omg it's been said before but your autistic Steve series is so good so life affirming so precious to me..... and so I would like to share my own thoughts on the matter...... Steve who did sports bc he had so much excess energy!! and now he gets the zoomies all the time and needs NEEDS to get outside and run around when the weather is nice...... Steve who thinks he's unforgivably strange and unlovable without his perfectly crafted mask and Robin who says she likes him better without it!!!!.... Steve hyperfixations (feat Steve who reads and frequents the library my beloved, he's so casually curious it just makes sense with his characterization I think)...... Steve full body stimming with Eddie or Robin and feeling amazing!!!!!...... Steve who has set up his space Exactly The Way He Likes It.....
love and light to you ♥️💋🥞🏄🏻
lovely 2jug2head!!! hello!!! ur so sweet!!!
but autistic steve!!! my love!! my guy!!! yesssss!!!! these are all so good! so sweet and lovely and perfect!!! ty for sending me this!!!
(sorry this reply took a little to get too, i've been on my freak shit but finally got few ideas down for u <3)
i think steve would take time learning what stimming and being overstimulated and understimulated means. i think after the upside-down especially, but a lot before that too, he got too used to detaching, kind of separating from his body in order to survive. so now, sometimes, he gets these itches and urges and weird feelings and he just doesn’t know what to do about it. [and i think sport definitely helped him in the past, but i dunno if he would make that connection right away.]
but, he watches robin flap her arms with her sweater sleeves covering her hands. and watches eddie get fucking breathless head banging to a song. he sees robin skip to his car at the end of a shift, looking up at the sky and letting out a 'AHH!' with so so much feeling, cheeks flushed and eyes bright that the day is done, getting in and fiddling with the radio like it’s no big deal. he watches eddie jiggle his leg and bite his rings and stand up and pace when he's talking about something he loves. and steve tries them.
he tries all of them.
he fists his hands and shakes them until something dislodges in his chest, till he can finally take a full breath. he sings loudly along to bruce springsteen and wham in his car in the mornings, sometimes not ever really singing, just making noise. he jumps around his room with robin when she plays blondie, he asks eddie to show him how to head bang, tries it and laughs and kisses him breathless when the song ends. he gives robin his keys and takes off running in a lap around the building after work, sometimes near sprinting, sometimes circling five, six times, going till he's panting and the faces of all the people he had to see that day are washed away, until he can't feel the plastic on his fingers, can't smell the bleach or the too much cologne some guy used. until he's reset, until he's him again, not theirs, not who anyone wants him to be. until he feels good again, lets himself feel good.
sometimes, now, he jiggles his leg the same way eddie does, at the same time, until robin says she has to move 'feel fuckin' seasick over here with you two goblins.' and eddie just laughs. and steve can curl up into his side, if he wants, can pick up eddies hand and bite his rings if he feels like it, eddie would let him, maybe call him cute, wouldn't judge him. neither of them would, if he did that, if he did more. they would never, and its so nice.
<3
["Steve who thinks he's unforgivably strange and unlovable without his perfectly crafted mask" ;-; that's my fcuking GUY. he would and its so :(( !!!! ]
but yeah, robin would hate that fake plastic smile he puts on to mask sometimes. and she'd tell him, with so much love. 'stop it. show me you.' because she just wants to be with steve.
but she’s so wonderful, he just, she gets it. sometimes things that he didn’t even know were bothering him will build and he’ll snap and rant and moan to finally get it all out. lungs heaving as he empties everything out before her. but she’ll just look at it, and seem to place it all in a way that makes sense, a way that’s small and fits in his pocket. she’ll say ‘woah yeah, that seems like a lot / would be stressful / i’m not surprised you're overwhelmed’ and it’s just. it’s so simple. he’s seen, he’s listened too and validated. it still makes him pause, in stunned silence, and it’s like there’s a plaster placed on his heart with every instance that it happens. sometimes it seems to strike such a chord it's like it's hitting a deep wound that he buried inside, a scab finally healing and falling away. sometimes it makes him sob in her arms, overwhelmed and amazed and so so moved by this person he's met, this wonderful angelic creature that he gets to call his.
the next time he has his super masked, customer service face on when its just the two of them, she threatens to bite him. and steve smiles for real, laughs, feels another plaster sticking over the others.
<3
and steve library frequenter yes yes!! i agree that he is curious and practical and i think a hands on kind of guy! so i think he goes to the library and gets books about cars. i think he likes learning about how to fix his, trying to understand what could go wrong, how it happens, what you do in different scenarios. i think that's something him and eddie and wayne bond over, helping to fix their cars. steve and eddie even work together to do up wayne's van a little, getting it a new bumper and a couple parts scavenged at the junkyard. it's fun for him to work out what's missing, what’s changed, how and why and then putting it into practice. taking something apart and putting it back together. makes him feel proud of himself, something he really doesn't feel often. makes his brain zone in and flow and focus for a couple hours and it just feels so nice, its a happy time for him.
also, speaking of special interests - ✨sport stats✨. steve can name the players of all the basketball teams currently playing professionally, likes watching the tactics shows that come on before and after the games. likes talking at eddie and explaining why its actually really cool that they swapped out that player to give this new guy a chance, he's big news, a young up and comer and has a really interesting play style, its gonna work well with how their current manger organises the court. and eddie just smiles at him, squeezing steves hand in his lap and trying to understand what he sees on screen, follow along (he struggles to take in all the information, it's just not his thing. but it makes him so happy when he watches steve watch.) and steves happy little keens when something interesting happens, mindlessly fiddling with eddie’s fingers and tapping his other hands fingers against his knee, 1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2. relaxed and focused and sometimes he rocks when it gets really tense and eddies heart bursts.
because it wasn't always like that, it was a struggle and a near pleading for eddie to just get steve to tell him what he likes, talk to him, get to know him. to just let eddie in. because eddie wanted to know everything and steve just didn't know how to deal with that. why would eddie care? no one ever listens to him. he's embarrassing and annoying and gets to loud and eddie doesn't like sports so why would steve tell him anything? it took soft words and gentle encouragement and reassurance again and again that he's listening, he wants to listen, wants to know. 'always, always wanna listen to what you have to say stevie.' so when steve comes over to the trailer after work, talking about the latest switch they announced in the paper, how last nights points shifted the league around and now he doesn't even know who's going to win, isn't that cool? eddie fucking beams because this is his boy. his bright, beautiful, exited baby and he’s talking to eddie, he's letting eddie see him.
<3
steve and his space though. thinking very much about that. he doesn’t have the strictest schedule, he’s learning that sometimes its okay to leave the sheets for another couple days, that the dust can settle for another week before he needs to wipe it away. but some things are just, they just have to be right. he needs to know where things are, needs the important stuff in the same place every day so he doesn't forget. needs his products in the bathroom out and in order so he can keep track of when something needs replacing, so he's not left without something he needs. wants this one specific pillow at night, and one for between his knees and a duvet on year round, needs it to feel warm and safe and right in his bed.
and his clothes, its not even about the sensory stuff for him, like yeah most of his tops are soft, his jeans pretty worn in. he has some really old sweatshirts that are special, that come out on the worst days. but it's also about how clothes look, how they make him feel. he want his jeans to fit right, sit right on his shoes. wants his shirts to make his shoulders look nice, make him feel comfortable and confident and like a normal fucking person who can exist in the world. its another part of the mask, maybe. but it works and its his and most of the time he thinks he looks good. and that's okay. he's learning and its healthy and its practical and it helps.
but he also adores wearing eddies t-shirts. when he's at home all day or to sleep at night. especially if eddies not there, when steve misses him, when he wants him. steve wears eddies t-shirts to bed. they're all ones eddies left after staying, they're old and soft and the tags have been cut out and they smell like eddie. like his eddie. like he's there. steve loves it, wraps himself up in it, helps him feel soothed and taken care of even if he's alone, maybe its a little sad, makes him feel embarrassed, too much. but he's learning not to care.
sometimes eddie talks to him and touches him in a certain special way that makes steve feel so so foggy and taken care of and amazing. so, if eddie's not there but he craves that foggy feeling, steve wears eddies t-shirts and he speaks to himself like eddie would and he makes himself dinner and looks after himself and tucks himself into bed and rubs the fabric of the collar against his nose. and tries not to feel embarrassed if he needs more, if he has to suck on his fingers/thumb for a while, clutching the fabric in his hand. tries to let himself whimper or even cry a little if he needs, at how nice it feels, how gooey and needy he can allow himself to get. accept it as part of himself, that eddie likes it, still likes him, still loves him. just something he needs sometimes. and steve falls asleep, wearing eddies t-shirt.
<3
gonna tag a few people who might want to see, hope that's okay? wanna spread him around and show him off!! look at him!!! our best guy!!!

sry needed to talk to this about someone lmao but I’ve seen so many people on twitter say that george played the king like a fiddle when i feel like looking at it this way is way too easy. like yes ofc george manipulates james but i feel like to some degree james even knows that he isn’t dumb he kind of lets george rule. you can see a shift in their relationship when he feels like george is more sincere and i think in a lot of moments their love was real. he only freaks out when george goes against the one thing he hates which is war that is a line george should not have crossed. their relationship definitely wasn’t healthy (which relationship in the 1600s was tbh) but at least you could still see some of george‘s softer side shine through with james. george as a character isn’t one dimensional he is so many things at once until well the end when i don’t think he is even a person anymore.
firstly, anything ever said on twitter is a bad take. I have twitter blocked on my computer bc i get tempted to look and it only brings bad vibes.
and yes you're right. james comes across as a monarch who doesn't particularly have head (or the patience) for politics. He does kinda let george do a lot of that for him. Famously, James' only stance is that he's a staunch pacifist and when george crosses that line, and tries to lie about it, then that's when the cards fall. George doesn't even realise theres a line bc he's so lost in the power he's gained, and when James fights back you can SEE how devastated and completely caught of guard he is. He banks on james loving him unconditionally but that ultimately doesn't hold up.
The best example i think of their relationship dynamic is the woods scene in ep7. James is rotting inside under mary's watch, dying of illness. George makes the woods his bedroom because he knows james lives for being outdoors. Some might say this was solely to butter james up about the spain issue, BUT even if it was, george had to know james so intimately to understand what that gesture meant for him. That was PEAK romance. He literally brought james back to life because he was the only one who knew him enough to do so. And you can see in that ep that they really do love each other. Even if, like you say, its not that healthy bc power and status was more important back then. they laugh together, they enjoy each other's company, they'd, at that point, been together for YEARS.
George is such a wonderful character. His is so complex. He does love James genuinely. But he gets very comfortable in james' favour and crosses a line because he craves the power and status his position affords. By the end, he doesn't really have anything tethering him to the ground. Especially with James' death, which i think was probs pretty traumatic for him haha, and the fact he no longer is under mary's thumb. Historically speaking, we know that everyone fucking HATED george by the end, and thought he was incompetent. And you can see in how he acts with the guy who kills him (john felton) that he's completely lost touch with reality. And its SO upsetting to watch because he's a dead eyed double of the young 20 year old we meet in the beginning.
God i could write ESSAYS about this show and it's relationships.

