The lin kuei trio + johnny,raiden and kung lao with a figure skating reader?⛸️
──★ ˙ ̟The Lin kuei trio + Johnny, Raiden and Kung lao x GN! Figure skating reader
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Bi-han ✦ 」
* Ok i known it might seem obvious that ice powers = good at figure skating but i dont think Bi han is good at it…like at all
* I don’t know this idea is kinda funny to me he tries ,then fails, gets mad and says he’ll never do it again ( if you plead with him enough he’ll try and the cycle repeats)
* Just like with the skater headcanon he has to watch from the sidelines
* Tho as an act of service (hc: his love language) he cleans your skates, makes sure they are up to code and sharpens them.
* Like with Thomas back in they’re childhood he helps you practice by changing the ground into ice.
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Kuai liang ✦ 」
* I would say Kua liang is decent at figure skating. Not disastrous like Bi han but also not 10/10 like Thomas
* He enjoys just skating in circles slowly while talking to you
* Just make sure to help him if he ever falls down so that he doesn’t melt the ice out of embarrassment
* He tries to attend every competition that your in but if he’s busy he leaves some flowers and a note for you
* Is the most supportive partner ever gives hugs, kisses, praises and so on after shows.
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Smoke/Thomas ✦ 」
*As stated in Kuai liangs sections he’s a GOD at figure skating, it’s practically his secret talent
* Both of you tend to get competitive and try to out do each other
*He sometimes overdoes the spins in an effort to win against you and makes himself dizzy
* During his childhood would pleade with Bihan to turn the ground to ice so he could practice (Bi han caved but then messed with Thomas and made him fall)
* Like Kuai liang he tries to show up to every competition that your in. Even makes those supportive homemade posters
* He tends to embarrass you sometimes but it’s out of love so you can’t get mad at him.
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Johnny Cage ✦ 」
* If you compete in any skating competitions your trophies go next to his
* He even sometimes cleans them for you
* Is always posting pictures or videos of either you performing or practicing to his socials
* You now have stan accounts dedicated to you and your carrier thanks to him
* If he ever has to play a roll that includes figure skating your phone better NOT be on silent because your the first person he’s calling up
* Takes you ice skates and costume shopping and yes he does get you custom everything as a surprise
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Raiden ✦ 」
* I feel like Raiden is less than average when it comes to figure skatting
* He doesn’t fall on his ass all the time but he still has to use a skating aid or hold on to you
* Like Kuai liang likes just slow skatting around the ring and talking or in silence while taking in your presence
* After competitions takes you to Madam Bo’s even if you didn’t win he still wants to show that you should still be proud of yourself
* Once your done with practice if he sees that your cold he gives you his jacket and always carries a thermos with hot tea to keep you warm.
Tumblr media
(Oh my god this gif)
「 ✦ Kung lao ✦ 」
* Tries to act like he isn’t but he’s scared
* After a bit of practice slowly starts to get the hang of things
* Once he’s good enough to be on his own first thing he learns is how to do a hockey stop just to annoy you
* Always brags to people about how cool you are and the amount of awards you’ve won
* Tried to write a message for you on ice ussing his hat but forgot that the skattes also leave marks so it just ended up being unreadable (you still appreciate the thought at least)
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
And another request done ! I had so much fun with this one like my brain was filled with ideas i managed to finish this in only a day and again i really enjoys doing this one :3

When You Accidentally Kill a Clown pt 8
Pt.1 pt.7 Ao3
By the time the dark knight slipped through Danny's window, they had just finished some late night Ramen (hey if they were going to face off against the Batman then they'd need something more than coffee cake from three hours ago in their stomach). It was clear that the Bat in question was doing his best at being sneaky, and to be honest, if Danny hadn't been expecting him: they would have been caught off guard in the least. However, as it were, Batman slipped silently into a well lit dorm and was met with a completely unimpressed college student.
Danny didn't even offer the man a second glance. It wasn't until the Bat cleared his throat to garner the boy's attention, that they finally pulled their gaze away from the Webb telescope livestream they had been watching.
"One second, this part's really cool," They said, turning the screen so the Bat could watch as a new image was displayed. Danny smirked a little at the man's quizzical grunt before they returned their full attention back the the livestream's host.
Danny paused the video just before the segment break and turned to Batman who had seemingly taken a much more relaxed stance as he watched the video with rapt attention.
"Told you it was cool," Danny smirked as they shut the laptop, shifting their position to face the Bat more directly whole maintaining their laid back -non threatening- demeanor. "Now what did you want to see me about? I assume it's about that clown I killed?"
"Hn," came the reply, "So it is true then? You killed the Joker?"
Danny narrowed their eyes. They had to play this right, the Batman was known to be quick to anger, afterall. And it wasn't like Danny hadn't anticipated and thought through this whole conversation on multiple occasions, it was just that they weren't best known for their planning, or tact, or thinking in general. -and maybe the bat was bit more intimidating in person-
"Yes," They found themself saying, drawing out the sounds to make more of a question than a statement. Then more surely, "Yes, I did cause the event that led to the clown's death."
___________
Bruce looked down at the kid I'm front of him, entirely aware of his status as a potential threat, yet also rather intrigued.
He was what his children tended to refer to as "adoption bait" The jet black hair, blue eyes, and ability to stare down Batman without even blinking, all set off Bruce's father instincts. Hell, instead of panicking that the Batman was in his dorm room, the boy had instead turned his laptop to continue watching a NASA livestream. All this coupled with the trauma from killing a person practically had the boy one leg into the robin costume already.
But first, Bruce had to assess the kid's threat level. It was clear from the footage he had managed to bribe out of Barbara, that the boy was a metahuman, a rather strong one at that if simply having been caught off guard managed to kill one of the city's most notorious killers. Of course, that was all the more reason to take him on as a ward. Better watched, better protected, -better controlled-.
Bruce was pulled from these thoughts as the boy closed the laptop, the video most likely having ended, and said something.
"Hn," Bruce responded, and began his questioning.
The boy admitted to killing the Joker, technically. But Bruce also took stock of the way he had worded his response, dancing around the subject as if to not outright say it.
"My sources say that you are a metahuman. What are your abilities?"
The boy scoffed, clearly building a facade of indifference to hide his anxiety. "Oh you know, plasma beams, density shifting, the works."
"Hn." The boy was hiding something. His power roster likely lengthier than he let on. The question was: whether Bruce should push or not. "Anything else?"
The boy made a show of thinking, exaggerating his movements as he rubbed at his chin. "Uuuuuuhhhhhhhh, not really no. I mean, I glow in the dark but that's not really something I like to advertise y'know? Like 'come see the human glowstick' amiright?"
That almost illicited a chuckle from the Drak Knight. *Almost*.
Last question, he thought before saying, "Are you a threat to this city?" Here Bruce wasn't really paying attention to the verbal answer as anyone one their right mind would answer to the the negative, but rather he was watching the boy's body language for a hint of darker intentions.
At the question the boy's facade dropped for a moment as if he had not been expecting that question, but it returned almost instantly with a grin akin to Jason's when he was younger. The thought made Bruce's stomach twist.
"No sir mister Batman sir!" The boy responded with a mock salute. "I promise that was a one-off thing and you won't have to worry about me any longer. Scouts honor."
Bruce raised an eyebrow, "You were a Scout?" That hadn't come up In the files.
"Nope," the boy said, emphasizing the p sound as he leaned against the wall. His face grew darker though, more serious, likely due to the frown on Bruce's own face.
"Genuine though, I promise I'm not here to cause trouble. I know you're still gonna keep tabs on me, or have Hood keep stalking me or whatever," Bruce narrowed his eyes, *Hood was stalking the boy?* "and I know you probably want me to join your furry brigade, but I'm really not interested in the vigilante stuff. Honestly I just want to get my degree and I'll keep my head down until then, promise."
Bruce didn't know how to respond to that, so he simply grunted to show he understood before heading back toward the window and slipping out.
He really hoped he wasn't making a mistake by trusting this kid.
--------------------------
Danny sighed as they flopped back down on their bed. *Ancients that was probably more stressful than it needed to be*. They laid there a moment longer, letting their nerves settle before they finally reopened their laptop. With any luck they could finish the vod before the adrenaline wore out and they crashed.
---------------
Wop wop
Danny and Jason's Date is next! I wonder if all will go as planned. We will see! Stay tuned
I love reading ya'll's thoughts so don't forget to comment/reblog
Joyous evening for all

A Working Proposal (part 1)
Tumblr media
Pairings: Chan x Reader (each chapter will contain different pairings)
Genre: Smut
Word Count: 3.8k
Warnings: 18+, minors dni, sex contracts, swearing, unprotected sex (always be safe), creampie, vaginal sex, oral sex (f & m receiving)
You had been working with Stray Kids for a while now and after a long day at work turns into a very unexpected but intriguing proposal. Will this change your world or end your career?
Chan arranged for you to come by his studio to finish going over the schedule and confirm the costuming for the next music video an shoot, which you knew from the get go was a ploy but you scheduled it into the official diary for the team so there would be no interruptions. He had told you after each of them had taken their time kissing you until your head was spinning that he would explain everything and you could make a proper decision then when you weren't getting groped, kissed and teased. You had to admit you had been pretty willing to continue your morning activities but you needed to be careful and as soon as your phone rang you stopped them quickly switched back into business mode, which amazed at least Minho and Chan who were impressed that you could switch from whimpering mess to politely capable manager in a second.
