#the boys s4 ep8

[cssammyyarts]

“eew hughie fell for the shapeshifters lies !!” like you wouldn’t too 💀💀💀 like, maybe they’d act a lil off but would you Really think “Oh no my partners a shapeshifter” JUST because they act weird for a moment? your first thought would be to ask “hey u ok ur acting odd..,, :(“ and guess what the shapeshifter (the one hughie encountered) would fix their fuckin act based on wha YOU thought was off. Dude. The shapeshifter can read minds every time Hughie thought Shapeshifter Annie was acting weird they probably just corrected themself.

Bum ass hoe.

he was also recently sexually assaulted too btw?? so like he could’ve just not noticed, too preoccupied in just getting comfort and being treated nicely by who he thought was his gf. God FORBID… 💀💀 victmin blamey ass behaviour.

bts by ross

hawkins family photo

shawn levy

i’ll write it out cuz it’s just a lot

will on the roof of radio station

shawn levy directong one of the last episodes, but not the final one, so probably like 6 or 7

some photos of locations and cars, the caption was lyrics to song Boys Don’t Cry by The Cure, poster to this song was in Will’s room in s4

duffers posted board with title Chapter 8, so they’re probably going to direct that episode and it also probably means that they’re not filming by episodes

im not really sure how is it with the directing, idk if the duffers will direct ep8 or itll be someone else, but its not shawn levy, so i really dont know

[mrwoodchucklover81]

full(er) house facts that I had saved (mostly about joey) (some of these are barely facts, mostly observations my part)

Jesse's favorite color is black (s1 ep22 "DJ Tanner's day off")

joey has an uncle named jasper (s6 ep10 "I'm not dj") but it's not confirmed if he's a maternal or paternal uncle

DJ does not appear in s6 ep19 "subterranean graduation blues" due to Candace Cameron spending time with her brother, Kirk Cameron, making Stephanie the only character to appear in every episode of both full and fuller House!

Joeys uncle cuts his hair in full house (s6 ep10 "im not DJ) but in Fuller House, it's implied he let's cosmetology students cut his hair (s2 ep13 "happy new year baby"

Danny and Wendy Tanner's dad is never shown in the series, only mentioned a few times by danny, like the fact he took danny and joey fishing when they were (s7 ep17 "the last dance") or that he threw like a girl (s4 ep15 "ol brown eyes)

mr rooty zero getting discontinued in Fuller House s3 ep18 "here comes the sun" is very similar to vanilla weasels getting discontinued in full house s8 ep13 "the producer"

Danny and jackson(?) Are ticklish (for danny s3 ep23 "fraternity reunion")

Joeys god awful kids are named after comedians

Phyllis (diller), (jerry) Lewis, Joan (rivers), and Jerry (seinfeld)

joeys parents divorced when he was 6

both jesse and danny were in the boys glee club in high school (though at different times), danny was president and Jesse did it in place of sports (s3 ep8 "divorce court

on the topic of high school, joey was his schools mascot, Ollie the fighting oyster (s3 ep 8 "divorce court")

joey had a belch jar that had nearly enough money to afford a condo (s8 ep 18 "we got the beats")

Joey had imaginary sibling growing up due to not having any real ones, including one named Leon (s1 s2 "our very first night")

joeys favorite ride at Disney world is space mountain, he apparently loves it more than his kids

What is your top five Krycek moments in canon?

sorry, these are literally (almost) all just krycek suffering. but that boy was built to be put in Situations.

s5 ep14: krycek cuffed to some pipe with the well manicured man wringing out water from a rag for him to drink? that's my jam. that's the flavor.

s4 ep8: i mean. do i even have to explain what krycek & skinner do to me? like, all of tunguska really Does It For Me, but it's the whole balcony scene is where it's at. adding skinner into the mix just... chefs kiss.

s3 ep16: stuck :(

s4 ep9: ouch :)

s8 ep20: this bit where krycek just absolutely NAILS billy miles with his car in rescue of mulder & scully. it's such a perfect seeking-help-from-one-villain-because-he's-better-than-the-other-worse-villain moment/trope.

