#anyway this was fun thanks for making the great chart for me to look at

[lavmana]

So because I love tables I made some tables! I'll link the full thing at the end but here's the (semi-readable) table of ships! (I did have to guess some of the names)

(I apologise for how small it is this is the best I can do in this case)

However probably more interesting is looking at the numbers between various relationship types! So going in order we have the Exes:

With an average of 2.111 repeating, Twilight and Trixie are doing some HEAVY lifting here. Without them the average would be 1.75 so congratulations to them for being the most... something. Regardless it's also quite funny to me that the main difference between a '3' ex and a '1' ex is basically if it is het or not. (This is not a judgement, I'd do the exact same). The main exception being Trixie and Rarity who are the only 2 here which I think puts them firmly in the "not my thing but I support it" category.

Otherwise this mostly makes sense! You'd either put exes down as "canon relationships that I do NOT want" or "They'd totally be a fling but regret it" which only really lends itself to the lower side of numbers!

Also lol fluttercord L + ratio + Tree Hugger wins + the 0 stands for 0 bitches. I swear I'm a nice person in real life please don't take this seriously.

Okay next Queer Platonic relationships or QPs as I'm calling them cause it sounds like "cuties":

Welcome to the realm of averages. To address the exceptions I need to admit I have no idea what the... tissue(?) cutie mark is that's attached to cheese sandwich, so I'll just hope it's an OC that I don't know and support it! Otherwise Trixie and Sunburst get a 1 I assume because they had to be connected to complete the platonic square going on between Trixie, Starlight, Sunburst, and Thorax(?). On that note the main QPs occur between the mane 6 (especially Pinkie Pie my platonic queen), and that square. This is also Bubbles main spot so take a moment to appreciate her then keep reading.

With an average of 2.231 this does make sense given most of what makes up these links are filling in polycules which are supported but not a main ship.

Next the era of Romance:

"Gee Twilight how come you get 6 girlfriends, 3 exes, 2 QPs, and a wife?" Respect to my girl for pursuing ONLY romantic relationships with her besties. However the real star is secretly Rainbow Dash who has no links going below 3 (within the mane 6) awarding her the prize of most shippable pony! Congrats Rainbow! Twilight does still win the most links with 12.

This is by far the most popular category for a link to fall into. The Mane 6 really do shine here with Twilight Rarity and RD all having plenty of spots here. We also enter the higher numbers with hilariously the only 5s being Mordecai and Rigby (good for her) and AJ and rarity which is a real range.

There's probably too much here to comment on anything properly but definitely the most fun to look through, especially with all the 4s.

And now... mawiage!

omg did I actually write person instead of pony? I cannot believe myself right now, this is my greatest shame.

Anyway with an average of 4 (4.375 without Mudbriar) we have achieved our highest rated category! Of course this makes sense, if you think two ponies have high enough chemistry to be married, you probably also think they have good shipping potential you enjoy. This gives us most of the 5s and RD getting TWO wives.

Maud Pie really brings things down here with her husband, apologies to my ace king but you have been voted off the island. In the mean time we can basically spot the top tier ships in here with Twipie, appledash, flutterdash, and trixie x starlight! So if you wanna get on Zigo's (I'm assuming this is your legal name) good side depict these ships!

Weird Al is also in here. He got a 3 so good for him.

As for my own thoughts I actually am a big fan of this chart! Beyond like a few numbers slightly up or down 1 rank I basically agree with it! It's cool to see where the differences lie but I've talked way too much to keep yapping so bye!

And that mostly summarizes some thoughts from this graph! I very much enjoyed making these tables so if anyone ever makes something like this again I will keep putting them into LibreOffice and comparing the data I find! You can see the full tables here:

It's a .ods file because that's what libreoffice uses.

headcanon relationship chart for the mane 6. for some undefined amount of time after the show

i am not trying to lend undue legitimacy to the institution of marriage. or devalue queer platonic relationships. these are just different types of relationships. obviously.

TREASURE PLANET (2002) PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the disney film, adjust as necessary

you're gonna rattle the stars.

now you listen to me, [name]. you got the makings of greatness in you, but you got to take the helm and chart your own course.

look at you, glowing like a solar fire.

you're something special, [name].

let me make this as... monosyllabic as possible.

how did i describe them?

i said something rather good this morning before coffee.

there you go. poetry.

i'm an astronomer, not a doctor!

i am a doctor, but i'm not that kind of doctor. i have a doctorate. it's not the same thing. you can't help people with a doctorate.

you just sit there and you're useless.

i won't bore you with my scars.

oh shut up. you know i don't mean a word of it.

i'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes.

you have wonderful eyes.

yes, you. i have a question.

is it that your body is too massive for your teeny-tiny head, or is it that your head is too teeny-tiny for your big fat body?

i have one more question.

is this yours?

well, this has been a fun day.

without the map, we're dead.

if we try to leave, we're dead.

what a joke.

at least you taught me something.

that's just what i'm gonna do.

you still don't know how to pick your fights.

are you saying this because it's the right thing, or because you really want to go?

playing games, are we?

thanks for the lift, guys.

don't mention it.

this is the answer to all our problems!

don't you remember? all those stories?

would you please explain how ridiculous this is?

it's totally preposterous! traversing the galaxy alone!

now at last we hear some sense.

you flatter me, [name].

i feel like such a useless weakling.

stay out of trouble!

that was more fun than i ever want to have again.

so... uh. how'd that happen anyway?

i've got two new friends i'd like you to meet.

are your parents around?

i've got some plans to make people see me a little different.

sometimes plans go astray.

you take care now.

this should be a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to get to know one another.

with the greatest possible respect, zip your howling screamer.

we're about to get under way!

i'll follow you.

you know the rules.

maybe your ears don't work so well.

i just don't want to see you throw away your entire future.

i don't know how you manage it.

did you actually aim for that?

what is all this stuff?

wait wait wait! what about the treasure?

i don't want to lose you.

i'll make you proud.

i'm sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be.

i say we kill them all now.

all my life, i've been waiting for an opportunity like this.

A prompt for you: Charlos, jealousy

Yesss jealousy trope of all TIME unironically my favourite scenario

Hope you enjoy this! Wrote it a bit on the fly because I’m sick in bed ignoring responsibilities

He’s not even gracious in victory. The usual post-win glow is absent, no movie star smile pulled back to reveal his perfect teeth. The nice way his eyes crinkle up, so you can believe in it, the whole idea, how lovely he is.

Charles, Carlos could say, give me a smile. You’re so beautiful, you’re so talented. You beat us all today. Why do you look so angry?

“Congratulations,” he actually says, keeps the jealousy out of his voice although only the stupidest idiot could imagine it not to exist. “That was a great drive, mate.”

“Thank you. You too, you have done well.”

Oh?

“You were very happy, no? I saw you celebrate it with Alex.”

God. Like being told, no come on, you did a good job too, upset with himself as a child about second place. And he was, no, he is happy. They managed P4 and P5, a ridiculous result, practically a win, leagues ahead of where he thought he’d be this year. James nearly cried, hugged Carlos close and said I can’t believe it and then shook his head, taking it back, insisting that he knew they would succeed.

So he is happy, even though here Charles is, sodden with champagne, the actual winner of everything.

Maybe he’d seen when they’d gotten out of their cars and Carlos, without thinking about it, had pulled Alex in, squeezed him, thumping him on the back, trying to impart some of what he was feeling into his teammate. Alex swayed pleasingly when Carlos thwacked him, giggling, whole face scrunched up in delighted amusement the way it does.

Carlos likes him, the way he laughs so easily, gets stuck on his words and then enjoys it when Carlos leads them back into the path charted out for them by the cue cards.

And then a photo with the team, their names in big letters, Carlos and Alex, P4 and P5, all the mechanics with their fists raised in the air, cheering in victory although really there was no victory. But Carlos is happy, isn’t going to lose the feeling.

And now Charles, red and obvious against all the Williams blue.

Alex hasn’t left, has just stepped into his own garage instead of outside where everyone is milling around, where Carlos had been gathering himself.

“Yes, a good result for me and Alex, for the team. We are happy.”

Interview mode. Charles won’t notice, anyway.

“You and Alex work together well.”

“Do you want me to go and get him? I think he is not busy.”

Charles has got his podium cap in his hand. He always makes these things into a huge show, much bigger than anyone else, every time, curtsying and waving and simpering at the crowd like an actress being given a present.

“No, I - no. I am going. I wanted to invite you, to come tonight.”

Sitting at Charles’s table, partying for Charles’s win. He doesn’t have to, anymore, no one could ever expect him to. The galling thing, the disgusting little twist, is that he wants to. Would be happy there, in the circle. Carlos can see himself, sitting next to him, close close close, the nearness of Charles’s face, the thickness of his eyelashes, the smell of his cologne, how fun he is when he’s in a good mood. How Carlos could drape an arm across his shoulders, let it fall heavy on the hard muscle there.

