i keep fucking remembering when i was talking with my mom that family reunions were very difficult for me and it would be a huge relief when i move out and far away to not have to be present anymore (like ofc i was mincing my words, but i said verbatim it would be way more comfortable for me to not be there anymore) and she was like :) oh dear you'll always gonna be invited :) you're always going to have your place :) FUCKING ASSHOLE

You Know How There Are Those AU? Where SUPER Injured Ghosts Need To Retreat To Their Core?
No one seems to be USING that to its fullest potential! For SHENANIGANS! Because! Who?? Could POSSIBLY carry a Halfa's Core safely... but another Halfa?! A FULL ghost would KILL them. A human would be killed! What terribly precarious peril we find ourselves in! Oh nooooooo!
Well, no worry!
As much as Dani fuckin HATES this. That there is her brother. Her Template. Her Clone Daddy and Bestest of Bros. Like HECK she's gonna let him suffer for centuries and possibly DIE. She can take it, Doc! Pop him in! We'll go road tripping and-
What do you MEAN "No"?
Unstable??! Of course she's unstable! But the-.... Oh.
Turns OUT? Dani? Can hitch a ride in DANNY for Emergency Medical Aid... but NOT the other way around. Her body is too loosely held together. He would parasiticly consume her from within. Instead of feeding off her Ecto System like injured ghosts are supposed too, because she's a CLONE? AND an unstable one at that? His Core would just... see her body as free ectoplasm. All of it.
He'd eat her.
Which mean Frostbite can not and WILL NOT allow that.
But he's HURT! That big, off screen, cataclysmic Fight To Save Everybody From *cough cough mumbles* and settle us all in the DC universe, REALLY messed him up! What are we supposed to DO!? He can't STAY like this!!!
Enter-> My FAVORITE DCxDP Trash Ship! Vlad&Lex!!! *horrified screaming from the crowds, someone shouts "oh god, no! Please!"* Ha! There are no gods here, silly billys! Only two terrible, terrible HIGHLY Dramatic, self serving, incredibly damaged, gay peacocks. In Business Suits that cost more then your house is worth.
They're AWFUL~♡
And! Vlad was sent ahead to lay the ground work. Insure there would be no GIWs. Also because no one could stand him and his EXTENSIVE criminal record. But that's besides the point.
But!
You know what he found? A Business Nemesis. Who he routinely dates and/or Dramatically Hate Fu-*coughs* I mean, attempts a Corporate Take Over(tm) off. You know how it is. Business. He ALSO gets to make it no secret he's a "Meta", thanks to the INCOMPETENCE of one Jack Fenton, because that- *seething rant*
Yet? Dispite his STILL burning hatred for Jack? And his finally letting go of Maddie? You know what he STILL wants?
For Danny to be his Son.
*Gets a call from Frostbite*
...............soooooo........ what you're SAYING is..... I can be pregnant with Daniel.
You, Frostbite, need ME, Vladimir Masters, THE ONLY OTHER HALFA, to carry Daniel around inside my body, in what to all appearances resembles a pregnancy, in order to heal him. Because I am an Older And Stronger Halfa Upon Which He Relies.
:)
*instantly begins plotting*
Just? Imagine. Vlad is a FUCKIN LIAR. No one but him would even KNOW what was going on! He just? Rocks up one day, like? *falsely demure* "oh I couldn't POSSIBLY has any scotch, Lex! >:) I'm eating for Two~☆" and just? Deals the MAXIMUM amount of psychic damage he can.
Probably says it at their weekly, public, Veiled Threats Brunch.
It makes front page news. Luthor choked on his eggs. The paparazzi lost their SHIT. Vlad is doing the FULL Celebrity Mom Thing. The classes. The photo shoots. The Gucci sunglasses as he peruses high end strollers. All while HEAVILY suggesting that not only is "The Baby" Lex's.... but that he's going to withhold the child and deny Lex any access.
Danny isn't even aware. He's in a lovely lil medical coma. Dani is trying to find a good spot to plop down Amity. She just know Vlad is being... Vlad. Meh. He can handle it. Dan? He's not even IN the human realm and is not sure he wants to be.
But over in the LEAGUE? Everything's on fuckin FIRE.
Kon is losing his SHIT and Clark is thousand yard staring into the void. Kon's half brother is in the hands of a... Less Then Ideal... Meta that Batman is PRETTY sure is highly suspect. Might be a deliberate weapons experiment. Certainly is a hostage. And the DRAMA.
Lex has never been worse.
He might actually stab his...partner? Vlad. At the hospital. The SECOND the child is born. There are already long term kidnapping plans in the making. He's hiring lawyers. Getting VICIOUS. There have been talks with DEATHSTROKE. By BOTH OF THEM.
Clark wants to cry.

obsessed w this new saga with David and the other teachers.... perhaps them either coming over again for a small party - "it's mostly family!!" Hence being even more confused when even MORE famous people show up (THAT'S brony Erica???)
I’m picturing the same cookout from this post.
There are three new eighth grade teachers this year. Including David, there is Marissa and Jordan. Then there is Kathy, who has been at the school for two years. They are all trying to figure out what is going on with Steve Harrington.
The man is a complete mystery.
He’s a walking contradiction in a math pun sweatshirt and he is often the topic of conversation when the four of them are alone in the breakroom. Jordan describes him as ‘onion-like’ because he has many layers and Marissa always replies with, ‘yeah, a fucked up alien onion where each new layer is weirder than the last.’
It’s a bit cruel but also, they found an article about Starcourt Mall.
Who is just in a fire? Who saves a bunch of children from a structure fire that collapsed on top of them and doesn’t make it their whole personality for the rest of forever? Who just never mentions it ever?
Steve Harrington, apparently.
After David (and Kathy) left Steve’s house more confused about the mild-mannered math teacher than ever, he went home and googled ‘Eddie Harrington.’ All he found was a link to a Facebook page for some dentist.
So, like, who the hell is he even married to, right? The guy has a Grammy but not a Wikipedia page? What’s up with that?
All David knows is that when Anita (the teacher that’s probably closest to Steve) invites everybody over for a cookout and says that your partners are more than welcomed, he’s going. When Steve asks if it’d be okay if Erica stopped by on her way to the airport and Anita said yes, he’s definitely going.
He is not going to miss the opportunity to see the kid that gave her dad psychic damage by introducing him to the fucked up parts of the My Little Pony fandom. No way.
Kathy informs everybody that she will NOT be bringing her husband, but she will bring booze.
David arrives too early and ends up helping in the kitchen. He’s slicing up tomatoes with the world’s dullest knife when Steve gets there. He can’t see the front door, but he can hear Anita ask, “Oh, where’s your service doggie?”
“It’s his day off,” He hears Steve joke, “Brought the human instead.”
