The Thrill of Going On Further Adventure(s)s with the Eighth #DoctorWho and Charley with @bigfinish
Charley Pollard: The Further Adventuress. A title and also, well, a title for the 1920s aristocrat-turned-time traveller. The Eighth Doctor’s first audio-exclusive companion returned for a full boxset of adventures in January of this year and it’s four episodes of fun, flirting, and further adventures. The Mummy Speaks! is the boxset opener and is immediately a load of fun. In fact, it’s a right…

David Briggs helmed a lot of successes as we have all noticed, though he also had some musicians that could have been among the greatest of their scenes. Kathi McDonald was another case of that. She should've had a better career, I mean, she replaced Janis Joplin in the band the latter fronted. Then again, she was constantly compared to her, which probably didn't do her many favours. For instance, Insane Asylum, her debut, sounds great, but I can understand why she was delegated to the session work. She's incredible, yet the similarity to Joplin – seriously, her voice is so much like Joplin's one find that uncanny – might have done her more harm than good. Sadly, I might add, Insane Asylum shows her to be a ferociously good singer.

I’ve often wondered if Buck is the actual introvert and Eddie is the extravert in their friendship.
I was trying to find something else over the weekend, and came across some articles on PTSD/trauma and damaged extraverts (who then appear to be introverts because they become afraid of trusting people). Eddie certainly presents as an extravert:
He seems to have a wide acquaintance/friends group (other firefighters, like Julie and now Tommy; the poker group; the basketball group; the dispatch ladies).
His first day at the 118 was classic extravert behavior—he fits in quickly and chats easily with everyone.
When Buck is standoffish on Day 1, Eddie pursues HIM. He wants to get along with everyone and wants to be friendly with all of his coworkers.
He chats easily with others about THEIR deep subjects (his conversation with May in season 5 comes to mind).
Extraverts tend to have a lot of people they know and are friendly with. They’ll still have deeper relationships, of course, but they’ll consider any number of people to be “friends,” and they are approachable and easy to talk to.
That doesn’t mean that they share their own inner thoughts, though—it’s often surface-level. It actually makes selecting and nurturing people/relationships where they can develop enough trust to share that innermost-feeling-stuff more difficult. And it’s that trust issue that made me wonder if Eddie was an extravert who had trouble diving past the surface relationships because of past trauma. He does trust people, but it’s a select few (Buck; Bobby). Otherwise, people only see the surface. An example would be his coworkers not knowing that he had a son and, later, a wife, until it became necessary (worried during the earthquake and asked a direct question) or beyond his control (Shannon showing up at the firehouse).
Buck appears to be an extravert, but I was actually thinking about Myers-Briggs types for the 118 at one point (while driving in my car, of course!!) and realized that Buck isn’t an extravert at all.
Think about HIS first day at the 118–he was shy and hesitant.
Buck being a “player” in season 1 was more about making connections—reveling in being Seen. Plus he’s incredibly awkward when HE tries to approach new people—I’ve always assumed that the women he slept with approached him because Buck-in-pursuit is just embarrassingly awkward. See his first conversation with Taylor for the cringe of it all.
The women he’s dated have, in most cases pursued him—or at least put the first step forward. Abby called him repeatedly. Ali must have given him her number, or he wouldn’t have been able to call her up. He met Taylor and Natalia on calls, and they were both inviting and forward. The one time HE tried to pursue dating, we got Veronica.
He doesn’t appear to have any close friends (or even people he hangs out with or activities he goes to) outside of the 118 circle.
Buck is outgoing within his friend/family group, but that’s common introverted behavior—they build that group and keep it close (they’ll fight for this—lawsuit, anyone?), and are comfortable being chatty to people in that select group. Outside of that group, and the awkward conversation and stuttering starts. They don’t necessarily have poor social awareness (particularly when observing OTHER people—I.e. people-watching), but they overthink and internalize it, making them self-conscious.
