I’m having an ‘oh’ moment while you bandage my hand, man

MY THOUGHTS FOR THIS ONE ARE IN THE TAGS :)

#steddie #steddie fanart #eddie munson #steve harrington #its late.. or early depending how you look at it #neither of them have been sleeping much or spending time on their own #the nightmares you know #an especially brutal one has eddie a little out of it #his bandages (from injuries that could have been worse) have become loose or soiled from his restless night #so steve sits him down and helps fix them up #he can see eddies still shaken so he just.. talks #about anything really #and eddie slowly comes back to himself #and now he’s just looking at steve.. who’s huffing out a laugh at whatever he’s said.. smiling at the memory of it #eyes crinkling at the corners and thats when it kind of hits #the ‘oh’ #not an ‘oh shit’ this time but a simple ‘oh’ #a happy one for now too #because he is.. happy. he’s not alone.. he doesn’t have to be.. and Steve’s showing him that #through late night talks.. matching dark circles and grounding touches #with stories and music and late night drives #and thats enough.. more than really #he’s at the tipping point.. knows the fall will be coming in the next few weeks- maybe months #but he doesn’t care #not when steve finally looks up at him… wide eyed and cradling eddies hand between two of his.. soft smile on his face and asks ‘you ok?’ #and when eddie (who’s a little misty eyed) smiles back and replies ‘all good’ #right here.. in this moment- he really is #:) #THANKS FOR VOTING FOR IT

Ja’marr saying that just Joe being present uplifted the team 🥹

Despite the fact that he wasn't able to be on the field, how was he keeping the team in great spirits?

Honestly [Joe's] presence is enough. I honestly told him that one day, he probably thought I was joking. But just him bringing his presence to practice, him being around us at practice, brings joy to some of the guys' faces. Especially when we're out there just running routes and we just see Joe come and walking over, you know it brightens everyone's day and brings more energy to the practice.

#oh my god 😭😭 #ja'marr had soooo much to say about how joe's presence is so important!! #joe just being there brings smiles to everyone's faces!! #brightens everyone's day!!! #(maybe no one more so than ja'marr but he's just gonna apply it to the whole team 🥲) #and ja'marr sincerely told him this!! and joe thought he was joking!!! #the way these two communicate!! it keeps me up at night!! #he's just running routes at practice...sees joe and instantly feels his day is brightened....he tells him this fact #joe laughs him off #ahhhHHHHHHH #thank you anon i hadn't noticed this was uploaded yesterday THANK YOU #if nobody else got me (my youtube algorithm) i know my anons got me <3 #ja'marr chase #joe burrow #tee higgins

continuing with the vibe from earlier, pre-whatever canon dabi is truly, genuinely just horrible.

a surface glance wouldn't show anything more than an acquaintance-ship, but there's just something weird and different in the way you two are around each other. it's not super often, but when you are, you either enjoy a content silence or share a conversation that's only just riveting enough to keep you both present.

you ask him things about himself that he doesn't want to answer, that he refuses to, but you just kind of roll your eyes and try to hide your smile when he says something smart in response. you share a drink or two. a glance that feels too curious. there's not enough touching involved to be considered significant, but at one point you share the same breath and the air is so immediately tense and severe that you know you've crossed some kind of line no one else has with him.

but—it's undefined. unacknowledged, in truth, and dabi doesn't ever approach you on his own, nor does he give you his attention if he can keep it to himself. it's entirely too confusing, but what could you expect from a man of his status? asking for any clarification would only give you the kind of harsh end you don't want.

you leave it alone, for the most part. let it grow when it can, but you don't overdo it; if you and dabi happen to find yourself at the same club at night, you'll share a wave and maybe even have a quick chat with him outside as he smokes a cigarette.

which is exactly what you intend to do—before a man buys you a drink at the bar.

he's handsome and flirty enough that you let him, entertain his small talk and laugh at the cheap, somewhat raunchy jokes he tells you. it's all genuine, and while dabi is still lingering at the back of your mind—at the back of this club, somewhere—you allow yourself to be appreciated in the way a normal man would. not some wordless cat-and-mouse game that's too confusing to be even a little upset about.

you don't even know where dabi went, when the man excuses himself to run to the bathroom, and you do peek around for him. you really do want to have a quick chat before either of you leave because you don't know when it will be that you see him again, and you like to make the most of your chances. there's some thrilling side of you, too, that wonders if he even cares at all about the drink in your hand, or the man who bought it.

that question is answered—wordlessly, as always—in a horrific fit of chaos.

a thick cloud of smoke spreads through the club like wildfire, bringing screams of terror and a panicked mob with it. people are trampling over themselves to get from one side of the building to the doors; drinks are being flung and shoes are being lost and some are even on their knees, vomiting.

dabi follows the crowd lazily, lit cigarette in hand. there's a frightening char to his fingers that you know didn't come from just that, but he passes you without saying anything. only staring, tense and severe, before shuffling out with the rest.

and you finally see, at the back, the remains of your flirty, handsome man: whole, for the most part, except for the partfectly shaped handprint that's been seared through to his skull.

