eddie got wind of the bucktommy daddy issues line via hen and thought fuck you, kinard, there is no way you can grow facial hair like a newly gym-ratted half-mexican texan can and proceeded to grow a full lush beard in a little under forty minutes just so he could shave it into a mustache so gay that it'd put freddie fucking mercury to shame, and then buck took one look at eddie and immediately went subconsciously cerifiably insane and shaved off his sideburns in a wildly desperate attempt to twink himself up

I still can’t believe Buck had the audacity to bring Taylor to dinner at his husbands house AND later in the episode he says “I had dinner with Eddie last night”, as if Taylor wasn’t even there to begin with 😂

So... what are the odds that the coffee Buck got for Tommy was fixed the way Eddie usually takes his?

when you're smiling the fakest smile ever

[family-tree-of-ships]

So, I’ve been thinking.

Buck has some seriously bad taste in girlfriends over the course of these glorious 6 seasons, before he decides to see if the other side can bring some light in. I mean, all of the women he has seriously dated had some strong likable qualities to them and they all wanted what’s best for Buck (I’m trying at my own share of optimism here). I think, from all of them, Abby was his most successful one (before it obviously crashed and burned and shattered his big wonderful heart). It had something none of the other ones had. Acceptance and honesty. Abby accepted his job, listened when Buck was caught up into his head about the stresses of the job. Buck accepted her problems with her mother and helped her through while she was alive and for a good time after she passed. Buck was honest with her, as she was with him. They had been through their fair share of trials and tribulations. Up until she left for Europe, I honestly liked them together.

Once they’re officially over, all the other relationships he has either miss one or the other.

Ali couldn’t get over the dangers Buck was open to while on the job.

Taylor fully accepted his job, even was honest and genuine with him at some point. Buck didn’t reciprocate either. He couldn’t get over her intense ambition for every new story she could use to her benefit (to which she obtained by breaching his trust, both when they first met and when they were well into their relationship). He wasn’t open with her, again, in many circumstances. Even cheated on her with Lucy, for whom he didn’t have any sort of feelings other than attraction. When you get drunk, the truth comes out. There’s no devil, just a complete lack of self-restraint. If Buck truly loved her, which we know he didn’t, since her answer to her confession was literally “Good.”, getting drunk should’ve confirmed his affections, not completely contradict them. Buck, seems like an affectionate and happy drunk, since that’s who he is. If he loved Taylor, we should’ve gotten a sequence in which he calls her and starts spitting dramatic declarations or even comes home to her because when you love someone, they’re your home. Your instinct is to go them, not kiss the next person you see. Then, he lies, once he gets to his apartment, after this ‘mistake’. And asks her to move in. Because he got nervous. He couldn’t be honest with her. When they found out, they brushed it off quickly, never to be mentioned again. As if they wore both scared. They break it off, eventually, after a story that should’ve remained private made the headlines. It was an important breach in trust, but it shouldn’t have been enough for Buck, considering how loyal he is (just look at how much he waited for Abby). But it didn’t need to be too much, since there wasn’t anything too significant or tethering between them to begin with.

Natalia was fascinated by his death, which was an instant message that this wasn’t going to last in any way, shape or form. Buck is also dishonest with her, about Lucy and his history with her, again. We can understand this, it shines a bad light on him if he confesses he has cheated before, but didn’t he say she sees him? Shouldn’t that bring out at least some kind of easiness into ending up saying the truth? Apparently not.

We can see why the majority dislike Buck’s choices in the women he dates long-term. Ali and Natalia never get fleshed out. Abby and Taylor do and you, as a watcher, can even sympathize with them, but they both end up really hurting Buck. So, what can you do? Settle for what the show gives you? Fandoms don’t do that, especially when they aren’t satisfied.

Okay, so who reaches those two requirements and is constantly present in Buck’s life, who is properly fleshed out? You guessed it.

Drumrolls, please.

Eddie.

Do we even have to talk about acceptance? Come on.