P.S. A true extravert would have gone to hang out at basketball with Eddie even if he sat and cheered (and razzed) on the sidelines and then got to go out for beers afterward with the group.
(My Myers-Briggs/Keirsey geekiness is showing again.)
(Expanded from comments on a reblog, so yes, you may have seen this before.)

10 things I hate about you | Eddie Munson x Reader
Summary: Eddie fucked up, so you write him a poem telling him that you hate him - except that you don’t hate him...not in the slightest
Word count: 1.4k 
A/N: If you know me, you know that 10 Things I hate about you is one of my favorite rom-com. Kat Stratford is one of my favorite characters - all media included - and she made me the way that I am today. I am introverted and very antisocial, well-spoken, blunt and very opinionated. We supposedly also have the same astrology sign (Capricorn) and the same Myers-Briggs personality (INTJ-T). When I saw Eddie on screen, I immediately thought of Patrick in 10 things about you. The curls, the smile, the heart of gold <3
keep sending requests with this list
Tumblr media

‘’So, it was all…fake?’’ Head on your pillow, you nodded as Chrissy caressed your hair after you told her everything. ‘’He dated you just to get back at Jason?’’ the blonde repeated with utter disgust. ‘’What an ass!’’
Tears flowed down on your cheeks, your heart completely shattered. ‘’He promised he’d never hurt me, yet he did. He hurt me so much, Chrissy.’’ 
You understood Eddie’s motives, but they didn’t make what he did less wrong. He used you and played with your feelings to get back at his bully. 
‘’All the time we spent together, all the laughs that we had and all the personal things I shared with him; I can’t believe it wasn't real for him. I feel…betrayed and used and-’’ 
‘’He hid his intentions so well. We both got bluffed!’’ Chrissy continued. ‘’When I see him, I’ll give him a piece of my mind-’’
You interrupted her. ‘’I told him I hate him.’’
‘’Good.’’
‘’But, I don’t hate him.’’ You paused, your next words were about to make the situation more complicated and difficult. ‘’I loved him. I…I love him. I love him so much.’’ 
.
You didn’t speak to - or interact with - Eddie for two weeks. It was difficult, having become accustomed to driving to school with him and meeting in the woods for the last fifteen minutes of lunch break. You missed it. You missed him.
There was an empty hole in your heart, a void created by the part he took with him when he broke it. 
Jason had seen your and Eddie’s breakup as an opportunity to slide back into your life, but you had been quick to push him away. You and him were done.
Chrissy had been there for you through everything. You were so grateful to call her your best friend. At lunch, she would sit so that she was the one facing Eddie, not you. She would hug you tight and wipe your tears every time she’d catch you crying in the school bathroom - no guy is worth your tears. She would switch hallways when she’d spot him walking your way or tell you all about the new Madonna or Cyndi Lauper song whenever she’d catch you staring at him. 
After everything she did to help you heal, you were very surprised when she suggested you should go talk to Eddie.  
.
Today was Thursday, which meant Eddie was playing at the local bar with his band. Your name was probably still on the guest list, but you didn’t want to talk to him in such a public place. There was too much noise in a bar and his band mates would be around. You had nothing against them, but what you wanted to say to Eddie was only for him to hear.
After cheer practice, you took your bike and biked to his trailer. You knew he’d stop by to fetch and pack his guitar for the gig, so it was perfect. 
You didn’t think you’d be so nervous when waiting for Eddie to come home, but here you were, pulling at the sleeves of your cardigan every three seconds. You checked your dainty gold watch again, then you heard him. 
Eddie halted in his tracks in his doorway, seeing you sitting on the edge of his bed. ‘’What are you doing here?’’ He didn’t blink or move, in complete shock by your presence. 
‘’You’re uncle let me in. He saw me waiting outside by my bike.’’
‘’Okay, but what are you doing here? I thought you didn’t want to see my face ever again.’’ 
