Season 7 Press Article Buddie Analysis

Okay I don't usually write meta/spec on press runs/articles but I found these super fascinating today, especially in comparison to how the showrunners (including Tim himself) and the actors have spoken about their arcs in the past.

First I want to say that in these interviews the goal is never actually to give the audience any important information but rather to tease, and purposely be as vague as possible. So most of what they're saying will likely have double meanings and all of them are being extremely careful with the words they choose to say. Now with that out of the way in the first EW article (linked here), I found several things extremely interesting.

Calling Marisol Eddie's "Hardware store flirtation". It's so funny to me, for one, but it's also interesting that that's all she's reduced to. A flirtation. I know that was really all they were in the last season, but we know Marisol's involved (likely minorly) in at least 2 episodes out of the first 5. Natalia on the other hand is for the most part understood to not be coming back (I would honestly be surprised given the actress is in NYC). But what's even more interesting is that Marisol is not mentioned anywhere else in either of these articles, meanwhile Oliver WAS asked about Natalia. So, I want people to keep in mind that in whatever way Marisol IS a part of this season, I SEVERELY doubt she's making it past the finale.

2. This answer about Natalia is your typical non-answer but to me, it's basically a confirmation she isn't coming back, which lends a tad bit more credibility to Tommy potentially stepping in as a LI for Buck (fingers crossed).

3. Buck is apparently called in to help talk to Christopher about dating women. Do I even really have to talk about how weird this sounds? Eddie had a whole WIFE? He dated Ana for many many months. He's currently dating hardware store flirtation Marisol right now. And yet, Ryan is claiming that Eddie feels like he doesn't know how to talk to his son about women? Enough so that he calls Buck to help? Talking to your kid about dating is a new avenue yes, but why are we acting like Eddie has never been with a woman before? Like I know last season in particular emphasized that Eddie isn't the best when it comes to dating but like ??? I swear to GOD y'all it's giving such severe compulsory heterosexuality. Eddie, my man, I hope this is indicative of where your story is going this season because it's been heading this way for many many many years. Separately, I also find the lack of mention of Shannon very interesting as well.

4. Which brings me to this part. The whole family dynamic aside...Buck's romantic relationships have been severely questionable at best the entire show. Before Abby, it's canon that all Buck did was sleep around a lot, which doesn't seem like something you wanna tell a young teen dating for the first time. So what's he gonna talk about? How women flee him? As I saw someone else say on the timeline "are the successful relationships in the room with us"? This is especially odd if the spec is true and he and Natalia broke up off-screen prior to the start of the season. Eddie, you just saw Buck have yet another failed relationship with woman #4 and your thought is that HE'S the one best suited to talk to your son? These two men are so queer and so dumb, but their hearts are in the right place.

Okay, moving on to EW article #2 linked here. Here I'm shifting a little bit more to Tim Minear, and what he's said before in the past as showrunner about Buck, Eddie, the buddifer dynamic and the buddie ship.

I have a love-hate relationship with Tim. On one hand, I think he's a far better showrunner than Kristen (for OG 911, 911 Lonestar does and always will suck ass). But on the other hand, I remember some of the things he said back when season 2 was airing. It's part of the reason why I can't take things like "he's so cute. he gets that a lot" or "does this boycrush on eddie mean you're over abby" or "you two have an adorable son" or any Big Buddie fanservice line in season 2 seriously or as any definitive proof of anything. Tim has openly admitted most of those were in season 2 to throw shippers a bone. Not to be taken seriously. And that didn't sit right with me. Very obviously, there was a shift in season 3 and no longer was buddie and shippers the butt of the joke. Season 3 is when I genuinely think the writers and Tim shifted from "haha this is funny" to "oh wait, maybe there IS something here" and obviously The Powers That Be (Fox) had some control over whether or not that happened and is honestly why I think it didn't happen in season 5 or 6 where it realistically could've fit very well after s4.

So firstly, please take everything I say with a grain of salt because Tim is a Known Liar and Word Twister and is very VERY good at saying a lot while absolutely saying nothing at all.

