Will screamed as he toppled to the ground, tripping on a tree root.

“Barb!”

Barbra turned her head, still running to see Will trying to get himself back up. She winced, swiftly turning so she could try and help Will up. “Will!”

As she ran up to him, she saw the tears running down his face, his lip now busted from the fall. She quickly grabbed Will’s arms and yanked him up, taken over by adrenaline. And then she heard it.

From the corner of her eye, she saw the tall, faceless figure, running after them from the forest. Barb started to scream as she made sure Will was able to run.

Will’s vision was hazy. All he could taste was blood. But Barb’s screams brought him back to reality, as he ran towards an empty house at the end of the street. He didn’t dare look back. He just kept running.

But he still heard those pounding footsteps.

As they reached the house, Barb had seen they had gained some distance from the Demogorgon, but not by much. The door to the house was locked as she desperately tried to get it open. “God fucking damn it!”

“Is it locked?” Will looked at her nervously, keeping an eye on the Demogorgon. A tear ran down his face.

Barb stopped trying the door knob and turned around. “Will,” she said, trying to remain calm. “You need to run. We need to split up. Otherwise it’s just going to keep finding us.”

The monster got closer.

“But Barb,” Will was trembling with fear. “I don’t—”

“Will,” she said firmly, raising her voice to a yell. “You need to go.”

She saw the faceless creature run up the driveway.

“Run!”

Will, not needing to be told again, bolted. He wiped tears as he heard Barb run in the opposite direction, the rifle clattering against his back.

The Demogorgon had chosen Barb. Will watched in terror as it approached her slowly, knowing it had backed her into a corner. Will swung the rifle around, fiddling with it just as he had before, trying to aim for the monster, but he knew it was too late. There was no getting out for her.

And like that, she was gone. A lifeless body, being torn to shreds just like she was some meat. Will did his best to hold back a scream, watching the only other person he knew to rely on die in front of him. This wasn’t hide-and-go-seek. This wasn’t some awful dream. His one ally was dead, being eaten in front of him.

“You knew Nancy?” Barb asked, laughing slightly. Though she was scared shitless, she found comfort in the fact that she had found another, living human.

“Yeah I mean, she’s Mike’s big sister. Not like we ever, y’know, talked,” Will stared off.

“Mike? Mike Wheeler?”

“Yeah,” Will looked at Barb as she smiled at him. “Did you know him?”

“I knew he was a little shit,” said Barb. “But that he was sweet. But Nancy rarely talked about that part.”

Will smiled for the first time since he had been taken. “He’s my best friend, y’know. We play DND all the time, and have sleepovers, he always has my back. We met in kindergarten.”

Barb nodded. “I didn’t get to know Nancy very well until the beginning of high school,” she sighed. “But she is my favorite person in the world. Kind of like how you describe… is Mike, uhm… your favorite person in the world, too?”

“Like a crush?” Will asked, turning red. “Nancy is your crush?”

Barb stammered. “No, I mean, well, it’s complicated…”

“My dad used to tell me that was bad,” Will looked off. “For boys to like boys and girls to like girls. But I don’t think it’s bad.”

Barb smiled at his candor. “You have the right idea, little guy. I wish everyone was like you.”

Silence fell between them.

“I don’t know if he’s my crush,” Will said, almost at a whisper, “but he’s my favorite person in the world, too.”

Barb looked lovingly at Will, almost a motherly instinct coming over her. She hugged Will from the side. “And no matter what happens—we’re gonna get out of here, okay? And we’re gonna see our favorite people in the world. I promise you. Okay?”

Will dropped the rifle, letting it swing back onto his back, and ran.

Look, just because I have to wait doesn't mean I can share my ideas that won't be written for a while because my schedule is a dick yes?

I maybe only have 500 words written so far haha

Warning for a/b/o

Idk the specifics yet but, Alys Rivers being adopted by Rhaenyra since she was a Strong Beta bastard. Alys grew up with Jace (Alpha) and Lucerys (Omega)

Of course, in true fashion this is Lucemond because this ship has me in a chokehold so, Alys knows lil Luke has a crush on Aemond (Alpha).

