#bathena mention

[whateverthedragonswant]

Madney, Bathena, and Henren are all made for each other. LOVED this episode, right down to the equal partnerships being shown between the rings and flowers props.

So Natalia walked out on Buck after finding out about the baby. Kameron and Connor are having issues. I knew it. This baby is coming into Buck's life in a big way. And even though he tried to keep Natalia from leaving, he didn't turn Kameron away.

Then Eddie sees Marisol again, a woman he met at an emergency, something he just told Buck a couple of episodes ago that wasn't a good thing. Though this time, Eddie is the one who got an injury on his hand (from his attempts at trying to meet women) before he saw this woman again. Even though he appears to be attracted to her, supposedly having his moment, he still leaves without saying another word.

And the universe and signs are mentioned AGAIN.

In the episode where all of the canon romantic couples are having their lovey-dovey moments, we have Buck seeing an ex-flame on TV (selling her story, shocker, who didn't see that one coming) while with Natalia, and an ex-fling? ex-kiss? while out with Natalia. Neither of those situations or anything else he tells her scares her away. The baby does. A baby that has been hinted at Buck wanting very badly (aka being a dad/having a family) all season. And instead of Kameron eating the pickles, Buck sits on the couch eating them while looking up to where she's asleep. In this same episode, we learn that Pepa is setting Eddie up on dates because he won't do it himself. When he does take the initiative, it doesn't go well no matter the situation or circumstances. He also gets splashed with coffee (think 4x06 Jinx with Ana getting injured by spilled coffee & Buck burning his tongue with coffee). Then he sees a woman he met once and he and Buck helped her fix her house together. And instead of asking her out or asking for her number, he acts all twitterpated and leaves. Where he earlier talked to Bobby about wanting to find what he had with Shannon, which we found out last episode wasn't this big romance that it was all cracked up to be.

I mean, it's pretty obvious here that these two characters aren't real love interests. If they decided to have either guy pursue a relationship with either woman, it doesn't bode well. Especially for Buck and Natalia. Unless she's ready to be a mom (or create a family), she and Buck are on very different paths. (to be fair to her, she just met the guy but you get what I'm saying)

This is all very telling, I think. Especially when you have Madney, Bathena, and Henren being set up as the contrasts (the successful love relationships) to Eddie's and Buck's single exploits in this episode. Even Ella and her husband as well as the bride and groom who reconnected after so much time had passed. And then you also have the beginning emergency where the fiancee lies to her boyfriend and accepts his proposal and pretty much plans to do the same to him that Tatiana did to Chim. When Chim is going through it this episode (and last).

This episode couldn't be louder.

I'm not going anywhere.

They need to let Bobby talk more like a midwestern dad. I want him to ask the firefam "jeet yet?" and for them to go "what" I want him to have the pop vs. soda argument with Hen I want him to say "ope" when he accidentally runs into Chim during a call I want him to teach Buck how to make the various non-lettuce salads I want him to talk about false springs to a bewildered Eddie I want him to say "yeah no yeah" and "no yeah no" and all other combos of it while the team keeps a tally of each I want him to mention how he's grilled while it was snowing before I want him to be so Minnesotan Dad and for Athena to just adore it all

9-1-1 ▸ 2.06 dosed || 7.09 ashes, ashes

[morganski-19]

They have set themselves up for a perfect parallel if Buck is the one actually getting kidnapped in spring premier instead of Maddie.

Let me set the stage, Eddie is in Texas doing some final views and meetings for the house he wants to buy. He's not in LA when Buck initially goes missing.

The 118 are on a 48 off, and considering that Buck has been actively and loudly avoiding his phone and they all have their own problems to deal with, they wouldn't necessarily notice if he had gone missing. It wouldn't be until Buck didn't show up to his shift that anyone would notice what went wrong.

However, there is one person that might notice, but can't do anything because he's in Texas. And I think that fact that they very clearly showed Eddie's call history, and that he has no missed calls with Buck (while Buck is avoiding his phone), means that he would notice if Buck missed his phone call.

So Eddie gets a sign that something is wrong with Buck and can't either contact anyone about it, or they all brush it off.

You know when that has happened before?

When the 911 dispatch center was taken hostage and no one believed initially believed Chim that something was wrong.

When the cruise ship was in danger and no one initially believed Hen that something was wrong?

Like, it's happened before, it will happen again.

how sleeping tonight feels being a buddie and madney stan

So I just watched 9-1-1 1x01 again, and...

This is Bobby and Athena the first time they're seen together on screen.

