#i don't wanna clog the ship tags

"I'm just saying, if the heat bothers you so much, you could cut your hair" Nancy points out, after declining Eddie's pleas for her spare scrunchie.

Robin sits on Nancy's lap, clutching the back of Steve's seat and she looks at Steve through the side mirror like she's afraid that he's about to go on a mission to defend Eddie's honor or something but Steve rolls his eyes at her. He's not that gone.

Or at least he knows how to hide it well.

Eddie's lost several of Nancy's favorite hair accessories and two weeks ago she bowed to never lend him any ever again.

Which, does not stop Eddie from asking her anyway at least once a day.

But the point is, even if Steve wanted to, Eddie's honor cannot be defended in this situation.

Nancy's leaning behind Argyle's back now to glare at the metalhead. Steve can see them in the rearview mirror.

Eddie gasps "I would never" he says, clutching his chest dramatically.

Steve secretly breathes a sigh of relief.

Johnathan chuckles at the wheel. "But you could" he comments, eyes on the road.

Steve can see Argyle subtly laughing and shaking his head out of the corner of his eye.

Today is a rare occasion, Jonathan is driving them in Steve's car.

The goal of Steve's rant earlier about having to drive them everywhere was to get Eddie to drive them, so Steve could sit shotgun and watch Eddie drive.

Instead, Jonathan had offered first and then Steve couldn't go in the backseat because he's in charge of their map.

But whatever, this is fine too. He trusts Jonathan and it is nice to get a break and to be able to fully turn around when he's talking to someone in the backseat.

"Jon, I would lose all my sex appeal, you don't get it" Eddie answers, getting a box of Twinkies from one of the many bags they packed and placed on the floor of Steve's car.

"I get it" Argyle chimes in, watching Eddie pull out a Twinkie and shaking his head no when Eddie offers him one.

"You'd still be sexy with short hair" Robin comments from her seat on Nancy's lap.

Everyone turns to look at her.

"What?" she shrugs "I can say that"

Nancy chuckles into her shoulder.

Steve opens their map again to stop thinking about Eddie's 'sex appeal', even as the guy is excitedly munching on a Twinkie in the backseat of Steve's car.

He's got cream in the corner of his mouth and he clearly put more in his mouth than he can comfortably chew. He's leaning one elbow on Argyle's shoulder, his hand holding half a Twinkie, his other hand holds his mop of hair up in a high bun, causing his cut off tank to sit barely covering his nipples, his tattoos on display and his armpit hair fully visible.

Steve's fairly certain nobody else in this car would get it, but to him the sight is mouth watering. The guy is practically irresistible.

"I don't think i would've gone on even half the dates I've gone on if i didn't have my hair" Steve muses, for something to say and to add to Eddie's point, even though he agrees with Robin.

Almost everyone answers with agreeable noises, except Eddie and Robin.

Robin snorts and says "You are relentless"

While Eddie says "You don't get dates for your hair" at the same time. In a tone that suggests he thinks this is an obvious thing.

"I mean- it doesn't hurt" provides Nancy, she sends Steve an apologetic look but Steve waves her off. It's a compliment as far as he's concerned, he loves his hair.

Eddie finishes his treat and opens a new one while everyone else gives their opinions.

"For a lot of people, hair is a big part of attraction" Jonathan is saying, trying to seem like he's not speaking from experience.

"Especially hair as luscious as Steve's" Argyle agrees, leaning forward to lightly comb the side of Steve's hair, making him laugh.

"Thanks, man" Steve says overlapping Eddie's response.

"And I agree!" he exclaims "I'm saying he doesn't get dates because of his hair." Eddie goes on, waving his new Twinkie around for emphasis. "People throw themselves at Steve, and always will, but it's not because of his hair" he repeats.

Steve feels his cheeks heat up but still asks "Then why?"

"Well, because you're very pretty!" Eddie answers easily, like everyone should already know this.

Steve keeps his eyes carefully trained on the map, like he needs to study it meticulously, right this moment, while they're in the middle of a highway.

His cheeks are burning up and he can feel it spreading to his ears.

"And that's if they don't know you!" Eddie continues "If they do know you they know you're kind and brave and strong ...and generous and funny. Who wouldn't want all that in a date?" Eddie finshes.

Oh I don't know, you? Maybe? Do you? Steve thinks.

"Even bald, people would still go crazy for you" Eddie adds, his words slightly muffled towards the end as he shoves almost all of the new Twinkie in his mouth but apparently thinks better of it, biting all but a small piece.

"Here. You want the rest of this?" Eddie offers Steve, talking through his mouthful, and presenting the small piece with his ringed fingers, right in front of Steve's face.

Without thinking, Steve leans forward and takes it with his mouth, his lips burning where they touched Eddie's fingers.

