big fan of steve calling eddie out for his high school bullshit. all that ranting and raving about forced conformity just to hate all jocks? like, steve, who tries his actual hardest to be better than he was in high school, is going to throw hands if eddie says one more thing that reinforces the dumb jock stereotype in the kids' minds.
like i just imagine eddie stopping someone from joining hellfire because they were on the basketball team or tripping someone in the hallways because they were wearing their letterman.
i need steve to take eddie by the shoulders and tell him that yes, eddie was bullied in high school, but he was also a bully and i think that eddie's prejudice is a topic we need to look more into. like, i have no doubt that eddie would make sure steve knows that he's not dumb, but i need wayne to be watching sports on tv which causes eddie to be like, "I can't believe you watch that shit. just a bunch of dumb jocks tossing balls into laundry baskets." and instead of just leaving, i need to see steve go, hey man, not fucking cool? like let people have their interests.
every time steve calls eddie out in a fic i go nuts for it. do i think that steve would have more emotional responses to some things? absolutely. do i also think that king steve, bitchy steve, would put eddie in his place? yes, yes i do. that is a hill i would die on.
#i have more to say but i will stick it in a separate post#haven't posted fandom on main in a while and i'm still trying to convince myself that it's not cringey and it's actually ok to like things#was talking to my boyfriend about fandom posting and he told me to go for it#so here we are !!#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#if i start getting more confident in fandom posting#y'all are getting ALL my hot takes

RUI KAMISHIRO — attractive things about him! pt.2 implied afab! reader in iv.
i. you've won in life. this guy is completely yours. the most attractive thing about rui besides all the other stuff, is that he's completely enamored by you. he doesn't think you're his— no, but rather, he's absolutely all yours. he'll follow you around like a little (???) lovesick puppy, popping up on reflections of windows just to get a quick glance of you even though he's supposed to be on his way to the bathroom. totally wasn't an excuse to see you in class.. he's thankful all of a sudden for those damn windows.
ii. hickey giver 101. i will DIE on this hill, i swear. no, not those hickies where you'd have to bite. and yes— he'll never forgive himself if he ever hurt you. even by accident, so that's out of the question. preferably below your collarbone, the neck is too obvious, and plus.. what if a teacher sees in the process? can't have that. this guy sucks and licks on your thin skin like it's gonna leave a permanent mark. at this point; you'd be even more surprised if it didn't.
iii. ALWAYS notices you. he's such a green flag for this, honestly. acknowledges every little thing you do, memorizes everything you mentioned you liked even if it's of the slightest of hints. best believe he'll pick up on it. quickly, too. whenever you pass by his classroom and mouth a little "hi baby!" with a wave and he'll mouth back a "hi my love!" with a happy little smile on his face. and his classmates are like NO WAY THIS MF has a significant other like how.
iv. actually has the inability to say 'no' to you. you could literally ask this guy to make you a period tracker as a JOKE and he'd go "ohhhh of course my lovee!". it's a bit pathetic but it's cute you know </3. rui just loves the feeling of you leaning on him, likes the feeling of you relying on him. even if you just ask him for help with studying, he would never pass up an opportunity to spend time with you.
v. his hands. no question. they're so calloused from his old and recent projects, but the way they hold you says the opposite. they're thin and long and have tons of bruises and probably scars too. but the waaaaayyyy he cups your face with his hands so gently, you can grasp the feeling of his scars gliding over your cheek but that just makes it a whole lot better when he kisses you just as gently as he holds you close. also a waist holder like akito but you know that's for another time
@myunghology — gang he is so 4ever by clairo coded.

hii! saw the angst alphabet you got, would u be up to make one for Rio? feeling kind of ansgtyy
Rio Vidal Angst Headcanon Alphabet

