Wait hehe.
Modern au where Eddie has a decent following in social media and is known as both a guy who does ttrpg with a few friends and does cool metal covers of different song genres. He's weird, sure, and will also post two minute video monologues but it's done while camera is mildly unfocused on a worm on the wet pavement, or he'll rant about prog rock and then two minutes later go "I'm sorry my statements on Keith Emmerson were inappropriate and I guess" *pauses and looks off camera* "he totally deserves to be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame" like it's a hostage video and someone made him say it because he looks like he's having a terrible time about it.
Anyways he's an internet funny little man and one day he posts a tiktok or what have you labeled "tfw ur bf is sitting in his platonic soulmate's lap instead of yours" and it's just of Steve sitting sideways across Robin's lap on someone's couch chatting and smiling with her before turning to Eddie and giving a little finger wave.
This is of course met with internet hullabaloo because is that Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley? Famous indie music duo who are also starring in a popular new tv series? Social media weirdos? Beloved and popular and bizarre and memeable? Queer icons RobinandSteve? Was Eddie serious? He was dating thee Steve Harrington?
An hour later Robin tags Eddie in a post that is a video obviously taken from slightly under Steve as the angles are a bit weird, and Eddie can be heard saying "oh my god how could I have forgotten you're, like, really famous how'd I do that Steve! Babe, Stop laughing! It was supposed to be a silly relatable post! You're no better Buckley-hey why are you filming this? My mortification isn't funny!!" While the video is just shaking of Steve curling in on himself and Robin trying to focus on Eddie and you can hear them both cackling over Eddie talking. She captions it "tfw ur QPP's bf forgets you two are famous and that most ppl don't know they're dating. Or didn't, at least"

AN UPDATE on me showing my partner Marble Hornets for the first time and their batshit insane takes on the series/characters. We got to 76 last I remember. Here’s everything they’ve said for just the new entries we’ve watched between now and the last post:
- The entry where we see Tim’s body cam POV after him and Jay get attacked by the operator in Rosswood:
- “Slenderman uses his dead body dimension to grow mushrooms
He’s really interested in the conservation of this really rare strain of mushroom, that’s what the dead body dimension is for”
- To Tim: “if shit sucks, hit da bricks”
- After Tim gets in his car and drives the fuck outta dodge: “Oh he’s going on a lovely little road trip, he’s just like me fr”
- “You know marble hornets is just a series of bad decisions made by film majors, which is the original bad decision” (implying that the characters being film majors was the initial fuck up and NOT Alex deciding to kill all his friends on a whim)
- During Tim’s panic attack in the same entry: “You know, panic attack aside, I think I’d really enjoy peeling all the crumblies off that dry wall”
- “Hacking coughing licking iPad crying baby”
- “I do appreciate how his arms and legs are out of the way of the body camera in lieu of his panic attack, thank you for that”
- As Tim is taking his anti hallucination meds: “Don’t over dose. Oh it’s just one, you’re probably fine. Wait why are you taking another one? Not even a bottle of water? It’s why you’re coughing. Don’t take a third one! DO NOT take the whole bottle, that’s how you die! You’re not gonna die of slenderman related causes, you’re just gonna die of stupid!”
- Upon seeing Tim find Hoody’s messages on the walls: “ “Follow meeeee!” It’s like that one snowman in the phineas and ferb holiday special. My brain loves referencing obscure media”
- After Tim passes out trying to break the “he is a liar” wall: “Ok, takin a nap.”
- “You go mentally ill queen!”
- About Alex: “Why does he look like John Darneille????” (Context: they are obsessed with the band The Mountain Goats and because of tism face blindness they are convinced Alex shares a striking resemblance to frontman John Darneille)
- “Slenderman is a HORRIBLE parent!!”
- “Alex is a high school nerd who would get shoved into a locker!” “I would argue Jay is more of a nerd on that regard” “they’re both nerds shoving each other into lockers!”
- “Ok he theoretically knows how to fight, but that doesn’t mean he’s good in practice”
- The entry where Jay and Tim follow Hoody around the abandoned hospital:
- “Hoody’s like if Santa was really sinister”
- “He teleported to the next house to give all the good little boys and girls their evil tapes!”