And then David hears the man of mystery’s man of mystery himself because Eddie says with 100% impulsive thinking and 0% brain-to-mouth filter, “Yeah, he brought his service top instead.”
David just knows that Steve is giving Eddie the same dead-eyed look of unbelievable that is reserved for students that mix their chocolate milk with peas and dare each other to drink it in the silence that follows. Anita, bless her heart, replies as happy and clueless as can be, “Oh, that’s cute. Because you provide a top-notch service.”
“Never had any compl- ow!”
The first time David gets a good look at them, Eddie’s pressed up against Steve’s back, looking over his shoulder at the pictures of Anita’s grandkids she has on her phone. One of his hands is wrapped loosely around his waist and Steve is holding the other one, fiddling with the rings on it. They look so casual, like they’re always standing that close together.
David watches as Anita points in the direction of the drinks cooler and Eddie slips away with a kiss to the side of Steve’s neck and then another to his cheek. They hold hands until they absolutely have to let go. It’s cute. Marissa, next to him, scoffs and says, “Gag me with a spoon, they’re fucking adorable.”
Eddie returns to Steve with two beers and a Smirnoff Ice for Anita, gets another kiss and clearly calls Steve ‘sweetie’ when he clinks their bottles together. Steve throws his arm across Eddie’s shoulders and Eddie tucks his hand into Steve’s back pocket like it’s the most casual thing in the world.
David loses track of Steve and Eddie for a while, catching them in his peripheral as he mingles with everybody. He seems them steal a kiss. He sees them laughing at something Kathy says. He sees them holding hands as Eddie looks utterly lost during a discussion of the baseball season.
At one point, he sees Eddie stand up on the bench of the picnic table and get yanked down by Steve. They’re both laughing and Steve gives him a kiss that is not exactly chaste.
Cindy rolls her eyes at them and says that they’re always like that.
Him and Jordan are playing cornhole against Steve and Eddie. He’s almost positive that Eddie is not as bad at the game as he’s pretending to be, but just likes when ‘Stevie baby’ guides him through how to throw the beanbags. If it wasn’t for Steve excusing himself than he probably wouldn’t have noticed the big SUV parked in the driveway.
His first thought when he sees Erica is ‘oh, she must be adopted’ followed immediately by ‘wait, duh’ and then by ‘hey, wait a minute.’
Steve gets stopped by her bodyguard before he can hug her with a big threatening hand on his shoulder. David’s still trying to figure out why she looks so familiar when Erica says to the bodyguard, “Uh, excuse you. Do not touch him. He was my first bodyguard, have some respect.”
Steve scoffs, “I was your babysitter.”
“I’m sorry,” Erica says, full of sass. Eddie is a couple steps back, grinning ear to ear. He loves when Erica and Steve get into it. “Did you bleed for me? Did you fight for me? Did you, Steve Harrington, get tortured so I made it out safe? I think so. Bodyguard.”
Eddie finally greets her with a bow, “Lady Applejack.”
Erica gives him a flat look and tells her bodyguard, “You can tase that one.”
David is still reeling from the words ‘babysitter’ and ‘torture’ that he probably would’ve missed Marissa in his ear if she wasn’t so goddamn loud, “Holy shit, that’s a fucking US Senator.”
Jordan is quieter when she mutters, “Language.”
Later in the evening when the sun is starting to set and they should all really go home and prep their lesson plans for next week, Anita’s husband lights a bonfire. David is sitting across from the fire from Steve and Eddie and he so tempted to ask what Eddie does for a living when Steve whispers something to him and then stands up quickly.
He can’t even ask what that was about because Eddie gets up and follows him, almost matching Steve’s quick steps into the house. They’re gone for a while, long enough that David gets up to check on Steve. He looked pretty pale when he rushed out of here.
He’s halfway up the stairs when he hears them, and he stops. Steve sounds tired but reassuring as he repeats, “I’m fine. I’m okay. I’m fine now.”
He hears Eddie respond with, “I know, baby. I know, but rest with me for a minute, kay?”
When he pokes his head around the turn in the staircase, he can see the bottom of Steve’s Nikes hanging over the top landing. He can also see the bottom of Eddie’s boots where he’s crouched over Steve. His first reaction is to think he stumbled on them in a compromising position, but he can’t bring himself to move just yet.
“You just had a seizure, take your time getting your bearings, sweetheart. Do you wanna go home?” Eddie asks in a cacophony of jingling metal rings and chains. Steve makes a noise that Eddie interprets, “Okay, do you want me to give you space?”
“No, come –“ The sound of metal clinking together doesn’t get louder, just more and when David pokes his head around the corner again, Eddie is straddled across Steve’s lap. Steve’s hands are on his hips and then higher, pushing up Eddie’s shirt clumsily just feeling him. “Feel floaty.”
“I’ll keep you grounded, baby.”
David knows he should leave, or at least looks away, but he stuck frozen to the floor at the sight of the scar tissue running up Eddie’s sides and back. They’re deep and jagged, and old. It looks like he was torn open and sewed back shut, and it takes David a long time to get his feet to go back down the stairs.
He goes back out to the fire a little dazed and later, it’s only Eddie that returns. He whispers something to Anita and then disappears into the night.
When Cindy makes a comment about Steve leaving without a proper goodbye, David tells her to shut up.

