[justsmilestuffhappens]

Bobbys voice even cracks a little when he says 'you look real handsome' to buck. He definitely thought about how he never could do this with his son. 😭😭

Buck was the start of his new kids. I'm so emotional about this. I'm fine.

🙃

[littleblackraincloudofcourse]

Momentarily leaving behind everything happening in the world and my own chaotic life, speaking only about fandoms, I've been emotional for days.

After nearly a year without it, and what would have been a terrible finale, 911 is back for season 7 and I am cautiously optimistic for the future of the show.

But one year ago was also the premiere of Shadow and Bone season two, which turned out to be the final season even though the scripts for the spinoff are written and multiple stories in the Grishaverse were left unfinished.

Another thing that happened one year ago was the cancelation of Willow, which days later was claimed to be a hiatus. Two months later it was removed and seems increasingly less likely to return. There were two more Volumes planned.

For all that's great about 911 ( and 911 LS btw) and there is a lot, it's not exactly a unique concept. There's no shortage of first responder based series and most of them at least attempt to be diverse.

Where there is a definitive lack of inclusion, where there is in fact a real problem with racism, sexism, ableism and homophobia is in fantasy series, especially those in period settings.

The rare few that mange to subvert these problems are underpromted, targeted by trolls and review bombed leading to unfair early cancelations.

I won't go into long rants about what made Willow and Shadow and Bone stand out among this small selection (I've done that already if you're interested) I'll only reiterate the need for these and similar stories to be told.

So, if you've somehow stuck around to read all of this, you're probably already a fan of Shadow and Bone (Six of Crows) or Willow but if not, give them a chance.

And if you're a 911 (or 911 LS) fan, next time you're enjoying your favorite firefam joking and flirting while they fight fires and save lives, REMEMBER

He may not hear the universe screaming at him but, even Eddie Diaz wants magic

Random thoughts about 6x13 before we can move on with life again

OMG. That whole episode was chaotic perfection!!! I really love those "filler episodes" that are just wacky calls, mingled with some domestic firefam shenanigan, a lot of Buddie goodness, and some heartfelt drama. Like, girls (gn), we've been FED this whole episode.

Here a not at all ordered assembly of what was going through my mind, watching the episode:

Human Calculator Evan Buckley

I do hope Buck gets to keep his math skillz a while longer. And I'd really love to see it come in useful on a more serious call, too? But oh well, a fangirl can dream. Chimney asking if he did math "in his head???" was sending me. Just like Eddie's facial journeys during the math homework scene. Like, he's such a muppet.

On a more serious note, I wonder what they are going to do with that, moving forward. They laid on pretty heavy with the whole theme of figuring out the equation (hence answers in life), missing the assignment, and how Buck's skills may only be temporary. So it might be that he'll lose his way again (the same way his math skillz may leave again). We'll have to see. But it's... intriguing.

Babytrap and Sugarbaby

Like seriously. They stole this straight out of fanfic, I'm not even kidding. Eddie is babytrapping Buck so hard, only to start hustling together with him, and Buck happily handing over the money. Eddie Diaz, I'm in your walls.

Love to see Eddie being like: I will use your abilities, for evil. This guy (affectionate).

For real, though. What is the point of all that if not to give those two a nudge in the right direction (aka each other's muscly arms and taut tummies)? Eddie taking out Buck for poker dates... Them doing crime together... Them doing homework over at Buck's apartment... Buck being alone with Christopher to make cookies for school??? What is even happening??? And what's the point if not the BUDDIE AGENDA???

Also, Eddie Diaz, wear some sunglasses, your hearteyes are showing. Geez, wear some protection, you freak.

The Man with the Answers

Speaking of which, Buck's journey this season has now taken him to the stage where he feels like he is the one having the answers he's been seeking for so very long. He began this season, reading self-help books and asking e.g. Hen for the right answers. After his coma dream, Buck figured out some things about himself. He learned to appreciate his inherent value and could let go of the ghost of Daniel haunting him ever since that revelation.

