the importance of mike and will simply getting each other (pt 2):
part one here !
I’ve covered the significance of Mileven simply not understanding each other, & now it’s time to talk about their counterpart !
(specifying that nothing in these posts is new or groundbreaking, I’m just covering multiple topics and gathering info in one place !)
season 1:
Episode one begins with the party playing a d&d campaign:
Tumblr media
When Mike goes upstairs to talk to his mom, Will discovers he’d rolled a seven, meaning the monster got him in the game. Dustin and Lucas say “Did Mike see it?” to which Will shakes his head no. “Then it doesn’t count!” Lucas replies as they scramble to leave the house.
Dustin and Lucas leave and Mike stands next to Will in the garage. After a moment of quiet, Will tells Mike,
“It was a seven. The roll. It was a seven. The demogorgon, it got me.”
Tumblr media
To which Mike responds with:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
nothing.
This scene is the first scene we get with Mine and Will alone in the whole show. This scene sets up the entirety of their relationship, telling the audience right off the bat,
“Hey! These two boys are best friends, and they don’t lie to each other!”
First impressions are always important in media, and next we get El and Mike’s first scenes together.
Remember, Mike only found El because he was out with Dustin and Lucas looking for Will.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, Mike is sweet to El that first night and next day. But keep in mind that the only reason El spent that first night in Mike’s basement was because Mike didn’t want to get in trouble by his mom, because he had been out looking for Will, something he wasn’t supposed to be doing.
Dustin says, “I think we should tell your mom,” and Lucas agrees. Mike responds with, “Who’s crazy now?”
Lucas: “How is that crazy?”
Mike: “Because we weren’t supposed to be out tonight, remember?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mike makes the plan to have El sleep there for the night, then go around to the front door in the morning so Karen will know what to do with her. Mike wants her to leave in the morning so they can go back to looking for Will.
Remember, the only reason she stayed the night was so the boys didn’t get in trouble for looking for Will.
Mike keeps Eleven around 1. because “bad men” are after her, and Mike does care for her and her safety, and 2. Mike has a feeling Will is alive and El knows how to find him.
They don’t have many interactions in season 1 due to Will being in the upside down, but they reunite at the end of the season and everything is (seemingly) back to normal.
season 2:
Everyone knows season two is byler’s season ! El is living with Hopper, unbeknownst to the boys, and Mike and Will are as close as ever.
Episode 1: The party goes to Palace Arcade and plays Dig Dug. In the midst of this, Will gets a weird feeling and suddenly sees the upside down.
Tumblr media
He walks outside slowly and sees the Mind Flayer, followed by one person and one person only: his best friend.
Tumblr media
(can’t ss netflix but mike comes out and asks will if he’s okay)
Mike is the only one out of the other three to notice Will is gone and follow him out. He puts his arm around Will and walks him back inside to play Dig Dug.
Later on in episode one, Joyce picks Will up early from school for his appointment with Dr. Owens,
Tumblr media
and the camera zooms into Mike and Mike only, saying,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All three boys notice something is off, but Mike is the first to say something about it.
This whole season is meant to showcase the special friendship Mike and Will have. They know each other the best and even the rest of the party knows that.
Episode 2: This episode is an important one. Max joins the party while trick-or-treating and Mike is not on board with the idea.
(sorry for the terrible grimy photos im taking these pics from another screen)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've noticed when the party split off into groups, it's almost always Mike & Will, Dustin & Lucas, or Lucas & Max. Mike and Will are glued to each other's hip most of the time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(these photos are so bad im cryin im sorry)
Mike is upset that Will allowed for Max to join them while trick-or-treating, and when Mike hurries ahead of Will, Will almost seems disappointed in himself for disappointing Mike, staring after him like Mike caught him committing atrocities and he feels guilty. lmao poor will, he just wants to make mike happy !
A moment later we have bullies push Will to the ground, resulting in him seeing the upside down & Mind Flayer again, calling for Mike and running to safety.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Mike finally reaches Will, he exclaims, "Will! I couldn't find you, are you hurt?" indicating that the moment Mike turned around and didn't see Will behind him, he sensed something was off and went looking for him, just like at Palace Arcade.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While the others chase down the stairs, either cussing or verbally confused, Mike is the only one at Will's side asking him if he's okay.
Tumblr media
He helps Will up and puts an arm around him again, just like at palace Arcade, and takes him ho--- oh, you thought I was gonna say home? To Will's house? Nope! Mike says he's going to take Will home, and takes him to the Wheeler's basement.
Tumblr media
Ladies and gentlemen, how could I make a byler post without including the infamous crazy together scene !?
We have Mike and Will sitting on the couch in the Wheeler's basement, and Will is telling him all about these "visions" he's been having.
He begins describing,
Tumblr media
but stops, not knowing how to finish his sentence. But no worries, Mike finishes it for him!
Tumblr media
Will then begs Mike to keep it a secret.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why won't the others understand? Did the other party member not already see a demogorgon? Do they not already know what the upside down is? Will just wants to have something special--a secret only he and Mike know. He knows the others would understand, but doesn't think they'd be of any help. Unlike Mike, whom he trusts completely.
anyways that's all the photos i can fit here so I will cover the rest of s2, 3, & 4 in my next post. byeeee!!!
part 3 here !

