#this is not what I planned

[scoops-aboy86]

Steve as a late night radio DJ, with Robin as his producer (because my partner has made me watch so much Frasier lol). He's got the sexy voice and Eddie, frontman of successful metal band Corroded Coffin, still remembers him from Hawkins and, ugh.

But, well, his manager set up the interview and it would cause more of a stir to no-show than it would to turn up and bicker with some washed up former high school bully. It's a different city, a different decade; maybe King Steve won't even remember him.

So Eddie turns up, and he actually beats Steve there. To the point of the show starting and it's just him in the booth, chatting awkwardly with Robin to fill the air. It gets less awkward the more they talk, idly catching up on old small town bullshit and what it's like to go from isolated baby queers ("I thought I was totally alone!" "Really? You didn't clock the black bandana hanging out of my pocket for five of my six years in high school?" "Sorry old timer, I was still in middle school for part of that." "Oh fuck off, Ms. 'I went to Sarah Lawrence and all I got was this awesome girlfriend.'" "Sorry Eddie, we can't all be super late bloomers like you.") to Actually Successful And Functioning Adults. (She's kind enough not to mention his single but unfortunately well known brush with rehab, other than to congratulate him on his seven year chip.)

And then Steve bursts in, huffing and puffing and diving for the headphones and mic to apologize to both them and the audience for being late. He doesn't even try to offer an excuse until Robin asks, "Uh, Steve? Want to share with us why your arm's in a sling and one of your eyebrows looks like it got flambéd right off your face?"

Which turns into a very put-upon but entertaining retelling of Dustin Henderson ("Oh damn, Henderson! I fell outta touch with him ages ago. How is that little shit?" "Married. He didn't end up converting to Mormonism, but they still have enough kids to make up half a basketball team." "Is that... a lot?" "Six, Munson. They have six kids." "Which is funny, because he made soooo much fun of Steve for wanting that many back in the day." "Yeah. Showed him." "Fuck, my condolences to his wife if they all inherited his big head. You gotta give me his number after this. Or—DUSTIN, if you're listening to your babysitter's show, come to my next concert and there'll be two backstage passes with your name on it! Or, well, that embarrassing nickname your radio girlfriend used to call you, since I think I've blurted out your full government name by now." "That girlfriend is actually his wife now." "No shit?! Wow, I can't believe one of my little lost sheepies has managed to keep the same girl for over a decade. Is she really hotter than Phoebe Cates?" "Oh, she is smokin." "Robin, don't make it weird." "Oh it's okay, she already knows. I told her.") ... A very put-upon but entertaining retelling of Dustin Henderson coming over to discuss plans for Ma Henderson's birthday, and bringing a cherries jubilee that Suzie had made so he could literally demonstrate the flambé presentation ("Listeners, I swear I did not know, when I asked Steve about his flambéd eyebrow, that it was a literal flambé accident. Eddie, can you confirm?" "I can confirm, Robin. We received no heads-up calls or messages from Steve before or during the show. It was serendipitous irony, 100% pure.") but poured waaaaay too much brandy on, and then Steve tripped in his mad dash for the fire extinguisher ("He was no help at all, just stopped dropped and rolled right there in the middle of the damn kitchen." "How are his eyebrows?" "Ugh, I have more of them than he does right now but at least his match. Don't worry everyone, he's fine. No nerds were injured in the course of this improv slapstick comedy routine that is my life. I swear to god, I need a girlfriend or a boyfriend or someone reasonable to hang out with besides all you weirdos." "Aw, you love us." "Yeah Stevie, what would you do without your loving nerd squad?" "Yeah, yeah... But don't try to leave yourself out of this Munson, as far as I'm concerned you're still the king of all nerds. And if you're reconnecting with Dustin, you're stuck with us too.") and had to stop by urgent care on the way to work.

