Hey!! Just saw your post about comments and I wanted to say that I often forget to comment, but I wanted to show my appreciation for what you are doing!!

I started following you for your flip your coin series and I was so happy to see you writing for PotBabe (and that for Kenta and Kim)! Kenta is hands-down my fave character in the series (Jeff is in 2nd place), just bcs I love how complex he is! And I get to let go of my frustration with how the show handles him with your fanfictions! I can‘t wait to read more from you (regardless in which fandom you write) and I realised just hitting on kudos is not going to show my love for your work. I will work harder!! Thank you for your hard work!

Always amazing to see people following from fandom to fandom haha. I don't know why we latched on to this pairing and to Kenta like this, sometimes there is no sensible explanation. I'm so frustrated they didn't make it true in the series but well, that's why we have fanfics.

Thank you very much for this. I don't want to look demanding or rude but comments truly are the heart of all this. Bookmarks and kudos are nice for sure, but what we (I at least) need as fanfic writers is engagement!

And tbh I also write a lot when I'm feeling a bit down, because comments and feedback are a true source of joy for me. Things are kinda hard and draining these days, and so I post fanfics hoping for this little rush of people interacting back. That's why I've been more whining than usual haha, Pit Babe is a super active fandom right now and the kudos-hit ratio is above usual, but the comments are way down (not just on my works, yeah I track that kind of things I like stats). And I understand not leaving comments every time, I don't do it either, I don't mean to shame or guilt trip, but when the kudos and bookmarks keep getting up but you don't get proper words of people actually interacting, it's kinda frustrating. Please give me the love lmao.

Anyway sorry for the rant, I truly appreciate you coming here to say this, it means a lot. I'll keep writing for Pit Babe for a while because it has a hold on my soul for now (and I'm sorry for everyone waiting for an FtC update. I'll be back to it soon I swear, but I'm riding the Pit Babe wave for now). Thanks again!

#askinrain #ask #pit babe the series #and others #i'll be better soon and stop complaining lol sorry about that #need to be a baby sometimes idk

not to romanticize my mental issues but sometimes having adhd is very useful because today during a meeting that could have been an email i kept thinking about crabs wearing small tophats and having little dancing parties and how they'd sound in tap shoes.

and when my boss was like "raquel what do you think?"

i was like "well, i think the others have made good points about this, of course, and i'd be happy to circle around later on it, but i'd love to take a moment and resonate with this before offering my own suggestion. i want to hear what others think before anticipating the client's needs."

and then i went back to not listening but this time it was imagining snails that joust.

#me: hehe funny #the hatemail: you should be fired immediately the fact you are scum enough to NOT LISTEN #in a SINGLE MEETING #that was about a project you DONT WORK ON #means that you are EVIL and SUCKING UP TIME #like bro .... idk how to tell u this sometimes people be in meetings they don't need to be in #i only got asked to participate bc there's an element of the project that resembles #a piece i wrote a while back #and i know this element exists bc #we've already had a meeting where i told them what i did how i did it and what i suggest #so there's nothing else for me to add really #also im close with all the coworkers who are working on that element #and they just gchat me their questions #idk how to tell u this but someone zoning out in a single 30 minute meeting where they LITERALLY #don't work on that project ?#that's just fucking anti-capitalism baby #i was being a revolutionary

tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.

but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.

#qsmp neg #qsmp crit #discourse #<- for blacklists #im not grumping or anything im just musing on like. the mechanics of why everyone is so upset about the latest fight #and how it can be avoided while still keeping these fights genuinely difficult and intense #its hard because there's so many players and they all have wildly different strengths and weaknesses #so someone who could take on the code easy needs that enemy scaled differently than someone who isn't a big fighter #but it's hard to do that in a world where they interact w the same enemy #and you only have so much man-power to cater to a big server like this one #and then you bring in the big powerful items that the players can and can't access but which the admins have ultimate power over #and the fact that some of the admins themselves have lag issues or aren't super great at pvp so they accommodate that with better gear #and it starts getting messy #but for the fights themselves yeah regardless of what armour or gear or killing-methods they use there should Always be a win condition #and idk maybe there was one and we just didn't get to see it #but if that win condition is 'parents sit in the safe room with their babies while the others are overrun'#then i think there are ways to build better win conditions #anyway i love game design and player/dm interactions qsmp hire me now i want to know your behind the scenes #jk im too busy to apply #but man. i wanna nerd out so bad that sometimes i think about it

Thinking about steddie future where they're both just average guys. No rockstars, no basketball players just two Normal men living a normal life because honestly? they deserve it. They deserve soft domesticity and happiness.

They both have jobs they like but don't love and they're happy with that. Eddie maybe becomes an electrician, working for someone else's company. His coworkers are chill, he gets to get out and work with his hands and that's more than he could have asked for. Steve is a physical therapist, or a manager in some business. He likes his team and the steady hours. He's not working for his dad which is a plus.

