#Eddie & Karen bestie-ism

[buddiesmutslut]

🐰

I've had this idea forever, but I got a burst of motivation the other day and finally started it. It's also mostly done, & I've had so much fun writing Eddie being drunk

His jaw suddenly aches with the need to sink his teeth into that bicep as it flexes while he takes his turn at the pool table. He wants to bite, to feel that muscle and skin between his teeth, to taste the salty sweat against his tongue. 

He grinds his teeth together and flares his fingers to try and dissipate the need to squeeze Buck as tightly as possible with his hands and his arms and his teeth and his legs. 

“What’s the face?” Karen asks nonsensically as she palms his eye heavily. He thinks she meant it to be empathetic, or maybe she meant to poke him, who knows. They’ve had a lot of shots. 

“Wha’ face?” He slurs as he flinches and jerks back from her still flailing hand, getting dangerously close to his eye. 

“This face.” Ravi answers helpfully, squinting his eyes and leaning forward into Eddie’s space before he pokes Eddie’s cheek from the opposite side, as if to illustrate the face he means. 

“It’s jus’ my face!” Eddie swears, leaning as far back into his seat as he can to get away from all the appendages suddenly in his space. Ha. Appendages. That’s a really fun word. 

“Appendages.” He says to himself, huffing a chuckle at all the different constants and how it tickles his mouth when he says it slowly.

Some missing scenes from s6x13 Mixed Feelings.

Eddie is holding his cards close to his chest when it comes to his feelings for Buck. Will he take a chance and go all-in, or fold and keep his emotions hidden?

Meanwhile, Buck is trying not to reveal his own hand, but a well-timed shove might force him to show his cards. When Eddie finally asks Buck out, the stakes are high, but the rules of the game are unclear.

ugh thinking about how much a golden retriever bisexual buck and black cat lesbian taylor bestie-ism would EATTTTTT like i fear they had no choice but to write off taylor the way they did bc if they made them a mlm/wlw solidarity bestie duo instead of that fuckass relationship they would have been too powerful

and like you KNOW she would have already called his ass out on being in love with eddie like if she were there like she would have taken one look at 7x4 and gone “are you fucking stupid?” with a slap on the back of his head

she would have dunked that big-ass pitcher of beer over tarantula’s head if she heard him make that fucking closet joke

she would have done a hit piece on bigotry within the lafd featuring tortoiseshell when buck told her he got left on the sidewalk by tomato

she would have smacked eddie upside the head already and told him to wake tf up

she would have done a hit piece on ortiz to get mara back to hen and karen

she would have helped track down the cartel to make up for hurting bobby and athena in dosed

taylor kelly you deserved to be a bitchy lesbian and im sorry they made me end up hating you in s5 you deserved better

I’d love to see this season deal with Eddie managing Christopher’s growing independence and his struggle to figure out his identity outside of being a single dad! This was sort of hinted at last season, but they never really put words to it and I’d like to see it actually fleshed out. Maybe that’s by dating, maybe it’s by having casual hangs with friends besides Buck (Karen Eddie bestie-ism when??). Also hoping that Christopher gets more agency as a character and maybe his own plots! His inclusion in the promo photo and cast bios has me hopeful.

sorry it's taken me a bit to answer, but i agree with all of this so much! s6 laid some interesting groundwork for how eddie might be coping in the wake of chris's newfound independence + his loneliness and fear of dying alone, but never followed up on any of it, so it would be nice to see s7 pick that back up. and i would love to see chris get a plotline of his own, yes! there are so many interesting things they could do here, so i really hope they don't drop the ball (again)

WHERE'S MY PROMO

The promo has now been released lol - I'm back xD

It was part of the reason I put this off lol but also it was a show week so even there had been one I wouldn't have done it xD but this was extra motivation to wait

Anyway though it is currently Sunday and I'd seen tiny bits of the tiny trailer, I have now seen it! So,

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

MAYDAY??

THAT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD

B R I D G E C O L L A P S E??!?!!!?

