Thinking about Eddie Munson who was complaining to the rest of the band about his shoulders and neck hurting post show. One of them convinces him to go for a massage.

Eddie shows up day of and is told to strip to level of comfort and get under the sheets laying on his back, his masseuse will knock before coming in. Eddie has not an ounce of care or shame, strips completely naked. Scars and tattoos on full display. He climbs between the sheets and waits. After knocking and hearing a "come in", his masseuse enters and-

The most handsome man he's ever seen walks in. A bit of stubble on his defined jaw, soft pale lips Eddie wants to kiss, big brown eyes Eddie wants to get lost in, slutty little waist and an ass Eddie could-

He introduces himself as Steve. Verifies where Eddie had said his tension was on the form he hastily filled out. Then it starts.

And maybe, maybe, Eddie is a bit touch starved. He could have anyone he wants, but they don't want him just his fame. Pushes them all away. Only gets close to his band, but they all are busy and have their own people outside of work.

And Steve is just touching him. Rubbing smooth circles into his temple, down his cheekbones towards his jaw. Pressing on parts of Eddie's face he didn't even realize were tense. It's relaxing.

And Eddie regrets not leaving at least his boxers on to help hide that he's becoming hard. Kind of embarrassing, which makes his dick harder- which, that's a lot to unpack right now-

"Hey, relax man," Steve says, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder. Eddie can see Steve's eyes dart towards the obvious situation," It's natural. Happens to the best of us." "Does it happen to you?" Eddie blurts out. Eddie wants to shove his face in one of these soft plush pillows and scream, but Steve just snorts a laugh and shakes his head at him. Doesn't even respond as he continues the massage.

Eddie tries to hold back his groans as Steve turns his head to the side and rubs his neck into his shoulders. He can feel the tension leave his body slowly. Feel the knots in his muscles release.

Eddie can't, however, hold back the noise he makes when Steve grabs a hold of his hair and tugs it. Eddie's eyes pop open and he stares into Steve's face, who has started blushing. Steve just clears his throat and let's Eddie's hair go before continuing the massage.

Most purpose is more burden than glory. And trust me, you never wanna be the guy who avoids it ’cause you can’t live with the burden.

Me, going into the Summon Room after two days of starving myself: "Maybe if I get the Servant I want then I would finally want to try and eat something! Haha just kiddi-"

FGO gacha god: "For fuck sake here's your two whores with very luxury rainbow sparkles now go eat you fucking donkey!"

I feel like I should let you know that when you casually drop new lore (specifically about yourself) it just makes you more cryptic, you'll mention some normal childhood thing and then just drop the craziest shit with zero warning and it's great

Do you know what 4x02 does? Why it's so important? Why it converted me?

In one line in that fight, it has the big reveal: Mike isn't oblivious

He wasn't ignoring Will in blissful ignorance. He isn't helpless in his fight to love El. He is an active participant in his story and a facilitator of it. He is not just along for the ride, staring off into space, having fun with his girlfriend until things go wrong. He noticed Will's grumpiness which means his ignorance was willful and active.

Mike Wheeler is doing things on purpose. He isn't some boy with no understanding of his feelings walking around staring off into space until he bumps into things or has an epiphany, he's doing things, yes, including nothing, but purposeful nothings. Mike Wheeler is making decisions every time we see them - sometimes frantic, sometimes poor, but decisions.

Mike's only excuse in season 3 and one and a half episodes of season 4 are oblivion: he just doesn't know what he's doing, he was focused on other things and slipped up, he's forgetful, he's too nervous to say it.

Season 4 episodes 2 and 3 exist to tear that idea apart and say: No. He knew. Or maybe he didn't, but he knew that he didn't know. He is having problems and he is dealing with them wrong but he knows they're problems. He is making frantic choices left and right to deal with the situations he knows he's in. He isn't looking off into the distance because he's daydreaming. He's looking off into the distance because he's analyzing outcomes at all times. Only actively engaged people are defensive that quickly and he was anticipating the attacks Will wasn't launching. Only frantically present people who know the answer to her question too well speak around it in circles.

Only people who already know the answer are able to lie.

Thinking about Yellow. Thinking about the Shifu Tie Lung of it all. The nature vs nurture. How Arthur was so regretful of how he treated Yellow that he memorized Yellow's vindictive speech.

I reblogged a post with this sentiment but in it I essentially said that Arthur obviously projects himself on people like Larson, the Butcher, and John. How he was stuck in a cycle of wanting to kill the ugly parts of himself he saw in Larson. Wanted to hide and ignore the parts of himself he saw in the Butcher. And that he wanted to help the parts of himself he saw in John. But in never giving up Arthur-Spit-In-The-Eye-Of-God-Lester created an Ouroboros in himself. Because if he can't help John then it circles back around to wanting to kill and hide himself.

Yellow and John started off the exact same. Except Yellow found himself bound to a ragged and jaded Arthur who didn't hesitate to tell him all the ways he wasn't like John. And Yellow acted out but there was still light in him. Arthur recites a poem while drunk and Yellow shuts up and listens. Larson later reciting one too and he almost sounds hopeful when he asks if Larson wrote it. Yet Arthur failed him. He wasn't patient and he expected Yellow to reach the same point it took John months to reach in a few days. And he doomed Yellow by chosing to guide him like that.

Shifu raised a monster by promising him the world and Arthur raised a monster by making him think he was holding him back from owning the world. And it kills me that Yellow ended up with Larson. From one unhealthy relationship to an even worse one.

Hell when Arthur confronts him and admits that he failed him Yellow listens. He doesn't accept the apology and he's not obligated to. But he listens to it. When he comes face to face with John all he can ask is "why you?" Why does Arthur care for you? What do I lack? And when John says "because I care about him."

Yellow who was thrust into an unfamiliar world and lied to by the man he's supposed to trust. Who gets told time and time again that he's not right. Who wasn't given the chance to grow attached to anything or anyone. But who knows he's the least loved compared to a "weaker" version of himself. How can he trust anyone? How can he care about anyone? How could he love anyone when all he can latch onto and trust is the knowledge that he was once a king.

It hurts me that he was thrown into the Dark World/dreamlands lol. Cause he's so similar to John that it's not a far fetch to guess that it will be his hell. And if he makes the best of it and rules with an iron fist it won't make him happy. Not forever. Because not even the King in Yellow could live within it.

Arthur couldn't fix the parts of himself he saw in Yellow fast enough for his waning patience and for it Arthur shamed him. But it was a failed expectation from the start. Yellow was doomed the moment he was ripped out of the King in Yellow and thrown at Arthur like a newborn baby. He was doomed the moment he became the second piece of the king in yellow to attach itself to Arthur. In a way, he was doomed since episode one when he wasn't the lucky piece that made it out of the portal. Arthur couldn't have helped him in the mental state he was in during season 3. Arthur failed him. And now Yellow is drowning.