“Sorry, we are flying this evening. And I think there will be dinner with the team, first.”

James’s obvious delight to look forward to. Carlos and Alex are turning the team around.

“You are flying together?”

He must’ve had too much champagne on the podium. Or the rocky battle with Max in lap fifty has scrambled his brain. He’s seriously not acting right for someone who should be floating, shouldn’t even be listening to what Carlos is saying.

“Yes. Are you ok, Charles?”

“Charlie! Come to show us what a real winner looks like, I assume,” Alex is here again, with a reassuringly cheerful grin. He comes up to stand by Carlos, unworrying in his personal space.

Finally, the pretty laugh, for Alex, the glance down and then back up. Does he know he does it?

“I will see you later, mate,” he announces, claps hands with Alex, turns to leave, makes sure to remind Charles he is the best, to see if that will lift his inexplicable mood, “enjoy your party, eh, Charles, don’t go too crazy!”

girl i have so many domestic bucky thoughts (from that one post for ideas) — he mixes decaf with caffeinated coffee because coffee is a habit but birdie’s caffeine levels are off the charts

— he randomly comes over to cook and learns after the third time to make enough for leftovers because The Loft (caleb, kels, birdie; as i’ve been referring to them) eat things like wine cereal and takeout most nights

— bucky, despite being grumpy, actually really enjoys hanging out with kelsey and caleb outside of work and it makes birdie’s heart soar like. omg he likes my friends??? max never even cared wtf???

— sarah invites birdie to any event that buck is invited to and initially she’s hesitant but sarah will steal her away for girl timeTm, and bucky just watches on with that lovey look in his eye like "have fun baby!"

— bucky in that black tee from tfatws except instead of pouring a drink at zemo’s safehouse (?) he’s cooking breakfast and pouring coffee (🥰)

— doesn’t kill spiders, just lets them out of the nearest window

girl domestic bucky is everything to me don’t even get me started

OMG OMG HONEEEEY! 😱🥰 This is awesome, you are awesome! 🥰

And I'm so inspired for domestic!Bucky, thank you! 🩷

he mixes decaf with caffeinated coffee because coffee is a habit but birdie’s caffeine levels are off the charts

Asdfghjkl and Birdie would be like,

"This tastes different."

"What? No it doesn't."

"Yes it does. This is decaf."

"You can't taste caffeine, that's not a thing."

"What, you think you're the only one with like superhuman stuff?"

"...You saw the package?"

"Yeah I saw the package."

The loft omggg that's so cuteeee! 🩷

Can you imagine Bucky hearing about the wine cereal?! He would be like,

"How do you guys even survive?"

"In my defense, Caleb came up with it and I was in the mood to get drunk."

"And Kels?"

"Peer pressure. It's a thing, Bucky."

"Can you guys tell me what you ate last night?"

"Coffee beans and chocolate."

"Caleb?"

"Uh...cereal with milk this time."

"Kels?"

"Gummy bears and wine."

Aww Bucky hanging out with Kels and Caleb! It would be so sweet, because like, when he showed up for movie night, Caleb would be like

"Oh my God, you got me vanilla coke!?"

"Yeah vanilla coke for you, cherry coke for Kels."

"What?!"

"Wait, you brought me cherry coke?"

"That's what you like, right? I got you your usual one too sweetheart."

"Have I told you how amazing you are?"

"Over beverages? No you haven't."

"You are, and I love you."

sarah invites birdie to any event that buck is invited to and initially she’s hesitant but sarah will steal her away for girl timeTm, and bucky just watches on with that lovey look in his eye like "have fun baby!" That is so cuteeee, he would be so soft! 🩷 And Sarah and Birdie will be having so much fun and like, gossiping and when Bucky approaches them to let Birdie know about like, him and Sam going to the boat with the rest of Sam's friends, he will be like,

"Sweetheart?"

"Bucky, wait a moment, this is a very important conversation. Sarah?"

"Hi Buck. Anyway, guess what he did?"

"Birdie, we're gonna-"

"Shh! Then what, Sarah?"

"He apparently cheated on her-"

"No!"

"Oh yes. And that's how she figured it out!"

"Oh my God! No, you know why that is? He's a Gemini, Kelsey says you can't trust Gemini men."

"Wait, wasn't that Virgo?"

"Uh, me and Sam are going to the boat with others."

"Great, be careful. No, it's Gemini, Kels says Gemini."

the black tee aaaaaaa! 🥰 Caleb and Kelsey would go to sit next to Birdie and go like,

"He is very hot."

"I can hear you, Caleb."

"Good."

"And he's cooking us breakfast!"

"Okay, I would like to point out once again that I was cooking my girlfriend breakfast. You two just showed up."

"Bucky!"

"Just saying."

"Oh please, you love us. We're like your trial phase for having kids or something."

doesn’t kill spiders, just lets them out of the nearest window ADFGHJKL I think one day he stepped into their place while they were all like freaking out and went like,

"What? What's going on?"

"Spider!"

"....You guys are screaming because of a spider?"

"Look at him!"

"Don't look at him, he's gonna memorize our faces."

"That's crows, Caleb!"

"You do realize you outnumber the tiny spider there, right?"

"I watched a documentary the other day, and it was talking about a venomous spider, this one looks like it."

"It's a normal spider, Birdie."

"You never know."

"Okay, I'm just gonna put it outside."

"Be careful!"

"The spider is not gonna do anything to me, sweetheart."

i would ABSOLUTELY read your tell-all memoir. i love music and feminism but GOD. the industry. i’d kind of pieced together most of that information about male dominance, but it really really seems inescapable nowadays in the bigger leagues. anyway as an aspiring (hobbyist?) singer-songwriter i would luv to hear any other stories or lessons you have from your time in the industry. have a sweet day!

xoxox thank you! maybe I will write one lol. I know lots of dirt ;)

It does feel inescapable. Yeah. I think anyone who follows me will tell you I'm really not a doomer, but I climbed the music ladder for like 15 years, got to the top, and looked around only to realize that my dream of changing things from the inside was futile and maybe childish, and I was destroying myself in the process.

I actually just left my prestige gig supporting big festivals and international tours. It's peak tour season right now and I had to tap out. I just might be the first dumbass in history to climb back down the ladder lmao.

My "fuck, I have to get out of here" moment was when OnlyFans appeared in my inbox offering money. AKA 'we'll fund your tour if you make an account and start posting sexy pics'. I had already stopped fronting bands a long time ago because I didn't like the attention it brought. Sigh.

It wasn't all bad. I got to live and travel all over, LA to NYC to Europe and more, on the dime of huge corporations. I have an award for a hit song on my wall, a vacation home and years of fun memories with awesome people- but you know what...

I'm not... sure it was worth it?

I'm straight up addicted to weed and trying to quit. Most of my friends are addicted to worse. My fingers feel arthritic and my eyes are fucked. I was careful not to blow out my ears, but the lifestyle wreaked havoc on my body anyway. I've lived an unstable life, on the road or moving to chase the dream since I was a teen. I've mentioned my partner of 10 years on here before - he's a tour manager (we aren't 'committed' in part because of the lifestyle, we're literally never home!) - and he's still working the circuit. He's only 40 and the bands call him 'tour grandpa' 😭 lol. no one can do it forever. You gotta get in, make your cash, and get out. A hit song or an album that pulls a fanbase will set you up for life, but the question is how the fuck you get one. That's why people play The Game.

So... I want to tell aspiring ears to game the system, but I don't know if it's possible. I said in my post that none of us escape The Game and we don't. The only artists I know who are healthy and happy, with stability and/or some kind of family or support system... are not financially solvent from the music. They're great musicians, but they're local performers only, or indie artists. A lot of them work as label reps or audio engineers, luthiers, music teachers, stuff like that... or even keep totally different jobs. 9-5 stuff. One writes books. Another manages a grocery store but tours with his metal band in the summer. So maybe my best advice is to just... stay a hobbyist. Do it because you love it, not for a career.

Fuck pop. There's amazing shit happening in every other genre. Fuck the charts. Put out music you love and feel deeply about. Put music out without a label, collect your own royalties. It won't be as much as pop, but you can live on it.

We've never needed the music companies less.

A3! Usui Masumi - Translation [SSR] MANKAI Treasure (1/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

???: Here are flyers for a new play! Please come watch.  

Masumi: (That voice…)  

Izumi: This is the stage unit, Runaway Rocket Launcher! Go ahead and grab a flyer.  

Masumi: I’ll take 100 of them.  

Izumi: Great, one hu… 100!? Oh, it’s Masumi-kun… that gave me a shock… Sure thing. Here’s 1 flyer.  

