#buddie canon

[roastedsloth]

Everybody thank Pinterest and clipboard buck for existing

[dudesrysly]

When buddie becomes canon, I want Oliver and Ryan do the “two best friends in a room, they might kiss” challenge so sooo bad…

[rosstrytobe]

I believe in few things...

One of them is that THIS IS THEIR SEASON 🤡🤡🤡

[aida-sparks]

Eddie pining in secret over Buck seems like a legitimate thing.

There's subtext in many scenes that make me think Eddie has secretly pined over Buck to some extent. I also see more than one reason why Eddie might never act on all those warm feels he doesn't know what to do with. Just one of those reasons is that even if he has finally accepted that he himself has feelings for Buck, he simply doesn't see how Buck could ever reciprocate.

Why would Eddie think that? Eddie's understanding of Buck's sexual life is shaped by what he's heard. (And what he hasn't!)

Eddie was never around to hear Maddie's comments that imply her brother might like men the same way he likes women.

Maddie to Buck in 2x4: "So does this boy crush on Eddie mean that you're finally ready to move on from Abby?"

Maddie to Josh in 3x12: "Oh no, I like you too much to set you up with my brother." Unrelated to Maddie but still key: Eddie also missed TK's comment to Buck in the Lonestar crossover episode, where TK assumed Buck was either gay or bi and that Buck was hitting on him.....

2. Instead, Eddie was around to hear all about Buck's firehose exploits back in the days when he was a self-described "sex addict". Yes, Eddie knows about Buck 1.0.

In 3x12, When Chimney suggests Eddie try talking to a therapist name Rosie, Buck asks, "Is that the one I slept with?" Eddie responds, "You slept with your therapist?"

Most recently in 6x13 Eddie listens to Buck try to calculate all the women he's slept with.

No one can convince me that the look on Eddie's face here is simply exasperation. He truly looks a little crestfallen, like Buck's words stung him.

It's just another reminder in Eddie's head that Buck is different from him when it comes to sex. Pair that with the head canon that Eddie is demisexual (everything in canon points to it, in my opinion!), and it's easy to see why Eddie would think he has zero chance with Buck. Buck once described himself as a sex addict. Eddie, on the other hand, got with Shannon in high school and hasn't ever been shown to go looking for any casual flings or want even a one-night stand. I don't think Eddie judges either lifestyle; he just recognizes they are very different. So, no matter what Eddie may have come to realize about his own feelings toward Buck, it's easy for him to think he could never be enough for Buck. And so Eddie pushes down those warm feelings, and he settles for whatever he can get with Buck. As long as Buck's in his and Christopher's life, that can be enough for Eddie. And that's still so sad to me, because it means that Eddie still isn't following his own heart.

It would be interesting for Eddie to be in earshot the next time Maddie makes a comment about a male date for Buck, though!

Things we would get if buddie ever becomes cannon:

• Buck & Eddie cuddling with each other.

• Buck & Eddie flirting with each other at work & annoying the 118.

• Their shy, awkward first kiss.

• Their eventual heated kisses and then comfort kisses.

• Bobby, Athena & Maddie having the "talk" with Eddie to never hurt buck

• Chimney calling Eddie brother in law

• Buck and Eddie nursing each other's small injuries that they get on calls

• Hen & Karen telling Eddie it's okay to come to terms with his sexuality at any age.

• Christopher calling Buck "Dad".

• Buck eventually moving into the Diaz household.

• Eddie giving up on cooking finally and letting Buck take care of them.

• Hen and Chimney gonna be like "We always been knew".

• Buck and Eddie eventually proposing (they both will somehow decide to propose on the same day and get on their knees together)

• Buck and Eddie finally, finally being happy

Buddie things which are already canon in the show.

don't worry ryan, I got the message

[very-feral-lesbian]

so, tommy thinks something has happened before between buck and eddie AND tommy is only going to be in one more episode AND eddie & tommy were originally going to be the romantic plot of this season…. in conclusion, buddie endgame

[regmonchou]

i cant believe what we are witnessing AGAIN

[cruccabastarda]

God this will be my Roman empire... The way Buck is so small around Eddie and the way Eddie is so comfortable and smiley around Buck. After last year this feels so surreal 🥹🥹

[frostymilkovich]

Yes, he really complied with the bio of the video

[janivewe]

Tk thought Buck was gay

I repeat

TK THOUGHT BUCK WAS GAY

[dudesrysly]

Hen: so, how was the honeymoon?

Eddie: Buck got drunk and tried to destroy our marriage certificate.

Eddie: He said, "good luck trying to return me without the receipt".

Eddie: I love him.

you can take the girl out of the clownery (the supernatural queerbait), but you can't take the clownery (being 100% sure my queer ships are going canon) out of the girl

Eddie is always including Buck

Whenever I watch 3x16, I get stuck on this often overlooked buddie moment. The episode is where Buck feels like he might get left behind and end up alone like Red, a retired firefighter he meets in a bar.

There's a scene near the beginning of the episode where Buck wants to go out with the rest of the firefam and celebrate after a rescue. But everyone has plans already, and Buck ends up looking dejected before slamming his locker and heading out to the bar alone.

But it's important what plans each member of the 118 had that would keep them from hanging out with Buck. Hen has a date night with Karen:

Hen: Tonight's date night with Karen. Buck: She can come. Hen: I don't think that's her idea of a date, but have fun.

Bobby has a date night with Athena:

Bobby: Yeah and I'm sorry, Buck, but Athena and I have a date night tonight too so you guys have a good time.

Chim has a date night with Maddie:

Chimney: No offense, but you are not the Buckley I was looking forward to spending my night with.

But before all those "No thank you's" came out, there was Eddie's response to Buck's invitation first…

Eddie: Wish I could, man. Christopher's hosting his first sleepover tonight. Hey, you're more than welcome to come and celebrate with a bunch of nine-year-olds?

Our darling Eddie, who wanted to go out with Buck but had an obligation to his son. Eddie, who invited Buck to come home with him and be a part of his plans.

The scene of course shows Buck joking that the rest of the team will toast to Eddie's absence, but that's before he learns everyone else has date night plans. The plot of the episode delves into Buck's concern that the 118 family could potentially grow apart from each other in the distant future as years go by, like with what happened to Red.

Things had to go this way for the episode's sake, but I think had Buck known everyone else had plans already, and then Eddie invited Buck over, Buck would have considered forgoing a night at a bar alone and would have chosen to go and hang out with Eddie and Christopher instead.

The point is ….

For the episode to highlight Buck's fear of being left behind, it's so crazy to see that Eddie is right there, making sure he never is.

t0mmy’s facial expression when buck said “this is my first date with a dude” man was shocked😭

[bizarre-transmission]

random thought, but one of the reasons I need buddie to be canon is that I need a scene where taylor finds out they're together, like she's reporting at the scene of a call they're both on and tries flirting with buck, then eddie randomly pops up and kisses him like "hey babe 😘 -oh heeeeey taylor didn't see you there 😊", the satisfaction it would give me would be immeasurable, I need it
