the selling of the truck (potentially) just breaks something in me. just a little bit. because eddie does not invest in himself hardly ever. so to see this truck that... okay the way he got it, not great... but this thing he earned and got for himself that he is now giving up to fit in a box that isn't right for him. for chris, eddie would give up anything and everything. but first, it was the job he loved, then the city and home he loved. and now he is going to be without the job that gave him purpose again, PLUS he is getting rid of that truck. it's like eddie is making himself smaller and smaller, cutting out pieces that don't fit, so he can be this thing for chris. because if Chris was traumatized and running from him, but happy and thriving with his parents.... well, maybe the issue is eddie. but if eddie can be something else... can figure out how to be exactly what chris needs, who cares if he is a shell of himself if it means chris is happy, healthy, and taken care of. perhaps this is the penance he must pay. it's like the well... he cut his own line for a kid, and now he is under 40 ft of mud. he has two choices... wait and potentially let himself die or fight like hell to get back to his family. he's still alive down there. he's screaming, pounding against the mud. he won't give up without a fight. but for those few uncertain moments, he still wonders if he will make it out alive.
God I love that dumbass blind vigilante guy
Matt getting so caught up in masking his misery and worsening mental health that he forgets he got taken hostage and that's usually a traumatic experience. We're back to normal I see.
This is what happens when I read too many girldad!Buck fics. And this isn't even all.
*shoves a crying Matt Murdock in your face* TAKE THAT YOU “DDBA bad bc Matt Murdock would not have moved on that quick” BITCHES BECAUSE HE FUCKING HAS NOT. BITCH IS IN DENIAL. HE CANT EVEN SAY FOGGYS FUCKING NAME. HE REACHED FOR THE FUNERAL CARD. HES SO BROKEN BROSKIS ITS ACTUALLY INSANE.
Started watching bc i heard one half of a ship got confirmed queer and my destiel shipper heart couldn’t believe it. I am SO glad I did lmao
Come and get them before the buddie canon elevator closes!!!!!!
I DONT LIKE THIS I REALLY DONT LIKE THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
No because I think this is the exact reason I fell in love with 9-1-1 so much. Season one, Bathena got together, and I was so dissapointed, because if you've watched more than two tv shows in your life, you know what happenes to couples who get together in the first season. They get used for drama, they are thrust into repeating storylines, they either aren't endgame, or they break up and make up all the time, over and over, and are horrible to each other bur still stay together. (Cough cough Ross and Rachel from Friends.) It kills the characters instantly, and it kills their storylines. I was so mad.
But then I kept watching, bc it's not like this was a new feeling - this happens all the time. Disappointing, but whatever. So I kept waiting for the inevitable fallout and breakup and unnecessary drama between Bathena, and it just... didn't happen. They just... moved foreward in their relationship, and the showrunners made them interesting as fuck - without breaking them up unnecessarily!! Fucking bonkers to me, especially how Henren started out in season one. But Bathena had fights, and drama, and happy moments, and they defied what I thought a season-one-couple was.
And then it just kept on going. Bathena, Madney, Henren - they all found their special person and they didn't have to give that up to remain interesting or original. I've never seen anything like it before. It was magical. Still is.
I think that's why I'm not terrified that they are going to fuck up Buddie. If any other show decided to get the two popular and constantly shipped male leads together, I KNOW they couldn't do them justice, especially in the long run. But 911 can. Because they've already done it. Multiple times. And that just makes me so freaking happy.
domestic buddie being imminent is also fun bc this show does a good job at keeping a relationship dynamic interesting after getting characters together. henren is established from day one and while karen isn’t around as much as the mains their presence/drama is still there. bathena got more interesting once they started blending their family. madney went thru sooo much up and down and now they’re happily married and maddie’s still getting serial killer kidnapped and saving chim’s life w hammers. domestic buddie are gonna keep having insane things happen bc that’s the show but now they will get to react to it as romantic partners and (eventual) husbands. :)
fuck it, i'm curious. reblog and tag with the first fictional death to ever rewrite your brain chemistry and/or make you cry like a baby. mine was ares from the underland chronicles (who, for context, was a giant bat.) to this day i will weep if i think too hard about it. okay, go.
Úristen én is pont ezt mondtam!! LOLL Nemecsek engem annyira traumatizált, jézusom.

I fear no one is going to get this because it is a hungarian book we had to read in... I don't even know what grade. 3rd or 4th, maybe? It's called "A Pál utcai fiúk" ("The boys of Pál Street", written 1906), and it's about a group of kids who find a big, abandoned... field? I think? in the city of Budapest, on Pál street, and make it their own, and turn it into their HQ. They become friends, or more accurately, form a club, and have strict rules to follow. If I remember correctly, (I literally haven't read this book in seven years) there is also a rival club of boys, who they are trying to sabotage. I cannot for the life of me remember the plot, but I do know there was this one kid, young and scrawny and small, who was constantly trying to prove himself. Some things happened, which led the boys to believe he betrayed them, and was a traitor - not true, of course - and as punishment, they wrote his name into their rulebook with lowercase latters, the lowest and most humiliating thing a member of the club could be punished with, and they kicked him out. (Ah yeas, I remember, his name was Nemecsek I think!)
Meanwhile, however, in an earlier adventure, Nemecsek fell into a cold lake on a winter night, already a bit down with the cold. After he was kicked out, the boys ignore him completely, and shun their friend out - so they don't realise in time that the illness got serious. Nemecsek got pneumonia, i think, which at the time was incredibly dangerous, especially for a frail little boy like him.
Needless to say, he dies, with none of his friends there, his mother bawling on his chest, still believing his only friends hate him. When the boys hear about this, they are shook, of course, and immidiately forgive him and feel completely fucking horrible, but it's too little too late. They honor him by not only rewrite his name with the correct -capital letters, but by writing it in ALL capital letters.
I bawled my eyes out. I was such a little kid at the time, and i loved reading and getting invested in stories, and this fucking broke me. I finished the book at like 1 am one evening, which at the time was very late for little me, and my brother heard me literally sobbing and had to comfort me. First encounter with MCD. I didn't even think it was real. I just kept reading, because I was like "what do you mean? Books ALWAYS have a good ending please this has to be a joke - " it was not. Fucking. Broke me.

