lowkey obsessed with the domestic college stommy au that lives in my head

#stommy #momo.txt #no upside down au established stommy they leave hawkins together #go to college and get a shitty tiny 3 bedroom apartment in the city #that they share with robin and carol #because they cant go anywhere without their girls #and Tommy's already had his redemption he's trying to be nicer and do better #but his sharp edges are softening even more in the city #he gets to wake up in the morning in his boyfriends arms he gets to explore this side of himself #they watch bastball games together and hug and kiss and cheer whenever their team scores #he can slap steves ass when he's making breakfast and tommy comes up behind him #because theyre both still jocks #carol makes a chore chart and sticks it to the fridge so they can rotate through all the chores in the shared spaces #gives everyone baskets to keep in the bathroom to keep all their products separate (this is mostly for carol and steve) #robin is dating vickie and she wants what stommy has she wants to wake up in the morning to her gf but she can't just ask her to move in!! #tommy says yes you can suck it up and fucking ask her to move in next semester already #steve is a little nicer and reminds rob that vickie loves her and she'd never be mean about it if she wasnt ready to move in #but she totally is so thats a non issue #they all go to parties at frat houses and steve and tommy drink and dance and use the alcohol as an excuse to get all touchy in public #carol flirts and goes home with some hottie of the week #she's having fun being single and exploring herself and the dating world #robin dances and has fun but eventually just goes home with vickie #they have fun they build up this lil friend group and its everything and theyre free #they made it out of hawkins theyre away from their parents #im just!!!!! #aaaaaaaa #theyre fun to think about i love them #if anyone is reading this i love u

I love that the bg3 guys are all written to have this intense adoration of karlach and lae’zel’s abilities to absolutely eviscerate their enemies. they’ve all got the same taste in women, which is “she could gut the big scary man chasing me, and then princess carry me to safety in her blood spattered arms.” and I respect and relate to that, as a bisexual man myself.

#bg3 #thoughts about media #I actually love all combinations between any of the guys and lae or karlach. all very good pairings. #honestly hard to choose a fave... but I do quite like wyll & lae and star & karlach. #idk. something about a guy exiled by his own father and then alienated by fiend’s blood with a girl entirely outcast by her people. #in both cases they are punished despite doing the right thing all because they questioned someone of a lawful alignment. #and then star and karlach... both stripped of their autonomy and treated as nothing but a means to an end... #and the unique romance cutscenes they can get with each other!! actually so sweet. #but don’t get me wrong. I still do love all the other combos too. #and it goes without saying that lae & karlach is a great pair too. nothing like a warrior’s bond. #meanwhile my approval the m/m ships is...well. limited. #I love wyll & star together. I like gale & wyll. I am okay with halsin & any of the boys...but he has to be written better. #and by better I mean give him a little more character and make it less about sex only. because the game largely reduces him to sex alone. #no shart mention because I never take her anywhere unless I have to. #sorry. I do not hate her but she just isn’t interesting to me. #and although there’s writing to acknowledge shartstarion as a possible pair. #I think it’s the worst companion/companion pair and I refuse to think about it. #I mean seriously. it’s a combination of two polyamorous bisexuals and yet the pair feels heterosexual. #please don’t to that to my darling vampire. let him be princess carried by the hot warrior gals.

Your name is Jin Ling and today your crazy uncle has decided to be mad in Exciting New Directions and there is nothing that you can do to stop him because he has the power of God and anime Hanguang-jun on his side.

#mdzs #watched cql and now watching the animated version straight after #instructions for the caring of Jin Ling 1. #never let him go anywhere without uncle supervision #that kid is soooo lucky to have the yiling patriarch as his one of his many uncles #he has no idea #everywhere he goes his uncle the yiling patriarch is saving him #Hanguang-jun is there #he is beginning to have the sneaking suspicion that Hanguang-jun is also his uncle now but he is too afraid to ask #technically mo xuanyu goes sane (is now wei wuxian who can be a bit of a dick but is more or less mentally sound) #while literally all of jin ling's other uncle's start having mental breakdowns #your name is jin ling and you are being force-fed the most horrible porridge

Absolutely LOSING it. everyone in the camp spent the whole party raking me over the coals for having plans with Gale later tonight, Lae'zel graphically explained to me that I'd have a better night with her (and then said it was fine, actually, because she'd just show Wyll what she was talking about) and then Gale ??? was surprised ?? at the suggestion of romance ?? EVERYONE in the camp knew but him, which tracks and also is one of the funniest things I've experienced in my life

#lae'zel telling me what she'd do to me? moment of my life #if only we could we a Squad without the S #WAIT also astarion stopped me to be like ''i've never been a hero before. i hate it'' and then came onto me #but we have never once spent a day out of camp with each other it was SO funny #''look at all those goblins you killed'' he killed none. he was not there. he never goes anywhere #rosie plays video games poorly #squad without the s

You're disgusting

…Oh?

