something about eddie asking buck for help with dating advice for chris is actually so insane.
like ok yea “buck knows women” so you dont eddie ??
but what if the advice chris needs is how to tell his best friend that he likes her.
do you realize how. insane that would be.
also something about how that could be such a full circle moment with buck realizing he is in love with eddie because of the advice he gave chris about his best friend…

Anyways time to analyze this screencap
Tumblr media
This was originally a split second clip from the Bardel projects' reel, although it's since been omitted... and interacted with online by some of the team / cat's out of the bag, so uh - here's the meta!
The first aim is to try to establish when this is taking place timeline wise (aka in which season and when). The second will be who I think this scene involves (which is Rayllum and I'm gonna explain why). Spoilers for 6x01 thanks to previous Cons and proceed with caution if you don't want any spoilers!
So 6x01, "Startouched," has Rayla and Callum embark to the Starscraper by the end of the episode alongside Stella. This means they will presumably not be reuniting with anyone else from the Main Cast until at least the season's midpoint (6x05) if not later (6x07-6x08), by which point the plot will likely be in full swing, even if Aaravos was not released by the season's midpoint. That means there may not be as much time for something that seems like a cute little filler moment as this seems to be.
Not impossible, but I think it's unlikely that this shot/scene is from S6 from a plot / time standpoint.
Another reason in this column is that we know Hat at least, but presumably the other Baitlings too, are with Soren and Zym when they go to Lux Aurea to meet up with Corvus again.
Tumblr media
So there's no way, realistically, it could be in early season six. If it is in later season six, it means that Callum and Rayla succeed at the Starscraper / escape relatively unscathed enough with a small window between reuniting with the boys / Ezran and shit hitting the fan. It is a window, narrow, but not impossible
My early estimate could also be early S7 as, again, the latter half of the final season will be particularly intense, and I could see the characters trying to have some down time / make the best of a bad situation earlier on in the season when there's a bit more time, well, to let them try
As for the boat itself...
The first thing is that the boat is decorated quite prettily and prominently with roses, which just feels romantic. Stella is juggling and the Baitlings (who seem to be singing) seem to be putting on some small, endearingly silly sort of performance. possibly added by the two (Star arcanum?) birds we see. There's also a warm yellow-ish light source coming from the bottom of the picture and subsequently probably the upper middle of the boat, which makes me think of candles.
I'm willing to bet that this is a Rayllum moment since it just screams Callum being very sweet and romantic, and setting up this (maybe they have to take a boat and he wants it to be better, maybe it's just for fun) boat to try and distract Rayla because she doesn't really like them. I can't see Janai or Amaya being interested in a little animal circus performance, so that rules them out to me, and we hardly ever see Stella be separated from Rayla, even temporarily. So I think this being a Rayllum scene makes the most sense because of Stella's inclusion, and maybe it is Callum wanting to do something special for her, whether it's them officially getting back together, or just spending some time together even while the world is ending cause y'know, they missed out on two years of dates they could've gone on, and want to use some of the time they have left for that.
Stella is also juggling Adoraburrs, which have a tendency (presumably) to be primarily close to the Moonshadow forests, since we don't see the tiny ones anywhere else in Xadia, so it could even be a pit stop on the way back to the Silvergrove to get her and her family unghosted, perhaps (and all the more reason to try and take her mind off things).
My other consideration for a pair is Sorvus, since I could see Soren being silly and setting up the Bailting choir (he seems close to Hat in particular) and I think Corvus would be endeared by it, ultimately. That doesn't account for Stella though, and while Soren and Corvus are clearly friends/co-workers on the crownguard, they haven't had a lot of even teasingly romantic development, so I don't feel like the story is really gonna prioritize them heavily as a romance (especially because we have Karim/Miyana, Callum/Rayla, possibly Aaravos and someone in his past, Claudia/Terry breaking up and presumably getting back together, we're gonna get Runaan/Ethari back in these coming seasons in addition to Lain/Tiadrin, and there's always Janai/Amaya, of course). TDP already has a lot of romantic relationships in it, so I feel like Sorvus, if/when they do get together, would probably be a smaller moment later in the final two seasons, and they probably wouldn't get as big a focus as a scene like this seems to imply just from a pacing/character standpoint
Plus, Rayllum kinda has a thing with boats and important moments for them happening on said boats, but that is a meta for another day

