So for me personally I think both Steve and Tony have the same lack of self-esteem/self-confidence it just manifests differently. Tony believes he can't measure up and won't no matter how hard he tries which makes him seem aloof/uncaring towards others. (Not that this stops him from trying, of course. Deep down he's hopeful that someday, somehow, he'll be enough for someone. Which is why all of his friends are like "lol Tony aloof? He got drunk and cried because someone mentioned they had to put their dog down recently so he made an animal shelter in the dog's name.")

Now. Steve. He's been clawing tooth and nail for respect since he was a sickly, skinny kid. He spent so long getting no respect (even after he first became Captain America, being used for propaganda) and then, suddenly, after proving his mettle in battle/rescuing an entire unit of POWs, he has nothing but respect from the people around him. He doesn't know how to handle it because he would have gone to rescue Bucky even if he was still tiny. Nothing changed except his body. He's still him at his core. But he thinks people only ever want to be with him for his body so when he starts having self-esteem issues his feelings accumulate into anger.

All of this to say one of my favoritest tropes in fan fiction (any universe) is when people make Tony fall in love with skinny asthmatic Steve but Steve doesn't want to date because he thinks Tony pities him and then they fall out of contact, only for there to be some sort of event where they're going to meet again. Tony tells this huge blond hunk to keep an eye out for a tiny blond with anger issues because Steve is the only reason he even came to this stupid party and if he isn't coming Tony is going to leave. In fact he might leave anyway because Steve shouted at him to leave him alone the last time they saw each other so he might not want to see Tony anyway. Which gives Steve (blond hunk) an identity crisis because oh no apparently Tony was earnest back then and Steve yelled at him for no reason because he thought Tony was patronizing him and Tony apparently still cares about him and is so handsome. Fuck. His friends are never going to let him live this down.

("Aw I was really looking forward to being the big spoon," Tony says post reveal, frowning up at Steve, and Steve about kills himself choking on his drink laughing.)

Midzelink Headcanons (at 3am)

Link is a bit of an insomniac and ends up doing anything other than sleeping, does a lot of cleaning at 1am type shit

Midna is a really heavy sleeper and tends to headlock what or whoever is closest

Zelda is a decently light sleeper and half the time ends up saying awake with Link for a while before passing out again, has woken up on her couch more times than she'd like to cause of this

-

Midna doesnt dream, like at all and even if she does she doesnt remember them

Zelda has really vivid dreams to the point that when she'll wake up in the morning she has a hard time distinguishing between the two for a good few minutes (gaslit by her own dreams type shit)

Link's just kinda there, doesn't remember any unless they were really weird

-

Zelda and Midna are not morning ppl whatsoever, Zelda's a bit better but would rather not wake up before 10am

Link's used to being up with the sunrise so he doesn't actually remember if he is or isnt, he does pretty regularly take a nap in the middle of the day tho

-

Midna can't cook for shit and was banned from using anything more than a toaster and microwave

Zelda's one of the can make really good looking food but it tastes bland as hell kind of people, do to that Link has to do all the prep work and Zelda actually cooks otherwise Link tends to burn stuff trying to multi-task

-

Midna and Zelda are childhood friends troupe

Link and Midna had a enemies to lovers shit for a little bit

Zelda and Link were a forced proximity and/or they have a homie pact to cordial for the sake of Midna

-

Link has a southern country accent, but not like deep south yk?

Zelda has that kinda british kinda not thing BoTW Zelda has going on but a little more subdued

#twilight princess #modern au #midzelink #late night rambles #shitpost kinda #idk i just had thoughts #i like thinking about them #side note midna is definitely a freeloader #tbh i dont even remember what i wrote at the start anymore #im in the i need to see but the brain wont shut off thing rn #very unrelated coyotes just started howling and it scared the shit out of me for a sec #i hate being in the coyote side of the countryside #theyre so loud for no reason #like if youre going to be annoying do i regularly #my autistic ass like consistency damn coyotes #moon emissary thoughts #moon's “modern” au

Watching a speedrun of a game is like listening to a magician explain his tricks

it’s fun to know the mechanics and hard work that got put into the trick/game, but it also ruins the trick/game’s suspension of disbelief and narrative charm

that’s not to say that speedrunning is bad, honestly it’s ridiculously fun to watch people break games over their knees to get an insanely good time, but it should be something you watch after you’ve already enjoyed the game to the fullest extent as how the devs intended.

jfiddne also this isn’t me saying “you’re bad if you get into a game just to watch speedruns” idfc what you do with your time online, you do what you like to do, i’m just comparing two things together

#G muses #like it’s much less grindy to not know the percentages of an item drop #it’s much more fun for a thing to jus t *happen* when you’re not expecting it #rather than to grind for it for hours #however in some cases it’s pretty cool to know the probability of a thing happening #like in minecraft: a mob spawning with full diamond enchanted armor #in stardew: that one shrub hat that spawns when you cut weeds in the forest farm #idk i just had thoughts

spn finale and final thoughts!

