WOWWWWOWWW OH YM GOF WOWWWIHOOJHHH

i don't want to break down the door buck i want him to open it. and then christopher knocked on eddie's door and asked him to stick around okay :')

my first favorite hobby is yapping. second is being extremely quiet and not talking ever at all ever.

i got a buckbobby i love you but at what cost.

Everybody just stop. Nobody is transferring out, and nobody is staying in Texas. This is our firehouse. This is the 118. And it's not just a number, it's us! You're right, Buck. Things are never gonna be the same again, because Cap is gone.

And leaving won't change that. It won't make you feel less, it just means you'll be sad all alone. Bobby died so that I could live, and it has screwed me up in ways I cannot fully express. But the truth is, he would have done that for any one of us.

You see, he knew that just coming in to work every day, there is a chance that one, or more of us would not make it home. And his job above everything else was to make sure that we did. And we are all standing here right now because of him!

This team, WE are his legacy! So we can miss him. We can mourn him. We can even curse his name, but we are NOT going to disrespect him by throwing away what he built RIGHT here.

Also, if your reaction to Buck and Eddie's fight last night is to label Eddie an "angry man" but you put no such label on Buck after he purposefully slammed Eddie to the ground and then laughed about it with Tommy afterwards in 7x04, then you really need to think about why your read on both characters is so different. And I need you to really, really think about it if your reaction to Chim in 8x16 was also to think that he was suddenly this violent and scary person (which I saw).

Eddie did not hit or hurt Buck physically last night. But Buck literally sent Eddie to the hospital in 7x04. Eddie is currently grieving his father figure and mentor. In s7, Buck was jealous of Eddie and Tommy's friendship but was otherwise emotionally stable. And yet...Buck is still just a playful puppy who gets frustrated sometimes. But Eddie is an angry, abusive man who needs to get beaten up because he dared to put his hand on Buck's lily-white shoulder in anger.

You have to allow characters of color to experience and express the same dark emotions that you accept from white characters. When you say that Chim's outburst in 8x16 makes him unqualified to be captain while ignoring that Bobby has punched perpetrators and destroyed property at scenes in anger, you're creating a double standard. When you see Eddie get angry in one scene and write him off as an abuser but treat Buck's actual violent outbursts as understandable frustration, you are perpetuating harmful racist stereotypes that hold men of color to vastly different standards than white men. And you need to stop.

in the spirit of being a bitch about this (yeah I’m being a bitch about this try and stop me) I’m gonna say one thing that’s already been said and then I won’t speak on this again but Literally having a main -much more a main like Eddie fucking Diaz- miss this much of a story and this dramatic of a plot should be considered a federal crime like imagine if Buck or Hen or chim weren’t in this episode at all??? It would’ve felt so off??? And for good reason they’re MAIN characters that should be treated as such and yeah sure eddies my favourite SUE ME but this is the godamn objective truth and it’s unfair he’s been missing from two episodes (well more like one and three quarters because Buck cant stop blabbering about his boyfriend like he’s a war widow or smth) like get serious it’s been 8 seasons. Love the devastation though let’s keep it up 🫶🏻
