The "Robin would never date Steve's ex who broke his heart" take is FUCKING stupid for a lot of reasons.

First of off, the autonomy you're taking out of Robin with this.

Like she's not Steve's sidekick, she's not his yes man, she's an indepent girl who should be free to date any girl she wants.

She would never let her friendship with him ostacolate her love life.

Why the fuck she should do that?!

No one would.

And also, Steve is actually the one who hurt Nancy the most (slut Nancy Wheeler).

And if you think for a second that Robin would ever take Steve's side, then you're wrong.

Just stop centering everything around Steve, and stop reducing Robin to be just his sidekick, 'cause she's FUCKING not.

Hi! So. Pretty sure you found the most recent post I made (on April 6th) tagged anti rnce (and ONLY anti rnce. Not even stranger things. Just anti rnce and my personal original text post tag and a quip about choosing violence. So clearly if that’s how you got here you chose to not just send a post you disagreed with to your friends to rant about but came into my inbox and tried to start shit)And if you didn’t I truly don’t get how you, clearly a rnce fan, found me.

I’m going to be honest. Neither of us are going to change each other’s minds. I don’t like rnce for a lot of reasons, from i just don’t see a romantic spark there to a lot of the shippers being kinda shitty. I don’t care what you ship, really, just that. Claiming it’s canon or should be canon endgame etc gets annoying. And that a lot of the times the way I’ve seen the relationship portrayed (because, contrary to possibly popular belief, I have actually tried to read some fics for them. It’s also such a commonly untagged side or background pairing that I am subjected to it like that often as well) there’s so often weird terf or radfem red flags and alarm bells going off. I’ve seen someone harassed by rnce shippers for calling them out and then those shippers loudly regurgitating terf talking points like it’s fucking funny. I know all fandoms and ships have bad eggs but holy shit.

There’s been a few posts about how for some reason rnce fans try to portray people who don’t like it as making Robin Steve’s sidekick, when really we are acknowledging the facets of her characterization other than her lesbianism. Just because she likes girls doesn’t mean that’s the only thing that matters to her!

Yes, Robin liking girls is part of who she is, it influences how she acts and what she talks about, but it’s not the ONLY thing about her. She likes old movies, she enjoys pop and new wave music, she does her make up in her best friend’s car, she forgot to mention she never learned to drive because he forgot to ask if she could, she thinks combining into a super being with said best friend would possibly solve most of their problems.

Robin is a character who makes her own choices! She chooses to butt in at scoops, chooses to stay with Steve in the bunker to hold off the Russians, chooses to tell him her deepest secret, chooses to apply for jobs with Steve once they heal from the mall, chooses to spend a lot of time with him! And that’s rad. It gives us insight on who she is!

Whenever I’ve written or talked about Robin choosing not to date Nancy, I’ve always made it perfectly clear that it is Robin’s choice. Because given what we see of her in two seasons, Robin is loyal, and greatly values her friendship with Steve. Like. Regardless of how Steve feels about it, and I do think of Robin was legitimately interested in Nancy and Steve thought she had a chance, he’d encourage her to go for it. (Steve isn’t blindly encouraging Robin to hit on Vickie. He has high suspicions that Vickie is queer in some way too! She likes boobies!) I think Robin would think twice about it just because how much she encouraged stancy to get back together in s4.

Honestly, it makes me sad seeing how many times “why would robin choose her best friend’s feelings over getting a gf” is said because like. I value my friends’ feelings all the time. If I thought something I was doing was or would hurt them, I would reevaluate. Why WOULDNT Robin consider her best friend’s feelings? The first person she ever came out to? Who made her feel safe and accepted? Who made her laugh when she felt most vulnerable? Who she encouraged to get back with his ex? Romance is not a level up from friendship, it is not the endgame of life, it is not superior to any other relationship type. Treating friendships as less important to romance is something to reconsider and reevaluate.

Your last point. Anon, who is centring Steve now? Sure. He fucked up in s1. Literally no one denies that. He fucked up and he worked to make things right. He cleaned up the graffiti, he went to apologize to Jonathan, and he presumably apologized to Nancy, because she decided to date him for eleven months after that. I highly doubt there wasn’t heavy gossip about the graffiti or their breakup/makeup. I do agree that before Tina’s party Steve wasn’t helping Nancy as much as he could have, but Nancy wasn’t communicating to him either. They weren’t in the right place for each other. If we consider the alley the breakup, how is that not still breaking his heart? Yes Nancy was on a noble crusade, but it still had collateral damage. It’s something interesting about her character!

Robin wouldn’t be on board with the graffiti. But like. Steve’s changed and apologized since then. And She wasn’t there? She’s just here for the aftermath of Steve’s reignited feelings for Nancy. Idk. Both Steve and Nancy hurt each other in s1/2. It’s not a Steve v Nancy thing? It’s just an acknowledgment that of the two, Robin is closer to Steve. She’s more likely to consider him. She’s not omniscient to everything that happened or the persons feelings and reasons for doing it.

I’m sorry you don’t think friendship has an equal or greater value than some romantic relationship, it must suck. I also hope you find better things to do than to come to someone’s inbox and try to start something over a ship you like that they don’t.

#anti ronance #I censored it in my answer but anon didn’t so it might show up in the search #but not in the tag #findaanswers #listen. just get out of here #if you think I’m a stupid idiot then block and move on #but you clearly came here from somewhere looking at stuff to be mad at because I always make sure to tag #also everyone ignores that Steve has CURRENT FEELINGS for Nancy that ROBIN ENCOURAGED

No Petname

a/n: i didn't want to not post anything this week so i write a little thing.

*not my GIF* (she's badass like this.Marvel bring us back our queen!!)

Natasha Romanoff x Yelena Belova x Sister!Reader; Kate Bishop x Little!Widow

summary: (i watched a lot of couple video on youtube) R prank her girlfriend because she's bored

Type: Fluff

Warning: nothing

word count: ~1257

---------

The recent week was boring in the tower; you couldn't go on a mission because you got hurt on your last mission, so after an hour on your phone, you think about something. Ten minutes later, you were in Yelena's bedroom.

"So, you want to prank your girlfriend because you're bored?" your sister asked, and you nodded. "Let's go I'm in." she said. That's why you liked Yelena; she was always ready to prank anyone, and even if she liked Kate, the brunette was clearly her favorite target. "So, what did you plan?" she asked, and you smirked.

"She should come back tonight with Clint. We don't have time to set up a big thing, so I'll try to upset her by calling her by her full name." you said, and the blonde frowned her eyebrow. "She doesn’t like when someone calls her Katherine; we will see how long she could handle this." you explained, and your sister smirked. She didn't think about something so obvious.

Later this day, you were with Yelena on the couch, watching a movie with the other Avengers in the tower, when Friday told you that Kate, your girlfriend, was back from her mission with Clint. When she came in the living room, she greeted everyone and made her way next to you.

"Hey babe, I miss you." she said before she kissed your cheek. You kissed her back, and when she started to feel at home, you shocked her.

"Hey Kate, how was your mission?" you asked her, and she frowned her eyebrow. You have stopped calling her Kate since you started dating.

"Uh, well. It was more easy than they thought." she replied. Nobody said anything more, and you just finished the movie. It was still early, so Sam decided to watch another movie, and you all agreed. But before that, you wanted some snacks, so you stood up, but you didn't miss asking your girlfriend if she wanted something.

"Katherine I will grab snacks; do you want something?" you asked, and all the noises instantly disappeared. You didn't see it, but the guys started to feel uncomfortable, but Yelena and Tony smirked.

"Uh. Just a soda, thanks." she replied, and you nodded before leaving, and your blonde sister followed you. When you were in the kitchen, your girlfriend looked at Natasha. "Did I do something to her?" she asked, and your older sister was also surprised.

"I was about to ask you the same thing." the redhead said.

In the kitchen, you were packing some snacks with the help of Yelena, but she couldn't help but laugh. "You should see her face." she said, and you smirked.

"Okay, it was funny, but I don't like to see her like that." you said. "I'll make up tonight." you added, and the Russian nodded. You quickly returned to the living room and took your seat next to your favorite black-haired person after you placed the snacks on the coffee table. "And a soda for my Katherine." you said, holding her soda can. The rest of the night went well. Kate thought you just had a bad day, but tomorrow you'll be right, no?

Unfortunately, no. When she woke up, you were running your hand through her hair. "I just woke up, and you want to make me sleep again." she joked, and you smiled. You gently kissed her, and she smiled like a teenager. She loved it when you kissed her; that meant a lot to you because of your past, but the morning kiss was her favorite. There was no one there, just you two.

"Good morning, Katherine." you whispered with a strong morning accent, and you almost laughed when she frowned her eyebrows. She wanted to talk, but she was interrupted by knocks on the door.

"Y/n, I need a new partner for this morning!!" Yelena yelled.

"Duty call," you said, and after 30 minutes, you were out with your sister. Kate started to be pissed off, and you didn't really calm her down because you called her 'Katherine' during the entire week. The next Monday, she started to feel overwhelmed. She was in the kitchen with your two sisters when you showed up, you kissed her cheek like always, and you greeted your sisters. You ate some of Yelena's mac and cheese, and you decide to ask a favor to your girlfriend. "Katherine, can you give me a water bottle, please?" you asked with your puppy's eyes, but she just glared at you.

"It's not the right name," she mumbled, and you knew she was angry, but you didn't want to end this now.

"The last time I checked, you were Katherine Bishop. So, Katherine Elizabeth Bishop, can you give me a water bottle, please?" you repeated, and she smacked her hand on the kitchen counter.

"Who is Katherine Elizabeth Bishop?" she asked, visibly pissed off.

"It's yo-" you tried to say, but you were cut off.

"No, it's not me. Katherine Bishop is gone!" she said loudly, and Yelena used all her strength to suppress her laughs. "For everyone, it's Kate! For Yelena, it's Kate Bishop! For Nat, it's little hawk! For Alexei, it's Little American. For Melina, it's Y/n's girlfriend! But for you, Y/n Vostokoff, it's Katie, babe, baby, moya lyubov'(my love), hot stuff, printsessa(princess), milaya devushka(cutie girl), moya zhena(my wife) or the future mother of my children!" she exclaimed. "So, I repeat myself, who is Katherine Elizabeth Bishop?" she asked.

