Buddie: The Bachelor Party was their second official date!

Still Here!

Buck and Eddie's second date.

Buck and Eddie had a blast when they partied like it was 1999 in 7x6!

Be clear, Buck and Eddie have had many dates in CANON but the majority of them happened at the loft or at Eddie's house while they were spending family time with Chris and when Buck took his husband Eddie and their son Chris to Equine Therapy in 5x14.

However, the truth is they've had two official dates where they went out and it was just the two of them; one was in 6x13 when they went to the Poker Game (related posts linked here and here) and the second one was in 7x6 after Chimney didn't show up for the bachelor party (video above).

Reminder, in 6x17, Buck told Eddie he sucked at dating (related post linked here) but the truth is they only suck at dating when they date other people, i.e., Buck when he dates/dated Abby, Ali, Taylor, Natalia and now T*mmy; and Eddie when he dated Ana, Marisol and Kim (Shannon is not included because they never really dated since they met in high school and got married after he got her pregnant).

Buck and Eddie's dates go very well when they date each other.

We Buddie shippers were robbed of the karaoke scene (clip of it linked here) but from the few snippets that were included in 7x6, it's easy to see Buck and Eddie were having the time of their lives together. They were sitting on top of each other like they always do and they were pressed together from their shoulders to their knees.

Furthermore, they share EMOTIONAL AND ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY that's filled with SEXUAL TENSION and it's unmatched by any interactions they've had with any of their previous love interests.

The kitchen scene proved that and neither of them took off a piece of clothing but it was the hottest f~cking scene in the history of 9-1-1. Also, please note, it didn't include any "daddy kink jokes" because they weren't needed👀!

All they have to do is look at each other and nothing else matters.

Buck has only flirted and pursued Eddie Diaz and HE'S NEVER CONFUSED WHEN HE DOES IT (post linked here)! After looking at the totality of their interactions in CANON, a person would have to be totally oblivious, in denial, blind or actively choosing to misunderstand that Buck and Eddie are in love with each other. They're the love of each other's lives and NO ONE, including T*mmy Kinard will EVER BE ABLE TO COMPARE OR COMPETE!

When Buck and Eddie go CANON, they'll be the sexiest, hottest and most IN LOVE relationship either of them have ever had and it's going to be magnificent!

I ONLY SHIP BUDDIE!

Hey !

I just found this cute prompt : "It sure does, cowboy. And sharin' this moment with you makes it all the more special. I don't wanna be anywhere else but right here, by your side." can you do this with my dear Terry, pretty please ?

You fall in love with Terry around a campfire under the stars in Montana.

You'd been coming to the ranch for months with your niece as part of the Equine Therapy Program recommended by her therapist. You had watched him from afar for weeks, always hovering as he worked alongside of her, talking and brushing down Baulderdash the Pony.

He got that you were protective, who wouldn't be after someone you loved had been hurt in such a way, especially by their own family members.

There were rumours around town that he used to be a cop back in New York before he'd purchased the Ranch and set up his business supporting people with PTSD and sexual assault survivors through equine therapy. Each of his counsellors including himself were highly recommended.

He's seen some shit. You can tell by the way he talks sometimes. Occasionally when Amelie is out on a ride with one of the other counsellors the two of you share a coffee on one of the benches outside. He's warm and amicable, he describes what your niece is going through as a process, he praises both if your resilience. He knows coming to terms with shit isnt easy.

He's the first person you admit your guilt to. You hadn't realised what was happening until it Amelie has ended up in the hospital. You had never realised that your sister was capable of such things. He's a good listener and you like that about him.

Truthfully there's a lot you like about him. You havent been with a man for a long time and the way he wears his plaid shirts, tucked into his jeans. It does something to you.

It's on the kids camping trip that you realise you've caught feelings. You see the way he interacts with them, teaching them how to put marshmallows on a stick, strumming his guitar as he breaks into song with gusto. The kids love it and when he looks up at you with that smile on his face, you realise you do too.

