I’m thinking about how this season THEYRE revisiting everyone’s worst traumas: (spoilers)
Bobby- his family’s death (the cruise and 7x08 from the trailer and episode descriptions)
Athena- Harry being involved in an incident at a convince store that could’ve ended up with him dead, similarly to how her fiancé died at the connivence store (correct me if I’m wrong, it’s been a hot minute)
Hen and Karen- their adoption going through, the same way it did with Nia
Chimney- Kevin and Doug (in 7x06 specifically)
Maddie- Doug (in 7x07 specifically)
Eddie- the Shannon of it all
Which leads me to like, what’s in store for Buck? I would say maybe it’s already been addressed (we’re seeing his fear of being replaced (with Eddie in 2x01 and then with Tommy in 7x04) and then his abandonment/intimacy issues in the context of his relationship with Tommy) but…
When I think about Buck’s biggest traumas, I don’t necessarily think about Abby or Ali or Taylor.
When I think about Buck’s biggest traumas I think about him getting blown up. I think about the embolism. I think about the tsunami. The lawsuit. The shooting. The lightning strike. And of those ones, I think his relationship with Christopher is a big part of why they’re so impactful. Christopher gives him the card before he throws a clot. Christopher is with him when the wave hits. Eddie tells Buck that the lawsuit is affecting Chris. Eddie gets shot and Buck finds out that not only would he have been Chris’ temporary guardian while Eddie was in a coma, but his legal guardian in the event of Eddie’s death. While Buck’s in his coma, the person who Buck feels the most guilt over leaving behind in that twisted reality is Chris (not his parents, who finally love him. Not Daniel and Genevieve who will cease to exist. Not Maddie who doesn’t know there could be better. Chris, who asks Buck for help and for the only time so far in the show, Buck has to refuse. Because that’s not his Chris. He needs to get back to his Chris, because that’s the boy he promised to always be there for).
After the truck bombing, every major trauma Buck lives through is at least partially centred around Chris, and we see how their relationship develops through these traumatic experiences.
So, pray tell, what the hell is going to happen to Buck and Chris and how the fuck is Eddie going to cope with it when we’re already watching him devolve into… madness? The death of his moral compass? Desperation? Whatever it is, it’s dark.
(I would also argue that Eddie’s biggest trauma after the death of Shannon was his s5 breakdown, so. I wouldn’t be surprised if we revisited that)
(Also also, I think Hen’s biggest trauma pertaining to the job was the civilian who she hit with the ambulance, and I would LOVE to see that touched on again for angst’s sake. Or you know: Hen’s dad, Eva, Denny’s bio dad, Karen’s journey with infertility, that time Karen got a little blown up, Hen’s med school friends, that time Hen seriously considered letting go of her morals to watch Eva die because that would be the only way to free her family of the mess she created. You know, any of these could work. All I’m saying is that ABC home of Grey’s Anatomy and 9-1-1 and its love of secret siblings and half siblings COULD throw us a curveball and give Hen a secret half sibling on her Dad’s side. For the drama)
TLDR: if we’re gonna talk about the 118’s trauma, Buck’s needs to centre around Chris. Burn down the loft with Buck and Chris in it, Tim. I dare you.

[ID: a comic page from Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #192. Harvey Dent is wearing an olive green suit and is holding a brown suit case as he smokes next to a dumpster in an alleyway. Bruce is in his Batman costume and is approaching Harvey from the opening. Harvey says, "You shouldn't have come down here, you know." Batman responds, "I don't know how much time I have on this one.. And Gordon.. Let me down. I expect you to have better info anyway, Harvey." He walks closer as Harvey confesses, "Well, we are building a case against Peter Scotta.. But I gotta tell you.. We're still a long way from anything we can act on." Batman presses, "But you know what he's up to," as he brushes past Harvey to be standing behind him instead.
Harvey turns to look at him. He says, "I wish I did. We're still figuring out who he does buisness with. So please don't break into my office to read the file. Theres nothing you don't already know. We're doing this slow and careful. Not like your stunt at the bank yesterday." Batman looks at him unimpressed. He argues, "If you spend months to build this case, Harvey, he'll already have made his move. He's working on something big, Harvey, and you know it." Harvey contours, "I know a lot of things.. There are lots of things I don't act on." Batman tenses. He starts to ask, "is that a thr-" before Harvey tersely cuts him off, "Sun's out. Better get going." He walks away, leaving Batman to be standing alone in the filthy alleyway. END ID]

You know that video where it's this guy sitting criss cross apple sauce and he starts pulling frogs out from his lap and after like five ur like 'oh that's a lot but he can't possibly have more' and he does
And then there's twenty of them and you're like 'ok that has to be all they can't all fit there?' and he just keeps...going
He just keeps pulling more out like at this point he's a FUCKING magician. And the video cuts off but he was still pulling frog after frog out. Like you couldn't see or hear them before he pulled the first one out.
Like you would keep thinking. "This is it...that's all the frogs" and he still kept going. Like whatever number you're thinking...it's more
Anyways that's peter and the rosier twins. They love frogs and they bonded over it.
I'd link the video but I can't find it and I'm devastated.