The kitchen was silent for a moment. It was really not her thing to raise her voice to you, she was always so lovely and caring. "Wow, Y/n you mess up." Nat said, and Yelena finally laughed. Their voices brought you back.

You quickly stood up and gave your girlfriend a tight hug. "I'm sorry, Katie baby; it was just a prank." you explained, and you chuckled. "If I knew you would be so upset, I would do that earlier." you joked, and she slammed your arm before escaping from your grip.

"I thought you were upset with me, dipshit." she said, and you gasped.

"Kate Bishop, my future sister-in-law, how you called her." Yelena said, and you chuckled.

"I'm sorry." you repeated. "I love you, moya lyubov'." You kissed her and melted when your lips connected with hers. "How could you forgive me?"

"Cuddle with me" she said immediately. "And you'll come with me to Lucky's walk later." she added, and you nodded.

A few hours later, you were in Central Park for Lucky's walk, your finger intertwined with Kate's. She was talking about her week, and something came to your mind, you stopped, and she looked confused.

"Did you mean it?" you asked, and when she showed you, she didn't understand what you were talking about, so you explained. "About being the mother of my children."

She smirked, "I don't mind, but before we have to do something." she said, and you smiled.

You spent the rest of the walk smiling to yourself. This night Kate was fast asleep on your chest, and you just ran your hand through her hair. You were thinking about everything, and you finally thought about something, or more precisely, someone. You looked at the sleeping girl and smiled. Yeah, one day she'll be your wife.

yandere ango headcanons?

Yandere Ango headcannons.

TW: Stalking , murder, yandere behaivour, kidnapping

☁︎. Ango's obssession with you started of cute maybe following you around with you knowing but then like everything on this blod got sicker and more twisted as time passed.

☁︎. I like to believe that Ango likes to stalk. And just like every other thing in his life he tends to commit and get results.

☁︎. Ango knows anything and everything about you. Your favourite colour, food, your height down to the last milimeter and your favourite shoes and outfit from how many times you've worn it. ☁︎. He probably has a notebook about you like Dazai has with Chuuya but more like notes about everything that you've ever mentioned or thought.

☁︎.He's also is great at hiding his yandere tendacies oh why does he know your recently deacesed friends name? Just a guess. And he killed them .

☁︎. He'll only kill someone if it's neccasary he prefers to simply eliminate them from your life they're not a problem if they're too scared of even looking at you funny.

☁︎. As mentioned in the start Ango likes to stalk but not just simply following you unlike most yanderes Ango has.. Connections. Some friends in the mafia who might be willing to do a side job for him or some record of you that they stole for no reason Ango definitly didn't put them up to it as well!

☁︎. He acts like an angel around you despite how many devious acts he's done simply because he's addicted to the way you smile at him. Oh you're hungry? Don't worry Ango'll take you out for lunch he's paying of course!

☁︎. If you met while he was working as spying on the port mafia he would've definitely gushed about you to Oda and Dazai more than he'd of liked to admit.

☁︎. If not then he would've talked to you about Mushitaro lol. ☁︎. Once he see's that they're catching onto what's happening he shuts up though.

☁︎. If he kidnaps you and he will he makes sure that you're comfortable this is your new home he wants you to feel like it though if you do decide to be a brat he won't be so kind..

☁︎. You like to have a nice comfortable bed well you should've thought about it before you decided to escape you'll be sleeping in the basement tonight and the next and the next until Ango thinks you've learned your lesson.

☁︎. Will take you to his office if your being good though he expects you to be quiet and not speak unless spoken to he can't have anyone suspecting him can we now ? ☁︎. I personally feel that Ango is a pretty bad yandere to have he's not the worst at least he's not like a certain suicidal maniac or a russian but he's hard to escape and constantly trying to learn evrything about you all in all his danger level would be a 5.5/10 . If you don't make him mad of course.....

#I need srs help in writing headcannons it takes me so long like what's wrong with me?? :<#Unrealted I ship MushiAngo so hard #yandere ango #yandere ango sakaguchi #yandere sakaguchi ango #yandere ango headcannons #yandere male #yandere bungo stray dogs x reader #yandere bungou stray dogs #yandere bsd #tw yandere #yandere #yandex #male yandere #yande.re

River Reads Midnight Sun

Chapter 2: Open Book

In which Edward faces his fears and spends an agonizing amount of time hyperfixating on Bella.

<-Chapter 1

So we jump into chapter two AND next week, as it has been six days since Edward (shockingly) succeeded in leaving town forever (citation needed)! He is chilling (ha) in a snowbank, staring up at the stars, which are truly magnificent. Or he knows they would be, except he can't quite see anything except Bella's face. Yes, the girl has haunted him straight to (checks location on a map) oh he's in ALASKA, okay! I wasn't sure where Denali was, but I was PRETTY sure even Edward couldn't drive a car to Russia. (You'll see why I considered Russia in a minute.)

Anyway, the "unremarkable" face of this girl he's literally never spoken to directly has been haunting him for six days, which is indeed troubling. While he is brooding on this, the thoughts of a new character come leaping towards him. This is where we meet Tanya, a vampire with silver skin, blonde-but-almost-pink curly hair, amber eyes, and full lips. Mary Sue Tanya is stunning and exquisite, at least from Ed's memory, since he still can't see past the face permanently branded on his eyeballs.

So anyway, Mary Sue Tanya does a cannonball into Ed's snowbank, burying him alive with snow but not burying the image of Bella. It becomes clear that she has been crushing on Ed and is sad he will be leaving soon and doesn't return her affections, although he is very polite and gentlemanly about it.

(Honestly, I liked her well enough until we got to the "I'm not used to rejection" line, and then she starts sifting through the memories of all her human male conquests next to the actual mind reader who she is attracted to, to which I say WOMAN REALLY??? I don't think making the guy you like EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE than he's already admitted you kinda make him is an effective way to gain his affections?!)

ANYWAY, thankfully they get off THAT subject quickly and have a really quite nice conversation, wherein Ed apologizes for getting her hopes up by coming to her home territory and Tanya tries to be a good friend. We see a mention of her "long-lost Russian accent," thus my uncertainty about location, and she tells him she knows he won't keep running from his mystery problem because he's the type who faces things head-on. Mary Sue TANYA then runs away across the snow, so light and fast she doesn't even leave footprints, suggesting a connection between vampires and wood elves.

Encouraged by this pep talk, Gary Stu Edward also gets up and runs footprintless across the snow, determined to be brave and go back and face those "bewildered chocolate-brown eyes," and hopefully not eat the girl attached to them.

SCENE CHANGE!

Edward's back in town, and his three vampire siblings/classmates are huddled around him as they head into the lunchroom, being quite adorably protective, honestly. Alice is trying to foresee any problematic eventualities, Jasper thinks it's funny that EDWARD is the one everyone's fretting over instead of him, Emmett is acting like a bodyguard, and Ed is just exasperated with all of them.

To his surprise, nobody at school is thinking about them, suggesting that Bella didn’t blab about his black murderstare from last chapter. After all, a normal human would have asked around about it, because humans and especially teens all like to feel NORMAL and FIT IN and be a "featureless flock of sheep" and WOW, should I be more annoyed at Ed or the author for this intense bias against high schoolers?! But of course Bella isn't like those OTHER kids, she doesn't do things like talk to people when something weird happens!

About this time, Bella walks in and Alice is all, "Act human!" To which Emmett responds by taking out the snowball he compressed into an ice chunk with his superstrength and chucking it at Alice, who casually deflects it across the room at superspeed, where it cracks a brick. This does, ironically, draw attention away from them. Everyone is annoyed at Emmett, which is fair, but also, ALICE COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST CAUGHT IT INSTEAD OF POTENTIALLY SHOOTING SOMEONE?

Ahem. So Bella's in the lunch line, and Mike Newton, Regular High School Guy And Insignificant Human Rival, is worried about her. Ed starts also worrying about if she might be sickly, what with her translucent skin. (Are we 100% sure BELLA is human?!) The vampires do a slightly better job of acting natural, and Edward decides to refer to Bella as “Bella” and not just "the girl,” "as if she were the only girl in the world," which is HILARIOUS considering where we all know this is going!

After eavesdropping on Bella and Jessica whispering about him looking at her (Bella thinks he's mad at her, after the whole murderstare incident), Bella hunkers under her hair and avoids eye contact, although Ed thinks she keeps twitching like she WANTS to look at him. Then, at long last, lunch ends and everyone starts going to class. There is another internal struggle while Ed reviews what all of his vampire family members have advised about this situation. (Emmett sounding the least helpful, as he has apparently encountered two such delicious-smelling-people incidents that... uh... sound like they did NOT go well?) But Ed is determined to prove to himself that he has the self-control to sit through biology without murdering Bella, so off he goes.

(By the way, Rosalie complains she doesn't want to have to move because they're almost finally out of high school. Again, why are you pretending to be high school students?! It's not like you'll age whether you're there or not?! HOW DOES THIS HELP YOUR COVER??)

Edward gets to Biology to find Bella at their table, doodling randomly. He decides to introduce himself. He gets briefly lost in gratuitously detailed descriptions of her eyeballs and how they are simultaneously like chocolate and strong tea, and how could anyone so frail be deserving of his unwarranted hatred last week? He's also holding his breath, but has enough air in his longs for a reasonably lengthy conversation AND a short laugh, during which Bella is... surprised/startled that he called her Bella? Because her dad introduced her to everyone as Isabella? But she's apparently told multiple people since she got here that she prefers Bella? So he probably could have learned that even without his super vampire eavesdropping powers? WHY is this weird enough to be suspicious, and HOW does it indicate she is intuitive?

Well, the book and Ed believe she is insightful and intuitive, so I guess we should just go with it. Ed does eventually needs to breath so he can talk, and even though just breathing through his mouth is like tasting the FIERY COALS of her deliciousness, and their brief moment of making skin contact is like an ELECTRIC SHOCK, he manages to continue acting normal.

