#coparenting firefighters

[aramblingjay]

i have fallen in love with a new first responder show and i am unlikely to be normal about it

@gregorygerwitz this is all your fault :)

#911 fox #for those of you who were here for my chicago fire and sevasey phase #you can probably guess what’s coming #there’s nothing i love more than some firefighting husbands #yet another enemies to best friends to partners pipeline? with a dash of coparenting thrown in this time? #my fucking kryptonite #buddie

[kitkatpancakestack]

they are literally so crazy can you believe they do that on our screens every week

No for real wish I could go back and tell 2018 me that it's actually just never going to get easier dealing with these two disasters

there's something about how eddie hanging out with tommy could be a parallel to how he chose to go with marjan during the 911 ls crossover...

like: they're in texas, buck keeps staring at marjan aka this super cool and famous firefighter, and eddie can't keep buck's attention off her long enough to pay attention to him. so the first chance he gets, he goes with marjan, even if it meant not partnering with buck.

i have my personal headcanons about that whole thing, so i always thought it was jealous!eddie scoping out the new object of buck's attention, with the bonus of buck not getting to spend time with that person. in the meantime, he gets into her instagram to see what the fuss is about and *subtly* drops that yeah me and buck are coparenting a child and he built my kid a skateboard actually. at the end of that trip, he's friendly to marjan and even asks her to follow buck back on ig (bc he doesn't think she'll be a threat anymore)

so maybe eddie notices that there was something between buck and tommy during the cruise rescue and decides to put a stop to it immediately by putting himself in the middle. and ofc buck gets bothered (and bewildered) that eddie's choosing not to spend time with him, choosing to spend time with this other person, even when buck was the one who thought that person was cool in the first place.

anw i have jealous!eddie on my bingo card so i'm def biased about how i want this episode to go

It is totally possible to be a Buddie endgamer AND still support Buck/Tommy. It's possible to never be shaken from your stance as Buck and Eddie being soulmates while supporting every relationship they have been in, regardless of how dysfunctional it was.

Here's my take:

I want to see both Buck and Eddie explore life and find their true paths independently of each other, Christopher, and the 118. They are more than just each other's best friend/coparent, Christopher's fathers, and firefighters/part of the 118 family.

Since we know there is a season 8, and I would guess a season 9+ if these ratings keep up, it would be awesome to watch a full season, or more, of character evolution. We could watch Buck dating both men and women openly, learning his value, and discovering what he wants for his future.

Buck, as Bobby pointed out, doesn't enter into relationships of his own accord. He stumbles and falls into them without a clue how he got there. One day, he wakes up and he's someone's boyfriend or living with someone and isn't sure how it happened. Buck simply goes wherever someone will accept him. He misconstrues that acceptance and tolerance as genuine romance, feelings, and love.

Abby was bored and lonely and horny. I could say a lot about that relationship. If the motivation strikes, I may post about how that relationship was toxic and manipulative on Abby's part. If there are any Abby fans, you need to know your girl was showing some tendencies that were red flags.

Ali? Buck was single. She showed interest. That's it.

Taylor? Great sex and she kept coming back to Buck. She was there for all the wrong reasons and had questionable morals, but she was there. That was enough for Buck.

Natalia, again, was simply in front of Buck. She was obviously only interested in Buck's death, not Buck as a person, but Buck didn't care. He tried to make it work anyway because Natalia gave him time and attention.

So, we have an established pattern of Buck dating whoever will give him the time of day when he needs it most.

Enter Tommy. Buck is feeling left out. He's probably slipping into loneliness and spiraling because he feels the most important person in his life for the last six years is being taken away from him. (That's Eddie, for those in the back.)

Tommy shows up, sees Buck is spiraling, and kisses him. (Tommy fans, canon has established that Tommy has bad guy capabilities. Stop trying to gaslight the fans who are saying he may not be the good guy his sudden fandom claims he is. He isn't and Hen and Chimney forgiving him doesn't change that. People who are capable of consciously being a-holes are just a-holes. Mmkay?) He doesn't just hit on Buck. He physically initiates contact, giving Buck no doubt the man is open to other men. He showed Buck attention in a moment of crisis and he's a safe option after Buck openly admitted he was jealous and trying to get attention.

Buck stumbles into the next relationship. (Again, I could examine that situation, but if I do, it will be in a separate post.)

The show could give us Eddie admitting he let the expectations and influences of third parties control his destiny and he has no idea who Edmundo Diaz really is outside of what was expected of him, what he was taught, and what he did out of a sense of duty instead of doing what he wanted to.

