( dear casey, i was going to send a single fucking sentence but it got waaaay outta hand. enjoy. )
can you imagine lovesick! stevie full on acting like his best friend’s boyfriend; def believes they’re soulmates. she’s in love with him too, but being in her early twenties and never having had any romantic validation has made it so her mind doesn’t even entertain the possibility of him feeling the same, so she settles for making her best friend happy 🥺🥺 because her stevie deserves to be happy 🥺🥺
she always praises him, gives him her favorite ring that he wears it on his left ring finger, makes him a pretty pressed flower necklace with his birth flower on it, she gives him pretty rocks!!! and anything else she finds that remind her of her stevie!!!, she’s very shy and subby subby only with steve though so she blushes every time he so much as looks at her :( defends him if anyone makes fun of him or insults him, remembers every little thing he tells her, loves hugging him and kissing his cheeks, is always clinging to him— she’s so fucking cute with him it’s sickening, really :(
and steve? steve calls her “his girl” and “angel”, he writes poems about her, he holds her hand, has her sit on his lap always!!!, he showers her in gifts and takes her on “friend” dates that he secretly considers real dates, pet names all the time!!!, kisses her cheeks and forehead and jaw and hands and arms and head and nose, he’s a cuddle bug with her, 100% touch starved when it comes to his sweet girl, loves taking polaroids with her, has one he took of her wearing his yellow sweater and sleeping with her head on his lap on his wallet and lots all over his room, even one in his car. he makes her mixtapes!!!!!!!!!! sleepovers often and they always wake up cuddling each other :( he spoils her rotten :( she’s his whole world :( he doesn’t give a fuck if everyone can tell how head over heels he is :( since he met her he hasn’t so much as looked at anyone else unless it’s platonic with a capital p :(
steve doesn’t try to hide his feelings :( at all :( he knows she’s self-conscious and doesn’t believe he could like love her, so he flirts and teases and is soft and affectionate because he wants to worship her and show her how good he can be for her :( and that she deserves all the love in the world :( deserves to be worshipped 😫😫😫 he loves her so much but won’t make the first move because his sweet baby is entirely inexperienced so her wants her to be so sure of her feelings that she makes the first move
he makes this known to her tho !!! slowly he confesses more and more of his feelings for her :( doesn’t want to scare her away, but also wants her to know he’s hers :( she laughs off his flirting often tho always always always blushes and gets flustered but one day when she jokingly says something along the lines of “you can’t live without me” and steve goes all soft and earnest and smiles at her and says “true. i can’t. would never want to.” and it leads to steve telling her he thinks she’s his soulmate and she almost cries :(((((
fast forward a few weeks later— they’re still the best of friends, obsessed with each other really, glued to the other and so so so affectionate but oh so codependent they don’t mind tho and maybe someone pokes fun at steve’s angel for never having had a boyfriend and she doesn’t care to be honest! truly, she doesn’t! …or at least she didn’t use to…?
…being in a relationship was never something she considered pursuing because she has very high standards, shes neurodivergent so she doesn’t think anyone would want to deal with that, she’s demisexual/demiromantic aka only develops sexual or romantic feelings if a previous emotional connection is made steve!!!!!! and only ever had very fleeting, passing crushes that didn’t mean much so she never cared that out of everyone she knew she was the only one that hasn’t been kissed, but now? now that she’s so overwhelmingly in love with her best friend? now the jokes and teasing got to her :( because she wants him to be her boyfriend so badly :( so when she gets made fun of steve can tell it hurt so he steps up and defends her, maybe the person throws a “so you’d date her?” expecting steve to back out and steve goes “i should be so lucky” or something and grabs his girl’s hand and walks away with her :((((
so then steve notices while they walk through a park to calm down that his baby is crying she’s a crybaby and hates confrontation so he goes full caretaker mode and cuddles her close and starts reassuring her and full on confesses to her that he meant it and he’d be honored to be her boyfriend and anyone with a brain would be too :( and she gets overwhelmed and doesn’t know what to do and she wants him so badly but she’s so afraid of these new feelings and steve knows! of course her stevie knows! so he kisses her cheeks and tells her he just needed her to know and he’d always be her best friend no matter what so they move on from that convo so she can fully calm down :(
okay, so a couple weeks go by and steve has been very obviously giving her hints that he has feelings for her more so than usual; he wants to show her how much and how well he can love her if she’d just give him a chance, and that he’s willing to wait for her 🤯🤯🤯 and she slowly warms up to it, to the idea of really having him, of being his, and one day steve is being his usual funny, playful, flirty, loving dork that he is and he does or says something overly sweet to her but that he clearly means and she… just… kisses him :(
and steve is stunned because he truly didn’t expect it and he was so intent on showering her with love that he didn’t make a big deal out of waiting and he had been forcing himself to not think too much about when or where or how they’d go from friends to lovers if they even would at all but her lips as so soft and she’s so shy and oh my god it’s happening and he’s melting into her but she’s still unsure of herself so she pulls back way too quickly for his liking and apologizes and says she was planning on asking for his consent first before kissing him but she is so gone for him that it just happened and hhhhhhhhhh 😵💫😵💫😵💫 and steve decides that pressing his lips to hers is his favorite way to shut her up 😵💫🤯🤤😫😭
and as soon as he pulls back she asks “do you wanna be my boyfriend” in the sweetest, softest, most endearing voice he’s ever heard and he goes “so fucking badly” so his baby asks “then will you please?” and he says yes before kissing her again 😭😭😭
HARMONIA !! this was a gift. A GIFT. i am so soft for this man and the way you write him.
