eternity || epilogue

this is a generalization of course but it is fun how often buck has extremely valid emotions and concerns that he doesn't have the framework to articulate or present it properly so it comes out like he's being dramatic/crashing out over nothing which feeds into how people feel the need to 'handle' him or treat him with kid gloves when that's not really what he wants or needs, which makes him question if maybe he IS overreacting over nothing, even though he generally has a pretty strong handle on when he feels like something is wrong. whereas eddie often reacts to things disproportionately and with underlying emotions that would kill an average therapist where they stand but he's really good at boxing all the harsher edges of himself away and going about things so even-keeled-y that everyone assumes that there must be some good reason he's doing the things he does and they're just not in the know, so people just leave him to handle his own shit (which is what he says he wants) which just validate's eddie's internal justifications in his own insane decisions.
