Room/character closeup #2 (going in order from most to least popular based on the poll)
~Eddie & Steve's room~
Edit bc I accidentally posted this before I meant to: spoilers ahead for my full house au, as can be expected
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Did you notice the pattern on the rug bc it's important to me that you notice the pattern on the rug I spent a good bit of time searching for this one specific rug guys I'm serious about this. Is it incredibly dark humor? Yes. But it is humor nonetheless
Anyway
One of my first priorities/things I took into consideration when working on this room was that I didn't want it to be too bright or have any sort of potentially eyestrain-y patterns. Steve has suffered repeated head trauma and I wanted his room to be a safe space where he doesn't have to worry about triggering a migraine or fucking with his vision or getting dizzy just from his surroundings. Hence why they have a darker, more subdued palette than most of the other rooms (which I guess you don't know yet since this is only the second one I've shown you but just trust me on this)
Beyond that, I admittedly had a pretty difficult time trying to figure out what I could do that I felt like both Steve and Eddie would vibe with decor-wise while still being a cohesive theme
Didn't want it to lean too far either way into metalhead freak or preppy golden boy territory, and besides I do think Steve's whole aesthetic isn't entirely his own and is at least partly influenced by the expectations placed on him, so I tried to go for a fairly neutral sort of vibe here
For some reason I settled on some blue jean lookin ass wallpaper, a rug patterned with the our-dimension-version of the critters that very nearly took their lives, and a few choice items to put on the walls
First off, the ship painting
This was sort of an unexpected last minute addition, partially bc I thought it looked nice with the rest of the room and partially as a character reflection
I wholeheartedly believe that Eddie Munson would fucking love anything pirate related, he probably was a pirate for Halloween at least once growing up, and he just thinks sailing ships are super cool. Plus the painting just felt like it would appeal to a fantasy nerd lol (it reminded me of the chronicles of Narnia actually but that's not really important)
And as for Steve, at least in this au but I know I'm not the only one who thinks so, he really likes water. Being in it, on it, around it- he likes swimming (refer back to his noted complicated feelings about the pool from my basement post), he likes the beach, he likes the ocean, and he likes sailing. He hasn't been many times but I'd totally buy the Harringtons having been on a yacht or some shit at one point or another. This character note may or may not be related to both his job at scoops ahoy* and him being on the swim team in high school, which is one of those things that at this point I honestly don't know if it was at all canon or if it's just one of those headcanons that become so popular in fandom that it feels that way, and at this point I can't be bothered to fact check it
*I think either he had a prior interest in sailing-related stuff and that was part of what initially drew him to that job specifically, or that working there sparked an interest which only grew with time, like maybe some of the silly slogans and terms used in ice cream flavors and maybe even the uniform stirred his curiosity/memories of going out on the water with his folks during the summers before they decided he was old enough to be left home alone for weeks at a time, and he started looking into actual sailing and found out he really liked it. (He can't stand the uniforms now though bc they trigger traumatic flashbacks, for both him and Robin)
Next, the bass/electric guitar on the wall, which I feel is pretty self explanatory honestly. It's Eddie's (although he does offer to teach Steve how to play- haven't decided yet whether Steve takes him up on that)
And then there's the horses (photo? painting?)
This is where the whole "horse girl eddie munson" thing came from; the whole idea was initially born of me trying to decide what I could put on their wall, liking this poster and asking myself if Steve and Eddie struck me as people who were into horses. As it turns out the answer was "hell yeah" and it spiraled into an entire fic idea of its own, which can be found here. As for this au, the background of them both having a "horse girl" phase/being into the idea of cowboys is still a thing, but obviously it doesn't progress the same way as that did (steddie cowboys my beloved but these particular multiverse variants are stuck playing house with their traumatized found family and slowly realizing that they actually enjoy co-parenting >:3 and this way everyone gets to stay together)
Also, speaking of the steddie cowboys thing this inspired, Eddie is trans in the full house au but Steve is a cis man (unlike in the other au). However Steve does have some gender moments here and there, like the kids "jokingly" calling him mom and him lowkey vibing with it (oh no I'm already doubting my ability to stick to the Steve being cis plan- bigender Steve agenda where did you come from??)
But yeah basically both of them are secretly horse nerds lol and that's something they discover while they're arguing over how to decorate (aka when they agree on this poster) and end up bonding over
And now for a note about their placement in the house (specifically who they share a floor with)
I've already explained that/why I wanted them on the same floor as Dustin Lucas & Erica, although I don't think I mentioned that Lucas and Steve are really close in this au* and it goes without saying that Dustin is super close with both of them
*it just feels right to me; also Steve was the only one of his friends to come watch his basketball game and Steve did chew Eddie out about that whole situation at some point but by now everyone is pretty much on good terms
Sometimes when any of the kids- but especially any of those three- have bad nightmares or can't sleep, they bunker down in Eddie & Steve's room,* the door of which is always open (metaphorically that is, but once they start dating... well let's just say the kids better knock or they're going to have yet another reason to be scarred for life lmao)
*some may think they're too old for stuff like this but I say- fuck that. A major theme of this au is acknowledgement of how these guys have had a large portion of their childhood stolen from them and the people around them are working to help them get it back, to let them just be kids and to make them feel safer than they have in a long time, so they're allowed to be "childish" and that's going to play a part in many of the events and details of this au. The same goes for the older guys too btw; like with this example specifically if Robin or Steve is the one waking up from a nightmare they find the other and both crash on the couch together for the night. You're never too old to seek comfort from your loved ones