so there's been a lot of posting about things like ofmd not being a 'kind show' and no longer being 'the queer joy show' etc etc and. i just want to remind us of where everybody is in s1's finale vs s2's
let us begin
stede: stede ends s1 on a hopeful note (setting off to go get his man) but shortly prior to that he's kind of been through it (he nearly got executed and then two different people tried to murder him). stede ends s2 on an even more hopeful note, having got his man, ready to open an inn with him. verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2
ed: ed ends s1 in absolute despair. izzy has been a real dick to ed (depending on your interpretation, he's done something ranging from being a little tiny bit mean to ed to calling him a slur and threatening to kill him, but we're not having this discourse again) so now he's back in his blackbeard persona mere days after feeling some hope that he was finally free from piracy and ready to run away with someone who loves him for who he is. the last shot we see of s1 ed is him absolutely crying his eyes out in the bed nook. it inflicts d4 psychic damage on me whenever i look at it. anyway at the end of s2 he's been on an absolute journey, he's learned that he's loved, he's free from being blackbeard, he's stood beside the man that loves him and they're going to give everything a go. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2
stede's crew: i mean. what is there to say. at the end of s1 they've just been marooned and social order on their little island is rapidly breaking down due to buttons and roach teaming up to try and eat the swede. at the end of s2 they're happily back at sea and the swede has spanish jackie to fight off anyone who would even consider having a nibble. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2
honourable mention - buttons: ends s1 unsuccessfully trying to eat the swede. ends s2 having fulfilled his life's dream of becoming a bird. good job buttons. verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2
ed's crew: as above, the crew end s2 happily sailing away into the literal sunset. we finish s1 with jim presumably unconscious and izzy pointing a gun at frenchie. so not an ideal situation really. fang seems to be having a good time though and ivan gets killed off between seasons (rip king) so it averages out at a slightly better rather than a significantly better. verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2
honourable mention - frenchie: ends s1 hoisting his flag at gunpoint. ends s2 captaining the bloody ship. go frenchie. we love to see it. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2
lucius: ends s1 soggy. ends s2 not only dry, but married. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2
izzy: ah yes this old chestnut. so. two perspectives here. one is simply that he ends s1 alive and ends s2 dead. so. possible verdict: significantly worse off at the end of s2. alternatively, he ends s1 as his classic repressed self, smiling from ear to ear because ed cut his toe off and it sparked joy, disliked by the crew, resented by ed. he ends s2 having accepted himself and having experienced all the queer joy he would never have permitted himself in s1, having experienced more screentime and growth than any other secondary character in s2 (yes he's a secondary character no i won't argue with you about this), and dies exactly as he lived - being a pirate who can pull off a plan. he gets to have his deathbed deep and meaningful conversation with ed, which brings closure to them both. he gets buried beside ed and stede's new inn, on land where his grave will be tended, having been given a nice funeral by people who once despised him. so. possible verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2. he definitely seemed happier in s2, and died at peace rather than as a frothing little ball of anger, which is more than i could've foreseen in s1.
anyway. the eagle eyed mathematicians among you will notice that even if we take it as read that izzy is significantly worse off at the end of s2...
every single other character ends s2 in a better place than where they ended s1.
ofmd is a kind show that's full to the brim of queer joy. you guys are just sad that your fave died. and that's fine. the writers did a great job creating a story with characters that were so well written that people are genuinely grieving izzy's death.
but his death does not erase the inherent kindness and joy of the rest of the show.
anyway thanks for reading. i had fun playing with the tumblr post editor settings. by which i mean changing the text colour was unreasonably difficult and now i am stressed

Only Fools Fall in Love | Steddie Imagine
Tumblr media
Pairing: Steve Harrington & Eddie Munson Song Inspo: Andrew by Ben Platt Word Count: 2,574 Summary: Steve Harrington has a crush on Eddie Munson. Eddie Munson has a crush on Steve Harrington. Neither of them want to address it for various reasons. They're just two idiots in love. Warnings: angst, slowburn Masterlist: see fandoms (pc-friendly)
After defeating Vecna and barely escaping the upside down, Steve knew his life was never going to be the same again. He no longer had the pleasure of being blissfully unaware of the darkness that surrounded Hawkins. He knew about the creatures that lurked in the shadows. Knew how powerful they were and the amount of damage they had caused to their little town, how many lives were lost in the mix of creatures that were never supposed to exist.
They were supposed to be fiction, stories told to kids to keep them in their homes at certain times, to scare them into staying safe and not wondering into the forest alone at night. Unfortunately, those things were very real, too real for Steve's liking.
Some days he wished to be one of those dense high school kids who only cared about their reputation and didn't know what was happening in the world around them. He wished to be like the old Steve, the one who only cared about hooking up, parties and Nancy Wheeler. He loved her in a way he never thought he could love; she awakened something in him that he didn't know existed. Then she was ripped out of his life without even the slightest warning, she left him, she didn't love him. She said it was all bullshit. They were bullshit.
He knew now that she was right about it all, they were bullshit. Neither of them were ready or mature enough for a relationship, they were too different, too young and too foolish. Nancy was better with Jonathan, they had bonded over their trauma and Steve was jealous at first, but after seeing that massive smile on her face, he knew that she had exactly who she needed. It stung, seeing them together, they were everywhere he went, and he hated it. So, he went to parties and got piss drunk to forget and occasionally he stopped by that disgusting trailer park to buy from Eddie Munson.
Eddie "The Freak" Munson was the best dealer in town, he always had a fixed supply unlike some of the other idiots who couldn't keep up with the demand. Steve didn't necessarily like Eddie that much, he was too loud, too dramatic, too all over the place and too different. He was what Steve never could be, unapologetically different.
He never apologized for being who he was, he never cared what anyone thought or said about him. In fact, he played into it, he wore the term 'Freak' like a badge of honor and used it to scare off any potential threats. It worked most of the time, while people found him annoying, they never did anything to psychically stop him.
That irritated Steve even more. Eddie got away with being himself. Steve wished he could just exist without the fear of getting judged or trampled on. So, he worked his way up the high school ranks and became King Steve, someone everybody wanted to be or be with. None of it was true though, he was never a king. He was never any of the things they made him out to be, well except a douche. He was definitely a douche.
So now, two years after graduating high school, he had finally accepted that life was never going to be easy for him. He would never get to be his true self in front of everyone, he would never get to show the real Steve to all of Hawkins. He'd probably get beaten up or killed for it to be fair.
"Hey dingus" Robin's voice broke through his train of thought, "stop staring into space, we've got customers to attend to."
He shot her a glare before turning to the customer at the register who was returning some of the tapes she rented. His face softened when he saw the girl staring at him nervously.
"Sorry about that," he stated, "will you be renting anything else today, or just returning?"
The girl shrugged, twirling a piece of her blonde hair around her finger, "I haven't decided yet, I still have to have a look. Any suggestions?"
"Uh... Fire With Fire seems to be a hit right now, it's in the romance section"
"Are you into romance?" She asked in what he assumed was supposed to be a flirty voice.
He shrugged, "not really. I just watch whatever, but I've heard it's a good movie." He turned to Robin and smirked, "Rob and I are actually going to watch it together tonight."
A deep red blush covered the girl's cheeks at the thought of flirting with a taken man, "I'm so sorry, I have no idea."
Steve waved her off, "it's okay, happens to the best of us."
Robin scowled at him as the customer scurried away after deciding that she definitely wasn't going to rent Fire With Fire now. She thanked them and nearly ran out of the store.
"Really Steve. Using me as your repellant. Usually, you manage to get rid of the girls just be being yourself." she teased before going to the back and adding another strike under the 'You Suck' column.
Steve sat on the counter and watched her return from the break room, he wanted to tell her the truth, but he has been struggling to get the words out for the last year. It was scary being open like this, having someone know everything about you was terrifying and he didn't want it to change anything between them. She was his best friend and he loved her. He didn't want this stupid shit to come between them, he didn't want to lose the one person who understood him the best.
Losing Nancy was hard but losing Robin would probably kill him, she was his biggest support and he truly appreciated and cherished their friendship. What started out as a stupid crush on his coworker quickly turned into the most meaningful friendship he has ever had. The possibility of losing that scared him more than the monsters they faced over the last three years.
