BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER

Pairings: Eddie munson x fem! Summary: your best friend's little brother has a crush on you, which you use to your advantage. Warnings: a kiss

──── ୨୧ ────

you entered the Munson Trailer with a bag full of movies you rented from Family video.

it was friday night, which meant you watch shitty movies and get fat with your best friend.

you were immediately greeted with a bunch of muffled screaming from the room down the hall, Eddie's room, your best friend's little brother

although, he wasn't really little anymore, and he was only 2 years younger than you. so was he ever really little?

you frowned and looked over at your friend, Beth, wondering what was going on

"oh, yeah, Eddie invited his band over. I told them to be quiet" she sighed with a smile as you took off your jacket

"i don't think they listened" you laughed

she shook her head "no, they definitely didn't"

you got settled on the couch beside her after digging in the fridge for a drink.

"oh, yeah. i ordered Pizza but they were like, super early, the boys took it from me as soon as they smelt it. good luck if they even give you a peice, if there's any left" she snorted

she usually didn't give a fuck about her brother, unless he really pissed off or tried to get your attention during your hangouts

which raises the idea in your mind.

from the very start of your friendship, you noticed Eddie and his attempts to drag you away from Beth.

and it wasn't until you were 16 and him 14 when Beth told you he had a major crush on you

she told you the whole story of going in his room to find a drawing of you in his sketchbook while he was out.

her telling you made it so awkward when you's came over, you noticed every shy smile and glance he'd give you when he thought you weren't looking.

you'd notice when he'd go out of his way to do things for you.

when you'd come over, he would rush out of his room at the sound of your voice and offer you a drink

"Can I get you anything? we have pretzels, and coke" he'd ask

you declined every time, feeling a small pang in your chest, watching the smile of his face falter as he backed up into his room

"okay... just call out to me if you need anything!" he'd say before shutting his door

in highschool, he would go out of his way to say hi to you, but frown everytime you'd brush him off, looking at him like everyone did, like he was a freak.

Eddie gave up on liking you for a while at that point, the poor 16-year old's heart was broken, but it's not like he ever thought you'd like him back.

you were just so pretty.

he was so heartbroken he had put everything he made for you away in a box and put it under his bed, long forgotten by now.

every lyric sheet of a song he made for you, every trinket that made him think of you, everything you'd leave at the trailer that he was able to swipe before anyone noticed.

it wasn't until you graduated that you began to be nice to him again. now, 4 years later, his crush on you was known by everyone, and he knew that you knew about it.

at 20 years old he had finally grown a little more confident when around you, sending you little comments of flirtation or winking at you. though, he'd miss the way you'd blush as you rolled your eyes.

he wants you to know. he's definitely not shy about letting you know.

which is why you stand up and smile

"I have a feeling they'll let me have some" you speak confidently

you walk up to his room down the hall and knock

"first one to get me a slice of pizza gets a kiss!"

you giggle and look back at Beth when you hear screaming and rustling on the other side of the door

"BACK OFF! MOVE! GIVE ME THE PIZZA, GIVE IT!" you hear Eddie scream at the others.

it's silent after a few seconds before the door slowly opens.

Eddie's head pops out from his room and gives you a smile

he opens the door wider and bows down in front of you, presenting a paper plate with a slice of pizza on it

"One slice of pepperpni pizza for the fair lady" he smiles cheekily

you smile and take the plate

"thank you, kind sir" you curtsey and take the plate. you turn around and go to walk back to the livingroom when he clears his throat

you looked back as see him still standing there, his eyes wondering around the room, his hands behind his back as he rolls on the heels of his feet.

you blush when he puckers his his lips like a child ready to have his first kiss with his girl crush.

you roll your eyes "oh how could I forget, I apologise" you speak in the same way he did a few seconds ago

you walk back over to him and lean up on your tippy toes. he looked at you happily when he leans in.

you swerve his lips and connect you mouth with his cheek, right on his dimple, wiping your thumb over the lipstick mark as you pull away

he looks at you lazily as you back away, a dumb smile on his face as he backs up into his room

"pleasure doing business with you" he says before shutting the door.

you walked back to the livingroom, taking the pizza into your mouth, taking a bite when you see Beth roll her eyes.

as you sat down next to your best friend, you could more screaming and cheering

"he's such a dork" Beth mumbled

you look down the hall, where his bedroom door was shut and shrugged

"he's cute"

Beth's head snapped to the side to where you sat "what!?"

your eyes went wide when you realise what you said "what?"

