“the average firefighter has 2 ladder truck related injuries a year” factoid is actually just a statistical error. the average firefighter has 0 ladder truck related injuries a year. evan buckley, who is the reason station 118 can’t have nice things, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
this is the dumbest thing i've ever made, but i hope u all like it anyway <33 (i had to compress the hell out of this just to upload it but we stay silly)
These shows aren't making the ships the Fandom like, such as Buddie or Tarlos, constantly bickering.
For instance, In Hawaii Five-O, McDanno wasn't canon, but the Fandom shipped them because of their chemistry but also became of how "loving" their (car)gument were to see. They fight but always came back to each other.
Same with Rizzoli & Isles. Jane and Maura were so opposite of each other, but they fit so well together. Not everyone in the Fandom saw them as a couple, but the way the writers wrote them, made it feel like they wanted to make the Fandom ship them to an extent. They were for the most part in agreement with each other on most things, but they would still sometimes disagree and bicker about small things.
And the same with NCIS. The way they wrote DiNozzo; he's always bickering with his love interests. DiNozzo and Todd didn't end up together in the show, but their constant flirting and little playful argument made me as a fan want to ship them. They even did that with DiNozzo and Ziva. The moment they introduced Ziva it was a constant back and forth with DiNozzo, and that eventually lead them to be a couple. (I think they made it Canon in the show. I'm only at Season 4 for NCIS)
It's a rarity when a show have the both love interests be on the same level and not constantly be arguing.
The Rookie was successful with not making Tim and Lucy have constant bickering. Yes, they disagreed with each other, but their disagreement wasn't a "highlight" of their relationship. However, at first, they weren't at the same level. Tim was Lucy's training officer. They couldn't be together due to their power dynamic. Therefore, Tim had to stop being a TO and Lucy had to move up in her career in order to make their relationship work.
Saw a post that Tommy is Abby 2.0 & that feels SO REAL (older & more mature, introducing Buck to a different way of thinking, knows the job intimately, not quite as into him as he is into them 🫣).
I just hope Tommy leaves in a much better way, bc he gives off good vibes and I ADORE LOU.
I’m not saying he’s not staying longer than planed but with Oliver you have to also take his interviews with many grains of salt. Like love him to death but he also says things like this about every possible LI he gets. Just look at the last few interviews from season 6 where he was going on about the future of Buck and Natalia and how excited he was is to see it play out in season 7 and explore their dynamic etc. and then we all saw what happened with that lol.
to be fair, when he said those things, Fox hadn't cancelled 9-1-1 yet & ABC hadn't picked it up. for all he figured, Buck & Natalia could've been something in s7 had it been on fox and things didn't play out the way they did. & I don't blame him for saying things like this about every LI cuz I'm sure he prob hopes at least 1 will stick around for some time. Buck has certainly drawn the short end of the stick as far as LI's go, but Tommy is incredibly different than any of his past LI's and, frankly, whether you like BuckTommy or not, it'd be stupid to just brush him aside when this pairing allows for a ton of new, rich storylines that they can tell.
And isn't getting Buck off that hamster wheel Kristen put him on in seasons 5 & 6 the entire point of this?
Is Buck's playing football in high school canon or fanon?
Cause the Eddie tackle was personal, but also very VERY american football.
THE BOY WENT FOR IT.
(reminded me of Steve Mcgarrett from Hawaii Five-O when he didn't know how to play basketball, so just improvised and played foot-basketball with the inmates in prison).
Just realized that in 3 weeks (the season just started here) my kinda homophobic parents will see Buck kiss a man, and for a moment I got worried they'll be like "why they gotta make everything gay now?"
But then I remembered 4 years ago when S3 ended with Buck and Eddie single, and my mom wondered out loud who Buck was gonna end up with(since Eddie had that moment with Ana), and my dad, who never makes gay jokes, just said "He should end up with Diaz lol"
I’m just saying if Eddie hurt Buck even accidentally so many of you would drag him and probably even say he was abusive yet so many of you are acting like he deserves to be hurt??
this is my blorbo Steve and that's his boyfriend Eddie and that's my blorbo Eddie and his boyfriend Buck and that's my blorbo Bucky and his boyfriend Steve and that's my blorbo Steve and his boyfriend Danny and that's
I’m being so ffr rn, if the show runners definitively show that Buddie is not going to happen?
I’m probably not going to be watching anymore.
I mean it when I say that they’re literally the sole reason I watched this show in the first place. I saw a billion TikTok edits of them & was like “Idek these characters I need to watch this show and see what’s going on over there.”
And like, it’s a fun show, I’m not saying it isn’t, but first responder shows are a dime a dozen. There are other shows that have queer characters and found family and wild adventures. Granted, they don’t have Buck & his bi arc, but I’d still read fanfics to get my Evan Buckley fix lol.
I don’t need them right now, I’m so down for the slow burn, will-they-won’t-they & the pining & the yearning & the build up and the GOOD foundation. I want to see Eddie figuring himself out and dealing with his repression and figuring out he’s queer (& Demi, pls God. I hope if I just say it enough, I can will it into existence somehow) before anything happens with the two of them, but if they take definitive steps to have one of them like, marry someone else or something, I think I’m gonna head out. Find me on ao3 for the rest of my days lol.
