Steve Harrington x fem!reader
Synopsis: Steve gets a wake up call from yall's daughter
Contents: talks of aging, kids being kids, references to smut but nothing explicit
Steve groans as his consciousness comes to. Something is hitting his face. Someone. Repeatedly.
Steve squints his bleary eyes open as a hand smacks him in the jaw again. A small smile appears on his face even though his jaw stings from the impact. "Morning," Steve's voice is still thick with sleep as he turns to look into brown eyes barely peeking over the edge of the bed.
A quiet voice repeats back ,"Morning," to Steve before arms reach up over the edge of the bed to try and grasp something. Small hands grab the blanket and tug it off of him slightly as the child attempts to climb up. At two and half, Amelia Joy Harrington can barely see above the edge of her parents' bed, let alone get on it.
Steve hoists Amelia up and sits her on his stomach. Steve winces as Amelia scrambles, a stray foot hitting his thigh precariously close to his crotch. Arms are thrown around his neck in a hug as Amelia lays her head against her dad's chest.
Steve feels like his heart could burst out of his chest from the joy he is feeling. A hug from his baby? The best way to wake up in the morning. Who cares if his jaw is still stinging and probably red, his little girl loves him.
Steve sighs in contentment. Steve holds his daughter close until she starts to fidget and wiggle. Amelia sits up and throws her hands in the air. "Happy Birthday!" She whispers excitedly, except she has no concept of how quiet a whisper should actually be and says it in a much too loud voice.
"What?" Steve asks, hand hovering near Amelia's side in case she slips. Amelia's eyebrows furrow as she pouts at him, a look that is an exact copy of you. Her arms slowly lower as she stares at Steve. "Happy Birthday. You old." Amelia pouts at him.
Steve blinks at Amelia in confusion but nods his head. First off, rude, he isn't that old. Steve isn't sure where she gets her unfiltered, blunt commentary (it absolutely isn't him). Second, it absolutely isn't his birthday. Not even close.
"Why uh...why is it my birthday?" Steve asks, unsure if Amelia fully understands the concept. Not sure if he can explain the idea of a birthday to a two (and a half) year old. "Grey." Amelia declares giving Steve whiplash. Before Steve can speak, Amelia points at the comforter," Blue." Steve smiles," Yes, blue."
Amelia points to her shirt," Green." Steve nods. Amelia taps under Steve's eye, lashes brushing against her finger causing him to close it. Steve hopes she doesn't attempt to actually poke his eye.
"Brown." Amelia declares. "Thats right." Steve grins, his girl is so smart. Amelia points to his temple," Grey." "That's ri- what?! No!" Steve's mouth drops open as Amelia giggles. "Uncle Dustbin says grey is old. Birthday makes old. Happy Birthday!"
The creak of the loose floorboard in the hall notifies Steve of your approach. You peek into the doorway of the room, seeing your two favorite people. One looking aghast and the other giggling at her father's reaction.
"What's going on in here?" You ask, leaning against the doorway. "Grey. Birthday." Amelia announces, like it explains everything. And it does in her little mind.
You hum in response, looking at your husband who seems lost for words. Amelia slides off of Steve and off the bed, Steve guiding her so her feet land on the ground absent-mindedly. He would never let her fall or get hurt. Or you.
Amelia half walks half dances in your direction. A prance in her step, she stops in front of you and grabs your hands. "It's daddy's birthday," She says before headbutting your leg. You chuckle and pat her head as she dances out of the room, in her own little world.
"You lying to my kid again?" You ask once Amelia is gone. Steve sputters as he sits up," I did not- our kid- did not lie." "Uh-huh, sure," you say sarcastically. Steve rolls his eyes at you as he gets up out of bed.
Steve stretches as he rocks on his feet, back cracking, before strolling over to you. "Good morning," Steve mumbles, hand landing on your hip. You hum back as he leans in and kisses you. Soft. Slow. Sweet. Leaving you longing for more as he pulls back.
"Love you," Steve says, fingers running along the waistband of your pants. "I love you too," you want to melt into him. Curl up in his arms and stay in this moment. Let the love and adoration fill the air around you.
"Do I look old?" Steve is the first to break the silence. Your brow furrows in confusion," huh?" "Amelia she," Steve huffs out a laugh," said I have grey hair." You chuckle as you bring a hand up, fingers threading through his hair," You have some but its nice." "Its nice huh?" "Makes you look distinguished. Handsome." You bite your lip and look up at him.
Steve knows that look. Knows it well. It's the look you gave him the first time you moved past just making out. The same look you gave him on your first anniversary. The same look you wore on your wedding night. The same look you gave before Amelia was conceived.
Steve can't help the smirk that spreads across his face. If getting old gives him that look, well, he won't complain.
"What about me?" You ask, batting your lashes. "Beautiful," Steve kisses your cheek," Gorgeous," he kisses the corner of your lips. He continues to alternate between kissing all over your face and praising you.
"My love," Steve whispers before kissing you softly on the lips. You sigh into the kiss, one hand tangling in his hair, the other trying to pull him closer.
A loud crash from the living room has you two pulling back from the sweet moment you stole. "What was that?" You call down the hall. "Nothing!" Amelia yells back, making you sigh but smile. Steve can't help but grin too. His life was a little hectic dealing with a rambunctious child, but he wouldn't trade it for the world. And he thinks, if life is like this, he can manage getting old with you. He wouldn't want it any other way.
#Steve whines to Robin later who just sits there laughing until she cries#Until he points out she's aged too because she has laugh lines from smiling and then she spirals just a bit#He has to hold her hand and tell her its a good thing and she goes on a rant about anti-aging and its harder for women then men#How there's all this extra pressure and Steve is aghast like he isnt dumb he knew there was but he never heard it all verbalized#He comes home and kisses you and gets on his knees and tells you he loves you#He then begs you to let him show you how much he loves you wanting nothing more then to use his tongue on you#I mean why would you not let him#And when you lay in bed cuddling after he thinks again he doesn't mind aging if he's doing it with you#You wake up abruptly in the middle of the night and startle him awake#“Oh my God Amelia is going to go to high school and get a boyfriend” you whine#Steve just mutters an oh God and immediately starts thinking if it would be TOO much to have the nail bat when he speaks to said boyfriend#You both think about it for a long time meanwhile Amelia is asleep in her room with drool running out of her mouth hugging a stuffed animal#Anyways Steve nation we up??? This has been drafted for awhile but not posted but I am inspired#And I saw this and went oh yeah post that#So here it is...for u...on this fine Friday early morning#Jade is talking#steve harrington x reader#Steve harrington x you#Steve Harrington x y/n#Steve Harrington/you#Steve Harrington/reader#steve harrington x female!reader