Maybe here, Alys and Aemond has a close friendship so she feels protective over Aemond and also has feelings for him. So she goes after Aemond first despite her being a Beta.

Aemond does choose Alys for the time being simply because his mother urges him to so Lucerys who is 15 leaves to learn more about Driftmark and goes over seas. (And to deal with his heartbreak alone)

Now 3 years later, Lucerys is back, grown, stronger than before and still as beautiful as the day he left maybe even more so, and now at the age of 18. Which means he needs to marry and has plenty of suitors who are asking for his hand.

At Lucerys welcome home feast, Aemond pulls Luke into a dance to get away from the family and they start speaking in High Valyrian with Aemond starting the conversation himself.

Aemond tells Lucerys to choose him despite the fact that Alys is with him (they are not mated) and that if Lucerys is to ask for him in public, Aemond would accept.

Lucerys only glares, thinking it was all a heat for everyone knows if an Omega declares for an Alpha in public, then was rejected, that Omega would forever be shamed.

No Alpha would want the Omega that was rejected for there must be something wrong with the Omega.

Luke couldn't care less about the fact that if he were to do this, Alys would be shamed. He didn't hold any love for her, and clearly Aemond didn't either.

Within a few weeks and lots of convincing on Aemond's part, Lucerys declares to have Aemond as his mate and the alpha accepts publicly.

Alys is furious, the family shocked as they never expected this to happen and Lord Corlys only raises a brow and doesn't kick up a fuss.

He saw how upset the young omega was when they first departed, he only wants to see Lucerys happy.

Hello here is this

Basically set during Tokyolk- I’d imagine it’d obviously be terrifying for Gyro: abandoned by his mentor, not knowing what to do or where to go and not even knowing fully how or what or why this happened

This kinda sucks ngl 😭😭 but it’s ok I tried ig 👍👍/lh

(With extra overlay + close up of the lil guy </3):

[xcometstarx]

i have this headcanon for my au for GOBB(human au)

Where, Flumbo and Banban are related (either twins, or Flumbo is his older brother and Banban is his younger, probably twins though)

And they basically adopted Bittergiggle as their little brother.

Also: Queen Bouncelia,when she first found Bittergiggle alone, adopted him as her son because their interactions would be adorable I think.

[noxiatoxia]

haruhi: why are you wearing three tank tops hikaru: one's a binder haruhi: a binder? wait-- you're actually a girl? hikaru: no i'm not "actually a girl"! Jeez, you of all people should be able to understand this stuff. haruhi: oh, right. Sorry.

haruhi: kaoru, that shirt under your jacket looks a lot like Hikaru's. kaoru: yeah it's a binder. same brand. haruhi: oh. so you're also...? kaoru: no i was born a guy. i just like the compression feeling. haruhi: oh. i think i knew someone in school who was like that. i think he was autistic. kaoru: yeah i'm autistic.

[immxrtalbi]

Idk if I’m tired or just thinking hard but I gotta say this before I forget. I see everyone interacting with each other and are super friendly and have lots of mutuals. I wish I can do that, really, truly. There’s nice ppl and they rec each other and praise one another. I do that secretly. That’s like badass. Kudos to y’all. But honestly I can’t do it, and I made peace with it. I’m in my own bubble. Can’t leave it but if you swing by I’ll say hello lol. Anyway, what I’m saying is it sucks that I’m like this. I’m less on twitter for some reason but then again it’s less overwhelming for now. Just know that I appreciate everything and am grateful for any review, reply, and anything else :)

i've been having a lot of thoughts about old retired steve who lives in new york because that's where a few of the kids ended up and he wanted to be close to them. old retired steve who gets up each morning and gets his latte from his favorite coffee shop where the baristas all know him by name. he walks to his favorite bench in central park and sits there for an hour each morning, sometimes reading a book, sometimes just people watching.

old retired steve who is joined one day by a younger man who says he's compiling people's love stories, and would love to hear steve's. steve, who in his old age has thrown caution to the wind, tells this young man about eddie.

eddie, the only person steve has ever truly loved. eddie, who died in his arms. he's vague about it, still mindful of the NDAs he's still signing every 10 years, but he spills out all the words and he's not even sure if he's told robin everything he's telling this stranger on a tuesday morning, sitting on a bench in central park.