Which is to say: They're moving the chess pieces in the right position, for the strategy to fully unfold. And I do believe it is the Buddie Agenda, I do.

I think a big hint was Eddie telling Christopher that the point of doing the homework himself instead of letting Buck run the calculations is that this is what's for Buck in store as well. Buck will only truly learn and get those life lessons he's so desperately seeking if he's the one to find the answers. He can't rely on self-help books or the opinions of others. He has to figure out that equation entirely on his own. He has to figure himself out.

Details that pointed me in a similar direction:

Buck telling Eddie why he didn't just get more gas: Because figuring it out was "more fun". AKA the getting to the destination is actually the goal. Buck is already where he needs/wants to be.

Eddie pointing out that those "superpowers" aren't permanent: Which may indicate that Buck will find himself struggling further down the road. Once he doesn't have the answers anymore (or rather, has them, but doesn't know how to act upon them).

Buck asking Eddie if he thinks Buck knew math all along (which is why it's actually no secret superpower via lightning ex machina): Because yes, Buck, you knew all along how to solve the equation, you're just running the wrong calculations right now. But I have faith in you that you will figure it out. Maybe just use a different measuring system!

Christopher pointing out that Buck may get more superpowers the stronger he gets: Which may be the big hint that Buck can have so much more than he currently has (more powers), the moment he understands that he already has these things (the family unit with Eddie and Christopher). He just has to claim his winnings.

I tend to believe the upshot is going to be that Buck has the answers, he just didn't put them together yet. It's like he has all the puzzle pieces, but he has to stick them together to see the grander picture (the secret ingredient). And my guess would be that it's going to be the resolution of the sperm donor storyline as well. He's looking right at the solution, and yes, it's Eddie and Christopher. And it has been all along.

The Sperm Donor Storyline(s)

Speaking of which YET AGAIN, I do find it interesting that we got this donor parallel (or antithesis) with Nathaniel and Denny vs. Buck and Kameron's and Connor's baby. Like, they now established that Nathaniel will get to play some role in Denny's life, because that is what Denny wants.

Which makes it hard for me to believe that the writers will choose the same route for Buck, also for the plain reason that they seemingly put Buck and Connor on different trajectories. Whereas Hen and Karen had an agreement with Nathaniel to keep his distance, Connor keeps sending sonograms and what not. He involves Buck actively in this whole "process" or "experience", which makes for an entirely different premise of how they are going to negotiate Buck's future role in Connor's life as well as that of Kameron and the child.

Which is something I honestly didn't see coming, I'll admit. I figured they'd take the route that him and Kameron would rather try to push Buck away (while he'd try to push into their lives). Because they chose someone as their donor who's not as much part of their social circle as Buck may have been, back when he and Connor were still roommates. The point being: I thought the storyline was going to be that Buck has to (painfully) accept Connor and Kameron having chosen him as the donor also because he'd be "easier to cut out of" their lives (and that of their child by extension). But that's not the route they are taking thus far.

But in the light of how they chose to have Nathaniel interact with Denny, I guess it makes sense. Because that'd be repetitive, in a way. Which isn't to say that Buck won't overstep and try to insert himself more into their lives than he should. I actually believe he will (it's been foreshadowed with the baby cozy and all). But Connor actively involving him thus far gives me a different vibe from what I'd previously estimated.

I'm interested to see whether they wish to explore how hard they make it on themselves, by Connor having Buck be that invested. Even though the reality is that Buck's always going to be donor not dad for that child. Like, I see great potential there. Just like I see potential character development for Connor, say, in a scenario where he feels like he's not the child's dad or so. And how he may come to struggle with that (or may even project that on Buck). There are many paths this could go.

