no buckley-diaz option.
gonna die on the hill that while buck is fine with his last name, he’s wanted almost from day one to be a diaz because to him the diaz boys are home. they’re in so many ways the only home that’s never hurt him. if he had the chance to leave behind all the burdens of being “the wrong buckley” to be a diaz he would do it in a heartbeat.
my brain every three minutes
That subtle, sexy as hell, queer as hell detail of Tommy tilting Buck's chin UP?
Hell yeah, Buck, that is a man kissing you.
okay but can you imagine how jealous and insecure eddie is going to be now that the shoe's on the other foot. because he has a lot in common with tommy. so much in common. it's like buck is dating eddie but without the trauma*. you cannot tell me he's not going to obsess over the fact that buck's bi awakening is happening with "eddie but hold the baggage." that buck is going to learn muy thai not from eddie - the guy buck knew who did it first - but from tommy.
*big ole asterisk cos tommy may very well have plenty of his own trauma but obvs that hasn't come out yet
I do not know what is happening in the 911 fandom but do you need me to call 911 for y’all
HELL YEAH!! BISEXUAL FIREFIGHTERS
no but...the way Tommy called him 'kid'....the gentle big hand on his chin pulling him into the kiss....the fact that Tommy is big and strong and DEFINITELY capable of manhandling him.....hnnnnng???
there is actually nothing more iconic than abc snatching up 911 after fox cancelled it, only for them to immediately have buck dump his girlfriend and then give him a bisexual arc. ✨
eddie is NOT going to catch buck and tommy on a date next episode ARE U FUCKING KIDDING ME. WHAT ROMCOM PLOT IS THIS. i thought we were DELUSIONAL????? WE'RE NOT DELUSIONAL
buck was very bothered and very bewildered but jesus christ after that kiss he was so HAPPY. like the clouds just parted and things made a little more sense. and now i have to cry about it for the rest of my life
As of April 4th, 2024, Evan “Buck” Buckley is officially a queer man.
I NEED TO REWATCH THAT KISS A BILLION TIMES IF YOU'LL ALL EXCUSE ME YEAH BOSS SORRY I GOTTA WATCH TOMMY AND BUCK KISS YEAH IT'S GONNA BE ALL WEEK
just. just. as a bisexual woman. as a bisexual who's had to endure YEARS of feeling slighted and other than and seeing rep which boils us down to sluts or cheaters or being indecisive this means everything to me. i can't quite articulate it right now but i'm in tears and its 2am and i'm a bit drunk. thank you tim and thank you oliver and i just. yeah. no words.
Oliver Stark I'm in love with you (x)
BI BUCK CONFIRMED FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay another unusual buddie take, I don't think the Eddie needs to choose, Buck needs to be chosen thing applies anymore. I mean sure, if they got together until like, season 4, it could go either way but I would prefer if it came from Eddie, but now, it's Buck starting it or nothing. Because here's the thing, we saw Buck in 4 romantic relationships and he didn't start any of them. Abby called him and he was per pressured by Athena and Hen and valentine's day to ask her out. Ali called him him, asked him out and she even picked his apartment. Taylor sent him the drink, she kissed him, she came back. Natalia asked him out and she came back. Like, if the whole things about the couch was about choice, dude still made no choices in his romantic life EVER. Buck needs to choose because he needs to do something for himself regarding love for once. There's the layer that I believe that Eddie is ready to take his feelings to the grave so he wouldn't try something if he wasn't sure and the only way for him to be sure is if Buck admits it, but in the end, Buck needs to go for something he wants for once.
okay but if i may add to this thought…
i would argue that things have developed since s4 because eddie already chose buck. that was the whole of the shooting arc. eddie chose buck and then he told buck in the loudest way he could that he chose buck with the will reveal.
and buck is on some level, i think, aware that he’s been chosen. he treats eddie as his stability and his safe space (and his sofa) in a way he never quite dared prior to the end of s4.
like. even down to the way he’s so instrumental to eddie’s confrontation with his ptsd and slow recovery in s5. that’s only possible because of how secure buck is in their dynamic. he isn’t afraid he’s pushing too hard. (compare that to the s3 fight club arc.) by the time s6 rolls around he’s so sure of what he has with eddie that he feels like he can ask for what he needs emotionally w/o worrying about being too much / coming off as ungrateful / etc.
eddie already chose. buck has already been chosen.
now it’s about buck acknowledging that someone finally chose him with their whole (bloody, scarred, broken hearted) chest and being brave enough to choose them back.
