#i've just been lurking and reblogging

[lemonssnickers]

can't believe it's already the third anniversary of me completely missing all the destiel putin election fun because my coworkers were on a mission to get me drunk at my 21st birthday dinner

[shares-a-vest]

Everybody knows Eddie has a way with nicknames. Everyone gets a pet name from Eddie to the point he basically never says anyone's real name.

And Steve gets an array of them. More than anyone else. Sweetheart. Sugarplum. Stevie. Multiple pet names all strung together in quick succession. Very rarely he's Harrington. That one is typically reserved for when Eddie is being a total bitch and they are fighting. King Steve, of course. He still doesn't love it, but at least now it is said with affection instead of sarcasm and contempt.

Meanwhile, Steve's over here simply calling his boyfriend Eds. Okay, maybe he said 'babe' one time in the presence of Lucas, Mike and Dustin and he's never heard the end of it.

It's kinda lame and he rather die than explain it to anyone (or have anyone else hear it), but Steve sees Eddie as his Prince. It's a pet name Eddie hasn't used, which is surprising considering there is a side DND character who is a Prince that bares embarrassingly detailed physical similarities to Steve.

Eddie is the Prince who came and swept him off his feet when he was at his loneliest.

Again, kinda lame. And pathetic.

Unfortunately, Steve blurts out said name in the least romantic setting possible: the back storeroom of Family Video.

They're in the back looking for the copy of Top Gun Steve had stashed away for them to take home. The waitlist was a month long and Keith enforced a strict 'no employees on the waitlist' policy, even though he definitely took a copy for himself.

"Holy shit," Eddie says, staring at the VHS cover of Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis.

Steve hands it over. "I reserved it under the fake account Rob and I have."

It was basically his only option considering Keith's flimsy rule and Eddie being banned from the store a few years back. Thank God they didn't have security cameras or else Steve would have been fired a hundred times over by now.

"Whoa," Eddie says with the wide-eyed wonder of a kid, holding the VHS in his hands like it is the most precious and delicate thing in the world.

"Anything for my Prince," Steve coos, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek.

He pulls back, staring. Oh god. He really just said that out loud.

Eddie blinks, clearly taking a moment to compute (or willing to tear his eyes away from ogling the back cover image of Val Kilmer). He quirks a brow, turning to look at Steve, a sly smile tugging at the corner of his mouth and accentuated by the scar that runs along the left side of his jaw.

"So that makes you the damsel in distress?" he says more than asks, glee in his eyes.

Shit, Steve really hadn't thought of it that way. Trust him to come up with a pet name that immediately made him vulnerable to teasing.

Before he can think of what to say, Eddie is scooping him up bridal-style. He promptly loops his arms around Eddie's neck when he feels his legs teetering on the spot at the cramped and awkward angle, wedged between Keith's desk and a shelving unit.

"Don't worry, Princess!" Eddie declares in dramatic fashion. "The Prince is here to save you from your dungeon and that wretched oaf."

He laughs hysterically as he sways Steve about.

"Stop!" Steve laughs, kicking and sending a stack of VHSs toppling to the ground.

"I shan't!" Eddie yells, his voice echoing through the small space. "Not until I have you in the safety of my bed chambers!"

"This wasn't supposed to happen!" Steve giggles as Eddie swings him around, sending more tapes flying.

I've said it before, and I'm gonna say it again: I love OFMD and the OFMD fandom.

There's so much awesome art and thoughtful meta on my dash! The cosplays are magnificent! There's more well-written fanfic than I could ever possibly read! You maniacs make beautiful gifs -- and you're so quick about it! The tags on every post are gold, there's always someone ready to add alt text to images, and I've never seen so much fundraising and charity in a fandom!

The fandom isn't perfect -- no fandom is -- but there's a lot of love and kindness and supportiveness here that I haven't encountered anywhere else.

Thank you for being here. <3

Intro:

(i'll just put it at the bottom so i remember to delete it)

I have been hoarding all of these (there are like 1000 more in my draft and queue lol) for a while now in my draft bc even tho they are like 3 note gifs, they are historical artefacts to meeee.

Anyway, I've got a cold, and so to occupy myself, I decided to just make a blog so that everything can be organised and easy (ish, this is tumblr after all) to find!

I know heaps of my fellow ✨motogp tumblrinas ✨have made archives for their favs, and you are all braver than me, bc I would lose all the gifs immediately if I tried to create new archival posts. So I just reblogged everything and am going to hope for the best in terms of copyright lol

But yeah, these aren't just my favs. This is more just a snapshot of the fandom at different periods. I only reblogged the deactivated ones, but, y'all, use the posts as little gateways to blogs from that time period, it is FACINATING.

