#911 speculation ig???

[lonelychicago]

hi so i watched this sneak peek and then i blinked and next thing i know ive written this thing.... i might use it for a s7 fic or i might not. so.... yeah, enjoy ig.

"You've been acting weird all week, Buck. What is it? Talk to me."

"It's like that thing when you meet somebody and you just click." Buck repeats the words that have been haunting him for weeks. He lets the bitterness and fear that have been choking him, suffocating him, slip off his lips.

He is not fine. It's the thing.

He could usually go over to Eddie’s house and let himself in whenever he wanted. He could— spend all of his free time with the guy and with Chris and feel like he's at home.

And sometimes they still do that.

Except Tommy is there most of the time, too. If it's not a night at the bar after a long shift where they want to unwind and Tommy just enters, confident and smiley and so unbothered by anything, it's Tommy inviting them to a fight or a game or whatever.

And Buck likes the guy. Hell, he has fucked the guy himself.

It's just—

He misses Eddie. He misses Eddie when he is right there in front of him, and it hurts. It hurts in a way Buck hasn't felt in a long time.

"Buck, what the hell are you talking about?" A slight crease forms in between Eddie's brows. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"It's what you told me, when we were talking about Tommy."

"So? Now I can't have any more friends?" Eddie raises his eyebrows, and Buck knows he's sounding... insane, needy, clingy. All of the above whatever.

"You can. I just—" Buck lets out a slow breath. "I hate change, okay? And I hate—"

"Nothing has changed."

"Eddie, everything has changed." Buck lets out a startled, sharp and bitter laugh. It sounds hollow and wrong, even to his own ears.

It stings. Like taking a sip of tea so hot it burns the roof of your mouth or like digging your finger against a tender bruise that hasn't quite healed yet.

"Everything has changed," Buck whispers, looking helplessly into Eddie’s eyes. Because unlike before, now he knows that the jealousy he feels, the unreasonable possessiveness he feels... it's because he is in love.

He is in love with Eddie Diaz.

[peggingeddiediaz]

In both instances, they kiss without knowing who the actual person is underneath the mask. Halloween party where Buck is dressed as Spiderman and Eddie as Zorro could be a thing.

[usercelestial]

aside from anything else, if tommy doesn't come back in season 8, it would just feel incredibly narratively unsatisfying, which i think is how you know a lot of the people who are calling for tommy to just be written out between seasons don't actually know how stories work/really only read bad fanfiction because do you know how confusing it would feel to re-introduce a character that has appeared several times in the past as a romantic partner for a main character only for them to break up off screen with no resolution. which i think is especially funny because sometimes some of these people will call him a plot device, which aside from them using that term wrong, doesn't make sense if you also want him to be written out with no explanation. if you think he's a plot device, he actually has to be used for the plot. not just show up, show potential, and then leave with none of that potential being realized.

even when it was natalia, a love interest introduced for the first time in the back half of the season who had no background or defining personality traits, it still felt weird that they just broke up off screen after all the hype around how great their relationship was going to be for buck. it felt unfinished and empty.

imagine that feeling but 10x worse because we actually know tommy already and general audiences have had the time to get connected to him. we have been told directly (i.e. bobby) and shown directly (i.e. the hospital scene, the coffee date scene, the dinner scene, etc etc) that tommy and buck's relationship is significant. regardless of if they'll break it off and do something different with buck's character, at the very least, if contracts n such permit, they will keep him on to see that storyline through.

[deluweil]

Lol way to give up the biggest spoilers 😂

[disaster-j]

See idk what happened behind the scenes to cause what is clearly a very sudden change of plans for Buck's romantic arc and idk if the buddie may be back on the board vibes I'm getting are real and if they are what actually caused it to be back on board so i will stay as neutral as possible and just wait to see what goes down and how long the show keeps my interest bc unlike some people i can be an adult about a show not going where i was expecting it to go

[taketheplanspinitsideways]

After all the joy of the last few day's interviews, it's typical that there's something to bring me back down again. I can't believe she's actually still filming after everything. There really is no end in sight 😭

[guardian-angle22]

lmao okay sooo I’m thinking there’s going to be an episode where Julian plays two characters in his cousin that was on OG and then Mateo and that is what Ronen is talking about “never being done”... this is my ~prediction.

