#and all the verses in between

[livwritesstuff]

Honestly, Eddie doesn’t know why it had taken so long for him to realize his and Steve’s children could understand the shit that came out of his mouth.

(It took an embarrassingly long amount of time).

Even when Moe’s third or fourth word was fuck, he didn’t realize it (and she was using it mostly correctly too, which should have been a serious flag, but nope).

What made him realize it was when they started repeating the shit that came out of his mouth. 

To strangers.

In public.

The first time Eddie had been really caught off guard by something one of his daughters said was when Moe, who was three at the time, had proudly announced to an unsuspecting grocery store cashier, “Daddy says my Papa’s a DILF!”

And, like, Eddie had just heard the term for the first time, and obviously he was goddamn delighted by it because…duh. Steve. 

It just hadn’t occurred to him that his toddler might have caught it too, but little pitchers have big ears, or so the proverb suggests, and Eddie had taken it as a wake-up call that Moe isn’t a baby anymore (tragic as it may be).

He’s not the only problem though – Steve is just as bad, (if not worse, because he really doesn’t bother to check where their kids are before he starts running his mouth).

One particularly damning incident was at a restaurant, which is something they don’t even do all that often because, seriously, going to a restaurant with very young kids should be an Olympic event or something.

(The last time they all went out to eat, Nancy and Robin had made a drinking game out of all the times Steve and Eddie had to take a child to the bathroom and ended up so far gone that Eddie had needed to drive them home).

The incident started with the waitress asking, “Can I get you started with anything to drink?”

And it had ended with four-year-old Moe confidently announcing, “My Papa needs a fucking margarita.”

Thank god, the waitress had been a twenty-something college student and thought it was hilarious, but Steve had still been completely mortified.

#little do they know – once the girls hit elementary school they start recounting all the parent-gossip they overhear #then eddie comes home one day to this conversation between steve and moe: #steve: and if anyone asks where you heard about this? #moe: carpool #steve: excellent #steddie #liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson #i feel like there's been a theme to this week's drabbles lol

i walk into the across the spider verse spider society lobby right as everyone starts trying to kill some teen. i walk past whatever weird chase scene shit is going on. i walk directly into the free gender clinic and talk to the spider physician about starting hrt.

#atsv #cricket.chatterbox #MIGUEL'S FUCKED UP LITTLE CLUB OFFERS FREE THERAPY IT BETTER HAVE FREE HORMONE THERAPY TOO #they're all transgender so it'd make sense. in my humble opinion. #if you were to look at miguel's chart of ''canon events'' in every spiderperson's life there's one that takes place somewhere in between #starting middle school and watching uncle ben die. and it's called the gender crisis. #spider man: across the spider verse #across the spider verse

Listen I'm such a sucker for how silt verses does its credits but this one genuinely made my mouth drop. Something something when the two characters competing for control over the narrative do the credits, each announcing a different chapter in their story

#the silt verses #when roemont is all the way at chapter twenty nine vs faulkner's measly chapter six (his story is just starting vs roemont's exit this ep) #obsessed with the way it continues to intercut between the two throughout the ep #SO good

[vimbry]

jumping off the back of the post about genres of song lyrics, another thing about tmbg's lyrics in particular is that even when they write about pleasant themes, they still manage to frequently do so through a sinister lens:

the experience of having children and looking after them:

a nice little nightlight protecting a child muses on the shortcomings it would have outside its assigned responsibility:

fantasising about getting high in the park with your crush:

#tmbg #AND. I love it. #please feel free to add to this btw. I feel like there's more flansburgh examples but they're dropping out of my head #I've gone on and on about ''sleeping in the flowers'' already. so I won't repeat myself too much in the tags here #but I can also see how it's intended to come across as playful. like. #it's two people in love having a silly exchange between each other #I also like the little interlude from the nightlight's lullaby-of-sorts to the child to describing how it would make a really bad lighthous #''man it's a good thing I'm not one of those. I'm too small. if I did that then people at sea would crash and drown horribly hahaha #anyway good night'' #and actually re: nanobots. it only just occurred to me #I'd gotten 'newborn citizenship of the micronations'' being a verbose way to describe. babies lol #but is the start of verse about the actual birth of a child and getting so distracted by the preparation and stress #that you almost forget oh yeah. I have this kid now :) #and thinking about how even tho your worries around that are now over you'll focus instead on all the future responsibilities you'll have #how does something written in such a detatched way manage to be so sweet

cutely sprinkling romance tropes into this Limoreau fic before these mf’s have the chance to find even ground with each other

Marie needing something else to wear: Guess I’ll just have to cope.

