Buddie 617 meta

I’m gonna be honest here, this was one of the funniest 911 eps to me. I loved how this ep showed us both Buck and Eddie completely sucking at dating. It was very obvious in Buck’s case, what with each attempt to have quality time with Natalia being ruined by one of his past decisions, but then when he called out Eddie for also sucking at it, Buck wasn’t wrong. Eddie’s attempts seem half-hearted at best. First off, if he really wanted to date, then Tia Pepa’s help and dating apps are actually not that awful as options. Magic might happen there as well. The right person could even stand out more against a sea of not so great choices, turning the dreary experience into a colorful, magical one. But even when Eddie tries on his own, his attempts are LAME. Seriously, there are pastime activities that offer way more potential to start a conversation, and maybe a romance, than the ones Eddie chose. Not only that, these are not his actual hobbies, where he knows he’ll find someone who likes the same thing he does (the way he shares so much with one tall firefighter that we’re all thinking of right now. Eddie’s also being dumb about wanting it to “just happen” as if that’s not exactly what he got with buck. Also, just a friendly reminder that Buddie have been dating for almost 5 years, and they are GREAT at it when it’s with each other).

On top of that, we for real got a guy checking Eddie out (hi, hello, should I start a collection of him checking and being checked out by guys?) as well as him witnessing a woman he was looking at being embraced by another one. Why the hints at being surrounded by queer people? Your guess is as good as mine, but I’m here for it no matter what. ;D Now, I’ve talked before about the ongoing theme of Buddie’s dating life being intertwined in terms of when they start dating someone, or of why they break up, but now in addition to them dating at the same time, we also see them simultaneously sucking at it? Yeah, that takes the connectedness of their dating life up a notch. ~~

Which brings me to one line that grabbed my attention in this ep. THE line that offers the explicit resolution for the most important romantic plot here is the one from Gina, the insurance lady, to Chimney, about not regretting the attempt. Yes, even when the result is bad. That’s what Madney will embrace. One of the biggest obstacles to Buck and Eddie, besides their obliviousness, is the fear of ruining the good thing they have by attempting to take it to the next level. But here we have Chimney being reminded by Gina that it’s worth it, to try. Because the good thing you can have, if it works out? Is worth it. And you never have to live with the “what if” of it all. Now look at Buck and Eddie being once more adorable morons together on the job! Imagine the moment when they stop running around and let themselves try taking it to the next level, because they realize no matter what the result will be, they would never regret the attempt. ~~

Speaking of Buddie paralleling one of the canon couples on the show who were acting lovey dovey in this ep, the way Bobby described what made him and Athena happen reminded me of Buddie connecting. In both cases, there’s an intense and upsetting call, after which one of our first responders turns to find support (Buddie promising to have each other’s back) and comfort (Eddie wants to go grab something to eat together) in the other one. ~~

I did not miss Taylor Kelly, and true to form, she was back because she’s advancing her career by exploiting her personal connection to Buck and the exposure to the 118 it provided her. I’m pretty sure this basically buries any option of any showrunner ever trying to re-set these two as a romance, since it echoed and reinforced Buck’s decision to break up with her. It WAS funny to see her and Lucy cockblock Buck (I do think Lucy’s tone with which she spoke of their past also closes the door on anyone ever trying to set her and Buck up as a serious couple), but what I found to be funniest is that Buck tells Natalia he was trying to figure out the perfect place for their date, and then he took her to the bar where he kissed Lucy. A bar reminiscent of the one where he hooked up with Taylor. Possibly a spot where he hooked with other women during his Buck 1.0 stage based on how it’s THE hang out place for the 118 and we know Buck had no issues hooking up anywhere back then. Natalia, hon. This is not a good sign for your r/s with him. ~~

Speaking of which, there’s an ex who didn’t come back in this ep, but her spirit loomed large over Buck and Natalia IMO, and that is Ali. The reason why she and Buck broke up after 218 is because at the end of the day, she couldn’t accept the choices he had made in his professional life (hoping he would move on from firefighting). In the same way, Natalia revealed in this ep that she can’t accept Buck’s choices in his personal life. A small reminder the only partner we’ve ever witnessed truly seeing and accepting Buck, in every aspect of his life, has been Eddie. ~~

Another funny thing about this (911 is a comedy, y’all) is how Natalia flees the second she comes across Kameron. I mean, this is in addition to the hilarity of the death doula’s first name connecting her to birth and to all things natal, yet she flees the second that she sees a pregnant lady. Because if this is Natalia’s reaction when it comes to a bio kid that Buck explicitly said he is not going to raise, what would she do once she realizes he co-parents a fully grown kid? (and a very sassy one, too. LBR, Natalia doesn’t stand a chance in a show down with either Diaz boy) ~~

Much like Natalia doesn’t seem like the right fit for Buck based on this ep (or based on 616), neither does Marisol. Can I point out the fact that Eddie’s disapproval in the last ep of Buck dating Natalia applies here, too? They both met these women on calls. Second, Eddie wanted it to happen naturally, which is why it’s so lame he tried through all sorts of activities that he’s not ACTUALLY into and wouldn’t continue doing past the initial stage of meeting someone else. And that holds true for Marisol as well. We saw that her brother and her are very into DYI, which I guess was meant to lay the groundwork for Eddie running into her in a DYI shop. But the thing is, Eddie himself isn’t into this! Sure, he can do it, because as a single dad he’s had to, but it’s not something we’ve ever seen him being passionate about. He’s only at this store because of Christopher’s project. And then once more, just like he steps away from Pepa’s help, dating apps and chooses the wost places for a chance romantic connection, he walks away from Marisol even when the whole scene plays out as if she’s the climax of his search throughout this whole ep. This might all hint that despite initial appearances, just like the people he came across while golfing and hiking wouldn’t be the right fit, Marisol wouldn’t be either. Even more importantly, just like Ana at first appeared like she would be perfect for Eddie in 312, starting out in a “it just happened” sort of way and with supposedly being fated because she happened to guess correctly that Eddie stands for Edmundo, this thing with Marisol might look in the moment like it’s exactly what he was looking for, but it will fizzle out as well.

