#my meets app

[starrystevie]

eddie’s going on a tinder date with a cute guy named steve.

he likes his freckles, brown eyes and cheeky grin. they don’t have much in common but the conversations they have in the app messages flows suspiciously easily. he’s a bit in love and antsy at the table as he watches the door anxiously for his date.

he sees person after person walk into the bar and his beer is dripping condensation onto his hand as he grips it, nerves shooting through the roof. eddie glances at the table and then back up to the door when a guy walks in and if eddie wasn’t waiting for his date, he’d want to go talk to him.

he’s cute, hot even, floppy brown hair and a charming grin, hands shoved into the pockets of his coat as he looks around the bar. his shirt clings to him in just the right way and his jeans fit him a bit too perfectly. eddie can’t help but stare and then the guy is staring back while he waves, ducking his head as he walks over.

“hey, eddie,” the man breathes out, his cheeks tinged pink from the wind. “sorry i'm late. parking was a bitch.”

and eddie’s confused. because this guy has brown eyes but not the ones he expected. freckles that are more spread out and distinct, trailing down to his neck instead of blanketing his face. his smile is perfect and he’s looking at eddie like he knows him. eddie’s a bit stunned, gaping at the guy with a slack jaw, because he’d remember someone as handsome as him if they’d met before.

“…hi?” he says like it's a question, taking a sip of his beer to do something with his hands.

he watches as the man’s eyebrows crease in confusion and the way his shirt stretches over his chest as he takes off his jacket. “it’s- i’m steve? you are eddie, right?”

eddie can feel his own eyebrows raising, wiping off his damp hand to fish his phone out of his pocket. he quickly finds steve’s profile, ignoring the messages they've sent each other over the past weeks that leave his stomach filled with butterflies, and pulls up the profile picture steve uploaded.

looking at it closely, he glances at who he thinks is steve, at the freckles dusting over his face and the toothy grin he's flashing at the camera. he's not exactly they type eddie usually goes for, but he's witty and sweet and knows about dnd, apparently, so what's not to love?

but then he looks at the other person in the picture that's slightly out of focused next to ‘steve’. looks at the two moles stark on the side of his neck, his pink tinted cheeks. the floopy brown hair and the pretty brown eyes and-

“steve?!” eddie exclaims, looking between the man in front of him and the picture on his phone. “you’re steve?”

the guy- steve- grins sheepishly, leaning on his elbows over the table to look at eddie’s eyes phone. he’s close, too close, close enough that eddie wants to-

“ohh,” he says and scratches at the back oh his head, eyes downturned with a blush trailing up his neck. “yeah, maybe i shouldn’t have used a group photo for a dating app.”

“so who did i think you were?”

their eyes meet and even in the dim bar light, eddie finds himself falling into the specks of green he sees. steve looks at the phone quickly then back up with a smirk. “my best friend, tommy. he’s kind of an asshole, though. you’re better off with me.”

“is that so?” eddie leans back, taking a sip of his beer, and really takes in his date that he now knows is steve. his toned arms, his broad shoulders, his pretty pink cheeks and pretty pink lips.

“what, are you disappointed?”

steve smiles gently and it lights up his face in a way eddie isn’t expecting. between the way he looks in a dingy bar and the way talking with steve is easier than any date he’s had before, he can’t imagine what disappointment he could ever possibly feel knowing that his date is who he is.

suddenly there’s a foot hooking around his ankle and it sends goosebumps tingling up his spine. steve’s smile softens just a bit and eddie can feel himself mirroring it back, letting out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

“i don’t think disappointed’s the right word.”

