who else loves the best depiction of a healthy platonic male relationship on television BUCK AND EDDIE ❤️

fanfiction is so beautiful because what do you mean i can read the same characters falling in love 92737389 times in different scenarios and not get tired of it.

eddie repaired his relationship with his son off screen. told his son he's moving off screen. got the news that bobby nash, his captain, his mentor, his narrative mirror, is dead off screen. but no tell me all about how I'm unreasonable and trying to give the other characters less screentime by having a fucking main be treated as a main

"8×17 is about water poisoning in L.A", "8×17 is about Eddie choosing the juice" what if it's about BOTH

I think my biggest annoyance about this episode is that it doesnt really feel like it’s a continuation of the previous one? At least when it comes to buck and eddie. Buck randomly asking for a transfer when the previous episode had him having that talk with pepa, his reunion with chris (symbolizing that he still has a family and that things arent as fractured as they seem) and ESPECIALLY that scene where he works together to end that fire with hen and chim symbolizing that they are still a team and that’s just… ignored? Buck suddenly doesnt give a shit about hen and chim? And i get it, he’s still grieving but then what the fuck was the purpose of 8x17 if it wasn’t him starting the ACTUAL healing process? Him randomly choosing to transfer is so… odd and out of place? And Eddie! What is the purpose of that talk he had with hen & karen where he slips out that LA is his home and that he’s worried about buck? What’s the purpose of showing us how happy he looks when he sees buck snd chris together again (showcasing that he knows his family is in LA?) All of this just for him to still seem to be eager to leave for Texas at the end of the emergency when it was such a great set up for him to realize he wants to stay and work with the people he cares about? Apparently since Chris didn’t even need any convincing to go back to LA?????? Was this weird dissonance between the two episodes and the character writing really just to set up chimney’s speech at the end (which mind u kenny killed but I’m really struggling to enjoy)??

Like I dont think they could have dropped the ball harder than this if they tried.

do you think buck lies awake at night trying hard and failing bad not to think about The Competition Conversation. like "he was a renter? WHY did i say that? A RENTER?????? whatever. Whatever. it's true anyway. he WAS a renter. and he IS straight. and i'm NOT in love with him. it's TRUE. it's fine. whatever!!!!! who cares. not me! 🙂 stupid tommy. what does he know? he just doesn't get our Bond. our NORMAL BOND. whatever. shut up and go to sleep buck. you have facetime breakfast with eddie in the morning! which is NOT because i'm in love with him. just to be clear!" and then he grabs his phone and googles "facetime every day sometimes multiple times normal reddit" and it takes him to r/datingadvice and r/longdistance and he throws his phone on the floor

lucy donato could have piloted that helicopter AND she would still have more emotional reaction to bobby dying, she was there during may day she Gets IT
