Also, if your reaction to Buck and Eddie's fight last night is to label Eddie an "angry man" but you put no such label on Buck after he purposefully slammed Eddie to the ground and then laughed about it with Tommy afterwards in 7x04, then you really need to think about why your read on both characters is so different. And I need you to really, really think about it if your reaction to Chim in 8x16 was also to think that he was suddenly this violent and scary person (which I saw).
Eddie did not hit or hurt Buck physically last night. But Buck literally sent Eddie to the hospital in 7x04. Eddie is currently grieving his father figure and mentor. In s7, Buck was jealous of Eddie and Tommy's friendship but was otherwise emotionally stable. And yet...Buck is still just a playful puppy who gets frustrated sometimes. But Eddie is an angry, abusive man who needs to get beaten up because he dared to put his hand on Buck's lily-white shoulder in anger.
You have to allow characters of color to experience and express the same dark emotions that you accept from white characters. When you say that Chim's outburst in 8x16 makes him unqualified to be captain while ignoring that Bobby has punched perpetrators and destroyed property at scenes in anger, you're creating a double standard. When you see Eddie get angry in one scene and write him off as an abuser but treat Buck's actual violent outbursts as understandable frustration, you are perpetuating harmful racist stereotypes that hold men of color to vastly different standards than white men. And you need to stop.
sorry but i need them to resurrect bobby so the 118 can respond to call and father brian be there. bc i want him to have the "you all work together???" moment
No, because here's the thing. People don't die on this show. Sure Abby's mom died but that was always gonna happen. Shannon might be the only character that wasn't dying when introduced and actually died. They had an actor giving them trouble who played a character who had literal brain cancer and they didn't kill him off. They just don't kill characters. Maddie just had her throat slashed and survived. And I'm supposed to believe that they just let the death of someone who shares the main character spot with Angela Bassett leak like it's nothing? They were signing autographs and taking pictures. Someone was livestreaming the filming for hours. They weren't even trying to hide what was happening. And I'm supposed to believe that death is actually real???
If you are a vampire NEVER feed from someone named Richard. 400 fucking years and everyone still calls me Dick Sucker
Your lips are way too plump bro
Once Tommy let it be known he was relieved that one of the most important people in Buck's life was gone I think it was confirmed to the audience that Buck and Tommy would never be endgame
gonna be in denial and just go to bed now bc i really don't have the mental capacity for this rn and everything is shitty and i hate this
If I had a nickel every time Chimney Han got infected by a deadly virus from work where he was in a vent I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice
i'm trying not to be Mean but also i don't care i don't CAAAAARE anymore like. why is eddie returning to LA solely for buck. why is this the narrative people are going with. WHY EXACTLY is eddiebobby being downplayed as like, nothing more than a professional relationship. as if to eddie losing bobby would be like losing an acquaintance and he's more there for buck than anything else. why is this a thing. that i am seeing. like, eddiebobby has been one of THEEEE 118 relationships. they understand each other. bobby's always been there as a steady hand for eddie. eddie LOVES AND RESPECTS HIM a great deal. he has his OWN feelings about bobby that aren't related to buck’s relationship with bobby. like, why is it EDDIE being there for buck. when it should be them being there for EACH OTHER. all of the 118 btw. because they each have their own relationship with bobby. like, yes buck and bobby have a father-son relationship that is super important. and this is going to KILL buck. and yeah, i do think eddie is very conscious of that. and he WILL be there. but can we stop framing this as if his sole purpose is to be there for buck. he's allowed his own grief too. they all are. THEY'RE A FAMILY!!!!!!
oh you love me? name 97 of my trials and tribulations
I agree with your friend
right so my friend just finished the 9-1-1 episode and she insisted that no one is actually dead because 'it's easter weekend' and that 'he's coming back', i then kindly pointed out how the actor wrote a goodbye letter and she argued that Jesus hosted the last supper 😭
