I'm stuck on that kitchen scene, Eddie saying that he's not a therapy kind of guy, Buck mocking that Eddie likes to work it out in the ring... And Tommy saying he can be jealous and also telling Buck to call Eddie, he's on painkillers.
Maybe it's foreshadowing a storyline in which Eddie and Tommy get increasingly desperate to be the focus of Buck's attention, and jealousy starts to build, and when they finally have those fighting lessons, and Tommy and Eddie go for a demonstration... It just gets out of hand for the both of them.
Buck is watching like "what the fuck is happening right now, they are friends?"
And then both limp away after the fight and Tommy just goes "You know, I can't do this, okay? I'm not polyamorous. I don't want my boyfriend to have a boyfriend, and you and Eddie are just... way too intertwined for my comfort. So I'm out of here. Take care of yourself, Evan. And maybe talk about this with Eddie? He's on painkillers, now's a good time..."

"You wanna go for the title?"
And, yeah, of course Eddie does, but how is he meant to say it out loud even if it really does sound as though Buck wants him to say yes.
And that's where my mind made a record scratching sound, because fuck me, they're in a secret relationship.
Like a secret secret relationship, the kind where the writers suck ass and don't want to give it directly to the audience because I don't fucking know why, but they hint at it aggressively sometimes and others they ignore it completely.
That scene was not hetero, in the slightest. Eddie took a drink of his beer to keep himself from pouncing and no amount of differing opinions will change my mind.
They've got some sort of situationship thing going on where they're like 'yeah this is nice and all but I don't want it to mess up our friendship' or 'the relationship that we built is based on more than what's going on between us and we dont wanna fuck our base relationship up by giving into what we both want' ya know like every cliche friends-to-lovers?
They are literally the epitome of friends-to-lovers with an angsty beginning. The scent of 'secret relationship' gets more and more potent as the days go by, and if we and the 118 don't get a reveal soon I'm gonna explode.

i've seen figure skater sanji and hockey player zoro before. idk if its been explored but i'd love to put it out there:
hockey player sanji (specifically goalie bc he desperately wants to avoid being checked) and then pairs skater zoro.
pairs skater zoro's long time partner has been nami. though many people ship them together a Lot, they just know each other super well. Well enough to try dating and both of them realized they don't swing that way. in fact, it makes them a really good team. they fought long and hard to claim top spots in competitions because they portray a chemistry that's separate from the rest. plus zoro can carry nami like she weighs fucking nothing. so their lifts are so much more dynamic. they even have a whole next to impossible combination that they're trying to get the ISU to name after them officially.
sanji plays for the East Blue Straw Hats in the Grand Line Hockey League – a formidable rookie group that took down lots of big names in the preseason. they want to make it all the way to the postseason playoff finals but always seem to fall short. but theyre so determined. they reignited a lot of old sparks that were no longer there for old fans and brought in new and curious fans. sanji is the starter goalie and a damn good one at that. it makes sense bc goalies are often doing splits on the ice just to make a save. he's perfected the technique that utilizes just his legs to make saves that make the crowd go fuckin insane.
we have the usual "i booked the rink to practice before you did" trope but a little more spice. in actuality, sanji loves watching pairs skating competitions. his favorite pair rn is franky and robin (mostly for robin). and he adamantly does not want to admit to anyone that he watches zoro and nami's routines much more frequently. (and if anyone asks, he always says its bc of nami. its never just bc of nami.) and zoro's besties with luffy so he always watches their matches even if he barely understands the rules. and he definitely does not stare at a certain blond starter goalie most of the match thats fucking ridiculous
one day zoro and sanji are invited to do one of those comparison videos between hockey players and figure skaters. both get to laugh at the other even Attempting to do their sport. zoro frankly looks ridiculous in all of sanji's usual goalie get-up. and sanji couldn't land an euler to save his life. the video producer suggests they try a simple pairs skating routine. sanji is like "oh i couldn't do that–hEY WHAT THE FUCK MOSSHEAD PUT ME DOWN" because zoro lifted sanji and had him sat on his shoulder like it was normal.
zoro smirks, "you might be lighter than nami, actually. wanna be my new partner?"
sanji knees him in the stomach before skating away while blushing so hard he could melt the ice beneath him.

Ahem. This is not a drill! Buddie is on it's way!
Why do I say this? Well, because we've been given a very generous tip...
They're waiting for pizza to arrive 🍕,
and they're smelling smoke 🔥!!
And since the sea monkeys the show just mentioned... are obviously buddie...
And as we all know, the thing which wakes up sea monkeys 🕺🕺from their dormancy 🏡😴...
is ... WATER 💧...?
The end result is buddie.
Yes I know I am unhinged but c'mon guys,
we know this scene!!!
🍕+🔥+💧...?
Pizza and smoke and water...?
It's the Worst timeline (and in my opinion, also the Best) from the Community, and it's happening!
Which also means that Buddie will wake up! Because they just compared buddie to sea monkeys... and the worst timeline ALSO has that water💧 that sea monkeys 🕺🕺 need, to wake up from their hibernation!
Yes! Our thirst will be quenched!!!
The pizza is coming, there's smoke in the air...
And it'll rain!!
It's happening buddies,
Our sea monkeys are in the process of waking up from their dormancy!!! 🕺🕺🥳
Btw more fun sea monkey facts!
I'm too lazy to dig up the exact quotes so I'll just describe two more scenes from other fandoms which mention sea monkeys...
In Supernatural, 5x6, I Believe the Children Are Our Future... A family of sea monkeys is mentioned... it's an example of something very unrealistic-sounding, something that sounds like a lie, a thing only kids believe in... But is actually coming true; becoming the new, reshaped reality.
And also in Juno, in which the sea monkey is the baby whom Juno (a teen mom giving her baby up for adoption) is expecting. Juno says she would give the baby right away to the couple she has decided should be the baby's parents... But they'll have to be patient because the fetus probably looks like a sea monkey at the moment... So she'll keep it in the oven for a while longer, to make it cuter! So a sea monkey is a work-in-progress in the realm of Juno. (Yes, I'm using the pronoun 'she' here, it's because I'm referring to his role, a young woman called Juno, I'm not talking about the actor.)
Where was I?
Yes. Sea monkeys! They're real, they're something that will arrive with a little patience, they're dormant...
And water is what wakes them up!!!
So let's hope it'll rain soon...? Oh.. This is perfect! Katie Melua's Flood is one of my favorite songs and it fits this theory perfectly!! Let's go, Katie! 🎤

