Why argue for "excited big brother" Chris vs "complicated feeling of being replaced" Chris when the correct answer is clearly both
Him being both big brotherly and exciting for his new family member and having complicated feelings about Buck having a "Real" kid and the undefined role Buck plays in his life are not mutually exclusive and should both be explored
theo asking buck at a 118 family dinner if ‘dad’ can read his bedtime story tonight because he does better voices. the mood gets a little somber and buck tries to save it by saying ‘hey, but you liked when i read you that story we picked out yesterday, right bud?’ and theo groans and is like ‘nooo, i like it when dad does it!’ and points at eddie. bc dad is what christopher calls him. buck proceeds to choke on his drink and only recovers after eddie thumps him on the back a handful of times (the madneyhenren group chat is on fire for the rest of the night)
When I say I want a reverse-tsunami with Eddie and Theo, I don't actually mean I want a tsunami, I want an emergency where Eddie and Theo are together and Eddie has to protect him alone while Buck is not there.
The emergency can be anything.
I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED AND COME BEARING FIC RECS!!! I have been non-stop reading Theo included Fics since the finale and love these situations. Ngl add Theo (9-1-1 TV) to your Additional Tags on AO3 and you will not be disappointed...
My fave two so far are:

I'm gonna take a guess and say I'm not alone in some times struggling to keep track of who's in which fandom, right? Especially when scrolling through my Tumblr feeds.
Cause for me, 1) I'm new to Tumblr and 2) I've only recently started reading fanfics from multiple fandoms (and relatively new to fan fiction in general).
So when I started, I solely read Marvel. Therefore, it meant when I saw the name Steve it only referred to Steve Rogers aka Captain America.
But then I got into Stranger Things. So now Steve is either Steve Rogers or Steve Harrington.
But then, I ship Steve (Harrington) with Eddie Munson. Which was great and I love them as a couple.
... untill TikTok introduced me to 911. Where we now have Eddie Diaz.
The Eddie Diaz that I ship with Evan 'Buck" Buckley.
AND GUESS WHERE ELSE I CAN FIND A BUCKLEY?!
the iconic queen and best friend of Steve Harrington, Robin Buckley.
So just now I found a post, and to quickly figure out which fandom (for context) I'm reading I scan the names. And I see Steve, Wayne, Eddie.
From that, my brain should have immediately gone, 'oh stranger things' but no... because Wayne is in the middle my brain registers the Steve and Eddie at different speeds and is extremely confused when it comes up with a Steve Rogers x Eddie Diaz ship.

Are there Autistic and ADHD vampires? Like statistically if vampires exist and all are turned at somepoint in life. Statistically some of them have to have autistic and ADHD and other neurodiversities, right?
Like an Autistic vampire that can tell you exactly what happen on a specific date centuries ago but not because it was a significant date but because there was that really weird smell in their home and they spent hours hunting it.
Or one day they have a meltdown because their favourite comfort garment from the 1700s ripped till its unusable and they cant replace it because no person knows how to make it anymore.
I may be late to the party but ive just started watching The Adventures of Merlin.
I'm 10 episodes in and the gay subtext is gay subtexting VERY loudly...
Update from this. I'm on Season 5, Arthurs Bane pt 1.
Season 1 was very gay subtexty. season 2-4 ngl i struggled to see it. it was there but it was under a lot. I mostly saw it in Merlin's violent declarations of I would die for you. aand when Arthur would go out looking for him even when everyone around him said don't he's "just a servant". plus I was rooting for Gwen and Arthur.
But its been one episode of Season 5 it the Gay subtext is BACK and LOUD.
ADHD diagnosis headcanon
911 Season 9 finale spoilers

So I was thinking the other day how Buck and Theo almost definitely have ADHD, right?
The Buckley-Diaz family (and by extension the firefam) are used to adapting to neurodivergency/disabilities with little to no fanfare. With Chris's CP, Eddie's CPTSD, Hen's Dermatomyositis, Maddie's PPD, and Buck's (undiagnosed) ADHD. They just go with it as new and old symptoms surface.
