Buck & Eddie
Tumblr media
S7??? S6??? S5???
Who knows where this is from but IMO, based on Eddie’s beard, it looks like S5.
But who knows?
BTS???

ok but what if we start s5 with carlos undercover, that would be so dramatic and fun right up until we get a they cross paths on a scene moment, a he turned away, keeping his expression stoic even as he felt his husband's gaze burning into him and every fiber of his being screamed at him to turn around moment, because then i would fucking Lose It

"Even the stronger snap eventually"
This line Athena said to May on latest episode terrifies me so much...
Tumblr media
if we think about it, we have seen Bobby struggling for almost 2 seasons straight so far.
As Athena said he is the shoulder everyone leans on.
In season 5A, Bobby supported Athena through Harry's kidnap and the post consequences of it with Harry's behavior
In season 5B, Bobby supported and looked after Eddie through the PTSD problems.
In season 6A, Bobby was once again supporting Athena through her investigation on Tania's case, a personal case to Athena. Also once he was back to LA, he tried to make up for putting so much stress on Hen.
In season 6B, Bobby was there the whole time praying for Buck even though he has been emotionally vulnerable and hyper-fixated on Wendell's death...
Tumblr media
Bobby has been a constant supporting figure to people around him for 2 seasons straight... However the struggle to maintain himself on that role has also been present and exponentially increasing through the same amount of time.
Bobby almost relapsed at the end of S5 due the dispatch fire being triggering and the guilty he felt over letting Jonah in his station.
This season started with Athena mentioning Bobby was having problems with the temptation. His "vacation mode" was basically him creating a distraction for himself.
Honeymoon gets cancelled due Samuel's health problems.
Bobby accidentally digs a kid's body remains in Athena parent's house foundation and supports his wife through the entire investigation (he put himself at gunpoint like twice on that).
Back to LA, Hen is basically about to leave the team what makes him probably need to rearrange the team once again and finding someone new after what happened with Jonah certainly would be a pressure on him.
Karen's lab explodes and he is worrying about getting Hen her wife back.
Bobby finds the body of his sponsor who died carbonized in suspicious manners (2nd time finding a body this season).
Buck gets hit by a lightning and ends up on a coma...
Now he is about to be falsely accused of arson and the Minnesota fire weaponized against him...
At this point I wonder how much they will keep beating on this man before he eventually snap for real... Because that Athena line is certainly a foreshadow... be this season or in a future one...

Eddie’s starting and ending the season in a suit.
What if we get a parallel to that guy referring to Ana as Chris’ mom with one of henren’s friends saying something along the lines of “you and your partner have an adorable son” (and this time eddie doesn’t panic)
WHAT THEN HUH

So I was watching 5x01 and 5x02 again and omg the potential foreshadowing in the hospital helicopter crash for May Day is actually pretty intense!!
In May Day - we know there’s a big fire. we know there must be an electrical problem and that it appears the sprinkler system etc doesn’t kick in. we know Eddie smashes a window. We know he also goes back into firefighter mode and has something to do with helping Bobby (or maybe it’s the opposite and Bobby helps Eddie). we know Bobby rescues may. We know that there’s a team up between the Han brothers and a damaged floor or possibly a roof (especially likely if they’re trying to parallel Kevin!)
- helicopter pilot - gives the May Day call and says ‘we’re coming in hot’
The back up generator doesn’t start up
Eddie is the one who says ‘the generator should’ve kicked in automatically, somethings wrong’
Buck is the one sent to get the tools to fix the generator - to get the electric back up and running
There’s Eddie and a smashed window and almost falling through a door
Bobby rescuing a heart so it can get to where it’s meant to be and being a bit reckless in the process
Eddie and buck are the ones to go off and get the generator back up and running
Then there’s the fact it’s on the roof!
I’m not imagining these parallels am I?!!!

