We’ve only seen Chris doing homework or even playing on his computer at tables and desks. For him to be on the couch here has to be purposeful.
Chris in the center, Eddie on the right, and a spot open for Buck on the left.

kind of insane about buck's couch and the whole metaphor surrounding it
because as i said a few days ago in the first episode of season six eddie equates buck's couch to his love life: 'the last two couches came with girlfriends', right? because taylor replaced buck's original couch with hers when she moved in, which could represent how she took over buck's life, and then took it with her when she moved out, leaving buck lonely and missing something and yearning to fill that hole. because if there's one thing we know about buck, especially this season, is that he wants a family. he wants to be loved. he wants to be needed. the couch represents that need.
and then during this domestic conversation with eddie and chris, buck expresses a concern about 'picking the right couch this time'. which clearly means he's going forward a lot more cautiously, looking for a serious relationship.
i think it's important to note that eddie and buck are around each other a lot in the beginning of this season. in subtle, domestic ways.
because, and i don't remember who he's talking to, i think it's either buck or eddie, bobby says something this season that i think is very prevalent to their relationship. take stock of what you have in life. appreciate what you already have. buck and eddie already have each other in every respect, they just don't realise it. buck especially doesn't realise it.
then buck has his little revelation and decides not to replace the couch. sticks to the armchair. thinks, i don't need anyone. i don't need to fill that yearning.
except it follows him. family. children. the biggest motif in season six is parenthood. and it's all buck wants. so after the lightning strike when his mother offers to buy him a couch, he's content. for a while. because he's filling some of those holes with familial love that he was always starved of. (let's not get into buck's parents and over-compensating for when he gets hurt i'm not ready for that conversation)
don't even TALK to me about buck going over to eddie's when he's sick of the company, because eddie doesn't count. he's not a guest in their home. he falls asleep on eddie's couch. something something things that they already have. a home that he already has. a yearning that could be filled if he just opened his eyes.
i think it's VERY IMPORTANT that kameron gives birth on buck's couch. has buck's biological kid that he is forced to give away. stains his couch. irreparably. he has to throw it out, the couch that his mother got him, just as he has to give away the baby.
now, buck suggesting he and natalia go couch shopping could be interpreted as this being a serious relationship. that buck is committing. taking that leap. picking the 'right couch'.
i do not see it that way.
i see that buck is shaken, he just got something that was important to him ripped away from him, tearing that hole wide open again. and this time it's extra painful because it's not a girlfriend, it's a child. i will maintain to my dying day that a child is all buck wants (and again, already has!! in chris!). this is shown over and over with how good he is with kids, with jee, how he's a schoolteacher in his dream, how he buys kameron and connor's kid that firefighter onesie. this is important to him, emotional, so he's left bereft. natalia is... there. buck recedes back into himself, back into old habits, and starts grasping. clinging onto someone, anyone. natalia was just there.
i think this will be very important in season seven especially considering the revelation buck had in his coma dream. that he is important. he is worthwhile. he has had a positive impact on everyone's lives. part of his character development now, as he learns to navigate this new confidence, should be that he learns to take what he wants. learns to let himself be happy. learns not to settle for less than he deserves.
i don't think he and natalia have that level of chemistry. i think this will be a harmful relationship for him, but ultimately a healing, learning experience.
so, my endgame for season seven!!! my ideal scenario, involving this very clearly thought out couch metaphor... is buck realising he doesn't need a new couch. realising that he's grasping for something he already has. a partner, a kid, a family. that he already has a couch. eddie's couch. and so he moves in with them and LETS HIMSELF BE HAPPY GODDAMIT-

I think the thing that is getting me most is that all of Buck's near misses so far he's still been conscious, talking, or we knew it wasn't serious. Even after the ladder truck we only had like maybe 10 seconds of 'oh shit he's really hurt' then he woke up in the hospital after the surgery. But this, we've never seen Buck so still, limp or lifeless. Our Buck is always bouncing, full of energy and just alive! Seeing him not moving, unable to call out for help or help himself really hit hard.

