Steddie soulmate AU where Eddie is a famous musician, everyone assumes he doesn't have a soulmate. Eddie was just smart and doesn't confirm, doesn't want to go through rabid fans who claim to be his soulmate. He's had too many show up wearing his initials they tattooed on themselves even before he was asked about soulmates in an interview.
Enter Steve Harrington who works as a nurse. Just casually on his third nightshift in a row in the ER. Sipping some coffee trying not to fall asleep when they get the call about some confidential patient coming in.
Eddie comes in for some injury. Steve has 0 clue who he is, just says "You look familiar, did we go to school together?" And Eddie practically falls off the stretcher at Steve's feet. Goes all googoo eyes at him. Steve being mildly concerned because Eddie's heart rate keeps skyrocketing (its because Steve is touching him).
One of the other nurses can't help but try and get the gossip from Steve, who is very much confused as to why she cares about this random patient. She tells Steve who Eddie is, and he's just like ???? Okay???
Steve doesn't admit it but the picture she shows is HOT. It's Eddie, flipping off the camera, tongue out. He's covered in tattoos, including the word 'sorry' written in a weird script on his middle finger. He's shirtless and his pants are so low that Steve can see the dip of his hips creating a v and-
Steve has to walk into the supply room to get himself under control. Pretends it doesn't mean anything and goes back to his job as his heart thuds rapidly in his chest.
Eddie tries not to pass out when they draw his blood, Steve holds his hand. It feels right. Eddie can't help wanting to ask," Hey, do you have a soulmate?" But he hates being asked that question, so he won't.
Until Steve bends over, his scrub top lifting up slightly. Eddie can't help glancing at his ass, but then he can't breathe. Because on his lower back is the initials EJM.
"Steve G. H?" Eddie asks as his voice goes up an octave. Steve turns, bewildered ," How did you-?" "Edward James Munson." Eddie whispers.
Oh
#Eddie uses a temporary tattoo to change the G to look like an O and the H into a weird looking R#Adds the other letters for the word Sorry and just is like cool looks good I guess#Anytime anyone asks about soulmates he just raises his finger and everyone assumes he doesn't have one and is rude#He's just being honest!! He is showing his soul mark!!#Steve is like “excuse me” goes to the bathroom used only for meltdowns and stares into the mirror#It's his third night!!His hair isn't even styled!! His scrubs have a stain on the top!! And THIS is what he looks like meeting his soulmate#Steve knows Robin is somewhere cackling at this he just knows it#Soulmate AU#Steddie#Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson#Eddie Munson x Steve Harrington#Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson#Eddie Munson/Steve Harrington#Jade is Talking#Also idk if we know their middle names but this is fanfiction I control the characters now

Existential crisis where the crisis is existential non-consent because I'm forcing my favorite character to live despite them wanting to die because their continued existence through their despair gives me hope that a person can manage to make it through a ruined world by sheer force of indomitable will. In this essay, I will say how Joongdok is-
#Joongdok#kim dokja#yoo joonghyuk#this was supposed to be personal post but somewhere in the middle of the joke I thought wait this is just those two shitholes#existential crisis but the crisis is the non-con of continued existence without purpose#except Joonghyuk's purpose was to meet Dokja again and he just forgot about it#omniscient reader spoilers#orv

I feel like we as a fandom do not talk enough about the symbolism of Felix and Kagami being the only ones not wearing masks as they bare their souls to each other in that awful terrible no-good ballroom
#miraculous ladybug#felix graham de vanily#kagami tsuguri#feligami#mlb spoilers#ml spoilers#mlb emotion#ml emotion#The ballroom itself does not spark joy but the ballroom scene does#There is also something to be said about masks being associated with both heroes and villains#And them meeting somewhere in the middle

