neethu! as a the rookie fan who is on the edge about watching 911 (mainly bc i am a scorned fan of old ryan murphy shows and have trust issues), i pledge for you to sell me on 911/buddie because i truly need a new summer binge watch that won’t suck my energy dry 🥲

omg becca i can promise you that i'll make it my personal mission to get you into 911 asfdkdld 😌 so, here's why you should absolutely binge 911, coming from a completely unbiased, objective perspective, of course 😌😌

an amazing ensemble cast with really, really talented actors

a group of characters who slowly come together to find their family in each other and they love each other so so much. also the very first episode starts off with the hilariously ironic line—"this is not a family." to really hammer in the famous last words of it all :) now let's get into the characters.

howard "chimney" han — amazing paramedic, manages to be the funniest character on the show while having deep-rooted abandonment issues and trauma, is probably immortal because he has survived things that should have killed any other person

bobby nash — Dad™. the daddest of all dads. best redemption arc ever; has a beautiful journey of realizing that he wants to live. he was born to be a husband and a father :) amateur detective. looks like the sensible one, but he can be just as dumb as the rest. he loves his wife <33

hen wilson — probably the smartest character on the show, and knows everything about everything. she's married to a rocket scientist :)) she is an incredible firefigher paramedic, best friends with chimney (they're platonic soulmates fr) and she looks like she holds the braincell but she will join in on the shenanigans with the rest of the characters in a heartbeat (see: season 6 where she went dumpster diving with chimney to look for a lost ring).

evan buckley — the little brother of the group. he's an ass in the beginning but he gets better i promise. himbo with a heart of gold, he loves kids. he uses recklessness as a means of coping with his deep-rooted childhood trauma. nearly dies every single season. he looks at bobby as a surrogate father. he loves his sister so much. he's in love with his best friend but shhh he's still figuring that out. he loves his best friend's child like his own :)

maddie buckley — give her a break™ she's been through SO much, but came out kind and compassionate and stronger than ever. she's a 911 dispatcher and she's amazing at it. she loves her little brother and basically raised him when they were kids. she's an amazing mom, even if it takes her a while to accept that, and she loves chimney han with all her heart.

athena grant — angela basset does an amazing job with her character; she has some of the best emotional and action moments on the show. she's a cop, unfortunately :( she's best friends with hen, she's a great mom to her two kids and has a really compelling friendship with her ex-husband. she is definitely the one who holds the braincell while everyone else gets up to their dumb shenanigans.

eddie diaz — the love of my life he's an ex-army medic, now a firefighter and above all, a father. he loves his son, christopher, so much. he has also nearly died on multiple occasions, and in season 5, has one of the most beautiful arcs i've ever seen working through his trauma. he had an extremely complex relationship with his wife, shannon. he's come so far in terms of character development. and he's deeply in love with his best friend but by god he will not admit it :)

and as for the other reasons why you should binge the show? the emergencies are absolutely insane and entertainingly unrealistic (there was a tsunami in los angeles). the show knows how to intermix comedy and tragedy in a way that will give you whiplash and have you sobbing. it deals with some very adult, realistic conflicts. it loves to emphasize on the innate goodness of human nature. none of the characters are perfect and have all fucked up badly at some point, but they keep trying. it's a show about second chances :)

OH and since you asked about buddie, well. if you like: a) co-workers who started off disliking each other falling into a deep friendship b) two characters who are partners in every sense of the word, who practically share the same mind c) a ship that has multiple break-up scenes without even getting together d) two characters who are practically co-parenting a child but can't see it e) two characters who go absolutely berserk when the other is in danger f) two characters who act more married than most married couples — then buddie is the ship for you! and honestly, if you like chenford, then you will definitely like buddie sjdkdkd there's a reason i've done at least 4-5 gifsets paralleling them

anyway, this is my official pitch! if you ever actually decide to watch the show, my humble request is that you let me know what you think afterwards 😌

come talk to me!

