it's worth it all this time

not secret relationship buddie but unspoken relationship buddie where they assume everyone knows but get foiled by their own history of breaking the boundaries of traditional boybestfriendship and general lack of explicit pda so when they get married everyone is under the assumption it's as bros until the vows

this is only for the sake of not clashing with the walls though. obviously.

I know people just want excuses to doom. But it's so funny to me that people genuinely believe that 911 can just write a woman between Buck and Eddie now and make it work. You mean you think there's a way to write a sane woman who will voluntarily start dating Eddie, when Eddie is not only co-parenting his teenager with his best friend, but also is co-parenting his single and very much bisexual best friend's toddler. There are support systems and then there is whatever they are setting up with buddie and Theo. It's not even just the backlash from buddie fans, it's from anyone with 2 braincells to rub together. There's a limit on how far you can take the "I'm Buck, this is my husband Eddie, that's our kids Chris and Theo, that's Eddie no last name girlfriend, this is my underdeveloped sexual partner" before it's just ridiculous. They were already bending to the point of breakage, Theo makes it insane. Like, genuinely. Like, the concept of introducing someone in S10, in the middle of buddie becoming a family of 4, would never fly because it would just be extremely underwhelming, no matter what they did. That's the thing with trying to compete with the best friends slowburn now. It's been 9 seasons of them. And now they are a family of 4. Anything else is gonna be unsatisfying.