"Steve. Seriously what's up?" Robin spoke up again, a concerned look on her face, "you've been spacing out all day and you keep getting this look on your face that looks like you want to do something stupid and it's freaking me out. Are you okay? Is it Vecna? Is he still alive? Is it me? Oh god. Did I do something to make you hate me and now you want to quit your job and move away and never see me again. You've probably already packed to leave and now you're trying to think of a way to break it to m–"
"Robin, breathe. God. I'm not going anywhere" he cut her off, "I've just got a lot on my mind, and it doesn't have anything to do with Vecna or the upside down or any of that crazy shit. I'm just trying to figure out a few things."
She nodded "sorry. I got a little carried away."
They shared a laugh before going silent again, a comfortable air settling between them as they got back to work. It was a relatively quiet day in Family Video, so they didn't really do much and soon their shift came to an end and Steve got ready to lock up while Robin waited in his car.
"Hey Harrington, fancy seeing you here" he heard a familiar voice pipe up behind him.
"I work here Eddie" he said flatly.
Eddie tsked, "I'm well aware of that Stevie, I was just being courteous."
"Stevie?" He questioned.
He and Munson became kind of friends after the whole Upside Down incident. Watching Eddie nearly bleed to death made him realize that he came to like Eddie in the short time they spent together. He learnt a lot about the guy while running away from Vecna and the enraged townspeople who believed that Eddie was a satanic murderer.
The stakes were high but somehow Eddie always managed to inject humor into every situation to make it feel a lot less intense. He had a way of making people comfortable around him, of making them feel at ease. It was surprising yet welcomed at the time and watching him so close to death made the entire gang realize how much Eddie Munson truly meant to them.
He was one of them now, a part of the club, a trusted member. So, it wasn't weird for him to be here, speaking to Steve.
"Well Stevie, I figured since we escaped death together and kicked Vecna's tentacle ass we're basically friends now. There's nothing wrong with giving your friend a nickname now is there, Steve? "
Eddie had that wide eyed look on his face, the one that made Steve squirm in place, his stare was always intense. Steve felt as if he was staring into his soul, trying to unravel every dark secret locked up inside of him. Yet the casual smile on his face said the opposite, it contradicted his beady eyes in the best way possible. The perfect balance of intense and soft, which was exactly how Steve would describe Eddie.
He cleared his throat, trying his best to ignore the slight warmth in his cheeks, "uh. Sure. Yeah. Stevie... I like it"
Eddie chuckled at his flustered state, "I actually came by to invite you and Robin to a movie night at my place. Tomorrow at 7, don't be late Harrington."
Steve watched him walk off without waiting for a response, and while he tried to mill over everything Eddie said, he only managed to get stuck on the fact that Eddie referred to him as 'Harrington' again. He wasn't sure why it upset him that much, it was his surname after all, but after being called Stevie, hearing his last name out of Eddie's lips no longer sounded right.
He wanted to be called Stevie. He wanted Eddie to call him Stevie every day, because the way he said it made his stomach do the slightest flip. The way he drawled it out in that raspy voice of his, made it sound so much better than it would sound if anyone else said it. He wanted to be Eddie's Stevie.
That thought stumped him, because he had never thought of another guy like that. He never felt that happy to hear a guy give him a nickname. But to be fair, Eddie Munson wasn't just another guy. He was different. Special.
Tuesday came rolling around and Steve was on edge the entire day, he had hung out with Eddie before, but this somehow felt different. So much so that he was nervous and jittery the entire day and Robin teased him about it at every chance she got.
"It's just a movie, Steve, why are you freaking out?" She questioned, "We hung out with Eddie before, and you always enjoyed it. You know better than anyone else, that he's not what the town makes him out to be."
"I know that, Rob. That's not the issue, it's just different this time and I don't know how to explain it. Like it's been a year since all that crazy shit happened and I'm still adjusting to having Eddie around more."
"Do you not want to hang out with him anymore?" she moved around the store sorting tapes while they spoke.
"No!" he said louder than he meant to. "No... I like hanging out with Eddie, he's fun. It just feels different. I don't know how to explain it."
"Well, you have all the time in the world to figure it out. Now that the world isn't ending anymore you can think about whatever it is you're feeling and deal with it when you're ready."
He nodded; she was right. There was no rush to figure his stupid thoughts out, all he had to do was get through tonight. He was nervous for some reason and kept wondering who would be there, would Eddie have invited Nancy and Jonathan as well?
He didn't know if he wanted an answer to that question right now. Being unaware was a blessing in certain situations.
Steve stepped into Eddie's new trailer and settled down beside Robin, a smile plastered on his face as he turned to Nancy and Jonathan who were squeezed together on a love seat. The government helped clear Eddie's name and gave him and his uncle a brand-new trailer in a more reserved side of town. It was bigger and it was fully furnished so it quickly became their hang out when they wanted to escape reality for a bit.
Steve raised a brow at Robin when Vickie made her way into the trailer after them.
"Did you know she was coming?"
Robin leaned closer and whispered her response, "yeah. I invited her. Hope you don't mind?"
Steve shrugged, "of course I don't mind. I'm glad you finally upped your game, Rob." He teased.
"Shut up. You can't even get a date." She bit back, motioning for him to scoot over so Vickie could squeeze in the seat beside her.
Eddie came back into the room with beers for everyone and a few rolled up joints, he passed the beers around and sat next to Steve.
"Hope you don't mind our medicinal addition, it helps mellow us out a bit" he said to Vickie, a charming smile on his face.
Steve felt a tinge of jealousy shoot up within him when Vickie giggled and told him she didn't mind at all. It was stupid of him to get jealous over something that simple, but he managed to convince himself that he was only pissed because Eddie shouldn't be putting moves on Robin's date.
Eddie noticed the look on Steve's face, his brows all scrunched and the slightest pout to his lips. He looked adorable, like an angry kitten, Eddie wanted to kiss that stupid little pout away.
He always had a slight crush on Steve "The Hair" Harrington. Who didn't? Steve was hot, with his perfect hair, those big brown eyes, that amazingly toned body and that gorgeous smile that he flashed Eddie with whenever Eddie teased him too much. Steve was perfect and Eddie struggled daily to keep his feelings in check. He didn't want their blossoming friendship to fall apart simply because he couldn't keep it in his pants. Plus falling for straight men was a big no in the Munson doctrine so he had to stick to his rules and keep whatever playful banter they had going on extremely platonic.
Although a little teasing never hurt and seeing Steve blush was always worth it, so he leaned forward and whispered, "Is that jealousy I'm detecting? Wipe that pout off your face. Vickie's got nothing on you, big boy."
