My 911 hills I will die on:
Eddie Diaz is gay
Buck has ADHD- the writers could come knocking on my door and tell me that he’s not and I still would argue with them with a PowerPoint and everything
The Buckley parents deserve to go straight to hell and their redemption arc makes me foam at the mouth (negative)
More on that: the insistence of a show that is so deeply rooted in the concept of found family to constantly give shitty parents redemption arcs is so irritating
Maddie Buckley didn’t raise buck since she was 9 years old while dealing with her own trauma or give him her jeep and money (AKA HER LITERAL SAFETY NET TO ESCAPE HER ABUSER) just so people can sit there and call her a bad sister -I’m a Maddie Buckley defender and I stand by that
Both sides were flawed with the lawsuit thing and neither should be too harshly judged- Bobby kept buck out when buck already proved himself but he was doing it out of protectiveness in his own flawed way because let’s be honest he just saw the guy he considers a son nearly die in front of him three times in one year and saw the PT and toll it all took through the whole process and keep in mind he’s already lost 2 kids already but buck also shouldn’t have sued impulsively or disclosed such intimate information and should’ve tried to take a more rational approach but let’s also be fair and remember this is the guy THAT DID GO THROUGH ALL THOSE THINGS IN THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME like no one would be okay mentally, no one would be rational, not when you spend a shit ton of time to recover only to be told (in his brain at least) that it’s not enough from someone you not only consider as a mentor, friend and father figure but also the same person who was motivating you through your recovery
The way Shannon spoke about Christopher’s cerebral palsy will never not rub me the wrong way I’m sorry to any who love her
The way Natalia spoke about bucks death is also just a no from me
I actually hated the whole thing with Hen and the madney engagement like idk why the writing felt it was appropriate to try to compare Hen CHEATING (granted it was ooc and in season one) with Maddie suffering postpartum depression make it make sense- they could’ve had the same level of hen and chimney friendship moment/ hen looking out for him without doing this type of thing which just made me a little angry with hen while watching it but ultimately deciding this storyline doesnt exist in my brain

Hi. I cried writing this snippet so now you have to read it too.
For my Christmas fic, nearly finished!!
“You shouldn’t get his hopes up,” his mother says the moment they’re alone in the kitchen. “What?” Buck asks, confused. Her face wrinkles. “Christopher. You’re getting his hopes up.” “What? How? Huh?” he places the Turkey back on the stove. She sighs, “By pretending to be his parent. One day you’ll have a family of your own and he will get a stepmother. You can’t always stay in his life like this. You shouldn’t act like a parent with him. It’s unfair to him. You are not his parent.” Buck stares at her. He feels blindsided. He knew she’d have her opinions but didn’t expect this. He’s actually speechless. He also feels tears burn into his eyes.
Idk why I cried, normally I'm smiling evily when writing angst.

you can't convince me that if buddie becomes canon and they get married that buck doesn't take eddie's last name. especially if maddie takes chimneys. wym there's an opportunity for him to separate himself from his parents and he's not going to take it??

I know we basically know Maddie's whole story but can we get a "Maddie begins" in season 7?? Her struggles about losing a brother, feeling unseen by her parents, being a parent to her little brother, why she got so attached to Doug at such a young age & couldn't leave even after he kept hurting her?? And then what made her run away from things so much??

I know 911 is inconsistent with dates, ages and relationships but do you know how rare it is to meet a character who’s a fucking mess and you think “why are you like this. what’s wrong with you” and then FOUR YEARS later, in s4, they introduce his parents and you think “oh. This explains everything actually”