The Landgraabs
Meanwhile, at home, Charlotte is preparing hard for her audition. She knows how difficult it’s gonna be considering the sitcom’s reputation and even though her Landgraab identity gets her past most auditions, this one will not happen in a similar way. Ever since Johnny Zest and Vasyl Abrams, the most influential couple in the sitcom industry, took over the writing and direction for the show, its quality has not been compromised in the slightest. And it sure will not do so to impress a Landgraab.
To be completely honest, comedy is not Charlotte’s thing. It does not come to her naturally. So she made sure to read the book ‘Getting the Jokes’ sent to her from the agency. And then she decided to watch a few episodes of the show to internalize the overall vibe. Not that she hasn’t watched them before, but you know…
Past noon, when Charlotte still didn’t see Malcolm coming over for lunch, she decided to sign up for a comedy lecture taking place in Oasis Springs auditorium. Of course, she got herself a seat in the premium panel. Sitting with the masses is not safe for her anymore now that everybody in town knows who she is.

Headcanon: Rhyme and Reason being Amazing Rope Guy's only friends
I sort of had this idea of Amazing Rope Guy being the first other villain that Rhyme and Reason meet in Fair City and they end up befriending him and become the only villains who don't ignore him and pretend he doesn't exist, simply because since they're from out of town, they don't realise that other people see him as a joke.
If you rewatch the episode, Amazing Rope Guy's civilian identity is actually in the crowd that witnessed Rhyme's brutal beat down of Word Girl so he's the first villain in the city that's aware of their existence and he's f*cking TERRIFIED of them at first because he's had a first person view of what they're capable of.
Sometime between the timeskip of Rhyme and Reason getting arrested and Word Girl fighting the five headed robot piloted by Dr Two Brains, The Butcher, Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy, Granny May and Tobey, Amazing Rope Guy gets arrested off screen by the police for another failed rope crime and this time he's dreading going to prison because he knows that he's probably going to run into THEM.
Rhyme's go to prison surviving strategy is to fight the scariest guy in the prison yard to establish dominance so nobody will mess with her or Reason and she accidentally mistakes Amazing Rope Guy for that Scariest Guy in Prison because he's the only supervillain amongst the ordinary criminals (because all the actual villains haven't been caught…yet.)
So she sees him sitting alone in the yard and assumes it's because he's the only super villian and therefore the toughest, baddest guy there so that's why no one is going near him because of how scary he is. So she marches right over and she picks him up over her head in sign of dominance and he just starts SCREAMING-
Rhyme's just standing there as she's holding ARG thinking "Huh, this is surprisingly easy. Normally the Scary Guys put up more of a fight than this". Of course, ARG's girly screaming draws a lot of attention and everyone stares at them like "look at what she's doing to What's His Name The Rope Dude! What the heck is wrong with her?! Why is she doing that?!" and stays the f*ck away from her because that super strength freaks them out even though she's technically not even hurting him. So she successfully manages to intimidate everybody, but not for the reason she thinks it's because. It's a case of getting the right answer with the wrong formula.
Reason looks across the yard to see Rhyme holding another man over her head and is like "God damn it, not again-" so he runs over and manages to convince Rhyme to let go of him.
ARG is disgruntled at first after she puts him down and explains why she almost suplexed his wimpy ass but then he realizes that she thinks/thought he was a tough villian, so he tries to pretend that he IS a tough and scary villain because she doesn't know he's the wimpy guy who always gets captured.
Unfortunately it crumbles pretty quickly (atleast for Reason, based on like, context clues and ARG not doing a great job at convincing them. Rhyme might believe it or atleast not correct him) but they also don't know his exact reputation so it'd probably just be like "Oh he's not that fierce a villain'" but they don't know that he's basically the black sheep of Fair City's villains.
So then Rhyme deduces that he's not the local "Scariest Guy in Prison" he's the local "Guy Who Knows Everything About Everybody". Amazing Rope Guy is like "what" so Rhyme explains (in rhymes of course) that if he always gets captured and put in jail, then that means he spends the most time jail so he's always already there when the other villains get brought in so technically it means he'd be familiar with every villain in the city because he's always there to see them get brought in.
Amazing Rope Guy tries to process this logic and be sees Rhyme smiling at him eagerly and he's kind of touched that she thinks he's some sort of important guy so he tries to help them as best as he can by answering all their questions about the city, about other villains, about Word Girl etc and they share stories about their misadventures in the other 28 cities they've been through… Most of which horrify ARG because some of those other cities run under gritty adult superhero cartoon logic so there's a lot of near death experiences from violent superheroes and villains wanting to kill off any low ranking villains/potential competition that entered their territory. Amazing Rope Guy is THANKFUL that all their Villains Society do is ignore him.
Anyway, when Rhyme and Reason inevitably land in jail again, they automatically go to chat with Amazing Rope Guy because, hey, they like him. He's nice enough. When the villains stop being afraid of Rhyme enough to invite them to Villain Meetings, Rhyme always tries to get Amazing Rope Guy included in all the evil recreational activities.
Reason relates to him as another normal guy who has to get by in the villain game without any powers and he tries offering him tips about what strategies work best for him, like, suggesting he starts using gadgets or something with a rope theme like a grappling hook or a tripwire. Reason is trying to convince Leslie and Big Left Hand Guy to let him into their "Tired Powerless Villains with Hyper Partners" Book Club despite him being a solo villain. He argues that Amazing Rope Guy once had The Whammer as a sidekick so teeeeechnically he fits the entry requirements.
Rhyme just likes hanging around with him in their civilian clothes and they go to places like the arcade and the ice cream store purely because Rhyme enjoys his company. Amazing Rope Guy feels kind of overwhelmed by her hyperness and how casual she is about causing mass destruction and their dynamic kinda becomes like Plasma Rope, but platonic (aka wimpy pathetic loser guy and the ungodly powerful woman who could completely obliterate his frail mortal body in nanoseconds)
He trusts her enough to let her visit his house and look at his pet snake William Snakespeare. Becky has absolutely no idea why Rhyme has started hanging out with her neighbour Jerry and she almost had a heart attack when she spotted Rhyme in her neighbourhood for the first time.
Amazing Rope Guy also made her a diorama of some penguins in the Antarctic for her birthday and Rhyme was so happy that she almost snapped him in two from hugging him too hard.
Amazing Rope Guy is just happy that there finally are some villains who will talk to him.

