Buck & Eddie: They're Soulmates!

Buck and Eddie share a once in a lifetime love of each other's lives type of love that transcends space and time.

The love they share is not platonic, it's romantic and the natural chemistry they have is OFF THE CHARTS.

There are people who wish they could have one tenth of the love they share with each other and that's why over the years, the show has made it a point to highlight and compare their love interests against the other one as a way to prove Buck and Eddie are meant for each other.

Therefore, can it once and for all be acknowledged that the possible reason why NONE of Buck’s previous relationships with AC, AM, TK and ND never worked was because THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO?

The same goes for Eddie because NONE of his relationships ever worked either including the one he had with Chris' mother. SD, AF and now M (who the show still hasn't given a last name and that speaks volumes as to how long she'll possibly be around) didn’t or won't work for Eddie because THEY WEREN'T/AREN'T SUPPOSED TOO EITHER?

It's interesting to see all these takes on how some people view their previous relationships with those women through rose colored glasses and saying things like they could have been great if... (_______ fill in the blank with whatever randomness you'd like). The point is they weren't meant to be anything but a placeholder until Buddie goes CANON.

Buck

There have been so many takes on Buck and TK being perfect because they were cute together but did everyone who thinks that forget she was willing to throw the 118 and their captain under the bus in 2x6? Don't even try to rebutt it with logic from that fake redemption arc that was included in 5x7 for her because in 5x17 she ultimately accomplished her goal by doing exactly what she intended four years earlier when she broke a promise she made to Buck and ran with the Jonah story then wrote a raggedy book about it exactly one year later in 6x17. It's true that Buck knew who she was but he still dated her (which speaks more to his poor decision making than hers) but they both knew it was wrong from the start. They were never going to work and they were never FRIENDS. Friends don't treat each other like $hit so they can get their way then expect for you to just be ok with it and follow it up with a half @ssed apology like, "I'm sorry you're still upset about the story" 🙄. With friends like that, Buck doesn't need enemies.

AC literally ABANDONED him but there are still people who think she would have been good for him. It appears they forgot she FOUND a man with two kids in another country and in 3x18 she came back two years later to rub Buck’s face in it. She didn't even have the decency to apologize to him.

AM was the worst of all because SHE WAS NEVER THERE WHEN BUCK NEEDED HER. Was she nice, yes but she didn't know him at all and when his leg got crushed by the ladder truck in 2x18, she dipped and ABANDONED him too. But for some reason, she's being heralded as his best relationship ever which is so far from the truth it's funny sad not funny haha. She left him in his loft with a cast on his leg because she didn't know what she wanted.

ND was/is only interested in Buck because he DIED! THAT'S IT! There's nothing else to the story. She clearly COULDN'T SEE HIM because they only knew each other for two seconds so please stop romanticizing their hookup like it was some "Gone with the Wind" love story because that's a bunch of BS since they didn't and still don't know each other.

Eddie

SD was NOT the perfect wife and mother people who wanted her to stick around and coparent Chris with Eddie have made her out to be. The show clearly retconned her character in 6x15 like she was so young and she didn't deserve to die but be clear, the relationship she had with Eddie was toxic as F%ck! All they did was argue and instead of talking, they had sex. They didn't communicate and when she was ready to leave again, she thought she would have time to come back and be "someone's wife and someone's mother" (her words but notice she didn't say Chris' mother or Eddie's wife, she said someone's) but her time ran out and she didn't get the chance, hence the title of the episode she died in, "Careful what you wish for". Trust and believe she had a lot of faults and Eddie did too but her being young wasn't an excuse for her leaving Chris and not contacting him for almost 2 years. If Eddie wouldn't have contacted her about her interviewing at Durand, would she have ever come back? Who knows but probably not since she was out there living her best life like she didn't have a kid.

AF was nice but just because her and Eddie were cute together, it doesn't mean they were soulmates. Did the people rooting for them to stay together even realize that she was Chris' schoolteacher in 3x12 but she DIDN'T OFFER EDDIE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO HELP CHRIS SKATEBOARD? That was literally her job but she was career driven which isn't a bad thing but it seemed like she was in love with the idea of being in love just like Eddie was. She was trying to avoid dealing with the issues that were prevalent in their relationship and she didn't even ask Eddie about his panic attacks to try and find out what was causing them. But she did throw them in his face when he broke up with her.

