#ryan and oliver genuinely have so much chemistry. impossible to replicate

I know this has probably already been pointed out a lot, but I’m still relatively new to the fandom and I haven’t personally seen anyone talk about it, so forgive me if this is repetitive.

Every other main character has found their permanent love interest EXCEPT for Buck and Eddie.

Chim + Maddie, Bobby + Athena, Hen + Karen.

Buck & Eddie’s lack of permanent partners that are well developed…seems a little bit intentional to me. I know it’s probably not, but it’s hard to see it any other way.

At this point, I don’t even think a well-written love interest for either Buck or Eddie would compare to the slow-burn potential of Buddie…And this is coming from someone who got to binge the show in a month, not watch it episode by episode for YEARS.

I know that technically both are in relationships as of present, but I’m almost 100% certain Eddie won’t be for much longer. His relationship with Marisol was never going to last long-term anyway, regardless of the cheating storyline. Buck and Tommy? I don’t see them working out long-term either. ‘Buck, Bothered, and Bewildered’ fully convinced me that Buck has misplaced his feelings for Eddie onto Tommy (the workout scene while Eddie is on the phone… you’re telling me he wanted TOMMY’S attention there? Tommy wasn’t even there! Plus the little quip by Maddie about Eddie’s plans being ‘circled’ with a heart). Anyway, my point is that I don’t think either of their relationships will work out long term. but

EVEN if they did, neither relationship would be as satisfying as Buddie. Buck and Eddie have BEEN THERE for each other for yearsssss, caring for each other, coparenting, generally having each other’s backs.

Even introducing a new, well-written love interest with stories outside of being a love interest and a compelling narrative would still not be good enough for either.

Just some silly Saturday thoughts, I guess.
