#free Shannon

I just want Shannon to be able to add flesh to her silly little guys without being pressured by deadlines or weird editors or publishers or anything goddamn bro

no one haunts the narrative like they do they've got the narrative in a chokehold 7 years later

The Helena diaz of it all has me fascinated. I’ve said for a long while that Eddie’s real issues are his mommy issues and this episode just cemented for me that we’re gonna explore that and deal with it.

Because it’s Helena who forced Eddie to grow up to fast - because her husband wasn’t around much - so she pushed Eddie into de facto parent and husband role ls - selfishly filling her needs and ignoring the damage it was doing to her son (it is a form of abuse in my book).

Eddie then had the audacity to fall in love with and marry Shannon and get her pregnant. It’s why Helena was always so off with Shannon - she was punishing her. She is also punishing Eddie for all of this and his refusal to return to El Paso only cemented further her bitterness and resentment.

Now she does have Ramon back she doesn’t need Eddie any longer to fill that role so she is still punishing him and part of that is tied into her glee over now getting to parent Christopher - something she has always been intent on doing the doppelgänger just gave her the opportunity- as well as allowing her to further punish her son and his love of Shannon.

Her barbed comments about building a pool were all about showing what she can provide Christopher - how she is parenting him better than Eddie - it’s part of her mind games - making Eddie feel like more of a failure as a parent to his son.

The reality of course is that the reverse is true - Helena’s parenting is all superficial, flash and showy - it isn’t the hard day to day parenting when things get tough and you have to be the bad guy. While Eddie has made mistakes, there is nothing superficial, flash, or showy about his parenting. It’s why bucks comments about Eddie being a great dad are so important.

Eddie feel like a failure right now and that he is entirely to blame for everything. But in reality, while he does bear a bit of the responsibility, the truth of the matter is that he needs to learn and deal with the fact that all of it actually stems from Helena and her abuse of her young son - Shannon never stood a chance just like Eddie never has.

you’ve got to be careful reading fantasy books that are also romances because when the horny scenes arrive they’ll say shit like “i had a dream you were still a godsinger, and i was your shrine” and “i may not be your queen, but i am yours, and you will find that i can be very generous”

and if I said Alvar and Cassius are given more sympathy, and deeper motivations, and understanding for their actions after literally being abusers by the narrative, than Fitz... what then...

mm so based on shannon’s latest instagram post i’m casting my guess right now; i think keeper #10 will be the final book, but it won’t be coming out until 2026. that being said i could definitely be wrong. because shannon’s deadlines could make a raccoon throw itself off of a bridge.

i think my breaking point if I was told I was an elf and whisked away to the lost cities would be the leggings. like okay. my family isn't my family, there's a whole secret world, i'm the creation of a rebel organization, there's a different rebellion trying to kill me, the world is rotting from the inside out, okay. I can cope. it'd be annoying and difficult but I could cope. but you want me to wear leggings with everything? under skirts and dresses? with every outfit? no. fuck off I'm out I can't do this anymore

Calling it now - this episode is going to really play on the buck wanting kids and Eddie and his constant saving children (and his want for more kids) and play on them wanting to give kids what they didn’t get themselves as children - that’s why Eddie is always first in to save kids and why we’re getting a buck and Jee baking scene.

It’s all about parenthood - the desire to be a parent (to have their kid back).

I think the sperm donor arc might be coming back into play for buck - and be part of the issues that arise with tommy - buck wanting kids v Tommy not wanting them etc.

So Eddie wants "Chemistry". That's what he believes in. He wants what he had with Shannon, and yes he loved her to a certain degree, but it cannot be denied their relationship was NOT healthy, likely never was healthy, and was never going to be healthy. Hence why Shannon asked for a divorce, since she seemed to be the only one at the time who could recognize their relationship for what it was.

And Eddie himself fell into this trap when Shannon came back, feeling this "chemistry" with her that resulted in them falling into bed together multiple times, but never actually fixing or growing their personal relationship. Never mending their trust issues. It's just funny that Eddie was saying he wanted what he had with Shannon, when even he admits that it wasn't a healthy relationship. I'm not saying he's not allowed to look back on his relationship with her fondly, but I truly can't help but feel like he looks back on his ROMANTIC relationship with her with rose-colored glasses.

Now back to Chemistry. It's kind of a nebulous phrase, doesn't really have a clear meaning. To me, chemistry is often something that comes in the early stages of a relationship. Kind of like infatuation, or butterflies or "magic" like Eddie says (let's be fucking real Eddie and Shannon were not magic).

I'll bring it back to this chart:

Any way you look at it, it comes out like this.

Eddie:

Shannon- highly emotional, idealistic, weakened by separation, seeking to find happiness, in love with "emotion".

Ana- sudden, idealistic, based on a feeling, seeking to find happiness, focusing on external looks (ie. she's exact what I should want), seeking to get

Marisol- sudden, idealistic, based on a feeling, seeking to find happiness, seeking to get

Buck:

Abby- highly emotional, idealistic, weakened by separation, seeking to find happiness, focusing on external looks, in love with "emotion"

Ali- sudden, idealistic, weakened by separation, seeking to get

Taylor- highly emotional, based on a feeling, seeking to find happiness, focusing on external looks, seeking to get

Natalia- literally the entire "infatuation" column.

Now Buck and Eddie? I could write a dissertation on how they fit into literally every single point listed in the "love" column.

Still thinking of the post about Devin Kelley coming back to play Buddie’s wedding planner and no one except Buck notices the resemblance,,, like god,,, it lives rent free in my head