M is IN LOVE WITH HER BROTHER! It was clear she was in 6x5 when she almost kissed him on the mouth while they were in the ambulance. Also, she's a loner, hence the meaning of her name, Marisol, it literally means solitude. When Eddie met her, she was doing upgrades on her home by herself until her brother showed up and made a complete mess of things. If Eddie does try to pursue something formidable with her in season 7, everyone knows how it will end because EDDIE TOLD THE AUDIENCE IN 6X14... he'll be performing and trying not to panic and his performance anxiety will be at a level 100.

Buddie

Who's never left Buck? EDDIE!

Who loves both Eddie and Chris? BUCK!

Who takes care of Buck? EDDIE!

Who listens to Eddie? BUCK!

The list can go on and on but the point of this post is for those who chose to see what they want to see instead of what 9-1-1 has CLEARLY been depicting for Buck and Eddie over the past six years. None of Buck’s or Eddie’s love interests were written to work because they weren't/aren't supposed to.

No one has natural chemistry with them like they have with each other and it's written that way on PURPOSE!

while I'm still being mad about the Shannon retconning, I'm also going to point out that Eddie was a teen dad who joined the military to support his family (and I am really struggling not to go off on a tangent about the military deliberately preying on young black and brown men in such circumstances) and which provided his disabled kid very good health insurance, while Shannon bounced in the middle of the night and proceeded to ghost her own child for years while also NOT PAYING FUCKING CHILD SUPPORT

if she'd just left Eddie because he was a crap husband, I'd be on her side. but what she did was ghost her child for years while also leaving him in financial and legal limbo

but she was So Young 😭😭😭 and having a disabled child must be So Overwhelming 😭😭😭🤡🤡🤡

uh huh you know what must be actually traumatizing? being four years old and wondering why Mommy hates him so much she won't talk to him

Christopher gets to have complicated feelings about her and frankly, I think letting him be mad at her is good and I hope they let him stay mad longer than a minute

the rest of y'all need to stop simping for a deadbeat ableist

My 911 hills I will die on:

Eddie Diaz is gay

Buck has ADHD- the writers could come knocking on my door and tell me that he’s not and I still would argue with them with a PowerPoint and everything

The Buckley parents deserve to go straight to hell and their redemption arc makes me foam at the mouth (negative)

More on that: the insistence of a show that is so deeply rooted in the concept of found family to constantly give shitty parents redemption arcs is so irritating

Maddie Buckley didn’t raise buck since she was 9 years old while dealing with her own trauma or give him her jeep and money (AKA HER LITERAL SAFETY NET TO ESCAPE HER ABUSER) just so people can sit there and call her a bad sister -I’m a Maddie Buckley defender and I stand by that

Both sides were flawed with the lawsuit thing and neither should be too harshly judged- Bobby kept buck out when buck already proved himself but he was doing it out of protectiveness in his own flawed way because let’s be honest he just saw the guy he considers a son nearly die in front of him three times in one year and saw the PT and toll it all took through the whole process and keep in mind he’s already lost 2 kids already but buck also shouldn’t have sued impulsively or disclosed such intimate information and should’ve tried to take a more rational approach but let’s also be fair and remember this is the guy THAT DID GO THROUGH ALL THOSE THINGS IN THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME like no one would be okay mentally, no one would be rational, not when you spend a shit ton of time to recover only to be told (in his brain at least) that it’s not enough from someone you not only consider as a mentor, friend and father figure but also the same person who was motivating you through your recovery

The way Shannon spoke about Christopher’s cerebral palsy will never not rub me the wrong way I’m sorry to any who love her

The way Natalia spoke about bucks death is also just a no from me

I actually hated the whole thing with Hen and the madney engagement like idk why the writing felt it was appropriate to try to compare Hen CHEATING (granted it was ooc and in season one) with Maddie suffering postpartum depression make it make sense- they could’ve had the same level of hen and chimney friendship moment/ hen looking out for him without doing this type of thing which just made me a little angry with hen while watching it but ultimately deciding this storyline doesnt exist in my brain

Some folks out there (in 2024) still believing Buck and Shannon would be "besties" if Shannon had lived.