finished watching al 15 fucking seasons of supernatural for the first time and i just -

with the exception of cherry picked scenes here and there that i like regarding claire or cas or dean/cas or jack (my special little guy!) it is objectively quite terrible in the later seasons. everyone that says it becomes the dean show is totally right. this did not have to be a problem. nevertheless, it is.

sam, who is unarguably the protaganist and main, luke-skywalker-esque figure of the first 5 seasons is COMPLETED sidelined (i can name like maybe three sam-centric plots/subplots in the entire last 5 seasons and one of them is the whole lucifer visions thing which is just ... bad) and idk who the writers thought they were writing but that was Not Dean Winchester. I am a dean apologist, a deangirl, he was my special little guy even as he went crazy with the mark (yes i think he was right to kill the human traffickers <3 you're doing great sweetie) and i can very easily say that most of the time i did not like him! his decisions didn't make sense! he didn't seem like himself! also why, WHY, would you write him as turning into john with regards to jack??? like?? what the fuck is up there?

not to mention the fact that the writing takes a long walk off a very short cliff. suddenly the horror elements vanish and characters lose all sense of depth and the misogyny gets even weirder and more in your face than before (which is impressive considering the first season started in 2005) and the pacing comes off the rails and they keep coming back to lucifer (which is my personal beef with them) and they reuse plot elements and it is just!! so clear!! that they wanted to milk this show for all it was worth and it got bad because of it!!

i think what irritates me so much about the fact that it got so bad is that like, on paper, there are a lot of interesting elements to their final seasons. the last season with the antagonist LITERALLY being a narrative?? being god the writer?? being the network, for all intents and purposes?? like tell me that wouldn't have been interesting to explore characters begging, pleading, with the audience to be let out of this endless cycle that's wearing them thin. where's the monologue that's remiscent of bilbo's "i feel like butter scraped over too much bread" line! and for that matter, if they were gonna have them be depressed about the fact that it's literally god who's been using them as puppets, why not go harder!! why not have them both literally burn out in ways that make sense for the character! dean going recklessly into every fight knowing he won't be killed off, sam doing darker and darker things just to see what the narrative would allow him to get away with!! or alternatively, some recognition that they exist in patterns, so seeing if breaking that pattern would do something different! would actively choosing to do something that normally would be odd make a difference! who knows! i think characters that are aware that they're characters (not in the deadpool way) would be so interesting to see on screen!!!

also they really use jack as a character prop, but that's a complaint for another post. he's just my little guy <3 i love him so much <3 he does not understand social cues and he is just doing his best <3

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

For decades, the blank vision that Iudex Neuvillette wears near his heart has been subject to much discussion in Fontaine. Nobody remembers who it had once belonged to or why the ancient dragon protected it so jealously. It is said that if the Chief Justice would to stare at it for a long while, it would be sure to rain right after. Oh, how beloved that person must've been.

"What do you mean you don't remember your first kiss?" Eddie asked, giving Steve that look he always got whenever he made the mistake of mentioning that piece of information about his past.

Steve shrugged, feeling uncomfortable and hoped Eddie would drop it. "I just don't remember it. Guess it wasn't memorable."

Eddie rolled his eyes, "You're telling me your first kiss wasn't memorable?"

"Yeah, man. It's whatever."

Now, both Eddie and Steve knew that was a lie. Not that Steve necessarily cared about something like a first kiss, but it bothered him that everyone seemed to have either a funny or sweet story to tell.

Like how Robin's first kiss had happened under a tree with her first girl crush, or how Nancy's first kiss only happened because the guy was kind of scared of her, or how Jonathan's first kiss only happened with Nancy.

"Do you remember yours?" Steve asked and Eddie nodded instantly.

"Of course I do."

Steve raised a brow at him and Eddie chuckled.

"It wasn't anything special, really. I kissed a guy under the bleachers and he never spoke to me again after that, the end."

Eddie was using that voice he always used whenever something bothered him.

"So it wasn't good," Steve said as he placed his hand on top of Eddie's. What was worse, not remembering your first kiss or feeling like shit about it?

"The kiss was ok. It was barely a kiss, I had no idea what to do with my hands and tongue and it was a little weird. Nothing to write home about, that's for sure. But I lost a friend that day and it really sucked. It made me think kisses are more powerful than they have any right to be."

And wasn't that the truth? Steve remembered other first kisses. Like his first kiss with Nancy, that he thought was gonna be the last first kiss of his life. He was wrong about that, of course.

"I know what you mean," Steve said. His hand was still on top of Eddie's but now Eddie was smiling.

And then he was grinning.

"I have an idea," he said, looking like a maniac. And Steve knew that couldn't be a good thing.

"Should I be scared?"

Eddie laughed. "Probably. What if..."

"Yeah?"

"We kissed."

Time seemed to stop for a second and then Steve was frowning at Eddie.

"What?"

"Yeah! Think about it, Steve," Eddie said, getting up. He always got restless when his brain started to work in full power. Steve thought it was kind of cute. "You can pretend this was your first kiss, so then when people tell you you can picture it and just make up some story about it."

Steve raised a brow, "I'm pretty sure that's not how first kisses work. Plus, what's in it for you? You remember your first kiss."

