I'm just thinking one time at the steelport arena Eddie let's me have some fun for a dark match and be his hype man.

He regrets it when I end up doing a (surprisingly good) p.aul h.eyman impression (that goes over fairly well)

the difference between watching horror w lester and horror w eddie is that eddie very much likes simple shlock that doesn’t have to make you figure it out.

lester doesn’t dislike that kind, but he doesn’t prefer it.

eddie very much likes his horror movies to have a beginning middle and end that are clearly defined and will grumble if something leaves you hanging.

eddie watching me upend the paprika shaker onto individual eggs: jesus christ why don’t you replace the egg white with paprika

me: paprika isn’t a garnish to me, okay, it is a friend. a lover, even.

me, looking at one of the preview images from smackdown: i swear to god if they’re gonna make me sit through another boot ass l*cey ev*ns trauma dump-

eddie: TRAUMA DUMP-

[flatstarcarcosa]

okay hey not to be illegally sawft but oh man, i just. thinking about eddie’s ??????? moment when he realizes i do, actually, like wrestling and know a lot about it but just didn’t give him many clues about that at first. i imply i have a basic or casual knowledge largely from working at the 3 count and just let it roll.

and eventually, you know, after we’re past the weird dating stage and it’s more solid that we’re like, a thing, something comes up about it, and he asks why i never said anything sooner.

i mention that wrestling is/can be a sore spot for me because weirdly enough it’s actually still tied to my trauma for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that instead of having a funny or cute moment that a lot/most kids do of figuring out what kayfabe is mine was just my mom flipping out on me about it and calling me fucking stupid for not realizing it was all fake despite me being like, nine or ten at the time.

“also it was my sister that got me into it initially so there was just, a lot of shit there with that, too.”

and he just gets really quiet for a moment, long enough that i’m like ah i did it again i did that thing where i misread something and i made it weird and now i have to shrug it all off with humor.

and before i can wind up with some sort of joke he goes, “some people are just too fucking bitter to ever believe in anything, so they take it out on everyone who believes in something.”