5. So...I find what he says in this article interesting because it's not in the first article. First, his word choice is very interesting. Using both "friendship" and "coupling" in the same sentence, which have two different connotations. Secondly, he says that "at their core" their relationship is about their friendship. When something is the core of something else, that doesn't mean that's all there is. The core may be the essence, or the foundation, or the glue of something. But it is something that is BUILT UPON, something that extends past the core. To me, it means that while the core of buddie's relationship is their friendship, their relationship encompasses much more than that. It's like those successful old married couples who say the key to being married happily for 50+ years is that "we're still best friends" or that "the key to a successful romantic relationship is having that foundation of strong friendship" etc. Now, I'm not SAYING this means canon buddie, but I just find it interesting that this is how Tim chose to describe them this time around. To me, that says Tim is very much aware that there's far more to be explored in their relationship than just their friendship. Whether that means far more buddifer family arcs, or an actual real exploration of Buck and Eddie as a romantic couple, I'm very excited to see where it goes.

thinking about buddie and physical touch as their relationship has progressed makes me feel dERANGED???? like i know we’ve talked about how the show legit couldn’t make those “boycrush on eddie” jokes now bc the weight behind them would be too much given everything but do you ever think about How Much they used to touch in s2 and 3????? like yes the Hugs, obviously, but also just the little touches????? eddie putting his hand on buck’s shoulder in 3x03 and the thumb™ on buck’s neck??? them holding hands in 2x18 and 3x15 after the truck bombing and the well collapse????? buck making the spiderman comment and jostling eddie’s shoulder after he saves the kid from the house in s2????? eddie putting his hand on buck’s shoulder when mitchell dies???? if literally ANY of those scenes happened now i think i’d have to be sedated?????????????? 

bc even though buck and eddie have gone through these life-altering, earth-shattering experiences together, even though their bond is so much more profound and so much deeper than it ever was back in the early days, they just???? don’t touch anymore???? and sure, that was utilised v deliberately in s5 and we saw them naturally gravitate back together again by 5b but eVEN THEN they didn’t actually touch save for their arms brushing in 5x14 like the good ol’ 2x04 days. eddie had a full on breakdown and sobbed in front of buck and we didn’t so much as get some hand on arm action. and it’s like???? is it because it would mean too much now???????? is it because there’s nothing casual about their relationship now?????? i’m truly just. people talk about wanting a kiss and yeah sure same ofc but also. all i can think is if one of them deliberately reaches for the other at any point in the next twelve episodes - even if it’s just a blink-and-you-miss-it two second touch - i genuinely will not survive

911 episode 14 (2×04) first watch notes:

Neeext episode!

Ahhh he brought Buck with him to the hospital. Cute

They're all so sweet caring for Christopher

Eddie hugging Bobby as a thank you 🥹

Oh the gushing about how great Eddie...

"So does this boycrush on Eddie mean that you're finally ready to move on from Abby?" - okay that was more 👀😏👀 than I thought from the gifs. Especially with him being canonically bi now.

Is he going to get stuck in the elevator?

...with this pregnant woman and she is going to have her baby...? Oh it's his ex-girlfriend. I didn't recognise her.

Her HUSBAND's???? wtf

Please stop saying the word rebar!!!

"send me one if you want" ... isn't it a bit weird to hang up a firefighter calendar with your ex in it?

Oh thank goodness he isn't going into the elevator

Can this really happen with an escalator? 😳

Yeah I think he's not gonna make it...

Yeeeeeeesssss, Carla!!!

[cowboy-robooty]

im a believer in the HRE = germany theory but also do not think it impacts gerita At All. like tbh they kinda dont care. italy tells people about holy rome but hes like yeah like it got weird at the end tho cuz we kissed and germanys like wtf werent u guys like 5 years old and italys like YEAH LIKE I DONT KNOW WHY I DID THAT OKAY ITS KINDA FUCKED UP. germany and italy both know the story and see it as like a fucked up childhood story you tell your friends like "when i was 7 i told my siblings that we had another sibling before i was born but theyre gone because i killed them" kinda shit. italys is "i had a boycrush when i was like 3 but then we kissed on the mouth when he went to fight in war and he Died." both germany and italy are like lol das crazy haha and then when they find out germany = HRE its like **VINEBOOM** 🗿🗿🗿🗿💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿💥💥💥🗿🗿 **looks at eachother** 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿 and germany wishes he was dead while italy goes well uhmm!!! at least it means youre my-a first kiss amiright! you were rizzing it up at 2 years old!!!! and that does Not Make Him Feel Better

Maddie: Does your boycrush on Eddie mean you’re ready to move on from Abby?

