His touch was gentle, his lips were soft and he was so desperate to feel you against him – you were just as desperate and the kiss just showed how much you still love him, how much you still want him, how much you crave him even after everything that happened between you both. But, not even the passion of the kiss could erase the things he had done to you.
SCREAMING CRYING PERFECT STORRRMRMMMSSS.

“I-I wasn’t – I wasn’t thinking about how much I would hurt you again a-and, I-I just wanted, no, needed to kiss you again. I messed up, I was a selfish prick. And I promise, it won’t happen again if you don’t want it.” He is pleading with his eyes as he looks down at you, “I loved every second of it b-but I shouldn’t have done it. I-I just, please forgive me, dolly.” KJSDHFKJHLLLLLLLLLLLLL IM NOT OKAY. USING, DOLLY TOO?!??
“I won’t ever do it again,” he says, even though kissing you is all he wants to do. “I just, I don’t want to lose you again.”

“Thanks for the call, sweetheart,” he says sarcastically, furrowing his brows with a fake smile on his lips, “I mean for thanks for letting me know that you got home safe. Oh and super nice of you to keep ignoring my calls all day too.” OHHH EDDIE IS SO SALTY LMAO. HES GONNA FLIP TF OUT ONCE HE FINDS OUT NOOOOOOO!!!
But you and Eddie are just friends, right? girlie, i have SOMETHING to tell you!
“Yeah, I can see that,” he mumbles, glancing at Steve.
Steve rolls his eyes at Eddie’s attitude. *puts on my swiftie delusional clown makeup* what the hell they are sooo in love. wtf they want each other soooo bad.
“You two will be menaces to each other.” Andy is it too delulu for me to think this is a nod off to me bc i always say they are such menaces to each other?!?!? CAN I FINALLY SAY I AM IN THE IKYLLATK UNIVERSE?!?!?! (im kidding)
“I always wanted to take your girl for a ride.” these lil idiots LMAOOO.
“Hey there, co-worker,” Steve says, unable to hold back his chuckle. She slumps back, looking very miserable before her eyes light up and she sits back up, “wait! Does that mean that you have to wear one of those sailor uniforms too?” At that, Steve groans and looks away. “Sailor uniforms?” YES YES YES. FINALLY WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Eddie feels like someone had dropped a bucket of ice cold water over him. He freezes and halts in his tracks, eyes widening as he feels his heart sinking to his stomach. “W-What?” Eddie mumbles. NOOO MY POOR BABY.

“Get your fucking jealousy in check before you keep hurting her!” Steve yells over the harsh rain that is falling. “She is not – I-I’m not..” “Yes, you fucking are.

