#and buck and chris just let him

[housewifebuck]

I just feel like Eddie is one of those dads who sees clickbait “tutorials” and “recipes” on Instagram and takes them at face value and then winds up cleaning his toilet with coca cola

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

There was no reason for Buck to be involved with the Diaz situation. No reason at all. Literally speaking, Buck has no reason to be there. Not his kid. Not his marriage. Not his parents. Etc.

And yet there was every reason for him to be there. That's his child. That's his partner. Frankly I think Chris would've asked to live with Buck and not his grandparents if Buck wasn't so close to Eddie and their lives weren't so intertwined (Chris wants to get as far away from his dad as he can right now).

Buck had no reason to be there. But Buck is family. So of course he was there.

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Something something about Eddie learning Buck will be there for him off the job, even without Chris being in the equation.

Something something about that being an important realisation for him to finally make because he’s always hidden behind his son when it comes to Buck (and his love life more generally - even Shannon in reality was for Chris not himself) but he won’t be able to this time.

Something something about that realisation being the key to giving himself permission to examine his heart and feel his true feelings.

eddie makes everything weird, like not in a horrific way, but like instead of joining his boyfriends on the couch cuddling like he wants to, he just stares with cow eyes at them from across the room cause hes second, triple, quadtriple guessing himself

buck and tommy are just waiting to see if he'll actually come over by himself this time. especially since they're on his couch

[mischiefbuckley]

For this season being marketed like Eddie’s season again with Ryan doing so much press heading into the beginning of season 8… like where are all my Eddie scenes ABC??? Season 8b please deliver on more Eddie scenes and more focus on Eddie’s storyline please 🙏🏻

Controversial opinion, but the way people have been criticizing Chris for still giving Eddie the cold shoulder has been rubbing me the wrong way.

Now, the fact that Chris is still icing out Eddie three months later bothers me, too. But we really have to think about the circumstances. We're not talking about a teenager giving his dad the silent treatment because he took away his phone privileges.

We're talking about a young teenager who's still very much reeling from the trauma of seeing his dad kissing a woman who looked like his dead mother. The same dead mother who is the catalyst for his current abandonment issues and created the mindset within him that people are inevitably going to leave him. So much so, that he strung along multiple female classmates into thinking they were dating him.

And don't forget, when Buck went to talk to him before he left, he told him that for a second, he had thought that Shannon had actually come back to him, only for it to not be the case. So for him to see that and his father kissing her while having a girlfriend no less, that probably felt like the ultimate betrayal. And given who his grandparents are, I'm willing to bet that they haven't brought up the topic of what happened for Chris to actually get his feelings out about.

I'm not saying I want Chris to treat Eddie like this forever, but I do think that the kid needs to be extended the necessary grace given the situation.

and of course buck is gonna drive eddie to the airport and of course eddie is gonna reassure him that they'll still be best friends and of course buck will grin and nod and agree and tease and encourage eddie right up until he goes through those gates at which point he will have a panic attack in the airport lounge. of course.

[suhlinah]

this probably means absolutely nothing but whenever buck has worn his civvie clothes, it's ALWAYS the white high tops (apart from his Crockett outfit) but we see when he sits down on Eddie's couch w the tablet that he's got some new balance sneakers on (still white though). I mean this probably means nothing and I'm likely grasping at straws here, but we see in the next shot which is focused solely on him that he's coming to terms with 1, Eddie thinking about leaving and likely 2, that he has feelings realizations and the shoes can be a very subtle way of showing that he's found his last.

also another thing is that he's wearing a dark blue shirt and Eddie's wearing a burgundy shit which is a nod/parallel to the poker scene where buck wears red and eddie wears blue (though the colours are brighter in that scene). again, grasping at straws here but for something like this, there's always a reason why the costume department picks the clothes they do

[i-dont-even-know-anymore976]

just me thinking thoughts about all that stuff at the end of last season about eddie destroying his own life, and how we’re supposed to get a big confession from him his episode and how, to me, it can only mean one thing

🕯️ 🕯️

🕯️ eddie’s been 🕯️

🕯️ hooking up with 🕯️

🕯️ kim all this 🕯️

🕯️ time 🕯️

🕯️ 🕯️

it would just be delicious. the fucked-up-ness of it all. the complete eddie destructiveness cycle. and i believe he’d do it. bc that boy knew the fight club was a bad idea, BUT HE KEPT GOING. so hooking up with his dead wife’s look alike, just to feel something??? oh he’d do it. even if the only thing he’s feeling is regret when the sheets are cold.

