It’s late in the day when Sam Owens first approaches Eddie.
Eddie is sitting in a lawn chair on the edge of Joyce and Hopper’s backyard in Hawkins, Indiana, and sort of trapped there ever since his and Steve's daughter Moe had dozed off in his lap a little while ago.
For the record, Eddie and Steve don’t live in Hawkins. They’d have to be insane to stick around after everything this hole of a town put them through, never mind willingly choose to raise a child there. No, Hopper had bullied them into making the trek home to celebrate Moe's first birthday (Jesus H. Christ, she's one) and by the looks of how crowded the yard is, he'd done the same to practically the entire rest of the Party too.
Eddie isn't actually trapped either. It's true that he doesn't really want to tempt fate by waking Moe up from a nap that he and Steve had sort of resigned themselves to skipping that day, but he could get up if he wanted to. He's a whole sap in his big age of thirty-six though, and extremely aware of how quickly Moe’s first year of life had flown by. He'd be a damn fool to not relish in these moments, when Moe is a baby still, when she's little enough to fall asleep in his lap like this.
So he's sitting and he's letting his mind wander down whatever rabbit-holes it ventures upon because he's not just a sap these days, he's getting retrospective too.
Twenty years after all the shit that went down in his Hawkins, Eddie considers himself a secondary character in it all (even though it hadn’t felt like it at the time – that’s for fucking sure).
Honestly, he'd really only been involved in about five days out of several years of that shit – not in the know yet for the first part, and unconscious for the end of it – secondary character stuff, in Eddie’s opinion (and as a two-time published novelist, he’d be the one to know).
It's probably for the best, to be honest. He barely survived even the secondary stuff — with a mostly-full picture of everything that happened over those three years he feels pretty positive that if he’d gone through anything more he wouldn’t have been so lucky.
And these days, in July of 2002, he’s feeling pretty lucky too.
“Doc,” Eddie nods as Owens takes the empty chair beside his own.
Owens is another one of these secondary characters in everything. Owens is…Eddie isn’t sure who Owens is, to be honest. A doctor in some capacity, he's fairly certain, and also a scientist too in some capacity given how he’s still in Hawkins doing research on all that shit — and he roped Dustin into it too (though as far as Eddie can tell, Dustin is a more-than willing victim in it and goddamn thrilled to be taking over his work someday too).
Someday soon, Eddie would wager, because Owens is well and truly reaching retirement age – he probably should have retired already, honestly, but Eddie can also sort of see why it might be difficult to step away from the kind of work he’s spent his life doing.
“Mr. Munson,” Owens greets him in return. Eddie watches his eyes flick down to Moe for a moment, “Or is it Pops these days?”
“That’s Steve, actually,” he replies, tipping his head in the direction of Steve, who’s standing at the grill with Hop (they’re listening to Dustin ramble about something and wearing matching beleaguered expressions).
Owens seems to understand the implication, because his only response is another one of those wry smiles and an exhaled laugh.
“Well, congratulations either way. I was very happy for you when I heard the news about the adoption.”
“Still keeping tabs on us after all these years?” Eddie asks, mostly joking because he knows the answer is yes. He knows they’ll have eyes on them for the rest of their lives for one reason or another (which he’s nearly made his peace with by now).
“Well, old habits die hard,” Owens replies somewhat tiredly, “Or something to that effect.”
Eddie doesn't really have anything to say in response, so he opts to say nothing, instead running a hand over Moe's hair — it's getting long these days, not quite long enough to style yet but long enough that she shakes her head to get it out of her eyes and knocks herself off-balance which is so so cute.
“I’ll admit," Owens continues after a while, "When I first met you, this isn’t where I thought you’d end up.”
“Yeah, you and me both, Doc," he laughs, because it's true.
“What I mean to say," he pauses, "It suits you.”
Moe chose that moment to finally stir, snuffling a bit as she lifts her head and looks at him with those beautiful brown eyes of hers.
"Good nap, bug?" he asks quietly.
She responds with a bleary, "Dada" (which she had only just started saying a few weeks ago and it goddamn kills Eddie every single time) as she nuzzled her cheek against his shoulder.
He hears Owens let out a soft chuckle.
“You’re really milking this, bug," Eddie says as presses a kiss onto the top of her head, "I think he gets it.”

