Man I forgot I queued this. Okay here goes.

Uhh since you didn't list any OCs these are for maybe I'll just go around the table with the Main Aliens cast again for some variety.

Suddenly I'm getting deja vu for this first question... Did I answer this once before? Hm. Welp, I'll answer it again, I think it's been long enough anyway.

1. What kind of person is your OC in a crisis? Are they calm and collected? Do they panic? Or are they chronically the cause?

Naru - panic, or might be the cause

Shiido - probably the one giving orders. I wouldn't necessarily say he's calm. He's the one trying to get everyone out of the crisis. Unless it's some crisis that can't be solved with a couple of quick commands and isn't imminently life-threatening. That and it's out of his depth, and he might just sigh and sit in a corner and wait for it to be over. I guess from an outside perspective he seems like the levelheaded one. He is the one with enough wherewithal to act instead of lose his head. And there's probably moments in the crisis where he's calm if things are going according to plan.

Korosa - it really depends. He can either be even calmer than Shiido in a crisis, or one thing can turn his attention off the problem at hand and he'll start blaming someone else for it. I think he does worse alone in a crisis, though it depends what it is. If it's a crisis that stretches on too long, that's plenty of time for his paranoia to spiral. Short crises he's much calmer in, though he might still get a little paranoia as an aftereffect. He may also cause a crisis now and then.

Sz'nami - Perhaps not always completely calm and collected, especially if she's out of her depth. There are a number of crises in which she would be calm and collected though, and even out of her depth she might still be trying to bounce ideas around to help, even if she's uncertain. I think long crises though might stretch her. Maybe not to the point of panic, but grief, fear, anger—all possibilities.

Ril'siiya is for sure the one making things worse. She's the one running around panickedly, thinking she's trying to help, but she's probably just getting in everyone's way. If it's escapable and out of her depth, she might be the one running to find help. If it is something she knows how to deal with, she might be the one butting into the situation so she can deal with it, probably loudly, and might rapidly tell people to find or get things for her (mostly to keep them busy and out of her way) which might waste time because who can understand her rapid speech and thick accent. XD

Tsuname - chronically the cause. If he's in someone else's crisis with a group of people, he might just stand there and laugh, then find a spot to sit and hold his face, wait for it to be over and hope no one talks to him while he goes insane.

3. What is your OC's financial status? Are they just scraping by, making enough to live comfortably, or wealthy? Has there ever been a drastic change in their status? If so, what happened?

Naru - with her story still under construction, it's hard to say how the dust will settle, but maybe I can trace her status through the years I do know about.

Childhood - Though her mom came from a wealthy family, she separated herself from them in order to have more freedom and chose a more middle class life, relying mostly on her husband's income to make ends meet. So Naru got her start living fairly comfortably in early childhood.

Childhood into adolescence - Things do not particularly change financially in the Waizu arc. Though as the years go by she does get to enjoy more things. Her own mini spaceship being one of them.

Adulthood - this is where things get really hazy, since this is the arc that's under the most construction. Originally, she survived off Waizu's remaining wealth until she had to scrape by. Now with the development that's happened post-Waizu, she doesn't really get the chance to tap into that wealth hardly at all. She ends up in a considerably worse financial condition as a prisoner aboard the ship of the scientific order Waizu was part of, upon whom the responsibility for Naru and Shiido fell. But through some mishaps with Nell, she ends up in a much better financial position after that, living in one of Nell's private villas with her adopted guard dad until something happens and she escapes. Still a little unclear on how that happens and sets us up for the Main Aliens plot. Though all of this is subject to change with my plans for yet another revision to the adult arc, but that's still on the horizon while I work on rewriting Naru's childhood.

Shiido - Since Naru's story being under construction affects his just as much, I'll similarly trace his financial status through the years.

Early childhood - When Shiido was young, his family was on the up and up. His dad was an inventor who had just struck it big with some clients in the big city, so despite living in a tribal village, Shiido and his family enjoyed considerably more technology than the average family there, though I'm sure as an inventor his dad likely spread what conveniences he could and raised the tech level of the village overall as a result, but his family was likely still in the lead. So Shiido's family had it pretty good with a sort of blended lifestyle of traditional hunting and gathering aided with technology and other home conveniences.

