#bye eddie

the cracked case: it's eddie, i mean alex

so i accidentally fell onto something that i wish i could unsee. and like the good friend i am, i dragged everyone with me into this rabbit hole (@rebelrayne , @whatisreggieshortfor & @csmicletters ). and it would be a disservice if i didn't drag the fandom with us too.

so here's how i ended up finding out that stick or twist alex is in fact eddie. all the evidence is under the cut (read at your own risk).

the why i believe alex is eddie rebranded?

so this could be a long discourse, about how i got to this conclusion after playing around with my edits and the islander pics. but that would take too long and i'm an introvert at heart. so, i'll just cut it short and present to you all the evidence.

exhibit a - as many of you pointed out, alex seems to have a different art style. well if you look at his art and at eddie’s art...what do you see? me, well i see a slight change but it's there. it eddie.

exhibit b - now i'm not that handy with the whole piecing together a new islander from existing parts. but remove alex's hair and put eddie's (the eyebrows, eyes and chin) match up. who do you get...eddie.

exhibit c - you know how we get that sneak peek of alex. well, one of his lines says that he'd like to bring his girl back to the farm. you know who also says that, eddie. seriously, go play season 5 and you'll see.

i think fusebox saw that we weren't good with having eddie return and they just said, change the hair and give him a semi-new backstory. we'll call him alex. you know fusebox, they’ll take the feedback and do the bare minimum.

so now that you can't unsee, feel free to do with this what you will. or however, that saying goes. and before i get the whole ‘but this is alex’— i like alex and hope that fusebox didn’t do him dirty.

Never have I ever had daddy issues.

Edward wasn’t enjoying this anymore so after he begrudgingly knocked back his drink he hurled the glass against the wall, voice rising over the sound of the glass shattering. “WHY? YOU WANT TO SEE THEM?” Swallowing thickly, Ed stood up, immediately falling back into his chair. After another attempt, he swiped the nearly emptied bottle and stumbled out of the building. “I am done---sss’not fun no more...”

I feel bad for Eddie, but these were all hilarious 😂

Eddie knows what’s up. Exit stage left

Iris may not know she's gonna be Iris West-Allen but Barry does and he's been  kinda chill, not so over the top lately but I can't wait for that to change

because when it comes to Iris West, Barry has no chill. So eventually he's gonna do him and be an out of control lovesick puppy and I can't wait....I am cheering on this mofo to the point Iris is like Eddie who?????

you ain’t marrying Iris

Iris telling Barry she does dumb things when he’s not around.

She would have NEVER agreed to date Eddie if Barry wasn’t in a coma

if Barry had not been in a coma then we know Petty Ass Barry Allen would have shut that shit down in a NY minute
