labru is like “what if i was really good at reading social situations and i understand the body language and motivations of almost everybody i meet except YOU, because you LOVE MONSTERS and you’ve got no interest in people and i DONT understand you and that TERRIFIES me to the point where i regularly think about k*lling you . but i won’t do it because deep down i’m kinda obsessed with you and i want to know you and i want to know how you see the world so different from me . which is even scarier. let me stand by your side please i can be useful.” and i was meant to what? go on with my life normally after that?

about ur last post, can u give fic recs with rizz god steve harrington? tired of seeing my son portrayed like a loser 🙁

okay boo, here's everything i got for you. im sure there's more out there and im sure there's more in my list but it's just TOO messy.

if you have more leave it down below!

take what you want - steve doesn't know how he feels about eddie and his flirting until he finally flirts back. i included this because the flirting part WAS AWESOMEEEEE.

chlorined kiss, summer skin - another one where the only thing i can remember is steve wears a slutty short and eddie chokes.

happily ever afters or whatever - i can't remember a damn thing. but i do remember steve kissing the back of eddie's hand like a damn fucking prince. they also go LARPing.

dont go wastin your emotions - its been a while since i reread this. but i vividly remember the scene where steve flirts with eddie in front of all the kids. LOVE IT PLS READ IT IF YOU HAVENT.

west coast waltz - steve goes to california with the kids and eddie and steve flirt through the phone.

an exercise in denial - i forgot about this one. my notes said steve was flirting and i dont have time to reread it 😭

the unmapped places - i thought steve was pretty smooth in this. also very gorgeous piece. i cried.

i'm tickled pink - eddie keeps asking for a kiss goodbye/ goodluck kiss. steve finally gives in. *screeching noises from me on the back* (edit: just reread this. its not steve flirting but its pretty cute 😭)

I'm inviting fights I don't want to have, but I absolutely have to say: if you are out here arguing for prescriptivist, rules-oriented English education in 2023, I need you to seriously contemplate the assumptions you're bringing to the table about the nature of English and the goals of education.

Look. I get it. In undergrad, I worked in my college's writing center, and I helped a lot of students with their grammar. When I applied to my grad program in composition & rhetoric, my personal essay was about how teaching sentence diagramming to my tutees empowered them to become better editors of their own writing, and how I felt that kind of "building blocks" grammar instruction was meaningful, necessary, and missing from a lot of people's education. But then I got to grad school and I learned that grammar instruction in general and sentence diagramming in specific has been discredited for OVER A CENTURY. There are MANY studies about this! We've known that the primary function of traditional grammar instruction is to make students hate the English language for, again, OVER A CENTURY. And then we kept doing it! It's literally the one instance of every bad faith critique you've ever heard about public school curricula being objectively correct.

You know why sentence diagramming worked with my tutees at the writing center? Because I was delivering one-on-one, personalized instruction. Most things work when that's your mode of teaching. But when I was teaching classes, even small ones, it quickly became clear to me that focused grammar instruction took time away from more important lessons, and that students overvalued it - that they cared more about whether their essays were correct than whether their essays were good.

And I don't blame them. I'd had those teachers who docked points for misplaced commas and run-on sentences. I knew some of my colleagues were still teaching like that at the time. I'm sure many are still teaching that way to this day.

But that doesn't make it right.

The tricky thing about English education is that there is no objectively correct set of rules to learn or teach (and you don't even have to be a descriptivist to know that this is true - just go refresh yourself on the Oxford comma debate), but there will always be people who believe there is, and who will judge you when you don't adhere to it. Some of them will be your teachers. Many more will hold other positions of power. All of them are collectively creating the rules you are being judged against.

Are those the people you want to align yourself with? Is the system they've built the one you want to uphold, even begrudgingly? Is temporary and conditional access to power worth it?

It's fine to answer yes.

Just make sure you understand what you're saying yes to.

when i got into the life series i only started with two povs and then gained more exponentially with each season, so i never actually watched bdubs and cleo’s pov during third life. i just knew that they teamed, and had a sort of married vibe happening.? anyways. ive been watching cleo for limited life and LOVE her and bdubs’s dynamic so much i was like “hey! i’m bored! now is he time to watch the crastle pov! lets see what the fuss is about!” and. oh my god. bdubs is a FANTASTIC storyteller . my ass was clenching and my stomach was dropping and i couldn’t pull my eyes away the entire time LITERALLY 😭 . they mean the world to me. i’ve gained a new religion. when he was stalking the reds after they killed cleo? cleo keeping him in check? him collecting her stuff… my god……

today I went to an urgent care for a sore throat and got asked about my exercise routine and advised to eat more fruits and veggies. doctors really are incapable of having a normal one when you come in with a double chin, huh
