Okay. But Evan wouldn’t even question it.

In fact, I bet he’d have a second garland making with his OWN method.

Re: Eddie Díaz, single mother

I planned on leaving this unaddressed but I’m a little annoyed. Tumblr is such an interesting community filled with people who willfully misinterpret an entire post just because it doesn’t gel with their analysis. I didn’t call Eddie a woman here and while “politically a woman” is clumsy phrasing my friend thoroughly explained what they meant in their thread. If you approached it in good faith, you should’ve gotten the message. We are both aware he’s a man, so the accusation that we are trying to “escape shipping two men” is completely false. But I’m also a little unsure why it’s difficult to believe our interest and analysis can’t be wholly sincere. I feminize Eddie in my fanfic because I think it’s hot. But I also feminize him in television analysis because I see interesting threads in his storylines that aren’t typically found in single fatherhood stories. I’m a complex woman who can walk, talk and chew all at the same time. You don’t have to agree, but don’t assume that I’m just motivated by political vanity. I’m a yapper, I yap.

i won't get mad at people for thinking eddie is bi, i don't agree but whatever. what is tripping me up is how some fans are suddenly discussing his relationships with shannon, ana and marisol as if these were normal relationships with women that just didn't work out for xyz reasons heterosexual relationships normally don't work out. like no, that's buck! all of eddie's relationships ended because he was going back and forth between pushing himself into and then running away from a role he thinks he has to fulfil but doesn't actually want. bobby practically says it to his face in 705! buck's relationships don't work out because they end up being incompatible (and he's in love with someone else lol). eddie's relationships don't work out because he realises (or accepts) that he doesn't actually want them. and this isn't me digging for subtext, this is all said out loud and addressed onscreen! in the dialogue! there's a reason eddie only wanted to make it work with marisol again after buck came out. sorry for the rant i feel like i'm going crazy with some of the takes i've been seeing! the notion especially that the ana break up wasn't about his sexuality is baffling to me, he was practically quoting michael grant and carlos reyes when talking about their relationships with women

In order to keep myself sane, I have must regularly remind myself that fandom these days is about rejecting everything a show directly, indirectly or even subtextual says until the character in question faces the camera and argues “I’m doing this because I’m gay.” But yeah, like, Eddie’s gay. His relationships don’t work out for those reasons, he uses the physical intimacy of sex to makeup for the lack of his emotional connection with his female partners. Like, it’s all right there in the show…

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

There’s been talk about how the vertigo arc is meant to “punish” Eddie since the very start this past spring, and I’ve never understood why fans ever reached this conclusion when the storyline was written with such love, care and compassion for the character. You can really feel Eddie's pain if you actually engaged the storyline in good faith. Like, Ryan Guzman gave us his best performance and “we” as a fanbase only paid him back with complaints and dismissals that it was too fantastical, stupid and had no true narrative relevance. When Tim Minear wished he had more episodes to explore the storyline, he wasn’t admitting that he failed. He was telling us, the audience, that there was even more to explore through this particular lens. And instead of analyzing what was said and how it was vocalized during the Kim’s forced roleplaying scene, this fandom have gotten stuck in a never-ending battle in a rush to litigate who was at fault when that doesn’t particularly matter to the characters or even the show itself. It was always supposed to be a physical manifestation of Eddie’s internal struggles, that of his sexuality (again, as we all should know by now, this man’s a flaming homosexual) and the role Shannon played in his self-denial and repression.