They buy a house together, that's not a mansion but it's not a trailer either. Steve does a lot of the dishes because Eddie hates it, hates the feeling of old food on the plates and cutlery. So Eddie will kiss Steve on the cheek and does the laundry because Steve fucking hates laundry. And sitting on the floor watching TV while he folds clothes is honestly sort of relaxing?? Love is doing the chores your partner hates.

Steve and Robin go out for brunch at least once a month, where they catch up and gossip for hours and hours and Steve comes home lighter with updates on Robin and Vickie. Eddie will have nightly phone calls with Wayne, where they talk and laugh and Eddie will eventually hand the phone over to Steve so he and Wayne can talk sports together. When he's in town Dustin will come over and stay in their spare room and they laugh and joke so much it's just like old times. They go over to Jeff's house for dinner on a semi regular basis, and it's nice having normal friends.

They adopt a very annoying cat who will climb all over them in bed and meow in their faces when they don't wake up to feed it breakfast in time. Steve will go for jogs on a Saturday morning, coming home to Eddie reading in bed. Some old western book Wayne recommended to him. There's a steaming cup of coffee waiting on their bedside tables that Eddie's prepared.

They take time off of work and go on a week long vacation because they can do that now. They do dorky touristy things and Eddie buys a mug to send to Wayne. Steve takes a lot of dorky photos of the two of them.

Idk they deserve to be normal and alive and happy with no upside down anymore <3

Oh I love this! I had actually been thinking about tradesman Eddie for a little bit I am so, so glad you’ve come up with this!

I can so completely see him learning a trade and just getting employed and put through his time by a small local employer! He has to go through his exams and that part of it worries him when he first gets the job but his team end up being really supportive and Steve stays up late with him, practicing circuits and wiring and quizzing him on currents and volts. Eddie returning the favour, letting Steve mark up his muscles and be a living anatomy dummy. Sure it gets a little sexy from time to time but more often than not it’s just them testing each other as Steve identifies bones and Eddie talks about parallel circuits.

The monthly brunches mentally and physically revive Steve after working extended hours with patients that he really does want the best for but a jobs a job and it can get pretty tiring. They joke that they rebalance each others chakras but they really do feel realigned after their meet ups. Eddie can see it to, sometimes he’ll come pick them up when it’s been a boozy brunch and delights in seeing them happy and light, clambering over each other to tell Eddie something about one of the waiters or an especially good dish they ordered. When he drops Robin home Steve sits in the front and looks at peace and Eddie feels the same way.

Their weekends are for them, sometimes that means staying home and cleaning the whole place between ordering food in and sometimes that means going on a day trip and taking Wayne around all the antique spots around the county and seeing what horrors they can uncover. Top spot currently sits with Wayne’s find of a doll whose limbs had been replaced with horse legs and had the head of a fish. Of course they bought it.

Every time they go on a holiday they make sure to send postcards to everyone, including themselves, seeing if they’ll get home before the postcard does. Steve keeps them in a photo album, each with a Polaroid of them next to it. Sometimes taken by a stranger, sometimes just a close up of their faces squashed together. It’s Eddie’s favourite thing to go through on their anniversary, or any day really, just loves being reminded that this is the life they get to have.

It’s mundane, dare say even normal, but they love it. Steve comes home every night, happy to put his scrubs in the washing machine next to Eddie’s uniform, happy to be where he feels loved.

#momo :((((( you never put a foot wrong and your words are Art #I honestly feel very lucky to receive them #cat dads is so painfully true. they buy it the best food they can afford and toys and cat nip and pander to its every need #and it just loves them so aggressively for it. they have one of those baby slings for it #I love them doing dorky tourist stuff!!! I want them messing with perspective to create funny photos like holding buildings #Steve being on the phone with Wayne for the entirety of the game so they can discuss it real time. sometimes it’s just silence and Eddie #will go to speak and both Steve and Wayne will stress shush him so he goes off to meet Jeff and the guys #sometimes the guys come over and they have a night of whatever movie has come out on tape #it’s domestic and normal and they get old and happier #they go to whatever gig eddie gets tickets for. they go on their first trip abroad. they host Christmas.#(only the once though. neither of them have recovered from that experience)#idk you are just so right they can just be normal guys in love and being happy #sorry this isn’t the best reply I’m very rusty. I just love your ideas #thank you so much I really mean it #momo #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington #ask

YALL. i’m so excited about this that i’m not gon do a fancy introduction!!

one of the colognes elvis wore, often in the 50s, was lenel for men. i have a bottle of it, and it’s absolutely delightful! the official notes aren’t written anywhere, but to me it smells like flowers with a classic cologne undertone and bit of baby powder!

now, i got a new bottle of perfume today: wild musk by coty. i never smelled it or anything, but it’s been around since 1972. figured it was worth a shot!

i opened the bottle, took a lil sniff, and immediately went “what does this smell like that i already own?”