Having an Aries rising and stellium, Mars atmakaraka and Sun amatyakaraka as a girl is not easy, because...I'll do things that guys do on a daily basis but then I become the bad guy??? like, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. Today I was arguing with this man......so listen, my friend wanted this medicine and that idiot at the pharmacy won't give it to her, like he kept on teasing and flirting with her, so she called me and then I talked politely but then he started getting aggressive so I did the same, and then his father came outside, gave us the medicine, looked at me and said "you are 70% guy and 30% girl....hehehe" like...what the fuck but then he could see that the statement pissed me off and started saying sorry but like.....or even when I get into a fight with a guy and then he loses, everyone is like "how could you hit him, he wasn't even being that aggressive", like, If i say no to something for the first time and the person keeps on doing it again and again, then I WILL defend myself. it feels even worse when it comes from girls. WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO WRONG?? Or even in debates, when a guy is loud, it's cool, when I'm loud, it's like "oh my god, calm down, it's not that deep" LIKE?????????

I'm so done with this society, I want a cottage in the middle of the jungle and live there with animals, because humans are so shitty, I hope this world gets destroyed or some shit, I mean, the climate change issue has already become serious enough, so I guess our time is coming to an end anyways, which imo, is GREAAATT

Helluva Boss Is Teaching The Opposite Lesson Of Bojack About How Toxic Being Hoisted Into The Emotional Support Is

In Bojack, the biggest thing that eventually breaks Bojack and Diane's relationship is his dependency on her and his need to seek her for emotional support. This culminates when he does a suicide attempt and while leaving her a message saying if he should go through with it. As a result, when they meet again this is the straw that breaks the camel back and she finally cuts ties with Bojack because as the line said she gotten tired of carrying his baggage and the narrative doesn't' shame her for it. She needed to move on to better things and focus on bettering herself as a person rather than being stuck in a toxic friendship. Even if it did hurt Bojack to lose a good friend, she still was right to finally put her foot down and say enough was enough.

However, in Helluva Boss the message seems to be the opposite at least when it comes to Stolas where everyone has to accommodate him both emotionally and mentally because he's the creator's pet. Despite the shit he puts people through, anyone who dares calls him out is vilified like Blitzo and he has to apologize for not being his knight in shining armor. Unlike Bojack, he's shielded from his criticism by making his opposition look worse or deflect by pulling the crybaby routine.

And sadly enough, the series eventually makes Blitzo break into the role he dread being which is basically a willing butler for Stolas. He's basically the fate that would scare Diane which is basically being a mindless cheerleader for someone who proves to be more and more toxic. Given that even though they are now canon, Vivziepop has stated she still is going to put them through the wringer in season 3 and I don't have a good feeling about it. I know Stolas is going to pull more shitty stuff on Blitzo and then act like the victim, while Blitzo will be vilified for it for not being supportive enough. In my opinion, the worst thing about this ship is how it feels all take and no give. Blitzo gives out everything for Stolas yet all he does is take and doesn't really give back anything. And in my opinion, grand gestures like the sacrifice doesn't really make up for lacking the little things. Also cutsey moments like the dance doesn't absolve the issues this toxic ship has. All around it's the fact that Blitzo like Diane has to do the heavy lifting for a toxic person and is going to get burned for it, but unlike her the narrative will refuse to let him escape it.

[doodler16]

Sorry if this post feels a bit conjoined but it's a thought that's been on my mind for a minute.

Cw for abuse discussion.

Vivziepop has said before (not sure where specifically) that she's not afraid to kill off characters but what are those characters in question?

The only major character deaths in the hell verse I can think of is both Pen and adam. However the former gets reincarnated back to heaven and a ladder just dies despite being a human. It makes me wonder she says that because most of the characters are already dead in a sentence this is a story about the afterlife.

Then on the other side of the spectrum you get characters like stella, crimson, and valentino. A trio of characters who's entire character trait is to basically just be around to abuse their specific victims. This is despite the fact that many of the victimized characters have means to fight back or just straight up end their abusers life.

