About 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 15…

one day i’m gonna end up writing a miraculous rewrite because this stupid ass show has way too much potential to let it go to waste more than it already did

Just a rant about buddie maybe becoming canon in 911 season 8 and why it should take time for it to happen

Okay so most of us are expecting (more like hoping but wtv) to have buddie becoming canon this season. Season 8 is expected to be around 18 episodes or so, episode 4 comes out tonight (I have yet to watch it), but if it's really to become canon in s8, I do not want it to happen before the second half of the season and that's being generous. Don't get me wrong, I want them to get together as much as anyone, but if I see it happen in 3 episodes imma be real disappointed. As long as it happen, the longer it takes, the better tbh.

Now, why is that? Well, there's still a lot of things that needs to happen first;

Eddie needs to come out as queer (gay, bi, doesn't matter, as long as he comes out as queer and realizes he likes men)

Buck and Tommy need to break up (I refuse to have buddie start on a cheating scandal. God knows we've had more than enough of that storyline not just in media in general but in 911 as well. Not to mention Eddie literally just got out of one)

Both Buck and Eddie need to realize they have feelings for each other

And finally, they get together

Some of these can happen at the same time, like Eddie could realize he likes men by having the realization he likes Buck. Hell, that could happen before Buck and Tommy break up, giving us some good old jealous Eddie with "one-sided" pining and "unrequited" love (for now). Point is, as long as it doesn't start on a cheating arc, we're good.

If all this happen in 3 episodes, I'm genuinely going to be mad. It's just going to feel rushed and I'm pretty sure most of us would hate that. It needs to be a slow burn. The slowest slow burn ever seen. It could be beautiful.

Which is why I think they need to become canon at least during the second half of the season minimum. The latter the better.

That's not to say they can't have feelings for each other before that though. By them becoming canon I mean them actually starting a relationship. They can pine, they can flirt, they can have their own angsty moment thinking it's unrequited. But actually legit dating?? No. That needs time. It's just going to be better in the end.

If you were to ask me what my best case scenario would be, it'd pretty much go something like Eddie realizes he likes Buck (and consequently men, or vice-versa) while Buck is still dating Tommy, causing him to have to deal with his feelings while still trying to be supportive. Then Buck and Tommy break up for an unrelated reason (I'd like to mention that while I know a lot of people dislike Tommy, this is Buck's first queer relationship and I want it to be a good experience over all for him so an amicable break up sounds better to me but that's just my personal opinion on the matter) leaving Eddie kinda relieved but also trying to be good supportive friend. Then it's Buck's turn to realize he has feelings for Eddie. Cue some moments of pining and flirting, that can go on for more than one episode, ideally a few. While this happen, they can both talk about it with other people, like Buck with Maddie for exemple. Then something happen and they realize their feelings are mutual. Now, would they get together then or would they try to take things slow depends on how it plays out.

That's just how I like to imagine it happening. I'd love for it to last a while before they actually start dating, or at least before they make they relationship official enough to tell the others about it. But I might be biased because I've always been a sucker for a well made slow burn.

Anyways, those are just my thoughts on the matter, we'll see how it actually goes (if they become canon at all).

Still manifesting buddie becoming canon, if not dating then let at least one of them canonically have feelings so we can start going somewhere eventually

Manifesting doctor odyssey season 2 where tristan is trying his best to move on by either sleeping around or getting in a new relationship while max and avery slowly realize that something is missing to their relationship and that something is called tristan and they’re lowkey kinda jealous to see him with other people so now they gotta chase after him instead of having tristan always be the one chasing after people

Can we all just end the "What’s Yamato’s gender/pronouns in One Piece?" debate already?

Yes, Yamato is afab, but he still considers himself a man. I don’t care what the vivre card says, Yamato canonically uses masc pronouns in both the manga and the anime. Kaido calls him his son. Hell, Yamato even went to the MEN’s bathroom!

So please let’s just end it there. In canon, Yamato used masc pronouns and considers himself a male, so let’s just do that. It’s not that hard. I never understood why this debate was even a thing to begin with tbh

Holy fucking shit. I was rewatching 9-1-1 season 6 episode 11, when Buck is in his coma dream after he was hit by lightning, and I got to the part where Buck talks to the Chim and Hen from his coma dream. When he finds out what’s different, and like…

Bobby dying? Eddie’s parents took Chris to Texas? What in the weird ass forshadowing am I watching rn wtf

Me: *randomly starts singing at like 2 am*

Me (a few hours later): Why the heck am I so fucking tired

Hear me out on a character who can break the fourth wall, but like, is really bad at it.

Like he’s in a game, but he thinks he’s in a tv show.

Or he knows he’s in a show, but he thinks he’s in season 6 when it’s actually just been 2 seasons.

Watch him try to look at the camera to speak to the audience, but he’s never able to actually find it. He just keeps on looking at random directions and starts talking to the audience but it’s never the actual direction of the camera so he’s never actually looking at us.

The other characters in his universe can’t break the fourth wall but they can very much see him trying to break it. They just leave him in his delusions… no matter how close to the truth he actually is, even if they don’t believe him.

Just think it’d be really funny and seems like a nice twist to the trope

Bucky: Okay so, I have good news and bad news

Sam: Alright, what’s the good news?

Bucky: Walker’s dead

Sam: … And the bad news?

Bucky: I may have broken rules 1 and 2

Sam:

Sam: So you killed him?

Bucky: Yep

Zemo: Fantastic

Venom 4 but it’s just venom and eddie reuniting (venom is the cockroach trust me on this), have a very detailed sex scene, sleeper is born, then the last hour and a half is just them trying to figure out how to raise a symbiote child and start a family like they wanted. Post credit scene is dylan being introduced

I’m at that point in life where I just don’t care and I shamelessly traumatize my friends by telling them about the fics I read about, destroying their image of me instantly.

The horror on their face is gold tho, so it’s all worth it.
