something that I think might’ve fixed part of the pacing issue with this season is if its events happened over the course of multiple weeks. from episode two to the finale, the whole story has spanned like a week(?) maximum? while season one happened over multiple weeks.
the timeline being more spread out would’ve helped a lot with the fact that there are so many conversations we don’t see on screen, and there are a lot of events happening that should’ve taken longer than five days (thinking specifically about our overarching plot with Zheng and Ricky, how the fuck did all of episodes 6 and 7 happen in 48 hours).
the healing that everyone is doing is GREAT and I love it, but I think we’ve all noticed how rushed it feels. the vast majority of the rushing and pacing mistakes are because of max and the budget cuts, but the timeline doesn’t help. the arcs of characters like izzy, lucius, and tbh even ed and stede would’ve benefitted a lot if there were larger time skips in this season.

Do you have any more Eddie dear headcanons you wanna share?
Im sorry for being annoying about him, I don’t get to talk about welcome home a lot so when I do I get really excited :>
No you're so good! I will always take the opportunity to talk about my favorite goober :D
First, Eddie sews! Can't remember how canon this is, I could be tricking myself haha. But I think Eddie has so many little hobbies and sewing is one of them!
He makes all sorts of things: New ties, shirts, dresses, etc! For himself and for his friends!
He and Poppy make sweaters and scarves for everyone together during winter :)
I also like to think he's made Frank a bowtie and/or vest as a gift,, sigh what a loving husband
Speaking of Frank, Eddie uses so many pet names for his husband. Darling, love, sweetie/sweetheart, sugar, puddin', bug, honey/hun, pumpkin. just so many southern petnames
Another hobby of his is obviously crafts, but he really likes origami! It's fun/relaxing and keeps his hands busy when things are slow. Also he can make gifts! A win win!
cough is also helps with his fine motor skills, hand eye coordination struggle is real cough
This man is so autistic adhd to me. His forgetfulness and clumsiness is all part of it. As someone with audhd I can't walk anywhere without getting a bruise from running into things lol. So I'm projecting a bit haha
Mail is his hyperfixation. Eddie can tell you everything and anything about mail/postal history, including stamps. Point to a stamp in his collection he can tell you the year it was made, where, and who. Plus anything else he may know about it.
He loves thriller novels and dramas. And sappy romance novels. He's probably read Frankenstein and Dracula a bunch of times. And he would absolutely read Twilight. Dunno if he'd like it, but he would read it lol
my gen z youth is showing,, idk when vhs was the most common/around but Eddie would have a vhs collection. He'd have the og Frankenstein on vhs and would treasure it. Again, my time is off so just pretend
Also if it's not obvious, Frankenstein is his favorite classic monster story. He feels for the Monster bc Eddie thinks he's so misunderstood. Honestly he probably relates a bit. Also makes a banger costume lol
Eddie would do drag more if he had the time, I think. (Also if the times were more accepting cough-) He likes to feel pretty!
cough I have so many he/she Eddie thoughts but that's another post for another day
Very uncomfortable around bugs/insects but has come to terms with butterflies after spending so much time with Frank.
Similar note, Eddie would never hurt a bug (on purpose) he just calls Frank to safely relocate it. He may not like them, but he meant it when he said he'd never hurt a fly!
Oh I could keep going but I fear I'll dive into au territory lol. I have a habit of updating technology/times/etc with fandoms that take place before the 2000s yikes

youre freaking kidding
i didnt know how i would feel about the deaf component of this show, considering gemini is a hearing person playing a deaf character and i wasnt sure how to feel about that
but oh my freaking goodness his own freaking mother hasnt even bothered to learn freaking sign language
she just makes him write everything on a notepad. and that doesnt even happen often cos shes barely ever home. and his dad is also barely in his life
li ming has known heart for a few months, and he can already talk to heart at an almost fluent level
and yet his own freaking mother cant even be bothered to learn a couple signs so she can have a worthwhile freaking conversation with her freaking SON
its been THREE FREAKING YEARS
LEARN SOME FREAKING SIGN LANGUAGE YOU STUPID WOMAN
