[buttercupbuck]

eddie is not someone who screams at the world.

when he’s told that shannon’s situation is bad, he immediately accepts that she is going to die. when he’s told by buck that he couldn’t find christopher, that christopher is gone, he accepts that his child is dead. eddie’s world comes down and he just...surrenders to its cruelty, and to the bitter understanding that this is the way things are. he argues with the others that he doesn’t worry about the things outside of his control, but it’s because he knows he’d never win anyway. he folds, because what other choice does he have than to accept with gritted teeth whatever torment the world chooses to inflict

so i don’t know. to see him like this? crying out for someone who’s already dead until his voice is hoarse, begging with buck’s lifeless body to respond to him, crying out against the mounting hopelessness of the situation as he fails to pull him up, as buck’s body dangles almost mockingly below him? it’s so unthinkably cruel

#if it hadn't been for everything he went through last season i don't know that he ever would have allowed himself to have this reaction #this reaction that is not logical or collected or rational #and in so many ways it's a growth of sorts but it's the worst and most painful kind - #of fully allowing yourself to feel and fight against the cruelty of the world and of the mourning and despair that accompany it #eddie diaz #buddie #911 spoilers #911 fox

Mom come pick me up I’m on Twitter and the Buddie shippers are taking some whack Lasagna theory very seriously because their man just cheated on his girlfriend with a doppelgänger of his dead wife and I’m scared!!!

#i genuinely worry for some of you #and not to take lasagne gate seriously but maybe using Buddie logic the theory is about Eddie? #he’s the one in the scene and everyone yesterday has been saying let it go like we’re flash mobbing frozen so… #and lasagna has always been just a Buddie thing never about any of other Buck love interests #buddie #bucktommy #evan buckley #eddie diaz #tommy kinard #911 abc

idk who needs to hear this (buddies) but almost kissing at the bachelor party is like...still cheating. who cares if they don't actually kiss, i need some people (buddies) to understand that intent is still intent??

you are not a better person for suggesting that almost cheating is any better or more satisfying of a storyline than actually cheating.

#logically i should stop going on twitter #for my own mental health #because oohhh the takes yall #the takes are so badd #911 abc #911 #evan buckley #buck buckley #tommy kinard #eddie diaz #bucktommy #kinkley #kinley #elliott yaps

What's with the divorce era?

Are you telling me that Eddie is in crisis and your immediate premise is that Buck will make it about himself and actually will have the audacity to be mad at Eddie for hurting and not being over his dead wife WHO HE WATCHED DIE, instead of being there for him like a best friend should?

Tells me a lot about the kind of friends you may be, and that doesn't bode well for your friends.

Also, don't come and yell at me the next time I talk about how Buck always has to be the center of attention, when you made Eddie's issue about him somehow.

Some people say Nick posts about mary & george when there is something about Taylor because he wants to show that he has real jobs and shift the focus to real projects god, they're so evil

Jesus Christ, fuck them. They're stirring drama for drama's sake. That's their FUCKING JOB. M&G is literally 2 weeks, 14 days away, why wouldn't Nick post about M&G? Like they didn't choose for these dates to collide, it just did.

So yeah you're right, those people are fucking evil who can't leave a good thing alone.

But honestly, I'm amused by this "argument"/"criticism", and I'll tell you why (warning: discussion of real-person shipping under the cut, please don't read if you're uncomfortable with the subject)

Also warning, I ended up with a short-essay, because I'm me lmao

As I mentioned before, for rwrb I'm mostly active here; but I also look at the posts and opinions of the Chinese rwrb fandom (i don't post there though, I don't have nor want to have Chinese social media accounts)

and the thing about shipping culture in China is that RP shipping is almost DEFAULT (and I can write a whole dissertation on this phenomenon if anyone wants to read it) like, if you ship a pair in a show/movie unless the actor/actress is publicly in a long term MARRIAGE, not just relationship, MARRIAGE FOR LIKE AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, the audience will automatically ship the actors too. So much so that this is part of THE MARKETING STRATEGY of all locally-produced streaming shows

