Steve knows Eddie struggles to concentrate - sees the way he gets distracted by stuff so, so easily; sees how it helps him to have something to mess with. One day Eddie loans his rings to Mike to try out (even though they are so big & ridiculous on the teen) and Steve can see how much he's struggling to keep up with the conversations going on around them. His fingers are twitching, he keeps clenching and unclenching his fists, and pulling at the hem of his shirt, frustrated.

Steve doesn't even think about it, just shifts to sit next to Eddie and offers out his hand. Eddie doesn't hesitate. He immediately starts playing with Steve's fingers, tracing the freckles on the backs of his hands, tapping across his knuckles, soothing his thumb across center of his palm.

It calms Eddie down, but Steve soon discovers that it calms him down, too. From that day on, whether Eddie has his rings on or not, Steve always holds his hand out, and Eddie always takes it.

Why can’t people be excited for Rice captaining England without saying he should be Arsenal’s captain. Literally fuck off, Martin is our captain and he’s a fucking amazing captain.

can i ask you to ramble about the artful dodger please?? your gifset is sooo pretty so im curious what its about!

Oh my God, have you come to the right place. There is nothing I would love to do more rn. Okay, so-

The Artful Dodger is basically (pretentious film & tv people are gonna absolutely despise this description) a post-canon/slightly canon divergent fanfiction set in the world of Dickens' Oliver Twist, following Jack Dawkins (The Artful Dodger) 15 years after the events of Oliver Twist.

So, quick recap of Oliver Twist (spoilers, obviously) for anyone who isn't familiar with that story- Oliver is this little orphan kid in England in the 18(30/40s?) << I don't believe the exact date is stated, but it was seemingly contemporary to when Dickens wrote it, which was 1837-1839. Oliver runs away from an orphanage to London and ends up meeting Jack (The Artful Dodger, AKA "Dodger" or "Dodge"), a street kid in London who takes him in. Jack is known as The Artful Dodger because he is particularly talented at pickpocketing/thieving, which is what he and the other kids he lives with do to survive. They are all "looked after" by a character called Fagin, who is basically using this child gang to support himself and his greed (listen, we can talk about Fagin's character in the show vs the books at some point if you want, but I want to keep this section brief), and Jack is the favorite because he is the best. Anyway, stuff happens, Oliver ends up having a long lost inheritance and gets to live a life of wealth, Jack is caught pickpocketing and sent to Australia (at that time a penal colony), Fagin is arrested and hanged.

*This post is relatively spoiler free for the show, but not 100%, since it's impossible to talk about without discussing character's actions, personalities, relationships, etc. However I'm doing my best to avoid any major spoiler plot points.

This show, The Artful Dodger (Hulu/Disney+) picks up 15 years later, with a few small alterations to the Oliver Twist ending. In the canon of this show, Jack was arrested for pickpocketing, but escaped prison, joined the navy, and was taught to be a surgeon. After his time in the navy, he now lives in Australia and is a doctor in a town called Port Victory, but seeing as he is also an escaped convict, he would be hanged if his past were discovered. Fagin (who dies in the original version of Oliver Twist) was spared by Oliver, and has now been sent to Port Victory as a convict. Obviously this will be a problem for Jack, who is hiding his past.

SO, with that out of the way, the premise of the show is basically this-

Jack is now a surgeon trying to live a lawful life, which is disrupted when Fagin arrives in Port Victory and threatens to expose his past and attempts to draw him back into a life of crime. Simultaneously, Jack meets Belle (totally OC for this show), the governor's daughter, who wants to be a surgeon and is willing to go to extreme lengths to get there. Unsurprisingly, Jack and Belle (who are both pretty stubborn and sassy personalities) clash in many ways, but also share common passion & interests, and thus the stage is set for the show.

So you've got two key dynamics to the show- Jack & Fagin, who have a long history (Fagin often tries to claim to be a father figure in Jack's life, which Jack rejects, as Fagin abandoned Jack when he was arrested in order to save himself) and different priorities/agendas, and Jack & Belle, who have just met, and are still trying to figure each other out. They are of very different pasts, class, mindsets/life philosophies, and this dynamic provides a lot of tension/humor/emotion (if your ask is talking about the gifset that I think, then you already know a bit about where this leads).

The show has elements of comedy, adventure, crime, romance, medical drama, etc. There are additional side plots/characters, but Belle, Jack, and Fagin are at the center of it. It's a lot of fun and only 8 eps, so I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested! TW: blood/surgery shown on screen quite often.

Anyway, on a personal note, this show feels like it was made for me. I had this absolute obsession with The Artful Dodger character as a child; he's one of the first characters I was ever super emotionally attached to, and led to me wanting to write. For this reason, I paid to have an Artful Dodger tattoo designed while I was in college (though I have not gotten it yet, as it's part of a bigger piece that I'm still mentally workshopping) like as a reminder of why I love telling stories. So I was incredibly nervous for this show, since it was touching a character who has been fundamental to my own creative passions, so I am happy to report that it exceeded my expectations. It probably helps that I've been part of the fanfic community for a long time, so seeing "alternate" versions of characters I'm familiar with doesn't faze me too much, and I think all the actors did a great job with their performances/characters.

So if you're still here at the end of my ramblings and you think that the show sounds like a fun time, definitely check it out! I'd be willing to do a more spoilery version of one of these at some point, but I didn't want to get into heavy spoilers in a introductory post.

Thanks for asking!! <33

I actually refuse to believe that Adam is dead there is no way that Lawrence just left him there after everything and there's too many inconsistencies surrounding his death (which leg is cuffed rate of decomposition etc) that just don't make sense.

Also he's my favorite I want his bisexual ass in another movie NOW

Was gonna wait for the ex to tell our son she'd gotten remarried but i was fucking sick of waiting for her to do it so I did it myself. He said "I know, I heard grandma talk about it" like how fucked up is that. How fucking messed up is it that he only learned about it bc he overheard a conversation.

He then said "when are they getting unmarried?" which admittedly almost made me burst out laughing lmao

cw: pet loss, pet death

My parents contacted me this morning to let me know that they would be putting Boots, their 18-year old cat, to sleep this week, and if I wanted to say bye I should come down sooner rather than later.

He’s been having a lot of health problems and it’s definitely the compassionate thing to do, but we got him when I was 13 - I was the one who begged them to get a cat (which led to his adoption), and for the first nine years of his life he was my cat - the only reason I didn’t take him with me when I moved out was because my parents told me “you can pry him from our cold dead hands” - they treat the lil’ guy (literally little - he’s a rescue who was definitely the runt of the litter) like royalty.

He’s had such a good life and I knew this was coming sooner or later, but I’m just sad about it.

My parents are also moving out of the house I grew up in at the end of October (found that out last week, along with the news my dad is retiring) and idk, it’s just a lot.
