Owen's Journey

One of my favorite things about this show is that they show how healing is not a linear journey, and I especially love how this is applied to Owen's story.

When we first meet him and TK they have a pretty strong relationship. He's attentive with TK's love life, noticing how Alex might not be right for him but also supporting his happiness and wanting to make it to the wedding. Realizing something was wrong when he didn’t show up to work, saving his life, taking charge of the situation and doing everything he can think of to aid in TK's revovery, including getting him out of New York. All of this is important considering how we know their relationship used to be much more distant when TK was younger, and how they've done a lot of growing already before we meet them in the pilot.

In season 1, things take a slight downturn for Owen. His life has just been turned upside down with a potentially life threatening cancer diagnosis, and he's also dealing with the trauma of TK nearly dying in his arms. We see him start to fall into old habits to cope with it all. Hiding his diagnosis from TK to protect himself, and also to focus on TK and the 126, struggling with anger and falling into reckless behaviors. All of this is a result of that loss of control that Owen is feeling in his life. He feels helpless, he feels scared, and he's doing everything he can to shove those feelings down.

Throughout the show we see him improve little by little, but it's a slow process. Between nearly losing TK (again) multiple times, losing Gwyn, losing the 126, etc, he's knocked back down again and again. We often see him get worse before he gets better.

Some of the most pivitol moments come when he learns to stop letting his past haunt him. He makes a lot of progress with his anger when he comes to terms with his brother's death not being his fault and receives closure from his father for what happened in that aftermath. He finally lets go of the ultimate symbol of his trauma (the piece of the south tower) when he learns how to focus on what he still has, rather than what he lost.

In his dream, Gwyn tells him that he needs to move forward. And that's exactly what he does.

Owen has also made a considerable effort in maintaining a strong relationship with TK. We see it when he calls him in 3x16, knowing that he doesn't want his love for TK to ever be a question in the way that his own father's love was. He goes all in on TK's wedding planning and then pulls back when he realizes he's been smothering him, apologizing, and being honest about his motivations. He's upfront with TK about the Huntington's. He's there for him and Carlos when Gabriel is killed.

Owen is in a better place than he was in season 1, and his and TK's relationship is stronger than ever. He got kocked down by recent traumas, and in the process he faced some of his old traumas as well. He's not as haunted by his demons as he once was, and he's a happier and healthier person because of it.

The most healing moment for Owen in the entire show is when he finally gets to watch TK get married. All of that fear he had in season 1, all of the things he and TK went through between then and now, all of the times he was afraid he might lose his son, it all lead to this moment where Owen no longer has to feel that uncertainty. He knows TK is going to be okay.

Owen's story isn't over. He still struggles with loneliness, insecurity within his relationships, and is still reckless at times, but this goes to show how we're never done growing. He still has healing to do and lessons to learn, and this is a journey that he'll be on for the rest of his life.

I know many people like to clown on Owen, and that's not a bad thing. We can always benefit from finding the humor in these things because at the end of the day we're celebrating the message that it's okay to fall down. We can find comfort in those moments where we mistep. All of this is possible when we surround ourselves with love and understand the importance of having a support system, instead of just trying to get through life alone.

This is exactly what Owen has done, and what every other character on the show has done as well.

9-1-1 as The Onion Headlines (Part 3) (Part 1) (Part 2)

[shares-a-vest]

I'm watching 'Eddie Begins' and the amount of times I've said, "oh my god".

Guys (gn) I'm worried. I'm stressed. I'm saaaaad 😭😭😭 MY GUYYY!!!

[prettyboykatsuki]

rinsagi provides such a deliciously toxic dynamic and bachisagi provides such a high energy sexy dynamic but a FOURSOME with them would be so.

rinsagi in competition with each other + bachira who bullies you the most out of anyone in this dynamic + rin who's forced to play good cop because when bachira and isagi are together isagi is ONLY capable of being fake nice and rin feels bad for you because man do you get so wet and so desperate so fast

[july-19th-club]

the thing about 9-1-1 as opposed to its cop and fireman counterparts is that it's kind of the heartstopper of rescue procedurals in that the characters are all decent, kind people who mostly do decent, kind things, and when they don't they seek out the wronged party to apologize to them, and all their problems are solved by heartfelt conversations and family dinners, in a way that is by no means even remotely true to life, so much so that sometimes you're insulted by it, like, athena would not be able to change the system from within! quit your job!! but athena lives in fake nice world so when she has a fight with her daughter about this it's about their generational clash and not the violence inherent in the system. kind of like when bridgerton deleted racism in the queen charlotte spinoff. anyway. the main reason i keep coming back and watching it and could not get through more than two episodes of heartstopper is because it has something heartstopper does not, and that's disasters, wounds, and injuries. i mean every time you turn around some relatively but not outrageously handsome man is losing his weight in blood and everyone is crowding around his sickbed to hold him about it. and that's television
