#may and buck

[kedreeva]

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.

Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.

and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

Need a 911 fic where Buck hits his head and is disoriented and confused when he wakes up. He thinks him and Eddie are dating.

Not because he has an amnesia or anything, but because Ravi was the one helping jog his memory and nothing Ravi knows about the 118 is right.

I want it [Buck's next relationship] to feel fun, flirty, and lived in throughout its, assuming it's a long-term thing, domestication. I just want it to feel like a good time. – OLIVER STARK

We gotta figure something out with Eddie. But I think the next relationship should be something life-changing that it just throws him off for a loop. – RYAN GUZMAN

EVAN BUCKLEY AND EDDIE DIAZ THROUGH THE SEASONS

9-1-1 on FOX / ABC (2018 – ...)

[cinematics123]

Estate Executor: Thank you all for coming here today. We shall now read the last will and testament of Robert Wade Grant-Nash. He leaves all of his earthly property to his wife, Athena Grant, with the following exceptions:

I, Robert Grant-Nash, leave my father’s baseball glove to Harry Grant;

I, Robert Grant-Nash, leave my ice skating equipment, gear, and outfit & sequin repair gun to May Grant;

I, Robert Grant-Nash, leave my son Evan ‘Buck’ Buckley in the care of Edmundo Diaz, to have and to hold in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live. Don’t make me come back down to knock some sense into the two of you.

Everyone: (Gasps)

Buck: what does that mean?

Maddie & Tommy (in unison): I knew it!

Eddie: How does he get to one-up my own will reveal???!

Bobby: (staggering through the door cover in Mud and Fresh Dirt): Don’t read the will! There’s some Gay stuff in there…

Everyone: Bobby????! You’re alive?

[thebuckandeddiething]

you killed the second chance at happiness of a horrifically traumatized woman that fought so hard for both of their lives (Athena)

you killed the pseudo father of a man that everyone leaves and who can't rely on his family despite his parents being alive (Buck)

you killed the best friend of a man who's going to blame himself for the rest of his life every time he thinks of him (Chim)

you killed a step dad of a girl that recognized him as her second dad that saved her and her mom's life multiple times (May)

you killed a support system of a deeply repressed man that could and always did turn to him for advice and help (Eddie)

you killed a beloved superior and friend for a woman that finally got all the recognition she deserved working under him (Hen)

and in an of itself you killed the actively suicidal character that even tho he took all the "right" steps to an actual happy ending he always wanted and made him the ultimate (unnecessary) sacrifice for everyone else.

Bobby’s kids

just a little plot bunny i had to get out

“Coming!” Buck called as he walked towards the front door. He swung it open to find May and Harry Grant standing on his porch. “Um, hi?”

“Good, you’re home!” May said, handing him two duffle bags.

Buck took them automatically. “What are these?”

“Harry’s bags,” May said, stepping into the front hallways and pulling Harry behind her. “You have a guest room now, right?”

“Yes?” Buck trailed after the two Grants. “Uh, what’s happening here?”

“Mom’s staying with me while she looks for a new place, so Harry’s staying with you,” May said.

Harry turned around to look at Buck. “Sorry, she said she had a friend I could stay with. I thought you knew we were coming.”

“I’m still confused,” Buck said, leading them down the hall to the guest room — he wasn’t going to leave Harry out in the cold, even if he had no idea why they were there. “I mean, don’t your grandparents live nearby?”

“They still give me a curfew,” Harry said, taking his bags from Buck and depositing them on the guest room bed.

“And I’m what, going to let you ‘party hard’?” Buck looked at him flatly. “Have you met your mom? She’d kill me.”

“Oh, she'd kill me too,” Harry agreed. “But I’m thinking your curfew might be later than nine o’clock.”

“Nine thirty,” Buck agreed. The Grant kids stared at him. “What? At your age you should be getting eight hours of sleep. So that’s, what, bed by ten or eleven depending when you wake up for school?”

May laughed at him. “If you can make that happen Mom’s going to make you keep him.”

“I don’t know if that’s supposed to be a threat or some kind of incentive.” Buck mused.

“You’re not actually going to make me go to bed then, are you?” Harry asked.

“Harry, put your clothes away while I talk to Buck,” May ordered, ignoring his question. She headed back towards the front door and Buck followed her.

