tw: vent, mental health discussion, bad parents, written in second person for some reason

hi.

let me set the scene for you. you, a 14 year old boy, have always struggled with people. they’re so complex and confusing and you hate most of them. you have two sisters, an older sister, the scapegoat and a younger sister, the naive one. and you. the golden child.

two mentally ill parents in the process of getting a divorce. you find yourself on your mother’s ‘side’. your father…is bad? he wasn’t involved in your life much, or so your mother tells you. you don’t remember your young childhood very well, honestly.

your mother….hm. your mother is a terribly insecure person, and was subject to some form of emotional abuser from your father, as she very frequently reminds you. she relies on you heavily. **heavily**. not just for helping with your siblings, but for…emotional support, often in the form of venting to you about your father. you have a tumultuous relationship, somewhat, at least. often very close, but it can turn harsh very quickly. your mother has few friends, and rarely leaves the house, making you one of her main forms of interaction and connection.

your father. your..father. you don’t know where to start with him, really. not like it’s a dramatic thing, you just….dont have much to say about him. apparently, he is an abusive person and a narcissist (to be clear, i am not a person who thinks ‘narc abuse’ should be a term that’s used). that’s what your mother says. and maybe he is. he probably is. but, as previously mentioned, not much of your childhood can be recalled, so you can’t be sure for yourself. he clearly favors your younger sister, and makes your mother and older sister out to be terrible people. where does that leave you? it’s subject to change. everyone always stays in those positions, but you. you fluctuate in his mind. sometimes he tries to keep you ‘on his side’ and sometimes he sees you as siding with your mother. you haven’t figured out why you were singled out. you may never.

so what is there to do? you are a mentally unhealthy teen who daydreams about violence and spends far too much of his life online and withdrawn. you want to change this, but you can’t. you just have to wait until you can leave your family, or at least distance yourself.

Ryuk makes his grand return and is brought up to speed with Light and L's immoral union. The date seems pretty successful~.

For @steddieas-shegoes and the @steddiemicrofic flash challenge! Happy birthday lovely!

Prompt: Birthday | Rating: M | Word count: 290 | CW: Semi-public sex

Sometimes, Steve wonders what people would think if they knew. If they were even aware that he - one of, if not the most popular guy at Hawkins High - was a bold faced liar.

If they knew that he exaggerates about his relationship with parents, that he plays up his King persona - but most importantly, he wonders what would happen if they knew the truth about his animosity with one Eddie Munson.

It started off genuine enough, sure, but he has a hard time pinpointing exactly when it all changed, when it slipped out of his control and landed him in Eddie's bed. 

Not that he's complaining about it.

Even now, as Eddie shoves two fingers into his mouth with a “Shush, baby. We don't want your lovely subjects to know what's going on, do we?”

Steve shakes his head and whimpers as the fingers push deeper, fully aware of the party still raging downstairs, of his fellow students filling his parents’ home. 

He should feel bad about ditching, considering it's his birthday that everyone is there for, but he just can't seem to drum up the guilt with Eddie's dick grinding against his prostate so perfectly.

“Are you sure, Stevie? I know you love it when I get possessive over you. Maybe I should stake my claim in a different way, hm? Maybe I should send the people's beloved birthday boy back downstairs with an ass full of cum.”

Steve whines and pushes his hips back, he's so fucking close. 

“They'd all see the wet spot on your jeans and wonder who got to tap this beautiful ass. Or maybe they already know. What d’you say, should we let everyone know exactly who owns you, pretty thing?”

#very loosely filling the brief #i wish i had time to do more but work has me so 🙃🙃🙃🙃 #i do cherish you though and i hope you had a great day!!! #steddie #steddie fic #joey writes #steddiemicrofic

Could you also upload that trans one piece timeline? It’s pretty neat!

sure !

if you ever wanted to get into one piece as a trans person, especially if it's for specific characters you've seen, heres a timeline of trans representation and how it's handled lol (as vague and spoiler free as possible)

#one piece #transgender #transphobia cw #it really goes from well intentioned but slighly misguided #to very bad and problematic #to really good and positive #the worst parts are brief in the grand scheme though but its something that helps to be prepared for #glad oda learned from it at least

the thing about eliot spencer as a character, right. the thing about him.

(and as always your mileage may vary on my analyses so if we disagree that's cool actually)

is that he is in fact a somewhat emotionally constipated idiot who is occasionally sensitive about his perceived masculinity and gets defensive about emotional intimacy around other men (largely hardison, who's much more comfortable expressing affection and embracing a softer kind of masculinity), but eliot displays enough emotional awareness and sensitivity and respect for women etc etc that anyone who's been subjected to that era of television will put on rose-tinted glasses without even looking twice.