series masterlist
-
You can’t explain the awful feeling in your stomach or the suffocating feeling in your chest.
You have trouble understanding why it all feels so wrong when it’s all you have dreamed of for so long. Steve kissed you in a way he had never kissed you before, not even when you had just started dating did he kiss you with so much passion and love the way he did last night.
His touch was gentle, his lips were soft and he was so desperate to feel you against him – you were just as desperate and the kiss just showed how much you still love him, how much you still want him, how much you crave him even after everything that happened between you both. But, not even the passion of the kiss could erase the things he had done to you.
The moment it all caught up to you, the moment something else came to your mind, you pushed him away and you ran, you ran away from him and now you feel guilty for it but you couldn’t stay, you couldn’t stick around any longer.
You found Robin and Chrissy, blabbering out what happened to you before you begged them to take you home.
Now, you are laying in your bed, staring up at the white ceiling. You’re glad that you haven’t had much alcohol last night. The sharp pain in your lower stomach is already bad enough, you wouldn’t want to deal with both a headache and the awful cramps.
You don’t know how, but you manage to drag yourself out of the comfort of your bed. When the pain in your stomach gets sharper, you suddenly regret the plans that you had made with your friends for today.
Your heart leaps to your throat when your phone starts ringing. You don’t bother to hurry down the stairs to pick it up. You know who it is but you aren’t ready to talk to him.
Eddie had done nothing wrong, he had never done anything wrong.
But the thought of talking to him or even facing him fills you with an awful feeling, one that you can’t describe. You know you can’t run from it, you had made plans with Robin, Chrissy and Eddie.
You let the phone ring and disappear into the bathroom, you close the door and drown out the voice of the shrill sound.
You hope that a hot shower will help you get rid of that sickening feeling but your mind can’t rest and every time you think back to that kiss, you feel that immense guilt. Why? You wanted it, you wanted it just as much as he did.
Steve is single and so are you, there is not a reason for you to feel guilty about something that you had wanted for so long.
Or, maybe you feel guilty for doing this to yourself… again. Because why are you letting him back in? Why are you giving him the chance to hurt you again?
It doesn’t matter how he feels about you, it doesn’t matter how much he loves you, it doesn’t matter, not anymore.
He hurt you too many times for you to just let him back into your life like this.
You cannot give him the chance to hurt you again.
The clock strikes 2 when the doorbell rings. You furrow your brows when you look at the watch on your vanity, the one you never wear. Eddie is always on time when it comes to you but never when he picks up Robin first, she is always running late. You take one last look at yourself, fluffing out your hair a little more before you drop the lipgloss on the table. You smoothe down your skirt and reach for your little purse, picking out your favorite cardigan on the way out.
The doorbell rings again when you walk down the stairs, “I’m coming!” You sigh.
When you open the door, you don’t expect to see him on the other side. The smile that tugged at your lips instantly falls and tension arises in your body.
“Hi.”
Steve.
Your shoulders slump as you take in the sight of him. The soft and apologetic eyes, the hopeful look in his features. The messy hair.
“Hey,” you whisper.
“C-Can we talk?”
You’d rather not. The fear that he will pull you back in is too big.
“What about?”
You keep holding onto the door, staring at him as you try to calm the feeling in your chest. He had already walked you home last night, even though you tried to protest against it, he could’ve talked to you then but he stayed quiet, you did too.
He licks his lips as he looks down nervously. The atmosphere around you had changed yet again. You were ready to let him back into your life. You smiled at him again, you talked to him again, you wanted to be his friend – he ruined it all with a kiss and he knows it.
“I-I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
As you look into his eyes, you know, you just know, he is genuine about it. There’s remorse lingering in them and fear – fear of losing you again.
“Steve,” you sigh.
“I-I wasn’t – I wasn’t thinking about how much I would hurt you again a-and, I-I just wanted, no, needed to kiss you again. I messed up, I was a selfish prick. And I promise, it won’t happen again if you don’t want it.” He is pleading with his eyes as he looks down at you, “I loved every second of it b-but I shouldn’t have done it. I-I just, please forgive me, dolly.”
Steve had never begged for forgiveness when you were still together, he had done so many awful things, he hurt you so many times but he never begged for forgiveness, he just dismissed them and moved on and acted like he had never done anything wrong.
“I won’t ever do it again,” he says, even though kissing you is all he wants to do. “I just, I don’t want to lose you again.”
You don’t want to lose him again either.
Something about the look in his eyes and the sadness in his voice makes you feel guilty.
You nod.
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Yeah,” you breathe, “just, promise me that you won’t kiss me again.”
“I promise!” He exclaims with wide eyes, “I promise, I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do. I-I know that we’re not exactly friends but I-I’d love for us to be friends again.”
Right now, you don’t see the Steve that hurt you. You see the boy you used to play hide and seek with. The boy who used to pick flowers for you. The boy who used to pick you up in the afternoons to get sundaes at Benny’s. The boy you made a pact with when you were little kids – that you would stay friends, no matter what.
And Steve really needs a friend. He doesn’t have Tommy anymore, he doesn’t have Nancy anymore – who is left?
“Steve?”
“Yes?” He asks, furrowing his brows when you completely dismiss his words.
“Who do you hang out with?”
“No one,” he says without a single moment of hesitation.
It might be his fault but you still feel bad for him. You and Tommy were his only friends and now he has neither one of you left.
He has no one.
No friends and not even his parents to come home to – they are never there.
Maybe it’s the image of him alone or maybe it’s just the look in his eyes that makes you feel heartbroken, sad for the man in front of you, the one who used to be your everything.
Suddenly, you feel the need to keep the promise that you had made as kids.
You open your mouth to speak but the sound of a car – a van pulling up to your driveway makes you freeze in your spot. Your heart leaps to your throat and you swallow harshly.
Eddie.
Oh no. You had been ignoring his calls all day, breaking the promise that you would call after every party – you didn’t, at least not last night. You couldn’t.
He gets out of the van and closes the door. You are so focused on him that you don’t see Chrissy and Robin on the other side of the van. Eddie stares at Steve’s car with a frown on his face and when he looks your way, he freezes.
Steve notices the panicked look in your eyes, the nervousness is written all over your face. He turns around. Eddie stands there with a frown on his face, anger in his features and disappointment.
Robin and Chrissy share a look when they find Steve on your front porch. They are the firsts to walk towards you, glancing at Eddie nervously.
You tear your eyes away from Eddie when Chrissy walks up the stairs, brushing past Steve, completely ignoring his presence.
“Hey!” She smiles but with a questioning look in her eyes. You know what she is thinking; what is he doing here?
“Hey Chris,” you smile and greet her with a hug. She places her hand on your shoulder when she pulls back, eying the skirt you are wearing, her eyes lighten up, “oh my god, is it the one we bought last week together?”
“Yes!”
“I love it, it’s so cute!”
“Don’t you have the same one?” Robin asks, chuckling as she approaches you, eying Steve weirdly.
He rolls his eyes and sighs.
“Yes but it’s not the same color, Robs!”
Robin gives Chrissy a teasing smile before she looks over at you, “hey wild child, are you good after last night?” She tilts her head in his direction, raising her brows at you as though to say ‘what the fuck is he doing here?’
You would’ve laughed at the nickname she just gave you if it wasn’t for the intense look that Eddie is giving you as he walks up the stairs as well. You see his clenched jaw, he is angry – angry that you ignored his calls, angry to see him here. But there is also a hint of sadness in his brown orbs and you can’t take it – you can’t stand to see even a sliver of sadness in his eyes.
He quickly masks it with something else, just the way he always does.
“Thanks for the call, sweetheart,” he says sarcastically, furrowing his brows with a fake smile on his lips, “I mean for thanks for letting me know that you got home safe. Oh and super nice of you to keep ignoring my calls all day too.”
You can’t even look at him so you look down.
Steve’s brows stayed furrowed, the tension and the awkwardness isn’t hard to miss. Eddie looks at him in a way that almost makes him shrink under the weight of his eyes. So he turns back to you. You are blinking, chewing on your bottom lip and breathing heavily. You feel guilty, so guilty that you can’t even look at Eddie. Steve’s heart drops a little. He remembers how he felt when Nancy kissed him, how he couldn’t look into your eyes without feeling like the guilt was eating at him. He felt horrible, even when it wasn’t a kiss he initiated or even let happen, he still felt guilty, just as guilty as you are feeling, right now.
But you and Eddie are just friends, right?
Robin and Chrissy look at each other awkwardly.
“Eddie, I-I’m sorry,” you say softly, “I had the worst headache–”
“Yeah, I can see that,” he mumbles, glancing at Steve.
Steve rolls his eyes at Eddie’s attitude.
“Look, can we just go?” Robin asks, wanting to escape the awkward situation.
“Yes please,” Chrissy mumbles.
You look up, slowly looking between your friends. You already know that Robin and Chrissy are both going to be too busy with each other and Eddie is clearly pissed – you have seen him angry before but the anger was never directed at you and you know very well how he can be when he’s pissed.
Before you can stop the words from spilling, you look up at Steve.
“Steve is coming too.”
All four of them turn to you, looking at you wide eyed – as though you had gone crazy.
Chrissy looks annoyed, Robin looks confused, Eddie looks at you in disbelief and Steve, he stares at you with softened eyes.
“I invited him,” you lie.
Steve shakes his head at you, he doesn’t want you to feel like you have to include him, this is not what he came here for. He just wanted to apologize and make things right.
Robin looks away with a clenched jaw and Chrissy looks down to hide her eye roll.
“Can I talk to you, sweetheart?” Eddie asks, tilting his head.
“Yeah,” you whisper, nervously.
You walk past Steve and the girls, clutching your cardigan tightly as you step out on the porch. Eddie places his hand on your lower back and leads you down the stairs and towards his van.
“Eddie, I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to ignore you–”
“Did something happen?” He asks and finally swallows the anger down. He can hear the trembling in your voice, the shakiness of your hand which might be caused by something else.
He feels the urge to cup your cheeks so he can see your eyes but you keep looking down at the graveled ground.
You simply shake your head.
“Why didn’t you call me?” He asks softly, this time.
“I was really tired and I drank too much, I wasn’t thinking.”
You raise your head a little, daring to look at him.
“You’re lucky Robin called me otherwise I would’ve broke into your house.”
Your lips twitch and you break into a smile, “wouldn’t be the first time.”
He can’t help but smile back at you, his anger melting away.
“I-I’m sorry for inviting him, I know none of you want him around.”
“Then why did you invite him?” He asks, not out of anger but out of curiosity.
You can see the annoyance lingering in his eyes, the same annoyance you saw in Chrissy’s and Robin’s eyes.
You don’t know why you feel the need to explain yourself but when you look at him, you know you have to.
“He is just a friend now, I promise. I-I don’t want him like that – he’s just my friend.”
Eddie’s eyes skip over your face. Your brows are furrowed, eyes pleading and filled with honesty – he just doesn’t understand what the guilt is for.
“I still don’t understand why he has to be included.”
“He’s alone, Eddie.”
His brows knit together and he shakes his head.
“No, he isn’t? He’s with Nancy and bitchy Carol and fucktard Tommy–”
“He broke up with Nancy and he doesn’t have friends. Not anymore.”
Oh.
If there is one thing Eddie knows, it’s loneliness. And he can’t help but pity him. There isn’t much that he knows about Steve except for the things that you told him and his absent parents – it’s something that he unfortunately can relate to. He knows what it’s like to have no one. But fear grows inside of him at the news of Steve being single.
“Fine, don’t expect me to not mess with him though.”
You roll your eyes, snorting at his words.
“You two will be menaces to each other.”
Whenever Eddie felt vulnerable, angry or hurt, he’d put on a mask, he would hide his true feelings by putting on a front. He had never felt that need to do that with you, not until now.
He watches you with a weird feeling in his chest when you walk back to Steve.
Robin gives Eddie a pitiful look but the latter refuses to show how insecure or sad he is. He puts on a fake smile and looks over at Steve.
“I always wanted to take your girl for a ride.”
Steve’s head snaps towards him, halting his movements, he stops jingling with his car keys and gives Eddie a weird look.
“Excuse me?”
Robin and Chrissy look at you before they turn to each other, erupting into a fit of giggles at the double innuendo.
Eddie briefly glances at you before he nudges his chin into the direction of Steve’s BMW.
Steve squints his eyes, “yeah, keep dreaming, Munson.”
Eddie chuckles, “I will.”
“Wait, are we taking your car?” You ask, turning to Steve.
Robin mumbles something under her breath and Chrissy shushes her in response, nudging her shoulder.
“Can we talk, y/n?” Steve asks.
“Yeah, at the movies.”
You know exactly what he wants to talk about. He doesn’t want to intrude and he probably feels awkward to be around your friends.
“Come on.”
Steve sighs, knowing that you won’t take no for an answer, he just gestures for you all to get in his car. He expects you to take the passenger seat but instead, you take Eddie’s hand in yours and lead him to the passenger side.
“You can sit in the front,” you smile at Eddie as he looks down at you in confusion.
“I’ll sit in the back with Chris and Robin.”
“Uh–”
“Let’s go before the movie starts!” You say before anyone else can protest.
Eddie and Steve share a look, not a very excited or happy one, it’s more one of annoyance. Neither of them want to spend time with the other. But they get in the car nonetheless.
Chrissy and Robin get in as well, begrudgingly so.
“Are we still going out for pizza afterwards?” Robin asks, looking between Chrissy, Eddie and you.
Steve looks at you through the rearview mirror, seeing the way you scrunch your face up in disgust.
“Yeah, we can order some when we get back to my place,” you mumble, “I definitely need some McDonald's today though.”
Robin raises her brows in surprise, “what, is that hangover food for you or something?”
Chrissy chuckles beside her.
“Not exactly.”
No. It’s not your hangover food. Steve knows it. You only ever craved McDonald’s once a month.
“Hey Robin, did you tell y/n about your new job yet?” She asks, trying to ease the tension in the car.
Your lips part when you look over at your friend, “wait, what new job? You found something new?”
“Yes!” Robin says, pretending to be excited, “I’m starting next week.”
“Where?”
“Scoops Ahoy!”
Chrissy smiles, nodding in excitement.
Steve turns around, looking at you, surprised. His lips twitch and you almost laugh. Eddie glances between the two of you.
“Oh,” he furrows his brows, “the ice cream shop, huh?”
“Yup.”
Robin doesn’t even acknowledge him properly, just nods into his direction. Oh, this is going to be interesting.
“So, have you met your co-workers yet?” You ask.
She twists the rings on her fingers, shaking her head.
“Nope, I guess, I’ll meet them on monday.”
“You don’t have to,” you giggle.
“Huh?”
The look of confusion amuses even Steve.
You point your finger at Steve, who waves at Robin mockingly.
Her eyes widen, for a moment she looks shocked before she lets out a groan of annoyance, “you gotta be kidding me..”
“Hey there, co-worker,” Steve says, unable to hold back his chuckle.
She slumps back, looking very miserable before her eyes light up and she sits back up, “wait! Does that mean that you have to wear one of those sailor uniforms too?”
At that, Steve groans and looks away.
“Sailor uniforms?”
“Come by on monday and you’ll see Steve in a pair of skimpy sailor shorts,” Robin winks at you.
While you and Chrissy laugh and even Eddie joins in, smirking at Steve, “are you gonna wear some slutty shorts, Harrington?”
“Shut up,” Steve mumbles, closing his eyes.
“Alright, alright,” Robin mumbles, “can you start the car, dingus? We’re gonna miss the movie!”
“Yeah,” he sighs as he starts the car.
-
The drive to the movies wasn't the most joyful one you’ve been on. Eddie kept pestering Steve about his music choices. Steve kept rolling his eyes at him and Chrissy and Robin kept whispering to you.
‘Why is he here?’
‘Why did you invite him?’
‘Are you with him again?’
‘What about –’
You never got to hear the end of Robin’s question, Chrissy slapped her shoulder before she could finish it.
Walking into the movie theater has always been a nostalgic feeling to you, it always takes you back to your childhood. It’s oddly comforting. The smell of popcorn and butter makes your mouth water and you can’t wait to dig into the sweet treat.
After buying the tickets, Chrissy takes your hand and leads you over to the lounge area while the others go to buy the snacks.
The moment you take a seat, she starts bombing you with questions again. Rambling and throwing one after the other at you, not even giving you the chance to reply.
“Chrissy–”
“No, please don’t tell me that you’re getting back with him,” she says, crinkling your nose. She watched you cry over him more than once, even before the break up.
You shake your head, “no,” you mumble, taking a look at the others as they stand by the counter.
“I just – he’s different now.”
Chrissy scoffs at your words, rolling her eyes.
“Right, they all change when they get dumped.”
“He didn’t get dumped, he broke up with Nancy – and it doesn’t even matter! I don’t want to date him, I-I just, we’re friends now, I guess.”
Chrissy knows that Steve had always been more than just your boyfriend. He was your best friend, long before she became friends with you.
“I just don’t want him to hurt you again, y/n.”
You tilt your head and smile at her, “please, don’t worry about me. I won’t let that happen, not again. We’re friends. That’s all.”
She nods at your words and glances at the others. Steve and Eddie seem to be fighting about something, she can’t help but chuckle in amusement.
Eddie rolls his eyes at Steve, leaning closer to him to mock him about something.
“What’s so funny?”
She tilts her head at you, “well, I guess, Steve tagging along makes things more entertaining.”
With furrowed brows, you take a look at them – Eddie is holding a bag of popcorn in one hand, throwing some at Steve with the other.
“Guys!” You hear Robin’s annoyed voice.
You snort.
Robin is the first to come back, annoyance written all over her face,“they are so immature.”
She hands Chrissy the bag of popcorn and a box of Reese's pieces.
“They’re men, what do you expect?”
“You’re right,” Robin says to Chrissy.
“Sweetheart, tell Steve that you prefer salted popcorn,” Eddie says when he comes back, “he insisted on sweet popcorn.”
Steve rolls his eyes at Eddie, stopping next to him.
“Here we go again,” Robin mumbles under her breath.
Steve already knows your answer so he doesn’t even look at you expectedly. Eddie seems to look like he knows your answer too and he does, but today it isn’t the right one.
“Uh.” You get up and look at your best friend with an apologetic look in your eyes as you reach for the bag in Steve’s hand. “I’m sorry…”
Eddie’s eyes flash with confusion and his face falls. If you didn’t feel so guilty already, you would’ve been amused by the look of betrayal on his face. He is so dramatic. You’d be lying if you said that it’s something you don’t love about him though.
“W-What?” He scoffs as his lips set in a pout, “we always get salted popcorn!”
“Yeah and it’s my favorite but I’m craving something sweet today. I’m sorry, Ed’s.”
Eddie rolls his eyes and looks away from you, “and how did you know that?” He asks Steve.
Steve could have been smug about it, especially, seeing as it makes Eddie mad.
He shrugs, “it’s just something that we always used to get when we came here,” he lies.
Suddenly, you want to run, you want to escape. So you grab your purse and leave the group, pretending to look at the ticket that you were holding all this time. Chrissy gets up to follow you and so does Steve.
Robin and Eddie stay back though, glancing at each other.
It’s not that they hate him. They don’t. But they know what he did to you, they know how much he hurt you, how much you suffered because of him and he had done nothing to earn your trust back. He just weaseled his way back into your life and you let him.
And despite his jealousy and the fear of losing you, Eddie still isn’t as angry as Robin is – because he thinks about your words; ‘He’s alone, Eddie.’
Eddie and Robin follow the three of you, he watches you, he watches how you interact with Steve and Chrissy, laughing at something he said.
“I’m so fucking pissed,” Robin says.
“Why?” He asks but keeps his eyes on you.
“Because he will just hurt her again. I can’t believe she feels bad for him after the shit he did to her.”
“Well, can’t really fight her when she’s this stubborn,” Eddie shrugs.
“Yeah, but he doesn’t want to be friends with her – I mean, when Billy kissed her he was like all rough and shit, and then Heather – fuck, when Heather told me she kissed Steve, I was fuming!” She says, looking up as she groans in anger.
Eddie feels like someone had dropped a bucket of ice cold water over him. He freezes and halts in his tracks, eyes widening as he feels his heart sinking to his stomach.
“W-What?” Eddie mumbles.
Robin stops walking when she notices that Eddie is no longer beside her. She glances at the three of you before she turns back to him and sees the look of confusion and sadness in his eyes – fuck. She should have known. She should’ve known that you didn’t tell him. That is why you didn’t call him. That is why you didn’t pick up any of his calls.
“S-She kissed Steve a-and Billy?” He asks with widened eyes, “please, tell me you’re joking, Robin.”
Robin’s own eyes widen as well and she starts shaking her head wildly, “no! It was spin the bottle.”
A part of him feels relieved but the other part is still tense. His eyes begin to hurt.
He curses at himself for not being there last night. You wouldn’t have to kiss Billy if he was there, you wouldn’t have to kiss Steve.
“B-But it was just a game, right?”
A guilty feeling overcomes Robin and she already begins to regret that she even mentioned it.
She wants to say ‘yes, it was just a game’ but Robin was never a good liar and even if she tried, he would know that she is not telling the truth.
“It was just a game,” Eddie repeats, “her kissing Steve was just a game, right?”
He doesn’t even care about Billy, the kiss with him was just a game.
“Eddie–”
“Come on, Robin,” he mumbles, shakily.
He knows he has no right to be upset over a kiss. You are not even his to lose. But he always hoped, deep down, he always hoped that there might be a chance for him someday.
“She told me that he kissed her again afterwards – outside.”
Eddie’s shoulders slump, his heart feels heavy in his chest. He feels so stupid to think that you wouldn’t do this. You could only resist him for so long. Steve Harrington still has your heart after all.
“But Eddie, I don’t think that it meant anything to her. She rejected him and then came to find me.”
Her words do nothing to make him feel better.
Robin looks at him, anxiously. She knows how resentful Eddie can be when he’s hurt and by the look on his face, she knows that he is deeply hurt.
“Are you guys coming?” Chrissy asks, interrupting Robin who was just about to say something.
Eddie looks down with a clenched jaw. He doesn’t even want to be here anymore.
“Yeah. Come on, Eddie.”
Eddie follows begrudgingly. He knows that he shouldn’t feel that way. It shouldn’t hurt as much. You are still just friends after all, you are not his girlfriend, you are not his, your heart isn’t his.
You never gave any signs that you wanted him back, not even once.
He shouldn’t be this upset. He shouldn’t feel so jealous.
But it isn’t just the kiss or the kisses.
You have only spent one evening with Steve, kissed him twice and you are already distancing yourself from him. Ignoring him and his calls. He is already losing you.
His mood only gets worse when he finds you sitting next to him, giggling at something he said to you. He rolls his eyes and sits down on the other side of you.
You turn away from Steve and towards him, smiling at him, “hey.”
“Hey,” he grumbles.
He doesn’t even see the creased brows or the saddened look in your eyes, he’s staring at the white screen.
“How was the campaign last night?”
“Good.”
“Okay,” you mumble and lean back again, you frown in confusion. Is he this upset over some salted popcorn?
Steve looks over at Eddie, his jaw is clenched, he blinks faster than usual, he is pissed. He was pissed before but not like this, he seemed to have calmed down on the drive here and even while they were at the counter, buying snacks, he seemed fine and even laughed and teased him, now he just looks angry.
He glances at Robin who sits next to him, she is chewing on her bottom lip and bouncing her knee, completely ignoring Chrissy’s rambling. The room might be dark, but Steve can see the guilt in her eyes.
“Hey Robin,” he whispers.
She rolls her eyes at him, “what?”
“You didn’t tell Eddie about the kiss did you?” He whispers, careful that you aren’t listening.
She freezes a little and that is enough of an answer. Shit. Steve doesn’t really care about Eddie or about what he feels. He understands him but he still doesn’t care.
He cares about you. Back at your house, he saw the way you avoided Eddie’s eyes, the way you looked so scared and guilty, you were scared of his reaction that’s why you avoided him. You didn’t want him to know.
Now he knows and you don’t know that he does.
“Are you not gonna tell me about it?” Steve hears you asking him.
Eddie doesn’t even glance at you, he only leans further away from you.
“I would’ve told you if you picked up the fucking phone last night.”
You’re taken aback by the anger in his words, by the curse words that he never ever directed at you.
Normally, you would have said something but the guilt that you are still feeling makes you unable to talk. Besides, you are too intimidated to say anything back, scared that he will lash out on you because, clearly, he is deeply upset about something.
Steve watches how you turn away from him, you roll your eyes but the sadness gives away how hurt you are by Eddie’s attitude towards you.
Steve glares at Eddie, the urge to whack him across his curly head is strong.
He nudges your shoulder and gives you a soft smile when you look at him, “you okay?”
You hesitate, “...yes.”
Eddie narrows his eyes to look at the two of you and he keeps doing it during the whole movie.
Normally, you would comment on certain scenes, so would he. Normally, you would laugh together and you would lean your head on his shoulder, he would wrap his arm around you.
Today, he leans away from you and after a few attempts to talk to him or make him laugh, you give up when he keeps brushing you off. You lean away from him as well. He doesn’t comment on anything and neither do you anymore. He is still pissed and you are still tense, your mind is filled with thoughts that you don’t want to think about and despite the painkillers you took earlier, your stomach is still cramping. You are hurting today.
Despite the funny moments in the movie, you cannot laugh, in fact, you feel like crying – whether it’s your period making you overly emotional or just Eddie.
Eddie is giving you the cold shoulder and it hurts, it fucking hurts.
He had never done anything like that to you before.
You have been close friends for almost a year now and not once had he said or done anything to hurt you. But now, he is giving you the silent treatment, the cold shoulder and you can’t stand it because it’s something that Steve used to do to you.
Whenever he was upset about something, he wouldn’t talk, he wouldn’t tell you what was going on in his mind, he wouldn’t tell you what you did wrong, he would simply give you the cold shoulder and ignore you for the rest of the day.
And now Eddie is doing the same to you.
Eddie who you thought would never do this.
The moment the credits start rolling, you jump up from the seat and push past Eddie. You rush out of the room after making up some excuse that you have to use the bathroom.
“Is she okay?” Chrissy asks Eddie.
“How would I know?” He snaps at her and gets up as well, leaving the others behind as he makes his way out as well.
Chrissy scrunches her face up and looks at Robin, “what’s gotten into him?”
“Jesus..” Steve runs his fingers through his hair, “what a brat.”
“Who?” Chrissy asks as she takes a proper look at his face for the first time today, “Eddie?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re right,” she mutters under her breath as she gets up, “I can’t believe I’d ever agree with you.”
Steve isn’t offended by her words. He knows that your friends never liked him and he doesn’t blame them. They have always been protective of you and of your feelings, something that he wasn’t when you were dating.
“Let’s just go,” Robin says, “I need the pizza now.”
After some internal pep talk and five minutes of trying to keep yourself from breaking down, you leave the bathroom and step back into the empty hallway – almost empty hallway. You are almost startled by his presence. Out of all your friends, you didn’t expect to see him waiting for you.
You halt in your tracks. He is looking at you the same way he did when he just came to your place.
Eddie looks at your eyes, he notices the glassiness right away, whether you cried or not, he feels awful, despite the jealousy and the anger that he is still feeling.
“Who pissed in your coffee this morning?” You finally snap at him.
If he wasn’t so on edge already, he would’ve laughed and he would’ve loved the cute frown on your face.
If he didn’t have a sleepless night, he maybe wouldn’t have been so pissed but the sleepless night was your fault.
Even through the angry haze, he can see how beautiful you look today – you always look beautiful but something about the way you look today makes his heart race even faster. Maybe it’s the new skirt or maybe it’s the way you did your makeup or the fact that you are wearing his ring – you always wear it but, somehow, it means even more to him that you are wearing it today, even after the kiss with him.
Eddie never gets to answer your question.
Your friends join the two of you and interrupt your little tense moment.
“Let’s go, we’re gonna order some pizza.”
You tear your eyes away from his, sighing as you walk past him.
“Yeah, can we order? I don’t feel like eating there.”
Robin and Chrissy nod. They pull you away from Eddie and Steve.
Both men stay behind for a moment, Eddie looks at the ground, a mixture of guilt and anger still deep in his features.
Steve wants to say something and he opens his mouth but decides against it. Anything that he will say, will only anger the metalhead even further and he doesn’t want to risk making things worse.
So he turns around and walks away.
You are surprised to see Robin and Steve sharing a knowing look when you all get back into his car, they both take a look at Eddie, who is silent, unlike on the drive here.
Chrissy leans closer to you, she cups her hand over her mouth, “did something happen between you and Eddie?” She whispers, giving you a look of concern and confusion.
You shake your head at her and shrug. You are just as confused.
Her eyes soften when she sees the worry and the hurt in your eyes, she gives you a sad smile and takes ahold of your hand, trying to comfort you.
Your lips twitch, you squeeze her hand back before you turn away, looking out the window instead.
The day started off good, the sun was shining and the breeze was warm but, just like your mood, the weather had taken a turn for the worse. The clouds appeared like dark shadows over the pretty blue sky and the breeze turned into a harsh wind. It isn’t raining yet but you know it’s about to start falling any minute.
Somehow, the weather always matches your mood.
“I thought we were getting pizza?”
You were so focused on watching the clouds move, you didn’t pay attention to where you were driving.
Your eyes light up a little when you see the McDonald’s sign.
“Y/n doesn’t want pizza,” Steve says as he pulls into the drive through, “she wanted burgers.”
For a moment, you forget about Eddie’s anger, the pain in your stomach or the guilt. Your eyes widen and a smile tugs at your lips, you have been craving burgers and fries all day.
“Oh! Fries too, please, Stevie!”
You don’t hear Eddie’s scoff over Steve’s chuckle, “I know, dolly.”
Eddie rolls his eyes and clenches his fist.
“Does anyone want anything?”
Eddie mumbles a ‘no’.
Robin simply shakes her head and Chrissy leans closer to Robin to look out the window, reading the menu board.
“Oh, can I have a strawberry milkshake?” Chrissy asks shyly, already reaching for the walled in her purse but you stop her, placing your hand over hers.
“I got it, Chris.”
“Don’t sweat it,” Steve mumbles, looking over his shoulder, he glances at you both, “I’ll pay.”
She raises her brows, forcing a smile as she mumbles a quiet ‘thanks’.
Robin is awfully quiet and you just notice it now when Chrissy leans back and you get to take a look at her. She keeps running her fingers through her hair, looking out the window with tense shoulders, just like Eddie.
What the hell is going on?
Chrissy looks just as clueless as you though.
When Steve hands you the bag and the milkshake, a few minutes later, you almost squeal in excitement. Chrissy laughs at the look on your face and takes the milkshake from your hand.
“Do you wanna share?” She asks, offering you the drink after taking the paper off the straw.
“No thanks, I need the fries now.” You rip open the bag, the smell of greasy food makes your mouth water, “I’m so hungry,” you mumble as you reach for the fries.
“Want some?” You ask Chrissy and Robin, “I’ll share, it’s too much for me anyways.”
Robin shakes her head, “nah, I’ll wait for the pizza.”
Chrissy takes some, “you’re missing out, Robin.”
“Right?” You mumble through a mouthful, “you gotta dip them, Chris.”
“Not in a strawberry milkshake though!” She laughs, “it’s gotta be vanilla.”
Steve glances at you through the rearview mirror. His heart flutters when he sees the smile on your face.
“Do you guys want some?” You ask, offering some to Steve and Eddie.
“It’s all yours, hangry,” Steve chuckles, using an old nickname.
“I’m not hangry!” You slap his shoulder.
“You want some Eddie?” You ask softly.
He shakes his head, continuing to give you the cold shoulder. So he really is mad at you. Eddie never says no to fries, he steals some from your plate every time you go out to eat – or he finishes the ones that are left on your plate when you get too full to finish eating them yourself.
You exhale and slump back in your seat, feeling sad all over again.
You look down at the fries, suddenly, not feeling as hungry as you did before. Still, you continue snacking on the fries, choosing to save the burger for later.
Chrissy looks at you worriedly when you frown and look down at your food, sadly, not as happy as you did a few moments back. She knows that you had been struggling in the past few months, you haven’t been eating as much and whenever you do, you quickly lose your appetite. Whether it’s the past memories that take away your appetite or something else – you have a problem. A problem that Eddie usually tries to help you with.
She doesn’t know what happened but she can’t help but glare at the metalhead.
But Robin is acting off too, so when you finally arrive back at your place and you all walk into your house. Chrissy takes Robin’s hand and pulls her away to the dining room to talk to her.
“We’re gonna order the pizza!” Chrissy shouts as they disappear in the hallway.
“Uh – okay.”
Throwing your cardigan and your purse on the dresser, you walk into the living room.
“Should I get some drinks?” Steve asks you, following you.
“I can do it–”
“No, sit down, I’ll get some,” Steve mumbles, giving you a smile before he walks past you, disappearing in the kitchen.
You reach for the remote to turn on some music on the TV, you always need the background noise, even in a room full of people. From the corner of your eye, you see him. You are surprised that he’s still here, you figured that he’d take his van and leave the moment Steve parked the car in your driveway.
A part of you wants to say something but the other part doesn’t. You don’t want to give him the silent treatment back, you are just scared of his explanation.
On the way home, you kept trying to figure out what made him so angry.
Did he know about the kiss? Did Robin tell him? Is he upset about that?
Even if he knows, he can’t be upset about it – even when you think about what Nancy said to you, it still makes no sense. Why would he be upset? You aren’t together. You are not his girlfriend.
Then again, it doesn’t explain your guilty feeling either. Just like you aren’t his, he isn’t yours. You have no reason to feel so guilty about kissing Steve – you can kiss whoever you want.
Besides, you went on a date with Ray and even kissed him before he turned into a major douchebag – Eddie never got upset about the fact that you wanted to go on a date. So he can’t be upset about this either, right?
It has to be something else.
Is he sick of you?
Did he finally realize that you aren’t worth his time?
Did he have a sudden change of heart just like Steve did when he went from loving boyfriend to awful boyfriend overnight?
Did your radio silence piss him off that much?
He is still standing by the doorway.
You can’t help but roll your eyes at him and of course, it doesn’t go unnoticed by him. You still don’t say anything though, too afraid to make things worse.
The tugging in your chest gets even worse, if that is even possible.
“What’s wrong, dolly?”
All appetite is lost the moment you hear the mocking in his voice. You still blame your emotions on your period but deep down, you know that it’s not that.
You feel the coil in your throat, the hollow feeling in your stomach and the sickness in your chest. You don’t know whether you want to throw up or break into tears.
You can’t take this, not from him.
His words weren’t even bad or offending in any way but to hear the tone in his voice, to receive the cold shoulder from someone who you wouldn’t hesitate to give your everything to, makes you feel like you’re taken back to Halloween – where it all fell apart.
“Did you have fun last night?”
His question makes you frown. For the first time, you look at Eddie with a glare.
“I did.”
“Yeah, I figured,” he scoffs and looks away.
What the hell?
Chrissy and Robin walk into the room, both looking a little tense.
“Uh, pizza is ordered,” Chrissy says awkwardly.
She notices your heavy breathing and the way you are blinking quickly. The way you keep glancing at Eddie who refuses to look at you.
Steve comes back into the room with a few cans of coke, he places them on the small table. Steve’s presence seems to anger Eddie even further and Chrissy is starting to get annoyed by the attitude that spawned out of nowhere.
“Hey, are you okay?” Chrissy asks you.
Eddie is not looking at you. He isn’t even glancing at you. He doesn’t care. Why doesn’t he care anymore? What happened?
Your eyes burn. You can’t sit here any longer, you get up and walk away.
“Hey, do you not want to eat your food?” Steve asks, pointing to the takeout on the table.
“Not hungry,” you mumble.
“But, you haven’t eaten all day!”
Suddenly, Eddie feels even worse than he did before. He let his anger control him, all fucking day.
Steve sees your trembling lip and the tears in your eyes when you look back for a split second before you brush past Eddie and disappear into the hallway.
Chrissy calls out for you, jumping up from the couch, she runs after you, bumping into Eddie on purpose with a death glare.
He looks down with a sigh.
Steve has had enough of his behavior. He shakes his head in disbelief before he walks over to him, startling Eddie by grabbing his shoulder roughly, pushing him forward.
“What the fuck, dude?” Eddie snaps at him, trying to push Steve’s hands off of him but the latter has a strong grip on him and he pushes him towards the entrance, ripping the door open, he pushes him out.
For a moment, Eddie thinks that he’s getting kicked out.
Robin jumps up, looking panicked as she watches them both leaving the house. She follows behind, opening the door that Steve just slammed shut.
“What the hell is your problem?” Eddie asks, pushing Steve’s hands off with force.
“What’s my problem?” Steve chuckles in disbelief, pointing to himself.
Eddie scoffs and looks away.
“Get your fucking jealousy in check before you keep hurting her!” Steve yells over the harsh rain that is falling.
“She is not – I-I’m not..”
“Yes, you fucking are. You were fine before the movie, so I’m guessing you –” he points at Robin, who breaks eye contact right away and slumps, “told him something and I have a pretty fucking good idea of what it is!”
Eddie’s shoulders slump, he looks down, his eyes are burning.
“It’s just–” Eddie’s words get cut short because what can he say? How can Eddie tell him he is mad because he can’t compare himself to Steve Harrington? How can he tell him that he isn’t just jealous but also hurting? How can Eddie say anything at all when he has no chance whatsoever?
For a split second, Steve is able to see through Eddie, the look in his eyes gives it all away.
“Eddie,” he sighs, hurting himself with what he is about to say. He could lie to him, he could leave it all like this, be your knight in shining armor and pick you up after today but he won’t use Eddie’s insecurities and your vulnerability to weasel his way back into your heart.
Steve looks up, taking a deep breath.
“She pushed me away when I kissed her and I think we all know why.”
Eddie’s eyes widen.
“Now get your ass up there and fix it,” Steve says angrily.
A million questions run through Eddie’s mind but now is not the time to ask them. Steve won’t take no for an answer. He simply nods before he walks back into the house.
Robin crosses her arms over her chest, she is impressed by Steve. She’s a little surprised, she expected a fight to break out, she didn’t expect this to be cut… so short.
“Good job, Dingus.”
He rolls his eyes at her, “let’s get inside.”
Chrissy is standing in front of the bathroom door, leaning against it as she keeps trying to convince you to come out.
“Please, y/n,” she sighs, softly.
Eddie eyes the cheerleader warily, for someone with such a kind face, she sure gave him the kind of death glare that even intimidated him.
He takes a deep breath.
“Can I try?”
She turns around at the sound of his voice, snapping her head up with a frown. Her brows knit together, her mouth twists and she rolls her eyes but steps away from the door nonetheless.
“Yeah,” she mumbles, “don’t mess it up, Munson.”
That is a threat. Yeah, with the look on her face, it definitely is a threat.
He really messed up.
He knocks on the door softly, closing his eyes as he tries to calm his breathing.
“Sweetheart,” he speaks with a much gentler voice than before, “can we talk?”
Silence.
“Please?”
He opens his eyes when the faint click of the lock sounds through the hallway. He grabs the doorknob and twists it, he opens the door and steps inside. You are sitting on the edge of the bathtub, wiping away the tears that keep rolling down your cheeks – because of him.
But why? Why would you cry over him?
You look up at him with glossy eyes and you rise to your feet.
“D-Do you hate me Eddie?”
His eyes widen and he shakes his head quickly.
Eddie doesn’t even hesitate, he immediately pulls you into a tight hug. His own heart breaks, not once in his life did he think he would hurt you but, here he was, causing you pain because of his own selfishness.
He can feel you clinging to him, your arms are wrapped tightly around him, your tears are seeping through his shirt but he doesn’t mind.
“No baby, you didn’t do anything wrong. I was just being stupid,” he sighs, not even noticing the nickname that rolled off his tongue so naturally.
“I don’t want to lose you, Eddie.”
The trembling in your voice and the sadness makes his heart hurt even more.
Not once in his life was anyone ever scared to lose him, yet, here you are, the girl that he loves, scared to lose him. You could have anyone, you could have Steve but you are scared to lose him.
Whether it’s platonically or not – you are scared to lose him and that has to mean something.
“You won’t lose me, I promise, you won’t,” he whispers and kisses the top of your head. “I’m so sorry – fuck,” he blinks his own tears away, hating himself for what he did. “I’m such an asshole.”
You only hug him tighter in response.
“No, you’re not,” you mumble, “just don’t do it again.”
“I won’t. I promise, I won’t.”
“I’m so–”
“Stop apologizing. Just hold me,” you mumble into his chest, “we can talk later.”
“Okay,” he whispers, hugging you even tighter.
This is what you need. To be held and comforted by him.
You lean your chin on his chest and look up at him, “will you stay with me tonight?”
For some reason, your question has him stunned.
You have had sleepovers before, many sleepovers in fact. But, something feels different. He doesn’t know what it is but something has shifted.
Something has shifted between the two of you after last night, he felt it earlier already and he feels it now as well.
His heart thumps wildly in his chest and he’s sure that you can feel it because he can feel yours.
“Yeah, I’ll stay with you.”

