“Hold the elevator!”
The elevator doors are mere inches from closing, but Steve dutifully shoots a hand out to stop them. They slide back open, revealing a flustered-looking man about Steve’s age on the other side.
He’s dressed head to toe in black, decked out in a simple black pullover with a modest V-neck, snug black jeans, and all-black leather Chucks with a messenger bag slung across his chest. The messenger bag is, unsurprisingly, also black, but covered in a collection of tough-looking patches and pins in varying shades of—well, it’s mostly red, dark red, white, and some yellows, but the pops of color still stand out against his otherwise monochrome ensemble.
His dark, curly hair reaches a little past his shoulders and he’s got this frankly outdated fringe that, despite its very 80’s vibe, frames his face perfectly. His eyes are large and expressive, and he’s got this frantic energy about him that reminds Steve of a live wire. He’s nothing like the buttoned-up suits Steve usually shares his elevator rides with each morning, and it’s a refreshing change of pace.
The man gives Steve a thankful look before stepping into the elevator and leaning against the side wall. “Thanks,” he says, a little distractedly. He’s got a pair big of headphones on and Steve realizes he’s in the middle of a phone call when he adds, “No, not you, Gare, I was thanking the guy who held the elevator for me. Yeah, this building’s crazy. There’s a whole-ass sixtieth floor—guess I’m kind of a big deal now.” He lets out a small, self-deprecating chuckle, reaching for the panel beside him.
As the doors close and the elevator starts to slowly ascend, Steve notices the man pressed the button for the floor above his. Both the fifty-second and fifty-third floor buttons are lit in a halo of green.
“You know I didn’t want to leave you guys,” the man continues, a bit more quietly now that he and Steve are sharing the same small space, “but shit, I couldn’t turn down the pay.” He scoffs. “Ugh, listen to me, just another cog in the capitalist machine. Man, if high school me could see me now. High school Eddie used to talk big about forced conformity and rising up against the man, and now here I am—”
Steve tries not to listen to the one-sided conversation going on beside him, but it’s difficult when a moment later, he hears his own name.
“—clocking in for my first day at fuckin’ Harrington Hargrove Hagan. The pretentious bastards can’t even shorten it to an acronym or something. God forbid they have to miss out on the sound of their own names.”
Steve manages to hold in the obnoxious snort that threatens to escape him. He’s starting to think he might like this guy—Eddie, his mind supplies helpfully—but Eddie’s next words have him freezing in place.
“And it’s nepo baby central. Yeah, pretty sure all the H kiddies are hotshot brokers with the company. All the biggest accounts—gee, I wonder why.”
Steve can feel the back of his neck burning hot with a mixture of annoyance and shame as Eddie cracks a caustic joke about silver spoons and trust funds.
“You’re kidding, one of them works at this branch? Damn, I guess I’ll just keep an eye out for the guy who most looks like he’s got a giant stick up his ass.”
This is quickly becoming the longest elevator ride of Steve’s life. He grits his teeth and stares fixedly at the floor display panel above the elevator doors, watching the numbers climb higher and higher. Thirty-seven. Thirty-eight.
“Listen, I should go, but let’s grab a drink at the Hideout later. Cool, see you then. Bye.”
Forty-one. Forty-two.
Eddie removes his headphones and shoves them into his bag, angling slightly toward Steve. “Sorry about that, man.”
“You’re good,” Steve says shortly, not looking away from the changing numbers. They reach the forty-seventh floor, and all the while, he feels Eddie’s gaze on him.
It’s not like he’s openly staring, but there’s a certain weight to his furtive glances that completely counteracts his attempts at subtlety. It’s the type of gaze Steve’s familiar with, one that he’s been on the receiving end of since his sophomore year of high school when he hit a growth spurt and actually learned how to style his hair. Assessing. Appreciative. Interested.
And in any other situation, Steve would gladly engage. He’d turn on the charm, quirk the corner of his lip up in that way Robin always rolls her eyes at but reluctantly acknowledges as ‘passably effective’, and maybe even make up an excuse to sidle a bit closer.
But he’s not giving this guy his A-game.
Instead, Steve waits in stifling silence until the fifty-second floor is announced and the doors slide open. He steps forward to exit, but at the very last moment stops in the doorway.
He initially wasn’t going to say anything—though, a past version of himself would have definitely spat something biting and bitchy to Eddie about his snark, would have snootily told him to take his little assumptions and shove them where the sun don’t shine—but sooner or later Eddie’s going to realize he and Steve are colleagues, and he’s going to remember shit-talking him in an elevator on his first day of work, and it’s going to be awkward and uncomfortable.
Steve’s just speeding up the timeline, pushing for the sooner rather than the later, when he decides to spin around and fully face Eddie.
“I think you pressed the wrong button,” he says, all sweet and helpful like he’s talking to Dustin’s mom over a sink full of soapy dishes. “Couldn’t help but overhear that you work at Harrington Hargrove Hagan. It’s on the fifty-second floor, not the fifty-third.” Then he takes a small step backward, moving out into the carpeted hallway.
“Oh.” Eddie scrambles for his phone, unlocking it and scrolling quickly until he finds something that has him straightening up and smiling gratefully at Steve. “I guess I remembered it wrong. Thank you.” He pushes away from the wall, takes a step forward to follow Steve out, but then stops dead in his tracks.
Steve gleefully notes the line of Eddie’s gaze, how it lingers at the breast pocket of his shirt, where, clipped to a retractable badge reel, his building keycard hangs. Eddie evidently hadn’t noticed it during the elevator ride up, but he’s certainly fixated on it now.
Perhaps on the abstract yet easily recognizable Harrington Hargrove Hagan logo in the top right corner.
But more likely, based on the positively mortified look growing on Eddie’s face, on the name clearly printed underneath Steve’s photo in bold, black lettering: STEVE HARRINGTON.
Slowly, Eddie drags his eyes back up to Steve’s face. He stares in silence, eyes bugging nearly out of his head, face turning a concerning shade of pink, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water, and his reaction is extreme enough that a small part of Steve is almost inclined to take pity on the guy and laugh it all off.
Unfortunately for Eddie, a bigger part of Steve thinks Eddie looks kind of cute all red-faced and embarrassed like this. So he glances down at himself thoughtfully before turning his attention back on Eddie. “Wow,” he says with exaggerated astonishment, “now that you mention it, I guess I do look like I’ve got a giant stick up my ass.”
As if on cue, the elevator chimes in warning. The doors begin to close, but Eddie just remains rooted in place with that same wide-eyed, horrified expression.
When it becomes clear he has no intentions of actually exiting the elevator, Steve chuckles and wiggles his fingers in a cheeky little wave. “Welcome to the team,” he says airily, before Eddie’s still-blushing face disappears behind the elevator doors.
/ Now with a Part 2!

