finally getting around to watching cunk on earth and it’s so funny. i love it

[martyreddie]

one thing i absolutely love about eddie is the fact that he is always on the lookout for ways to sacrifice himself for the people he loves. girlfriend pregnant? i'll provide for her by risking my life in the military. twice. without asking first. my traumatised son is scared that my job is too dangerous? i will transfer to another one that makes me deeply miserable. also without asking first. can't seem to fall in love with my new girlfriend even though my kid loves her? guess i'll just stick it out. my parents hate my wife even after her death? i will push down every bit of anger i ever felt at her and defend her like a rabid dog. hell, i will romanticise that relationship so bad that I literally cannot move on from her and am haunted by her ghost in both a metaphorical and literal way for years to come. and when, as the crowning result of all my disregard for my personal well-being and healing, my kid has run to texas, and now he does not seem to want to come home? i will bear every bit of pain and embarrassment his obvious disdain and my parents' flagrant disinterest in letting us heal from this causes me, and if that doesn't work, i will upend my entire life, forsake every bit of progress I have ever made, and come crawling back to the city i grew up in. without asking first, of course.

eddie diaz will see a cross, ask "is anyone going to die on that thing?" and then not wait for an answer

there’s like. something to be said about shannon abuela and chris going for ice cream together right before disaster, and eddie marisol and chris going for ice cream…possibly right before disaster

[chronicowboy]

on the one hand i do love mess but also. im so glad they cut the eddie kim/shannon kiss (not getting into the whole thing of kim only being kissed once she's playing shannon because oh boy) but that hug. i just feel like that hug was so much More than a kiss you know. did so much more. that hug was for him. that hug probably took him back to when they were just kids blushing and fumbling their way through crushes on their best friend. that hug was a comfort and an apology and a goodbye all at once. that hug will probably be the start of him being able to let her go because now he's held her one last time.

[eddiebabygirldiaz]

okay but eddie has been chasing the feeling of that day on the lake for most of his life. throughout his relationship with shannon, when she left, after her death, in every step he's tried to take to move on that has only planted him further back in the past. he's held that memory close and cherishes it and THAT is the feeling that to him is better than anything, that is so romanticized, that can't be recreated no matter what he does and he's left alone with it and how fucking devastating that must feel. eddie diaz just wants the simplicity and ease he got to sip at in his youth and he wants the world to fall away while he becomes consumed by someone else. oh baby, oh darlin

Since Lost is coming back to Netflix I need to speak my truth: Lost is not a confusing show, and the ending makes perfect sense.

You didn't get the ending? Skill issue. Couldn't be me.

[my-brain-soup]

YOURE TELLING ME THAT THE SCENE I KEPT SEEING WITH BUCK AND EDDIE TAKING THEIR SON CHRISTOPHER TO SEE SANTA WAS WHILE SHANNON WAS AROUND???

I THOUGHT THAT WAS LATER IN THE SERIES, THE WIFE AND MOTHER IS THERE???

THEY HAVE TO BE PLANNING THIS FOR BUDDIE, RIGHT???

Ultraman Rising is not only the best case scenario so far for more western Ultra productions, but it's also more proof we need to let animation veterans cook with superhero movies.

[pengillys]

[notnowtobey]

I can’t help but think about how the last time Eddie was near death and imagining Shannon (in the well collapse), he also thought about Buck a lot. And that led to him realizing how important Buck is to him and Chris, and he put Buck in his will soon after.

So I’m imagining we get Ghost of Future Shannon appearing to Eddie. Maybe when he’s having another near death experience or maybe just a dream. And he is finally allowed to get some closure. To talk TO Shannon about her dying and how he really feels about it.

And then I feel like they could talk about the Chris of it all. Eddie admitting he’s doing everything he can for Chris, even sacrificing his own happiness. Eddie talking about trying to find a replacement for Shannon, another mother for Chris and another wife for him. He’s been following all the steps, doing what he’s supposed to, and he asks her why it isn’t working?? And she has to very gently take off his rose colored glasses, and remind him how much work their relationship took. It wasn’t magic, it wasn’t perfect. And it probably wasn’t meant to last. And maybe recreating their relationship shouldn’t be his goal.

I want to see Shannon asking how Chris is doing, and Eddie can’t stop the smile when he talks about him. He can’t stop himself from mentioning Buck and the latest thing they’ve been doing. He can’t stop talking about Buck and how much he’s been there for him and Chris.

And Shannon just knows. And Eddie knows. And then he wakes up.

[aashiqeddiediaz]

do you ever think about how much it hurts eddie when chris expresses how much of his mother he's beginning to lose. because we know that he does his best to keep her memory alive, that they go to her grave and they talk openly about her. but there are things that eddie will never be able to replicate for him - her voice, the way she smelled, the way she'd walk towards him, how she felt when she held him close, etc - and chris will continue to lose those details even if eddie talked about shannon 24/7 for the rest of his life.

that is a sort of helplessness that i don't think anyone talks about enough, and that makes eddie's expression when he overhears chris talking to buck all the more wounded

[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.
