What is it about Shane that you love and were drawn to? He is hyper competent at this one thing. He’s stereotypically masculine in a lot of regards. He’s a kind person, and he’s so overtly Canadian. He’s harboring something that he thinks is a career-ending secret because he just doesn’t have the emotional maturity or societal maturity to sort of understand what his own queerness means. To him, it’s most likely detrimental, which is the wrong assumption to some degree, but it shatters his own idea of what his masculinity is, or at least it cripples it. And yet, he still never harms a fly. (Hudson Williams via The Hollywood Reporter)

HEATED RIVALRY (2025−)

[buckbisexually]

is anyone else so insanely sad that harry without a trace of irony said ‘why would they go to buck for something important?’ when, just earlier this season, we saw him go to buck and say ‘i need your help’. and it’s because of buck’s help and pep-talks and determination that he got into the fire academy and is where he is now. and that kid that immediately sought buck’s help because he trusted him now cracks a ‘joke’ about not being able to imagine someone trusting buck or seeing potential in him. that’s so incredibly sad to me.

like, i’ve seen so many people make the case that chimney making all those slights against buck isn’t an issue because buck isn’t bothered by it (which is debatable), but even if that were true, it’s now clear that this behaviour is having effects on their work environment. the way people speak about buck is actively affecting the way other people - who have happily relied on buck in the past - see him. that’s the point it has gotten to now, and that shouldn’t have happened.

Listen. I didn’t actually want them to do a storyline where Buck has trouble adopting Theo because of his addiction. But. It really is some wild ass writing choices to have a character go through a DOCUMENTED addiction arc in episode 15. And then adopt a child in episode 18.

[ineffabledandelions-deactivated]

People keep saying this and it keeps being wrong. And frankly? Harmful to actual real life people, not just the woobies you're fixated on on screen.

Buck is in recovery. His addiction is not standing in the way He is actively working, has love for the kid and can support it. That is literally all the social worker is going to care about.

Posts like this one are why I wrote about my experience with the foster care/adoption system. Because many of you have no idea what you are talking about.

And frankly, the entire way that this fandom talks about Buck's addiction is terrible. The man did not become unfit to raise a kid or do literally anything else because he is in RECOVERY for addiction. Y'all understood this shit just fine when it was Bobby. Maybe have the same standards, because constantly harping about how recovering addictings art fit to do basic ass life experiences is pretty awful.

[ambernotember]

Yes, but this is the same show and same social worker that had Nia’s mom work for a year to get custody of her back. (And it was explicitly stated that the goal was always family reunification)

The issue is the timeline, not the addiction — it has only been a few weeks that’s Buck’s been in recovery.

The show stated that gathering around the fire pit was Bobby’s death anniversary, in season 8 we know Bobby’s funeral was about 2-3 weeks after that and then Baby Nash was born the next episode/not long after that.

Frankly, that’s probably not a great time to be making huge life choices either.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but that’s where my issues with the storyline lie.

[ambie720]

Ok so as someone who works in a pharmacy, I’ve had some serious issues with the addiction storyline. Mostly because the symptoms and the severity do not add up.

Buck stated that he was taking the oxycodone for 5 weeks, but not on the actual job. Figuring that he probably was off of work maybe…. 3 ish weeks??? Since firefighters work 24-48 hour shifts at a time, and we can assume that Buck is working a full 40 hours, the likely hood of his metabolism not burning through the meds is highly unlikely. Addiction and dependency come from continuous daily use. Yes, 3ish weeks is enough time to become dependent on opioids. BUT. Therein lies the issue. We also need to take into consideration all of the previous injuries that Buck has had. If it was a body dependency, one could argue that Buck would have been dependent during the crush injury timeline. But he obviously wasn’t. He had significantly more severe injuries at that point and would have been on a more prolonged dosing. Not really knowing what his regimen was we can assume he was weaned off of the meds at some point. However, he has previously had no lasting effects from opioids.

It is most likely a mental issue given everything he’s been thrown lately. Which is why the detox severity in the show was quite surprising to me. It was way more intense of a bodily reaction that it would have been if all the facts that were given were accurate. Also, if you honestly think Buck would have been back to work in like two seconds and not had to run through hoops and met requirements handed down from his superiors… yeah. I’m sure that detox at his home with the 118 wouldn’t have been enough. They would have made him go into a program. 30-90 days. Probably randomized drug tests. He would have had to be clean longer than the show actually might state. (But we don’t actually know how long he was out.)

So if we are talking about stressors and not being able to take care of a child so soon after detoxing, I don’t think y’all understand. Theo is GOOD for Buck’s recovery. It gives him a focus. And just like his job- which Buck stated he would NEVER take drugs on the clock and I believe him- he wouldn’t endanger a child either. I fully believe Buck needs to go back to therapy to work through Bobby and honestly the treatment he receives at the 118. But nothing about his current mental state tells me he’s unfit. And he has stated he wanted a family in the past. I don’t love how this came about, but I think it’s a good thing. A healing thing.

I agree with @ineffablecabbage. Let’s just stop the stigma that addicts CAN’T be parents or Foster if they have been vetted. Someone like Buck who had a brief- VERY brief- dependence and sought help in a timeframe that didn’t allow him to fully become reliant? If he was honest about the timeline and exactly what happened. I doubt they would have had issues. He still has to go through plenty of visits and checkups to get Theo permanently. They will probably monitor Buck more than a normal case- but one could say that could be because of the mental health of Theo and his circumstances more than anything.

If we bring up the mother in Hen and Karen’s case- she didn’t have a support system and needed to get back on her feet. THATS why it took so long. She didn’t have a home. Steady employment. Or family to lean on. (From what I remember) Buck’s case is different.

I think a lot of you are judgmental about addicts in general and that’s sad. I see it every day- the way addicts are treated. People on pain meds- or recovering addicts deserve lives too. They have the same damn rights and are not second class citizens just because y’all think on e you’re an addict you can never be trusted to live again. No one sets out to become dependent on opioids or drugs.