The fact that Buck crossed out part name so it just BUCK(which he got at the academy), and completely removes the Buckley,. Like buck wants no connection to the buckey name and his parents. We know they were going to therapy after the daniel reviled but we knew learned how it weren't. I know 911 like to repair parent/child relationships but it good to show that sometimes it best for the child not to forgive.
hey Nonnie
The show showing that some relationships are unrepairable and or damaging to continue maintaining and that things aren't always forgivable is actually really powerful and important storytelling. Buck removing the ley from his name is the first visual step on that path, Buck didn't just cover up the ley - he put a big red cross through it - thats a doubling down on things and shows just how angry, upset, cross etc he is feeling in that moment (and subsequently!)
I personally have experience of cutting family ties that were doing me more harm than good and I really really want the show to put that on screen because sometimes, even with all the therapy in the world cannot fix everything. the impression of the Buckley parents that I have, and that is indirectly supported by canon is that they are people who are too wrapped up in themselves, what they have lost and what they feel the world owes them that they are both incapable and unwilling to recognise that they are at fault and that they need to put the work in to be better and to repair those broken relationships.
We've been shown Ramon actively putting in the work to rebuild his relationship with Eddie - he was willing and able to recognise his mistakes and was prepared to atone for them and put in that work - the result is what we've seen on screen - Eddie is talking and building a functional relationship with his father.
Buck isn't going to be granted that same thing by hi parents. but thats ok. It will take strength for him to walk away (giving up on something is the hardest part) but when he does he will feel more whole and he will be able to recognise all of the amazing relationships he does have in his life - that he has built himself and that lift him up rather than bringing him down. It is powerful and it will allow him to move on and find that final happiness that he has been searching for (with Eddie and Chris) because he will realise he's been building it all along

sooooo...buck goes his whole childhood thinking that he needs to be hurt in order to get attention from his parents.
then he gets struck by lightning, gets attention from his parents, and that's a good thing?
hmm. okay.

I am like Fall Out Boy with my titles
The protective Eddie fic I teased today has been posted!
And yes. The title is too long for a fic. Idk. I didn't want to shorten the lyrics.
(It is locked for people without AO3, sorry about that!)

rewatching 4x04 and 4x05 and tbh the writers room is delusional for thinking they can redeem the buckleys

its like. you have made your son feel ignored and unloved, like hes a burden you never wanted, you only care about him when hes hurt himself, and you think he is just reckless with youthful arrogance that nothing can hurt him, that he thinks he is indestructible, you never consider, and then a man who has known your son just a handful of years Sees him, knows intimately that he believes hes worth less than those around him and cracks right to the core of that "Because, Evan" how deeply you have misunderstood your own child and how quickly a stranger has known him

Do you think the buckley parents will go visit buck when in a coma or not since they're supposed to be coming to la anyway
Hey Nonnie
That all really depends on what happens in the build up to the lightning strike.
I have a suspicion that things are going to get pretty ugly with the Buckley parents and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it is made known to them that they are not welcome at the hospital. I also wouldn't be surprised if we saw them refusing to go to the hospital - just like they talked about in Buck begins. if thats the direction they take I can see some pretty awesome set downs coming from Maddie and the firefam - which I would love to see!
6x10 is going to be very interesting - we're going to get to find out exactly what the relationship between Maddie and their parents and Buck and their parents has been in-between Buck begins and now - we only got mention of them going to a few counselling sessions with Buck, but we have no idea what actually came out of those sessions, or if they even went to them - I'm of the opinion that they maybe went to a couple and thought that was enough and that everything was magically fixed (or that it was too hard and too much work). We know Maddie has maintained some form of relationship with them since then - we saw emails in Boston, and there have been other references to Margret.
It's going to be a really interesting thing to watch unfold and will either give them some form or redemption arc or solidify them as awful people. I personally am of the opinion that there is no redemption for them and thats ok - its more realistic storytelling in many ways to have them irredeemable - not everyone has good parents and Buck learning to accept that and move on from it is potentially a key part of his arc this season (and connects into the sperm donor storyline so well because of needing him to realise that genetics are not what makes a father) and Maddie doing a better job than her parents and recognising how integral she was in raising Buck.
I can't wait - and I'd love it if we got a Bobby v the Buckleys showdown!!!
