let's talk about chrisbuck reunion. can we talk about chrisbuck reunion please? I've been dying to talk about chrisbuck reunion
buck in 2x01
imagining a world where eddie's sisters come to visit after he is back in LA. since eddie and chris are living with buck now, buck is getting nervous and offers to spend the week at maddie and chim's place so he is out of the way. eddie tells him No and shuts down the argument immediately. buck is spiraling because he needs adriana and sophia to like him, so he reverts to what he knows best.... eddie :). after his 5th story bragging about how great eddie is, adriana is like wait... we are still talking about our brother eddie, right? and buck sighs dreamily like, yeah, he's the best person i know. do you like poker? he is really good at it. and basketball! and muy thai.... and adriana and sophia are nodding in disbelief because all they know is loser eddie, and yet buck is acting like eddie personally hung each star in the sky by himself. they bring it up to eddie later like, dude, buck is OBSESSED with you. eddie just laughs. we are just Best Friends :). that's what Best Friends do. so sophia and adriana just nod slowly as they give each other Looks because their brother is literally the stupidest person on the planet.
i have talked about this before. but it is legitimately fucking insane to me that a guy gets shot. and because the guy is a single dad, his best friend steps up to take care of his kid and keep him on his schedule while his dad's in the hospital recovering, stays at his house and sleeps on the couch and takes the kid to school etc etc. normal! cool, normal, extremely generous, lovely best friend behavior. but then when the guy wakes up, the best friend says: i should have held it together better, i was really struggling and i broke down in front of your son, and i just think it would have been better for him if i had been the one to get shot. which – this is an objectively true statement. for anyone normal, yes; that is a gut punch of a sentiment, and it is heartbreaking to hear buck say it out loud, but it is objectively true for anyone normal that it would be better for a child if his dad's best friend got shot vs his only living parent getting shot. you know? like that is not an insane thing to say, even in the context of all of everything between them. but then the dad – AND THE NARRATIVE OF THE SHOW – says no actually, you're wrong. it wouldn't have been better. it would have been the same; it would have had the same effect on my son if you had been the one to get shot. you matter to me, and you matter to him, and you are an important enough part of both of our lives that i have you written into my living will. i have an advance directive that says, in the case of my death, i want you to gain custody of my son. you, my best friend, and not my own parents or my aunt or my grandmother or either of my sisters. you. and you stepping up like this proved that i was right. and I cannot stress enough how insane it is that not only do the characters believe this, but the ACTUAL NARRATIVE OF THE SHOW agrees with them and backs them up and says: this is the reality of the situation. like!!!!
i have no idea if they plan to keep bobby dead or if they will bring him back but i know this. eddie will not be going back to el paso after the funeral. sure he’ll go back to sell the house of smth but he’s going to move back. not because of buddie (though that will be a huge win) but because eddie doesnt want to miss anything else. eddie created a life and a family for himself in la. his son spent half his life there and his second dad is there too. eddie will not move back to el paso because bobby dying will remind him of that life he built and him not being there for bobby’s death will remind him that he doesnt want to miss his family anymore
KILLING myself jesus (bobby) christ
The 118 - Leave the horror here (8x15)
Bobby knew the whole time he was infected and took care of literally everyone and didn't say anything until everyone was safely out, I need this man to COME BACK so I can KILL HIM AGAIN you goddamn fucking CAPTAIN
Coping HARD rn
“You’re not God” no but he is Jesus. See him rise next episode im so serious
EDDIE & BOBBY → 5.18 'Starting Over'
Omg following all this without watching must be HILARIOUS. But if you’re looking for a website to watch this season on as it releases (or only slightly later lol) hmu, I can also only legally access the first 7 seasons in my country sadly. And if not, have fun watching us loose our minds😂😂
As a 9-1-1 fan who's only watched up to season 7 following this season on tumblr is so fucking funny.
Like this started because I'm british and now I am willingly not catching up because hearing the most random pieces of information and going "they did WHAT" is so much funnier.
Like ABC have you actually lost your minds? This is incredible.
STOP WHAT IS THIS PICTURE. WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE.
eddie is so unbelievably real sometimes
saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him
“Who kisses who first” “who pursues who” “who realizes first” you’re all wrong. Who is the first one to call Christopher “our son”
so much more interesting for his character. to ME. to have had eddie in texas for this arc. cause I genuinely do believe there's such a thing as too many character NDEs at once (like while I loved the bridge collapse none of the NDEs meant much to me cause there was just too much to focus on and not enough time to give it the proper emotional punch. eddie's ribs got crushed. did I give a shit. did it do anything for his character. no) but this absence is Everything for his character. because eddies been so focused on losing christopher and getting him back that he's almost convinced himself he can be fine in Texas. and maybe when it was a competition between Chris and Everyone/Anyone else that could be true but he has chris back in his corner now and he has to choose between continuing this lie to himself that he and chris can be happy in texas or he has to come face to face with the fact that this life he built in los angeles could never be a transient moment in his life. not only has he been immeasurably changed by these people he met at the 118 but he is still and forever bound to them and that's Not Nothing. we saw him acknowledge it but at that point he didn't think he had a choice. now he does and he will be confronted with that in the most devastating way and the impact of his absence will be so much more defining and monumental for him than being just another trapped 118 member
buck running straight to athena like 🏃MOM!!! 🏃
imagine, for a moment, that you're watching a new tv show.