(and he is, don't get me wrong, incredibly emotionally aware for a professionally punchy guy with enough trauma to sink the titanic. it still startles me to see.)

on top of which we have the layers and the accessories and the excellent hair with the secret braids and the way he barely has an ego and he's good with kids and protective of his team without taking it too far, and some of us never stood a fucking chance.

#eliot #eliot spencer #orig #further discussion in further tags #I'm being perhaps a little critical and there are other ways to read eg the fragile masculinity moments #but I Do think they were intended this way and largely come across this way #I'm quite happy playing with a fanon eliot who's better at this shit is the thing? it feels faithful enough to the original. #but this is something I'm chewing over in a rewatch and it's interesting so far #the fact that he pretty consistently respects women doesn't stop him from treating men and women differently y'know? #the fact that his bantering with hardison expresses affection and gets quite soft over time #doesn't stop him from pushing hardison away on a semi-regular basis. often physically. #the fact that the fandom unanimously decided he's an utter gentleman in matters of dating #doesn't quite negate the time he physically stopped aimee from getting away when he wanted to talk to her #though that's one I might disregard because it's so early and I think they hadn't quite figured out the characters then #and it was admittedly a brief moment followed by very consensual happenings #perhaps. honestly. eliot may be reflecting the attitudes of the show here. #which were very progressive for the time and are still startling on several fronts now but also showing definite signs of age #arguably fanon eliot (as I understand him) is eliot adjusted for inflation. as it were. #there's a lot going on here I'm having a normal amount of thoughts about it I'm. stopping now

I have sleeping Machete set as my lock screen specifically because it looks like his nose is pointing right at the time, and coffeshop Vasco set as my home screen because it looks like he's looking tenderly right at that chrome dino game widget

I'm a comedian, really

That's very cute actually • ^ •

#looking tenderly at the chrome dino game widget #answered #anonymous #I tend to cycle through various pieces of gift art of my characters #phone wallpapers are such a personal thing though #these days your phone is practically a part of you #it holds so much of your personal information and you take it everywhere #and every time you open it you briefly look at your lock/home screens #so whatever picture you have there is probably the image you see the most through the day #it's very flattering that someone somewhere has looked at my art and thought “yeah I want to look at this a hundred times” #even just for a brief time before they switch to something else

show don't tell (and how to apply it)

I know I write about this a lot, and maybe I should elaborate a little. "show, don't tell"—use description in your writing, rather than saying it outright. and I think the difference is, really, for the reader: whether they are in the story, or outside of it.

you know what we read for: to escape, to find a new world. but would you rather truly live the adventure, or skim through texts about it?

here it is, simply.

showing - describing, telling things to the reader without saying them outright.

telling - showing something to the reader without any fancy words.

and doing this, it makes the characters more real. tangible, not a fantasy.

but they don't need to be all the time. so when do you use it? an easy way could be to write it all out, the way you intend it to be. do you see the world felt, or a variation of it, scattered throughout the writing? try swapping out how they feel with description that shows the reader it. do you use adjectives such as "pretty", or "big"? they're variable in different situations. use metaphors, similes, to show us that's its' pretty.

and then send your writing to someone. to a friend, to a relative, for anyone but yourself to read it. you want them to think "oh, that's pretty", rather than you tell them, because how would they know? if they understand you intention, and if they feel something, you know you must be doing something right.

*though with all writing advice, I should say this doesn't apply to everyone! writing advice is advice, and that's all it is. excellent writers get by without applying this, and they get by with using this.

#this is a bunch of words glued together #and on all my posts with show don't tell there are always some people who can't relate #or they need different cues than just description! #I can't speak for them though but if you do have something to add #please go ahead this was very brief and I don't think it touched it enough #I can't for my life write enough though #lyralit #writerblr #creative writing #writers #writing #writblr #writers block #writing prompts #writing ideas #show don't tell #writing tips

We're all familiar with how most of the Star Trek shows have their dialogue in that somewhat formal stilted manner that plenty of people have poked fun at but also it kind of makes sense in an era of universal translators that people would make a habit of speaking clearly and avoiding slang/metaphors to ensure their points are well translated. I know that was never the intention (and a lot of newer trek shows go for more informal dialogue) but hm. Food for thought.