A = Anger (What are they like when they’re angry?)
We’ve seen a bit of this on the show. Rio approaches anger the same way she approaches other emotions - intensely. Yelling, insults specifically crafted to hurt you in the worst ways, violence, it’s all on the table.
B = Break Up (If they had to, how would they break up with you?)
She’s unlikely to break up with you. She only would if you betrayed her and it would be via a very loud/violent fight. More likely you would break up with her, which you’d try to do gently but no matter how kind you were about it, she wouldn’t take it well.
C = Cry (How often do they cry? Do they cry over little things?)
Definitely not over little things. Rio tends to turn to anger far more often than sadness. She can count on one hand the amount of times she’s cried.
D = Debt (How do they make it up to you when they’ve done something wrong?)
Grand gestures, large declarations of love.
E = Entrapment (How would they react to you being kidnapped?)
She’d move heaven and earth (maybe literally) to track you down and torture then kill the people who kidnapped you.
F = Fear (How badly do they fear losing you? Do they fear for you somehow losing them?)
Rio fears that her intensity and the fact that she’s Death will push you away. Every time she has to help one of your loved ones cross over she is terrified it will be the one that makes you leave. No matter how much you reassure her and no matter how many times you’ve stayed previously, this is a trauma from Agatha that she’ll never fully recover from. On the other hand shes not afraid you’ll lose her, she’s a cosmic entity, she’ll be with you forever.
G = Grief (If you were to die, how would they react?)
Your death wouldn’t bother her. She can be with you in the afterlife the exact same way she can on Earth. She would only be upset if you refused to let her help you cross over and chose to be a ghost instead.
H = Heartbreak (What would it take to break their heart?)
Rejecting her. Particularly for her job. Rio has a strong sense of justice and cannot cope with the idea that you might reject her for literally just doing her job.
I = Insensitive (How do they act when they know they’ve said something that upset you?)
Rio gets very angry so she definitely needs time to cool off. She is willing to apologise once she’s calmer but it’s usually more for how she behaved during the conflict than for what the actual conflict was about - basically she’s very stubborn and when she believes she’s right she will absolutely die on that hill.
J = Jerk (When can they tell you’re mad at them? Do either of you resort to name calling?)
She can tell you’re mad at her because you tell her so. You know her previous relationship was toxic so you make a real effort to communicate clearly and healthily. As such you don’t really resort to name calling if you can help it. But Rio is definitely willing to insult you if she gets angry enough.
K = Knife (How do they feel about hurting others? physically or emotionally?)
She’s willing to harm people physically to protect herself or others, she wouldn’t do it for fun. She doesn’t like hurting people emotionally and doesn’t set out to do it unless she’s very angry (and in those cases her anger often stems from hurt or insecurity).
L = Liar (Are they a good liar? How often do they lie to you?)
She’s a pretty good liar. But she doesn’t really lie to you. She’s a very honest, straight forward person.
M = Maudlin (How do you cheer them up when they’re feeling sad?)
Cuddles, reassurance, and encouragement. Also letting her talk about whatever is making her sad.
N = Never (What would they do if they knew they could never be with you?)
I feel like she’d raise hell and move mountains to try to change that reality. If it really was impossible it would take her a long time to come to terms with it. She’d basically work her way through the stages of grief to cope with not being with you.
O = Oath (What happens when you break a promise? How do they take it?)
She would be hurt but would express that through anger at first. It would be driven by her feeling like she’s not enough and that it’s somehow her fault it happened.
P = Pressure (How do they handle stress? How do you help them relax?)
Her job is quite stressful so she’s pretty good a coping with it after so long. But when she needs to relax cuddles, sex, or (ideally) both will do the job.
Q = Quiet (Do they ever give you the silent treatment? How do they react when you give it to them?)
The silent treatment isn’t her style. She’d rather scream and shout and fight than make up and move on. If you were to give her the silent treatment she would get angrier and more dramatic until you had to respond to her.
R = Rejection (How would they take it if you were to reject them?)
This would likely occur at the beginning of your relationship so she’d find it easier to handle. It would hurt her though. She’d be likely to assume that it is because she is Death, she’s used to being rejected over that.
S = Self Doubt (What are they insecure about?)
Mainly being Death - she knows mortals (witches included) often just don’t understand and hate her for it. She’s used to their misdirected anger and (to a lesser extent) fear, but it still hurts her. She also often feels like she’s not good enough but also that she can be too much, she feels like no matter what she does it gets a negative response from people.
T = Triangle (What would they do if they were caught in a love triangle with you? Would they fight for you or give you up?)
Oh she would absolutely fight for you. Both by trying to show you that she’s the right person for you and by physically fighting the other person you’re interested in 😂
U = Unloved (What would you do to make sure they felt loved?)
Lots of reassurance, compliments, cuddles, kisses, touches just for the sake of touching her.
V = Vault (Do they keep their emotions sealed tight, or do they let them out openly?)
Depends on the emotion. She’s willing to make her anger known. But she’s far more hesitant to share her sadness, insecurity, grief, and pain.
W = Wound (How do they react when you’ve been injured?)
Her first instinct is to look after you and make sure you’re okay. After that she will be hell bent on finding the person who hurt you and hurting them in return.
X = X Lovers (What happens when they’re confronted with an ex of yours?)
She’s jealous and possessive. Hanging on to you, making it clear you’re with her now (including public displays of affection). She will be openly hostile towards your ex too.
Y = Yell (How often do fights occur? How bad do they get?)
Not often - you understand her and she’s opened up to you about what she’s been through, so you make an effort not to hurt her. However, when fights do happen they can get pretty bad.
Z = Zestless (What happens if you lose that initial spark with them?)
You both decide that you need to spice things up. Rio is full of ideas for this and is also always willing to try pretty much anything you come up with. You always end up with both your relationship and your attraction being stronger the before once you get out of a period like this.