Generation Loss is a comedic tragedy in every sense of the word. Every character we see exemplifies this fact, but no one other than The Austin Show proves its truth.
We begin at the carousel. Austin, Gay, takes his turn by pleading for himself to live because he has a wife and children back home. The rest of the cast interrogates him about his “wife and kids,” clearly suspicious of his truthfulness without even knowing his dubbed “title.” Everyone in the room treats Austin like a joke.
In turn, so do we.
Next, we reach the closet and shortly after the failed drag show, Austin remarks, “Look, I uh… I didn’t expect to die here.” It’s a moment of pure honesty, whether we like it or not. It happens again when the Puzzler tries to party with them, and Austin has to angrily remind him that they are his captives and are actively trying to kill them.
Austin: “What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? We're trying to get out of here. I have children and wives— wife. One wife! What is this some sort of game? I’ve been stuck in hear for hours it seems. We’re trying to get out. Why is nobody else freaking out? We’ve got C4 strapped to our neck…”
It isn’t until Ethan’s death, his blood pooling out from underneath the door, Austin screaming at the others, begging them to have a reaction, to care about their circumstances, to care about death, that we finally understand Austin’s role in Generation Loss.
After all, in every great comedy, someone always has to play the straight man.
always happy about the fact that in 2012, mikey often asked donnie questions if he didn't understand something and donnie always answered no matter what
this can be seen in a bunch of episodes but my favorite example of it it's the one in half shell heroes where mikey is extremely excited to be in the museums and is the one actively asking donnie questions about the exhibits they saw and also actively listening to donnie's explanation (before raph got silly lmao). he was very excited to learn!!!
And while it's true that mikey would lose interest quite fast if the explanation got too lengthy with too many technical terms, it doesn't change the fact that he does retain the info donnie is always rambling on about different things!!! (even if mikey himself doesn't notice he's doing it lol) and also i find it very sweet that no matter if donnie himself got annoyed, donnie would always answer the questions. no matter what. he would always try to explain if he didn't understand something
This is prob because mikey is the one brother who is often seeking out donnie to pass time around him Meaning that donnie might have used mikey as his rubber ducky whenever mikey hangs out with him while he's working (explained him a lot of his experiments and theories while trying to solve them himself and in this way mikey also learnt in the process WHILE spending time with his brother! win win!)
it also helps donnie because accompanies him while not letting him get lonely in his lab 24/7, sometimes explaining things to someone makes it better to understand it yourself AND it's shown in the comics that donnie is quite used to his brothers just Living as background noise and literally cannot function without it lmao
They are literally the two smart kids in the family even if none of them notice it and it's all because mikey looks up to his brother and is like an sponge with donnie around. donnie is actively teaching mikey and mikey is learning! even if they have no idea they are doing it
cozy boyfriend satoru who uses you as his body pillow. who wraps his long arms around your waist and squishes his cheek against your shoulder. who nuzzles his nose into your neck, and softly breathes against your skin as he falls asleep.
your arm is feeling tingly, but you don’t want to disturb him. he looks so soft when he’s relaxed, you completely forget that he’s the strongest being in existence. it gives you a chance to play with his feathery hair, to slowly twirl the angelic locks between your fingers. to trace the shell of his ear, and tenderly massage the back of his neck.
you can’t help but smile, holding in a giggle as you bite your bottom lip. it’s cute when he wakes up - eyes heavy, and he pouts innocently in your direction when he gazes up at you from underneath frosty lashes to ask: “what’s so funny?”
he’s too adorable, too cute for his own good - you can’t help but kiss the top of his head and squeeze his frame that’s snuggled right up into you. your touch gently lulling him back to sleep 🥺🥺🥺🥺