Post-Shiidia - But one bright day, all that shatters. His mom's concerns about the kind of people his father works with come true, and one thing leads to another as it's revealed the end clients were space pirates and they don't play fair. Shiido's mom cuts out of there with him, but for how advanced his family is, they aren't spaceship-advanced, so it's not long before they're brought aboard one of the space pirates' ships and eventually separated. From there, Shiido's status drops to that of a slave, though his master is probably decently wealthy. But thankfully, his slavery doesn't last too long. Waizu buys him, and he's able to enjoy a higher standard of living than he ever has before.

Post-Waizu - Pretty much the same as Naru's except the ending. Originally planned he'd scrape by after they used up Waizu's wealth, now it's that he's prisoner aboard the Order's ship, but from there he ends up at a safehouse after the thing with Nell goes down and he's adopted by a grandma who lives there, and thus given a chance to heal. He enjoys a lower middle class lifestyle while there, with the granny living off her husband's and her own paycheck for running the safehouses. She chooses to live frugally, only tapping into her savings when necessary, so they both live a fairly simple life there. After a while he leaves somehow. I was thinking maybe he lands a police type of job and that's how he meets up again with the escaped Naru later on? I think he'd make fairly good money with that job. Maybe even enough to buy a big ship of his own? Originally he was supposed to remodel Waizu's ship, but now I don't know if he just ends up buying a similar model down the road or what. Anyways, in that era, he probably lives frugally while he's just starting out, and slowly levels up to more upper middle class as he gets the means for it. His finances probably take a big hit post-Naru-refinding and he levels out to middle-middle class again, maybe even low at some points.

Korosa - He probably lives like, on the poverty line. He's supplied for by the platoon, but on his own there would definitely be times he'd go hungry.

As for drastic changes, his family was probably still decently poor even before the invasion went down. Not as poor as he is now, but for sure lower class to poor. There were definitely times they had to scrape by or borrow from relatives, usually his mom's side since she came from a more affluent background.

Post-invasion, him and his brother are taken care of on government funding, so they don't have to fend for themselves even after all that. After being put in a platoon, though they're expected to work and earn for themselves, there still are basic needs the platoon takes care of, so while there's definitely a financial dip post-boarding-school, neither of them starve.

Post-story-events he gets to be a little less than poor, ironically doing better financially than his platoon days in some ways despite not having access to spaceships and other technology anymore.

Sz'nami - Her family's connection to the island's head family definitely gave them a lot of benefits while she and her sister were growing up. Things improved even more for a short time after she married, but once the news of her barrenness came out, Tsunne had to work harder to support the both of them after his mother pushed them both away. Even after the invasion, Sz'nami got to enjoy some benefits still from her connection to the head family, and that plus her income working for Virola meant she managed to maintain a decent standard of living throughout the years, though each era had their rough spots. Probably the most drastic change was the invasion, since that was when she started earning on her own.

Tsuname - He got his start as the son of the island's head family, so financially he was among the top.

Drastic change was of course after the invasion. He lost his freedom, and even after returning to Gaede, he couldn't fully reclaim his political status due to mental instability, though his family status still garnered him some respect. His new mentor Gangarame was good friends with his father, and from that connection he's considered to have a high status, though apart from that he'd probably be more middle or lower class. Anyway, Tsuname gets to be cared for with decent means and a remainder of a connection to the ruling class via his bloodline, so he still gets to maintain a somewhat high status because of that, and doesn't have to worry about fending entirely for himself in this trying time.

Ril'siiya - her family was also decently affluent, being in good graces with the head family via her mother's social connections. Post-invasion this changes drastically as Ril'siiya now has to earn for herself working for her grandmother, and she lives a much lower class lifestyle, especially in the beginning. Her connection to Sz'nami as well as steady work gradually does bring her up towards the middle class eventually though.