Eddie shrugged, throwing himself back on the couch and landing much closer to Steve than he was before. "Sure. But then I can will my brain to understand kisses don't have to mean something. This could just be a friendly kiss between two friends. Nothing else."

For some reason that didn't seem right, but Steve nodded anyway.

"Ok."

Eddie's eyes widened. "Ok?"

"Yeah, ok. Let's kiss and see what happens," Steve said. "What?"

Eddie bit his lower lip, "I don't know. I just didn't think you were gonna say yes."

Steve laughed, throwing his head back. Classic Eddie. His mouth was too big for his own good. Steve fucking loved it.

"Well, that's ok. I'll help you," Steve said, leaning in close.

He could see Eddie's eyelashes and the way his cheeks were tinted red. Steve placed a hand on the nape of his neck and heard the exact moment Eddies's breath hitched in his chest.

"Is this ok?" he asked. Eddie might talk a big talk but Steve wasn't about to cross any boundaries. If he said he was just joking Steve would pull back and pretend it had never happened.

But Eddie didn't, so Steve stayed. Close to him but still not kissing him.

"Y-yeah," Eddie said, nodding slightly. Steve smiled and buried his hand on Eddie's hair before leaning in and pressing their lips together.

The kiss was slow and sweet and Eddie was pliant on Steve's hand. For all his attitude, Steve kind of liked to shut him up like that.

Steve was about to pull back when Eddie whined in the back of his throat and pulled him close by the waist. He had no idea where all that came from but before he noticed he was straddling Eddie's lap and kissing him like his life depended on it.

Eddie tasted like cigarettes and Mountain Dew and Steve thought that combination might be his new favorite. He was so responsive as he kissed Steve back, opening his mouth and letting Steve explore as much as he wanted and all that while holding on to his hips.

Steve liked how Eddie's hands curled around him. Like they belonged there.

When it was becoming clear neither of them was interested in stopping, Steve pulled back so he could look at Eddie's face. All he could see was the pure want in his eyes.

"That's a pretty nice first kiss," Steve said playfully and Eddie snorted, squeezing at his waist.

"Oh, sweetheart. I'm glad," Eddie smiled at him and it was the greatest thing ever. "I can't say the same for my part of the deal though."

Steve frowned. "What do you mean?"

Eddie let his head fall back into the couch and closed his eyes. Steve felt his heart hammering in his chest. Had Eddie hated the kiss?

When he opened his eyes there was an intensity behind them that made Steve want to get up and run.

"I can't pretend it doesn't mean anything, Stevie."

Oh.

Before he knew it, Steve was leaning in and stealing another kiss from Eddie's lips. This time when they parted Steve didn't bother moving too far from him.

"Then don't."

Friendly reminder of the night that if you're trans and fat, you shouldn't feel obligated to lose weight to pass. You can be fat and femme, fat and masc or fat and androgynous, and you don't even need to "pass" if that's not what feels most comfortable/safe for you. You're no less trans or worthy of respect.

Its your skin, and the only person that it needs to bring comfort to is YOU. Not anyone's notion of gender.

#bakerspeakin #Uh idk how to tag this I just read something and had thoughts I wanted to share #Non-kink #If you want to lose weight I'm not here to stop you btw - whatever makes YOU most comfy is the most important #Its not just about society sometimes a physical change helps weather its losing or gaining weight

red is to spider-man as pink is to miles, in that pink is the color of: self-expression, confidence, compassion. if you side with miles, if you want to support his growth, you're going to be in pink

that being said...a pink robe can be removed, and pink hairdye can be washed out

please help i just had a dream where svsss was a dating sim. so, of course i tried pursuing shen qingqiu, but it ultimately backfired because suddenly he realized that he was in a dating visual novel?? and since i put myself as a guy, he just refused to show up to special in game events to avoid me interacting with him???

and obviously i was like "wtf why isn't he here?" when he didn't show up. then at some point i explored the area, and the screen suddenly zoomed in to show sqq talking to sqh (supposedly telling him all about the little situation). next thing i know, both of them are slowly turning their head to stare at the screen in pure and utter terror

also in some part of the dream, i think i did some liu qingge events or something and as his affection levels rose, he would continuously jump scare me by popping up out of nowhere and go, "its not like i like you or anything!!" while covered in blood and holding out a demonic beast head as if it were a box of treats

anyways, totally random question guys haha if i made an svsss visual novel dating sim would you guys play it. no reason in particular at all.

#im actually learning how to code right now #if i hyperfixate enough ill turn this to reality bc im kinda bad at writing fanfiction #no promises though #i prob had this dream bc i stayed up till 5 am last night playing a date with death #idk if dream liu qingge was accurate bc personally i see him more as just being like 'for you.' before leaving #but its a funny thought to have with liu qingge acting like that sporty emotionally constipated tsundere character lmao #anyways dw if i do make the game i would build a chaotic ass harem route jesus fucking christ that'd be hilarious #the scum villain's self saving system #svsss #mxtx svsss #shen qingqiu #shang qinghua #liu qingge #cumplane