I'm thinking we may not be done with Taylor yet. A couple of things crossed my mind after these past episodes.
One, there's the bracelet Buck gifted to her. I feel that will play a part in their storyline and I don't think we'll see it next week in the finale.
Next, I think despite her actions in Hero Complex I don't think she's completed her story arc just yet. She hasn't quite learned a lesson about her dangerously ambitious desire to find the truth. I am waiting to see how Buck confronts her on this but until it effects her personally (and I mean her person because I seriously believe she thinks Buck will forgive her for this or she'll talk him out of doing anything drastic like breaking up with her), she won't understand what the cost of her actions are, not yet.
Face it, she can be a very selfish person. Her quest for the truth isn't just because the people must know, but that she has to know. What she did put Buck's family out there and could've put Hen and Chim in more danger if Buck hadn't of caught her earlier.
Until her own life is in danger I think she is going to keep poking her nose in things. And once something does happen, wouldn't it be a strange but justified twist if Buck finally said to her what Ali said to him?
I don't know what's going to happen next week, I'm probably way off with this theory. Who knows? But what an amazing episode!

I totally forgot about him mentioning 5x14 now I am excited all over again!!! <3
Do you think he just likes the ep for the other characters or are they leaving something Buck related intentionally out of the synopsis?
well iirc he said he liked 5x13 and 5x14 because they’re “cool for the characters”
now i assume they get the full episode scripts so it COULD just be that he read it and liked what was happening for eddie and maddie (seems like it’ll be focusing on them a bit from the synopsis, which. hell yeah!) buuuut remember that still of buck in christopher’s room? that’s apparently from 5x14 too so i definitely think that he’s more involved than the synopsis makes it seem. and i can’t wait to find out how much so!!!! is he gonna be with chris while eddie’s at therapy? is he spending time with both diazes so we get a new buckley-diaz family scene? it kind of looks like a serious talk so i can’t wait to cry about it dkfjkd

What’s your theory on the shard of glass?
Hi Nonnie,
I don't really have one, it just made me feel really uneasy. Something about walking on broken glass, how disturbed Bobby is about how Jonah did his crap right under his nose. The obvious suspiscion we're supposed to have is that he's going to relapse but I've been worried since 4A that they will either kill or maim Bobby to the point that he quits/retires. Something something mentor is gone so the crew struggles to find their footing, something something.
Idk. I just have a bad feeling. I hope I'm wrong!