[mikerztmf]

my stupid, messy, and long-winded thoughts on jake having a crush on drew

to get it out of the way LOL: CANONICALLY, jake doesn't have a crush on drew. obviously. BUT this is just me taking how jake acts and trying to answer the question "but what if he did haha" bc im delusional like that. that's also why this essay is a lot more casual than my other ones (not much shorter tho, SORRY ABT THAT). probably won't talk abt canon events as much (other than the drakeup), but still lmao

ME, PERSONALLY, i think that jake would develop a crush on drew probably around freshman year-ish. bc, as ive said before, drew was the first person to want to be jake's friend. im sure it meant a lot to jake, especially bc we can assume that it was drew who talked to/approached jake first!!

(and lol, if jake started crushing on daisy bc she was the first person encourage him in middle school, itd only be natural for him to develop a crush on drew after he defended him from bullies, bought him things, and in general was his first close friend???? jk LMAO, but the point still stands)

i think the way jake would go about his feelings... he simply wouldn't do anything about them... besides hide them away and act like they were never there. but then again, that shit wouldn't work out, bc those feelings are so engrained in him.

bc jake really cares about what drew thinks, which is why he kept quiet about his past and his passion. and the crush would definitely be a part of that. like it's smth jake would view as "bad", and he would think that it's just an additional reason for drew to drop him. that's why, i think, he'd never purposely act on his feelings or anything. maybe the occasional gay thing will slip out of his mouth when drew's not around to hear it, but nothing actually intentional?

anyway. sing along if you know the words!!! JAKE LIED TO DREW IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP HIM!!! 🎉🎉

jake hid his passion for music and his crush from drew so they would be able to stay friends. bc, to him, it was the only way that drew would ever "like him back", even if it wasn't romantically. (he's wrong ofc, bc drew has a massive boycrush on him. but jake doesn't know that)

basically, all of that basically means that the one thing jake didn't want is for drew to call him a freak/for drew to leave. it just sucks i guess, bc everything jake did to make that not happen... became the exact reasons why it did happen.

and if we're gonna talk abt canon some more... i think this crush would add to jakes internal conflict throughout the series. like yeah. jakes got the club and he can be his full self with them, but since drew is his first friend (who he developed feelings for!!!), he finds it hard to let him go. which is why he sort of tries to defend/excuse the jomies, up until ep7 ("they're still my friends ... they're not like that all the time.")

TL;DR??? imagine my last jake-centric essay but 5x worse 👍 sorry this is so scatterbrained LMAO i just. have a lot of thoughts abt jake-centric drake, if u couldn't tell

[joshnekuu]

Hey so every so often i reread your joshneku dynamic post so:

"Don't you want to be the Conductor?"

It isn't the first time he's been asked this. Joshua is a bit insistent on it. Neku really thinks Josh should just get a different Conductor, he's made his point clear.

Neku thinks that perhaps it's because Josh doesn't understand why he doesn't want to be Conductor? He decides to try explaining it.

"Joshua. I've said no, and I'm never going to stop saying no."

"Why not?"

A genuine question. Prompted by carefully selected differences in language.

"Because I don't want to live forever. I don't want to leave my life behind after finding out how much it's worth living."

Neku takes the opportunity to grab Joshua's arm. He hasn't heard everything.

"But that doesn't mean I don't want you in my life. Think of it this way; I don't want to live eternally young with you. I want to grow old and die with you. Does that make sense, Josh?"

Josh doesn't respond, merely using his energy to teleport away without taking Neku with him. Neku hopes Josh understands properly.

Somewhere in the Dead God's Pad, Josh lies on his stomach on a couch, hugging a pillow and kicking his feet. The pillow's red cover helps hide the fact his face is the exact same shade.

Boycrush josh boycrush josh

GAAAAAAAAH THIS IS SO CUTE 🥺🥺🥺 not knowing how to deal with the fact that Neku not only wants him in his life but like. Wants him there long term. Waaaaaah…….