Gremlin Macau for the prompt ? Or ramble on about Macau? 😬
huh. how the heck did you know i think about macau 24/7 😂
here's a post-canon headcanon for you:
neither vegas nor pete are any good at taking photos. vegas will obediently point a camera in macau's direction whenever macau asks ("uh, yeah, hia, i can and will shove all fifteen of these marshmallows in my mouth, are you doubting me") — but vegas doesn't have the instinct to take photos on his own, and the only selfies he's ever taken are thirst traps and dick pics as part of his ill-advised seduction attempts (not that macau knows this, bless his soul). pete, on the other hand, wasn't allowed a cellphone as a bodyguard, and cellphone technology evolved eight times over during his tenure, so pete can't take a good photo to save his life. stray blurry fingers in the corners of photos, light glare, terrible framing, that sort of thing.
what this means, of course, is that neither vegas nor pete have a ton of great photos of each other.
but macau is a fucking pro at this shit, okay, macau has studied the blade. so macau takes more than enough photos for the three of them, because he's great, and someone needs to document all the shit they do, and hia and phi better be thankful—
and they are. they'll linger over his shoulder as he's going through his photos, and they'll go "macau, that one's really good," and "can you send that to me?" and macau will start to sense a pattern. namely, his brother and his (soon-to-be!) brother-in-law are gross sappy dorks, and are farming him for photos of each other.
so macau, because he's the bestest little brother ever, starts to deliberately sneak shots of each of them to send to the other. totally unprompted, he'll send vegas these stunning candid shots of pete — pete playfully biting into a chicken skewer, pete waving at macau from a distance while leaning casually against their car, pete smiling off into the sunset. and vegas is down bad for these photos, macau sends him one when they're in the same room and gets to hear vegas make the most embarrassing strangled noise when he opens the notification and macau busts a lung laughing at him about it. (vegas does not put him in a headlock over it, because vegas is an addict, and vegas knows better than to piss off his dealer.)
the catch?
the photos that macau is sending to pete, of vegas... are terrible 😂 meme-worthy levels of cringe. vegas caught mid-snore, vegas's face scrunched up mid-blink, blurry chipmunk vegas with his mouth full of some food or the other. macau even manages to get a shot of vegas tripping and almost faceplanting over a loose branch on the sidewalk, and macau and pete cannot stop giggling about it for a straight fifteen minutes. (vegas is extremely suspicious, and also doesn't want to know, thanks very much.) pete eventually starts setting these photos as his phone lock screen and it drives vegas insane, but of course in the end he lets pete do whatever pete wants. of course he has no idea macau is the real culprit. (this con goes on for years.)
(but macau loves his brother too, so every once in a while, he'll do his brother justice. and he'll send something to pete, and he'll see the most gentle smile spread across pete's face, and he'll think, hell yeah. nailed it. best bro award goes to ME.)

Hard to say but I think ADC has been trying to shake the lesbian fandom for a while and for me this puts the nail in the coffin. She's made some truly terrible choices before and I don't blame her for every thing but she's not a messy teen making these decisions. She wants to appeal to the male gaze with her modeling and her thirst traps and I'm not interested anymore. Waste of talent.
I'm genuinely saying this with kindness, I think maybe you need to take a breath and step back here. Because this is reading very parasocial relationship to me, and I don't think that's healthy for you.
She is an actress. She wants to act in wide varieties of things like most actors do rather than being typecast. She has said herself she never even expected to be in the sci-fi/horror genre to begin with, but those just so happened to be the jobs she landed at the beginning of her career. Her moving on and branching out to different kinds of roles is good for her as an actress. It's good for her career and her bank account lol.
I personally find the thirst trap comment particularly raised-eyebrow worthy because the woman barely posts on social media at all. She keeps a very defined line between her personal life and all of her fans, gay and straight alike. She posts pics of herself that she obviously thinks are pretty and chic, mixed between 47,000 pictures of her dinner and random walls. She knows her looks are a commodity in her field because I'm assuming she's not stupid, but beyond bolstering her image for modeling opportunities (none of which have been male gaze oriented at all I'm sorry but they haven't), she's explicitly said she enjoys getting dolled up and looking pretty. I don't think it's fair at all to insinuate a woman enjoying that is somehow doing something wrong or provocative. And even if she is trying to be provocative, why is a woman intentionally being sexy and confident in her looks on social media a bad thing?
As for the wanting to leave her lesbian fans behind, I really have no idea what to even say to that. I don't agree at all. What I do think is that she wants to broaden her fanbase. It makes sense that an actress wants her work to be seen by more and differing factions of people. Again, assuming she's not stupid or blind, she has to be well aware that her queer fans are ride or die (mostly), so.... overall I'm just not entirely sure what exactly it is you expect her to do to show she appreciates the support. Only ever play queer characters? Never have a male love interest on screen? Never take roles that require her to be anything other than chaste? Thank her queer fans in every interview? I don't mean that in a smartass way, I'm just genuinely perplexed by this thought process because what is she supposed to do?
Honestly and truly I'm not trying to be an ass to you here or even dismiss you. I just think that maybe you're attributing some inner feelings you have and are projecting them onto her, when all it really seems like she's doing is just being out here trying to work and live her life