You arrived looking every bit the on track Artist Manager, tablet tucked under your arm and drinks in hand as you knocked and waited for Chan to let you in, which he did with an adorable grin on his face.
"Grab a seat and we can get started" he stepped aside keeping the charade in place until his door was closed and locked. You placed his drink on his desk and sat on his couch hoping that you didn't look too nervous.
"I'm not going to bite you" he joked smirking as he sat in his desk chair, licking your lips you shifted to sit more comfortably. "I thought you probably would like an explanation then you can ask anything you want if that's cool"
"Yeah that's probably a good way to start because I have no idea what I'm doing in this scenario" you admitted with a shy laugh as you looked him in the eye finally.
"Well our arrangement is whatever you are comfortable with mainly but it's to our advantage. We will meet up usually here for Bin, Han or me and the dance studio for the others, but since you're on staff you can easily meet us at the dorms too, we have sex and then we go on like everything is normal while we work. It's not a daily thing it's not even necessarily a weekly thing it's just when we need it" Chan explained slowly trying to make it as easy to follow as possible "We won't be paying you for this, you aren't a hooker, but some of will probably buy you things if you let us and we will always look out for you make sure your safe"
"Alright, is it all eight of you or just the six from this morning?" Your voice sounded a little breathy but you knew Chan wasn't going to judge you for it.
"Seungmin and Jeongin don't often join in, but they might want to once they know it's you, and of course if it is alright with you" Chan smiled affectionately.
"So I can choose who and how? As long as I agree to it, that is a very open ended deal Chan, what happens if I say no?" you asked slightly skeptically.
"We are never going to force you to do anything, if you show up and are happy to just make out with us, let us touch you that can be enough, but if you start saying no too often we will end the arrangement because you obviously aren't interested anymore" Chan reassured you moving to sit beside you on the couch and taking you hand in his.
"Will there be other arrangements going on at the same time?"
"Never, it is one at a time to prevent any sort of mess. There have only been four before you three of them were other idols and one was another staffer. We will ask you to sign a contract saying that you will never talk about what happened between" Chan sighed softly shifting a little closer to you.
"If we stop it goes back to how it was? I get to stay on the team?" you whispered as you realised how close you now were his hot breath fanning across your skin.
"Uhuh we're not letting you go, you're too good to us already" Chan murmured against your lips before once again pulling you into a head spinning kiss, his plump lips sliding against yours softly allowing you time to pull away, when your hand moved up his arm towards his shoulder his kiss turned fiery pulling you to him roughly to place you in his lap your hands instantly finding themselves in his hair pulling it gently. Chan groaned into your mouth as you slipped your tongue between his lips and fought for dominance with his only to lose as he pulled you harshly down against the hard on staining in his jeans.
"Fuck Chan" you gasped pulling away from his lips "Wait it's still working hours" you moaned as he kissed and nipped at your neck.
"Sorry, you're right, got too excited" he laughed airily stilling his movements allowing you to climb off his lap. "We still haven't worked out which of us your happy to do this with or what you want for your safety" he panted grinning widely
"Oh um all of you and safety?" you panted trying to calm yourself down and clear your head.
"Do you want us wearing condoms? are you on birth control? are you happy with us just pulling out?" Chan chuckled at your dazed expression as you tried to get your breathing back to normal.
"I have an implant, if you guys are all clean then I don't mind if you use condoms or not" You blinked feeling more cautious about what this was all going to mean for everyone.
"Did you want to start slow? you said you weren't too experienced so we don't want to overwhelm you" Chan smiled seductively at you making you long for him all over again.
"Yes that would be good" you nodded feeling like a deer in headlights under his heated gaze.
"Come to the our dorm tonight about 9 it will be just you and me" Chan reached forward to cup your face.
"What about whoever it was you had last night?" you blurted out without meaning to watching Chan's eyes dim slightly at the mention of the whole thing.
"We ended it after you left. I didn't want her and she never made it to the dance room because Felix freaked out after he thought he had hurt you" Chan murmured "We joined the boys in the studio to help calm Felix down and decided that it would be a good time to ask you if you wanted to join instead" He sighed gently trying to make sure you understand and you do if you agree to see Chan later tonight it's official they get to do what they want with you, when they want as long as it won't interfere with work.
"I can do 9" you whisper staring into his eyes hoping he knows how much you want this even if it's only a short thing.
"Here take this with you now and bring it with you tonight baby" Chan smirks again standing up and pulling an envelope from his bag on the floor beside his desk. "And whatever I needed to sign off on to get you here is fine"
You smile shyly in return and go to leave his studio your meeting time now over and your phone already buzzing with incoming messages and schedule information. Chan followed you the few steps to the door stopping to kiss you softly as he unlocked the door for you allowing you to leave and return to work as though you hadn't just been in his lap being kissed senseless only ten minutes earlier. Walking down the hallway you smiled sweetly as you passed Changbin and Han who both notice the envelope grasped in your hand behind your tablet as you flicked between messages their eyebrows raising in interest but not saying a word.
You opened the dance studio door and slid onto the couch pretending not to notice the glances between the boys and then at the envelope still in your hands the only people who didn't seem to notice it were the manager that you had joined on the couch and Seungmin and Jeongin who were trying to follow Minho's instructions as he counted through the eight beats of arm movements slowly for them.
"I just need to borrow Jeongin and Seungmin for about 5 minutes if that's ok" you smiled loading up the costuming work that had yet to be approved. Minho smirked allowing the boys to stop and go over to meet with you.
"Do any of you need anything?" the manager asked as he got up to leave waving as the boys gave a various chorus of no thank you he shut the door behind him.
"I just need you two to approve the costuming and then the music video can be scheduled" you grinned as each of them looked over what was planned for them.
"What's this?" Jeongin asked picking up the envelope that was now sitting uncovered on the couch beside you turning it over in his fingers slowly.
"Just something for me to go over later" you waved it off hoping he wasn't about to open it considering you hadn't even laid eyes on it yet.
"Is it from Chan Hyung?" Seungmin asked looking you straight in the eye.
"Yes" you nodded simply not wishing to lie you them but also because you could almost feel Hyunjin and Felix itching to ask you about it.
"Is it one of our agreements?" Jeongin asked shyly still looking intently at the tablet trying to hide the faint pink staining his cheeks.
"It is. Will that be a problem?" you replied softly hoping that you weren't about to upset anyone.
"No, no not a problem at all" Seungmin smirked meeting your eyes before looking and Jeongin for a moment "Hopefully your alright with all eight of us though". You felt heat flood your face and neck at his words.
"Aw do you two want a taste too?" Minho teased giggling "She tastes like sunshine I can assure you"
"Hold on you already started? When?" Jeogin gaped at Minho and Hyunjin who were laughing heartily at their reactions then back to you.
"This morning and we only kissed her don't worry you haven't missed out" Felix sighed already looking so done as the two younger ones pouted and the two older ones roared laughing.
"If you are all quite done, I need to get back to finishing the music video prep" You rolled your eyes mildly annoyed that they were being so flippant with the whole thing. You slipped the contract and tablet from Jeongin's fingers before standing up to leave the room the sounds of them dramatically teasing each other followed you until you shut the studio doors.
Your day had flown mainly due to how hectic organizing eight men who occasionally act like kindergarten kids can be, but that had helped you keep your nerves in check. Chan had texted you saying none of the others knew that you were seeing him that night and he had managed to get the others out of the dorm on the pretense of meetings with the higher up management.
Knocking on the front door of the dorm at three to nine you played with your fingers until you heard Chan turning the lock to let you in, he had already washed up his hair fluffy and soft looking and wearing only a shirt and shorts, making you feel a little self conscious that you had put in perhaps too much effort seeing that you were still in makeup and casual but still pretty clothes. Ushering you into the hallway he wasted no time pressing you back to the wall hands gripping your hips, kissing you deeply while you whimpered softly. under his touch.
"I'm glad you didn't cancel" he smiled pulling away from you and giving you a little space "I wasn't sure if you really wanted to start so quickly or if you were just trying to keep me and the kids happy" he admitted leading you further into the dorm.
"I want to do this, I can't pretend that I don't find you all incredibly attractive, I'm just nervous" you confessed right back hoping that airing your feelings to Chan would make it feel a little more natural and a little less transactional. You sat on their couch as Chan moved to the kitchen to get you both a drink coming back with two glasses and a bottle of wine.
"Despite the fact we ask you to sign a contract none of us view you as anything less than what you already are to us, we aren't going to start treating you like you are our whore or some kind of toy. Like I said this hasn't happened many times and it has never been all eight of us interested, so you are special to us" Chis dimples shone as he smiled genuinely at you pouring you a glass as you placed the envelope on the coffee table in front of you both, he seemed to ignore and rather looked at you affectionately.
"Even though Seungmin and Jeongin spoke about it in the studio today I didn't think they were serious, I thought it was just teasing like you guys always do" your weren't sure how it was going to all work but you believed Chan when he told you that it wouldn't change your work life and they would continue to respect you.
"This might be the one thing none of us joke about" Chan chuckled softly taking your hand in his caressing the back of your hand with his fingers. You felt as though he was doing his best to relax you but also be honest with you which did help to put you slightly at ease.