Is it something I’ve done, or…?

Ah I see. Being Jewish and Israeli is truly unforgivable, isn’t it.

#ngl this may be the first hate message i’ve ever gotten on tumblr in my life. i did wonder how i was so lucky to avoid it until now #if it wasn’t for that context and the extent of the rising jew hate online i wouldn’t have assumed anon was antisemitic. #but i do believe i’ve always done my best to exist in good faith- here and anywhere. #anon- i hope we’ve never interacted before. because if we have and you went on anon just to send this… it’s somehow so much sadder #of course this goes without saying but i’m always open to constructive criticism. this just isn’t it. #without context i’m just a random jew on the internet. this does not promote your proclaimed cause.

i don't usually bother to vent but augh feeling a bit cruddy

#feeling lonely #but like in an OC to OC interaction one-on-one sense #i have so many characters that just sort of sit there as a weird curio but never utilized #i've tried reaching out but it never goes anywhere or gets ignored #it's probably just The Hormones being shitty but yeah; feels like shit rn #literally impossible to address without it coming across as 'pay attention to meeee' either

It's been a couple of weeks since I watched The Perfect Game, but I'm still reeling from the fact that one of the best Catholic priest portrayals I've ever seen onscreen was played by Cheech Marin.

Can't wrap my head around it. Actual Cheech (of 'and Chong' fame) playing a kindly, lovable, devout Catholic priest who serves as mentor and friend and role model to this team of baseball-playing boys who take their faith seriously. He blesses the boys before every game. Teaches them doctrine while still encouraging their love of baseball. The faith is just part of their very human lives. I didn't think we could see it on-screen and especially never would have expected that casting.

#my 'i wish we saw good christian portrayals in media' post has been going around again #so i feel it's only right to mention that i found a good one #i think it may be a christian movie company so maybe it doesn't count #but the fact that i'm questioning it means that the movie doesn't feel like a hokey christian film which deserves points #as a film it's a very rough start and i don't understand why the mc has a southern accent #there's a subplot about the mc's lack of faith that never really goes anywhere #but once it finds its feet it's a pretty fun film #i legitimately got invested #laughed at several jokes #it was a random pick and i fully expected to abandon it as garbage within half an hour but i'm glad i didn't #the scene where the boys refuse to play without their blessing healed years of scars from bad movie religion portrayals #it's not great cinema but it was a fun time and i'd watch it again #catholic things

every man reminds me of every other man in at least one way. this is so bad because I am trying to forget so many of them and they keep coming up everywhere in other men

#my posts #I hate working on men too like there's no point. It's a waste of your life and energy to try and make a man better than what he is #but God it is tiring to see all the men you love and care about acting in the same shitty insufferable ways #tbh I don't know how anybody can put up with men and yet every woman I know does so all the time #T_T women are so strong we could kick men's asses if we all stopped trying to fix them all the time #Seriously I want to become a shrewd woman when it comes to interacting with men but I'm always tricked by the mirage of their humanity #I will find myself trying to reason with even the dumbest most arrogant of men #and there's never even a point it never goes anywhere. wish I could live my entire life without having to meet anymore

signing my legal name like ohohoh they want my super secret identity name?? you want that one?? hehehe they are so bamboozled. they get the fake name :)

I do think there is a very real issue and a conversation that needs to be had about this phenomena in disabled spaces where things quickly become disabled people with physical disabilities vs disabled people without physical disabilities (but even that isn't quite right, since that concept almost immediately always becomes visibly physically disabled people vs invisibly disabled people, physicality being irrelevant for the latter group)