Also, when I say ship, I don't mean "aww that's cute they're cute together", I mean tin hatters. I mean they genuinely try to find snips and bits in photos that might serve as proof that they're together. We call it 嗑（磕）糖 ke tang (Eating/Drugged by Candy), because in Chinese weddings candy (called 喜糖 Xi Tang "happiness"-"candy") is given to guests, and because it's sweet. The "evidence" is called "candy", and the act of looking and finding "candies" is called "eating candies".

all this to say, nearly all rwrb fans in China ship Taylor and Nick together, and they're genuinely convinced that they're together. I've seen my fair share of "candy"/"evidence" and they keep coming. (some of those i genuinely think they're trying too hard but there are really some that I see and go "...damn.")

now finally back to this ask. Nick posting when Taylor has an event, what the people mentioned in the ask is bitching about, IS CONSIDERED A CANDY. EVERYBODY IS GIGGLING AND GRINNING OVER THE FACT THAT NICK AND TAYLOR POPPED OUT TOGETHER IN THE PAST COUPLE OF EVENTS LIKE THE GQ, THE ACADEMY GALA, MILAN AND TODAY. IT'S LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE END OF THE SPECTRUM.

a last little tidbit from me and my opinion on the whole shipping thing for now: personally I don't entirely agree with the default real-person shipping, it has proven to be problematic in the past and honestly I hate how monetized it is, but 1, it's such an "everybody in the country does it" thing that I... would be lying if I said I'm not influenced by that mindset at all, 2, I know where this mindset came from and it has stuff to do with the societal pressure of young adults in the country and rebellion against traditional concepts of marriage and stuff. It's a sociology phenomenon, and when I look at it as an outsider, I find it kind of fascinating.

As for my opinion on the boy's relationship, I don't...care? I know they have a good relationship and that's all I want for them. As for what type of relationship they have, I don't really mind/care, and I don't think we should look too much into that. That's their relationship for them to define and them to publicize if they want to. I know for a fact, that they are great friends. Are they more than friends? That's unfalsifiable, and that's no one's business but their own. So that's my stance.

But I had to choose one extreme fan's reaction, rps is a much less harmful thing than the sheer amount of hate and deliberate drama-stirring I've seen. So there.

No bc why on earth did they include buck drawing a sunny pink heart for eddie what was the goddamn point there

#my logical brain says it was meant as a moment of levity/humour #but shipper brain says JSGEBJXBEISB #911 abc #buddie #evan buckley #eddie diaz

Eddie: We ate 30 minutes ago, why are you making pancakes?

Buck: Bobby brought Hoover to the station.

Edide: Why are you making pancakes for the dog?

Buck: Because they don’t know how, Eddie.

So many crushes flying around in this episode

Buck crushing on Tommy

Eddie having a massive new friend crush on Tommy.

Tommy crushing on both of them in different ways—flirting with Buck but hanging out with Eddie.

Buck flat out in love with Eddie and completely unaware of his preening and flexing in front of his long time crush—trying to get Eddie’s Tommy’s attention.

It’s a love triangle for the ages, and I am so here for it.

#one of these days I want to examine Buck’s brain under a microscope bc how he made that leap in logic I’ll never know #but BI BUCK FOR THE WIN #I’ll take it #buddie #911 abc #911 spoilers #911 show #evan buckley #eddie diaz #tommy kinard

The most surprising thing about the most recent 9-1-1 episode is the fact that overprotective loving dad Eddie let Christopher leave town without him.

[warren-keplers-funk-band]

you know what's wild? 76 out of the 82 fics tagged under 'friends to fiances' on ao3 are 911 fics. and yet it makes perfect sense

#also friends to fiances is such a great trope i'm surprised there aren't more? #like what's more romantic than realising your relationship with your best friend is so perfect the only logical next step is to get married #that shit is so cute #911 #buddie #evan buckley #eddie diaz

[theladyyavilee]

now that we had Buck, Bothered and Bewildered, when is it time for Eddie, Exasperated and Enamoured thooooo?