"Can I kiss you again?" he whispered almost innocently making your heart begin to race all over again, nodding slowly he took the glass from you and cupped your face in his large hands so carefully it was almost too sweet. Pressing his lips to yours his first kiss was chaste and soft like the first tentative kiss on a date, as you relaxed into him his pace picked up his tongue gently swiping your bottom lips asking for entrance as you both slowly let your hands begin to wander the others body.
"Should we take this to your room rather than the lounge?" you breathed against his lips when you broke away for air.
"Abso -fucking-lutely" he groaned against you getting to his feet and pulling you with him, turning you both he walked you backwards into the hall stopping you colliding with anything as you continued devouring each other. Finally reaching his bedroom door which he pressed you against kissing down your jaw and down your neck finally biting the skin at the junction of your shoulder and neck making your knees weak.
"Fuck Chan" you gasped as he laved over his bite mark with his tongue, already feeling yourself grow wetter than you had been in possibly your whole life.
"That's exactly what your going to do baby" he smirked finally getting you into his room and stripping you of your shirt. "Fuck, you are pretty in lace baby" he groaned at the partially sheer lace number you had decided to wear for him. His hands roamed your body squeezing and kneading the soft curves of your hips, arse and tits making you groan into his mouth. Moving you backwards until the back of your knees hit his bed frame before gently pushing you backwards onto his sheets.
"Open your mouth pretty girl" he instructed as he rid himself of his own clothes, his cock bouncing to attention as he stood before you, you did as you were told opening your mouth as letting your tongue stick out making him groan again.
"Fuck you might be the best one we have had yet" he grinned seductively gently tapping the tip of his dick against you tongue which you instantly slid as far into your mouth as you could making him grab your hair.
You ran your tongue along the underside as you took him into your throat, one hand moving to cup his balls and roll them in your hand alternating between gentle tugs and squeezes making Chan carefully begin fucking your throat.
"Fuck your mouth is heaven" he moaned pushing your head back slowly to watch himself sliding in between you lips as drool began collecting at the corners of your mouth "So good yet so dirty sucking your boss' cock like you were made for it" his words were making you even hotter and you couldn't help the muffled mewl that escaped your throat making him hiss in pleasure. Chan pulled you off his dick leaning down to kiss you softly and he pushed you backwards to do away with your jeans, climbing over you
"I'll be gentle with you baby, I know it's all fairly new to you" He muttered against the skin just below your ear and he mouthed at your neck.
"Chan" you panted feeling like your body was already aflame even though he hadn't even touched you "please".
"So needy baby and all mine" his voice sending sparking through your skin and he skimmed his hands down your sides to undo your pants. Pulling back from you he removed your jeans in one hard tug throwing them to the floor somewhere to be found later. covering your body again with his he placed wet kisses from your throat down your chest stopping only to tease a nipple with his tongue through the lace of your bra.
"Fuck" you gasped breathily arching into him as he pulled the lace aside to properly suck it into his mouth his tongue laving around it painfully slowly, watching your face the entire time.
"I going to make you feel so good baby" he chuckled darkly restarting the trial of kisses down your body until he came to the top of your underwear, toying with the waist band as he kissed his way to the top of your thighs making you unconsciously spread them further for him. You almost yelped as he buried his nose in your clothed core inhaling deeply and groaning "You smell like heaven I bet you taste better don't you baby"
"Please" you mewled again need him to actually touch you.
"Patience baby let me taste you before I fuck you yeah?" Chan's voice had turned far deeper than you ever imagined it could making you even wetter.
"Anything you want Chan, anything" you panted desperately
Once again he chuckled darky before pulling the lace aside and taking his first taste of you, his tongue taking one long languid lick from your entrance to your clit and back again making you almost scream, keeping his eyes on your already fucked out face he began eating you out messily varying between sucking you clit between his plump lips almost harshly and circling it with his tongue. Your head was light from the pleasure he was already given you and he had only started, moaning wantonly he took your noises as encouragement giving you clit another sharp suck before pushing his tongue into your entrance working the muscle against your desperate walls and he held your hips down now that you were bucking beneath him.
"Never been eaten properly then? We will fix that baby" he cooed softly pulling himself away from you causing you to whimper in protest "But after earlier today I have to fuck you"
Sliding your underwear off your legs, Chan again teased you by sliding the head of his cock through your wet folds rubbing your clit then back down until your moans got the better of him still sitting on his knees he slid himself into your aching core bottoming out in one slow thrust causing your eyes to roll back into your head. Grunting in pleasure he lazily started thrusting his thumb coming down to press onto your clit causing you to tighten around him instantly.
"Shit baby keep clenching like that and this time is going to be quick" he groaned picking up his pace slightly as his other hand clamped around your thigh.
"Chan oh god, Chan" your moans were loud in the empty house as you let him fuck you how he wanted, each moan of his name making him speed up until his hips were slapping against you as his cock rubbed against your walls perfectly. You weren't going to last long and you knew it but neither was Chan his grip on your leg and the rubbing of his thumb against your clit increasing every time your walls spasmed around his length.
"Baby where do you want it?" he moaned feeling his climax beginning to approach as yours sped towards you like lightening.
"Inside. Please Chan, inside" your voice was breathy and high as you struggled to make the words come out.
"Fuck so hot" he grunted viscously ponding into you faster as he lent his head forward and a large drop of saliva dripped from his lips to your clit causing you to convulse in pleasure, he grinned watching as you arched your back moaning again. Moments later you felt the knot inside you snap causing your vision to turn white as your walls clamped down on his dick and pulsed with your orgasm. Chan followed you over the threshold unable to control himself as your walls milked every last drop of cum he emptied into your tight little hole. Lowering himself onto you he gathered you into his arms holding you while you came down from your high, kissing you sweetly while still buried inside you.
Minutes passed and instead of slipping out of you and getting dressed Chan simply rolled onto his side and gathered you into him tucking your head under his chin as you panted softly.
"You ok?" his voice sounded amused and you were sure he was smirking.
"So much better than ok" you murmured still coming off your high.
"Good, I didn't hurt you did I? I didn't want to be too rough with you since you know.." Chan was gently rubbing your back making you relax against him.
"No I loved it" you admitted embarrassed that you were just freely telling him everything about you.
"You want to go again then?" He was definitely smirking this time.

Update
Hi hi, everyone. I know it's been a long time. I was actually typing up a message to @prince-infidel because of an ask they sent me, but I realized I should probably just make it a post. So I guess this is an update. Okay, short version: The end of 2022 and the entirety of 2023 was horrible for me. A lot happened, and 97% of it was not good. Now to get into a bit more specifics. While all of this crazy stuff was going on, a friend of mine really needed help with their company. They were just going through a ton, and I jumped on to help them while they were trying to figure that stuff out. Turns out that I was a good fit. So I've completely changed careers currently. Also, with all of this crazy shit going on, I stopped drawing entirely. That's a first for me. No matter what was going on, I always had my drawing as an outlet. It was very new for it to be gone. I actually only recently started drawing again, and when I say recently, I mean last week. I haven't even finished anything and my progress comes in very small doses. Baby steps I guess. Now the stuff you're actually probably interested in. Even though I haven't been drawing, I have been making art. - I've been putting crazy amounts of effort into making costumes. It's really fun and I've level grinded a lot with sewing and fabrics. I made an entire Victorian costume on my own. It was cool. - I weirdly started working on dolls? I have no idea why I started doing that. I hate dolls. - I started making weird... sculptures? I don't know how to describe them. It's basically recycling and turning materials into monstrosities for my own entertainment and to scare random people. - And I've delved more into my hobby of SFX makeup.
I have been being creative, it's just a bunch of stuff that no one cares about. It makes me happy and that's all there is to it really. Which brings me to the long version, because I have no idea how to continue this without going into details. I can only assume all of this answers anyone questions who might be curious. Time to get a bit more specific.
I don't know how to start this, so I guess I'll just say that my interests have completely moved. I think everything above should make that clear, but when I'm referring to interests, I mostly mean the things that inspire me. This is actually typical for me. I love fiction and am a fan of many, many things. I get really involved in a fandom for a while, get bored, then move on to one that is piquing my interest more. Eventually I come back and the cycle starts over. I always keep up with all of my interests simultaneously, it's just that one usually dominates the others. The thing is, comic books have completely lost my interest currently.
There's a lot of factors. I'm not going to repeat stuff that you've probably heard a thousand times from other people about the current state of the comic industry, comic writing, the movies, the video games blah blah blah whine whine whine. I think one of the big things though is that this last year has really changed me. I'm just a really different person now. I'm not that happy-go-lucky nerd I was before. I think my major concern is that I honestly think it would be fucked up if I continued to post here.
People started following me here because of my art and my posts. It would be fucked up to switch that around on them and just show back up as this different person with different art, different interests etc. I've thought about making an update on here a bunch of different times, but I never did because of stuff like that. However, in a way, it's been really nice. It's been nice to just do whatever stupid art project comes into my head, and to do it just for the sake of making something. I think dropping drawing all together (not by choice, mind you) turned out to be good for me. I think I got in tune with a creative side of myself that I'd lost a long time ago. It's been pretty neat.
I've thought about just leaving this tumblr to history. I honestly think that I should. It can be a weird time capsule of this specific fandom in this specific time period. I've thought about just making different social media accounts so that people who want to see any of my new, awful creations could if they wanted to. I don't know though. I'm just all up in the air all the time now lol
I get this isn't an "all questions answered" kinda post. Not that most people needed them, but I know that there are people who just liked my art in general and I knew they must be curious. So I hope I at least answered some stuff and gave some clarity.

