I’ve been thinking a lot about how all of the relationships/couples in 911 who got together over the course of the show have deeply developed characters on both sides of the partnership. Bobby and Athena are both main characters, and they are “the one” for each other. Same with Chimney and Maddie. I don’t fully consider Maddie a main character, because she doesn’t have a “begins” episode, but on the other hand, we have gotten more than one multiple-episode storylines surrounding her. My point is, with Bobby and Athena, you cannot remove either character easily and have the story continue on the same way. The same goes for Maddie and Chimney. There would be consequences, fallout, and it would alter the story in major ways. Maddie and Chimney (if i remember correctly) went through a rough patch, but neither were written off the show because they are characters in their own right, not just a main characters partner.

I have more thoughts but i’m putting a cut here to save you from having to read if if you don’t want to

Buck has been in the most relationships, which is meant show he’s young and not ready to settle down. His first relationship was Abby, and she’s kind of the exception to his usual pattern of one-dimensional love interest. She had a storyline, and it was rather compelling, she was pretty much the main character of season 1. However, when push came to shove, she was written off, and her absence, while deeply affecting Buck, does not alter the course of the show in any major way. The overall format of the show does not change, and we aren’t missing a perspective in the story.

After Abby, Bucks relationships start to become very one-sided in terms of development. Ali is barely memorable. She was very easily dropped from the story with no consequences, barely even any for Buck.

Taylor is an interesting case, because while she definitely was not a main character, she definitely had her own personality, desires, wants, fears, and needs. She was also a character from earlier in the show who they brought back later I think they tried to dig deeper into her as a character, and I honestly think she could have stuck around after her and Buck broke up because I think she would be a fun character to have pop in every once in a while. She has her own distinct purpose in the story, however, the show can still go on without her. I actually did like Taylor as a character, and her and Buck were cute together sometimes, but they were so obviously not meant for each other

Natalia is not really worth mentioning. We know nothing about her other than her career (a pattern with Bucks partners). The relationship was very short lived.

Now we get to Tommy. I will say Tommy is hard to judge just yet because him and Buck are very new. He is also a character from the past that has been brought back. We don’t know a whole lot about him, other than he used to be in the 118, Buck likely replaced him when he left, he was in the army, and he has a cool job (shocker!). Him and Buck seem sweet together, but i’d say we’ve gotten about as much content of them being a couple as we did with Ali and Natalia combined. However, he does serve a purpose in the story which is to help Buck to discover himself. Whether he will be more than that is still up in the air. I’m not saying he’s just a plot device, I do like this arc that they’re doing, I just haven’t seen anything yet to show that he’s a character in his own right and not just Bucks newest fling.

Now for Eddie. His first relationship is not really an exception to the established pattern. We learn about Shannon in the past tense, and when they get back together briefly, we still know very little about her. We know that on paper her and Eddie are married, that she has or had a sick mother, that her and Eddie were teen/YOUNG parents, and that her and Eddie have a very rocky relationship and they only work well together when they’re having sex. She dies, which, while it is definitely a plot line, and she does haunt Eddie’s life all the way up to the current season, the loss of her doesn’t alter the way the show plays out.

Then we have Ana. We know her job (duh), that she’s latina/hispanic, that she’s a teacher at Christopher’s school and later is a principal. I honestly think she was a sweetheart, and just a kind soul. I think that she deserved a little bit better than Eddie treated her, and he clearly wasn’t ready for the level of relationship they became. Still, she’s not a character that stands on her own. Take Eddie and Chris away, she doesn’t have a story of her own.

Then there’s Marisol. Marisol honestly is the most one dimensional girlfriend character. We actually don’t even know her job (this is actually shocking), we do know she used to be a nun and Eddie feels weird about it, and shes shown to get along with Chris. Other than that, she’s kinda nothing.

Kim is the last one. Literally all we know about Kim is that shes identical to Shannon and she works at a store. I am interested to see how the Kim thing plays out because I think it’s an interesting extension of Shannon’s ghost kind of following Eddie around.

