Evan Buckley - Blog Posts

eddie diaz really spent a whole episode saying i told my son he can do anything he sets his mind to and i still want to believe that but as he grows up im so scared hes going to get hurt because he charges into untested situations so confidently. but i want him to keep believing in himself. and everyone around him said “hmm you should accept your son has limited options for his future and help him realize one of those safe and easy goals instead :)” and ONLY EVAN BUCKLEY said “thats STUPID chris CAN do anything everyone else shut the fuck up forever if youre just going to waste the vibes” and then he spent the rest of the episode offscreen building/buying christopher a massive accessible skateboarding rig and both eddie and christopher got to keep the power of belief in determination because he said nope. you two are right. keep going im right here with you

The guy’s a professional, Cap. I was never really worried.

I think Chimney should be the one to get Buddie to actually happen.

He did it with Hen and Karen and look at them now: married with two kids

This could be Buck and Eddie.

They already have the kid part down.

idk if i’m ready for buddie the anticipation has been too good

A little back posting because I definitely only found this event today \(^.^)/

To the world it was supposed to be a beautiful, cloudy Tuesday morning. To Eddie and Christopher, it was something completely different. The atmosphere felt heavy, and like gravity was pushing down on their lungs. Christopher had lost something, and it was so tangible that Eddie felt the melancholy of the moment.

They had both lost something, and Eddie, for the life of him, couldn't remember anything that he used to find comfort in. The way that Buck’s smile would crinkle in the corners of his eyes, and how light his laugh sounded. Most of the time it could be mistaken for a chorus flying on the wings of the Southeastern wind.

No matter how many people told him it was the wrong choice, he hadn’t left El Paso. He never went back to Los Angeles to rejoin the 118 firehouse. Now, it was too late, and everyone moved on. Everyone. Including.

Baby blue eyes that could smash any wall that Eddie had ever dreamed to build around his heart. But ten years later.

Ten years later, he was starting to lose touch.

Those crows feet around Buck’s eyes were softening out into a bleary view. His voice starting to fade into ether where Eddie knew he couldn’t follow. Some days Eddie had to pinch himself to remember that his name was Evan Buckley, not just the frat boy nickname he picked to be called. And Christopher. He knew that something was wrong.

They had moved during such a turbulent time that Eddie knew that Chris felt the empty space that’s only coincidentally Buck-shaped. A good parent, would make sure Buck doesn’t stay forgotten in his son’s mind—or a figment of his imagination. A heartbroken man, however, will continue to live in the fantasy his son created where they never lost their other half.

It was too late to call. Or, to try and re-forge the bonds he already threw away. 

He put his phone down, and tried to close his eyes. It’s better to just sleep away the pain before he could drown in it.

I like to think that during Buck’s first year at the 118, he was enthusiastically taking any shift he could because he loves being a firefighter and his real life is lonely.

Then one day, he comes into work and Bobby is just like, come with me. They get in Bobby’s car and he drops Buck off at his house, “If you keep going like this, you’re going to burn out. Take the time.”

And then a few hours later, the 118 comes back from a call and Buck is in the loft. Making a grilled cheese.

Bobby gives him a look like, what the hell. Buck’s eyes go wide and he asks genuinely, “You meant all day?”

🚨 9-1-1 S8 EP9 SPOILERS !! 🚨

the dog-coding of Buck in the newest episode was insane what are they cooking…

Hey so I try my hardest to avoid what ever is going on with the Flaming Homosexuals ( Eddie and Bucky ) but for my sake of understanding as I scroll past the posts at Mach 12, I have a couple questions:

They’re firemen, right? Do you guys call them Flaming Gays? Cause if not you’re really missing out with that one.

Which one of them is out as bisexual, and is the show still pretending the other one is straight?

This is really embarrassing but…what actually is the show’s name? Every time I’ve thought I knew the answer ( twice ) it turned out I was wrong.

You know I cannot get over the whole Will thing. But do you think that Buck knows what Eddie was really doing there in that moment???

Cause Eddie was literally handing Buck his heart, in the form of his son the most important thing in his life. But does Buck know that Eddie was handing him his still beating heart and telling him to be careful with it.

Or does Buck think that his just the backup. That Eddie was giving him everything he wants, the family he’s dreamed off, but with the condition that he loses the love of his life, the condition that Eddie dies. Do you think it hurts him to think that Eddie will only consider him good enough to parent Christopher if he’s gone? Or do you think it amazes him to know he’s trusted with Christopher when Eddies gone, over literally everyone else?