Steve felt his face heat up and bit back the smile that threatened to pull at his lips. His stomach did an entire back flip at the tone of Eddie's voice. The hairs on his neck stood up as his breath hit his skin. His entire body went rigid as the words big boy slipped out of Eddie's mouth again. This was the first time Eddie had said it since the upside down and somehow it felt more intense now, it felt different.
Eddie Munson would be the death of him and based off the smug smirk on his face, he definitely knew what he was doing.

Networking by oldmannapping - Timber and batfam, complete. Bernard attends a gala with Tim where he meets other (vigilante) friends of the batfam. Shenanigans ensue.
Everybody Wants You by TheResurrectionist - Superbat, complete. A reread for me! Bruce Wayne is in People's Magazine for being the sexiest man alive and does a bit of a risqué photo shoot for them. A copy makes it into the Watchtower. Dick takes psychic damage. The hot water bill goes down. Bruce's armor keeps disappearing. Shenanigans all around :)
In for a Penny by Cdelphiki - Batfam, complete. An AU where Bruce gets Damian as a baby :) This fic is part of an ongoing series called In For a Pound! I am also in the middle of reading the second fic of this series, Precedent, where Bruce takes in Jason!
tacere by mediant - Clark Kent centric, complete. There has been some recent discussion about Clark, the Supers, and purring, and that got me in the mood for some alien biology/Kryptonians purring fic. This one is my favorite, hitting all the feels :)
La clarté dans la confusion by thebatandtherobe - Superbat, Bruceman, wip. More of whatever love polygon these guys have going on here. The boys go out on a date (kinda?) to an art exhibit. A fun time is had by all.
Foreign Languages by FabulaRasa - DinahOllie (I have no idea what their ship name is), Superbat, and JayDick, complete. Another reread for me. Januariat's lovely art of this fic was going around on Tumblr again, and I count help myself but read it again. Dinah becomes Bruce's therapist. It's as complicated as you think.
Patchwork Pod by Ktkat9 - Supebat and Batfam, wip. More of the mer Bruce fic! And it hit 100 chapters!!! :D :D :D
stratagem by pomeloquat - Superbat, complete. A 5+1 fic where Bruce keeps coming up with the most off the wall reasons to have sex with Clark (because science/research/contingency plans, etc). Very silly, very sexy, very good :)
sunset by TheResurrectionist - Pennywaynes, Alfred & Bruce, complete. Part of the omegaverse series a room full of coral. Alfred is called in by GCPD to pick up Bruce. A sad time is had by all :(
Enjoy!

If you haven't done them already, thoughts on Natu or Xatu?
Tumblr media
A natu would make an excellent pet, especially for someone looking to adopt an easier psychic or flying-type pokémon!
They are, and this is a technical term, itty bitty fellas. At only eight inches tall, natus are the perfect size to be pets! Don’t be fooled into thinking they can’t get around well, however! Because their wings are so small, natus are, admittedly, not very good fliers (Gold). In the wild, they forage for their favorite foods by hopping around and deftly climbing trees (Gold, Silver, Crystal). If you adopt a natu, you’ll have to get used to them climbing all over the place, and you need to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous for them!
Speaking of food: natus have a pretty varied diet, which should theoretically make them easy to feed. Wild natus make their homes in savannas and deserts, and adapt their diet to the kinds of food they can find. Where trees can be found, natus love to eat shoots and sprouts that grow out of their branches (Silver, Crystal). In environments where cactus can be found, natus carefully munch on the edible parts of the cactus while avoiding the spines (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum).
Natus are, as far as I can tell, friendly little critters. They really love eye-contact, which may not be everybody’s jam: when your eyes meet with a natu, they won’t look away until you move (Ruby)! Wild natus don’t like being approached, so it may take a while to build a bond with one, which you should definitely keep in mind (Ruby).
Despite their peaceful, foraging behavior, natus can be a force to be reckoned with when threatened. As psychic-type pokémon, natus have an impressive ability to attack foes with their minds. Moves like Future Sight and Psychic can do quite a bit of damage, but can by no means be labeled lethal. That being said, it would be a mistake to consider natus completely harmless!
Overall, however, natus seem like they would make great pets. So long as they don’t feel threatened, they shouldn’t pose too much of a threat, and they are relatively easy to care for. If you’re looking for a flying-type pokémon that doesn’t need an abundance of air-space or a psychic-type pokémon that is particularly non-violent and friendly, a natu might be a great pet to adopt.

hellooo can u do a green/red flags list for kunigami? thank u <3
( ✮ ) OUR RELATIONSHIP ft kunigami rensuke
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🧺 𓂃⭑ᜊ an: I know I've said this a million times but I enjoy doing things u guys asked me to! It gives me extra motivation rather than when I'm doing it on my storylines sksksksjsk anyways, enjoy xx
🗯️ 𓂃⭑ᜊ content warning: none
🔖 𓂃⭑ᜊ: @iwritesjud3's navigation
Tumblr media
Kunigami wasn't a red flag type of guy AT ALL! I think he was the definition of the walking green flag. He walks so the rest of Blue Lock can run (fr). His first green flag would be:
His way to start the relationship. I think he would be the guy that would do the cliche date just to confess. He would set a date at the beach. An (unofficial) picnic date on the beach, watching the sunset, walking along the seaside, and hand in hand y'know, that type of date. At the end of the day, he would just hold your hand and told you how much he loves you, how long he's been in love with you. (You'd cried btw 😞)
After you both are official, he will continue showing love, he know what he has to do and whatnot. He will literally do as you said, if you said 'no pda' then no it is but if you wanna be extra clingy then he'll let you. He is like a puppy (to you only 😋). He is best at his words. Just know what to say to make you feel better on your bad/red days etc.
His love language is WORDS OF AFFIRMATIONS EVERYBODY!!!! *massive applause* AND PSYCHICAL TOUCH!!! I just know he'll give you the best warm hug and then pat your back on a soothing manner and then give you a sweet words of comfort and lul you to sleep sometimes.
Kunigami is a man of his words. If he said tomorrow you both are going on a date even A LAST MINUTE morning practice can't stop this guy. He'll ditched the world to keep his promises with you.
He is neat ok ok ok. Not like Barou but he's a clean person. Well organized and tidy. There would be a time where he would just slump on you after practices but that rarely happened. Once in two months???? He loves helping you straighten up, you two even had a routine and time which do this job for the day.
Oh and he loves cuddling! Doesn't matter in bed, on the couch, outside, at school or anywhere he loves cuddle! He would just sit by your side arms entangling and head in between your neck and shoulder.
Okay I did say he was a walking green flag but he has his red flag too, Okay it wasn't obvious and damaging but it's still a red flag ok. Only one!