How do you think the family would react to a Camilores baby? With an aged up Camilo of course

Ohhh camilores is such a nice ship thank you for this ask anon!!

Mmm i think any inc3st baby would be a cause for drama 😭 i see Camilo as knowing very well when it's the time to be silly and fuck around, and when it's time to be serious, mature and responsible. I think he'd be a very sensitive and sweet partner to his sister, always keeping her wellbeing in mind - he knows her power is painful and difficult to deal with - and taking care of her. He totally learned that watching their parents btw. He takes after Pepa physically but he's patient and sensitive like his dad. He sees him take care of his mother and wants to be like that, and he's doing such a good job that Félix can't help but see himself and Pepa in Camilo and Dolores' interactions - I think Pepa would be too blinded by fear, anger and disgust initially, but she could maybe come around in time. I do think a baby being involved may soften her up to it a little, especially if she found out about their relationship earlier, and already had time to be shocked and horrified, so now she's coming down from that spike of panic, and, well, a baby means they're serious about this, right? She expected their relationship to be a dumb, weird, gross game they would grow out of eventually, she didn't even consider it an actual relationship, but now her daughter is expecting, and both she and her brother look so happy... if their relationship with Pepa is strained atm I think she may want to get closer to them, because she wants to be a part of the new family they're building. Ironically, a camilores baby would help lol.

If she found out about camilores because of the baby, it would be much different lol ajsjjd the whole family freaks tf out. I think Bruno, Julieta and Mirabel would be like "wait no let them explain" because they're sure there's more to the story than what they got to say before the shouting and thundering started, but now Pepa is screaming, Abuela is yelling at them, Félix is trying to keep Antonio out if it etc etc. Bruno and Mirabel are probably getting yelled at too lmao, because those two don't have rights 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 so Julieta is the only one who can like calm everyone down and point out that Dolores is hurting, which is true, between the stress and the noise she's wincing, covering her ears, squeezing her eyes shut etc while Camilo tries to comfort her.

It's a disaster. The family wants to keep them apart, but lol a little too late for that isn't it? If Camilo weren't her brother, he'd be expected to stay and take care of both her and the baby. You can't just unmake the baby. I mean they probably could but idk if they'd have the tools, or if they're ideologically in agreement with those practices, because let's be honest, this is 1950 catholic rural colombia but also stuck in 1900, I see it very unlikely that like, Julieta and Isabela are out there handing magical herbs and stuff to perform abortions. And even if they were, I think it's a lot more interesting if Dolores wanted to keep the baby, so, the damage is done, and any responsible young father would stick around, right? He wouldn't just leave the mother alone. I can see Pepa and Félix insisting they should raise the baby as if it were their child, to which Dolores and Camilo react with horror and anger, because - no, the kid is theirs. Shouting match ensues.

I think it would be some very tense 9 months, but by the time the baby is born, I think they'd be more concerned with giving it a good life than punishing its parents. They would have had the time to wrap their heads around it and come around. The whole family would take care of Dolores during her pregnancy and, when the time comes, both her parents and her brother, as well as her aunt, are there to help and comfort her. The baby is born healthy, and everyone is excited to meet them.

I think a baby would give them some level of legitimacy as a real union, so the family may begin to treat them as just another couple, not less deserving of respect than Pepa and Félix or Agustín and Julieta. This is mostly the grandkids tbh and probably Bruno, who doesn't think it's cool to judge anyone and just wants to support the weirdos. Pepa and Félix on the other hand... they accepted it, they want their kids to be happy, and they want to help them raise their grandkid, but I don't think they'll ever be 100% okay like their nieces are. They're still uncomfortable when they see them being affectionate in public, and they still wonder how come this happened, but they're trying their best to be supportive :)

As for Antonio... he's just happy to be an uncle, and he's asking Agustín and Bruno for advice on how to be a good one ajsjdkfk