By the way, along with being unconventionally if lopsidedly pretty and smelling delicious, Bella was also in advanced-placement biology at her previous school and Knows Science! Edward realizes this must mean she is ESPECIALLY intelligent for a human, which of course makes perfect sense. After all, she was the first student in two years to look him in the eye long enough to notice they'd changed from the Murderstare Incident's I'm-going-to-eat-you black to today's calmer I'm-probably-not-going-to-eat-you-except-by-accident amber/gold! My friends, may I remind you this man previously admitted he has two medical degrees, a thing that probably required some amount of physically attending college. I really wonder if Ed's standards would be more realistic if he ever once SOCIALIZED WITH HIS HUMAN CLASSMATES.

In an effort to maintain normalcy, they talk about the weather. Bella does not like the cold and wet of Forks. She clearly does not like being in Forks at all. She is vague and grumpy about why she came here, and Edward is so obsessed curious that he may implode (this is the actual word used). We learn (agonizingly slowly) that her mom remarried—and no, Edward, Bella DOES like the guy, he's nice and a minor-league baseball player; and no, Edward, her mom DIDN'T send her here, SHE sent HERSELF here so her mom could happily travel with her step-dad rather than unhappily stay home with her! Ed is certain by now that Bella "isn't like other humans" because he keeps guessing her story arcs wrong and she's just so CONFUSING and UNPREDICTABLE, and this can't possibly be because he's about 100 years out of practice having a normal conversation without a cheat code into the other person's brain.

(Okay, to be fair, there are at LEAST two moments of self-awareness where Ed wonders if he'd be this bad at reading everybody without his mindreading powers. We should give him points for that.)

But despite his difficulties, he DOES figure out that Bella is unhappy, mostly by her sending out signals that a rhino could decipher. When he confronts her with this observation, her response is, "So?" And after meditating on this for an unusually brief paragraph, Ed realizes THE ANSWER:

"She was selfless."

I'm sorry, guys, I need to break for a second, that's the first part that made me laugh out loud. Can someone lend me a combine to harvest all this corn.

(Side Note: As previously stated, I have not read the books or watched the movies, so I could be biased by the negative side of the fanbase. But my general impression of Bella has not lent itself to "selflessness." BUT, it is only chapter two and I am only going off of general hearsay! The amount of poorly concealed disgruntlement is not impressing me, though.)

Anyway, Ed guesses that she doesn't really like her situation but doesn't want people to KNOW she doesn't like it. He continues to marvel at how positively he feels towards this girl, how discerning she is, how *cough* selfless she is, not like an "average martyr" who would actually tell someone she's not 100% happy with her SACRIFICE. Bella gets annoyed, which Ed finds amusing, so there's another adjective for the list. But then she says she's annoyed because she's so easy to read, and Edward can't believe this, because he's never had to work so hard to read someone before! Again, this couldn't possibly be because she's the first person in 100+ years whose mind he can't read!

By the way, Bella also seems to be oblivious immune to the usual red flags normal humans feel around vampires! Ed tries smiling dangerously at her, but the teacher breaks up their conversation with actual classtime, so he gets to angst for a few paragraphs about why he shouldn't find this girl interesting and how dangerous this is for her and yet how MUCH he wants to know more about her. And also trying not to kill her when her thick, black hair flips in his direction and drives his vampire nose bananas.

He books it as soon as the bell rings, having survived the encounter without murdering anyone but with so many new questions about this unremarkable, shy, frail, unmindreadable-yet-highly-face-readable, delicious-smelling, selfless, quietly disgruntled human girl.

(Side Note: I have learned a new word!

"Attar—a fragrant essential oil, typically made from rose petals."

Ex: "Again, I gasped at the clean, wet air outside as though it was a healing attar."

*loud sighing noises*)

So after that brief break, he goes to class with Emmett. Emmett, IMMENSELY HELPFUL EMMETT, asks how it went, questions if it wouldn't be easier to just get it over with, reassures Ed that everyone would understand if he messed up (GIVING IN IS NOT THE SAME AS "MESSING UP," EMMETT), and then vividly visualizes a time he experienced a really good-smelling woman and ate her. Between his earlier blasé-ness about not "wallowing in guilt" over past mistakes and this section's lack of anything indicating regret about that incident, I take back any nice things I might have said about this guy. Emmett, YOU. ARE. THE WORST.

It's so bad that Ed has to bolt out of class AGAIN, although it doesn't help that Emmett follows him and continues to suggest maybe Ed should just get it over with if it's so bad, can Alice or somebody please come punch him. Ed finally gets him to leave and hides in his car. Then, "like an addict" (his own words), he searches the whole school for thoughts about Bella. From his car. My GUY, just how UNREASONABLY powerful ARE your mind radar skills???

He finally locates Bella in gym class, because Mike, who is mad about Ed talking to her, is thinking in logical, complete sentences (as one does) about how satisfied he is that Bella doesn't seem interested in Edward. He also conveniently remembers her asking "what was with" Edward last Monday (after the Deathstare Incident). So apparently Bella isn't QUITE abnormal unique enough to stay totally silent when she encounters a weird thing (not that Edward notices). Ed's response to his annoyance over Mike's satisfaction is to blast "violent music," which seems the opposite of helpful to me.

We end the chapter with Bella coming out of school and heading to her rusty old truck while Ed watches her creepily from his car. She almost hits another student's car when she locks eyes with him, and Ed has to laugh at her sudden increased driving vigilance, as if she might be DANGEROUS! Because of course it's RIDICULOUS to think that BELLA could be dangerous to ANYONE in ANY vehicle, as if the driver's physical frailty has any bearing on the damage a truck can do when crashing into cars or non-vampires at speed.

AND SCENE!

I'm gonna be honest, guys, that one was a couple degrees more agonizing than the first chapter. I dread how much more I'm going to hear about Ed's conflicting desires to eat Bella and be attracted to her simultaneously average yet fascinating allure. She's just so unusually unique and smart and intuitive and selfless and shy and frail and inspires protective instincts, you see, and she's not like ANY OTHER human he's ever encountered, even though we have evidence now that sometimes certain vampires just find certain humans irresistibly delicious, and we can probably extrapolate that those humans were somehow immune to vampire powers, too.

I also highly question Bella's above-average "martyrdom," considering she dropped her guard pretty fast around the cute stranger and basically broadcasted how unhappy she is with her decision, which makes it feel a bit like she did what she did so she could feel good about herself rather than because it was the best thing to do? Being selfless doesn't mean COMPLETELY ignoring your own needs, or justify using your good deed as an excuse to have a poor attitude. Of course, considering that half her traits that Ed notices and marvels over are actually fairly normal, I don't think any of us feel a strong need to trust his assessments of her character.

Next up is CHAPTER THREE: RISK. I'm sure it will feature Edward being very level-headed and undramatic. I think I need to build my endurance back up for this one. (And thanks for the likes and comments so far, they really help keep me motivated! =D)

just our special guy today because i’ve realized i have very complex thoughts about my main man’s polyglotism and the way i see it utilized in canon and in fan work from time to time. i will be rambling, i will be going off target, this is a promise SO LET'S GO!

so baseline, lupin was bilingual from almost birth, with the whole mixed upbringing and all. so we know that, from the start. french dad, japanese mom, you-- i mean it would be jarring to somehow not know a lick of either. I MEAN THEY GOTTA TALK TO THE BABY SOMEHOW

when he was about 4, the Horrors began. you can’t be much of an international thief only speaking two languages that are… really only primarily spoken in their countries of origin (canadian french is very different you know) so they started piling on more: spanish, italian, english, german, they tried cantonese too, but he had so much trouble with the tones that they dialed it down to mandarin, and he… still had trouble with the tones, because even as an adult that’s a LOT of voice control that he tends to lose when he’s overly happy or upset. so yeah it was hard for a FOUR year old to manage it

it’s kind of funny though; the first language he could really speak was japanese, and the language he usually defaults to, the language he THINKS in, is STILL japanese. all those language courses just for him to stick to ol’ reliable

however, certain words pop up in french first for him; usually numbers. by the time he was learning to count, his dad was more adamant about him speaking french more, so numbers (and colors) register as french in his head before he runs them through a little translator in his head and goes “TWENTY” at top volume. if somebody is describing a math problem to him in japanese, even though he’s most comfortable IN that language, he has to redo the whole thing in his head in french to really get his answer. yes, it’s miserable for him

the language he speaks SECOND most often is usually english, but more for a comedic beat than anything. ironically, lupin uses english the way some english speakers use french, in a way to be goofy and overdramatic about mundane shit. but also if you buy into the “jigen was born in america” thing then it just makes even MORE sense he’d be speaking it semi-often

the thing about his french is that while it’s still deeply ingrained into him, he… very rarely sees it come up in interactions. even when IN france, he sort of subconsciously removes his personal connection to it out of the picture. it’s like speaking portuguese in brazil, or speaking russian in, uh, russia. more of a needed skill than a part of HIM, really. in order to truly unlock his French Mode, he’d need to be around someone speaking french OUTSIDE of france, because, weird as it may sound, that’s just how he’s connected to it. and then he’d talk to them for a bit, start slipping into it naturally, and he might accidentally lock himself into it for an hour or so after they’re done talking. this is really the only kind of instance that gets him to slip up around any of the other four, because in his mind, why would he be speaking in french when he knows he can better communicate with the sorry bastard in front of him in another language?

i leave you with one final note to a question you could maybe be having idk: so, how many languages CAN lupin speak? and the answer to that is uh. i don’t know. many. whatever is plot relevant. are we like counting piglatin too or

#I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS!! MANY MANY #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin

Loving danger

Ship: Dizzy Genre: Romance, Cotton, Angst Description: 'Meteor Shower, quick take cover' For @exotic-dinostuff TW: If you know meteor shower, you know why there is a TW but once again if u watched MD u should be- well- you know mentally prepared for this type of writing cuz you saw it visually more than once. Implied death Side note: why did Doll suddenly go from direct english to translated one aka russian and then (translation) text? Cuz there was a slight of a pov change, like the pov focused somewhat on Doll and then it switched to Lizzy, so it would make sense that Doll understands what she hears directly while others hear her speak Russian and then through the filter of their own mind then translate and understand her words -------------------------------

(No one's pov)

Doll and Lizzy found each other, once upon a time, it's unclear who first spotted the other, unclear when it happened, who took the first step, or if it was all arranged, but the two stuck together tighter than any other friendship or relationship around them. An unbreakable bond, but what made them as such…?