suguru is the ceo of holding onto the train handle so you can hold his bicep instead btw
#he’s the best person to bring with you on a crowded train#he just has such a firm grip on the handle and stays so still and calm even if it’s a little cramped or if the train is shaky#and he makes sure to keep extra rigid so you can loop your arm around his :3 he’s your own personal handle.#why should you have to reach for anything when you have him to keep you steady?#<- his line of thinking#nothing but princess treatment for u i fear#ari noises ✩

i can't stop thinking about the ratdivorce scene. even for a small space, even for a hushed conversation, it's incredibly intimate. they're breathing the same air, hickey pushing and crowding as gibson looms awkwardly over him, switching between staring at each other's eyes and lips and looking away, calling each other by their first names, give and take, tit for tat, scoffing and glaring and smirking as they rip each other to shreds.
not once do they lie to each other; they stand there together and lay bare their different naked truths until it's finished, and then they pull apart silently to go lick their own wounds in peace. "there's no on-screen sex in the terror" girl that was a psychic hatefucking
#len's terrorblogging#len speaks#amc the terror#the terror#william gibson#billy gibson#cornelius hickey#hickeygibson#i realized it was intimate and personal on the 1st viewing but adam nagaitis looks like he wants to jump edward ashley's bones right there#this has GOT to be one of my fave scenes especially bc billy is very firm and motivated and hickey is clearly flustered and desperate#i feel like it was insightful for not only their dynamic but their personal character motivations as a whole#i've rewound this scene like 5+ times on this rewatch while writing this i'm not even kidding

Are trans women real women?
As opposed to what. Fictional? A mannequin? Unreal in the sense that it's unreal how bomb she is?
(tags V relevant)
#Inventing boxes around people never works. There's no parameter for real or not real that doesn't allow for discrimination#If a woman says she is a woman then she is a woman. It is not my business to comment on how ''''real'''' it is#Based on what?? The hell kind of authority am I??? I'm some fuckin dude.#It does not matter to me what pronouns or what chromosomes or what presentation someone has#If you tell me you're a woman okay you're a woman. You know better than me. What kind of douchebag would I be to contest that#Short answer: trans women are as real women as any women. It doesn't change anything.#Are he/him women women? Are drag queens women? Are femboys women? I don't speak for them why don't you ask them to their face#By which I mean get a scope on their experience and opinion. And don't ask the person who LOUDLY DOESN'T LIKE FIRM LABELS.#Not an art