5. Does your OC have a signature weapon and/or attack? How long did they train to master it?

Naru/Shiido: Laser gun.

Waizu probably trained them both with firearms, but Shiido got far more inventive, building several of his own from scratch once he figured out the schematics. Waizu probably had to make them harder to modify from then on so Shiido couldn't turn them against him.

Time to master would probably be on par or easier than standard firearm training. The main difference is motivation. Shiido was far more motivated and trained on his own plenty to get good accuracy, though it might vary depending on the one he's using and the desired effect. Naru, while trained, didn't really deem the information that important so she probably had to be retrained a few times, and still maybe only has like 50% accuracy. Her hands tend to shake.

Korosa - Of course, the Ocryte throwing shard. Being an old weapon type steeped in tradition, there's definitely a degree of mastery that's needed to use shards proficiently. Korosa's put a lot of his life into mastering long range throws, so he's gotten pretty good at it. Being a shardsmith as well, he can craft them more specifically to favor his types of throws. Shard weapons can also be created for short range, so the real key is not getting them mixed up in a moment of panic.

Sz'nami - though she's put a lot of her life into water manipulation, she hasn't spent an inordinate amount of time weaponizing it. She does know how, but it's much more for self-defense purposes than any one signature offense move. If she had to choose something it'd probably be more like a moving water barrier to deflect attacks.

Tsuname - he learned some water manipulation moves for offense growing up. The rest was his training under Boss, in which case his signature move would probably be the killing blow. His attack pattern is generally to disarm the opponent and then end them as quickly as possible, usually by snapping their neck. He underwent brainwashing for months to have this and other attack patterns drilled into him, so now unfortunately his brain will just switch to attack mode over the most arbitrary triggers, usually involving touch but sometimes it's someone's stance or just being surprised. It's a struggle to untrain him.

Ril'siiya - Her signature attack is to fall from a height on top of someone. She's usually pretty resilient so she can take the fall. Her opponent on the other hand... They might be in for a surprise. She's probably been doing this since she was very young.

I was thinking about the tsunami arc today and it made me realize/ask myself something. It really didn't have to be Buck with Chris at the pier that day. Actually, Chris shouldn't be there at all, period. They could've come up with something for Buck to be there alone — Buck could've been caught up in it in another way, like Athena was with May. Idk.

But it really says something that Eddie decided to give Buck his son to cheer him up and that led to them being caught up in something that, for me, made their bond even stronger. Eddie had known Buck for a little over a year? And decided that yes, this man can take care of my son for a whole day — and in return my son will take care of him.

Probably someone said it better when the episode aired but I wasn't here so... there it goes. Thoughts™

Actually, here is an alternative thing for you to occupy your time with, and a question I have been meaning to ask you for a while. I have finished 911 finally! So I'm ready for the new season. And I wonder, realistically, what do you think the roadmap would be for a buddie endgame?

I absolutely see how their story has been framed and filmed in a lot of parallels to how a romantic storyline would be set out. But there has been no outright mention of either of them being bi - although the conversation about Maddy setting Buck up with whassisface was very casual and could very easily have been an example of canonically bi Buck - and they are both at the end of season 4 in 'relationships' with women.

So, in your estimation, what's the timeline? What's the transition? How do they go about this and how long does it take? I wanna know your thoughts 👀

okay yes i have lots of thoughts on this and it's actually one of my fave questions i get asked. I've always watched a lot of tv shows so I'm just estimating on what I've seen before and what I would personally do. IMO this love story is a slow burn. We only have four seasons so far and only three of those seasons have Eddie in them. This unsurprisingly got long so ill put it under the cut.

So I'll go by seasons bc to me its important to look at everything that has happened so far by seasons and by love interests and not as a whole. Its the best way i can form a timeline that I think would make the most sense and why

S1: So we don't get any hints at Buck being anything other than straight and I think this is because he was supposed to be. They hadn't planned for Eddie yet and they definitely hadn't planned for the chemistry Oliver and Ryan were gonna have. S1 Buck was this reckless kid who didn't take anything serious. He was definitely super immature. Then he meets Abby and he starts to get serious about his job and his love life. I'm not gonna say "Abby changed him" because she didnt. He saw the person he was and the person he was becoming and decided on that change himself.