Honestly, thinking about glasses the same way as I do any of my other accessibility devices really drives home how fucking weird people are about them.
Like, I'm trying to imagine going to a restaurant where my server takes my glasses off my face and says they're going to keep them for me "in a safe place" because that's just easier for everyone. But it's okay, because they'll be happy to read the menu for me if I can't read it myself!
That's kind of how I feel every time someone tries to take my cane/wheelchair from me "to get it out of the way" but then assures me they'll bring it back to me if I flag them down later.
Like I'm going to be fucked in a fire either way if someone has taken either my cane or my glasses so maybe don't do that! It's so invasive and unsafe. I don't want to have to wave down my server and ask permission to go pee! I don't want to have to rely on strangers when I do just fine with my accessibility devices!
And if you wouldn't reach onto someone's face and grab their glasses, don't touch their cane or wheelchair, either!
#cw:#disability#ableism#I've had people literally try to take my cane out of my hand before and it's like... no!#and people have treated me like a bitch for being unwilling to give up my cane in a restaurant#if you've arranged your cafe so there's no safe place for me to keep my cane with me that kind of feels like it's on you not me#it's a hill that I will absolutely die on#and not just because I've had wheelchairs and canes damaged that way#like some of my wheelchairs have been just as breakable as my glasses and people do NOT treat them with care

Assisting Acquaintance Acquired.

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen ning#wei wuxian#Ignore how Wen Ning's hair looks here because I messed it up. Let's pretend he just sported a different hair style for a brief moment.#I am not exactly great at consistency but I am trying very hard to work on that (immediately messes up again).#Absolutely *love* how Wen Ning clearly remembers and admires WWX...who does *not* recognize him.#This is the best day for Wen Ning and it means *nothing* to WWX. A painful one-sided crush made worse.#It is bittersweet to realize that we care about someone more than they care about us. Sometime we pour love into a relationship-#-with someone who just can't reciprocate. It isn't always a conscious things either. Some people just aren't aware we care.#And painfully - so painfully - You can't make them aware. No act of kindness or gift or self sacrifice will make someone care about you.#You can martyr yourself for someone and they will continue on unchanged.#I think a lot about the parallels between WN and LWJ. Not foils - just reflections. A theme repeated.#People who give so much of themselves to someone who doesn't have the capacity to give any part of themself away.#I will die on the hill of 'Wen Ning would be the love triangle romance if that trope wasn't being avoided'.#And to be honest - thank the stars above that is the case. I do not know any good love triangles in media.#We are skipping some of the sad Jiang Cheng content because I really want to finish season 2 before May.#Sorry JC emo moment lovers...I'll deliver another time.