To cope with his perceived failures, he heavily romanticize his marriage and relationship with Shannon because he’d be cast as a dutiful husband, father and provider from childhood. Shannon asked him for a divorce after she spent an entire year making him jump through hoops to prove he was “worthy” enough of her attention, of her love, even though it was she who ran in the cloak of darkness never to contact him or their son again. It was Eddie who’d brought her back into their lives, as she was content with being away until her vanity was satisfied from being needed by way of being the deciding factor in Christopher’s school placement. So, although I don’t know if Shannon was ever truly “happy” in Los Angeles, during this period, she still got a chance to “self-actualize” without the “burdens” (responsibility) of being a parent for two to three years before died in front of Eddie, who’d never been granted this same opportunity. Instead, this crystalized him as a father first, husband second, first responder third with Eddie Díaz the person coming in at a long distance fourth. All this is something Eddie doesn’t know how to turn off since his life has never been calm enough to simply be. He's a performer through and through so, to me, his heightened silliness is his mask, not necessarily the mustache. I think that maybe that’s his test, that maybe we are going to learn that he already has had his thoughts that maybe he’s gay and his mustache was him feeling things out. But who knows what to expect with 9-1-1. While I’m opened to being surprised, I fear that many aren’t.

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

It's through all this that I can’t help but notice that by way of the both 9-1-1 and its fandom how single mother coded Eddie is, though it’s only the fans who treat him with vitriol. If I argue that Eddie has been feminized by the narrative in how his parents has treated him through the years (first as a surrogate parent for his sisters, second for questioning his fitness as a parent after Shannon’s disappearance left him destitute and working three jobs to support their son with, a situation that is most commonly associated with single motherhood), there is argument to be made that Shannon had been in turn masculinized. Through season two and in “Eddie Begins”, she’s written as someone who puts herself. When she comes through for Eddie, she never once asks or considers Christopher’s feelings — her only consider is “has he asked about me?” She demands that she is immediately let back into his life while Eddie is left to weight the emotional fallout: she explicitly desires the ability to walk in and out of her child’s life without consequence, Eddie fears the damage it could cause his son, but it is the Eddie who is criticized by fans for being hysterical and unrelenting in voicing these thoughts, which is quite interesting given how against they were in season six when Denny sneaking out out of a desire to know his biological father.

In addition to everything I pointed out above, for the past six years, Buck has been continuously praised for stepping up as the role of “father”, although it was only last season we have truly seen Buck act in a parental role — which is something I considered wholly symbolic of where Eddie’s mind is at. By erasing the boundaries of Buck, Friend of Chris by allowing him to provide advice and assistance as Buck, Stepfather of Chris, Eddie unintentionally unearthed what he’s been repressing since puberty: his own desires, not his parents’ (who’d seen him as a secondary parent for his sisters), not Shannon’s (her “uncooperative” husband), or even Ana’s or Marisol’s (their Disney prince, we can surmise because if we momentarily disregard his emotional infidelity at play — with Buck, not Kim — he had always tried to be a good partner, his only true “fault” is that he couldn't fall in love with them). And in consequence, it’s been Eddie's mental fitness called into question. The common refrain is that he needs therapy, that he’s just simply too mentally ill. He doesn’t need social support, he should be diagnosed and prescribed Wellburtin’s maximum dose. I find this all too hostile, too odd approach when 9-1-1 itself has always very much interested in the social conditions that got Eddie to this place, and these all reactions I find levied at mothers throughout history. In a way, though he’s definitely a better suited for parenthood, Eddie reminds me of Mad Men’s Betty Draper, whose storylines have always been concerned with societal pressures placed on housewives, yet was constantly treated with scorn by the fanbase and placed at odds with more the “proactive” and career-minded Peggy Olsen and Joan Holloway, but that’s for another day.

[sunsetbuddie]

honestly i am forever thinking about eddie answering his door to buck sweaty with no pants on like. there is no way in this world buck did not think eddie was jerking off. like, he's sat on that sofa drinking his beer and puts two and two together and is like. wait a goddamn minute. whips his head around to look at eddie like. uhhhhh. did you answer the door to me mid—*does a hand gesture* and eddie just. bursts out laughing. and buck's like. it's not funny eddie! i'm so sorry. i mean, you answered the door though, so. but. did you even get to—you know? and eddie who is high on joy right now grins and is like, casually. why? you offering to help? and buck's brain bluescreens. and he's like. no!!!!!! i mean, not no. not—not that i wouldn't if, uh. that's what you need? i would. help. if you wanted me to. and now eddie's brain is bluescreening. and they're staring at each other. charged. for what feels like forever and buck could swear they're closer now but he can't remember which one of them moved. maybe both of them? and eddie says softly, dancing, buck. i was dancing. and buck says, oh. and eddie kisses him.

