454 today. Did it in two bursts like the last few days. Still not done...
#i don't want to jinx it but the trick to these two writing bursts the last few days#is that i take a break and load or unload the dishwasher in between#make another cup of tea#and like... more writing *plus* my dishes are getting done???#this clearly can't last#it's too good to be true#but i'll take it while it works#shut up fraddit#i'm having fun writing this but god it'll probably the most boring thing in the world for anyone else to read#whatever#self indulgent#treat yo self#you can do whatever you want forever#etc etc

💫 Steve Harrington's House 💫
So, after this post, I couldn't let go of this house. I decided to rebuild it in The Sims and then I had so much info I felt the need to share it. Other than commenting on some crazy aspects of this mansion, I think it can give some input/ideas for possible scenarios in fanfiction! (for one, I'd like to know what Eddie thinks about half of the features of this house lmao). My process was: canon information > actual house information > gaps I filled the best I could Disclaimer: keep on describing Steve's house however you want to!! I'm sharing this in case you wanna be as close to the actual house as possible!
Listings: Zillow | Trulia | Homemetry

#I stand by what I said last time#Stevie you deserved a better house to be abbandoned in#can you believe they have 3 guest bedrooms?#and LOFTS??#5 car spaces???#3 fireplaces???#WHY#literally all the characters could live comfortably in here at the same time#also I can't stop thinking about Steddie making dumb excuses to sleep in the same bed since CLEARLY Steve has space#or the potential snuggles in front of the fireplace#also the unfinished basement would've been perfect for hiding Eddie wth???#stranger things houses#steve harrington#steve harrington house#stranger things#steddie#steve harrington's house layout#the harrington's house layout

#garry's mod#gmod#source engine#half life 2#sandbox#hearted#a car in the parking lot. no evident signs of life aside from your presence. the lights and heating in here are on. external doors locked#some stores are still in states of occupation but clearly none of them are actually doing business anymore#where are you? why are you here?#maybe you're in a weird vestigial janitor's position�� showing up to move odds and ends out and make sure no one's broken in#maybe just a very boring security job for the last couple weeks#maybe (and this is a stretch) you work in the diner downstairs that still seems to be at least *approaching* functional?#most appealing idea to me is just being someone walking home from work/school and finding one of the front doors left propped open#you stop in and can't help but wander the still-furnished stores and marvel at the stillness#there's a threatening feeling when these liminal maps block or lock exit doors that feels very obvious and it's not entirely missing here#but it doesn't feel like very *present* danger? i can't help but compare it to sneaking through an abandoned building#you're not really in any danger aside from maybe getting told off by a security guard who probably doesn't care#but this map inspires way more positive comfy feelings in me than it does any fear. it's a callback to the urbexing teen years i didn't hav#and a reminder of just how much dead retail space now pockmarks my neck of the woods

Hey hey do you think Athena almost went to go visit odysseus out of habit because she was bored and wanted someone to mess with, because she found a new move that would be perfect for him, because she had to witness some absolute idiocy and if she has to suffer odysseus does too and maybe after she wants he'll make some dumb joke that'll make her find the whole thing funny, because she misses him and didn't realize how lonely she was until she didn't have his friendship, because she cannot sleep at night and cannot stop replaying their last conversation over and over and over how as he screamed at her he had tears in his eyes and she---
#epic the musical#Athena#Odysseus#Athena almost visits odysseus so many times out of habit#Athena getting half way to the mortal realm before realizing what she was doing and that she was rightfully /pissed/ at him#And waiting for him to apologize and grovel before going to see him again#Later after love in paradise#As Athena is letting Apollo heal her#She can't help but reach into her well of prayers wondering if odysseus had reached out and she missed it somehow#And finding thousands of prays to her from odysseus#Half finished things where he starts to pray then cuts off with swears#Prayers that are just her name shouted in distress and out of reflex clearly coming from when odysseus was fighting some new monster#And prayer after prayer while he was trapped on Calypso's island begging her to end it to punish him in any other way#Prayer after prayer after prayer of odysseus/begging her while being assulted/#Athena nearly threw up when she heard them gods why hadn't she heard him ? Why did she not feel his prayers#Until after she had opened their old mental link she hadn't blocked him completely she should have heard#Who had prevent his prayers from reaching her?#This kinda turned into a different post in the tags whoops#Oh well not the first time not the last

