                         ❛ ❛      𝐎𝐁𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐋𝐘,     ❜ ❜          the  world  is  sepia  coated;      prosaic  around  the  edges,      ⅋      drenched  in  a    𝑚𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑦  𝑝𝑜𝑜𝑙    of  continual  dolour.      she  plays  herself  in  a  game  of  mental  chess.      (      every  second  strategic      ⅋      well  thought  out,      pointed  gaze      ⅋      every  action   with  meaning  behind  it      ).      knife  in  opposite  palm,      held  at  the  angle  of  angels,      tip  pressed  against  mid  palm,      ⅋      dragged  until  red  is  center  stage.      when  grazed  she  does  not  feel  the  peeling  of  delicate  skin,      the  wound  beginning  to  ooze  red,      the  split  of  skin  at  her  palm,      ⅋      how  her  nerves  glow  bright      ⅋      rogue  beneath  the  surface.      face  fails  to  falter,      ⅋      instead  she  grabs  the  frail  wrist  of  her  reclusive  friend.      she  stands  close,      pressing  the  wound  against  her  matching  twin.       ❛ ❛      what’s  friends  if  not  best?      it  does  not  hurt  for  long.      now  stand  still.     ❜ ❜

she  makes  him  anxious  in  their  better  moments  and  ready  to  keel  over  and  let  the  ground  take  him  up  on  an  early  decomposition  in  the  worst  ones.  the  category  this  moment  lends  itself  to  depends  on  whether  his  self  reassurance  can  carry  him  through  the  next  few  seconds.  then  it’ll  be  down  to  the  next  few  days/weeks  when  he  gets  home  with  any  kind  of  wound  on  his  person  -  it’s  summer  and  gloves  are  inexcusable  -  he  can’t  fathom  what  he’ll  have  to  say  for  himself  when  this  one  is  noticed.  it’s  ringing  through  his  brain  like  a  heartbeat  that’s  both  thrumming  with  an  undeterminable  currency,  loud  and  present,  and  laced  with  a  panicked  palpitation  type  beat  right  under  it.  fine,  fine,  fine,  mostly  probably  not  really  at  all,  i’ll  die,  i’ll die,  i’ll  die.  fine,  fine,  fine.  his playmate  has  this  effect.

                ‘ acacia- ’    she  acts  faster  than  him.  he  always  thought  his  reflexes  were  alright.  he  winces  when  the  palms  touch.    ‘ wipes. ’    his  free  hand  fumbles  at  his  fanny - pack  —  he  is,  after  all,  expedition  prepared.    ‘ antiseptic  wipes.  jesus  christ- ’    and  the  wince  returns  with  vengeance,  eddie  looks  away  far  away  from  their  awful  pair  of  hands.    ‘ band  aids  too. ’

* eli the good prompts

eli the good is a novel by silas house. tw: war.

‘ all of the world’s biggest problems boil down to misunderstandings, then, don’t they? ’

‘ you didn’t love anybody but yourself. ’

‘ do it, then, instead of being a damn coward. ’

‘ you scared me to death, little man. ’

‘ wake up, buddy. wake up. ’

‘ i listen all the time. to everything. ’

‘ sometimes you get dealt the wrong hand and you have to find yourself a family, create one for yourself. ’

‘ just sit here with me. until we get sleepy. ’

‘ hey there, half-pint. ’

‘ i’ll lie down with you until you get to sleep, okay? ’

‘ that lightning was running all across that blacktop. could’ve killed you. ’

‘ be quiet. hold your tongue. ’

‘ only children know exhaustion like that, rest like that. ’

‘ you’ve always been my sweet little bird. ’

‘ do you have to read that old book even while you’re eating? ’

‘ so when you feel alone, you can know you have us, for one. all right? we’ll always be your family. ’

‘ see, now? look. you’re fine. ’

‘ you’re the one who went off on a big adventure. you make me sick, saying you were fighting for your country. you went there looking for a big time, and then you found out that it was a war. it wasn’t an adventure; it was real. ’

‘ that’s the problem, that people want it all to be simple. and then everybody just misunderstands everyone else, and instead of trying to understand each other, we all just go to war in one way or another. ’

‘ those things will wear you out, will make you feel like a ghost floating through the world. ’

‘ listen,  bill,  just-  just  follow  me.  follow  me. ’     the  enthusiastic  nod  eddie  started  off  his  tirade  with  keeps  going  and  he  turns  on  his  heel,  traipses  off  in  the  opposite  direction.  he  assumes  bill  will  follow,  he  considers  that  a  safe  bet;  his  steps  quickly  turn  to  stomping,  then  to  lurching,  as  he  heads  further  away.  eddie  kasprzak  looks  like  he  might  topple  right  to  the  ground  if  he  doesn’t  settle  himself.  he  turns  back  to  bill,  still  moving,  now  backwards  -  he’ll  fall  on  his  backside  now  if  the  lurching  doesn’t  solve  itself  out.  it’s  a  buzz  of  something,  anything  to  do,  something, something,  anything!  that  does  that.      ‘  it’s... ’     eddie  starts  but  the  thrill  of  moving  with  such  a speed  and  purpose  catches  him  and  he  nearly  slips  on  his  clunky  sneakers.  he  rebalances.     ‘ it’s  this  car,  totally  abandoned,  with  windows  broken  in  and  everything.  and  it’s  not  even  too  far  from  here.  i  wanna  show  you. ’

that buzzfeed unsolved quote that’s like ‘my greatest fear, i think i've said this before, is that someone will trick me into doing heroin’ eddie

[tozierpunks]

i love eddie kaspbrak bc he will be like, "gullible is absolutely in the dictionary, there's no reason for it not to be; plus mommy says it is and also I checked" and richie will be like, "wait, eds, didn't you hear about the recent changes? They added and took out like twenty words; Mom and Dad were talking about it last week. Gullible isn't there anymore." and Eddie will check

[pulsingvoid]

the it movies want us to think eddie’s hair is straight SO BAD like you can tell the hair department tried its best to tame jdg’s curls to varying degrees of success but his hair still ends up looking wavy and nothing like it did in 2017 because jack’s curls have gotten too unruly. this whole situation is 100% in-character for eddie if you think abt it
