welcome to buddie break down hours a dedicated chunk of time during the night where i clown over buddie... feel free to clown with me
break down of the night (for now): the infamous elf scene
question 1: WHY ON EARTH WAS BUCK AT THE MALL WITH EDDIE AND CHRIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!?
question 2: why does eddie care so much what buck thinks about the whole shannon situation??? like he practically begs for buck's reaction...
not a question but i will never stop loving eddie for making sure that people know he left first (yes to reenlist and provide) because it just shows his heart for making sure people have an accurate representation of shannon
and i think that owning up to that to people outside of his immediate family (who already know what happened) would me unimaginably difficult because it could possibly change their perspective on who eddie is as a person.
furthermore, i would like to bring attention to the fact that buck is the first person in la that eddie trusts enough to tell this (at least i think) which really demonstrates the depth of their developing relationship at this point.
eddie goes out on a limb to reveal a flawed part of his past to buck trusting that buck will not negatively react. obviously as the audience we know that buck wouldn't react in a negative way because we have a more clear view on who buck is in terms of his beliefs.
then, as we know, buck provides eddie with just the right questions to truly process through what bringing shannon back into christopher's life would mean without jumping on eddie for his past. buck in this moment proves himself as the most important relationship eddie has in la.
essentially, this entire conversation provides the backbone for all the conversations they have had in s3 thus far and demonstrates why even if buck has presumably the least in common with eddie in terms of life stages he's the person that eddie continues to go to for advice.
now that i am done with my essay on the development of buddie, back to the regularly scheduled clowning
question 3: how can anybody try to say that buck doesn't have feelings for eddie based off of this look???? he is so clearly falling for this man (if he hasn't already).
question 4: why the smile on his face??? like once again you cannot convince me that evan buckley does not have feelings for eddie diaz especially based on this smile.
don’t even get me started on the little skip he does but actually do because question 5: the skip... why? if buck isn’t not at least half way to the realization that he is in love with eddie then why does the thought of being christopher’s dad do this???
finallyish the question that has been in my drafts for months, question 6: will buck ever acknowledge what the elf said out loud to eddie??? and question 6.5: if not, then why???
question 7: will we ever get a parallel scene where an elf says this to eddie???
question 8: how would eddie react in this situation???
i think we have come to the end of my questions... sadly... stay tuned for future buddie break down hours :)