Part 9 of the Buddie Development

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 | part 9 | part 10

booooo!!! too little interactions this season

S5:E1 Panic

the episode title says it, but i can’t get over Eddie having a hetero panic 😂😂 someone refered to Anna as Chris’ mom and Eddie passed out 😃👍 I feel like a still don’t understand it in it’s fullest but part of it i believe is the pressure he feels from his culture to look for a new partner that is going to be forever. Or how he didn’t feel a deep connection with Anna and he’s regretting introducing her to Christopher’s life since that is what makes it extra serious.

Buck and Eddie sort of discuss his panic attack but Eddie doesn’t want to talk about it :/

S5:E2 Desperate times

Eddie is so weird about his relationship with Anna. he just looks like he’s at camp and desperetly wants to call his mom to pick him up.

S5:E6 Brawl in Cell Block 911

it’s redundant but Buck will always run like hell when he sees Eddie in danger, like when he heard the gunshot outside the hospital and tjought Eddie had been shot, he didn’t care that the prisioner was still armed, he needed to see him.

S5:E13 Fear-o-phobia

Eddie is really struggling with the PTSD and after hearing that all of his team from the army have died he spirals, really scaring Christopher. So Chris calls Buck to help Eddie calm down. And he does, Eddie opens up about everything.

S5:E14 Dumb Luck

Buck gets Christopher a slot to do equine therapy and also takes Eddie to visit Charlie, a boy that he saved the day he got shot. He’s just always looking out for them and it feels like such a partner and co-parent thing.

that was practically it for season 5, i don’t know if i missed some things but i feel like it was less interaction than any other season ☹️ granted we had a lot of backstories of other characters and this was just mainly about building their friendship and not so much about altering the dynamic, if you noticed other things or know more about Eddie and Anna’s relationship i would love to hear it!

[strangenewwords]

Oh hi! So when you have the spoons would you like to tell us about your Morgan? What was its name? How old were you when you met said horse? How did it come to be yours? Fondest memory? Did it have any personality quirks? I’m so curious!

HA! This is a low spoon question - which is great because this time of year I think we're all lower spooned. At least in this hemisphere, because holidays are rough and less sun and well that's another post entirely.

Her name was Roanoke (Dare County NC, Not VA because Blackbeard and the graveyard of the Atlantic and I'm weird). She was a rescue who had been abused and neglected. I was wow, um, early twenties? Didn't have her for more than about 5 years (and gave up on horses altogether). She was kinda awful? Lol. Because of everything she'd been through. Fondest memory is kinda not so fond, but she used to try and unseat me all the time. Like, ride me under low trees etc. So we had to do a lot of work until she was okay with me. But it was super worth it. I liked her attitude though. Also how she smelled. Nothing is better than that alfalfa fresh hay clean horse smell. Except maybe how happy cows smell. Which is really weird to type out but it like makes me relax all over. Also also when she got weight on her. Just random happy thoughts like that.

I've thought about trying to do equine assisted therapy, because there's been SO many studies on how human brains respond to equine interaction, like it lights up in all sorts of different ways. But I haven't figured out how to a - afford it, or b - if I want to do the legality stuff.

[lover-of-mine]

Okay, so, I made this buddie framing meta a few days ago but it actually got me thinking about something else, so I'm gonna type it out.

You know, they actually kinda made a point to make us think about the dumb luck conversation at the equine therapy place with the cemetery scene in death and taxes. It's a different location, it's "outside", the outfits are similar but in different color schemes, and they are framed similarly but they give off different vibes.

Eddie in dumb luck is all about accepting help, finding hope, and all that, and the talk they have is framed in a very interesting way. For starters, they are not centered in the wider angles.

That's interesting alone, the conversation is about Eddie and getting him to find reason in life and all that, and Buck is trying really hard to be there for Eddie, to see Eddie's side and Eddie is letting him.