"You hold such high opinions of me, that I do not deserve.. I only hope you're not afraid of monsters."
You're scared you might not live up to my expectations, you worry that I've placed you on the highest pedestal, that I've created an image, an idealized version of you in my mind.
But I have never expect you to be anything more than exactly who you are in each and every precise second of time.
And I want you all the same, what you call beautiful and what you say is ugly.
I want you when you're lying awake alone at night, crying to the stars, when you are hopeless, crumpled on the bathroom floor.
I want your damage, your undoing, your violence.
No less than I want your good.
Your dancing and laughing in the kitchen as you wash the dishes, the carefree way you giggle as you whisper to me little secrets.
Your confidence, your gentle touch, your kindness.
I have seen your duality, I assure you, you're no worse a person than me.
The way I would be compelled to kiss you - how I have spent every waking, dreaming breath wondering how your lips would feel against mine.
And you'd let it happen, at least for a moment, just to know what it was like.
#romance#love#love poem#lovesick#little girl crush#writing#poets on tumblr#poem#poetry#spilled ink#spilled thoughts#spilled poem#spilled writing#original writing#personal poem#give me your all#your fire and your ice#your love and your hatred#let me be your grey#we will meet somewhere in the middle#my dearly beloved#flame

The OC: Ryan & Taylor Appreciation
I've just done another series rewatch and I have thoughts... I know the show focused on how different Ryan and Taylor were. It was mostly played for laughs and they were certainly their own rom-com. But I do wish they had been able to delve into what actually connects them: they both came from abusive, broken households. And from that, they both had these feelings of inadequacy that manifested themselves in different ways. For Taylor, it was this neurotic, overachieving. For Ryan, it was him going into himself, always having a chip on his shoulder, and always waiting for the other shoe to drop because good things don't happen to guys like him. Aside from the fact that the writers didn't have the time to do this, and I'm sure they wanted to keep the lightness of the season through their relationship, I would've loved to see more moments where they acknowledged this.
One of my favorite Ryan/Taylor moments is from the episode My Two Dads when Frank comes to the Cohens for dinner. After all the drama with that situation, they share this really lovely moment where they acknowledge how they got through their first "relationship milestone" and Taylor encourages Ryan to spend time with his family. Just a level of maturity that Ryan never had in his other relationships, and that moment really solidified why Taylor was such a great partner for him.
I was also listening to Ben's episode of The Welcome to the OC, Bitches podcast and Ben called out Autumn as one of his favorite people to work with because it was through the Ryan/Taylor dynamic that he got to explore a side of Ryan that he hadn't been able to play previously, and it shows how much fun he had with her.
#The OC#ryan x taylor#taylor x ryan#otp: you saved me#otp: more than with anyone#they way they just balance and stabilize each other in so many ways#she's too much and he's too reserved and they meet somewhere in the middle#they're the blueprint for odd couple tropes#i'm also a very dedicated and passionate taylor defender!#never did a damn thing wrong!!!!#lowkey autumn is the best actor from the younger cast tbh#autumn reeser#ben mckenzie#taylor townsend#ryan atwood

I just think the point of post-apoc shows is 1) to show the horrors obviously but also, and most importantly 2) the resiliency of human beings and their ability to still form meaningful bonds even when the worlds gone to shit bc wtf else is there????
#.ooc ( dani is an asshole )#oh a bad thing made ppl bad and they stayed bad and everyone was awful the end#boooooooring#no. let ppl heal.#like there’s a time and a place for both but like#not w/the ghoul tbh#if he doesn’t find the balance btwn cooper Howard and the ghoul and meet in the middle somewhere I just thinks that’s lazy and boring