He was with Shannon because she was pregnant and the right thing to do, per their parents and his faith, was marry her. I think he loves her for giving him his son, but nothing he has ever said or done indicates he was in love with her. I think he thinks he was. I think he wanted to be.

He was with Ana because Christopher needed a mother, per what he was told and taught, and she had an impressive resume and knew Christopher.

He is with Marisol because she fits the perfect mold of what his parents would like and she gets along with Christopher.

Should we talk about Eddie's relationships timing up perfectly with when Buck enters a relationship? No?

That man has never once in six seasons made a believable statement about genuine attraction to or sexual enjoyment with women. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have straight male friends who are in their 20s or 30s, you know you will be subjected to more details about their sexual history than you ever wanted to know. (Many of my close friends historically have been straight men. Conversations with them have been interesting and eye-opening. Sometimes traumatic, too, but I knew what I signed up for when I became their friend.)

Eddie canonically is in his early 30s and has been on the screen since his late 20s, but went without sex for years, never seemed to miss it, and now he's suddenly "pent up"? That is not the whole story and there is more going on there.

I'd love to see Eddie figure out he isn't into Marisol and hasn't been into anyone genuinely, except maybe Shannon. There could easily be a demisexuality arc for Eddie. Keep in mind, the term demisexuality was coined less than 20 years ago and is still not widely known. Eddie could spend a season, or more, working through the feelings he's ignored or been unable to put into words, dealing with overbearing parents, and how his faith has quietly, and unbeknownst to him, guided his choices. He could spend a long time wondering why he never feels an instant connection with anyone, except Buck and Tommy. (You seeing a pattern here?) This season has openly pointed out Eddie is in therapy.

The road to Buddie can be filled with satisfying detours, aka other relationships, leading to the realizations that open their eyes to each other. We don't have to negate the Buck and Eddie's experiences with others to support Buddie.

The part of me that wants instant gratification would love to see Eddie and Buck dancing at Madney's wedding and figuring out they are what they have been looking for all along. Cut to them in a room going at it.

But, the part of me that loves a great story, and doesn't mind waiting if the writing is great, is fine with a slow burn that gives us deep storylines and episodes that grip you from beginning to end. Let's say we have the rest of season 7, season 8, and maybe a season 9. There would be so much possible material.

Buck could go through a relationship with Tommy, a breakup, confusion, dating again, multiple amazing conversations with LGBTQ characters like Hen, Karen. This would also allow for giving other characters more depth, backstory, and more time on-screen. (This would be an amazing time to bring back Rockmond Dunbar as Michael and have him and Buck discuss figuring your sexuality out later in life!)

Eddie could spend that time working through his Catholic guilt and separating his actual needs and desires from what he was taught to need and desire. He could realize he makes excuses to stay with the women he dates then finds an excuse to escape when being with those women gives him anxiety. He could begin questioning if he is gay, bi, pan, or what. Then he could ask himself why he never really gets to know the women he dates. Who has he been close to? What was different? What gives him a feeling of safety and security and home? He needs to figure himself out.

So, yes, I do believe Buck/Tommy is acceptable and I support it, just not as endgame. I think, if written well, it could be integral to a great growth plot that takes us through Eddie and Buck diverging on their paths to self-discovery only to converge later on, a little more scarred but more in tune with themselves, to see their future in each other.

[millenialmfa]

Maybe I’m dumb, or just naive, but I don’t understand the people who suddenly don’t want to watch 911 anymore after 7x4 ?

Like, have we been watching the same show all these years?

It has addressed/displayed interracial relationships and marriages (multiple), homosexual relationships/marriages, mental health/PTSD struggles, racial injustices, emotional/physical/mental abuse, disability, trauma, death, etc.

Michael came out in his 40s/50s and is in a loving relationship (engagement? I can’t remember) with another man while still acknowledging the love he felt for Athena and maintaining a healthy coparenting relationship with her.

My girl Hen has been UNAPOLOGETICALLY gay for the ENTIRE show! She has a whole wife and kid. She has ups and downs in her marriage, a well rounded love story and family life……she is more than her sexuality but also so much because of her sexuality. They are intertwined and she is so beautiful and nuanced (can you tell she’s one of my favorites?)

….. and y’all gonna draw the line at Buck’s bisexuality? Is it insecurity? Can you really not handle the white masculine bro firefighter being bi? Is it biphobia? Do you not like that his most relationships with women were valid as is this new thing with Tommy? And that they are ALL valid and real to him?

Even if you think this came out of nowhere (which I can’t say I agree, but I will let you have it for argument’s sake) Like, you look at this incredibly nuanced and well written character..you see the relief and happiness in his eyes…and you’re mad?

