When I went to university, there was a guy a year or so above me who was famous across the whole department because he was super nice, super gorgeous, and went jogging regularly while shirtless and wearing very tiny very short bright red shorts. And so everyone called him Beautiful Dave. Genuinely! Not an insult in the slightest. He was Beautiful and people needed to know!
And listen. LISTEN. That's Steve.
Hot college student who loves to get up early and go jogging shirtless and in his old basketball shorts.
Him, Robin, and Eddie all move up to Chicago together. Robin studies languages, Steve studies to be a paramedic or a physical therapist or something, Eddie fucks around and gets a job bc he has had enough of academia. They all get a shitty apartment near their college campus together and Steve finds he likes academia a lot more when it's something he cares about. He joins the swim team, he makes friends, and he finds out one day that people have started referring to him as Beautiful Steve.
He worries at first that it's another King Steve thing, but it's not! People genuinely think he's absolutely beautiful and super nice and friendly. And so he kind of... goes along with it. He'll go jogging in his short shorts and people will greet him as Beautiful Steve and he responds with a smile and a wave.
Robin and Eddie find out while on campus one day when a group of people call him Beautiful Steve and he responds. Steve tells them that people started calling him that and It's the best day of their lives. Because that's their Steve! Their Steve is Beautiful Steve!! And they're nice about it because I want fluff and silly happiness and people are too mean to Steve
MOMO I CANT COPE. YOU ARE TRULY WIRED DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE
Robin and Eddie FULL SCALE endorsing beautiful Steve!!! They get so into it they get the student to eventually treat him like a cryptid in that there’s sticks and badges of ‘I believe in beautiful Steve’ and it’s over a pair of illustrated red shorts. It’s a fun way of making some side income for them all and Steve gets a kick out of it.
Campus legend Beautiful Steve but it never becomes a creepy or uncomfortable thing. Everyone just enjoying what has organically grown from it all. He ends up as a ‘wheres Wally’ situation on the campus brochure. Never centre stage, always in the background and happily so.
He goes out on placement for his course and get a warm welcome on his return. Getting nods and waves and feeling like he has a Place here in his own way. Eddie and Robin observing it all and delighting at the smile it brings to Steve’s face every time. He may be Beautiful Steve to the uni but he’s Their Steve first and he won’t let them forget that

im just thinking about texting osamu wishing him a happy holidays.
he’s your former employer who signed your most recent paystub. you’ve moved on now to better opportunities. onigiri miya closed down for an evening yet still full and warm and bright with employees rejoicing the change in your life and mourning you leaving the team.
and you’re out with your friends. lights have been strung up overnight and the city feels different. it’s lively, beautiful. your friends are hilarious and yet, as you pass by a restaurant that serves nothing remotely close to onigiri, you yearn.
it must be the mop cleaner they use, you reason. that familiar scent is unmistakable.
the night goes on with karaoke and fried goodness and gifts exchanging. you find yourself tucked in the back of a cab close to midnight with your friend’s mouth resting right above your ear, bringing in small snores.
to pass the time, you scroll on your phone through old photos. there’s your friends who’d taken your device captive while you went to the restroom, a selfie of you all in front of a sprinkling fountain. a smile adorns your lips until you scroll too far.
the sight of a thick armed man beside you as you blow out congratulatory candles makes you yearn. it’s cold all too sudden and not even scooting closer to your friend for just a smidgen more of body warmth can soothe you.
and life truly is good. you are so thankful for the fun you’ve had and for the impenetrable routine of changing seasons that you must say something.
you pull up osamu’s contact and the history alone shows your previous relationship. it’s littered with shift requests and warnings on your end that you’re running late. never did it go deeper because that relationship has been established.
but you’ve gained distance and for once, it’s a good thing. his last correspondence was one week ago.
i’ll miss having ya but i know you’re amazing. good luck out there
you take that luck and hope the he responds in kind.
i’m out here and i’m doing great! happy holidays osamu!

Alright. I want you all made perfectly aware that I have completely cut support for Wilbur soot and any associated projects. I find his "apology" to be disingenuous and trashy damage control, and it undermines whatever desire he has to improve, however genuine that is.
I 100% support Shelby and any victim of such disgusting behaviour, i commend them for their courage, and I wish them nothing but prosperity, support, and happiness. I will always value their peace over whatever art he made. I'll find other fucking art.
