Playing truth or dare with Billy Hargrove was a horrible idea. Terrible, really, in that Billy Hargrove is one of those people who just takes.

It had started on the basketball court, hard line of Billy's body right behind him.

"Harrington, truth or dare"

And because he was panting, focused for the last 47 minutes on the game and the ball and the net, because he's had Billy in his ear this whole time and Steve just wants him to fuck off, he says "Dare"

"I dare you to miss"

And Steve slips through an opening around Billy, an opening Billy gave him to make his shot, and Steve misses. He fucking missed the shot. And Billy howls and taunts and winks, "knew you couldn't pass up a dare", but the thing is, Steve didn't do it on purpose. He wasn't trying to fulfill the dare, he just fucking missed, but Billy looked so elated in that moment that Steve just huffed and carried on.

Days later, Steve drops Mike and Lucas at the arcade and Billy is there, smoking a cigarette against the side of his car. Steve pulls up near him, can't say why, and the kids run out. It's while Steve glares Billy's way that he realizes why he parked so close; because the overcast sky was highlighting the bruising along Billy's left side, temple to jaw and cutting across his mouth.

"What happened to you" Steve blurts out. The grin Billy gives him is theatrical in its extremity, canines out and eyes hard.

"Truth or dare, Harrington"

Steve eyes him up and down and says, "Truth"

Billy drags from his cigarette, head tilted back and to the side, showing some throat. "Anyone ever loved you?"

And wasn't that some shit.

Steve scoffed, throat tight on an inhale and fingers gripping tight on the steering wheel and eyelids straining to close tight too. He scoffed and he looked away and he reversed the fuck out. But then, then, before he could hit the gas and before he was too far to hear, Steve said to Billy, "Sure, someone, maybe"

And that's how it turned into Billy's own little game. Truth or dare, played on the court and in the halls and at the diner. Played in the lockers and the parking lots and the dead eyed quarry where Steve could drive up and find Billy too close to the edge, looking far gone.

"Truth or dare, Harrington"

"Dare"

"I dare you to think about jumping"

Steve scrunched up his nose. "Thought about it"

"Scared?" Billy grins.

Steve thought about that, too. He settled on, "Stupid"

And Billy ignites with laughter, lights up and sounds off and it echoes through the darkness. Steve smiles.

"Truth or dare"

"Truth"

"Where's your English paper?"

"Uh, right here?"

And Billy snags it away for the following period before handing it back like nothing happened. Steve has no idea what happened.

"Truth or dare"

"Ugh, dare"

"Dare you to take six shots with me"

"Six? No fucking way!"

"Cmon, Harrington, it's a dare"

"Jesus fuck"

Steve doesn't remember much else of that particular party, but there was a moment of clarity when Billy had his arm thrown around Steve and they both laughed and laughed over their increasingly ridiculous dares. Steve dared Billy to trip Rebecca Smithers into her boyfriends drink, Billy dared Steve to hold onto any girls skirt for five minutes straight. It was ridiculous and it made Steve's face hurt until he was too numb to feel anything.

It went on and on. And Billy wouldn't stop.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

#art #artists on tumblr #bitches will say ''in what context are these colors pretty'' #and then post the delicate hues of sunlight filtering through the leaves of a forest in late springtime #edit: censored the other op bc some of yall are starting to scare me and i don't want them getting harassed #and as long as im here. stop telling me it's the shrek colors i know it's the shrek colors #everybody and their mother has already mentioned it's the shrek colors

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

#like im not gonna name names but i can think of at least 3 channels #where they stopped posting short form content and went #wait the patreon is paying my rent im no longer a slave to the algorithm gods #HELL YEAH TIME TO SPEND 5+ MONTHS PUTTING TOGETHER A 3+ HOUR VIDEO #and i eat that shit up every time

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

[skrunksthatwunk]

see 0 note flop posts aren't that bad when they're personal but 0 note fandom posts feel literally so bad. like if you don't wanna play toys with me anymore just say that. i'll pack up my super cool awesome things and go and i'll sit on the other side of the playground by myself and i won't even look at you. fuck

#yes i AM thinking about a particular post. no it wasn't that good but still. a moment of heartache for sure #like it feels so bad but im too prou dto delete it and also too lazy

They’ll never do a Hitman level set in a Furry Convention because gamers would absolutely ruin it but imagine. like the target isn’t a furry he just owns a hotel that happens to have one every year but you can disguise yourself in a fursuit and some guy will ask you “what species is your sona” and 47 would be like “a wolf. i always felt a connection with…hunters.” and then diana would be like “let’s see if you can sniff out some information, furrty-seven” and then he comes to my house and kills me for writing this

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it's equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there's something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel's eyeline.

first you have to remember that the first disco ball was painstakingly put together by hand from nothing but an idea and lots of intricately cut glass and bandaids and then you have to think about the experience of being under a disco ball for the very first time, bathed in reflections of an era that has not yet come to past, and finally you end up wondering what else there is around you that has yet to be unearthed by something with so much as a silly name

#look at my disco ball post boy #im deeply unwell this evening #will try again tomorrow 👍 #personal
