how that conversation in 7x5 really went

[gayedmundodiaz]

friendly neighborhood social worker therapist that works with CPS here to discuss the logistics of Buck getting Theo*

There's this thing called kinship care. This is when a child is taken into custody by the state, and then a relative or a close non-relative takes either temporary or permanent guardianship of the child. Kinship care is not the same thing as foster care, though many aspects are the same. The biggest difference is that a person taking in a child that is known to them via kinship placement does not have to go through foster licensing. They don't have to do the months of classes or licensing requirements. In fact, a kinship placement could potentially happen within days of a child being taken into state's custody. The only things that happen are the people taking the child have to have a home visit with the state social worker to ensure it's an appropriate space, and they do a federal background check. That's it.

In this instance, all Buck would have had to do is call up Deidra and say "I would like to take custody of Theo" and she would have scheduled him for a home visit (probably within the week) and gotten his info to send off a background check. Following the background check coming back and after she does her home visit, it would be a matter of days that she would be bringing Theo to his home. What he was probably signing there with her is the placement letter, which is the document that gives Buck legal right to make decisions for Theo. The placement letter is supposed to be provided at the time the child comes to the home, but it can sometimes be after.

Anyway I am so going to write a fic about the process and what it looked like for him and alllll the appointments and resources and things that come with being a kinship home.

** this is assuming that there were no other relatives that could have taken Theo

[scaredexpert]

This, haha. He would definitely be considered kinship. This process can happen day-of for emergency placements, this is a bit different as I assume Theo was in another home before Buck so they could take more time but it can be very, very quick. [In my state, kinship caregivers can also decide to become licensed foster parents if they want more support (mostly more $ and case management). Annoys me so much that kinship caregivers don't get paid as much as foster parents unless they do a bunch of extra steps.]

Sidenote, my job is actually licensing foster parents and I started a fic once where Buck and Eddie became foster parents together. In my state, two friends can platonically foster together, but you have to be married to adopt together - so it was going to be a very self-indulgent friends-to-husbands Buddie fic 😂 Lol idk if I will ever publish it tho!

Are you quite well, John? You look a wee bit pale.

911 on ABC, not famous for being subtle, is going out of its way to hammer home these two things, over multiple episodes:

1. Buck is SO ready to settle down he can probably get pregnant by sheer will.

2. Eddie is SO not interested in women he's like a skittish horse around any mention of them.

I wonder if the two points are connected 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[weird-goodbyes]

Buck, in the motel voice: Eddie...I need you to just hear me out, I think that the guy who checked us in is wearing a wig and pretending to be his mother....I don't want to kink shame, but we should keep our guard's up, make sure he hasn't killed his mother and kept her decaying body in an upstairs room. Eddie, who has already lived through several Hitchcock movies and The Horrors: hahaha, yeah, I think you're right. wow. lol. damn. anyway, diner?

"(…)it was because of Scarlett herself who might be one of the best female characters ever written for the screen. In an era when good and bad were more clearly defined for audiences, especially when it came to women, the breadth and complexity of Scarlett's story presented a diffrent kind of heroine - an epic anti-heroine.

Grant a wish. Change a life.

One Simple Wish empowers you to brighten the lives of individuals impacted by foster care & crisis by sharing their wishes for you to grant.

Reminder that One Simple Wish exists to bring comfort and joy to children and young adults in and exiting foster care via helping grant their wishes for specific items they want or need, and they have many more time sensitive requests during the holidays! You can filter by gift category, state, birthday or time sensitive specific, or just scroll at random. Options also include being able to make a contribution as small as $10 towards a wish, or just donate.

[scaredexpert]

I'm always hesitant to donate in situations where I don't know exactly where things go and if the org operates how it should, so just wanted to point out that I work in foster care and this is very much something we use for our kids ALL the time to get toys, electronics, camps/activities paid for, etc 💕💕

Eddie Diaz in 9x5: Día de los Muertos.

[tallsinspace]

okay. the reason i think buddie canon is going to happen is i think buck is like oliver's best friend in the world who is not one of his dogs and he wants to represent buck in his fullness so he's pushing for all of the things we notice about him, the adhd, the bisexuality and inshallah the bpd. on the other hand. i think ryan blacks out and gets possessed by the real-life-in-this-world spirit of eddie diaz who is desperately trying to express himself in the world, and the more often ryan channels eddie, the more power eddie has to enact his will in the world. by kissing buck. who is oliver's best friend. and then SEPARATELY. i think oliver has a crush on ryan that he resents because he knows ryan is dumb because he's been kicked in the head 70 billion times which killed the brain cells that weren't gassed out of existence with abercrombie body spray. but also ryan is incredibly handsome and genuinely funny and treats oliver like he's not as deeply weird as he is. so oliver is closer to anirudh and john because they're intelligent hotties but he can't help but giggle at all of ryan's jokes which feeds into buck's bisexuality. ad infinitum.

honestly I need to accept that I just don't like the opening emergency episodes. I'm always hoping they'll be like s2 or s3 and it's a letdown every time 😭🥲

-

on a side note, this season so far feels like a *lot* of things are Shifting in a way I don't like, but that may just be my dislike of the premiere talking so we will see how I feel after 9x4

Stories are like people. Loving them doesn’t make them perfect. You just try and cherish them, overlook their flaws.