Plus because of their jobs they're used to adapting. So over time they've learnt to adapt their ways to accomodate and support one another.
But for Theo, going into a school environment that is more rigid to change without a diagnosis, he struggles. He struggles so much. Too much sitting still and focusing on one thing at a time. Just as he's getting to understand and enjoy a topic its time to move on. He gets called too loud, excitable, impulsive, doesn't think. Theo understands that something is wrong with him, but its seems like only school can see it. His Dads and brother don't seem to treat him differently like the kids at school does.
The comments on report cards and at parents evening continue until 2nd Grade when his teacher pulls Buck and Eddie in for a chat.
She says she's been looking over Theo's school reports and observing him in class. She explains her observations and how they seem to fit the DSM criteria for ADHD and she suggests he gets tested.
Buck's initial reaction is "he can't have ADHD, that sounds like me as a kid and I don't have it" not in a complete denial thing, refuse to deal with it attitude but in an initial shock way.
The teacher tries to gently suggest it often runs in families.
Buck looks to Eddie for his opinion and he looks pensive, thoroughly thinking through the teachers findings. Finally saying something like "it would make a lot of sense if he does have it"
Buck puts aside his own feelings in that moment to focus on Theo, and asks what are the next steps to get a diagnosis.
She points them to their healthcare provider with a letter of recommendation signed by herself and the special educational needs co-ordinator of the school.
Naturally this leads to Buck going down a research spiral about ADHD. He's kinda in denial. He sees the traits in Theo, which to him is fine - makes sense even, but he also sees them in himself. So, he talks to Maddie about what she remembers from his childhood. To Chimney about his observations as his co-worker and captain. To Athena asking if Bobby ever talked to her about things he'd noticed about Buck. Eddie finally points out examples of his behaviour relating to the ADHD traits. That final conversation makes Buck concede that maybe he does have ADHD.
He makes a doctors appointment three days later.
As a result of the extensive research Buck and Eddie begin to look at their world differently. They see how easy they've adapted already. How well life works when they meet each other where they are at rather than forcing them into a specific way.
Months Later, Theo gets officially diagnosed. The teacher guides them through how they can work together going forward to accommodate the school system so Theo thrives.
She warns them it will be a fight at times, it'll be important to teach Theo to advocate for himself as well as for him. Buck and Eddie, used to fighting for Chris's accommodations' and backing him up when he advocates for himself, understand fully.
A few months after that, Buck also gets diagnosed. Which Theo delights in. He already knew that his family understands him but is ecstatic to find his Dad is like him.
Buck also cries that night to Eddie, because looking back it was obvious yet no-one did anything about it. Eddie holds him, reminds him how much he is loved and secretly curses the damn Buckley parents for the 1200th time.
christopher deploying theo on buddie like a small nuclear bomb. 'hey spiderman you know what would make buck make a funny face? if you asked him when he and dad are getting married.'
'theo c'mere, guess what, if we lock dad and buck in the bedroom together we can totally jump on the sofa, isn't that cool?'
'here have a marker, yeah you can draw on the door. why don't you draw a big heart and I can write both their names in? if you tell them it's because you love them they won't get mad at you :)'
it's not just for buddie he'll do it for his own gain too. sometimes he just gives theo and jee sugar and confetti and nobody bothers him while he's playing video game for hours. he hears the adults running and panicked in the living room and lies back with the satisfaction of a job well done.
wait wait wait hold on... i knew all these things individually, but suddenly the pieces came together
st. christopher, patron saint of travellers — st. theodore, patron saint of soldiers
the traveller and the soldier
LET ME LOSE ALL OF MY HOPE IN PEACE WILL YOU?!! STOP DRAGGING ME BACK!
This is my first time learning this... OMG I LOVE IT AHHHHHHH
Eddie: Buck is acting off...you know what that means?
Chris: you're going to take me to him and hover off to the side looking on fondly?