Season 3
Tumblr media
3x1 “Kids Today” During Buck’s welcome back to the 118 party, Christopher gave Buck a card he made for him and he told Buck that was a picture of the two of them on the front of the card.
Tumblr media
Eddie took Christopher to Buck’s loft to cheer him up because he was depressed about not being able to go back to work.  When Buck asked why Christopher was there, Eddie said, “He’s hanging out with his Buck today because I have to go to work”.  Buck asked where Carla was and Christopher said she was in Morongo.  Eddie told Buck to take Christopher out, have some fun and he would learn something. After Eddie left, Buck asked Christopher, “So what do you like to do for fun?”
Tumblr media
3x1 “Kids Today” - 3x2 “Sink or Swim” Buck took Christopher to the pier and they played games and rode some of the rides.  While they were sitting on a bench talking, Buck asked Christopher what he wanted to be when he grew up and Christopher replied, “An astronaut or a pirate” then Buck said, “Those are some good choices. Cool outfits too”.  Then Christopher said, “No wait, a firefighter”.  Buck replied, “Yeah, me too”.
Tumblr media
3x2 “Sink or Swim” Buck told Christopher that he hoped he could find something he loved to do if the career paths he chose didn’t work out because if he did, he would find something he loved and that mattered which would show him the rest of his life. Christopher said, “You’re going to be ok kid” and touched Buck’s chin.  Buck looked over his shoulder and noticed all the water was gone and Christopher asked, “Where did all the water go?” Buck picked up Christopher and told everyone to run. He put him in a booth and then jumped in with him as the Tsunami waves crashed into the pier and submerged everything under water.
Tumblr media
Buck was submerged in the water but after he emerged, he started calling for Christopher.  Christopher responded while he was holding onto a pole and Buck told him to stay there but after he tried to reach him, he missed. Christopher told Buck, “I can’t hold on” and Buck went under water and swam to save Christopher.
Tumblr media
Eddie had no idea Christopher and Buck were caught in the Tsunami the entire time they were down there.  He showed Hen and Chimney a selfie Buck took of him and Christopher while they were having breakfast.  After Buck saved Christopher, he put him on top of the 136’s ladder truck and Buck pulled himself on top of the truck too.  Buck said, “You good Chris?” and Christopher said, “Yep. I took surfing lessons” and Buck replied, “Well maybe you could teach me”.
Tumblr media
Buck rescued several people and brought them to the ladder truck and while they all waited to be rescued, Buck spent time talking to, playing games with and caring for Christopher.  Buck told him, “You amaze me buddy” and Christopher asked “Why?”  Buck explained how he got some bad news about his job and how he didn’t want to get out of bed because of it.  He then said, “But you, after the day you’ve had, here you are with a big smile and busting a gut. You never gave up. Even when that water came rushing over you back there you just kept on swimming”.  Christopher said, “Like Dory?” Buck said, “Like Dory. Not just today but every day. You never say no, you never complain. How do you do that?” Christopher explained how it didn’t work the one time he complained and after Buck asked him what he did, he said he kept on swimming.
Tumblr media
Christopher fell off the ladder truck while Buck was trying to help other people when the Tsunami waves started to recede. Buck jumped off the truck while calling for Christopher so that he could search for him.
Tumblr media
3x3 “The Searchers” Buck spent the rest of the day and well into the nighttime searching for Christopher.  When he made it to the VA, he saw Eddie but he was scared to tell him what happened.  Eddie saw him first then Buck told Eddie what happened and while they were talking a woman appeared carrying Christopher.  She asked Eddie, “Are you Buck?” and he said, “No, I’m his father Eddie”. She then said, “He was looking for Buck” and Eddie looked at her.  He and Buck had a silent conversation while the 118 asked Buck what happened to him.  Buck collapsed after he saw that Christopher was safe.
Tumblr media
Eddie took Christopher back to Buck’s loft so that he could care for him again while Eddie went to work. Buck told Eddie that he failed them because he lost Christopher but Eddie told him that he saved Christopher and that’s how Christopher remembered it.  Eddie told Buck, “There’s nobody in this world I trust with my son more than you” after he explained how he knew Buck loved Christopher enough to never stop trying just like he does. He then told Buck to take Christopher to the zoo that day because it was located inland.
Tumblr media
3x5 “Rage” Eddie yelled at Buck in the grocery store because the lawsuit Buck filed prevented them from being able to talk to each other.  Eddie said, “Do you know how much Christopher misses you? How could you, you’re not around”. Buck replied, “I didn’t realize that. Maybe I could come and visit Christopher, the lawsuit doesn’t prevent that”.
Tumblr media
3x9 “Fallout” Buck apologized to Eddie for not being there for Eddie and Christopher when they needed him.  He said, “I’m sorry I wasn’t there Eddie. You and Chris needed me and I had my head so far up my own behind with that stupid lawsuit”.  After they were done talking, Eddie, Buck and Christopher played video games and Eddie said, “This is my kind of therapy”.
Tumblr media
3x10 “Christmas Spirit” Eddie looked at Buck with heart eyes as he watched Buck build gingerbread houses with Christopher and Denny.  Then Christopher asked Buck, “Can I spend Christmas with you?” 
Tumblr media
Buck worked with Athena to organize the Christmas party at the firehouse so that Eddie and Christopher could spend the holiday together.
Tumblr media
3x11 “Seize the Day” Eddie told Chimney about the family he chose while Buck and Christopher horse played on the couch.  Buck told Maddie, “This is Eddie’s house I’m not really a guest”.
Tumblr media
3x12 “Fools” Buck and Eddie discussed Christopher’s skateboarding incident and they built him an adaptable one. Buck and Eddie helped Christopher ride the skateboard at the park.
Tumblr media
3x15 “Eddie Begins” Eddie got trapped in The Well, Buck screamed, cried and tried to dig him up with his bare hands.  Eddie’s flashbacks included a lot of Christopher and Buck.
Eddie changed his will after The Well and named Buck to be Christopher’s legal guardian but he didn’t tell anyone.
Buck & Christopher After Eddie changed his will
Tumblr media
3x18 “What’s Next?” Buck stressed over Christopher going to summer camp for two weeks. Eddie said, “It’s only two weeks” and Buck said, “Woah! Two weeks away from home? What if he gets homesick?”  Buck, Eddie and Christopher along with the rest of the 118 attended May’s graduation party.
Season 4
Tumblr media
4x3 “Future Tense” Buck and Christopher played video games while Eddie stressed out over Hildy’s technological advancements.  Christopher asked Buck if they could go to his house and play video games while Eddie gave Buck the ‘you’re supposed to back me up face’.  Afterwards Buck and Christopher pranked Eddie with a Hildy coffeemaker.
Tumblr media
4x8 “Breaking Point” Eddie told Christopher he started dating again but Christopher got upset, ran away and took an Uber to Buck’s loft.  Buck and Christopher talked and Buck promised Christopher that he wasn’t going anywhere.
Tumblr media
4x10 “Parenthood” Buck and Eddie said “No!” in unison when Chimney asked a victim’s parents if they both could be good cops.  Buck said children shouldn’t be on the receiving end of too much discipline and Eddie said, “I’d like to know what your idea of too much discipline is.”