[ask me my top 5 anything]

[venusasnb]

[aprillikesthings]

Man I got through that last one fast

s4 ep8 Boys' Night Out

(This one took way longer but also I stopped partway through bc Mal the cat had zoomies and I must appease him with the laser pointer)

ALSO this ended up with multiple Our Flag Means Death references, you're welcome

Glimmer etc. save a bunch of sea elf people from a little village as Hordak destroys it, roll intro

Apparently Double Trouble is refusing to tell them anything more

also they're still arguing about Glimmer going off on her own

also Mermista is taking a long bath and eating all the ice cream in Bright moon apparently

But yeah more arguing with Glimmer, and specifically getting mad at any hint of Adora telling her what to do

Which reminds me of a quote I copy/pasted into my fic notes (I do not remember where I got it I just know Nate said it)

"I think Adora has a huge character flaw where when she feels responsible for someone, she'll do anything to protect them to the point of fencing them in and accidentally taking away their agency. She thinks this is something that she's supposed to do, and I don't think she's fully addressed this part of herself. Catra and Glimmer think it comes from her ego, but she was raised to believe she was only worth anything to anyone if she was useful to them, so really she's just trying to prove herself to them. To prove that she's worth existing, even."

and like

ouch

but yeah it's hardcore on display here

Swift Wind invites himself along lol

lol

Hordak is a big dick, is gonna try to conquer more of Etheria himself so he looks all badass when Horde Prime shows up, orders Catra back to the Fright Zone

and she's stressed out and smooths out her hair D:

the bit of this character being asleep, getting elbowed awake, and iMMEDIATELY starting to play is so funny

why does Swift Wind know the words

new headcanon: Sea Hawk was a stripper at some point

*adds to "this wasn't meant to be a Sex Joke...probably"* collection

THE PHRASING DOESN'T HELP

Look I make so many jokes about cartoon bondage, and here Sea Hawk PAID SOMEONE TO TIE HIM UP AND PRETEND TO KIDNAP HIM I just

I can't even add to that lolol

something something insert "Our Flag Means Death"-based joke here

Swift Wind: I will contact Adora via MAGIC

back to Bright Moon

Adora: "what is going on with you? I know things are bad right now, but we can fix it!" Glimmer: "Why is that always your answer to everything!" Adora:

If you don't let me fix it I HAVE NO WORTH OR VALUE AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Glimmer: we haven't fucking fixed a god damn thing and shit is getting WORSE Adora: WELL YEAH BC YOU WON'T LET US HELP YOU,

Swift Wind: "She hung up on me!"

IS IT GONNA BE KARL

playing Sea Hawk was probably fun in general but he did in fact make seagull noises

omg it is Karl

okay so Admiral Scurvy is just like I WANT MONEY which brings me back to asking WHAT CURRENCY ARE THEY FUCKING USING

mopey kitty. do you need laser pointer zoomies, too

oh no she doesn't know Scorpia has left and is pouring out her heart not realizing nobody is listening

"Listen, I'll kill you if you tell anyone this, but...I thought winning would be different. Or at least more...I don't know, fun?"

poor bb

Back to the boys: the Horde paid their ransom 😬

oh god this is great

but also Glimmer and Adora are having a screaming match and Glimmer punches LOW, including the line "Maybe your best isn't good enough! If it was, my mother would still be here!"

I took a screenshot of Adora's face in response but I can't post it it's too sad

but anyway, bigger things to worry about

Mermista: "The boys are in trouble!!"

oh hey I remember that scene

Bow: Friendship takes work!!

that is a very good point

also let's face this episode exists in part just so we get to have an episode in which three male characters get rescued by three women :D

okay I like Mermista's song ngl

omg the double meaning of "fight with friends" catching up to them near the end of the song

and Catra goes looking for Scorpia and goes into her room and

omg this is so funny and cute

I forget where I read it (I've gone through so many interviews etc at this point omgggg) but iirc the note just says "sorry"

Back on the ship: Glimmer reaches out to try to talk to Adora--who smacks her hand away and stomps off

😬 oh boy

ADORA GOD DAMMIT

Mermista and Sea Hawk are still singing and having a good time, Bow stares off into the distance singing along, end of episode

