#especially with the thought that we might get to explore the diaz family dynamics in 5b with eddie in therapy

[dancing-mylife-away]

the more i think about eddie and his sisters, the more intrigued i am. because if the writers wanted to show that eddie has at least a somewhat good/close relationship with sophia and adriana, it could. they have single lines all the time that are meant to tell us what happened between episodes and off-screen

so they could easily throw in off handed lines about like, eddie saying that chris wants to go to summer camp this year instead of spending a week with one of his sisters for some cousin time. or that one of his sisters asked him and chris to spend christmas with them, or something like that. but they never have

and they also didn't have sophia or adriana defend eddie to their parents after shannon's funeral or during eddie begins when eddie came home from afghanistan and his parents had that welcome home party. and they very pointedly did not have his sisters do anything to defend or support eddie in those instances i suspect for a reason, since it wouldn't have been that hard to have one of his sisters to at least be like "hey mom and dad, back off, chill"

and so they've never written anything to indicate he has a close relationship with his sisters which then it's like, why?? i mean sure, it could just be that eddie simply isn't close with his sisters for no reason other than the fact that that's just how it is sometimes (that's how it is with me and my brother). but this is 911 so there's probably something deeper there from their childhood that is the reason eddie and his sisters aren't particularly close. and i am VERY curious as to what that reason is. like does eddie, on some level, resent his sisters because they got the unconditional love and support from their parents that he doesn't seem to get because they're girls and he's the lone son? were his parents the same way with his sisters and instead of it being something the 3 of them bonded over, they distanced themselves from each other instead?? idk i've just been thinking about this a lot lately

#911 on fox #911 fox #911 thoughts #idk i'm just super intrigued #especially with the thought that we might get to explore the diaz family dynamics in 5b with eddie in therapy #so idk i've just been thinking more about him and his sisters #because again the show gives us lines all the time to let the audience know stuff that's happened off-screen or in between episodes you kno #and so the lack of any mention like ever of his sisters obviously leads me to think theres something there between them #and eddie is really the only one we know very little about his childhood/growing up #like hen has talked about her mom and dad and some comments about coming out to her mom when she was younger and stuff #obviously we had buck begins for buck's childhod #and chim has talked about what his dad was like and staying with his mom in the us and later the lees #and we just really don't know anything about eddie before he joined the military #i mean there's some inferences you can make based on what we know abt his parents n that he grew up in a mexican catholic house in el paso #but we know very little about anything from before him and shannon got pregnant and married and he joined the army #anyway i really hope we get to see or hear eddie talk about his childhood and hopefully his sisters #and see some more family dynamics beyond eddie and his parents and eddie and abuela & pepa
