Reading "A Desolation Called Peace" right now and maaaan it's starting to drive me crazy. First of all - is there seriously nobody else in the great Teixcalani empire to send to initiate first contact with an actively hostile alien species other than THREE SEAGRASS? I'm sorry but how is she remotely qualified for this job? She supposedly looves aliens but when encountering even another human culture only slightly different than her own she starts condescending them immediately; you really think she's going to be a great ambassador for the human race? Send an actual xenobiologist or linguist, come on guys! Well, let's say she was actually qualified - then WHY does she have to bring Mahit along? If Three Seagrass's supposedly sooo great at her job surely she would realize the political implications? You can't just bring a foreign national with uncertain allegiance onto a Teixicalani warship during a literal war!!! No matter if you have a crush on them!! There is absolutely NO reason for Mahit to be there and it's astonishing everyone just went along with it. It feels so contrived - like the only reason she's there is because she was the main character of the previous novel, so of course she has to be the main character of this one, even though at this point she should have nothing to do with Teixcalani's wars because she WENT HOME. Which is another thing I don't understand. Why did she go home in the first place and secondly why is she so surprised that the completely natural consequences of her going home comes back to bite her in the butt? For someone supposedly so clever she is seriously lacking foresight. Like what was her plan exactly? Arrive back in Lsel and hope they don't ask any questions? Of course they're going to ask questions! She literally had one job and now she's no longer doing it - they kind of have a right to know why. And what I don't get is why she doesn't ANSWER those questions right away. Isn't the fact that you have two imagos precisely the sort of thing you would want to consult an imago-expert about? Why keep it a secret? Like what, does she think they're going to toss her out an airlock when they find out? Why would they do that? My impression was that Lsel Station does not like to waste its resources - and she is, after all, a valuable resource. I would have thought they'd want to help her. Give her some of that supposedly famous Lsel pyschotherapy; she certainly needs it! Instead she spends months twiddling her thumbs, then acts all offended when they suggest maybe they should appoint a new ambassador? Like girl, if you don't want them to send a new ambassador maybe you should actually do your job and BE THE AMBASSADOR?? And if you DON'T want to do that anymore that's fine, but it's perfectly reasonable for them to ask you to hand over your imago and get a new job. Like this is a space station with limited resources. They don't need some NEET hanging around - you should probably figure out what you want to do with your life? Anyway those are my main beefs with the novel.

#and i would say the only (?) other time we see eddie that raw and honest (and again. the fact that it takes#this much to get him that raw and honest with Himself) is the unlicensed pyschotherapy#kimshannon scene. she crawled right under his skin and got him to say shit he’d been clinging to for years#ofc then it blew up in his face so um. yeah ig in retrospect him doubling down on all these tendencies in s8 makes a kind of twisted sense (via @semperama)

Sorry, still thinking about this post and my tags on it, and if you think about it, Eddie has been acting like a sheepdog, guiding Buck into the most comfortable, close-enough-but-not-too-close spot in his life from pretty much the very beginning. They are established as partners early on, with them literally promising to have each other's backs, and then proving it when Buck starts helping with Chris in 2x04 and introduces Eddie to Carla. And pretty much starting then, you can see Eddie begin doing this dance. During the tsunami arc, Buck has started to pull away because of his injury, so Eddie drops Chris off with him. And afterward, Buck is blaming himself and prepared to pull away again, and Eddie knows this and shows up and hits him with a, "There's no one in this world I trust with my son more than you."

Then there's the infamous grocery store fight, the first time their partnership is really threatened, and Eddie lashes out and reminds Buck where his place is. ("Do you know how much Chris misses you?" and "I couldn't even call you to bail me out of jail.") Then Buck gets it, and we get the kitchen scene, but while we're all focused on the flirting (for good reason!) what's also happening is that Eddie is deflecting all the real questions. Buck pushes, "If you can't be honest with Frank, at least be honest with me," but Eddie just keeps cracking jokes, and they never really do get to the heart of the matter. Eddie's content that he has Buck back where he needs him; they don't have to actually talk about what happened or why in a real way.