But to turn this back to Buck here, the Nathaniel-Denny-storyline fits in so damn neatly. And I personally hope we get that kind of antithesis by the end of the season (because I'd find that very neat storytelling, is all). Namely, that Buck will do the opposite thing and extract himself from the child's life, having finally solved the equation that his family equals NOT Buck + baby but Buck + Eddie + Christopher. Because that is the stark contrast with Nathaniel. He doesn't have the family Buck already has. So that'd be the kind of bittersweet finale to that storyline I'd love to see, personally.

The Wilsons and Nathaniel

I still love to see the show standing true to exploring the different shapes family can take, now also by adding Nathaniel to the mix, portraying the tough reality that comes with this. It felt very real to me, how anxious Hen and Karen were that their son was slipping away from them.

I also liked to see Nathaniel owning up to his actions (albeit belatedly) and apologizing for his irresponsibility, without demonizing him. That guy feels very alone in this world, it'd seem, and to seek out that connection with Denny... It felt very human. So I loved to see them making it out to be just that, people making mistakes, but those mistakes being motivated by love.

And I LOVED to see Toni's growth as a character. Like, she's really trying to be there for her family, she serves as the messenger between Denny and his moms. And now she's seemingly also part of the rules Hen and Karen are setting for Nathaniel and Denny to safely interact. I love to see her safeguarding her family by opening up conversation and accepting people for who they are and how they feel. LOVE TO SEE IT. LOVE IT.

Also, loved how the Wilson family seemed to visually match, when they went to see Nathaniel at the hospital. Like, we saw a lot of yellows and blues, which signified to me that they were being there as a unit. Which tells me they're gonna be alright. Or as Toni said, they just need to figure out the right way.

Chimney's Journey to Healing

First of all, loved to see his interaction with Denny and with Hen. He's such a supportive uncle and friend (note: VERY different from what we see Buck and Christopher doing this whole episode, coz Buck ain't his uncle!!!). Like, I loved to see how he showed understanding for Denny and even let on about his own troubled feelings about his father. Even though that must still be heavy on his mind.

I do find it interesting that Chimney and the Buckley children seem to follow the same path: Which is not to forgive their parents, but to choose to let that anger/grief not control their lives anymore. Chimney has a family of his own and it's wonderful. So him coming to terms with his troubled relationship with his father in an effort to embrace the future he has as a family father is great for him. I do hope it pans out like that.

It also shows how the next generations (Chimney, Maddie, Buck) try not to repeat their parents' mistakes by holding on to e.g. grief but to choose to move on and embrace the future instead. Like, Chimney recognizes his father's humanity, well aware that this man's not changed one bit and did the terrible things he did and still does not see his son for what his son sees him (a fallible human being)... it highlights the long way Chimney's come and the great person he's become. And that's owed to the family he's found and his own strong character.

Like, I love to see that we get different versions of breaking vicious cycles.

With Eddie and Ramon, they seem to take a different route, in that Ramon seems to show genuine interest in reconnecting with Eddie, trying to find a better way for them to be father and son again.

With Toni and Hen, we see a similar thing. They reached a level of healing. Also, in that, Toni is stepping in and actively supporting her daughter and her family.

But then we still got those absentee parents who are seemingly never going to get past themselves. Which I feel is... very real in that way? You will have those people in your life. Some of them may even want to change, but they can't, past a certain point. And buying your son a new couch won't mend that relationship because you still haven't taken full accountability for what you've done in the past. Showing up to one family dinner (and being an absolute pest about it) is not going to mend things either. That's as much the reality of troubled family relationships as are the examples where there is a moving forward, together.

3 Minutes and 17 Seconds

That one's still sending me across the universe, right into a black hole. Like, they are nudging Eddie and Buck in a certain direction, but neither one is seemingly ready yet to solve the equation. Eddie knows down to the second how long he lived in a world where Buck was dead. And he feels the need to point that out, unprompted.

