) so they have to postpone the what the fuck just happened conversation. and that’s when both of them start to spiral, but for different reasons. buck of course thinks that eddie’s distance means that he regretted the kiss, that they got caught up in the moment but that he doesn’t feel that way about him and he basically ruined their friendship. eddie is also freaking the fuck out: he’s panicking about how they could make their relationship work, how they could tell christopher, he’s questioning literally his whole life and past relationships like oh my god have i been gay this whole fucking time??, he’s worried about their jobs, how they’re gonna tell bobby and the others. basically questioning everything but buck.

being the idiots that they are, they’re gonna convince themselves that the other regretted everything and they’re gonna avoid each other and never have that much needed conversation. the 118 obviously notices that something is off, but no one knows what it is. until hen and eddie finally talk and he tells her everything: what happened, what made him panic and doubt everything and what’s stopping him from talking to buck. hen is shocked but not necessarily surprised. her and karen look at eachother (yes karen is there too because of eddiekaren bestfriendism that is very real to me) and then hen says something like “i don’t have the answers to all of these questions, but i’m sure of one thing: you love him and he loves you. you can figure out the rest together. go talk to him” (i think it would be nice for eddie to have this conversation with henren as a couple, since his biggest fears and concerns are about how they could make the relationship work)

eddie feels like he just woke up from a 20+ year long sleep. he runs out of hen’s place, hurrying to his car, and from now i’m picturing a full romcom montage with him just fighting for his life to get to buck’s apartment: traffic, construction work so he has to take a detour, his shirt is drenched in sweat so he has to go back home to change because surely he can’t show up at buck’s looking like that. once he gets home, he sprints to his room to find a new shirt (maybe he puts on too much cologne - the one buck likes - and he has to change again. just because it would be fun to see him in distress). he fixes his hair for the 100th time, grabs his keys, finally opens the front door and stops in disbelief. buck is on his doorstep, hand mid-air about to knock. they look at each other and in that moment they just know. they both lean in and go for the kiss aaand BUDDIE CANON !!!! (+ the buck at eddie’s door parallel finally having the romcom resolution it always meant to have)

of course i have no clue how we could get there, but i do feel like it would be true to the show if they didn’t immediately get together and if there was some angst between them. i hope that once they get together they won’t try to break them up (even just temporarily) so they might have to go through some shit at the very beginning of their relationship for that to happen.

alright tinfoil hat OFF folks. i always try to stay consistent to the show and only come up with theories that i could truly see being developed and i don’t think any of this is unrealistic. buuut i’m still a clown so who knows. quite frankly i’m fine with buddie canon either way (as long as their first kiss is initiated by eddie and it happens in his kitchen <3)

Whatever you do don’t think about a world where Eddie is missing/presumed dead/in a coma/actually dead (that’s my least favorite option) and the will goes into effect which means Buck not only gets Chris but also Eddie’s estate.

Which means he gets his truck. The first truly selfish thing Eddie did was buy that truck with the dirty bloody fight club money, and now it’s Buck’s.

He stores it away somewhere, always having preferred the jeep, and it’s just easier to not think about most of the time.

But sometimes,on the bad days, when he misses Eddie like a limb, especially once the sheets on the bed and the clothes in the dresser stop smelling like him, and after Buck’s become nose-blind to the smell of Eddie’s bath products, Buck will spray just a tiny bit of Eddie’s cologne on one of his old shirt collars, and Buck will put it on, and he’ll hop in Eddie’s truck which is the only place that still *smells like him* and drive around.

And it’s just for him. He shares everything else with Chris, their coping mechanisms pulling together so you don’t know who came up with the idea for what. But not this, not the truck. That’s for Buck.

He even buys a St. Christopher medallion and digs out Eddie’s dog tags and hangs them from the rear view mirror. He leaves Eddie’s work duffle in the back, still full of his dirty clothes and uniforms, and there’s an old Astros hat somewhere and when Buck gets going on the freeway he can hear the water bottle he bought for Eddie rolling around on the floor.

And it’s his own private heaven and hell and confessional and baptismal font all at once.

Yeah, don’t imagine that, you’ll probably cry.

tbh the fact that i ended up shipping carageta is really funny because i didn't even want to go see the movie. And now I'm halfway through typing up a second fic and it's been. a week. what happened.

[jackwhiteprophetic]

When I think about the lawsuit and the saviour baby stuff and how they link it makes my heart hurt

Because Buck throws up blood in Bobby's home and he can't do the one thing he has decided he was born to do and he would give his life for this and it's not enough.

And Buck is familiar with how Bobby is acting, when he acts somewhat triggered and devastated when Buck gets hurt, because it is how his parents have always acted.

And Buck is used to being looked at by a grieving parent who sees a child who isn't there anymore, even if he never had the words for it, he knows that there is someone that he needs to become to try and fix this for everyone, and he's confused because when he is hurt now, Bobby looks terrified and not angry. And instead of giving him more attention when he's reminded of his own lost children, Bobby turns away, because he cannot see Buck as his child because he destroys everything he loves.

im only on like episode 9, but im obsessed with the aesthetic of blakes 7. the audio phone connector type guns. the ugly ass computer guy thats just like 5 lights. buttons everywhere. the fact that 80% of the costumes are horrendously ugly. the funny little trinkets and gizmos that were clearly mostly made by glueing some trash together. bbc scifi aesthetic at its peak.

sorry about all the skinny white guys. it will probably happen again

[to-be-a-dreamer]

Starting 9-1-1 because of Buck and Tommy is so funny because a) Early Season 1 Buck is. A lot. and b) Tommy’s in all the flashback episodes and when they first said his name I was like “huh weird one of the old 118 guys has the same name as Tommy, weird that they didn’t pick a new name when they were introducing Buck’s- OH WAIT A SECOND” genuinely I didn’t realize that was Buck’s Tommy until the end of the Chimney episode you’d think with the number of clips I’ve seen over the past week I would have clocked it instantly but in my defense, all beefy white men look the same to me

[cursed-rat-of-homosexuality]

okay so how did no one tell me that episodes 6x02 and 6x03 are straight up a full length movie?????? How the fuck did we go from a typical 9-1-1 episode of Buck trying to find the secret of happiness and Hen studying for finals to an 90min mystery movie thats also a beautiful exploration of character and the best thing I've ever seen??????

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE LILAC WINE SEQUENCE????

I’ve seen people saying that the cheerleader convo with the kid’s dad is a one way ticket to gay Eddie

And while I don’t disagree because it needs to happen and I love how they’re planting enough seeds that even if people don’t get it NOW, they’ll get it when they look back, I have another thought

Eddie said something to the other dad that was like “maybe he’s not reaching out because he’s waiting for you to come” and I’m like. Edmundo Diaz do you hear yourself. Go pick up your teenager baby right tf now. He does not need space he needs his dad.
