Eddie’s got a stutter. It comes out when he’s anxious or stressed, makes him trip over certain syllables and work to get his words out.
Eddie’s got a stutter. Not many people in Hawkins know that, and none of the Party do at all.
Why would they? He trained himself out of it soon after he moved there, way before he met any of them. The only people who know are Wayne (because he's the first person who never rushed Eddie) and the guys in Corroded Coffin (there's one night during Eddie's second senior year that none of them talk about.)
Wayne doesn’t talk to most people, and the Corroded Coffin guys keep Eddie’s secrets, just like he keeps theirs.
(If he thinks about it too long, Eddie gets a little misty-eyed at how lucky he is to have them.)
Eddie's mostly good about the stutter. He's good about realizing which words he'll stutter over and swerving to avoid them. He's good about keeping it under control. He's good about playing it off when it does come up. 
It’s a delicate dance, one that needs a good vocabulary and improv skills. Eddie’s got both in spades.
So, no one knows. Because no one has seen him stressed enough to not pay that constant attention to keeping his words smooth, to grasping for another word if his next one is going to give him trouble.
Until he wakes up in the hospital after the bats attempted to eat him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and can't get any words out. 
Steve and Dustin, who were sitting in the chairs beside the bed, start freaking out. Eddie's trying to tell them it's not a head injury or any weird Upside Down shit, but he can't get the words out.
Dustin is talking about traumatic brain injuries, and Steve is looking at him with a way too knowing look in his eyes - they should unpack that later - and Eddie is trying to tell them to slow down but nothing is coming out.
Until Wayne comes in, and Eddie just stops trying and looks at him.
It’s like he’s a kid again, freshly new to Hawkins, and Wayne thought he was mute for two weeks because every time Eddie tried to talk, he couldn’t do it right, not really, so he gave up trying at all.
Wayne didn’t. And Wayne waited, which was more than anyone else did.
Now, Wayne just puts his hand on Eddie’s shoulder, just like he used to, and says, "breathe." 
The words come a little easier after that.

So a lot of political scandals just dropped in the last 24 hours
-NC Governor Candidate Mark Robinson's online posts were found, including some VERY graphic descriptions (like seriously, do not read if you're not 18) of him cheating on his wife, calling himself a black Nazi, and expressing support for reinstituting slavery. His email address was also found on Ashley Madison
-Robert F Kennedy Jr was revealed to be cheating on his wife with a reporter (and that isn't even the weirdest thing since federal law enforcement opened an investigation into him allegedly cutting off the head of a whale and taking it home with him less than 24 hours ago)
-GOP Senate candidate who is the CEO of a bank has been found accepting millions of dollars from what seem to allegedly be Mexican drug cartels.
-Finally, probably the biggest bombshell, according to multiple eyewitness testimonies within sealed sworn affadavits, Congressman Matt Gaetz allegedly invited a 17-year-old girl to a drug-fueld sex party
And we haven't even hit October, folks. Again, these are all still breaking news stories, so things are subject to change, but oh man oh man.

(ID in ALT Text) Happy very, very late Mother's Day!
I am not saying that zuko is sokkas substitute for kya. or they look in any way similar! The whole concept here is that something was happening at the moment, be it how they were laying in bed, how the hair pooled over the pillow, or how sokka was able to hold onto it. It just brought sokka back. It triggered a memory, and suddenly he relived a brief memory. Making him suddenly miss his mother again. hope you enjoy!

Oh look, it seems everyone has been opted into the unfortunate "experiment" now. For everyone who has been blissfully using the old UI up until now, welcome to hell :)
Do you not like hell? Do you want to leave and crawl back up into the sunlight of the old UI? Well, have I got a link for you! A beautiful tumblr user (who is not me) has gone and fixed things beautifully for you already: https://github.com/enchanted-sword/dashboard-unfucker
You will need to have Tampermonkey installed on your browser of choice, and once that's done, just go to the github link above, and peruse the readme to install. And voila! You have your old dash back!
The authors of XKit Rewritten said during the experiments that at the time, since this was an "experiment" they weren't going to implement anything to revert to the old UI (although who knows if they'll do it now). And the dashboard unfucker has worked beautifully enough for me to where I genuinely couldn't tell if they had ended the experiment or not.