Insensitivity. This man is blurred, dumb, curious, and confused 24/7! You can sit at a table with friends, guys, and girls. Girls can surround him, flirting and giving him smooth pick-up lines but this man would just look in between them and nodded. It was not like he was paying attention or anything but he can't say no! He was not enjoying it NO! But he doesn't know what to do! The boy is confused all the time, sometimes you have to do the work and get him out of awkward situations. And he would still just look at you starting dumbly and goes like 'What happened?' He's like a puppy but with a little time it irks you! Not really but you are kind of pissed off at his confuse demeanor
But he makes it up, by saying sorry and lets you explain to him what to do when he's ever in that situation again! Of course, he should speed up and run.
Lastly, The relationship is still going strong, and sometimes it even crossed his mind to marry you someday. Seeing you walking down the aisle with a a stunning white dress with flowers in hand and him waiting for you with his black tuxedo. Kissing to wrap up the beautiful moment. He can only smile and wait until he got a permanent job to buy you a diamond ring ( you always told him to make you a paper ring only! You loved it!!' and propose and live happily with you!!!! The end.

Valentines Day Headcanons for the Goon Squad
Remy
The girlfriend he uses as a beard either gets the ultimate valentines, that he's going to use as content for his tiktok. Or he forgets and gets her wilted roses.
His centuars and favorite bull are the true winners on vday. Suddenly everybody gets a hands on grooming session and all the apples they could eat.
Bailey
Has no valentines and makes it everyone else's problem. If you stand close enough you can get psychic damage from his pining. Don't let him catch you enjoying life or a valentines. He pretends he doesn't care, but very clearly does.
If you check the likes on his priv its just valentines day hate posts.
Briar
Loves it, one of his busiest days. All the loneliest losers show up. Schedules special shows throughout the day. Personally doesn't celebrate it. He's pimpin' folk out, he'll never fall for a hoe. Maybe drinks a big bottle of wine, and watches himself in the mirror in some red lingerie.
Eden
If he doesn't have an unlucky spouse DO NOT go in the woods on Valentines day. If he does have a spouse, does nothing for valentines day, because he "doesn't believe in it". If his spouse gets him something his present is dick... but they were probably getting that regardless.
Wren
Usually has a valentines, if not hangs with his boys. Strip poker with the boys 🫦
Zephyr
Handsome swashbuckler probably takes someone on a date on his ship to watch the sundown. Something something because of the implication. If there's a raid on valentines day he might seduce the other captain.
Harper
Schedules his favorite patients appointments. Might have a couple dick appointments too. Definitely brings Quinn his sperm bank proposal
Quinn
Denies Harper's sperm bank proposal. Has a date with his favorite tentababydad at the end of the night. He might have the most romantic night. Fancy dinner, tentacle massage, sex. His tentacles are special
Edit: just like he is on valentines day I forgot Leighton
Has no one. Tries to blackmail people into going on a date with him, but it’s valentines day. Special shout out to his dog person, they’ve got it ruff.

Option 1:
Enemy: Heradecia and Cerenysus
Episode: C2 E41: Cerenysus
Time: 4:04-2:46:22
Finish: Fia (Cerenysus), Jabari (Heradecia)
Notes: 2 concurrent battles. 2 spellcasting enemies. 2 players juggling 2 PCs each. Surprise Lou and Hexbuds! Caldwell as Lake, Lou ass the spells. Emboldening bond and damage sponging. Living spells for Fia to fight. Jabari trapped in banishment with dry toads. Corbeau staying up and almost forgetting the death ward. Zirk's fucking crown removal and the deal he makes for his life. Hank breaking the curse. Tarragon's halfling abilities coming in clutch. Fia casts the first revivify in Eldermourne in centuries.
Propaganda: (anonymous) Fia won't fight Irina. The hexbloods are fighting their mom again. Lou Wilson voices the living spells. Caldwell gets to be the dog. Zirk fucking dies and then Fia tells hank to kill her girl(hood) friend it's all so crazy. It's 4 players and 6 PCs across 2 locations fighting 2 demigods and one demigod is kinda mind controlling the other. It's just a great final fight.
2 absolutely legendary encounters for the price of one. "Mr Henry, kill her" makes me weep every time. Also Lou Wilson as Bigby's Hand.
THE LOU REVEAL GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME. the back and forth. the emotional damage. everybody's playing multiple characters. Zirk is dying. "You took his death save?!" Caldwell 'playing' Lake the dog. Lou voicing the sentient spells and making wind noises. "What about the death ward?" truly the encounter of all time
Option 2:
Enemy: Thiala
Episodes: C1 E100: Heart of the World
Time: (ads) 58:56-2:41:30 (*used the ads version because it's two episodes on patreon so it wouldn't be a great timestamp)
Finish: Moonshine
Notes: Hardwon's insane first 2 rounds (almost 600 damage! and he does miss!! he does a total of 1,082 damage to Thiala in the entire fight and there are 2 rounds where he doesn't have a turn because he's unconscious!). Moonshine counterspells and then uses Chill Touch to make sure all of Hardwon's damage can stick. The flashback scenes that do psychic damage and enlighten the audience at the last minute on characters we hadn't seen a lot of. Bev goes Elder Champion and casts revivify as a bonus action. The terrain moves to in front of the Heart of the World where Melora and Telaine are holding the world together. Ulfgar and Alanis are used for their power by Thiala, and Galad is fucking back and Thiala's bestie. Erlin is freed by Handy Andy. "I'm gonna fucking eat her."
Propaganda: (anonymous) hardwon surefoot deals 582 points of damage against thiala in two rounds. that’s all
Murph's flashbacks to Elias Sr., Ol' Cobb, and the Legendary Heroes? Chef's kiss. Also riding into battle on flying elephants.

Earth X #12
The penultimate issue. What a crazy time it has been.
Look, tandem Silver Surfers. A surfboard built for two.
Also, Tony. This is his issue. Last time he revealed that he’s been hiding in a giant robot this whole time. And he launches it to buy time when the Celestials land on Earth.
Why are the Celestials on Earth? Earth is their egg.
What is he buying time for? Black Bolt screamed a name into deep space. So for whoever’s name that was to show up.
What’s going on? Just so much. Everyone is mutated because Black Bolt set off a terrigen bomb after blinding Uatu the Watcher. A psychic kid called the Skull tried to take over the world and got his neck snapped by Captain America. Which aggroed the Celestials because the Skull was their failsafe, to keep humanity under control when everybody mutated. Because everybody mutating was the Celestial plan, so that the egg would have powerful guardians.
What’s been going on? Everything. Spider-Man got his groove back. Reed is Doom. Namor is half on fire. Machine Man is the new Watcher. There’s a werewolf on the Moon. And I did mention that the Earth is an egg!