Tumblr media
4x13 “Suspicion” Eddie got shot by a sniper and Buck saved his life.  In 4x14 “Survivors” Buck went to talk to Christopher about Eddie and he cried after he received Bobby’s text message that Eddie had made it through surgery.  Christopher said, “It’s going to be ok Buck” and they cried and consoled each other.
Tumblr media
Buck stayed at Eddie’s house with Christopher and took care of him.
Tumblr media
After Eddie woke up from his coma, Buck called Christopher on Facetime so that Eddie could talk to him and after the call ended, Eddie asked Buck how Christopher was doing and Buck said, “Better than me. I kind of lost it when I told him you got shot. I’m sorry, I know I should have kept it together”.  Eddie replied, “You were there for him when I couldn’t be and that’s what matters”. Buck then said, “Still. I think it would have been better for him if I was the one who got shot”.
One year later and Eddie finally told Buck about the change he made to his will
Tumblr media
Before Eddie was discharged from the hospital, he told Buck about the change he made to his will.  He told him, “No one will ever fight for my son as hard as you and that’s what I want for him”.  When Buck asked Eddie why he waited a year to tell him about it, Eddie said, “Because Evan, you came in here the other day and said it would have been better if it were you who had been shot. You act like you’re expendable but you’re wrong”.
Buck & Christopher After the reveal
Season 5
Tumblr media
5x2 “Desperate Times” Christopher and Ana visited the firehouse to bring Eddie three types of salads. Eddie picked up and hugged Christopher then walked him down past the firetruck.  Buck and Ravi joined them but Buck picked up and hugged Christopher the exact same way Eddie had done a few seconds earlier. While enroute to a call, Eddie told the 118 that Buck takes Christopher to the zoo all the time and that he had the whole place memorized.
Tumblr media
5x3 “Desperate Measures” Buck asked Eddie if he told Christopher he was coming home.  Eddie broke up with Ana once he made it home.
Tumblr media
5x6 “Brawl in Cell Block 9-1-1” Buck and Eddie were held hostage by two escaped convicts, Mitchell and Dom.  Mitchell threatened Buck, Eddie and Christopher’s lives and after he read off Eddie’s home address from his driver’s license, Buck stepped up and he got whacked over the head with the butt of Dom’s gun for it.  After they arrived at the hospital, Mitchell said he would shoot Buck, Eddie and then go to Eddie’s house and shoot Christopher.  Eddie said, “Buck!” so that Buck would exit the ambulance.
Tumblr media
5x10 “Wrapped in Red” Buck and Eddie had a conversation about Christopher’s nightmares.
Tumblr media
5x11 “Outside Looking In” Buck, Eddie, Christopher and Taylor had dinner at Eddie’s house.  During dinner, Christopher and Buck joked about Eddie’s cooking because he had just learned how to cook.
Tumblr media
5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia” Christopher called Buck after he heard Eddie smashing the furniture in his room. Buck rushed over and when he arrived, he asked Christopher “Are you ok?’ and Christopher said, “He won’t come out. I keep calling him but he won’t answer”.  After Buck broke down Eddie’s bedroom door, he talked with Eddie then put Christopher to bed.  He met Eddie in the dining room so that they could continue talking.
Tumblr media
5x14 “Dumb Luck” Buck took Christopher to school while Bobby stayed at Eddie’s house so that he wouldn’t wake up alone.  Buck took care of Christopher while Eddie was at therapy.  Buck and Christopher drew hearts while Eddie was gone but the heart Buck drew was a Valentine’s Day type of heart that he drew specifically for Eddie.
Tumblr media
Buck took Eddie and Christopher to Equine Therapy so that Christopher could work with and ride the horses while Buck helped Eddie realize their jobs as firefighters were worth it.
Tumblr media
5x17 “Hero Complex” Buck and Eddie had a conversation, while inside of Christopher’s bedroom, about Eddie and Christopher going to El Paso for Eddie’s dad’s retirement party.
After Buck stepped into Eddie’s and Christopher’s lives in 2x4 “Stuck”, Buck and Eddie started building The Buckley-Diaz Family.  Buck started co-parenting Christopher with Eddie not long after they became work partners and Buck assumed that role before Eddie’s estranged wife returned in 2x7 “Haunted”.  He was still in that role in 2x10 “Merry X-mas” when he told Eddie how much he admired Christopher and that’s also when one of Santa’s elves told Buck he and Eddie had an adorable son.  Buck had been in the role of co-parent for almost two years before Eddie changed his will and his relationship with Christopher got stronger.  In 3x1 “Kids Today” Eddie told Buck he might learn something while he spent the day with Christopher and he was right because Buck did learn something. Buck and Christopher were already close but the Tsunami strengthened their relationship even more because they learned a lot from each other while they sat together on the firetruck waiting to be rescued. Buck learned how to never give up from Christopher and Buck told Christopher that he amazed him.  Christopher witnessed Buck being a hero as he saved more than 20 people after the Tsunami hit and he reminded Buck of the way he saved them all before the water started to recede. 
After Eddie survived being trapped in The Well, he updated his will and named Buck to be Christopher’s legal guardian but he didn’t tell Buck about it until after he got shot one year later.  Buck was already acting as Christopher’s co-parent and Christopher viewed Buck as a father figure even before the will reveal. Christopher turning to Buck in 4x3 “Future Tense” and asking him if they could go to his house to play video games provides an example of how Christopher views Buck like he is his dad.  Also Christopher running away to Buck’s loft in 4x8 “Breaking Point” proved how much Christopher trusts Buck and how he wants Buck to be there for him when he can’t go to Eddie. Eddie probably wasn’t planning to tell Buck about his will but when Buck said it would have been better for Christopher if he had been shot instead of Eddie, that’s what prompted Eddie to tell him about it.  Buck was acting in the role of Christopher’s legal guardian after Eddie got shot by staying with him at Eddie’s house and that happened before Eddie revealed the change he made to his will.  The update Eddie made to his will simply legalized everything that was already happening (read blog posts: “Buck & Eddie: The Will & Legal Guardianship” and “Buck & Eddie: Christopher Diaz has 2 dads” for more information on Eddie’s will and how Buck and Eddie identically parent Christopher).  Buck loves Christopher just like Eddie does and he will do anything for him.  He dropped everything when Christopher called him in 5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia” and rushed over to Eddie’s house.  Not only did Buck take care of Christopher, he took care of Eddie too. When Buck planned to take Eddie to Equine Therapy, he made sure it would be advantageous for both Eddie and Christopher. He loves Christopher and he literally put his own life in danger during the Tsunami to save him.  He plays games with Christopher and he helps Eddie make decisions about activities like skateboarding that Christopher wants to participate in.  Buck’s role in Christopher’s life is practically that of a second father.
Was Eddie planning for something more permanent and long-term when he included Buck in his will?  Will Buck and Eddie become a CANON couple in season 6 so that Eddie’s will could be replaced with a marriage license and a set of adoption papers? Only the showrunners, writers and producers know the answer to that question.