"Isn't fire so beautiful?" Lizzy said with a wide smile on her face, swinging her feet on the edge of the jumping goat in the gym. It was way past hours, and sometimes these two would stay late to exercise their moves for the next day, in truth it was an excuse to be with each other alone.

"What?" Doll asked confused as she looked at Lizzy baffled by her comment. "The fire. It's beautiful. It's in a constant movement of dancing and sparkling even when it's close to dying off. I wish my head could catch on fire like Braiden's." "?! Lizzy don't say that!" The way Lizzy spoke her words so casual, it scared Doll, terrified her to the grave. "Why?! It's not like I would melt! We live in an atomic-cold world! Plus, our materials are resistant enough to endure fire! Isn't it such a cool thing that the fire somehow maintains itself despite the temperature and lack of fuel? It's so pretty!" Doll looked at Lizzy more concerned than ever before. It wasn't unusual for Lizzy to sometimes say something out of the ordinary like that, but this statement, out of the blue, scared Doll more than anything else that Lizzy could ever speak.

As time passed, Doll's concern only grew further more, as Lizzy began to form a passion for meteors and asteroids, naming them as 'spectacular crackling space fires'. Doll couldn't help but ponder weather there was a deeper meaning behind this. Lizzy was a very stylish and fashionable girl, of course anything she found as aesthetic she devoted her time to it. Doll made all sorts of scenarios in her mind, nightmares and awful things was the result of it. Why was she tormenting herself like this? Lizzy was fine! She just…liked something a lot, even if Doll didn't understand it, that didn't mean that something was terribly wrong with Lizzy. Doll's main concern was that someone would find out and call Lizzy defect, which would be beyond soul crushing for the red eyed Russian drone, because she could be thrown to the mechanic, or become an outcast like Uzi. She didn't want that, she dread that, she couldn't help but tense up each time Lizzy brought up the subject, or anything close to it, like the sky and the stars. She would watch Lizzy talk, praying to all that she has dear that the girl won't slip her strange passion for fire and meteors.

It took a long time for Doll to get over it. She would ask herself why she panicked in the first place once all of her fears were gone. Perhaps that is what happens when you love someone so much. Maybe you start thinking silly things because you care about them so much, and these funny little thoughts made you care for that person even more, wanting to keep them as close as possible to ensure their safety and well being, and praying, begging on your knees, to this world, that you will be enough for them to live a long happy life, or at least your idea of what that is. She hoped and pray that her ideal life was the same as Lizzy's, so that when she wants the best for her, she can be ensured that indeed it is what Lizzy would also wants.

"If I am ever to die or become so old and shriveled with wrinkles that my system shuts down, I hope I'll get to see a meteor shower before it all!" "Lizzy, don't say such a thing." Doll scolded her with a concerned look on her face. The two were laying on Lizzy's bed, late at night with the lights closed, staring at the ceiling filled with glowing stickers. "Oh come on! It's possible! You saw Uzi's dad, that man has wrinkles! Like wow- and you know what? I think it would be really beautiful." "To be a wrinkled old lady?" Doll teased as Lizzy smiled and nudged her playfully. "Hardy har har!"

'If I am ever to be pass on from another reason other than my system wearing down, I want it to be a meteor shower'

These haunting words rang in Doll's ears as she watched the sight in horror. The sky was falling. The shiny stars were falling upon the earth, and they showed no sign of stopping. "Lizzy we have to go." Doll said panicked as she got up immediately, grabbing the girls hand and dragging her off, but the girl wasn't moving.

Her neon pink widened in excitement as she looked at the sky with a wide smile on her face, the same look she had at times when she'd watch Braiden's head catch fire.

"Lizzy! Come on!" Something was wrong. Doll could feel it in her core. She was slow, sloppy, as if her system was partially frozen. It made no sense. Was this fear? Was this what was happening? She didn't have time for such none sense! They had to get to safety! She had to protect Lizzy.

"Lizzy we have to get to safety!" Doll repeated as she began to drag the girl, forcing her to move, but her eyes stayed fixated on the sky, looking at it in an awe from this majestic sight. It is not always that you get to witness such a thing.

The sky was a beautiful bitter dark, enlightened by the many purely white orbs of light falling left and right like snow flakes in a storm, like rain drops in a rainy day, but there were a few, more special than the others, because they had a blue flame, and it was beyond hypnotic. It was an intoxicating sight, a sight that made Lizzy unaware of her own actions, filling her to the brim of her core, making her act outside of her survival instincts.

Doll was running. Running like never before in her life. Not for herself, not for her sake, but for the life of the last person on this cursed planet that she had left. For the last person that she loved beyond her grave and death. The last person she would give it all up for, if it meant that nothing in this world will ever draw out tears from her eyes.

Somewhere in the forest, they got lost… Doll's mind became numbed by terror, and Lizzy was stuck mesmerized by the sight before her. And somewhere in the forest Doll realized that Lizzy's grasp was no longer in hers. How did this happen? Doll stopped at once, looking at her hand, she just felt Lizzy let go, so she expected the girl to be at best just a few feet behind her, but she was so much further away, barely visible from Doll's vision. How could this be? How was this possible? She was holding her, just a few moments ago.

"LIZZY! TAKE COVER!" Doll screamed desperately as she began to run back, as she looked between Lizzy and the sky terrified. This wasn't happening, this wasn't happening, this couldn't be real, it couldn't, this had to be a bad joke, a prank, something, anything!

"LIZZY!" Doll shouted, but for nothing. A bright light and a loud noise, Doll leaped forward, she was so close to her, so very close and yet…

"Lizzy?! Liz-" Doll was on the cold frozen ground, as her head rose she saw a small pitch black rock with some melted snow around it, just a few inches away which made her cut herself off. She turned around to see where Lizzy was but her heart dropped in an instance, going awfully silent as the sight before her made petrified her, before she quickly rushed to her feet, forcing herself to snap out of this state as she brought the girl in her grasp, holding her on her lap and closely to herself with her arms. Her visor was blank, a huge hollow gap and a crack in it.

Doll gasped quietly, as she felt a dagger stab her in the throat, preventing her from speaking, as the pain grew more as tears sprouted within her eyes, she didn't notice the blind spot from her own vision, and as she looked closer to the girl she loved, she saw her reflection. She…was hit too, but then, how, how was she alive but… how was this possible? This made no sense- She'll fix it. She'll patch her up and she'll use the very string of her own soul if she needs to. There was no FATAL ERROR, there was nothing there- there was nothing, just like her parents, just like her at the prom when-

Doll gasped for air loudly as she bolted awake, jumping on her feet, and rushing to a mirror, she had an eye patch. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Lizzy. Where is Lizzy, where-

Doll's body began to tremble as her vision got foggy and everything blurred out, as she tried to breath. This wasn't real. But it was, she could feel that patch on her eye, so then what happened? Why did she have one, where was Lizzy. Think, think, think… The AS… yes, that's why she had an eye patch… but then, where was- right… Doll left the colony long ago…but what if it wasn't a dream? What if…

Within the blink of an eye Doll was in Lizzy's bedroom. She was right there. Safe and sound asleep, or at least she used to be.

Lizzy got startled awake as she felt a sudden shift in her body, which wasn't caused by her… She woke up in the pitch black darkness of the night, being held tightly, almost painfully, by a face she didn't she'd ever see again. "Doll-?!" Lizzy asked baffled. Last time they saw each other Doll threw her off like a piece of worn cloth, so then why was she here? Was she here for revenge? Her sides hurt… but no. The girl was crying bitter tears, her breath shaky, trembling all the while she held Lizzy to herself as if she's just got her back after a terrible event. "Моя любовь. Моя любовь. Моя любовь." (My love. My love. My love)Doll mumbled over and over again endlessly. Usually Lizzy could understand her, but now Doll was talking too fast for her to understand.

All the fear that Lizzy felt was gone in the blink of an eye as she saw the dearest person from her life break like this. It was painful to loose Doll the first time around, when her mind became wicked and poisoned from the grief of loosing her parents, but she never thought she'd get her soul torn to shreds like that by the same girl twice.

"Doll. Doll calm down. Talk to me. Doll." Lizzy's attempts to calm her down were in vain. Doll didn't stop for a moment. Lizzy tried to clean her tears, but she couldn't. Because Doll held her closer, pressing their bodies against each other, whispering the same thing softly over and over, hiding her face in her neck as the same painful dagger stuck in her throat, trying to prevent her from speaking, but she didn't care, she couldn't care, it was the least of her worries now. She had to feel her. She had to know she was alive. She had to know she was well. She had to know she was there. She was so foolish to throw her off like that. Did she even thing of what could have happened? She didn't, but she should have. She had to make sure she-

Her trail of thoughts were cut off as a soft whisper shushed her gently, as a familiar touch caressed her face, as soft loving hands twirled their fingers in her hair, running through it, affectionately bringing her back to the real world, where they were both in each other's grasp, both conscious and breathing, both functioning and unharmed. "Shhhh, it's alright, it's alright." Lizzy whispered.

Once silence washed over, a voice spoke. "Do you want to go outside?" Once the murder drones were defeated, their favorite activity became star gazing since they were no longer in the threat of being hunted down. "Нет, снаружи опасно." (No, it's dangerous outside) Lizzy didn't know what Doll has witnessed or saw out there, it's been so long since they've been next to each other… "Alright…we'll stay here…we'll stay here." Lizzy said quietly as she kissed Doll's forehead softly as the other girl's grip stayed just as tight. They slowly began to drift to sleep within each other's comforting grasp, as the tears dried up and soft loving kisses were shared, with Lizzy kissing her cheeks and Doll kissing her shoulder softly. No matter what will happen in this life or another, they will forever be part of each other's soul.

