#Lab Buddies

What I meant by the MC being the homeland of this verse I meant both of them are tube babies

Oh, okay yeah I guess so. Tho MC is bit more complicated. But now I understand, lead with this next time. Nearly thought you comparing them character wise, since those compared with Lander are all unstable/broken maniacs 🤪😅

crazy that eddie brought home chris and tía pepa to remind buck he has a family who loves him, and then pepa encouraged buck to embrace change so he tried to leave the 118. i need this to come up when buck is distancing himself next season like

buck: i’m just trying to embrace change! like pepa told me to!

eddie: so my aunt, who calls you evancito and treats you like my wife, told you to embrace change, and you interpreted that to mean you should move out of our house and into a separate apartment, which is the same way we were living for years?

buck: um. well it’s—it’s not—

eddie: there are SO many actual changes that you could embrace. like getting a new tattoo or getting rid of your awful couch or actually verbally responding when i say beautiful earnest things to you or kissing me on the mouth—i’m just spitballing here, feel free to interrupt me if—mmph

If this purple monkey fuck came out as a phone app tomorrow no one would bat an eye. People would install it without a second thought and let their kids play with it.

Mav with a dog, requested by @waistcoat35 ! I felt like he would own an Aussie (a sort of high energy dog that would match him)--that, or a very old, round lab that wandered around the hangar :)

woe teswam be upon ye

[cantpickyourgenre]

unfortunately, sadly, Buck and I both suffer from WIFE (Where Is Fucking Eddie) no cure until he's back, unforts :(

[sadgayeddie]

i love 9-1-1 on abc the show that ended after s08e09 when buck gave up his loft for eddie but eddie decided last minute off cam to bring chris back instead of moving and then they all lived happily ever after together at south bedford street

ok as a diehard buddie shipper here is my interpretation of the tommy watching buck on the monitor moment at the end of 8x15 and why it does not the fuck mean they're getting back together

ultimately, and i know this is controversial, tommy is not a bad person. say whatever you want about his past (and i certainly have), what we've largely seen of him through s7-8 is someone willing to put it all on the line for people he cares about. that instinct is probably a large part of what drove him to become a firefighter in the first place, even if he couched it in macho bullshit for a long time. so i do believe that regardless of anything else, he would have helped when called, just like he did for the cruise ship (when he had hardly any relationship to speak of with any of them).

BUT he explicitly states that he's doing it for buck. because despite everything he still cares deeply for buck. and that's what makes the ending scene more devastating, imo.

he tells buck, essentially, "i know you hurt me last time we spoke but that doesn't matter, i still care about you" and then he has to watch as the man whom was a father figure to buck but never was to him dies, and he has to watch this person he cares deeply for cries alone on the floor and he is, once again, separate and apart from it all, just like he's been shown to be this Entire season. he's not experiencing it first hand like the rest of them, he's experiencing it thought buck. he's still an outsider to this family and always will be.

and, the crux of it all, is that as he's watching buck, he KNOWS that while he can still help him, can still be something for him by flying the helicopter, he will never ever be the one who can comfort buck in the way he wants and needs. i firmly believe in that moment he knows that he can never be for buck what Eddie is, and he accepts it.

[ive-got-you-clovered]

like, nya?

[redrosydiaz]

actually wait tho so eddie says that he knows almost all of his neighbors right. hes friendly with them!! they wave!! they chat!! so. where is the south bedford street outsider pov 5+1 or whatever where it's like 5 neighbors who thought buddie were together (and were wrong) + 1 neighbor who finally gets it r i g h t

[straightmundodiaz]

[barelybuckley]

guys what about an au wherein buck is the one who 'dies' in the lab and gets stuck in a government lab..... and then we see bobby struggling with losing another kid but 'for real' after so many close calls with buck before, and we get eddie who gets the call in texas and has to tell chris and so we get BOTH of them struggling with not being there 'when buck needed them' like, chris is angry at not being in LA but also he's pissed that eddie wasn't there to watch buck's back and he's angry at himself because eddie wasn't there for buck because he was in texas for HIM. and we get chimney who's struggling because buck sacrificed himself to get chim back to his sister and his niece and nephew because we know he'd be like 'if its gotta be anyone it should be me' because everyone else has kids and eddie's not there anymore and he's always a bit self-sacrificial when the others are on the line. but chimney can't let it go because he's face to face with maddie's grief and he's like 'was i even worth that? why would he make that choice'.

and then we get athena who can't let things go because she's trying to help bobby and somehow buck manages to get word out to like. karen or athena and we get them teaming up to help break buck outta there and then the second eddie sees buck he kisses him because he sped run his feelings realization leading up to bucks 'funeral' and so he just goes for it.