[mrstellmeafuckingsecret]

who should be shipped with young tom riddle

A. Walburga

B. Orion

C. Hagrid

or D. Alphard

🤔

i've actually never seen tom x hagrid before, but it gives me the ick. the expelling incident was too icky, and as much as i love an unhealthy relationship (which is bound to take place w tommy) i just ? don't ship hagrid with anyonejkjda

i know it's like . very teenagerish that i dont ship the guy who's not very romanticizable but like dkhafhka umm. hagrid isn't very intelligent and prone to be tricked easily, and that just kind of isn't my favourite flavour of unhealthy relationships.

walburga and tom is personally hilarious to me bc walburga is a very bipolar batshit fucking insane bitch (canon) with a need to mother everyone (i have reasons for saying this!) (in her own, toxic, possessive, way) and tom has mommy issues. i don't think they ever had anything go on between them, but i think tom wouldve liked walburga. he def approached her for recruitment idc what anyone says (unless . like . canon evidence.)

kinda bellamort vibes. kinda.

orion. is straight. but like. no one is 100% straight yk. if orion had one (1) boycrush, it would be tom. orion is litr a coward (he's barely mentioned in the books which i read as him being walburga's cocksleave who says yesmaam to whatever she says & not doing shit on his own). now, orion didn't have any apparent impact on sirius (he never mentions him) or the house (no (apparent) portrait, even though he's lord black) which i read as him just blending into the background. i mean, as much as a black can blend in, anyway. yeah so whatever right,,, he was also younger than tom so i don't think tom had any interest in him. there's more interesting people in the world, the only thing orion would've had that mightve caught tom's fancy would be him being heir black (tomxsiriuspropagandainsert). but like,,, yeah.

now alphard <333333

um. so. i headcanon alphard being like two years younger than walburga, and wally is two years above tom soo. stars align. (funny black family joke.) sirius alphard black and his horrible taste in men is delicious & i love it. he pulls the dark lord by being non-threatening enough that he's not intimidating tom, but hard enough to rival him (at least for a while).

a teaches t about all the magic in the fucking world, and t is drawn to a's charm&looks&intelligence&magic. same w alphard.

it would be so toxic too bc tom would be impersonal as shit and never tell alphard anything right,, he'd cheat repeatedly, he'd make up rumours and lies, he'd make horcruxes, he'd visit a country, he'd plan world domination and when alphard asks about it he's reminded that tom and alphard dont mean anything to each other, theyre simply fucking because theyre teenage boys !!!!!!

uhm. idk how yap more.

tom would remove alphard's memory of their friendship (it was never very public, they both avoided each other anytime but nights) once he became voldemort (homophobia :3) and alphard will always wonder why his dick stands up at the thought of the dark lord 🙏🏼🙏🏼

uh but yeah they broke up in sixth year when alphard found out tom was the one who killed myrtle (erased memory!). alphard has a heart and it is fragile unfortunately.

uhh but i do hc tom did love alphard. ik it's implied that he cant feel love (bc of the love potion?) buuut idk ? i feel like if coming from a love potion would literally turn you into.... wahtever that was.... it'd be a crime yk. he's just a very fucked up kid. psychopathic. he just turns into a proper monster as he starts making horcruxes. he loved & trusted alphard and he told him stuff about himself (a reason why he removed his memories!) like myrtle. bro was NOT good w words. (canon).

yerp.

<3

About Kirby Doolittle and Avery Bancroft:

Will contain spoilers for the 2024-25 AMTA case. And also a gender for Kirby.

Why did Kirby Doolittle buy two tickets for the train? One as himself and one as Casey? And why does he only check into one?

These three questions have haunted me for a while. But! I believe I have found a plausible story. (it is not plausible. this case is making me mentally ill).

Kirby Doolittle (aged 25) was working at the annual charity gala as a security guard. Then he sees his uncle's old boss. He overhears the boss is looking for a new assistand and smoothly insets himself into the conversation and sinches the job for himself.

Avery Bancroft (beekeeping age) needs a new secritary. Then a young guy who looks great in uniform (Avery is straight probably... he just likes having attractive secretaries) approaches him awkwardly about being his new secretary. Avery accepts.

Blah blah blah, he gets ill, blah blah blah, kirby gets a crush on his hot new emotionally unavailable boss, blah blah blah, they travel the world together and there's definitely tension.

Then:

Kirby Doolittle books two tickets for the Midlands Rivera Express, one for his boss Avery Bancroft in the fancy room, and one under his legal name Casey French in the shitty room. (transgender? i have thoughts).

But then Bancroft gets mistaken and thinks the train is full and is very much like "Oh no, Kirby! I guess I have to sleep in the same luxurious bed with my assistant!" And so obviously boycrushing, Kirby buys a second ticket for himself in Avery's room.