all you wanted was a banana cake but you also made a successful, albeit messy, red velvet someway.
fluffvember track 09: food fight
word count: 1575
warnings: mentions of fire & of burning a whole house that is all
notes: idek my exams are tomorrow but letssss gooooo
FLUFFVEMBER MASTERLIST
“Do banana cakes have frosting?” You ask Tendou as he stirs the batter of your banana cake, his apron matching the crimson shade of his head. You can’t help but admire him under the 8 AM sunlight filtered through your glass windows in your tiny apartment, his red hair and red apron standing out from the white background of your kitchen.
Tendou hums, looking up from the bowl to you. “Depends. Why?”
“Nothing,” you shrug, “all the banana cakes I’ve had when I was a kid were from this local cake shop and they’re all sliced. The carrot cake, too.”
“So you’ve never had a whole carrot cake with the frosting?”
“Nope,” you say, pouting and shaking your head side to side, smiling slightly to yourself as Satori pours the batter into two rectangular pans. For a chocolatier that only tried this recipe with you because you kept pestering him the moment you woke up, you think this experiment will end up good. You sure hope so or all your effort will go to waste.
Tendou taps the side of one of the pans and calls you over, tipping his head slightly at the side. “Do the honors of putting your precious banana cake in the oven.”
You originally wanted a carrot cake (one with frosting and like, a real cake) but it was so early you didn’t have enough energy for a quick early morning grocery run, so you ended up making a banana cake instead with what’s left of the banana sitting in your kitchen counter.
Picking up the pans, you crouch down in front of the oven and place them neatly inside, humming happily to yourself as you close it and click it on, satisfied at the sounds of the machine.
“There,” you stand back, rubbing your palms on your black apron, “we wait 30 minutes, right?” You ask Satori for confirmation because you really aren’t sure. You didn’t bother to read the recipe because Tendou was there to read it for you. All you did was mix whatever he told you to.
It’s not that you’re lazy. Not really. But the trauma of setting your kitchen on fire never quite left you. At eight, without any adult supervision, you almost set your whole kitchen (and house, probably, if your parents had not come home any sooner,) on fire. All you wanted was some omelet but somehow got distracted. You didn’t know the kitchen was on fire until you heard ceramics break. Walking back in the kitchen, you saw the ceiling and your cupboards (both the floating and the lower ones) on fire, the reason why the plates and glasses fell.
You’d never talk about how bad you got reprimanded for that.
Since then, you never cooked on your own, much less stay inside the kitchen, unless you have someone with you. It’ll take a lot of convincing for you to open the stove or light a candle inside your home.
“You could just make this on your own,” Tendou says, opening your fridge and taking out an orange juice box.
Scoffing, you get two clear glasses from your floating shelf. “As if. You’d never see me start a fire inside this home ever.”
“There aren’t any fires involved,” he says obviously, raising an eyebrow at the oven holding your banana cakes.
“No, thank you. What if I forget or whatever? What if it decides to, I don’t know, malfunction? I’d hate to set this whole apartment on fire, you know?”
Satori just chuckles at your little rant, pouring you both a half glass of orange juice. He’d once complained to you why you only have orange juice and not pineapple or cranberry or apple. Orange juice is the only juice you can stomach ever.
“If you had a longer attention span then you’d probably be a chef right now. An omelet at eight? Pretty impressive.”
You scowl at him. “Yeah, pretty impressive of me to almost turn our whole house to ashes. So talented of me!”
Tendou laughs, downing his juice and moving toward the sink. He starts piling the dirty plates and containers in the corner.
“You’re lucky you never got to-”
The banana sure will taste good if it ends up right because the batter is sweet on your lips, courtesy of Satori smearing it on you after dipping his fingers on the leftover batter on the bowl. Licking your lips to clean it off, you glare at him, eyeing the bowl that he put next to him.
“Tastes good?” He asks, holding back his laughter, scarlet eyes shining in mirth. You say nothing but you do quickly scour off some portion of the batter to your finger and wiping it on his cheek. You throw your head back at the light yellow color contrasting his pretty pale complexion.
“Tastes good?” You mimic, scooping some more and painting his chin and jaw with the sticky mixture. There’s a smirk playing at the ends of his lips and you should have seen it coming but the slimy feeling of the leftover eggs being thrown at your collarbone area is absolutely disgusting. A shiver whacks through your whole body as it trickles down the inside of your shirt and on your chest.
“Satori!” You complain, a scoff and a laugh merging into an absurd sound, laying a palm on your skin to somehow rid of the egg but you just shudder. “This is cheating!”
Tendou moves on the other side of the island, clutching a bowl of whatever leftover ingredients you had. “It’s not!” He giggles, clutching a handful of flour and flicking it on your face. A surprised gasp finds its way out of your lips, blinking repeatedly as you try to see through the power caught on your eyelashes.
A sudden idea for a payback lights up in your head as you whine. “Satori, I can’t see.”
“Oh, really?” He muses, clearly unconvinced. But you make an act of rubbing your closed eyelids and trying to blink your eyes open which you purposely don’t fully open, another whine of complaint coming from you.
This time, Satori relents. He puts down his bowl of flour on the marble top and makes his way over to you, a guilty expression on his face. He coos as he stands close, hands gentle as they hover over your face.
“Let me see,” he says and behind you, you grasp whatever it is you first touch, hoping it has something in it or else your act of revenge will fail. Gripping the container tight around your fist, you bring it forward and shove it on Tendou’s chest. He steps back, aghast, feeling his clothes soak in the water. You aren’t content though so you shove the rest of what’s left in the pitcher, this time on his face. His red eyes are wide in shock as he looks at you.
“Y/N,” he bemoans, a hand wiping the water off his pretty face, “this is cheating.”
“It’s nooooot,” you sing, shaking the pitcher on your hold tauntingly, moving away from him in case he tries to get you soaked too by hugging you. You place the pitcher on the island beside his bowl of flour, picking a handful and throwing the powder at him. A cackle slips past your throat at how he looks, cakes with flour that is sticking to his face because it was wet and the right side of his cheek and jaw a little uneven from the batter you smeared on it earlier. “You look really pretty, Tori,” you snicker.
“I bet,” he grins, winking at you and even holding up a peace sign in the air.
“We’re taking pictures after!” You announce, grabbing an egg and hurling it toward him, which he quickly dodges. The egg lands on the wall, slipping down the tiles in a yellowish goo. Damn him and his quick instincts. There’s a victorious, “hah!” from him, grabbing the banana peels on the counter and chucking it at you, hitting you square in the face.
“There you go,” he smiles, stealing the bowl of flour and grabbing a handful on his left hand, a handful of batter on his right. He molds the two to make it like a little snowball, the little ball barrelling in your direction. You barely step away from it, catching you by the neck. Your scream from the impact slowly bleeds out into loud peaks of laughter, head thrown back with a hand on the fridge door for support.
“Please, please no more,” you beg between giggles, eyeing Satori as he closes the distance between the two of you. His arms quickly make their way around your waist, his own laughter spilling past his lips.
He raises his eyebrows with a smile on his face, eyes shining. “You surrendered when I took most of the blows?”
You laugh harder, wiping his face clean with your palms. “You look like a badly made cake,” you wheeze.
“I’m your badly made cake,” he says, leaning his face closer to yours. With giggles still erupting from within you, you tip your head back away from his face.
“A red velvet one,” you grin, hands coming up at the back of his neck, playing with the red strands of his hair. Satori hums, pecking you once, twice, until you’re laughing again because he managed to smear what was on his face to yours.
this was late (and uh, a little all over the place) but whatever hahdiejdjd

