Okay I have no plans to watch 911, but will probably watch vicariously through reblogged gifs. But I saw “tsunami” somewhere in the tags and isn’t this in LA?? I know. There’s a coast but fires happen on an annual basis vs a TSUNAMI. Lol is there context or was it just “an earthquake happened and now there’s a tsunami in Santa Monica.”

Also, Eddie looks lovable.

That is the context lol an earthquake happened and then there was a tsunami in Santa Monica XD

But friend...friend...the tsunami arc is like...my hands-down favourite and since you have no intention of watching it and I can't spoil you LET ME TELL YOU WHY :D

We have a character Buck who, canonically, is described as a golden retriever and who got smushed by a whole-ass fire truck and his leg got super pancaked. But it was okay, he did rehab, did surgeries and was better and going back to work! But then at his welcome back party he straight up puked up a ton of blood and almost died (pulmonary embolism because of the aforementioned pancaking).

So now he def can't work because he's ~on blood thinners~ so as to not throw up his lung again and Buck has, canonically "nothing outside of the job" (at least he feels that way) so he's mega depressed. So his bff (Eddie!) comes over and literally pulls him out of bed, throws his young son at him and says "you have your whole life ahead of you; case in point, go bond more with my son :)".

So Buck takes the small child....to the Santa Monica pier!! Literally to the farthest edge of it because we live for drama. And then TSUNAMI. So Buck potato-sacks the small child and makes a run for it but you know it's an ocean so it's faster and whoosh, down they go.

Please see here for a brief visual account of what happens next.

It's 2 episodes of terror and sweetness and pseudo-father-son bonding and ANGST because he SAVES the kid and then he LOSES THE KID (and also his mind and like half his body's reserves of blood because blood thinners + great bodily damage).

(Btw Eddie has no idea any of this is happening, he thinks Buck took Chris to the movies lol so he's just chilling, doing his job, literally saving people 1 whole-ass block away from where Buck and Chris are like drowning)

Anyway so Buck ends up literally stumbling through the streets, openly bleeding, screaming himself hoarse for Christopher, saving lives as he goes like the goddamn hero he is. And then he finds Eddie instead and has to try to tell him he lost his son....and then boom! Chris finds them (via a nice lady) and Buck straight up collapses on the street in the arms of his other coworkers/friends. Happy endings!

And we don't get to see Buck recover or watch him and Chris reunite or hug or talk about the 25 people he saved single-handedly while being unfit for firefighting service and I'm not at all bothered by any of that. :)))))

And then, to round us out, the most romantic of Ed Sheeran songs plays while Eddie and Chris come back to Buck and Eddie basically tells Buck he's like Chris' other father and we were all super normal about it.

Also, Eddie is eminently lovable. You have great instincts. <3 Enjoy the watching-thru-gifsets! And if that ever devolves into watching this goddamn weewoo comfort show, know that you have a support group waiting XD