But of course the most obvious time it happens is with the will. And the fact that Eddie puts Buck in his will a year before he tells him about it. He anchors Buck into his and Chris's life, but he only tells Buck when Buck has started to doubt his place during the shooting arc. It's actually an insane choice to put your best friend in your will without even having a conversation about it first, but Eddie can't face that conversation. Not until Buck is trying to place himself farther outside the "Buck Zone of Comfort" that Eddie has drawn in his mind, and then he has to just carefully nudge him riiiight back over the line. You're not expendable, not to me.

(Adding a cut, because this is getting long.)

The reason he's getting all snarly now is because leaving for Texas exposed this dance Eddie's been doing in a way that can't be ignored, because this is the first time Eddie himself has pushed Buck away, rather than some circumstance or NDE or Buck's own issues. If things were normal between them, Eddie could have involved Buck from the beginning, but he couldn't do that without deciding once and for all, is Buck just my friend, or is he more than that? Because if he's just a friend, then he can just help me move and be happy for me. But if he's more than that, then I don't think either of us can handle being apart, but I have no choice. But of course Eddie can't deal with thinking about any of that, so he just puts up a wall between himself and Buck by not talking to him about it at all until Buck finds out, and even then he keeps it minimal (ex: Buck tries to help him pick a house, but in the end Eddie picks one out and puts a down payment on it without consulting Buck at all).

I don't think either of them really gets what's behind it yet. Like, they know that it feels bad for Eddie to leave, but they don't fully understand why. Eddie won't let himself think about it, and Buck I think can't even conceive of the idea that Eddie might care about him that way, mostly because of his own trauma and lack of self-esteem. Eddie probably realizes they've reached a point where he can't position Buck back inside that Zone of Comfort, but I'm not sure if he knows that the only way to do it would be to put a label on what they are to each other, which he will NOT let himself do.

He does still try to do the push-and-pull thing again while he's in Texas with all the FaceTiming. He knows he's made Buck feel expendable again, so he tries to undo that by consulting him on all these big things he crucially did not consult him on before leaving: his job, Chris, his relationship with his parents. He feels more comfortable being emotionally close to Buck when there's all this physical distance between them.

But now, he's back, and Bobby's dead, and everything's more fragile than ever. Buck is closed off to him, so Eddie tries to remind him of his place again by bringing Chris back. But it only sort of works, because what now? They are living in the same house, but they both have this knowledge now of what it feels to be 800 miles apart, and what it feels to not share their grief with each other, and what it feels to not be a family, so they can't really just go back to how things were.

So Eddie does the exact wrong thing. He still plans to go back to El Paso. Even after it seemed like he came back--maybe even came back FOR BUCK--as soon as they're back to the fire station, he pulls out his phone and starts looking for flights. I don't know if we'll see this on screen, but I believe this is the moment that Buck gets it. Eddie has been trying to have it both ways, to keep Buck close but not too close. I doubt either of them really know what that means for how they feel about each other, but I do think Buck gets that he's going to be miserable unless he "lets Eddie go" in some capacity, which is why he starts looking for a new place to live.

I highly doubt Eddie is going to deal with this well, but for the first time, it's going to be basically impossible to fix this without acknowledging how he feels. Looking forward to finding out what it's going to take for him to do that!

i’ll see freud’s oedipus/electra complex somewhere and be like "what a weird idea, you’re highkey projecting your incesti-ness onto everyone else”, but then i remember it’s normalized for girls to call their partner “daddy” during sex and think maybe he was on to something