Grace Heals 01: How Did You Betray Simon?
This is dedicated to the growth and wellness of Grace Monroe. I hadn’t seen much fic content for where Grace may go next that wasn’t centered around “fixing” the series. I don’t feel like it needs fixing, but just wanted to venture where I’d love to see Grace go and be as she works on things after we last see her in Book 3. So, everything that was canon precedes this story that I’ve began for my beloved baby girl @pearlseleganciess and my sister @andromidagalaxie (I cannot tag you sis, I don’t understand why, so I’m sorry, but this goes out to you). @i-am-a-passenger Idek if you wanna read it, but it seems like something we’d be on about in the messages, so I’m tagging you at least to this one to see how you feel.
“How did you betray Simon?”
Grace had been standing there for a while, after having had every denizen plaything brought to her so that she could try to see if they could be mended. She was taking a break whenever Lucy’s voice rescued her from her thoughts, but it took her a moment to try to process the question. “How did I, or why did I? We have to get in the habit of clarifying our questions before giving our answers, so that we know what we’re saying. That way… There are no misunderstandings and if anybody is hurt, it’s not because we lied to them.”
“Is that how it happened? You were unclear when you lied to him?” Lucy sounded a little disappointed in that thought.
“No. I was clear. I deliberately lied. I thought that I was doing what was best, and I stand by it. But… I get that… maybe if Simon and I could’ve been clearer sooner, understood each other more instead of just leaning into what we thought we needed… Maybe I wouldn’t have felt like I needed to lie to protect Hazel. Maybe we would’ve been better for each other. Maybe we wouldn’t have misguided so many kids that I genuinely wanted to help in the same way that I thought I was helping Simon…”
Lucy picked up Simon’s book and began scribbling in it. “If we’re going to change our language, maybe I should edit out every usage of the N word.” Grace appreciated that she took the liberty of doing so on her own, instead of looking to her for permission. “Replace the Null of Dissention with… The Denizen of… Repentance?… No. That’s too long. I’ll just put H.. was it Hazel?” Grace’s eyes welled with tears and Lucy’s good eye noted it. She nodded once, “It was Hazel,” she said, going through to edit.
She stared at the book for a while longer, then finally said, “I meant how. How did you betray Simon? I didn’t know him as long as you did, and I didn’t like him as much as you did, but it was still really hard for me not to listen to him. Even when what he said sounded wrong. What he said about you didn’t sound like you. But, I believed him. I trusted him. How did you figure out how to not trust him? How did you decide not to follow the king?” Lucy looked shaky, regretful. She was asking for instructions, not for Grace to explain herself.
Still, Grace had to be certain, just like she promised, to be clear about the conversations she had with others and to answer them to the best of her knowledge. She couldn’t be a know-it-all anymore. She had to just be honest and straightforward, even when she didn’t know, and do her best to understand what was being asked of her, instead of presuming. “Lucy… Are you asking me this as a way to help you figure out how to learn to stick up for yourself?”
“I want to be brave enough to overthrow an unfit leader. Simon was an unfit leader. A lot of us had to have known. I couldn’t be the only one who didn’t like... the changes…”
Grace sighed and nodded her head. She sat down, legs sprawled and rested her elbows on her knees as she thought, “Well… I think that first and foremost, the important thing to understand is that even if you were the only one who didn’t like it, there’s nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong with not thinking like everyone else. There’s nothing wrong with thinking for yourself and having a different opinion than other people. The problem isn’t in our opinions, but our actions. Whenever I… realized that I cared about Hazel, I knew that Simon had a different opinion, but… my actions. I wanted so much to keep what I had with Simon, to keep our peace, to keep him happy, I hurt a little girl that thought I cared about her. I couldn’t take that back.”
“We were going to wheel you… Can… can we not take that back?” Lucy asked, worried.
“The good news is that I made it. I know how it feels to let down a friend and to hurt them, and I never want to make you feel that way. As long as we’re both still here, there is time to change, and time to talk it out. So, to answer your question, we can’t undo what we’ve already done, but we can use what we learn from what we did wrong to do better in the future.”
“But… Do you hate us? Doesn’t some part of you hate us, like Simon hated you when you betrayed him?” Lucy was now losing her tough exterior and clenching the book tightly.
Grace reached out and touched her shoulder. She loosened up and Grace took the book from her and tossed it aside to hold both of her hands.
“I could never hate you, Lucy. You and me, we’ve gone through something together that has forever changed us. I’m really glad that you have a better chance now.”
Lucy shook her head and started crying, “But, what if we had wheeled you? What if we had wheeled you like all of those nulls that we’ve wheeled, and now have to think about how wrong it was for us to do that to them? What if we had to think about that too? About having done it to you?”
“You didn’t! You didn’t!” Grace said, trying to calm her.
She reached for a hug, but Lucy resisted and shook her head. “I called you a void. I knew that it didn’t seem right, but I still listened to Simon. You should be throwing me to the wheels.”
Grace clasped her hands together and sputtered out a breath. “Nobody should be thrown to the wheels. Believe it or not, I wouldn’t have even wanted that for Simon. I loved him more than I can put into words. From the first time I saw that I needed to protect him, that’s… just what I did. It was nice, to be needed. It was nice to have someone see me and see the best,” Tears were in Grace’s eyes now, “And it was so hard to have him see me and see the worst. For a moment, I even thought that I deserved it. I thought, what I’m guessing you’re thinking, that because I did something to hurt him, maybe I had to do more to help him.”
“You told him a stupid lie and he tried to kill you. I feel like that’s an overreaction,” Lucy complained. “He failed us.”
“No, Lucy. We failed you. He’s just the one who didn’t live to fix it.”
“Shouldn’t all fall on you,” Lucy said and kicked Simon’s book off the table.
“And, it doesn’t. Remember, we’re doing this together. I can try to help you, but I can’t fix everything. But, you have me here and I’m telling you the truth when I say that you deserve to get to change. Everybody does.”
“Then, why can’t everybody change? Why couldn’t Simon?”
Grace shook her head and blinked away more stinging tears, “I can’t answer for Simon, but maybe a part of life continuing is not having an answer for everything. Maybe… we’ll all do our best to find answers that are good and sound, because we saw how… badly it could end… if we’re not willing to see any other ways but our own. I know I'm willing to give it my best shot." Lucy nodded her head and finally was ready for a hug. Grace squeezed her tightly, thinking of Hazel, but not wanting to equate Lucy and Hazel. They were both two very different little girls. She had regrets about Hazel, but she had also come to terms with that mentally. Maybe she would see her again, but probably not and she couldn’t equate every kid she knew with Hazel; just like she shouldn’t have equated every kid she met with a sad short boy in socks and sandals.
But, she was never going to stop loving either of them. That was just… How she was. People didn’t get close to her and the ones who had… Well, she was going to have to learn how to let other people get close too. It would take some of these kids a long time to trust this new evolution of hers, but most of them wanted to.
Lucy had wanted to. “Umm… Grace?”
“Yes, Lucy?”
“Can… you stop hugging me. It’s getting a little uncomfortable.” Grace quickly let go and placed her hand on the back of her neck, laughing. Lucy just smiled at her, almost like you would some poor silly fool. “Thank you for clearing it up,” Lucy said and picked up Simon’s book off of the floor. “On second thought, I don’t think we need this. I’m gonna wheel it,” Lucy said. Grace wanted to stop her, for sentimental reasons, but… None of the other kids touched Simon’s things. There would be something that she could hold on to, whenever she had the nerve to go in there. That book… it was probably filled with things that she never wanted to think about, with all the parts of Simon that she didn’t quite notice until she started changing.
“Lucy!” She called after her, realizing that she had never answered her question. The girl stopped, panicked for a moment, thinking that maybe she had done something wrong. “I changed. That’s how I betrayed him. I became a person that valued something more than I valued what we had, what we built.”
“But… you built something that was bad,” Lucy said. Grace nodded. “So, you changed into someone good.”
“I changed into someone who was thinking from a good place. I don’t know if I feel comfortable saying that I became good.”
“I feel comfortable saying it, because I have a different opinion than you, and that’s okay.” Grace smiled at Lucy as she trotted along to the door to get rid of the book. At least somebody believed that she was good.

Bother Me All You Want || JotaroxReader Angst
(Sooo, this is for that anon!)
You twiddled your thumbs together as you sat on the edge of the side of the boardwalk at the Kujo’s home. Uhg, you didn’t know what to do with yourself. You were taking a break from University, it was just spreading you to thin, but all you could think about was how far you will have fallen behind. Becoming a college history professor was always a dream of yours, as boring as that sounds, it was just something you were passionate about. You didn’t want your education to last longer than it needed to, but it would. Your mental sanity wasn’t up to par these days.
But because you weren’t busy with school, you didn’t have much to do. You could luckily spend some time with your boyfriend, though he was the one busy with school. He was extremely hard working, nearly always in his room or the library studying himself down to the bone. You knew he didn’t have time for you and it really hurt.
Whenever you would see him around the house you would get extremely exited, but you thought other things may have been occupying his mind, Did he even think of you?
One day, you saw him in the kitchen making himself a PB&J which was something he ate often, it seemed a little childish honestly. Something like that was usually in a sack lunch of a grade school student, but it was sort of cute to you.
“Hey there, makin’ another gourmet meal I see.” You walked up to him, hands behind your back. Your heart was pounding, You hated that it was. You two were as close as could be, but you always felt as though you were bothering him. He looked up at you after he placed a piece of bread on top of the condiments.
“Do you want one?” He asked you, totally willing. He reached up to open the cabinet, getting another plate, but you stopped him.
“No, no, that’s okay! I’ll make something myself.” You put your hand up, chest level, assuring him. You had a nervous smile on your face. You should have expected his offer, but you didn’t.
“Are you okay, (Y/N)?” He asked, closing the cabinet, He gave you a concerned look.
“Huh? I’m fine, don’t worry.” Another re-assurance. You gave his arm a gentle hug. It was so good to see him, felt good to touch him. He placed his other hand on the top of your head with a smile.
“We’ll spend some time together soon, I promise.” He told you. He moved the arm that you held so that he could wrap it around you. You looked up at him.
“No. no, you need to study.” You shook your head, “I don’t want to stop you from progressing.” You rested your head against him, “Though I do miss you.” You sighed, smiling.
“If you say so, but I will come visit you tonight, okay?” He was trying to make sure you knew that he did in fact want to spend time with you, but you didn’t quite believe him. You pulled away from him.
“You better get back to work, ocean boy.” You slightly teased. He smiled and shook his head, leaving the kitchen with his sandwich. You held yourself, still smiling. His warmth against you filled you with bliss. You hummed happily to yourself.
“Oh! (Y/N)!” Holy came into the kitchen from behind you. You turned to her. What a nice surprise this was. “Mom!” You embraced her. She was in fact, like a mother to you. You had been living with the Kujo’s for 2 years now. You loved Holy with all your heart. She immediately hugged you back, squeezing you tight. You were both grinning, when you pulled away she spoke.
“And daughter! Want me to make you some lunch? Did Jotaro already make his sandwich?” She asked you, at which you replied with a nod.
” Yeah, he just left actually.” You pointed to the other exit from the kitchen behind you with your thumb.
“He’s such a busy boy, isn’t he?” She put her hands on her hips with a smile, “But I’ll make you lunch if you haven’t eaten yet.” She walked past you, swinging her arms happily.
“No, no, I’m honestly not that hungry.” You insisted. She turned to you; brows raised.
“But you didn’t even have any breakfast.” She told you, concerned. She grabbed two plated out of the cupboard, “Well, I’m making you something anyway, silly.” You let out a breathy laugh.
“If you say so, Holy.” You walked to the dining room, knelling down next to the table, sitting on your knees as she prepared you food.
She walked in after a short amount of time with what Jotaro had made, you looked up at her, surprised.
“A PB&J? Well…thank you!” You didn’t want to be disrespectful.
“I know Jotaro likes them and I do happen to know that you like them too.” She told you with a smile, “If you want me to make something else, I happily will!” She went to pick up the plate. You placed your hand on hers before she could reach the table.
“Don’t be silly! I love it, I’m sorry to complain…” You shook your head, embarrassed that you would do what you did.
“It’s alright!” She straightened back up, assuring you it was okay, “If Jotaro doesn’t come to dinner tonight, I’d like you to bring it to him, alright?” She gently told you, informing you of the task. You nodded.
“Alright.” You didn’t smile. You still didn’t want to bother him. She smiled and left then, making herself something.
You began to eat your lunch slowly, honestly tired, your depressing emotions were getting the best of you. When you finished you got up and put your plate in the kitchen sink, Holy had left.
It was about 3pm, so you figured a nap couldn’t hurt. You yawned before walking back to your room. When you passed the library, you stopped for a second, wanting so badly to say hello to your lover, but you kept walking. Arriving upon your room. You entered, feeling a little weak. You shut the door behind you and knelt down to the floor, geyying under your sheets. You wiggled, getting comfortable before falling asleep.
When you woke up it seemed to be dark out, you could see by the glow of the lamps through the transparency of your room’s front wall, where your door was. You shot up, leaving your room and walking at a fast pace to the kitchen.
“Oh Holy, I’m so sorry for being late!” You let out a heavy breath, ashamed. Holy turned to you, Japanese curry in front of her.
“You’re right on time, I just finished!” She grinned, handing you a big bowl full. Jeez, that was a lot. But Jotaro was a big guy, how could you even question it. “Now take that to Jotaro for me.” She told you before preparing a plate for you and her.
You left with a quick nervous smile on your face, making your way to Jotaro’s room.
When you arrived, you decided to knock without hesitation. The door quickly slid open. Jotaro smiled when he saw you, before even looking at the food you brought him.
“Looks good.” You handed him the plate, which he took. You just stood there, pursing your lips together.
“Come in, sit with me.” You shook your head, “No, you’re-. “
“Come in, (Y/N).” He practically demanded. You nodded and followed him as he returned to his desk. You closed the door behind the two of you. He sat down at his desk and you sat on the stool next to it.
“What’s up with you?” He asked, eyeing you. You didn’t look at him, but you replied.
“What do you mean?” You acted oblivious.
“Why have you been insisting on leaving me alone?” He really wanted to know.
“Jotaro, no no…I’m sorry. I just know you’re so busy, I just don’t want to get in your way.” You looked down. You had no idea that what you had been doing was bothering him. You honestly felt shitty.
(Y/N).)” He called for your attention. He stood up and knelt in front of you, taking your hand in his own. The brim of his hat wasn’t covering his eyes so you could actually look into them. You blushed slightly.
“You’ve never bothered me, not once.” He told you, eyes darting back and forth between your (E/C) ones. You swallowed.
“Do you want me to be honest about something?” He asked you, which made your heart skip a beat. You nodded.
“You are more important to me than any of this.” He looked to the books on his desk, “I mean it.” He looked back at you with a serious look on his face. You began to tear up.
“I’m sorry…I just-.” You began to reply, but he put a finger to your lips.
“Don’t be.” His smile grew. He stood up slightly, but he was leaning down so he was at eye level with you. He planted a soft kiss on your forehead.
“Bother me all you want.”
(Does this count as angst idek...hope you enjoyed!)

