i am honestly so done with 9-1-1 now. it has been my comfort show for 7 years and it’s just been completely destroyed.

the worst part it this episode just felt like a kick in the teeth, i mean they had 99% of this episode dedicated to a storyline where a woman thought her dead son was actually alive and her trying to prove that he is alive only to find out the coffin was empty and her son was still dead… is that not a little on the nose.

then we have not even 5 minutes of bobby’s actual funeral where almost every single character just felt wrong and weren’t reacting the way they should have. hen cried for like 3 seconds, ravi didn’t really react at all until the actual funeral and then he was just straight faced (ravi who was willing to go to military prison to save his team but feels basically nothing at bobby’s funeral), eddie who didn’t even bother to come back to LA until the funeral and don’t even get me started on Buck! his dad is being buried and he just *blank stare* are you fucking joking!?!? Kenny and Angela were amazing but everyone else, you gave nothing!!!! (not a comment about the actors, just mad about the writers choosing to portray the characters like that) i mean maddie seemed more emotional than buck, are you kidding me?!?!

i honestly don’t think i can watch this show anymore, after all of this bullshit.

A little message for tim:

how does it feel to know you destroyed your entire show and slashed viewership with 2 episodes?? when your ratings and viewership were at an all time high?? all so you could play god??

not even buddie canon can save you now.

IM IN YOUR WALLS!!!

Real talk:

I need a daniel lives au.

I need it now.

And not just a one shot, i don’t want a little he he ha ha of ‘ooo what if daniel lived and blah blah blah’ i want heartbreak and devastation. i want it to explore the idea of buck managing to save daniel but then feeling that is the only reason he is alive and he has to save his brother or his life is completely pointless, and i need to explore the idea of daniel struggling to come to terms with the fact that his parents force his baby brother through horrific medical procedures so he can live even though Daniel is the older brother and should be looking after buck not the other way around.

I want hurt/no comfort. or maybe a tinsy tiny bit of comfort after an earthquake shattering amount of hurt.

if you have recs, please comment them.

if not please write them lol.

sit tight, this is a long one.

Okay, i’m gonna be so honest, i’m actually scared of what’s gonna happen in the next episode, like it’s a few hours away and im genuinely scared… but i am terrified for episode 13.

Im not sure if this is completely accurate but ive seen a couple people saying it’s eddie centric and it’s 65 minutes long. i cannot stress this enough, this is a procedural network show, they had to negotiate with the network to allow them an extra 20 minutes, EVERYTHING in that episode was intentional and necessary.

i was talking to my friend and we discussed possible outcomes and for the near future we have 3 potentials.

1. eddie comes back because he realizes his feelings for buck.

2. eddie realizes his feelings but isn’t ready to address them and he stays in texas.

3. (least favourite option) Eddie’s goodbye.

now i absolutely hate it but i really feel like it might be option 3 and im petrified. i have a few reasons that im leaning towards this and im going to stress, please convince me otherwise.

so first, the writers have set up the idea of buck living in eddie’s house for possibly up to a year. in 8.09 we have the interaction between buck and eddie where eddie states he signed a new lease for a year and needs to let his house or he will be bleeding cash. so we already have the potential for eddie to be letting his house for up to a year and this has been mentioned. the thing is, there was no need to add the timeline here unless to potentially imply he could come back or he’s planning on being gone for a while.

to branch off that last point, if he is leaving for a while, why wouldn’t he just stay? its no secret that eddie is a great father and will put chris’ needs before his own, we saw how he would fake a smile on calls with chris to try to be supportive. he’s willingly going back to texas because he wants chris to do what he needs to do but he can’t keep watching his son grow up through facetime. so… if chris is settled, which he clearly is (he’s had a birthday party with friends and family, he’s in chess club, he’s forming a life there), eddie wouldn’t drag him back to LA. He’s been there for months now, he’s happy, eddie wouldn’t force him, kicking and screaming, to come back to LA.

now i will admit, this last one may be a reach but ive been thinking none stop about this since last week, Eddie has changed over the last few episodes. understandable, his son left and now lives in a different state with eddies parents who have continuously tried to take him from eddie, but ive noticed some things.

for instance, a lot of people compared eddie and tommy’s interactions with buck because eddie knew buck, inside and out, and understood buck as if they could speak a language only they understand. Tommy couldn’t. Tommy would make jokes at bucks expense but not with the same warmth and care that eddie did. eddie was always fond, tommy felt patronizing. and recently ive been seeing a disconnect between eddie and buck, the most obvious being eddie not seeing that buck was lashing out because he’s scared of being abandoned.

the audience could see plain as day that buck was hurt and felt he was about to be abandoned, eddie takes it as buck trying to make him choose between his best friend and his son. it feels reminiscent of the divorce era.

as i said, i don’t want to believe it but i’ve been noticing things and i keep seeing people being so excited about buddie but im honestly scared. this seems too complicated and i also feel like potentially, a big factor in this will be chris’ feelings.