You winced at the harshness of your own words. Maybe Chrissy was right. Maybe you need to tone it with your words down when you're mad? Eddie might have hurt you, but there was no reason to hurt him back with strong words you didn’t mean and said out of spite. 
You fiddled with the bottom of your skirt, regretting most of those words. ''Can we talk?'' you asked, lifting your eyes to him again. 
It wasn’t good timing - you knew -, but it was the only time you could catch him alone. At school, he was always with his D&D friends and there were too many eavesdroppers. 
Eddie rubbed the back of his neck, hesitating. If it were only for him, he'd sit and talk with you for hours, but he had other obligations. ‘’I don't have a lot of time, though. I need to be a the bar for soundcheck in twenty minutes.’’ 
''I know. I won't be long,'' you promised. 
His chest swelled as he took a deep breath, then sat down next to you on the bed. He was nervous. You recognized his body language. The way he was chewing on his lip and spinning his skulls ring around his finger.
‘’I had prepared a whole speech, but now that you’re here, I’m not really feeling it anymore. So, I apologize if what I say is messy or not well-spoken enough.’’ 
Honestly, Eddie couldn’t care less if your words were not worthy of a Hemingway or Tolstoy novel. He couldn’t understand most of them anyway. 
You cleared your throat, then began. ‘’I'm allowed to be mad at you, but I was wrong for calling you a piece of shit. You're a good person, Eddie. One mistake doesn't mean all of your intentions were bad.’’ 
You flicked your eyes to his face, which had a shield of regret over it.
‘’These past two weeks, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my room crying, but also thinking. About all the time we spent together, about all the laughs we had, about...about us. I wrote this poem and I’d like to read it to you.’’ 
Eddie cocked an eyebrow. ‘’A poem?’’ He smiled bashfully. ‘’No one’s ever wrote me a poem before.’’
You reached into your backpack and pulled out a fuzzy notebook - the one he made fun of and asked if you used it as a pillow when bored in class. You almost smiled at the memory. 
‘’I hate the way you talk to me and the way you let your hair grow. I hate the way you climb up my window just to say ‘hi’. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb rings and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much that it makes me sick - it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.’’ You took a short pause, feeling your eyes get blurry. ‘’I hate the way you're not around and the fact that you didn't call, but mostly, I ha...I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.’’
A tear slipped down your face as you closed the notebook. Eddie wanted to reach out and wipe it, but refrained. He didn’t get to do that anymore. 
‘‘That was...’’ Eddie ran a hand over his face, at complete loss for words. ‘’Fuck. I don’t know what to say.’‘ 
More tears slipped and you wiped them with the sleeve of your cardigan, staining the light colored fabric with your mascara. 
‘’I've said it before and I'll never stop apologizing, but I'm sorry for using you and hurting you, Y/N. I didn't think of all the pain I would cause, the people I would hurt. It was selfish and stupid and- I screwed up. When I went up to you that day and asked you out, I only thought about getting back at a jock that picks on me, but something happened along the way that I didn't expect: I fell for you.’’
You lifted your head, glancing at the boy in front of you. ‘’Is that right?’’
He nodded. The mattress shifted under you as Eddie scooted closer. ‘’Everything between us was real to me. I stopped pretending as soon as I realized how great of a person you are. I really regret the circumstances of how we got to know each other, but I don’t regret you, Y/N.’’
A smile bloomed on your lips. ''Really?''
He smiled back with a tinge of mischief. ''It's not everyday you find someone who gets up on a table in the cafeteria and tells everyone that she gets dicked better with me than Jason fucking Carver.’’ 
Blush crept to your face and you covered it with your hands in embarrassment, wishing to just forget that moment in your life. It had been very balls-y of you and you didn’t know where you got all that courage from. You’ll always remember the look of rage on Jason’s face, knowing your little speech would take a big blow at his reputation.
‘‘Oh god...’‘ 
Eddie grinned and a light laugh bubbled from your lips. He tucked a piece of hair behind your hear, then tilted his head to kiss you.