HUZZAH‼️‼️ I FINALLY MAKE SOME MORE ART. It’s been a while and I have way too many WIP stuff but that’s just how it is. This came from a joke between me and friends. I tend to draw buddy with sharp teeth for no reasons other than because I can and it looks cool and my friend who likes shark just keeps calling him a shark.

Alsooooo new art-style discovered wowza?!!??! Also (again) here is another edition I made to troll my friends with

[2hff]

I am also upset that the "big emergency" was so fucking lackluster. Like if Tim wasn't so fucking set on having the 118 "seperated and then finding their way back to each other" be at an uninspired building collapse then they could have been done with it in 12 minutes and spent the rest of the show on the actual storylines of the characters finding their way back home.

You know what would have been a MUCH better flow for the episode:

>Everyone at the station. Eddie gets his turnouts. Hen says no cap. Buck, being a dick, says "It's just a number now." Chin looks around and says something like "That's it, then? Eight years of us and it's just over?" Sad faces. Dramatic tension visible as they all won't meet each others eyes, etc. Blah blah moody lighting and camera angles, our babies are going through it.

>They get the call for the building collapse while all still together. Call center makes it seem like they're not going to have a lot of back up (all the other firehouses are actually off grieving bobby or some shit), so Eddie decides to go with them.

>The rescues still play out basically the same except FASTER. Chim AND Hen find Athena cause they're clearing the building. (There was no reason to have the whole athena/chim together thing because NOTHING really happened to move their characters forward until everyone else got there.) Gerrard doesn't let Eddie go with Buck because he's technically not employed so he has to stay down there. When Buck and Ravi get trapped, he has his idea. Bing Bang Boom shave off like idk 7 minutes.

>The Graham scene still plays out EXACTLY as it was on the show. (THAT is what we should have had with Bobby's death.) The whole team working to save him. The tension, the fear, the grief was thicker in that scene then the dust floating around and the soot coating their faces. And then the save. And the relief. And the imagery of them all carrying Graham out into the light as a TEAM?? Breathtaking. And then. And then...they all turn away from each other because even though they were united in that one moment - these people are still monumentally fractured in their mourning.

>Chim's Goonie's Never Say Die speech still happens, but without the whole calling out Buck and Eddie and not giving them the choice. But something more pleading. Please don't leave, please don't break this family even more. Please don't. Slightly more optimistic lighting and camera angles. There's a softening. A small release of tension.

>Then you spend the other idk 29.5 minutes stitching our babies back together. You see someone reach out to the other. You see Hen in the car with Athena. You see Chim and Maddie (and well EVERYONE if this was the 118 from several seasons ago) at the adoption. You see Eddie talking to Chris about moving back, with Buck in the background. You see them packing and unpacking. You see Buck sleeping on the couch with apartment hunting tabs open on his computer. You see Chim stocking gear and Buck checking off on his clipboard. They're teasing each other. You see Hen laughing in the background with Ravi - showing him a picture of Figure Skating Bobby. You see Eddie opening his locker and hanging his photo of him and Chris up. You see Chim slapping him on the back. You see Buck cooking in the firehouse. You see Athena placing one of Bobby's aprons around Buck's neck. She lingers over his heart. You see Maddie joining them for lunch. You see her water break. You see all of them jumping up and chaos getting her down the stairs. You see them piling in to the ambulance and captain's vehicle to race to the hospital. You see Athena clearing the way in her police car. You see Ravi looking like he's going to check how dilated Maddie is and then Buck elbowing him and covering both their eyes as Chim does it. You see Karen ushering Denny and Mara into the car at their house cause Eddie called since Hen's driving. He grabs the bar above the door as they take a turn. Hen flashes him a smile and Eddie shakes his head. You see May on the phone and yelling at Harry and Christopher to stop gaming cause they gotta go! You see the ambulance arrive at the hospital and they're pulling Maddie out of the back. It's cinematically shot almost the same way as when they all brought Graham out of the building. Only this time. This time there is joy. There is family. They are together. They have found each other again. They have chosen this. Chim places Robert KEVIN Han into Athena's arms. "Hello, Bobby."

See. It's basically the EXACT SAME EPISODE. No Buddie Canon, No Bobby alive in a govt research lab. It's the same. Only so so so much better and about the characters. It's about the family of the 118.

[jthealien]

nobody talk to me.

if I start thinking about nox’s and deacon’s parallels for too long I start losing it, they both mean so much to me..

I really hope in season 2 we get some focus on their dynamic because it could be so interesting (and it already is tbh!!)

Ok so bananas theory time

For some reason last night when I watched the final scene of the episode, I was sure Moira was going to the airport, but they only showed her on the street.

So... My theory is that she wants to fly the state before they put an arrest warrant against her so she takes the first flight available

Where does she end up?

In El Paso

She then decides to take an uber at the airport to get to a Hotel

And who's her Uber driver? Eddie fucking Diaz
