#i totally hear what everyone is saying about the importance of queer guy/straight guy friendship rep#and the way society emotionally isolates men and discourages them from/punishes them for having emotionally intimate friendships with other#with other men. but also. this is not the buck and eddie show. and we have SEEN that on 911. we’ve seen close intimate male friendships#provide unconditional support through crises. we’ve seen chimney do it more times than i can count#(notably through bobby’s suicidality and buck learning about daniel)#we’ve seen buck and chimney through madney’s ppd (whether or not that support was perfect!!!)#we’ve seen michael and bobby through michael’s diagnosis and them finding a balance in raising the kids#we’ve seen eddie and bobby support each other as each other’s mirrors#idk i know this is the shipping website but sometimes i see people talk about this being why they don’t want canon buddie anymore and#it’s not that i am a buddie-or-bust guy (bc im a pessimist) but. it feels sometimes like we’re undervaluing the other male characters#and THEIR friendships and the ways THEY have supported each other#and the ways THEY have combatted toxic masculinity and patriarchy#anyway.