I just want them to talk about the Will and the shooting. Please…

I have a thought… I know we’re all pointing out how unpractical Buck’s armchair is… but what if he thinks that he only needs that one seat because he thinks he’s alone?? What if he thinks that ‘why should I get a couch if I’m the only person here?’ What if he thinks he’s gonna end up alone again so isn’t bothering with getting a couch??

Like what if he thinks he’s gonna be abandoned eventually so why build a life around people (118, Maddie, Eddie and Chris) if they are gonna leave eventually??

Like Buck, honey, you have a family and they aren’t going anywhere. The 118 aren’t gonna leave. Eddie and Christopher are definitely not going anywhere.

We know that.

But does he.

Or is he spiralling and thinking that it’s only a matter of time. So he’s getting himself use to the idea of being alone and trying to find purpose in his job, despite the fact he already has through his connections.

Real question. Do the 118 know about what happened to Buck and Christopher during the Tsunami?!!?!

Like they must know the basics, the pier, the fire truck, them being separated.

But do they know that Buck saved other people? Do they know that he played eye spy with Christopher to cheer him up? And turned him away from the dead bodies in the water? Do they know he walked for hours trying to find Christopher? That he was injured will looking for him?

More importantly does Eddie know?!?!!

Cause we see that Eddie thinks Buck lost Chris, but doesn’t blame him. But does he know that Buck jumped into the water after Chris something that was damn near suicide?! Does he know the lengths Buck went to try and get Christopher back to him?!!

Cause we never see them discuss this or mention it?!!

And I need them to discuss this. For Eddie to see that Buck will and always has gone to the extremes for Chris. I need Eddie to realise that he made the right choice in putting Buck in his will. I just… I want them to discuss this (not just Buck and Eddie but all the 118)

I think people forget the damage blimps can and have done in the past. Like those fuckers are gonna cause huge damage, especially in a football stadium (or soccer stadium for all Americans). Like yeah they are ‘air’ but that doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous.

So yeah a blimp disaster this season is gonna be major. Isolated, maybe. But still gonna do a lot of damage.

You know what shit I am a slut for Eddie calling Buck ‘Evan’ or even endearments in Spanish in fanfic.

I even wanna see it happen in the show more.

Like Buck has probably never heard anyone (aside from Maddie) use his name in a kind, loving way. Heaven knows his parents never did, they probably only said his name in anger, disappointment or hell even resentment.

But Eddie, he fucking used ‘Evan’ to tell him that he was the legal guardian of his son in his will. Eddie Diaz used ‘Evan’ in a way that was so important, so soft and loving when handing him the most important thing in his life, his son.

It’s just mind blowing.

You know what I find whack is that Eddie- doesn’t trust just anyone with his son-Diaz not only made his best friend, of not even a year, the legal guardian of his son should he die, but also said that ‘there was none else he’d trust with his son’.

Like what type of repressed BS is this!!

Eddie literally handed Buck his son, when he could barely trust Ana or Shannon (Christophers mother) with Chris but he trusted Buck after a few months of knowing him.

happy "buck has to take a breath before he tells eddie not to come back" to those who celebrate <3

someone tell me when they’re filming on location next!! i’ll work a trip to LA just to go see them im deadass

they wore a couples costume. and it was EDDIE’S idea!!

started watching 911 and tbh at first I really was like "ah it can't be that bad!!" about buck and eddie. it is. it is that bad. what do you mean they had a textbook rivalry to best friends arc. what do you mean buck is basically a second dad to christopher. what do you mean he would get legal guardianship of christopher because no one would fight for christopher like him. what do you mean hes living in eddies house. what is going on. why has buck looked at eddie like that from day fucking one what the shit

I was telling one of my friends that doesn't watch 9-1-1 about Bobby hand picking Eddie to be Buck's partner and how Buddie been raising a kid together for 8 years. My friend at the end of my little 911 lore drop goes "that's what some would call an arranged marriage."

we say Eddie baby trapped Buck but Bobby actually marriage trapped them both to each other.

let's talk about chrisbuck reunion. can we talk about chrisbuck reunion please? I've been dying to talk about chrisbuck reunion

buck in 2x01

imagining a world where eddie's sisters come to visit after he is back in LA. since eddie and chris are living with buck now, buck is getting nervous and offers to spend the week at maddie and chim's place so he is out of the way. eddie tells him No and shuts down the argument immediately. buck is spiraling because he needs adriana and sophia to like him, so he reverts to what he knows best.... eddie :). after his 5th story bragging about how great eddie is, adriana is like wait... we are still talking about our brother eddie, right? and buck sighs dreamily like, yeah, he's the best person i know. do you like poker? he is really good at it. and basketball! and muy thai.... and adriana and sophia are nodding in disbelief because all they know is loser eddie, and yet buck is acting like eddie personally hung each star in the sky by himself. they bring it up to eddie later like, dude, buck is OBSESSED with you. eddie just laughs. we are just Best Friends :). that's what Best Friends do. so sophia and adriana just nod slowly as they give each other Looks because their brother is literally the stupidest person on the planet.

