For everyone who's followed my wip weekends, the wip once known as 'steddie dream house' has now been finished. Hope you enjoy!
“If you could build your dream house, what would it look like?” Eddie said, voice muffled from where it was pressed into the cushions of the Munson’s worn (but incredibly comfortable) couch. He had stretched over the whole thing like a lazy cat in a patch of sun; arm dangling off the side, hand loosely gripping the remote, feet resting in Steve’s lap. They had spent the whole afternoon like this, lazily wasting away time in Eddie’s trailer, enjoying each other’s company and doing not much at all.
Steve looked up from the magazine he had been absently flicking through to glance over at Eddie, to find he had stopped aimlessly flicking through channels and landed on some home renovation show. The volume was down low, but Steve could some blonde couple talking to some stocky builder type, discussing the 70’s conversation pit in some house they were looking to renovate.
“Why’d you ask?” Steve replied, putting down his magazine and resting his wrists on Eddie’s ankles, not bothering to keep place in the magazine he had been flicking through. He hadn’t really been paying all that much attention to it. “Finally planning on spending all that Government hush money?”
“Oh you know it, Sunshine,” Eddie said, smiling over at him and bringing his arm up so he could rest his head on his hand. “All that talk about conformity and oppression was all total lies. I love secret agents, shady Government agencies trying to pay me off, and I go to sleep every night dreaming about sucking Reagan’s dick.”
“Well we all know how much you love Reagan.” Steve snorted, slowly rubbing circles with his thumb on the patch of bare skin between Eddie’s sweats and his socked feet. “Seriously though, what bought this on?”
“This show has reruns on all the time. And there’s always a couple, or a family, or someone looking to build their ‘dream home’.” Eddie says softly, gesturing at the screen with the remote still in his hand. He looks over at the TV, and then back at Steve. “And it makes me think about your parent’s posh nightmare of a house. With it’s unused three car garage, big empty living room, and bedrooms with the ugliest plaid wallpaper I’ve ever seen.”
“Hey,” Steve protests, not really meaning it.
“And I just,” Eddie starts up again. “I wonder what your house would look like if you actually got to choose what was in it.”
Steve goes quiet. It wasn’t something he let himself think about with too much effort - his parents house - because his mother would have a conniption if he even suggested changing anything. All the furniture was carefully chosen from the latest collections, taken from catalogues and various interior designers she loved to talk about. There was a painting in the living room that was worth more than his car.
His own room wasn’t even safe. All of his things that his father deemed ‘inappropriate’ or his mother said ‘clashed with the design’ were tucked away in drawers, and boxes under his bed. Carefully hidden in the back of his closet. His father nodded approvingly when Steve displayed all his awards and medals, the baseball he got signed when he went to a Cubs game when he was a kid, a book about basketball he had never read. The ‘appropriate’ things’. His mother would just barge into his room in a whirlwind of perfume and designer clothes, and announce she had bought a lamp or a vase he was to display in his room.
Everything was decided for him. Harrington’s deserved the best, and they wouldn’t stoop for anything less.

Summary:
“So what do you say?” Jester asked. Essek tore his gaze from Caleb’s. “Are we doing this, Mighty Nein?”
“FUCK yeah,” Beau exclaimed from where she sat curled up in a booth with Yasha, two tables away and blatantly eavesdropping. “Let’s fuck up this sea snake!”
Essek smiled with the resignation of a man who had already decided he would follow these people to the ends of Exandria.
“Let us destroy this demigod,” he said. “What better task for the Mighty Nein?”
"I am not a hero in soul and never will be, but I am better than I was before. Or so I tell myself; and for now that is enough."
-Andrew Davidson, The Gargoyle

This took AGES to take not only because I got distracted by crafter levelling and tribal quests (it was very distracting), but because Escher is not a heroic character by any stretch of any imagination. He does good things and isn't a villain, but I couldn't think of any instance in RP where he was.
What is the definition of heroic when you have a literal Warrior of Light saving the entire universe from a nihilistic harpy? Is it the small good deeds to everyone else or is it walking in the Warrior of Light's footsteps of world-scale saving? Escher fits neither; he started using nouliths to cast black magic, he's gone on a few adventures and defeated one bad guy, but that's it. I don't think it's heroic even on a personal scale. This guy is all about proving his point and it shows.
I think these pics represent him the best within PS5 limitations (he cannot look at the camera when casting amplification): Even when he's heroic he's going to look like a damn villain, and everyone will /ponder at him for it.
It is what it is, and I love my pink madlad for it.
...You know what, let's stick with "I got distracted by DoH levelling." Sounds saner.
The rarest face you'll see Bubs make, where there is not a single hint of sass or tired in their face. Not even a neutral stare, just smiling happily...
(Holy artstyle change, Batman! Bubs definitely looks different, and I might either change this or change everything else, either way, this is currently the last sprite I'll be giving them! There'll be more, but that's for some other time)

Summary:
"You should be careful, a man such as myself might get the wrong idea.” Hob said, making no move to disrupt their point of contact.
“No, I think you’re interpreting this right.” The Corinthian’s black glasses shone in the flashing lights of the club hiding twin smiles. He ran his thumb across Hob’s knuckles and felt a little thrill as Hob blushed again, but this time for him.
An immortal and nightmare walk into a bar. They get along better then they probably should.
you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!
unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!
tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.
bonus rules:
you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny
take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)
apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender
