⭐️Radio Star⭐️ (part 2)

(Part one) (part three)

(TW: brief mentions of blood and Self-Harm)

Vickie was late. Very late. And Steve wasn’t one to jump to conclusions (okay, maybe he was) but he was pretty sure she wasn’t coming. Robin was slouched over in the chair, her head in her hands, the cat—which Eddie had come over to tell her it’s name (Ozzy) earlier—was curled up in her lap. Steve knew she was crying by the way her shoulders shook slightly and her fingers were all curled up, but he didn’t say anything because there were more people in the shop now and he didn’t want to embarrass her.

“This is just great,” She muttered, her voice strangled. “This is just fucking great.”

“Language.” Steve said back, and she looked all fuzzy now, making him have to squint hard to see her. He was getting worse, but he wasn’t going to admit that. Her head moved up and he opened his eyes again, looking away.

“Steve —“

“I’ll be fine in a few minutes, just—give me a second.” He whispered, standing up and grabbing onto the chair. He needed another drink.

There was a line this time, and he bumped into a few people on the way there, which made his insides twist into knots, because fuck, maybe Robin was right? Maybe he did need glasses, and he’d just have to suck it up and deal with it.

When he finally got to the front, everything was all just shapes and colors, and his ears were ringing, and fuck he felt dizzy, his head spinning. Everything was quiet and fuzzy, and there was someone in front of him talking, but it was quiet and distorted.

He placed his hands on the counter and felt himself slump over slightly, his breaths feeling heavy in his chest, quick and hard. There was a hand on his shoulder and he felt himself flinch away, but it was like he was floating outside of his body, looking down at himself, and all he could see were hazy blurry shapes. It was like he wasn’t ever there.

Then the hand was back and he leaned into it, despite himself, and the thing stuttered slightly, before he felt another one at his elbow, and he was being shuffled forward. “Robin?” He muttered, trying to lift his head up fully, but he felt like falling to the floor and just fucking melting. Why was there always something wrong with him?

The person said something back, but their hands were rough and their fingers were long and thin, and some parts felt cold and hard against him, so it probably wasn’t Robin. He felt the back of his knees bump into a chair and he sat down blindly, his eyes squeezed shut so that he would stop nearly throwing up from the spinning colors and lights. He nearly fell over sideways, but the hands hauled him back up and into the chair properly, and then there was another set of hands on him, softer and more gripping then the first pair. That was probably Robin. He felt bad for the other person—the poor stranger who had to help him stumble over to his table while he put all of his weight on them and barely moved his feet.

After a few moments of peace, Robin’s hands wrapped around him and his face pressed against her shoulder, her hair in his face. It smelled like the conditioner he used. That’s what he got for leaving it in the shower instead of putting it back in the cabinet.

“You used my shampoo,” He mumbled, trying to push himself away from her, because she really shouldn’t have to be dealing with this on top of feeling shitty about Vickie not showing, but she held him firmly against her chest and scoffed out a laugh, her voice more clear and recognizable since she was practically speaking into his ear.

“That’s what you’re worried about right now, Dingus?” She muttered, her fingers twisting and tugging anxiously at the hair on the back of his neck, and it was probably ruining the look—since he had spent an hour doing it, even though it wasn’t his date—but it was fine. As long as it stopped her from pinching bruises into her arms, he could deal with having slightly messed up hair—even if that thought made his skin crawl.

It took a while, but eventually the world stopped spinning, and maybe it was Robin’s constant panicked rambling that was helping ground him, as she went on and on about how this wasn’t really that bad compared to the time that a friend from when she was younger passed out at a basketball court and lost her vision and hearing for two weeks, and she still needs glasses and hearing aids even now, and—

“Robin,” He said, pushing himself up and rubbing his eyes, the room finally holding still long enough for him to focus on her face for a moment or two before he closed his eyes again. “I’m okay now. And I’m sorry that happened to Kayla, but I'm okay. It won’t happen to me.”

He hated hearing her talk like that, because that’s how she rambled when she was scared, and it reminded him of those hours sitting alone in the dark and bleeding, asking her to just talk to me to try and stop her from sobbing, because she was going to get dehydrated soon and he didn’t know the next time they were going to get water. Or food. And she did talk—about everything and anything. She told him that her favorite color was yellow, and that she really liked sharks, and that maybe if they ever got out and he still wanted to be friends he could drive her to her favorite aquarium in Indy—because she also confessed that she had never gotten her license—so that she could show him her favorite tank with the stingrays in it.