I didn’t intend for this to be so long I apologize in advance😭
Have you or anyone mentioned this before?
What if when Elain and Lucien had their ambiguous meetup in WAR,.. what if Elain wanted to give Lucien a peck or a hug and be in the comfort of her stranger(!) mate and was drawn to him in a way she couldn’t fathom which is why she now keeps clear of him. It’s not hate, it could be confusion. People really exaggerate her being freaked out of the feeling of the bond. It is because SHE IS AWARE of it. We know this, Elain knows this, Lucien knows this, her sisters know this… there’s no need for readers to be all shocked pikachu face about Elain currently not wanting to be around Lucien. Nesta and Feyre or mostly anyone (especially someone like Elain who misses their old life) would’ve reacted similarly. If you’re only seeing the couple/pair and not the individual, isn’t it then harder to figure out what motivates that individual? Elain’s decision-making won’t have to do with someone else, that’s her own thing. What happens after a couple is formed is another thing (i.e. Feyre in TAR and MAF vs Feyre in WAR and SF where she makes plenty of decisions as a unit with Rhys aka when a couple gives into one another fully)
Yk, I can imagine it’s much scarier when you feel a pull to someone while knowing that somehow you both are connected biologically.. and they happen to be someone you just met. Feyre and Nesta were scared too when they found out they had mates! Heck they were a little intimidated when they first met the guys who were going to be their mates (duh they were among scary fae)
I think people tend to forget that Feyre and Nesta also took their time at different points of their own journey and in their relationships to figure out what kind of future they wanted. And they did this while away from their mates (i.e. Feyre accepted the bond before she gave Rhys her heart and body, so a more traditional romance approach, while she was alone at the cabin. And Nesta wanted to keep it strictly physical w/o the bond. Meaning keeping her heart/feelings out of it bc of her low self-worth. The aftermath of her fight w/ Cassian was spent with Emerie and Gwyn).
It’s actually perfect that Lucien is constantly away from Elain right now because otherwise it would all be much harder for her to process the situation she’s in. This exact courtesy given to Feyre and to Nesta by the author (all of this isn’t my thought I know this point has been made a lot!). Again, if we only think in terms of romance and not the individual then it’s going to be harder to understand why a character is making a certain choice
Idk how readers are interpreting these male characters but do they really think these males are they type to be like “we are now bound together, accept the bond or else; you must obey and come with me” I mean, SJM even found a way for Rhys to whisk away Feyre with her consent!
I think SJM likes showing different ways mates end up together and she’ll “select” a couple to demonstrate that. For example, Feysand= mates which one person isn’t aware of the bond because they grew up human, and it snapped for the fae without them revealing it to their mate and etc, etc. Elain and Lucien just happen to be the fated mates who had their bond snapped before they knew who the other was! Honestly SJM could’ve had any of her other couples go through with this. But also maybe there’s a specific reason- which she knows- for why she choose it for Elucien. Maybe it fits their characters best?
Authors are just puppet masters pulling at strings and coming up with possibilities y’all! There’s no need to act like these characters were done dirty because it was designed that way, pls for the love of the Mother. All that means is you have a problem with the story or writing and that’s not gonna change. So maybe it’s best for some people to look for other content?
Anyway- Elain is right now in the series taking the time to figure out what she wants (like her sisters did when they learned of their bonds!!) Maybe SJM could’ve elaborated with Feyre and Nesta and how they considered their options for the future? Lets be fr there’s a few details that SJM leaves out which tends to be important for the readers but not to her (maybe). But anyways the difference with Elain? She’s taking her time to decide and figure out the bond situation outside of her own book. As soon as Elain’s book is out why would she need to be away from Lucien any longer? Feyre had reason to be away from Rhys in MAF.- tamlin, her human life, etc. Nesta wanted to stay away from Cass at the beginning of SF because what even is a mate plus her self-worth issues. Do we wanna see this again with an Archeron in a whole book or rather it happening in the sidelines this time around? I mean with an Elain (Elucien) book they then have to be near each other at some point. NOW their story is beginning. I just expect it to have a happy ending:) <— Elain staying away from Lucien now but not later isn’t an original thought, I know this point has been made by many blogs!! Sooo I think this is what SJM is doing. Keeping them at a distance in the meantime. Because they won’t need it at some point.
It’s going to be different in Elain’s book because who wants a repeat of how Feyre and Nesta dealt with their bonds and their mates! We want some difference in the romance with each couple and how they handle big revelations! Authors love stepping out of their norm and showing variety, surely SJM will do that!
P.S this msg had a lot going on so if there’s anything you’d like clarification for pls feel free to say so :)
It's all good!
If there is one thing that SJM appears to have an issue with regarding fated pairs, it's the idea of instant love that often comes with fated mate tropes. She weaves into her narrative a desire to demonstrate why these pairs are perfect for each other and what her idea of a perfect match looks like.
As Elriel shippers and other non-shippers begin to realize, the bond itself serves as the primary conflict in Elain and Lucien’s story. It's something they both will tackle and eventually come to accept because this bond is now an intrinsic part of them. That's what I personally anticipate and look forward to in their story.
Upon rereading ACOMAF, I found my perspective shifted. Despite Feyre and Rhysand's bond snapping after Under the Mountain, Feyre still entertained thoughts of her upcoming wedding and pondered her future alongside Tamlin, all while feeling guilty and inexplicably drawn to Rhys. It wasn't until spending more time with Rhysand that Feyre began to recognize their shared desire to protect loved ones. This shift in perspective was crucial for Feyre, who grappled with her past actions, including the deaths of innocent faeries, and came to the realization that Rhysand had supported her far more than Tamlin had during her trials.
Rhysand's actions spoke volumes about his commitment to Feyre, even when she was unaware of his feelings. Conversely, it's somewhat frustrating when critics question why Lucien didn't do more for Feyre, especially when ACOMAF emphasizes the unique and profound nature of the mating bond. Lucien's efforts to support Feyre are acknowledged, but it's clear that Rhysand played a significant role in keeping her grounded. Similarly, Lucien's understanding of Elain's needs and his efforts to help her, such as demanding she be exposed to sunlight in ACOWAR, further illustrate the difference of their connection.
While there are limitations to the bond, it's unfair to hold Lucien to the same standard as Rhysand. Lucien and Feyre share a close bond, but they are not mates. Their relationship is distinct from Feyre's bond with Rhysand, which offers a unique level of support and understanding.
Similarly, Lucien demonstrated his understanding of Elain's needs in ACOWAR by demanding she be brought outside to the sun, just as Rhysand knew the music and images of the Night Court would help Feyre.
The passage of time is felt more keenly in Elucien's story compared to Feysand's and Nessian's. Feyre met Rhysand in Calanmai, saw him only once after a month, and then spent much of her time with Rhys Under the Mountain in a drugged state before returning home. It was only after two months that Rhys called in the bargain after Feyre reached out for help.
Nessian isn't exempt from this, either. There were four months between the war and Nesta and Cassian's confrontation, followed by another nine months before Cassian was sent to Nesta's apartment under orders for an intervention.
The difference lies in our experience of Elucien's time apart from each other. They are still included in other's stories, whereas we receive only a brief mention of the time lapse before the start of Feysand's and Nessian's story.
I often wonder if Nesta's and Elain's story drew inspiration from ACOMAF as some sort of "what if" scenario. For instance, what if Rhysand had decided to rescue Feyre himself, considering he kept hearing her vomiting, and that's what ACOSF explores? Or what if Rhysand hadn't winnowed away after their bond snapped after Under the Mountain, but instead blurted out to Feyre, rather than Mor, that she was his mate? Then Feyre went back to the Spring Court knowing she was Rhysand's mate. That is the essence of Elucien's story.
SJM does love to show the variations of the bond snapping. For instance, Kallias and Vivianne's bond snapped after they were married, Miryam was a slave present to Drakon, and Drakon set her free. Miryam had a relationship with Jurian, and while Jurian was seducing Clythia, that's when Miryam's and Drakon's bond snapped. We don't know when Tamlin's parents' bond snapped, but we do know that Rhysand's parents' bond snapped the first time they met, and Rhysand's father did not give his mother the freedom to decide what to do, even after he had saved her.
Elain is the only one among the sisters who knew about the bond firsthand. She knows that whatever she is feeling towards Lucien is a result of that bond. It's interesting to note that both Elain and Lucien, who spent most of their lives suppressing their needs and settling in their environments, have similar experiences. Lucien was severely punished for making waves, whereas Elain grew up with two sisters with big personalities who had no issues rocking the boat. Consequently, Elain does what she can to avoid being a problem. This is where the conflict of the bond comes in - Elain was engaged to someone she loved despite the short amount of time to be told “well, actually, your soulmate is this person. That person who told you that they love you actually hates you because of what you are now.”
This is also the first scenario where Elain actually gets to tell someone what to do. She isn't trying to argue against or support someone. For the first time, Lucien is giving her autonomy for the decision and the space to make it.
I personally believe that SJM was so confident in her match between Elain and Lucien that she mated them almost instantly, pulling back any further conversation beyond their initial discussion. In ACOSF, Cassian and Nesta primarily think of them as a package deal because whenever Elain does something, there's usually a comment about where Lucien is or isn't. It's also extremely telling that their only interaction in the book is with Lucien still looking at her with longing, while Elain acts the opposite towards the only person she cannot hide her real emotions from.
If Elain wouldn't reject the bond in someone else's book, including the novella that includes multiple people, then we should also be asking why Elain would act a certain way towards Lucien, except for the one thing that will absolutely cement that we know she doesn't like him.
It's been two years since it was revealed that Elain and Lucien are mates. The reason why she resisted this long deserves more than a hundred pages (roughly part one) of her book.

Okay so I unknowingly got involved in some Sunny discourse earlier and um... did not mean to. Sorry.
My autistic ass saw 'Dennis hates Mac' and got frustrated BC on my tumblr feed that seems like all I see anymore and I'm tired of sifting through negative posts. It's also important to mention that I was coming at things from the 'I've been exposed to way too much r/iasip' mindset, where the discourse is entirely discouraged because people are so adamant that Dennis only hates Mac (as in, he despises him and just wants him to leave him alone always).
Anyway, given this, I feel the need to clarify the way I see their relationship, and that I definitely don't think there's no resentment on Dennis' end. Of course Mac pisses him off, because Dennis doesn't understand where all this devotion is coming from (imo). His self-esteem is so cripplingly non-existent, despite the exterior he shows, that it does genuinely baffle him that somebody could see so much worth in him.
Mac is loyal to a fault. He pursues Dennis even when the latter gives him no regard at all, and is constantly seeking his approval, which inevitably leads to more disapproval on Dennis' end.
Does this disapproval ultimately= hate? I don't know. I'm not in RCG's heads.
What I do know, though, is that sunnyblr is a mess of negativity and all I want to do is have that... not be so? Idk.
I want there to be an appreciation for the richness of this show, and when I see comments like 'Dennis hates Mac' without any context, yeah, I get fired up, because wayyyy too much of r/iasip (for example) is people shutting down Macdennis because of that exact reason and ignoring how complex their relationship really is.
There's too much discourse and I really didn't intend to make more, especially not about shipping because (and I genuinely believe this):
SHIP WHO YOU WANT!!!
idc if you ship charden or charmac or idk is there anything going on w frank ??? (this is making me realise that Frank fans are living the dream, there is absolutely no discourse about his ships lmaooo)
We all love the show, and this page is dedicated to that, so if I ever sound pissed about certain shippers I am 100% fucking around, I love all you guys
... except you Dee/Dennis and Dennis/Abigail freaks... u guys can stay away please and thank u

