#911 theories

[imakatperson22]

Hey I just wanted to thank you for not being a grump about Buck dating Tommy. I feel like a lot of people are it makes me sad. The world need more positivity. I think it will truly be good for their story line and I would enjoy it if Tommy stayed on for a the season. It would be nice if they got another friend. I want Buddie I do but I want it done right. Buck deserves to explore his sexuality, and be happy. I like how ABC is making Bi Buck interwoven in the story line and not just throwing in a quick arc for viewing ship sake. What do you think? Sorry for rambling. :)

I like Tommy a lot, actually. I think Tommy is extremely necessary to telling the Buddie story properly, if that is the story they choose to tell. If the writers just had Buck and Eddie go through simultaneous sexuality awakenings it would be boring and super fan service-y.

Buck needed someone else to explore and discover himself with that wasn’t Eddie. They’ve been friends for so long and had traumatic experiences on both sides of the relationship that they pretty much burned those 2 ideas as catalysts for their queer realizations, so the only other options would be catalysts outside of their relationship. Enter Tommy and Catholicism.

I also think it’s a little premature to claim that they aren’t just throwing it in as a quick arc? I have faith they won’t, but we do only have 2 episodes right now on the subject, so we have yet to see how his bisexuality is treated down the line. Only time will tell…

Why I think Eddie Diaz is autistic !

(As an autistic individual)

- Struggle with emotional expression:

He often struggles to express emotions, particularly in his relationship with women, (look at the way he acted with Sharon, Ana and Marisol, never communicating clearly, or doing it VERY straightforwardly (-> “you should go”)

He struggle with articulating his feelings, to name his emotions and process them (seemingly alexithymia) and he close off a lot, even with his therapist !

- Literal Thinking:

He tend to interpret language literally, (interactions with his colleagues and fast problem-solving, keeping a cool head under very stressful situations, the way he react to jokes, the way he doesn’t believe and ‘judge’ the way they fear superstitions, only believing what he can prove)

It seems to me like he experiences challenges with understanding figurative language or sarcasm and only believe what is proven, he’s very closed off about the idea of superstition which can be seen in some autistic people who struggle with theses concept

And he can be really straightforward (see the “you should go home Ana” or the “last time he wore that was at his mom’s funeral”) -> stating facts straightforwardly without processing it first and without realizing how stating it like that can be ‘awkward’ to others

- Meltdowns and Coping Mechanisms:

He experiences moments of intense frustration and resorts to unhealthy coping mechanisms (-> fights and destroying his room, hurting himself and other in the process (as in a lot of autistic meltdown and the way a lot of us turn to violent coping mechanisms to fight against sensory overload and the complexity of understanding our own emotions -> resorting to violence)

He parallels experiences of sensory overload and regulation, also his panic attacks and the way he avoid addressing his trauma and feelings by brushing it off and ignoring his own mental health, struggling to understand his own feelings about what he’s experiencing

- Difficulty with Trauma and Normalcy:

His reluctance to address trauma and persistent efforts to appear "normal."

It reflects challenges faced by autistic ppl in processing traumatic experiences and blending in with neurotypical society (force conformism and such)

There’s something about the way he and his father approach emotions, keeping it hidden and close off, that resonates a lot with my own experiences as someone autistic raised by someone who’s (probably) autistic too ‼️

+ the way he quickly connect with Buck exemplifies the ‘neurodivergent link’ : ADHD and autism solidarity is a reality ! Neurodivergent people tend to feel more secure, comfortable and friendly with other neurodivergent individuals!!

He basically just give such a autistic energy, like- I really connect with his struggle and the way he interact with the world around him, but please tell me what YOU think 🫶‼️

To have a better view of this part of him we would need more of his pov, sadly we rarely get it so I’m basing this of what I remember, what I personally see in him, what I connected with :’D

(Keep in mind that I probably projecting and it’s just an headcanon, not hate please <3 constructive criticism is welcome tho !!)

Credits it to @thisonemaniac that helped me make this post :D !! We talked about it a bit, I highlighted in orange what he remind me off ‼️

(Since you asked me about it you might want to read this :D !! I explained it better I think xD @lesbianphoebespengler )

The fact that Eddie usually doesn't help Chris in walking or anything because he wants him to do it himself and feel more independent but he still assisted his son in giving Buck a hug here..almost like he was handing Buck his own heart

[groupielove21]

“It was originally, possibly going to be with Eddie and Tommy, but that fell through.”

I really feel like we didn't have this because Ryan refused, and I completely agree!

Ryan really understands Eddie like no one else.

How would Eddie go out in less than two weeks with a man he just met?

Eddie Díaz, who grew up in Texas, in a complete Latin Catholic family.

Eddie Díaz, whom he told from a young age how he had to be a "real man/family father."

