Fifth grade me would tweak out if she found out the kotlc series isn’t over yet lmao

[watchyourbuck]

Can I be annoying for a sec and say that Eddie went to great lengths to spend time with Kim without her or Marisol finding out who she reminded him off to the point he himself felt like he was losing it bc he couldn’t stop but the minute Buck walks into his kitchen and tells him he’s worried about him in that soft voice of his he comes clean to her

knowing Michael Shannon, I wouldn't be surprised if he did in fact read 'The Garden of Time' by J. G. Ballard and chose this suit as a reference to the end.

[stagefoureddiediaz]

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.

Umitober Day 4 - Letter

"Um... Is... that all of them?"

[chronicowboy]

so. trapped dads of course. you know me. eddie gets knocked out. he wakes up at home, maybe on the beach and shannon's there to tease him about falling alseep in the sun/whilst watching a movie like an old man. and he's so happy to see her. so fucking happy. so he just kind of stares at her for a moment. and she's like im not going to disappear eddie. im right here next to you. and eddie draws the logical conclusion from this and has a bit of a panic like am i dead? are we dead? chris- is buck okay? and shannon's like. im dead, you're still breathing but you have to make a choice, you've gotta go back. and eddie's like i will i will i just. can i have a few more minutes with you? and shannon smiles sadly like. eddie i love you, you know that. so much. and i love that you still love me but you can't spend the rest of your life loving only me. please. you don't deserve to stay married to a ghost. let yourself fall in love please. and eddie goes. im trying im trying it just. she's not you. and shannon looks at him. really fucking looks at him. that's because she's not the answer. the answer's been right under your nose the whole time you just have to wake up and see it. so WAKE UP! and then eddie wakes up and shannon's wake up morphs into buck's and buck is hovering over him all big blue terrified eyes and eddie SEES him and murmurs: buck it's you. and buck's all yeah yeah eddie it's me thought id lost you for a minute there. and eddie on the edge of consciousness, in pain, facing up to that revelation has just enough in him to vow never.
