the difference between the kitchen scene in 3x09 and the kitchen scene in 6x01 is that buck and eddie know each other inside and out. before it was attraction. there was some heated flirting but there was too much still weighing them down. neither of them were in the right place for more than a cheeky “wanna go for the title?”. for more than a half-lidded glance and a hand on the belt. for more than a smirk and a chuckle and a sip from their beers. there was the lawsuit and the street fighting and they all had so much trauma they hadn’t worked through yet. but then christmas. and the skateboard. and the well. and a pandemic. and active coparenting. and the shooting and the will. and eddie’s panic attack. breaking up with ana. buck dating taylor. lucy. eddie’s breakdown. therapy. buck there every single day. when they flirt when they talk about new couches it’s not attraction, it’s love. when they finally get to a place where they’re ready to be together it’ll be real. they’re it for each other. they’re each other’s last loves. it’s not about going for something as temporary and competitive as a title. it’s about a couch. it’s about family video game championships and nights spent in recovery. it’s long term, it’s lasting, it’s part of a home, and it’ll be theirs soon.
I've figured out how 6.09 "Warning Signs" is going to be THE Buddie episode we've been waiting for -
literally the opening of "I Found" by Amber Run has the line - I'll use you as a warning sign - it's been used on the show already in 2.07 "Haunted" in the scene when Buck writes the goodbye letter to Abby and finally moves out of her apartment - but if you listen to the entire song, it literally screams Buddie -
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be Right in front of me... Talk some sense to me
And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge Of how much to give and how much to take I'll use you as a warning sign -
they just need another opportunity to use the song again with Buddie this time around and hey maybe the title was inspired by it!
the eyes are windows to the soul ♡

PRIDE MONTH CELEBRATION WEEK | day 5: Ship
I am, you know… What? Yours
ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
So, we all know that Eddie hated Buck so easily saying he was the one who should’ve been shot.
But can we take a minute to acknowledge how much it also hurt him? He’s not just exasperated. There’s a reason he’s so emotional talking about it later.
It’s absolutely gut wrenching to hear someone you love talk about themselves like they don’t matter. Like their life doesn’t matter. And Eddie has been listening to Buck’s self-deprecation for a long time.
This was just what finally broke him.
You know, camping is lovely - even though I don’t live in a state that’s so great for it
it is also worth noting that this will be used to cover up the inaction on the cost of living crisis. expect a bunch of "uk coming together to mourn the queen" bullshit soon when families are choosing between heating their homes and feeding their kids