I-

HUH???????

Sure Buck would be civil with Shannon, especially for Chris and Eddie's sake, but why would Buck, the guy with *gestures at his history of abandonment*, want to be best friends with a woman who abandoned both Chris and Eddie, but especially Chris?????

Eddie may have forgiven Shannon, but he was never able to fully trust her again. And also keep in mind that Eddie's point of view and general thoughts are skewed and biased. He thinks he abandoned Shannon and Chris first, so in his mind he thinks he's just as bad. I'm soooo curious if Eddie ever or will ever talk about this stuff with a therapist.

Part of my point is idk if Eddie has ever thought about it all more realistically and objectively. In a sense Eddie "abandoned" Shannon and Chris, HOWEVER, he sure as hell still kept in contact in war zones. He still came home to visit when he could. And while Eddie's parents probably weren't great at the time, Shannon still had the help from Eddie's family while he was away.

Shannon on the other had straight up abandoned Eddie and Chris. Zero contact for close to three years. Who the hell knows if she'd ever have reached out if Eddie didn't have to reach out first for Chris's school.

One of these things is not like the other.

*flaps hand* Idk, I think people mistake Buck's capacity for kindness and giving people a chance, this blanket idea that he could never dislike someone or something? (let's for the moment ignore the poorly handled storyline of Buck "letting go of his very reasonable issues" with his parents to start fresh or whatever.)

We'll never know what would have happened. Nevertheless, IF the show had kept Shannon alive and had her and Buck become "besties," then that would have been a poor character choice on the writers part. It would have gone against Bucks character.

#9-1-1 #Shannon Diaz critical #anti Shannon Diaz #Evan Buckley #I doubt any people who are positive about Shannon #will see or interact with this post #but just in case: don't #if you want to make some defense for her #please do it on your own post #I'll never like her and I just don't #care or want to hear any 'in defense' for her #ramblings

with Shannon being brought up again i am begging the 911 fandom to listen to disabled people when discussing her

#the fandom likes to try to redeem shannon #or even defend her #but she was a HORRIBLE parent #her personality consisted of ableism and playing the victim #which i’ve seen disabled people try to talk about on here for years #but every time a disabled person shares their thoughts about shannon they get hate #which is so fucked up #we’re the ones you should be listening to #tv: 911 #911 abc #911 fox #shannon diaz #anti shannon diaz

here's the thing about shannon diaz

she shouldnt have died because she didnt deserve that but i still dont like her

sure eddie said he did the same thing as she did by running to join the military but...were they same?

its not like eddie left in the middle of the night with only a note left behind and then just...didnt contact them for like 2 years! I mean, we saw him facetiming as much as he could in an active warzone and we know he did everything to get back to chris!

but here's the thing: shannon did! she left without any word in the middle of the night!

i think its fine that she left eddie, in fact good for her for leaving his ass because i just know he never stood up for her to his overbearing parents and she 100% deserved better

But its the way she left christopher with only a note for when he was older and then went zero contact for however long and i firmly believe if eddie hadn't reached out to her first she would never have tried to contact christopher and that's just unforgivable to me

you can, and should, leave your spouse if it isnt working out, but to leave your kid completely behind without a word? thats horrifying to me

#like thats your kid! they didnt ask to be born! but they're here and they're responsiblity for the REST OF YOUR LIFE #911 abc #anti shannon diaz #i keep seeing all this stuff for her and yeah shes a great character but i still wont forgive her #i dont care that eddie forgave her #if my mom left without a fucking note and then ghosted me and only came into my life because she had no choice and felt guilty? yeah no #i take a hard stance to that but it could be because my mom literally will never call me or make the effort in our relationship #im a grown ass adult and that shit stings i just know it's devastating when your a kid when your mom just ignores you #although my parental issues are more in line with bucks in that my parents just ignored me for most of my life

oh your tags on that one post are EVERYTHING:

#you want to love your child from a distance you do that by sending birthday and christmas cards #and sending letters and maybe having phone calls #you don't do it by cutting the child out of your life #and then making it all about yourself

like loving your kid from a distance doesn't mean much if they don't know about it. i was always annoyed about her lines about "maybe you've adapted to life without me, i hope for that and fear it" or whatever the exact lines were. like that is so freaking self centered and of course it's ok to feel that way but don't put it in the letter to your kid!