The only partner of a main character who isn’t a “main character” outside of Buck and Eddie’s relationships is Karen. However, her and hen were together before the show started, and we have gotten several deep dives into their relationship including a “begins” episode dedicated to them, so I can conclusively say that Karen doesn’t fit into the pattern.

To simply, think of 911 as a house on stilts. You have all the main characters as a stilt or a support beam holding that house up. If Athena and Bobby were to break up, and Bobby were to be written off the show in a Ali/Taylor/Marisol fashion, not only would it be a horrible choice, but the house that is 911 would crash down. On the flip side, if you take away Tommy, that’s like taking away the door. Yeah, now the house is not really functional, but it’s a much easier fix than building a whole new house. The writers of the show have a habit of not putting any effort into Buck and Eddie’s partners. It’s so obvious from the audience perspective when you look back on it, that none of those relationships were meant to last. They do a horrible job at hiding how temporary they are.

If you read this far into my ramblings, I’m sorry. You didn’t have to do that. you get a gold star. i’ll give it to you later i promise.

I’m sure there is a parallel that can be made with Athena’s “Don’t go chasing waterfalls…” and all Bucks hookups/failed relationships (until this one of course 😏) you know… if you look hard enough.

AEW Collision 4/13/24

Claudio and Danielson promo. Danielson mentions Moxley winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and I gag. Danielson says Callis told Hobbs and Fletcher they don't even have to beat them, they just have to hurt them. That's funny, because it's easier to beat them than it is to hurt them. Claudio says they have been succeeding all around the world for 20 years. It isn't about what they do in front of the camera, it's about the work they put in behind the camera that allows them to make this look so easy. Danielson says violence is their specialty, and they will show that tonight, Wednesday, and next Sunday when he beats Ospreay.

House of Black vs. Dante Martin, Action Andretti, and Matt Sydal --Matthews powerbombs Sydal on Black's knees. Sydal lands a nasty poison rana on Matthews. Top Flight and Sydal try to chop HOB down with superkicks. King lays out Sydal with a huge lariat, but Dante breaks up the pin with a splash off the top. Black lands a nice moonsault off the top to the outside. Andretti with a somersault senton, Dante with a springboard 450, and Sydal off the top with double knees on King, but King catches Sydal. Corner cannonball senton from King and double sliding dropkicks from Matthews and Black on Sydal at the same time for the pinfall.

Good, fast-paced opening match. Nothing amazing. Rating: 3

Storm is backstage with Lexy. AZM wants Storm to kiss her bottom? That makes her and a thousand other perverts. I LOL'ed at her delivery of that line. Incredible. She is going to give AZM a beating so intense that it will be featured in a fetish periodical. Lmaooo. Go off, Toni.

Katsuyori Shibata vs. Lee Moriarty -- Great start on the mat. Shibata with a Figure Four. They roll outside, and Ogogo gets up from commentary and lands a cheap shot to Shibata's ribs. Moriarty lays in elbows to Shibata, who just walks into them, backing Moriarty across the ring. Shibata with hard strikes in the corner, then a butterfly suplex for two! Moriarty with an abdominal stretch, but Shibata reverses into one of his own. Shibata with a knee strike, a saito suplex, and a boot to the face. Moriarty with a boot of his own. They trade boots! Shibata gets the best of it with a big pump kick!Shibata blocks a Fang attempt, then lands the ripcord bitch slap and a PK FROM HELL!!!!! Cover! 1, 2, 3!!!

This rocked. Shibata looked so damn good here. I literally yelled out loud at that ripcord palm strike/PK from hell combo for the finish. What a wrestler, man. I feel so lucky every time I get to see him do his thing. Thank god for a singles win on AEW TV for Shibata. Moriarty held his own, looking very good as well. Rating: 3.5

Ogogo, Moriarty, and Taylor attack Shibata after the match. Hook comes out to make the save!

Athena and Billie Starkz are with Lexy backstage. Athena says she understands that Red Velvet is a threat, but Athena is the fallen goddess and the forever ROH champion, and tonight, she is going to make an example out of Velvet and show the world what they've been missing. Athena is a great, confident promo. Good stuff.

