finally sharing me and @pock-o-pea's secret 13hr buddie playlist, because i have spent an actual embarrassing amount of hours sorting it into chronological order & making a google sheets tracklist to show where the seasons separate (along with povs, links to vids & lyrics)
I just feel connected to everybody. Some connections are made with wires. And some are made with blood. And some are made with bone. And some are made with wood. But they all matter. And they, even in this dark, dark cave, they make every day a smiley day.
I just feel really happy for Buck, because itās this moment of clarity. Heās obviously been searching for something, and this wouldnāt have even been one of his guesses. But then it happened, and he was like, āOh,Ā thatĀ was the thing.ā ā Oliver Stark
Fantasy High: Junior Year Episode 3
Elven Oracle, ladies and gentlemen
I know thereās been a few posts on it already, but godsdamn Travis was clutch in last nightās game
Not Chetney. Chetney didnāt do shit. (jk)
But Travis Willingham. the player. the CEO. the fan.
He got his shit absolutely ganked in round 1. Fully dead. Before he got a turn. Iāve seen players rage quit after that. Hell, iāve been a player that rage quit after that.
And he hung around, making jokes and talking strategy until he was like āooh, a burgerā and got his noms on until he was brought back up
When a TPK looked imminent, he told Matt it was okay. He knew they could move on, even from that. He was a calm and comforting presence at the table.
when Sam pulled the hail mary, he was the only one not yelling, crying, or both. He, in the moment, let his appreciation for the big move and the killer story beat shine through.
Travis did a hellova job last night, and it was easy to see why he captains the ship, and heās someone i strive to be like as a player, a gm, and a friend
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING CO-SIGNED.
I need someone to dance with.
tommy (at this point already casually dating buck) hanging out with eddie and calling him out on his feelings
alternatively eddie last minute helping maddie before the wedding and maddie calling him out on his feelings
or both
both? both. both is good :D i hope you enjoy it, it got a little long haha! if you want to send me a buddie prompt, click here!
Tommy is the first one to bring it up.
They're finishing up on the basketball court, and everyone has filed out by this point, leaving the two of them alone. Tommy is driving Eddie back anyhow, and today was an intense game, so they're taking their time.
Why Tommy chooses to bring it up before the car ride, Eddie doesn't know. But what a way to make it awkward.
"Hey, man I need to tell you something," he says as they return to the car. "So you're not blindsighted when it happens."
"Everything okay?" Eddie asks, clearly concerned.
"Well, not really." he lets out a tired laugh. "Uh...I'm going to be breaking up with Evan. I wanted to tell you so that, you know, you could do what you do and be there for him."
Shocked, Eddie steps in front of Tommy, "Wait, what? I thought things were going great with the two of you." he feels his gut twist uncomfortably - the last thing Eddie wants in the whole world is to see Buck hurt again. "Tommy, come on, Buck is great. He's amazing. There's not a thing about him to not like."
Tommy scoffs, "Believe me, Eddie, I know that."
OMG I GET TO PROMPT YOU
Buck/Tommy are happy and have been dating, and Tommy's the one that tells Buck he can't give Buck what he wants
And he also tells him (kindly and sweetly) that Buck already has what he wants and has had it for years
AND MAYBE INCLUDE THAT RESOLUTION WITH A BUDDIE SCENE AT THE END? PLEASE?
HELLO LOVE here you go :) send me a prompt here!
āI donāt understand,ā Buck says softly, trying very, very hard not to cry. āI thoughtā¦I thought I was doing everything right this time.ā He laughs, a pitiful, horrible thingāright Buckley, like you can do anything right.Ā
āHey,ā Tommy places a hand on his - theyāre in the loft, and Tommy has just broken up with him. āBuck, really, itās nothing that you did. Not really. I just donāt think itās going to work out for us.ā
āBut why?ā he presses. āWeāve been okay. We havenāt even fought.ā
Tommy sighs, looking at Buck so kindly, which makes this a million times worse. āI canāt give you what you want.ā
āThatās not true!ā he exclaims. āItās not. I really like you, Tommy, this, we can fix this, I can fix this.āĀ
āEvan, hey, stop.ā Tommy touches the side of his face. He is being so gentle with him, so fucking gentle, that Buck does, in fact, start to cry. āThis isnāt on you at all. Itās not on either of us, not really. I just...am not the right guy for you, thatās all.ā
Buck shakes his head. āSeems like no one ever is.ā
Tommy smiles that sweet smile that he has, and looks at Buck with kindness, and true sincerity, and that makes Buck feel a thousand times worse. āEvan, the things you want? Family? Security? Love? Itās all right in front of you. You just canāt see it.ā He leans back. āBut donāt worry, because neither can the other guy.ā
āOtherāwhat?ā Buck wipes his eyes. āWhat are you talking about?ā
Tommy sighs, and shakes his head. āEddie, Iām talking about Eddie.ā
let's talk about how gentle Tommy was with Buck. obviously he wasn't sure if Buck is into guys, he picked up on Buck flirting but he couldn't be sure so they both tip-toed around with questions and then Buck brought up Eddie again and Tommy is surprised that Buck was trying to get "his attention?". so then he just said fuck it and just kissed him and immediately quietly asked if that was okay and when Buck confirmed it was he went straight back to confident and asked him out and idc what any of you say as long as Tommy stays this gentle and kind to Buck he is his perfect first queer love. yea i want buddie too at some point but i'm so happy with what we have now.

eddie and chris having a whole convo about tommy, and then eddie's feelings realization when chris starts talking about buck after in comparison (bonus: buck walks into the house and overhears)
thank you for the prompt! i hope you like it :) you can request one here!!
Eddie smiles tenderly as Chris recounts the time he spent with Tommy, while Eddie was out doing groceries. In the forty-five minutes that he had been gone, it seemed like he had a lot to say on the matter, going on and on about how fun he is, and how awesome he is, and how much Chris loves spending time with him.
"I'm glad you like him, kid," Eddie chuckles, moving around in the kitchen while Chris works on his homework at the table. "He's pretty cool."
"Well, not as cool as Buck, but yeah, pretty cool." Christopher agrees.
"You shouldn't compare Chris." he replies, looking over his shoulder. He's in the middle of making them enchiladas, which Chris is weary about, but Eddie is determined to make just right. Buck is coming over for dinner, and Eddie really wants to impress him.
Once, Frank asked him why it was so important to do these little things for Buck, the way Buck does for him. Eddie remembers feeling uncomfortable about the question - he doesn't know why that comes to mind right now.
MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN
and i wake up.
