Gay Eddie Diaz - Tumblr Posts
Okay, I wanted to share just a little of what I think could happen on s8 (around just buddie) because the thought came to me so randomly that I can't stop thinking about it.
Paralleling to s4, Eddie gets injured in the big call at the start of the season (maybe on 8x03), leaving this space free for Buck to watch on Eddie and 'moving in' with him because he knows that Eddie will need him yes or yes. This maybe will cause 'trouble' on Buck's relationship with Tommy, causing the inevitable breakup + other pileup problems surrounding the differences between them, the 118 and Gerrard (bc i know he will be there to cause trouble somehow).
So, after Buck moves in with Eddie, he will try to convince him about returning to therapy, and because Christopher isn't there, Eddie will try to do his best to heal for him and his son (and for Buck too).
Healing will be the first step inside his internal journey to try and discover 'what is wrong with him'. This will lead to an Eddie Begins Again, where we can see his childhood, how's growing up inside a Mexican-Catholic house, how he ended up with Shannon and the guilty behind her pregnancy and the pressure of a wedding, maybe we can see hints of him feeling 'different' around boys and how this affected him and his decisions with the relationship around Shannon before marriage. And as we know, the Begin's episodes are in between present calls, maybe this time is a call where Buck is in danger and Eddie is trying to save him, to not lose him because he's feeling a lot and he's now capable of process all of these feelings thanks to therapy. Probably the episode will end with both okay but Eddie feeling empty with the thought of his life without Buck.
This can lead to the Christmas episode before mid-season break. Nobody is cheerful enough to do celebrations (paralleling to s3), Christopher is still in Texas and Buck is just there with Eddie. They talk about therapy (I can only imagine this talk on Eddie's kitchen), how Eddie was scared at the thought of losing Buck, they will probably touch the shooting and the will (s4) and how Buck felt the same back then and that's why he moved in with him now (at the start of the season) after his accident. Buck probably will start to notice the pattern and have his 'oh' moment right there, leading Eddie to take the risk and ask Buck "can I?" before kissing him.
This time, Eddie doesn't panic, maybe he's worried about making Buck uncomfortable but they just continue kissing. Maybe Buck runs away but he lets Eddie know that he isn't doing anything wrong, he just needs a minute to process what happened and that's when the mid-season ends, with Buck 'leaving' Eddie but with Eddie feeling full of emotions and with Buck's heart on his hands because he knows Buck enough to understand him.
s8b will just be Buddie navigating through their feelings and this new relationship between them. They will need to understand why this doesn't feel completely different from when they were just 'best friends' and understanding that now they can kiss freely, feeling this sense of power just with the thought of both being a real couple now and how their dynamics inside the 118 are just the same as always. Everything cam feel weird because they wouldn't know what to do now but nothing too bad, just funny moments of them being touchy and more happy and the whole 118 will be on this kind of limbo of suspiciousness (Tim could give us a 2 episodes of secret relationship with funny calls, lighthearted moments, jealousy) before they can't keep their feelings as a secret and start spilling the tea to all.
Eddie will continue the therapy and Buck will continue living with Eddie until Christopher cames back and starts asking questions, and I just hope for him not to freak out or give Buddie a hard moment (paralleling to s4/s7 with the whole Ana thing and people leaving like Shannon, etc.) because I'll lose my shit if that happens.
But yeah, this is my vision of what I imagined for next season. I'm so excited for what's next and jumping with excitement at the thought of Eddie being a gay character CANON. Tim cannot leave him without that arc, that's the only thing that needs to happen yes or yes, I cannot watch any other woman near Eddie because that man is GAY.
This are just my thoughts but please, be respectful and don't throw pebbles at me pls :((
He's ready to go for the title now 🫶🏻

Final Post (I think😅)
But the way Eddie is so uninterested in his OWN girlfriend and his OWN relationship is so funny to me, cause how is it that he's never asked anyone to watch Chris so he can take Marisol out, but he asked Marisol to watch Chris TWICE in ONE WEEK so he could go out with Tommy (Eddie, honey your gay is showing)
Eddie, when he's told to spend time with his girlfriend:

We have to free Eddie Diaz from the shackles of heterosexuality. I know what you are, gay boy
I saw a take on TikTok about 7x06 the other day that is some type of fanfic level of insanity. It’s where they think Buck and Eddie get so blackout drunk that they get married during CHIMS BACHELOR PARTY
This is the exact reason I’m wanting to go “fuck it. BuckTommy endgame. Have Eddie come out and endgame him with a guy from another fire house.”
I don’t see eddie as gay but IF they ever make him like men I can only see him with josh 😭
I’ve grappled with this really since 7x04. While Eddie/Josh is definitely better than Eddie/Marisol for a whole bunch of reasons, I also don’t want the show to go “oh hey eddies gay so let’s put him with the other out gay guy on the show.”
Eddie/Josh COULD make a good and compelling storyline IF the network decides to go that route since Eddie and Josh already know each other, as they worked dispatch together for a few months. Not to mention that they’re funny as hell and have an interesting dynamic in the few scenes they have together in 5b