[colonoscopys]

so many things going on but buck noticing eddie is wearing a button down. he categorizes that man in his head like a fucking barbie. everytime eddie comes over he shuffles through his selection and clicks through date night cologne ;) fancy meeting button down ;(. there has never been someone more in love ever

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

I was scrolling through your blog and it's like I found a haven? I adore Eddie, but god is it so hard to find stuff about him without Buck and I ship them! This fandom feels very much "What about Buck?" when I'm a "What about Eddie?" person. Anyways, I really loved reading all the analyses about Eddie and I agree so much with the judging the season as a whole vs just by individual episodes, because the midseason finale felt disappointing as a midseason finale but it wasn't a bad episode. It just felt jarring because it was a very midseason episode set with the expectation that it's a finale in a way, which makes sense because as a whole season, it's a midseason episode, not a finale.

I have a bunch of thoughts, but not enough sleep, so I'll send in more asks later!

Thank you so much for sending such a kind ask! I adore Eddie so much that I sort of can’t help but center him in all my analysis. Regarding this year’s midseason finale, it’s a little curious that ABC promoted 9-1-1 spring return as a two-episode event. Like, I think it’s fair to suggest they prefer events for their shows’ midseason premieres to cliffhangers for the finales. It’s 9-1-1’s first full season on a new network, so I just want to give them the entire crew some more time in finding their groove again. What was preferred on Fox won’t necessarily be true for ABC, and I believe that’s been left out the conversation too.

Anyway I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts! It’s like 3:00 AM here, so let me go back to sleep lol.

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

Defending Shannon’s actions is appealing because she’s a dead woman and thus not in a true “romantic rival”, but the depths her fans reach is exhausting to witness day in and day out. And I can’t even mute “Shannon” because one of my favorite people on Twitter shares her name.

[schneebies]

I'm always confused by what people who wish she hadn't died still want from her character because in my mind, the only additional story to tell there would've been 1) redemption, which the show has no obligation or need to do or 2) a reveal that she knew that Eddie is gay, which I don't think she did. Tim may sometimes wish he kept her for another half of a season or so, but even he admitted that there wasn't anywhere else to go with her character.

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

She served her narrative use in life and is more interesting dead. That provides Eddie a lot of character weight. And if she had lived, we wouldn’t have gotten the will scene.

[excellentmedium]

I’ve encountered the offending post and it’s filled with so many horrid takes and this is the most puzzling. Less offensive than their thoughts on Athena, but still. Fridging is supposed to serve as a turning point in the character attached to the fridged character. Shannon’s death definitely altered the trajectory of Eddie’s story because he was no longer just an abandoned husband, but a widow.

However, her death was more of a redemption for her in terms of character and motivation. She gets to be a martyr instead of a woman who was most certainly about to walk out on her family again. Eddie was already a single father doing everything he can to protect and provide for his family. He didn’t need Shannon to die to wake up or fight hard or whatever people think Shannon’s death did for him. She wasn’t even fridged in my opinion because her death didn’t result in a heroic moment for Eddie. My guy is already a hero. That’s established before he even joined the 118. I know that words enter the lexicon from subcultures and can apply to situations outside of that, but fridging is a comic book trope. Aunt Mae was fridged to give Peter Parker his moment in No Way Home. Shannon was just killed to get her off the show. No offense to the Shannon fans. As a Kim girlie, I empathize. But I’m not arguing that Kim should be allowed to sprinkle her nonsense all over season 8 so that she can be redeemed. I just want to see how Kim reacts to seeing Buck again. She clocked him at the fire station when she brought those brownies. Let’s pair those Eddie stalkers together and see what happens.

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

However, her death was more of a redemption for her in terms of character and motivation. She gets to be a martyr instead of a woman who was most certainly about to walk out on her family again.

