post s4 steddie fic where eddie, finally free of high school, realises he doesn’t know who he is without the rigid cliches he’s defined himself by his whole life. he doesn’t know who he is if he’s not performing and loudly declaring himself to be a freak just to desperately grapple for attention and respect.

eddie who, like steve, realises it’s all bullshit.

eddie, who’s jealous that steve so easily understands who he is and how he fits into his life, regardless of any jokes other people make at his expense. who accepts people wholeheartedly, despite the fact that cliches would have them hate each other.

steve, who helps teach eddie how to be himself, regardless of the ‘munson doctrine’ and what other people would define him as. who teaches eddie that being a ‘freak’ doesn’t actually define him, and he can find and enjoy interests outside of what society dictates he can.

eddie, who gets into sports, and enjoys drama, and music, and tv shows that teenaged him would’ve mocked and bullied him for years ago. eddie who grows and changes as he gets older, and isn’t constantly trapped in his performance of ‘the school drug-dealing freak’.

*thinking about the villains' tragic fates*

You know, their routes never really talk too much about their fates and how it effects them mentally. Or how the MC feels about it, and dealing with the fear and angst of it with the slight exception of William's route

*eyes widen*

... I think I know what the sequels are gonna be about

imagine working out with your sporty f/o. ♡ | the way your f/o pushes themself harder to show off for you. sweat beads on their brow as they go for an extra set. they glance in your direction occasionally, hoping you're watching. your f/o is always there to spot for you, fully focused on their task as you lift. imagine wearing matching outfits to the gym, having matching colored gear (sweatbands, water bottles, pedometers, etc). how they always pack an iced water bottle for you, whether you request it or not. the soothing experience of massaging each others' sore muscles when you get home. ♡ | bonus: if you're just beginning your fitness journey ... the way your f/o gently corrects your stance, their practiced hands guiding you lovingly. your f/o never fails to congratulate you on your progress - they watch you closely, and notice things you might fail to. there isn't a single milestone they miss. prøship/cømship/ant!-ant! dni.

anyway I've been keeping this on the low on socials but I've lost 25lbs since August 5th, and I'm halfway to my first weightloss goal :)

I gained a lot of weight after moving away to go do my doctorate; it was a double whammy of living on my own and having the "I'm an adult, I'll buy what I want!" attitude, but also winter depression hit me hard in 2022 because where I live now on the coast tends to be pretty grey and rainy, and miserable also.

However, after hitting a point where I went up a couple pant sizes and where even just walking uphill was becoming a challenge, I decided to make a change for me to look at my diet and continuing to go to the gym/playing rugby in the fall.

I follow Calories In, Calories Out (CICO), which is basically just calculating your baseline TDEE, then taking note of what you eat in a day, and finding a comfortable deficit. At first it was hard (The first week I was also PMSing and so I felt very hungry) but nowadays I find it quite easy to hit my mark. I still also enjoy eating the things I like or having 'cheat' days now and again, but just in smaller proportions!

Anyway I'm marking this milestone, and hoping that in another 3-4 months, I return to the weight I was before I moved out. After that, I plan to continue but also really incorporate building muscle and improving strength. :)

Don’t call it a comeback…it’s a continuation.

Life’s journey is never a strait continuous line it has its peaks and valleys. Looking forward to finally being capable of climbing another peak after being in a valley for too long.

Oh and btw, Happy Flex Friday!

5/7/24 Yesterday's food log. For accountability n shit:

Lunch treadmill workout

Collagen creamer in my coffee.

Turkey sausage n cuke.

Stir fried lettuce, 3 oz chicken. Sf poly sauce. Carrots.

Catalina crunch 230 calories for that bad. It was good but is it worth the price? I am thinking of ordering more. Idk.

I did CBD gummies & a beverage, which would add 50 c. [I bet I forgot to add that]

I took a bath to relax. It was a long workday 11 hours.

Ate dinner after bath. Had half that burger. But realized I probably could have reduced the cheese (1.5 slices eaten). Ate 1 while I was cooking. Ugg.

Overall, I think it was a better day.

Good job 👏

So proud of you 👏

Strength 💪

Persistence 🤩

decided to throw my hat in the ring and try making a playlist

it's mostly made up of songs i think lisa and creature would like, songs that I think would fit them, and songs I think fit the vibe of the film

Mid March 2024

[itspileofgoodthings]

also I am not an Austen heroine but I might be if Bingley were a woman and also inherently and of necessity smarter and much further along in my character journey (all love to Bingley)

[fictionadventurer]

It is so much fun watching Roseanna M. White be Catholic.

For one thing, she tells you cool history stuff about Christmas music.

[crescentmp3]

love planning out an entire video game that will take me years of learning to get started on making.

SOCK SUCCESS

[spitefulfitness]

Do yourselves a favor.

Get this guy:

Then fry up some stir fry steak cuts in some olive oil and your choice of spices.

Add that to your salad.

You will then have the most kick-ass salad I've had in ages.

Literally it's so good.

Treat yo self.

Favorite moment in Tenet where Neil Knows?

I love you but you're also the worst for sending me this. like girl how do you expect me to choose. it's a tragedy but also not.

like there's a part of me that wants to say that first scene in Mumbai, because he shows up ready for a good time (not a long time) with his best friend and then you can see the moment it hits him that the Protagonist doesn't know him yet. Kaylie said at one point that Neil is actually deeply sad for part of the movie because he has to keep up such a pretense and act like he doesn't know the things he does (act like he doesn't know his best friend, I cannot emphasize this enough) and like. I know I've mentioned before how time travel narratives inherently have some level of acting involved. some people are better actors than others, and Neil has the potential to be very good at it but he just Isn't at this point. pragmatist with a bleeding heart.

however I am also on some level always thinking of the "if we're still standing, and you still care, then I can tell you my life story" line. every single time the Protagonist mistrusts him you can SEE it break Neil's heart a little bit more (in particular the scene where he asks about the dead drop and the Protag won't tell him looks like he's just been stabbed. it's like he has to constantly remind himself that the Protagonist doesn't know him yet because he keeps forgetting and then something like that happens and he can't NOT remember) but that scene in particular... it's followed up at the very end of the movie by the Protagonist making a point, just before Neil goes off to die, to ask again. you never did tell me who recruited you. because for the time being they're both still standing and the Protagonist most definitely still cares. and it's so intensely bittersweet.

listen. I don't know if Neil knew before the last scene that he was going to die. if he did, I have no idea when he would have figured it out. but he Knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Protagonist is NOT going to die. so he says screw it and pulls his teammates (one of whom was/is/will-be his best friend) out of the hole that's also his own grave (hello Anne Boyer) and then goes right back into that grave to jump in front of a bullet because he Knows. he Knows his friend doesn't die here. what's happened happened. so he Knows what he's going to do, because he was always going to do it.

is any of this an answer to your question? honestly I don't even know but thanks for making me wax poetic about this film again