EVAN BUCKLEY & BOBBY NASH

1.04 | 3.10 | 4.04 | 6.11 | 8.15

"thanks for doing this for me" "i'm doing it for chimney......... and you." vs "you really did that for me?" "yeah. yeah, you and christopher." this is not a fully formed thought but something about tommy initially negating buck's assumption that it was done out of love vs buck affirming to eddie that yes, i did do this for you and also for your son

Need a 911 fic where Buck hits his head and is disoriented and confused when he wakes up. He thinks him and Eddie are dating.

Not because he has an amnesia or anything, but because Ravi was the one helping jog his memory and nothing Ravi knows about the 118 is right.

i have talked about this before. but it is legitimately fucking insane to me that a guy gets shot. and because the guy is a single dad, his best friend steps up to take care of his kid and keep him on his schedule while his dad's in the hospital recovering, stays at his house and sleeps on the couch and takes the kid to school etc etc. normal! cool, normal, extremely generous, lovely best friend behavior. but then when the guy wakes up, the best friend says: i should have held it together better, i was really struggling and i broke down in front of your son, and i just think it would have been better for him if i had been the one to get shot. which – this is an objectively true statement. for anyone normal, yes; that is a gut punch of a sentiment, and it is heartbreaking to hear buck say it out loud, but it is objectively true for anyone normal that it would be better for a child if his dad's best friend got shot vs his only living parent getting shot. you know? like that is not an insane thing to say, even in the context of all of everything between them. but then the dad – AND THE NARRATIVE OF THE SHOW – says no actually, you're wrong. it wouldn't have been better. it would have been the same; it would have had the same effect on my son if you had been the one to get shot. you matter to me, and you matter to him, and you are an important enough part of both of our lives that i have you written into my living will. i have an advance directive that says, in the case of my death, i want you to gain custody of my son. you, my best friend, and not my own parents or my aunt or my grandmother or either of my sisters. you. and you stepping up like this proved that i was right. and I cannot stress enough how insane it is that not only do the characters believe this, but the ACTUAL NARRATIVE OF THE SHOW agrees with them and backs them up and says: this is the reality of the situation. like!!!!

If this is what they do. If this is what they do i might just forgive them.

Bobby's dead, and Eddie's only back because of it, and Buck's been living in his house, and they've both been so lonely, and they know they can lean on each other, and a loss like this is something they've never faced before they don't know how to face it.

And the funeral is beautiful, Athena and the kids keep it together better than the 118 ever could, and there's fucking Tommy, and Gerrard, and all the reasons Bobby's life was made hell before he died and it's too much.

Eddie keeps himself together until they get home and Buck finally allows himself to break. They don't know what to do, there's nothing they can do but comfort each other. The hug doesn't feel close enough, doesn't let them feel alive enough, and Buck's always one to be impulsive when his emotions are too much.

And Eddie asks what he can do, a parallel to when Eddie's life was crumbling around him. He rests their foreheads together, whispers as he still clings to Buck, I'm here. What can I do? and Buck kisses him.

It's not how it's supposed to happen, but nothing about their lives or their relationship has ever been the way it was supposed to. Bobby brought them together over a grenade and it's finally traveled enough distance to go boom. They neither one care if they survive the blast.

And then Buck's phone rings, it's the only thing that separates them. He doesn't want to answer it, doesn't want to let go of Eddie for anything, but it's Maddie, he has to answer it, freaks out that it may be Chim, or the kids, or-

"Bobby's alive."

And they neither one talk about it, neither one acknowledge it, how can they sort out their own feelings when they're running to the hospital to piece back together the family they thought would never be whole again?

Buck: Do we know exactly how Bobby survived?

Chim: Yeah because we were infected at the same time, and he was fine for most of it?

Hen: His golden blood kept him safe. And even though it was a super strain, changing the way the disease spreads diminished its lethality.

Ravi: So it wasn't airborne after all?

Eddie: I was wondering about that. The regular CCHF spreads through insect bites or contact with fluids of another infected human.

Hen: Yeah, the super strain tried to change that and made it more unstable in the process.

Buck: Hence Cap's zombie routine.

Chim: Well, thank God for Cap's resurrection powers.

Eddie: I guess Cap has his Halloween costume locked in now.