#there should be solidarity not competition #and there will never be solidarity if each group cannot understand the problems of the other #solidarity will never happen if physically disabled folks refuse to acknowledge that wishing one's invisible disabilities were visible is a #very real and valid feeling invisibly disabled people often have #and if invisibly disabled people (esp those without physical disabilities) refuse to acknowledge that they can traverse the world easier #than people who are visibly physically disabled #and that they need to be there to back up visibly disabled folks when there are accessibility issues and discrimination #that they dont personally experience because they're not visibly disabled and/or physically disabled #I want to be involved in disability conversations in cri/ppl/epu/nk and m/adpu/nk spaces but both are so shitty to each other all the time #^typed so strangely because I do Not need this to be in those tags and hopefully that'll achieve that #and neither feels safe for me as someone who fits in both and is capable of compassion for people who are not exactly as disabled as me #sunny speaks #obviously neither are safe for me as a radqueer either but yknow. that goes without saying #there is very nearly no space ever anywhere that will be safe for me as a radqueer

hey guys so uhhh folks keep going back and forth between will being a baby or will being a bad*ss and i'm just so tired of it.......

like he is so much more nuanced than either one... (if you're going to read, please read the whole thing! thank you!!)

there are the baseline observations that will is quiet, sensitive, maybe a little shy; he's sweet and loyal and incredibly selfless; in addition, he's frequently a victim of terrible circumstances, with unfortunately little agency to fight for himself. none of these observations are objectively incorrect, even if they're just a fraction of the observations that can be made.

some fans flanderize how shy and sweet will is, framing him as a cute crybaby in need of protection (which is ironic, as will canonically hates when people treat him like that). to them he's a sad gay boy, a soft little angel with teary doe eyes; they attribute a stereotypical femininity to him, a helplessness, making him a fragile damsel in distress. these fans take the canon aspects of will's personality and warp them, not only making them larger than life but also romanticizing them.

an opposing interpretation of will seemingly came about in opposition to "baby will" - many fans were reasonably unhappy with this belittling take on him, and so highlighted other aspects of his personality.

great, right? it'd be nice for people to perceive will as a whole person as opposed to a list of stock traits... it'd be nice for people not to ignore character traits of his that don't align with their perception of his character...

but alas, these fans traded in "baby will" for "bad*ss will" - a take i don't like either.

"bad*ss will" comes in two varieties: bad*ss villain will and bad*ss hero will. the latter is better than the former, but not by much. both involve will being uncharacteristically violent and confident, standing up for himself in a way that often involves firearms.

before delving into either of these varieties i should point out that yes, will isn't just a sweet shy little boy. he's incredibly brave and incredibly resilient, able to survive the upside down for a week and stand up to the mind flayer - and yes, he canonically knows how to operate a gun. will is also shown to be stubborn at times; he's an annoying little brother, perfectly willing to point out how his siblings have no friends; he also does curse, even if that cursing is nothing compared to the constant swearing of his friends. will's a strong kid. i can't accept "baby will" because he simply isn't a baby.

...but does that make him a bad*ss?

some people really want will to stand up for himself in st5, to finally have agency, to fight back against everything that's harmed him; i completely understand that.

some people think that will should become the villain in st5, getting revenge on the people in his life who have demeaned him, neglected him, and bullied him. they think that will has been through so much that he'll snap, his kindness being broken down by pain. they want will to be a villain, a tortured soul with a traumatic backstory who deserves to give everyone the hell he got condemned to - they want him to be a bad*ss villain.

others think that will should become the hero in st5, getting revenge on the upside down for ruining hours life and the lives of his loved ones. they want to see him confidently wielding a gun against vecna, unfazed by the circumstances that would've caused him to run and hide in his younger years. they want will to rise up from adversity and stop being the victim - they want him to be a bad*ss hero.

what really bugs me about these interpretations is that they completely gloss over the aforementioned observations of will being gentle and cautious - even though they're true. saying that will is timid, that will is kind, or that will is scared is not the same as saying he's a baby - because being timid, kind, or scared doesn't make you weak. after all, there is no bravery without fear.

all of these bad*ss whatever wills are conjured up only after scouring off any trait picked up be "baby will" truthers, instead favoring vague notions of will's "sass" or the fact that he can operate a gun. they make will completely out-of-character all for the sake of a fantasy in which the victim miraculously becomes confident and powerful. yes, i want will to gain confidence, but nothing i've seen contributes any ideas about how that would happen - especially considering how in st4 will's self-esteem was as low as ever, tearing up when his best friend and brother say they care about him. if he's that surprised that they love him you can't seriously expect him to suddenly love himself.