As Eddie retrieves his hand Steve realizes what he just did and how quiet the car got.

He sends Robin a panicked look through the side mirror as Jonathan awkwardly clears his throat.

"Argyle's got nice hair" Robin tries.

The car immediately fills up with enthusiastic agreement and Steve slowly breathes out.

He can't bring himself to look at Eddie as he chews on his bite. He practically licked Eddie's fingers. Unprompted! The guy probably meant for Steve to grab the treat and then eat it. If he even accepted it at all!

Steve feels like an idiot and he frowns at the map again, willing himself to ignore the goosebumps in his arms and the tickling on his lips.

He doesn't see Eddie worriedly staring at him for the remaining of their conversation, until Nancy takes pity on him and offers up her spare scrunchie to distract him.

Every fandom got the...

[celtrist]

I just vented out a whole rant about how aromantisim is treated within Hazbin/helluva. I'm not really sure if I should post it for multiple reasons, one of which being I don't want anyone to feel targeted about it or take it the wrong way (like I honestly dont have beef with Al shippers. Gripes, but no beef as I also ship him on occasion).

There was just a sudden burst of frustration I had with it that I think was in part just came from built up frustration from other things. There's things I'd like to have out there, but I don't really think it'd get far or, again, be just taken the wrong way. I don't see a point in posting if people are gonna ignore it, plus it wouldn't change how things are now. If anyone has any thoughts or are curious let me know, but I don't wanna make anyone feel like shit or put a pointless rant out there no one wanted to see. I also wanna keep rants to a minimum as I know people aren't always into that sort of stuff, especially if you don't follow someone for that and you just get an influx of posts of them complaining. And I still want to keep things relatively light hearted around here, at best maybe just some critiques on things here and there.

It's late, I'm on my phone when I should probably just sleep it off, so sleep it off I will.

tenko taking these two goofballs on her morning bike ride and it's a disaster

[hurtcomforted]

(this is not written in bad faith, i promise, i'm mostly just confused)

I've seen a lot of antishippers complain about coming across untagged non-con and it always baffled me a little, because. I've been reading all kinds of fics for almost a decade and never had that happen, and based on how many people say they've had that experinece, it sounds like I've had insane, impossible amount of luck. Not to mention that non-con sounds like a pretty big thing - it's a whole separate ao3 warning - that I cannot wrap my head around the idea of someone just forgetting to tag it, or straight up deciding not to.

I've been scrolling tumblr trying to find something that would make it make sense in my head. So far, I've come across a person complaining about authors using "chose not to use any warnings" instead of actually warning for non-con because they don't want to filter it out and lose all the fics that use it, a couple people talking about it not being tagged in twitter/tumblr posts (which brings me back to square one and might be somewhat of a different thing), and one person specifying that they hate when the author doesn't tag NC when characters don't ask for consent before kissing.

Is that what everyone means? Because I can admit that I can't remember the last time I read a fic where that happened, and not really even one where the characters had a consent talk before fucking, but in all of them, it was also pretty clear that the kiss wasn't unwanted either before or soon after it happened.

But. Is that what everyone is talking about? I am just so fucking confused but I really want to get it, someone please help.

playing around with some 1pc ships and their quadrants

(characters drawn by me, forgot to watermark so just... please don't repost/edit/etc)

explanations under cut:

zolu are the main relationship between these two characters. they are primarily in a moirallegiance and only ever vacillate between that and flush when koby is there (more on him later). they've only flipped pitch once during whisky peak (nami auspisticed for them).

zoluko is more of a passive rarepair to me, they're long-distance/on-and-off bfs. both Luffy and Zoro's individual relationships with him are a mix of flush and pale and they end up acting flush around each other too when all three of them are together. Luffy and koby are also kismesis (the dichotomy of being someone's first friend in the entire show and also their parallel/rival).

zo//san is a... complicated ship for me. the tldr would be that I just don't like it but unfortunately they do intrigue me at the same time. people can't tell if they're kismesis or just hate friends and I don't think they know themselves half the time. they are however pitch exclusively with each other. any vacillation between other quadrants (esp flush. they pull of pale in rare circumstances) would destabilise their relationship.

usopp and sanji are flush obviously. slow burn friends to lovers. it's quite beautiful actually. sanji also has a longstanding flush crush on Luffy but idk if it's required or not rip.

usopp and Kaya were pale exclusively for the longest time but over the events of the syrup village arc Kaya developed flush feelings for him too.

this is more reaching into their opla dynamics but. Kaya <> Nami??? the scenes where they comfort and connect with each other?? Kaya always complimenting and just being so happy to be around her??? nami reciprocating after their feelings jam talk in her room??? I love it.

