Cedric. 28. Noted Joan of Arc stan and a known gay. Evan Buckley is canonically bisexual and his love interest is built like an M1 Abrams. Big R.I.P. to Julie and the Phantoms. he/him/his also I'm a quadroon stop calling me white every time you disagree with me
My friend is caught up and has some ideas on that little plot hook with Chief Simpson using the Uno Rescue for PR and not punishing the 118 (yet) namely him forcing the 118 to calm the fuck down by putting them in the public eye:
He uses them as mascots for the LAFD under his command, especially focusing on the racial and sexual diversity (Hen, Chim, Ravi, Buck, and Eddie all tick boxes here so it would play well as a DEI win)
The crew would kind of appreciate it but also feel weirdly tokenized at the same time.
We’d get a cool callback to Hen Begins and Chimney Begins with Hen pointing out that it wasn’t the chiefs or anyone in higher positions that changed the culture of the LAFD, all that came on the ground floor from people like Chim and Hen
Depending on how spicy the writers are feeling we can play the “Chief basically outs Buck to Greater Los Angeles for political gain” thing for drama or for comedy as the entire population of WeHo finds out about a 6’2” bisexual firefighter that looks and acts like a golden retriever that became a real boy.
This is my personal addition but think it would be fun if this somehow leads to a mockumentary style episode with interviews of each of the 118 members so we can see each of them talk about their feelings about the house.

they have the potential to be an endgame couple and that's why people are so threatened and upset. but don't get me wrong, potential is still just potential. but a lot of people are so very insecure about buddie that they don't understand that at all.
Geraskier is really taken as a given in this season with Radomir asking if Geralt knows how lucky he is to have Jaskier, Geralt calling him “Jask” the same way he calls Yennifer “Yen” and the Dryad just saying “come quickly he needs you”
