Happy turkey day to those that celebrate, I’m thinking about Steve who has absent, borderline neglectful parents but THAT’S ACTUALLY OKAY it’s actually perfect on holidays because Steve’s pretty extroverted and probably has a large group of friends extending from close to “we’re on the same basketball team and Steve will high five your face if you don’t get your hand up fast enough”

so really all he’s gotta do it bat those puppy eyes at some unsuspecting mom and BAM invited to holiday dinner. He probably does rounds, and thankfully he has teenage boy metabolism because he probably manages to fit 7 different moms’ dinner in in one day

And sure, after he graduates he’s not sure if it’s good manners to show up at old teammates’ doorsteps. BUT THEN Mrs. Henderson looks at him mid-November and totally claims him for the day where she’s hosting her brother’s family too. Except Dustin brags to Lucas and Lucas gets jealous so Steve then also has to show up at the Sinclair’s in the evening. Max is already there so Steve drives her home that night with leftovers. (Mike is very secretly butthurt about all of this and is really nasty to Nancy the weeks of thanksgiving and Christmas.)

(Robin’s family doesn’t DO thanksgiving but instead goes camping for the week. Robin hates this, and they wouldn’t let Steve join them even though he had his own tent so she hates it MORE. She tries to mutiny but her mom gives her these sad teary eyes and cries about Robin growing up too fast and robin’s fate is sealed. She and Steve instead have their own tradition of movies and junk food the weekend after, so Robin gets reintroduced real food again. So while Buckley’s aren’t on the thanksgiving rotation, Robin gets special Christmas privileges and Steve stays over on Christmas Eve.)

So by the time Eddie is in the picture, Steve already has standing expectations for his presence that’s not just a drive-by plate cleaning, and he’s kinda sad, he and Wayne don’t usually do much and Wayne has to work usually. But actually how dare he be sad, because Steve’s like “🤨 you’re coming too, stupid” and he Eddie and max go to each house like trick or treaters but for turkey.

Then Steve gets close with Eddie’s friends and they have to start splitting holidays like children of divorce.

One time Steve gets it in his head to hold friends giving the week before. He never does it again.

I need a fanfic where everyday after four am training, Jamie sends a “Roy-cast” to the team chat letting them know Roy’s general mood for the day and what he predicts practice is going to look like for the day.

When Roy takes over as gaffer, he stops the private training with Jamie to avoid accusations of favoritism. Within two weeks the team beg him to start back up again because:

1) him and Jamie are sniping at each other again and while it’s not loan season bad, it’s making everyone anxious and clearly the two of them need that time together to get it out of their system everyday, and more importantly,

2) they need the Roy-cast back because it’s fucking with everyone’s breakfast choices and now Will doesn’t know when to have extra towels ready or to make a larger batch of sport drink.

batman: so by splitting the work between former League members, Young Justice team, and current League members we were able to take down a good portion of the meta child trafficking ring and bring one of the leaders of the operation to justice.

wonder woman: but you lied in order to do that. do you feel bad that you had to lie. to do that.

batman (a vigilante): ,,? not. not really.

Oh, found another Binderary project just sitting pretty in my drafts!

This is a commission I did, a nice Secret Belgian bound Untamed-themed notebook.

The picture on the cover is an inlay, the pages are printed with kanji grid, and there’s a nice pocket on the back cover.

(The commissioner specifically requested that the notebook is still oriented left to right.)

the greek class are outcasts in their society (gay, eccentric, the twins, etc) and desperate for a place to belong, but the tragedy of the secret histpry is that everything is a lie. even if they tried to, even if they wanted to, they just didnt like each other. they didnt love each other. thats why everything fell apart

Stumbled upon a Reddit thread (don't ask) where people still whine and bitch about having to pick the "Nah, fucked that up too," dialogue option at the Oil fields to have a good relationship with Johnny. Saying that it needs to get fixed, calling it 'antagonizing' him, further proving that they don't understand him or his friendship with V at all. Sorry, but what's still not clicking? Holding him accountable for what he did and being honest with him is the only way you can have a good relationship with him for a reason.

It's not scolding him, it's not being mean, it's just V telling him 'No, what you did hurt me and I can't trust you anymore.' And he needs that, he needs someone who won't let him get away with the shit he does, he needs someone who is honest with him and won't just agree with everything he says so that he can grow and change. He knows he royally messed up, but he needs to hear that from V too. How do you expect V to have a true friendship with him if they just let him walk all over them and act like he did nothing wrong and everything's fine?

And it makes sense that the devs chose this as the secret ending unlocker because you can't have them storm Arasaka Tower together in full synergy when some parts of them are still at odds with each other.

Listen, I love Johnny as much as we all do here, but he needs to be called out when he messes up, and that's that.

ppl are saying the SL Winner is associated with the Void (Abt the Sun Star Moon etc symbolism) and ily— gonna expand on that and say he is the sky, the vast, the heaven everyone is trying to get their good (and bad) tasks to reach.