The Doctor: He [Isaac Newton] was, wasn't he? He was so hot. Oh, is that who I am now?
So what personality trait of his new regeneration is the Doctor mildly surprised by here? He doesn't sound shocked, but it seems to be enough of a difference to mention out loud. A lot of people seem to be interpreting the that as referring to being into guys. To be fair, I think that's how Donna understands it in her next line.
My understanding of the line is slightly different. Feeling attraction to men (along with other genders) is nothing new to the Doctor. Nine and Captain Jack Harkness kissed full on the lips onscreen! Look at any interactions between Ten and the Master. Consider that changing gender presentation is something that any Time Lord might do at any regeneration, so treating gender as a limiting factor in attraction wouldn't make sense for the Doctor.
No, what has changed is that Fourteen is the sort of person who will directly admit when he finds someone hot while gossiping with his BFF. Not brilliant, or fascinating, or even beautiful, but hot. That's what's new.
#doctor who spoilers#dw spoilers#wild blue yonder#doctor who#of course from a doylist perspective that line does point out to the audience#that the doctor is going to be SUPER QUEER henceforth#absolutely no more deniability#but from a watsonian perspective on what the Doctor means#i think they're just not used to being able to admit to these sort of feelings so easily and casually#i have found a new hill and i will die on it#tardis-stowaway's writing & stuff#fourteenth doctor

more of this, which i'm calling exes with detriments until i find the right heartbreak song to nab a lyric from (what shh i know myself)
Buck tries, is the thing. He really, really tries. Well, first he gets drunk on Eddie's couch and spends the night staring at the ceiling.
Then he tries. Because he can't get Tommy's face out of his head, the quiet devastation in his eyes as he left the loft, left Buck behind. So he calls. Tommy doesn't answer, but then Buck didn't really expect him to. He's kind of proud of the message he leaves - he doesn't beg, but he lays it out nice and clear: we had a good thing going, we care about each other, you said something dumb and hurtful but this isn't the way you end a six month relationship. Talk to me, please.
He doesn't hear anything back, and his next message a week later is a little less composed: seriously, Tommy? Don't you think you owe me a single conversation where you haven't just fucking blindsided me? Okay, okay, maybe moving in together was too fast, and I-I-I spooked you, or whatever, but Tommy, please. We need to talk about this.
Still nothing.
He enlists a reluctant Eddie, who he knows is doing his best to be Switzerland, but who he also knows is loyal to him first and foremost. Eddie reports back with a shrug.
"He won't talk about it with me."
"God, what the - okay. Okay, so how does he seem?"
"I don't know, Buck. He seems like Tommy. A little quiet, a little tired."
Buck's frozen for a moment because what the fuck? He's coming apart at the seams and Tommy is a little quiet?
"Okay," he says. "Okay. Thanks for trying."
So Buck blows the lid off things, and goes to Tommy's house. There's no truck in the driveway, no answer when he knocks. He knows Tommy's not on shift though, so he sits in the Jeep outside the house for an hour and thirty seven minutes. That's how long it takes for him to hear the growl of Tommy's truck. He breathes out slowly. Okay. He's doing this. He's going to make Tommy hear him out, he's not going to let their last memories of each other be - be that fucking mess.
Except Tommy - Buck can hardly believe it - Tommy sees the Jeep. He sees Buck. They make fucking eye contact. And then Tommy just…keeps driving. Right past Buck, right past his own house, turns left at the end of his own street and disappears.
For a second there's nothing but roaring static in Buck's ears. And then, you fucking asshole, he thinks. You cowardly fucking asshole.
Buck drives home and he's so mad. He's so fucking mad. He grabs everything Tommy had left here over the months, every gift Tommy had given him, every photo of the two of them, the faded Dodgers shirt he's been wearing to sleep in because it still just about smells like Tommy, the fucking Lakers tickets. He shoves in the book on the history of the helicopter that he'd read before the tour of Harbor so he'd have something to talk about with the guy he was so inexplicably obsessed with without knowing why, the receipt from the first time Tommy actually let him buy the beers, the ticket stubs from the shows they went to at the Bowl, all the little pieces of them that Buck didn't think twice about hanging onto because he thought they meant something, he thought they were the start of something.
He excises Tommy from every inch of the loft and doesn't give himself time to think about how he'll regret this when he calms down, just throws himself into the Jeep, the box onto the passenger seat, and drives back towards Tommy's. He's going to leave the box on the doorstep and hope it gets stolen or trashed by raccoons or there's a flash flood and Tommy comes home to a shredded cardboard box and some waterlogged memories.
#bucktommy#my writing#forgive the artistic license with ticket stubs#i will die on the hill that a major downside of everything being online is that it makes heartache much harder to physically manifest#dw there will absolutely be nasty break up sex#and tommy will absolutely get to say his piece about being shoved up onto a pedestal so high the only way to go is down#but this is buck pov and our boy is BIG MAD#and also not the most reliable narrator bless him#exes with detriments