not to mention how a lot of this "bad*ss will" stuff revolves around will using a gosh darn shotgun. the only thing being addressed is the fact that there is an association between will and the accursed weapon, and the fact that he has aimed it at an upside down monster before - while completely sidestepping the trauma the gun carries with it. will only learned how to use it because of lonnie's homophobic coercion, and only actually dared to use it when scared half out of his mind by an interdimensional stalker in his garden shed. in no world could will ever be slinging a gun casually, confidently, suavely - if he's going to be aiming the gun at vecna (which he would only do if completely necessary) he's going to be anything but calm while doing so. if you wanted that, you already have nancy gosh darn wheeler. (will does not need to be your girlboss.)

my point in saying this is that will is kind. he's stubborn. he's brave. he's hesitant. he's sarcastic. he's sweet. he's shy. and none of that is contradictory. will is a character, sure, but he's complex; if you dislike will's corners being rounded off so he can be called a baby, you have to understand why i dislike will's curves being sharpened so he can be called a bad*ss. i want will to triumph, of course i do, but i want it to be him triumphing. his whole self.

will was the victim. and he can be a hero. but he shouldn't need to be a different person too.

#stranger things #will byers #st5 #wise words from will #just for the record i'm not angry at anyone for drawing will with a gun #the potential of him reclaiming that symbol of stereotypical masculinity is something that can certainly be explored #and i'm not against him shooting vecna to be completely honest #i just think that because of the 'bad*ss will' idea forming in opposition to 'baby will' it's often done without much tact #without acknowledging how much he'd need to recover before he could gain even a fraction of the confidence people are ascribing to him #i don't really think will could ever be that confident. he could in no way be cool as a cucumber in this type of situation #even if he isn't actively afraid he could never be... posing hotly with a shotgun so mike can admire him?? idk it's not my fanart hhghhghh #y'know i'm just glad most 'bad*ss will' people want him to be a hero and not a villain #because people who think will would genuinely be a villain and would genuinely want to harm people drive me insane. i hate that so so much #if you think 'will should be the hero and he should shoot vecna' then i don't actually mind that much #it's when you start turning him into nancy 2.0 that it goes south for me #he can be a hero and he can have a gun but he will never be hot or a bad*ss or a girlboss while doing so #he will be shaking trembling crying saying to vecna 'i won't let you ruin anyone else's lives like your ruined mine! etc' before shooting #i want him to stand up for himself. but standing up for yourself does not mean you have to be fearless #shaking my head did we all just forget that el's strength comes from her emotion. from her love #why should will's strength come from anywhere else #he is sensitive!!! stop treating that like an antithesis to strength!!!!!! good grief #will byers shaky with the gun. i rest my case #also i hope you appreciate the dustin meme. i find it unreasonably funny

I decided to go into the flower door! The inside wasn’t like the rest of the factory, it looked like the inside of a dollhouse! Boogie Bot hitched a ride in my backpack 🎒, he was so excited! He wanted to see Poppy so badly! I was playing Hide n seek again with the others, so hopefully it will be a while before they think to look for me here… I still feel super bad about lying to Huggy and the others… but I have to know. What is behind this door?

When we looked around, it was pretty empty, there were closets around but there was nothing inside them. Then Boogie and I came across another door, we opened it. And behind it, has got to be one of the most prettyful dolls I’ve ever seen. She seemed to be asleep inside this case. All of the sudden, Boogie got out of my backpack. He started hopping up and down yelling excitedly, “Poppy! Poppy! Poppy! It’s you! I’m here! I’m right here! It’s me! It’s Boogie!” So this was Poppy!

She’s so prettyful! I knocked on the glass, seeing if she would wake up… she didn’t… then I remembered what Lisa and She told me about sleeping people and how it would be rude to wake them up. But Boogie told me to open the case… so I did. Poppy opened her eyes and looked really shocked to see someone here. I hope she’s not mad at me for waking her up.

Before I could say hi, Boogie tackle hugged her and started crying. “POPPY!” He said, “Oh thank Elliot Ludwig! You’re alright! I missed you!! We all missed you!” Poppy was pretty shaken up, but she smiled and hugged Boogie back. “I missed you too Boogie!”

Lisa and She says there’s something that’s not right about her. But if Boogie trusts her, and if the others trust her, than I will too. Poppy likes having tea parties and she likes to stay clean. Her eyes look a little funny though, they look so real! Poppy is super thankful to me for letting her out. She keeps saying that he keeps putting her back… a big bully of the factory. I wonder who she’s talking about.

About time that Poppy got into this picture huh?! Now all the happy times are about to come to an end with the things she will attract… was Lelu right to let Poppy out? Or should she have just left her there? Who is coming next?

Stay tuned~
