So... I cut a bunch of thread the other day for a Storyteller/Tiger Rock coloured chevron bracelet just to have another go and to get some button fasten practice attempts in, but I couldn't find a button that matched the theme. I was gonna buy a bunch of stars for more animatronic colour scheme ones because they match, but still couldn't see one matching Tiger Rock unless I somehow used two (a blue and a green) but still couldn't see a good shaped one. I was thinking maybe a pink star, or a white and black striped one, and I've just thought of one with a tree on it cause there's no way those don't exist and...
My mum just gave me a shortbread tin of buttons that she, her mum and my dad's mum have somehow accumulated over the years! Hooray! There's bound to be a good one in here!
.... Nope! There's some good ones and some weird ones and some really nice ones, but there's nothing that matches the Storyteller/Tiger Rock theme.
Lads. There's so many buttons here how is there not a single good one for this?? Going insane here

a scene from Start Of The Breakdown, the first part of You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son:
The day consists of going in and out of classes, trying to memorise what the teachers say and only writing down the most important parts, trying to memorise and make sure that he doesn’t mix up his letters, trying to memorise and make sure his handwriting is legible.
He doesn’t eat lunch, not wanting to see Tommy and Carol. He fills up on water in a bathroom and doesn’t think about the soft-looking hair of the freshman washing his hands next to him.
His own hair has a side part that he only sees when his parents are home and he has to hide the Farrah Fawcett hairspray. It looks wrong, and he gets so caught up staring in the mirror that he doesn’t notice the freshman being replaced by a senior until a flash of rings in the corner of his eye startles him.
Steve leaves the bathroom, hoping it looks natural and not like he’s running away.
the same scene from Thrill Of It All, a companion piece from Eddie's pov:
Eddie Munson has always been aware of Steve Harrington, since before high school even though he’s loathe to admit it. There’s just something about the Harrington heir that draws his eyes, which is why when Gareth had come back to their lunch table commenting about Harrington being weird in the bathroom, Eddie had gone to investigate.
Weird was certainly one way to put it.
Eddie sidles up next to Harrington by the sinks, turning on the tap so that he can use washing his hands as an excuse for being there. Harrington doesn’t react, his reflection apparently holding the answers to all of Earth’s questions. It’s strange because Eddie has focused his high school years on being loud, putting a target on himself that makes him hard to ignore. Harrington is only a grade under him, so he has to be aware of who Eddie is, and he won’t take being ignored by some rich kid experiencing an existential crisis.
So Eddie talks.
“You take something, Harrington?” he asks, because he knows drugs, and he knows that Harrington hasn’t. Provoking is always a safe bet. “Hope not, since you haven’t been buying from me. I wouldn’t trust any other dealer, even your friend Tommy H. knows to only buy from me. Don’t tell him, but I overcharge him since he’s such an asshole. I would probably overcharge you too, so maybe it’s for the best that you’re not buying from me….”
He trails off at the lack of a reaction.
There’s only so long that you can realistically wash your hands, so Eddie turns the tap off and tries to shake the water off his hands just to get some of the awkward energy out.
“I would overcharge you because I think you’re an asshole-” he starts to explain, thinking that maybe the insult wasn’t blunt enough to provoke, but then Harrington startles and the next thing Eddie knows, he’s alone.
He doesn’t think Harrington heard a word he said, which makes the whole thing so much stranger.
And Eddie likes strange. Likes weird. Is downright fascinated by it.
So he decides to watch.

Fun Second Hand Find!!
Today while looking at some second hand stuff I found something really really good! :D
It's the book I've used for most of my Åland specific history for this time period!
In the past when I've wanted to look stuff up from the book or use specific quotes I've been working from really junky photos I took of specific pages/passages from when I had borrowed the book from the library.
And when I say junky I mean so junky lmao
But now I can access specific pages whenever I want without needing to use old photos and I don't have to worry about a library loan running out