“Great, now she’s bossing both of us around,” Buck heard Harry say from the guest room.

‘Thank you,” May said when they got to the front door. “My apartment was not meant for three adults — well, two adults and an almost adult.”

“May, um,” Buck lowered his voice, “are you sure your mom will be okay with this? She doesn’t actually like me that much.”

May reached up to put her hands on Buck’s shoulders. “My mom likes you a lot more than she’d ever say. She’ll be happy Bobby’s boys are taking care of each other.”

“May,” Buck protested.

May looked like she was fighting the urge to roll her eyes. “Anyone who knew you two longer than five minutes knew that. Don’t say you’re not, it would make him sad.”

She broke the moment by pulling an envelope out of her purse and handing it to him. “Grocery money. He’s a garbage disposal.”

“No, I can’t take your money,” Buck said, trying to hand it back to her.

“It’s not mine, it’s from Mom.”

“Does Athena — does your mom know that you’re giving me this?”

May shrugged. “She will.”

“May! I can't take money stolen from a police sergeant.”

May did roll her eyes this time. “I borrowed money from my mom so you can feed her son. No cops involved.”

“I will keep the receipts and give you back the change,” Buck promised.

“Garbage disposal,” May reminded him. “There won’t be change. But keep the receipts, we’ll pay you back.” She held out her hand. “Phone please.”

Buck handed it over and watched as May added in her and Harry’s numbers. “I already have Ath— your mom’s,” he told her.

“Perfect,” she handed it back after she had sent herself a text from his phone. “He makes really good waffles, by the way, but he kind of sucks at dinner food.”

“Hey!” Harry protested, having reemerged from the guest room.

May pulled him into a hug. Buck had a brief flash of Maddie hugging him the same way, pulling him down and squeezing him just on the edge of too tight. May released her brother and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“Bye!” May said brightly, waving to Buck as she breezed out of his house.

Buck waited until her car left the driveway. “Alright, let’s go,” he said to Harry.

“Where are we going?” Harry asked curiously, following Buck as he grabbed his grabbed his keys and headed out the door.

“I gave my spares to Maddie and Ravi, we need to get a new key cut for you,” Buck explained. “And maybe tacos. You like tacos?”

Tonight's episode really highlighted how Buck and Eddie actually have a very conditional and somewhat one-sided friendship, something that deeply contrasts the romantic relationship between Buck and Tommy. Because despite the latter couples woes, they have shown time and time again the unconditional and pure love they are capable of sharing together, which will only be amplified once they work through their current shortcomings as a couple.

Buck and Eddie;

While Evan Buckley has so often offered Eddie — and many others, to be clear — his unconditional love and support, he has also embarked on an endless journey of self-reflection. He may not be perfect and he has no doubt made some pretty significant mistakes throughout the show, but what he is is someone who is capable of looking inward, learning, and doing his best to improve, even if the process is sometimes messy or slow and too little too late. No, Buck isn't perfect, but by god, he's continuously evolving and maturing.

(I'm sorry, but Evan Buckley is very much not the one who has been stuck on the hamster wheel like so many in fandom love to claim. That lovely "honor" would actually go to Eddie Diaz.)

Buck also has a lot of love in his heart, to the point where it sometimes overwhelms and leads him astray. But even so, his intentions are almost always pure and connected to the important people in his life. In summation, his heart and the love cast from it is extremely unconditional and wrapped within a casing of overwhelming loyalty and selflessness, some missteps aside.

Eddie Diaz, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. He'll love Buck — and other people, to be clear — but with a condition, one that is so often unspoken, but always lurking beneath the surface. With Eddie and conflict — be it his own or belonging to others simply seeking his guidance and support — there always seems to be this line drawn in the sand, a line representing what Eddie is and is not willing to put up with. And once you cross that line, he'll have very little patience or consideration for you and your feelings. It will show through not just overt or passive aggression, but also unapologetic projection.