Masumi: Thanks. …Is this for work?  

Izumi: No, no. An actor acquaintance of mine accidentally ordered double the number of flyers. It looked like they were in a bind, so I’m helping them hand them out.  

Masumi: In that case, let me also—.  

*walks over*

Banri: Director-chan, I’m all done over here. You still got more?  

Izumi: Thanks! There’s just one box left.  

Banri: On it~. Oh, if it ain’t Masumi. Sup?  

Masumi: …Give that to me.

*grabs*  

Banri: Woah. What the? Don’t just snatch the box.  

Masumi: I’ll hand them out too.  

Banri: …Knock yourself out. Geez. He’s puttin’ up a fight even over this kinda stuff?  

-pause-  

Izumi: Phew~. We managed to hand everything out. It’s all thanks to you two we finished so quickly. I appreciate it.  

Banri: You did a great job too, Director-chan. Anyways, this play actually sounds interestin’, doesn’t it?  

Izumi: I agree.  

Masumi: …“In this universe, the usual is what’s unusual”…  

Banri: Oh. Did it pique your interest too?  

Masumi: Not really. It’s just that in today’s seminar, we were told to be aware of the catchphrases that are around us all the time.  

Izumi: Right, that reminds me you went to a seminar on promotions today.  

Masumi: It was for beginners, so they only went over the fundamentals. But it was a good review and the instructor's perspective was pretty interesting. Also, we were told we should try coming up with our own catchphrases as practice…  

Izumi: Ooh, that sounds fun!  

Masumi: I tried to come up with one on the train home, but nothing good came to mind. I could come up with one for you no problem though.  

Izumi: Huh? Really?  

Masumi: The world’s absolute cutest and—.  

Izumi: Let me stop you right there! That first part was already plenty for me. Thanks.  

Masumi: …Okay. Now you come up with one for me.  

Izumi: Huh? A catchphrase for Masumi-kun… Let me think… …Sorry, this is hard. Can I have a bit more time?  

Masumi: —. Sure. I’ll be in your thoughts the whole time you’re thinking about my catchphrase… this is heaven.  

Banri: Dude. You’ve been treatin’ me like I’m completely invisible since the middle of the conversation. He sure only has eyes for Director-chan like usual.

-pause-  

Izumi: I’m home.  

Masumi: We’re back…  

Tsuzuru: W-Welcome home…  

Taichi: Does anyone else see hella hearts flying around Masumi-kun!? His happy aura is off the charts!  

Citron: Oh, did something happen?  

Taichi: Is it ‘cause he got to come home with Director-sensei!?  

Banri: I’m back.  

Taichi: Oh, Ban-chan was with them? …So that’s probably not it…  

Banri: So y’see, Masumi was told to try comin’ up with his own catchphrase at the seminar he went to today. Now he’s all excited since he also asked Director-chan to try comin’ up with one for him.  

Tsuzuru: That makes sense…  

Citron: I decree!  

Taichi: I agree!  

Tsuzuru: But that’s a problem for Masumi, isn’t it? It’s fine to ask Director, but make sure you come up with one yourself as well.  

Masumi: …“A playwright slash busybody. Today, he’ll continue to meddle like this”.  

Tsuzuru: Is that my catchphrase!?  

Banri: Hah, nice one. It’s spot on.  

Citron: Our Masumi is a genius after all~! As his mother, I am shroud!  

Masumi: Proud.  

Banri: I bet we could use these catchphrases on our theatre merch too. Wouldn’tcha say?  

Izumi: Yeah. Like on our birthday… Ah, right! Masumi-kun’s catchphrase is important and all, but it’s about time that for that.  

Masumi: That?  

Taichi: The birthday treasure hunt!  

Citron: You get hints on your birthday, and then you go searching for the person who prepared that present for you. It’s a very eggciting project~.  

Masumi: …Oh yeah. We were doing that.  

Banri: So you really did forget, huh? Y’know, if you’re gonna come up with your own catchphrase, then it wouldn't hurt to have more interest in yourself.  

Masumi: …You might be right.  

Izumi: But hey, you might get some good hints about that during your treasure hunt.  

Masumi: True.  

Taichi: Hehe. I wonder how Masumi-kun’s treasure hunt is gonna turn out. I can’t wait!  

-pause-  

Izumi: Alright. Here’s the note with your first clue for your treasure hunt.

*starts recording*  

Masumi: Thanks. “This is the day my life changes forever.”  

Izumi: Is that… some sort of line? Or maybe a quiz?  

Masumi: …It’s a catchphrase. It’s probably from that guy.

Insane scouting podcast segment

Hello do you guys wanna hear/read something crazy. I listen to a lot of scouting material and most of the listening I do serves as light background noise while I do chores/commute/make art etc and the information retention is VERY suspect. But occasionally I hear something SO fun and silly. Please behold my transcript of thee strangest exchange I’ve come across so far between several public amateur scouts on their Scouching podcast/livesteam about their special boy Ivan Fomin.

Here is the video, I encourage you to watch if you have time just to really absorb the absolute comedy of it. timestamp is 1:04:46 - 1:08:40. Small content warning for injury talk, they get a bit flippant about a pretty serious sounding hit.

START Transcript:

Tony Ferrari: And shout out to Ivan Fomin, because I know you were watching him. What a guy! What a guy!! I — he is SO fun to watch. Zero percent chance he makes it, and if he does oh boy I’m gonna be so happy.

Will Scouch: I’m pretending you didn’t just say that. I don’t care. I do not, I do not care. I — I wanna meet him, I wanna hang out with him. I wanna ask him about where the hell he came from, and, like, where — what happened there, and wh — (laughing) does his doctor have bone growth charts on him or something that indicates he’s gonna be more than 5’6, 120lbs, because holy smokes. Oh my god. Wanna talk rockstar level, y’know, swagger? and, and… Y’know, I’m trying to… Like, Nick Robertson on drugs, like, y’know. Insane.

F: You know the movie Cocaine Bear? This is Cocaine Nick Robertson.

S: Right, like Cocaine Gazelle.

F: Yeah

S: Like, smaller animal, not as ferocious, clearly, y’know. I mean what’s a very weak animal? Like a goat?? That’s fast?

F: Cocaine Rabbit?

S: Cocaine Rabbit, there we go. We’re talking Cocaine Rabbit there, right. Still gonna get eaten by a coyote, but bunnies are cute and one on cocaine would be really fun. Anyway.

F: Yeah.

AJ: That was a crazy aside.

S: That was pretty crazy, but hey open table for Tony to be Tony Ferrari, man, and that’s what we love, y’know, that’s what we’re here for!

F: I think you, Dylan, and I were talking about Ivan Fomin a little bit today and I posted the Rocky meme “If he dies, he dies” and that’s just kinda how you have to take him, because BOY is he fun to watch.

S: The last game I watched of him, he was playing the — St. Petersburg’s best team, uh… And again, his team is from Vladivostok, and they have nobody. So he’s the guy there. At the end of the game he died.

AJ: [It was] a brutal trip.

S: Yeah. That’s a brutal trip, yeah. It was in Vladivostok, too, so the team from St. Petersburg had to get on a plane and go all the way to Vladivostok and play a game.

[they talk about the flight and attempt to look it up]

S: But anyway, it’s a long trip is what I’m saying. And [Fomin] played great most of the game, and then on his last shift, which makes sense because he got hurt, he just got taken into the boards, fell head-first, and he was done. I don’t think he’s played since.

So, he might die, but I’m gonna hold on to the roller coaster until the wooden — I’m gonna hold on to the wooden roller coaster until the frame snaps. That’s what I’m gonna do, ‘cause he’s so much fun. There’s, there’s so — there’s way less joy watching players this year than usual for me that when there is joy I’ll latch on to it and whatever happens, happens. Because god when that kid is goin’, and when he is huntin’ guys down.. like, AJ I swear to god, I don’t think there’s a better embodiment of an ‘AJ player’ out there than Ivan Fomin, because holy smokes that kid rocks.

AJ: I appreciate you using the correct term, an AJ player, so thank you.

S: Yes, yes. I’m sure he’s a great example of such a thing.

END Transcript.

If you want a reference point for how this kid plays, I’ve managed to dig up this shift video. He does seem to go as crazy as they’re saying LMAO!! And I do hope he’s okay. Keeping an interested eye on where he lands… everyone’s gotta have their obscure faves right? <3

[dunmeshistash]

G'day, I hope you're doing well on this fine Saturday!

A while ago, I began writing and sketching a Dungeon Meshi OC by basing him/her (haven't decided, though I might take the liberty of making it a guy) on my own characteristics, continent of residence and my play style in games like D&D to see what race, country and occupation would best fit that description in the world of good ol' Dungeons & Diners. In all honesty, the parallels I drew are somewhat superficial, so I could technically bullshit my way into being one of many things, but it's been a very fun way to kind of craft an OC that I think fits me the most regardless.