[strangestofthings12]

This is going to be a very rambling and venty post cause im tired and annoyed and honestly am just using this to vent my anger/hurt. there is going to be stuff that can maybe be seen as anti tommy/bucktommy (please dont tell me a ship name to put i dont care about if they do have an agreed upon ship name right now) so if you dont want that please just move on. i dont want to fight i just want to yell into the void on a stupid throw away account so i dont bring my negativity stew and come out on my main blog where i just want to enjoy my stuff and just keep happy energy. I dont normally post and try and just find someone who explains it better because im not great and getting what im saying across or understood the way i want, so please bear with me. With that said i will move on to what i want to say

Okay so i have been watching 9-1-1 for years and i love and adore it. Its characters and dynamics and i have always loved found family. Now i will admit that i started watching it thinking that Buck and Eddie were a couple and had a son so i was kinda watching for it. Do i think if i didn't start watching thinking that i would ship them still yes 100%. I have always loved their relationship and i have loved watching both Buck and Eddie grow and start to be happy while also having each others back even at the worst times. Sometimes if i think to hard about Eddie and start crying cause I'm very normal about this show and it characters. Now Eddie is my favorite character in the show and at least in my top five overall favorite characters. I love him and his development and i adore seeing how much he does to just do right by Chris even when he messes up you can tell how much he adores that boy and how badly he wants to give Chris the best life possible. I could write essays about Eddie Diaz trying to explain how much i love him and why and i think words would run out before i could finish making people understand. Buddie is my favorite ship (sometimes second depending on my mood. i would say sorry but Henren and Madney will always be amazing ships and sometimes i just cant stop think about them)(Sorry Bathena i love you too i swear i just cant decide if i wanna kiss athena or be adopted by bobby and athena:( Its confusing) and has been for quite awhile and is one of my overall favorites and its one of my comfort ships.

With that context when bi Buck happened i was so insanely happy and i wouldnt shut up about it. it made me sick. i was so happy for Buck and while i think a part of me will always be a little sad Eddie wasnt his first kiss with a guy i dont think either of them are ready for that. i also understand that it wouldnt make sense for how the story is going right now. Now i have nothing against bucktommy in the show. I have watched the kiss scene and sobbed to much to pretend like i hate them or even dislike them. However I genuinely dont care about Tommy. Hes kinda bland and i forget about him half the time and before they brought him back i completely forgot his name. in my mind he was the one that wasnt as much of an asshole to chim and hen as the other two assholes which wasnt saying a lot. Now I dont dislike tommy nor am i going to act like hes irredeemable because neither Chim nor Hen seem to think hes still that guy and while they dont seem super close they seem to get along so clearly, he's not like that anymore. I have nothing that makes me dislike him nor do I like him. He's just there. He's just the guy buck kissed. Thats all he means to me. I would give up his screen time for Ravi or May or Karen in a heartbeat. because i love them cause they mean something to me. I don't think i thought about the fact that people might actually like him especially not more than EDDIE.

This is where the context matters cause i am to my core a one ship per person girly. I might see a ship and people who like it and even think thats not a terrible ship but i will still only look at content for my ship for that person (ie. i ship Destiel (dont say anything bad about them ill cry<3) but i can see the way someone would also ship Dean and Benny or crowley or Cas and Crowley or Mick but i will ignore the ship and move on and look at more Dean and Cas). normally i will just ignore the ship and move on because im not who its for. If it gets annoying in my tag or anything like that ill block it or whoever is annoying me cause its not a them problem that i dont want to see it. When i start to have a problem is when multiple people arent tagging right for whatever reason or people who are being rude about the ship i like because of their ship. When I started seeing Bucktommy stuff more and more in the 9-1-1 tag i went to the buddie tag cause i dont want to see them. my problem is that when im reading on AO3 and click on a fic tagged Buddie where bucktommy get married. it was literally just hurting Eddie. There was stuff before like id be scrolling though the buddie tag here and see someone saying that Tommy is a better character then Eddie and saying that they hope bucktommy is endgame. Whatever block and move on. Just like always but then people who have shipped buddie for years who ive seen talk about them are suddenly saying that they like bucktommy better. People who started watching because of bucktommy saying they dont like Eddie. People are going to have different opinions but it still bugged me. and then i read that and i was just hurt because it was tagged happy ending and i cannot fathom ever thinking Eddie hurting and pining is a happy ending. So i started to get more annoyed and i hate when that happens especially with a show i love and a character i dont dislike so i tried to just move on but more and more people are taking about it then i saw someone saying that they wanted eddie to die so buck and tommy can have Chris.