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

#writeblr #warm up #i can't write rn but i have SO much words in here bc im reading the chorus of dragons books #(just started book 4) #and this woman's writing is just LIVING in my brain. let me out!!! #(i read roughly like 2-4 books a week usually bc i go on long walks with my dog but when a book is REALLY good like. it eats my life. ) #anyway ...... so like here's a story that idk i've tried to explain to other people as being wild #but maybe im the only one who thinks it is wild??? #so i play pokemon go (i just started in jan) bc i love pokemon and as i have mentioned i walk goblin for like an hour in the morning #and i don't like a lot of fitness trackers due to the fact it makes me .sad. but i also wanted the little digital rewards. enter pokemon go #anyway so they make you make friends to complete quests. so i used a reddit thread. i do not usually use reddit. i don't have an acct #i lurked. i just googled like ''pokemon go reddit '' and randomly added a bunch of numbers #i was on that page for all of 15 minutes. there are THOUSANDS of responses on that page. #here's what's wild: in that group of people. even though i am not on reddit and it was one random event once #it turns out one of those people lives in the town i live in. or at least very close. i only know this because #when we send each other gifts. it's from the same freaking area. #i can't ask them to meet up bc pokemon go doesn't have a messaging app lol but like . what are the fucking chances that #a random person posts in a random reddit thread and HAPPENS to get added by someone ELSE from their SAME TOWN #who by pure fucking CHANCE is ALSO playing pokemon go and looking for friends #i googled it there's only 42000 people in my broad region. the .......... smallness ! of the world!!!

Karen has four older brothers and this is Ross! He's the second oldest and he looks rather polite and smiles a lot and when he's at work he can behave most of the time... but he really has such a foul mouth it puts Right to shame.

And Karen when she was a kid couldn't pronounce S's and they sounded like Z's. So when her brothers would be leaving for school she would say "enjoy zool" and just. Could NEVER say Ross's name correctly so he told her to just call him Oz. And it stuck but only with Karen. She's the only one to use it and no one else is allowed.

#my characters #also fun fact she has decided to legally rename him for when shes mad at him #so instead of yelling his full proper name #she will yell OSWALD THOMAS WILSON which is the fake first name but actual middle/last #and its just thats a guy that she wouldnt want to admit to knowing if she saw him in public #hes actually p short so yeah hes a short king #the oldest bro and the second youngest are both taller #the middle middle is basically the same height as him so karen really is just the wittle bab #and all her brothers are super protective of her bc thats their baby sister #she does however have a strong sense of I GOTTA PROTECT THE MIDDLE GUY #so she is kinda used to standing up for older guys just bc of he #but it comes into being a problem when she meets rick and is like fuck it he may be older but #he is too kinda for this world and also theres no way i can love him hes basically a baby brother #and she will pick on him but also would absolutely throw hands for him #and and i know the tags are long as is but eventually karen and rick move past the whole youre like a brother vibe #and they become very good friends - still zero romance involved - but she starts to treat him less like a family member #and it makes him feel less awkward and in turn he feels more open to joke sometimes #cause for a long while rick is just this is really awkward and i wish we would stop matching on dating apps but she wont leave me alone #so its rude to turn her down when she offers a friendly drink to check up on me #but its actually karen being protective older sister mode despite being the youngest of five #this is the most i have managed to draw in like two weeks i think #now im super tired bye

on the one hand we have many people treating me like Mrs. Bennet trying to marry off her daughters, just like Maria pls date someone go on a date once, anyone, just GO, get out there and then on the other hand we have my mom saying she doesn’t think you should try to make Romance happen but only take opportunities as they come if you want to. so.

#these are too personal for a post I should have put it in the tags #but another source of anxiety! #I don’t feel any desire to be on a dating app i am happy with how things are right now #but people can make you feel so weird 😭😭😭 #like just. Maria you have soooooo many walls up you HAVE to get out there #sometimes it does make me question if something is wrong with me #but then I’m like ? ??? that just seems so panick-y and awful #to be like oh noooo I’m TOO comfortable I’m just hiding from reality #like surely on this matter we can all just trust God right? #not saying you can’t be trying to meet people or take opportunities! but just #I don’t see any human way to manufacture something that I personally would be happy with #I think it’s all out of my hands and I’m okay with that #most of the time!!!!!! until people make me overthink it

Aziraphale finally upgrades to a smartphone and

Crowley has an iPhone. Aziraphale knows Crowley has an iPhone. But he gets an Android device, because they're more customizable and he means to root the new phone anyway and install his own programs.

