Daydreaming about a story where Grace does return home and is struggling to reacclimate to life on Earth and then eventually gets a weird pop up and it’s Rocky who figured out long range communication so he could talk to Grace again :’)

[edgebug]

i see your "reading gracerocky fic but shaking my head a little the whole time to show that i also support fully aroace grace"

and i raise you my own "interpreting grace and rocky as strictly platonic but shaking my head a little to show that a. i support the shippers/believe in their beliefs and b. my reasoning is NOT at ALL that i am opposed to a human fucking a spider made of rocks, that part rules actually"

[robertfagden]

i feel like eddie diaz jst needs to watch 9-1-1. i think if we just sat him down and watched with him he would figure it out we wouldnt even need to walk him through it

[blackwidowsaturn]

where's the fic

[poughkeepsiesjr]

eddie dragged his broken and beaten body all around an unfamiliar state, jumped out a window, borrowed a horse, stole a car, held a woman at gunpoint, used that same woman as a shield to hold her ex-husband at gunpoint, ran toward buck and away from cops holding HIM at gunpoint, and then when it was all said and done drove them ten hours back to the safety of LA with that same broken and beaten body. no one can EVER say he doesn't love buck exactly as much as buck loves him

[buckbuckleybegins]

actually so so so so fucking funny how buck is still doing the whole woof woof this is my house this is my spot growllllll you’re not welcome here shtick 8 years after because he loves his firefamily so much and he loves his place at the 118 and he has a not-so-hidden fear of being replaced and it usually just weirds out the recipient of all the growling to the point that they leave him be except that one time 8 years ago where the person buck went all growllll you’re not supposed to act like you’ve been here all the time woof just went okay so we’re best friends now :) and buck just went grrrr— wait :o … we’re best friends now :D

After Buck is rescued from being kidnapped by Eddie I need the editors on tiktok to make copious amounts of edits of them to The Albatross by Taylor Swift please and thank you

[911onabc]

half of the buddie plots are like “i’m jealous of your new friend/coworker/dog” and the other half are like “i would lay down my life for you because i’d rather not be alive than live without the other half of my soul”

[always-rolling-my-eyes]

Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

[eddiesmedbag]

inspired by this post, but hen and chim call each other best friend with so much love and fondness. 'you're the best friend i've ever had, chim, and i can't imagine my life without you.' and it's so interesting because buddie is the complete opposite. they usually only refer to each other as best friend when something negative is happening or if they feel like they are lying to one another

1. buck during the tsunami worrying how he was going to tell his best friend that he lost his son

2. buck talking about maiming his best friend, something he did due to misguided feelings

3. buck spiraling out because he lied to his best friend

4. eddie confessing to a priest that HE lied to his best friend

5 + 6. buck being sad that his best friend is in texas and then being in deep denial when maddie brings up the fact he might be in love with his best friend

the tonal shift between henchim and buddie is insane to me. we have chimney saying things like, 'you are my best friend. my very opinionated, sometimes wrong best friend. you were trying to protect me, and i love you for that.' versus buck and eddie who almost hide behind the term best friend? also the fact that we had only heard buck call eddie his best friend ONCE prior to buck's bi arc.

it's especially telling that the only time eddie says it, it is in a confessional after a noticeable pause. they don't use the term best friend like it is something to be celebrated a lá henchim. they use it like it isn't the right title, but it's all they have.

[eddiesmedbag]

realized that hen and chim have each said 'you're my best friend' to each other multiple times. it is something that comes easy to them. but every single time buck or eddie refer to each other as best friend, they are talking to other people. they have never once said it to the other....

aside from saying it to tommy before their first kiss, buck has only said it when talking to maddie. and eddie has only said it to a priest. it's almost like they can use the term best friend when they felt guilt or if they are in denial.

for the tsunami, the maiming, the lying... they both felt guilt. we only see this change when eddie leaves for texas. buck goes from guilt to denial.