How about actor au hc’s for fairy tail! (Nalu centered cuz i need my nalu crumbs)
so i got like 80% of the way through writing these before i realised i may have misinterpreted this ask, and that you were in fact probably asking for an au where they're actors on fairy tail as a show. oops! but these are actually headcanons that i have (to no ones surprise) talked about pretty at length with @nalunalu which is why this was my default list.
in fact, they even drew some absolute banging art based on one of these headcanons so you should go look at it <333
if that is in fact what you meant, and you still really want to hear my thoughts on it, i would still love to write that up, just send me another ask and i will make a post, but i hope you enjoy these general actor au headcanons nonetheless <3
misc natsu + lucy headcanons
natsu primarly does actions films and lucy mostly does dramas
natsu got his start in the industry as a stunt double but eventually started getting acting roles of his own
he does all (or most) of his own stunts
lucy gets into acting in college where she's doing a business degree at her fathers demands and she takes an improv class to try and make friends
she's really bad at improv and thinks it's fucking lame, but it sparks her interest in acting and she gets a conjoint degree in business and theatre
she would have dropped her business degree but if she did that her father would have stopped paying for it and it was the only way he would entertain the idea
as soon as she graduates she leaves home, cuts off all contact with her father and goes to pursue acting
she works waitressing and modelling for a while and she's offered the chance at a full time modelling contract but as much as she likes it, she still wants to pursue acting
natsu is crazy good at spotting cameras and paparazzi
like this video is natsu
there are so many photos of natsu and lucy where lucy's minding her own business, chatting along, while natsu just stares dead straight into the camera
natsu's instagram is made up entirely of bad pictures he takes of lucy
he only posts when he's contractually obligated to promote something and it's always his stupid genre of bad lucy photos
when he's not allowed to post bad lucy pics to promote his new projects, it's bad pics of his cat happy
his agency gets so sick of his terrible instagram prescense that he has it taken away from him and a social media manager takes over
they start posting actual nice good quality photos from red carpets and other events and people fucking hate it
the comments are so flooded with demands to bring lucy and happy back that they are forced to give it back to him, which he of course announces with a bad picture he took of lucy holding happy
all the comments are just like. the return of the king.
people constantly ask if his phone/camera is like 10 years old or if his terrible quality photos are an aesthetic choice, and it's not. it's 5 years old and has a crack on both cameras because he's always dropping it doing dumb shit
lucy still does a lot of modelling for magazines after her acting career takes off, but more for fun that for money like when she first ran away from home
brands are clambering at her feet to have her as their ambassador
she becomes a style icon and still retains her expensive taste from growing up in the heartfilia household
she wears lots of designer dresses on the red carpet and she works with a stylist but most of her stuff she picks herself
while lucy is always wearing show-stopping gowns on the red carpet and to every other promo event, natsu has one (1) suit he wears to every event
the only thing he changes is the shirt he wears underneath and it always matches what lucy's wearing
nalu specific headcanons
they meet for the first time on the set of a romcom that they're starring in opposite of each other and it's both of their first time doing anything like it
they're pretty much instant besties and they surprise literally everyone with how great their chemistry and comedic timing is
lucy did not know of his stunt double background until she watched him do one on set for the first time and she was fucking mortified. she screamed
their first kiss (and probably natsu's first kiss ever) is on set and they both get a little too into it for their own good
it's just a good old friendly kiss with no meaning whatsoever except for the fact that it definitely goes on for way longer than it was scripted to
they have a sex scene in the film and lucy is super nervous because it's her first time filming one
it's natsu's first time too but he's not nervous at all because he's jumped off of moving cars before so pretending to have sex with lucy is nothing compared to that
every time the cameras aren't rolling natsu is just goofing around to try make her feel more comfortable and it works a little too well because they're laughing and giggling and goofing off the whole time
if they were good friends before that, they're basically inseperable after it
on set, it's cute sometimes and infuriating other times
lucy's hair stylists and makeup artists fucking hate him because he will not leave her alone while they're trying to do her hair and makeup
he once got himself cursed out for giving her a noogie between her hair being done and get scene
once filming wraps they're both really bummed because they go from seeing each other every day to being lucky to see each other once every few weeks
once promo for the film starts they are attached at the hip
the films marketing team doesn't even have to try to push them into a fake relationship to promote the film because everyone just thinks they're dating anyway
in fact, they're so close that they're constantly accused of being in a fake relationship and that it's "so fake and forced" even though they're not actually dating
so much arguing ensues because of the sheer natural chemistry they have together in interviews even though both sides are wrong, they're just close friends who kiss for a job
lucy desperately needs everyone to know that they're not actually dating and that they're just friends but the films marketing team shushes her because it'll be good promo for the movie
natsu on the other hand does not care about it at all because he pays so little attention to the media anyway that he didn't even know people thought they were dating
both of them were pretty well known before the film, but the dating speculation and their acting in the film itself turns them both into household names and people hardly seperate one from the other
they both make cameos, even small ones, in each others films
lucy landed a role in a soap opera and natsu, who has never worked in television before, plays a recurring role as her love interest
he is not very good at acting in soaps because he thinks they're kind of lame and he's not practiced in it at all so his role is pretty limited to scenes with lucy because they just have stupid insane chemistry that everyone loves
natsu enters stage left. natsu kisses lucy. natsu exit stage left.
it's not until years of being best friends and well after the dating speculation dies down do they actually start dating, but neither they or their reps reveal it
no one gets confirmation that they're dating until pictures of their wedding pops up online and everyone is like THEY'RE MARRIED???
lucy writes a super long heartfelt post about how she got to marry her best friend and how much he means to her
natsu posted a picture of him and happy in matching suits and then the one (1) nice photo of lucy he has on their wedding day on the second slide with no caption

WHAT "NOTHING" LOOKS LIKE WHEN CAPTURED BY THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE.
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1272x1306 -- Spotlight on the Hubble Deep Field at full resolution, c. 1996. (R. Williams, the Hubble Deep Field team, NASA).
OVERVIEW: "In 1995, astronomer Bob Williams wanted to point the Hubble Space Telescope at a patch of sky filled with absolutely nothing remarkable. For 100 hours.
It was a terrible idea, his colleagues told him, and a waste of valuable telescope time. People would kill for that amount of time with the sharpest tool in the shed, they said, and besides — no way would the distant galaxies Williams hoped to see be bright enough for Hubble to detect.
Plus, another Hubble failure would be a public relations nightmare. Perceptions of the project, which had already cost multiple billions of dollars, were pretty dismal. Not much earlier, astronauts had dragged Hubble into the cargo bay of the space shuttle Endeavour and corrected a disastrous flaw in the prized telescope’s vision. After the fix, the previously blind eye in the sky could finally see stars as more than blurred points of light. And now, finally, it was time to start erasing the frustrations of Hubble’s early years.
Except that staring at nothing and coming up empty didn’t seem like the best way to do that.
But Williams was undeterred. And, to be honest, it didn’t really matter how much his colleagues protested. As director of the Space Telescope Science Institute, he had a certain amount of Hubble’s time at his personal disposal. “The telescope allocation committee would never have approved such a long, risky project,” he explains. “But as director, I had 10 percent of the telescope time, and I could do what I wanted.”
Wiliams suspected the billion light-year stare might capture eons of galactic evolution in a single frame and uncover some of the faintest, farthest galaxies ever seen. And to him, the potential observations were so important and so fundamental for understanding how the universe evolved that the experiment was a no-brainer, consequences be damned.
“Scientific discovery requires risk,” Williams says. “And I was at a point in my career where I said, “If it’s that bad, I’ll resign. I‘ll fall on my sword.’”
So, with his job perhaps on the line, Williams went off, put together a small team of post-docs, and did exactly as he’d planned. For 100 hours, between Dec. 18 and 28, Hubble stared at a patch of sky near the Big Dipper’s handle that was only about 1/30th as wide as the full moon. In total, the telescope took 342 pictures of the region, each of which was exposed for between 25 and 45 minutes. The images were processed and combined, then colored, and 17 days later, released to the public.
It turned out that “nothing” was actually stuffed with of galaxies. More than 3,000 of them came spilling out, some roughly 12 billion years old. Spiral, elliptical, irregular – red, white, blue, and yellow – the smudges of light that leapt from the final composite image cracked the universe in ways scientists never could have imagined."
-- NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, "When Hubble Stared at Nothing for 100 Hours," by Nadia Bynadia Drake, published April 24, 2015