...I took way more screenshots than I expected on this one lol

[chrissdollie]

talking about each of rory's boyfriends

dean: ugh. ik EVERYONE says this, but s1 dean was just like soo perfect. too good to be true. he was cute, charming, and kind. i think he was a good 1st bf for rory. besides the fact that he freaking dumped her just because she wasnt ready to say "i love you back" and didnt respect her opinion on donna reed. and theres more. s4, took advantage of her and took away her virginity (im not fully blaming him, rory made me really mad too). like dude, he was MARRIED. poor lindsay didn't deserve being treated the way she was also. she just wanted to be with her husband. and then he based their (rory and dean) little relationship on sex. LIKE HUH?? when he was drunk the night before his wedding, he was saying how rory could fix the world, he loved her, and how she was so smart. what happened to that like what.. overall, i think he was great for a while until he wasn't. he also didn't have any character development at all. jess: in case you haven't seen any of my other posts, i am 100% team jess. i could write an essay about why he was the best bf, but i wont. and im not saying he was perfect at all. like ofc not, no one is! but the little things he did were just soo cute even when they weren't together. like buying rory's basket for $90! ughhh i love that episode sm. anyways, i love the fact that they were genuinely great friends before lovers. AND LETS TALK ABOUT SEASON 6. "wHy did you drop out of yAAleE?" iconic. okok so i absolutely adore that he was being totally honest with her. he was just real. like "rory, wtf are you doing?" he got her head back in the game. omg i saw this one post that was saying how when logan bought rory that birkin bag, she thought it was nice but didnt really know how to respond, but when jess gave her a copy of his book, she was really happy. because she has something special with him. ALSO did anyone else notice how jess was the only bf she didnt have sex with?? not really too important, but just wanted to say that. in AYITL, he gave rory the idea to write a book. i feel like he was always there for her. always. as a friend, bf, ex, and then friend again. through her ups and downs, he was there. fight me all you want, they shouldve been endgame. i was a upset when he got all angry when rory didn't want to have sex with him in another person's house. ik that he was moody or wtv but still. AND THE FACT THAT HE JUST LEFT WITHOUT TELLING RORY. im not saying he shouldve stayed (well i kinda am) but i was so mad that he just left her in the dark. also totally not necessary, but here are some of my fav quotes from him. "ernest only has lovely things to say about you", "i love you", "an innocent boy like me should not be raised in an atmosphere like this! i wanna be good, life's just not letting me", "i like this shirt. it brings out my eyes", "it feels like im with rory and youre not", "wanna push me in the lake?", "22.8 miles. do you YAHOO?" i have more in the dungeon logan: 2nd fave bf. he was meh. sometimes he was an absolute jerkk but i do like how he pushed her out of her comfort zone a bit. AND how he tried the whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing because he liked her so much. and personally, when jess went to visit rory in s6 ep8, i think he had a valid reason to be upset. like he literally pulled up to richard and emily's to see rory with a random dude going out. and the first thing she said to him was "when did you get back? i thought you were coming home tomorrow?" i mean i could totally see why he thought something was going on. (but he did overdo it a little. at first it was understandable but as the night went on, he was just being plain rude). on the other hand, he was kinda boring to me. i feel like he didnt really have much of a personality besides being rory's bf. BUT I HATE HATE HATEEEEE that he was hooking up with rory and ENGAGED TO ANOTHER WOMAN in AYITL. its like dean all over again smh. tbh im glad rory didnt end up with him. BUT HES HER BABY DADDY (im pretty sure) LIKE NOOOO anyways, these are just my opinions and feel free to disagree just dont bash me please <3

[whyismangososour]

Dustin definitely has ADHD or is at least neurodivergent coded.

However, what's also important to understand Dustin's character, especially in s4, is his hubris and arrogance. This is a boy who's saving the world since he was 12 years old. At this point, everything is a game to him, which is why he wasn't concerned about Steve and co being stuck in the UD or his plans not working. In the past, everything always worked out for him and his friends, especially his plans. He still doesn't understand the seriousness of the situation until everything went to shit at the end of s4. Until they didn't win and fucked everything up.

Also worth noting is Eddie's influence on him. Eddie, who's telling the party how superior they are for joining his club because they are not "conforming" to society, will have some negative influence on those kids who are repeatedly saving the town in secret but are still treated as losers by their peers. Especially Dustin latched on to this, which explains his behavior in s4. Like his grades were slipping, he abandoned Lucas for a DnD game that they could've played later. Could it be a form of trauma response (if the Duffers intended to actually give a fuck about that) or is it Dustin being told how special he is by his new mentor and the fact that he's a hero who never truly lost since he was 12? I think people don't really understand the Eddie-Dustin relationship pre s4. They were not friends, not like Steve and Dustin.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that eddie and dustin weren’t friends per say — and I’m not just referring to the writing when I say that — dustin and eddie’s actors both have clear chemistry together that they lean into for the script’s sake (and joe quinn has shown he’s not afraid of diverting his acting away from the intentions behind the script lmao) sure dustin looks up to eddie a shit ton and there definitely is more of a mentorship-type of power dynamic that I agree is very different from dustin and steve’s more sibling-like relationship, but I don’t think that negates the idea that they’re friends