I just hate that so many people are jumping on the bucktommy train and saying that they like it better than buddie something that is so good and sweet or saying that they like Tommy more than Eddie. I just dont get it cause Tommy is boring. like yeah we now some about him and he flies a helicopter but hes forgettable he could be a completely different person and next to nothing would have to change. We have seen Eddie at his worst and claw his way back up and hes finally letting himself be open and honest and soft. Eddie couldnt be replaced. Now im not saying Tommy can't be an interesting character but as he is right now?? He just isnt. Hes just as bland as every women (minus Taylor and Shannon) Buck and Eddie have dated and been hated on for no reason!!! Like i get that Tommy is a guy and we got canon Bi Buck and people are happy but those same people turn around and shit on Marisol from what ive seen(I could be wrong cause again i have done my best to avoid). Buddie fans arent safe from that either, cause we all know that Buddie fans do that but so many of those people who hated on them and said they didnt want them with anyone else suddenly decided that they were okay if Buck ended up with any guy. I dont know its just weird and i hate how many people are acting like Eddie isnt always going to be better then Tommy. Part of me wanted Tommy to stick around and help Buck and Eddie figure it all out but now?? i honestly just cant wait for him to be gone cause I want to have fun and read fics for my comfort ship and just chill where i can see all of my ships in the show without buck and tommy being everywhere or people saying crap about Eddie.

I have more to say but most of its about how gratifying waiting and seeing where this whole thing goes(Buddie season 8 PLEASE!!) and this is already why to long and i think im just going in circles and none of this makes sense so ima shut up for now and hopefully this will help it not fester and drive me insane and become a tommy hater

Edit: but i also hate that Tommy calls Buck Evan so he already had some stuff against him rip

[pineapplehazard]

8x04 spoilers!!

Aaaaah i loved it, the whole thing!! I missed the silly interventions!!!!

- Henren : I'm so glad that Mara can finally go home to her moms and her brother!!!! (yes I saw the promo for ep5, but I'm gonna live in denial until next week (: ). Though I gotta say, why did they go outside with Madney and Mara that was such a stupid move 😐 (sorry).

- Gerrard: i do not consider this a redemption arc but shit, without him we wouldn't be where we are. I'm mad that he got an ending that is also satisfying for him, he SO doesn't deserves it!!!eurgh. The real reason everyone (mostly) is back where they belong is thanks to Bobby manipulating him but still, Gerrard shouldn't have a ending that he is pleased with eurgh.

Also how could Bobby do that to Brad? 😔💔 *sad british noises in the background*

- Buck : you perfect, intelligent man that you are giving Bobby a scare with the 'Little buddy' part of your bobby-therapy-session.....

- Chimney : looked so great, is so great, I love chimney, and it shouldn't but him with the gun did it for me!!

- Bobby and Athena : love that they're gonna rebuild, they could have had this idea around three months before though cause now they're gonna stay in that apartment for a little while longer... Also, I love Bobby being in love with Athena (and Athena with Bobby), they're adorable I love them

- Edmundo Diaz : first, I will never agree with Bobby on that mustache, I really really really appreciate it,, SO MUCH

Second, the angst is coming can you all feel it? I mean it's here already but a mountain of angst is building. Everyone's problems got resolved this episode, except for Eddie's one (and they couldn't resolve it so soon so that's normal but) meaning that at the end of the day, while The Wilsons and Hans were celebrating, and Athena and Bobby finally solved their house problem, (and Buck was... Idk ? Free of Gerrard? Can't really think of something here), and Wes and his father reunited.... Eddie went home and it was still just an empty house, because Chris is still in Texas and barely talking to him

So what if my heart broke when Wes called him Dad? Cause that's maybe the first time he's heard someone calling him that in a while...

On another note, I was worried he would go full Maddie-stalking-style with Wes' dad at first, maybe that's just because my brain loves finding parallels between Eddie and Maddie... Anyway, the whole talk with the dad about absent fathers, stupid masculinity stuff, and all. That was great.

'Masks' PROMO SPOILERS (i'm gonna try to stay evasive)

CAN'T WE LET THEM HAVE PEACE FOR AT LEAST ONE EPISODE??? ONE?? THAT'S SO F UP!!

Also I know it makes sense for ep4 to be 'No Place Like Home' but when next episode you have characters dressed like the Wizard of Oz's characters... Idk it feels like a miss, it doesn't sit well in my mind🤷‍♀️

If a 'friend od Dorothy' reference is made somehow throughout the episode I might combust

Also it feels weird that we got the synopsis so long before the airing and the synopsis focused a lot on Buck, when clearly the promo shows where focus might actually be... Bc when we have storyline like the one shown in the promo, usually you don't have to much time to put another character's storyline in focus in it. So Buck was probably to throw us, and he's just gonna be like believing there's ghosts or something like that...

Can't wait to know more about ep6 too!! The release date, stuff like that, I'm hyped!!

[youvegotmetoblame]

[shes-a-badkid]

I finally finished season 7 of 911 and I have things that I need to happen in season 8.

I’m gonna go by character and then just things I want to happen so strap in if you want to read my nonsense-

•Bobby- has this man ever ACTUALLY gone to real therapy? We’ve seen him talk to his priest and go to his meetings and that’s great, but like go to see a certified therapist. Please. I am actually begging.

•Athena- speaking of therapy… I love mom and dad, but I think they may need some marriage counseling. Just a tune up. (Because I don’t think mom here has ever talked about all of her trauma either, maybe even less than captain dad over there)

•May- I just want to see more of May. I miss her

•Hen and Karen- I need Henren to team up and take down the bitch. I don’t know how, but I need it. My heart says they call up Taylor and help her expose her abuse of power. (I don’t care what anyone says- I love Taylor) And I need them to get Mara back.

•Eddie- THERAPY! So much therapy. Solo therapy, family therapy, therapy that specializes in ptsd, maybe even therapy that specializes in religious issues… also please, we are all begging you to come out of the closet. And once you do, I do want Buddie to happen, but I kind of want Eddie to have his gay hot boy summer.