…IT SMELLS LIKE THE FUCKING FEMININE VERSION OF ELVIS’ COLOGNE.

tldr; i’m gon make a post on all the colognes and perfumes related to elvis for my friends that also associate scent with memory <3

(tagging people i think would appreciate this or could give their two cents): @kiankiwi @mooodyblue @lookingforrainbows @alienelvisobsession @arianatheangel-girl @hooked-on-elvis

#elvis presley #cologne #perfume #i LOVE having perfume as a special interest #cause scent is my biggest tie to memory #also smelling that cologne and knowing that lil baby e smelled like that in the 50s is very comforting :-)#that post will be coming sometime tonight <3 #i need to try all the colognes he’s worn #i know ppl say brut but my ma hates that stuff #canoe by dana is another one #and according to ginger #neutrogena face soap😭#idk gimme ur two cents #ok love u bye

See I think if I'd been born a guy I wouldn't be this pathologically avoidant trying to plan my career because there are plenty of situations you can find as a cis man where you just Do Tasks in awkward silence and you can get to those as a woman but you have to go through the rings of hell socializing first and then besides, a lot of those jobs already have so many men that you stand out when the whole point was you Don't want to do that

#you gotta be god's strongest soldier to survive this shit and i am not! i am god's weakest most pathetic soldier!#i survived five years of customer service crying weekly and getting harassed and being a baby about it #when i got promoted no one would listen to me and it made me constantly anxious and then so tired it took me a year to be able to #think about having a job as something remotely positive and stop crying about it #idk how other women are doing this shit a guy treats me like his sexy servant and i feel BAD and upset for years #and think of what he said 7 years later and they only touched me on the shoulder and made comments other people go through worse!#but i am not strong or determined i just want to go through my life in peace and stop talking to people altogether #it wasn't just guys who treated me badly older women made fun of me and called me lazy and stupid #tutoring was fine but i felt like i was putting on that same performance and at that point it all felt so awful i just. didn't want to #i can see no way out of talking to people for the rest of my life and it gets me down sometimes #i know i get to come home but even then i will probably need people to live with #i basically only like my family and close friends talking to me sometimes even that is hard #sometimes it's way easier to type and feels less awful #i think i have to just keep on keeping on until i can finally get good enough to freelance edit and code that's the only thing i can think #of doing that doesn't make me cry #emails are fine they suck but i don't have to control my face and tone so.

-Visiting Gale

It's been one week.

One week since Sam wore her father's ghostface costume.

One week since Tara had to see two other friends dying at their hands.

One week since Gale almost die.

Tara knows that the relationship between Gale and Sam is complicated, but she also knows how much her sister looks up to her.

It's almost like she's the mother figure that sam has never had.

And if Tara has to be honest, she also sees Gale that way.

Sam has been miserable ever since Gale ended up at the hospital. Unless it's to go to work, She barely goes out of her room, barely talks to anyone and barely eats.

Of course, Tara won't let her sister's self-destructive mechanism win.

Sam is stubborn, but Tara is on another level of stubbornness.

"Okay you need to stop, get out of the bed"

"No, leave me alone" sam said, covering herself with the covers.

'25, but she acts like a child', tara thinks.

Tara, being the sweet little sister she is, pushed sam out of her bed, and that ended up with Sam falling on her back on the floor.

"TARA! Did you forget i'm still injured?" Yes, actually. Tara was so focused on pursuing her mission to get Sam out of bed that she did forget her sister got stabbed.

Well, it's too late now.

"Not my fault. I tried to ask you nicely but you didn't listen" Tara said with a smug smile on her face. She then added "Go take a shower and get dressed, we're going somewhere"

Sam, of course, did not listen to her and decided that the bed was a much better option than what Tara proposed.

Why did Tara even think that it was going to be easy to convince her?

"SAM! will you just get the fuck out of this bed?" Now Tara was gettin impatient.

"i'm older than you, and i can do whatever i want"

Oh.

Okay. Sam wants to play the big sister card? Let's play it then.

Sam thought she won. Tara finally stopped trying.

But Sam should know better than that.

Tara Carpenter doesn't give up easily.

It's been 30 minutes since Tara left her room without saying anything. Has she gone too far? Has Tara really gotten offended by her words?

Sam was about to get out of bed and check on Tara, when she heard HER voice.

"Get out of this bed c'mon"

No. She did not call her.

"I know you heard me."

Oh no, she did.

Kirby Reed was standing at Sam's door with that little shit smirking next to her.

"You said you wouldn't follow my orders because i'm not old enough, so i called someone that is old enough to help me out" Tara said in a proud and devilish tone.