I understand women can rape men and other women to but we need to stop acting like it’s split even 50/50 because it’s not idk why it’s so bad to say the majority of rapists are men it’s true
There's actually no way to prove that, not in any kind of unbiased way at least.
UK and I believe India and Israel at a minimum define rape as 'forced penetration' or some variation on that making it very difficult to charge a woman with rape because they would need to sodomize their victim.
Woman in those countries can hold a man down, wiggle his bit till biology takes over, mount up and go for a ride and it is not considered rape, from a legal perspective.
So the numbers are impossible to find out, because that sure as hell sounds like rape to me.
For the people that say 'he got hard so he must have wanted it'
1 please pick up a human biology book and hit yourself with it as hard as you possibly can and then open it up and look up the involuntary actions that the body can do, everyone with a penis that made it through their teens knows for a fact that it just does that on its own.
2 iirc there was a whole thing years and years back where the medical and scientific consensus was that a woman couldn't get pregnant without having an orgasm, leaving aside all the 'you wanna bet' cracks they took this to mean that if a woman got pregnant she obviously wasn't raped because she had a orgasm.
So that shit goes both ways.
But ya with all the different biased ways that male victims are tossed aside there's not going to be a way to know which side does it more.
You should have seen how mad the demons got about this one
Good heavens, wonder why that pic is censored before the post is even posted.
From 2017 tho
Tumblr media
Wild how when you change a few words the number doubles, obviously not all of the rapists are female, good to see it when that happened anyhow.
Again though, no way to actually accurately confirm or disprove your statement.
I have no idea why it should matter either.
It's like the bargaining stage of grief and it's a terrible way to approach a very real issue.
Yes ok there's some bad women out there too, but the men, they're way worse.....
No neither is better or worse than the other, both women and men are just fine the way they are and throwing gender politics in the mix doesn't do much to help victims.
Let's focus our efforts on rapists regardless of which fiddly bits they have, there's going to be all kinds of different reasons people do it, some people are just plain evil some people take a look at the definition of rape they've been told and think what they did is no big deal because legally it's not rape.

Have you seen Anna’s latest photo of her and Michael? Doesn’t Michael look so sad and tired? I feel like the whole vibe is just like they’ve just had a fight and are trying to keep it together for the camera, and the kids.
Hello, Anon. I did indeed see the picture that Anna posted last week, and it's honestly hard to know where to begin. First, let's get a visual up, for anyone who hasn't yet seen it:
Tumblr media
What I first thought of when seeing this pic was, "How does this even look like a night out?" They're posed against a blank blue wall that gives no context as to where they are or how this has anything to do with a night out. But what came to mind next was that AL posted this specifically because she wanted the same thing that Georgia got when she posted a picture of her and David in an Insta story earlier in the week, which is to have people sharing it all over Twitter and gushing about her and Michael being "couple goals."
The problem, though, is that in the pictures Georgia posts, David at least does not look like he is being held hostage in them. It's that even though those pictures may be posed, Georgia is very adept at being subtle and making them look spontaneous. AL, however, is not...and the harder she tries to make her and Michael's relationship look like Georgia and David's, the more obvious it is that it's not.
What truly confounds me is that we're expected to believe Michael is happy in that picture, especially when we look at it side-by-side with this picture that was taken just one day prior:
Tumblr media
When I look at the picture on the left, to me, that is the real Michael Sheen--the man who loves being out in the community and meeting people. In the picture on the right, that is Michael playing a role, the version of himself that exists in AL's fantasy/idea of what their relationship is...but it's clearly not a role he believes in (the difference is particularly visible in his eyes, which are sparkling and bright in the picture on the left, in stark contrast to how dull and lifeless they are on the right). And the thing for me is, if Michael doesn't believe in that role, then why should any of us? It just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
Overall, though, it's just...really a terrible picture? Even the composition of it next to the picture on the left is so strange, because they're both selfies, yet Michael looks so subdued in the picture with her--perhaps that sad/tired vibe that you were describing, Anon. AL clearly had agency over when/where that picture was taken, and yet she still chose to post it. There were so many choices being made here, and it's sort of mind-boggling to me how astoundingly bad a lot of them were.
To make matters even worse, just a few days later, it came to light that the big "night out" was them going to see a play at a community theater in Swansea, and Michael meeting with people from a charity that he supports, Adferiad Recovery:
Tumblr media
Yet there was no reference made to any of this in AL's Insta post--not of the play, nor of the charity of which Michael is a patron, and which she could've easily mentioned. If this was in fact the night out in question, it makes it seem like she was using him for PR and making his work about her. It also seems like she had no problem being purposely misleading about what happened while showing how little she cares about his charity work in the process.
The sad thing is, this isn't even the first time she's done this. In the week before the Insta post, it came to my attention that AL retweeted two of Michael's Mab Gwalia videos, and immediately followed that with a retweet of this:
Tumblr media
For those who may not have keyed into the meaning behind the acorn emojis in the caption, Anna seems to be bragging about Michael staring at her tits. (Though personally that is not even remotely close to my interpretation of this picture.) Painfully unfunny, and embarrassing as all get-out to boot. So she retweets the videos of his charity for PR, but it's when she retweets this picture and writes in her own voice that her true nature comes to light, which seems to involve not caring how bad she makes him look.
When the Insta picture was posted, I had several people DMing me about it, so I'd like to wrap this up by sharing a few things that were said, as I think they perfectly sum up what my feelings are. One person said to me that Michael and AL "can’t achieve the same look of happiness together as they can apart" and that "the weird distance" between them "is always present." I'm just not getting "couple" energy from them in that picture, and if Anna's reason for posting it was to convey that, I'd say she achieved the opposite effect instead.
The other thing I'd like to share comes from @thetardisisblueandroseistoo, in response to the fans who did share the picture on Twitter (though I didn't see it on any other social media channels, strangely enough) and who have gushed over Michael and AL as "couple goals":
"[...]All four people [Michael, AL, David, Georgia] are "couple goals" because they're presenting as straight, white, and monogamous. They are comfortable to consume and stan when presented like that. But if you pause and think maybe David and Georgia are open, David is very probably at least bi, Anna is collateral, and Michael is a serial womanizer that fell in love with his married male co-star, that's a lot less comfortable to think about. Fans project onto them, but instead of these people having the same problems that "normal people" have, they evidently have no problems at all. They're projecting an idea of infallibility onto all of them."
As anyone who follows my blog knows, I ardently ship Michael and David. But when I talk about their relationship, it's always from the perspective of what might be, and what seems probable from what has been publicly presented. Do I also discuss fantasies involving the two of them? Absolutely. But (I hope, anyway) that distinction between reality and fantasy is clear, whereas I don't see that at all in the people who vigorously defend Michael and AL's relationship. These fans see what they want to be true of that relationship, rather than discussing the reality of what the situation might actually be.
My aim in having these conversations on my blog and answering these Anons is to let people know that it's okay to ask these questions. It's okay to see Michael and David (and AL and Georgia) as human beings, instead of as "perfect" or "flawless." And it's okay for us to be honest about what we are seeing, especially when pictures like this are posted and stand out to so many of us for all the wrong reasons.
So those are my thoughts on the picture from last week. How accurate (or not) I may be in my observations, who knows. But I think it speaks volumes that more and more people seem to be noticing the marked difference in Michael's appearance and expression in pictures with AL versus with other people, and how that does not seem to bode well for their relationship. I guess we'll just have to see what happens...

