Ed Edd and Eddy succeeds at what Haz/boss attempts

Here's another series both these shows could learn from.

Spoilers ahead.

Ed Edd and Eddy, another hyperactive crazy gag cartoon that is hardly for its supposed target audience. With a very basic plot, it's a lot like Helluva boss, yet it manages to move any story along faster than the more serious plot driven but still wacky Hazbin hotel.

We have obnoxious lead characters pushing business in an unappealing looking and feeling environment where good and bad and right and wrong are ambiguous. Only accountability and growth are highly prominent in the kids show.

Initial plots

Assassin imps who sit at the bottom of society are determined to make this small business work.

Antichrist princess of hell runs a hotel where she wants to redeem sinners in order to send them to heaven.

Kids who grift for money and candy.

Characters

Eddy is a lot like both Charlie and Blitzø, he's a hyper, toxic positive, opportunistic try hard, desperate for his ideas to work, he's leader of the pack who's good at being dismissive and driven to the point of carelessness.

Like Blitzø and co. and pilot Charlie and co., the Ed's are not established at what they're working towards, but they're willing to put in the work which only leads to misadventures.

Excluding Charlie as she barely gets the time of day, the fake it till you make it demeanor Eddy and Blitzø display masks saddens, loneliness and a lack of control of how they live and how they've been living.

Blitzø glides through his show on charisma and sympathy, along with facing someone objectively worst, his behaviour being rude and mean spirited is something nobody cares about and he like those around him can step up on anybody of any standing and their actions be shrugged off.

Eddy too is a charismatic and sympathetic character, his constant trying and failing at his ideas offers us a good underdog, yet he's no hero, he's a scammer and his unsavoury ways always bother people. He gets confronted a lot.

Charlie glides through on being a nice enough side character, dispite being the lead. Though like Ed, Charlie is very determined to push an idea and get others on side, but lacking in fight, assertiveness and aggression. All three leads are fast talking salesman types, yet Ed faces consequence on the regular.

HB and EED feature additional leads that serve as the primary leads sidekicks.

We have the highly similar Moxxie and Edd, though Edd stands up for himself a more, there have been fall outs and he doesn't treat his leader of the pack as a superior, something Moxxie does dispite being there since Blitzø business was just an idea, which was when they first met, welcoming Blitzø into his life.

Both are timid, sensible, cultured and full of ideas, dragged into the problems their pushy leader presents and walked all over, much to their frustration.

We also have the friendly and loyal bruiser sidekick who doesn't really have a lot to contribute in this group dynamic. These characters being Millie and Ed, yet were Millie could speak up more, have an opinion and let her presence be known but she doesn't, Ed on the other hand is consistently operating from elsewhere.

Target audience

Helluva and Hazbin are both adult cartoons, yet clean up the dialogue and that's hardly the case. Yes there's gore and mature themes but they make up a small part in upping the age rating in comparison to the swearing and sex jokes. The mature themes are offered to us in layman's terms, we get a lot of flashbacks and confessions.

Ed Edd and Eddy is for all audiences dispite being violent, featuring sexual harrassment, domestic violence and child abuse, the execution of these mature themes are played out in a nuanced manner where we are not spoon fed information.

Mature themes - trauma

Dispite being a comically violent gag cartoon, all the children, dispite being at odds with Eddy, some being volatile ob the regular and some being younger, were able to understand what domestic violence was when Eddy was bullied by his brother, his brother being a character Eddy had long hyped up as someone cool and admirable, turned out the only truth was that this guy existed.

His own revelation that he had fabricated a big part of his background explained a lot, all of Eddy's charisma and try hard ways were determination to be liked, appreciated and have nice thing. This was growth for him and he earned the respect and understanding of his peers absent of pity, everybody moved on happily without the audience being guided into what they should perceive.

The movie not only wrapped up the show, but bought completion to the whole story.

Helluva and Hazbin is very overt in showing us what the characters have been through and are going through. We get flashbacks to childhood even when it may not be necessary.

First off, Moxxie's flashback was fine, it wasn't particularly dramatic for its setting, it explained why he was a good marksman and why he had 'daddy issues', his daddy is also an active threat, so Moxxie's avoidance doesn't always work out.

Blitzø desperation to have his business work out leading him to make a dodgy deal fit perfectly fine, we learn that his kind are at the bottom of society, we see that they don't work anywhere glamorous and he's no kid, obviously he's had to make an effort to keep his head above water, his poor decision making has probably gotten him into trouble in the past which is something that could spell endless storylines, his family aren't present and he's aggressively forming a new one so bridges being burned were storylines the audience should have expected, we learnt that he stole from Verosika and broke her heart, Verosika is a whole sucubus who seemed more cut up about in him than him interested in her.

