i know everything sucks rn but something's been bugging me, wondering if you have any thoughts on buck's outfit when he's looking at apartments. it reminds me of the tsunami outfit?? (i know the shirt is redder but it's a similar color to what it looks like wet, i think)
Boy do I have thoughts. Red is a signature color for Buck, wearing this bright reds is a thing he does a lot. But he does not have a fully red outfit in 8 before that scene. He has red plaid, but not a fully true red outfit. And even in season s7, the reds we see him in are more muted tones. And they stop showing up in 704.
I have been WAITING for Buck to get a true red outfit all season. It is still a bit too orange, but I'll take it
Yes, it is similar to the wet version of the tsunami outfit.
But I think the important callbacks here are Buck, Actually and the is that really love speech in the s5 finale.
It's about Buck needing the change and feeling ready for more but not being able to reach it, to figure out how to get there. Buck has a lot of breakthroughs about love in red. The jacket over there is also in the scene about madney.
When he moves out from Abby's place because he needs to figure out what's next, when he actually talks to Abby about it all. It's about Buck being ready to do something about it. And with Oliver saying he wants Buck's next relationship to come from a well thought out place? I'm looking.
But the orange tone of that red actually got me thinking about this jacket.
Because Buck wants a house that feels like Eddie's. And the thing about the house is not the house, is that it is Eddie's. Home is not a place is a person yada yada. But I was thinking about this because Eddie's breakdown is the first time we see Buck using his key to the house. Like, he's been in it without Eddie before, but he's always already there. Opening the door while Eddie is breaking his room has a different connotation than just the camera panning to Buck somewhere in the house.
Anyway, I think they left the house thing vague on purpose, Eddie is moving back and Buck wants to move out, but he didn't pick somewhere yet, that opens a lot of possibilities. Not that I trust the show to pick the most interesting one, but there are a few nice ways this could play out. And putting Buck back in red at that particular moment could be about Buck being ready to truly look, since he kept ignoring the house being Eddie's and the whole metaphor for unpacking stuff they did with Buck's feelings and the house. Letting Buck think about what he wants and how he can get it and truly do this for him.
inspired by this:
chimney once watched his own brother die doing a job that he followed him into. now he has to grapple with the fact that one of his closest friends is dead from the same virus that he was cured from. buck once told bobby that he couldnβt handle seeing the people he loved hurt and he hated to be the guy standing there doing nothing about it. and he had to watch from the other end of a sealed glass door as bobby said goodbye, knowing in his heart that this time there was nothing he could do. hen became a paramedic to help people, to save people. but this time, she didnβt even know that bobby needed saving. eddie wasnβt even there. he joined the fire department because he missed the camaraderie of the army. that team became his family. but in the end, he wasnβt even there. no oneβs beating them in the survivorβs guilt department. the only man who probably could is dead soβ¦
The rest of B-Shift hearing about Ravi committing domestic terrorism for the sake of Chimney even after Bobby offered to take the fall and just thinking, βOh God, they finally got him. They roped Ravi into their sick little co-dependent work family. Weβre never getting him back.β

Sooooo because Iβve been seeing connections to Bobbys arc in all the Halloween episodes it got me thinking about the costumes from this seasons Halloween episode and how I thought at the time they were meant to be relevant to each characters arc for the season because itβs something the show likes to play on - giving hints through the set and costumes - I just hadnβt figured it out and then didnβt really think on it more because we got Eddie dancing and Buck escaped his dull, uninspiring relationship and I got distracted like the audhder I am!!
Then I saw something on twitter and Bluesky earlier and all the dots connected and I was right - the costumes are all about each characters arc for the season.
Mad scientist Hen - upcoming biohazard arc
Chim as Jason - a serial killer - Maddie getting kidnapped and nearly killed by one! (Which was also why Doug used the name Jason back in s2 - it was a play on the same thing!)
Vampire Bobby - vampires are undead and lore says they sleep in coffins - Bobby is about to be buried alive in a coffin - itβs a play on death and resurrection both catholic and vampiric (proof he wonβt die!!)
Werewolf Eddie - transformation and identity - in modern literature and tv/film the werewolf has become connected to the idea of hiding who you are and being othered - and that has been taken up by the queer community because it is something they identify with - so Eddieβs arc about his identity and who he is, is clearly a queer one.
Cowboy Buck - hiding behind a giant stache - itβs about Texas but also about recklessness and impulsivity - which are considered cowboy traits, and in the uk a cowboy is someone who is false or dishonest - which with the theme of the season being lying and fakeness - would fit with the idea that Buck is hiding his true feelings (behind a moustache too big for his face!), that heβs not being honest about them - and that is connected to Texas because weβve started to address that concept now that Eddie is there - because thatβs where his heart is. Even Tommy is part of this costume led arc nod - Buck finds a corpse (which he thinks is fake but turns out to be real - which is a subversion of the real/fake thing and is also why in part it is dressed in something similar to Eddieβs bachelor party outfit - because itβs all about subversion and Buck having things the wrong way around) which is a representation of Tommy and why he sleeps on the couch like a corpse - which was clearly a direction and not his bad acting!! Billy was already a Tommy metaphor - losing his posse etc in the same way Tommy is feeling the loss of not being a part of the 118!!
I really do love the costume team so very much - they just keep on knocking it out of the park at every opportunity!
buck not letting eddie give in to his insecurity about the job. buck not letting eddie talk himself out of his decision to move. buck holding eddie accountable for lying to chris and taking into account how chris must be feeling but also reminding him that all he needs is his dad. and that's exactly why he's eddie's partner in life and always will be, because he will never fail to consider what's best for both eddie AND christopher and to help them get there.
