It's Me And My 911 Mutuals Against Tim Minear

It fucking pisses me off that people keep trying to paint Eddie as abusive, even though he’s proven over and over again that, no matter how angry he gets, he would never actually hurt anyone. Even at the peak of his grief — completely furious — he still held back his emotions. And still, people label him as abusive, while other characters have acted out and didn’t get nearly the same backlash.

No one called Bobby abusive when he shoved Buck.

No one called Buck abusive when he sprained Eddie's ankle.

So why is it different when Eddie puts a hand on his shoulder and points at him? Why are those considered less intense than a hand on the shoulder and a finger?

And no — even though he was grieving, I don’t think Eddie was right to take it out on Buck like that. He doesn’t think so either. That’s why later he says, “I heard some dick (he) was pissing you off.” He knows he crossed a line with Buck.

In my opinion, the problem at that moment was that Eddie needed Buck — he needed them to share their grief, to support each other. But Buck was so focused on trying to “fix things” that he didn’t realize grief isn’t something you fix — it’s something you feel. And that frustrated Eddie because all he really wanted was to be with his partner. (It honestly reminded me of when the same thing happened with Hen and Karen.)

Every single fight they had has come down to a lack of communication, a lack of expressing their feelings — and the explosion that follows.

Were Eddie actions okay? In my opinion, no. But it doesn't mean he's abusive. He’s grieving. Just like Buck. Just like everyone else. People grieve in different ways.

Honestly, if you consider him abusive while thinking other characters’ actions were justifiable, then I have news for you — it’s kinda clear why you think that.

And I can’t deal with people using such a serious issue just because of a ship war.

athena and buck about to blow this popsicle stand

like i know they gave us two really good eddiesodes before this but. lads. i miss him so bad. i was simply not born to live without eddie diaz. it's just not sustainable for me

if the 118 is going into season 9 without a captain anyway i think they should let every character be captain for one episode. it could be so great. the return of nightmare captain han. ravi spending the entire episode terrified because he feels in no way qualified only to end up having a clipboard buck-esque ego trip at the very end. buck tries his best but every time he doesn't get to run headfirst into a fire he stands there looking like a dog left out in the rain like :( i cant believe all my friends are in mortal danger rn and I DONT GET TO JOIN :(((( eddie's actually kind of good at it but buck keeps getting so flustered by eddie ordering him around for Reasons He Cant Explain that he kind of forgets to do his job and then he gets so upset about not supporting eddie or whatever they have to call it quits. at the end hen is like well. i know i turned it down initially but i dont think theres anyone the department could possibly bring in with enough experience both as a firefighter and cultivator of our beautiful perfect codependent family dynamic so i will do the noble thing and step up (the entire thing was a scheme to make her realise this). btw bobby's alive for all of this he actually escaped the government lab in episode 1 but he's too busy sipping shirley temples on the beach with athena to get involved in any of it

(9-1-1 conspiracy theorist voice) it's too bad, i loved the crock pot theory. i do think it's weird though how people took "it's 8 hours, not 7 hours and 45 minutes" to mean it would happen in season 8. when eddie only started in season 2. i just think it's interesting that if you're going by the logic of 8 hours = 8 seasons of letting buddie cook, that would mean season 9 of the show, not the back half of season 8

If the petition against conversion therapy in the EU doesn't reach one million statements of support TODAY, it will fail! It's so close, only about 98,500 to go at the time of writing this post! It has already reached the minimum threshold in over 7 countries, it just needs more votes!

European Citizens' Initiative

Give your support !

Even if you don't live in the EU please share! Banning conversion therapy is such a huge deal and could help so many LGBTQ+ people across Europe.

i think the idea of eddie exploring his sexuality outside of buck is a fun theory in fanon but truthfully speaking i think buck would commit first degree murder if a queer eddie diaz so much as looked at another man after coming out 💀

Nah, this is way too light-hearted if Bobby is actually dead/Peter is leaving the show.

somebody get maddie and tia pepa in the same room quickly

bobby’s died says tim ‘liar’ minear. however i know the way of love and light. led by kenny choi himself. he’s holding my hand and saying. don’t even worry about it. i am fujoing out with peter krause on set right now. know this and find solace in it