Hiiiiiiiiiiii *waves from 3 weeks down the line* Look what I found in my inbox that i forget to check especially now that my app is refusing to work at most things. ANYWAY. Yeah, I was confused when everyone was ooohhing about how sweet that letter was because to me it just felt so manipulative and a way to shift blame. I know I put in the tags of another great post about this the other day that Shannon needing time is understandable and needing to go be with her mom is understandable but cutting off ALL contact?? With her child??? Did she bar her mom from contacting her grandson?? Did her mom call and Chris and Eddie had to wonder why Shannon refused to speak to them? How many birthdays and holidays went by before they stopped checking the mailbox for a card? Did Shannon's mom still send cards and like the phone calls did they hope to see Shannon's name in them only to be disappointed she couldn't even sign a card for her child?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I actually liked the arc in s2 because it paints SUCH a contrasting picture of a) Shannon and Eddie as parents, b) Eddie's trust in Shannon vs his trust in Buck with Chris, c) Shannon and Buck as co-parents, and d) Shannon and Buck as partners to Eddie. We get a LOT of milage out of just a few scenes! And an underrated moment, I think, is seeing that Eddie has abuela chaperoneing Shannon and Chris. But in season 3 we see Eddie being perfectly fine leaving Chris alone with Buck, including AFTER the tsunami. It speaks volumes to me!

And all of that is why I SO dislike the retconning KR tried to pull in s6, and I really hope we get to see more than just that letter "fixing" things for Chris. He's getting older now and I would love to see him and Eddie having some hard talks about what happened and how they both felt and working through some of that together. Maybe even some family therapy with them! Tim has so far been doing a good job of getting the show back on the rails and righting some wrongs ("I don't know what I was thinking dating a death doula" still cracks me up) and I would love if this is one of those things.

Thanks for stopping by! Sorry I am Bad At Tumblr Friends

It's always sad to think about that Eddie also hasn't ever felt real love, whether be it from his parents or his partner. It was clear that his parents and Shannon made him feel like he wasn't good enough. When she came back to LA, he was good enough for a hook-up, but then she presented him with a divorce. I don't think he would have married her if his parents hadn't forced him because she was pregnant. He could never do things his own way. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

Hi Nonnie! Thank you so much for this ask.

TBH, Shannon is someone who I’m very ambivalent about. I don’t think she was a bad person. See, in Texas I can understand why she left. I may not agree with her leaving or how she did it, the fact that she didn’t even tell Eddie she‘s thinking about it, or the way she cut off Chris when she left his dad, but I can understand why she was unhappy and feeling suffocated. I can understand making bad choices when life keeps throwing difficulties at you for so long, you don’t necessarily think straight anymore. I also assume she didn’t mean to leave Eddie himself. It seemed more like she wanted to leave the package that surrounded being married to him.

So years later, she’s in LA and Eddie contacts her. He’s moved there and all of a sudden, being with him doesn’t necessarily come with that entire package Shannon couldn’t deal with before. I don’t believe she had any concrete plan in mind when she came to meet him in 207, but that once she saw him, she couldn’t just walk out again. He’s furious with her for abandoning them, but by the end of that ep, he comes to understand her and they kiss. Is she forgiven? No. Her betrayal was too great and Eddie doesn’t feel reassured yet that she won’t walk out on them again. So he keeps her from seeing Chris. What gets to me is that in 210, Shannon indicates her and Eddie had been sleeping together for almost two months before she puts her foot down and insists on seeing her son. I have to admit, that one always rubbed me the wrong way. If she had been that loving and repentant mother, I don’t think she could have taken being so close to Chris without seeing him for that long. Especially not after she previously claimed to be focused on being reunited with her son.

