118 Firefam - Tumblr Posts

My AFAB British ass just nodding along whilst Eddie talks about his Vegas trip, like yeah, I totally know how far it is between Vegas and LA, mhm, Muay Thai? oh definitely, that’s a thing, and chevelle is horse in French right? Sounds like you had a great time Eddie!

Fox: we can't let Buck and Eddie interact, the fans will read too much into it

ABC: they already do so why not give them something to read into

Fox: the show doesn't need promoting

ABC: put the cast in front of a camera and let them say whatever the fuck they want

Fox: Maddie and Eddie are only interesting when they're traumatised

ABC: wrong again! Look at these goofballs!

Fox: Buck is the straightest straight to ever straight

ABC: *maniac giggling* he just kissed a guyyyy

Fox: ...

ABC: fuck you!

I feel like the first call was foreshadowing Buck and Eddie’s storyline this episode because Buck gets grabbed by the throat and his issue is that he’s panicking and struggling to come out to people (specifically Eddie) and then Eddie gets grabbed by the uh yknow and goes on to have issues regarding sex and romance and …stuff. Just another cool detail.

Buck coming out but not specifying his sexuality is so important to me. Like, I know they’ve confirmed he’s bi, but he’s not gonna 100% know that after the couple days it’s been since his revelation. His whole view of himself has changed, there’s no way he kissed Tommy and went yep I’m bi always have been always will be. The fact they showed this and had Buck say yeah, look I don’t know what I want BUT I know I want it with a guy is perfect, because he’s still working it out and often times I think queer arcs in tv are very much like here’s a character here’s their sexuality enjoy, but allowing Buck the chance to explore with Tommy without putting any labels/pressure on it is so refreshing and a lot more realistic.

Feeling this deep need for the Madney wedding ep to end by playing I Wanna Dance With Somebody whilst everyone dances with their SOs.

Just remembered the scene where Karen and Chimney get drunk together and gang up on Hen and like, I need more of that. Why haven't they interacted one on one again? That was pure comedy gold! They've known each other the longest out of EVERYONE on the show. How did they first meet? When did they go from being neighbours to friends? Do they still hang out one on one? If so show me. Please. I'm begging.

It's forever going to bother me that 7x04 is seemingly going to be known by the media as 'The Bachelor Crossover'. Like no. It took up about 5 mins of the episode. More important things happened in that episode. MUCH more important things.

What if the reason Eddie only has the collar of his shirt on is because his Catholic guilt intensifies so much more when he's shitfaced that he tries to correct it by entertaining the idea of becoming a reverend or something, like imagine:

Eddie: god HATES me Buck!

Buck: nahhhh he doesn't. But IF he does how you gonna fix it?

Eddie: idk, become one of his mi-minions?

Buck: yeah but then you'll have to wear the uh outfit thingy with the collar and that's NOT a look

Eddie: what? You don't think I could pull it off? I could TOTALLY pull it off! Watch!

Eddie: *proceeds to rip off his shirt*

Eddie: SEE! I can TOTALLY pull it off!

Buck *bluescreening*: ...uhuh yeah totally

Headcanon that Tommy's an anti-nickname person, but not in a Buckley parents you-have-a-legal-grownup-name-so-use-it way, more in a i-know-your-legal-name-so-will-use-it-to-show-how-much-i-care-about-you way.

Love how we were all convinced Chimney was gonna be kidnapped and rescued by Tommy when in actuality he’s just got a case of life threatening sniffles and takes himself for a wander around LA with the hallucination of his wife’s very dead ex.

Real question is does Chimney get his car back?

Why do I get the feeling Maddie and Chimney weren’t allowed to have a “proper” wedding ceremony because the writers couldn’t choose between Buck or Josh being Maddie’s Maid (man?) of Honour? It’s obvious Hen was gonna be Best Man (woman?) but I guess they just went “sorry we’re gonna have to stick Chim in the hospital and have everyone stood in a clump so we can avoid deciding which one will stand next to Maddie, you’ve gotta pick your battles and this ain’t one of them, what can you do?”