Good Mx... I am here to ask about your favorite trans Dutch headcanons and if there are any pics you recommend 🫣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH BOY A FAVORITE TOPIC OF MINE!!!
I'll start off this ask by recommending this fic, "Fight Like a Man" by my good friend @miyagi-hokarate , a mutual with whom I've discussed trans Dutch at length, and who has contributed to many of my headcanons about Dutch. Much of what I say here will be because of discussions with them. Now, on to it:
My idea of a trans Dutch is that, similar to a lot of trans folks (me cough cough) he has a pretty bad relationship with his parents, especially his dad. They don't like to acknowledge his identity or, really, their son. And at times neither does Dutch, for a while. He wants to prove his maleness through the only way he knows how, and sometimes that means hiding who he is. He has a lot of internalized misogyny and the militaristic rhetoric about masculinity Kreese spews has shaped who he is as a young man. (points very conspicuously to the aforementioned fic). However, post-TKK I do think he comes into his own as a proud trans guy and the Cobras are entirely supportive. Duh.
(I - we, I should say, as these are very joint heacanons - think Tommy knew first out of all the Cobras. Because I'm a Dutch/Tommy truther lol.)
Dutch canonically is a wild child and this would be the case with or without a trans identity. However, I think as a young kid he was a "problem child" because he knew basically most of his life he was a boy. (again, jerks my head in the direction of that fabulous fic). I think later in his life he is perfectly fine, however, referring to his childhood as "when he was a girl." This is a point of contention amongst trans folks, but as an older trans guy, and someone very blunt, Dutch would refer to his childhood that way.
Anyway I love trans Dutch because Dutch is soooo problematic. "Is that allowed, can you make a problematic character trans?" Yeah, sure, just did. He's my favorite terrible man in the world.
Now as far as photos, I dont really have any which mark Dutch as trans. Obviously the film does not present him this way, this is my personal headcanon for a good time.
But scenes I'd draw your attention to are at the tournament, when Dutch is waiting on the sidelines during the whole montage of fighting. He is bouncing up and down and cannot contain all this violent energy. This, in addition to the locker scene where he is very aggressive toward Daniel, is where my interest in his presentation of masculinity is most centered. He has an idea of a what a man is, and as we know from the whole damn plot of the movie, it's not the greatest. The Cobras have this toxic idea too, but it's so interesting for a trans guy. The scene with Daniel, miyagi-hokarate and I really obsess over, because Dutch has this intense aggression and hatred for how Daniel presents himself as a man. Daniel's masculinity is notably different than the Cobras, but Dutch feels he can't be the kind and earnest kind of young man Daniel is, because then he's not really a man. Because surely, Kreese is the best example of what it means to be a man...(incorrect buzzer sound)
I do suggest searching up trans Dutch on tumblr search, because I feel like there's at least 1 or 2 fanarts out there.
Sorry for rambling I truly could go on for an age but Uh, Nah Lol AJFJRJFJ but yes hehe. My fevered thoughts. Go follow @miyagi-hokarate if you dont already ❤️