QUESTION OF THE DAY #6: Send me your most unpopular theatre opinion. Something that might make someone want to fight you. Please don’t be offensive (racist, misogynistic, etc.), but other than that…go as hard as you want. Spill all the tea.
MY ANSWERS: 1) The Pretty Woman score fucking slaps idek, 2) Come From Away (or even Bandstand...) should’ve won the 2017 Best Musical Tony, 3) I prefer the West End Heathers cast album to Off Broadway, 4) Shows shouldn’t sweep the Tonys just because they’re Best Musical worthy...shows that aren’t too critically acclaimed but have really impressive elements should get recognition too.
SUMMARY: Out of 37 responses: 5 were about Dear Evan Hansen, 3 were about Hamilton specifically, 2 were about: Rent, ALW, Wicked, In The Heights, Be More Chill, etc. etc....if your favorite musical is one of these and you get easily offended i wouldn’t read these.
NOTE: I agree with some of these, I highly disagree with others. I do not endorse any of the things that were said, I am simply sharing them with you all. These were what was sent to me. I’m going to number them so if you want to complain about or agree with one you can send me an ask with the number you’re referring to.

2. Anonymous said: Unpopular opinion: Bootlegs harm to local theatre communities, though I do not believe anyone intends for that to be the case. While it's possible to bootleg responsibly (and I might even say it's beneficial to do so), those who may not know the intricacies of theatrical copyright law or who haven't heard the horror stories from a theatre that's been hit with legal action DUE to a bootleg may record or watch a show irresponsibly, which can greatly harm other routes of theatre accessibility.

6. nerdshrimp said: Unpopular opinion: Next To Normal does a better job of portraying the effects of mental illness than Dear Evan Hansen does. N2N also doesn't romanticise mental illness & excuse shitty behavior like DEH tries to
7. Anonymous said: Hadestown is a lesser show on Broadway. I fell in love with the live album, and I was so excited for it to come to Broadway. I was so disappointed to see the changes they made. Orpheus and Eurydice's relationship is less interesting and more generic. The changed lyrics are often sloppy and not as good as the original. They fucking wrecked Epic III. Also, no hate to R/ee/ve, but he's just not a good enough singer to convince me that he could soften the heart of Hades. His high notes are awful.

24. Anonymous said: Rent sucks and while it was a stepping stone for more ""controversial"" topics to appear on Broadway it's actually biphobic and features several generally terrible people doing generally terrible things and doesn't actually address the real crisis at all; it's all performative wokeness. The only real good it did was cast a bunch of "nobodies" for the time and make theater somewhat more accessible.
25. stardust-and-seas said: Dear Evan Hansen doesn't properly address mental health despite being about mental health and resolves nobodies character arcs satisfactorily. It's another show that reaches its hands around the throats of marginalized teenagers saying "look I'm relatable!!" The songs taken out of context are significantly more powerful than when placed in the context of the show, which gives us exactly zero evidence of Evan's work to improve and also never resolves Evan's u healthy goals in the first place.
26. stardust-and-seas said: Be More Chill is a raging dumpster fire and the only decent song from it, Michael in the Bathroom, reads as a whiny rich white boy whose potential social anxiety and depression is left ambiguous, which is exactly what it is. When taken out of context it better exemplifies the othering that happens to marginalized groups but lets be real here: bullying/cliques don't happen to "just anyone"; it's the marginalized groups that are othered and abandoned for not being "normal"
27. stardust-and-seas said: There's a difference between shows that don't take themselves seriously because they're meant to be fun and light and shows that pretend not to take themselves too seriously but want to be taken seriously by the audience and the latter always ends up mediocre at best

Since it recently came up, 10 for athos/d’artagnan?
premise: I haven’t reread the book in ages so idk if this is book or bbc show canon but I know it’s relying on my horrible headcanons that can be dated back to high school so idek
10. “Come on, let me see what we are dealing with here.”
“What the hell,” Athos says under his breath for the fifteenth time since... well. A long enough time, he supposes. “What in the fresh hell.”
It’s not - this is ridiculous. It’s nothing he should be swearing about. It’s just - no. He sighs, tries to take a step forward, towards the well -
And no.
The path is still blocked.
What the -
“Come on,” he says, knowing not so deep down that he’s being ridiculous and he’s not drunk enough at all to make this pass for something he has any justification to do or say. At least if he was drunk he would have an excuse. Sweet Lord in Heaven, he really hopes neither Porthos or Aramis pass by here because he would never hear the end of it, would he. “Come on, I just have to go get some water, can you move?”
He had tried to keep his voice low.
He doesn’t quite manage it.
The fact that it’s d’Artagnan who hears him from the nearby stable is the only saving grace of this ridiculous, undignified mess - at least he won’t hold it against him for the next fifty years of their lives, if they live that long.
“Come on,” he says, moving closer, “let’s see what are we dealing with here, you’ve been stuck there for - oh.”
“Oh,” Athos mutters, staring at the fucking ten sheep blocking his way to the well and sort of surrounding the both of them who have pretty much kept him surrounded since he started heading for the well, as in, half an hour ago when d’Artagnan asked him nicely if he could go get some water for the both of them - summer in Gascony is, after all, hardly chilly. “I don’t know, all right? You are the one with some - knowledge. With them. Not me.”
“It’s all right,” d’Artagnan says, sounding amused, what the hell, again. “I was certainly not expecting any of you to actually guess what could be their problem.”
“And what is their problem?”
D’Artagnan shrugs. “They haven’t been sheared in a while and they don’t know you. I suppose they are quite annoyed. Never mind, just stand behind me.”
Athos does, as d’Artagnan takes a step forward and runs a hand behind the neck of one of the sheep in question, and on one side he kind of wants to know who would name a sheep Mireille and on the other he decides that it’s best left alone for now, and so he lets the other man do - whatever it is that you do with sheep to convince them to disperse, and admittedly he does manage, after a short while. Mireille looks up at him before letting out a bleat and moving to the side to munch on some grass.
All the others do the same, leaving the way free.
“Come on,” d’Artagnan says, “before they decide they’re done with lunch.”
Athos immediately follows him past the sheep barrier to the well, where the both of them haul up some fresh water and damn, he hadn’t realized he was this thirsty until he actually tasted water again, and - actually, he’s hot, and so he ends up throwing on himself the water in the basin after he hauls up another load of it, it’s not like he won’t be dry in a few minutes considering how fucking warm it is.
When d’Artagnan asked them if they wanted to spend part of the summer in his family’s estate in Gascony in exchange for some help on the farm, he could have warned them that it would get like this, not that he can complain about it since the upsides have been... plenty, he reasons.
He puts the basin down, and then he meets d’Artagnan’s eyes -
Which look a shade or two darker than usual, considering how much he’s staring at his wet white chemise that is also sticking to his chest - right, he did just throw the entire basin on himself, after all.
“That,” d’Artagnan says, “was a very unfair move.”
“Was it,” Athos replies, opening the first of the laces on its neck, suddenly very aware of what he’s just done and deciding that he does like it. He’s usually not the one out of the two of them who goes out of the way for this, but -
“Indeed,” d’Artagnan says, moving closer, “because we should be fixing those chairs in the stables before my brother wonders how long it’s taking us, and yet now I can think of only one other thing... that’s not really fixing chairs.”
Athos lets himself smile a fraction.
“As far as I recall...” He says, licking some more water from his lips, watching d’Artagnan biting down on his tongue as he moves closer, “we weren’t doing too badly and we just needed to fix another couple, which would not take too long. And your brother said he would be back by sunset. It is a long time before sunset.”
“That it is,” d’Artagnan moves closer, crowding him up against the tree, licking his lips again, hands going to the knotted laces of his chemise, opening up the first set. “After all, Porthos and Aramis are on the other side of the estate,” he ponders, and then he grins, in a way that makes Athos’s knees go weak, “and no one is going to bother us here now. I told my brother I would not have appreciated it.”
“Does it mean you would be amenable to take a break?” Athos whispers, and he’s finding out he does not mind being on this side of the conversation for once. It is quite fun to tease rather than be teased, after all.
“If you do not mind them staring at us,” d’Artagnan says, nodding towards the sheep who are now... well. Staring at them, sort of. The one d’Artagnan was whispering to before certainly is.
Then again, it’s bloody sheep. Who cares.
“No,” he says. “Maybe they’ll learn to not stand in my way if they do.”
“Well then,” d’Artagnan smiles, “I do not think that we have any other obstacles to face, then,” and a moment later his mouth is on Athos’s, his hands grasping his still cold, wet shirt, his tongue searching for Athos’s as Athos parts his lips for him, and so what if the damned sheep don’t move when d’Artagnan’s hands unlace his trousers and find their way inside them and under his underwear?
After all, if he doesn’t try to keep his moans particularly low and therefore they certainly heard, it’s not as if they can tell anyone else.
(Later, they actually do let him pass when he’s close to them. Aramis and Porthos keep complaining that the damned sheep hate them and not him.
Athos does not explain them what happened that afternoon at all.
There’s a limit to everything, after all.)

