Ficlet idea, designer Eddie and model Steve
OH NO OMFG this prompt was from a year and a half ago (September 2023) because i apparently wrote this whole thing and then accidentally lost it in my drafts😭😭😭 might as well post it now!
A New Muse
Eddie can’t say how he went from the Indiana trailer park to having his own collection at New York Fashion Week without explaining that things like that don’t usually happen to people like him.
Maybe it was the luck of being born an alpha. Or maybe it was just stupid fate.
Who knows? Certainly not him.
And although he’s been used to the lifestyle of excess and glamor for a while now, sometimes the world he lives in now still manages to amaze him.
All it took was a lucky break and his work being seen by the right people. Then he’d been whisked away to riches and fame, his name becoming known by every young adult in a matter of months.
Suffice to say that by this point, Eddie wasn’t overly surprised when he was asked to do a feature piece in a big time magazine. The editor had specifically requested for him to design a few grunge menswear outfits to be modeled alongside the article about his rise to success.
Eddie spent weeks grueling over his designs, making sure all his pieces were representative of the kind of work he does, but it was a struggle to create something that he was proud of and that would explain his vision of fashion.
The interview itself was simple enough, just a handful of questions by someone who already knew far too much about his life. They skirted around his less than pretty past and played up the rags to riches aspect that everyone loved to oversell when it comes to alphas.
And then came the photoshoot.
Eddie had been given measurements of an up-and-coming model who would be showcasing all of the designs. Supposedly, the guy was fine modeling both masculine and feminine clothing, so Eddie was able to keep his sizing consistent across the board.
The only mistake was that he was never given a photo of the model. Or told that he was an omega.
He had no clue that the model would be the most stunning man he’s ever seen.
“Hi, I’m Stevie,” the angle introduced himself with a dimpled smile and wide eyes. His scent dripping with sugary sweetness. “It’s nice to meet you.”
Eddie almost forgets to shake his hand, too enamored with the beautiful omega being presented to him on a platter. He recovers enough to slip his hand into the waiting one.
“I’m an alpha.”
That’s definitely not what he meant to say.
Steve chuckles, a soft charming little thing.
“Good to know. Do you have a name, alpha?”
Eddie’s tongue feels too big for his mouth. He might be drooling. He’s definitely lightheaded.
The omega called him alpha. He could be his alpha.
“Um, I’m so sorry! Eddie! It’s Eddie!” he spits out in a rush, attempting to recover from his temporary lapse in sanity.
Another angelic noise of amusement.
“You’re sweet, Eddie,” Steve tells him, sounding slightly forlorn about it. “But I can’t date a coworker.”
Eddie can practically feel his ears pin back against his head in disappointment like a kicked puppy.
“Oh. Right, yeah, no that makes sense. Smart idea. Gotta be careful when you’re a professional.” His voice is thin and unconvincing.
Being rejected by a perfect angel hurts more than he thought it would.
Steve’s perfectly plump lips turn upward slowly.
“But if you find me after the shoot when we’re not coworkers anymore, you can buy me coffee. That is… if you let go of my hand so I can do my job first.”
Jesus Christ.
Eddie had never let go of his hand.
He loosens his grip long enough for Steve to make it through the shoot and then he vows to never let go again.
They’re mated a year later, right before Steve changes his modeling demographic to maternity photoshoots instead.
And Eddie finds his lifelong muse.

probably applying to a community college in the next couple months to do some science prereqs
#(regardless of what the transfer admin for my ideal school says i need the prereqs and there's no sense paying $500-$600/credit hr)#my plan is. if he thinks my credits will count for the LE's (gen eds have new name now??) i'll ask for advice on like#which community college/public colleges offer the gen eds for me to transfer in with my app#/should i start an AAS in rad tech first and transfer in#and then i'll sign up for gen admission at one of the community colleges get my prereqs complete and/or get the associates degree#get my references and some patient experience (and see if i have any feasible aptitude for it ofc)#do at LEAST 4 hrs of job shadowing and maybe see about getting dosimetry shadowing as well#THEN........ apply for BS radiography programs n see what happens#I have a 3.5 from my prev degree and most of my super basic placements done from that#if i end up getting all A's-B+'s in my community college/transfer placement courses I'll come in with at least a 3.7 (4.0 if possible)#all these programs are so crazy competitive 😅 so i'm gonna have to do a lot more to get in just to get to the interview stage#and then i gotta do well on the interview#but a lot of the colleges are points based so I need to meet the minimum points to get there anyways#and once i get to interview i gotta hope they like me and my passion gets me through#everyone wants to be a rad tech#not everyone wants to be a rad tech + rad therapy + dosimetrist!!!#I'd really love to be able to get my masters in dosimetry but it depends on a lot of factors#good thing im autistic and i love absorbing info like a sponge...#personal stuff#i did email the transfer admin back!#so we will see how it all shakes out#the 5-6 years will pass anyways yknow?#i wanna have a path i feel happy or content with when i'm 35. i wanna have a career i feel proud of and don't dread going to work for.#also a career that lets me leave this damn country 😅 ffs...

