ik im in the minority but. i dont want a bobby relapse. fine if he comes close! if he struggles! but i dont want a full relapse. not for captain dad.

eddie to ramon: ... why you were never around eddie to buck: how could you, you're not around

buck is patching up the hole in eddie’s bedroom bc he’s gonna break up with taylor (final straw, obv) and he’s gonna need a place to stay but they can’t share a bed bc #nohomo so first they have to get a bunk bed, except if buck’s going to be living there then they need to fix the wall bc he will NOT live in anything that resembles the frat house from season 1--

no bc like. eddie missed his dad, right. and when buck was off limits during the lawsuit, chris missed his d-

do u ever just think about 911 and the incredible stories they've told and the sheer number of people you've met because you decided to watch it one day?

do u ever think abt how many people decided to get back into art, writing, reading, and so much more because of one tv show?

have u stopped and taken a step back lately, taken in the scope of the show from its inception til now, and just... appreciated how much love and growth and connections have been made; not just the characters, but the show itself, how its not only grown legs but started to walk?

i feel like ive said it a lot, and seen it said, that 911 isnt just a show to me, and in these post-season-finale days it's like it's being drilled into me. whether or not you like every single plot or character arc, you really can't deny the amount of thought and care has gone into these characters.

i mean, just the fact we got an eddie begins before a buck begins - that they were willing to postpone one of these foundation episodes for a character who's been there from the start, simply because they wanted to do it justice - to me that just shows how much attention they give to these characters in the writers room. it's not a single episode that matters, it's all of the episodes, the experiences that shape and inform these characters and bring them to life on screen

and im going to get on my soapbox here for just a second but... if you cant see that? if your sole enjoyment of this incredibly crafted show hinges on whether two people get together? if you have to go running to any blog that will listen just for some reassurance that someone else out there has doubts?

man, idk how to tell you this, but maybe you should take a breath. try to remember what you liked about the show before you shipped anyone at all.

ok now im hopping off my soapbox and if i get any anons questioning my ships ill direct u to my ao3 tyvm

BUT I WAS SO CAUGHT UP IN THE BUCK GOING OVER THE CLIFF OF IT ALL, I DIDN’T STOP TO CONSIDER BOBBY GOING OVER THE CLIFF-

see the problem is, taylor’s a shark and there’s blood in the water

chim saying ‘because you did her assessment’ like it’s not even a question, he knows and trusts hen’s abilities so much he’d quadruple down on it. need me a friendship like that-

i just sat here fucking screaming at my screen for bobby to pour it out oh my GOD i’m so happy

whEN DID YOU TWO KISS?

now buck’s gonna know how it feels to have someone he loves run back into a fire on borrowed time

they didnt play starting over by chris stapleton episode RUINED

i literally call dibs on that ramon/buck parallel nobody else is allowed to gif it

me hitting close window the literal SECOND the og stream ends

god i just. exactly how tight was buck gripping eddie’s wrist while they tried (and failed) to lift that truck off of him?

do you think, after everything was said and done--buck wheeled off into surgery, the scene cleaned up and cleared out--did eddie go home to an empty house?

did he put on his sweats like usual, sit down at the edge of his bed, reach over to put his watch on the nightstand, and finally see bruises in the perfect shape of buck’s finger prints?
