eddie diaz has bewitched me with his swagless spirit and mournful cow-eyes. yes i want him to have a happy joyful life where nothing bad ever happens to him but it'll be a cold day in hell when i do not cheer when he gets dunked into the chocolate vat of trauma again. i am making wine out of that man's tears. don't @ me, he's very pretty when he suffers.

inbox and dms are always open; i may be terrible at initiating conversation but i am a big old yapper at heart and will talk your ear off if given the chance. mutuals can always ask for discord.

i sacrifice my sleep schedule to watch as many episodes live as possible and tag spoilers with #911 spoilers for (typically) the entire weekend. if you want me to tag anything else let me know :)

block #doomtown if you want to avoid any doom-ey asks and posts <3

occasionally i write fic or post art. currently i'm chipping away at my 89k 5/6 chapters queering the map fic that i started for summerofbuddie (i will get it finished before 8b so help me god god not only decided not to help me, he also made me depressed, so this'll take even longer than i'd hoped)

if i've blocked you (or perhaps your asks aren't coming through), chances are you ended up in the cross-fire of me playing bot-whack-a-mole. sorry about that.

the only 911 headcanon i'll ever be truly militant about is that none of them are swifties

Extending congratulations to the 9-1-1 fan on Twitter whose fake slice of life Buddie text fooled Buzzfeed into including it on their weekly "39 Hilarious Fails That Actually Happened To People This Week" article.

Someone exclaims in the background, but Buck’s voice cuts through louder when he asks, “You… you want to borrow my…?” “Flashlight,” Eddie supplies with patient emphasis. It is not, strictly speaking, a leap of faith to assume Buck of all people would have one, but he did move recently, so— who knows what’s still lost in Packed Box Limbo. “Please tell me you have one I can use.” “I…” there’s a lengthy pause on the other end, Buck’s voice weak and tapering off at the end. “Y-Yeah, okay.”

Or: Eddie just needs to borrow some tools. Fleshlight, flashlight, what’s the difference? The distinction has never been more illuminating.

read on ao3!

anyway erm I think buck has a kind of sadistic streak (covering eddie in bees... my guy...) that combined with his clipboard buck shenanigans could turn into some real Taking This Guy Apart antics if exercised through domming like I think someone called him a dog with a squeaky toy once and that is so correct, he is a dog with a squeaky toy that's also doing science on when the squeaky toy makes which kind of squeak. considering him pushing eddie at the basketball game I feel like there's also a lot of angst potential here too – what does it mean that i want to hurt you, how can that be okay, even if you enjoy am I still bad for enjoying it too? then again there can also be a lot of gratification and pleasure in dealing out punishment as a means of stopping eddie from punishing himself (there's a wonderful post on bdsm buddie somewhere that I'll have to dig up that mentions this), like there's a lot of power and love in the idea of being the person that gets to help you work through that, "washes you clean" in a sense and I think that feeling of importance, intimacy and trust could rlly be smth for him too

[guiltfactory]

i would like if something horrible and invasive was happening to him and his boundaries were violated and he was uncomfortable and scared

re: this post i do think a central element of The Buckley Diaz Family Thing is eddie's complete unspoken confidence that buck will always put him and chris first, but crucially, without him ever having to cede any control there. unlike shannon, buck doesn't actually have any rights to eddie or chris, as is amply demonstrated by basically all of s8. he can't make any demands because he's 'just' the best friend. it's not his place.

and the thing is, eddie is chris's father, he does have the right to make the calls there, and buck is not and does not. it's not as simple as 'buck foolishly thinks that he's not unconditionally a part of The Diaz Family but eddie and chris set him straight' - in actual fact, he's been repeatedly framed as an outsider when it comes to their family unit in the past two seasons. it's just that buck has never had any responsibilities that precluded him putting eddie (and chris) first despite that, and now (maybe) he does. and i think that could really shake things up between them.

can you imagine the emotional whiplash eddie suffered in the summer '24. he starts out with oh i have my girlfriend who can always babysit for me when i need her to and who i have fun and relaxed sex with on a daily basis since she just moved in, and i have my wonderful beautiful boy best friend who is and always will be deeply obsessed with me, and i have this new buddy who likes all the things i like and takes me out on expensive not-dates like flying me to vegas in a helicopter :))) and two weeks later his boy bestie and his former new buddy are suddenly dating and no longer obsessed with him and he first couldn't get it up for his girlfriend anymore because she used to be a nun and then she had to move out and now she broke up with him because his ass got visited by the ghost of his ex wife and he managed to get into the strangest emotional affair known to man that also ended up traumatising his kid and made him run from home like my guy hot girl summered too close to the sun and got burnt to a fucking crisp

[martyreddie]

also can you imagine eddie "I don't deserve joy" diaz years down the line coming to the realisation that maybe he only has everything he wanted in life (husband, happy family) because he was able to let buck in the way he did, and he was only able to do THAT because shannon died. oh he would flagellate himself down to the bone me thinks

[martyreddie]

said it a thousand times but. oughoughugh the way buck's and eddie's issues with sex mirror each other... buck using sex as a shortcut to find emotional intimacy and eddie using sex as a shortcut to evade emotional intimacy... they are like two pieces of a puzzle. by which I mean they should slot together already

[martyreddie]

buddie getting cursed to share dreams but they don't know about the curse and now it's been getting really awkward at the breakfast table because neither knows how to tell the other that they've had 14 consecutive nights filled with sex dreams of the other

[martyreddie]

eddie diaz is a beautiful vase with a voluptuous shape and gorgeous glazing and i'm sure he could live peacefully on someone else's shelf as a cherished piece of expensive decor until his life's end but unfortunately he has found his way into this house of mine, and as an avid kintsugi enthusiast i want nothing more than to see how many beautiful pieces he can splinter into when i smash him with a hammer

[martyreddie]

anyway. I need eddie diaz to experience pms