Thinking about Charles Xavier, who is simultaneously aware of everyone but at the same time not because if he was himself to the fullest people find him upsetting and rude and nosy
Thinking about his unshakable sense of morality, right and wrong and justice that he formed at the age of 9 and has kept ever since, with modifications along the years but those core values remain
Thinking about how the overstimulation of a thousand voices in his head drove him to self medicate to the point of nearly addiction
Thinking about how he has difficulty reading people when his power is not in use, ending up saying the worst things without meaning to upset no one
Thinking about how everyone should be “mutant and proud” except Charles over there that is too passing to be a mutant but too weird to be a human and simultaneously his mutation, the way his brain is fucking wired, is too inconvenient for everyone around him mutant and human alike to accept
Charles Xavier they would never make me hate you. You and your autism telepathy
#x men#charles xavier#I’m firm in this belief#Charles is the poster boy of invisible disability in first class and I mean it#no one lets him stretch his mutantion than they have the audacity to be mad that he didn’t understand their weird subtext#Raven I’m looking directly at you#if you want to be clear about your feelings with your brother but doesn’t want him in your head FUCKING TALK TO HIM#he is a mind reader that won’t read your mind!!! he has no way of knowing shit#because as the movie showed us#Charles and social cues have never been in a room together ever#Erik put one singular helmet and Charles was absolutely fumbling that social interaction#sure it was part stress of the situation but everyone agrees that telling the holocaust survivor#“they are only following orders” was the greatest misreadings of a situation ever#Charles also has a emphaty problem born also from his mutation#he has a lot of it#many time to his own detriment#because he has seen and experienced everyones shoes#he has walked them all#so he can’t separate the idea that someone so rich as another person deserving of extre punishment#even when that is the only option available#do you think his telephaty gave him identity issues?#what do you think is Charles Xavier perception of self?

after buffy season 3, contrary to popular belief, angel becomes more morally grey and fucked up. he crawls around in the mud and seethes and maybe kills a couple of guys. he certainly does not start a detective troupe or become an awkward dad figure where the hell did that come from
#for real tho - you can't take a character who's essentially a sexy narrative device and make him main character material#at least without departing from his original personality to such an extreme that he's unrecognizable two seasons in#like wtf do you mean he has a shithead son and the son FUCKS CORDY???#they seriously were grasping at straws like ooh this has to be dark and adult themed now. evil law firm#it's like all of the camp from buffy without any of the charm#also fuck what joss did to cordy#angel the series#sorry yall!#respect to those who get something from ats but I tried and I cant#buffyverse

hot take but
it is amazing to me that people will take sides in the diluc vs kaeya debate because it's such a fucking nuanced situation that we don't have all of the information about??? genshin is either saving that nuclear fallout for later or intends to do NOTHING with it and leave it to the imagination
i am a public defender of neither of these men, all we know is that grief destroyed them then destroyed their relationship with each other
#do u think i ship zhli with dluc because i think dluc is a good person??????????? no!!!!! he's flawed baby#i ship them because zhli would take one look at dluc's history and go oh. been there done that. maybe i can help.#i am a firm believer that all four of my men are capable of terrible things#but they've also got good sides too you know???#maybe the reason fandom has held onto those four for so long is because they're all complex characters that we keep getting lore for.

