Considering how 911 has forgiven every terrible parent of the main characters, not forgiving Eddie who has devoted his entire life to Christopher since he was born would be absolutely ridiculous. Like Buck's whole speech to Chris on why to forgive Eddie is him forgiving his own parents who drove him to self-harm to gain attention? Which is way worse than what Eddie did. We've been told time and time again how much Eddie's parents messed him up in canon, and now suddenly they are the more 'stable' choice to parent a kid?

Another point if we continue with Eddie losing Chris is it would reinforce the very harmful lie that Eddie thinks: he cannot have joy, forgiveness, and identity outside of his son.

The blowout with Kim only happens once Eddie tries to find closure with Shannon in a very messed up form on non-consensual therapy. Eddie recognized what he was doing wrong and tried putting a stop to it. He was not going to go to Kim again after telling her about Shannon. But once he finds some sort of closure, he is punished harshly by his son walking in and then walking out of his life, making his worst nightmare come true.

He finds forgiveness with the help of the priest and joy in a very very long time? The newest clip seems to punish him immediately with now Chris might not even come back.

CHRIS'S POV

Even from Chris's POV, it doesn't make sense that somehow both the Diaz grandparents suddenly gained emotional intelligence and maturity to raise Chris in a healthy environment to get over his trauma when they couldn't do that for more than 30 years?! Chris is avoiding, I doubt he is getting therapy there to deal with it. It was traumatic and he is valid for being mad but staying mad is hurting him. Eddie's whole arc and issue stem from the toxic masculinity that he needed to unlearn which makes him the king of repression. You know who caused a silly goofy man (Eddie at his core is very silly and is forced to be serious) to repress? His parents who are now somehow better options to deal with Chris's complicated emotions?

They think Chris loves the water, but they don't know the enormous work Eddie did to help Chris get over the tsunami. Chris breaks down during COVID because he misses Carla and his friends which dredges up his abandonment issues? They don't know that it was Buck who supported him through it and how Eddie adjusted his relationship with Ana to make him more comfortable. They don't know that Eddie quit the job he loved so Chris wouldn't be scared of losing him. They don't know how scared Chris was when Eddie got shot. We often focus on how Buck broke down and how Chris hugs him but Chris is breaking down with him together.

THE WILL (DISREGARDING ROMANCE)

Eddie's not stupid. He didn't put Buck instead of his parents in his will out of spite. Because really when it comes down to it, Buck was the best option for the will in canon. In the very beginning, we were told Tia Pepa and Abuela can't take care of Chris full time (thus, Carla). But Carla is paid for her job, she won't be on the will. Eddie has no other family in LA and we don't know how his situation is with his sisters. However, considering canon implies then to be younger (thus his parentification), Eddie would consider them too young (subjective) to raise his son. None of the 118 is as involved with Chris as Buck is. In fact, a big reason is the fact that is that Buck allows the Diaz boys a safe space which Eddie was not allowed to have growing up.

Buck has respected Chris's autonomy (admires it even- canon from s2), supports and listens to him without making him feel bad, expresses his emotions and finds ways to support him (like finding equine therapy, accessible skateboard) and respects his decision even if he doesn't like it (going to Texas). And I'm not saying because of Buddie or anything. Even if they remain platonic co-parents (co-parenting as described by Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman), they serve as parallels to things Eddie wouldn't have gotten from his parents if he was in Chris's position.

Eddie was forced to manage his mother's emotions while his father was absent. Chris has a dead/absent mother but never has he had to manage Eddie's emotions. When Eddie has a mental breakdown, he calls Buck and is told to focus on his own healing (equine therapy). Time and time again, Eddie has said that his problems are not on Chris to help.

When Chris wakes up crying from a nightmare about the tsunami, Eddie gets him help and never criticizes him. What do you think happened when Eddie would wake up from his own nightmares after being discharged from the army? He was living with his parents, Shanon and baby Chris, there's no way his parents didn't know about it. We have proof in canon that Eddie never received any help and Shannon was at the end of her rope until she abandoned him. All his parents did was fight him for custody and applaud him for almost dying (aka silver star).