S2: Eddie!!!! So we get introduced to this army medic turned firefighter in the least heterosexual way. Then Buck is angry because Eddie is hot and really good at his job. they work together and Eddie compliments Buck and now they're smiley bffs. Seriously wtf was all that? Anyway this is all sus bc from what ive seen before in other shows when a main love interest leaves and a new main character replaces them, that means something. JLH replaced Connie Britton as far as big name actress but i really believe Eddie replaced Abby as far as importance in Buck's life. Do i think they brought him in with the intentions of turning him into a LI? No but they sure fueled the narrative from the get go. I think they saw fans reactions and started testing the waters.

Moving on to LIs in this season. We find out Eddie has a kid and the mother is not in the picture (eddie made sure buck knew that right away). Then later on we find out he's technically still married. shannon comes back and we get Eddie finally getting to confront this head on. He tries to get his family back together for the sake of his son. Its big for Eddie's character bc all he does and all he's ever done is for his son. Then Shannon asks for a divorce then she dies bringing this arc to an abrupt end and leaving eddie heartbroken.

meanwhile Buck is still waiting for Abby. Then he finally accepts that shes not coming back and decides to move on. He goes right back to being "Buck 1.0" with Taylor and feels bad about himself because that really isnt him anymore. He wants a real relationship. So then Ali calls and asks him on an actual date and he agrees. This is his first try at a relationship after a heartbreak. in tv these don't usually work out but are used to develop the main character's growth. We don't really see much of her but she breaks up with him so.

S3: This is Eddie finally dealing with his feelings/guilt season. This is also the season I think we really see how important Buck is to the Diaz boys. S2 had cute buckley-diaz family moments but those could still be interpreted as a best friend and his best friend's kid. This season though... after the tsunamic episode was when i really started to fully believe buddie was going canon. This season is solidifying their bond not only as Buck and Eddie but as Buck Eddie and Christpher. As I'm writing this I realized neither of them really has a love interest in this season do they? Ana is introduced but then is clearly presented as definitely NOT the right choice for eddie and especially for Chris. Then they counter that with Buck helping Eddie build a skateboard for Chris that he can use as opposed to Ana's ablest remarks about how he can't do it so just move on to something else. Then we get Buck's reaction in Eddie Begins. Buck has seen his team his friends his family get hurt on the job before but he has never reacted the way he did when it was Eddie in danger. Again solidifying just how much these two mean to each other. Don't even get me started on this season being when Eddie changes his will offscreen. Anyway we get Abby back and Buck finally gets the closure from that relationship that he needs to move forward into a serious relationship.

