STRAIGHT UP FIC DIALOGUE????????

You know how everyone has heard a slightly different version of the same Greek myth? Like there’s a version we’re Icarus falls in love with Apollo and there’s a version were he knows the wings aren’t gonna hold but keeps flying anyway and a version were he doesn’t hear his fathers warning. In one version of the story, Athena is punishing Medusa, in another she’s giving her a gift. There’s a story where Hades kidnaps Persephone and one where he helps her escape from her mother. All the same myths but told in different ways depending on who tells them and to whom. Slightly different morals to gain from them but always the same basic concept.

And I just think it’s so fitting that the same is happening with the pjo show. Details change! In this version, Annabeth’s dad loves her from the beginning. In this version, they enter Medusa’s house knowing who she is. And this changes the meaning to reflect the time in which the story is told, and the people who tell it. Myths are meant to be retold again and again, thats the beauty of them. It doesn’t mean that one version is better than the other. And I love that Rick Riordan said I’ve told this story before, but what do I want to say this time? And he squeezes so much meaning into it!

You know what I really want from season 7? I want another Buddie blow up like the grocery store.

I want Eddie, whose done a whole lot of healing to yell at Buck that Buck needs to be back in therapy because he died and of course that's going to change him but he doesn't even recognize Buck sometimes anymore because Buck won't let Eddie in.

I want Buck yelling right back that Eddie's moved on with his life since the shooting, why won't he let Buck do the same after the lightning.

I want angry tears and confessions through gritted teeth. I want everything they've swept under the rug and not talked about to come spilling out in Buck's kitchen.

I want Eddie telling Buck with pain dripping from his voice that "I see you, I've always seen you, but now I don't think I know you anymore. You won't let me know you anymore."

I want Eddie leaving Buck's loft after he says it and tells him that he can still see Christopher, but maybe for now the two of them should just be coworkers because Eddie needs time and space before he can be Buck's best friend because he isn't sure he knows him anymore.

I want Eddie crying in his truck after the conversation and Buck crying on his new couch, clear that he doesn't find it comfortable. I want the episode to end on a shot of both of them crying in their own spaces, so clearly alone.

Then I want the next episode to be so clearly uncomfortable between them. They still work together seamlessly, but that's it. They're awkward and tense around each other, they can't even look at each other between calls. I want it to be 10x more awkward than their first couple shifts together. I want looks exchanged between the members of the 118 when Buck and Eddie aren't looking.

And then I want the episode to end with Eddie pacing around his living room, clearly torn and then grabbing his keys only to open the front door to Buck standing on his doorstep looking at Eddie's house key like he isn't sure he's still allowed to use it.

I want Eddie to hold Buck's face like it's something so fucking special and Buck to do the same. I want a kiss that's biting and angry that melts into something soft and tender.

Cut to them in Eddie's bed, the sheets a mess, the comforter on the ground and Buck says something like "You've always seen me, even the ugly bits that I don't want people to see. That's why I'm so scared"

And then Eddie kisses Buck soft and sweet and says something like, "There's nothing about you that's ugly Buck."

The episode ends with them starting round two.

#Pretends To Act Shocked

something about eddie starting the episode by saying he wants chris to choose him and ending the episode by saying ermmm acktually, i'm not giving you a choice you're my son! you're with me!! and the possibility for a parallel with buck and sitting, waiting, wanting buck to choose him and then saying, fuck it, you're coming with me, you're my wife!!!

Anne With an E! It's been a long time since I watched the series, but I finally made a fanart :> She's so precious ❤️ I was really happy drawing this xD (I'll seriously make every fanart I've left for later in the last years)

The cutest thing in the world is that they look so much like these characters, I love them.

I swear to god I started this days before the S08E08.

But I do love being correct about them calling each other. And Buck dumping pastries on Eddie.

Shout out to @fraddit, who has compiled an amazing reference set for Eddie's house, which I didn't end up using as much as I thought, except for the outside.

so i got a hate reply on this post

and as i usually do when i receive hate replies i did a perusal of their blog and it was the typical worship of t*mmy that you see from this groupd of fans but of course this post in particular caught my eye

the fact that this person unironically wished death on buddie fans and then proceeded to call us psychopaths.

because we don’t ship a ship that has no chemistry and barely any screentime.

and they even tagged their post incorrectly because that’s the only way they can get attention- by antagonizing.

i have never once intentionally mistagged a post so that someone would see it and get offended. common courtesy is a virtue not many people seem to have on this site. and the fact that you’re saying something so vile and hateful because someone doesn’t like a character who wasn’t even originally supposed to be a part of the season to begin with?

maybe that is a sign that you need to reexamine some things in your own life because behavior like this is worrying.
