What do you think is Steve’s favorite food/meal to eat?

this is going to be a lot more in depth that what you're asking for SJFVK but i have a headcanon about this <3

i feel like steve lived off of takeout and tv dinners for the first 18 years of his life because as he said plenty of times, his parents were never home to cook or to teach him how to cook. so after many years of that, he grew to absolutely despise eating out and eventually just like. would make himself a sandwich or something at home.

BUT, post s2 i have no doubt that dustin invited steve over for dinner (per his mom's request) at some point to thank him for driving him around everywhere. his mom probably made something basic like, spaghetti and meatballs or something like that, but it was homemade and they all sat down to eat the meal as a family, which is something he hadn't experienced in years. the sight would probably nearly bring him to tears, and the food would probably taste better than anything he'd ever put into his mouth before, just because he was around people who cared enough to actually make him something and not just heat it up in the microwave

in conclusion, steve's favorite food is anything homemade that's eaten with family (or found family) around a dinner table where they can all laugh and have conversation while eating <3

Lol I know you’re talking about it a lot now since you did that unpopular opinion. But I so agree!! Their scenes together are cute but at the same time I love the dynamics in this show cuz they’re not afraid to get complicated in the show. So showing the discomfort/hostility between them would be such an interesting thing. Also like the reason Robin and Steve work so well together is because they’re so similar!! Robin has a dry sense of humor that would bother Nancy but Steve is able to bounce of off it. Even when Steve and Robin weren’t completely friends it was obvious that they had something there. They had affection and the teasing was in a very friend type of way!! Steve and Robin are so similar that a good majority of the problems Nancy had with Steve could also convert also to Robin. Like Nancy had a problem with Steve pretending being normal and ignoring the life changing events that they went through which was kind of what happened with Robin. Like Steve and Robin coped in their humorous ways and trying to find a silver lining in those situations which Nancy did find annoying soo

!!! this is a great take. there's a reason (really multiple reasons) why nancy and steve did not work out, not just their differing responses to barb's death. nancy is just a very different person from the whole rest of the cast in a very fundamental way. there's a reason why she wasn't friends with any of them before the series started, and they outright show us in s4 that they're not actually romantically compatible. steve (and jonathan, actually) are both family oriented people, and nancy really isn't. she loves her family, but she isn't devoted to them like jonathan or yearning for that bond like steve. all three of them want more from their life than they currently have, but in very different ways. when you break it down into the fundamental aspects of characterization (values, morals, what they want and what they'll do to get that, etc), steve and jonathan are much more compatible with each other than either of them are with nancy. which isn't a bad thing or shows that nancy is bad or anything. she's just very representative of the working woman of the 80s. they're just not right together.

this carries over into nancy and robin's relationship. robin and steve are besties. robin and steve have chemistry from the get-go, and it doesn't go away when you realize it isn't actually romantic. they're always playful and comfortable together, even before they realize it. both of their scenes with nancy feel stiff and awkward. it isn't personal, it's just that not everyone is meant to be together.

robin and steve deserved to have more quality, substantial screentime together about more than romance. and nancy deserves friends that share her values. they're just different.

#i did NOT intend for this to be such a long response i was just gonna be like god ur so right and then i started reallyyyyy thinking lmao #answered #steves-ozzy-moment

Hey so I’ve seen you posting the supernatural/stranger things parallels and damn I didn’t realize there were so many. So thank you for pointing those out!! also I’m kind of curious do you think the st main characters would get along with spn main characters? Idk what seasons to base this off of but overall thinking about the main characters journeys. Like do you think the party/teens/adults from st would overall like team free will? Damn this is so open ended so like hopefully you don’t get confused by it! If you do just tell me to narrow it down or something! Have a great day/night!

Hmmm this is such an interesting question that could be approached in so many different ways. Short answer is I think they would like each other in a Self-Recognition Through The Other way. These guys are all massive dorks at heart and it's all about loving your (found) family and breaking cycles and challenging constructions of deviation/monstrosity/otherness. Long version is:

- A concept: ca 1985-87 John Winchester rolls into Hawkins with baby Sam and Dean in tow to investigate the Happenings. He tries to talk to Hopper the same way Murray did with similar results. Joyce/Hopper somehow find out that he's basically dragging his 2 small children along with him on a monster hunt and leaving them alone for extended periods and report him to the appropriate authorities. Joyce Byers in danger of adopting more children. (On that note I think Hopper and Bobby would make excellent friends. Hopper is basically if you combined Bobby Singer and Jody Mills into one person. Parental figure/adoptive parent, trauma over loss of a child).