Around
Tumblr media
Summary: Eddie was always around her, even though he hated the Harringtons. She was the princess of Hawkins High and he had to watch her rule the school with her brother but be vulnerable when no one was around.
Warning: Mentions of death, mentions of abusive parents. Abusive boyfriend Billy (just a little). Swearing, and the Harrington parents not being there. If there's anything else let me know.
Pairing: Eddie Munson x Fem!Harrington Twin Sister
Words: 5407 upsi got a little carried away, hopes someone reads it lol
A/N: I don't know where the idea came up but here it is, a fic where Eddie didn't die bc HE DESERVED BETTER! Hope you like it, I loved to hear some feed back so I'm here if you have something to say :)
Eddie watches her behind his locker, she’s wearing a horrendous and pretentious outfit; khaki shorts with a yellow blouse and a navy blue sweater. She’s wearing a brown belt to accentuate her waist and her wild hair is at the same time ideally brushed. Natural make-up, which he’s sure is not natural at all, just subtle pink gloss stands out. He passes by her side and notices the contrast between her perfectly white snickers and his once-white snickers. 
She’s surrounded by a bunch of girls all kissing her feet, all of them reminded her that her clothes are top-notch, her hair is beautiful, she’s super smart and her brother is oh so handsome. Eddie can’t stand the Harringtons. They’re everything that is wrong with the world, people like them are the reason injustice exists. And they’re twins, beautiful twins, with rich parents which only proves his theory. 
At the end of the hall, her brother calls for her. She leaves her friends and runs towards Steve who’s waiting for her with Nancy Wheeler, his girlfriend. As she runs, accidentally bumps into him, which causes him to throw his D&D notebook. Not only does she scoffed at him but rolls her eyes with an apology full of hypocrisy.
“You are such a nerd” even though she’s doing it only for decency and the good manners daddy and mommy bought her, he lets her pick up his notebook, and she took a quick glance at it.
“I’m not the one with straights A’s princess” 
She stands up and turns to go on her way, her brother was watching the whole scene and is mortified that his sister, the princess of Hawkings High, spend more than ten seconds speaking to a freak. 
"Go back to hell freak" Steves yells. 
"Fuck you Harrington" usually Steve and his assholes friends don’t pay attention to Eddie, for some reason, they're always behind Jonathan Byers, he's not glad for the guy but gotta be thankful it's not him. He has bad days like this and to deal with a bunch of bullies… he could handle them, and frankly didn't care that much, but today he didn’t want to do that. 
YN gives him one final cold look and leaves through the front door. I really hate the Harringtons.
-
Steve showed up at school one day with his pretty face destroyed. Things changed after that, Eddie noticed how the twins, especially YN, were more lowkey. Steve was dealing with his own battles but YN started to be nicer to everyone, even Eddie. She couldn't stand him, but she wasn't mean anymore. Eddie also noticed how she wasn��t as close with the cheerleaders as she used to, she had been getting lunch with only her brother and Nancy. 
He was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt when Billy appeared in the picture. She started dating him after a couple of weeks, going against everyone, rumor was she stopped being close to Steve because he wasn't very fond of the idea. After all, Billy was stepping into King’s Steve territory. 
Eddie was leaving Hellfire Club, his d&d club when he heard a very loud sound coming from one of the classrooms. It sounded as if one of the sits were thrown against the other, he hesitated on going to check what was going on but if anything were to happen, he was sure he'd be blamed for it. When he was just a few feet away from the door he saw Billy leaving the classroom, he looked annoyed and with his stupid and defining smile of his, Billy ignored Eddie and just walked away. Still, Eddie went to see what happened, he was curious as to what HH's new asshole had done. To his surprise, YN was sitting on the floor, her face buried in her hands. She had a cut on his arms that was starting to bleed.
Eddie was a little clumsy, and he had to run away from home several times as a kid before Wayne took him in. He practically scaped from his dad and due to his clumsiness, he used to get a lot of cuts, scrapes, and bruises, that’s why Wayne taught him to always carry bandaids, all kinds of them: plastic, sheer, foam, flexible fabric, and his all-time favorite; with funky designs. 
He steps into the classroom and sits in front of YN, she acknowledges his presence only when he took her arm and with a piece of paper cleans the blood that was almost getting to his shirt. It was one of those cuts that bleed a lot but in reality, is barely an injury. They don’t say a word, YN looks away and Eddie is focused on cleaning the wound. He finishes quickly and proceeds to put on the bandaid, he chose a navy blue one with little baby blue lighting. 
He gives a gentle press to secure the bandaid making sure he doesn't press too hard on the injury and that’s it. He stands up and is prepared to leave the place when a fragile and tender hold stops his walk. YN is looking at him, her eyes are watery but she didn’t let a single tear leave her eyes. Now that he thinks about it, she wasn’t crying when he entered the room, even if it was a silent cry, he would have noticed it. Maybe she’s one of those people who don’t cry. 
“Thanks” she says with a little smile. For the first time, Eddie doesn’t see a fake pretentious smile, this smile is a genuine one, grateful even. Her eyes are so big, that even though they reflect sadness, there’s a special light in them. Or maybe it’s just the tears.
“Sure” she let go of his hand and he turns around to walk out, he’s thinking how bad Billy must be if he left his girlfriend alone and bleeding in an empty school. Hell, maybe he got her hurt. 
-
Summer was around the corner, the hype for school to be over was everywhere. Eddie was planning a campaign in the library since it was practically empty. There was no more homework, finals have passed, at this point, people only attended school to play. He just got the news that once again he was not graduating, this was the second time and the thought of being in this hell of a place one more entire year made his skin crawl. That’s why he was taking his time with his new campaign, it helped him to clear his mind.
“You’re holding too hard it’s starting to hurt” he recognizes YN’s voice in a second, he didn't hear that damn voice all the time in class all these years in vain. He’s sure she’s not in the library and ignores the voice.
“Billy, let go. You’re hurting me” Eddie looks up, and through the library’s window, he sees Billy pulling YN’s arm forcing her to walk. He lets out a big sigh, he’s once again in the predicament of just going on with his life or interfering in something he has nothing to do. Billy is one scary man, he won’t hesitate in taking Eddie to his grave, being honest, Eddie wouldn’t last a minute against Billy. On the other hand, Billy does something to her, he couldn’t deal with the guilt. And of course, he condones violence against women, he swore he was never gonna be like his father and if he could do anything to prevent and stop another abusive man, he was gonna do it. 
As he’s walking to get behind the library, he sees Steve talking to some people, maybe the right thing to do was to tell Steve what he saw, that way he couldn’t get any problems. He thinks about the possibility of going for help with Steve, which would ruin his entire reputation, and Steve’s friends would probably laugh at him. Get it together, this is not about you.
“Hey Steve” the guy turns and sees Eddie standing in front of him. It was weird for both of them to be facing each other, they felt so uncomfortable you could cut the awkwardness in the air.
“What do you want Munson?” the tension increases because Eddie can find the words and Steve is impatient. 
“Listen man, I don’t mean to be nosy or anything but I think you should know this” Eddie begins to explain. Steve asks Eddie to go with him and find his sister, he’s not amused since he didn’t want to get involved in the first place, that’s why he told the twin, but then again, he doesn’t want the story of the abusive partner to repeat. 
They spot Billy first and he’s so angry, his whole face is red. He’s raising his voice at her, she’s not letting him walk all over her and respond back, this obviously makes Billy angrier and he grabs her by her arms. There’s no need to be a genius to notice how Billy’s strength hurts her. Steve’s reaction is to run and immediately push Billy away, she falls to the floor due to Billy’s quick movement and Eddie helps her stand up trying not to grab her by the several bruises she already had. 
She begs Steve not to fight and even when he wants to do it more than anything, he stops himself just to avoid a dramatic scene where his sister would be the center of attention. Eddie has to give it to Steve, the teens in Hawkins High were judgmental, very, and always blamed the victim, it was smart not to create more drama in which she would be the first target.
“You touch her again, I’ll fucking kill you” Billy laughs and makes fun of the three before disappearing to get to his car. Eddie couldn’t believe how someone who was having her arc of redemption could be with someone as awful as Billy. Maybe he didn’t know the guy but from what he’s seen, there are not many good things about him. 
"Thank you" YN holds Eddie's hand, she squeezes it a little and smiles fondly at him. It was the second genuine smile she's given and now that he thinks about it, her smile is beautiful. Her smile is like a warm hug. 
He stays behind and watched them go, hoping that after everything, he never has to see YN giving her beautiful smile to Billy. 
He was surprised to see YN at the school after Hellfire. The last time he knew about her was at the beginning of summer when she left a present at his door. The big box only had a note that says “Thanks. -YN Harrington”. He knew what the gift was for, she didn’t have to do it, Eddie began to think about what kind of life someone has to feel like they have to give something in return to someone who was just being nice. She had gifted him a blue electric guitar, and he loved it, of course, it wasn’t as special as his girl but it was still amazing. He’d like to rehearse with the blue guitar and even though he didn’t use it on his gigs, he’d still carried it around. 
“No way you’re here!” Dustin hugs her fondly while Erica and Mike look surprised too. The three of them greet her, they seem excited and immediately start to jump around her asking a lot of questions. She asks them to calm down and offers a ride home. 
“I’m going with my parents thanks. I’ve spent too much time with these nerds” Erica looks down at them rolling her eyes. YN loved Erica with his whole heart, she was a total girl boss. “You’re a cool nerd to play, maybe I’ll grace your needy reading club again”
“Lady Applejack” Eddie does a silly courtesy and lets her pass, YN eyes finally notices Eddie. His hair is longer than before and for some reason, his body seems bigger, like he’s gained some muscles. She notices that his shirts are getting better, the hellfire logo looks way more detailed than before. He incremented the quality, I respect that. 
It’s notorious to the boys, how the mood changed when Eddie and YN saw each other. They were standing in a straight position, like soldiers waiting to be ordered to do something, even breath is getting a little awkward.  
“So Eddie” Dustin said after a full minute of silence. “Do you need a ride?”     
“Those are not the manners I taught you little lost sheep” Eddie knows it’s your car and doesn’t want to bother, let alone make her feel uncomfortable. She looks different, the preppy outfit is gone, and her makeup is a little more refined but her glossy lips remain intact. "The lady here doesn't seem so happy about my presence"
"The lady here" she responds getting along with the game, Eddie like the playful smile she has on her face and is willing to pull all of his charms as long as she wants it. "It's not happy you’re corrupting her brother's children. But if the kind sir wants a ride, who am I to deny it" 
Eddie is having problems getting air to his lungs, she was every boy's dream for a reason. He was proud of his charming personality and way with words but at the moment he didn’t know how to respond. She made a funny courtesy mocking him and the innocent face she had, made his heart race. What in heaven's sake? 
He excused himself saying that he had an appointment to get to and leaving them in her car. YN says a cute goodbye to him, smiling so brightly and waving at him. He got a quick glance at her before getting in his van. Maybe, after all, he didn’t hate this Harrington that much.  
-
Eddie never in his life imagined that he'd be in this kind of situation. He was accused of murder, had to run from the police, had himself trapped in a shitty dimension called the upside down, now he was arriving at the Harrington's house in a stolen motor house full of weapons and planning to get back to said shitty dimension in an attempt to kill a dark wizard that wanted to take control over the world. Everything felt surreal to him. 
It was almost 11 pm when they saw the streets clear, due to the curfew, and got the trailer out of the woods and into Harrington's garage. This might be the craziest part so far, he made himself "at home" next to the ones he always despised, in their house no less. 
"We can take turns to shower and maybe rest a little" Steve was getting out of the kitchen with his hands holding five beers and Dustin behind him with a pack of sodas. The mood was tense, they had their hearts full of hope as well as fear. Fear that maybe they were walking to their inevitable death. 
The kids were the first to take showers, they used two bathrooms to save time since it was dangerous to be separated in case Vecna tried to take one of them. Eddie and YN were the last to take a shower. 
As the warm water relaxed his body, Eddie still felt anxious, he was determined to not run this time, he wasn't letting his fears rule this time. No more running from Eddie the banished, he had said to Dustin. 
When he got out of the bathroom Steve had left him a shirt and some pants to change, ok no, this is the craziest. Eddie in a Hawkins' High shirt with the basketball shorts to match. 
"You're hilarious Steve, didn't you have the jacket to match?" He walks out of the room and only finds YN sitting on the stairs smoking a cigarette. 
"Hate to tell you this but it was I who chose this precious outfit you're wearing and I did think about the jacket but it's too warm you know?" she laughs "want a smoke?" 
"I think Robin's gonna be disgusted if she catches us smoking" while taking a seat, he grabs a cigarette and starts to smoke. 
"Meh, she has more control over Steve, I can handle a disgusted Robin" 
Eddie knows how gross smoking is, it's also really bad for the body and even worse for the environment, yet, he can't help but think that YN looks really hot while doing it. She looks like one of those elegant actresses from the 50s. Her side profile should be in a museum.
"Big fan of Alice in Wonderland?" she takes a look at her pajamas, her really old pajamas.
"Our parents aren't around a lot you know? And after we turned ten they didn't care if they'll be available for our birthdays" YN explain, her voice mixing sadness and whatever "So Steve and I always spend our birthday together, all day for us. And as soon as we could, started to buy gifts for each other. He's very good at it and he's never gotten me the same thing, so, when we were fourteen he got me these pj's and they've become my comfort clothes" she embraces herself and smells the fabric, dreamy eyes, and warm smile. "Sounds silly I know"
"No, no, no, not at all" Eddie says grabbing her hand "I actually think is great that you have each other. It's kinda what I have with my uncle" 
"Yeah?"
"No shit, he’s the best" 
"Well I'd love to meet him" 
"I think we can arrange that" he's closer to YN than ever before, their noses almost touching. Her minty breath over his lips. They only had a couple of hours of calm before their plan started, and Eddie wants it to spend every second of it with her. He grabs her chin and rubs her cheek with his thumb, not for even one second, YN stops staring at him. She's noticing how beautiful his eyes are, his wet hair is dripping a little, and he’s glowing like she’s never seen someone glow before. 
Their lips are almost pressed against the other when Nancy appeared in the hall looking for them. They were gonna take turns to sleep thirty minutes and half of the group would guard. 
“Ok, we’ll wait for you two” Nancy is one of the most brilliant people in the world, YN really admired her but right now, she wanted to kill her for two reasons: 
The smile on her face let them notice that she knew what was happening. 
She interrupted what could have been an amazing kiss.    
-
Amazed can be described as causing a strong emotional reaction because of unexpectedness, but never YN imagine she’d be in the presence of something that the expression itself couldn’t describe. She’s astonished watching Eddie play guitar, YN doesn’t know the song, it’s not her taste, but Eddie playing it is definitely working for her. The way he’s moving his fingers is mesmerizing, she feels in some kind of spell; his stage presence, if you can call the top of his trailer a stage, is simply majestic. 
At the trailer, once the bats had been distracted, Eddie and Dustin were through the clouds because of the performance, jumping, clapping and screaming. YN had stayed behind, just watching their excitement, for her, it was the cutest thing that could happen in the middle of the end of the world. 
Eddie turned to her and lift her off the ground, spinning around like in an old movie. When he puts her down, they look in the eyes. They never expected to be in this place, throughout the entire adventure they’ve been together. With YN, Eddie didn’t feel judged or pitty, on the contrary, he could feel her supporting him and never doubting his innocence. They got to know each other several times they got paired together, Eddie knew she liked to dance to Tears for Fears, she hated thunderstorms and had been battling with a lot of anxiety issues, in no time he learned how to deal with them and was now part of the protect YN club, as Dustin calls it. And now, she knew that Eddie is a sweet person, he likes to go for walks and pick up rocks and flowers that he thinks are interesting, he has a beautiful spirit and he’s not afraid of showing his inner kid; he was also very gentle and polite when he wanted to be and his loyalty and priorities were something he always had first. 
The bats attacking the trailer wake them up, forcing them to react fast and protect all the entrances however they could. As soon as they finish, Eddie sent Dustin first to the other side, once he is safe, Eddie is ready to let you go.
YN already has her hands on the sheets and she gives one last look to Eddie's big eyes. He can't resist her gaze, he said Dustin that he was done running and now he didn’t want to wonder if they could've been. 
In a decisive moment, he takes YN's face in his hands and kisses her. Her lips were soft, almost silken, and pillowy against his own. He could feel the soft tickle of her breath beneath his nose, fingers carding through her hair as they breathed each other in. Warmth blossomed in YN's chest, butterflies dancing in her stomach.  
Without saying another word, he hugs her. An intimate hug where their chest and stomachs touch, all he did was hug her. Her brain is still dizzy but she listens to Eddie and starts climbing. When she reaches the other side with Dustin, she's ready to catch Eddie with open arms but he has other plans.
"I'm buying more time" was all he said.
Her heart stops at the sign of Eddie cutting the sheets and running away. She and Dustin scream at the top of their lungs, begging him to come back but all they hear is the bats attacking the trailer. 
"Dustin quick, get the chair" 
"No, you can't get back. Steve..."
"Steve will have to understand" several years of volleyball and cheerleading practices finally we're paying off, she jumped and somehow managed to fall and not injured too much. 
She's running. Of course Steve would never understand, YN herself didn't understand what she was about to do. It was a stupid idea, what was she supposed to do? Just scream at the bats to leave Eddie alone? Distract them? She didn't know, all she knew was that she was not leaving Eddie alone. 
She spotted Eddie surrounded by hundreds of bats, he was trying his best to stop them with the shield but it was almost broken. He was now on the floor bleeding.  Almost there, an idea came to her mind, and without thinking so much, she throws the bike at the bats with as much strength as she can find in her arms, this allows her to find a way to Eddie.
The bats turn their attention to her, as a weapon she had chosen Steve’s nail bat because, in a really weird way, it was like her brother was there to get her back like always. 
She’s just swinging the bat like there’s no tomorrow, and sadly, maybe there wasn’t. The bats were too many, the bites hurt like hell and the bastards tried their best to choke her. Out of the blue, Eddie is barely standing but willing to help her.
Maybe not so much time has passed but it sure feels like it, the bits burn like hell. They’ve never experienced that kind of burning in their skin. They were losing the fight, both severely injured and exhausted from fighting. Suddenly, all the bats fall heavily to the ground. Eddie can’t understand what happened, he takes the bat and starts pinching a few to make sure they’re gone.
He falls in front of her, his hand pressing on one side of his stomach. She quickly gets on the ground with him, YN ripped off her shirt to make bandages on the worst injuries even if she’s injured herself, she wants to make sure he’s got a chance.
“You came back?” Eddie’s voice was weak, barely loud enough to hear it. YN didn’t pay so much attention to what he was saying, she just wanted to cure him somehow. He takes her hands, usually, she would be disgusted by all the blood, but in the present time, his touch gave her somehow peace. “Please, just why?”
“I couldn’t leave you. You’ve always been around for me, even if you didn’t have to” she stops with the bandages at the sign that she couldn’t do more “I’m sure at that time you hated me, and to be honest I hated you too but now… you’re so precious Eddie I just got the time to get to know you, please don’t leave us. Don’t leave me” 
“We’ll have the time” Eddie squeezes YN’s hand and she’s crying in his chest. “I think it’s finally my year” 
Her wounds were bad as well, she was not losing that much blood but the pain was insufferable, pain that she had ignored to help Eddie. “‘86 baby” was the last she heard before passing out from the pain.   
-
Eddie woke up in a room he didn’t recognize and it was a hideous room. The curtains and walls had the same plain design and on the wall was a single picture: a car. Who the fuck lives here? 
“Hey, I thought I could get back before you wake up" Steve says in a whisper. 
"I appreciate the romantic gesture but why are you whispering?"
"Take a look on the floor" Eddie looks to the right and sees nothing, he raises his eyebrow "On the other side you moron " 
There she is completely knocked out. YN is sleeping on a mattress cover with only a sheet, Eddie can notice her pajamas, her comfort pajamas. She looks like an angel even with all the cuts and bruises. Steve kindly moves her to wake her up, it takes only a couple of pushes for her to wake up in a rush.
"How is he?... oh my god you're up!" He's never seen someone jump so fast. YN pulls Eddie closer in a tight hug, he responds back and grabs her with both arms. Both of them closed their eyes, after their last hug it was a miracle they were hugging again. 
"Careful there, he almost dies remember?" 
"Oh right I'm sorry, I shouldn't press too hard" 
"Don't you dare start listening to your brother now" Eddie takes YN's hands provoking her to feel a little tingle on her stomach "Listen I just wanna say that…"
"Oh for the love of God don't say I love you" Steve interrupts "You don't love each other yet, you just share trauma" 
"Don worry dude, I'll tell you I love you too" she laughs when her brother leaves the room, he was blushing. "So anyways, I really wanna thank you for getting back, for me. You could've died" 
"But I didn't and we got you a chance to live" 
"So I guess it's my turn to really say thank you uh?" 
"It is Eddie the banished, Dungeon Master of Hellfire" 
"Cute, cute" Eddie shuts up for a moment, he was looking through the window, it was still hard to believe everything that happened. "I'd like to get to know you better… I don't want to leave whatever happened in the upside down to be just whatever" 
"Well, we might face the end of the world together so why not” 
They talked for hours, in between laughs and some tears they were happy to have someone to share their feelings. YN was tormented by the fact that she used to be a bitch to Eddie in school and apologized a lot for it until he accepted it. He mocked her for her preppy outfits and she remind him how funny his hair looked when it was growing. Before getting back to sleep she thank him one more time for always being around when she needed someone. 
“I’ve always been around and I’m planning to stay, remember I still have to say I love you” 
-
Wayne Munson was a skeptical man, he had faced a lot of crap in his life. He was a war veteran and throughout those years he developed a strong character, he learned to believe and trust only his close ones. Sadly, he was forgetting how to love too, but when his sister passed away, he couldn’t let his nephew with the crap of a dad he had. Eddie was almost eleven when he arrived at Wayne’s trailer, of course the man didn’t have a clue on how to raise a child, let alone a child like Eddie. His boy, as Wayne tends to call him with other people, was a tornado of pure joy, Eddie was a kind passionate kid with big dreams and great talent for everything that included being creative; music was his greatest passion but he also love fantasy, that’s why Wayne used to took him to thrift shops and book fairs to buy as many books and they could. Eddie didn’t mind the books weren’t new, in fact, he liked the idea that all his books had a past, he invented stories about the previous owners and always narrated them to his uncle. Wayne really loves his nephew, when a random kid told him he knew where Eddie was, he doubted it’ll be true, his hopes were less and less every day. 
“You’re telling me, that my Eddie is inside the Harrington’s house?” Wayne is almost frustrated with Dustin because he won’t say a single clear thing. “Listen kid, I can’t keep losing my time…”
The front door opens and the Harrington twins greet him, they invite him to come down and he hesitates to do so. It’s been two days since the “earthquake”, Wayne wonders if something happened to these kids because the boy has marks on his neck and arms and the girl has bruises all over her face and arms as well. 
“Are your parents home? I’d love to thank them for inviting me to their home” the twins look at each other, their parents only called them and ask if they were alive and that more money was transferred into their individual accounts for the emergency. Wayne knew the Harringtons only on the surface: rich, important, never in Hawkins. 
“They’re not but that’s not important,” the girl said “I’m YN Harrington, your nephew has told me, us, a lot about you sir. If you could follow me please”
Wayne followed her upstairs, a little nervous of the interaction. She stopped in one of the rooms and opened one of the doors, with her hand she offered Wayne to enter and he did. Laying in bed, with a beat-up face and bandages all over him was his nephew. Wayne immediately went to hug him and Eddie return his hug with a big sigh. even when he was the one who went to fight in another dimension, Eddie was always worried for the well-being of his uncle, the only family he had. 
“I thought I’ll never see you again” Eddie clap his uncle’s back with a big smile. 
“Come on Wayne! you know only the good die young” 
 “I’ll leave you alone for a moment” YN was watching them, for a moment she wished she and Steve had someone like Wayne in their lives, but at least they had their chosen family. 
“No please,” Eddie said and offered a place on the bed “I want to introduce you”.
YN was about to get to bed when in the window, she saw white dust falling. Her expression changed and Eddie noticed it right away. Her face was in complete shock and panic. She goes closer to the window, Eddie stands up and gets next to her, the pain was nothing compared to the fear that invaded his body. 
YN looks for his hand, Eddie intertwined their fingers and look her in the eyes at the same time as her. Both watching the dust fall all over town, they realized the battle is not over.  
Let me know what you think :)