[minaciclamina]

I mean, Jennifer is totally right, but I can see Chim singing the Mary Poppins’ song while drunk at a karaoke bar with Hen and other firefighters

911onabc: the answer you've been waiting for is finally here.

sike. 🙂

[watchyourbuck]

After watching ep 1 of 911 s7, I was left with this kinda… ig weird (?) feeling about the Chris and Buck conversation. Not only bc I never imagined Chris to be a player (that was my sweet lil boy😭), but because to me it felt like,,,, really uncomfortable and SO different from their usual conversations and dynamic.

But THEN I realized why.

This is the first time that Eddie recurs to Buck for an actual coparenting feat that doesn’t involve physically saving somebody from like,,,, horrifying situations (tsunami, the shooting, the meltdown). When in the interviews they said Buck and Eddie were getting closer than ever this season,,,,, 👁️ I can’t keep Buddie-speculating cuz we’ll see, but this- this is real u guys.

Don’t get me wrong, Buck’s always been a coparent (cough cough, the will). Besides the previously listed Disasters™️, he makes sure the kid eats, goes to school, is safe, is warm, listens to his dad, etc. NOW? Now he’s in charge of a really delicate situation, and that’s b o u n d to be uncomfortable,,,, like tell me ONE parent who’s ready or excited to have this kind of talk with his kids???

Yall know what this means right ????? Actual parent!Buck (<33) who Eddie actually leans on for you guessed it,,,, coparenting.

[winchester27]

This NOT the end of the hot Priest, and I’m gonna tell you why. This is my own personal theory so take it with a grain of salt because I had this thought at like 5:50 in the morning at work.

OK SO LISTEN

We all know the theory of season 8 following Buddies biggest traumatic events right? Hotshots is gonna have a call to Buck getting struck by lightning, we had a call back to the well, we aren’t gonna get another tsunami because that shit is rare enough to hit LA let alone twice in the span of less than 10 years.

So the running theories are Bucks gonna get shot, which is another marker in the Buddie trauma train. This theory comes from the ending shot in 8x06 with Eddie looking through his peephole.

The other running theory is that Buck is gonna get into a car accident, this comes from a BTS pic Oliver posted, which is a marker for Eddie more so than Buddie because Shannon was hit by a car and killed.

NOW THE HOT PRIEST

My theory is that Buck is more likely to get into a car accident than shot because I personally cant come up with a plausible reason why he would get shot. Some people have said since 911 likes to mimic IRL events, there could be an Alec Baldwin situation and Brad could accidentally shoot Buck with a prop gun. It’s speculated Brad specifically because of comments the actor has left on his IG posts saying like not to trust Brad and stuff. Look on TikTok and I’m sure you’ll find it lmao

BUT BACK TO HOT PRIEST

Bucks gets into the accident, and Eddie has to be first responder because either he’s on shift, which I think would be more likely, or he happens to be with Buck. Eddie starts to relive the Shannon ordeal and all of his emotions are coming back. We saw hot priest (I think his name was Brian? I have shit memory forgive me hot priest) talking with Eddie and lowkey flirt I ain’t gonna lie. Ryan and I think Tim have both said Eddie turns back to the church now that could’ve been just for the confessional scene or more. I think Eddie’s gonna turn to the church and pray for Buck and hot priest is going to pray and talk with him.

Eddie’s gonna tell HP what happened with Shannon and how he doesn’t want Christopher to lose another parent, he doesn’t wanna lose someone else he loves, etc and HP just reads Eddie like a fruit rollup and just lays all his shit out on the table

THATS MY THEORY so please be respectful, you’re all welcome to leave comments, add on to the theory, or dispel it. If anything I’ve said happens to be false let me know so I can correct it!

[valenschmidt]

The cast has been posting a lot of content recently, and they all seem extremely happy overall. Does it have to do with Abc? Is it because they gave the guys the green light to do whatever they like? Or is it some sort of Abc's promo strategy? Idk, they all look genuinely happy, like something changed.

Good morning anon!!!

This is pure speculation on my part BUT as someone who's been here a while I haven't seen them post this much bts content since S2 and I think ABC has everything to do with it

I can tell that since the move from fox to ABC, the cast and crew has been happier. Whether it's because they were having the worst time under fox management, or working conditions are getting better, whatever it is it's making them happier.

Last season's promotion on ABC was something special because they were treating 911 as if it was a new show so promotion was bigger, better and a lot more than ever before in 911's history.

The thing is, ABC's promotion is just what we see in the official 911onabc ig page, the rest is just the cast having fun and if ABC takes that chance to comment under their posts to increase the views then that is a great strategy.