They hadn’t gone yet, but they had tried a few times. It always ended with one of them freaking out—because they were still kids, and not even grown-ass people are good at dealing with traumatic memories. Okay, they were both 20, but still. That was young. To young to have gone through the shit that they had fucking been through. They both had scars, and neither of them liked to talk about it. Even after two years of being told that they would “heal” over time, the marks were still there, white-hot and dark and dripping blood down their arms and their chests and their legs.

Sometimes Steve would re-open them, but he didn’t do that very much anymore—not after Robin had found out why he still bled, knew all along but just didn’t know how to ask, and had told him to let her know when he got that bad again.

“—eve? Steven?” Robin was tapping his cheek gently with her fingers. “Did you OD over there?” She was trying to make a joke, but there was concern in her voice.

“I’m…no, no. Just thinking,” He said, laughing lightly, but there was no humor behind it. “I’m alright.”

“You keep saying that, but you’re not. Don’t lie to me,” She whispered, taking his hand in hers and squeezing gently, the lone ring on her middle finger cold against him. Was that what he had felt? But then why did the hands feel so rough? Calloused? Maybe it was all in his head. Everything seemed to be, these days.

“I am. I’m okay, Bobby,” He lies again, looking around once he can finally see everything normally again. His eyes meet Eddie’s over the counter, who looks concerned, but drops the face once he notices Steve looking at him—just giving him a shrug and a blank expression before turning to smile at the young woman at the front of the counter who’s ordering.

Steve doesn’t know why that stings in his chest, but it does—something sharp and aching as he watched Eddie flirt with the girl. So he does that with all of his customers. It wasn’t a special thing. Not that he wanted it to be, of course, he totally doesn’t care about this.

He and Robin just sit there for a while, her fingers tracing lines over his palm as she talks quietly about something that he’s not really comprehending fully. She had told him he should rest for a bit so that he won’t crash the car when they drive home. She still hasn’t gotten her license yet.

After a half-an-hour, Robin was still talking, and Steve wanted nothing more than to just go home and sleep, even though it wasn’t really that late in the day yet, but then someone off to his side cleared his throat. Robin shut up and he looked over at—oh. Eddie.

“Hey.” Steve said, his voice breaking slightly from being quiet for so long, but he didn’t really feel embarrassed about it. He had a lot to be embarrassed about right now, really. His hair was a mess, and his eyes were tired and his skin was too pale with the scars on his arms poking out from underneath the sleeves of his shirt.

“Hey,” Eddie whispered back, looking down. “I just…how are you feeling?” He looked hesitant, and his cheeks were flushed.

“Fine,” Steve muttered, words short and clipped—like he was angry, but he wasn’t. “I’m fine. Sorry you had to see that. I’m just—tired.”

“Thanks,” Eddie mutters, almost absentmindedly, and Steve felt himself flinch slightly, because fuck, that was meant to be polite and not an actually fucking apology. Did Eddie really mind that much? Maybe Steve really was just a fucking inconvenience.

Eddie’s head snapped up and his cheeks went even more red. “Shit, I—sorry, sorry. It’s fine. It’s okay, I—you’re pretty light, so it really wasn’t any trouble,” He was rambling now, and as upset as Steve was in the moment, it was kind of adorable (fuck, he really needed to stop thinking shit like that). “Again, I—I tend to not think before I speak, so. Yeah.” His voice got quiet at the end, and he did really look apologetic about it, so Steve straightened up and shrugged, giving him a short, small smile.

“It’s fine, man. Don’t worry about it. I get it.” He glanced over at Robin, confused about the comment on him being light. Robin paused for a moment, and then gave him a confused look back, which he took to mean, why are you looking at me?

Steve sighed and looked back at Eddie. “We should go,” and then shot a pointed look at Robin, who shot him a mocking one back, looking slightly disappointed—for what, he wasn’t sure—and then helped him up. He could walk fine on his own, now, but she still hovered near him as he grabbed her green knit sweater with the little yellow star in the front that she must have taken off earlier.

Robin snatched it back from him and cradled it to her chest. “Don’t touch my stuff.”

Steve only rolled his eyes and said a quick goodbye to Eddie before walking out of the building as fast as he could without tripping or bumping into something. He was fumbling with the car keys when he heard Eddie tell Robin that they were welcome back any time, to which she replied, “Oh, yes, I will be coming back for Ozzy.” Before patting Eddie’s shoulder and following after Steve.

Once they were both in the car, he started it and sighed.

