Pick Your Poison

Which will you choose?

If you'd like to see each image individually~

This was meant to be a gif, but that wasn't really going to work out unless I wanted the quality to be diarrhea… so I settled for a video that loops for 1 minute.

This took TOO long to make...... (That's my fault for lazing around so much)

This actually just started off with me wanting to draw Marcus shirtless so I can draw his tattoos, but then I kept adding stuff and this was the result LOL

While I was looking for more images of these dudes, I found out Marcus probably has another tattoo, but on his back…………. Now I need to draw him again, but from the back this time…..

Drawing this made me realize Chris is REALLY cute with his half slicked back hairstyle. I appreciate him so much more after having to stare at like 6 different images of him for ages while deciding how to interpret his hairstyle XD (I swear it’s literally different in every image)

I feel like I don’t properly capture Jack’s cuteness and it makes me sad………

Also, am I the only one who thinks Jack is wearing leather pants? I SWEAR HE IS….. LOOK AT THIS

This is unmistakably shiny compared to the other guys’ pants

SO IT HAS TO BE LEATHER RIGHT… I’m pretty sure Jack likes leather too….. Well, at least I’m guessing that because of a line from Mark of Belial (Granted that was from when he was 25, but whatever)

Eddie diaz isn’t going to actually move to Texas - oh he’ll probably get close - but he won’t actually go - because it’s running away again - which is what Eddie does when he’s faced with something life changing.

He ran to Shannon to escape his parents (especially his mom)

Then he ran to the army when Shannon got pregnant

Then he ran to the army once again when Chris was diagnosed

Then he ran to LA to escape his parents once more

Then he ran back to Shannon

Then he ran from his grief

He ran from his trauma

Ran from the 118

Ran from his feelings

And now he’s running again - he thinks he’s running towards Chris but he’s actually running away from himself - from joy and freedom - because he thinks it’s the only way to get Chris back - to go back to living under the toxic cloud that is his parents - to go back to being made to feel like a failure (because Helena is going to say I told you so at the first opportunity!)

Eddie is watching Chris and seeing him get the childhood with his parents he never had - one where he was loved and supported and allowed to be a child. Only that’s Eddie’s perspective and Eddie (like Buck) is a flawed narrator of his own life - Chris isn’t actually happy he’s basically getting the same treatment Eddie got from Helen and Ramon - he’s being stiffled - suffocated and he is not being given the right support - the support to work through his trauma and not let it fester.

But Eddie only sees Chris being taught chess by the man who was absent from Eddie’s own childhood, Chris being able to be involved in clubs and tournaments and getting to make friends and be a child.

Eddie doesn’t see that he was already providing all of that for Chris am more - providing him with the love and support and tools to deal with what life throws at him.

Eddie wants in on what he was already doing and doing much better so he’s going to probably go to Texas for a bit and open the dialoge and then reload moving back to Texas just keeps the cycle going (Eddie’s own version of the hamster wheel) and it would reinforce to Chris that running is the answer. That being unhappy is the answer

Ultimately Eddie needs to realise that he can fight to get Chris back without sacrificing all he has been working towards - without sacrificing all the progress he has made. That actually making the first move doesn’t mean abandoning the life he has been building for himself and his son.

Because Chris isn’t actually happy - he’s miserable and he wants his dad - he just isn’t able to admit that yet but they’re going to get to a point where he is - because Eddie has been doing the right things and they will have a conversation in Texas that will bring them both home to LA ;and Buck) and the family they have built.

[spacekimera]

Imagine Eddie in a new firehouse in el Paso, he spends all the time texting and face timing on the job, when they ask him he is like: “oh is just my best friend, buck!” And all his teammates are like “Sure, Jan”. Like no one on the station is homophobic so they just don’t understand why he does not say he has a boyfriend, but decide not to press.

And most of the times they want to hang out after work, Eddie is like: “sorry, can’t today, virtual movie night with Chris and Buck”, or “No can do Buck and his nice will bake cookies so Chris and I will join them”. And when they do hang out Buck is mentioned at least once an hour, his team is like ???.

And when they finally meet him once he is visiting, and Buck is also like “My best friend!” but they see them being super touchy, and smiley and disgustingly cute. The whole station is like WTF? Are they just idiots? (they are).

Anyways, one person on the station knows Hen, they ask her, and Hen is like: “ugh I have survived 6 years of that, do you guys want to join the bet we have?” and of course they do.

[buddiesmutslut]

The “unforeseen hurdle” is Eddie going down to Texas to get Christopher but recognizing that his parents haven’t done anything in 3+ months to help work through his anger & have actually intentionally fanned that flame, so he picks Chris up but gives him a choice to come home or stay with Buck and go to therapy and work as a team to confront their issues, & Chris obviously stays with Buck & Tommy struggles with that.

Will this happen in the show?? I have no idea, I highly doubt it, BUT I would read the SHIT out of it as a fic.

[makorragal-312]

The Diaz parents are gonna be in for a rude awakening when they realize that Chris is in Texas with them for the sole purpose of getting space from his dad, not to fulfill their long-awaited familial fantasy.

There are times where I wonder if Luke asked Dionysus to cure his mother, you know, what with Dionysus being the god of madness.

I like to believe that Luke had offered to steal the best bottle of wine there is to be stolen in the world, a solemn promise from the son of Hermes.

"No one would know," he whispered earnestly.

Not even the gods.

And maybe Dionysus had laughed at the idea, no matter how intriguing it was, because of course a demigod of mere fifteen would be so bold yet naive to strike deals with gods so much bigger than he. He shut the child down on the spot. He wouldn't fall for such nonsense.

