Started Watching 911. Thought You Guys Were Exaggerating This Gay Shit. You Were, In Fact, Correctly

You don‘t understand I NEED to know what happened to Chris‘ room. I NEED to know.

Notably when Buck finally moves his stuff into Eddie's house, you see him decorating and moving his stuff in the Living room, and the Kitchen and setting up his (Eddie's) Bedroom but Chris' room remains entirely untouched

Trying to figure out if my social anxiety is a result of my depression or if my depression is a result of my social anxiety

Why is this so accurate💀

Oliver, say what?!?!

OLIVER SAID WHAT?! 👀👀🤯🤯

As a frequent commenter, i have to say that you have absolutely NOTHING to worry about! Personally, I love getting replies to my comments as well, it doesn’t even matter when. If you reply immediately though, i won’t even see it for hours at the LEAST, but often for days, because i just dont check my email that often. If i get a comment hours, days, or even weeks later, i just light up remembering the fic i left it on, my feelings about it, plus because a love connecting with people through fics! And to be honest, the best kind if comment is when i dont get a raply for MONTHS or even YEARS before i do, because then its like looking back on a fond memory like „Oh yeah, oh my god! That’s what i was obsessed with at the time, and thats the fic i fucking loved, holy shit!“ It’s like seeing an old friend again. I honestly like it more than getting immediate replies.

So, in conclusion: don’t worry anon, we fucking love late replies <3

I love, love, love getting comments and asks on my platforms about/on my stories! The emails/notifs never fail to bring a smile to my face! But, sometimes, I'm not in the headspace to read what other people think, y'know? Like, I'm always happy to read and respond to people as soon as I can, but sometimes I'm feeling super insecure about something and it translates over into the way I read comments because my stories are still a part of me, and I don't particularly like hearing what people have to say about me when I'm not too sure how I feel about myself. It makes me feel bad whenever I leave comments or asks unanswered for hours or days at a time before I'm in the right headspace to actually read/answer them

That’s 100% a-okay!

I do the same thing! I’ve have asks in my ask box from months ago that I just haven’t had the mental space to answer- and that’s okay!

Scrolling through the 911 tag like a dumbass as if anything I see is gonna make me feel better about this.

I am eating DRYWALL AAAAAH

Further thoughts on Buddie following episodes 8x11.

I'm speculating here, but I think this episode was about setting up a coherent and satisfying narrative around Buck and Eddie's feelings for each other. Look. Buck's recently figured out he's bisexual. If he's going to end up dating Eddie, Eddie needs to come out too. But how do you get two main characters to come out as queer when they've only ever dated women before? That's a wildly convenient coincidence.

(Audiences hate convenient coincidences.)

Now Buck is insisting he's not interested in Eddie. Why isn't he interested in Eddie? Well, Eddie's straight. Okay, that's not really an answer. But it doesn't matter! Because Eddie's straight! Why does everyone think he's in love with his best friend? His best friend is straight!

Suddenly Eddie's sexuality is a question. Is Eddie straight? Why is that important to Buck? What would happen if he wasn't? Fandom has been asking these questions since day one and we've already got more than a few answers of our own. But now Eddie's sexuality is being made salient by the narrative. And we're being told, Buck is not in love with his straight best friend.

So, hypothetically: Eddie comes out as Not Straight. This is no longer a wildly convenient coincidence. It's a complication. (Audiences love complications). Because now Buck has to answer the question that we've just established he does not want to answer. Are you in love with your best friend?

They can also reverse the order. Have Buck answer that question and move on to What Now? In this case, Eddie coming out is now a resolution. (Audiences also love resolutions). I think this is the less interesting path but it's also possible.

Usually when I dissect narratives like this I think in terms of "what I would have done." This is not what I would have done. This is better than what I would have done, because I've never had to convince my audience that People Can Be Queer, Actually, Yes Even Him. I would not have thought to structure it this way. I didn't think to structure it this way, and I've given a lot of thought to how I would hypothetically structure a getting together arc that would be convincing to a mainstream audience. I've been thinking that the only options for Eddie coming out are either Buck is supportive and excited for him as a friend, or Buck is painfully hopeful because he's been pining. Way, way better: Eddie comes out and Buck, who's been insisting for months that just because he's queer doesn't mean he's in love with his best friend, immediately realises he's in love with his best friend. And spirals.

No cuz those were my EXACT thoughts on Athena and Bobby when I first watched too!!!

911 thoughts from a newbie watcher:

spoilers for 1x06 - 1x10

(excuse name errors/spelling mistakes i am not good at remembering shit hence why i want to make this post cause i think it’s fun to do & people might enjoy reading my brain pluckings as i fight to catch up with you all)

- yayayaya chimney is back i missed him! the way he was helping bobby these episodes was melting my heart, i love their friendship so much. also his banter with buck was hilarious i love them so much!

- buck choking on his date with Abby gave me second hand embarrassment lmfao. he’s such a silly goose.

- I am loving athena and hens friendship and gossip sessions though hehe.

- abby and buck doing the deed? while hen and her no good ex are at it too? no comment. i appreciate abby and buck being there for one another’s comfort but i don’t like them as a situationship, no thank you. im not sad she’s going to travel, it’s cute she’s gonna live her life and do things to make herself happy.

- athena almost got chopped up?? leave my girl alone the fuck?? her goodbye to her husband hurt my heart, she deserves all good things in life and i wanna keep her safe. ALSO her getting cuffed doing the nasty with that hot guy was hilarious, hen is a real one for saving her ass bahahaha

- Bobby talking about reaching 148 and then leaving…. this man keeps making me so sad. I want him to be happy let this man be happy for fks sake :(( im glad he’s getting himself out there and going on dates though hehe he deserves the best! chimney giving him a little pep talk was too sweet, i love their friendship so much. BOBBY THROWING AWAY HIS LIST??

- that motorcycle call… that was the first scene to make me cry. that hurt, especially bobby and athena’s reaction to it.

- ATHENA AND BOBBY??? I DIDNT SEE THAT COMING BUT IM SO HERE FOR IT

i have no future predictions tbh, but i hope athena and bobby last cause they could be so cute together and i hope abby stays away for a long time :))
