[repressedqueen]

I will try "the Evan Buckley method": I like, I touch, they kiss me in my dating life as well.

I let you know how it goes.

[t3rraria]

Buck: Tommy kissed me Eddie

Eddie: woah

*later*

Eddie: IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME MADDIE. I SHOULD'VE BEEN HIS BISEXUAL AWAKENING!

Maddie: always gonna be second now 😔

Saw someone write a fanfic about buck and eddie having a third.. my guy, their jealous asses barely share as friends

[averydedicateduck]

Me and my mom were catching up on the latest seasons of 9-1-1 to watch the one that's coming out and in the scene where Eddie and Buck are talking about Chris being a player and Eddie says 'I don't know where he got that from' my mom and I said at the same time 'buck of course'

[llove-me-anyway]

Season 8 opens with Buck and Eddie making out. I'm talking real steamy scene, maybe even clothes coming off. But also you can tell how comfortable they are. There might be some giggles in between, whenever they pause for air.

Cuts to Buck waking up in a cold sweat. Tommy comfortably dozing off next to him. He runs to the bathroom to splash some cold water on his face. What. The. Fuck. Eddie has been going through it. Buck needs to be there for his best friend right now, not this. How can he even look him in the eyes after this stupid dream.

And it's not like he can speak to someone about it. Not even Maddie, even though he knows she would never judge him, there is no way he can tell her about this. And Tommy. He has a boyfriend now, this cannot be happening.

Why did he dream about it. And why has he never felt happier, more right, than when he was in that dream.

Canon Events that have happened over the three episodes that have me going INSANE (like, these actually happened and are not Fanon.)

Buck asked Tommy for a tour of Harbour, not because he wanted to consider learning to fly, or leave the 118, but soley because he wanted to hang out with Tommy.

Buck used Christopher for information on Tommy.

Buck pretended to suddenly be into Basketball so that he could go to the game, just because he knew Eddie and Tommy would be there.

MADDIE MOCKED BUCK ABOUT OPENLY HAVING A CRUSH ON EDDIE.

Buck body slammed Eddie while playing Basketball (honestly, I still cannot get over the fact that he YEETED THIS BOII).

Tommy got Buck's address from Eddie and chose to come around to apologise to Buck even though, TECHNICALLY, Buck was the one acting like a spoilt brat all episode.

BUCK WAS KISSED BY A MAN. SPECIFICALLY, BUCK WAS KISSED BY TOMMY. And then proceeded to be swept off his feet by this man and was left starstruck in his apartment, after Tommy openly communicated that he had to go to work and wasn't just kissing and bailing.

"I'm an Ally."... Need I say no more.

Buck acted like a totally fucking idiot on his first date with Tommy, and proceeded to have Tommy cut the date short because of how unready he seemed. WHICH BY THE WAY, TOMMY AGAIN COMMUNICATED SO BEAUTIFULLY WITH BUCK AND PROCEEDED TO STILL CALL THIS MAN ADORABLE. HE CALLED HIM ADORABLE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Buck accidently outed himself to Maddie because he was doing a ramble ramble about his lil buck'ed up date.

Buck told Eddie he was on a date with Tommy, and Eddie proceeded to be the bestie of besties to Buck and told him, they all loved him anyways. HE USED THE WORDS. Bucks face in that scene will forever make my lil gay heart WEEP.

Buck told Eddie he couldn't stop thinking about the hot pilot that kissed him. CRYING.

Buck proceeded to grow the fuck up and apologised to Tommy, face to face, out in a public space, knowing full well that Tommy could have dropped his ass there and then, but still wanted to show him how sorry he was, and that he was, in fact, ready.

BUCK INVITED TOMMY TO BE HIS DATE TO THE MADNEY WEDDING DESPITE ONLY technically GOING ON TWO DATES. AND THEN TOMMY. SAID. YES. HE SAID YES. YES.

Buck also then invited Tommy to Chim's bachelor party, HELD HIS ARMS OPEN ACROSS THE ROOM READY FOR A HUG, told Tommy off for his outfit, showing off true Clipboard Buck form, AND THEN TOUCHED HIS PECK.

Eddie, the bestie of besties, got all sappya and jokey when he saw Tommy and Buck together.

Buck got all pouty when Tommy had to go to work, BUT TOLD HIM TO BE SAFE. HE SAID BE SAFE DAMNIT.

Buck got all goofy and smiley when he saw that Tommy had arrived at the hospital, MEANING, that he was most likely texting Tommy all day updating him on everything that was going on, even if Tommy couldn't respond while attending to the fire.

