I think there are subtextual elements that may lead one to believe Buck has deeper feelings for Eddie, and that would be such an interesting trope to explore, and it's so disappointing they haven't. However, I don't think it's been established, even in subtext, that Eddie feels anything more than platonic love towards Buck.

I don't think it's an impossible thing to write into the show, as Eddie is an extremely suppressed character, and it would be a rich character development if he broke out of his shell. But for that relationship to make sense, for them to be endgame, they would have to do an incredible job at actually writing it. I honestly feel like it's a complex path to build because it would not make sense to rush it. It would, in my humble opinion, require more than one season to get it right.

And also, it would make total sense if they keep things as they are, unfortunately. Is it less interesting? Absolutely. Does it also make sense that these two characters develop romantic feelings for each other? Also, yes. I don't think buddie fans are crazy at all.

All that being said, I don't think the fandom needs canon. As a post here said, the lack of canon makes for interesting fanon. It's sad, yes. But I believe the fans can and do make better content than Tim Minear.

crying because scorbus is a beautiful couple

It's so annoying that in fandom they can't understand that a play is different from a novel… I'm suffering Please try to read a few other plays in your life besides Cursed Child, at least you won't regret it when you die Or at least see some theater.

We don’t talk about Leia killing Jabba enough. Her grandmother and father were born into slavery. Her blood was that of the desert sand and the shackles of bondage. Leia was never more a Skywalker than the day she strangled her slave master with the very chains he used to bind her. The daughter of Anakin Skywalker was the one who killed Tatooine’s most notorious slaver, and I find that really beautiful.

I think that if 9-1-1 writers decide to embrace the buddie route, which I really hope they do, it'll be such a challenging but interesting opportunity. I feel like Buck has been attracted to Eddie since the beginning and he just has to process that information now knowing that he likes men. With Eddie, however, it is more tricky albeit more compelling from a writing standpoint, cause he's a character that is closed off, that's been living in a comp het autopilot (if we assume buddie is where this is all going to) and has to break all of that armor that's been traping him for his whole life. Now, breaking said armor is going to free him but it's also gonna cause a huge identity crisis and I think that'd be amazing to see. To have a character learn something that fundamentally changes how they view themselves (I could argue that Buck kinda knew he was attracted to guys, he just hadn't made the connection: likes guys and girls= bisexual) is such an amazing opportunity to make fucking great television.

James: Can you pass the salt?

Albus: Can YOU pass away?

Scorpius:

Lily: This is a normal dinner, don’t worry.

dear god Albus Potter do you utterly haunt my thoughts

Just… Albus in the cursed child, for as mixed as people seem to be on it… Albus as the certified middle child who doesn’t have the cloak, doesn’t have the map, who doesn’t even have a family name?

Can you imagine little Al (not yet Albus because that’s a name he truly goes by once he has Scorpius) tucking himself into the cracks of the door as he hears his parents talking, hears his dad say it would have been better to know they were having two boys so they could have just called him Sirius

Al, getting teased by his invisible brother, yet seeing so distinctly that his father chose James over him for their family legacy

Al, who grew up on the filtered advice of a distant, out of reach mentor who he could never live up to. Not like James with his fun, his humor, or Lily with her love and her girlhood.

(Albus, who will hear Cedric called the spare and understand far too well what it’s like to be of secondary importance)

Al, who out of all his siblings looks the most like his father, a reflection to every family friend of what harry went through and an eternal reminder to himself and the world that he will always be his father’s legacy (he will look in the mirror for most of his adult life and see his father before he sees himself)

Al, age 11, seeking comfort on the train platform as everything changes around him and getting another lecture about bravery that he doesn’t feel he has

Al becoming Albus on that train, when the boy who would become the most important person in his life actually asks him, asks him what he wants to be called

Albus, under the sorting hat, struggling but thinking about who he wants to be outside of his family’s legacy and getting put in Slytherin for it

Albus, who grew up on war stories and hogwarts hyjinks staying up half his first night because he’s afraid of his peers, but doesn’t want them to know that because he so desperately and conflictingly wants to both fit in and stand out

Albus, who is bad at flying, humiliating himself in front of his peers, because he isn’t harry but isn’t Quidditch player Ginny either… Albus, who all the adults see as Harry’s extension; Albus, who struggles with charms like Lily never will, who can barely make his matchstick silver under the blue eyed portrait in the room, who struggles to parse through the moving and unequal words of wizarding textbooks, who attracts bullies like flies and doesn’t yet have his mother’s hexes to fight back

Albus, struggling to write that first letter home, to tell his parents and little sister that he’s different from them; Albus who doesn’t even get to tell them because James tells them first

Albus, who doesn’t get a green scarf and hat until after the first snow, unable to parse if it’s the color, the fact that he’s the second born, or maybe just that it’s him that made it come later than James’ had

Albus, who goes back home for Christmas and faces his father’s disapproval for befriending a Malfoy, his father’s distrust and attempts to assure his morality for befriending someone harry assumes cruel and antagonistic

Albus, having to hold awkward conversation with Rose and Ron and Hermione, because neither of the kids want their parents to know they’re not talking (they find out eventually, and though they’re nice about it, Albus knows they’ll always put Rose’s feelings first)

Albus, who is suddenly assumed more malicious and problem causing than he ever was before, who suddenly is seen as a prime person to scot the blame off to when things go wrong

Albus, who gets chosen after his sister (“just like her mother!”) during the family quidditch match; who gets meaningful looks from his Uncle Percy; whose Christmas sweaters are no longer red but never green; who suddenly cant seem to talk to his uncle ron anymore, someone who used to understand what it was like to be James’ brother

Albus potter who stradles the line of too Potter for Slytherin and too Slytherin for his family.

Albus Potter, who’s ambition has been squashed out by bullies and disregard and distrust, struggling to find his identity in a house and world that is still in the midst of undoing decades as an indoctrination machine…

albus struggles to feel the love his family gives him and feels that he’s not worthy of it and will never receive the kinds of love he knows. all because he believes he never lived up to truly being a potter. but scorpius really sees him for who he is. not ‘harry potters son’ or the ‘slytherin squib’. he sees albus as his best friend and his guiding force when things feel dark and helpless. holding on to the one he loves so dearly when he felt cold and weak at the hands of the dementors? that decision was always easy.

scorpius is seen as a curse and unloveable, the supposed child of voldemort, and feels unworthy from that sentiment. like he’ll never feel true love because he lost love from his mother and was seen as something evil from a terrible rumour. but albus sees him as a light in the darkness. his light in the darkness. and albus would sacrifice his own life if it meant scorpius could be safe. because scorpius in pain is his worst fear. he’d rather die than see the one he loves tortured. that decision was always easy.

albus and scorpius always have and always will give each other everything and love each other so easily. because from that very first day, a simple decision to share sweets in a train carriage together was easy. just like breathing.

I may not be the biggest fan of Draco in the original Harry Potter series, but I love him SO. MUCH. in cursed child

Like yeah sure he was an asshole when he was younger, because that’s how Narcissa and Lucius raised him, but I truly believe the war changed him because in hpcc he is just such an amazing father to Scorpius

Like he goes OUT OF HIS WAY to talk to HARRY POTTER, just because he thinks it may do something to help out his son with the rumors. He TELLS HARRY TO LET SCORP AND AL BE FRIENDS AGAIN BECAUSE HE KNOWS THATS WHAT HIS SON WANTS.

Even if Draco will always be a bitch he’s a damn good father and I think that really shows how far he’s come
