It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy, who cares what anybody else says! So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.

Spread the Word :)

#in 2020 someone did a little watercolour painting for one of my fics and i still have a screenshot #it’s in my favourites album on my phone #pls make art for fics #it’ll take up residence in your writers soul

argument of the day:

Who would have a problem of using the word “slay” too much? Steve, Robin or Eddie?

#robin would start saying it ironically and then it suddenly isn’t ironic in the slightest #steve says it fully ironically #(usually to make fun of robin) #eddie just. says it

#all of sun bleached flies but specifically #‘And I spend my life watching it go by from the sidelines’ #made me burst into tears while doing the dishes when i heard it for the first time #i’ve struggled w dissociation since i was like six and that just. #yeah. #ow

#saw a kid wearing a propeller hat today and it briefly filled me with whimsy #he was playing with his mom running up and down a little alleyway that was kinda uphill #when he ran down the hat fell off and they both started laughing so hard they had to stop for a sec #it was precious

Hi! me again on my 3000th reread of a mess of holy things and two things

1st this line

“Liking you isn’t the— the scary thing. It’s… what other people say. And think. That’s what’s scary.”

“Right,” Eddie says slowly. Steve looks into his eyes intently.

“We’re not the problem,” he says. “We’re not doing anything wrong.”

literally gives me heart palpitations and a stomach ache but in a good way ohmygod

2nd im curious in your mind what steve was like in highschool? I was just reading the part where steve was telling eddie that he was a bully by association kind of like like he stood there while his 'friends' bullied other kids and he was voted prom king in his senior year and they still called him the hair so theres all the elements of canon steve that we know and love but in your version by the time he is in college to me at least and forgive me if im interpreting this wrong hes more like? quiet and docile i guess for a lack of a better word? he keeps to himself and if it wasnt for literally running into eddie he would have stayed that way. So in your version was he more like canon steve in highchool and then the years of his Parents behavior kind of made him more withdrawn or was it more he was always that way but he was still popular anyway?

I am most likely reading WAY to far into this but this is my favorte version of steve and eddie and my fav hobby is to over think about them so what can you do lol

okay toodles!! :)

hi i adore you

1 - thank you sm i loved writing that scene!!! that whole kind of theme is sososo important me and i love when it comes up in media (rn i can only rly think of the scene in young royals after the video was posted and simon says 'we havent done anything wrong' to wille; i ADORE that line and i think it's so important for characters and audiences to know and rly understand that there isn't Anything Wrong with queer love or queer sexuality)

2 - SO! quiet and docile i think would be a good way to describe this steve!! when he was in high school he was definitely popular but it began partially because of his parents; it was a small town and everyone knew who the harringtons were and assumed what kind of person their son would be, so a lot of people befriended him just to get in on that life, but steve wasn't a party animal or particularly outgoing (he def was a little more extroverted in high school but it wasn't crazy). he ended up popular by association after a little while because he was friends with tommy hagan and the guys that *were* particularly popular and outgoing and threw parties. some of the running jokes (like calling steve 'the hair' and 'king steve') came from the guys liking to pick on steve; they found it particularly funny because he was the quietest and the most religious (?? in a way; everyone knew the harringtons were religious) so they found the irony of their jokes funny

i think this is why when steve started college he didn't really know what to do with himself or how to make friends; it was around middle school that people started befriending him because of his family, so when he moved to the city and suddenly nobody knew who he was, it was a sort of breath of fresh air that came with a wave of loneliness and he didn't know how to feel about it.

anyway i love this steve sm hes my baby

toodles <33

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.

Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.

There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.

[ghosttotheparty]

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

#and if you don’t think it’s good #if you dislike the writing style or tropes or anything at all #you hit the back button #quick and easy