Musing on Ryan & Oliver’s pre-s7 interviews at the premiere party
Oliver: They get to show up for each other in different ways. But they’re moving forward. There’s almost like potential for things to come up in not so great a light.
Ryan: Well there’s something brand new for both of us.
I would LOVE to see Eddie ‘moving forward’ coming out as gay  and Buck being completely thrown by it ‘something brand new for both of us’. Not because he’s not supportive, but the opposite – he suddenly becomes very aware that Eddie LIKES GUYS. And who is a guy? Buck is, of course. And apparently Eddie ‘loves him to his core’ – and Buck loves Eddie too, of course he does. But Buck isn’t gay. Is he? So off Buck goes on an internal spiral that naturally he doesn’t speak to anyone else about, especially Eddie.
Meanwhile Eddie, sweet baby gay Eddie, is feeling sensitive about coming out so late in life and takes Buck’s weird reaction ‘in not so great a light’ and that Buck is not supportive and thus we have some delicious angst between them both. Maybe even a fight and them keeping their distance (divorce era 2.0 yes please).
Oliver: But we get to see their friendship persevering. And them being there in ways that they don’t necessarily expect for each other.
Buck has his own bi crisis and I know we’re all excited about Tommy being part of either Eddie or Buck’s queer awakening but honestly, I would really like to see Buck turn to Hen and Karen about it. Hen’s been there for Buck for such a long time, she deserves to be the one to talk him through this, not some random throwback hottie. Perhaps Tommy flirts with Eddie which gives Buck the push he needs to talk to someone (Hen) about his confusing feelings and jealously.
Oliver: And I just think it’s a really lovely journey for them this season.
Hen, and possibly Maddie or others convince Buck and Eddie to Actually Talk To Each Other. This of course takes the rest of the season because let’s face it, after watching these two be oblivious about each other for 6 seasons, nothing is going to happen quickly.
I predict their last scene together in s7 will be one with the most meaningful eye contact we have seen yet, and perhaps them moving towards each other to kiss before it cuts, leaving us all hanging for s8 – but with confirmation that Buddie WILL become canon.
Eventually.

9-1-1 Speculation: Eddie & "You Don't Know Me"
Tumblr media
Song Lyrics to the song that the title of 7x05 is based on "You Don't Know Me"
You give your hand to me, and then, you say hello And I can hardly speak My heart is beating so And anyone can tell You think you know me well But you don't know me, no
No, you don't know the one who dreams of you each night And longs to kiss your lips And longs to hold you tight To you, I'm just a friend That's all I've ever been No, you don't know me
I never knew the art of making love Though, my heart aches with love for you, yeah I'm afraid and shy, I let my chance go by A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me, and then, you say goodbye And then, I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy I know you'll never know the one who loved you so No, you don't know me
But, I never knew the art of making love Though, my heart aches with love for you I'm afraid and shy, and I let your chance go by A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me And then you say goodbye And I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy Oh, you'll never ever know, yeah, the one who loved you so No, you don't know me
I say you'll never ever know the one who loved you so No, you don't know me No, you don't know me
I stand by the speculation that this song is referring to Eddie and his maybe already acknowledged feelings for Buck!!!! Especially after that still of Eddie possibly looking longingly? at Buck!?! I always loved the idea of Eddie being the one to realize his feelings for Buck first, I at least really hope that's what we get?!? Anyways there's another episode titled "Ghost of a Second Chance" I think?! Later this season and it really made me think of this song and the idea that it pertains to Eddie?!
Maybe Eddie did realize his feelings first and has been secretly in love with Buck and never said anything cause he didn't realize Buck was actually an option, but after 7x05 maybe he realizes Buck is one now but he's possibly taken?! So he continues to date Marisol - maybe even asks her to move in? And pretends with her whilst knowing full well he wants Buck?! And then maybe Buck and Tommy obviously date or casually hang out for a little while without any labels, but then maybe by the episode of that title "Ghost of a Second Chance" Buck and Tommy agree not to move ahead with dating each other?! Maybe Tommy says something about Buck being in love with Eddie?! Then Eddie finds out and realizes he finally has a "Second Chance?????!!!!!" I hope we at least get some kind of hint that the song does pertain to Eddie and his feelings for Buck?!
I am a Buddie girly through and through, I haven't been as excited as a ship going canon since Destiel, Hannigram, and Johnlock!! Even so, I wouldn't mind a longer temporary Buck and Tommy relationship as long as along the way we got big Buddie moments or some kind of big confirmation that Buddie was and is for sure endgame!!?!! I can see the season ending with a big Buddie moment but then maybe canon s8?? I wouldn't be mad about it. Not in the slightest. I am sooo excited but also nervous about what's to come!!