(more specifically stolas and the imps. I know Angel's under contract But if plot armor wasn't a factor I'd feel like he'd get Charlie's help.)

Honestly it makes me think back to the dire gentleman's video I watched again recently and it made me think

"why can't they simply take out their abusers, it's hell."

Tldr: where is the so-called fearlessness to kill characters and why isn't it done on the shitty abuser villains. You ain't Araki VP.

That’s the funny part. In Hazbin Hotel, Vivziepop has “killed” off Sir Pentious and Adam. In Helluva Boss, the writer Adam killed off Chaz. That’s literally it so far. I believe what Vivziepop means is she is not afraid to permanently kill off a character (I will see it when I believe it, at best a character gets mildly injured and that’s it).

My personal theory of why she hasn’t killed off the abusers because their “arcs” aren’t done and would be too easy. You mentioned Valentino, Stella, and Crimson. For example, Valentino there are still things we don’t know about (besides him being an artist and rapist), like his connection with Angel Dust, how they met, how did he meet Velvette and Vox, how did Valentino die as a human, etc.

For Crimson, I would live if Millie killed him off and he was a one off character. He is so forgettable, but I’m sure Vivziepop has plans for him. I’ve been seeing theories that he’s going to do something to Moxxie and Millie’s future/potential kid. This could lead to actual face off between Moxxie/Millie and Crimson. Getting closure, etc. Ozzie could get revenge on Crimson for kidnapping Fizzarolli.

And Stella! I don’t know what the future will look for her and it’s hard to tell what Vivziepop will do with her. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stella ended up homeless and kicked out of her mansion by Octavia or Stella somehow gets a restraining order from Stolas. Vivziepop mentioned in an interview that Stella has a Beatrice backstory for season 3.

[alittledizzy]

I’m going to kill him and then myself I can’t lose you to snf too 😭

You’re not losing me to anything anon, I’m not the type of person who’s going to stop being a fan because a content creator did something I didn’t like once. I’m just not into false positivity or pretending that I do like something when I don’t.

Honestly, at this point, I’m more dismayed to see how many people think it’s genuinely something you can “reclaim” just because you’re neurodivergent. that’s like saying your parent abused to you so you get to abuse your kid – calling someone else a slur isn’t reclaiming anything it’s just passing trauma on to someone else that was inflicted on you.

And let’s be real, dream was not trying to make a point on reclaiming slurs. He was mad and he wanted to post to gotcha on Tommy. I’m sure he did know it would make people mad, but he did it because /he/ was mad. It’s shitty rage bait if it upsets your actual fans as well as your haters. It’s shitty rage bait if your fans end up in the line of fire, just as much as you. It’s also shitty rage bait if it puts you on or below the level of the person you’re trying to make mad. Tommy gets to take the high road now and do you know how infuriating that is? dream can say he did this for rage bait all he wants but he did Tommy a massive favor. No one but dream looks stupid in the situation. he used a slur and then deleted it.

Anyway I’m not gonna lose sleep over it but it does make me a little sadder about the world in general. Feels yucky to be in a fandom where people are so happy about something like that.

But Dan and Phil (and huge parts of their fandom) have done plenty of things in the past that I felt yucky about and I’m still in that fandom. So again, don’t take that to mean I’m going anywhere. I’m just not that type of reactionary person who is going to impulsively leave any situation over something like this.

[yuridovewing]

TBH the Fernsong discussion just reminds me that the fandom isn't ready (and probably never will be) for the discussion that Shellheart is just as bad as Rainflower. 'But he divorced her!' Yeah, and that's the bare minimum when your spouse becomes an abusive parent. It's also the extent of what he does beyond occassionally calling her out for her cruelty. He does not at any point: - Meaningfully use his status as deputy to attempt to circumvent Rainflower's desire to rename Stormkit Crookedkit - Refuse to use the ableist name his (ex)wife gave their son despite being against it - Offer to suggest to Hailstar or even demand him to revert his prefix back to Storm- at any point, despite disagreeing with the name change - Didn't take remotely any issue with Hailstar compounding the already ableist name forced upon him by giving him the suffix -jaw Like IDK, its been odd to me for a while that he's praised. He didn't protect his son from abuse at all. And he could've at least tried, especially as deputy. Prefacing this with the fact that I have experienced ableist abuse and parental neglect in the hopes that it keeps people from getting weird about this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the fandom cant even handle crowfeather being called abusive half the time, or appledusk being called a shitty boyfriend. they are ABSOLUTELY not ready for the shellheart conversation, especially since he actually did follow through on doing one (1) single good thing for his kid. as minimal as it was.