Undisputed Kingdom are with Lexy. Lexy asks if Wardlow has helped Roddy succeed. Roddy yells LEXY!!!!!! Lmao. Roddy asks how she could give credit to anybody but him. He is a fighting champion and a giving champion. Does she see the opportunities he's given to these people who don't even deserve it? He has been doing it on his own, just like his good friend Kyle O'Reilly, who has inspired him. Tonight, he is putting on a show. You know what that show is called? The beating of a lifetime. WOOHOO!!!! TELL 'EM, RODDY!!!!!! NICE!!!!!!!!!

Daniel Garcia vs. Angélico -- They trade some beautiful pinning combos to start. Garcia with a Figure Four, but Angélico turns it around, then they turn it around on each other repeatedly until they roll to the ropes to break. They trade kicks to the knees. Huge right to the face by Angélico!!! Garcia lands a beautiful neck breaker, then a big double underhook suplex. Garcia with big overhand chops, then a belly to back suplex, then locks a knee/leg lock in deep for the submission!

This was short, but I still enjoyed it very much. Garcia rocks. Rating: 3

Pac promo!!!!! Let's go!!! Believe it or not, he would like to thank Okada, not only for accepting his challenge, but for walloping him on the head with a big, dirty lump of steel. Now he has a perpetual headache that serves as motivation to remind everybody exactly who he is. He may not be tall and handsome, he does not own a Ferrari. Okada may think he's god's gift to professional wrestling, but he's not, he's crap. And what Pac is, is better than Okada. And in St. Louis, he will relish the opportunity to prove it in front of the entire world. HELL YEAH, PAC!!!!!! GO OFF!!!!!!!!

Toni Storm vs. AZM (AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator) -- Elbows by AZM, but Storm laughs them off. AZM fakes another elbow, but stomps on Storm's foot instead. Shoulder tackle by Storm takes AZM down. AZM with rapid kicks and a dropkick, then a boot to the side of Storm's head on the mat, then a double stomp to the midsection! AZM goes to the top, but Storm stops her with an overhand chop to take her down, then lands a hip attack to take her off the apron to the floor. AZM throws Storm into the steps, then lands a running kick to the face on the apron, then lands missile dropkick off the top inside. Storm with a big boot to take AZM down, then chops in the corner, then hurls her across ring, then stands on her head, then lands a back suplex for two. The trade strikes!!! Enziguri by AZM! Headbutt by Storm! Head scissors takedown by AZM!! Another big enziguri to the head by AZM with Storm on her knees!!!! Damn! Leg-trap German suplex by AZM! AZM lands a big dropkick off the top for two! Storm with a sit-out chokeslam/powerbomb for two! Storm goes for a German suplex, but AZM blocks it and catches Storm with a beautiful pinning combo for two! AZM goes for a kick, but Storm catches it and dumps AZM on her head with a German suplex, then lands a hip attack in the corner, then lands Storm Zero for the pinfall!!!

That kind of slapped?? AZM rocks, Storm was great. Awesome, hard-hitting, back and forth here. Loved it. Rating: 3.5

Storm and Mariah celebrate with champagne after the match.

Red Velvet is with Lexy. She says tonight she is laying Athena out. She is not a stranger to main events or high profile matches. She is going to show Athena and everyone else why it was a mistake for Athena to come into her house.

Mark Briscoe promo. He says he is starting to understand the MO of the HOB, how they try to strike fear in the hearts of men. But he fears no man. He, Kingston, and Copeland are violent men. And at Dynasty, they are bringing the violence.

Thunder Rosa is with Schiavone on the stage. She thanks the people for making her comeback so special. Rosa says she does not need Purrazzo's help to win her title back. She has done so much on her own. She thought Storm believed in the same principles of hard work. She says her body couldn't carry her as far as her passion, and she had to give up her title to heal. And a part of her died that day. She didn't leave here because she couldn't carry the weight of the title. At Dynasty, she will carry the title and the pride of her people and the support of her family. And if she has to break every bone in her body to uplift the women in the lockerroom, then she will. Storm made a big mistake in trying to erase the mask on her face, because Storm doesn't want to see what is underneath. She can't kill what is already dead. She is coming for the title and coming to drag Storm's soul to hell. Damn lol.

