He is SAYING HI, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

During this scene I was like babe put your hand down😩 HE HAS ALREADY SEEN YOU.

[is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer]

We already know you're a great dad.

Honestly I think it's even funnier to consider that neither of them have computers old enough to still have SD card ports, and they're just hoping that Karen's old-ass computer will still work.

choosing to ignore most of that episode but it’s objectively hysterical that buck and athena steal the SD card and go to the smartest person they know bc she must have whatever super high tech is needed to look at the pictures and then karen just. plugs the card into her laptop

I have been sobbing for the last ten minutes. Read at your own discretion.

I'll be along when I finish my song

This is Bobby Nash. I can’t come to the phone right now, leave a message after the beep.

Buck gasped at his voice, even though he dialed the number to hear it. “Hi, Bobby. I made your chilli for the wake. Everyone loved it. Jee even asked for seconds,” he laughed.

He paused for a minute. “They cleaned you up real good, Cap. No blood. Black suit though, not the blue one. Your mom brought it, said it was your dads.” Buck pressed his eyes shut. “I was strong for everyone, Bobby. I did good. I didn’t cry,” his voice broke, “I- I don’t know what to say. I- I miss you.”

Grief is easier when shared, and Buck relies on his support system

No matter where you fall in the Buddie/Bucktommy spectrum, I think after today's episode we can all agree on the fact that it is the LEAST of our troubles right now.

[is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer]

I think sometimes people forget buck was a child neglected by his parents. A child who thought hurting himself for attention was better than being ignored. There is no universe in which buck looks at eddie's decision and does anything but respect it. He's sad as hell for sure and he's spiraling because eddie is his tether to rationality a lot of the time, but he doesn't think eddie is doing him some disservice. To be honest, I imagine he respects it more because nothing is wrong with chris... he's not hurt or anything like that... and eddie still wants to go through this huge upheaval of his life. He is willing to sacrifice anything for his son. Buck thinks Eddie is the best dad, and he vocalizes this often. Buck watched Eddie's hands twitch as he told him he was thinking about moving. He saw the fear in eddie's face, the indecision, and Buck chose to jump into the mess with him. So yeah he's sad. But Buck doesn't think Eddie is the villain. And the fandom shouldn't project that on Buck's behalf either.

i actually think it was really interesting the way that almost every character was trapped in a place of helplessness most torturous to them. like yes buck is in his worst nightmare, being trapped outside with no way in to save his family. but athena is limited to helplessness by protocol that’s above her head, something she always chafes against but this time can’t meaningfully get around. chimney is stuck on the other side of the glass unable to save his best friend. hen is stuck as the patient. maddie is stuck on the other side of the phone and forced to listen as her husband gets worse and worse. and eddie? god, eddie is trapped in texas, trying to choose his family, and he probably doesn’t even know that his real family is in mortal peril right now.

crucially the only two who aren’t restricted like this are bobby (which is likely to come up later) and ravi. and that’s what makes it such a good ravisode, because ravi is still the outsider to this little family. but he’s given that choice: save them or follow orders. and he makes the choice. because that’s what he’s learned from them, that sometimes you put yourself in danger to save someone else.

and then it doesnt even work. which puts him right into the same trapped, helpless boat as everybody else.

Buck calling out to his team.

[is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer]

“118 sound off” just shoot me. why don’t you just shoot me

[is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer]

Oliver is acting his ASS out in this episode, he's doing so good!!!

S8 Ep14 - BUCK LOSING HIS TEAM

[is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer]

imma take a whole second to talk about the scene of buck calling out to his team bc. fuck. the raw but contained desperation. the clear sign of years passed and lessons learned and the forced calmness he knows he needs. the way he knows he’s talking to his sister but says “dispatch” anyway before breaking protocol. to think. and then act. he’s aware their lives depend on it. buck’s grown into a whole man, a whole teammate, and a whole firefighter, and i am in awe.

[is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer]

Maddie survived her throat being slit and Chimney survived a rebar through his head and Eddie survived being shot and both Buck and Bobby survived actually dying for a few minutes it's gonna be FINE

[is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer]

He just needs a good reason.

Isn't that illegal? 9-1-1, S08E11 vrs S08E14