But the thing that gets me here is they are facing each other, they are talking, but they are always on the same side of the screen. That's a very interesting choice. They are talking, they are on the same side, they are fixing the problem. This conversation has the point of getting their friendship back on track, with them opening up about issues. (I say this because of the way Eddie left without talking it out with Buck and the whole Eddie pretending he was fine even though he was definitely not that starts to get resolved with the ending of fear-o-fobia and it's really resolved here)

And the thing is, it works, we see a lot of casual friendship moments between the two of them after that, something that was not gone, but reduced considering the shared trauma of the shooting. We have Buck gravitating to Eddie in the hospital on mayday, we have them chilling in Chris' room in hero complex, fixing the walls, Buck cooking them dinner, them referencing things they told each other, you catch my drift, we get a lot of them outside the firehouse. Until death and taxes.

The thing here is about Buck dealing with his trauma about dying, but while dumb luck brings them together in it, this scene actually pulls them apart. Again they are off-center in the frame, but they are on different sides, they also switched sides, yk, Buck is the one who needs reassurance this time and their positions are flipped.

But this time they are on different sides of the frame. Another thing is they don't face each other a lot. And considering Buck is talking about being seen and how is Eddie usually looking at Buck in some capacity all the time, it's interesting that this is not happening here.

They pretty much never look at each other at the same time, and they do show them looking at each other, is off-center and on different sides and they don't really look at each other for that long. This conversation creates a gap between them.

I think this particular conversation has a lot of layers, and it's interesting for a multitude of reasons because I think that what Eddie gets from what Buck is saying is that he doesn't see Buck in the way Buck wants to be seen and after this conversation, we stopped getting the casual friendship moments outside the clock. In 6x16, 17, and 18 we only see them interact in the firehouse or in calls, we don't even see them interact in the hospital after the bridge.

I know a few people have been talking about the similarities between season 4 and season 6 and I think that comparison is interesting here because of the way the shooting created a gap between them, that they had bridged but it's now there again.

I don't know if this makes a lot of sense, but I do know I want a mirror of the dumb luck conversation in season 7.

(please dont judge the quality of the gifs i made them just for illustrations purposes, no thoughts just vibes 🫶)

Restoring the Roots (Joel Miller x Therapist! reader) Chapter 3 Preview

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

A little sneak peak of chapter 3, basically a whole lotta reader thirsting over our grumpy old man :) As always, thank you for your support and interest with this little story of mine.

Understanding the nature of the situation, and Joel’s obvious discomfort in seeking out help, you tried to make the consultation as stress free as possible, allowing him to speak first and share his thoughts about therapy. He wasn’t as hostile or cold as you anticipated, rather he shared that sense of being lost and displaced, much like your other clients who were struggling. His southern charm supplemented that as well, with his politeness overshadowing his contention towards therapy. For a second you thought he was going to disintegrate on the spot when he realized he had cursed in front of you and apologized profusely. It was charming as hell and really fucking endearing.

You tried your best to sympathize with his concerns him and validate his feelings, but fuck it was hard to concentrate. You couldn’t stop focusing on how much room he took up on the seemingly large sofa. His broad shoulders were still concealed by his coat but you didn’t miss how he sat with his legs spread open, easily dwarfing the couch that could normally seat three people. He also spoke with his hands, you noticed. A lot. You surmised it was the nerves, but again, you could get pretty animated with your hands when talking about something that excited you. You bit the inside of your cheek as you struggled to maintain his gaze and ignore how large they were, calloused from hard labour, how thick and long his fingers were. 

By some miracle you managed to make it through the entire conversation without gawking incessantly and fumbling your words, even when it felt like your brain was functioning faster than your mouth. Your passion getting the better of you.

Despite what Tommy told you, Joel was sweet, albeit reserved, but that wasn’t very different from other first time clients you met. You appreciated his honesty and apprehension. His perception of therapy didn’t surprise you in the least, If you were being honest. It only made you more excited at the prospect of working with him, and showing him the power of equine assisted therapy. He did seem to light up when you mentioned how the therapy worked and the interactions with the horses. You took that as a good sign. If he was already an animal lover it would make the transition to working with horses in a close proximity much easier. While equine therapy was indeed effective, it was a much longer process when your clients were not used to working with horses or were downright terrified of them.

