!!!!!

Wait, you’ve got to see this!

Just wanted to bless you with some pure RDJ adorable silliness <3

Hi! Hello!

Who’s up for yet another parallel? 🙋‍♀️

[Eddie speaking to Bobby in 3x08]

She already left once, broke [Christopher’s] heart. You know, I was afraid she was going to do it again. She did.

versus

[Eddie and Buck at the hospital in 4x14]

My attorney said you could refuse [to be Christopher’s legal guardian if I die].

But you know I wouldn’t.

I know you wouldn’t.

Just coz idk how to save these

Having watched 9-1-1 since S1, and in this case specifically since S2, I feel like one becomes desensitized to whatever this nonsense is between Buck and Eddie. I know this bc sometimes I'll be watching a clip or an episode and I'm like "ah yes so sweet, Eddie and Buck are each other's person" but THE WAY their story is told, it's easy to forget how this shit must look to the outside/casual viewer!

If you're like me and find yourself in need of a vibe check because these two dumbasses got you spiraling, here's a list of honest to God canon things this show has delivered:

🤔Buck and Eddie took all of half a day on the job together before they were ride or die BFFLs

🤔Outside the major disaster event, the second plot-focused episode of S2 is Buck doing the absolute most for Eddie for no other reason than he worships the ground Eddie walks on. In this episode we get the unbelievably subtextual conversation about "they're not my type" and "not mine either....at least not anymore" and *shoulder bumps*; we get Buck going with Eddie (???) to the hospital, Buck basically planning out a whole fun day at the firehouse for Chris, Buck introducing Eddie to Carla......I mean......

🤔Eddie was railing his wife most of S2 and still was so, so invested in Buck (he brought him to visit Santa with Chris????)

🤔"Are we the only people we know who don't have kids? .......BUCK!" *Switch to Buck about to risk it all for his future son*

🤔Buck and Eddie literally stare for about 10 solid seconds across space and time when Chris is found post-tsunami and it's so intense I have to look away!?

🤔Eddie tells Buck there is nobody he trusts with his son more than him. Nobody in the whole entire world. One in 7 billion babeyyyy.

🤔Oh yeah, they have an entire divorce/reconciliation plotline masquerading as the lawsuit arc

🤔They behave especially homoerotically in Buck's kitchen, but that's none of my business I guess ☕

🤔Buck bi-panics through all five stages of grief when he realizes he cannot dig to Eddie with his own bare hands

🤔Abby says "he (Buck) moved on a long time ago" and then just immediate cut to Buck talking about Christopher going to summer camp. Please, Tim, at least try to make these parallels less obvious I mean🙄

🤔Eddie is #disgusted at Abby and v protective over Buck, and I don't have the emotional capacity to detail the symbolism of Abby moving away and Eddie stepping forward (taking her place???) smh

🤔Buckley-Diaz domestic excellence literally in a literal episode literally titled Future Tense

🤔Eddie comes home from his date to *shocking revelation* Buck appearing from behind the wall! The scorned lover! And he tucked Chris into bed! Eddie calls Buck a miracle worker! The lighting is warm and suggestive! I am not supposed to view this at least a little bit romantically!?

🤔Christopher is feeling sad and insecure and he is mad at Himbo Dad #1 so he runs to Himbo Dad #2 bc he knows how to work the system

🤔In an episode titled "Parenthood," despite the fact that Buck is not a parent, they really do be putting him in situations to share his Big Opinions on parenting, usually in tandem with Eddie? @Tim share your location I just wanna talk

🤔Treasure Hunt aka How To Pine Quietly For Your Best Friend and Instead Disguise It As Petty Jealousy, written by Eddie Diaz

🤔*slow, deep breath* Eddie got shot in broad fucking daylight but wait Buck is there too? Oh and you're gonna splatter him with Eddie's blood in a moment that is so perversely intimate and then you're gonna utilize the music in the scene to illustrate how Buck and Eddie are caught in this one moment together separate from literally the rest of the world? Okay cool cool cool cool cool cool cool —

🤔Wait wait Eddie REACHES for Buck????

🤔You're telling me Eddie fights off the sweet relief of unconsciousness to make sure Buck isn't hurt?

🤔They really let Buck say "Just stay with me" and "I need you to hang on" Like That and Eddie turns his head to look at Buck, the last thing he sees before the sweet void takes him????

🤔Buck said "I know what's best for Christopher" this whole entire episode and not a single person found this surprising

🤔Buck and Taylor kiss and Eddie's comatose gay heart says, "miss me with that straight shit" and wakes up immediately

🤔Eddie waits to video chat with Chris until Buck is in the room and also Ana girl where'd you go? I thought this was your sERioUs bOyFRiEnD

🤔Eddie Diaz said he values and appreciates and loves his best friend and he is going to make it everybody's problem *changes will*

🤔"You act like you're expendable, but you're wrong" are actual words between these two men that actually played on screens everywhere at 8:57pm EST on FOX

🤔The very last plot-focused scene of the season (we do not count the montage however it is very cute) is this moment bw Buck and Eddie.

If you, too, realized you became desensitized to the literal soulmate narrative between these two, consider yourself vibe checked!

😂😂

Steve: Nat is the sister I never had and Sam is the brother I never had!

Steve: They are also my best friends.

Bucky: Then who the hell am I?

Steve: Father of the kids I never had!

Tony learning from his previous suits’ failures/shortcomings.

Idk why but every time I see that gif of Steve and Bucky laughing together I think of that screen test with James Dean and Paul Newman where James says "kiss me" and Newman responds "can't here."

bc it’s like, almost an exact mirror it makes me emo 

Does it ever just startle you to realize that Buck is the antithesis of his parents:

"Yeah, people make mistakes. Doesn't mean you give up on 'em."

"Because you barely knew what was going on with your own kids when we were under the same roof."

"I don't know what you expected us to do." "Love me anyway."

Buck is the antithesis of his parents (who got stuck in their grief and only focused on one another, leaving Maddie and Buck to fend for themselves; who still cannot accept full responsibility for the mistakes they made despite the whole forgive us scene with a few therapy sessions following). Buck is very much interested in Christopher's life, he's there for him, he knows what's going on with him whether he asks or Eddie (or Christopher himself) tells him, he spends time with him, and he is absolutely there. The one time he wasn't, due to the lawsuit (when he got absorbed into what was going on), he apologized twice to Eddie and he hasn't wavered since.

And Eddie is the antithesis of his parents:

Plus:

"He can't drink this. No ice and he needs a straw. Where are the juice boxes that we bought?" "I don't know." "Why doesn't Daddy go be a hero in the kitchen and find a big ol' juice box, huh?"

He doesn't baby Christopher, he fosters his independence, he loves him unconditionally, he gives him the freedom to make the choice to go with him when he leaves Texas and the freedom to just be. He never manipulates or tries to make Christopher feel bad about himself if he doesn't do something that Eddie wants. (i.e. when Christopher resists the idea of Eddie dating in 4x08)

"Together?" "Together."

And Buck and Eddie are both given an opportunity to show that they are the exact opposite of their parents with one common denominator: Christopher.

Please tell me again how this isn't leading up to endgame. How these two just don't make sense at the core level of their separate stories in the show. It's all right there.

I took these photos on my phone the other day

He was kind and strong and vulnerable and… beautiful