- On another similar note I have a lot of feelings about the similarities/differences between Sam+Dean and Will+Jonathan. Parentification of older siblings and snarky queer-coded siblings and growing up in poverty and absent fathers whose presence is at least partially remediated by the presence of unconditionally loving/present parents/parental figures. Forming an identity around adherence/rebellion against that absent father vs. "you shouldn't like something just because people say you're supposed to". Healthy vs. Unhealthy sibling dynamics. Sam Winchester running away to college to escape his father vs. Jonathan Byers not going away for college bc he doesn't feel like he can leave his family.

- El and Cas and Jack would absolutely love each other so much. Just a bunch of Weird Girls (gn, affectionate) learning the intricacies of humanity/society while learning to see their value outside of their power. Finding out who they are and building a family that loves them for exactly that regardless of their usefulness. They would be best friends.

- Nancy "Unauthorized Investigative Journalism" Wheeler would LOVE Sam "So Get This" "The Lore" Winchester. She would become a hunter just so she could put on a little disguise and tag along for Monster of the Week.

- this is more of a rambling about thematic content but. Spn on the dichotomy of monstrosity/humanity (hunter/monster lifestyle vs. White Picket Fence) and ST as a commentary on forced conformity. What is "normal" and who is a "freak"? Who is the authority on the acceptable level of deviance? White picket fences that hide unhappy marriages. Ending up Just Like Your Parents. Characters who are desperate to live a normal life vs. characters who rebuke it. Finding a home in embracing your authentic self and slowly building a found family of people who love and understand you.

- on that note, Karen Wheeler meeting Mary Winchester would be. We don't have time to unpack ALL of that. Trapped in a life of normalcy to conform to what was expected of you vs. to rebel and escape the life expected of you. The baby is crying and your husband is asleep in his armchair. Is this your life? Who are you, really? I think it would break them.

- Dean "secret NerdDork" "besties with a lesbian supergeek" Winchester would vibe with stobin and eddie and the party so hard if they got him out of his shell.

I am accepting constructive criticism on this one so feel free to chime in

A few of my unpopular opinions that people would have my head for are that I think they only gave Will having a crush on Mike cuz the fandom wanted it. I never honestly saw him as actually having a crush on Mike cuz we barely saw Will in season 1 and in season 2 half the time he was being possessed and trying to deal with his trauma. And in season 3 Will more had a problem with his friends taking more value/time in their romantic partners/feelings than any thing else. And prioritizing their romantic relationships over friendships. Another thing is: shipping made this fandom go down hill and people should stop. Idk fandom has centered way too much shit around shipping and it gives me weird vibes. The only ships that exist for me are lumax and jopper. Along with that mileven could be cute and nice if the writers took the care to write their relationship problems and resolve their problems. But anyway shipping has become too central now to the fandom and i think it really needs to be toned down by a lot. Also hope you have a good day :)

I low-key agree on this? I don’t actually see where Will shows he has a crush on Mike tbh. But anywayssss. You have a good day too <3

For the colors of Dustin I see him as yellow and green. Cuz I think that was his thinking cap or the camp know where colors. I may be wrong but I believe yellow was in a few of his caps or shirts.

But also for the other character thing that you made: Will, Erica, Lucas, and Dustin <3

ohhh yellow would've been good! i can see that. but yeah he's firmly green to me which doesn't work bc lucas is also green and more strongly green imo

thank you omg!!!! that's so sweet! i'll start our convo rn: what was your favorite dynamic this season & why?

