Buck, Eddie, Love Interests & Vulnerability

So I noticed something interesting while I was watching a romcom with my friend tonight and I wanted to share my thoughts.

I remembered that in writing romance, whether for screen or in written format, one of the fundamental keys to making your characters establish a deep relationship is to have them share vulnerable moments.

Why is it important for two characters to be mutually vulnerable to develop a romance? Because if your potential partner is not able to see the most vulnerable parts of yourself and love you for it even more, then that's not the partner for you. Most of us are aware of this, and that's why those moments in any romance where two characters open up and let each other in are extremely important.

Now I want to talk about Buck and Eddie's relationships with their various LI's (hopefully as briefly as I can) and analyze the relationships and the audience's reception to them.

With Buck, his relationship with Abby, love it or hate it, definitely included many vulnerable moments with the two of them opening up to each other. Buck felt like Abby could see him, and he was able to be vulnerable with her about how he felt. Abby was very open about her struggles with her mom. This bonded them together quickly and allowed the audience to at least understand why they were into each other if nothing else. I still believe Buck's relationship with Abby was the strongest of his female love interests in the show (even despite all the faults).

With Ali, the only time we see Buck be vulnerable is right after the truck explosion, and instead of that vulnerability being accepted, it is rejected by Ali, hence why their relationship does not continue.

With Taylor....this relationship was lopsided. Taylor managed to open up to Buck during the pandemic episodes, and about her past, and Buck accepted her and supported her, but the same could not be said vice versa. With the exception of the scene where Taylor tries to help Buck after Eddie is shot (and even that has him rejecting her and her insisting but I digress), when Buck opened up about things, his insecurities, etc, they were almost always met with skepticism, mockery, and even exasperation, even though she was no longer outwardly cruel. Buck made a lot of mistakes in their relationship too, but all of this (in my personal opinion) was done because he knew, subconsciously, that he and Taylor were not fully connecting on the emotional level they both needed, and that led to their ultimate breakup.

With Natalia, the girl wasn't comfortable with any part of Buck's life, and I don't think either of them really shared any truly vulnerable moments at all. Even though they were talking a lot about Buck's death. I think at first, Buck misunderstood Natalia's interest in his death as acceptance of his vulnerabilities (exactly what he was missing in his last relationship with Taylor) but in the end, he realized that once again, they were not connecting the way they needed to, and he ended it.

Now, I'm going to shift to Eddie because he's interesting. The first relationship we see him in is with Shannon. We see moments between the two of them where Shannon is able to open up about her vulnerabilities with Eddie...but (in my opinion) I don't know if Eddie was ever able to truly accept them, as evidenced by him being "unable to trust her" even after he's already begun sleeping with her. In contrast, I don't think we ever really see Eddie open up to her, not really, not even during the very last time they have dinner together. His speech to Shannon is less about him being open and honest with his vulnerabilities, but more so a promise to stifle his worries about their relationship, his fears about what she could do to Chris (and Eddie) emotionally, to fall back into the comfortable nuclear family they'd made, to keep his issues to himself all in the pursuit of "making it right" with her. In Eddie Begins, we also see that when Shannon tries to make vulnerable connections with Eddie they are shut down, and when Eddie is given opportunities to open up to Shannon and let her in on how he's feeling, he denies them. I understand why some people find their relationship fascinating, but I think most people agree these two were never right for each other because Eddie and Shannon are never able to make the true, deep vulnerable connections necessary in order to really truly be there and accept and love each other as true forever partners.

Next, we have Ana. Good lord the only vulnerable conversation these two ever had on screen was their breakup. They have awkward dates where they talk about math, and when Ana tries to get Eddie to start talking about Shannon ie "I know there's not been anyone in his life since his mom" Eddie very promptly shuts down that convo. Later on, even after Eddie is shot, they still don't have any vulnerable conversations. Then, when Eddie has his panic attacks, still nothing. The only time Eddie is ever 100% honest with her is when they break up. And that's why literally no one watching had any investment in these two as a couple.

I want to spare a brief interlude for Felisa Valdez and Vanessa. I hypothesize a lot of the reason why people think Eddie "had chemistry" with these two was not just because they are all hot individuals or had any sort of special connection (let's be real they were all virtual strangers to each other). But there is one thing that sets both of them apart from Eddie's other two love interests. Felisa was able to be very open and honest with Eddie about why she stays in not-so-healthy friendships, and in turn, Eddie shared with her about the tsunami and Chris. They were able to connect through mutual vulnerability (even though it wasn't too deep on Eddie's end). Similarly, Vanessa is able to be open with Eddie about how she was hurt by her ex-fiance in the past and that she wants to protect her own feelings now. Eddie both admires her honesty and connects with her vulnerability (as it is a shared one even though Eddie doesn't tell her so onscreen). But because of that vulnerable moment, most of us actually really liked Vanessa and thought she and Eddie were cute.