But then of course they get on the train and Avery examines if it makes him gay to appreciate personal assistants physically, regardless of gender. I mean he did it once with Kirbys uncle, but that was in the early 90's and doesn't count. He decides it would make him gay and so he tells Kirby that he has to find his own sleeping arrangements.

And that is my headcannon about Kirby and Avery Doolittle and the Casey French Debacle.

"so does this boycrush on eddie mean you're finally ready to move on from abby" it must be so hard being the sister of a bisexual man who has no idea he's bisexual even when you tell him straight to his face what he has going on.

[wovenstarlight]

In HYJ and Sigma's conversation (prior so Sigma going back to being a creep), it's really funny that it at least seems that Sigma's pretty hung up on:

1. Whoever the fuck this Sung Hyunjae guy is, along with how him not being that guy is vaguely disappointing and means these SS-rank Guards want to beat the shit out of him (see: Alpha fight 1, Alpha fight 2 electric boogaloo, getting hit by a fucking nuke)

2. How HYJ called him old

3. How HYJ is apparently older than him

He sounds so much like a pouty teenager when HYJ is teasing him it's insane

FRRRRR while i try not to put myself in sigma's shoes too much (They Wouldnt Fit, for one) i can see where he's coming from with the pissy teenager act honestly. like imagine the MOST INTERESTING GUY IN YOUR WHOOOOLE WORLDDDD shows up and he's all cool and intriguing and you're like holy fucking shit finally something to think about that doesn't make me want to put my head through a wall. and then he's like. oh. ugh. you're not [SOME FUCKING GUY YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF]. and he gives you the most disappointed disgusted look even though you've done (From Your Perspective) literally nothing. like i would also immediately form a lifelong vendetta against This Fucking Guy I've Never Heard Of for taking my one thin thread holding together my will to live from me. fuck that guy forever. and then this guy who has in the last few days become your sole reason to keep going besides inertia and routine. this guy. your white whale. he fucking starts ragging on you about being old and you're not even old. then he starts ragging on you about being too young and also hitting you with the NO BITCHES? like come on. for real? for fucking real? i'm getting no bitches'd by my boycrush?

sigma deserved the nuke though

[theladyyavilee]

im not really on 9-1-1 tumblr much, but i needed to share with someone since i've been rewatching to catch myself back up. in 2x18, the scene with the beauty/fashion blogger, the live comments while eddie and buck are on the screen?????

"omg those two are so cute together"

And

"they should totally be a couple"

like.... hello?????

i missed so much of it my first time watching!!! so clear my second time through!

(is this something already talked about? im so late to everything)

aaah enjoy the catching up anon, I love how much new there is still to discover on a rewatch of the beloved weewoos <3

and yes indeed, that is something the fandom has talked about before and a cute little touch! I think it is just not discussed that much because to me (and a lot of other fans I think) it just carries a lot less weight than many other (later) moments? most of the season 2 moments feel a little more like a wink wink little teasing joke in the direction of buddie fans than any serious hinting and it has been discussed multiple times how to most of us it felt like there was a certain shift in how they approached that relationship with the beginning of season 3

most of the season 2 moments are more a wink towards how the fans perceive buddie by having people in the show's universe perceiving buddie that same way (the insta comments, the christmas elf, even maddie's 'your little boycrush on eddie' are all outside perspectives) and always playing it in a slightly (not mean spirited, but also not serious) jokey kinda way, whereas starting with season 3 that cheeky wink kinda feeling completely stopped, and instead we started getting these very emotional scenes that explored their relationship and how deeply connected they are and how important to each other (eddie bringing chris to buck to cheer both of them up, the conversation after the tsunami, the apology after the lawsuit, the kitchen scene after eddie's fighting arc) and I'll be honest, the season 2 moments just don't measure up to that for me 🙈

so yeah all this to explain why even tho the moment was definitely noticed (and is indeed cute), it isn't really brought up/discussed much in fandom!

[briqkpile]

brat: "GOD DAMN IT, I COULD KILL HIM!"

berserk: "Ugh, calm down, just because your little boycrush is flirting with you doesn't mean you have to talk about it to us you know?"

brat: "He's not my boycrush because he's INSUFFERABLE!! Why can't he be more like Bubbles?"

brute: "Bubbles is a weak loser, why would you want him to be like her?"

brat: "Because she's a woman!"