You’re welcome!!! Lol I know I already said it but the bracelets are so pretty!! Also lol totally not related but I wanted to tell you since I’m sending an ask. I had asked you a long time ago if I could write a fic based on a post you wrote and I had written that I was writing that for you so I could make sure who to tag but I wanted to let you know that I still haven’t finished creating that fic of Steve constantly asking mr Clarke a bunch of why questions. At first it was because of finals but eventually I lost motivation but I def want to continue it soo. Idk if you completely forgot that I asked but like I feel bad not saying anything to you since it’s also been so long since I asked. I think it’s been 2-ish months or something which doesn’t feel right. Sorry that was out of left field but I also really wanted you to know since I felt bad.

omg i didn’t forget! i was actually thinking abt that the other day!! don’t feel bad at all!! please take your time with writing. i always forget that writing is supposed to be fun, and that it isn’t based on how much you write or when you write. sometimes you have a great idea for a fic and it just can’t come out immediately - that’s okay!! write when you want to write and what you want to write. you got this! just take your time and be patient with yourself 💖 please do tag me when you get to it! i know it’s going to be so cute!!! 💞

One day before Steve can even tell his students which page in their textbooks turn to, he sees a hand shoot up from the back of the class. He sighs internally and rubs at his eyes before saying, “Yes, Jeremy?”

Jeremy: Can I stream today’s lesson for Thomas? He doesn’t want to get behind.

Steve, taking too long to process what the hell he was asking: …okay? As long as it’s not a distraction. Let Thomas know that we are all hoping him a speedy recovery.

That’s how Eddie ends up lounging on Dustin’s couch, watching a live stream of his husband teach a bunch of kids about slope intercept. Also because Dustin is streaming on twitch, how some people ended up watching Eddie watch Steve teach a class.

Ten minutes into the lesson, Ozzy gets up from his bed by Steve’s desk and starts pacing around the room. He circles around Steve and paws at his shoes, but Steve barely acknowledges it. Eddie says aloud: He’s going to have a seizure.

Ozzy tugs on Steve’s pant leg and whines a little but all Steve does is pat him on the head and distractedly say: Not now, Oz.

Eddie: Jesus H Christ. Listen to the dog, Steve. That’s why you have him.

Eddie, typing in the chat: Tell him to sit down

Jeremy must have raised his hand because Steve says “We’ll do questions after this section” and turns back to the board. Eddie swears.

Dustin: Dude, just call him.

Eddie does and you can hear Steve’s phone ring over the live stream because he never remembers to put it on silent. Steve answers it when he sees that it’s Eddie and before he can say anything, Eddie says, “Sit down. You’re about to have a seizure.”

Steve, in the stream, looked alarmed and confused when he repeated back, “I’m about to have a seizure?”

Eddie doesn’t really know what happened for a while after that because Steve, for some reason, hung up on him and the live stream ended the moment he said the word ‘seizure.’

#how jarring would it be for someone to randomly call you and say you’re going to have this medical emergency and then you do #Steve has a bad habit of ignoring his body’s and Ozzy’s warning when he’s in the middle of something #he’s gotten better at not doing that but he has his moments #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson #ozzy the service dog

I'm easing my worries about Steve dying by reminding myself he's probably just going to turn into a vampire or develop Upside Down cancer from the bat bites

#he's fine #everything will be FINE #steve harrington #st4 spoilers #st4 speculation #killing him now feels anticlimactic #i'd die for nancy too but it feels too simplistic a character arc #vol. 2 teaser has them both alive and kicking #so if he dies he dies in s5 #after a long battle with mind flayer/vecna/slowly turning into a demon #stranger things #and like why make a such a thing about the bat bites/rabies/ozzy moment #and show us something that hasn't happened to a character before without exploring it #that's not how you handle a main character

[stevesnailbat]

Idk why I’m putting this here but whatever. Another thing with the Steve ozzy moment is the fact that there is a high chance it was cgi (idk if that’s true but like it looks like it) so while it looks badass to us joe must’ve been like what the fuck especially when he had to hit the bat constantly against the floor. Like it must have been so awkward to film!

oh yes im sure most of it was CGI which makes it even more insane because he’s just what? throwing a lil prop around and then they run in and give him some fake blood at the end of it to spit out ? i imagine joe just not questioning anything anymore because of everything he’s gone through in st but like….the bat is another level to me 😭 and how many takes !! because i would not enjoy doing that over and over if i were him

#asks #steves-ozzy-moment

[horrorsteve]

Ohh I love what you said in response to that. Also I 100% agree like they’ve showed that Nancy has different goals from Steve and Jonathon. And while Robin is determined it’s also not established that she has certain wants or goals. We get no hint of Robin’s dreams or hopes while Nancy has specific goals for herself! Omg yes their convos do feel stiff!! The only few that don’t feel that stiff are the ones at the asylum/pennhurst!! Like with Robin and Steve it’s just simple and they’re so comfortable around one another that Nancy and robin’s friendship looks clunky! Also omg you’re so right Steve and Robin need to have more conversations than just romance. Now that I’m realizing it pretty much all of their convos had something to do with romance!! Also lol this seems so short but you said everything perfectly sooo

ah tysm <3 i’m just glad that i’m not the only one that felt that way about it. i’m always down to discuss these characters