BUT, I have run into an epiphany! I need a hero, a guiding light, an archiver of Dungeon Meshi trivia! I need someone to save me! Super Meshi, will you answer my call for help?!

You see, I settled on making my OC an elf as I drew the most parallels with them on all fields and so far my characteristics are translating over quite well, but the problem lies in the fact that I'm above average in terms of tallness, but I don't really know how much I'd need to shorten this feller to make him pass as a right proper elf, y'know? I have dark hair too, I suppose, but you already answered a question regarding that a while ago. However, I can't find anything here on tallness other than a chart for every story character's height and that Mithrun's teammates are all taller than average, which... well, almost answers my question! Almost.

I guess I could just wing it, but with how much thought I already put into this character, I felt it was a good idea to ask you this; how tall can the average elf reasonably be based on all the information we have? Is it at all possible for them to reach or exceed tall-man heights or would that be far too unusual? Lycion is roughly 170cm, but I can't remember if any elf is taller than that, and while I've perused a great many ancient scriptures in search of precious knowledge, I believe you might be the hero I need to solve this relatively minor conundrum that may not even have a clear answer! I think the question might be a bit silly, but I hope you'll indulge me regardless. You'd have my infinite gratitude! I uh, I prolly coulda and shoulda condensed this ask into a single sentence. Pleasedon'tkillmethanks-

TL;DR: How tall can elves reasonably be based on what we know?

Oh, while I'm at it—and I say this every time I'm here and will continue to do so 'til the cows come home—your blog is a blessing. A wonderful, nice-looking, tidy blessing. The fact you're maintaining all of this is a boon to all of us. Thank you so much for keeping this up! I hope you have a delightful weekend!

Hello! That's really cool! I thought about making a Dungeon Meshi oc based on myself too before (a dunmeshisona?) but then I didn't lmao. Making characters is hard

Anyway I think "how tall can an elf be" is pretty subjective cause even irl humans vary a lot. I think one way to guess would be to do what people tend to do with their ages and compare the average proportions??

Average Male elf is 155 and Average Female Elf is 150 Average Male Tallman is 180 and average Female Tallman is 170

I did some doubtful math and came up with *0,86 for male and *0,88 for female (that's for tallmen height to elf height, if you want to calculate from elf to tallman it would be *1,16 for male and *1,13 for female, both of them you can round up the result)

I don't think that's very correct tho cause using that math on the tallest elves, Lycion who is 170cm and Cithis who is 165cm, it puts him at 197cm and Cithis at 186cm as tallmen that doesn't sound right but maybe it is. (Edit: I got flamela's height wrong she's 140cm I was still asleep I guess, changing it to cithis who IS 165cm I double checked)

It probably doesn't really work cause tallmen average in dungeon meshi is WAY taller than irl human average (google tells me the global average is 171 for men, and the average where I live is even shorter than that) and also cause the height difference between male and female elves is really small, which fits with how androgynous they are in general, there's not much difference between male and females so as a tallmen might be way taller than you'd expect for a woman but for elves Cithis and Lycion being so tall is probably about the same amount of striking.

I ended up rambling but this might help somehow? or just make you even more confused. Anyway I wouldn't worry too much about how tall to make your elf, if I were to make one I'd just make it like a bit taller than average cause that's what I am irl. I'm really bad at explaining math but if you need me to I can try (I tried and ended up making the post double the size and I don't think it made any sense LMAO)

And thanks! I love reading your comments it's very encouraging!

I was looking on Reddit, and someone said they were sceptical about Harry's potential commercial success with his next album. They said public interest may have declined during his three-year hiatus. They suggested that his next release may perform more like Fine Line than the more successful Harry's House (even though Fine Line wasn't exactly far behind Harry’s House in terms of commercial success, and it had insane longevity). They said that only dedicated fans seem to be discussing him lately. Then someone replied, saying he would be fine because 20 million people viewed that picture of his legs, and 100,000 people felt the need to comment on it.

that's a very interesting topic actually to me bc i'm really interested in how people engage with music. i feel like music is often viewed less as an art and more as a product for consumption nowadays. capitalism has really shifted the way we engage with it. It's not just about the music anymore and the connection someone creates with it, it’s about how it fits into an endless cycle of trends, and viral moments. people often are more interested in tweeting about an album or use a song in a tiktok video or start a discussion around the lyrics of a song so they could have a pick in the artist's life rather than really connect with the art. that shift really can make it seem like commercial success is only about these fleeting viral moments or charts, but it forgets the deeper connection people have to the music itself. harry’s success isn’t just tied to how many people tweet about his album or whatever. it's about the cultural impact his music has. take fine line as an example: it's literally a masterpiece and it did great in terms of charts, numbers and awards but the most important thing is its staying power. the long lasting connection that people have created with this album is unbelievable. the same applies to harry's house as well. soon it will be its 3 years anniversary and people still talk about it like it was released yesterday. harry's success isn't just a product of marketing and promo, it’s a reflection of his talent and his ability to deeply connect with people. as for his break i think that sure some people have lost their interest but i think that those people were here just for the hype love on tour had created, they were never here for harry and for the music (more tickets for us ig lol) but tbh his real fanbase is incredibly loyal. i mean his break has only made me even more passionate about his music. there was never a moment that i felt like i was tired of waiting, i'm just even more excited about what he has in store for us and to see his growth as an artist.

one more think i wanna say is that the success of an album doesn't depend only to the "hard-core" fans. sure, there are many of us that follow harry's news closely but commercial success isn’t only about "hardcore" fans, it’s about the general appeal. harry can reach both: us and the casual listeners. there are many people that might not follow the news about him leaving a studio or search about his sneaky promo but when he drops music they are there, ready to listen to it. when he release music, everyone notices him bc it's inevitable - he's an artistic force (that's why his fanbase is growing constantly).

so yeah, music isn't just about numbers and charts and streams, it's about self expression, creativity, fun and cultural impact and harry can easily do both as he has proven in the past with his three albums.

anyway, i'm so sorry for that long ass answer, i'm gonna stop now. 🫣 thank you for sending me this tho 🫶

website update log #24 (April 13th, 2025)

I FINISHED RECREATING THE WEBSITE !!!

the look is more or less the same, with subtle differences and the removal of the image carousel (for now) BUT EVERYTHING IN THE HTML AND CSS FILE HAS BEEN CHANGED!!

i made a system for me to edit and add panels really easily, where i used classes for the panel design and reusable elements (ie “long-box” for really long elements like the github chart, and “three-boxes” for three panels in one row), and IDS for specific non-reusable elements like the navbar and the comment section.

now that editing the website became more flexible (compared to the previous version atleast), i FINALLY CREATED A GOOD LOOKING MOBILE VERSION OF MY WEBSITE WITH BOTTOM NAVBARS AND STUFF

i had a hard time making the previous version compatible to mobile, so it just doesnt look that great…

and besides the one before this, which looks really decent and actually mobile optimized,

it just gets worse and worse…

when i created these websites i never had “making it look great for mobile” in my mind at ALL..but when i found out how important it is for people to have a good-ish mobile experience, i gave it a try lol

ANYWAY!! NOW THAT THATS OUT OF THE WAY, LET ME SHOW YOU THE CHANGES IVE MADE TO THIS SITE YAYY!!!

- replaced the twitter feed panel to an “88x31 buttons ive made” panel

i made a whytee.xyz 88x31 button A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER I REDESIGNED MY WEBSITE

moved the under construction disclaimer from an overlay to its own panel

modified the "made by sushiwt" box by adding "built with firefox/chrome and vscode" and a "- 2025" beside the year

and i FINALLY made the artwork section for my website..

now all that's left is the section about myself, and this website is BASICALLY FINISHED!!!!

developing this website was so fun, and until i get the urge to remake it again, it will look like this for a while…

thank you for reading these logs btw :> i really really really appreciate you coming along for the ride (and by “the ride” i mean the creation of this)

15 September | Monday (midnight)

Right. So, I’ve finally worked out that if I ever want to get any sort of decent sleep during the week, I’ve got to finish Shah’s homework the same night it’s assigned. Otherwise, I'm doomed to be up the night before next class, staring at these cursed charts until my eyes fall right out, and I’m left with a grand total of three hours of sleep. It’s a nightmare, but definitely better than being in the Tuesday, Thursday, AND SATURDAY section! Can you imagine? May Merlin have mercy on those poor souls.

