My Bobby Nash theory for 9-1-1 episode 15ish

AN: //Discussions of 9-1-1 leaks (like a week old atp) + spoilers for s8e14\\

So there were leaks of Bobby’s funeral a few weeks back.

(Photos via stllakidd on twitter)

People have been floating the idea that it’s a fake death because the characters don’t seems too unhappy and how could they let such a big plot point leak (and also nobody wants to believe it). I do believe it a fake death and here’s why:

To recap from the last episode, the team got exposed to a deadly virus and had to be quarantined off. Only for them to realize that Chimney is infected. Fortunately, there is an effective cure. Though there’s only one, and it’s needed for replication reasons in case of complications/spread of the virus/etc.

The military agent directly says that if they administer the vaccine they will face life in max security prison. (Sorry for the quality)

Bobby says in response to this that he’ll do it and take the fall.

Obviously, per the cliffhanger there were complications with this. However, as I don’t think they’d kill Chimney and he is present in Bobby’s funeral, they clearly will get ahold of the vaccine.

So then my conviction is that Bobby will be the one to administer the vaccine and then to avoid persecution and life in prison they will fake his death (at least temporarily) and that’s why there’s the funeral scene.

I don’t know how they’ll resolve it so that he can go back to being the captain of the firehouse or if he’ll just retire (I doubt it atp), but the show’s soapy, so however they do it I’m just gonna nod along.

opening tumblr and seeing destiel trending is like russian roulette either its undeniably canon or world war 3 has started only one way to find out

"which could mean nothing" well my good friend eddie diaz said "it's not nothing" so maybe you should reconsider actually

[foxedfriend]

A longer yap:

He never seems worse than anyone else and in fact, I’m so serious he comes across as a really caring person, literally always trying to do the right thing. He always has good intentions. Like, outcome vs intention, but if the intention is good then he’s not gonna come across as mean?

To me (burn me at the stake if you wish), he just seems like good autism representation. Like, having good intentions, doing the right things and what makes the most sense, caring so much about people and their pain, but everyone thinks you’re evil and mean spirited anyways because you never say the right things and can’t properly express your feelings. Even when you’re not talking any worse than the rest of them. But they act like you are. And maybe you just start agreeing with them. Even though you do care. You have always cared. So much. That it hurt.

Maybe it’s just my experience and I’m a little bit stupid, but it is a frequent occurrence in my life when I’m making a joke or even what I see as a neutral observation and get called rude or a hater. I won’t say I always have perfect intentions or kindness in mind, but almost every time someone makes one of these comments it catches me off guard.

I know part of House’s character is that he likes to push people away and that he’s cold on purpose. I don’t know. I wouldn’t have noticed. Just that he doesn’t compliment them often, or tell them that he likes them and express his feelings. That never comes across as mean to me, but maybe that’s just because I relate a bit.

No because if they didn’t tell me every single episode that House was an asshole who treats everyone he cares about like shit I genuinely wouldn’t have noticed.

He’ll do illegal things, but they’re morally logical (imo) and when he’s rude to people that just seems like he’s being funny?? They’re funny comments?? Yes, it’s at inappropriate times, but that’s the autism of it all.

Supernatural spoilers for like the whole show//

Thinking about how it was ok to make God canonically bisexual in Supernatural, but Dean Winchester wasn’t allowed to be.

It was so easy for them too. SO EASY. They were just like “oh btw god has had bfs as well as gfs!” And that was it. No hints, no subtext, no dramatic buildup and easing the audience into it. None of that. Just. God’s bi I guess 🤷‍♂️. Even though it seems like a throwaway, practically a funny gotcha! line. It’s still there.

That’s what hurts the most for me. Just how easy, how effortless queer rep seemed to be for the show in later seasons. Nothing crazy. Nothing extreme. A simple sentence. A romantic interest who happens to be of the same gender.