The end

why do you support amber?? genuine question no hate at all, I wasn’t keeping up with the case at all

tbh at first i actually supported johnny. simply because all i knew about the case was the whole shit in the bed stuff and thought damn, that was weird. and i knew him more than amber so my gut reaction i suppose was to believe him.

then i started getting spammed with shit like "he haw johnny depp being funny in court" on tiktok and decided to have looksee at the actual trial happening. at this point i didn't have a clue that there had even been a uk trial. i had never heard of amber's op-ed. didn't know about any of the depp/waldman statements. didn't have a bulls notion as to what was happening. but i was also like why in god's name are we as a society sat back overlaying wii music over a trial about domestic violence? and why is it being so well received, getting millions of views?

i think the first time i actually watched the trial was when johnny was testifying and i was pretty much all cringe like awhh poor guy. and fell for his lawyer's stuff and the internet's take on him.

then i watched rottenborn cx him and was like, damn this ROTTEN-BORN guy is kinda mean to this poor johnny depp who has been abused :((((

then i think there was a weekend break where i looked on tumblr and unbiased reddit threads, away from the propaganda machine. and still i was like, god damn these people are stupid. amber heard is obvs evil (keep in mind, i didn't know any evidence, besides johnny's testimony. so, this was all fueled by stuff i saw in pro-depp media)

then, when i finally started to believe amber was when this psychologist came out and diagnosed her with BPD and histrionic personality disorder (yet again having to say that diagnosis in the 21st century is so fucking weird) and i was like wait... (also the fact she had din dins with him got my feathers ruffled straight away ngl)

so then my thick skull finally opened and i was like maybe... just maybe... before making judgements on this case and this woman i do not know... i should perhaps look at the evidence.

so i did. i checked out someone's (i cant remember who's tbh) fact check list here on tumblr. and they raised enough good points that i couldn't in good faith sit back and do mental gymnastics to try deny or defend depp out of them.

so i took those facts on that list and looked further into it. i read uk transcripts. listened to audio. read up some more on domestic violence. looked to twitter threads that were not obviously biased and further looked into the sources provided by the original tweeters.

and by that point i couldn't sit there and say that johnny depp was not an abuser.

then watching amber's testimony soon after, seeing her nearly have an actual, full-blown breakdown on the stand talking about her rape, made me start to actually post about her being the victim in the equation. i had been hesitant because i didn't want the depp pond scum to tell me to die or something (not that they'd ever do that of course)

(kind of irrelevant, but seeing camille vasquez bully amber so intensely on the stand and then be praised made me sick to my fucking stomach. furthering me in my support of amber.)

then seeing testimony from people who aren't even her friends anymore (and them literally crying while recalling it)

also ms girl dawn hughes. she was so on the ball and so qualified in her field of ipv.

then don't get me started on russian oligarch lover mr. adam waldman

sorry this was so long. it kinda became less me answering and more me reflecting on why and when i turned to supporting amber. soz

#lmao #long post #it's 3am i have so much energy #someone knock me out with a horse tranquiliser or something #i stand with amber heard

THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ Look at you. What do you believe in, huh? ❜

❛ I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you...stranger. ❜

❛ What gives you the right? What's the difference between you and me? ❜

❛ I don't get political points for being an idealist. I do the best I can with what I have. ❜

❛ You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. ❜

❛ If I were sneaking out every night, someone would've noticed by now. ❜

❛ I mean, what happened? Did your balls drop off? ❜

❛ If it's so simple, why haven't you done it already? ❜

❛ If you're good at something, never do it for free. ❜

❛ You think you can steal from us and just walk away? ❜

❛ If I get him to you, can you get him to talk? ❜

❛ I knew the risk when I took this job. ❜

❛ We wouldn't wanna make things too easy, now, would we? ❜

❛ If you can tell me the Russian for "apply your own bloody suntan lotion.". ❜

❛ You wanna know how I got these scars? ❜

❛ Let's put a smile on that face. ❜

❛ Why so serious? ❜

❛ I think a simple phone call might have sufficed. ❜

❛ Oh, you mean, when they find out that you've helped us, they're gonna kill you? ❜

❛ They're all gonna come after you now. ❜

❛ Look at me. Look at me! ❜

❛ People will die. Starting tonight. I'm a man of my word. ❜

❛ Any psychotic ex-boyfriends I should be aware of? ❜

❛ You can't ask me to wait for that. ❜

❛ You can't leave me alone with these people. ❜

❛ It makes you think about things you couldn't stand losing, about who you wanna spend your life with. ❜

❛ Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are tonight's entertainment. ❜

❛ You know, you remind me of my father. I hated my father. ❜

❛ Well, hello, beautiful. ❜

❛ You look nervous. Is it the scars? ❜

❛ Now I see the funny side. Now I'm always smiling. ❜

❛ You got a little fight in you. I like that. ❜

❛ You can't protect me. You can't even protect yourselves. ❜

❛ Criminals aren't complicated. We just need to figure out what he's after. ❜

❛ Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. ❜

❛ Some men just wanna watch the world burn. ❜

❛ Whatever you're gonna do, do it fast. ❜

❛ You brought this craziness on us. You did! You brought this on us! ❜

❛ Is there someone, is there anyone in this town we can trust? ❜

❛ From one professional to another, you're trying to scare somebody, pick a better spot. From this height, the fall wouldn't kill me. ❜

❛ Heads, you get to keep your head. Tails...not so lucky. ❜

❛ You'd leave a man's life to chance? ❜

❛ You're the symbol of hope I could never be. ❜

❛ No one else will die because of me. ❜

❛ You can't give in! ❜

❛ You once told me that if the day came when I was finished, that we'd be together. Did you mean it? ❜

❛ Don't make me your one hope for a normal life. ❜

❛ If you turn yourself in, they're not gonna let us be together. ❜

❛ People are dying. What would you have me do? ❜

❛ Accomplice? I'm gonna tell them the whole thing was your idea. ❜

❛ The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming. ❜

❛ He's not being a hero. He's being something more. ❜

❛ This is your life. You can't leave something like that to chance. ❜

❛ You can't stop here. We're like sitting ducks! ❜

❛ Come on. I want you to do it, I want you to do it. Come on, hit me. Hit me! ❜

❛ You do like to play things pretty close to the chest. ❜

❛ I've got a date with a pretty upset girlfriend. ❜

❛ No matches on prints, DNA, dental. No name. No other alias. ❜

❛ Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint. ❜

❛ I'm sorry, I couldn't risk your safety. ❜

❛ Does it depress you, to know just how alone you really are? ❜

❛ If we're gonna play games, I'm gonna need a cup of coffee. ❜

❛ Never start with the head. The victim gets all fuzzy. He can't feel the next… ❜

❛ You wanted me. Here I am. ❜

❛ I wanted to see what you'd do. And you didn't disappoint. ❜

❛ But I know the truth. There's no going back. You've changed things. Forever. ❜

❛ I don't wanna kill you. What would I do without you? ❜

❛ Don't talk like one of them. You're not. Even if you'd like to be. ❜

❛ When the chips are down, these civilized people...they'll eat each other. ❜

❛ See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve. ❜

❛ You have all these rules, and you think they'll save you. ❜

❛ The only sensible way to live is without rules. ❜

❛ You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength. ❜

❛ How many of your friends have I killed? ❜

❛ It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be all right. They're coming for you. ❜

❛ Do you wanna know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the little emotions. ❜

❛ You see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. ❜

❛ I'm sorry to let you down. If you lose your faith in me, please keep your faith in people. ❜

❛ Things always get worse before they get better. ❜

❛ Why should I hide who I am? ❜

❛ This town deserves a better class of criminal, and I'm gonna give it to them. ❜

❛ Tell your men they work for me now. ❜

❛ Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches? Hm? And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is. ❜

❛ It's not about money, it's about sending a message. ❜

❛ Everything burns. ❜

❛ Do I really look like a guy with a plan? ❜

❛ You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. ❜

❛ Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. ❜

❛ Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair. ❜

❛ Don't watch a whole lot of news, do you? ❜

❛ Shouldn't you be out there, you know, doing something? ❜

❛ This is too much power for one person. ❜

❛ I'll help you this one time. But consider this my resignation. ❜

❛ Look, if I tell you, will you let me go? ❜

❛ What exactly did you think they were gonna do? ❜

❛ It's not that simple. It never is. ❜

❛ Ah, you made it. I'm so thrilled. ❜

❛ You don't wanna die, but you don't know how to take a life. ❜

❛ We really should stop this fighting, otherwise we'll miss the fireworks. ❜

❛ And here we go. ❜

❛ Can't rely on anyone these days. You gotta do everything yourself. Don't we? ❜

❛ You just couldn't let me go, could you? ❜

❛ This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. ❜

❛ I think you and I are destined to do this forever. ❜

❛ Madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push. ❜

❛ You wouldn't dare try to justify yourself if you knew what I'd lost. ❜

❛ Have you ever had to talk to the person you loved most, tell them it's gonna be alright, when you know it's not? ❜

❛ It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair! ❜

❛ You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But you were wrong. ❜

❛ People will lose hope. ❜

❛ A hero. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed. ❜

❛ Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. ❜

❛ He's the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now. ❜

Flirting at the Mall 1

Chapter 1 out of 8

Steve and Eddie both work at Starcourt Mall, dancing around each other and flirting. When Steve finally manages to ask Eddie out, he gets kidnapped by Russians and misses their date. He shows up at Eddie’s house, drugged and beaten after Startcourt burned down to apologize and Eddie makes sure he’s okay, before they retry their date.

On AO3.

