bitty bipolar biromantic

of course it is eddie with the stethoscope listening to buck's blood pump through his veins. eddie who kept his fingers pressed to buck's pulse point even when buck was conscious and speaking two episodes ago. eddie whose favorite sounds are christopher's laugh and buck's heartbeat. he almost lost both of them, but he never stopped fighting to bring them home. the two halves of eddie's heart. he doesn't have to feel like he needs to choose between buck and his son anymore. he can have them both because he fought for them.

Y'all ever just suddenly have the overwhelming urge to swim??? Like not actively but you just wanna,,, be in the water and have some Peace

Yes it’s called the mammalian diving response and it’s also why doing face masks and taking a shower is soothing. Our amphibian ancestors used this mechanism to slow down the heartbeat and lower body temperature so as not to waste calories while swimming (which is very calorie intensive). It makes you feel safe because predators are less likely to get you in water than on land. The fish brain is alive and well in all of us.

My amphibian ancestors gave me the instinct to dissociate in the shower for hours on end

what if. episode about buck dating both halves of a former couple that decided to separate. buddie tensions still present. get worse when buck leaves the club early to go home with the girl. episode ends with buck's dates realising they actually want to get back together. before saying goodbye to buck the girl says "I'm sorry, but as long as he's an option there's no one else for me. he's my best friend." cue buck going over to his straight best friend's place with a six-pack to once again lament his relationship struggles, only when he arrives, there's figures moving in the window. buck, paranoid that maybe someone's broken in, goes to sneakily take a look through the window, and has a category five jealousy heart attack when he sees that his straight boy bestie eddie is currently getting his back blown out by the bartender that kept flirting with him back at the club.

do you ever think about eddie counting the seconds buck was dead for and just. cry. because like. he was counting the seconds buck was gone for, but he didn’t actually know buck was gonna come back to life, did he. what would he have done if buck didn’t come back? he would’ve kept counting, wouldn’t he? he would’ve counted every second he’s living and buck isn’t. every second he’s breathing and buck isn’t. he would’ve never stopped counting.

and he didn’t even say anything about it. he didn’t. not to anyone. not until someone said buck was dead for three minutes. just three minutes. and he was like no. three minutes and seventeen seconds. because he counted them. whatever

I am late to the party because I couldn’t watch the Dia de los Muertos episode until tonight and am a full week behind on 911 because of it, but. can I just say, I have been seeing “I wanted Eddie to come out as gay not Catholic” type posts all week, and I’m so annoyed literally none of the posts that have come across my dash have paid basically…any attention to this arc?? and specifically the racial/anti-colonial themes to it?? Like, Eddie hated church growing up, implied with his parents, needing something to rebel against. He has been trying to reenter the Church through the model of a variety of white men—the Hot Priest, Bobby—all of whom are well meaning, but he’s not feeing The Spirit, right? And the mark of actually finding God and finding the Spirit and his connection to the Divine is through matriarchs in his family and through his Mexican culture—that the practice that he connects to, wants to pass on to Christopher, that Chris connects to, that brings meaning and love into their house and their loss, is the enculturated part of his faith, rejecting the white/colonial experience of Catholicism and instead what Mexican culture has managed to keep alive through and alongside and braided into Catholicism. I know we all want Buddie but like. this felt like an incredibly special take from the show, and I heard nothing about it from the fandom. I wish that we spent as much time and care on Eddie and his whole personhood as we did on Buck.

look at the AWESOME fic minalover wrote to go with my vid! this was such a fun collab this year, thank you!!

buck is clingy and needy and terrified of abandonment but so many of his greatest acts of love keep him and eddie apart. keeping chris safe during the tsunami, taking care of chris after the shooting instead of being with eddie in the hospital, agreeing without question to take care of chris if eddie died, moving into eddie’s house so eddie could move to texas. even when eddie breaks down in season five, he wakes up and buck is gone, taking chris to school so eddie can sleep. buck barely touches eddie, ever, even after seven years. it’s like he’s been loving eddie from outside the glass doors this whole time.

LOOK AT THE COOL THING FRIEND MADE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!

"Listen for Christ's sake we're a modern paper. Parker - Parker get in here - this is Madeline Parker, came out three months ago. Best photographer we've got. We're proud to have her on board. We at the Daily Bugle are proud to support the LGBTQ+ community bUT THIS SPIDER-GIRL IS A MENACE"

Overwhelming consensus on this post is that you should come out in your superhero identity first, and then a couple weeks down the line come out in your secret identity and when people ask just go “Oh seeing Spider-Girl come out really gave me the confidence to come out myself” which is the best possible answer
