Hear me out, Michael would think Roxy is SICK AF

"Disabled people should be allowed to be as independent as we can be" and "disabled people should not be pressured to be hyper-independent in order to not wind up in nursing homes against our will" are two thoughts that can, and should, exist at the same time.

[hello-sweetheart]

You know that trope where Person A thinks Person B is just being nice but they’re actually flirting. What about the opposite? Person A misreading their behavior and being the only one falling impossibly in love.

Clumsy in Love part 1

Eddie really is just that nice and friendly, but Steve is convinced that Eddie is flirting with him. He’s flirting back, less confident and more subtle than he usually would, but he’s never liked a guy that way.

Not in a way that made him really want to spend every waking moment just hearing them ramble. Not in way that made Steve want to keep him the way he wants to keep Eddie. Everything is so new. It feels, delicate. Precious.

His heartbeat quickens each time Eddie leans into his space and it’s been happening all the time now that Steve worries he’ll develop a heart condition if he doesn’t deal with it soon. When Eddie laughs and leans his face closer to his own, looks into Steve’s eyes through those lashes in a way that Steve can’t help but take a quick glance at those lips curled is mischief.

He’s always so happy to see Steve, wasting no time in bouncing his way to greet him and pull him into the conversation with an arm slung around his shoulder. Then there’s the moments of shared glances when someone says something particularly astounding. And how Eddie will make his way into Steve’s space when they sit together, throwing his feet in his lap or leaning into his side.

Sure, Eddie is friendly but not to this extent. Not with everyone else. Steve feels it. Knows it. That electricity between them that makes this thing between them different. Special.

But one day (another that Steve spends trying to work up the courage to do something), they’re in the city shopping for music in an alternative store that’s tucked away. Steve is talking to Eddie, giddy and happy because it just them today, and Eddie is nodding along while he browses through the tapes and then,

Eddie looks up and stills, eyes widening just a bit. And Steve is still rambling along, but he can tell his words are just going through one ear and out the other. He trails of caught in the middle of his story because he’s never seen this look on Eddie face.

Eddie’s mouth is slightly agape, eyes alight caught in wonder and soft as he looks at something across the room and when Steve turns to see what caught his eye—

A guy stands a couple tables away looking at some vinyl and shyly smiling at Eddie in small glances. He’s a bit taller than them, dressed in black with a couple of piercings decorating his face, the sides of his head shaved short. Attractive, dementor coy and kind.

His heart skips a beat again, but it feels different this time.

Steve looks back at Eddie whose cheeks are slightly dusted in pink.

“Eddie-“

Eddie takes his lower lip between his teeth before smiling back at the guy and continuing without casting a second glance at Steve, “yeah, uh, give me a second, okay?” And he’s crossing the room without waiting for a response.

His chest. It feels…

Like those few seconds before plummeting down a rollercoaster… when your way up high, at the very top, the moment still with the anticipation of the fall, and there’s nowhere else to look but down.

You finally plummet and caught in the whiplash thinking you must have left your heart back at the top.

There’s static there on the bottoms of his feet and at the palm of his hands. The world goes a bit distant as he watches them.

Eddie’s leaning against the wall with a sultry smile adorning whatever sweet words he’s speaking.

Steve’s drowning in the honey, it’s palpable. doesn’t know if it’s better or worse that he can’t hear the words.

Eddie’s fiddling with a curl that’s draped over his shoulder, pulling it slightly over his face like a young school girl.

Steve doesn’t think he’s ever seen Eddie appear anything but confident and loud; the image of the person in front of him is foreign, strange.

Eddie’s speaking to him but his eyes are locked on the guy’s lips that are wet from the tongue that peaks to briefly lick them as he listens.

Eddie’s shoe is nudging the guys own, as he talks, playful.

Oh.

Oh.

Mouth dry, Steve’s throat clicks.

It’s hard to swallow.

The Hex should be allowed to steal a crappy van, load their shit up, Lettie's Rats, Kalymos, and go on a weekend road trip where they come back belting out Top Pop Songs of 1999 because they've been stuck listening to the Radio for the entire trip, and leave Viktor absolutely baffled by this

[yeehawpim]

I hope you aren't lonely even though they call you The Stranger

[notbecauseofvictories]

because I rent a car to get out to my office, sometimes I'm confronted with a radio that has wildly different preset stations than I would ever select. mostly this means I have to suffer through a lot of country, or christian talk radio, before I run out of patience and switch over to the stations I like; but other times, it's someone with a thick accent reading a very lengthy advertisement for the Chicago Public Library in an almost....computerized way? and then long carnatic music, with a celtic fiddle breakdown in the middle? with absolutely no explanation for why this is what it is.

.........only afterwards did I discover that it's the station for a nearby university. then it made sense.

[chasedeys]

Sometimes it becomes one of those games where it's like Ja'Marr is going crazy. Basically whatever the look is, I'm throwing it to him.

TUA SPOILERS!!!!! SUPER RANT BELOW

I liked most of this season but the fact that they have the GALL to present Five “falling in love” in an isolated, vulnerable situation- in the EXACT SAME WAY he coped in the first apocalypse (Ahem, Delores) and we’re supposed to accept that that’s his true feelings??? That he’s not just regressing into older coping mechanisms???

His actions would have been largely the same even if they had just been platonic love(only without the semi-cheating 🫶 and destruction of his relationship with his brother) but at the VERY LEAST they should’ve had him confront how he treats romance as a crutch??? They should’ve shown him realising that what he wants is a loving environment- WHICH HIS FAMILY CAN PROVIDE

(I’m really glad he’s pseudo confirmed as Bi tho. Wouldve semi-enjoyed any relationship with a guy or girl if it wasn’t HIS BROTHERS WIFE)

The complete walkthrough is too huge a video so here are just select highlights from our friend demonstrating her homemade escape room, really just three or four of a dozen puzzles @revretch and I found really fun and engaging! Friend is in engineering and spent her entire summer on just the light up map alone so I'm including her entire explanation of that part uncut. She isn't on social media but she hopes she gets nice comments and feedback anyway!

Reblog if you agree with us that she should consider doing this professionally, especially since this is a glimpse at how much she managed to build around a packed college schedule???

does five drive himself around in season 4. i want to see it.

cowards. show me his car

what is five’s daily driver? did he ever get a chance to buy his 1970’s corvette stingray? he should’ve. the old man deserves a nice car.

something about the thought of five parallel parking is so funny to me. i know he drives a few times throughout the seasons but picturing him doing certain tasks that surround driving is so entertaining

i want to see five with road rage. i just know he’s heavy on the horn bro. he’s absolutely cussing out the people around him and he 100% rolls down the windows to let them know he’s talking to them. you can’t look at five and tell me he hasn’t nearly gotten in a physical altercation due to a traffic backup and the guy in front of him being stupid or something

and i want to SEE IT. season 4 why couldn’t you give us five (road rage edition). i want.

part 2 of the drive! Gerome doesn't seem to mind too much yet

I'd mean a lot if I could get some ko-fi donations! Especially if you'd like to see this boy obliterated

Here's a link to my ko-fi!