for example, one of my favorite scenes in s4 from ep8 was the scene where they’re literally building deadly weapons and eddie begins joking around and wrestling with dustin, clearly trying to take his mind away from the Horror of the situation (which is a common theme in the show .. using jokes and dnd and things from your childhood to cope with and ground yourself during traumatic situations) before telling dustin to “never change” — I’m very biased towards this scene as an older sibling, a babysitter, and a former camp counselor myself because I’ve BEEN eddie in that scenario — just because you have more power than someone younger than you doesn’t mean you can’t care about them and have a friendship with them in your own way

that being said I agree that eddie is not always a good influence on dustin, considering his own problems with his own stubborn ego (like uselessly sacrificing his life for doing things that literally anyone would have or has done in a similar scenario, for example) but — even if their relationship is different — the same could be said theoretically of steve !!!!!!! considering the absolutely shit dating advice he gave dustin in s2 !!!!!! not to mention, he has a whole group of friends that constantly affirm his biases against people who care about “primitive constructs such as popularity” !!!!! eddie is absolutely not the only one here and I think that’s why the duffer brothers are able to get away with the loser/popular kid dichotomy thing so much more than most writers (though it is still worthy of critique)

anyway I think that friendships just are often more complicated and layered than people give them credit for like it’s really not uncommon for a friend to share similar flaws as you or to enable some of your bad habits, both short term and long term, it all just depends on how healthily each party in the relationship can deal with it ya know?

but the example I picked of dustin exhibiting adhd traits I mostly just picked because I thought it was funny lmao sure it probably played a little into dustin’s ego and that could’ve been why it was so damn egregious but I could think of dozens of other examples of dustin having absolute adhd brain rot (and I can say that because I also have it) that have very little to do with his character flaws whatsoever

mike S1 analysis (kinda)

this isn't a character analysis, its regarding the framing of mike after the events of the upside down.

so i was rewatching S1 for the hundredth time (as one does looking for byler crumbs) and something struck me.

i was on the last few mins of ep8 and i noticed something that was worth telling y'all. or maybe its just that i'm skin deep in delusion lol. also this is LONG.

background : isolated shots of people in a group setting are always used to indicate a deeper connection of that person with the object/person of focus in that particular scene.

thinking about how we got isolated shots of mike like this (when will was found) :

mike was the focus of this shot

then we were shown this as the camera zoomed in on mike (telling us that we're seeing his perspective)

then these infamous shots. the duffers had no reason to highlight mike's eagerness here (other than indicating the fact that mike and will have a very tender relationship diff than the others because we already know that the party love each other very much)

now I know this shot doesn't have mike in it but STILL we are told through that "Mike laughs". they all were jumping with excitement and were laughing so WHY HIGHLIGHT ONLY MIKE?

we see mike again when they've all shared hugs and here if you pay attention his expression says a lot. he is bubbling with pure happiness upon seeing will again.

but the intention of showing mike alone in this shot was to feed to our subconscious that mike's relationship with will is stronger (and different) than dustin and lucas's. this next shot proves my point.

dustin and lucas are blabbering about the events that happened during his disappearance and are shown TOGETHER, thus not having any indication of intimacy that we were shown in the case of mike.

then will coughs and we see mike (isolated in this shot) again with a little bit of concern on his face. (if the boys were to be shown to have equally strong friendships we would've got all three of them together in this shot but NO. we see a concerned mike and THEN we see a shot of dustin and lucas together). but WHERE do we see a group shot?

when el comes up in there convo. isn't that interesting? if mike had genuinely romantically fallen for her (as he said in his monologue) wouldn't it make sense for mike to have isolated shots here? but we don't get even a SINGLE shot of mike alone when el is being talked about. we get all three of them as if they all have the same relationship with el (platonic friendship).

then fast forward to the DnD game

we see will rolling the dice and mike looking at him fondly (pt.1)

EDIT : after reading @dinitride-art 's wonderful lighting analysis i saw another thing worth mentioning here

