I need people to hear me out:

Colin Bridgerton is NOT this type of male lead:

He is this type of male lead:

And I love that.

“buck/eddie/tommy”

…. dont piss me off

I honestly think that with ABC, there's a real chance that Buddie can go canon. Why? Because it would be a smart move.

Look at Chenford from the Rookie, also an ABC show. From what I've heard, they weren't supposed to be together, but they saw the love the fandom had for them. Now they're canon.

The success of Chenford, which ended up being a slow burn ship, was wild. I had never heard of the show. Suddenly, I saw Chenford and the Rookie everywhere. I started watching The Rookie because of it and I know many others did as well. People love a good, torturously slow slow-burn couple.

No but seriously. Chenford going canon blew up my twitter and tumblr. If Buddie goes canon, fandom spaces will go WILD. What better way to attract new viewers? Spread the word about the show?

Canon m/m ships- specifically couples seem to be the most popular. This is kinda unfair because f/f ships deserve just the same amount, but it is what I've noticed. Aside from Chenford, I've only seen m/m ships blow up. Canon or not. People will watch a show if they know there is a canon m/m ship they can root for. (Specifically main characters, neither Josh or Michael really got the attention they deserved)

I feel like ABC has more rep or at least dares to do more than FOX. Look, I'm not American, but where I'm from FOX has a reputation for being old-fashioned and quite against representing anyone other than a straight white male - I was surprised Lone Star was a FOX show because of how much rep it has. ABC shows tend to have more rep, sometimes casual, sometimes explicit. They do big storylines - important ones. They're not afraid to talk about serious issues. And they're not afraid to focus on queer storylines (so I have hope Henren will get another storyline this season as well

Lastly, ABC isn't afraid of fan service. They see something the fans want? They'll write it. They seem to prioritize fans more than casual viewers - as they should, because in the end the fans are what keeps a show alive. Fans are the ones spreading the word and dedicating time and love to the show and it's characters.

I'm not saying it's a guarantee, and I am prepared for disappointment. I'm just saying, I see the step to ABC as a good thing. It makes the chance of Buddie canon just a little bigger.

Also, imagine them going down that route. Teasing feelings at the start, burning over a few episodes until they go canon. It would be a good 🖕 to FOX who didn't dare to go that route and it would be a banger of a start at a new channel. They could possibly make the best seasons. What a way to make an impression.

calling buddie shippers mlm fetishizers is crazy when we've been rooting for them, their friendship, and loving their trust in each other and their family dynamic with chris for 6 years. if anything... you know what, I'm gonna stay quiet 🤐

I have never loved Wilhelm more than the moment he got so stressed out he climbed on a table and just crouched up there while yelling at his mother like a little monarchy-ending gargoyle

You know what I really want from season 7? I want another Buddie blow up like the grocery store.

I want Eddie, whose done a whole lot of healing to yell at Buck that Buck needs to be back in therapy because he died and of course that's going to change him but he doesn't even recognize Buck sometimes anymore because Buck won't let Eddie in.

I want Buck yelling right back that Eddie's moved on with his life since the shooting, why won't he let Buck do the same after the lightning.

I want angry tears and confessions through gritted teeth. I want everything they've swept under the rug and not talked about to come spilling out in Buck's kitchen.

I want Eddie telling Buck with pain dripping from his voice that "I see you, I've always seen you, but now I don't think I know you anymore. You won't let me know you anymore."

I want Eddie leaving Buck's loft after he says it and tells him that he can still see Christopher, but maybe for now the two of them should just be coworkers because Eddie needs time and space before he can be Buck's best friend because he isn't sure he knows him anymore.

I want Eddie crying in his truck after the conversation and Buck crying on his new couch, clear that he doesn't find it comfortable. I want the episode to end on a shot of both of them crying in their own spaces, so clearly alone.