Did we really need to know that he was manipulated into being a user and a thief back when he was an innocent little child? Weren't his underhanded tactics understand enough?

Charlie got a flashback of being a very small child expressing an interest in what her daddy was doing but her now absent mother took her away. This provided the backbone for her sulking that her dad isn't being supportive when he presented himself as a rare character to challenge her ideas, yet unlike the other extras to do so he had the vantage point of having had the same ideals herself once.

Her mother being probably the most like minded person in her life yet absent, for some reason doesn't matter.

Mature themes - SA

In Hazbin we have a pimp who films porn and has his workers in soul contracts.

We have royalty lending out a grimore in exchange for kinky sex over in Helluva.

Sex jokes are a regular occurrence in the helluveese with actual SA being downplayed by the victim who holds no power and no to little choice, who openly shows a discomfort around their controller, not be a victim because they gave reluctant consent.

Sexual harassment and SA manage to be present in EEE in an overt manner despite the show being for all audiences, yet they also manage subtlety.

The pests are the Canker sisters, three intimidating sister with different dads who all want boyfriends and are a force to be reckoned with, they stick together and double up as school and neighbours bullies and are casually violent to one another with no hurt feelings. They have snuck on to the Ed's properties and even the most ferocious of charaters fear them, these girls want their way with their targets and little stops them, so they hold a lot of power, it really makes for a good hierarchy.

Though there is self awareness here, they have been stood up to for their aggressive advances and in one episode they had their pushy ways reflected back at them and were terrified, only this wasn't undone by a new episode rolling around and all that was done being undone, but normality was restored when they smelt fear, a predators equivalent of blood in water to a shark. This allowed a major plot progression to occur yet be reversed effectively, opposed to HH and HB offering big plot progress such as Blitzø and Moxxie's capture and heart to heart or Charlie showing up at Angeldust's work, which both go on to make no difference to future episodes as if they didn't happen.

The subtlety with their characters comes from the surprising adult joke of the different fathers which insinuates that their behaviour is something they're used to seeing, also, they are children, what chance have they had to learn empathy and decency? Who will teach them?

Which leads on to a major plot point of all these shows.

Elders are to blame

Where both Helluva boss and Hazbin hotel are big on daddy issues and absent mothers, Ed Edd and Eddy doesn't feature parent at all. We only follow children doing as they please wherever they may be. We don't see teachers even though we see them at school. We don't see neighbours even though the world around them is often being trashed. On the occasion we do meet a seemingly adult character it's away from the series and in the movie, it's a truely big deal that lives up to any hype, then the story is over.

Adversaries

In the Helluverse, villainy is selectively embraced, the tone of who we should root for and who we shouldn't is clearly set. Where we have full blown predators and dictators being pushed as essentric and the other cheek turned to their actions and intentions, Valention is just running business and Stolas and Blitzø have a thing going on.

Some are even counterproductive, how did Lucifer being at the heart of everything not matter or care to be addressed? Why does Charlie not care about the sinners Alastor and Rosie cannibalized?

We then have had prominent adversaries who the tone depicts as baddies we shouldn't like and a real treat, however both series gave us a 'big fat stupid jerk' who nobody had issues humiliating. Nobody cares about what they have to say or their contributions.

Female adversarie haven't been much of a threat, they get to have spats with the character who in the spotlight, sympathetic and in the right.

What did Glitz and Glam do that was so wrong? Was Stella not a scorned woman cheated, publicly humiliated and given no choice but to leave her home,

later revealed to have the same sad backstory as Stolas yet less freedom in the present?

Females tend to be sexualised 'super bitches' with their bitchyness being what matters, not what is directed at them, but ultimately it doesn't matter at the same time because they don't matter. Over in HH, we have basic Lilith as a twist shady character lounging on the beach while war is happening and her daughter struggles? Why is this is an issue when her husband is yet to be confronted and probably never will be? Same 'bitch' who come between daddy and daughter.

There's also fellow basic Lute whose actions truly should should make her stand out but don't for no reason at all, yet would they get half the spotlight if they weren't designed cute?

Who knows, since every female to get some time has been 'pretty', but no doubt the same dismissive attitude would be sent their way if they absolutely had to be seen.