my biggest 911 hot take is that I think the fans overemphasize how important the show thinks the will scene is. not that it isn’t important to the characters! but the show hasn’t so much as hinted at it since, and the insistence that’s it’s a giant thing hanging over Buck/Eddie is just not true imo. glances to analyze and speculation to make are fun, but the show has yet to in-canon reference that either buck or eddie are particularly hung up about it.
I think it’s a damn shame for the writers to *not* address it, but I do worry fans will be crushed if it’s never talked about again. 😞
My feelings on the will scene have definitely (and obviously, for anyone who's been reading my blog all season) changed with time. Back when it happened and at different points in s5 (like when the expectation was for Lucy to tap into Buck's recklessness) I was anticipating *something*, but like you said, there's been no allusions or outright admissions even when BUCK WAS IN A COMA. Chris knows about the will, about how the will means Buck is always going to be there (he'll always fight to come home to Chris just like Eddie) and IT NEVER CAME UP??? Yet that should have been a great opportunity to remind the casual viewer of the conversation if there were actually any plans in place to build towards canon in the future??? Something I *really* don't vibe with in this fandom is the insistence that story lines can and will be addressed a later date even if it takes longer than you'd like. Look. None of us - myself included - were taking the cancellation talks seriously because "it's FOX's number one show, lol wtf", but this idea that waiting two, three, or even MORE seasons for a story to be fully fleshed out is PEAK toxic positivity. We have no insight into what negotiations are like, or how the actors feel about committing to the show for multiple years beyond their current contracts. By dragging their feet on specific plot points, the show runners are not only telling us those things don't matter until and IF they say they matter (meaning we're giving it more importance than intended), but they're also operating under a false sense of security. If ABC didn't pick up OG for a seventh season (gonna repeat myself and say that Angela Bassett is probably what did it because that network has plenty of programming) the story lines would be ending in a way that leaves us feeling unsatisfied. 9-1-1 no longer has the hype of seasons 1, 2, 3, or even 4. "Next season" is no guarantee and the show runners need to start telling stories that reflect this (unfortunate) reality.

