my angst spec for episode sixteen is buck and eddie going home together after the funeral because eddie's borrowing the couch and he's watching buck with those careful worried attentive eyes and he takes them into the kitchen and soso gently says. you didn't eat anything at the service can i make you something? and buck sniffs and says he's not hungry and eddie sighs and looks like 45% more heartbroken and goes. buck you have to eat something please. and buck shakes his head and eddie goes over to him and ducks to catch his eyes and says. hey please what can i do? what do you need? and buck kisses him. and it's desperate and biting and the most self destructive thing he could possibly do in that moment but he needs to feel something anything other than the grief. and eddie would give him anything in that moment so they kiss. and then buck tears himself away wide eyed and eddie takes a minute to come back to himself and then they're just staring at each other until they both open their mouths at the exact same time but buck's phone rings before they can speak. it's maddie. bobby's alive.

we talk a lot about the way eddie looks at buck when he says "you really did that for me?" which well. Yeah, insane. but also GODDDDD. the way buck swallows. the way he looks at eddie before he says "it's me." jesus CHRIST. like...... hello.....

you guys need to be making out sloppy style asap. it's so dire. get a GRIP both of you

so funny when people try to argue whether eddie or buck are older. the answer is yes and no and neither and both at any given moment. they’re the same age but also sometimes buck is older and other times eddie is older. they take turns. don’t worry about it

i’m sorry but this whole ‘this or that’ mentality is so goddamn strange, especially when it comes to en ensemble tv show like 911. i CAN have both, that’s how it works. and the way some of you immediately assume ‘i wish eddie was there’ also means ‘i wish ravi wasn’t there’ speaks more to your character than mine because personally i’m big brained enough to be able to pay attention to both of them at the same time cheers

Okay, the thing that annoys me with Eddie's arc specifically, and if this makes me a toxic Eddie Stan so be it, is that even tho the show wants us to forget this, we're in this predicament because of the vertigo thing. Tim went on record about how he knew didn't have the time to execute it but did it anyway. They had to send Ryan in multiple interviews to try and make that make sense. And they committed. They send Chris to Texas. No significant movement happened on that front for all of 8a. And don't tell me Eddie needed to work on himself because the only reason he needed to work on himself is because they decided to throw a grenade on him in the shape of his dead wife, season 5 Eddie did the being more open with Chris, he did the therapy, he did the working on his relationship with his dad. He was in a good place. Then he wasn't. For no fucking reason. They didn't deal with the actual problem they created with Tim's desire to bring Devin back. Because they said just kidding, that part does not matter, this is about family when he didn't have those problems with Chris. Sure, his parents were always gonna try to steal Chris, but fucking hell they didn't have to make it happen like this. And then they made everything surrounding actually leaving on Buck's pov. Which is great for the buddie of it all. Not that great for the Eddie of it all because since we are seeing the situation through Buck's eyes, we don't really know how Eddie felt about the situation. But sure. We got to Texas. Of course he's in the torment nexus. Of course he can't be a firefighter. Of course his parents are demons. But we solved that. And Chris is home now. The thing that he was supposed to do was done. But the move is only framed as permanent for Buck's benefit. Eddie could've rented a house. But sure, Eddie now has a stupid Prius and a house in Texas and the family he chose and was forced to leave is all dying. And all dying in a situation where Eddie is the perfect piece to help. BUT HE'S NOT FUCKING THERE. Because his storyline has been playing out for a year and this is so fucking stupid. Do something with Eddie that's not exactly what you did to him in s5. Because if nothing different happens then what was the fucking point of letting everyone believe that Chris walked in on him fucking Kim doggystyle on the couch when they cut the fucking kiss.

The rest of B-Shift hearing about Ravi committing domestic terrorism for the sake of Chimney even after Bobby offered to take the fall and just thinking, “Oh God, they finally got him. They roped Ravi into their sick little co-dependent work family. We’re never getting him back.”

my glasses are always dirty but it's fine. i've seen enough.

[meganlynn05]

Hmm, I've been staying in my bubble but I'm seeing some discourse hints on my dash.

I don't think any of us who felt Eddie's absence last night need to apologize or accept it tbh

How many of you would accept Buck, Bobby, Hen or Chimney missing out on this two-parter? I wouldn't have, and Eddie is no different to me.

It IS ridiculous that Eddie is still stuck dealing with his season 7 storyline, and that it's being used as an excuse to be excluded from a big 118 event, it just doesn't feel fair, imo.

i might not make sense rn but as much as i wish eddie was in the episode part of me feels like him not being there was kind of the point. since he wasn’t there to help them (in. well. an emergency that feels so specifically perfect to him) i think it ultimately makes him decide to move back to LA. he needs to be back with the family he chose.
