Be Kind Always

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?

Katie and Eddie are going to be the death of me

I’m trying to be so normal about them but I think it’s actually impossible. The Eddie x Katie brainrot is REAL and I desperately need more of everything from them. Everything about these two is amazing, the tension and the flirting drives me insane. The last scene in episode 8 got me goooooood.