I can't believe I am now only noticing Buck is having the same arc as Eddie last season and vice versa for Eddie.
Buck was the seemingly content one, but as viewers we also knew he was slightly troubled. But Eddie was the one suffering. Eddie spoke to Carla and made a decision to leave the 118 without consulting Buck. Then Eddie breaks in the back half and it's Buck who helps him while resolving his relationship issues.
Now we have Eddie as the content one, but we also see he is slightly troubled and lonely. Buck makes a huge decision but consulted Hen not Eddie. And the news dropped in the mid season finale.
Or am I reading to much into that? Either way I'm excited to see how it plays out when Buck inevitably does have some sort of crisis in whatever form
It really sort of lines up, though, with what I have always thought about how Buddie being Canon goes. Which is to me a sprinkle of realization at the end of a season in order to secure another season. Both of them are happy and healthy of mind by the end of 6, and some small acknowledgment of Buddie in any form is enough to drive speculation all summer..
Hi Nonnie! Thank you for this ask.
No, I don’t think you’re reading too much into this at all! It’s kind of what I meant when I kept saying that so far, the story telling structure seems to be parallel between 5a and 6a, which is one of the reasons I’ve been assuming we’ll also see similarities (and the same kind of coming back together of Buck and Eddie) in 6b’s structure to 5b. I’m pretty sure I also explained it at some point in terms of how they came back together as Buck came to Eddie’s help, and now we’re waiting to see Eddie being there to help out Buck, but I’m so sorry, my vertigo’s too bad to try finding the relevant posts for you. If you look through my ask tag, I hope you can find them! Or if anyone skilled and kind would wanna help? But basically, you’re so very valid, I agree with you completely.
And not just about these s5 and s6 parallels, I’ve also said before that I pretty much expect 911, if it lets Buddie go canon, to reserve that first moment of actual canon-ness (hush, it’s a word now) for a season finale, because that will for sure generate a buzz, get more people interested, maybe bring in new viewers who can binge watch the show during the hiatus between the seasons, so they’ll raise the viewing figures for the show when it returns...
I hope this helped? Have a lovely day! As always, my ask tag’s here.