Even for God. Something from our reality that a lot of people believe in. Religious people generally don’t like it when people make things up about him because it messes with their image of something they genuinely believe in. But the show did it anyway. They didn’t really seem to care about upsetting people. Even though their target audience was originally macho cis het men (those who are generally more conservative and Christian leaning). Oh yeah just make him bi.

But not Dean. No, never Dean. There’s no way they could make him bi or gay or anything like that. He’s our manly hero. Our main good guy.

No, that’d be crazy. You’re crazy. Oh yeah all of these random side characters are queer and engage in queer behaviours: evil witches, the king of hell, the most macho burly hunter you’ve ever seen (shoutout Jesse), LITERALLY GOD HIMSELF. But not Dean. Don’t be stupid now. Oh yeah Cas is queer and in love with Dean. Maybe. But Dean would never reciprocate that. Dean isn’t gay. He can’t be. For some reason.

And that’s how the show ended.

I appreciate everything said and done by actors and writers later on and I know what’s true in my heart and have my own interpretations of the text of the show, but it kind of would’ve just been nice to have something concrete and official in the show. A small line. You know. Would’ve made me feel a little less crazy. A little less alone.

[foxedfriend]

I think. I’m in love with her. What could’ve been if only we hadn’t been separate by some 5 decades...

Why was she doing so much?? Long ahh degree. Full time career. Housework. Cat lady. Loving wife and mother. And had a hand in creating fandom?? Are you actually joking? She is literally that girl.

Wonder how this queen is doing today

Edit: For those wondering, this is from a 70s nsfw sci-fi zine called "alien brothers" (more specifically, page 83). This little paragraph was right above a k/s smut fanfic written by this lady.

HOW?? WHY?? WDYM THE FIRST TOP CRIMINAL MINDS POST CONTAINS MAX VERSTAPPEN X READER

[foxedfriend]

The year is 2364, social media platforms of all kinds rose and fell like empires. Only tumblr is still running, a reminder of times long gone. The number one trending topic: Destiel.

[foxedfriend]

Ik this is old, but this was beautiful. You have a gift.

the year is 2026. the Enochian dub of 15x18 drops: Cas’s speech is just him screaming I’M GAYLY HOMOSEXUAL FOR THIS MAN IN A QUEER WAY I SWEAR BY EVERY FRUIT IN THIS DAMN CLUB. they’re canon again for the 723rd time. Misha breaks his own record of days being bisexual by two weeks. Jensen legally changes his name to Dean Winchester. Lil Nas X announces he’s running for governor by posting the Destiel Delivers the News meme. Tumblr buys the rights to Supernatural and orders a third prequel series set in Superhell. 5 November is declared a bank holiday.

[foxedfriend]

Ughh this is such a perfect read. Fits every piece into place. There are no notes. No words. No thoughts.

Side note: literally never getting over the way Will immediately called him out and Mike’s psychotic exclamation of “we’re friends”. I’ve never known peace.

(warning: long)

we should talk more about mikes choice of words in the rink o mania fight, or rather the writers choice of words

"You basically sabotaged the whole day!!"

sabotage

in case you need a reminder of what sabotage means

deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct

mike is not just saying will was being a douche for moping, rolling his eyes, and barely talking. he's saying wills a douche because he's doing it on purpose. not even just on purpose either, he's saying will planned this. will wanted to ruin the day. mike thinks will was out to get him by withholding his friendship. obviously will wasn't doing any of this, he just moped because he felt brushed off by mike and was ignored (or so he thought).

that kind of behavior, thinking the consequences of his own actions are a planned attack against him, is very consistent with the way he acted in s3 when el dumped him and he blamed it on max.

we can connect this directly to mike's apology where he calls himself a self-pitying idiot. the self-pity is mike allowing himself to believe it's not his fault that his day sucked, that it's not his fault will is acting this way. deep down he knows it's his own fault by purposefully brushing will off at the airport, but he was being so self-absorbed and self-pitying that he convinced himself it wasn't.