I honestly thought they'd have Captain Mehta point back to the shooting regarding the matter. But again, I guess timing is of the essence (maybe also signified by Buck's and Eddie's fancy watches). But after they were told that Eddie was welcome back without Buck as his human calculator, maybe we will see a second poker scene to get us there?

Like, there is something very purposeful about bringing the actor for Captain Mehta back after he left acting, really. You wouldn't do that if it didn't serve a purpose, right? And up until now, I haven't seen it. So maybe Eddie will play poker without Buck. And then Captain Mehta will say something about the shooting that either we as the audience don't know yet (e.g. Eddie lied to Buck about how little he remembers and he's only ever shared that in the poker family) or Eddie doesn't know (what Buck was like after he got shot, something that Captain Mehta witnessed first-hand).

Performance Anxiety Underway

Something that struck me was that Buck was, on the one hand, rather confident in his abilities that he started to hustle with Eddie. On the other hand, he seems very unsure about them (and what they may mean, or if they're meant to stay, or if they've been there all along). It gave me similar vibes to Buck being unsure if something's wrong with him, when the doctors did more and more tests, without telling him what may be wrong with him.

We got a hint in the previous episode that Buck still has a way ahead of him in dealing with his trauma. Right now, he is more caught up in those "new sensations", and doesn't know how to move on with his life. At the poker table, I also had a feeling that there were those moments when he wasn't just confused (as he often tends to be) or putting on a poker face. I felt like he feels out of place in a way, like he doesn't yet know what to do with his abilities/with his life, after this event. He is still doing lists to be sure he's back to reality (back to life), after all.

Deep-down, Buck is immensely insecure. And the moment he felt like something he used to be confident about (his abilities to sexually please his partners) may actually hit closer to home than just... you know, ego. They played it for laughs, having him call the women he's slept with. But they might actually turn this around to be something more serious (i.e. a symptom for something else).

Like, Buck is hellbent on pleasing other people, so potentially not being satisfactory in bed may just be the kind of performance anxiety we may see in the next episode. It ties in with Buck's previous fear that his donation isn't good enough, so he spends weeks being horny and hangry thanks to green smoothies.

If I remember correctly from some of the interviews, Buck has no intention to dip his toes back into the dating pool and will basically have the shutters on for now... Which makes it unlikely for me that he's gonna start sleeping around, to be sure that he's good at sex after all.

But if it wasn't just for laughs, I could see the theme of "having the answers already" coming back into play here. Though I'm not sure how. There's just something to that theme of Buck needing his body to be functional, and how it may give him serious anxiety, feeling like his body isn't doing what it's supposed to do (or rather, what he always believed his body was supposed to do).

On a side note: Buck telling Christopher that he likes to measure everything to feel like an actual chef hit a similar mark to me. Like, Buck is overthinking things, which may make him miss the assignment for now. Buck seemingly feels like he's only pretending at things right now (which may feed into his insecurities, really), or like he has to seize control (measuring things, calculating everything, doing those lists, and texting Bobby). Like. There is something there. I just can't wrap my wee head around it just yet.

So yeah, I can very well see Buck continuing to have performance anxiety. And I'd love to see more of that, in all of its awkward facets.

Healing Starts in the Kitchen

Kitchens continue to be the places to be for meaningful conversations for characters, and it seems to be back in full swing for Buck and Eddie. Last episode, Buck found himself finally relax when he was at Eddie's (and on Eddie's couch, hopefully soon just on Eddie). The conversation with Eddie in the kitchen definitely helped him in some ways, but the road ahead of him is still long.

It's an interesting choice that we continue to see Eddie, Buck, and Christopher being this domestic in the kitchen/at dinner tables. Like, we started out this season with Bobby's infamous lasagna and Boggle, and now we're here for math and popcorn and more math and cookies.