I just wanna say by using this post and searching the people in charge of the other episodes, I'm pretty sure ( 80%) it's gonna be a buddie related episode because of the golden trifecta listed in this "guide".
BM, TWong, and LB.
AM is also in charge of the triple B episode.
And there's also JJG, directing on the last of the three.
Also even when they're written platonically I believe the avtors play it romantically and that's where the disconnect happens I think.
They're obviously 'in love' but the show says it isn't.
The episodes also have been written by at least one of the people suggested in the guide above.
(this is all opinion so no pitch forks of it's not accurate!!)
Tumblr media
I love meta so some other blogs I'd recommend is:
@loveyourownsmiilee @canonicallyobserving911 @sevensoulmates
@stagefoureddiediaz (this is a must have because of the insane amount of work/research they've done and the details of stuff in the show. I can't wait to make shows and hang out in the costume department where I'm not supposed to be but semantics) 🤷🏾‍♀️
It'd be kind of hilarious if it's a flashback heavy episode where they use the buddie fans clips/moments for the realization/justification (for new viewers/deniers) while doing back and forth between cases and his realization.
Or it can swing another way to madney but I don't think it's really relevant (?) for something like that because there goes the groom is next so that's not it.
I believe there's gonna be like three acts for each episode. So whatever happens in Buck's episode will set the tone.
Because logically three acts, the premiere episode we finished first act already. So then next episode will be them at their worst or leading right into it at the last few minutes of the episode.
You don't know me, if it follows that formula, will be heart wrenching.
Because of the last ep, 6's name is likely they'll parallel each other's relationship.
Okay I'm done.

