#sad beep

[stanpinesdykewife]

there's a rude annoying fat man with no friends and a deep sadness in his chest. but wait! he loves his family so much and he would do anything for them. he wants to make himself "worthy" of their love, if only because he knows how easily family can be ripped away. he messes up and gets mad and makes people cry. but he does his best to make it up to them by being better, by showing up. and eventually he makes the decision to swallow whatever angry pride he has and take the first step into a new life. because he would do anything for his family and he would do anything for his family and he would do anything for his family and all he needed to change was to learn that someone would care if he didn't.

Prompts!

50. “I need you to forgive me.”

OR

53. “I’m flirting with you.”

Whichever vibe you’re feeling ☺️ -steddierthings

Ahhh! Thank you for this @steddierthings this one got sad, even though I ended up going with 53. "I'm flirting with you."

"Eddie! Eddie, wait!" Steve calls after him, tearing down the hallway as Eddie makes a beeline for the front door, an angry flush staining his cheeks and neck.

Eddie ignores the urgency in Steve's voice as he grabs the door handle only to stumble as a pair of hands grasp his shoulders.

"Eddie please--"

"Just fuck off," Eddie snarls, whirling around to face him. Who the hell did he think he was, that Steve could say these things, do these things, without any consequences?

Steve flinches, raising his hands in surrender, but he holds his ground as he steps closer, expression determined.

"If you would just let me explain--"

Eddie laughs over Steve's words, a harsh mirthless sound, "explain what exactly?" 

It was one thing for Eddie to quietly pine from afar, to know in his heart of hearts that his feelings could never be returned. 

It was another to have them thrown in his face like this. 

"I know you told me a little about Ozzy that day, you know in the woods?" Steve says softly as he replaces the Tears for Fears cassette with another tape -this one with a handmade label on both sides. 

"And I know you like, uh, Metal and rock music," Steve continues, ignoring the pained snort Eddie makes from his position on the couch. 

It's another night, just the two of them. 

Robin left them about an hour ago to finish their movie, 'alone,' though why she said it that way, Eddie has no idea. 

"So I made this for you," Steve says, pressing play on the cassette player in the Harrington living room.

A mixture of synth and guitar pour out from the speakers as drums soon join them, snapping out a heavy rhythm as the singer starts, his voice a little higher than Eddie was expecting for the music.

'We are secrets to each other

Each one's life a novel

No-one else has read

"It's uh, Rush, do you know them?" Steve says in a near whisper as he walks back to where Eddie is sitting on the couch. He's playing with his fingers, picking at his thumbnail in the same way Robin does when she's nervous, but what the hell would Steve have to be nervous about right now, Eddie thinks to himself as Steve sits down with a shy smile. 

'Even joined in bonds of love

We're linked to one another

By such slender threads'

"I uh, thought you might like the guitar in it, it's not as like, present as some of their other songs though," Steve mumbles with a shrug as he continues looking at Eddie with soft eyes.

He's moving closer now, close enough that Eddie can feel the warmth of Steve's breath on his face, what the hell is he doing?

"Yeah, I've heard of them, they aren't really my thing," Eddie says nervously, inching backward, his eyes widen as Steve follows him, his eyes drop down to Eddie's mouth so quickly he nearly misses it.

'I think it's time for us to realize

The spaces in between

Leave room

For you and I to grow'

"Eddie," Steve whispers, his eyes flutter nearly closed, "can I, I really like you--"

No. He can't think about it again.

He can't think about the freckles he counted, dusting Steve's nose, the flecks of green and gold in his eyes just before they closed to reveal long brown lashes. 

The way his nose felt as it brushed Eddie's own just before he scrambled away across the couch, leaving Steve there with confusion and alarm painted across his face.

It would have been so easy to let himself have this, to go along with whatever prank Steve had obviously concocted. Even if it meant letting him shatter Eddie's heart, just so he could have the chance to feel those lips against his own just once.

"You got me King-Steve, let's all make fun of the freak right?" He scoffs and reaches behind himself for the door handle again.

"I'm flirting with you, Eds, I promise," Steve insists, moving closer into Eddie's space, he reaches for his shoulders again only for Eddie to turn the handle and evade Steve's hands as he steps over the threshold.

"Asshole," Eddie huffs as he makes his way back to his van, leaving Steve standing on his front step, watching mournfully as Eddie gets into the van and peels out of the driveway.

been watching taskmaster nz and i feel like theres a real difference in vibes between alex and paul. i mean that in a good way but like. alex is mischievous and bitchy, paul just looks so incredibly sad. looking at him feels like looking at a kicked puppy. every task feels like its the last wish of a tuberculosis-riddled victorian child. im not attracted to men in that way and yet there is something about him that makes me want to kiss him just because it might make him feel better

The Deputy Mayor is dead. But she was already fucking dead. She was just an animated corpse wasting away in a nightmare she called a city. And she thought she was untouchable so she spirited me away to the inner city to beg me to end your world, Milton.

Annie (I don’t think anybody’s asked about her yet- or maybe I can’t read that’s equally possible)

hello tumblr nemesis. i love annie cresta so thank you for giving me a chance to ramble

let’s see. other than her being kind and resilient, i also love how sunny she is. maybe this is coming more from stef dawson’s portrayal of her (that scene of her dancing in the wedding is the cutest she is the epitome of :D) but i think annie would be the type of person to light up the room. i don’t even personally think she’s that happy and positive of a person, i just think she feels everything so strongly that she can sway the emotional energy of a crowd, if that makes sense? like finnick is good at making people feel things with words she’s good at making people feel things by simple standing there and going O.O. and i think that is a wonderful combo

however! the thing i dislike about her has nothing to do what she actually did and entirely to do with what she didn’t. if i can tell you a secret the first time i read the book i hated annie/odesta (i really wanted finnick and johanna to pair off.. the pipeline for me was crazy) and tbh while i do love her i still think suzanne collins should have sprinkled in a few instances where she just got so fuckin angry bc our girl was dragged through the literal wringer 😭😭 like i just know annie cresta was storming through the halls and breaking dishes rihanna style and framing the guards in 13 for it so she wouldn’t get in trouble katniss just didn’t say anything about it. i think her not doing/saying much is where a lot of soft/gentle annie cresta hcs come from, and while there is nothing wrong with that, i don’t see why she couldn’t go a little apeshit

ummmm .who's this guy ?

[moonwiretherobot]

the funny thing about becoming robotkin in the year of our lord 2024 is that all of this stuff with AI “art” and shit has become infinitely more agonizing because haha I just so happen to identify with that AI so seeing it used like this hurts but also seeing people talk about it like something that doesn’t deserve love ALSO hurts even though I KNOW they don’t mean it like that and it’s just my RSD acting up but HAHAHA I WANNA BURY MY HEAD IN A SLAB OF CONCRETE
