The Lover of Chaos
I begged you not to run as you ventured to the ends of the Earth, for my feet had begun to ache, and my body had grown weary. The longer I ran, the faster I faded, but you could not hear my wails over the wind blowing through your ears.
I begged you not to jump as we stood at the edge of a cliff - at the edge of the world. For I cannot stomach the thought of the end. You stared over the edge, your face shining with glee, but you could not hear my wails over the frantic pounding of your heart.
You turned to me and asked, "Isn't this lovely?"
But I didn't dare to respond.
You stuck your hand out, wishing for my company, my sacrifice, my touch. And when all had been granted to you, you'd done what you've always done, and you took like you always took.
But who is truly to blame, for I was the fool who entrusted the thief with my purse - and the killer with my life. So, was it not yours for the taking?
To love, to live, to lose. To yearn, to take, to succumb. All you love is destruction and all you bring is chaos, but all I can love is you.

regarding ryan clearly stating multiple times that eddie is heterosexual, do you know if that has ever happened before? was he ever this unambiguous? and what about oliver? has he ever talked about buck's sexuality in definite terms? i know he agreed with the view that buck is bisexual but i wonder if he ever said in an interview or somewhere that buck is heterosexual.
This question got me going on a deep dive (and having fun).
SO.
With the caveat that I ofc have not uncovered every EARLY interview in print, the short answer is: No.
But I brought context!
Oliver, interestingly, (from what I can find) did not have to deal with much Buddie speculation from journalists in season two and even early season three during the tsunami arc.
Here's a TVInsider article about Buck, Actually that calls Buddie a bromance. Oliver says something we heard when he was doing promo in March - supporting Buddie means people care about the characters and the show, so was happy know the fans are so invested in the story.
Here are three articles about the tsunami arc that focus on the Buck and Christopher dynamic instead of Buddie.
Here's an article previewing the the second half of season 3 in which Buck and Christoper are once again mentioned, and Oliver gave this response that I have NEVER seen mentioned (👀):
"I'm just waiting for Buck to be called [Christopher's] godfather."
I did find ONE TVInsider interview for the 3B premiere where Oliver said Buddie was a "friendship, bromance, whatever you want to call it" BUT also allowed for the possibility of it being romantic in the future after discussing the Buddie edits he and Ryan find on social media. (He was definitely not looking at his character as fully hetero just from edits/clips because that RS article we've all decided to ignore said season four was when Tim first brought it to Oliver as a possibility.)
As for Ryan.
Like I said, I can't find anything atm where he *explicitly* refers to his character as straight or heterosexual, but his answers have never offered room for SERIOUS speculation.
Interview with Anthem Magazine from spring 2019 in which Ryan first (? I think) brought up two men having emotional ties to each other being a "taboo quality". (And we can see his mind hasn't changed, understandably.)
Here's another with TheWrap on Eddie Begins where he says Buck's reaction to thinking he lost Eddie would be the same for anyone who thought they lost a brother.
Bonus: This is also the interview where he mentions having assumed Lena was going to be set up as LI and was surprised it didn't happen.
Ryan was asked about the Buck/Abby reunion to close season 3, calls Buck Eddie's "wingman".
Just for comparison. I'm also gonna include a link to a Hello Mag interview (with the well-known Buddie shipper) where she REALLY took advantage of the Buckley-Diaz story line after the shooting. (And where I *personally* think Buddie started getting out of hand with the media because of the online reaction. If people on instagram and twitter and tumblr didn't know what Buddie was before, they definitely did after 4x14.)
I'm still keeping my eyes peeled, so if I spot anything else to add that I think would be of interest, I will be sure to do that. :)

not a slight against tommy didario specifically, but i think part of the problem is that only people who are super plugged in to 9-1-1 on social media are being asked what questions they'd like to have answered by journos/podcasters, etc. and like it or not, they are super active on the bird and clock apps where the most rabid and deranged fans reside. so of course when tommy d puts out a plea for question on twitter, the b*ddie or bust fans respond in mass with their b*ddie questions and theories..
and really, these are probably also the people reading the online-only mag articles and listening to the podcasts, so i guess it's a symbiotic cycle of derangement.
Yeah that's true. I think most of these journalist using buddie for likes.
Yesterday that journalist max tweeted that 7+09 remains him of the season 4 final and what did people do yeah you guessed it right they made it about buddie so he deleted that tweet and reminded people who was seen in the promo for 7+09. BOBBY... !!!
it's okay that some people ship buck and Eddie but when you bring the fandom side to the actor's and ask them constantly is buddie happening or not you put them into a corner because Ryan and Oliver don't write the show. So they both say the same thing over and over again...at this point everyone should get the hint.
They could have asked Oliver so many questions..and only 2 people really cared to ask about buck Tommy and that's it.
Or what about Ryan's opinion on the cheating storyline I pretty sure at that point Tommy had the interview he probably saw the episode 7+07. And we got nothing about that.
it's so unfair to both characters that everything they do people make it about buddie. As if these characters don't exist outside of the ship. Especially with so many important stories they tell with both of them. For example mental health issues, grief, trauma Family issues.
