The moment that will haunt me forever is Eddie standing in the back of Buck's hospital room, exhausted and overwhelmed to the point that he physically cannot answer Christopher's questions. That moment when Christopher asks about the tubes and he just shakes his head in frustration because he just can't. He can barely stand to look at Buck, he certainly can't bring himself to explain all of the machines that are Buck's only lifeline because he can hardly bring himself to face that reality at all.

This poor man is so drained—from staying close at the hospital, from arguing with a stubborn kid who's not supposed to be there, but who deserves to be, from trying to take care of the rest of the team, from trying to pretend he's not falling apart.

This man. This beautiful, loving man—who would do anything at all for his son, who is exceptional at communicating when it comes to Christopher—he couldn't bring himself to do more than shake his head in frustration when his son asked this question.

The amount of pain and fear that implies in Eddie is utterly heartbreaking.

The fact people act like Steve wouldn't notice if a guy/Eddie was flirting with him at all, when part of the hilarity behind the big boy flirtation scene is that Steve CLEARLY knows something about the comment is off lol. That's why he looks so baffled. Steve can be oblivious about other things but come on Casanova over there is going to notice when someone is flirting with him even if it is a guy

okay so just watched the new ep, here’s my 911 s7 ep 1 thoughts:

nearly broke down watching Shannon read the letter to Chris. “I love you, even from a distance.” I’m unwell.

the bucktalia breakup explanation was funny, but what was funnier and gayer was Eddie’s reaction to it sjdjdj

there’s absolutely no chemistry between Marisol and Eddie.

the whole Bathena marital struggles™️ arc doesn’t convince me too much tbh (although I understand Athena’s thought process & concerns).

Chris putting the Shannon frame back up and Eddie’s heart visibly repairing in front of us will forever haunt me btw

“never seen a man turn off a woman with such skills.” “it’s a gift.” fuck off u homosexual

during that same scene, Buck staring longingly and lovingly at Eddie will also forever haunt me

Buck saying the sexual tension line and Eddie almost passing out is very in character

I genuinely felt bad for Bobby during the whole episode

Madney dating and then not dating makes me fuzzy inside, they’re so obviously in love

shirtless Eddie and drooling Buck <3

Eddie eavesdropping on Buck & Chris and scrunching his face in pain made me stop the ep, sit down on the floor and scream

I'm just saying, if I was a writer on a tv show and I was trying to get my character to jump off his hamster wheel and move forward narratively maybe one thing I could do would be to possibly call back to a really important moment for him seasons ago when a gay old man was fridged to teach him a lesson that love can't be found, it has to be made, and then maybe I'd have him reexamine some of his relationships and see which ones are superficial ones that he's only giving weight to because they felt serendipitous, such as someone whose job is to make sense of death coming into his life right after he's died very traumatically, and which ones are ones he may be overlooking because they took a long time to build slowly, such as the ones that make it second nature for him to seek out and receive comfort even when there are no answers, when all you can do is realize that something sucks and there's no bigger design other than to move forward and keep living and open your eyes every morning a little less surprised to see the world still there

Everyone loves rockstar!Eddie and groupie!Steve, and I think a good inverse of that would be actor!Steve and personal assistant!Eddie who are suspiciously close, but no one really questions it.

Eddie doesn't mind playing the part if it means getting to jet around the world with his beautiful boyfriend for filming and promo tours, and along the way he learns he's surprisingly good at the job.

When people ask Steve why he brings his personal assistant to red carpets and premieres, he just shrugs. "It's part of his contract."

Thinking thoughts about the fact that soooo many really super important Buckley-Diaz family conversations happen whilst two of them are sitting on a bed and they're all connected to parental roles in some way!