'Hey goose you big stud'
'That's me, honey'
'Take me to bed or lose me forever'
'Show me the way home, honey'
That. They're just sweet and playful and tons of fun I cant stop thinking about it coz steve has 1000 percent seen and loves top gun
Thank you for the request 🌼 Ummm this would absolutely be the epitome of the relationship between Steve and his girlfriend, so you've hit the nail on the head with this.
a/n: I’m so sorry this took so long! I hope you enjoy x
Okay so here's a few headcanons 🌹
𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐆𝐮𝐧
Tumblr media
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ
🌿 (see I’m using a plane as the dot points bcs top gun hehe) 
✈ Okay so I see Steve and you meeting through Dustin. You’re his first cousin (your mother is Dustin’s mum’s sister). Obviously, you’re quite a few years older than your lil cousin, but you grew up together because you lived so close by. 
⭑ You have a younger sister by 4 years and a baby brother. She’s in the same year as Erica and they hang out together. 
✈ One day you were over at your Aunt’s house, helping her clean and keeping an eye on Dustin when he randomly shouted he had to leave. His mother wouldn’t let him go unless you went with him
⭑ So, off you went, trying to keep up with Dustin on your bike; not knowing that your life would soon be thrown in disarray. 
✈ You ended up at Mike Wheeler’s house, where a bunch of Dustin’s friends were freaking out. You were confused, very very confused when a guy around your age (younger or older, you decide) walked through the door. You knew about Steve ‘the Hair’ Harrington; his ex-relationship with Nancy and well, about everything else. Dustin thought of him as a god; he had nearly talked your ear off about the amazing Steve, calling him heroic, etc etc. 
⭑ It’s not as if you hated him, you just had ... high expectations 
 “And whose this?” Steve asked, looking at you. 
     “I’m Dustin’s cousin, y/n.” You kept eye contact with him, wondering why he seemed to be staring you down. 
✈ Dustin wanted you guys to get together as soon as he saw you two standing side by side. And it was like a lightbulb turned on. 
⭑ He, along with the gang, decided to get you two together. Making sure you guys were alone a lot. And that you’d have time together to talk. 
✈ You would tease each other a lot, especially before you got together
⭑ There would definitely be some mutual pining because neither of you thought the other even cared about you
✈ Steve would definitely make sure you always got home safe (also Dustin loved that you stayed at his place so he could see Steve more)
⭑ Everyone but the two of you seeing that you guys were in love
✈ It wasn’t until you guys actually watched Top Gun with the gang that they looked at the two of you with wide eyes. 
  “YOU’RE CAROL AND GOOSE!” Dustin shouted, a wide grin on his face. 
“What we are not-” Steve retorted from his seat, which was on the floor, sitting between your legs while you put little plaits in his hair. 
     “You so are,” Max said, with her eyebrows raised. 
You just shrugged, smirking because Dustin was right. 
   “I shouldn’t even be letting you guys watch this anyway-” Steve moved to get up but was met by a chorus of whines. “Okay okay fine. Just don’t tell your mothers.”
⭑ Robin absolutely adores you and thinks you’re such a great match for Steve. She was a little jealous at first because he was around you a lot, but you would always tell him to invite Robin.
“Hey, maybe Robin wants to come?” 
     “Y/N, I’m taking you on a date.” 
“Okay and?” 
✈ Steve would try to get on with your siblings, but your younger sister is in that stage where she judges everyone. And Steve gets self-conscious:
  “Hey kid, how was school?” Steve leaned against the kitchen bench, his arms crossed over his chest. 
     “What’s it to you?” Your little sister retorted. 
“God kids are so mean these days,” Steve muttered to you when you walked into the room. 
⭑ If you wanted to paint Steve’s nails then he’d be totally fine with it 
     “Y/N, I think pink is more my colour. I’m not a red kinda gal.” 
✈ Also you’re family loves him, and Dustin can’t wait for you guys to get married so he can officially call Steve his family. Oh, and he’s happy that you’ve found someone as well. 
⭑ You would be a trusted leader in the gang now
✈ And you would spend a lot more time at Dustin’s place, it’s closer than your house to Steve. Although he wouldn’t mind making a journey just to see you
⭑ Without thinking he calls you ‘good girl,’ and your stomach does flips 
✈ Flirting ALL. THE. TIME. 
     “Hey, don’t let my girlfriend hear you say that,” Steve smirked, moving a stray hair from your face.