Okay lol doing this before tomorrow and tonight so I’ll make this short and sweet since we’re all anxious. Anyway yeah spn has a weird thing with the whole what is a monster/supernatural force vs what’s not and yeah it also really pisses me off. Omg yeah they would totally try to hide El from Dean, Sam and etc. like hopper was majorly focused on keeping her safe and although everyone was upset about it they seemed to take hopper hiding El alright (at least from what we’ve seen of the show) probs cuz they understood why he did it. So like no one would even want to tell the brothers about El especially cuz Erica didn’t even seem to know anything about her when she was legit Lucas’s sister so like strange men coming into their home town would send alarm bells going in their heads. Especially when Sam and Dean would do their whole you can trust us thing. I forgot that they just wanted to take dart to hopper but yeah even when they had no idea what dart was they didn’t seem that threatened by it. They only didn’t like how he looked (which is understandable and they also touched him which was like a bugger as Lucas put it) and then they became alarmed because of Will telling them what had happened. Also lol everyone has their own secret good spn so understandable. Honestly yeah Sam and Dean would have a crisis over that but I think they would also have a crisis over not having Mary as their mom. Cuz a huge part of why Will and Jonathan are so close is also cuz of their mom and Joyce is fiercely protective over them. Also lol so glade you agreed with my takes this was fun having this convo. Have fun or an anxious time watching st tomorrow or whenever you’re able too!!

Yes to all!! Also I just realized that if tfw went to hawkins and saw the vecna stuff they would probably assume it was angels bc of the burned-out eyes thing.

And I'm late on this but thank you!! It was a very fun but definitely an anxious time hahahajajajnaajajj

hi! reader doesn’t like kids at all, but somehow eddie’s child is just different and the cutest sweetest child who warms their heart

✶ ┄ MAYDAY ! [ the beginning ]

summary: when steve harrington brings you as a plus-one to a munson birthday party, he forgets to tell you it's for eddie's four-year-old, maeve. (1.8k)

pairing: dad!eddie munson / f!reader

tags: strangers to lovers (eventually), slow burn, mutual pining, idiots in love, meet ugly-ish, fluff, girl dad eddie munson™, r is not used to being around kids (and it shows), baby blurb turned spin-off universe <3

When Steve Harrington invites you to a birthday party, he fails to mention it’s for a four-year-old. 

The tiny trailer is decked out in decoration. A fusion of black and rainbow, of bats and unicorns, of vampires and Tickle Me Elmo — like no one could land on a singular theme. 

Steve guides you into the home with a golden hand on the small of your back, his other clutching a sparkly black bag with Count von Count’s face on it. You stop very suddenly in your tracks. Happy 4th Birthday, Maeve! reads a handpainted sign draped beneath the ceiling.

You become very hyperaware of the whiskey bottle in your right hand, something you figured would be the most sufficient thing to gift someone you’d never met before. You just hadn’t expected the stranger to be a child.

“What the fuck, Steve?” you bite under your breath, glaring at the boy beside you. “I thought you said this was your friend’s birthday party?”

“Maeve is my friend,” he answers with a stupid shrug. “Though, to be fair, I did say it was my friend’s kid’s birthday party.”

He most definitely hadn’t.

“What the hell— I brought booze!”

“That’s okay,” assures a wild-haired boy with a pretty pink grin as he walks up to the two of you. The friend in question. 

Eddie Munson wears a silver ring on each finger and a thick leather jacket despite the warming spring season. His laughter sounds like sunshine. His smile is bright enough to give you a goddamn sunburn.

“Maeve’s been getting presents all day— It’s about time someone got somethin’ for me,” he jokes.

You grimace while the two boys laugh. “Sorry…” you murmur as you pass him the bottle, shrinking inside yourself in an attempt to hide from the moment. I’m never letting Steve convince me to leave the house again, you think to yourself.

Eddie shrugs. “Don’t worry about it. Seriously. I’ll go stick this in the kitchen— Make yourself at home.”