I believe that the reason why they're posting so much content now (more photos, more bts, the tiktoks, etc.) Is because they finally feel happy and comfortable enough to be silly and have fun (which they used to before but they didn't show it much)

AND to finish up this I can say that is a BIG pattern among the cast (most especially with Oliver) that the more they post, comment and participate in the content posted, the happier they are with the way the storyline is going

So let's enjoy the new season and hope for the best because if we guide ourselves with the bts content we're in for a treat 🤣

[lemotmo]

so i was thinking and let’s enter in the big IF world

so let’s say that buddie and henren are at madney’s for some kind of party/dinner, we saw ostark and rg in more “elegant” attire plus the ig story aisha shared with tracie, kenny and the kids

lfjr isn’t there, no? why hide him? 911 isn’t spiderman trying to hide the presence of tobey maguire and andrew scott, im not talking about reels like the one kenny does with the core 4 but like being in the background like it already happened like we saw gerrard actor

i don’t think they are going to film another scene at madney several days later to add him because it isn’t a solo scene between ostark and lfjr but with other characters so like they did with tracie (by calling her on set for that scene)

and what it’s making me even more sure about an off screen break up is the fact that they showed us buck invite him to his sister wedding after only one week so why don’t invite him to his sister place weeks after being together and since they claim this is the endgame season, they are going to live together say ily and proposal by the end of s8 isn’t strange????? lmao

i don’t know what i would prefer between an off screen break up or him being there but not as an integrated part of buck’s life

Hi Nonny!

While you're right that there's no point in hiding Lou, I'm not entirely convinced he wasn't there. To be honest, he could have been there. It's a big set, he could have been anywhere as they were in between filming. We didn't see JLH either, but I'm willing to bet she's there as well.

But whether or not he actually was there isn't really the point, is it? The fact of the matter is that the show chose Oliver and Ryan to shoot that fun little promo video that day. If Lou was actually there? It makes it even more apparent where the story is actually going. If he wasn't there, well... I'm sure no one really missed him. ;)

I wish I could say 'Yeah Nonny, you're right! It will definitely be an off screen break up,' but I won't just yet. The reason I'm so hesitant in awknowledging that Lou is gone for good is because I don't want people to get too sure about this theory, to the point that they'll be heavily disappointed when he does show up.

I want all of us to be in the mindset of 'it's possible he'll be back,' so we'll be able to just calmly nod and not care if he does happen to show up unexpectedly. We all know that if he does show up, it's temporary, but I need all of us to stay calm and almost have a non-reaction to his presence.

Why should we care about Tommy and waste time and energy worrying about whether or not he'll be there? He is literally a plot device character brought in for one purpose only. It'll only fuel the negativity in the fandom.

If we harnass all that energy to focus on positivity and to speculate about Eddie and Buddie's storyline instead, the fandom experience will be a much more enjoyable one.

As to what storyline I would prefer? Well, in a perfect world, I would have loved to see the whole BT story play out until their break up, intertwined with Eddie's storyline. It could have been very interesting. But as it is right now? I just want Lou/Tommy gone. I'm so tired of his fanbase.

Have a great day/evening/night Nonny!

Talk about 1+1... 👀

[h50europe]

HELL HATH, NO FURY LIKE A FANDOM SCORNED (borrowed from the SPN fandom). I am not one who usually speaks up. But the things that are currently going down in the 911 fandom initiated from a particular corner of it with bashing actors and even harassing their family members on IG, as well as fellow fans, are disgusting. I had my share in other fandoms and got burned. I thought the 911 fandom was different. Little did I know.

The fandom has different levels of canonicity, from canon to fanon. The fandom is large enough to accommodate all of us. Can we please enjoy the present moment instead of playing the Oracle of Delphi? Speculations, discussions, and criticism (if constructive) are okay. But not going on a rampage based on hearsay, rumors, or a hunch.

The actors admit they are often unaware of what's coming next, as they receive their scripts on short notice. Longtime fans of the show know that anything is possible. Every fandom has its tin hats and conspiracy theorists, some of whom can be vocal and unpleasant.

However, the whole point of being in a fandom is to have fun. The playground is big enough for all of us, and plenty of talented, creative minds are contributing to the community.

Personally, I take the show as it comes. I'm used to not just having a favorite ship but an entire armada 😎 So I wouldn't go as far as declaring something "dead in the water" ( because I saw that concerning #Buddie) based solely on interviews. No offense here.

We should sit back and let the story unfold, treating it like a bottle of wine. You open it and then let it breathe. You don't immediately pour the liquid into the glass and drink it. Tim managed to surprise us by the end of the 100th episode. Who knows what else he has in store.