Others have already pointed this out, but Buck learns to express his care by cooking for his loved ones (contrast that with takeaway for his parents and waffles for Taylor at a point in their relationship where they were basically done for already). So having him repeatedly cook for/with Christopher and Eddie is just SUCH a big thing, I believe. We're shown that Buck's not just the uncle to come pick Christopher up when Eddie's car's broke. He is alone with Christopher, baking cookies for school with him. He is not just a donor, not just legal guardian (AKA the backup plan) here. And I do believe that part of Buck's journey is going to be to figure out that part of the equation.

We've already established in previous seasons that Buck's apartment is a safe space for Christopher, and it continues to be a second home for him. In the same way Eddie's house proves to be the same for Buck (as we were reminded last episode). Which has me think that part of the equation for Buck is to fully embrace that, or rather, see it for what it is, namely his path to happiness that's been there all along.

Honorable Mentions

Here's a list of things that was sending me:

Everyone of the firefam is a himbo, except for Athena and Karen. Which drives the point home that they're the only ones with the brain cell. Like honestly, Bobby and Chimney instantly jumping on detective work like that??? Buck calling his past sexual encounters??? They're all himbos, your honor!

Denny, take your damn shoes off when you are in bed, you little punk!!! Your moms raised you better than that!!!

Hen at the hospital being like "My husband? The heterosexual audacity!" was everything.

Buck continuing to creep people out with random knowledge now fueled by the power of math. We stan a himbo icon.

Eddie interrupting Buck thinking about women he's had sex with, like "I did not take you out to sexy poker night for you to use your brain for that right now, you traitor!"

I guess RIP to a favorite headcanon of mine that Buck's gonna blurt out at some point that he's screwed with plenty of guys in the past. Because he specifically started to think about the women he's slept with, though the guy was talking about partners (gn), I believe. If the writers wanted to keep that door open, I guess he would've said people or partners or whatever, too. But I shall keep it for fanfiction purposes forever and always. Because that scenario is always sending me places.

Chimney asking if Buck did math, in his head??? No, Chimney, he did it in yours, now get the hell out of here.

Buck calling the women he's had sex with... oh, those phone bills. Also: We stan a himbo icon yet again.

Buck and Eddie, doing crime, dressed in blue and red, looking damn fine. I'm here for every damn second of it.

Christopher's sass being back in full swing. We stan the one true icon.

So yeah, that's it. For now anyway. I guess I'll ramble a lot more. But I rest easy in the knowledge that Buck and Eddie marrying in Vegas just became a possibility.

Cheers!

[thewingedwolf]

i was 100% joking about Bobby losing his bestie in Michael and roping Athena into his Old Man Shenanigans just because the episode about Tanya and Joanna was an “Athena battles her demons” episode and not a “Bobby & Michael are nosy bitches” episode or one of the “the whole family is chaotic while running around the streets of LA” episodes where Athena usually plays the straight man but THEN we get another curse episode which combined the “the 118 is stupid & Eddie is a judgy old man” parts of firefam episodes and the “Bobby gleefully sticks his nose where it does Not belong” part of the Old Man Hang Outs except he did this with Athena instead of her disapproving!!!

this man really DID lose his bestie and then turn to Athena and went “so me and michael used to get weekly pedicures and then see which one of us could solve the crime in the latest true crime podcast first and since you’re my wife, legally you have to do that now” and instead of begging bobby to get a normal hobby, she just sighed and said “fine but only if i can bring diaz so we can be haters together” and I think that’s beautiful

[spicyrottingbrains]

The chaos over the trailer has been the highlight of my day.

But also I miss my silly little wee woo show. I can't wait to have all of them back. The chaotic 118, out to cost the LAFD more money than the higher ups could ever imagine; I can't wait. I really REALLY hope we get to see more of the rest of the firefam this season.

[elirandom]

Rules: List 8 tv shows for your followers to get to know you!