Taking Stiles Stilinski to the Ren Faire
Tumblr media
Fandom: Teen Wolf
What has my coworker made me into taking me to a ren faire.
Reminder, there are male corsets, and they are sexy as fuck. This is not an afab only treat.
Okay, he has never been to a ren faire but has secretly wanted to go so bad.
Like the first time he went to a princess/knights/dragon themed party as a kid, that was it.
His mom mentioned someday they should take him to a ren faire and when she told him what it was there were stars in his eyes.
He never got to though.
One one hand he was hyperventilating overhearing you like and go to them.
On the other you know how he tries to 'act cool' because he's and idiot and tries saying that's lame, with a strain to his voice because he wants to go so bad.
Scott's the one who spills his secret, confused little head tilt and
"Didn't you always want to go to one of those when we were kids?"
Tries shushing Scott and pulling him away from you and threatening wolfsbane.
Read the room McCall.
But because you know this idiot you eventually end up inviting him to go along with you, and there's no way he would turn down an actual invitation.
So freaking excited, wants to put out a warning message to all things supernatural not to DARE fuck this up the day of the ren faire (going first day for best vendors, duh.)
He wants your help and opinions for an outfit, he will not go naked. has a huge pinterest board on a hidden account for inspo.
Ends up with a simple costume and cape because you remind him there will be so much stuff he'll want to get for his garb there.
At your house and hour early and practically vibrating when you were already planning to leave to arrive when it starts.
He sees you still getting ready and jaw drops. You decided to get dressed at home this time and he sees you adjusting yourself in your corset.
audibly squeaks when you suck in, pull the strings and cinch your corset. His mouth is open and his eyes are so wide.
Oh god. Oh god. he's dying right now.
From excited rambles about getting there on time to barely a peep as you finish up and usher him out the door.
So excited as soon as he's out of the jeep, bouncing on his feet looking out at all the stalls and tents.
Definitely makes sure you get dragon legs (smoked turkey legs) to eat and disappointed when you inform him that mutton is actually lamb.
Kid in a candy store running around, loves listening to the minstrels and buys cds.
For trying to deny interest, he is acting like the biggest nerd there. Dragging you around the check out every stall and being a little miffed when there's some 'too modern' things for sale.
You HAVE to go watch the sword fighting.
"Psh, I've fought werewolves. I could take that guy." You tell him to challenge the big guy with a wooden sword fighting little kids and he's on his ass in no time. Made the guy's day though/
His allowance and entire budget usually saved for buying Lydia gifts goes to good items and merch.
He wants to get you something matching and will really scrutinize things at random??
Loves getting pamphlets for future ren faires, always asking when you're going next. You smirk at him send Scott pictures throughout the day.
If there's stuff like jousting he is at the front of the crowd whether you're there or not.
Is so glad there's multiple changing tents so he can put on his new things immediately.
Absolutely wipeD and falls asleep on the couch still in his cape and amazon-discount leather boots. His Dad just gives you a tired questioning look and goes on his way. Makes sure the cape has him covered for the night.
The next day your friends ask if he had a good time, knowing full well with all the pictures and little videos they got.
He tries to play it off and just say how it "wasn't too bad, the drag-turkey legs were pretty good." You just roll your eyes and Malia punches his shoulder.

💫✨ people I’d like to get to know better ✨💫
thanks for the tag @caffernnn !!
last song i listened to: So I'm actually going to plug three songs that I've been absolutely obsessed with over the past weekend and have been listening on repeat as a result, all by the same artist -- Lydia the Bard, over on YouTube.
Lydia makes villain songs for the Disney princesses (among other Disney female characters). Her first handful were just lower pitched versions of their songs (or songs from their movies), but as she progressed she started changing lyrics, and now she's really grown and is making the songs more and more unique, culminating in finally creating a wholly unique villain song for Tinkerbell, which just came out and is my favorite.
"Fall Little Wendy Bird Fall" recontextualizes Tinkerbell's animosity toward Wendy. In this version, Tinkerbell and the other fairies of Pixie Hollow brought Peter Pan and the other Lost Boys there because, due to the nature of fairies' existence depending on humans believing in them, fairies were dying all around them as humans grew up and stopped believing. So the only way to secure their own lives was to make sure their humans never grew up. But Wendy threatens that by making Peter and the others long for human lives. Therefore, Tinkerbell sees her as a threat who must be taken out to save her own and her friends' lives. Not only does this song make Tinkerbell a far more compelling character, but the vocal performance is stunning, and the animatic that goes with it is amazing as well. Literally obsessed.
The other two I'm obsessed with are Meg's (where Hercules betrayed her as well & she kills Hades & takes his power) and Isabela's (where Mirabel doesn't get to her in time, and her resentment over the arranged marriage drives her to snap). Meg's is a bop and has a killer line in "In time they'll say I was cruel 'cause I cared", and I'm sorely tempted to use her final look at the end of the animatic as my Halloween costume this year. Meanwhile, Isabela's is also killer musically of course, and has equally fire lines like, "What could you possibly expect was gonna happen when you made me? / Tend to a plant with poison and expect a flower, are you crazy?" They're both just so good.
favorite color: Purple! Specifically cool shades, and especially cool shades that are more pastel, mixed with grey. I also like blues and greens that are faded like that, too.
currently watching: A little while ago I had started rewatching Sabrina the Teenage Witch since I hadn't watched it since middle school, but once I got to season four it got . . . bad . . . and it has continued to be bad . . . so I've kind of stopped watching lmao. I've lately been rewatching Jenny Nicholson's videos, but I finished that, so now I've gone back to rewatching Jenna Marbles videos. Oh, and I really love this series on YouTube called Bistro Huddy! It's hilarious, and Drew (the guy who portrays all the characters) is fantastic, he really melts into the roles so you almost forget it's one guy doing all of them. Highly recommend checking it out.
spicy/savory/sweet: Honestly depends on my mood, but I do have a strong sweet tooth, so honestly it's hard to go wrong by offering me ice cream or a cookie or something similar.
relationship status: Currently dating the lovely @skimmingthesurfaces 💜 She's actually going to be here this weekend for my birthday! (My birthday is on Tuesday, so I'm very blessed to have her with me for the whole weekend.)
current obsession(s): Aside from the songs mentioned above, I've been really thinking about one OC in particular of mine, and her story / novel . . . she's a character that I first created when I was about 13 or so, and has gone through a lot of development since then, but I've been fleshing out a lot more of her story and how she fits into this new original world I've created (since she was originally created for a Legend of Zelda role play, albeit even back then she came from a country outside of Hyrule). I really love and cherish her a lot, even though most other characters think she fulfills the "girl who is stupid" role in the adventuring party, and on some level she also believes this about herself, and to be fair she's not academically gifted at all, but to be even more fair the school and in fact overall society she was raised in was extraordinarily fucked up and no one actually tried to teach her in a way that would help her learn and in fact learning disabilities were seen as personal failings and --
Ahem. Anyway. I have long since described her as "pure of heart, dumb of ass," and in many ways she is, but for the second half, she's not in the way most everyone around her growing up assumed she was (including herself), or like, even if she is it wasn't 100% her fault (like yeah she slept in class and that was on her, but also she wasn't going to learn whether she was awake or not because her teachers were not going to be able to teach her the material because it was a One Size Fits All approach to teaching even when it really wasn't -- and that's only scratching the surface of the problems in her school / culture, it's a huge systemic thing). But yeah I've just been thinking about her a lot. Karin's my girl and I love her lots.

a day late because yesterday i was tooooo busy! some spoilers in here for dungeon meshi and saltburn!
listening: mostly background stuff. i still haven't played more nier: automata but the boyf got me listening to the soundtrack and it whips.
reading: more tgcf at night to soothe my frenzied brain to sleep. i finished dungeon meshi yesterday!! i did cry!!! it was so, so good, i loved it. i really liked that there was no set antagonist, per se, at least not until the very end with the fight against the winged lion, it was all just a bunch of characters with different but justifiable goals that had their aims all butting up against each other. very cool. i love kabru what a little shit
a collection of some good screenshots:
Tumblr media
watching: many things this week. my partner is visiting for the week and we like to have videos on while we're cooking n eating so we watched...essentially the entirety of weird history food channel, started with the trader joes one and spiraled from there.
youtube
we also watched the currently-released episodes of dungeon meshi. very charming. i cannot wait to see how they animate certain scenes.
on sunday night we did a friend dinner, so me and my boyfriend, roommate and hers, and one other friend; after dinner we movie night-ed it and watched saltburn and blazing saddles:
saltburn was insane! apparently there is shock and alarm at the sex scenes, which i am not very online about it so i have no idea what people are actually saying but imo it was not that crazy. there is a solo, uh, let's call it Moment towards the end of the film that is pretty out there, but besides that the sex scenes are the least of anyone's worries in this movie. it took me WAY too long to realize that the main character was the antagonist, i'm normally pretty savvy to those kinds of twists so that took me off guard. my roommate had seen it once (or even twice?? i think?? i have no wish to watch that movie again, good for her though) and i didn't start clocking it until immediately before felix tricked oliver into going home. as they were in the car i was like "there's no fucking way that he lied about his family to felix. right. right??" oops. some good cool symbolism in there, i had a bit of an xkcd "of course everyone knows this myth" moment when my roommate was like "huh i wonder if there's a symbolic reason for the bull-man statue in the maze at the end, or felix's angel wing costume" and i was like surprise pikachu. the minotaur, the labyrinth, icarus, hello? wdym you don't know the story of the minotaur??? much to think about with this movie. i searched it on tumblr and feel like a lot of people missed the point in favor of blorbo romance but like, fair, it is the blorbo romance website. 8.5/10.
