#eddie screams into the void

[eddieisashifter]

how do you explain to an alloromantic person the desire to have an intense emotional connection with someone, but not romantically?

Like, you're my soulmate, but not in the way where we're lovers. You're my soulmate as in you're like an extension of myself, the person I can't imagine living without. The air in my lungs, the ground beneath my feet. The eye of my storm.

You're my best friend in the greatest definition of the word. My love, but not my lover.

When you're so devoted to someone that the lines of platonic and romantic become completely irrelevant.

Everytime reg and james interact in my moonseeker fic my brain goes

this fic isn't about them this fic isn't about them this fic isn't about them this fic isn't about them

[eddieisashifter]

ughh so real. I was so focused on shifting to my youtuber/streamer dr and now I'm not. I feel bad, like I disappointed the people in that reality.

But, I think it's just a sign that's not where I'm supposed to be right now.

slowly changing my main dr is so painful.

i'm grieving a place i never went, love i never had, friends i never met. and it hurts because i was so excited to be there. to be with them. and now im not. i've moved on to something else and i feel sad.

If a tree falls in the woods a man realizes he’s queer and in love with his best friend but no one is around to hear it he’s alone in a state 800 miles away, does it make a sound?

8 days a week (E, 6k)

A sweet moment of weakness helps Buck and Eddie get together. While Eddie doesn’t expect much to change about their relationship, Buck slips back into old patterns.

or: eddie notices all the ways buck tries to make himself smaller

this fic means a lot to me and I'm actually proud of how it turned out (what a feeling!). thank you to everyone who reads it and supports me 🥰

read on ao3

tagging @djdangerlove and @cryscabbage because you were so excited for the premise of this fic, it made me want to finish it 💛 I hope you'll like it *shaking like a leaf*

Friends, moots, strangers.

Anyone know if there's any Downton Abbey Steddie out there?

Alternatively, Tommy keeps hanging out with Eddie and realizes how Eddie is absolutely ass over teakettle in love with Buck and he goes to Buck and says something like "I think you should take a chance with him, maybe it's not so one-sided after all" because Eddie has decided he's not gonna be the one to break whatever it is they have between them and wants Buck to make the move

[i-have-zero-chill]

and when Buck dances with Tommy at the madney wedding and Eddie watches from afar all by himself with a longing look on his face THEN WHAT????

[solarsunshine]

okay steddie nation™️, i need assistance! do any of y’all have fic recs where steve comes out/is aware of his fruitiness first? i’m trying to deep dive into the fandom and i just can’t conceive eddie being more experienced than steve in that manner, like robin would’ve pulled the truth out of stevie long before eddie would’ve figured his own shit out lmao. any assistance will be rewarded with my everlasting adoration 🫶🏽

[eddieisashifter]

a fellow magnus chase shifter!! :0 helloooo.

would it be okay if you maybe possibly if you wanted to only, introduced the dr. 🥹 i need some inspo :)

yee!! of course! I'm still working on it, but here's what I've got so far!

In my Magnus Chase dr, I'm a child of Loki like Sam and Alex. I think I'm leaning towards the idea that I knew I was a demigod when I was alive, my dad would have told me (not Loki, the bastard himself, my mortal dad lmao)

I'm trying to come up with a specific death scenario, I'm sort of flipping between a few (though, Sam is definitely my Valkyrie). But, nonetheless, I end up on Floor 19 with the gang. I imagine that I get to Valhalla a few years before Magnus does, that way I really understand the world at the time that I shift there.

Alex and I become besties, obviously, but I'm also pretty close with Mallory (which is always a good time because I'm Scottish so our cultures have a lot in common).

My magic is also a bit different than Sam or Alex's. Opposed to shapeshifting being my main ability, though I can make minor adjustments to my appearance, my main magic is... illusions! (imagine Loki's magic in the MCU)

In terms of plot, It's mainly the same as the books. The only change being that I take Magnus' place in the final battle of Ship of the Dead and defeat Loki myself (karma's a bitch, sucka) because I continue to make myself the main character in my DRs because why the fuck not

The best thing about a post-apocalyptic fic is that you can kill people in the most batshit unhinged way and blame it on the aliens

I always make a point to listen very closely to what the lyrics are saying in the music over certain scenes because 911 is ANYTHING but subtle when it comes to their music choices.

The song that's playing during the montage of Eddie trying and failing to make a connection with women while golfing/hiking is interesting.

"I got High hopes, high hopes , That tomorrow's where it all begins , I'll be somebody's daughter , I'll be somebody's friend , I'll be somebody's part-time lover again , Chased by the devil down a one-way street , Made it out alive , Now I'm back on my feet , I got high hopes"

These lyrics are so interesting to me because it's once again placing Eddie only in relation to who he can be to other people. A son, a friend, a father. Never just him.

But what also stood out to me was the lines "somebody's part-time lover again" and "chased by the devil down a one-way street".

I googled both these phrases and didn't really find much "official" meaning.

But to me "somebody's part-time lover" really does encapsulate how all of Eddie's romantic relationships on the show have been. You see bits and pieces of it, flashes, like his romantic relationships are a sideplot in his own life. I also took it to mean feeling half-hearted about a relationship you're in too. Like how with Ana he was going through the motions, like how in this very montage he's forcing himself once again to go through the motions of trying to force a meet-cute, like he will once again with Marisol by the end of the season. Marisol once again feels like something shoehorned, something forced, someone for Eddie to be another "part-time lover" to.

The other line "chased by the devil down a one-way street" to me, indicates running from a supposed "devil" (ie. something you believe to be 'bad'), repressing something 'wrong' about yourself that you refuse to acknowledge. And the "one way street" to me indicates an illusion of only being able to go in one direction, feeling like you can only be able to take one path, and why does he run as fast as he can down this one-way street? Because's he running from the "devil", the thing he's repressing, the thing he won't let himself acknowledge. Because, Eddie, you're running. You're not in a car. You can choose to turn around and walk in the other direction, you just refuse to face this illusionary "devil".

Even the portion of the song that we're supposed to be paying attention to, the "high hopes" part, feels off. Because high hopes usually lead to what? Disappointment. "High Hopes" are expectations, literally. By the end of this montage every one of his "hopes" are dashed. Eddie has these expectations for himself that he wants to live up to, but when he can't, he'll just feel more disappointed. He'll have these high hopes about a relationship with Marisol only to be let down because he thinks he'll develop this deep, amazing connection with her but more than likely he just won't because those kinds of relationships DO NOT (I emphasize again they DO NOT) happen that quickly looking at you Evan "she sees me better than anyone after 1 date" Buckley.

It's just interesting that the song that's supposed to represent Eddie really moving on and being open to love and putting himself out there centers on only who the person is in relation to others, half-hearted romantic relationships, and running from something repressed.
