#aromantic eddie diaz

[howdoichooseablogname]

biromantic asexual buck x aromantic alosexual eddie

like they start a relationship, but it's undefined. it's just them. they love each other and want to send the rest of their lives together. that's all that matters

buck had a bunch of sex with people because it feels good and he's wanting a proper romantic relationship and hoped one day he would

while eddie is sexually attracted to people and trying to make a romantic relationship work when he doesn't want nor need it

the relationship they make together is deep and out of love. they don't kiss because they both personally find it gross(too romantic for eddie and too sexual for buck, plus they've basically been forced by expectations into it and they don't want to and its always been bad), they have sex sometimes when buck (who's mostly sex-positive, or sex-neutral?) initiates it because he has used sex as a form of self harm in the past. but they cuddle, they have an emotional closeness and intimacy they crave in a comfort level they love

they talk about their boundaries, they talked about what they want in this relationship, this partnership. they don't call each other boyfriends, but partners, because boyfriends have a set rules and expectations that they don't want, nor need. if they ever get married in this (which they might for legal reasons, taxes, chris, etc) they'd still call each other partner

they probably have more and proper boundaries that they respect than anybody else they know. and their communication is the best because they talk regularly about what they want from the relationship

(i'm not saying that this form of relationship automatically puts you with good communication, but it's more likely because it's not one that society expects with expectations already attached to the relationship and label. it's easier to communicate what you want with your partner when your making your own relationship with your own rules. every relationship should have this type of conversation, but since 'boyfriend, girlfriend, etc' already have expectations it doesn't happen often. but, even with this type of relationship you can still have miscommunication, bad communication, no communication. it is not a guarantee for good communication)

no one around them seems to properly understand their relationship

maddie is worried buck will hurt himself

chimney understands enough to know it's what's for them

hen is a little worried (but more in the "it's not illegal or wrong to be boyfriends" aspect, she respects them though!)

bobby is a little confused over boyfriend vs partner thing (but still respects them!)

athena is happy for them

chris understands the best, but thats partially due to living with it

josh, love him, he gets it and helps maddie with her worries. he had an ex boyfriend who had a queerplatonic partner, so he knows of it, (even if buck and eddie don't use that term because they don't want labels. they just want to be them). maybe he doesn't fully understand what it means, but he knows it's a thing

josh tells maddie that they love each other, and that's all that should matter (to which maddie apologizes for getting upset when she should have been happy, buck accepts because that's his sister, and she trusts him)

paperwork wise would be a nightmare for bobby. he gives them a 'romantic partner' paperwork to fill out, they decline because it's not romantic. then (straight out of that one scene from superstore(am i remembering that correctly??)) they go on a call with hr because it's not romantic, but it's not friendship. they're partners in life as well as the job (maybe this is why they get married lmao)

its just them loving each other and not having to worry about labels or expectations from others. maybe i'm projecting my hopes and dreams, shush. romantic love isn't above all other loves, platonic, familial, alterous, etc, all that love is equal and should not be put above one another

this is a big fuck you to allonormativity

Be my date?

aroace Eddie | Gen | 1.4k | ao3

Eddie and Vanessa keep in touch. Eddie comes to a realisation.

The first time Buck meets Vanessa Acero, she comes by the station because Eddie and her want to plan a ‘romantic weekend’ which in this case is code for a weekend they’ll spend hiking while Buck watches Christopher. As far as Buck is concerned, Vanessa and Eddie ‘dating’ is a good thing—certainly for Eddie, who seems like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders, and also for Buck when he gets to spend more time with his favourite Diaz. Vanessa and Eddie have a lot in common, as it turns out, so they can have alibi dates and do something they both enjoy.

written for @eddiediaz-week Day 4: Fake Dating

what i want for eddie is for him to realize not wanting a life partner does not mean he needs to be alone. just let go of that catholic guilt, my guy. build a network of friends with benefits where everyone knows the score and has no reason to get hurt. you don't need a new wife to be happy.