blazing saddles was our palette cleanser after that doozy of a film. my friend said at the end "anyone who thinks this movie is racist needs better media literacy" and i'm inclined to agree. yes the n word is in there - but the people saying it are so unambiguously depicted as insanely stupid and wrong, and the leading man is a charismatic handsome black man, and tbh the smartest person in the movie? arguably more homophobic (the end scenes) than racist but even then the way 'f*ggot' is deployed hit me like modern tumblr humor.
youtube
idk. even though it's a comedy it is Very clear to me that a message from this movie is "Racism Bad". i thought it was fun, didn't find the blonde lady's musical number very good or funny, got a few chuckles out of it overall. classic mel brooks. 7/10.
playing: wizord101.
making: started experimenting with english paper piecing! i forgot to take a picture yesterday so ill try to remember and add that later today. or maybe for next week's post. also started a pair of fingerless gloves for my mom
eating: my boy made us all a budae-jjigae type object on sunday and it was so so so yummy - photo from before simmering for like 30 minutes, with pork belly, spam, tofu, and a bunch of mushrooms, grunions, and kimchi:
Tumblr media
before my roommate came back from a conference we did this cabbage and thin-sliced hotpot beef thing that was. so fucking good. we had it two separate nights in a row. just layering meat and napa cabbage and then cutting into ~2in strips, laying them in a pot, filling the center with mushrooms; make a broth of soy sauce/dashi/misc soup stock powder from leftover ramen, pour it over, simmer til cooked baby. delicious. this image is a little steamy bc i tried to take it right after opening the pot, lol
Tumblr media
misc: wough. struggling to get back into the routine a little. i need to make more spreadsheets for my agonies (apartment hunting and determining what internships/programs to apply to for this summer). and i need to start using my planner again because i keep forgetting to do shit.

my @mcytblraufest gift for @whoretimeswithscar! an over the garden wall au with mcyt characters! if youre unfamiliar, over the garden wall is a cartoon starring two brothers, wirt and greg, who find themselves lost in a place called the unknown and try to find their way around home, meeting many people including someone called the woodsman and a talking bluebird named beatrice.
starring: wilbur as wirt, the older brother; tommy as greg, the younger brother; grian as beatrice, the bluebird but as a parrot, + other cast and stuff under the cut! cause i made a BUNCH for this apparently.
charlie slimecicle as jason funderberker the frog! he's basically the brothers' pet frog, and he gets a musical number in one of the episodes!
Tumblr media
AND a bunch of screenshot redraws from the opening sequence (on youtube, also dont watch after the title card at abt 45 secs in if you dont want spoilers from the end)
although i think the next stuff do have some spoilers for some characters
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
characters in order: charlie, grian, joe (and cleo in the painting), stress, and gem!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then bad as the woodsman, dream as the beast, and then skeppy!
okay really going into spoiler territory here for the characters:
wilbur and tommy are wearing lmanburg/or just revolution uniforms in general as halloween costumes! wilburs are too short on him, and tommys are too big. tommys wearing red rainboots cause he doesnt have fancy ones like wilbur already had.
charlies just a slimy frog with glasses. no one knows how they stay there, there's no tape or anything. also he has. teeth. no reason at all tbh, and he also doesnt speak yet like in canon aside from the musical numbers.
grian as beatrice! i mean, he does seem like the type to get his family cursed because of shenanigans.
joe hills as quincy endicott and zombie cleo as margueritte grey! i really like this idea hehe. the premise of endicotts episode is that hes an eccentric lonely rich guy with a huuuge mansion who thinks is haunted, or that he might just really be going mad. turns out that his mansion was just so huge that he didnt realize that it was two mansions joined together, and that the resident of the other mansion, margueritte grey, was the ghost he thought he was seeing, and also thought he was a ghost. so like shenanigans with joe and cleo lmao.
stress as auntie whispers and gem as lorna! lorna is a young sick girl who lives with auntie whispers, but turns out her sickness was an evil spirit possessing here and forcing her to devour people, she didnt know tho i think and thought auntie was evil and forcing her to do chores. auntie whispers was like a really creepy evil looking old woman but turns out she was nice, just evil and creepy looking.
bad as the woodsman and skeppy as the woodsmans daughter! and dream as the beast. the beast was this.. idk he was the beast. an evil spirit taking children lost in the woods? the woodsmans daughter had gotten lost in the woods and the beast told the woodsman that the lantern contained his daughters soul, and he had to keep it lit of else his daughter was dead forever by chopping edelwood trees and turning them to oil as fuel. and then turns out the beast was just tricking him
also! the unknown is like, im pretty sure is supposed to be the afterlife? or like limbo, or as u had mentioned in your request notes, dantes inferno! when you mentioned dantes inferno, and limbo, and cool imagery, otgw was the first thing that came to my mind! i had just watched this one video essay about otgw being a modern retelling of dantes inferno before i recieved your request lol. cause wirt and greg were supposed to be drowning while they were in the unknown i think.
also!! for the first drawing, the scene is like, not rly anything specific for the show, i just thought it looked cool. and i somehow had the idea to. make it a painting. again. against all previous experiences of paintings being absolute slogs to finish. they almost always just reach the point of i dont even want to look at this anymore its good enough, but im really love how this one came out!
i had a few other au ideas i was thinking of before i did this one, i didnt manage to do them mostly bc it was always like. wayyy out of my artistic skills and also i didnt know how to make them make sense or execute them well enough.
previous ideas included: some sort of adventure story/comic/chose your own adventure/small rpg/point and click adventure/idk of limbo and exploring people's limbo, such as wilbur in the train station, schlatt in the gym, tommy in a void, grian in the middle of 3rd life and last life, etc. and the vibes i was looking for like victorian impossible mansion with shifting rooms or smth and also these kinds of stuff like a small pixel art point and click exploring of limbos
and also an ibong adarna au (????) its a filipino story of a prince journeying to capture the legendary bird, ibong adarna, to cure his sick father, and he had two older brothers who also failed bc they werent kind to a beggar in the street who turned out to be a sorcerer(?). basically, wilbur, techno, and tommy as the princes, with tommy as the youngest who succeeded bc he was kind, charlie as the ermitanyo/beggar?? and grian as the bird?
ANYWAYS thats all very sorry for the literal freaking wall of rambling text here much apologies for the lateness and hope you enjoy it!!

That was such a freaking wonderful video, and worth all of the waiting and internal hype we’ve all had about it. I cannot believe they did this again, and did it so damn well. I feel like I’ve not really processed at all. The outfits that Phil chose were all so freaking good? Like a mix of cool, silly and funny, but what really sold me was the reactions to everything.
They are just so damn fond and funny together and even with Phil off camera almost all of the time, you never for a second doubt his presence because Dan’s eyes are always always looking at him and his reaction first and foremost. He’s filming content for his viewers sure, but the two of them are also just goofing around and allowing us all to join in.
It’s like we were sitting next to Phil and giggling with him, as he showed our suggestions and “made” Dan dress up. It felt like grabbing a snack, and sitting shoulder to shoulder with a friend while making another friend do stupid shit just for the hell of it. And bursting out into laughter together with them both.
I lost count of how many times they laughed, how many times I laughed. I can’t even tell you how many times I had to pause the video and take a minute to just live in this happy and giddy space before I continued.
They are so silly, so gay, so confident, so at ease. It’s such a pleasure to watch, and it makes me want to go right back and watch it again, after finishing.
I also love that we got Dan in not one but three skirts! The fact that he teased it after the nun costume thing, but I was not expecting so many skirts! And he looked good! (except in that last abomination). And the furry outfit being revenge for the cheese dress was such a funny bit. To think how far they’ve come since Phil’s first viewers pick my outfits! That was five years ago and it feels both like ages ago and like it could have been last week.
Dan’s reaction to anything with colour in it was so damn funny, we know he’s a monochrome boy but he does look great in colour. That soft boye outfit looked good on him, fight me. And all the damn accessories and shoes too! Even though they got actually hurled at his head. Incredible miracle that no one ended up blinded.
Also Phil having to go behind the curtain and help him with the ear ring! Like honestly just all of the ways Phil was both cheering him up from the sidelines while roasting him. They wouldn’t be who they are without their banter.
And Dan actually looking confident in some of the outfits and clearly liking what he was seeing, aesthetic or not. I was also reminded entirely too much of how tall and long he is, like so much torso and legs. We often see him sitting, or camera focused midriff up, so full length Dan is always a bit of a shock.
I just know this video will be one that I come back to whenever I need a laugh and to be reminded of how fond I am of these two tall British dorks. Truly an astounding and worthy addition to the Viewers Pick Outfit series!

Happy Halloween my Valentine! 🎃🖤
Please, if you would share some thots about convincing the boys to join you (and the rest of the gang) in a group costume.