Eddie Díaz, who was only in a relationship with three women in his life and only loved one of them in a relationship that he tried to escape from and only held on to because he truly loved Shannon and the idea of ​​a family for his son.

Eddie Díaz who preferred to go to the army before facing his feelings.

Eddie Díaz, who is capable of destroying his room, losing sleep, having panic attacks, changing jobs leaving behind one of the things that makes him feel alive as long as the people he loves are happy and don't worry about him.

That Eddie Díaz needs much more than a pretty man with a helicopter to realize that that feeling of pretending, of never fitting in, of always following his instincts but never what his heart wants, are actually all the things that happen to him because he doesn't want to see that he loves other men the way he was told all his life to love women.

That Eddie Díaz, who just needs to look inside himself for a while longer, make more progress than he already does, and realize that he already loves another man and has a perfect life waiting for him if he's willing to take it.

Is it two on two basketball? Did Chim and Buck just happen to run into Eddie and Tommy?? There are two basketballs! I’m not good at sports but that’s one more than you need!!! Did Eddie blow off Buck to hang with Tommy and then Buck and Chim showed by coincidence?? And that’s Eddie’s shoe! Not on his foot! Maybe Buck really does just full body shove Eddie when they’re playing. But why wouldn’t he take his shoe? Maybe someone brings it to him.

Ugh this episode is gonna be so good I want it NOW

[vianbarnes]

to me it makes perfect sense that when buck comes out to him, eddie doesn’t hesitate for a moment to be supportive. because he loves buck (to the core). so of course he’s gonna be supportive and he’s gonna make sure buck knows that everything is ok.

eddie is a little overwhelmed, he’s taking in a lot of information. he just learned something very important and unexpected about buck and that’s already enough to have him stop and think “oh, really?”. but buck didn’t go on a date with just some guy, did he? he went out with someone who he was also getting close to, and he had no idea. and let’s not forget that eddie was already going through a crisis of his own, which made buck’s confession hit even harder.

out of all these emotions, he choses to focus on the most important one: making sure buck feels safe and loved. accepted. and so he reassures him, he jokes around as he always does and then hugs him. that’s exactly what buck needs and so that’s what he does.

but what happens after that? what happens when eddie actually takes a moment to sit with this information? is he gonna start rethinking his relationship with buck (or even his interactions with tommy)? is he gonna realise that what he and buck have isn’t just a normal friendship? is he gonna wonder if he never saw buck that way because he didn’t think (or he didn’t know) he was an option? what then?

that’s what i wanna know.

I know it's stupid to hope about such a possible buddie 7s arc, But what if trapped together couple it's them? trapped in water? and they both panic because they are dying together and Chris can't stay without at least one of them, and they both has bad memories about dying in water,but it's Eddie who has his real panic attack first in front of Buck? and Buck helps him with a kiss and they both feel strange about it. that's why Eddie creates a distance between them to think about what happened and how it effects him and his relationship with Marisol. and Buck comes to him during the work about and makes him talk about the panic attack and eventually about the kiss but ofc as it's can be so easy they both say "It means nothing, right?" "ofc" but they both pining

[amethysttheanarchist]

So like I've been thinking about buck and Tommy and Eddie cause why the hell not

As much as I like buddie, I have to admit that Tuck is starting to get its hold on me like I need them to be together for at least 3 episodes

I've already started making my speculation for their whole relationship.

So I truly believe that Buck likes Tommy and Tommy like buck, but I also belive that deep down buck always has been and always will be on love with Eddie.

Tommy, while with Buck, realizes that Buck is in love with Eddie, and he has already kinda figured out that Eddie loves buck deep down during those trips and hang-outs they were diu f

Tommy, despite loving Buck, knows that it'd be better for him to let buck go so that he may realize he loves Eddie and cam pursue him.

I belive that Tommy will break up with Buck and this will leave Buck hurt and confused cause "the first gay relationship I've ever been in has gone down the crapper" and in a fit of this hurt and confusion, He ends up at Eddie's house.

He ends up spilling his guts and also coming out to him in the process and then BOOM, Eddie just sees him in this whole new light and so whole Buck is spiraling about all this, Eddie just fucking kisses him and that's as far as I've gotten in my psycho daydreams

* full clown makeup and delusion *

I am going to, stone cold, throw this theory out into the deep end. Whether I’m right or wrong, as the 118 motto goes, ‘who cares!’.

Even though 7x04 was the 100th episode, there are only 10 episodes this season, making 7x05 the mid-season finale. Plus after 7x05 we have a 2 week break, so it’s obviously going to end of some sort of significant and big cliffhanger moment.

Now for the stone’s throw….I fully am expecting a Buddie kiss at the end of 7x05. It will break the internet and it will break tumblr as we have 2 weeks to digest it. Do I think Buddie will be in a relationship because of it? Absolutely not. I think the kiss will start something but they won’t be together at least until mid-season 8 maybe 9 if the decide to push it.