Ed Edd and Eddy have a variety of different local kids to serve as friends or foes. The perpetrator depends.

They tend to be common trophes that are built upon, take jerkish because he can be local mean kid Kevin, who sees the Ed's as dorks and feels the need to let them know it.

The highly aggressive Sarah is almost entirely reactive, yet as violent and strong as she is, she has no more courage than anyone else and is seen gaging when to pick her battles or being to frightened to make her presence known. She is a nice friend to Jimmy and mainly a menace because she is a bratty little girl who is harder to avoid than others since she's Ed's sister.

Some are decent like pretty and well liked Naz who is rather mature and isn't going to let herself get walked all over

and foregin kid Rolf with his unusual customs, a hard working and principled kid who will call out anyone

but how much patience should a nice enough person have? Especially when lot of the time it's the Ed's, generally Eddy, making trouble for others.

Ed's main barrier to success is his struggle impress or screw these others over, there's no shying away from his behaviour bothering people yet he still manages to hold up as a fun, eccentric lead.

Location

In the Helluverse, this is hell but only when it suits. The scenery of HB has looked rather spacious, vibrant and appealing while the harsh colours of the HH series in heaven or hell are bold, the ceiling we were offered in the pilot which offered a claustrophobic entrapment seems a thing of the past, it looks very big and open once we step outside of Charlie's hotel, even the colour relax to something more neutral.

There is a lack of depravity with powerful leaders we are to like being toned down, the sin of lust believes in consent always, the sin of gluttony worries about over indulgence and the actual devil is just a fun dorky dad who doesn't appear to be doing anything in particular. Anyone portrayed as a victim serves to tug at the viewers heartstrings and be cute and likeable in that moment.

Charlie has a big fancy hotel that isn't going anywhere and welcomes sinners, former humans who are spawned into a middle class.

Over in HB the demons have raised hell on earth, arriving to carry out hits, bringing forth monsters, demonic possession, lude acts infront of minors, showing true forms and being responsible for some of the most gory scenes.

All with no consequence. It's like the setting serves primarily as a way to incorporate fun character designs with the various races.

EEE gives us a bunch of unsupervised kids who can do what they want in this unattractive environment that uses a strange colour scheme with a lack of contrast that gives a closed in feel. It is entirely lawless, non serious, so OTT that anything goes, physics need not apply.

For years people have theorized that these characters aren't living and that this may be set in limbo or purgatory. Be this the case or not, this series succeeds at giving us a very off backdrop to compliment its total lack of realism.

9-1-1 S8x04 Liveblog Notes

This episode starts and ends with Bobby being underestimated by Gerrard in completely unique ways. Amazing.

Underrated line: "So they took my house from me. Yes, it was humiliating. Well, I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I'm back." I really don't think Gerrard is fully gone. We know there will be more Hotshots + Brad this season. Gerrard is a man who survives out of spite, and there are depths of his hatred we don't even know.

I'm so curious about how Gerrard has, if I remember correctly, said mooks twice. Gerrard/Sal OTP.

As long as we're going to talk about Gerrard, I'm adding this here much, much later: awful, terrible people have good sides to them. This will always be true, especially for powerful people. I've seen a few different interpretations of "Tight End," but I'm going to be real with you all from someone who grew up in male spaces? This is affection. This is Old Guard shit. It is not good. It is the kind of preferential affection that tells you that you're on thin ice but you're special enough or good enough if you work hard, and you've been noticed. Your name will always be your strongest weakness. Someone has their eye on you. You can be called out by the leader something awful, but at least you have a name. (My coach's name for me was "Bruiser.")

Buck is terrible at golf. I feel like there was a lot of spec this episode about his outfit: that's just a golf outfit. Buck strikes me as the kind of guy who knows how to socially fake appearances, and Gerrard isn't calling him on his terrible performance here. NOTABLY: in terms of performance, Oliver Stark can act his way through terrible drives down the line with the addition of SFX and flailing with the net, but I'm still frustrated at how capable he was in the basketball montage in s7 after Buck is supposed to hate/suck at basketball.

Yes, you can be good at a sport and hate it. That's me with golf. That's Buck with basketball.

Someday, if anyone ever wants, I would love to nerd out about how they blocked and choreographed the basketball scene, because it DOES make me a little crazy.

Did they actually play a full 18 after this? And Buck survived?

The apartment Bobby and Athena are looking at is at least $2mil. It actually looks like several listings where I was trying to gauge new build in surrounding neighborhoods when I was writing "An Outlier."