@dinitride-art mentioned how in s4 will is always shown in different/soft/angelic lighting whenever we're in mike's perspective.

see how in this will is bathing in light and is literally glowing while dustin and lucas are similarly lit (in low lighting).

and i don't need to say anything about this next one honestly

this means we're meant to see mike's perspective of will (soft/angelic/glowing) through the lighting choices all along.

this is when jonathan comes to pick will up and lucas is making fun of dustin. we see mike looking at will fondly(pt.2 coz honestly, this screencap of mike the preceding screencap are EXACTLY the same, as in, mike has the exact same expression on two different occasions (the second one where will isn't even the focus on the convo as opposed to the earlier one))

now one last one

mike is shown bidding will farewell TWICE, once when him and dustin are saying together and the second time here, as if he wants will to explicitly know that HE is saying goodbye.

the duffers are telling us from the beginning that there is a lot more to mike and will's relationship and they've been building it up from the start.

byler endgame.

The Boys s3e8 spoilers

okay on the one hand

I’m very proud of Hughie for reconciling with Annie.

He finally realised his true strength doesn’t come from tempV and having superpowers.

This episode reiterated that Annie doesn’t need saving, but she did need help. That she doesn’t need Hughie to save her, she just needs him. And finally we see Hughie realise that and deliver in the scene where instead of taking tempV and giving himself brain damage, he chooses to up the lights and supply Annie with more power.

It calls back to every moment Hughie has used his intelligence and tech skills to assist The Boys as he has been doing since the start.

Beyond this we the audience also know that Hughies real power in The Boys is his empathy. His people skills. His commitment to treating supes like people and everyone with decency. The fact he was delegated to evacuate the tower and therefore in charge of minimising civilian casualties is definitely tied into this.

but on the other hand

I was really enjoying angry fucked up Hughie 😭

low key wanted him to have a bit of a villain arc

Hughie deserved another chance to fight homelander. I know that that’s Butchers fight but still. Guess I’ll just have to go rewatch herogasm

does this mean we’ll never get to see Hughie teleport with Homelander or Soldier Boy or Butcher? 💀 I know it would have contributed nothing to the plot but it would have been so funny

but fr Hughie deserves to be angry with everything that’s happened. If s4 decides to have a plot line dedicated to Victoria Neuman then I really think Hughie will be front and centre to it. He worked with her for a year. He thought they were friends. So he’s definitely gonna have a bone to pick with her

Okay other than that

in season 4 I have some predictions of stuff we’ll get to see or that I would just like to see:

Hughies apologised to Annie for going low-key insane with power but he’ll prob need to repair his relationships with Kimiko, Frenchie and MM. there wasn’t really any time for in ep8 but I think it’s important to show these bonds being mended

we need to see Hughie and Kimiko have some kind of reconciliation. I know kimiko really doesn’t seemed fussed over nearly dying etc but Hughie definitely needs to realise that being on a power trip and ignoring her bleeding out in the back of the van was fucked up.

butcher and Hughie definitely need to sit down and talk. so many issues. butcher seeing Hughie as being like Lenny is sweet but kinda unhealthy. Hughie isn’t Lenny and that kind of expectation for him to live up to will create problems whenever he falls short of it

Hughie talked more about his mum this season and I really want to know why she left and get some more back story

I think I’m s4 we will end up with A-Train finally defecting from vaught and homelander. Like officially. All the dominoes are already there in place (his brother giving him a wake up call, the way homelander treats him etc)

Fully expecting the Deep to full on loose it. He’s on his own except for homelander now who obviously doesn’t care about him at all. would be surprised if he ends up dead next season either through his own self destructive behaviour or at homelanders hand

Homelander now knows he can get away with murdering an innocent civilian in broad day light in front of a crowd of people and not only face no repercussions but literally be cheered on so I just know he’s going to be completely unbearable now

It’ll be interesting to see Victoria Neuman juggle her reputation and VP claim to protect everyone regardless of political opinions alongside her deal with Homelander who has shown himself to have zero guilt over killing his political opposition

EDDIE IN EVERY SEASONS TIE IN:  this is a rough draft compiling how I will write Eddie in seasons 1-4. I don’t think it’s too invasive on other character’s canon?? It’s supportive if anything, at least I think so, it doesn’t mess things up. But there’s lots of room for tweaking! Plus, I cannot remember all the fine details of previous seasons because of disability reasons. So, forgive me if I get things the wrong way around.