My valentine and the love of my life <3 Anything for you forever and always.
🎃🍂🍁🎃
Pumpkins and a Nerd Posse
Eddie Munson x Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader
Warnings: nothing except a little bit of romantic competition and a blissfully unaware you...so far
You just know that Steve's going to be the wet blanket about it. Eddie, however, is down from the moment that you say the word "costume." He's got ten different ideas by the time you finish the question to begin with. After a little bit of push and pull you two have put your heads together and come up with the perfect group costume - a mix of characters from the Lord of the Rings (of course).
You and Eddie spend an entire weekend making the costume from an assortment of blankets and clothes you find down at the local thrift store. Robin is super down and helps with cobbling the pieces together since she (apparently?!) is good at sewing. You conscript Dustin to help make props, and he, in turn, pesters Max, Lucas, Erica, Mike, Will, and El into helping (which they do with plenty of grumbling, but one stern look from you, the backup babysitter, and they are zipping their lips and getting to work).
When you finally tell Steve, dropping by with Eddie during a Friday night shift at Family Video, Steve is predictably uptight about it.
"No. If I have to dress up, it's gonna be something cool and on my own. You're not roping me into your little nerd posse."
You go to argue with him but Eddie steps in with a hand on your shoulder.
"Why don't you go pick out some movies with Robin for the horror movie marathon. I'll handle Harrington."
You skip off immediately, more than happy to leave Eddie to deal with Steve Stick-in-the-Mud Harrington. You don't hear this next part, where Eddie leans forward, forearms on the counter, but that's just as well. You have absolutely no idea that for the last year, Eddie and Steve have been separately - and conspiratorially - pining over you from a distance. It's a twisted little situation, caught somewhere between support and competition, but either way, their individual obsessions with you is something they have bonded over.
"Harrington, you're gonna want to get in on this group costume thing."
"I've already told you guys -"
"Dude, she's dressing up as a sexy elf," Eddie stage whispers, his eyes darting across the room to your oblivious form and back. Steve's eyes widen and he, too, looks over at you quickly.
"She's...how sexy are we talking here?"
"Oh fuck off, man. Let's just say she won't be winning any authenticity prizes with J.R.R. Tolkien if you know what I'm saying."
"What the fuck is a 'J.R.R. Token'?" Steve asks, confusion contorting his face. Eddie closes his eyes to keep from overreacting.
"You're such a - ugh. Look, it doesn't matter. All I can say is, I've seen the costume and...it's not much costume. Catch my drift?"
Steve's eyes practically roll back in his head.
"God damn it, you got to see it already you lucky bastard?"
"Easy now, don't get a bat out anything. I haven't seen her actually in the costume yet, I just saw it laid out with the other costumes. But let me tell you, it is not something to miss."
Steve scrubs a hand over his face in agony. He looks back at you across the room through his fingers.
"Ok but can't I just dress up in a normal costume and enjoy her looking sexy? Why do I have to join the loser brigade?"
"First - ouch, man. You spend enough time with us that you're pretty much brigadier general at this point, so fuck you," Eddie points out, reaching over and flicking Steve's nametag off his vest, just for effect. Steve flails accordingly. "And second - you really think she'll get over you saying no to her group plans? You and I both know she'd be pissed and wouldn't speak to you the entire party."
"Ugh, you're right," Steve says, defeated, running a hand through his hair. Eddie runs a hand through his own hair, as if somehow influenced by Steve's anxious motions.
"Although on second thought I'm not sure why I'm working so hard to convince you to join. If she's mad at you, gives me more of a chance to make my move..." Eddie adds, seemingly coming to the realization slowly while he speaks. Steve stands up straighter and bellows across the room to where you and Robin stand debating over Return of the Living Dead and Night of the Creeps.
"Alright! I'll be part of your little band of Halloween weirdos!"
You and Robin cheer and jump up and down, missing the next part of the boys' interaction entirely. Steve turns back to Eddie, folds his arms across his chest, and gives him a smug smile.
"May the best man win," Steve quips. Eddie suddenly smiles back, so confident it makes Steve's smile falter.
"He will. You're forgetting that the Lord of the Rings isn't just her favorite book, it's mine as well."
The color drains from Steve's face at the implication of his inadequacy. Meanwhile Eddie ushers you back over, rental picked and now in hand. You give Steve a little wave and promise to send him information on the upcoming Halloween party. You step out into the parking lot completely unaware of the tension behind you. Before following, Eddie salutes Steve one last time.
"Tally ho, general. You might want to catch up on some reading."
Steve throws up two middle fingers and Eddie sails out of Family Video in a fit of laughter.
🎃🍂🍁🎃
I...I think I'm doing a part 2...stay tuned.

Shizuru: Hahaha! I thought it would suit you! A cartoon-character costume of a reindeer!
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: ....
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Since Yukina-san is coming all the way here, I thought I'd kill it today...
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: When you said "something nice", I thought it definitely meant "cool clothes", but…
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Hey, Kazu! Try it on once!
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: …at me
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Eh?
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: This … dressed like this! Yukina-san will laugh at me!
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Wait…! Kazu!
Tumblr media
Shizuru: ........
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Maybe, I did a bad thing...
[Botan, Keiko, Yusuke, and Yukina arrive at Kuwabara's house]
Tumblr media
Botan: Kuwa-chan, where did he go?
Tumblr media
Keiko: I know, even though the chicken is roasting by now ... there is no sign he's coming back at all.
Tumblr media
Botan: He left around noon, didn't he? I hope he didn't get caught up in any weird situation.
Tumblr media
Yusuke: Don't worry, he'll be back when he's hungry, I'm sure.
Tumblr media
Keiko: Jeez, Yusuke! Aren't you worried?
Tumblr media
Yusuke: It's that guy we're talking about, he's gonna be fine.
Tumblr media
Yukina: Kazuma-san, I wonder what happened to him…
Tumblr media
Botan: Shizuru-san, don't you know the exact reason?
Tumblr media
Shizuru: …Yeah, I don't know.
Tumblr media
Botan: I see … Should we go look for him in a little while?
Tumblr media
Yukina: Yes, I'm worried.
Tumblr media
Shizuru: *Puff*, oh my  … I should have considered his feelings a little more.
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Kazu...
 [On the streets...]
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Phew....
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: It felt good to burst out of the house, but now I can't go back…
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: I came out with the character costume in my hands…
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Nee-chan went to a lot of trouble to get it for me. I did a bad thing, didn't I?
Tumblr media
???: Huh, Kuwabara-kun…
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Oh?
Tumblr media
Kurama: What's the matter? I didn't expect to see you at a place like this.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: It's Kurama! Why are you here…
Tumblr media
Kurama: I was supposed to join the party later. Kuwabara-kun, why are you here?
Tumblr media
Kurama: I thought you were definitely with everyone else.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Ah, well, I mean…
Tumblr media
Kurama: Oh, is that reindeer…?
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Ah! Err … ahh … that…
Tumblr media
Kurama: ........
Tumblr media
Kurama: If you feel like it, would you like to chat for a moment?
Tumblr media
Kurama: Also, standing here while talking, right? (Why don't we go somewhere else?)
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Kurama...
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: My bad, thanks.
[Kurama and Kuwabara talk in a better place...]
Tumblr media
Kurama: …I see
Tumblr media
Kurama: Shizuru-san had good intentions when she bought that costume for you.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Yeah.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: I'm sure she picked this one out for me, because it would be a blast if I wore it...
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: But ... Today, I get to meet Yukina-san for the first time in a while.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: At least on an occasion like this, I wanted to look cool...
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: When I thought that, I just ran out of the house.
Tumblr media
Kurama: Is that so?
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Yukina-san will laugh at me if I wear this red nosed reindeer…
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: But, I'm more laughable for worrying about such thing…!
Tumblr media
Kurama: You already understand that Shizuru had no bad intentions, right?
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: …Of course.
Tumblr media
Kurama: He-he, that's fine then.
Tumblr media
Kurama: It's a waste not to attend such a special party, because of those sad feelings.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: That's right … But, how can I go back at this late hour…
Tumblr media
Kurama: I was on my way too. If you go with me, it'll be fine.
Tumblr media
Kurama: Isn't Yukina-chan also waiting for you?
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: .....
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha … I see. I seem so insignificant for worrying so much about it!
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Kurama, thanks.
Tumblr media
Kurama: Not at all. Well then, let's head to the party.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Yeeesss!
Tumblr media
*rustle* *rustle* (Kuwabara is changing clothes)
Tumblr media
Kurama: ...Hmm? ...Huh!?
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Hehehe…
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: I'll light up the dark night streets with my shiny red nose!
[At Kuwabara's House]
Tumblr media
Shizuru: I'm gonna go look for him.
Tumblr media
*ching ching* (sound of chime)
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Huh?
Tumblr media
Yusuke: Ahh! You're late!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Ta-dah!
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Mr. Red Nosed Reindeer has brought Kurama!
Tumblr media
Botan: What is that outfit! It suits you!
Tumblr media
Yusuke: You made us wait! You were with Kurama?
Tumblr media
Kurama: I ran across him.
Tumblr media
Yukina: Kazuma-san! I was worried when you didn't come back.
Tumblr media
Yukina: He-he, the reindeer is cute.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Yu, Yu, Yukina-san…! Isn't it funny?
