you guys ever think about how chimney ushers in his life as a firefighter the day his brother dies and how almost twenty years later he ushers in his life as a captain the day another one does..... my guy tangled up his roots in this calling of a life with a grief so big he closed himself off from letting his team know him truly for years but when it happens again he opens up his hurt and shows it to the world and says we will survive this together, so help me god and he's right.... they do..... chimney han....

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

[boogerwookiesugarcookie]

he literally did in the fourth one when he's asked if he likes cars more than women

[explorerrowan]

If you asked if he was cool with trans people, he'd probably say "sometimes, aftermarket parts are the only way to get the vehicle you really want. Everyone should have the right to hot rod."

Thinking about Buck's endlessly traumatic relationship with medical personnel.

Where all the other characters are shown to regularly attend in-person therapy, Buck sticks with zoom therapy because the first and last time he had an in-person therapist she slept with him during the session. Where Hen was chastised for trying to treat herself and where Maddie checked herself into an actual rehab facility, for Buck the gang decides it's best to build a home-grown rehab facility around him instead.

Buck being born to have his bone marrow harvested as an infant. His parents' insistent hatred of hospitals shoved in his face every time he's hurt. Maddie's abusive husband being a doctor. Malicious imaginary coma-dream Daniel being a doctor. Getting his leg crushed and being told by his doctors that his dreams are coming to an end. Getting screws in his leg and almost dying from the embolism they caused. Trying to escape the never-ending stretching halls of the hospital in his coma dream. Getting obliterated by a car-crash-kidnapping combo, being taken to the hospital, and being prescribed opioids that he immediately gets addicted to. And when he talks to an actual doctor about the problem he practically gets told to fuck off and figure it out.

At first I really thought it was kind of sweet and whimsical that they were all doing a DIY rehab for Buck at home but when you actually look at the receipts it all stacks up into a heaping pile of Oh, shit.

ok to add to lou's incredible post on buck and systems I think the exchange between him and eddie is so fascinating through that lens! because the way eddie frames his reassurance is fundamentally like. the brass will take this into consideration. you are getting the help you need because you put your faith in the system. the chain of command leads to accountability which allows us to support each other.

but that's not what really happens! sure buck reported to chim as his captain but notably chim does not go by standard procedure. sure he technically works within the system but only to appeal for them to let him handle it 'in-house'. he creates a support system for buck outside of the system, by making himself the point of accountability. this isn't buck being saved by the system, this is buck being saved by his brother taking advantage of gaps in the system to do something very risky for him!

and it's just so interesting that eddie frames it as being an inherent part of the system. both eddie and buck agree that the support and community they have is a good thing, but eddie believes that it is because buck worked within the system, and buck believes that it is because he trusted his brother.

not sure why eddie’s so upset about buck canceling his therapy appointment to go to maddie’s for dinner - that’s where his therapist baby bobby nash lives

americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those

something about Ravi's journey from "you guys are so weird" and "I'm not with them" to being completely on board with sleuthing with the aid of old architectural drawings and full on breaking and entering is so beautiful, our baby boy is all grown up and as unhinged as the rest of them, mission accomplished

Harry only knowing one type of ED, getting bid on by his mother, being FREAKED out by his sister and coworker having sex, wanting to get a workplace tattoo for a job he’s been at probably less than 6 months, getting his night guard delivered to his work. that is accurate 18 year old representation.