Like the Wolf Steve/Eddie Werewolf AU
I  have so much of this stupid thing written and it’s stuck on ch. 2 so imma just throw all the pieces up here now. 
This is a werewolf AU, not an A/B/O fic. My version of Alphas and Omegas runs like a mixmash of Patricia Brigg’s, Ilonia Andrew’s, and Carrie Vaughn’s. There is no second gender, werewolves establish a hierarchy within a pack by who is most dominant/submissive, with two Alpha’s to a pack and Omegas being an extremely rare gift.  Direct eye contact is considered a challenge and society has evolved to accept multiple types of Packs, including ones that include others beyond werewolves. All is explained in fic.
Warnings: Period typical homophobia, Eddie having trauma responses/being bullied/being hunted, mentions of Chrissy’s bones going snappy snappy,  and a general mention of the delightfully dumb social/moral/ethical issues that paranormal creatures raise.
Eddie Munson was not anyone's idea of a proper pack Alpha. 
Nor was he the kind of guy people wanted in a Pack, (capitol P intended, because “Titles are important, Edward.” and fuck did he hate when adults called him that. He went by Eddie for a reason.) or anywhere near them, period. 
Experience taught him that even in a traditional Shifter town like Hawkins, filled to the brim with werewolves and not much else, people would pick literally anyone over him when it came time to pair up.
Witches, the Fae, hell, even humans were better than him in the eyes of his peers. They wouldn’t pick him to be their PE tennis partner if he was the last guy left, let alone allow such deep and familiar actions like “treating him nicely” or “waving hello.” 
Letting him in their Pack? Any Pack, from a “true” one with the whole bond thing and fancy magic, down to the stupid social ones that did nothing more than let you know who your friends or coworkers were? 
Perish the thought!
“My mom says you’re a total freak.” One of the old-blooded, rich brats had said in third grade, and the nickname had stuck like glue ever since. 
It followed him throughout the years like it was branded on his forehead, accompanied by a steadily growing list of insults.
Weird. Faggot. Failure. Lone Wolf. 
Other.
Different.
He'd tried long ago to stop letting it hurt him. The way they made him aware that he fell so outside the realm of what others considered normal that they actively shunned him. 
It took until his sophomore year to get good at pretending it wasn’t painful, and at least by his third attempt at graduating, he had it down to where others believed it. 
Had even carved out a place for himself, starting with the Hellfire club. 
Gone about, rounding up all the other undesirables, the outcasted freaks who just didn’t fit into the stupid little social circles or dumb hierarchies of small towns the world over. 
Took in Grant the human, and Jeff the half vampire and Gareth, who was sick all the time even though he was a werewolf. 
Then the small group of incoming Freshman who’d been too loud, too proud, and far too nerdy to walk the halls without some kind of protection. 
It wasn’t much, but for someone like Eddie?
It had been everything. 
Too bad he was in Hawkins, Indiana, where people like him didn’t get to enjoy things.
Not without bad things happening.
Really bad things. 
Chrissy Cunningham pulling an exorcist level of demonic possession, dying on his ceiling, and crashing down like a broken porcelain doll to the floor of his trailer level of bad things. 
Suddenly Eddie wasn’t just the guy who couldn’t follow the same societal norms as every other bland teenage werewolf. 
He was dangerous. 
Satanic. 
His freak status elevated from “guy with long hair and weird clothes who wouldn’t stop acting like he was an Alpha” to “wolf willing to exchange his very soul in order to bring about the end of the world”-or something. 
Eddie hadn’t really listened much to Jason Carver’s rabid ranting, but he got the gist well enough. 
It didn’t even matter that for all the magic in the world, demons and satan were more of a human concept than anything that had proven, hard hitting magic sitting behind it. Satanic panic was just in, and Chrissy-
He couldn't think about Chrissy. 
Not that the  truth mattered anyway. 