POSSIBLE FIX

One way to maybe fix this is by working with the theme of Eddie reclaiming his agency. If he goes to Texas to fight for his son, to have that communication, group therapy even, letting Chris know he is working on making himself better and that Chris needs to confront his issues and how running away and not feeling with grief is how the Kim situation happened in the first place.

Or, I understand that Gavin McHugh might want to take a break and return to the show except a few scenes. We can give him the Denny or May Grant treatment, where they are there but we don't see them anymore, just referenced. Like have a video call saying he wants to come back, show Eddie ecstatic and ready to hug someone at the airport, fade to black, and next time we can have Eddie on cloud nine but also scared of losing Chris again.

TLDR; It's unfair to punish Eddie when every main character's terrible parent has been forgiven and reinforces the idea that he isn't allowed to have joy, forgiveness and identity outside of Chris. Keeping Chris with his parents implies they are a better choice when they're the reason Eddie has these issues. There are better ways to handle the situation while minimizing Gavin's screen time.

Something something Tommy saying it's never great to date people you've saved but something something Buck's coma dream confirming that without Buck, Eddie would have lost control and spiraled and lost Chris. Something something he dove under a truck ladder after being crushed by one under a hail of bullets just to drag Eddie to safety. Something something he tried to dig through 40 ft of mud with his bare hands to get to a trapped Eddie. Something something he introduced Carla to Eddie and helped him be the best father Eddie can be to Chris. Something something he assured Eddie his son will be safe at school and then drove him over to see him after the earthquake. Something something he dropped everything in the middle of the night to come help Eddie when he had a breakdown and helped Chris calm down and tuck him in and stayed for Eddie to help him through it. Something something he brought Eddie to equine therapy so that Eddie can see with his own eyes what impact he has as a firefighter and to realize his worth. Something something he helped Eddie realize that he's living a lie with Ana and that he's simply stringing her along w/o loving her. Something something Chris and Eddie being upset they can't spend Christmas together and Buck arranges a surprise Christmas party at the firehouse for Eddie's little family. Something something Buck getting pissed when the prisoners threatened Chris. Something something Buck running straight into what could have been a hostile situation because he heard a gunshot and all he thought of was Eddie. Something something he didn't think twice before jumping into the water and spent hours looking for Eddie's son, Eddie's heart and reason, Eddie's everything, despite being injured and on blood thinners and barely being able to stand up.

So yeah, maybe it's not a great idea to be with someone who you saved once but what about someone you keep saving?? Someone who you would never even think twice about abandoning?? Someone who also saves you constantly by being in your life??

"Nothing to be done anymore." Clegan, of course, either the equine therapy or the actress au 👀

PLS PLS PLS enjoy pooki <33

mota masterlist!

Gale’s head hung low, shame written across his face. John grumbled under his breath as he paced the kitchen, cleaning up the remnants of dinner. The air between them was thick with tension, everything feeling like one big, catastrophic mess. At least Gale’s folks had retired to their rooms, John thought bitterly. He still couldn’t understand why Gale let them stay—why he tolerated the way they picked at him, finding any excuse to be awful.

Tonight had been worse than usual. Gale had been shaky all evening, barely holding it together, when he knocked over a water glass. What should’ve been an innocent mistake spiraled into something darker, something far more unsettling. Gale had gone into a full-fledged panic, his body locking up as he tried to stammer out an apology while John watched, helpless. It wasn’t just a broken glass—it was flashes of his ex bouncing around behind his eyes, his voice still echoing in his ears.

"I'm sorry," Gale croaked, his voice hoarse from the strain.

"Not your fault, Buck," John muttered, though his tone was sharper than he meant. He didn’t stop cleaning, didn’t stop pacing, the sound of plates clinking together somehow too loud in the quiet room.