Chris gets questiony about Eddie going out (he's cottoned on to the fact Eddie is dating - which naturally is a big thing for him as it brings the potential of a new parental figure - and the 'replacement' of his mom);

Then we get the shooting conversation (which is obviously about the fact his remaining parent is in grave danger, but also served to really push Buck into a parental role);

Followed by this new one (which is all about Shannon and her role in Christophers life going forward - that Christopher is scared about forgettinng her, but also beginning to show his fears around people leaving him. It also again plays into Bucks role as a co-parent - its a really lovely progression from the shooting conversation);

But we also should include the will conversation in the list - it might not have taken place in Christophers room, but the mirroring of so many aspects such as colours and camera angles and lighting etcand the fact it reveals the legal standing of Buck within the family dynamic thats already been developing.

I'm a bit in my feels about it today especially because Bucks outfit in the 7x01 scene is, in colour terms an exact match for the hospital will reveal (yellow, navy and white trainers) - and Eddie hiding in the corridor is also more or less an exact colour match as well (navy/black and khaki green)- which is telling us to link the scenes together !!!!

*Buck and Eddie after the ambulance blew up*

Eddie: You are a badass under pressure. Buck: Who, me? Eddie, distracted by Buck's arms: Yeah man, you can blow my back any day. Buck, immediately: I will blow your back every day. Eddie: What? Buck: What?

Eddie liked Buck from the start, but where are we now?

I've convinced myself that Eddie liked Buck from the very beginning - but only subconsciously. I mean, look at how he's watching Buck in 2x01, even as Buck is being bratty as they work out.

Even though Buck has been anything but kind to him up to this point, Eddie's more miffed than angered by it. Maybe a little disappointed too.

We all know by the end of 2x01, Eddie wins Buck over, and they both quasi promise to have each other's back. And then the rest of their story so far has many important and telling moments, but what if we fast forward to season 6 episode 15 and that loaded graveyard scene? Is this scene the moment where Eddie Diaz finally *consciously* realizes that his feelings for Buck are not only platonic? It was such a layered scene. Of course, there is Eddie's shellshocked reaction to Buck's proclamation that Natalia, the death doula who he just met, really sees him (bites lip in agitation), but beyond that...

It's clear that Eddie goes on to have a profound revelation after Buck says that. But what does it mean?!

He tells Buck, "You haven't been the same since it happened. But how could you be?" as he turns away and processes something internally. Perhaps something about himself as well. Eddie actually looks a little startled. A few seconds later, he reassures Buck that he doesn't have to be anyone for anybody and that experiences like this change them. He goes on to ask Buck what changed in him. I think the moment Eddie admits Buck hasn't been the same, he realizes that he has changed too. Exactly how is not made clear. Even Buck's own response to Eddie's question is vague (he says he feels like he cheated death). How did Eddie change? How did Buck change? The writers don't commit Buck and Eddie's feelings clearly in dialogue, so fans are forced to speculate, and it's why the general audience members, who don't rewatch scenes and lean in hard to the characters, think us buddie shippers are clowning half the time. *deep sigh*

But being left to my own speculation, I do think Eddie's revelation here is at least partly related to Buck. He looked disappointed when he learned Buck was starting something with Natalia. He looked hurt when Buck said she "sees him" -- and maybe those reactions surprised something in Eddie. I don't think the man he was raised to be would have recognized those feelings; he wouldn't have admitted to feeling them on a conscious level. But of course, that's why "change" is a theme in this scene and Eddie has looks like he's putting 2 and 2 together. Part of me feels Eddie was in touch with his feelings for Buck well before this episode, but then I don't know how else to interpret what the graveyard scene was meant to be if not Eddie coming to terms with the fact that he may be in love with his best friend, even as said best friend proclaims he has a new love interest in the picture. This take could set up Eddie secretly pining over Buck in season 7 quite well, though. Oh, my angst-ridden heart. I'd love to read others' thoughts on this! I'm glad I joined tumblr to read all the buddie and 9-1-1 meta out there. Forgive me if it looks like I don't know what I'm doing. I don't. I'm still new around here.