•Chris- honestly, I want this boy to stay mad for a bit. He deserves it. But I also want him to realize that his grandparents are toxic. Like maybe he realizes that, comes home, but he’s still mad and it SHOWS. Then, Eddie and him go to therapy. Maybe he vents to Buck and Buck is like trying to be neutral.

•Buck- I want him to move in with Eddie to help him not totally spiral (maybe that’s the catalyst for Tommy and him breaking up), and maybe he lets Bobby and Athena stay in his loft until they find a place. Other than that, he is doing surprisingly well and that frightens me for him…. Ooohh maybe, while Eddie is having his gay hot boy summer he gets all flustered and jealous and finally realizes he’s in love with Eddie.

•Chimney and Maddie- They need to continue to be happy and beautiful and adorable. Maybe we get another Madney baby. But, they can just continue with the good, happy married vibes.

•Ravi- just give me Ravi main. I will pay you. PLEASE. Just give it to me. And a Ravi Begins episode

•Gerard- I, personally, would love to see the team drive this man into an insane asylum or a grave. Just saying

-NOW- general things I want to happen

•Bottle episode- full episode at the station, no calls. Just silly station antics. Maybe someone is keeping a secret and this is when it all comes out. I saw someone talk about this in regards to Buddie- like they just go together and are kind of just seeing how it goes still and keeping it on the down low and they keep almost getting caught like holding hands or stuff like that and they make it through the whole slow shift and JUST as they are leaving they think they make it and they go to get into like Bucks jeep or whatever and they just barely kiss thinking no one sees except like everyone of course sees they just don’t know it and that’s how the episode ends. I don’t remember who it was but I would love that episode. Plus I just love a bottle episode.

•another good Chimney/Karen bonding moment. Like it was so cute and funny when they got drunk together when they thought Hen was up to something

•any scene with Maddie and Eddie together actually speaking to one another. I would love it if Maddie straight up calls Eddie out about his crush on Buck, but that’s just me

•Bobby having a friend that isn’t his wife or team. I know why the actor playing Michael is gone and that whole issue, but I miss their friendship/chemistry. His team (especially Buck) are most like his kids. He needs someone he can get into shenanigans with again

•more Buck/Hen scenes. We deserve them. They always have such cute scenes and we need more

•Chimney making fun of Eddie’s mustache

[laylawatermelon]

I'm thinking about it and I wonder if the reason Buddie is so compelling (aside from the parallels) is the fact that they're one of the few couples on the show that has storylines getting together within the show.

Madney is a popular one (what the hell they all are🤷🏾‍♀️), but that developed over the seasons giving fans an (adorable) anchor to rest on.

So did Buddie.

For Bathena, it was a speed run but it made so much sense. They were both older and had established lives before meeting each other and when they decided they were it for each other they were it. (I'm gonna make myself cry 😭)

And HenRen, oh my beautiful henren, their relationship was told backwards and forwards if that makes sense.

They were already established as a complete family who worked together. The storyline who shall not be named was wild and I don't even wanna say it asked commitment to each other after “challenges “ (made of ones volition but i digress) is one that they're dedicated to.

that's so ironic

(I'm low-key heated but I'll talk about that in another post)

But as I was saying about the Buddie of it all, it logistically and thematically it makes sense.

Two friends whose bond grows over time eventually start to see each other in a new light as they go through life and death together.

Sounds great right? A perfect love story?

BAM, they're men!

Ooooh how about bromance and call or a day.

Yes we know they're coparents but *whispers* we may have accidentally given ammo to the lughtuhbuh squad

Ignore me i be joking to much 😔🤣

But truly once you remove gender and focus only on the emotional beats they share, they mirror any and all romantic paintings from this show and various others. (I'm looking at the rookie fans who i now my head in mourning with you through this tough time rn *I've not seen a minute of the show*)

It's not a crime to see it as romantic when evidently it's written as one.

I've seen many fan edits paralleling their emotional hits (hell the cell block gunshot episode and bathena's final arc about the missing girl is a recycled mini plot/scene *very effective*)

But honestly if you look at it as a love story it will become apparent.

And as the show goes on the more they begin to parallel and blur into something of a blatant pairing.

Now less objective more emotional personal, as a panromantic (taking love is love to a next level amirite?) I literally don't see the problem with a lot of same sex ships and this is a really great example.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck it's a fuckin duck to me. (Excuse my French teehee🤗 just had to get the point across)

But forreal though.... Who was messing with my ship?! We gotta talk!

Open up Fox! I gotta talk to you! 🤗🗣️🔊🔊📢

I've had them less than a few months but Imma protect them until the day i die! (Unless of course morals and all that)

But I hope you like this, this was unplanned.

[lovecolibri]

Longtime 911 fandom lurker here. I love your takes and agree with, like, 99% of them but especially the ones regarding the issues since You Know Who took over as showrunner. Sorry for the loooong message incoming but my head has been spinning over something and am curious what you think!

I'll admit that I lost most of my hope that we'd ever see canon Buddie because of things that You Know Who said in interviews, as well as how Buck and Eddie were so distant in 6A. Well, recent episodes, a few BTS snippets and some interviews have me somewhat hopeful again. And let me tell you, Andrew Meyers, who I always perceived as an original Buddie supporter, writing the finale?? For the first time all season, I now think that *something* could happen.

I've seen many caution that we shouldn't expect to see anything happen with Buddie anytime soon, mainly because there has been no real build-up to "explain" the changing feelings but also because other characters have potentially big stories brewing. And I get that, I do. But then I think about how Bobby and Athena quite literally came out of nowhere and zoomed to marriage rather quickly (and this is not dissing them, I l-o-v-e them, but it's how it happened). Similarly, Maddie and Chim's relationship went through the ringer, but we've missed so much of it (for example, break-up off-screen and then they were back together very quickly without us seeing any counseling etc.) Then, of course, Hen and Karen went SIX seasons without proper backstory.