"Holding your hand doesn't have to mean that I accept your friendship," the liar said to the truthful, trying to lie in front of the only person who understands his intentions.
He knows, of course, that the liar did not lie. For the liar is also the truthful.

based on a convo with my brother
#i use year pretty much exclusively but my brother says the writer#i guess the writer makes sense bc you dont have to memorize all the years#but i think the year gives it more context than the author#though ig there are runs where you have to say author bc the run has been going on for so long#like ill usually say 'starlin's batman' bc its technically like 400 issues into batman (1940)#i also usually say 'marz green lantern' when i talk about kyle's gl run#bc even though its gl 1990 kyle doesnt show up until issue 50#and it basically becomes a different book when marz takes over#idk im curious what everyone else thinks

erik will genuinely jump at any chance he can to steal charles' last name and be so catty about it i know this for a fact WHAT is his deal
[Magneto (2011)]
#cherik#snap chats#if i had a nickel every time erik went by 'mr xavier' at some point id have two and its making me wheeze#like at least the first time it was to be headmaster or whatever so it at least makes sense but vjaevlEVEKJV WHY#needed our mandatory charles mention for the magneto issue ig alright ill take it#legit tho why did he feel inclined to steal charles name vjelkvjeaklj like his names 'erik magnus' in this#while i was trying to answer that fashion ask i stumbled upon this thing and gave it a quick read#its only one issue and fairly short so why not#Context Squad I Guess this issue's just sharing the first time erik moves to new york#hence. stealing charles name i guess vjaLVKJAJKL like girl you didnt do anything evil yet ..... alright .... just to be sure ig...#do you ever think he freezes getting called mr xavier or is he so used to it at this point#maybe he twirling his hair and giggling to himself every time he hear it idk#oh but yeah he didnt do anything evil yet. he actually gets his suit in this issue from a woman named cassandra .....#not charles sister of course but still im laughing anyway because he wants her to join him in his Not-Brotherhood group#and shes like 'i met you like five days ago youre insane' and the sort#its an ok read. its unnerving seeing erik smile so much- especially so broadly but its not like. an offensive issue. its standard#it does the job on sharing the story. not that im a critic of any sort vjalkjkaLJ#at the very least it's implied erik has a notable accent in this so thats very cool 🥰#its always cute whenever erik admits hes a drama lover too like vjeLVJEalkvjelkj like at least hes self aware this theater kid 😩#ok bye ive been meaning to work on something but ive been running around all day valkvjkae

sonadow au doodles that KILL ME!!! general gist of the au under the cut if you're curious
basically shadow is a ghost haunting the "ark" (a lab disguised as a house where he, gerald, and maria all lived) and about 50 years after his death team sonic + rouge and my bf's oc, acid, as irresponsible teens/young adults and attempt to have a party, but sonic is dragged off into the darkness to be possessed by shadow in his drunken state. they grow a rivalry fighting over control of sonics body and eventually fall in love over it (think venom and eddie brock). they live like that for a few years and the sonic gang adjust to life with a weird little ghost around, eventually fixing up the lab with eggman's help (who def starts out as a dick to begin with but. he gets redeemed bc i love him) and make a new body for shadow from his remains and a child from maria's dna who sonic + shadow take in and raise (also named maria) and its js a cushy fluffy family story from there and they have their own hoglets later too (they're t4t so one was from amy but when shadow got his body he was able to impregnate people so one of them is from him, they're twins tho :3) they kill me i love them so so so much
#harv's art#sorry my dog ate my sketchbook#sonadow#sonic x shadow#sonic au#sth au#sth fanart#sonic fanart#shadow the hedgehog#sonic the hedgehog#maria robotnik#except not really#maria prower#bc sonic and tails are brothers in this au#ig#also to be clear#idk if i've stated this#but i'm a shadow fictkin and my boyfriend is a sonic fictkin#so this is VERY self indulgent for us#i had to FIGHT not to say “i' instead of ”shadow“#anyways runs away#take my t4t mpreg sonadow /silly

