idk like ships are fun and all but when I talk bisexual Steve I am not talking about wanting Steve to date this guy or that guy I am talking about the fact that making Steve bisexual would have been the most incredible way to complete his character arc that's been building since season 1 and I've wanted it since the beginning, idgaf about Jonathan or Billy or Eddie, bisexual Steve should be canon even if he's single all the way through. It makes sense. It's stupid not to do it. He would be the best fucking character to bisexualise. The entirety of season 4 and his issues with dating felt like it was building up to it. I literally can't believe they're not doing it, my brain does not compute, I can't see any other way for his evolution as a character to not lead to a bisexual awakening.

#just like i don't understand why they keep trapping nancy into stupid love triangles #the whole point of her character is gaining independence from her image as little miss perfect #from the expectations of dating this guy or that guy #ending up like her parents #settling down #the whole discussion she had with her mother was incredible #about how girls are told they're just not good or smart enough to do more than marry a guy and have kids #so they start believing it and that's what happened to karen #and nancy wants something different and it's always been about her believing she can have something different #instead we get six little nuggets #that's what they give us #i want to rip my hair out #steve harrington #stranger things

Settling Down

Doctor!Sam Winchester x Doctor!Reader

For @supernatural-jackles’ tell me story bingo 

Square-filled doctor au.

Warnings: Fluff, Angst, Teasing

Summary: Y/N wasn't planning on staying long in Kansas.Just enough to get practical for med school. Fate has other plans when it leads her to the Winchester family clinic.

Inspired by Miranda Lambert's Settling down 

Am I looking for comfort? Am I looking for an escape?

Am I looking for you? Am I looking the other way?

Winchester’s Clinic

"Hey love what are you looking at?" Sam asked as he set down my tea.

"Just thinking about our wedding can't believe it's been 5 years already. Where did the time go?" I replied.

"I don't know but I'm glad you stayed," Sam said.

"Me too, the best decision I ever made," I replied with a smile 

Flashback 6 years …

Last Day of Y/N's residency

I loved this place but I can't stay. It's never been too good for me to get attached. My friendships rarely last. It's only a matter of time before this one burns out too. I throw my stuff in my bag and try to make my escape before the Winchesters see me.

The familiar sound of Sam's footsteps fault me in my tracks.

He spins me around to look at him. That famous puppy dog look with Sam's gorgeous hazel eyes silently begging me to stay.

I shake my head at him. That's when he speaks up.

" Y/N please stay the patients love you. They'll miss you. Hell, I'd miss you. Even Dean would." Sam said. 

I feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest. At the statement, he'd said he'd miss me. This encourages me to close the short distance between us. I reach up and lightly caress his cheek. Sam melts into my touch. I give a feather-light kiss.

Pulling back slightly I speak words barely above a whisper.

“Okay, I'll stay. Sam.” I replied. 

End of flashback 

"Dr. Y/N Winchester stop daydreaming. Our friend Noe is here for her appointment." Dean said.

“Okay, I'm coming. You are so pushy sometimes Dean. Also, don't you mean your mom?” I retorted as I started walking down the hall.

Noe has been married to John for a decade.

"I'll go pick Celandine from Chelsea's. I'm sure she'd love to see another one of her aunts." Sam chimed in as he grabbed his keys.

Sam rushed out of the clinic, desperately trying to escape the situation. Yeah my husband and brother-in-law don't like me saying that. They love Noe to pieces but it's a little awkward to call her mom. When she's around the same age as them.

Exam room 

I look over the charts and the latest results from her test.

Looks like all the strengthening exercises have been helping. I don't see why you won't be back up in a month.

"Thanks Y/N." Noe said.

Noe gets up to leave.

"Stay for a moment. We've got a surprise for you." I said. 

Cel comes running into the room with the biggest smile on her face.

Noe hops off the exam bed and bends down to hug her.

"There's my little starlet I missed you," Noe said.

"I missed you too auntie," Celandine replied.

I just love the bond she has with people. She's just like Sam that way, so warm and welcoming. Cel is the spitting image of him too.

I am so glad I stayed. This family I have I wouldn't trade it for the world.

When I settle down, I know it is going to be intense and all-encompassing and forever.

Cautiously curious about Starfield. As with most Bethesda games I've never been too interested in the main plot, but what I would like to know:

a) Can I get a space mortgage

b) Can I be a space woman's wife

*Altair has retreated back to Coffee's room since Whole's stuff was still in the guest room, at least to his knowledge. After some thought while pacing they decided to summon a few things from home. A bass guitar with a mini amp that was covered in a few graphic stickers and a big ol' blue painted box that contained a sketchbook, leatherworking kit with leather and buttons; a collection of stickers, and a sewing kit. Just a few hobby related personal belongings that could keep him busy in his free time. Though he might not have much it's something for the forced breaks.*

I'm getting used to the idea that we will live in this house for a long time, that my daughter will grow up here. My wife just showed me a couch for our daughter's room, toddler-sized couch, and at first I thought "why in the fuck am I ordering a toddler couch for an infant?"