1. A selection of movies I rewatched so many times I wore out the VHS tapes. The Terminator 1984 (when T2 came Linda Hamilton blew me away), Platoon 1986, Aliens 1986 & Die Hard 1988. It's a lot of bonding strangers to survive, h/c, antiheroes or plain charismatic bad guys, hypothermia or fever, there was only one bed and bantering. The original wet rat blorbos. Also if it's not bloody obvious I had such crushes on Bruce Willis ,Tom Berenger and Michael Biehn, I watched so many bad 80s-90s movies because of them.

2. Wait a minute, TV shows, not MOVIES. My bad, I'm keeping nr 1 as is anyway. Hmm, I always list Hannibal or Buffy tVS/Angel tS whenever I do this so I'm gonna try to list something else that's major loves. So, Miami Vice 1984-1989. Baby me had such a crush on Don Johnson you could see it from space. Adult me gets it, bought the box & rewatches it from time to time, incl writing fic but never anything going somewhere.

3. The Expanse. It's probably a very obvious choice if you ever looked around my corner of Tumblr but I want more people to post about it so. Amos (my favorite pansexual murderbear), Holden (who gave me the Captaincy? Holy shit. How can I fix everything while also being stubborn and chaotic) Naomi (I live with my choices every day but I've got a new life here to do something with & I'll defend it with everything). OT3. Sometimes I want something of poly where Naomi & Drummer (dragon in the shape of a woman, a hoarding underdog with so much fight in her belly) gets to be happy too. But that's just to name a few, it's not often I'm so very invested in so many characters in a show but they all have arcs and space to exist. Unfortunately one of the mains isn't clicking with me at all so the first season took me a while to find all the gold.

4. 9-1-1; besides the love I have for the firefam I'm completely sucked into the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one. And the sunshine one is a golden retriever who's loyal to a fault and just needs food and love. While the grumpy one finds that letting the sunshine in makes life a helluva lot easier even if both of them almost dies a lot.

5. Hawaii 5-0. Talking about grumpy and sunshine. These two fit the bill too, they just can't decide who's who depending on the day and the drama. Danny's usually the negative one always predicting chaos. But Steve tends to be tortured or have shitty family secrets so his sunshine isn't that shiny all the time. But they're brilliant at bickering about everything which kinda gets them even. Instead they're great at hugs and saying I love you. I despise several plotlines but I can't quit them (I couldn't find a gif that includes Danny saying "Stop looking at me like that" in this scene but alas)

6. Stargate Atlantis, my first team turned into family, and my one and only OT4. McShep was my biggest fave, but i enjoyed team!fic just as much as OT4 fic. Reluctant leader with slinky hips and no self-preservation, paired with a smartass with a big mouth who always came through, a smarter woman who didn't get to kick people in the balls enough and stoic warrior who actually was the puzzle piece missing and more than meets the eye. They're a comfort fandom.

7. Due South. A weird cute soft series I didn't know had a fandom until after it was finished in early 2000s. And then I fell into fic (I never got to see the Ray wars up close luckily) and read so much by Speranza among many more. I've rewatched it a few times, esp if I'm home sick it's a comfort show.

I ran out of allowed gifs😭. Well, fuck.

8. Criminal Minds. I've rewatched this show many times because it's something about catching the bad guys and solving the case all neatly tied up. Another show I love but is even sadder and more horrible is Oz because happy ends doesn't exist because humanity is rotten and we pay for our choices. But it's so good I sometimes wanna rewatch it, I bought the DVD box. But then I remember how much I cried at certain eps, like the brothers and I don't. But sometimes it's good to cry over fictional characters.

[thegirlwithataser]

Hello! I'm a fan of your buddie fic, don't keep me waiting, and I was wondering if you were thinking of continuing it? (No pressure! Just going through my bookmarks on ao3 and I reread it and remembered how much I loved it)

Hi! Thank you so much! Comments like this truly mean the world to me<3

So, here’s the thing. I have gotten this question a lot because it’s my only mutli-part fic, and a lot of people have read it. I’m not going to say that it will never be continued because I have no clue how I’ll feel in the future. But at the moment I have no plans to continue it. It was supposed to be a kind of canon-compliant work, and the show went in such an opposite direction and I just completely lost motivation for it. 