#✿ thoughts: dabi/touya #he's like yeah yeah yeah cool cool cool i will incinerate any other man that looks at you #NO he DOES NOT care 😒😒😒😒 but that doesn't mean someone else is allowed to !!!!! #akcndjsjakq #and he's very calm about it. unbothered. not even something he gives a lot of thought about. #he just sees the guy stop you at the bar sees you smile sees you laugh sees the hand his puts on your knee #and then follows him to the bathroom and melts his face off 🤷‍♂️ #that's all 🤷‍♂️ #not a big deal !!! #he's literally so chill about it !!!!!

What would I do to see you smiling at me?

like, ultimately, spn could never actually break the cycle of abuse and familial violence, bc to truly break the cycle would've required its writers to have the radical imaginary to look beyond the status quo. the show just reifies the idea of a paternal authority over the world. god dies but he has to be replaced you see, but it's okay, it's someone better now. family is hell but now family is also heaven.

#american liberal belief that you can make the world a better place if you just vote in someone better #OK that is. enough nonsense from me today #how i would've ended spn: no more god no more demons or angels or heaven or hell or the supernatural. only reality!!! #sam and dean go on a road trip but they go see something fun like that biggest ball of twine again. they get out of the car. #(dean off in the distance laughing. he looks carefree for the first time in a while) (sam is smiling with him) #sam looks back at the impala and you're left with the weird feeling the two of them are just. not gonna get back into it. END SCENE #anyways. more motivation for me to work on my own wips #yeah here's two horrible siblings but how do i write them out of the maze in a way that matters!! #^ comical realisations at returning to old novel drafts post experiencing spn. maybe sam and dean have always lived here #even before i knew them........ #j.txt

mulder not owning a bed is such a minor character detail that’s encompassing of practically the entirety of who he is, which is so crazy honestly

#chris carter’s faustian deal etc etc #he does not ever stop he does not ever rest he does not ever sleep #he does not allow himself a moment’s comfort or affection or softness #and the thing is that you don’t even know he doesn’t have a bed at first #you just kind of notice that you never see him sleep #unless it’s on the couch in his clothes with the tv on #but then they kind of poke fun at it #like van blundt’s ‘where do i SLEEP?’ in his apartment #and the first ever peek into his bedroom in s6 #that he does have one #it’s just stacked floor to ceiling with boxes #and it's so strange and unusual that it stands out in a way that makes you HAVE to clock these things about him #that he usually can try to hide in a well placed joke or reassuring smile #behind a shut door when there are lamps and blankets and framed artwork in the main room #he’s so outwardly kind and gentle that you don’t see it at first #the extent of how self-punishing and driven mad with guilt he is #until the show opens a door and almost points and laughs

I want to make a sincere apology to Zac Oyama — for I, a disgrace, could not fully appreciate his subtle but powerful talent within the field comedy, as I am lost in his adorable face and smile.

#zac oyama #d20 #dropout #dimension 20 #i want to love him for his personality and talent alone but I can’t help but find him super adorable and he’s adorable I can’t #he’s indeed a talented man though #i’m just a disgrace hahahahhaha #his laugh and smile can make my heart go weak anytime of the day #respectfully having a parasocial crush to a micro celebrity here nothing to see

Inspired by this godly post which unlocked a part of my brain I didn't know existed, and solidly gave me complete and utterly brainrot until I wrote something

A thousand thanks to Lily for her wonderful help :))

"Does Kelly not mind you spending all your time with me?" Daniel asks, because she's Daniel and once she's thought something she can't keep her fucking mouth shut, even if she knows it's trouble.

Max looks up, pausing his set of weights, and blinks at her. Daniel feels her cheeks warm. One day, that mouth of yours will run you straight into trouble, young lady, her mum used to tell her, voice firm. Good girls know when to keep quiet. Daniel used to just laugh at the warning. Her laugh is loud and the opposite of quiet, but she used to know that everyone always loved her laugh.