Jordan, begrudgingly handing over their sweatshirt: SIGH.. Here. 🙄

#In every universe they LOVE each other I don’t make the rules #I think they’re genuinely classified as enemies to lovers in this fic vs Rivals to lovers #I planned to only make it like 3 long chapters but I think I’m foiling my own plans atp bc I’m not even finished with chap 2 and there’s #Still so much to flesh out between the two of them while also considering the logistics of the verse they’re in #limoreau #marie x jordan #marie moreau #jordan li #mariejordan #gen v #gen v fanfiction #Jordan definitely is not at all as bothered with Marie wearing their clothes as they thought they’d be

[multifairyus]

Anyway I love Black people and seeing this explosion of creative and cultural expression is healing something in me I think 🥺

Now to make some Black ATSV moots to bounce playlist ideas off of…

#atsv #across the spider verse #black in fandom #miles morales 42 #Hobie brown #margo kess #miles morales #no between these four I can have unlimited black love ships and that’s so— #even with my other big fandom…the main love interests are both white chile #I feel bad I have read much margo fic because my fic interest is basically just /Hobie #Flowerbyte and Prowlerbyte are making POINTS #as is PunkFlower and PunkProwler #even all their ship names are adorable like?? #also? idk how to ask without making ppl feel alienated but uh #what…what about an interdimensional all black friend group 👉🏾👈🏾 #love the spiderband as much as then next person but Margo and Miles 42 is excluded a lot from them #the sibling energy that can exist between them too…basically I’m into everything?? #I just love black people being happy in community and/or in love ok #this is for the niggas strictly for the niggas

"But why did Gwen push Miles away like that if she loves him so much?" You ask as if in the same movie we didn't watch her father, the person she loves more than anything and the person that she thought that loves her more than anything, disown her right away because he learned one thing about her that he didn't like.

#he only asks her how long she's been lying to him he only saw his perspective of the story and didn't care about hers #and wanted to arrest her without even listening to what she has to say #and all the love he had for her was pushed on the side because he learned this thing that he couldn't accept #and when miles tells gwen that he wants to tell his parents she tells him it's a bad idea #her advice was basically suffer in silence #cuz she had to #i take no criticism none of y'all understand what she actually went through #and then jessica was telling her not to grow attached to anyone cuz it's easier that way #honestly it is #but it hurts when you are alone #peter b parker showed us the best that spiderman can't go alone he's happier when he has someone he loves #and it's funny to me that jess was the one saying that while being literally married and pregnant #maybe she saw herself in gwen and didn't want her to end up having to choose between family and work all the time #and yeah her dad learned his lesson after that but that happened only after miles was gone #spider man across the spider verse #gwen stacy #miles morales #gwiles #ghostflower #across the spiderverse #spiderverse

I forgot to post this like a month ago when i actually saw spiderverse, so whoops. (ID under the break)

[image ID: the doofesmirtz nickel meme and it says “if i had a nickel for every time i saw a movie that used the multiverse to explore how the younger generation copes with suffering differently from the previous generation and specifically looks at how that affects POC and people who are othered from those closest to them, while using the complexity of parent-kid relationships to emphasise the otherness and has a character with a motif surrounding black holes and bagels and was also one of the most phenomenal pieces of media i’ve ever witnessed, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.” end image ID]

#spider man: across the spider verse #spider man #spiderverse #i saw a guy on instagram talk about how he resonated a lot with miles in regards to his expierence as a black autistic person #my fellow trans friend and i were also talking about how much the movie respnated with us as trans people #so ‘othered’ is technically referring to queer or ND but really it works for anything #where’s that clip about spiderman inherently being about otherness #miles morales #gwen stacy #everything everywhere all at once #evelyn wang #waymond wang #waymond eeaao #transgender #actually autistic #i could talk abouy the themes of suffering and trauma between generations and how these movies show that forever #it’s so good

When the silt verses characters start talking about beginnings and endings >>>>

#I LOVE that this is a recurring phrase #the silt verses #and how this goes hand in hand with the narrative format #between (for lack of better word) action scenes dispersed with monologues of characters describing whats happening #bc they're all vying to tell their story #the truths the lies all filtered through their own perspectives and beliefs #and something something how these stories can become manipulated #how we see this with faulkner's bit of the verses in s2.1 and now with the promised bride's story #idk where this is going #i just love that this phrase has been a constant since s1

[quotidianish]