hate going for christian weddings sometimes because i always see the prettiest women with the ugliest men, the sermon is always some shit about wives being slaves (but not like bad slavery, mutual slavery except the husband is a benevolent master which makes it okay) and making babies for their husband, the music is always lame, the mc is always weird and obnoxious, and older women keep fucking asking me when it's gonna be my turn and never take no for an answer.
#mine#personal#brief storytime in the tags#one of my family friends got married and i was happy she was happy#her parents are like an aunt and uncle to me#i was happy to share that moment with them#we cried and laughed together#and my friends#their other daughters were on the line and looked gorgeous#it was just beautiful watching us all grow up in a way and move on to “the next” together#BUT#im a pastor's kid#and my dad loves weddings#he drinks them in whenever he can now especially because they make him happy and he's had to attend a lot more funerals this year#he's been burdened a lot by how many people he's had to bury and how many hospital visits he's had to do#so i was happy to see him happy too#it just all felt so bittersweet to me#because i know how badly my parents want this for me and for themselves#there was a daddy-daughters dance at some point and i could feel my dad beaming beside me watching that#and i was a little sad about it because i was like im never gonna give you that#this could be the best thing i could ever give you and i will never give you this#i can never kneel at an altar in front of a pastor and swallow that sermon#i would never marry a man in my generation#if i married a woman you and almost the entire tent filled with people that watched me grow up would not attend#my happiest day would be another funeral for you#it was worse because im kind of a small celebrity in this community because of my parents and their siblings who are politicians#so people i barely knew kept coming up and asking me when it would be my turn and how they so looked forward to the day#and i was like i love that we're a community here and i missed the pestering of aunts since i left church#but at the same time i was glad to remember why i left#there is no freedom to be myself at all with them because all they do is project their beliefs and ideas on me because that's what children

