Crazy how every El Paso episode is reaffirming Eddie’s “you do matter to me” statement. It’s not just words. The writers are now showing us instead of telling us that Eddie does indeed need Buck as much as Buck needs him, that Buck is integral to Eddie’s life and that him moving away doesnt change that fact at all.
And it’s another way they’re contrasting Eddie with Abby. Abby left Buck with vague assurances that she cares about him, that she might come back at some point, but it was all just words. As soon as she left L.A. she left Buck behind too. She closed that chapter of her life and didn’t make any effort to make that known to Buck.
But Eddie puts his money where his mouth is. It’s not just words. Eddie told Buck he matters to him and then he proved it by keeping him in his life, by talking to him all the time and needing him and relying on his support.
Buck has accepted the fact that Eddie is not coming back (even tho we know he is lol) while he clung to the idea of Abby coming back for far too long. But Eddie has not left Buck in any doubt that he loves him. That’s why Buck has been able to stop spiralling. Because he’s secure in the knowledge that distance doesnt change what they are to each other. He knows he will always have Eddie. And Eddie knows he will always have Buck.
now call me crazy but if eddie were actually straight i dont think The Television would keep telling me that. i think they’d just let him be straight in peace. my humble opinion
dear friends,
We are currently facing an unimaginable and heartbreaking situation in Gaza. After receiving orders from the Israeli Forces to evacuate our area, we were forced to leave our tent, running for safety while bombs rained down around us. We fled with nothing, seeking refuge in another area that, unfortunately, is just as unsafe, leaving us exposed to constant danger.
Now, we are living in tent whicg needs new setting, enduring the cold, rain, and the constant fear of more attacks. The lack of basic necessities like food, clean water, and medical supplies is taking a heavy toll on us. Prices for essential goods have skyrocketed, and it’s becoming impossible to meet even the most basic needs for survival.
We are urgently asking for help. We need immediate support to provide food, shelter, medical aid, and funds to help us get through these difficult days. Without assistance, our survival is uncertain, and we are reaching out to anyone who can offer help in these desperate times.
If you are able to contribute, whether it’s through donations, sharing post, or offering any kind of support, it will make a life-saving difference. Your generosity can help us stay alive and find hope amidst this crisis.
Please, stand with us during this devastating time and help us survive the hardships we are facing. Every bit of support counts, and we are truly grateful for anything you can do.
Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.

my favourite buddie moment changes day-to-day honestly. but one that always, always takes my breath away. that i think about so much. is that moment, post-tsunami. in buck's loft. where buck is struggling to understand why eddie would ever trust him to watch christopher again. because part of him is still there, in that water. frantically searching for chris, calling his name. thinking i lost him, i lost him, i lost him. and eddie just says. you saved him. and buck still fights him on it. but then eddie holds buck's shoulder and searches for him. in that water that buck's still wading through. seeks out buck's gaze until buck properly looks at him. and you can see the moment buck does. not via buck but via eddie's expression. because eddie's eyes say. there you are, i've got you, now hear this. and only then does he say "there's nobody in this world i trust with my son more than you" what the FUCK eddie diaz. it makes me ILL.
btw after rebar to the head, temporary death via lightning, and slit-throat shenanigans, they're gonna have to explode bobby in 1080p on my screen if they want me to believe he's dead for sure. if that man's guts aren't splattered across the lense I'm not buying it.
Okay but why did they name the baby Robert NASH Han 😭😭😭😭
do you think buck lies awake at night trying hard and failing bad not to think about The Competition Conversation. like "he was a renter? WHY did i say that? A RENTER?????? whatever. Whatever. it's true anyway. he WAS a renter. and he IS straight. and i'm NOT in love with him. it's TRUE. it's fine. whatever!!!!! who cares. not me! 🙂 stupid tommy. what does he know? he just doesn't get our Bond. our NORMAL BOND. whatever. shut up and go to sleep buck. you have facetime breakfast with eddie in the morning! which is NOT because i'm in love with him. just to be clear!" and then he grabs his phone and googles "facetime every day sometimes multiple times normal reddit" and it takes him to r/datingadvice and r/longdistance and he throws his phone on the floor

It fucking pisses me off that people keep trying to paint Eddie as abusive, even though he’s proven over and over again that, no matter how angry he gets, he would never actually hurt anyone. Even at the peak of his grief — completely furious — he still held back his emotions. And still, people label him as abusive, while other characters have acted out and didn’t get nearly the same backlash.
No one called Bobby abusive when he shoved Buck.
No one called Buck abusive when he sprained Eddie's ankle.
So why is it different when Eddie puts a hand on his shoulder and points at him? Why are those considered less intense than a hand on the shoulder and a finger?
And no — even though he was grieving, I don’t think Eddie was right to take it out on Buck like that. He doesn’t think so either. That’s why later he says, “I heard some dick (he) was pissing you off.” He knows he crossed a line with Buck.
In my opinion, the problem at that moment was that Eddie needed Buck — he needed them to share their grief, to support each other. But Buck was so focused on trying to “fix things” that he didn’t realize grief isn’t something you fix — it’s something you feel. And that frustrated Eddie because all he really wanted was to be with his partner. (It honestly reminded me of when the same thing happened with Hen and Karen.)
Every single fight they had has come down to a lack of communication, a lack of expressing their feelings — and the explosion that follows.
Were Eddie actions okay? In my opinion, no. But it doesn't mean he's abusive. He’s grieving. Just like Buck. Just like everyone else. People grieve in different ways.
Honestly, if you consider him abusive while thinking other characters’ actions were justifiable, then I have news for you — it’s kinda clear why you think that.
And I can’t deal with people using such a serious issue just because of a ship war.
Can you imagine going through all of that, saying fuck you to the army and the fbi, evading them in a stolen helicopter, being arrested by the fbi and army, to deliver the one single antiviral to save someone you love. All to only lose another person you love in the same way.
