conversations with alhaitham (cw: a little insecure reader/self indulgent)
"haitham, am i not likeable?"
"...why are you asking?"
"you know me, i can't seem to make any friends."
"what are you talking about? you have lots of friends, you practically know all of the akademiya."
"yeah but, they don't last!"
"everything comes to an end, my love."
"but what about us? what if suddenly your feelings change? i can't handle the future. not everything lasts, and i know this! i-i just don't know what i'll do when i lose you too..."
"... we may not know what the future holds. life is ever-changing and nothing is permanent."
"even us?"
"perhaps.
but i don't like that thought either. in the future, there may be a possibility that we will part. be it by our choice, or our untimely death. but here in the present? i would do everything to prevent that future, because i know, with all my heart, that i want to spend the rest of my life with you.
so please, do not fret about the future and focus on me, on the present. because i am certain that i will love you, more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow."

I saw a video today that said, “It’s very uncomfortable as an adult when your friend starts to date somebody who sucks, and you’re all looking at each other going ‘Guys, if this is the person who makes them happy…I think collectively as a unit we can agree that we would rather see them sad. So what's the plan?’”
And immediately went: modern Steddie AU were Steve dates his high school friend Tommy and everyone is tearing their hair out over how awful he’s being treated.
Ft. the Party, led by Dustin, hounding Eddie “I could get a man in a SECOND, I just CHOOSE not to date” Munson for help
However:
Eddie is mostly thinking the entire thing is a joke (King Steve and Tommy Hagan? Gay? Together?? Nice try Henderson.) until he runs into Robin. She laments that yeah, they’re bi, but more importantly, Tommy is fucking awful and Steve refuses to see it.
2. Eddie, maybe, kind of, still has a crush on Steve ("Stop laughing Gareth, everyone has--had! Had a crush on him!") and the guy was never THAT bad in high school---but Tommy Hagan definitely was and a little revenge would be fun.
and finally;
3. Instead of going with the kids' well intentioned but very misguided “Let’s get Eddie to Steal Steve” plan, Eddie meets up with the Robin/Nancy/Jonathan/Argyle/Chrissy dream team to figure out how to prove to Steve that Tommy is horrible.
Bonus: Robin and Nancy come up with a full proof multi step plan that involves Eddie pissing off Tommy in ways that look completely innocent. The hope is that Steve will see how controlling and unreasonable Tommy is, and break it off.
This hurts no one and just highlights to Steve Tommy's behavior.
Of course, Eddie goes off the rails immediately upon meeting Steve.
Instead of following The Plan, he, with the kids permission and help, gets Tommy to get blow up about THEM.
This is far more successful.
Bonus x2: A large amount of shenanigan's with the kids vs Tommy are involved. As is a scene were Steve breaks down and admits he knows Tommy is terrible, but Tommy puts up with him and Steve "knows how he is."
Eddie goes home, prints out a picture of Tommy and throws cheap ren fair daggers at it for at least three solid hours while he tries to think up ways to prove to Steve Harrington that his parents are wrong, hes very lovable actually.
In fact Eddie would very much like a shot at trying it out, thanks!
(It is also, inevitably, successful.)

Throwing bio facts into people's ask inboxes
Adélie penguins build their nests out of rocks, and will steal rocks from other adélie's nest to build theirs if they can't find good ones.
Penguins were my class' assigned animal in 2nd year of primary school, it was the year I became obsessed with them, thank you for the penguin fact I love it
I was gonna make a joke with the blorbos but remembered wan! already did it once so I looked it up and uh
they made Chuuya a whole 10cm (~4in) shorter here than in his intro page in volume 6, which says he's 160cm, but APPARENTLY the 3rd official guidebook ALSO says he's 150cm and I need someone to clear that up right now

Two tired guys lost in their search...
With help of his friend Elesa and her extensive social network, the lone subway boss gets in contact in the international police. He's slowly running out of options.
Looker sighs. Another person has disappeared without a single trace. All he can do is watch him despair.