So I remember you saying that when tv studios are making their shows, nothing is left to chance and every decision they make is carefully put together, right? And when they first revealed the title for the fourth episode I didn't really knew it was the name of a song by Ella Fitzgerald, it's only recently that I read the lyrics of the song and it must mean something right? Because it's obviously a love/pining song.
Btw I was meaning to ask about your favorite Eddie/Buck moments that made you think "There's no way this is platonic" of course you don't have to explain in detail if you don't feel like it or don't have the time but it's always joy to read what you have to say about buddie 🙏😄
Hi there! Sorry for the delayed response! As typical of me, my opinion on episode titles is gonna be on the realistic side and this answer is kinda rambley. Obviously, episode titles reflect the content of what the episode will be about, but it isn't always exactly what it seems on the surface. And that's on purpose, we usually get episode titles in advance before the episode airs and they don't want it to spoil the entire thing (hence why I don't think "placeholder titles" like "henren begins" or "buddie begins" are real).
911 has been known to borrow some of their titles from well-known movies. Examples: "Love, Actually" -> "Buck, Actually", "Oceans 11" -> "Oceans 9-1-1". "Brawl in Cell Block 99" -> "Brawl in Cell Block 9-1-1".
They've also been known to copy super common phrases. Examples: "Careful What You Wish For", or "The One That Got Away".
They also use quite a lot of questions in the titles. Examples: "What's Next?" and "9-1-1, What's Your Grievance?" and of course a million 911 puns.
When it comes to song titles, that's a little harder to judge. Song titles often have common phrases like the ones mentioned above in them, so some titles could coincidentally overlap with song titles. One example is "Wrapped in Red" which is also a Christmas love song. Or they have episodes like "Love Is In the Air" where the song is also played in the episode ending montage. These are also just common phrases and don't necessarily have to be associated with a song.
"Buck, Bothered and Bewildered" is a bit of an odd case (as is "You Don't Know Me" but for a different reason), because it is undeniably the title of a very well-known song. But plenty of other shows have made use of the title and song in episodes before so it's not exactly unprecedented.
In my opinion, I don't think we should be taking the song lyrics themselves 100% at face value and expect them to translate point for point into the episode. That's just a bit unrealistic. BUT I do think the overall vibe of the song, and the general meaning of the phrase "bothered and bewildered" can be taken as a general idea of overall themes that will be explored in the episode, but not just for Buck, even though his name is titular this time. Episode titles almost always refer to the general themes that ALL prominent characters with arcs in this episode are feeling. So chances are it will apply to Athena, Chimney, and Eddie too. My speculation is likely that Chimney is also going to be confused by Buck's actions (and possibly something to do with Maddie) And Eddie will likely also be very very bothered and bewildered by Buck's actions and feelings in this episode. Maybe Tommy too?
I am fairly positive this episode will provide huge hints and steps in the right direction toward buddie canon. And I also want people to remember that characters DO NOT always have everything figured out. Just like normal humans, they can misunderstand their own feelings, not recognize the truth/gravity/context of their feelings, and even LIE (straight to the audience's face) about their feelings. Here is where learning how to (realistically) read subtext and not be afraid of it comes in.
As for "friends wouldn't do that" moments, well I think @useramor explained it best with their post here. ALL of buddie's moments could have a platonic reading to them, but it's the extra layers of desperation, hiding feelings unnecessarily, the lack of boundaries, the merging of entities, and the way they can never actually acknowledge or define their relationship in any true way, that makes almost all of their moments ALSO read as romantic. In my opinion, if writers want a moment to be read as entirely platonic with little to no room for romantic readings, there are ways to do so where at least most of your audience will understand. Instead, the 911 writers tend to place nearly all of buddie's interactions in a platonic-romantic limbo, and I personally think that's on purpose. Biding time, if you will.

Not to be that person that suggests Tommy is a bad guy (I absolutely love him to pieces!), but the fact that next episode is Tommy's last ep (I could be wrong?), and he wasn't in any clip of the bachelor party in the promo, could the guy standing behind Chim be Tommy?????

