Couldn't Post This Until I Got Out Of Work But On The Drive To Said Work, I Passed A Firehouse With A

I don't know if anyone else said this but in my sociology class we were learning how there were words in different languages that mean specific gestures and such. One word came up that made me think of Buddie. Mamihlapinatapai which from what I searched up means "To look at each other, hoping that either will offer to do something, which both parties much desire done but are unwilling to do."

I think they both know their romantic feelings for one another but haven't had the time to really think and act on it. They may sometimes try to tell the other through their actions like bumping shoulders or through their facial expressions like staring into each other's eyes with so much love. But it really isn't the time for either to verbally express how they feel as one is always having to deal with a traumatic experience.

OK IT'S LIKE MIDNIGHT RIGHT NOW BUT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING. WHAT IF SOMEONE WAS RECORDING THE 118 AT THAT BUILDING FIRE AND CAUGHT THE MOMENT BUCK WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. THEY FINALLY POST IT WHEN THEY FIND OUT HE SURVIVED AND IT GOES VIRAL. TAYLOR KELLY SEES IT AND THE NEXT DAY IT'S ON THE NEWS. THE TV JUST HAPPENS TO BE ON THE NEWS CHANNEL AT THE STATION AND EVERYONE SEES IT INCLUDING BUCK. BUCK SEES HOW EDDIE REACTED AND REALIZES HE'S THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY SEES HIM FOR WHO HE IS.

Theory that will probably not happen:

From what we are able to see, Eddie most likely hasn't been intimate since he found out about the nun thing. He will obviously be losing the two women he's been seeing and will probably be so pent up emotionally and sexually. Buck will be with him as he watches Christopher leave with his parents and try to comfort him with a hug and "what do you need from me?"

Eddie doesn't think about his actions as soon as he hears those words and just kisses Buck with all he's got. He breaks the kiss and says "remember when you said that you wished you could help? Well now's your chance." And the season ends.

Y'all, seeing the video of a buddie hug in the rain has me in fucking distress. I'm now trying to find songs they may use for that scene.

Buck sees Eddie's eyes as golden rivers that he drowns in every time they make contact. The flames they become when he desires, the dark pool that overflows with sorrow and anger.

Y'ALL I GOT MY ENGLISH PROFESSOR INTERESTED IN THE SHOW!

He had some questions about my essay comparing to real life and it resulted in us having a pretty long conversation about the show specifically. He said he'll check it out and start at the beginning to get a better understanding.

HOLY FUCK!

so i had a dream that i was watching 911 and eddie kissed buck and it felt SO real like dream me was watching the ep and yelling at the tv. so like. now i really can't be normal about buddie when are they gonna kiss!!!!!

I want to thank the person who made this as I almost started sobbing. 🥲 There's so many parallels with bathena and buddie it's crazy.

Here's a piece I had worked on for 2-3 years only because I couldn't get the skin tones right (don't mind the red smudges my sister got into my lipstick). My 'cursive' was 💩 and still is but I really like how it turned out. {There may or may not be another piece that I'm working on because fanart from a different fandom inspired me 🤫}

Ok but what if after the bachelor party, Buck and Eddie are in their hotel room wasted and they start talking about how Tommy got Buck to realize his sexuality. He mentions the kiss and Eddie is absolutely not thinking and goes "can you show me?" and without hesitation Buck grabs his chin and is about to do it before stopping (or he actually does it you decide) which starts the domino effect of them realizing those feelings.