"No," Max says after a beat and then continues lifting. Daniel hates the way her gaze tracks over him, lingering on the movement of his muscles, the ease with which he lifts the weight. Tawny hair brushed out of his eyes, cheeks dusted warm from the exertion. "Of course not."

"Why of course not?" Daniel asks. She wants to sew her mouth shut. This time, Max didn't look over as he answers.

"Kelly's very secure, she's not like other girls. And besides, she knows you."

It's strange. When Daniel was seven and Michelle eleven, they'd gone rock pool fishing. Michelle had been crouched over a shallow pool of water, her finger delicately brushing the tentacles of the anemone. Daniel had been scaling the rocks, wanting steeper, taller, more.

She'd found the shark first, nestled high at between the rocks, and for a beat she hadn't known what she was looking at. Just details, but nothing collective. Rotting smell. Shrivelled holes where eyes should be. Scales of silver lightning. Rubbery fish picked clean. The flash of bone, pearl white.

Then she realised what she was staring at, and screamed. Her father held her while her mother scolded her. I told you not to go climbing! It's too dangerous, Daniel. Why can't you just be good like your sister and stay by the shallow pools?

And then, later, ice cream. Her dad, beside her, explaining the horror away.

It's just nature, Dani. The waves wash them up, and they get stuck there. They can't get back to the sea, and then the sun dries them out.

They drown on air, Michelle helpfully pointed out, her feet kicking happily as she licked her 99. Daniel just just nodded, ice cream untouched. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the sunken holes, the rotting flesh.

She hasn't thought about that moment for years, but suddenly it washes back over her. She feels simultaneously both. The child, staring at the carcass, frozen in shock. The shark, burning up in the sun, chocking on air.

"What does that mean?" She asks, and somehow her voice is normal, is fine. She's fine. She's not a girl or a shark. She's stupid and a fool and a gawky, ugly idiot, but she's fine.

Max manages to shrug, even with the 50kg weights. "You know. Just that Kelly knows you. She knows what you're like. And she knows me too, of course."

Daniel swallows. She nods. She hates everything about herself.

"That's sexist," she forces herself to say lightly because if the silence stretches anymore, Max might notice and set his weights down and look at her, and Daniel can't bear that. She doesn't want his eyes on her, taking in every blemish and imperfection. The boyish, ratty clothes she works out in and her curls gone frizzy with sweat and her inked skin, so different to Max and Kelly's pale, perfect complexions.

"What's sexist?"

"Saying she's not like other girls," Daniel tells him, setting down the weights she been doing. Instead, she goes to grab the skipping rope, just for something to do.

Max laughs. Daniel's glad she's turned away. Her cheeks are burning again.

"It's the truth. You, of course, Daniel, are not like other girls either." He says it lightly and ends with a chuckle, as if it's all just a joke. Daniel drags a sweaty hand over her cheeks. Burning, burning, burning.

Apparently, in Max's mind, she and Kelly are the same; both not like other girls. Kelly, with her faultless makeup and wonderful daughter and classy dresses and perfect feminity. One end of the scale. Daniel, the other. Barely even considered "a girl." Always one of the boys, only woman in f1 for a reason.

"Thanks," Daniel says. She wants to make it sound humorous, like she's in on the joke too. Instead, it's too cold; muttered as if she actually gave two shits about the conversation anyway. She has an F1 season to prepare for, she's too busy to care about stupid shit like this.

There's a beat of silence as Daniel stretches out the rope, feeling the plastic flex and give. Then, Max exhaling, the gentle bump of his weights against the floor, the workout bench shifting as his centre of gravity changes. Daniel keeps her back to him, ignoring it all.

"I did not mean it as insult," Max finally says, stubborn. Daniel forces a laugh, turning to give him a smile, all teeth.

"Of course not Maxy. I get that." Voice light and blithe. One of the boys.

She thinks he'll drop it, but instead, his frown only grows. Pinched brows, thin lips, cheeks growing blotchy. Blue eyes regard her, intense and unyielding. She burns from the inside out.

"I've upset you," he says, in that blunt, genuine way only he can do. Daniel barks out another laugh.

"Don't be stupid. You're not important enough to ever be able to get under my skin." She gives him another smile with only teeth. She feels insane. Her mother tells her good girls stay quiet.

"I'm sorry," he tries again, growing frustrated now, "I did not mean -"

"I told you, you didn't upset me," she drops the skipping rope without actually using it. "Anyway, I'm bored. Wanna get lunch now? Or are you still trying to pump those muscle with more testosterone?"