Angsty set of Morgana-opinion Headcanons for the GaGene family bc yk what they need a bad day. just a bit of a bad day.
• Conrad is an easy subject. Morgana is… a much more complicated topic of discussion for the family. She’s influenced a large part of Gavus’s life, and raised Liberta, and they both have varying opinions on her.
• Gavus is a lot more solid in his feelings, they’re complicated, yes, but he’s solid in that his disapproves of her actions. He’s had time to come to terms that what she is doing is not okay and that he cannot support her any longer. Gavus knows that Morgana is not as good a person he thought she was, but even then. He cannot truly bring himself to hate her. She hurt him, his kids, his husband, and yet he cannot find it in him to hate her. He still wants to plead with her and make her see reason, even after knowing she won’t listen. He does find it painful, even now, to think about the good times with her. It’s jolting to know someone you loved and respected turned out to be so horrible, and it taints everything, Morgana is no exception.
• On Liberta’s side, it’s quite a bit more complicated. Liberta doesn’t know how to respond to Morgana’s actions and horribleness. He doesn’t want to believe it at all actually. He finds himself, often, unable to process what he had actually went through and what is good and bad in his childhood with Morgana because he genuinely cannot tell. Not to mention she treated him nicely, like a son! She can’t be all that bad then, right? She’s still a good person deep down, because she has to be.
• He’s got a good ol’ case of Mafuyu Asahina basically
• Eugene, on his own opinions, hates Morgana. He despises her, and every single fake ass person on the Celestial’s faction. He hates that she messed up badly, that she betrayed Gavus and raised Liberta to believe that his feelings don’t matter. He hates that she did that to his family, and he hates how the situation is complicated. It’s not like everyone can agree she sucks as easily as they do with Conrad. Hell, it hurts him that Liberta even saw her as a parental figure at all! That fucking sucks, and he can’t do anything about it because she DID raise his kid, like it or not. He’s mindful about what he says about her around the kids, but next to Gavus he’s mouthing her off left and right as many chances as he can get whenever she comes up in conversation.
• This both amuses and irritates Gavus. It’s essentially like, “Raven, I know you hate Morgana but can we focus for a second??”. The amusement moreso comes from the fact at least one of them holds enough hatred in their heart for both of them for that woman, thank you Eugene.
• Lastly, Lucilla. Lucilla’s feelings are extremely simplified: Morgana = Conrad. Conrad = Bad, Hate that guy. Morgana = Bad, Hate that girl. She understands there’s more nuance to it for Liberta and Gavus, she’s not dumb, and she can, to an extent, recognize where Liberta is coming from. However, it frustrates her a lot whenever she hears words in Morgana’s defense, from Celestials or otherwise. It’s awful, terrible. Just what about Morgana needs defending? What could possibly be so good about her? She doesn’t get it. She doesn’t get any of it.
• Pretty much, the overall opinion as a family is, well, it’s complicated. Her actions run a bit deeper because of her emotional hold on two of their family members, and Conrad at least made it easy by acting like he doesn’t care (because, well, he doesn’t! Mans is as straight forward as he sounds: he just wanted power and destruction.), but Morgana? Morgana acted like she cared, and maybe she did at one point. For Gavus. Maybe she cared a lot about Gavus, and maybe she got attached to Liberta as well. But it doesn’t erase what she did, just simply complicates it further for the ones she hurt, because they loved her.
#afk arena#afk gavus#afk eugene#afk liberta#afk lucilla#morgana too#i have a LOT of feelings with morgana and a lot of it is like a#its a whole analysis kind of thing ???#i dont feel shes as cut and dry as conrad is with this family#i think shes a much more complicated subject bc like#plain as day shes lied to and betrayed gavus and manipulated him#she emotionally abused liberta#and yet she also goes personally out of her way to try and get gavus redeemed for celestials and herself#when he stands firm to his grounds she doesnt kill him she simply leaves him in a prison#so like#she does care a tiny bit about them#her evilness however overshadows her care bc shes not willing to change her ways at all even when its hurting the people she claims to care#about#DO YOU SEE WHY THIS WOULD BE A COMPLICATED SUBJECT#THERES SO MUCH THAT HAS TO GO INTO THIS GOR LIBERTA AND GAVUS ESP BRO#anyways i hope she dies#make it uncomplicated and just die evil wench#bah

Hello! Thank you for the tags on my post on religion headcanons!
I'm was leaning myself towards Cath -> Church of Scotland, in my case because it would really suit his family and the entire theme of my organized crime story (that his grandfather or someone even further down the family tree would have converted to the Church of Scotland for career opportunities.) It would tie in also with how the Scottish Elite partook hugely in the British Empire, how it's not this binary "Everyone else vs England" issue. Your mention of how he (in the canon hetaverse) was on the catholic side of many political issues regardless also reminded me how sad I was that one of my AUs takes place in the 1790s to 1820s, bc that meant in that AU Scot's father was born too late to be an avowed jacobite for nothing other than that he's a petty, grudge holding bitch XD Like Father Like Son.
I honestly love that because it’s so in line with his character. I think he adapted to the Kirk in nationverse because (aside from personal beliefs) it presented him with more opportunity for advancement and independence, even if it was independence within the UK. The Kirk is really interesting because while it does fall in Protestant line with England, it’s still distinct and Presbyterian rather than Episcopal like the CoE is. Like you’re saying, rather than being a binary with or against England, it’s working within the parameters set by England for gain while still being notably Scottish.
Also RIP to his dad being born too late to die for the Bonnie Prince, you would have loved the Skye Boat Song king
#ask#hetalia#hws scotland#scotland is pragmatic and this is an oft overlooked aspect of him#like yes he can make emotive decisions because he is firm in his identity and personality#but he is a pragmatist deep down. this man is the land of engineering and economics he has to be