I throw this into the ether. Do with it what you will. I will be here as a clown with Pandora’s box of hope.

[imakatperson22]

Y’all. We need to talk about this fandom discourse.

Buck is a bottom. Absolutely just wants the shit railed out of him. He wants to be USED. Praise kink.

Tommy is a top. Confident, considerate, patient. Gives off “I’m pouring your beer for you now but I’m going to destroy you later” vibes.

Eddie is vers that leans top. Aftercare of his partner is his favorite part but sometimes he just wants to let go.

I will not be taking constructive criticism.

[fionaswhvre]

Eddie being mad at Buck during the lawsuit era was kinda insane because:

• He didn't really even have anything to be mad about.

• The lawyer bought up personal stuff about others (Bobby's addiction, Hen's past job, Chimney's stabbing) but the only personal thing about Eddie that was talked about was his wife's death & only in the context of Bobby letting him back to work so soon after that.

• It can be argued that Eddie was mad on behalf of Bobby, but he never once reprimanded Buck for suing Bobby.

• So, the only reason left for Eddie's anger is not being able to talk to Buck.

• This was right after he told him he trusted Buck with his son the most in the world. And then Buck didn't give it a second thought that he won't be able to talk to Eddie.

• And that drives Eddie crazy with anger because how dare Buck not think about him even once before deciding that he's okay with not talking to him.

• Also, it's not entirely Buck's fault because the whole thing was supposed to be temporary anyways. Whether he won or lost, once the case was over, he was allowed to talk to them.

• But Eddie cannot even digest that, because he has come to rely on Buck for everything.

• And that makes him mad at himself too, because how dare he assume Buck would stay for him and his son when Christopher's own mother didn't.

• Thus, he blames himself for again relying on someone when the world has proven to him again and again that he and Christopher only have each other.

• And that makes him so angry that he joins a fucking fight club.

Bonus: When Buck comes back, Eddie forgives him in an instant. Something he couldn't bring himself to do for Shannon, who was supposed to be the love of his life.

[groupielove21]

Sorry, but this really was the most Buddie episode I've seen in all 7 seasons.

Buck goes on a date, with a boy he likes, who he can even calmly talk about with his sister, but the moment Eddie shows up, the moment Eddie can realize that he likes men (that he likes another man) Buck loses all sense of the situation.

Maddie accepting Buck, but instead of telling him that he has to apologize to Tommy, that he should fix things, she tells him that he still has a lot of things to understand about himself (!!!!) and that he should talk as soon as possible with Eddie.

Eddie rushing in with a girl just because he feels like it's the right thing to do, even when no one else was rushing him. Feeling tremendous pressure at the fact that his actions could make God angry with him (!!!).

Christopher is nowhere to be found so he cannot comment on absolutely any of the decisions his two dads are making.

Bobby making Eddie understand that he has no problems with commitment because he can commit (for example his entire relationship with Shannon and Buck), it just seems like he doesn't want to accept a big part of himself (!!!).

Eddie and Buck talking about Buck's new sexuality which Eddie has no problem with, even though throughout the episode we saw him commenting on how he is being persecuted for his Catholic guilt (which tells us that Catholic guilt is actually for something what happens with himself and not with the people he truly loves).

Eddie realizing that he doesn't know when a man likes other men (or when they flirt with him!).

The faces they both make after hugging each other, looking at each other with a new type of look that goes beyond their simple camaraderie, as if they were family.

The fact that they both still see absolutely none of these signs and that's why they push themselves into other people's arms.

[baddygab-bi]

Guys.

Hang on. Stay with me for a second.

I thought of a way that 911 can still refuse to give us Bi!Buck.

What if Tommy has a kid and he and Eddie are bonding over the fact that they’re both dads?? Buck will feel replaced in a best friend way, but also in a “he doesn’t have a kid” way. And the jealousy is from the fact that he didn’t realize how much he wants a kid until he realizes that everyone around him has one. He’s jealous that Tommy and Eddie share being dads, and he doesn’t. And then Eddie comes over and says something about how Christopher is like a son to Buck.

[cassym4]

🤡 Sound the buddie clown alert cus I have an idea!

What if when eddie sees Buck and Tommy on their date, after initially having no idea that they were on a date (cause him and buck do that kind of "hang out" all the time), he gets confused/jealous and spends the whole episode being short/ rude with buck, especially when buck brings up Tommy or is on the phone with him, similar to how Eddie was this episode until finally at the end of the episode, Eddie kisses buck. They can either leave the episode there or end it with eddie/ buck running away to leave the other confused. And then boom 2 week break to leave us wondering will this be the season.

Even if it doesn't happen, it would make a great story! So if you are a good writer, feel free to write this and tag me or share it with me!
