hey guys just here to say that the new online safety act in the uk has blocked the suicide hotline

this is extremely problematic for very obvious reasons and i have no idea what the fuck this country is fucking coming to

childline has also been restricted

if you're a uk citizen and still haven't signed the petition please do so

even if you're not a uk citizen please reblog to spread the word !!!!!

this isn't safety, it's censorship

You know what I was thinking about? Medieval/Royalty AU where Steve is a prince, who grew up alone and isolated from most people because his father was awful and thought no one was good enough to be around them.

Steve grew up by himself, with no real friends, no one he could trust. He learned really young that most people only got close to him because he was royalty; no one was interested in Steve.

Then one day this bard shows up at their castle. He’s passionate and funny and tells the best stories. Steve is awed.

The King, however, is not impressed. He’s not very fond of art, thinks the whole thing is pointless and a waste of time, so the bard is not allowed into the castle very often. And that angers Steve in a way it’s new to him.

Because he’s always followed his father’s rules without questioning. He’s been the best son and heir a king could wish for, he’s spent years of his life learning things he’s not interested in because his father says it is his duty, and he’s never asked for anything in return. And after all this, Steve can’t even hear some stories because his father says it’s useless.

For the first time in his life, Steve rebels. In his own way, but he does.

He finds out the bard is telling stories almost every day in the market, so Steve sneaks out of the castle and goes there to watch whatever tale he is telling that day. He spots the man easily, it’s impossible not to.

The bard starts with the usual adventures children love so much. He sings about a group of friends that fought together to defeat a horrible monster who was trying to conquer their village; they face hardships and dangerous enemies, but they are victorious because together they are stronger than any monster could ever dream of being.

The children cheer and clap when the man finishes his tale, and Steve joins them. The next story is about two lovers who find each other again after years of separation and heartbreak; this one makes Steve tear up a little.

Then, in the softest of voices, the bard starts singing about a prince, so beautiful and so kind, who’s admired by his people but always looks so, so sad. No one seems to understand the reason behind his sadness; he’s a prince after all. They think it’s because the prince is lonely, but there’s no way for them to know that because very few people are allowed to get close to him. If only the prince knew how much his people love him and how much they wish they could show him that.

By the time the bard finishes his song, Steve is full on crying because that song is about him, isn’t it? It has to be, there’s no way it isn’t.

The bard follows with a happier song, but Steve is not listening anymore. He’s too shaken up for that. He pulls his cloak closer to hide himself and goes back to the castle in a hurry, heart beating fast and feet unsteady. Luckly enough, his absence goes unnoticed.

This is all the incentive Steve needs to turn his little escapade into a habit.

Whenever he can, Steve pulls on his common clothes, his cloak and sneaks out of the castle. He doesn’t find the bard every time, but the man is at the market frequently enough that Steve becomes quite familiar with his songs and tales. The song about the sad prince makes Steve emotional every single time.

Then one day, when Steve is making the way back to the castle, he runs into the bard. Better yet, he spots the bard sitting somewhere close to the road, as if he’s waiting for something or someone. He has his fiddler with him and is playing a familiar tune.

“Hey there, princeling,” the man greets, waving at Steve. “Did you enjoy the show today?”

Steve stops in his tracks, alarmed. Has the bard been waiting for him here? How did he even get here so fast? Twenty minutes ago, the man was playing and singing in the market square.

“Calm down, I’m not gonna do anything to you if that’s your concern, Your Highness.” Standing up, the bard slings his fiddler over his back and saunters towards Steve until they’re face to face. “I just wanted to say hi to my most distinguished fan. You’ve been coming here a lot lately, I’m honored to know someone so important appreciates my humble art.”

Steve is hyperaware of how close they are and, yet, for some reason, he doesn’t feel threatened at all. Rationally, he knows he should. He doesn’t know this man, he doesn’t even know his name. For all Steve knows, this bard could actually be an assassin in disguise. Still, something in the man’s eyes seems too honest for Steve to feel in danger.

So, instead of doing the smart thing and running back to the castle without looking back, Steve blurts. “Is that song about me?”

“What song?”

“The one about the sad prince.”

And the bard… the bard smiles so bright and fond at him that Steve’s heart skips a beat.

(The fact that the man is easily one of the most handsome men Steve has ever laid eyes on might also have something to do with that.)

“You noticed that, huh!?” the bard chuckles as he takes a step closer, his eyes never leaving Steve’s as he does so. “Will you give me the pleasure of your company if I say it is?”

“Why?”

“Because I’d like to know you, Steve. If you let me, of course.”

Not trusting his own voice, Steve nods, despite the mix of anxiety and exhilaration bubbling in his chest.

“Excellent.” The bard bows his head briefly before offering his hand. “I’m Eddie, by the way. Lovely to finally meet you."

Steve takes his hand without a second of hesitation.

A Steve Harrington shit wingman-ing fic idea

Dustin and Robin are both trying to set Steve up with Nancy. Both are bad at matchmaking, Nancy is dating Jonathan when they team up. They don't care, they want their boy to be happy. They both try to break Jancy up while putting Steve and Nancy in 'romantic' situations (Their ideas all come from romcoms, so go terribly in the real world)

meanwhile, Nancy is trying to set up Robin and Steve. She isn't as invested in this as Dustin and Robin are, but she doesn't want Steve to be alone, and him and Robin clearly love each other. Her attempts to set up double dates with her and Jonathan, which end terribly, or suggest they go to the movies or out to dinner together. Those plans half work; they do go on a date, but they never get together (Robin and Steve go on friendship dates all the time, they both think Nancy is being nice and recommending things). Dustin somehow also gets involved with Nancy's scheming.

Eddie is aware of both these plots to some degree, so is completely oblivious to Steve's attempts at dating him.

Hopper also gets involved. He clocks Steve's crush on Eddie, and immediatley thinks FUCK NO, and tries to get Steve to self actualise or something so he stays single. Lots of movie nights, babysitting and occasional fishing trips are forced upon Steve. Joyce gets involved with this plot, but only because she wants to look after Steve and make him happy.

They all think they are being sneaky as fuck but Steve has known about this nearly since the beginning. Jonathan, El and Will are helping him mess with them.
