Revenge is a Family Business

[canonicallyobserving911]

Lately, I've been trying to determine what’s missing or wrong with 9-1-1 and I think I've figured it out. Aside from the obvious pacing, editing and too many guest stars issues, IMO, one of the biggest items that's been missing is the "Found Family" aspect. This wasn’t an issue prior to season 5 and even though three guests were there, one for the entire season and two others for 5B, it ended with Henren's vow renewal. Season 2 ended with Eddie’s induction ceremony and the Bathena wedding, season 3 ended with May's graduation and season 4 had the 118 on the roof of the firehouse celebrating Albert passing his firefighter certification.

Since Hen's almost leaving the 118 to go to medical school gathering in 6x5, there's been nothing except for them being at the hospital for Buck in 6x11 and Bobby in 7x10 (I'm not including the 118 being on the roof in 6x18 because they weren't celebrating). And even when Bobby was there, everyone else wasn't (Besides Hen, Chimney, Buck and Eddie. Reminder, Athena left to go chase Amir and the drug cartel). Denny was in the hospital in 8x5 but there weren’t any sightings of Toni, his grandmother, who's also Hen's mother. All the previous guest stars have been ousted in favor of Brad 😬. I wish he would leave because he’s not needed and he’s getting on my nerves. There are far too many guests on this show now and not enough time for the relationships I've grown to enjoy watching.

Where's Hen and Chimney’s ride or die friendship?

Where's Buck's and Eddie’s emotionally intimate relationship?

Where's Buck and Chris spending time like they used to without there being some whack ass doppelgänger storyline? Oh, that's right, Chris was sent to live with his grandparents even though Eddie said he didn't want that. 🙄

Where's Maddie's and Josh's friendship?

Where's Ravi, Linda and other guest stars? Oh, that's right... they were replaced with someone who can't act (he’s finally gone), Gerrard's racist and bigoted ass and Brad. 🙄

Since season 7, it seems like there's been a lot of busyness going on but nothing's happening and that's bad on so many levels. Everyone seems to be in silos and it's causing a lot of the pacing and continuity issues.

Did anyone else notice how the 118 didn't arrive for any of Athena's calls in 8x7? Reminder, 99% of the time in the past it was them who showed up. Also, IIRC, she didn't share a scene with Bobby in that episode but they sent Bobby to dinner with Brad so he could scold him like he was 15 years old. 🙄

I really hope this stuff gets fixed before 8B because all of these issues are hindering the show and arcs are hanging in the balance while guest stars get more screen time than the main characters. I've seen this before (season 5 with Taylor and Lucy) and it didn't end well.

Just saying.

[lover-of-mine]

So now that episode 5 has finished airing. Do you have any updated theories or adjusted timelines of what you think is in store buddie wise and bt break up wise ?

I have been saying 807 for the breakup for weeks (here's a ss of me on the gc for proof I didn't just say that, I even left the typo in so it wouldn't say edited lol)

I think the speed in which the Mara and Bobby thing got resolved along with the disaster pacing of last season made people believe things would happen in one episode. But the Mara and Bobby things are things that Tim regretted doing, so he needed a quick way to solve it. The bt thing isn't. I maintain my original theory of buddie feeling acknowledgement for the audience (one sided or mutual, who knows, just not them admitting it to each other) as the midseason finale cliffhanger that I proposed a really long time ago, that I proposed in the form of having Eddie come out during the finale. I still think buddie as a cliffhanger, then them getting together mid 8b makes sense (812 buddie canon theory I will believe in you until the show drags it out of my hands), but I think we might get Eddie queer earlier (I'm looking at you confessions, don't blow this for me), so I'm wondering if they won't do something that forces them to confront what they mean to each other in the midseason, and something else happening forcing them to put that in the back burner (Chris coming home for Christmas to match Shannon, Tim Minear you can't miss that opportunity and it's a plausible way to slow buddie down, come on, you know I'm right). So my timeline is maybe Eddie queer 806, 807 breakup, midseason finale buddie cliffhanger style (not kiss or getting together, just something that makes it clear that they are in love with each other), getting together 812-814. But that's just a theory.

