every day tim minear furthers my agenda of eddie being maybe four years older than buck AND still having been a very young father at maybe like 19 or 20. how, you might ask? well, timelines don't exist, you see. and they're definitely not supposed to make sense. we're operating purely on vibes. shannon's tombstone was prepped by some random props guy who was like "hmm this checks out". buck's hospital bracelet? a flirty wink for oliver stark. actually, it's 2021 in the 911 universe. sometimes it's 2024 and then it's 2025 the next week and then back to 2022. hen's birthday lasted two days. chris is fourteen but sometimes 17 and sometimes 12 years old. eddie is a late 80s / early 90s baby. buck is a 1990s millennial but in a different way than eddie because buck grew up on hannah montana and eddie has no fucking clue who that is. bobby is 60 but then he's 55 and sometimes it's like he should be in a home by now. chim is doing acrobatics at 55 because he's also 43 like maddie who's also 38. both buck and eddie remember blockbuster and neither one of them has ever watched glee. tommy is still around 48 pushing 60. buck and eddie are in love and very much a fertile age
