Some current thoughts about Buddie...

Scrolling through the Buddie tag recently (I really shouldn't do it too much 🙈😅) has been a lot of things from people writing about Buddie weddings to "how are people talking about buddie canon like that, I don't think they will happen at all..."

Feelings are valid, of course, but in both cases my personal thought is: Maybe try to chill a little, please? 😅

Pretty sure I find myself somewhere in the middle, definitely leaning towards optimistic.

Why you might ask? In my opinon, the writers aren't necessarily subtle anymore to make it clear to the general audience what they want to do. And the show is in a phase where it lets the audience hanging a little with Buck being like "In love with Eddie?", kind of defensively and weirdly denying it and then saying something like he understands T is threatened by what he and Eddie have. And some other honestly a bit crazy lines 🤭😃 But that was pretty much it for now, wasn't it? It needs to be followed up at SOME point. If they don't do that - what WAS the point of bringing it up?

This also goes for three mentions of Eddie's straightness (two times from his bi bestie in total defensiveness and one time from the mustache wearing mister himself) and the reactions to that - two from other gay men, the *scoffs* "okay" from one in specific 🤭😃

Sooo, my guess is they will have Eddie catch up a little in the remaining episodes. Or at least it's what I hope. (I've read opinions on this from several other Buddie fans and I agree that I would like to see Eddie get there before Buck realizes.)

I don't think Buddie will get together in season 8 just yet. With the renewal they will probably drag this out a bit more into season 9. Will they/won't they and more pining. Perhaps an almost kiss (I would be delighted, honestly).

I'm leaning more towards third party admission for one or both of them. I do think the audience will know, at least. (The promo has been there, too - at the beginning of the season, at New Year's, journalists see it, they were mentioned on another show (!) - to only name some.)

In my opinion, people are dooming more again (when do they not though 🙃🙂) because Eddie wasn't in 8x14 and there are only a few episodes left in season 8. Buck realized he likes men in ONE episode, right? I'm just saying. Technically it doesn't need much more for Eddie either, especially if he doesn't outright say anything, e. g. "I'm gay/into Buck/men", but they show or have him do or even say something that makes it clear.

That's where I personally stand right now. No dooming, but hardly any thoughts about a wedding yet either. I cannot bring myself to go there much when they aren't even together yet. In fact, I have barely read any fics where they get married, tbh. Engaged yes, but not married. Then again I'm not really a wedding kind of person. Happy when my ships do get there, but I won't be "screaming, crying, throwing up" about it 🙊🙈😅 (I say that now and then will probably be one of the first people to cry when Buck and Eddie, a queer slow burn ship on a network procedural show, emotionally exchange vows lolsob).

ImPatiently waiting for a first kiss (for now). 🤞🤞😇✌️🫶🌈

Ok after seeing the promo, what if Tommy sees Gerrard watching him as he is with Buck and he tries to be affectionate but Tommy pushes him away. He is putting himself back into the closet out of fear which upsets Buck to the point that they may part ways.