no but the homoerotic subtext of the jacket scene. like, on paper it’s a third party cutting the rekindling tension between steve and nancy, eddie throws the jacket and a quippy one liner because wow guys we have the world to save keep it in your pants. but it’s the way eddie isn’t smiling, the way his toss knocks steve off balance, the way his joke-for your modesty-is hard and brittle between his teeth. like he’s upset, like he’s jealous. and he does it again, watches nancy and steve dance around each other in the trailer portal, rolls his eyes with an alright, i guess i’ll go. and on paper, maybe he’s just jealous of steve who’s always got wildly pretty girls hanging onto him even after peaking in high school while he’s still the freak being hunted for crimes he didn’t commit but.

but he doesn’t talk to nancy, doesn’t say much more than two words to her before or after the jacket scene. barely even looks at her. no, no he makes it a point to compliment steve about the bats, to reach out and touch steve at nancy’s house, to tease steve in the van. steve harrington, the douchebag ex-jock from high school he was sure was going nowhere. harrington who drives eddie’s dnd kids around, who’s best friends with robin buckley--a girl he knows doesn’t quite live up to what she puts on paper--and who jumps in the lake headfirst. steve, who despite all odds and his own personal wishes, is someone eddie likes. 

but. it doesn’t matter that steve is cool now, that he laughs at his dumb joke or that when eddie clutches his arm steve turns to him and reaches back. he knows his role in the story. eddie is the fool, the freak, the villain of the week. no matter what happens, it’s not going to end well.

on paper, eddie throws him is jacket to be funny, to get them moving. under that--the jacket gets thrown, the joke falls flat because he can’t believe he’s got a crush on a jock. because he both hopes seeing steve play dress up will burst that bubble and wants steve to want his jacket. because he’s jealous steve wants nancy and that nancy is the one who’s going to get to keep him. 

now a full fic here

k just off the top of my head: moments of 911 s7 ep5 that are giving me an aneurysm

they cut off Eddie’s “BUCK!”

we never saw Marisol and Eddie sit down

cringed physically at the whole “we’re gonna get chicks” moment wtf wtf was that

got genuinely terrified at the little girl screaming to sleeping henren

Tommy is so real bc I would’ve left too tbh

Eddie was deeply oversexualized for no reason and it makes me severely uncomfortable that’s not him

Marisol can suckkkkk it lol

where the fuck is Chris & what does he have to say about this woman moving in??

the Maddie coming out felt weird

bucktommy nation screams

Bobby is hilarious

did Buddie fuck at the bachelor party

[theladyyavilee]

wait okay I already said it kinda as a side note in another post, but there is just something about how the first lasagna scene was so heavily relationship/missing what's right in front of you/what you already have vs what you are trying to find/recreate coded, but for buck, and then now we are getting the same thing just in a different font for eddie who is trying to recreate what he had with shannon first with marisol and when that obviously falls flat, he is looking for it in someone that reminds him of shannon, instead of actually seeing what is right in front of him (the domesticity and ease and love that he is FANTASIZING about having had with shannon, because only the love part of that fantasy was ever real with shannon, but it is obviously what he WANTS from a relationship and the fact that he has that with buck in a way he hasn't quite had it with shannon, but then is putting that ease into his fantasy about shannon is just batshit fucking insane and I am obsessed <3)

also, only slightly related ANOTHER INSTANCE of eddie saying 'sorry we're late', which makes the eddie saying he is late to buck into a fucking pattern, so thank you 911 writers for that

[fiona-fififi]

So, once upon a time, Eddie stood in Buck's loft and entrusted him with the most important, vulnerable parts of himself. Because it was about Christopher, yes, but it was also about Eddie's unwavering trust and love and handing all of those vulnerable parts of himself over to Buck to keep safe.

And now Buck gets to return the favor and entrust Eddie with all of those most vulnerable parts of himself, too.

And I just think that's really beautiful.