@paz-45 asked so here are my 5 ee tattoos lmao (warning for me just rambling absolute shit under the cut)
my first ever tattoo - jon's handwriting and a wild wave because i love violent sun so much. looking back the handwriting tattoo isn't something i'd do today but it's what got me started on getting tats at all and i had a very positive experience (both w getting it and w asking jon for the writing lmao)
the teeth are not related, for the record. writing is about 6 months healed in this pic and almost 18 months healed now. also i know no one asked but since i love talking about tattoos - this is on the outside of my forearm and the pain was about a 3/10. super easy placement if you want somewhere to put a first tattoo that won't kill you off immediately.
Tumblr media
classic lil gth hand. i always forget i have this because it's on the back of my arm (hence the bad photo too, say hello to my ear) but i do rlly love it, my artist did a very good job. it's about 5 months healed in this pic and just under 18 months healed now. this is on the back of my upper arm, the pain was probably a 4/10. a little spicy towards the inside but nowhere near the worst, certainly less painful than the inside of the bicep for instance. i also never find colour that bad (lines are worse imo) but i know some people do, so i guess if you came to this post looking for genuine tattoo advice, take that into consideration
Tumblr media
these eyes are, technically, ee related - and please excuse this horrible photo, they're really hard to get a pic of! but me and my artist designed them together based on put me together's bridge - 'is it the darkest night/or is that dawn in your eyes?' it's a very important song to me and i love these tattoos, especially the dawn one with all the little details. it actually looks a little better now it's healed, it's settled into itself a lot more. they're super fresh in this pic (less than a month each, i got them within about a week of each other) and about a year healed now
pain wise this is a rough placement. the bottom one especially was one of my most painful tattoos - probably an 8/10. it proved i could never tattoo my actual knee because i genuinely had a terrible time of it. though weirdly the top one was really easy, probably a 6/10
Tumblr media
i find this one incredibly hard to photograph bc of the way it wraps but my favourite line from final form (i stole the idea from someone in atb but it's one of my favourite sentiments, as in, this is my first body so i will make mistakes, and it is my last body so i will look after it). i broke one of my only tattoo rules for this too, which was No Words. i doubt i'll get any more words after this bc i don't think they'd really fit very well w the rest of mine, but i thought this was a really nice way to cuff my patchwork arm.
it's about 6 months healed in this video (from today). pain was probably another 8/10, wrist is a very spicy placement but not the worst one by any stretch. the outside (first body) was easier than the inside (last body) and it was definitely tolerable, tbh it was almost more annoying to heal than it was to get
i do have plans for more ee related tattoos (i want to get one from each album, so i have arc and rdf left to conquer) but atm i can't get anything because i have serious trust issies w new tattooists (and i love my artists who i know already) and my shop is currently 200 miles away. i'll probably get one in summertime if i have the money. i really like that for the most part they're not super obvious what they are, even the hand isn't bam in your face this is album artwork unless you're in the know. no hate to those kind of tattoos (ive seen some sick tattoos of the whole gth cover or at least the entire guy) it's just not my kind of thing, i like to be mysterious.
sorry for talking so much, but getting tattoos is my only personality trait. i could and would literally speak about it all day. consider this your formal piece of danny's tattoo advice. none of these are my most painful placements and none were my most painful tattoos, but everybody is different so if you genuinely do want this advice, take it with a grain of salt. and if anyone wants more of my advice/further tattoo tours, feel free to ask (idk why you'd want advice from me but i have probably about 40 tattoos at this point and i want to talk about it. because i'm boring and inufferable. i'm A Tattoo Person. this is my coming out </3)
cheers for looking x

20 questions for fic writers
Thanks for tagging me @alleycat0306!
1.How many works do you have on ao3?
53 revealed and 4 hidden fics. (I've also deleted several.)
2. What's your total ao3 word count?
387,408 words. Most of my works are fairly short.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I've written for a few. I was active in drarry for years. My most recent non-drarry ones were wangxian (MDZS/CQL).
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
(all drarry)
dirtynumbangelboy
The Miseducation of Draco Malfoy
The Full Monty
Through the Looking Glass and What Draco Found There
Kiss on cheek: one galleon
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do, except that on multichapter fics I only respond to the final chapter comments. I love and cherish each comment, though, and they make me more happy than I can express.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
The Death You Carry. It's an MCD terminal illness fic.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of my fics end happily. The most happy... Well, DNAB I've mentioned above, I think that ends pretty happily, but I'd add The Unquiet Grave too, because the drarry relationship in it is very joyful (imo).
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've never got hate. The worst has been some entitled comments, or a bit rude and thoughtless. A recent one was like that. Occasionally, one or two people mentioned something they didn't like or understand in my story and that led to interesting discussions.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do! Idk what kind, the er...normal one?
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
No crossovers, no, though I've written a fic with a strong Captive Prince vibe (and some Easter eggs for CaPri readers) and a fic inspired by wangxian. So, MDZS Easter eggs there too.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Once someone screenshot dirtynumbangelboy and posted it on instagram, in groups of 10 pics. Does that count?
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
A few.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No. Me and @bixgirl1 sort of talked about it back in the day, but I'm so idiosyncratic I'd be a terrible co-writer. I can't imagine doing it with anyone other than Bix, tbh.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
All time favourite is wangxian. I know it's a fairly recent ship for me, but they've hooked me deep.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I started a post-Hogwarts/kinda Eighth Year drarry fic a few years ago. I still have a vivid impression of the fic's world and the intensity I was going for, but no idea of the plot (typical) and, for a few other reasons, I'll never finish it. It's a shame because I meant it as a gift to a very dear fandom pal.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Mood, atmosphere, my prose and my turns of phrase tend to be what readers comment on. I've written a few fics people thought were funny. I like my dialogue a lot.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Plot usually. I think, the end result perhaps doesn't read as bad as I make it, but plot can stall me for AGES. It doesn't come naturally to me, at all.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Love it.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Pynch from The Raven Cycle.
20. Favourite fic you've written?
Probably 9 ½ Days (drarry)) ; it starts like this (pynch) ; and the unfinished secret desires (wangxian). Oh and the HP but non-drarry Black sisters fairytale The Glass Hearts. really love this last one.
Tagging everyone who wants to do this! <33

