#911 5a

[destialpal]

I’m talking about it again bc to this day nothing in 911 has made me scream with laughter like Eddie Diaz cutting Ana off at breakfast and saying this

LIKE WHAT IS THAT DUDE CHILL OUT LMAOOOO

[princessfbi]

Do you miss the voiceovers?

Yes. They were cheesy and I love them. I also think they’re a great tool to include characters that weren’t highly focused on. Like I feel like 5a would’ve felt less like it was missing something if we had Maddie voice overs.

She’s Been Left Unattended!

buck's abandonment issues have been grappled with in so many ways throughout the series......his job, his sister, abby, bobby, the 118 as a whole.........but now they are explicitly making them about eddie and that is. that is so so juicy and SUCH a way to finally get to The Eddie of It All..............

Eddie's hair through the seasons

so i know we don't technically know if the shooting was supposed to be the start of canon buddie, like at the end of the day, we're just theorising based on what oliver's said (though i do think it makes the most sense just given, y'know, everything) but now i'm thinking about s5 buddie and how something about their relationship just felt so fucking tender????????? like, the tone was obviously much heavier in s5 and, as such, their moments were much more serious/emotional as opposed to lighthearted but there really was just so much affection underneath every single one of their scenes, y'know???? and when i think of fanon buddie - the buddie i write in fics set in some nebulous canon compliant timeline - it's always the version of them we get during that season. the ones who are undoubtedly a family and have seen the worst of each other and just see each other full stop and are there to pick up each other's pieces when they need to. there was just this overall feel that they were Going Somewhere with it all and i really, really do think in another timeline it would've been the slow burn build up of all time 🥹

[distractionpie]

I am broadly excited for s8e8 and keeping an open mind, but my key wish for the upcoming episode is please please please let there be progress for Eddie and Christopher. All other theories and hopes I can take or leave but if we go into the season hiatus not meaningfully moved at all from where s7 left them then I am... going to be very frustrated.

[blorbodiaz]

my girlfriend chose the perfect day to watch the shooting for the first time on her binge, but i don’t have the heart to tell her The News™

[seddair]

for those of us new here, what did oliver say about BT

Couldn’t find a link, but I did find these screenshots from the article right before 5B. There really hadn’t been any indication that the relationship was going to sour this quickly, so the way he talks about Buck “settling” for Taylor was interesting. Also him saying that Lucy made Buck feel alive like he hasn’t in some time is lol.

I did find a link to a different article also right before 5B where Oliver talks about there being a wrench thrown in BT’s relationship and how we’re finally getting fun Buck again (lmao).

my personal opinion, based on shannon’s age and eddie’s comments about enlisting, is that buck and eddie are super close in age but eddie is a little older, based on chimney’s comment. i think there’s no more than 1 year between them though, partly bc it makes the bartender in south america vs fighting in afghanistan thing more sad. i think some people see ryan being 4 years older than oliver (which he doesn’t look, that man has a baby face lol) and automatically make the characters reflect that

Yeah, I'm with you, I go back and forth with where I want Eddie's birthday to be, because with Shannon being from October 1992 and Buck is speculated to be from 1992 too, and I know a lot of people like to say Eddie is a Scorpio and Buck is a Cancer, and I like that interpretation, so I put Eddie being from November 1991 and Buck from July 1992, so sevenish months, but because I kept trying to work out a way for all of them to be in the same grade in a universe they go to the same school. I had a bit of let's make Eddie a Gemini and put them a month or so apart moment after death and taxes just because it would make for some funny interactions like: Eddie trying to get Buck to do something: I'm older than you. Buck exasperated: BY 27 DAYS. The thought made me giggle.

But my reasoning even before the tombstone was based on Chim saying they would both be 12 a decade before under pressure, and obviously that's an exaggeration but it is one that puts them in the same age group in my opinion, and also the you're not his elder comment that makes it clear that Eddie is somewhat older than Buck. But the thing that made me put Eddie as at most 28 when he's introduced is the way that enlisting because my girlfriend got pregnant is not a reaction of someone who's been out living in the real world for 4 to 5 years. That's very much a "I've been out of school for 6 months, I'm not going to college, my girlfriend got pregnant and the world got real over a positive sign on a plastic stick" reaction in my opinion, you know what I mean? So if I'm assuming Chris was an accident that happened with Eddie and Shannon fresh out of highschool, Buck and Eddie can't be that far from each other.

And I think you're right, I think most people latched onto the way Ryan is older and just decided that was true to Eddie too. Which is insane because the moment I realized that step up 4 was over 6 years before season 2, my first reaction was what the fuck, does he not age? Lol

Words: 8,932

Summary:

Clear liquid is spilling from the downed bottle, soaking into the rug underneath the table. Somewhere in the back of Buck’s mind he realizes that isn’t something that should be happening.

