I keep coming back to the fact that Eddie and Chris were playing boggle - both in Bucks loft and in the Diaz house in ep 1. Because boggle is about finding the words in a mass of letters - the answers are in plain sight- literally staring you straight in the face.
Eddie is the one who wins the game - because he is the one who needs to find the answers, not Chris - and it suggests he will in fact figure out what’s been in plain sight all along.
But I love the idea that Chris does have some of the same answers as Eddie. Not all of the same answers and he’ll perhaps have found some different words to Eddie, because they both ultimately want/need different things from their respective relationships with Buck, but that there is cross over in those wants and needs.

ok y'all I gotta be honest, but I totally knew that Ragh had gotten Kalina from Porter and thought that everyone else also knew this so seeing some people surprised threw me for a loop a bit
However this certainty of knowledge had absolutely no impact on any of my thoughts and theories this season 😂 not once did it cross my mind that Porter was the one with the spies tongue curse and honestly it didn't even cross my mind that Porter had infected Ragh on purpose I figured it was an accident like when Sandra Lynn and Tracker did the healing
I just didn't like Porter bc he was a dick and mean to Gorgug 😂

it’s the way some people were headcanoning beforehand that eddie would be dead in the dream bc buck wasn’t there to save him from the sniper but the episode chose to focus on buck’s impact on eddie so early on the show instead and how all that almost mirrors the “you act like you’re expendable but you’re wrong” conversation. Bc ultimately it’s never been about buck saving eddie in the literal sense, it’s about the way he’s saved him just because he’s buck. Because he’s eddie’s support system and because he has his back and because of his importance to christopher and because, from pretty much the first week, buck stepped into the mess with eddie and never stepped back out again

Wolfwood as a Judas figure
(and what does the Couch have to do with it)
you know how there are some interpetations of Wolfwood as the Judas to Vash's Jesus
and as the betrayal people use the whole "brought Vash to Knives"
that never really did it for me
sure, that incident is a betrayal all right - he brought Vash to the slaughter - but thematically, or in its consequences it just doesn't fit The Judas Betrayal
Wolfwood regreted it almost instantly and turned around undo what he's done and to rescue Vash - I went into it a while ago but this to me a Peter type betrayal the "before the rooster cries three times you will deny me" type
Now here is the take I come in with
in some interpretations of Judas his betrayal was not an act of selfishness but an act of love - Judas knew he had to betray Jesus for his ressurection to come
he betrayed Jesus, the person, to propagate Jesus, the idea, and in the proces sacrificed himself along with his eternal life
now hear me out on this
Wolfwood betrayed Vash, the person, by putting down his life, for Vash's ideals of sparing a life of someone else
due to this betrayal a part of Vash died
but a part of him has also undergone a change to allow him to reach his goals
this chapter really marks a turning point in Vash's character - something that wouldn't happen be it not for Wolfwood's sacrifice
in the end of the day
Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss

If you get too obsessed with making your own character cool or badass or witty or sympathetic or a sexyman or ANYTHING that appeals to fans, you've lost. It feels too manufactured. Too fake. You can't go on in-text about a character's unimaginable cool guy powers or backstory sincerely without it sucking all the fun out cause it just tells you what to think. Just present the story, man. Don't be so self conscious about your writing that you force in a bunch of extra stuff to show how something is. Let the fandom design the completely needless alternate cool forms. Let them decide what is and isn't cool. If you have to entirely manufacture interpretations of your characters, you've lost.