jungkook watches the red wedding
in which jungkook watches the red wedding from game of thrones
description/tags/author's note: self-explanatory as per the title / ~1.4k words / fluff but also a bit angsty? is this what everyone calls hurt/comfort? / contains spoilers for the red wedding in game of thrones (season 3, episode 9) / just a quick little drabble i wrote / finally sharing to celebrate the follower milestone i hit and also jk at the world koop! so proud of him. / if you like this you'd love this - this fic was born out of that post!
tw: it’s a reaction to the red wedding scene from got so mentions of fictional deaths including the death of an unborn baby, blood/bloodhsed, stabbings, but none of that occurs IN the pic - they’re just watching the episode that portrays all of that. 
“Okay Jungkook, let’s do this. Are you ready?” you ask your boyfriend, who made his way over from the kitchen, two big bowls of popcorn in his hands.
“Baby, we watch an episode almost every night, of course I’m ready,” he says. “What’s all this fuss today? I’m not complaining but it seems extra cozy.”
“I just feel like we need it.” You readjust the extra pillows and spread open the fleece blankets you had brought over to the mattress Jungkook laid out in front of the living room TV. “Are you okay? Are you sure you want to watch it today?”
“Baby, yes. What’s wrong? Do you not want to? Is it a bad episode? Tell me the truth. You’re a terrible liar, anyways,” he says before sipping from a cup of chamomile tea you had just poured for him. 
“No, Jungkook, let’s just watch!”
Right as the HBO logo fades away, Jungkook begins singing along to the theme song of the show, as he did with every single episode. He did not care when you told him that each opening theme showed the locations we’d visit in the episode (he considered them spoilers). He preferred singing or humming along to the theme song in a variety of ways. Today, it was operatic. Your poor boy had no idea what was ahead of him.
As the episode played on, Jungkook became too focused to continue cuddling and sat cross-legged right next to you on the mattress, sipping at his chamomile tea whenever you refilled his cup. With his eyes still glued to the screen as the wedding approached, you were able to position your phone at the perfect angle to capture his reaction….
“Jungkook, what do you think of Robb?” you ask.
“Hmm?”
“Robb. Do you like him?”
“Yeah. I think he’s admirable, he’s trying to be a leader, he’s inspired by his father, and he just fell in love…. He had the guts to follow his heart. It takes guts, to follow your heart.”
“True, Robb or Jon?,” you ask, feigning it as one of the many random questions you asked him while he watched GoT, wanting to know his opinion. 
“Hmm… maybe Robb,” he answers as the wedding scene begins. “Ay, baby I don’t feel too good.”
“About what?”
“I don’t know, I feel… tense in my stomach.”
“Weird, do you want me to get you something for nausea?”
“No, no, baby.. sssh. Hold my hand,” he whispers, and you gladly take his hand in yours, rubbing the area between his thumb and index finger.
You catch Jungkook smiling at Robb and Talisa’s kiss just as Catelyn did in the scene, but his smile vanishes as fast as hers.
“Ay, baby…." he says, noticing the Rains of Castamere play in the background of the scene. “The music… Arya’s so close!”
Knowing how fast the scene plays out, you stay silent in fear you’d distract him, and Jungkook doesn’t say a word either until he lets out a scream at the sudden sight of Talisa getting stabbed, followed by a series of noises the bloodshed continues, all the while his grip on your hand grew tighter.
“HIS WIFE. THE BABY,” he says in disbelief as the scene cuts to Arya, his eyes still glued to the screen, tears pouring out when Robb crawls to Talisa’s body.
“Oh! Oh! Oh!” he hopes when Catelyn takes Walder Frey’s wife hostage. 
But he doesn’t say anything else. His mouth remains agape, his eyes fixed on the screen until Robb gets stabbed and Catelyn gets slashed.
And the scene cuts to black.
“Baby,” you say, half a minute later, a tiny laugh escaping at the end of it, staring at Jungkook frozen in his spot. “….You okay?”
He breathes deeply, staring into a void.
“You. Knew…… You knew this would happen?”, he asks, his voice stern and angry despite the tears bubbling up in his eyes and the pout on his face.
“Well, yes, baby, I saw the show a couple of times already.”
“AND YOU LET ME WATCH IT?”, he screams, looking away. “You let me get attached to these characters, this show and….”
Jungkook rarely got angry, it was one of the many things about him that amazed you…. He always had reasons to be, but it was never as though he was concealing his anger… It was as though it was an emotion entirely unknown to him…. And now with his back turned towards you, you can’t tell if he was fuming, heartbroken, or worse, both…. When he got up and paced the room, you felt a pang in your heart, guilt at putting him through any pain…. 
“That’s why you asked me about Robb,” he realizes, glaring at you. “Fucking hell, I’m never getting attached to any fictional character ever again - you know about the Iron Man incident!”
“Yes, baby, and I love you for it! It’s okay to get attached! You know I’m the same! It’s okay to love! To care!”
“If you really cared about these characters you wouldn’t rewatch this show and suffer this pain. Oh, baby, I’m angry. I’m sad.” Jungkook’s shoulders slump. “He had just gotten married, he was going somewhere and starting a family…. And ARYA WAS JUST ABOUT TO REUNITE WITH HER FAMILY AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS. FUCK. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE ARYA.”
“I know, baby, I know.”
“Tell me NOW if something happens to her later on, I need to know now.”
“Jungkook…. I can’t spoil the show - are you so upset that you want to stop watching?”
“N-no. I still like Arya and Daenerys. And Jon kinda, I guess….” He murmurs. “But Robb. His wife. His MOTHER….. The Starks…..”
Tears pour from his eyes, and you suddenly remember your propped-up phone. Hitting the big button on the screen, you stopped recording, overwhelmed with guilt. This was too much. Though it was still emotional for you, going through the journeys and emotions with fictional characters was second nature to you. You knew he could get emotional too - Jimin kept telling you how upset he was after Avengers: Endgame…. But you didn’t expect this. 
“Aww, baby come here,” you say outstretching your arms, and he crawls down onto the mattress and into your embrace. Feeling him nuzzle against your chest, you rub his hair and kiss his head.
“Aww, my baby, it’s okay,” you whisper against his hair as he hides himself in your body, crying.  “It’s okay….”
“Just promise me the show ends well….” he whispers.
You bite your lip, and kiss the top of his head more times than you can count in hopes he thought you didn’t hear him… He suffered enough heartbreak for a while.
It’s so hard to look at his puffy, tear-streaked face when he stares up at you, and the now adorable little pout his lips formed, which you kiss as you hold his face in your hands. “Awww. My baby survived the Red Wedding episode.”
“Can we go to bed?” Jungkook sniffles before kissing you again, his teeth softly tugging at your lips for a brief moment.
“Sure, baby…. But let’s watch something fun before that?” you suggest. “We’ll both get nightmares if we won’t.” 
“You’re right,” he says, turning to face the TV, still cozied up against you as you found something to watch on YouTube that you knew would entertain Jungkook.
“The chamomile tea in the thermos is still warm, drink some in a bit, Kookie, it’ll help you relax.”
He scoffs. “So that’s what that was. I can’t believe I didn’t see all this coming.”
“No one did, Jungkook, don't feel bad for not predicting it. I couldn’t sleep when I watched it. I'm just glad you didn't see any spoilers, that's a rare thing. Don’t forget the tea, though.”
“It didn’t stop me from crying, baby…. But I guess needed it. I need something to make me laugh too. And I need you,” he says, rubbing your leg and kissing your skin. 
“You have the tea and you'll always have me, Jungkook. I promise I'll make you smile so hard to make up for this,” you say, kissing his head when he giggled either at your comment or the show you put on, the sight of his bunny teeth peeking out from his lips engulfing you in relief and happiness. 
Because what could be better than cuddling up with the love of your life with a cup of tea, crying over fictional characters? Traumatic as the shows may be…
This was home.

