#get along shirt?

[alwaysurvalentine]

🫣 okay, so maybe I wrote a lil something for this? I just thought it was such a cute idea - they're so sweet to each other.

~ Eddie’s been pretending to read for the last thirty minutes. It’s not like he’s really missing anything, this will be just about the hundredth time he’s cracked open his worn copy of The Silmarillion. Steve’s sitting on the opposite end of the couch facing the TV. Earlier he’d knocked on the door with a sheepish smile and a paper bag full of diner food. One of the benefits of having a boyfriend who worked as a server was getting lots of free food when he got off shift. 

Steve had looked tired when he walked in, flopping onto the couch for a moment before digging in. Now the only evidence of the burgers and fries he bought were empty wrappers on the able. He’s been working two jobs for a month now, trying to save up for a place big enough for Eddie and Robin to move into with him. It worries Eddie a little bit, seeing Steve leave early for one shift just to come home late in a different uniform. He’s been trying to help where he can, but selling’s been out of the question now that he’s in the same circle as Hopper and he can’t be on his feet for too long now. Once he’s got some more physical therapy under his belt he might be able to do more than just sitting at the counter at Music Warehouse hoping everyone finds what they were looking for. 

Again, Steve’s head tilts down slowly before he jerks up. He blinks slowly at the TV. Eddie knows if he asked about the game Steve wouldn’t have a clue on how to answer him. Time for an intervention. 

Luckily, he’s got just the thing. See, this isn’t the first time Steve’s fought sleep. Eddie’s confident it’s not going to be the last time either. So the last time he’d gone to the thrift store, he couldn’t leave without the solution to all of his problems. 

A deep navy blue sweater that’s about five sizes too big. He’d almost missed it in his hunt for a thick flannel for Wayne. But the texture had stopped his hand and despite it’s size, Eddie knew he had to have it. 

He gets up to search for it now, setting his book to the side and stretching. Steve’s eyes cut over to him, but he doesn’t comment on Eddie moving. As much as Eddie would like to think it’s because he’s struck the other boy speechless, he knows it’s because there isn’t a single thought circling Steve’s head right now. And that’s okay because he loves him thoughts or not. 

The sweater is just as soft as he remembers when he pulls it from his closet. It genuinely just looks like a pile of fabric when he carries it into the living room. Steve’s head is tilted back this time, neck bent harshly and arms crossed over his chest. 

“Hey, Stevie?” Even though he says it softly, Steve jolts and winces when his neck pops at the movement. “Wanna take a nap?” He can tell Steve wants to deny it, claim he’s fine like he always does – but then hazel eyes notice the blue sweater in Eddie’s hands.

“Hm? What’s that, baby?” Steve always calls him sweet things when he’s half asleep, words mumbling over endearments like syrup on waffles. Eddie grins at the question and starts to slip the sweater on.

“Oh this? This is my nap sweater. It’s sooo comfy. But you know what would make it better?” It’s just as big as he thought it would be, sleeves draping past his hands and the bottom hem landing in the middle of his thigh. Steve tilts his head in question, small smile tugging at his lips. “If someone would cuddle up with me and make sure I don’t fall off the couch. Don’t know if you know anyone that would do that? Because my boyfriend said he wasn’t tired so I’d hate for him to be bored.” Eddie knows he’s won when Steve finally gives in and smiles dopily at him, already shifting towards the other end of the couch where Eddie sat earlier. 

“I think that could be arranged. All you had to do was ask.” Eddie rolls his eyes but steps closer, taking his spot and stretching the length of the couch. Steve’s sitting up still, eyes soft when he looks at Eddie. He takes a moment to turn the TV off with a click and barks a laugh when he turns back to see Eddie holding the hem of his sweater up. 

“C’mon then. Get in here.” 

~

The trailer door swings open quietly and Eddie hears Wayne undoing his laces. Boots are set to the side and then his uncle’s face comes into view. A gentle grin spreads on Wayne’s face, but the older man says nothing, just shakes his head and keeps on walking towards the kitchen. Steve had opted to sleep against Eddie’s chest, so it looks like Eddie’s got thick brown chest hair protruding from his collar and a tangle of legs. He can’t bring himself to complain. Especially not when Steve snuffles in his sleep and nuzzles against his chest. Eddie presses a quick kiss to Steve’s head and leans back, comforted by the weight of Steve and the sounds of Wayne in the kitchen.

Between one blink and the next, Eddie joins him again and dreams.

You know those big "get along" sweaters where two people in an argument wear together? This but Eddie buy a huge well loved sweater on a thrift store so he and Steve can wear it to take a nap together

It's a way to make Steve REST because he insists he's fine but he's actually so tired. But he won't deny Eddie anything so 🫵 mandatory nap time

Tough.

Lil thing I had in my head last night so got it sketched up rq on my break. Loosely based on another thing I’m working on but that’s not important rn lol

Bonus:

Wars and Wild as knights in Lu

They have issues.

I have a lot of thoughts on Wild and Wars and their relationship (Order of this post is talking about saluting, Wild and Wars' different perspectives, memory issues, and fire) Rant time.

No saluting!!

So Wild took a formal- almost/awkwardly saluting pose when Wars confronted him in 'Entrance pt.2'

It's similar to the first time Wild addressed Wars as 'captain'. His left hand is up from where a salute should be, and his overall posture is awkward, with his shoulders and right hand raised, but it's clear he's trying to do a salute in the presence of a fellow knight.