Michael... plans. I find it a little weird that Athena would do it, a lot weird she would do it without Bobby. Bobby and Michael had a good relationship! But then Athena was excited! It's a weird way to navigate how Michael can't physically appear in the show anymore. It almost feels like a regression, because Bobby and Michael were so close. Michael would probably have reached out to Bobby if Athena reached out to him. I miss their made, intentional, yet triumphant family so much (including May and Harry).

I was SO into Chimney pointing out the obvious about the blueprints until he made it about the 118-- although his Gerrard impression was the unsettling kind of impressive.

The tiger would have simply become friends with me and I would have called 9-1-1 while we were chilling on the couch together. But I would have told them it was okay and to never come because I found my best friend forever.

Crazy that they had to use a tranq dart. I simply would have entered the apartment and said hello and the tiger would have recognized me as a friend and we would have left together laughing over shared interests.

I totally think Eddie violated HIPAA contacting an underage patient's parent without his OR his guardian's permission. Eddie also showed said parent photos of his son's injury that Eddie had taken without permission. The mother even clarified that she would not notify the father. For me, the biggest implication here is that Eddie's on-the-job performance (despite being impeccable during the emergency itself) could begin to suffer, or his ability to remain impartial in situations will continue to take hits before it gets better without Christopher.

People are BIG MAD about the above opinion on Reddit. Why are you booing me, I'm right.

I had an HR post script about how Bobby financially runs his department here and how he underhires with overperformers to navigate attrition, but it is lost to time. I guess we will never know how my sexy HR brain works in a situation that it has never been in, but I'm sure I was right, because I always am.

A kinda Must Love Dogs modern harringroveson au. Steve is a pencil pusher at his dads business but has an unbriddled talent for art, especially the macabre monsters that he draws crawling out of swimming pools. Steve is also in need of a date, it has been decided. So roommate Robin creates a profile on a dating app with little input from Steve, mostly just tacking onto the end 'must love dogs' so he can try for a fun-loving personality. Steve gets a few responses, men and women alike, and goes on a couple horrendous dates. Then he meets up with Billy.

The funny bit is that Steve doesn't even have a dog. He takes Robin's pomeranian to the dog park date with him (its robins exes dog, she doesn't even like little dogs). Billy shows up with this bruiser of a pitbull, short and buff and blue nosed. But that dog isn't his either, it belongs to his sister Max.

It comes out that Billy recently moved to town to help her step mom and step sister after his dad ran out on them. Step mom is doing her best with her alcoholism and Max is trying to control her anger issues and Billy has his own history of abuse to contend with. Steve was not prepared for the level of human that Billy was, for honesty and bite and bitter joy. He's really into it and they decide to meet up for another dog date the following week.

So then comes along Eddie. Eddie works at the local radio station, sings metal and hard rock at all the events and also owns one giant behemoth of a dog. Long haired black wolf looking thing that most people are afraid of but who clearly adores Eddie. Steve has known of Eddie from high school but their paths rarely crossed, with Steve being into sports and Eddie being a delinquent nerd, but Steve had always known he was attractive. Running into him at the dog park after his time spent with Billy hits him hard across the face, like woah, who is this witty flirt with a tongue ring?

Billy also runs into Eddie at the dog park a couple days later, meeting him for the first time and instantly hitting it off with talk of bands and rock n roll.

The three of them dance around eachother for months before it's finally realized what they are doing, how they are all essentially dating eachother without even communicating it, and how they should all actually date for real. This is when Eddie learns that neither Steve nor Billy own a dog and is accordingly devastated and betrayed. They all go to a punk show as an apology.

Thank you so much to everyone who's been voting thus far. We've got less than 300 wrestlers left to sift through and the competition is starting to seriously heat up. Keep an eye out for Round 3, starting tomorrow!

[cricketgutz]

If the heartbreaker crew played video games what rooms everyone's favorites be (or if they do play video games?? @eddie do you have games on your you) what's their favourite candy flavours? What's your favourite detail about each of them?