Ok, so here is something I love about the 6.04 Kitchen Scene (aka Chris Gets Caught):
It has been noted that both of our favorite Diazes are Kings Of Sass. Eddie is a petty, snarky bitch (affectionate) and he has passed his love of snark onto his son.
Up until now, we haven't really seen both Eddie and Chris at Peak Sass at the same time. The interesting thing about this kitchen scene is that we're starting to see how some of the patterns Eddie has fallen into as a parent are gonna become strained and need adjustment as Chris gets older.
The banter was still very light-hearted teasing, but you could kinda see how Chris is getting more opinionated and more willing to challenge Eddie's authority. And you can see, too, how Eddie kinda smarts at that. He responds to Chris criticizing the mayo selection by taking a (again, very mild and teasing) dig at Chris by saying "Great, I'm raising a condiment snob" and then tries to pull it back to a place of reassurance and love by saying "you're lucky you're cute". (Spoiler alert - Chris is quickly approaching the age where that's no longer something he wants to be)
And, like, the phrasing is so important here. Chris says, "YOU got the WRONG mayo". He doesn't say "why'd you get this one?" He doesn't say "Ugh, this one is gross." He tells Eddie he did something *wrong*, which activates Eddie's defenses.
Eddie has done a LOT of work over the past few years toward trusting himself as a father and believing that he is a *good* father, but through it all the one person who has never doubted how good a dad Eddie is has been Christopher himself. The relationship has been "this kid loves me and trusts me so much, and I need to prove myself worthy of the trust he has in me".
Even with the skateboard incident, the reason Chris was so upset when he felt like Eddie had lied was *because* he trusted and believed Eddie so implicitly. And because Eddie was able to level with Chris and find a solution, they were able to repair that trust very quickly.
As Christopher hurtles at lightspeed toward his teen years, he is gonna realize that Eddie is not always right by the simple virtue of being his dad, and for the first time it's going to be CHRISTOPHER telling Eddie he's not good enough at being a dad. And as much as that is a normal and healthy thing for Chris to be going through, it is going to dig directly into all of Eddie's deepest insecurities.
The thing about that snarky teasing way Eddie and Chris were talking to each other in the kitchen? Is that it is SO EASY to take it too far when feelings are hurt. So it will be interesting to see how Eddie navigates those types of conversations when that foundation of love and trust starts to get shaken by Christopher's growing pains....
(Also, ugh the parallels of Eddie and Ramon addressing the mistakes Ramon made as a parent decades after the fact and Eddie making mistakes as a parent but being able to recognize them and adjust while Christopher is still a kid? Immaculate. Gorgeous. Inspired.)

6.11
(I just finished it seconds ago so sorry if I get any details wrong)
Just as I was starting, twitter notif recced a 911 tweet. I don't go near 911 twitter so who knows why. Anyway, they were angry that Eddie wasn't in the dream and I found that weird. It's about how Buck changed their lives so of course Eddie isn't there. We *know* without Buck he would have been lost.
Eddie was his first real world memory. His annoyance at the suggestion that he went up a ladder without a spotter because *clearly* he had Eddie was obvious imo.
His next real world memory, the only thing he noticed from was a ferris wheel. Christopher and the tsunami. Showing us his 'loving family' in the alt world but the glaring problem is Christopher isn't there. His son.
And then what happened to 'Firefighter Diaz' and his son. Of course that makes sense. Angry Eddie, Eddie in the being struggled with his emotions and has no partner to turn to and open up. No Carla because Buck introduced them. An ugly custody battle with his parents because there was no Buck to help him through and do what Buck has always down. Christopher being raised by his grandparents, like Eddie specifically told Buck he never wanted.
Eddie's worst nightmares coming true because Buck wasn't there to have his back like they promised.
And then he's trying to leave his dream, it's Christopher he has to flatly deny and run from. Why? Because he knows that Christopher (and finding Eddie) is the thing that he could lose himself in and keep him there. His parents? No way, he liked seeing that version of him but he realised he didn't need it if he's OK with being himself. Buck even notes he'll feel guilty from the flat no. He *knows* they are his family with the real pull.
Arguably, it's easier to used Christopher to symbolise it because the father figure role came so naturally. It's not scary to take on but admitting Eddie is so much more *is* terrifying and that's why Christopher is a far safer avatar to symbolise the Buckley-Diaz family.
I know people got their hopes up about the couch stuff and this is a good reminder that speculation fun isn't a promise. And his parent make sense with the plot even if I do nor like them.
Eddie and Chris will absolutely be vital, Buck's PTSD makes sense to be Buck and Eddie contect because Eddie had his own PTS arc last year.
So, yeah, these are my initial reaction thoughts before I've seen any posts at all. Interested to see what everyone else thinks but yeah.
Also Eddie breaking the rules because Chris's bond with Buck is so important? Yes, thank you, we love to see it.