okay but seriously all jokes aside I really do understand ivan. like having a schedule so packed and busy is so insanely draining no matter how long you've conditioned yourself to endure it. sacrificing certain things like lunch or sleep just to gain the slightest bit more time for yourself is something that feels almost essential to keeping yourself together and not feeling like you're losing yourself in the cycle completely. it's like its own little act of rebellion in a way, something along the lines of you can drown me in work and monotony but I'll keep carving these little spaces of time for what little I have for myself, even if I have to carve them out of my own chest. I will sacrifice parts of myself to ensure that I don't fully succumb to whatever you're trying to make me into. I am human, this is the proof, I will make time even if it ruins me. you know?? yeah. you get it

Is this a safe space?
I've never liked the contacts they use for IWTV, I basically got beef with them for covering up everyone's beautiful natural eye color :(

feeling bad about my art lately. will probably not post for a while. but i wanted to at least dump some stuff here before i retreat into my hidey hole
#hivemind tv#hmfcu#riley savage#graydon weaver#quadeca#jane remover#eden burke#my art#2023#fanart#doodles#furry#its like. augh. longtime fleouriarts followers are familiar with my eternal tango with posting art online#doing this since i was 11 has like rotted my brain and made me rely wayyyy too much on external validation to motivate myself#and every year or so it gets bad enough that i take a break. but the break usually only lasts a month before i miss the feeling#and come back and then the cycle repeats#its probably worse now bc this is a fandom where getting seen by the creators is not really that hard#so there have been times where im like 'well idk if i wanna draw this. but if i do maybe hivemind will rt it :-)'#NO!!! THATS NOT WHAT ART IS ABOUT!!!!! i cant keep letting myself get addicted to the numbers going up man i gotta get out of here#and i was reading a quad interview from around when idmthy got released. cus hes also brain poisoned like this. but he managed to get out#and now just kinda comes online to release music and then leave#i need to be like that. i need to take a break from art posting thats so long that i come back as a changed man odysseus style#idk. its been so long since i drew stuff that no one gets to see but me. all the art i keep to myself is just out of embarrassment#i need to relearn how to draw stuff just for the love of creation and not “maybe people online will like this one”#or “this new thing came out i need to prove my love of it by drawing it”#sometimes it leads to good art but more often than not it just makes me feel worse#whatever. if any of yall are in the hivemind jane or quadeca discord i MIGHT still post stuff there. but otherwise ill keep to myself and m#friends for a while i think#woooooo this is queued to post while im in orgo lab everyone wish me luck with my thin layer chromatography

#bleh. i need half the country to pls stop being on fire. id like to go out and run pls. but its so smokey i can barely see the mountain#i live near :-/ also im just tired and frustrated. its incredible how quickly i vasilate between#things r going well. i should stay in my program and work with cyanos forever. to no no no im not cut out for this. i gotta leave. to yay#let me throw myself head first into consuming every second of my life with working. but only on the things that dont require me to think#which is y im not cut out for this and should be bannished to a world of only doing lab work and following instructions#also i have an screening interview monday for an R0DBT group. so i might b going to control freak classes#assuming i cant convince the lady that im not fit for thr class. which obviously i am bc im my therapist listed the ppl who r#usually put into r0dbt and i was like hm im a lot of those things. but also its 2hrs every week and thats a lot of time. and i feel like im#already on the path away from violently structuring my life specifically bc ive done so much damage#ugh. also i have ridiculously high self standards but i only do anything halfway bc i cant fail if i never try 100%.#so im like a fake control freak. or rather i cant even fully commit to being controlling. im lazy and i dont have the drive.#which almost makes it worse bc im stading at this threshold of control where it destroys me but never actually succeeds in being a perfect#thing. which is def a distorted way to think about it but there u go. ugh. im just tired and my arm hurts too much to draw bc#im older and older everyday. and i dont wanna read papers. i dont wanna grade or work on my presentation. i didn't want to spend 3.5 hrs#doing transfers this morning. and my mom's been dead for 6months and 3 days now. and i still dont kno where ill be a year from now#unrelated