What I'm trying to say is that 9-1-1 has never really been consistent as far as showing deep, sold relationship development. This isn't to say that they can't write good relationships; they definitely can! And in the case of Buddie, you can view things through the years as metaphors and foreshadowing and hints and so forth. But, I think that certain people expect the show to spoonfeed the audience about Buddie, or do some in depth sexuality exploration storyline, and I'm kind of doubtful. To counter the, "Well, they HAVE to explain to the GA how these STRAIGHT men are no longer STRAIGHT!" I could see them waving it away with a, "The actors have such great chemistry, and just like in real life, sometimes you fall in love with a person you don't expect to." And while I adore many things about the show, when they have to juggle schedules, we know that some (*cough*Buck*cough*) end up getting more airtime then others. I do kind of worry that many fans will be disappointed and complain about getting canon Buddie if it unfolds quickly, even though that's really par for the course.

Of course, I could be totally wrong in thinking that anything is going to happen, hahaha, but what are YOUR thoughts? Is it possible that they kind of roll out Buddie in a...not casual but not super obvious big way that many seem to expect? Knowing that the actors' contracts expire after next season and that the show won't go on forever, I could honestly kind of see them just going with it 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you are a longtime lurker I hope you are aware that I'm truly terrible and answering asks! 😬😬😬 It's the executive dysfunction! 🙃 I'm sorry it took so long to get to this. It WILL happen again.

Thanks for coming here and sending this long ask and sharing your thoughts! I think Madney is one of the best buildups they've done on the show and I didn't think it moved TOO fast because right when they started is when Doug came back in the later part of s2 and they took a step back at that point. Of course I've had issues with their story since JLH left on maternity leave and they decided to cut Chim out of the show rather than show things from his POV and being loved and supported by the firefam and he and Buck working things out because they were brothers before Maddie ever came around. Plus, after Boston it has felt like 90% of their stuff happens off screen and I hate that! I want to see the deep and hard conversations! But KR struggles (by her own admission) with arc planning, and coming up with plots, and episode pacing and it REALLY shows in the difference with how Madney used to be to how they are handled now. Yes they have less time with JLH but that just means every second you have her should COUNT and yet instead of having her there for important things like being the one on the call when Chim gets abducted to hit those emotional beats she's just...not.

As for Budde, honestly, I could live with a 3rd party confession this season though I'm a little leery of that for several reasons.

The season break gives them time to backtrack when all the homophobes inevitably come crawling out of the woodwork

I am holding out hope that over the season break the show will choose to bring someone new on or Tim will come back because I don't trust KR to tell their story (or anyone's stories honestly) and i want to see things happen on screen. I have my issues with Tim too, but he always had a really good ebb and flow to the episodes and arcs and things didn't drag out but also weren't started and wrapped up in a single episode never to come up or affect anything ever again. (Honestly I think that issue on LS is more about the show having to cater to RL and working everything around what they have to do for Owen)

A lot of the fun of seeing these relationships on TV is the build up! The pining! And I think Buck and Eddie and their love story deserve that, plus it could easily involve lots of fun stuff from the firefam! We could get one of them letting it slip in front of Chim and him struggling with the secret, and the other telling Hen and them ending up as the spiderman pointing meme when they figure out what the other knows. We could get confirmation of the betting pool the 118 has on Buddie, we could get Ravi being SOOO confused because he thought they had been together before and were separated. Like, there is so much FUN they could have with it along with all the Buddie scenes themselves and I think they deserve the time to explore all that.

As for a sexuality awakening/crises storyline I don't think we will really get one, even though it would be nice to see and easily something that they could work in since we know Eddie is in therapy. I personally could live with it just coming up in a conversation between Eddie and Buck or even someone in the firefam. I would LOVE a scene with Eddie and Hen about it actually but I would also accept Bobby in a father/son talk or even Ramon if they want to show him putting in the work to support his son when it's not as easy as offering parenting advice about Chris. If they wanted to do it more lighthearted I could also see it being a scene with Chim and that kicking off the "Chim has a secret to keep and it's killing him but he's gonna do his best to keep it" thing. If we were actually SUPER lucky we could get the 3rd party confession being with Maddie and Eddie, but the time to do that would have been 6x11 but the show couldn't be bothered because they were too busy wedging the Buckley parents into everything and cutting Eddie out of the episode as much as possible 🙃

I think every relationship OG has had has been a little differently told because each of the couples and stories are different and I like that! Bobby and Athena are adults who know what they want and go after it because they both know time can run out when you least expect it. Bobby especially saying she made him feel like he was finally on solid ground was not just adorable but a great peek into how solid their relationship was from the jump. Maddie was skittish and needed time to be by herself and figure herself out but she also needed to see what it was like to have a best friend and fall in love with them because Doug was NEVER her friend. And honestly after seeing Chim and Tatiana, he needed to spend time just being friends with her too and I love how their story unfolded. Hen and Karen start out already married with a kid so we got to see them navigating current struggles together which has been great, but I love that we got a flashback and got to see the start of their relationship even though it wasn't necessarily NEEDED, it was WANTED and one episode was able to show us so much. So I think Buddie also deserve to have something that fits their relationship and as much as I would LOVE a big dramatic scene, I think after some pining and build up with the firefam getting to have some fun shenanigans, that they will fall into this like they do everything together-easy as breathing.