Ok, but if the 118 + Tommy are getting awarded for the cruise ship rescue does that mean that they're going to be facing the Chief? After directly going against orders? Because I reckon that's going to be an incredibly tense and awkward interaction. The Chief's all professional but also being very passive aggressive about the ceremony and awards and the gang are all we were just doing our jobs, you didn't HAVE to award us. (Bonus points for a 1 on 1 between the Chief and Tommy where they acknowledge the fake mouth static and we finally see Tommy get outwardly nervous)

Rewatching 7x03 and I just noticed that in the underwater shot of the capsized cruise ship they animated a little shark swimming by! I missed that the first time round but whoever came up with the idea deserves an award.

Just thinking about the financial hits the 118 have taken this year:

- failed cruise

- lost luggage because of said cruise (includes fancy dresses, jewellery, bobby’s one suit and athena’s toothbrush)

- helicopter fuel(?)

- eddie’s medical bill

- buck’s apartment bills maybe?

- tommy’s incorrect coffee (coffee’s expensive these days)

- henren expanding their family (we love this for them but again children are expensive these days)

- the bachelor party

- the bachelor party aftermath

- the wedding (catering, venue, photography etc)

- chimney’s carjacking

- chimney’s phone

- chimney’s medical bills

- eddie dating two women simultaneously (surely makes a dent in the monthly budget)

- bobby’s carjacking

- bobby’s medical bills

- potentially athena and bobby’s entire house?!

- therapy bills (frank can afford to retire because of the firefam)

And I’m sure they aren’t done! I hope they’ve all got really good insurance because this is so much worse than usual.

Who? Me? How am I doing? Ahahahahahaha! Terribly.

Whatever you do, don't think about Eddie ending the season 'isolated' due to the fact that in the case of Bobby's death he's going to have no one to comfort him.

Dont think about how he's basically put the nail in the coffin in his and Marisol's relationship.

Dont think about how he has just retraumatised his son, who's now probably going to be very angry and ignore him for a while.

Dont think about how he's finally let Shannon go so he doesn't have the ghost of her to fall back on.

Sure, he'll have the rest of the 118, but they've all got their own people to turn to.

And REALLY dont think about him turning to Buck for comfort in the hospital, but sees Buck is already being comforted by Tommy, because he doesn't need Eddie as much now he has Tommy.

Just don't think about it.

Putting it out there now that tomorrows ep isn’t allowed to be sad because I have been battling a blocked nose for the past six days and crying will reverse any progress I’ve made so yeah. For my physical well-being (as well as my emotional wellbeing) Bobby can’t die, Christopher can’t leave with his grandparents, hen and Karen can’t lose Mara, Eddie can’t be having a breakdown and any other curveballs are not allowed to be thrown.

Would love if season 8 had the 118 repping the LAFD at Pride, BUT specifically while they’re under Gerrard. Hear me out, ok. You’ve got homophobic, misogynistic, racist dinosaur being FORCED to attend Pride for his JOB and having to seem like he’s enjoying it so he doesn’t get fired. He has to watch the openly lesbian firefighter under his command show the openly bisexual firefighter under his command all the wonders of the event, perhaps with the help of the openly gay firefighter that used to be under his command who is shacking up with aforementioned openly bisexual firefighter. He has to watch them be HAPPY and COMFORTABLE and FREE and he can do NOTHING because he’s representing the LAFD, he’s getting paid to walk through a crowd, this should be one of the easiest days of his career. And yet he hates it. He’s dying to say something homophobic and wipe the smiles off everyone’s faces but he CAN’T, and the firefighters who have had to put up with ridicule under his command know he CAN’T and shove it in his face as much as possible. Maybe he even breaks and causes a scene which goes viral and puts pressure on the brass to fire him, or maybe he just suffers in silence. Either way, the 118 will finally get their comeuppance in the form of happiness and rainbows and acceptance and love.

Tell me why I've yet to see a video/edit of the tevan/bucktommy reveal in 7x06 to that one audio from TASM. You know, the one that goes:

"What happened to your face? It's filthy!"

"Oh, yeah, I was cleaning the chimney"

"We have no chimney!"

"Whaaaaaaaat!"

Like come on! It's literally MADE for this scene. Someone please make it for me. Please.
