Sometimes I just start thinking about this moment - paired with Maddie's "I just think that maybe you're not sure of your own feelings yet. And if there's something that you need to tell Eddie, you will. Just, in your own time" - and then don't stop thinking about it.

Maybe I'm just reading into it but the way this moment moves. Eddie steps forward, Tommy steps up to exactly where Eddie was, Buck turns to look where Eddie was, doesn't find what he was looking for but still finds something good. It's not just ep 4 and 5 where the focus on Eddie blows me away, it's also this.

#i also have a lot of feelings about how interesting tommy is as a choice for this entire storyline #during both chim and hen begins he stand-in for the old guard and the barrier they both face #during bobby begins again he's a united front with chim and hen in a desire for actual change #and sal's firing is a sign of tommy's change too - sal refused to change and couldn't stay. tommy stayed until he left himself #and he needed to leave - needed something new - to finally accept himself and his sexuality #tommy's return to me - especially with the shift to the new network and everything surrounding that -#has always felt to me like an acknowledgement that things can change #the change in him from the old guard to an entirely different person always felt so significant to me #and this feels really significant too #that buck and his search for happiness throughout the last season has only one constant - the 118 #tommy can offer a change to buck without affecting that stability #the way tommy talks about himself on the date feels like an acknowledgement of all of that #and this moment and maddie's intervention feel like an acknowledgement of something else entirely #and i may be a buddie girl but i'm thoroughly enjoying this ride (hopefully buck is too)#because i'm doing what maddie did - 'you'll tell eddie what you need to in your own time. tell me about the hot pilot'#because he wasn't unhappy to see hot pilot there instead. hot pilot good.#anyway look at this shot and tell me you don't see what i'm seeing #there was a lot of visual storytelling throughout this season i love it so much #911 #911 abc #911 fox #9-1-1 #911 meta #evan buckley #eddie diaz #tommy kinard #another fandom same old tag rambles