Robin was glaring out the window for the entire ride home, and Steve had no idea why. He turned the music on, and she slapped his hand away, turning it off again.

“Why didn’t you get his number?” She snapped, now glaring at him instead of off into space.

“Don’t know what you’re talking about, Robs. Just let me focus on driving.” He gripped the steering wheel tighter, his hands shaking slightly as he kept his eyes on the road. “I know you’re upset about Vickie, but you don’t have to take it out on me. We can watch that shark documentary you like when we get home and I’ll make you some tea, okay?”

“Fine,” she mumbled, ducking her head down slightly as she tried to pull her sweater over herself around the seatbelt. He ended up stopping on the side of the road so that she could unbuckle and do it before they kept driving home.

So who wants to take bets on when the rest of the volleyball team realized there were two Zees? Because my guess is never. Those idiots 100% just think Zee, First, and Salmon have some sort of polyamorous relationship going on—and there might be some dude named Sprite involved too

NICE ASS(K) WEEK IS UPON US!!! 🎉

Cee, my love!! I 💛 you, you’re always so sweet. I have a very important ASS(K) for you!

Tarlos has decided to go to Edinburgh for their honeymoon. What must they do? Where must they go? What’s it gonna be like?? Any places they have to see?

Oooh Lemon my dear I LOVE this Ass(k) because it allows me to think of my favourite things (Tarlos & my home).

Okay, so they’ve gone a bit crazy and decided to give up the Texas heat for the cold of bonnie Scotland and once they get over how COLD it actually is they settle in nicely. (After buying new shoes because you can’t really drive here and it’s on 7 (yes 7) hills)

Firstly they decide to take a nice stroll along Princes Street Gardens. The spring blossom is in the air and they’re clearing the jet lag.

Now, city is great if you like history and well, walking so they can take a stroll around the old town and soak up the atmosphere

If inner city living isn’t for them then they can check one of the many many villages that actually makes up Edinburgh (it’s a series of smaller villages merged together) its peaceful and Carlos (almost) doesn’t feel too homesick in the quiet.

A day of culture and eating ahead of them with hundreds of bookstores, bakeries, pubs, restaurants and shops. A lot of which are independent! TK has to buy a new hold-all for all the stuff he picks up.

If they decide to take a boat ride out then, they’re right on the sea for miles and they can say hey to some local friends (no TK can’t keep one)

If they’re unsure about their sea legs (I can’t see Carlos on a boat) then there’s lots of hikes in the city to take too

Ending the day by locking down their love by the sea

And they take a late night walk through one of the parks that offer night time light shows

And once they’ve had their fill of fresh air it’s to one of the many (many) nightclubs and bars that are here. Most of which are underground! Which makes both of them grimace at the potential fire risks but they relax into it.

—-

There concludes their day(?) tour and they obviously have booked to go up the highlands and they’ve gone ALL the museums and art galleries here (which are all free) and TK spent most of it face buried in a highland cow.

It rained - a lot and because if the cold Carlos went full mother hen on TK (not reliving that!)

I reckon they spend a whole day just in bed though …. To recover from all the walking ofc 😉

#thanks for the ask!#cee speaks #911 lonestar #tarlos #carlos reyes #tk strand #i am sorry for the quality of the photos. you’re only allowed 10 so I had to play tricks #however all photos except the first one were taken by me #so if you want to see a non blurry version hmu #I had so much more but I really need to do work #but thank you so so much #i had a great time

Seriously though, mad props to the stunt coordinator(s) for OPLA. The fights felt so organic! They didn’t feel like the ultra-staged, rhythm-hitting fights of most kung-fu movies (not that those aren’t bad things! It was just really good to see fights that felt more real) - there were stakes and energy to the fights that made them absolutely captivating. The swordplay was so fricking good. Sanji’s kick-fighting was dope as hell. I think they used the wire work very judiciously. Great job to the whole team!

#OPLA #i had a great time

I now have to live with the knowledge that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is genuinely, unironically among my favourite movies so that's fun-

#don't get me wrong i will defend PPZ until my dying breath #i had a great time #but at the same time it's just #not a movie title you mention when someone asks you what your favourite movie is lmao #man I'm in awe at how well the movie works #pride and prejudice and zombies #jane austen #elizabeth bennet #mr darcy #lily james #sam riley #seth grahame smith #jess talks

Siegfried was a man...he was a...uh...DRAGON MAN.

