ok promise i’ll shut up soon but now i’m thinking about how in Act 1 the only game we see marvin and whizzer play is chess, where marvin clearly excels and whizzer doesn’t seem to entirely know how to play. and you can tell whizzer’s insecure abt it because he knows marvin wants a smart guy and he doesn’t feel he lives up to his expectations, and they fight and break up because marvin can’t help but be petty because he wants a smart boyfriend but not one smarter than him and someone he can still win over and it just shows how petty and immature they both are in that act that they can’t get over their childish need to prove something to each other and it has to turn into a whole thing
but then in Act 2, the only game we see them play is racquetball, a game where whizzer clearly excels because he’s the more athletic one of the pair, but even though they banter a little over winning and losing, it’s lighthearted this time. marvin, who once said winning was everything to him, is able to admit defeat and still have a good time, and it’s one of the happier songs in the musical. and then even when they play the second time and marvin is winning because whizzer is obviously sick, marvin doesn’t gloat the way he once would’ve, it’s again just light hearted banter that only turns serious when something is wrong.
i just think it’s really nice to see their maturity and growth from act 1 to act 2, especially with marvin going from making them play chess because he knows he can win to letting them play a game that he knows whizzer is better at and still enjoying himself :)

Where are we going, 911?
I just watched 8x16 and honestly, more than feeling angry about the writers' decisions, I feel disorientated and confused. I don't know what to expect for next season if they just killed one of the OGs. The amount of important things that developed off screen (Ex. how Eddie find it out, the airport scene, Buck's grief towards his father figure) the emotionless Buck, the Cameron baby plotline to smash any theory about Bobby being alive, the fact that he died after fighting suicidial tendencies for his whole life (Bobby didn. I was expecting something more emotional, I wanted to see how his death impacted the rest of the 118. I saw tears from them but it barely moved me (Chimney had the only acceptable crashout from all of them and I know that this is not the actors/actresses' fault, but I needed to mention it), and so many other details about the people the audience do care about (Why do writers think we care about damn Gerard? We don't).
I'm really trying to find any sense to this... Everything feels so out of place, and I think that's worse than actually hating the show: Feeling like you don't know it anymore.
For my well being, I'm gonna stop expecting for Bobby to be alive somewhere. Most part of the fandom is really upset and disappointed about this plot, and it's making the show losing loyal viewers that already had to deal with the lack of consistency of some characters' narrative and interactions and the lack of realism (something that as fans just intentionally ignore most of the time because the show was still good for other reasons). Besides, let's not forget about the fact that most people still watch 911 because of Buddie.
Now, I hardly see Buddie go canon at this point. For me, it would feel like putting a band aid on a bullet hole to try to stop the bleeding. Will I be happy when it happen? I'm sad to think that maybe not at all, because Buddie canon was something I was looking forward with so much joy, but I don't think I'll be able to enjoy it as I thought I would because my 118 team is never going to be the same anymore. Buddie was suppose to mean something for them as well, especially for Bobby ffs, how are we suppose to ignore that? Bobby was such an important figure for both Buck and Eddie, of course what he would think or react about it matter for the plot, at least for me.
I'm gonna continue watching the show, but I'm not gonna expect anything from it anymore. Bobby's death took away most of my excitement about 911 because it shows that anything can happen for the worst.
Can it be next week now. Also sir this episode was fucking amazing. Trent pissed me off per fucking usual. Lacey's father have similarities to sir was a nice touch. Also sir being like drop the charges for his own kidnapping makes sense its just funny.
I am once agian asking for found fics because I need something to hold me over to January so fic writers please give me sustenance
"I've done everything" The everything in question being taking Lacey agian, telling Margaret he can find Jamie but not doing it, scaring zeke to slightly leave his house then telling him he was gonna fix him then never spoke to him agian, and hasn't done really anything with dahn but he's perfect so fair.
"You know if I could turn the clock back a year to the time right before my dad died, I'd do it all differently."
btw if this is actually dobby for real and forever then I'm beyond pissed that we didn't get an open casket everyone can go say their goodbyes scene. I know I know contagious yadayada who fucking cares. either handwave it or murk him on a different emergency. ffs
Kevin: Go home, Brother.
Chimney: *goes to the Lees*
