A little rant but I need to say this. So I love Buddie and I have shipped these two since the beggining, I also enjoy Buck as a character on the show.

But we have to talk about how a majority of people write him and Eddie. Buck is not a baby. Buck is a kickass character who has done a lot of growth in the 4 seasons. Buck is not treated badly by the firefam (sometimes you could argue he is downright right favoured) and even in the law suit there where hurt feelings and bad moves all around including Buck.

Then Eddie. Eddie is not aggressive, outside the fighting ring (which was consensual fighting, if idiotic), and actually when Buck was being a little sh*t to him in 2.01 he let it roll off him. Eddie is a POC character with culture and heritage, not just a stereotype. Eddie is an amazing dad AND Eddie is a characther outside of Buck. So many Buddie fics are written with how Buck feels about things (especially the well and the shooting, which is understandable as they where hard for him but Eddie gets left out or worse is the one who has to comfort Buck above anything else and remember he is the one both of these things happend too and has his share of trauma from it)

Eddie is not there to be a plot device for Buck, Eddie is not there to be Bucks comforter regardless of how Eddie feels. Eddie has been through war came home and been a single father and has faced more death experiences.

Chris adores Buck, Buck is his best friend but Eddie is his Dad, this is a kid who wouldn’t let Buck read him his story because he wants Dad to. That is how much he adores his dad. Eddie may have gone off to war and made some bad choices and not have been there for his son, but he provided for them and never stopped loving Chris and when he did come back worked 3 jobs so he could give Chris what he needed, and decided to be the best dad he could be. Buck is like a second parent, is loved by Chris and I see many fics about Chris and Buck generally as Buck as a saviour and honestly not enough of Chris and Eddie.

Eddie is reguarly the bad guy in fics where they have a realtionship spat or disagreement that end with Buck forgiving him and being perfect for doing so.

Lets have some appreciation for Eddie he is a awesome character who probably gets the least show time of the people who work at the firehouse.

In conclusion, Buddie needs to be a equal partnership and I know that a lot of this comes from a love of Buck and not malice but we need to stop doing this. So I am taking any and all fic suggestions where Eddie is written well and as equal. I will devour them and leave many lovely comments. I know there are some amazing fics out there.

9-1-1 thoughts

- The first emergency was hilarious. Mainly the 118s reactions to everything going on. When people start coming forward to say they where the online poster and Chimney has that moment where he is like Spartcus! ME NEXT! And Hen stops him. So small but just GOLD. Eddie is the king of facial expressions this season. “Good luck with the wedding!”

- I really enjoyed seeing Hen work with her school mates. Enough said it was just enjoyable.

- Hen is going to be a kick ass doctor and I loved her putting that Dr in his place. If I could change one thing I would have some Karen there but still

- Micheal and David are adorable and I love seeing them. I also love the relationship the Grant family have with each other in general. The facr that Bobby is the only one who can put up with Micheal and the fact that Micheal is just like. Nah I love you boo, but BOBBY is my pictionary partner

- Eddie, babe, Carla spent multiple days a week in your house. She doesn’t care about where the pillows are positioned.

- Poor Maddie. A colic bany is a absolutely horrfifc thing to experience. They really do just cry and cry it is horrfifc to watch and I haven’t experienced it as a mother but I have watched it and it must be emotionally heart wrenching to be able to do nothing and on top of what looks like potenital post partum.

- Carla’s reunion scene and the hug was adorable

- Carla is also right. But now Eddie has put himself in a tough situation. It seems by the look on his face that following his heart does not lead to Ana and sadly that might hurt Chris but if that’s the way he feels it needs to be sooner rather than later. A good parent needs to do right by themselves just as much as by thier kids to have a healthy relationship. Plus come on Eddie we all know you belong with Buck. I just need to see these to together for my soul.

- I enjoyed the mom and son story line. I could tell what it was but it is really great to see Eddie interacting with kids outside of Chris. He really is also amazing with kids and it is adorable that Chris wants to be Charlie’s friend after 2 seconds. That kid is a gem.

- Seems like Chris is allowed video games again. The Hildy panic must have subsided. I feel Chris probs has Buck to thank for that.

- Bobby and Athena both have a point. The problem here is communication which is life is always easier said than done. I love them and they WILL get through it cause they must. I refuse anything else

- I hoenstly think Eddie my be my fav. I just love him so much and have missed him these last few weeks.

- Poor Charlie. I thought I knew this storyline and where it was going but I didn’t see him giving her the posion.

- Finally EDDIE! No! We may have known this is coming but still. Watching Eddie and Buck reach out for each other and Buck’s stunned face. Eddie must be protected at all costs

- The promo of Buck having to tell Chris that Eddie isn’t coming home tonight breaks me. In ny head he follows that woth we are going to the hospital to see him. Me and you, he cant wait to see you. Because Eddie is FINE and just needs his boys!
