#coding buddy

[as-i-watch]

He is so completely beyond everything at this point

You and “”coding buddy”” platonic or..?

“…F&$king freaks. He’s a friend, look, even if I did feel anything for him, things start out as friendship. Even if I did feel anything for him, it would have to be reciprocated.”

do we think maybe Buck referred to Eddie as "this one" because Ravi has a jar that he makes Buck put a twenty in if he says the name "Eddie" in his presence after that night in the bar?

Strohl and Hulkenberg are so funny to me as a duo. They're the exact same type of people - they NEED to pledge their life to a liege or they'll start ripping up your couch like an understimulated shepherd dog. However they go about it in polar opposite directions. (Early-game story spoilers ahead, mid-game gameplay spoilers) Hulkenberg had her life purpose taken away years back and comes to realize hyperfocusing probably isn't the optimal way to go about it, so she expands her horizons to do her duty better. Strohl had no will to live until joining the assassination plot, and then it fails so bad he resolves to hyperfocus so hard the classes he unlocks can only do one thing, critical slash damage really really well

Hulkenberg is the formal knightly one but she delights in mucking around and would rather fist fight people than think. But then she demolishes you in chess and teaches you tactics while Strohl, the familiar casual guy who's a lot more stategically minded is the one always sharpening a sword and implying if anything happened to you, seppuku may be on the table - Gallica this is so scary play encounter music - my courage has increased

It all clicked when I saw their third tier classes are paladin/dark knight and samurai. Ohhhh you guys are henchmen. You wanna be henchmen so bad. They're the exact same kinda guy but are completely baffled by everything the other guy does. They have everything in common and nothing in common. They both think they're the normal one of the group. They have completely different ideas about how to best do their jobs but they simply must beat the shit out of each other on the deck daily or else they might have to actually go to therapy. I need an early 2000s team up/roadtrip action movie with these two where Will is faking being kidnapped to draw out the bad guys but Gallica didn't tell Strohl and Hulkenberg because their bad acting would immediately give it away and they proceed to absolutely demolish the metaphorical furniture of the house of Euchronia looking for the world's most specialest lil' captain. Do you see my vision 🤌

Also the differences are not subtle anymore because:

THIS IS A PLATONIC GOODBYE HUG WITH THE BESTIES

THIS IS A ROMANTIC CODED HUG IN THE RAIN

I hope Tommy never leaves I hope he’s Eddie’s Best Man at the Buddie Wedding I hope he gives a toast mentioning that he’s the reason this finally happened I hope he and Chimney and Eddie still hang out I hope he takes Buck to things that Eddie isn’t that interested in the same way he takes Eddie to fights, I hope we find out what his dynamic is with Hen and Bobby and Ravi, I hope he gets a place in that little 118 family he was so jealous of

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two photos 🤓

I need him and Eddie to get married and adopt a baby girl. I need it like yesterday.

"Fiction affects reality because you cry at movies" antis ONCE AGAIN thinking they're pulling a gotcha when in reality all they're doing is putting something harmless on the same level as "wanting to go out and rape somebody"

Obsessed with the storytelling we got in that episode - the contrast between the version of Eddie Texas sees v the version of Eddie Buck sees - the way Buck embraces the entirety of Eddie no questions asked - that he loves him so much that he sees every aspect of Eddie as a good quality and is fully prepared to remind him that they are good qualities. While Eddies parents see something very different - they still see him as a failure. The show made it perfectly clear where Eddies need to ‘lie’ to his own son came from and why it persists. The way they offered not a single helping hand to Eddie unless it was wrapped in barbed wire.

The way that Buck is very loudly shown as a co parent in those video calls as well as a partner to Eddie - and that’s what is key about those scenes - what makes them incredibly important to the narrative for Eddie - Buck is stepping up and stepping in - but he is not just being there for Eddie - he is there for Chris too - from a distance and through Eddie - he is supportive to Eddie, but he is also not just giving platitudes and appeasements to make Eddie feel better - his advice is practical and parental and honest and places Chris at the centre and helps Eddie regain perspective whilst offering Christopher’s perspective as well. It’s the 800 miles away version of the Eddie asking Buck to step in and talk to Chris scenes we saw in season 7.

And the really key part of this is how much it is a contrast to very similar scenes we got in Eddie begins between Eddie and Shannon - when they were separated and forced to communicate via video chat - how Shannon was combattative and centred on her needs and lacking empathy etc. While Buck was focused on being empathetic to Eddie but not pandering or false in it (like his parents) he is at work and busy making lunch or dinner for the firehouse, but he still takes Eddies call - only ending it becasue hate bell rings making time to hear Eddies problems and woes and genuinely being interested in then and in the how to solve them.

It’s Shannons assertions that she needs a partner not a provider - someone to have her back because she doesn’t feel like she is getting those things from Eddie - when Eddie isn’t getting those things fro her either. But Buck and Eddie are the opposite - they have each others back and they are each others partners - they even provide for each other (Buck providing a means for Eddie to get back to his son and Eddie providing Buck affirmation!) the show cannot be much louder about how married they are behaving and in what direction things are going for them.
