one little situation I'd love to see would be nothing really happening between Buck & Eddie through the bachelor party sequence, sure handsy as what we've seen in promos, but that can be platonic affection.

BUT after the wedding, Buck is in bed going through the camera roll on his phone from the night before. random blurry photos, videos of karaoke, towards the end they're doing little video shout outs to Maddie and Chimney.

the night goes later and later until it's only Buck and Eddie left. at the end of a recording, Buck says he has to go to the bathroom & hands Eddie the phone. they're both drunk as all get out, so Eddie says something to the bride and groom, but once Buck shuts the door Eddie then hits the stop and start button, starting a new video.

Buck swipes to the next one.

"Buck, this one is for you, you handsome man. you are my best friend, my partner in crime, and I'm so proud of you for coming out. I love you man."

and Eddie keeps rambling, singing praises, referencing key events in their friendship, how much Christopher loves him, and then says way too casually, "seriously Buck, I'm so in love with you."

then Eddie's face drops, because he said not just I love you in a friend way but I'm so in love with you. committed. romantic.

"gotta delete that one," Eddie says looking obviously flustered.

But then Buck re-enters the room, yelling in jubilation "Eddieeeeeeee!". Buck slams down next to him on the hotel couch, his body weight causing Eddie to shift against him, and Eddie has the faintest smile, as if just their shoulders brushing causes him to blush.

Eddie hits the end record button, and the video stops. he forgot to delete it.

and then there is Buck, just staring at his phone, what the fuck? was that some drunken pointless rant, or did his best friend just admit he's in love with him?

Tommy steps into the room from the bathroom, shirtless looking sexy as hell, but Buck's guts twist. not from the beautiful man in front of him though, but being told he's loved by someone who he never knew could love him like that.

It’s interesting this anon seems to be confused how buck Tommy people are being told they are fetishizing things, because all I keep seeing is Buck Tommy endgamers posting how hot they are. How they want to see them kiss over and over and over. How they keep going and watching the one kiss they did have for the 40th time in a row. Or I see them ranting and raving how Tommy’s so nice and patient with Buck. (which that’s called being a decent human being??) but I’d like to know what they considering his behavior when he made a very pointed comment about closets in front of Eddie and Marisol? Knowing full well Buck wasn’t out to anyone? Or when he just got in an Uber and left Buck there without communicating fully? And never actually apologized to him for it? Just a I didn’t want you to feel pressured. Which again A) communicate that before leaving him in front of a restaurant, and B) How was any of his reaction meant to not make him feel pressured. And not to excuse Buck because his reaction was not good at all during that date but ✨he apologized✨

But the people on the buddie side are posting how they want buddie, the relationship they have seen for 6 years be built from the ground up, the way their foundation has been solidified, the way they are each others best friend, their person, the way they love each other, the way they co parent Chris, the way they are there for each other like no one else, the way it’s been nurtured, the people who want this and to not just settle, because that’s exactly what it would be. Oh we got bi Buck confirmed let’s just settle for the first random person he comes across. Which is insane to me that people are actually ok with. Like He’s been on 1 bad date with Tommy. He’s kissed him once. And he’s known him for, per the show, 2 weeks. 2 weeks vs 6 years of blood, sweat, tears, love, vulnerability, emotional connection, chemistry, family building, trust.

this ate anon, thank you!

the 2 weeks vs 6 years really helps to put things into perspective and i'm glad people like u can see where i'm coming from instead of just screaming at me that i'm being insecure about my ship (what? are we 10 year olds?) and/or being a bucktommy hater and not letting people enjoy things (idk how many more times i'm gonna have to repeat that i hope nothing but the best for bucktommy)

i 100% support the bi rep and everything bucktommy bc its fucking adorable and buck deserves to be pursued, to be flustered and be on the receiving end instead of giving all the time. but let's keep our eye on the ball please? let's not settle for something just bc it's canon or bc it's enough. let's take a moment to reflect deeply about why we want to give so much support to a ship we've known for a grand total of 4 episodes and want an endgame for them when we barely know tommy (and a good part of what we know is alr quite controversial to begin with.)