He doesn’t know how to stop it. He can’t see the cap to the bottle anywhere in sight, so he sits listlessly on the couch and watches as the bottle empties itself. Buck wishes he could do that. He wishes he could lie down and let everything flow out of him. He wishes he could pour every thought from his mind. Maybe then he would know peace and quiet.

The one where Buck isn't coping well. Or at all...with anything.

My notes: this is one of those fics that will leave you completely speechless while and after reading it.

and if i say that, as i was rewatching it, eddie getting shot really felt like it was supposed to be the turning point in buddie’s relationship THEN WHAT

[blakegallo]

my toxic trait is staying vaguely aware of what's happening on 9-1-1 because some small part of me is convinced that i'll go back to finish it at some point... spoilers? under the cut?

and by vaguely staying aware i mean following oliver stark fan pages on instagram that linked to post episode interviews where i continue to be convinced that the 9-1-1 writers room is the most unhinged place outside of the cw from 2011-2022....

like "buck dies as part of his journey of self discovery..." like one... clearly the man doesn't die then. but also after how many near death experiences does one gain "some insight and wisdom into himself and help accelerate his journey for himself"

i mean this is the same show that that shannon get hit by a car for eddie's personal growth journey and have continued to put buck in near death experiences or have patients die on him so that he could learn something since s1... so expecting different is really me putting on clown makeup.

HE DESERVES ALL THE HUGS

I don't think we, as a community, talk enough about the trauma Harry went through. I mean, his sister tried to kill herself when he was 8/9 years old (may is also a whole situation on itself, I could make the same post about her, just more intense) then someone pointed gun at him when he was around 11(?). THEN, there is the whole "his mom nearly got beaten to death" thing, and after that, he got kidnapped by the guy that nearly killed his mom and now, in the new season? The whole mom and other important people in big danger thing again.

I know there are characters with more traumatic things, but he still has some, which I've never seen discussed in the fandom

[littlespoonevan]

i can't lie i'm Very intrigued that they brought back the atc crew from 5x01 and now next episode they're seemingly doing a call at the school from 5x04 as well as using a very similar episode title (Home and Away vs No Place Like Home) like?????? are we about to get a 5a redux skdjfhasjkfh 👀

[valenschmidt]

question cause i’m new to 911/buddie. i’ve seen people say buddie was supposed to go canon in an early season but higher ups shot it down. is there proof of that, or is it fans wishing they’d gone canon earlier? do you know?

Ok anon let's start from the beginning

There is this one twitter account (who we call Marvel account) that has been posting inside information since at least 2021. This account had legit info and would post things that ended up being canon with MONTHS in advance. We don't know who this person is or how they get this info but his source is 100% legit. This info will be useful later so we're leaving it for now

Back in s4 when the sho*ting/Will storyline was created, it was created with the purpose of establishing Buddie canon. Of course at the time we had no idea this was happening. The problem??? Fox didn't like that one bit, so they decided to shut it down. We still got that scene but after it happened we never got it mentioned again

This is the reason why I personally especulate Tim Minear decided to leave the show and go work in LoneStar full time (this is not confirmed but it would make sense since he probably had been building up buddie since at least s3)

Fast forward to 2024 Oliver confirms in a podcast inteview post 7x04 that he had been approached with the idea of Buck being bi a couple of years ago (he doesn't especify the time frame but we can guess) but then it was shut down from above (I'll leave the video below as proof)

ALSO! It was also confirmed thanks to Lou Ferrigno Jr. in an interview that the Tommy storyline (the kiss and relationship) was originally going to go to Eddie but then changed direction and went to Buck instead...

Ryan ALSO confirmed in a post S7 interview that he didn't know to whom the storyline was going to go in the very beginning (I'll post it below when I find it)

So going back to Marvel account... during pride month this year after getting mad because of certain shippers (bt) Marvel account posted this

It confirms that Eddie has always been a gay character and they tried to make that canon during 5A (the panic attacks and the whole EddieAna break up being HEAVILY repressed gay coded) and in s7 with the Tommy storyline which gave us bi Buck in the end...

SO! Putting the pieces together we come to the conclusion that Eddie was introduced as a heavy gay coded character and with the chemistry Ryan and Oliver had Tim decided for Buddie and was shut down by FOX

Now on ABC they gave us bi Buck in the first couple of episodes and intensified the repressed gay Eddie storyline

We ARE still missing gay Eddie but it's only a matter of time in my opinion until we get Gay Eddie and Buddie canon

Hope this helped Anon!!!