And back from travels! Like last year, I thought I would open the new year with a detailed illustration of my GSSR roll. However I was struggling to come up with something, and I suddenly remembered something I really wanted to draw. I had a fun time drawing Trogdor and trying to emulate the style from the song!

For anyone who doesn’t know, here is the link to where this comes from.

#hareno's art #fgo #Fate Grand Order #Siegfried #sketch #fanart #I finally did it #TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR #idk how many people know of Trogdor the Burninator #but even so I needed to do this #for me #I had a great time

Winx Club (seasons 1-3) Rewatch thoughts:

the Trix having Knut work for them was kinda iconic

the Trix are giving boss bitch energy (only season 1)

Riven with Darcy would have been so much better if it would not have been a spell

also, what do you mean - "negative energy like the Prince of Darkness" tell us more! who is this Prince of Darkness?

magic for Riven? he could be Sorcerer of - idk to be honest i have no idea and i have been thinking about that a lot

i'm not a fan of Musa×Riven

Mirta is a baby and needs to be protected

"the witch who turns emotions into pictures"? - sounds like Witch/Fairy of Emotions would have been a better title for her

Diaspro had every right to be offended/feel attacked and defend herself

PUMPKIN

i ship Flora and Mirta

Stella and Brandon are perfect for each other!

the Pixies are kinda annoying but also not

i'm not a fan of Gloomix - would have been more interesting if Darkar gave them a piece of his magic - the Shadow Flame. kinda like Bloomix but also different

OMG Flora and Helia are SO CUTE

but i still prefer my idea of Flora and Mirta

Jared's pictures of Musa gave me serial-killer vibes - photographing her without her knowing and without him knowing her is not romantic!

don't be sad Layla! - they really want to be friends with you

i like Stelas humor a lot

still not into Musa×Riven

what was Darkars Plan again?

Sky had every right to be worried about Bloom, because it felt like she was a little too much into Avalon

the Charmix-bags seem impracticable

Dark Bloom is HOT

MegaTrix are a weird idea but i'm here for it

of course ICY doesn't freece in Omega - is everyone stupid?

hello Valtor

tell me, what are Chimeras powers? Fairy of - i hava no idea what could be fitting

Musa looks good with long hair but the short hair suited her better

Stella and Brandon are still perfect for each other!

Stellas dogs recognizing her made me happy

Diaspro should be over Sky - he's not worth it and she deserves better

Enchantix is giving everything! and i'm not even a fan of the gloves and those "shoes"

what do you mean "final transformation"? there are like X more seasons to come

every other transformation after that should be not as strong as Enchantix - except for the part they need them for, that part can be stronger

Tecna saves the day - we stan her!

still not a fan of Musa×Riven

but Tecna and Timmy are the cutest!

and i'm slowly falling in love with Musa×Layla

Diaspro as a fourth Trix, huh? i'm into that idea! but i also like that she is an "evil" fairy

why are the Trix so into Valtor? like one of them would be ok. but all three of them being into a guy that much older than them...

lol, GIGANTIC Pixies

why are they only worried about Bloom when Tecna is still in Omega?

of course Bloom gets her Enchantix through pure force of will *eyeroll*

redesign idea for "incomplete Enchantix": the Magic Winx wings instead of the Enchantix ones and the Charmix brooch instead of the fairy dust bottle(?) - it should be visible that something's off about her Enchantix

Timmy is the cutest!

of course Bloom and Sky find Tecna right after arriving *eyeroll*

GIANT ICE SNAKE

Ophir - stop stalking!

i would have preferred Layla and Nabu as friends

i'd still be here for Musa×Layla and don't care a second about Musa×Riven

since when are the Trix so useless? are they really only thinking about Valtor? embarassing

Bollm: STAY AWAY FROM THE WATERSTARS!

why did she even get one? it should have been either only Stella, Musa and Tecna each have one or Flora and Layla should have gone through the labyrinth too - but definitely no waterstar for Bloom!

why did he give them "Disenchantix" that late and why are they only like bikinis?

why is Icy head over heels into Monster!Valtor?

the Trix abandoning Valtor should have happened way earlier

final thoughts: Winx Club could have ended after season 3 (maybe after the movie would have been okay too) and i would be completely fine with it. maybe add a spin-off after that. about the Earth Fairies, Fairy Hunters, Roxy and Selina. But now i'm only talking about my au again - sorry!

i don't know if i will watch season 4, but i will at least start it after rewatching the movie.

#i had a great time #and you already see some ideas for my au #winx club rewatch #winx rewatch