The way he came at Buck in tonight's episode is a glaring representation of this:

It's easier for Eddie Diaz to look at everything as black and white, especially when it's convenient for his narrative, than it is to partake in self-reflection pertaining to his personal grief and struggles. It's easier to put the blame on his best friend, rather than acknowledge how he is not processing his own grief very well at all. It is easier to accuse his best friend, who is clearly hurting and crying out for help, that he's being selfish, than to make any attempt at taking on the pain of others while also grappling with his own. It is easier for him to fly his son back to LA to distract his best friend, than it is to take any semblance of accountability for his recent actions and actually fucking apologize. (Hoping this ages poorly because he apologizes in the finale.) It is so much easier to accuse his best friend of making everything about himself, than to acknowledge that, in this moment, he's actually the one doing so. It is easier for Eddie to grab Buck, corner him, and generally physically intimidate him, than it is to actually hear Buck out and understand his reasoning and perspective. Because... God forbid, he has his often black and white ideologies — and the emotions rooted in them — challenged. It's easier for Eddie Diaz to keep repeating the same mistakes in his life, than it is to actually work on his issues and truly evolve, even if those mistakes trickle down to the people around him, including his own son.

In summation, if Buck and Eddie were actually canonically together, I would be praying that the writers were setting up a season finale breakup, so that Buck can move on with his life and find someone who won't minimize his feelings to highlight their own, all while using physical aggression to intimidate and shut him down, or use their son to manipulate him into forgetting about what happened. Because whether the writers intend to follow up on this or not, or do or do not recognize the severity of Eddie's actions, I know what bullshit I witnessed unfold on my screen tonight.

Buck and Tommy;

I'll just be blunt here because this post is already in danger of getting too long...

Tommy Kinard would never pull the type of shit Eddie Diaz just did. Tommy may have some issues of his own that he needs to address — including his own tendency to project onto others, in addition to running away versus talking shit out. But had he been the one with Buck tonight, he would have never minimized the pain Buck was experiencing just to elevate his own, nor would he have grabbed and cornered Buck to maximize the severity of his pain and anger.

At "worst", Tommy would have gently reminded Buck to remember that people are grieving in their own way, similar to how Maddie handled Chimney, or Karen handled Athena, in the very same episode. And he would have done so, all while still considering and prioritizing Buck's feelings. And at best, Tommy would have asked Buck how he could best be there for him, because that's the type of person Tommy is. And to give Buck his own credit, he would have apologized if Tommy expressed needing more support and consideration, and then followed through after said apology. And Tommy would have been completely receptive of this and worked with Buck to ensure that both of them received the emotional support and consideration they both need. Because, ultimately, they are both mature and emotionally loving and supportive individuals — again, some missteps aside. While Eddie Diaz, sorry — but not sorry — has shown he just isn't. Not yet, at least. Buck and Tommy have shown they're capable of being a true partnership in all the ways that matter, while Eddie has made his friendship with Buck incredibly one-sided.

(Man, Buck. I am honestly proud of the man you've evolved into. You've come a long way, despite some in this fandom pretending you haven't and gleefully waiting for you to crash and burn more than your loved ones and other colleagues whenever a challenging situation occurs.)

While Eddie is quick to make Buck feel like he and his problems are "too much" to take on, Tommy would be mortified if he ever did the same, much less more than once.

I'm so glad Buck will have Tommy back in his corner soon, whether it be in the finale or sometime during 9A, because Tommy is the person Buck so clearly needs in his life right now. Buck needs someone who is going to reciprocate everything he is so eager to offer, and Tommy so clearly needs and is willing to do the same.

[brat-buck]

I’m just all up in my feels today but. The thing that makes me so feral about bucktommy is the Tommy of it all. Tommy Kinard, who most likely has never been treated like something precious and important, treats his boyfriend with the utmost care. He was shown to be loving, doting, careful. Where most people would look at Buck and go, eh, he’s Buck, he’ll bounce back. Tommy looked at him after listening to Buck talk about Bobby and how scared he was and immediately said, “are you okay?” Tommy got home and listened to Buck’s hare brained idea to hold a funeral for a dead outlaw and said, “Okay.” Tommy loves Buck for Evan, and that’s why I’ll just never really be over it. All of those behaviours that other people deem flaws, the way Buck is reckless and impulsive and sometimes childish and a brat and silly and argumentative. They’re all things Tommy cherishes and loves. They’re all the things Tommy wants because it’s Evan and nothing about Evan could possibly be bad. Tommy has never asked Buck to be more or less than he already is.

This is why I want him back.
