propaganda i’m not falling for: eddie still being a bad cook post season five

[martyreddie]

the most beautiful thing of all about the eddieshannon tragedy might just be the fact that whichever way you read their identities/relationship with each other, it's always tragic in a gut-wrenching way. gay man and lesbian? comphet cage suffocating two people who never got to see each other self-actualise. gay man and bisexual/heterosexual woman? she loved him and that doomed her, and he couldn't even love her in the same way in return. bisexual/straight man and lesbian woman? a man in love clings so hard to the idea of what they could be that he never sees that maybe the version of her that he's in love with isn't actually real, and before he can ever meet the real her she dies. bisexual/straight man and bisexual/straight woman? the ever painful what could've been; two people who married too young and never got to grow together, their love for each other stunting rather than strengthening them.

just heartbreak, pain, and tragedy all around. I love it.

once again feeling #blessed that the british man does absolutely nothing for me

it's just. they've been together in this cage for years now. they tried and failed to make a home out of it, but they never left even when things fell apart. no matter how much actual physical distance there was between them, they were both still trapped together. and she's always been flirting with the exit in some way, but now she finally puts it into words and that shakes him to the core because he still sees the bars as something that's keeping something out rather than them in. still, there's hope here for a moment, because maybe if she leaves she can coax him out as well, tell him of the world outside and beckon him to follow her, but as if the world blinked, hope is gone again. because she dies before she can fully cross the threshold. and now, her corpse is blocking the way out. and if he ever wanted to escape, he'd have to do the two things he could never bring himself to do: actually get close to her, and then leave her behind.

shannon asks eddie whether they could maybe kind of cut the shitty little plastic band they tied around their wrists when they were kids because she'd sorta like to be able to walk more than five feet away from him and also it'd maybe be nice to have proper circulation in her hand again and eddie just goes "conterpoint: how about we both hang ourselves with it"

“And so maybe you’re — you’re kind of like a penguin, you know? And I always liked penguins — they’re great, right? Who doesn��t like penguins? — but that was never me. I was something else. Like a cheetah, maybe. Do you — do you get what I’m saying?” And Buck… Buck absolutely does not get when Eddie’s saying. But now Eddie’s looking at him with these imploring eyes — golden brown and gleaming — and Buck doesn’t want to do anything to disrupt this groove he’s in, not when he’s talking about what he wants, about things that make him happy. So, “Yeah,” he says, and when Eddie smiles again, all relief, he knows it’s the right call. Or: Eddie comes out to Buck; Buck thinks he wants to go to the zoo.

[martyreddie]

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

favorite thing about buck is when he tries desperately to find socially acceptable ways to self-harm

[martyreddie]

(deep in my coal mine) huh. maybe canaries just do that.

Don’t Drink the Water

buddie | T | 2.2k | first kiss, idiot4idiot, drunk eddie, jealous buck, the water/juice metaphor actually being used, alternating povs, tooth-rotting fluff, mutual pining, they’re both so silly here, so in love it makes them look stupid <3, some mild angst because they’re stupid

"There's steam coming out of your ears," Hen says drily, taking a sip out of her very vibrant cocktail, and Buck blinks, eyes dry like he hasn't blinked in a very long time.

"What?" he asks, trying to turn to look at her, but just as he's about to, Eddie throws his head back laughing and Buck feels himself sitting up straighter, ears perked up even though it's impossible for him to hear what they're talking about from all the way across the club. He should probably go check on Eddie. It's been so long and he really does need that drink.

"I'm gonna go see what's taking Eddie so long," he says, still not taking his eyes off them.

"I think we can see just fine from over here."

"I'm just gonna check on him."

"He looks perfectly fine."

"You don't know that, we can't see his face."

"We can, you've just been staring at his ass all night."

Buck's eye twitches, but he ignores her. "Yeah, let me go see what's going on."

(Or, Eddie chooses juice. Buck chooses him right back.)

8b buddie is so funny because it's buck learning the lesson of being alone and trying to be an independent human being who can survive without clinging to others and eddie being like 'wait. no.'

[martyreddie]

buck and eddie's unwillingness bordering on refusal to break up with significant others that they truly should not be with vs. buck and eddie's fondness and even passion for quitting the job they love