God as an artist when you read a good fanfic… the URGE. The primal FLUSH that goes through your head to illustrate the entire thing as a graphic novel and have it turned into a real physical tangible book. You can imagine the formatting and the smell of ink on the pages.I love u fanfic writers

#it’d be my greatest honour to collaborate with one someday #inspired by this really good cabin pressure fanfic called ‘calendar verse’ #also of course by Hank. marabunta.. finders keepers and every shmuck in between… keep cool in a dry place… comfort breeds whimsy #I’ve got them all saved (literally but also metaphorically. they r right next to my heart in a metaphorical locket) #Quotidianish

one day i will find the will to write the headcanon banging in my head about military man simon riley x nun!reader, and their unwitting, if not one-sided, parallels with solomon’s song of songs—

but instead of two lovers writing to each other, it’s just simon’s worship brimming from his yearning heart, all of which are unreturned, and how it overflows, unsteady and turbulent but so deceptively innocent because of his eagerness.

“by night on my bed i sought him whom my soul loveth: i sought him, but i found him not.” — a testament of how simon can never have you.

#sun rambles #always wondered why sos was so… romantically laden #historical and scholarly reading noted how it was bc sos were letters between solomon and one of his wives #‘solomon’ as like some king. dunno if its The solomon #dunno how it got involved with the testaments #this is all based on one of my religious studies courses so im truly not well versed #with these types of dissecting but its so fascinating esp bc it was smthn i was never entertained with a proper answer growing up #nun!reader

Miles Kane - One Man Band Lyrics:

There’s nothing left to say

I’ve thrown it all away

Write lyrics in my sleep

Cause it keeps me together

I gotta earn my keep (edit: ty!)

Because I’m your one man band

Let me sing about the brighter days

A song for you I’ve learnt to play

And I will take the stage

And I’ll beat the drum until the dawn

To keep the darkness from your door

Cause I’m your one man band

There’s some things I can say

But when the music starts to play

I stare up to the moon

And my lonely heart goes boom boom boom

Once again

Because I’m your one man band

Let me sing about the brighter days

A song for you I’ve learnt to play

And I will take the stage

And I’ll bang the drum until the dawn

To keep the darkness from your door

Cause I’m your one man band

Yes I’m your one man band

Hey hey

Hey hey

Hey hey

Hey hey

Tell me you can hear my voice

Screaming out into the void

I’m not just another boy making noise

Cause I’m your one man band

Let me sing about the brighter days

A song for you I’ve learnt to play

And I will take the stage

And I’ll beat the drum until the dawn

To keep the darkness from your door

Cause I’m your one man band

Yes I’m your one man band

Yes I’m your one man band

#miles kane #one man band #🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 #the lyrics are so fucking sad I can’t #he’s always putting us first and trying to make us feel better even when he’s not feeling his best #the juxtaposition between the oh so vulnerable verses talking about his loneliness and hardship #and the choruses trying to stay optimistic for us #like a guardian angel 🥺 #he’s honestly one of the most genuine and warm hearted people in the world he deserves to be happy all the time #we can hear you miles we promise

Pokemon trainer: yeah, I caught Pokemon-God... and then I lost her in my PC boxes

Trainer's friend:

#Pokemon #pokemon scarlet #pokemon violet #pokemon legends #pokemon legends arceus #legit exchange between my friend and I doing raids in pokemon sv #just imagine in universe though #like you literally have God of all Creation chilling in a PC #and you freaking lose them amongst everything else #I'm totally not referring to arceus as she/her because I forgot to edit the image #God is a Woman should apply in poke-verse too and I'm sticking with that

Excerpt from Tradewinds, coming January 31st!

‘I’ll do anything you want,’ Matan heard himself say, even as frustration pinged at him like tiny bees. ‘You have to,’ Udir said, his teeth gleaming briefly. Anger surged and he ground his teeth together. He could manage this, he had to. He had to keep himself intact, had to get enough money for Latif, and he was a merchant – everything was negotiation, barter, trade. ‘What…what would you want from me?’ Matan said, injecting a tremor of fear into his voice. ‘Are you a rapist, too?’ Udir paused, fingers stilled on Matan’s side. ‘You hate us,’ Udir said finally. ‘You don’t even understand. Yes, there are some Unseelie who feed upon…who feed upon rape and sexual violence. For the record, we don’t like a lot of them either.’ ‘So you just feed on extorting sexual violence?’ Another pause, Udir made a faint sound in his throat. Matan held very still when he felt cold metal press against his ribs. The gun. ‘Don’t,’ Matan said.