Throughout all of this, Eddie is not twirling a lock of hair around one finger... but only because it's tied haphazardly back to keep it out of his face for the day. Steve is different from the guy he remembers strutting the halls of Hawkins High. Still all freckles and hair and charismatic grin, but he carries himself differently. More solidly built in his mid-thirties than his late teens, with a layer of softness that suits him. Calmer and settled, with the kind of confidence that comes with growing up. And the girlfriend or boyfriend thing? Holy shit. Holy shit. King Steve? Who knew? But, well, it explains why Steve and Robin are so close, Eddie guesses.

The Steve Harrington that Eddie had known back in the day hadn't exactly been the worst of the bullies, but he'd been friends with them, and they had spouted plenty of homophobic shit. And Steve had been looking right at him as he'd said it, like he's aware that Eddie is terminally single and maybe, just maybe, there was a flicker of a question in his eyes.

Eddie has been publicly out for a while now, and the thing is... Steve is definitely his type. So he leans into it a little, testing the waters. And Steve responds to it like a sunflower greeting the sunrise.

By the end of the show Robin is slapping post-its on the glass partition that read "Get his number dingus" and "Get a room" and Don't make that face at me, yes I do know that he can see these too and I don't care, GET IT or I will recruit Dusty-dun to my cause" and "To clarify, the cause is getting you laid. Eddie, take note, he's allergic to latex."

FUCKING HELL I WAS WRITING WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY STORY WAS LITERALLY FUCKING SLOW-BURN SOLANGELO

Another prompt, if you're still taking them:

Adrien and Felix, Trope: Beethoven Was An Alien Spy. Or in this specific case, Jesus Christ was a sentimonster

"You think Jesus could have been a senti?" Adrien asked, half delirious against his back.

"A bit of light blasphemy?" Felix asked, trying to keep his tone cordial and calm as he made his best effort to avoid causing Adrien further pain while getting the lock to a place he could pick it up from.

Adrien coughed and Félix winced at the rattle he could feel in his lungs. "Makes sense. S'how the made us."

"You have a collapsed lung and this is what you are wasting your breath on?" He asked softly.

"Helps me stay awake. You're trying to pick a lock with a broken leg."

"Which I have splinted and can fix once I retrive Duusu. Or Ladybug will."

"You can do that?" Adrien asked. "All Plagg does is demand cheese."

"We're senti, Adrien. As long as I've Duusu, the will and the vision I can...edit our designs."

Adrien pondered that, or had finally passed out. "How'd you find out?"

"That we were senti?" The lock gave with a satisfying click and a release of pressure.

Good.

"No. Editing." Adrien's face was wan and pale, but he was breathing easier. Good. It would be hard enough to get out without carrying Adrien.

"Oh." He paused. "A bad haircut."

Adrien wheezed with laughter.

quickly moving towards a storm

moving forward torn

into pieces over reasons of what these storms are for

i don't understand why everything i adore

takes a different form when i squint my eyes

have you ever done that?

when you squint your eyes

and your eyelashes make it look a little not right

and when just enough light

comes from just the right side

and you find you're not who youre supposed to be?

this is not what you're supposed to see

please, remember me?

i am supposed to be

king of a kingdom

swinging on a swing

something happened to my imagination

the situation is becoming dire

my treehouse is on fire

and for some reason i smell gas on my hands.

this is not what i had planned.

THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD PLANNED.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

6.3.24-6.4.24🎒📚💻 Study

So for this month my goal is to complete the CompTIA A+ certification and the ITIL.

IT APPLICATIONS -D317

My mentor recommended studying D317 first because it focuses on the software portion of the A+ exam and students have found it to be "easier".

IT FOUNDATIONS -D316

This portion of the exam is usually the hardest and focuses on the hardware portion of the exam and boy is it long. I am nervous about this part, but I can do this!

BUSINESS OF IT - APPLICATIONS D336

This is the ITIL exam. TBH I'm not really sure about this exam some people say it's easy others say it's very difficult either way this is the focus for a little later in the month.

I also may try to add another class by the end of the month depending on how difficult these are for me.