Then Eddie agrees to reunite their family by the end of that Xmas ep, and she has both him and Chris, but no commitment. She seems to be pushing in that direction in 217, asking Eddie what they are, and telling him she might be pregnant again. Just like you said, he implies that they first married not because he wanted to, but because of her pregnancy. Then, at the restaurant, Eddie takes the final leap with her, after he let her back in on every other level, and is ready to re-commit. But Shannon doesn’t want to. She got everything back, but just as Eddie feared, she now wants to leave them again. I think in all that time she took away from them, she never really figured out what she wanted, which is why she’s so all over the place. She wants her son, but she’s okay just sleeping with her dad. She wants Eddie, but she breaks up with him the second he’s truly ready for her. She begs to be forgiven for having left, but then she does the same thing again. I think she was so thoroughly confused, she just couldn’t make coherent decisions.

Here’s the thing. That’s not a reflection on Eddie and how lovable he is, but when he was already carrying the baggage of how little he felt accepted and loved by his parents, especially his dad, this is exactly how he interpreted Shannon’s rejection. And it breaks my heart. The fact that she didn’t just leave, she died, means he could never hope to one day work things out with her, get to a place of being friendly exes and co-parents. Some things in life are final and can’t be fixed. That’s why I’m extra happy that he and Ramon are working things out and building a better r/s. That’s Eddie’s core trauma, and with it healing, that can allow him to revisit other ones and find better, kinder interpretations for them as well.

And of course, he has Buck now. Buck’s the guy who fights for Eddie, to be by his side, to help him, to make things better for him. Eddie has never had that before, and it’s so full of love and grace, you can tell that affects everything. IDK how Eddie would have handled the aftermath of the shooting if Buck weren’t there. I’m convinced that Eddie can get along better with Ramon thanks in part to the support he’s had from Buck. I don’t think there are any love stories that get me more emotional than the ones where two people who’ve been deeply wronged help heal each other. And that’s what we have in Buddie.

Hope I managed to answer satisfactorily, and here’s my ask tag! xoxox

The worst sin Kristen committed with her 'redeem all the bad parents' thing, was bringing Shannon back up in season six. Wasn't just for some reason not having an older Chris questioning why his mom abandoned him and his dad bad enough? Or trying to tell us that Eddie and Chris picnic at this woman's grave, the same lady who after coming back into their lives and trying to . . . I don't even know just make things harder on Eddie before going nah don't wanna do this after lolz! Was gonna leave again.

Nah the worst sin KR committed was igniting the the talk about buck/Shannon/Eddie triads. So many posts about the three getting together and Shannon redemption/Shannon doesn't die. Nope she has to be around to prop up and promote buddie in the fic and also get both guys.

Also, I'm side eyeing the ones who in one post defend Shannon, almost viciously, but in another get on about how terrible Connor was. He was a parent experiencing cold feet, hadn't even nopped out of the relationship yet and abandoned his kid like Shannon had yet. And somehow he's the worst and Buck should totally raise the kid with Kamron as besties or something . . . and see that it's like what he does with Chris and Eddie and . . . . Kamron props up buddie.

Oh . . . oh I think I see a pattern. Ew.

#911 #anti shannon diaz #so very much anti shannon diaz #If this got anymore anti shannon diaz it might cross into character bashing #911 discourse #911 critical #cause oh god between the Buckleys getting the all clear to be parents #and the Hans being forgiven - which like fuck didn't Chimney's dad leave him in a whole other country?!?!

Buck & Eddie: Buck's role in Chris' life

The color gray (Eddie's first couch and the shirts Eddie, Buck and Chris have worn over the seasons) has been in play since season 2 and it appears it relates to the role of Chris' second parent or the person who's coparenting him with Eddie.

I think I found something else regarding the Buckley-Diaz Family's attire and it all has to do with the color gray.