Earth X is a wild ride.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Celestials are big.
They’re big, they’re here, and they’re going to wipe out all life before humanity does any more damage.
That’s less than ideal if you like humanity. Or Inhumanity as it has become.
Tony Stark is Earth’s last line of defense and we already know he’s not going to survive this. He’s just buying time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His latest, greatest armor is a heavily retooled Red Ronin. Which was a giant robot built to fight Godzilla and which Tony has been improving in the years since the terrigen bomb.
It shoots Iron Men as bullets.
That’s cool. Probably not efficient. But cool.
A giant Iron Man that shoots smaller Iron Men and if you look at the screencaps, it still looks like an angry, flailing toddler next to one Celestial.
And there’s at least ten of them.
But this is apparently what Tony has been preparing for his entire life.
Or so Reed speculates. He attributes Tony’s constant preparation for the next threat to come over the horizon to some subconscious sense that there was something wrong with Earth. But Reed says a lot of stuff in Earth X.
Most of the subplots have been taken care of by now. But there’s a few left.
Uatu the Cantwatchanything gets John Jameson to pull the Ultimate Nullifier on Machine Man. But that doesn’t go anywhere because the sun comes up over the Moon and John turns into a wolf in a spacesuit.
We finally follow up on Loki’s role in all this.
He was part of the trip to the Realm of Death plot earlier. Teaming up with Clea to betray Thor and the Hulk and then betraying her to get yoinked to Asgard for punishment. Leaving Loki free to plot to take Earth. But Aaron had an off-panel conversation with Loki.
What he apparently told him was all that exposition about Asgardians actually being shape-shifting aliens whose powers, appearances, and personalities are based on what people observing them think they should be.
Loki is furious. All this time as the scheming villain just because someone thought there needed to be one. He had to talk in that faux Shakespearean just because someone thought gods would talk that way!
(This feels like a precursor to the more meta God of Stories stuff. So Earth X gets another tally for ideas borrowed.)
He tries to tell the other Asgardians but nobody believes the trickster.
So he stabs himself to death. To make a really emphatic point.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The most dramatic.
Anyway. The doomed fight Iron Man is waging against a whole Host of Celestials.
Yeah.
Tumblr media
He gets the thumbs down and goes down in flames.
The Celestials smack him down. He manages to walk out of the wreckage but a shard of metal is poking through him.
He walks away from the fight but not very far.
But he looks up into the sky and knows he succeeded in buying enough time when he sees Silvered Surfers.
And the Silver Surfer(s) herald another arrival.
Towering over the Celestials even more than they themselves towered over New New York.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi Galactus.
You were pretty explicitly said to be dead.
Did Black Bolt scream your name so hard you stopped being a star?
One last mystery for one last issue.
Although I still don’t know what the X in Earth X means. Thirteen issues counting 0 and that hasn’t been explained.

Fashion for the Bells Hells C1 Class Swap AU
Had some thoughts on appearance changes for everybody based on their "new" classes, so here we go!
Orym: Oath of the Watcher Paladin/Inquisitive Rogue
Generally the same as his Level 3 art
Heavier armor since paladins get that
A bunch more hidden knives since he's a rogue too
Fearne: Light Domain Cleric
Generally the same as her Level 3 art
Less flowers, more jewelry to take her look from druid to priestess
Maybe a sheer hood and circlet for greater mystique
More nighttime color scheme: blues, purples, silver
Imogen: Fey Wanderer Ranger (reskinned)/Soulknife Rogue
Base clothes from Level 3 art, but no sheer fabric dress. It would get caught on stuff in the wild too much for a ranger
Jacket like her Level 9 art, except with fitted-sleeves instead of bell-sleeves
Sash, or hanging tunic like TLoVM Vex, for pleasing dynamic movement accentuator
Holster on thigh for steel arrow that she psychically throws at her targets (I've decided I like the Fantasy Telepath Yondu style for her archery)
Soulknife don't need no special gear, it conjures its own knives
Laudna: Circle of Spores Druid
Floor-length, moth-eaten/artistically ripped, lacy dark red-black dress (wedding gown style?)
Mushrooms growing in patches all over her. Particularly in dress holes/rips
Uses mushrooms on/around her ears to cover up the shorn edges instead of the gold cuffs
Has a staff of twisted, black wood where you can't tell if the top is bare branches or the roots. Also mushrooms growing all along this
Chetney: Path of the Beast Barbarian (reskinned)
Generally the same as his Level 4 art, maybe sans cloak
Has a big honkin' ax, double-sided, snarling wolf engraving in the bit
FCG: College of Creation Bard/ Alchemist Artificer
Same as Level 3 art, but backpack straps double as bandoleers for vials of alchemy brews
Ashton: Echo Knight Fighter (modified)
Same as Level 3 art, except instead of a hammer, it's twin glass blades with a chipped/carved cutting edge like obsidian weapons
The echoes are where appearance gets interesting
Swords!echoes look the same as this Ashton
Hammer!echoes have mirrored damage. Whatever timeline they're drawn from, Ashton hit the ground on his right side there, not the left
Gunslinger!echoes wear a leather jacket with studs and spikes (like Taliesin's in the recent thumbnails) and regular pants with thigh holsters for the pistols. And they're undamaged. Pulled from a timeline where he never left Bassuras
Halberd!echoes are the most obviously different. They're aasimar/half-elf and wear Hishari leather armor. This one definitely gets the questions if it's not the only echo version a person sees. Might lead to an earlier explanation of "I was soft once" as well as recognition in the Twilight Mirror Museum

I love AOS Star Trek and therefore I hate AOS Star Trek. The destruction of a whole ass planet as a plot device is my least favorite trope. Thank you for giving us good dad Sarek and some respect for Spock's Vulcan identity, now can we see more of that please? The loss of Vulcan wasn't enough rage fuel for Spock, we had to fridge Amanda too? Why didn't all the surviving Vulcans immediately collapse from the psychic damage? Feeling a few hundred Vulcans die from far away was enough to have Spock in pain in TOS, how are they even functional? Benedict wasn't a bad villain but why oh why is he Khan. The tie-in comics make it worse don't @ me. Can we see the CATASTROPHIC repercussions the destruction of Vulcan obviously has had on the Federation? They were founding members! You're telling me it didn't spark a gigantic war against Romulus? Can we stop equating Starfleet with the Federation? Why is Admiral Marcus trying to have a war against the Klingons like they're the threat when by all accounts EVERYBODY should still be crapping their pants about the Romulans? What is Spock Prime doing about that, considering he's the one who was building bridges with them in his own reality? Why is it implied that there's only those 10 000 Vulcan survivors left around when by all account there should be millions of them (everybody who was off planet at the time + the Vulcans who didn't live on the planet). Could we see New Vulcan? Spock Prime's vow of not altering things is the biggest plot contrivance bs ever - he already gave them transwarp beaming and the timeline was already irreparably fricked up before he showed up. Why not warn them about say, Sybok, the Borg, all the weird galactic threats, or needing to go get some whales from the past? That might come up! Khan's blood can RESURRECT PEOPLE. Spock/Uhura is objectively delightful, now can we stop with the snogging and have some proper Vulcan finger kisses? Hey, how about we see like one Andorian and one Tellarite instead of random alien designs thrown into a blender and splaterred on background characters? Why do Klingons and Qo'noS look like That. There are approximately 194 different methods of time travel in Star Trek with wildly inconsistent consequences - sometimes it creates a new timeline, and sometimes it's a loop and sometimes it rewrites your own reality. Are you telling me trying ANY ONE OF THEM to save Vulcan wasn't an option? The slingshot one lets you rewind your own timeline without branching out! DO THAT! ANYTHING! OVER SIX BILLION PEOPLE DIED!
