*Gerrard existing*

Buck: I'm gonna fucking kill this guy.

Eddie: DON'T. He's not even worth it.

*Gerrard gerrards in his general direction*

it's 1:30 am and after a month of peacefully enduring Interesting Times, trying to set up a new laptop is turning me into the joker.

every day i am spending money and having problems.

we are not talking enough about abby and tommy

i feel like we need to talk about the implications of their relationship.

abby and buck met a couple months into his probationary year and a couple months after tommy and her broke up. we know tommy didn't come out until he was at harbor station.

meaning they dated while tommy was at the 118, meaning abby knew knew that buck was working at her ex's firehouse from the beginning. she knew from their first call together and it definitely makes it feel like she was using buck - especially since she never told buck her ex worked there.

i love josh but i think his speech about not judging tommy for his actions while in the closet ignores buck's true concern. buck knew what state abby was in when tommy and her broke up, clearly she didn't get into the details, but he knew her mom was sick and how lonely she was after the break up. i'm pretty sure abby thought her mom was the reason for the break up in the first place. which makes his comments about her going "nuts" a lot worse. her mom was dying.

maddie's "you're worried he'll hurt you the same way" coupled with buck's denial - only for him to be hurt the same way. because if tommy could fake a relationship for years, make abby feel like she is the reason for the break up, call her nuts for moving on the way she did while her mom was dying, and then not tell buck about it for six fucking months, of course he could be in relationship and never truly be all the way in.

both abby and tommy were transformative relationships to buck but they were both one sided relationships.

things i need from season 8

the diaz sisters - at this point the only thing that can help eddie is the not-so-silent judgement of a younger sister. ideally, one of them will show up and be like "you left chris with mum and dad?????? wtf??" and for him to flounder while she tells him chris is now spending the summer with his other aunt and cousins while she deals with whatever "this is" as she makes vague gestures towards him

a pet for buck - maybe dog but honestly i think he should adopt a number of the ugliest cats you've ever seen and have it be an ongoing joke that no-one ever sees the same cat so you don't know how many he has (truthfully i want someone to give that man a baby but ugly cats are the next best thing) (if we could get one shot of him [and tommy😉] waking up in a bed completely covered in cats it would make my year)

karen to be allowed one free punch at councilwoman ortez (and obvi to get mara back)

hen also gets a free shot but i almost feel karen deserves it more - she puts up with so much shit

taylor kelly redemption - maybe its just that i imprinted on her like a baby duckling but i want them to bring taylor back and have her do an expose on ortez & gerard

recast michael and bring him back - give bobby back his friend and let them resume their shenanigans!!!! honestly maybe they do the initial research into ortez&gerard and poor taylor has to work with them to make it into an actual news story

previously stated monster truck accident

more ravi - i need a ravi, begins episode more than i need oxygen

just like more silly calls - a toddler who's got their leg stuck in a stair railing, a grown man stuck up a tree trying to get down a cat (the cat jumps down easily by itself right in the middle of the rescue), MOUNTED POLICE!!!! i have just recently learnt that there are mounted police in LA (thank you the rookie) and WHY we haven't had a call with them and buck being a secret horse whisperer i'll never know but i need it

athena/bobby honeymoon redo - they deserve one nice vacation okay!!!!!

hostage-negotiator!may - i think the actress has gone to uni (good for her) and i also don't know how long it takes to learn to be a hostage-negotiator but i just think that she would be good at it and it would be fun (also i really just want may back! i love and miss her 😭)

and more jee!!!!! i love her too!!! and the enormous wendy house i hope buck, eddie, and tommy build for her

Us fic writers have crashed so many dang helicopters 😂😂😂

Do you think this is something that's gonna end up happening in the new season?

(I personally do, it just makes the most sense in the context of the show. It's a drama, all the couples have had some wump, including Karen. If Tommy stays long and established (which I really hope for) that's just the most obvious thing. Plus, Buck has been in that hospital bed enough already.)

i love tommy, and because i love him i think they need to hurt him.

whether it's a chopper crash or some other work emergency where he finds himself a victim (since he's a first responder it tracks that he would get hurt at work, because an out-of-work accident might require too much detached plot) seeing tommy hurt is a positive thing for two important reasons:

1) buck gets to worry over him and take care of him (we might even get some post-incident hurt/comfort but that's besides the point) which will highlight how much buck cares about him.