ALSO UHH HEY LUCY XDD

AAAAHHHHHHH

Hey now where's Buck

A A A A A H H H H H H H B O B B Y

Like hi to you too Athena but 😭😭😭😭💔💔😬😬😳

Anyway AAAAAHHHHHHHHH in short I'm stressed :'))

That's the last of my last thoughts! Now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

I looved this episode!!! It was really great :D. I loved all the different storylines 🥰. Although PLEASE EDDIE you have BUCK!! XDD Anyway! By the way "looved" is supposed to have two o's, three just didn't quite fit right. But it is not a typo lol. Also, as of the start of this sentence, it's Tuesday. I had to sing at a graduation on Monday so I still haven't seen the next episode, but I need to do this before I can watch lol. So since it's been a week and I don't have too much time, this may be short. Anyway! Buck's storyline was hilarious, and honestly I'm glad that girl's gone xD. She kinda like immediately dipped and honestly no offense to her but. . . Buddie xD. Anyway, AAAHHHHH MADNEY IS/ARE ENGAGED!! YAYYY :'DDDD!! I'm so happy for them :))). And the calls were great today! Even though most of them were really sad 😭 xd. Well, the first one wasn't really sad I guess, I just felt bad for the guy xd. Like, yeah, she shouldn't have to say yes, but oof xd. And you're leading him on too! Anyhoo xD, the one with Athena was just 😭😭😭😭💔💔. I couldn't with that one <333. But the wedding one was super sweet :')) :D. I loved all of them 🥰.

Now it's time for the individual parts!

Ravi! As always, he slayed :D. We didn't see him too much, but he was great for what we did see :). I love him 🥰. And he was great at his job! Also, we didn't see him in the promo but I hope he's okay!

Athena and Bobby! They were great this episode :'D. AAHHH I can't believe they've been married for four years!!! That's so crazy :')). And the fact that they both got each other flowers :'D 🥰🥰❤️. I love them so much :)) <33 🥰. The call Athena responded to was super sad though 😭. I felt so bad for that poor woman :'((. And for it to be a reminder for Athena? Oof, honey :((. But she was great at her job <3. And Bobby was great at his job :D. Also try BETTER be okay next episode xdd. Bobby especially, since he looks to be in more danger. Anyway, I just loved that scene of them at the end :')).

Hen! She was great this episode :)). I'm glad she made herself clear to Maddie as well, not just talking with Chimney. And that they kind of made up from that :). Also that after that they just immediately went to trying to figure out what to do xD. I love them so much :)). Chim and Karen underrated bestie-ism and Hen and Maddie underrated bestie-ism. Lol xD Anyway! I live in FEAR for the next episode, she better be okay xdd 😭. All of them better be xd. But yeah! Hen was great at her job this episode :)). I love her 🥰.

Eddie! Get RID of her!! Anyway xD. He was great this episode :). I loved his montage at the beginning, it was hilarious xD. I saw someone put like a medication commercial over it and it was GOLD lol I died. Accidentally spelled golf there but that works still so xD. Anyway lol, this idiot man <33. But honestly guys xdd, Buddie, please. As in please give it to us lol. Also, his scenes with Chris were so cute :DD. Your honor I love them so much 🥰🥰. Also, as with everyone else, MY MAN BETTER BE OKAY!! So scared of next episode lol xdd. Anyway, Eddie was great at his job this week :D. I love him 🥰❤️.

Buck! YESS girl DROP HIMM!! I think I was gonna be telling Buck to drop her even though he didn't really, but this is what my brain wanted to say so eh whatever xD. Anyway! He was great this episode :D. Poor man was going through it in the exes department though xDD. Honestly I found it SO hilarious LOL XD. Especially Taylor's xD. Like they were just there at every turn XD. Poor Buck lol <33. What's-his-face's wide (who's name I also can't remember) showing up was interesting though 👀. I don't think Buck would get with her, but just in case right now I'm telling him no xD. I do hope her and the friend work it out though :)). Anyway, we didn't see Buck in the promo o.o. He BETTER be alright xdd. I will say I saw a picture (and saw a bit of somebody theorizing a bit) and like a tiny bit of a clip where it seems like he'll be doing the rescuing maybe? Idk, I just hope he's okay 😭. Anyway, he was great at his job this episode :)). I love him 🥰🥰.