SEASON 1.

Main focus for Eddie: helping Jonathan and Joyce find Will utilising Corroded Coffin/The Hellfire club to help. He is not present for the Demogorgon attack in the Byers house in EP8, but instead stays with the party to look after them and take part in the deprivation tank scenes. He feels guilt at the end for not being able to help Jane further when the agents show up and the Demogorgon comes at them.

Eddie has probably known the Byers for at least a few years and has befriended Jonathan and Will in that time, and in turn, the party, though to a smaller degree than what we see in S4. It’s more casual acquaintances and fellow D&D nerds, though he has probably transported the boys about in his van more than once.

Jonathan, maybe Joyce is aware that Eddie is bisexual. This can be handy for Will rpers in later seasons.

He sees Joyce as the mother he never had. Eddie’s mother suffered from chronic depression and he was often neglected. So, he’s very attentive to helping Joyce and will do anything she ever asks of him.

Does not get along with Steve at all. Nope. It’s a hateship at this point. And will he punch out Steve for attacking Jonathan, especially while using a homophobic slur? Ohhhhh yes. This happens after the Demogorgon battle at the very end of the season.

SEASON 2.

Main focus for Eddie: flits between Steve and Jonathan’s narratives (since jon is developing his romance with nancy at this point), developing a friendship/antagoship with Steve, and begins to spark a siblingship with Max. Is part of the junkyard and tunnel battles (after being summoned by Dustin for back up), as well as accompanying Steve and Dustin to dispose of Dart. This is where co-dads begin. He is not present for Steve and Billy’s altercation, though, and ultimately feels guilty for it afterwards because Steve looks like hell.

Because of the final events of S1, Eddie has found himself closer to the members of the party. They’ve awoken a protective instinct in him after what happened to Jane.

He encourages Jonathan to go for it with Nancy after her and Steve are over because buddy, he’s sick of the simpering looks.

Eddie sells weed at the party Nancy, Steve and Jonathan are at. He’s dressed as a bard, no joke. Eddie helps Jonathan take Nancy home.

Where co-dads of Dustin begins to develop here. It forces Steve and Eddie to interact on better terms than in S1. I’d like to believe they resolve their differences, working together as a team to defeat the Mindflayer and look after the kids split between them. And though Eddie doesn’t out himself to Steve, he makes a point of saying that Jonathan could have ended up hurt or even dead if it got around that Steve accused him of being gay.

SEASON 3.

Main focus for Eddie: working in scoops ahoy with Robin and then Steve. Only partially involved with Russian shenanigans, primarily with Dustin and Erica. Does not focus on key Robin and Steve moments because that’s not cool, that’s their thing, but he takes part in rescuing them with Erica and Dustin. He also tries to get through to Billy at the Starcourt Mall, having recognised some similarities between them and their family over S2 and 3, and ultimately takes a beating during Starcourt Showdown from Billy (if that’s cool with Billy rpers) while defending the kids and Max. Once again, Eddie feels guilty for not being able to help Billy.

Up to Robin rpers, but I will generally write Eddie and Robin as already being acquaintances if not friends. Whether Eddie knows she is a lesbian and vice versa etc, is entirely up to individual interpretations.

Eddie is still very close friends with Jonathan, but perhaps a distance has been placed between them what with Jonathan having a girlfriend and his newspaper job. Which can absolutely be rectified, but we need some drama, right?

SUBPLOT:  Eddie having to kill a flayed person to protect Erica and Dustin, and that messes him up a lot. Especially as they then have to rescue Steve and Robin from the Russians.

Ribs on Max for being so adorable with Lucas. He ships Lumax okay. 

SEASON 4.

Main focus for Eddie: Guilt. Do you see where this is going? Enter Chrissy Cunningham. I don’t need to explain anything further to ya’ll. Just some personal bits I am implementing.

Eddie does miss Jonathan a lot. Yeah, he’s got his Hellfire/CC bros. But Jon is still very much missed as is Will, Joyce and Jane.

Is on established friendship terms with the scooby gang/fruitys.

Eddie gets Vecna’d hardcore because of his whole ass trail of guilt, and the scoobs + dustin having to bring him outta it.

Sorry Nancy, but Eddie is gonna full on platonically kiss Jonathan when he sees him again. When, you know, he’s not half-dead from Demobat at
