this fourth of july I am coming out as a hater about fireworks. no more fireworks. fireworks are neither necessary nor good. they kill and harm birds and wildlife, they pollute the air, they are loud and unpleasant, they terrify my dog, and they trigger people's PTSD. I hate fireworks. can we please not do fireworks anymore

Something about buddie friends to engaged that I'm having fun chewing on right now, is the different reactions if someone asked them how long they were together before they got engaged. In this particular scenario, Eddie was the one who proposed, and Buck is in this giddy state showing off the ring Eddie got him the morning after, and Buck kinda freezes trying to figure out if 30 minutes is a crazy answer, and then Eddie is just like "eight years, took him a while to let me lock it down" very casually and Buck is just staring at him mildly offended. Because in one way it feels like the truth, but it's definitely not the truth. So Buck is like "you proposed 30 minutes after our first kiss" and Eddie like "I put you in my will, like, 6 years ago" "that's not the same" "it sure feels like it's been where we were always headed" "but I would know" "would you? because I tried to get you to understand I wanted to date you for a whole 6 months before you caught up" "you didn't ask" "watching you try to figure out what I was doing was more fun" "it took me minutes to be ready to marry you" "because we've been together in every other way for years" and Buck doesn't have a come back, because Eddie got him there, and the barista trying to hand them their coffee is questioning all their life choices.

the buzziest thing about buddie is how devoted they are to each other. buck wanted to live, but he wanted eddie to live more. eddie has shown repeatedly that he is kind to the people who hurt him, but he was ready to kill someone for buck. they were both ready to give up these big pieces of themselves just to make sure the other made it home.