Ships: Steve x Eddie

Warnings: none really, besides it being the 80s

~~~~~~~~~~~

Captain Steve (Eddie POV)

Eddie never thought he’d see the day he would be working an honest job, yet here he is walking through the halls of Starcourt Mall to his job at the record store, Melody Records. He’s mostly glad he got a job without a uniform and at a place he actually likes within the capitalistic sheep hellscape that is the mall.

He hasn’t been working there long and he’s still dealing on the side, but the extra income is nice. It isn’t often that Eddie can treat himself to little things and the mall has working AC. Plus he gets employee discount on his tapes, so it’s not that bad of a gig.

Today he’s manning the counter when Gareth, Jeff and Chris come into the store, Gareth barreling in first a little out of breath Jeff and Chris following at a more sedate pace.

“Did the world end or something?” Eddie laughs at the wide-eyed expression on his friend.

“Better,” Gareth says. “Steve Harrington works at the mall.”

“Okay, I guess it’s kind of funny that the king has to work among us plebs,” Eddie replies with a shrug, trying not to show how the name Steve Harrington lights his insides up, because he’s been harboring a stupid crush on the jock for years. “But how is that this good?”

“He works at Scoops Ahoy,” Gareth yells.

“I don’t-” Eddie says confused.

Jeff helps him out, by saying: “What Gareth means to say is that Harrington is slinging ice cream in a ridiculous sailor outfit. And it is our duty as your friends to drag you out there so we can have a bit of vindication laughing at him.”

Eddie isn’t proud of how he screeches to a halt at Jeff’s words, the mental image of Steve in a sailor outfit making him hot under the collar instead of amused. But Eddie has gotten great at playing thing like these off, so he managed to laugh: “Really?”

“Yeah, has a dorky hat and everything,” Chris grins.

Not his hair, Eddie laments mentally, though outwardly he grins: “Finally a crown for our king,” which makes the others laugh more.

“So when do you get to take a break? My treat,” Gareth asks eagerly.

Suddenly Eddie realizes that they want him to go see Steve in a sailor outfit right now without any preparation. He’s sure to make a fool out of himself and then they’ll know his shame. Not that he was gay, they already know that, but that Eddie has an embarrassing crush on the jockiest, preppiest, straightest guy in Hawkins. His reputation will go down the drain.

He has to get out of this or accept their bullying for the rest of summer. So, he looks up excuse on his tongue when he sees how excited all of them look at the prospect of laughing at Steve. And a conflict starts in his chest.

It appears he has been quiet for too long, because Gareth’s face looses his grin and he frowns alongside the others and asks: “Eddie?”

Feeling caught and needing something to say, Eddie squeaks: “Are we mean?”

“What do you mean?” Gareth asks with a frown.

“I don’t know,” Eddie waves his hands around as he talks to calm himself down. “Steve used to be a dick, sure. But he stopped hanging out with assholes in Junior year and he got beat up by Billy, who is a way bigger dick and here we are laughing about him working a job. That’s mean, right? We’re the mean ones if we do that.”

All his friends stare at him for a few silent beats. Eddie pulls his hair before his face, chewing it nervously as he back out: “Nevermind, it’s stupid.”

“He has a point,” Jeff says, calming Eddie’s loudly beating heart. “It’s a bit mean. But it’s not like Harrington’s gonna care. I don’t even think he knows we exists and it’s not like we’re going to go in there and laugh right in his face.”

A stab of hurt goes through Eddie when Jeff points out Steve probably doesn’t know of their existence. God, this is stupid.

“Don’t worry about it, man,” Chris adds. “It’s not like he can beat us up in his place of employment.”

And it’s not at all why Eddie doesn’t want to see Steve. He really wants to see Steve, actually, he just isn’t sure he won’t do anything stupid. However, he also doesn’t think he’ll be able to weasel out of this without seeming more suspicious than he already is. So, he calls that he’s taking his break to his coworker and lets himself get dragged out of Melody Records and towards Scoops Ahoy.

The others are giggling as they go and Eddie is trying to steel himself, but nothing could have prepared him for actually seeing Steve Harrington in the sailor outfit. It’s a little dorky, sure, but he still wonders how the hell that uniform go approved.

Steve’s shorts are very much short and the combination with the high socks is doing something for Eddie apparently. Even the stupid ascot looking thing and the hat look cute on Steve. It’s fucking unfair.

It becomes even more unfair when they get to the counter, the four of them the only people in the store and Steve greets them with: “Welcome to Scoops Ahoy, I’m Steve and I’ll be your captain today. Are you ready to set sail on this ocean of flavor with me.”

He says it in a way that screams that this is company police and he’d rather not, but Eddie loves the stupid little greeting, because of course he does. There’s just something adorable about Steve giving them a dorky greeting, calling himself their captain and inviting them on this journey that pushes Eddie’s buttons.

Before he can really think it through, Eddie leans in a bit and smirks: “I don’t know, sailor, will we be safe with you on our perilous ice cream journey?”

Immediately, he wants to punch himself in the face. Steve luckily doesn’t do exactly that, in fact he looks quite shocked, but not mad shocked. If Eddie wants to kid himself, he could even say there is a bit of a blush on his face.

Fortunately, Eddie is not in the business of kidding himself, so he doesn’t think that. He is actually about to move on like it never happened and busy himself with looking at ice cream flavors and ignoring both Steve and his own friends when Steve replies.

Steve wipes the shocked look of his face and a grin replaces it. He spins the scooper around his fingers in a manner that Eddie hates that he finds both attractive and impressive, before he says: “I guess you’ll just have to trust me. Picked your poison or want a recommendation?”

If Eddie was a smarter man, he’d just pick something. However, Eddie is on his way to doing Senior year for the third time and doesn’t consider himself a smart man in the slightest. So, he leans in again and replies: “Haven’t decided. Do you have a recommendation, captain?”

“I like USS butterscotch, but chocolate and strawberry seems to be a favorite,” Steve tells him, before offering, “I can give you a few samples to make up your mind.”

And Eddie knows that what he’s doing is stupid. It can be seen as teasing, sure, but it’s getting awfully close to flirting and not only are his friends right there staring at him like he’s an alien, but it’s also with Steve Harrington in a public space. It’s practically a hate crime waiting to happen.

However, Steve keeps smiling. Keeps a little red on his cheeks. Keeps his eyes on Eddie’s, not at all helping the other customers AKA Eddie’s friends. Keeps playing along, leaning into it. As if he doesn’t mind.

It’s enough to make Eddie loose his common sense brain cells, because he says: “I would love to try some USS butterscotch, if you speak highly of it.”

“A sample of USS butterscotch coming right up,” Steve smiles at him, before grabbing a small plastic spoon and leaning into the freezing display to get the sample. Eddie misses his handsome face for the few seconds it takes, but appreciates how Steve’s ass looks in those shorts when he bends over.

Steve comes back up, his hat now askew from where it hit the top of the glass case. It makes Eddie wonder what it would be like to mess up the hair and hat with his own hands. Before he can get lost in that fantasy, Steve holds up the small scoop and proudly says: “Here you go.”

Eddie takes it and if their fingers brush for a second that was an accident. Just like it’s an accident how he licks the spoon clean. He must truly be out his mind, but Steve’s eyes widen a bit and that makes the reckless action worth it.

“This is good,” he moans, not even lying. “You have good taste, sailor.”

In turn, Steve swallows, cheeks redder, before he stumbles: “Wh- What happened to captain, eh?” as he tries to go for a tease, only finding his confidence at the end of the sentence.

“My apologies, captain, I didn’t mean to undermine your leadership on this vessel,” Eddie grins.

“Apology accepted,” Steve grins right back. “But to be honest, I’m more a mate around here. Robin, my coworker runs the show. I just stand here and look pretty.”

“At least you’re doing what you’re good at,” Eddie says, again wanting to punch himself, because the rest can be teasing, but this is skirting too close to the edge of genuine flirting that will get Eddie hurt, because straight boys don’t like it when you call them pretty.

However, Steve surprises him by blushing more, something he hides by joking: “Hopefully my flavor recommendation skills aren’t so bad either.”

“They definitely aren’t,” Eddie assures him, glad to take the exit he’s being offered. “A scoop of USS butterscotch, please.”

“Coming right up,” Steve smiles. “Cone or cup?”

“Cone,” Eddie answers.

He again appreciates Steve’s backside as he scoops, both because it is a good backside and because otherwise he’ll have to meet the faces of his friends, something he doesn’t think he can do right now.

When he first heard, he knew he would do something stupid when faced with Steve in a little sailor outfit and he is right. He has been the opposite of subtle and they now know his shame. But he can’t help it! Steve is looking hot yet dorky in the outfit and he’s being nice, going along with Eddie and he truly can’t be blamed.

Eddie is a flaming homosexual with eyes and currently those eyes are on Steve. Hot, surprisingly nice Steve.

“A cone of USS butterscotch all for you,” Steve says as he offers the cone to Eddie.

“Thank you, sailor,” Eddie replies with a courtesy, which makes Steve giggle – not laugh or snort, but genuinely giggle.

Then Steve finally acknowledges that Eddie isn’t alone by asking: “Will you be paying as a group or all individually?”

“I’m paying,” Gareth says and Eddie remembers him offering to treat to entice Eddie there.

“Alrighty,” Steve nods, putting something into the system, before asking: “What can I get you?” the tonal difference making Eddie feel like their interaction was special. A feeling only amplified as Steve efficiently gets the cones for the others without the whole charming circus he’d put on when Eddie was ordering.

Gareth pays for their ice cream and Steve bids them farewell as they walk out of the store. Eddie offering him a wave and a wink, before they round the corner.

It’s only when they’re out of sight that Eddie realizes what he just did. He flirted pretty openly and brazenly with Steve. Steve! King Steve. Captain of the swim- and basketball team. Biggest ladies man.

He’s lucky he hasn’t gotten punched. But all his mind can focus on is how Steve seemed to blush, his grin, fuck his giggle. How hot he looked. God, he’s fucked.

At the thought he lets out a loud groan and miserably licks his ice cream. Steve’s ice cream. His favorite flavor. Don’t think about it, Eddie, just eat it. Ice cream is fitting for the situation when you’re bound to get your heart broken.

Eddie is pulled out of his thoughts by Jeff bumping his shoulder against Eddie and softly saying: “Dude.”

“What?” Eddie squeaks, hoping that it will trick them in unseeing the pathetic display that happened in Scoops Ahoy.

“You totally have a crush on Steve Harrington,” Gareth exclaims, barely keeping his voice low enough to not get stares from everyone.

“No, I don’t,” Eddie helplessly defends himself.

“You totally do,” Chris buds in. “Everyone could see that.”

Eddie groans again, hiding his face behind his hair so they can’t see his blush as he whines: “Don’t remind me. I made a total fool out of myself!”

“I don’t know,” Chris shrugs.

“Yeah,” Jeff backs him up. “Steve looked like you were the opposite of a fool.”

“He was totally flirting back,” Gareth adds.

“You’re lying,” Eddie says, determined not to believe them even if they had a point, because he refuses to get his hopes up about Steve Harrington. “He is the straightest guy out there. You heard the rumors in the halls. He was just being nice.”

“Sure,” Gareth snorts, “that’s why his customer service was drastically different between you and the rest of us and why he was giving you total heart eyes, like you’re personally responsible for hanging the moon and stars in the sky.”

“He did not!” Eddie squawks.

“Look, normally I’d agree with you,” Chris says. “This is literally king Steve and we all know his reputation. It seems stupid to try something, especially since, you know, heterosexual.”

