When you’re GAY and in love with your BISEXUAL COWORKER with whom you co-parent your SON because you willed custody to him in the event of your DEATH and your son sees him as a second PARENT and you’re CHEATING on your girlfriend with the doppelgänger of your DEAD WIFE who asked for a divorced right before she was hit by a CAR and you’re GAY

Fire Marshal Buck: Now I know you SAY that the 118 has kept everything up to code at the station, but I recently spoke to a very reliable source-

Christopher: *waves* hi

Fire Marshal Buck: - and he has informed me that the floor is, in fact, lava. Which, I don’t need to tell you, is a pretty serious safety violation.

i know i'm an old lady and this is me just not understanding the kids these days but literally why does it matter what's canon??? once i fall in love with a character canon and fanon have exactly the same weight in my continued enjoyment of the media they're in. in fact my ideal canon is phenomenal characters who are given storylines that honestly leave a little something lacking, leave a little something on the table that i've got no choice but to explore myself. there is literally no overlap between my favorite 'no notes' media and the media i actually have been an active fic writer for

I think you could write a good queer storyline for Eddie, actually. He's been formally diagnosed as a repressed Catholic. His most fulfilling relationships are his son, his queer best friend, and his Carla. Every romantic arc he's had since Shannon has been a passionless calculation. He left Shannon and Chris for long periods for years because he felt trapped, scared, and misunderstood. He had a panic attack at the thought of being seen as serious about Ana but wrote Buck into his will. It feels like he's only ever performing sex and romance to appease a heteronormative ideal about family and parenthood, so I definitely get it.
