Babe wake up, new reaction pic just dropped pt 2
It’s me 🤣 I’ve never seen an episode but I have watched many a Buddie video on YouTube and am so happy for the fandom 🙌🏻
Me being happy that one of the firefighters on the firefighter show is finally canonically Bi despite never watching a single episode:

So maybe I'm just reading too much into this, but at the end of the episode when Buck was talking to Taylor, and she asked if Mitchell got to see his kid i was expecting him to say something along the lines of how he got to save him. But we know from earlier in the episode that Mitchell didn't want his kid to know that the heart was from him. So I wonder if Buck didn't tell Taylor about it because he didn't trust her not to report it.
anyway something to consider as you are circling back to write another post - lawsuit specific fic ---- as it is the one thing the fandom will reliably fall back on ---- and that is how the fandom is generally very good at acknowledging one character’s trauma to the detriment of other existing traumas.
first and foremost being that these are all emergency responders, and as such are all probably suffering from moral injury in conjunction with their PTSD --- few first responders escape without one or the other, and often both. first responders don’t get adequate time or resources to recover from one individual trauma, let alone each and every that they have to deal with, and they have to deal with a lot, and to little resolution. it’s a lot for anyone’s emotional bucket to hold. what’s more ( and more important in this context ) than that, the other members of the 118 each have their own trauma to contend with, unrelated to the job, that plays into this situation specifically: Bobby, with the deaths of his family; Hen, who was abandoned by her father & who has mentioned difficulties in being raised by a single mother; Chim, who was abandoned by his father & who watched his mother die of cancer, as well as the loss of Kevin; Eddie, who has an emotionally complicated relationship with his own parents & an estranged wife he watched die.
the point: they’ve all got their own compounded traumas, and specifically all have issues revolving around family & abandonment, and that lends to decisions regarding behavior around those they consider family and situations they might consider abandonment. there’s not an inherently proper way to respond to these circumstances. ( also, this idea that the team just abandoned Buck to his recovery isn’t necessarily true, it’s got more to do with what they’ve chosen to show us on screen, and the reality of that is they focused on Eddie visiting Buck as a lead in to the tsunami arc as well as to affirm the intimacy of their friendship rather than, i think, a deliberate point at making the rest of the team seem like they don’t give a shit. )
it also needs to be taken into consideration that in the episodes themselves, the team doesn’t just abandon or decide to take out their problems on Buck, despite the way it’s often portrayed by fandom. Hen reaches out to Buck of her own accord, and Chim makes jabs at Bobby for the way he’s handling his feelings regarding Buck’s accident & resultant complications. as for Eddie, he’s not reaching out specifically because of the lawsuit --- he was told that he couldn’t, and so he doesn’t even though it’s implied he wanted to, and this is on top of all of the compounded trauma in his personal life that he isn’t properly dealing with ( which is another thing entirely, and we all collectively know he’s not appropriately dealing with it but that really isn’t anyone but Eddie’s fault at any point, either. ) Bobby himself is reacting because he’s still trying to parse out his own guilt, both for the ladder truck bombing specifically, but also at his issues with the loss of his wife & kids, to which he also still feels responsible. it’s not often considered his perspective of fear of losing someone else he was supposed to protect --- and while i will tend to agree it was something of an overreach, and it’s something that would have been solved with real actual communication, something these people tend to lack in earnest, it doesn’t make it less of a trauma fueled reaction, same as Buck’s, but he’s given less leeway for it because it’s not considered a favorable trauma response ( and it’s not considered favorable because it doesn’t work in favor of the fandom’s favorite, to be frank. ) never at any point is it implied that any of these people are harassing Buck after he comes back, or ignoring him out of malice, and frankly, anyone outside of the immediate group that we recognize as the core 118 kind of has a right to be distant with the man that they don’t necessarily know on an intimate level anyway, especially after he just sued the department and they have no context for the situation.
and it’s not that Buck’s trauma doesn’t absolutely take a part in his decision to file the lawsuit, because it’s very much that response driving his impulsive decision, but it’s often enough not taken into consideration how everyone else’s trauma plays into their response to his filing. a majority of the time, these fics tend to be from the perspective of feeling bad for Buck and demonizing the team, when realistically the perspective needs to be somewhere in the middle because it’s not a clean cut situation. the fandom hyper - sympathizes with ( read: tends to woobify ) Buck without taking into consideration that he is an unreliable narrator inherently, and that just because he feels a certain way doesn’t make it the reality of the situation.
everyone keeps making fun of eddie’s little wave to christopher as he sends him off to camp but i need u to know that that is the way christopher waves to him and he’s just mimicking that wave in a way that has probably become habitual in regards to his son and that is the most dad thing ever it’s just a dad wave be nice to him thank u
this heatwave better mean the resurgence of eddie diaz's slutty tank tops.
911 was like we have to give eddie another health scare because we remembered we didn't actually significantly include his girlfriend in the last one and we understand now that might have been misconstrued as us not remembering he had a girlfriend
what’s infinitely funnier to me than eddie diaz not being able to cook is that realistically he’s the ‘we have chicken nuggets at home’ dad and the chicken nuggets at home aren’t the same they’re not as good they’re missing the vibe and in the way that small children do this is absolutely unacceptable and now eddie has been deemed a lifelong pariah because he made some tyson nuggets for dinner one fucking time and christopher will absolutely not let it go
i mean maybe the man is just really emotional about the baseball season finally starting
eddie diaz lookin like that montage from spongebob

also, this will rustle some jimmies based on fanfic rolling out, but: eddie actually doesn’t have the right to be mad at buck for making the decision he did! the will is a letter of trust, not a letter of intent. ‘i trust you above all else to take care of my child in the event i am not there to do it’ is not actually the same as ‘i want you to be in an active parental role while i am here’. if you’re not actually establishing any boundaries or intentions you can’t get upset with people for not being able to fully determine them. eddie being upset bc buck hasn’t fully grasped the emotional consequences of his actions is valid! eddie being mad bc “““but ur already raising a son””” like buck is supposed to be able to flesh out an unestablished intention is not actually valid! there’s nuance to the idea of being internally upset about circumstances and that bleeding through into frustration. eddie has been much more emotionally self aware of late and it needs to be respected lmao

High achiever, don't you see?

Baby, nothing comes for free

They say I'm a control freak

Driven by a greed to succeed

Nobody can stop me

'Cause it's my problem if I wanna pack up and run away


It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway

It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide

And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die

Eddie Diaz × Evan "Buck" Buckley










"Cause you've got me and you know
That I've got you and I know
If the tide takes California
I'm so glad I got to hold ya
And if the sky falls from Heaven above
Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love
We've been livin' on a fault line
And for a while, you were all mine
I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart
I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart
'Til forever falls apart"