“Thank you, Chris,” Eddie huffs.

“However,” Chris replies in the same tone. “However, he seemed different. I’m not saying you should run in there and ask him out or something, I’m just saying that if you want, you could show your face there again and Steve would far from mind.”

Eddie silently licks his ice cream as he mulls over the words. He’s been kind of telling himself that he’s reading into Steve’s reactions and not give himself false hope. Yet here are all his friends saying they saw the same thing.

Maybe Chris is right. He doesn’t have to do anything drastic or crazy out there, but it isn’t like Steve banished him from the store either. He can go back and see if he gets the same reaction or something like that.

“I guess,” he concedes, finishing up his ice cream and re-entering Melody Records to let his coworker take her break.

“Good,” Gareth says, before a shit eating grin appears on his face. “Now that you’ve accepted that, we can finally move on to you having a crush on Harrington of all people.”

“Noooo,” Eddie whines, burying his head in his arms to escape the jeering of his friends about metalhead Munson falling for homecoming king Harrington.

Secretly, he likes the teasing. It’s nice to be accepted enough for them to have no problem with this outside the hilarity of their clashing styles. He can live with them being little jackasses about that if it means he gets to feel normal about having a crush.

Besides, he might have a chance, no matter how insane it sounds.

A/N:

Not me texting my lovely amazing beautiful girlfriend for flirting tips to write this, because I’m hopeless at it (and I know they’re great at it) lmao. Shout out to my beloved <3

Characters I kin and why:

(Characters I relate to and why:)

--Eleven: Honestly I kinda look like Millie, and her style in season 3 is exactly what I would wear.

--Will Byers: We both get pushed to the side of things (seasons 3 and 4) and want to help other with explaining their feelings, "you wanna know how we feel? Hahaha, no. Let's talk about you and forget about me."

--Robin Buckley: We have about the same personality. Like when she rants to Steve at Family Video in season 4, I would rant on as well. And when I realize I am ranting, I would completely apologize. I also would've done the same thing to the Russians as she did. And I'd be the exact same drugged as her. (I think, I've never been drugged before, and don't plan to be.)

--Max Mayfield: When we have something tramatic happen, we both close everyone out, dissapear from everything. But we know that it's not the best, yet we still continue to do it.

--Joyce Byers: We fight for what is right, we fight until we cannot anymore. Joyce never stopped fighting to find Will. She only stopped when she had Will back with her. People may have thought that she was crazy, but she didn't care. She just wanted her son back.

--Richie Toizer: I mean, his wardrobe, 100/10 Would wear. Who wouldn't? Plus, we both push our feelings and stuff back and cover them with jokes. (plus all my jokes are about me, they tear myself down, but their funny and make everyone laugh around me.) "Hey look! *points at trashcan* It's me because I'm garbage!"

--Stanley Uris: Sarcasm, we both use it a lot. I mean, who doesn't like birds? They are so cool! Mentally, we are probably the same person. Others most of the time: "I would die for *instert name here*" Me and Stanley part of the time: "I just wanna die."

--Bill Denbrough: We both will do anything for the people that we love. Even if that means putting ourselves in danger first. Plus we have younger siblings that we love very much.

--Miles Fairchild: We both lost people who we were very close to young. We both have had experinces that have completely changed our lives. (not the same event) Plus our mindset can completely change from happy go lucky to I will literally end your life and not be guilty.

--Nicholas Nelson: Person: "You like this thing (girl)?" Nick & Me: "Her/Their dog died." Loves dogs.

--Nellie Nelson: They are a dog. I like dogs.

--Victoria (Tori) Spring: We both have tumblr blogs. And would most of the time rather be alone.

--Wednesday Addams: We both have this fighting spirit like if no one will help, join the cause, or they tell us no, we still do it. We need to finish what we started, and we won't stop until we are done.

These were just a few people that I could think of atm, but there are definately more than this. If I think of anymore, I may do another post, but idk yet.

#my thoughts #eleven #will byres #robin buckley #max mayfield #joyce byers #richie tozier #stanley uris #bill denbrough #nicholas nelson #nick nelson #nellie nelson #victoria spring #tori spring #wednesday addams #kin #people I kin

I have to wait a bit, before I sit in front of my computer to reblog your work (I can't put tags on my phone for some reason T~T).

But in the mean time, does Pierro even have taste buds? To drink Fire Water (vodka) just like that... You don't do that. I would make him drink tea instead. 🤔

By the way, an interesting thing, that I as a Snezhnayan (I am Russian) have to tell you. Maybe you can use it later in your chapters!! :D

Russian people really love tea, surprisingly. Every imigrant that I've listened to on YouTube wondered how much people like tea in Russia. I am an exception, but my whole family likes tea a lot and half of our cabinet is filled with different sorts of teas. Drinking tea is more of an excuse to chat, actually. We REALLY love to talk over a cup of tea with some sweets! It's a tradition at this point. Whenever you invite someone to your home, you're also inviting them for a cup of tea so you could chat about anything and everything! Also, whenever we invite someone to our home, we feel the need to cook something or at least have food ready for our guests to eat if they ever get hungry. As soon as the guest is wondering to the kitchen, you need to offer some type food: from cupcakes to leftovers (if you haven’t cooked anything at all for the guest). Cookies are almost a must. Any sweets are fine because you need to eat them with a cup of warm tea.

Part of why we drink vodka too. If you don't drink tea with your friends, then you're drinking vodka in their company. There're two ways of bonding for us, as you can see. 😆

Aaaanyway, the story is cooking very nicely! The circumstances are playing in The Clown's favour for now. But will it be like that for the rest of the chapters? Ohohoho! >:D

Also, did Diluc even notice that the agent wanted to hand The Clown a bag of money. Did he notice??? Is that a spoiler? I really wonder what this encounter means for the story. You wouldn't put it here for no reason, would you? This situation must be brought up in the near future, right? >:0

Or I'm overthinking things.... Or am I????

Also, do you headcanon that Diluc could almost kill the number three Fatui Harbinger? She must be hella strong. How have you came up with this idea?? I want to know your thoughts!

I, personally, think that she might have some psychodelia powers or something. Usually, when asians (as in Japanese, but Mihoyo takes a huge inspiration from Japanese anime, so...) draw a wicked character with a bandage over her/his head, that definately means that this character has some mind tricking powers. She looks weak — boney arms, petite figure. And yet she can strike fear in one of the strongest people. Considering her reaction to Signora's dead, I came to conclusion that she must have some mind manupilation powers or something. She's sick on her head!

Gah! This has become a long message! I'm so sorry! I'm waiting for the next chapters to come! You're doing great! :D

Haha, to answer your first question he probably doesn't have taste buds lol! Interestingly enough, before I started writing the fic I was under the impression that fire water was meant to be vodka (I do still believe it's a reference to it) but in the world of Teyvat it isn't a spirit like vodka is but instead it's... wine. I was quite surprised about it.

That's why I made him drink it just like that as well. Plus in a world quest a Fatui Mage drank Fire water pure as well ("Lost in a Foreign Land" - Chasm world quest), so they seem to do that in Teyvat.

Funnily enough in that world quest she did also mention tea but her milk was spoiled so that's why she drank Fire Water there 😂

It's also funny you mention you offer your guests food because that reminds me of a good friend I had back in school. She was Russian and every time I came over her mum asked me if I'm hungry or often just brought us some pancakes (not directly pancakes, she called them 'Blinis' don't exactly remember anymore though).

It's always interesting to learn about different cultures, so thanks for that 😊

Back to the fic, will the odds be in out favor for much longer? Did he notice the agent slipping money in our pocket? We shall see *rubs hands* 😈

As for Pulcinella who I hc to have been attacked during Diluc's vendetta after his father's death. He is the 5th Harbinger so I think you got him mixed up with Columbina there. Pulcinella, or the Rooster, is the major of Snezhnaya and was the little old man with the long nose in the trailer. I chose him with the thought that he is 1) not too high up the rank and 2) attempting to kill the major is probably what Diluc would to do cause significant damage for the organization imo, plus it would certainly bring in the attention of the rest of the Harbingers. 🤔

Thank you for your long ask!! 😊

anon !!! this is hours later than i meant for it to be, but here's my rambling essay-length response to your ask from earlier !!!!!!!! fair warning, i am just... so stupid and don't know how to properly get my thoughts across so it's a whole Mess 😬

your last text post is so real!! i really don't get the main character death obssesion either. it's honestly funny in a way because st is pretty much the only show that doesn't kill protagonists, and if they do they're brought back, yet there's more main character death talk in this fandom than anyone can take. it's like people just can't accept the duffers ain't about that life??!

first, i want to clarify that, to me, the main characters have always been joyce, hopper, nancy, jonathan, steve, mike, el, lucas, will, and dustin, with the addition of max in s2 and robin in s3. this is the main group that we follow, these are our protagonists, and everyone else is just secondary, regardless of whether the actor appears in the main credits or not

now, my post was definitely more aimed at all the talk i've seen about how there has to be a main character death before the show is over. people acting like it’s a given. i personally just really really don't want any of them to die and hate thinking about the possibility lmao

we don’t know how it’s going to end, or what the final season will be like, how dire things will be. they could absolutely switch gears and start killing mains left and right. i feel like waiting until the final season is exactly what so many other shows do anyway, right? so i get the concern, and it makes me a little wary, too. but that’s exactly it – so many other shows do it. it's weird, it’s tired, it’s unnecessary. and, really, the duffers are out here right now saying how much they regret killing chrissy off and she was only in the one episode. so like... imagine them actually trying to kill off one of the mains

they can’t please everyone, but i do think ultimately they’ll want to try to do right by as many fans of the show as possible, you know? the wrong kind of ending can ruin a show forever. people love these characters and at the end of it all, i think most of us just want to see them thriving

(and it’s not like will or el or hopper (or brenner) were ever actually dead. they just made the other characters believe they were, and each time there’s been pretty immediate hints that they weren’t gone for good -- the whole situation with will’s body + him talking to joyce through the lights, hopper leaving the eggos for el, no body for hopper + ‘the american’ in the russian prison, no body for brenner – and this show doesn’t shy away from showing bodies. when a character is dead, they want us to know it and feel it)

even the cast, millie and noah talking about how it's so big someone *has* to die, right? THEY LITERALLY DON'T. yes, it's a big battle and there should be losses but there is no reason for that to be main characters. like you said, is that unrealistic (and maybe a little ridiculous)?? well, yeah, but so is the show. realism has never been a priority in st. the show is literally a sappy sci-fi horror. and not killing protagonists is part of their formula, just like separating everyone into groups and then bringing them together in the finale is