I wish more understood this key part. Shannon’s only sympathetic or a tragic figure because she’s dead. But she didn’t spend season two trying to repair her family. Eddie did, and all her contributions were criticism. She complained that he didn’t immediately let her back into Christopher’s life (she never did take ownership of abandoning him). She complained about the extracurricular activities Eddie enrolled his son in (she wasn’t financially supporting her son). She even took their problems to his place of work in front of his colleagues in an attempt to shame and embarrass him (that’s harassment). She wasn’t a good person, but facts don’t matter when your life gets cut short in a motor vehicle accident at the age of thirty or whatever.

Redemption by death isn’t a moral position; it’s a spiritual belief.

[fear-o-phobia]

talk of eddie “blowing up his life” to move to texas is umm. well i don’t think that’s very fair. because his thinking is linear and logical and supported with the repeated evidence that he has been given! he cannot connect with his son through this distance despite threesix/sixthree months of trying. he is actively being blocked from doing so. his son is his greatest joy in life. he is missing out on christopher growing up and he doesn’t want to miss any more. he isn’t spinning out, he isn’t blowing up his life, he thought about what he wanted and what he needed and he drew a conclusion based on the information and options available to him and decided that he needed to move to texas to be near chris. because THAT is what is going to bring him joy. i think people (general, broad, etc) misassign buck’s core identity of “firefighter for station 118” to eddie, when eddie likes his job and is good at his job but his son will always be his number one priority. like does it feel drastic? yes! but it is a decision made with care, clarity, and consideration, not impulsivity or a lack of understanding himself

[excellentmedium]

I think this is fair.

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

I agree with the original poster’s point in that fans often graph Buck’s core identity onto Eddie, and that shifts the conversation away from how he actually functions as a character. However, I do have to disagree gently that this isn’t Eddie “blowing up his life.” Like yes, I definitely agree that this is a clear and logical decision that he has made with the evidence presented before him, but that’s how he regularly gets himself in trouble. We saw this when he quit his job in season five. This was depicted in “Eddie Beings” by way of his career choices. Hell, it’s even presented in season two when he allowed Shannon back into Christopher’s life even though she displayed no real remorse for abandoning their child two years prior. Eddie will always pick the logical, reasonable regardless of how he feels because he has been raised and conditioned to believe what he wants doesn’t matter.

Christopher will always be his priority, as that Chris is his child and he is a parent, but this move if he goes through with his decision (which I do believe will happen) will be detrimental to him and their relationship because it’s another decision that ruled by what he perceives to be Christopher’s needs, wishes and desires. So when I suggest that he is “blowing up his life,” it’s more like suggestion that his faith in what’s “linear” and what’s “logical” is Eddie’s version of magical thinking, because you can’t logic your way out of your own feelings. Both Eddie and Christopher were happier in Los Angeles, so the fact that he suddenly believe that they must reside in El Paso to regain the trust that was lost makes the decision impulsive (to me).

[aeraspais-deactivated20260202]

i was thinking about how in buck's coming out scene you see eddie struggle between being a good friend to buck and feeling like he needed to get the hell out of there. and we see a similar struggle with buck in 808! he knows the mature option is to support eddie and help him (and he's in love with him so he frames it as WE should pick a house 🥰 his dream...) but he starts panicking the second eddie is out of his sight. and eddie's a runner where buck's a clinger so instead of trying to leave, he sits his ass on the couch and inserts himself in the moving process. princess diaz is just smiling, thinking he was being sooo silly for doubting that buck would support him through anything. and you know he lowkey loved that buck took charge with the house stuff. also i know tim said he walked back the "eddie feeling left out" stuff but i think this scene showed how tommy did keep a bit of a distance between them because we haven't seen them domestic in that way since buck confronted him about kim and christopher left. it wasn't like with previous exes because they were doing a "my boyfriend and my boyfriend's boyfriend" bit the whole time but there was that little bit of emotional distance because they just don't know how to be normal friends anymore and they seem to subconciously know that the boundaries need to be a little more defined when they're not single. and i really loved the clever framing of "here's buck being silly about a break up!" and then him realising he's about to be experiencing a REAL loss. that whole scene was their dynamic down to a t, i just loved it

God, yes, yes yessssssss.