Tell Me There’s A Reason That You’re Here (2.8k)

a part 2 to Please Stay With Me Until I Close My Eyes (could probably be read as a standalone)

“Chris went down a rabbit hole on the way here.” Buck perks up immediately, the soft energy of before immediately transformed into excitement. “Ooooh nice! What was it this time?” “He… uh…” Eddie fumbles, as if it hasn’t been the only thing on his mind since Chris told him. “One of his friends came out as… something. I can’t remember what exactly, but Chris has been researching loads of LGBT stuff that I’ve never heard of before and telling me about it.” “Makes sense,” Buck says. “I bet his friend will be happy about that.” Eddie smiles. “Yeah, that’s true.” “But…?” Buck prompts. “It sounds stupid, but a couple of the things he was telling me about… they just… I don’t know.” “Something clicked?” Buck suggests gently. Eddie just nods. - Eddie learns more about the queer community - and himself

(on ao3, just in time for aro week!)

The amatonormativity in this 911 episode was physically painful for me to watch. Dear god please leave Eddie alone. He doesn't have to date. He doesn't need a romantic partner to be happy. He isn't alone! He has his family, he has Christopher, he has the 118! He is not alone! Not having a romantic partner is not a sign of unhappiness or failure and I'm so sick of tv shows doing this. If Eddie doesn't want to date, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Sidenote I am now fully on the arospec/demi Eddie Diaz train. That right there is a man on the aro spectrum.

[aroacesafeplaceforall]

I’m going to start QPRing/non-shipping ships, and not just any ships, but the ships everyone “agrees” on.

Merlin and Arthur - QPR hardcore, kissing is okay, sex not so much, committed

Sirius and Remus - not romantically together, both aro coded HARD sex is 100% on the table, they’re committed but also just vibin no romo yes homo

Buck and Eddie - QPR. No notes

Enid and Wednesday - honestly Wednesday was always repulsed aroace coded to me, so maybe QPR but more friends who have a closer relationship

I have more I’m just tired but everyone add their own!!

[p4nishers]

hold my hand. that character yeah that one is arospec coded. you're welcome/sorry for you loss etc

[str4wb3rry-fire]

aromatic eddie diaz is something that is so personal to me actually

[aroeddiediaz]

Look it’s not exactly a 1:1 comparison. But if we get aromantic Eddie next episode…

Two best friends, one that’s bi and one that’s a-spec? Died 2014 revived 2024 All Or Nothing lets goooo

[htrah18]

full disclosure: i don’t like tommy as a character and i do think buddie could be a great romantic relationship

however.

aroace!eddie and qpr buddie will always always always have a special place in my heart

[reallyneedsalife]

i have the urge to write aro!Buck and aroace!Eddie getting their wires crossed about romance.

Taylor says I love you to Buck, Buck freak out about not feeling those magical feelings around the words. Eddie goes "its fine, there's no real difference between platonic I love yous and romantic ones". Hen looks at them like "..guys-"

I'm all for romantic Buddie, but also I adore queerplatonic/platonic Buddie with my whole aromantic heart

[murdockbuckley]

aromatic eddie diaz and queerplatonic buddie i believe in you

Last Line Tag

tagged by @aroeddiediaz 💚💚 which is, once again, incredibly appropriate because the last line I wrote was from the aroace eddie fic

“If we were a couple, I would enjoy the stuff we would do. I don’t have to be in love with you for that.”

This is the only fic I have been enjoying writing at the moment, so be prepared for lots of this in tag games 😝

[plutoloulou]

(Posting these again cause I saw a mistake in one of them and it was driving me crazy)

Honestly, acespec/arospec Eddie Diaz just makes perfect sense in my head!

Kinda need him to embrace being a single dad at the moment and realise he doesn't need to force himself to date anyone and just be his silly self <3

aromantic flag color picked from aro fear eddie diaz

[ID: 1. The aromantic flag color picked from a photo of Eddie Diaz from 9-1-1. 2. The same flag but with a cutout of Eddie shown from the shoulders up. He’s wearing a green button up shirt over a black henley. He is reacting to Tia Pepa surprising him with a date. His eyes are wide and his teeth are clenched in a grimace. END ID]