Apologies if I missed anyone! I will include everyone in the full chapter posting

[4ft10tvlandfangirl]

I'm a week late on 9-1-1 so I just watched 6x15 and 6x16 together. Kind of glad I got the news of the abc move first because now the hopeful feeling I always have during the buddie scenes was turned up a notch. I'm legit excited.

Eddie and Chris having a graveside conversation then Buck and Eddie doing the same thing was interesting. We've never seen them visit Shannon's grave before & while I know processing death and moving on from it was the point here, Eddie being apart of both convos is important. Like how he deals with death/will deal with it is important.

Chris obviously misses his mom but Eddie does too despite the difficulties he and Shannon had. She was a part of his life, will always be Christopher's mother, so it's still good to see him mourn her loss. Now Marie is no one to Buck or Eddie but she affected them both in their brief interaction. For Eddie she highlighted something he is clearly concerned about, dying alone. For Buck, he respected the ease with which she confronted her death (with help from Natalia who is lovely & I genuinely like her). Buck still doesn't know how to deal with his death but he seems to want to choose the positive way.

"From here on out, it's all a gift."

I'm not upset about the 'she really sees me' line. Eddie's immediate side eye and expression was worth it imo 😅

I don't feel like it was romantic either. This is a stranger who has no connection to Buck. When they talk about his death it feels purely from a fascination & wanting to understand perspective. Not the heavy, "You died Buck." (we almost lost you) that he hears when his sister or Bobby or Eddie says it. Buck wants to process it all without the weight of that I think and that's why talking to Natalia about it is so appealing to him.

Buck and Eddie wearing similar earthy tones throughout the episode and looking very complimentary had me feeling like Tía Pepa somewhere saying, "You two are still dressing alike I see..." 👀

Also! Buck is wearing a similar plaid jacket to the one he wore in 5x14 when he introduced Eddie to equine therapy and they had that first meaningful talk about the shooting & second chances at life.

They were wearing complimentary shades then too. In both instances talking about the 'after' of a near death experience and what it all means. Buck in each instance seemed to be the more positive while Eddie was quietly reflective. Although, Eddie is in a much better place now because he was being positive too.

I love that he reaffirmed what seems to be the prevailing idea between them this season; 'you don't have to put on a show/act or pretend for me anybody'. 👀👀👀

We got another shout out to the universe in all her glory when the picture of Shannon fell off the fridge. Like unprovoked, it was perfectly fine there all along and then it just fell? Talk about a SIGN.

Last but not least, the couch of it all! Chris falling asleep in almost exactly the same way Buck had right after Eddie went to go get something for them from the kitchen?

Yeah...these parallels are not even subtle. I can't be normal about any of these scenes at all and I refuse to be! Straight clowning but with renewed hope. Thanks abc 😅

You know what's interesting and please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm trying to remember the pattern..

But Eddie's first panic attack (though not obvious) was with a Buck look alike next to Buck then he like grabs his shoulder and grounds himself.

Then full on goes down when someone assumes Anna is his wife in the suit store.

Then the third time is in front of Buck.

I really hope they address this if/when they go Canon because if he's working through repressed feelings that's like tragic sad. The first was related to Buck but pulled himself together because of Buck. The second his anchor isn't there (and he can't see Chris) so he just looses it. But the third if this is a repressed man he must have felt so much sadness but also guilt because it was in front of Buck whom he loves.

Because it's clear in that moment Anna and Buck don't have alot interaction. She's never even been there. Buck says thought it was going great meaning Eddie was probably like oh fine after he picks Chris up after a date ext. He probably doesn't really ever confront the 2 of them together in one place

I just hope we get more of Eddie's trauma therapy next season because I always felt like he was walking 2 different therapy paths. His PTSD side vs his sexuality side.

