Not long ago was Día de muertos , and in my country, Ecuador, people usually celebrate it by eating a type of bread called "guaguas de pan." Since I couldn't have any on that day, today I wanted to make my own guaguas de pan but with the characters from Welcome Home. I still need to decorate them, but I wanted to show the progress. They're supposed to be decorated like this:
Anyway, for now, this is how my guaguas de pan turned out

'they can’t seem to grasp that some people are just enjoying bucktommy as much as (or even more than) b*ddie.' i mean fully the only reason someone would prefer bucktommy over buddie is that its easier for them to get off on but whatever.
i cannot stress enough that i'm a lesbian...
and this might come as a shock but some people also just prefer canon ships, that's something people are allowed to do. not everyone enjoys having to delve through six layers of meta and subtext, not everyone enjoys reading fanfiction, some people just want to sit down and watch a tv show explore a relationship they're invested in and can relate to.
for the record the only thing making me 'prefer' bucktommy over b*ddie is the behavior of certain b*ddie shippers.

Alanna Vagianos at HuffPost:
Some people may believe that the end of Roe v. Wade was simply a matter of luck: Following the then-black swan event of Donald Trump winning the 2016 election, Trump got to appoint two Supreme Court Justices in his first two years and a third after an octogenarian passed away weeks before the 2020 election.
The court then had a 6-3 conservative supermajority, and that was that. But the project to overturn the federal right to abortion was much more calculated, involving an alliance of Republican groups aiming to reshape Congress, the courts and American life. And while conservatives may have won a huge battle, it’s not the end of their unholy war.
That’s the story New York Times reporters Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer tell in their new book, “The Fall of Roe,” a deeply reported accounting of the machinations of anti-abortion activists and lawmakers to reverse the 1973 ruling that reshaped both society and women’s lives. The book recounts the conservative network’s past victories, yes, but is also a window into the future, highlighting just how crucial November’s elections are for our rights and freedoms.
That’s because if Trump wins a second term, this conservative coalition will bring even more litigation to strip away people’s rights — and would likely face a Supreme Court that’s even more untouchable than it is now.
The group most connected to Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that overturned Roe, is Alliance Defending Freedom, a far-right Christian advocacy group. But ADF certainly didn’t do it alone, per Dias and Lerer — correspondents on religion and politics, respectively. In many ways, two other organizations laid the groundwork for this victory: The Federalist Society, a judicial group that drafted a list of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees, judges Trump said were all opposed to Roe; and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, an anti-abortion political group with an affiliated PAC.
And they’re all funded with massive amounts of dark money, including from billionaires like the Koch brothers. The 30,000-foot view is that these groups worked together to draft and pass unpopular state laws and have conservative lawyers defend them in front of friendly judges who had been confirmed to lifetime appointments by Republican senators. The network could use this playbook on any number of issues in the future.
ADF wrote Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban at issue in the Dobbs litigation. Dias and Lerer report that a conservative Wisconsin lawyer suggested crafting a ban at exactly 15 weeks basically as a dare for abortion rights proponents to challenge it, believing the Supreme Court would find the ban reasonable and gut Roe without fully overturning it.
The lawyer, Misha Tseytlin, allegedly floated the idea at a Trump victory party hosted by Federalist Society Chair Leonard Leo, and then someone connected to ADF heard it, and the organization had Tseytlin present his theory at a July 2017 ADF summit. (This story shows that conservatives picked 15 weeks not because of emerging medical research, but because abortion rights advocates had chosen not to sue over previous 20-week bans designed to challenge Roe.)
ADF drafted a model bill, identified states that might pass it and that had anti-abortion attorneys general who would defend it, and started talking to lobbyists. Then-Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) signed the 15-week ban into law in 2018, and litigation began.
By the time the Supreme Court was considering taking the case, it was early September 2020. Then Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, and Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett, giving a 5-4 court a 6-3 conservative supermajority, with three Justices appointed by Trump — a president who lost the popular vote. The court agreed to hear the case in May 2021, and the rest is history.
That playbook worked for striking down Roe, but the coalition is not done. Dias and Lerer write that ADF, in particular, will “work to restore an understanding of marriage, the family and sexuality that reflects God’s creative order.” First, abortion opponents think Dobbs is not enough; they want a nationwide ban starting at egg fertilization.
[...]
ADF also has its sights set on reversing the 2015 ruling establishing marriage equality, but Waggoner also seems to resent when journalists ask her about Obergefell v. Hodges. (That ruling was 5-4, and two of the Justices in the majority are no longer on the court — you only need four votes out of nine to take a case.) “I’m worried you’re gonna just use a choice little quote, and anybody that reads the article is going to think I’m abandoning Obergefell, and I am not,” she told The New Yorker. “I think it is wrong and it should be reversed, but I don’t wake up in the morning thinking about how to do that.”
The group wants to roll back transgender rights in employment (Bostock v. Clayton County, 2020) and expand parental rights (Troxel v. Granville, 2000) so that parents can override the medical needs of their children with gender dysphoria, The New Yorker reports. ADF is also behind the rash of state laws banning gender-affirming care for minors and trans kids’ participation in sports — the group wrote model legislation. We’re watching a redux of the anti-abortion battle plan in real time. “It’s not that the Court is going to say, ‘Gender ideology is bad,’” Waggoner told The New Yorker. “But I do think the Court could say, ‘Parental rights are fundamental rights.’”
The Fall of Roe book by Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer, a pair of New York Times reporters, takes a vital look at how anti-abortion activists delivered a win for their cause by overturning Roe in Dobbs and that they want more.

Eddie can never be a committed partner because he essentially is still “with” Shannon and he’s giving her all of his emotional attention that should go to his significant other. Until he deals with that, he won’t ever be able to fully commit and all of his relationships will remain lackluster.
ding ding we have a winner. I know a lot of people aren't happy about the cheating storyline for a variety of reasons but they've had so many moments eddie could've/should've realised what he needs to do is let go of shannon/stop putting their very flawed relationship on a pedestal but didn't, that knocking him out of that cycle is going to take something big and messy.
and well "cheating on your gf with a doppleganger of your dead ex-wife," fits that bill better than anything else they've come up with. it's a life shatteringly stupid decision, but imo they're past the point it's believable to resolve the shannon problem with anything normal and like you said, until they do that his relationships are going to fall victim to the same narrative problems.
hopefully this will be a chance for them to break him down and leave him with a bit more room to grow in s8, and ya know what at least this is interesting! personally i'd much rather watch a character blow up their life than be bored by them.
