HELLO SPONTANEOUS PART 2 TO MANLY STEVE (inspired by the fact my dad is working on one of his classic cars rn)

One day once Steve and Eddie are dating, Steve buys himself a real junker of a car, from the 50s, barely working, missing wheels, broken down, and they keep it parked behind the Munson's new trailer.

And Steve is determined to fix it up. Rebuild the body, fix the engine, redo the interior. Really get his hands on it, fix it, make it his.

His father liked cars, but only if they were new, expensive, and he didn't have to touch the engine. He'd brag about horsepower, and top speed, but fixing it and changing the oil was blue collar work and "below him". Steve likes getting hands on, physical work, finding a problem and working around it.

So he spends hours tinkering with it, finding new parts, and Eddie and Wayne join him. Eddie taking all the knowledge his father gave him of hotwiring and stripping cars for parts and using it productively. Making it a happy memory. So of course Wayne is there. Getting as involved as he can when Eddie keeps reminding him to take it easy, dont get hurt, they can share the work. (Wayne's car knowledge is a big help)

I just!!!!! Them forming this new loving family unit and working to create something together

Momo I’m so sorry I’m so late getting back to you!!

I LOVE your ideas, as always.

What about Steve, Eddie and Wayne going off in Eddie’s van to scope out scrap yards/used parts. They make a day off it every month or second month, touring round their usual spots. Eddie elbow deep in a pile of parts when he he hears Wayne’s slow and steady drawl that cuts through the noise of the yard

‘Boys, think I found somethin’

Eddie sidles up, looking over Wayne’s shoulder when Steve approaches from the opposite side. Wayne just raises an eyebrows and points with his cigarette to an old piece of kit that’s seen better days but by Steve’s reaction you’d think he’d just been handed seventeen babies, a station wagon and a family home to house them all.

It’s the piece Steve had been looking for for god knows how long. Only thing is, it’s more expensive than it has any right to be. They only find this out after Steve takes it up to the owner to ask thr price. His face falls, dreams of finishing their project car dashed. He tries not to let it show, just gives a tight lipped smile and walks away, hands in pockets.

Both Eddie and Wayne catch each others eyes, theirs heads come together, seeing if there’s a solution. They know they can’t afford it themselves, no chance, they are just managing bills and food as it is, disposable income a rarity. Eddie has an idea though, he asks Steve to let him and wayne contribute towards the cost, knowing that between the three of them and some sweet talking to the yard owner into a payment plan (Wayne has some long running connections that he’s not shy of exploiting when it comes to his boys). It’s not easy, Steve outright refuses at first, saying that he could never take that from Eddie and Wayne, that they don’t need to pander to him. There’s sle loud ones, some angry ones too.

But it’s Wayne’s stern eye and explanation that ‘Steve, son, we’ve put some hours into this thing too. Don’t you think we want to see it done?’

They all know wayne is just giving Steve an out but they don’t mention it, don’t even vaguely acknowledge it. When Steve is sitting in the back of Eddie’s van, bright smile on his face as he cradled the hunk of metal in his arms he’s so grateful he thinks his heart might burst. He doesn’t catch it, too busy staring at the cold object in his lap but Eddie and Wayne share a look, one of pride. They can’t give much, not like what Steve is used to, but what they can give means so much more and that’s evident on Steve’s face.

#idk!!! idk!!! I just want a boys trip to junk yards scrap yards pickers places #I want picker Eddie and Wayne being pros! haggling sellers down to a fair price and Steve being in AWE #but most of all I want them all working on this car together and the minute they hear that engine roar they feel CONNECTED #momo you are so smart fr fr #momotonescreaming #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington #wayne munson

Love characterising nishikiyama as a booze hound drug hound meth addict high every day body mass 75% alcohol hands constantly shaking literally spacing out while driving fifty over the speed limit using elderly folk as speedbumps one hand on the wheel and one hand free to do more drugs and coming into work while functionally deaf and blind and he is still leagues more competent at his job than kiryu