[excellentmedium]

Your Nonnies really are the best. He's about to be experiencing REAL loss indeed.

I still maintain Buck hated Tommy's guts, and was just mad he broke things off first. But perhaps the sex really was fire. He did say he was "jonesing for it" in the house-hunting scene as opposed to jonesing for him. Bravo, Thomas. Well done.

I wondered how Eddie being odd-man out next to Buck's relationship would play out throughout the entirety of 8a and concluded that 1) Tim was lying to throw us off or 2) Tim changed his mind because he doesn't like to put Baby (Eddie) in a corner.

If 1) is the answer, then it was only a partial lie. Eddie wasn't left out in his friendship with Buck, but he has been left out in his relationship with his son. If 2) is the answer, then Tim changed course to make it more believable. Eddie has more chemistry with Tommy than Buck does in 8x1 and more chemistry with Buck than Tommy does in 8x5. We'd have to buy Buck and Tommy as wildly passionate about each other as opposed to them both picturing Eddie's face when they get down. I sure don't buy it.

Eddie has been the third-wheel in Buck's relationship before. When Buck and Taylor were "just friends" in the treasure hunt episode, they left Eddie out of some of the planning stage. But even that felt like Eddie and Buck were together, and Taylor was a threat to their relationship. In fact, Taylor was more or less the third wheel when Eddie prepared dinner for them after he left the 118. We didn't really see Buck third-wheel with Eddie, but the show does frame him as Eddie's real partner when he's in a relationship. A couple examples are the camera sliding over Anna to show Eddie and Buck meet each other's eyes when Eddie wakes up after the shooting and Eddie dropping Chris off at Buck's to hang out with Kim behind Buck's back.

A bit of a tangent here, but I really love the development we've received for Eddie so far. I want to say it's been subtle, but it hasn't been. The show has been telling us loud and clear; Eddie misses his baby and feels iced out. Eddie is competent and great at his job. Eddie and his best friend love each other. Eddie is punishing himself. Eddie is finding joy. Although his scenes are brief, they've all been impactful and so much fun.

[schneebies]

Yeah I think Tim had a few story threads for 8A that could've gone down path A vs. path B that he simplified possibly because the juice wasn't worth the squeeze? They were also setting up more tension between Hen and Chim over Mara gelling with the Hans so well, but that ended about as early as it started. I also think at a given point they just wanted to minimize Tommy's scenes to the essentials leading into the breakup and I'll never fault them for that lol.

It's exactly right that up until this point, Eddie has never forced himself to sacrifice Buck even when he gets into this self-punishing mode where he tries to purge all things good in his life. And I think that's good writing because it follows through on how intense and personal their falling out over the lawsuit in Season 3 was. That was the milestone where they each realized how important their relationship was, and naturally they've clung tighter to it since. Every strain and test on their relationship since then just keeps playing on that theme. But also, so many of them involved external circumstances preying upon them. It's never been, "I'm going to take myself away from you." Even when Eddie quit the 118, they found their way into each other's lives where and when they could.

Eddie's little flashback montage in Eddie Begins was about affirming the life/family he chose in LA, but it feels like that's about to get even more real and undeniable for him. And Eddie's life is just better in LA! He's happier. *Chris* is happier. They have their home and little family. And they have Buck, who wants to be a part of it. And how urgent is that going to feel when he walks away from El Paso, again, this time? I loved how they set up in 5B and then in 8x06 that Buck is Eddie's usual last stop before crossing back into El Paso both physically and mentally. It's like Buck can't coexist with it. Just like Eddie's joy can't. We're hopefully about to find out how true that is.

[erlie]

I swear to god I started this days before the S08E08.

But I do love being correct about them calling each other. And Buck dumping pastries on Eddie.

Shout out to @fraddit, who has compiled an amazing reference set for Eddie's house, which I didn't end up using as much as I thought, except for the outside.