Maddie and Chimney! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY'RE ENGAGED!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THEM :'DDD. Speaking of, CHIMNEY BETTER BE OKAY 😭😭!!! I mean Maddie too but I think she'll be fine lol. Talking about next episode xD. Anyway, I'm glad Maddie got to talk to hen herself :) - she deserved a chance to defend herself 🥰. And I'm glad they made up (kinda? It's not quite what happened but you know) :)). Also poor Chimney looking at signs the whole episode 😭❤️. His call with what's-her-face from the insurance company was HILARIOUS though lol xDD. I love her <33. She's my favorite character now :)). Anyway, THE PROPOSAL!!! AAAHHHH!!!!!! I'm still not okay over that :')). It was just so beautiful :'D, and I feel like it really makes sense to have Maddie do it. Like, that's not again anything about Chim, but just the fact that she's choosing it, you know? Choosing then, choosing hm :')). After everything she went through, she gets to choose :'D. Not that I would've minded Chim proposing, I would love it either way, but this is just really nice :')).And Jee being included too 😭😭❤️?? Y'all how am I supposed to take this <33. Oh also I loved seeing Maddie panic over the ring xD. And then panic over getting it off LOL. It was nice to see her just as nervous as Chim though :')). And going back to the proposal, AAHHH it's so cute that she just held it up :'DD. But, yeah, I just- they deserve it <33. There's really nothing else to say :')). I mean there is but you know xDD. Anyway, Maddie was great at her job this episode :). I believe we did see it lol, but even if she didn't, I'm sure she did :)). And Chimney did great at his job too 🥰. I just- aGH!! I love them so much :'DDD 😭😭❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰.

Overall, I really enjoyed this episode! I thought it was great :)). The calls were amazing, and I loved all the different storylines :D. Even if I'm still hoping for Buddie xDD. Relating to Eddie's plot, but also Buck's lol. And I'm so happy everything worked out :')). Mostly with the proposal, but for everything else too I guess :)). Though Buck's didn't really xDD - for him at least. For me, no too bad lol. But seriously, I loved the storylines and the theme was super cute :')). I am terrified for next episode though :). Just so you know :). Seriously xD, I just hope everyone's stuff 😭😭. Anyway, yeah, I thought this episode fit together really well :)). It had a bunch of great moments 🥰🥰.

So yeah! I loved this episode, I thought it was great. I'm scared for the next episode! This has been my review of. . .

9-1-1, Season 6, Episode 17: Love Is in the Air

It was really great! I'm super excited for the next episode, but I'm also very nervous. I'll be back next week for my review of. . .

9-1-1, Season 6, Episode 18: Pay It Forward

See you next week!

[catdadeddie]

WAIT there's been so much Karen&Eddie and Maddie&Eddie bestie-ism BUT Karen&Maddie?? WANT. (They absolutely are 100% both the seems super sweet and nice in public but would get super gossipy with an undercurrent of bitchiness in private! They would have AMAZING girls nights I think I want to be their friend third wheel)

I've always been a Maddie, Eddie and Karen wine night besties truther. I think they should all sit, get drunk and gossip once a week/month.

[mayonnaisetoffees]

My favourite thing about 911 is that in a Pacific Rim AU Drift Compatibility is not at all along romantic lines like the pairs would be

Buck and Eddie (yeah ok romantic because it's my AU but absolutely they still would be if fully platonic)

Hen and Chimney (Karen built the damn jaegers obviously)

Bobby and Michael (because true blended family bestie-ism is being drift compatible with your wife's ex husband)

Also if Daniel survived to adulthood in this AU Maddie was drift compatible with him and hasn't been in a Jaeger since the first time after he died when she and Buck tried and they didn't work together but were compatible enough that Buck got to see and feel Daniel die (:

[no-moremusic]

yeah, hi again. oww

henren/buddie parallels DO NOT need to be pointed out because i will literally start crying/curl up into a ball and scream for hours

anyways, that supports our karen/buck bestie-ism. imagine them having like movie nights where they just rant and cry about how often their partners get hurt

HIII THEYRE THE MOST WLW MLM SOLIDARITY EVER IM OBSESSED i’m also obsessed with how the writers just. love to parallel them. we see you we hear you and we LOVE you

anything that supports karen and buck being best friends i KNOWWW we are 100% down for!! i feel like they’re very similar; they’re both crazy smart, they’re both rocks for their so, and i literally cannot get either of them out of my head. their wine nights must get crazy…. going from talking about astrology to rocket science to “i love hen so much oh my god she’s my best friend” “eddie’s MY best friend” “yea but i’m married to my best friend we’re better!!” “NO IM GONNA PROPOSE RN” “YASSSSSSSSS”