Before I delve into this, please note these are my observations and interpretations and it's ok if someone doesn't agree. As I mentioned in my "15 Constructive Criticisms" posts, everyone interprets media differently and it's ok when two people don't agree because both ideas can coexist.

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming...

Last year, when I completed my couch META (linked here), I wondered why Eddie's first couch in season 2 was gray and it was replaced with a blue couch in season 3.

In 2x7, SD sat on Eddie's gray couch after he invited her over to discuss Chris' admittance into Durand.

But in 3x10, Chris was sitting in front of a blue couch while him, Buck and Denny made gingerbread houses and Eddie sat at the dining room table giving Buck huge heart eyes.

At the time I didn't think too much of it because I wasn't looking for a connection to anything except the couches and I didn't realize it plays a role with Chris' other parent or the person Eddie's coparenting him with until I noticed the color of Buck's shirts in season 6 when I completed several posts about him. The first one was about his "Looking for ANSWERS" uniform (linked here), another one involved his ill-fitting clothes (linked here), also I completed one about his search for happiness (linked here). Several weeks ago, I completed a post about how Chris was looking for Dad!Buck in Buck's coma dream (linked here). After I noticed the gray shirts that Buck wore in seasons 4-6, I got curious and started researching it.

IIRC, Eddie wore the first gray shirt in 3x10 while Buck and Chris were sitting on the floor making gingerbread houses with Denny.

Reminder, he was looking at Buck with their his son and he smiled and lowered his head. This HAPPENED AFTER THE KITCHEN SCENE in 3x9 (the night Eddie met Buck 1.0 linked here) but it was BEFORE he updated his will and named Buck to be Chris' legal guardian in 3x15. Another reminder, Eddie's couch in season 2 was gray and SD sat on it but after she died in 2x17 and the season ended, the gray couch was replaced with a blue one and it's the same one he has now. It's his family's couch, the family he chose and it's for him, Buck and Chris.

Here's a reminder from the kitchen scene in 3x9 just in case someone needs a reference.

In 4x8, Chris got upset and ran away to Buck's loft because Eddie started dating again. Buck was wearing a black and white jacket that looked gray due to the way the colors were blended together. While he was there, Buck promised him he wasn't going anywhere after Chris said everyone leaves.

As the season progressed, Buck wore more gray ESPECIALLY IN 4x13 AND 4x14 WHEN HE WAS AT THE SHOOTING AND WHILE HE WAS TAKING CARE OF CHRIS.

In 4x13, his shirt was white with gray stripes and his pants were gray.

In 4x14, while he was taking care of Chris, his hoodie was light gray not white and Chris will be wearing a similar one at the end of season 6 but I'll circle back to that.

In 5x10, Buck was wearing a dark gray jacket and this is the only time him and Chris were shown in CANON together during that episode. Three reminders, first Eddie talked to Buck about Chris' nightmare that he had about SD when they were at the firehouse. This is important because before 5x10, Buck spent Christmas with Eddie and Chris in 2x10 and 3x10 (there wasn't a Christmas episode in season 4). Second, this was the day Eddie announced he was leaving the 118 and third Buck was dating TK.

In 5x13, Buck was wearing a white shirt with gray stripes and it's similar to the one he wore the day of the shooting. Why is his shirt important? It's important because later in the episode his son Chris called him because something was wrong with Eddie. After Buck answered the call, Chris said, "Buck! Something's wrong with dad!" It was just like 4x13 when something was wrong with Eddie after he had been shot. Chris called his other parent. He didn't call Pepa, Isabel or 9-1-1.

In 5x14, Buck was wearing another gray shirt which is almost exactly the style shirt Chris will be wearing in season 7. Reminder, while Eddie was in therapy, Buck was caring for Chris the same way he did in 4x14 but this time Buck was in a relationship and Eddie wasn't. Also, Chris wasn't questioning Buck's role in his life because Buck was there taking care of him while Eddie was getting better.

In 5x17, Buck was wearing another gray shirt while he was sitting in Chris' room with Eddie as Eddie packed Chris' suitcase. Buck was in a relationship then too but Eddie wasn't.

