#i am not doing more with this

[fairysteve]

not to have more thoughts about the legally blonde au but

steve is a cosmetology major (fashion related minor? maybe?)

he's dating a girl that his parents introduced him to (he's trying to repair his relationship with his mum, and occasionally his dad acknowledges that he exists long enough to introduce him to his business associates' daughters)

she's surprisingly lovely, wants to go to medical school and become a surgeon, got along with robin and dustin (the only people who's opinions matters)

steve's actually in love, completely supports her, and he think she loves him too (he should have realised-)

they're celebrating their anniversary and steve hasn't bought a ring (his dad promised him his grandmother's ring and he hasn't been able to get it yet) but he's still working up to propose

except. she dumps him. calls him cute, but she doesn't consider him mature enough for the future she's envisioning. she wants to win the nobel prize for her work in the medical field, and steve seems happy playing around with hair. she says this'll be good for them.

steve has become a much better person since high school and he loves cosmetology, has really settled in his own skin. but he's also a massive bitch and she broke his heart in ways only comparable to nancy.

how hard can the mcat really be anyway? (his dad supports the change in career, his mum worries because she's starting to know steve)

robin and dustin both think he's being ridiculous but they help him study over the phone during their free time and then in person over spring break

and steve not only gets a good score for the mcat, he gets into the exact same class as this girl

he's not interested in winning her back, just in proving that he's more than cute. but he's over the top sweet towards her, wants her to want him so that he can let her down.

medical school sucks tho. it's full of people who looks down at him for how he dresses, how he acts. the kind of people his dad wants him to befriend. steve wants to be himself and still prove everyone wrong. (...passive aggressive charm?)

his ex is actually the one to invite him to a café, says he's welcome to join their study group. steve thinks he's started to prove himself and study group just sounds good in general, so he goes.

his ex and her group of friends do their absolute best to humiliate him, to make him drop out. they talk down to him, ignore him, accidentally-on-purpose elbow him. someone spills his drink and it ruins his sweater.

meanwhile on the small stage the café has, eddie has been playing some acoustic versions of songs he's working on. it's part of his songwriting process to try things out in public before finishing them. and all he sees is this cute guy (that he's not sure he recognises) having honestly the worst day.

so eddie finishes up his song and decides to buy the guy a new drink at the very least. maybe try some soft flirting, because he can't tell at a glance if the guy is straight or not. (he's not, steve has been out as bisexual to his friends since he first heard the word, and he knew he liked more since '85)

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

[catmask]

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

YOU MUST TRY TO LOVE YOURSELF WHEN NOTHING ELSE DOES. THIS WILL BE THE HARDEST PART

doylist explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: probably something about space constraints and making sure two sprites in one seat aren't covering anyone else when they're not in focus

watsonian explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: he snuck in and is hiding from the teachers, don't give him away 🤫

(I've reached my limit of unsuccessful attempts at pulling them before I need to save keys for Halloween, so I've been living vicariously through youtube videos...but the fact that Gidel just pops up from under the desk to wave his arms around happily is really testing my resolve. D: I'm gonna die when they finally get to do alchemy...)