Of course this means Facetiming is now impossible.

The two angels, fallen and otherwise, have a very heated discussion about this incompatibility issue. Eventually there is a compromise and they both agree to install an additional messaging app in order to communicate by video chat. So Crowley is on Telegram, and Aziraphale is on Line.

Look, they're just going to have to meet in person...

#aziraphale #crowley #ineffable idiots #ineffable husbands #good omens #aziraphale would think of apps as programs #especially since he'll be programming #what like formal logic is hard? #aziraphale says while sipping his cocoa #and writing an algorithm that by all rights should run in double exponential time #(meaning it'll be sometime after the heat death of the universe before it's solved) #and yet it will work in polynomial time #again not hard my dears; eminently computable #i suppose i could have gotten it to work in logarithmic time but i got a bit lazy #and besides i have somewhere to go #aziraphale says as he puts in his coat to go meet crowley

Because the Sandman show has moved the timeline for Season of the mist, that’s not how Edwin and Charles met in their show. I think they’re gonna do the simplest solution to this and just cut the bits related to it and change what they need to.

Edwin’s still gonna die as a sacrifice but the wording of “dragged away by a demon” means they’ve changed it so the ritual the bullies do actually works. Then it says “before escaping” so if there’s no season of the mist yet to cause Hell to be emptied, I’m thinking since he was dragged to hell by a demon instead of being sent there for other reasons, he was able to find a way out. Which would also play into how they’re characterizing them in the show as “brains and brawn”.

Charles is still going to be attacked by bullies at the school, I don’t know if it’ll be the same bullies that killed Edwin and there ghosts are just haunting st. Hilarions or if he gets killed by a different batch of murderous school boys.

In the doom patrol version Charles dies of hypothermia after being forced into a lake by his peers. Maybe they’ll stick with that.

#I’m gonna make another post talking about how I’m not a huge fan of that change because they way the boys meet really sets my love for them #dead boy detectives #edwin payne #charles rowland #Btw I use the tumblr app mostly but I literally had to open the website to add image descriptions because you can’t paste on mobile. #Very annoying

hmm if I created a comic/webtoon, should I upload it only on webtoon, or like create another blog just to post it? I mean I could do both probably, webtoon in general kinda sucks and It'd be cool for my comic to be accessible in other places too...

#I'm like 75 percent done drawing the pilot chapter #i have to color it tho #and start the script for the technical first chapter #pilot is just val and sam fucking around #first chapter is how they meet pretty much #started drawing the pilot in febuary but had to pause it for college apps 😔 #the thing is that I don't really plan on having a consistent upload schedule bc this isn't like a full time thing #and id also like to enjoy my youth #idk... i'm just drawin stuff for now

i'm in this weird spot where i have been single for years and i'd like to date but i am also afraid of people and constantly coming up with excuses not to do it. because really Who Has The Time And Energy

#people are always like oh izzy you're super hot and you have rizz #i can tell i have a lot going for me #and i LOVE people i've been making a ton of friends #but the idea of dating. hm. frightening. i take a nap right here. instead. #i tried the apps and stuff and i just never get to the point of meeting anybody #but alas if i want my moonlight kiss i gotta learn to nut up and do it

your opinion on online dating/dating apps

I feel like they’ve reduced people to products. You have to curate your image to fit whoever’s swiping, and you have to be okay w being judged against an array of other people. Just feels a little dehumanizing. I get that dating irl is also about vetting people, but at least it comes w organically being acquainted w other people’s personalities through actual scenarios & physical cues.

That said, I know that people are juggling busy lives now more than ever, so I don’t judge anyone who uses dating apps. But if you have the luxury to apply yourself to the real world, and are not one of these extremely busy people, I would just do that instead. Dating apps can get easily addicting (have multiple friends I can attest to this with), and seeing people as commodities is the last thing we need to fully normalize.

#tldr it’s a good resource if you ABSOLUTELY cannot afford taking the time to meet someone irl #but I feel like most people do #and in that case dating apps do more harm than good #ask me my opinion on something