what more can you do?
WOO! this week’s episode was sad and weird and badly paced and startlingly, unevenly mature in true titans fashion. i loved it (with reservations)! let’s talk about it in excruciating detail:
SPOILERS ahead.
1. i can’t say that i’m awfully thrilled about the show following up on a character’s literal suicide attempt by... not addressing said suicide attempt at all. maybe it’s the awkward way an entire episode’s worth of flashback was shoehorned in between the end of 2.07--where dick literally talked jason off the ledge while in the throes of a psychotic break of his own--and the beginning of this one, but it’s honestly not just bad storytelling, but irresponsible storytelling.
1.5. in a general sense, tho, the tableau at the beginning of the episode is so egregiously unfair--so shockingly, plainly one-sided, with a slump shouldered dick facing the world, only kory on his side, that it’s quite apparent that it’s the lowest these heroes can go. and i do think their individual reactions to dick’s confession provide an interesting insight into their characters. hank and dawn have been operating alone for so long, each a reminder of their traumas and losses and very human frailty to the other, without even the resources that dick and the batman enjoy. it’s been them v the world for so goddamn long; is it any wonder that they were looking for the first excuse to bail out of there, to not Deal with the idea that what they were doing to deal with their traumas and guilt was clearly not working, and dick was--and has been always--so willing to be the scapegoat? hank punching dick was utterly unwarranted--but i can accept that as part of the unaddressed emotional outbursts arising out of years of accumulated head injuries from both college football and vigilantism. (this isn’t to excuse what he did but to contextualise it within hank’s history and personality.) their instinct when facing ugly truths is to retreat to what they think is familiar and what they need--except, as hank realises later in the episode, that’s exactly what’s fucking them up further.
rose is understandably upset at being lied to about her brother’s death and the titans being complicit in the same--but i’m curious that her reaction was to merely leave and not try and fight them. maybe after being defeated by dick while sparring and nearly being killed by rachel she was sensible enough to realise that she couldn’t take them on all at once? i don’t know--she’s curiously been a bit of a cipher this season. jason leaving with her made sense tho--unburdened of the weight of being the team’s scapegoat, understandably miffed at dick for keeping a secret that nearly cost him his life and left him with a great deal of trauma, just Angry at the world in general, he gravitates towards rose, the only other outsider/rebel who tried to reach out to him when everybody else shunned him or looked at him like an impostor. i think the decision was more impulsive than anything--they still look confused and uncertain in the taxi as they leave the tower behind. but--i don’t know. theirs is the storyline that i’m the most perplexed about. we just don’t have a lot of information about either of them, rose especially.
(a part of me still thinks she’s slade’s mole in the tower. but why would she leave if she is? to keep up appearances bc to react in any other way to the news of her brother’s death would be suspicious? maybe she left because her job is done and the titans were splitting up? maybe she was part of the long game to seduce jason over to slade’s side--seeking revenge for dick swaying jericho over to the titans’? am i going to stop asking myself questions in this post? am i ever going to write a review that’s not just stream-of-consciousness nonsense? only time will tell.)
DONNA. oh, donna. her decision to leave seems to me a logical continuation of her s2 arc that i’d talked about in a previous review--paranoid, insecure, retraumatised, and taking out her frustrations on jason and dick. it’s also very interesting to me that she complained to rachel about dick treating them like “soldiers” and only told them things that he deemed that they “need[ed] to know.” it was because of jillian and whatever mysterious business that themyscira was conducting in sf that she and garth and slade ever landed up in that airport at all; even worse, jillian deemed it was something that donna didn’t need to know until it was too late. donna lost so much in that fiasco--the man she loved, her friends, several members of her amazon family, and her sense of purpose, her belief in her strength and her destiny and her faith that other people trusted her as a warrior and as a leader. she’s projecting all that pain onto dick--who again, doesn’t deserve all this shit but takes it anyway because of his own issues.
1.8. and, like. as much as jericho’s death became the Traumatic Event that overshadowed almost everything else in dick’s life for the last five years and helps explain a lot of his hang-ups right from s1, it just doesn’t have the same significance for the others. don’t get me wrong--i’m sure hank, donna and dawn are devastated and guilty about the part that they had to play in manipulating jericho and his eventual death. but their issues with each other, with the titans tower and with their past run deeper and in different directions, and i think all of that came into play when they each decided to go their separate ways.
1.95. idek what the fuck is going on with rachel. i felt every ounce of dick’s heartbreak and devastation when she got up to leave with donna. for all that she saved dick in the first episode of this season, she still hasn’t reached the point where she’s willing to unburden her emotions and issues on him. it must be frustrating and sad for her to realise just how much dick didn’t trust her either. but there’s something else going on as well: maybe she’s realised she has no real control over her re-emerging powers, and, carrying on with the fatalistic attitude she had at the end of 2.05, she wants to spare the titans the chaos and darkness that she carries around with her. (she’s used to running away at this point, after all.) she goes with donna bc donna knows her the least: it would therefore be easy to fool her and escape.
2. more faddei! and kory backstory! \o/
it’s curious that they never once bring up trigon, because s1 gave the impression that she’d come to earth with a specific mission to seek his portal out and destroy it before he could, y’know, Fuck The Universe Up. faddei makes it sound like kory just went on this fun little sabbatical before taking up royal duties, which kiiinda undercuts a lot of what was cool about her s1 arc. i realise you aren’t entirely happy with your freshman season, titans, and s2 looks like it might be a soft reboot, but you don’t have to mutilate it like this!
but seriously. the stakes just got upped exponentially for kory, and it would be really interesting to see where she goes from here. apart from a promise to rachel, she doesn’t really owe the rest of the titans anything--not that i think she views relationships in such transactional terms, of course. on the other hand, abandoning her responsibilities on tamaran has led to its takeover by an unfit leader and the deaths of several of her family and friends. the choice shouldn’t be a choice at all. she should go back home. and yet--she waited too long, and the choice has been taken away from her. faddei is dead, both of their ships are destroyed, and she is stuck on earth, grieving and frustrated and furious. kory is usually very clear headed about exactly where she stands emotionally, but after such a big event, she must be feeling so much pain, guilt, sorrow, anger, even resentment. it’s so easy to look at kory’s level-headedness and open, empathetic personality and use her to prop up other characters, but i hope that this isn’t always the case, and that she’ll be allowed to really work through these emotions while somebody else looks out for her.
2.35. (the little snippets of faddei and kory just enjoying the shit out of the Little Things that humanity has to offer is just... it filled me with so much warmth. i wouldn’t mind an entire episode of them just chilling and exploring and annoying each other with badly-applied out-of-context pop culture references)
2.5. blackfire! i don’t know much about comics!blackfire beyond “she was starfire’s sister, Evil, and possibly sold her sister into slavery??? yikes” so i’m just going purely off what the show has revealed about her so far. it was honestly disconcerting to see so many references to her possible disability (?) and to see both that and the efforts to accommodate her spoken about in... i want to say mocking way? i don’t know. i just saw a murder mystery/thriller movie today where the serial killer was revealed to have been both disabled from birth and mentally ill, and maybe i’m just feeling extra sensitive to the truly disturbing and pervasive trope of having disabled characters be Evil--and tying their Evil to their disability.
2.8. anyhow, blackfire appears to have accumulated a fair bit of power in the time that kory’s been gone: not only can she remotely possess other tamaraneans but she can blow up their ships too. (and didn’t faddei say that she had goons on the ground, looking for starfire?)
2.9. it’s a Lot to deal with this late in the season. maybe kory will leave for tamaran to deal with blackfire once and for all at the end of the season. and if titans ends up cancelled, wouldn’t that be a bittersweet ending.
(wherein ‘bittersweet’ translates to ‘devastating’ ofc)
3. oh where do i even start with dick
his worst fears came true. after his confession, not only did his old friends up and leave, but so did rachel and jason, which he found more heartbreaking than anything else. utterly consumed by guilt and convinced more than ever before of his culpability, he actively seeks out ways to self-flagellate, first by going to adeline to apologise, then by banishing himself, then by making sure he is punished (tho i have my doubts on that last one; will elaborate a little later). after watching him have an extended psychotic break and dash into not one but two suicide missions, watching dick grayson do this to himself feels like watching an extended feature on human suffering. it’s not fun, or pretty, and i can feel it reaching its nadir so that dick can bounce back up again, but i hope it happens soon.
(dick’s natural tendency to internalise guilt and responsibility into a hard little diamond core at his centre and his long training with batman with all the emphasis on secrets and subterfuge with a healthy underpinning of paranoia ironically means that he does so much goddamn emotional labour for this team. he’s the glue that keeps them together, that gives them purpose. he’s trying so hard to do good by everybody that he isn’t really able to achieve it with any of them, which leads to another self-flagellating spiral and him determining to try harder and the cycle just keeps going on. only kory seems to have ever broken this cycle, because she’s never demanded anything of him, nor he of her. it’s really sad to think how bereft dick feels right now, and more than that, how it’s stopping him from being there for the people who really do need him and trust him, like gar and rachel.)
3.25. adeline makes a very good point about how merely apologising doesn’t mean you’re owed forgiveness, and that seeking it out after all these years is a self-serving exercise in itself. but i can see dick taking it hard, especially after discovering that she’s letting slade--the man who actually killed her son--recuperate at her home. (and let’s be clear: however good her intentions, she participated in lying to her child about the truth of what his father actually does. wow, jericho was really just fucked over by pretty much every one he loved, wasn’t he?)
but i am glad to see dick isn’t so far gone that he takes the blame for jericho’s death in front of slade. he’s very aware that slade has permanently broken the team and very aware of the threat slade poses if they ever try to get back together again, but he’s not going to completely surrender every last shred of his self-worth and dignity to this man, and that was refreshing to see.
3.5. so he banishes himself to the farthest place he can think of with nothing more than the shirt on his back and a single duffel bag. it’s so over-the-top yet so... dick grayson.
3.8. BUT WAIT! ~PLOT TWIST~
ok so here’s what’s happening, all right? strap in:
a) jericho is one hundred percent inside slade. i have no doubts about this. adeline knows this too. it’s why she was so even-keeled while talking to dick, why she confidently said that jericho loved dick, and why she said “they” might be willing to forgive him. i’m thinking when slade crawled back home, jericho took advantage of his father’s momentary weakness to tell what was happening to his mother.
b) jericho tried to communicate to dick. i saw something somewhere which said that slade had gestured something very specific in asl while conversing with dick? i’m willing to believe that was intentional.
c) when dick was turning to leave and slade called him one last time and gave his “banishment sentence” jericho likely jumped bodies from slade to dick
d) so why did dick get himself arrested at the airport?
- dick was going through, as others have speculated, a dissociative episode. given how he’s exhibited signs of mental illness throughout this season this isn’t that far out of the realm of possibility, but it’s a weak and redundant narrative bridge and wasn’t shot in a way that suggested that it was a mental break. so i’m ruling this out.
- jericho took over. maybe he felt that this was the only way he could force dick to stay in sf. maybe some of his father’s anger/resentment leeched into him and he wanted to dick to experience some actual punishment instead of scarpering again. maybe he was overwhelmed by dick’s own self-flagellating tendencies and chose the shortest route to maximum pain. maybe it’s a combination of all three.
- dick finally got his brain into gear and realised at the last minute that jericho had possessed slade and was trying to tell him something. why he then proceeded to get himself arrested instead of running out of the airport is a mystery.
personally, i’m leaning towards the ‘jericho possessed dick’ possibility.
4. gar is such a sweetheart and i am so glad that he took centrestage this episode, even though, like always, it was to support another character and ended up with him crying and begging for help from an unresponsive dick. *sighs*
4.5. much like dick himself, he’s trying to do good by everybody, only to end up badly misjudging a situation, and all alone.
5. oof. this has gone on for far too long and i am Tired. more thoughts to come later, because right now my brain is as disorganised as... as disorganised as a titans episode. hah! self-burn!!!

i’m having trouble looking at screens and stuff (vestibulitis, i believe) so i’m nauseous and dizzy, and just gonna take breaks as needed~
-
02:07
rEALLY like the visual and sound edits on the recap !!!
......one minute later as the recap ends, i realise how ridiculous it is that i’m like “hey!!! the people who make this show professionally actually made something good!!!”
-
02:09
............ARE THEY KIDDING
ANOTHER ONE???? STRAIGHT OFF THE BAT????
YEAH OKAY

WISHLIST: PUT MISHA IN A FRILLY SHIRT
also adoring the fact they’re just going full-out with telling stories through fashion here.
like. i am a fan
-
02:16
“arbour, it’s me!!!”
“winston, god”
wait wait i gotta check who wrote this.
ahh steve yockey, good
i checked because i was like “wait, that doesn’t seem like the deadly duo writing style, or name choice”
now it makes sense
.........well her name was harper but close enough
-
02:18
how dare all three of these incredibly white people be so cute? why
-
02:20
wiNSTON IS THE CUTEST MOST ADORABLE HUMAN ON THIS PLANET
but given the nature of this show, that makes me suspect he’s a vampire or something
-
02:21
ohhhhkay that’s the music and the sequence from that spider man movie
-
02:22
now i think he’s gonna die
-
like. immediately
he’s gonna get hit by a car or something
oh god i can’t look
-
02:23
................................yup
-
02:26
jack: “maybe i’m allergic to sitting around doing nothing”
he is so much like cas
-
02:26
dean: “cas is an insurance policy on those hunts”
OH GOD NOW I JUST REALISED HOW BADLY I WANT AN EPISODE OF JUST CAS HUNTING BY HIMSELF AND SOLVING A CASE ALL BY HIMSELF
also with jack. and with dean and sam. but CAS ALL BY HIMSELF
-
02:28
h e l p
-
02:29
jack: “we can be hunting buddies!!”
dean: “okay. A) don’t call it that--”
that little nervous huff though
WHY DEAN? IS THAT WHAT YOU AND CAS CALL EACH OTHER WHEN YOU NEED TIME ALONE? “HUNTING BUDDIES”
-
02:33
“DICK’S RED ROOSTER DINER”
tell me that doesn’t sound like five-star “eat some penis cock here” signage
and dean drives up with his manly phallic symbol
-
02:37
i love this woman for making dean make this face
-
02:38
I GASPED OUT LOUD
ANYONE WHO DOUBTED ME ON THE PHALLIC DINER NAME BEING A BISEXUAL DEAN THING, CASE IN POINT
THAT IS THE MOST PHALLIC NON-PENIS OBJECT I HAVE EVER SEEN
(i have so many questions. did someone find it in a thrift store and keep it for years until they found the right way to use it? did they get it made specially? THAT THING EXISTED FOR THIS EXACT PURPOSE)
THERE’S A CAKE RIGHT THERE, WHICH IS A DEAN-LIKES-MEN THING (VS. DEAN-LIKES-WOMEN BEING PIE)
AND HE PUSHES IT AWAY WHEN THE LADY IS LIKE “DATING VS SEX, SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE THE SEX”
DEAN RESISTS THE SEX WITH MEN BECAUSE HE WANTS COURTING & DATING FIRST
WITH CAS
BECAUSE WHO THE FUCK ELSE
I am dying
this symbolism is killing me
great!!!! i want to place an order for 3000 more of these please, thank you, i’ll pay in cash
fyi there is no doubt in my mind that dean is bi and knows it. he’s written as bi, the writers know it, the directors know it, the set decorators know it, and jensen knows it (he’s intelligent and he has a dirty mind, he knows exactly what that cock means. like, neither dean or jensen need need to know what “bi” means or remember what the flag looks like to know the concept and experience occasional attraction to men as a part of his personality)
-
02:52
sam: “that wing man was you”
charlie: “no it wasn’t”
rainbow in the background behind charlie’s head
no worries, she may be a different person but she’s still gay af
-
02:53
the love of charlie’s life was kara/cara
i’m taking notes
C UPCAKE BaKERY !!!
-
02:55
oh “tara” not kara or cara
.......oh man that is the worst backstory :c
-
02:57
trust dean to be surrounded by cocks and be like “but i like pie women”
shoutout to that lil pink sugar box on the left
-
02:59
headcanon: dean sniffs cocks before he puts them in his mouth
BUT SERIOUSLY THEY HAD HIM PUT A COCK IN HIS MOUTH. THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. VISUALLY. WE JUST SAW THAT HAPPEN WITH OUR OWN EYES.
WOMEN PIE IN ONE HAND AND MEN COCK IN THE OTHER ARE YOU KIDDING ME
I’M FUCKING REELING HERE
DEAN IS THE MOST BISEXUAL
HE STARTS WITH THE WOMEN PIE BUT THEN HE’S LIKE YEAH OKAY I’LL TRY THIS MEN COCK ... PRETTY GOOD YUP
I DIDN’T THINK THEY’D EVER TOP THE CAKE=MEN THING BUT THEY DID. THEY EVEN PUT THE CAKE AND THE COCK TOGETHER TO PAIR THEM TOGETHER AS SIMILAR METAPHORS (SEEN IN THAT EARLIER SCREENSHOT)
I’M NEVER TAKING CAPS LOCK OFF AGAIN
no but actually 911 hello yes this is obscene
-
sidenote, this is reminding me slightly of my destiel chicken au Roost
three guesses why
-
03:07
jack: “no, you back off, old man”
FOR SOME REASON I’M HARDCORE ROOTING FOR JACK RIGHT NOW
EVEN THOUGH THAT CLEARLY HURT DEAN’S FEELINGS
-
03:12
harper’s apartment is #2
two people, takes two to tango
two of cups in tarot is new love/romance/relationship/friendship
-
03:17
harper and jack getting along
was harper meant to be a cas parallel or was the trenchcoat just a visual thing at the start? because she wore a completely different coat when he brought jack to her place
i considered that her thing with the old man, paired with jack calling dean “old man” maybe made it a “dean’s getting older but cas is immortal” thing which makes me VERY SAD
-
did dean just call vance “archie” ? as in archie comics? as in riverdale?
-
i feel like there’s some form of symbolism in another man wrestling dean so he goes tumbling into a waterfall of romance novels
-
03:32
“a brass nail dipped in sugar water can kill it”
sooooooo... something brass covered in soda
(edit: or just shoot it, okie dokie)
-
03:37
harper: “it’s a little game we play”
well i mean... if you’re gonna be undead and magic, then this does seem like a fun kinky thing
seducing other boys and killing them
sure
-
03:45
dean: “you know, jack, you’re pretty smart sometimes”
yeah
i love them both <3
also when dean said “love gets crazier that that” i expected jack to ask dean if he’d ever been in love
-
03:47
OH MAN
that was a great episode 10/10 easily. my favourite episode from this season so far
my favourite part was dean + all the cocks
best part was sam comparing charlie to the musca and convincing her to stick around
i LOVED the two hunts, and getting to see two different teams doing unrelated things but enjoying both
i like that harper didn’t die
i love that charlie and sam saved the black guy and he didn’t die
idek what else to say, this was a fine piece of writing
and i can’t even complain about a lack of representation, really, since everyone besides dean/sam/jack either turned out dead or evil and that would just add to the representation problem
(BUT WHERE WAS CAS????????????? WHERE WAS CAS????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? LITERALLY DON’T EVEN KNOW)
I am worried about jack but know he’ll ultimately be fine
I WILL NEVER BE OVER THE BISEXUAL DEAN THING THOUGH
THAT WAS A PYRAMID OF PURE 22 CARAT GOLD AND I LOVE EVERYONE WHO HAD A HAND IN CREATING THAT FOREVER. especially director richard speight jr, since i have the feeling he mostly concocted this himself since it was 100% visual and maybe not even in the script and he’s done unscripted penis jokes before