i don’t think im as hard on shellheart as his detractors, i feel like crookedkits renaming is very sloppily written in general, but yeah. i get the hate. its exhausting to hear heaps of praise get tossed onto a guy who did less than the bare minimum (especially since, knowing this fandom, hed probably still get praised if he did stay with her and just said “hey babe, thats kinda shitty…. idk….”)

parents who dont do anything to stop their kid from being abused, but say out loud that they totallyyyy support their kid are still incredibly shitty.

[jinkieswouldyoulookatthis]

Okay, this, as always, a lot, so I'm going to try my best to reply to the core conversation because if I try to reply to all of this my ADHD is gonna tie me up in knots. I'm also putting this under a cut to help with the overall post length.

If you think that Dean's terrible decision to wipe Lisa and Ben's memories of him, was misogynistic then we are coming at this from really different definitions. Because Dean has a habit of making sweeping, life-altering decisions for other people without taking them or their wishes into account, he overrides or just doesn't consider them <- and this notably includes his brother. This is not based on Lisa being female, Dean just prioritizes his own emotions over other people's everything. If I read this correctly, you said that you were sympathetic to Dean's decision to force Sam to let Gadreel possess him, even though you knew it wasn't going to work out well. But Dean removing himself entirely from Lisa and Ben's lives, wiping all of their memories of him, something that he, right or wrong, felt was the only way to save them from himself and the epic levels of disaster that follow him, was a bridge too far and, somehow, misogynistic? However you're making this distinction does not make sense to me.

Misogyny literally means hatred of women, from the Greek root words misein “to hate” and gyne “woman”. And yeah, I know that root words don't entirely determine current definitions or common usage, but, there is that particular layer to the definition of misogyny that sets it apart from the definition of sexism.

Yes, we are all swimming in an ocean of patriarchy and it really isn't a matter of "all men" for anything, because humans are nuanced and complicated. We also learn and grow, but also, too often, get damaged and hurt along the way. Or decide to "play along" rather than stand up against the shitty things other people say, for a whole host of possible reasons. Anyone is capable of doing something, or thinking something, or saying something that is misogynistic. Just occasionally falling into that doesn't equal "being a misogynist" either. For that label to stick, one would have to have a persistent track record of saying and doing (and thus thinking) misogynistic things, proving that they actually do harbor a hatred or negative view of women in general. There are different levels to all of this nuance that are easier to discuss and to avoid miscommunication, to discuss more effectively, when we utilize words with nuanced differences to their meanings.

Some of what you talked about would definitely fall into the misogyny bucket, yes. But some of it wouldn't, some of it is better defined as sexism, while some of it I'm not even sure has anything to do with gender really at all.

I feel like I need to convey my sympathy for the personal experiences that you shared, I don't want to gloss over or ignore it. While I have never been in exactly that sort of situation, I have had friends say some out of fucking line shit to me. Sometimes we were in a situation where I was able to call them out on it, and so I did. Other times, I let stuff slide because I did not feel safe standing up for myself, or standing up against something awful being lobbed at me. So I do get that. It sucks. What your partner said was, truly, horrifying, at least from where I'm standing, and I can only imagine the effect that would have had and likely still has, to some degree, on you.

I am not saying that all the things that happened in the show and on the set for the show were never inappropriate or never wrong/bad, because people are complex and there are a lot of layers to most everything. And, as I mentioned in my original post, sexism was definitely at play. I still think that the majority of what people call misogyny is actually better defined by the word sexism, and that the overuse of misogyny muddies up the meanings of these words and makes it so that when I say, "That's not misogyny, it's sexism," what people seem to hear is, somehow, that I'm brushing off everything as not problematic.