Hazbin Hotel 7-8 (Spoil McNoil)
Hazbin Hotel is indeed not an action show.
But at least they tried to have some action.
Should they have tried tho?
Tumblr media
(I'm gonna start out ripping, but, I don't hate this show, it's actually pretty funny that does some things super well but then just bumble fucks other big moments)
I mean, here's the thing, they're great at street fights, apparently. Vaggie vs Lute was pretty brutal, I felt like I was watching two bird tear eachother apart. Like a scene out of Gardians of Ga'Hoole.
But the ninja anime fantasy, martial arts type stuff was pretty weak, and didn't really track as something the characters would utilize. Like, Alastor is a cannibalistic voodoo serial killer from 1930's New Orleans. And twice before we've seen Alastor grow and contort to intimidate, kill, etc. But he doesn't do any of that against Adam except for that one aesthetic moment. Instead it's got generic "Tentril powers, GO!" vibes. Husker and Charlie also have this problem. Why is an American Gambler using cards like ninja stars? He can fly dude-- or, can he?
Can Husker fly?
And Charlie- like, she has a sheild, but she can only really use it to protect herself :/ Like, girl, just go inside.
Lucy beating the shit out of Adam was cut so short, Like, 2 secs and 4 punches b4 Charlie goes "DAD STOP ITS TOO MUCH"-- no, let Lucy COOK; I think it would have actually been an interesting point to make on how the reason Lucifer gives for discouraging the Hotel is sinner's being "The Worst", yet here he is clearly having a fit of violence (an understandable one but, Charlie, who's never even been to heaven except for a bs court hearing, has to remind a high-ranking angel to have mercy.) Charlie, razz and Dazz transforming didn't really do anything-- it actually felt more like a game of thrones reference, which would be fine if Razz or Dazz DID anything except die. They also didn't explain Carmilla's motive for helping them well. Like, neat entrance, but the build ups to the pay offs didn't exist :,O
And the voice acting: These guys are great singers, but the noises they make when they get hit, their mid-battle dialogue, is so corny and tonally off for certain characters. Like, Alastor and Charlie's yells in particular are- pardon my accent but cringe af.
Charlie in particular has so many anti-climatic moments. If they meant for her to not be particularly good at fighting, maybe establish that and not have all these super dramatic badass magical girl moments that just lead to her getting dunked on. It was so anticlimactic jeezuz christ.
And really it's more about picking a tone, the anti climactic moments could have been funny if they framed it as a funny moment or a joke, but it's framed seriously so it's read seriously.
But, who doesn't bumble fuck around how to end something though. I've read some juicy, golden touch stories that really freaked out on the gas and steering at the end. So, this isn't anything uncommon, especially for relatively new creators.
They have flaws, who doesn't. I loved so much about this show even when my first impression going in was just cringing at it not being what I expected. This is a critique of love, guys, I genuine wish the best for this show, bc it's apparent that when Viv has the freedom and breathing room she needs to plan and pace, she can cook up a good ass goddamned meal (See: Helluva Boss, Season one). This was them crunching and smushing a ton of story and moments into too-few episodes, which, looking back could have been done better, but its easy to see how something can be better once it's done and out in the world. (See: literally any amature artist 2 seconds after posting their work)
The season finale ended with so many good set ups tho! :D
Lilith vacaying in heaven, having made a deal with Adam.
Tumblr media
Alastor becoming desperate for a way out, having made deals with Vaggie and Charlie-- And far more explicitly there against his will. Also--is a future antagonist?
Tumblr media
Yes PLEASE. I love that they showed Al loosing his shit through his eyes even with the smile he's always wearing. And they built this up before hand having him talk previously about wearing a smile, basically as a mask.
PENTIOUS
YOU REDEEMED FU-
Tumblr media
(I was actually cringing at Pentious the entire time inep 8, I'm sorry but he's so hard to take seriously-- even his "death" was funny as hell. I love him but its like how someone loves a clumsy puppy that destroys your house without neither malice nor remorse)
Also: The exorcists switching leaders- I am wondering how things are gonna change with them, especially given how much more sadistic and violent Lute is. Like, Adam just liked laughing at sinners. He saw them as insults to his existance, his mini-me hates and seems like she just enjoys violence and malice, using ego and "they deserve it" narratives as an excuse to indulge in acts that ordinarily would lan someone in hell.
Overall-- Not the best season finale I've ever seen, execution-wise through these 8 episodes (like, Vaggie got her wings learning to fight for love, but she's been doing nothing but supporting and protecting Charlie this whole time. There was no hint that she was bitter or wanted revenge). They definitely needed to pace and build things better but there's so much to love. Like, Seeing Alastor in his element with Rosie and Nifty was so fun, even if they were small moments (his laugh is so stiff tho, c'mon Al.)
The finale did a good job setting up the future, but I don't have much more to say than that. Hopefully, now that they know they're getting a second season, they'll just, breathe on this one a bit more ya?
I'm glad I watched it, I cried, I laughed, I cringed, I yelled at Pentious for subjecting me to second hand embarrassment. It's great :,D
Also- I hope he doesn't read this and takes it the wrong way, but Vox reminds me of my brother-- Especially with the scenes where he's watching the battle :,D

heyo james, I've got a question for ya :) (pls feel free to not answer if it's too personal!)
So, I've finally started making calls to get top surgery, and I was really excited! like wow this thing I've been looking forward to for years is finally gonna happen, i'll get to wear shirts without having to constantly think about how i look, etc.
but then I started thinking more about it (i guess because its becoming more Real?), and I'm more conflicted about getting rid of my chest. like, hairy tits go kinda hard actually, and like sensory wise they are fun for stimming. plus i feel INFINITE BUTCH SWAG with them. if it was just me by myself forever, I feel like I could be happy with them, but I also find myself yearning for like, being able to be shirtless in public and also having a smooth surface to run my hands down. stuff like that. (also especially the "not worrying about how I look when i put on a t-shirt thing)
so here's my question: I remember you making a comic about how happy you were to have had top surgery, even if u still missed your old chest sometimes, or felt conflicted about it. what do u miss about your old chest? do you ever feel dyphoric with ur current chest? if u have any other insights or things to say, pls do
(p.s. i am considering non-flat surgery, but i don't know how i feel abt that yet because currently I think it'd be the worst of both worlds for me. i don't think the results would be what i actually want: flat chest that's just slightly rounded across the whole thing so it's soft and kinda andro looking)
hi moth yayyy so exciting!! ty for ur question!! longish answer so its under the cut
first i wanted to say that when i first decided to look into having top surgery, after my consultation, i got wigged out and decided to hold off on it for a while. talking to the surgeon made me Really understand that it is a major surgery and everything that entails. a lot of it freaked me out and i ended up deciding to go for it almost a year after that, and i'm glad i took that time to reconsider.
second, i totally relate to the butch swag thing and sensory thing. since having top surgery i've seen a lot more art and photos and people irl who are transmasc/genderqueer with boobs, much more than i did pre-op, and it makes me feel very happy and i wish i saw more of it back then bc it wouldve made me feel a lot better.
i do think that inherently, i would have been able to make peace with my body as is and not had surgery. i was never super dysphoric about my chest and i liked having partners who found it attractive. like you said, if it was just me by myself, or if i was only ever around people who wouldn't see me having boobs as contradictory to me passing as male, i wouldn'tve minded as much.
but unfortunately it doesn't exist in a vacuum like that. the body is a public form, it's how you engage with the world. similar to what you said, i wanted to be able to be shirtless, not wear a binder, be able to pass sometimes, etc. i also wanted the sensory experience of like, laying down flat on my chest, or running without breasts moving which was always uncomfortable for me esp since i hated wearing bras.
i don't feel dysphoric about my current chest, it's more like a passing wistfulness for how my chest used to be or would've been now if i hadn't had surgery. sometimes it's just the feeling of absentmindedly holding my own boob i miss lol. since i had surgery pretty young there's things i feel like i might've missed out on. i live in a wayyy more transsexual ass place now where it's way more normal for a man to have, and show off, breasts, and for it to be attractive, and not negate his identity at all. and i think i would've slayyed like that. alas! on the day to day though, i've also been working more physical jobs where i want to pass as male, so binding would have been very uncomfortable and i'm glad i don't have to do it. and i get a ton of euphoria from being flat chested, and i'm lucky to be around people who find post-op transmasc chests cool and attractive. as much as i liked having partners be attracted to my chest pre-op, i've also learned that there Are people out there who find flat chests just as attractive, and i love having partners who are attracted to the masculinity of my body, because previously i'd often felt like i had to be feminine to be attractive
and re: a non-flat surgery option, i do think it's something to look into! i never really considered it cuz for me it wasn't really the size of my chest that mattered, more like entirely having breasts or not, and i didn't want to go thru the whole ordeal of surgery just to be dysphoric again or end up wanting to get a flat chest later on - though many people do get a reduction/semi-flat surgery and later have full top surgery and it's totally cool!!!
feel free to send a follow up if i didn't answer something in particular or you want me to elaborate on anything ^_^