Moving on to Marisol, it could be argued that Eddie sees Marisol in her most vulnerable moment (when she thinks her brother is gonna die), but that was not really a moment where Marisol chooses to be vulnerable with Eddie, he just happens to be there witnessing it. Then fast forward through the rest of the scenes they have in season 6, there are no moments of them being open and vulnerable with each other (and no I don't count the asking-out scene that was just awkwardness). Then we head into season 7, she's been in one scene, and that was all surface level too. In fact, the person that Eddie's being most vulnerable with in that same scene is Buck. For that reason, and external reasons related to the actress, most people are not interested in Eddie/Marisol at all.

Which brings me to my next and biggest point.

The person that Buck and Eddie have been able to share most of, if not all, their biggest vulnerability moments with is each other. Yes, Buck has vulnerable scenes with Maddie (but that's his sister), and both of them have vulnerable scenes with Bobby (but that's their father), but even those moments are outshined by just how deeply vulnerable Buck and Eddie are able to be with each other.

I could go on to list each and every moment Buck and Eddie have been vulnerable with each other and then found equal and reciprocated acceptance each and every time, but that's unnecessary because most of us already just flash-forwarded through all their scenes at light speed, so I don't need to tell you what you already know. But I think the sheer amount of times that Buck and Eddie have been vulnerable with each other in ways that are EXCLUSIVE to each other, is why a fuckton of us in this fandom are so down bad for them as a couple and will fight tooth and nail for them to get their happy ending together.

So, with that being said I'm interested to see where the rest of season 7 goes. Are we going to get some actual real moments of vulnerability between Eddie and Marisol (or Buck and *maybe* Tommy)? Or are they just going to remain surface level, never actually developing their relationship into anything worthwhile. And if what the endless amount of articles on Buddie keep saying is true, then it's Buck and Eddie who are going to keep being open and vulnerable with each other, getting closer, and seeing their relationship develop into new territory.

No because the sheer amount of ads on American TV is mental … and THEYRE SO FUCKING LONG TOO WTF

Eddie didn’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. 

As far as he was concerned, new year, same him. You don’t like it? Choke. 

He made no bones about telling people that, either. Every year when someone asked ‘So what’s your resolution?’ he was quick to launch into a rant about the pressures of society to improve and fit into being more ‘normal’. He’d sneer and whine until whoever was caught in the crosshairs was able to slink away. 

Enter Steve Harrington. 

Eddie was enamoured by Steve and all his superstitions. Steve never walked under a ladder, freaked out if he thought a mirror was broken, and even had a fake rabbit’s foot on his keys. Eddie caught himself counting a flock of magpies outside the trailer one day, trying to remember the dumb little rhyme Steve always rattled off when he waved to them. 

One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy....

Eddie thought he must be really down bad for Steve if he was entertaining the idea of some random birds telling the future. 

It was New Year’s Eve and Eddie was sitting in the Harrington living room with the rest of the party. He watched as Steve opened up some windows and placed lit a candle on the main windowsill. When he joined him at the window to ask about it, Eddie was surprised to learn that not only was it a superstition, but Steve was carrying on an old family tradition. Steve explained all about the origins of the candle, how it originally stood for hoping for a priest to visit to bless the house, and how it had morphed over time into being a welcoming light to bring the household into the new year. 

“I open up the front and back door at midnight too, let the old year out and the new one in, you know?”

Eddie didn’t know, he had never had any superstitions, but he nodded anyway.

“Plus getting it all set up gives me time to think over my resolution,” said Steve, looking out the window.

Eddie swallowed hard. His mouth opened to spew his usual spiel about resolutions, but he practically bit his tongue to stop himself. 

“I’m thinking about finding a new hobby this year,” Steve continued. “Maybe I should pick up a guitar, see if I can give you a run for your money,”

Steve’s soft smile made Eddie’s ears tingle.

“How about you, Eds?” asked Steve. “Any resolutions?”

Eddie’s eyes widened as he scrambled for a response. Fuck fuck fuck the one time he needed to think of one and he had nothing.