Eddie has been here since season 2. Through a near death experience, then another one, then a lawsuit and then another one (there’s a lot, enough to fill a whole card-based game). Buck has also had to suffer through two of those near-death meetings with Death that Eddie has had. They’ve fully had each other’s backs within the first 48 hours of meeting one another. Honesty between them is natural and that is expressed in a lot of scenes. To list a few, we have Eddie having panic attacks when he thinks of committing to Ana. He goes and talks about it with Buck and Bobby and then breaks it off with her. Secondly, when Eddie finds about the fates of his army friends and destroys his bedroom through a fit of rage brought on by helplessness and fear. A very vulnerable state to be in (let’s be honest, how many damn people have seen Eddie cry his eyes out?). Buck goes in, listens to him, gives him advice and we later see them both patching up his wrecked bedroom walls. Thirdly, we have Buck going to his house to get some reprieve from the constant worry his friends have for him, knowing that he won’t be pushed here, but comfortably accompanied. He falls asleep immediately (let’s ignore couch theory before I go bonkers). That’s both of them expressing vulnerability and raw honesty. More than they’ve done with any lover, no matter how fleshed out.

There’s clearly an answer here. We’re going to wait until they find it.

seen some people saying that if buddie doesn't become canon, at least make eddie gay and give him a boyfriend.

the reason why buddie makes sense is because of the trust that they built with each other.

so no, making eddie gay and giving him a boyfriend is the same nonsense as him ending up with marisol.

if abc does introduce a new character starting ep 1, they have a lot of ground to cover because again, they're fighting against someone who's a legal guardian to his son, who has shared trauma with him and aforementioned son, and built their trust on each other over the YEARS.

also saw someone say that because they've been introduced as straight, suddenly making them gay won't make any sense.

see, they're best friends, and they have had relationships with women that just kept failing and they still haven't learned.

i'm clinging hard on the couch theory and buck falling fast asleep on the diaz couch.

i'm just saying that i was once a big "but they're just friends!!! don't make them lovers!!!" advocate, but we're at season 7 people, what do you want?

if they bring back Ali, show me pining Eddie.

as for Eddie, what, suddenly Ana Flores works? Or I don't know what's her face.

I like buddie because it makes sense not because i like mlm. if one of them was a girl, i would have loved it, too.

This is how I’ll go about my day. Everyday now.

[eddiewithcat]

feel crazy just want to brainrot with someone else over this because WOOOWWW

[eddiestightywhities]

Eddie: *360 internal monologue* I'm straight, I'm straight, I'm straigh—

Eddie: *sees Evan Buckley for the first time*

Eddie: *whispers* My name is Edmundo Diaz and I am a gay man

[if-not-now-tell-me-when]

My brain is completely rotten, and I'm convinced there's a deeper meaning to Eddie asking Buck to join him in the treasure hunt, Buck saying he's working with Taylor, Eddie making a little sad face and Buck immediately saying he could join them and split the treasure 3 ways.

[hannahacked-blog]

just watched 7×01

Is it just me OR is the first episode a melting pot of buddie REFERENCES? I mean the second i saw the bomb i thought "mhm, where have we already encountered something like this? " BAM 2×01. The whole scene in the locker room? When Eddie's changing? 2×01. This "welcome back to the world of the living" moment? This hand on Buck's shoulder? Been there DONE THAT in 3×03 aka there's nobody in this world i trusted my son more than you. Same scenes to me. It's like we're watching them relive these moments or something. But like they start to UNDERSTAND something's different this time.

[avnasace]

im strangely happy they left eddie out of bucks coma dream universe now honestly, because at least when hes around eddie he'll know hes actually awake

[confessionsofatvjunkie]

Okay, but what if Eddie goes to Buck’s, puts his hand on his shoulder like he has a million times before, like it belongs there. Tells him he accepts him and he’ll always be his friend and just wants him to be happy. He puts on a happy face to be supportive, and as soon as the door closes behind him when he leaves his face just falls because he knows in his soul that he is the one that should putting that smile on Buck’s face… huh, what then?!?!?

[byler-alarmist]

If I said Eddie Diaz needs to buy his own "toy" in S8.....

Bonus: same episode, where he canonically admits to Buck he's pent up and can't get off