#Yakuza loveblog #i dont talk about nishikiyama enough because im kazamapilled and hate him a little bit but im also kiryupilled and love him so much so you #see my problem? like i adore when nishiki is just. better in every way than kiryu and nobody ever sees that because theyre all too busy #sucking kiryus cock like okay nishiki had the rest of his life planned out when he was twenty and he was an extremely successful criminal #and getting himself noticed in many many circles then kiryu steps outside and gets into a street fight immediately and the entire tojo clan #surrounds him to throw cash at him like nishiki was actually doing so well for himself before his life was ruined. nothing is his fault #like i love just accepting that nishiki has one hell of a substance abuse problem and nobody cares enough about him to talk to him about it #and kiryu thinks its normal because hes the only one who can see that nishikis doing some great work out there so he must be doing #everything right. inconceivable that nishiki has any sort of ‘problem’ hes the real screwup and kiryu knows he makes life harder for himself #but he refuses to change because hes convinced that thats the only thing hes good at. like i believe that nishiki has a coke snorting #mechanic in game like harry db and without his coke buff he cant do as much damage like with it his output is on par with kiryus whos just #been blessed since birth by the violence gods. anyway kiryu is the only person in the world who thinks that nishiki is great do you get it #nishiki has lived his entire life in kiryus shadow and he doesnt care that kiryu has a natural charisma that he will never have. he has to #get out there every single day networking and socialising and hustling and nonstop landing interviews with cool magazines to get his name #out in the world while kazama takes kiryu out and drags him by the elbow to meet people like this is my son kiryu who has every disease and #everyone claps and cheers like i cannot stress enough how on top of the game nishiki is compared to kiryu. he has a car. kiryu doesnt even #have his own lighter. they are not on the same playing field and yet nishikis always trailing behind him because opportunity is always #knocking at kiryus doorstep whether he likes it or not and nishiki gets fed scraps and nothing else and hes the one with ambition he wants #the view on top and most importantly he wanted his brother there with him but nobody ... likes him ... nobody likes nishiki nobodys in his #corner he onky had kiryu and when he lost him it was quite literally him against the world. it always made me laugh how at the end of yk1 #harukas paying her respects at nishikis grave when the only time he ever cared about her was because he wanted her little pendant and he #(actually fucked how alone nishiki was he didnt even have his own fucking men to rely on he was basically working alone with someone he knew #was using him like ??? he was fucking desperate) anyway i really love to think that kiryu being nishikis only friend and the last person in #the world who thought kindly of him (barring like ... kashiwagi) was grieving terribly over his death and haruka being a sensitive and #sweet little girl took the initiative to ask about nishiki and i think kiryu would tell her stories every night of the kind of stuff he and #nishikiyama would get up to when they were her age. he would tell her how amazing nishiki was and how he always looked out for him how he #took care of his sister and how he would always be the one to remind them of impending birthdays and the like. nishiki cared about the #little things .. and he made kiryu want to care about them too but theres just something different between them because nishikis always #been a better person than him .. and he would tell haruka in a voice that sounded like he was begging her to understand that nishiki wasnt a #bad person.. though he did bad things he was a good man and he still wishes with all his heart that he could have done more to save him ...

Bebe Hart & Holly Alto What if we lived in the same town and were both good and our parents had bad reputations we were actively fighting against and we were both girls?

#what then? #sims 3 #sims 3 art #Bebe Hart: -worrying frantically about whether or not she'll inherit her parents' mental illnesses as she struggles to project absolute #normalcy to counter the town's image of her as already doomed to crack. if not genetically then due to the pressure of having to be the #sole responsible one in her family- #Holly Alto: -crawling into her window- BEBE!! My parents just blew up a car and I'm gonna recycle the scrap metal. Do you want some? #I think it'd make a pretty sweet necklace!! #(That's how I see their relationship) #Holly's story could be dramatic too but whenever I played them as a kid she was just some goofball #Bebe: -spiraling-............(Holly shows up) ohmy god!!! Holly!!! <3 #Holly Alto #Bebe Hart #sims art #bea art tag #I love sims 3 outfits...the 2000's fashion...-chefs kiss- it's a period piece

just got off a conference call with the fam and by fam i mean cousins and grandparents and great uncles all coz my baby sister (22) rang my mother up, in tears coz her bitch ass manager yelled at her in front of customers. murder was plotted. an entire smear campaign was launched. doxxing was considered. my brother is on his way to the shop with the intention to get her fired. madness. literally spent the last hour of my work in the toilet trying to talk various family members off the ledge.

