#Buck would be there for them both

[buckttommy]

a new (returning) character being added to 9-1-1's roster means that at some point, buck has to scream tommy's name in terror. he just has to. like. can you imagine how much differently that would hit? we saw the members of the 118 give buck the grieving spouse treatment when they all thought eddie was dead in a well. but if buck's boyfriend—as in, his actual, honest to god, officially recognized boyfriend—was in literal danger somewhere? jesus. i just got chills. i need it like oxygen.

#Eddie trying to hold Buck back from putting himself in danger and like. Of course Eddie is terrified too. #Tommy went from 0 to Best Friend status (not like Buck. Never like Buck) so quickly it was almost dizzying #but he *knows* what this means for Buck. Knows what Tommy means *to* Buck and he can feel the terror emanating from him. Can feel his blunt #nails almost drawing blood as he claws at Eddie's skin probably not even aware that he's doing it. #And they fall backwards—Eddie's arms still firmly around him—and Bobby is shouting nonsense reassurance at both of them before he and Chim #go back to save/find Tommy and Eddie's just chanting in Buck's ear ''it's okay everything is going to be okay'' and at some point Buck just #stops fighting and slumps back against him. His entire body shakes and he's just like ''it's Tommy Eddie. I can't lose him. I can't I won't #survive it'' and Eddie's eyes sting with tears but he's just like ''I know I know. Everything will be okay'' and holds him through it while #Buck falls apart in his arms. #anyways. #yeah. that would be kinda sexy i dunno #jack.txt #bucktommy

LISTEN. If we get a bisexual!Buck arc, I will ACTUALLY LITERALLY CRY, I’m already emotional just thinking about it, it will literally bring me so much joy

BUT

I don’t want it at the expense of an Eddie coming out arc…

Bc listen, I read a post talking abt how the writers probably won’t give both of them a really flushed out Queer Realization Arc bc it would be redundant, which like, okay sure, yes, I can see why you wouldn’t want to have two main, male characters going through the exact same thing, so sure, whatever, BUT -

I feel like, out of Buddie, Eddie is going to be the one that really struggles with coming to terms with his sexuality.

Eddie, who had to be The Man Of The House at 10 years old. Eddie, who grew up in the Deep South. Eddie, whose family is Catholic. Eddie, who already had a strained relationship with his judgmental parents. Eddie, who had a WIFE. Eddie, who says that what he had with Shannon was magic & compares every relationship he had to her. Eddie, who was in the military, which is infamous for DADT. Eddie, whose aunt constantly pushes him at random women because he needs to not be alone. Eddie, who canonically suffers from comp-het, saying that dating women feels like putting on a performance, not that he understands why. Eddie, who dated Ana & was planning on staying with her, even though he was unhappy, for his son.

I think Buck would be way chiller with realizing he’s queer - if he doesn’t already know, which is my fav head-cannon - & I feel like he wouldn’t struggle as much bc it’s Eddie, & Eddie is his best friend, and gender wouldn’t play as big a part for him as I think it would for Eddie.

I would love for them both to have an arc where they worked through their expectations when it comes to relationships & realize that they’re queer, but idk man, I feel like Eddie is going to be the one to really struggle & he deserves to really have that flushed out.

Idk, I’ve been thinking about this ever since I saw that post & nobody I know watches 9-1-1 😭

#buddie #911 abc #evan buckley #eddie diaz #911 #Queer Buddie Arcs #I want them both to have nice things is that really so unreasonable? #literally all of their other arcs take place at the same time #let them realize they’re queer & in love with each other at the same time too #honestly this only applies if Buddie goes canon which I’m not even convinced is going to happen #i have so many feelings #Buck would just be like “I’m in love with my best friend? fucking dope #bc my darling boy just wants to be loved & chosen & Eddie has already done those things #either way I wish they would stop putting them with random ass women who have been on the show for less than 10 minutes #I don’t need them to go canon in s7 but if we don’t even get a HINT of it this season I’ll probably quit watching #unless s7 is REALLY good bc they put some WEIRD shit in recently that I dfw #I have no idea how Tumblr is supposed to work am I doing this right? idk pls advise

[messyhairdiaz]

It really does make me wonder what else has been shot down by Fox. Because buddie is obviously the thing that we’re more able to clearly connect dots on even before Oliver started saying anything about any of it, but you know it’s not the only thing, we just don’t have the threads to pull on for anything else

#I have this theory that is less a theory and more a feeling #because it has no basis outside my own impossible to pin down vibes #but it makes me wonder about Maddie and Chim #both as their own characters and a couple #idk maybe it’s the way that Maddie was often So isolated as a character outside of Chim and Buck and only occasionally Athena #maybe it’s the way Chim keeps getting put through the wringer without very much acknowledgement #not that I think every incident any of them has needs a trauma arc #but it gets brushed off. a lot #maybe it’s even the way we had that couples therapy line in the 6.01 synopsis that just never happened #I don’t know! like I said it’s vibes but I would love to know if there was meddling there as well #and also with anyone else too of course

[dryadjoy]

Buck deserves a love confession that isn’t inspired by him being put in danger. Buck deserves a love confession that doesn’t come out of a life or death situation.