Okay alright okay alright. SO.
Batman/Superman World's Finest #22
I haven't been reading this, so not going to comment on the story so far, but I MOST CERTAINLY am going to comment on the Metron parts of this particular issue. Putting it below a read more for spoilers. Anyway, view it if you want screenshots, lots of me yelling in caps, and uh my steaming hot takes. It might be a long one, guys.
Tumblr media
[ID: Comic panel of Gog sitting on a large green throne in the air with David Sikela as Thunderman standing with him. /END]
OKAY so first fucking page and we're already getting into shenanigans.
I will admit I haven't read Kingdom Come and it would be valuable reference material at this point what with Gog and Boy Thunder Thunderman. I also am to understand that Bats and Supes are in a world that isn't yet aware of the multiverse so they're getting a lot of pushback, and that they come from like a while back relative to current canon. HOWEVER you can't just have Gog showing up in the goddamn MOBIUS CHAIR with the freaking WORLOGOG floating above it. (Worlo...gog..... Oh wait is that why he's called Gog?)
Anyway, how did he get it? Why doesn't Metron have it? What about the rest of the canon of the chair? Like, I know the history of the New Gods in general has gotten real screwy over the years, but I am so confused where this is meant to fit in. I think I'm going to have to read more to figure it out. They've got some explaining to do.
So there's more fighting and good guy Superman breaks magical chains (wut?) but the two let themselves get caught and thrown in the clinker anyway. Meanwhile, Supes is going on about the throne, the throne, it's so familiar.
Tumblr media
[ID: Cropped panel of Earth 22's Batman escorting our Superman to jail. Superman says, "Looks like the heroes of this world have been working overtime to clear the board of opposition. Gog's throne... did it look familiar to you? I could swear I've seen it before." Batman says, "Stop talking". /End]
OH WHAT YOU THINK CLARK? YOU COULD'VE SWORN YOUVE SEEN IT BEFORE?
Alright. I'm calming down about this one. When I first read it I had tons of beef with this line, especially bc this isn't the first time one of the trinity is acting like they don't know Metron. HOWEVER given the timeline I think the only time this Superman would've met Metron would've been during Justice League of America #183-185 and they didn't necessarily interact. So okay. He remembers the chair but vaguely. Fair enough. But you're on watch, Superman.
So they get thrown in a cell and there's a feeble, weak man curled up in the corner surrounded by blood splatters. Who could it be?????
It's Metron!
but uhh... he don't look so good.
Tumblr media
[ID: Two comic panels. In the first Batman leans in to view Metron, sitting on the dirty floor in the corner with his knees drawn up and cowering. Metron says, "Tell me... tell me anything. It's been... so long since I've heard... since I've learned... feed me. Please... feed me."
In the next panel, he continues, "I'm so... so very hungry..." To which Batman crouches down and responds, "I'm sorry. We have nothing to--" Superman cuts him off to explain. "He's not hungry for food, Bruce. He's starving for knowledge. It's his sustenance. I recognize this man." /END]
SAY WHAT? HE'S.. FUCKING STARVING... FOR
STARVING FOR KNOWLEDGE?
this is literally the first time I've ever heard this as a Thing about Metron. Mark Waid, you are making up some wacky as hell type of shit here and I can't tell if I hate it or love it.
On one hand, HE DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT. But on the other hand, idk it's kind of interesting. Makes his desire for knowledge more of a true need than an obsession. But personally I like the obsession aspect because when there are consequences he can't just say "oh well it's just my nature lolz!"
But yeah, him asking to be fed is me every day that there is zero Metron fan content on this god forsaken website. FEED ME.
Tumblr media
[ID: Close up on Metron, head cowered and face anguished. From off screen Superman says, "Gog's throne belongs to him. It's his Mobiue Chair. This is Metron of the New Gods." /END]
Yes, yes he is Metron. Of the New Gods. And I get it, Gog is one of the old gods. But like, the New Gods were meant to be better! Smarter! Kinder! Brighter! And I find it I N C R E D I B L Y hard to believe that even an old god would get the drop on Metron and steal his chair. BUT it wouldn't be an interesting story in that case, would it? And other stories have had his chair stolen away, so it's not unprecedented like how him being hungry for knowledge is a new concept.
One of the things that's funny about Metron is that often he is introduced like this because fucking no one knows who this asshat is. Like fans I mean. Some do, but many don't. Especially these days. So I can see why writers are always like "Introducing: Metron! A New God! He's smart! He has a chair!". Gotta let readers know who he is and what's his deal. It means that there are a lot of panels that feature him showing up, so that's fun. Maybe I'll put together a compilation of those some day.
Another thing that's funny about Metron is that he is 100% used as a plot device. You got Batman and Superman as characters because we know and love them. You've got Gog and I guess future Magog as antagonists because they're compelling and have desires that conflict with our heroes. But why Metron? Because he can make things happen and tie things together multiversally. BUT even more than that!! Because THE MOBIUS CHAIR can be taken from him and used by others to further the plot. I've said it before and I am now saying it again. The Mobius Chair might just go on to be a more important character in this story than Metron. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But back to the story.
Tumblr media
[ID: Metron still sits on the floor with Batman crouched to him and Superman standing nearby. Metron says, "Years... I have been held here... for years..." And Superman explains, "Metron is from a world called New Genesis. Sister world to Darkseid's Apokolips. Is Gog also from--?" Metron cuts him of saying, "No. And that, in a grave sense, is the peril before us." /END]
Alright so now they're going to exposition at us hard. And wouldn't you know, this is all leading to Darkseid (probably). Hey at least it's not another Amanda Waller plot amirite amirite?
So yeah I'm not going to screencap all of it bc it goes on for a while, but Metron explains that Gog is from Urgrund, the home of Then-Gods (well that term's news to me) of the Third World. You know, I always feel weird when writers try to canonize the term "fourth world" but whatever, it happens. And it looks like story time with Metron is explaining the origins of New Genesis and Apokolips. It's a far cry from the opening epilogue in New Gods #1 smh.
Wait hold on. Metron and Gog "became friends"? FRIENDS? Like buddies? Pals? Homies? Amigos? (pizza, nintendo woo woo woo lets go?) So our little Metron actually made a friend? Waid, you are going places I don't know if I can follow.
Tumblr media
[ID: Two comic panels. The first is a close up of Metron in profile. He says, "He was genuinely a force for good. But then... but then--" His narration continues in the next panel, "One day, I shared with Gog the secret of the multiverse as well as those realms that lie beyond it-- among them, New Genesis and Apokolips." The panel shows the two looking at a map of the DC multiverse. Gog is many times larger than Metron. /END]
God, the fucking map.
And um so Gog is looking reeeaaaaal Thanos-y here. Which is hilarious in its own right since Thanos was mostly based on Metron, and also partially on Darkseid. Plus, you can't ignore that involving the old gods means the meta of relating to Jack Kirby's work on Thor. So idk those are interesting little tidbits.
Tumblr media
[ID: Panel of Gog looking at the Mobius chair floating in front of him. Narration says, "Soon after the boy David arrived on this world, Gog implored me for a favor too dangerous to grant. He pleaded for the use of my cosmic vehicle, the Mobius Chair. I denied him." /END]
Alright so anyway, David shows up and Gog is like "Omigod David!!! Hi!!!!" and then he turns around and is like "Yo Metron, um, I have a new bestie now so like.. can I borrow the car?" To which Metron rightly says Fuck No.
LMFAO SO HE GETS PUNCHED OUT OF IT
Tumblr media
[ID: Gog's giant fist surrounded by electricity having punched Metron, who falls away sideways with back to the viewer. There is blood exploding from the side of his head. Narration says, "He took it nonetheless." /END]
🤣
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Looks like I have to update my fucking Metron Gets Yeeted post. Hilarious. Are we supposed to feel sympathetic? I guess so? Fans who don't know Metron are going to go wow wtf they were friends he didn't deserve that. Meanwhile, fans who DO know Metron are going YES FINALLY.
I'm laughing though. It's like Metron and Gog used to hang out and watch prehistoric man and they were both so into. But then Gog changed fandoms and hates Metron now. 😂
Alright anyway, so next this Earth's Batman and Superman show up and have heard Metron's woeful tale of betrayal. They're ready to help. And Metron knows what Gog is planning.
Tumblr media
[ID: Profile closeup of Metron still sitting with legs pulled to his chest. He says, "That much, I know. Gog plans to couple David's unique ability to traverse dimensions with the power of my Mobius Chair... allowing him not only to push through the cosmic wall surrounding the multiverse... but to lead an army behind him... beyond the Speed Force wall, beyond the Bleed..." /END]
Alright. Time to pause and address the elephant in the room. I held my tongue long enough, but I can no longer.
Dan Mora's art is fantastic, and he's a fan favorite for good reason. So to draw Metron LIKE THIS was 1000% intentional and I just.. WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THAT??? 😭 It is so god damn cursed. But to be fair, let's run through it, shall we?
Bad: No M-shaped cut out on the forehead. That's offense number one, and not one I take lightly. BUT after inspecting ALL APPEARANCES that Metron has had over several decades, I can confidently say it's not unheard of. And actually, you can see an example of how an M could have been reinterpreted as a boxy shape in my post about a Metron trading card.
Good: His ears are covered. Exposed ears through the cowl is a cardinal sin in my book.
Bad: Where are the lines on his head? Where is the orange dot/jewel thing?? Those are really integral to his design since his costume is otherwise kind of just a blue morph suit. Gog has a little jewel thing on HIS forehead, but what, is Metron not cool enough have one??! And btw I am DYING to see what his chest looks like. What kind of fuckery do you think they did with the design? Where do you think it'd land in this thing?
Good: His eyes are blue. Thank you. They're not glowing white and his irises are not fucking squares. I really hope we are DONE with that era.
Bad: wHY does he look like how people draw stereotypical witches? Can anyone explain this? Mr Mora, is Metron a HAG to you? Is that how you see him? Is he to live in a bog? (side note, I am not endorsing witch stereotypes)
Good: Is there anything good left? I guess that he's got some features I like. Deep set eyes, distinct/bony nose, thin lips. And he's older. That all rings true.
But most importantly. The biggest beef I have with this whole thing. The most flagrant disrespect... THE EYEBROWS WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WHY ARE HIS EYEBROWS JUST -OUT- LIKE THAT? I HATE IT IM DYING IM DECAYING I WANT IT TO STOP BAD BAD BAD
Ahem.
And then we close on Metron dropping a bomb that Gog doesn't want anyone to survive war on Apokolips.
Tumblr media
[ID: Close up of Metron looking stern, half his face in shadow. He says, "That's just it. Gog isn't planning on victory, he doesn't want to win. The Ascension is his name for a battle in which there will be no survivors." /END]
Okay, we're through it. We did it. I need to gather my thoughts somehow.
I'm interested to see where this goes, and it does make me want to go back and actually read Kingdom Come (I have been told to many times, but my reading is so slow I just haven't gotten to it). Or at least go back and read through this current title to catch up.
They dipped into New Gods lore in a few key ways, and yes they're on Earth 22 but all the Fourth World shit sits outside of the different Earths. So like, is Orion going to show up? Are you going to have the old gods, the origin of New Genesis and Apokolips, fucking Metron, and then NOT have Orion? That'd be a pretty weird move. But then again, his involvement might pull the story away from Batman and Superman too much.
Either way, I would expect we'd see Metron again at least once more. If I'm lucky, the Bats/Bats/Supes/Supes team will free Metron and take him with them since he's the Mobius Chair expert and all. And if I'm REALLY lucky, at some point he'll get his ugly af chair back and as soon as butt touches polymer he'll get all godly and badass or something. And he'll regain all his hubris and snark. And then maybe he'll get vengeance on Gog or something idk. He could really be a key player once he's back to his usual self and not in the fetal position on the floor. Look, I remember how maniacal with vengeance he was when Braniac got captured. He could 100% do the same here. I mean, Waid wouldn't end this whole thing without giving Metron his chair back ...right?
Um anyway, I think... I think I'm done. I might make a few shitposts about this in a minute here, but this is the end of my full blown rant. And this is ON TOP OF the 15 minute high speed lecture I already gave my partner about all of this. So anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

im OBSESSED with the idea of wlw tsot style truly genius wow
AHAHAHSAKHSDKHD!!!!! thank you, bestie! i love being a Genius!
jokes aside, last night, i was looking at the tsot concept, like really thinking hard, squinting at it like....whyyyyy....don't i like this? because idk, i personally think the tsot plot premise was badass, but maybe i am delusional, lmao -- that tracks for me. but deadass, i was like why am i not attached to this for some reason also?
...for some reason, the tsot style was never that enticing to me as a writer? and i thought it was because it was too complicated bc of the high fantasy elements...bc despite me masquerading as a genius i am a Fooking Imbecile like i am a court jester, the town FOOL...smh.
-- or even that it was...too sweet and wholesome for me??? because stan is so devoted to kyle in tsot and they are so in love. they're so cute? which is wonderful and all but i am an Angst Girlie, not in terms of reading fanfic ( yes, i do think its ironic that i write multi chapter slowburn style fanfics and only like to read fluffy oneshots where they get together at the end bc i'm impatient & cannot burn in hell )
tHEN THE SNOW DAY TRAILER CAME OUT AND I WAS LIKE????? EVIL STAN???? HEEEEELLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!! i am OBSESSED. that was an insane choice, i was so feral and i was like i need to write morally corrupted stan it's my duty as an angst queen -- which, you guys, i really think i was meant to write angst and hurt/comfort bc i was writing that lil ravesey drabble and i was like Levitating w/ energy i was so stoked omg i was having a BLAST...i love u, angst.
aN-KNEE-WAYZ! i developed that weird idea/tsot concept and i personally was fucking with it but i was still...not completely happy? and i couldn't tell why and it was pISSING ME THE FUCK OFF????
but now it makes sense...bc they are...Women, lol.
( okay, its uncle nina tsot idea info dump time! if you are rocking w/ me, ur welcome under the cut, please enjoy ur ncu toxic yuri <3 )
P.S. THIS IS VERY LONG -- VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!
so i think stan...goes by stas? in the tsot universe. that just makes sense to me, i also don't want to get confused bc i've written style as boys for so long if i keep calling stas stan it will make my brain hurt. SO STAS, LOOOOL!!! which i think is short for...anastasia?
or something weirdly hyper feminine and stas hates it to death, also stassie or stasia is still 2 girlie, so she is kind of also not rocking w/ those...i like how gender neutral stas is. let me know if its not cute.
bUT ANYWAYS AGAIN!!! this post is really unhinged, it's 3 am where i am rn and i am being so crazy, i woke up being really insane abt this. so stas works at her family's inn to help her mom out w/ everything because shelley is kind of a hater and randy is...a menace to society. like when i say stas has to pull that waste of a man out of the tavern oR LIKE THE BROTHEL???? HELLO??? every goDDAMN NIGHT??? shes so mad. especially since he keeps BORROWING MONEY THEY CANT PAY BACK BC RANDY IS SPENDING IT ALL???? AND THE LOAN SHARKS ARE ABT TO FUCKING KILL ALL OF THEM?
eye...hate you so much, randy marsh. *stas vc* Burn In Seven Hells.
however, conversely, i do love stas, WHO IS AN IIIIICON!!!! a bicon if you will, she do be...lying awake having iMPUre thoughts of lying with women oodsfjodosjfpsojf, sins of the flesh lMAAAAOOOO!!!! down so bad like please get A LIIIIFE!!!!!! which she's like Trying, i see you baby!!!! but you know, she has to wear a dress ( she did steal her dads pants bee tee dubs bc its hard to run around in a long ass dress, she truly hates that shit bc its inconvenient as hell, smh ) but yeah she do be drinking plifered ale with the boys and having the worst posture and freaking burping the alphabet and being DISGUSTING????? when i tell you stas is so disgusting...smh. she is giving bean from disenchanted if anyone has seen that show like really and truly. xx
which is SO FUNNY???? because, like all my ncu stans, stas is an uncanny level of beautiful like SSSOOOOOOO PRETTY??? like it is truly INSANE, men be OOGLING her which ew so Much!!! bc A Scurb Is A Guy Who Thinks He's Fly But IS ALSO KNOWN AS A BUSTAAA!!! i think like ravenstan pre!rm boys were just kind of weirdly obsessed w/ her and trying to ask for her hand in marriage all the time like belle from beauty in the beast and she was like ahhhh hell nah KHDSLd.
also, working at the inn she has to deal with tHE MOST ANNOYING FUCKING MEN IN THE WOOOOORLD!!! they are like "you! tavern wench! fetch me some ale!" and she's like pls go fuck yourself but she's also So Nice like all my stans so she's like...Of Course, Sir.
maaaan, W!H!A!C!K!
i think like knights and stuff come and go staying at the inn and she's just like...sigh...that's so fucking COOL, wish that were me! LAME!!! like she literally is not allowed to fight bc SHES A GIRL!!! SO WHACK! she does have dreams abt it...like she does abt women and temptations of the flesh...stas...whack off or something, my GOD!!! nasty girl behavior, i am fucking crying, i love girl failure stas. Based.
i think she secretly kind of works down at the forge with tolkiens dad, btw, i think tolkiens name is...tolkien...blacksmith? lol so much guys. also !~ala pep~ they do still have a crazy rivalry...love my life. i think there is DRAMA during the Challenge Of Champions abt kylie. WHO STAS DOES NOT LIKE RIGHT AWAY BUT I DIGRESS!!!
so stas helps down at the forge bc she thinks swords are so cool. like she is obsessed and i think she makes a lot of armor and swords and stuff but she's not allowed to use them, obvi...and just has to hand them off to idiot men who should Go Die In A War lmaoooo!!! and it sucks so bad...her handiwork is beautiful, btw. i think she's made some shit that ended up at the broflovski castle they just Don't Know.
i am...talking abt this too much when i tell you i got Really Into It. so the RUFFIANS show up and they're abt to kill stas’ family but they give stas One More Day to come up with the money so she rides off ON SPARKY!!!! I LOVE YOU HORSE SPARKY!!!! to the disgraced high wizards castle who obviously...thinks stas is fucking pathetic and is like i quite literally do not give a fuck...ur whole family can choke? and is going to kill her but then...realizes stas is EXTREMELY GIFTED with the sword and is like...hm...i can use you. ;))))) lmao and stas basically has no choice bc if not they will literally slaughter her fam.
soooooo stas basically she ends up enrolled in the Challenge Of Champions which is literally so fucked??? like everyone is about to die, if i end up writing the fic, it's gonna be BRUTAL and very bloody and horrifying, just fyi, so sorry. also stas cuts her hair hella short to pass as a boy and there is a very iconique mulan-esqe montage of her stealing her dads clothes and kissing sharon on the head and riding off to an uncertain fate...leaves a crytic note or no warning? its very depressing stas...loves sharon so bad, she misses her mom. :(((
also i think when she rolls up and is in the camp w/ all the other challenge of champion competitors and contestants, they are like...so what is ur name and shes abOUT TO SAY STAS BC SHES SO FUCKING STUPID LOL I HATE MY LIFE and is like st---aaaaaan??? LOLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! and does the medieval version of the nervous bisexual finger gun jazz hand combo i am in PAIN. and they are like...okay? i guess? weirdo? they do think stas is so weird that whole time, she does have a lot to prove AND SHE DOES BITCH!!!! they respect the hell out of her later bc she is WIPING THE COMP, BABY!
which, speaking of stas passing as a boy...i actually do not think she is trans like ravenstan is? i think she is just Really Masc? and likes a lot of traditionally masculine activities and having short hair and doesn't reject the idea of being a woman but thinks its stupid that She personally gets rejected and is not allowed to do things she likes because they reserved exclusively for Men! stas vs. the patriarchy! listen i think raven would fuck w/ stas so heavy she would Scare Him though, like she is Powerful for a human.
i do think she is lowkey ripped like....HEEEELLLOOOOO???
kylie get ur jaw off the floor bestie!!!! STAND UP!!!!
running joke in tkak, i think, that everyone is like...squints...u know u are...like very beautiful for a man? you are kind of the most beautiful man i've ever seen like you are honestly pretty enough to be a girl? and she's like...ahsshahhaa thank you? my mom does tell me i'm kind of like having a boy daughter sometimes...ALSO THAT MADE HER SO DEPRESSED BC SHE WAS THINKIN ABOUT SHARON AND SHE WAS LIKE WHAT FUCK I HATE IT HERE bc i think sharon thinks shes dead or something bc she rode off & just disappeared completely?
okay, moving onto kylie...i am OBSESSED with her also!!! i got a little less on her, but stas is kind of the protag rn so it makes sense? but so when i was developing tkak At First, i gave ky...Reeeeally Long Hair bc i am obsessed w giving kyle really beautiful curly long hair ( jersey my beloved please kiss me on the lips ). she also ONLY has her hair up like for most of the fanfic? in REALLY ELABORATE hairdos?
like the handmaidens do her hair every morning and put that shit up and it does take forever which is suuuuch a pain in the ass ( yes kylie do be dummy thicc like actual kyle...i actually do not think stas has to bind tbh bc shes always in the armor and the really flowy tunic and riding pants and the boots w the short ass hair ( WHEN I TELL YOU SHE IS FINE I MEAN THAT LIKE PPL DIED!!! LITERALLY!!!! )
...she also has zero boobs i gave stan no ass and i think its only fair that stas has zero boobage...but when i tell you...oh my goodness oh my damn...kylie in the corset thing w her biddies pushed up to heaven...stas is abt to throw up constantLY!!!! DOOOOOWN SO HORRENDOUS LIKE PLEASE GO TO HELL!!!!! sooo funny. i have been laughing typing this whole goddamn ask meme, i'm screaming!
stas lying awake at night in a cold sweat bc Women...jaaaaaaail smh.
speaking of women, kylie is like 100% a lesbian like it just tracks bc all my kyles are super mega gay. people don't know about it, they only know that she hasn't taken a husband yet and that her dad keeps trying to set her up with these stupid ass idiot men from other kingdoms and she quite literally drives them away bc shes so SCARY. all my kyles are so scary, kylie is no exception like they call her the tempest bc she is literally so frightening. men run away screaming.
tbh gerald is so serious about her being princessy and hidden away in the castle...when i was developing tkak again and i gave ky the long hair and gerald was constantly having it put up with no exceptions like she is not allowed to be seen by anyone w her hair down? and i was like is it bc kyle...just has long hair and is kind of a little femme? idk? but LISTEN IT ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME NOW BECAUSE ITS ACTUALLY BC GERALD THINKS KYLES MERIDA HAIR IS UNBECOMING OF A WOMAN AND HES A MOTHERFUCKER AND MAKES HER CONFORM THE STANDARDS OF BEING REFINED.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! IS ANYONE ELSE SCREAMING???
oof...the day stas sees kylie w/ her hair down...the homoeroticy...its gonna be so crazy, the tension is going to be so intense omg.
okAY SPEAKING OF THE TOXIC YURI TSOT STYLE...they do hate eachother. kylie specifically hates humans bc sheila is dead in tkak..smh...she was also killed by humans...so kylie HATES humans. she is also really spoiled and coddled and Baby. and stas is tough and worked for everything in her life and is hard as a motherfucker i love you so bad stas...she's so cooooooolll!!! but yeah they bicker a lot. btw...kylie is short in the ncu tsot and stas is tall like i think there is a whole dialogue where stas is like i just never thought that the princess of all kingdoms who possesses all that power would be soooo....and kylie is like? enchanting? radiant? ravishing? beautiful? and shes like...Little. KHDLKHDSLK LOOOOOL IM CRYING HELP.
i am talking so much i'm so sorry guys but i said the tsot toxic yuri was like mulan and it so is...its also like Tangled, which are the two best disney movies which fuck you so much disney! free palestine!
but i digress again and i will explain myself because you know how i am; i do not put anything out unless i feel strongly about it. so kylie does not want to engage in ~Princessy Stuff~ mostly bc its whack and she is not trying to belong to a man like Property? but its also because...She Wants To Be A Doctor. <3333
i was thinking too hard about ship in a bottle kyle being the ships sawbones and pep kyle ripping stans throat open to save his life and i was like...doctor!kylie! but obvi...its very frowned upon...women cannot be doctors...Princesses Cannot Be Doctors. she also is nooot allowed to leave the palace bc of sheilas assassination, aaaaalso bc shes a woman...are we sensing a theme here? men suck.
but okay, so stas passes pretty well for a man...also her voice is really raspy and husky WHEEEW ONE CHANCE STAS!!! but obvi when kylie finds out stas is a girl, she says something funny like By Gods! By All The Seven Hells You Are Woman! and stas is like oooooooooofffffffff!!! pleeeease don't send me to the gallows i can explain ( she cannot explain she is supposed to kill kylies dad ) but kylie is like...i will let you live...Human Girl...on one condition...( stas is like u have to be fucking shitting me bc like this is the second time this shit has happened to her...smh ) anYWASAYS!!! kylie is like on one condition...u sneak me past the palace walls and let me see the outside world.
aGAIN STAS HAS NO CHOICE so she's like...Sigh...okay. and i think they have a wizard friend in the castle who charms kylie to look like a boy ( respectfully my ladyship she is so Well Endowed in the chest area and very femme so she cannot pass as a boy like stas can...rip so sorry ) so she can sneak out and not get caught BUUUT!!! the magic only lasts so long so she has to be back like within the hour? stas takes kylie to kupa keep at some point and its...very cute. pls clap.
LAST THING THIS IS THE VERY LAST THING I SWEAR YOU GUYS! so it's called to kill a king bc stas is supposed to kill gerald and not kylie which...stas does avoid asking abt it later bc shes in love with her i hate my life...but its bc she cannot ascend the throne bc shes a girl. again, i hate everything. choke and die gerald. WHICH WITH ANY HOPE!!! HE WILL!!!! MAYHAPS! but cartman is like nahhh i do not rlly care abt killing her she's not a threat?
but then she IS A THREAT bc she's getting in the way of the assassination attempt and stealing the piece of the stick of truth cartman needs to be all powerful and evil so cartman is like just kidding ur gonna have to kill her bestie, she's pissing me off. so he has stas...SLOWLY POISON HER??? w/ some kind of mushroom concoction that goes in her daily tea? and kylie is like oh! thank u stanley...but i think she knows stan is stas at that point bc theyre friends mayhaps...BUT ITS SLOWLY MAKING HER SICK. which is hard to notice bc its really slow to avoid suspicion, kylie is also super chronically ill...she has some sort of Illness the whole fic that makes her kind of weak and frail even tho her mind is strong to mimic kyles diabetes in sp? BUT OOOOOOF I HATE MY LIFE EVERYTHING SUX.
anyways for the 7934709324 time! STYLE TOXIC YURI!!!!
what do we think gayng??? are we rocking w it? *sweats*
-uncle nina, who has to stop coming up w/ crazy au ideas
p.s. i might...accidentally misgender stas and kylie or use stan or kyle by accident when answering questions...if i get them...bc i'm so used to my styles being masculine and boys. so if y'all could be patient with me, i'd really appreciate it bc *stas vc* I Am Only Human.

If I'm gonna be honest, s3 ruined most of the characters and the show for me. I hate the fame plot, that they made EJ a bad bf, that they made the wildcats not be there for EJ at his worst (excepting Kourtney who was dealing with her anxiety pb and maybe Ash at the beginning with her pb, the others have no excuse for not offering to help EJ) which made them bad friends in my eyes (a real friend wouldn't abandon you at your worst), I hate how they made Ricky act once he started to have feelings for Gina (him flirting with her, trying to sing liaod with her, being mean to EJ bc of the jealousy and that slap wasn't a good look on Ricky especially since he wanted to slap EJ before he said the thing that upset Ricky), I hate how they ruined Portwell and made Gina not understand what he was going through (that didn't make any sense considering what she said in s1 when talking about the pressure her mother puts on her; I'm talking about this line about what her mother says: "If you're not no 1 at sth, it's not worth doing"), I don't like how they made Ashlyn ooc at the beginning of the season (she was too ooc) and I don't like what they did to Kourtney at the end (they turned her into a diva when she used to be one of the most down to earth ppl). Idk, but they changed so many things that it doesn't feel like the show I started watching. This is not what I signed up for... 
I feel you. I went through something similar. I think all seasons of the show had their highs and lows. S1 was the best one, but S2 and S3 had a more dramatic contrast between the highs and the lows. For me, S2 was weak plot-wise. And it was to be expected, they needed to meet deadlines in the middle of a pandemic. The biggest strength on S2 (and ik i might get hate anons for this but idc) was the character building. I've had anons say Gina is less like herself in S2, and S3 had balance and I'm not sure I agree. S3 was good plot-wise (mostly), and did a great job introducing the new setting and the new characters, but i think they neglected the most vital part of the show which are the characters. Some parts were good, some were bad, but i thought in S2 the good outweigh the bad, and in S3 the bad outweigh the good.
I think the focus should be what you just said, you hit the nail in the head. "I didn't sign up for this." Whether you agree or not that S3 is good, everyone has to admit that it is different. The plot, the setting, the characters, almost all parts of the show were changed.
Some people were really into the meta-ness of it, the fame plot, the new characters, all of it. Some people (like yourself) hated almost all the new stuff. S1 and S2 tried to be down to earth, "I don't take myself seriously", relatable seasons. It was a story of some theater kids with normal angsty teenage experiences. S3 changed that because it was theater kids in a theater camp doing a documentary with freaking CORBIN BLEU for Disney+, and some of the main cast was gone (Some without explanation *cough* big Red and Seb *cough* *cough*). And while you can debate whether those were good or bad changes, it's not the same show anymore. It stopped being a relatable, kids in high school, down to earth show because idk abt you but i sure haven't done a documentary with Corbin Bleu, that's not a relatable experience. It takes away what you signed up to watch, what attracted you to the show in the first place.
Some fans loved the changes and are sticking around, some others aren't and i think that's perfectly fine. No one should judge anyone else for not liking S3 (and consequently not wanting to watch S4) because it's so different.

okay so its literally like six hours later now, ive tried having two naps, ive had three cups of tea today, as much medicine as i can have, and the sickness has done nothing but get worse which is just so fun but the only reason i wasnt watching abaab is bc i was trying to sleep and that's just not happening so im continuing the episode now

oh, wouldya look at that. i was right.
im not happy about it. its freaking horrible. and its even worse that it happens every day in every single country and state and city and suburb and yet nothing is being done about it.

SHE HAD TO PUT UP WITH IT FOR THREE YEARS???
holy hell thats freaking disgusting
i hate this so much. not that they included this in the show, im really glad they included it because it's freaking disgusting and not talked about enough, especially in mainstream media and stuff. i just freaking hate that rape exists and people have to put up with it every single freaking day of their freaking lives, and NOTHING is happening to fix this freaking disgusting issue
this episode is a lot heavier than i was expecting and idk if anything im saying makes any sense because im too sick for this and the things that happened are making me even more sick

Tumblr media
as per usual, your hair is on fleek today, my friend
he's angry at laem, but his hair is perfection
Tumblr media
the perfect way to get someone to shut up: shove food in their mouth as fast as possible (im using this at some point) (also how the hell is his hair so pretty i love his hair too much. i think i always spend more time talking about jack's hair than i do talking about the actual episode)
gun's mother has such a sweet sounding voice but her words sting like poison, jeez
Tumblr media
OH HELL YES ITS THIS PART

side note: look at three and zo's knees pressed together gjfngjbhfgbh
Tumblr media

WHAT ARE THEY DOING WATCHING SIMM
wait so. bad buddy exists as a series inside the msp universe. simm exists as a series inside the abaab universe. what's next??
Tumblr media
the frame changed suddenly, kluen was looking down slightly earlier and now he's looking right in nuea's eyes (yes i had to include jack's hair in the screenshot, so what?)
Tumblr media
side note: i love all of jack's ear piercings (and his hair) so much
(ive now used all my 30 photos for this post so you just have to deal with that. on the bright side, the final photo was of jack's beautiful face and beautiful earrings and beautiful HAIR)
i love this friend group so much, theyre all just sitting in a circle in their gaming chairs supporting cher as much as possible in their own little ways and its so sweet and so happy and gfbhbrhgb
ignore your bfs phone calls only to show up at his house with food
AWWW, THE WAY HE JUST PULLS HIM INTO A WORRIED HUG AS SOON AS HIS HANDS ARE EMPTY- I LOVE THEMMMM
"promise me no matter what happens, we will fight it together" RGHBKRDFHGKRBDFHB
AWWWW TEHY KISSSSS
"(talking to himself) if your mum knows about this, she will hit you to death, cher" "know about what?" "she gave me only one heart and i gave it all to you" "youre as cheesy as i am" IM DYING WHAT THE HELL THEYRE SO SWEET
BRO CHILL
CALM DOWN
I DONT NEED TO SEE THIS
I MEAN LIKE GOOD FOR THEM
BUT WHY DO WE NEED SUCH A LONG SHOT OF GUN'S BARE ABS
theyre so soft with each other what the hell
"i just want to hear it from your mouth-" AND CHER CUTS HIM OFF WITH THE SOFTEST KISS EVER??? (well, not ever. no one can ever kiss as softly or lovingly as freaking akk, but that's neither here nor there) THAT ONE TINY MOMENT IS GONNA PLAY IN MY HEAD FOR AGES NOW OMG
keep the pants on please guys
oh thank goodness they finished the episode before it got to that, i appreciate that
anyway THAT WAS SO SWEET GBFHGBFHBHG
im desperately hoping that next episode will be mostly fluffy happiness bc i cant take much more of this seriousness, especially not if my sickness persists (which i really hope it doesnt, id love to be functioning this week)
um yeah. that was that. i hope you enjoyed that? sorry for all my ramblings about being sick, i just really hate being sick.
once again, i hope youre all safe and healthy, if you're not, i hope you can find a safe space and people you trust, please contact someone who can help you if you need it. i love you all, have a great week :]

I would like to give you more ☕️ on that admin of supposed 'fanpage' of Off and his current/ex gf (idk who cares).
They're a Gun solo/Gun X every man he breathes next to shipper. They used to have a stan page for Gun but deleted it because they got d*xxed (I mean, that's what you get for b*llying Off lol). They b*llied Off's sister and her kids due to which she ended up deleting her X account. They want Gun to leave the OG ship but also want Off to go after Gun and spend money for him ??? Like, make it make sense! They also comment bad stuff on every sponsored/branded IG posts that feature Off just to sabotage him. They have even given him and his mom ⚰️ thr**ts in the past. They st*lk all of Off's family members online. All of this, yet GMMTV hasn't taken any legal action yet. This one Gun solo's existence is the ultimate reason why I still believe that all Gun solos are the devil incarnate. 🥲 I mean, I know not all of his fans are bad, but SO much has happened over the years that I am just fiercely protective of Off now lol. Sorry not sorry. 🙅‍♀️
Tumblr media
... and now I'm truly upset 😬 I don't think I need to say that it's truly insane to me how far hate can go, especially in a case like this where they hate off for literally no fucking reason lol. it's also appalling bc offgun clearly care deeply for each other irl & want to keep working together, so even if you do hate off, why would you do something that is so clearly against what gun himself wants?? but I guess there's no rhyme & reason for it... the fact that gmmtv has never taken any action against them after what seems to be years of relentless harassment & while they've filed police reports and sued countless other harassers for their other artists is fucked up, and once again shows that they only care about off when it profits them... for years I've had this nightmare of off getting shot or attacked during a public event, and knowing this kind of person is out there freaks me out even more ☹️

Out of ALL the Scream movies; Scream 4 could have been on par with Scream had they kept the deleted scenes
Here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- The fountain scene that paid homeage to '96 and ACTUALLY made this teen group seem like friends and a true remake
- The killer copying kills and Dewey talking about Tatum. We hardly hear him ever talk about his little sister AND it would make the 'remake' argument make sense because this feels like another sequel in the franchise; not a remake like they claim
- The Crime scene that was by far one of the eeriest and one of the most realistic scenes in any Scream movie to show how brutal the kills really were
- The original opening kill where Marnie thinks Jenny is pranking her and Ghostface is standing in the hallway while they talk
- The very short scene of Robbie and Charlie setting up the barn. It was goofy and made them feel like people instead of only red herrings (Which will obviously make a suspect list harder...Why do you think Scream is so good? Because every single suspect feels human instead of just a one dimensional red herring shoe in.)
- Kirby talking to Charlie and Robbie in the hall because once again it makes Charlie less suspicious because 'Oh he's doing it to be cool and get the girl' not 'this freak is having a secret party for an unknown reason during a killing? Yep another Stu def the killer' IT FELT SO IMPORTANT! We never got a motive for the party and in this scene we kind of did
Now, I agree with them getting rid of the hospital scene with Trevor and Jill bc even tho I liked seeing Trevor's character fleshed out it made Jill look like the killer and her being the killer was one of the most shocking reveals that I would not want ruined by something as heavy handed as her getting angry at Trevor for reading Sidney's book. The one with her missing her phone felt off too. Or Gale and Dewey in the morning because not only did Gale's "Has she ever been to one of mine?😒🙄" over Dewey asking her to go to Sid's book signing makes me hate her BUT it was also pretty much a pointless scene that would've taken too much time. I'm on the fence about the alternate scene of Dewey figuring out it was Jill before Gale did because it makes sense with Gale still under anesthesia not being on her A game and would be a nice change for Dewey to be the one to figure it out BUT it feels more in character for Gale to figure it out first.
But at least half of those scenes should've been kept in!
Controversial but some scenes have to be scraped to keep those deleted ones so:
Ditch the Trevor and Robbie exchange with that cringy 'Rawr' thing he does it gives me secondhand embarrassment everytime, get rid of some of the scenes of Judy and Gale pointlessly beefing with each other over oblivious Dewey who's already married to Gale and faithful what is the point of it?? Especially as much as we see it like we get it Judy likes Dewey and thinks Gale's evil stop wasting film, shorten the long ass opening kill that imo is one of the worst opening kills and the kill within a kill within a kill thinh I'm sorry but I skip it everytime ESPECIALLY seeing the deleted scene and how much better it could've been, shorten Rebecca Walter's death to what it was in the deleted scene. Anything to keep these scenes IN THE FINAL PRODUCT WHAT THE HELL
And don't even get me started on the alternate ending that should have happened and the 'new final girl' theme we'd get in 5 with a Ghostface versus a Ghostface instead of what we got...AND IT WOULD HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE TO INCLUDE THESE SCENES BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL SCENE WOULDN'T HAVE EXISTED.
This movie could've been so great and here we are with one dimensional characters, plot holes that don't make sense, awkward scenes that weren't needed and a new cast that was 'meh' except for Kirby because of deleted scenes.

(1) Hermione annoys me most in PoA bc of how glaringly insensitive she is to Rons family pet. The narrative clearly favors her, as in shes right to hate the rat bc hes a criminal. But what freaking annoys me about all that is she wasnt even self inserting RIGHT to hate the rat. I know other "oh im so smart and righteous" self inserts and even if they are right all the time, the narrative shows that. In her place they would at least Sensed something was wrong with Scabbers in the first place,
(2) So that they could say they were right about him at the end. Did Hermione even suspect any thing weird about the rat that showed hes not who he is? No. She really just hated a rat for the sake of hating, not only with no regards for Ron and his family but also for NO reason. and the Narrative STILL praised her and treat her as "woe is me nobody believes me" . It drives me mad.
Honestly, no I rather Hermione didn't "sense" anything wrong. I like it, actually, that she was simply being a little madam that couldn't assume her responsibilities. It's okay that she wasn't right, or clairvoyant, or supremely observant. That's realistic and that makes her believable. She's not infailible or has these amazing instincts: she's just a kid that wants to skirt responsibilities because while she can be responsible about homework (=responsibilities given by a higher authority), she's not very great at being responsible about interpersonal problems (=responsibilities among her peers).
It illustrates Hermione's mild superiority complex and her issues with being perceived as "flawed". Hermione wants to be right, all the time. Which, yeah, is pretty normal when you're a kid, and on top of that a kid who made "giving the right answer" their entire life's mission (nope I don't relate to that what on Earth do you mean?).
I'm okay with Hermione not "sensing" anything wrong; if anything it would have been another Mary Sue thing. I'm glad Ron was the one who could point out that Crookshanks wasn't acting like a normal cat (which he wasn't, because he isn't a normal cat, though Rowling failed to clarify that in the book proper).
What I'm NOT okay with, is how the book kinda ruins the whole "Hermione was being a bad friend" thing by turning it around to Ron and Harry being bad friends to her by way of Hagrid Ex Machina. "Her cat acted as all cats do"... but none of the Hogwarts cats acted as Crookshanks did with Scabbers, so what's up with that?
Imagine Aragog let Harry and Ron be eaten by his kids. "He acted as giant spiders do"... but wouldn't Hagrid bear blame too, because he KNOWS how giant spiders act? That's the same thing here! Why is the book trying to make it seem like Hagrid has a point when he has that kind of history behind him?!
My biggest problem is how people will claim "Hermione was right about Scabbers". It's a shortcut to say "Hermione was right that Crookshanks didn't eat Scabbers", but it's a harmful shortcut. Hermione wasn't right in any way in that situation, she was maybe right about the specific fact that Scabbers wasn't eaten, but she was NOT right about it because she's especially smart or clairvoyant: she was prideful, she refused to accept blame for HER PET's actions, and it's only by complete coincidence (or should I say contrivance) that she ended up being ultimately correct about one specific aspect of the situation. That does NOT mean she was right about everything to do with the Scabbers situation. It's that kind of nuance that is lost when people claim "Hermione was right in POA".