just finished listening to the attic liveshow and wow i really liked that!! it felt very reminiscent of old night vale to me, nothing too town-shattering but more personal (even if it did technically affect most people in town). my favourite line i think, and this is slight spoilers, was “abby and i would sit there in the dark holding hands, not knowing what game was being played, knowing only that we were losing”. like OUCH that hit me hard, especially because i’m a sucker for anything related to cecil and abby and their past (bc who isn’t) so anytime i hear smth like that i just want to cry and give their younger selves the biggest hug :((
other than that my favourite part i think was cecil and disparition just swapping places LMAO that was hilarious to me. it also made me wish, not for the first time, the live shows were recorded so i could see what’s going on. i’ve seen photos people have taken and i wish i could’ve also seen what was being shown on the screens and also cecil being silly on the piano. i’m sure there’s a practical reason it’s only audio recordings but as someone who is likely never going to see a night vale show live (australian city that nobody visits sigh) idk it would be nice to actually watch a visual live show
but yes anyways 10/10 live show loved it and we got to hear deb TWICE so that’s always a win
#anyways yea that was my very impromptu review of the attic#i just wanted to ramble bc i ended up liking that a lot#i have a few live shows left to listen to now!!#welcome to night vale#wtnv#wtnv cecil#wtnv the attic#oh and not to mention that little palmer-robles family mention at the end#THEYRE GOING TO GO ON A ROADTRIP TO MAKE BETTER MEMORIESSS i could’ve cried right then and there#jeffery and joseph’s bits also made me laugh#love it when they get to act in the show i hope they continue to do it more

I’m going to be very transparent for a sec. I’ve had two alcohol induced psychosis events happen to me in the past week where I attempted to harm myself and ended up talking to police officers. I’m a recovering alcoholic that tries really really hard but keeps relapsing. I’ve tried AA and therapy and nothing is helping because they keep telling me to look for “my higher power” and I’m not gonna lie, in my opinion, that shit is wack. I’m struggling a lot and faith is the last thing on my mind. Anyways, I wanted to make this post to thank y’all for being one of the main sources of happiness and support for me. I don’t get a lot of people outside of this community that reach out to me when im hurting so im very grateful to have y’all in my silly little phone. I promise I will be back to making mods and what not soon but I’ve been really enjoying making music, it feels almost therapeutic. But yeah, thanks for being here for me y’all. I love you guys.
#the police officer last night was surprisingly very friendly and even made me laugh#I’m glad I’m still here and I’m going to make things right for myself because there’s so much more in this world that I want to live for#suicide tw#tw sui attempt#tw self harm#tw#tw alchohol mention#tw alcohol#also I couldn’t make myself go to the psych ward because I needed to stay home to take care of the kitten#I was bawling my eyes out because I felt so guilty about even thinking of having someone else take care of him#he’s so bonded to me that he cries for me when someone else holds him#I just couldn’t#also the psych ward sucks#and I’m not knocking it entirely but#it really is a last resort thing for me now#after being in one that drugged me up on Ativan and took me off my heart meds to the point where I didn’t remember it#a whole ass week I have no recollection of

I saw Seiji will be in next week episode so I got too excited and happy that my pain became worse even tho I was happy thinking it calmed down 😅
Since I'm not too fine that I had to withhold watching the episode till I feel a bit better but then I saw it and saw Seiji and ... yup 😂
Even getting happy or too excited can backfire on me very nicely 🤷♀️
It's kinda sad that alot of times I have to stay away from things that makes me happy or excited because if I get overlly so then it can make my health feel worse than it already is .. even tho I tend to search for something to distract me from this pain etc but oh well 🫠
Anyway, Baka Seiji baka Seiji BAKA SEIJI !!!
#the struggle to even enjoy something or keep myself in check while doing so 😂#I don't mind much .. I'm pretty used to this ... I can't do something about it so at least won't let it get me depressed#although I admit I do get sad sometimes I even cried about it in the past but no more .. I now laugh it off#I may be slow of things ... or may not even do what I really want freely#but the fact that I can still do it despite it all is in itself a blessing :)#so that's fine ...#but still I must sue Seiji for what he did to me !!#but I still love you and you make me feel too happy !!! ugh but I wanna sue you for the damage#still I can't .. in fact .. keep it up ...#you help distract me .. ignoring the fact that if I'm not careful I might regret it lol

#tw abuse#hi#im just lying down in the dark on a rainy day and need to vent here because I can’t get myself to journal#today i miss my mom so so much#I miss who she was before the drugs and alcoholism#she can be so nurturing and generous and kind when she’s not using#she couldn’t be the mother she was capable of being because of her addiction and severe mental health issues#I was emotionally and physically abused til I was 16 and the thing is#I don’t have hate or resentment for her#I only want the best for her#I just ache inside knowing that because she’s still in denial and addiction and we can’t have a relationship#I have no immediate family left and my extended family aren’t the nicest people#lately my ptsd has been triggered a lot and old trauma has been resurfaced#witnessing an incredible amount of domestic violence growing up still fucks with my head#it was so scarring#won’t get into details there but god it really did a number on me#the bottom line is I miss who my mom was before the alcohol and abuse#and more importantly#I miss myself#I miss laughing until I cried#I miss not running from everything#I miss letting myself feel#personal