Eddie deserves a love confession that comes from him wanting to, not feeling like he has to. Eddie deserves a love confession where it feels natural and he doesn’t struggle to explain himself.

They both deserve a love confession that is domestic and warm and RIGHT for all the right reasons.

#Sorry but I would hate for there to be a confession in the finale (I don’t think there will be dw) #I want to see both of them realise their feelings and dance around each other a little and confess because they can’t wait any longer #and not because life or death or fear but just because they’re so overwhelmed with love for one another #help us season 7 you’re our only hope! #911 on fox #911 abc #evan buck buckely #eddie diaz #buddie

Keep thinking of Buck and Bucky's perception of Rosie through their eyes. When they meet him, Rosie's a great pilot, has been training gunners for ages and knows his way around a plane well - but has yet to see any combat. He's that wide-eyed kind of hopeful that he can make a difference.

When they meet him again by the end of the series, Rosie's gone on to fly 52 missions. He's well and truly past his first tour, and well into his second. The rest of the 100th adore him and respect him as a leader; and Rosie adores them all right back.

Despite all of that, Rosie still seems like the same person - undemonstrative, and a little more heaviness to his shoulders perhaps, but that wide-eyed hope that I can make a difference hasn't faded.

#I NEED THEM TO BE FRIENDS SO BAD KFJWFKJ #also Rosie's perspective of THEM must be weird too bc like he meets them and the vibe is.... well its pretty macabre #like when rosie asks for advice its just *stay alive* and then all you can do *beat the odds* #and then for rosie's first three missions it's just literal hell where they lose both Bucky's #and then he sees them again after they survived *all of THAT* #i think rosie would have a lot of respect for them and look up to them a lot #my personal hc that despite all of them being majors rosie probably doesn't see himself on the same 'level' as the bucks #they tell him to stop calling them sir but rosie's just like omg they respect me back?????????? 🥺 #rosie rosenthal #buck cleven #bucky egan #robert rosenthal #gale cleven #john egan #masters of the air #ch: rosie #ch: buck #ch: bucky #tv: masters of the air #jack talks

Canon Bi Buck means everything to me. But also in looking at it through the lens of the shows narrative as a whole, if we’re right about it actually happening, I then don’t see the show ending without buddie going canon eventually. And sure it could happen by the end of this season (though a hint is more likely) , next season (more likely) or even when the show ends. Basically, in my opinion, if Buck is canonically bi, I have no doubts in my mind that one day buddie will happen too. And maybe they will elongate it to give Eddie the coming out arc he deserves too, if they’re doing one for Buck.

#buddie #911 spoilers #911 spec #idk if I’m wording this right aha #and like I’ve worked with tv writers before and they don’t do anything without it meaning something #or opening up avenues that they may want to explore further down the lines #but also bi buck itsslf just means so much to me #and like even tho I’m confident eventually it’ll lead to buddie #I will not be as sad as I would have been at the end of the show if they’d have done no buddie and left them both straight 🤷‍♀️ #Leah rambles

Buck and Eddie are going to be pissed at each other/one of them is going to be pissed at the other, but not for the reasons you think.

Before anyone asks, I'm not being shady and I don't know how the season is going to unfold, but I do know that in all the years of Buck and Eddie being BuckandEddie, we've seen them survive a lawsuit (essentially: Buck at his most selfish), a kidnapping, a nervous breakdown (essentially: Eddie at his most destructive), a shooting, and so many other things that have yet to actually rock the core of their relationship. I think this—whatever this is—is going to strike at the heart of who they are together and that? That fascinates me.