Why are they dressed up at the firehouse? (my theory)
TL;DR: Chief is going to run for mayor-Bobby is promoted as the new chief- Hen promoted to captain of the 118 permanently
The only time we've seen them dress up in their dress uniform is for either a funeral (Kevin) or for a passing probation celebration (Eddie). Now I would imagine dress wear would also be worn for any sort of commendation they'd receive for their hard work. But this is not something we've seen (although they deserve it) yet and honestly i don't think it would be a general like award for the team because the only thing that's been big enough to maybe warrant ceremony would be the cruise ship and the Chief would not give them a commendation for this. One because they went against orders and two because he's already stolen credit for it. Plus there at the firehouse and I feel like something like this would be done somewhere more public (like a city hall or something) but if the ceremony was only specific to one or maybe two people it would make sense it would be held at the firehouse. I'm also ruling out funeral cause I just don't think its that and theres no one to celebrate a probation with
I think it'll have something to do with the Chief and with Bobby. Now we know the Chief is gunning for the mayors job (politics oh boy) we've seen this in the way he's handled the incident with Hen (and the guys connections who he was protecting) and also in the way he took credit for the cruise ship rescue. Like Chief reeks of politics and so I feel like he's setting himself up to move into running for mayor (or any role within politics but Maddie made a comment about the Mayor soooo this is the path i'll choose) And I feel like Bobby is at the point in his career where moving up would make sense (I don't see him retiring ever). I feel like the chief has approached him and offered him the role of chief. I think they set up a ceremony with the ruse that Bobby will receive some sort of commendation for his years of service with the LAFD and so everyone has gathered for what they think is to celebrate bobby and it is just not in the way they think.
Chief announces he'll be running for mayor(moving to politics) and that in the transition period that Bobby will be being promoted to chief. Everyone is shocked but everyone is clapping and celebrating, Bobby get's up and makes a speech about his time at the 118, how they'll always be his family and that he's leaving them in good hands. Bobby then announces that Hen will be captain. This is a complete surprise as Hen wasn't expecting but then Denny, Mara and Karen appear and join in the celebrations as the news sinks in. Bobby steps down and says to Hen the job is hers only if she wants it and Hen accepts.
Also we get Ravi full time on the A shift as a fun little treat
Thanks to @buck-up-buck and @whollyjoly for letting me ramble. I also ramble in the tags XD

idk call me crazy i guess but i am not worried about miss marisol at all.
we have gone through A Lot worse.. we can get through this.
and if i am being super honest? i think it is important eddie does have something with her, even if that lasts or not. this is the first time eddie has chosen someone he likes and Not just for the sake of others (marrying shannon because she was pregnant, asking ana out because everyone told him to, going on dates because his pepa made him, etc)
and yea sure, he is still coming at it all wrong (literally bobby telling him about how he met athena and eddie saying "so you definitely weren't looking for it" and then the next second he sees marisol and says "this is exactly what i was looking for" oh diaz my love you are so, so repressed,,) but it is still a very important thing that he needs to have happen.
anyway, i don't believe it will last all that long, and it'll help him realize that love isn't something you find / go looking for, but it is something you build with someone else.
also think eddie needs to have a call similar to the gay couple gay in 'buck, actually' to really drive that point home