Then I want the next episode to be so clearly uncomfortable between them. They still work together seamlessly, but that's it. They're awkward and tense around each other, they can't even look at each other between calls. I want it to be 10x more awkward than their first couple shifts together. I want looks exchanged between the members of the 118 when Buck and Eddie aren't looking.

And then I want the episode to end with Eddie pacing around his living room, clearly torn and then grabbing his keys only to open the front door to Buck standing on his doorstep looking at Eddie's house key like he isn't sure he's still allowed to use it.

I want Eddie to hold Buck's face like it's something so fucking special and Buck to do the same. I want a kiss that's biting and angry that melts into something soft and tender.

Cut to them in Eddie's bed, the sheets a mess, the comforter on the ground and Buck says something like "You've always seen me, even the ugly bits that I don't want people to see. That's why I'm so scared"

And then Eddie kisses Buck soft and sweet and says something like, "There's nothing about you that's ugly Buck."

The episode ends with them starting round two.

Steph: Come on Dami, tell us who's your favorite sibling

Tim: Me. Obviously

Damian: Do you have a concussion right now, or has your caffeine habit finally caused brain damage?

Duke: Yeah unless you all were pulling my leg, Damian tried, and nearly succeeded, to kill you multiple times

Tim: Let me explain-

Damian: This ought to be good

Tim: When I started being Robin, Dick barely talked to me and now he calls me multiple times a week and we go train surfing once a month

Dick: Sorry about that. I was kinda going through....a lot

Tim: No problem. Then Jason damn near killed me and he says I'm his favorite brother. We play Smash Brothers and talk shit about you guys all the time

Steph: It's true, I've been over there a few times. There's also cake and plotting against our enemies

Tim: So I fully expect that Damian either will, or currently does, like me the best. After the second murder attempt I knew I was going to be his best man if he gets married

Damian: Oh No

Dick: What?

Damian: I just thought about it and if I had to pick a best man, it'd be a tie between you and Drake!

Tim: Just accept it. The more you try to hate me, the more you'll love me

not an explicit gay porn blog rb my post to say that bt is more intimate than buddie……

they’re also reblogging posts saying lou is responsible for the uptick in viewership as well as completely misrepresenting the network switch….

(also the referencing buddie shippers as “people” bc they’ve decided to completely dehumanize us meanwhile they are the ones doing the harassing of actors/crew… lfj was being called out on racist behavior, not being budllied bc poetry weren’t blowing sunchine up a nepo baby’s ass)

as well as reblogging multiple buddie/buddie shipper posts( @jackwhiteprophetic )and saying things like “you misspelled tommy” or using them to soundboard their love of oliver (which don’t get me wrong i love oliver and id much rather people speak positively about him than the delusional fucks who have been harassing him but coming from a bt shipper it always feels so off to me idk)

or blatantly saying buddie shippers are delusional while perpetuating this claim that buck (who has spent all of maybe 10 minutes of screentime with him) is completely head over heels in love with him

I’m sick of these people and i really hope the show doesn’t continue to just ignore everything they’ve done (especially for ryan and oliver’s sake) because these are the people who make fandom spaces toxic. these are the reasons tv shows/media refuses to acknowledge fan engagement (not that 9-1-1 is ignoring fan engagement). Tim Minear has been vocal about cakling out other people/groups in the fandom directly; he needs to keep that same energy and tell these people that they’re being the problem here.

I’m so sick of people trying to act like buddie hasn’t been THE ship for years while acting like this underdeveloped character and this likewarm representation of a ship are somehow the holy grail of queer media.

Not to mention the fact that I once got a flag on my account saying they deleted a post for “explicit nudity” because i had posted a picture w a shirtless guy in it, but they can post/reblog literal PORN and they’re just labeled as a “mature account” by tumblr.

(now im not a prude, i know porn/sex work is s real job, but tumblr can’t just pick and choose who it wants to allow to post porn or not)

but who knows; after all i’m just a delusional buddie shipper so 🤷
