More Steve Has Older Siblings AU melodrama:
1. Steve didn’t know that he was getting rejected from the colleges he applied to because his dad was taking his mail. He thought that because it was taking a while that maybe it meant good news, but no. His dad stood up during their monthly family dinner hell and flung eight rejection letter across the table, announcing to all of them that Steve couldn’t even get into Tech.
2. Steve was convinced that his dad was allergic to peppermint because he made a big fuss about it being in the house all the time (he doesn’t like the smell.) One time when Steve was mad at him for breaking his toy, he broke off a piece of a candy cane and dropped it into his dad’s travel mug. He spent the whole day at school convinced that he killed his dad and was so relieved when he came home from work that Steve burst into tears.
3. Richie has been mistaken for Steve’s dad more times than his own kids.
4. When Jason was twenty-three, he got caught with cocaine on him and their dad had to pull strings to get him out of trouble. This has been Steve’s problem ever since.
5. Anytime his family made plans to do things together, Steve was never included so it’s kind of a shock when he’s woken up from a midday nap to Dustin pounding on his front door, shouting MAYDAY MAYDAY CODE RED CODE- “What the hell, man?”
Dustin doesn’t even answer him, just shoved inside like, “Are you hurt? Dying? Are you a force ghost right now?”
“Huh?” Steve is just baffled, even more so when Dustin fixed him with a look and brings up the plans the party made to meet at the arcade before having a monster movie marathon at the Wheelers. He asks why Steve didn’t show up and he answers with the obvious, “I wasn’t invited?”
“You were invited! We made the plans with you. You were right there!”
“Yeah, but…” Steve says a little confused but finds a warmth washing over him. “No one invited me.”
“Steve, you’re in the party. You’re always invited!” Dustin exclaims, throwing his hands up like it’s that easy. “You’re basically family.”
#This was supposed to be Dustin’s edition but DWTS took up too much of my time yesterday and I’m too tired to think#Steve looks most like his mother but if he looks like any of his siblings#it’d be Richie#Dustin’s lack of tact is probably Steve’s favorite thing about him#There has been so many times where Dustin has completely turned Steve’s world on it head#Just being his tiny little asshole self#Steve would never tell him this though#steve harrington#dustin henderson#Steve has older siblings Au#stranger things

Personally what I like best in terms of who’s older between Donnie and Leo is just them never knowing for sure BUT imagine Leo going up to Draxum and saying he’ll never bring up the roof incident again if Draxum tells Donnie that Leo’s the older twin.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rise donnie#rise leo#rise draxum#donnie would be so mad he would be SURE Leo had something to do with this#and Leo would just be like idk what to tell you bro Draxum said what he said#I’m pretty sure somewhere it was stated that Leo is the older one?#but tbh if I had to pick it’s just more interesting for Leo - the one who’s alwaysss the oldest in other iterations - to be second youngest#not that there’s like any difference tbh they’re so close in age that it doesn’t change much EXCEPT who has older/younger sib rights#it also makes Raph and Leo’s dynamic more interesting too since in fiction it usually is the oldest and second oldest fighting it out#again though I’m pretty sure canon says Leo is older#my personal pref is just never knowing#and if I HAD to pick then older Donnie is more interesting#I also like older donnie because it moves him up closer to April and I like that#but yeah - overall not knowing is best#oh yeah and Leo being second youngest also makes another interesting dynamic with Mikey as well#because you’d have Leo who never gets the gentle treatment opposed with Mikey who hates getting the gentle babying treatment

#tma#the magnus archives#elias bouchard#i kind of wrote a literal essay exploring how old he could realistically be#it’s driving me nuts#i’m also referring to the body’s age#since we know some parts of him are much older#oof#anyways#it might be because i’m trying to figure out the possible age difference between him and gwen#are they siblings? maybe? though by my calculations it’s more probable his her uncle. or god help us FATHER

update about horse stuff for the people who care 😭 my equine therapy is going well!! icelandic horses are so cool :’) i haven’t even ridden yet, i’ve mostly been brushing them and cuddling and taking them to and from the pasture, but even through those simple things i feel like i’ve gained a lot? which amazes me a bit
i’m consumed by the thought of riding on a regular basis again so i’ve contacted the riding school near me and asked for a private lesson so i can see how it feels to ride again, and if that goes well i might start taking weekly group lessons again :’D
#and now that i’m older than i was when i quit i don’t have to ride with children#which was part of what made me so uncomfortable#now i can actually ride with adults!! i feel like i’ll like that company much better#i’m so nervous though 😭#i trust that i could do most things from the get go#i mean i remember how to tack up and how to sit and how to gallop and jump#i don’t doubt that i could do that pretty quickly again#but it’s been so long what if i suck at it now 😭#okay i’ll stop rambling