So, here I am, freezing my fingers off in the Astronomy tower, working on these bloody star charts. This time, it’s constellations—not quite as dreadful as tracking planets or mapping some obscure patch of the sky (it all looks the same, Shah!!), but still maddening enough to make me question my life choices (and Shah’s entire teaching philosophy, to be honest). If it’s not the mind-numbing precision, it’s the fact that I’m slowly turning into an icicle up here. My hands are going numb and I don’t know how much longer I can even hold this quill!!! Merlin’s beard, how does Amit do it?! The bloke’s actually up here with me, probably doing next week’s extra credit just for fun. Knowing him, he's finished this week’s homework yesterday. I’ll go ask if I can just borrow his work for a moment (so I can copy it, obviously)

He said no. 

Well, he didn’t exactly say no, but I knew that look. Thanks, Amit. Cheers.

Bet if I had some Felix Felicis, I’d never get that look again. Read it’s a nightmare to brew, though… Still, it might be worth getting a head start. Imagine the awe when I pull it off in class... They’ll all finally see my brilliance.

Anyway, for my own record:

Orion (The Hunter) (utter misery)

Cassiopeia (The Queen)

Ursa Major (The Great Bear)

Aquarius (The Water Bearer) (absolute bane of my existence)

Cygnus (The Swan)

Taurus (The Bull) (yet another bane of my existence)

Hydrus (The Water Snake)

Crux (The Southern Cross)

Pegasus (The Winged Horse) (more insufferable than the other two combined)

Canis Minor (The Lesser Dog) (BEST constellation ever)

Done! Now off to get my precious five hours of sleep. Spectacular. I really should come up with a potion that actually wakes me up. Tea and coffee just don’t quite cut it.

Victor. Word: Vampire

Thanks @cawthorntales ! I'm working my way through all the excellent prompt suggestions I got, and it's been a great creative exercise.

This one was a lot of fun, so here you go!

__________

This week's rotation has Victor on the mid-shift, from three in the afternoon until eleven at night. He's back at work following a much-needed four-day break after having worked the eleven to seven overnight shift for three rotations in a row, and he's glad to be able to experience sunlight again.

He’d begun to feel like a character in an urban fantasy novel, roaming the eerily quiet corridors of the paediatric floor to look in on sleeping children and slipping out of the hospital to have his break in the dead of night. It's been especially weird on their unit after dark since they put the Halloween decorations up.

Yes, it's totally an improvement to come to work while there's still daylight and the majority of his patients are awake.

Victor can't actually say he's delighted to discover that his two newest patients are Camellia and Forest Abbottsford, but he is delighted at their reaction when he enters their room. As if on cue, the pair of five-year-olds exclaim in unison, "It's Victor!"

During shift change today, he was a little surprised when his counterpart on the day shift first showed him Camellia's chart and then Forest's. Both twins had been admitted because their paediatrician, Dr. Park, suspected Type 1 Diabetes and wanted to run a series of tests to confirm or rule out that diagnosis. The idea itself isn't particularly shocking to Victor, considering their dad Fox is diabetic and was diagnosed at a very young age, but he does find it unusual that the twins are showing signs of the illness at the same time.

Forest and Camellia seem to be in good spirits. Fox is there with them, and they're all drawing pictures together. It’s obvious which one of them has inherited Fox’s artistic talent. Forest’s drawing looks way more advanced than anything Victor has seen a typical kindergartener do. He thinks Camellia’s drawing might be of a fire truck, or possibly a red bus.

Fox smiles at his kids. "I said you'd likely see Victor today, didn't I?"

"Victor, are you a doctor?" Camellia asks. "I didn't know you were a doctor!"

"I'm not a doctor," Victor says. "I'm a nurse. You know, the one with the best jokes and the cool Band-Aids."

Forest eyes him warily. "And the needles?"

"Yeah," he confesses.

“The other nurse had a needle too,” says Forest. “And she didn’t have any cool Band-Aids.”

“You didn’t need a Band-Aid for that one, Forest,” Fox says.

“Well, you will this time,” Victor tells him, “But I have the coolest Band-Aids of all time, so I’ve got you covered.”

“Covered. With Band-Aids. That’s a funny joke.” Camellia giggles. She’s apparently unfazed. "I don't mind needles. They don't even hurt that much, and anyway, I'm a superhero!"

"I'm glad you're a superhero," Victor tells her. "We're going to do a special test today, and you're going to need to use all your superpowers, like your super-courage and super-strength."

"What kind of test?" Camellia wants to know.

"It's a blood test. I'm going to take a little bit of your blood out of you, and then the doctors and technicians are going to do all kinds of science-y stuff with it, and try to find out what's making you sick."

"Really?" Camellia looks intrigued. "How are you going to get my blood out of me? Are you like… a vampire?”

Victor laughs. He can't help it. He's gratified to see Fox laughing too, because it erases the stress and worry that'd previously been evident in his expression and body language.

"Oh, I'm definitely a vampire," Victor says. "A science vampire. That means, instead of biting you, I'm going to use my special vampire needle to take your blood. I can’t bite you, because you know, everything has to be clean and germ-free for science.”

"Are you going to take my blood too?" Forest asks. He doesn't seem nearly as fascinated by the process as his twin.

"Yes, but don't worry. I heard your sister is a superhero. I think, if you ask her nicely, she'll hold your hand so you won't be too scared. Unless," he adds, "you're also a superhero. In which case, I think you should hold Daddy's hand so he won't be scared."

Forest chews his lower lip. "Daddy, do you think I'm a superhero?"

"You are absolutely a superhero, Forest," Fox says. "The most super of heroes."

"So, if I hold your hand, that means you won't be scared?"

"I think I'll feel a million times better if you hold my hand."

Victor sets down his little tray of equipment on one of the bedside tables. He tears open a packet containing sterile gloves and puts them on. For some reason, he never ceases to be amused by the fact that all the gloves are colour-coded by size, and that the extra-large gloves are light purple.

He holds up his hands. "What do you think, Camellia? Vampire gloves?"

"Yeah, 'cause everything has to be clean and germ-free for science, right?" Camellia says.

"Exactly," says Victor. "Okay, then. Who wants to be first?"

Camellia bounces up and down on her bed. "Me! I want to see my blood!" She pitches her voice low and elongates the word 'blood' as if she's a character in an animated Halloween special.

Victor raises an eyebrow in the most exaggerated way he can manage. "Oh, do you? How do you know you're even going to see it?"

"You mean, I'm not?" The sudden look of disappointment on her face is so profound that it's comical, and Victor has to bite the inside of his mouth to keep himself from laughing again.

"No, you can if you want to," he says. "My special needle has a little tube on it, so we'll both be able to see."

Camellia rubs her hands together and does the most perfect cartoon villain laugh. "Matsu is gonna be so mad when I tell him about this, 'cause I get to see my blood and he doesn't."

Victor grins at Fox. "Are you sure this one's yours?"

Fox has moved over to Forest's bed and is holding his son in his lap. "Are you suggesting she takes after Takahiro more than she takes after me?"

"I was thinking more along the lines of her secretly being your sister's kid. Clancy seems like the type to get satisfaction out of this kind of stuff."

"Now that you mention it," Fox says. "She always wanted to help with my shots when we were kids. Maybe she just enjoyed sticking needles into me."

"Does that mean I can stick a needle into Forest?" Camellia asks.

"No," Fox says.

Camellia pretends to pout for a few seconds, but then she's all business again. She shifts her attention back to Victor, and in what he presumes is her superhero voice, proclaims, "Okay, vampire, do your worst! I'm not afraid of you!"

And by all appearances, she isn't the least bit afraid of him or his needle. She doesn't make so much as a peep when he inserts it into her arm, and then stares, captivated, as a tiny amount of her blood makes its way up the tubing and into the little collection container.

when he's done, he lets her pick a Band-Aid. To no one's astonishment, she chooses an Avengers one, and then tells him that she's going to keep her sleeve rolled up for the rest of the day so everyone can see it.

Victor is glad that at least one of the twins is taking the experience of being in the hospital reasonably well. He can't imagine what Fox and Taka must be going through. Fox in particular must be struggling because he doubtless remembers what being diagnosed with diabetes as a child was like for him.

He finishes labelling Camellia's blood sample, changes his gloves, and then turns to Forest. "All right, superhero number two. Are you ready?"

Forest nods, but he looks unsure. "Is it going to hurt?"

"Camellia, did it hurt?" Victor asks.

"A little bit," Camellia says, "But you're a superhero, Forest. A little hurt can't stop you!"

"Hold Daddy's hand," Victor reminds him. "Your awesome superpowers are gonna protect him from hurting too."

Forest grips his father's fingers so tightly that Victor can see the tautness of the muscles on the back of his hand, but to his credit, he sits still through the whole procedure and only sheds a few tears. He doesn't watch what's happening, but Victor didn't really expect him to.

When it's all over, Victor praises him as if he's just accomplished the most amazing feat in the world.