This is what I’m SAYING. It’s history happening right before our eyes, and for once, that is a good thing.
like obviously i am emotionally invested in buddie going canon from like, a character/story perspective but from a 'got a degree in sociology, has been on tumblr since 2012, was once a superwholocker' perspective, i am FAR more invested this shit is delightful and fASCINATING. despite all the shit in the world, despite the backlash towards LGBTQ people happening right now, there is a major network television show that already made one half of a m/m fan ship canonically bi, had him fuck a (different) man, and is now poised to make the pairing canon after more than SEVEN SEASONS OF SLOWBURN. like: they are a pairing that started as a classic wink-nudge jokey queerbait, possibly nearly went canon years ago before that was shutdown, but now it is HAPPENING. and no, i'm not here for arguments that it isn't. i know better than is good for me, what queerbaiting looks like, and it DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS. i have been in like 15 different shipwars for queerbaited pairings. I am that fan who once went up to the showrunner of OUAT in a restaurant to tell him, personally, to his face, that queer fans like me deserved better. and now, eight years after that incident, the queer fans of an ABC tv show might just be getting that 'better'. like. what the fuck. how did we get here?
this is a phenomenon that has literally never happened once on live action american television, and we are all watching it unfold, whether actively or via the persistent ubiquity of fandom osmosis and i am studying this show and TPTB and the actors and the fans like BUGS
Yes of course mister doctor House
eddie in el paso right now: so the bill is taking forever and the game starts in like 45 minutes and buck knows nothing so he keeps getting distracted asking all these questions - we're running out of time. i slam down some cash and we run outside and boom: boot. he's totally clueless. like what the hell man, LA parking is four dollars to even consider parking somewhere, you thought you could park on the corner of a 4 way lane? haha yeah he's crazy. but we were already crunched for time, and he's starting to call his captain for advice, so i just changed the tire and left the boot there! haha. what if they had his info? what does it matter, they wouldn't say anything. he has a medal of valor
You don‘t understand I NEED to know what happened to Chris‘ room. I NEED to know.
Notably when Buck finally moves his stuff into Eddie's house, you see him decorating and moving his stuff in the Living room, and the Kitchen and setting up his (Eddie's) Bedroom but Chris' room remains entirely untouched
No cuz when he was saying „Just take my hand“ i kept screaming „no no no no no no you can’t do that to him, please you can’t just DO that to him, no no no NO - oh thank god.“
Did someone already talk about HOW PRESENT Buck 1.0 was in this ep?
"just grab my hand" the lady on the cross -> Devon
Bobby stopping Buck from smashing something : pipe baby's wall -> Elmer's door
No Eddie
Sleeping with people without having feelings for them
Living in someone he loves' house
Eddie's in El Paso trying to rekindle old friendships along with his relationship with Christopher. Some things may, or may not, be better left in the past.
Or; Eddie meets up with a friend from high school who provides him with some helpful insight into their past friendship as well as a new lens to view his current ones through.

Read on Ao3.
Bobby Nash dad through and through. only a dad repeatedly drops a bizarre piece of self lore that has somehow never come up in years and walks away. oh you were a childhood figure skating champion? oh your mom is a televangelist? and also not dead? your wife just found this out too? this is the guy whose known lore has a body count in the triple digits btw. I love Bobby so bad
Chim, struggling with a recipe: Eddie, can you Google how many ounces are in a cup? My hands are covered in flour.
Eddie: Sure, one sec. Buck!
Buck: Yeah?
Eddie: How many ounces are in a cup?
Buck: Eight.
Eddie: Thank you.
Chim: Now, what the hell was that?
Eddie: Six years, Chim. Haven't had to Google a thing.
Chim: Mmhm, why don't you ask Buck what the definition of codependency is next?
Buck: Thank you for having me, Diazes.
Helena: Friends of our son are always welcome.
Ramon: What's the big news you wanted to talk to us about, Eddie?
Eddie, holding Buck's hand: Mom, dad, I'm gay, and Buck and I are getting married.
Helena: What?!
Ramon: I didn't raise you to be like this!
Eddie: Funny, I didn't think you raised me at all.
Ok I need everyone to understand that Buck and Eddie are both products of their upbringing. Buck was a child of neglect, which led to him having abandonment issues. While Eddie was a child forced to grow up too fast, which led to him having hyper-independence. Two different kind of traumas. Two different kinds of trauma response. Which would require two different kinds of help.
Buck and Eddie help each other overcome these things and because they are two different kinds of problems, the way they help will ALSO be different. Ever since they met, Eddie has always been there for Buck (don't even fight me on this) and Buck has always given Eddie what he needs. It will look imbalanced, but it's really not. They both need SOMEONE in their lives, just in different ways.
Buck doesn't need someone to take over his lease, or to take care of his son, or to help him figure out childcare, he needs someone to Not Leave Him Alone. Eddie doesn't need someone to tell him he's not expendable, or to be reassured he's trustworthy, or to be promised he's not going to be abandoned, he needs someone to Give Him a Helping Hand. And the moment they became friends they have been those SOMEONES to each other.
They are each other's persons. Equally.
walk with me here…… eddie is fighting with his mother and she says “and that man you let hang around our grandson! he is clearly in love with you!” “buck is not in love with me mom” *scoffs* “okay”
please