the reason why bejeweled feels very calvin to me still is how it parallels high infidelity. in general, the 3am tracks seem to explore a darker, more explicit side of a storyline that’s already present, if only in the form of subtext (like we don’t have a direct parallel for wcs, but we do have two songs exploring formative past relationships vaguely sexually, and wcs is the darker example), on the main album, and bejeweled/high infidelity is perhaps the best example of this. its similarities to tolerate it, which is about something she felt ‘at one point in her life,’ back this up. HOWEVER, I do think it’s exploring a potential outcome of the then-current state of her relationship with joe. like, this is how things could go - I have forgotten that I have a man in the past, and I can do it again.
#it is not fully joe and anyone who comes to me with bUt ToLeRaTe It Is ClEaRlY a JoE sOnG#no it’s not#it’s literally just not#I don’t see that dynamic at all#‘you’re so much older and wiser’#they weren’t having the greatest time in fall 2020 but it’s not bc she was watching him sleep#are there shades of how she felt yeah okay maybe but I honestly don’t even think she saw it that way at the time#the parts about putting someone on a pedestal and using your best colors to paint their portrait was always interesting though#but I digress#bejeweled#tolerate it#high infidelity#midnights#ttpd#I actually had an argument about tolerate it in a tiktok comment section once (not my wisest moment) and this person was like ‘oh but I wasn#talking about specific people in her personal life!!!! just her music’ the deflection#like if you want to draw parallels between her songs go right ahead#but#own up to it#have a backbone#sorry I’m sleepy#anyway my beloved muricans are asleep and my dash is quiet now

Interesting. Don’t necessarily think I’m autistic but I have more going on than just ADHD and I’m not sure what that is.
#I’m not even sure if the ADHD is actually ADHD either or if it’s just technology addiction#Gonna get a REAL neuropsych evaluation at some point out of sheer curiosity as to what the fuck is wrong with me#I relate to a lot of autistic things and I relate to a lot of ADHD things; but I don’t entirely relate to the majority of either population#and I don’t relate to people with both enough to think I have both#I’ve begun treating myself as if I am autistic just for Kicks and using things that help them and it’s helping in some ways#but I know it’s probably not autism because even though I struggle socially; it’s not because of the same reasons#I understand social cues; I was only accidentally perceived as rude as a kid (and most kids are kind of blunt)#(Mostly a moderate amount of “Stop correcting me! It’s disrespectful!” from my parents)#And nowadays because of how much psychology and acting I study; I can perceive shrimp social cues#And I’m purposefully doing all the right things but it still feels like I fail social interactions because of my lack of assertiveness#which I KNOW come from being raised in a cult#so perhaps my odd social behavior is from CPTSD from being raised in a puritan doomsday cult as an only child#Because I was NOT introverted or sensitive to others as a child#I did not have routines as a child and the ones I did have were for fun and did not distress me if I strayed from them#But now I need structure as an adult because I don’t know what else to do with myself if I have nowhere to be#But at the same time everyone feels worse when they have no routine or expectations#And is it actually inattentive ADHD or severe derealization and an itch to do as many things as possible#because I spent my childhood being raised in a boring doomsday cult by disabled older parents who couldn’t physically do much?#(And I don’t fault my parents for being disabled but I do fault them for the whole doomsday cult thing)#So I spent my whole childhood doing mentally tedious things when really I’m more wired for physically spontaneous things#Because I was not allowed to walk around the neighborhood alone until I was sixteen#And I couldn’t hang out with friends I wanted to hang out with because they were bad association#So of course I got really good at drawing even though I don’t even like drawing that much#Of course I got really good at writing even though I don’t like writing that much#Now that I don’t need to escape from anything I find I actually hate drawing and writing because it’s such a chore#they make my heart rate accelerate in a way I don’t like to feel#(I hate writing less than drawing)

horrible little vindictive spirit that lives inside me so pleased when i bring up a question i am planning to ask the teacher (our assignment) in small group discussion and one of the other students starts answering in a way that is not only not answering my question but ALSO assuming i know Nothing about writing papers. like yes thanks i do know that we have set spacing and margins.
and then i ask my question anyway and not only is it answered the teacher proves i was not asking at all what that student tried (multiple times and all wrong) answering and also the answer was something most of the class didn’t know and were happy to hear. like the teacher Literally put another slide in her class slides specifically to answer this question because she realised it was an oversight
have you heard such a reason to be insufferably smug?
#it took so much not to snap i’m not stupid at her#she was also being really harsh about it#like there was no possible way she was wrong#even though i kept saying no that’s not my question#just because you’re twice our age#and were a research assistant twenty years ago#doesn’t mean that you automatically know everything#also that wasn’t my question?????#i don’t understand why some older students#make it like their whole thing to act like they’re another professor#i mean it’s because she’s insecure about being twice our age#so she wants to act like she knows everything#but damn there’s another woman in the class#almost her age#and she’s just the nicest person ever#anywayyyyyyyy#personali#txt