This turned into a rant, but I’m honestly so perplexed by this

Anyway…I’m proud of Buck and he deserves to be happy and who he is

Ok given what we now know, a lot of things are making sense.

This scene, where we see Buck running ahead of everyone and yelling, “Let’s go let’s go!” Indicates he’s trying so hard to show Bobby he can be interim captain while he’s gone. It makes sense as to why Chim and Eddie are looking at him all 🤨

The team knows Bobby’s gonna go on his honeymoon and that he has to choose an interim. It also makes sense because Oliver said, “In the very first episode Buck could be considered the poster boy for a machismo that may be found in fire departments. Yet by the end of that same episode, he has been brought down a peg or two by the men in his team.” So it would make the most sense if those men are Chim and Eddie who bring him down a peg or two.

It also makes sense because we see Eddie looking at somehow like he’s exasperated while they’re at the same call. We know from previous stills that Buck is behind Eddie while he’s helping the victim. So maybe Buck says something the captain would usually, thus causing Eddie’s reaction to be that “what are you saying?”

Now we know Buck is going to be venting to his family (Eddie and Christopher) so it makes sense that he’s spiraling a bit about not getting interim captain. He’s going on and on, maybe even speaking negatively about himself. That’s where Eddie and Chris come in to reinforce and remind him, “that he's part of a bigger picture and he doesn't always have to get things his own way.” And in doing so, they will let him know that just because he didn’t get the interim captain position, it doesn’t diminish his role as a firefighter. And that they love him and he’s great at what he does. So if captain is what he wants in the future, then they’ll both support him. Because not only is Buck important to the entire 118, but he’s important to their family as well.

And while Buck goes on this self discover journey, and realizes certain things about who he is as a person, as a firefighter, a friend, a brother/uncle, a coparent and partner, a lot of things will be making sense to him. He’ll be having a lot of realizations and one of those may be that the person who’s been his biggest support fits everything he’s been searching for a partner.

wait i have a very important question. are the gay firefighters not even canon. why did i think they had a whole enemies to lovers arc followed by a difficult breakup and a coparenting situation involving them putting their history behind them to effectively coparent and work together while denying the feelings that will never truly go away 

#are they really just sitdrama men with chemistry i thought they were LOVERS #911 #i've never seen this show but i thought i had based on the number of gifs of these men yall put on my dash #and now it feels like someone ripped the rug out from under me #pers

[mr-and-mr-diaz]

Those are great headcanons! Oh the Ravi thinks they are divorced and what if another probie thinks they are married the debates happening when they aren't yet together at all

This would crack me up so much!! A conversation--no, heated discussion between Ravi and another firefighter "NO, THEY'RE CLEARLY DIVORCED!!!" "NO, THEY'RE MARRIED AND COPARENTING EDDIE'S KID!!"

And the rest of this can really go two ways:

Eddie and Buck aren't there, but the rest of the firehouse is and they are all listening in gleefully, looking at each other like "should we correct them?" "nah, this is more fun" Or better yet, weighing in on the argument as if either side holds an ounce of truth. I could see Chim saying "we're not supposed to talk about their marriage, it's a secret, but yeah, they are definitely coparenting Christopher" and Hen chiming in with "they were on the rocks though, remember that time at the grocery store?" then Bobby clearing his throat and cutting in "folks, I need to clarify, they are not married--" only to be interrupted by Ravi going "HAH! I told you they were divorced!" and Chim and Hen escorting Bobby away before he can further clarify.

Eddie and Buck are literally standing right there, listening in and scheming on ways to cash in on the bet. They get Chim and Hen involved to start the betting pool and plot all sorts of juicy ways to give off Married and then Divorced vibes (make-up sex noises in the closet, talking about Christopher as though it's a custody battle, really sowing confusion) and at some point during the charade, Feelings Realization Happens.

Why does Buck have only three modes? If he isn't working and being a firefighter he is being a coparent and hanging out with the Diaz, if he isn't hanging out with them he is alone at home being a housewife

Because it's who he is and he is proud to be himself. He is proud firefighter, dad / co-parent and housewife

911 buck/Eddie spiritual successor of h50 Steve/Danny is this anything

work together best friends cop adjacent (sorry to firefighters thats mean but also athena is there) cannot date other people because their entire lives revolve around each other are coparenting one dude's biochild have nearly died for each other and saved each other several times many fraught bedside hospital scenes unfortunately your targeted attack is correct

WHAT IS THIS AU YOU SOEAK OF

yujikiri buddie au?? it's like a firefighter au pretty much - kazuto is a single dad to his daughter, yui, after her mom passed away. he's a firefighter. a hot (haha pun) new firefighter joins the crew, eugeo. angst and slowburn ensues while they very gayly coparent this child and deny that they're in love with each other despite the fact the entire universe knows they are - "it's like the universe is screaming at you and you refuse to listen"