"Did it hurt, Daddy?" Forest asks tentatively. "Did my superpowers work?"

Fox hugs him close. "Your superpowers worked so well, I didn't feel a thing. You're such a brave boy, and I'm really proud of you," he tells him. He looks over at his daughter. "And you too, Camellia. You did great."

"Know who I'm proud of?" Camellia says.

"Who?" Fox inquires.

"Victor, 'cause he's the best vampire ever," she declares. "When I grow up, I want to be a science vampire, just like him!"

*****

A few days later, after the twins have been discharged from the hospital, Victor arrives at work to find a big yellow envelope waiting for him at the nurses' station. It's addressed to 'Vampire Okamoto-Nelson'.

His co-worker who hands it to him can't keep the grin off her face. She points to the writing on the outside of the envelope and says, "Happy Halloween."

Inside the envelope, Victor finds a handmade card. On the front is a drawing that was clearly done by Fox, of a nurse with silver hair and purple gloves. The cartoon nurse is holding a needle in one hand, and there are a pair of bats — a girl and a boy bat, judging by the bow and baseball cap on their respective heads — hovering over his shoulder. The banner at the top says 'To the Best Vampire Ever'.

On the inside of the card, Forest and Camellia have each written thank you messages to him. Their handwriting is wobbly and most of the words in the short note are misspelled, but it’s all still legible.

Victor puts the card on the staff bulletin board. He'll take it home after his shift, but it's too good not to share with everyone passing by in the meantime. He knows he's going to treasure it for a long time to come.

Happy Halloween, indeed.

Torna - The Golden Country: Thoughts

;-;

-All unique monsters besides the gold ones defeated, full community, all affinity charts completed, full pouch item completion.

-Game looks and sounds great, though there's definitely signs of age nowadays due to pop-in and texture loading

-Gameplay is top notch, despite my complaining about certain things. Driver, Blade and Fusion combos combined with XC2's version of the Chain Attack is candy for the brain. A streamlined XC2 experience that's perfect for Torna's shorter campaign. However, I wouldn't want the same systems in the main game tbh, even the easier elemental orb stacking. I feel both systems fit their respective games just fine.

-Exploration is fun! Collection points as a whole are better than XC1's item orbs IMO, though I imagine I'll have less of a grand time with base XC2's version since there's nothing marking them there as minerals, vegetables, etc. Same thing with Field Skills, as since there's only six Blades required for the adventure, there's less to manage, but XC2 is bigger and more varied, with many more field skills to lock chests and locations behind.

-I know that the Community aspect of the game is divisive, as it locks main story progress behind it, but... honestly I don't mind. The game without its quests is extremely short, and the Community honestly adds another emotional kick to the gut by the time you get to the end. Besides, there's so few quests anyway that it's not that much of a time sink/waste.

-Story and characters made me cryyyyyy. Knowing the futures of all the Blades in the party makes a turbulence of emotions in my stomach, and Lora, Addam, and Hugo were all splendid protagonists to follow. Seeing just how great and grand Torna was (again, thanks to story, characters, and quests) really sets up the main game of XC2 well, as you'd definitely feel its presence lost.

-MILTOOOOOON 😭😭😭

-Gonna take a break before starting main game XC2, I need a nap to stop the tears

HELLO CARROT!

Given how apparently I’m immune to playing OW games without recording them now, you’ll audibly hear my thoughts within the next few weeks (I’m posting tomorrow because I’m an absolute maniac), BUT I WANNA SAY THINGS HERE BECAUSE APPRECIATION CAN’T WAIT THAT LONG!

Also Merry Christmas! It’s midnight when I’m writing this, so ‘tis the day of caroling and festivities and woah. Or happy holidays if you don’t celebrate!

Back to the Our Cinderella topic, I have only played Genzou’s route as of now (I’m sure that’s hardly surprising, he is my fav), but the others are next. Their time is coming. They cannot escape. SO SPOILERS FOR GENZOU’S ROUTE!

First off, I saw you included the little dancing in front of TV Iggy pose and the joy I felt seeing it was off the charts. I kept bringing it up, I was very happy. And seeing Iggy moving about was really cool in general, even without the novelty of seeing a suggestion I made exist in the game.

NEXT UP! Genzou drunk singing is an image I didn’t know I needed, thank you for the visual and the brain food. BUT ALSO I HAVE BEEN CONNECTING JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR SONGS TO OW FOR SO LONG AND HEARING THE MUSICAL BE MENTIONED BY GENZOU THREW ME FOR A LOOP. Great musical, very nice. Last Supper reminds me of Genzou and Orlam. Judas’s voice in general reminds me of Orlam. Musicals and OW can further connect in my brain hobby drawer.

The text interactions in general were really funny, actually. I liked the absolute chaos that was Iggy and Genzou’s text conversations, I was laughing while trying to read a lot of the time. I remember the aforementioned drunk singing conversation and the puddle one both got me pretty good while I was reading, and it was overall fun to see more lighthearted conversations from the characters, even if it’s in a different universe from the main canon.

To end things off, ‘cause again 1) I haven’t finished all the game’s routes yet, and 2) you’ll be able to hear my thoughts in the moment if you choose in future anyways, I wanna mention the version of Cinderella Bucks tells at the end? I can’t get it out of my head. When I was thinking about the game after having just played it, my mind kept flashing back to CinderJesus. It absolutely decimated my brain function, but in a very fun way. More slice-of-life Bucks, please, she’s peak comedy.

Very fun game, 10/10, very sad I couldn’t buy the Kirby in the first playthrough but it’s on my to-do list, aaaand yeah! Thank you for making this! I loved every minute of it, and I’m really excited to play the remaining routes once my irl festivities are over.

sob this is so sweet! 😭💕 i'm excited to watch your playthrough too -- things are a bit overwhelming in general for me right now as i'm still with my family and doing a bunch of things, but even if i'm unable to find time this week i will for sure watch once i'm back home next week. i'm really happy that you're enjoying it so much already tho ahhhh and that you're finding it so entertaining 🥺

i'm glad you liked the poses i had so much fun with them and also using some of the suggestions to add more! and LMAO JCS is a musical i grew up watching (my parents used to play the original album in the house lol) so i get the songs stuck in my head a lot, hence why it randomly worked its way into this (among many other random silly little references or inspirations from my own life hahaha). that is extremely funny to me 🤣

i'm glad you liked the convos they were the epitome of silly. and also bucks's part hahaha. i was half-worried it would end up being too ridiculous and random for people because it just got so weird in places hahaha

thank you so much for this lovely message and all of your thoughts and for playing the game! 🥺💕 i look forward to watching the playthrough so i can see all of your reactions in real-time lakjdfs

There comes a time during a long work shift were your average overworked and underpaid employee starts to think they’re hallucinating. 

In Gareth’s case, it was when Steve Harrington walked through the doors of Palace Arcade, making a beeline right for him. 

“Gareth?” Steve asked, like he was the one out of place. “What are you doing here?” 

As if people just randomly stood behind the counter of retail and entertainment spaces with a nametag on. 

You know, for fun.

With a great deal of restraint, Gareth managed to hold the sass back, instead opting for a far more polite; ‘I work here, Harrington. What are you doing here?” 

Because no matter how much Hellfire had adopted Steve into its fold, Gareth could just not see the guy choosing to spend his free time at the local arcade. 

Not of his own free will, anyway. 

“Pick up duty.” Steve said, proving him right not even a second later. 

“Of what?” Gareth asked, puzzled, right before Steve’s name was shouted in stereo.

A miniature stampede took place as several children proceeded to swarm him like oversized puppies, most of them trying to talk at once. 

“One at a time, we talked about this!” Steve barked, loud enough to be heard over the commotion. “You’re giving me and Gareth here a headache!” 

He waved his hands in a “calm down” gesture, shaking his head and looking at Gareth in exasperation. “Probably giving the people in the video store next door one too, lord.”  

“Wait.” A curly-haired kid said, looking between the two older teens like he was watching the laws of the universe rewrite themselves in front of him. “You know Gary? How?”

“We are not close enough for you to call me Gary.” Gareth said dryly, for what felt like the fifteenth time that day. 

This was a regular battle between him and the kids who haunted the arcade.

(One had overheard Grant call him Gary the last time he was in, and ever since, every single child that graced this fine establishment with Cheeto-dusted fingers and candy-induced sugar rushes had decided to replace his actual name with his nickname.

The fact it clearly frustrated him only egged them on. )

“We go to school together Dustin,” Steve said, as if he were talking to someone particularly dense. 

“Yeah? You go to school with lots of people. You bitch about most of them.” Dustin fired back.”Plus Gary’s a total nerd. I bet you call him names.” 

"Hey, language!" 