Tumblr media
Yukina: Yes! It's very Christmassy, and also looks very nice.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Hahaha...! Yu, Yukina-san's outfit is also reindeer...
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: I, I, I'm so glad we're matching!
Tumblr media
Yusuke: What's that lewd look on your face? I'm starving because of you.
Tumblr media
Keiko: Well, now that everyone is here, let's start the party!
Tumblr media
Botan: Ahh, I'm hungry too!
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: As an apology for being late, I'll carve the chicken! Just a minute!
Tumblr media
Shizuru: I'll help too.
Tumblr media
Shizuru: ...Hey, Kazu.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Hmm?
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Well … I mean... I should have thought about your feelings too.
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Sorry.
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Nee-chan…
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: Ok, it's okay! It's a big hit with everyone!
Tumblr media
Kuwabara: I'm a reindeer, so I'm also matching with Yukina. I'm the luckiest person in the world!
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Jeez, you're such an idiot.
Tumblr media
Yukina: Oh, what is this drink?
Tumblr media
Kurama: This is grape flavored soft drink. It's bubbling and delicious.
Tumblr media
Kurama: It's a Christmas staple, and often sold at this time of year.
Tumblr media
Botan: Come on, let's open it earlier!
Tumblr media
Shizuru: Well then, I'll do this.
Tumblr media
Shizuru: One, two, go!
Tumblr media
Shizuru/Kuwabara: Merry Christmas!
 -The End-
Who needs a shrink when you have Kurama to give you advice (lol)? Shizuru's costume is called "Empress of the Holy Night", she does look like a queen! OMG, was it really a toast without alcohol? Where is Atsuko to bring the champagne?
Besides new illustrations of Shizuru and Kuwabara wearing Christmas costumes, this story brought back Botan, Keiko and Yukina wearing cute costumes. I wish Yusuke and Kurama were also wearing cool outfits. Invite Hiei next time!

halloween with boys :))?
—𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗖𝗟 𝗕𝗢𝗬𝗦 + 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗠𝗘𝗦
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
—pairing; ot5 x f!reader
—genre; fluff.
—warnings; none.
—a/n; thanks for requesting love! i still have another request, i promise im working on it! if you also want to request a hc, ill be glad to write it<3
Tumblr media
—𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗟; vampire.
CASS IS SO EXCITED
ofc he would pretend he isn't
but secretly, he's been planing your couple costume a few weeks ago
i feel like he REALLY loves halloween
or maybe he just likes scaring people and having a reason to do it
anyway
he keeps doing it to nath and ken
they hate him for it
but he laughs his ass of as he tells how loud their screans were
when the big day comes, he would shyly confess you that he already got your costumes
you would laugh and call him cute
he would blush but then brush it off making fun of you
as he always does😤
castiel took you to a hallowen party
it had amazing atractions
you two went to a scary house
he OBLIGUED you to go
it was an excuse to hold you
he couldnt help it
after it finished
he laughed at you and called you a baby
anyway
he made it up tomyou by buying you a really cool shirt
overall: you would def have fun with cass during halloween.
—𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗟; police officer.
nath isn't a big fan
he thinks halloween is a nonsense holyday
but, he ends up celebrating it if you really like it
he would even agree to get a costume
and ofc you would MAKE HIM wear a police officer costume
and tbh he looked really hot
anyways, your plans at first were to stay home
but, some of your friends were throwing a halloween party, and you two were invited
he picked you up, and you two arrived to your friend's house
it was REALLY hard to convince him
and he acted as if he didnt wanted to go
but then he went crazy
drinking, dancing, even doing karaoke
you would film him and take a LOT of pics of him drunk while singing his favorite song
when he woked up the other day, he didnt remebered anything
so, you showed him the video
he was soo embarrased
let me tell you that you will have a hard time convicing him to go to a party w you next halloween.
—𝗟𝗬𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥; mad hatter.
i think lys is kind of used to halloween because of castiel
he used to also drag him to celebrate his favorite holiday with him
thats why he cant deny you when you invite him to decorate pumpkins w you
its kind of cliché
but, he really likes it
you two made a whole pumpking thing with candles and all that
and, used it to decore the school as they were organizing a halloween party
he didnt know if he actually wanted to go
but castiel and you took him anyway
(altought it wasn't really hard for you to make him wear his costume)
he was kinda uncomfy at first
but then he ended up having fun
halloween felt different w you
i mean, he liked going with his best friend
but you were you
and you gaved halloween, a holyday he didnt liked much, a new a meaning
and, as long as it means spending time with you, lys loved halloween.
—𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗜𝗡; ezio auditore.
he really likes halloween
mostly because alex and him spend their whole time playing pranks
on
e v e r y o n e
ok, so
this is cannon
his costume is ezio
anyway, he doesnt really need an excuse to cosplay a character of a game he likes
but, it was an excuse to make YOU cosplay someone
he really had to work hard to convince you
but when he did, he was really happy
armin throwed a huge party at his house and invited everyone
and he OBLIGUED them to come cosplayed
and he def made fun of everyone
every single person
if castiel camed with a costume, or kentin
neither him or alexy would stop repeating it for the rest of their lifes
but it was different w you
he loved how pretty you looked
and he made sure you knew it
he complimented you the whole night and took a lot of pics
he made polaroid and gave it to you as your first halloween as a couple.
—𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗡; jacob black.
i think the fact that ken made you watch the whole saga of twilight w him its totally canon
in case you hadn't ofc
so, he decided to dress up as jacob
he kind of felt identified with his character
and, as a matter of a fact
he made you dress up as bella
he took a lot of pics too
and published them in every social media
he loved showing you off and how pretty you were that night
he liked that part of halloween
parties, costumes, the decoration..
the part he didn't liked much, was the prank part
the twins loved to make everyone angry by pranking them all the time
and let's just say kentin was his main target
but anyway, none of that really matters to him
because, since he met you
he wanted to spend this holydays with you
no matter wich one is
he loved you so much
thats why you made everything better for him.

So I finished reading all three of the Strahd stories written by PN Elrod and I have a lot of thoughts (btw I call her version 'Caretaker Strahd' and consider him a different character to 5e Strahd)
SPOILERS FOR THE STORIES UNDER THE CUT
strahd is so definitely a gamer, I could totally imagine him showing off his setup and pc if he lived in modern times
he'd have those cool ones that flash when you type on them and really expensive gear too, he's somehow found out how to play video games despite computers not even being invented in his time
That thing he does where he possess someone else is SO UNDERUSED omg, what are the limits? Can he possess wolves and bats if he turned into them first? Possess dire wolves?? Dragons???
since vampiric charm in 5e only works on humanoids I'd assume that his version of it also only works on humanoids, except that he was able to possess another vampire in the same way so maybe his works on undead too
WHICH MEANS HE CAN BUILD A FLESH GOLEM AND POSSESS IT
fanfic where Strahd builds a mecha and kicks ass
i'd imagine his first mecha would be a robotic version of himself that uses the weird potion as fuel so he can go to other domains (and also has a self destruct button to avoid another 'Azalin's ANGY' incident
his second one might be a giant wolf with him in wolf form piloting it with the magic ball, because a four legged mecha is easier to build than one with 2 legs
also I can't shake the thought of him asking for Barovians to pay taxes in the form of blood donations
I mean for one thing he wants to survive and not let people know he's a vampire but come on are you going to eat your townsfolk when you run out of prisoners?
it's slightly better when he says that he can use his mind control powers to make them forget that he drank from them but stillllllll :(
according to Azalin the most experimentation he's done about going into the mists is the thing with holding a string and running in, and tbh that's like the only thing I agree with Darcelus on
like dude you've been alive for hundreds of years and you're too horny about some redhead to investigate wtf is going on?
makes you wonder how much he knows about the sunlight burning him as well
if I were a vampire I would be testing this out every day and try to develop some kind of sunlight proof outfit to go outside with, and if people ask what I'm wearing I'll just say I have a skin condition
OH and since people are bound to take notice of his mechas he's building, maybe he can excuse this by saying he needs blood to power his mechas
so now he doesn't need to bite his villagers :D
and about the way he can make an outfit that sunlight proofs him- I have an experiment in mind. If he can metabolise, then he can cut pieces of his hair and put them under sunlight and look at them under a magnifying glass to see how they burn. And he can slot materials such as cloth etc between the sunlight and his hair to see if it blocks out the sun, and maybe he leaves it there for a few hours to see if it ACTUALLY blocks out the sun and isn't just burning there but slower
maybe the vision part will be harder to do since IDK if UV ray resistant glass even exists here, but maybe he just casts a spell on the costume so he can see out of it
and he can just put on an entire suit of armor over it assuming it's cloth and then he can go out in public in daylight- he doesn't need to breathe so suffocation isn't a problem
alternatively he can hide his ridiculous clothing by casting disguise self but he probably has already solved that problem
i sure hope vampires don't sweat
I don't think they do but if he does, I don't think he'll like it one bit
I lowkey headcanon him as autistic because he's good at keeping a straight face, hates being social (to the point where he will throw letters at people from the shadows rather than talking to them directly), once stared for ages at a wall because he was angy, identifies with animals more than people, and idk he probably has some sensory issues from how strongly he reacts to certain smells
or maybe I just can't feel pain idk lol
i wonder if Sergei and/or Tatyana were polyamorous, he sure as hell never asked them first
wonder how much it would explode his head if it turns out centuries later that they were poly all along and he killed Alek and Sergei for nothing
:(
but also >:]
Strahd said that kissing women felt nice but he doesn't really want to do it because he hungers for blood and he has to repress it, why does he hunger for people aside from Tatyana it seems?