Eddie's a counterstrike oldhead. White likes boomer shooters. I have to imagine Felix would go for deck builders or anything in the "wholesome" realm. Zeki will go for anything that give him an excuse to take some stimulants and make spreadsheets

Candies is hard... Eddie likes bitter stuff, so dark chocolate maybe. Similarly, I think Zeki would go for any chocolate with fruit in it for the drama. White will take all of your blue raspberry jolly ranchers. Felix, I'm not sure... something un-american like black currant probably

Favorite details... there's so many... Let me pick some out of a hat. When it comes to what's badass, White has the sensibilities of a ten year old boy. Zeki has a weighted body pillow that is just a giant plush centipede. Felix is built like a bruiser and fights like one, but he's super well trained with a sword. Something I've done more with Eddie lately is given him some "antiquated" (old? 70's sleaze? for lack of a better word?) kinks- there's something charming to me about a middle-aged-to-old guy being turned on by leather, motorcycles, patent stilettos, steamy phone calls, and full body hair. he's cute to me

[torra-and-the-toons]

If you have any, what is your headcanon on the type of pets the Cul-De-Sac kids would own? I always imagined Kevin having this big rottweiler who looks mean but she is just a big sweet heart who will slobber you and the worst she'll do is tackle you in a hug. I know Double-Dee has his plants and ant farm but I can see him with a 2 ferrets. What about you?

I've mentioned Isaac before, I don't remember the extent to which I've talked about him! I like to imagine, since it was stated in "Take this Ed and Shove It," that Double Dee owns a cat in his old age, I figured he might own others throughout his younger life too! I thought it would be fun to continue a trend of him naming his cats after famous people of intelligence so I made him a cat named Isaac, who actually plays a minor role in ch2 of the comic! And may eventually have a comic of his own depicting how Double Dee found him.

As for the others, I agree with you on Kevin. Some kind of big bruiser dog, maybe even a pittie since those dogs are known for supposedly being "dangerous breeds" but actually having the biggest hearts. I could see Eddy's parents getting a little mutt terrier and Eddy pretends like he hates them but he can't help but to fall in love.

I could see Ed getting some kind of bearded dragon or a lizard of some kind since he's like allergic to everything else XD It would be the only thing he takes better care of than himself.

Honestly it would be really funny if Jonny kept a racoon as a pet, or some weird wild creature he found as a baby and nurtured back to health, but can't release it back to the wild. Maybe a squirrel.

Rolf already has a ton of animals but it would be fun if he got a really well trained Sheepdog for the farm, like nothing can faze this dog.

Getting to the point in the G1 where I’m prioritizing what matches to watch immediately, then checking out the other ones I’m interested in later. And man. I’m really into the storytelling of Gabe Kidd and Yuya Uemura.

There’s the wrestlers who I knew are must see and we expect them to do great (ZSJ, Takeshita, Shingo, Cobb), but this G1 is really to highlight new stars and see new potential, and Kidd and Yuya have really grabbed me. I already liked Gabe before, but he’s cemented himself for me I think. And Yuya’s presentation/booking has been really inconsistent lately so idk what to feel about him coming into this.

But they’ve been my mvps as I’m watching. I think it’s because they feel kinda old school in a way? Just really strong basic understanding of how to be a good black and white heel/face without coming off like a cartoon character or using irony or cheap heat or overdone; they feel genuine and simple. Gabe is a very extra character, but I feel like he’s dialed it down, and you can believe a guy like him exists irl in a fashion like how Eddie Kingston is extra but you know guys like Eddie exist. Whereas you see heels like EVIL or MJF, they’re very cartoony or super evil (pardon the pun). Their movesets reflect this too, like, Gabe’s a classic ground based brawler in the same vein as Hanson, Steve Williams, Bruiser Brody etc. Yuya feels like a firey young shonen protagonist come to life but not annoying, almost like a young Tanahashi but in a different flavor. Not very flashy movesets, but they know how to use them well and act very well in the ring. It’s refreshing in the current climate, not to say modern wrestling is bad, but I love the variety these two offer right now.

I still think they both need to develop/flesh out their act more, but I desperately want to see them have a long term rivalry. Gabe kinda already has a feud in a similar fashion of brawler heel vs pure babyface with Shota, but idk I love Shota but Yuya’s babyface performance has blown the young guys out of the park for me personally. Gabe’s already cooking with Shota so just imagine him going up against a fully formed Yuya. I’m really excited for the future of njpw

Kevin started to spread the word that Edd was challenged to face Jimmy at The Pit. Even Sarah and Nazz were getting worried. Ed, on the other hand was trying to replace Edd with Double G, an egg with the same beanie as Double D while Eddy brought him to The Pit, while Jonny carried them.

"Out of the way, make room, best friend of the school bruiser coming through! So move if you know what's good for you!" Eddy shouted to the group as Edd checked his watch, bored. "Jimmy, are you crazy? He's gonna turn you into cold cuts!" Sarah said to Jimmy worried. "Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, Sarah!" Jimmy said to his friend.