Eddie: ...do we do this-
Chris: every time since I was like 7, let's go.

Homer has never been hotter in Hollywood.
love the concept of Wayne not trusting Steve because of his reputation/knowing his father. but have we considered that he probably heard the news story about a girl disappearing from Steve’s house and might think he and his friends did some kind of hazing that went too far
now the dad/son’s boyfriend distrust is funny but also imagine Wayne just being bone deep terrified. his kid is gay in the 80s Midwest and he’s been hunted before and now the guy he’s dating is an ex-jock who might’ve participated in killing someone. and he trusts him implicitly for some reason. just. Wayne not sleeping the first few times Steve sleeps over because he’s keeping watch in case Eddie gets hurt
thought about this post again after MONTHS and just. the image of Wayne having seen Eddie half eaten in the hospital and being terrified of it happening again and then. he brings a potential threat into their home with seemingly no fear. it’s be emotional about Wayne hours chat
@scoops-aboy86 no this goes IN THE POST. steve realizing that it’s not just fatherly protectiveness. Wayne’s cageyness around him isn’t worry for Eddie’s heart it’s worry for his safety. and he knew he used to be a jerk but he didn’t think he was THAT bad
Yes! And also… Bonus angst points if Barb’s death is also the reason Steve’s parents aren’t around much.
When Eddie finally figures out what’s going on he just sits down and cries with his head in his hands for a minute—because this horrible thing happened that’s not even Steve’s fault but Nancy held him responsible for it, his parents held him responsible for it, and now Wayne too. Wayne, who Eddie swore to Steve would come around eventually because he’s an excellent judge of character.
And maybe Wayne tries to reassure his nephew that it’s going to be okay… Except he doesn’t know about Nancy or the Harringtons, so he thinks he’s comforting an Eddie who’s finally coming around to acknowledging that Steve is not only dangerous but also unsettlingly good at manipulating everyone into thinking he isn’t—so Wayne ends up saying all the wrong things.
YEAHHHHH and that just makes Eddie angrier because Steve’s done literally nothing to deserve that?!?! Even when he was a jerk he wasn’t dangerous. And now? When he’s put his life on the line for all of them on multiple occasions? Hearing “it’s okay, this isn’t your fault, he fooled you like he fooled everyone else” sets him off
and ofc Wayne thinks he’s still in denial, but now Eddie’s so mad that he doesn’t talk about Steve at all anymore and he’s thinking “oh. oh no i pushed too soon and now he’s gonna throw himself further in danger bc he’s angry”
Wayne is, in part, overcompensating for not realizing how bad of a parent Al would be to Eddie. And he’s not projecting Dick Harrington’s sins onto Steve, he just fully believes that Dick is the kind of man who could inadvertently raise a psychopath.
There’s Barb’s death in ‘83. Starcourt burned down in ‘85 with a whole mess of people on it, including that Hargrove boy who even Wayne had heard had run-ins with Steve (reported in the news as one of the survivors, by name because he was 18). Hargrove’s car had been suspiciously wrecked in the parking lot, too, sitting out there for all to see while the mall still smoldered. Then the three murders in ‘86 that Eddie was almost held accountable for. Wayne knows from Eddie’s griping over the entire school year (because of his not so little crush) that Steve was always hanging around the high school, giving rides to the youngest new additions to Hellfire. It’s strange for a a nineteen year old who’s not in school anymore to latch onto a gaggle of completely unrelated fourteen year olds who are, isn’t it? Could’ve been using them as a cover while scouting for victims. And then there’s the way that Steve never seems to flinch that he can tell, not about anything; he’d seen the boy accidentally burn himself on the stove once and barely even react. That’s not normal. He’s convinced that something is very, very wrong with Steve.
Unfortunately, that last part is true. Steve is incredibly traumatized and an accomplished dissociator, because he’s too used to being the tank of the party to let himself be vulnerable easily. The only reason Wayne doesn’t know Steve has nightmares is because of the insomnia; he’s mistaken shell-shock for something insidious.