"But—"

"Nothing to be done anymore," John cut him off, shaking his head. He wasn’t in the mood for apologies, wasn’t in the mood for anything. It wasn’t fair, he knew that. Gale wasn’t at fault, but that didn’t make the frustration bubbling inside him any less real. He was exhausted—exhausted from always being on edge, from trying to pick up the pieces that seemed to shatter around them every time they thought they’d found some peace.

"You should go lay down," John said, his back still turned as he wiped down the counters. His voice had softened, but it carried a weight, an unspoken tiredness.

Gale sat there for a moment, frozen, feeling the sting of John’s words even though they hadn’t been cruel. He knew John wasn’t angry at him, not really. But that didn’t stop the guilt from gnawing at him, didn’t stop the feeling that he was just a burden—someone who kept breaking under the weight of his own past.

"Yeah," Gale mumbled, barely audible. He turned and left the kitchen, the weight of the night pressing down on his shoulders as he made his way to their room. His head was spinning, but there was nothing to do now.

On Friday while driving home from the barn the engine in my 2017 Ford Explorer, well, exploded. Technically the water pump exploded which caused coolant to mix with the oil causing my engine to seize. It’s going to cost $10,000 to fix.

Lives Beyond the Void

This is a Christmas gift to @quietly-by-myself. We may have something in the works coming up with both our characters, but I have a few more reveals on my end before we start posting. (Sorry my stories are so long winded. LOL)

Content Warnings for recovering characters and mentions of human trafficking

Thanks to @oddsconvert for her quick on the spot beta and pep talk.

Sacha smiled excitedly as he stared around the clean open space of Cyril’s new home.  It wasn’t a cabin, but it was still homey.  He liked that Cyril had a place so close to his own.  It had been about six months since they came back here to Sacha’s hometown.  It was Spring, and Cyril’s little garden outside the window was in full bloom.  It made both of them happy.  Sacha was happy that Cyril hadn’t had to leave his hobby behind, and Cyril was happy to have things blooming again.  

“Sacha, it’s so nice for you to stop by.  What is this all about?”

Cyril’s comment was almost funny.  Sacha ‘stopped by’ on most days.  If it wasn’t here at Cyril’s little house, then it was at the clinic where he practiced.  They both grinned at each other.  

“Well… it’s April… and I heard it was someone’s birthday,” Sacha’s voice was quiet, as usual, but his eyes were playful. 

Cyril groaned.  “Sacha, I don't want anyone knowing or making a big deal out of this.  Please?  I just want to keep it quiet.  I don’t like a fuss.”  He stopped and looked at Sacha, really registering the look in his eyes.  Sacha was up to something.  He was never this excited.  “You told your mom didn’t you?”

Sacha beamed.  “Dinner’s at six.  She has a cake.  I’m supposed to invite you.  But also, I got you this.”  Sacha handed Cyril a small wrapped box.

“Sacha… you didn’t have to get me anything.  You know that.” Cyril says.  

“You saved me.  You brought me home.  A birthday present is… is small.” Sacha could give Cyril the world and it would still never be enough to measure up to what he gave him. The air he breathes and the words he speaks are all thanks to Cyril. Cyril saved his life and soul.

“We’ve been over this.  You saved me too.”  Cyril pulled Sacha into a hug, touching their foreheads together.  “My brother.”

“Brother,” Sacha repeated in complete contentment and agreement.  Sacha pulled back and looked at him.  “Now go on, open it.”

“Is this why you wanted me to go sailing with you today?”

Sacha nodded with a happy grin on his face.  “Can’t have you working on your birthday.”

Cyril laughed at the almost mischievous grin on Sacha’s face.  

The two of them spent the whole day out on the water in the April sunshine, the wind blowing their hair, the water spraying with every rise and fall of the boat.  

Cyril felt years younger as he watched Sacha.  He still stumbled over his words from time to time and he still didn’t like to say a lot of things unless they were worth saying, but here, on the water.  Here Sacha was free.  It was almost as if the past few years hadn’t touched him.  Almost.  He explained the rules for sailing, talked about the different parts of the boat and how to work each and every one of them.  He was born to be on the water.  That much was evident.  

