#buddie madney parallels

[jackwhiteprophetic]

I love the madney and buddie parallels, ESPECIALLY when Buck and Eddie talk about Maddie leaving in S5 and Eddie tells Buck that Chim knows Maddie in a different way to him, and might have different ideas of what she needs, and then in S6 after the lightning, when Buck is overwhelmed by Maddie's help, he runs to Eddie, who knows what Buck needs in that situation.

Maddie and Buck had a traumatic childhood and both revert back to their old perceptions of each other when they're stressed, which is why Buck accepted Maddie leaving and why Maddie felt so desperate to protect and care for Buck after the lightning.

And both Chimney and Eddie are presented as contrasts to this, people who have a complex understanding of the people that Eddie and Buck have grown into. They both represent safety and growth for the Buckley siblings.

Eddie not looking up once is the cherry on top. So second nature he can't even be bothered.

I’m not saying this means anything but…

Okay, so this is a parallel of 7x04, right?? Buck takes an action, somebody gets hurt, & he spirals about whether he actually meant to hurt them or not.

I’ve been thinking about the difference between Maddie & Eddie’s reactions for a week already, but tonight sent it home for me.

Maddie said “it’s not like you meant to hurt him.” Even though she doesn’t automatically assume that he did, that’s still her first thought. When Buck hesitates & says he doesn’t know for sure, she immediately scolds him. “That’s not how you get someone’s attention, we don’t hurt the people we care about.” Given her backstory, it makes sense.

Eddie’s automatic thought is, “You saved him.” There’s no doubt in Eddie’s mind that Buck meant to help, not harm. It doesn’t even enter his thought process. When Buck freaks out, Eddie can’t think of why he would be doing that, bc Buck saved Gerrard’s life. What else could have happened?

Buck & Maddie will always see each other the way they did growing up, even if only in a small part of their minds. Maddie is Superman who has everything under control & all the answers, and Buck is the one who reacts rashly & causes damage for a scrap of attention. Their childhood was so intense & they only really had each other, they were literally in the trenches together their entire childhood, so there will always be bias there.

& I’m thinking of Eddie telling Buck in s5 that maybe Chimney knew Maddie better than Buck did. That maybe the partners they have now are able to see them clearer than their siblings.

Eddie’s trust & belief in Buck is steady & unwavering, even when Buck doesn’t believe in himself and it makes me want to SCREAM a little bit bc oh my god.

I have no idea where they’re going with this arc, but WOW I can’t wait.

Always thinking about how Buck and Chimney are essentially presented as two sides of the same coin in season 1, where both are so desperate for love and connection and security and family that they actively act self destructively to do so, and they are both shown actively trying to change who they are to grasp at any sign of affection so that people won't leave them, and in season 2 both are presented with new people that give them this comfort and their perspective on themselves actively changes at the same fucking time, and by season 7 both have little families that are intertwined but also they have a home life with the safety and security they always wanted. And over this time, both of these people (Maddie and Eddie) have shown that people can leave because they are hurting but they will come back to them, and that them leaving wasn't at the fault of either Chim or Buck. AND THIS HAPPENS IN THE SAME SEASON. The writers have just been writing essentially the same love story for the past six years.

They have set themselves up for a perfect parallel if Buck is the one actually getting kidnapped in spring premier instead of Maddie.

Let me set the stage, Eddie is in Texas doing some final views and meetings for the house he wants to buy. He's not in LA when Buck initially goes missing.

The 118 are on a 48 off, and considering that Buck has been actively and loudly avoiding his phone and they all have their own problems to deal with, they wouldn't necessarily notice if he had gone missing. It wouldn't be until Buck didn't show up to his shift that anyone would notice what went wrong.

However, there is one person that might notice, but can't do anything because he's in Texas. And I think that fact that they very clearly showed Eddie's call history, and that he has no missed calls with Buck (while Buck is avoiding his phone), means that he would notice if Buck missed his phone call.

So Eddie gets a sign that something is wrong with Buck and can't either contact anyone about it, or they all brush it off.

You know when that has happened before?

When the 911 dispatch center was taken hostage and no one believed initially believed Chim that something was wrong.

When the cruise ship was in danger and no one initially believed Hen that something was wrong?

Like, it's happened before, it will happen again.

madney // buddie + parallels (part one) 💕

If the show had kept Chim's rebar scar then Maddie would have married someone with a live-fast-die-young attitude, a mark on his head, a brother he never knew about from a parent who never loved him always looking to find a family and settles down after he finds one with his partner and kid. Coincidentally, he also loves Halloween and believes in curses.

And obviously Chimney married a former medical professional now first responder parent who is still healing from their first relationship and how it ended in death. Nevermind the fact that the traumatized, brown haired, brown eyed eldest sibling was parentified at a young age due to neglect.

Like wouldn't it be so silly that the Buckley siblings finally found someone else to fight the world with in people like the each other?
