I do think this was healing a part of him that's been broken for a long time, and while there are a million other ways we could have achieved it (how dare they take abuela from us!!!!!) I see the vision of what they intended and think it was beautiful for Eddie's journey.

(Cross posted)

For Eddie, it's realizing he can just take the good and leave the bad when it comes to his faith. He can choose to believe in signs while still condemning the things that turned him away from the church in the first place. He doesn't need to find god - he just needs love. -c-

And here we see Eddie finding a healthy way for both him and Chris to process their grief and remember their loved ones. No more looking for Shannon's ghost in other people; just Eddie, remembering the deep love he has been privileged to experience, and the lessons left behind. -c-

To abandon the rigidity of organized religion, and to instead find connection with his community and the rituals that resonate with him. The Dia de Muertos parade acts like a sign from abuela herself, showing him that he can follow his own path. -c-

But the conversation with his abuela also makes a lasting impact, about how faith doesn't need to be found in the walls of a church - it's in the lasting love we feel for others. To me, this pushes Eddie to define what spirituality looks and feels like for him. -c-

Her parents were willing to hurt her just because she turned away from her faith, and convinced themselves it was just and for her benefit. This triggers Eddie, because IMO it is a reminder of his own upbringing and the reason he turned away in the first place. -c-

He doesn't share it with anyone, and maybe part of that is wanting something for himself without any outside pressures or expectations. There are obviously elements of it that he enjoys, and elements that he doesn't - we see this in the call with the "possessed" girl. -c-

Yes, he initially tries to find answers within the church itself, but this IMO was a necessary part of the journey for him after everything that happened with Marisol, Kim, and Bobby. It's something he does for himself, to explore his identity and his past. -c-

I had to replay 3 because it glitched and I didn't get any dispatch calls lmao but it was worth it for the improved dispatch response

LMAO NOOOOOO omg the worst possible scene to watch at work

It's super annoying but I'm gonna guess they use it as part of the elimination process, because it makes it easier to filter applications if some of the required stuff is missing. It's like a trick question 👎

omg yeah we have an android box and it's on a program we have on it. I got rid of my HBO a while back since I wasn't watching it enough, I didn't realize originally that this was even an HBO series (it kind of surprised me tbh)

YEAH, SAME, LMAO

yesss just came out the other night! it's interesting so far hehe

I did see a mute user feature on here but it might be new! I just know because I muted someone who I had muted over on twitter lol

ohhh the custom feeds is a good idea too, I'll have to look more into those. I used lists a lot on twitter to filter, so I had lists for like people who actually interacted that I wanted to interact with more or for specific fandoms to sort my following list

this is where I will probably go on Fridays when the tl gets unbearable over there lol

me watching the daughter in the opening scene act kind of weird and then suddenly they all were and then it got really creepy and I was like 😬 I love horror so it's still up my alley I just wasn't expecting that alskhglaksgh

I actually know nothing about this show other than it's like an It prequel