#yaz chats to the void #with the way theyre carrying on they will shut down the store #granted this is her first ever work experience -shes spoiled rotten but its workplace harrassment. #my first reaction was to hop on the bus and have a scrap thanks to a lifetime of intimidating would be bullies when they tried my siblings #but she's 22 now and she has to fight her own battles lmaooo #i told her to wage psychological warfare but my mum has ideas about going in as a customer and being an absolute nightmare to the bitch #grandma wants her out of the job - she's only had it for two weeks - and says she will pay for whatever she needs #once i moved past the initial 'fight maim or kill' instinct i had to sit with the fact that we coddled her so much #and that my family is insane. #at least no one's chasing down folks with a cleaver #or running someone over with a car #or threatening to poison someone #omg #omg omg omg #this is bringing back so much stuff #growing up i thought it was normal.... so many dodgy and straight up illegal shit my family would pull #in retaliation for any and all slights #perceived or otherwise #i know what i need to tackle next in therapy

One of the funniest lines from Spectre’s Call is Clark saying that Evan Barde was the only person in Misthallery with whom he could discuss ‘intellectual matters’…

As if everyone else living in town is a country bumpkin, obsessed with fish and the selling junk at the market and whatnot.

(I feel like, in different circumstances, Clark and Desmond would have been friends.)

#Professor Layton #Clark Triton #No wonder some of the townies don’t like him #I just want to see Crow and the Ravens’ reactions #Do they throw eggs at Clark’s car #Or do they try to engage in ‘intelligent’ conversation with him? #Crow: HELLO MR LUKE’S DAD HAVE THE ‘EARD THE LEGEND BEHIND THE BLACK RAVEN #Clark: Excuse me— #Marilyn: GREETINGS GOOD SIR MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO WAYS OF FRUIT SELLING #Clark: No thank you— #Scraps: WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE RISING HOUSE PRICES #Clark: Please I just want to go home #Roddy: SOME OF US FOLKS DON’T HAVE A HOME #Clark: *cries* #desmond sycamore

thought about motorcity for five seconds, I need to go back to doing capitalistic nightmare dystopian race car stories

#this was. an idea i had back in art school and scrapped bc i did not want to draw cars #however i am a leveled up version of myself. i draw stairs voluntarily. i do whole backgrounds head on instead of avoiding them #i have. model cars on my bookshelf (one model car) to use as references for this kind of thing #(leans back in chair) the only thing stopping me is that i want to finish off one of these other ideas first sdhgdliufgrhgsd #i'll add it to the ideas notebook tho and slowly hack away at it

the mean 3am thoughts happen at 3pm now too 🙃🙃🙃🙃

#hits such as: if the world was a fair and even place I would have died in my car accident cause all I've ever wanted to do was die #and my cousin would survived his cause all he wanted to do was be so full of life #things are so great rn it's like. every time I think maybe finally for once in my goddamn miserable life there's a tiny bit of stability #and security #lmao no there isn't #and I gotta do every kinda gymnastics on earth financially mentally emotionally to get my little tiny scrap of stability back #and I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I wanna go back to bed and never get up again. #erin explains it all #delete later

I started playing Fallout 4 for the first time a week and am loving it, have played a LOT of it, but man, the need to keep my ever expanding list of settlements all healthy and happy and safe takes SO much time!

#fallout #like i'm enjoying it #nothing brings me greater joy than scrapping everything in a new settlement so I can build stuff #although it makes me want to be able to scrap every rusted car/broken building on the whole map #but also #it's like i can never keep them all happy for longer than the length of one quest #before they've run out of beds or made too much food so i need to up their defense #or whatever #but from a roleplay perspective #like #absolutely feels like the thing my girl would prioritize #keeping other folks' families safe since hers is beyond help at this point

my favorite car in the entire world ive ever ever owned is officially dead :((

#well. she *can* be fixed #but it’d cost about $3500 #and 1. i dont have that money and 2. i only spent $2000 on her in the first place #so i think i’m just going to clean her out and then sell her for as much as i can get. might end up being scrap because i dont want to sell #someone a shitty car yknow. #;-; im so sad i loved that car