As always, peer review is welcome! If i completely messed up a tag (very likely, since i used the mass tag editor), you're welcome to let me know. Also if there's a ship tag, fun tag or something you want me to add in the mass tag editor, lemme know! more than happy to add literally anything ✨✨

I only started this today, so it's very much a work in progress! All the things without a link are because the posts that match up with them are in the queue. I also need to add the ones i forgot

[vandalizedheart]

a lil late night reminder: no matter how you choose to run your blog, or how you may write your muse, you have a place here. as long as you're having fun and finding joy through having a roleplay blog, that's all that matters in the end. <3

[raredrop]

within a day i have learned that (mentions of: transphobia, religion, and zionism)

the pokerogue lead dev stepped down bc the game was in the way of his family and faith

also feeling guilty of the games addictive nature

caused the entire discord to explode with hate speech

mods of said discord banning people for saying "trans rights" but not the people being transphobic bc.....it was... making people uncomfortable (indirect quote from reddit so)

contributors in the discord using ablest slurs

contributor on the team is a zionist, allowed to stay bc "they needed all the help they could get"

lead dev had a private conversation leaked that was just a long-winded way of saying hes transphobic and homophobic bc of GOD'S WAY!!!!! (this probably lead to the above)

one of the reddit moderators getting banned bc he was defending Sam (lead dev) or whatever

ppl complaining about being banned from the discord for being zionists

everything getting shoved into the same no hate speech no politics ect rules no matter what side it was on

other classic reddit things like trans ppl getting told not to talk about being trans bc "its private information i wouldn't care even if you were my bf" (another indirect quote)

ppl saying to not trust the doc anyway bc the guy is apparently racist (all ive seen was a screen of him saying u cant be racist towards white men.....im white so uhhh no comment!) but this is all from reddit so you know how it is

hearing other things like the remaining dev team being incomplete or power tripping idk

the discord being deleted all together

heres the doc idk how long it will be up

i don't know who is still left on the team as it was handed over to others on the team when Sam left and i don't know anything about them that hasn't been mentioned

edit: jk a lot more of the devs are transphobic

[demidolll]

hey actually i am NOT a lurker at heart i'm just scared of being perceived

[byanyan]

the amount I've been hoarding away some of the memes I've seen on the dash over the last week or so is so not okay for someone with as many drafts as me ashfjdh

[ricoka]

I do still often wonder why I still feel the need for approval from the Capri fandom when I don't really get it, or only get it partially before it's snatched away again for unknown reasons

while everyone else just seems to bathe in it

[cockworkangels]

there's over 50 000 posts in this blog. that's 50 000 posts too much

[xviruserrorx]

Please people put some type of icon image and reblog things PLEASE, especially with the influx of bots it is very VERY hard to tell the difference between an actual person and a bot especially if your blog looks barren... I really don't want to accidentally report someone or block them when they are a human being who is interacting with my blog

[thestarmaker]

Queuing this post for the minute my blog becomes a decade old <3 I've been here so long now

[thebetatales]

Ah I remember this movie. Surprisingly decent for a 3D anime movie. Music was pretty good. For those I see wondering, its One Piece 3D: Mugiwara Chase.

Zoro slaughters an entire army to save his boyfriend.

[ilkkawhat]

i queued up some of my alan wake likes and again...some.

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

Heylo my maggotsies... I'm sorry to do this but I have a thing that I really, really need to do (thank you Ash for helping me realise that) but I'm terrified to. so well. I'm going to make one of the posts (Neil reblogged me a couple of days ago so I feel pretty safe making one now since he only lurks by once in two weeks so this is as good a time as it gets to make a post and not expect many notes, yes I'm an overthinker and I'm actually scared of this getting notes).

Sigh. Here goes.

...I'm scared of even typing it.

Nope okay I can do this let's go.

If this post gets 1k notes, I'll look up jobs in design and film making that don't need a college degree.

2k notes, I'll sign up for an Alliance Francaise course so I can have another language on my CV, and I'll find a course that teaches me how to use design software.

5k, I'll look up distance learning alternatives, because just talking about physical college yesterday made me spend the whole morning and afternoon today in and out of nightmares screaming. Fuck.

10k, I'll tell my mum that I can't do the offline college. She's been talking to me about it, but I've been dodging because I'm not well-off and I really need to be earning and idk how to do that without college and I feel so guilty.

15k, I'll officially back out from the college (does that count as dropping out, if it hasn't begun? maybe half. i am a college and a half dropout, my 11th grade self would hate me and my 10th grade self would refuse to believe it).

I don't know what I'll do then. I don't know how to live as trans here in India, I don't know how to earn enough to be able to help my family, I don't know what I'm good at and I'm so fucking terrified. But. I spoke to @random-doctor-on-the-internet last night (I love you Ash you're such a fucking amazing human) and they made me realise that well maybe landing in a hospital with steroids to relieve an allergy attack because of exam stress isn't normal and so.

Well. Here I am. I know I can't do it, but I'm scared to risk everything, it's just not something people do here, dropping out. But also (TW s**cide statistics mentioned below the cut)... And so I've just. Got to do it, got to save myself and say no to college (cue say no to school, kids joke). Somehow be brave enough. And yeah.

To quote a financial express article: "In an alarming situation, a total of 7,62,648 suicides were reported in India between 2018 to 2022, Of this student suicides account for 7.6% at 59,239". Maybe if more people did say fuck you to the system here, that wouldn't be the case. That number could have been 59,240 (aside from everyone who wasn't counted and hushed up), that could have been me, and I don't want to put myself in that situation again. You know? Yeah.

[tarmac-rat]

I am so bad at expressing it because I've really automated my queue system using the tag bundles feature on XKit, but I'm gonna make a self-reminder to make more of an effort to leave nicer tags on people's shit that I reblog. I really do admire the fandom's creativity so much and I am AWFUL at expressing it most of the time because my tag bundles are so brainless.........gotta rewire some mental pathways going forward, especially with the DLC coming on the horizon.
