#911 crit

1, I think the permanency is one of the hardest parts of this for me. This and some of season 8 was a lot of one episode plots that's just go away once the episode is complete, so I also felt that way like ok somethings gonna happen! and then something else is going to happen and that's that but this is a kid. this is a child who is going to likely be in bucks life forever. and we just have to keep chugging!!!!! that's crazy!!!!!

fandom is fandom and is going to fandom, but I do actively read through the more accepting takes and theories to try to see where my view on this can wiggle worm around and there are a few that certainly do not make my belly feel any better about this. and that's okay! like feel that way if that's what you want I guess but to me, there's a line between what your fiction can portray and what your fiction can invoke, and I think 911 relies too much on knowing that you will have /a/ response no matter what so they can adjust as necessary to show they're portraying. this very well could end with theo going to a family member from HIS family, but that's something we won't know until (well. the leaks are there....) they see what emotional response they've invoked and decide then to settle on portraying. it's going to be complicated and messy no matter what. and on that note THE MINI BUCK COMMENTS ARE PISSING ME OFF. the worst part is that he IS a mini buck and cute as a button but it's just 😭😭 like his parents are dead on a bridge behind him in that scene can we not 😭😭 and them being dead after 3 minutes of screentime is just cheap 🤷 soz and I hadn't even seen the theo buckley comments ..... some people would benefit from seeking help. quickly!

and I love you mentioned the dread because well yes. 100%. we all knew that kid was coming back we aren't dumb!! and we know to Tim the anticipation is half the fun, but he gave us mere moments to rediscover that dread before it became entirely too overwhelming and overshadowed (for me) any chance at me anticipating what's coming. hell I even said to myself they're gonna get gravely injured one day but I didn't expect it to happen in ONE DAY!

I think you know how I feel about the donor arc and it being obliterated at this point. On the found family show where bucks own father said bobby was bucks dad. mere episodes ago, in the same "DNA isn't destiny" conversation. If I keep talking on it my teeth will fall out I swear. Just know we r holding hands on it #menmyanon

I have a complicated thought re:henren I feel I can speak with you about. it would be a complete disservice to their characters if there wasn't tension because of the reasons you listed, but I know they're not going there because of how they handled it so blaíse blaíse with Chim and mara. or maybe they can reinvigorate it there! hen and Karen were put through hell time and time again with fostering, the failed ivf/fertility sl, and adopting, plus the interpersonal issues there with Denny and his two living parents. If buck, who mind you just has dealt with everything that season 9 has done to him, QUICKLY gets permanent custody it's a slap to their faces! Sorry! If I were hen I'd be pissed off! Just as she should have had a jealous arc with Chim over mara her AND Karen should hold some kind of visible grudge against buck, even if for a 2 or 3 episode arc. hell hen wasn't personally on board with the donation either and now that kid is in her life! but that's not going to happen, because everyone is family and they support and love each other unconditionally. apparently

and yes so hard....I do think some people are choosing not to dwell of everything you and I are and hey that's okay that's on them! I think it's weird to feel that way but that's how you enjoy tv that's that yk. But just as I said about keeping my opinions out of their spaces it's a two way. Ive made my posts and I've said my peace and if you're spamming think pieces on how the show isn't serious it's entertainment it's TV it's just a shows calm down this is xyz yeah actually I don't have any more nuance in this aspect just fuck yourself and get blocked idc honestly at this point, like I know a lot of people aren't chronically online bout their shows, but so much has been said it's about the reaction at this point and if you're still harping on policing other people be cause 'its just my show' it's over for you

The social media....don't talk to me. Likeits so obvious through the show that they want to rub our heads and shhhh us as they take us from point a showing the kid and point b getting the kid in bucks hands already but all the posts just prove it! They was us to focus on the cute kid and the dadbuck of it all to smooth over the finer details of how it happens. They made them cartoon villains so we wouldn't care about it! Then posted videos of the kid with bucks helmet on! What are you trying to tell the audience!!

and to your last point, if this was introduced THEN the emergency happened, I'd be more accepting. At the very least that would make the writers take a fucking stand I can respect them taking by introducing it at the beginning of a season and giving themselves and us time to work the story and flex the writing an really give the character something instead of introducing the idea making it happen then fucking off to your hobbit hole for 3 months while you agonize over how you're going to make this work. honestly cowards the lot of them
