Du er ikke alene.

Bi. Depressed.

What happened to the found family aspect of this show

[meatdiaz]

okay anyway. you can call me negative or a doomer or whatever you like to call people who still deeply care about this show but don’t feel like pretending everything’s fine all the time. but i guess i just wish i had more character development on my character-driven tv show, that’s all. and that i didn’t have to routinely count on fanfiction writers to do what the show itself is supposed to do

[phanfiction--addiction]

It feels like lately they’ve been placing the emphasis of your family being your blood relatives.

Maddie is the only one consistently there for Buck. Eddie is going through something and the Diaz family and Christopher help him. Athena and May and Harry are off in their own little world.

What happened to the dynamics of everyone being a family?

Eddie getting coffee with Karen and Hen. Everyone showing up to the hospital when Chimeny was stabbed. Athena helping Buck track down Maddie when she was kidnapped. Buck supporting Eddie through his breakdown in Season 5. Chimney helping Hen study for medical school.

The found family dynamics of this show is what made it special

Now those dynamics feel completely gone

[phanfiction--addiction]

The inconsistency of the writing and dynamics of 911 over the last few seasons doesn’t make it “an unpredictable, thrilling show!”

It makes it shitty show that people are eventually going to stop investing in

[phanfiction--addiction]

Buck feels so on the outside of the fire fam right now.

Nobody cares to listen to what he says. Nobody is invested in what’s going on with his life.

It’s honestly depressing.

[phanfiction--addiction]

One thing that’s been really bothering me lately is the way they’re portraying Buck and his dynamic with the 118 fam. This season is making it feel like nobody likes Buck or is invested in his life anymore, besides Maddie and Ravi. It truly feels like they’re the only ones that even like him anymore.

Buck has always been portrayed as a little brother to Chim and Hen and a partner to Eddie. Now suddenly they aren’t paying any attention to him and feel almost indifferent to his feelings and life. It feels like they don’t even care anymore.

None of them knowing about Buck’s obsession with Bobby’s snickerdoodle recipe (when apparently it’s all he’s been talking about for weeks) feels so out of character for the fire fam.

They should be teasing him for never being able to shut up about it. Teasing him for hyper-fixating on it and acting like an excitable kid when he finally figures it out. Not just going “… um sure whatever you say Buck”

I truly feel like 911 killing off Bobby killed the “family” aspect of the team. And I really hate that because it was truly the best part of the show

More time was dedicated to saving random civilians than wrapping up important storylines in this finale

[phanfiction--addiction]

Seriously though what did we get out of this season?

Bobby is dead.

Eddie got Chris back but they never talked what happened with Kim (or if they did it was offscreen)

Buck is back in the same place he was before. Single. No growth from his break up with Tommy. About to be living alone again in a new place that doesn’t feel like home.

About 10 minutes of story lines with Hen and Karen. I mean they adopted Mara but that’s been the plan since the beginning.

Athena alone again. Athena losing the love of her life again. Athena selling her and Bobby’s dream house.

Oh and again Bobby is dead.

So no emotional growth in any of the characters and we lost the center of our found family.

What exactly was the point of this season?

[phanfiction--addiction]

Look one thing that really bothers me is Buck’s ending. We had an entire episode where Buck felt uncomfortable in the house because he was subletting. We had an entire episode of Buck coming to terms with it not being Eddie’s house but making it his home too.

So now to throw Buck saying “It wasn’t really mine. I was subletting” in the finale as his final line?

Doesn’t sit right with me.

[phanfiction--addiction]

No Bobby alive, no buddie canon, no buddie roommates, Athena selling her and Bobby’s dream house

[phanfiction--addiction]

So the Buddie press tour was just to queerbait us into watching the finale?

Cool cool cool.

Aisha, Ryan, and Oliver: Serving face

Kenny: Y’all mind if I scootch on in

[phanfiction--addiction]

911 bringing back minor characters … Hot priest … smurf girl … cart guy

Almost like they’re building up to BRING SOMEONE ELSE BACK?!

BOBBY IS SO ALIVE.

Y’all want emotionally complex characters and then can’t handle these baddies

You’re telling me Clifford the big, beefy bisexual isn’t his biological father

The way Pepa didn’t even hesitate to refer to Eddie as our Eddie when talking to Buck.

She’s known how down bad they are for each other since the beginning.

He’s so in love
