#GIVE EDDIE HIS BABY BACK

[1doesnotsimplyhavejust1fandam]

We moved on from Buck being the one to meet Kim at the station too fast. Way too fast.

Because hey, what would you do if the dead wife or a doppelgänger dead wife of your best friend-partner-almost love of your life showed up at your place of work with brownies? Would you ignore the date you scheduled in favor of driving over to your best friend’s place to knock urgently on his back door because you’re so afraid that something is happening to him. And you know that something is happening because the doppelgänger of his dead wife just showed up to the firehouse with brownies like it was just another Monday. You think you might have to push him to talk, but it feels more like your best friend was just waiting for someone to see him, and he is just as dumbfounded as you, and maybe even as scared for himself as you are for him. So you tell him that he needs to break it off with the doppelgänger of his dead wife, but you know that it’s more complicated than that, your best friend’s feelings, even though you trust him to do the right thing and end it with her. But you’re still not through the shock of seeing the doppelgänger of your best friend’s dead wife standing in the fire station, heart beating, lungs expanding, and so you think that maybe your best friend is still in shock too, and you don’t want to push too hard at his grief-wound. So you leave it for now, and you don’t come back to it until it blows up in your face, and your best friend’s face, and his son’s face too.

So yeah, I’d say that Buck probably has a lot of regrets too about the Kim situation. He’s a fixer, no matter how hard he tries, and they lost the kid both of them love more than anything over the situation. You can’t tell me that Buck hasn’t been screaming crying throwing up about it since May. Fuck that.

It doesn’t matter that we don’t get characters’ inner thoughts (usually) on this show. Buck met Kim, and he talked about it with Eddie twice. That’s crazy. That’s certifiably insane. It’s been six months. The midseason finale is tomorrow. There is no excuse for Eddie and Christopher still not speaking. This is no excuse for Buck and Eddie still never discussing Kim or at least Chris leaving. These characters are not meant to be this horrifically repressed. It is strange. It is out of character. Kim showed up for about four episodes and disappeared into the ether. I want to know what the hell is going on with this storyline.

1. Chris ignores some of the calls

2. He calls Buck after talking to his dad/not talking to Chris

3. He calls just Buck sometimes

my heart just broke into a million pieces 🙃

I think I have whiplash from that episode… One of the biggest emotional rollercoasters I’ve seen from a single episode of TV in a long time… Especially with that fucking promo for next week… I’m nauseous bro

[lavendereddiediaz]

eddie being so hurt at the prospect of that dad willingly not being involved in his kids life. showing up at the hospital to help the kid with his crutches. talking openly about how much he misses chris. how am I supposed to cope with this.

[oneofthedrunksattheoverpass]

nobody think about how that is probably the first birthday eddie has been apart from chris since he was in the military

[1doesnotsimplyhavejust1fandam]

This is how Buddie roommates can still win: Eddie can’t keep up the payments for TWO houses at once, so he’ll sell or release the lease of the LA house, and then once him and Christopher are both ready to come home, the real estate prices in LA are BAD, so he and Buck talk, and Buck’s apartment lease is up in the new year (or whenever Eddie and Chris return in the 911 timeline). So they get a house to share with Christopher. A little bigger than the Diaz house right now, but well within Eddie AND Buck’s collective price range.

It makes very little realistic sense in terms of Buck randomly moving out of his loft after being happy enough there for six years (and it being a permanent set piece for the 911 real world lot). But it would be so much more interesting than Eddie and Chris coming back to LA, and magically getting their old house back, or having to find a different one that fits them when Buck was already talking about how bad LA prices are in-universe.

And if I’m being honest, Buck telling Eddie that he’s going to help him with the El Paso real estate was sooooo sus, it pinged in my brain in that “everything means something” type of way that media does sometimes. Because there’s no way that Buck would help Eddie move to El Paso and find a house down there, and then not help him do just that to come back home.

I always found it slightly awkward how media makes siblings or people who see each other as siblings call each other brother/sister all the time as in real life you almost never see people do that with their own siblings (maybe someone out there like that)

In the case of Arkham Shadows I see why they did though because Bruce quite literally tells Harvey he loves him and Harvey says it back. Can't have the audience think Batman is in love with the DA.

They had Bruce pay for his college, pay for his campaign, pay for his surgery, pay for his therapy and had Harvey have him as his best man at his wedding. Wow..... Sugar baby Harvey is real.....

The calling sibling title thing is less common in English than in some other languages for sure- me and a couple of my siblings do it on occasion, but it's for a bit then. More common is when I call one of my close family friends "my sister" or "my nephew" when talking about them to someone else because it's faster and easier to say that than to say "my friend who I've known since she was born and lived with for a few years and consider a little sister" or "child of a close family friend who considers me an aunt" to someone who doesn't know them. Which is a lot of words to say that if they wanted to fully sell me on the brothers thing they should have either had a different bit or should have referred to the other as "my brother" when talking to an unrelated character instead.

But "oh no we have to make Bruce not look gay" has been a problem DC has struggled with more than once for many decades and it basically never works so I guess at least they didn't try to solve it this time by having Bruce pick a lady love over Harvey or cutting the holding hands thing

Because I saw that scrapbook! I know Harvey has been Bruce's sugar baby since he was ten years old! But we can't have Bruce take Harvey's hand and call him the love of his life because ok technically that's Gotham but also because gay. And we can't have Bruce take Harvey's hand and call him his best friend because they're not ten anymore and somehow that seems gay also. So brothers it is, I guess. Even if I think my brothers would bite my finger if I ever tried to pay for everything for them on that scale, guess it's different at billionaire levels