ok here's some totally incoherent thoughts about endgame that i just have to write down or i might explode spoilers: i loved it also actual spoilers spoilers very spoilery spoilers
1. Steve and the goddddamn mjölnir!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! when thor, iron man and cap were like 'aw yeahhh we're gonna fight thanos' i was like what the heckie is steve even doing there, supersoldier or not he's just a human. then thor drops his hammer and i’m like oh my gods please literally crossing my fingers. then thor’s fight is not going so well and oh no he definitely needs someone to save him! i’m like ohhhhhmygooddss. and THEN IT FINALLY HAPPENS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS HELL YEAHHHHH
2. steve & peggy dance. yes. just yes. fucking finally. i love it. it was perfect i cried
3. clint should’ve died. (finally haha) he was my fave since before the avengers and i was so sure he was going to die back then, but then he didn’t and look what’s became of him since.......... i had a violent flashback to watching age of ultron for the first time and for the first time just hoping that my fave character (that would be clint) would just die, bc they’re screwing his character over so badly........ and most definitely it. should. not. have. been. natasha. who. died. that was such a bullshit i mean WHAT THE FUCK???? i mean maybe clint and natasha were the only remaining avengers that actually loved each other (?¿¿????¿¿¿?¿ tho that’s just flimsy, i’m just trying to....idek) and that’s why it had to be them on that stupid fuckin death cliff, but why did natasha have to die?? just because clint had a family (still with no actual characterization, not that i even care, or maybe i would if the movies had given me any reason to...) to return to and she didn’t??that fucking sucks and what sucks even more is that not only was natasha the only character that died (i’m not even counting tony, bc that was very Different) but she’s the only original female avenger AND it’s the same stupd fucking rock that the only original female gotg gamora died in such a bullshit way just last movie??? goddddd i hated that so much like maybe if she hadn’t been the first one to die and all the original avengers would’ve died as was i kinda hoping (tho i love happy endings so i didn’t actually hope that it would happen..), maybe then i would be okay with her being dead. now i am very much not okay, and that means very much not okay in a angry way, not in a sad way
4. speaking of death: to me tony’s was perfect. i might not be the biggest fan of how he always got the most screentime and a bigger role than other characters, but i can’t deny that he definitely is the heart of the whole mcu and it had to be him who saves the day in the end and what else could it have been that a very tony-like self-sacrifice..... god i cried. i loved that he got a funeral (even tho natasha didn’t...) and i loved his funeral with all the people and fricking harley and then the kid saying how much she likes cheeseburgers and the frickin ‘proof that tony stark has a heart’ and sfghkklkghhhh
5. i gasped audibly when i noticed that natasha was wearing the arrow necklace
6. i kinda forgot that vision ever even existed..... in the end i first thought that wanda was talking about pietro and then i was like ok well maybe not maybe she’s talking about tony or something WHICH MAKES NO SENSE LOL i don’t even remember what she actually said, but as was pointed out to me, she was probably talking about vision. who was a thing that existed... whoops
7. ugh i hate brucenat, i really thought we were over that shit already. i also very much disliked that they actually decided to go with professor hulk, but idk w/e i don’t care that much. but natasha’s death sucked tho and the one thing i do not want to see is bruce’s pain or whatever when the movie didn’t even give me the time or reason to actually grieve for her goddd that whole thing was such a bullshit
8. i did not like that thor was treated as a joke most of his screentime........
9. that stevepeggy dance tho. love it. it’ll probably take me at least another seven years to get over it
10. i fricking adored the whole going back in time thing, especially the 2012. the callbacks and the humor really worked for me, the elevator scene straight from cap2 but reversed and hail hydra and steve fighting steve and loki’s expressions when things go wrong and goddhhh i loved it all aaaaaaa, that was the moment when i was like ok i need to see this movie again immediately.... also the fact that their time travel rules were that they were just creating new paths or w/e i guess, and not actually changing what happened to them specifically... good. so many aus
11. that final battle was so perfectly epic
12. tho shouldn’t valkyrie’s (who really just doesn’t have a real name, now does she..) horse have died after being shot haha
13. i loved that clint had the gauntlet for so long, like he’s definitely the Least Qualified Person to keep it safe, why would that be his job, it was amazing
14. i hated natasha’s death with burning passion, but i loved how she and clint fought each other over who gets to throw themselves off that cliff. tho i really hoped that their ‘yeahh we know what we have to do’ would’ve rather meant that they decided to just throw red skull down bc who even knows if it even actually needs love sacrifice or w/e, a soul is a soul is a soul
15. i loved the human jarvis whatever-his-first-name-was cameo and i really need to finally watch/rewatch agent carter
16. i really liked the tony howard scene even if i thought it felt a bit iffy, bc i feel like there’s so much more to unpack w/ those daddy issues.... but maybe that scene means that there is that one universe where howard was actually a good dad. i want to believe that. yeah. (maybe not but let me dream)
17. i like how they totally forgot that sharon carter ever even existed
18. damn that moment when black panther comes through that portal
19. damn that moment when gi ant-man is giant
20. damn that final battle was so epic
21. damn that steve with mjölnir
22. this movie was SO GOOD when it was good and so mehhh when it was bad, and i’m really glad that it was just good enough that i can forgive overlook all of its flaws. (tho i will not forgive what they did to natasha, even if i can mostly ignore it when thinking about how good most of the rest of the movie was) but idk if it would’ve been perfect, maybe i wouldn’t have survived like there’s this One Huge Thing (natasha) that really brings down the movie that otherwise would’ve been just Amazing
23. i don’t know if my heart has ever beaten as fast as when steve finally picks up the hammer. never while watching a movie, at least
24. i love that carol has her short haircut, bc it bothered me so much in cpn marvel that she should not have been able to see anything when her hair was just constantly on her face haha
25. i feel nothing but seething resentment towards clint’s stupid family and that stupid family man role he is stuck with
26. why was natasha’s hair so weird and ugly. why can’t it just be red??
27. clint’s hair was weird and ugly too and i think i have finally kinda given up on mcu!clint (tho he has those small Very Good moments and i cry for what could’ve been.....we could’ve have it aaaaaalllll.... i think i’m going to watch swat (2003) again and still pretend it’s the clint backstory movie i deserve haha, it’s been ages since i’ve seen it idk if it would still work for me, i’m gonna try)
28. i love nebula tho
29. i loved the trip down memory lane! frigga!!!! the way the continuation of the avengers capturing loki just felt so natural and like it probably happened just like that! nebula and rhodey judging quill’s singing and dancing haha yes! everything! just as i was hoping it would be!
30. doesn’t really have anything to do with this movie but: i still firmly believe that coulson never died. i still firmly believe that pietro never died.
31. falcon cap helll yeah!!
32. i guess i’ll never get my strike team delta movie with clintasha best friends soulmates and with buckynat and the red room......... goddd there really should’ve been a black widow movie after cap2. like that was The Perfect Spot for a black widow movie, it’s really a crime that there isn’t one, and even if they make a black widow movie now, it’ll definitely be too little too late.
33. like..... a for effort..... for that female heroes girl power.... ughhhh.... scene, i guess, but that. does. not. cut. it. when you have just killed natasha
34. things i really wished they would say in some perfect moments: “hail hydra” “avengers assemble!” “i am iron man”. things they did say in those moments: “hail hydra” “avengers assemble” “i am iron man”, gogssgddd that was perfect (ok i also really did wish steve would’ve said the “i could do this all day” in the fight but couldn’t say bc the movie had just made fun of that.. i’m kinda sad but haha it’s not that big of a deal, maybe if he hadnt said it in civil war which i dont like but well...)
35. haha people are already complaining about the steve going back thing and how it’s definitely not moving on and erasing character development or whatever and HA. i finally got my stevepeggy dance i don’t care about anything else i am so happy!!!!!
36. i am so glad i managed to avoid any spoilers bc i hear that there was some pretty massive ones going around??¿?¿?
37. also: ok from here on out i am not here for any of you negative nancys complaining (probably very reasonable complaints idec) about the movie, god i really wish it was 2012 again
38. in final thoughts: i absolutely loved it and i love that it turns out that i’m apparently still very much marvel trash........ if natasha hadn’t died, especially in such a bullshit way, i would’ve been able to overlook everything else that was kinda meh about the movie and just purely and blindly loved it. i still did love it, a lot, but now there’s that bitter aftertaste.....
ok now, maybe that’s enough rambling and repeating myself....... i’m going to need to see it again asap
//EDIT
39. I FORGOT TO MENTION IT BC I FORGOT ABOUT IT but goooooooooodddd i loved nebula and tony playing that game in the beginning and tony letting nebula win ääääää

soulmate!jeno
Request: can i request a lil soulmate!au in a non-idolverse for jeno, please? i've been feeling super soft for him lately hehe ☺️💐💝💝(Hihihihihi!!! I can rlly feel u, partner, so this is a definite yes!!)
others: jaemin | haechan | jisung
you’ve met him in your dreams
you know that he’s there and he talks with you sometimes
but his face is always kind of blurry and you can’t remember much of it when you wake up
one thing for sure is that you know he’s a really handsome boy and your heart thumps just thinking about him even if you forget his face
you can remember meeting him way back when you were kids
and he was such a sweet puff all the way back then to you too
even now he’s so amazingly sweet and soft and kind of shy to you now that you’re older and the chances of you actually meeting in person has skyrocketed
you’re not really sure where your dreams take place most of the time
more often than not they’re in a place you or he recognizes
you used to play tag when running around your house or he’d show you all the neat stuff in his room and tell you a different story about every single thing each time
even once the two of you got older that small childish love and innocence never went away once the teenage awkwardness was supposed to set in
the both of you just refused to become that way and instead stay loving and supportive of each other
even if you could never remember each other’s faces or each other’s names and it was just a fuzzy picture of each other when trying to remember
even his voice which you loved since he liked to talk to you softly as opposed to how loud he would screech when running away from you on this hill in a certain dream
both of you actually weren’t sure where it was because it wasn’t like a park or a place nearby your houses or schools
and the two of you were constantly on the lookout for it and it kind of felt like a childish adventure sometimes and was really fun but he always complained it’d be better to do it with you
as you got older the adventures to seek out the mysterious fun hill stopped and instead you both went on with other things
especially since you moved to a different neighborhood with your family and had to get settled there
you remember being in the dreamscape first because you were so tired, when normally it was your soulmate who was there first
you usually greeted him with a surprise hug and jumping onto his back or grabbing his hand and feeling his warmness or even just tapping his shoulder and getting picked up and spun around because he was so happy to see you
this time you were the one greeted when you felt two arms wrap around you and start swaying you back and forth with the person holding you
honestly the moment was so soft that there were no words needed to be spoken because you knew who this was obviously and you found his embrace so comforting
“it’s early, you usually don’t go to bed this early... good thing i took a nap, huh?” and his voice was still that soft soothing sound to your ears
and you can smell something faint that smells like something sweet and you ask him if he ate some sweets and then went into a food coma
and he just laughs and hugs you tighter saying ‘no, i just wanted to see you that badly’
it’s times like these where you really wish that you could find your soulmate in the real world instead of when you’re far apart and the universe makes it harder to know anything farther than their personalities
you can tell that he feels somewhat the same because he just rests his head on your shoulder and sighs
‘oh did you wash your sheets? they smell really good’
and you laugh when he breathes in again but in a dorkier and funnier way to make you laugh and plus his nose tickles !
but you nod anyways while he’s tickling you with his nose ‘yeah, we just moved so everything is fresh right now’
and he hums and is about to ask you where but then he pauses because he knows that he’ll either wake up or it’ll come out like a blurbled mess anyways
and you know he’s kind of sad so you’ve turned around in his hug and are now hugging him tightly while he enjoys your embrace
he loves being able to hug you, this is a fact and you know it and so does the universe
‘i hope you get settled and enjoy your new home’ this is the perfect opportunity for a cheesy line so you use it
‘i already am, because you’re my home’
and he just laughs and buries his head back into your shoulder and you can barely hear it
but he softly says that he really loves you
and it warms up your heart so much
eventually the two of you continue talking and just spending time with each other
and you’re both on the hill again and it brings you back to adventures around your neighborhood as a kid and being determined to find this boy who you wanted to play with all the time
and the sneaking out as a teenager sometimes to scout out a new area and explore further
usually it was these times where your soulmate worried the most about you because you would come in really late in the dreams and he was scared you’d never show up
he would always rush over whenever you appeared and check you for any marks to see if anything happened even if it was kind of blurry
he just wanted to make sure you were okay :( this poor baby
eventually you stopped sneaking out and just hanging out with him in your dreams because yeah it’s not worth it if you did get hurt trying to find this mystery hill and get him a heart attack
little did you know that two or three times he skipped school to look for the hill too and pretended he was sick and everyone had to cover for him and nobody could get the story straight
eventually you got more comfortable and used to your home and your neighbors
one of your neighbors was a nice old lady who had like four little dogs and they were all very good dogs
sometimes they’d somehow get out of the house and over to yours and you’re not even sure how they get in but sometimes they do but it’s okay they’re really cute
one day, however, you find one of the dogs running around in the front yard
you went outside to go catch it and return it to the lady next door but when it saw you it started dashing off in a completely opposite direction
and you panicked because uH?? NO? home that way!!!!
so you had to chase the doggo and it just keeps going like wow it’s a small dog but woosh what is she feeding these dogs if they’re like little ninjas y’know
you expect this dog to turn around and start wagging it’s tail because it knows you’re running after it and it thinks you’re playing with it
but it’s not..... doing that?
it’s just running and running without looking back at you
somehow you make it to a busier street area and that’s when you get more nervous because there’s more people to block you and cars and you really want to save this dog now
but miraculously all the people see you in time and move to the side or the dog runs across crosswalks a couple seconds after the light turns red and someone had hit the button to cross
it’s all sunshine and flowers now but this dog ain’t stopping to appreciate them
as you keep running, you lose more and more energy but you don’t want to lose this dog but wow the distance gap is getting bigger and bigger
it’s not too concerning until you see that the dog is headed for a crosswalk and the sign just turned red and you’re not supposed to cross
but it just keeps going
so you’re shouting at it to stop and for it to wait and it gets closer to the edge and the cars look like they’re about to start moving and don’t see the dog
you’re so frightened that the dog will really run across when you see a pair of legs run in front of the dog’s path and it skids to a stop
when you look up you see a boy and you’re like.............. omg............ that’s my boy
and he picks up the rascal dog and starts walking towards you and as he comes closer and closer he realizes that..........
you look like a mess
but also that.............. wow................ you’re............... you’re his soulmate
you’re still catching your breath and holding your side because it’s so cramped but when he gets closer you just reach your arms out
and he thinks you’re going for a hug so he walks even closer but you just scoop the dog out of his arms and are like
‘thank......... you........... this dog........ idek’
and he just looks at you and just starts smiling because wow it’s really you and he doesn’t care if this is the first time seeing you in person and you’re not showing that much excitement at least he’s getting to see you
eventually you catch your breath and there’s a silence between you and your soulmate is still watching you, arms ready to case you fall over and you just might because your legs are so tired
‘we can go inside here,’ he says and points to this building
and it’s actually a cafe of some sort and you could really use a drink rn and a place to sit down
so you just nod because the reality of meeting your soulmate just hit you and gAH IT’S REALLY HIM!!!!!
when you step inside the ac is on and the people greet you and you just go take a random booth with him
after sitting for a minute or so the both of you make eye contact and that’s really it right there
where everything fits into place and it all seems super right
all of a sudden you’re laughing really hard because it doesn’t seem that real right now
first you were calm in your own home and thinking you’d return the neighbor’s dog like normal
next you were running for your life and also for a dog’s and it was a full blown panic and you probably ran a long distance while sprinting
and now....... now you’ve just met the literal man of your dreams
and he doesn’t even seem fazed by your lack of reaction to meeting him, he just looks like he’s having the time of his life
and that’s when he finally understands
he makes an ‘ahh’ sound and you’re confused and he just smiles at you and points behind you
and painted along the wall of the cafe is a mural of a hill........ your hill
there’s a little phrase that says ‘where dreams come true’ and it’s so cheesy and funny and you’re like...... so that’s what it meant
eventually you turn back around and find that he’s looking at you, just watching you and taking in all your features
you don’t shy away from his gaze at all and instead welcome it because it’s so endearing, so loving, so fond
at the same time you’re mapping out his own features and realizing that he truly is really handsome it’s no joke
he moves his hand across the table and opens it palm up so that he can hold yours for the first time in real life
you’re shuffling the dog so that you can properly hold it and slowly glide your fingertips across his palm before moving your hand to fit into his
and it’s like two puzzle pieces, the rights ones...
a perfect fit
‘jeno,’ he says and you’re testing his name out on your tongue and the whole time he’s just smiling and then he tests your name out on his and it’s so smooth coming out of his mouth
this is the guy you’ve been seeing in your dreams
this is the guy you dreamt of seeing in real life
this is your soulmate........ jeno
never before have you seen a small dog look so smug

Episode #4: “I am definitely sobbing 24/7” -Gavin
-okay so dan left eight to one a real... how you say... zzz. and then birch activates the earthquake and gives us... the best swap... ever...? i say us i mean ME so anyway the swap gives me... my alliance members of vi/collin/ruthie which YES. we already are half the tribe eat it UP. then i have cindi who im close to, who im also in a second game with rn. which BAM, and also... og tribe majority mmmmm delicious. THEN from the other tribe i get. BODHI who im also close to outside of this, and am also in another game with rn (where im about to vote to keep him in so woo we love building trust...?). then i have rachael who is a sweetheart and TIMMY. ONE OF MY OLDEST ORG FRIENDS HELLOOO. this swap is kind of... too... good? all the people i'd wanna vote out are on the other tribe so the MO rn is to just sweep challenges ideally? thats the agenda. because rn the ones i want gone are birch/keegan/zachary/gavin... all of whom are on the other tribe. so we better get to winning even tho it might be bad for austin/jay if we do (but maybe timmy would go first idek)
-okay so... we just won jeopardy? that challenge truly had me weighing up and considering literally fighting a child because that zach is half child prodigy, half robot he was literally bodying the challenges... BUT THEN WE WON ASFJDKSAL. we literally just went for broke on the final jeopardy and it came THROUGH. im so so happy because i want all of my swap tribe at merge, they are all people i want to stick around so even one tribal would be a disaster. i think timmy might unfortunately be screwed just because jay/austin are really connected. also the annie tribe is probably gonna lose... another og tribe member. but HONESTLY what can you do. this is good for my longterm survival anyway hopefully they turn inwards and get rid of one of OG Jack even though its probably unlikely KJFLSAD.
-well, to start out, i am sorry this is later than anticipated. however, what matters is that i am doing it now... right? ANYWAYS... onto the confessional. i think the main thing i want to talk about this round, is the brilliant move i orchestrated during that challenge that gave us the win... and the fact that i got NO CREDIT FOR IT. OKAY Y'ALL... I SEE YOU. but anyways, i think it is clear that i am basically a mastermind. however, what really matters is that we won... so GO TEAM (me)! following the challenge this round i was added into an alliance chat planned by keegan and zach with rachael and myself. so, when jess wasn't included, i obviously had to go talk to her and subtly expose that alliance... and funnily enough, keegan added jess to alliance with birch! FUNNY. so, we basically figured out that keegan is trying to play everyone and anyone he can--which will definitely be useful information going forward. overall this round, i think i really strengthened some key bonds with birch and rachael specifically. i was on call with rachael for 5 hours straight and talked about personal things with birch for about an hour. so, i honestly feel pretty good going forward. and on the bright-side, if things start to look like they're going south, i always have that idol in my back pocket. until next time... xoxo, gossip girl.
-well, to no ones surprise... we swapped. AND I WAS SEPARATED FROM MY RACHAEL. i’m not crying... (jk, i am definitely sobbing 24/7). but on the bright side, i at least have jess with me. unfortunately due to zachs poor math skills, we lost the challenge that should have been an easy win for us given our lead going into the final jeopardy... but gavin is not bitter. so, unfortunately, we have to go to tribal with a brand new tribe. on the bright side, it seems to be looking in OG jack’s favor numbers wise, so i don’t particularly feel like i am in danger. however, you never know what could happen at tribal council. so, if worse comes to worse, i will have my idol ready to play—but i am hoping it doesn’t come to that. it appears as though austin or jay will be leaving—which is perfectly fine with me (even if i want keegan to go sooner rather than later, it’s best not to make any unnecessary waves right now. so i will continue to let him become a bigger target and try to take charge and snake as he does... and we will go from there.