Purrazzo with a backstage promo. She says it's fine if Rosa doesn't want her help. She will help herself. When she went after the title, it wasn't personal. It was because Storm doesn't embody what it means to be champion, but she does. She challenges Mariah to match.

Fletcher and Hobbs are backstage. Fletcher says they are on a mission for the Don Callis Family to protect the golden goose. Hobbs says tonight, the Callis Family expects a hefty fine, and Danielson will not be able to walk out on his own.

Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli vs. Kyle Fletcher and Powerhouse Hobbs -- Fletcher and Hobbs jump the BCC before the bell. Danielson with round kicks to Fletcher outside, then hurls Fletcher over the barricade into the crowd. Claudio and Hobbs trade shots in the ring. Claudio hangs Hobbs over the top rope, Danielson lands a knee to the back of Hobbs' neck off the top. Claudio with a running uppercut in the corner to Fletcher. Fletcher with a big running kick to take Claudio off the apron to the floor. Fletcher locks in a sleeper on Claudio, but Claudio gets to his feet and muscles Fletcher up for a gut-wrench suplex to escape!! Nice! Tag, and Danielson lands a shotgun dropkick off the top. Danielson lands a big running lariat that takes Fletcher down, then round kicks to the chest, but Fletcher ducks an attempted kick to the head. Fletcher shoves Danielson into the ropes, and Danielson swings on the middle rope into a dropkick on Hobbs outside, then comes back around to land the round kick to Fletcher's head inside!! Danielson goes for a topé, but Hobbs catches him and slams him back-first on the apron! Danielson sends Hobbs into the ring post, then lands a running knee off the apron on Hobbs.

Fletcher with a running boot to Danielson's face outside. Then Claudio lands a running uppercut out of nowhere on Fletcher! Claudio sends Hobbs over the barricade with a running uppercut. Danielson lands round kicks to Hobbs in the crowd. Danielson takes Fletcher back to the ring. Fletcher lands a vicious running kick in the corner and a brainbuster on Danielson for two! Fletcher with big chops to Danielson outside. Fletcher peels back the mats on the floor and goes for something, but Danielson reverses with a back drop on Fletcher on the floor! Hobbs gets Danielson on his shoulders for something inside, but Claudio stops it with an uppercut to the back of Hobbs' head! Hobbs lands a lariat to send Claudio outside. Danielson lands a belly to back suplex on Fletcher off the top for two! Danielson immediately grabs the LeBell lock, but Hobbs breaks it up.

Hobbs and Claudio tag in. Claudio with rapid-fire uppercuts to Hobbs, then alternating running uppercuts to Fletcher and Hobbs in opposite corners, then a lariat to send Fletcher over the ropes to thr outside, then does the Giant Swing on Hobbs, then locks in the Sharpshooter on Hobbs! Fletcher comes in with round kicks to Claudio to try to break the hold, but Claudio holds on!!! Ah!! Danielson comes off the top, but Fletcher catches him out of midair with a superkick! Claudio lands a pop-up uppercut on Fletcher! Hobbs lands a spinebuster on Claudio for two! They all trade shots in the middle of the ring! Fletcher with some huge chops to Danielson!!!

Danielson lands an aggressive topé to Fletcher outside!!! Claudio lands a DVD on Hobbs for two! Hobbs and Claudio trade lariats, Claudio lands an uppercut, then a huge running lariat for two! Hobbs with a backdrop, but Claudio lands on his feet and runs the ropes! Fletcher grabs Claudio's leg from outside, and Hobbs lands a World's Strongest Slam on Claudio, but Danielson breaks up the pin!

Hobbs grabs a chair, but the ref takes it. Danielson lands round kicks to Hobbs outside, but Fletcher comes flying out of the ring with a topé to Danielson!! Fletcher and Hobbs clear the announce table! Hobbs backdrops Danielson, but Claudio lands a huge running uppercut to Hobbs! Claudio lands a hurricanrana off the announce table on Fletcher, sending him into the apron!!!! Geez! Claudio then rolls Fletcher inside and lands the Neutralizer for the pinfall!!!