#Buck and Eddie present probably the most stable and cohesive unit on the show second only to Bobby and Athena and I mean that quite #literally. Nothing either of them has done has ever been done *to* each other. Hen cheated on Karen. Maddie walked out on Chimney. While #there were extenuating circumstances surrounding both of those events that doesn't change the fact that they happened. With Buck and Eddie #hurting each other has always been a byproduct of something larger. In Season 3 Buck hurt Eddie... but it was only because he got caught in #the crossfire between him and Bobby. In Season 5 Eddie hurt Buck by leaving the 118 (and essentially “breaking up with him”)... but that is #only because he was struggling with PTSD. They've never launched direct hits at each other/their dynamic because they have always been — by #all accounts — assured of who they are when they're together even if that assurance doesn't always extend to knowing who they are #individually. So the idea that they might stand at the precipice of having to navigate something they did to each other? Or (as I suspect) #something Buck did to Eddie? That's going to be really interesting to witness. I want to see them test how strong they really are when one #of them pushes the bounds of the relationship. I want to see who they are when they're hurting each other borderline intentionally. #That would be nice. I'm seated and ready to go 🫡 #jack.txt #tv: 911

[kafka-ohdear]

again, fight me for this, but i don't think bucky really took the name back. it is still there, just a simple "buck", well it has always been there for the both of them. from the very start he has already decided that name would belong to gale and gale only; there's no point in taking it back, but he'll preserve it for himself only. because both john and gale knows he would never return to that "buck". it's simply just existing there.

#alright hear me out #cmon like nuh uh #its just there #both of them acknowledge its existence #but its a safe place #they dont break the layer protecting it #as some way to honor their friendship (love through the war #althought gale would never be buck again #clegan #buck² #buck & bucky #twobuck #mota #masters of the air #john egan #gale cleven #queued because im taking a nap #*although sorry my bad

Buck and Eddie before they get together

Eddie - So do you want to go get some food?

Buck - I would but I left my wallet at home.

Eddie - Oh no it’s okay I’m paying.

Buck, joking - Is this a date?

Eddie, winking - I mean I am paying.

Hen, sighing - They really are idiots.

Eddie’s breakdown-deleted scene included

The “deleted” scene from Eddie’s breakdown that was included in Fox’s “We are family” season 5 recap video, which aired in September 2022, but wasn’t included in 5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia”, has been added and edited into the above video. Since the deleted portion starts when Eddie first looks up at Buck, it was added and edited into the section that begins after Buck said, “Eddie, hey, hey...what’s going on? Hey!” and before Eddie says, “They’re all dead!” because it seems like that’s where it might have been if the show hadn’t DELETED the majority of Eddie’s scene.

It’s interesting that all of Eddie’s breakdown scene wasn’t aired even though there was plenty of time for two boring emergencies to be included, i.e., the sharks and the spiders which took up more than 14 minutes of the episode (each emergency was more than 7 minutes long).  Also there were three unnecessary Buck and TayKay scenes that took up more than 9 minutes of the episode (each of their scenes were more than 3 minutes long).  If both emergencies and the BT scenes would have been shortened, instead of them taking up almost 25 minutes (which is more than half) of the 43-minute episode, there would have been plenty of time for all of Eddie’s breakdown to be included instead of the 5-minute scene that was shoved in at the end of the episode.

EDDIE DESERVES BETTER than the cropped and shortened scenes he’s always given.  Hopefully this will be remedied in 6B but with the way he was sidelined for a lot of 6A, it’s unlikely.

omggggg YES whether you look at eddie through a demi!gaze or just a queer!gaze, the difference between he and buck is sort of obvious? (to me)

it makes sense for them to say that bi!buck has been scattered throughout the show, we’ve seen and heard hints directed at/about several other male characters. so it’s logical it’s not entirely about eddie for him and therefore his bi!arc starts with someone else

eddie on the other hand hasn’t really had ‘moments’ with other male characters? a lot of his queer!spec comes from his history and the way he is with dating, but his main interactions with other male characters are the softer more domestic scenes with he and buck. 704 proved that eddie’s friendship with other men is completely different to how he is with buck. so in my head it’s logical that for him, it is about buck, and that’s where his queer!arc starts

Yeah, here's the thing, like Oliver pointed out, there are a lot of moments of Buck having flirty moments with men who are not Eddie in the show, even if it wasn't on purpose in the beginning, like, something Oliver was consciously told to portrait, Buck does have a bisexual energy to him from the get-go, and I think it is nice for him to be able to explore that outside the person we all know is the love of his life, yk? He needs to accept that he likes men before he accepts he loves Eddie. It's kinda like the way a lot of feeling realization fics from Buck's pov have Buck fine with the idea of wanting a family with Eddie but panicking when he realizes he wants to have sex with him, he needs to accept that, especially with the way he has a bad relationship with sex overall.