Athena is pissed because Buck refuses to let a kid on the same ambulance as her newborn because she threw him down the toilet. And Bobby is upset because he sent Buck ahead so he could get the newborn to the ambulance quicker and he comes down and finds out they're still there. So basically, the first time we see them, Athena is trying to save someone and Bobby is worried because that baby needs a hospital and the ambulance is just sitting there.

So he takes it into his own hands. He ignores Athena and Buck screaming at each other and just picks the girl up and carries her into the ambulance.

And then this happens:

FIRST TIME we see them on screen. Literally the first time they partake on the same scene. And don't forget, tensions are running high. Like, up until this point? They've only heard each other shout. Not a each other, but still.

Like, it's such a tiny detail, not many people are going to pick up on it, but I find it so cool and endearing. Here you have a character that we know it's closed off to people and who probably has something heavy in his past being supported by a character who (by what we've seen up to now) is assertive and empowering.

I'm not going to say foreshadowing or anything, because anything is possible. But what an acting choice. Kudos to Angela Bassett.

[guac-da-human5]

Okay just realized smth that’s probably stupid and just a coincidence haha but I’ve been reading a bunch of buddie posts (aka feeding my delusions aka coping) but the entire 118 is paired off (except for Ravi ofc) as a couple who’ve kinda coparented or adopted kids at one point.

Buddie um yeah very obviously Buck coparents with Eddie for Christopher.

But then also Chimney and Maddie at one point coparented Jee after their split (which they got back together bc it’s Madney and yeah).

Then HenRen, where Denny is I guess technically Hen’s kid bc yk the situation with Ava. But Karen chooses to adopt and raise Denny with Hen cuz love!!!! And they become a family.

And then Bathena where Athena splits with Michael and then Bobby comes in and basically adopts Athena’s kids as his own and becomes a family.

Like. There’s a billion ways two ppl can be besties and just besties only. But coparenting? Like this? Being each other’s rocks, guiding the kid together and both being that kid’s rock, and the kid having EQUAL care and attention from both ppl? Dude.

And I’m not saying that coparenting can never be platonic or that it doesn’t work if the parents are split or that it will never last and the partners will have to get together eventually. I’m not saying that. But in the context of this show. Come on man.

(So sorry for the long ass rant which continues in the tags but I need to get this out 🥸)

[ebenelephant]

every single relationship within the main cast is so ride or die I love it

[dawntainbobbynash]

Well, the next time you’re out there running through the world, you should invite me along.

[makorragal-312]

Wow, this episode is REALLY focused on relationships, huh?

[disaster-j]

911 S8E1 Speculation

(This is stuff I think is likely to be in the first episode)

A Mara-centric scene likely with all four Han-Wilson parents

Athena getting a phone call about either the guy who killed her fiance or someone else related to that case

Maddie Han mention

Bobby complains to Athena about Hot Shots

Buck complains to Tommy about Gerard

Some joke about the 'stache

All the scenes in the trailer except plane collision happen in ep1

Musing on the cruise explosion

Call me insane but I really want Bobby to be the one that causes the explosion. Accidentally, of course. Just, Bathena on the case to thwart the evil pirates and save the innocents. Bobby saying he'll create a distraction and running off, not seeing the side eye Athena sends his way. He's a firefighter, after all. They shut engines and motors down all the time so they can rescue people. So he shuts down the big ships engine, but he misses something vital. Letting pressure release or something, and it causes the explosion. And Bobby's like... "Oops. My bad" (as the ship is slowly rolling onto its side).

Chaos Bobby is the captain of the 118 after all. Who do you think taught them all their ways? Then after it's all over we get some delicious guilt and angst on his part for sinking a god-damned cruise ship and causing yet more deaths and maybe some lingering trauma / throwback to his first big loss... please. Give us the throwbacks for all of them! Those who've read my fic know that I adore lil nuggets of humour amidst my angst and whump and dammit I want that in this emergency too! Reblog if you agree!

FRIENDLY REMINDER !

just because someone creates a theory and they end up being wrong …. does not mean they are gaslighting! theories are fun! and silly! you do not need to attack someone if they end up being incorrect!

and also!!

you are allowed to ship whatever ship you want long as it isn’t inappropriate/problematic (ex: pedophilia, incest, teacher/student, canon gay character with girl / canon lesbian character with boy, etc)

ships are meant to be fun and just something you get excited over, make silly little head-canons etc etc

this could go for absolutely any fandom ever but i am specifically talking about 911 because Wow the amount of hate i have seen is crazy when it is really so easy to not be a dick! hope this helps <3)

[theclaravoyant]

that trope where you just had an argument with someone and then something bad happens to them and it might be the last thing you ever get to say - but on steroids because the argument you just had was about how you’re basically so worried it’s circled back around to being pissed off that the love of your life kinda wants to kill himself and now he might actually die (and it’s not even from that!)