Gareth’s eyes narrowed as he glared down at the little fucker. He was definitely going to remember Dustin (and equally going to watch and see what arcade games the younger teen played-- and top the score chart of every single fucking one.

He might be a nerd but he wasn’t gonna take that shit from a middle schooler.) 

“Hate to break it to you brats, but your babysitter here just joined our D&D club.” Gareth replied, if only to finally one-up the little bastards. “Our DM is building him a character as we speak.” 

(Which wasn't even a lie. Eddie was building a character for Steve. The guy just refused to give any input on grounds that he "wasn't going to play anyways." )

Abrupt and sudden silence, as several stunned faces stared at him. 

“Oh goddammit.” Harrington cursed, as the entire herd of children turned on him in unison like some kind of hivemind horror monster. 

“You joined the D&D club,” Dustin said slowly, outraged. “And you let them make you a character sheet, but you won’t play with us!?” 

“What the hell Steve!” The sporty-looking one whined, clearly hurt. “You won’t sit in on our games! You said they were lame!” 

“They are lame.” Steve defended immediately, pushing at sporty-kids head. It was fond though, the kind of gentle shove an elder brother gave to a younger one. It caused the kid's camo banana to fall into his eyes, which he adjusted quickly with a grumble. “Turns out the high school version’s cooler.” 

“He’s lying.” That from the bitchy one, whose arms were crossed over his chest, a glare on his face. “Steve probably paid Gary to say that” 

Gareth had seen that exact same stance on Steve at lunch that day, and wondered if the little asshole knew who he was copying when he did it. 

“Who cares about D&D?” This from the redhead, standing with another girl giggling in her ear. “I’m just amazed Steve has friends.” 

“Really Mayfield?” Steve said, looking almost betrayed. As if he thought she was going to be the one to defend him in this weird little showdown.

The girl leaning on her giggled harder, making Mayfield grin (even if she tried to hide it.)  She whispered something, which the redhead outright laughed at before repeating; “Adult friends even!” 

“Okay.” Steve said, clearly cutting the kids off before they could embarrass him further. “Thank you, unwanted peanut gallery, for all of that lovely commentary. Now go back to playing the games you little shits robbed me of all my quarters for, or we’re leaving.” 

Henderson’s eyes narrowed. “I thought you were here to pick us up?” 

“Oh I’m sorry, did Jonathan magically appear behind me in the last five seconds?” Steve turned around pretending to search the parking lot through the windows. “No? Then I guess we’re still waiting. Unless you, Lucas and Max want to leave first.” 

“You’re such an ass.” Dustin huffed, rolling his eyes. “Why aren’t you waiting in the car anyway?” 

“It’s raining, it’s cold, and I thought I’d come in to say hi to my friend.” Steve replied, so quickly it took Gareth a moment to realize what Steve referred to him as. 

He'd gotten the friend title before Eddie. 

His best friend was going to fucking freak. 

“Are you done drilling me or are you going to let Max kick your ass at DigDug again?” 

“Shit!” Henderson cursed, spinning to intercept the redhead as she bent to put a coin in said arcade machine. “Max, you said you’d let me keep my leaderboard score today! Max!” 

“I know you said you watched kids, but this wasn’t exactly what I was imagining.” Gareth said, slumping against the counter.  

(He'd been thinking of Steve watching much younger kids for one, and two, he was starting to get the idea the babysitter thing was used as an insult. 

Gareth knew a big brother vibe when he saw it.) 

Steve gave him a tired look. “Me neither man. Me neither.”

 Then; “You fucking owe me for that D&D comment, they’re never going to shut up about it now.”

Gareth winced. “Sorry. I was trying to help.” 

Steve blew out a breath. “I know. I appreciate the attempt.” 

Which was better than Steve bitching at him for it, not that he’d really ever done that to Gareth. 

The two of them hadn’t quite worked up the nerve to be playful like that with each other, though they had occasionally jumped in on opposing sides to arguments Eddie caused. Gareth figured they’d get there in time, but even with all the progress Steve made, he still had more off days than on. 

It was a fragile line to walk with him. Especially when there wasn’t a single member of Hellfire who wanted to ruin the progress they made. 

(Even if half of them would never admit to it.) 

“Steve?” A voice interrupted, quiet in a way that contrasted directly with how loud the rest of the brat pack was. 

Steve closed his eyes for a moment, pinching the bridge of his nose with his hand as if to starve off a headache. 

“Yes, Baby Byers?” He asked after a long, painful pause, turning to look at the saddest looking kid in the bunch. 

“Is there actually a D&D club at the high school?” 

The kid looked at Steve like he wasn’t entirely certain he wanted to hear the answer, but was hopeful for the outcome he wanted anyway. 

It was the kind of thing that pulled even on Gareth’s heartstrings, and he was almost immune to anything involving giant, sad eyes after a solid year of working at the arcade. 

(Never mind Eddie’s own puppy dog looks.)

Steve’s voice gentled, in a way Gareth had never quite heard him use before. “There is. You’d love it, it’s called Hellfire. I’m sure it’ll still be there next year when you come in as a freshman.” 

He nudged him with his shoulder playfully, smiling when the younger boy perked up. “If you’re nice, Garebear here might even put in a good word for you.” 

“Garebear?” Max repeated with a burst of laughter, appearing behind Steve like a fucking ghost. “Oh my god.” 

“No.” Gareth said, bolting upright from his slouch as he stared at her in horror. “Do not call me that.” 

“Sure thing, Garebear.” She outright cackled, as Steve sent him a wide-eyed, apologetic face. 

“What did you just call Gary?” The sporty one--Lucas, asked, a wide grin overtaking his face. 

“I swear to God.” Gareth threatened, as Steve took another dramatic look over his shoulder. 

“Hey look Jonathan’s here!” He yelled, jerking a thumb over his shoulder as he started quickly walking backwards. “Come on, dipshits, we're leaving!” 

“Bye Garebear!” Lucas and Max sang together, following after him. 

“Harrington!” Gareth howled, as Steve mouthed ‘Sorry’ over his shoulder, all but bolting out the door. 

“I like Garebear a lot better than Gary.” Another, random child informed him with a grin as he sauntered past, arcade tickets in hand. 

Steve Harrington, Gareth decided, was a dead man. 

Not even Eddie’s fucking crush on the guy could save him now. 

xXx

“Did you know Harrington has a literal pack of kids he watches?” Gareth asked a few hours later, messing with his drum kit as he set up for band practice. "He even drives them around." 

More than that though--he’d seemed almost normal around them. That was the most Gareth had seen the guy banter or act relaxed since Eddie had dragged him over. 

“He’s mentioned it multiple times.” Grant replied, tuning his bass. “You have ears Gareth, use them.” 

“Gareth? Listen?” Jeff teased as he dragged an amp into the garage. “I don’t think I’ll live to see the day.” 

"Oh screw you guys.” Gareth growled, winging a drumstick toward his friends for the insult.

Grant, long used to Gareth's tantrums (and Eddie's dramatics)  didn't look up from his bass.

Not even when the drumstick hit the wall with a bang!-- allll the way near the opposite end of the couch, entirely opposite of either him or Jeff. 

"As usual, your aim is dead on." Jeff appraised sarcastically. 

"Like I'd ever actually hit you." Gareth grumbled with a pout. "I was gonna say the kids are older than I expected."

He reached down, blindly fishing for another drumstick from the bucket of them next to his kit. 

He came up empty. 

"Hey Grantman." Gareth asked, tone changing to something mildly embarrassed. "Could I uh, could I get the drumstick back?" 

He got a flat stare back. "No." 

"What did I do to get stuck with such dramatic friends?" Jeff joked as he began moving all the amps he’d pulled in back into their usual places. 

They hadn't had time to unload anything other than the drums after their last show and the regret was real. 

"Eddie’s been standing on tables since seventh grade, you knew what you were getting into." Gareth fired back, making grabby hands for his drumstick. 

"And you never grew out of being that dorky middle schooler who snuck into Hellfire games and screamed we were all going to die every time anyone made a bad play." Jeff shot back. "Yet here I am, once again wondering if I should just permanently confiscate Eddie's snacks, your drumsticks, and now Harrington's fricken spatula." 

"One year. I am one year younger than you and you act like it's an entire century!" Gareth muttered, as Grant relented and leaned over to fetch said drumstick. 

"We all know Eddie chucks food at people, but what'd Steve do with a spatula?"  Grant asked as he tossed it back to Gareth.

He missed and nearly took out a cymbal in the process. 

"He had a snit while we were making chocolate roulade cause it wouldn’t roll right. Flung the spatula around so much it splattered whip cream on his ceiling." Jeff shook his head as he finished hooking an amp up to his guitar. "I had to rescue it from him." 

"His ceiling?" Gareth said in disbelief. "Wait, you were in Harrington’s kitchen?" 