there’s something i really adore about curly being revealed to being this beautiful blond man after we see him post crash like what happens to him is so awful and dehumanizing like he really loses everything but especially as a viewer/player watching this game i love the commentary it’s silently making and this uncomfortable feeling in my chest that i have to wrestle with. love it when stuff makes me feel
I think it’s so poignant that Jimmy never hallucinates or sees Curly as his pre-crash self. He only speaks to Curly about and in terms of his own thoughts and projections and rarely lets him have his own inner personal thoughts. Even before the crash it is like this. He is the perfect captain to him and to an extent the rest of the crew even if he is more actualized around the others.
So much of how Curly is dehumanized by Jimmy and the rest is representative of how the Pony Express and capitalism strips workers of their identity, into objects of service. Once he can’t do anything who or what he was is no longer important, worthless, a burden. He is both the dandy dish in HFIM, the idea of going up being before the crash, while the ball is after the crash, his forced decent downwards.
There is an argument he is dehumanized to less than an even object with how his ID card lacks a name and face in Jimmy’s hallucination. Even Anya gets her name, and identify. He is just an empty spot, a role to fill to a lot of them, which is think is why so many fans have a hard time pin pointing who Curly was before the crash and what he stood for.
So much of what we saw of Curly was a man on duty, a man serving under his job and starting to find conflict with that. We don’t really get to see Curly acting for himself and it think it tells about the way he has been molded along with the way he was trying to reshape himself outside of P.E before it was too late.
I always finding intriguing how people almost prefer to draw post crash Curly, to draw his suffering and continue, to an extent, him being the scapegoat, faceless and facing repercussions other characters and entities should. Being a figure to vent frustration to because he can’t fight back, we don’t know what he would say or how he would feel or what he would’ve done. We don’t really know that when he had skin either…
#it’s easy to assume and project a lot of aspects on to curly because he’s purposely kept as blank as possible while still being relatable so#we can be tricked like the crew into thinking he could’ve crashed the ship but we learn as the game goes on even with so little#he is not that type of guy and I hate takes that ignore or use Jimmy’s unreliable narration#and warping of scenes he is in to try to characterize Curly accurately as it shows a double standard when people believe someone deserves#punishment like none of their conversations are mutually beneficial or naturally they are stiff#one sided as Jimmy gets way more out of it or steers it in a way his projection takes forefront#we don’t get Curly’s true insights outside of the dissociative episode and him running around trying to placate Anya and Jimmy#literally the split between his personal and professional life but way more muddled as it is indistinguishable atp#I hate when people use Jimmy’s words to create accurate depictions for him as he projections and warps the perceptions of Curly just as much#if not equally as he does Anya but whatever we can apprently only talk about one theme for a complex story and never play with ideas that#are seen in real life so fuck me ig#mouthwashing#captain curly#curly mouthwashing#ask#anon#mouthwashing game

This is a question I had for a while..who’s top and who’s bottom in the golden spice ship?
Down here 👇
Bit of a weird question to ask since the top/bottom dynamic is specifically for gay couples (mlm). It describes who gives it and who receives it ("it" being dick). It doesn't really work with hetero pairs because the man gives it by default. That's just how it works. Man = plug, woman = socket
So Burning Spice is the "top" bc of course he is haha. I don't think he's 100% dominant all the time, per se, I imagine them taking turns being the one "in charge" in bed (makes sense with who they are as individuals + how their relationship works imo). But there's more than one way to do that besides who puts the dick where. Example... Burning Spice is tied down to the bed so he isn't able to touch Golden Cheese while she rides him. If he tries to move or break free, he gets punished (like. He gets slapped or punched or something. Or she tightens the restraints enough to hurt*. Not being able to touch her is torture on its own tbh, everything else is extra). He's not allowed to squirm, he has to sit there and let her do what she wants without interference. He has to be a good toy/slave and let her use him. Stuff like that. He's still giving it but she's dictating how he does so ykwim
*I understand that he'd be into getting slapped around like that lol. He's a huge sadomasochist, he'd want to get roughed up just as much as he'd want to rough her up. He'd act out just to entice her to hit him again because he likes it. Then obey and do as she says because her being so domineering is hot af. Then do it all over again. He wins either way. (Only thing that sucks there is not being able to touch her tbh. He cannot keep his hands off of her, in bed and out of it. But she can atone for denying him this simple yet addicting pleasure another time...)
#i guess there's pegging... but that weirds me out so I'd rather not take it into consideration personally#if you want to that's fine ig. y'all can fiddle with BurningCheese however you want to. nothing to do with me#tbh this question is better aimed at PureShadow/ShadowVanilla haha. they're m/m so the dynamic applies#just bc I can and I'm already here... PV and SM switch. things are pretty even between them#also I imagine them both being nerdy virgins w a really weird and awkward relationship w sex and sexuality#so they explore and learn things together as they go#there. just in case someone felt like asking in the future lol#cookie run kingdom#burningcheese#goldenspice#merchant asks#suggestive