Chris has obvious and completely valid concerns when it comes to eddies significant others, we have shannon (i personally liked shannon but she was definitely flawed, so im not bashing her character just stating facts) who walked out and abandoned her son and husband not long after eddie returned from war, he had been injured, was traumatized and had no idea how to balance being a single dad and working and healing. when she came back she was only around for a short while before she died and that traumatized chris. he was having nightmares about her in the tsunami… boy was troubled! Then we had ana, who started out as chris’ teacher, became a huge part of his life and then eddie broke up with her and she was gone. then marisol, met, dated, moved in, moved out and then eddie cheats on her with his dead wife’s doppelgänger. Chris absolutely has concerns and they’re completely understandable. I can see chris being very wary of buck and eddie because buck is so important to chris and doesn’t want anything destroying that relationship. i’m not implying chris has an issue with eddie being gay but just that he wouldn’t trust his dad not to destroy things with buck. then, because eddie only wants to fix things with chris, he disregards what he could have with buck and stays in texas.

the parallels with abby’s departure and to previous conflicts between buck and eddie just make me think it’s not going to end well. i feel like if anything we’re gonna see buck character development throughout the years in how he handles losing eddie compared to abby.

Please convince me otherwise because im scared.

okay, consider this your brief little content warning, there will be vague mentions of sex.

I need a fic rec again my dudes!

I was talking to a friend about the dynamics that buddie may have in bed and i’ve come to the conclusion that we have all been wrong. Eddie Diaz definitely has a body count of maybe 3. He married Shannon, his high school sweetheart and probably lost his virginity to her, then dated Ana and then Marisol. He definitely didn’t sleep around after Shannon left because he was learning how to be a single dad… He’s a blushing virgin. He’s also gay…

THE SECOND THAT MAN EXPERIENCES GOOD SEX AND A DECENT ORGASM HE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!!

I can see it now, he has incredible, earth shattering sex and then instantly decides he is a pillow princess and will not do anything. Buck can do all the work.

Recs please, also feel free to discuss with me in the comments.

Thanks darlings!!!

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

Okay, i have this uncontrollable urge to read a buddie fanfic where Buck just verbally destroys Ramon and Helena Diaz for the shit they put Eddie through, for not helping him and instead just trying to take the ‘problems’ away (i.e. Eddie was struggling to parent Chris when Shannon left and trying to work at the same time ‘oh well why don’t you give your son to us’, and that kind of fuckery) and just being terrible parents.

I seriously need a confrontation. like, maybe Eddie gets hurt and because he’s unable to take care of Chris because he’s in a coma or something, Chris has to come back to LA and stay with Buck and the Diaz parents are pissed so they’re making little comments about how Eddie would let Buck, a man who has ‘no children’ and isn’t in a serious relationship and so on, take Chris. Obviously, Buck ignores this because he has had his parents be awful to him his whole life and he doesn’t really ever confront them and he just ignores it.

I want it all to blow up when Helena says something about Eddie, maybe not even anything particularly bad, just a criticism about his job making it hard for him to be a good father (not that i believe that but still just something like that) and Buck LOSES it. Because let’s face it, he would go to war for his Diaz boys, or anyone he loves for that matter.

I’m picturing it in the hospital room where Eddie is, Buck just starts yelling about how terrible they are for taking Chris away, how they never helped Eddie, how they blame him for so much that just isn’t his fault and on and on and on. It has to be the embodiment of ‘there is no room of people where i wouldn’t defend your name’.

Helena is dead silent and she walks away and then Eddie wakes up, but he kind of heard everything and yeah, i don’t even care how it ends but yeah, i need this like i need to breathe…

So any recommendations?? Please and thank you!!!

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

also sometimes I wonder if producers and Tim just look at oliver's social media habits and sigh like "can you atleast act like you like bucks love interest and post about them" & he's just like nah but I will post this and its just buddie lmao i know if we are seeing it they are definitely seeing it 😂

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

One thing that I will always love about Buck and Eddie is those two men are in cahoots. They're partners. They share a single brain cell.

Buck says 80s themed party, Eddie suggests matching costumes.

Buck says they should bring the party to Chimney, Eddie says they need to get an uber.

They're each others ride or die and I love that.

“i DiDn’T kNoW yOu cOuLd BrInG a DaTe tO a BaChELoR pArTy” because this would’ve changed what, edmundo? would you have invited the nun? would you do body shots off her dressed as jesus? what difference would this have made

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

I can see an episode where buck is misunderstood over something he says and he’s accused of being homophobic and he quickly tries to fix it by saying “oh my god no no no I’m an ally!” and chimney stops dead in his tracks to point out “you’re also dating a man” and buck has a moment of realization, then nods and says “oh yeah! that too.”

Choose your next words very carefully you moldy wrinkly fucks

Wipe that horrified look off your face Margaret before I punch it off and just smile because your son is happy and cared for by the hottest pilot in the hemisphere

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

I am convinced Buck had NO CLUE.

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

what they have said since I was a teenage girl: hold your keys between your fingers so you can jab him in the face, check your car before you get into it, don't go out alone, don't leave your drink unattended, not that it's her fault but she should have used common sense what they are saying now: what do you mean you'd rather meet a bear than a strange man when alone in the woods?

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

You can make fun of Evan Buckley's tendency to flirt with hot men by making fool of himself with being territorial himbo, but he made two hot men fall for him. One kissed him and asked out and the other one babytrapped him. So it's working

[buddie-has-me-in-a-chokehold]

bobby the matchmaker watching buck flirt with a death doula when the boytoy he picked for him five fucking years ago is literally right there: BUCK 😠 LET'S GOOOOO 😤