Max gives her one last, searching look before standing. They're almost the same height. She wants to shrink to nothing.

"That is not how testosterone works, Daniel," he says with the air of an overworked teacher. He looks at her with a smile, uncertain but genuine. She laughs, allowing him to move the conversation on.

She walks out of the gym first but holds the door for him. He grins, relieved. His fingers skim hers as he takes it and she lets go. A chill runs through her. Cold like scales, cold like ice cream untouched.

#whole lot of internalised misogyny to unpack here #in my head Daniel is looking like Tash Sultana in the music video for “Jungle” #Max just meaning :))) Kelly knows you and she knows me :))) and she knows we are both two good people who would not cheat :))) #while Daniel just going into an existential crisis of #:((( Kelly knows Max and I :((( and I am zero threat to her because I must be utterly undesirable :((( and not Max's type at all :((( #maxiel #girl!Daniel #for the first time ever lol #my fic #ending involves the tension between them growing and growing #and Kelly watches them share a podium and sees the way Max wraps his arm around Daniel's shoulder and hugs her tightly #and the way Daniel laughs so happily and loudly everyone can hear her #and suddenly Kelly realises she had been wrong and Daniel was a threat #and basically gives Max an ultimate to choose one of them and stop all contact with the other #somehow Daniel finds out and just locks herself away from the world during summer break because it's not even a question who max will pick #and their story ends with Max knocking on her door with looking annoyed with a bunch of drooping flowers #and before Daniel can even say anything he's stepping into her apartment and getting a vase from her cupboard #while complaining about how he ordered the flowers that morning but the florist fucked up his order and of course the flourists in the #Netherlands are much better and soon he will take Daniel there and pick proper flowers like tulips for her #she stares at him in pure disbelief and then starts to laugh. and Max looks over and laughs too and they're still smiling when they kiss #:))))) #apologies but I'm a sucker for a soppy cliched ending lol

there is something very sad about Peg just wanting to tell BJ about her day to day life, the mundane things in the house that need to be fixed and the funny things that happen to her, all things he would've enjoyed hearing about or would've handled with her if he'd been there, and having absolutely no idea what effect these letters actually have on him

#mash #peg hunnicutt #bj hunnicutt #hi I need to be in my feelings about the Hunnicutts #because I keep seeing posts about Peg's letters acting like she's deliberately setting him off somehow and they annoy me #she is literally just describing her day to day life she is filling pages with mundane chores and tasks and encounters #telling him every little thing that happens that made her laugh #because she loves him and misses him #and she wants him to know everything that's happening while he's away #she has absolutely no idea that BJ loses his goddamn mind over some of these #how would she know how he gets over the gutters? the kitchen flooding? #those are day to day things that just happen #all she's doing is rambling on in letters because she has to tell him every little thing every day because she loves him #she's writing these things thinking he'll just smile maybe have a laugh #because thats what he would've done when he was home with her #and thats why its so sad #she doesn't know these things dont make him smile #she doesnt know how much he's changing #she doesnt know how much he's already changed

[lanternlightss]

thinking about how nameless bard mostly frowns in the boy and the whirlwind cutscene. thinking about how most arts and scenes of venti depict him with a smile. thinking about venti looking in glass windows or the reflection in ponds and lakes, poking at his smile with both index fingers. thinking about venti staring at his own happiness and feeling a sense of wrong about it—this is his friend’s face, yes, but not how his friend smiled. this is wholly venti’s; something he has practiced for years, centuries, to be as perfectly human as possible.

(thinking about how if you break down enough walls, if you get him to laugh just enough, if you squint a little—his smile then would look exactly like his friend’s had. a wide, crooked, lovely thing.)

#hi. sorry. im pretty sure this has been said before by someone #im just thinking about how most arts of nameless bard depict him grinning #and like go bard go you FULLY deserve any amount of happiness and joy given to you i am cheering as loud as possible #but also. thinking. thoughts #and wondering if venti purposefully replaces sullen expressions with upbeats and giggles #if he looks in mirrors and sees a dead eyed bard looking back. if he laughs and says a joke so the smile he gives doesn’t feel as forced #his friend shouldn’t see the world as dull and grey anymore #look at the joy. look how it spreads #isnt it wonderful? and you’re experiencing it too #anyways is it obvious the bards are hitting me with the brainrot bat #(<- just watched an animatic and is feeling Feelings) #lantern says stuff #hmmm