"why is this on me?? why am i the bad guy??"

so lets go through this again, inferring from mike's own words.

when will left hawkins, he felt weird. he'd just spent the whole summer trying to be grown up and acting like he didn't care about dnd anymore, shutting will down and really hurting him in the process, so he probably feels embarrassed that he now feels the exact opposite. he enjoyed spending time with max, lucas, and dustin but it just wasn't the same without will. he missed will so badly that the fact that will was barely reaching out got to his head, and he felt too insecure to find out for himself. he didn't know if will felt the same way or if he was doing fine without mike, making lots of new friends and enjoying life. he was afraid he'd lost will. then here comes el with her letters saying how life is awesome and they have lots of friends. mike probably thought, oh now i'm DEFINITELY not telling him how i feel. the letter about will potentially liking a girl was the final straw. wow. so he's occupied with some girl and thats why he won't talk to me. so now mikes determined to not give will an inkling of an idea that he's bothered or that he cares. psh, mike could care less. maybe when will sees that mike totally doesn't care he'll feel like he screwed up and he'll be super nice to compensate and win mike back.

so mike gets to lenora and hey, will, i totally don't care about seeing you, see how i dodged your hug? i don't care. then he sees the painting. maybe it's not for someone he likes, maybe it's for me. here you go will, opportunity one to win back my affection.

"Uh, what's that?"

"Um, it's nothing, it's just this painting I've been working on."

"Cool."

operation-act like i don't care: EEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR FAILED.

LOOK at his face bro. he looks heartbroken.

from here on mike just got more and more annoyed. will isn't trying to win him back, he isn't compensating for the months of silence. he's acting sad. he's acting sad? he has the audacity to act sad after he made all these friends and left me behind?? no, this is not my fault, this is not on me. it gets under his skin in a way he can't ignore. those feelings of guilt and annoyance that will is causing mixed with his months worth of self pity and convincing himself he's not the problem leads him to another thought. he's doing this on purpose. he's punishing me. this was his plan all along. he's trying to ruin my day for no reason, because i clearly didn't do anything to deserve this.

then angela shows up and humiliates el and mike, for some insane reason, uses this as an excuse to express his anger to will, even though it had literally nothing to do with will.

"You should've told me she was having trouble."

"Well, I didn't know they were gonna be here, Mike."

"Yeah, but you knew she was having trouble for like a year and didn't tell me."

in WHAT world is this will's fault?? he had absolutely no idea el was lying until that day. and mike is blaming him? no, he's really not, he just wants a reason to express his anger without having to admit why he's angry.

"Well, I didn't know she was lying to you."

"Is that why you decided to be a douche to her all day?"

her. he's hiding behind el's name. psh, what? i don't care that you weren't talking to me, it's because of el.

el just got publicly humiliated and mike thinks now is the time to get on will and act like el's biggest problem was will not talking to her?? no way. he just doesn't want will to know that these are his feelings.

"I wasn't being a douche!"

this completely sets mike off. how dare will act all innocent after what he did to me all day? any part of him that was trying to hide that will's behavior is bothering him has been completely overridden. will purposefully withholding his attention from mike has pissed him off soooooo badly that he can't keep it to himself anymore or hide behind el.

"You were! You were! You were rolling your eyes, you were moping, you were barely talking you basically sabotaged the whole day!"

yup, thats right will. i know exactly what you're doing and i'm calling you out on it.

"Well she was lying to you, Mike! Straight to your face ever since you got here! And...and I've been a total third wheel all day it's been miserable. So sorry if I wasn't...if i wasn't smiling."

third wheel? really?

"Yeah, whatever man."

"Well what about us?"

"What?"

i imagine this is where mike shits himself. i mean he literally stops in his tracks. will is directly addressing what he'd been trying to hide his care for the whole time, them. all of a sudden after all these months, he cares about us? and it's poking at that weird feeling he had, like he missed will too much. like he was feeling too much.

"What, you're mad that I didn't talk to you? Seems like you've made it super clear you're not interested in anything I have to say."