Your racing heart quells only slightly. He must be more of a good guy than Steve made him out to be, if he’s willing to keep you around after you brought booze to his daughter’s party. Though, you’ll contend that you were only half at fault for this.

Steve bites back a chuckle as he walks you to the back door, standing with you on the little wooden deck lined with sparkly streamers. There’s a picnic table off in the distance, covered in a bat-patterned cloth and set with Sesame Street-themed utensils. A small crowd of teenagers gather around it, and a couple of their parents, you figure.

The spring breeze only half soothes your burning skin.

“See?” he lilts, trying not to laugh and failing. “He likes you already—”

You swat his chest with a less than kind hand. 

“Ow!”

“I’m gonna fucking kill you, Harrington, I swear to—”

“What’s your favorite animal?” a tiny voice asks from behind you, a smidge too loud and confusing their R’s with W’s.

You look over your shoulder, face flooded with horror. A kid with wild chocolate hair stands at less than half your height, wearing the tiniest Ozzy Osbourne shirt you’ve ever seen beneath a rainbow tutu. You don’t know what to say, so you just blink at it for a moment — at her.

“Hey, Maeve,” Steve greets with a curt wave.

The girl beams, missing her very front tooth. “Hi, Uncle Steve!”

“Wha— Huh?” you stammer mindlessly. ‘Cause you’re not exactly the best at talking to people your own age, let alone to children. They’re too honest. And too loud. And beyond still feeling like a kid yourself most days, you don’t have anything in common with them.

“What’s your favorite animal?” Maeve repeats in the same inflection, smiling until a dimple appears in her freckled cheek. “Mine’s a Hefflelump.”

“Hef… Hefflelump?” you echo quietly, only vaguely registering Steve’s laughter as he disappears through the screeching screen door, leaving you all alone. You’re definitely killing him for this.

“Yeah… From Winne the Pooh!” she says like it’s obvious.

“Oh… Okay…”

“What’s yours?”

You stumble over your words to find an answer. “Um… Uh… I don’t— I don’t know…”

“Everyone has a favorite animal,” she scoffs like some kinda critic with a speech impediment. She tilts her chin to her chest and peers up at you with a pair of doe eyes, so brown they’re almost black. You shift your weight on your feet, visibly uncomfortable beneath her unwavering stare.

“Maybe like a… A blobfish, or something?” you shrug.

Her tiny face screws in disgust. “Gross,” she spits.

You flinch. “What? Why is that gross?” you retort, crossing your arms over your chest, more defensive than you’d like to admit.

“They’re so ugly,” Maeve giggles.

“Why?” you squint. “‘Cause they look differently than we do?”

“No!” she laughs, loud and golden, just like her father. “’S ‘cause they’re so slimy.”

“Well— You— You’re slimy,” you stammer.

The wild-haired girl grins with all her baby teeth (well, besides the front one, anyway). “You’re slimy!” she echoes with a mischievous twinkle in her chocolate eyes.

The screen door squeals open again, the rusted hinges screeching in protest. “Who’s slimy?” a male voice questions from behind you, a smile audible in his voice.

“You are!” you and Maeve chorus at the same time. 

You whip your head around a second too late. Your heart drops to your ass when you find Eddie lingering in the doorway behind you. You stumble over your words while Maeve giggles. “Sorry! I thought— I thought you were Steve! I’m so sorry!”

A chuckle sputters from Eddie’s mouth. He’s nearly as grieved by it all as you are. “He just left,” he tells you with a lopsided smile, cocking his thumb over his shoulder. “I think he’s helping Wayne out front. They’re putting together Maeve’s d-o-l-l-h-o-u-s-e.”

His eyes flit upward as he tries hard to spell the word correctly. Upon your confused look, he says, “I can’t say it, or she’ll know what I’m talking about.”

“Right,” you nod.

Eddie crouches and holds his arms out for his daughter. Maeve’s tiny feet patter against the wooden deck as she rushes to him. He huffs at the weight of her — heavier than he remembers and getting bigger every day (which is weird ‘cause she was a newborn, like, a week ago). He grunts when he picks her up, propping her weight on his side.

“What were the two of you talkin’ about, then?”

“Blobfish!” she shouts with a beam.

