HERE’S THE FUNNIEST TWEETS I’VE SEEN SO FAR BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES TO SEE THEM
Honestly, understandable if none of the 118 think anything is up with freak4freak buckandeddie. Because they’re literally all freak4freak, canonically committing war crimes for each other.
I don't often do this, because I try to avoid discourse in fandom and sometimes you just don't vibe with a character. It happens.
But I keep seeing these horrible and, quite frankly, very wrong and disrespectful takes on Eddie Diaz' character. And I can't just sit here and ignore them anymore.
I cannot and will never understand why people don't like Eddie.
I've read some posts and comments earlier about people disliking Eddie and... really? Eddie is boring? He doesn't get interesting storylines? He's just a prop for Buck and his storylines?
Are we watching the same show here?
Eddie is, by far, one of the most interesting characters on 911. The man has had one trauma after the other piled up on him, but still he keeps going. Why? Because of the one thing that matters more to him than life itself: Christopher.
As a single mother myself, I can relate. The struggle to want to give your child everything, to do everything for them, even if it comes at the cost of your own mental and emotional well-being? It is very real. I cannot tell you how many times I end up crying to myself at night, blaming myself because I wasn't able to stop the outside world from hurting my son. And you have to do it all by yourself as well. There is no one there to share the burden with, to share the heartache with. It's tough and it's real.
Eddie's storylines are intricate and nuanced and based in reality. They aren't necessarily the biggest and loudest storylines, but they still matter to people who can relate to him. People like me.
Now, 911 is guilty of showing a lot of important Eddie moments from someone else's point of view. That is true. Especially Buck's POV. The shooting comes to mind, even a part of his breakdown and more recently Eddie's friendship with Tommy. He made a bro-friend and seemed so happy and carefree, but since we saw it from Buck's POV, we can't fully trust this image.
So, I think that is why some people see him as just a prop in Buck's story. But it's much more complex than that. Buck stepped inside Eddie's world without complaint. He helped him out from day one by introducing Eddie to Carla. For the first time, Eddie is no longer alone in life. There is someone there who understands him and his love for Chris. He can safely rest and trust that Buck will be there to step in if necessary. He actually went ahead and put it in his will. Eddie loves the way that Buck loves his son. And the show is still using that bond to date. We saw Buck and Eddie in conversation about Chris, Buck talking to Chris, Buck being jealous of Chris thinking Tommy was cool...
I don't know what the future will bring for Eddie, but I desperately want and need him to be happy. And yes, I do think the narrative will eventually lead him to Buck. His happiness has always been intricatelly linked to Christopher. The way they keep weaving in Christopher in Buck's storyline? The way Eddie keeps being inserted in Buck's bisexuality storyline? These are some of the many reasons that give me absolute certainty that Buddie is in the works.
In conclusion? Just stop hating on Eddie Diaz folks. It's not a good look on you.
Arthur: *looking towards the trees*
Lancelot: Something interesting sire?
Arthur: *coughing* Oh, nothing, I'm just...bird watching.
Gwaine, popping up between Lancelot and Leon: Really? Must be one heck of a bird to have your attention.
Arthur: *nervous laughter*
Merlin, skipping gaily towards them: Arthur! I mean, sire, look! *holds up a cat* isn't she cute?
Gwaine sharing a knowing look with Leon and Lancelot: Ah, I see now. Yes, definitely a "bird." A very pretty one in fact.
Leon: Exquisite taste, sire. You've picked a fine specimen to watch.
Lancelot: *nodding*
Arthur: *flustered* Shut. Up. And you and your cat shut up as well Merlin!
Merlin and the cat: *both confused*
Merlin: What? What did we do!?
The cat: Meow!?(I literally said nothing, this is discrimination man!?)
If Charlie is Merlin and Nick is Arthur then Darcy is Gwaine, thanks
If you're not gonna be honest with Frank, at least be honest with me!

The fact that David Tennant could have asked for the opening skit to be all about Dr. Who (allegedly his most broadly known work and also the most recently aired) and bring Catherine Tate or any other celebrity friend as his guest star…
Yet he still chose to do it about a very niche work like Staged, prominently featuring Michael Sheen, while subjecting the entire industry (not just Britain media) to their weirdly intimate dynamic…
Just wow. Power move. They’re a set, do not separate.
