Okay, so I saw a tweet earlier about the donor arc, the look on Buck's face when he first holds that child and how he has to steel himself to hand over that baby to Kameron.

And I'm on my bullshit today, because it's such a cruel writing choice for Buck as a character. Because this man is so fearful of people leaving him, he cannot handle rejection, and a baby can't do either of those things... so Buck has to do it for them. Be the one to leave this time. What a knife to the gut! And sure, if Buck really wanted to be a donor, he could be a donor. But to not only make him a donor to a former friend/roommate (and let's be honest, Connor had to have been a crush, he followed that boy from Peru to LA), someone he personally knows is raising a child that is biologically his, to then having the woman carrying this child who will be the mother of this child give birth at his apartment, on his couch, and he is the one to deliver the baby and the first one to hold them. And you expect me to believe that Buck just moved on from that? That he didn't feel every single second of that deep in his soul?

That man is still thinking about that baby.

He wants a family. And he's been subconsciously building one with Eddie, he's co-parenting Chris. But that is never explicitly stated or talked about. He doesn't have a relationship with the Buckley parents. He only has Maddie. Bobby has been mentioned as a father figure in a few instances, but they have not recognized that to each other. And you want me to believe that Buck would move on from holding his own baby in his arms?

No, I don't buy it.

Buck could never be a "donor, not dad" with that much personal connection. Kameron was living in his loft at the end of her pregnancy! The lines are so blurred, they don't even exist anymore! The only way he could have successfully had a donor arc was if it was anonymous.

So, give me the fic. The fic where Buck grieves that loss of family. Where he still grieves it after s7, because Chris is gone, and it feels kind of similar. There's barely any contact, if any at all, and someone else is raising your kid.

Because Buck thinks about that baby.

He always will.

Imma need at least one scene of Captain “they wanted me straighten things out around here” Gerrard getting schooled on regulations by Firefighter Evan “just give me a clipboard and I become the biggest pain in the ass but I’m doing it by the book to a T so there’s nothing you can do about it” Buckley.

I think if certain cast members are quiet on social after the finale has aired, that speaks volumes.

I’m sorry, but the fact that they consistently were getting full scripts within 24 hours of filming. Not some rewrites.

The season was rushed, the writing was bad.

Defend your favs all you want, but there was some OOC shit going on.

Also, Eddie Diaz is a good dad.

He’s breaking the cycle.

Eddie Diaz is a good dad.

I am at this moment a little disappointed with this finale. My main issue being that the wrapping of all the storylines was just so rushed, predictable, or underwhelming. And I get it, it was a shortened season, they had less time to write and film than they normally would. But it didn’t hit the way I would have hoped, or in the way press kept hyping it up.

Like it does set up some interesting things for season 8, and I’m still invested to see what happens with the 118. But season 7 came out the gate so strong with the cruise arc, and then week after week it fell flatter and flatter. And I think with the cruise they bit off more than they could chew in order to get it done that the rest of the season and ultimately the finale suffered.

And don’t get me wrong, there were some great moments in season 7, and Bobby’s episode is still one of my favourites. But yeah, just a little let down by this conclusion.

If I could get a rewrite fic for this season that would be great!

7x10 "All Fall Down" Synopsis

Following the devastating fire at the Nash home, Bobby’s fate remains uncertain, while Athena embarks on a mission to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, Hen and Karin engage in a heated custody battle, while Christopher grapples with forgiving Eddie.

Has anyone else thought about the fact that Maddie and Chimney make a big deal out of calling Buck "Uncle Buck" for the first time after Jee-Yun was born in 4x09? But by this point, he's already close with Eddie and Christopher, but no one assumes that that's what he'd be to Chris.

Considering the 118 have witnessed the argument in the grocery store, Buck planned Christmas for the 118 because of Christopher (Hen witnessed him asking if he could spend Christmas with Buck), Buck telling Maddie that he's not really a guest at Eddie's house, Eddie telling Chim that the 118 is the family they chose, helping to build a skateboard for Chris (which Eddie puts on his own Instagram account), and Buck talks about his concerns for Chris going away to camp in front of the 118. Like all of this happens before Jee is born.

But no one makes that assumption. Buck is not considered an uncle until Jee-Yun.

That just stood out to me on my rewatch. Even before we found out about the will at the end of season four, it was already established that everyone sees Buck as Eddie's co-parent to Chris. Before he even truly takes on that parental role after Eddie gets shot.

He is his Buck. And his Buck is synonymous with dad.
