Eddie wasn’t very close with Wayne. Sure, he loved him and he knew on some level that Wayne loved him. But Wayne worked long hours and was away oftentimes while his nephew was around. And Eddie tried to be out of the trailer as often as possible to let his uncle have time to himself. He’d forced the man’s hand in adopting him all those years ago and made his life a hassle since, the least he could do was give him some space.

Wayne never saw it like that though. His nephew, more like a son in his eyes, was his pride and joy. Yes, Eddie got into more trouble than the average kid and yes, he was repeating the senior year for the third time. He listened to loud music far into the night, kept hiding stray kittens in his bedroom until Wayne’s allergies started acting up, and intentionally caused chaos wherever he went. But instead of seeing a failure or a loser, Wayne saw a boy still trying to succeed despite enduring all of his struggles.

That’s why he never faltered in his belief that Eddie didn’t kill those kids. Eddie was a good boy, raised by Wayne himself to be the best person he could be. There was no way in hell that Eddie would ever turn his back on that.

And Wayne would never turn his back on Eddie. So in the early days of Spring Break, Wayne skips out on work and tries to find his nephew before the cops or the angry teens do. He searches the woods, the high school, the quarry, and all of Eddie’s friend’s houses. After the earthquakes, he scours the desecrated lands around what’s left of the trailer park and woods in any effort to find his nephew, his son. He screams into howling fissures in the ground and gets burned by hellfire… but he doesn’t find Eddie.

Wayne manages to keep his hopes high and his tears at bay until the little freshman friend of Eddie’s pulls him aside while he’s putting up flyers. He only breaks when the boy says he watched Eddie go down. But he won’t believe the words until he sees a body and that he does not. Because he’s never given up on Eddie before and he’s not going to start now.

#Eddie appears at the trailer park two days later and hurls himself into Wayne’s arms when he sees him #He sees Wayne cry for the first time that day #Wayne can’t be embarrassed because his boy came back to him like he hoped he would #He never gave up on him before and he never will #The kids are offended that Eddie went to Wayne first #Wayne threatens them with a shotgun until they all back off #stranger things #eddie munson #uncle wayne #wayne munson #pre #steddie #ficlet

gotta show off my latest mech, FRENZIED ALACRITY / CRESTING DAWN, a super speedy pulse blade user i've had a lot of fun making decals for (more screencaps under the cut i couldn't pick one)

look at my gradients boy the warning was gonna say HIGH SPEED ACTUATION but that's a long word to fit on the mech

worked too hard on the mri scan decal for where i wound up putting it.... you really have to look for it

quick balteus s rank to make sure i was happy with the build and the appearance :3 i am definitely still a reverse joint legs stan but i like how zippy you can get on the alba legs

#dibi #armored core #i think the blue gradients were worth it #they're not amazingly visible but they do add something #my usual reverse joint build is called KNIGHT ERRANT / THE LAST WILL #it's a rusty grey and brown medium-light build #mind beta legs alba core melander c3 arms shade eye head #zimmerman shotgun and explosive thrower on the arms #and the 6 shot missile launcher and trueno on the shoulders #i prefer talbot fcs san tai generator and alula boosters personally #san tai is very heavy and slows you down a fair bit but man having 4420 EN is just. it's just comfy

I'm gonna be honest? Against the bots? I'm full break action shotgun against them. It feels so good to use against the bots (compared to the bugs where the 2 shots then reload screws you over in the frequent swarms of high difficulties), and with good aim can take down everything but heavy armor.

I still want it to be a primary weapon, and at that maybe pretty please with a cherry on top, it gets medium armor piercing and 60 shells (+full reload from supply like the punishers get)

#i think medium armor penetrating would make it competitive with the other shotguns #kind of like a limited ammo buckshot alternative to the slugger #it'd also make it good against the bugs if you're using a machine gunner support weapon to clear swarms #sorry im a big fan of the aesthetics of old obselete loading and firing systems in fire arms #break action/lever action/pump action/revolvers and the like just hit aesthetic for me like giant axes and swords do #lemon rambles #helldivers 2

you might think the hardest thing about being plural is the memory loss and dissociation or maybe the general instability or perhaps even the extreme difficulty relating to other people. really the hardest part is that today Maya wanted to write poetry and Sarah wanted to air-drum to The Mountain Goats' Lovecraft in Brooklyn for 3 hours straight and Aio wanted to beat a twink until he stops moving and Sarah wanted to organize our google calendar but we only have one body which also needs to spend lots of time doing things like "eating" and "sleeping" and "exercising"

#in case you're wondering what i did #my arms and wrists are really sore and my tinnitus is acting up #it would be cool if we had even kind of similar desires #plural #actually plural #plurality #plural system #plural stuff #actually a system #system #plural culture #idk i just made this account this is a real shotgun strategy for the tags

[anthurak]

Can we talk about how Yang shoots a dude with her shotgun arm which she is holding like a shotgun with her OTHER arm?

Because for some reason this visual is just goddamn hilarious XD

#rwby #rwby volume 9 #rwby spoilers #Yang Xiao Long #oh and she somehow STILL managed to lose said shotgun arm XD

“LONE SMUGGLER FIGHTS FIVE COPS,” Toronto Globe. March 15, 1921. Page 3. --- Ferryman is Later Arrested, Slightly Wounded, His Dinghy Pierced ---- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) Bridgeburg, March 14 - A sensational battle was fought early today between rum-runners and five Buffalo police on the shores of the Niagara, directly across the river here, at the foot of Brace street, Buffalo. Sixty shots were fired.

A lone smuggler in a rowboat, armed with three revolvers, held off five policemen in the dark. When his last gun jammed he rowed away in the darkness. Four men in autos waiting near the landing place were arrested, but as their Cars were empty there is no evidence against them. 

Later, James Tulley, a ferryman, residing on the Bird Island pier, was arrested. He is believed to be the man with whom the duel was fought. His boat, a dinghy, was spattered with blood, it being apparent that one of the shots had taken effect. He was slightly wounded. There was a hole in the stern of the boat. 

Before Tulley was taken it was necessary to wait until daylight arrived, as he was in his boathouse, armed with a shotgun, and defied the officers to get him. The presence of a woman, peering over his shoulder, as could be seen with a searchlight, prevented. the police from firing into the building. 

Sixty cases of Canadian whiskey. it was learned, were to have been rowed over, but connections were not properly made on this side of the river.

for some reason I'm thinking about a funny iteration of Poker Night at the Inventory with Clairen (Rivals of Aether), Badgerclops (Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart), Peppino Spaghetti (you already know where he's from), and Kani Maki (Sushi Pack) and the dealer is Spamton G. Spamton and now I'm just wondering what conversations they'd have