Seein' too many Twitter refugees asking if they'll get in trouble for saying "kill yourself" to people and while no, you're not gonna get nuked from orbit, that is maybe something you just shouldn't be doing in general perhaps?? Maybe telling people to kill themselves is bad actually?? Some of y'all are wild, why is the first thing you can think to ask on a new platform if you can send one of the worst kinds of harassment to people?? Grow tf up and learn how to use the block button. It'll do wonders for your mood, trust me.

You know that Chris Fleming line that goes "Call yourself a community organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates"?
I honestly think every leftist who talks about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture needs to spend a year trying to organize their workplace. Anyone who sincerely talks about building a movement so vast and all-encompassing that it overwhelms all existing power structures needs the dose of humility that comes with realizing they can't even build a movement to get people paid better at a badly run AMC Theaters where everyone already hates the manager.

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.
if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.
but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?
what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.
and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.
you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.
so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.
it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.
sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.
oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

The Landgraabs
Charlotte returned home from the audition at 4…with bad news. She did not get the part. She tried so hard and was so confident! She could not believe they rejected CHARLOTTE LANDGRAAB!!! Were they out of their minds?
Charlotte was quick to call Malcolm and complain about it. He would take care of the situation and the casting director would come begging Charlotte to play the role.
“Hey babe, how was your audition?” “Malcolm!! Can you believe it? They did not give me the part!!” “Really? Umm.. don't worry, babe. Which show is this, again? Give me the name of the director and I'll take care of it.”
The conversation was going exactly the way Charlotte had hoped. But as soon as Malcolm heard the name Vasyl Abrams, he went silent.
“Hello? Malcolm? Are you there? Will you talk to the Mr. Abrams about it now? I am sure the casting team made some mistake or something!” “Umm… Charlie, why don’t you prepare for upcoming auditions? I don’t think this sitcom would be a good fit for you. You are more of a gorgeous model than a sappy sitcom actress anyway.” “But, this is The Urbz…” “Hey, babe. I gotta go. Have a meeting in a few. See you at home.”
The line cuts off leaving Charlotte both surprised and heart-broken. Malcolm never cuts her off like this! What's up with the world today?
To mend that broken heart, she decides to go to the local nightclub. It was a little early for that scene, but she had nothing else to do.

kids who werent raised christian being like "lol baptising children is whack if they tried to do that to me i would start doing things to make it look like i was possessed" no you would not. you would bask in the pride and approval coming from the adults around you and you would quietly wait your turn because you were told from birth that sinning sends you to hell and baptism is The Promise that youre dedicating your life to jesus that youve had hyped up for years and watched other people be fawned over as they cry happy tears about it and you do NOT want to fuck up your One Big True Promise To Love Jesus Forever So You Don't Get Tortured For Eternity when you are literally 8 years old. im begging yall to remember its a thousand times easier to see the church's bullshit for what it is when you're not actively in the church. eight year old you is not thinking about trying to fight back against an oppressive religious group indoctrinating children because You Are The Children Being Indoctrinated. stop acting like you would've magically known better if it were you.