hmmmmmm I have never ever seen ANYONE react to a person irl like how Strahd reacts to Tatyana, and it seems like I'm not the only one who finds it sus. Not just like in 'gee you really shouldn't be this obsessed over a girl' kind of sus, sus to the point where people theorise that she's a succubus or something. SO I'm thinking, does Strahd look inside and wonder why he's so attracted to Tatyana? like... he's not very curious or scientific the way Azalin is, so he probably didn't investigate it and he isn't the introspective type AT ALL so there maybe isn't a lot of looking into it that he did
my headcanon is that something happened between him and Tatyana in another life, maybe he was already cursed from there or something
because his crime wasn't that bad in comparison to other darklords.... killing two people vs mass murder
crack theory- Tatyana is a darklord as well and stuck in the same domain as Strahd, in a past life she cast a spell on him that made him fall in love with her madly, but her curse is that he will never be able to be with her and that she won't recognise him from the past life
because ngl her situation seems worse than Strahd in some ways
still I would REALLY love to know if there was any more background to Strahd's obsession over her other than 'tatyana's hot'
just scrolled to the top and remembered that since Strahd has some sick writing skillz, he would make an amazing youtuber as well
he'd be able to write something like the DSMP for money and entertainment purposes
that is a cursed line why did i write that lmao
wonder how he'd do as a streamer
I don't think he'd be a streamer since he seems to love his privacy and his autobiographies seem reserved for meeting people he really trusts and showing them his life story without having to sit down and explain it through because he hates social stuff
so his autobiographies are partially propaganda but really it has a lot of secrets so it's possibly to get people to like him
Azalin said that Strahd had a weird/ random sense of humor so I would really like to see how he responds to memes or if he would make them
Strahd REALLY goes out of his way whenever possible in his autobiographies to be like "actually no I'm not that nice, I'm doing this semi nice thing because of xyz" to the point where I'm suspecting he's trying to cover up the fact that he cares about stuff more than he actually does but he's trying to be intimidating
he obviously feels emotions and is sad about Sergei and Alek but he's an emotional repression person and probably tries to hide ANY kind of pain that isn't Tatyana related
I really want to know what would happen if he met Sergei or Alek's ghost.................................................
I feel like a bunch of scenes in the books may have been for fanservice to some degree lol (cough cough strahd taking off his shirt cause he doesn't want it to get ruined by swords cough)
idk what Strahd has going on for Van Richten but it's funny how he just saw one random guy and went 'ok I trust you, here's my entire life story' twice
another user said Strahd was trying to seduce Van Richten because of how he let him go free after Van Richten read his first autobiography, then probably arranged an illiterate thief to carry his other autobiography to the exact bookstore where Van Richten likes to hang out so he could read it in the perfect time frame, and then send a minion to pick it up afterwards lol
TWAA was so full of cartoon physics it was funny to imagine lol
Why did Strahd imagine such oddly specific scenarios such as Azalin going mountain climbing while casting spells and himself trying to grab a carrot off Azalin while Azalin twirls it around on a fishing rod like Strahd's a minecraft pig
Strahd's so done with Azalin by the end he just lets Azalin bow his spectral form like a sockpuppet :sob emoji:

Nativity in Black
i forgot to post yesterday so here, take this; the first chapter to my first long fic!
Title is from N.I.B. by Black Sabbath. Yes, I know that's not what the name actually means but it sounds cool and it'll all make more sense later in the plot.
Modern AU with Rockstar!Eddie and Choreographer!Steve.
~~~
"C'mon man, it's not that bad!" Gareth couldn't have been more wrong. It was bad. It was very bad.
"I'm like Bambi, dude. No way I'm embarrassing myself for the entire world to see." Eddie went around his room like a tornado, packing all his last-minute things for the trip out to California to record the music video for their newest song; a softer love ballad Jeff wrote for his fiancé. He held his phone between his shoulder and his ear, Gareth loudly sighing at the other end.
"Just meet with the choreographer and try. If it doesn't go well, we'll think of something else. But Red pulled some major strings and got the best of the best for this shoot and you know Jeff will lose his shit if it's not perfect."
"Fine. I'll meet with the choreographer, but start brainstorming some stuff I can do when it all goes to shit!"
Eddie zipped up his suitcase and hung up the phone, heading into the kitchen to tell Wayne goodbye and thank him for cat-sitting while he's gone.
"Eh don't worry about it. Little Jynx here is probably the close I'll get to a grandkid, plus she loves me something fierce." Jynx, Eddie's little black cat he found behind a dumpster at the restaurant he used to work at before Corroded Coffin made it big, sat purring on the counter while Wayne scratched behind her ear.
"Ouch, old man. Words hurt." Eddie faked offense, knowing Wayne doesn't actually mean it, and hugged his faux-father goodbye.
~~
"Calm down, you big baby. You'll be fine!" Robin was too busy fixing her eyeliner in Steve's bathroom mirror to notice he had thrown himself onto the bed, face buried into his pillow.
"I can't do it. He's too hot, Robs. I'm gonna make a fool out of myself!" Steve was spiraling. Like, badly.
He hadn't thought much about his new gig to choreograph a music video for some metal band when Max Mayfield had reached out. He didn't really listen to them much, but the name sounded familiar and he always loved doing ballroom. Plus, they were from the same small town - probably why the name sounded familiar in the first place.
However, that confidence and ease of being picked for a job like this vanished the moment he started working. He had pulled up the bands social media, trying to get a better idea of what he's working with. And oh my god. Holy shit. This guy was like... wow.
And that leads them back here. Robin walks over and plops herself down next to Steve. He rolls over and puts his head in her lap, staring up at her like a sad puppy dog. Robin wipes the hair away from his eyes and strokes his cheek.
"You'll be fine. Just treat it like a regular gig and no one will be the wiser. Then, once it's all said and done, you ask him to drinks and get married," Steve just glared back up at her, unamused. "Now come on, we gotta get going if we want to beat the traffic. I've still got to meet with the director and lighting crew to get costumes finished."
Steve grunted and closed his eyes, not ready to face his definitely humiliating fate. Robin poked his forehead and he relented. getting up and grabbing his jacket before heading to the door.

I can not stop thinking about Eddie Munson and Will Byers getting to know each other and initially Will is intimidated by him and honestly doesn’t WANT to like him- this is the guy whose party Mike joined, Mike who was so worried about party loyalty, and who didn’t even TELL him he joined another party right after he moved and so did Dustin and Lucas, when just last year none of them wanted anything to DO with D&D (or Will)- but the second time they meet or so, Eddie finds Will alone on a porch or something and they chat and Eddie lets Will talk about previous campaigns he’s run and when he talks about the ideas he had for that last campaign- the one where he wore those stupid wizard robes and he Lucas and Mike never finished- Eddie LIGHTS. UP. He thinks the ideas are genius, he asks questions, he even says he thinks the wizard costume idea is cool- although Will knows if he saw it in real life, no he wouldn’t- and Eddie invited him to talk about D&D, DM to DM.
And Will goes home with Eddie and Max after school one day- Max flipping them off playfully as she hops out of Eddie’s van and runs across the road to her house. And Eddie pulls out maps and books and when Will breaks out his binder full of sketches and notes Eddie LOSES. HIS. SHIT. Eddie has always sucked at drawing, music and story telling was his thing, and he is in awe of Will’s talent!! There’s a few sketches at the back, one each of previous characters the OG party had played. And Will takes out the one of Mike’s character and as he’s explaining Mike’s role in the campaign, Eddie GETS IT.. his “oh” moment.
And he realizes it wasn’t just D&D that made him wanna be nice and buddy buddy with this kid- he didn’t have to make all this effort, he could have let Wheeler’s friend just be and stay quiet on the sidelines like he seemed prone to do. But Eddie felt bad for the kid and wanted to reach out a hand and now he thinks he must have seen something of himself in Will Byers and it’s crystal clear now. Eddie’s loud, faux confidence with his jewelry and his hair and Will’s insecure, stooping frame look so different on the outside but they’re two sides of the same coin.
Artists, passionate creatives who throw themselves into their work to escape crushing reality, escape feeling different and like they’re on the outside looking in their whole life. Like they don’t deserve the one thing everyone takes so much for granted. They just dealt with it differently- Eddie leaning into the weird and using it as a shield and a wall of safety and Will, trying so hard to blend in until he just disappears from sight. And Eddie doesn’t know if he can do anything for this kid, if he can really make the fear- or the insecurity or the feeling of balancing on a tightrope that any of your closest friends might cut at any moment- any better for Will. But he knows he’s in it for good now. Him and his dumb, bleeding heart that bleeds the same red as Will Byers’.
And Will’s sitting on that couch talking strategy for hours, until Max comes over waving ten bucks around saying her moms at work and left money for pizza and Eddie’s rifling through a couple VHS tapes from Family Video and Will chips in for a two liter of Pepsi and they’re all sitting around Eddie’s trailer watching Labrynth and Will feels so comfortable and so safe, something he never thought he could feel in Hawkins, and he has no idea about all the good things to come, and the relief, and the community, and the tears. But he will.
