Evan Buckley

This is a testament of the love he feels for Eddie and Christopher. The diaz's is not too far away in his thoughts, his home. He have pictures of them throughout his home. That is his family. His loves

[inthecarwithaboy]

I would like to see Ramon play a big part in bringing Chris and Eddie back together. I want to see the fruit of his and Eddie's labor in repairing their relationship. I want Ramon confident that Eddie is a good dad and the best thing for Chris. I want him facilitating communication between Eddie and Chris. I want him to do it to his own detriment when Helena isn't on his side. Make this nightmare worth it with the character development in the aftermath, I beg.

It’s almost time 😍😍😍

Season 8 coming soon!!!

[rockinoutinhell]

Just rewatched the tsunami arc and had a few realizations. It was 100% a choice that when Buck goes to carry the bear he puts it over his shoulder and supports it with his arm the same way he later does to Chris when running from the tsunami wave (this is why I love this show) .

I would also like to point out how Eddie and Buck hold Christopher in moments following when they had thought they had lost him. These weren't the best images cause I think Buck hugs him this way a few seperate times in Sink or Swim (possibly later episodes as well), and Eddie does as well. They both have one arm wraped around him and one hand on the back of his head to support him and hold him against them. This just further cements in my mind how this episode sort've showed how Christopher had become not just his "best friend's son" but maybe more than that for Buck.

(This is probably phrased horribly, and my grammar probably sucks but I hope it makes sense).

I said this way back at the end of S7 but the thing is, you can't treat Christopher as a fully realized person with his own feelings when it suits your purpose and then at other times, he's being taken away by his cruel grandparents to punish Eddie. This is not as simple as Christopher running away or acting up. This is a natural reaction to finding out his father cheated on his girlfriend with someone who looked like his dead mom. He really thought for a second there that his dead mom had somehow come back and the fact that Eddie responded to that appropriately by giving him space and enabling him to process that away from him is why their relationship is going to heal well. We talk a lot about what a great father he is and this decision where he fucked up massively and put his child's decisions over his feelings about said decision is proof of that. Now, I hate Helena as much as most people but Eddie was an active participant in this and this is not the narrative punishing him, just the consequences of his own actions.

ME WHEN I LIE

[morganski-19]

Eddie tries so hard not to be his parents. He tries so hard to try and be open with Chris. He tries so hard to be there, and to actively show his kid how much he loves him. He apologizes when he yells, and when he wasn't listening to Chris. When he actually checks himself, and realizes that he is falling into those habits, he takes a step back and explains where his mindset and his actions come from. He is about setting boundaries with respect, and having actual conversations with Chris.

Which is why this arc hurts so much, from so many different angles. Eddie is trying to give Chris space, trying to give him the autonomy to choose for himself. But in doing that, he is letting Chris run away from his problems, and punish the both of them in the process. Eddie knows what his parents are like. He knows that they have finally gotten what they wanted, and will actively try to keep Chris away from him forever.

Chris doesn't have all the information. Eddie's protected him from a lot of the comments his parents have made over the years about Shannon, about himself, about Chris. He has protected Chris from his own battles, trying to make sure Chris isn't affected by them.

All of this makes me wonder why Chris is still mad at Eddie. Obviously, he is mad at Eddie for the Kim thing, and he has a right to be. But, Chris has picked up on Eddie's mental health crisis in the past. In season 5, he could see how tired Eddie was, how much he missed being a firefighter. While he did not understand the extent of how deeply traumatized his dad was, he could see that something was wrong.

Now, Chris is older. I would like to believe that he can recognize that his dad was suffering. That he was acting out of his own grief. He again, wouldn't know all of Eddie's motivations, because he is still a kid, and has been sheltered from his dad's struggles with this. But he could possibly understand that Eddie was acting like this because of his trauma.

With that thought process, it makes me wonder if Chris isn't as mad about that anymore. What if he's now mad that his dad let him go to Texas at all. That he let him make this rash decision out of anger. Let him go live with his grandparents, who are probably saying rude comments about his parents right to his face. That Eddie isn't fighting more to bring him back home.

I'm not sure if they're going with this route, but I can see it being a conversation Eddie and Chris have when he gets back. I can see this being something that Eddie struggles with while trying to mend his relationship with Chris.

This whole situation is beyond complicated, and I'm honestly scared how it will turn out. All I can hope for is for Eddie to eventually learn that he can fight for his son without overstepping his boundaries. And that Chris can learn to forgive his dad, and they can move forward from this together.

[eddiebuckley-diaz]

Christopher feeling so safe with Buck to talk about how much he struggles with abandonment from his mom leaving is beautiful. You have this child who knows that he can turn to this other parental figure because Buck knew (however briefly) Shannon and Buck knows what happened when Shannon left the first time. Instead of Christopher feeling like he has to keep those thoughts in to protect hurting his dad, Chris can actually turn to another parental figure to help him.

It just says a lot on how Buck has become a co-parent in a really healthy way for Christopher.

[graycious-tea]

I’m sorry guys but Eddie is the dean winchester variant like come on. Toxic masculine dad? Check. Absent dad who made him grow up too soon? Check. Growing up in toxic masculine environments? Check. So deep in the closet Narnia can’t even see him? Check. In love with his best friend? Check. Enjoys cars? Check.

[zipadeea]

I like to head canon that these three are cousins. Being badass, beautiful and bisexual is genetic in the Diaz family. Reunions are lit so it’s a good thing they have a firefighter in the fam

___________

Here's a snippet from Chapter 26 of an emotionally distraught and hysterical Eddie while he's on the phone with 9-1-1.

___________

“9-1-1, what’s your emergency?”

“Yes I’m at 4995 S. Bedford St. and I have an adult male, 31 years of age who's unconscious and unresponsive and I need medical response.”

“Ok sir, can I get your name?”

“Eddie Diaz! I’m a firefighter and a paramedic with the 118.”

“Eddie!” Linda asks.

“Yes! Linda, I’m so glad it’s you.” He heaves past the sob lodged in the back of his throat that feels like a ping pong ball and continues. “Listen, it’s Buck… SHIT!” He stops talking because he remembers he needs to follow protocol for her recording then he tries again. “I mean you need his first and last name for the call. It’s my husband Evan Diaz and he’s also a firefighter with the—the 118.”

“Ok Eddie, I’m checking to see which RA unit is closest to that address but can you tell me what happened?”

“I—I don’t know but I came into the living room; he was swaying back and forth and I caught him before he—he hit the floor. I manually checked his vitals by doing the ABC method… I opened his airway, checked his breathing along with his circulation, then I—I got my medical bag and checked his pupillary response which is fine but his pulse, his blood pressure and his heart rate... and all of them are still low which is why I believe he might be having a bradycardia event. Linda… oh my god, whatever is happening to him is more serious than syncope because he’s still unresponsive.”

“Can you tell me how long he’s been down?”

“It’s been more than two minutes but I didn’t start counting until after I caught him so I could be one or two seconds off.”

“Ok, Eddie, our closest unit is 6 minutes away.”

He frowns and loudly asks, “Six minutes? Why?! I’m sorry please—please forgive me for being loud but I... I—I’m asking because there’s a fire station less than 4 minutes away from here.” He feels like he’s about to crawl out of his skin because the proximity of their home to the closest fire station in this area is one of the reasons why he decided to purchase it. He wanted to be close to one for Chris just in case they ever have to call emergency services.

Will the RA unit arrive in time to save Buck or will Eddie lose the love of his life? 👀