It was the best birthday Cyril had ever had.  The gifts didn’t matter, but seeing Sacha so carefree and happy was more valuable than anything anyone could ever purchase him.  

When they docked the boat on the little pier near Sacha’s house, his words grew less once again.  On land Sacha had to face everything that he’d been through.  He had to face his family and their constant worry for him.  Cyril wished there was a way to help him ease back into his life a bit better.  

Cyril took him to equine therapy.  He was in counseling.  They were working well, but Sacha was still having difficulty.  Human trafficking was often in the forefront of the news.  It was something both of them were keenly aware of.  There were others out there just like Sacha.  And many were not so lucky.  

Cyril helped Sacha secure the boat to the dock and then they headed for Sacha’s home.  It wasn’t far.  

Sacha’s parents did most of the talking at dinner.  It was a lovely meal, soup.  Sacha insisted that he helped and Cyril smiled when his mother agreed that he’d been a big help.  It was a fantastic end to the best birthday ever.  

*!*!*!*!*

Cyril was in his office, on a rare break, reflecting on his move to this small town from his isolated cabin in the woods.  It had been scary at first, getting back into medicine.  But people here needed his help.  They needed him.  He’d kept his word and accepted medicaid.  He really felt like his return to medicine was making a huge difference.  That was a big surprise to him.  A pleasant one.  He still got nervous.  He had not had to treat any overdoses yet, but he knew that the longer he stayed and practiced, that it would come up eventually.  

But if Sacha could come home and face all his fears, get into therapy, then Cyril could do it too.  

There was a soft knock at his door.  His nurse opened the door.  “There's a guy out here that wants to put up some fliers for some trafficking support group?  Apparently they have a guest speaker coming.”

“That’s fine.  I know that’s a big problem around these parts.  He can put up the fliers.”

She smiled at him and nodded her acknowledgement before quietly shutting the door again.  

Cyril worked the rest of the afternoon.  Sacha had come and had lunch with him.  It was a simple quiet life here.  He was… happy?  He was happy.  He was actually enjoying life again.  And he had a family that loved him.  He had a brother.  

Cyril would do anything to help Sacha feel the same way, like the world was a safe place for him.  He just didn’t know what else to do.  Cyril sighed as he shut off the lights in his office and headed for the door.  

As he moved through the small waiting room, a neon green flier caught his eye.  It was neatly taped to the window of the check-in counter.  

Trafficking Survivors Support Group.  Meets on the first Monday of the month in the general community center.  Our next meeting will feature international trafficking survivor Ben Adkins who has graciously agreed to come to our meeting to share his story of survival and resilience in the face of horrible circumstances beyond his control.  Guests are welcome and there is no charge for this event.  

Cyril pulled his phone out and snapped a picture of the flier.  Maybe that was the missing piece.  Maybe what Sacha needed was to hear about someone else’s survival.  Perhaps that would help.  If he didn’t see himself as being alone.  If he was able to talk to someone else like him.  

Cyril slipped his phone back into his pocket, the tiny handmade goldfish keychain that Sacha made him for his birthday grazing his fingers.  It was just like the bigger one he’d gotten at Christmas, but smaller.  One he could always have to remind him of the family he now belonged to.  

Cyril smiled to himself as he walked out the door.  He walked to his car thinking about how to couch the idea.  When he was in his car, he pulled his phone back out and glanced at the picture of the flier.  He read through it carefully and then dialed Sacha.  

“Hey, listen, would you mind coming to dinner at my house tomorrow night?  I have something I want to talk to you about…”

Saturday Snippets

This was originally started for this year's George Eads Appreciation Week, for the rubber ducky prompt.

It's still a WIP, but I actually managed to get some writing done on it today. Its still a little rough and I think Jack may have highjacked it, lol. I think it went off on a bit of a tanget.

“Please tell me they’re not real,” Riley asks, turning her attention back to Jack, one eyebrow raised as she pins him with a look.

“Now would I go and do a thing like that?”

He’s the picture of innocence as he looks back at her from the across the kitchen, and Riley huffs out a laugh and as she shakes her head in fond exasperation.

