Here's a look at Day 5 of Whumptober. Derek hosts a Shepherd family reunion at his house. Jackson is not having a fun time. A bit of a warning for sensory overload.

---

Jackson bites down on his lip. The arguing twists his stomach. Usually, banter doesn’t bother him, but between the other loud noises, it grates on him.

“Jackson’s in plastics, just like Mark,” Carolyn says as if her daughters aren’t arguing.

“I know, Ma, I work at the hospital.”

Carolyn wrinkles her nose. “I was talking to your sister. She doesn’t get to spend as much time with your nephew as you.”

“Because I’m the favorite aunt.”

Amelia flashes Jackson a smirk. He tries to match it, but his lips tremble. Amelia tilts her head, observing him for a moment. Jackson’s fingers twitch. He’s got a fidget in his pocket, but he isn’t about to take it out in front of Carolyn and Nancy.

“Jack, do you want to get a soda?” Amelia asks.

“Littles can’t have caffeine,” Nancy cuts in. She looks at Jackson. “We can get you a water? Or I think Lizzie watered down some juice for the little ones…”

“Mark said he can have a little soda,” Amelia interrupts with an eye roll. She turns back to her nephew. “I know for a fact Derek got rootbeer.”

“I…I’m good,” Jackson catches his stutter under Carolyn and Nancy’s careful gaze.

Liz approaches them, holding a thick paper plate. It’s loaded up with just about one of everything from the buffet-style meal set out. Jackson catches a closer whiff of the grilled fish Derek made. Knowing Alex and Jackson's food aversions, his uncle was careful to make it separately. Now, Jackson can’t avoid it.

“Are you two ganging up on Amy again?” Liz asks, poking her fork into the plate.

“I’m making sure she doesn’t sugar up our nephew,” Nancy says. “She was about to give him caffeine.”

Amelia throws her arms in the air. “Jesus Christ, Nance, soda. It was a soda. I understand your children live a sad, beige diet. Our nephew does not.”

does anyone else notice how for queer headcanon ships, the vast majority of the fandoms hc one as gay and one as bi? i’m not sure i’ve ever seen a non-canon queer ship where both characters were bi4bi or gay4gay. here are just a few of the examples i could think of.

Byler (Stranger Things): Will (canonically gay) - Mike (bi)

Ronance (Stranger Things): Robin (canonically lesbian) - Nancy (bi)

Elmax (Stranger Things): Eleven (lesbian) - Max (bi)

Steddie (Stranger Things): Steve (bi) - Eddie (gay)

Buddie (9-1-1): Buck (canonically bi) - Eddie (gay)

Destiel (Supernatural): Dean (bi) - Castiel (canonically gay)

Amezona (Grey’s Anatomy): Amelia (canonically bi) - Arizona (canonically lesbian)

and these are just the ones of the top of my head, there’s probably a lot more out there. i know there are some exceptions but I just noticed a pattern. the vast majority of these fandoms never headcanon both characters in the ship the same sexuality.

i just thought it was funny.

Paul, Brandi & Catherine Carlile (aka stuff I just learned)

I was reading an article about Brandi Carlile and saw this bit about how she met her wife, Catherine.

“Shepherd, who is originally from the U.K. and coordinated McCartney's charity work for 10 years, first met Carlile over the phone in 2009 when she reached out to donate some Beatles memorabilia to the singer's Fight the Fear campaign. The pair continued to speak on the phone regularly.” (x)

Found that she was also Paul’s personal assistant for 5 years before coordinating his charity work.

Nice to know those pics of Brandi and Catherine and Paul and Nancy leaving the Chris Rock show together last month weren’t just random.

She must know him quite well if she was his PA for 5 years!

More Paul/Brandi/Catherine links (for posterity)

Here’s Brandi and the twins with Paul at his Seattle show in 2016 (from her Instagram)

Also, here’s Brandi singing I’ve Just Seen A Face in 2011 and 2021 😌

Whumptober Day 5: Overstimulation

The Shepherd Family Reunion: Jackson thought he could handle a Shepherd family reunion, but he didn't last very long due to his sensory overload and their overbearing nature.

i talk with the untrodden mountains (and i talk to them about you)

-

“How huge are we talking?”

“Like unnaturally huge, Buckley. It broke the fence…”

“Sorry”.

“…found it in the middle of the sheep. What do you mean sorry?”

“’t was a sympathetic sorry. What do you mean in the middle of the sheep?”

“Exactly what I said. Came out and found it had crawled in the middle of the flock like some lost kitten. Jesus, you cannot understand how fucking big that animal was”.

Robin’s gaze catches her own.

The eyes are different. They are human for one, but the striking resemblance to the glimmering blue from last night, is enough to have Nancy missing the girl’s answer.

She pauses.

still don’t know if i’m gonna make genevieve a da pc or just a general dnd pc yet but she’s either a shapeshifter mage or a druid

[elspethdixon]

Every pet I’ve ever had was named after a fictional character, with the exception of the dog my parents had when I was a baby, who was named after a Civil War general (so, technically a celebrity I guess, or at least he was back in the 1800s).

My mother tried to disguise the fact that later dogs were named after cartoon characters by spelling their names all fancy, but no one was fooled. “Wyleigh” looked just like Wile E. Coyote and she was named after him, q.e.d.

My cats all have fandom-related names, and my sister’s german shepherd is named Carlos Danger.

Put in the tags please if you answered yes lets have fun with this

For example my childhood dog was named Cher after the singer and yes she had a brother named Sunny

AU idea: after Halloween, Steve’s senior year, as Billy is taking over the title of King, the masses realize that they much preferred Steve as King. In fact, now that everyone is thinking about it, they can’t remember any incidents outside of breaking Jonathan’s camera (which he assures people when asked may have been slightly deserved) or the marquee sign (which Nancy is adamant was mostly a misunderstanding and he cleaned it up on his own anyway). In fact, they seem to remember him steering his court away from confrontation most of the time, just very subtly. They have also heard that the whole reason Steve even took a beating from Billy is because he was protecting a bunch of children.

Eddie Munson makes a decision to return Steve to power. He calls Hellfire to order and explains his plan. His sheep are all for dethroning Billy. They are hesitant about Steve but tentatively agree to follow their shepherd in his plans. As Eddie brings the meeting to a close he says “The crownless again shall be king”

But you know, fluff it up and have Hellfire adopting Steve. Bonus points for getting the Stobin platonic soulmates involved as well as oblivious Steve who thinks he’s just making new friends. I’d kill for a story where Steve is adopted by hellfire nicely instead of them all being jerks about the whole process.