[wikiangela]

I'm on the train, watching 5x14 bc I can't wait lol

spoilers under the cut

it's so fucking good to see Chim back in action, I legit just teared up lol

aw poor Eddie having nightmares 😢 and Bobby's here!!! I love Bobby's serious convos with everyone so much, he's the best ❤️

I really like Lucy but I'm honestly so indifferent towards Monday (whatever his name is) that I'm surprised every time he's on screen because I just forget about his existence lol

Karen! omg it's been so long

"the things that make you sad, am I one of tnem?" baby no 😭😭 I'm on the train I can't cry right now why did I decide to watch it now omg 😭💔

oh no Jee 😳😭 Maddie and Chim just can't catch a break can they

oh, the roller-coaster guy - that was one of the most stressful things I saw in this show (maybe bc I wasn't used to it yet but also I'm scared of heights lol)

love Lucy and Buck's convo - I hope they become friends (and I'm glad it seems like Buck's not freaking out and being weird about the kiss anymore 😂)

Buck taking care of Chris 😍 and the heart drawing lmao I loved that Buck is adorable 😍😂

also, I love that Eddie talks to Buck about everything, just... ❤️ my buddie heart is very happy - and also breaking a bit for Eddie and his struggle but still

(but I'm still not hoping for more when it comes to buddie because it is 911 so 😂 I'll take what I can get😂)

aww Jee's fine, thank god - and Madney holding hands 🥺

omg Eddie and Buck's conversation at the end - it was so good and maybe Buck got through to Eddie, and just... so good

loved the episode, every story was interesting, of course I'm the most invested in Eddie right now lol, but I loved Chim and Maddie (and I'm so glad Jee's fine) and I liked Lucy's lil arc that kinda tied into Eddie's in the end 💁🏻‍♀️

great episode haha (but watching 911 on the train is not a good idea lol)

[matan4il]

in 6:12 i just think the way bobby talked about athena was so freaking cuts, i adore them so much🫠and the couch parallel with buddie, absolutely loved that so much

Hi Nonnie! I couldn't agree with this more. Bobby and Athena ARE adorable. It's insane to think about their journey, and beautiful to think of how certain Bobby was of them even when he had every reason not to be.

Also, every time I fear maybe Buddie wouldn't be as good once they go canon, I just look at Bathena, Henren and Madney, at how much I love them, at how much development they've gotten even as established couples, and I'm not afraid anymore. I ADORE the couch metaphor! But I know we just have so much good Buddie content to look forward to even beyond that.

Thank you and have a great day! As always, here's my ask tag. xoxox

[sunshinechay]

8, 14, and 5 for both in the 911verse asks

8. OG or LS?

OG. I love the firefam and their extended families. I love the bonds and dynamics. Each person has a different relationship with others and they spend a lot of time focusing on that which I really love.

I'm not a huge fan of LS, I don't hate it but I'm not a big fan of it either. I haven't seen any of s3 but I pay attention to what people are saying about it so if something happens that really interests me I'll definitely pick it up again.

14. What got you into the show?

I kept seeing gifset on tumblr from old mutuals that had started watching the show and I wanted to know who the heck these gay firefighters were. The more I looked into it the more I fell in love with Hen and then as the show went on, I fell in love with everyone else...especially Eddie.

For LS, I started it because I had heard it was a spin-off OG and I like Rob Lowe's acting as well as Liv Tyler. I didn't really fall in love with it the way I did with OG unfortunately.

5. favourite friendship, relationship, or pair/group of people.

OG

For OG, my favourite friendship is Hen and Chimney. They compliment each other so well and each has their own strengths. You can tell they have been friends for a really long time when the show first starts and that continues as you get further into the show. They are always supporting each other and I love that about them.

My favourite relationship is Eddie and Buck. Both as a ship and just as a regular relationship. They are two guys who just bonded when they met each other. They trust each other, which is something that is hard for Eddie especially to do and from that, I knew I was going to love their relationship. As a ship I think they would be a great couple, however, if that ship never sails, I'm perfectly okay with that because the relationship these two have is so dynamic and deeply satisfying for me to watch week after week.

My favourite canon relationship is a tie between Madney and Henren (though I absolutely adore Bathena as well). I wish so much we got to see more Henren together because we simply do not get enough of it or enough of Karen imo.

I gotta go with the whole firefam for my favourite group of people. These guys are exactly what I love about a found family. They have their differences but they somehow all manage to work it out because they each know that they would die for each other and love each other.

LS

Favourite friendship for LS is definitely the trio, Paul, Marjan and Mateo. I want so much for us to get more of these three (though especially Paul, my boy doesn't get enough love). You can really tell that in the small amount of time they've known each other, they've really become close and are like siblings to each other.

Favourite relationship is definitely Grace and Judd. These two are couple goals (at least from what I've seen of them). I've also seen a lot of gifsets of Judd being really happy that he's going to have a daughter and I know they are going to be awesome parents.

For non-canon (since I did buddie for the other one lol) is NancyxMarjan. Please let it happen 911 gods.

Favourite pairing/group of people, I'm going to go with the firefam for this show as well. They all seem to just connect in a similar way to the OG firefam and I always love that kind of found family. I've seen that they are all in separate firehouses right now and I hope they all can get back to the 126 soon.

[back-on-my-bucky-bs]

911 for the in depth fandom thing !

Oh hell yeah! Thank you for the ask btw! I’m doing all of them since you didn’t specify, which was probably been done on purpose. 

Send me a show/fandom and I’ll answer:

Top 5 favorite characters: 

Evan “Buck” Buckley

Athena Grant

Howard “Chimney” Han

Maddie Buckley

Henrietta “Hen” Wilson

Other characters you like: 

I loved Abby when she was on it, I’m glad she came back even if it was or a short time.

