#mischaracterization for the sake of a shitty plot is not one of those things

i started watching when the season premiered on abc and then went back and binged and honestly i do not understand the discourse 😭 like the writing is on the wall and its in bold font and italicized at this point. i get the feeling some new viewers just wanna see two hot white guys kiss instead of watching an actual heartfelt love story come to fruition after several years of slow burn (not me though) and thats…. several things i could name that i dont want you to get hate in your inbox for 🙈

like they panned to eddie when buck got his medal last episode when everyone else got their romantic partners. the director of photography even commented on it on twitter 😭 whats not clicking

And this comment wasn’t even about Buddie endgame of it all.

I somehow ended up on 911tiktok and saw thee most asinine take from a user take that Buck will somehow get mad at Eddie over the Kim/Shannon thing, stop speaking to him and just ice him out for the entire episode before Tommy convinces him to reach out, only for Buck to show up at the Diaz house and see that Eddie’s made an attempt on his life (followed by some very crass comments about Ryan and his own mental health journey but that’s a topic for another rant) and I couldn’t believe I listened to three minutes of that bullshit.

And it’s also…NOWHERE NEAR THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY. Buck is like incapable of being mad at Eddie. He is physically incapable of staying away from Eddie when he thinks Eddie needs help. This is the same man who took it upon himself to hire Carla for Chris and Eddie despite knowing them for all of 3 minutes. The same man who tried to dig Eddie out of a trapped well by hand in the middle of a rainstorm. The man who risked his own life to save Eddie after the sniper attack and stayed with Chris the entire time he was in the hospital. The man who pestered and mother hen’d Eddie for an entire episode when he found out Eddie saw a cardiologist. The man who broke down a door to get to Eddie when Eddie was in the middle of his breakdown. Buck has been with Eddie when he was at his lowest, physically and mentally. And if you don’t like Buddie and ship BT, that’s your business, but you simply cannot play obtuse on the internet and act like Buck isn’t going to be anything other than Eddie’s supportive best friend. It’s just a lie.