The good news is that if you like my writing for Buck and Eddie, I’ve got five other completed works for them on ao3!! Plus I’ve got a few other unposted WIPs and I adore writing prompts. My ask box is literally always open and I would love to do a prompt fic for anyone. I don’t typically do fics with chapters because I always lose interest, but I will straight up post 100k one shots. 

So I’m really sorry that ‘don’t keep me waiting’ probably won’t be continued, but I’m linking my other works below (with little summaries), and I always love getting fic ideas from people in the fandom. Thank you so much for reading my stuff, I really can’t express my love and gratitude enough<3333333

My ao3

My personal favorite: 

we’ll be carrying each other (10.5k)

This is a Buck & May heavy fic, in which May essentially adopts Buck as her big brother. Complete with Lesbian!May Grant, May painting Buck’s nails, and a whole lot of Buddie goodness, this is easily my most popular fic and is very much a love letter to found families and self-discovery. Lot’s of mutual pining, mots of firefam feels, and if you like the Friend!Taylor Kelly teasing Buck for his very obvious crush on Eddie, then good news: theres plenty of that in here too.

The rest of my Buddie works:

(nothing but) flowers (5.4k)

in which Eddie gives Buck houseplants as apologies but Buck is scary good at keeping them alive and the whole situation drives Eddie kind of insane (happy ending and also some hurt/comfort)

Let’s Do It Now or Never (6.8k)

this was written pre-bucktaylor and in it Buck and Taylor are platonic (and chaotic) best friends, Taylor is significantly less selfish, and Eddie gets extremely jealous of her presence in Buck’s life and can’t figure out why he’s so upset (spoilers: it’s because he has a huge crush on buck)

Never Let You Go (2.8k)

This one was a prompt fill where Buck and Eddie end up in a car accident, and Eddie panics and confesses his love and Buck gets injured. (happy ending tho)

some things you just can’t speak about (1.1k)

This one isn’t really a full fic. It was written immediately post 4x13 and is kind of a missing scene in the hospital after Eddie is taken in where Buck cleans the blood off of him. This fic is pretty sad, so if you like angst, check it out! (ambiguous ending)

[papabearbobbynash]

Okay I’ve talked enough about Lucy for the past days, I wanna talk about Bobby.

Things I wish for S6:

Bobby and Athena Honeymoon shenanigans

Bobby and Athena saving people together/ saving people while worried about each other sake (this is all based on the assumption that their luck falls as fast as Eddie did after getting shot, and they have to avoid becoming the next Jack and Rose of television)

Bobby and Eddie cooking together or even making a competition (they can’t just make full effort in showing the man can now cook and not give me them both cooking for firefam)

Bobby being Buck’s paternal figure because all we got from S5 was in May Day and honestly it’s not enough for me, I need more.

Bobby being chaotic. 

[eddiecore118]

Cursed was so good!!!!!!! Absolutely loved:

1. The chaotic trio that is Hen/Chim/Eddie

2. Athena and Eddie! The team up I never knew I wanted but absolutely give us more!!!

3. Dinner @ Bathena’s with Diaz backstory

4. Eddie just thriving! Healthy and healing!!!

5. Chimney Han!!! Missed you during season 5

6. Firefam eavesdropping on Buck! Hilarious but clearly because they care

7. The universe screaming at Buck

8. I know it wasn’t a Buddie beach scene but I liked the Eddie and Felisa conversation because it was just so representative of how Eddie is healing and he is just a kind and compassionate man. Like that scene was soft. In case people haven’t guessed I adore Eddie Diaz 🥰.

But that ending? It felt so ominous especially since that’s the second appearance of the slutty black tank top this season. First time with Eddie saying he will always protect Chris and that shot of “what’s in my future” right after Eddie made reference to Shannon’s death and almost losing Chris to the Tsunami. Like it feels pointed indeed! Danger folks! Protect the Diaz boys at all costs!