"Spare the cliches, twerp, 'cause Double D's gonna mop the floor with that curly head of yours!" Eddy shouted to Jimmy. "You still have time to yield to your inevitable fate of losing to me, Jimmy. Make haste, before I change my mind!" Edd spoke going on with Jimmy's plan. "The pasty boy is done for!" Rolf spoke. "I got your knuckle sandwich with a side of black eye right here!" Jimmy shouted to Edd. "Poor Jimmy!" Nazz spoke with worry.

Hikari was helping Double D with the chick egg project in the science lab. She decorated hers with a bow and a diaper.

"Greetings, fellow Cluckers!" Edd shouted using a megaphone. "The Happy Cluckers Club is now called to order." He said examining an egg under an incubator thoroughly.

Jonny sweats as Edd looks it over. "Egg-ceptional progress, Jonny." Edd congratulated.

"Right on! We're gonna have us a family, buddy!" Jonny shouted to Plank, happily. "And what do we have here?" Edd asked about Hikari's egg. "Your egg looks adorable as you, Hikari. A perfect match." Edd smiled.

Please a Legally Blonde Steddie AU could bang

Steve is sick of everyone thinking he’s an idiot just because he decided to study cosmetology and not something ‘academic’, he’s even pretty sure that his ex girlfriend Nancy Wheeler broke up with him because he was too ���stupid’ (she didn’t, they just weren’t very compatible in the end but he doesn’t realise this yet) so after hearing that she’s going to Harvard Law he decides that this is the perfect way to show everyone that he is smart and hey if it makes Nancy change her mind about dating him then he won’t stop her

In place of the Delta Nu squad the kids Steve babysits come in to help him study, they’re all little geniuses anyway, especially Dustin (who is not his favourite, he doesn’t play favourites), and with their help he passes his LSAT and gets in, his dad who is just happy that his son is finally doing something ‘respectable’ is happy to pay for Steve once he’s in

Steve turns up and it becomes clear to everyone apart from him that he Does Not Fit In but he manages to bump into Nancy (you go into Harvard Law?) and it turns out she’s dating someone else now, her new boyfriend Johnathan is also a student at Harvard

(they’re kinda Warner and Vivian but I don’t want them being mean so they’re just maybe slightly stand offish because this guy that Nancy dated in college is suddenly at Harvard and is that not slightly weird to anyone else? Plus I want Steve and Johnathan being friends by the end cause if they’re not getting it in canon they deserve it here)

Steve’s first class is with Professor Hopper who kicks him out after embarrassing him in front of the rest of the class and some asshole called Jason suggested he be removed and this is where he meets Eddie for the first time, Eddie sees this random guy angrily muttering to himself and he also immediately can tell he doesn’t fit in, just like Eddie doesn’t, so he decides to be nice and offer him so advice, he tells him that Hopper isn’t always like that, gives him tips on how to impress in his class, tells him Professor Byers likes when you speak up and Owens is nice but he spits a little

(Eddie is smart like I just know he is and here he’s driven to study because he wants to work in family law and work with domestic violence/abuse victims because he spent his entire childhood watching his dad being a grade A asshole until he was eventually moved to live with his Uncle who he’s planning on buying a swanky new house when he wins his first big case etc but that doesn’t mean he fits in at Harvard, he got in on his smarts but also a long list of scholarships and his ripped jeans and leather jacket stand out against the designer, muted clothes a majority of the other students wear)

Steve is grateful for the advice from this random but kind (and cute) student but their meeting is cut short when Nancy and Johnathan approach him after class, Steve spirals a little and this is when he finds Robin’s coffee shop (unless you think she’d work at a hair salon or something but I thought coffee worked better for them), they fall into a grand friendship and Steve watches as Robin gazes longingly at the cute UPS girl (Chrissy or Vickie, whichever floats your boat) and *insert boobies conversation here*

With Robin’s encouragement and Eddie’s help Steve actually progresses really well in his classes and even Nancy Wheeler is impressed when he verbal smacks down Jason in *Callahan equivalent*’s class (idk who Callahan would be so take your pick) and Steve, Nancy, Johnathan and Jason (ew) are picked to intern on a big case

Idk who Brooke would be or what the case is but maybe something to do with family law because I feel like that’s the sort of thing Steve would be interested in, he’s dealt with parental neglect his whole life and he watched Max having to go through court proceedings when she was younger etc and he’s seen how passionate Eddie is about it and he’s a little inspired