Realised it’s @khoc-week so even though I don’t have the energy to do it daily have this I did a while ago but never posted.
Arxeht my beloved. They came to me in a dream where I was a replica (of multiple people but looked most like Vidar) made by apprentice Nort/Xemnas, who was the fifteenth member of the organisation and also had my knowledge of hit video games Kingdom Hearts and kept getting randomly thrown through space and time.
#khocweek2024#kh oc#kh ocs#kingdom hearts oc#kingdom hearts original character#Arxeht#blue boi draws#kingdom hearts#kh#Arxeht my beloved I love them#Apprentice Nort started making them to help figure out memories and based them on people he’d get glimpses of in dreams#but he got distracted and only came back and finished them/woke them up around the beginning of Days after Xion#meaning they are theoretically younger then Xion and Roxas but with the way they act and view the others they’re older#they woke up sorta all at once unlike Roxas and Xion. they also have basic knowledge about General Like that the kiddos lack#also their knowledge of how the game plays out is from the perspective of someone who played the games.#like they’d know the ‘press triangle for Sora’ meme and the differences between CoM and ReCoM and refer to time periods by their game name#also VERY AWARE that most kh games are tragedies and desperately trying to change that despite not really having the power to do so#Arxeht is shit at fighting but is saved from getting injured by any time they’re about to get hit it triggers a jump through time/space#and the jumps can be really far and in fast succession. they start a jump in twilight town and are thrown through Daybreak Town#and like two other worlds until they settle and fef a chance to breathe. its handy because they wont die but jumps can happen#in the middle of a conversation or while they’re trying to get somewhere in particular and then suddenly they’re ten years in the past#in a whole different world. it sucks.#can you tell the dream they came from was a stress dream? 90% of what I remember from it was running around trying to get to Xion and Roxas#and keep them safe. the other 10% was the org not knowing what to think of Arx and Xemnas being weird#Arxeht is heart + x in a reflection of Xehanort being no heart + x btw. that did not come from the dream I made it awake#Xemnas was weird he had a very distant vaguely amused view on everything Arxeht was doing I don’t think he ever thought of them as a threat#unlike Xigbar who was concerned which is fair because Arxeht knew he was Luxu and about MoM and stuff#the time jumps can get really long as well but tend to avoid kh era?? days onwards and bbs and before is fair game but they dont actually#meet Sora until kh2.#their main power is information. they know who people are and what’s going on and they are constantly trying to tell people during the

for the past couple years ive been slowly. slowly learning beginners japanese and its very fun and im enjoying it a lot but also it has made me painfully aware in ways i wasnt before of how much my specific vaguely ontario accent makes me make out sloppy style with my vowels. i am going at those vowel's tonsils. i am doing things to diphthongs you wouldnt even believe.
#come and meet the letter people. come and visit the familyyy#literally like i dont mind my ontario accent coming through my japanese thats okay BUT i do care about making sure im saying what#im actually trying to say. and sometimes without realizing my vowels have left off somewhere else in the middle of my word#turning it into some manner of other word. i accidentally said picasso bought the mona lisa instead of painted it the other day <3#i dont mind my mistakes but like. i still wanna do my best!!!!#its blowing my mind though. okay as an anglophone here the only way we'll learn anything about our own language is by#1) just having a natural interest in linguistics in general and/or 2) learning a new language#much to my mothers frustration when she came here in the 70s not knowing any english. even the english speakers couldnt help her#BUT luckily i was both interested in linguistics and learning new languages so i got to learn more things after preschool LOL#but like i remember taking french throughout highschool and being like. wait a god damn minute. i understand english grammer now?#it was bizarre. learning japanese phonetics as well has made me realize what on earth i do with my vowels. actually the entire way i talk#i didnt pay much attention to it but in my head i hear everything as my voice but with perfect north american man radio voice pronunciation#which it turns out. is not what my actual voice sounds like. its not even thaaat different its just different Enough. uncanny valley accent#although the reason i specify vaguely with my vaguely ontarian accent is because#in my area half of the native english speakers say stuff one way and the other half a different way. like within the same neighbourhoods#people always giggle at the way i say bagel. in my head i do picture it as bey-gul. but the second it lease my mouth its become BAG-ul#no one in my familiar says it like that. i dont know where it came from. i cant even stop it. im forever BAG-ul. forever.

