I’m rewatching 911 with my coworker and not having to pay attention to the plot and watch the background actors is way more entertaining than it should be

Writing a 911 fic with an oc as Tommy’s younger sister and shows up to the 118 after a personal tragedy. She’s navy and Tommy takes care of her son while she’s deployed. She knew Chim/Hen/Bobby when she was a kid. What does everyone think?

I can’t watch 911 live tomorrow due to a family thing. So this is how I’m going to be rambling to my family about the show the entire night

I just know Frank is TIRED of the 118 + family. My man cannot catch a break with this group.

You can’t tell me that man doesn’t have a therapist of his own due to having to make all of them at least half functioning adults and members of society

I’m feeling everything and nothing at the same time

Dean Winchesters death broke me. Bobby Nash’s death would destroy me completely

Everyone say it with me

Bobby WILL be fine. Mara WILL be reunited with henren and Denny. BuckTommy date WONT be interrupted. Chris WILL stay in LA. EDDIE GOES BACK TO THERAPY.

The reaction I had to hearing Gerrard’s voice was VISCERAL. I was retching and actively trying to crawl out of my skin

The fact that from left to right is the range of emotions that I felt when I heard Gerrard’s voice/saw him in the season finale is hilarious thinking back on it

They truly captured the full experience of confusion to grossed out to furious on their faces

I’m coming out as a chimbobby truther, even if it’s a season one special. No one can convince me they didn’t have something going on at some point

So maybe I'm just reading too much into this, but at the end of the episode when Buck was talking to Taylor, and she asked if Mitchell got to see his kid i was expecting him to say something along the lines of how he got to save him. But we know from earlier in the episode that Mitchell didn't want his kid to know that the heart was from him. So I wonder if Buck didn't tell Taylor about it because he didn't trust her not to report it.

anyway something to consider as you are circling back to write another post - lawsuit specific fic ---- as it is the one thing the fandom will reliably fall back on ---- and that is how the fandom is generally very good at acknowledging one character’s trauma to the detriment of other existing traumas.

first and foremost being that these are all emergency responders, and as such are all probably suffering from moral injury in conjunction with their PTSD --- few first responders escape without one or the other, and often both. first responders don’t get adequate time or resources to recover from one individual trauma, let alone each and every that they have to deal with, and they have to deal with a lot, and to little resolution. it’s a lot for anyone’s emotional bucket to hold. what’s more ( and more important in this context ) than that, the other members of the 118 each have their own trauma to contend with, unrelated to the job, that plays into this situation specifically: Bobby, with the deaths of his family; Hen, who was abandoned by her father & who has mentioned difficulties in being raised by a single mother; Chim, who was abandoned by his father & who watched his mother die of cancer, as well as the loss of Kevin; Eddie, who has an emotionally complicated relationship with his own parents & an estranged wife he watched die.

the point: they’ve all got their own compounded traumas, and specifically all have issues revolving around family & abandonment, and that lends to decisions regarding behavior around those they consider family and situations they might consider abandonment. there’s not an inherently proper way to respond to these circumstances. ( also, this idea that the team just abandoned Buck to his recovery isn’t necessarily true, it’s got more to do with what they’ve chosen to show us on screen, and the reality of that is they focused on Eddie visiting Buck as a lead in to the tsunami arc as well as to affirm the intimacy of their friendship rather than, i think, a deliberate point at making the rest of the team seem like they don’t give a shit. )

it also needs to be taken into consideration that in the episodes themselves, the team doesn’t just abandon or decide to take out their problems on Buck, despite the way it’s often portrayed by fandom. Hen reaches out to Buck of her own accord, and Chim makes jabs at Bobby for the way he’s handling his feelings regarding Buck’s accident & resultant complications. as for Eddie, he’s not reaching out specifically because of the lawsuit --- he was told that he couldn’t, and so he doesn’t even though it’s implied he wanted to, and this is on top of all of the compounded trauma in his personal life that he isn’t properly dealing with ( which is another thing entirely, and we all collectively know he’s not appropriately dealing with it but that really isn’t anyone but Eddie’s fault at any point, either. ) Bobby himself is reacting because he’s still trying to parse out his own guilt, both for the ladder truck bombing specifically, but also at his issues with the loss of his wife & kids, to which he also still feels responsible. it’s not often considered his perspective of fear of losing someone else he was supposed to protect --- and while i will tend to agree it was something of an overreach, and it’s something that would have been solved with real actual communication, something these people tend to lack in earnest, it doesn’t make it less of a trauma fueled reaction, same as Buck’s, but he’s given less leeway for it because it’s not considered a favorable trauma response ( and it’s not considered favorable because it doesn’t work in favor of the fandom’s favorite, to be frank. ) never at any point is it implied that any of these people are harassing Buck after he comes back, or ignoring him out of malice, and frankly, anyone outside of the immediate group that we recognize as the core 118 kind of has a right to be distant with the man that they don’t necessarily know on an intimate level anyway, especially after he just sued the department and they have no context for the situation.

and it’s not that Buck’s trauma doesn’t absolutely take a part in his decision to file the lawsuit, because it’s very much that response driving his impulsive decision, but it’s often enough not taken into consideration how everyone else’s trauma plays into their response to his filing. a majority of the time, these fics tend to be from the perspective of feeling bad for Buck and demonizing the team, when realistically the perspective needs to be somewhere in the middle because it’s not a clean cut situation. the fandom hyper - sympathizes with ( read: tends to woobify ) Buck without taking into consideration that he is an unreliable narrator inherently, and that just because he feels a certain way doesn’t make it the reality of the situation.

High achiever, don't you see?

Baby, nothing comes for free

They say I'm a control freak

Driven by a greed to succeed

Nobody can stop me

'Cause it's my problem if I wanna pack up and run away

It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway

It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide

And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die

Eddie Diaz × Evan "Buck" Buckley

"Cause you've got me and you know

That I've got you and I know

If the tide takes California

I'm so glad I got to hold ya

And if the sky falls from Heaven above

Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love

We've been livin' on a fault line

And for a while, you were all mine

I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart

I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart

'Til forever falls apart"
