can i say something risqué seeing how we exist in the liminal space of being on hiatus? anyway. i think if they actually went and did cop eddie (ew), we’d have canon romantic buddie by now

You should be able to listen to a full album without looking at your phone. You should be able to watch a 3 hour film from beginning to end without checking social media. If you can't do this, you need to start training your attention span as if it were a physical muscle. I don't experience boredom or restlessness because I've trained my brain to not be dependent on quick stimuli and dopamine hits. If you can't chill on a park bench while waiting for a friend with just your imagination to keep you company, you need to learn how to do it ASAP because one day we may not have access to the internet.

One day not too long ago I was waiting for someone and my phone was in the back of the car and I was too lazy to reach for it so I just zoned out with my thoughts for 15 minutes. And it occurred to me how many people can no longer do this.

Sometimes it's just so peaceful spacing out.

look i used to bring a book with me everywhere and if the internet goes away i'll do it again i just need a bigger purse

Also, I ran this poll for 3 days. Would you rather I run it for the full week?

Okay, it's that time of the year when I talk buddie screentime.

As a reminder, my numbers come from my scenepack cut, not the watchable one I've been making available (you can find those here). The rules for this one are if they are directly interacting for most of the scene, the scene stays in full, if not, I cut around the relevant parts. If they are just in frame at the same time, I cut around them to keep just the times where they are in frame. For 913 specifically, I cut the opening scene since Buck isn't there, the police and dispatch scenes that didn't include Eddie, and the Buck scenes that didn't mention Eddie. I kept all of Eddie's scenes since his plot revolved around finding Buck.

Season 9 is complicated. Not counting the crossover, it had the first episode in the ABC run to have under a minute (904 with 30s) and 3 episodes with over 10 minutes, when 12 episodes on the show go over that mark (of 122). And obviously, we have the first episode to go over 20 minutes. And the crossover, that broke all my records, just for 913 to break them all again the following week.

Counting 9a as 901-910, we have a total of 1h07m07s, and 9b as 911-918 + crossover, we have a total of 1h30m.

With 10 episodes, 9a has a 6m42s episode average.

Realistically, 913 fucks up my math. Crossover + 913 makes it insane. As in 9b's an hour and a half for 9 episodes gives us an insane 10 minutes per episode average lol. Removing both gives us a 4m55s average, which is the lowest from the ABC run, but still higher than the fox run average since that one is 4m23s. And the reduction is understandable when we consider both the crossover and 913 were basically about buddie. I mean, that combo is longer than all of s5. And longer than any half-season, besides 2a, 8a, 9a and b.

9a is the longest half-season ever if we don't count the crossover, detroning 8a, which had 1h01m36s. With the crossover, 9b is the longest.

Overall, s9 is the longest full season, with 2h10m38 seconds without the crossover. With the crossover, it has 2h37m08s. Dethroning s8 that had 1h51m26s. Before that, it was s3 with 1h24m38s.

S9 is also one of 2 seasons where they at least stand next to each other at some point in every episode of the season, the other being s4.

My conclusion in all this is that it feels disconnected since the pacing was weird and the airing schedule was all over the place, but we still got a lot of quality buddie.

Other posts I made on the screentime can be found here. I also have a breakdown of the screentime of all of Buck's love interests up until 811.

Okay, here's an addendum since @theyre-buddies asked for the numbers if we consider the split we have been working with, so 9a being 901-906, 9b being 907-910, and then 9c being what I originally considered 9b. I made the choice to split the season in 2 because of the consistency of the data, but I have the numbers, so lol.

9a had a total screentime of 29m11 seconds in 6 episodes, giving us a 4m51s episode average. 9b had a total screentime of 37m41s, with an average of 9m25 seconds for 4 episodes. Which is quite insane now that I did the math (lowkey went to check the videos to make sure things are right, but yep, they are).

The thing is, 904 really lowers the numbers since it virtually has no buddie, and 907-08 really up those numbers because there are a lot of buddie in 907, and the work to create the parallels for the intervention adds a lot here. Also, 908 has them partnered in the field in a way that doesn't happen in 9a, which also raised the numbers. Both episodes add to 27 minutes, so it offsets the average in a similar way 809's 17m23s did with s8.

So we had a slightly lower average for the first 6 episodes, and then buddie really picked up speed between 907 and 913, then we were back to the 5ish minutes average.

And like @freespirit-2115 pointed out in another reblog, Tim did point out that originally, we were supposed to have Eddie be more involved with Theo already, but there was a change to add Eddie into the ICE plotline, so that lowered their interaction in the finale, 918 being one of of 4 episodes from the abc run (43 episodes) to have 2 minutes or less, having exactly 2 minutes, which did lower the numbers significantly, since it was the only episode of the season, bar 904, to have under 4 minutes. So that lowered the numbers on the season post 913.

The cast on set of 9x18 💗

[doitbuckley]

i know they didn’t mean for it to come off that way but the way the montage played out really did make it feel like buck just impulsively decided to foster a toddler because he felt left out. he amazon primed him like he did with the basketball

[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

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

[thirdwheelravi]

in general i completely understand and agree with the sentiment of "the end-goal future of every ship shouldn't be them married and raising children together that's so boring." but when you are saying this about buck and eddie you've kind of lost me. the canon source material is literally about them being (pseudo-)married and raising a child together