Dreams never do seem one dimensional. They always have three or four things happening at once, people doing extraordinary things with so much ease and the sky is never blue either. Last night, I had a really interesting one. I was in a penthouse apartment, overlooking a city of stained glass. I had friends over that resembled people I had met before but they acted differently. I was out of place, I could feel it. Then this family came home. It was their house, I could feel the extreme comfort in their walks, they stared at me with concerned blue eyes (although I could swear they changed from blue to grey to green). I felt compelled to stay but at the same time, I wanted nothing more than to run... for their sake. The mother was french and the father? Couldn’t tell you what he was because he never uttered a single word in my dream. The mother was so nice, so caring and so relaxed. I could feel the time slip when I was with her. That doesn’t usually happen, I’m always counting the seconds of a day unless I’m with someone who lifts my attention to other things. The mother and father had four children. Three girls and one boy. One girl was into marine ecosystems, her sister had a knack for music writing and the last girl was particularly gifted with whittling though she was mute. The boy? Didn’t meet him, he went into the study of his father and never came out. I heard crying from the mother but that was all of his existence I witnessed. I had the strangest feeling of grief in my chest when I would come across his pictures. It’d hurt so much. I enjoyed the sisters company, in a slightly sad sense I felt at home and their eyes would for some reason never meet mine. Their eyes were kaleidoscopic, maybe meeting them would be a mistake, it was incredibly intimidating how powerful they seemed to be. I didn’t notice it in the dream but when i was awake I remembered that in the background there wasn’t anything on the walls. No paintings, no memorabilia or any type of decor. Only olive green walls accented with some burgundy type of wood. The floor was tile, not really something I liked. Towards the end of the dream, I heard it, the mother was singing a french song and she sang it so beautifully, I couldn’t help but gaze towards the sky while she sang and I was immediately overwhelmed with a feeling I can only compare with to being shot in the heart... I could only understand a few words in the song but I could tell she was singing it with a personal experience in mind. The end of the dream was a lot more abstract. I saw images, broken, like a projector was ripped from its home. I saw three girls in cages, crying with hands on the glass, their eyes had been taken. A saw a mother and father standing on the edge of a buildings terrace, facing the sea on the horizon and turning towards me to lend a hand, beckoning me forward. The last thing I saw was myself, in the middle of the night, on a beach looking into waters. A girl with red hair walking away, a little person made of stars on her shoulder, the sand rising with every step she took until she was above the clouds and far from my sight. A slow motion slideshow of this repeated for what seemed like a whole day until I woke up. *sigh*

This one.

Today I felt restless. Anxious. More unsettled than normal. Eventually the feelings settled and I got on with my day.

It wasn’t until I picked up this book again that I realised where it was coming from, because once I opened it up the feelings started again.

I’ve told you guys that this book is amazing and worth the read, but as someone who isn’t easily triggered, know that it may unsettle you. The detail he goes into means that a lot of people with a mental health diagnosis may see themselves in here, and it may bring up some stuff for you.

So as much as I love this book, proceed with caution if you’re more patient than clinician...

Have been waiting forever to get started reading this one!

(Thanks to whoever it was that suggested it! Was it you @mashupofmylife ??)

Ever since corona started last year my brain has been a total trainwreck. tried pyschotherapy for a few months and it helped a little with anxiety and panic attacks but not the depression. I'll have to go to a psychiatrist. I'm an introvert by nature but this loneliness for the past year is indescribable. I just wanted to say how much IF books and authors like yourself have helped me immensely in this pandemic time. You are light and I love you!

*hugs* I must admit I *do* hope things will start looking up for real and with no monkey's paw setbacks soon. would be nice.

working 40 hour weeks in hospitality isn’t leaving me with a lot of brain power to figure out what tf I want to do career wise... I feel like being in the education system has been a life float and now that I’ve left it (even if temporarily) I feel so lost at sea,,, I’m considering taking an MA in Art Pyschotherapy to become an Art Therapist but I still have doubts about myself, about my capabilities,,, there’s something really crushing about knowing I’m a good illustrator and not knowing what to do with my skills or my degree??? and my parents being like ‘why tf are you sitting on potential like that’,,, I think I’ll start attending my university’s alumni talks and go from there- it’s just all so much right now mentally
