#if I had a nickel for everytime an ex soldier with a kid and a complicated ex fell in love with their coworker and pretended they’re just

[mazzystar24]

If you guys know my blog by now you’ll know that I will latch onto random shows/movies like a leech and will sometimes connect them for funsies in my brain

So

I still don’t know what bones/booths ship name is so ignore that but I’ve just (I’m on like last ep of season 2 ) started watching bones and I can’t stop with the buddie parallels in my brain

1. Ex soldier (Eddie for 911 and booth for bones)

2.with a complicated relationship with his ex

3. who at one point slept with her repeatedly after they’d broke up

4. who he also shares a kid with

5. Not confirmed in canon outright but definitely implied neurodivergent character (buck, who definitely has ADHD and Temperance Brennan who’s definitely autistic)

6. Neither of whom understand most pop culture references

7. Both of which are constantly given lectures by friends about how they run head first into danger

8. Both of which also know a lot of random facts (granted with bones it’s more purpose serving😭😭)

9. Also both were lied to by their parents their entire lives and said parents forced an older sibling who at the time was still only a child to promise not to tell them anything about this secret

10. Both have abandonment issues as a result of that

11. This parallel I pointed out before in their respective hospital scenes and them wishing it was them instead

12. Booth digging Bones out with his bare hands when she was buried alive and buck trying to dig Eddie out of the mud when he was buried alive

13. Both Bones and Buck having a love interest leave to travel the world

14. Both ships are like workplace romance, slightly enemies- mostly a spat- to friends to lovers (for one at least is canon), also the same vibes of both are coworkers and “partners” who act not how normal work partners or friends act (and get called on it by outsiders)

There are probably more but I’m tired and can’t think but yeah so many parallels and yet only one is canon😔 collecting this as evidence that if one side of buddie were female making the ship heterosexual then they’d have been canon ages ago
