only for the brave

parasocialism is bad Unless its with me. i love you. yes You. Specifically

the thing is buck is a Brat. he loves to be crazy and annoying and act out for attention and he super loves to push and push and push to see how far eddie will let him go. this is the essence of clipboard buck btw. to Me. that eddie is Letting him do this. it's a case of how far will eddie let this go? how long will he indulge buck for? it's the idea that he doesn't Have to do what buck tells him but he gets off on indulging buck's behaviour because buck gets off on eddie letting him get away with his behaviour and they both get off on the fact that eddie is Letting this happen. that he doesn’t Have to do what buck tells him. he's indulging him. that there is an end point here where eddie says No Buck. and buck heels and goes Yes Sir, i'll be Good, tell me what to do 🐕

literally eddie brat tames buck by letting him push and push by letting him pull on the leash eddie is holding to give buck the illusion he's Winning and he has Power and then eddie will go Buck. in that very specific tone. and buck will immediately sit and wait for a command like a dog. path of least resistance. buck doesn't actually want to Win he wants eddie to let him push and push him so far only to finally put his foot down and say Enough and maybe also be a little mean about it

this is only for the sake of not clashing with the walls though. obviously.

thinking about eddie being picky about the hospital food again... fussing over it in front of buck... complaining about having to be there for three days... pathetically making subtle hints he would like his boybestfriend to pretty please go out and bring him back some normal food... maybe a baked good... as a treat... and buck absolutely does. what's he going to do? let eddie hunger strike and starve? absolutely not.

egregiously humorous to me that there was no actual reason to stab Eddie. Like he got stabbed because he prayed and was hot. Abuela died because Eddie prayed and was hot. The mustache died because Eddie prayed and was hot. Eddie STOP praying, we've lost enough.