In 6x1, Buck's and Chris' shirts were blue, gray and white. They were different styles but they had the same colors. This is the scene when Eddie and Chris joked with Buck about him not having a couch (relationship/family) when in actuality he did because it was with them.

At the end of 6x1, Buck was in another white shirt with gray stripes but the stripes were bigger than they were in 4x13 and 5x13. Reminder, this is when he began his search for a couch, family happiness, basically it was the time he started taking inventory of his life like Bobby suggested and well... everyone who watched 6x18 knows how it ended with him making the same mistakes.

In 6x12, Buck was wearing all gray and he went to Eddie's house because he couldn't get any rest at the loft. He fell asleep on his family's couch while Eddie was in the kitchen. Also, notice how Eddie's preparing their son's Chris' lunch when Buck enters the kitchen. They're coparents.

In 6x13, Buck was wearing a different gray sweater while he was baking cookies with Chris. This is significant for two reasons, reminder Chris was NOT shown baking muffins with AF but he was shown baking cookies with Buck. Also, Chris was wearing their family's color, navy-blue (posts linked here and here) which means he wasn't questioning Buck's role in his life as his other parent but Buck was still unsure because Eddie hasn't told him. After Buck laid out all his ingredients, he said doing that makes him feel like an actual chef ("dad") and Chris said that made him Buck's sous chef ("son").

In 6x15, while they were at SD's grave, Chris was wearing a gray and white striped hoodie underneath his blue jean jacket. This is important because it's when he started questioning the role of his other parent since SD is deceased and Eddie started dating again in 6x14. Reminder, Buck had just baked cookies with Chris in 6x13 and Eddie wasn't there.

In 6x18, Chris was wearing a green shirt underneath his gray hoodie (the same color shirt Eddie wore in 5x3 when he broke up with AF).

Why is any of this significant?

Well... if Chris' clothes are telling the story like they might be, then Eddie won't be with M long because Chris' clothes in 6x18 illustrate how he's not happy with Eddie dating again. They've already built a family with Buck and for Eddie to be dating someone Chris doesn't know (reminder he knew AF because she used to be his school teacher) then his comment about why Eddie was so bad at it was saying something different than his clothes.

At the end of the episode, I wondered why the show had him appear to be happy with Eddie dating again when he ran away to Buck the first time. The difference between the two times is Buck was single in 4x8 but by the end of season 6, Buck and Eddie were barely talking to each other again and Buck was doing whatever he was doing with ND while Eddie tried to ask M out on a date.

TM (showrunner) released the photo above a couple of weeks ago and please notice the shirt Chris is wearing is gray and it looks almost identical to the one Buck wore while he was in Chris' room with Eddie in 5x17.

Buck was wearing a gray hoodie in 4x14 and Chris was wearing one in 6x18. Eddie was dating AF in 4x14 but Buck was taking care of Eddie's heart, his son after the shooting. In 6x18, Buck was doing whatever the "F" he was doing with ND and Chris didn't have anyone to call since Eddie was trying to date M.

Please look at the pictures above. The one of Eddie is from 3x10 and the one of Buck is from 4x14. They're sitting in the same seat in the dining room and they're both wearing gray. It's the head of the table and while Eddie was in the hospital, Buck sat there. SD and AF never sat there and it's likely M won't either.

What could all of this mean?

If their clothes really are telling the story then Eddie might break up with M quickly since Chris is not happy. Should he be looking for someone for himself and following his heart like Carla said? Yes! But Eddie has a son too and whoever he dates has to want to be a coparent as well and so far the only person who fits that description is Buck.

I said it in my multi-chapter fanfic that I don't believe M wants to have kids. I think she's the opposite of AF because she doesn't look like the type who wants to bake cakes, cookies or muffins like AF did since she's a DIY'er. She was also doing the work on her own house which could mean she's not looking for someone (other than her brother) to help her do anything. She didn't want his help either.

In season 7, Buck's shirt shows he's looking for ANSWERS and Chris' shows he's looking for his other parent 👀.

