#also potentially controversial take but: i think we need to take ana being with chris during the blackout with a huge grain of salt

YES, thank you! I don’t know why so many people took it to mean that Ana was the one to do all the heavy lifting in the Diaz household during Eddie’s time off when she obviously hasn’t even been over for longer than a day judging by the way Eddie’s about to send her home before the breakup. There are posts about their relationship expressing pity for her because “she stood by and cared for him when he was shot” like who said that? 😭 Eddie “it’s not serious” Diaz?

right? i swear, people heard "she's been a godsend" and instantly decided to ignore the latter half of the dialogue, where eddie actually says outright exactly what he means by that. there's a huge amount of difference between ana being in the diaz household for months, helping eddie recover, and her being there for a couple of days while eddie was working. sometimes it rly feels like eddie gets more flack for things that never even happened, with regards to the eddieana breakup, than buck got for actually cheating on his gf...i know ana is a more sympathetic character, but y'all have got to stop making things up.

#also potentially controversial take but: i think we need to take ana being with chris during the blackout with a huge grain of salt #because it's very obvious that it was a narrative device to make eddie realize how he felt about spending his life with her #rather than something that made sense in the actual canon of the show #considering that carla was back in the picture (unlike s4) #and in s4 itself it was well-established that eddie had somehow managed childcare without carla's help during the pandemic and everything #so there was no *real* reason for ana to be there at all—with what we know of the show's universe it makes no sense #it was purely a narrative device #and that needs to be kept in mind while interpreting that particular arc #neethu answers #anon
