Can’t we just agree that in 7x04, Buck was seeking the attention of both Eddie and Tommy but in different ways? It took Buck until the end and talking with Tommy to realize exactly why he wanted Tommy’s attention, maybe even that he was looking for it at all.
I mean, you can’t dispute that he wanted Tommy’s attention, he literally went to the hanger, a place he never would have expected to see Eddie at all.
It was about Eddie and Tommy both. Buck saw himself potentially getting replace by Tommy. And Eddie was getting the time with Tommy Buck had been hoping for.
Can we let this argument go? Please 🥲 Can we let those who love Buck and Tommy love them, let them believe their endgame whether they are or not? Can we let the Buddie truthers continue to hold onto the hope for Buddie being endgame? Can we not be so hostile and negative? It’s honestly exhausting and toxic and so unnecessary.
Can we also get a better ship name than BuckTommy because that’s terrible and lazy 😅

I feel like many people misunderstand us, the unhinged, insufferable people with OTPs so. Here's a quick guide into the mind of an rabid buddie shipper.
I'm not clinging to buddie because I fail to see how awesome Buck's bi growth is. I AM BI!!! You think I don't get how awesome this bi character, this story arc, this bi representation is? Get out. Don't tell me, a bisexual how I should watch and experience a bisexual character. I drive my own brain, thanks.
And I know that it's possible to multi-ship. You don't need to tell me that!!
People need to understand that multi-shipping isn't some grand, epic personality trait that always comes with maturity, that the people who don't multiship are just wee dumb babies.
I may sound like I'm 14. I am not. I am very much not. I'm OLD. So old. And guess what that means? I know myself!!! That's maturity, too. And who I am... Is someone who falls hard, and obsessively.
I know I am just not built to be a multi-shipper. I have tried, sometimes. I have tried so hard. And realised, that's just not me. Multi-shipping is never as fun, and interesting or rewarding to me as focusing on my One True Pair. It just makes me feel suffocated, to attempt to like something I don't really find much joy in.
That doesn't mean that I hate the actors or characters who are "getting in the way" of my ship. Nope. I actually often adore the characters and actors, and the writing. I can also see and appreciate what some other character means for my OTP's growth.
Like in this case... Lou, playing Tommy? Not only do I love his acting choices (so funny, so skilled) but he also, he sounds like a lovely guy. I'm a fan!! Also, damn he's fine, I need a bucket for my drool.
And Tommy, the character...? I think the character is interesting - and don't get me started on "problematic", the shaming is futile. I am all in for fucked up, problematic characters. If you don't get why, you should really read some literary classics. Fucked up, problematic characters are art, they make you think, they broaden world-views. My best educators have been the monsters, and I will take this stand to my grave.
Demand for "unproblematic" is demand for censure, and censure is just another form of oppression. Want characters without flaws? Go watch Teletubbies. Ffs, even moomins have flaws. (Of course they do, Tove Jansson was a freaking amazing writer.)
Anyway. The point here is.
I am a mono-shipper. And I love slowburns, I love the romance of them, I get attached to ships. And I'm queer.
But where are the queer slowburns? I have been waiting for a slow-burn queer romance for so long. I CRAVE IT. Getting that, truly, would be queer history, a revolution.
And I see the potential for it in buddie!! The spark, the history, the journey. It has the potential to be the greatest queer slow-burn I've ever experienced.
You think I'd just abandon a ship like that, a slowburn like that, for some fast food, cooked up in what... Two episodes? Pffft. I invest. I am waiting for my roast to cook.
So yeah. I'm not going anywhere. I will watch, and let my freak flag fly, and I will have the time of my life. If buddie never becomes canon? Well so what. I can deal. It's not my first rodeo. Disappointment isn't actually deathly, you know. Trying to avoid disappointment kills hope, and enthusiasm. So yeah, I refuse to manage my expectations. I'm all in, and enjoying this mad ride.
"Well, I'd still take you."
"You think so?"
"I KNOW."

Eddie’s last words before he thought he was going to die were ‘are you hurt?’
To Buck. Worried that the man he’s built a life with is hurt. While he’s dying, that’s his biggest concern.
And he has the audacity to stand in his kitchen and say lmao no I don’t remember
In light of Oliver absolutely bodying us with the shooting buddie storyline of it all, I just cannot stop thinking about it. AND how overdue we are for the will to come up. Could it be what leads to the buddie of it all finally? I think yes.
