Drives me insane when newcomers to fandom r like “how can you ship those two!! They hate each other!!” As if shipping rivals and enemies has not been one of the only constants throughout fandom history.

One of the main themes of this show is that no matter what you do — no matter how many people you hurt — you can still make amends and learn from it and do better.
You are not defined by your worst moment.
You are still worthy of being loved even if you make mistakes.
It feels like people are missing this with Eddie right now. Is he making a mistake? Absolutely. Is he hurting people in the process? Yes, he will be once they find out. Is he now irredeemable? No, absolutely not.
That goes against the central message of the entire show.
I could go through character by character and outline how this message applies to all of them but let’s focus on the big one:
Bobby not only hurt his family emotionally with his addiction but he also (accidentally) killed them and 145 others.
He’s terrified still that this makes him unworthy of happiness. But does it? The show tells us over and over again that no, it does not. He’s still trying to make amends, and maybe will have to all his life. But he’s trying. He’s doing that work, and the world of 9-1-1 is a better place because Bobby Nash exists within it.
What Bobby did was so, so much bigger than what Eddie is doing. The intent is different, sure, but both happened because the person was in pain. Pain makes people do terrible and selfish things.
Eddie has been Bobby’s parallel before and we’re seeing it again with the Amir storyline. Both of their pasts are coming back to haunt them right now. Both will have to reckon with the consequences of their actions. Both will have to make amends.
In the world of 9-1-1, any action can be forgivable if you are willing to make amends. Anyone and everyone is deserving of love.
So when I see people in the tags outlining why it’s so unforgivable that Eddie is cheating on Marisol and why this means he doesn’t deserve to be with Buck now, I have to wonder… are we watching the same show?
If you don’t understand that he’s cheating NOT because he ‘is a cheater’ but because he sees Kim as a chance to have Shannon back then you don’t understand how deeply and desperately Eddie has rewritten their marriage in his head to be flawless.
If you don’t understand how much pain Eddie has been in over Shannon’s death since 2019 then you don’t understand Eddie.
If you don’t understand how pain will warp your perception of reality and your scope of acceptable actions then you don’t understand pain.
And if you don’t understand how forgiveness and acceptance of a loved one’s flaws are the absolute heart of this show, then you don’t understand 9-1-1.

it should be illegal to be this fucking stupid so loudly and confidently omg..
mfs on the internet preach about "media literacy" yet they completely gloss over the fact that the only damn things that kusuo "canonically" is are a tsundere, an unreliable narrator, and a fucking liar LMFAOOO.. babe thats like basic reading comprehension, im sorry..
EDIT: it should go without saying not to send a person hate just because of a silly post like this one(+i dont have any reach anyway so im sure it wouldnt happen, but i wanna say this nonetheless lol) but i would just like to say that i just checked and realized that this person is 15 years old, so like... yeah, too young to be arguing with grown people on the internet. dont take this too serious or send this person hate pls lol..