Anyway it's so sweet that Spock gave Nyota his mom's necklace and also can you believe how cool his fight with Khan is? Spock Prime is awesome, I love him so much. Still can't believe a third of Beyond was a whump fanfic/buddy comedy with Spock and McCoy!

from the first volume of the taz balance graphic novel! Some nsfw sprinkled about, i tweaked some of the lines from the original dialogue for better starter lines. change pronouns around if desired! if a multi, please specify muse !!
Tumblr media
I have proficiencies in vehicles
Trust me, if the law hastles us, i’m the guy you want at the front of the wagon!
Bor-r-r-r-ing! No thank you, not for me.
I’m studying my cantrips!
Just say masterbating, we get it. “Don’t come in, mom! I’m studying my cantrips!”
It’s kinda tough to see… but I think shit has gone south.
I get the whole “wink wink you’re gonna be rich” vibe, but it came across as kinda murder-y.
Right! I’m… precepting…
Dude! You scared the bejeezus out of me!
Suck it up, because this is the way the game works.
It’s dangerous as hell out here, you better cowboy up.
Their warcry isn’t very creative…
I’m with you, my man! I’m always anti-tarrying! 
I guess we should go after him?
Nah, I’m good out here.
Well that sounds… nifty…?
So! How was the ominous clanking cavern?
I don’t want to talk about it.
That’s okay, I really didn’t give a shit.
Heckie darn, a cave in. Can’t get past that!
I would actually heartily recommend you turn around, this is not a great place for tourism.
Oh, excellent! I was just starting to establish a rapport!
To be fair, he wasn’t as cool as you were! 
Loooooook, my dude… I think we have gotten off on the wrong foot…
Everything’s chill my dude, prommy! 
See, now THAT’S impressive!
You weren’t kidding, you ARE dangerous! 
Smell you later! 
Oh, I’m gonna have to give you ten embarrassment points of damage… aaaaaaand ten psychic damage.
Wonderful! Now I got a pee stain!
Don’t you worry! I’m perfectly fine!
Is that… sniff sniff… roasting meat?
I need to take a knee after hawling your sorry ass…
You just HAD to go and shoot poor old [name], didn’t you? What’d he ever do to you?
Are you always so judgemental?
I’ll let you leave here alive if you do one teensy-tiny thing for me.
Hey, uh, I think this might be a trap.
Oh yeah, my dude, we’re killing everybody… Okay, maybe not kill everybody.
Gods, I love it when we plan shit out.
Okay, as you seriously going to try and befriend everything that tries to kill you?
YOU THREW MY WOLF IN THE FIRE! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE WOLF!
I cast CHILL THE FUCK OUT!
Why, it’s my dear friend, whatever-your-name-is!
Do you need any money? Can i just sort of give you everything i have?
Hey! Heeeyyyy, look at me. Look at this face. It’s [name], this is [name] talking. Would I lie to you?
All I want you to do is help me… and give me a little gold. Or maybe a moderate amount of gold. Or a lot. It’s really whatever you feel comfortable with.
You’ve cleaved the final gerblin! … Cleft? Cleavered? Clefted…? He’s fucking dead, alright? I’ll buy a thesaurus before the next battle. 
Boy! I wish I hadn’t needed to murder them! 
Save them? Before teatime? Never! 
[ name ], since we’re friends here — best friends, I would say! Lovers, maybe? Time will tell — what happened here?
Man, [ name ], when you charm someone, you charm the HELL out of them! 
Oh great, he’s a douche. [ name ] is a douche.
We’ve been wandering around here for two hours! 
We should have a map, a good ol’ adventuring map. It’s pretty standard operating procedure.
Whoever designed these caves has no sense of feng shui! 
Maybe she thinks your tractor is sexy, but you’re no longer welcome here!

SSOpromptober 2023 Wrap-up
The full series of fics can be found HERE.
So, what a month, huh? It seemed to fly by, and yet also felt like forever.
It's funny. This is the first promptober I have actually completed, and if you were to tell the me from a month ago this I would have thought you were lying. If there is any promptober I won't be able to finish, I thought, it's this one. Writing a fic for every prompt? Who was I kidding, when I had so many ideas that would just never get on paper right?
And yet I surprised myself. I finished it. I combined prompts to give myself breaks, and I missed one day which I then immediately made up for the next. I sat down and somehow the words would just come out.
To quote something I said in discord earlier this month: "Every day I wake up and sit down and write a little story that deals all of ssoblr 1d4 psychic damage."
And now there's almost 13k words in total. And it feels unreal and amazing and terrifying. But well, that's the spirit of the season isn't it?
I want to thank everyone who was here this month, but there are some I want to thank in particular:
@feliciawolfpaw, for once again making an amazing prompt list this year. You put in so much effort each year to come up with prompts and run this event, and I'm so grateful you do. SSOpromptober is, in my opinion, a highlight of ssoblr, and it wouldn't be the same without it. So once again, thank you.
@jorvikzelda, your comments each day made me smile every time, and I quickly found myself looking forward to them. I've loved seeing your reactions to each fic pop up in my notes, and overall I've just loved having you here each time along for the ride.
@shiroselia, for being so enthusiastic and supportive the whole way through, for letting me use you as a sounding board for fic ideas, and for giving me dialogue writing tips. I wouldn't have had the confidence to put this much dialogue in some of these fics if it wasn't for you.
And last, but not least, the commenters on AO3. Seeing your comments appear in my mailbox made my day.
And that ends SSOpromptober for me this year, I suppose.
I can't promise I'll do a whole month of fics next year, but I'm still already looking forward to it. And in the mean time, my ask box is open for questions!
Have a great Halloween everybody, and hopefully I'll see you all again next year!