2) it's like you said: the longterm partners have all been hurt, so for tommy to join the ranks would be the show pointing at him like: see? we hurt him because we love him. he survived because we're keeping him.

(and yeah, buck needs a break from the hospital bed for awhile!)

Since there’s a three month time gap from the end of season 7 to season 8, I’d love to see bucktommy celebrating some sort of anniversary

Just a subtle comment from Buck about how they’ve been together for x amount of months and that they’re going out to celebrate

[mischiefbuckley]

motorcycle guy… missed opportunity indeed to not have buck flirt with the guy while he was telling him that he needed his motorcycle like it would have been a nice parallel to buck and the tapeworm guy from season 1 and again once again demonstrate that buck has been and will always be a bisexual man

[bludhavensbirdboy]

Hi can everyone stop throwing around claims about biphobia and whatever else! You can of course be sad about bucktommy breaking up if you liked the ship but to imply it’s the networks biphobia or some bullshit like that is just insane! Buck is bisexual that’s canon, he doesn’t have to kiss men or be in a relationship with a man to make his sexuality valid in any way and that’s exactly what yous are implying by saying the BT breakup is biphobic! They aren’t erasing bi buck, they aren’t erasing queer characters, they have had queer characters since the start of the show. If they didn’t want buck in a relationship with a man they wouldn’t have done it in the first place! They would have allowed buck to have his bi realisation and not put him in a relationship. The BT breakup is just another plot point that has no sinister reasoning behind it! Yous are acting like in the breakup scene Tommy didn’t say stuff about how this isn’t his last, Tommy was just his first implying there is more relationships to come. There is no erasure happening. To tank reviews of an episode and complain to show runners under the guise of biphobia or interference from show runners/network instead of just saying you wish BT was endgame is insane and everyone needs to take a breather.

hate to ruin my tough bitch reputation but uh,,,, lil scared bout tonight ya

[buckbeforeyou]

just when I thought this show couldn’t get more unserious, Buck has a FULL BLOWN MUMMY CURSE THAT GIVES HIM FACE BOILS, I couldn’t make this shit up even if I tried

[chaos-bisexual]

in the spirit of season 8 being less than a month away, here’s my official 911 bingo card for this season! (some of this is me 100% reaching, but idc i’m just here to have fun and manifest buddie canon)

[makorragal-312]

Gotta admit, after last night's episode, I was completely lost as to what the conflict was gonna be between Buck and Tommy that was gonna lead to them eventually breaking up.

But now that I think about it, I think Tommy is going to finally make his feelings known (most likely without meaning to) that he's envious of the family dynamic within the current 118 and that he wants to experience it.

This will lead to Buck questioning how he never experienced it or made any strong connections with anyone if he was in the 118 through both Gerrard AND Bobby. And that's gonna lead to Buck finding out about Tommy's past behavior under Gerrard and how he treated Chim and Hen and then it's gonna make Buck confront Tommy about longing for that connection when he could've had it had he not been a bigot.

The two are gonna fight and then BOOM, breakup.

[you-me-we-04]

Early 911 prediction Tommy was working as a spy for the congresswomen but actually fell in love with Buck somewhere along the way. Bonus points if he's been feeding her lies but still doesn't know how to come clean to Buck about everything.

Brad, Buck/Eddie — Brad thinks they’re together

While shadowing the Firefam, Brad comes to the conclusion that Buck and Eddie are together, and starts giving them (loud and obnoxious, but well meaning) compliments.

Bonus points for Brad learning about Chris and making a comment about Buck and Eddie being dads, causing Eddie to blue screen.

Fill: None

Another hunting story

I was daydreaming Saturday morning when this fine specimen of a whitetail buck stepped into a small clearing I hunt over on the east side of our property.

It was shortly after daybreak - a time when I should have been on high alert. I wasn't; my mind was in the clouds, backlit by the rising sun. By the time I returned to the here-and-now the buck had passed through the clearing, out of bow range, and was back in thick cover.

For the next half-hour I cursed my wandering mind: “Why bother to be out here before dawn when you’re not going to pay attention during the most crucial hour of the hunt …?”, etc., etc., etc. …

I'm not sure what brought the buck back to his ultimate doom. It might have been my antler-rattling or mimicking grunts, designed to make him think rivals were afoot. It might have his natural route.

But my money is on my “Bleat in Heat II” call, meant to imitate a doe in estrus. The buck allowed his passion to overrule his judgement. A common tale, indeed.
