TW minor character death / grief
Everyone thought Eddie lived with his uncle because his dad fucked up too bad and couldn't take proper care of a teenage boy. But that wasn't the truth: Eddie lived with his uncle because Wayne was the one needing someone to take care of him.
The truth was that Eddie used to have a cousin. Meredith was only three weeks older than him and the two of them had grown up side by side. Both of them didn't have a mother, but they did both have fathers who loved them more than anything else, even though Wayne usually had an easier time showing that than Clyde.
Meredith died on her sixteenth birthday. Before any supernatural presences were let loose in the woods of Hawkins, Meredith Munson drove to her birthday party at the Hideout on a frosty night and got her father's car wrapped around a tree because the brakes weren't functioning the way they should and the tires lost their grip on the icy road.
Understandably, Wayne took the loss of his only child badly. He barely ate, barely slept. He started drinking more than he had ever done before, even more than his brother. According to Eddie's father, this was just what grief looked like, and things would get better with time. But Eddie was worried. Like Wayne, he felt the loss of Meredith like a gaping hole in his chest. But he felt like he had also lost his favorite uncle on the night his cousin died. So he convinced his father to let him move in with Wayne for the time being, to keep an eye on him.
It helped. Eddie's lively presence was a comfort to Wayne, a reason not to drink too much, to clean up after himself, and to keep going to work every night. Meredith's room easily became Eddie's room: the band posters on her walls could've been picked by him just as well, he was just as messy as she used to be, and lying in the bed where she had once slept gave Eddie a weird sense of comfort. He and Wayne soon fell into a rhythm where they knew exactly what to expect from each other. They had an easy companionship and barely ever fought. They could grieve together, but they also managed to make some good new memories together, even though the pain was always there with them.
What should've been a few months, turned into years. Eddie didn't even feel all that bad when he failed to graduate the second time, because he didn't want to think about ever leaving Wayne alone in his trailer again.

please i beg you, whatever you do, do NOT think about how wayne must've felt upon finding chrissy's body and hearing eddie was dead a week later

Note
For the ask game: Yugioh, Komaeda x Hajime, and L Death Note! Feel free to do more also, I think you should do bakugo also for the character one just 4 fun ❤️❤️
001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:
Yugioh:
Favorite character:
Yugi!!! he's my blorbo i love him so much i'd kill 4 him
Least Favorite character:
umm yami marik scares me. his duel against mai in the manga is utterly terrifying
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):
PUZZLESHIPPING! the ship ever. soulmates. they ARE canon to me i'm sorry
wishshipping! nothing like some good old yuujou <3
dragonshipping, very underrated in my opinion, atem loves jou so fucking much
would it be cheating so say feathershipping here? puzzle + wish + dragon, what's not 2 like?
heartshipping. they're cute :)
Character I find most attractive:
mai <3
Character I would marry:
anzu?
Character I would be best friends with:
i wanna hang out with yugi so bad, yuugi mutou are you free this friday let me know if u want to hang out this friday when i am free
a random thought:
nobody understands atem actually. there are like 3 fic authors who Get Him and everyone else is wrong i'm sorry
An unpopular opinion:
yugi IS a better duelist than atem. some of you know this and are correct, but many people out there are blind to the truth.
My Canon OTP:
very funny to me that there are literally no canon ships in yugioh. takahashi was like "ok i'm gonna set up the barebones for some ships" and then he just. never came back to them ever. the peachshipping scene in duelist kingdom is so cute and then it just never happens again. iconic. in my mind puzzle is canon tho so i'll go w/ that <3
My Non-canon OTP:
it's still puzzle! they're everything 2 me. in theory i like lots of other ygo ships but i only ever actually read or care about puzzle sorry
Most Badass Character:
i guess it's atem? but that's not the side of him that i like the most, i prefer him when he's just a guy
Most Epic Villain:
thief king bakura is kinda sick not gonna lie. his intro when he breaks into the castle w/ atem's dad's mummy is so cool and sexy of him
Pairing I am not a fan of:
prideshipping can never work tbh i'm sorry. the only acceptable prideshipping is insane pining kaiba and atem just being like. okay. can i go home now i want to see my partner. dude just literally does not care
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):
kisara girl in another world i KNOW you would have fucked so hard
Favourite Friendship:
...it's still puzzle. am i boring you yet?
Character I most identify with:
this is kind of a hard question. i don't think i'm that similar to any of them actually. but i guess atem is my uwu sadboy that i can project on sometimes
Character I wish I could be:
tbh i want yugi's life where's MY magic jewelry that has my soulmate inside it
002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:
komahina:
When I started shipping them:
tbh immediately upon starting the game. during their first conversation i was like. yeah i'm not gonna be normal about this
My thoughts:
they're in love and they're really so very bad at it <3
What makes me happy about them:
island mode is so funny actually, komaeda is a horrible guy to date. anywhere you take him there's like a 50/50 chance of him being like. god this sucks i thought you liked me but i guess you hate me goodbye forever. and then hinata shakes it off and goes out with him again. over and over. obsessed with the unpredictability of this man. he is SO bitchy and high maintenance and yet we cannot stay away
What makes me sad about them:
komaeda's attitude change post-final dead room is really both funny and very sad to play. one day he's your insane bestie who loves you so much and the next day he's like actually i hate you, you are a worthless little worm with no talent and i can't fucking stand being in the same room with you. :((((((((( bestie don't say that
Things done in fanfic that annoys me:
you can't make komaeda normal. please god you cannot do that to him. i'm so utterly obsessed with everything that's wrong with him that if you try to fix him, i will simply not read it
Things I look for in fanfic:
i really like it when fic writers are able to turn the funny repeated voice lines like "THAT'S WRONG!!!!" or "I AGREE WITH THAT!" into plot-relevant and emotionally affecting moments
My wishlist:
i want them to make out and be weird and fucked up together idk
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
tbh i don't think komaeda could be with anyone else. hinata theoretically could go out w/ other characters, esp chiaki, but i wouldn't really care. hinanami is far too normal for me, it's the insanity of komaeda that really draws me in, so hinata could definitely go out w/ nanami, i simply would not read it or care about it
My happily ever after for them:
i guess they cure komaeda's cancer and get him to a more functional but still insane mental state and then they hang out and bother each other forever. they get married someday and komaeda still says the usual komaeda shit about "wow i'm so happy right now, i wonder who's going to die because of this :)"
003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:
L:
How I feel about this character:
he's SO cool and awesome and i like him so much.
Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character:
yeah it's just light.
My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:
we barely see this, but i do like to imagine L's relationship w/ the other wammy kids.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT make him normal or nice or sane. you cannot sadboy woobify this man into being a sympathetic romantic lead. he is absolutely just as insane and unethical as light and this fact must be acknowledged
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
i wish he & light had angrily made out at least once before L died. they really both needed it so bad
Favorite friendship for this character:
i guess maybe naomi?
My crossover ship:
tbh i simply do not have any crossover ships for anything. ships stay in their canon for me
Bakugo
How I feel about this character:
i literally cannot stand him. he may be one of my least favorite fictional characters ever written. he sucks so bad that he drives me completely insane every second he's on screen. i would kill him if i saw him irl
Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character:
kirishima, i guess? but i don't like care about it bc that would involve caring about bakugo.
My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:
like. bakugo & going to therapy? bakugo & staying dead this time ???
My unpopular opinion about this character:
HE SUCKS. SO BAD. HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY EXCUSES HE'S JUST TERRIBLE
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
i wish he would die❤️ or at the very least he should go to therapy, apologize to izuku, and then never show up onscreen again
Favorite friendship for this character:
i don't care
My crossover ship:
no
