fwiw I agree that Eddie doesn’t have internalized homophobia but I don’t think Eddie “finding joy” in 806 precludes his coming out from being angsty. 
#ALSO DONT GET ME WRONG I don’t think his parents are nearly as important as fans make it out to be#this arc is about Eddie and Christopher#I just also don’t think it’s far fetched for Helena to be mad/upset if Eddie is gay#I only speak about Helena bc the show hasn’t taken any effort to show she’s changed bc Eddie views her with rose colored glasses lmao#idk my thoughts make no sense I’m happy to discuss with ppl I just saw a post and wanted to agree and disagree at the same time#like Eddie saying he’s choosing joy and then 2’eoisodes later crashing out and moving to Texas shows that he’s not fully there yet#BUT AGAIN#I don’t like the take that Eddie has internalized homophobia#that’s different from Eddie thinking he doesn’t deserve the things that make him happy#like that has nothing to do with him being gay idk#hope I make sense#but again happy to explain further and to chat about it#im hesitant to post this bc i do think that the fandom at large picks & chooses when to engage with Eddie’s identity as Mexican American man#and I do think that ppl are projecting stereotypes of Hispanic men onto Eddie and his dad wrt homophobia#but I’m specifically thinking of Helena bc of the parentificstiin of Eddie and how that impacted his dynamic w his mom#And AGAIN I think the fandom makes Eddie into this mean angry broody hateful man and I don’t think that’s him#I just also think that his arc is gonna have angst not about him being homophobic of misogynistic or anything#but Eddie doesn’t think he deserves the things that bring him joy still#808 shows that lol#ended up writing like a whole essay in the tags lol#this makes no sense probably LOL I’m sure I’ll delete it in like 5 min#also not predicting anything the only time I’m gonna. complain is if Eddie’s arc is literally JUST about buck