Now S4: jfc s4....IMO this is the only logical season to get the ball rolling on Buddie and they sure did that with 4x14 despite everything else. So i never thought they would be the first serious relationship for each other after the heart break theyve both experienced. It wouldn't be fair to their character developments. Buck tries dating Veronica and that clearly doesnt work but we know hes now open to dating again. We get Buck Begins where we see why Buck is the dare devil he is. The only way he got his parents attention as a kid was to put himself in danger. They bring back taylor and how to they ultimately get together after she friendzones him? She thinks hes in danger and suddenly wants him. As much as i hate it this is really gonna be a relationship where Buck finally stands up for himself and sees his own worth and realizes he deserves more. He deserves someone who sees him and loves him for who he is. He deserves to be chosen, something Abby Ali his parents dont do and what i think taylor wont end up doing. I feel like shes gonna choose her career over him. Maybe not in a "I'm breaking up with you" way but maybe she takes a new job and want to do LD (hes tried that twice and it didnt work for him. hes not gonna want that) or she could ask him to go with her but he wont. His family is in LA. His job is in LA. Eddie and Chris are in LA and he won't leave them. Then we have Eddie finally deciding to move on and try dating again so they bring back ana. To me it's not gonna work out so I'm not bothered at all lmao. It's interesting that they'd choose her though. Someone we already know Eddie doesn't trust with his son. There's also more buckley-diaz family scenes of them being coparents. The hildy episode, Chris running to Buck when hes mad at eddie, Buck being the one to tell Chris Eddie got hurt, then Buck staying with Chris and taking on the guardian role without him even knowing just how much that role really does belong to him. He didn't do it out of obligation. He didn't do it because he was asked to. He did it because he thought it would be best for Chris. Finally to 4x14. This is by far the biggest "Oh shit this is it. This is the beginning of buddie". We find out Eddie changed his will a year ago and has just been sitting on this info. I think Eddie knew back then what it meant but he wasn't in the right mindset to accept what it means so he kept it to himself. I think he finally started allowing himself to go there during treasure hunt. The man was jealous yall. Carla coming back and her comment about doing whats best for him and not chris is his oh shit moment. I think he wouldve broken up with Ana a few days after that if he had the time lol. He gets caught up in the mother/son sl then this poor mf gets shot by a sniper. The way that whole scene was filmed btw was not in a bff way. That was a lover watching his beloved almost die in front of him. Buck again puts himself down and Eddie decides this is the moment. He needs Buck to see how important he is. He wants buck to know how loved he is. So he sits there talking himself up to it and finally lets Buck know just how big of a part he is in Eddie's family. Buck's previous scene is him saying he wants someone who wants him back then here is Eddie saying he needs him...Chris needs him. wtf.

So with S5: I think Eddie knows and Buck has a feeling but he's not sure so what i would do is spend s5 with Eddie basically showing Buck his feelings but not exactly getting in the way of Buck's new relationship because Buck has to be the one to make that choice. Id also have chris feeling the different shift with buck having a gf like he did with Eddie. This newfound info wasnt just dropped on us for a "Aww so sweet" moment. This will business is gonna be a part of a bigger storyline. I'm hoping its with Eddie's family during maybe 5b.

So what I think would be the best timeline for canon buddie is 5a eddie already having either broken up with ana or is gonna break up with her, Buck choosing himself and ending things with Taylor by midseason finale, them bringing in Eddie's family in 5b and maybe then being when Eddie confesses his feelings for Buck. Then 6a we could get them walking on egg shells around each other not really knowing what to do bc this is all so new for both of them. This could bring just the right amount of comedy and angst especially them awkward and flustered around each other at work. A big blowup can happen between them for added angst (maybe an arguement before one of them or both of them is put in danger) then a midseason finale kiss. Then trying to find the balance between their personal relationship and their work relationship during 6b.

I don't know how long Fox shows last but procedurals can last a long time. I'm not sure thats gonna be the case for 911 especially with all the main cast staying that long so i think this would give us at least a whole season (S7) of canon buddie.

As far as then being presented as straight, there's been more seeds planted about buck being bi. A few i can remember off the top of my head: all of 2x1 lmao, maddie's comment about bucks boy crush on eddie, buck hinting at thinking eddie is cute when he thinks maddie is talking about him, the christmas elf, the comments on the instagram livestream, idk if youve watched it or not but TK's comment to Buck in the crossover episode, and like you mentioned Maddie's casual comment about setting him up with Josh. All we really know about Eddie's love life is he married Shannon when they were young and is trying with Ana so it could turn into a whole storyline for him.

I'm so sorry this is so long and took forever but i I hope i actually answered your question and didnt just get lost in rambles lmao.

#oh god that took me way too long lol #eddie diaz #evan buckley #buddie #911onfox #is this meta?#wtf even is that #buddie meta #??#idk

17!!