moving onto nami. namivivi is obviously in flushed. I love them so much. srry I don't have much to say on the flush pairings they are just in love and that's beautiful.

nami and tashigi are also a fun pair to me. they're kismesis in a similar way to Luffy and koby, but instead of an 'iron sharpens iron'/'be a good pirate//be a good marine' way it's more a cat-and mouse like dynamic. helped by tashigi's circumstances as smokers underling who has that same kinda dynamic w Luffy. (she also has this dynamic w zoro but In a platonic manner. tho pitch zo//tash is an interesting idea hmm 🤔). the flush vacillation comes from the fact that despite them being on opposing sides. they like each other alot too. Nami finding comfort in tashigi the same way she does her mother, a 'strong but gentle lady marine'. and her in return being the only person to really treat tashigi like a person and with respect on PH.

please feel SO free to ask me questions or talk to me about my shippings charts if you want to. it's so fun to me

[xerith-42]

Guys I'm so dumb. Why am I calling them Blazein as the ship name and tag? What the fuck is wrong with me?

Obviously their ship name is White Milk and Bacon.

I will correct this egregious mistake post haste

[theangrypomeranian]

so I commed the amazingly talented @king-cotton-candy for this scene from my Don’t Worry Darling AU one shot you better leave (it's not safe in here). please go check out her blog, she's such an incredible artist. AJ, you're the best and I feel so lucky to have you as a friend. 💖🫂

Shipping Identification Thingie For Alternate Ship Character Peoples

(Using the "Meta Knight x Galacta Knight"/"MetaGala" ship as an example, this is mostly for me but feel free to also use my system!)

- If the ship appears in the normal universe, it's "MetaGala"

- If the ship appears in your dark/depressed/edgy version of the normal universe, or if it's the dark/depressed/edgy version of the normal universe characters, it's "Dark MetaGala" or "Mirror MetaGala"

- If the ship appears in your universe where the normal universe characters are robots/animatronics, depending on the condition of the characters then it will either be "Animatronic MetaGala/Robo-MetaGala" (normal), "Fixed MetaGala" (broken then repaired), or "Broken/Withered MetaGala" (currently broken)

re: your tags on the stancy meta, pls never apologise for clogging my tags especially when what you're saying is Correct And Real 🙏 (plus you articulated the "Prescribed Happy Ending™" aspect of forcing stancy to happen again WAYYYYY better than I did so thank you kindly for putting it into words lmao)

sorry for the late answer to this wHOOPS--

But I'm glad the tags were welcome!! I tend to keep my meta thoughts to myself bc I get anxious about sharing them in case I'm Wrong but sometimes I slip them into the tags xD

And like, I'm not a huge Nancy fan (don't get me wrong, I like her!! I'm not a hater!!) but I find her a really, really interesting and complex character and when I saw her and Steve being shoved together again in s4 I was so disappointed because it feels like going backwards for both of them!! They've made so many strides and grown a lot since s1 and I think the writers/Duffers would have to do a lot of work in s5 to fully convince me that S/tancy is a viable endgame without it being that Prescribed Happy Ending, and I'm not confident they'd do that 😅

[disgruntleddemon]

It's a hard time to be a fan of wwdits who's not intrested in ofmd or good omens 😔✊

[maukuja]

oh. oh I got blocked by a mutual because of a misunderstanding with another blog. hm. well that sucks.

[mememan93]

hm.

[feralsteddie]

hey! not to be overbearing but i've thought about that snippet of the serial killer fic since you posted it, is there anything else you can share about the plot/ship stuff/anything? thank you!

Oh ty nonnie ahhh i wasnt expecting people to actually be into this when i made the post originally, but you're so good it's not overbearing i promise!!! 🥺

Uhhh so first off it's a no Upside Down AU, but I have the firm belief that Hawkins is a cursed little town, so there's a bunch of fucked up shit still happening there (obviously), just, no interdemensional monsters and stuff.

It's kind of a wide timeline for all the little scenes I wrote. i think i have it spread over a little under a decade? but not every year is heavily focused on if that makes sense.

It's mainly a steddie fic, obvs, but canon stancy is in there for a little while, as well as temporary rockie, but endgame ships are Steddie, Buckingham, and v background Jancy

It v much plays up Eddie's Us vs Them mentality, Steve acting like a pretty little airhead while playing 3D mental chess, and Robin being a little bit insane

[strawberrysweater]

man i forgot how good i had it with homestuck bc my favorite ship was/is jaderosekan.... still very much a rarepair but there's SO much good fanart and fanfic of them if you dig for it!! like polyam fanart of all three of them it's wonderful... and now on the other hand with saiibomatsu........... i need to have money so so bad so i can commission people aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA
