‘Tis officially prom season in the US and I’ve been thinking about how that would go for Steve and Eddie and their daughters.
Steve might have managed to use his chronic migraines to weasel his way out of trips to the mall for the girls’ entire lives, but he suddenly finds himself conveniently immune when the girls ask him to run point on their prom dress-shopping crusade.
In the end, the most difficult out of their three daughters was Moe by a mile. Over time, Steve had gathered that all the dressing up surrounding formal events was a rare source of insecurity for Moe. She managed to avoid her junior prom (even though Steve knew she wanted to go, and she’d moped around the house that entire night). When her senior prom rolled around, Eddie and Steve conspired with Moe’s best friend Gray to make sure that Moe actually went this time.
That was when Steve got roped into dress-shopping with Moe, which didn’t see a strong start to begin with and ended in a total meltdown on Moe’s part about how much she hates dresses.
“So don’t wear a dress!” Steve told her from outside the fitting room, “Moe – nothing about this is that serious. If you hate dresses, wear a suit. Wear your damn basketball uniform. It doesn’t matter. What matters is you go and you have fun or whatever. Gray really wants to go, and you and I both know that Gray isn’t gonna go if you don’t.”
Apparently, that was the right thing to say, and Moe ends up wearing something along the lines of this (the tie is Steve’s, the lapel pin on the pocket is one of Eddie’s).
Robbie surprised Steve by actually being excited about prom. She’s not usually into that kind of thing (especially when it’s school-sanctioned), but she’s got all of Eddie’s flair for dramatics so maybe it actually kind of makes sense. She went into dress-shopping with a vision (“I’m thinking Kate Winslet’s red dress in Titanic meets Bride of Frankenstein” which, frankly, Steve didn’t think was possible) but she’s Robbie, so she had enough blind determination to pull it off. It takes twenty-two grueling hours over the span of two weekends, but she pulls it off.
Imagine a combination of this and this and that’s what Robbie finds (she also says, “It’s kinda vintage, right?” which kills Steve a little bit because, sure, maybe it’s similar to Erica’s prom dress in ‘93 – but since the hell when were the nineties vintage?)
Out of the three, Hazel was the one who looked forward to prom the most, especially after watching her sisters get to go for years, and she’s also the “girliest” (objectively speaking) – she loves makeup and pretty things and dressing up nice, so she was over-the-moon when it was finally her turn.
Steve went into dress-shopping with Hazel prepared for a long and painful battle just like he’d done with the other two, but then Hazel ends up falling in love with one of the first dresses she tries on, and suddenly Steve is like, “Wait-wait-wait, that’s it??? It’s over”. He definitely doesn’t appreciate the wake-up call that his littlest girl is practically all grown up.
Hazel is also the only one who goes to both her junior prom and her senior prom. She wears something like this to her junior prom and this to her senior prom, and Steve is a total mess both times.

My Dad grew up in the 80s and took major offense to the results of one of these polls
(He didn't vote, so he doesn't get to complain about the results, but I told him I would conduct this survey to prove it isn't a fluke)

Do you think cass would rip the red bat symbol off from red hood?
I mean, he got a new symbol, but, like, if he still had the bat symbol. So cass vs jason and it ended with her just ripping that shit up bcs even if she's aware its a mock symbol of the bat and that jason has his own way of doing vigilantism that differs from the rest of the bat affiliates, she would still do it just because she cares about what the symbol meant.
Tbh i just wanna see cass beat up jason bcs why not.

I got a BNHA fic about the OC who worked in a coffee shop and joined the Resistance, but there are three other BNHA fics right now
This one also takes place during the Resistance, but joining Kudo's cause was not exactly willingly
Featuring:
Bruce concussing the new recruit prospect upon first meeting
"You're - annoying!"
WHACK!!!
Kudo is no better with his knife
His hand was pushed back by a small knife nailing his hand to the wall, flung too fast to be humanly possible.
"GAH!!!"
"Your bedside manners are appalling," Bruce snarked, getting up from his chair.
"Shut up."
Bruce's Christmas gift is knowing the recruit is barely an adult
".. It's too sweet."
"Yeah, but you're a kid. You should be drinking sugary sodas and getting in trouble at school."
"How old do you think I am?"
"I was a university student, and you're younger than me," Bruce shot back without heat. "Not even 21, by my guess."
"I'm 19. I was studying to be an optician until Japan went to shit."
"Oh my god you're a fetus."
Bruce now bullies him even more (affectionate)
"Ah, Ray-kun- or would you prefer Ray-chan? Ray-tan?"
"I will shank you."
"With what? A plastic knife from a Playdoh set?"
Feeling like the only person here who's trying to take things seriously
"We're taking him with us."
Ray squinted at Leader. Then at the skinny white-haired man they just found inside the vault. Then at Leader again. Then at the tall, skinny shadow of a man.
"... Why?" he finally croaked. "He's our enemy."
"Overruled."
"Wha- Leader!!"
Bruce put a hand on his shoulder from behind him. "Give it up, Ray-kun."
"Bruce-"
"Leader's got a crush," he said blandly, recognizing the signs immediately and already folding. "Let the man have his summer romance. We literally cannot change his mind right now."
"A summer ro- LEADER!!!!"
Having his Meta Ability be a pain even after death (thanks AFO)
"Third-senpai," En began, "if you passed on One For All to whoever owned that Quirk, and they were here right now, I'd punch them."
"Choke 'em out," Banjo confirmed.
"Cry," Shinomori decided.
"Castrate them," Nana muttered stormily, a glare on her face to match.
A big pain.
"... Hey, Leader."
"What is it, Third."
"Am I going crazy or do the High-Ends have Ray-kun's eyes?"
Second took one look at the haunting eyes that ran up the back of one High-End and summarily went, "Shit."
Shinomori screamed.
"Uh-oh."
Banjo laughed. "Well, it was nice knowing you guys!"
En started crying.