In first study of its kind, Cambridge researchers found AI toys could misread some children's emotions.
It isn't until at least a few months post vecna when Eddie figures it out
Lucas has been using jock knowledge to help fight his bad guys in DND
He is now demanding Steve explain shit to him so he can counter it
Eddie begrudgingly goes to a game to cheer Lucas on, when the team starts move in a way very familiar to him although he can't place why.
He swears very loudly later on when he realises that play was exactly how the party defeated the very complex big bad villian Eddie had been so confident in, in their most recent campaign.
So I had this thought a while ago about Oliver Queen and his return from Lian Yu to civilisation.
(Context: i've only seen the CW TV show, very little knowledge of the comics and its been a while since i watched the show)
So for the better part of 5 years he was in an environment where food sources where scarce. Whether thats on the island and he had to forage or on the run/with Argus etc.
The show somewhat addresses the toll it took coming back to a safe environment after living in survival mode for so long (PTSD). - eg. Oliver attacking Moria mid storm because he thought he was back on the island and being attacked by a hostile. Even Sometimes using it for the punchline - any joke about what he missed.
But I was wondering how would that transition effect other aspects like his eating habits? Eg. Going from a food scarce to a food abundant environment.
---
So, What if Oliver developed an Eating Disorder or developed disordered eating habits because of his experience on the island?
Maybe he doesn't eat a lot because of the anxiety of choosing what to eat. There's so much choice when you're not having to hunt or scavenging it. Especially living in a rich family with private chefs who can make anything one would want.
Similarly he doesn't like going out to fancy restaurants for a while because the food is so rich with flavour hes no longer used to it. That and theres too many people to watch for threat assessment around him, its dizzying. If he does do it, esp in early years, its because of a social reason or to prove hes fine even though he never enjoys it.
Or the Anxiety comes from the way its prepared. He made enemies working for the Bratva and Amanda Waller. His anxiety comes from wondering if someone's poisoned it and not being able to see how the food was prepared. That and he has accidentally poisoned himself enough times to learn what NOT to do.
Or instead of prolonging eating from anxiety he ends up binge eating because he's so used to not knowing when or where his next meal will come from.
Perhaps he experiences a mixture of all the above.
---
Sidenote: I could imagine for a few years after his return he REFUSES to eat fish of any kind. It was the only animal protein source he had on the island and cannot stand to eat it without being transported back to memories he'd rather forget.
---
I think it takes a while for people closes to him to notice. He acts so 'fine' with his transition back to civilisation so people dont really question it.
The first person to notice i think would be Tommy. Or Dig. Then maybe Felicity. Especially in those early days. Moira, Walter, and Thea don't notice untill he is recovering. They just accept the excuses he gives, after all they have bigger things to worry about in those earlier seasons.
Tommy knew Oliver from before so he knows how Ollie used to behave and how different it is now, esp in the small moments where he sees behind the brave face Ollie puts on. He doesnt really know what it is or how to help so he finds way around the anxieties he notices. Like instead of " you hungry, what do you want?" he'll make the decision "I really fancy [that one restaurant ollie loved before] we are going". or he'd request quieter tables, or always offer to share something.
Dig and Felicity notice the most but it took a while to piece it together. Believing the "i ate earlier"/ "ill eat later" excuses.
Maybe Dig has encountered other Veterans or Spy friends that have similar anxieties (big restaurant/poisonings). And he's around Oliver the most being his bodyguard.
Once they clocked on to some of the anxieties and hit more of that "friends status" of their relationships they could bring it up a few times and ways to help him.
After a few years back from Lian Yu the disordered eating gets better or he finds ways to manage the anxiety by eating a different way, preparing his own meals etc.
I have no intention of writing a fic with this topic. Mainly because I haven't watched the show in a while and I dont want to restart. Feel free to use the idea, I only ask to be tagged because I wanna read it. Or if you have any recs exploring this, respectfully, GIMME! plz.
