Some Of Them Clearly Got The Point Of Tim's Call-out.

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.

The cutest thing in the world is that they look so much like these characters, I love them.

#Guess who's the only one allowed to stay

BUCK: I love the term 'partners'. Are we dating? Are we robbing a bank? Are we two supposedly straight firefighters who are raising a child together? Who knows.

Violet to Colin: "You're one of my most sensitive children."

The fandom: "How can she say that! Anthony, Benedict bla, bla bla..."

Colin is ONE of her most sensitive children. ONE, just ONE of them. And she's right.

ONE OF HER MOST SENSITIVE CHILDREN

He was the only one who indulged Violet and let her introduce him to debutantes in s1, while Anthony fucked his mistress and Ben went to orgies.

He was a complete gentleman with Marina. AND defended her when Anthony implied something about her.

And when he learned the truth, he confessed that he would have married her if she had told him the truth. 🥹

He danced with Pen after Cressida bullied her.

He wrote dozens of letters that his family of 8 could not care to respond to often. There are 8 of them!

He worried about Ben in s2 and supported him on his application to the Academy.

He learned the truth of Jack Featherington and instead of simply leaving, he did something about it. Not only did he help the Featherington family, but he saved other lords from being scammed.

He apologized to Will, explained why he acted rudely AND made amends to repair the damage by bringing men to Will's club.

He returned with gifts for everyone, but he seemed particularly thoughtful to his sisters and mother. A perfume for Hyacinth, music for Francesca, and a book for Eloise 🥹. Violet was so moved by his gift and here we have a lovely headcanon on the watch:

Then with Pen...

He runs after Pen, despite other men wanting to know about his adventures.

He acknowledges his mistake and immediately tries to apologize to Pen in the Four Seasons Ball.

The next day, he comes back with a heartfelt apology.

Then, he offers her help, despite the risk of scandal and embarrassment for him. He knows Pen has no one else.

He goes to see Pen at night to make sure she's ok. And when she asks him for a kiss, he does it so sweetly.

He is brave enough to leave the men who just want to know about his sexual life.

HE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO ASK, as soon as he put himself together and understood his feelings. He didn't play jealousy games like others, he went and put his heart on the table. He didn't even know about Pen's feelings and he risked it!

Some extracts from Colin's journals show that his family is always in his thoughts.

You can see why Violet, as the good mother that she is, can tell how sensitive he is.

Colin travels during the summer and comes back during the season to be with his family. It angers me that people think he's selfish for this when Benedict also abandons the family to fuck.

And yet, both Colin and Ben are sensitive. BOTH OF THEM, Francesca too. I wouldn't call Hyacinth or Gregory sensitive right now, and before s3, I wouldn't include Eloise either.

Anyway, I needed to get this out because I am so fucking tired of Kanthonies and Benophies making tantrums about this line.

I'm sure when s4 comes, we are going to see a moment between Violet and Ben where she acknowledges how amazing he is and everything he has done for the family. But not now, because this is COLIN'S SEASON.

(NOTE: If you are thinking of reblogging this post with the tag #Colin is the most sensitive, kindly fuck off. I made this post to fight the Kanthonies and Benophie that are attacking Colin, not to validate your own need to make Colin superior to other characters. HE IS ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE CHILDREN, ONE)

Listen Tim Minear and Ryan Murphy.

I don't think that I could possibly get any more impatient waiting for Buddie Canon, so you might as well make it happen in 2025.

Thanks y'all!

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.
