#~interviews {headcanons}

just imagine rockstar! eddie releasing a new album, where one of the songs is called “a voice from above”. in it, he sings about a heavenly voice coming to him in the hardest, darkest hour of his life, when he was ready to give up and stopped seeing a future for himself, and calling him towards the light, coaxing the best out of him and pulling him up from the pit of despair eddie was slowly drowning in.

and it’s a rock ballad, so it differs quite a bit from cc’s usual style, is more “palatable” to the general public with it’s slower tempo, gentler melody and hauntingly beautiful vocals, with addition of a choir in the climax. and because of that, christians start claiming it (basically what happened with “take me to church”), newspapers and magazines wonder at eddie munson, the man a large part of whose aesthetic was so often referred to as “satanic” by the general public, with seemingly no denial from cc, who seemingly has finally found his way to religion.

and when cc comes to their next interview, the question of whether the great non-conformist eddie munson, who on multiple occasions dragged the christian church through the mud with accusations of hypocrisy and fostering bigotry in its midst in his songs and public speeches, has finally found god, inevitably comes up. the moment cc hear it they burst out laughing. after a while, eddie finally responds.

“this song is full of religious motifs, but not nearly for the same reasons you guys seem to think it is. it’s just that the experience the song is dedicated to was the closest i think i ever came to understanding what makes people come to real, genuine faith, the one that fills you with clarity, love and acceptance for the world around you, makes you feel like a part of something so much larger and greater than a mortal human being can possibly comprehend or reach on their own. that experience being the voice of the man that i came to love reaching me while i was in coma and reminding me of all the reasons life was worth fighting for, and then keeping inspiring me to be the best version of myself throughout my whole life.

and that, folks, is how being incredibly gay can save your life! i also don’t mind christians blasting “a voice from above” on their little church parties: my husband, after all, is definitely an angel on earth and absolutely deserves to be worshipped. but don’t you worry, i’m handling that pretty well on my own” and he winks at the camera.

and that’s how the world finds out that eddie munson is married.

#because i genuinely think that eddie would channel a lot of his religious trauma in his music #while also having an example of healthy faith from wayne #or wayne doesn’t even have to be religious #as a person who hates religious institutions while still thinking that the world’s religions can be incredible and inspiring #i’m bestowing my worldviews on poor unsuspecting eddie #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #rockstar eddie munson #get steve harrington to be loved and appreciated agenda #steve cried when he watched this interview for the first time btw #will rockstar! eddie au ever release me from it’s clutches? it remains to be seen #steddie hcs #steddie headcanon #eddie munson hcs #what god? the only thing i worship is my husband’s ginormous beautiful ti- #- eddie munson at some point #yes that parallel with take me to church is there for a reason

Modern AU Popstar Steve Harrington posts a TikTok that has the text "paparazzi decided to crash our anniversary dinner so I guess this is me coming out before they can spoil it" overlaid on a video that shows a very amused looking Steve, before the camera flips to show equally famous frontman of metal band Corroded Coffin, Eddie Munson, standing on top of a car with a fancy camera in one hand, and the other flipping the bird to someone on the ground who is visibly screaming up at him. The audio is just "Bisexual Anthem" by Domo Wilson and that's how Steve comes out AND how their fans find out they're dating

I think that as a kid Lestat had a speech impediment of the thoughts too fast for his mouth to keep up variety, so he stuttered like crazy, also def slurred over his words while he rambled super fast and couldn’t pronounce his rs. Meanwhile Armand didn’t speak until he was like 7 and once he started he was the most articulate 7 yr old on planet earth

Ashley Zuckerman on Ken and Nate's backstory together in Shanghai. (x)

Also, if anyone has wants a drop more of Ken and Nate interacting, additional dialogue below from "The Disruptor" demonstrating that Ken and Nate were probably the most annoying people at every bar or party in Shanghai (with bonus Ken and Shiv needling each other).

The below is the deleted dialogue from a slightly extended version of the scene that already appears in "The Disruptor" but including it for the 5 people looking for Kennate crumbs.

#I feel like we moved on from Kennate too quickly #also deeply invested in trying to figure out whether dating one of Kendall's friends was a benefit or a drawback for Shiv #on the one hand she stole one of Ken's friends (assuming he was Kendall's friend first) so that's a win #however he is also actually friends with Kendall which is an inherent drawback #i have a whole thing of headcanons on this I'm so tempted to post... #kennate #kendall roy #nate sofrelli #cast interviews #hbo succession #succession #shiv roy #ashley zukerman

amc's armanddaniel reminds me of richard siken's quote that goes like "how much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it's some kind of murder?" but like it implies directly to my headcanon i have that somehow devil's minion did happen in the amc iwtv universe (shush don't ask me for the logistics, i am just a humble lil devil's minion whore)

my HC for ASS trio’s music preferences is that the three of them listen to different kinds of rock music. with sam, he’s into more metal and hardcore punk. abigail is a gothic rock chick, siouxsie and the banshees CHANGED her life. and sebastian is into deep cuts of alt rock (though he enjoys hüsker dü and sonic youth who are more popular). however, they don’t mind each other’s tastes, they even listen to them together and give recommendations. sleepovers in seb’s basement with bauhaus blasting softly as they sleep is like a religious ritual for them.

the three of them shares another bond by hating oasis and clowning them together. sam would play that goddamned intro in acoustic because he's a little shit like that and he'll get oncoming pillows thrown at him.