Least favorite characters: 

Honestly fuck Shannon, she was awful, selfish, whiny, like who cares how shitty your marriage is, don’t fucking abandon your child. 

OTPS: 

Buddie! 

Madney!

Bathena!

Henaren!

Basically all the canon ships lol.

NOTPS:

Shannon/Eddie

I’m pretty sure that’s it lol.

Favorite friendships: 

Chimney and Hen are amazing!

Buck and Christopher are so sweet.

ANd of course, Buck and Eddie are bro-goals!

Favorite family: 

Grant-Nash Family is so wholesome, I wish my divorced parents got along as well as Athena and Michael did, my mom would rather die than tell my dad she loves him. 

Favorite episodes: 

Can I say all of them? 

lol but really, the tsunami episodes were fucking amazing. 

Favorite season/book/movie: 

Season 2 and 3 are pretty great seasons. 

Favorite quotes: 

Maddie: Maybe you should stop talking now. Chimney: She had a meet-cute over an open chest wound! That's not right!!

Eddie: You want to do a rope rescue? Of course, you do.

Musical moment: 

There hasn’t been one yet, but I want it to play out like how it did in Grey’s Anatomy where someone is in a coma, and whilst in the coma, the musical happens. It would be beautiful. 

The moment that made you fangirl/boy the hardest: 

When Ms. Buddie Shipping Elf was like “you two have an adorable son” and baby Buck got all blushy and skipped away without correcting her

When it really disappointed you: 

Bobby you fucker, why the fuck did you not think Buck was ready to come back after his injury? Also, holy fuck Buck why SUE THEM?

Saddest moment: 

WHEN BUCK WAS TRAPPED UNDER THE LADDER TRUCK! I was a fucking wreck, especially when the crowd of people ran to help the team lift the truck to help save him. 

Most well-done character death:

Shanon because she died and I was fairly happy with it.  

Favorite guest star: 

When Abby came back! 

Favorite cast member: 

Oliver Stark, he’s baby.

The character you wish was still alive: 

Michael, in case the tumor kills him in season 4. 

One thing you hope really happens: 

CANON BUDDIE

Most shocking twist: 

When during taking back the dispatch it turned out the girl was the mastermind the whole time, she was fucking badass I kind of wish she and her bf got away with the paintings. 

When did you start watching/reading?: 

2018, Thanksgiving break, my mom was catching up with her DVR recordings, I was on the couch on Tumblr and she was watching Hen Begins and I was so intrigued with Hen’s story and the show from then on. 

Best animal/creature: 

Buck’s future cat. 

Favorite location: 

Athena and Bobby’s house is GORGEOUS!

Trope you wish they would stop using: 

mmm, I got nothing right now. If the show was still like season 1 with all the religious shit in it, I’d say to cut that down some. But they already did so we’re Gucci. 

One thing this show/book/film does better than others: 

Found Family actually being a family is one. 

But like my beef with a similar she, Station 19, everyone things with their dicks and the characters drama is solely sexual/relationship related and I hate it and yet 9-1-1 is a firefighter drama that doesn’t do that crap that Station 19 does and I’m eternally grateful for that. 

Funniest moments: 

Chimney and Karen getting drunk together was fucking hysterical! 

The couple you would like to see: 

Buddie of course, the hints alone are killing me, but I love a slow burn so I shall suffer in agony. 

Actor/Actress you want to join the cast: 

For the future Buck Begins episode, I have my fan-cast for Buck and Maddie’s parents. 

I really enjoyed Tricia Helfer in Lucifer, so she would make a great Mrs. Buckley (even if she and JLH are like the same age lol, mostly because I hc that Maddie and Buck have different moms but Maddie never knew her birth-mom because she died when she was really young). 

As for their dad, I really love the idea of, Vincent Irizarry, playing him, especially if Mr. Buckley is as bad as we all think he is because Vincent knows how to play a bad guy.

Favorite outfit: 

Anything Buck wears tbh.

Favorite item:

Uh...I don’t know if there’s a significant item in the show lol. 

Do you own anything related to this show/book/film?: 

Nope. These types of shows don’t really have merch, though if Box Lunch has Grey’s Anatomy stuff it's only a matter of a time for there to be an overpriced Team 118 t-shirt in sizes that don’t fit me at the store lol. 

What house/team/group/friendship group/family/race etc would you be in?: 

No clue, could I be in a poly ship with Buck and Eddie? Christopher needs a better mom and I am a great mom. 

Most boring plotline: 

I can’t really think of anything? 

Most laughably bad moment: 

Just when the elevator door was closing after the scene with the lawyer, and it was just awkward with buck on the outside looking it, kind of cringey too.

Best flashback/flashforward if any: 

Athena Begins was AMAZING and young Athena was gorgeous!

Most layered character: 

Buck for sure. 

Most one-dimensional character: 

I guess Bobby since season 2 he’s not changed much, which isn’t a bad thing because he’s a good guy. 

Scariest moment: 

When Athena was getting attacked. 

Grossest moment: 

Face Maggot

Best looking male: 

Buck!

Best looking female: 

Athena!

Who you’re crushing on (if any): 

Buck!!!

Favorite cast moment: 

When Oliver Stark was doing the watch-live and Rafael Silva showed up and Oliver was like “Hey Rafa!” all cute like.

Favorite transportation: 

Riding in a firetruck would be cool lol.

Most beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): 

The scene with the tsunami wave, it was amazing!

Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you: 

WHO ARE BUCK and MADDIE’s PARENTS? WHAT IS THEIR DEAL?

Best promo: 

The season 3 promo was pretty epic.

