You were saying...?👀

'buddie is not canon' yeah tell that to oliver and ryan (pt.2)

I can't help but keep making the distinction, between Chimney hitting Buck for not telling him about Maddie - but obviously they're good again after Chimney apologized off screen. - That is classic brothers behavior. (Though if my sister threw a punch at me I would have punched her back lol)

And then there's Eddie, who was so mad at Buck, Shannon and at himself in S3 he ended up street fighting, but never laid a hand on Buck, no matter if he deserved it or not. - That shows the difference between the relationship Chimney has with Buck and Eddie's relationship with Buck. - The one where he loves him too much, where he prefers to hurt himself than hurt Buck.

The differences are glaring👀

"But I wouldn't do that."

These are just two examples, I can go on.

This is more... This is a different kind of love. 👀❤️🥹

Fighting has been an important narrative vehicle for Eddie’s character over the years. It’s always about his deep emotional life, Big Feelings, and the stuff he won’t or can’t even look at, consciously approach and/or deal with out loud. Eddie’s cage fighting arc in season 3 was all about him wrestling with grief and feelings of inadequacy as a husband and father. That arc was also wrapped up in Eddie’s feelings of abandonment brought on by Buck’s lawsuit against the LAFD.

The OG Kitchen Scene in 309 was monumental for so many reasons. Eddie and Buck had a vulnerable and intimate conversation about everything that happened and they repaired the rift caused by Buck leaving Eddie (and Chris) in their time of need. But the wild part that we ALL talk about TO THIS DAY was the sexually charged ‘wanna go for the title’ flirtation that Buck (King!) delivered right to Eddie’s face. The belt buckle grab. Eddie’s smirk and later averted gaze. The phallic beer bottles. All of it. My Beloved.

Now in season 7 we have a (healthier and more emotionally available/mature) return to that same internal fight symbolism via Eddie’s 704 Vegas Unification Fight trip with Tommy and his Muay Thai sparring with Tommy. I wrote a meta about some of this last week.

Before Eddie can go for the title with Buck, he’s got to win his fight/sparring matches with Tommy. Right now he and Tommy are going ‘toe to toe’ as Eddie said in 704. It’s a draw between them at the moment. But Eddie has to actually win the symbolic match/fight by taking Tommy’s title aka unequivocally claim his own queer identity and then go get his man.

Eddie is clicking with Tommy and jet-setting to Vegas with Tommy, playing sports with Tommy and sparring with Tommy because, in terms of Eddie’s character arc, Tommy has something Eddie needs! It’s the queer identity piece. It’s gotta be. The show has already established that they’re basically the same person, with the main noticeable difference being that Tommy is an out gay man who knows that part of himself well. Eddie doesn’t fully know the shape and nuance of his own queerness yet. But he will. And when he sorts it out for himself. He’ll be able to return to Buck’s dimly lit (romantic af) kitchen and ‘go for the title’.

Bonus Point #1 - Buck didn’t really know his own queerness either until Tommy kissed him in 704. Buck did in fact ‘go for the title’ but with Tommy four seasons later instead of with the love of his life Eddie. It’ll happen though. It’s been foretold!

Bonus Point #2 - The Kitchen as a setting in 911 is so damn perfect and unhinged. Buck’s kitchen is where the ‘go for the title’ challenge was originally issued and where romantic/flirtatious encounters happened. Eddie’s kitchen is mostly where messes are made. (Honestly I’m just thinking about the Ana break up here.) I think Buddie will eventually find themselves in Buck’s kitchen again, both fully ready for what they mean/are to each other and what they can be together. They will get their kiss. Their unification bout. I also think we’ll finally come full circle with the mess in Eddie’s kitchen and Buddie will clean it up together…as a newly minted couple.

Yeah. Underlying sexual tension is the definition of Buddie at this point. It’s only gotten louder and more textual via Tommy’s introduction. The fight (especially for Eddie) continues. The Buddie tension won’t be ‘underlying’ forever tho. Just. Let ‘em cook. For now.

I'm definitely team 'buddie can be platonic and still be as important to each other'

but damn they really were flirting in the 3x09 kitchen scene

buddie comfort and redemption at the end of 3x09 🫶🏻🫶🏻 yeah? You can still take him in a fight Buck??

I almost want someone to actually tell me if they’re canon or fanon but I will be strong and find out for myself.

I love the way they are together with Christopher. They’re perfect to me. Best buddies!!

Edit: I looked up the clip on tumblr and got this

MADDIE BUCKLEY 9-1-1 S03E09 | "Fallout"

[fruitandbubbles]

Just watching 9-1-1 3x09 and the scene with Buck and Eddie at Buck’s place where Buck’s so apologetic about not being there for Eddie and Chris bc of the lawsuit and practically asking Eddie to punch him and then being like “I can still take you.” BRUH THESE BITCHES SO GAY

and when it cuts to them playing video games with Chris right after, i love ONE family 😭❤️

[ilostyou]

genuinely though i want to see the script notes for the 3x09 kitchen scene bc … what POSSESSED THEM. literally what was all that. i wanna know what instructions were given to them that made buck go all tilted head poking eddie and “i’d still take you” and his hand on his belt when he mentions going for the title and. the way eddie smirks and cocks his head?????? i need to know what was intended to be when the writers wrote it like and. how much was written and how much was them acting the scene however they felt was right??? i need ANSWERS

[eddie-buckleydiaz]

i would like to point out the “you wanna go for the title” scene is still the gayest thing to have happened in bucks kitchen, and he made out with a man in there.

#he FINALLY went for the 💗💜💙 title