its a procedural, but the emergencies are insane and it takes you four episodes of the wildest emergencies humankind could possibly get into before you realise that american firefighters are just general first responders, and that's why there haven't been any fires yet. there have been a lot of pipes, tho, and a lot of animals in places they shouldn't be. the cast is pretty funny - lots of queer poc rep, fleshed out characters with ideosyncracies like fucking people on top of fire engines and simultaneously being the most pedantic person on the planet when given a clipboard and the character development is consistent across 8 seasons and it only makes you love them more and every character has plot armour to make the winchesters jealous, and silly nicknames which are only occasionally explained. major arcs include recovering from alcoholism, trying to not have phone sex with your girlfriend, breaking out of abusive relationships and starting your life anew, learning to not propose to people who don't love you for you, falling in love, and out of it, and then doing that again and again about seven more times, taking down serial killers and escaped prisoners and serial rapists and natural disasters and abusive exes, redefining yourself again, and again, and again, breaking relationships and fixing those, too, because some things are more important than one mistake, building families that don't look conventional but are filled with love and trust and so many shenanigans, like taking down an illegal surgeon after spying on him through your window and going through his trash because youre bored during lockdown, recovering from trauma, experiencing trauma, so much trauma, i seriously was not lying about the plot armour, and also twice a season LA experiences the apocolyse and they have to try not die again.... one character is introduced to 'whatta man' and we all have to pretend thats not gay for 8 seasons, until it seems like finally theyre acknowledging how it IS gay only we don't know yet because its still being released on abc weekly and maybe you watched the whole thing twice over in six months and now you're desperately reading and writing fic online to deal and the actors are shit talking every interview and theres massive fandom angst about objectively one of the most blank paper characters of all time and ur going thru entire writers' profiles on ao3 and reading AUs for the first time even tho somehow the show itself is basically fanfiction at this point and youre wathcing the actual cast play out scenes you've read a hundred times on ur screen while you scream and cry on the floor of your living room
imagine, for a moment, that you're watching 9-1-1 on abc
@m0onberry222 does this convince you
The way Buck's coma dream foreshadowed his life with Eddie
No matter how many times i watch 7x04 im still shaking crying throwing up like WHAT DO YOU MEAN.
WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
Hockey AU!! The new guy is irritatingly perfect, and Buck seems to be the only one who minds it. Which just makes everything WORSE. Why is no one else bothered by his stupid perfect face and his stupid perfect shots and his stupid perfect everything?
Inspired by all the Hockey AUs I've been reading recently. Good shit lemme tell ya!!!
s08e11 parallels: maddie & jee x eddie & christopher
This is what happens when I read too many girldad!Buck fics. And this isn't even all.
No because I think this is the exact reason I fell in love with 9-1-1 so much. Season one, Bathena got together, and I was so dissapointed, because if you've watched more than two tv shows in your life, you know what happenes to couples who get together in the first season. They get used for drama, they are thrust into repeating storylines, they either aren't endgame, or they break up and make up all the time, over and over, and are horrible to each other bur still stay together. (Cough cough Ross and Rachel from Friends.) It kills the characters instantly, and it kills their storylines. I was so mad.
But then I kept watching, bc it's not like this was a new feeling - this happens all the time. Disappointing, but whatever. So I kept waiting for the inevitable fallout and breakup and unnecessary drama between Bathena, and it just... didn't happen. They just... moved foreward in their relationship, and the showrunners made them interesting as fuck - without breaking them up unnecessarily!! Fucking bonkers to me, especially how Henren started out in season one. But Bathena had fights, and drama, and happy moments, and they defied what I thought a season-one-couple was.
And then it just kept on going. Bathena, Madney, Henren - they all found their special person and they didn't have to give that up to remain interesting or original. I've never seen anything like it before. It was magical. Still is.
I think that's why I'm not terrified that they are going to fuck up Buddie. If any other show decided to get the two popular and constantly shipped male leads together, I KNOW they couldn't do them justice, especially in the long run. But 911 can. Because they've already done it. Multiple times. And that just makes me so freaking happy.
domestic buddie being imminent is also fun bc this show does a good job at keeping a relationship dynamic interesting after getting characters together. henren is established from day one and while karen isn’t around as much as the mains their presence/drama is still there. bathena got more interesting once they started blending their family. madney went thru sooo much up and down and now they’re happily married and maddie’s still getting serial killer kidnapped and saving chim’s life w hammers. domestic buddie are gonna keep having insane things happen bc that’s the show but now they will get to react to it as romantic partners and (eventual) husbands. :)
