#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.

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.

madney // buddie + parallels (part one) 💕

[tape-deck]

thinking about "he kept saying that [...] she needs our help. but i know she's gonna be okay. he just doesn't know her the way i do". thinking about buck waiting for maddie to come home/maddie setting a schedule for someone to be checking on buck round-the-clock, about chimney knowing maddie needs help and going after her/eddie knowing buck needs space and letting buck come to him. thinking about "or you don't know her the way he does."