what was your creative process for coming up with 🦞Lobster🦞?
Okay so, a LOT of my Spamton-related designs literally come from me going "I want to combine something with Spamton". That's happened for Pleo, Moth, Shroom, Buzz, and definitely Lobster too. I don't remember if this was the case for Widow though, he's more of a special case (for everyone else, I haven't posted Widow yet)
For Lobster, I was trying to think of like... the most obscure animal / creature I could combine with Spamton because I mostly wanted to test my designing skills and see if I could fuse the two ideas? So he honestly started out as a joke design, and his personality was initially way more different than he is now.
This is the first art I ever did of him:
Tumblr media
I drew this in the beginning of May, so I've actually had him WAY longer than I've been posting him for. (Also lord if anyone wants to draw him please do NOT use this ref, I've made so many minor changes like his antenna and teeth / mandibles that he almost looks completely different face-wise)
He's based on those rare blue lobsters, but also based on lobsters specifically sold in grocery stores for meat.
More lore under the cut because I want to add some pictures of what I mean, be warned for some pics being stuff like lobster shell diseases and stuff:
-------
So the whole idea of him is that he's based on bad living conditions when it comes to animals kept in grocery stores, whether it be lobsters being held in those tanks just filled with other lobsters for food, or even the pet section where there's always a bunch of those dead fish at the top of the tanks.
Tumblr media
Like one of these, but maybe half of the size and with a lot less lobsters in it. I'm thinking of a very specific one I used to see when I was younger but I can't find a good comparison image. Just imagine a Walmart with the tank I described above around the deli section.
I really hate generally bad care of animals even if they're intended to be eaten, so I thought playing around with the idea of a small lobster living in one of those tanks never being picked out (because when buying a lobster, who would want to buy a small one? Less meat), and being left in there for an unbelievably long time until it was bought... for a prank. I'll explain more later though there's a good synopsis of that on this post.
So Lobster, in the light world, is just a normal grocery store lobster! He's heavily inspired by this video:
youtube
He's just a normal looking lobster, like the right one:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You're probably wondering why he's blue. He's not only based on those rare blue lobsters, because Dark Worlds are shown to drastically change the colors of people who go into it, a good example being Kris's sprite turning to shades of blue. I wouldn't be surprised if a lobster being taken into a dark world would change colors too, hence why he's blue. I've actually drawn a hypothetical alt of what Lobster would look like with "normal" coloration as well:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The band on his claw is based on the bands that grocery stores use on lobsters to keep them from being snippy to people handling them / so they don't hurt other lobsters.
The orange markings are actually a disease that lobsters can develop when they're malnourished. When growing their shells and molting, lobsters use nutrients that they eat in order to regrow their shells underneath. There's a disease that looks very similar to "rusting" that deteriorates the shell. I felt that it worked really well for an accent color for him (I tried to find some less terrible looking pictures, be wary on google because some lobsters are in super rough shape):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personality wise, he was supposed to be a lot more vulgar and rude, though now he's a lot more creature and just unknowing more than anything. There's more to him than that but this post is super long already so if you have any more questions, just feel free to send them!

was going through the tags of the 'worst stranger things takes' post and noticed your 'jonathan apologize to steve' as one of the takes on ur list (great list btw) and i had a lightbulb moment and needed to take a moment and apologize to you and anyone else for having to read that with your own two eyes
my illiterate ass just meant that nancy was with steve in those pictures, that jonathan also took pics of him and his friends, not that he should apologize to steve for taking pics of nancy just bc they were together. wording and phrasing will be my undoing i stg bc that was indeed a Terrible Take™️
anyways, im an idiot! congrats on 3 yrs and good luck with finals alslsdkaldj
see, that take i understand — taking pictures of people unprompted and without consent is a bad thing that no one should do regardless of intent. because while jonathan was trying to look for will, it doesn't mean he can just snap photos of a bunch of other teenagers having a party home alone
however, i have seen many people specify that they want jonathan to apologize to steve for the pictures of nancy specifically for the fact that steve was dating nancy at the time the pictures at the time. that makes the big (and gross) assumption that because steve and nancy were dating, he somehow had "ownership" of nancy's body, and therefore jonathan had to apologize to him for what essentially becomes taking pictures of steve's "property". and also that idea basically takes away nancy's agency over her own body, which is again super gross
but that isn't about the idea that jonathan should apologize for taking pictures of steve and his friends without permission, which is an excellent point (but the show was more focused on the picture of nancy, so the other pictures just get forgotten about). so you're all good, anon!

So today was kinda productive... I'm slowly chipping away at my to do list.
I spent some time making prototypes of the pop out cylinder and trigger+hammer mechanisms.
I thought I took a pic of one of them but I guess I forgot? Oh well, they weren't anything special to look at anyways.

So I made the trigger and hammer, they are still in need of some trimming. While I was whittling the hammer, the wood split and I cut my thumb and index fingers. Wasn't too bad, the blade needed to be changed so it wasn't as deep a cut as it could have been.
Next I had to do something terrible...

Yeah I had to cut it in half for multiple reasons. The holes for the barrels needed to be drilled and I don't have an adapter for my drill to do 90° drilling or something.

I cut the two holes. They look good ish, I just need to be more delicate and shape them better later.
I wanted to put the cylinder pin on, so I lined it up with markers and glued it down. It was surprisingly perfect and it spins really good

I wanted to do more today but I forgot to charge my drill so it crapped out.
So, I have no idea how that last post got so many likes. All I can say is thank you for even looking at my stuff, let alone actually liking it! I wish I could send you a thank you message, but I don't think I'm mentally prepared for that yet. So I'll just say thank you again for reading, I hope you have wonderful dreams tonight.
Be safe and goodnight.