#9-1-1 #eddie diaz #buddie #it IS the logical next stept okay

In continuation to this post - I said before that in 3x15 it was raining and there was a lightning strike that collapsed the well on top of Eddie, while Buck was outside jumping with Bobby to the ground to avoid being hit.

When the dust settles, so to speak, it occurs to Buck almost immediately that Eddie is now in grievous danger and tries to get to him.

3x15:

From what I see on the promo and the bts photos, Eddie will be thrown clear from the aerial's controls while Buck is up on the aerial.

Buck up on the aerial:

Raining, Eddie gets thrown clear:

Eddie is in protective gear, and it's not a direct hit, as can be seen clearly. My speculation?

Bobby will go to Eddie to see if he's OK, but Eddie will get up quickly and try to get to Buck - the aerial is conductive, it's more than likely that Buck will be hurt by the electric current from the lightning strike.

So I'm guessing or hoping that we will get a frantic Eddie and maybe a parallel to this:

Isn’t it funny the fact that ck decided to make a girl’s division in the tournament instead of something more logical like I DON’T KNOW AN AGE DIVISION MAYBE?

#it’s so logical to make a kid full of muscle and a six pack fight a kid half his size who is like three years younger #Tory is literally twice Devon’s size? #Bert was like a little ant #look i dont want to get in between the argument of the girls devision and all that #and i know it was all for the sake of the trama #BUT COME ON #in which world you can come to the conclusion that a girls division is ok and NOT AN AGR DIVISION #KENNY FIGHTING ROBBY?? ROBBY? SIX PACK FULL OF MUSCLE ROBBY? #DEVON VS TORY? TORY??? TORY AND HER PERFECT TECHNICHE AND ARMS AND SHOULDER FULL OF MUSCLE?? #WHAT #cobra kai #robby keene #tanner buchanan #tory nichols #johnny lawrence #samantha larusso #daniel larusso #miguel diaz #peyton list

with eddie evidently thinking more about romantic partners in 6b, i've been thinking a lot about ana- ana, who represented eddie putting himself out there again, getting back on the horse after shannon.

so tell me why i just remembered that one of ana's very first lines was "there's something to be said for getting back on the horse, but there's also something to be said for realizing you don't like horses."

realizing you don't like horses.

#feeling normal! chewing glass! #anyway the man is Gay. #911 #eddie diaz #i mean literally the only logic here is that we Know eddie is going to pursue romance again #but. he's done with horses. #ESPECIALLY after the high price for a fake life convo with may in fomo #and the beach convo with felisa

[noots-trash]

so, in summary:

couches are solidly established as a metaphor for relationships, Buck subsequently can only get properly comfortable and feel at home on Eddie's couch which, to clarify, he actively sought out and chose to sit on to feel the most relaxed

In what he thought was going to be the last moment of his life, through his shock and pain, Eddie both looked at and reached for Buck

"I also felt pretty good before I got struck by lightning" before you got struck by lightning, Mr. Buckley, who called you what, exactly?

Eddie Diaz is Comfortably Talking About Feelings

Buck's cardiologist's two possible routes of advice are either "they tell me that almost dying makes them appreciate what they have" OR shaking it up in the spouse department, because those are definitely different things for Buck right now

and last but not least, as a lovely cherry on top, Eddie knowing and actively ignoring Maddie's buck-up-buttercup plans, choosing a different 'give him space' route which does ultimately work better for Buck, which completely 100% does not parallel "Chim doesn't know her the way I do"/"maybe you don't know her the way Chim does". nothing to see here

all from about three or four scenes in an ep not even remotely focused around them????? when I say I will not survive 6b I MEAN it. we've been driven into a 5-seasons-in-the-making-corner where every line causes an absolute explosion of clowning. unhinged on all fronts.
