listen I don't even need buck to hook up with a ton of people, I just need one person to come back to his place with him, hot and ready to go, and they're flirting, making out a little, and just moving through the house, and buck goes to make them a drink or smth while his date stays in the living room for a moment, and they look around themselves, take in the decor, and the pictures on the wall, and when buck comes back they've got their jacket back on and are on their way to the door going "oh my god, I can't do this" and buck's like "wait what?? what do you mean???" but his date just keeps walking, and only right after they've set foot outside, they turn to look him dead in the eye, a shaken yet pissed expression on their face, and go "I don't sleep with married men, okay?"
and then they slam the door in his face and buck's just standing there, staring into nothingness as his mind spins out of control like it never has before.

Let me hold your hand while I say this - I absolutely do want to read your PHD thesis on Buddie
Every person out here spending hours writing an essay about framing, costume, wording, scene parallels, colour palettes, etc, etc is a true hero to me
i think this will either go one of two ways. either A) they see the backlash, realize it's not going to go away, and reverse bobby's death, (cmon you're gonna risk losing angela basset?) saving the very little face they have left for their very popular show. or B) they won't have the balls to tell Tim Minear to change the story and he runs the show into the ground. either the show will become incredibly grief stricken and depressing that it's not fun to watch anymore or they're going to move on so quickly from Bobby it feels unnatural and the show will feel incredibly soulless.
Angela Bassett has already said she doesn't see a world where Athena and Bobby don't end up together at the end of the show. the interviews have revealed that literally everybody (the cast, the crew, the execs) did not think this was a good idea. we know there were multiple endings filmed, that the execs had to talk Minear out of a 4 minute helicopter chase scene in the middle of an episode when they couldn't even be bothered to show eddie once, and the deadline article points out that this was a this was "the biggest risk Tim has ever taken in his 30 year career." people apparently understood this was an incredibly risky and stupid move.
and as much as i would like to hold onto all of that, i think there's a very real, simple, and terrifying possibility that they're not going to reverse this and that the show is going to be run into the ground, despite all of the obvious reasons not to.
i think the best thing to do is keeping up the pressure because there are so many cracks in this already that it's very possible we could fix if we don't let it die.
i'm sorry for the dramatics, but i really don't wanna lose this show to a bad writing decision, especially not when i feel like there is something we can do and this could maybe be reversed.

enjoying the fact that the main genre of fic to emerge from this hiatus is ‘buck completely loses it after eddie leaves but it’s ok because turns out eddie is as not normal about him as he is about eddie’
ten out of ten no notes
800 miles between them but still have each other’s backs🥹
if taylor shows up again just so tim can do a scene direct from fanfiction in which buck is like "oh btw i'm bi" and taylor is like "me too. congrats on finally figuring out your feelings for eddie" and buck's brain implodes well. that would be the funniest thing he could possibly do
idk how to articulate how fucking stupid it is to call it a "creative decision" after killing off the character whose whole storyline is about creating his second chance and building a family again and being worthy of love despite your past and just. for what. for him to die alone. all 8 seasons of that just for him to fucking die alone.
eddie went to the seeley booth school of being actively behind the wheel but only staring at his passenger princess instead of the road
Currently hyperfocusing on 9-1-1 and Buddie instead of studying like I should lol. 24 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (they/them)