No, the only thing that did was that one of their golden children had died in their town. A town they built, full of old werewolf families and a handful of powerful allies, that catered to them. 
They needed reparation for the insult that had been brought upon their power. 
Eddie was just the convenient lamb they had chosen to slaughter. 
So here he was, outcasted by the whole town. Watching as the people who hated him collectively lost their minds, regressing back to the days of one singular Pack hierarchy controlling everything. Two Alpha’s to rule them all, with Jason fucking Carver was taking on the role as one of them. 
Screw all the centuries of the world that had built past that. The way society was no longer “letting the inner beast win” but was instead getting along, moving forward. 
Eddie hadn’t needed whatever had actually happened with Chrissy to know how much of a lie it was, but then he hadn’t planed on pulling back the facade either. 
To bad for you, you idiot. 
Not that there was anything he could do. Not with his van, stupid idiotic, easy to spot van out of commission, blown up transmission leaving him stranded not even two miles from his house. He’d exhausted himself just to get to the boathouse, knowing damn well that it wouldn’t make one ounce of difference if he’d bolted or called the cops. 
They were gonna lay Chrissy’s death on his head, and now his chance to escape their wrath had all but dropped to zero. 
Best he could do was hide. Wait it out. 
Hope whatever the fuck had gotten Chrissy wasn’t going to come after him too. 
The reminder didn’t help, that he had no idea what the hell had even happened. His  mind ran in circles with his terror, trying to make sense of it, but all he could think about was how he could leave this damn boathouse. 
How he could get out.
Out of Hawkins, out of Indiana, just fucking out. 
It was that terror, the surge of adrenaline and the pure knowledge that if anyone caught him, his chances of survival dropped to damn near zero that he blamed for not recognizing Henderson’s voice. 
Hadn’t even picked up on the younger wolf’s scent, he’d been so freaked out. 
Wired with the intensity of a cornered animal, Eddie’s wolf staring out of his eyes and firmly in control the second he realized he wasn’t alone and whoever was here was calling his name, and all rational thoughts went right out the door. 
Add in Steve fucking Harrington, former King of Hawkins High and total asshole violently poking around, and well. 
There wasn’t a thought to be had at all. 
Not in Eddie’s head, anyway. 
He’d attacked when hiding no longer remained an option, proud of himself for pinning the larger wolf to the wall, snarling like the devil they thought he was. 
And Harrington-Harrington let him. 
Put his hands up as he crashed back against the wall. Kept his eyes off of Eddie’s, kept his throat exposed until Dustin could talk Eddie down. 
Explain some things.
Explain all the fucking things, which didn’t help his situation, at all, but did at least help his overall mental state. 
“We’ll work this out.” Henderson had said, voice confident, and Eddie, exhausted, starving, haunted by Chrissy’s bones snapping every time he closed his eyes-believed him.
Even if it was the stupidest thing to do. 
Because for all his bravado, all his jumping on tables and loud speeches, the Throne he DM’d from and the Hellfire Club he ran-Eddie Munson had a secret. 
He desperately, desperately, needed someone on his side.  
Anybody. 
Especially now, when he could feel himself seconds away from falling apart, life ripped out from under him a second time. 
Pity this time round he didn’t have yet another Uncle to run to. 
(It took Eddie a long time, in that same boathouse, to realize that Harrington had never retaliated against him for Eddie’s attack. For pinning him to the wall in front of his Packmate’s and making him look weak with a broken glass bottle, of all things.  
 Had in fact, backed down. 
Which was a hell of a thing, when Eddie had discovered that the damn freshman hadn’t been fibbing for fun.
They really did have a little established Pack, bonds and all, and Steve Harrington really was the Alpha in control of it. 
A born werewolf from one of Hawkins oldest families, with all their rules, fancy parties and refusal to be anything other than the best and he’d let Eddie, trailer park trash and son of two bitten, made, werewolves, pin him down like a puppy. 