Eddie breathes out a faint chuckle and turns to you. “She’s forcin’ you to pick a favorite animal, huh?” he wonders, then laughs a bit louder when you nod. “Yeah, she’s been doing that all day. It’s her new thing,” he says, nuzzling the tip of his nose into her curls. 

Realization seems to him then, and his brows furrow when he looks at you. His face, all twisted in confusion, is an exact replica of Maeve’s. 

“Wait— Your favorite animal is a blobfish?”

“That’s what I said!” the girl laughs.

You shift your weight on your feet and cross your arms over your chest. “I’m… feeling very judged in this moment…” you murmur under your breath, only half joking.

“I think that’s the most creative answer we’ve had yet, huh, Mae?” Eddie chuckles.

You scoff. “Well, I think Hefflelump’s pretty creative considering—”

The boy clears his throat, seeming to sense the rest of your sentence. His eyes widen in a lighthearted glare before he nods to the girl on his hip. Only then do you realize the words sitting on the tip of your tongue. You swallow them down immediately.

“Right…” you nod instead. “Nevermind…”

“Here—” Eddie huffs as he sets the girl down again. “—Go find Aunt Robin, alright? She’s probably decorating your cake as we speak.”

Maeve rushes off at the word cake, tottering on lanky, ungraceful legs. The two of you watch her go and linger in an awkward silence. Neither of you is quite sure how to make conversation without her there. You decide to start with an apology.

“I’m, uh, I’m sorry, by the way. Again,” you laugh awkwardly at yourself, scratching at the back of your neck. “I’m not… I’m not really… great with kids. If you couldn’t already tell.”

Eddie grins, pink and lopsided and pretty. You don’t feel deserving of the warmth swimming in his button eyes, glimmering beneath an early setting sun. “It’s okay. Seriously. You should’ve seen Robin and Steve the first time they met her— they were hopeless. And now they’re… Sort of alright, I guess.”

You force a faint chuckle. “Yeah, I’m— I’m just not used to being around them, I guess. I don’t even think I’ve talked to a kid her age since, like, elementary school.”

“I was the same way. ’Til I had Maeve and all…”

“Well, I couldn’t tell,” you assure him with a wavering smile. “You’re, like, a total pro. You’re great with her.”

He ducks his head to hide his blushing cheeks. The apples of them speckle warm and pink beneath the weight of your compliment. 

“Well… thank you,” he says, deflecting from your praise with that stupid, posh, D&D accent he always uses when he gets nervous. You don’t notice him grimacing at himself because you’re still stewing in your own embarrassment.

“And sorry for the booze, too. I seriously didn’t mean to bring— I mean, Steve didn’t even tell me that—”

“Stop apologizing,” Eddie chuckles warmly. “That part’s not your fault, alright? I don’t know if you know this or not, but your boyfriend’s a total idiot.”

Your face screws up. “Oh, he’s not— Steve’s not my boyfriend.”

The boy’s smile ebbs. “No?”

“No. No way!” you laugh before you mean to. “I’m pretty sure I’m just, like, his replacement best friend since Robin started dating Vickie.” 

Wide-eyed and distantly relieved, Eddie stammers like a teenage boy. “Oh. Right. That’s… That’s cool. Yeah.”

“Yeah…” you echo.

“Well, uh— I’m gonna see if Wayne wants any help,” he blurts despite knowing he’s been barred from doing handy work since he nearly drove a nail through his own finger. He just needs a way out, lest he keep stumbling over himself and lose all of his cool points with you. 

He saunters backward through the opened door and nearly trips over the frame.

You bite back a laugh. He forces a wavering smile. 

“But, um, I was thinkin’ about cracking open that bottle you brought. You know, after Maeve’s in bed and everything. If you— If you wanna hang around that long…”

The silence makes him as nervous as a teenage boy, all writhing and uncomfy in his skin. You nod in agreement, and his sparkling chest swells all over again. “Yeah,” you reply, lip quirked in a poorly hidden smile. “Sure. I’d— I’d like that…”

He smiles, all proud of himself. “Good. That’s… That’s good,” he stutters, then swallows hard and scurries off before you change your mind. 

Before he shuts the squealing screen door behind him, you hear Robin’s voice exclaim loudly from the kitchen. “What the hell’s a blobfish?!”

if u have any other ideas for hijinks these two idiots (and maeve) can get into, feel free to leave 'em here! (⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
