who else loves the best depiction of a healthy platonic male relationship on television BUCK AND EDDIE ❤️

bobby voice IM STILL ALIVE DOWN HERE

if the 118 is going into season 9 without a captain anyway i think they should let every character be captain for one episode. it could be so great. the return of nightmare captain han. ravi spending the entire episode terrified because he feels in no way qualified only to end up having a clipboard buck-esque ego trip at the very end. buck tries his best but every time he doesn't get to run headfirst into a fire he stands there looking like a dog left out in the rain like :( i cant believe all my friends are in mortal danger rn and I DONT GET TO JOIN :(((( eddie's actually kind of good at it but buck keeps getting so flustered by eddie ordering him around for Reasons He Cant Explain that he kind of forgets to do his job and then he gets so upset about not supporting eddie or whatever they have to call it quits. at the end hen is like well. i know i turned it down initially but i dont think theres anyone the department could possibly bring in with enough experience both as a firefighter and cultivator of our beautiful perfect codependent family dynamic so i will do the noble thing and step up (the entire thing was a scheme to make her realise this). btw bobby's alive for all of this he actually escaped the government lab in episode 1 but he's too busy sipping shirley temples on the beach with athena to get involved in any of it

Everybody just stop. Nobody is transferring out, and nobody is staying in Texas. This is our firehouse. This is the 118. And it's not just a number, it's us! You're right, Buck. Things are never gonna be the same again, because Cap is gone.

And leaving won't change that. It won't make you feel less, it just means you'll be sad all alone. Bobby died so that I could live, and it has screwed me up in ways I cannot fully express. But the truth is, he would have done that for any one of us.

You see, he knew that just coming in to work every day, there is a chance that one, or more of us would not make it home. And his job above everything else was to make sure that we did. And we are all standing here right now because of him!

This team, WE are his legacy! So we can miss him. We can mourn him. We can even curse his name, but we are NOT going to disrespect him by throwing away what he built RIGHT here.

im loving how 911 is very, very blatantly paralleling buddie with the main established married couple each episode. chimney completely supporting and being there for maddie, buck doing the same thing for eddie. bobby joking about athena not reminding him about hen’s birthday, buck doing the same with eddie. whether it’s support or just lighthearted old married couple behaviour, they’re doing it. and it’s so obvious. it’s so so obvious.

Also, if your reaction to Buck and Eddie's fight last night is to label Eddie an "angry man" but you put no such label on Buck after he purposefully slammed Eddie to the ground and then laughed about it with Tommy afterwards in 7x04, then you really need to think about why your read on both characters is so different. And I need you to really, really think about it if your reaction to Chim in 8x16 was also to think that he was suddenly this violent and scary person (which I saw).

Eddie did not hit or hurt Buck physically last night. But Buck literally sent Eddie to the hospital in 7x04. Eddie is currently grieving his father figure and mentor. In s7, Buck was jealous of Eddie and Tommy's friendship but was otherwise emotionally stable. And yet...Buck is still just a playful puppy who gets frustrated sometimes. But Eddie is an angry, abusive man who needs to get beaten up because he dared to put his hand on Buck's lily-white shoulder in anger.

You have to allow characters of color to experience and express the same dark emotions that you accept from white characters. When you say that Chim's outburst in 8x16 makes him unqualified to be captain while ignoring that Bobby has punched perpetrators and destroyed property at scenes in anger, you're creating a double standard. When you see Eddie get angry in one scene and write him off as an abuser but treat Buck's actual violent outbursts as understandable frustration, you are perpetuating harmful racist stereotypes that hold men of color to vastly different standards than white men. And you need to stop.

Eddie, returning from Texas: It's great to be back in this house, it's much more Home

Buck: sooo, uh, I did hook up with Tommy here while you were gone

Eddie: So we will be burning this house to the ground
