as someone who was paid in bank orders by the small family store when i was a teen, i was delighted by rekha making it canon that usha just hands the money out to them in a vaguely illegal feeling way. too real. bless small businesses run by people who never seem to remember that there are easier ways to pay people

#never stop blowing up #nsbu #the small business was very lovely #but between that and them selling a VERY niche food product that i wont name because its very specific #in a low-traffic strip mall that got maybe 10 customers on a good day #my dad was completely convinced it was a money laundering scheme #if it was they still did make the food and i helped package so much of it #so it mustve still been a little bit of love for the game #and you know what? if they were laundering money then good for them. they were all very nice.

Italian Steve Harrington hcs because why not:

He was born in Italy (ovbisouly) but moved to hawkins when he was around 10 or 11.

He speaks fluent Italian, it's his first language, which is why he asks what certain words mean so much. He's still expanding his English vocabulary.

He always writes his notes in Italian, he was forced to stop writing in Italian at school but after he graduated he started again. Robin keeps trying to read his little notes but she doesn't know Italian yet. (He has a journal that's in Italian because he knows Robin keeps trying to read it)

He teaches Robin Italian because she wanted to learn. Mainly so she could understand what he mumbles.

When he's stressed, scared, or angry he'll start rambling/yelling in Italian. No one understands him but Eddie always gets him to calm down. Robin does too but for some reason Eddie does it the best. Unless he's arguing then he has to be reminded to speak English.

He's an amazing cook, everything he makes is good. Steve tries his best to introduce everyone to certain Italian dishes.

He has several of his grandma's old cook books.

During the holidays his parents force him to fly out to Italy to see the rest of his family. After the age of 13, his parents are already there waiting for him.

He insults people in Italian so they don't understand him. Dustin, Mike, and Robin are normally the victims.

Sometimes he'll just switch into Italian and has to be reminded to speak English.

He loved living in Italy but refuses to move back because all of his friends (family) that matter live in Hawkins.

#italian steve harrington #steve harrington #stranger things #steddie #robin buckley #headcanon #eddie thinks steve talking in Italian is very hot #eddie and robin beg steve to make them food #i love Italian steve sm #steves parents still suck btw #they basically sent him to live in hawkins because its a small town and they think he'll be safe when they go on business trips #hes not safe

Need more fics where sj!SQQ and a martial sibling gets stuck in a situation, and instead of them having a bonding moment or something stupid and emotionally healing, sj just pulls out a knife.

#mind you i eat up the emotionally healing tropes #i just think itd be very funny if #'oh no. im in a situation with my worst shixiong. we're at risk of losing our lives. please tell my mother i love her.'#and then the martial sibling(depending on the one)#would try to resolve any bad blood between themselves and sj #and sj just removes a hidden knife from the small of his back that wasnt confiscated or something #and just frees them #maybe he puts the knife through the jaw of a captor or a really formidable beast #svsss #and just goes 'what was shidi saying? i was busy being the only resourceful and useful person in the sect'#original shen qingqiu #shen jiu #cang qiong #og shen qingqiu #og sqq

There's an awkward "first date" silence between them, the kind that suggests there isn't going to be a "second". Giselle tries her best to keep the conversation going.

#giselle philip #king edward #enchanted #disneyedit #enchantededit #enchanted 2007 #enchanted movie #prince edward #amy adams #rucksack*#so much I love about this scene #the way she's awkwardly playing with her hair #edward's confusion when she says “the day AFTER that”#the way they're just not on the same wave length At All #the very unexcited tone in her voice when she says “well I'm very excited about that but...”#followed by the immediate joy she feels when she sees/orders their hotdogs #like she's so excited for that food it's probably the only part of that date she did enjoy #meanwhile edward just wants this shit to end so they can leave #like he's so bored and uninterested in everything she says #also it's not mentioned here but in the script she continues and mentions wanting to open a small business #and possibly do volunteer work too #and edward doesn't understand even a little bit #god. their date is just. so good. they're both so utterly miserable the whole time I love it so much

the birdseller. fogg. mrs. mooney. pirelli. do you think the sinister small business owners of the Sweeney Todd london-verse hang out and all have stands at the farmer's market every saturday

#i count running an asylum as a small business because clearly it's just his stupid house and he's very involved with it #birdseller with his creepy eyes-poked-out birds #mrs mooney with her cat pies #pirelli with his dubiously safe shaves and um.... potions #i love how ambiently evil everyone in the sweeney todd universe is. armand made a good alignment chart about this #and of course then sweeney and lovett are there #sweeney being like ��discount shaves for indigent drifters just passing through”#lovett being like “supiciously succulent pies!”

It was quite worrying walking down the main shopping streets of my city during pride and seeing that barely any of them have any pride flags or anything in the window. Rainbow capitalism will not save us but it is so unnerving when even last year most shops had some kind of bunting in the window and this year it was only three or four. Like idk it feels emblematic of a worsening or idk souring attitude towards queer people that is definitely influenced by rampant transphobia in the uk. Which is why it’s so upsetting when cis queer people join in on transphobia in hopes of distancing themselves from the current social and political undesirability of transness.

#idk idk it just makes me nervous when businesses won’t even trot out a bit of rainbow bunting for one day #like I don’t need McDonald’s to pretend to love gay people but it really does feel like showing support of lgbt people is now seen as a #liability rather than profitable #and I think that that’s ultimately a step back?#idk there’s been a lot of Christian proselytising in town that has been really like gathering audiences and engaging people when most people #used to ignore it and walk right past it and it all just feels a little bit scary #when i say Christian proselytising i mean explicitly homophobic Christian proselytising #which also just sucks to have to hear on your way to work.#I’m a fucking person not a sign of the end times #anyway I had a good time and my city’s pride is quite small and very sweet and it was a good day but like. uh oh.#this has all been said before and better by other people