Yeah, Tara was right. Her plan worked. Sam took a shower and got dressed, and with kirby's help, she was even able to convince her to eat something.

But now there's the actual real hard part.

"So where are we going?" Sam asked curiously.

Tara and Kirby kept glancing at each other without saying a word.

"Hello? Are you two still here? Where are we going?" But after not getting an answer again, Sam lost her *already* non-existent patience. "If you don't tell me, i'm going back to my room, and it won't be that easy to get me out of -"

"We're going to see Gale" Tara decided to admit.

"Absolutely not" Sam ran into her room again and slammed the door.

Mh. That went better than she expected.

"I'm going to talk to her" Kirby said, already heading to Sam's room, but Tara stopped her.

She had to be the one dealing with it. It's her sister.

"Sam? I just want to talk, i promise that if you really don't want to, we don't have to go" Tara tried to be as convincing as possible.

A few minutes pass before a distraught Sam opens the door and falls into Tara's arms, sobbing.

Oh... something must be really wrong with her, Tara knows her sister. She doesn't act like this. The only time she saw Sam being an emotional wreck was when Gale was attac- Wait.

Tara was starting to connect the dots.

"You don't- you don't think that Gale getting hurt is your fault do you?"

"Yes, i do, because- because IT IS my fault. Why would she even want to see me? I'm the one who put her in a hospital bed." Sam cried even harder, feeling completely unable to calm down.

Tara didn't say anything.

Her original plan was to NOT force Sam into going to see Gale.

But Tara knows that Sam will never believe her words unless she sees it with her own eyes.

And that's why she drags Sam out of her room and into Kirby's car.

The car ride to the hospital was hell for both Tara and Kirby, Sam hasn't stopped complaining for one second. She's acting like an actual child throwing tantrums.

Oh, Tara is so going to tease her for it when she feels better.

They finally arrive at the hospital.

Tara ends up literally having to push Sam into Gale's room. She knew that it would've been hard but not THIS hard.

There's a moment of silence between them. No one dares to speak. They're just all staring at each other.

The peaceful silence is broken when Tara and Kirby start laughing unstoppably at Sam's inaudible "Hi Gale." Of course, they were aware that Sam was going to kick their asses the moment they stepped one foot out of this room.

But at least it was worth it.

"What happened to you? Did i break the big bad Samantha Carpenter?" Gale said, surprising everyone.

Tara, for the first time in days, saw Sam genuinely smiling.

It's been another week from the day Sam finally visited Gale at the hospital, and they've been inseparable ever since.

You might think it's a positive thing.

But no.

For Tara, it isn't.

Everyday. Every single day. Sam refuses to leave Gale's hospital room when visiting hours end.

And Tara, every single day, has to forcefully drag Sam out of the room.

It's not always bad. Sometimes, Sam is more collaborative than other days, but today is not one of them.

"Sam, please, for the love of god, we need to go, or they'll call the cops... again."

"No. Who even decides visiting hours? I can visit Gale whenever i want."

"Yeah, that's not how it works"

"And i couldn't care-"

"I am demanding you to get the hell out of my room and listen to your sister." Gale interrupts the sister's daily fight.

"But-" Sam saw the look Gale gave her and decided it was better to shut her mouth and stop giving Tara a hard time. "Okay, but promise me you will call me if you need anything"

"Yes Sam. Now go"

"And remember to stay hydrated"

"Yes"

"And get some sleep"

"I will, if you finally let me rest"

"And text me when you wake up"

"I will get up from this bed and kick you out myself if you don't disappear in the next 5 seconds."

Alright, it's time for sam to actually leave the room this time.

Mh Tara is being too quiet, Sam thought.

Weird- oh.

Maybe she should really try to make this easier for her.

Tara was asleep on a chair outside of Gale's room.

#this is actually just a silly funny thing #i made this because i was rambling about needing more of sam tara and gale and i came up with this idea #this is actually shitty #i tried to be funny but idk if it worked or not lmao #i just love the idea of sam being a big baby sometimes and tara having to act like the big sister in those moments #sam only following orders from her mother (gale) and her older sister (kirby) is such a funny concept to me #tara now knows how it feels to deal with a sister that doesn't listen to anything she says #sam and tara are gale's adopted daughters #tara carpenter #sam carpenter #gale weathers #kirby reed #fic tag

do you ever get so enamoured by a character that you dont want to love them, to be them of be loved by them, rather you want to merge into their very being? to know every single tick they have, every scar, every trauma, every like and dislike? i want to know them better than i know myself

yes i am very normal about todd

#dead poets society #todd anderson #ramblings #again #idk i have too many thoughts #need to find some way to get them out sometime #and yes #i am very normal about him #sweet baby #plus i relate to him on a molecular level #maybe that has something to do with it
