#how 8B will go

[buddieisgoingcanon25]

So I think I have a theory (or just what I would like to see) of how 8b might play out 🤭

Tim mentioned Buck maybe getting into a short term relationship because of his abandonment issues but made it clear that it won’t last.

However, to actually break Buck’s cycle this is either going to have to mean that Buck or the other person finally click onto what Buck always does.

So my theory: maybe Eddie can’t sell the house before heading to Texas so he decides to just rent in El Paso and asks Buck to try and manage getting the house sold or rented out. Maybe Buck moves in claiming it’s ‘easier’ and always ignores the realtor and finds excuses for not being able to meet or set up viewings.

Then in true 911 fashion I think the person Bucks gets with will be tied to Maddie’s kidnapping.

Maybe Buck will have invited them over to Eddie’s and once realising they’re to blame, Buck has a moment of ‘jumping into things hurts me and this time it’s hurt my family so it has to stop’ (I also think since the person will only be getting close to Buck strategically that we may get hints of this person getting Buck to realise his obsession with his best friend is pretty romantic)

I also have a theory that they’ll go down the route of ‘I don’t need a relationship as long as I have you and Chris’ with Eddie and that his sexuality arc will actually be about in choosing joy he realises that he wants what he currently has but romantically.

I think we might get a Buck and Eddie who are swearing off relationships for now but become more and more codependent until one or both of them have their ‘oh’ moment.

All this to say, if anyone wants to write this as a fic instead please do and drop me the link too😅😍

Oh I like your theory anon. I’ll take anything at this point. Now we have 3 months to speculate.

eddie diaz is truly a better person than i could ever be, because if my parents parentified me when i was a child and i was expected to step up and be the "man of the house" at age 10 or whatever that bs was, and then when i had my ACTUAL child whom i am ACTUALLY responsible for and am raising (something that i WANT to do and LOVE doing because hey, i LOVE my kid), and my parents where then like "you have no idea what you're doing. we should raise your kid. how could you think that you could ever do this" el paso simply would no longer exist. it would be burned off the map from the rage of it all. it would be fucking nuclear. if season 8b isn't just eddie eviscerating his parents for 10 episodes straight, then what's the point of it all? just to suffer??

anyways. good night to everyone except to ramon and helena diaz. you two are always welcome to go fuck yourself.

I think it's @osh-my-prince who's talked about Minear starting with the result he wants and working backwards, right? well, here it is (this has probably made the rounds already but it's good to have the reminder, I think):

(and then here he talks about the network advertising the beenado and not the plane emergency because of an 'unspoken rule' not to advertise these as entertainment in September, and how the scene that explains the end of the beenado got cut for time)

I can't stop thinking about the episodes once eddie has left and we get at-home-buck scenes with maddie but they are in EDDIES HOUSE like what do you mean we might get buck confessing to maddie that he's in love with eddie while in his HOUSE !!!

I find it so fascinating that Buck was willing to give up his flat (read: independence and what was his new-beginning) to move into Eddie’s place so Eddie can leave him. We know Buck struggles with the idea of Eddie leaving because he sees it as him getting abandoned again.

Buck go-to move is asking his partners to move in with him to ‘save’ the relationships or to progress and make ‘em stronger. To welcome ppl into his space, a space that represents his independence and growth. And he sees it as these large declarations of love because he’s making space for ppl in a place that is his, and what is love if not sharing, co-existing with another.

On a subconscious level he wants to make a home, and to be more specific he wants to make a home for himself. That’s why he was so adamant on Abby and lived in her flat longer than needed, because it was the first time a place and ppl started to feel like what he knew home was supposed to feel like. It’s a place where u have roots and history, and for someone who has nowhere else to fall back on it makes sense to linger in the area hoping he could feel it once more, despite everyone else around him knowing she’s not coming back.