"And risk my father's wrath? You mock me," he drawled. He had made it a point to omit the fact he was not going to tamper with his uncle's curse either. It was off-limits after all, just like that troublesome nymph. He flicked the dirt from his nails, ignoring the way Luke shook on the spot.

"Well? If that's all you better get going, Lucius," he had said.

And Luke's wrath bubbled over in return.

"What good are you gods for, if you won't help us? You're so useless," he scoffed.

Dionysus's eyes lit up in purple at the jab and he got up from his chair. The ground shook as vines broke through the earth. Something felt off yet familiar with the way Luke did not cower at the display of power. Tch, heroes and their bravado.

"We gods do not owe you mortals anything."

"Yes, you do?" Luke retorted with incredulity, dragging a chair to the side as he inched on Dionysus, uncaring of the purple flames that had begun to circle them, the vines that were dangerously close to tugging him by the ankle.

"You owe your entire existence to humanity! We wrote your stories and remembered you! We fought your battles and we died for you!"

"And?" Dionysus laughed, though there was no humor behind it, "I don't care. You can come up with a thousand sob stories, Luis, and I still won't care. I've seen it all and it's all the same. You demigods are nothing but mayflies, destined to die early since the day you were born."

That seemed to silence the boy.

"Of course, I'll make sure to tell all of that to Castor and Pollux. I'll tell them Pops doesn't give a damn if they die now or later, because apparently it doesn't matter anyways. Tell them how he knew what demigod life would be like for them and still went ahead and brought them into this world anyways."

Or not.

"Take their names out of your mouth, boy," Dionysus warned, vines seizing at Luke's wrists and knees.

"Or what? You're gonna drive me insane just like Mom?"

Dionysus wanted to tell him that he was pretty much halfway there, with the way Luke wore that look of hysteria that bordered on madness. It was so faint yet tangible all the same. Dionysus wanted to push the kid to the limit, see him snap.

"Oh, but that would be too easy!" he sneers, "no, I was thinking more of that little sister of yours you so adore, Annie Bell, her name was? Yes, yes I think madness would look absolutely delicious on a daughter of Athena."

There was absolutely nothing to back up that threat, but it seemed to hit the mark.

Luke had crumpled completely, like something hit him hard in the stomach. Dionysus's lips twitched up in victory. If the boy wanted to play dirty and mention family, then it was only fair he would too.

"Fuck you," Luke whispered, tears cornering in his eyes.

Before the god could act on his threat, however, the sound of trotting hooves nearing towards the Big House made their way through the windows.

Dionysus sighed, raising a hand to release the vines' hold on Luke. He did not want to listen to Chiron's lecture on how threatening the lives of demigods isn't "Camp Director" like.

Luke, on the other hand, slammed the door behind him, scaring off the harpies perched on the roof of the Big House. Dionysus had half a mind to choke the kid with grapevines for the act of insolence.

Chiron came through that same door, placing a hand on the side of it while he looked backwards.

"With that anger, he will get himself killed too early," he murmured with concern. Dionysus snorted, letting the vines return to the soil, the flames around him dying down.

"They all do."

Oh, how he would eat those words, watching Castor's shroud burn.

He was too young. Too young.

A nagging voice reminds him that so was Luke. So was Thalia. So was Annabeth. So was Percy. So was Nico. So was nearly everyone that huddled around the pyres, holding each other and sobbing. Gods, they were crying. War was never kind.

Even that daughter of Ares, who would rather be caught dead than vulnerable, let slip a few tears, and her hissed out "are you happy now?" as she shoved herself past the god of wine will haunt him for millenias to come.

If only he had tried to save May Castellan, given her back to Hermes the way he was supposed to, maybe his son would be standing here with him and watching the pyres light up the night.

Instead, all he could do was listen to Pollux's hysterical screams while Hermes pulls Castor up by the hand, taking the newly deceased to a place where Dionysus can no longer follow.

[birthmarkbuckley]

ok but the only way this storyline could realistically end is by eddie and chris choosing TOGETHER (and it must be together I really do think so) the joy of going back to their home in LA. and to the family that they have made for themselves there.

[applecidersstuff]

Forever convinced that Chris Rodriguez is a lesbian and his type is specifically butches, so when Luke tried to set him up with someone while he was still with the titan army he failed miserably because Chris would always say that they’re not his type.

I just want you to imagine the look on his face when he heard that Chris got accepted back to camp and started dating Clarrise, go through all five stages of grief and then turn around to his mirror and say ‘yeah, that checks out’

Here's how buddie roommate era can still win.

[suhlinah]

this probably means absolutely nothing but whenever buck has worn his civvie clothes, it's ALWAYS the white high tops (apart from his Crockett outfit) but we see when he sits down on Eddie's couch w the tablet that he's got some new balance sneakers on (still white though). I mean this probably means nothing and I'm likely grasping at straws here, but we see in the next shot which is focused solely on him that he's coming to terms with 1, Eddie thinking about leaving and likely 2, that he has feelings realizations and the shoes can be a very subtle way of showing that he's found his last.

also another thing is that he's wearing a dark blue shirt and Eddie's wearing a burgundy shit which is a nod/parallel to the poker scene where buck wears red and eddie wears blue (though the colours are brighter in that scene). again, grasping at straws here but for something like this, there's always a reason why the costume department picks the clothes they do

[incorrect-riordanverse]

um sorry but true love is when the most hotblooded scariest hostile warrior in camp falls in love with some hispanic boy who’s been completely discarded by whoever his godly parent may have been, thereby fuelling a resentment leading to him betraying the camp of which the warrior is extremely loyal too, yet instead of going after him when finding him at his weakest (abandoned and literally insane from the pain he’s in) she fights FOR him and does everything in her power to rehabilitate him because, through and through, she loves him still
