all you object shippers are soooo weird. like, super weird. you guys see two objects playing lip guitar and go "oooh yeah that's tha good stuff". Wacko Behavior
You can literally see that they are physically close enough that eddie is jostling the vest steve is wearing. The way he slightly purses his lips and his mouth twitches while hes seemingly entranced by every word eddie utters...
And the fact that steve only breaks his unblinking staring when eddie glances back at him... like he didnt want to be caught.
i won't lie i think it's very funny (in. in a sad way) if most of the chain are having a good time during lu. like, they're hanging out with these other guys who actually GET them in a way almost no one else can, and they don't have to do all the fighting by themselves for once, and they're eating great food all the time and so on. sure, some of them miss their families or homes or whatever, and obviously they sometimes get hurt and have bad experiences, but for the most part they're all chilling.
...and then there's sky. sky, who during the entire thing is absolutely haunted by the fact that all of these people have suffered so much because of him. pretty much all of them began their quests as children, and it was his fault. sky, who doesn't say a word about the curse to anyone, who keeps all his guilt and horror and self-loathing locked up tight inside his chest. every time someone alludes to a traumatic event-even when they're just making a joke-sky has to look away for a moment to compose himself. because that trauma was his fault, too. it only happened because he failed.
he loves the other links just as much as any of them do. he also sees them as his family. but he can only forget himself and actually have a good time briefly, because he'll see time's eye or wild's scars and suddenly remember that he was the one who doomed them all.
(and you would never guess how he's feeling, how he's constantly being crushed under the massive weight of his guilt. he's always sleeping or talking about sun or carving or playing his harp. he seems so peaceful, so happy. he suffers so much, but he suffers in silence. after all, he doesn't deserve to tell anyone how he feels. not when it's all his fault.)
i dont remember if i send a request but ive been trying to web weave with things with similar to this image, where you find someone and you know you made the right choice of picking this person to love. hopefully this isnt too niche <3 ty!