#like in my (brief) time of giving lectures and formal presentations i would default on clear formal speech to be the most clear #especially for people who have english as a second language #like its very possible that the years of using universal translators for everything just affected peoples' speech processes #(they should still be allowed to swear though) #i have way too many thoughts on the concept of a universal translator and how it functionally works #star trek writers accidentally canonized chompskyist universal grammar. thousands of linguists outraged. #tbh i prefer dw's universal translator better because somehow telepathy is a little more believable than magical mechanical translation #for languages youre just encountering #but its star trek's rules of magic so it gets a pass #star trek #headcanons #my posts

Forever obsessed with Tim Schafer calling Oleander a "really-strange-looking creature" when presented with this memory vault slide. I mean he's absolutely right

Look at this guy. He's ABSOLUTELY creaturelike

#if you're wondering where Tim said that -> #video titled “Psychonauts Vault Viewer - video archive edition” on Double Fine's YT channel #<- very interesting commentary in there if you're curious #though be warned the g-slur is used once but it's very brief because Tim quickly corrects himself afterward #<- video is 5 years old for context but yknow #psychonauts #coach oleander #morceau oleander

Me to my mom: My black rabbit's ears are turning white. She can't be going grey or anything because she's only three.

My mom: ... she's six.

Me: What? No she's not.

My mom: She was born in 2018.

Me: ...

Me: Which was three years ago.

Mom: ...

Me: Right...? 🥺

#time is a lie #anyways my bunnies are six years old #they're old 😭 #thankfully they've been in really good health all their lives #aside from them having a brief upper respiratory infection when they were babies #hopefully i can have them for a good few more years #the bunnies hate my fucking guts #but i really like them #they're so cute and fluffy #they don't like being touched though so i can't feel their fluff very often :( #but also i'm allergic to their fluff so maybe it's for the best lol

Actually, what about death and Hob finally meeting and sharing embarrassing stories about Dream?

I LOVE Hob meeting Death and being friends with Death. I'm pondering embarrassing stories about Dream, though... because I feel like Dream is actually a very easy person to hurt. Not in all cases; if someone he doesn't respect or who's a particular opponent of his criticizes or insults him he's just like "okay, whatever." Lucifer was like "you're powerless here" and kept ragging on him and Dream was just like "okay if you think so. you're wrong though <3" so he's not always fragile, he's generally pretty assured in his capabilities as Dream except in certain cases like failing to stop the first Dream vortex, 'letting' the Dreaming decay while he was imprisoned and what not.

I'm not sure it would be the same with people he loves and trusts. Hob even calling him lonely sent him running, which wasn't intended to be insulting but probably felt that way to Dream. So I'm not sure Dream would tolerate being made fun of very well, even if it was done fondly; I think it would probably sting more than anything. I honestly didn't even love the way Death poked at him in ep 6 (and I love Death) especially after he had just been through hell. Dream is very proud and under that kind of fragile when it comes to his core self, and this would all probably just hurt more than anything.

Funnily, I think Hob is the opposite -- he can take ribbing from anyone and just laugh it off. The ONLY person I think it would hurt from, actually, is Dream himself.

#maybe i'm just projecting because i personally don't like being embarrassed or made fun of even in jest 😅 #poor dream with his 'i must hold onto my dignity at all costs' versus his very loving but much more casual sister... #i think hob would clock it though. he's extremely perceptive about dream i mean he clocked dream's loneliness after like 5 brief meetings #ask #maelstroms-blog #thank you for sending in headcanons! sorry it took me so long to answer them #dreamling headcanons for emotional wellbeing

Awesome to see Capitals Legend Henrik Lundqvist coming to cheer the Caps on.

#Kind of amused that Ovi's goalie kink is still quite evident #Though honestly all the Caps were VERY thirsty for him in that brief window where he was one of them #That really remains a big What If scenario... his documentary should be interesting. #Alexander Ovechkin #Henrik Lundqvist #Washington Capitals

People who don’t like Xiao Lanhua are weak and won’t survive the winter.

#love between fairy and devil #honestly what is even annoying about her but ‘her voice’ #so she starts out immature? #so does he #in a way he’s even more so #it’s not his fault per se but it’s really not her fault either #she’s essentially been alone for most of her life #but she’s so funny and silly at the beginning and she’s so brave and stubborn #like she’s honestly hilarious in the early eps #I get a very brief bit of annoyance but I can’t imagine not quickly getting over it #(bc her voice IS surprising—- even though it’s basically just Esther’s real voice) #every time LBFAD comes up in Cdrama places ppl complain about her and you know they probably love the most basic ass men in other shows 🫡 #and immaturity is so much more acceptable and even considered a perk in them