Can we talk about how Buck is from Eddieβs perspective? Heβs not silly or dumb or a himbo or any of the other things I actually love about Buck but make him a less serious character.
In each FaceTime Buck is competent, smart and reassuring. Heβs making dinner at the station which means multitasking and good cooking skills. Heβs available when Eddie calls which is reliable. He listens and offers good advice. Heβs selfless and doesnβt take the opportunity to encourage Eddie home when we know he feels like heβs missing a limb without him. Iβm not sure, but I think Buck even stutters less? Heβs calm and confident, more sure of his advice and obviously doubts himself less.
Buck from Eddieβs perspective is everything Buck wants to be for the people he loves. Yes, Buck and Eddie also get to be silly together and we see that in Buckβs view, but how beautiful is it that heβs also this mature and stable partner?
imagine you have a surprise baby at nineteen years old and you enlist because you don't know what else to do and you come home with ptsd and three bullet holes and a medal you hate looking at and your wife leaves you and your parents try to take the baby you did everything for but against all odds you get out and you make it work. and then your wife comes back and then your wife dies in front of you but you're still making it work. and then five years later you have a completely unexpected understandable relapse in your grief and then your parents really do take the baby you did everything for and so you leave behind the life you made and the man you're in love with and move back to the city that suffocated you because you don't know what else to do. and you're trying really really hard to make it work. but itβs just not working anymore.
Eddie realizing he loves Buck: wow, i love my best friend in a gay way π₯° π life is good π
Buck realizing he loves Eddie: OH FUCK OH SHIT FUCK IM DYING THE WORLD IS ENDING I LOVE MY BEST FRIEND AND HES LEAVING FUCKING KILL ME

The thing about 911 is that the shipping drama and discourse surrounding it completely belies how insane this show truly is. A man is attacked by a shark on the freeway. Ghosts are probably real, and so are curses. The most recent season opens with a bee-nado that segues into a plotline about an autistic half-orphan child landing a broken plan. The most dramatic moment between the fandom's favorite ship is one of the characters getting shot by a sniper in broad daylight in the suburban streets of Los Angeles. Buck's introductory scene of the entire show is him stealing a firetruck to have sex with a Tinder hookup. The fire captain's backstory is an addiction that led to the death of 148 people. He's best friends with his wife's ex-husband and once proposed to said ex-husband's boyfriend on his behalf while that boyfriend was performing brain surgery on a man in the middle of a burning building. There's a guy who sneezes every time he lies and then lies so hard he almost dies. One of the main characters gets rebar impaled through his skull and is back to work the next month with no lasting side-effects. They basically never fight fires.
genuinely I can't stop laughing at the fact that it's a canon buddie dynamic that eddie just goes around doing vaguely evil and illegal shit and buck follows him going surely this is all perfectly legally sound because eddie - my eddie, the paragon of goodness with a silver star - would never do anything illegal. but then again what else could I have expected from buck 'follows eddie diaz into what he suspects is a mob establishment with zero questions' buckley
eddie figures out his feelings post-texas and then he's talking to hen about it and he's like "well i can't make a move Now. i'm his landlord. that's like an abuse of power or something right?"
and she's like "eddie you two sleep in the Same Bed"
eddie, later: buck do you consider me your landlord? in like a power dynamic way?
buck, with pupils the size of a small country: mmmh. do you want me to?
i need that as a fic NOW!
Imagine loving a guy so much you almost kill yourself to find his baby boy in a tsunami, you claw at the earth when you think you've lost him forever, you crawl under a fire truck to drag his bleeding body to safety with an actual sniper shooting your way, you accept the fact he put you down as his boy's legal guardian in case he dies with barely a protest, you agonise when he quits being your job partner, you take said son to the zoo all the time, you get jealous like a dog pissing on a tree when he has a new friend, you're there when he begs you to fix something you can't fix and you can only hold on to his shoulder to try and shoot the pain, you go to him the second some ugly man dumps you, you throw a hissy fit about him leaving to Texas and sabotage his house showing, and then, you cave. You cave and you give up your housing situation to help him, you move into his house and you let him go. You let him go because you love him that much.
And he looks at you like you set his world on fire and built it back anew, and you hope he looks through the rearview as he drives away, hoping he'll miss you half as much as you'll miss him.
He will. You were struck by the same lightning, you'll forever share a heartbeat.
one thing that i think is really interesting about buck and eddie's conflict and particularly their little not-fight at the end of the ep is that for literal years they've been using chris as a shield to talk about how they feel about each other. every declaration of trust or affection or whatever is spoken through christopher (there's no one in the world i trust with my son more than you. the will. etc etc) . but the thing about this time is that chris (by virtue of him being in texas) is the barrier. he's the thing effectively causing the conflict so they can't use him to hide behind. which means that almost for the first time ever we get them both actively vocalising what they mean to each other, irrespective of chris. i don't know what i'm gonna do without you. he knows how to stay, unlike some people. i'm having more trouble dealing with the idea of you not being around than i'd like to admit. i don't like it anymore than you do. like!!!!! they're admitting they don't want to be without each other!!!! they're admitting they don't want to be apart!!!!! and that is.....genuinely monumental when you consider how rarely they say it out loud (even if they show it in other ways). like the entire episode is basically just them both being irritable and upset bc they don't want to leave each other πππ
