If you missed the guys on Good Morning America on 5.17.24., I found a video of their interview and performance of "Step By Step." I'll try to find one of "Kids." Enjoy! ❤️🎶

(In My Opinion)

[c0rvidfagg0try]

I know ppl are going to be BEEFING over their opinions on Eddie’s cheating era, but looking at this from a bigger perspective, i find this SO funny, what do u MEAN he’s cheating on his gf of like a couple months with the doppelgänger of his dead wife thats HILARIOUS

what if.. what if buddie and the odycule got together on the same day… what if those episodes aired… back to back…

[dubiousculturalartifact]

Obviously I’ve been queerbaited before, like, a genuinely incalculable number of times, and maybe thinking Buddie might actually go canon is a ‘fool me sixteen times, shame on me’ scenario, but I think one big thing that’s keeping my hope alive is this thought: If you genuinely believe that Buddie isn’t going to go canon, 100% zero possibility and absolutely no intention of trying... Then you also have to believe the people who create the show we’re all fans of are purposefully cruel dicks. 

Because we have SEEN what it looks like when the showrunner of 911 knows there is no possibility of it happening, has no plans of it, and is generally trying to avoid accusations of queerbaiting.

It looks like S5 & S6. Little bits here and there, the odd important scene to throw breadcrumbs… but a lot of keeping the two characters apart, being circumspect in interviews, PR shut downs on the actors, etc. The show has proven they are capable and willing to exactly that!

So indulge me, and imagine for a second. They had the conversation with the new network, and the execs told them they wanted to continue with the status quo, to write as if Buddie is never going to go canon, BUT were willing to bend so far as to make one of them queer, to keep the fans happy.

What would that look like?

I don't know, call me foolish.... But I think it would look like keeping the same dynamic from The Drought Seasons. Having them be friends and important to each other but still fairly disconnected, not having as much screen-time, etc, It would look like having Buck’s coming out arc be a SEPARATE, individual narrative. If they just wanted to write Tommy and Buck, and that's it, they could have done things differently.

There are just so many conceivable ways they could have written Buck’s coming out arc, to almost completely separate it from Eddie and have it be made clear, in no uncertain terms, that Buck is bi but that doesn’t mean he cares about Eddie like that, that Eddie is a hetero McHetero.

Buck’s coming out arc could have included him being jealous because he’s suddenly faced with Tommy in the flesh and is insecure about how he was technically ‘Tommy’s replacement’ at the 911, with Eddie not relevant to it at all, or have Maddie and Chimney be the ones to interrupt The Date, or literally any other scenario that didn’t make it all about Eddie. 

They could have had one short scene where Eddie and Buck talk about it, and then the rest would be like, Buck talking to Hen about being queer, Buck interacting just with Tommy and getting to know him, Buck doing a research binge about bisexuality and info-dumping at an inappropriate time during a call, etc etc etc.

That’s how you tell that story and only be writing it for the proverbial ‘general audience’.

But they didn't. They purposefully reversed direction. They chose for Buck’s coming out arc to... highlight his nigh-feral jealousy over Eddie forming a homosocial bond with another guy, having said guy repeat with genuine surprise and shock that it was him and not Eddie that Buck was interested in, have Eddie interrupt their date, have Buck be more worried about lying to Eddie than the fact that he’s queer at all, have Maddie say what she did to Buck about telling Eddie in specifically ambiguous terms…

In a season that also included the Fire Extinguisher Incident, and Buck saying he ‘wishes he could help’ with Eddie’s sexual frustration, and a big increase in social media engagement, and having Buck being Eddie’s rock in the last few episodes while he had a bizarrely platonic affair with his dead wife's doppleganger…

If they did that while KNOWING the plan was actually for Buck/Tommy endgame and Eddie riding off in the sunset with a hot female firefighter who has a cool motorcycle or whatever the fuck, or them both dying in a freak car-washing accident, or….

If they GENUINELY planned that? If the entire Buck jealousy plotline was intended to be nothing more than a deliberate queerbait-and-switch? Then they’re fucking assholes, sorry. They would have to know full well exactly what they were doing, how many people’s hopes and emotional investment they were toying with... If they were actually planning to keep dragging it along for seasons more of baiting and dangling things in front of us, while knowing categorically that they had no plans to deliver? That would be genuinely GOD TIER levels of specific, intentional queerbaiting.

Which could be the case! I won't deny that. Shows have done it before, plenty of times. Tim et al could be callous bastards deliberately instructing the actors to wink it up in interviews and share suggestive Tiktoks, and writing Buck’s coming out arc as being entirely focused around Eddie and throwing out hints... All while laughing behind Buddie fans' backs about our gullibility, how we’re keeping the show trending on the force of our delusions, etc. Maybe that's it! Maybe they just genuinely enjoying fucking with people. Or maybe they were just shitty enough writers that they didn't know what they were doing, and it was all a total accident, somehow, the proverbial monkeys pounding at keyboards and accidentally spelling out B U D D I...

But you know what? Call it naive, but I prefer to think they’re not huge assholes, or hugely incompetent.

That there might actually be a point to all this, somewhere down the line.

I guess we'll find out.

me every new season of 9-1-1 when the opening disaster is increasingly more farfetched, outlandish and ridiculous but also increasingly some of the best television i've ever seen in my life

Don Johnson, a mainstay in entertainment for over five decades, has graced our screens in iconic TV shows like Miami Vice and Nash Bridges. He's shared the screen with Hollywood heavyweights like Kevin Costner, appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, and even worked with the legendary Sidney Lumet, always with a keen eye for collaborating with the best in the business.

So, when it came to his latest project, Doctor Odyssey, Johnson knew he was in good hands. Produced and co-created by the prolific Ryan Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story, Nip/Tuck, 911), the series has already found a loyal audience. Johnson has high praise for the TV mogul.

Doctor Odyssey airs Thursday nights at 9/8c on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.

sometimes i forget that i have curated the perfect 911 fandom circle of lesbians and weirdos on here, and every time i leave that circle i am hit with so much psychic damage that it kills me and kills me and kills me and kills me

[sockhatingsapphic]

also one more thing about these firefighters before i go to sleep. well actually not at all about these firefighters. bc this season has been so enjoyable as a show (though why is it only ten episodes??? i thought we usually got more? is this bc of abc?), but it has truly turned some parts of the fandom so sour. i thought we were above ship wars in 2024 😭! personally i am a multi shipper for the first time in my life. bucktommy is good! buddie is good! the hatred people seem to have for each other is not good! people are labeling other ship fans and making LOTS of assumptions (i, for one, have been watching this show since i started college and will be a senior in the fall) and being so mean about the actors and “chemistry”. listen. buck and tommy have chemistry. so do buck and eddie. oliver has chemistry with both lou and ryan! i’ve seen people on both sides of this ship war post pictures of oliver happy with one guy and then “sad” with another as if there are no other pictures of him clearly quite happy with BOTH GUYS. i came on tumblr excited to talk about the episode and see it trending but instead everyone’s using body language pseudoscience to figure out who’s endgame and who secretly hates each other. smh