SaL anon here friend and I'm glad I got my rage ask out yesterday because there is soooooo much good OG stuff to talk about!! Never thought these are things i'd get to say but Buck getting lightninged and Eddie screaming his name as he climbs up the fucking ladder to save him feels like fucking Christmas (bonus if he does it over Bobby's orders)!! We are gonna live on Monday, i can feel it. I scheduled my check-up that day so I have an excuse to be useless, no idea what I'll come up with for
Tuesday yet. And apparently I'll need a plan for the next week too since we're then getting coma!Buck imagining he was never a firefighter!! So here's some hopes/speculation on how this plays out. I definitely feel like we're going to get an appropriately traumatized Eddie in the first of these episodes (especially if he has to tell Chris), but maybe not as much in the 2nd (though if they don't take this chance to finally work in a Eddie and Maddie talk I'll riot) since it's KR, who the aftermath of Eddie's shooting was a perfect time for BT to get together (meaning I'm keeping my Buddie expectations tempered). But that doesn't mean there aren't other things I hope for. First, we can FINALLY get Maddie out of dispatch and interacting with the firefam. Even better if the Buckley parents are there and everyone just glares at them. As for the coma dream itself, i'd love it if this became a chance to refocus on Buck and Bobby's relationship. Hear me out, Buck might change his dream career but he can't change his childhood or how his parents act. So i'd love to see moments of Buck's dad being proud or giving advice in his dream it it comes out wrong, or goes against the things Bobby would say and Buck pauses and feels it's off somehow. Hell i'd love for the dream to have weird funhouse mirrors of everyone (like Maddie has a not-Chim husband who everyone says is funny but Buck just doesn't get why) but i'd really love to take the comparison between Bobby and Buck's dad specifically. And if this isn't what finally gives us some realization for Buck about happiness, and what that really means to HIM, I'll declare the writers and KR incompetent because the setup is RIGHT THERE. I won't speculate about how this could tie into that other thing, we are taking the next two episodes as a win!! Plus we have some new SaL songs coming and I can't wait to see if we can use them so good luck to us surviving!
Me, seeing your ask pop up and getting ready to indulge in some good old fashioned 911 feels:
Tumblr media
Like, what is even happening right now?! We are getting fed?! So well?! I don't even know what to do with all the excitement! I am going to be distracted Monday but I know I'm gonna be absolutely USELESS on Tuesday. If I was working at home at least I could pretend I was getting work done and not on my phone all day. No such luck anymore! 😭 At least my data will be back and I won't be yelling "let me iiiiiiiin" to my phone screen as ever screen takes 10 minutes to load.
So I'm also trying (and failing, badly) to manage my expectations re: Buddie because we KNOW KR hates those on-screen interactions and conversations and the 2 that came out of the shooting were not her idea to include. And honestly we have been begging for a Maddie/Eddie conversation since s2! It's tiiiime! If not now, then when?! I'm ready for it!! I'm also ready to see the firefam at Buck's bedside FINALLY which we haven't gotten since Bobby in s1 and even that had really weird "are they gonna put Bobby and Abby together?!" vibes. Still eternally baffled at what TF Carla was doing there to talk to Maddie instead of literally anyone else in the firefam who just rescued Buck. ANYWAY. Moving on.
I am DYYYYYYING for some Buck/Bobby father/son goodness and this whole situation better fucking deliver. That dynamic has always been one of my favorites and I HATE that s5 told us Buck called Bobby to watch Eddie but didn't SHOW us a single instance of Buck and Bobby talking about what was going on with Eddie. Jail. So I'm also hoping for some Bobby stuff around this whole situation and if it can contrast Buck's own parents? Even better. And I know we're all talking about Bobby but whooo boy do I want to see a reaction from Athena too. GOD if we get coma dream mixed with present day and get to see each of the firefam talking to Buck at some point?! Hearing them all call him "Buckaroo"?! I'm going to eat DRYWALL.
I'm resolutely NOT thinking about that other storyline because that does not spark joy, but I'm VERY interested to see what Buck learns about his life and the secret to happiness through all this. As for songs, I'm begging for "In Another Life" to give us the Learning Curve discussion of our dreams because it's RIGHT THERE. And as low as I'm trying to keep expectations, they cannot have Eddie screaming for Buck and putting himself in danger to rescue Buck and NOT give everyone ideas so.....*manifesting 6b 3rd party confession*
Cheers my friend, we are not ready for this!!

is there anything more domestic than having to forcibly spend time with your family that you're estranged with and ending up curled up on your childhood bed at the end of a long and emotionally draining day, phone held to your ear as you vent to the only person that you feel safe with anymore: your best friend, and the guy that's watching your kid right now.
he might tell you that they miss you, you might tell him that you miss him- no wait- them, you miss them back. he might laugh, softly, he could tell you that he can't wait for you to get back. you might say you can't either. you're laughing as you talk, your tone joking and lighthearted and most would assume that you're excited to go back because you can't wait to leave your childhood home.
actually it's because you can't wait wait to get back to your family. you can't believe you missed that until now.

So I’m not out irl except to like my 3 best friends and I just can’t stop thinking about the fact that if (when) Eddie comes out and buck is confirmed bisexual I will openly sob and it will be so blatantly obvious to my mother who watches the show with me