What if Christos Lawton is the one responsible for putting I Say A Little Prayer For You on the official George Hodgson playlist. What then. On the one hand I would have to set myself on fire but on the other hand it would be FANTASTIC news for whoever authored my all time favorite post on the Cold Boys Kink Meme
#I just love the way it's worded. There's something so beautiful about it. Something freeing. Why shouldn't they indeed.#The odds of this are probably even worse than the standard ''1 out of however-many-songs-on-the-playlist chance'' for various reasons.#But I can't stop thinking about it.#Can't believe this prompt is unfilled btw. especially after witnessing the camp discord during the infamous Garrigan/Harris video call.#The RPF fandom very clearly yearns for. well. the RPF.#also yes that link does lead to the famous Epaulette Shimmying video. of course. god bless. my favorite video in the whole world <3#Starky's Original Posts#ok last time I made a post and deliberately did the responsible thing#and kept my ship tag out of the first five tags so it wouldn't pollute the actual ship tag seen by everyone else#but then to my horror it showed up there anyways#hopefully that doesn't happen again smfh#hodgving#the terror#''so did you finally fuckin--'' NO I'm not allowed to look/listen til Tuesday at the earliest. OCD said so and also at this point I need it#to bait myself into getting through the day. there's too much to do and my will to do literally anything at all#is at just about the lowest it's ever been#I haven't eaten anything besides a few crackers and pretzels for three days.#good good. it isn't even hungry anymore. it doesn't even want to live.#BUT. I WANT GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3 SO WE PERSIST

What I say: I'm fine
What I mean:
It exists a version of TBOSAS where Mizzen had to see Coral die and a version of TBOSAS where Coral had to see Mizzen die
#the d4 duo of the 10th hunger games mean a lot to me#they were just kids and the way they looked out for each other through the game#I don't get when people say movie coral didn't care about Mizzen like she did in the book#like did we watch the same movie??#the way she clearly respected and cared more for him than her other allies#she never gives him shit in the movie like yes we don't get some of their moments in the books#but she clearly cares more about him than the other tributes#and her face when she can't save him#the way his last words in the movie is screaming her name nghhhh#the hunger games#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#thg#mizzen#coral#mizzen tbosas#coral tbosas#my ramblings#district 4

one of my favourite of arthur's traits is that despite having a lot of the prerequisites for becoming one of those grizzly, "i don't care about anyone or at least pretend not to" - dead daughter, dead wife, quite a miserable life overall tbh - he's never characterized as such. arthur is someone who desperatley seeks out connection with people and makes no attempt to hide it. he and john would have never gotten through those first two seasons if arthur wasn't so willing to forgive john for a lot of the admittedly really awful things he said. the only time they've had a falling out that lasted longer than, like, a day, was in the prison pits. once he made up his mind to make amends with daniel he did so almost immediately. he is genuinely such an open person who seems to strive after close relationships. and he puts in the work in. which makes it hit even harder that he hardly ever gets to keep those relationships
#malevolent#arthur lester#john malevolent#like i love john but he has a talent for hitting someone where it really hurts#and he used that talent quite frequently before the prison pits#and this is not to say that arthur isn't volatile or never destroys his relationships#but he is someone who so clearly wants and needs positive interactions with people#it's just refreshing to have a protagonist who doesn't try to hide that beneath layers of put-upon gruffness#idk sometimes it feels like i'm in the minority of not caring for that type of characterization#but i can relate so much to somebody desperately putting themselves out there over and over again#also: i'm back after not posting since spring#can't promise it'll last lol

