"Steve, I need you to come over," Eddie's shaky voice in the receiver made the sleepy confusion on Steve's face turn into a concerned frown.
"Wha- Are you okay?"
The loud screech, even louder thud of the phone dropping to the floor and more whimpering and sobbing was enough to get him out of bed, grabbing his bat and run to his car.
~~~
"Eddie? Eddie!"
"In here! Hurry!"
Steve gripped the bat tighter, pushing the door to Eddie's bedroom open and looking around the seemingly safe area. Expect for the mess all over the floor and bed, and the overly spooked metalhead holding a long pole stick - where did he get that from? - perched on a chair.
"Get this spawn of satan out of here!" Eddie shrieked, and for a second Steve just stared at him blankly.
"What are we fighting?" He asked, looking around more carefully now.
"There's a MOUSE in my room," the man hissed just as the sound of four little paws hit the floorboards right behind Steve. "There!"
"ARGH!" Steve threw himself onto the bed, the bat pointed at the source of the very sound - a small, grey mouse, sitting on its back legs and staring at Steve with its little head tilted to the side.
For a long moment there was no sound - the world seemed to stop around the two men and the creature.
But that was until the mouse got back on all fours and ran to the other corner, resulting in another dose of high pitched screams and violent bat-and-pole-stick swinging.
And if Wayne came home a few hours later to Steve and Eddie sleeping on the couch holding onto each other for dear life, the bedroom door barricaded with furniture and towels in every crack, then that's for them to have to explain later.

think everyone online would be happier if they remembered that we are all cringe. yes even the cool people theyre still tumblr users posting about [insert fandom here]. doesnt matter if theyre a talented creator theyre still just as much of a loser as you are. and once you internalise this and stop putting people on pedestals while simultaneously putting yourself down you will be happier

big fan of characters who understand each other so well that they are able to use each other’s weaknesses against each other. characters who have been inseparable for so long (whether they like it or not) that they’ve witnessed each other’s crest and fall and studied each other’s dispositions like specimens beneath glass. as a result they’ve crawled into the cracks in each other’s skin & mapped out the soft underbelly hidden beneath all that confidence and pride. so now they’re calling out the other person’s most shameful flaws, sniping at the most sensitive bits of scar tissue they try so desperately to hide, digging out their most humiliating memories or those filled with grief.
if you’re lovers or close friends, then you’re forced to realize that yes, to be loved is to be known, but to be known is also to flay yourself open. you cannot declare yourself above the risk of having someone take advantage of your wounds & you cannot transcend the vulnerability that comes as love’s collateral damage
if you’re enemies… then all i can say is that the sweet respite of enduring coexistence for so long is that you know precisely how to take each other apart. you know how to play the other like putty beneath your fingertips by tugging at their pain points, and that in itself is a glorious thing—but equally so, the knowledge that they can enact the exact same thing on you is inordinately terrifying

Anyone willing to hear my crack idea for a gravity falls oc of a species of monster I just made up and I say crack bc its only understandable once you understand I'm the kind of guy who kicks his feet around when watching an analog horror series/horror movie and is obbessed with hannibal and dexter (its not quite related but you get the gist) if you understand me then you'll understand the character also its mostly just sleep deprived garbage bc night shifts have been draining on me lmao
basically I haven't seen anything based off of my fave monster of all time the wedigo, love the philosophy, metaphors and general symbolism of the thing and wanted to do something like that with the uncanny of general things that may talk, act or walk and be your very 'human' 'friend' but really is just trying to eat you give em all those characteristics....but they're a nice fellow. just don't let em near human blood and we're fine :]
anyways who wants to message me abt it?