I have two main disappointments.
1) I wanted to hear some of what Trent wrote, like him narrating at the end.
2) I did not want Beard and Jane to be together cause she sucks
#ted lasso spoilers#ted lasso#otherwise I really liked it#I laughed#I cried#I cried some more#I’m not disappointed#and we did get a lot#but it still felt like there was something missing#like idk that there needed to be just a few minutes more#I also just wanted more Trent in general#and to see his goodbye with Ted

Which rage language are you?
open the floodgates
your frustration turns into tears quickly. the strength of your fury is so potent that it sets off the waterworks out of pure rage. you hate it, because whoever's pissed you off thinks it's funny, like you're not tough and you can't defend yourself. you can, you just need to get through the haze of emotions first.
Tagged by: no one. I saw @ashortdropandasuddenstop do it <3
Tagging: @izzyeffinhands @fxckin-blackbeard @blackflcgs @indestructiblelittlefuckers @tatteredxsails
#this is so accurate for Stede though#because he’s often thought of as weak and is made fun of#so if he cries out of anger they’d do exactly that: laugh and call him weak#he just needs to go through the emotions first then gather himself and then he acts#which we’ve seen in the show like with Nigel badminton’s ghost#I want to do more of these#dash games#about Stede Bonnet

Eh, competitive ang nanay ko.
Walang makatatalo sa kanya. S'ya ang grand champion no matter what happens.
#that time when I was just asking to have more underwear because I'm a growing teenager and my baby bras are not helping anymore#somehow made it all about her and we cried because her life was so hard#I don't know man#you only realize you've been living in a toxic household when you start living alone#oh and that time when my sister's child died#and we were reminiscing her memories#laughing and trying to move on#and she comes in like how dare we laugh#and she doesn't want to hear us talking about her because it pains her#why did it become all about you again?#also that time when..

#I’ve been feeling really really lonely lately#I think my one irl friend is tired of me#I haven’t made a new friend in Three Years#nobody wants to be my friend#I’ve been so sad the past few weeks#at school everybody has somebody#everyone in groups and talking and laughing together#and I’m just there the only one alone#at work everyone paired off into groups talking when it’s slow#and I’m alone#I’m always alone#nobody likes me#on the bus I saw a kinda friend but she barely paid me any mind#and I just cried the rest of the ride#no one wants to talk to me or know me#i can’t do anything#everything I’ve been watching has been upsetting me more cause even the characters I relate to have people#I’ve never dated anyone before#probably never will no one would want to#people use to like me I don’t know what happened#whenever I try to talk to someone they just awkwardly brush it off#I haven’t been getting much praise for my art so I think it’s bad#I’m just so sad and tired and I haven’t told anyone anything#no one knows all of this is bothering me#just gonna cry in bed

#tag talk#as much as I hate to see the social cinema grow as I get new followers. we're at a good and satisfying number. and I like that#also also also. I've introduced a friend to Hannibal (tv show) and he's loving it and I'm so happy cause none of#of my other friends have been able to stomach the body horror. so it's super cool to find someone to hype over it with#another random story that I genuinely can't remember if I said already. got told by a kid in minecraft that he's smiled a lot more around me#which. huge compliment. genuine honor to make people happy and smile and laugh#people don't laugh enough. we don't smile enough. be happy or die. and I'm too powerful to die. been there. haven't done that#cry and then laugh and then punch as hard as you can.#got to visit some of my favorite residents from the nursing home I first worked at. lotta new staff but my three favorite nurses are still#which is nice. I cried when I left that job because even though it crushed my soul I loved my coworkers and most of my residents.#I get why some healthcare workers grind themselves to the bone for the job. you're making such a huge difference in people's lives.#I tried but didn't have the fortitude for it. but it's nice to be able to go back and say hi to the friends I made and see how things are.#anyway. sorry for being weird like.. one or two weeks ago. I think things are settling out again. moving is rough but we're making it work#It's been a lot of Lear again lately. especially while being at my parents house. he doesn't mind being deadnamed as much sooo....#idk. at least one of us is capable of surviving the dmv and the state medicaid website. heaven knows I can't manage.#trying to stop using him as a crutch for getting things done has just resulted in us not being able to get things done.#but I don't want to be someone else I want to be me. I don't want to be the armor I want to be the human inside.#I don't want to live defensively. pushing everyone away. I can't do that.#anyway. we're back home! and work is on the horizon. hopefully this job works out cause I don't want to have to apply for new jobs.#the hr rep is a man at this store and I immediately got set on edge and our voice dropped as I stepped back.#then we introduced ourselves with the wrong name and he got confused and I just felt stupid about it#but how am I supposed to know which name he's been told. he didn't even use our paperwork name. Anyway that was a disaster#but we're on track and embarrassment is not a setback but a feeling about the way things progress. and it is progress we're making