steve pulls out his wallet and presents the stranger with a polaroid, cracked with age but still cherished, a grinning eddie munson pictured clearly. there are tears in steve's eyes as he talks about eddie, about the short time they knew each other. steve would have counted himself lucky if he only had three minutes with eddie.

steve doesn't make it out to be a sob story. there's been enough grief to last his lifetime and more. he tells the stranger about his and eddie's love, then continues. tells the stranger that he's still surrounded with love, from his mismatched family, full of brothers and sisters and not-so-little kids who call him uncle steve. he finds love every morning from the barista who makes his coffee, from his neighbors dog. he finds love in his dreams where he's 19 again, with eddie by his side.

it's a few weeks later when dustin's daughter shows him the humans of new york instagram page, where steve is pictured, smiling, glancing down at an old polaroid.

Not sure If I already reblogged this once, but I have this exact topic on the brain and I was trying to find a specific post but found this instead and I wanted to add what I have been thinking about.

Also this great post by @vegasandhishedgehog

In specific regarding this part of OP's Post:

it's almost like the show was leading us to ignore or explain them away, just like many of the characters do before they're forced to confront homophobia in episode 12.

Here me out. This show was intented to be popular among younger viewers and it was (post by @kongthapatom)

I think what this show was doing was playing with the use of the bubble. Like OP outlined above all of the little details the show was putting there from the start were explained away, and you the viewer were intentionally led away from it.

Much like Tinn's Mom leading concern is what if this hurts my kid, a lot of parents and adults think that shielding kids away from the bad things will keep them safe.

But it doesn't. Even while unspoken, the tension is there from the start. Like OP said, Tinn can't speak about his crush with his parents (for more then just his crush is guy, but it is a factor), He has reasons to worried about what having a crush on a guy means (Asking "are you ok with that" like OP says).

I will also add (and this could me not remembering the show right so correct me if I am wrong) the music video being a bl is also explained in universe as a way to stand from the crowd and bls are really popular nowdays, almost like a justification. This could be a mini commentary how queer people are drawn to queer media and also on the commoddification of bls (which is both a good thing = more queer media and a bad thing = companies are making money off queer people).

When the bubble does pop and homophobia is introduced in this show it is after the biggest foreshadowing the show does with the movie. With the thing they are shooting and Tiw and Gun conversation about how we have to wait for dinosaur to die.

And it also feels like all of this works in universe. As much the adults wanted Tinn and Gun and the others to stay safe and in the bubble the world doesn't work like that. The characters bubble bursts at the same time as it does for the audience. Allowing the audience to experience homophobia in a safe fictional enviroment, much like you would do with horror and other traumatic things in media.

And then the show says it's wrong, the teacher gets kicked out, Tinn and Gun don't break up because it's better that way, Tinn Mom comes to Tinn rescue and she reaffirms her love for him and stands by him.

The bubble bursts but it's not at all like falling into nothing but it's like flying gently down onto a pillow.

It is 100% intentional.

I have been thinking about this because of three recent shows that were in what I would like to call an almost bubble.

These two posts by @bengiyo (x) and @twig-tea (x) go a bit on more in depth into the problem with what I am calling almost bubble specifically after the latest entry My Love Mix Up Th episode.

The shows I mean are these:

We Are The Series - In the bubble but hints at deeper things and motivations and intentionally never breaks the escapism by not going there (Side Note: this one is the most intentional of the bunch, in the sense that it conciously decided to avoid bursting the bubble to keep up the escapism and it's why it worked for some people)

23.5 - In the bubble but, has one character have internilized homophbia and then basically ends up telling that she shouldn't have worried about it.

My Love Mix Th - Which is doing something similar to 23.5 according to what I saw on the dash (full disclosure not watching this one)

---

In Conclusion My School President was intentionally giving the illusion of a bubble show to create a safe place for the audience to expirience real life homophobia and issues (teacher being homophobic, can't kiss in public for fear of outing, your friends are safe but you don't know what the rest of the school will do etc..) and then make it better. It was creating a bubble just to gently bursting it on purpose.