But, Eddie on the other hand, he doesn't have moments with men, he has moments with Buck, I think maybe if you push a little bit, you can say he was flirting with Judd in the crossover, but like, it's been Buck since the ridiculous sexual tension in the gym during under pressure. And, like, until the show tells me I'm wrong I will exist in my "Eddie is settled into his feelings because he thinks Buck can't feel the same" because you can absolutely make an argument for Eddie to be in the "it's not his fault he can't feel the same way about me" stage of falling with your "straight" best friend, I say straight because Eddie still doesn't know, I did write a whole thing on how you can recontextualize the show to make it seem like Eddie has been semi-aware of his feelings since the lawsuit, and I know they are probably not gonna go the route that he's been aware of his feelings (rip shooting as Eddie's oh moment you will always be true to me), but the groundwork for him to be like oh! about Buck at any point is there. And Eddie is a lot more aware of his own feelings than Buck, he wouldn't need someone to kiss him to have the realization, he can have the realization in a less on-the-nose moment. And the thing with the way they have been playing Eddie and his love interests, especially with the added context on Shannon we got last season, that they were friends first and all that, you can make a really strong argument for him to be demisexual and that's why he struggles with the idea of dating, that he feels like that's a performance, and why he has weird chemistry with the woman he pushed himself into dating since Shannon died, and that can absolutely push him towards Buck. Because here's the thing, with Buck dating men, and Eddie's relationship in crisis, he could very well look at Buck and be like "oh, I wasn't aware he was an option" because of the whole struggle with attraction and the way he has such a strong relationship with Buck, and maybe wonder about what it all means, and they can tumble into the realization that maybe they could be more together. That none of them has been secretly pining, but they have such a strong thing going that there's no reason for them not to go there. It could be this natural thing. And it's right there, even more with the comment of Eddie trying to understand his place in the world. Because for Eddie is not about Buck being a man, is about Buck being his best friend, and I think Eddie as a person would need to come to terms with that and he wouldn't get that hung up on the fact that Buck's a man. So Buck can absolutely be his queer awakening. But if Buck had the realization he has feelings for Eddie, he would get hung up on the fact that he is a man if he didn't explore his bisexuality before that.

I kinda think the route we are going here is Buck processing he likes man, Eddie processing he likes Buck, Buck being like "wait men are an option, Eddie is a man, I already have most of the things I'm looking for with Eddie, maybe we can go there" and then maybe some mutual pining before they do go there.

#i just want buck to blue screen the next time he sees eddie shirtless and be like oh fuck he's hot #oasksoaksasokasa #but i kinda think theyll get together in an explosive way if that's where this is going #like i dont know but my both of them are gonna be in danger by the end of the season spec might include Buck straight up kissing Eddie #i mean #i dont realistically think it would happen but i can see the argument for it #i dont know #but yeah #Eddie cant be Buck's bi awakening but Buck can be Eddie's #this got long and rambly sorry #911 #911 spoilers #911 speculation #911 meta #???? #i really need a tag for asks #anon 😌

#not to sound like a broken record #i know this has already been talked about a lot in current fandom discourse #but all the tommy love also comes from a place of #misogyny (buck’s m/f relationships failed bc the women weren’t good enough. but his first m/m is perfect and destined and tommy is god) #(even though we know next to nothing about them as a couple. cough 1 kiss and 1 failed date cough cough) #and biphobic concepts (buck’s only relationship/partner that is worth shipping and love and fandom time is the m/m one) #(if he’s with a woman he’s not worth our time? the relationship/partner isn’t worth our time. right?) #some people kinda sounding like the conservative haters right now #oliver stark’s voice shouting from afar: he isn’t gay! he is bisexual! he still likes women! #some people like to celebrate bi buck (as we should) but then erase his previous gfs #in favour of this 1 man he’s shared literally 4 scenes with. okay #<- <- <- i drafted this like 6 hours before that interview came out. ollie came to back me up with the ‘he still likes women’ lmao #him dating a guy now does not erase or dismiss his previous m/f relationships or that he’s still into women #one final comment. any time buck got with a girl it was ‘they need to break up immediately’ #‘she’s not right for him’ #he’s with his first guy and it’s ’they should be endgame’ #‘they’re perfect together’ #huh?? one. we barely know tommy/them together #two. what exactly makes them endgame material? bc they’re both men? cough biphobic misogyny fetishization cough #three. it would be objectively hilarious if he realises his sexuality and within 2 weeks is dating a guy for the first time #and then that guy ends up being his endgame forever partner. lmaoooo that would be so dumb sawry #not to mention it would kinda lean into the biphobia and misogyny mentioned above #in that it would suggest that his problem with finding love previously was… women #and this problem is now magically fixed because… man #four. not to be a buddie endgame truther but if all the vocal support means this is what we get instead #instead of Them. i’m out see ya bye bye #i am sooooo reading way too much into this but oh well