-I....am upset. You put me on a tribe with little cutie Gavin and then RIPPED HIM AWAY. I am beyond upset. I am outraged. SWAP US BACK COWARDS. Can't wait for the next earthquake to hit so we can be reunited. I miss him so much. He still sends me tiktoks though so thats cute. we are watching Hamilton together on Friday and I am so excited.
-It’s 1:02PM and I still miss Gavin.
-It’s 5:14 pm and I still miss Gavin. Hope he doesn’t go home, but I won immunity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So I forced a swap. yay! I also exiled myself, mainly to keep myself safe cause fuck getting voted out, Am I right? So I don't really have anything to report on. uhhhh, yeah. Go everyone!!
-When your tribe mates don't listen to your wager advice and you lose the challenge :))))))))))))))))))))))))
-So a swap happened so that's fun.... I can't even lie I have swap PTSD from my last Survivor. I was swapped into the minority, rocked myself out with an idol for a souvenir. THAT BEING SAID... This swap worked out for me! I think? At least for now? If I didn't have Gavin with me I'd be extremely worried but because I do believe he has an "in" with the bro's Keegan/Zach aka: a duo... I'll at least know if they are up to some shady shit. I also got Chips! SO PARTY. I'm really thankful we got a swap because I don't know if I would have survived a couple of votes on my previous tribe. I wasn't necessarily "in" with people. So a swap was welcomed but I was also scared shitless. This swap has really opened the door for me/Zach? I don't trust him the slightest BUT at least we have some sort of dialogue right now compared to the crickets we were exchanging on OG JACK. This swap also broke up the "alliance" of Zach, Rachael, Keegan...and Gavin. So now they'll need to find a replacement Rachael and I know I'm not as pretty as Rachael but maybe I'll fill the female quota in that alliance? Chips has opened up a LOT to me so far. We've exchanged idol searches but he feels on the bottom of that "alliance" and I don't blame him. I just don't know where we go from here after this vote. He flips? to Jay? Maybe a Jay/Chips/Keegan/Zach majority? He wants me to flip to a Chips/Jay/Timmy/Majority? I have no idea. We also get Birch next round! I do enjoy Birch so much but that's a number for Keegan and that makes me un-easy. Keegan is easily my biggest threat so far. Next round could potentially be a 6.vs. 2 majority and it can't be THAT simple. I'm going to focus on winning... I guess? I'm really enjoying Timmy so far even though he's given me a few red flags or I'm being lied to hardcore. Austin told me he had a vote reveal however, why would Timmy tell someone who he has said "treated him badly" about a power? So either Timmy is playing me or Austin is playing me. Either way they both can go?! Timmy gives me such weird vibes. I want to trust him but I also think he's going to be a super cut-throat player down the line and that SCARES ME.
Ok.....with the swap that happened and us losing immunity I really feel my game is over. Which really sucks bc i wanna work with ppl like keegan jess jay chips and zach but I dont feel most of those ppl wanna work with me. I'm not gonna give up tho . I'm gonna try talking and making deals and doing what I can to save myself. It's not over til tribal and I have plenty of time. Pleaseeeee atomic gods let me make it through this one vote
Me never remember what my last confessional was about? The title of my autobiography. So, we swapped which is super unfortunate but the tribe I got swapped into has a majority OG Jack members. JESS, ZACH, GAVIN, CHIPS and myself against JAY, TIMMY Z and AUSTIN. And then we lose the challenge because math is apparently impossible? Like ZACH either threw the challenge on purpose or he’s just the worst person at math. Either way, we’re going to tribal tonight. The current plan is to stay tribe strong and vote out an OG Annie which is fine by me. JAY is saying he wants to work with me because we’re both previous winners which is a good point. But I’ve got some solid alliances already and I don’t want to mess those up this early into the game. As far as I can tell right now, the plan is to split votes between JAY and AUSTIN with AUSTIN being the primary target since he’s pretty bad at challenges and isn’t likely to work with us down the line. TIMMY apparently spilled the beans about a six person alliance that didn’t include himself or CINDI, so we’re trying to keep him safe and pull him in as a number for the future. Who knows what will happen though. There’s idols to worry about which is why we’re trying to split the vote.
This tribe swap makes me so happy because I vibe with these people so much better and it gives me a new chance in this game to fix my activity level. On top of that, we are safe!!! Another round of not having to go to tribal is a good round for me. Who knows why the Annie tribe only wagered $3,000 because that made absolutely no sense but I’m not complaining. Overall, A+ round!
So this round, i find myself swapped into a tribe of people that are so much better then my old tribe. I was on the outs of that 6 person alliance and I am sure I would have been the next to go for sure. I get a really good vibe off of zach and jess, plus gavin and keegan are cool too. Not to sure about Chips but I have to put my trust in these people for the mean time. As for the challenge, we lost and i knew I was going to vote with the old Jack tribe. We plan on splitting the votes 3 vs 3 with austin and jay voting whoever. Of course in true them style, the moment they found out it was them, they threw me under the bus immediately. Hopefully everything goes as planned tonight and Austin goes home, if not it is going to be me. I have had good convos with people tho and hope that can get me through this tribe.
Well this swap completely sucks. In the complete minority, someone sold out the alliance to Timmy so I doubt he trusts me anymore. I just tried to be honest with him so he'd see me in a better light and I hope it worked. Beyond that, we lost the challenge and I think my head is on the chopping block. Earlier today Chips came and told me that he's pretty sure the votes are coming down on me and they're gonna tell me Austin to fake me out. And you know, that's probably true because Zach, Keegan, and Gavin have all told me it's Austin. What troubles me is that Chips doesn't seem to have a plan otherwise even though it seems like he wants to do something else. So once Zach told me it's Austin, I had more of a chat with him. He really seems to not want me to go anywhere, which is hard not to believe. Either he's telling me the truth or he's a fantastic liar. Same with Keegan, even though I think it's in both of our best interests to work together going forward. At this point it's clear that it's gonna split between Austin and myself so i worry if I don't vote Austin then I'm just automatically out. Shits really hard in the game right now and all I want is to survive another day.

I am finally not at the bottom. My original tribe has minority and I have prior existing relationships with 2/3 of the og Jack tribe. Plus I have bodhi, whom I absolutely love, on my tribe. I am happy.

okay... i just woke from just about the trippiest dream ever
it started out as me being a boy (15sh, maybe?) and thw whole world is just a... weird place, maybe post-apocalyptic, i don’t know food is sparse, everyone is just weird, idek
so, i meed this girl and am instantly taken, but, for some reason, we have to run away from someone or something. we end up entering through a barrier (it sometimes was just a gate, sometimes a door, sometimes just walking from one area to the next) into an ice desert that also ends up being an other-dimensional space, where time has no meaning and everytime we leave and enter, the space changes a little (though it always stays an icy desert, sometimes there’s tall formations (like these overhead line towers for power lines), sometimes there’s ruins of buildings, sometimes, there’s a fucking supermarket parking space in the middle of the day)
at some point, in that space there, we meet a man that’s trying to help, but later on starts hunting us, before having another change of mind and starts helping again while we try to figure out what is going on we meet: my mother, my little brother, my father, a gothic-lolita looking little girl (about 4ish years old?) an aging baby (who could speak) an old man that was looking for his wife and he kept saying “the worst thing is knowing” and several others me and my brother both have a hidden, third eye on our foreheads, though his, he’s been hiding his whole life for some reason (he wasn’t supposed to have it, because i was from another father? or i was cursed or something.) basically, it’s becoming a really strange back-and-forth between “reality” and this alternate space, while we try to flee from the unknown thread and make our way forward
there was a really intense shift of scenes, we met so many odd people, but it then slowly cumulated into a sort-of climax basically, we were tracking back through “time”, slowly and gradually understanding that we’ve known the people we’ve met all our lives, because we start understanding that we ARE those people.
i am the old man that laments about the fact that “knowing is the worst”, i am my own little brother, i am the man that tries to help us, and i am the man that is hunting us, and as we keep running away, meeting a man that’s pretty much the dr. octavius of sandwich-making, i decide it’s safest for the girl with me to go our separate ways and try to find each other again at a later place i put her into a (...uh,.. conveniently parked-in-the-street and large engough) baby carriage, pull the top thing over, to protect her from the heavy rain and push her down the street (i think i switched views somewhere, but i can’t even tell anymore) while she’s scooting down the streets, i become her and the person guiding the carriage. she starts giving directions in a sort-of prophetic way so we won’t crash into anything or anyone. there’s a moment where we drive by a giant fucking cruise ship in the wet, rainy streets and it’s about the most normal thing i’ve seen in this entire mess of a dream
we start driving up a spiraling street, meeting people from the beginning of the dream, and i remember seeing these scenes from the other side (basically i’m meeting myself, but from the opposite site), i start understanding that the gothic child was the girl, and going up further, she looses her energy more and more, turning smaller, older, until she’s the aging, prophetic baby, going up, going up even further, a scene from the very beginning repeats, again, i see it from another point of view, as an old lady leans over the carriage, caressing over the girl’s cheek, then whispering “you’re the son” we reach the very top, suddenly being in the hall of a small home, where my character’s mother stands with my little brother, much younger/earlier in time, who complains he’s being cold. without hesitating, the mother opens the window, letting the icy wind inside (we’re still in ice-alternative-space) he starts shaking really bad and ends up shrivelling up and dying she does something to the body and then picks up me/the girl, who’s being baby-sized now, and does something to shift her into looking like my little brother did BANG!
realization time! i am my own little brother, i am the boy, i am the girl, i am the old man yelling that knowing is the worst, i am my own husband, i am my own wife, i am my own child, i am the old lady, i am every-fucking-one in this fucked-up interdimension-travelling space, and i am in love with myself, to the point where i end up having myself with myself.
the dream switches back to the beginning setup, with me and the girl at about teenage aged. we realize we’ve looped through time and that we’re going to become the people we’ve met, whether we want or not over in the distance, we can see icy-wonky-timespace changing, revealing new, pencil-sketch-looking areas we know we’ll have to go and experience, and i say that i can understand the old man now.
she says she’ll end up killing me (i can’t fully remember the reason, but there was one) and i sigh and nod. i know she will kill me and it’s going to be really bad, i hate knowing it. i hate knowing we’re not who we think we are, i hate knowing there’s nothing we can do to end the circle of it all
and wham, i wake up. another night, spend dreaming a whole fucking MOVIE (somwhere in between it WAS a movie, with a french title about something along the lines of clouds and blue sheep, i don’t even know)
.....i might want to mention that this is not even the whole of it. i skipped over most of the details, like how only foods with high salt-content are still edible, and all the beautiful cakes and fruit in the forsaken shops are pretty, but inedible, because the apocalypse (????) messed up sugars or a bit with supply hunting where i find blue flyers that tell us about dangers to come or the bit about all the dogs, either hunting us, being adorbs or being a possible food source or the part with the chinese lady wanting to very badly have the aging baby for herself (for... some reason i forgot) or the high-speed ride down some streets to a giant plaza, once in the sunlight, once in the rain at night the sandwich guy chasing us realizing i’m in love with the girl a long thing about my snails and how i have to deal with the eggs and newly-hatched babysnails that basically had nothing to do with anything
#dreams#this is the SHORT version#and i keep wondering why i feel exhausted#even after several hours of sleep

secret-mafia-boss(.)tumblr(.)com/post/162910056315/c-bassmeow-sodomymcscurvylegs Do you agree with this?
...I haven’t even seen the post and OP’s name is giving me the creeps already so idek but okay let’s see the post
................. uhm. I just. I’m perplexed. like. I dunno if it’s how it works in the us and tbh I am really tired of this millennials vs baby boomers deal because honestly most elderly people around here are polite unless you get the kind that think that they can be assholes because being elderly means you can be excused for everything, but I’ve never seen most people my parents’s age being assholes??? and honestly if I get bad service maybe I don’t complain because I don’t like making a scene even if I do it well enough in public administration situations when they make me go insane to get an ID but like if I got bad service somewhere I will tell people to not go there??? what the fuck?? also I mean a lot of people my age I know have the worst manners and honestly again this fucking thing where on tumblr MILLENNIALS ARE ANGELS AND BABY BOOMERS ARE THE WORST is starting to tire me. like. I do have concerns re the previous generation(s) because they managed to do thinks so that ours got fucked in the historical moment when we graduated, but people my age and younger than I am are and can also be complete assholes, a lot of my peers are entitled af and vote for populists which I mean I’d rather take my mom’s generation which at least doesn’t vote for those idiots, and like... just, what the fuck. I don’t think I’m inherently better than elder people because mILLENNIAL and I don’t think they’re inherently better than us but like, I just find this discussion useless because believe me an entitled millennial with money will function on negative reinforcement a lot more than a baby boomer who’s okay financially but not rich.
Growing up in the computer age, we’ve become masterful at filtering junk information, and that includes advertising
if this person had seen how many of my peers fall for the ‘FACEBOOK WILL BECOME PAID IF YOU DON’T SHARE THIS POST’ bullshit that goes around every other month they’d change that music soooo fast. same for everyone who votes for the populists who thing IF WE DO STUFF THROUGH THE INTERNET IT’S MORE DEMOCRATIC like pls bite me.
Unlike Boomers who get off on laughing at someone working at McDonald’s, we’ve all had to work shitty, underpaying jobs and we don’t like when we go to an establishment and see workers mistreated and poorly paid, because WE’VE BEEN THERE, and we don’t want to contribute to that gross abuse of the working class.
is2g I have never in my life seen anyone talking badly about mcdonald’s employees elderly or not. like. literally no one. the worst you’ll hear about it is ‘I didn’t get two degrees in uni to work at mcdonald’s’, which is not inherently classist as a critic of the fact that it’s ridiculous that if I have two degrees my only option is a job that I could have done just out of high school. period. and it’s mostly millennials saying that ie people who actually have reasons to. but like. who has EVER heard that. and don’t worry there’s plenty of millennials who’ll treat workers shitty. but okay.
like idk I feel like that post is only valid for the US if it is but I honestly would like for this self-millennial glorification to be over because we got fucked over but we also let them fuck us over and like it’s not that fucking easy