BUCK. CALLED. TOMMY. A. BEAST. HE SAID THIS CANONICALLY. ARE YOU JOKING. HE FULLY ATTACKED MY MAN, WHILE HE WAS COVERED IN SOOT AND SHIT, SNOGGED HIS FACE OFF IN A HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM, AND CALLED HIM A BEAST. I AM DECEASED.

Buck, the idiot that he is, proceeded to out himself, to his entire family, by coming back into the room, most likely 15 to 20 minutes after leaving, covered in soot because he had been uncontrollably making out with his hot pilot boyfriend.

Eddie, the bestie of besties, GOT SO FUCKING SMUG WHEN HE SAW BUCK AND TOMMY WALK BACK IN THAT ROOM. HE PULLED THE SAME FACE I PULL WHEN MY FRIENDS HAVE COME BACK FROM MAKING OUT WITH PEOPLE AND I AM HERE FOR IT. EDDIE YOU BESTIE SLAY SLAY SLAY.

Hen, the queen that she is, has most likely spoken to Karen about her suspicons of Buck's sexuality, and procceed to say ABOUT DAMN TIME. SHE KNEW THIS WHOLE TIME. HER GAYDAR IS ON FIRE. I LOVE HER.

Again, all of these events happened IN ACTUAL EPISODES, not in a fanfiction. I am FERAL over this. Bi!Buck is the best thing to ever happen to me.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk and if you don't ship BuckTommy, leave.

eddie when buck came to the diaz household for a sleepover again.

[typicalopposite]

Ok so in all honesty I’m hoping the look Buck’s mom gave after seeing him and Tommy was nothing more than her old brain trying to understand and process what she was seeing…

I really hope if his parents mention Tommy anytime soon on the show the depth of angst is so shallow it doesn’t even faze Buck… maybe even surprises him a little that it goes so well. Because we don’t have much time left with Buck this season and even less with Tommy and I want it to be so happy and easy for them

however… HOWEVER

in fic format.

I am devouring the deep angst post coming out fics. I need more of them. I crave more of them😀

Because… there’s a because I’m not just sadistic ok. I need Bucks tribe to stand up to his parents for him. I need MADDIE to stand up to their parents for him. I need Chimney and Bobby and Hen and Eddie… I NEED CHRISSSS TO STAND UP TO THE BUCKLEY PARENTS FOR HIM…. I NEED THE NURSES AND- AND SOME RANDOM PATIENT DOWN THE HALL TO STAND UP FOR HIM

YALL *feral noises* I NEED TOMMY TO STAND UP TO MARGARET AND PHILIP BUCKLEY FOR THIS MAN!!!

I know there’s already quite a few out there… but I need more! I need all the fics of Buck’s people showing up for him!

Because his parents just were (are if you are petty like me and cannot forgive and forget) so terrible and they got let off so easy… so soooo easy! And it’s not fair!

And so I (ok maybe it is a little sadistically) want even more angst from them so it can be fixed with love from everyone else

Ya know?

Buck : I have daddy issues

High Chaparral was...

...better than Bonanza, I'm sorry. It's no dig at Bonanza. It's forever enshrined as one of the most influential and beloved TV westerns of all time, and for good reason.

But High Chaparral was better. The relationships were much more organic and believable, the issues were presented with respect, but realistically, too. (Bonanza was a bit preachy imo). The humor, in HC's earlier seasons, at least, provided a welcome balance, and kept the drama from becoming melodrama. (A theme that the Bonanza leaned way too heavily into, and its prequel, Ponderosa, went 'hold my beer' on. But Matt Carmody was a dreamboat so I watched every episode.)

Anyway, enjoy some gifs that highlight why I love High Chaparral.

[weewoo-doodles]

Evan “Buck” Buckley: Man Kisser, Dude Dater 🏳️‍🌈💕🚒.

[t3rraria]

Buck: my ex girlfriend abby-

Tommy: oh I had an ex girlfriend called Abby she was a 911 dispatcher. Wonder if Maddie knows her?

Buck: ... My ex Abby was a 911 dispatcher..

Tommy & buck at the same time: WAS YOUR EX GIRLFRIEND ABBY CLARK!?

Eddie from behind: yes, break up the situationship! Buck is all mine.

Hen: you are cruel for bringing up ex's

[hoechlinth]

i actually cannot overstate how important and impactful it is to have a character who has dated exclusively the opposite sex for 7 seasons of their show be revealed as bisexual. in the 100th episode no less.

this is for all the queer people who had revelations about their sexuality late in life, or who have been made to question their validity as a queer person because of their dating history.