If you’re following the musical instead of taking Eddie to the mall for a makeover Steve takes him to a hair salon to properly do his hair and it is so, so soft after

idk if here Steve is sexually assaulted by his professor like Elle or if it’s something else, perhaps outed against his will, it kinda depends on the year it’s set in and who Callahan is but something shitty happens to him and he decides to go home ‘because who is he kidding’ but when he goes to say goodbye to Robin she smacks him across the back of the head and is like don’t be a dingus you got this and Hopper, who happens to be getting coffee as well agrees and so Steve charges back to the courtroom

If it is a similar court case to Brooke’s in the film then I lowkey want Billy to be the daughter equivalent because imagine he gets caught because he perms his mullet lmao)

But happy ending, Steve and Eddie are in love, Robin gets her UPS girl, Nancy and Johnathan graduate with Steve and Jason doesn’t, Eddie wins his first big case and buys Wayne that house and the kids road trip to Boston to come annoy Steve

Number of times I had to force my dad to accept the fact that it's no longer the 80s and just because he enjoyed a wrestler's work during his childhood, it doesn't mean they're still the most beloved: 3, and he's still bitter

Beloved By Gender:

Our ratio is keeping pretty steady. There was a change of 2% between rounds 3 and 4 in favor of the female wrestlers.

Voting Trends:

Round 4 had a low vote count day of 534 and the highest count day of 747, making the average 636.9 votes per day (discounting final day), more than extra 80 votes per day beyond Round 3’s average of 550.8

(Keep in mind, number of brackets change on the final day)

Public Opinion:

There's fewer than 20 wrestlers left in this tournament who had successful WWE careers before the 2000s. This tournament would make Cornette's face melt off

The AJ Styles Phenomenon:

I don't know if this is just an incredible coincidence, but for the final 3 rounds, AJ Styles has earned exactly 46 votes. In Round 2, it was 46/50 against Raymond Rougeau. In Round 3, 46/56 against D'Lo Brown. In Round 4, 46/69 against Kane. Based on the data I've seen, he is the only wrestler this has happened to. A few have had the same number of votes twice in a row, but never thrice.

Which begs the question: are there exactly 46 tumblr users who are fans of AJ Styles?

[ravishingpsychomob]

Started to watch Dark Side of the Ring:

Season 1

Episode 1: Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth; The best couple wrestling has ever had. It was nice that after they divorced Savage seemed to look out for her by asking her to come to WCW. Never knew Miss Elizabeth began an affair with Lex Luger whilst he was married. Still think she NEEDS to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Episode 2: Montreal Screwjob; I’m starting to believe it was all one big fat work. Bret could have only been the person to benefit from this and WWF cameras would have cut away from him signing the rival companies initials not focus on them so we could see clear as day.

Episode 3: Bruiser Brody; my favourite so far, I had heard of him but never knew his circumstances, I cried during this episode. I love Tony Atlas now.

Episode 4: Von Erichs; ehh.

Episode 5: Gorgeous Gino; don’t believe it was just an overdose, how on earth does a person manage to get FIVE times the amount of cocaine a human can intake? The amount to take down an elephant? The coroners report said he was overweight, Mexican and uncircumcised all which were incorrect? The family were never allowed to see his body? Doesn’t make sense!

Episode 6: Moolah; she clearly liked the Moolah, as convincing as Princess Victoria sounds “calling her a pimp, you’re calling me a prostitute” I still don’t know if there is no truth in those rumors.

Season 2

Episode 1: Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit, hardest one so far, every time I see the Eddie footage I cry. Definitely feel like Chris should have had some compassionate leave after Eddies death. You don’t have to respect Chris Benoit the Man but you have to respect Chris Benoit the wrestler. WWE needs to lighten up on the ban against him, it was appalling yes but the career that killed him shouldn’t turn its back on him.

Random Eddie Munson HCs

Hey! Haven’t written anything is such a long time and honestly really miss it! It makes me feel better and helps with the maladaptive daydreaming.

