What's interesting to me is with the semi reconciliation between Eddie and his dad there wasn't really a reason to show that Buck was Christopher's guardian. Its plausible now to assume Eddie could find a way to work it out with his parents especially with his sisters and Abuela there. Yet we all know he still is comfortable with his "chosen family ". And let me explain, firstly I'm one of the ones that believes Buddie was always set up as slow burn. So everything from the beginning was intentional.

When they basically said after the well was when he did it, yes to me that means they have been building to it seasons in the making. And the thing is even if you said well they revealed the will for Bucks self worth.. Sorry but that didn't actually solve anything for Bucks mental health in S5.

I don't know if what I am saying makes sense probably but my point is it's all deliberate and we know everything eventually means something more later with Buddie.

And again slow burn couples are written very differently then right away or already Canon couples. You have an arc planned to get there. Details can change but there is an arc already in your head. Hence why Taylor and Anna were seasons in the making, representing 2 sides of a coin and both doomed to fail.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. But please when they are Canon give me an episode of Buddie and Maddie visiting the whole family in TX!!!

Hi Nonnie! Thank you for this ask!

This is so true. Especially if you consider that in 315, Eddie doesn’t object to his parents wanting to raise Chris because they’d be bad at it, he wants to step up as a dad. And he still has a moment where it looks like he considers his parents’ words when he steps outside and talks to Chris, trying to figure out what’s best for his son. So if he and his dad have reconciled and his dad would now actively work on getting better? Especially when Eddie’s sisters were ALWAYS there, they would have always been a more natural choice for legal guardians than his older parents, and when he said that other than his dad, his family was okay, there shouldn’t have been any reason to bring Buck in on it to begin with. And yet. AND YET. My God, Nonnie. These two ridiculously in love morons make me wanna scream!

I def also agree with you that everything was intentional from the start. I’m not 100% convinced Buddie was always set up as a slow burn, but I do think they always wanted to have the possibility of allowing Buddie to become canon, so yes, I do think everything was very deliberate starting with that ridiculous introduction of Eddie through Buck’s eyes in what is the classic introduction of someone’s Love Interest. And the more they keep holding on to that option with Buddie, the more I’m convinced that sooner or later, it will materialize. (Here I’d also add that Buddie aren’t the only eventually-canon slow burn romance set up from the start to have that option, but that was still being discussed along the way on whether to let it happen or not)

I also agree with you on Ana and Taylor, they were never going to work out and it was evident from the get go with both. The show could have invested in them, at times it tried to look like it was, but it never truly did, it never developed them as actual characters in their own right. Think of Karen and how she’s a real, fleshed out character even though she’s a part of the 911 verse by virtue of being Karen’s wife. But she’s more than that! She also cares about Chim, she has her own struggles where we see Hen supporting her, not the other way around, she makes her own contributions to moving arcs along. That’s never really been either Ana or Taylor. For example, the only interactions Taylor has with the extended firefam outside of Buck end up showing her in a mostly negative way (Bobby and Athena in 206, Lou in 507).

In conclusion, I agree, and also yes to that! In fact, give me ALL of the extended Buckley-Diaz family interactions, I want to see them all and I wanna see Buddie being the super couple they were always destined to be throughout all of these interactions! Thank you again, Nonnie! xoxox

(I got an influx of asks, I WILL answer all of them, but it might take a sec. If anyone wants to check whether I've already answered theirs or to read my replies, here's my ask tag. Thank you! xoxox)
