Sometimes I just start thinking about this moment - paired with Maddie's "I just think that maybe you're not sure of your own feelings yet. And if there's something that you need to tell Eddie, you will. Just, in your own time" - and then don't stop thinking about it.

Maybe I'm just reading into it but the way this moment moves. Eddie steps forward, Tommy steps up to exactly where Eddie was, Buck turns to look where Eddie was, doesn't find what he was looking for but still finds something good. It's not just ep 4 and 5 where the focus on Eddie blows me away, it's also this.

🫴💵 the 5 dollar. anyway i think youre totally wrong for disliking new vegas because of its stability issues i mean ehrrmmm have you SEEN the overhaul mods that half of the time don't work rock hard as fuck

all the overhauls that i've seen add or change things visually that i don't personally find pleasing but i'm very aware that they're out there. and there are probably some i haven't seen

although i did say that i like new vegas a lot. i've gotten a ton of play time out of it and as a whole it is really really compelling. as i've gotten newer and newer technology it's gotten harder and harder to stabilize the game to a point where the crashing was tolerable, so i moved on to other games. i never stopped liking it, i just stopped playing it

Sorry I'm kind of obsessed in a morbid way with the world's most petty and hygiene-conscious gay man and the real life embodiment of a scab (I'm so sorry, Matty, you deserve so much better) so I have more to say about maccricket. It's sort of like enemies to lovers/beauty and the beast dynamic in my head ygm?

Cricket can spin the nastiest grossest stories you've ever heard while drinking lukewarm beers with Mac on the rooftop and Mac just grunts and grimaces and kind of tries to ignore it. but sometimes if he lets himself get really into it he'll sit there agog with his eyes wide and gleaming with barely contained interest and it makes Cricket feel important and seen. which as a homeless dude feels alien after so many years but he kind of likes it. it gives him pause at first because he's like 'what are your intentions' and Mac is just like 'nono. continue telling me about the time you fought off three dogs for a scrap of meat and then scaled an entire building to escape their snarling maws. that's so fucking cool, dude, you're like a ninja'.

Cricket takes care of Poppins when Mac lets him roam (to the best of his ability). Mac doesn't know this and Cricket doesn't know Poppins is Mac's dog. They both find Poppins one time and spiderman point at each other. "This is your piece of shit fleabag?" "HE'S MY PIECE OF SHIT FLEABAG!!! AND HE'S NOT A FLEABAG!!! OR A PIECE OF SHIT!!! HE'S POPPINS!!!" "You called your dog Poppins? That's a lame fucking name." "NO IT'S NOT! IT'S COOL! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" "Give me a dime bag and I'll consider it."

Cricket thinks Mac's coming on to him. Mac refutes that in his typical fashion, but then goes quiet and admits if they'd met back when he was still a priest, Father Mara would have definitely been his type. Cricket kind of considers this in silence and then they don't talk about it ever again.

But: Cricket lazily comes on to Mac multiple times and Mac always rejects him loudly and aggressively particularly when they're around the rest of the Gang until they're alone and then suddenly Mac's apologising and backtracking (because in his mind, Cricket is still kind of a priest and therefore a representative of God and still deserving of some kind of twisted respect) and Cricket shrugs it off but thinks it's weird. That Mac's weird and uptight and too complicated. Mac makes it up to him by buying him stuff for his underpass shelter like new cardboard to reinforce the walls or more beer. (endless beer). he always drops it off in the dead of night because how can he bear to be seen in the same vicinity as Cricket unless there's total darkness?

Cricket's willing to put up with Mac's shit insofar as he gets something out of it. Whether that's beer or drugs or company. Mac's happy to spend time with him as long as it's not around the Gang, and he actually even thinks he's funny even if he can't quite look him in the eye.

"One second you need me, next I'm a pile of garbage, is that what this is?"

Mac soothes Cricket's anger when he mistreats him by taking him out to 'dinner' where it's the shiftiest, nastiest steakhouse you've ever seen and they sit in the darkest corner possible both so that Mac doesn't get seen with Cricks, and he doesn't have to look at Cricket directly. Like that he can almost pretend it's a date. It's not.

Cricket constantly calls Mac's bullshit on his relationship with God and Mac constantly pushes back with his effervescent, loud, and incorrect opinion on how God does everything, but also nothing, and that God made him gay. Obviously. And that he ordained that Cricket had to be a homeless pimp and/or prostitute addicted to hard drugs. Cricket tells him it's actually Dee's fault.

Highschool maccricket would be insane. They're both devoted to god in entirely different ways. Mac religiously goes to Sunday confession (afterwards he sells weed oil in the parking lot to the grannies and acts like he's a badass for it) and almost every time he bumps into goodie-two-shoes altar boy Matthew Mara (who has also listened to plenty of Mac's confessions with wide, horrified eyes when the priest can't be arsed). It's awkward and stilted and Matty's a fumbling, righteous mess who can barely look Mac in the eye, who likes that kind of thing because it makes him feel big and intimidating. Cricket goes on to use that tactic with his boyslut in 'Gets Cursed'.

