Eddie posts a Tiktok where he’s speaking like an old boxing announcer, “Ding, ding, ding, it looks like we got a new hobby in the house. What do you have to say, sir?”
Eddie flips the camera around to Steve, his ball of yarn, and awkwardly held crochet hook. He shoves his hand in Steve’s face like it’s a microphone and Steve leans in like it’s real when he says, “My doctors says this is good for reducing memory loss.”
“Have you lost any memories?”
“How would I know that?”
“Touché,” Eddie says. “Will you make me a hat.”
“I will make you a very long chain because I don’t know how to make a second row.”
the number of times I’ve followed a tiktok fic rec link only to find out the account has me blocked on tumblr is…higher than I thought it would be, that’s for sure.
It just occurred to me that the academia aesthetic will be less likely for the new characters because they’re no longer in the academics, they’re in government and I think that is the true tragedy. Sure I’m totally for creepy motherfuckers in suits, but what about the brown cardigans!? The glasses chains?!?! People might not draw glasses chains on these new people. 🥺 in the show I associate with glasses chains.