17. Any OC OTPs?…Anyone that knows me knows I’m the queen of OTPs… XD; but ummm. Maybe I’ll start with favorites. Let’s see two of my favorites at least one character is spoiler. But uuum… Other than those two, or three, (later: or four…) I kinda like Tsuname and Ril’siiya’s relationship. They’re both bubbly people who go through a lot of trouble and I think they can both relate to being the annoying one most people don’t like, so when they’re together it’s almost like they have a safe spot to just be themselves around each other, because they can’t annoy each other with the things that normally annoy other people. XD;

Also from Aliens there’s Crang and Kitch. They’re kind of childish and may not fully understand what’s going on, but they’re pure and cute and have helped each other before in the past I think. XD;

One that developed somewhat recently is Kenneth (long-necked blue/purple reptile alien, not to be confused with an angsty blonde ice boy from Zenith named Kenith… still not over how I accidentally made his name mirror Zenith’s name XDDD; ) and Lyna. Lyna is a short but tough cat-ish alien and has none of Kenneth’s playing the tough guy, telling him to rest when he’s injured. I find their dynamic interesting because he’s super tall plus his long neck and she’s this short thing that has the power to boss him around. XD

But ummm… a lot of my other OTPs are characters that mature later and get together. Like Angri and Aidren from Torn Apart are a disaster at first, but especially when Angri matures and comes to accept herself, they work a lot better. XD;

Or APG and Lily from Knights & Lilies. At first it’s a one-sided crush on APG’s end, but eventually when Lily is older, she comes to understand what she did to him by not understanding his premature feelings, and feels bad about it. So yeah they’re cute when they’re older, too.

The pairings in Twin Scars also don’t really happen until later. Tetsuya and Hiyura’s relationship isn’t really explored until the very end, possibly to be continued if the sequel ever gets off the ground. I think Tetsuya may have tried to interact with her in the past, but Hiyura was always quick to shut him down before the end of the story.

Romance isn’t really a part of the main story of TS, it’s mostly about the sisters and Isura’s friends and Hiyura’s turnaround. In general most of the romance arcs happen post-story in sequels. Like Isura may have met Kirk in the main story briefly, but it’s only when they’re older that they meet again and the relationship is explored more in Kirk’s story. I think Kirk’s story would be fourth in the series if it ever finishes, but it’s one of the ones I’m most excited to write/draw. XD I already have part of it comic-boarded out elsewhere, that’s fun… based off the snippet I wrote for him a long time ago. I haven’t really had the change to explore either of the TS pairings as an OTP much though, so it’s hard to say they’re anywhere close to a favorite actually. Though their stories definitely intrigue me, especially Kirk’s. XD;

As far as other OTPs… I have a number of parent couples that are/were cute, or tragic pairings… One totally light pairing from KnL are Lily’s parents. They still act like teens around one another even though they’re 40 or almost 40 respectively. XDThe parents of Sleepi and her sisters from TA were also fairly cute, though that one’s a bit sad.And of course from Aliens Tsunne (Tsuname’s older brother) and Sz’nami were cute. Though that one is also sad.. XD; Tsunne helped Sz’nami become more bold and to stand up to opposition instead of just taking it. He taught her how to use her wave abilities stronger and helped her gain confidence. She in turn supported him when the pressures of being the son of the village chieftain got to be too much. They were good for each other while they lasted, I think. XD

Oh! One last pairing I almost forgot about (I’m sorry this post is so long I was only gonna list favorites then I got carried away) XDD;; Is Trunt and Flint from Lands of Seven. Flint is an angsty thing and Trunt is more steady. They kind of start out like a fighting couple where Trunt figures out Flint’s secret and kind of holds it against her, but Flint ends up liking him and I think it’s mutual. XD; And Trunt keeps her secret (even though it’s one of those secrets that probably everyone actually knows), and I’m not even 100% sure how they get from weird argumentative couple to more than that, but I kind of find them cute. XD;

Well, there’s plenty more, but either don’t rise to the level of favorite or I’m not really on them right now so development is hard to come by. But yeah, I have a lot of pairings. XD;

(Tried breaking this up into smaller paragraphs to make it more readable. Did it work? You decide. XD; Thanks for the question! Again I apologize for the length. I really should have kept it shorter but apparently I have no ability for shortness when I’m talking about ships I guess XD; Some of this might have been spoiler not sure, I tried to keep it as spoiler-content free as possible, but oh well. XD; )