someone on reddit said DC comics have separate authors for each run so like superman's authors are probably not allowed to write things that affect batman's story and that's why they couldn't make conner and tim kiss even though tim is a canon male kisser and vice versa for damian and jon. suddenly everything on the planet earth makes sense
#i imagine superman writers being like. 'PLEASE THE FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS LET THEM HAVE THIS'#and batfam writers were just like '..yeah no.'#they kinda ruined damian and jon with the whole aging up shenanigans tbh#not just as a ship either i mean they killed that duo#but there was absolutely no reason for tim and kon to not be endgame i will die on that hill#timkon#tim drake#conner kent#damijon#jondami#damian wayne#jon kent#DC comics#young justice#super sons#dc

You ever have a thought and know you’re reading way too deeply into it but it hurts regardless
Anyways. Something something Rat building the log cabin of exile in a cold snowy forest bc he’s closed off and doesn’t trust anyone and doesn’t care for anyone. Lux & Rat talking about running away and moving somewhere else after they do what needs to be done. Rat & Lux planning to rebuild in a flower meadow, in the spring and the warmth and the thaw.
The fact rat will never move from the frozen taiga because that’s where Lux’s grave is.
#is this canon? no#is this intentional or even implied? no#will I cry about it anyways? absolutely#content smp#content smp spoilers#it’s also not canon or even implied that they were gonna move to that meadow#but I WILL die on this hill#just like Lux- /sniped#doctor4t#luxintrus