We are open to it. Of course, we sometimes disagree with the plot. But we don't throw a tantrum. There's already enough drama in this world. No need to add to it with "fandom wars" that go nowhere but hurt many people in the wake.

If you made it here, thanks for taking the time to read. You get an extra batch of brownie points...

[supercalime]

all those interviews are fun even with hardcore stans speculation but god i wish they kinda stopped.

like, stop having stans interviewing actors in the first place, what do you mean they talk about couch theory? are we even serious right now? it’s obvious people are going to create even weirder hc after all these interviews.

I understand the interviewers (to a degree) bringing up b*ddie and baiting Oliver and Ryan to “leak” information or address how they are defenders of the ship, as it obviously makes dramatic headlines, which causes engagement, which advertises the show and by extent the website/reporter that did the interview.

Just a bit off topic but it has to be said: most of the interviews are borderline unprofessional. Not just with the aspect of bringing up b*ddie when the recent storyline has nothing to do with eddie but also relying their questions on stereotypes about the queer community (someone unironically asked Oliver who’s buck’s favorite pop diva now that he’s queer. Like wtf).

Anyway, going back to the mess haha. I’m not surprised the stans are acting this way (I’m very new to this fandom but not to fandoms and their discourses). I’m sometimes very invested in media and there are times I do extrapolate and need to touch grass. Sometimes I feel like people who are this invested in a fictional relationship that’s not even canon just need to find a different outlet for intense feelings, and not rely on things that are out of their control.

Of course fan reaction can influence a story being told, however fans have to also know how to approach it while being respectful. In all honesty, if I were writing a show and I finally went with a storyline I wasn’t allowed to write before because the network previously denied, and that was how the fans of a ship reacted, I would be pissed. I think I would not have b*ddie be a thing out of spite.

The bi!buck/bucktommy storyline is a huge step forward for a tv show in this scale. In fact, I can’t remember other procedurals that have as many queer main characters as 911/911 lone star. It’s been said, but a story about this very masculine man that has been known as a womanizer figuring out he’s bisexual well into his thirties and in the seventh season of a very popular show that is not part of a specific niche is important and should be celebrated on its own, regardless of ships or whatever the fans have to say about the partner choice.

But let’s be real for a second as I end my little essay here. If you know a single thing about writing, you know you can’t just throw a love story without buildup and as hard as it is to accept, the interactions between buck and eddie seemed to have always been ambiguous on purpose, and buck being maybe into guys was more played off as a joke. I know the fans want the ship to happen, but if they want this love story to happen, they gotta be patient. Just commenting “we don’t like this. We want buddie!” on an ig post about tevan won’t make the story suddenly turn into that direction.

What I’m saying won’t change anyone’s mind but whoever reads until the end, I want yall to know that unfortunately every fandom is like this and we gotta try our best to stay out of the discourse cause in all seriousness: none of this matters. It’s a show and arguing about it, bothering the actors, commenting annoying things on ig won’t change anything.

[castle-dominion]

castle 6x12 deep cover

the castle's dad episode liveblog

Hm, leaves the phone off the hook but lmao how slow he called 911

It rained on my mom & dad's wedding. They didn't care about the superstition that you can't see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding so they took all the pictures they needed & when it rained & her dress may have gotten muddy it didn't matter.

but yeah lol this is what it's like planning to have your kid's bday.

Martha <3

MARTHA

(clears her throat) A little unsolicited advice –

CASTLE

Do you give another kind?

BECKETT gives him a look, but MARTHA ignores him.

MARTHA

In life, there is no such thing as a perfect time for anything.

She turns away. They’re confused.

CASTLE

I’m sorry, that’s advice how?

MARTHA

(scoffs) Don’t wait. Hell, just go down to city hall right now. You love each other. Stop talking about it. Just do it.

She turns back to her coffee. CASTLE and BECKETT look at each other, considering her idea.

I thought this was where they had the "we got married!" "seriously!?!?" part I saw in gifs.

Yes, I have a feeling esposito DOES know Beckett can lift her... whatever you were going to say

Hello? Nothing.

Yeah I noticed too, his place is beautiful

Oh yeah no grease won't come out.

RC: Sounds like a case of Weekend At Bernie’s gone wrong. (they look at him) No. No, wait. That would mean there’s such a thing as Weekend At Bernie’s gone right.

Maybe he ties one left handed & ties one right handed.

