i wanted her to look at me;
(or the one where robin can't stop staring at nancy, who can't stop staring at steve and his stupid hair)
(or, a prequel to the rebel robin: surviving the upside down au)
It starts with five words that Robin’s surprised didn’t leave her own mouth.
“You’re an idiot, Steve Harrington.”
Robin’s not sure she can survive the rest of the semester like this. Watching Nancy Wheeler, grinning and giggling and batting her lashes at the douchebag that is Steve Harrington.

Over analyzing my favorite Reborn character's theme team.
Cal Whitaker is my favorite character and I am going to ABSOLUTELY overthink all of this but I want to share my thoughts about his team Burning Pride . I KNOW I'm thinking TOO deep about it, but I don't care because I love him.
(I talked about this on discord so I'm copying and pasting most of it to here) Also didn't check for any spelling/grammar errors.
Spoilers to his character ending:
Okay let's start with the obvious one.
You fight the gay man on a Rainbow Field with his team called Burning Pride.
NOW onto the deeper stuff.
The first time we ever battle Cal is on the Rainbow field (unless you randomize everything)
When we meet him he's hot heated and the worst version of himself. In this fight we fight when he's become the better version of himself, even if he still has ways to go it's clear that he is on his way to finally heal. Not just the relation with himself but also his friends and brother.
Now for the Team:
Magmotar:
He has his Magmotar, what we can assume is the pokemon he had with him for the longest time. Out of all his story related battles Magmotar was always the one that was with him (Also his Charmeleon/Charizard, but Magmotar was the only fully evolved and is his ace). Despite having changed, his ace is still by his side. It was by his side through Cal's entire development.
Medicham:
He has mega Medicham, the pokemon of his teacher who has helped him get to where he is now.
Volcarona:
He has has Volcarona, I'd like to think it represents his friendship with Shelly, his best friend. Despite him having changed so much as a person he still holds her close to his heart.
Entei:
Alright let's start with Entei. Entei is one of the legendary beasts, which are also referred to as the legendary dogs, now out of those three Entei is the most dog like. In his first story related battle he had a Houndoom which is seem as like a very evil pokemon, in his second related story battle and the following after that he has Arcanine which is seen as a loyal companion. I already mentioned how that is a reference from how his personality changed from hot headed to the person we know now.
Entei is also known as the volcano pokemon. Which is a reference to his first trainer class 'Volcanic Cal'.
He went from a dog pokemon that is described as evil to a dog pokemon that is seen as a loyal companion to a legendary (dog) pokemon who embodies the passion of magma/is said when it roars that a volcano erupts.
What does this mean?
I think it's supposed to represent that his fire has been rekindled hotter than ever, but instead of anger and revenge his flame is that embodies passion, friendship and loyalty. Rather than the volcano erupting when he's angry though, it's passion, friendship, ect.
Delphox:
Now Delphox, this one is a bit trickier but I think I can stretch far enough for this.
On the Ashen beach field psychic types moves are boosted. Apophyll Academy is set on the Ashen Beach field. The Academy helped him come to terms with his emotions and helped him calm and focus on his mind.
Delphox is fire type which represents his fire type specialty and it's psychic type which represents him coming to peace with his mind.
Now there aren't many fire/psychic types, Victini is also one, but I think Delphox fits this team because before e17 he had an entire team of starters on his team up battle on Pyrous mountain and I think it's supposed to be a callback to that.
Victini:
This one is also a bit of a stretch, but hear me out.
Victini is the Victory Pokemon, it is said that its trainer always wins. But rather than winning battles against other trainers I think Victini is supposed to represent the inner battle that Cal had with himself.
As long as he keeps learning he'll become the better version of himself, in that way he has 'won' against his troubled past self.
One of Victini's pokedex entries says When it shares the infinite energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power. I'd like to think this is a nod to his character ending where Victoria asks him to be the leader for the outing we see in the ending. Just like how Kiki shared her wisdom with Cal, Cal will share that wisdom with everyone there. And that will be passed on as well, creating an infinite 'energy'.
I'm AWFUL at putting my thoughts into words so I hope this all made sense
I just love Cal so much it's unreal.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Signed, your resident Cal stan <3

The insanest hot take in The Sandman Companion is that it tries to say The Corinthian isn't sexually attracted to men
Um wut
Ah my dear no wonder youve been feeling so negative towards the comics if youve been reading this book as a guide! I am still working on your other ask but I think we can confidently dismiss the Sandman Companion as utter bullshit if its gonna attempt to straightwash the Corinthian!!!
So according to this supposed "official" Sandman comic guide Morpheus is an abusive rapist who deserved to die and The Corinthian is Straight. Okay then. Sorry Neil Gaiman but this book sounds like it needs to be put out of print, or updated to actually provide analysis that isnt 100% moronic and baffling that has no actual basis in the comics themselves.
What garbage! Hard pass on ever reading such a thing! Ive read some pretty appalling published analysis in my days (usually articles related to Supernatural where we already knew the writers were hot garbage) but this is a whole other level!
Pro tip for anyone curious about interpreting the Sandman comics - avoid the Sandman Companion like the plague!

I read your fanfics and loved them! Do you take writing commissions?
Thank you so much for reading my fics!! ^^ I do take commissions, actually, and they're currently open! My queue is full, though, since I'm a little backed up 🤔

What's your favorite non-romantic relationship on the show?
The Byers family (Joyce-Jonathan-Will). Hands down. There is so much love there and so much conflict (especially in season 1. Mostly in season 1) it’s heartwarming and heart breaking. They also just feel so real. I love them very much.
As hypocritical as it may seem, what I loved so much about this show (when I first watched) was that at its core, its strength was the friendship between the boys and eleven and the familial bonds between mother and son and brother and brother. The characters and their relationships with one another were so rich and that’s what made the show stand out (not visual effects, not a super intricate Sci-fi plot, and definitely not humor). And though romance is present, it’s a garnish. The show has lost a lot of that in the more recent seasons and it’s sad. I have hoped every season for the Byers to have some focus but every time I’m let down.
🕯️🕯️🕯️Here’s hoping that we get some real Byers family moments before the show ends🕯️🕯️🕯️