“You bought my daughter a horse, Jack. A hooves, and horseshoe’s, neighing real live horse, because she thought he was all soft and cute and she asked you to," Riley reminds her surrogate father. “So I think I’m validated in being a bit skeptical.”

“Now technically, sweetheart, Twinkle is a pony,” he says, like the height difference between the two animals takes away the point of her previous statement.  

“’Sides…” he continues as he makes a show of taking the pancakes off the griddle, each flapjack flipping high in the air before coming to rest on the plate that he’s holding in his other hand.

He gives her a wink as he shuts off the stove and moves the griddle aside. He picks up a small silver shaker and with a flourish and spin of his hand dusts the tops of each pancake with powered sugar to finish up his act.

Riley known Jack a long time, and knows one of his distraction techniques when she sees one, but still can’t help but be pulled in, impressed and entertained by the showmanship.

“It’s not like I brought him home or anything,” Jack defends.

“That’s only because, your no animals allowed in the GTO policy aside, he wouldn’t fit in the back seat,” she says.

“Mmm… Yeah. I didn’t really think that one all the way through,” Jack admits. “Good thing Thorpe runs that equine therapy ranch up in the hills and let’s us board him there. But… Jack Wyatt Dalton ain’t no push over, you know. I’ve gone toe to toe with the baddiest of the bad and not broken, no way a little girl will get through my steely defenses.”

“Is that, right?” Riley asks, amused. While there is no arguing with the first part of his sentence, from the very first moment that Jack finally met his granddaughter, she has had him wrapped around her tiny finger.

“That’s right,” Jack tells her. “Like… For instance… I didn’t buy her those penguins she begged me for.”

“Uh huh... Not for lack of trying.”

“Yeah… I think retirement has seriously messed with my mojo, that aquarium dude just wouldn’t give in.”

“It’s illegal for private parties to own penguins, Jack,” Riley tells him, not for the first time.

“I’m bettin’ Matty can pull it off. Bein’ away as long as I was, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her go full Hun on anyone. Ohh… Oh, I know,” Jack exclaims, eyes wide with excitement. “Taylor… He can pull it off. He would do it a second.”

“…Russ? I don’t even know why I’m asking this. Or even encouraging you with this path of conversation,” Riley says, “But… why Russ?”

“’Cuz money… He has more than he’ll ever use,” he drawls. “Big ole donation to the aquarium. Heck, we could have an entire wing named in our honor. Little princess can go play with those tuxedoed birds anytime she wants. And… oh, I’ll get Steve to come teach her to swim, and scuba. That way she can swim along side 'em. He may be a whiny water baby, but the guy’s like a fish himself in the water. And—”

“Woah… let’s rein it in, cowboy. No. Absolutely, no. None of that is going to happen," she informs him. "You know, I think I liked it better when you and Russ couldn’t stand each other.”

These 3 are by far my favourite so far. I love the movement, power, emotion and character that I feel from these, especially the 2 above. My aim with these piece were to create a feel of power and security. After researching equine therapy I wanted to reflect the emotional and physical intelligence of these animals. I feel I conveyed this the best in the one directly above because of the emotion I have caught within the movement. This horse (Banjo) is filled with emotion, fear, urgency, love and hate. All this enforces the idea that if the horse feels, then he can feel you and your emotion which is exactly what I want the viewer to feel. How the horse is looking at them and understanding them.

In the first, the green background works really well and makes the natural, connected feeling that I was looking for because of tranquillity and connection between the colours and forms in the foreground and background.

The second one has all the character and ferocity that I want. It gives power, fear, and captures the ponies movement more than anything. This was so important to me because I was the viewer to feel how the horse moves with its surroundings and how connected it is with others when it moves and breaths.

The last is good too, I was thinking about water when I was painting, which is where the bright blues came from. I like this piece because I feel the horse, even thought stationary, is moving within, just like water. I tried to replicate this in the mane and forelock, and I think it worked well because of the texture I created. This piece definitely reminds me of the water and give the feeling of connection between the horse and the water.
