Eddie Diaz: The Sip Saga

[apricustar]

i can’t stop thinking about how intentional it felt that buck’s big grief moment—his most open, honest reflection about bobby with someone in his life—was with tía pepa. not eddie. not maddie. but eddie’s aunt—eddie’s family.

it’s soft, intimate; a conversation underlaid by years of something we haven’t seen on screen, but that exists all the same—an undercurrent of familiarity, of care, of a relationship built quietly in the background.

and the thing is, pepa doesn’t speak to him like a guest, doesn’t treat him as her nephew’s coworker (or old coworker, i guess): she calls him evancito, later cariño—terms you don’t just throw around. those names come from genuine affection, closeness—love.

and then there’s the moment she calls him our eddie. not my nephew. not eddie. our eddie. buck is already part of the ‘our’—already included, inherently.

all of this tell us everything the show doesn’t say out loud: that this isn’t new. that buck is already hers. already family.

and that line in the episode description? buck contemplates where he’s supposed to be.

yeah. it’s here!!!

in this home. in this kitchen. with this family—the family and life he and eddie have been building together for the past 7 years.

this is where he belongs, the people he belongs to.

I see your "Christopher was annoyed/embarrassed by Eddie setting up his dramatic reveal and leaning against the doorway waiting for Buck to arrive" and I raise you "Christopher loves a good bit just as much as his dad, ESPECIALLY when it's at Buck's expense; he helped plan this little scene out and was just as excited about it as Eddie was".

kings of repression Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley that had a very homoerotic hug in front of a U-Haul only for their reunion to be for Bobby's funeral and they haven't even hugged about it once

It fucking pisses me off that people keep trying to paint Eddie as abusive, even though he’s proven over and over again that, no matter how angry he gets, he would never actually hurt anyone. Even at the peak of his grief — completely furious — he still held back his emotions. And still, people label him as abusive, while other characters have acted out and didn’t get nearly the same backlash.

No one called Bobby abusive when he shoved Buck.

No one called Buck abusive when he sprained Eddie's ankle.

So why is it different when Eddie puts a hand on his shoulder and points at him? Why are those considered less intense than a hand on the shoulder and a finger?

And no — even though he was grieving, I don’t think Eddie was right to take it out on Buck like that. He doesn’t think so either. That’s why later he says, “I heard some dick (he) was pissing you off.” He knows he crossed a line with Buck.

In my opinion, the problem at that moment was that Eddie needed Buck — he needed them to share their grief, to support each other. But Buck was so focused on trying to “fix things” that he didn’t realize grief isn’t something you fix — it’s something you feel. And that frustrated Eddie because all he really wanted was to be with his partner. (It honestly reminded me of when the same thing happened with Hen and Karen.)

Every single fight they had has come down to a lack of communication, a lack of expressing their feelings — and the explosion that follows.

Were Eddie actions okay? In my opinion, no. But it doesn't mean he's abusive. He’s grieving. Just like Buck. Just like everyone else. People grieve in different ways.

Honestly, if you consider him abusive while thinking other characters’ actions were justifiable, then I have news for you — it’s kinda clear why you think that.

And I can’t deal with people using such a serious issue just because of a ship war.