And so now yh he’s a bit more intentional but that doesn’t mean he’s fully self aware. He still ends up in these relationships, just going with the flow and he reaches a point where he get scared. Be it for what ever reason, confrontation or miscommunication and he freezes cuz this isn’t what he wants and it isn’t how it has been. The relationship prior was ‘easier’ and yes he might communicate and try to solve the problem at hand. But instead of recognising that relationships should feel easy but will always have ‘problems’ that require constant communication he wants to solve the relationship so nothing bad can happen again. And he slaps on that ‘move in’ band-it cuz why would anyone want to leave a loving home(relationship), he wouldn’t. Buck would not leave the people he loved, he doesn’t know what that means. But that doesn’t work because most ppl didn’t grow up in a house walking on egg-shells, never quite learning how to self-regulate. (Obviously looks different for different people.) And for Buck that meant chasing ‘love’ ‘affection’ or ‘intimacy’ in whatever way he could. Even when it’s not ideal, or truly benefits him, because he believes any type of love can fix him, and not just the right type.

But this time Buck is willing to do quite the opposite, instead of inviting someone in again (which is hard and vulnerable) he’s opening up old wound, and putting himself out there by moving into someone else’s space (something new and hard, that goes against his instincts/typical routine). And this time he’s not guaranteed the home, half the home is in Texas, and the other half is joining him.

And I can’t wait to see this play out and see Buck once again struggle with having a house but not a home.

watching my mom's journey from being part of the GA to a full buddie truther who wants to know the bts tea has been truly fascinating and fantastic for me personally lmao so i just wanted to share some highlights

before 7x4 my mom simply never even mentioned anything remotely hinting at seeing buddie's potential or any queer coding. she did predict that eddie made buck chris' godfather though and i guess thought that was normal behavior idk

during 7x4 however, she kept on remarking on buck being jealous of eddie spending time with someone else. but when tmmy kissed buck, she gasped cause she fully expected buck to not be into it

after that episode she started to think out loud and said "well lately, i have been wondering if buck might like men.... because of how he is around eddie...."

she quickly came to the conclusion that tmmy and buck had zero chemistry, unlike buck and eddie, and she said it was a shame they didn't cast someone else for the role of buck's bisexual awakening lmao

for the longest time she couldn't really see eddie's side of it. but then! 8x6/8x9/8x10 happened. and where she first had said "this is a reeeaaaally slow burn, if they are gonna go there", she changed her tune and said "they are really ramping it up, it's so clear that they are building up that relationship."

Maybe i'm the only one thinking that i get why Eddie wasn’t in this big emergency call because Tim said in a interview the 8a was to see the 118 team being together while 8b to break them apart and it shows.

First Eddie going away and Buck being miserable without him, especially when he talks with Ravi.

Second Chimney with the virus and Hen in the verge of dying.

Third Bobby with the funeral and premussed dead which we don’t know how yet.

However, I don't understand this choice from Tim since he could end up with something more about Eddie/Chris storylines which the only thing i'm still not satisfied it's the fact they didn’t address the Kim situation at all but maybe since we had 4 episode left and Chris is living with his dad again I hope they will but if it’s about Buck i think they will rush it as they did with Eddie parents storyline. Even though for the gay Eddie arc they were going with something with the kid being a cheerleader parallel with Eddie being a ballroom dancer (aka a past way to tell a man was gay) and him not choosing joy/juice which is Buck as Ryan said in the past interviews, instead of pain (finding a mom for Chris).

But i don't know if he will chose to come back for Buck and then later understand what this means for him or if Temu is there to make Eddie and Buck being together or with just a feeling realization they will both have as Buck already is going trough from 8x11 when it denies to have feelings for Eddie just because he thinks he's straight.

If anyone is like me and wants a good, cleansing emotional Buddie sucker punch cry after that bts…you can listen to “If You’re Meant to Come Back” by Justin Jesso and think abt it playing over Buck and Eddie saying goodbye and Buck watching Eddie leave with his U-Haul

[tommygotwrittenoff]

buck buckley is gonna throw himself around on calls in 8b, not because he's crashing out, but because he always throws himself around. except now eddie's not there to catch him.

[saras-almanac]

Gonna fuck around and write a season 8 rewrite that actually develops everything we thought they were going to focus on… cause the wasted potential is actually killing me…

[4giorno]