it would be incredibly unwise for me to try to go to comiket next sunday (by which point i will be in japan) because it's the weekend after i move in and i will most likely be extremely busy trying to make 'have functional apartment with hot water and potentially even A Stove or Refrigerator' and 'eat at least one food of some kind' and 'not implode entire paperwork situation in some capacity* when i sign up with utilities/banks' all happen instead, but graahh i'm so cheesed that stuff like that is even gonna be an option (especially for smaller/'only' events centered on specific fandoms etc) i dig doujin culture SO much and i have THOUGHTS about what the western fanwork scene could and should take away from it. my admiration for it just won't end... (...sorry, joak comprehensible to the like 2.5 other people in anglosphere fandom aware that the MiA circle event is named 'this admiration/longing won't end' which is both a major theme of the show and line in its opening and a fitting and touching description of what being active in and passionate about fanwork feels like)
#*potentially brought about by: the bad things that happen when my middle name has to be put into a form somewhere in katakana#because people have just been Taking Their Best Guess and brother. none of them are guessing the same thing twice#anyway. probably no Comiket for ebil. but.#akotoma? ... listen. they couldn't keep me OUT of akotoma#i tentatively told my friend idk yet because i don't want to pull An Impoliteness of saying i can come meet her unless i know 100% but#guys...i will do everything in my power to get to an event that verifiably contains multiple dozens of other Sages Enjoyers#even if we can't understand each other and i'll just stare in tremulous polite fear and robotically request to buy books and say thank you

Fuck second drafts, I'm gonna start pulling THIS move
#ryuunosuke akutagawa being iconic as usual#he wasn't a particularly funny writer but he popped off in Green Onions for some reason#and he ends the story like “thank fuck i can meet my deadline”#and somewhere in the middle he goes “idk what happens here we're on a time crunch ok?”#writeblr#technically not writing#japanese literature#yeah my journey continues#akutagawa ryuunosuke

The "And I know that they say that it's all for a cause / our brave boys are fighting the war to end wars" lyric in Dear Bill wrenches my heart out... The pain of her singing that in the middle of the Second World War...
#how bitter she must feel at that moment#operation mincemeat#''and why did we meet in the middle of a war? what a silly thing for anyone to do'' 😔💔#i will continue screaming to the abyss until someone brings this musical somewhere where i can see it#or at least releases a full cast recording

eating this wire right now like do you think that maybe arifive weren't even meant to be together. like what if that's the only instance they ever met. and it makes sense! five was born in 1989 in europe, ari was born in 2004 in seasia, how the hell would they ever meet 😭 but somehow, in this timeline, there came that 0.01% chance that they DID and EVERYTHING CHANGED. do you see my vision here
#thinking about the commission handbook saying that in nearly every alternate timeline five was just a stay at home dad in dublin makes me fl#*feel so strange. idk. it was the delores mention probably HDSFHJSFH but man just imagine. i keep talking about arifive inevitability but#contrast that with the fact that they were just never supposed to meet ever. but THEY DID. AND IT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN ANY OTHER WAY#arifive ily#if i could never give you peace.♡#OHMYFUCJ THEIR TAG IS SO EXTRA NOW. THEIR LIVES COULD'VE BEEN SO MUNDANE AND YET. SOMEWHERE. IN SOME CORNER OF THE UNIVERSE#THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOST CHAOS KNOWN TO MAN. AND THEY'D CHOOSE EACH OTHER NO MATTER WHAT 🥹 do you guys get me#ari.stuffs

my sonicsona is now more of a character than they were when i first started concepting them. they even have a backstory now
#i still have to draw them but i have a lot of ideas. including ideas for how he meets Silver#poor Silver gets his shit wrecked and ends up falling from the stratosphere to land somewhere in the middle of nowhere#he makes a crater in some guy's yard and then that guy doesn't let him leave for almost a month.#rabbit.txt
