A better ending for Sweets instead of “kill him off because the actor left” :
Maybe if they had like a few episodes where during a case that was a child abuse / neglect incident and the fact that him and Daisy were expecting a child could have reopen some of those old wounds that have to do with his own abuse. Maybe he reevaluates what he wants to do and instead quites the FBI and goes around helping other foster children or becomes an educator/advisor for social services workers or smth.
like they knew he was leaving they could have easily done something instead of have him die on a random case

I'm getting massive Heaven Sent vibes from the Time loop fic, you have no idea.
Just Spider spending an ungodly amount of time trying to save his siblings, dying or strait up killing himself to reset the loop is such a gloriously angsty idea.
Ooooo a Doctor Who episode I like the reference...(and no, I certainly didn't look that up because I don't watch Doctor Who XD)
But I can see where you're getting at anon, and indeed putting Spider into this amount of angst is a definitely gloriously angsty idea I'm glad you're enjoying it ;)

The 118 5 man band Analysis
So with 6B coming up I just wanted to analyze how the 118 is a five man band in the best way also I’m just a troupe nerd and love when this is used in interesting way
Bobby- Leader
The captain
Keeps the team on track
Tragic backstory
But the typical foil that would go to one of the lancers went to the Heart
Cause you can’t tell me Bobby and buck aren’t foils of each other
Eddie-Big Guy
Military/MMA training
Is usually the one to face off with bad guys and more obviously got into fight club
Heavy hitter usually doing the stunts and maneuvers
Protects the heart of the team (made the kidnappers in season 5 let buck go, held Buck’s hand while the others tried to remove the ladder truck, suspicious of Abby when she came back in s3, gave buck a home/family)
But is also a softie and is a smart mouth
(Hen and Chim can switch roles tho depending on what’s needed of them)
Chimney- Lancer/smart guy
Questions and helps Bobby, seen as a right hand seen as being a Interim captain
Has plans up his sleeves even if unconventional
Hen-Lancer/smart guy
Pushed Bobby to open up and always up to question his leadership but still work within the team dynamic and is his right hand in the fact he chose her to be a interim Captain
Has creative plans to get out of situations or how to help people
Buck-Heart (this is where the 911 writers went bit more unconventional considering the heart role usually went to a smart guy/ girl/ or child, and since you wouldn’t really see Buck’s Footballer, built like a brick wall stature and demeanor be a Heart but a Big guy instead narratively) (but I can sort of make the defense that Buck takes on the heart as sort of a child aspect in the fact that he’s the leader’s pseudo son even if the narrative doesn’t explicitly state it)
The emotional epicenter of the group and usually shows the most out right emotions
Takes on emotional baggage of the team (helps Eddie navigate his emotional/mental well-being in s5, was there to see and help Bobby when he broke down after his relapse in s1, helped Chris (Eddie’s emotions/heart in a way) to understand what’s happening when Eddie started dating, in a sense took on Bobby’s emotional baggage of causing the ladder truck bombing by doing the lawsuit.etc)
Tests the teams dynamic in emotional and mental ways (the lawsuit arc, tsunami, the ladder truck bombing etc.)
Usually the one to be put in distress see above and the most recent 6B trailer (being put in distress stems from the older variation of the heart also being the chick/damsel in distress that the leader/team had to save)

hope it's okay to slide in here and add. I do think that isn't just that f is a soft ro, a lighter route, or that people don't like friends to lovers; it is also that f has such whimsical aspects to their nature. and I can see maybe that care freeness isn't for everyone, but I think where some of the infantalization comes in isn't just because F is black (though that would make it WORSE without a doubt) but because people see that as childish. And they refuse to see F as anything beyond someone who makes smart ass remarks and gets excited over paper airplanes. (Strange since some of tumblrs' rebrand personality traits is as the gay whimsy website, but that's probably where the antiblackness kicks in) F isn't mature enough in their eyes and doesn't have any real problems (that last part I definitely DO blame Sera for)
AHH YES it's completely ok that u sent me this! i was busy this weekend so i didn't have time to properly respond but YES YOU'RE SO RIGHT
i completely agree with you – it's like all the components are there for the ideal route by people's standards, but because they see f hauville as nothing more than a kid that's tagging along ub, they're never going to give f a real shot. it's bizarre, because it's like normally, that's a lot of people's ideal routes, but since like you said, they don't think f is mature nor do they have problems (which is sooo false) they just. overlook them completely (this paragraph seems like i've said the same thing twice but i'm going to keep it anyways LMAO)
it's crazy that some see a character genuinely trying to make the best of their situation (being traumatically ripped from their home realm) by maintaining an overly positive attitude as "childish". ugh. makes me feel icky thinking about the blatantly shitty treatment of f when they have as much depth as the other three ro's

Stealing canon characters to turn into ocs is not quite as simple as many people may believe. For what if you love basically everything abt the character's design and personality and maybe parts of their story too? What if their name is just so cool and fitting u can't bear to change it? Then it will be too obvious where the character was originally from if u keep ur favorite parts and well thats sometimes not preferred...

Reminder to writers that making someone request gluten free food to show that a character is picky/difficult/high mantinance is 100% ableism
As is characters being show to be cool because they do eat gluten / "don't care about that stuff"