So have fun looking into my brain of how I see eddie - he’s a menace 100% (spoiler free :) ) 18+ only!

calls his SO so many different pet names

some are super cute and heart melty

and some are like 👀 ’wait what did you just call me’?

when others call him “freak” and other shit you get so fired up

he tries to calm you down

“it’s okay bruiser let’s go home”

“come on, no bloodshed today slugger”

definitely likes to lightly bite and lick his SO

that can be their fingers, nose, chin, cheek, ankle - literally any body part

he likes your little giggles when he does it

or when you look at him like ‘really munson?’

asking to bite his dimples in return

really wanting to lick/kiss his eyes but can’t

he makes cannibal jokes after

nibbles a little bit on his hair when it’s wet

hair beard!

if you are confused he likes to grab his hair and pull over his chin like a beard

even does some voices

sometimes he’ll hold his hand (or some other tool like a spatula, hairbrush, etc) like its a microphone while he is singing a song.

then he’ll move his hand so it’s in front of your mouth silently telling you it’s your turn

sometimes you know the words and sometimes not, either way he’s giving you that bright smile and bopping his head like you are giving the performance of a lifetime.

“yeah go baby go!” as you go monotone, repeating the lyrics back to him.

gets the zoomies like a doggo

will jump off his seat like a rocket when he’s happy or excited

sometimes needs to do a little lap and then will come sit back down

okay 18+

but he definitely likes to sniff your panties

OKAY yeah I know don’t @ me!

but he does okay! take it up with eddie!

he likes when you laugh or shout at him to stop or when you even get a little bit more turned on bc of it

you can’t really blame him when you are giving him all that positive reinforcement!

you guys will watch saturday morning cartoons together

sitting cross-legged with cereal in your laps

sometimes wayne would have just came back from a shift and sleeping so you guys know to keep it down

i’ve seen other people talk about how he doesn’t eat a lot of fruit/veggies

and I totally agree

the little shit will mispronounce words on purpose

sometimes his poker face is so good you can’t tell if he’s joking or not

“what is a man-go?”

loves messing with you

one year he licked a banana slug and his whole mouth and tongue went numb for like an hour.

he was ‘oh shit i’m gonna be numb forever!’

trying to decide how long he should wait it out until getting help/telling someone

it went away so all was good

okay i’m projecting that one happened to me at camp one year

i don’t remember how old i was - maybe middle school age - I got dared okay!

speaking of eddie & dares

at the beginning of the relationship you felt like you had to be the sane one and tell him not to do shit

“no eddie don’t let your buddy tase you!”

“get off the ground you are not licking that!”

didn’t take long to learn that he is just fucking with you - he likes you telling him no

he finds it funny and it makes him feel like you care

so it turns from “don’t eddie or I swear to god” into “yeah babe do it”

and he just looks at you, eyes widening telling you he’s gonna

and you just stare back like ‘do it - i wanna see’

just staring each other down

turns into a game of chicken

he usually backs down

but honestly depending on the audience

you are a polaroid couple 100%

he has a sweet little picture of you in his wallet 🥺

and one of you looking like an absolute demon

it’s all about balance you see

Random Eddie Munson Headcanons I Have

-His family moved to Hawkins when he was a kid, but he's originally from the south. (I'm basing this on the fact that Wayne has a strong southern accent. Plus, Indiana is geographically pretty close to the south. There's always been a shit ton of people from Indiana who moved down here, so I guess it works the other way around, too).

-You may not be able to tell by looking, but he has a soft spot for old country music because Wayne has always played it, so he associates it with the rare happy moments of his upbringing. His grandparents always played it too. They're dead now, but he had a good relationship with them when they were alive.

-He drinks black coffee. He never puts anything in it. Is definitely the type to make those "black like my soul" jokes that some black coffee enthusiasts do. He will sit on the porch and drink hot black coffee even on the hottest day of the year ("Because it's metal"). He is definitely the type who considers iced coffee an abomination.

-He feeds stray cats and unofficially adopts them. He gives them really tough sounding names (Crusher, Killer, Bruiser, etc.), but he is a total softie with them. (Cat dad Eddie Munson is real, he is valid, and you will pry this headcanon from my cold, dead hands because it is the gospel truth, so deal with it.)

-He gives me the strongest Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp vibes, so that would make him a November baby.

-Although they were in totally different social circles, one time he saw Barb with one of the Lord of the Rings Books and struck up a conversation with her because of it. He was impressed by the fact that she was the only one who could keep up with him on the topic. He respected the hell out of her because of it and was bummed when she died. (I could go on with the Eddie/Barb unlikely friendship headcanons, but that's not the point of this post. Maybe in a separate post.)

-Secretly craves affection way more than his tough exterior suggests. He is definitely the type to just spontaneously lay on his partner at the most random moments. You could be sitting on the couch reading or watching something and all of a sudden this lanky six foot tall puppy dog of a man just sprawls out all over you. He does this regardless of his partner's size, which makes for a pretty amusing visual if he's with someone who is much shorter than him.