If Eddie hadn’t been wrestling with the existence of a hell dimension, hand made superpowers, and the reality of a world where humans were experimenting on species of various kinds, the long held treaty laws be damned while they raced the Russians to do fuck knew what, he might have caught on that Steve was just as different as he was, a whole lot sooner. 
As it was, he just remained exhausted, hungry, and very, very grateful for the stupid freshmen.) 
                                                         xXx
Shit hadn’t really gone sideways in the boathouse until the third time Henderson's little crew had dropped off food. 
Dustin took in the look on Eddie’s face when Steve had unloaded the honeycomb cereal box, like the man had just seen water in a desert, and outright cackled. 
Eddie reached out automatically, hooking his arm around the freshman’s neck and pulling him taught to his side. Dustin shrieked as he was put into a nuggie, Eddie spinning them as the younger wolf pushed ineffectively at his arms. 
“Say uncle!” Eddie taunted with a grin.  
“Ow, ow, Eddie!” Dustin whined, before finally going limp and shouting; “Fine! Uncle!” 
Eddie dropped him with one last hair ruffle, grinning widely at him. 
Dustin grinned back, even as he pretended to fuss at his hair and clothes. “God, it’s not my fault you just realize Steve adopted you.” He said, rolling his eyes dramatically. “Why you gotta take it out on me?” 
Eddie went to automatically deny that he was taking anything out on Dustin. He was just the youngest wolf in the Hellfire Club which meant by all the rules in the universe, he was the automatic target for all teasing. 
The the kids words sunk in. 
Sunk in the same way fucking teeth went into a steak, all sharp and deep and pointed. 
Eddie froze so fast he almost nailed his face on one of the overhanging oars. 
“What?” He said, positive he misheard. 
“Those are your favorites right?” Dustin said, pointing at the offending cereal box on the ground. “He’s always been like, weirdly good at knowing what his packmates eat. I’d say it’s an Alpha thing but it’s totally not.” 
“What.” Eddie said again, his voice coming out as more of a surprised croak. 
“Max insists he pays super close attention but come on, it’s Steve. I once watched him trip trying to do the dance from the Breakfast Club. It’s absolutely just like, his weird little superpower.” Dustin hummed for a moment, face scrunched up in thought. “Like, snack-sense. Stevie Snack Sense!” 
Eddie stared, the words “Steve adopted you” and “weirdly good at knowing what his packmates eat” ping-ponging around his head. 
Henderson’s grin grew impossibly wider. “Get it? Like Scooby snacks?”  
Then he laughed his weird little cackle again, ignoring the way Eddie had crashed like one of the shitty computers their school was so proud of owning. 
‘Danger alert, the Freak is overheating. Danger alert, the Freak is-’ 
“Henderson are you coming or what!?” Steve yelled, causing Eddie to jump and Dustin to spin around, shouting something rude back.
“Keep your walkie on, okay?” Dustin said, turning back with a worried look that would have been touching if Eddie had been paying any attention at all, before scampering off to have an argument with his Pack Alpha. 
The same one who apparently, allowed such things from whiny, teenage puppies, and also, was trying to adopt Eddie. 
Into his Pack. 
Eddie just stared after them, feeling vaguely like the world no longer made sense.
Probably because it didn’t.

Mod's Self Indulgent Polyship Poll Masterpost
Hello and welcome to the poll where I cannot lose! As the winner of the next-poll poll, we mark the return of powerpolycule showdown with my own self indulgent poll, where every contest is a polyship I like so whoever wins I also win 💖
While the premise likely sounds a bit selfish, I hope you find something among the contestants that speaks to you, and maybe you'll have yourself a new polyship or even just a new piece of beloved media even if you disagree with me (which is fine!!). Do keep in mind the ships vary from canon, to personal headcanons that will never happen to "the creators were onto something here I swear but they were cowards".
Now, the rules!
Vote for whoever you like best, if you don't know them, please check out their descriptions! I worked very hard to write those.