At what point did you fall in love with this show/book:

When I first saw the show with Hen Begins. Though I was really confused when I started the show from the beginning since I thought the whole show was about taking the story of one firefighter and doing a flashback of them becoming a firefighter. Which is dumb now that I think about it lol.

[after-nine-at-the-oasis]

Okay anyway!! Final thoughts over, now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

I loved this episode!!!

I feel like the blimp thing was a bit over hyped, and obviously we knew that not EVERYTHING would be in the first episode, but with the general trend of beginning of the season disasters it kinda seemed like most of it would be except for short clips xD

Anyway, not my favorite start of season emergency, but it was cool and unique and a good emergency on it's own so I liked it :))

BUDDIEEEEE

Eddie being chill and wise this episode 😌😌 love that for him

Christopher too lol xDD And they were Palting Yahtzee or whatever, ahhh (scream) :DD

Also yk I love buddie but yeah I think Buck does need to spend some time single for right now xDD

I hope it works out for him :))

Though watching his crisis was pretty funny lol

MADNEYYYY!!!!

YAYYY 🥰🥰🥰 Good for them :))

And also Maddie's line about mommies not leaving killed me 😭😭😭 thank you

I deserved that lol

I sya as if my mother left or something??? Lol she did not xdd

And also her not leaving and wanting to be a part of the family, that line :))

Plus the movie struggles that was hilarious xDD Poor thing lol, the movie xDD and Maddie and Chim lol, for different reasons

ANYWAY this is a bit scattered but yeah I love them and I'm so glad they're back together :DD

Hen!! I REALLY hope this isn't too much for her. I mean I get it too, like a lot, I'm really busy sometimes and even when I'm not quite as busy just the ENERGY it takes to get through it all - PHOO, it's rough xdd. Especially when I'm still getting over being sick lol.

Anyway, I love her, I relate to her xD, and I hope she's okay :))

And Bathena!!! I love them :DDD. I REALLY hope they do eventually get to go on that honeymoon xDD Man they deserve it SO MUCH

Lol, anyway, yeah :))

I love them and they're adorable and I hope Bobby will be okay with he bars if (WHEN, PLEASE WHEN) they get to go, not that I think he'll relapse I just want it to be good for him too, the cruise I mean :))

Anyway, yeah, they're great :DD and I am SACRED for the next episode XDDD

Them ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️

Overall, I really loved this episode :D. The calls were great, we got a nice amount of screen time for everyone, and I'm excited to see where everything goes from here :)). The plots seem intriguing, and while I'm sure they won't all be the exact same the entire season, I'm interested in seeing where they're going :)).

So yeah! I really enjoyed this episode. I think next week will be a little heavier though. This has been my review of. . .

9-1-1, Season 6, Episode 1: Let The Games Begin

It was great in my opinion!! But I'm super excited for the next one. See you next week for my review of. . .

9-1-1, Season 6, Episode 2: Crash & Learn

See you guys then!!

[matan4il]

I wish S2 E5 got more attention, I know it was seasons ago but that was the episode I knew Buddie was endgame. It brought together 4 characters Buck, Eddie, Chim and Maddie and basically outlined their future dealings with each other as couples.

With Maddie, Chim had his dorky pop culture side that clearly made Maddie swoon. And Chim, like how do you not heart eye the adorable JLH. They clicked and you felt it.

With Buddie, its that jaws of life comment that made Eddie think he was the smartest dude in the room. Even when he walks in he just brushes past Maddie looking for plates for food. He has no idea Chim may have developed an interest, but he clearly has none. Then Buck basically assuming if you are talking about a hot guy in a room you clearly mean Eddie right?

Even though women have flown in and out they never loose their vibes in both couples. And it honestly says alot because of course everything Buddie related in the first 4 episodes was awesome, especially episode 4 with Carla. But it was 5 that made me realize OK, they really are gonna make Eddie distinctively different with Buck then anyone else.

Hi Nonnie! Oooh, I love this ask!

So, if we're gonna talk ep 206, which starts with Buck, Chim and Eddie helping Maddie move into her new apartment, then I can tell you I have screamed about it over here, as well as in other meta posts referencing back this dialogue, but I think you're right and I haven't talked about it enough. Because YES. It sets up this ongoing parallel between Madney and Buddie, and you're absolutely right. Not only is it SO telling that when Maddie says, "He's cute!" Buck's mind jumps directly to Eddie (confirming what Maddie said earlier in 204, that Buck has a "boy crush" on him), it's also so meaningful that Eddie is around this gorgeous, smart, funny, kind woman and yet the person he's completely wrapped up in is Buck...

And this ep is, ironically, the one where Taylor is first introduced! So it's explicitly established Buck thinks Eddie is cute before she even shows up. And when she does? That's the ep that gives us peak jealous!Eddie for the first time. Taylor talks to Bobby? Everything's fine. Taylor talks to Buck? Eddie right away struts over all territorial. It can't be just that he thinks Taylor isn't trust-worthy, or he would have come over when she was talking to Bobby, too!

I'll be honest, I didn't know yet during 206 if Buddie will be endgame. But by then, I knew I wanted them to be. I think some of the stuff I wrote about in my 204 meta (the way Buck and Eddie are so connected, and Eddie trusts Buck, letting him into his and Chris' life, the way Buck gives Eddie the perfect help that he wasn't even knowingly asking for) that's what already convinced me that whether they will be or not, they SHOULD be endgame. I still stand by that.

Thank you, Nonnie! I hope this answer was satisfying? Please feel free to let me know! Hope you have a great day! xoxox

And if you or anyone else is looking for my other ask replies, you can find them using my ask tag. xoxox