Super excited for the next two episodes and not sure how I’m going to make it until spring!!!

The numbers got lost 😕

My favorite fic of yours

A: umm, like all of them??? But I really love "waving through a window", "buckley bookshop", "hiding the Christmas present (of you and me)", and like that one drabble-ish one of Buck during his probie year???! Loved that one!

What I like the most about your writing

A: I know you don't write about minor characters and can I just say your fics are like the only fics that I enjoy reading that don't mention the firefam kids? Usually if Chris isn't mentioned in a fic I'm like 😑😮‍💨. But with your fics I don't even notice until after I've completed it and I'm like??? Where was Chris? 😅 anyways, that was a compliment if you couldn't tell. Your fics are so intriguing you can leave out a critical character and I won't even notice.

A fic i’m excited for you updating/posting

A: Buckley. Siblings. I'm am just so intrigued by the snippets you've posted so far, cause?! Baby Buck?? Ghost Daniel and protective Maddie?? Yes please!

If i’ve ever shared/talked about your fic to someone else

A: Umm...I think my "fics I love" speak for themselves 😅

Oh that's so interesting because I'm almost the exact opposite. I tend to steer clear of fics where the characters played by minors are big parts within the story.

OH MY GEEE Waving Through A Window! So I actually had that first one written for a while but I shelved it because I thought it wasn't very good. Now look at me 🤣

Buckley Bookshop AU is still one of my proudest achievements. I was a little nervous because obviously Madney was a big proponent so I was out of my comfort zone and also Maddie is super hard to write but I'm so happy with how it came out. I low-key kinda loved awkward authority figure Chimney and you know I love to write a feral Maddie. Plus teenaged Buddie and then later adding Taylor to the chaotic trio? I had so much fun! I honestly think it's some of my best whump and the sequel with Eddie and Abuela is one of my best writing.

Probie Buck my beloved. ❤️ I've been feeling the urge to write something for him so we shall see what I come up with. 😇

I forgot to post this before the episode but I don't think any of them hit yet

my favorite fluffy headcanon about Eddie and Buck is that they went to cooking classes together. like sure they learn from bobby or tia pepa when they can but they also go to cooking classes together and get better together.

also Eddie is a really good cook! he USED to suck but he worked hard to improve just like he did in every aspect of his life and now he is a better cook than Buck<3

<3 hope these are fluffy enough for you<3 sending you good vibes and distraction

Thank you for this lovely! Buddie cooking classes sounds absolutely adorable but also has the ability to be utterly chaotic!

Eddie has got better but I bet he still has some disasters in the kitchen and Chris will absolutely roast him for it or tell him how Buck's version is better!

I absolutely adore that we've seen him getting better and every scene we get with Buck cooking for his firefam just makes me so happy!

i think i said this before in tags but the firefam should be the scooby gang for halloween. bobby is scooby, eddie is shaggy, hen is fred, chimney is daphne, and buck is velma

i'm so excited for jinx next week you have no idea!! it's one of my favourite episodes (aside from the eddieana bits but honestly they're ok in this episode so) and i'm so looking forward to the COMEDY

Yaaaas, you're so right, Jinx is hilarious. That and Treasure Hunt always just put me in a good mood from watching because they're so light-hearted ahhhh <33

I love clipboard!Buck and exasperated-but-fond!Eddie and I love that Buck is not really down for human or animal sacrifice to appease the gods, and the way it's pure chaotic firefam from start to finish...

...sharing that single braincell of theirs, texting and googling for tips on lifting curses, just trying to get through the day....

....without being killed OR killing each other....

and looking amazing while doing it :D

Buck: The universe is screaming at you and you refuse to listen! Eddie: The universe does not scream :)) ⚡*1000s volts of electricity screams at Eddie*⚡ Eddie: 😬
