no matter how many fics there are of it, i will never get tired of buck looking for apartments, eddie catching him and saying "i told you that you can stay as long as you need" and all variations thereof (EDDIE YOU DOPE THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS ASKING BUCK TO STAY), and buck replying "yeah but i gotta go, i can't stay, i gotta get outta your hair so you and chris can get back to normal" (BUCK YOU DOPE NEITHER OF THEM WANT YOU GONE), and eddie proceeding to take that so so so personally that he either panics and blurts "OKAY BUT I WANT YOU TO STAY" or he just bluescreens and lets buck move out even though he hates it so so so much and then a week or more later he's throwing rocks at buck's window in the middle of the night and holding up a boombox playing "come back to me" by vanessa hudgens or yknow however the author goes about it bc i'm frankly not picky

rewatched the motorcycle accident from 1x10 where the dad makes sure to tell his son on the phone about this thing that his kid wanted to see but made sure the last thing he emphasized that he loved him. I love you, son. and before Bobby died he made sure to tell Buck the same. I love you, kid. from the accident that started his journey of hope for a life with Athena to the lab where he had to be the one to say goodbye. it was always about telling that you were trying to come home to your family. and you love your kid.

“Eddie, I’m in love with you,” he says, heart thrumming in his chest, in his throat, in his mouth. He feels hot and cold and dizzy by turns.

“What?” asks Eddie faintly, barely even a question.

“I’m in love with you,” Buck says again. “I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to, but I am. I am.”

“You– Right, okay,” says Eddie, so visibly buffering that it makes Buck’s heart clench a little in his chest. Of course he’s in love with Eddie. How could he possibly have let himself pretend otherwise. “Wasn’t expecting this, bud,” says Eddie, and he sounds so shocked that Buck can’t help a wry smile. Of course Eddie’s surprised. They must be the only two people in existence who didn’t already know. “I– Buck, man, you know that I care about you, but…”

“I know,” he says gently to Eddie, because he did know, but that doesn’t make this moment hurt any less.

—

Post season 8, Buck confesses his feelings, Eddie lets him down as gently as he can, and they both try to figure out how to be just friends.

yet another reason why queer romance in media that is very subtle or more queer-coding than actual explicit rep is so much more compelling than the wealth of straight stories that are out there is bc I think a lot of romance writers forget that you have to like. show not tell. and imply things. and if you hustle things along and put two characters together for the sake of it instead of really working to build their relationship and show how well they work with each other it's not really going to be as interesting to people. and for some reason, a staggering amount of people do not know how to write romance properly so you get a very bland forced dynamic that either feels like an afterthought (he's a boy and she's a girl, hey they could be together because that's what happens!) or the only thing that matters about their characters (see her? she's the Love Interest. that is all she's there for)

however if you're being censored and you literally can't make your characters say "I love you" or kiss or maybe even hold hands you're going to have to come up with more creative ways to tell your audience that they're in love and that usually results in the most poetic beautiful stuff you've ever seen that's SO much more interesting than two characters who make eye contact and go into the slow-mo rose petals scene that's basically screaming at you "hey look at these two. they're in love. you're supposed to be invested in their relationship now. do you get it?" eye contact held for slightly too long in an emotional scene is more compelling. a hand very lightly touching their back is WAY more compelling.

and might I add this is not even impossible to achieve with uncensored straight romances at all like Pride & Prejudice is wildly popular for this exact reason. how many times have I seen people going insane over the hand flex scene. they didn't even kiss in that movie unless you count the extended ending. and everyone loves it. because it's done RIGHT.

tldr; romance is hard to write and you have to put in the effort if you want people to care about your ship. now go forth and imply something

QUICK EDIT TO ADD ALSO when things are more subtle that gives people more space to interpret the dynamic as whatever they want. something might be subtle because that's all they're allowed to show, but something might be subtle because that literally what it's supposed to be. as an aroace person I personally see a LOT of queerplatonic vibes from more subtly played relationships and it's so incredibly exciting and heartwarming for me. and that's a whole new realm of relationship that I think should also be given more attention

not a big fan of the idea that s8 is the worst season of 9-1-1 when s6 is literally right there. s5 also wasn’t great (controversial: the eddie arc was so disjointed and messy it’s almost offensive) but s6 is just. not good. i did like a lot of episodes of s6 as stand-alone eps but the season as a whole is kinda bad. s8 is way more solid!! the arcs make sense upon rewatch and it all fits together!!
