"He doesn't need to provide, take care of, or play a heteronormative role for Buck, and that's how Buck snuck in there." This take is sooo big brain and sexy of you, an interesting part of their dynamic is that Eddie CAN'T seriously think "oh if buck was a woman that would be great" because you are so right, they would have never ended up where they are if that was the case. Instead he has to think "if I was gay, we could be in a relationship" Which Adds A Tasty Tasty Element To That Catholic Guilt And Repression Baybee.

And we LOOOOOOVE the Catholic Guilt and Repression in this household!!!

#lincoln answers things #911 meta #one of the MAJOR issues in Eddie and Shannon's relationship #was that he was pressured by society and his parents to believe that he had to provide for her #and fulfill particular Husband and Father Roles #when Shannon says what I wanted was a PARTNER #I wanted you to be THERE with ME #I didn't need you to be the big strong man and provide or protect!#I just wanted the kid I fell in love with! I wanted to hold your hand through this together!#and with Ana and Marisol we see Eddie falling into the same pattern (but worse since he was in love with Shannon)#(and was decidedly never in love with Ana or Marisol)#(and was basically forcing himself to date them)#(because he felt his son needed a mother and he was lonely)#and he is going to most likely keep doing that with any woman #but with Buck... because he wasn't putting them in those traditional roles...#they became true partners #hand in hand through this together #and without even trying!!! I mean yes they tried in that all relationships require effort but!#anyway sorry I cannot stop rambling but #I am so glad that you liked my thoughts and feel they're accurate!
