In Eddie's introductory chapter, it's mentioned that he tried to move out three times before it stuck. I think about it all the time. He was so dependent on his mom by the time that he was an adult that he couldn't function without her, and when she died, he turned around and married someone who would fulfill that same role. Or rather, he perpetuated his own misuse of medicine and married someone who enabled him to do it. In the book, Eddie had a moment where he thought he could be fine and break out of the cycle of abuse, but he determined that familiarity was easier than taking those steps- so he proposed to and married Myra instead. Eddie's story is so tragic because a part of him very much recognized what he was doing and did it anyways.

A fae, a raven and their human daughter
Someone today will read Shakespeare’s hamlet and say omg he’s just like me fr. Another person will read moby dick and proclaim Ishmael as an adhd king.
A person grieving for their recently deceased lover reads the iliad and they watch as Achilles rages and rages and god how righteous anger fueld by love is so devastating that it’s ramifications still affect the world several thousand years later.
We might one day settle down and read the epic of gilgamesh and watch as a king has to accept the death of the person he loved the most. One of the very first stories ever written and it was about coping with death, and how to grieve.
We don’t read classics because they’re old, we read them because they remind us that we are never alone. That a character created over 500 years ago struggled with the exact same problems we all still have today. That even a king from centuries past had to deal with death just like me. That’s what makes stories so powerful–they prove to us that we are never truly alone in what we are feeling.
Happy pride month!

There is something embarrasing, but also hot that there are at least two fandoms that has their ships named "cherik", and you've been to both of them.
why would you say that
I love it when people use the "Merlin accidentally makes the whole castle fall in love with him but Arthur just acts completely the same" trope/idea. Idk why it's just one of my favorites.

the 100 having both the most atrocious case of bury your gays trope in tv history and the biggest case of straightbaiting in tv history is so funny like they really said no-one is gonna win this you're all gonna lose