Which is what these other shows either weren't interest in doing or just didn't know how to do (I'm not sure what to call the 23.5 and MLMU TH ones: mistakes, intentional cruelty? Were they saying something? I rather just call them mistakes for now).

rewatching my school president with the knowledge that homophobia does in fact exist within the universe of the series is such a crazy experience because it adds an extra layer of meaning and interpretation to so many lines and moments that we often either overlooked or explained away during the first watch-through.

first off: the music club's rule about not having lovers as a kind-of-sort-of metaphor for society not being accepting of LGBTQ+ couples (i.e., main obstacle in tinn and gun's relationship)

the fact that tiwson knows about tinn's massive crush on gun before the beginning of the series (meaning tinn trusted tiw enough to tell him)

gun's stunned silence when tinn admits he's hitting on him during the pool scene and the kind of scared look on gun's face when he gets flustered after looking into tinn's eyes in episode 3

tinn pointedly asking gun "are you okay with that?" after he indirectly confesses his feelings by the pool in episode 5/6

gun saying "you can't control something like this, can you?" after tinn's previously mentioned confession of feelings at the beginning of episode 6

gun's anxiety about what it means to accept that tinn likes him and he likes tinn back (e.g., "has it ever occurred to you that there are things you want to ask, but you're too afraid to?")

the look of trepidation on sound's face after filming the medal kiss scene with win in episode 6 and realizing he has Feelings

everyone in chinzhilla being on board with filming a bl version of the 'just being friendly' music video (because they're all gay or allies lmao)

tinn interpreting gun's mention of the dating rule after his implied love confession as rejection + gun clarifying that "it doesn't mean he feels bad about it" in episode 6 (music club dating ban as a metaphor for homophobia again)

tinn and gun having to hide the fact that they are seeing each other while at the aquarium with yo and nook, who can openly date (ostensibly because of the music club dating ban, which oddly enough doesn't prevent yo from pursuing nook - there's that music club dating ban metaphor again)

gun repeatedly voicing his concern that it would be easier for tinn if he decided to hit on someone else (e.g., a girl)

tinn's out-of-control gay fantasies as a possible coping mechanism for the fact that he can't be open about his feelings with his family or anyone at school (besides tiw and gun)

yak telling sound he has to accept "what he's really into" in order to write a good love song (and sound clearly glancing at win afterwards)

gun telling tinn "be patient. when i win hot wave, everything will get better. at least with our friends" when they hide from tinn's mom outside of tinn's house at the beginning of episode 10 (music club dating ban metaphor again + hints at concern that tinn's mom may not accept their relationship)

tinn feeling comfortable enough with gun's mom to tell her about his crush on gun while keeping it a secret from his own mom

tinn's mom not knowing tinn could sing as an allusion for how she doesn't know about other aspects of tinn's true self (i.e., his sexuality) either

gun telling tinn that after hot wave, "whatever shitty rules there are" can't stop them (foreshadowing the hostile reaction they get to their relationship in episode 12)

there's probably more but these are the ones i can think of off the top of my head. many of these comments/moments could make sense in the context of a universe without homophobia (i.e., due to general shyness/anxiety about relationships, the music club's dating ban, etc.), but it's neat to interpret them through the lens of heteronormativity/homophobia too.

it's interesting to me that we as a fandom didn't really pick up on the fact that there was homophobia in the universe of the series as it was airing despite all these "signs." it's almost like the show was leading us to ignore or explain them away, just like many of the characters do before they're forced to confront homophobia in episode 12.

beach episode?

[lovetreats]

bakugou katsuki—full time pro-hero, with a side of being an asmr youtuber.

no one would ever guess that japan's number 2 pro-hero was also a pretty well-known asmr youtuber. his videos are so calming and peaceful, not even you would guess that he's the one making those videos. of course, he doesn't make it easy for viewers to find out about his identity.

he doesn't talk in his videos, he only shows (some of) his neck and below, and he wears long sleeves, sometimes even gloves to hide his scars.

he does cooking vids a lot. like, a lot.

viewers would, usually, be intrigued by this very built and very mysterious person, and would ultimately stay for the amazing and tingly sounds.

(they also stayed for his sexiness—)