{one piece ficlet, zosan} chocolate
so uh. the ficlet i posted yesterday got WAY more engagement than i was expecting and i can't thank everyone enough for the likes, reblogs, and tag comments!! they definitely made my day, so have this little ditty that i threw together last night in honor of valentine's day! Rating: G Notes: pre-relationship
~~~~~
“Oi, mosshead,” Sanji said to Zoro as the swordsman entered the Merry’s galley, no doubt on the prowl for some post-nap booze. “Come here, I want you to try something.”
Zoro paused, eyes narrowing as he turned to look at Sanji. “Why me?”
“Because it’s for you, dipshit,” Sanji snapped. “And stop giving me that look. I’m not going to poison you.”
Zoro’s eyes remained narrowed as he approached the kitchen counter, clearly suspicious of Sanji’s invitation. Sanji bit back the urge to say anything, reminding himself that he needed Zoro to be complacent if this little scheme of his was going to work. So instead of spitting out some choice insults like he wanted to, Sanji slid a small plate with a few dark brown squares on it towards Zoro and said, “Here.”
As predicted, Zoro scowled deeply, first at the plate and then at Sanji. “Why are you trying to feed me this shit, cook?” he demanded. “I already told you that I don’t like chocolate.”
Actually, what Zoro had specifically said was that he didn’t like chocolate because it was ‘too sweet’, a statement which had thoroughly baffled Sanji because sure, some chocolate was sweet, but plenty of it wasn’t. Sanji himself vastly preferred dark chocolate over milk due to the complexity of flavor, but when he’d asked Zoro about dark chocolate, all Sanji had gotten was an eye roll and a scoffed, “Chocolate is chocolate, stupid cook. Doesn’t matter what color it is, it’s all too sweet.”
Which had led Sanji to the hypothesis he was currently testing.
“It’s not chocolate,” he lied smoothly. “It’s cacao.”
Zoro blinked. “Hah?” he said, head tilting in confusion.
“Cacao,” Sanji repeated. “It’s actually a bean that’s been fermented, roasted, and then processed into something called cacao liquor—“ (He had the suppress a snort at the way Zoro’s ears perked up at the word ‘liquor’) “—that’s then combined with a few other ingredients and left to solidify into bars for easy consumption.”
He gestured at the squares on the plate, which Zoro looked down at with a more thoughtful expression than before.
“Beans that get roasted?” he said. “Isn’t that how you said coffee is made?”
“Uh, yeah,” Sanji replied, surprised that Zoro had remembered that. “That’s why I thought you might like this, actually. You like black coffee, and cacao has a similar flavor profile—slightly bitter, but complex. And the notes change depending on how it’s processed.”
“Huh.” Zoro picked up one of the squares, squinting at it curiously. “So are you supposed to drink it?”
“No, although there is a powdered form that you can add to liquids,” Sanji said. “But this one you just eat as is. It’s good for you, too, in small quantities. Lots of antioxidants.”
Zoro’s nose wrinkled. “The hell are antioxidants?”
Sanji waved a hand dismissively. “Don’t worry your mossy little head about it. Just think of them as another kind of nutrient.”
Zoro glared at the word ‘little’, but didn’t set down the square. He turned it over in his fingers a few times as if trying to gauge it for traps before he shrugged, apparently satisfied that he wasn’t about to consume anything nefarious.
“Yeah alright. I’ll give it a shot.”
Sanji had to press his lips together to keep back a grin as Zoro took a bite from the square, growing ever more pleased with himself as the swordsman’s expression shifted from a curious frown to what on Zoro passed for wide-eyed wonder, which was a notable absence of his usual scowl and a slight raising of the eyebrows.
“So?” Sanji asked as Zoro swallowed, barely able to contain his glee.
Zoro shrugged.
“Not bad,” he said, and Sanji bit his tongue to keep himself from laughing in Zoro’s face. On the sliding scale of Zoro-ism’s, ‘not bad’ was equivalent to a normal person’s ’oh my god, that’s soooooo good!’.
“See?” he said, unable to quite keep the smugness from his tone. “Told you it wasn’t poison.”
Zoro rolled his eyes. “Whatever,” he muttered. Then his gaze dropped to the two squares still sitting on the plate. “So can I take these?”
Sanji had to turn towards the sink so that Zoro wouldn’t see the triumphant grin he couldn’t hold back. Because yeah, Sanji could have just explained to Zoro that dark chocolate referred not to the color but to the higher percentage of cocoa-to-sugar ratio instead of tricking him into eating ‘cacao’.
“Sure, marimo. They’re all yours.”
—but where was the fun in that?
