#Eddie is just in the corner being tortured in like a jig-saw trap or something

[kitkatpancakestack]

I know we all talk abt how much the universe hates Eddie Diaz but it really is so funny to me. And sorry if that's insensitive but it just makes me laugh. Like everybody goes through it in this show but even during moments of perceived respite Eddie is still rotating like a rotisserie chicken in the fires of hell. this man went to war and almost died, was on the brink of a custody dispute with his parents, chased his wife to LA, watched his wife die, has been haunted by all his unlived lives the entire time, almost died AGAIN, has admitted to not knowing what happiness feels like, almost killed a man street fighting, has massive survivor's guilt, is Catholic, stalked a doppelganger of his dead wife, cannot maintain a functional relationship, has now come narratively full circle back to the custody dispute with his parents, and finds himself ALONE bc even his SON, the one person Eddie keeps himself alive and kicking for, doesn't want to be around him, and like. whewww jesus. my man isn't even in a soap opera at this point he's stuck in a psychological horror show get him outttt.