Don't be an asshole in the notes section. If I see a fandom being particularly toxic I will disqualify that ship. You don't need to like everything, just don't be rude.
Propaganda is welcome and encouraged!
As a personal rule to myself, I left out 3 of our beloved polycules from last year because the next poll will be rare polyships, and I believe they fit that category. They will be returning there!
There will be revival rounds because I was unable to narrow the list down to 16, and I didn't want to exclude any other ships. So if a polyship you like loses their first poll, not all hope is lost!!
Not a rule, but a reminder: The inclusion of a polyship does not mean I support or condone statements from any of the cast members from the source media.

Yeah Eddie’s love language definitely biting and/or licking you, he’s “marking his territory” and I also believe his LL is also acts of service, he’ll do things for you simply because he wants you to be happy.
I think his love language to receive(?) love is physical touch and quality time. He doesn’t mind the other things but revels in those in particular. He would physically melt if you touched him, scratched his scalp with your nails, stroked his hair, hand on his shoulder or arm (he definitely try to flex if you did that), head resting on his shoulder
i don't know much about love languages. i know that everybody talks about them and everybody has theirs but i'm like. as lost as i am about the myers-briggs types (which are actually just bullshit pseudo science BUT that's not what this post is about). i think it's because i've never had a healthy relationship to base my answers off of so any time i try to take the test i'm like "people are supposed to do this shit for the people they're dating? lmao that's wild"
but i do agree with everything you said
i think eddie is kind of like a needy cat. a siamese. he likes to be close to you at all times, even if you're doing separate things, and if there's free space, he will be in your lap. he gives you little love bites at random because he's a feral rescue and chomp = ♥️
and yes, omg, touch his scalp. run your fingers through his hair and give him a kiss on the forehead and his brain cells stop working. he becomes goo. could lay for literal hours with his chin on your chest while you stroke his hair.
he also loves to shower with you. not even for sexy reasons, he just likes feeling your skin against his and being in a place that's warm and safe and confined. gives you so many forehead kisses.
he really likes reading with you too?? like even if you're in the same room reading different books he loves to just snuggle up and enjoy the quiet and the comfort and hear your opinions about whatever story you're into right now. definitely the kind of romantic motherfucker to ask you to read poetry and classic lit to him. loves poe. does not cry every time over annabel lee who the fuck told you that.
and yeah this man will do anything for you. up to and including murder. if you need something, he will provide it. as sticklery about your car's maintenance as your average dad ("have you checked your oil?" "how are your wipers working?" "it's almost time to renew your registration babe don't forget"). he just cares a lot about your safety.
the only thing i can't see him agreeing to is getting you tampons / pads if you need them. he's still a guy and still gets kinda squeamish about that stuff. hiding a body for you? sure, easy. arson? he'll make it look like an accident. telling the difference between a panty liner and a pad? taking that shit to the register and having someone actually see him with it? he's ostracized enough he doesn't need another reason for people to judge him.
and yes he does flex his arm when you touch it. you've been dating for years but he still tries constantly to impress you. he's actually surprisingly muscular so you're not complaining

Great to see your requests open again, could
I get one of my Tiefling Barbarian he's a college of Valor Bard and a Ancestral Guardian Barbarian who summons the spirits of his fallen band mates when he rages getting an epic metal accompiment. He prefers the role of roadie lifting others up and making them shine on stage but he has a cool infernal iron (electric) lute and an axe to to start. Big inspi from Eddy Briggs.

MTL Rarepair Month 2023
Tumblr media
If image is blurry, click on the image to be taken to a higher resolution version!
After a long wait, the calendar for Rarepair Month is here for May 1-27! Thank you as well for those who participated in the survey! I tried to keep in mind of everyone's suggestions!
What is Rarepair Month?
From May 1-27, this event is dedicated not only to unpopular and rarer type of ships, but to any rare pair platonic/romantic!
As doing daily challenges may not possible for some, I am including weekly challenges!