Oh my god, what a match!! Just crazy, chaotic goodness without stepping too far outside the rules of tag team wrestling. It felt like the violent match it was set up to be, with Fletcher and Hobbs acting as Callis' mercenaries. Fantastic, intense, crazy action from start to finish with all four guys looking incredible. I think it would have meant a lot more for Fletcher and Hobbs to get a win here. But I get it, and it is what it is. Rating: 4

Takeshita attacks Danielson after the match, and lands a nasty brainbuster on the ramp!!! Nice!!!!!!!!

I saw a post the other day about someone being pissed that people were calling Eddie gay instead of bi only because they couldn't handle more than one bisexual person on a show. Now, I didn't make Eddie gay/demi, he was born that way, BUT it got me thinking, because the whole crew feels very fruity? SO, I want to get your guys' opinions on what you think the rest of the characters are. (JUST the characters. We're not speculating on the actors. We all know this.) I'm going to put mine below & I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts :) These are by vibes only. As a definite demisexual and probable bi woman, idk how great my gaydar is, but sexuality is a spectrum & straight isn't the default, so let's go!!

Bobby - 0% fruity. That is a straight, middle aged white man (affectionate) if I've ever seen one.

Athena - Also straight.

Chim - Chim feels very straight to me, but that scene with the bachelor had me peering at him a little closer, because I've never watched the Bachelor, but it looked like Joey (I think that was the bachelor's name, right? I've never watched a single episode of that show so I have no idea) had been around before, so I couldn't tell if he was like, starstruck, or "Wow that's a pretty boy and it's making me feel things" -struck 😂

Maddie - I don't get many vibes from her either, but I also have a vague fic idea of Madney breaking up in s4/s5 and her ending up with Shannon instead, so idk, maybe she's just unlabeled but somewhere on the spectrum of queerness?

Shannon - Bi vibes

Taylor Kelly - 100% bi, I refuse to hear any other argument.

Lucy Donato - This is a pansexual woman if I've ever seen one, you cannot convince me otherwise. (Also, the most interesting AND likable of Buck's female LI's, argue with the wall. Lucy, they'll never make me hate you bby 🩷💛💙.)

Lena Bokso - Lesbian vibes, for sure. I don't think there was ANY romantic undertones with her and Eddie (Which, I'm not saying that's the only reason I think she's a lesbian. She can like men and not like Eddie. Even if she did, Eddie wasn't in a place to do anything with those feelings, but I saw a post about that pairing recently & wanted to throw my 2 cents in)

May Grant - May also gives off queer vibes, and I've seen other view her as full wlw, but I think she gives off more bi/pan vibes?

Ravi - This man is soommmeee kind of queer that I just cannot put my finger on. I've seen him HC'd as gay, pan, & ace in some way, and I can honestly rock w/ any of the 3 of them. All I know is that he is not a straight man lol.

Albert - Also unsure about him, but if someone were to tell me that he was bi, I could definitely see it. I think that's influenced by the fic that had him, Ravi & May in a throuple, which was genuinely so cute.

Ana - Dr. Flores doesn't give off queer vibes for me, but that could be bc she was criminally underdeveloped & we know practically nothing about her.

Natalia - See above ^^

Ali Martin - Same ^^ although I could see her just being queer and not being more specific than that. Maybe she's straight, who knows. I literally forgot about her until I was looking up actor/actress names 😂

M*risol - straight & homophobic lmfao

Abby - Literally could not care less about her, but I wanted to include her so I could talk about her possibly being Tommy Kinard's ex-girlfriend and her coming back to LA for whatever reason and finding her ex-boyfriends happy & having totally forgotten about her predatory ass.

Also, obviously not speculating about any of the children, bc they're still children, even if they're fictional. It's icky.

I think that's all the main/reoccurring characters that we don't already know about, let me know if I missed any.

Talk about being the gay firefighter show, how accurate lmfao.