In the second example his hand is behind his head, but his posture is very straight and his right arm stiff- he's again attempting a formal saluting position. Which is still awkward

It is less clear but his changes in posture clued me in. He goes from like a deer in the headlights to visibly sweating to straight backed and looking up at Wars- looking at the changes in his body language

Side note but I literally love how Jojo draws the champions tunic so much-

We can't see the action of Wild's body language in a comic, just the positions he went to. But he visibly leaned away from Wars before switching to a straight backed saluting-like posture. He's clearly freaked out, hence Twilight's face: >:(

I think that Wild taking somewhat military poses around Wars is important to their relationship issues because it comes from his struggle with memory and identity

.

So like. All of them have different perspectives

Wars

I adore Wars. He is baby and I love him. I think it is also important to acknowledge that he would not speak to any of the others this way.

And the scarf man cmon it's so pretty they are so cute-

Why is Wars talking to Wild like this? He's called him out and reprimanded him multiple times in front of the others. Wild has taken it well but tbh if it was Legend I think he would be on fire.

To some extent I think he is in captain mode. I think that he has trouble seeing Wild as not a knight. Wars gives Wild respect as a knight who sacrificed for his kingdom, but now it seems he's taking it away as a knight who's not doing well enough since he 'disregarded the plan'

At least I think that's the outside (or Wild's) view of it. But Wars internally really cares about Wild and he saw him run up to a giant and lose it. Different ways of showing concern perhaps?

Who wouldn't want to keep Wild from getting more scars?

I just. Don't doubt for a second Wars really cares about Wild- even if the way he's acting still isn't cool. He has no right to treat him like a soldier any more than the rest of the chain, and right now I think Wild is acting as the more mature person.

Wild

I adore Wild. He is baby and I love him. I think it is also important to acknowledge that although he is clearly making efforts after Twilight's injury, Wild has ignored Wars for the majority of Lu, by not speaking to him much, and not thanking or acknowledging Wars when he directly helped him. (Small example being walking with Hyrule not Wars when injured and not directly responding to Wars)

Wars cares about and respects Wild, but it seems Wild wants nothing to do with him, and he's been cold towards Wars for the majority of Lu. To Wild, Wars reminds him of his perceived failure. Which is valid feelings, but still not fair. And I think that ask is talking about these two.

The thing I love about this is each of them are right and wrong in some ways, leading to the tension between them. So fully blaming either of them is not logical

The rest of the chain is just vibing. Except twilight who's mad and wants them to just grow up, but. Heros of courage not wisdom @uniquevoidflowers ;)

And that ask- '''Are any of the Links ever jealous of another Link for adventures that were less difficult/life threatening?'' ''When you hear Wild say he 'hates' someone you'll have your answer.''' somewhat leads to my next point-

Wild's identity and memory issues exacerbate all of this

In Entrance, Twilight is being stressed and defensive, that's ok. What concerns me most is that Twilight has talked with Wild through stuff like this in his rough moments

Wild has tried to be formal several times- he is not very good at it

Four's face I can't didnwidkekfjej

Wild isn't and can't be 'him'- the same 'perfect' (<actually has crippling anxiety) knight he was before, and Twilight knows this. And I agree with him a bit, I think, that Wars is making things worse in Wild's mind by being that perfect soldier, and seemingly holding Wild to a standard he isn't

Wild's attempts at saluting is symbolic of that- Wars makes him feel like a failure trying to be the person he should be. But Wild shouldn't be anyone but himself.

Anyways. Fire.

Wars and Wild have issues, and I want them to work through all their relationship drama so they can reach their PEAK dynamic, which is obviously this

I mean like. We need these two to be friends

Anyways. Wild is in this constant state of identity crisis, and being around Wars has not been beneficial- neither of them is or has been showing the other the respect they deserve. Not as knights, but as people and brothers. They need a get along shirt.

welcome back to the yearly 'clown on dainsleif (affectionate)' hour !!!

Just a couple of dudes cursed with really broad shoulders.

Maddie Nolan is my beloved. You do not understand the level of cute aggression I get from looking at her, she is stunning.

However every media analyst neurone in my head is screaming at me that she’s not making it out alive. she will die for the sake of teaching Caitlyn a lesson. Just the amount of young plucky idealism and looking up to Caitlyn and vi is screaming death flags to me.

I would put money on her dying as a result of Caitlyn making an ill advised attack because of Ambessa, and this leading to Caitlyn and vi making up and comforting one another.

A sketch because I hc they don't get along (totally not based on a gameplay I had with a friend playing Poppy)

The Talking Hammer ™ implies that the covert has had a meeting that ended with someone getting their shit rocked after running their mouth when they didn’t have the Talking Hammer ™

[jadedwoman]

Me and another girl being put in a large shirt, forced to press our boobs up against each other. At first we continue arguing like before but now, every small movement makes our nipples ache with pleasure, our soft bodies squished together as I can't hide my own moans. Eventually, I watch as she savors the feeling as well, the both of us embracing and pushing our breasts together purposefully, moaning at the feeling of our nipples flicking against each other. The sight of the others breasts jiggling around eventually makes us drop deep into trance, just greedily groping and rubbing against the other, not even caring about our argument anymore. By the time we finally are woken back up, we're so pleasure drunk we keep up the groping anyway. Maybe it wasn't the intended way, but the get along shirt sure did wonders~

[1spooky2me]

It’s on sight with them 24/7
