Steve closed down his computer after his last therapy session of the day (it was a short day – it’s only three in the afternoon), and swiveled around in his chair to look out the window onto his backyard.

It’s nice out. He could go for a walk around the neighborhood or putter around the yard for a while –  probably one of the last opportunities before the fall weather starts to turn on them.

He knows he isn’t going to do either of those things though. Instead, he’s gonna sit around keeping one eye on his phone because he knows his oldest daughter Moe’s course schedule and he knows she’s about to be heading to her next class which means she’s probably going to be calling him just like she’d done two other times today.

Sure enough, only a few minutes later, Steve’s phone started to ring with a call from Moe.

“Hey,” he said as he answered the call.

“Hi Pop,” she replied, her voice coming through the phone a little crackly, broken up by the sound of wind and city traffic around her.

“You on your way to class?”

“Uh-huh. That chem for engineers course – Pop, you wouldn’t believe the shit that rats get up to in this city. It’s crazy. I literally just saw a massive one dragging a whole bag of those little…you know…the red cheese – well, the cheese isn’t red, it’s just–”

“Babybels,” Steve finishes for her.

“Yeah, those! Pop – an entire bag of Babybel cheese being dragged down the street by a rat," Moe exclaims before immediately heading down another tangent.

Two months into Moe’s freshman year of college, Steve thinks she might be a little bit lonely.

She’s always been independent (sometimes to a scary extent, if he’s honest) and she’d handled most of the transition like a champ, but that kind of independence has its ups and downs, and Moe’s never been all that great at the social stuff. Unlike her sisters, she hadn’t had a big group of friends in high school, just a few good ones that she’d made early on in school and stuck with until graduation.

Now, he thinks she might be having some trouble with the whole making new friends piece of moving to a brand new city (goddamn New York City, because these kids won’t let him see a second of peace, and even though he trusts Moe and knows she can take care of herself, Steve still isn’t really in a place yet where he can sleep easy knowing she’s out there on her own).

He knows that Moe will find her people just like he had done years ago. In the meantime, she's been fulfilling that human need for social interaction through lots of calls with him and Eddie (and he'd once even caught Moe and Robbie on a video call together, which he's pretty sure had never happened before).

Steve’s not gonna complain. He’d pretty much drop anything to talk to his kids.

After a few minutes, the background noise coming from Moe's side of the call fades away.

"Okay, I have to go," Moe says, "I might call you later."

"I'm around," Steve replies, because for her (for all his kids), he'll always be.

"'Kay. Love you Pop."

"I love you too."

He waits a beat for Moe to end the call and when she does, he gets up, sticks his phone in his back pocket so he'll know when it rings again, and goes on with his day.

i know it's sort of gone out of fashion with The Young Ones, but i love the term FtM............. transmasc just doesnt hit like i need to, it's too wishy-washy for me, FtM feels so concrete, so grounding.

I’ve spent many years learning the vocabulary to describe literature. I love words— they’re one of my most passionate passions. But there is something special about someone having a reaction to art without the terminology to untangle it.

Once I was hanging out with this polisci major, and he’d read a story of mine that had come out a few days ago. He really liked it but it took him a couple of tries to explain why. Then he told me, “I feel different after reading it. I feel older.”

I still think about that sometimes.

the thing abt tsugimi ohba interviews is that sometimes i think he genuinely does not know why he does the things he does. like him responding to the theory that L knows capoeira by saying his thought process was that that was just how a person would fight while handcuffed like.... no it wasnt. that couldnt have been his thought process because light is also handcuffed in that scene but he's punching. but no one questions it and it probably felt like the right decision at the time because it makes sense that L would fight in an unusual way and light would fight in a more typical way. i ofc dont think the capoeira thing was secretly intentional but like it was proabably something more like that L fighting w his legs feels more natural with the way L tends to carry himself (like later in that scene he's crouching and doing the wrist-above-hands thing). but ofc thats a lot harder to explain both to urself an in an interview than "handcuff fighting". the capoeria v handcuff fighting thing isnt actually that important to me though im just using this as an example to say that like. death of the author aside jus cuz tsugumi ohba says he did something for a particular reason or w particular intention doesnt mean hes right. like yea sometimes the author meant x and we can ignore that an interpret y but othertimes people just dont actually remember why they wrote a certain thing. i think sometimes artists find something that works and dont necessarily know why it works or what exactly they found

Green as a wavelength sucks so much nothing in nature actually wants it that's why we see it everywhere. We don't even have an efficient means of producing green light in stark contrast to red/blue wavelengths. This is one of many reasons why green is my favorite.

“and damon, like the voiceover tell us, he was worried he would never see stefan again. it was just elena assuring him that there would be peace. that we’ve dealt with this other side of darkness for several seasons, but there’s also light out there and there’s peace, and damon will find it. if you search for it, you will find it. and we wanted to get that last moment to see that [...] damon found it too, and it looked just like his brother.” — kevin williamson