Lrb dear god, this reminded me of that time when Alfred-chan got sooooo mad at my post explaining why fans should respect bisexual headcanons for Maria and Malenia instead of pretending like they're canonically lesbians and that they get oppressed and erased by mxf ships with them. They kept vagueing that post for like a MONTH in their blog including in tags under reblogs of Maria fanart, passively-aggressively changed their url to character+sexuality to "spite" me and then even made a sockpuppet account to start shit with me in the comments.
They deactivated when me and Val completely obliterated their "you cultivate lesbiphobic following by telling people why they should respect all sexuality headcanons instead of acting cultish or assuming their experiences and stereotypes equal canon confirmation" garbage with actual facts and logic tho but I screenshotted everything fjthfgfj (I learned to document everything the hard way after they've changed the she/they pronouns to they/they pronouns ONLY to accuse me of misgendering, so thank you for making me wiser I guess 😎). Even more vile, as they, a white person, larped as an Arab in that sockpuppet to hold even MORE "privilege" against me in discussion gjtjfh Because for them race, gender or sexuality are just badges of honor and dishonor, they don't see these as traits of actual human beings. And Dr Eugene X, who worked with them and weaponized her race to accuse everyone who disagreed with her of racism, didn't bat an eye at such a terrible act too?? As usual, rules are not for their friends, lol
It is not even the worst thing Alfred did, and yet all of this just, just, JUST because I wrote a point on why bisexual headcanon people did nothing wrong and there is no ground to claim something is canon when it isn't. 🤦♂️ Like, they were soooo convinced that I hated lesbian headcanons and that I'd feel angry if they called Lady Maria a lesbian, when what I was angry at is this exact toxic behavior in the fandom. No matter how much you like a headcanon, don't be a bitch about it. Maria doesn't """belong""" to any gender or sexuality, she belongs to anyone who likes her and is invested in her complexity as a character!!!
Yet, apparently, common Malenia simps / Finlay shippers are no better than common Maria simps / Mariadeline shippers. Just, wild how after shit like this, many people have the guts to claim that it is "sexist redditbros" who are the biggest problem of creators in the fandom. 🤦♂️ They'd actually blush if they encountered what such self-proclaimed "feminists" do to their own (!!!) over headcanons. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
#also fuck anna for thinking shit like this and way worse things alfred did is not as evil and toxic as#as me snapping at her for DEFENDING alfred#wiki: I can excuse stalking harassment cultish shunning bullying fantomette lying slander weaponizing identity but-#-I draw the line at katy getting too emotional when I admit as much uwu#granted she did admit that the reason for this is because alfred didnt concern her personally#she is probably the person I'll forgive last in this situation if ever#as much as I hate alfred they clearly have no empathy and compassion and lie for medical reasons#it isn't my assumptions they often reblogged this shit#I know mental illness is not an excuse for so much harassment for variety of reasons but-#-why would someone want to change if they medically can't feel guilt for their actions?#I feel bad for them and they hopefully will get help#as for Eugene idk... they seem to be a typical brainwashed youth#such people either change with age or get strongly bitten in the ass and get reality check#granted people who still follow her did admit she goes head hunting and then plays victim#as well as they only keep in touch because they worry they'll be dragged down if they are not at her good side#rather than because they like her posts (which are so untrue to BB that she can just make OCs anyways)#choir boy is literally just mindless sheep that didnt even have dignity to make it personal#hence is the name#I am sure he is lovely in his own circle it just doesn't concern me or my friend#but anna?#she knew what she was doing and has no excuse#fandomry rambles#it is also funny how they are four cringe failures and us are four based people#best AND worst groups come in four lol#also I know you all are dying to know how I can still hold grudges year later right?#it is hard to explain#I live normally and recover and not think of it but then scar starts to hurt#like you know how physical scars can react to weather or shit? mental can too

saw a post about Mustard Red that inspired this but one of my favorite aspects of fatt that emerges from their overall collaborative philosphy and their game-switching/multiple games in the same setting is that certain NPCs that are either former PCs or were at one point played by a non-Austin player really carry that with them forever. like, gucci existed before the MB kingdom game, but she’ll forever have the sort of self-conscious brusqueness of a Janine character. likewise, kenneth marion culver is forever shaped by the specific way keith portrayed him in the first r2pal intro he appeared in. i just love how the non-GM players manage to leave their fingerprints all over these weird little guys
#honorable mention to austin trying to find kalar's voice in the last couple partizan episodes#and clearly going 'well i can't actually do his voice because i'm not gonna try to do jack doing kalar'#he would have to do keith doing jack doing kalar#('keith can make any sound and austin can make any sound keith can make' is my favorite deep-cut bit)#fatt#palisade#partizan#it's the fun interaction between good friends