"Yeah?" Jeff looked up to find his friends staring at him. 

Grant blinked. "The fuck?" 

“Can we just play?” Jeff complained, just as embarrassed as Gareth had been.

“No.” Gareth said, retrieved drumstick nearly falling from his hands in shock. “You don’t get to casually drop that you went to Harrington’s house to help him bake and then try to get us to play right after!” 

Jeff, who had done exactly that, blushed, skin darkening as he fiddled with his guitar.

“It wasn’t a big deal.” He said finally with a shrug, as if this was something he did all the time and not the groundbreaking revelation that it was.

“Did you meet his parents?” Grant said, sitting up from the couch. “What did his house look like?”

Jeff finally gave up the pretense of playing his instrument.

“I didn't, and it was kinda sad, actually.” He said, as if he didn’t live for this kind of shit. 

Gareth knew better than anyone how much of a fricken gossip Jeff could be. 

“His house was enormous. I only saw the first floor, and his kitchen is huge.” He set his hands apart at a good distance, showcasing just how large “huge” was, before continuing. 

“But it was weird. It was like a model home. No pictures on the walls, no art, no personality to the place at all.” 

“What are we talking about?” Eddie asked, finally returning to Gareth’s garage from where he’d been gathering up all the wires they’d thrown haphazardly into his van. 

“Jeff went to Harrington’s house.” Grant and Gareth tattled as one. 

“To help bake stuff for this Friday!” Jeff defended, the blush creeping back onto his face. “I was curious about his chocolate roulade recipe and he invited me over!” 

“When was this?” Eddie asked, staring at Jeff like he’d grown a second head. 

Or more likely, Gareth knew, in jealousy. But he wasn’t going to call Eddie out on that just yet. 

“Yesterday. We got to talking about it in the parking lot after school.” Jeff said with an embarrassed shrug. “He said he wasn’t the best at explaining how to do things and that he’d rather show me instead.” 

“Kinky.” Grant deadpanned, making Jeff sputter. 

“You sure you didn’t see his bedroom, Jeff? It’s okay if you fell for the ‘wanna see my music collection’ line. We won’t judge you.” Gareth waggled his eyebrows, ducking with a laugh when Jeff went to whack him. 

“Shut up, we just made the chocolate roulade!” Jeff’s ears were red now, and huh, maybe Eddie wasn’t the only person with a crush.  

“Guys.” Eddie reprimanded, tone warning. 

“Sorry Eds, you know we don’t mean it.” Gareth soothed. Of course, his best friend's anger was less about the gay comments or Steve’s reputation as Hawkin’s man whore than it was about Steve fucking Jeff (and not Eddie) but he had a feeling it wouldn’t be appreciated if he pointed that out either. 

Eddie didn’t respond, eyes already back on Jeff. "Details, Jeffery, give us the details!"  

He dropped onto the couch, flapping his hands at Jeff in his version of a "sit down" gesture. 

Jeff sighed, but repeated what he'd just said for Eddie as he took a seat on the edge of an amp, placing his guitar down gently. 

 "I think Wayne was right. I don't think anyone else lives there but Steve. Not full-time anyway." He finished. 

Which sounded like the best fucking thing ever until Gareth thought about it for more than two seconds. 

Tried to imagine what his life would be like if his parents and siblings were gone. Not for a day, or even a weekend, but always. 

How silent his normally loud house would be. 

Thought instantly that he'd be inviting Eddie, his friends, and hell, l even Wayne, over as often as they could handle. 

"The way he looked when I showed up, and how quiet he got when I left I just…" Jeff fiddled with his guitar’s strap. "I think he's lonely." 

The four of them sat in silence for a long moment as they digested that. 

“Hargrove kicked his ass right? And Byers?” Grant said finally, breaking the silence ad he stared up at the ceiling. 

“Old news.” Eddie replied absently, jiggling his leg.

“You think his parents were around for that?” Grant continued, slowly.

No one answered outside of Eddie's leg loudly jiggling faster. 

 "Did you see the kids hug him or anything?"

"They're like thirteen. I seriously doubt they're pestering Steve for hugs." Gareth answered flatly.  

 "So he got his ass kicked, his parents are gone, he was supposed involved in that whole has leak thing…" Grant trailed off with an air of someone who expected the end of his sentence to be obvious. 

“You’re doing that thing again where you think what you’re saying is obvious and its fucking not.” Eddie grumped. "Just spit it out." 

His friend's head finally tipped back down from the ceiling, to face the rest of them. “Maybe the flinching is because no one ever touches him anymore unless it’s to kick his ass.” 

“Oh.” Eddie blinked, body going rigid. “Oh shit.” 

“That…would make sense. A lot of sense.” Jeff said slowly. 

Grant put on a face that read “Duh” loud and clear. 

“So what do we do about it?" Gareth asked after a moment. 

"Touch him, obviously." Grant replied, like he couldn't believe the drummer was even asking.

Gareth and Eddie shared a look while Eddie rolled his eyes.  

"The guy almost fell down the stairs last time I tried that." Gareth pointed out. 

Never mind any other time Steve got weird over the lightest of touches. Eddie couldn't even clap the guy on the shoulder without getting major side-eye. 

"No."  Eddie cut in, sitting up suddenly. His eyes had gone bright, "We're going to trick him into it." 

"We're going to trick Harrington into being okay with, what? Shoulder pats?"  Gareth echoed, like Eddie might hear himself if his words were repeated back to him. “You realize how stupid that sounds right?" 

"Shut up, listen. It's like getting a stray to trust you. You just gotta be calm and so obvious about it that they get confused and let it happen." Eddie had begun practically vibrating, causing his friends to trade uneasy glances. 

They knew that look. Eddie only got it when he thought up a plan that was going to cause problems. 

"Eddie, that makes zero sense." Jeff told him.

Gareth just shook his head, because only Eddie Munson could compare Hawkins golden boy with a fucking stray animal. 

Even if the guy kinda acted like one sometimes. 

"I just need an opening." Eddie continued, the little hamster wheel spinning in his head so fast the rest of the band could almost hear it. 

If Gareth had been told two months ago he was going to be sitting in his garage, discussing the best way to acclimate Steve Harrington to casual touch, he’d have actually smacked whatever idiot dared spew such nonsense with his drumsticks. 

"I did tell tell the kids today you were making him a D&D character." He said, before his best friend could truly go off on some half cocked plot. 

Eddie lit up like a kid on Christmas. "Gary, I could kiss you."

Gareth made a face. "Please don't."

He clapped hard before springing to his feet. "Huddle up boys, I've got a plan." 

"God help us all." Jeff muttered. 

(He huddled up anyway, any thoughts of playing guitar that night fully forgotten.) 

Bonus: 

"Why don't you just get high and watch a movie with Steve? You're a fucking cling-on when you're high." Gareth complained the next morning, when Eddie swung by to pick him up for school. 

Mostly because the plan Eddie had come up with was ridiculous.

 Eddie took both hands off the wheel, pressing them against his chest in mock offense while he stared at Gareth and not at the street. “That would be taking advantage of him and I, as a gentleman, would never." He gasped, dramatically. 

In his normal voice, he added: "Plus it doesn't count." 

“Eyes on the road!” Gareth yelped, swatting an arm. “And you know I didn’t mean it like that. People relax more when they're high and maybe Steve needs something like that as an excuse to allow it. Hell he doesn’t even need to be high, just you.”

Which Gareth personally thought was a very insightful thing to say, so of course he had to ruin it with; “or whatever.” 

"Do you recall how you kissed Jeff on the cheek when you were high and then spent the entire next month swearing up and down that you weren't attracted to men last summer?" 

"That was different. I was discovering myself." 

Eddie outright cackled. "Discovering yourself? What self help book did you pick that gem out of?"

"I was quoting you, you moron!" Gareth sputtered. 

"If I said anything like that then I was definitely high and it just proves my point. Steve would just be uncomfortable."Eddie stuck his tongue out. "So there." 

"Fine." Gareth sighed. "If we ever get high with Harrington, I'll sit in his lap."

Eddie's eye twitched. "No you will not."

Thrilled to have something to tease the elder metalhead about, a smile graced Gareth's face. "In fact, I'm calling dibs." 

"You can't call dibs on a lap! And besides, you don't even like him like that!" 

"So?" Gareth retorted. "It's a nice lap, looks comfortable. You don't want it, so I'll take it."

Eddie grit his teeth, grasping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles went white. 

"I know what you're doing Gary. This is some bullshit reverse psychology shit and I will not be falling for it." 

"Oh contraire, this is sibling bullshit, Munson. You want it, so I want it." Gareth crossed his arms and looked at Eddie smugly. "And unless you do something about it, I'm getting it." 

"I hate you." 

Gareth grinned, delighted. "I know."