LOVE how Buck & Eddie's first big interaction in Season 6 is when Bobby sends Buck to help Eddie with the blimp (aka having his back, like he did in season 5, which was pointed out in canon as relevant).
The fandom is so busy worrying about the latest Kitchen Scene that you're missing the symbolism with the blimp rescue of Buck and Eddie trying to get where they need to be. (Buck: Lower me three feet, and then Eddie having to jump onto the ladder (just in time))
6x01 rocks because we get to see Buddie's work relationship and domestic partnership very clearly.

9-1-1 6x12 spoilers ahead!! :)

Okay. So the Buddie kitchen scene. They FINALLY talked about the shooting (which btw, I found it nice that when Buck asked about it Eddie just shared without hesitation even though it was definitely hard to talk about), and Eddie comforted Buck and told him the best way to process almost dying (so much character development for Eddie!!) and...
I mean. Earlier in the episode Buck was trying-- and failing-- to sleep on the couch Margret got for him, only to then go to Eddie for comfort-- almost as an escape from Hen and Josh and all the other people Maddie was sending over to the loft-- and literally fall asleep on *his* couch IMMEDIATELY.
I'm telling you all with full confidence. I have never believed in Buddie canon more than right now.

Okay, okay, another thing that's got me UNHINGED:
They seriously had Buck turn into a math genius right before Eddie Diaz starts dating again???
Like. We all remember that math cringe date with Ana. We remember Eddie coming home (!!!) to Buck (!!!), and him asking about Eddie's date, and him saying that they did math. And now Buck's (at least temporarily) a math genius. And Eddie loves it???
Like, first of all, I'm not judging anyone's kinks, but Eddie Diaz, you absolute freak!!! I love you with all of my heart, but seriously??? You get all kinds of vibrations from Venn diagrams and vectors???
Second of all, they seriously have all of that take place short before Eddie's supposed to revive the spark? He dresses up all nice and fancy and takes Buck out for secret poker games/math dates... and then he's supposed to do regular-ass dates again???
I mean, I feel like we've entered the when-all-fanfic-tropes-become-canon-then-what-phase with 9-1-1 in this episode. So why not go down the very unhinged road that Eddie's gonna *hate* going on regular-ass dates. Because he'd much rather hustle with Buck. Bake cookies with Buck. Or listen to him ramble on about math (because we now know what your kink is, sir!).
No, but now for real. Just how unhinged is all that? Someone (whose post I can't find right now!!!) pointed out that they seriously had Buck and Eddie wear similar clothes/colors like Eddie and Ana during the breakup scene. And we've now seen how much fun Eddie was having with Buck that's *not* just about Christopher. Like. I can feel the Buddie-canonesqueness in it all. They choose *yet again* to parallel Ana with Buck. That can't be accidental, c'mon.
To list only a few:
Buck in last season stating that he was Ana (when it came to Abby)
The costuming choices in the kitchen scene this episode
Ana teaching Eddie math on their date vs. Eddie taking Buck out to poker night to do math
Ana having baked all of the cupcakes with Christopher vs. Buck baking cookies with Christopher together
The timing of the baking scenes (for Ana: before Eddie broke up with her; for Buck: before Eddie potentially starts dating again)
That has to mean something. Right? Right??? We're solving the equation, right???
Okay, until we get more answers, this will be me:
Tumblr media
Cheers!

I still think one of Eddie's best badass moments is when the dispatch center is on fire and over the radio he tells Josh "you're dispatch, not a firefighter. Today you are a guest in this house" or something along those lines.