i think millie and noah were just joking when they said to start killing everyone, even their own characters, off. like, yeah, the cast is pretty big right now and a ton of characters were added for this season specifically, but they’ve all had their own roles to play and barely exist outside of those parts. chrissy, fred, patrick, they were all brought on just to be killed off – probably the same to be said for more new characters by the end of this season. and i think millie even said something about the duffers being afraid of or even just refusing to kill main characters. but why is killing main characters such a normal thing now? why do we have to expect for characters we love to die horribly for like... no reason?

i've said it before, but this show absolutely is unrealistic and ridiculous AND cheesy. but it’s rooted in inspiration and references to 80s media, which is also something that i tend to think of as unrealistic and ridiculous and cheesy, so i mean it in the best way possible. it does its job. it's sappy and nostalgic, has an intense focus on love and family and friendship, while also playing on like... every major genre and trope from the era that they can fit into however many episodes and however many hours. i think some people take pieces of it way more seriously than the creators ever intended. they want it to be good, obviously, but also they’re huge nerds and they just want to have fun with it

i'm absolutely worried about some of the more side characters this season, and i know losing any of them is going to hurt, too. they're very good at making you care about a secondary character only to rip them away from you. but if this was just any other show, we would’ve probably already seriously lost a main character or two

i've seen people actually criticize this a lot because "it takes away from scenes like the end of dear billy because i know max won't die" and i guess that's valid criticism in some ways but i think people forget that that's literally just NOT the point of that scene. like, if they wanted you to be afraid max would actually like die, you would be. they've had every chance to kill main characters before. they could have killed nancy at the end of ep7 but they didn't. they're not even TRYING to get people scared for her, actually. that's why she's in the teaser and a bunch of bts and why they're not being suspenseful about her fate at all. st doesn't kill main characters. because they. don't. want. to. and they don't want people to be scared of that either, otherwise they'd be a lot more hush hush about stuff. this is something that has been true since s01.

again, why does it even matter? if you know that she isn’t going to die? death isn’t the only possible ending, and it’s not the only consequence, and she’s still very much in danger. there are still so many things that can happen, things that can go wrong, without having to make things so Final. i'm sorry if it starts feeling repetitive that main characters Aren’t being killed off ? but again, why are we just so accepting that that’s a normal response lol

people around these characters have been dying since s1. like directly or indirectly, because of their involvement with the main characters, because of something the main characters have done. that's messed up enough ! we should be worried about everyone who isn’t listed above that’s ever interacted with one of the mains before even thinking to worry about them. it's a part of that endless suffering i mentioned. guilt, trauma, angst, suffering, only to die in the end anyway... it's just miserable

they "kill" el and immediately add a scene of hopper taking eggos to the woods. they "kill" hopper and immediately add "the american". st makes fans suffer by putting their main characters through hell, but they don't kill them. that's actually something i love about the show. and some people may find that ridiculous or an error (and yeah, dead loved ones coming back again and again is anything but realistic) but it's very much intentional and has been since day 1 and changing that at the last second would be a huge mistake. one i don't think they'd ever make. (and that's not even talking about how death would ruin most character arcs and make their whole story pointless). anyway, i'm with you with hating the death obssesion around here!! they're so not going there, though, i'm fairly certain we're right 💙

again, we're talking about the people who have said they immediately regretted killing characters who've only appeared in one episode. people who said they would leave the show if certain characters were killed off. people who write lines like: "she saves your life because of friendship", which, yes, was said incredulously, but should actually be considered a blueprint of the show. one memory of her mother saying she loved her was enough for el to beat henry in that first fight. it's a show literally about underdogs persevering against all odds ("chances of success..." "never tell me the odds")

and just...

killing certain characters would make other seasons of the show completely pointless, others would cause major major major backlash, others have already 'died' AND done the 'sacrifice themselves for everyone else' thing so doing it again but actually dying this time would be stupid, others would completely kill the nostalgia/rewatchability factor, and some would just be cruel. this covers the entire major cast

this is just my thought process on it anyway haha. like, they still could definitely kill someone, but i just think it’d be a bad idea. there's many more interesting and less final ways to go about it idk

#if you read this i am SO sorry #it's also well past midnight and i woke up way earlier than i meant to this morning so like #i don't entirely... know what all i'm saying here and if it makes sense #probably just me talking in circles #about how much i don't want a main character death in this show dksjsakd #i know i didn't mention erica but like... she's barely main cast and i wouldn't consider her a major character rn #but i do think she's safe too #i've watched too many shows and loved too many characters and seen too many mcds #most of the time they're just lazy and stupid and completely avoidable #other times they're literally only done to further pain and trauma #which we have Plenty of in this show without even having to (really) do that #so there's just... no point in doing it other than people thinking they absolutely have to #which is not true #lex talks #st4 spoilers #spoilers #long post #i hope these tags and the read more work

It has recently been that I began to see various adaptations of Sherlock Holmes to satisfy my hyperfixation but I always found it very funny the ability that my sister had to fall in love only with Watson's actors without knowing that they were Watson.

Sure she knows what is Sherlock Holmes but her idea of the characters and everything she knows about them is basically the great mouse detective so when I saw Sherlock and she pointed to Freeman's Watson as "a really handsome man" she was quite surprised to learn that that was Watson.

Later it was hilarious when I saw the Granada version because there were 2 Watsons and they both seemed attractive to her, like when she saw Burke's Watson it was something so dramatic because my sister has a thing to evaluate the costumes of any series that she watches or I see because my sis study textile engineering and she always gives me speechs on how that fabric that they used for x victorian costumes is wrong because it did not even exist at that time, so she was telling me something about that and Burke's Watson appeared on the screen and she fell silent then she accused me of putting series "where only guys who seem very hot appear". Then when there was the change with Edward Hardwicke my sister unknowingly chose Watson's actor for her joke of "My ideal sugar daddy, he looks so adorable and kind, look how that suit fits him." When I told her that she pointed to Watson's actor AGAIN, she accused me of lying to her because "of course she already knew who Watson was in that series that I saw". I told her that they changed the actor.

As I did not stop watching SH adaptations, she decided to stop for a while pointing out who she found handsome until when my sister naively thought that if I saw something in Russian that definitely could not be an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, after to declare out loud that she "could marry" with Solomin's Watson I just laughed and she knew it. By the time I saw the new russian holmes she came to ask me directly who was Watson this time? And when I pointed it out she just said "Fuck" and left.

Then we had a very long talk where we concluded that her type is Watson.

I've always thought the best example of the particular kind of intelligence Nandor has is when he fights with werewolf and chooses a dog toy as his weapon. At first it's a nonsense and no one on the earth but himself can understand why he has made that choice. Then it's inevitable that for a moment you think that choosing a dog toy is the stupidest decision that someone could make and after a while you realize that it was actually a really fucking smart move and you are like "this FUCKING GUY"

Get to know the blogger

Tagged by @raven-of-domain-kwaad (thank you ♥)

1. Why did you choose your url?

Tbh I just wanted to change my previous url to something funny. I don't think current url is funny, but at least it's accurate (procrastination is probably the only thing I've mastered).

2. Any sideblogs?

Two: @local-star-wars-kinda-nerd (it's supposed to be my non-SWTOR blog, but I very inactive there, even if I have things to post), and @spacetagram (blog for my SW version of Instagram, but I'm also not posting often. Though I want to be more productive there. have anyone seen my motivation).

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Created account sometime in 2018, started posting somewhere mid-2019, so not for very long time.

4. Why did you originally start your blog?

My memory doesn't give me a certain answer, unfortunately (it was awkward at the beginning, so I guess my brain pushed memories away). Maybe because I've been seeing SWTOR blogs with their cool OCs and other SWTOR related posts, so I decided to share my SWTOR stuff.

5. Why did you choose your icon?

Because I'm sort of proud of that edit with Jett, plus she's basically main character here (but sometimes I change icons just because I want icon to match with new color schemes for blog).

6. Why did you choose your header?

Because I adore this commission from @palepinkycat ♥ (though I'll probably change sometime soon).

7. What is your post with the most notes?

This one

ofc it's a meme, I wouldn't expect anything else

8. How many mutuals do you have?

Tbh I'm still not sure who's considered a mutual (does it count even if we've never talked? or if we haven't interacted in months?), but I think there are more than 3, which is surprising, knowing that I can't maintain interactions well.

9. How many followers do you have?

215, wow (it's a lot to me). Some of them are inactive, but it's ok.

10. How many blogs do you follow?

101. Huh, I thought this number was higher.

11. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Some of my very first posts were shitposts (probably), so shitposting is the name of the game.

12. How many times do you use tumblr a day?

Uuhhhh... a lot. It's one of my 2 main social media now (the other is reddit), which probably says something about me, but these two are more comfortable for me.

13. Have you ever fought another blog?

People do that? Even so, I haven't because one of reasons why I moved to tumblr is avoiding constant fights and toxicity of Russian-speaking platforms, so I don't need that again tyvm.

14. How do you feel about “need to reblog” posts?

50/50. I don't mind them (because more often than not it's important), but I admit - I pretty much never reblog them (recent months aside, and even during that time I didn't it often). Mainly because I want to relax and not think about real world for some time.

15. Do you like tag games?

Y E S! I always get excited when I get tagged, and then passing it on (though thinking about who to tag is a struggle sometimes).

16. Do you like ask games?

Apply previous answer here.

17. Which of your mutuals do you think are tumblr famous?

Maybe no one, but how'd I even know?

18. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

I don't have a crush on mutual, but I love you all ♥ (it makes sense in my head).

I don't know who hasn't been tagged yet, so leaving it open (also coz no energy to think, sorry).

#thanks for tagging me :) you gave me motivation to go back to posting #i don't know that much about tumblr is supposed to work. i'm just pretending that i do #so uh. what's a mutual #(kidding)#tagged