Blog Posts and Fanfics Update: Canonically Observing 9-1-1 & Fanonwriter2023 on AO3

I haven't done a post like this since after season 6 ended and after season 7 ended earlier this year, I didn't do one because that was a horrific time in the Buddie fandom with all the toxicity and frustrations that were taking place (related post linked here). However, after the way the 8A mid-season finale ended, I took a few days to determine how I was going to participate in fandom during the hiatus because I wasn't happy with a lot of the stuff that happened. I've already posted about the way I wanted to see more Eddie and Chris scenes along with how Eddie wasn't shown going from point A to point B in his decision making regarding him considering a move back to El Paso (linked here).

I'm fully aware it's a setup for Buddie but Eddie's my favorite character and I'm not happy with the limited amount of screen time he received. This is not something I'll go back and forth about and I don't need to be convinced that things "might" be different during the second half of season 8 because IMO, it's always been like this and he's always sidelined while other characters get more and better storylines.

Also, after 8x6 aired and Buck's whatever the hell he was doing with the PLOT DEVICE ended and Eddie was doing something that gave him joy, I was excited to see where the show was going to take Buck's, Eddie's and Chris' storylines (related post linked here). But IMO, 8x7 was a huge waste of time and nothing happened to move any of the main characters' arcs forward and 8x8 spent even more time on side characters who won't be around any longer. With all the editing and pacing issues, the abundance of guest stars and the "Hotshots" storyline that went absolutely nowhere special, the last two episodes seemed to be rushed and not thoroughly planned out. So, needless to say, I wasn't happy with how it ended.

Therefore, I spent the last few days thinking about how I'm going to spend the hiatus because 14 weeks is a long time and I will not spend the next three and a half months rehashing the mediocre parts of episodes 8x1 through 8x8.

Here's an update for my blog and fanfics.

During the Hiatus...

Blog posts

I'll be reblogging my Buddie and Buckley-Diaz Family posts that highlight Buck's and Eddie's casual and emotional intimacies along with those that illustrate how they've already built a family and a life together. Additionally, since I still have a few METAs and speculation WIPs blog posts, occasionally, I'll complete one and post it.

Fanfics

I'm still writing fanfics and I'll post notifications when new chapters are up on AO3 for my two WIPs multi-chapter fanfics and for new Buddie fanfics that I write. Lately, I've been in my Married Buddie Sick!Fic era because I like writing them taking care of each other and I'm back on my Singer!Buck headcanon because I believe Maddie taught Buck how to sing, so I've written another fic about him serenading Eddie. Also, I have five series that are still in progress, so I'll continuously be posting new fanfics as well.

My goal is to start 8B with the same excitement I had after 8x6 ended because I want my fandom experience to be fun again like it was before season 6 ended. I love writing METAs, doing speculation, making GIFs and writing fanfic and I'm planning to keep doing those things but I won't spend my time between now and March 6th rehashing the past because I'm looking forward to Buddie CANON.

Find me on AO3 at Fanonwriter2023.

Chapter 6 of my 8B fanfic is now live!

Short and sweet, but I was desperate to be rid of this awful storyline.

I hope we actually see this happen in a few weeks!

The Eddie Munson hashtag on Tiktok just reached 10 billion views in less than 2 months. The only other character with more views is eleven with 10.5B and she's the main character. Obviously those views don't mean everything and tik tok is the biggest it has ever been for a stranger things season. But still it blows my mind how fast he basically took over the app. The edits haven't stopped either. Most of the rest of the characters btw have less then 5 or 4B, only Steve tag is at 8B.

What I'm saying is eddie is basically the most popular character right now and top 3 ever from what I'm seeing.