"Is this a mistake?" Obi-Wan asks, fiddling with the ring on Anakin's left hand, spinning it absently as he looks up at his boy.
Anakin for his part, pauses. It's a rare sight, to see him so still. The hand in Obi-Wan's hair slowly picks up it's aborted mission as Anakin seems to gather his thoughts.
It doesn't feel like a mistake; not really. Not when Obi-Wan moves past the doubt that's burrowed it's way into his chest that this man will grow tired of him, the fear that he'll lose someone else he loves and there will be nothing he can do about it.
They're getting married in 72 hours for god sake.
Obi-Wan opens his eyes to look up at Anakin. His fiance. His everything.
Anakin laughs then, and Obi-Wan can only stare at him, trying to figure out what's so funny.
"I don't know," his boy whispers when he's gotten himself under control. He radiates light even in his uncertainty, "but I'll always love you."
Obi-Wan pulls anakin's hand to his lips, kisses his palm just under his engagement ring.
-- -- --
They haven't been fighting, but they haven't been talking either. Their home exists in a perpetual state of purgatory. A war solemnly awaiting a ceasefire. A wishbone about to snap.
Obi-Wan's side of the bed is cold.
Breakfast is on the counter but there's no note, not like there used to be.
Anakin misses lazy kisses good morning.
Anakin misses life not getting in the way.
Anakin wishes they were fighting. He think that would make the slow devolution of his marriage feel like something.
-- -- -- --
"Sometimes loving you feels a little bit like bleeding out. I know it's happening but no amount of pressure can stop it." Anakin says to the ceiling one night, his voice cracking.
He sobs when Obi-Wan pulls him into his chest.
-- -- -- --
"If I could," Obi-Wan swallows. There's a foot between them on the couch. He clutches the blanket he's wrapped around himself closer to his chest before reaching for Anakin's hand.
They've been talking. In retrospect, they should have done this earlier, years ago maybe. Maybe they wouldn't be in this situation if that were the case. The worst part is, he thinks they're still in love. Knows he will love this man until the day he dies, but they're bleeding out.
It doesn't make it easier.
The divorce papers are on the coffee table.
"If I could," he starts again, "I'd leave a five star review. Easiest man in the world to love."
Maybe easiest is the wrong word. But it's so easy to love Anakin, his boyish smiles, his passion, his light.
Anakin wipes at his eyes, clearly fighting tears.
It feels like that's all they've been doing for months.
"I'd leave you four and a half," he whispers, "Best man, can't cook for shit."
"Sounds about right."
He doesn't bother fighting his own tears.
-- -- -- --
The lawyers had reviewed the divorce papers. The judge had signed off. The world had stopped moving.
Anakin didn't know who he was separate from Obi-Wan Kenobi. He's never had to know. He's not looking forward to figuring it out.
Outside the courthouse, Obi-Wan gives him a hug, pulls Anakin to his chest, buries his face in Anakin's hair and holds him there.
Anakin breaks.
Shatters.
"Is this a mistake?" Anakin asks against Obi-Wan's neck, fingers clutched in his suit jacket. It feels like a mistake. Feels like the world has narrowed down to this. To them. To the fact that this is the last time he'll be held by this man.
He feels the ghost of Obi-Wan's lips against the crown of his head, the shake of his hands around his back.
"I don't know," Obi-Wan says, voice barely there, "but just know, I'll love you always"
#obikin#the love is there. it's just not enough. they're meant to be; not ready to last yet#anakin becomes some sort of exec for sith technologies and palps tells him his divorce is the best thing that could have happened to him#and anakin doesn't fight it. just works 70 hours a week to get away from himself. becomes fucking cut throat.#he and obi-wan avoid each other because it hurts to much to be in each other's orbit.#until lets say cody get married and they're both invited and they can't keep their hands off each other#no one gets anakin like obi-wan. no one knows obi-wan like anakin. no one has been good enough#and then they fuck messy and quick in the coat check#and vow it'll never happen again#except it keeps happening. and they don't talk so they're not in love clearly. but it's something. it's enough. it has to be (it isn't.)#they want to be in love though

Kinda insane that Pinterest whose entire thing is being a resource for real artists and a display board for art just allows people to post an absolute barrage of AI generated content without that being against their terms of service somehow
#cause like#ai generated content on twitter ? yeah I'd expect that#ai generated content on facebook? yeah that's literally all there is there these days#but pinterest ? the place where you go to explore photos and pieces of art made by real artists oftentimes to find inspiration for yourself?#absolutely the last place it should be allowed#search up “landscape art” on Pinterest and you will find more clearly procedurally generated shit than not#it's tiring#i can't wait for ai generated imagery to become illegal
