#PLEASE TELL ME I’M NOT ALONE

fanfiction has ruined my life (part 78/??): today went to a work meeting and the sentence “take what you need” was on the screen. apparently in reference to mental health breaks/time and not…well, yeah.

Technically yes I DID already write one but for some reason I randomly thought about this song my dad taught me and decided to do something sickeningly sweet about it!

“There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.” Eddie keeps humming as Steve cocks his head.

“What’re you singing, Eds?” He asks, smiling. “Doesn’t sound like one of your typical songs.”

Eddie hums. It reverberates in his chest, makes Steve’s face buzz where he’s laying on it. “It’s a drinking song,” he says. “Or a working song. I can’t remember which, just something to keep time to. There’s a lot of verses. I dunno all of them.”

“Who taught you?” Steve asks, almost cringing, because he’s sure the answer is going to be his father.

Eddie curls an arm around Steve’s shoulders. “Wayne,” he murmurs. “He’s taught me a few.” He laughs. It sounds hollow, tired. “I know what you were thinking, sweetheart, but my dad wasn’t ever around enough to teach me any of that stuff. Just the important things.”

The important lies heavy on Steve’s heart. He knows it means things a nine-year-old shouldn’t ever have to learn. “‘M sorry.”

“‘S not your fault.” He rolls over carefully, until they’re both face-to-face. “M’kay? And I’m really happy, here, with you.”

Steve smiles, looks him in the eyes. Sees truth shining back at him. “I’m happy with you too,” he whispers. “Really happy. I didn’t think I’d ever get this.”

Eddie smoothes Steve’s hair back, presses a kiss to his forehead. “I know exactly what you mean.”

Steve snuggles in, closes his eyes. Relishes in the hand laid on the small of his back, keeping him close, safe. “Y’gonna fall asleep, baby?” Eddie asks, and he hums in confirmation, smiling when Eddie presses a feather-light kiss to his forehead. “M’kay. Sleep well. I’ll keep the nightmares away.”

“You always do,” Steve agrees. “You make me feel safe.”

With that he falls asleep, missing the softest, “I’m so glad,” from Eddie.

He’s woken an indeterminable amount of time later by Eddie singing the same song. “There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza-” he cuts off when he feels Steve moving.

“A hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole,” Steve murmurs sleepily. He yawns and opens his eyes to Eddie’s absolutely besotted smile. “You can’t just not finish the song, Eds.”

Eddie grins. “Would you like to learn more?”

“I always want to hear you sing,” Steve tells him, settling more onto Eddie, who grins.

“So fix it, dear Henry…”

I have to be honest. As much as I love making fun of Bruce and Tim, I think that they’re more talented than fanon makes them out to be.

Like, the point of Batman as a character is that he’s unrealistic. It would be a very boring story if they made it realistic. Yeah, realistically, he’s not prepared for everything, but this isn’t realistic! This is a silly comic series about a man who has sent a box of live bats to another human being more than once!

I want that unrealism! I want Bruce to be able to get out impossible situations because he saw them coming! I want his convoluted, dumbass plans to work flawlessly! I want his plan to “fail” only for him to wink at the camera, revealing that failing was also in the plan!!

Batman is such a comforting character! I’m always “How’s he gonna get outta this one” instead of “Can he get outta this one” and it’s very nice!

He’s lame, he’s cringe, he’s the worst, he’s the dumbest man alive, but Bruce Wayne is never surprised and that brings me a great amount of comfort and joy.

Tim is the same way. I don’t want to think about a realistic fifteen-year-old being Robin, I want to think about the unrealistic ability Tim has to be completely unnoticed even by those with super-hearing. I want Tim to inexplicably think of every possibility and have a million contingencies, and while Tim does get surprised, he’s the most adaptable person on the planet, he can remake his plan in milliseconds!

I don’t want to think about Tim or Bruce failing or whatever. I want Tim and Bruce to inexplicably be all-knowing. Batman has managed to beat up Superman more than once, Robin xan inexplicably punch like a bullet through fucking water, and they both are billionaires with souls, do you really think I’m reading these comics for realism?

hello i just finished jedi survivor and i am in pain. this post contains spoilers do not read if you haven’t finished the game <3

here’s a penny for my thoughts that no one asked for.

is anyone else thinking that cal has turned to the dark side by the end of the plot? bc boy i sure am and it hurts to think abt 😩

i just - agjshsheje. something about the fact that he doesn’t turn to face cere’s force ghost when she visits him. like we know force ghosts aren’t invisible, probably mostly shown to those who weld the force and those they were close to. AND THE FACT THAT HE SPENT AN ENTIRE NIGHT JUST WATCHING THE BURNING? that cannot have a good effect on anyone lmfao. i don’t know why but something about cere’s apparition at the end just gives me bad vibes, as in i’m kinda thinking it wasn’t really her. i’m feeling it was the dark side of cal imagining her there. i think i thought that probably because of the weird fucked up warped sound they used when she appeared. and also how cal’s so determined to kill bode… like he didn’t seem to care that kata was in the room with them after some point. also cal’s meditation spots being dark and scary when you went into skills. MAYBEEE i’m looking too deep into it but like. what if.

ok update i finally got past the end credits WHAT IS THAT MUSIC AT THE END OF THE END SCENE??? IT DOES NOT!!! GIVE ME GOOD VIBES WTH. WE ALL KNOW MUSIC IS HELLA SIGNIFICANT IN STAR WARS. I -

anyway. i think that if cal hadn’t really turned by then, he was on the way or kind of in a mace windu spot with the force if you know what i mean. like working towards balance but struggling with… balancing it. LMAO my brain is braining i need to figure this out 😩 now i want a third game dammit. dark side cal would be devastating to play through but. give me the angst

also listen ik he was a “bad guy” and we’re supposed to not like him but i’m SO SAD over bode. i don’t know if i ended up liking bode sm bc he shares a va with charles smith (rdr2) but I MISS HIM (before his villain arc reveal ofc) </3 also kata makes me sad too. she lost both of her parents and has to spend however much time with the man who killed her father. can’t imagine that’s the best way for a little girl to grow up. kinda hoping that in the third game (if there is one) we play partly in cal’s perspective and partly in kata’s. i just want to know how they would work together. give me the tea, give me the drama. i’m here for it.

not really i can’t handle any more pain but you get what i mean

So to all my Ethel Cain fans out there, did anyone miss hear the lyrics in Thoroughfare?

For a hot minute I heard it as “Hey, do you wanna see the worst with me?”

I know now it’s west and not worst, but something felt particularly poetic about seeing the worst and still searching for “love out there”.

I love it regardless, it’s my favorite song on the album I think. But just a random thought I felt like screaming into the ether.

Do you ever daydream so hard that your real face physically reacts to something happening in your day dream?

[babyjakes]

do you guys actually read your textbooks for your college courses or do you just read the chapter summaries like me 🥲

when fanfic writers that i totally love and admire interact with me and i have to keep calm like i haven’t formed a parasocial relationship with them

Does anyone else get super wrapped up in who you want to be the caretaker and who you want to be the whumpee while you’re reading a book?

I’m reading a book called Shattered Sea, and it has some great h/c. One of the characters just got shot while being snowed in at a remote cabin without cell service. Like, that’s the dream situation. Except it’s the character I chose as the CARETAKER who was shot and my whumpee who has to take care of them! And I’m like “what a wasteee”