Each week has a theme, and you can use that however you want to! You can replace a day’s theme with a weekly theme, write one fic per weekly theme each week, center a theme around the challenges, anything you want! How you complete this challenge is up to you!
Excluded Pairings
Note: While these pairings are excluded, you are allowed to write OT3s of these popular ships (Ex: Charles, Pickles, and Nathan). The decision to exclude these pairings was based on AO3’s relationship tags (the pairings with over 100 fics) and just general fandom knowledge.
Skwistok (Skwisgaar Skwigelf/Toki Wartooth)
Nickles (Nathan Explosion/Pickles the Drummer)
Narles (Nathan Explosion/Charles Foster Offdensen)
Chickles (Charles Foster Offdensen/Pickles the Drummer)
FAQ
Can I post content somewhere else other than Tumblr/AO3?
Yes, you can! I might only see the challenges on tumblr, AO3, and Instagram but you can always double post to get more traction!
What is the hashtag?
please use the tag #MTLRarePair2023! (Optional but encouraged!)
Do I have to do all 27 days/Do I have to complete the weekly challenges?
It’s all entirely up to you! If you want to do one over the other, both, and/or work on them separately it’s up to you! You are not obligated to do all 27 days or all 4 weekly challenges. The point of this challenge is to have fun so where’s the fun in being stressed out?
Can I write crossover pairings? (I.E Nathan Explosion x Eddie Briggs from Brutal Legend) Self-inserts/OC x character pairings?
Of course! It wouldn’t be a rare pair event without some crossover or OC pairings now wouldn’t it?
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, but remember there is no limit to this, just do what will make this fun and easier for you! Good luck!! (Any questions will be tagged as #MTLrarepair2023qanda so be sure to check that out if you wanna see if your question has been answered!

Alternative Universes and Rarepairs go hand in hand so why not dedicate a week exploring that? Perhaps there's even an AU of an AU with your rarepair you want to explore or you've always wanted to write an AU that wouldn't have worked for your plot.

Chrissy Cunningham & Laura Palmer Parallels
I’ve made a post before about some of the narrative parallels between Laura and Will, but there are actually a lot more obvious parallels in the show between Laura and Chrissy, which only further prove my theory that Twin Peaks had to be inspiration for the show, whether a conscious choice or not.
Laura and Chrissy are both dead in the first episode.
Tumblr media
Of course, Laura is dead before the episode starts, and Chrissy dies just before the episode ends.
This also gives Laura and Chrissy similar narrative functions; they both effectively act as the inciting incident that kicks off both of their respective stories.
Laura is the homecoming queen, while Chrissy is known as the “Queen of Hawkins High.”
Tumblr media
Both Laura and Chrissy have secrets; Laura is a drug addict and a prostitute, and Chrissy similarly had a life that her boyfriend didn’t know about.
Tumblr media
Both become involved with drugs; Laura is addicted to cocaine and Chrissy was going to try ketamine with Eddie before being killed.
Tumblr media
Both are dating jocks; Laura is dating football quarterback Bobby Briggs and Chrissy is dating basketball captain Jason.
Tumblr media
Both had abusive parents; Chrissy had an abusive mom and Laura had an abusive dad.
Tumblr media
Both are being haunted by evil entities. Laura is being haunted by BOB why Chrissy is haunted by Vecna. These entities are what ends up killing both of them.
Tumblr media
Subsequently, both are trapped inside of a red space. For Chrissy it’s Vecna’s red mind lair and for Laura its the Red Room.
Tumblr media
Another interesting point— Chrissy’s mom, who looks suspiciously like Laura’s mother Sarah, is named Laura. (This is confirmed inside of Chrissy’s school file) thanks to @bylrndgm for pointing out this detail!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Smaller parallels:
Shots of them walking into the forest (for Chrissy ep 4x01, for Laura in FWWM)
Both become involved with a boy much different from their boyfriends; ie Eddie Munson and James Hurley