There's a chessboard in his dreams.
It doesn't show up often, but Ezran's dreams—or nightmares, he supposes, in this case—have always been reoccurring and strange. They're just more vivid and more violent, now that Aaravos is out. (Everything is worse now that Aaravos is out, now that Runaan is out, but Ezran doesn't blame his brother for either of them. He's not angry. Really.)
The chessboard isn't the one he grew up playing, coaxing his brother and dad and Claudia into games, the pieces painstakingly hand etched and with only the white ones painted. These ones are glossy, almost like glass, each piece having a perfect mirrored reflection of each other, like light and shadow.
And they're not knights or rooks either—but they are pawns.
The inside of the prison reflects the chess board, too, the glossy inside of a pearl even though it'd been smashed to pieces. It's what convinces him that this isn't real, that it's just a dream. (It can't be real. He won't let it be real.)
"Ah, King Ezran," Aaravos greets, seated in one chair behind the white set pieces. White always moves first—which makes sense. This game started centuries before Ezran was born. "How nice of you to join me."
Not that any of them have much of a choice, but Ezran takes a seat and grits his teeth. His crown always feels heavier here, even before he sees the way Aaravos picks up his pint-sized Callum and twirls him between his fingers.
"Are you and your dear brother fighting again?"
Yes, but—"Put him down," Ez growls out.
Aaravos raises a brow, but sets the game piece down on one of the white squares, next to a matching Rayla piece. "Not in the mood for games today, are you?" The Startouch elf steeples his fingers together, and nudges one of his frontline pieces forward across the board.
Then it's Ezran's turn, and he knows there's no point in delaying the inevitable, as he picks which piece to move forward.
The chessboard itself Ezran of the war maps he's been looking at lately, moving troops and people—sending his brother and their best friend off to dangerous locations, because they don't have a choice if they want to stop Aaravos and his corrupted Sun army. Ezran, as king, having to treat those he loves most like pawns.
"Your brother wouldn't sacrifice you for anything," Aaravos croons, once they're halfway through. Ezran's temple pounds, his figure of Aunt Amaya having already felled. His piece of Prince Karim is backed into a corner with nowhere to go; Aaravos has lost only small figures on his end—Opeli, Corvus, Barius—pieces he was never that interested in controlling in the first place. "How sad you can't say the same."
"Shut up!" Ezran snaps, because how dare anyone insinuate he doesn't love his brother? Because he does—no matter what, Ezran loves his brother—but he just doesn't love the way Callum does. His brother never does anything halfway; not magic or his fiery temper or his fiercely protective nature. He loves like an explosion, a super nova, a tidal wave.
Ezran has never loved like that. It's not in his nature. It's what makes him a good (miserable) king.
Ezran slams a piece down, not really looking, but knows in an instant he's made a mistake, because Aaravos grins, wide and sharp, like a cat about to eat a canary.
"Hm, not your best, little king," he says, and bumps a glossy monster-pawn up to where Callum lies. "Checkmate."
Ezran wakes up, clammy and hoarse, his throat tight and heart racing. Bait grunts from somewhere near his hip, the glow toad still asleep, and Ezran is careful not to touch him lest he wake him, and stares at the ceiling of his war tent instead.
He exhales, slowly, and gets out of bed to wash his face.
Tomorrow, he will be thirteen years old. He will give speeches at the crack of dawn and command troops and he and his brother, who's acting as one of his generals, will try and muddle through a conversation without arguing.
Ezran scrubs at his eyes and can't quite fight back the tears. But for tonight, in the privacy of the dark, he can be a little boy who's tired of losing.
He's so tired of losing.

9-1-1 Possible Symbolisms: (But could just very well be some major speculation!?!)
I wanted to get this out there before the new episode aired. I'm sure many of us have seen those new clips for tonight's episode and if not be advised - CONTAINS SPOILERS!!
During the emergency at the seminar where that man loses control of his limbs, Bobby tells Buck and Eddie to go up and help keep the man under control. The man pretty much chokes Buck and Bobby goes up to help but then I'm pretty sure the man grabs Eddie's groin or something?! It makes me wonder if this will be somehow symbolizing what's going on with both of them or in their lives?!
Maybe when it comes to Eddie, it has to do with him overcompensating in his relationship with Marisol or thinking with his d*** instead of with his head or heart?! Or even better, I've heard some people say what if he can't seem to stay aroused or whatever\performance anxiety or something?! I doubt it's that one, but it's a good one. Idk but I do think it has to do with his intimacy issues with Marisol possibly?!
Whereas Buck is being choked, too choked to speak - maybe that possibly relates to him having feelings for Eddie and knowing he does but he can't voice those feelings to Eddie, but it could also be him finding it hard to come out to Eddie. Which could end up leading to some misunderstandings!?!
I swear I was trying to go somewhere with this and point out how in some ways it could symbolize what's going on in Buck and Eddie's life but also with each other and Buddie in general but all I did was make a mess I think?! Lol. Oh well though, that's what I love about Tumblr. You can post things and ramble sometimes and not everyone will think you're extremely delusional or something. Just wanted to get some thoughts out there about the newer clips. It's most likely nothing and I'm probably grasping at straws, but one can think and theorize can't they?! Whatever happens though tonight, I feel like it'll be a fun episode, maybe even a bit awkward in a cute/cringy kind of way, but also pretty good. I'm so excited for it!!!

Eddie: Kicks the 3rd woman he’s dated out of his house because of repressed catholic guilt after avoiding having sex with her.
Buck: absolutely flailing as a baby disaster bisexual and sending his date running for the hills before they even finish their meal.
Chris, “out of town” somewhere, sitting on a curb and smoking a cigarette: Jesus Christ, these two fucking idiots…