Some people comfort characters are a wizards but their also firefighters who are bisexual but on the spin-off of that show theirs is paramedic and cop couple who show you a kinda of love you wish to have but then there other comfort characters are a babysitter with great hair who wants six kids and a freak who plays the guitar and then their kid who they both coparent even though neither one of them are actually related to the kid.  it’s me I’m some people

Biography

tw: gambling, drug use, alcoholism, child neglect

answers to nathaniel, nathan of nate, sometimes will answer to dawson depending on who you are (usually only to coworkers)

Was originally born in las vegas nevada where he grew up. because of this he was around the party scene a lot and quickly became a drinker and gambler until it became a problem. 

mom passed away when he was younger and ended up being raised by his father who became neglectful as nathan got older which is why he turned to partying, gambling and drugs. 

eventually it turned to heavy drinking and one night stands. one drunken night without protection and another one night stand led to him becoming a father at the age of twenty five. 

the two of them didn’t have any romantic feelings for each other but he wanted to be in the child’s life so they decided to coparent the kid together though she left fairly early on in the childs life

it caused a relapse going back into drugs and drinking for a long time as he tried to cope and constantly questioned why he wasn't good enough to be a dad but eventually he got his shit together again.

it took him a while to start searching for her after family said she’d been home and that’s how he ended up in huntsville. she was from around the area and he was trying to just pass through town to get to the next one when he got stuck. 

that was six years ago now, he’d gotten clean from any hard drugs and quit drinking shortly after his kid was born but since being in huntsville he’s fallen back on his old habits a bit. 

took a job as a firefighter so he could feel useful towards something and learned how to hunt for the same reason

he goes to the bar still but when he drinks to much he becomes a flirty mess and often doesn’t follow through with the flirts when he’s sober again, instead he feels embarrassed by his own behavior and says he won’t drink again because of it (spoiler alert he does)

what are you weakest for in fic for the following pairings:

stucky

sterek

firefighters whose names i'm not 100% i know

newtmas

oh this is such a good ask <3

stucky - i'm very weak for fics where bucky's trauma is treated seriously, where steve works hard to help him, and where there's an undeniable connection between the two that is less 'omg its you you're back everything's perfect' and more 'there is no universe, no situation, no life where i don't love you'.

sterek - um. bottom!derek is literally the first thing that came to mind. hah. i'm weak for a lot of things in sterek fic but i do really love fics where derek gets to be soft, and lets stiles take care of him. and rail him a lot.

also fics where derek is very wolfy... i love all the werewolfy kink shit and stiles being very much a monsterfucker.

my firefighters are buck and eddie 😂😘 their ship name is buddie which is hilarious. i am very weak for domestic fics where the two of them are soft and sweet and coparenting eddie's son chris. their little family of three is what originally intrigued me about the show. but i also LOVE fics where eddie is in his queer awakening era and discovers how much he loves dick. let eddie be a slut, a little bit. baby deserves it.

OH GOD i also love love love a d/s dynamic with these two (bc honestly... it just works so well for them i'm sweating just thinking about it) and am extremely and eternally weak for possessive!eddie.

my fave newtmas fic of all time is an AU, but i'd say for canon fics it's definitely glade sluttiness. like maybe i'm scared and overwhelmed and i don't know wtf is going on but who cares because i found this beautiful boy and for a minute i can lose myself in that.

common thread in all of these is that i'm very drawn to traumatized characters and i will always love reading about them healing, being seen, getting what they need, and getting to be happy. and having fabulous sex, obviously.

ask me weird and/or spicy shit to keep me motivated 😘

Okay so I just came across your buddie PowerPoint and it’s amazing. I love it.

I thought you’d enjoy this little piece of information:

The other night I was rewatching 6A and my very CisHet roommate joined and eventually questioned me when I said Buck and Eddie aren’t dating. And then I explained “hey, yeah, they coparent, Buck is Chris’ legal guardian and all, and yes Eddie seemed very offended when Buck was acting like him being a dad (of sorts) was some new exciting thing, but yeah no they’re not an official couple.” To which he started saying the usuals: “I don’t act like that with any of my friends” “that’s not how I am even with [insert friend since childhood]” “I’ve never been like that with [insert his godsons dad/his ride or die bestfriend]”

And now he asks every day whether or not 6B is out or when it will be because he just wants to see the two attractive idiot firefighters finally get together.

Thank you and omg incredible!!!! Love how your roommate immediately clocked them and was very confused when you explained that they aren’t canon. And your roommate and I both, every day I ask myself the same thing