- Seeing Alex tied up: “oh are we getting kinky?” “Hoody is literally trying to kill him” “hot”
- “You know, if I was in my hometown and slenderman was there, I’d be pretty mentally ill too”
- “How many holes do you think slenderman has?”
And finally (for now until we finish the end of MH):
- “I don’t think slenderman would survive long in federal prison”

Mushy May Day 27: Game Night
Mushy May prompts arranged by @forlorn-crows
Pairing: Cumulus/Aether if you squint
Rating: Teen
Words: 694
It seems like a bad idea, giving a pack of hellbeasts a deck of Cards Against Humanity, but it very quickly becomes the pack’s favorite game to play on a lazy night.
Cumulus grabs a black card, setting her hand of white cards face down. “Step one: blank. Step two: blank. Step three: profit,” she reads, setting down the card and grabbing her beer. She takes a drink as the rest of the pack sorts through their cards, picking two and sliding them over to her.
Swiss looks smug, taking a drink from his own beer as he makes eye contact. Cumulus raises her brow at him, collecting his cards but not flipping them over yet.
Mountain sighs as he pulls two cards, replacing them from the deck on the center of the table. He leans back in his chair, sorting his cards carefully.
Cirrus hands her cards over, reaching for Sunny’s popcorn. Sunny hands in her cards next, tilting the bowl over so Cirrus has an easier time getting a handful.
Dew slides his cards over, and Cumulus catches them before they slide off the table.
Rain just hands her the two cards, seeing as he’s sitting right next to her.
Aether’s still thinking. Cumulus raps her nails across the table one by one. She doesn’t mean to be pushy, but they’re still waiting. After a long moment, Aether grabs two and pushes them to the pile.
Cumulus clears her throat, grabbing a pair of cards at random, reading them out loud dramatically. “Step one: Full frontal nudity. Step two: Poor life choices. Step three: profit.”
There’s some laughter from the pack, and Rain takes a drink, not making eye contact with anyone in particular.
She sets the cards down, grabbing another set. “Step one: Bubble butt bottom boys. Step two: Dick fingers. Step three: profit.”
Dew cackles, and Swiss can’t keep a straight face, his fangs flashing in the lamplight. Cumulus rolls her eyes at them, smiling fondly. She grabs another set.
“Step one: your weird brother. Step two: Nasty shit. Like real sick stuff. Step three: Profit.”
Sunny snorts, and Cirrus looks busy resorting her cards for the fifth time in ten minutes.
“Step one: Drinking gasoline just to see what it tastes like. Step two: Licking things to claim them. Step three: Profit.”
Rain snorts, smacking Dew on the shoulder playfully. “Yeah, those are yours.”
“I won’t confirm or deny anything,” Dew claims, but he looks too smug to deny it.
Cumulus clears her throat before grabbing the next set of white cards. “Step one: Mental illness. Step two: However much weed twenty dollars can buy. Step three: profit.”
Sunny beams as the rest of the pack laughs.
The next set of cards: “Step one: A fuck-ton of almonds. Step two: Trevor, the world’s greatest boyfriend. Step three: profit.”
Swiss turns to Mountain with a questioning look on his face.
“I had a bad hand, okay?” he sighs, taking a long drink.
Cumulus grabs the last set of white cards, and flips them over. “Step one: Doing a somersault and barfing. Ste-ep two,” the laughter breaks through her voice as she reads ahead. She tries to collect herself. “Step two: ejaculating at the apex of a cartwheel.”
She bursts into laughter, bright and bell-like. Aether grins, leaning back with his arms crossed as the pack starts laughing as well. But as the pack’s laughter peters out after a few moments, Cumulus is still laughing.
“It’s not that funny, Cue” Dew says.
“Ye-ah it is,” she giggles, clutching her stomach as she turns away from the table. “It’s a whole routine, it’s so vivid.”
Her face is flushed, and her eyes are shiny with tears. She can’t stop laughing. Every time she manages to take a breath, the image of the world’s most fucked up gymnastics routine plays in her mind’s eye, and she breaks down into laughter again, the tears spilling down her cheeks. “You’re gonna make me fucking puke, Aeth.”
“I think we all know who won,” Rain says, reaching over and taking the black card from in front of Cumulus, setting it down on Aether’s ever growing pile.