So, to be clear, something doesn't need to be labeled misogyny to be problematic. Sexism is still very problematic.

And, yes, definitions of words change over time. Hopefully this happens as our understanding of situations evolve. But, what I am seeing in the prevalence of the preferred, nearly exclusive, use of "misogyny," with nary a use of the word "sexism" to be seen, is that we are actually losing important nuance. You and everyone else, are free to use whatever word you think best fits, of course. But I'm probably going to be sitting over here thinking that this whole conversation would be clearer and much more effective if we kept both words in play.

Cool, since the OP made the post non-reblogable, I'm just going to put this here...

Again, not saying it's not sexist. I actually literally said it was (as can be seen in this handy dandy highlighted screenshot of my post they were responding to. It's just not misogynistic. OP seems to have completely missed that distinction. Oh no, wait, they didn't miss it they commented on it in their tags...

Yeah, the terms have been being muddied up for a long while, but if no one ever pushes back on that, then we will lose the distinction and any hope of having an educated or nuanced conversation might as well be flung out the window. Ffs. Yes, word usage changes, and evolves, but not all changes or evolutions are good things.

Sam and Dean have sexist baggage. Dean more than Sam. And that is because Kripke and the writers and producers and directors and just a lot of people in general, have sexist baggage. So call it sexist. I mean, why the insistence on specifically using the word with the worse layers of meaning, when those worse layers don't actually seem to apply???

Obviously, this isn't just this one person, so many people do this. And I'm not picking on this one person, which is why I'm not tagging them and really don't care if they see this or not. I'm griping simply from my own frustration at how willfully reductive people in general are.

[mossiestpiglet]

Tried to explain that I experience low (maybe no) empathy to my family counselor and he immediately came back with telling me I was wrong and actually just experiencing hypervigilance, as if the two things were somehow mutually exclusive

[hajihiko]

Sonia and Komaeda getting along well enough to room together is so good honestly. Even if its mostly bc she takes no shit, Komaeda was still like the only person to stand up for her when Teruteru was trying to get frisky about her naiveté in the prologue/ch1.

I kind of suspect she was acting more unknowing than she really was then, to suit her role as a princess, but he had no way of knowing that then. Plus, if she was aware then, it might be easier for her to recognize the side of him that isn't all hope n murder? Since outside of the killing game he's pretty polite (if self effacing) and generally not down for creepy behavior.

If you've got any more thoughts on these two's interactions postgame, I'd love to hear.

I dont think it's perfect by any means (nothing on the ship is!) but its proooobably the best quick-solution scenario?

[faaun]

pls i need to provide updates

[loderlied]

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW

[anastacialy]

y'know, i keep making a habit of swinging my bat at hornets nests, but i have to say i'm getting so, so tired of people complaining about shows not making perfect sense when they aren't even close to done. we're four episodes into this season of doctor who. we're four episodes into this season of bridgerton. and yet in both fandoms i keep seeing people whine that such and such didn't make sense or it wasn't explained all the way and by god you guys i think maybe explanations might come later in the season. this is something most viewers will recognize as being called a 'plot.'

[tragically-jane-doe]

So what I've gotten from this doc is that James green most definitely sucks and that Lisa frank also most definitely sucks

[im2tired4usernames]

Ugh I was excited for today until I found out I'd have to spend it with people that actively make me hate being alive hate the future and drain me off all energy physically mentally spiritually like a vampire I can't stand to be around her she is the definition of stupidity and even then that's generous as fuck this bitch has filled her brain with so much garbage I watch her brain cells die at alarming rates every single time she uses her vocal cords her giggles make me want to jam a sewing needle into my ear repeatedly so I can never have to hear it again its a friendly reminder that my parents decisions this time my dad's constantly makes me want to die

[pallases]

english prof just left LOADS of feedback on my essay omg this is so exciting

[ive-fallen-and-i-cannot-get-up]

u ever drift from one friend group to another but ur still kinda friends with ur old friends and u realise that ur new friend group is so much nicer. like they’re both nice to u but every now and then ur old friends make a joke that a) isn’t that funny and b) is kinda mean to a group of ppl i.e. fat ppl and ur just like “huh either i’ve matured and u haven’t or i just didn’t realise how empathetic ppl could be before i met my new friends”