"That's just not true."

mike says that so fast it's like a knee-jerk reaction. of course he cares what will has to say. all he's wanted all day, and all this time for that matter, was for will to talk to him. and will is blaming him?

"You called maybe a couple times. It's been a year, Mike. Meanwhile El has like a book of letters from you."

now mike's defense is kicking in. he feels like will is directly picking at that feeling. the weirdness. the fact that he feels differently for will than the rest of his friends, even his girlfriend.

"That's because she's my girlfriend, Will!"

"And us?"

now the alarms are going off. he knows something. "us" for will in this moment is just their friendship. "us" for mike is something more, because that's what's been brewing in him the whole time they've been apart. internalized homophobia in 3..2..

"We're friends! We're. Friends."

"Well, we used to be best friends!"

oh. he was just talking about our friendship. i was tweaking a little bit. and...ouch. will just officially said they aren't best friends anymore. and he's blaming it on mike. but mikes defenses are still up high.

"Well...well maybe you should've reached out more, I don't know! But why is this on me? Why am I the bad guy?!"

then will is lost for words, and he just look sad. and as mad as mike is, he hates seeing will that way.

i imagine the day or two between this and his apology, mike went over this fight in his mind multiple times. and the more he thought about it, the more he realizes, ah shit. i was way too in my head and this was completely one sided. will wasn't plotting against me, i just felt so bad for myself i convinced myself i did nothing wrong. all this because i thought he found new friends and i felt bad for myself. and now i've lost my best friend and made him feel like all of it is his fault. i have to let him know it's all on me.

tldr: mike is weird and gay.

Your honour, what the “witness” fails to mention about the “attack” is that I only beat up the writer after they wrote a beautiful story of a queer character falling in love with their best friend over the better part of a decade, hint subtextually at it being requited, had the interviews and promotions of the media play into it and profit from queer viewers feelings… only to end it tragically and/or follow it up by writing the queer character a one dimensional love interest within the last few episodes, put nothing into the relationship, and have them be the endgame instead. Did I mention they yanked the fans around for YEARS?? Literally years. Almost a decade. Yeah. So. I plead self defence.

[foxedfriend]

no bc i've been watching this show for over a year now and while i would love nothing more than to see buddie actually be real,,, this is genuinely classic queerbaiting. like from the promo to the actors articles and interviews. all the hints and pieces when we know damn well there is almost no chance they have intentions of following through. this isn't my first rodeo. i saw what happened with sherlock/merthur/destiel and lived through the byler renaissance. i know what delusion does to ppl. i don't want that rn.

plsss i hate that there's still a sliver of hope inside. a part of me that hopes this might be something real, that i'm wrong about this. a part of me that's gonna be disappointed. it honestly kind of hurts. and it hurts to see everyone else sharing that hope knowing the disappointment they're about to feel. i can feel our disappointment before anything has even happened. cause i've felt that way before with other shows. and yet, despite everything, the hope persists.

WAIT OK BUT COLORS BY HALSEY???

"Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so. You said your mother only smiled on her tv show. You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope."

Like the bad family dynamics, and instead of dope his alcoholism. (Dean lowkey would've done drugs, but I'm not gonna go there)

And being "ripped at every edge, but you're a masterpiece"???

Like that's so "still beautiful, still dean winchester" coded!!

BUT ALSO; "I hope you make it to the day you're twenty-eight years old"

LIKE??? HE LITERALLY DIDN'T. HE DIED IN BOTH SEASON TWO (briefly) AND THREE??

Cas to Dean in s4

Diana by One Direction but it's Castiel saving Dean from hell!!!

"Diana, it's only been four months but you've fallen down so far. How could someone mislead you at all?"

"I wanna reach out for you, I wanna break these walls, I speak a different language, but I still hear you call"

AND THE CHORUS?? IT FITS SO PERFECTLY

[foxedfriend]

Maybe the real "Dean reuniting with Cas" was the friends we made along the way
