Ok. So. I’ve been thinking…

Everyone involved from Tim to Oliver to Ryan has stated that they want to do the characters justice and tell a story “true” to the characters. IMHO there really isn’t a better story for Buck and Eddie in terms of character growth than them getting together.

Eddie has been constantly searching for a new maternal figure for Christopher and possibly even someone to just play “wife” with him so he can fulfill this heteronormative expectation of a having a traditional family unit that stems from his religious upbringing and what was modeled by his own parents. His identity and self image is that he’s a “nester, he nests”. He needs somebody to love. The rub is that none of his attempts to make that happen have made him happy. Buck is the solution to this. Buck is already a part of the family. What Eddie so desperately searches for in all of his failed relationships is what he already has with Buck and that does make him happy. He just doesn’t realize it yet.

Buck on the other hand is the opposite. Through his upbringing and trauma with his family life, Buck has felt neglected and unloved for a long time. In the earlier seasons, this manifests as hyper sexuality and a need to create intimacy with whoever he can project it on to. It’s quick and dirty and it does the trick for a little but it’s not satisfying and fulfilling the way he wants it to be. Buck needs to be loved. And his solution is Eddie. Buck has that lasting affection and intimacy with Eddie, and I’m not speaking sexually. What’s more intimate than having a key to someone’s house and being their child’s coparent/godparent? Buck also has the belief that he’s expendable and Eddie is the one to help him out of this mindset by making Buck Chris’s guardian in the event of death, which helps give meaning and weight to Buck’s self esteem because now Buck has a reason for self preservation: Chris. Also, Eddie is incredibly patient and kind when it comes to Buck. After the tsunami, Eddie sets Buck straight when he’s beating himself up about losing Christopher. Instead of being angry he lost Chris or just neutral and saying “it was out of your control”, Eddie actively reassures Buck in a positive way. Buck gets what he needs from Eddie. He just doesn’t realize it yet.

I saw something floating around that was really interesting and that I agree with: Eddie knows he loves Buck but doesn’t know he’s queer, and Buck knows he’s queer but doesn’t know he loves Eddie.

Whether or not they intentionally wrote them this way, whether they’re going for just box checking representation or shock value or fan satisfaction, what have you, the reality is that the product they currently have is currently set up in a way for them to do one of the most beautiful, unique, compelling queer love stories we have ever seen on network television. And I really hope they lean in to that.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk…

They aren’t fears oh gods

Ink5oul, Needles, Mr Bonzo

“Watch the case files”

They’re all externals

They’re all causing problems on purpose to create cases that need to be filed

They’re keeping the OIAR relevant.

They’re government workers.

i don’t think that jmart are trapped in the puter. i think it’s just their voices - but not just jonny’s and alex’s voices, but jon’s and martin’s

remember how in mag 65 tessa winters talks about how casette tapes being analogical is a common misconseption and how in actuality they are digital, just an old version of digital? i think that somehow, the tapes we know and love tangeled together with the puters (old digital merging with old digital, making it impossible to update (also, im pretty sure that tapes are the direct predecessor to floppy discs, they’re also both a kind of magnetic storage (it was never about analog vs digital but about magnets after all lmao))) and that’s how norris and chester sound like jmart - their voices are the most common on the tapes after all. i think that tma’s ending will remain sort of open, and that norris and chester are not martin and jon, but merely an echo, a small part of them.

#enjoy my thoughts from january #still stand by this mut so much more has happened lmao #now we do know that there might be more going on with celia being there and jon sending emails and whatnot #tmagp #the magnus protocol #*but not mut #i’ve connected the dots #you didn’t connect shit #i’ve connected them #cringing around

Wait a second in a few years is the tunnel of love scene where Percy pulls Annabeth out of the water gonna be paralleled with the curse of Achilles scene in The Last Olympian where a vision of Annabeth pulls Percy out of the River Styx?

house: this has absolutely nothing to do with wilson

also house: [brings up wilson unprompted] [spends 95% of the session either talking about wilson or deliberately avoiding talking about wilson] [literally admits it’s about wilson]

#yes they set it up as though the true root cause was cuddy in the end #but I beg you to consider that 1) house agreed to seriously unpack his feelings of rejection re: wilson in relation to his exacerbated #drinking & the bar fight #and 2) the patient of the week deliberately evoked moments from house’s head/wilson’s heart #with particular emphasis on the brain surgery #which was the one time that wilson ever put house second to someone else #specifically a girlfriend #AKA the exact curveball that house has just been thrown for a second time (albeit in a less grave context)#nolan suggests that house punished the patient’s husband the way he’s punishing himself because they’re both losing someone they love #yes we could assume that his alcoholism was made worse by cuddy and lucas’s commitment #but also… house started drinking himself into blackouts when sam and wilson got together. not when cuddy and lucas got together #which reminds me — the last time that house sought out getting trashed at the bar #was when WILSON AND AMBER GOT TOGETHER. this is a pattern for him.#he goes out and destroys himself when wilson becomes seriously romantically involved. ERGO…. this whole thing WAS abt wilson #I’ve connected the dots #house md #greg house #gregory house #hilson #james wilson #house/wilson #hatecrimes md #that ‘say it’ was literally him asking nolan to call him a f—
