Okay, tagging @stagefoureddiediaz because Kym is the one who’s been tracking the watches, but I will give you a rundown.
Eddie has had a specific off-duty watch that was different from his work watch. This one. The first time it showed up was in 406 during his date with Ana.
Kym has nicknamed it the Christopher watch. Since it showed up with Ana, it leaves the question if this is a symbol of Eddie ignoring what he wants in favor of doing what he thinks is best for Chris.
Side note, but the only other time he has a different watch is in 613 during the poker date, that pretty gold one over there.
That leads us to 810 and what we are calling the Buck watch. This blue one he’s wearing during the goodbye.
Why is it interesting? Well, in the car during 810, Eddie still has the beige one, but in the hospital, he has this blue one. So, continuity doesn’t matter here, the watch is supposed to be noticed.
Since the hospital, every time we see Eddie, he is wearing the watch. Except for the bit where he asks his parents to cover the chess club and the dinner he is asleep at the table. It’s also there in both scenes we see of Eddie in the stills for 813.
The best thing about it? This watch is a William Wood “The Red Watch”, it is available in 6 colors, the one Eddie has? Blue Fire Hose.
I don’t know how much you followed of my color meta, but Buck literally works himself into a blue color during his coming out arc. So Buck is a blue character. And they gave Eddie a blue *Buck’s old nickname* watch. So, yeah. Gotta love the costume department.
i love eddie diaz so bad i could die from it like it’s an infectious disease that’s overwhelming my nervous system and forcing my body to shut down but it’s fine im totally okay with it
“Starting to root for this guy” as in “They sent me to kill her and I made another call” kind of root for this guy? Did he and Coulson make a deal after the whole whoops-Black-Widow-is-now-an-asset-sorry-Coulson deal where Coulson made Hawkeye promise to tell him when he started rooting for the person he was supposed to shoot in the head? How many times has this been a problem for Hawkeye? Is he, like, known in SHIELD for being the agent who might adopt the target you sent him to kill?
I firmly believe that this is what happened with him and Natasha. Like, Fury gives Clint the order, the next thing he knows Barton’s dragging Natasha in being like BOSS CAN I PLEASE KEEP HER I PROMISE TO CLEAN UP ANY BODY PARTS SHE LEAVES LYING AROUND PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEASE
And his instincts aren’t bad, he manages to pick out people who will actually be assets, so it makes Coulson think twice when he says it?
worst thing people did was turn the incredibly personal experience of being lgbt into strict definitions and rules and then ridicule and harass others who don’t fit into their neat boxes, as if that isn’t what we were trying to run away from this whole time.
seeing people on twitter call buck “clifford the big red bisexual” and remembering clifford only grew so big because he was loved so hugely and unconditionally by emily elizabeth. and thinking about twinky lonely season one buck who’d just joined the 118. versus big beautiful beefcake season 8 buck after nearly a decade with bobby, hen, and chim, with his sister, with eddie and chris. so yeah, clifford the big red bisexual growing and growing and growing because their love for him is so damn big.