For the first in a Life Series the winner gets to live longer. When the winner ends his season, he ends it with gratitude and optimism for the future as the guy is granted freedom - an open, infinite sky :]

imagine being director Northmoor of the FBC and one day you revel so much in your power that you literally explode. and instead of doing anything else about it, the FBC goes “when life gives a secret paranatural government agency lemons…” and throws your possibly-alive, moving corpse in a power plant so they don’t have to worry about their power bill. then going onwards, people only refer back to you using ominous light-based puns

so *points at mer au eclipse and ruin* these bitches gay, obviously

but im curious as to like. how do they view each other. do they see themselves as human labels of relationships? do they kinda have their own word for each other or is it just "yeah im stuck with this fucker for the rest of my life and while i may act like its a horrible thing i really dont mind and even prefer it bc honestly i doubt we'd be able to survive without each other"

honestly they give an "idc wut its called we're bonded for life" vibe /silly

HJGFGH Oh definitely it's a 'bonded for life' kinda deal, literally as well as metaphorically. As for what to call it, well it's not romantic nor is it platonic - Queer-Platonic is the closest/best term for it and that's generally how i refer to their relationship! It's very much it's own special thing, and it differs greatly from typical human relationships. (Honestly if they were humans it would probably be super unhealthy lmao)

From Eclipse's perspective he doesn't really give any label to what he and Ruin have. At the very beginning it was a sort of mutual roommate situation that developed overtime into them becoming so much more, to the point that - as you correctly said - they would no longer be able to survive without the other.

Presently Eclipse is aware that Ruin is now his counterpart and has fully accepted that (again there's a story behind this happening that i hope to one day share should i ever manage to finish the fic gfjkg) but as far as an actual term goes? Hell if he knows, but he's content either way, even if he does grouch a lot!

For Ruin, it's more simple - to him Eclipse is his mate, his bonded, his partner for life. Now again this differs greatly from human and even your typical animal forms of relationships (especially with the mated for life deal) and it still falls very closely under the qpr catagory. Mers don't actually mate in the sexual sense (genderless beings and all) so for them to bond for life is to quite literally bind/tie their soul to another making them as one almost.

So long story short, it's a queer-platonic partnered for life kinda deal! Neither of them have any actual labels for it, it's just a 'we're attached at the hip and we ain't letting go'. It's truly queer!

@kingcenred Cenred & Penelope.

She knew she would have to eventually see Colin again, but she had hoped she would have more time, perhaps that was why she panicked as soon as she saw him across the room. The minuet he started towards her she took hold of her green skirt and all but ran from the main ballroom and ducked into the closest empty room. Or rather what she thought was an empty room, she turned to lean against the door, catching her breath and when she looked up there was a man there not even a foot in front of her.

"I'm sorry-- I thought this room was empty, I'll just return to the pa. . " She didn't even get a chance to finish her sentence, much less turn around to leave before her mother was in the room, where the hell had she even come from? Penelope recalled her being on the other side of the ballroom when she ran away. But there she was, screeching about how improper it was to be alone in a room with a man and then throwing out the word marriage as a small group of people gathered.

"No mama-- nothing happened, I swear I just entered the room thinking it was empty, I don't even know this man" which was very much true but at this point no one was listening to her at all, a facet in her life. She finally glanced at the man next to her, the guilt for what was happening eating at her, it was one thing to have to marry before the end of the season it was another all together to be forced into a marriage.

“nina- that’s right, isn’t it? my son seems to call you everything but your name.” lynne is curious about the girl her son has home for christmas. she would be with any girlfriend of his, to be fair, but… she’s very obviously a different situation than when he was in high school. and not just because lynne has never met her, though that certainly adds to the situation. “i know you’re not from around here- i can imagine this little town is nothing like europe. how do you like it?” but then as much as the question is loaded with other possible questions… the girl who had left gucci loafers by the door and wore a dress lynne was fairly sure was from this season… is now in her former kitchen wearing her son’s old cotton t-shirt from some skate competition. there’s something endearing about it. even if she knows her son likely notices none of the tells of his girlfriend’s clearly immense wealth. plus well- maybe they’re both fish out of water as lynne sleeps in the guest bedroom of her former home to be close for her son the next few days. “i know ricky probably told you i was… critical of his ex… i hope we can start on our own terms. not based on lily. ricky seems serious about you.” so she’s going to do her best to get on board. even if time will tell.

I ended up keeping two things for myself out of everything I made last year: the samples for Retiarius and Spurdog. The latter I’ve worn out and gotten compliments on, though I’ve only really styled the former and then gave it up. Anyhow, the actual secret to wearing this type of shawl even if you’re usually very masculine and minimalist in terms of personal style is to embody the attitude that you’re about to rob a train. You get all kinds of compliments.