Name: Monkey Crab
Debut: Splatoon 2
Today we are talking about a Splatoon character beloved by all. More popular than the Squid Sisters! More respected than Off the Hook! It’s Monkey Crab! The world-famous Monkey Crab!
Now if you didn’t notice from us using a plushie as the header image, Monkey Crab is not real. Sorry. And I don’t just mean in the sense that most Splatoon characters aren’t real! He’s not real in the world of Splatoon! He’s what we call a cartoon guy, in the business. An in-universe fictional character!
Monkey Crab first shows up in the stage MakoMart, which is a supermarket, and the devs had to make a bunch of fake food packaging for it! There is a lot of fun stuff like Off the Hook flavored cereal, but our star here got three different types of cereal all for himself! I think this stuff is super cool, since the world of Splatoon is already so cartoony, what would their cartoons look like? Monkey Crab gives a glimpse into that world, and what a world it is!
So Monkey Crab is a cereal mascot! Case closed! He is like a Toucan Sam or a Tony the Tiger, or a Buzz the Honey Nut Cheerios! But a fake cereal guy is not bound by the rules of our world, because...
A few months later, Monkey Crab returned to us... in the Amusement Park stage, Wahoo World! Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t see a lot of cereal mascots in amusement parks, in our world. I mean, maybe sometimes they collaborate? But this means either A. Monkey Crab was a cereal mascot who achieved incredible widespread success, or B. Monkey Crab was not originally a cereal mascot, he just happened to have a cereal tie-in. I choose to believe A, because it’s funnier!
Look, here he is in Inkopolis Square, eating Cereal! It’s SO his thing! So if mammals don’t exist in Splatoon, what kind of Milk do they eat with their cereal? Monkey Crab says Don’t Worry About It! :)
Keep in mind we didn’t even have a name for this guy until a Japanese exclusive magazine, where he was revealed to be called Sarukani! Sarukani means monkey crab. It definitely is a crab, and his face sort of is monkey-ish! (Though, monkeys are extinct, right?) Thanks to the power of Japanese Google, I managed to find a picture, with his official art and everything! So I did my best to translate it, even though other people probably have before:
He greets you with an 100% smile, the most popular cereal mascot at MakoMart! His smile is so wonderful, he's been showing up lately on commercials on the giant monitor in Inkopolis Square. (He's so popular that he's even being used on skateboard designs!)
So yeah! That pretty much confirms he’s a cereal character first and formost! And his smile! It’s the secret to his success, and you have to admit it’s a pretty great smile. What about the skateboards? Uh... we’ll get to that!
Now there’s actually a Japanese folktale about a monkey and a crab, which I am reading about on Wikipedia just now. It’s about a monkey who murders a crab with persimmons. And so much more! But none of that is important right now. The point is it’s usually known as Sarukani Gassen, or Monkey-Crab Battle, which might be where the name Monkey Crab comes from? Maybe? I dunno? It’s the sort of thing I’d expect from Splatoon, but I’m not sure how it relates to cereal!
Of course, I’m only really writing this post because of Splatoon 3, which introduced customizable lockers, and lots of Random Junk to customize those lockers with! And it just so happens a lot of that junk features Monkey Crab! I have a dedicated Monkey Crab shelf in my locker, and you should too!
There’s the monkey-crab cushion from the top of this post, but how about a monkey-crab mug! Would you drink hot beverages from this? Would you drink cold beverages from this? Look at that face. He is so happy to be providing a container for liquids.
And the aforementioned monkey-crab skateboard! Of course cereal mascots are no strangers to skateboarding in real life. Do you think Monkey Crab has a radical commerical encouraging Inklings to eat a balanced breakfast and do Extreme Sports? Because I hope so!
All three cereal boxes are available to purchase too! It’s interesting how they get progressively more expensive. Is coconut cereal rarer? Is someone scalping cereal? That they sell in the supermarket?
Are you in need of a laugh? Monkey Crab is sure to make you giggle and chuckle and chortle with his comedy comic! I’m laughing out loud just looking at this cover! I’m crying with laughter! I just love Monkey Crab so much!
But of course, this has all been a lead-up to the peak of Monkey Crab’s career, my personal favorite item in his collection...
Monkey Crab in Silly Land!
Isn’t it wonderful? Just the title alone inspires such joyous whimsy! A whole Silly Land, for you to explore with your best friend Monkey Crab! Not only is it great they gave this cereal mascot an entire Switch game, but this officially makes Monkey Crab an in-universe scrimblo! Congratulations, Monkey Crab! If anyone deserves it, it’s you!
That’s all for today fellow Monkey Crab enthusiasts, but keep an eye out for our next cool post, where we write about Mister Shrug and Missus Shrug, and their spicy secrets! We’ll finally get to the bottom of... hm? Hm. I’m being told that I’m not allowed to write a post on Mister and Missus Shrug. Sorry everyone.
