let's be real, do I want Eddie Diaz, the character, to have to kill someone? no, because that would be psychologically damaging for him and he's been through a lot. Do I want to watch Eddie Diaz burst into a cellar to find Buck, bruised and bloody and tied to a post, and beat the shit out of the kidnapper and be about to kill him when Buck says "Eddie" in a weak little voice, and then go touch Buck's face very tenderly and have to face the intensity of his feelings and how he almost killed someone for Buck? yes, very very very much.

i'm thinking about that interview where isa said that the reason santos is being more distant/cold with whitaker this season is because she's realising how much she actually cares about him and she's not used to having someone to care about.....ur telling me she's being mean to him because she loves him too much and it's scaring her......im overdosing on the whitsantos siblingism cocaine......

I think narratively speaking, and I say this totally objectively, we need buck and eddie to be chained together back-to-back by a Crazed Killer™️ each begging to be the one tortured by the Crazed Killer™️ in order to spare the other from the suffering.

daydreaming about this happening whilst things are weird and distant between them, maybe they even had a stupid argument earlier in the day (because buck's stopped using his spare key to let himself into eddie's house and last night he stood outside ringing the doorbell while eddie had his hands full even though buck was just coming over at an agreed upon time to borrow some of eddie's garden tools) that's blown up into something bigger (because eddie can't actually yell at buck 'why have you stopped treating my house like your home?') and now they're chained together telling each other 'listen, if we don't get out of this, I need you to know-' 'no shut up you're going to get out, you're going to be okay-' '-no you're getting out-' whilst the Crazed Killer™️ watches in bewildered fascination

nice desert motel you got there, shame if the Crazed Killer™️were to chain you up in it.....

Starting 911 when s8 was airing was a fucking fever dream I must say bc like. I started it for the gay drama. I am here for the gay drama. My friend was like yeah it turns out his boyfriend broke up with him bc he thinks he’s in love with his best friend who he’s raising a kid with and I said say less. And then I turn on my TV and Angela Basset is there. No one told me Angela Basset would be here. So now I’m like well shit I can’t just tune in for the gay drama I have to watch the whole thing because it’s Angela Basset and somehow that’s Not a selling point for this show on the Gay Internet. And then Bobby dies. So. Tricked by the Gay Internet once again. Fool me Once shame on you. Fool me Twice and now I feel things about a network television show. You fuckers. And Bobby’s still dead and Buck and Eddie really are That Gay and there’s a canon lesbian couple in the main cast since s1 no one thought to mention so now I have to do all the Yuri-pilling myself. And also this show has not one but two of the most empathetic complex storylines on flawed motherhood and It’s still a Cable Show. And also a complex exploration of religious trauma and guilt and repression that looks like it could be merged seamlessly with a gay arc. But also one time a shark ate a guy on a freeway and there was a Bee Nado and also they sent Angela Basset to Space. Who is still here. Because did I mention that Angela Basset is in this show. No one told me! What even.

Reasonable reaction

i feel like a cartoon character every time i interact with 911. i am running towards a beautiful tunnel with a motel with only one bed at the other end and boioioing it is in fact painted on a brick wall and i am bouncing off into a hitchcock psycho homage with a comically large bump on my head

...a car at night....a motel....a gas station....a sunset in the desert....a diner....perhaps maybe perhaps...but no...unless....
