Decided To Be A Bitch Cause Fuck This Shit

It’s worse when you remember: “so you’ll be my dad again.” Because Eddie didn’t come and get him! Eddie let him leave in the first place! Eddie took him away to LA, their little trip together, and Chris thought, okay he’s never leaving me again, and then it turns out that’s true but he will let Chris leave! And Chris can’t ask Eddie and he can’t ask his grandparents, and the whole time Eddie is thinking he can’t ask Chris to come home, Chris who wouldn’t even look at him to say goodbye, and it’s because Eddie grew up thinking he’d never be good enough—if he was good enough Chris wouldn’t have left in the first place—and then he got his own life, and his parents said you can do what you need to or want to with your own life—except raise Chris properly. You can’t do that, and you can’t do that on your own, not successfully, and then 6 years later he proved them right—or at least he thinks so because what they didn’t do was show up and try to reconcile the situation no matter how long they had to stay in LA. Because Eddie learnt to run from them! So they took the problem instead of trying to fix the problem between their kid and his kid. And the whole time a 13 yo is thinking his dad lied to him and told one woman she was special while seeing another woman who looked like his dead mother who didn’t want to be his mom anymore and then slowly comes to think that his dad doesn’t want to be his dad anymore and his grandparents only want to see him as a child. “I tried complaining about it once but it didn’t change anything” is what he tells Buck at 8 after he almost died and before he almost died again, shortly after his grandparents tried to convince his dad to move back because Eddie couldn’t do it alone, and even if that were true, the option they gave was only ever come to us, because whatever you make of a life here will never be enough: for you, your kid, or for us.

one of my fav genres of buddiefic is when buck's like 'ok i am realizing that i am being weird about eddie so i will stop doing that and be a Normal Friend' & actually going through with it reasonably well, and eddie spiraling about it because 'is buck mad at me?? did i do something?? why the FUCK is he acting so distant how do i get him BACK' while being unable/unwilling to actually confront him about it because that would involve looking directly at the tenor of how they usually behave with one another.

When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.

You really start to understand that the “angry black woman” and “mean lesbian” stereotype only exists to shame us for the fact we get reasonably upset about people wanting to horrifically abuse us indiscriminately. Let’s get meaner !

important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

reblog if you're also lame and weird.

Problems with Theo’s intro aside they really missed the opportunity to find a kid that looks like a mini Eddie. It’s his turn to have an undefined relationship with a child that isn’t his but really looks like he could be. Equality.