#‘seb listens to mcr’ is too mainstream #i mean sure. i love mcr. but also they’re in the 90s in my head so i just cannot see that #sorry #i don't have anything against oasis but i remember that 2011 the independent brian molko interview #and i thought “i can see seb say this” #so ass trio hating oasis hc was born #stardew valley #sdv #stardew valley headcanons #sdv headcanons #sdv sam #sdv abigail #sdv sebastian #stardew sam #stardew abigail #stardew sebastian

Trigger warning: Discussion of past sexual assualt and mention of domestic violence (fictional).

HC: Dick donates one of his Nightwing suits to a What Were You Wearing exhibit to destigmatise male rape.

He does a single interview with a carefully-vetted reporter in response to the media explosion.

Exerpt below.

Reporter: Despite your flashy and talkative superhero persona, you've actually been quite good at keeping details of your personal life close to the vest for all these years.

Nightwing: (chuckle) Yeah, that's a pretty big part of having a secret identity. Talk lots, say nothing. When in doubt, throw in a pun or two.

Reporter: So after, what is it, ten, fifteen years of being a public figure-

Nightwing: More than twenty, now.

Reporter: Twenty! Gosh you're making me feel old.

Nightwing: Me too.

Reporter: So after more than two decades of being in the public eye as Nightwing, you've chosen to reveal a part of your life, some would say arguably one of the most vulnerable and private parts of your life. Why now?

Nightwing: It definitely wasn't a quick decision. I think that for any survivor of crime, it's important that they take time to heal and process things. Particularly for something like rape or domestic assualt, so much agency is taken away from you and I think for me, owning my story was a really important part of feeling like I could take control back.

Reporter: And you wanted to take control in a way that helped other people.

Nightwing: Not at first. I wasn't- It wasn't something I immediately thought like, "Oh, now I can relate to victims better on the job, how can I use this for good" kind of thing. I was really- For a long time, like years, I just wanted to pretend it didn't happen. Like it was the same as any other injury I'd get being Nightwing, or Robin, or whatever, like it wasn't any different.

Reporter: But it was different.

Nightwing: Yeah. I mean for one thing, it wasn't really an injury. I mean, there's no such thing as luck here, or being more raped or less raped, but in my case, I didn't have physical injuries. I wasn't- it wasn't like I was overpowered and beaten or anything like that. So I didn't feel like there was anything to "recover" from, if that makes sense. And I think there's also a lot of shame that went along with that, as a man, as a superhero, as someone who's used to being the strong one and the one who protects people, there was a lot of shame I felt. Like, if this was really rape then it would have been more violent, and I'd have been able to fight her off, and my body wouldn't have responded... All of that.

Reporter: All things that I'm sure you've heard from other victims, over the years.

Nightwing: Yeah. And that's something, I didn't want to be a victim. That wasn't- Nobody wants to be a victim, but I've spent most of my life helping people and being the hero, so it was impossible for me, for a long time, to do that cognitive shift and think of myself as both. Like, yes I'm a hero, yes I'm strong, and yes I was also assaulted and yes I need help to deal with this.

Reporter: So it was a long time before you told anyone.

Nightwing: Yeah. It was actually my broth- It was someone in my family, who noticed some things I said and some ways that I acted, and confronted me about it.

Reporter: Confronted?

Nightwing: Yeah. That's how it felt, anyway. I was really defensive at first. I was still in denial and wasn't really in a place to talk about it.

Reporter: But you did.

Nightwing: Well, he didn't really give me a choice, ha. It was- and you can cut this out later, if he doesn't want me to say it- but it was Red Hood. He's got a lot of experience with survivors and he's stubborn as shit so I didn't stand a chance. I think part of me also, I think I was ready to tell someone. I think I needed to accept what had happened.

Reporter: So it was the right time for some tough love.

Nightwing: Some tough brotherly love, yeah.

Bruce gives progressively worse and worse interviews to farm boy Clark Kent just to troll his best friend.

The important thing to understand about Armand’s autism is that his unnatural way of behaving, the coldness and the blank expression, are the mask. Armand is not someone who is naturally numb and inexpressive, he arguably tends to be more hysterical than Lestat! When Armand is unmasked he’s over emotive and struggles a ton with emotional regulation, and his way of masking that is to restrain his reactions and appear distant and unaffected. Armand is not the type of autistic person who is monotone bcus of his autism, he’s the complete opposite! The other end of the spectrum. His emotional reactions are so off putting and extreme that he masks by stifling them. Armand in his natural state screams and sobs like he’s being killed, tears at his hair when he’s unhappy, frowns so intensely that he “looks horrific” when angry, laughs uproariously like a child, etc. I get the vibe that many Armand Autism Truthers see him as someone who makes minimal effort to appear socially acceptable/mask and operates in his comfortable, natural state of flatness + strangeness, but this doesn’t seem to be the case to me!! Armand is like a tiny compacted ball of Big Feelings that is being weakly constrained with wide blank eyes, an unreadable frown, and dissociation.

Aroace Hobie who purposely writes love songs about the most mundane items on his boat.

If someone asks about the item (thinking it's a metaphor for a person) he will bring said object to them and introduce it as if it was a real person.

Bruce Wayne, doing an interview after his secret identity got leaked: "Yes I've been operating for several years-- what? Why do you look so horrified?"

The reporter: "It's so weird hearing you speak without the Brucie voice."

Bruce:...

Bruce, changing his voice to be more amused and higher pitched: "Can we get back to the interview now?"

Reporter: "Was everything a lie?"

#obviously this is a joke if his identity got revealed one Lois Lane would be the first to get to interview him #or maybe Clark #but I think Lois #Bruce in time will come to miss the playboy persona #bruce wayne #identity shenanigans #batman #dc comics #my stupid headcanons