[wannabemylover]

I'm sorry, but Eddie was shot in broad daylight and thought, "this is it, this is the last moment of my life," and he reached for Buck. He thought he was dying, and all he could do was look at Buck and reach.

[178owintersball]

ok ok oKAY STAY CALM BC HOW IS BUCK’S APARTMENT SMOKEY WITHOUT THE SMOKE DETECTOR GOING OFF????

AND EDDIE LIED TO BUCK AND CHRISTOPHER TO GO CHEAT ON HIS GIRLFRIEND???

SO IF BUCK APARTMENT DID BURN DOWN NOT ONLY WOULD IT BE AWFUL BUT EDDIE WOULD BE SO RACKED WITH GUILT THAT HE LIED HE WOULD LITERALLY FORCE BUCK TO STAY WITH HIM

MARISOL WOULD BREAK UP WITH HIM WHEN SHE REALIZED WHERE HE WAS SO SHE WOULDNT BE AN ISSUE

TOMMY WOULD PROBABLY STICK AROUND FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE ACKNOWLEDGING THE GAY ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

THIS IS HOW WE WIN

THE 8X01 FIC IS FINISHED!

I still have to run through and edit it, and given that it's currently 10pm & I swore I was going to stop posting fics in the middle of the night, I'll probably start posting it tomorrow 🥳🥳

[god-i-hope-so]

So, Ghost of a Second Chance.

It's funny how they make Buck fail a new lasagna recipe when he cooked them perfectly in a previous episode. What can you do wrong since it's the same process but maybe with different ingredients? lol Did he fuck up the ragù? Did he baked it too long and burned the parmiggiano?? I need to know lol

Oh yeah, also. Eddie. What the hell are you doing... But it's not that surprising. Since Shannon's death, he's been obsessed with her memory. He never let her go and it's ruining his love life.

Have some more of the Buck proposes to Natalia fic because i really like this bit even if this is on Eddie's pov just because Buck refused to let me get into his head for the actual fight because i really do like my tragically pining Eddie povs prev snippet

You need to move on. I have.  Eddie doesn't know why he's thinking about that now. But he feels the same way he did in his kitchen trying to pretend he could feel like a normal human again if he just made it through a couple more days while Buck kept trying to get him to stop lying.  Buck always knows when to call bullshit on what Eddie's saying.  Buck's gonna call bullshit now.  Eddie can see it in his eyes.  And it's weird because Buck is never the one to pick a fight.  But there's a fire in his gaze that leaves Eddie scared, if he's truly honest.  Maybe he won't have to make it through the wedding because it seems like everything is about to crash and burn right now.

eddie moves to texas, leaving buck in la, but crucially does not tell chris, just says he’ll see him soon. chris and eddie spend time together, are doing okay, chris wants to know how long a time off bobby gave his dad to visit texas, eddie informs chris that he actually lives here now and thinks chris will like his new room. chris is horrified because he never wanted to stay in texas. a call back to eddie quitting the 118, ‘i thought that’s what you wanted/i never said that” and chris is like well what now i don’t want to live in texas i want to go home, where’s buck? and eddie is once again tortured by the idea that he’s doing everything wrong because he uprooted his life, chris’s life, bucks life, and none of them wanted it. chris tells eddie to call buck immediately and eddie does and then we cut to bucks loft, where he’s sitting on eddies old couch with red eyes, raises the ringing phone, glances at the name, and then silences it and puts it back down, raises a beer and drinks in silence, shot exactly like the post-breakup scene but without eddie.

I have mixed feelings on the EddieKim kiss being cut

On the one hand, keeping the kiss in would've definitely cemented Eddiesol bones for the finale since Marisol walking in on Eddie and Kim just hugging could leave any possibility of a break-up ambiguous.

But on the other hand, I feel like Chris seeing a woman he doesn't know look like a carbon copy of his mother is already traumatizing and distressing as it is. So him walking in on his dad actually kissing her would definitely make things worse.