Hi Nonnie! :D You’re very close! The first one was in the store with Ana. No Buck around, full panic attack. Second one was on the call, Eddie started to go into an attack, but managed to snap out of it, when Buck was in his vicinity but not in his direct line of sight, and he touches Buck’s shoulder after the worst of it is over, then the last one is when they’re having a personal conversation with Ana, Chris and Ravi being there, being off call Buck is fully present and Eddie runs away from Ana before he really starts having the attack, he just has the preliminary signs and he flees.

My personal guess would be that the pattern is Buck being a calming influence on Eddie. I’m not sure they will address the panic attacks specifically if Buddie goes canon, but I do think that if they do, then no matter what, the show will acknowledge that Buck does have this effect on Eddie, it’s especially undeniable after 513 and 514, when Buck is the one who helps Eddie calm down after his breakdown, gets him to properly talk (even with the breakdown, Eddie could have shut down and not shared anything with Buck) and of course showing him Charlie at the equine therapy session, where you can clearly see that for the first time since the start of the season, Eddie feels real hope that things can be better for him. That’s Buck’s doing.

There’s more than one way to write Buddie going canon. I do think the ‘repressed Eddie’ storyline can make a lot of sense and be wonderful to explore. There’s also other possibilities, like ‘I never fell for anyone before you, I wasn’t repressing my feelings, I fully felt then, I just didn’t understand what they meant.’ And I might be a bit partial to that one ‘coz that was my own story as a young queer, falling in love for the first time. But whatever path the show takes, I’m here for it, and I know 911 will Buddie going canon justice! ;)

I hope I managed to answer this, and that you have a great day, lovely! And here is my ask tag! xoxox

Walker 3.04

I loved this ep.

I say this with love but sometimes the cases on this show feel like afterthoughts but not in this episode, here it really feels like they put some focus into it. The case itself isn't that impressive, it's a group that's stealing horses and releasing them but it was pretty well executed and mostly a lot of fun because it's Trey's sort of first case, it's his test case before officially becoming a Ranger. And Captain James lets him take lead!

So, we get to see Trey out in the field as a Ranger but also see him interact with Cassie, Cordell, and Captain James in a work setting, and it's very entertaining to see their friendship and dynamic in that type of space. The four of them work very well together, and I would love to see more of them working as a group. There's also a really fun chase scene, which was probably my favorite moment of the ep, because one of the bad guys takes off in an ATV but Trey chases after him in a horse (hell yeah cowboy!Trey 🤠) and Cordell, Cassie, and James go by car. It's just really cool to see Trey on the horse on one side and the car on the other.

On the family side of things, there's Stella who is feeling lost and has no clue what she's going to do with her life now that she's no longer going to college and is having to work at the Side Step by decision of her father, August who is angry at Stella because he thought that with her going off to college he would finally get the attention and focus of the family, and Liam who is going to equine therapy and it's working great except when he's finally making progress his therapist tells him she's moving her practice. Listen, finding a therapist who you feel safe and comfortable with and with whom you're making progress is difficult losing said therapist after you're finally getting better, is a bitch. As someone who is extremely picky about doctors, I feel his pain.

The end of the ep gives us two really nice family moments, and it sets something really cute up. Because he sees how well equine therapy has been working for Liam, Cordell decides to get him some horses to act as therapy animals for him, and that gives Liam the idea to open up a horse rescue that offers therapy programs and it would be called Walker Rescues and I just love that idea so much, I think it's really cute, it gives characters like Stella and Liam something to do and if executed properly it would be a really nice storyline.

The second nice moment is when Stella makes peace with August by teaching him to drive stick. It's just really nice and sweet on her part.

And then on Cordell's mental health side of things. He's still getting flashbacks and in denial about the fact that he is not, in fact, okay.

"Do you think Cozy Glow should have deserve a 100 spankings in the plot for insulting Flurry Heart?"

Oh no, Daeling, I would think she deserves to be incarcerated in a mental institution and forced to endure therapy with Ms Starlight until she can be deemed fit to rejoin society. This having nothing to do with the interaction between Flurry and her adult self and everything to do with her sociopathy and attempting to banish all magic from Equestria because she doesn't understand equine emotions as a filly.

But I guess spanking her as an adult is more satisfying for you?