It appears M will be in the way the same way AF was but the difference is based on the gray shirt Chris is wearing in the still from season 7, he might be questioning Buck's role in his life the same way Buck's been doing for the last three seasons. If he is then Eddie's the one who has to solidify Buck's role in their family.

If the color gray isn't significant, then why were all three of them wearing it?

my heart breaks for Chris but I'm not buying into this retconning of Shannon as not an ableist heifer who ghosted her child for years because his disability was too hard for her

My mom’s opinions on 911 so far:

• Loves loves loves Bobby and thinks his storyline is actually so heartbreaking

• hates Michael so much and thinks everything from the way he handled the divorce to the way he threw a temper tantrum at Bobby and said he’s no one’s dad was all asshole behaviour

• hated Shannon but was okay with her coming back and thought it would be good for the diazes before that dinner scene where she was like asking for a divorce, she hated Shannon for leaving and cutting all contact with her kid for two years and also she hated that the way she acted about Christopher’s CP (in regard to her acting like it’s this big regret of hers and like it was partly why she left)

• she loves Jennifer love Hewitt already but she also totally agreed with her making madney happen instead of Maddie and Eddie and was glad they went with that route instead

• I’d say the episode she most got into so far was Maddie and Doug episode, heist episode and the first episode

• she hated buck and Abby together and was grossed out by the age difference (when Bobby met Abby she was like THEYRE MORE SIMILAR IN AGE AND COULD BE A COUPLE THE WAITER AT BUCK AND ABBYS DATE PROBABLY THOUGHT SHE WAS HIS MOM)

•she liked the detail of Chris forgetting how many surgeries he’s had cos she was like that was so perfectly written for a kid character

• she hated the hen cheating storyline

Also side note but she keeps predicting stuff correctly which is honestly so slay🫡

I think they're probably just picking up their ages with how they've aged/grownup during the writers strike, since the actors were aging during those years, so we should probably be assuming Eddie+Buck are ~32 now and Eddie+Shannon had Christopher at like 19...which kinda tracks, though I'd have thought they were a bit older (no way they were in highschool though, since Eddie talks about coming home from a military tour once the baby (Christopher) is born in a flashback and 17-year-olds can't be in the military).

I hope you don't mind me answering this Nonny. I don't think you will?? But yeah, based on your other message, I can see how the math can possibly work out, although it's still a bit mind-fucky for sure. 🤙

Oh, I probably worded my post you're referring to wrong, but I meant that at the youngest Shannon got pregnant at 17, but would've given birth to Chris at 18. I have zero knowledge of how long military tours last (I do know you have to be 18 to even join the military), but again going with the *gestures* timeline you've laid out, yeah at the oldest Shannon was 19 when she had Chris.

I know the fandom is rather split on the, as I view it, retcon of sorts to age Shannon and Eddie down. Some people accept it, some don't, and some are "eh whatever" about it. And while it was never confirmed in canon how old Eddie is (until 6B), idk, I felt like there was enough clues to infer that he was 2-3 years older than Buck. And yeah, how old Ryan is irl was a factor of this.

I'm mixed on season 6 saying Shannon and Eddie are the same age and are younger that what I, and many others, originally thought. Part of me just thinks "...ok I guess." Another part of me is just, "but why and for what?" Now you don't have to think this, nor anyone, but to me, it all feels like another way for the show to give more sympathy points to Shannon (and Eddie in his own way). The show and Eddie (which I get) often have rose tinted glasses on when it comes Shannon.

Idk what your feelings on Shannon are Nonny, but uh, I'm not a fan of her. Yes she's and interesting character, and she's not unsympathetic, but in the end I still will not like a woman who abandoned her kid (in great part because she's ableist, lbr), came back because Eddie reached out for Chris, and then wanted to leave again before dying.

Circling back to the age thing. I already figured Shannon was maybe 22 or 21 when she had Chris, which is already young. Then the show says, "no no she was 18/19, which is extra sad." <-- That's just how it comes across to me anyway, the show trying to garner more sympathy for the woman who abandoned her kid.

Um. This definitely went places, but thank you for the math assist Nonny.
