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??

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.

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.”

The Mane Attraction

NEIGHBORHOOD: Gatlin Fields

What started as a passion project for local horse enthusiast Claire Canter turned into a genuine business. Initially, Claire built her stables in Gatlin Fields to house her own horse, a mare (the horse kind, not the undead kind) named Tilly. Upon finishing the stable, however, she determined that she could make better use of the space by expanding. One stable became two, then that grew into three, then a track was added, then a polo field, and so on and so forth. And so, the Mane Attraction was born. Now settled on several acres of land, the Mane Attraction offers a place for local horse owners to stable their steeds for a monthly fee, and offers any Resters who may not have horses of their own an opportunity to meet and interact with the animals.

MORE INFO:

They offer horseback riding lessons at three different levels: beginner, intermediate, and expert. The beginner and intermediate classes are both taught by Claire herself, while the expert classes are taught by her great great uncle, Cody Canter. No one’s sure how long Cody’s been teaching, but there are a few photos of old-timey cowboys who bear a striking resemblance to him around town…

The Mane Attraction also sponsors Wicked’s Rest’s amateur polo club. The club meets at the stables fairly often and make good use of the field Claire built. 

Some of the horses who live in the stable full time are… a little odd. In fact, some of them may not be horses at all. There’s at least one unicorn who seems strangely docile and a pair of nuckelavee who seem content to spend their above water hours hanging out in the stable. The latter seem really interested in certain members of the polo club, though…

Looking to give back to the community, Claire has teamed up with the Wicked’s Rest Community Center for several outreach programs, including offering up her horses and stables for equine therapy and doing shows at local schools for the kids.

The undead kind of mares are strictly prohibited from the premises. It’s unfortunate, but their presence tends to spook the horses, making it dangerous for everyone involved. To enforce this, Cody’s loyal hound dog is posted by the entrance to the facilities, sniffing visitors as they arrive. If he growls, Cody refuses an individual from entering. It’s not a foolproof process, and human visitors have been mistakenly banned.

In addition to horses, The Mane Attraction is well-known locally for housing an even-tempered mountain wurm named Murphy. Children and adults both delight in doing trail rides on a big wurm. There have only been a few problematic incidents with Murphy. You can count them on your remaining fingers.

Caring for Sports Horses: Keeping Them at Their Best

Sports horses are remarkable athletes, known for their strength, agility, and willingness to perform. Whether competing in show jumping, dressage, eventing, or racing, their physical and mental well-being is paramount to their success and longevity in the sport. Proper care goes beyond regular feedings and exercise—it's about creating a holistic approach to their health and performance. Here’s how to keep your equine partner performing at their best.

Nutrition Matters

A balanced diet tailored to your horse's activity level and needs is essential. Sports horses require a combination of high-quality forage, grains, and supplements to fuel their energy and recovery. Electrolytes are crucial, especially during intense training or competition, to replace minerals lost through sweat. Always consult with an equine nutritionist to ensure your horse's diet supports their performance goals.

Regular Exercise and Conditioning

Structured training programs that include variety—such as hacking, pole work, and interval training—help build strength and prevent boredom. Incorporate warm-ups and cool-downs to reduce the risk of muscle strain and stiffness. Remember, overtraining can lead to fatigue and injury, so balance is key.

Veterinary Care and Preventive Measures

Routine check-ups with your equine veterinarian are non-negotiable. Vaccinations, deworming, and dental care are the foundation of preventive health. Monitoring your horse for signs of discomfort, such as changes in behavior or performance, can catch issues early before they become major problems.

Equine Sports Massage Therapy

One of the best-kept secrets to maintaining a happy and healthy sports horse is incorporating the services of a qualified equine sports massage therapist. These professionals specialize in identifying and relieving muscular tension, improving circulation, and enhancing flexibility—all of which are critical for athletic performance. Regular massage therapy sessions can also aid in recovery after competitions and help prevent injuries by keeping your horse’s muscles supple and balanced.

The Power of Rest and Recovery

Horses, like humans, need downtime to recover and recharge. Incorporate rest days into your horse’s schedule and allow for adequate turnout time. Mental relaxation is just as important as physical recovery, and a happy horse is a more willing partner.

Proper Tack and Equipment

Ensure saddles, bridles, and other equipment fit correctly and are in good condition. Ill-fitting tack can cause discomfort, affect performance, and lead to behavioral issues. Regularly inspect and adjust your gear to accommodate changes in your horse’s physique.

Hydration and Grooming

Hydration is vital, especially during warmer months or after strenuous activity. Provide fresh, clean water at all times and consider adding water-soaked hay or beet pulp to your horse’s diet to increase fluid intake. Grooming is not just about aesthetics—it’s an opportunity to check for cuts, swelling, or heat and to strengthen the bond with your horse.

Listen to Your Horse

Your horse will often tell you how they’re feeling through subtle cues. Pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or performance. A sluggish or irritable horse might be signaling discomfort or fatigue. Be proactive and responsive to their needs.

Final Thoughts

Caring for a sports horse requires dedication, attention to detail, and a team of professionals, including veterinarians, farriers, and equine massage therapists. By prioritizing your horse’s physical and mental health, you’re investing in their well-being and success as a partner in sport. Remember, a well-cared-for horse is a happy horse—and a happy horse is a winning horse.

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.