GGS TEAM PAST!!!
#DUUUDE THIS WAS SO FUN#dreadful#veji#art#splatoon#splatoon 3#grand festival#grand fest splatoon#Man I shed like a few tears by the end of the reveal news thing#Like not out of sadness cause my team lost but just from the joy that all this happened and I was here for it.#I never got to experience splatoon 2’s final fest so I’ve waited 3 years for this and I’m…. Just so happy!#If you couldn’t tell from the colours in the drawing I’m team future btw#I laughed so hard seeing the results lol we got NOTHING#Oh and I guess I should put my reasoning for my pick of future#so here it is:#I picked it because the future scares me. But it’s gonna happen anyway so I might as well look forward to it#I can’t let myself worry about where I’ll end up and who I’ll be when I’m older#But I do need to keep looking forward#I also chose it cause of deep cut. Like that was a big factor in my choice#Their music shaped my tastes. I just love it so much#And sure the characters themselves aren’t as fleshed out as the other idols#But they still mean a lot to me as splatoon 3 is the game that got me into the franchise#Even though I played 2 before 3 could never fully enjoy it as I came too late#I missed every splatfest cause I got it a year before splat3#So I could never connect the way I did to 3#Hearing anarchy rainbow for the first time changed me man. I fell in love instantly. It just means so much.#As an autistic person I actually surprisingly don’t really stim that much. But hearing anarchy rainbow just… flipped a switch.#I couldn’t stop moving. Literally like DJ Octavio man. It was a crazy experience to just feel like I had to move.#to walk around or something. To wave and flap my arms. Copy their dances. It sounds a little weird and childish when it’s written down#But it’s true. Splatoon’s music showed me that my autistic stimming was something I should embrace.

1499 for the art reference ask, please?
This one turned into Eilonwy!
The original is a photo from Unsplash, I believe. I found it when looking for a picture of a girl in a medieval style dress for the moodboard I made for The Tiffany Problem. This one wasn’t right for Tiffany but the pose did look to me like it’d be good for Eilonwy holding up her bauble. I unfortunately colored the bauble too dark so it doesn’t look like it’s shining even with the gold marker I added.
Send me a number, explanation here
#I don’t see myself using the reference again though and I don’t care for it for its own sake so it does get to be deleted I think#Hurrah one more down from my reference pictures! XD#…After I’ve added so many just yesterday…#Eilonwy#Whether the hair is red-gold enough I’m not sure but it does look much better in person#So does her pendant and bauble#Again no ink lines#My art#I was pleased with the blue paint wash making a shadow behind her but only now do I see I should’ve added stone walls and a floor#Maybe someday#Valia#art asks#This continues to be excellent fun#My asks#The photo was also of an older girl.. in retrospect I followed her form too closely for this to be Eilonwy when she first meets Taran#And yet this is the costume I drew her in.#Well maybe I’ll sketch and paint another in white and this one I’ll paint her dress so it’s an older Eilonwy#DRAT I just reread that scene and she should’ve had silver links about her waist

anti-aging discourse sucks. ‘crows feet’ ‘smile lines’ ‘age spots’ ‘neck flab’ etc are so so terrible you need to use this moisturizer and this mask and sleep with this pillow and always wear 80 spf and a giant hat if you must go outdoors and — No! I get more sane every year I live and it will show on my face. That’s okay. Good even.
#samantha.txt#I mean it though I get more sane every year I get older#I was so unwell in high school#and in college!#and everything was so so much but I’m so much more okay now#aging is great!#sure my bones will get old and that will suck#BUT the way I love and have been loved is being written on my physical self#I will not fear it

I just looked at the price on the back of a book I’ve had for a bit over a decade and it was four. fucking. dollars. Just four with no taxes. No extra 97cents or something before taxes. Just a round number that you would add taxes to.
I googled the price of a new edition and it was almost thirteen! Not an even thirteen, it was like 12.96 or something. Close enough that it’s basically thirteen but if you’re adding multiple items together to try and get the price on a purchase with more items it would add more confusion.
#emma posts#it was also a bit difficult to find a new copy on my phone#the edition I have was selling for wildly varying prices as a vintage book now#but that’s just a kids chapter book from a fairly large publisher#I know inflation happens and stuff but holy shit#buying things at the book fair makes so much more sense now#I bought that for 4$ plus taxes at the schoolastic book fair#it was maybe 12 years ago?#I could look at the publishing date for a better idea#the series had just switched publishers and the first few were being re-released at the time#before the new publisher and the author finished the series#four dollars though#I had to check the book because I know the current price of many paperbacks and I knew that series was still in print#but what lead to this was the price tag falling off an old brush I found from like. 2009 or 2010#and the tag on this very large brush was seven dollars#which seemed cheap so I looked at current brush prices online but since the exact same brush isn’t being sold and brush prices vary more#it was a bit harder for me to get an idea of it. books though. books I know#I’ve even bought stuff from that publisher recently (they have a lot of novel and comic translations)#but it also struck me how the old price tag was an even four and an even seven dollars but all new ones had 97 or 98 cents#that ten dollars from helping out grandma wouldn’t have even gotten me one book with modern prices#but back then I could get TWO#even just seven could have gotten me a book and some fun school supplies back then#to have that experience now you would need to give your kid a 20$#I understand inflation okay? I am just taken off guard rn and having realizations#I’m going to add to this post again. when I say wildly varied vintage prices I mean WILDLY varied#one dude was trying to sell it on Amazon for 55$ but on eBay it was 4 to 5$#I bought the next three books in the series from that same print. signed. for 13$ together#I had older editions of those and wanted a full series of just the ones that were being re-released during my reading time