But she'll be a toddler before I know it and we'll be in this house for it.

Cute little pink couch with strawberry pillows. A very happy couch. I hope she likes it when she's big enough for it 🥰

You know what I love?

The idea of dudes gettin' a li'l chubby when they can finally stop running and fighting and sleeping with one eye open and one hand on their weapon and just...get comfortable. Maybe domesticate a bit. Find some healing with some folks who'll make sure they eat a decent meal and calm the hell down once in a while.

It fulfills me emotionally. And gives me...ideas.

Because somebody's gotta be petting those slightly-softer tummies. Squeezin' and or smackin' those increasingly-jiggly asses. Getting their hands all up on and over and between those generous thighs. Finding those pillowy places where the thigh gap used to be, and givin' 'em a little nibble.

I just like to think it makes them happy.

From what I know about CE, which is the same as everyone else (lol), I don't see him moving away from Boston at all. I think he wants to be based there and wants his future wife and kids to be based there too. I only see him marrying a foreigner or someone not from MA if she's someone who moved to MA and spends most of her time there. Maybe he would compromise for the right woman and visit her home country or home state for a few weeks a year. We never know as we don't know the man.

Yeah, I can imagine him visiting his partner's hometown, mother country once in a while, but at least for now I think he would definitely want to settle down in MA.

Hey so remember how grocery prices suddenly jackknifed during lockdown and never went back down?

Well turns out the companies would have done that shit either way and had been steadily price-fixing for the last decade!

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson just announced more than $40 million in court-ordained Fuck You money from massive swaths of food production companies are to be paid out to households earning at or below 175% of the federal poverty level ($25.5k for 1 person, $34.5k for 2 people households) before Dec 31st of this year. Happy Holidays.

"The bottom line here is that my legal team took on two large corporate price-fixing conspiracies that increased the cost for groceries for Washington families. We've prevailed, and as a result, we are sending checks to over 400,000 Washington households."

Cannot stress enough the extent of the conspiracies he's talking about here. 15 out of the total 19 chicken producers got nailed in this lawsuit. Not the total number of conspirators, mind, just the ones who left enough evidence for the AG to kick their ass in so expedient a manner. Make no mistake, all 19 were in on it. The court case against the rest of them has been delayed until October of next year, though. None of them are making it out unscathed.

Tuna didn't escape antitrust horseshit either, because the CEOs of Starkist, Chicken of the Sea, and Bumblebee Tuna had a fucking group chat where they complained that the price of tuna was "too low" and they agreed to artificially inflate the price.

“What’s so maddening about the conduct of these companies is the reason that they engaged in this price-fixing conspiracy was greed. They wanted to make money."

So anyway the AG who nailed their asses to the wall and continues to do so is running for governor. If you live in Washington, could be worth your vote when primary season rolls around.

Sometimes I think that the only thing wanting to make him thoroughly good, is a wife. But it isn't every woman that would do for him. And the woman who marries him should have high courage. There are moments with him when he is very wild; but he never is cruel and hard.

Planting Season

Seed I would spend hours out among the collection of Arkansas pines that hugged the eastern edge of the property, breathing in their ethereal presence that seemed imbued with a bygone, forbidden magic. Instead of unloading the semi, assembling the dining table and chairs, doing anything to further the idea that you and I were now permanent, stationary creatures trying out that thing called…

The life society expects of you and yearning for change

This: Often times, I still get asked what I’m doing single at my age or that I’m being compared to my counterparts who are already settled down with families. There’s no way for me to answer questions like that anymore because I’ve heard it too many times. If something is being rehashed, I simply won’t answer. It’s not like I haven’t tried in the past, I really have because obviously I do want to spend the rest of my life with someone. It’s just that my life is no longer tied to one place and I haven’t found what I’ve been searching for. I want to truthfully see what else the world has to offer and it has nothing to do with friends or family. For some, it works out, for others, they have better luck and success when they leave their hometown, travel and explore. So whatever my loved ones expect out of me, I hate to disappoint you, but I’ll march to the beat of my own drum and if I settle down, it’ll happen when I’m probably not even searching for it. Also this: When you stay in one place for so long, you crave for change. Like anywhere, the grass isn’t always greener. But sometimes you need to reset and explore greener pastures. Yes maybe my opinion is biast and yes this occurs everywhere but when you realize there’s more cons than pros, you know that you make valid points. Change is encouraged but seek the attainable and know what you are capable of accomplishing. Don’t have unrealistic ambitions- you can end up extremely disappointed in the end.
