#albert can't go to buck but with eddbert we'd still get the buckley-han-diaz family so thats a win

the thing about the love interests is that ultimately (like tim has said before re: LS) when you're writing a show about first responders it's hard to include anyone who ISN'T a first responder in a really substantial way because it's just. not the nature of the show. the only (adult) regular to not be a FR in six seasons was michael and even then the personal plots that were "his" (coming out, getting cancer, etc) were mostly about how they impacted athena and bobby and the grant-nash family dynamic as a whole (and I would argue that the writers have even been struggling to incorporate dispatch into the action over the past couple seasons too). so if we want love interests that have the potential to be multi-faceted with their own significant storylines then they need to be FRs as well. and that's why luck 🍀 can should must and will win thank you for coming to my ted talk

you're so fucking right and this is literally the exact reason why I wrote luck truthers (population: britt) were the only ones right all along I just didn't explain my train of thought