My dad's house-- no my great aunt's house had a loose floorboard but there was no space under it. You couldn't fit anything under there. It just gave you splinters. You know, the house at the farm kind of sucked.

lmao the animation is hilarious

JE: One you can’t crack? (he leans over her shoulder) C’mon genius bar, I thought you were the best. *flirtatiously*

& they didn't see the criminal record? otr wait ig he was a minor so it was sealed.

He’d call it ‘pulling a Robin Hood’.

love it

RYAN u know, pat leave could have been a good excuse to send the actor away for a collaboration with one of abc's other shows for a week so he doesn't have to be in this ep.

rc: Now, Ted’s laptop is like Fort Knox on steroids, but Tori found some unscrambled artifacts in the registry to a service set identifier. (off BECKETT’S impressed look) I don’t know what that means either, but she got really excited about it.

( A sec later) RC: Now, according to the website, Universal Banking Solutions handles strategic and tactical procurements for international clients.

KB: And what does that mean?

RC: I – I don’t know. I’m just reading the screen there.

I would have given the phone to becks immediately

Dad?

Not a word!

Man's obv lying

I thought becks recognized him bc he looked like castle.

Castle just staring into space lol

KB: mentions international espionage

RC: we have no information to speculate

LP: approximately 15 minutes before his death Ted at clams and funnel cake. Can you believe that? Ugh.

KB: Lanie, you slice open dead people for a living and you’re grossed out by that?

It's different!

Is clams is carnival food...???

LP: Okay, you two creep me out when you do that shared brain thing.

Love the c being burnt out

love how they are eating funnel cake XD

& ryan eats esposito's funnel cake while wearing his crime scene gloves dkjlsdjkfs

GIANT BUBBLES

*checks his watch* about 40 years

That doesn't seem likely. He'd hire soeone else.

He said to text lol

"leave a message >:("

JE: Castle.

RC startles. RC: Geez!

JE: Man, bro. Why are you so jumpy?

RC: Dude, I’m not. I’m just –

JE: Well, you will be once you hear what we found. C’mon.

"you will be" that's such a thing to say

FORMER?

HITMAN?

castle your version of emergency might not be the same as anderson cross's

KB: U ok?

RC: .. Yeah

Me: you can say "meh this case is putting me on edge"

Ryan ADHD moments just chewing on a paperclip

I was a little busy getting shot

Cross: Did you bring the booze?

RC: Did you bring the booze?

Cross: No. I want you to steady your nerves. Take a swig.

RC: Good idea.

*martha drinks too*

Reminds me of my autosurgery

I love the sound of someone's hand in a tub of mayonnaise. & the music is good too

"at elast this time I got a needle" WHAT

she's right, he made that choice a long time ago

Wow the cia just hired a kid who was arrested for identity theft & got him killed? Sounds about right.

it IS a good story

Lol gun battle

Cross: I was in spycraft a car chase!

Becks: lol no

the news: There was a car chase!

Becks: that doesn't prove it

Esposito: Ted was a spy. also the car chase.

So that's cool

also wow nice colourful computers. & wow nice Ryan being the techy one of the four

(Ooh & the csu techs have their own background & lives & motions & stuff)

KR: idk someone stole the hard drive

Anderson Cross: *holds up hard drive* :D :D

"that's incredeibly illegal"

"yep"

Beckett wants lto go? she wants to... Ok then.

Ok but copy-paste the password in

MR: You can find a spy on your phone?

RC: Mother, there’s an app for everything now.

You can't promise that. You cannot contrl gemini or the buyer.

But I know what he means by that promise

she DOES have juice

Call ur mom then

oh my gosh please just control c control v the password

3 minutes for that much content? rly?

speed dial

I have those glasses... or work does

castle if ur mom is calling u better answer bc she is relevant to this

lol the gun

Oh no a router!

*pulls a gun on him*

say "I have to go" or smth

left the phone book & laptop. becks can see "hang up or i'll kill you"

*appears out of nowhere*

HE JUST KILLED HIM

i mean ig that was the mission...

*remembering that time castle "randomly" hugs esposito in a future season*

"the way you never let anything happen to ted?"

true

Beckett & castle are not telling them that he's dead? I mean they can't bc then they'd have t o tell abt anderson cross. but also wait. how would they be able to tell it was tony blaine in the first place w/o revealing that it was castle's dad?

Work you for information or beckett is right, he wanted to spend time with you...

FAMILY FSKLDFJSDLJK

She's so happy

Martha...

oh wow that's beautiful

Great ending scene too