Mac learning to look past the surface and Cricket learning how to soften his sharp edges—just a little bit. Think of a rehoused ex-abused dog flinching at every raised hand that needs so much devotion and care to be rehabilitated. Mac's not quite that good but he's better than any of the street guys that ask after Cricket's head. Even if he's a dick. Cricket is so used to being used that he's come to expect it, so when Mac doesn't do that it leaves him curious as to why. Mac likes that Cricket is kind of unruffled about his complexities and Cricket likes that Mac buys him beer and actually bothers to listen to him sometimes and comes to him when he needs things (like access to Chase Utley).

Mac being forced to reckon with his quasi-torture of Matthew in school and Cricket being like 'what you did was not cool' and he drugs Mac and does the exact same thing to him but it doesn't feel good. it's not a satisfying result and makes him feeling disgusting and wretched and he breaks down crying quietly that night at what his life has become. Mac wakes up confused and asks him what happened and Cricket lies and said he'd greened out. He'll take that secret to his grave.

Mac always pays him until one day he forgets and Cricket doesn't bother to remind him. From that day on, Cricket makes it a quiet thing that he doesn't require Mac to pay for his time and it makes him remember what actually hanging out with people without expecting manipulation, or having a knife pulled on him, or expecting them to demand something from him, feels like. It's kinda nice. He starts to actually enjoy himself rather than be in survival mode all the time.

Now for the nasty stuff: (NSFW)

The shit they get up to is the nastiest freakiest alleyway-outdoors frot and fuck off that's ever been known to mankind. It's the kind of desperate, animalistic pawing that our ancestors are known for. None of that long and slow and gentle. These two go at it like orgasm is a requirement and they're speedrunning that shit. More often than not, Mac cums on Cricket's face and has to avert his gaze when Cricket complains that it got his beard/goatee. Ninety percent of the time he leaves without offering to help Cricket clean himself up. Ten percent of the time he feels guilty enough (about sullying the temple of his body with someone so gross) and tosses a mini packet of baby wipes Cricket's way.

Cricket's motto is: pay for anything above a casual hand touch and Mac is more than capable of wheedling and whining and puppy-dog pouting his way into a steep discount. Except Cricket is wise to his ways and actually charges him the standard rate, minus five bucks off when Mac brings beer around. Most of the time he finds Mac outside of his camper's spot piss drunk and loudly yelling at the surroundings and complaining that it stinks of piss right up until they take a walk along the Schuylkill and end up fucking in the bushes in a park

Mac almost always tells Cricket that he's never going to see him again and threatens to beat his ass if he tells the Gang 'what they get up to' and Cricket is nonchalant about it and tells him he remembers when Mac confessed at 17 to getting a girl pregnant and demanded she get an abortion. Mac learns to shut up real quick after that.

Cricket's the king of makeshift and generally-unsafe-unsanitary bondage. He'll use old shirts as rope and tatters from his trousers as cumrags and it leaves Mac's skin crawling right up until Cricket's four deep in his ass and making him mewl into the dirt because he's so hard his brain is gone. Despite being 'gay for pay' and terrible to look at and abrasive, Cricket is incredibly good at what he does.

Priest Play. Cricket still has his fucked up priest's robes. Mac has a priest kink. They get real weird with it.

Mac takes Cricket to an underground gay raver club and it's so dark that people can't really see him and the air is so thick with booze and sweat that no one can really smell him either. they get drunk and start dancing together and there's a point where Mac kind of grabs Cricket to grind who immediately tries to pull away and Mac's grip grows a little tighter and Cricket's thinking 'he's going to hurt me' and all Mac does is giggle and pull him close and hug him. It cracks something in Cricket's brain and he tugs Mac to the nearest bathroom and gives him the sloppiest nastiest top known to man right after railing a line off his cock.

Cricket accidentally spilling that they hang out around the Gang and Mac blows his top (more hurt than angry) and Cricket's like 🤷 I don't know what you want from me man. Where's your stash of edibles? Oh, I'm gonna go smoke this angel dust in the bathroom. And Mac's hounding on his heels the whole way like a sheepdog only to knock it out of his hands (and after giving Cricket a pre-emptive wash in the bathroom sink) before using the glory hole after getting into an argument about Cricket's wasted drugs.

GARFIELD EVOLUTIONARY TIMELINE

1976: Proto-Garfield, side-character to Jon

1978: Earliest properly-recognizable Garfield, visual overhaul accompanies syndication and retitle of comic to Garfield

1979: Transitional state between proto-Garfield and 80s Garfield, marketed by increased anthropomorphization and larger, cartoonish expressions, while retaining a realistic body shape

1980-1984: 80s Garfield, facial structure has largely stabilized save for dimensions, noticeable retention of quadrupedal motion in most situations

1985-1992: Emergence of modern Garfield, shift towards predominantly vertical locomotion, expansion of feet, facial structure begins to horizontally compress and vertically extend

1989: [REDACTED]

1993-1999: Continued anthropomorphic shift, separation of head from torso and reduction of belly fat, noticeable

2000-present: stabilization of modern Garfield, head size reduced in final proportion alteration. Jim Davis had divined the final, perfect version of his pop culture homonculus.

...but the end of the road for one man is a broad horizon for the next...