“Uh, actually, I uh, I was thinking about getting into teaching,” said Eddie, the gears in his head finally cranking up. “So I guess, you know, if you did want to learn to play, I uh, I could help,”

Eddie bit his lip and hoped Steve wouldn’t see right through him. 

Steve put his hands in his pockets and gently bumped his shoe off Eddie’s.

“I’d like that,” he said. 

And just like that, Eddie had his first ever new year’s resolution. He wasn’t even mad about it.

The Dogs, but they're actual dogs (+ Eddie and Joe)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🤍 Mr. White - Kangal

Pretty but also scary boy. Looks like an older man. It's the face, it has a Keitel face. Maybe if the dog was smaller it could've been perfect.

🧡 Mr. Orange - Canaan

I dunno?? It looks Freddy-ish. Skinny, orange and a resting worried face. Not really a cop dog but he's trying. Also thought about putting a Basenji.

🩷 Mr. Pink - German wirehaired pointer

DOG WITH A GOATEE??? Struggled not to put a Chihuahua here. Looks a bit serious idfk. He looks like he's about to say that he's a professional.

💛 Mr. Blonde - Thai Ridgeback

Edgy character - edgy dog. Ridiculously quiet but scary. Also same forehead. Could easily imagine this dog shooting the whole jewelry store down.

🤎 Mr. Brown - Bull terrier

Silly fucking dog. Met one of these, it's like the most worry-free, braindead thing I saw. Will die if you don't pay enough attention to him. Also a Madonna fan.

💙 Mr. Blue - Scottish deerhound

Grandpa dog, also very quiet. Hesitated before putting this. This dog is too pretty to be compared to Blue but like... which dog isn't?

👤 Nice Guy Eddie - Irish setter

Fancy-ass fucking dog. Curly ginger. I can hear this dog yelling at the rest to calm down until "daddy" comes back. I don't know, it just looks lost.

👤 Joe Cabot - American pit bull terrier

Edgy sonuvabitch. Didn't know what to put here, it just looks short and grumpy so why not (it's the non-existent neck). Kinda feel bad for the dog now.

The Nightmare Before Christmas but make it Steddie/Stranger Things

Eddie Munson the Pumpkin King, a man, well more creature than man; with long snake hair and an old pin stripe suit filled with his rotting flesh and bones.  

Eddie Munson the Pumpkin King, who loves what he does in Halloween Town, really he does! But.. there’s still something missing. 

Eddie Munson the Pumpkin King, who’s always been fascinated by even the smallest hints of something new, anything that speaks of the world outside of the borders of Halloween Town

Steve Harrington; one of the Top Hurler’s of St. Patrick’s Day Town, who was thrown into a series of strange happenings going on in the hinterlands with his friend Dustin Henderson one year and has sense become accustomed to traveling through the different holidays and the forest that surrounds them. 

Steve Harrington, who met his best friend Robin Buckley a girl who always danced in the St. Patrik’s day Parade, after one of his escapades in the hinterlands, who seemed to be fascinated by the Hinterlands and the holiday doors. 

Steve Harrington, who despite his rather unpleasant time spent dealing with  Mike, Max, and El from Halloween Town, still wonders what lies behind the door. Wonders who The Pumpkin King they spoke of is

Pt 2 coming soonish!

So far it’s just going to have info about Chrissy, Robin, Nancy, Jonathan, Argyle and possibly the younger/og party members

[corrodedcoughin]

Thinking about the Metallica cover of Whisky in the Jar & how much Eddie would love it…. (It’s no Thin Lizzy version but it’s Very Good)

ITS SLAPS you are RIGHT (but it’s still no thin lizzy). I feel like the cover is a gateway into exploring more thin lizzy for him, Rosalie gets added to some of his mixtapes I feel it in my bones.

Like he KNEW about thin Lizzy but didn’t give them /huge/ attention then the Metallica cover dropped and he started paying more attention? Which then maybe pulled him into Nazareth and Saxon?

Idk maybe MAYBE there’s a st Patrick day hour on the radio of Irish music and the Metallica cover comes on followed by thin Lizzy then the pogues and the undertones? And Eddie makes an Irish mixtape then dips into Scottish and eventually makes a ‘Celtic’ one and tries to claim Irish or Scottish or Celtic roots because he’d be one of those people even though he hasn’t had any direct descendants in over 100 years.

[brightloveee]

in honor of St Paddy’s day, Eddie very much looks like a boy who could be Irish and decides to kiss Steve