I've seen a few posts btw that seem to oversimplify Burning Spice to "destructive asshole who only wants to kill as much as possible" and Golden Cheese's only potential relationship to him as simply "she's purely disgusted by him and would never want to see him again" so I wanted to drop my 2 cents 🪙🪙
I really do wonder if all Spice's talk of "I'm going to kill you, I'm gonna kill your friends, and I'm gonna Totally Crush And Destroy whatever's left of your fallen kingdom" is... really just for show.
He does get VERY very close to crumbling her... but the whole while, we KNOW that killing her would be unsatisfactory. He doesn't even take the soul jam for himself. He doesn't lay a finger on Smoked Cheese, who ends up being easy prey after she loses consciousness (and would, most certainly count as Destroying One Of Her Treasures).
I think he fully expects that she'll be able to fight back! I don't know if he knows about Awakening (who knows? what if sm briefed him on what happened to flour 🤷) but I think he understands that if there's ANYONE in the world with the same amount of power, it MUST be the one who has the other half of it. He's not actually looking to kill her, and I think if she had passed out again, he would have simply taken her back to the cage. After all, he loves the game as much as he loves winning it.
For Spice, sure, it's entertaining, but it also really just is a moment of feeling... complete? Evenly matched? Finally able to let loose? Like scratching a centuries-old itch? Who knows, but it's just. "Ok, well I can't die, and I'm not sure you can, either. Let's have a "fun" time. And by fun, I mean lethal to everyone but us."
And we KNOW fighting is a great way to portray attractive tension. From the moment he set eyes on GC, BS was, simply put, obsessed. With his insistence that she should enjoy the fight, the fact he doesn't kill her or harm someone dear to her while he can, the fact he compliments her and listens to what she says instead of dismissing it (you can see she strikes a nerve!) you know he sees her as an equal at the very least... and may even be infatuated.
As for Goldie... the fact that this specific encounter is what made her feel ready to talk to WL? Who arguably did worse? Mind you, Lily being DE is doubly hurtful - for one, this extremely close friend of hers essentially turned her back on the world INCLUDING Golden, and also. Wholesale, she's (in)directly responsible for the destruction of the entire Golden Cheese Kingdom. And yet, after simply "Teaching Spice A Lesson" (one with... actually very weak impact in the actual story), she feels ready to talk to someone who was an even bigger threat to her treasures, to what she's fighting for.
I think her choice to leave Spice alive is ... a strange, but not fully ooc decision. She's forgiven someone who took her soul jam, she's likely going to work something out with someone who took her kingdom... so who's to say she hasn't thought ahead here, too? After all, if he gets too bold, tries to hurt her, tries to hurt her friends, she can easily put him in his place, at any time. The risk is genuinely minimal. But that would surely get boring eventually right? She's extended out her hand to anyone who needs it... who's to say she would NEVER extend a hand out to someone with not much better left to do or go back to?

We should give Dream more cool designs. I've seen some that I really liked but I miss that archer aesthetic he has.
I usually completely ignore the "star" group because I'm not really interested in Ink or Blue, but those three should follow an aesthetic as a group. I imagine them wearing animal masks maybe, or some signature style on their outfits.
Is this maybe an excuse to have Dream wear an owl mask? maybe but in my head I imagine him as a cool archer.
#this is so messy but who cares i am just sharing a lazy ideaaaaa#stars could be a better group for me if i could find and interesting take of them that doesn't limits to be “the good fellas”#like yeah they help aus they say#but mostly doesn't dig on it besides the most basic tropes#oh no the “bad guys” are attacking!!#X thing happens and depending the author you get to see em get their ass kicked or the “bad guys” just run away#boring#no i am so sorry but it bores me a lot#anyways!#utmv#undertale au#undertale multiverse#dream sans#star sanses#ig#buu shares a thought

I literally just wanted to listen to the song.
It sounds like it should be the end credit after you finish the main story and made it through an arduous journey, and now everyone is going to live happily ever after. This would be playing during an epilogue as it shows scenes of every single character going about their normal daily life. As the song ends, it will pan to the main characters, implying that this is just the beginning of the next stage of their lives.
#love and deepspace#videos#can you imagine#i would literally cry my eyes out#like i want to see thomas negotiating with people#jeremiah running his flower shop#tara doing her card reading#pie being silly and gluttonous around dr. noah as he is reviewing his researches#etc. etc.#and then it pans to#rafayel working in his studio#zayne taking a break from work and feeding clopidogrel#xavier setting his kitchen on fire - again#caleb is also here because i said so#sylus can be off being moody or something with his crow ig#and finally as the song wraps up it pans to mc somewhere majestic like a flower field or the beach#she smiles at the camera but also at the three main lis as they smile back at her#and the camera pans up to the sky with the game's logo#i have a vision#and that vision is making me sad#because i hate endings because of the bittersweetness#ugh#i'm gonna go listen to the guys meowing to make me less sad now#bye
